Chapter 593: The Big-Eared Thief
There is no Yidian in the West Garden. Cabinet of Ministers in the Auxiliary Duty Room.
Xu Jie admitted to Shen Mo that it was very difficult to save Shen Lian.
Silent said, 'What is going to be easy these days?' He said softly: "What if I go directly to the emperor?" Will there be hope? "Judging from past experience, Jiajing still eats his set.
Xu Jie shook his head and whispered, "Your Majesty is ...... now How to put it, there are some moodiness, and if you rashly face the saint, the consequences are difficult to predict......"
"Time waits for no one." Shen Mo whispered: "Students can only take risks. ”
Xu Jie looked at the silent and resolute face, knowing that he had made up his mind, so he lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and when he raised his head, he actually said with a hideous face: "If you really want to do it, you can only do it without doing it." When he said this, Shen Mo felt murderous!
was silent for a moment, but he didn't expect that Mr. Xu, who was like swallowing water, would have such a beastly side, and couldn't help but whisper: "What do you do?" ”
"Raise a monstrous case and pull Yang Shun, Lu Kai, and even Xu Lun and others down!" Xu Jieyi waved his hand and said: "Sweep away these scourges and re-consolidate my northern Ming Dynasty!" ”
Shen Mo was a little stunned, but he had Huigen after all. In a blink of an eye, he understood what Xu Jie meant, and said softly: "What does the teacher mean, you have to exaggerate things to a certain extent in order to attract Your Majesty's attention?" ”
"No, you're wrong." Xu Jie shook his head and said, "There is no need to exaggerate at all!" Ever since I got the materials you gave me, I have started to investigate the matter and found that the situation is even worse than I thought...... Because the focus of the imperial court in the southeast in recent years, the northern Xinjiang has been somewhat relaxed, the situation there has been extremely corrupt, from the army to the government, from the government to the people, have deteriorated to a great extent, if it does not arouse vigilance, it will not take ten years, I will be the Ming Dynasty to operate a hundred years of nine border defense line, will collapse, at that time, the Beijing division has no support, but to move there is no other way to go. Said with a smile: "You have been Su Song's parent official, you should know that my Songjiang folk customs have a characteristic, which is 'fear of the first thing', afraid of being this rafter......"
Shen Mo smiled and said, "Actually, it's not true. ”
"No, old man admit, I really don't like to be this rafter." Xu Jie shook his head and said in a deep voice: "But this time, I am duty-bound!" ”
Shen Mo felt the terrifying power hidden in Xu Jie's short body. I couldn't help but be in awe: "The students follow the teacher's arrangement. ”
"Are the materials still there?" Xu Jie nodded.
"It's still there, it was all with me." Shen Mo said: "Take it with you." ”
"Very good," Xu Jie said, "You go to Yuxi Palace to ask the emperor and present those materials." According to the line of thought that I just said, accuse Yang Shun and others of criminal responsibility, emphasizing that they wanted to kill Shen Lian because they were afraid of crime. Shen Mo nodded, indicating that he understood, and listened to Xu Jie: "Remember, our target this time is Yang Shun, Lu Kai, and Xu Lun, if we can eradicate these people, the border town can be cleared." But it is absolutely not allowed to involve Yan Ge Lao and Xiao Ge Lao, otherwise they will fall into the quagmire of party contention again, and finally it will be over. ”
Mo nodded solemnly and asked, "Then how to arrange it?" ”
"You just have to complain and complain," Xu Jie said: "The rest of the matter belongs to me." Saying that, he said worriedly: "What are you going to do, in case you disobey the emperor, or let the emperor think that the two are colluding, it will be very bad." ”
"Teacher, please rest assured, students have their own opinions!" Heroic images flashed in front of Shen Mo's eyes - Sun Wukong made trouble in the Lingxiao Palace, Zhu Bajie broke into his daughter's country at night, and Li Xiangyang entered the city to blow up the arms. Walter's defense of Sarajevo was so courageous that he resolutely left the Wuyi Palace and went to the Yuxi Palace.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yuxi Palace, self-respecting and refined.
In all directions around the room, there is a bronze lampholder in the shape of a crane, the slender and long crane beak is a candle holder, and a white candle with a thick arm is inserted, the candlelight flickering, the light smoke is wafting and curling, and the candle flame sometimes bursts out with a crisp sound, which is very mysterious.
