Seeing that Jiajing took out all the military orders, he said silently, if you don't ask for it now, when will you mention it? Then he said: "Now the southeast is still in war, the sea is controlled by maritime merchants, the minister said big things, and it is a small matter to lose his head, but it is a big thing to miss His Majesty's state affairs." ”

"You don't dare to take it?" Jiajing asked with a frown.

"The minister really doesn't dare to take it," said silently and proudly, "unless Your Majesty agrees to the minister's three conditions." ”

"Speak." Emperor Jiajing nodded quietly.

"First, the minister should ask for a large army to be stationed in the territory." Shen said solemnly: "Although Suzhou is not near the sea, and there is Songjiang as a barrier, it is still within the reach of the Japanese forces, if there is no army in charge, I am afraid that the ministers will ...... The orders of the imperial court are not as good as the words of the leader of the Japanese robbers. He knew very well that Wang Zhi and others had corrupted coastal officials to the point of sensationalism, and if there was no military support, let alone the prefect, he would be elevated like a governor.

"Yes," Jiajing nodded, "You can ask Hu Zongxian for a troop and move to Suzhou." ”

"Second, the indicators given by His Majesty to the ministers, the ministers hope to also become the requirements for the evaluation of the officials."

This request is more interesting, Jiajing said with a smile: "Hu Zongxian is also the governor of Yingtian, he is your top boss, what else are you worried about?" ”

That guy doesn't keep his hand, who dares to trust it wholeheartedly? Shen Mo smiled bitterly in his heart, and said: "It's not that Hu Butang is asked to do anything, I just hope that he can give convenience to the minister." ”

"That's no problem," Jiajing nodded, "What about the third?" ”

"Third, the minister implores that the officials in the jurisdiction have the right to appoint and dismiss them." He said silently: "The minister does not want to abuse his power, but the opening of the port is difficult...... There are opponents from both the government and the opposition, especially those from the coastal tribes of Fujian and Zhejiang, who rely on smuggling to monopolize the profits of trade, and now that the state wants to withdraw the right to trade, it is conceivable that their future resistance will be fierce. If there is no temporary strong restraint, I am afraid that the officials under the minister will be co-opted and divided. Once the people's hearts are not aligned, they can only achieve nothing, please Your Majesty will learn from it. ”

Emperor Jiajing thought about it for a while, although he was very taboo about the dictatorship of his ministers, but in the eyes of the emperor, it was just a small place, and it was only a petty official of six or seven grades, no matter how he did it, he couldn't afford to make waves, so he finally nodded and agreed: "Your requirements, I fully meet you, what about my requirements?" ”

What else can silence say? had to swear in front of the emperor and took over the glorious and arduous task.

Emperor Jiajing Longyan Dayue, surnamed Suo, sent Shen Mo a few favors who didn't want money, and gave his father Shen He as the general sentence...... Take the money and don't work the kind that gives his mother five products too pleasant. and gave leave to marry, and his wife was sealed with five pleasant grades.

In fact, the edicts are all ordinary, but the leave to marry one, the Ming Dynasty has been established for one hundred and seventy years, this is the second time, which can be described as a grace of the world.

Shen Mo didn't feel anything, but when he went back to tell Ruohan, Xiao Nizi's face was flushed with excitement, she grabbed the corner of her clothes tightly, and boldly kissed him on the cheek, and ran into the back room like a rabbit, happy and couldn't help herself.

Seeing her so excited, Shen Mo smiled with relief, although the names of the two have been decided, but there is always such a procedure missing, so that the girl's family is not in decline, it is really not a son...... Although Ruohan didn't say anything, Shen Mo could still feel the entanglement in her heart from the faint sadness she inadvertently revealed.

