Time goes back to when Shen Mo went to visit Lu Bing, and Zhang Juzheng went to ask Xu Jie...... Today's weather is really sunny, autumn is crisp, and the sky is cloudless. Even Emperor Jiajing, who was bent on the Tao, couldn't sit still all day long, and took Xu Wei and the old eunuch Li Fang to stroll in the West Garden to relax.

The West Garden is a royal garden, with beautiful landscapes and beautiful scenery, unlike the Forbidden City, which is the palace rooms with rows of red walls and yellow tiles, giving people a feeling of depression and depression.

There is no stone wooden barrier straight railing, winding path corridor, everywhere is the elegant scenery of nature, full of fresh breath, perhaps this is the reason why Emperor Jiajing has not gone for more than ten years.

Emperor Jiajing roamed in the garden, first playing in the water and watching the fish by the Taiye Pond; I went to the Nine Dragons Wall to enjoy the green bamboo and listen to the birdsong; He also drank on Qionghua Island and listened to Xu Wei's poems, which could make him feel relaxed and happy, and forget the worries of the world.

Xu Wei took out all his skills, took out the ability to press the bottom of the box, and Li Fang praised him on the side, making Emperor Jiajing sometimes leaning forward and backwards, sometimes thoughtful, and his interest was very high. After eating and drinking, he still felt unfinished, and asked Xu Weidao: "What else is there to play?" ”

Xu Wei thought for a while and said: "The sky is high in autumn, and climbing high and looking far away will definitely make the emperor feel relaxed and happy, and the whole body will be comfortable." ”

Li Fang was worried about the emperor's dragon body, and said; "It's not a short time to play today, there is a way that is too late, or let's go to Guanghan Palace to have a look, and then go to the distance another day." Guanghan Palace is on Qionghua Island in the South China Sea, which is a five-story pagoda and the highest point of Xiyuan.

Jiajing originally wanted to go to Jingshan, but after thinking about it, it was quite far, so forget it. He agreed to Li Fang's invitation, and with his support, he climbed the pagoda on the island, and looked in the direction of the south outside the palace, the magnificent rivers and mountains of his old Zhu family, and the towering capital city were all in full view, Jiajing couldn't help but praise: "If you want to be poor for thousands of miles, go to the next level, the ancients will not deceive me!" Li Fang also echoed on the side.

Xu Wei leaned on the railing and looked out, as if he was intoxicated by the great rivers and mountains...... No one knows, in fact, his heart is pounding, almost jumping out of his throat!

He'd been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and he'd been waiting for this chance to kill him since he had been silently teaching him two months ago. For this day, he didn't know how many times he had imagined the scene today. When there was no one around, I don't know how many times I rehearsed and how to deal with the emperor's next question...... Also, if the emperor didn't ask questions, how should he guide him?

Although he had practiced many times, he still couldn't help but panic when it came to the end, lest the extremely clever emperor see the clue and spoil the silent strategy, so he had to look into the distance, pretending to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart: "I don't know if I will despise me if I look like a wretch." ’

Fortunately, Emperor Jiajing still knew the situation in front of his door very well, and his eyes swept over the buildings on West Chang'an Street, Yan Mansion, King Jing's Mansion, and ...... 'Woo', the Emperor couldn't help but sigh lightly, and his eyes fell on a mansion adjacent to King Jing's Mansion...... To be precise, it is a mansion that is two-thirds completed, but just looking at the completed part, it is already red walls and green tiles, painted and carved beams. The palace tower, resplendent and splendid, high and low staggered, magnificent and majestic, as if the fairyland of the world, I really don't know what it will be like after completion.

But Emperor Jiajing's face did not show half of the color of appreciation, but showed a kind of iron-blue color with frost. I saw that his long and narrow eyes radiated a cold light, staring at the busy craftsmen in the house like ants. I only heard him ask Xu Wei in a voice that seemed to come from the Nine Shadows Mansion, "Do you know whose house it is?" ”

Following the emperor's gaze, Xu Wei saw that it was the one that Shen Mo pointed out to him, and he couldn't help but shudder twice in his heart, one for Emperor Jiajing's terrifying appearance now, and the other for the silent and vicious eyes, as well as the understanding of the emperor's deep bone marrow!