In the middle of the candle, there is a round sitting table covered with bright yellow futons, on which sits cross-legged a thin old man wearing a cotton dark flower nine-dragon robe and gray hair, which is the Supreme of the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor of Loyalty and Filial Piety, His Majesty the Emperor Jiajing, but seeing that his eye sockets are deeply sunken, and the corners of his mouth are also deeply wrinkled, there is already a tendency to be old.
Although he was pulled back from the ghost gate by Li Shizhen, the erysipelas in his body for many years still greatly damaged his health, but Emperor Jiajing paranoidly rejected the doctor's advice and continued to be fanatical about his great cause of Zhaijiao.
Of course, Li Shizhen's words are not completely useless, at least the emperor has stopped using pills indiscriminately, and will devote more time and energy. Immerse yourself in meditation and practice.
In the past, after meditating and meditating, Jiajing would enter a mysterious state, as if there was nectar from heaven, washing away all the noise and filth in the world, leaving only an empty silence in his heart, incomparably clear, which made him fascinated and persevering.
But recently, I don't know what's going on, I can't settle down anymore, my heart is full of noisy sounds, my eyes are filled with black smoke and miasma, and the figures are longing, and for a while it's Cao Duanfei and Yang Jinying; For a while, it was Xia Yan and Zeng Milling; One moment it was Yang Sheng'an, and the other time it was Lu Wenming...... These men and women who had hurt him, or who had been hurt by him, and who had eventually become dry bones, seemed to have risen from their tombs, surrounded him all day long, and as soon as they closed their eyes, they would come out and pester him, cry at him, laugh at him, and never let him go!
The more he tried to be quiet and abandon the illusion, he became distraught and finally couldn't bear it anymore. Suddenly raised his head and let out a wild roar: "Ah......"
The roar seemed to tremble so much that it shook slightly, and it spread throughout the palace in an instant, making the palace people silent, and they all shrank their shoulders and backs, lest they cause trouble.
Huang Jin, who was also frightened outside, was at a loss. Recently, the emperor is too difficult to serve, he is cautious, flattering, not less trained, the board has been eaten a few times, I actually miss Chen Honglai, who is still squatting and confinement, and said in my heart that if this guy is here. I can finally share half of it.
Thinking about it, I didn't dare to slow down, so I went in, opened the copper incense burner, took out a warm purple clay pot from it, tried the water temperature was just right, and said with a cute face: "Master, please use tea." "Jiajing was in a hurry, his mouth was dry, he naturally wanted to drink tea, last time Huang Jin was scolded by the emperor because he was one step slower, and because the tea was too hot, he was spanked, this time I remember it clearly.
Jiajing reclined on the futon, took the ancient iron-like purple clay pot, took a heavy breath, and exhaled a mouthful of turbidity, his face looked better, and he didn't look at Huang Jindao: "Who's outside?" ”
"Oh, master, you are really God." Huang Jin stretched out his thumb and said, "You can hear it from so far away!" ”
"Hmph, who the hell is it?" Jiajing hated and said: "Crying and crying, the noise makes me uneasy." ”
"Yes......" Huang Jin glanced at the emperor in fear and whispered, "It's Lord Shen." He prayed secretly that he would not be beaten like himself.
"That bastard boy ......" Fortunately, there was still a little thin face in silence, Jiajing didn't have a seizure, but just snorted: "What are you doing?" ”
"This ......" Huang Jin said carefully: "The slave doesn't know either, anyway, she came with a crying nose and said that she asked to see the emperor." ”
"Still crying?" Jiajing liked Huang Jin's simple playfulness, and when he heard this, his face softened slightly: "Call him in." ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Huang Jin went out for a while, then came in with silence, after the big salute, Jiajing asked him to raise his head and look, heh, his eyes cried like two peaches, this is really rare, and he couldn't help but say in a good mood: "What's going on?" Who did you bully? ”。
Shen Mo grinned when he heard this, but he didn't say anything yet. The tears came down again, and I quickly lowered my head, and I couldn't stop inhaling hard.
