Chapter 12 Epoch-making Changes (V)

He Tengjiao said as he opened the food box he brought and took out the food he brought. Two bowls and chopsticks, a pot of wine, four plates of side dishes and a large bowl of braised pork. He Chun had just sent it over, and it was still steaming and smoking. The aroma of braised pork seduced the greed in Shi Kefa's belly.

"My brother, brother, I know you're good to this, so I specially asked my wife to make this bowl for you. I don't usually eat this, and I don't know if it suits your taste." He Tengjiao stood up and filled the wine glasses in front of them, pointed to the bowl of braised pork and smiled at Shi Kefa.

At this time, the prison head took two candles and lit them, and the prison cell suddenly became much brighter.

Shi Kefa was moved. It was not that no one came to visit him in prison. Wei Xuelian's several people even came many times, and each time they brought various sumptuous meals. However, no one knew some of his eating habits. He looked at the dishes on the table, peanuts, Zhenjiang meat, beef sauce and spicy tofu, which were all the side dishes he liked to eat. These were not close people, and they usually didn't notice these eating habits. He was moved and said in an instant: "Brother He is a soulmate of Xian!"

He Tengjiao actually didn't know Shi Kefa's eating habits. He just remembered that once his wife went to Shi Kefa's house to say that Master Shi didn't look like a monkey, but this braised pork was full of braised pork. He laughed at him after hearing this. He Tengjiao's wife was also a lady from a family, very smart. When he heard that her husband asked him to prepare a large bowl of braised pork, he knew that her husband would go to the prison tonight. Because Shi Kefa went to the prison of Dali Temple, the wife of He and Shi's family left more diligently, so her husband went to visit the prison. The wine and food preparation naturally needed to suit the other party's taste, so he chose four dishes that Shi Kefa liked but his husband was not very disgusted with, which moved Shi Kefa a lot.

"Brother, you just don't think that these dishes are too simple." He Tengjiao saw that the four side dishes were very simple, even too ordinary. However, he was also a thrifty person, but he was afraid that Shi Kefa was unhappy. After all, ordinary peddlers and pawns outside these dishes could be eaten.

"How can I do it? I was just about to try my sister-in-law's skills, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance." Shi Kefa sighed and lifted the food box that his wife brought in to hold the prison head and prepared to put it under the table.

"Slowly, brother, is this the wine and meal prepared by your brother and sister?" He Tengjiao hurriedly stopped him.

Shi Kefa paused and said seriously: "That's right, it's just sent here. Brother He is..."

"Put it up, together, together..." He Tengjiao smiled and pointed at the food box in Shi Kefa's hand.

Shi Kefa was stunned, then smiled and said, "Okay, the night is long anyway, let's talk about him all night and drink him all night."

"I'm just thinking this way, haha." He Tengjiao said with a smile.

"What is this?" He Tengjiao saw Shi Kefa bring out a bowl of braised lion head from the food box, which was bright in color and strong in the soup. It was not much better than the bowl of braised pork made by his wife.

"This, braised lion head, this is a famous dish in Yangzhou. Have you never eaten it before?" Shi Kefa smiled. Although he was sent to jail, his diet was no different from being at home. He just couldn't see his wife and daughter.

He Tengjiao is from Guizhou. His father passed away early, his family was in a state of decline, and hesitated for a long time. Fortunately, Mr. Li Jingxi, a bookstore, set off for the provincial capital exam and passed the imperial examination. He then entered the officialdom. Because he was free to adhere to family education, honest and honest, he lived a hard life with a little salary paid by the court. He became a little better. After becoming a minister of Dali Temple, he had a little improvement. His mother, Mrs. Liao, was old and sick. Although the court had many preferential treatments, he still had to pay a sum of money to treat his mother and take care of her health. He was also frugal on weekdays. He could not see him in the officialdom. For him, eating was a job that he had to fill his stomach. Just like reviewing official documents, he had never been to the south, so he could not recognize this typical southern dish, although it was also a very ordinary dish.

"Oh, my brother is so lucky!" He Tengjiao said a little enviously.

"Brother Yun Cong was joking. My sister-in-law is famous for being virtuous. My Zihe often mentions her sister-in-law in front of me. She is envious of her sister-in-law's ability to manage the house." Shi Kefa smiled.

