Mouth. mouth

Heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for death, Yan Fuzhong is in a mourning, but it does not affect the sleep of others who should sleep, and the drink that should drink.

Fangju Temple Hutong, Wu Shi came to the house. He, Dong Chuance, and Zhang Dang got together to drink again. A plate of peanuts, two catties of old white dry, three taels of pig's head meat, and four small pickles can be dealt with from evening until midnight.

Zhang Nuo, one of the three, participated in the ceremony to welcome the triumph with the lord of the ministry during the day, and recounted the grand occasion at that time in a vivid voice: "Speaking of the outside just now, the city is even more lively. That's called a fireworks, and the incense mist is around. Firecrackers, fires, and cannons rang out like gruel in a pot, and a person on the street was like a tide, sweating like rain; The common people crowded over, crowded over, and shouted. Crazy and drunk. I have been in the capital for so many years, and I have never seen such a lively scene. ”

Hearing this, Dong Chuance regretted it very much and said: "If I knew this, it would be good to go out and have a look." ”

"It's a shame you didn't go." Zhang Swelling smiled: "It's just too crowded, just to see Shen Zhuangyuan, all of them are sweaty, crying dad and calling mother, and the flower shelves on the side of the road for the New Year are all squeezed and trampled, I don't know how many people are injured." ”

Dong Chuance said enviously: "If we can do this once in our life, it will be worth reducing our life span for ten years." ”

"Well, who's to say it isn't." Jian Ben shook his head with emotion and said: "Shen Shuyan is just a Jinshi in Jiajing's thirty-five years, two subjects later than us, why is the gap so big?" ”

"Neither power nor opportunity can be missing." Dong Chuance said.

The two were chatting hotly, and Wu Shilai, who had not spoken much since the beginning, finally couldn't hold back. Slammed the table, causing the two of them to tremble. They all looked at him and said, "I said Lao Wu, are you eating explosives or is it time?" ”

"Alas," Wu Shilai sighed heavily and said, "I hate, today's glory should have belonged to us." ”

"Belong to us?" The two couldn't help laughing and said, "You didn't drink too much, did you?" ”

Seeing that the two of them didn't believe it at all, Wu Shilai couldn't hold back his face, and said sadly: "Originally, don't believe it." So saying, he got up and went into the inner room, and after a while he took out a leather bag and threw it to the two of them, saying, "Well, you see, I had this a month ago." "It was the bag that Zhang Juzheng threw into his house.

The two opened the paper bag curiously, looked at the contents together, and couldn't help but be surprised when they looked at it: "Who gave it to you?" ”

"I don't know." Wu Shilai shook his head and said, "But what is in it must be true."

"That's, and now it's all proven." Dong Chuance nodded, and Zhang Swollen asked again: "There is this thing, why didn't you show it to us earlier?" ”

Of course, Wu Shilai couldn't tell them that he had already gone to the book alone, but he didn't know that he was detained by someone from the General Administration Department, so he couldn't go up to heaven. If they knew the truth, they would definitely blame themselves for not being righteous, so they lied: "Alas, at that time, seeing that the Yan Party was about to cover the sky, how dare I take it out and stab this basket and harm the two virtuous brothers?" ”

said with a heavy sigh and said: "Who wants the wind to turn and become what it is now, I regret it to death, you can blame me as much as you want." ”

"Now that it's over, what's the use of saying that?" The two of them already believed his words and said, "It's just that next time there is such a thing, it doesn't matter if you do it or not." Say it in advance! ”

Wu Shilai nodded, sullen the clipping, and suddenly raised his head and said, "Actually, there is still a chance this time."

"What chance?" The two of them couldn't raise their spirits and said: "Yang Shun Lukai has been locked into Beijing, and Xu Lun has also resigned. ”

"Our brothers promise themselves to be heroes," Wu Shilai said, "but what are you dormant in this dwelling for three years?" It's not that it's a blockbuster! ”

"What's a blockbuster?" The two asked.

