Just when Shen Mo was entangled in his life's events, thousands of miles away in Yanjing City, a major event happened that was enough to change the trajectory of his life...... On the Chinese New Year's Eve of the 33rd year of Jiajing, the fire trees and silver flowers in the capital never sleep, and the Xiyuan Yuxi Palace was also full of joy.

In the Ming generation, all officials wanted to congratulate Wanshou on this day, and the right to do it was to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor. No one said anything depressing during the New Year, and they all picked up the nice writing, so Emperor Jiajing, who had been worried for a whole year, decided to take a good look at these greeting sheets, in order to be physically and mentally happy, and better communicate with the five emperors.

But no matter how sweet the honey is, you will get tired of eating too much. If you read too much about 'Shengshou Ankang' and 'Longevity Without Borders', it will also make the emperor feel bored, so he threw the notebook in his hand and said: "Nothing is fresh?" ”

Huang Jin, who was serving on the side, said with a smile: "This shows that all the adults have the same respect for Your Majesty. ”

Jiajing scolded with a smile: "It's like smearing honey on your mouth, just don't look at it." With his foot, he kicked the tall stacks of congratulatory watches and kicked these colorful pieces to the ground.

He was just about to ask Huang Jin to clean it up, but when he saw that there was a black cover among them, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Who is so ignorant?" ”

Following His Majesty's gaze, Huang Jin also saw the dazzling movement, and only felt that it was okay to tell him, but under the emperor's nose, where did he dare to make trouble, so he had to obediently pick it up and raise his hands to the emperor.

Emperor Jiajing took it with a sinking face, and glanced at the name on the cover, it was 'Jinyi Wei Experience Division Shen Lian. He still has some impressions of this name, and that was when I besieged the city this autumn and asked for a mutual market. Emperor Jiajing once issued an edict asking the ministers to express their views on the matter, but before the cabinet opinion was issued, except for Zhao Zhenji, the secretary of the Guozijian Division, who clearly objected, the rest of the ministers remained silent.

In this shameful silence, Shen Lian stood up and publicly expressed his support for Zhao Siye's opinion. This made the hundred officials very unable to get off the stage, so Xia Bangmo, the secretary of the ministry, suddenly jumped out and said disdainfully: "The little official can be a book? ”

Yu Dayou was also asked about this back then, and he chose to remain silent at that time. But Shen Lian would not be silent, he was not afraid to say: "Jinyi Wei has experienced Shen Lian also!" The minister does not speak, so the little official speaks. ”

"It's a tough bone." Jiajing smiled faintly in his heart, but when he opened Shen Lian's recital, he immediately couldn't laugh, and saw that on the snow-white paper, the awe-inspiring silver hook iron painting was written:

"I am the old example, and when I say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, the ministers should be congratulated. However, the minister was lonely and the guilty minister Shen Lian, who was afraid all night, and Situ reported that Gai was not better than the thief who asked the country. Fang Jin's outer thieves are my answers, and the thieves are only Yan Song, and no internal thieves do not go, but those who can be excluded from thieves. Today's university scholar Song, the surname of greed is terminally ill, and the heart of ignorance is stubborn in iron and stone, which is really a huge annihilation of the country. Please take the ten sins of Song as Your Majesty:

Although Song does not have the name of the prime minister, his power is even greater than that of the prime minister since ancient times, so that the world only knows that there is a Yan prime minister, but does not know that there is a Jiajing emperor. One of its sins.

Steal the power of the king, and make a guest. The court rewarded one person and said, 'I will reward him,' and punished one person, saying, 'I will punish him.' Everyone serves the love and dislike of the Yan family, but they don't know the grace and power of the court, and they can't bear to speak! The second sin is also.

There is also the right to take over the officials, although the state and county officials are also taking the goods, causing the official to be bad, and the three crimes are also. The military aircraft that is old and mediocre and misunderstands the country is guilty of four crimes. Yin system officials, don't dare to speak out, five also. Jealousy and jealousy, if you are angry, you will die, and you will die. Zongzi receives wealth, complains about the world, returns wealth to the family, the moon is empty, and the road is scratched, and eight are also. The connection is deep-rooted, and most of the departments and departments are their wings. It is His Majesty's ministers who are all thieves. Nine also.

Since Song has done things, the customs have changed greatly. For more than a decade, bribe-takers have been in high positions, but those who are high-ranking have been sidelined. As a result, the world regards 'law-abiding' as a detour and 'skillful seams' as talent. Regard 'integrity and non-a' as exaggeration, and regard 'sycophancy drilling' as practice. Since ancient times, the customs have not been worse than those said today. It's all because of Song's good profits, and the world is still greedy. Song is good, and the world is still flattering. The source of the Buddha, how can the flow be clear? It is the custom of the world. Ten Deadly Sins also!

Why does Your Majesty love a thief and endure millions of lives in misery?

As for the special promotion of His Majesty Xu Jiemeng, a university scholar, he also violated everything, and did not dare to uphold integrity, so he could not be said to be a negative country. May Your Majesty listen to the words of his ministers and observe the annihilation of Song. or call the two kings, or consult the ministers. The heavier is the constitutional, and the lighter is the lester. Once the inner thief is gone, the outer thief will be eliminated. Even if I answer the Japanese Kou, I will be afraid of His Majesty's holy judgment, and I will lose my courage without a fight.

