Chapter 359 Political Struggle with the Characteristics of the Jiajing Dynasty

Xu Wei almost didn't fall into the rain, and scolded: "Do you dare?" ”

"I need to be calm and weigh the pros and cons," Shen Mo said softly: "If the pros outweigh the disadvantages, you dare." The scene of being tortured in the Yamen of the Fusi of Beizhen flashed in front of him, and he clenched his fists tightly and said, "Don't worry, I won't have the kindness of a woman!" ”

"Okay," Xu Wei nodded, "Let's talk about the benefits of him first." ”

"There are so many benefits." Shen Moqu calculated: "Our biggest threat is removed, Hu Zongxian can be reborn, and the city can be reopened," he said, scratching his cheeks and saying, "My mood will be much better." ”

"That's what counts?" Xu Wei was a little dizzy.

"Hehe," Shen Mo smiled, "I can't think of any other benefits." ”

"That's good, let's talk about the bad." Xu Wei said.

"Disadvantages......" Shen Mo muttered: "There are also a lot of disadvantages, without Li Mo's restraint, Xu Jie's single tree is difficult to support, and the strict party is bound to sit big." Said with a wry smile and said: "I heard that Yan Song has always intended to let Zhao Wenhua go south, once this fang is made, I don't know how many people in the southeast will feed the dogs." This is still in the second, this time there are so many shortages in the southeast, if they are all controlled by the strict party, I am afraid that the disaster will be no less than the rebellion of the Japanese invaders. ”

Saying that, he frowned tightly and said, "If this point can't be solved, this matter can't be done." ”

Xu Wei sighed and said, "Could it be that you just watched Li Mo go up?" ”

"No......" Shen Mo said with a less firm expression: "I believe that Yan Song has dominated the court for more than 20 years, and he will not be defeated so easily." ”

"But what if His Majesty wants him to finish?" Xu Wei asked.

"You are a close minister of the Son of Heaven, what the emperor thinks, you know better than me!" Silent retorted.

"Well...... this" Xu Wei touched his chin and said: "There is no sign, but when Your Majesty saw Li Mo's recital several times, his face was not good." ”

"Look," Shen Mo said, spreading his hands, "so your problem is not a problem. ”

"The Sacred Heart is unfathomable, brother!" Xu Wei said frantically: "I'm not Sun Wukong, I can drill into the emperor's belly!" How do I know what's going on in his heart?! As he spoke, he pointed to the rain curtain outside and said, "Please, brother! Sober up, look outside, now Li Mo has a big stick in his hand, and his power is all over the world, whether he is a strict party member or not, everyone is in danger, and no one dares to fight him! I heard that Yan Shifan is now eating black dog meat! Said and said, "I don't mean to scold you......"

Shen Mo nodded nonchalantly and said, "You're right, we really can't pin our hopes on others." ”

"So you agreed?" Xu Wei's expression relaxed.

"But there's a premise." Shen Mo said softly: "Zhao Wenhua also has to follow the bad luck." As he spoke, he raised his head and said: "Except for what I just talked about, he is the number one cadre of the Yan Party, if he is also finished at the same time, the blow to the Yan Party can completely offset the benefits brought by Li Mo's death to the Yan Party." ”

"Hehe......" Xu Wei suddenly laughed and said: "What we are discussing is the super Shangshu of two official residences, why do we talk about it, they are like fish on the chopping board?" ”

"You wanted to kill Li Mo first." Shen Mo rolled his eyes and said, "I'm just following along." ”

"I'm completely sure," Xu Wei said angrily, "What about you?" ”

"I'm not sure." Silent spread his hands.

Xu Wei coughed twice, and when he saw that the sound of the rain was getting quieter, he stopped talking and said: "I'll stay at your house tonight, if you want, come to my room, if you don't want to, don't pay attention to me, I'll leave tomorrow morning." ”

How can this be so ambiguous? Shen Mo scolded secretly, nodded and said, "Let's go back." ”

Back in the house, the horse hanging was in full swing, Xu Wei said that he wanted to sleep for a while, and was taken to the guest room.

