After some emotion, Xu Jie collected his feelings, and smiled at Shen Mo with a relieved face: "You have done a good job in the southeast, I am very pleased." ”

"It's caused a lot of trouble for the teacher." Shen Mo hurriedly said respectfully: "The student is very unhappy

Go.

"Hey," Xu Jie shook his head and said, "It's just a little effort, and besides, I didn't help you much." After a pause, he added: qu; Last year, those officials attacked you, which surprised the old man, and it was too late to remedy it, so you were wronged. ”

"The teacher is serious," Shen Mo smiled and said, "Although you are the first, you can't care about that."

What does the official say, not to mention that if you don't have the town, how can those people give up.

"Good, good ......" Xu Jie was very pleased with Shen Mo's reasonableness, and his eyes were a little complicated and said: "You are very good, you really ......" His subtext was ambiguous and difficult to understand, and Shen Mo didn't understand, so he had to be humble casually - two sentences.

Fortunately, Xu Jie only sighed by himself, and he didn't mean to understand it at all, and after a little distraction, he smiled and said: "It's good to be back, I have been feeling alone for a long time, and I have been looking forward to your coming back for a long time." ”

Shen Mo didn't know if he was true or fake, so he just perfunctory with him with the Shunfeng Banner, until Xu Ge Lao asked: "I just went to Shengshou Palace, what did the emperor tell you?" ”

"I didn't say anything," Shen Mo said in a low voice: "The emperor has gone mad, and he will return in three sentences."

Shugen JL"

"Yes, eleven, eleven, eleven" Xu Jie nodded and said="The emperor has become more and more moody in the past two years) absurd and dim, and our courtiers need to be more energetic and reluctant...... "Otherwise, this Daming, what hope is there?" ”

I didn't expect him to be so pessimistic, and said in a silent voice: "With a teacher, the world will be chaotic."

Finish.

"Well, even if I'm covered in iron, how many nails can I hit?" Xu Jie shook his head and said: "What's more, the bureaucrats have their own ghosts, and if the country is in turmoil, Jin still doesn't want to unite sincerely, and he still stabs me in the back and digs the foot of the wall, which is really chilling......

Shen Mo knew that he was talking about Gao Gong, but since he had made up his mind not to get involved in the struggle between the two, of course he kept silent and pretended not to understand.

Xu Jie would not let him go like this, and simply said: "Yesterday, a brocade guard decompressed Renfu and returned to Beijing, and sent him to prison for torture, have you heard of this?" Liu Tao's character Renfu is with Sichuan, and Xu Jie only calls his words but not his name, indicating the intimate relationship between Liu Tao and himself.

Shen Mo looked surprised and said, "This friend-fast? ”

"Someone is secretly pressuring, can it be done if you are not happy?" Xu Jie said coldly: "Gao Suqing is very majestic now, and Jinyiwei also has to buy his face." He seized on Renfu's mistake and was ready to make a big fuss about it!"

Listening silently, Gao Gong's move is indeed very good, because Liu Tao is Xu Jie's henchman, who is in charge of the military power of Ji Town outside, and is in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate for him inside...... You must know that Liu Tao is Ji Liao, the governor of the imperial history of the left capital, and he may go back at any time, so before the tea is cold, the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are particularly merciful to Xu Dang.

If you let Shen Mo say it, Xu Jie's mistake lies in the lack of greed. Since he knows the importance of Liu Tao, he shouldn't be sent out to take charge of the troops again, doesn't this increase the risk of him having an accident? Of course, it's too late to say anything now, he understands Xu Jie's painful mood at the moment, and empathizes with a group of people: "Pity Liu Daichuan, who is both civil and military, and has a wise life, and he fell into such a field in a daze." After a pause, he said, "Teacher, what do you think we can do to rescue him?" ”

Xu Jie slowly turned his head after hearing this, leaned back on the back of the chair, shook his head expressionlessly, and said, "Although Renfu was wronged, he couldn't save it." ”

"Why is that?" Shen Mo asked with a puzzled expression.