"You know what?" The Emperor asked again.

Xu Wei was excited, barely calmed down, and said in a changed voice: "That must be the ...... of the palace" These six words are a sentence that Xu Wei has repeatedly scrutinized.

Although unpretentious, it is as deadly as a poisoned dagger!

Sure enough, hearing this, a trace of killing intent flashed on Emperor Jiajing's face, and he looked back at his Yuxi Palace, Wansheng Palace, and Wanshou Palace, which were still in ruins, without any improvement, and a toxin called rage invaded the whole body in an instant, and he could no longer care about the majesty of the emperor, and a string of Anlu local words gushed out.

Li Fang is an old man in his palace, so he can naturally understand that the emperor is greeting someone's immediate family members with the female surname in many ways. couldn't help but wipe his sweat secretly, looked at Xu Wei with a blank face, and said in his heart: 'Fortunately, he doesn't understand. ’

In fact, Xu Wei is a language genius, and there is nothing he doesn't understand about the southern and northern tones, but he is afraid of being killed by the emperor who has come slowly, so he can only pretend that he doesn't understand.

This is the time to test character, if Chen Hong is here, he will definitely find a way to help that person get through, at least he will notify him, so that those people can deal with it as soon as possible, and the result may be much better.

But I am with the emperor today...... Needless to say, Xu Wei, the initiator, Li Fang is with Yan Song and the one who has no grievances, but he hates Chen Hong who covets his position! Of course, I was happy to see that their group was unlucky, so they closed their mouths tightly and watched the excitement in a muffled voice.

After venting for a while, Jiajing stared at the building complex and said to Xu Wei in official words: "You are wrong, that is not the palace!" After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and went downstairs, and halfway through he threw down a sentence: "Let Lu Bing come to see me immediately!" ”

Xu Wei's entire mission is to let the emperor see that the mansion is even more luxurious than the West Garden, and then say those six words, which can be regarded as a complete completion of the task. The rest was to pretend to be innocent and confused, and looked at Li Fang with straight eyes and said, "Grandpa Li, what's wrong?" ”

Li Fang sighed, and said with 'schadenfreude' clearly written on her face: "There is a good show to watch now." Then he followed the emperor downstairs.

As soon as he went, two purple-clothed eunuchs came up and asked, "Old Ancestor, what's wrong with Your Majesty?" ”

These two people were Chen Hong's eyeliner by the emperor's side, and when he was not by the emperor's side, these two eunuchs reported the news.

Li Fang snorted in her nostrils, ignored them, and walked away first.

The two eunuchs asked Xu Wei again, Xu Wei learned to be silent, shrugged his shoulders, reached out and said, "You ask me, who do I ask?" I'm still wondering. ”

The two were confused, but there were only three people on the tower, so they couldn't ask the emperor, right? I had to stop asking sullenly, praying that Li Fang had provoked the emperor.

Li Fang quickly sent his henchman eunuch to send out the edict and informed Lu Dudu of what had happened.

Lu Bing, who was sick in bed, rolled over and shouted, "Change clothes!" Zhu Qi and Zhu Ba, who were on duty, hurriedly came over to serve, and asked cautiously: "...... your old body?"

"Hehe, heart disease still needs heart medicine, I don't have any disease now." Lu Bing grinned, but secretly exclaimed in his heart: "My little junior brother is really a ghost, how can he anticipate things like a god?" ’

It turned out that when he just fell ill a few days ago, Shen Mo came to visit him, when he was in a period of extreme self-blame, extreme guilt, self-doubt, and self-denial, Shen Mo comforted him and said: "It's not your fault, senior brother, it was those people who killed Mr. Li." ”

Lu Bing sighed and said: "Senior brother doesn't know, I have done a lot of bad things with that Yan Song, and I have my share in framing Shoufu Xia Yan and the governor of the three sides, Zeng Miao." So I'm a grasshopper on a rope with him, and I'm going to have to finish with him if he's unlucky. He said with a depressed face: "This is also the reason why the Yan family's father and son treat me as nothing." ”

Shen Mo knew that if he could tell this matter, it meant that he had hated Yan Dang. nodded and said, "For the sake of a dying old man, it is really not worth taking everything from my senior brother." ”

"But I can't swallow this breath!" Lu Bing pounded on the edge of the bed and sighed mournfully.