"Oh, I'm talking far." He Tengjiao didn't want to talk about family affairs, so he picked up his glass and raised it flat: "Come on, brother, I'll give you a glass."

"Brother Yun Cong, please!" Shi Kefa unknowingly changed his name, and changed from "Brother He" to the name He Tengjiao.

"My brother, please!"

After a glass of cold wine fell into her stomach, the two intimate men suddenly became loyal friends. Everything before, including everything in Kaifeng Prefecture, disappeared.

"Brother Yun Cong, where will the emperor put me?" This sentence should not have been asked, but after a few glasses of wine, the like-minded friend sitting opposite him. Shi Kefa had a shallow drink. Under his vague drunkenness, Shi Kefa unconsciously asked the questions he was thinking about.

"What do you think of brother?" He Tengjiao did not answer. It is hard to predict the truth, and the emperor's mind was even more erratic. Even the empresses in the harem knew the emperor's mind well?

"Hey, the emperor is as kind as a mountain. As long as I, Shi Kefa, have a breath, I will be loyal to the emperor. I will go wherever the emperor asks me." Shi Kefa is different from He Tengjiao. He can be regarded as Zhu Yinglong's closest comrade-in-arms, and the most capable subordinate. He has a special relationship of being both a teacher and a friend.

"What if the emperor asked you to do something against your will?" He Tengjiao knew that this topic was too sensitive, but he couldn't help asking, because he also wanted to know whether the emperor's weight was important in Shi Kefa's mind, or whether the people's weight was more important.

"No, I have been by the emperor for five years and know him the best. Although the emperor advocates governing the country according to law, he is still a generous king. His mind is far above ordinary people like you and me. Such things will not happen." Shi Kefa was stunned, but he still tried his best to say many praises for Zhu Yinglong.

He Tengjiao keenly captured Shi Kefa's confused look and said, "The emperor is also a human being. If he remains unchanged now, he does not mean he will not change in the future!"

"Brother Yun Cong, what do you want to say?" Shi Kefa instantly returned to Qingming. The feeling of alcohol just now disappeared without a trace. His eyes stared at He Tengjiao coldly. He didn't understand why He Tengjiao suddenly said such words. If the censors heard it, they would definitely be involved in his crime of being a traitor.

"There are rumors among the people that the current emperor is Pojun Xing Linfan, which will bring endless killing disasters to the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will perish!" He Tengjiao said astonishingly.

"Rumor, this is definitely a rumor!" Shi Kefa jumped up in shock and refuted loudly.

"These words are not from the people!" He Tengjiao sneered.

"Imperial Heaven Supervision!" Shi Kefa took a deep breath of air conditioning in an instant, his face a little pale.

"Who?"

He Tengjiao shook his head. Although he heard these rumors, it was impossible for him to know too many secret things with his identity and ability.

"What do these people want to do?" Shi Kefa said angrily. From He Tengjiao's words, he could already hear something pushing an undercurrent behind him. The target of the undercurrent is the current emperor.

"The Imperial Heaven Supervision is probably over this time. Brother, the emperor has moved so many yamen, and almost all the yamen in the capital have moved, but the Imperial Heaven Supervision has not made any noise. At this time, such rumors have been heard from the Imperial Heaven Supervision. Guess what the Emperor will do?" He Tengjiao asked with careful words.

Shi Kefa lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "I am afraid that everyone in and out of the Imperial Heaven Prison will have to be replaced."

"These people are overestimating their abilities!" He Tengjiao said, not knowing whether it was a pity or a pitiful official from the Imperial Heaven Supervision Bureau.

"Speaking of this rumor, you have something to do with me!" He Tengjiao said.

"Follow me?" Shi Kefa was very surprised. He had been locked in this prison for almost four months and was almost isolated from the outside world. Why did this rumor be related to him again?

"Because of my good brother, the emperor has launched military system reform in advance. After the army has been firmly grasped by the emperor, the emperor will look back on the new law that has not been fully implemented. My good brother knows that the emperor is gradually implementing your secret proposal. Those who have lost their land and are exempted from their salary by the emperor are hated to the core of you, and they have many complaints about the emperor who protects you in every way. These people are not killed, and not one or two, and the emperor cannot condemn them for no reason. Therefore, the rumors in the Imperial Heaven Supervision are just a continuation." He Tengjiao analyzed.

