Hearing someone whispering outside, Shen woke up from his contemplation, and he knew that it was those eunuchs who couldn't wait and were urging him.

Thinking of stepping out of this door, I have to take on the most thankless errand in the world, and I can't help but scream silently, this is really destined to be unable to escape, I knew this, it is better to go and join in the fun last night, so as to save the dilemma and difficult situation today.

But he was still optimistic after all, otherwise he would not have such an unattainable dream, patted his cheeks, told himself that the greater the crisis, the greater the opportunity, and opened the door of the side hall.

A few eunuchs who had been waiting outside for a long time rushed forward and said, "Lord Shen, it's not too early, it's time for us to go to prison." ”

Shen Mo had regained his composure, and said lightly: "Don't go to the edict." ”

"Ah...... How can you interrogate Qin prisoners if you don't go to the Imperial Prison? The chief eunuch of the Punishment Division said.

"The emperor's order is to check whether there is any instigation behind the scenes, and whether there is collusion among hundreds of officials." Shen Mo said slowly: "This official is foolish, if we ask Hai Rui's confession first, in case it leaks out and someone colludes with the confession, how can we investigate it?"

"How could anyone leak it?" The eunuchs laughed dryly: "There can't even fly a fly in the edict

Get out. ”

A hint of gloom flashed on his silent face and said, "Don't you have a special mission?" The eunuchs shook their heads awkwardly and smiled, but they could think with their toes that they must have a mission to spy on Shen Mu.

Fortunately, silence never makes people uncomfortable, and said with a smile: "You don't need to mind, you are also acting according to orders, and I will not embarrass you." ”

The eunuch smiled with emotion: "Thank you for your understanding, we only have eyes and ears, and everything is your old idea." ”

"We still have to work together." Shen Mo sighed lightly and said: "From ancient times to the present, no emperor has ever been involved in such a thing, the Son of Heaven is angry and bleeding for thousands of miles, we must work together inside and outside to do this job well and help the emperor get angry." ”

A few eunuchs felt reasonable, and they were still in the mentality of watching the play, but now they solemnly became solemn and said, "It's all up to the orders of the adults." ”

"You're welcome to do that." Standing silently on the stone steps, he ordered several big eunuchs: "Elder Xu Ge and the chief and deputy officials of the six departments and Jiuqing are all waiting in the duty room at the moment, let's go our separate ways and ask them to write a petal to explain their relationship with Hai Rui, when and where they have met Hai Rui, what they have said, and what they have done with him; Whether you know the content of Hai Rui's recital, if you know it, you can write it silently, and you can be exempted. After asking, you will classify the complaints, write those related to Hai Rui, and write those that are not related. Don't wronged a good person, and don't let go of a traitor. ”

A few people knew that this was a chore, but at this moment, how dare they complain, so they had to be obedient

Crashed.

When they arrived at the courtyard where the adults were confined, several people acted separately, and Shen Mo was also surnamed Wu

Accompanied by the eunuch, he came to the door of the single room at the east end.

knocked on the door gently, and Xu Jie's tired voice came from inside: "Please come in." The county eunuch stepped forward diligently, pushed open the door and asked for silence to enter.

When he entered, he saw that Xu Jie was not wearing an official hat and was sitting on the chair in the right position. Although he hadn't slept all night, Lao Shousuke's eyes were dark and he looked very tired, and he was not surprised at all when he saw Shen Mo come in, he nodded and slowly stood up.

Shen Mo is a messenger, and there are eunuchs on the side, so it is inconvenient to say anything, but he bowed deeply, cast a concerned look at the teacher, and said softly: "Yuanfu, the lower official was ordered to inquire about Hai Rui's case, and he was offended, please forgive Yuanfu,"

"It doesn't matter." Xu Jie's head said: "That is, the emperor's mission, please take a seat." ”

Shen Mo didn't dare to say anything, and finally sat down with Xu Jie, the Wu eunuch sat under Shen Mo, dragged a coffee table to himself, took out a set of pen and ink like a trick, spread out the file, and nodded towards Shen Mo.

Shen Mo and Xu Jie both looked indifferent, looked at each other for a moment, and then the former asked in a low voice; "The lower official began to ask questions for the emperor, please Yuanfu must answer truthfully."

