In the afternoon of the same day, the celebrant sent Guangmao's recital to the cabinet.

The bachelor on duty that day was Lu Tiaoyang, and after reading this book, he realized the seriousness of the situation, and received it quietly in his sleeve and came to the first auxiliary value room.

Seeing him come in and close the door with a solemn face, Shen Moqi said, "Brother Heqing, what's the matter?" ”

"Yuanfu, something big happened" Lu Tiaoyang character and Qing, is Jiajing's 29-year role model, after entering the officialdom, he has been moving around in the word forest, and has never been a feudal official, perhaps for this reason, he is more than steady and lacks courage, more than rope and ink and not enough flexibility, in addition to honestly doing his own thing, he will never get involved in a little right and wrong. He knew that Shen Mo recommended himself to the cabinet in order to show the government and the opposition that he had not appointed sī people, and it was precisely because of himself that he had taken a fancy to him.

In any case, to be able to realize his lifelong wish, Lu Tiaoyang is still very impressed by silence. Honest people have this benefit, they don't forget to dig wells, they never go against Shen Mo, and they are anxious for him when they find problems.

After reading the transcript, the anger on Shen Mo's face flashed, and he immediately asked as usual: "In my opinion, Brother Heqing, how should this matter be handled." "It's very tricky" Lu Tiaoyang frowned and said: "If my subordinates remember correctly, this good news was sent before the emperor's wedding, and it was regarded as a rare auspicious omen by the emperor and the queen mother." not only opened the altar to worship the ancestral temple, but also rewarded the ministers in large quantities. If what Guangmao played is true, the first person who can't get over it is the emperor. After a pause, he looked at Shen Mo and whispered: "And the emperor just can't get over face, and even more unacceptable, I'm afraid it's still those ministers who have been rewarded." ”

Lu Tiaoyang said that he was on point, and nodded slowly in silence. After the victory of Changdingbao, the emperor rewarded the ministers with the victory of Liaodong, in addition to the direct participants in the battle, Liaodong side, there were more than 30 civil and military officials who were promoted to the top of the ranks. In the capital, dozens of officials of the yamen who could get involved with the military were also rewarded. For example, in the cabinet, all the auxiliary ministers are each promoted to one rank, and one son is shaded.

Except for Shen Mo who resolutely resigned from Shangzhu, the rest of the princes were grateful and accepted. and the officials,

The officials of the four ministries of soldiers, households, and workers also received the same rewards as the ministers. Zozo underneath,

The relevant officials also have different degrees of reward.

Although Shen Mo has never been stingy with the promotion of officials, such a large-scale increase in official rank is the first time in the Wanli Dynasty [The little emperor and the queen mother, who want to be colorful, want to please the ministers and ministers are silent and do not want to harm the good things of others, so they are not blocked, so everyone is satisfied and happy.

The problem is serious here, if this case is verified, if it is really as Guangmao played, the victory of Changdingbao is to kill and surrender, then all the official promotions must be canceled, this is a big scandal that has not happened since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!

Lu Tiaoyang also received the reward, not only did he be promoted from the title of the second rank of Shangshu to the first rank of the palace guard, but his son also received the Shaoqing of the Sixth Rank Taifu Temple, and he has been working in the yamen for more than a month. If the imperial court recovers the reward now and drives his son home, this shame will make his son unable to hold his head up for the rest of his life. He, who is a father, will also become the laughing stock of others with no light on his face.

Thinking of this, Lu Tiaoyang said frankly: "My subordinates think that we can secretly investigate this matter, but no matter what the truth is, the conclusion of the great victory should not be overturned." I said this, not because my subordinates themselves were also among the rewards, but because I considered that once the conclusion overthrew the prestige of the emperor, the reputation of the court, and the face of the ministers, it would be a serious blow to the gains and losses, so please think twice. ”

Shen Mo nodded and said with a painful look on his face: "Brother Heqing is right, but whether this lid can be covered or not, I don't know the bottom of my heart." As he spoke, he rubbed his sun xué and whispered, "You go first, let me think about how to ......"

Tiaoyang had already made his attitude clear, so he went out.

After Lu Tiaoyang left, Yu Dashou came over with a few copies of the tickets and let Shen Mo look at them.

