After spending the night at Hai Rui's, Shen Mo set off for the south. He left on this trip; nbsp; On the emperor's side, firstly, because he didn't want to learn from Sister Yuan, he made horse articles and praised the emperor's stinky feet all day long; Second, Jiangnan is where his foundation and hard work are gathered, and almost all his strength and dreams. It's all from here.

This time I finally got the opportunity to walk around this hot land and see the seeds I planted. Whether it takes root and sprouts and spreads out is an extremely important and very happy thing.

The only unpleasant thing is that because of the emperor's southern tour, the river was under martial law by the sailors, resulting in a large number of ships stranded at the dock. Finally, I was able to walk and live and walk slowly, and it took three days to arrive at the city of Yangzhou.

Shen Mo didn't want to enter the city and go south directly, but as soon as he inquired, the emperor's holy car left yesterday, and he couldn't help but secretly wonder, "You must know that the life dream of the people of the Ming Dynasty is to be born in Yangzhou and die in Beidi". Definitely a paradise to enjoy. The emperor walked while playing, as long as he arrived at a slightly famous place, he would stop for three or five days, and have a good time playing, how did he get to this famous Yangzhou City. After only one day, why don't you leave?

With this question in mind, the boatman was silent. After a night in Yangzhou City, the boatmen docked at the pier. Seeing that it was almost dusk at this time, Sanchi asked, "My lord, let's go find a post station to stay?"

If you don't go, you shook her head and said: "If the brigade passes through the network, the post station will inevitably be unbearable, and we won't go if we don't add to the chaos." He said with a smile: "Before I came to see the east wharf, there are a lot of Wang boats returning, you might as well go and buy some fresh fish, shrimp, fruits and vegetables, and fire on the boat, wouldn't it be comfortable?"

Everyone agreed, so they went their separate ways to buy, burn the fire and cook, and never worry about it silently. He got off the boat and paced around the docks, trying to find a few officials and ask why he had left in a hurry.

It was nearly dusk, and the river was sparkling. The docks are filled with passenger boats of all kinds. The smoke of the passenger ship rose, and it was the boat girls who were busy, and I don't know which beautiful girl was still singing a beautiful song:

"Call, I'm here, I'm here, the root-pulling reeds and firewood flowers, the fragrant roses and magnolia flowers are blooming.

Butterfly, that love flower, sister that look, mandarin duck, that play in the water to Lang guess.

Little Lang'er, the hibiscus peony flowers are blooming under the moon

That playful minor, hot lyrics. It was sung by Su ** Niang's watery voice. Let the people who are in custody like a spring rain, and for a while the dock is very quiet, and the silence also stops, where they quietly listen to this refreshing fishing song. Until a voice of surprise rang out behind him"

"Brother Humble Words! Is that you? Shen Mo was listening to the Wang song, and suddenly heard that someone behind him called his name, looked back, and couldn't help laughing: "It's really where you don't meet in life, I didn't expect to see Brother Ruoyu here!" ”

I saw that the man was about the same age as Shen Mo, tall and tall, with broad shoulders and a thin waist, white skin, and good facial features, and he should have been as soft as a woman, but his chin like a knife and his eyes were bright and vigorous. What a young man who stands up to the sky!

This person is silent in the same year as the same family, surnamed Lin name Runzi Ruoyu, and looks like his name, but those who know him know that under this beautiful face, there is a heart that is hotter than fire and harder than a knife. Although it is only: A is born as a Jinshi, but in the same year of Bingchenke, his reputation is definitely in the top five, which is slightly inferior to Shen Mo, Xu Wei, Gao Yinglong and others, when it comes to him Lin Ruoyu. There's not a single one that doesn't give a thumbs up!

This person has one of the biggest characteristics, that is, "jealousy and hatred" When he was admitted to the Jinshi examination, his articles were written very well, and he was originally very sure of entering the Hanlin Academy, but because of his outspoken words about state affairs and fierce rhetoric, the spearhead was directed at the Yan family father and son. Although the examiner loves him and is brilliant, how dare he take him from high school? is also to protect him, under the pretext of his article, he lost the "neutrality and peace" and put it low into the top three.

