One. Mouth. State

Hearing Gao Gong's questioning, Zhang Juzheng hurriedly suppressed his laughter, hugged his fists and said, "Lord Wang, the department." In the next dagger of disarray,"

King Yu's temperament was very easy-going, and he shook his head and said, "It's okay, Master Zhang is at will." ”

Zhang Juzheng explained: "I remembered what I said before entering the door, Brother Jiangnan. ”

"What?" Everyone's eyes turned to Shen Mo, who smiled bitterly and spread his shoulders, meaning don't look at me, how do I know what I said.

Or Zhang Juzheng said: "Jiangnan said to me." Those who are now in a hurry to pick up stinky feet and make a fuss. It's because the agency is too clever to calculate, and it only misses Qingqing's future. ”

"Why?" Everyone looked at Shen Mo again.

Shen Mo smiled slightly: "Dare to ask all the adults." Your Majesty's words, can you see any edicts? ”

"Of course not," everyone shook their heads and said, "Unless Your Majesty has made up his mind to do so." before it is possible to send down the oracles. ”

"Is that unfounded?" Shen Mo smiled faintly and said: "Just relying on the air ** wind, I will rush to protect the heir, lest I lose my own support, it is inevitably too snobbish, right?" Will the emperor feel better? ”

The crowd was silent, and they knew it. Emperor Jiajing was an extremely intelligent and difficult to guess emperor. I can't expect him to dig out his heart with the ministers, and now I see so many people praising King Jing's stinky feet, and they are all looking forward to a generation of new people replacing the old ones, and I am afraid that it is really uncomfortable.

"What does the emperor mean by saying that?" Chen Yiqin was unconvinced and said: "You have no jokes, now that this word has spread out of the Forbidden Palace, there are not a few people who know, and it will not be to tease everyone." ”

"Of course it's not for fun." Shen Mo shook his head and smiled: "It's to test the attitude of the ministers." The emperor really wants to see the ministers come to the table one after another, but by no means to recommend the new monarch, but"

"But to persuade Your Majesty to dispel the idea" Zhang Juzheng continued: "Your Majesty is in full bloom, but because of the slight illness of the dragon's body, there may be one or two inner Zen hearts, but no matter whether the hundred officials support or oppose it, this idea will be quickly dispelled!" Who can't see that. And act rashly, and designate that there is no good fruit to eat. ”

In fact, in the final analysis, look at the Qin and Han dynasties to the present, except for Liu Taigong, who has never been an emperor at all, which emperor has not been neglected and died depressed? There is no father and son in the heavenly family, this sentence King Yu has the deepest experience, let me ask Jiajing to treat his son so harshly, how can he have the confidence that he will be filial to himself when he becomes the emperor's son?

With his own heart to save the heart of others, Jiajing will never let go of the authority in his hands, this reason is not difficult to figure out, but a big bark, a hundred barks, see someone on the book, the ministers are afraid of falling behind. It's not that everyone can't figure it out, but they are even more lucky, feeling that the law does not blame the public, and it is not white, which has caused today's situation.

But this also confirms that more than a year. How serious is the loss of Yuwang's popularity, the Qingliu officials who originally supported him are also because he has not been able to follow. And it is biased towards King Jing.

After listening to Zhang Juzheng's explanation, Yuwang's tightly knit brows finally relaxed, and asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

"Since it's all said, let's go to Ben." Chen Yiqin said: "They don't keep the emperor, let's stay." ”

"It's not right, it's not right." Gao Gong shook his head and said: "Our identity is special, if you rush to the book." It is inevitable that he will be considered selfish, and he is afraid that the emperor will not like it. Everyone thought that it was better not to act rashly at this time.

Listening to the discussions of the masters, and discussing them again, King Yu was a little depressed, looked at Shen Mo and said, "Master Shen, why don't you speak." What the hell should I do, give Lone an idea, right? ”

Gao Gong also said: "Yes, Jiangnan, among our people, you pay more attention, but you can't pretend to be dumb."

Shen Mo smiled and said: "No way, it is better for the prince to give birth to a son quickly." "Why is King Jing so uproar now? Isn't it bullying King Yu's queen?

King Yu said with a bitter face: "This kind of thing is not in a hurry, although Lone can already open the precept, but no matter how fast it is, it will have to be next year." Everyone also nodded and said: "Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and I don't dare to guarantee that it will be a prince of the world at that time."

