Xufu "back study."

Xu Ge Lao leaned quietly on the recliner, and Li Xiang, who had just finished reporting to him, sat beside him.

After listening to the situation of today's trial, Xu Jiecang sighed and said: "It is worthy of my Daming Divine Sword" As soon as it came out of the sheath, it was easy to get rid of ghosts. ”

Seeing that Yuan Weng was still in the mood to praise Hai Rui, "Li Xiang's heart has been hanging, and he has also let go of his understanding of Xu Jie for so many years, this old man has the prime minister's city government, and he has no prime minister's bearing, in other words, he is scheming, and his heart is xiǎo, and now he can still pretend to be a big-tailed wolf here, which means that the matter is still in his control."

"It's a pity, it's just a little bit", no matter what he thought in his heart, Li Xiang didn't slack off at all: "This sword is going to hurt that person." ”

"It's not a pity. If you go down the trial, you will have to check the East Factory, and the palace will not agree. Xu Jie shook his head and said, "Now that the heat is just right, we can catch yào according to the prescription...... Let someone choreograph my student, too. He has always cherished Yu Máo, and he doesn't need any evidence, just the unfounded rumors are enough to make him unable to sit still. ”

"Is there still a need for the case to be tried?" Li Xiang asked: "I think that Hai Rui is a disaster star, and if he continues to toss, I don't know what he will find out." ”

"It's already involved in the cabinet, it's not to be tried, otherwise what's the respect," Xu Jie nodded slowly: "But this game of chess has been played so far" is more than a patient, and he can't be in a hurry", and muttered to himself: "He should know" Now is the last chance to accept it when he sees it, so he should come and talk to me. As if in order to convince himself, Xu Jie said in a low voice: "Two Shangshu and one secondary assistant are enough to give you a lot of face." He will definitely take advantage of the initiative now and come to talk to me, so as not to have too many dreams at night. ”

After listening to Xu Jie's words, Li Xiang sighed secretly, and said in his heart: , Yuan Weng is really old, and he always thinks about resting things and people don't know that people are desperate ......, he didn't persuade Xu Jie, but Xu Ge Lao Du didn't think about it and said: , between teachers and students, where can you make trouble? In the end, he must not return to the Tsunatsu. , knowing that Xu Jie's concept of teachers and students is deep-rooted, he doesn't want to talk more.

"What about Zhang Taiyue's side?" Li Xiang asked softly: "He has already been here three times" If you don't see him again, it won't look good. ”

"Well, let's wait and see." Xu Jie lowered his eyelids and said: "If you want him to have a ......long memory, the old man will still point to him in the future, and he can't raise a white-eyed wolf." ”

"Yes." Li Xiang replied softly.

Chessboard Hutong, Shen Mansion.

"Is this a lifting stone to hit one's own feet?" Shen Mingchen patted the interrogation record in his hand and asked, "If you knew this was the case, why did you leave Na Wanlun with a life." ”

"How can you give up food because of choking?" Wang Yin said lightly: "If there is no Wanlun, everything is gone, and the handsome will not be sacrificed in vain." ”

"yes." Shen Mo sat on a warm chair, his eyes slightly closed, and nodded slowly: "Since I left him a life, I am not afraid of him biting." ”

"How?" Shen Mingchen asked.

"This case can't be tried." Wang Yin said: "If you want to check down, you have to check the East Factory, which is beyond the ability of the outer court." After a pause, he said: "Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you check the East Factory, you can't find the adult." ”

"But they can guess," Shen Mingchen said: "Guess and guess, you will always guess the adult." ”

"They can only guess." Seeing Shen Mo frowning, Wang Yin said in a low voice: "I can't control what others think" But as long as there is no evidence, no one can talk about this. ”

"Yes", he sighed silently: "The most difficult thing in this world is to be both a ** and a memorial arch...... But it can't stop other people's gossip. The two were just about to be comforted, but when they saw him raise his hand, he opened his eyes and said: "Killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred yourself, this is a doomed thing since I made up my mind, but now is not the time to delve into the loss, I can only knock my teeth and swallow it in my stomach, no matter what, I must persevere!" ”

"What's next?" Seeing that the adults were so decisive, Shen Mingchen and Wang Yin both shook their heads.

