Li Shu’s delicate jade hand pinched the ink spindle, while the movement of elegant ink research, while overseeing Zhu Pingan drink tonic soup, so that Zhu Pingan really enjoy the taste of a red sleeve, such as Zhu Pingan finished with the tonic soup, Li Shu only gently twisted the willow waist, Ying Ying left.
Zhu Pingan watched Li Shu leave, his nostrils still lingering Li Shu left behind the flavor, a faint fragrance.
The night was intoxicating.
However, now is not the time to be intoxicated, Senior Brother Yang is still at the doorstep of the ghost gate and needs to be rescued, Zhu Pingan shook his head, shook off the flirtation in his mind, withdrew his eyes from the doorway and once again focused his energy on the plea for leniency.
After organizing his thoughts from the beginning, Zhu Pingan lifted his brush and dipped it in ink, and began to write a draft of the plea for leniency:
The Yu Wang House Minister Zhu Pingan would like to present: there is a bright ruler above, and an admonishing minister below. Now there is a holy master Mingjun on the top, my dynasty speech road is wide open, so that there is today’s crazy stupid counselor Yang Jisheng. Yang Jisheng, crazy fools, its impeachment of university scholar Yan Song of the rustic, words deceive error, ten thousand deaths can not resign its responsibility, but its heart sincere no other, to the great Ming Jinji long benefit for its duty. I hope that the saint, the period of loyalty, and pity its madness, banished far away from the garrison, in order to complete the saint of the virtue of good life.
After writing the draft, Zhu Pingan stopped the brush, read it silently, and weigh the words.
After half a day of deliberation, Zhu Pingan circled and changed several places on the draft, and added a few sentences at the end.
Then he continued to deliberate.
In this way, repeated revisions several times, until outside the blur came the night watchman “Zi hours three, safe and sound” sound of the night watch, Zhu Pingan Fang formed a slightly satisfied with their own plea for mercy.
Continuing his efforts, Zhu Pingan stretched his waist, and with renewed vigor, he transcribed the draft of the plea onto the official zhengben. Then, put the official report carefully in the inner pocket of the sleeve of the official uniform to be worn tomorrow.
Zhu Pingan is ready to make a meeting at the Yu Wang House tomorrow, and then submit the plea for leniency to the Office of the General Secretary.
After everything was prepared, Zhu Ping An left the study and went to the bedroom to sleep.
“Brother Zhu, you finally finished ah, later can not stay up so late, it is not good for the body …….”
After Zhu Pingan walked into the bedroom, the sleepy Li Shu, with a grudging face looked at Zhu Pingan, beaming her little mouth and ranting.
“Why are you still awake, go to bed earlier in the future, don’t wait for me.”
Seeing Li Shu’s dark circles under her eyes, Zhu Pingan knew that she had been waiting for herself, and could not help but feel heartbroken.
“I’m not waiting for you, I just can’t sleep ……”Li Shu’s mouth was stiff and she didn’t admit it, her arrogant little look was adorable.
Zhu Pingan smiled slightly.
Li Shu’s pretty face became more and more red.
The night is in the middle of the night, the bright moon outside the window, the night curtain is blue, dotted around with a lovely star, blinking and twinkling with golden arcs of light, like a weaver weaving a golden thread of love towards the earth.
The night was deep and quiet, a good night’s sleep.
Early the next morning, Zhu Pingan after breakfast, accompanied by Liu Dazhou rode to the Yu Wang House to answer the dawn.
Yu Wang House is still talking about yesterday’s trial, for yesterday’s trial, the people have a feeling of relief in their hearts.
Yesterday, although there is a strict party such as the Ministry of Justice Minister Wang Xueyi and others, forced to ask Yang Jisheng behind the mastermind, intending to pull down the Yu Wang House, but Yang Jisheng dead not to admit to be instructed, so that Wang Xueyi and others did not succeed in the conspiracy.
Although not completely relaxed, but at least can breathe a sigh of relief, the situation is much better than the day before yesterday.
Zhu Pingan was prepared to enter the Yu Wang House, the hands of the important things to deal with the completion of the Yu Wang sued a short leave, to the Office of the Secretary to submit a plea for leniency, I did not expect to enter the Yu Wang House was trifling tripped hands and feet, has been to the first half of the morning to be able to get out of the way, and so on to the Yu Wang sued for leave, have been almost to eleven o’clock.
Time is running out, Zhu Pingan put in the zhangshi rush out of the Yu Wang House, straight to the Office of the General Secretary and go.
In order to catch up, Zhu Pingan also took a shortcut in the middle, through the square to the noon gate, across the noon gate to the Office of the General Secretary.
Not to the noon gate, Zhu Pingan far from seeing the noon gate surprisingly a lot of people, but also heard a noisy shouting and hollering of pain, a woeful, close to realize that the original is the noon gate there are three officials in the cane was beaten.
What happened?
How three officials at the same time was beaten cane? This is how long I have not seen a collective caning.
Zhu Pingan surprised, went forward to ask, and then learned that the three officials are morning to Yang Jisheng pleading.
“His Majesty’s oracle: who dares to intercede for Yang Jisheng in the future, selling fame and reputation, talking too much, will be severely punished. All of you adults, be good to yourselves. Anyone who wants to plead for Yang Jisheng again, these three adults are the example, no, these three adults are considered lucky, the first offender, just get a caning, if someone else commits another offense, that is knowingly committed, the consequences do not need to miscellaneous say it, all the adults are weighing it.”
In the process of beating the cane, a white-faced beardless eunuch walked to the crowd of onlookers in front of the face expressionless oracle, after reading the oracle of Emperor Jiajing, the eunuch and deliberately said a few more words to warn the crowd.
Jiajing emperor’s oracle, the adults present are a shock, originally there is the idea of pleading for Yang Jisheng, but listening to Jiajing emperor’s oracle and the eunuch’s warning, that idea is also instantly extinguished.
Jiajing emperor this oracle is not just a joke.
Since the Jiajing emperor ascended the throne, similar oracle left many times, each time is the word is true, but where there is a violation of the minister, regardless of the official position, will be heavily punished. Light is relegated to the court cane, heavy is likely to lose their lives.
Dead Taoist friends do not die poor.
Throughout history, it is a universal truth.
Therefore, after listening to Emperor Jiajing’s message and the eunuch’s warning, the ministers all made a “wise” choice. Originally, there were a few ministers in the crowd who were ready to go to the General Affairs Department to submit a plea for mercy, but at this moment, they had already quietly torn the plea in their sleeves in half, and then reversed their direction to go back home.
The only exception was Zhu Pingan.
Standing in the crowd of Zhu Pingan, as if suddenly deaf, as if he did not hear the oracle of the Jiajing Emperor and the eunuch’s warning, this side of the eunuch read out the oracle of the Jiajing Emperor and warned the onlookers of the ministers, the next second Zhu Pingan in the crowd has lifted his feet and continued to move forward to the Department of the General Administration.
Zhu Pingan’s understanding of the Jiajing Emperor, according to the Jiajing Emperor’s temperament, after his own plea for leniency, it is estimated that he will not be able to avoid getting a caning.
However, if you get a caning, can change the life of Mr. Yang, or very cost-effective.
A caning and a life, which is more important, self-evident.
In addition, he again on some filial piety, this meal cane can also be discounted some more, I think ten days and half a month will be good, very cost-effective.
