Walking into the depths of the main hall, the sound of the court staff and howls outside could no longer be heard clearly, and when you entered the ashram, the whole world fell silent.

Emperor Jiajing was still lying there, motionless, as if he were old in a hospital bed...... If Shen Mo didn't see it, the two eunuchs in the inner court would all suffer in the blink of an eye, and they would not be able to give birth to contempt.

He originally planned to sue the black as soon as he came up, push the matter of that jade ruyi on Chen Hong's head, and beat this guy to death with a stick. But now, with the experience of the two great eunuchs, Shen Mo was full of fear of Jiajing, an old pervert, and after saluting respectfully, he listened to Emperor Jiajing's next words.

"Sit." Jiajing said slowly.

"Yes." So he got up, rested half of his buttocks on the embroidered pier, and sat upright.

"Li Fang has been sent to Shou Palace," Jiajing said as if to himself, "Chen Hong was also beaten with eighty court rods and imprisoned for a month. "Hurry up, Huang Jin will not be able to return to Beijing for a month, and before this 'heavyweight' opponent arrives, the emperor will have to lock up Chen Hong to prevent him from biting indiscriminately.

Shen Mo said softly: "Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's ......"

"Don't say that kind of cliché, everyone is happy when they suffer from the rain and dew, and no one can laugh when they eat the thunder." Jiajing laughed and said, "I don't believe you can be an exception." ”

Shen Mo smiled embarrassedly: "The last time I heard Yan Ge Lao say this, Wei Chen has always felt very energetic, and it is easy to have the opportunity to use it, but he didn't expect to use it wrongly." ”

"Go to ......" Emperor Jiajing was amused by him, shook his head and said: "Don't learn from Yan Ge Lao, he is him and you are you, if you dare to learn from him, I will send you to Yunnan to be a companion with another champion." ”

Shen Mo knew that he was talking about Yang Sheng'an, in fact, Yang Shen had been dead for several years, but no one dared to tell the emperor, so he said softly: "That champion is dead." ”

"Dead?" Jiajing was stunned for a moment and said, "When did you die?" ”

"It's been five or six years." Shen Mo said softly: "Weichen doesn't know the exact time, but he is sure that he has passed away. ”

"Cheap this rebel minister...... Jiajing was silent for a long time, and asked quietly: "Why didn't anyone report me?" ”

"Maybe they don't feel the need to alarm Your Majesty." Shen Mo said softly.

"Hmph, civil officials are like this, they are good at forming parties, covering for each other, and trying to fool the monarch's father." Emperor Jiajing snorted and said, "You are the same, Xu Dang!" ”

Shen Mo trembled in fright, pointed to his face, and said with a wry smile: "Yan Ge Lao also has a famous saying, called Shengming is not the emperor, do you think Weichen is Xu Dang?" "The last time he was impeached, although it was led by the Yan Party, most of it was due to the Xu Party, if it wasn't for Jiajing's last big hand to cover him, I'm afraid that the current Lord Shen will either be in Liaodong to hug the ice and snow, or on the way to Yungui, or halfway through, let the assassin give him a click, anyway, he will definitely not sit here again.

"You don't deserve to be a good official." Jiajing shook his head and smiled: "People are all left and right, but you hit the wall left and right, and you didn't touch your nose crookedly?" And this time, if you let the family be a gunman, you don't know it, if you change to a confused emperor, you will be the one who will be beaten by the court staff at this time. ”

"The emperor is Mingjian, the minister can't do it," said with a bitter face: "The water in this pool in the capital is too mixed, and Weichen is timid, and he doesn't dare to go down to swim, so he dares to beg the emperor, so let Weichen go, even if he is a prefect, it is more than a hundred times better than now." ”

When Lu Bing was there, he shielded the emperor from all of Shen Mo's secret activities, so in Jiajing's heart, Shen Mo was still the little young man with a pure heart, and sighed when he heard the words: "Yes, the tiger is old, and he can't control the mountains and forests, and the leopards and jackals are all unscrupulous." As he spoke, he glanced at him and said, "But you can't leave the capital, otherwise you will die without a place to be buried." ”

Shen Mo sighed lightly, nodded, and listened to Jiajing again: "Dongchang will withdraw from your senior brother's case, and Jinyiwei can't investigate it, but Shuntian Mansion and the Criminal Department are also inappropriate." "Lu Bing's case is likely to involve the inner court, Jinyiwei, and even his family, if the outer court is allowed to intervene, everything will be revealed to the world, which Jiajing does not want to see, and it is also undignified for the court. But if you let Dongchang investigate, it will definitely hit Jinyiwei, and Jinyiwei itself is suspicious, so the most suitable factory guard can't be used.

