Returning to the capital in the afternoon, there were already eunuchs guarding the city gate, confirming that this group of people was indeed Shen Ge's old team, and then passed on the edict: Master Shen has worked hard and has made great achievements, and there is no need to visit him today. , silently and respectfully saluted, said to accept the order, got up and let people reward the eunuch, then went to the chessboard street, and after returning home, he closed the door to thank the guests, and said goodbye to his wife and daughter for many years, naturally there is a bittersweet and sour, outsiders do not know.

Early the next morning, the five watches of the city towers beat the drums, and the silence has been washed up, and he changed into a brand-new court dress and "took a sedan chair to the imperial city for the early dynasty." Along the way, the large and small official sedan chairs gathered one after another on the street paper, but after seeing the silent sedan chair, they all consciously followed behind, whether it was a blue sedan chair or a blue sedan chair, no one dared to be parallel to him. From a distance, it looks like the head goose is leading its more and more subordinates to Chang'an Gate.

When he arrived in front of Zuo'an, he "got off the sedan chair silently" and found that a group of officials had already gotten off the sedan chair and waited there, and when he stood still, all the officials bowed down together and saluted: "Meet the old ...... pavilion"

Shen Mo smiled slightly, clenched his fists and said, "You haven't seen you for a long time. His voice was as soft and warm as it had been three years ago, and he spoke cordially to every official who greeted him, and took the initiative to greet those who were older than him, and soon "swept away the strangeness of years of not seeing each other."

Somehow, as soon as they saw him, the officials suddenly felt a sense of intimacy, and the dangerous minister in their minds, who had imagined from his meritorious position, was also blurred at once.

Many people are still secretly self-criticizing, how can they think of this amiable elder like that?

It must be admitted that there is such a kind of person in this world, this kind of person will be very popular wherever he goes, as soon as you see him, "you will involuntarily get close to him, trust him, treat him as your friend and be ruthless to hurt him, and even throw away the previous prejudices."

This is the charm, it can't be explained, it can't be copied, those who don't have it can't force it, but those who have it can't get it, and it's the most unreasonable thing in the world to talk about. Some people will rise to the top with this trait alone, and this is only in the initial stage. Once this kind of charm and extraordinary appearance, extraordinary ability, and admirable status are combined, it will be truly amazing, which will make people fall in love at first sight, and die for it, until they die, "will smile at the corners of their mouths" and feel that their lives are worth it.

Although Shen Mo has not yet reached the point where a hundred officials will bow down at first sight, his innate quality and acquired cultivation "make him have a strong affinity and sense of trust, and as long as he stands there, it is difficult for you to be hostile......

一一"一、一、一一"一,壹"一、一、一"一、一、一"一、

The majestic sound of bells and drums echoed among the red walls and tiles. The civil and military officials who participated in the court meeting, under the leadership of the officials of Honglu Temple, crossed Chang'an Avenue and came to stand outside the noon gate. As soon as the time came, "the gates of the palace were wide open, and the officials rushed in," but after entering the palace, they did not rush forward," but stood still, slightly facing the direction of the east gate of Huijimen, waiting for the arrival of the elders.

At this time, the sun has not risen and the sky has already brightened" Dongfang Weilu fish belly white In this morning light, the three ministers walked out of the Huiji Gate and strode towards the team of hundreds of officials. Attentive officials could find that "the speed at which the elders of the pavilion walked was much faster than in the past, obviously because Elder Shen was also in the ranks, so they could not be lazy."

The head of the cabinet walked in the front, "a white beard was a little messy in the morning breeze", but he didn't care, and he raised his fist from a distance, "Arched twice towards the silence standing on the opposite side, if it weren't for the fact that there was no noise in the palace, it is estimated that his loud voice would have sounded a long time ago." The two elders also clasped their fists and smiled.

Shen Mo hurriedly walked out of the team, walked quickly to meet him, stopped three feet in front of the high arch, and said with a deep salute: "Yuanfu ......", "Jiangnan!" Gao Gong grabbed a step and "held him" and said emotionally: "One farewell and three autumns" want to annoy me! ”

"Xiaguan also misses Motosuke very much." Shen Mo clenched his hand tightly in the arch.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Siwei also came up to salute, and silently hugged their fists with them one by one and said, "Brother Taiyue!" Ziwei ...... "No matter how strict Sister Wu was before", I haven't seen it for many years, and I really miss it.

"The officials are still waiting, let's go to court first." Gao Gong saw that Zhang Juzheng and Shen Mo "met and smiled at each other's enmity, and felt tired, and before they finished speaking, he said: "If you have anything to say, wait until the next court, and then go back to Wenyuan Pavilion to talk about it." ”

The person had to stop talking, and at the same time stretched out his hand and asked: Get up, silence and Erzhang are a demeanor, clean and decent, gentle and elegant. The beard is sloppy and sloppy.

