When Shen Mo returned to the cabinet, it was already dinner time, and he was planning to go to the cafeteria to eat, but Gao Gong's chief came to invite him, and Gao Ge invited him to eat

Silently nodded, and followed him to the high-arched straight house. In the high-arched straight house, there are many books and volumes, and there are all kinds of documents and archives piled up everywhere, and there is not even a place to plug in the foot, and no one is forbidden to clean up, because that will make him find it and not let go.

Normally, Gao Gong does not eat in the straight ping-pong room, but in order to talk to Shen Mo, he specially ordered someone to clean up the outer room, and then set up a sumptuous table...... Of course, as long as the Shoufu Chinese New Year's Eve people go down, the people below will do it properly.

Gao Gong personally welcomed Shen Mo into the courtyard, and the entourage brought water, and asked the two pavilion elders to wash their hands and faces, and at the same time, someone made a pot of tea and brought a few refreshments. The two of them sat down at the table to drink tea, and asked silently, "Just the two of us tonight?" ”

"It's easy to come back, I should have gathered," Gao Gong said: "But the Holy Sacrament is still sick, and it is really inappropriate for me to wait for the ministers Chinese New Year's Eve of the cabinet to feast and drink openly...... It's just a quick meal and a little bit of talking. ”

This morning, the cabinet sent an urgent note to all yamen in Beijing: first, during the emperor's illness, all yamen officials will be on duty at night in the yamen from today onwards and will not be allowed to go home; Second, from tomorrow, all the officials of the yamen, all the corners of Tsing Yi, will be brought into the yamen's office, stop feasting, drinking, marrying, and pray for the emperor for ten days: third, all officials shall not talk about the emperor's illness in vain, and violators will be severely punished; Fourth, all ministries and departments must not neglect their duties under the pretext of neglecting their duties, work diligently as in the past, and report all Chinese New Year's Eve matters decided by Yu to the cabinet, and it is forbidden to make decisions without authorization.

Gao Gong is reasonable, but everyone knows that this is just an excuse for him to exclude others.

"Jiangnan, don't you have anything to say to me if you haven't seen me for three years?" After a moment of silence, Gao Gong took the lead in speaking.

"Hmph, Li Yan's matter ......" Shen Mo said apologetically: "Please also ask Yuan Weng to forgive me." "Li Yan is the one who was beheaded as soon as Shen Mo arrived in Guangxi. Although the evidence is conclusive, and the matter is urgent, no one will come up with anything, but Li Yan is Gao Gong's protégé in the end, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog.

Gao Gong was naturally very unhappy, and the people around him felt that the surnamed Shen did not put Shoufu in his eyes and pouted Gao Gong all day, and wanted to teach him a lesson and let him know who was the old Chinese New Year's Eve!

As a result, they really found an opportunity...... After Yin Zhengmao obtained the head of Wei Yinbao, he roared and reported, but after the emperor made a sacrifice to the Taimiao, there was information that the head was fake, and the real Wei Yinbao was still active in Gutian! When Han Ji and Song heard this, they were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and urged Gao Gong to identify Yin Zhengmao, who had misreported the military situation, as a lie about the military situation, and also killed a subordinate who was lost and silent, and found the field back.

At that time, Gao Gong was really moved, and he felt that although the weight of the silent Chinese New Year's Eve was kind to me, I was the first assistant in the end. Between the two of us, we should respect me for a foot, I respect a foot, the same thing, I have to fall if I lose my face.

If it weren't for Shen Mo taking the responsibility for Yin Zhengmao, coupled with good luck, he quickly caught the real Wei Yinbao, and this matter would not have been so easy to pass. @本章节孤独手打@

"Hey, yes, that's wrong!" Gao Gong waved his hand and said hatefully: "This Li Yan, I thought he was just a little inferior in ability and not bad in character, but who knew that he was carrying the old man behind his back and did such a greasy thing." With a pinched face, he said: "Thanks to handing over to me the account book of his embezzlement of military salaries, I realized that I was almost deceived by the people around me...... Compared to the emperor's recovery, I will definitely put it on the table, thank you for helping me avoid a catastrophe. ”

"Yuan Weng is serious." Shen Mo shook his head and smiled.