"Gao Gong seems to be upright, but he is calculating in his heart," Xu Jie said slowly: "He dares to attack Liu Tao directly in front of the emperor, but in fact, the target is always me." As he spoke, his eyes became gloomy and said: "I know, he just thought that I would definitely be rescued, which would inevitably cause the emperor to be unhappy, so he splashed the basin of dirty water on me smoothly." ”

Shen Mo felt that Xu Jie's analysis made sense, but he still expressed his worries: "Everyone knows the relationship between Master Liu and the teacher, if you stand by and watch, won't you let those people have a place to chew their tongues?" ”

"This is the insidious part of the high arch," Xu Jie shook his head helplessly, and sighed:

"If you save it, you will offend the emperor, and if you don't save it, you will offend your colleagues. In a humble way, such a situation

Now, do you want to come up with the best way to get two offenses? ”

Shen Mo thought about it, and said in a low voice: "It seems that you can only lose the car to protect the handsome." ”

Xu Jie said in a sad whisper: "If you lose my old handsome, you can save Renfu's big car, why don't I let it out?" He sighed deeply and said, "The problem is that the set designed by others is to serve our grandfather in one pot." "It's all nonsense, and I'm still going to give up Liu Tao.

Shen Mo understood Xu Jie's intentions, although he could understand him, he still felt a little cold, it seemed that in the heart of this old shoufu, as long as he could keep himself, anyone could abandon him...... And of course, myself. But he seriously comforted Xu Jie: "The struggle in the political arena and the battlefield are actually the same, not fighting for a time and a place, and the one who has the last laugh is the winner; I had to grieve Lord Liu first, as long as the teacher can sit firmly in Diaoyutai, he will always make a comeback

of the day.

"I hope so." Xu Jie's expression relaxed a lot, and he smiled at Shen Mo: "Clumsy."

Say, you don't think the old man is cold, do you? ”

"It's not that the teacher is cold." Shen Mo hurriedly said respectfully: "It's the political struggle that is too cruel. ”

"Yes......" Xu Jie nodded empathetically =qu; I am a Tanhua in the second year of Jiajing, and it has been more than 40 years since I entered the political arena, and I have experienced all the turmoil of the Jiajing Dynasty, and I can be regarded as having some Taoism ......" said to Shen Mo in a serious tone = "Humble words, I have a feeling that another storm is coming." ”

Shen Mo hurriedly said, "Please ask the teacher for guidance." ”

"Hehe......" Xu Jieshu smiled: "Relax, let others be nervous, you just need to watch the fire from the other side." Saying that, he glanced at him and said, "Didn't you go back to Beijing to recuperate, then go home and rest, just stay out of the matter, and then come back when the results come out." ”

Shen Mo's heart moved, and he finally confirmed that among the forces that had always wanted to keep himself away from the capital, Xu Jie was indeed in it, at least to add fuel to the fire. But the old man is so high that you can't figure out if this is for your own good, or if he wants to harm you...... High, it's really high, it's like being raped, although I know that I have been beaten many times, but I can't describe it once.

However, Xu Jie's arrangement also coincided with Shen Mo's plan, and he saved a lot of saliva, so he nodded obediently and said, "Students listen to the teacher." Then he asked with concern, "Then how should the teacher respond?" ”

Seeing him so deferential, Xu Jie was very happy, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, he has a good plan, we have a wall ladder, Gao Suqing wants to play with the old man, and there are still five hundred years of practice." ”

"That's good, that's good......" Shen said with a long sigh.

It was already time to eat, and Xu Jieliu silently ate a light meal in Zhiluben. After dinner, the former returned to the duty room to continue working, while the latter left Xiyuan, preparing to go home to catch up on sleep...... I didn't sleep last night, and when I was eating with Xu Jie, he almost fell asleep.

He didn't even wait to get home, so he ordered the pace outside to slow down, silently took off his official hat, closed his eyes and stared at him in a daze, and soon he was lightly drunk. Who knew that when he saw Zhou Gong just now, before he played chess, he felt that he was being hit on the head, and he was silent in pain, and he woke up with Venus in his eyes, and it turned out that the sedan chair suddenly stopped, and in a daze, his head hit the sedan wall.

Hu Yong's scolding voice sounded outside: "Dare to disrupt the people, dare to disturb the official sedan chair, take it quickly!" But it was immediately drowned in the noise of people.