But the caution of the court at the beginning of the court, and the treacherous court struggle, made him really unable to walk away. Shen Mo could only harden his heart, and he dragged on until now, and the guilt in his heart naturally increased. Now that the emperor has given a favor, it actually made Ruohan so happy, and it also made Shen Mo feel for the first time that this bastard emperor is still a little humane.

glared at the iron pillar who was stupidly playing at the door, and scolded with a silent smile: "I'll go home and get married, what are you happy with?" ”

"I'm homesick." Tie Zhu smiled: "It's great to be able to go home for the New Year." ”

"Yes...... "Shen Mo exhaled a long breath, "I miss my old man too." As he spoke, he said to Tiezhu: "Start packing your things and packing your bags, after I resign with my colleagues in the past two days, we have to hurry up and get on the road...... If it freezes again, you will be blind. "It was hard to travel by land when he came, and he didn't want to try again.

"Well, don't worry." Tie Zhu responded happily, and went out to gather his men to get busy.

At this time, Ruohan came out of it again, but her little face was still red, and she was too ashamed to look at him, and said, "I'll go and buy the gift with Rou Niang." ”

"You are in charge of these things," Shen Mo nodded and smiled: "By the way, what about this house?" Sold? Rent it out, or keep it. ”

"Don't sell it anymore." Ruohan was reluctant to sell it, this was the home of the two of them in Yanjing, and after thinking about it, he said: "But the house will be broken as soon as it is empty...... We don't have any money at all, so let's let our uncles move in, it's much better than the small yard they rented. ”

Shen Mo actually had this intention, but he had already said that he didn't care about the affairs at home, so he asked like this, and now when he saw Ruohan saying the same, he couldn't help but be happy: "I listen to you." ”

As soon as he decided to go home, Shen Mo returned to his heart, and he began to leave that afternoon, and he first went to the house of Li Ben, the nearest university scholar where he lived...... The two of them are fellow countrymen, and Li Ben is his deputy chief examiner, and he also helped him be promoted to Youzhongyun, so he is silent and shows others.

Li Ben was slapped hard by Yan Song, and the injury was not light, and since he thought about it behind closed doors, he began to be sick in bed, refusing to see guests...... In fact, he usually pretends to be high, but at this time, no one wants to come to the door, and the so-called closed-door thanksgiving is just a decent statement.

However, when he came to the door silently, Li Ben still had to see him, after all, although he didn't expect anything from him, his children and grandchildren would continue to enter the ranks, and he always had to leave a little opportunity for them.

So deliberately, the conversation between the two was really harmonious, picking up some hometown customs and anecdotes, and at the end, Li Bencai vaguely said that he was going to be a master soon, and asked him to take care of the family Yunyun.

Shen Mo naturally agreed, refused Li Ben's stay, and said goodbye.

After coming out of Li's house, he went to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion again, but at Lu Bing's house, he unexpectedly met his next visitor, Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet.

When he entered, Lu Bing sent Xu Jie out, and he was silently and hurriedly saluted the two, Xu Jie smiled at him gently: "I heard that Your Majesty gave you marriage leave, isn't it time to go on the road these days?" ”

"I'm here to say goodbye to the Governor," replied silently, "I plan to go to your house tomorrow." ”

Xu Jie smiled and said, "Come at noon, the old man will see you off." He also invited Lu Bingdao: "Taibao is free to come along, right?" ”

Lu Bing shook his head with a smile and said, "I want to go, but Ming'er is my errand." ”

"That's a shame." Xu Jie nodded at him and said in a deep voice, "Please." Under the escort of the two, he left the Lu Mansion.

Looking at the back of Xu Ge Lao's departure, Lu Bing said softly: "Do you know what he is doing here?" ”

"But for Yang Jisheng's business?" Shen Mo asked.

"Yes," Lu Bing nodded and said, "That man is his student......" Speaking of the head of the military department from the fifth grade, Lu Bing, the only member of the Ming Dynasty, was in awe, because he was really a man...... It can be said that the result of Li Benjingcha was overturned, half because of the fall of Zhao Wenhua, and the other half because of this Yang Jisheng.

He is a simple person, in the face of the perverse actions of the Yan Party, the turbidity is monstrous, he does not have so many ghost eyes in silence, but he has the courage that silence does not have, so he is full of grief and indignation, and uses his own blood to tone the ink, and impeach Yan Song with his own life:

'Yang Jisheng, the minister of the lonely and straight crime, please take the ten sins of Song as Your Majesty Chen Zhi! 'He wants to impeach Yan Song with death!'

