All the students said that Xianyang was good, but they began to blame Qin when they were trapped.

In Suzhou, Wuzhong, the emperor's will and his uncle's plea failed to save Mr. Jin Da's life.

My aunt, Hedong Jun, waited for the King of Qi for a long time, but only said, "I am crazy and rebellious, and I will take it upon myself. If I don't kill now, I will not be able to understand the law and discipline and make the rules and regulations."

After receiving the instructions from King Qi, Jiangsu Governor Jiang Guozhu and Suzhou Governor Yan Shaoqing immediately arrested and brought Jin Shengtan and Ding Guanzhong and other scholars. However, due to the fierce reaction of Suzhou gentry and the people, Jin Shengtan and others, Jiang Guozhu was worried that Nan would interfere, and the case might turn big and small things into nothing. If that were the case, it would be inappropriate for him to kill someone early, so he did not dare to execute him immediately, but waited for a few days.

Sure enough, after the Crying Temple Crime was spread to Nandu, it caused a stir in the Nandu court. All officials submitted memorials to ask the emperor to pardon scholars who petitioned for the people. Some officials from Jiangnan also wrote to the court, pointing out that "clearing the deficit" was an evil law, and the people they used were cruel officials. Not only could they not increase money, grain and taxes for the court, but they caused civil rebellion and caused the people to be disloyal to the court.

Within one day, 72 memorials were posted, which was the first since the founding of the dynasty.

The great scholar Huang Zongxi wrote a letter saying that the Qing Dynasty was unheard of things that were not heard of in ancient times, and it was the most ridiculous thing in the world. If it was not stopped early, it would endanger the cause of the revival of the Ming Dynasty. It also pointed out that scholars gathered in Wuzhong and cried in the temple. It was a virtue and policy for the Ming Dynasty to support scholars for more than two hundred years. It was also a custom of local supervision and government illegal affairs. It was definitely not a gathering of people to plan chaos. Therefore, it was considered a rebellious case, which was actually inseparable from black and white, and the right and wrong were unclear.

The second servant Lianchengbi also wrote anger to write a letter, saying that Jiangnan had just recovered and was at the time of restoration of the people's health. The court did not take on the hearts of the people at this time, but instead carried out rampant and violent acts against the gentry and the people. Wouldn't it be a shame to force scholars and the people to the Qing Dynasty? If the temple case is confirmed, the hearts of the people in the world will not be clear.

The day after Lianchengbi wrote a letter, Emperor Dingwu issued an edict to stop Qing dynasty and issued an order to send an order to Zhou Shi, the King of Qi who was recovering from the wounded in Zhenjiang, and severely denounced him.

The emperor was angry, and the officials and gentry were in a turbulent relationship. Everyone said that Zhou Shixiang would give in, but he never thought that the matter of waived was not stopped, but instead became more and more intense.

Zhou Shixiang first asked Emperor Dingwu to send Lianchengbi to the commander of Anhui and Henan to transfer him from Nandu. Later, he appointed the surrendered official Zhang Changgeng in the name of King Qi, and Wang Shirong and others from the Muluo to handle the vassal clearance yamen. Not only were they stationed in various provinces to urge the expropriation, but they also set up their branches in the prefectures and counties. In addition to contacting local governments, the yamen could also contact the local garrisons. For a while, the word "clearing vassal" changed color. On both sides of the south of the Yangtze River, tens of thousands of households were forced by the vassal clearance yamen.

After all, Jin Shengtan was his nephew. Qian Qianyi, as the leader of the Jiangnan Shilin, and was also the Grand Tutor of the Dingwu court. Seeing that King Qi had become a hostile relationship with the gentry of Jiangnan due to Qingnuo, his nephew was about to die tragically. After thinking about it, he went to Zhenjiang in person, intending to persuade King Qi to change his course. He just gave up the evil laws of Qingnuo and forgive the scholars of the crying temple to ease the current tension. Unexpectedly, when Qian Qianyi arrived, King Qi went to Jinshan to review the two newly added troops, and the two sides failed to meet.

Helplessly, Qian Qianyi had to write a handwritten letter to the King of Qi, asking the King of Qi to let go of the crying temple for his sake. This letter was a rock that was sinking into the sea, and the King of Qi did not reply at all. Qian Qianyi waited in Zhenjiang for two days but failed and had to return to the capital angrily. After that, his wife Hedong Jun also rushed from Suzhou to Zhenjiang to plead for Jin Shengtan. This time, the King of Qi had a clear attitude, calling Jin Shengtan and others the crying temple, but in fact they resisted food and taxes. This was a sin of unforgivable crime. If it was pardon, the court would definitely not be able to maintain it.

