"The autumn rain is continuous, the cold and humidity is unbearable......" When I heard Yan Nian outside, Li Fang came again. Yan Song let out a long sigh, glanced at his wife who was stiff on the hospital bed, and slowly walked out of the bedroom with the support of the maid.

Maybe it was the second meeting in a short period of time that made both parties a little less polite. After a salute, Li Fang conveyed the will of Emperor Jiajing and showed Yan Song the accounts of Suzhou.

Yan Songtui said that the words were too small to read clearly, so he asked him to put them there. Li Fang smiled and said, "The emperor ordered that the elder must answer in person." Said with a smile and said, "Otherwise, the miscellaneous family will read it to you." ”

"Then it will be bothering my father-in-law." Yan Song was helpless and nodded in agreement.

Li Fang read it to him word by word, and Yan Song listened patiently at first, but later, he simply closed his eyes and recuperated, with his left ear in and his right ear out. By the time Li Fang finished reading it easily, he was almost asleep.

"Master, master......" Seeing Li Fang's embarrassed expression, Yan Nian hurriedly whispered.

Yan Song woke up in shock, glanced at Li Fang blankly, and said, "Oh...... Good, good, just do it. ”

Li Fang is so depressed, she said in her heart that I thought I was asking you for instructions? He laughed dryly and said, "Hehe...... Elder Ge, did Your Majesty ask you what to do? ”

Yan Song smiled bitterly: "Father-in-law Li, the old man is behind his ears, and when he heard a sentence missing, he didn't understand what you meant." ”

Li Fang knew that he was pretending to be confused, but he didn't know why the dignified old man was so weak. But there is no doubt that this is no longer a question, so I can only leave the bad account first and go back to my life.

He was about to say goodbye, but was stopped by Yan Song, and said slowly: "Gonggong Li, you are the longest by the emperor's side, but the old man is not short, counting on his fingers, there have been more than thirty spring and autumn seasons, Your Majesty's intention to let you come to me, how can the old man not know?" ”

Li Fang didn't speak, and listened to him continue: "You go back and tell Your Majesty that I will discipline those things that are not angry, and I will not let Your Majesty worry about it anymore." ”

Li Fang smiled and said, "You said that a long time ago, isn't it the end of everything?" "Having said that, the feet are rooted, and they just don't move their nests.

Yan Song knew that this was to let him talk less empty words and come up with something practical, so he said: "Please ask your father-in-law to report on your behalf, and Rong Weichen will have a few days to investigate this matter clearly, and then immediately enter the palace and give His Majesty an explanation." ”

Li Fang nodded, and finally said goodbye and left.

Looking at his disappearing back, Yan Song bowed down, stared into the distance with blank eyes, and raised his hand for a long time before saying, "Help me back to the bedroom." Yan Nian helped him and returned to the inner room tremblingly.

Mrs. Ouyang, who was sick in bed, finally woke up, saw Lao Yan Song's worried face, and asked softly, "Is Shifan causing you trouble again?" ”

Yan Song shook her head, but the two of them couldn't hide it from the Ouyang family at all, she sighed and said: "In our life, we have all occupied Fu Shoulu, and everyone is very envious, it is said that I should have no regrets, but this son, let me go is not steady......"

Yan Song sighed heavily and said, "If it weren't for the beginning, you and your mother-in-law protected him like chickens and didn't let you touch him, how could you have such worries today?" He was young and poor, and later his parents died, and he returned to his hometown twice to live in seclusion, both of which lived in his father-in-law's house.

"After more than ten years of marriage, there is only such a baby bump," Ouyang said: "If I play three long and two short again, how can I live?" ”

Yan Song ...... silently He has no heirs since he got married, and the whole person is going to despair. Unexpectedly, at the age of thirty-two, he had such an only son, coupled with his extreme intelligence since childhood, and his reading and forgetfulness, made him extremely proud. Naturally, he doted on and cared for in every way, but he was really afraid of breaking it in his hand, and he was afraid of melting it in his mouth, even if his wife and mother-in-law didn't protect it, he was reluctant to touch it. Therefore, Yan Shifan has developed an arrogant surname since he was a child...... But at first, I looked at myself, and it wasn't outrageous.

