Chapter 100

Following Li Wenzheng's order, two silver-clothed warriors rushed in.

They were going to arrest him.

Shen Lang smiled in his heart.

Li Wenzheng, you finally jumped out.

You are a second-rank Jinshi, a silver-clothed inspector, but in the end, you have become a knife in the hands of others.

You have such a good future, but you come to die!

Shen Lang smiled and said, "Lord Li, I want to know how I will die."

Li Wenzheng played with the wine glass in his hand and said lightly, "Not only will you die, but you will also bring disaster to Xuan Wu Mansion. Miss Mulan, your family will probably be implicated. In a few days, the Monarch will send silver-clothed messengers to investigate your Xuan Wu Mansion. "

His eyes were indifferent, his expression was indifferent, and his movements were indifferent.

Shen Lang's eyes narrowed.

What I hate the most is your indifferent and pretentious look.

Shen Lang smiled and sat back in the chair.

He had an advantage, which was that he would allow others to finish their pretense before they died, and he would never interrupt them.

"Lord Li, before you arrest me, why don't you tell me my crimes?" Shen Lang said, "Lest people say that you killed someone without teaching them."

Li Wenzheng said, "Shen Lang, to be honest, your book 'Boundless Beauty in a Golden Vase' is well written, and the poems in it are also very good."

Then, Shen Lang should have said something like "You flatter me".

But he didn't. Instead, he said, "So you also think that I wrote well. It seems that my level is really high."

This sentence almost made Li Wenzheng choke.

But soon he was relieved. Facing a young son-in-law like Shen Lang who was about to die, there was no need to care about his impoliteness.

"There are many outstanding poems in this book of yours. For example, it's better to go home and sleep with your wife than to spend the night in leisure. Although the pillow is boring, sleeping until dawn is free. "Li Wenzheng said," Although it's not very elegant, it's also a way to express the feelings of the world. "

"For example, gratitude and hatred have been accumulated since ancient times. Ten thousand years and a thousand years have passed without giving birth to dust. What an excellent sentence."

"But my favorite is this one."

"After the luxury is gone, the pedestrians are gone, the flute and the zither are no longer singing. The majestic sword's brilliance dimmed, and the precious zither's sparks vanished. The lonely autumn dew falls on the jade steps, the moonlight shines on the place where the song and dance took place. At that time, the singers and dancers did not return, turning into the ashes of West-Hill today. "

At this moment, Zhang Jin interrupted, "I think the other one is the best. It speaks of human nature."

Meng Ji loved to marry a rich man. If we're fated, we'll meet even if we're a thousand miles apart.

Therefore, Zhang Jin and Li Wenzheng began to flatter the poems in Shen Lang's book.

Suddenly …

Li Wenzheng slammed his wine cup on the table and said sternly, "However, Shen Lang, your book has a hidden meaning of rebellion."

His voice suddenly rose, and everyone could not help but pricked up their ears.

Sudden thunder out of nowhere, this was the favorite trick of the big shots.

At first, it was a gentle drizzle, but suddenly there was thunder, scaring you to the point of peeing.

"Listen to this poem." Li Wenzheng read it aloud, "Zhu Rong comes from the south to whip the fire dragon, the fire clouds burn the sky. The sun at noon does not condense, the ten thousand countries are like in a red furnace. The five mountains dry up and the clouds extinguish, the Marquis of Yang is in deep sorrow and thirst. Why should the golden wind blow in the night, sweeping away the heat of the world for me. "

This poem shocked everyone.

Many of the people present had not read Shen Lang's "Boundless Romance of the Plum Vase" before. In their hearts, they only thought that it was a very well-written daihuang book. They did not expect that it would actually contain such a majestic poem.

It was really a good poem, but did this poem have a hidden meaning of rebellion?

Li Wenzheng sneered, "The Monarch once said that the new policy is like the scorching sun in the sky, it must make all the decaying have nowhere to hide, and sweep away all the filth in the world."

That's right, the Monarch did say such words.

Shen Lang and Xuan Wu Mansion had more than once compared the new policy to the scorching sun.

In the entire Tiannan Province, there was the big tree of Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion. But now that the Marquis of Zhenbei had left, Xuan Wu Mansion was left alone under the scorching sun.

