The group arrived in Beijing before the city gate was closed, and everyone planned to find a place to drink and continue to talk at night, but seeing that Shen Mo was a little unrefreshed, knowing that he was a little sleepy, and Ming said that he would see His Majesty, so they dispelled the idea, entered the Zhengyang Gate, and went home.

Silently watching everyone scatter, taking a deep breath of dry air, he couldn't help but whisper: "Yanjing welcomes you." Then he turned around and entered the alley and walked to the innermost house...... This is still when he first came to Yanjing five years ago, Ruohan bought the house, as if he expected to come back one day, when they went south, Ruohan did not sell it, but gave Xu Wei a few of them to live in. Later, several people each took their families and naturally looked for another place to live. Xu Wei, who was left alone, thought that the big house was lonely, so he also moved out.

In the end, only a few people were left here to guard and clean the house. Later, I was afraid that they would slack off, so I asked the shopkeeper of the 'Huilian' to come and check from time to time.

With such a heart, the house is naturally kept clean as before, and you can live comfortably once you return to Beijing, saving the time of sending people under the fence and finding a house again.

Looking at the pair of big red lanterns with the word 'Shen' hanging in front of the door, Shen Mo felt a little like a world away, and couldn't help sighing, and said in his heart: "Now that I have returned to Beijing, I have to be a man with my tail between my legs." ’

Shen An, who came back one step earlier, greeted him and said, "Master, you came back so early, I thought it would be midnight." ”

Shen Mo smiled and said, "I'm not a night wanderer," he said, and asked, "Have they eaten?" ”

Shen An whispered: "I haven't eaten yet, Mrs. is training the two little sons, and I haven't taken care of eating yet." ”

"Oh......" Shen nodded silently, passed through the weeping flower door while speaking, and entered the inner courtyard, and saw Rou Niang holding the child, standing outside the main house and looking around, when she heard movement, she looked back, and quickly said softly: "Master, you go in and persuade it, my sister still doesn't let Aji and Shifen get up." ”

"You go and rest first." After making a silent teaser of the usual, he went into the main room, and saw two little ones kneeling on the mat, reciting the three-character scripture there dejectedly...... Ruohan is a mother after all, and she is reluctant to let such a small baby kneel on the hard stone floor, but this also makes the two babies who have been spoiled by the silent 'love education' feel extremely aggrieved.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, there was naturally a movement, and the two endorsed dolls turned their heads in unison, and when they saw that the father who was thinking about it was finally back, they bit their lower lip together and sobbed aggrievedly.

When he looked at it silently, his nose was sour, and he hurriedly scolded secretly: "It's not promising, you have to look like a strict father." He straightened his face and said, "Do you know it's wrong?" ”

8The two little dolls nodded like pounding garlic, and their pitiful appearance was so pitiful, and their silent hearts immediately softened, and they asked rigidly: "Tell me, what's wrong?" ”

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask." Aji Baba looked at Shen and said silently.

"Hmm......" Shen looked at his son in disbelief, and said in his heart that the little guy didn't take the wrong medicine, did he dare to say that about me?

Ruohan over there got up with a feather duster, glared at his eldest son and said, "You dare to say it again?" ”

The second son said very much: "Adults should not interject when they speak." ”

"Good boy, it's against the sky, I really think I don't dare to fight your mother!" Ruohan was so angry that he walked up to the two little ghosts and danced a few feather dusters, but he couldn't do anything, so he had to stuff it into her husband's hand and said: "If you don't raise it, it's your father's fault, you father, watch it." Then he huffed and turned his head away.

Shen Mo took the feather duster, looked at the two little ghosts, and said with a wry smile: "I said you two, it's too bold, why do you dare to say anything?" What can I do now? ”

Ajihe was very aggrieved, and cried with a handful of snot and tears: "Dad, Mom, you bully people, you confess and beat, and if you don't confess, you will be beaten, woo...... What do you want us to do? ”

"What's the bullying?" Shen Mo's mind turned a little tensile and asked.

