Chapter 836: The Last Luàn Fight (Middle)

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

With the strong impetus of the cabinet, the date for the retrial of Wang Jin's case was soon determined.

If it is said that the previous matter of stopping the dismissal of the former ministers of the former dynasty was just a matter of passing the edict within the scope of the ministry, so that people still had a trace of luck in addition to the discussions, then now that the three law divisions have retried the Wang Jin case, the intention of the current cabinet to 'go against the government' will be completely disclosed.

People know that if Gao Gong is really allowed to turn this case over, the national policy set by Xu Ge Lao will be completely overturned; The old man who was far away in Songjiang would also have a greatly weakened influence on the imperial court...... At least on the bright side, no one dares to talk about his old rules anymore, and the Xu Party will most likely lose control of the government. What this consequences mean, every member of the Xu Party knows very well......

Under the nest, how many eggs are gone? Xu Dang has reached the most dangerous time!

Under the heavy pressure, Zhao Zhenji finally couldn't sit still, and one night before the trial, he invited Zhu Heng, who had just come down from the river embankment, to come to his house for dinner and discussion.

On this day, he went home early, instructed the kitchen to tidy up a sumptuous banquet, and waited for Zhu Heng to arrive.

It's rare to invite back guests, and the guests are still so late, according to Zhao Zhenji's xìng zi in the past, how ugly his face sè has been thrown over. But now is an extraordinary period, and Zhu Heng is a veteran of the Xu Party, so he can only suppress his temper and ask with a smile on his face: "Shi Nan, why did you come now?" You can get three glasses of wine. ”

Zhu Heng was dressed in civilian clothes, his beard was white, and there was still a thick tiredness from the river embankment on his body, and he smiled when he heard the tiredness: "You have to wait until it gets dark to get out of the mén." ”

"This is not what you Zhu Shinan said...... Zhao Zhenji greeted him into the table, and said lightly: "When I was exiled by Yan Song for the first time, you sent me thirty miles in front of everyone, and I was not afraid of anyone." ”

"......" Hearing his words, Zhu Heng was a little distracted, as if recalling those hot-blooded days, but soon shook his head gloomily and said: "When people are old, their courage is xiǎo." ”

"I don't like to hear that." Zhao Zhenji poured him wine and said, "How do I feel that I am old and strong, a top two?" ”

"Hehe......" Zhu Heng looked at his hard mouth, and said in his heart, then why are you looking for me? Of course, he didn't say it and stabbed him, but looked around, resumed his conversation, and said, "Such a sumptuous table of wine, just the two of us to eat?" ”

"Who else can I invite?" Although Zhao Zhenji had a stomach full of bitter water, he pretended to be relaxed on his face, and asked teasingly: "Why don't you go and find two xiǎo ladies to sing music and wine for the two of us?" ”

"Forget it," Zhu Heng said with a wry smile: "You are looking for me at this time, there must be something." Still have the heart to drink huā wine? Said a little narrowly: "Besides, are you that kind of person?" ”

"That's right......" Zhao Zhenji is self-conscious and never touches the nvsè, but he said that he wanted to find a kabuki to sing, which can only show that he is absent-minded and talks nonsense casually. Seeing that he was poked by Zhu Heng, Zhao Zhenji blushed and said: "Drink and drink......" As he spoke, he touched a glass with Zhu Heng as the owner.

The two drank a few glasses of wine and ate a few bites of food, and the atmosphere was a little silent. Zhao Zhenji looked at his old friend, who didn't care on the surface, but in fact, he was also worried. At this time, he cut to the chase and asked him: "Shi Nan, do you know about the retrial of Wang Jin's case?" ”

"Although I just came back, I have heard about it," Zhu Heng nodded and replied: "Gao Suqing insisted that killing Wang Jin is tantamount to admitting that the first emperor died unexpectedly, so asking the law department to retry it has become a big news in the capital, who else can not know?" ”

"Before that, he also stopped the old ministers of the former dynasty, although this matter was only announced in the ministry, but it spread in the capital." Zhao Zhenji said with a dark face: "The heart of the tall beard is already known to passers-by, Shi Nan, if we don't fight back, we can only sit and wait to die!" ”

"There are so many people in the cabinet," Zhu Heng listened silently, and when Zhao Zhenji finished speaking, he opened his mouth lightly and said, "Let the tall beard come here?" ”