"You think, Xu Yanglu and the three of them are just accomplices, the father and son of the Yan family are still safe and sound, and although the three people are happy. But it is only a headache and a foot pain, and it can't really solve the people from hanging upside down and save the people from fire and water! ”

"What do you mean?" The two were surprised: "Impeachment of the Yan family's father and son? ”

"Yes!" Wu Shilai said loudly: "The border ministers are guilty of looting military salaries and bribing the cabinet in power, and the cabinet is also guilty of accepting bribes in power." Furthermore, the root is still the evil result of the appointment and dismissal of officials by the Yan family's father and son! As he spoke, he picked up the wine bowl, took a big sip, and said hesitantly: "Speaking of the Yan family's father and son, the old thief has been flattering and inviting pets all day long, and his evil son Yan Shifan actually sneaked into the Xiyuan cabinet and replied to the six Baisi chapters; Relying on his father's guise to recruit power to demonstrate, command ministers, and subjugate generals! Wanton corruption and bending the law, and wealth is piling up! The people who run for officials and officials record the people's anointment to give Yan's family, and the building officials often send the power door! There is this son in the bribery camp is not stopped, and only the honest people can be easy" said and brought in the wine in the bowl. The brush was shattered and said: "Eliminate the evil, get rid of its roots, don't impeach Yan Song's father and son, and just play his minions." And what's the use? ”

His generous statement made Dong and Zhang also excited, and they already had wine, all of them were full of blood, and scolded the Yan family's father and son. He carefully pondered the materials in the cowhide bag, trying to find out the basis for the impeachment of the father and son. ”、

The three of them looked at the materials separately, Dong Chuance divided the last stack, and when he saw the last page, he saw Zhang Juzheng's message: "Not for personal grievances, but for public indignation, only impeach Yang Lu, don't ask others." Only when the green mountains are left can there be firewood. Twenty-four words, I couldn't help but hesitate: "The person who gave you the materials said, don't ask others, don't let us impeach the Yan family father and son?" ”

Zhang Dang took it and looked at it: "Should we listen to this?" ”

Wu Shilai has read this sentence. But he had long forgotten to go outside the clouds, and when he heard the words, he muttered for a moment and said: "Things change over time, and the situation at the beginning is different from now. But now Wu Peng, Na Hanqing, Ouyang Bijin, Xu Lun, Yang Shun and other backbone members of the strict party are all dismissed or chased, they are defeated and lost, they are bound to be like tomorrow's yellow flowers, and defeat is only in the day! He snorted and laughed: "I want to take advantage of his illness and kill him, and at this time, it is the time to impeach the father and son of the Yan family!" ”

Zhang Swollen asked softly, "What if, what if it doesn't bounce off?" And half a sentence: "Aren't we going to suffer from it?" , It goes without saying that Dong Chuance also looked at Wu Shilai.

"Afraid of what?" Wu Shilai said angrily: "When a man is alive, he should make contributions and go down in history!" We're all in our thirties and almost forty. If you are idle, you can only blank the boy's head! He waved his hand and said, "If you don't do it." I'll do it myself! I'm the only one who wins or loses

The two of them were provoked by him, and they didn't fall into a cold voice: "Look at what you said, how can you be counted as the only one?" Yes, we made an appointment to pledge our country. Live and die together, of course, we have to do it together! ”

"Alright, let's split up. Impeach the father and son of the Yan family! Wu Shilai stretched out his hand and said: "It's done, let's make contributions together; Defeated. We're going down in history too! ”

"Good!" Dong Chuance also stretched out his hand and put it on Wu Shilai's hand, Zhang Shi hesitated a little and said, "I still want to ask, if we fail, what will happen to us?" The two of them sneered and said, "Don't participate if you're afraid of death, so that you can live your stable life." ”

Zhang Swollen Face turned red and said: "I just can't rest assured that the old mother at home, in case we really have three long and two short, how can she be an old man4?" ”

"Don't worry!" Dong Chuanlai said with a smile: "My hometown has hundreds of acres of thin fields, although I am not very rich, it is no problem to help you support your relatives, tomorrow I will let people take Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Prostitute, and Ling Gongzi, as long as there is a bite to eat, they will not be hungry!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Swollen bowed gratefully and said, "Thank you, Brother Gaoyi!" "Dong Chuance is a young sea.