"You're just in time" Shen Mo took those pieces, but didn't look at them, and put them directly in his hand and said, "Look at this." As he spoke, he handed the copy sent by Lu Tiaoyang to Yu Dashou.

"In the case of a household department who inspected Tuntian, he actually investigated the battle of Changdingbao so clearly, and there were witnesses and physical evidence, which was almost difficult to overturn." After reading it, he said in a deep voice: "Even if you send a special Qin messenger to investigate, I'm afraid it won't have this effect." Saying that, he snorted coldly and said, "If you want to say that there is no conspiracy here, I don't believe it." ”

Mo nodded and said, "This matter is not as simple as it seems. ”

"This Guangmao is the person promoted by Zhang Juzheng. Is it because of your negative attitude on the matter of seizing love?" Yu Dashou said: "So Zhang Juzheng wants to take revenge on you." ”

Shen Mo slowly shook his head and said, "Zhang Juzheng is already far away in Jiangling, how could he know that the victory of Changdingbao is boring?" ”

"This is not difficult to understand" Yu Dashou replied: "When the good news came, Zhang Ge Lao had not left Beijing, maybe he was like you, and he noticed something unusual, so he sent Guangmao to inspect Tuntian as a cover to take the opportunity to investigate the matter." ”

"It makes sense," Shen Mo thought for a moment, "but what good is this for him?" ”

"What's the benefit?" Yu Dashou groaned and said, "Think about it, who are the people who were promoted to the rank because of this great victory?" ”

"Liaodong and the officials of the imperial court."

"Not bad" Yu Dashou raised his voice and said, "But more importantly, these people are your political friends."

Only ,........." silent pupils shrank, and did not speak.

"In the cabinet, Lao Tang and I don't need to talk about it, we share honor and disgrace with you, Zhang Siwei and Lu Tiaoyang are all told by you to ask them to go east and never west. Although Lu Shusheng and Wei Xuezeng have a big temper, they have always been in harmony with you in terms of major policies. As for the officials of the six departments, they are all of the same heart and mind with you. Besides, Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong, and Zhang Xueyan, the governor of Liaodong, have been appeased and captives on the border have been extinct in the past six years, these two have made great contributions, and who doesn't know that they are your confidants and favorite generals? ”

"Now get this case shut." Yu Dashou continued: "If you don't check, you have to check!"

But if you investigate, you have to take Li Chengliang to open the knife, and you have to make all the cadres and good officials who follow you lose their faces, doesn't this make you destroy the Great Wall and scatter people's hearts? ”

Mo nodded slowly and said, "When Elder Lu Ge sent this recital, he made it clear. I don't want the lid open. ”

"I heard that Lu Ge's son is not a good man, and he is still a white-clothed talent in his thirties, so it is so easy to shadow a six-grade official, and the old man definitely doesn't want to go back." Yu Dashou led the way.

"The existence of people like Lu Tiaoyang is like this, and others can imagine it." Shen Mo sighed deeply and said, "You are right, this is a yī against us, "But I don't think it was Zhang Juzheng who instigated it." ”

"Why?" "He will have to return to Beijing for two and a half years, and this is the time when he is most vulnerable." Shen Mo said lightly: "Even if I am in trouble, but as long as I say a word, I can make him survive and not die, unless Zhang Juzheng is dizzy, it is impossible to do this kind of thing that harms others and is not beneficial to himself." "And who do you think it is?" The big ribbon said.

"It doesn't matter who it is." Shen Mo said lightly: "As long as you know that someone is secretly providing ammunition for the emperor, it is enough." When he said this, a face that was always respectful came to his mind.

After a moment of silence, Yu Dashou asked in a low voice, "Is it possible to cover the lid?" ”

"I can't contain the fire in the paper, it's not the same as before, even if I press it down officially, people can still poke it out of the newspaper." Shen Mo said slowly: "Besides, if something happens, the more you try to cover it up, the more it will arouse the disgust of the government and the opposition," he said and smiled coldly: "If I really want to cover this matter, I'm afraid it will be in the hands of those people." The next moment, he suddenly changed the topic and said, "I know what is the sentence that the emperor has often said in the past few months?" "What?"

