Chapter 753: Yuzhi Altar (II)

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

Shen Mo was taught a good lesson by Hai Rui, but 'the mouse pulls the wooden shovel, and the big head is behind', the good show is still to come. Hai Gangfeng is not a person who talks a lot, and today he talked so much with Shen Mo, one is to spit out the blocks in his chest, but he is even more purposeful. He saw Shen Mo's face flushed, but he still added wood to the fire and said, "What are our Ming courtiers doing...... I heard that the emperor is going to set up a Jiao sacrifice to the heavens, and ordered the ministers to write a congratulatory table of green words, is this really the case? ”

"It is true." Shen Mo nodded.

"Both scholars have written, right?" Hai Rui said sarcastically: "The nine secretaries of the ministry also wrote, right?" Needless to say, the Hanlin ministers are searching their intestines and scraping their stomachs, right? ”

"Maybe," Shen Mo said with a dry smile, "There's no way to do it, just deal with it." ”

"It's only adults who think so," Hai Rui said with a cold smile: "Nine out of nine court officials regard this green word as more important than a moral article." What's the use of that kind of thing for ghosts and gods? It's nothing more than a pile of rhetoric and stupid words, just because the emperor likes it, if you write well, you will be appreciated by the emperor, and you will suddenly become rich and rich, and even enter the cabinet! Saying that, he smacked and said: "The word 'Qingzi Prime Minister', but there is no other in the world, this is the originality of my Jiajing Dynasty, which makes the lower officials hate it!" ”

"It's just a way to get promoted." Shen Mo smiled and said, "I don't necessarily take that green word seriously in my heart." "He felt the need to cool down the 'angry old man', or he would get into big trouble.

"That's even more hateful!" Hai Rui was even more angry and said: "I know that this is wrong, but I don't think about admonishment, I only know how to cater to it, no wonder people compare the minister of the Ming Dynasty to a blind medicinal herb!" ”

"What medicine?" Shen Mo asked.

"Licorice." Hai Rui said lightly.

"How?" Shen Mo was pretending to be confused, because although Hai Rui kept saying that he was excluded, in his ears, every slap was on his face, which was called flesh......

"Speech that is pleasant makes a man rejoice, and it is as good as the licorice; Advice against the ear is unpleasant, and it is also like the bitter taste of Coptis chinensis. Hai Rui said eloquently: "The emperor is also a human being, and if he is a human being, he likes licorice, does not like Coptis chinensis, likes gossip, and does not like loyalty." The anger in his eyes was like substance: "But good medicine is good for disease, and good words are good for deeds!" Today's saints are bent on cultivating the mysteries and ignoring the government, resulting in internal disasters and external insults, and the people are unbearable; When you are close to the emperor's side, you have the responsibility of assisting the king and supporting the society, and you should have spoken out to admonish the monarch and ask for the people's life! How can you blindly obey, be full of hometown wishes, sing praises with all your strength, but seek personal glory? ”

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

Shen nodded silently, he was completely defeated by Hai Rui, and he was a little bit killed, and he was scolded enough tonight. However, although he had a fever on his face, he was applauding Hai Rui in his heart, because these words hit the nail on the head, and every sentence was what he wanted to say but didn't dare to say.

"My lord, do you think Hai Rui is right?" Hai Rui asked.

"Brother Gangfeng is wonderful, it is really better to listen to your words, than to read for ten years......" nodded silently and said: "But this is ......"

"How's that?" Hai Rui looked at him and said.

"Let's just talk about it, our own brothers." Shen Mo said softly: "Don't take it out and say it." ”

Hai Rui was depressed when he heard it, and said in his heart that my feelings were all in vain, why are you still unwilling to come forward? But he had deep expectations for silence, and said patiently: "My lord, the Ming Dynasty is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and it is almost out of the country, we are officials, if we don't advise the monarch and work hard, how can we be worthy of the people of the world, the ancestors and the ancestors?!" ”

"You're right." Shen Mo nodded slowly and said: "But the emperor has been obsessed with the fairy road since he was a child, and he is almost a jiazi so far, he has long been deep-rooted and terminally ill, if he can really listen to the persuasion, he will not come to this point today?" He sighed and said, "Alas! At this point, I am afraid that there is no more exhortation that can make the emperor understand. ”

"My lord is right, the emperor is so sick that he is no longer bitter, and clever advice can work." Hai Rui nodded in agreement, but he did not appoint like Shen Mo, but said proudly: "There is a way that 'in troubled times, use heavy canons, and sink into fierce medicine', the emperor's disease must be taken fiercely." ”

"What kind of medicine?" Silent as sitting on pins and needles, he felt that Hai Rui was going to play with fire.

