One one. In order to make this unfortunate year have a good ending and a good omen for the coming year, Jiajing has invested a lot of money, and he asked the six cabinet departments to send key officials, under the leadership of Xu Jie, to the city gate to greet the triumphant team. There are hundreds of people below the Xu Steps, Shangshu, Shilang, and Du Yushi are almost a lot, all of them are standing at the city gate, and there are many Yan Party members, of course, there will be no Yan family father and son and those core backbones.

Shen Mo rode on the horse mountain, saw it clearly, got off the horse from afar, came to the group of officials, first gave Xu Jie, and then bowed to the hundred officials, and said in a loud voice: "Come here, you are silent." ”

Xu Jie smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. The faces of the officials behind him looked much better, although they were ordered to come to greet them. But his heart couldn't help but be sour, just like Shen Lian said, he was too young, too outstanding, and now he has made such great achievements, how can he not make people envious, jealous and hateful? If he is silent and a little self-satisfied, he will definitely attract the jealousy of many villains, and he will say that he is proud and arrogant, and he will always be good in the future, if he is in trouble, he will inevitably be thrown into the well

But the calmness and humility shown by Shen Mo today made everyone secretly broken, and they felt that if they were to change places, they would have been fluttering lightly a long time ago, but they couldn't do his calmness. I couldn't help but secretly say in my heart: "It seems that he can do these things, and it really doesn't just rely on luck..."

At this time, Xu Jie said to Shen Mo: "Please Lord Shen get on the horse and accept the greetings of the hundred officials." ”

"Kill me!" Shen Mo insisted on refusing, and several Shangshu smiled and persuaded him: "This is a protest." He had no choice but to get back on his horse.

"Congratulations to your Excellency!" Everyone saluted and shouted together, which attracted the people to applaud loudly, and the slaps were smashed, and the celebratory atmosphere reached its peak.

During the whole salute, Shen Mo kept turning sideways, expressing his shame, and then when everyone came together, he quickly dismounted and returned the salute. Don't dare to slack off. So everyone was happy, and no one thought he had taken advantage of it or anything.

Looking at the competitive and sensible students, Xu Jie's old face was unreserved, as if every beard revealed joy, and he kept bowing his head slightly: "Please Lord Shen get on the horse, and the official will enter the city with the reins for you." This is the rule of the Ming Dynasty, whenever the army triumphs, the important ministers will hold the reins for the generals to show courtesy.

Shen Mo insisted on not accepting this time, and finally the two sides compromised, Xu Jie led the horse for him, he followed behind, and entered the city step by step.

The latter kind of officials, except for the evil jade who held the flag, had to put away the arrogance that had been secretly bred, and saw that there were also adults who came to lead the horses for themselves, and they all got off their horses and followed into the city.

The heads and brains have all entered the city, but Zhuo Chengmen seems to be even more lively outside. Because of the thousands of soldiers escorting prisoner carts, heads and booty, they drove over.

In this long procession, the most conspicuous are the two prisoners in their cloaks on two prisoner carts, the front one has a "crime nameplate", on which is written "Yang Shun who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country", and the latter one reads "Co-defendant Lu Kai." The big guy looked at it, oh, it turned out to be this kind of traitor, so that our Ming Dynasty can't beat the Mongols! As a result, these two people suddenly became a punching bag for the common people to vent their grievances, and scolding, rotten eggs, and stinky soles flew towards them like raindrops.

Lu Kai lowered his head and closed his eyes tightly, enduring all kinds of foreign objects flying into his face, smashing his face full of pain, but this was not as distressing as his heart" At this moment, his mind is full of his own hard journey of more than 40 years. He is still a smart person, but the road to the imperial examination is very bumpy, and he has studied hard for 30 years and failed several times. When he was forty years old, he won the top three and the first rank, and he had no chance with Hanlin Qinggui, so he could only enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate and became a poor and hated imperial history.

