Chapter 865: Return to Beijing (I)

Da Nang, blue sea and blue sky and white sand beaches.

Having just finished attending the Thanh Hoa Conference and seeing off the silence of the princes, he hurried back to Da Nang, and came to the dock early that morning to wait for someone.

Half an hour later, a small flotilla appeared at sea level, and after being confirmed by the marine patrol vessels, one of them sailed to the pier, while the rest of the fleet waited offshore.

After a cup of tea, the ship docked, the sailor threw down the cable, set up the pedal, and a man wearing a scarlet three-grade official uniform got off the ship with a smile on his face, and Shen Mo also walked up quickly, and the hands of the two were tightly clasped together.

There are very few people in the Ming Dynasty who can work and greet Shen Mo in person, but this man is even one, because even if Shen Mo becomes the first assistant, this person is still his brother - he is Shen Jing, Shen Gaoling, the squire of the Ming Dynasty and the governor of Luzon. After not seeing him for many years, he has been baked black by the tropical sun, and he has lost a lot of weight. Over the years, he has been closed overseas, decisive, and like the king of a country, which has made Shen Jing's face change from funny to majestic, and he gives people a sense of oppression when he stands there.

Of course, in front of him, Shen Jing carefully restrained his aura, and pointed at the young man behind him with a smile on his face: "Is this Aji or Shiver?" ”

"Aggie." He smiled silently and said to the tall young man beside him: "Zhiqing, I've seen your uncle soon." ”

The young man looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, tall and white, and his appearance was seven points similar to Shen Mo, but his eyes were more agile and vibrant, not as dull as Shen Mo had when he was a child. He is Shen Mo's eldest son Shen Zhiqing, this time he and his younger brother followed his father to the south to practice, and later Yin Shiqing was taken to Nanyang Company by Zheng Ruozeng, and he has always stayed by Shen Mo's side.

Shen Zhiqing saluted Shen Jing very well, and Shen Jing smiled from ear to ear and said, "What a good boy, more handsome than your father." ”

Shen Mo scolded with a smile: "This kid next to you is my nephew Qingqing." ”

Shen Jing smiled and pulled a young man who was the same age as Shen Zhiqing over and said with a smile: "I expected you to bring your son over to show off, and I can't be unprepared."

"For the old disrespectful guy" Shen Mo laughed and scolded again, patted the handsome guy who obviously followed his mother and said: "Let your brother take you to pick two good guns, it can be regarded as a meeting gift from your uncle...... Don't forget to bring a few for your brothers too. ”

Shen Qingqing looked at his father, and Shen Jing waved his hand and said, "Your father has been cheated by him all his life, what is there to be polite?"

Silent crying and laughing.

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

Shen Mo pointed to the two deck chairs on the beach not far away and said, "Go and sit there." ”

Shen Jing nodded, wearing official boots, and walked over with him, a huge beach, except for the two of them, there was no one else.

The two sat down on the recliner, and Shen Jing took out a silver box from his arms, and when he opened it, there were dark brown cigarette rolls with thick fingers. Shen Mo's eyes lit up and said, "Cigars? ”

"You know that, too?" Shen Jing was not surprised by Shen Mo's erudition, and said with a smile: "This is the filial piety of the Spanish merchants, they say it is called 'Siaiga' or something, but it is not as good as the name you gave it." ”

Mo smiled and said: "Cigar's burning is as white as snow, Cigar's tobacco is like an eggplant, it's not bad to call it a cigar, right?" Fewer words"

"Learning is different, and you can say everything in a way." Shen Mo picked up the cigar folder, clamped a cigar, handed it to Shen Mo and said, "But whatever it's called, it's the right thing to do."

Shen Mo took one, sniffed the mellow smell of tobacco, and handed it back to him: "If you take tobacco for a long time, your lungs will be scorched, and many medicines will not work, and your symptoms will be death from spitting yellow water." It's better if you smoke less, too. ”

"That's what you're not good at." Shen Jing rolled his eyes and said, "Always be careful, don't do this, don't do that, I'll be sorry for you." ”

Although Shen Mo is an elder of the pavilion, Shen Jing is still his brother, he can say whatever he wants, so he can only smile bitterly: "The country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, I am such a personality, can I change it when I am old?" ”

