Chapter 768: Saving Lives (2-in-1)
After returning from the edict to his home in Dongzhimen, Lin Yanchao was sick. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sickness comes like a mountain.
The family thought that Lin Yanchao was suffering from the cold in the edict prison, and later asked a doctor to see a doctor. After the doctor prescribed a few patches of medicine, Zhanming immediately went to grab the medicine, and after Lin Yanchao took it, he rested on the bed.
Lin Qianqian personally served Lin Yanchao with a decoction.
The fever made Lin Yanchao a little groggy, he lay on the bed, knowing that his illness had accumulated in the edict prison, and he had been overthinking for several months, and he couldn't let go of Guo Zhengyu's affairs.
In the next generation, it is also a few days of hanging bottles, lying in bed and resting, but it is a trivial matter. But in ancient times, when the level of medical care was low, it was not a small disease.
This illness reminded Lin Yanchao of the cold illness before his township exam. Although Lin Yanchao was sick that time, he was admitted to the Jieyuan.
But this time it was more serious than the last time. This made Lin Yanchao suddenly feel the impermanence of life, in ancient times when the average life expectancy was more than 30 years old, any disease was not a trivial matter.
In the face of the limit, no ambition or ambition is worth mentioning, and the emperor and general are the same as ordinary people.
And Guo Zhengyu is not like this, this time he was severely tortured by Yin of Shuntian Mansion and both legs were broken. If it is heavier, it will not die because of itself, and even if you pick up a life now, you may have disability.
Guo Zhengyu is Lin Yanchao's protΓ©gΓ©. When Tang Xianzu was arranged and Lu Wanjia left, Guo Zhengyu insisted on staying, Lin Yanchao knew that this move was inappropriate, but he acquiesced.
When Guo Zhengyu published the world in the Yenjing Times, Lin Yanchao knew that Guo Zhengyu would be in danger after publishing this article.
In terms of Lin Yanchao's prudence, he could probably guess the consequences, but in his heart at that time, he was only focused on the matter of admonishment, but he deliberately ignored Guo Zhengyu's safety.
And later, how did Guo Zhengyu repay himself? When he was in Shuntian Yamen, Fu Yin asked him to frame himself, but Guo Zhengyu refused to admit it, but instead generously stated, defended Lin Yanchao, and angrily reprimanded Fu Yin, as a result, he was not only deprived of his fame, but also severely punished.
If it weren't for Guo Zhengyu's iron bones, how could he have made trouble about the scholars angrily smashing the Yamen of Shuntianfu? Since then, the public opinion of the folk Shilin has also supported Lin Yanchao on the one hand.
So when Lin Yanchao thought of Guo Zhengyu, his heart tingled.
In addition to Guo Zhengyu, there are also those disciples who have been deprived of their fame.
When Zhang Siwei instructed Lin Yanchao to admonish, he rewarded him with twenty pieces of salt and the careers of the two teachers, so this time, even if Zhang Siwei did not protect Lin Yanchao in front of the Son of Heaven.
Lin Yanchao can't blame Zhang Siwei.
But what about Lin Yanchao to these disciples?
Pray for the world? Where is the righteousness, and it is necessary to go to the soup and the fire? Since ancient times, where is there anything that does not shed blood, so can these disciples who have lost their fame and almost lost their lives when their legs are broken?
It's okay to ask for this kind of truth, but you can't ask for others.
Only gold and silver, fame and fame can be rewarded. Why is it said that a husband can't be without power for a day? Because you have to be able to afford it.
Because Lin Yanchao thought about a lot of things during his illness, he slept in a daze until midnight that day.
Lin Yanchao was covered in sweat when he woke up, and the two maids served beside him, and when he saw Lin Yanchao wake up, he immediately said, "Madam, madam, the master is awake." β
The two maids saw that Lin Yanchao was sweating on his forehead, so they immediately wiped his sweat with a towel and poured hot tea for him to drink.
Lin Yanchao instructed: "Bring pen and ink." β
The two maids glanced at each other and said busily: "Master, you better take care of your body first." β
Lin Qianqian entered the room and said: "Xianggong, you are a little sweaty from this illness, why do you have to write, I don't allow it, you are lying on the bed." β
Lin Yanchao saw Lin Qianqian's resolute appearance, and knew that she was really not allowed to ask: "Wangling, is the fire there?" β
Lin Qianqian said: "Wangling, he is still detained in the Criminal Department, but Huo Bo was released yesterday. β
Hearing that Tao Wangling was in the prison of the Criminal Department, Lin Yanchao's face darkened, and then said, "Then let Huo Bo come." β
Lin Qianqian hesitated slightly, but still ordered someone to call Xu Huobo, and he brought Lin Yanchao a pillow, and instructed the maid to heat the medicine, and open a small stove in the kitchen to cook some food.
After Xu Huobo entered the house and saw Lin Yanchao, he knelt down and cried: "Teacher, there are dozens of classmates in Wangling who are still in prison. β
Lin Yanchao knew that his students were not ordinary people, such as Tao Wangling was from the Huiji Tao family, his family was a high-ranking official, and the other disciples were not ordinary in their families.