Li Wenzheng said, "Shen Lang, your poem compared the sun in the sky to an evil fire, roasting many nobles without a way out. Especially the last sentence, why should the golden wind blow in the night, sweeping away the heat of the world for me. Shen Lang, what do you want to do? Do you want to rebel? "

"The Monarch is the sun of our State of Yue, bright and great. What do you, Shen Lang, want to do? Is Hou Yi shooting the sun? "

"The golden wind blow?" Li Wenzheng said coldly, "Your Xuan Wu Mansion happens to be surnamed Jin. When the golden wind blows, sweeping away the heat of the world. Are they trying to destroy the new policy, or are they trying to rebel and replace it? "

Awesome!

At this time, Shen Lang was really convinced.

He really deserved to be a top student. He was so good at biting words. A normal poem was actually described by you as a rebellion against the new government.

The most important thing was that even Shen Lang felt that it made some sense when he heard it.

Although it was a little far-fetched, although it was a little groundless.

But it did make sense.

However, at this time, the Great Yan Dynasty was not the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It was rare to be convicted because of words, and there was no powerful literary prison.

There was no such thing as Qing Feng being illiterate and why he randomly flipped through books.

Therefore, it was possible for Li Wenzheng to use this poem to label Shen Lang, but it was impossible to convict him.

If it went against his will, most of the poems in the world could be interpreted as anti-poetry.

Li Wenzheng said, "Maybe you think this poem can't convict you at all, right? In that case, the next poem will be you, Shen Lang, courting death. "

Then, Li Wenzheng read the following poem in a voice full of murderous intent.

If I knew that you loved me, I would not be jealous.

Who made my love so deep, but now it is a mistake.

I sleep in sorrow at dawn, and sit in the golden boudoir at dusk.

Only the soul in the sky still speaks the same words.

When everyone heard this, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with this poem.

It was still well written, but the level was not as good as the previous one. The key point was that there was no intention of rebellion, even if it was far-fetched.

Li Wenzheng took out two copies of "Golden/Vase/Plum Breeze and Moon". One was sold in Lanshan City, and the other was sold in Xuanwu City.

"Brush, ink, paper, and inkstone." Li Wenzheng said sternly.

Soon, several servants brought the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and it was a very big piece of paper.

Li Wenzheng copied the poem on the paper.

It was really good calligraphy. There was no lack of sword qi in the elegance, and the force penetrated the paper.

After copying Shen Lang's poem on a large piece of paper, a few servants spread it out for everyone to see clearly.

"Everyone, this is an acrostic poem. Look at the word in the middle of the first, third, fifth, and seventh lines. "

Everyone was stunned and couldn't help but look carefully.

Jun Jin punishes the heavens!

Read in reverse, it was: Heaven punishes Prince Jin!

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked.

It was an acrostic poem, it really had the intention of rebellion.

Sure enough, the evidence was irrefutable, Shen Lang was really dead this time.

Li Wenzheng said, "Maybe some people are wondering if this is a coincidence. I can tell you that it is absolutely not, it is completely intentional by Shen Lang. I have two copies of "Golden/Vase/Plum Breeze and Moon". One was bought in Lanshan City, the other in Xuanwu City. "

"There is a difference between these two."

"The first line is: Sleep in the red tent at dawn, weep in the golden bedchamber at dusk."

"The second is: Sleep in the red tent at dawn, weep in the golden bedchamber at dusk."

"One is vermilion, followed by the word 'Zhu'." Li Wenzheng said, "Vermilion is still passable, how can there be a 'Zhu' in the world? What does this prove? After Shen Lang wrote this acrostic poem, seeing that no one found out, he became even crazier and changed the word 'Zhu' to 'Zhu'. "

Heaven punishes Ma Jun!

"Who is Ma Jun? He is the adopted son of the Monarch, the son-in-law of the state, a member of the royal family. If you want to punish him, you are cursing the royal family! "

"Shen Lang, if this is not rebellion, then what is it? If this is not seeking death, then what is it? "

Now it was almost a solid hammer!

Who was Prince Jin?

He was probably the person in the entire State of Yue that could not be offended, could not be discredited.

His name was Ning Jin.

His original surname was Sha, and he was the Crown Prince of the The South Kingdom.

So what kind of country was this The South Kingdom?

It was a small country, about the size of three counties, with a population of more than a million people.

It was a vassal state of the State of Yue.

