Today is another hard morning court day. It can be said that no one in the Ming Dynasty court, from the emperor to the ministers, wants to go to the morning court!
Before dawn in the early morning, civil and military officials gathered outside the Meridian Gate, waiting for the palace gate to be opened.
Xia Yan, the Minister of Rites, went to Wang Tingxiang, the censor of Zuodu, and asked: "I heard that some time ago, Qin Dewei went to Taibai Tower to attend a cultural gathering. Did you take him there?"
Wang Tingxiang said proudly: "If there are people who will follow our retro-reflective faction, we should of course introduce them to our colleagues in the literary world in the capital in order to make our retro-reflective faction more prosperous!"
Master Xia couldn't help but secretly complain, "Your writing style, Wang Tingxiang, even the emperor looks down upon, so how can you find the courage to show off in the literary world?"
When the leaders of the literary world, Li Mengyang, He Jingming and other leading figures of the retro group were still there, did you, Wang Tingxiang, dare to make such a leap as a leader of the retro group?
But today's focus is not on complaining about Wang Tingxiang. Xia Yan then asked: "Did you hear that Qin Dewei defeated Wang Shenzhong on the spot?"
As a person who fought with Qin Dewei, Wang Tingxiang was certainly deeply impressed: "It can't be said that it was forceful pressure. It felt like plowing the court to clear holes and unilaterally abusing him."
Then Wang Tingxiang quickly reviewed a few words: "Of course, although Wang Shenzhong suffered a disastrous defeat at that time, Qin Dewei and I were suspected of joining forces after all.
In the eyes of outsiders, it may look like bullying the minority with more, and defeating them without force, which makes Lord Xia laugh!"
Wang Shenzhong worked as a foreign minister in the Host and Guest Department of the Ministry of Rites, and Xia Yan was the Minister of Rites. How could he not know how crazy Wang Shenzhong was?
Qin Dewei was actually able to destroy Wang Shenzhong, which was an unexpected surprise!
Wang Shizhong, the old minister of the Ministry of Punishment, came over and said, "I heard you talking about Qin Dewei? What a coincidence, I have just heard of this name.
Some subordinates have just reported that Qin Dewei, a student from Jiangning County, Nanjing, was taken to the Ministry of Criminal Justice last night for beating Li Kaixian, the head of the Civil Service Examination Department, in the street, and has been detained."
Xia Yan: ""
Why is it that every time I want to find you, Qin Dewei, you go to the prison? Do you know how sensitive and troublesome it is to go to the prison to find someone?
Wang Tingxiang shouted softly in surprise: "This is impossible! How could Qin Dewei, the rising star of our retro school, attack someone from the Eight Talents?"
Wang Tingxiang would not be surprised at all if he heard that Qin Dewei was beaten.
There are so many people who want to defeat Qin Dewei, and they can line up from Nanjing all the way to the capital. There is no guarantee that one of them will succeed one day.
But when he heard Qin Dewei beating someone, Wang Tingxiang felt that it was ridiculous. Isn't this stupid enough to exploit weaknesses and avoid strengths?
Because of his age and size, Qin Dewei has always been the kind of person who would never do anything if he could beep.
Is Qin Dewei's throat inflamed this time? Or is he suffering from ulcers in his mouth? So much so that he has to use his hands to solve the problem?
The old minister of the Ministry of Punishment retorted: "How is it impossible? Many people witnessed it, the evidence is conclusive, and there is no doubt that Qin Dewei beat Li Kaixian."
Xia Yan excused himself by saying, "Maybe I have some hidden agenda, so I'll be given a lighter sentence."
Wang Shizhong sighed and said: "Even if there is no inside story, we still have to prove it. What we know now is that Qin Dewei and below are guilty of beating officials and should be given a heavier sentence.
It’s not that I don’t want to be tolerant. You may be able to determine the severity, but in full view of the public, it is impossible to create something out of nothing or something out of nothing.”
Wang Tingxiang frowned, "Can your Criminal Department transfer this case to the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"
Wang Shizhong puffed his beard and glared. If he were ten years younger, just based on Wang Tingxiang's few words today, he would have given him a good fight.
You think the Ministry of Punishment can’t even try a public security case. How much do you look down on the Ministry of Punishment?