When Yan Shifan became an adult, Yan Song began to soar, serving with the emperor at night, and did not go home several times a year. Yan Song ignored his son's bad deeds, and only thought that with his own power, his son could do whatever he wanted, and he didn't have any scruples at all...... Until one time, when Yan Shifan was annihilating a woman from a good family, his left eye was gouged out! Nearly lost his life.

After that time, Yan Shifan reined in, changed to Yinle in the house, and was enthusiastic about political affairs, and soon showed his expertise in conspiracy, and made great contributions to Yan Song's political enemies.

Yan Song greatly appreciated Yan Shifan's conspiracy and strategy, thinking that his son was his good helper, but ignored the bold and unscrupulous rage factor in his surname. At that time, Yan Song was not yet old, and he could still press him and let him not do things too outrageously.

But with the passage of time, Yan Ge was old and weak, mentally exhausted, and had to serve the emperor at night, so he no longer had the time and energy to deal with government affairs. Therefore, the decision of big and small affairs can only rely on his son, always saying, 'I will decide after I discuss with Donglou Xiaoer', and even privately let Yan Shifan directly enter the value and draft the vote on his behalf...... The draft vote is the cabinet after receiving the following piece of law to make a reply, and then submit it to the emperor for approval, which is an important embodiment of the power of the cabinet ministers.

Yan Shifan is extremely smart and can always guess the holy will, so the results he drafted on behalf of his father can always cater to Emperor Jiajing's wishes, so he has been rewarded by the emperor many times. Yan Song simply handed over all government affairs to his son, and as a result, Shifan was even more lawless for a while, and even his father was not taken seriously.

But the facts sadly prove that Yan Shifan's genius is limited to flattery, harming people and making money, and he is completely ignorant of the way to govern the country with authority. It's just that the party is the same and the party fights against the other, and sells the official mantle...... Although Yan Song also did these things, he also knew that governing the country could not rely on those dogs who waged their tails and begged for mercy, and they had to use those who had the ability to cover them, such as Tang Shunzhi, Pan Jitao, Tan Lun and a number of other famous ministers, who did not bribe him, but held important positions under his promotion.

But when you come to Yan Shifan, no matter how capable you are, as long as you don't add to my feet, I'm sorry, where to stay cool, there is no public heart at all, and as a result, the sky is angry and resentful, and the good situation after the elimination of Li Mo has been exhausted in a few years, and there are countless enemies in the government and the opposition.

What's even more terrifying is that from the change in the emperor's attitude, Yan Song can also feel the emperor's dissatisfaction, he should want to reverse the current situation, but now Yan Shifan's wings are stiff, and he doesn't listen to him at all. Elder Yan Ge is really powerless now, and he can't regret it...... "Persuade him again......" Ouyang said softly: "We are just this one son, we can't watch him go to the road of no return, right?" ”

"Got it......" Yan Song nodded and whispered.

At the same time, Chen Hong also arrived at the Wuyi Palace...... Xu Ge Lao is here almost every night, and he doesn't need to go to his house to look for it.

Xu Jie respectfully listened to Jiajing's command, respectfully accepted the order, and then got up and said, "Father-in-law has worked hard." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Although Chen Hong is strict with the party, he does not want to offend this unfathomable cabinet assistant, after all, no one can say what will happen in the future.