But this case can't be investigated, otherwise Jiajing's heart disease will never go. His gaze finally fell on Shen Mo and said, "I am going to hand over this matter to you, do you have any confidence?" ”

"Uh......" Shen Mo didn't dare to agree easily: "Weichen is the ...... of the country's priest" means that I am now a cultural person and do not engage in criminal investigation. He didn't want to get involved in it, because the situation was out of his hands.

"Haven't you been the governor of the prefect? He also served as a Zhejiang patrolman. Jiajing didn't see it that way, and said lightly: "It should have been a case for several years, why, have you been a confused official?" ”

"That's not it." Shen Mo said helplessly: "What Weichen means is that if his name is not right, his words are not good, and he will be hindered by investigating his case, I am afraid that it will be the emperor." ”

"That's not a problem," Jiajing said, "Didn't you take the Ruyi I gave you as a sword envoy?" Just follow the prescription. ”

Shen Mo's heart trembled, he took a deep breath, and said with a blank expression: "Weichen has been handed over to Gonggong Chen, and asked him to hand it over to the emperor, didn't he report it to the emperor?" Saying that, he smiled and said: "This thing is too powerful, Weichen doesn't dare to take it anymore." ”

"Is Chen Hong intimidating you?" Emperor Jiajing's eyes were cold and said: "This slave is bold!" ”

"No......" Shen Mo said quickly.

"Hmm......" Jiajing snorted.

"Oh, I don't dare to hide it from the emperor," Shen Mo had no choice but to admit: "Gonggong Chen found Weichen and said that Topaz Ruyi is a treasure of the Heavenly Family, and he can't let my courtier use it indiscriminately, and now that he has been wishful once, he should return it to the emperor." "What do you mean by reversing black and white? This is called reversing black and white, obviously he said it himself, but at this moment, it was all imposed on Chen Hong.

"Ma Quan." Jiajing instructed the eunuchs standing beside him: "Go out, let them stop playing with the last twenty sticks!" ”

"Yes." Ma Quan complied, walked out quickly, arrived outside the palace gate, and said to the Han general who was executed: "The master ordered, the last twenty strokes, fight with heart!" "The staff has the thickness of Chengren's arm, and it is made of solid hardwood, and it is the same on the body, why can someone take eighty canes and walk on the ground, and in less than a month, they can be restored to the same as before; Some were beaten with forty rods, but they were beaten to the point of cripplement. And how can there be a man who eats only twenty rods, and yet dies?

The key lies not in the physique of the inmate, but in the strength of the executor; if you 'beat you hard,' you will be able to beat you even if you are made of steel and iron; if you 'beat with your heart,' you will be beaten to death and you will not be able to take care of yourself for the rest of your life."

And this Chen Hong, who has eaten fifty zhang, looks like his skin is open and his flesh is blurred, but in fact, his muscles and bones are not hurt at all, although he is in pain now, go back and wipe some gold sore medicine, and he can pee on the ground at night, obviously, the 'Han generals' did not dare to be ruthless to this Dongchang father-in-law, except for the first three sticks, the back was raised high and fell gently, without hitting hard.

Emperor Jiajing was clear about this trick, and even he was keen to hint at the extent of the blow to the eunuchs when he was in the court staff, and took this private right into his own hands...... The howl of the ghost crying wolf naturally disappeared.