When the list came out, everyone felt sorry for Lin Run. But he said happily: "My generation is a scholar, and I am about to do something practical for the country and the people, and if I don't go to the Hanlin Academy to enjoy the blessings, everyone thought that this was him grabbing meat on his face, but Lin Run proved that he was a man of words and deeds with practical actions; nbsp; The top three are the same jinshi, and they are used immediately after the list, so they released Linchuan County, and after serving for three years, they put Linchuan County, which was originally chaotic and the people were not able to make a living. The night of governance is not closed, the Haiyan River is clear, and the people call it "Qingtian", and the province is a model for the tree, asking other county orders to learn from him.

Lin Run has great talents, just a county, it is not enough to show, while doing his own work well, Lin Run also actively put forward opinions to the prefect, bluntly said that the work of the government is procrastinating, people are superficial, pushing the strings, serious corruption, and so on several major problems, and... The solution is given.

He can be an official without corruption, bribery, playing with women, and not going to bed late, but others can't. How can you stand it? So the prefect scolded him severely and asked him to take care of his own one-third of an acre! But Lin Run. There is a force that will not stop until the goal is reached, and your prefect will not listen, okay, I will report to the province; When the political envoy saw it, he also used it, and the second was cool. But the net is full of typical examples, and it can't be a horse! When he hit it, he put up with him; When the three-year examination was completed, he recommended him to supervise the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and sent this young master away.

Who knows that Lin Ruoyu, who has done the imperial history, can be regarded as finding his own stage, he has three major strengths, one is clear, and he can always see many things that others can't see; Second, he is careful and agile in thinking, only in this way can he speak sharply and words like a knife; Third, it is bold, no matter if you are the king of heaven, as long as the illegal deeds fall into his hands, then wait to be bulleted all over the head!

Coupled with his jealous and hateful temperament, he is a model of today's imperial history.

In Beijing for more than two years, he was one of the many people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, including Jiajing for 39 years. He impeached 100 people, and successfully pulled down 18 middle and high-ranking offenders from the third rank, two fourth ranks, and five grades, and he was unharmed, not because God favored him or was blessed by the big guy, but because of this person's combat power, which was unparalleled in the world.

Many people are born because Lin Run is a top three Tongjinshi. I looked down on him, but I didn't know that he was just one. The victim of exam-oriented education, what is its real strength. It is not something that can be measured by an examination, but it is only in a long-term political struggle that his impeachment recital is extremely sharp and without loopholes, and is considered a model of both offense and defense, which no one can break; His eloquence is even more vicious, as long as the opponent dares to pinch him face to face, he is guaranteed to kill one by one, and two by two. And the reaction is extremely fast, today's enemy scolds today, never sleeps overnight, kills all over the court, and is invincible. People give the nickname "Lin Yidao", known as the knife to see blood, specializing in the treatment of all kinds of dissatisfaction.

People believe that if it weren't for the emperor's favor and strict party, the number of prisoners killed by Lin Run would have multiplied.

With such a fierce person in the court, Yan Dang was naturally like a man's back, and he had no choice but to take out the means of rotten streets, Jiajing for 40 years, so that a move was promoted and degraded, and he was sent to the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate. Out of sight.

Yan Shifan was afraid of Lin Run, and wanted to beat him, but when Lin Run was about to go to work, he pretended to prepare a banquet for him, and invited other imperial historians to accompany him. During the dinner, everyone only said polite words. I didn't dare to say more, lest I offend the powerful elders. But Lin Run's attitude is different and unscrupulous. Talking and laughing at the table, Yan Shifan noticed that his behavior was a little abnormal, and he felt more and more unsteady. He instructed the guests who had been arranged early to talk to Lin Run. said that Xiaoge Lao hopes that you should not talk about the government casually, so as not to cause disaster. In the future, it is better to say less.

