Just when the monarch and ministers were arguing about the assassination of Shousuke, a piece of news came that made everyone quiet, and Lord Shoufu woke up......

Whether it is the emperor or the hundred officials, they have to listen to the first assistant, this is a habit accumulated for many years, so everyone closed their mouths and waited to hear how he did However, before Shen Mo recovered his vitality and began to take measures for official business, a murderous news came from Suzhou, thousands of miles away, to assist Shen Ge's father, Mr. Shen He passed away......

It was really a bolt from the nose, and Shousuke-sama, who had just gotten up from the hospital bed, lay down again. What doesn't fit is that last time I was bedridden, most of them were pretending, but this time it's real.

In his life, Shen Lian died, Hu Zongxian died, Lin Run died... It all made him feel heartbroken and difficult to hold himself, but it wasn't until the moment when he heard his father's funeral that he really realized what it meant to be heartbreaking and painful. Over the years, after so many winds and waves, the first assistant of a country has fainted straight away.

The family was frightened and hurried to the front yard to ask Dr. Li.

After 14 years of writing, Li Shizhen finally finalized his compendium of materia medica and specially brought it to the capital to give Shen Mo a look, hoping to publish it in the official name. Who knew that he encountered the "Shoufu Assassination Case", and it was also with his help that Shen Mo concealed the eunuchs who came to visit.

Hearing Shen Mo fainting, Li Shizhen rushed over, only to see that his eyes were closed and his teeth were clenched, and his face was as white as paper!

Mrs. Yin, who has always been immobile in the eight winds, looked at Li Shizhen's eyes, and tears had flashed: "Mr. Li, save my master." "Don't rush!" Li Shizhen said in a deep voice: "Help him up." ”

Yongqing and Manqing hurriedly supported their father's waist and the back of his neck from both sides, and helped him up.

Looking at Li Shizhen's eyes, tears had flashed: "Imperial Doctor Li, save the prince 1"

Li Shizhen took out a cloth bag containing silver needles from the medicine box he carried, and said, "Fire!" ”

Rou Niang hurriedly picked up the candlestick from the coffee table and picked up the fire fold in one hand, but she couldn't shake it.

"I'll come." The third lady snatched the fire fold from Rou Niang's hand, pulled out the lid that she had not taken off, and shook it suddenly, lit the candle on the candlestick, and handed it to Li Shizhen.

Li Shizhen took out a silver needle and burned it on the candle flame, then took out a cotton ball stained with white medicine from the cloth bag, wiped the silver needle, and pierced it into the silent people. Then, he took out a roll of mugwort leaves, lit it on the candle flame, blew out the flame, and with one hand ripped open the placket of his silent clothes, and went to the xué in his chest.

The silent clenched teeth finally let go, and he spat out a mouthful of purple blood, which frightened the family again.

"Don't be afraid, the adult has been depressed for a long time, and he was injured in his chest a few days ago, I planned to wait for him to get better, and then slowly dispatch, but now under the sorrow, the bruises came out." Li Shizhen pulled out the silver needle inserted in the silent person and said, "I will prescribe a pair of medicines, let him take it for a few days, and it will be fine." ”

Yongqingxin put his father down, and then followed Li Shizhen out to grab medicine.

When the "master" saw her husband's face like gold paper and his eyes straight, Mrs. Yin was sad and cried.

Shen Mo heard the cry, looked at her and looked at her with sadness, but the first sentence was: "Don't cry, there are still days to cry" Although the grief is unbearable, he must now know how his father died! So as soon as he regained his senses, he asked, "Where is Chen Liu?" Chen Liu is his fourth Shi Wei Chief, and he is also the person who was sent back to Shaoxing to care for his father after the death of Zhang Juzheng's father (mother).

"Still kneeling outside......"

"Go out, all of you, and call him in." The silent voice was cold and unquestionable, the family had never heard it, and they didn't dare to disobey it, so they quickly called Chen Liu in and then all retreated.

Chen Liu's face was dusty, his face was full of guilt, and as soon as he entered the room, he knelt in front of the silent bed and kowtowed one after another, and his forehead was blurred with blood and flesh in a few clicks.