"Definitely." Xu Jie nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "You ask." ”

"Last night, the first official was sparse, and then Hai Rui beat the drum, echoing back and forth, which is suspicious." The tone of silence gradually increased, and his demeanor only left solemnly: "May I ask Yuanfu, what is the connection between the two?" Did you know it beforehand? Eunuch Wu also quickly recorded it on the side, and the conversation between the two would inevitably give Jiajing a look.

"I don't know what the connection is." Xu Jie said slowly: "I only knew in advance that some officials privately contended, saying that they wanted to go to the Nine Secretaries of the Cabinet, thunder and rain, and they were all on top, and the officials had no right to interfere, and they could only enjoy their previous books and then make excuses, but I didn't expect them to think of going to the Cabinet on Chinese New Year's Eve, which is really strange." ”

"So, you know that the hundred officials will join you, but you don't know that they will launch last night?

asked in a deep voice.

"Yes." Xu Jie nodded.

"What about Hai Jui?" Shen Mo then asked, "Did you know that he would be in the book?" ”

"I don't know, even this name is the first time I've heard of it......" Xu Jie shook his head and said: "There are nearly a thousand Beijing officials above the fifth grade, and the old man can't know everyone."

"So, you don't know about him?" asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know." Xu Jie's heart was clear, knowing that Shen Mo was clearing his suspicions, so he said angrily with a very cooperative face: "If he knew earlier, how could he let him be rebellious?"

"How do you know he's committing a treason?" on the edge

Eunuch Wu, who was making a transcript, suddenly asked in a flashing daylight: "When did you see that transcript?"

"I haven't read it, but no matter what he writes, it is a big rebellion to make the emperor angry like that." Although they all said the same thing, the words used by the three of them were different, silently saying "Crazy Rebellion and Committing Crimes" was to imply that Xu Jie, the reason why Hai Rui was annoying Jiajing, but Eunuch Wu was replaced by "Conspiracy to Commit Rebellion", indicating that he believed that there was an ulterior conspiracy behind Hai Rui's writing, and Xu Jie did not accept Eunuch Wu's stubble, but instead used "Great Rebellion", which shows that he deeply hated this Hai Rui for disturbing the court, but resolutely did not want to have a mentality of rebellion because of this.

"I have a copy here," Shen Mo asked again, "Does your wife have a look?" ”

"If you say a great rebellion, it is a sin to be a courtier." Xu Jie shook his head and said, "Unless the emperor has a decree, the old man won't look at it." This is the attitude that a smart person should have, in fact, he regretted it when he watched it silently, and he really shouldn't have seen it.

But then again, as the chief judge, if you don't even know the content of the recital, how can you ask others. So I don't complain about anything else, I just complain that Jiajing can't think of him for good things, and when he encounters this kind of bullshit errand, he is the first to look for him.

The silent questioning never left whether Xu Jie's relationship with Hai Rui was related, Xu Jie's firm denial, the two asked and answered, but the intention was the same, they were trying their best to argue that Xu Jie, and the ministers of the court had nothing to do with Hai Rui, as for the superfluous words, they didn't dare to ask or say a word.

So soon there was nothing to ask, and he looked at Eunuch Wu silently and said, "Father-in-law has written it down?"

"It's all written down." Eunuch Wu said.

"What else do you think you want to add?" asked silently.

"Shousuke has made all the problems clear." Eunuch Wu smiled bitterly: "There is no point in asking again. ”

"Shall we get here?" Shen Mo asked for his opinion.

"Juan." Eunuch Wu put down his pen, carefully dried the transcript, and asked Xu Ge Lao to sign in the blank space.

Xu Jie signed and pressed his handprint again. Shen Mo hurriedly handed over his handkerchief, Xu Jie turned it over, wiped his red index finger, and said to the two: "This official also wrote a defense letter, and I bothered the two to present it to the emperor." As he spoke, he picked up an envelope from the table, Eunuch Wu took it with both hands, carefully put it in the box and said, "So, I'll take my leave." ”

Xu Jie got up to send him off, and said softly to Shen Mo: "This case has never been heard of, you have to be impartial, cautious and cautious, it doesn't matter if we are wronged here, the case must be investigated clearly, and the emperor's holy name must not be stained." ”

Shen Mo can understand the subtext, it is nothing more than a procrastination, but Xu Jie's purpose is to minimize all the influence, and he does not have his ambition.

Lowering his head with a heavy focus, Shen Mo and Eunuch Wu said goodbye to Xu Jie, gently closed the door, and walked to the next room

Go.

Late at night, the Western clock outside Shengshou Palace emits three sounds, "Bell Bell.......

