The atmosphere in the room was very weird, and the officials looked at Zhang Siwei with disdain, but Zhang Siwei closed his eyes, ready to spit on himself, as soon as he saw the concerto, he knew that it was over, and he couldn't figure it out anyway, how could his secret performance fall into the hands of Wei Xuezeng.

However, no one in the room took the case, and no one spat him. The reason is very simple, not because everyone has to take care of Shoufu's face, but Zhang Siwei can't be publicly blamed for doing this, because logically speaking, it is natural for a courtier to stand aside with the emperor.

But this doesn't mean that Zhang Siwei is more comfortable, because he is facing a speech official who takes scolding as his profession, and it is a group of speech officials, the so-called art industry has a specialty, and there is no one in this world who they can't scold!

I saw that the officials looked disdainful, and said one by one: "It turns out that all the ministers in the cabinet are all."

Minister, the first assistant is the minister! ”

"How can Motosuke do one thing in front of him and one thing behind his back?" "You are the first assistant, not the emperor's slave and maid......" These cold sarcasms came into Zhang Siwei's ears, just like cutting his heart with a knife, it was better to scold him comfortably, at least then, he could be angry and offset some of his shame. And now, he only felt ashamed, but he could not raise his anger, and finally under the disdainful gaze of everyone, his whole body was cold, his limbs were weak, and his eyes were dark, and he fainted.

If you faint, you don't have to suffer such humiliation again, right?

…… One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One ......, one ...... One............ One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... Mouth...... One...... After returning that day, Meng Xiang, Cai Yan and several other people wrote to impeach Zhang Siwei, some denounced him as a two-faced old slippery head, and some accused him of using the emperor as a guise to achieve his dictatorial goals, and some even used themselves to blackmail the emperor: "We ministers have learned the way of a gentleman, but Zhang Siwei is a believer in human beings as the first assistant." Since the emperor would rather trust him than believe us, then please remove us from office!" ”

was impeached, Zhang Siwei had to write a letter to defend himself and resign, yes, but how could Wanli agree? Because after several turmoil, the emperor has understood that the meaning of the existence of those speech officials is to scold people, scold one after another, and never stop. Now it's easy to find Zhang Siwei's shield, and if he lets him go after only a few days, he should be the one who suffers.

Therefore, the emperor made a sufficient gesture, on the one hand, he issued an order to comfort Zhang Siwei, and on the other hand, he ordered the cabinet to punish a few people who took the lead in impeachment. He also ordered the eunuch to visit Zhang's mansion, and brought ten tables of reward silk, 10,000 yuan of new banknotes, 20 catties of tribute rice, and 20 boxes of various snacks. Although there is no difference between rewarding people with treasure money and playing tricks, the courtesy is light and affectionate......

But Zhang Siwei's situation did not improve because of the emperor's resolute retention, although the ministers no longer wrote to impeach him, and it was impossible to knock on the door, but he preferred them to come to the door than to lie at home for six whole days like now, and none of them came to visit.

The word field is the most decent, and it is a human exchange for daily life. Sick at home like him, whether it was a real illness or a fake illness, colleagues and subordinates originally wanted to come to visit, but Zhang Siwei waited for no one to come to visit him, and even the people from the Jin Party did not come. This is no longer a matter of losing face, but announcing to the world that he, the first assistant, has been abandoned by hundreds of officials.

Qin Hui still has a few good friends, the dignified leader of the Jin Party, how can he not be mixed to the point of being alone, right? The reason why he committed one of the taboos of the bureaucracy was that a young official guarded the entrance of the alley of his house, blocked the people who came to visit, and threatened to beat anyone who dared to break in!

They also plastered shocking slogans in black and white in conspicuous places on the streets. "If no one knows, he will not do anything unless he has done it." , what "Qing Father is not dead, Lu is not over" what "there is mi in the mouth, there is a sword in the belly, and Shanxi baked cakes are two-faced. , This is not a text submitted to the imperial court, there is no need to be reasonable, just to vent, so whatever is ugly, write it up.

The family members of the Zhang Mansion wanted to rush out several times and fight those officials. was stopped by Zhang Siwei, although this can relieve the anger for a while, but it is enough to make himself infamous through the ages. But this kind of blow is unbearable for anyone, Zhang Siwei didn't eat tea and dinner for days, couldn't sleep at night, and finally really fell ill.........