"We were on the boat, asking random questions, which made my mother angry." Aggie sobbed, "So I said, don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked." ”

Shiyi also said: "I thought, it should be adults who speak, and children are not allowed to interject......"

Shen Mo was completely speechless, he estimated that such an old child would not have so many eyes, well, if there is, he can play Lao Tzu at the age of three, that is also a good thing.

In the end, he interceded silently, and Ruohan let the two little guys go and let them get up...... In fact, even if Shen Mo didn't say anything, Ruohan would let them get up, but in this way, the good guy let Shen Mo do it alone.

Seeing the two little guys hugging Shen Mo's thighs, hiding behind him and looking at himself timidly, Ruohan really couldn't cry or laugh, and glanced at Shen Mo fiercely and said: "It's like this every time, you pretend to be a good person, and I am a bad person." ”

Shen Mo smiled and said, "If there is anything, I will be angry for Mrs. now." As he spoke, he bent down, made a gesture on his son's little buttocks, and said viciously: "Do you dare?" ”

The two little dolls covered their buttocks together and said obediently: "Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare to die." ”

"If you can't die, do you dare?" Shen Mo smiled and scolded: "I really don't know if you don't understand or pretend to be confused here." As he spoke, he let go of the two little babies and said, "Let's go eat." ”

Ajihe hurriedly saluted his father and mother, and then ran away with a smoke.

"I've really grown up." Looking at their backs, he shook his head silently and said, "No wonder people say that the most unbelievable person is always their own children." ”

"It's a lot of crooked arguments about you." Ruohan's anger has not subsided: "What does a four-year-old child understand? It's not what you teach, it's what you teach? Take today's incident as an example, how dangerous it is, if it reaches the ears of someone who cares, what can our family do? She always heard people say how powerful Jinyiwei was in the capital, and it was said that the minister and his wife quarreled at night, and the emperor would know the next day.

"It's not that serious," Shen Mo smiled and hugged his wife's shoulder, and said, "Let's not say whether the rumors are true or not, even if Jinyiwei really has that ability, he won't use it on us." ”

"No matter if there is anything wrong this time," Ruohan said with a straight face: "There is a way to look old at the age of three, if you continue to be so aggressive, there will always be a day when you will suffer in the future." Saying that, he twisted silently and said: "How careful you are, how can you teach children to be so rough?" ”

Smiled silently, and said: "I'm already like this, there is no way, but I know that the most beautiful thing in this world is the starry sky above my head, and the innocence of children. ”

"I'll talk big things," Ruohan was amused by him, and said, "You always think twice before you act, don't you also do great things?" ”

"I'm not like them, I'm unique." Shen Mo said solemnly: "If they want to be unique, they can't follow the teachings of the common people. ”

"Full of crooked reasoning," Ruohan twisted him lightly and said, "You just get used to them, and when you enter Mongolia, Mr.'s board will have to beat them back." ”

"I won't let those nerds teach my son, if I teach them to be little nerds, who will accompany our two weird good sons." Said silently.

"Aren't you going to let them go to school?" Ruohan couldn't believe it.

"You still have to read books." Shen Mo pointed at himself and said, "I'm also a champion teacher, can't I teach my own children?" ”

"I don't care!" Ruohan almost went crazy and said: "Anyway, if you teach me two hooligans, I won't be finished with you in my life!" ”

"Okay, don't worry," Shen Mo said with a smile: "Tiger poison doesn't eat children, how can I harm my son?" Saying that, he half-pushed and half-hugged his wife and said, "Let's go, let's eat." ”

All the way, although it was only a boat, it was also very tiring to be silent and tired, and after a hasty meal at night, he fell asleep. He never moved when he slept, and he rarely snored, so noisy that Ruohan really couldn't sleep. I had to sit up and read a book while reading the chiming clock at the foot of the wall, waiting for a certain moment to come.