"Zhu Biao of Liaodong Folds last night," Xu Jie said softly: "It has been transferred to a cabinet order, please take it back and submit it to the Imperial Review, if there is no problem, hurry up and use the seal to issue it." "Although the cabinet can directly command the household department, in the event of such a major event, it must also have Jiajing's jade seal.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Chen Hong still said the same mantra, and said with a smile: "There is another thing, Your Majesty said, the court meeting the day after tomorrow, let's postpone it first." ”

Xu Jie frowned when he heard this: "Didn't you say something good?" "It has long been decided, and the court meeting will be held on the fifth day of the first month of this month, and he is ready to impeach Wu Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Yan Maoqing, the governor of the lawsuit, at that court meeting...... Of course, it depends on Li Shizhen's side whether she can determine Mrs. Ouyang's health condition.

Chen Hong was amused when he heard it, and said with a smile: "Elder Xu Ge, you have to ask Your Majesty about this." ”

"Okay," Xu Jie nodded and said, "I'll face the saint." ”

"Your Majesty is busy." Chen Hong shook his head and said, "Let's be honest with you, Ge Lao, the master is angry this time, and no one will see him until he is angry." ”

"Oh......" Xu Jie nodded slowly and stopped talking...... But his heart was cold, he knew this emperor too well, once he encountered something that was difficult to decide, he would be a turtle with a shrunken head, and no one would see him. But the sad thing is that the emperor did not retreat to think about countermeasures, but used the method of procrastination to drag things out cold, dilute, and then get better and dilute. If both sides are still not satisfied, they will be beaten with fifty boards each until they are served...... 'Is it another futile repetition?' Xu Jie groaned weakly in his heart, he was almost desperate.

Drizzling, Tongzhou Wharf seemed to be shrouded in a layer of white gas, silently wearing a thin cotton robe, holding an umbrella in one hand, holding the usual in the other, standing on the trestle of the official ship, looking at his wife and children with tenderness in his eyes.

Ajihe was very little to do, just cheering for a different experience, jumping around him, cheering: "Take a boat, take a boat......"

Rou Niang also held an oil-paper umbrella, bowed her head and whispered: "Master, don't you really want to go back with us?" ”

"Being an official is not free," Shen Mo said softly, "How can you leave Beijing casually?" ”

"Otherwise, the concubine will stay." Rou Niang whispered: "You must have someone by your side." ”

"What do you usually do?" Shen Mo looked down at his sleeping son, and chuckled, "He can't leave his mother for a moment." ”

"I usually stay." Rou Niang whispered.

"Nope." Shen Mo shook his head and said categorically: "No one is allowed to stay, even Ruohan was stunned by me and sent to the ship, can't you still feel my determination?" "Ruohan has to take the 'Yangrong Pill' every time he gets up, but this morning he ate the added version that Shen Mo asked Li Shizhen to match...... It is the hemp boiled from the mandala flower...... Before he could react, he fell asleep, and it was said that it would take two days to wake up.

Although Shen Mo didn't say anything to her, Rou Niang also felt that something big was about to happen. She tightly pulled the corners of her silent clothes, and said with red eyes: "Master, you can't be okay." ”

Shen Mo patted her face and smiled: "Silly girl, don't worry." With the master bless me, I won't be fine if anything happens to me. As he spoke, he looked at the bow of the ship and said to the old boat: "Get ready to go!" ”

When the time of separation came, he kissed the ordinary in his arms, carefully handed it to Rou Niang, squatted down again, hugged his two sons, and said softly: "Be obedient, don't always make your mother angry, like an adult, protect our family......"

Ajihe nodded very incomprehensibly.

"Kiss Daddy." With a silent smile, the two children hugged his neck left and right, and kissed him vigorously on both cheeks, making a loud 'pop' sound.

Silently hugged his son's soft little body, he was really reluctant to let go, his nose was sore, and his eyes were almost red.

He hurriedly took a deep breath, got up with his two sons in his arms, handed them over to Tie Zhu's arms, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, I have instructed you everything I should instruct, let's be brothers, you will not let me down." ”

Tie Zhu nodded heavily, and said in a deep voice: "Unless your subordinates are crushed, no one should think of touching a single hair of the lady and the young master." ”

Shen Mo nodded and said, "Please!" With that, he waved his hand and motioned for him to hurry up and get on the boat.

