Now there is actually a scholar who has a dispute with someone over his poetry talent?
Seems like a loyal fan!
But what Tang Yin is thinking about right now is not at all poetry, articles, or calligraphy, calligraphy and painting, but how to be an official and be a good official. He seems to have forgotten his original intention and can't remember how long it has been since he wrote.
On the way back to see Lou Suzhen off, Lou Suzhen rode in a carriage alone, and Zhu Hao and Tang Yin rode together. Tang Yin asked about the dispute between the scholars.
It seems... Tang Yin is still very concerned about his reputation as a poet. He also wants to know who are the great poets in the world.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Oh, someone from the Hanlin Academy composed a poem, which is now circulated in the capital, saying that it is unparalleled in the world. It can be compared with you, Mr. Tang..."
"you?"
Tang Yin looked at Zhu Hao.
Ever since he met Zhu Hao, it seemed that all earth-shattering things were done by Zhu Hao. In addition, Zhu Hao specially emphasized the words composed by people in the Hanlin Academy. Tang Yin naturally felt that it was Zhu Hao's doing.
"Sir, please ask yourself."
Zhu Hao didn't want to explain to Tang Yin, "Madam, I have to trouble you sir to send her back. I have to go to the workshop later and won't accompany you!"
Tang Yin had no intention of sending Lou Suzhen home.
Besides, even if we send people back, what can we do?
With Tang Yin's shy temperament, he probably doesn't know what sex is, and he doesn't seem to care much about it.
"Zhu Hao, don't judge others based on your thoughts."
Tang Yin lectured him with a straight face.
Zhu Hao looked indifferent: "Whatever, I just don't have time to send it. Whether your relationship has progressed or not has nothing to do with me."
It seems that Zhu Hao plays the role of Yue Lao between Tang Yin and Lou Suzhen, but he has no intention of bringing them together. Although Lou Suzhen is not young now, Zhu Hao always feels that Lou Suzhen has an elegant and fairy-like temperament.
If you really marry Tang Yin, it will be a flower stuck in cow dung.
The bad old man is very bad.
If someone with Tang Yin's appearance is said to be a match made in heaven with Lou Suzhen, who has noble ambitions, it would be an insult to this beautiful word.

cabinet.
There has been new progress regarding the collusion between the medical officers of Taiyuan Hospital and the chamberlain Chen Jing.
After the Jinyiwei informed Dali Temple, the Dali Temple reported it and produced the confessions of many prisoners, confirming that Chen Jing and other internal officials had indeed consulted the opinions of many medical officials many times on the emperor's daily records, especially on the condition of his illness. At that time, some
He was also promoted through the recommendation of Chen Jing and others.
In other words, the relationship between the Imperial Hospital and the eunuchs was not a myth. According to law, the first offender should be executed.
"...Jiefu, how do you think this case should be drafted?"
Jiang Mian could not make up his mind on such matters, so he came to seek Yang Tinghe's opinion.
From Yang Tinghe's point of view, regardless of whether other people in the Taiyuan Hospital should be preserved, at least Wu Jie, who was ordered by him to go to treat Zhu Houzhao, should be preserved.
As for the imperial doctors who had followed the emperor south for a long time, they were not within his protection.
Because this matter was proposed by the civil servants themselves, the emperor was not directly involved in the matter. Even Yang Tinghe felt that everything was a business matter.
It was only when the emperor contracted a cold that he had not recovered, that this incident was revealed. In fact, there were also memorials impeaching the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital a few months before.
Who said that after the new emperor ascended the throne, all the ministers around Emperor Zhengde were either killed or exiled?
It was when the wall fell and everyone was pushing back. Because the imperial doctors had to go to the palace for treatment, they had many unclear relationships with the former emperor's ministers. There was no reason for the former emperor's ministers to be punished according to law, but this group of people could
sit back and relax.
Besides, there are indeed many strange things about the death of Emperor Zhengde.
Yang Tinghe thought for a while. He didn't want to expose the relationship between himself and Wu Jie. In such matters, he couldn't show that he paid special attention to Wu Jie. He shook his head and sighed: "Well, let's just do business."
It means that I can no longer be saved. At least in terms of conviction, it is still a death penalty according to the law.
After all, there were precedents to follow in the early years of Zhengde.
But after the sentence is passed, there is still a way to plead for mercy. At that time, someone will be found to persuade the imperial doctors to avoid death.
It is the consistent tradition of the Ming Dynasty to judge first and then plead for mercy.
…
…
Wu Jie, who had suffered in the cell for eight days, was on the verge of emotional collapse.
In two days, the ten-day period set by Zhu Hao will come. If he does not submit by then, his family will suffer. Now he must make a decision, whether to die, to die and deny it, or to die.
Yang Tinghe reported it?
That night, Zhu Hao appeared in the cell area of Zhao Prison.
"……it's here."
The people who brought Zhu Hao to see Wu Jie were not only Lu Song, who had previously interrogated the case, but also Luo An, the governor of Fusi, Beizhen.
Zhu Hao did not go deep into the cell. He only waited at the door of the torture room outside. There were several tables and chairs for the guards to rest next to them. The tea sets on them were all dirty. Zhu Hao obviously didn't care. After all, he was not here to drink tea.
Come.