By the time the lantern was in hand, the rain had already stopped, and after dinner, everyone was embarrassed to go any longer, so they got up and said goodbye, and when they wanted to find Xu Wei to go back to the shared accommodation together, the next person replied: "Lord Xu is sleeping too deeply, no matter how you call it, you can't wake up." ”

"A basin of cold water will solve the problem." Sun Ling rolled up his sleeves and was about to help, but Shen Mo hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Just let him sleep here, just go to work on an errand tomorrow morning." Naturally, everyone was indispensable, so they didn't care about the old man. Shen Mo asked Tie Zhu to send them back, and by the way, he took Xu Wei's official uniform.

The summer night after the rain is particularly charming, the night sky illuminated by the stars is cleaned, the air becomes refreshing, and the symphony of frogs and various night insects is in the ears, which makes people feel extremely relaxed.

Lying silently on the bamboo chair, looking at the bright Milky Way fixedly, he didn't move for a long time, obviously very preoccupied...... He is still making a choice, although people have been doing multiple choice questions all their lives, but this time the choice is really difficult and difficult - if he really wants to do it, it is to do it to the two giants at the same time, not to mention whether it can be done, this idea alone makes people feel extremely crazy.

Li Mo must not be moved alone, that will make those who oppose Yan Song completely discouraged, and even turn to rely on him - it is good to end the infighting, but it must not be in this way, because Yan Song's biggest crime is not corruption and bribery, not forming a gang, nor giving birth to a superb bastard son, but inaction!

As the first assistant, he has no responsibility, he can push and hide when he encounters problems, he only thinks about his own black yarn, for his own interests, the corpse is vegetarian, regardless of the life or death of the common people - if the whole country is stable and fine, it doesn't matter, let him fish for a few more years, and be eliminated by the laws of nature. But now the Ming Dynasty is in an eventful season, and 'inaction' is the biggest crime!

Such a first assistant, such a strict party, if they exist for one more day, they will all harm the Ming Dynasty, and the degree of harm is far greater than that of Li Mo now!

'Don't help it!' Shen Mo secretly clenched his fists and said: "Even if you leave Li Mo behind, you will not hesitate!" ’

But what should I do? Silently closing his eyes and contemplating, he wanted to eliminate all the unconfidence and overconfidence in his heart, and try to think about his situation objectively.

Although he was the first person in the Ming Dynasty to be regarded as auspicious by the emperor, it is still doubtful how long this aura can exist, if Li Mo and his henchmen say bad things about themselves, it is hard to guarantee that Jiajing will change his mind about himself, and then he will really become meat on the chopping block!

Thinking of the miserable fate in the future, Shen Mo couldn't help but shudder, and said secretly: "This is an era of 'one word to prosper the country, one word to sin', any soft-hearted must not be...... 'You are soft-hearted to others, others will not be soft on you, anyone who has illusions about the enemy, the end is almost doomed!'"

His body suddenly warmed, and he looked down silently, it was Ruohan who covered himself with a thin blanket, he smiled at her, took her hand, and let her sit beside him, and the two looked at each other warmly. After a long time, Shen Mofang said softly: "What if...... I mean, if I became a selfish bad person, would you hate me? ”

Ruohan shook his head lightly and said, "You're not a bad person, you never have been." Speaking of infinite remembrance, he said: "Otherwise, I would not have been alone and saved me from so many widows." ”

"Hehe......" Shen Mo chuckled, and also shook his head: "People can change......"

