Su Jin had no sleep all night, and early the next morning, he rushed to Hefeng Tower in Dongcheng to tell Yan Biyun the whole story, and hoped that Yan Biyun would use his connections in the yamen to find out the real reason why Wang Anshi and others were convicted.
Back in the academy, no one knew the reason why Wang Anshi and others were convicted. When he asked Cao Min, Cao Min said that he had not found out. When he asked the mountain chief, Qi Shunbin also said that the government did not come to inform him. Su Jin felt more and more strange.
, how can it be like this, arresting someone but not mentioning the crime? Is this the legendary 'unfounded' crime? But if it is an 'unfounded' crime, how can I escape?
Su Jin simply didn't ask, and all the students were anxious and talking, and they couldn't even feel at ease in class. Many people knew that Su Jin had a close relationship with Wang Anshi, Wei Songhe and others, so they came to comfort Su Jin. This made Su Jin very upset.
I was touched, it turns out that my popularity is really good.
In the afternoon, Yan Biyun came to the academy in person to find Su Jin. Su Jin hurriedly asked for leave and left the classroom. He followed Yan Biyun to a secluded place where no one was around. Yan Biyun frowned and said, "Things are getting tricky."
Su Jin hurriedly asked: "What exactly is the crime?"
Yan Biyun pursed her lips and softly uttered a few words: "The disaster of articles."
Su Jin's worries turned out to be true. It turned out to be a literary prison. Since the beginning of class rule, there have been cases of people being killed for writing in almost every dynasty. Emperor Qin's burning of books and enforcing Confucianism was the beginning of the literary prison, involving more than 400 people being buried alive.
, Su Jin remembered that there was a dynasty in later generations where everyone wore pigtails, and there were hundreds of disasters in writing, involving tens of thousands of people.
In the feudal era, if you were a little careless in what you said and did, you would be doomed as long as the superiors looked displeased with you; the politics of the Song Dynasty was still relatively clear and the literati were in power, so naturally they were more tolerant of these aspects, but there were also cases, and others were not
In other words, the unlucky Liu Yong of this dynasty was disqualified from becoming an official by the emperor just because he wrote the phrase "forbearing to change the reputation for shallow pouring and singing in a low voice", and was left to be miserable for the rest of his life? This can be regarded as a
The curse of small words.
Su Jin frowned, pacing back and forth, thinking about countermeasures, and suddenly stopped and asked: "Do you know what exactly was written that caused trouble? Do you also know who is coming to investigate this matter? It is the imperial court.
Shi Tai or someone else."
Yan Biyun said: "The specific content is not clear. It is said that it was because of the policy manuscripts that were circulated from the academy. It is said that this investigation was promoted by the Yin of the Tang Dynasty and was not reported to the Yushitai."
Su Jin felt bright and said slowly: "This thief, Cao Min, must have provided the manuscript. The mastermind behind all this is one person."
Yan Biyun nodded and said: "Teng Wang Zhao Zongdan."
"Yes, this is exactly an act of revenge against us. I didn't expect him to be so shameless and take action in this regard. If it doesn't work, we can't let them make trouble in this matter."
Yan Biyun said: "What are you going to do?"
Su Jindao: "First of all, we have to take care of things. I'm afraid that these sworn brothers have already suffered all kinds of torture when they entered the government office. Although they are still strong, they are students after all. Once they are beaten into confession, there will be no way to save the matter. We must
Call them and send a message in, telling them to hold on, I will have time outside to find a way to rescue them."
Yan Biyun nodded and said: "This matter is easy to handle. The slave family can handle it. My friends in Yingtian Mansion can be considered to be talking, but what can you do to rescue them?"
Su Jin said: "Don't worry about other things. You can't get involved too deeply. If you are implicated, I will never redeem myself."
Yan Biyun said angrily: "How can you say such things? It is superfluous for you and me to say these things; just listening to your meaning, it seems that you are not sure."
Su Jin nodded and said, "I really don't have much confidence. How can a commoner win in a fight with the prince of the Song Dynasty? Besides, there are so many minions around him."
Yan Biyun said: "Since we are not sure, why not take a long-term approach to avoid getting out of hand?"
Su Jin held Yan Biyun's hand and said: "Sister Yan, you know me, my temper is like this, I will stick to the end of things that I know for sure. This time, several brothers fell into the hands of the government, if I don't kill them
I tried my best to save him and asked for perfection. I am afraid that I will spend my whole life in self-blame. Besides, how could Prince Teng let me go? No matter from selfishness to righteousness, I have to do it. Do you understand what I mean?
Are you worried?"
Yan Biyun looked at Su Jin and said softly: "Of course Biyun understands, but how do you want to do it? Why not send someone to inform your uncle and ask him to come forward to see if there may be a change."
Su Jin waved his hand and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. The capital city and Yingtian are thousands of miles apart, and it will take five or six days to get there by horseback to send letters back and forth. How can Brother Wang and Brother Wei survive these days of torture? If
Gritting his teeth and refusing to confess, he was afraid that the rescued person would also be ruined; besides, his uncle was the chief official of the Third Department, and this matter was not within his authority at all. The Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall was Lu Yijian, and he and Master Yan were estranged from each other.