In the inner dormitory, most of the lights were extinguished, and only a few permanent lamps were lit, illuminating the hall in dusk. Emperor Jiajing was lying on the dragon bed in vain, although it was time to Yin, but he still did not have a trace of sleep, the text was first issued: (3) 〓Z〓中〓文网, staring at the top of the tent with blank eyes, there were many faces, there were Yang Tinghe father and son, Yan Hao father and son, Xia Yan Zeng milling, and Qiu Luan Wang Barrier-...... But no matter who it is, it will eventually transform into an unfamiliar face, a Chinese face, with a hard facial line and a pair of eyes glowing with cold light...... This is what Jiajing saw on the portrait of Hai Rui from the archives of the officials.

But this portrait is like a real person, with a thick disdain on his face, which deeply stabs Emperor Jiajing's sensitive heart. No one had embarrassed him so much for decades. Those spicy and rude sentences are still secondary, the key is that the words and sentences reveal the hidden pain and bloodshed in his heart that he has not dared to touch for decades, and he can't avoid it, it is undeniable. Thinking back to national and family affairs, the more I think about it, the more discouraged I become, it turns out that everything is self-paralysis, it turns out that I am really indifferent, and it turns out that people in the world have long wanted me to be finished......

・The people of the world are not worth His Majesty's long-term life......

・The people of the world are not worth His Majesty's long-term ......,

The voice echoed in Jiajing's ears like a magic sound, his chest seemed to be stuffed with firewood and grass, and he was bored as if he was about to explode, and finally couldn't help it, and howled with his head in his hands: "Ah......"

"Your Majesty ......" There was a panic in the dormitory, and Ma Sen, who was on duty outside, hurriedly brought someone in with a lamp. I saw that the emperor was wearing a cloak and a haircut; $ Body sweat, body there convulsions that can't stop spasming, Sunlight weirdly stretched out his hand and pointed at Ma Sen and said, "Kill!" Kill! Kill!"

Ma Sen was frightened by the emperor's appearance, and stuttered: "Who is the master going to kill?" ”

"Hai Rui," Jiajing said nervously twitching, "and his comrades, kill them all, one."

None of them will be left!"

Earlier, the Criminal Division was not allowed to torture that Hai Rui, saying that he wanted to ask the same party, but now he didn't even ask, why did he want to kill him together with the party? Isn't that crazy? Ma Sen looked at Jiajing with straight eyes, and his words were not good: "Qi, Qi Gong, who are you going to arrest?" ”

Jiajing's eyes didn't roll, he just looked straight ahead, as if answering him, and as if he was talking to himself: "Who are you arresting?" Who to arrest? Then he remained motionless, his eyes were gray and dull, and he was panting except for his nostrils, no different from a dead man.

Ma Sen waited cautiously for a long time, but he didn't see Jiajing make a sound, and then he realized that the emperor was stunned, and hurriedly whispered: "Pass."

Taiyi ......

The imperial physician waited in Shengshou Palace day and night, and he arrived in a moment, led by the golden imperial physician who had saved the car back then...... Oh no, it's Kanain now. After all, he was a person who had gone through the wind and waves, and although there was a panic in the dormitory, he was still able to hold his head, took Jiajing's arm, and checked his pulse.

Seeing that someone was treating the emperor, the palace suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Jin Yuanzheng opened his eyes and took out a roll of moxibustion from the medicine box, and the imperial doctor on the side quickly took it, lit it by the brazier, and then carefully handed it to Jin Yuanzheng. Jinyuan is asking people to hold Jiajing, open the head on the top of his head, look at the Tianling acupoint, moxibustion and moxibustion, and take it back.

All eyes were on Jiajing's face.

A magical scene appeared, Jiajing's tick slowly opened, and he exhaled a mouthful of extremely heavy turbid breath from the depths of his abdomen, and seemed to sigh deeply. Then, his eyes slowly opened, and he gradually saw Jin Yuanzheng standing beside him, and his eyes were a little confused: "I, what's wrong with me?"

Jin Yuanzheng smiled and said: "The emperor was in a hurry for a while, and his blood was not smooth, and he has eased up

Finish.

Jiajing looked at him steadily, and suddenly said to everyone: "You all go out......"

Everyone rushed out, leaving only Jinyuan Zheng alone, sitting on the brocade pier next to the dragon's bed.