In the Golden Palace, Jiajing was reprimanding and said silently: "You coward! Jiajing scolded him and said: "Do whatever you want, he let you die, will you go too?" ”

"That's not going to ......" Shen Mo whispered: "But Weichen also felt that the symbolism of wishful thinking was too heavy, and it was not the blessing of the courtiers to receive it at home, so he didn't insist on it." Saying that, he glanced at Jiajing pitifully and said, "Or, the emperor will reward me again?" ”

"It's late, it's gone!" Jiajing rolled her eyes and said, "You think that's really itchy?" Say yes, say don't, don't? At this time, the little eunuch came over with a big soup bowl, knelt in front of Jiajing and said, "Master, please take medicine." ”

"What is this?" Jiajing glanced at Li Shizhen, who followed up.

"A kettle of nightshade, decoction in water." Li Shizhen was neither humble nor arrogant: "The emperor drank this big bowl, which can help eliminate erysipelas in the body." ”

Emperor Jiajing was surprisingly not stubborn, he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, picked up the big bowl, and drank it as soon as he held his breath and made a loud noise. Coupled with the bowl of fish soup I drank earlier, my stomach was filled with two large bowls of water, and it suddenly swelled so much that I couldn't do it anymore, so I wanted to lie down.

"Can't lie down!" Li Shizhen stopped him loudly: "Get up and go!" ”

"Okay...... Emperor Jiajing said helplessly: "Help me up." ”

Then two eunuchs came up one on each side, held Emperor Jiajing's arm, picked him up from the dragon bed, and walked slowly in the hall according to Li Shizhen's instructions.

After a while, Jiajing felt discomfort in his abdomen, and as he walked, his legs became weak, and he couldn't walk anymore no matter what, so he had to close his eyes and let the medicine attack in his abdomen.

Standing silently on the side, he only listened to the emperor's dragon belly like summer thunder, the tide of the Qiantang sea, and the terrifying sound of gurgling.

He didn't feel anything yet, but Jiajing's face couldn't hold on, and he said to Shen Mo intermittently: "You...... Let's go outside and wait, and we'll be ...... Come back and talk back. ”

Shen Mo hurriedly responded, quickly withdrew, and after a while, Li Shizhen also came out, and Shen Mo asked in a low voice: "Why did you, a doctor, also be kicked out?" ”

"The emperor has a good face, and the doctor can't read it." Li Shizhen said lightly: "Let's get some food, I'm hungry." ”

Shen Mo called a eunuch and said, "I'm sorry for this father-in-law, bring some light food." As he spoke, he quietly handed out a silver ticket and put it into the eunuch's sleeve, and the eunuch immediately went upside down...... The two had eaten in the side hall, and they didn't wait for anyone to speak. The emperor didn't speak, and he was sure that no one was allowed to leave half a step, so he had to wait there boredly. It was not until the next morning that Ma Quan came in and said, "The emperor has woken up and wants to see the two of you." ”

The two of them made do with this night in the side hall, their faces were not washed, and their clothes were wrinkled, so they followed Ma Quan into the house, and saw that Jiajing's complexion was much better, and he was drinking the 'white crucian carp soup'.

Shen Mo was relieved when he saw this: "Weichen's heart can be regarded as putting it in his stomach." ”

Jiajing was also very happy, he once thought that his time was not far away, who knew that after Li Shizhen's conditioning, the effect was obvious, and under the good mood, he was also in good spirits, and stretched out his thumb to Li Shizhen and said: "It is worthy of being a miracle doctor!" ”

Li Shizhen didn't care, and asked with a smile: "What did the emperor feel yesterday?" ”

Hearing this, Shen Mo retreated: "Weichen avoids it." ”

"It's okay, you can listen to it too, so that the ministers don't have to think nonsense." Emperor Jiajing was in good spirits on happy occasions, and said indifferently: "Yesterday, I used Mr. Li's medicine, and I had a burst of colic in my abdomen, and then I went out of the afternoon for a noon and an afternoon, and it was only at night that the diarrhea stopped, so that I was weak, and I fell asleep on the bed," said with a happy smile: "I slept very soundly, and I slept until today." When I woke up, I felt relieved that I hadn't felt so relaxed for a long time. ”

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!" Shen Mo hurriedly congratulated on the side, and those eunuchs reacted and hurriedly followed in unison to say congratulations.

"Hehe, it's a good ......" Jiajing was also very happy, stroked his beard and laughed.

