"Of course it does." Shen Lianyun said lightly: "Lu Bing once said to me that he likes the words of civil officials the most, 'To be an official, you have to think twice', do you know which three thoughts?" ”

"Think of danger, think of retreat, think of change." Shen Mo replied softly.

"Yes, to be an official, you have to think twice, take one step and see three steps, you must not just look at the present, and when you are poor, you will think about change, it will be too late." Shen Lian said to his apprentice in a warm voice: "Lu Bing is planning for the future." ”

"He has an iron future, a golden job, what is there to worry about?" Silent laughter.

"His position, looking at the scenery, but actually quite pitiful." Shen Lian said lightly: "When a civil official is an official, he can be regarded as a veteran of several dynasties, but he, the big leader of the Jinyi Guard, is destined to only be able to shine in this ......dynasty" As long as the new monarch is in power, he will definitely replace this dangerous spy leader with his own henchman, otherwise he won't even be able to sleep well.

Shen Mo nodded, did not speak, and listened to the teacher's deep voice: "He climbed too high, if there is no big guy who can cover him at that time, I am afraid that he will fall very badly, so he wants to worship me as a teacher, so that he can have something to do with you." ”

"Me?" Silent smiled and said, "This is too, isn't it?" ”

"." Shen Lian scolded with a smile and lowered his voice: "No matter what time you have to remember, everything about him is tied to the emperor, the emperor is in his position as a supreme minister, and the emperor will collapse and he will have nothing, so he will not do anything behind the emperor's back, including this time...... It is even possible that the emperor instructed him. ”

"Why is that?" The more I listened, the more I felt the mystery.

"Your Majesty is going to be the prince of the country," Shen Lian said with a deep gaze: "You are one of them, and you are a very important one." ”

"Who can say for sure that far away?" Silently shook his head in disbelief.

"Don't look at the emperor cultivating all day long, what he values most in his heart is the Zhu family's 10,000-year foundation, how can he do it if he doesn't want to go far?" Shen Lian said lightly: "If King Yu and King Jing are more angry, of course Your Majesty doesn't have to worry so early...... However, King Yu's surname is weak, and King Jing is flying and impetuous, neither of which is the choice of the British lord, so His Majesty has to win the hearts of two generations. ”

"It has been thirty-five years since the Holy Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and it will take at least ten years to temper a minister who can be used as a great emperor, and His Majesty is only starting to be the prince of the country now, and it is very late." Shen Lian pointed out the country with some laughter: "He allowed and even instructed Lu Bing to take this step, first of all, because he can provide you with shelter, so that when the court officials want to deal with you, they will first weigh the weight of his 'senior brother'; Of course, because the two of you are destined to be people of two eras, Your Majesty is relieved to let you get involved. ”

Shen Lian threw out a 'future humerus' theory, which made Shen Mo dizzy, but he changed his words and said: "Of course, you can listen to this and know it in your heart." Since ancient times, the sacred heart has been unpredictable, especially today's holy ...... As you said, the future is still long, who can say in the future. ”

Shen said silently: "Master, don't come to such a ......" After listening to it for a long time, my feelings were all in vain.

"If you want to be valued all the time," Shen Lian raised his eyebrows and said: "You have to show your real skills and do some vigorous things, so that you can live up to what you have learned in your life!" ”

Shen Mo knew the teacher's purpose at this time, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm trapped in the Hanlin Academy now, and it is estimated that I won't be able to get out for a while, and I don't know if the revision of the "Yuan History" is a vigorous event." ”

"Kind of fart!" Shen Lian sank his face and said to his senior disciples: "I will elect a candidate, from the township test to the court test, and then to observe the political candidates, which can be described as a strict core. Why is it that now there are things in all parts of the country, internal and external troubles, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty cannot be used? ”

Shen Mo shook his head, he hadn't thought about this question.

"It's because the morale is getting decadent! No one wants to be responsible! Shen Lian said with a sad face: "It wasn't like this before, before Zhengde, my courtiers of the Ming Dynasty were righteous and insistent, not afraid of power, benefiting the country, not avoiding blessings and misfortunes, even the dragon scales dared to reveal it, at that time the courtiers really regarded the emperor as the monarch's father, and regarded the Ming Dynasty as their own home." But from the Zhengde period, Emperor Wuzong did not follow the advice, and the court staff was one hundred and seven; Emperor Jiajing of this dynasty had 124 people at the same time, of whom 16 died on the spot, and most of the rest were disabled...... Hundreds of people were stripped of their clothes, lined up under the Chengtian Palace, hundreds of sticks rose and fell at the same time, for a time the sound shook the sky, flesh and blood flying, the courtiers' courage was small, and their hearts were cold, they didn't dare to stand up, they didn't dare to speak up, and they could no longer hear Yang Sheng'an's 'one hundred and fifty years of national cultivation, fighting and dying righteousness, and now saying' that kind of deafening shout! ”