Shen Mo rubbed his hot forehead while listening intently, there seemed to be many people outside, and they were all emotional, as if something was happening. Then he bared his teeth and put on his official hat, and when his expression returned to his majesty, he opened the curtain of the sedan car and looked out, only to see that there were many people in front of him, and the smell of gunpowder was full, and more than a dozen guards drew their swords together to protect the sedan chair. Shen Mo asked in a low voice, "Hu Yong, what's going on?" ”

"I don't know if it's small." Hu Yong hurriedly turned around and said, "I'll disperse them." ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward with his sword.

"Don't come nonsense." Shen Mo had already seen clearly, and the people who came up were all ordinary people in short clothes, mostly old and young, women and children, all of whom were sad and frightened, supporting each other and stumbling, until they wanted to pass through the sedan chair of Ben Guan......

▲ Stupid thing!' Shen Mo scolded secretly, this is not in the southeast, Beijing City is not a place to spread wild, so he shouted in a low voice, stopped Hu Yong, and shouted in a low voice: "Come forward and ask the reason, and make trouble for me!"

Hu Yong was originally a clever person, but he hadn't changed his role when he first entered the capital, so the adult's scolding immediately sobered up, immediately put away the knife, walked in front of those people and said: "What's the matter, stop my lord's sedan chair?" ”

"Please go and save people, sir." An old man in the front, wearing a half-new green cloth robe, with his hair scattered and scars on his face, said with a panicked face: "If it's too late, they will kill people......

Hearing this, Shen Mo had no choice but to get out of the sedan chair. When the guards saw this, they hurried to protect him.

Shen Mo whispered, "Get out of the way!" Let these guys stay away, and ordered Hu Yong to take someone to check it out. He said to the old man with a pleasant face: "Old man, if there is anything to say, this official will make the decision for you." In fact, at this time, he had already seen that there were officials from the Shuntian Mansion and soldiers patrolling the city at the mouth of the alley, and it was obvious that the matter was not small. Although I don't want to cause trouble, I must not drop the chain at this time, otherwise the image will be completely ruined.

The old man saw that he was so young, but the big red official robe on his body couldn't be faked, and he knew that the imperial master had not deceived him, so he poured beans into a bamboo tube and told him what had happened.

It turned out to be because of the Yuzhi altar! It is said that Wang Jin and others received the emperor's order, so they pretended to survey around in the capital, returned to the emperor half a month later, and drew it on the map of the capital, starting from the eighteenth half street in the north and reaching the firewood lane in the south; From Taichang Hutong in the east to the four Hutongs of the Neicheng River in the west, it is a feng shui treasure for the construction of Yuzhi Palace. Jiajing approved it without hesitation and ordered Wang Jin to work with the Ministry of Industry to start construction as soon as possible.

However, these four alleys are densely populated, and if you want to build a large number of buildings, you must first let the original residents move. But the Ministry of Industry will issue compensation conditions, and no one will accept it

The more than 200 households that came here did not have a salary when the deadline given by the imperial court arrived. Early this morning, the officials of Shuntian Mansion broke in like wolves and ordered them all to go out before noon, otherwise they would be forcibly helped to move.

The people were helpless, so they could only treat it with indifference, saying in their hearts that at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the government did not dare to be too presumptuous, but who knew that this time it was miscalculated. This time the government was not only presumptuous, but also presumptuous, and at noon, they competed to push the besieging city of Yu-'s mallet cart into the alley!

It is not a battlefield, and there are no enemy soldiers, in front of the battering ram, it is the shelter of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that the alley was full of soldiers with knives and guns, as well as those terrifying big guys, the people were convinced that the government was really here this time, and they were completely scared, kneeling in front of the officers and soldiers, and their faces were full of scorching - and anxious!

Everyone looked at the few officials standing in the middle of the soldiers, these people were not of high grade, the highest was the fifth grade, but at this moment, they had become the masters of the fate of the people.