The fifty-nine-year-old Wang Tingxiang also knew that he had made a mistake, and he was afraid of making the seventy-year-old Wang Shi angry again, so he did not dare to speak.
It's very dark inside the Sky Prison. When it's first light outside, it's still dark inside. When the sun reaches the zenith outside, the light in the Sky Prison becomes pretty good.
Qin Dewei, who woke up naturally, grabbed the iron fence and shouted to Mr. Feng on the opposite side: "Hurry up! Give me the pen and ink!"
Feng En said suspiciously: "Tell me the truth, did you deliberately enter the palace for the second time just to compose a poem?"
"This is really an accident!" Qin Dewei said anxiously: "While the light is good, hurry up and give me the pen and ink first!"
Feng En stared at Qin Dewei: "Do you know where the pen and ink come from? I bought it from the prison guard! You want it if you want it?"
Qin Dewei said impatiently: "This time I fish you out. The lawyer's fee is tentatively set at two hundred taels. Is it enough to exchange for your writing?"
Feng En could only hand the pen and ink to the jailer on duty in the corridor, and let the jailer pass it to Qin Dewei on the opposite side.
The jailer took the pen and ink, smiled at Qin Dewei and said: "We are also responsible for helping your prisoners deliver things, and this is the transfer fee."
There are rules everywhere. Qin Dewei pointed at Mr. Feng wittily: "It's all in his account!"
Master Feng was a long-term resident of Tianlao. The jailer was not worried about Master Feng running away for the time being, so he gave the pen and ink to Qin Dewei.
After getting the pen and ink he dreamed of, Qin Dewei burst into tears, finally achieving the achievement of Tianlao's poem!
What should I write first? There is really no routine for writing poems in prison. There are many kinds of themes that can be chosen.
You can express despair, or you can write about your own life. You can express your unyielding ambitions, or you can write about your feelings about current events. You can be open-minded and self-deprecating, and you can even satirize politics. Of course, the most desperate thing is to write anti-poetry.
"What do you want when you are transported to Huagai? We met before we dared to stand up", or "Singing generously to the city of Yan, calmly being a prisoner of Chu", or the unfinished recitation last time of "The traveler in life is a reverse traveler, and today he is in the south again"?
Qin Dewei hesitated for a long time, and Master Feng from the opposite side couldn't wait to shout: "Don't worry! Write a poem and bring it to me, and I won't charge you for the pen and ink!"
Okay, Qin Dewei has an idea. Let’s write a song that will sell out together first. It’s not easy to use in other places, so I can only write it here.
After that, he took up a pen and wrote the title on the wall: "Golden Thread Song, the sentiments of Jinling Qin Dewei and Tunbu Feng Jun being imprisoned together."
Then continue to write the main text: "You have been wandering for a long time. In the past ten years, I have been deeply grateful and I am lucky to be in prison with you.
In the past, the same names were not stolen. Just look at Du Ling's weight loss. He was still undiminished, and Yelang was sluggish.
I have to say farewell to my close friends for a long time, and ask myself, is life miserable at this point?"
This poem is not a short poem. When writing this, Qin Dewei got a little stuck and shouted to the opposite side: "Master Feng, when were you born? Heavenly stems and earthly branches?"
Feng En responded: "Xin Younian!"
So Mo Mo, who had no emotion to write poems, continued to write: "I hate you so much, I will cut it for you. You and I are born in Xinyou and Wuyin, and we will spend some time together."
Suddenly, a jailer came in from outside, opened the cell door and held Qin Dewei down: "You are being interrogated, go to the court!"
Qin Dewei was so anxious that he raised his pen and shouted: "Wait until I finish writing!"
The uneducated jailer said impatiently: "Write a few words! You literati are the only ones who have a lot of trouble! The gentlemen are still waiting in the hall. If you are late, it will be our fault!"
The two men couldn't help but say something, one on the left and one on the right, carrying Qin Dewei and went out.
Feng En asked through the iron fence: "Did you write my name?"
Qin Dewei replied: "If you write it, the title will be written!"
That's good, so Mr. Feng felt relieved.
If Qin Dewei can't come back, just spend some money and move to the opposite side, and then continue to write poems happily.