When the emperor read this piece of music like a knife, in a remote alley outside the Xizhi Gate, in a slightly shabby courtyard. Jin Yiwei experienced official Shen Lian and was having Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with his family.

The red candles on the table are shining, there are fish and meat, wine and vegetables, and drunken chicken and fish that are not common in Yanjing. However, in the face of such a sumptuous feast, Mrs. Shen and their two sons could not swallow, and there was deep sadness on their faces.

Seeing his wife and children so sad, Shen Lian said with an apologetic face: "If it weren't for the fact that I might be taken away at any time, I would have to finish this meal and tell you." ”

Mrs. Shen said with tears in her eyes: "Before entering Beijing, the uncle of the family expected that there would be today, but I didn't expect it to be so soon, and it would be today. ”

The guilt on Shen Lian's face became even heavier, he poured a glass of wine for his wife for the first time, and said softly: "I'm sorry for letting you suffer with me." As she spoke, she picked it up and brought it to her, and Mrs. Shen took the wine and drank it with tears.

Shen Lian poured another glass, and then sent it to his wife and said: "After I go, the children still need you to pull, Xiang'er is already sincere, I don't worry; Only these two children, you have to bother more and don't let them go down a fork in the road. Shen Gon and Shen Bao, who were sitting at the bottom, were only about ten years old, and they were looking at their crying mother and father with a resolute face on their faces with panic.

Mrs. Shen didn't take this cup, but wept and said, "I'm a woman, how can I teach two children well?" ”

Shen Lian said softly: "You can write to Tang Shunzhi, he will definitely help." After thinking about it, he said: "Forget it, let's find silence, it's best to learn from him." ”

"We're going to learn from Daddy." But the children said seriously: "Be a person like Daddy." ”

Shen Lian shook his head and said bitterly: "It's better not to, people like dad are not good, not to mention that they suffer losses and crimes, and they will also affect you." ”

Before the words fell, I heard someone at the door sigh faintly: "Since you know everything, why do you want to do this?" ”

Hearing this voice, Shen Lian sighed in his heart, but immediately returned to normal, he looked at the figure of Wei An standing at the door, and said lightly: "Some things always have to be done, since others dare not do it, then I will do it." ”

Lu Bing came in from outside the door and bowed his hand to Shen Lian and said, "Sir, I'm giving you a New Year's greeting." Shen Lian got up and saluted, "Lord Xie." Then he got up slowly and walked out the door.

As soon as he walked out, Mrs. Shen fainted on the table, and Shen Bao and Shen Gon ran over, hugged Shen Lian's two legs, and cried heartbreakingly.

Shen Lian, who had been sinking like water, finally had ripples, couldn't help but burst into tears, hugged the two children hard, and whispered in their ears: "Don't be a hero." Then he put his hand on their dark sweet hole, and they immediately fainted.

Shen Lian held the two children and said to Lu Bing: "Please, adult." Lu Bing lowered his head, and a man in black came out of the shadows, Shen Lian recognized him as one of the thirteen Taibao, nicknamed 'murderous as hemp'. The man threw an admiring glance at Shen Lian and hissed, "Master Shen can go at ease, whoever wants to hurt his sister-in-law and the two sons-in-law must first step over my Zhu San's corpse." ”

"Please." Shen Lian nodded, and walked outside, and when he walked outside, he couldn't help but look back at the small courtyard where he had lived for a year.

Lu Bing saw that the corners of his eyes were shining, and his heart was like a knife...... Although the two have not been together for too long, they have established a deep friendship, and Lu Bing is deeply moved by Shen Lian's personality and knowledge, and has always regarded him as a mentor and friend.

However, today, he wants to arrest this teacher and this friend with his own hands, which makes Lu Bing, who values love and righteousness, very entangled...... It's just that Shen Lian provoked the emperor this time, and it was Yan Song who impeached, and it was a death impeachment.

The so-called death impeachment does not appear in any article of the "Da Ming Law", and it has never been officially recognized. The targets of its impeachment are often the kind of big people whose words are enough to determine life and death, and the charges of impeachment are enough to put the other party to death, and it is the most violent attack launched by the impeacher in a weak position to gamble his life against an enemy who does not share the same hatred.

It's just that the result of this kind of contest of disparities in strength is often doomed from the beginning -- the weak will die for life, and the strong will continue to be at large.

Shen Lian didn't know the consequences of doing this, his senior brother Tang Shun, who was well versed in the heart and familiar with the way of struggle, also wrote a letter to advise after Zhang Jing's accident: "May you pay attention, and the immortal karma should be done in the deacon." He persuaded him bitterly, hoping that he would not come forward when the party was like Zhongtian, so as to avoid disasters.

Shen Lian knew very well that Tang Shunzhi's words were right. Death impeachment is indeed not a good way, not to mention your own bad luck, it will also harm your relatives and friends. But after a painful struggle, he still resolutely decided to impeach Yan Song to death!

Because he has seen clearly that the Ming Dynasty has reached today, the culprit of all this is Yan Song, without getting rid of Yan Song, there is no hope for the Ming Dynasty! But in the face of this behemoth, he was really powerless, so he could only sacrifice his life and use his loyal soul to ring the first death knell of the collapse of the Yan Party and wake up the conscience that was sleeping in people's hearts.

Who has not died in life since ancient times, and left Dan to take care of his sweat!