"Bring the person here." Zhu Hao said.
Immediately, Jin Yiwei came in and escorted Wu Jie, who was being held in solitary confinement, to Zhu Hao.
At this time, Wu Jie was dressed in prison uniform, his body was dirty, and his mood was even worse than before. Although he had not been tortured, he was shackled and walked with a limp. It looked like he had rheumatism and could not adapt to the pain.
The prison is a damp and dark environment.
"you again?"
When Wu Jie saw Zhu Hao, his eyes were wide open with anger and bloodshot eyes. He felt like an enemy would be extremely jealous when meeting each other, and his eyes were filled with hatred.
According to Zhu Hao's estimation, it is impossible for Wu Jie to have a good rest these days.
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "I'm here to see you. I don't want to wait for someone to die, but I also want to come and collect your body... Oh, by the way, your body is basically dead."
Wu Jie's face was ashen. He first looked at Lu Song, and then saw Luo An standing next to Lu Song. He was a little confused.
Because Zhu Hao was sitting at this time, and Luo An and Lu Song were standing behind him. Luo An was wearing a python robe and official uniform, and seemed to have a higher status than Lu Song.
Wu Jie said: "This is the imperial prison. Even if you are the number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty, you are not qualified to speak."
It still cares about procedural justice, giving people a sense of idealism inherent in literati.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Yes, I am a member of the Hanlin Academy and have no right to interfere with the affairs of the Jinyi Guards. How about you impeach me in the cell and say that I have overstepped my bounds? Maybe then we can become a prison guard.
Where are the inmates?"
Wu Jie's face turned ashen.
Zhu Hao looked at Luo An beside him and said, "Envoy Luo Zhen, do I have the authority to deal with this?"
"have."
Luo An answered simply, "Even the life and death of the guilty minister can be decided at will."
"You...you are careless about human lives..."
Wu Jie was so angry that he was trembling all over, and he was even more puzzled. People in Jinyiwei would actually listen to a young champion? Just because this young man had saved the new emperor, the new emperor would leave everything to him? Could it be that the new emperor is like this too?
Nepotism?
Zhu Hao took out something from his arms and said in a calm tone: "This is the report from Dali Temple and the cabinet vote, which has sentenced you to death."
"impossible!"
Wu Jie looked in disbelief.
Although he felt that the matter this time was a bit big, it was absolutely impossible to be questioned about the death penalty. Besides, Yang Tinghe had once assigned him to perform unconventional tasks. Wouldn't he step forward to save his life now?
Zhu Hao waved his hand and asked Jin Yiwei to escort the person in front of him. Zhu Hao showed the draft of the memorial in front of Wu Jie.
"This is Mr. Jiang Ge's calligraphy, not Yang Ge's own handwriting, but there is not much difference. Do you recognize it?" Zhu Hao asked.
Wu Jie was shaking all over and could not speak at this time.
Zhu Hao said: "You must be curious, why does this memorial appear here without Zhu's approval? In fact, I am telling you that once Zhu's approval is completed and the death penalty is imposed, there will be no room for redemption."
Wu Jie still didn't speak.
Now he no longer pursues any matter of procedural justice, he wants to save his own life.
All right, just because you had some dealings with the eunuch in the chamber, you should be sentenced to death?
I neither harmed the late emperor nor the new emperor. The prescriptions I prescribed were all serious prescriptions. Even if the late emperor died, it was not my fault. Why should I take my life?
Even if you want to kill me, if you want my family to suffer, is there still justice? Is there still kingly law?
"I gave you ten days, but now it seems that I am still too optimistic. Your Majesty will approve this memorial before tomorrow at the latest. By then... Daluo Jinxian will not be able to save you even if he comes to earth," Zhu Hao said.
Wu Jie said: "Don't you just want me to confess what Mr. Yang Ge once granted me? I...I said..."
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "You don't say it, but you write it. It needs to be written in your own hand and signed. Don't worry, this thing will not hurt anyone for the time being. You are saving yourself."
, I am also saving your colleagues. Only this thing can save your lives."
Wu Jie glared at Zhu Hao: "What guarantee do you have?"
Zhu Hao smiled and then waved his hand: "Bring the red pen."
Lu Song immediately asked people to bring the brush and cinnabar to the table in front of Zhu Hao. Zhu Hao then picked up the pen and wrote on the memorial: "Jing and Hong and others have taken the bait in vain. If they are serious, they should be killed. The rest...
…”
After writing this, Zhu Hao stopped and called Wu Jie to him again.
When Wu Jie saw what Zhu Hao showed in front of him, he collapsed on the ground.
"You...you are being treasonous...you actually dare to use His Majesty's handwriting..."
Wu Jie's eyes were full of horror, not only because he saw Zhu Hao dare to use imperial pen and red mark on the memorial, but also because he was horrified that Lu Song and Luo An were calm beside him, as if this was what they should do.
"How to write the rest is up to you."
Zhu Hao said, "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you don't write it, I will condemn you to death in person. But don't say I'm unkind!"
At this time, Wu Jie finally understood why Zhu Hao was able to gain the trust of the new emperor.
Wu Jie said: "No wonder, no wonder, His Majesty has people like you by his side. In the past few months, the court has been turned upside down by the new emperor. It turns out it was you."