But at that time, he was still holding back an upward momentum, because he heard that although Yushi had no oil and water and offended people, he had the most chance of sudden prosperity, as long as he was right, he could turn a sparrow into a phoenix, and suddenly replace Xie Xiu on his chest with a lark.

So he kept going to the capital, participating in this today and impeaching that tomorrow, hoping for which speculation would succeed and soar to the sky.

As a result, before he could fly, he was assigned to Xuanda as a patrol by Du Yushi Hu Hair Transplant.

After leaving the capital for a long time, he figured out that his behavior had annoyed Yan Dang, and he sent himself to Xuanfu to give himself a warning. The clever Lu Kai was silent, lest he would make others unhappy again, and he wouldn't even be able to keep his black gauze hat. But he was not discouraged, but continued to ponder, how can he become a big official? In the end, he concluded from the straw bale Yang Shun that if you want to ascend, you only need to find a backer and climb the high branches.

So, when Yang Shun gave him seven thousand taels of silver and asked him to help him lie, although he also knew that he was committing a crime, he felt that the elders of the small pavilion would keep Yang Shun and he would be fine, so he took Yang Shun's olive branch and successfully boarded the big ship of Yan Dang.

However, before he had time to set sail, there were stormy waves coming, and then he found out that the old Xiaoge that seemed to be closed and brilliant "was a broken ship that could not withstand the wind and rain, and he and Yang Shun were thrown into the sea at once, and became a victim of the preservation of the strict party."

Now that the glory and wealth have come to naught, and he has been ruined and discredited, and he has been stinking for thousands of years, he hates Yang Shun who seduced him into the water, but he never realizes that since he chooses to speculate, he must take the risk of failure,"

And Yang Shun was the opposite of him, even if he was smashed all over his head, he opened his eyes wide, looked in the direction of Chang'an Street, and still prayed that his old godfather could save his life. In his opinion, the godfather will not shrug his little pavilion will not care, and when it comes to dying.

At this moment, "outside the bedroom in the Yan Mansion, there are dozens of people gathered in the old lady's grandson, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, grandson, etc., they are sitting or standing, their faces are either anxious or sad, but they are all looking at the curtain blocking the inner room, wanting to know the situation inside.

The old housekeeper Yan Nian even prepared a shroud and began to quietly prepare for the future.

Only Mrs. Ouyang's most beloved only son, the famous Yan Shifan, was still pale, and his eyes were looking at the fireworks that were constantly unfolding in the sky. Listen to the crackling... The habitual muscle factory, cheers one after another, his face was blue and blue, and his cheeks were trembling slightly.

At this moment, his heart was filled with resentment, anger, sorrow, and boundless fear, and he did not even dare to turn back, nor did he want to listen to those weepings, because his most fearful day was finally coming. He clenched his fists tightly, surrounded by negative emotions, and that anger made everyone stay far away, not daring to take half a step.

But all this has nothing to do with Yan Song. In the inner room separated by a curtain, Yan Ge Lao, who has been in the wind for decades, is also like all the old people in the world who are about to be widowed, full of grief and grief, a pair of old hands like dead bark, tightly grasping the two equally thin hands of his wife, old tears, trembling all over, obviously unable to help himself.

At this time, the dying old lady opened her eyes slightly, and seemed to have some life again, but it was not because of her son's resistance, but because of her attachment to her wife, which made her reluctant to leave this. The world is back in the light of day.

"Master, don't cry, only the old lady made a muffled voice in her throat, which only Yan Song, who accompanied her day and night, could understand, and saw Mrs. Ouyang whispering to him with a smile: "It is a happy event for people to go after eighty, and it is happy to be happy." ”

"But," Yan Song shook his head bitterly, "You are not yet eighty, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and there is still one day." "Yan Mansion is the thirtieth birthday of the lunar month, Yan Song tried all means to let her go after this birthday, but today it is already useless, and the medicine stone is useless.