"The emperor has eaten licorice for decades, and he has long been coaxed by sweet words to distinguish between right and wrong." Hai Rui said in a deep voice: "I can only let him change to eat Coptis chinensis, and he will suffer for a while, so that he can repent and come back to life!" As he spoke, he got up and bowed deeply to Shen Mo and said: "Please take advantage of the matter of Yuzhi Altar tomorrow to explain right and wrong to the emperor, and tell the current situation of the Ming Dynasty without reservation, so that the emperor knows that the country has reached the most dangerous time, if you continue to indulge in magic, ignore the government, get close to the villain, and alienate loyal ministers, then the period of the Ming Dynasty's demise is not far away!" ”

"You fierce medicine...... It's too fierce. Shen Mo's face turned pale when he heard this, and he shook his head vigorously and said: Do you know that illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread? The body that has been sick for a long time, the body is lacking and the qi is damaged, and it is necessary to use neutralizing medicine to treat it slowly to achieve results......" said and rubbed his face vigorously, and said slowly: "I can't wait, I can't wait......"

"How can you not be in a hurry?" Hai Rui said anxiously: "You can wait, the people of the world can't wait!" ”

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

"If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, Brother Gangfeng." Shen Mo tilted his face to the side, not daring to look at Hai Rui's urgent eyes and said, "According to your method, the consequences are really unpredictable...... Our life and death are trivial matters, if the villain takes the opportunity to stir up trouble and harm the loyal and good, won't it make the relatives painful and the enemies happy? He almost begged as he spoke: "Don't be impulsive, Brother Gangfeng." ”

"Where do I have the impulse?" Hai Rui calmed down suddenly, and his tone became softened: "Do you still remember that back then, when the adults went to Huai'an to see me, I and the adults bitterly talked about the disadvantages of the world?" ”

Shen Mo nodded and said: "At that time, you said that the ills of the world are uneven, and the biggest inequality is in the vassal king. ”

"I wanted to read a book at that time, saying that this is a great injustice in the world." Hai Rui said in a low voice: "But then Lin Yushi took the lead, and it coincided with my content, I didn't want to be said to be following the trend of speculation, so I pressed it for the time being." After a pause, he said: "But the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, no matter how bad the vassal king was, in fact, he had no power, and the reason why they could continue to encroach on the people's land and refuse to pay taxes was because of the connivance and protection of the saints today." He said with deep emotion: "When I think about it like this, the evils of the world suddenly become clear." For example, if the Fangshi are in turmoil, if there is no emperor's favor, why do they wear python robes and jade belts to show off their might? ”

"Speaking of national politics, it is said that the world of the Ming Dynasty was ruined by the Yan family father and son, and the Yan Song father and son are certainly guilty. But if it weren't for the emperor living in the forbidden garden, not seeing foreign ministers for 20 years, and ignoring the government, how could my Ming authority be controlled by their father and son? Saying that, his whole body trembled, and he said with a sad face: "It is nonsense to say that the emperor was deceived, it is not twenty days, not twenty months, but twenty years, no matter how great the Yan family's father and son are, it is impossible to deceive the emperor for twenty years." ”

"The only explanation is that the emperor is pretending to be confused! No matter what its purpose is, it is irresponsible to the people and the ancestral society! Hai Rui said bitterly: "A few years ago, the government was disordered, and everyone was strict about it. Now that Yan Song is dead, why is the government still sluggish, and the people are still suffering? Because the root problem is still there, as long as the emperor does not wake up, there will be no hope for the Ming Dynasty!! I only listened to him say word by word: "You don't dare to admonish, I'll come!" Although I am a small Langzhong, I am soft-spoken, but I fight hard to sprinkle the blood on my neck, and I want to let the emperor be touched, so that I can set an example for the princes! ”

looked at Hai Rui silently, and suddenly remembered the little boy in Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, the little boy who broke the emperor's new clothes, in fact, Hai Rui said, which of the Manchu Dynasty ministers does not know, which one does not know? But why didn't anyone say it? What are everyone, including yourself, afraid of? I am afraid of the supreme imperial power, the imperial power that can determine life and death with a word, and the imperial power that has no constraints!

