The cloudy and gray sky is not sure whether it is the weather affecting Zhang Ning's mood or the dark mood affecting his vision of looking at things.
In winter, the color of Beijing is very monotonous, and the plants wither and wither. Except for the dim colors of gray and brown in the residential areas of the Imperial City, even people are not as fond of colors as those in Nanjing.
However, the bleakness of autumn and winter is only the north feeling more obvious.
Zhang Ning was in a low mood when he returned home and talked very little.Wang Zhen met him several times and looked like he wanted to speak but stopped. He seemed to have something to say, and Zhang Ning was too lazy to ask him.
The supper was made by Old Man He, and he fried a very unpalatable vegetarian dish with the leftovers from yesterday.The host and the guest had a meal silently, and then Wang Zhen said: Brother Ping'an, can you lend me some money?
How much do you want?Zhang Ning asked immediately, thinking that if he had other plans, he would get out of here after borrowing the money, so he couldn't help but ask again, What is Brother Wang's use for?
Zhang Ning admitted that he was a more secular person and could not dare to love and hate. Those who were bored could still call him Brother Wang, but he could only silently say that he wanted to love.
How many people can achieve true nature in life?
Wuliang... Wang Zhen lowered his head and said, Zhang Ning understood the feeling of borrowing money from others.But this guy was able to speak, and he would ask for two months of salary when he spoke.
Wang Zhen paused and said: Let me tell you the truth. I had already thought about it when I was at home and wanted to go to the palace to make some food.According to the law of the court to choose eunuchs, I was already over the age and had to have a few brothers, so I couldn't take this path; but now I have the only way to find someone to take the knife.
After hearing this, Zhang Ning was stunned: Is this Wang Zhen really going to be a eunuch?!Could it be that he would become the famous eunuch in history?
A few days ago, I was reading the "Law of the Ming Dynasty". Doesn't the law prohibit the people from castrating themselves?Zhang Ning asked.
Wang Zhen said: This is the law, but it is just written on paper. No one cares about it, but it may not be selected into the palace.
Zhang Ning advised: Brother Wang has fame and fortune, a family and a family, should he think about it again? There is no way out?
Wang Zhen shook his head and said coldly: I have a self-knowledge of talent and learning. Now that I have more than thirty years old, I have a student who is in his fame and fortune. I can't even pass the imperial examination. I don't expect to be a juren, and I've been involved in a lawsuit. Besides, I've kept that thing just to pass on the family line and play with women. I've long been indifferent. How meaningful is that just a few things?
It's really just that, but it's not completely boring. It's true that neighbors rumor that he was a god-eunuch and didn't wrong him?If you are really a god-evil, it would not be a loss to cut off your future.
Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral system of eunuchs and harems were not allowed to interfere in politics, but since Emperor Yongle, the eunuchs and the cabinet have gradually participated in decision-making, and the system has developed into a pattern of separation of powers: monarchy power, mutual persuasion, and eunuch power.
Interdependence and checks and balances.
Judging from the way out of the masses, don’t think about the power of the monarch. Unless the rebellion is successful, the national dynasty is extremely difficult in the early and mid-term period, which almost violates the laws of history. It is not easy to persuade even ordinary civil officials. After studying hard for decades, how many people can get a juren of Jinshi, and not many officials will become officials afterwards, unless they are Jinshi, they are even rarer. Although the power of officials is also not easy, not even all eunuchs in the country can have the power of tens of thousands of eunuchs, but in comparison, the threshold for the power of eunuchs is very low. There is a chance to cut them off. It is easier than to survive for decades?
In fact, the Chinese people are very utilitarian, they are proud of their ancestors, have power and power, and most people pursue it.
As a fellow villager, I just advise you. If Brother Wang has made a decision, of course I can lend you the money.
Zhang Ning didn't want to cry in front of him that he was only 2000 taels per month, and had to pay rent just now. The Ministry of Personnel had given him a 50 taels of money deposit. He had five taels of money, so he said happily, the money bank is closed now, and Brother Wang will go out with me tomorrow morning and will take it out for you.
Unexpectedly, Wang Zhen agreed and looked a little impatient: Silver bills are OK.
Zhang Ning thought to himself: The silver notes I deposited are ten taels of denomination Ah. Didn’t you borrow five taels? If you have money, please come to me for zero?He pondered for a moment and said: That's OK, I'll go get the silver notes.
When Zhang Ning got a silver note of ten taels and said: This is the silver note from the ten taels of money house. Brother Wang bought some nourishing things... I just happened to have only ten taels of silver note.
He deliberately added the next sentence, thinking that Wang Zhen is also a student and always understands the rules and regulations of his work.
Unexpectedly, Wang Zhentian was shameless and even more unconscientious about the so-called brother's difficulties. He responded with shamelessness: Forget the supplement, I am afraid that I won't be able to enter the palace in the future. It's always right to be a little prepared.Brother Ping'an is generous in helping me, and I will never forget it.
Forget it, I'll give you five taels of silver. I just want him to get out of the house as soon as possible. Zhang Ning really doesn't like to interact with people like Wang Zhen.