These officials came from the Shuntian Mansion and the Ministry of Industry respectively, among which Wang Siqi in the Shuntian Mansion and Langzhong Zhou Defu of the Ministry of Industry were the leaders. This kind of confrontation is simply suffocating, and the two five-rank officials scolded their respective bosses in their hearts, they didn't dare to come forward, and they wanted to let us be elected villains.

The two of them were under a lot of psychological pressure, but seeing that the figure on the ground was getting longer and longer, and the deadline given by the boss had passed, no one dared to give this fatal order. In the middle of the anxiety, I suddenly heard a commotion at the mouth of the alley, only to see the officers and soldiers separated from the left and right, and a four-person official sedan chair was carried in from the mouth of the alley, and the front led the way was a pair of large yellow lanterns, and the front was decorated with four large characters of red velvet Lishu: 'Qin Ming Alchemy'...... Needless to say, the culprit is here.

Seeing the official sedan chair falling, Wang Siqi and Zhou Defu hurriedly stepped forward, bent their waists and eagerly opened the curtain of the sedan chair, only to see a middle-aged man with a golden Zhongjing crown on his head, wearing a gold-rimmed black Shu silk robe, holding a golden whisk, not a Taoist, a monk, a Confucian, or a businessman, sitting in it with a gloomy face...... It's like everyone owes him eight hundred dollars.

This person is the royal house that ordered the emperor to build the Yuzhi altar, although he did not appear in the morning, but he has been sending his disciples and grandchildren to come over to investigate, who knows that at noon, there is still no movement, he finally couldn't help but come to the scene in person, squinted his eyes and looked outside, and asked knowingly: "Have they moved?" ”

Wang Siqi sighed and said: "Alas, these scoundrels are unwilling to fight, and we have no choice."

Wang Jinpi snorted without smiling: "You two don't want to be this villain, right?" The two hurriedly denied it, and updated the full text as soon as possible every day. Wang Jin didn't listen to them at all, and said with a dark face: "Don't eat lard and be heartbroken, today is the deadline, if the emperor is delayed, the Yuzhi Altar can't start construction as scheduled, can you afford to be guilty?" ”

The two of them only promised, and they didn't dare.

"Useless stuff! I'm blind in this official uniform!" Wang Jin reprimanded contemptuously, and after he developed, he was especially willing to train people. Especially in the training of these non-commissioned officers, I feel that there is nothing more exciting than this. scolded the two of them to the point of blood, and then he said fiercely: "Toast and don't eat and drink, if they don't move, let's do it!"

Wang Siqi sighed secretly, and had no choice but to order: "Do it!"

The huge battering ram slammed into the wall, and in a single moment the wall collapsed with a loud bang

And the cries of the people rang out.

In the midst of the crying, people were horrified to find an old man running desperately to the battering ram, he desperately stretched out his hands, and pressed his body against the wall, as if to protect his only dwelling. But his figure in front of the huge battering ram is too small, like a mantis arm as a car, which can only brew a tragedy.

"There's no way to survive anyway, just let them crush to death!" A young man roared angrily and leaped forward, and rushed to the old man as if flying. "The sky has no eyes!" More and more young people ran to his side, and in front of the old man, they formed a human wall.

The battering ram was still advancing, and it was less than a foot away from the human wall composed of flesh and blood, and the soldiers who were driving the car were nervous, and their eyes were all looking at the officers behind them, and the speed of their advance naturally slowed down.

The officer's face and hands were covered with sweat, and although he had also oppressed the people, he had never thought about it.

There will be a day when I will kill my father and fellow villagers with my own hands.

Without waiting for him to give the order, the battering ram stopped a little bit from the human wall......

Wang Siqi and Zhou Defu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, only Wang Jin got off the sedan chair angrily and scolded: "Waste! A bunch of rubbish!" He ordered in a screaming voice: "Arrest these Diao people, arrest them all!" A group of officials rushed over with chains and rulers, but the people knew that if they were pulled away, the battering rams would tear down their homes again, so they swore to die, and the two sides first pushed and shoved, and then scuffled together......

There was chaos in the alley, the situation was out of control, some women, children and old people ran out, just saw a high-ranking official's sedan chair passing by, and there was a scene of stopping the driver in front of him to ask for help......

Partition -^-

It's time to go to work, roar, it's been a busy year......
