Chapter 808 Accident (Part II)

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Standing in front of the high **** imperial gate, he silently looked up at the sun in the sky, which was brilliant and dazzling.

The words that Shen Mingchen said when he entered the city echoed in his ears: "My lord, you have to think carefully, the price of doing this is too great...... Isn't it all in vain all the persistence that has been held? ”

"But this time the opponent is too strong, the time and place are favorable, if I have a plan or not, if I come with them according to the rules, I can only be kicked out of the cabinet......" In the quiet carriage, the silent voice was very tired.

"Take a step back, sometimes the sea and the sky are wide." Shen Mingchen knows the concept of silence very well, and he knows how painful it is to betray his own concept.

"No, it will only be controlled step by step, and there is almost no possibility of re-entering the cabinet." Shen Mo shook his head and said: "Besides, in the southeast now, it looks like cooking oil on fire and fresh brocade, but in fact it is still very childish, and there is no big tree that shelters from the wind and rain, and it cannot withstand the wind and rain." Saying that, he smiled reluctantly at Shen Mingchen and said, "I can't lose this time, no matter what the price is." ”

"My lord seems to have changed." Shen Mingchen said in a low voice.

"Juzhang, we were both naïve in the past, Mr. Yin was right," Shen Mo looked at him deeply, and his voice gradually became firmer: "If you don't follow the rules, it won't affect others at all, if you want everyone to abide by your rules, there is only one way, that is, you make the rules, and those who don't follow them are out." There is no other way"

'There is no other way,' silently thought in his heart, eliminating the last trace of hesitation. The dazzling sunlight reflected him all over the body, so that the guards guarding the door had to put their hands on the pergola to see the person who came, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "It turned out to be Shen Xiang, are you going to face the saint?" ”

Shen Mo nodded, but his gaze passed over him and fell on a eunuch who came in a hurry, it was the eunuch guarding the Imperial Gate.

The janissary also heard footsteps behind him, and when he saw that it was Shangfeng coming, he shut up and stood aside.

"Oh, yes...... Shen Xiangye. Seeing that he was being watched, the eunuch hurriedly slowed down, pretending not to come on purpose, and saluted with a silent smile: "The slave and maid have asked for your ......" It's just that the lung capacity is too small to breathe evenly, and he is wheezing when he speaks.

"This father-in-law is polite." Shen Mo took out the waist card for entering and leaving the forbidden palace and said, "This official is going to face the saint." ”

"Oops......" The eunuch didn't take his waist card, but said with a look of 'you are unlucky': "The manager of the Qianqing Palace informed that seven days later is the death of the Empress Dowager Du, and the emperor will burn incense and fast, and he will not see the ministers during this time." He said with a smile: "Please come back in a few days." ”

"The death of the Empress Dowager Xiaoke is the seventh day of the next month," Shen Mo groaned slightly, looked at the eunuch expressionlessly and said: "Today is the twenty-ninth day, if the emperor wants to fast, it seems that it will start tomorrow." ”

"This ......" The eunuch didn't expect that he could remember the death of the Empress Dowager Du so clearly, and while he was dumbfounded, he argued forcefully: "Anyway, if the above informs us like this, our family can only act according to orders." ”

"This is the emperor you are referring to," Shen Mo said in a soft tone: "Which father-in-law is it." ”

"Of course it'......" The eunuch didn't finish speaking, but he heard Shen Mo say coldly: "This official will ask the emperor for verification." ”

"Uh......" The eunuch swallowed the word 'emperor' and whispered: "The message from the Qianqing Palace did not explain whether it was an edict or not. ”

Silent gaze drifted into the distance, and he saw that behind the pillars of the Imperial Palace, a red figure flashed, and the eight achievements were Feng Bao. The fire in his heart had already lit his hair, but after all, in the gossip furnace of officialdom, he had reached the position of a cabinet scholar, and he didn't move at all, and he ordered lightly: "You call Feng Bao, or I'll ask myself." ”

"This ......" The eunuch was entangled there, and "this" lasted for a long time, and he didn't say whether he was going or not.

"If you don't want to go, let me go." Silence is about to step inside.

"Shen Ge Lao, hey, Shen Ge Lao ......" The eunuch hurriedly subconsciously stopped him, and whispered with a pleading face: "You are good, if you are let go, your small ass will have to be opened." ”

"So, someone told you to stop me?" Shen Mo was a foot close to him, and his gaze seemed to be able to see through him.