"In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, Teng Zijing guarded Baling County...", said silently: "Just this sentence ran out of the emperor's mouth from time to time. ”

"Could it be that the emperor sees Zhang Juzheng as Fan Zhongyan?" The big ribbon said.

"I thought so before, but after this incident, I realized that it was not right, the emperor was not thinking about Fan Zhongyan, but about Su Shunqin's people who killed Teng Zijing to guard Baling County." Silence and determination.

Yu Dashou learned to be rich and rich, and immediately understood the allusions in it, and couldn't help but shudder: "A reform failed, but two good articles were left." ，… One is Fan Zhongyan's "The Story of Yueyang Tower", and the other is "The Story of Canglang Pavilion" by Su Shunqing, who died in Suzhou

"Yes, a seemingly inconspicuous little thing brought down the Junzi Party and the Qingli New Deal failed." Shen Mo said with deep feelings: "Because of the small loss, it can be seen that the officialdom is cruel." ”

"How similar was it then and now?" Yu Dashou said with a chill on his back.

"This is the root cause of this case that we must investigate," Shen Mo said slowly: "Although we are trying our best to clean up people's hearts, as long as we sit in this position, the most important thing is the enemy." Those people were always eyeing me, waiting for an opportunity to give me eye medicine. Such a big thing as Changding Fort is too sensitive! The paper can't contain the fire, and instead of letting them hold on to this matter and mess us up, it is better for us to correct ourselves and not give the opponents a chance. ”

"You're right." "However, this matter is too sensitive, there are too many people involved, and if you are not careful, you will get into trouble, don't cut off your arm in order to get an abscess." "It's great that you can support me" Shen Mo nodded, and said his plan: "This matter, immediately show that a strict investigation posture is necessary, first plug those people's mouths" said with a look of disgust: "Then I will slowly wipe Li Chengliang's buttocks" He really hated this Li Dashuai. But in terms of ability, Li Chengliang alone can be worth a million soldiers, and no one can replace him to guard Liaodong: in terms of loyalty, Li Chengliang is completely different from Qi Jiguang and others, Qi Jiguang and others are loyal to the court first, and then loyal to him. But Li Chengliang is a knife that he really holds in his hand, no matter who the blade is pointed at.

Shen Mo knew that Li Chengliang was lawless and keen on fame, and he never broke the beating. I didn't expect thousands of reminders and thousands of instructions, this bastard thing still did this kind of bad thing to give people a handle!

Why did the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Temple show that there was no sign of dispatch from the Duoyan Department and the Tuban in those days?

"I was always a little uneasy, so although the leading cabinet sent a congratulatory watch, there was a sentence in the note: "Although there is a section on surrender, the minister has not seen the details of the town's nuclear survey." "This is a living and shows that the cabinet does not support the attitude of rewarding the ministers before they are clarified. And leave a foreshadowing for the subsequent investigation, so that the cabinet will not be too passive. Shen Mo continued: "After the emperor's wedding, I also sent a letter to the Liaodong Patrol and ordered him to verify the letter. The transcript of the Liaodong Patrol was delivered last month, and it is no different from Li Chengliang's statement. ”

"With these two things, public opinion will not suffer." Yu Dashou breathed a sigh of relief.

"But don't take it lightly." Shen looked at him silently and said, "Those rewarded ministers, we have to communicate one by one, and we must let them not have knots.

I will personally come to a few college students and monks, and I will leave the rest to you. After a pause, he sighed deeply and said, "You tell them that as soon as this matter is reported to the palace, they will immediately resign from the relevant rewards and get out of this matter." This is not only not a shame, but a sign of shame. Don't fall in love, I promise, within half a year, what they lost will come back! Just say what you say. The big ribbon nodded.

"You don't have to worry about the rest." Shen Mo sneered and said: "This time, I have to let them experience the kind of depressed ...... we had last time" "Hehe" Seeing that Shen Mo was full of confidence, Yu Dashou also had confidence, so he could take care of it and said angrily: "These people are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, only a thousand days to be thieves, and there are no thousand days to prevent thieves." In such a big country, how can nothing happen when you press the gourd to float? If you don't teach them a lesson, even if you pass this time, you'll have to trouble us next time! ”

"Wait" said silently: "Next year will be Jingcha"