Not to mention that He Tengjiao and Shi Kefa talked about current problems in the prison of Dali Temple and were worried about national affairs. Moreover, Zhu Yinglong and his party left Chengtian Gate and headed towards Dali Temple on the west side. Halfway through, he suddenly remembered that it was not appropriate for him to visit the prison without any help. Although Shi Kefa could not be angry with him when he did this. Perhaps influenced by later generations, Zhu Yinglong ordered Xu Yingyuan to return to the palace and went to the imperial kitchen to find a few exquisite and delicious pastries. He packed them in food boxes. It took nearly half an hour to arrive at Dali Temple after it got dark.

Two angrily wind lights at the door of the cell drifted in the wind, and the candlelight inside flashed, making people worried that it might go out at any time. There were two jailers who were holding knives and napping against the walls on both sides of the prison door. The dark cell behind them seemed more gloomy and desolate.

"Two brothers, our young master comes to visit Lord Shi Kefashi." Zhu Yinglong did not want to reveal his identity, so he asked Xu Yingyuan to come forward and ask.

One of the prisoners suddenly woke up. After seeing Xu Yingyuan and hearing his purpose, he immediately shook his head and said, "No, Shi Kefa is a serious offender. You can't visit the prison at night. Please early tomorrow if you want to visit the prison."

Zhu Yinglong thought to himself that although he was the emperor, he could not break the court's laws at will. He immediately signaled Xu Yingyuan to retreat, and whispered a few instructions. Then Xu Yingyuan returned and handed over the food box containing the pastries in his hand. After saying a lot of good things, the prison guard agreed to deliver it to them.

Then Zhu Yinglong greeted Xu Yingyuan and Yi Chai'erbian's bright red floated away.

When He Tengjiao and Shi Kefa saw the food box, they were shocked. When they ran out to greet him, Zhu Yinglong and the other three had long disappeared. The prison guard was so scared that he knelt down and kowtowed. However, with his wisdom, he could only guess that the three people just now must be big men, but he would never have thought that the emperor would come in person.

He Tengjiao did not explain anything to the prisoner, because the prisoner may not be of any benefit to him after knowing the truth. Sometimes, people are more ignorant and are more blessed.

Zhu Yinglong's departure also affected He Tengjiao and Shi Kefa's interest in drinking and chatting. Shi Kefa was moved and thought that the emperor had never forgotten him after all, and came to visit him in person. Although he had not seen him in person and had not said a word, all this was enough.

He Tengjiao's heart was full of troubles. It was really puzzling for a different emperor to be confused!

In fact, Zhu Yinglong didn't know how much response the reforms he led caused. The new nouns that continued to emerge in the reforms were even more speculating in the hearts of civil and military officials and the people of the world that were all wondering in their hearts, where did these new nouns come from? Why have they never appeared in ancient books and sage books? Although Zhu Yinglong himself ordered the Hanlin Academy to give some allusions and sources of nouns, it was a bit far-fetched, which caused even greater discussion among the people. Over time, Zhu Yinglong was either deified or demonized. At this time, the Imperial Heaven Supervision threw out a rumor that the Pojun Star Linfan was Linfan. It can be imagined how much damage this would have on Zhu Yinglong's reputation.

In fact, Zhu Yinglong received the news much faster than He Tengjiao. Of course, he was shocked. However, in addition to being shocked, he also saw that someone was attacking him behind the scenes. The rumor was just a small monitoring officer of the Imperial Heaven Supervision. After the rumors were spread, they were taken away by Shadow's people. They could have eliminated the rumors at the beginning, but the spread of the rumors was too fast, which forced Shadow to give up arresting the person who spread the rumors.

Zhu Yinglong was quite shocked at first, but he didn't care much afterwards. Moreover, ignoring him and letting things go is the best way to deal with this kind of rumor. So when Zhu Yinglong learned that Shadow arrested the monitor of the Imperial Heaven Supervision without any time to ask for instructions, he not only did not torture the confession, but ordered him to be released. As for the person behind him, sooner or later he would jump out.

The ending of the Imperial Heavenly Prison that He Tengjiao and Shi Kefa predicted that the Imperial Heavenly Prison was going to be imprisoned this time, but the Imperial Heavenly Prison was soon seen, which made the two of them once again appreciate what the Sacred Heart is unpredictable.

Of course, to put it bluntly, it is the feeling that two different people look at the problem from different perspectives and have a difference in understanding and thinking that is three hundred years behind.