"The Son of Heaven used an incompetent person like Yan Song to govern, and allowed him to form a party for personal gain, so that the villain was in cahoots, and the loyal and honest people were crowded out one after another, and the discipline of the dynasty was broken, and everyone had no intention of worrying about the king, and they all became selfish!" Shen Lian said to Shen Mo with a sad face: "This is the biggest crisis of my Daming!" ”

Shen Mo showed a thoughtful look on his face, he had not yet examined the empire from this angle, so he only heard the teacher continue: "The imperial court supports the ministers with high lords and generous talents, and once the monarch's father is in trouble, the ministers think about protecting themselves. The newcomer said: 'It is not easy for me to get this fame, 20 years of hard work in the light and window, only to win a yarn hat, and still count on the official residence to be a product, and seal the wife and son, how can I come out indiscriminately? ”

Shen Mo's face was slightly red and he said, "Teacher, I didn't mean that...... It's just that the major affairs of the state are all decided by the elders of the cabinet......"

"They will also say: 'It is not easy for me to be in the best official position, and it has been 20 years of careful career to get to this position.' If the minister is not this alone, it is important for me to keep my position! Xu Wei sneered: "This is the biggest harm caused by Yan Song standing in the court. He served His Majesty's joy and anger in order to be blessed, and His Majesty used one person, and then said, 'I recommend it', and reprimanded another person, saying, 'This is not my relatives, so I will give up.'" His Majesty spared one person and said, 'I will save you,' and punished one person, saying, 'This offended me, so I will repay him.'" So that the ministers feel more than Your Majesty, and they are more afraid of Your Majesty. Even if you don't think about the grace of the court, Your Majesty's virtue in treating scholars! ”

In the meantime, there is a party of the Yan family, and their children and relatives enter for personal reasons, such as Zhao Wenhua, Yan Maoqing, Wu Peng, Yuan Yingshu, etc., one by one, relying on their godfathers and godsons, developing arrogance, blindly greedy, not knowing filial piety, how can they be loyal? There are also wealthy families, such as Tang Ruji, the champion of the above department, and the fifth Jinda of the current department, who is not only expensive, but has not learned the article, is full of copper smell, and knows loyalty? Shen Lian slapped the table and said: "If you don't correct its shortcomings and go against its politics, there will be no virtuous position in the dynasty, and there will be no peace in the country!" ”

"So even if it's to cheer up morale, for the sake of the teacher, I want to impeach Yan Song! Although it was an egg hitting a stone, it was regarded as Zhang Zifang hitting Qin Shi Huang in Bolangsha, although he missed the hit, it was good to set an example with everyone! Shen Lian said in a deep voice: "I firmly believe that the Heavenly Empire has its own righteousness, even if it is suppressed in people's hearts for a while, let our master and apprentice stimulate it!" ”

Shen Mo was so frightened that his heart was pounding, and he swallowed and said with difficulty: "Master, you won't let the apprentice also go to school, right?" ”

"Do you have the guts?" Shen Lian scolded with a smile and said: "If you want to set an example for the young jinshi, dare to think and dare to do, and make great progress, you will be effective!" But it works better than anything else! He glanced at him meaningfully and said: "You now have a halo in your body, famous in the government and the opposition, and if you want to do better than others, it can be said that the time and place are favorable, and it is the time for the husband to make contributions...... Even if you mess up, it's only if you don't have experience and won't be killed with a stick. After a few years, I can start again. ”

After pondering silently for a long time, he nodded slowly and said, "Student, remember the teachings of your teacher. ”

Seeing that it was not early, Shen Lian got up and said, "I have to go, otherwise I won't be able to catch up with the post station." ”

Shen Mo nodded, then got up and said, "I don't know when I will be able to see my teacher again?" ”

"It's easy to say goodbye, it's hard to see it......" Shen Lian glanced at the vast road ahead and said in a low voice: "Even if you don't cry sadly, it's inevitable to say goodbye; One last glance at Shen Mo said: "May this be the last time, cherish the two and work together to protect the country's security." Then he resolutely turned over and got on the horse, waved his hand and said: "There will be no time in the future!" "Ride your horse and drive down the official road.

Seeing that the master was walking away, Shen Mo suddenly ran with all his strength, and said with all his strength: "Master, I won't let you down!! ”

From afar, I could see Shen Lian looking back, as if smiling with relief...... On the way back, Shen Mo said to Ruohan with some distraction: "There is no one in this world who can see more thoroughly than Master, I talked to him about this, my heart is much brighter, and I am more sure of the future." ”

Ruohan whispered: "Actually, you are the kind of people, the kind of people who recognize one thing and never look back." ”

"No," Shen Mo shook his head and said, "For a person as upright as the master, seeing it too clearly is a pain in itself; Said and smiled miserably: "For your father-in-law, seeing it clearly means that you can suffer less pain." ”