The political relationships in this world were very complicated. The State of Yue was a vassal state of the Great Yan Dynasty, and the South Kingdom was a vassal state of the State of Yue.

The South Kingdom's geographical position was very important, and it was a buffer zone between the State of Yue and the Sand Barbarians.

Twenty years ago, the State of Yue and the Sand Barbarians in the southwest had a great war. The King Of The South Kingdom led the elites of the State of Yue as the vanguard of the army, and made great achievements in battle.

And in that great battle, the King Of The South Kingdom died on the battlefield.

The King Of Yue was so grieved that he vomited blood in front of everyone, and the whole country mourned.

At that time, the Crown Prince of the The South Kingdom was only nine years old. The King Of Yue sent someone to bring him to the capital, and adopted him as his adopted son. He was also given the surname of the State of Yue, and changed his name to Ning Jin.

Jin, meaning sleeve.

This meant that the State of Yue and the The South Kingdom were forever brothers.

From then on, the Crown Prince of the The South Kingdom, Ning Jin, was treated the same as the royalty of the State of Yue.

To some extent, the reputation he enjoyed was even greater than that of the Monarch's son.

In the State of Yue's political environment, one could defame the Monarch's younger brother, the Monarch's sons, and even the Crown Prince of the State of Yue.

Only the Crown Prince of the The South Kingdom, Ning Jin, had to be flawless. Anyone who dared to defame Ning Jin's reputation would be severely punished by the Monarch.

This wasn't uncommon on Earth, but of course, they couldn't go too deep here.

Therefore, Crown Prince Ning Jin became a taboo in the State of Yue's politics.

Ning Jin had been in the capital for 15 years, and he also had a high reputation.

Do you know who wrote the first memorial about the State of Yue's new policies?

It was the Crown Prince of the The South Kingdom, Ning Jin. Back then, he was only 18 years old.

At that time, this memorial caused a huge sensation, and it also set off a new chapter of the State of Yue's vigorous new policies.

It was also that year that the Monarch betrothed his daughter, Princess Ning Luo, to the Crown Prince of the The South Kingdom.

Ning Jin reverted to his original surname, and became Sha Jin.

Princess Ning Luo accompanied her husband back to the The South Kingdom, and the Crown Prince of the The South Kingdom officially became the new ruler of the The South Kingdom, and was known as Prince Jin.

Therefore, not only was Sha Jin, the King Of The South Kingdom, the Monarch's adopted son and son-in-law, but he was also the State of Yue's barrier in the southwest.

He became an existence that couldn't be tainted.

As the saying goes, in the State of Yue, you can even defame the Crown Prince, but you can never defame the King Of The South Kingdom, Sha Jin.

However, Shen Lang hid the name of Prince Jin in a poem called "The Boundless Romance of the Plum Blossom".

When Li Wenzheng discovered this acrostic poem, he was instantly overjoyed.

He was a newly appointed official, and what he lacked the most was political achievements.

Or to put it more bluntly, what he lacked the most was a head.

Moreover, the head had to be heavy enough to dye his official hat red, and make him famous.

Moreover, he was also defending the Monarch's new policies, which was absolutely politically correct.

The Xuan Wu Mansion was the perfect target.

Therefore, destroying Shen Lang wasn't his goal at all. His goal was to drag the entire Xuan Wu Mansion down with him.

Shen Lang was just a son-in-law, how could he be qualified to be Li Wenzheng's opponent?

…

Li Wenzheng pointed at Shen Lang and said sternly, "Didn't Prince Jin write a memorial to the throne ten years ago and start the chapter of the new policies? Therefore, you, Shen Lang, regard him as your mortal enemy, and even curse him to die in your poem. You're really crazy. "

"Prince Jin is not only the Monarch's adopted son, but also the son-in-law of the State of Yue. He is also our country's barrier in the southwest."

"Shen Lang, you curse Prince Jin to die in your poem. If this isn't fighting against the new policies, then what is? If this isn't rebellion, then what is? "

"As the silver-clothed inspector who inspects all the counties in the world, how can I tolerate such a thing happening?"

"This is an organized and premeditated case. I must investigate it thoroughly and see who is behind you, Shen Lang. How dare you have the guts to curse the royal family to death in the book. "

"Now, do you know where you're going to die? Men, arrest Shen Lang for me. "

Li Wenzheng shouted sternly, feeling incomparably comfortable.

…
