Chapter 770 Long Live Sleeping Late and Sleeping (II)

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

When Zhang Juzheng preemptively proposed the matter of establishing a prince, Shen Mo's situation immediately became embarrassing. If you go along with it, you will inevitably be mistaken by Gao Gong that you are working with Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng to calculate him together, and you will definitely hate yourself; If you want Gao Gong not to misunderstand, you can only stay silent with him, and then explain afterwards, but in that case, the emperor will not be able to explain.

Besides, Zhang Taiyue is desperately saving money for entering the cabinet, if he gives up this opportunity and makes the emperor mutter in his heart, the original advantage of leading Zhang Juzheng will be canceled out all of a sudden.

At this time, Long Qing's gaze had already swept over for the second time, and he was about to wait impatiently.

Time is tight and can't be thought about, not to mention that there is no so-called strategy for both worlds, only the lesser of two evils, Shen silently sank his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister also has this performance"

"Oh......" Long Qing was indeed a little surprised when he saw that it was not Gao Gong who spoke first, but after thinking about it, Master Gao might be involved in national affairs, so he felt that he didn't need to take action in person. So the emperor smiled and said, "Shen Aiqing, do you also want to ask for the crown prince?" ”

"Yes......" Shen Mo sighed in his heart, took out the book from his sleeve and said: "Please set up the crown prince as soon as possible, and ...... the country and the people's hearts ."

"Pick up, pick up......" Long Qing said happily: "Pick it up quickly......"

Silent but not a little happy, my heart was full of calculating anger, whose means are these, so old and spicy? His eyes couldn't help but look behind Lao Xu Jie, and said secretly, is it you again, do you see that I have been too close to Gao Gong recently, and deliberately want to separate the two of us?

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

His mind was groggy and he came down, and he saw Gao Gong waiting for him from a distance. Secretly smiled bitterly, walked over and arched his hand, and was about to speak, but he heard Gao Gong lower his voice and roared: "Why why? Spit was all over his face.

Shen Mo didn't wipe his face, but said sincerely: "If I don't say it, the emperor will think that we have something to say to face, but we want to oppose him in this way......"

"I didn't mean this" Gao Gong waved his hand irritably: "I still have a heart-to-heart with you, and treat you as a confidant and good companion, so you draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle to me like this, and stick a knife in the back"

Shen Mo was not in a hurry, and still said calmly: "I can't inform Zhang Juzheng in advance, I was caught off guard by you." ”

"Until now, do you want to be blinded to me?" Gao Gong stared at his red eyes and roared: "You didn't tell Zhang Juzheng, but let your good teacher know, isn't it the same?" It's just that I didn't expect him to tell Zhang Juzheng again," he said with a strange laugh: "Hahahaha...... I know you must be very awkward in your heart, trying your best to please you, but you still can't compare to other people's illegitimate children, let people give you a pit, send you two words, you deserve it" After speaking, he glared at him fiercely and said: "A hypocrite like you is also worthy of entering the cabinet?" Do your big autumn dreams, go, I won't support you anymore"

He didn't give Shen Mo a chance to explain at all, and after a fierce criticism of his head and face, he turned around and got into the sedan chair angrily, shouting: "Hurry up, go away, stay away from this person"

Looking at the resentful sedan chair, he shook his head silently and helplessly, and then he reached out to touch his face, and found that he had already 'spit on his face', so he could only whisper depressedly: "High beard, high beard, why are you so easy to calculate?" ”

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

In fact, Gao Gong was angry, and Shen Mo was also angry, but he didn't like to be angry with others, so he didn't even go home for a while, and got into a sedan chair and went straight to Xu Wei.

Xu Wei's wife just gave birth to a fat son to him last month, this guy is more than forty years old, and after years of hard work, he finally blossomed and bore fruit, and he was happy in the dark. actually took a long vacation, served the confinement at home, ignored the things outside the window, and only took care of his wife and children.

When he saw Shen Mo coming as if he had lost his soul, his eyes widened and said, "What's wrong brother, it's not yet frost falling?" Why is it wilting? ”

Shen Mo looked at him depressedly, just shook his head and didn't speak.

