......
Since ancient times, no one has died, but I will leave my loyalty to shine in history!
This sentence is very exciting and makes people excited when they hear it. Uncle Er thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
In the end, I simply didn't think about it, it was written by a literati.
He tried to write this poem on the wall because he felt that his life was not long and he would always leave something in this world at the last moment of his life.
But in the end, only the three words "Li Jinzhong" were engraved on the wall, and there was no other word.
Uncle Er knows how to write the name.
It doesn’t matter if you work as a job in a palace and you can’t read, but you must be able to write your own name, otherwise you may be asked to take someone else’s missed monthly money.
In fact, Uncle Er originally wanted to write his real name, but after hesitation, he still wrote the name "Li Jinzhong".
He didn't want outsiders to know that his surname was Wei, and he didn't want outsiders to know that he killed Yang Lian's dog thief for his nephew.
Second uncle, not stupid.
He just looked stupid, but his heart was bright.
Including today, this is the fifth day of my second uncle in the imperial prison.
Nothing happened in the past five days.
No one came to mention Uncle Er to behead him, and no one came to interrogate him. Every day, only the jailer appeared on time at meal times. Apart from that, no one came to disturb Uncle Er.
The second uncle was thrown into the cell, as if he had been forgotten.
Until now, Uncle Second has not figured out why he was imprisoned. Come on, thinking that he is the one who is going to die anyway, so it is not a place to put it. Therefore, Uncle Second is still very optimistic. At least he lives in a single room, which is the first time in more than 20 years of living in a room alone.
After staying for a few days, the second uncle gradually got used to this kind of life without anyone's interest, and he really felt the imperial prison.
The imperial prison is not as terrible as the outside world rumored. At a glance, except for the second uncle's cell, the rest of the cells were empty. Many cells were covered with moss because they were wet for many years, and the walls were covered with various green plants.
There were no torture instruments, no blood stains, and no screams. The huge imperial prison was like a garden in the south of the Yangtze River, so quiet that it could not be quiet anymore.
Even the arrival of the second uncle made the prisoners feel strange and excited, because since the 23rd year of Wanli, no prisoners were detained in the imperial prison.
As incredible as it sounds, that's the truth.
Li Sancai's "Stop the Mining Tax" praises the emperor's virtue and power. The memorial saying is that the gate of the Dongji Shichang, which was admired by the eunuch, was deserted in front of the eunuchs, and there were only a few eunuchs there, and the courtyard of the imperial prison, led by the Jinyiwei, was covered with green grass.
Even the censors who like to cause trouble for the emperor the most in the foreign dynasty have to admit that His Majesty is not a monarch who kills innocent people. Compared with his previous ancestors, he is undoubtedly the most kind emperor. Since ascending the throne, the emperor's punishment for his ministers has been stopped at the court, but he is just venting his anger and has no intention of dying from the rod.
However, it is precisely because the emperors today are too kind that the censors become more and more courageous.
Why the party struggles in this dynasty are getting more and more intense is ultimately the emperor's own indulgence. If he had half of his grandfather's methods and cruelty, he would probably not have been hiding in the deep palace.
What makes people helpless is that the emperor's kindness and concessions are exchanged for the accusation of the foolish and mediocre kings; while the emperor who often raises major cases and kills all his ministers is a wise king that everyone praises.
Uncle Er didn't know that he was the first "guest" in the imperial prison in the past twenty years.
However, it doesn't matter whether he knows it or not. It's very difficult to survive after entering the imperial prison. Although the second uncle doesn't know a big word, he has worked in the palace for more than 20 years, so he knows that he can't go out alive. When he was arrested, Yang Lian fell to the ground with blood all over the place, so the second uncle thought he had beaten Yang Lian to death.
If the palace slave beats the deadly officials to death, there is no way out.
Therefore, the greatest "fun" of the second uncle now, or the only thing he can do is to feel death in advance.
The jailers have noticed more than once that the old man named Li Jinzhong likes to lie on the ground covered with hay after dinner, then straighten his hands and slowly lift it up like a zombie. Then he raises it straight and high again, and then falls heavily. His legs are tightly tight, and his eyes have already been closed.
I didn't move at all, and if I didn't get close, I couldn't even notice a breath, and I felt like I was dead.
Once I lay down, I spent half a day.
At the beginning, it was basically like this action and process. After two or three days, the jailers were surprised to find that this old guy had added a show to him.
The second uncle cried himself.
I cried miserably, hoarsely, and sang while crying, just like a folk crying grave.
Is the old thing still over?
The prison guards on duty couldn't stand it anymore and held the iron stick and wanted to let the old guy stop. However, for some reason, the prison head who led the team said that he could not torture Li Jinzhong and would not be able to beat him.
Helplessly, the prisoners let Li Jinzhong go.
The second uncle is a honest and honest man. Perhaps he noticed from the impatience and disgust of the prison guard's eyes that he might have affected others' rest. Therefore, on the fifth day, this morning, he did not cry or sing. He did not lie on the ground like the previous two days ago, but fucked his sleeves and squatted in the corner of the wall.
Just squatted.
The jailers just need to watch over others and not let themselves break up. They don’t care about the rest. Li Jinzhong won’t make trouble, and they will be happy to be purified.
The second uncle was squatting, but he had thousands of things in his mind.
When people are about to die, they always think of the past and the ones they are closest to and miss the most.
The second uncle did not regret standing up for his nephew and beating Yang Lian to death. He only regretted that he had studied very little. When he beat Yang Lian, he failed to list 18 and 24 serious crimes, so that everyone in the world knew the sin of this traitor.
The second uncle was also worried that his nephew would survive this disaster safely, and that his body might be discarded at will after his death. In that case, the eldest brother and his nephew would not be able to take him back to his hometown for burial.
Uncle Er has lived enough of a lonely and ghostly life, and he doesn't want to live anymore. But his affairs cannot be decided by himself. He can only secretly pray to the Bodhisattva to bless his soul to return to his hometown after his death, or to bless his nephews to find his corpse.
Just thinking about it, about half an hour later, footsteps suddenly came from outside the cell, and then a prison guard opened the door. Then several Jinyiwei came in and raised the second uncle without saying a word, and then dragged it straight out.
Yes, it's time to send us on the road!
When the second uncle was held up, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was not afraid of death, but it was really uncomfortable to wait for death.
It's over, it's over...
The second uncle did not struggle at all and allowed the Jinyiwei to drag him out. However, when he saw the prison head in the aisle, he subconsciously asked: "I have not eaten the dead head yet."
The prisoner had no expression on his face and had no intention of asking anyone to bring a slaughtered meal to his second uncle.