"Don't be in a hurry to self-harm," he looked at the top of the tent with silent eyes and said, "Tell me what happened first." ”

"Yes," Chen Liu said with tears in his eyes, talking about the day he would never remember for the rest of his life.

One by one, one

At that time, the news that Lord Shoufu was seriously injured was already known to the world, and from the capital of Tongyi to the border counties, a Dharma dojo was opened to pray for Lord Shoufu. Shaoxing, the silent hometown, is even more every household offering incense, every family burns incense, everyone prays sincerely, and the first assistant is guaranteed to save the day.

In this state of national prayer, the silent father, Shen He Shen, the old man, naturally can't be like a person who has nothing to do. Although over the years, he continued the strings and gave birth to a son. However, Xu Xian's wife has a large group of shameless maiden relatives, and the son of the later son can't write a book, so he learns to eat, drink and have fun, and is a second ancestor who is alive. This made the old man miss it even more, and brought him the eldest son who was infinitely honored for half his life.

Now listening to the silent wreck, the old man panicked, and in order to pray for his son, he used all kinds of tricks. Not only invited monks and Taoists to come to the house to practice, but also went to the temple everywhere to worship God, the view to worship the heavens, as long as he can eliminate the disaster for his son, he is tireless, not to mention the cost.

In this dangerous period, Chen Liu, as the leader of the guards, naturally refused to let the old lady run around, but the old lady was very reluctant and did not listen to persuasion at all. Chen Liu had no choice but to take care of it, lest something go wrong. However, the tragedy still occurred on this day, the Yuqing Palace in Xiaoshan held a prayer ceremony, and the old lady went to offer incense. While he was praying sincerely, among the group of Taoist priests who were chanting sutras, someone suddenly raised his short tong and shot at him, but everyone didn't react, and the old lady fell to the ground.

Panicked, Chen Liu leaned over to take a look, only to see that the old lady's head was full of blood, and he died on the spot As for the person who committed the assassination, he committed suicide by taking poison on the spot, leaving no evidence on his body, and he was undoubtedly a professional killer.

"I should go to hell!" After listening to Chen Liu's story, his silent nails pinched his palms and bleed, and he said with hatred in his eyes: "If you don't take revenge, you won't be a man!" ”

He ordered someone to find Yu Yin overnight, and Sen Ran ordered: "Check this for me, no matter who is involved, as long as he intervenes, he must pay the price of blood!" ”

"Yes" Yu Yin responded in a deep voice, and said with a murderous awe: "A tooth for a tooth, blood for blood!" ”

"Go ahead," nodded silently, giving such a bloody order for the first time in his life.

But no matter how loud these afterthoughts were, they couldn't save his father, and naturally they couldn't alleviate the pain in his heart, especially after realizing that his father had become a victim of his political enemies, he was even more deeply sorry and couldn't help himself.

In just one night, his hair, which was still black and shiny, turned gray.

It turns out that the white head in one night is really not a legend......

The next day, when the colleagues and relatives who rushed to the news came to condole, the Shen Mansion was already a plain, and the guest hall was temporarily installed as a mourning hall. Shen Mo wore a filial piety dress with a corner belt in Tsing Yi, and kept quiet in the study, not only rarely meeting with the hangers, but even seeing his family, and not eating a mouthful of food every day except drinking some water. This worried his wife, so he had to find Xu Wei to move the rescuers.

The relationship between Xu Wei and Shen Mo, there is no need to talk about empty words, he directly pushed open the door of the study and entered, and then closed it with his backhand, forbidding anyone to see the situation inside. After a while, there was a heart-rending howl from the outside, but they were not sure whose voice it was.

Shen Mo's mouth opened slightly, and he looked helplessly at Xu Wei, who was crying, and it took a long time to compare with his crying voice and gradually say: "Bong, it's my dead father." ”

"We are like brothers and sisters, and my father is my father. ，… Xu Wei was about to howl again.

"Don't cry!" Shen Mo said helplessly: "If you have anything to say."

