The rise of the poor

Chapter 1069 Although the minister is stupid, he dare not obey the edict ([-])

"Your Majesty was furious when he saw my memorial." The stubborn old man stroked his beard and sighed.

Nonsense, if you are so careless, it is no wonder that the Holy One is not furious. It has been many years since no one dared to criticize or deny cultivation in front of the Holy One.If you are like this, you have a big fate, and if you have a small life, you will have been executed long ago.

Zhu Pingan really didn't know what to say...

Zhu Pingan spent the next two days in prison.On the grounds that the case is serious and the matter is confidential, the imperial edict prohibits anyone from coming to visit, but fortunately, with Mr. Yang as a neighbor, he is not alone.

Zhu Ping'an and Yang Lao are already familiar with each other. They drew a chessboard across the fence, and used grass, small mud, and gravel as chess pieces to play chess; or to discuss the Four Books and Five Classics. In two days, Zhu Pingan learned a lot from Mr. Yang.

The spiritual aspect is rich, but the material aspect is lacklustre.

Although it is summer now, the cell is located underground, damp and cold. Zhu Ping'an is alright. The young man is very angry and can bear it. Old Yang is hard to endure, even though Zhu Pingan was carried away by Old Yang from his cell. There is a lot of hay, but at night, Mr. Yang is still having a hard time, especially when his old cold legs are attacking, and the days are like years.

As for food, it would be good if three meals a day could be provided on time in the imperial prison, so don't worry about the color, smell and so on.

On the first day, Zhu Ping'an was not used to it. He found it difficult to swallow the rancid porridge and moldy steamed buns provided by the prison. But on the second day, although Zhu Ping'an couldn't eat with relish, there was not a single grain of rice left. .

At noon on the third day, when Zhu Pingan and Yang Lao were playing chess, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor of the cell.

"Someone is here? Not a lot?"

After Zhu Pingan heard this series of footsteps, he looked up curiously, and saw a group of more than 20 people walking in the aisle, including guards in brocade clothes and eunuchs, all dressed gorgeously, and they looked not young.

Elder Yang also put down the stone pawn in his hand at this time, and looked up at the group of people who were coming.

Who is it for?
Zhu Pingan looked at himself, then at Elder Yang, not knowing who this group of people was after.

You have to find your own, right?
I have been in prison for three days, and I have never been interrogated or tried, as if I have been forgotten.

Did you finally think of yourself? !

Zhu Ping got up, stretched his arms and legs, and got [-]% energetic, ready to welcome the visitor.

Soon, a group of people in the aisle came to the cell and stopped.The first one was an eunuch wearing a high crown, wearing a big red python robe, and a phoenix patch, holding Buddha dust in his hand, with a vicious look on his face.Zhu Pingan didn't know this person, but he did know the person who accompanied the eunuch. He was Jin Yiwei's fellow acquaintance, Tuo Hai, who was one of the presiding judges when he made a statement with Zhao Daying's punishment department last time.

Zhu Ping'an's preparations were all done, but he didn't expect that the group would stop when they reached Mrs. Yang next door.

"Old man Yang, His Majesty sent a miscellaneous family to visit you."

The eunuch in the red python robe stopped in front of Yang Zui's cell, as if he couldn't bear the rotten smell of the prison, he took out an embroidered handkerchief and covered his nose, pinched an orchid with the other hand and pointed at Yang Zui, shouting in a high-pitched voice.

"Chen Yang, thank you most, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

Yang Zui got up from the ground, patted the weeds on the prison uniform, and knelt down in the direction of Xiyuan to salute.

After the ceremony, Yang Zui stood up, straightened his waist, raised his chin, and looked at the eunuch in the red python robe and Tuohai, the fellow acquaintance of Jin Yiwei.

This old thing!
The eunuch in the big red python robe frowned, dissatisfied with Yang Zui's attitude, and said in a sharp voice, "Old man Yang, the Holy Majesty gave you a chance because of your old age, and the Holy Majesty asked you, do you know that you made a mistake? ! If you write a confession memorial, the Holy Majesty will forgive you this time for the sake of your devotion to Daming for most of your life."

Zhu Pingan heard clearly from the sidelines that Emperor Jiajing wanted Mr. Yang to admit his mistake and write another letter of self-criticism, so that Mr. Yang could be released.

This is fine.

Mr. Yang is getting old, and he has been tossed miserably by the coldness of the prison these days. It would be great to be able to go out. Zhu Ping'an is sincerely moved and happy for Mr. Yang.

but
Zhu Ping'an became worried again. According to Yang's temper, it was too difficult for him to let him make a mistake and write another review.
really
Zhu Pingan looked up at Old Yang, just in time to see Old Yang scoffing at the eunuch in the big red python robe.

"This old man is very grateful to His Majesty for his love and protection, but this old man is stupid, and I really don't know what's wrong with me."

Old man Yang raised his chin, snorted, and refused to admit his mistake.

"You!!! You old, old man who doesn't know good and evil!!!" The eunuch in the big red python robe was so angry that he almost scolded the old thing. , "You are an old man who raises horses and manages horse administration. It's not good to tinker with your horse administration. At your age, after a year or so, you can retire and return home. At any rate, you will be a third-rank Beijing official. Going home is not only honoring your ancestors, this is the blessing that you cultivated from the graves of your Yang family ancestors. You are so lucky that you dare to point fingers at the Holy Majesty. Now the world is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment. What's wrong with taking time to cultivate immortality and alchemy? It's not about letting go. You have to point fingers. Now, the Holy One doesn't remember the villain's mistakes. For the sake of your old age, he specially gave you a chance. You actually So ignorant of good and bad!!!”

"Cultivating immortals and refining alchemy is done by those who live in the mountains and bathe. How can there be someone who lives in a yellow house and a purple door, with clothes and food, but who can do it in the daytime? And now that the northern captives and the southern Japanese are suffering from floods and droughts, how can they speak for the world? Taiping?! If the sage abandons cultivation and concentrates on state affairs, we will be very lucky for our great Ming country, and our great Ming people will be very lucky."

Yang Zui blew his beard and stared, stretched out his hand to grab the fence, the veins on the back of his hand were exposed, and his aura was even better than that of the eunuch in the scarlet boa robe.

Immortal cultivation and alchemy are done by people who live in seclusion in the mountains. How can there be people who live in luxurious palaces, wear gorgeous clothes, and eat exquisite food, but can fly to the sky during the day? And now, the northern Tatars and The Japanese pirates in the south continue to cause disasters, floods and droughts continue, how can it be called peace in the world.If the Holy Majesty can give up cultivating immortals and alchemy and concentrate on government affairs, I, Ming Dynasty, will be even more fortunate.

Yang Zui was confrontational in person, without mercy.

"You! Old man Yang, I'll give you one more chance. The sage said, if you know your mistakes and you can correct them, then there is nothing good about you. You have to think about it carefully." The eunuch in red python pinched his orchid finger and pointed at Yang Zui with a gloomy expression. With dark clouds on his face, he gritted his teeth and said.

"Although the minister is stupid, he dare not obey the imperial edict."

Yang raised his chin without hesitation and replied.