At this time, he said silently: "Actually, killing a few of his godsons can make him miserable, but he can't fight with you, senior brother." ”

"Brother, you don't understand." Lu Bing said depressedly: "The common people feel that Jinyi Wei has no taboos, but that is in the locality. Born at the feet of this Son of Heaven, in Yanjing City, he can't act without permission...... Without His Majesty's order, I can make some small moves in private, but it is impossible to attack a first-class member in a grand manner. ”

"You can prepare early, and then be prepared." Said silently.

"When, when?" Lu Bing said bitterly: "After this battle, Yan Song's power has reached its peak, and only in the Year of the Monkey can Ma Yue have a chance?" ”

"No, it won't." Silent and categorical: "Your Majesty's surname you know better than me, and you should know that he is most disgusted with the dictatorship of his subordinates, and he has recently said that the Yan Party has carried away, and in the eyes of His Majesty, isn't it asking for hardship?" He smiled and said, "I don't believe that we bet that Your Majesty will definitely have a move to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys!" "There is a way that people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, of course he won't tell the truth to Lu Bing, isn't that giving people a handle?

After listening to Shen Mo's prepared rhetoric, Lu Bing was skeptical, but seeing his conclusive appearance, there was also an element of rushing to the doctor in it. After Shen Mo left, he ordered that the evidence of Zhao Wenhua and Yan Maoqing be collected in case of emergency.

I didn't expect it to come so quickly, Lu Bing rushed to the palace, while looking at Zhao Wenhua's black materials, and said in his heart that this guy would be more than enough to kill eight times.

When he arrived in the palace, Emperor Jiajing not only did not dissipate his anger, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, a feeling of being fooled, which made the emperor, who claimed to be extremely smart, have an urge to destroy everything. He asked Lu Bingdao with a gloomy face: "Whose house is in the east of the old four families?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it is the family of Zhao Wenhua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry." Lu Bing reported the name without hesitation and said: "Weichen just went there last month, so he won't be mistaken." ”

"What are you going to do?" Jiajing's two thick eyebrows trembled, obviously suppressing his anger...... He was most taboo about his cronies, and he had a close relationship with the courtiers, except, of course, the ministers who were silent twenty years later.

"Zhao Wenhua's newly built main house is completed, invite Weichen to go," Lu Bing had already thought of his rhetoric on the road, and he was naturally not in a hurry to answer, and his sentences were like knives: "Weichen didn't want to go, but after thinking about it, now that the country's money is tight, the city wall of the capital division and His Majesty's dormitory have not been repaired for a long time, why did the Ministry of Engineering, who is in charge of the project, build the building first?" I decided to talk about it. ”

Jiajing's face softened slightly, but he only dissipated his anger towards Lu Bing and asked, "What is the result?" ”

"The result was a big surprise," Lu Bing said with a surprised face: "This grandson repaired the family like a palace, not to mention anything else, the good Nanmu pillars alone used fifty, Weichen does not understand the market, but the Nanmu that can be used as a beam and pillar, 10,000 taels is enough to buy one, this is at least 500,000 taels, and you have to add freight...... As for other materials, they are also extremely luxurious......"

"Enough!" Jiajing kicked his beloved jade to smithereens, and said hysterically with his hands: "Why don't you report it?!" ”

"Your Majesty's forgiveness," Lu Bing said urgently: "He is a famous first-class official, so he naturally has to be cautious about this kind of person, and Weichen has secretly launched an investigation since then, hoping to report to His Majesty after having enough conclusive evidence." ”

"Do you have it now? Yes! Jiajing clenched his fists tightly, and the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, if Li Mo just made him feel insulted, now this Zhao Wenhua made the emperor feel completely deceived, damaged, and raped!