When he saw the shortest hour hand, pointing directly below the dial, Ruohan couldn't help but secretly loosen his mouth and began to tell him to get up, but he pushed several times, but no one woke up, and it was useless to lift the quilt. I saw that this guy was still asleep. Ruohan said, "Hey, Miss Su Xue, why are you here?" ”

This is really a medicine to get rid of the disease, a small sentence, but it made the sleeping silence, a spirit jumped up, looked around with wide eyes in a daze, and said nervously: "How is this good, how is this ......good?"

Ruohan was angry and laughed, threw his pants in front of him and said, "I kicked her out, master, you can save this heart." ”

Shen Mo also came to his senses at this time, and he didn't know what Ruohan was talking about, so he smiled while putting on his pants: "Look at you, you were naughty again early in the morning......"

"Who has the time to be naughty with you?" Ruohan stretched out an infinitely beautiful lazy waist, pointed to the bell and said: "There is still half an hour to go to the court, today is the first day after returning to Beijing, you can't be late." As he spoke, he pulled through his bed and fell asleep. If it were normal, she would definitely get up with her, and wait for Shen Mo to dress and eat, but she didn't sleep all night today, and she really didn't want to move because she ate the flying vinegar of the 'Su family'...... Anyway, Rou Niang must have gotten up.

Shen Mo knew that he was wrong, obediently dressed up, and tiptoed out of the room, sure enough, he saw that the food had been set on the table, Rou Niang was carefully ironing the official uniform for him with a big iron, and when he saw Shen Mo come out, he gave him a sweet smile and said, "Master, are you up?" ”

Shen Mo was suddenly in a good mood, nodded and said, "I don't sleep much, I usually didn't make trouble last night." ”

"The little guy is also tired, and he hasn't gotten up yet." Rou Niang smiled sweetly.

"I won't tell you more, I have to be early on the first day of the court today," Shen Mo nodded, then sat down and drank a bowl of bean juice, ate two fires, rinsed his mouth and got up and said, "Help me put on my official uniform." ”

Rou Niang nodded obediently, and walked over to dress for Shen Mo, but said strangely: "Master, why did you find this blue one to wear." ”

"Am I the governor now, I have changed to wash the horse," Shen Mo smiled faintly and said: "The horse wash is a five-grade official, wearing a crimson official robe, do you want people to laugh at it?" "In the Ming Dynasty, officials were not valued by grades, so the grades of officials were more confusing, for example, the governor may be directly promoted to the governor, from seven to at least four; Another example is the governor of the same province, when you are the one, you may be the title of the fourth rank of the imperial historian, and the predecessor may be the rank of the squire of the third grade, but the power is the same.

However, it is still very rare to be silent in this kind of degrading, except for the situation of making mistakes and being punished. I think that a few years ago, he had already put on a four-grade crimson cloud goose robe, but now he was about to be demoted to the five-grade indigo and white pheasant robe he wore when he left Beijing, and he fell from a high-ranking official to an intermediate level at once, and no one could stand it.

So he put away his red official uniform, changed it into the blue official uniform he used to say, and put on a sedan chair and came to the gate of Xiyuan Palace. It's summer, and the nights are very short, and although it's not yet midnight, it's already bright.

According to past experience, he should be the first one to come, because of the relationship between the upper and lower effects, the officials of the Ming Dynasty learned from their emperor and first assistant the problem of slackness.

But what surprised him today was that a group of officials had already gathered outside the Xiyuan Gate, and he was surprised at first, could it be that everyone had changed their surnames and were ready to work hard? But when he looked closely, it turned out to be a group of Hanlin ministers, and the blue official uniform of Qing Yishui, he knew that something must have happened.

Looking at the body, it was also a blue official uniform, and he laughed at himself: "It's really the right one." "If you were still wearing that big red official uniform and standing with a group of Smurfs, it would be a little more blinking.