"Don't be so greedy" Mrs. Ouyang glanced at the set of phoenix crowns hanging on the opposite wall, with cranes and white jade, which was a first-class costume, and said with a proud smile: "How many women in the world can recommend Mrs. Yipin?" Saying that, he looked at his husband and said, "How many people can end up with their husbands, Prime Minister Bai?" ”

Yan Song burst into tears, grinned and said: "This is what you deserve, you were a beautiful lady back then, but you didn't dislike me, a poor scholar, and loved me wholeheartedly. ”

"It's not you who owe me, it's I owe you." Mrs. Ouyang said with an apologetic smile on her face: "You know that I am jealous, and I am afraid that I will be wronged, so I have not taken a concubine in my life. ”

"Hehe" Yan Song smiled and said: "Because you are so good, okay, I don't need other women, besides, you also gave birth to a son for me, what else am I not satisfied with?" ”

Hearing Yan Song talk about her son, Mrs. Ouyang's face showed a deep sense of worry: "What I'm most worried about is that Qing'er will cause you some trouble and make your evening unsafe" Qing'er is Yan Shifan's nickname.

Speaking of that rebel, Yan Shifan couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Who knows, alas, Bacheng suddenly realized that his wife was about to die, and he couldn't let her go with worry, so he forced a smile and said: "No, I have served Your Majesty for decades, and I have no merit and hard work, as long as Yan Shifan doesn't make too much trouble, the emperor will look at my face and let him go." ”

"Really?" Mrs. Ouyang was pleasantly surprised: "Will you all be okay?" ”

"Yes." Yan Song held her hand tightly and nodded, "We'll all be fine." ”

"That's great." Mrs. Ouyang glanced at her husband deeply and said softly, "You have always been so good to me.

She no longer had the strength to speak, but she refused to give her breath, but just lay there quietly, looking at her husband with blank eyes.

Yan Song also looked at his wife deeply, he knew that he had lost a glance, and if he could look at her more, it would be earning... The palace set up a banquet to entertain the soldiers who entered Beijing to be rewarded, and finally the ministers retired, leaving only one silent and letting him talk to him.

Seeing that there was no one else in the Golden Palace, Shen Mo didn't even dare to breathe, in his experience, this moody Emperor Jiajing is used to pouring cold water on your head, and when you are uncomfortable, it will make it worse, so he heard Jiajing snort and said: "You are so bold!" What Lian Fen clearly said is that the four roads are sent to investigate the case, you are good, one person is round, and everyone is squeezed back, do you seem to be very powerful? ”

"Can you have something fresh? Shen Mo hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "The emperor is angry...... Rong Chen defended a few words. ”

"Speak!" Jiajing waved his wide stomach and said.

Lord Pian and Lord Zhou returned to Beijing ahead of schedule, not because of the case itself, but because they were afraid of the Mongols and did not dare to take responsibility. He said silently: "Why don't they leave early or late, but as soon as the news of the shoes came in, they fled back in a hurry?" It was clearly that he was afraid that if the war was unfavorable, he would bear the sin of detaining the governor with me, so he withdrew in advance and came back to sue me first, so as to clear them up. ”

"Hmph" Jiajing snorted coldly: "But people said that you arrested people first, and forced the civil and military forces in the city to make confessions, so that they couldn't check if they wanted to, this is not fake, right?" ”

"The emperor has been wronged!" Shen Mo said with a face full of grievances: "Everyone is a messenger, they are still two waiters, both of them are one level higher than me, and they can suppress me everywhere." The reason why they can't handle it is only because the evidence in this case is conclusive and cannot be exculplified, and they can't overturn the case if they want to! As he spoke, he handed a letter with both hands and said: "This is a letter written by Yang Shun to the Mongols, with his signature and private seal on it, please take a look at the emperor." ”

Jiajing was also a little confused, he didn't expect that this letter was actually seized by Shen Mo later, and it was only regarded as evidence seized earlier, and after reading it, he said angrily: "Yang Shun deserves a thousand cuts!" Zhou Xi and Tu Li were also a pair of fools, and they wanted to cover up this kind of person, they were simply impatient! ”

Can you write it out of the congenital eight thousand?"