Only Li Shizhen was puzzled, and asked in a big way: "What does that catharsis look like?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent, Emperor Jiajing was embarrassed, if it wasn't for someone else asking, he would have to be pulled out and beaten, but it was Li Shizhen who asked, no matter how difficult it was to say, he was a little embarrassed and said: "The things that came out were a little scary, they were all colorful and shining." As he spoke, he looked at Li Shizhen and asked, "Mr. Li, what is this?" ”

Li Shizhen's heart was like a mirror, and he replied: "These things are all the poison of the Danshi in the emperor's body, and now they are discharged from the emperor's body, so you can feel a little more comfortable." ”

The joy on Jiajing's face froze, obviously Li Shizhen said a certain word, which made the emperor feel unhappy.

But Li Shizhen didn't realize it, and still talked eloquently: "The colorful and shiny shows that there are many kinds of erysipelas in the emperor's body, and after years of accumulation, it has reached the point of forming a substance." The silence on the side gave him a wild look, Li Shizhen was still unaware, and continued: "If you don't stop taking those pills, the grass people can't do anything!" ”

"Enough!" Jiajing suddenly changed color, and immediately suppressed his anger and said, "Mr. Li's words, I will consider it." Saying that, he instructed Ma Quandao: "Clean up Mr. Li's accommodation and ask him to rest first." ”

"Mr. Li, please." Ma Quan stepped forward and said to Li Shizhen.

Li Shizhen saw that Huang Yanjing had reached this point, but he was still obsessed, and couldn't help but sigh deeply and followed Ma Quan.

As soon as Li Shizhen left, Shen Mo hurriedly said softly: "Your Majesty, Dr. Li is such a person, don't take it to heart......"

"Alas......" Jiajing sighed and said: "You don't have to cover for him, I can be loyal and annihilated, I won't be like Cao Ying, and he won't be able to become Hua Tuo." Saying that, he shook his head, but said regretfully: "These famous doctors are too confident in their medical skills, and they don't believe that there is still Jindan Dao in this world, so they will never be able to cultivate the Dao." ”

"Yes." Shen Moxin said that why is this so stubborn, he is all a colorful rice field, and he is still superstitious about his Jindan Avenue...... For a moment, he even thought of some kind of wheel.

"The Blue Immortal Gang has asked, there are still five years, and in five years, I will be able to cultivate the Dao!" Jiajing's clear face showed a paranoid expression and said: "Although I have encountered difficulties now, I can't be frightened, I have been cultivating for decades, and now I am about to become successful, but I can't stop at this juncture." Then he said resolutely: "Say anything, you have to hold on for another five years!" ”

Shen Mo didn't have Li Shizhen's pure heart, and when he heard the words, he only promised: "The emperor's integrity is commendable, and he will definitely be able to move the heavens and ......the earth."

He was obviously talking nonsense, but Jiajing heard it as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and said with a fanatical expression: "That's right, I am the son of heaven, the son of heaven, God will bless me, bless me every time I turn evil into good fortune, otherwise Ji Tai will come!" ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live...... "The room was full of people who had to kneel down together and cheer for the emperor.

"You all have to follow me faithfully," Emperor Jiajing said, looking at the people on the earth, "In the future, when one person attains the Tao and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, I will bring you to heaven together." ”

"Thank you, Lord Long." Everyone had to be grateful.

"But now, you have to do a good job, don't trouble me, don't distract me!" Jiajing said in a loud voice: "Did you hear that?" ”

Silence said: "The ministers obey the order" The eunuchs also said: "The slaves and maids obey the order." ”

Jiajing's gaze was finally drawn to Shen Mo by the 'minister's order', and he ordered in a deep voice: "I have sent you as the imperial history of Zuo Yudu, and you are fully responsible for the Lu Taibao case, but there is an investigation and inquiry, and the internal and external ministers must cooperate, and the offender will be dismissed from office on the spot for the crime of complicity in this case and sent to prison!" He looked at him meaningfully and said, "Don't live up to my expectations, go." ”

"Obey the order!" Silently replied loudly and withdrew from the Golden Palace.