When the King of Hedong left, he received a handwritten letter from King Qi, which wrote the number "If you don't pay food or taxes, you will have no country or home."

In Suzhou, Jiang Guozhu saw that Qian Qianyi and his wife and the emperor's imperial edict could not change his mind, so he immediately knew that he could no longer delay, so he ordered Suzhou magistrate Yan Shaoqing to execute Jin Shengtan and other scholars.

The day before the execution, the prison was as usual to serve a "dead-headed meal" for scholars who were about to go to the execution ground tomorrow. The scholars realized that they had no way to survive and everyone regretted that they should not participate in the crying temple for making a name for themselves.

That night, there were constant crying in the prison. Some scholars drowned because they were too frightened. Some people pretended to be crazy and stupid, but everything was useless. The prison soldiers just laughed at the stranger in the prison and had no mercy. It was because the province had just written a document. In the future, the officials of the prefectures, yamen runners, prison soldiers all paid their salaries from the yamen. If the yamen have no income, then the cadres will have no salary. In this way, the officials of each county will no longer dare to collude with the gentry and the big families, otherwise it would be small if they had no income, and the job would not be guaranteed. It would be a big deal to land. For example, the scholars in the prison incited the rich people not to pay food or taxes, which would have cut off their life. It is natural for both sides to become enemies since then.

However, Jin Shengtan, who was designated as the main culprit of the rebellious case, was called "crazy life". He laughed and ate the jailer, and called the prisoner to tell him something important. The prisoner thought that Mr. Jin had told him about something shocking, or revealed the secret of the treasures he passed down from generation to generation, so he happily used his pen and ink to serve Jin Shengtan.

Unexpectedly, Kim Da Kuangsheng pointed to the slaughter rice that he had just finished eating and said to the prisoner: "The peanuts and dried tofu are chewed together, and they have a big taste of walnuts. I have passed on this skill and I will die without regrets!"

The prison guard was amused and laughed and cried by Jin Shengtan. Seeing that he was really not afraid of death, he would let him go and not bother with him.

The next day he was executed, and the execution was desolate and solemn. A gloomy open space with a small radius was shining with swords and swords around him, which looked gloomy and terrifying. Jin Shengtan and other thirty-one scholars, who were named "confusing the public" as the leader of the rebellion case, were all wearing shackles and locks, standing on the prison chariot. On the execution ground, the executioner held a ghost-headed knife with a flash of cold light, which was creepy and chilling.

In order to achieve the effect of killing chickens to warn monkeys, Yan Shaoqing ordered thousands of people to observe the punishment. In order to prevent chaos in the execution ground, he also requested more than a thousand troops to maintain order.

Seeing that the execution time was approaching, Jin Shengtan's two sons Lier and Lianzi (nickname) looked at their father who was about to die forever, and they were even more sad, and tears were like a spring. Although Jin Shengtan felt sad, in order to comfort his son, he said calmly: "What's the use of crying? Come on, I'll give you a couplet." After saying that, he recited the first couplet "Lotus Zi's heart is bitter."

His two sons knelt on the ground and cried so much that their throats were dry and their liver and gallbladder were split. How could they have the heart to pair up the couplets?

Er'er is also implicated by his father. The county school officials informed them a few days ago that because his father resisted food and taxes, the government issued a document that the two of them could not be admitted to the imperial examination within five years. The imperial examination was the only way for scholars to enter the officialdom. Er'er was not allowed to take the imperial examination in the fifth year. Although it didn't take the imperial examination for five years, five years was very long and important for scholars. Not being able to take the imperial examination for five years was equivalent to cutting off their way of imperial examinations, making them hopeless in the imperial examinations in the future. How could the two not blame their father? However, they were connected by flesh and blood. Now his father was to be punished, and as a son, he could only cry.

Seeing Er'er crying violently, Jin Shengtan sighed for a while, "You all get up, stop crying, I will talk to you for your father." Then he recited the second couplet "Li (Li)'s belly is sore."

This couplet was very clever, which made people even more moved. Yan Shaoqing, the chief of punishment, snorted coldly after hearing this. This crazy life was too dark and unreal. He was too lazy to listen anymore and threw the signature on the ground.

"cut!"

I saw the sword rising and falling in the cold light, and a generation of crazy people fell.