One by one, one by one, the guests who finally came to visit the house, not because those officials outside had withdrawn, but because Jingcha was imminent, no one could afford to provoke this big man, the official of the Ministry of Shangshu Wang Chonggu! Mr. Wang may have been messing with the soldiers for a long time, and with a strong gangster spirit, he scolded the officials who blocked him: "Lao Tzu came to see his nephew, and they won't let me!" The young officials shrank back and moved out of the way.

Seeing his nephew in the bedroom, Wang Chonggu was taken aback, it was only a few days, in the past, he was proudly maintained, with fine skin and meat, Zhang Siwei, who did not show his age at all, his hair became gray, because of excessive emaciation, he also blamed the wrinkles on his face.

Seeing him like this, Wang Chonggu couldn't care less about getting angry, and said distressedly: "Why are you really sick?" "There is no disease on the body, heart disease" Zhang Siwei lay on the bed, and said with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth: "I have been healthy all my life, and I only know until now that heart disease can kill people." ”

"That's," Wang Chonggu sighed, "If your mind is too heavy, the damage will naturally be great." He looked at Zhang Siwei and said, "Now you know that this Shoufu is not a human being, right?" ”

"Hehe" Someone finally talked to him, Zhang Siwei felt much more comfortable, even though he knew that his uncle must have nothing good to say, he still smiled bitterly: "It's ironic, it took a lot of hard work to become the ...... of this first assistant"

"I remember that Shen Ge Lao once treated me with three ways to be the first assistant, one is to be a good courtier, one is to be a good chief, and the other is to be a muddy." Wang Chonggu twisted his beard and said: "These three ways can't be taken into account, and each Shoufu can only choose one." He has passed, the most suitable is to be with the mud, if you want to be a good chief, you will definitely have to break up with the emperor, but you can get a good reputation.

If you want to be a good courtier, you can only be a person inside and outside in the end, and you won't even be able to protect your reputation. "What kind of world is this?" Zhang Siwei heard this from his uncle, and he scoffed at it at the time, but now he was convinced that he had a look of chagrin on his face and said: "How can it be wrong to be a loyal minister? "Of course, it's not wrong to be a loyal minister, but the world has changed, and as a minister who reconciles yin and yang, he must also change with the trend." Wang Chonggu lowered his voice and said, "Now is not the time for Taizu to become an ancestor. Right and wrong are not decided by the emperor, but by us, the civil officials. Why don't you recognize this reality? ”

Zhang Siwei closed his eyes in pain and muttered, "What's the use of these now?" ”

"Alas" Wang Chong sighed and said: "Yes, the reaction of the hundred officials is too great, and the attack is too ruthless, leaving no room for anything." ”

"Does my uncle still think that everything happens naturally?" Zhang Siwei opened his eyes, and said with a strange smile on his face: "How did I leak my secret music for the emperor?" ”

"It is said that the emperor finished reading it and sandwiched it in a book, and as a result, the person who was the celebrant of ceremonies treated it as an ordinary official document and issued it to the cabinet, but it fell into the hands of Wei Xuezeng, who was on duty that day

"Hehe, the two hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, have you ever heard of such a thing?" Zhang Siwei sneered: "What does the celebrant do, how could he make such a low-level mistake? There is also this surging controversy, the officials blocking my door, there is no one behind this, I don't believe it. ”

"Yes......" Wang Chonggu said in surprise.

Siwei slowly led the way and said, "This is someone dealing with me." ”

"Who?" Wang Chonggu asked.

"Silence." Zhang Siwei gritted his teeth and burst out two words.

"Isn't he dead?" Wang Chonggu smiled dryly: "Ziwei, are you overthinking and conjecture?" ”

"Although his body is gone, his henchmen are still unharmed." Zhang Siwei would not tell Wang Chonggu that the reason for his insomnia was because he dreamed that the Shen family's father and son came to ask for his life as soon as he closed his eyes.