"Jiangnan, you walk side by side with me......" Seeing that Shen Mo was about to follow, Gao Gong pulled him and said, "You are a good product, how can you follow others." ”

"It's just a fictitious title", Shen Mo smiled and said, "Yuan Minor wants to make fun of it." "Having said that, he still walked side by side with Gao Gong" Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Siwei followed behind, and the four of them gathered hundreds of officials and walked in the direction of Huangji Gate. Gao Shen and the others walked in the forefront, and the former lowered his voice and said: "This is the first time the emperor has seen the court in three months, specifically for you." ”

"......" was silent for a moment, and then asked softly, "Is the Holy Bow okay now?" ”

"Well, it's getting better all the time." Gao Gong nodded, sighed lightly, and said, "I hope the sky is bright.........

Shen Mo also nodded, and as he spoke, he passed the Imperial Gate "The majestic Imperial Palace is in sight" The two of them did not make a sound, and walked forward solemnly. Who knew that at this time, there was a commotion in front, and all the ministers followed the prestige together, "and saw a bright yellow sè ride parked next to the imperial road" It was naturally the sedan chair of Emperor Longqing, and they were all surprised. At this time, the emperor should take a nap behind the imperial palace, waiting for the ministers to take shifts, how did he run to the palace.

On another look, the emperor was not in the middle of the chariot, "but stood far away, angrily pointing his fingers and feet, as if losing his temper." The surrounding eunuchs knelt in a circle, as if they were trying to persuade him to sit down.

"Something seems to have happened." Seeing this scene, Gao Gong's smile was completely unreasonable.

Shen Mo nodded, and looked at the emperor in the distance with a solemn face, only to see him pointing, his mouth opening and closing, as if reprimanding people, but the direction he was pointing in was "clearly nothing."

"Let's go over and see." Gao Gong glanced back at Zhang Juzheng in his typical commanding tone and said, "Don't make a noise here!" "It sounds like he said to Baiguan" But his eyes were only on Zhang Juzheng.

The two of them left the team and walked over, followed Gao Gong closer, and silently saw the appearance of Emperor Longqing clearly, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts...... This emperor is the same age as himself, he is thirty-six years old this year, and it is said that he is in his prime, but the whole person is thin and thin, his face is yellow, and he has a state of premature aging. At this moment, I saw that his face was full of anger, but his eyes were obviously dull, although he was wearing the chapter uniform of the previous dynasty, but the crown was crooked to the side, and the beads and jades on it were swaying, showing that he was in a state of confusion.

"Your Majesty!" Gao Gong shouted loudly and knelt down and kowtowed. Shen Mo also knelt down, and when the palace people saw them, they saw the savior, and quickly got out of the way, Emperor Longqing was startled by Gao Gong's shout, turned his head angrily, and saw that it was Gao Gong, and his face was slightly foggy" The voice was muddy: "You are here, it's good to come, I told you that I am angry, I am angry, I am angry, I am going to be angry......" The emperor nagged hatefully for a long time, only to find that there was still a person kneeling next to Gao Gong, staring at him and asking: "Who are you, how dare you kneel in front of my eyes?" He said in a loud voice: "Where is Jin Wuwei, take it for me!" ”

For a moment, a ridiculous thought rose in Shen Mo's heart, isn't the emperor going to pretend to be crazy and eradicate me? Of course, as soon as he thought about it, he knew that this was impossible, even if the emperor pretended to be crazy, would everyone have to pretend to be crazy and cooperate?

"Your Majesty, he is the Master Shen you talk about all day long, silent!" Sure enough, Gao Gong stopped him loudly: "What, haven't you seen him for three years and don't know him?" ”

"Silence, Master Shen", Long Qing's expression was blank for a while, and then he suddenly said: "Sure enough, it's my Master Shen!" I'm getting old like this, "Why haven't you changed!" ”

Shen Mo's eyes turned red, and he choked up: "Weichen is silent, please St. Ann!" ”

"You're back", Long Qing walked to his side with difficulty, and grabbed his arm, "I wanted to speak, but I couldn't make a sound, I just grabbed my silent arm tightly, and tears poured down.

Because Longqing has not let go", so Shen Mo and Gao Gong have been kneeling there, very embarrassed. Fortunately, Li Quan, the eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, who was following the emperor, whispered: "The emperor" has not let the two pavilions get old. ”

"Oh", Long Qing hurriedly said, "Hurry up, what are you doing on your knees." But his hand kept clutching the corner of his silent clothes and did not let go.