"Don't mention the cabinet, I won't be angry when I mention it," Zhao Zhenji's face became ugly: "Speaking of which, four of the seven people are Xu Ge's students, as if they are very remarkable." But in reality? When Shousuke shrunk all day long and didn't say anything; When the second assistant made it clear that the chariot and the horse and the tall beard were in the group...... It's okay for these two stepmothers to raise them, but even Zhang Juzheng, the mén student who Xu Ge has devoted all his efforts, is also there with the surname Gao, and he is not far from deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors! As he spoke, he drank the wine in the cup, slapped the wine cup on the table and said, "Alas, you said that Xu Ge Lao Jīng Ming I, why did he use such white-eyed wolves?" ”

"So......" Zhu Heng was still a little lucky in his heart, and when he heard this, he sank to the bottom and said: "Your cabinet has been isolated?" ”

"You can't say that...... Zhao Zhenji said a little embarrassed: "Chen Yiqin and I are fellow villagers......"

"Alas......" Zhu Heng still put this in his heart, and sighed heavily when he heard the words: "Meng Jing, haven't you seen it yet?" Trend...... It's not on our side anymore. ”

"Fart!" Zhao Zhenji was like a cat with his tail stepped on, and he said: "You can't just look at the cabinet, don't forget, the officials of the science and Taoism are all on our side, as well as those ministries and local governors, our strength is better than them!" ”

"Yes......" Zhu Heng said a little depressed: "I admit that you are right, there are two capitals and thirteen provinces, there are more of us, and it is not so easy for him to win with a high beard...... But the threshold is, can we win him? ”

"This ......" Zhao Zhenji is not a blind and arrogant person, knowing that after Xu Ge grew old, the students he sent to the cabinet also had different intentions. In fact, the reason why Zhao Zhenji is flying in the cabinet is not a kind of bluff to protect the Xu Party?

But facing Zhu Heng, who knew the roots, he didn't have to hide it, and there was no need to hide it, and after thinking for a while, he said dejectedly: "I can't win ......"

"What's the point of going on?" Zhu Heng said for Zhao Zhenji: "At most, it's just a few more years for the imperial court to húnluàn ......."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhao Zhenji became vigilant and said, "Old Zhu, you don't want to turn your elbow out, do you?" ”

"Where," Zhu Heng picked up the chopsticks and smiled: "I just feel that the Ming Dynasty is like this now, just like a broken ship full of holes, if the people on this boat don't work together and help each other, if the boat capsizes at that time, no one can run." ”

Listening to Zhu Heng's words, Zhao Zhenji's heart was half cold. He originally expected Zhu Heng to take the lead in leading those clear streams and cooperate with him to compete with Gao Gong, but he didn't expect that this Zhu Shinan would be unusual, and actually took the surrender route...... If it weren't for the fact that he had been in love for many years, and even Zhu Heng was an upright person, he really suspected that the other party was going to sell himself and take refuge. Thinking about it, Zhao Zhenji's heart jumped up, and he said coldly: "Brother Shinan, what did the tall beard give you to eat, tonight, you put gold on his face?" ”

"That's not what I mean...... Zhu Heng said softly: "I'm just thinking, Gao Gong is indeed a capable person, he can really turn things that others can't think of into reality, Da Ming really needs such a person at the helm now to get out of the predicament......"

"Enough!" Zhao Zhenji finally couldn't help it, slapped the table heavily, knocked over the cups, shook the chopsticks, and shook the vegetable soup on the plate everywhere: "You sing praises to him, what kind of person is the tall beard, look at what he has done recently, his evil heart will be revealed!" Saying that, the tiger with red eyes roared: "You think that I am ready to fight him to the death in order to fight for power and profit, then you are too much to look at me Zhao Mengjing!" ”

Zhu Heng was stunned by him, put down his chopsticks and hung his head silently.

"Xu Ge Lao risked offending those civil and military ministers and scholars who catered to flattery and invited favor and power in the Jiajing Dynasty, and also insisted on promulgating the "Jiajing Edict", how great it is, I think you also know it, right?" But Zhao Zhenji didn't care about him, and said loudly to himself: "What kind of person is the first emperor?" I don't think anyone knows, right? Otherwise, why did Hai Jui appear in "The First Sparse in the World"? Jiajing Jiajing, every family is clean! The people of the world are not worth Your Majesty's long-term life! If it weren't for the fact that the first emperor was talking too badly, could these words come out of the mouths of his courtiers? ”

