Chapter 85 Mengyang is released from prison

After hosting the Shandong township test, Wang Shouren returned to Beijing to be stationed. With the sacred learning as his side, Wang Shouren no longer feels how terrible and helpless the darkness and corruption of this officialdom are.

In the past two years, I have been writing books and retreating in Yangmingdong, and I know very little about the affairs of the court. As soon as I returned to Beijing, I remembered that I had asked Li Mengyang to help investigate and restore the behind-the-scenes envoy of the Ning Wang Guard. Li Mengyang not only didn't help, but didn't even reply to the letter. Seeing him in person, Wang Shouren was about to question him. Unexpectedly, Li Mengyang's villain complained first: "Where have you died in the past two years?"

Wang Shouren immediately raised his voice and counterattacked, "Oh, you asked me! I went back to my hometown on leave to recuperate! If it's difficult for you to investigate, you can reply to it!"

Li Mengyang looked innocent: "The letter was written, and it was locked up before it was sent out!"

Wang Shouren was surprised and said, "Go to prison?"

Li Mengyang said, "Yes! You heard it right, just go to prison!"

Wang Shouren said, "I can see your new work in time far away in Shaoxing. It's really hard to think that you are in prison. What's the matter?"

Li Mengyang said, "This is not a big deal! But thanks to one person - Jinyiwei Qianhu Moubin, I continued to be my literary youth!"

Wang Shouren said, "It's getting late. Let's go to Longmen Inn to eat and talk! When I came back from Shaoxing, I went straight to Shandong to host the township examination, and I had no time to inquire about the recent situation in the court - the big and small things of the imperial court, please report to me in detail!"

Li Mengyang said, "Well! There is a lot of words!"

The two came to the Longmen Inn together. In the past two years, Su Wuniang has taken good care of the inn, which makes people can't help admiring that she is really a businessman. Most of the guests in the inn are dignitaries and rich talents, so Su Wuniang's inn has the posture of "Tianzi No. 1".

"Wu Niang!" Wang Shouren said hello first.

"Bian, good luck! What brought you two here?" Su Wu Niang said happily.

"One of us came out of the hole and the other came out of the prison. Of course, it was 'mold'! If there is anything delicious, please present it to us!" Li Mengyang took the lead.

"Listen to your tone, it's not like coming out of prison! I heard that you are living a comfortable life in prison!" Su Wuniang ridiculed. She looked at Wang Shouren and said, "Bou Anqing has lost a lot of weight! Just come back! I'm also worried that you will see through the world and become a monk!"

"Can he be a monk? Didn't you hear that he drove all the monks home? Li Mengyang said.

Wang Shouren said dissatisfiedly, "Look at you two, sing together! You can sing and pass it on to the two!"

"Alai, bring all the new dishes in the store in the past two years! Let these two open the meat!" Su Wuniang ordered the shopkeeper.

Su Wuniang personally poured tea for the two and handed it over.

Wang Shouren asked, "Xinji, tell me what happened to your prison disaster?"

Li Mengyang saw that Wang Shouren was so interested and felt that he had become a core figure for a while, so he talked about it: "Thanks to the prison of Mu Bin of Jinyiwei, he has truly achieved justice and kindness - Mou Bin is very humane to the criminals imprisoned in the 'Edict Prison', and all cases must be clear. Those who have doubts must withdraw the Ministry of Criminal Justice for retrial. It can be said that today's Jinyiwei has really played the role of promoting the country and its normal progress, rather than the changing purgatory on earth.

The cause of the matter is that Zhang Heling, the younger brother of Empress Zhang, is usually idle and does not do his job. Empress Zhang often instigated the emperor to ask for a financial farm or something, and she often went out to cause some trouble and make trouble. Anyway, Empress Zhang was on it, and Zhang Heling was somewhat fearless.

The emperor is the Ming emperor, and he has always opposed condoning the chaos of foreign relatives. As a member of the household, how can I sit idly by and ignore Zhang Songling's evil deeds? He bullied the countryside, seized farmland, made solid evidence for evil, and the evidence was chiseled. I did not hesitate to participate in his book!"

Su Wuniang's eyes widened and asked, "You are so bold. The emperor is indeed a rare Mingjun, but you also know that the harem life of Ming Xiaozong is very different from that of all feudal emperors in ancient times. He has never set up a concubine. Ming Xiaozong has only lived with Empress Zhang all his life. Wife's life. Compared with Yang Yuhuan's 'three thousand favorites', Queen Zhang really got it. Although Ming Xiaozong is strict with his ministers, after all, he only has such a marriage partner, so he still needs to be more relaxed with the people of Empress Zhang's family, and he will no longer be investigated for things that can be opened and closed! Instead, you provoked an enemy!"