Gao Gong stood up and saw that the emperor seemed to have returned to normal, so he whispered: "Your Majesty, the time of the early dynasty has arrived, and the hundred officials are still waiting there." ”

"Early dynasty, what early dynasty?" Emperor Longqing looked at him" shook his head and said, "I can't go to the early dynasty." ”

Gao Gong also felt that the emperor was in a trance, and if he held on to the court, maybe something would happen, so he followed Longqing and said: "The emperor is not in the early court, so go back to the palace to rest?" ”

"I don't want to go back to the palace." Long Qing shook his head slowly, looking extremely lonely.

"Where is the emperor's palace going? The minister thought that the emperor should go back to the palace. "The high arch does not give way.

After staring at him for a moment, Xu is a habit developed by teachers and students for many years, and love for father and son, Long Qing finally compromised and nodded.

"Hurry up and ask the emperor to get into the sedan chair." Gao Gong was relieved, and Li Quan was also relieved, and the two gave orders almost at the same time.

One "one" one "one "

The imperial chariot came, but Emperor Longqing still held Shen Mo's wrist tightly and did not let go. This made Shen Mo a little embarrassed, and said softly: "Your Majesty, get on the sedan chair." As he spoke, he shook slightly and grabbed his right hand, which means, let me go......

"The membrane does not sit in a sedan car!" Long Qing didn't withdraw his hand and said, "You send me." ”

Shen Mo looked at Gao Gong, Gao Gong nodded, meaning, hurry up and fool the emperor back.

"The minister sent the emperor." Shen Mo had no choice but to bow slightly and help the emperor to "go back." Gao Gong and Li Quan followed.

After walking a few steps, Long Qing let go of his wrist and grabbed Shen Mo's wrist, grabbed his palm again, uncovered his sleeve and pulled out his left arm, and there was a red and swollen scar on a section of white skin, which was very vivid. He whispered to Shen Mo, "You see, the sores on my body have not yet been scarred!" ”

Shen Mo looked at it, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour, "The emperor wants to recuperate, and after this summer, he will definitely recover." ”

"Who knows whose body", Long Qing said disheartenedly: "My illness started in the first month, sometimes good and sometimes bad, but my body is not as good as day by day." Speaking of this, he shed tears again, and Shen Mo hurriedly comforted him softly.

Gao Gong followed behind and asked Li Quandao in a low voice: "What's the matter, Your Majesty?" ”

"It's been good in the morning, getting up and dressing, washing and eating, it's all fine." Li Quan was also confused, and whispered: "Who knew that as soon as I got out of the Qianqing Palace, I just sat in the sedan chair, and I shouted to come down." Then, for some reason, he came here in one breath, and then began to speak into the clearing...... Sixth, the words behind are obviously not something that his subordinates can export," but Li Quan still gave Gao Gong a hint and made an open voice.

"huā......" Gao Gong suddenly understood, no longer paid attention to this stubble, sighed and asked, "Is the sores on the emperor's body healed?" ”

"No", Li Quan's voice became lower and lowered: "It's getting more and more powerful these days." ”

"Didn't you call Li Shizhen?" Gao Gong said: "It's been a month, and it hasn't gotten better?" ”

"Alas......" Li Quan sighed again, "obviously it is another word that cannot be said for the foreign ministers."

At this time, the emperor and Shen Mo in front had already gone to the golden platform, and Long Qing looked up at the golden and glorious majestic top of the Huangji Palace, and suddenly stomped his feet, and said hatefully: "The ancestors have been in the world for two hundred years, and they are today. The country has a long monarch, which is the blessing of the community! But the prince is still too young, how can this be good! He said it several times in a row, stomping his foot once, and then shaking his silent hand, very restless.

"The emperor has no borders, why do you say this?" Shen Mo was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly comforted: "You are in the prime of spring and autumn" is just an accidental minor illness, and it will be good to recuperate for a while. ”

Gao Gong in the back also heard it, and hurriedly asked Li Quan not to follow, and walked to the emperor's side and said, "Your Majesty, don't think nonsense" and say something unlucky. ”

Long Qing was indifferent when he heard this, staring at them with dead eyes. Suddenly, he pulled them aside and whispered in a low voice: "You are all my teachers, and you are also my assistants, and now someone is bullying me, do you care or not?" ”

"Who dares to bully the emperor?" Gao Gong asked cautiously.

"Who ......" Long Qing was stunned for a moment, then frowned tightly, and said vaguely: "In the palace, ...... in the palace", his voice became smaller, and then gradually increased: "Nu'er huāhuā, Nu'er huāhuā, where did you hide Nu'er huāhuā?" ”

"This ......" Gao Gong was speechless for a moment. @。