"Brother of your own, what are you doing politely?" Dong Chuance waved his hand and smiled.

"How now?" Wu Shilai, whose arms were sore, said.

"Since there are no worries," Zhang Swollen said: "Then what is there to hesitate about, of course I will advance and retreat with the two brothers!" The three of them swore an oath and agreed to live and die together.

"There's another question," Zhang Na said, retracting his hand.

"You're not going to regret it, are you?" Wu Shilai said angrily: "Is it okay to count over and over again, man? ”

"How can I do that?" Zhang Swollen hurriedly explained: "I'm asking, how can we avoid being deducted by the General Administration Department again?" When the two of them heard this, they fell silent for a moment. Yes, the General Administration Department is in charge of the internal and external chapters and the sealing of the appeals of the people. was firmly controlled by the Yan Party, and became a watchdog to prevent the emperor from seeing the impeachment of the Yan Party.

Since the incident of Shen Lian and Yang Jisheng, this kind of illegal censorship has become stricter and stricter. As long as it is unfavorable to Yan Song, even if it is a few words, it can't be let go, didn't Wu Shilai's last letter be deducted by them?

If you are detained again, won't you work in vain? The three of them pondered for a moment, and Wu Shilai patted his thigh and said, "There is!" There's a way! ”

"Speak quickly, speak quickly!" The two urged.

"Have you handed in all your New Year's Day greeting forms?" Wu Shilai woke up the two of them with just one sentence, and suddenly said: "You mean, stealing the congratulatory watch for the pillar?" ”

"Not bad!" Wu Shilai nodded. According to the example, on New Year's Day, hundreds of officials should congratulate the emperor on his birthday, and the officials in Beijing without exception must be on the table, and it cannot be later than the first day of the first month, so the people of the General Administration Department have no time to secretly open and check, and besides, they are all some rumors, and there is no need to check, so as to save spitting out the overnight meal, but Emperor Jiajing loves to see it, and looks very carefully, and even the congratulatory table can be seen if it is not raised.

Just take this opportunity to avoid the scrutiny of the General Secretary in the name of the congratulatory table and show it to the emperor!

"This is really heaven wants us to do something" The three of them all felt that this was providence, and they were all in high spirits, and they hurried to go home and write a chapter to deliver it before Chinese New Year's Eve. In the Yamen Department of the Criminal Department, when the secretary saw them, he said, "I'm just sending the three of you, and if you come a little later, you have to send it yourself." The three of them laughed together, inserted the three books in it, and said, "Isn't this seriously written?" There, seeing the secretary of the chamber and sealing all the pieces and sending them to the carriage, he breathed a sigh of relief and left the chamber.

After coming out, the three of them looked at each other, their eyes were bloodshot and their faces were pale, obviously they hadn't closed their eyes all night, they looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "Hurry up and send Song Huang, go back to sleep, and keep vigil at night." When I walked out, I saw my colleagues gathered together, talking about something enthusiastically.

The three of them couldn't help but be surprised, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, who is not in a hurry to rush home? Is there anything more important about incubating at noon, so I don't have to be sleepy, and I learned that the 7-week-old wife of the source has passed away, and the emperor specially ordered the old father and son of the Yan Pavilion to be exempted from the congratulatory table and do not need to congratulate.

The three of them had different faces at once, Zhang Shi's face was pale, and he motioned for the two to come out quickly. When he arrived at a secluded place in the courtyard, Wu Shilai said happily: "Sure enough, the retribution is not happy, Yan Song is widowed, Yan Shifan is worried, and the unlucky day of the Yan family is coming!" ”

Dong Chuance also smiled: "Yes, the Yan family is in big trouble now." ”

Zhang Swollen was worried and Zhong Zhong said: "There is a funeral in someone's house, let's go to sue others, will it make people feel unauthentic?" ”

"We are public outrage. It's not a personal grudge! Wu Shilai said unhappily: "You are a person, you just have too many concerns, let's have a public heart, the sun and the moon can be learned, and we are not afraid of people talking!" ”

Zhang Swollen sighed and said, "Forget it, it's too late to say anything, everything has been sent out, when I didn't say it." He laughed and said, "Hurry up and go back for the New Year, the sound of firecrackers is up." Let him stir up like this, and the three of them actually broke up a little unhappily.