However, Lin Run took Yan Shifan's words as the wind in his ears, and after he was promoted to the imperial history of Nanjing, he did not change his true colors, and successively corrected lawlessness, especially the Yan Party elements, who were bombarded by him one after another, just catching up with the decline of the Yan Party. The results of the battle were even more brilliant, Di Youqing, Shen Quan, Tu Li and others all came to his knife, and they were famous for a while, which made the corrupt officials change their color when they heard it. and another Imperial History Department Ying Long, known as "South Dragon and North Forest."

But it is different from Gao Yinglong's fame. Lin Run's prestige has been accumulated over the years without changing his true colors, so he is more respected and more terrifying.

Shen Mo and Lin Run have been together in Beijing for half a year, and their impression of him is excellent, because he is not only as jealous as hatred and love the people as a son like Hai Rui, but also full of humanity and can tolerate other people's small mistakes. Especially when you are with friends, it is funny and elegant, and it is like a spring breeze.

So as soon as I saw Lin Run appear in front of me. Shen Mo was first startled, then overjoyed, patted him on the shoulder affectionately and said, "Why are you here?".

Lin Run smiled slightly, and said quietly: "Waiting for you." ”

Silent and unconvinced, he laughed and said, "you." Why didn't I hear you could tell fortunes? ”

Lin Run also smiled: "I'm really waiting for you." I've been waiting for you for a day, and I originally thought that I wouldn't see you again tonight, so I went to Shaoxing to wait for you, but I didn't expect God to bless me, and I still waited for you

Hearing him say this, he silently believed it and said with a smile: "Go to my boat and say."

"Let's go to the boat I hired." Lin Run smiled and said: "My boat lady can cook authentic Huaiyang dishes, I haven't eaten enough."

"That's good" Shen Mo said happily, and said to the guards who followed behind: "I won't go back to eat, you can have someone pick up some fresh fish and shrimp and send them over." The guards took the order.

The two of them walked two steps and arrived at the boat hired by Lin Run; nbsp; A back-to-back "canopy fast" boat is a mother and daughter, "At this moment, the girl is helping her mother cook on the tip of the boat, and I heard someone boarding the boat." He jumped to the bow of the boat and said affectionately: "Lin Gongzi, you are back!" ”

Then she appeared at the door of the boat, only to see her wearing a floral cloth apron, wiping her hands, while smiling brightly, two big black braids flicked at the back of her head, lined with her red and white goose egg face, that charm, really sultry.

It's just that this delicate little boat lady is a little ashamed of herself, she couldn't imagine that Lin Gongzi, who is as picturesque, would bring back a better-looking son, so she couldn't help lowering her head, tugging at the corner of her clothes and cramped: "You have a guest,"

Lin Run smiled and said, "Yes, this is my classmate and friend, if you call him Shen Gongzi, you can say to Shen Mo: "This is Ah Bi."

Shen smiled and said, "I'm sorry to disturb Abi Shiniang." ”

"Uh,, don't bother Xiao Yinlong Liu, Abi Hongyun was full of faces, and immediately lowered his eyes and asked the three of them; nbsp; Lin Run took out a small key of silver from his arms. handed it to her and said, "Let your Eminem fry a few good dishes." This Shen Gongzi is an old meal, and ordinary food can't get into his eyes. ”

Hearing him say this, Abidon came to his senses. Crisp said: "Our family's boat dishes are famous, and the two sons grabbed the small key silver tightly after speaking, and ran to the back of the boat with a jump, and passed the word to their mother.

Listening to her beautiful voice like a silver bell, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, sat in the cabin, opened the window, and saw the gradually cooling river. Abi served three or five cold dishes, and then served a pot of Yangzhou's local "Qionghua Dew" I don't know whether this wine is taken from the dew drops in Qionghua as liquid, or with the help of Qionghua's elegant name, but its color is soft, its taste is cool and delicious, and there is a kind of Ganoderma lucidum fragrance, which is favored by literati and scholars. There was still one night, and the two of them were not in a hurry at this time, so they sipped wine, said some goodbye feelings, and anecdotes of classmates, and time flew by. In the blink of an eye, the twilight was deep. Moon immersion river water.