Li Mengyang nodded: "I know how strong the relationship between Empress Zhang and Emperor Xiaozong is, but if Mingjun can't lead by example, wouldn't the way of kings and ministers exist? However, as soon as the memorial fell into the hands of Ming Xiaozong, Empress Zhang knew about it. Empress Zhang went to tell Zhang Songling that Zhang Songling grabbed the sentence 'Your Majesty's generous Zhang' in the memorial and slandered me for being disrespectful to Empress Zhang, and finally wanted Xiaozong to punish me to death.

Wang Shouren said, "Well, although Zhang Songling is Queen Zhang's younger brother, his words are not so important after all, so Queen Zhang has to come out at this time! In fact, Empress Zhang is not an unreasonable wife, but Zhang Songling's instigation, coupled with the fact that her family is on Zhang Songling's side - after all, Zhang Songling's interests are satisfied, which is Zhang's group's, so the Zhang family supports Zhang Songling. Empress Zhang was forced to cry in front of Ming Xiaozong, and Xiaozong had to let Jinyiwei take Xianji to prison!"

Li Mengyang said, "Bo'an's analysis is! That's the process! After entering the imperial prison, if other Jinyiwei commanders had been replaced, for people like me who have offended the imperial relatives and did not have much identity*, they would probably have been "released" with a few criminal laws in the "imperial edict prison". However, Mou Bin is different. He has heard about my reputation and character for a long time, and basically understands why I was arrested in the "Edict Prison", so after I was arrested in the "Edict Prison", I not only did not receive any punishment, but also received VIP hospitality from Mou Bin. Mou Bin asked the guards to clean up a cleaner cell and put me in it. From time to time, he also brought wine and meat in to talk with me.

Empress Zhang seemed to be busy taking care of other things. Xiaozong felt that the wind had passed, so he found Mou Bin and asked him how Li Mengyang was in prison now. Mou Bin said that Li Mengyang was delicious and sleepy now. Not only did he not lose a catty of meat, but he was much whiter and tenderer than before. Xiaozong praised Mou Bin a few words and said that Li Mengyang had had enough rest. Let him out!"

Wang Shouren laughed and said, "It seems that the king of a country can't do anything about women. He has to make her noisy enough to resolve this matter!"

Li Mengyang said, "This matter is not over yet, and there is the following - after I came out of the "Edict Prison", I still worked with the Zhang family. Zhang Songling saw that this buddy was not only not hurt at all, but also seemed to have gained weight when he went to the "Edict Prison". He immediately went to Queen Zhang and said that we had to be a little cruel this time and put him to death and never turn over. Empress Zhang was instigated by her family again and ran to Xiaozong to cry. This time, Xiaozong was impatient. He said angrily, 'You people obviously want me to kill Li Mengyang! But how can I get rid of the people who help me govern the country for the sake of you?' As soon as Queen Zhang heard that the emperor was angry, she was so scared that she quickly retreated and went back to let her mother's family restrain them. Although we are relatives of the emperor, if the emperor is angry, we will inevitably move our heads!"

Su Wuniang said, "Brother Xianji, you really ate the weight and the leopard's courage - you are so heartless!"

Wang Shouren said, "This can't be more clear - compared with my Zhu family's country, your little interests are not a big deal at all! It can be seen that Mou Bin is not only upright, not afraid of the power of the Zhang family, and governs the prison fairly; but also a smart man. He takes care of criminals like you in prison, which is bound to be praised by the courtiers and meets the emperor's wishes. It's rare - during Moubin's prison, Jinyiwei can make the impression of the courtiers and the people of Jinyiwei no longer horrible and bloody, but fair and benevolent. In the history of Jinyiwei, this is really a unique scenery!"

Su Wuniang said: "As a controversial national violent institution, Mingjun has tried to suppress and even have a plan to ban Jinyiwei, but it is precisely because of the emergence of Jinyiwei managers like Mou Bin in the history of Jinyiwei that it has a little significance!"

Wang Shouren said, "Jinyiwei has always played an important role in the development of the regime in our dynasty. Whether it is a mediocre emperor or an outstanding emperor, there is no way to lose Jinyiwei, a tool that meets their appetite."

Li Mengyang suddenly remembered something and asked, " By the way, I haven't found any clues to the thing you asked me to investigate!" Have you made any progress?!"

Wang Shouren hurriedly stopped and said, "Oh, this matter is already clear. Don't interfere!" I have seen your desperate style! What's wrong with me? I dare not let you do it easily! With today's Mingjun, you can be fearless, but you have never thought about the emperor's dragon body..."

Li Mengyang also snorted dullly: "Well, this is a problem that all loyal courtiers are worried about! Recently, the emperor's physical energy is worrying. He often coughs violently and hears that he has coughed blood! The emperor is only 35 years old, and he has an old-fashioned manner!"

Su Wuniang quickly interrupted: "In addition to fatigue, Queen Wan forced Xiaozong's mother to drink abortion pills, which was a very typical side effect! All right, come on, come on, you can try the new dish..."