……
The difficulty of escaping alone depends on how much manpower and material resources the pursuer invests. A person who sets fire like Wang Zhen seems serious, but it is really nothing. Wang Zhen fled to the capital and has the intention to find a way out. If he killed someone, he would probably not be so calm. There are also more serious cases than killing people, just like the case that Zhang Ning might have involved, it would be difficult to escape.
So he didn't plan to escape from the beginning, and the next day he still went to the office of the Jinyiwei Yamen as usual to pay.
Hu Butang also soon came to the Jinyiwei Yamen to meet Wang Qinian and Zhang Ning, and said straight to the point: The key figure in this case is the palace maid Zhou, the person involved. We must first find out her identity before further arrangements. The identity she registered when she entered the palace must be fake, and her surname and name were also fake.How can a person who has no hometown, name, or acquaintances to find out where she comes from?
Wang Qinian replied seriously: Unless she said it herself... Zhou spoke yesterday, can he tell his hometown from his accent?
Hu Ying pondered: The accent is very correct, and it is impossible to check it. Even if you guess she is from Jianghuai, where can you check it?
Zhang Ning stood there without saying anything. He was the lowest grade, and he seemed polite if he didn't speak.
At this time, Hu Ying said again: Last night, I thought about it and said that her words "killing innocent people indiscriminately" are very meaningful.We can boldly speculate before verifying this: the close relative of this woman was convicted and died, and it was not a case of murder and paying for her life. For example, she was a resigned minister of Jianwen. As for Zhou, the emperor was determined to avenge her parents; otherwise, why did she come to assassinate the father of the Ming Dynasty regardless of life or death or loyalty or filial piety at a young age?Of course, this is a guess that cannot be used as a basis. What we need to do now is to try to verify.
Wang Qinian nodded and said: What Hu Butang said is very true. Now he has no idea. He may find a hole by starting from this aspect.
Hu Ying sighed slightly: I can only try it. I don’t want to order to torture her for the time being. If I die accidentally, I will have to take the blame.You can only try to use torture when there is no way.Now the direction of the case is not clear yet, and there are many things, so it is better not to be late. Today, you two will do this: check the file.
The fat and fat Wang Qinian was not slow at all, so he immediately said: Generally, the case files that were sentenced to death must be reviewed by Dali Temple in the end, and almost all files can be found in Dali Temple; there is another type of case handled by the Jinyiwei of the Dongchang. If it is detained and executed, it will be passed through the imperial prison of the Beizhen Fushi, and the files can be checked in Guanbai.Let’s start with these two places. If you inform the Dali Temple’s file to assist in checking, we have no right to review the files of the Jinyiwei’s original guards, so we have to request an order first.
Hu Ying said: So, I am preparing a book on Dali Temple. Today, Donghai will bring a few clerks and a few Jinyiwei to the three judicial departments in the west of the city to supervise and review.Ping An urges the files of the Jinyiwei, and will be handled after I request the order.There are many files, and in order to narrow the scope, I listed several conditions: First, the case from the eighth year of Yongle to the March of the 20th year of Yongle; Second, those involved in the remains of Jianwen and similar cases, those who murdered and arsoned and committed crimes can be ruled out; Third, there is a woman under her knee who is probably about the same age as Zhou.
Wang Qinian and Zhang Ning both bowed to take the order. Wang Qinian said: Many remaining officials of Jianwen were killed in the beginning of Yongle, but there were not many since the eight years of Yongle. With the third conditional limit, the scope would not be too large.There is great potential for this matter.If you add Jianghuai hometown, there will be even fewer ones.
Hu Ying said: We cannot rule out foreign lands in Jianghuai for now, we can choose them as the key point.
The two of them sang together, just to point the blame to the remains of Jianwen, or to say that they were just suspicious, but there was no evidence to support them.
Zhang Ning thought: It was suspected that the remnants of Jianwen might be the emperor's mind, so Hu Butang and others were so passionate about it.
If it is confirmed that this matter was done by the remnants of Jianwen, then from another perspective it is to relieve the suspicion of the King of Han, and Zhang Ning finally understood his value in this matter.
Without real evidence, Hu Ying would not dare to frame the mysterious Emperor Jianwen, otherwise there would be suspicion of collusion with the King of Han.
Hu Ying left after giving orders to the errands, Wang Qinian rushed to do the job, Zhang Ning had to wait, and no matter how powerful the officials were, they had no right to investigate the Jinyiwei.
Zhang Ning pretended to be very busy and made a bowl of tea and roasted high-quality smokeless charcoal reading files in the office building.
It is best to do nothing now. You have to wait first to see if the Taohua Villa is related to the Qin case; after all, Hu Ying has to rely on the truth. If there is no evidence to implicate the relationship, the handle of the Taohua poem is just to worry about it, and you can do whatever you should do.
Taohua Villa is a group of private salt dealers in the known information. It may not be related to the remains of Jianwen and the Qin case. The guessing and inference cannot be regarded as facts for the time being.
Zhang Ning reminded himself: Keep calm.
In winter, the color of Beijing is very monotonous, and the plants wither and wither. Except for the dim colors of gray and brown in the residential areas of the Imperial City, even people are not as fond of colors as those in Nanjing.
However, the bleakness of autumn and winter is only the north feeling more obvious.
