Just as the sunlight shone in from the window, Fang Ling's delicate white jade-like face was filled with beautiful light, which made Zhang Ning look like the halo of a celebrity descendant.
She said in surprise: How did Mr. Ping'an guess?
Loyal and kind for generations, so famous... Zhang Ning blurted out, and just said half of the sentence, his expression suddenly changed drastically, remembering that the times were wrong. Emperor Yongle had not died at this time, so where did the loyal and kind for generations come from?
Sure enough, the ancients said a lot of good words and mistakes. The blame is that Fang Xiaoru was a famous loyal minister in modern times. In Zhang Ning's thinking, this matter is common sense. Do people still need to think about it when talking about common sense?
Fang Ling's eyes lit up: Did you just say that my father was a loyal and kind person for all ages?
Zhang Ning stood there, his face pale.
Fang Ling asked again: Mr. Ping'an was scared when he said this?
What am I afraid of...?
Zhang Ningqiang calmed down and then whispered, "But my parents died early, and there was still a girl relying on me, do you understand... Fang Ling hurriedly pressed his lips with his fingertips: Stop talking, I understand... It would be great if my father could understand."
Zhang Ning remained silent and understood: Fang Xiaoru wanted to be a loyal minister of Emperor Jianwen, and the price he paid was indeed quite high.
At this time, Fang Ling said softly in his ear: Just because my father refused to surrender, Zhu Di's rebel destroyed our ten clans, and the dead were 873, with blood debts.My mother was the concubine of my father. When the family was broken, she fled to the village to hide in her husband and was found three years later.Zhu Di ordered his mother to be sent to the army to be a prostitute, and more than 20 men were traitors every day, and they could not bear the torture to death. The imperial edict was carried out to the door and ate the dog.I admire this.’…I was sent to the Jiaofangsi when I was only three years old. ‘If I don’t get grown up, I’m a traitor’…
After hearing what Fang Ling said, he knew that this woman was unlikely to say his words, and hurriedly said to her wish: Your affairs are really regretful and sympathetic.
She frowned and fell silent, as if recalling her painful and humiliating experience. After a while, she continued in a low voice: You were wrongly accused of being removed from fame, ultimately because of the cruelty and suspicion of the current emperor Zhu Di.The prince was obese and did not like Zhu Di, but he was the eldest son and gave birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, which was loved by the emperor, so he could sit in the position for so many years. However, the prince was not trusted by the emperor, and he had the King of Han and Zhao who wanted to have power and slandered him for a long time, so his name was actually like walking on thin ice.Your matter involves Lu Zhen, the Minister of Rites, and is probably closely related to it.
Not long ago, the prince did not blame Lu Zhen for being the Minister of Rites.Someone secretly reported to the emperor that at this time, the emperor was angry and imprisoned Lu Shilang in the imperial prison. After a few days, he was released from his post and restored to his post. Then Lu Shilang was ordered to be the chief examiner of the provincial examination in Nanjing, and then he had a cheating case. Isn’t it very strange?Mr. Ping'an was unfortunately involved and turned into an innocent pawn.
Are these...real?Zhang Ning asked her seriously with wide eyes.
Fang Ling didn't answer, but just looked at him coldly.
Zhang Ning fell silent and sat motionless in front of the window.
His fingers gently and unconsciously knocked on the coffee table, and the subtle movements exposed his inner tension.
After being silent for a while, he suddenly stood up and said: I have to leave immediately. Thank you for telling me about this, there will be a period of time later.
Mr. Ping An!
Fang Ling looked at him in confusion and shouted, then stood up.
He did not stop. The moment he passed by her, he turned his head and whispered quickly in Fang Ling's ear: You are not suitable for being in a brothel... Today's emperor cannot really live forever.
Fang Ling recited this sentence silently in his heart. When he looked up, his background quickly disappeared behind the screen and walked very quickly.
She looked at the screen for a while, then hurried to the window and leaned over to look at the dock by the river.
At this time, the sun was setting west, and dusk was approaching, and the setting sun shone on the water surface, reflecting a bright light.
……
When it was dark, Fang Ling received a generous guest.
The guest saluted in a regular manner after entering the house and said in a deep voice: The cabinet sent me to Nanjing for business, and at the same time, Lord Zuo Yude Yang Shiqi also asked me to do something. He only arrived next night.I thought I would take the time to see you, but I couldn’t see anyone, so I had to come back now... Is everything okay?