Even if he comes from the next generation, but after living in the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years, he has been deeply imprinted with the fear of imperial power in his heart, even if he is dissatisfied, but when he sees the emperor, he can't help but say soft words against his will, how dare he touch the dragon's face and criticize the dragon's scales?

Thinking about it, thinking about it, Shen Mo's resistance to what Hai Rui said gradually disappeared...... In fact, from the beginning, there is a reason why Shen Mo is so out of shape and so afraid. Because although he didn't know much about the history of the Ming Dynasty in his previous life, he knew only a handful of characters. But among them is Hai Rui, and he knows that the incident that made Hai Rui famous in history is to scold the emperor!

What's even more sad is that he doesn't know what Hai Jui's final ending is, the history books don't say it, and he doesn't care about it, he just treats it as a story. But now that things are happening around him, the story has become an accident, and according to Shen Mo's understanding of the emperor, this Hai Rui is estimated to be a bad death...... This is also in line with the fate of heroes, isn't it all about sacrificing life for righteousness before they can be immortal?

As Hai Rui's old superior, Shen Mo didn't want to see him go that far, let alone be implicated by him. So after seeing Hai Rui today, he would rather ignore his family than follow Hai Rui to his house, really hoping to tell Hai Rui about the banal way of 'neutralization', hoping that this guy can control his mouth and not cause trouble from his mouth and affect relatives and friends.

But after Hai Rui taught him a lesson, Shen Mo found that he had deviated from his original goal, and he became more and more excited by him. He couldn't help but think of his life's ambition, why did he think about it now, but he felt more and more unattainable?

It's because of a lack of courage......

Although he has done a lot of things, Shen Mo knows that if he doesn't add a halter to the wanton imperial power, then everything he does is just a castle on the sand, and he can't escape the fate of people and politics. But the fear in my heart makes me want to take a step in that direction, but I hesitate every time and can't help but retreat.

Now there is obviously an opportunity to take a step closer to the big goal of Kao, but the cost may also be extremely heavy, to do it or not to do it, is it really worth it? These nascent questions swirled in his mind, leaving Shen Mo extremely entangled.

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

The whole meal was silently eaten, and his favorite vegetable cake didn't move a single chopstick, and after using it hastily, he said that there was still something to do, so he hurriedly went home.

Mrs. Hai's mother and son sent Lord Shen to the entrance of the alley, looked at the sedan chair in the distance, and then shook her head and returned to her home. After closing the door, Mrs. Hai let her son follow her into the east wing, and then straightened his face and sat on the edge of his father's tablet, but let Hai Rui kneel in the hall.

Although Hai Rui listened to his mother's words very much, after all, he was in his forties and was an official of the imperial court, so he couldn't help but say on his face: "Mother, is there something wrong?" ”

"Your wings are stiff," Mrs. Hai said with a cane, "Don't you even listen to your mother's words?" ”

"The child doesn't dare." Hai Rui quickly knelt on the ground and said, "If the child has done something wrong, please punish the mother." ”

"I ask you." Mrs. Hai leaned on crutches and leaned forward and said, "What did you and Lord Shen say just now?" ”

"Didn't say anything...... "Ha Rui sneered, "small talk." ”

"Small talk?" Mrs. Hai sneered: "I can talk to the pride of the sky to the soul, my son is really a generation of iron mouth!" ”

"Maybe the adults have something on their minds," Hai Rui laughed, "Maybe it's not very comfortable......