That swollen back home. The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became, and when I got home, I said that I was tired, and when I went back to the house, I couldn't sleep with my eyes open, and my mind was full of that incident" He felt that this time the book might be abrupt, maybe it was not to sprinkle salt on Yan Dang's wounds, but to help them, and he couldn't help but become more and more flustered, and he regretted that his ears were too soft. You shouldn't blindly follow, at least you have to ask Elder Xu Ge before talking, right?

If something happens, you will be finished, but if you cause any trouble, you will die.

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. In the end, he couldn't lie down, got up with a bone, put on his cotton shoes and walked out, and said secretly: "The matter has come to this point, it is useless to regret it, and it is important to inform Xu Ge Lao quickly."

His family and his wife were making dumplings there, and when they saw him walking out, they asked, "Where are you going so late?"

"Oh, I guess I didn't buy paper. Go out and buy a few knives. Zhang Qing didn't want her family to worry, so she casually talked nonsense, so she raised her legs and went out of the house.

His wife asked him, "Didn't I let you buy it?" ”

He also said strangely: "Well, it's on the table." I saw a stack of knife-good yellow paper neatly placed on the square table.

"This kid, tired and stupid, isn't he?" His wife muttered, and continued to work with him. Xu Ge sealed the pen in the afternoon. Watching the Si Zhilang put the seal on the Wuyi Palace. I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the busyness of the year has finally come to an end, and I can rest for a few days during the New Year, and nourish the spirit that is about to be hollowed out.

Accepted the early New Year's greetings from his subordinates, he got on the sedan chair and hurried back, and there was a large family waiting for him to celebrate the New Year. It is said that the families of the two are in their hometowns, and they are all alone in the capital as officials. There is a saying that every festive season is to think of relatives, and Mr. Xu is full of love, to give them the warmth of home, so that they no longer miss home.

It's not the first time that Zhang Juzheng has spent the New Year at Xu Jie's house. Silence was the first time, when he received Xu Ge's invitation, he was depressed, and said to the old bachelor Xu Wei: "It seems that you have to go elsewhere for the New Year." ”

Xu Wei smiled indifferently: "No need, I'll stay here by myself, there is wine and meat, and there are people to talk to, why go to other people's houses to cause trouble?" Although Shen Mo gave many people a holiday, there were still more than 20 people who couldn't go home and stayed in the house for the New Year, so Xu Wei planned to make do with them.

Shen Mo looked at his unkempt and sloppy appearance, and when he put on new clothes, he seemed to have stolen them, and couldn't help sighing: "A tall, white, fat, and decent person, why can't he be clean?" ”

"Hehe" Xu Wei smiled: "Who will show it cleanly?" ”

"Looks like it's time to find a woman to take care of you." Shen Mo persuaded him: "Even if you can't meet a suitable one and don't want to get married, you can take a side house first, at least take care of your life." ”

"Alas" Xu Wei sighed and said with a smile: "Let's go, don't worry about my business, it's useless." ”

"Why didn't it work?" Shen Mo said softly: "It seems that you haven't forgotten her until now." ”

"Nope." Xu Wei shook his head categorically and said, "What are you thinking, we are in a master-apprentice relationship, how can we be together?" ”

"I didn't say who it was?" He smiled silently and narrowly: "Don't you recruit yourself, right?" ”

"I found out that you became an official and became an old traitor!" Xu Wei said angrily: "Okay, to be honest with you, we are in contact by letter." But it's all about Buddhism, people have cut off the roots of the dust, and it's quiet, so let's save it. ”

Hearing this, Shen Mo sighed and said: "I know her situation, her father told me to take care of her, but I haven't helped her find a good family until now." ”

Alas, Xu Wei lowered his head depressedly and said softly: "I feel that she doesn't seem to look down on me, and that's right, once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan is not a cloud, I still die of this heart."

Habitually wrote 5,000 words and continued to write the next chapter. ）