After getting off the sedan chair and walking over, I saw clearly, it turned out that everyone was watching someone, Chinese the curious Tian's surname attacked, and silently squeezed in, and after a while, squeezed to the best viewing position - the second row, and regretted coming in when I looked inside...... I saw that the crowd surrounded the two men kneeling on the ground, although they couldn't see their faces, they listened to the persuasive words from the mouths of those onlookers and said: "Brother Fengzhou, hurry up, this won't solve the problem." "Linzhou, quickly persuade your brother, let's go back and think about it in the long run......"

Fengzhou is the leader of today's literary circle, Wang Shizhen; and Linzhou is his younger brother Wang Shimao.

Shen Mo suddenly understood what was happening, because yesterday on the way back, Xu Wei and the others focused on this matter...... If you want to say that the biggest earthquake in the imperial court this year is the arrest of Wang Chen.

Wang Chen, whose name is Minying, was born in the first family of Suzhou Mansion, Taicang Wang's ...... Although the Xu family is now prominent, it is not comparable to the aristocratic temperament cultivated by several generations of high-ranking officials of the Wang family.

Wang Chen's background is so prominent, and his own resume is also very dazzling, he has been a jinshi in Jiajing for 20 years, and he is only able to learn and be sensitive, which is important to the times. When he was the imperial historian, he impeached Song Xing, the eunuch of Dongchang, and his reputation was greatly enhanced; When patrolling Shuntian, build Jingguo, repair Tongzhou City, build Zhangjiawan two large and small forts, resist my response to the Kou, and make great contributions!

In the thirty-first year of Jiajing, he was governor of Shandong...... For an official who is not from a Kujishi background, it is a miracle that he can seal one side of the frontier within twelve years. In March, Zhejiang's Japanese invaders were in a hurry and served as the commander of military affairs, supervising Zhejiang and the four prefectures of Fu, Xing, Zhang, and Quan, among which Yu Dayou, Tang Kekuan, Lu Bo and other generals were all promoted by him.

The later story is well known, because of the need to comprehensively resist the Japanese, the governor of the six southeastern provinces was established, and Zhang Jing replaced him. Wang Chen returned to the court, into the right deputy capital of the imperial history, the governor of Datong, the right servant of the military department, on behalf of the governor of Jiliao, soon, into the right capital of the imperial history, become a dignified two-grade feudal territory, and Hu Zongxian a south and a north, and called the court pillar of the minister, reached the peak of the career.

Then there is a fall that is a hundred times faster than the rise - this spring, I will attack the Panjiakou Great Wall, west of the Luan River, Zunhua, Qian'an, Jizhou, and Yutian are in an emergency, Wang Chen is actively planning and preparing for the war, for an experienced veteran like him, this level of disturbance is not a problem at all.

However, something unacceptable happened, and the imperial court dismissed him from his post for interrogation on the vague charge of 'I answered and invaded Panjiakou', and brought him into Beijing by Jinyi Weisuo.

Then because the commander was arrested, the army was confused, and I answered that he really succeeded in entering the army and ransacked the west of the Luan River, which could have proved that the removal of Wang Chen was wrong, but under the reversal of black and white by some people, it became the evidence of Wang Chen's unfavorable defense and dereliction of duty! He actually asked the three divisions to interrogate and take his surname!

Wang Chen is really more wronged than Dou E, but whether it is him or other officials who know about it, they all know why they have fallen into this step. There are no more than two reasons, one is that he is Li Mo's remnant party and deserves to be liquidated. Second, his son Wang Shizhen did something that made the Yan family very angry - during the imprisonment of Yang Jisheng, who had admonished Yan Song, he went to visit him several times, and after Yang Jisheng was killed, he wore linen and filial piety to collect his body!

In the eyes of Yan Song's father and son, this is a naked challenge to their own authority, how can there be no reason not to kill? !