Xu Wei immediately didn't say a word, turned around and went into the back room.

was silent and full of desolation, and said in his heart: 'People say that they have married a daughter-in-law and forgotten their mother, let alone a friend? At that time, I heard Xu Wei's voice ringing inside: "Lady, I want to go out for a while, there is pig's trotter soup stewed on the stove, and let Cuihua Sheng give you a drink at noon later...... Okay, okay, I'll be back as soon as possible. ”

Shen Mo couldn't help but be stunned, he really couldn't imagine that this Lao Xu was still a model husband.

was in a daze, Xu Wei came out, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, I ask you to cultivate righteousness."

It's a little strange to be silent, why is this person still entertaining me? I went out with him to understand that not far from his home was a special restaurant, and there was a plaque hanging at the door of the store, with the four big characters of 'cultivating righteousness' written on it, and I didn't know if it was the name of the store or what.

When I went in, the store was not big, two stories high, and the decoration was very simple, but it was clean. I heard Xu Wei say: "This boss is from Yunnan, he is good at **, and he is a must-have for cutting chickens for white...... They call it white chicken, and they call it cold chicken. He smiled and said, "I often come here to sit and eat cold chicken." He deliberately used the homonym of 'missed opportunity' to make Shen Mo laugh.

Shen Mo really said: "You have become a glutton." ”

"Hehe, there's nothing to do, otherwise how to spend the years." Xu Wei greeted the shopkeeper with a smile and said, "It's okay as usual." The boss asked the guy to take them upstairs, and the most elegant and quiet single room was served.

Not long after sitting down, Xiao Er served a few plates of vinegared chicken gizzard, chicken liver, and chicken tongue as a refreshing cold dish. There are also two large plates of chicken, one plate is the 'missed opportunity', and the other plate is the oily chicken...... Large pieces of chicken are fried, a twelve-inch plate, and a plate is piled high. Dip in peppercorns and salt.

"Still going to the yamen in the afternoon?" Xu Wei asked.

"How can there be a yamen to go?" Shen Mo smiled bitterly: "I'm still on sick leave." ”

"Then you still go to the early dynasty?" Xu Wei bared his teeth and said to the shopkeeper: "A pot of old white dry." ”

After the wine and food were arranged, Xu Wei poured it for Shen Mo, and without asking what happened, he had a drink with him.

After a few glasses of wine, Xiao Er served hot spicy chicken, wild ginseng chicken soup, and the best 'cultivating righteousness', which is actually steamed pot chicken...... After removing the lid of the steaming pot, I saw that the soup was as clear as water, and the chicken was fragrant. Xu Wei scooped a bowl for Shen Mo and said, "His chickens are all Wuding fat chickens." Chicken is thin and meaty, and fat is tasteless. Duwuding chicken is extremely fat and flavorful, and you will not be disappointed every time you eat it. ”

Silently tasted it, it was really tender, so I ate it with my head bored, and I used three bowls in a row, and I really felt comfortable all over my body, and my qi was a lot smoother. Raised the wine glass and saluted Xu Wei and said, "Thank you......"

"What's the ......" Lao Bai was more intense, a few glasses of wine in his stomach, Xu Wei's face was flushed, he squinted and smiled: "Which of us is with whom, come...... Drink. ”

The two pushed the glass to change the lamp, and unconsciously, the old white dry of the pot of eight taels and one pot saw the bottom, the wine was strong, and the silence was already slightly drunk, he pinched the wine glass, and finally let out a long sigh: "It's difficult......"

"It is difficult to get to the official road, and it is difficult to go to the sky." Xu Wei was even more drunk, shook his head and said, "Do you feel particularly tired of dealing with those old monsters all day long?" ”

"Yes, all the old scheming and hidden deeply." Shen Mo nodded his head and said, "If you don't come cold, it will make you soak up all your hard work." "Those old perverts who have been tempered by Emperor Jiajing, not only Longqing can't parry, but even he feels powerless......

