Lin Xu saw this and couldn't help but sigh secretly!
As expected of a famous minister, at such a young age, not only does his words sound like those of an adult, but his temperament is far beyond ordinary people!
As the saying goes, when you are three years old, you look older, and when you are seven, you look older.
This guy is definitely a talent!
As for Jing Wenshan being sent to the capital, he had heard about it.
Last year, the fire of converting rice into mulberry that started in Zhejiang has now also spread to Jiangsu, and is likely to intensify!
This past winter, due to food shortages, countless people died of cold and hunger. Now that spring is finally here, people can’t wait to plant mulberry seedlings in the farmland, hoping that the seedlings will grow up quickly and bear fruit soon.
The ears of rice are grown to satisfy the hunger!
As for the government’s call to convert rice into mulberry, almost no one responded!
As the prefect of Suzhou, Jing Wenshan should have been a strong promoter of this matter. However, Jing Wenshan knew very well that the reason why the court repeatedly promoted this matter was mainly to spin more silk in exchange for silver and replenish the national treasury.
Emptiness and the emperor's own spiritual use.
However, for the people who have just survived the famine, changing rice to mulberry is just making things worse. Who knows how many people will starve to death!
So Jing Wenshan went to the court to explain the pros and cons of the matter. He also suggested that the emperor should not indulge in monasticism, but should concentrate on state affairs, punish treacherous ministers, and eliminate officials!
As we all know, practicing Taoism for immortality was the most pious thing of Emperor Jiaqing at that time. No official had dared to complain about this matter before. Jing Wenshan’s memorial not only set a precedent, but also touched the emperor’s objections.
, making him furious!
In addition, Jing Wenshan suggested that the emperor punish treacherous ministers and purge officials, which was a direct attack on the chief minister in power!
Under the furious anger of the emperor and his chief minister, it was natural that Jing Wenshan's house was confiscated and he was sent to the capital for questioning.
"Jing Lin, besides mother, who else is in your family?"
"I also have a sister, Jingyang. She feels that her father was unjustly accused because he devoted himself to serving the country. She set off more than ten days ago to go to Beijing to avenge her father! Since then, there has been no news from her."
"How old is your sister?"
"Just turned sixteen."
"Is she in trouble? Is anyone protecting her?"
Jing Lin shook his head.
"A girl who has just turned sixteen, with no money and no one to protect her, goes to Beijing alone to avenge her father?"
Lin Xu was very surprised: "This is too dangerous!"
"She wants to go, who can stop her?"
Jing Lin said coldly.
Lin Xu heard the resentment in Jing Lin's tone, looked at him a few times, and asked, "Jing Lin, do you think your father is guilty?"
After hearing this, Jing Lin suddenly raised his head!
He looked at Lin Xu and looked at each other, lowered his head again, and said in a low voice: "I don't know if he is guilty, but I know that he will definitely be questioned after he writes this letter, and even
We will all be killed, and we will all become the family members of sinners, living on the streets without food and clothing, or even die of illness and starvation. However, he still wrote this letter!"
After a moment of silence, Lin Xu sighed softly and said seriously: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility! Don't blame your father. Since he is sitting in that seat, he has the responsibility to write this memorial to the court!"
"Then do you think he is guilty?"
Jing Lin suddenly raised his head and asked!
"I can't answer your question, but I can tell you one thing: your father is a responsible, courageous, and conscientious man!"
Lin Xu said in a deep voice!
After hearing these words, a thoughtful look appeared on Jing Lin's face, and then he fell into silence.
At this time, Ruolan and Yang Min came over, carrying a lot of things wrapped in oil paper, including steamed buns, steamed buns, and cooked beef. This chapter has been completed!