Jiajing said softly: "You are my savior, if it weren't for you and Imperial Doctor Cui, I wouldn't have been able to come back to Beijing that year." ”

Jin Yuanzheng said softly: "That's the emperor's blessing Qitian, the exciting ministers and Imperial Doctor Cui, but it's just a matter of following the sky." ”

"Go with the flow?" Jiajing heard his deeply-hidden voice, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, stretched out his thin hand, grabbed his hand tightly, and whispered: "You tell the truth, what is wrong with me?" Why did I faint three times and twice? ”

"This, the emperor has been lacking rest recently...... "Jin Yuan said in a little panic.

"Hugh is going to lie!" Jiajing roared and said, "My body knows by itself, whether it is big or not

The deadline is coming!!"

Under the emperor's contempt, Jin Yuan was sweating coldly on his forehead, and he wanted to lie, but he was like a fish

throat, I wanted to tell the truth, but I was so scared that I didn't say a word for a long time.

But this is more terrible than saying, Jiajing seems to have been drained of strength, his clenched hand is released, and his body lies weakly on the bed. muttered: "After all, I can't escape this day......"

Imperial Physician Jin was surprised, in his impression, the emperor was Cai Huangong, who was a doctor who avoided medical treatment, "never admitted that he was sick, and always said that he was passing, the hurdle of cultivation, and even taboo the word "death."

"Yao Shunyu soup, the king of civil and military affairs, and the prosperity of the saint have not been able to last for a long time. Below, I haven't seen Fang Waishi from the Han, Tang, and Song dynasties to the present day, and ...... "The text is first published: (3) 〓Z〓中〓文网, Jiajing closed his eyes, it was the sentence in Hai Rui's play, he didn't know when he had such an amazing memory, and he couldn't forget it after reading it once: "Even the two immortal masters I admire the most, Shao Yuanjie and Tao Zhongwen, haven't they also turned into dust?"

In fact, Cheng Xian was slim, his body was getting weaker and weaker, and he almost smelled the empty cold breath of disillusionment. He was afraid, anxious, and had nothing to do, so he had to deceive himself with the will of God, advocate auspicious rui to anesthetize himself, and deceive himself, but Hai Rui ruthlessly pointed out that these are all those small people who see the cheapness and are changing their ways to fool themselves.

A blunt recital, absolutely beyond imagination. Jiajing's last dream was punctured, although he was unwilling and difficult to accept, the emperor had to face the cruel reality.

After letting go of those unwarranted obsessions, Jiajing's mind became clearer, but at the same time, the pain in his body became more and more obvious, and he whispered: "How long can I live?" ”

Jin Yuanzheng's face turned pale in an instant, who dares to make such a statement, isn't that tired and crooked?

"Don't be afraid," Jiajing said lightly: "There are only the two of us here, as long as this word doesn't spread."

In the ears of the third man, I will not do anything to you. ”

Jin Yuan was wiping his sweat, and was about to make up a nonsense to deceive the emperor, but he heard Jiajing warn: "This is related to my life and death, the ancestors' country, you must not make a false report!"

"Yes......" [x" Jin Yuan was struggling to swallow L mouth spitting, [x" throat moved for a long time, [x" intermittently said: "[s" The emperor's body was not sick...... [w" is actually because of ...... [. "Recently, I have taken too many hot pills, and the evil fire in my body is too strong, and the evil fire in my body is too strong, and [E" has burned all my internal organs......" [T" said and shed tears: "If you continue to take the pill, I am afraid that you will not be able to last until the beginning of spring." ”

"What about stopping the pill?" Jiajing asked with wide eyes.

"Stop taking the pill and recuperate carefully," Imperial Doctor Jin said boldly: "Weichen can continue for Your Majesty."

Half a year. ”

"Half a year ......" Jiajing was a little disappointed, suddenly remembered something, and asked in a low voice: "Ruo Rang."

What about Li Shizhen? ”

"It should be able to grow longer...... "Jin Yuan Zheng also let go, and said in a low voice: "But the doctor is after all."

It can only heal the sick, not the ......"

"I don't like to hear you say that......" Jiajing was irritable for a while, waved his hand and said, "You go down."

Go ahead and remember not to ramble. ”

"The minister will never dare." The Golden Court is repeatedly reassuring and bowing down.

There was only Jiajing left in the main hall, he looked outside, the sky was getting brighter, but the emperor's mood was extremely discouraged, cultivation came, cultivation went, after all, he still couldn't escape this day?