"Fart!" Mrs. Hai rudely interrupted him and said, "Your voice is so loud, I can hear it clearly in the kitchen," and said with a sneer: "Why, dare not admit it?" ”

"Now that my mother knows, what else do you ask?" Hai Rui said with an embarrassed face: "Yes, I just expressed some opinions on state affairs, and Lord Shen is not an outsider, so he won't cause any trouble." ”

"Still not telling the truth?!" Mrs. Hai was completely enraged, trembling and stretched out her hand to point at her son and said, "Palm mouth!" ”

Hai Rui immediately slapped himself, seeing that his mother didn't shout to stop, he had to continue to shoot left and right, his temper was also big, people were getting lighter and lighter, but he was getting heavier and heavier, and after a while, even the nosebleed flowed down.

Seeing this, Mrs. Hai cried and scratched her lungs while holding the tablet of Father Hai and said: "Master, look at this rebel, but he is going to hurt our hearts, why can't he make people worry?" ”

Seeing that his mother was grief-stricken, Hai Rui quickly stopped his hand, stepped forward on his knees, hugged his mother's legs, and said with tears in his eyes: "Mother, what did the child do wrong to make you so sad?" ”

"My Hai family has been passed down for three generations, but now you are going to be extinct, are you worthy of your father?" Mrs. Hai pulled her son's hair while crying and said: "I am a widow alone, a handful of and urine pull you up, and you haven't enjoyed two days of happiness, but you want to leave me to die, are you worthy of me?" ”

Hai Rui was speechless, and could only cry silently.

Mrs. Hai thought that she had moved her son, so she wiped her tears, took a deep breath and said: "Son, listen to my mother, if you can really make Long Live Ye repent, then even if you take our family, it is worth it." But even the old scholar of the country doesn't dare to talk about this matter, you are a little five-grade official, desperately trying to make a fart sound, how can you listen to it? Even if you are willing to listen, you can't change it...... Don't forget that dogs can't change what they eat...... Son. ”

Hearing that his mother also persuaded him, Hai Rui was very sad and said with tears: "Mother, you have taught your children to read poetry and books hard since childhood, and to imitate the sages. Isn't it just that the child wants to be worthy of the country and the people? Nowadays, the government is in trouble, and the people's livelihood is dying, but it is ridiculous that those big officials, for the sake of Juelu's wealth, only know that Mingzhe protects his life, and no one dares to speak out and advise! When I said those words to Lord Shen, I really expected him to be able to admonish the king and do the first thing in the world. He sighed and said, "Who knew that he seemed to be different, but in fact he was the same, so he pushed left and right, and didn't dare to agree." In this way, it is not enough to count on these people, and the children can only stand up, otherwise the king will never repent, and there will never be a day for the world to be relieved. ”

Listening to her son's words, Mrs. Hai's face softened slightly: "But my mother didn't ask you to take your life?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to caress his son's thin but resolute face and said: "Son, you are the only root of our Hai family, me and your daughter-in-law, and the only one of your unborn children. Even if you're dead, you can't explain it to your father......"

Hai Rui was speechless, he could be justified in front of silence, but he was only full of apologies for his family.

Seeing that the persuasion had an effect, Mrs. Hai nodded and said: "I heard that Mr. Storyteller said that everything is a fortune, Yao Shun descends from the sky, and the life of the four seas is a blessing from heaven; The king has no way, and the suffering of the common people is also a doom, which cannot be changed by mortals! Saying that, he sighed and said: "It's not for my mother to be greedy for life and death, but the sage Yun: 'If there is a way, the state will be a master, and if there is no way, it will be hidden.'" 'My son was not an official, but now he has also been a prefect, has done things, and has lived up to what he has learned in his life. Since the court is dim, it is better to hang up the crown and leave...... There are still a few acres of thin fields in Qiongzhou's hometown, it is enough to feed our few people, and we can enjoy a family happiness, isn't it better to suffer from this?! ”

After listening to his mother's words, Hai Rui finally nodded silently and said, "Mother, the child knows, I won't act hastily......"

Seeing that her words were not in vain, Mrs. Hai nodded with satisfaction, gently touched her son's slightly swollen cheeks, and complained: "You child, it's not light or heavy, that's your own face......"

Hai Rui nodded and smiled: "The child knows, it's not someone else's ass......" finally made the old lady laugh too, the mother and son laughed together, and everything that happened just now seemed to disappear with this laughter.

Partition -
