Chapter 29 Chapter Twenty-Nine

All the ministers were in an uproar. For the sake of a senior tutor, the issue of the future crown prince was involved. Obviously, even the Holy Majesty could not have thought of it. Liu was indeed a hundred times more talented than Chongyang, and he hit it off with Liu Yanpu very well. In the end, the emperor awarded Teacher Liu to his own son, and sent another famous Confucian Su Ziyu to Chongyang. On the surface, Jinxiu had won. end. The 17th day of June in the first year of Yuanchang was the last time Liu Yanpu taught Chongyang. He walked to the Hall of Scholars as usual, planning to say goodbye to Chongyang. Although Chongyang's IQ was not very high, he finally taught Chongyang for a year. It is considered obedient, the master and the apprentice are more or less emotional, but Liu Yanpu is very reluctant.

When saying goodbye to Xiao Chongyang with tears, Liu Yanpu also said sincerely: "In the future, if you have any doubts about learning, just call your ministers, and you will definitely solve your doubts." Little Chongyang took Teacher Liu by his little hand, and said with snot and tears: "Chongyang is not smart, sir may not like me, but please don't leave, Chongyang doesn't like new teachers." In order to keep the teacher, Xiao Chongyang, in front of the servants and their mothers, recited a three-character scripture from the beginning to the end fluently for the first time. Everyone was shocked, and An Niangong, who is rarely known for being glamorous, was moved to tears. With a full face, Liu Yanpu praised Chongyang again and again: "I understand, my son is extremely intelligent, and his wisdom is like a fool." Then he burst into tears: "It's just that the emperor's order is hard to break!"

Everyone at the scene was moved to tears, but finally Liu Yanpu left in tears. The strange thing was that he did not show up at Feiliu's Three Provinces Palace after that day. Stiff and dead, the emperor was shocked and expressed great importance. He immediately sent a competent case-handling expert to inspect it. His surname was Wang and his name was Xiang Rong. He was the first arrester in the capital and had more than thirty years of arrest. Experience, newly transferred, Detective Wang quickly investigated for three days, and believed that the death was caused by a heart attack caused by extreme anxiety.

"Jin Tuo Remains" mentioned that Emperor Taizu actually sent another confidant named Tan Haitao to check in secret. , Tan Haitao came to a completely different conclusion. He secretly reported to the emperor that Liu Yanpu died of murder, and the murderer's method was cruel and ingenious. There happened to be a small red mole on Liu Yanpu's heart, which was smaller than a sesame seed. The murderer did it well. Very ingeniously, a special kind of extremely thin gold needle was quickly inserted into the red mole, piercing the heart in an instant, the victim would not die immediately, but his limbs would be paralyzed. It was caused by heart disease, so Liu Yanpu's death was twitching hands and feet, and his face was hideous. Obviously, this was done by a professional killer who is very good at covering up the truth. Without extraordinary experience in handling cases and knowledge of martial arts, it is absolutely impossible to discover the truth. Tan Haitao at the same time It was judged that the murder weapon should be the mosquito needle, one of the top ten hidden weapons in martial arts, and there are not many people who know this kind of hidden weapon. You can’t count it on one hand in the world. It just so happened that one of the dark people in Xiying named Chuyi Born a dark servant, his family's unique knowledge is the mosquito beard needle, and it happens to be Princess Annian's subordinate.

Although it was Liu Yanpu himself who was under the most pressure during this period, Tan Haitao's conclusion was only a top secret of the Yuan family at the time and was not known to the public, but everyone still pointed the finger at Princess Annian, who hated her betrayal the most, even though there was no witness , physical evidence, or any clues that showed that Princess Annian was the murderer, but everyone still believed that any high-ranking dark man in Xiying could perfectly make the false appearance of dying from a heart attack flawless. This case was recorded in the court files and became one of the top ten unsolved cases in the Dayuan Dynasty, known as the "Taifu case" in history.

"Jin Tuo Yibian" records that the imperial concubine deceived Yan Pu to teach the king of Hanzhong, and the emperor approved it. Yan Pu bid farewell to the son, crying and said: "If the son has doubts, you can call the minister." The son wept and said: "I know I'm not wise, but please don't leave." According to the internal servant supervisor, he saw a ghost shadow following him, pushed it into a place where there was no one, and stabbed his heart with a very thin gold needle. In this room, Jinxiu naturally sued the imperial court aggressively. Princess Annian murdered the court officials and openly resisted the edict. His father cried miserably: "Father Huang Mingjian, if you use the means of sons and ministers, why did you harm the Taifu that day, why did you leave the body in the palace, why did you hand it over to someone today... It is clear that the imperial concubine covets the position of crown prince, Taking advantage of this opportunity to blame and attack my brother and my husband, and the imperial concubine is from a dark background, it is easy to harm the Taifu, so I beg my father to be the master of my son..."