"It's not heavy at all." Gao Gong said with a complicated face: "Don't look at the emperor, he usually doesn't care about political affairs, but he is deaf and clear." In the past few years, the power of Dongchang has recovered very quickly, and the news of hundreds of officials is specially monitored behind it, these hanging boot ghosts, all day and night, are like loaches and daggers, what can't be asked? A few days ago, several officials drank flower wine together, fighting for a prostitute on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the next day the emperor asked me about it, and I didn't know it. Feng Bao was erected, and every day there was a visit slip sent to the emperor on Chinese New Year's Eve. He looked at Shen Mo meaningfully and said: "Thanks to the opportunity to make a decision and understand the matter in Guangxi, if Li Yan is left in Beijing, the old man really doesn't know how to end." ”

"............" looked at Gao Gong silently, and said with a slight smile: "Yuan Weng is like this, I will be at ease." ”

As they spoke, there was a knock on the door outside, and the two of them stopped, arched high and said in a deep voice, "Come in." ”

The two attendants brought in a dining table and set up two rice porridge, pancakes, and a few dishes...... Gao Gong is a law of self-discipline, and when the Holy Bow is seriously ill, he can't refrain from feasting, and it is really just a simple meal.

Gao Gong glanced at the plate of sauce next to the pancakes and asked, "Where is this sauce?" ”

"Back to the master, this is the sauce in the imperial dining room, the famous golden hook bean paste." His entourage replied respectfully.

"If you don't eat this sauce, the taste is light and you can't get used to it. I'm still going to put a plate of wheat sauce from my hometown. With that, Gao Gong picked up the plate of golden hook watercress and was about to ask the cook to take it down, but suddenly put it down again, and smiled at Shen Mo, "Nankou is indifferent, maybe he likes to eat." ”

"I also like to have a little bit of a heavier taste." Shen Mo smiled and said, "Let's try the specialties of Yuan Weng's family." ”

"It's not a specialty, it's just food in the countryside." Gao Gong smiled, let people remove the sauce from the imperial dining room and replace it with Henan wheat sauce, the two of them ate a few pieces of pancakes, and another person drank a bowl of two-rice porridge. Gao Gong then said something else: "This afternoon, I called someone from the Tai Hospital............ Originally, the illness of the holy bow should not be known to the courtiers, but I am called an auxiliary minister, but in fact, the prime minister, must focus on the temple society, so the old man is impeached, and he has to ask to understand.

Shen Mo scooped a second bowl of two-rice porridge for Gao Gong, and served a bowl himself, and said casually: "How about the holy bow?" ”

"Imperial Doctor, the emperor has had a stroke." Gao Gong said in a deep voice.

"Stroke?" Shen Mo was a little skeptical, and said, "Why doesn't it look like it?" ”

"I think it's weird, too." Gao arch said: "Anyone who has a stroke on Chinese New Year's Eve is either paralyzed in bed, or." With unclear teeth, why is the emperor still running around and talking nonsense? He asked himself and replied: "Doctor, mine is the symptom of a general stroke, but the emperor's situation is not in line. He sighed lightly and repeated the diagnosis of the imperial doctor: "The emperor usually eats too many tonics, and the tonic is no exception, the more obvious the tonic effect, the more powerful the gunpowder." Now that it is summer, the evil fire is even more vigorous, and it has entered the heart from the surface to the inside, from the skin.

There is a way that the appearance is sore, and the heart is poison. Those who are poisoned by fire and poison are poisonous and stubborn, and those who enter the heart will have many delusions. The so-called wind is fire poison. Therefore, he asserted that the emperor's illness this time was really a sign of a stroke. ”

"I really don't want to hide it, the Taiyi's surname is Jin, and he is the head of the Tai Hospital, and he is also the chief in terms of medical skills. Listen to him tell the story, "The analysis is full of reason, and the old man can't help but believe it." Gao Gong twisted his beard with a heavy face, and said, "I asked him, according to what he saw, the emperor's illness is serious or not, and I asked what level it is heavy, and he replied, the disease of stroke" has been a Chinese New Year's Eve disease since ancient times, more complicated and difficult to treat than ordinary symptoms, if you want to stabilize the condition, the emphasis is on maintenance. ”

"Maintenance?" Shen Mo frowned and asked, "What kind of maintenance method?" ”

"The key is to reduce fire and evil", and the first one is to purify the heart and widow, and then supplemented by decoction, the emperor's illness can be cured. Gao Gong said slowly: "But when the Golden Courtyard was answering me, he was a little dodgy, so that people didn't know how much he was telling the truth." ”

Mo nodded his head and said, "Yuan Weng is very worried" I think that the Golden Court is worried a lot, I'm afraid it will be difficult to tell the truth. ”

"Peel off the past." Seeing that Shen Mo also agreed with his judgment, the melancholy on Gao Gong's face became even heavier. He knew too well what kind of recognition Long Qing was, and knew that the first thing the emperor couldn't do was that innocent and widowed. As the first assistant, "over the years, he has been conscientious and conscientious, solving problems for the emperor, and taking good measures for military and political Chinese New Year's Eve affairs, but he has never spoken casually about the emperor's life, nor does he support the rest of the Chinese New Year's Eve ministers...... He can talk about the affairs of the country for three days and three nights, but since he took over the country, he has blindly adopted an attitude of connivance and protection towards Longqing's greed for women, because only in this way can he, the head of the cabinet, be able to do the king's way, coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the hundred officials in the palm of his hand...... Now that the situation has changed abruptly, he suddenly realized how short-sighted his indulgence over the years was, not only harming the emperor, but also putting his own grass reform Chinese New Year's Eve in danger.