It is definitely not appropriate for the Secretary to be in charge of the Yushitai affairs, and the Zhengshitang will naturally take the opportunity to cause trouble, but will bring unnecessary trouble to Mr. Yan, so this matter will not work."
"Then what should we do?" Yan Biyun knew that water from far away could not quench the thirst at this moment, so it was really not feasible.
Su Jin pondered for a while and said: "For the current plan, I alone have limited power. I can entangle the students to go to the Yamen to petition, or I can use the opinions of the people in Youyou to prevent them from taking further actions. After all, the students' articles are biased.
It’s not like you’ll be guilty of a crime, you can at most just reprimand someone, and you’ll arrest someone if you try to do it; and I don’t know if they took the words out of context and what words they got as evidence. Once they understand it, they can refute it with reason.”
"Petition? Can this be accomplished?"
Su Jin thought deeply: "At least it can force them to announce the whole case, facilitate rescue, and create public opinion. Blocking the way of speech is a taboo of the court. In addition, this is an act of selfish revenge. It was not done by Yushitai. Public opinion
It might work."
Yan Biyun was about to say more, but Su Jin reached out to stop her and said: "Sister Yan, I know you care about me. I am really not sure about this matter, but I have to do it. I only ask my sister for one thing. If I don't
Shen is also involved in it. If you can, save him. Don't force him to come, so as not to involve yourself and your uncle. However, I ask my sister to send the people in my house back to Luzhou. My mother at home also asks you to take care of me. Su
If the brocade can see the sun, it must be knotted with grass and a ring to repay it."
When Yan Biyun heard this, his heart was shaken. He held Su Jin's hand with both hands and said: "Why do you say this, sir? If something happens to you, how can Biyun live alone? Just do it. If something happens, Biyun will be with you."
Live and die together.”
Su Jin was moved, gently squeezed her cold little hand, turned around and strode away.
There was a commotion in the academy. After Su Jin told the students that Wang Anshi and others were convicted for writing in the article, everyone could not believe their ears. Since Taizu proclaimed the rule of culture in the world, there had never been a case of writing a crime.
Convicted of articles.
When Su Jin secretly revealed that Professor Cao had collected the articles and handed them over to the government, everyone was filled with indignation and cursed endlessly.
The afternoon class could no longer continue, and no one could sit in the classroom and listen to the class with peace of mind. The gentlemen giving lectures realized this, and after hearing the reason, they gritted their teeth in anger, but as teachers, students could not
Normally, if you yell and curse, you can only announce that you are studying on your own and then go to the study to sulk.
Su Jin and Wu Hengxin took the opportunity to secretly add fuel to the flames, fermenting the matter until everyone felt that everyone was in danger and no longer dared to talk nonsense and write articles in the future. Su Jin proposed that everyone go to the Yamen collectively to petition for investigation. If it was true,
If you use words that insult the Song Dynasty and the Holy Emperor, and have reactionary remarks, there is no need to blame the government for arresting the person. If it is just taken out of context, the person must be released immediately.
Everyone had different reactions, some said worriedly: "If we don't do this well, we will get into trouble. This matter can be big or small. If it is small, it is not even worth mentioning. If it is big, we can be punished for the crime of Xiao Ju."
Su Jindao: "This is purely a voluntary act. If you don't want to go, you don't have to go. But I want to ask everyone, if the yamen really takes people for no reason and the words taken out of context can be used as evidence, then can you and I still study and become officials in the future?"
I am so worried and self-conscious all day long that I might as well buy a shell and shrink into it and become a tortoise with my head shrunk. What more talk about serving the court and shining on the lintel?"
Wu Hengxin echoed: "Su Jin is right. This matter is not done for Wang Anshi and others, but for ourselves. I understand this truth, but you don't understand. You are all cowards."
Songhua eggs.”
Everyone rolled their eyes, but they had to admit that what he said was reasonable, so Su Jin struck while the iron was hot and made a three-part agreement, stipulating that no swearing or smashing was allowed, no assault on the Yamen, no disobedient words were allowed, and only the facts of the case and the evidence were announced.
You can't just take away the students from my academy without knowing why.
Everyone agreed, so fifty or sixty people followed Su Jinhao out of Minglun Hall and went to the outside world. Many people who were watching the excitement and didn't mind the trouble also joined in, and even more students who wanted to see Su Jin and others embarrassed also joined.
After joining in, when we arrived at the door, there were already nearly a hundred people.
After receiving the news, Cao Min hurriedly brought several of his subordinates to stop him. However, they couldn't stop him because everyone was already angry with him. When they saw him, he still spoke rudely and had a fierce face, and everyone rolled their eyes at each other.
Su Jin defeated Cao Min with just one sentence: "Master Cao, why don't you go and look for faults in my poems and articles? Why are you wasting your time here? You may be able to use this to get promoted to the third level and become rich."
It’s expensive.”
Cao Min knew that the matter was exposed, so he could only watch Su Jin leading everyone away. In a flash of thought, he hurriedly called the driver. He had to go to the Yamen and Prince Teng's Mansion to report in advance and prepare in advance.dd
