In the rather empty hall, the two faced each other, one sitting and one standing, the one who sat was the king, and the one who stood was the minister.

Jun is the son of today's great tomorrow, the young monarch Wanli who has occasionally appeared grandiose, and the minister is the first assistant of the cabinet, and the old minister Shen Shixing who has gradually entered his twilight years. After the salute, this gentleman and his minister did not speak for a long time.

Wanli was quite reluctant to meet Shen Shixing, and he was afraid that he would be seen through or persuaded by this slick and shrewd old minister. But after all, the other party is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and he is a very popular minister, so he can't be equated with other officials, so he can only be reluctantly summoned.

And Shen Shixing, after seeing the Son of Heaven at close range this time, was also emotional. This young son of heaven had unconsciously truly possessed the demeanor of a king, which made him a little in awe for a while, and he didn't dare to speak casually.

But the responsibility is on his body, and Shen Shixing can't help but open this mouth, so he said after boosting his heart: "Your Majesty, the minister's surprise visit today is only for one thing - recently, Jinyiwei suddenly wantonly arrested various yamen officials, but is it from His Majesty's edict?" Originally, he was going to go around in circles, but he spoke euphemistically, but at this time, because of the fear in his heart, he asked so directly, and as soon as the words came out, even Shen Shixing himself was a little surprised.

Wanli was also stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward and ask the teacher for guilt. Fortunately, he was prepared for this matter, and he didn't seem to be too flustered, but just nodded slightly: "Yes, this is exactly what I asked Jinyiwei to do." ”

"I don't know what crime these officials have committed, that they have to work in brocade clothes?" There is no turning back when you open the bow, and since you asked, let's keep being tough.

Wanli glanced at the other party with a smile: "Shen Ge Lao, as the head of the cabinet, how can you not know the reason?" These people have no eyes on the king, and they arbitrarily arrange and discuss the rights and wrongs of me, can't I, as the Son of Heaven, take them down for a small punishment and a big commandment? ”

"This ......" Shen Shixing's words were suffocating, he didn't expect the emperor's answer to be so straightforward, which made it a little difficult for him, who had always been slippery, to accept it. Fortunately, he has been up and down in the officialdom for a long time, and he has already refined his extraordinary mind and courage, and soon said: "Even if there are inconsiderate aspects of these officials' performances, after all, they are also a fist for the country, and I hope that Your Majesty will not hurt them because of a momentary anger, this is a major event that blocks the way of speech, and it must be guarded against." ”

"As I just said, this is just a small punishment and a big commandment, and I won't embarrass them too much. But ......" said a meal, but there was a glint in his eyes.

Originally, Shen Shixing was a little relieved to hear him say this, but then when he heard that there was another turn, his heart tightened again, and he quickly asked, "Does Your Majesty still have any concerns?" ”

"But there's one thing I have to find out." Wanli looked at Shen Shixing and said in a hateful tone: "I want to know, what kind of person is so bold that he actually spread such a fallacy, causing hundreds of officials to talk about it like this, even the harem is not at peace." ”

Being stared at by the emperor with such a faint gaze, Shen Shixing was unconsciously sudden, but he quickly reacted and said with some surprise: "Does Your Majesty think that the article "Discussion on Anxiety" was written by officials of the DPRK and China? ”

"I can't think of anyone else who has the courage and ability to do that. Therefore, before the real culprit of this matter is discovered, people must be arrested, let alone released. Wanli finally told his bottom line. Shen Shixing suddenly became a little anxious: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is very debatable, maybe it is not as you think......" He really didn't think that this article "Worrying about the Crisis" was written by a certain official in the DPRK and China, so he wanted to explain it on his behalf.

It's a pity that the emperor didn't give him this opportunity at all, and only waved his hand: "What the hell, I have entrusted everything to the people of Jinyiwei, what do you have to say to them." I'm tired, so I'll talk about something else in a few days. As he spoke, the eunuch beside him stepped forward to help the emperor up, and the latter slowly left the side hall.

This made Shen Shixing very helpless, the emperor said so, and also issued an expulsion order, what else could he do as a courtier, so he had to kneel down again and send the Son of Heaven away with a big gift.

When Shen Shixing came out of the palace, there was a circle of officials around him, and they were all anxious to know the result of this trip: "How about it, has Your Majesty changed his mind?" ”

"Elder Shen Ge, what did Your Majesty say?" ……

Facing everyone's eager eyes, Shen Shixing felt a little ashamed, and said after a while: "Your Majesty has made up your mind, and you won't give the old man a chance to advise at all." only said that he called Jinyi Wei to take people in order to find out who was the hand of the article "Worrying about the Trouble", and he couldn't find out this, but he was afraid that it was ......"

"How does this work?"