"This ...... Don't be embarrassed. "The eunuch was about to cry.

"I'll teach you a way not to be embarrassed," Shen sighed softly, motioning for him to come over with his ear.

The eunuch leaned his head over and said with a small expression: "Xie Ge is compassionate. ”

Before the words fell, a slap had already slapped him in the face, and the eunuch was defenseless, and was slapped in place by this ear scraper, and sat on the ground, his eyes were stunned.

The forbidden soldiers looked stupid, and they all opened their mouths wide, looking at Shen Ge Lao, who was turning his wrist there, and none of them stepped forward to help the eunuch guarding the door.

"This official has a waist card for entering and exiting the forbidden palace, and it must not be blocked unless the palace is forbidden or specially ordered" The silent and stern voice replied in the city gate cave: "Erjie is erected, and you dare to stop me, this slap is to make you have a long memory, if there is a next time, this official will definitely go up to the heavens to listen, let the emperor ruling" After speaking, he stepped into the inner palace under the eyes of the forbidden army.

When he walked away, the forbidden soldiers thought of helping his father-in-law up, thinking that he would definitely hate Shen Mo to death, but who knew that he caressed half of the pig's head, looked at Shen Mo's back affectionately and said: "Shen Ge is really kind......

The forbidden army said in their hearts, isn't it because they have been beaten to the brain......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shen Mo came to the outside of the Qianqing Palace, and Feng Bao greeted him with a smile: "The slave maid asked Shen Xiang to say goodbye, you returned to Beijing so early, and you thought you had to celebrate the New Year in the south." ”

Glancing at him silently, although this guy was forced to be calm, his cheeks were slightly flushed, and his breath was not very even, and he had just run back from outside. But he didn't break it, just said lightly: "Yes, it's an accident." ”

"Hehe, look at what you said......" Feng Bao smiled calmly: "The emperor has been talking about you, of course the slave maid hopes that you will come back as soon as possible." ”

"Really?" Shen Mo smiled and said: "I want to face the saint, I don't know if it's inconvenient?" ”

"It's convenient, it's a coincidence that you're here, the emperor is going to fast, and he will have to wait for seven days if he is half a day late." Feng Bao said with a smile: "The slave maid will go to Tongyu." He wanted to pluck himself out in a word, and he didn't break him silently, nodded, and waited for him to go through.

About a quarter of an hour later, Feng Bao Xuanjin.

In the Xinuan Pavilion, Emperor Longqing wore a winged crown on his head, wearing a dragon robe with a plate collar and wide sleeves, and greeted him excitedly, and smiled at Shen Mo, who had just entered the palace door: "Mr. came back this morning, which surprised me." ”

"Weichen see the emperor's ......" silently lifted the corners of his robe, then knelt on the ground and bowed to worship.

"Hurry up, there are no outsiders, no need to be polite." Long Qing actually stretched out his hand to help Shen Mo, so that Feng Bao on the side suddenly realized that he and that person were infatuated.

How could silence let Longqing help, take advantage of the situation, and the monarch and the minister went to sit on the kang in the room.

Long Qing leaned on the pillow of Ming Huang Sè and asked with a smile, "When will Mr. return to Beijing?" ”

"Go back to the emperor," Shen Mo put his little buttocks on the edge of the kang, and sat upright and said, "Half an hour to go to Beijing." ”

"Oh......" Long Qing said strangely, "So, as soon as you enter Beijing, you will come here?" ”

"Exactly." Shen Mo nodded.

"But what's the matter?" Long Qing was slightly nervous, this was too abnormal, if it weren't for something big, Master Shen wouldn't have been so anxious to see him: "Master, please speak." ”

"It's just a small thing." Shen nodded and said: "Weichen heard in the south that the emperor ordered Dongchang to escort Hu Zongxian, the former governor of the southeast, into Beijing, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

"Oh......" Long Qing scratched his forehead, thought about it, couldn't remember such a thing, and said to the outside world: "Feng Bao, have I ever sent Dongchang to arrest someone?" ”

"It seems that there is such a thing," Feng Bao is a spirit spirit, how can he provoke fire at this time, and hurriedly replied: "But the slave maid is not clear about the affairs of the East Factory, so let's invite Teng Xiang to ask." ”