"What is old? I don't think I'm old. Shen Jing took a hard puff of his cigar, rolled his eyes and said, "Two days ago, Aunt Twenty-Seven's wife just gave me the thirty-seventh fat boy, so men, you have to rely on women to stay young." ”

"Come on." Shen Mo ruthlessly debunked him and said, "If it weren't for Xu Hai's filial piety Baihua Immortal Wine, you would have been squeezed dry by those little wives-> long ago." ”

"It's not just the wine." Shen Jing's old face was not red and said, "Anyway, I don't think I'm old." ”

"My sons are taller than us, and they are not old." Leaning on the back of the chair silently, he looked at the wild goose returning to the north in the sky with some gloom: "Flowers bloom and sometimes fall, and life is easy to get old." Brother, we can't always feel that we have more good times, we have to think about bad times. ”

"That's not right...... Shen Jing exhaled a puff of smoke, stared at Shen Mo and said, "You have something on your mind, a very serious matter, say it, brother will help you solve it." ”

"Ben didn't intend to hide it from you." Shen Mo picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said in a low voice: "I received a holy decree the day before yesterday, and the emperor summoned me back to Beijing." ”

"......" Shen Jing was stunned for a while, patted his thigh, and said with a smile: "Zhong, Gao Gong's old horseman, finally can't stop it" Since Longqing left Beijing silently for three years, he has never set foot in the capital again, during which the emperor wanted to recall him several times, but was blocked by Gao Gong with 'the front-line war is tight, Jiangnan is inseparable'.

In the past few years, Gao Gong has excluded dissidents, held great power, and has become more and more arrogant, and the court has almost become his hall. So it's hard not to think that it was Gao Gong who was worried that Shen Mo would go back and divide his power, so he kept obstructing him and preventing him from returning to Beijing...... Because of similar things, it happened to Yang Minggong, and now the reputation of silence is even above Wang Yangming, and many people think that he has also been treated unfairly, including Shen Jing.

"You're wrong." Shen Mo slowly shook his head and said, "This matter can't be blamed on Gao Xinzheng's head. ”

"Who's that? Zhang Juzheng? Does he have what it takes? Shen Jing didn't believe it.

"This is actually a tacit understanding between the cabinet and the emperor." Shen Mo said lightly: "I'm too young, my official position is too high, and my credit is too great, how can I be rewarded when I go back?" How is it arranged? Gao Gong, the first assistant, was given to him by me, and he should give it to me when he goes back. In the final analysis, just thinking about letting the powerful ministers, who have led the army for many years and have a large number of protégés of the same year, return to the cabinet and regain control of the center, is enough to make them uneasy. Said with a self-deprecating smile: "But I am the emperor's master, and I also have some credit, my same year and protégés are all over the court, so they can't do it, so it's also a good way to exile me and let me be the firefighter of the Ming Dynasty......"

"Then why, are you being summoned back to Beijing now?" Shen Jingdao.

"There is news in the capital," Shen Mo lowered his eyelids, although there was no one around, he still said softly: "The saint is hesitant......

"Ah, really......" Shen Jing was shocked, this kind of thing, Shen Mo couldn't lie to him.

"Well......" Shen Mo nodded and said in a low voice: "It is said that it has not been good since the New Year, the palace has been tightly blocking the news, and Li Shizhen has been summoned from Qizhou to the capital. ”

"Li Shizhen ......" Shen Jing said: "Didn't the first emperor forbid him to set foot in the capital again?" ”。 He himself explained: "It can be seen how seriously the emperor is so sick that he even ignores the ban of the first emperor......" He looked up at Shen Mo and said in a low voice: "Then this juncture summoned you to the capital, does it mean that they are going to attack you?" ”

"Emperor Longqing attaches great importance to love and righteousness, which can be described as a rare benevolent monarch, such an emperor allows the lord to be weak and the minister strong. At that time, I thought that the emperor was the same age as me, the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, and there were still more than 20 years to come," Shen Mo did not answer directly, and said with a heavy face: "That's why I made up my mind to do a few great things for the Ming Dynasty and Huaxia, and when the time comes, I will either withdraw and retreat, or make another plan, and I can always ......arrange it calmly" unconsciously, he frowned and said: "Who would have thought that it has only been six years of Longqing, and the holy bow can not be hesitated?" It caught me off guard."