He said with a look of indignation: "They are taking revenge on me! They want me to die! Shen Zhuoyan is not dispersed, he is looking for me to take revenge! Tightly grasping Wang Chonggu's sleeve, he said a little nervously: "Uncle, this time the Beijing inspection is our last chance, and the emperor must also know, as long as we cooperate closely to sweep those backbone of the Shen Party out of the capital and replace them with our own people, I will have the possibility of making a comeback!" ”

"When is it, still care about these" Wang Chonggu felt that his nephew's spirit was a little wrong, what kind of situation was this, and thinking about his position as the first assistant, he pulled out his sleeves, Wang Chonggu said slowly: "A few of us discussed it, don't worry about anything, just recuperate, we will clean up the mess outside." ”

"Is this trying to empty me?" Zhang Siwei's eyes widened and said: "I have done so much for the Jin Party, you can't do this!" ”

"Look at the way it looks now, how do you still take on the heavy responsibility!" After all, Wang Chonggu was Qiu Ba's temper, he drank too much, and after that, he regretted it a little, sighed and said softly: "Take care of your body first, and don't worry about the outside affairs first." After finishing it, he ignored Zhang Siwei who was stunned and walked out of the inner room.

When he arrived outside, Wang Chonggu saw Zhang Siwei's sons Tai Zheng and Jia Zheng, standing there at a loss.

"Who treated your father?" Wang Chonggu sat down and asked.

"Imperial Doctor Chen from Tai Hospital." While serving tea to his uncle and grandfather, Tai Zheng said respectfully: "Father is not a serious illness, he is just worried about his illness, and he can recuperate for a period of time." ”

"Did you prescribe the medicine?" Wang Chongqi asked.

"It's opened, it's a medicine from the Tai Hospital, Qingxin Dan." Tai Zheng replied: "It is used to concentrate and nourish qi and consolidate the foundation and cultivate the yuan." ”

"Show me it." Wang Chonggu stretched out his hand.

Jia Zheng hurriedly went to get it, and after a while, he came back and presented a medicine box to Wang Chonggu.

Wang Chonggu opened the medicine box, only to see that there were sixteen or seventeen soybean-sized pills inside, he twisted one, observed it carefully, and put it in his mouth to taste, but did not find anything abnormal. But for the sake of prudence, he still put the medicine box in his sleeve and said, "I'll take it to someone to see, and if there is no problem, I will send it again." After a pause, he said, "Don't eat until then." ”

Tai Zheng and Jia Zheng didn't know what was going on, but seeing that their uncle and grandfather's face were solemn, they didn't dare to ask more, so they had to respond.

11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 A report generated by the intelligence system of the Connecting was sent to Shen Mo.

The reason why Shen Mo has been dormant is that he is waiting for this report. Although at the first time, Chen Liu, who was in charge of defending the old lady, went to Beijing to explain the situation, and Yu Yin's investigation conclusion also showed that it was an accident, but Shen Mo couldn't believe that Zhang Siwei trained those three-legged cat assassins and wanted to kill people under the noses of his hundred battle elites, and the probability of success was about zero.

The bigger suspicion is that these assassins were able to understand the rules of their father's activities, obviously not lurking in Shaoxing for a day or two, why didn't they have any news in advance? Could it be that their own intelligence system is all dry?

Of course, these can be prevaricated by accident and negligence, and professionals can always do it if they want to fool him. But Shen Mo can think about who can benefit from this in the way he is good at it? In addition to the emperor and Zhang Siwei on the surface, the biggest gainers are those backbones in the Shen party, including the big people in the court, and the big households in the southeast.

Because the so-called Shen Party, not the Zhejiang Party or the Southeast Gang, is because this group is all made up of his silent personal prestige and wrists, and once he withdraws his hand, it is inevitable that the tree will fall and scatter.

This group is too big, too strong, it already has its own mind, and anything that is not conducive to its development will be resisted by it.

So when Shen Mo and the emperor inevitably clashed, the people below actually instigated him to kill the king. After silently refusing to agree, and even having the idea of retreating, those people used the assassins to kill his father, leaving him with no way out, and there was nothing impossible but to lead them to the end.

And Shen Mo Ding went away worriedly, not to retreat, so he didn't lose to the emperor, and he could recover after three years, and the majesty of his banner did not fall. Although Wanli is definitely unwilling to be silent, these three years are enough for them to do a lot of things, so that he will definitely be able to recover.

Of course, all this is a corollary of a conspiracy theorist who is used to it, and he will not convict anyone based on conjecture alone, so he ordered the powerful Huilian Nose intelligence system to intervene in the investigation and give himself the truth!!