"In the twenty years that Da Prison, Da Li, and Yan Song have been in power, how many loyal and good people have suffered mishaps and hated for life? Shouldn't these people be reinstated and their reputations restored? The anger on Zhao Zhenji's face was by no means an action, it was definitely caused by the pain from the heart: "The first emperor wasted state affairs, Shen mí Zhai Jiao, favored Fangshi, and successively had a series of so-called national teachers such as Shao Yuanjie, Tao Zhongwen, Lan Daoxing, Xiong Xian, Wang Jin, etc., and led the first emperor to not do his job, Shen mí in the house, and also took all kinds of gold and stone made of Dan yào for a long time, almost constantly, is it not that the death of the first emperor has nothing to do with them?" ”

Facing Zhao Zhenji's questioning, Zhu Heng had to nod and say, "What you said is good." ”

"Then "Jiajing's Edict" is right!" Zhao Zhenji said angrily: "The first emperor went against human feelings, severely frustrated the vitality of the country, and was angry and resentful, so there was a "Edict" that dialed up the hearts of the people anyway!" In the past two years, the country has been able to transition smoothly, and now it is gradually recovering. If we allow the high arch to reverse black and white and spill the "Edict", not to say that we are worthy of Xu Gelao, but to say that we can be worthy of our conscience? ! ”

Zhao Zhenji's words made Zhu Heng speechless, and he said softly for a long time: "What you said is right, but the historical mission of the "Edict" has ended, and if it continues, it can only restrain the next reform." ”

"Reform and reform, it turns out that you were also infected by the surname Gao!" Zhao Zhenji suddenly realized: "He wants to learn to be Wang Anshi, are you going to be Lu Huiqing?" ”

"......" Zhu Heng sighed and said, "Can't you talk well?" ”

"Can't!!" Zhao Zhenji glared with round eyes: "The ancestral decrees are all there, and all kinds of perfections are perfect!" If they are ...... Oh no, if you change without permission, you have to lose the hearts of the people in the country, and the world will be big! ”

"But the world has reached the edge of the big luàn...... Zhu Heng still wanted to persuade again.

"Nonsense...... Zhao Zhenji said: "Governing a big country is like cooking xiǎo fresh, even if you have a disease, you have to slowly recuperate, and stabilize the word first!" ”

Zhu Heng knew that the Tao was not the same, and it was useless to say more, so Zhao Zhenji scolded Gao Gong and the others, sat for a while, and then got up to say goodbye.

"Don't send ......" Zhao Zhenji and when he greeted him, he said with a frosty face: "Don't come again in the future!" ”

"Alas......" Zhu Heng sighed deeply, got into a sedan chair and left.

After he left, Zhao Zhenji sat in the hall for a long time, after all, he couldn't resist the growing anger in Xiōng, held the table with both hands, and slammed it up, actually overturning a dining table, cups and plates fell to the ground, and it was a mess.

Zhao Zhenji didn't know why Zhu Heng defected, and he didn't want to explore, even if all these former comrades-in-arms defected, he was still a cabinet minister and the imperial history of the left capital, and with the backing of hundreds of officials in the national inspection system, he could also fight to the end!

For the sake of the right path in the world, we must not retreat!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the same time, a banquet was also being held in the Shen Pavilion Old Mansion, which was separated by several streets, but the atmosphere was much better than that of the Zhao Mansion...... Sun Yan, the governor of Shandong, returned to Beijing to take up his post, preparing to replace Tang Ruji, who was returning to Beijing, as the governor of Jiangnan.

Sun Piyang, the secretary of Dali Temple, naturally arrived, and during the banquet, it was convenient for him to come out, but he was called to the study by the housekeepers, and saw the silence of leaving the banquet in the name of changing clothes.

Sun Piyang knew that looking for himself silently was definitely not a small talk, otherwise what could not be said in front?

Shen Mo also knew his cold xìngzi, so he didn't talk nonsense: "It's going to be tried tomorrow, and I think you also know that this case is related to the direction of the court situation in the next few years......"

"I'm just a Dali Siqing, and the presiding judge is the Máo Ministry." Sun Piyang really has a good impression of this kind of blatant play of the law.

"You misunderstood...... Shen Mo smiled faintly, "I mean, you have to do your best to find out, don't be afraid of resistance." After a pause, he said: "I also said the same thing on the side of the máo department, although the case is handled impartially, everything is on my shoulder." ”

"Are you worried about ......" Sun Piyang knew that he was mistakenly silent, and after thinking about it, he understood his worries: "Zhao Zongxian will use power to suppress people and interfere with the trial?" ”

"It's almost a certainty......," said silently, frowning, "If he starts a surge, even I will have to stay away, I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand it......"

"I'll do my best," Sun Piyang said bitterly, "Can he be fair?" ”

The wonderful thing is that both sides want to feel that they occupy the word 'justice', but they don't know who is really fair and who is fake justice-