It's not that he doesn't know the consequences of doing this, Shen Lian Yin Jian is not far away, and it's not that no one has persuaded him, his friend Wang Shizhen of the same year, saw the signs and advised him: 'Leave this useful body, immortal karma, and eventually do it in the deacon.' As a great talent who was not implicated in the fall of Li Mo, Wang Shizhen knew very well that doing so was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, so he persuaded him bitterly, hoping that Yang Jisheng would not come forward, so as not to sacrifice in vain.

But Yang Jisheng still wrote without hesitation, he turned his life into a roaring hot spear, and threw himself at Yan Song, who had the grace to promote him! Not for personal vendetta, only for public indignation!

Although Yan Song was impeached commonplace, in the face of the impeachment of this junior official from the fifth grade, he was still flustered, because the other party was the same as Shen Lian, and it was a dead impeachment!

The so-called death impeachment is to guarantee with one's own life, and every crime impeached is true.

In the eyes of many people, this kind of life-and-death method is not a deep hatred for killing one's father and wife, and it will never be used. So no matter what the final result is, it will be very damaging to the reputation of the person being attacked.

Sure enough, Emperor Jiajing transferred the chapter to Yan Song, and Yan Song was greatly shocked, and asked for retirement while folding his self-defense. Emperor Jiajing naturally would not let him retire, on the one hand, he issued an order to comfort, and on the other hand, he used the same crime as Shen Lian to send Yang Jisheng to prison.

But in any case, Yan Ge Lao was already disgraced because of Zhao Wenhua's affairs, and now he was teased by Yang Jisheng again, and he couldn't squeak anymore for a while, so he could only watch the emperor overturn Li Ben's list and make his efforts come to naught.

The hatred of the Yan family's father and son for Yang Jisheng can be imagined, Yan Shifan said angrily: "What did I say? You can't let that Shen Lian go, right? If you didn't kill him at the beginning, Yang Jisheng will appear now! In two days, there will be another Sun Jisheng and Li Jisheng...... Even if we are covered in iron, how many nails will we hit? ”

Yan Song nodded and admitted: "I am indeed soft-hearted towards Shen Lian in that matter. ”

"I'll send a letter to Yang Shun and ask him to find a chance to kill that scourge!" Yan Shifan's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he gritted his teeth and said: "And this Yang Jisheng, take him to the prison of the Criminal Department to be tortured and killed!" I'd like to see who dares to follow suit!! ”

In addition to Yan Dang, there is another person who is restless, that is, Xu Ge Lao who has always wanted to stay out of the matter...... Because Yang Jisheng is his student. We have repeatedly said that in the past two months, the relationship between teachers and students is a political father-son relationship, and Yang Jisheng wrote a book, although he did not know it, but he absolutely could not get out of the relationship.

But when he saw the full text of the recital, Xu Jie's breathe a sigh of relief, because Yang Jisheng scolded him together: "The scholar Xu Jiemeng is specially promoted by His Majesty, but he also violates everything, and he does not dare to be upright, and he must not be called a negative country." Whether it was a mistake, or pretending to be confused, they all cleared Xu Jie.

But in this way, Xu Jie can't stand by and watch...... Because in the eyes of others, Yang Jisheng's book must be his instruction from Xu Jie, and now that his disciple is in trouble, if he, as a teacher, doesn't squeak, he will really be regarded as a shrinking turtle with a wolf's heart and lungs, and he will be completely isolated.

So after the turmoil subsided, Xu Jie found Lu Bing and asked him to 'protect Yang Jisheng', if Li Mo had an accident, Xu Jie would not have looked for him at all, but at this time and that time, Xu Jie believed that Lu Bing would agree.