"Let's eat!" At some point, Na Abi turned on the lamp and finally served the hot dish. In a blink of an eye, four small stir-fried dishes were put on the table, and he said crisply: "Stir-fried snail meat with leeks, stir-fried vegetables with broad bean paste, roasted saury with bamboo shoots, and roasted meat with dried pickles There is nothing to eat in a small boat." The guest officer invited Haihan. ”

Listen to her funny, silently taste a chopstick. The taste is very delicious, and I can't help but praise: "It's the ability to make the side dishes well." ”

"Listen to her nonsense, the famous Yangzhou Santou. Her mother is very good, and she can't compare to a big restaurant when she waits for leisure," Lin Run said with a smile.

"I can't eat the whole pig's head today," Abi said with a smile, "but you are blessed." You can eat the other two. Saying that, he said a little excitedly: "Shen Gongzi's family." I sent a big abalone of more than 10 catties."

The so-called three heads of Yangzhou are stewed crab roe lion head, dismantling abalone head and roasted whole pig's head. They are all cooked with ingredients that are common or even have a strong fishy smell. After being made, it is smooth and tender, which makes people never get tired of it, although it is not the most expensive in Yangzhou cuisine. But it is the most famous.

After a while, Abi really brought up a pot of lion heads floating with green leaves, and the little girl called it "Cai Hua Big Meat", which is indeed very vivid, and the meatballs with a big fist are fried into Cai yellow by meat and vegetable oil, which makes people can't help but move their index fingers.

Abi gave Shen Mo a share, and when he came to the front, Shen Mo took a chopstick lion's head and put it in his mouth, which was really fat and tender, and he could clearly feel the fresh fragrance of crab roe; The greens are even more crispy and clear. It must be scooped with a spoon, and the mouth is full of fragrance after eating, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant.

Before the dish was finished, the abalone head was served again. The huge abalone head, the skin is sticky and smooth, the fish meat is fatty and tender, the soup is thick, and the taste is delicious, so that the two of them can feast on it. There is also the poetic feeling of "drinking under the river and moon in the middle of the night, and the beauty burns the fish head with her slender hands, and unconsciously she is full of wine and food, and her heart is satisfied."

At this time, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the two of them went out of the cabin, sat down on the bow of the boat, and Abi gave them a pot of Biluochun, and then obediently went inside to clean up the scraps.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and couldn't help but sigh silently: "No wonder people say that Yangzhou is slow, Yangzhou is slow." As soon as this person arrived in Yangzhou, he couldn't help but slow down. ”

Lin Run almost didn't have a sip of tea; nbsp; came out and scolded with a smile: "The first time I heard that Yangzhou is slow is this explanation, you are making it up, right?" ”

"It doesn't matter if I make it up or not." Shen Mo shook his head and said softly: "The important thing is that Yangzhou is such a good place, why did the emperor leave in a hurry?" Do you want to clash with Yangzhou City?

"The emperor and Yangzhou do not rush." Lin Run said softly: "But Yangzhou City is in conflict with the emperor. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Shen Mo said with interest.

He Wannian, the prefect of Yangzhou, wanted to put on a show to welcome the emperor, but the big families in the city did not agree Lin Run said in a low voice: "Those rich households have the same opinion. It is said that this matter has to be low-key. ”

"Why? Shen Mo asked.

This is not difficult to understand Lin Run said with a smile: "Serve the emperor well, only the prefect is promoted and rich, and those rich people are thankless" said with a sneer: "The imperial court has always wanted to increase the industrial and commercial tax from thirty taxes to one." Raise to ten taxes and one, and the rich people are full of angel money. I don't know how many big people in the DPRK and the central government have been bought, and everyone helps the rich people cry out for poverty, as if even if they raise their points by one point, they will force everyone to death, so they can barely suppress it. ”

I understood, and Shen Mo suddenly said: "So they don't dare to be too ostentatious, for fear that the emperor will look red, and they will raise the tax when they go back." Right?.

"Not really." Lin Run nodded.

I'm very sorry everyone, I've been a busy mess lately, and my family has moved in the past two days, and I'm so busy, and I don't know where so many things come from, and I'm so tired that I've been soaked in water all day, and I don't have the energy to update normally, until today it's over, and I won't have my work in the future."