"Yes, if they can't find out one day, these officials will be locked up for one day, and if they can't find out for a year, will they be locked up for a year? How unreasonable! ”

"That is, this matter must not go on like this......" The officials said against one after another, and there was one thing they did not raise, that is, no one dared to guarantee that the people of Jinyi Wei would not continue to take people, and even where they were taken to prison.

Although Jinyiwei has been quite low-key in recent years, although the so-called brother is not in the rivers and lakes, there is still a legend of the brother in the rivers and lakes, and everyone still has a deep understanding of the various terrible methods of Jinyiwei at the beginning.

But these people only dare to shout a few words here, they really don't have the courage to ask them to make trouble with Jinyiwei, so in the end, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Shixing again, and he still has to make decisions about such a big thing......

Being stared at by these guys with eager and expectant eyes, Shen Shixing felt a big head for a while. I could have stayed out of the situation, but why did I end up on the front line? And what makes him even more depressed is that he really can't shirk this matter, who calls himself the false name of the head of a hundred officials? Moreover, things have already followed, and there is no reason to give up halfway.

After being silent for a long time, Shen Shixing sighed: "Okay, I'll help you with this again, and go and deal with the people of Jinyiwei." ”

When everyone heard him say this, they were overjoyed in their hearts, and they just wanted to thank him, but when they saw Shen Shixing, they said: "But before that, this pavilion still has a few words to say." ”

"But please advise the elder." At this time, everyone was quite modest, full of the appearance of being teachable.

"There is an ugly saying to say in the front, this pavilion is doing this for everyone, but not just to save face for you. The Son of Heaven has bluntly said that he wants to find out the culprit who spread the demon book, so if you want to save others, this culprit must be confirmed, do you understand what I mean? "Shen Shi Xing is right.

Everyone looked at each other a few times, and then nodded in agreement.

Shen Shixing said again: "Is there a real culprit among you?" If there is, stand up now, and Benge may be able to help him speak, otherwise once he is found out by Jinyiwei, there is no need to say the result, right? ”

Everyone looked at each other again, but this time as soon as their eyes met each other, they quickly separated. Then, everyone shook their heads: "How can we do such a rebellious thing?" ”

"Okay, I'll just believe you." Shen Shixing sighed: "Let's see the result after I go and talk to that Yang Zhen." ”

"Then all of them will be Lao Ge Lao." Everyone gave up their hands, but their hearts were finally at ease.

Early the next morning, the Suppression Division.

"Governor, the first assistant of the cabinet, Shen Shixing, is out to see." Yang Zhen had just come to Yamen, and before he could deal with any affairs, someone rushed to report.

Hearing this, Yang Zhen was obviously stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that they are really in a hurry, I estimate that it will take another two days for someone to come to the door, and it is actually the dignified cabinet chief assistant who came." Thinking of this, Yang Zhen had already stood up: "Let's go, call a few other adults, let's go outside the door to greet us." ”

Several of his subordinates were a little surprised when they heard him say this, and their own governors were too kind of to each other. Everyone can guess why this cabinet chief assistant came to suppress the department, it is because of himself, why did the governor lower his identity?

Although they were puzzled, Yang Zhen gave an order, and everyone quickly complied. Soon, dozens of important people in the Zhenfu Division followed Yang Zhen and came to the gate to welcome Shen Shixing.

Shen Shixing was standing in this extremely unfamiliar place at this time, and his heart was still a little up and down. To be honest, he has been in the officialdom of the capital for decades, but today he has only come to this long-known place for the first time, but he doesn't know what kind of disadvantage Yang Zhen will give him.

But the result was greatly beyond his expectations. After waiting for a while, the two black lacquer doors burst open, and then he saw a large group of smiling and enthusiastic men greet them, and the first one was the Marquis of Changping, Yang Zhen, the governor of the Jinyi Guard.

Yang Zhen actually personally led people out to greet him, which made Shen Shixing feel complacent for a while, after all, his identity as the head of the cabinet was not ordinary. But then, he was secretly vigilant, and the other party could still give him such a high courtesy under such circumstances, which shows that Yang Zhen is indeed very comparable.

Just as he was thinking about it, Yang Zhen had already strode in front of Shen Shixing, and bowed his hand and said: "The lower official has seen Shen Ge Lao, what is the order of the Ge Lao to call someone to come over and pass on a word, why bother to personally condescend to this trip?" ”

These words were extremely reasonable, and his attitude was also very sincere, so that Shen Shixing could only return the salute and smile: "This pavilion is also forced to be helpless, only to ask to see you Yang Dudu!" ”

"But I don't know what is important to make the elder so concerned?" As he spoke, Yang Zhen had already led the other party straight inside.

And Shen Shixing glanced at Yang Zhen and the other Jinyi guards and said, "It's not for the fact that the courtiers have been constantly taken recently......