Ruohan stretched out his cold fingers, gently rubbed his tightly locked brows, and said softly: "I have come out to support the family business since I was very young, and my father passed on a sentence to me: it is called 'shopping malls are like battlefields', the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the response must also change, but people's mood must remain peaceful, so that they will not be disturbed by behavior." ”

"Cultivating the mind, isn't it?" Shen Mo said softly: "It seems that my realm is not as good as yours." ”

"How is that possible?" Ruohan said very seriously: "Xianggong is a great husband with iron bones, and the concubine is really admired, for example, in Hu Zongxian's case, in the court where you confronted Li Mo, you have unparalleled calmness. ”

"That was before...... Shen Mo took a deep breath of the clear evening breeze and said: "At those times, I firmly believed that I was right, and my heart naturally would not be chaotic. He leaned his head back in his chair and said lightly, "But this time...... I'm on the same page with those guys who are vying for power, so my heart is in turmoil. As he spoke, he couldn't help but smile and said, "You can't deceive yourself if you want to." ”

Ruohan listened and said tightly: "Will it be dangerous?" ”

"That's not going to happen," Shen Mo shook his head and said: "I knew in my last life that protecting yourself in officialdom is more important than fighting the enemy, killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred self is a law on the battlefield, and it does not apply here." ”

"It's enough to keep yourself safe." Ruohan said softly: "Xianggong has actually made a choice, hasn't he?" ”

"Hehe," a chuckle hung on the corner of Shen Mo's mouth, and he got up with the armrest, "It's late at night, go back to sleep." It seemed to acquiesce to Ruohan's question.

"Where are you going?" Ruohan asked.

"I'll go find Xu Wei." Shen Mo whispered, "He's still waiting for me." How do you hear this and how is it ambiguous...... When he stepped through the hanging flower gate, Shen Mo suddenly realized that he finally had no chance with good people, and he was no different from Yan Song and Li Mo.

Once in the mud, no one is clean...... No one knew what they had talked about that night.

Early the next morning, the two of them took a carriage together and returned to Xiyuan to continue their duties, running errands and escorting them, as if nothing had happened.

But Shen Shuyan, who was quiet, kept thinking in his heart about how to put Zhao Wenhua to death...... A petty official from the sixth rank wants to kill a senior official from the first rank, no matter how it sounds, it seems to be wishful thinking, but after coming to the capital for so long, through the observation of the imperial court and Emperor Jiajing, Shen Mo can come to a conclusion - it may not work under other emperors of the Ming Dynasty, but under the rule of His Majesty Jiajing, this matter is completely worthy of the surname!

Because this emperor has gone through more than ten years of hard struggle, through the court staff again and again, and batch after batch of exile, he has changed the political pattern of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor in court, and turned the Ming Dynasty into his hall of words, one word can decide anyone's life and death, and one word can change anyone's fate, even the elder Yan Ge with deep roots!

The key depends on whether Jiajing wants to or not, as long as he can hook the mind of Emperor Daojun, even if he is a small person, he can overturn the big man who is entangled in jade belts and achieve an asymmetrical victory!

Of course, there are few people in this world who can understand Emperor Jiajing's mind, because he is a talented and intelligent master of decision-making and scheming, and even in the past twenty years or so, all the ministers have been played by him, no one is his opponent, and no one can guess his mind.

But just like the video games that Shen Mo played in his previous life, no matter how difficult the level is, there will always be a master who will beat it through, but it will take a little longer. Now Emperor Jiajing, a game of difficulty and perversion, has been on the market for more than 30 years, and under the exploration of many masters, there are finally a few top hardcore players, and the machine has been successfully exploded! Emperor Jiajing's temper and surname and all kinds of power tricks were clearly felt, and he was not discussed from now on!

Although Shen Mo has been in contact with the emperor for a short time, he has the experience of the Yan family's father and son, as if he is playing a game with a strategy in hand, as long as he follows the map, he can get twice the result with half the effort, and he can also clear the customs! This is the source of confidence that he dares to fight Zhao Wenhua's idea.