"At this point, we can only look forward." Shen Jing had never seen Shen Mo so worried, and comforted him softly: "Besides, although you are powerful, you are careful everywhere, and you will never have anything to do with the word 'anti', and you have just made a great contribution, and your reputation surpasses that of Shaobao and Xinjian Bo." Now is the time when the world is peaceful and the legal system is strict, at most they can learn from Zhao Kuangyin, and release the military power with a glass of wine...... If you want to learn from the Taizu of this dynasty, forgive them for not having the guts."

"......" Shen Jing glanced at Shen Jing with silent approval, Shibei was impressed for three days, this cousin has indeed made great progress. This made Shen Mo feel much more relieved, spit out a breath of turbidity, and raised his eyebrows: "You are right, the Mongols in the north have just stopped, and the rebellion in the south has been settled, and the world of the Ming Dynasty still depends on me, and they dare not mess around."

"Yes" Shen Jing excitedly said: "This is my high-spirited good brother"

"But I'm not Guo Ziyi after all, and now it's not the troubled ......times of the Tang Dynasty," Shen Mo said with a wry smile: "They don't dare to cut the mess quickly, they can always boil frogs in warm water." As he spoke, he took a sip of the teacup, and his expression had regained his calmness: "Now that the saint is hesitant, he must consider the affairs of the temple, and he can't take care of the feelings of the monarch, ministers, teachers and students." Think about it, what will they do to me? ”

"As you said, at the moment, I have no traces, and I have just made a great achievement, and all the dangers are imaginary from them. But they can't kill me on this 'trumped-up' charge, can they? Fewer words" smiled silently and sarcastically, and only in front of his brothers, he would say unabashedly: "The cabinet princes are all prudent ministers of science, and they will not learn from Qin Hui." ”

"So, not only can't they force me, but they should also stabilize me. The best thing to do is to be gracious. It's not a boast, my credit, it's enough to be a duke. Shen Mo seemed to be calculating others, and said eloquently: "Okay, even if the Duke of the Ming Dynasty is expensive and can't be easily granted, there is no objection to giving me a marquis, right?" Saying that, he raised three fingers and said: "Then you can take a few steps like this, considering the emperor's body, the steps must be slightly bigger......"

"The first step, now that the war has stopped, my power to control the soldiers and horses of the nine provinces must be withdrawn first. It's right, and I can't say anything about it. The more Shen Mo spoke, the more cold and hard he said: "The second step is to immediately recall me to Beijing to report on my work." If I can't shirk it, it will be a disobedience to the order, and the court will have a premise for dealing with me...... After all, I am not the king of the southwest, and now there is no premise for rebellion in this world, and they also know that it is impossible for me to rebel, what they care about is that my authority is too great, and it will make the sun shine. ”

"What I just said is that I don't obey the edict, of course this is unlikely, eighty percent of me still have to be called back, if I return, it will be another kind of disposal. At that time, I was in the capital, and there were no soldiers or generals around me, but I was just a scholar, all in the hands of the imperial court, how to deal with me, not all by their thoughts? But I thought that even then, I would not be punished, but could only be comforted. I just said that I will be a marquis, and then give me a princess, it is enough to block the mouths of the world, right? Shaozi is Ben Hou, the living master, with such a noble identity, it is condescension for me to do anything, so I can only be offered there, at most, I am only in charge of important military affairs...... But how can there be so many important things in this world? So I became an idol, like a few grandfathers of the country, who were hung there forever......"

Over the years, Shen Mo has rarely made such long speeches, which shows that the block in his heart has reached the point of not vomiting and unhappy: "This is a conspiracy, above board, without losing the demeanor of the ministers, and can also be the friendship of the monarch and the minister, a hundred years later, it will be praised by historians, and even repeatedly quoted by the strategists to explain how to eliminate the threat of the ministers in an understatement."

"Dissipate the gas, dissipate the gas...... Shen Jingjing was dumbfounded, put down the cigar in his hand, took a coconut from the table and said: "Maybe the emperor just misses you and wants to see you." ”

"No, you don't know those people, they don't do that, that's what they call stupid." Shen Mo shook his head and said: "Don't believe it, Yang Bo will come back soon, and those grandfathers will also go out of the mountain to take charge of the army." ”

"Either way, I trust your judgment." Shen Jing handed him the coconut with the straw in his hand and said: "If it really doesn't work, let them go, anyway, you also said, they can't do anything to you, it's good to be an idle lord, a good life can't just work for the country, you have to enjoy life......

partition