Lu Bing replied: "This person's affairs have been cleared to the sky, and I have no choice but to fight for the continued detention of the Beizhen Fusi." ”

Xu Jie said: "This is already very good. ”

While sipping steaming hot pot with Shen Moshabu, Lu Bing told him about Xu Jie's visit, and said solemnly at the end: "Actually, Xu Ge is old and doesn't come, and I will try my best to keep this person, because he is the first tough guy in the past." ”

"Why?" Silently take a thin piece of mutton cut with chopsticks, put it in a brass pot, take it out as soon as it turns brown, dip it in some sesame juice and send it to your mouth.

"When he first came in, I was sick and didn't know it. Soon after, an edict was issued, ordering him to have a hundred rods. Lu Bing said with a gesture: "If you hit the thick stick with a thick bowl, you can beat a strong man to death without forty rods." ”

"Although the little ones are unfair to me, and they don't really beat him hard, but a hundred rods are still a sturdy hundred rods, and they beat him to the point that his skin is broken and his tendons and bones are broken. Carried into prison, there is already half a life left. Lu Bing recalled: "It is said that someone really couldn't stand it, so he gave him a pair of snake gall bladders and told him: 'Use this thing to relieve pain.'" He said with a look of indignation, "Guess what he said?" ”

"How?"

"I have the courage to do this, I don't need this!" Lu Bing slapped the table and repeated excitedly.

"A real man!" Shen Mo praised.

"It's really amazing, it's still to come," Lu Bing said: "I only heard about him after dealing with Zhao Wenhua later, so I went to see him in the edict prison," said with a shocked face: "As a result, I saw a scene that I will never forget!" ”

"What?"

"As soon as I entered, he thought the guards were coming, so he said to me, 'It's too dark here, please light a lamp for me.'" Even though more than ten days have passed, Lu Bing still remembers it vividly: "I lit the lantern in my hand, and at the moment when the light shone into the dark corner, I saw him sitting on a pile of grass, with his head bowed, holding a broken bowl in his hand...... Scraping the flesh on the leg intently, it's already rotten! "With the medical conditions at the time, wound infection was inevitable, let alone in prison.

Shen Mo listened to it so that his hairs stood on end, and he didn't dare to look at the plates of brightly colored mutton on the table, and the food he ate in his stomach also began to churn, but he didn't stop Lu Bing from talking.

I only heard Lu Bing recall with admiration: "I was completely stunned, I usually boasted of being brave, but I didn't dare to think that I could do this...... You know, he didn't boil numbly, he didn't fix his legs, he didn't even have anything in his mouth, he just used a broken bowl to hang the carrion on both sides of his thighs...... The bowl is not sharp, and the carrion is not easy to cut, this pain is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, but he didn't say a word!! ”

"I can't stand it anymore, I've been doing this for decades, and I've tortured no less than a hundred prisoners with my own hands, and no matter how terrifying it is, I'm indifferent. But in front of him, I really felt the fear that went deep into the bone marrow. Lu Bing didn't feel ashamed at all and said: "My hands began to tremble, but he actually said to me: 'Please don't move, I can't see clearly.'" I quickly forced myself to steady, and saw that he had scraped the carrion clean, and Bai Sensen's bones were exposed, and the fascia attached to the bones was being amputated...... That one is also white, so it's not easy to see. ”

Shen Mo used great perseverance to hold back and not spit it out, and said without hiding his discomfort: "I thought that Guan Yunchang scraping bones to cure poison was made up, but now it seems that there is really a tough guy." ”

"Guan Gong is not as good as him." Lu Bing has become an admirer of Yang Jisheng, and said: "Second Master Guan still has to be accompanied by Ma Liang to play chess, and Hua Tuo's kind of miracle doctor is not a grade at all." ”

"And then?" Shen Mo asked, "Is he okay?" He felt like he was about to worship.

"I've already given him a cell in the house arrest of a high-ranking official." Lu Bingdao: "And let the best doctor treat him...... Don't worry, this kind of person is too yang, and the king of Hades won't accept it. ”

"Keep him." Shen Mo asked his senior brother for the first time: "Please be sure to keep him, keep him, it is my Ming righteousness!" ”

"I will," Lu Bing nodded: "If I can't even protect this kind of man, I will be in the oil pot after I die!" ”