Seeing that he was crying like a tearful man, Jiajing wondered: "What's so sad?" ”
Shen Mo just burst into tears, and he didn't answer, Jiajing had been angry recently, and suddenly burst out: "Don't cry!" What the hell is going on?! ”
Shen Mo was obedient, he forcibly stopped his tears, sucked his snot back, looked at Emperor Jiajing with his eyes like rabbits, and sobbed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, my master is going to be killed......
"What?" Jiajing was also shocked and said, "What happened to Xu Jie?" ”
"It's not Xu Ge Lao, it's Weichen's mentor." Shen Mo said: "Shen Lian Shen Qingxia." ”
"Shen Lian?" Jiajing frowned and recalled, "I seem to have heard of this name." The next moment he suddenly said: "It's the guy who insulted Yan Ge in the book, right?" What's wrong with him with less words? ”
Shen Mo cried and said: "My master lives in Baoan Prefecture, and I agreed to enter Kouying Prefecture last year, and I have more than 40 forts, but Yang Shun, the governor of Xuanda, is afraid of the enemy and is afraid of the enemy, and he does not dare to send a single arrow to the captive Kou. After I retreated, he was afraid that he would miss the opportunity to be investigated, so he actually set up arsonists to kill soldiers and civilians, and took his head to lie about his war exploits! The patrol was also bribed by him and helped him hide it from the court. ”
Jiajing's face was gloomy, and he pursed his lips and listened to Shen Mo continue: "Although my teacher is white, he does not forget his loyalty, seeing that the two thieves of Yang Lu are so frustrated, blinded the saints, they can't help but burn inside, go straight to the governor's mansion to face the Yang thief, and compose a memorial to the dead!" He also collected the testimonies of thousands of people and sent them to the capital to sue these two fangs! The two thieves of Yang Lu naturally hated him, and even falsely accused our division of conspiring with the White Lotus Sect, put him in prison in the Governor's Palace, and fabricated a confession to submit it to the Criminal Department for approval, and wanted to get rid of my division and then ...... quickly" said and fell to the ground and cried.
"If you cry again, get out!" Jiajing roared impatiently, but fortunately, he didn't want to think elsewhere, and said in a deep voice: "What you said, I remembered that I had killed a few White Lotus Sect disciples in the morning, and there was such a person named Shen Lian. ”
Silent and silent: "Your Majesty, you can't unjustly kill a good person......
"Presumptuous!" Jiajing snorted and said, "How can I listen to your words? ”
"Wechen is not a one-sided statement." Shen Mo held a stack of thick papers in his hand and handed it to Huang Jindao: "This is a joint letter from thousands of people in Xuanda, please ask the emperor to read it." ”
Huang Jin sent the stack of paper to Jiajing, Jiajing picked up a sheet, and looked at the content written on it, which was exactly the same as what Shen Mo said, but it was more detailed, and he turned a few pages casually, and saw that the paper behind him was covered with dense red fingerprints, which shocked him.
After a moment of silence, the emperor asked softly, "Who is on duty in the cabinet?" "The matter involves the governor of Xuanda, and on the other hand, there is this heavy joint letter, he can't express his position easily, and he must consult with the scholars.
In fact, this is also the original intention of Zhu Yuanzhang to set up a university scholar back then.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Xu Jie's understanding of Jiajing was definitely more than silence, and he accurately foresaw this summons. So when the eunuch came to invite, he unhurriedly dressed and went to Yuxi Palace.
After bowing, Jiajing was flattened, and Xu Jie stood up and saw the silence on the opposite side with his head bowed.
Jiajing's gaze wandered between Xu Jie and Shen Mo, seeing that Shen Mo was worried in his heart, and cold sweat broke out on his back, but Xu Jie was very calm and peaceful.
After a long time, Jiajing Fang asked coldly, "Does the Pavilion Elder know what I am calling you?" ”
"Back to the emperor." Xu Jie bowed down and replied: "Weichen is arrogant, it is the prince of the country who is silent, and he has come to you to complain." The emperor was worried about the border pass and took pity on the people, so he summoned his ministers to inquire. "Sycophants come and go without a trace, but anytime, anywhere, what a master!