Fang Ling said: It’s not like that. No one is thinking about harming me now. Lord Yu doesn’t have to worry.I didn't know you were here before, there were guests in the room at night.He wrote good words, right there... he is very good.
The guest walked to the desk and took a look: The word is a good word.
Then I read it all over the life if it was just like the first meeting, and then pondered for a moment and said: I have spiritual energy, but unfortunately I have no momentum and mind. I am entangled in the love between children, which is a little bit of a path.
Fang Ling argued: It is not uncommon to express his thoughts through his daughter's story. This poem can also be used to describe old friends, friends, and confidants.
That's true.The guest didn't argue.
Fang Ling said again: If he was involved in the cheating case, he must have been wronged.It’s a pity that such a wise man has suffered the unjust injustice. What can you do to restore his fame?
The guest asked: Are you involved in cheating cases in the imperial examination?Are you talking about Zhang Ning, a scholar in Shangyuan County?
Lord Yu has also heard of him?Fang Ling said.
It’s not just that I heard that this time I was secretly given by Lord Yang in person, and doing it for the sake of doing it was an excuse, but in fact it was for him!
Fang Ling said in surprise: Zhang Ping'an is so famous that even the attendant Zuo Yude Yang knows that he is so good at it. He also sent you to Nanjing to rescue him?
The guest said in a deep voice: If that happened, Zhang Ping'an was just one of the countless scholars in Nanjing. That's all, why did he be interested in Lord Yang?This time, it was mainly for Mr. Lu.Before, Shilang Lu was sentenced to imperial prison for court etiquette. Although he was finally released, the emperor and King Zhao of Han suspected that he had surrendered to the crown prince, and at least he was sure that the crown prince was trying to win him over.This time, another cheating case in the imperial examination was added to the fire. There was no need to strictly prove it. Just make a statement that Lord Lu confirmed the crime of corrupt officials. I was afraid that the emperor would later hear gossip about Lord Lu and kill him in anger. Wouldn't the country lose a loyal and good minister because of this?
When Lord Yang learned that a fraud case occurred in Nanjing, I happened to have a business trip south at that time, so he dictated me to investigate the matter secretly and must find the real evidence.Unexpectedly, before I arrived in Nanjing, I heard about Zhang Ping'an, and this person was in danger.Don’t think about how to restore his mere fame and fortune, and save his life.
Fang Ling said nervously: Two days ago, I also heard that he was carried home from prison and was rumored to die, but he should be fine now. Today, he is here to send Yunjin patterns.The government has gone through the Cultural Revolution to eliminate fame and fortune without any punishment. Do they want to...
Miss Fang, what do you think?
The guest frowned and said, "If the government does things, we must be open and upright, and the Ming Dynasty's justice and punishment?"Before, Zhang Ning had a concealment on his confession. If he was far-fetched, he could be punished by Ming Zhengzhu. Why was he released?First, the sentence of the decree is suspected of silence, and second, the death penalty needs to be reviewed by the court, which has many twists and turns.Therefore, they made Zhang Ning half-dead, and they just wanted to die after he went back. The scholar died of illness after being weak and uncomfortable in prison. It was also reasonable. He would have been cured in a few days... I didn't understand this matter, and they shouldn't have made such mistakes.No matter what, if the negligence has been made, others will definitely try to make up for it, and it is not too difficult to make up for it.
Fang Ling said thoughtfully: No wonder Zhang Ping'an ran away immediately after hearing that I had been implicated in this case.He also foreseeed the danger?
I'm afraid that's the case.
The guest looked at the words on the desk again. This person should not be a nerd who only knows how to read the books of sages, but is still a material that can be created.Those who can truly pass the Jinshi are not just studying hard.
Fang Ling said restlessly: Ping An is so dangerous, so lord quickly find a way to remind him.
I thought so before.
The guest pondered, but when you heard about his reaction before, I don’t think there is anything extra to do for the time being... The city gate is closed tonight and I can’t leave the city.If our people come into contact with him too early, they will easily be exposed. We will try to contact him early tomorrow morning, gain his trust as soon as possible and then take him out of the city.
She said in surprise: How did Mr. Ping'an guess?
Loyal and kind for generations, so famous... Zhang Ning blurted out, and just said half of the sentence, his expression suddenly changed drastically, remembering that the times were wrong. Emperor Yongle had not died at this time, so where did the loyal and kind for generations come from?