"I remember," as soon as Teng Xiang said it, Long Qing remembered it and patted his forehead: "It seems that last month, the cabinet handed over a notebook, and the ticket was going to say: 'Forge the holy decree, regard it as an accomplice, and the company will immediately take it into Beijing. 'I ask you, who is in charge of this matter, you say Teng Xiang. ”

"It's better to remember long live, and the slave also remembered." Feng Bao hurriedly slapped himself and said, "It is indeed the slave who called Teng Xiang to come." ”

"What pig brains." The emperor smacked at him, and turned to Shen Mo and said, "What, what's wrong with this case?" ”

"What the case itself is, Weichen doesn't know, and he doesn't dare to say more." Shen Mo got up from the kang, bowed down and said: "Wechen wants to ask Your Majesty for forgiveness, Wechen has the courage to send the Jinyi Guard sent to me by Gongwei Si to escort Hu Zongxian all the way to Beijing." ”

"Oh......" the emperor said in surprise, "what are you related to?" ”

"One, he is Weichen's old boss and old comrade-in-arms." Shen Mo said softly: "Two, four years ago, Weichen was ordered to inspect the southeast, but in fact, he received a secret decree to remove him from military power. ”

"Is that so?" Long Qing knew that Shen Mo had been slightly southeast, but he didn't expect that there was such a layer in it, so he couldn't help but feel inquisitive and asked, "Why do you want to relieve him of military power?" ”

"Flying all the birds, hiding the good bow, this is the way for the monarch and the minister." Shen Mo said in a flat tone: "At that time, he was in charge of the soldiers of the six provinces, and his achievements were high, and he had become a hidden worry of the imperial court. After a pause, he said: "Besides, at that time, some officials attacked him as a strict party, saying that he was a fellow villager with Wang Zhi, Xu Hai and others, the leaders of the Haikou, and Jiang Zhou, Chen Keyuan and others were all Haikou. He also secretly released Wang Zhijie on the way to the capital, and Xu Hai was appointed as the coastal defense officer, and he swore to reconcile with Wang Zhi, lost his power and humiliated the country, and lost the face of his ancestors, which was exchanged for the so-called 'peace'...... It was determined that Hu Zongxian's so-called merits were just a farce directed and acted by himself and boasted about by relying on the high emperor of the sky, and there was no difference between him and Qiu Luan's generation. ”

"Yanguan is like this, a faction of pedantic words" The emperor frowned and said: "Master Shen said that time is the best touchstone. I see that the southeast is now tǐng good, the Japanese are gone, and the people are also living in peace. Wang Zhi and Xu Hai and others were also transformed into escorts on the sea, and they also sent troops to rescue Luzon for the imperial court, completely changed their minds and became new people; The prodigal son doesn't change his money. As he spoke, he waved his hand and gave Hu Zongxian a fixed sentence and said: "Those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements, Hu Zongxian has done a good job" Of course, he has to say okay, Xu Hai and Wang Zhi's 'royal escort' have already given this year's one million taels of filial piety, so that the emperor's purse will bulge.

Men, only with money can they have confidence, and the emperor is no exception. With money, he was able to fulfill the promise he had made a long time ago to buy jewelry for his concubines, and he didn't have to think about it anymore. In order to play what you want, how you want to play, and how to play, without looking at the face of the outer court. No matter what others think of Xu Hai and Wang Zhi, but in Longqing's eyes, that is the God of Wealth of Zhao Gong and the God of Wealth of Guan Gong, as long as they do not go ashore and harm the common people, the emperor still has to protect them.

In addition, Longqing was already tired of the official, and after listening to Shen Mo's account of the public case of the year, he subconsciously excused the parties.

"The emperor is wise." The silent sycophants remained at a low level, and said respectfully: "The first emperor said the same thing. The first emperor said in the original holy decree: "It is said that Hu Zongxian is attached to Yan Song, but in fact, he is not Yan Song's party, and he has been promoted to use him since he served in the imperial history, and it has been ** years." And I rewarded him for surrendering to the king, but if I add to the crime now, who will do things for me in the future? It would be nice to let him go home and stay idle. 'Not to blame Hu Zongxian for the past and ordered him to retire with dignity, this is exactly what the first emperor instructed Weichen, and Weichen also conveyed to him in this way. As a result, he also behaved very personoly, neither complained, nor made any requests, and was very cooperative to step down from his post with the secretary of the military department, and said that he was sick, so as to avoid a criticism of 'mistreating meritorious heroes' for the emperor and the imperial court. ”

