"The people of Dongchang have arrested more than a dozen officials of the Dao Dynasty, and there are more people arrested in the Jiuqing Yamen, and if you calculate it carefully, in one afternoon, almost more than 30 courtiers have been taken to prison without guilt, and the hands and feet of these eagle dogs are very neat. All the people who were taken had been impeached by those nobles who supported the Son of Heaven, and when Liu Jin was in power, he was not so domineering, these nobles seemed to have the support of some people and wanted to make waves. ”

Yang Tinghe was in the study, his eyes were slightly closed, and the expression on his face was neither happy nor angry, as if everything that happened was within his control. "I don't let our people do it, because that's why, those so-called credentials are probably thrown out by the factory guards to lure people into the bait. This time, these colleagues are afraid that they will have to suffer some hardships. ”

Li Yue's purpose in submitting the list was also to ask Yang Tinghe for help, hoping that this first assistant could come forward and bail out these people who were brought to the edict prison. Tan Fanghe also said: "Teacher, these people are just fulfilling their duties, and they have not done anything wrong, and the students feel that the teacher should save some people as much as possible, after all, they are all loyal and good, and it should always be better to keep them." ”

"Fanghe, I told you, those who are officials must have compassion, otherwise, the people will suffer. However, we should not lose our determination with compassion, and if we only know the kindness of a woman and do not have the determination to kill, then we will also achieve nothing. There may be nothing wrong with these people who have been taken, but there is nothing wrong with them, it does not mean that we owe them, and we must be responsible for their safety. Everyone should pay the price for their actions, and from the moment they went to the capital, they should have foreseen that there might be this end. Let us save people now, in the future, no matter what trouble they cause, we will be responsible for the aftermath? ”

After being reprimanded by his teacher, Tan Fanghe didn't dare to answer, listening to his teacher's next arrangement, with his understanding of his teacher, the other party is definitely not a ruthless person, no matter what he says, he will actually do what he should do.

"Li Qianfu is their general constitution, and the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate is his territory, these officials who have been taken should be him to find a way, he is good, and he has thrown the problem directly to us, this attitude is unacceptable. Besides, let me ask you, how do you think Liu Jin collapsed in the first place? ”

talked about releasing the crane for a while, and then said: "There are too many enemies. ”

"That's right, he just made too many enemies, and he really thought that he could defeat everyone by relying on his own strength, and in the end, he ended up with a dead end. Buddhists talk about cause and effect, and we Confucians don't talk about these strange things about God, but only talk about some very simple truths. A person does evil and oppresses his neighbors, and there is nothing he can do with him, there is no yamen in the countryside, and there is no one to uphold justice. Today he took a bundle of grass, tomorrow he took a chicken, and in the end they could only admit it. But he was not willing to be taken something, he had a breath in his heart. This breath is accumulating more and more, and in the end, he may have to pick up the knife and fight this villain. ”

"What if this bully is bullying people in the village at will? In the whole village, there may be a number of such people who are bullied by him, and when the savings reach a certain level, all the bullied people will stand up and fight with him to the end. We officials, the so-called shepherding and guarding the Quartet, in fact, to put it bluntly, is to channel the resentment in the hearts of the people, so that they do not hate the court and the emperor, so that the world can be peaceful. Now, the emperor and Yang Chengzu, they are accumulating resentment, if we rescue people now, we will indeed be happy, but everything is as if it never happened. Those nobles will still be arrogant, and these officials will be unhappy, but after a while, they will be afraid, feeling that their behavior is too reckless, and if no one saves them, they may not be able to get out. The courage and bloodiness that we once had will gradually disappear, and people will become more and more sleek, and the final outcome is that the people we rescued will become useless wastes. This ending, I don't think, is what we want. ”

"What do you mean?"

"There must be some sacrifices in order to arouse the blood of the majority of people, and make everyone realize that the factory guard eagle dog is the enemy of Shilin Qingliu and is not with them. This point can not be compromised because Yang Ji has anyone's background or whose handle the factory guard has. As long as everyone stands together, we don't have to be afraid of these eagles and dogs anymore. As for these people, you ask people to take care of their families, don't let their families have problems, and as for themselves, let them calm down in the cell first, and figure out what they are wrong this time. In order to maintain the Tao, I can let my son be this pathfinder, why can other people get preferential treatment? ”

These people were nominally taken to Dongchang to assist in the investigation, and it was impossible for their families to be imprisoned, so as long as they talked about the identity of the crane, as long as they took care of them for a word or two, no one dared to provoke the families of these people. For these people who were taken, Yang Tinghe didn't really give up, but in terms of the time of intervention, it would not be as fast as Li Yue thought, and he would always let these officials suffer some hardships and then save people.

Tan Fanghe can be the master, his brain is not too stupid, he has already noticed that in the master's strategy, the meaning of the existence of these chess pieces is not simply to make everyone take the factory guard as a revenge, there may be some deeper things behind it. Once these things are carefully examined, I am afraid that they will cross the line, even within the scope of their control. Therefore, after a very short period of thought, he chose to pretend to be stupid, and only nodded: "Don't worry, the teacher has his own plans." ”

In fact, even if he doesn't speak, no one will really move these criminals, the master guards the Son of Heaven, and no one dares to do anything too excessive. This place in Xicheng is an official residential area, and the security is the best place, and there will be no disturbances. But those little ones are not at ease in their hearts, some people go to cry outside the Metropolitan Procuratorate and ask the Procuratorate to take action, and some sell their only property and go to Dongchang to fight a lawsuit, or go to the Imperial Prison to visit the prison.

Two horses, surrounded by dozens of guards, passed by the yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, looking at a large number of women and children guarding the outside of the yamen wailing and crying, Yang Chengzu, who was riding on the horse, glanced at the ninth sister beside him, "Madam, this time I feel happy." ”

"Well, it's pretty much the same, you actually dare to sue my father, it's so tired, Xianggong, you did a good job this time. Let's go, go to the house, and talk to my father face to face. ”

When they came to the Marquis of Wuding's mansion, Dingguo Gong and several other nobles were also here, they all supported the Son of Heaven this time, and now they can't retreat if they want to. Seeing Yang Chengzu coming, several people all gathered around to ask about the situation, and inquired about how far this conflict would go.

Yang Chengzu smiled and saluted everyone, and after entering the study, he smiled and said: "Rank, after arresting so many officials, isn't the meaning of the Son of Heaven obvious?" Those who stand on the side of Banzai can be prosperous and rich, and those who are on the other side will have to go to prison, which is the fairest. Banzai is very satisfied with your performance, as long as you persevere, in the future, it will be good, and Banzai will not treat any loyal ministers badly. ”