"You know how not to stop him?" Jiajing's gaze shrouded Xu Jie, as if he wanted to see through the depths of his heart and said, "Could it be that he came to cry, and it was also your idea?" ”
"He came to you to cry too?" Xu Jie was stunned and said: "What a dog's heart! Saying that, he quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "He did look for Weichen, but Weichen asked him to go back first, saying that he would definitely show the emperor, find out about the matter, and give him an explanation...... Originally, when he planned to do something tomorrow, he explained it to the emperor, but he actually came directly! He shook his head angrily and said, "How unreasonable, how unreasonable!" ”
Seeing Xu Jie kneeling, Shen Mo hurriedly followed and cried: "Elder Ge forgives me, the student can't wait for tomorrow, you must know that my poor teacher has fallen into the clutches of Yang Shun for three days, and if you delay for a while, it may be a goodbye ......" He said and kowtowed to Jiajing: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with Elder Xu Ge, it is indeed a criminal who has made an assertion, please punish the emperor!" This is the reason why he has been crying, without the previous emotional foreshadowing, and now suddenly taking the pathetic route will make the emperor feel that he is acting...... It's like now, crying and crying, the emperor is used to crying, so he clears out Xu Ge Lao very smoothly, otherwise how can he help himself speak.
When doing things like chess, the master thinks a few more moves.
"Cry, cry, cry, know to cry!" Jiajing was almost annoyed by the silence, and said angrily: "If you cry again, you will be rewarded with twenty court staffs!" ”
Shen Mo quickly covered his mouth, not daring to make another sound.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The silent crying strategy worked, Jiajing really no longer doubted Xu Jie, and asked slowly: "Xu Qingjia, have you seen that paper?" ”。
"Wechen has seen it." Xu Jie nodded slightly.
"How's it going to be for the senses?" Jiajing asked.
"The stakes are so great that you can't see or hear it, and you can't make assumptions about it." Xu Jie said in a deep voice: "Actually, Weichen has already heard about this matter, and he has already checked the relevant documents to investigate this matter, and now Shen Xijiu has brought it up, and Weichen is preparing to write a chapter overnight, and the preliminary results will be presented to the emperor." "Meaning, that's why I'm only reporting tomorrow.
Jiajing glanced at it and said silently: "Learn more, what does it mean to be old-minded...... Your teacher Shen can't teach you. ”
Shen Mo knew that the emperor was in the palace, and he was happy in his heart, but he was still submissive on his face, and he couldn't stop sobbing.
"How did you check it?" Jiajing asked Xu Jiedao again.
"It's not optimistic...... Xu Jie sighed lightly: "In recent years, the strategy of the imperial court has been tilted to the southeast, and it is inevitable that the requirements and support for the nine sides have been relaxed. At first, Yang Bo was in charge, and the situation could be maintained. But two years ago, Yang Boding was worried, Yang Shun took office, the situation began to deteriorate, the border generals became more and more degenerate, the Tartars became more and more arrogant, the frontier was trampled on, and the people fell back into misery...... Last year alone, the number of times the Japanese invaded was the sum of the previous five years, but this year, instead of subsidence, it has intensified, and the iron hooves of the Mongols can be seen everywhere from east to west, and their aggression is actually showing the trend of burning the prairies! Wei Chen browsed through the southeast chapters, only to see a series of urgent documents like snowflakes, but the strange thing is that the specific battle reports are so rare that it is difficult to find, only a few occasional documents, but far less than one of the ten in the emergency. ”
"Why is that?" Jiajing was puzzled.
"The explanation of the military department is that there was no fighting." Xu Jiedao: "It is caused by excessive tension on the front line. ”
"Nonsense." Jiajing said in disbelief: "Could it be that the Tartars are playing with our Tibetan cats?" ”。
"The Emperor Shengming!" Xu Jie's flattery said: "Weichen didn't believe it either, so he used other methods to indirectly investigate this matter!" ”
"What's the method?" Jiajing asked curiously.
"Wechen has secretly checked the appointment of the civil officials of the Nine Sides for nearly two years." Xu Jiedao: "I also checked the hereditary record of the officers and soldiers of the Ministry of War, and through these two figures, we can get the death of the border army and even the civilian and military generals, and then correspond to those emergency documents, and we can also get the real losses of our side every time the Tartars attack." ”
"The elder has a heart." Jiajing nodded approvingly and asked softly, "What is the result?" ”
"Shocking!" Xu Jie spit out four words.

I didn't watch the game today, but I was busier than watching the game, and I was dizzy......