After listening to the old things that Shen Mo recounted, Long Qing couldn't help but groan: "It's the Ming Dynasty who owes Hu Zongxian." ”

"If the matter stops here, Da Ming doesn't owe him," Shen Mo sighed and said: "Because Hu Zongxian's merits are certainly high, but there are indeed things wrong, merit is merit and demerit, and it cannot be offset." However, the first emperor forgave his sins and allowed him to retire, and he was rewarded for his merits. He said gloomily: "However, the minister never imagined that he would rise up again, and let the old brother who enjoyed his old age be imprisoned again, and he would suffer the humili......ation of being sent by the threshold of thousands of miles." I can't believe that in just four years, I ...... He ...... "At this point, tears rolled down my face, and I couldn't say it anymore."

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but it's not time to be sad. What's more, Master Shen, who has always appeared in Longqing's heart, has always appeared as wise, open-minded, and omnipotent......

Long Qing's eyes were red, and he pulled up and said silently without shoes: "Master Zhongyi, Jinyiwei is the one who should be sent, don't take this matter to heart." As he spoke, he twitched his sour nose and said in a low voice: "Hu Zongxian's matter is that of me Menglang, since the first emperor has already closed the coffin, I should not repeat it." I'm going to release them, and the teacher shouldn't be sad. ”

"No......" Shen Mo shook his head and said: "The emperor has a heavenly constitution in his mouth, and a golden mouth, how can he contradict himself?" ”

"Well, it's okay." Long Qing was very open-minded and said: "I, the emperor, how can I have any prestige? It's normal to repeat it for a while. ”

"The emperor's kindness is like the sea, and the micro-ministers are inscribed in the five, but compared to the emperor's prestige, the ministers and Hu Zongxian are just two courtiers, and they can't lose big because of the small." He hissed silently: "Weichen has not fulfilled his promise to Hu Zongxian, which is already unjust. If the emperor is betrayed again, Weichen is disloyal, disloyal and unjust, what face does he have to stand in the court? The minister asked the emperor to retract his order."

Listening to Shen Mo's words, Long Qing's eyes turned completely red, and he said infinitely in his heart: "This is the person who really thinks about me." He has lacked love since he was a child, so he cherishes care very much, and if others treat him well, he will repay him with ten, but he is an outlier in the ranks of emperors who are cold and thin...... The emperor of the Zhu family is more like a human, this sentence makes sense.

So seeing that the more Shen Mo thought about himself, the more he had to pay for Shen Mo, he insisted on waving his hand and said: "This matter has been decided, master don't say it again," and said to Feng Bao: "Fiction"

"If the emperor really wants to ...... like this" Shen Mo stretched out his hand to take off the black yarn on his head, sent it to the emperor with red eyes, and said resolutely: "Please ask the emperor to beat Weichen as a commoner first, never use it, and then pardon Hu Zongxian, otherwise it will not be enough to show the prestige of heaven and uphold the hearts of the people."

The monarch and the ministers were at a stalemate like this, and then Feng Bao came out and decomposed: "Your Majesty, since Shen Xiang is so resolute, he must have his thoughts, why don't you listen to it and talk about it?" ”

"Yes." Long Qing was a little embarrassed and said, "It's me jī moved, master get up quickly, let's sit down and talk." ”

Feng Bao hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Shen Mo, carefully picked up his official hat, wiped it with his sleeve, and offered it with both hands.

Shen Mo took it, didn't wear it, just held it in his hand, and said softly: "Weichen's original intention is by no means to violate the emperor's authority, so even if I hear that Hu Zongxian has been arrested and entered Beijing, I hope to pass the trial of the three law divisions, or return him to the white, or convict him." Wei Chen has already planned to accept any just result...... "Actually, this line was not like this originally, but those fools gave him the opportunity to clear himself, and of course Shen Mo had to modify it temporarily: "It's a big deal, I will go to Cao Difu to apologize to him." ”

"That's not good" Long Qing was frightened, but quickly reacted: "Then what happened that made the master have to change his mind?" ”

"Because ......" The silent eyes were full of hatred, anger and worry, and with his slightly distorted expression, his mood was vividly expressed: "Those Jinyi guards who protected Hu Zongxian came to report that the escort team had deviated from the official road in Shandong, and had rendezvous with the Yu Shi Wanlun and the Shandong Governor Hu Yanqing who had denounced him, in a remote place called Xia Town"——
