Chapter 90: The Storm in the Capital II

"A few days ago, Ouyang Jingzhi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate suddenly took the lead in impeaching Lord Gao when he was on duty in the cabinet last year, and often went home for the night regardless of official business, saying that his old man was greedy for beauty and did not do official business." Shi Bing was sitting there narrating to Shen Chongming what had happened during his absence in the capital.

Shen Chongming knows this question, the teacher is over half a hundred years old and has no heirs under his knees, and there is a way to be unfilial and unfilial, can he not be in a hurry?

"This kind of thing is just a trivial matter, and the teacher won't be so passive now, right?" Shen Chongming was puzzled, the teacher relied on the relationship with the emperor's teachers and students, and it was impossible for this thing to do anything to him.

"Brother Shen, you don't know, Ouyang Jingzhi is the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate can be regarded as his head, just after he impeached Lord Gao on the first day, the Metropolitan Procuratorate handed over nearly 100 impeachment folds on the second day, and these days, the supervision of the imperial history that has been patrolling all over the country has also participated, and the excerpts of the impeachment of Lord Gao are flying all over the sky every day, although it is a small matter, but it has caused such a big movement, it has become a big thing, it is said that the emperor is overwhelmed by these twists and turns every day, and he has lost his temper many times."

"It doesn't make sense, don't all of this fold have to go through the cabinet, as long as they review it first, they will pick up important things and submit them to the emperor, how can such a boring thing run to the emperor?" Shen Chongming was even more puzzled, the teacher was on an errand in the cabinet, and he had a close relationship with the cabinet minister Guo, so the two joined forces to intercept some of it.

"Brother Shen, this reflects the importance of Xu Ge Lao, it is said that Ouyang Jingzhi put all these twists and turns together, and handed them directly to Xu Ge Lao without going through the cabinet, and Xu Ge Lao handed it to the emperor without dropping, and Gao couldn't see it at all." Shi Bingzheng said helplessly, he had just been promoted by Gao Gong to the official position of Wailang from the Liupin Rite Department, even if he didn't count the relationship between Shen Chongming, he and Gao Gong also had an incense relationship.

"It's Xu Jie, so it seems that Ouyang Jingzhi, an old thing, impeached the teacher, must have been instructed by him." Shen Chongming said a little angrily, for Xu Jie, he hated the root of his teeth.

"Yes, this incident was caused by the festival between Master Gao and Elder Xu Ge." Shi Bingzheng nodded, and then said, "Brother Shen, junior brother tell the truth, don't blame you, Master Gao is not open-minded, and he can't tolerate things in his heart, and the rumors on the Yamen Street are because he first couldn't get used to Xu Ge Lao monopolizing power, and he quarreled with Xu Ge Lao in the cabinet, and the contradictions became deeper and deeper, and I heard that the emperor persuaded him several times to no avail. ”

Shen Chongming also knows his teacher, although he is kind, he always has to bring up things that he is not used to, and it is very intense. Now that the new emperor is on the throne, he is highly respected by the emperor as the emperor's mentor, and it is inevitable that he will be arrogant, Xu Jie's monopoly on power, he will definitely feel uncomfortable, if there is no contradiction, then he is not a teacher he knows.

Seeing that Shen Chongming was silent, Shi Bingzheng sighed and continued: "The matter is getting bigger and bigger, although the matter of the impeachment of Lord Gao by the Metropolitan Procuratorate was quite big, it will not make him lose his square inch. It's just that Master Gao was angry and impeached several officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in one go, and the emperor all of them were demoted or demoted. This time I stabbed the big basket, and the affairs of the seven aunts and eight aunts were all involved in them. Even other officials who originally did not comment also felt that Gao was a bit of a bully, and now that the DPRK and China are in a general situation, Gao is isolated and helpless. ”

"Alas, it's self-defeating." Hearing this, Shen Chongming couldn't help but have a headache, now the teacher can be regarded as a public enemy of the whole people, even if the emperor wants to defend him, there is nothing he can do, after all, compared to the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, the weight of the teacher is still lighter, and it is very likely that the emperor will persuade him to go home to recuperate for a period of time, and then go out of the mountain when things calm down.

"Yes, there are so many foul words that Master Gao can't stand it, and he has submitted two resignations in a row these days. Although he was rejected by the emperor, in my opinion, he was absolutely unwilling and irretrievable. Shi Bingzheng looked at Shen Chongming with some worry, once Gao Gong really left the dynasty and returned to his hometown, he was afraid that Brother Shen, who was his disciple, would not have a good time in the future.

Shen Chongming sighed and said to himself: "It's okay to go back, it's not a good idea to stay out of the limelight for the time being and come back when the matter has passed." ”

Shi Bingzheng couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, "Brother Shen, this is officialdom, once Master Gao really returns to his hometown, it will be difficult to recover again." ”

"Hehe, that's what you don't understand. Teacher Jian is in the emperor's heart, how could the emperor forget him, sooner or later he will return to the court, and then someone will be restless. Shen Chongming said facelessly.

Seeing him like this, Shi Bingzheng couldn't help but worry, Brother Shen was too optimistic about the situation. "Brother Shen, forgive the little brother for being reckless, Master Gao is old after all, what if you can't wait for that day? Moreover, it's okay for him to return to his hometown, but you are still in the court, how can they let you go? ”

"This ...... I didn't mess with them, so why are they bothering me? Shen Chongming said with a little weakness, let's not talk about the small contradictions of the old man Ouyang, he and Xu Jie have a life and death holiday, he will easily let himself go.