Tie Zhu looked at him deeply, then turned around and left with the two children in his arms, Aji was happy at first, but seeing that Shen Mo did not follow, he called him loudly...... When the pedals were removed and the boat slowly left the dock, the two children finally knew that they were going to be separated from their father, so they let out a heart-rending cry: "Daddy, I want daddy......"

Hearing the immature and sad child's voice, the tears that Shen Mo had been holding back finally flowed irrepressibly...... The rain became heavier and heavier, and he threw away his umbrella, letting the rain and tears mix together, and no one could tell the difference.

Because of the rain, when I returned to Yanjing from Tongzhou, I caught a cold in silence, kept sneezing, had a runny nose, and felt cold wrapped in three quilts. I couldn't help but laugh at myself in my heart: 'This is really a shame to die and suffer a crime!' ’

If you are sick, you naturally have to see a doctor, and the doctor naturally has to invite the best, and the best doctor is in the house...... Li Shizhen was pulled from the pile of materials by three feet, looked at the silent tongue coating, tested his pulse, and said: "It's just an occasional cold, drink more brown sugar ginger water, cover it tightly and sleep well." "After that, I will go back to my work.

Shen Mo grabbed him and said resolutely: "You must prescribe medicine for me!" ”

Li Shizhen ridiculed him when he heard this: "The official is afraid of death, this has to be put on the people, which is not carried by the people, and your body is expensive." Having said that, he still put pen to paper to list a prescription to dispel wind and cold and cultivate vitality, and gave Sanqi Zhao prescription to catch medicine.

According to what he thought, Shen Mo should be fine the next day, but at the same time, Sanchi ran over again and said in a panic: "Mr. Li, my family is seriously ill!" ”

Li Shizhen was also surprised, put down her pen and said, "Take me to have a look." Walking quickly to Shen Mo's bedroom, seeing him curled up on the bed motionless, Li Shizhen hurried over, took Shen Mo's hand, and changed his face after a few breaths. Just as he was about to speak, he felt his hand tighten, and he was held hard by Shen Mo.

"You're not sick...... Li Shizhen whispered.

"I'm not sick," Shen Mo said softly, "but I was caught in a nightmare, so I passed out in bed." ”

"Isn't this talking nonsense with your eyes open?" Li Shizhen rolled her eyes and said.

"Do you want to get rid of Yan Dang?" Shen Mo said softly.

"I dream of it." Li Shizhen said: "If you are caught in a nightmare, can you get rid of Yan Dang?" ”

"Yes." Shen Mo nodded and said, "It's magical." ”

"Nonsense......" Li Shizhen laughed: "What about when I am a three-year-old child?" ”

"When did I lie to you?" Shen Mo asked.

"You've cheated less, haven't you?" Li Shizhen has a deep grudge.

"Hey......" Shen Mo couldn't help but be speechless, and laughed quietly: "Did I say something big?" ”

This Li Shizhen was really not impressed, so he shook his head honestly and said, "I don't know." ”

"You're so cautious!" Shen Mo laughed and scolded.

"I believe you ......" Li Shizhen suddenly said: "Say, what do you want me to do?"

Shen Mo smiled embarrassedly: "We really know each other very well......"

Since he was injared, it was not within the scope of the doctor's treatment. In the afternoon of the same day, Sanchi went to the nearby Taiping Temple, invited a Taoist who specializes in exorcism to come to his house, painted peach charms, burned yellow paper, and killed a poor black dog, tossed all night, and went back early the next morning.

Not to mention whether Shen Mo has recovered here, just say that the Taoist priest who exorcised the demon returned to the temple, reported to the master, handed over the money given by the Shen family, and went back to sleep.

The head of the sect retreated and practiced for three days, then changed into a cyan robe, and went to Xiyuan in an ox cart, he was a registered disciple of the Blue Immortal, and he would enter the palace one day a month to serve.

What kind of drama will be staged in the vermilion palace gate......