"I want to let Li Chūn Fang carry all the black pots, and I can't even stand it myself." Shen Mo shook his head lightly and said, "I want to write to speak for him!" ”

"What?" Shen Mingchen's eyes widened and said, "Who do you want to speak for?" ”

"Li chūn fang!" Silently unfolded a blank handbook, the official document system of the dynasty: the inscription book for official affairs, and the transcript for sī affairs. Those who perform official work are called official folds under the leadership of the officials of the Yamén Hall, and those who submit them in their personal names are called handbooks. Each movement is customized in terms of writing style and paper specifications. Now what Shen Mo took out from the chōu drawer was a six-button white Cambodian fold about seven inches long, and at a glance he knew that it was a handbook: "Can't let them, bully honest people like this!" ”

"Ah, it's all at this time, and you still say that he is an honest man?" Shen Mingchen felt that he couldn't keep up with Shen Mo's train of thought.

Press the handbook with a paperweight, silently open the ink cartridge, move your wrist, lift the pen to dip it in ink, and say leisurely: "A person is always honest and honest everywhere" has been honest all his life, is it because someone slandered him once, he is not honest. He shook his head firmly and said, "Whether you believe it or not," I believe him anyway. Then he began to write the inscription neatly.

Seeing that the adults began to write, Shen Mingchen was full of questions, "I can only hold it first." He saw Wang Yin twisting his beard there and smiling, knowing that this old man must be an understanding person, he couldn't help but lament in his heart: "Why is it always like this...... fortunately, Shen Mo didn't let him wait long, and after a while, he wrote a short and straightforward note, and after drying the ink, the first one was shown to him.

Shen Mingchen took it, and after reading this thing in a few glances, he saw that the first paragraph opened with a clear purpose: "The minister heard that today's trial, that Wan Lun actually bit Hu Luàn, and involved the second assistant Li Chūn Fang, this is really a big joke in the world!" Whether the people of the world believe it or not, the minister is resolutely unbelieving."

Then the second paragraph describes the reason: the minister and Master Li have known each other for many years, and have worked together in the Hanlin Academy, the Ministry of Rites, and the Cabinet, and have absolute confidence in the character cultivation of this old boss...... His generosity and kindness and the demeanor of an elder are all seen only in the life of a minister. If such a person is even calculating, then I don't have a good person. , and then gave several examples" to show how obedient Li Chūn Fang is, and how he is a person who has no quarrel with the world.

In the third paragraph, Shen Mo pleaded for Li Chūn Fang clearly: In any case, the minister does not believe that he will harm Hu Zongxian, and the minister is willing to use his net worth to protect him, please don't believe the words of the Xiǎo people who make the * person painful and the enemy happy" and said that the minister interceded for him, not for the sake of sī love, but for the conscience ......of heaven and earth, and now that Hu Dashuai has gone, "Let Li Ge Lao also méng be wronged, then there will really be no good retribution for good people, and heaven and earth still have a conscience to speak of?" ”

In the end, Shen Mo also affirmed: The emperor should not misunderstand the minister's determination to seek justice for his righteous brother Hu Zongxian is still unswerving. The minister's plea for Li Ge Lao does not mean that he does not want justice. On the contrary, "because the minister believes that he is innocent, the minister asks the emperor to make up his mind to thoroughly investigate this case, no matter who is involved, to find out him, and to see what kind of great evil he is, plotting to kill heroes and loyal ministers like Hu Zongxian and Li Chūnfang"

One "one" one "one

In the book, Shen Mingchen swallowed hard, he looked at the recital, and then looked at Shen Mo's kind face, and after a long time, he said incredulously: "This ...... That's too funny, isn't it? "Although there is no physical evidence, Li Chūnfang is quite involved in the case, it is already an obvious thing, if Shen Mo's mind is not broken, he should be eager to send him to the eighteenth layer of hell, why is he swearing to play a package ticket for him now? Shen Mingchen felt that he was really outdated.