On one side is the beloved daughter and the unfortunate Chongyang, and on the other side is the imperial concubine who has been loved for many years and the beloved young son. The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. The great, wise and correct Holy Majesty also felt embarrassed for a while.However, after such a brief moment of silence, the two sides quickly revealed that the officials in the opposing camp oppressed the people, corrupted the law, and filled their pockets. In order to vent their anger, Jinxiu ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to stop all the salaries and regulations for Princess Annian. And secretly set fire to the ancestral hall of Princess Annian's biological mother, Empress Xiaogong. In order to avenge their master, the dark people in Xiying set off market forces to fight each other, and then besieged Jinxiu's officials, disturbing the stability of the people's livelihood, and the people were miserable. In order to save his beloved wife, the king of Nanjia County sent a letter almost every day: I begged the sage to make a clear investigation. The instigator was the imperial concubine Jin, who was arrogant and domineering.

Impulsively, King Dongxian even led his troops to divert to Linzhou to fight with the Fengde army, which caused the most intense court dispute since the new dynasty. In the end, the enraged Holy Majesty confirmed the scientific judgment of Catcher Wang in the court hall. Liu Taifu was old, drank too much alcohol the day before the accident, and parted from his old disciples, and died of heart disease due to excessive grief. The Holy One was quite old, and he personally went to the front to reprimand his eldest son, took his tiger talisman, deprived him of the right to manage the army, and let Lu Lun, the third-rank Linwu general who was a hero in the bloody battle in Liangzhou, take his place temporarily. The king followed the saint back to the court hall in despair, and shut himself in the palace to think about his mistakes seriously.

But Jinxiu hadn't finished the fun, the Holy Majesty began to reorganize her forces, and divided Chen Ruizhong, who advocated Li Feiliu as the prince, into five horses in the court hall. , and killed all the little eunuchs who picked up Liu Yanpu. The Holy Majesty dismissed Jinxiu’s confidants on the grounds of dereliction of duty by the supervisor, and Huo Mei, the chief eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, also dismissed it on the grounds of improper deployment. Shi. The internal attendant secretly passed on the word of mouth of the sage, Princess Annian spent three months in self-cultivation, and the concubine Jinhuang was confined in the palace, and the queen took care of the affairs of the six palaces, and taught the king of Hanzhong carefully.

All officials involved in this matter were fined for one year as a punishment. In this way, the Holy Majesty blamed Liu Yanpu's sudden death from a heart attack, and saved his daughter. Regarding the matter of the crown prince, everyone was silent, and no longer dared to speculate. The Holy Majesty severely reprimanded the chaos of cronies in the court: "If there is no important matter, the royal family should not have close relations with foreign ministers. If it is not a festival day, alcohol and feasts are prohibited among ministers and bureaucrats, so as not to cause all kinds of disasters and cronies to disrupt the country... …Wives who are internally and externally ordered should understand this law, cleanse your body and observe women's virtues, and discuss government affairs well, no matter how big or small, they will all be sentenced to death."