"That's right." Xu Weimo took out the cigarette case, took out a cigarette, lit it, and said: "Man, you have to keep your grief in your heart, and you must not affect your judgment." He handed it to Shen Mo and said, "At this time, what is needed is this." "Silence is non-smoking. Habitually shook his head, but Xu Wei stuffed it directly into his mouth, he had to take a puff, there was no filter, only rough processed tobacco, the taste was not generally spicy. Choked him and coughed violently, but his heart seemed to be much more comfortable, he took a few more sips in succession, snot and tears all came down, but he also opened the conversation: "Actually, my father shouldn't have been robbed of this, because I was determined to take advantage of this injury to retreat." "Do a full set of dramas, silence can not be attacked today, tomorrow will be sparse resignation, that is Chiluoluo slapped the emperor's face.

"People can't be resurrected after death, everything has a fate" Xu Wei smoked a cigarette for Shen Mo, but he squatted on the Taishi chair and ate the cigarette pouch and pot: "It's useless to blame yourself, you should use the heads of those beasts to comfort the souls in the sky." 、，

silently snuffed out the cigarette roll that was still half left, and said fiercely: "Don't let go of any of them!" "Hmm" Xu Wei turned out to be a literati, and he didn't want to do more things that hurt heaven and peace, so he changed his words and said: "What should I do next?" ”

"What else, father (mother) mourned...... "Shen sighed silently.

"It's okay, I originally wanted to be a leader, but now I don't have to explain it to the people below." Xu Wei said: "But you have to put it away before leaving, otherwise they will be guilty." ”

"I can see it, too." The silent leader said: "Actually, it doesn't matter how I put it, because as soon as I leave, no one can suppress the emperor, and he will definitely overturn all my policies over the years, otherwise how can I eliminate my influence?" ”

"Just let him toss around?" Xu Wei said: "The cabinet, the six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the governors and governors of the provinces, there is no one who is not recommended, and among the officials, there is almost no one in the imperial history and the affairs who do not obey the command." These people can do something to prevent the emperor from messing around! "I'm no longer in command," Shen Mo shook his head and said, "Ah, I've been in the Guozi Prison for too long... The reason why the principal officials of the DPRK and China only look at me is probably because I sit in the position of the first assistant. As soon as I am gone, many people will be in their original form. The world is hot and cold, and the officialdom is even colder, and when they turn their faces and don't recognize people, they won't remember how much I gave them. "So discouraged, dare to retreat?" Xu Wei knocked the cigarette pouch pot and said in surprise.

"I don't care if people go to tea and cool, I'm too tired as an official, I have long wanted to travel under the forest and be an idle cloud and wild crane. What I care about is whether people will go into politics. Shen Mo said indifferently: "In the past, I had no confidence in Zhang Juzheng, if I didn't even leave for twenty-seven months, then the reform that could only be seen would be a failure." It's the same for me, if I leave and everything is overthrown, and no one defends it, then it's better for me to be foolish, or to stop. ”

"It is more likely that many people are not unintentional to resist, but unable to resist." Xu Wei sighed and said: "In front of the imperial power, even Shen Ge Lao has to retreat, so how can ordinary people rise up to resist?" ”

"I think the opposite." Shen Mo shook his head and said: "Only when people dare to fight can we talk about whether there is strength or not." He stood up and said with a deep gaze: "At least in our era, it is easy to be powerful, but it is difficult to have a heart!" "I understand what I want to do" Xu Wei thought of the Mingyi interview record that he silently asked him to write, and said with a shudder: "I don't have hope for Beijing at all, right?" "Yes!" There is no need to hide it from Xu Wei, and he nodded his head with a calm face.

"Know what that means?" Xu Wei knew the hole card of silence, and many people thought that if he left Beijing and no longer became an official, he would lose his power like Xu Jie. But in fact, what Shen Mo has been operating for the past twenty years is a force that is not attached to the imperial power, but after leaving Beijing, he will be even stronger. Xu Wei had no doubt that silence had the power to shake the foundation of this empire, but the traditional idea of great unification made it impossible for him not to call this kind of behavior a "chaotic minister and thief." Although if Shen Mo rebelled, he must be a hardcore, but the thought of the country falling into war and even a long time of separation, he was terrified.

"Peace of mind, I have worked so hard to not lose the flag of righteousness." Shen smiled silently: "Since it won't be now, then it won't be in the future, we will always represent justice!" ” @