"In comparison, it's better to mix up with Jiajingchao." Xu Wei said with emotion: "At least you don't have to worry about standing in line, as long as you hold the emperor's thigh, you can be left and right, and everything is in danger." After a pause, he said: "Now this Emperor Longqing is not like a master who can control the scene, and the ministers are too strong, and no one can obey anyone." If you want me to say, the era of chaotic warfare among the ministers has arrived, and everyone must show all their energy and energy to deal with this unprecedented and cruel struggle...... The flames of war burned everyone, the winner could dominate, and the loser could only return to his hometown, and it was impossible to take advantage of it as cheaply as the Jiajing Dynasty. ”

Hearing it silently, Xu Wei was admonishing himself, and couldn't help but say solemnly: "Yes, I am still the old thinking of the Jiajing Dynasty, and I have suffered a big loss this time." ”

Seeing that he listened, Xu Wei was very happy, and said more and more publicly: "Chaosheng, ......"

No one called this nickname for this young man, and Shen Mo couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "How do you know?" ”

"Hehe...... Xu Wei laughed and said, "If you drink with your old man a few times, you will have no secrets." ”

"Okay......" Shen Mo said depressedly, "If you like to call, call it......"

"Chaosheng......" Xu Wei shouted again: "You have to agree." ”

"Hey......" Shen Mo said helplessly: "What's the matter......"

"Let me ask you something," Xu Wei looked at him and said, "Do you have an adulterous affair with Zhang Juzheng?" ”

Shen Mo was looking at Xu Wei with a sip of wine, and when he heard the words, he sprayed all the words on his face, hurriedly put on the mouth cloth, and said with tears and laughter: "Seriously, why are you laughing at me again?" ”

Xu Weihun wiped his face indifferently, and said slowly: "Otherwise, why do you know that he has secretly calculated several times, but why have you always been soft on him?" ”

This sentence can be regarded as saying something in his heart, and he was stunned for a long time when he heard it, yes, why? Could it be that due to the influence of his previous life, subconsciously, he always felt that this person would be the leader of the future reform, so he was always worried that because of his own reasons, it would affect that great reform.

But now Zhang Juzheng, as a reformer, has not yet been revealed, but Zhang Juzheng, as a politician, has made frequent moves, obviously holding back his strength to surpass himself.

"Whatever you think." Xu Wei said in a deep voice: "But remember, only the victor is qualified to be soft-hearted, and when he has not won the war, he must be soft-hearted, and the result can only be finished." ”

Yes, with Zhang Juzheng's strength, he may not be able to win if he fights with all his might, let alone abolish his martial arts?

But as soon as he wanted to start a war with the greatest reformer of the future, Shen Mo felt a suffocation and said: "The country is so big and there are so many things to do, don't you have to live and die, work together to get things done?" ”

"Okay," Xu Wei couldn't imagine that Shen Mo had such an illusion, and couldn't help laughing: "You just need to write a promise that you will never be the first assistant of the cabinet, and I promise that you will immediately become the sweetheart of their competition, and Zhang Juzheng will immediately come to your house to apologize, and he will never calculate you again." ”

"Alas......" Shen Mo buried his head deep between his hands, and sighed: "I know that it is a gladiatorial arena, why is everyone rushing to it?" ”

"The cabinet is a confidential place, and it is easy to be suspicious," Xu Wei held another pot of wine and poured it for Shen Mo: "Moreover, there is a huge disparity in status and power between the first assistant and the second assistant and the group assistant, which is more likely to cause exclusion and replacement...... This is the sinister intention of the designer, that is, to keep the war in the cabinet, and when the emperor is in the middle, no matter who he wants to expel will be supported by one faction, he will never worry that Weifu will be taken away by his subordinates. ”

Shen Mo said thoughtfully: "Yes, this is indeed the root cause. ”

"So either you don't always turn sideways to the cabinet, or you have to do everything you can," Xu Wei raised his glass and said, "Even if you want to change this strange circle of dumping, you can become the first assistant first."

Shen Mo hesitated, but still touched his glass with him and said, "Accept your auspicious words......"

"Don't you think, we're more divided than before." Xu Wei saw that he had not yet thought of telling the matter until now, he was a little unhappy in his heart, pretending to be drunk, and changed his words: "I know that you are looking at me dragging my family, and I am afraid that something will affect me, but if I am only for my own small family, how good it is in Shaoxing, why should I go back to Beijing?" ”

sighed silently, how could he not hear that Xu Wei was taking the initiative to ask for help. But the political arena is treacherous, and Xu Wei is very impulsive, so he is really not suitable for participating in secrets. Then he said: "If you want to defend the Pure Land on the side of Sangonghuai, you, the person in charge, must remain fair and fair, and you can't charge for me like before." ”

"Alas......" Xu Wei sighed, didn't say anything more, and just ate wine with him.