After a moment of silence, "Jiangnan" said in a loud voice: "I have known each other for many years, I have taken care of each other, promised each other the country with my body, and vowed to create a Chinese New Year's Eve together." In the past, I was persecuted by Xu Jie's old puppeteer, and it was the darkness that helped me to recover one day: four years ago, I was in the position of the first assistant, and it was Shen Jiangnan's Chinese New Year's Eve to give in, or it would not be my turn to be the country. I was also worried that I would be bound and unable to unfold the Chinese New Year's Eve plan, so I was willing to leave Beijing and go to the border for three years, all of which I know. As the old saying goes, the road knows the horsepower, and the people will see it for a long time. This is the real Chinese New Year's Eve Gong Wu si, dedicated to the country, just for this point, I Gao Gong has only one suit, word,. Now that the saint is hesitant and the temple is unstable, in this very period, I need this kind of friend who is not for utilitarianism, but only for the common people, honor and disgrace......"

With the high arch, he was moved, and tears appeared in the corners of his eyes. People's hearts are flesh and blood, listening to Gao Gong's sincere words, the silence was inevitably moved, and he sighed and said: "Yuan Weng can know that I believe me, and my hard work over the years has not been in vain......

"Who can I believe if I don't believe it?" Gao Gong smiled sadly and said: "The official position is far away from me, and he thinks about how to make fun of me and flatter me all day long." No matter how positive he is in front of me, it is just for the sake of promotion and fortune. It is true that people are "eunuchs like the market", once I fall like Xu Jie, they will definitely turn their guns and treat me like Xu Jie, and none of them will be consistent; The official position is close to me, and he thinks about how to take my position all day long, called the friend of gold and stone, but in fact he stabs me in the back. Gao Gong's old face was full of tiredness and said: "Yes, the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, except for Shen Jiangnan, I really don't know who else to trust." ”

"Yuan Weng is too discouraged." Shen Mowen explained in a wide voice: "Justice is in the hearts of the people, how has the change in these Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone sees it, I don't know how many people sincerely support Yuan Weng." ”

"Justice is at ease in people's hearts............" Gao Gong repeated, looking at Shen Mo and saying: "The surplus words will not disappear, I just ask, do you think the old man's qi has been exhausted?" ”

Silently glanced at Gao Gong, this seemingly rough, but actually meticulous Shoufu Chinese New Year's Eve person, has really felt the danger coming.

After thinking about it, under the gaze of Gao Gong, he said slowly: "In my opinion, Yuan Weng's qi is connected with Chinese New Year's Eve Ming's national fortune, Yuan Weng's qi is not exhausted, Chinese New Year's Eve Ming's national fortune will be saved, if Yuan Weng's qi is exhausted at this time, I think...... No one can save Chinese New Year's Eve anymore. “”

"Jiang Nan praised it." Gao Gong's eyes flashed with joy, but he still said with a tense face: "The old man is just a mere person, how much impact can he have on the fortunes of the country?" No, even if I'm finished, there is still Shen Jiangnan, I know that I have a warp and weft in my chest, and sooner or later I will this country. ”

"Who knows what will happen in the future." Shen Mo sighed in his heart, and it turned out that he still looked at Gao Gong. But he didn't panic at all, and said with a wry smile: "I know that if you are defeated, how can I still have a place in this court." ”

"Oh?" Gao Gong opened his squinted eyes and stared at Shen Mo tightly, wanting to see if he was telling the truth or a lie: "How do you say this?" ”

"Yuan Weng has been the first assistant and heavenly official for four years, and he feels that he is unprecedented, and his power is high and the country is suspicious." Shen Mo spread his hands and said, "But I don't want to think about me, a thirty-six-year-old Zhengyipin Chinese New Year's Eve bachelor, who has controlled Wen Shuai in two capitals and thirteen provinces, how much better is the situation?" ”

"Oh......" Gao Gong was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and said, "Hahaha...... Indeed, the two of us are lame chickens who met blind toads, a pair of difficult brothers. ”

, What a broken word......" Shen Mo smiled bitterly, and said: "Yes, the two of us are actually sharing glory and disgrace, the emperor needs one, he has to have another to check and balance, and if the emperor wants to drive one home, it will not be able to allow the other family to Chinese New Year's Eve alone." ”

Arching his jaw, he said: "Then what's so good" raised the teacup and said: "Replace wine with tea, let's be in the same boat through thick and thin!" ”

"Replace wine with tea, let's get through the hardships together!" Shen Mo raised his teacup and bumped it into him