It's been two months since this happened, how could they have been locked up until now?
Lin Yanchao asked: "I'm not here for two months, but have you found someone to run for them?" β
Xu Huobo said: "All kinds of methods have been exhausted, Zhou Wang's younger brother came to Beijing and found all kinds of ways, even the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but no one dared to come forward for this matter." β
Lin Yanchao frowned and asked, "Where are they locked up now?" β
"Originally, some of them were imprisoned in the Shuntian Mansion, but now they are all imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department. Some were released one after another, but Zhou Wang's conviction was the crime of the mastermind, and it was difficult to get released, and we heard rumors that they would make this an iron case to punish them for smashing the Shuntian Mansion. β
"Among the rest of the detainees, many of them are not protΓ©gΓ©s of the teacher, and their families have tried all kinds of ways to come forward, but they are unable to do anything."
Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Whether it is my disciple or not, since he has become a disciple of mine, he cannot sit idly by. β
"Since the Criminal Department is in charge of this case at the moment, and Pan Jitao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, has always acted fairly, not to mention that the matter of hundreds of officials has been knocked on, then these scholars, he should no longer pursue them. If he dares to hold so many people, someone must put pressure on him. β
Xu Huobo was surprised: "Even Pan Shangshu dares to coerce, so where can they hope to get out of prison." β
Before Lin Yanchao could speak, at this moment, Chen Jichuan entered and said, "Master, Tao Wangling's younger brother Tao Xiaoling has come to visit." β
Lin Yanchao knew that although Tao Wangling's younger brother Tao Xiaoling was only fourteen or fifteen years old, he should not be underestimated. At a young age, he worshiped under the door of Zhou Rudeng, a great Confucian in Vietnam.
Zhou Rudeng is the current director of the Ministry of Industry, and is a disciple of Wang Yangming, and the two Tao brothers entered Beijing together. Tao Wangling worshiped under Lin Yanchao, and Tao Xiaoling studied under Zhou Rudeng.
Lin Yanchao knows that Tao Xiaoling has made great achievements in history, and he is a figure who can fight against Liu Zongzhou in Wang Xueli, Zhejiang, and he is Tao Wangling's younger brother, so he can't be seen.
After Tao Zhengling entered, he didn't salute Lin Yanchao, just stood there upright.
Xu Huobo was very unhappy when he saw it, Tao Xiaoling's brother was a disciple of Lin Yanchao, and it stands to reason that he should also treat Lin Yanchao as an elder.
But after Tao Zhengling entered, not only did he not salute, but also said aggressively: "Is Mr. Lin's illness better?" β
Lin Yanchao said: "Are you here to visit the sick, or is it for your brother's business?" β
Tao Xiaoling said: "Of course, it is for my brother, Mr. Lin was going to see him when he returned home, but he learned that Mr. Lin was sick as soon as he returned home. Therefore, I can't enter the door, and now I can see each other, and I must be healed. β
Lin Yanchao saw that Tao Xiaoling's words were full of anger, and he didn't want to say more to him.
Xu Huobo stood up and said, "Gongwang, what kind of tone are you?" Do you suspect that the teacher said that he was sick and deliberately did not see you? β
Tao Zhengling sneered: "It's not that he doesn't see it, it's that he doesn't dare to see it." My brother is now in prison because of his affairs, and he may even be removed from his reputation, how can you say that he has the face to see me? β
Lin Yanchao glanced at Tao Xiaoling and said: "I will save you for your brother's matter, if you come to accuse me of this matter, then please." β
Lin Yanchao spoke, and Xu Huobo immediately made a gesture to Tao Xiaoling to leave.
Tao Zhengling refused to leave, and immediately took a step forward and said, "How do you say to help?" The third generation of my Tao family is ranked as the seventh secretary, and many ministers in the court are old friends, but I can't save my brother to this day, and Mr. Lin, you have now been dismissed and cut down, but you are just a grass people, how can you save my brother? β
Lin Yanchao's face was as calm as Heng and said: "With this little means of verbal provocation, you don't have to get an axe in front of me." To save or not to save is in my heart, not in your words. β
Tao Xiaoling's face turned pale, he really wanted to force Lin Yanchao to come to the rescue, but he was so young, playing this little bit of caution, in the eyes of bureaucrats like Lin Yanchao, it was really clear.
Tao Zhengling was seen through his thoughts, but he still refused to give up and asked, "Can Mr. Lin really save my brother?" β
"If I say I can save it, I can save it."
Tao Xiaoling listened to Lin Yanchao's tone with unquestionable meaning, and was stunned for a moment.
Xu Huobo said angrily: "My teacher is sick, please don't disturb Gongwang, if your brother rescues himself, please tell me now!" β
Hearing Xu Huobo say this, Tao Xiaoling snorted lightly and left with his sleeves brushed up.