Speaking of which, this Lord Zhao is really depressed, no matter who wants to challenge Yan Ge Lao, the first thing he will always think of is to cut him. Of course, this is not a coincidence, but because Zhao Wenhua is an arrogant, unrestrained, and often short-circuited fool in his brain, of course, he also has the advantages of 'loyal and obedient, tireless and hard-working', but the object of allegiance is Yan Song, so in Yan Ge Lao's opinion, he is a good son whose advantages outweigh his disadvantages.

But in the eyes of others, Lord Zhao is a useless bastard, and there are a lot of places to attack, so the unlucky Lord Zhao has become a battlefield for two parties to fight, no matter whether he wins or loses, he has to be killed and brought back to life.

Now that Shen Mo wants to weaken Yan Song, he naturally can't help but focus on Zhao Wenhua - of course, Zhao Wenhua will not be easily defeated, because Yan Ge Lao is used to supporting him. Although in Shen Mo's view, supporting a troublemaker is tantamount to committing suicide, but for many years, Yan Ge Lao has always protected him, which makes Shen Mo very puzzled, what is this old man's idea?

In fact, what Shen Mo didn't know was that the reason why Zhao Wenhua was supported by Yan Ge Lao was that in addition to being obedient and willing to send money, there was also a killer move, which was to blow the wind on the pillow...... Of course, not to blow it himself, but to let him his mother.

His godmother is his godfather's wife, his godfather is Yan Song, and his godmother is naturally Mrs. Yan. Yan Ge was ruthless in his life, and the people in the rivers and lakes called him 'mass grave', but people are multifaceted and complex, and there is no one who is really a villain through and through, and every side is a villain.

Even Yan Song has a person who knows each other wholeheartedly. This person is Mrs. Yan's Ouyang family, you must know that Yan Song was only developed in the age of sixties, and the previous decades were extremely bumpy, but Mrs. Ouyang, who was born in everyone, never spoke coldly, but spent difficulties with him until Yan Song was old and developed. So Yan Song has only one wife in her life, and she has never taken a concubine...... Of course, it may also be due to the age of the adult.

But in any case, Mrs. Ouyang has a great influence on Yan Song, and Zhao Wenhua saw this point, went all out to stammer, coaxed the old lady around, and held him closer than his own son, so he naturally really protected him.

Yan Song can't do without this loyal watchdog, so he has been protecting him, that's all.

Unable to figure out the truth, Shen Mo temporarily suppressed it and turned to find the most suitable attack point...... This Lord Zhao has a lot of bad deeds, from corruption and bribery, eating and taking cards, to using power for personal gain, blinding the saints, from lying about the military situation, falsely reporting the results of the war to fighting for power and profit, framing colleagues, and the bad things he has done can be described as innumerable, but Shen Mo knows that these are not enough to kill someone Zhao!

Because of corruption and bribery, it has never been a crime in the eyes of Emperor Jiajing; Blinding the Holy Hearing will definitely implicate Yan Song; As for the charges of lying about the military situation and framing colleagues, it can only make the impeacher die without a place to be buried, and will not hurt Zhao Wenhua in the slightest!

Because he already knew the surname of Emperor Jiajing - this benevolent brother was too conceited, believing that he was the best in the world, no one could deceive him, and he never refused to admit his mistake. Now you have to tell him, brother, you have been deceived by others, you are an idiot, he will naturally be angry, and he will naturally die and not admit it, not only will he not take Zhao Wenhua, but he will also let him live well, so as to show his correct surname.

Therefore, the victory or defeat of the secret war is all in the speculation of the emperor, if you ignore the thoughts of Emperor Jiajing, you have to be self-righteous, then you will definitely die without a place to be buried, this is the iron rule of struggle in the Jiajing period!

The father and son of the Yan family comprehended, so they stood tall; Xu Jie also comprehended, so he was able to turn danger into relief; Shen Mo has also comprehended now, so he dares to fight anyone's idea, and Comrade Li Mo obviously did not comprehend, or disdained to comprehend, so he was doomed to failure...... Just when he was silently thinking about it, a simple errand allowed him to find the key to deal with Zhao Wenhua......