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

The two drank all afternoon. When Shen Mo returned home, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, and Wang Yin and the others already knew what was happening in the court, and they were very worried when they saw him drunk.

Shen Mo waved his hand and laughed: "Don't worry, I'm fine, they won't kill me with one move, and tomorrow we will fight against the army" After speaking, he hummed a little song and staggered back to the backyard.

"What do you sing?" The three strategists looked at each other, and Shen Mingchen whispered: "It seems that what kind of spring breeze is blowing, war drums are beating, who is afraid of whom in this world...... What a domineering song. ”

"Looks like we're worried in vain." Wang Yin twisted his beard and smiled: "My lord is still high-spirited." ”

"Hmm......" Yu Yin nodded: "As long as the adults are not discouraged, it is easy to say anything." ”

"Let's go back to dinner." Shen Mingchen said with a smile: "I've been waiting since noon, and I'm about to starve to death." They were worried about silence, and they had not eaten since they got the news: "If there is anything, we will talk about it tomorrow......"

Silently went back to sleep, got up the next morning, and went to the morning pilgrimage as if nothing had happened.

Who knew that after standing in line in front of the noon gate, he waited for a long time and did not see the palace gate open, until the sky was bright, and the eunuch sent a decree out, saying: 'The holy bow is slightly ill, and today is exempt from the court.' ’

The officials were talking a lot at once, they were already suspicious of the emperor's intention to listen to the government and be absent-minded, and now it is only the third day, and they have issued a decree to exempt the court, which has to make people ask what happened to the emperor.

Xu Jie quieted the hundred officials and said to the eunuch who sent the decree: "The holy bow is sick, and the minister should visit as the chief assistant, and ask the father-in-law to introduce him on his behalf." "The emperor's exemption from the court is a very serious matter, and he has an obligation to find out.

The eunuch said to himself, "The emperor is sick, and no one will see him." ”

"You dare to block the monarch and the ministers from meeting" Xu Jieyin said with a lower face: "Do you want to emulate Liu Jinshi?" ”

The eunuch was the opponent of the old shoufu, so he had to give in and said, "The slave will give you a good idea." ”

"Let's go back to the Yamen office," Seeing that the eunuch had gone, Xu Jie turned around and said to the hundred officials: "The old man will give you an explanation." "After all, the emperor has already issued an order, and he can't disobey it, so he can only disperse the dynasty today.

Baiguanxin said that this doesn't play people? had to turn back to their respective yamen.

Shen Mo had no yamen to go to, so he wanted to go home and sleep. But someone stopped him from behind and said, "Lord Shen"

Looking back, it turned out to be Lao Yang Bo, and he hurriedly said, "Yu Pogong." ”

"Where are you going?" Yang Bo asked.

"Go home and sleep." Shen Mo smiled bitterly: "The lower official is still waiting for an errand." ”

"Since it's okay," Yang Bo said with a smile, "Why don't you go and sit with me?" The old man has admired you for a long time, and he has long wanted to be close to you. ”

"Yu Pogong laughed, the lower officials have admired you for a long time, and they have long wanted to visit." Shen Mo's heart moved, and he arched his hand and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

The two went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials together, and in the duty room where Gao Gong lived that year, they set up a dragon gate array. The two chatted, and the topic quickly focused on the defense of the nine sides, one of them was experienced, the other had unique opinions, and they both felt very happy to enlighten each other and confirm each other.

But Yang Bo never brought the topic to the court, and Shen Mo naturally didn't mention it, but he was still grateful, because for him, the significance of this meeting was far greater than what was discussed.

Finally, when he got up to say goodbye, Shen Mo bowed to the old Yang Boshen and said, "Thank you for taking care of the seniors." ”

"It's nothing," Yang Bo stroked a lot of beard and said with a generous smile: "I just can't get used to them treating others as monkeys." After speaking, he said in a low voice: "I don't know about Rishenglong's affairs, and I never interfere, but after all, they are all fellow villagers, and you still need to give some face." ”

First the city, and then make requirements, the shrewdness of Shanxi people is undoubtedly revealed——

Uh, get up in the morning and finish a chapter......