"Not at all." Wang Yin said lightly: "The art of war is cloudy:" Those who are good at fighting will cause people but not others. Winning a decisive victory in the temple is the same as fighting a war, that is, you can't be led by the enemy's nose, you have to jump out of his way and follow your own ideas. ”

"Not bad. A great man taught us that whatever the enemy opposes, "we will support: whatever the enemy opposes" we will oppose! He said silently: "They have a good chess move, but they forget one thing, that is, on this chessboard, it is not a lifeless chess piece, but a person with blood and ròu, seven emotions and six yù, and dignity." As long as it is human, when it is known that it has become an outcast, it will be angry and "will no longer be loyal." It's just that people are swordsmen, and I am fish, and I often can't resist. What we have to do is to give life to these outcasts. Once they find out that they still have a glimmer of life, "they will be desperate to jump out of the way of imposing themselves and break a way for themselves to live!" Wang Yin continued: "In this way, no matter how careful the arrangement is, it will be a big battle" Our chance to win has arrived! "I see, that's ......" Inspired by the two, Shen Mingchen finally followed their train of thought, and suddenly said: "It turns out that one Li Chūn Fang has not been put in your eyes, you want another one!" ”

"Clever!" Wang Yin squeezed his eyes and praised: "It's not that you want to let Li Chūn Fang go" sooner or later I want him to pull the list, but this time Xu Jie sent him to his mouth, we must not eat it, so this time, the adults will not only not fall into the ground, but also speak for him. "Gao, ......" The more Shen Mingchen thought about it, the more he felt Gao Zhao said: "No matter how you say it, Li Chūnfang is also the old boss of the adult, and the adult came out to speak for him, it is reasonable, and it can also reflect your affection and righteousness" Also, anyway, it is really a wonderful move! He didn't say the latter words explicitly, but Shen Mo and Wang Yin naturally understood what he meant...... Now let the hundred officials see, how much of a person he values affection and righteousness and understands the general situation, how can such a person harm his righteous brother Hu Zongxian?

At this juncture, with this extra point, public opinion may be very different.

"But" Shen Mingchen thought about it, and then worried: "What if Hai Rui finds ironclad evidence?" Then we're not going to be a joke. "I'll go to the palace myself. Silently and disappreciatively, he put away the notebook, got up and said, "Cheng joke is also a well-intentioned joke." In fact, he was confident, and they could not find any other evidence in Li Chūnfang's case "except for Na Wanlun's confession"! But there are some things he won't say now, it's not that Shen Mingchen has a problem, "It's just that he doesn't dare to fully believe anyone now."

Coming out of the former study, he silently returned to the back house to change into court clothes, and then entered the palace in a sedan chair and returned to the cabinet where he had been away for half a month.

As soon as I saw him come back," Zhang Juzheng first moved the corners of his mouth, then smiled sincerely, got up and greeted him, "Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I can be regarded as looking forward to you back." ”

"It's because the cabinet is short of manpower, right?" The silent smile was like the winter sun.

"Hehe", Zhang Juzheng said embarrassedly: "There is also a part of the reason, it has been really evil recently, this one is sick, that one has something, nòng comes and goes, and I am the only one left." As he spoke, he pointed to the corners of his mouth and said, "I'm so busy that my mouth is full of bubbles." ”

"Tired, tired." He patted him on the shoulder silently and kindly, "I'll come back as soon as possible to share the burden." ”

"Ah......", Zhang Juzheng said with a surprised face: "It's not officially back?" ”

"Alas, I have to wait until I finish my old brother's funeral," said silently: "His body is still lying in the Prison God Temple and can't go home." ”

"Alas, you should be busy with the funeral first......" Zhang Juzheng, even if he was thick and black, and talked about Hu Zongxian with Shen Mo, he would inevitably feel a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Then you are here?" ”

"I have a notebook to jiāo." Silence also restores the flat nasal passages.

"Let the people below bring this." , Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "The dignified old" still needs to run in person? ”

"It's stuffy at home." Shen smiled and said: "Come out to breathe, and come to comfort you." "I'm sorry for you." Zhang Juzheng said, "But it's really unfortunate" I just sent today's recital over, or you can put it here first, and I will bring it to you again tomorrow. ”

"That's it," Shen Shen said, "I'd better send it myself, and those who want to come to the celebrant can't lose my face." ”

"Of course not." Zhang Ju said slightly: "But it's really not necessary." ”

"It's time for a walk." Shen Mo bowed his hand to him, "Shi Shiran is out of the cabinet."

Zhang Juzheng sent him to Huiji Mén, looking at his back as he went to Huangji Mén, his expression gradually sank...... Although he couldn't guess the silent thoughts, he knew that "this line of work must be a night owl who doesn't come to the house for a good thing!"