"Alas, Brother Shen, who always felt before, you are in control of everything, why don't you understand this point so much. Don't say that you, the disciple of the tall adult, even the junior brother and Siming, who have been promoted by the tall adult, have to be implicated. Shi Bingzheng said helplessly, party struggle is like this, one is prosperous and one is lost, there is no middle way to choose.

Shen Chongming didn't know this, but he was too scared. The teacher has the emperor's kindness at most, but he is a small person, he has not seen the emperor for more than half a year, maybe he can't remember that he still has a person, in case Xu Jie wants to get rid of the troubles because of the past, I am afraid that my little life will not be saved!

Although he was very worried in his heart, Shen Chongming didn't show it, Ah Bing's temperament was a little weak, and once he knew the truth, he would have trouble sleeping.

"It's nothing, I can't afford to hide if I can't provoke him, once the teacher is really dismissed and returns to his hometown, I will transfer to the military to join the army, no matter how powerful he is, he can't reach the army." In the blink of an eye, Shen Chongming thought of a way to protect himself. This time as the supervisor of the army to recruit Annan is an opportunity, the old man has a wide network and is not bad for himself, as long as he tells him that he wants to join the army to serve, he will help him arrange it.

"Transferred to the military and joined the army?" Shi Bingzheng was stunned, don't say it, this is really a good way. "But Brother Shen, it has always been a military job to a civilian position, and this is usually the Shangshu and Shilang of the Ministry of War who go to the frontier to serve as the governor or the chief soldier, our low-level civilian position, but there is no precedent."

"Everything is done by people, and since there is no precedent, then I will set a precedent for him." Shen Chongming smiled, got up and walked out, without further ado, the sooner the arrangements were made, the better.

"Lord Xiao Shen, what do you mean by this, the old man has already quit drinking." Seeing Shen Chongming come to visit with two jars of burning knives, the old man pretended to be unhappy and said.

Shen Chongming was stunned for a moment, and then saw the Duchess with an ugly face, and immediately figured out what was going on, don't look at the old man shouting at five and six people in the army to see that people are afraid, it turns out that he is also a master who is afraid of the inside.

With a smile in his heart, he immediately explained: "Xia Guan knows that you have quit drinking a long time ago, isn't it that we just came back from Annan, the climate of that place is humid." On the way back, Xia Guan has always felt that something is wrong with his body and bones, and he just asked a doctor to take a look, saying that it is arthritis caused by dampness, and he has to wipe it with this strong wine to heal, so he brought the wine to the old man, hehe. ”

Seeing that this kid had a nose and eyes when he told lies, the old man was very happy in his heart, and immediately nodded and said: "The old man also feels that his body is weak, and he also said that he is a ** disease, it turns out to be arthritis." Oh, lady, look at this wine......"

"Take it, Lord Shen has a heart." The Duchess of Guo, who originally had an ugly face, immediately changed her face, she was a kind old lady, and then turned her head to the old man and ordered: "Master, you have to take good care of the young people, this child is quite sensible, hehe." ”

"What Madame said is that you must take good care of him." The old man said, and quietly gave Shen Chongming an approving look, this thing was done well.

"Thank you, old lady, thank you, old man." Shen Chongming hurriedly bowed down to thank him, and then said: "The doctor said that it would be better to combine this liquor with internal and external use, but it's a pity that the old man has quit drinking, and I'm afraid it will take a few days to eradicate it." ”

The old man's eyes lit up, good boy, he can know what the old man is thinking. "Alas, more time is more time, the old man is not a drop of wine now."

Looking at the old man's serious expression, Shen Chongming couldn't help but smile and cooperate: "Xia Guan admires, but I'm afraid that external use alone can't eradicate it." ”

Before the old man could express his position again, the Duchess on the side couldn't sit down, and hurriedly interjected: "In that case, sir, you just drink less." ”

"Ma'am, it's not good." The old man pretended to be posturing, for fear that his wife would see the flaws. "Master, the bones of the body are important." The Duchess said very majestically, and the old man nodded helplessly: "Okay, the old man can only break the vows." ”

After chatting a few words, the Duchess got up and left, the reason why she was afraid of showing up just now was that the person who visited was sending wine to the old man, although now it is also sending wine, but it is for cure, so it is another matter.

"Lord Xiao Shen, you're doing a good job." Seeing his wife leave, the old man immediately stretched out his thumb to Shen Chongming, this move is really too high!

"Hehe, as long as you are happy, old man, it will be done. But what the old lady said is that this wine hurts your body a lot, and you should drink less in the future. Shen Chongming persuaded him a little, and the old man naturally nodded and agreed, as long as it was not a drop of it.

"Anyway, if you are in such a hurry, do you have any trouble and want the old man to help you solve it." The old man was sharp-eyed, and he could see Shen Chongming's worries at a glance, he had just returned to the capital, and he had not heard the report of his subordinates about the changes in the court situation.

"Old man, the subordinate officer has been transferred to a military position and has gone to serve in the army, and I hope you can help." Shen Chongming did not hide it, and directly stated the purpose of his trip.