Although I closed the performance of Yuzhuang Building in the palace in time, and chose to say that I was not sick when the two sides were fighting, so there was no major difficulty, but I was implicated after all. A son of a good family, disgraceful to public morals," expressed his dissatisfaction with the verdict, and tried his best to show his strength afterwards. Some court officials deliberately damaged the reputation of a good family, but the minister of Dali Temple was still pending. It dragged on for three full years until the first year of Yuande, of course this is a later story. Not only that, the sage decreed that all the sons of officials above the third grade must enter the government school established by the court when they reach the age of six, and the princes and the sons of princes and counties who have reached the age of six must enter the palace to learn, and no more Leave them to their own upbringing at home. As a result, the "dispute for noble girlfriends" that was about to shake the foundation of the dynasty came to an end.In the "Girlfriend Controversy" incident, Feibai's side strictly ordered his subordinates to act rashly, but they were safe afterwards. I couldn't help secretly admiring Yuan Feibai's political views. For a period of time, noble ladies did not dare to go out easily, and they got together on March 8th, which caused my women's series business to plummet, and the business of Jiaofang restaurants in various places was also very low.Sure enough, if the water is clear, there will be no fish. Too strict politics is not a good thing for the economy. But soon, another business opportunity quietly knocked on my door! After the empress took charge, she enthusiastically responded to the emperor's call, intending to educate the lawless women of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and issued an order from the House of Internal Affairs to order me to print more biographies of strong women, female rings, female rules, etc., and donate them to various schools and prefectures. All the women's family members are studying, so I thought that since the women's family members of the officials can't go out, there must be people reading in the mansion. Why not develop the publishing industry?At the moment, they quietly bought several printing shops, and together with Qi Fang Xiaoyu and others, they researched pottery movable type printing method to improve the traditional block printing. At the beginning, they were mostly stories of loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, and attracting people to do good. , opened the door of convenience, and slowly I followed the dark people to collect all kinds of anecdotes and wild anecdotes, strange manuscripts and so on, and compiled them into stories of various genres. For this reason, I stayed up for several nights and tried my best to recreate the stories of Journey to the West from my previous life. Stories such as Ji Ji and Liao Zhai have been rounded up, alas!I really miss my steak belt these days. At the same time, I raised a bunch of talented long-term contracted writers or cartoonists at a high price, and edited and published a large number of fascinating stories through them. Fearing that some people could not read, many of them were put on the market in the form of comic strips. On the last page of a novel or an annals of paintings, there must be some warning mottos, admonishing the world to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, not to form cliques for personal gain, not to break the law and commit crimes, and so on. In short, my new business has gradually gained long-term customers. Those who love to watch romantic petty bourgeoisie are mostly ladies who have nowhere to go. Even the palace began to pass down some storybooks. The empress liked vulgar novels like three words and two moments. Jinxiu secretly spread the word that Feiliu's attendants were not allowed to let him read Journey to the West, and Pleasant Goat was not allowed to read it. , You are only allowed to read the Four Books and Five Classics, not to mention that this kid Feiliu is really a bit resilient to be an emperor. He told the emperor that he wanted to shake hands with Chongyang, and the emperor was of course very happy. Found it for him, the emperor found it, the dark people in Chongyang didn’t have movable type molds to print it, but it’s amazing that there are strangers who can draw another copy in one night, and it’s exactly the same, so he successfully got a copy. This Journey to the West. As for Qingmei’s secret report, I said that even Emperor Taizu likes to read for a while before going to bed. I admire Emperor Taizu for this. He also said that he likes to put the picture book of "The Green Monster" (Shrek comic strip) and the gold suit together. Look, and read a chapter of "Biography of the Green Monster", read another chapter, and then read a chapter of "Biography of the Green Monster", and read it again, often laughing and sighing for a while. After all, the emperor is the emperor, so I can't put the absurd ghost novels and the solemn red studies together at the same time. In any case, with a stable income from the industry, I finally made up for the Yulou costumes. Soon after, a bookstore was established on Zhuque Street. Considering the political sensitivity of culture, certain genres are easily banned, so the bookstore was established. It was named "Loyalty to the Country", and the emperor immediately issued a decree, sending an expert from the Ministry of Industry to join the Printing Bureau to learn pottery letterpress printing, which made this skill spread, and Chang'an, the capital of the Great Yuan Dynasty, became the leader in the printing industry. , Laid a solid foundation for spreading leaflets in enemy cities and engaging in revolutionary propaganda activities in the future. However, the elimination of engraving and printing gave Emperor Taizu a reasonable excuse to carry out the first large-scale "cultural cleansing" of the Great Yuan Dynasty. Rebellion, ridicule of current events, and destruction of Yuan's articles and poems and other engraving models, even the published books were burned, because most dark people do not understand the literary value of written works, and they would rather "burn a thousand by mistake, and not let it go" for one. As a result, many precious historical books and excellent literary works were destroyed, and it was called "Moving Type Qingwen" in history. I saw that the "Moving Type Qingwen" was getting worse, so I secretly contacted non-Baimenke, eighteen academicians of the Hanlin Academy, and jointly appeared in the court, arguing with reason, in the name of not being stable in the court, not easy to disturb people's hearts, and disturbing the people, so as to make this trend possible It gradually disappeared, and it also stopped the signs of the Daxing Literary Prison in time. Of course, this incident also became an inducement for me to enter the Imperial Prison. However, I did bend the law for selfish purposes for a while, and because of my position, I confiscated all the pornographic paintings about Mrs. Huaxi’s back door, including the engraving molds, and destroyed them all, except for a few paintings that were really touching and whose words were really beautiful Yes, I really... didn't want to burn them, so I kept a few copies. Later, these few copies of the back door pornographic paintings were accidentally left out of the palace, and became treasures in the underground antique markets of various dynasties in later generations. Relying on the contribution of Jun's letterpress printing, I implored the emperor to allow the two noble daughters to reunite with their mother and son. The Holy Majesty still does not allow Jinxiu to enter or leave the Shuanghui Donggui Building. Although he has not regained his real power, he can call the King of Hanzhong to meet at any time. The princess is also not allowed to leave the mansion, but the Holy Majesty is extra merciful and sends Chongyang's son back to the princess mansion so that mother and son can be reunited. After this round of fighting, Jinxiu and Song Minglei became jealous of each other. They temporarily retreated from the battlefield, licked their wounds, guarded each other secretly, and maintained the superficial calm. I also let out a sigh of relief in my heart. Fortunately, good news came from the front line not long ago, and the two most noble women of the Great Yuan dynasty were released. The officials drank a little wine, and the women were able to go out and chat again.The king of Jin captured Suzhou and Daizhou, and advanced to Dingzhou. Linde army also captured Hengzhou, Fengde army captured Yingzhou, and Tiande army joined the other armies in Daizhou. Besides, since Taizu acquiesced to the dark palace to support me Jinchanhua, I kept deploying medicinal materials to Dali. The plague gradually suppressed in summer and moved northward. One or two villages were infected, but Zhang Zhiyan's small court began to spread.