After Tao Xiaoling left, Lin Yanchao said to Xu Huobo: "Are you also here to beg me to save Wangling?" β
Xu Huobo said: "Teacher, the student has tried everything he can, I and my classmates were waiting for the teacher to ask about it after he was released from prison, but today the teacher was sick when he returned home, and I heard that Steward Chen said that the teacher had been cut down by the imperial court, so the student did not dare to say." β
Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Don't you dare to say anything, I called you here to save them." β
Xu Huobo said with a resolute look on his face when he heard this: "What does the teacher command, the students will not hesitate to go to the soup and fight the fire." β
Lin Yanchao smiled and said: "I don't want you to go to the soup and fight the fire, although I don't have an official status now, it is not difficult to rescue Wangling and them." β
Xu Huobo was overjoyed when he heard this, but hesitated: "But so many ministers don't dare to save it, and the teacher is not an official now, how can he do it?" β
Lin Yanchao said: "You write a few letters for me first." β
Xu Huobo immediately found pen and ink, and then said, "Teacher, please command." β
Lin Yanchao nodded, and at this time, the maid had already brought the decoction. After Lin Qianqian served Lin Yanchao and drank it, he brought a bowl of warm millet porridge.
Lin Yanchao picked up the bowl and instructed Xu Huobo to write a letter to Pan Jitao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, for himself. Lin Yanchao also knows that he has no official status now, and the weight of his words is not as good as before, so when he writes about trustees now, he uses the favors accumulated in the past.
Fortunately, Pan Jitao was in the Yellow River and had a good relationship with him, and he would pay attention to his faith.
Lin Yanchao wrote a letter to Shen Shixing again, and Shen Shixing, in the name of the second assistant, personally came forward to save these scholars.
But he is now in a place of suspicion, if he comes forward in person, isn't he guilty of using Lin Yanchao to instigate the scholars to create public opinion?
Therefore, Shen Shixing must not come forward, otherwise it will be a disservice, but Lin Yanchao knew that he was kind to Pan Jitao, so he wrote to him and asked him to come forward to help him intercede with Pan Jitao.
Then Lin Yanchao wrote a letter to Zhu Yi and asked him to ask Shen Cheng to come forward to save people on his behalf.
You must know that because Tao Wangling worships under Lin Yanchao's door. Tao Wangling is very famous in Zhejiang, and under his influence, most of Lin Yanchao's protΓ©gΓ©s are Zhejiang disciples.
Although Zhu Yi is currently the head of the Hanlin Academy, among the Zhejiang officials in the court, his influence is still not as good as Shen Yiyi, who has hugged Shen Shixing's thigh.
However, Zhu Yi and Tao Wangling are in-laws, and Lin Yanchao asked Zhu Yi to let Shen always come forward to intercede. Now Shen has always been a Japanese speaker, he can speak in front of the Son of Heaven, and he is also the leader of Zhejiang officials, so he can let Zhejiang officials go to the rescue.
For Shen Zheng, if he can save his fellow villagers this time, it will be very beneficial to his political prestige.
In addition, Shen has always been an official of Shen Shixing's department, and Shen has always looked at this, and he will also sell Lin Yanchao a little face.
Lin Yanchao dictated for half an hour, and Xu Huobo wrote three letters.
Lin Yanchao said: "It's good to send the letter tomorrow." β
Xu Huobo saw that Lin Yanchao had asked for a second assistant, the criminal department was still in charge, and the master of the Hanlin Academy came forward to rescue, and he was very sure of this, so he bowed to Lin Yanchao and said, "The disciple has thanked the teacher for Zhou Wang." β
Lin Yanchao said: "What are you talking about, Zhou Wang is my student, if I don't save him, who else can save him." This time, I'm really sorry for you, and I can't live in the right domain. β
Xu Huobo said: "Teacher, all this is done voluntarily by us. The teacher should be the champion of today, three yuan and the first, and he does not hesitate to do this, so what do we have to scruple about. β
"If our disciples don't follow the teacher, they will fail your usual teachings."
Lin Yanchao thought of Guo Zhengyu and Tao Wangling in prison, and couldn't bear it in his heart: "The teacher is an official, and it is his duty to ask for the people's lives." But you are still young, and you are not in your place. β
Xu Huobo said: "Students only remember that the teacher teaches the students, and the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband." β
Lin Yanchao saw that Xu Huobo was so resolute, and he didn't say anything anymore.
After a period of hard work, Lin Yanchao felt tired.
Seeing Lin Yanchao like this, Lin Qianqian said distressedly: "Xianggong, your complexion is even worse." β
Lin Yanchao smiled and stroked Lin Qianqian's hand and said: "It's okay, this matter can't be done, I have no intention of recuperating, even if it is already arranged, I can also let go of my worries." β
Lin Qianqian lowered his head and wept and said, "Xianggong, you are not lightly ill, I think you might as well write another letter to Shen Ge Lao." Tell him that you are sick now, and ask him to write to the Son of Heaven. Please be gracious to your majesty, and let you return to your hometown after you have taken care of your body. You are Your Majesty's daily speaker, and I will definitely agree to this request on the feelings of the old monarch and minister. β
Lin Yanchao thought for a while when he heard this: "At the moment, you must not take private matters and inform Your Majesty." β
"Extended tide!" Lin Qianqian said urgently.
Lin Yanchao said: "I have my own considerations. β