"Basically." took out a thick material from his arms, and presented it to Jiajing with both hands: "Most of the building materials of the Ministry of Industry have been used to repair Zhao Shangshu's house, so His Majesty's bedroom cannot be repaired." ”

With a 'snap', the black material in Lu Bing's hand fell, and Emperor Jiajing pointed to the door and said: "Go, arrest him for me, seal the door and raid the house, no one is allowed to enter......"

"Yes!" Lu Bing secretly excited.

"Also, the Ministry of Industry is also sealed!" Jiajing was angry and felt like he was about to explode...... This is directly related to the fact that he often takes Qiushi Pill, he is irritable and irritable, and his anger cannot be contained when he gets angry...... Just like Han Wu Tang Xian, I only heard him roar hoarsely: "Who dares to embezzle Lao Tzu's money? I want him to be finished for eight lifetimes! In fact, Zhao Wenhua's account was indeed repaid more than a hundred years later, and it was not until his great-grandson cried blood that the cabinet exempted this bad debt, of course, this is a later story.

Lu Bing received the holy decree, and went out of the West Garden with a high spirit, and went straight to Zhao Wenhua's house next door, saying in his heart that he still complained about His Majesty's anger? Is the emperor's house or a dilapidated building to be repaired? You're building a lavish courtyard next door to him? Isn't this a death rush?

A few steps out of the palace gate arrived at the door of Zhao Wenhua's house, and the heavily armed brocade guards had already surrounded Zhao's mansion, and it was difficult to fly, and they were confronting Zhao Wenhua's family...... Without the support of the boss, they would not dare to storm the mansion of a first-class official.

As soon as Lu Bing appeared, Zhu Shisan, who was in charge of the periphery, blew the horn, and the Jinyi guards pulled out the embroidered spring knife together, and hit the scabbard with the spine of the knife, making a neat clicking sound, which was synchronized with Lu Bing's horse's hooves, which was extremely shocking.

Lu Bing turned over and dismounted, took a scarlet cloak, revealing a python robe that represented the pinnacle of the people, holding the belt with one hand and pressing the handle of the knife with the other, surrounded by several Taibao, and strode to the door of the Zhao Mansion.

Coincidentally, at this time, Zhao Wenhua also got the news, and rushed from the Ministry of Industry in a sedan chair, and when he saw the menacing posture of Jinyiwei, he didn't think about the emperor at all, and just thought that Lu Bing was looking for himself to vent his personal anger.

Although he didn't dare to get out of the sedan chair, he didn't want to lose the scene, so he sat in the sedan chair, lifted the sedan curtain, and said angrily: "Lao Lu, I didn't kill your master, why did you bring someone to trouble me?" "How else to say that this guy is getting more and more brainless? Opening his mouth was an outrageously stupid, which made Lu Bing's face darken, and the back of the hand holding the handle of the knife burst into bruises.

Lu Bing's face sank like water, and he walked to Zhao Wenhua's sedan chair step by step, and the people behind him saw that every step he took, a deep footprint would be left on the stone floor, which was caused by the internal power being launched to the extreme.

Looking down at Zhao Wenhua, Lu Bing said coldly: "Come down!" ”

"It's not ......" was frightened by the way he wanted to eat people, Zhao Wenhua shrank in the sedan chair and shouted: "Get up the sedan chair and find my godfather to judge ......"

"Where to go!" I only heard Lu Bing's violent shout, reached out to his chest to untie the cloak, threw his hand out, and covered a few sedan chair men underneath, and he concentrated the qigong that had been transported to the peak on his arms, and used all his strength, one sedan arm in one hand, and actually lifted the sedan chair that needed to be carried by six people!

"Come down, you!" With another loud shout, the sedan chair was slammed to the ground, and it fell apart, Zhao Wenhua screamed and was thrown out of the sedan chair, and fell headfirst down in front of Lu Bing, knocking out four front teeth on the spot. The official hat also fell off, his cloak was scattered, his mouth was full of blood, and he looked miserable......