"It's a moment to delay." Silently said: "Your Majesty's body is getting worse day by day. Even if you don't know how to concede, but the heir is imminent" paused: "Once King Jing takes the lead, then it's useless to say anything." "The matter is indeed urgent, if Yuwang loses. There will be no hope for the careers of the five people present. Instead of being wantonly humiliated by King Jing's people. It's better to go home and farm.

At this time, the atmosphere in the study became more and more solemn, and King Yu and his masters realized it. Before they knew it, they were already standing on the edge of a cliff. It's only half a step away from it.

"I see what you mean, time is really the most important thing for us," Gao Gong said, "but how do you win time?" Everyone's eyes looked at Shen Mo, wondering if Ji would come out.

"It is said that all great people are stars in the sky, and their birth must be accompanied by a different phase." Shen Mo said slowly: "If you don't have it when you are born, you will also have it before and after pregnancy, especially the emperor, no one is born ordinary." ”

The people here, including King Yu, are very knowledgeable, and naturally know that whether it is a sage or a prince in ancient times, "often the history books record the accompanying vision, or the purple and the east, or to "cut the world" such as the Taizu of this dynasty, when he was born. It is said that there was a red light outside his house, and the neighbors thought it was on fire. This was also the case when Confucius was born, and it is said that the local area is surrounded by auspicious clouds. A picture of Elysium, from which it can be seen that this must be the coming of a saint to the world; Zhuge Liang was even more divine when he was born, it is said that not only is there clouds and mist, but also fairy music is in the sky. In the distance, there is a flying dragon looming in the clouds, it must be a certain god descending to earth, which shows that the extraordinary life of these big people is predestined.

At this time, King Yu said with a bitter face: "When King Gu was born. But there was no vision, just so ordinary. "Meaning. It seems that I don't have the emperor's life anymore.

Several masters laughed when they heard this. Gao Gong smiled at King Yu and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured, as long as you really ascend to the Great Treasure in the future, you will definitely have a vision." ”

"But obviously there isn't." Yuwang didn't understand.

"Say it has it, it has, and if it doesn't, there is." Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "Lord Wang, isn't it just a matter of one sentence?" ”

Ah," Yuwang said in surprise: "It's made up! ”

"It's not made up, can it be true?" Gao Gong said with a smile: "Most of those extraordinary are fabricated by later generations, one is to show the sacred, and the other is to fool the people." ”

"It can't be said to be made up" At this time, Chen Yiqin had a different opinion, and said: "Looking through the history books, those who have visions are the emperors and generals." There are countless sages and sages, are they all made up? I think it's still true" Otherwise, I can't explain the great luck of these big people. Extraordinary. ”

The honest Yin Shizhan also said: "Yes, I also think, maybe some are chiseled, but there are still some things that are true, not to mention, just say that my fellow villager Jiguang, when he was born, he was also full of red light, clouds and clouds, and he can see it in ten miles and eight towns" Now it has been proved that he is indeed a famous general who is not born. ”

"Eighty percent was burning the clouds at that time, right?" Gao Gong disagreed, so the four of them divided into two sides and argued over the truth or falsehood of the vision.

King Yu hurriedly persuaded them and said to Shen Mo: "Master Shen, what do you think?" ”

"There may be" said silently, "It may not be," the hearts of the people said, isn't this nonsense? They all asked him, "Is there any of that?" ”

"No one dares to say this." Shen Mo smiled and said, "Because of this, we can do something"

"You mean?" Zhang Juzheng said in a deep voice: "Create a" vision? There was silence in the room. Chen Yiqin and Yin Shizhan said: "This person is too bold, and he is not afraid of revealing the news in case he gets out."

Yuwang's face changed and said, "The risk is too great, isn't it?" ”

"Don't worry, the prince" Everyone became nervous. Silent but said as if nothing happened: "This kind of thing is very risky, how many times have I done this since ancient times, and I haven't seen anyone smash it." Said with a smile and said: "As long as you are sharp with your hands and feet", you will be fine. ”

After speaking silently, the room was silent, King Yu looked at this, looked at that, and finally his eyes fell on Gao Gong and said, "Master Gao, what do you say?" ”

Gao Gong stroked his stiff beard and said: "I don't pay attention to it, and the hometown dialect has come out."

"It's too risky" Chen Yiqin said fearfully: "I won't stop you if you're crazy, but don't get involved with the prince." ”

"And what can you do?" Gao Gong looked at him and said: "People's hearts are like water, the ministers are getting closer and closer to King Jing's side, if they don't give them confidence, who will support us?" At this year's New Year's Day ceremony, you have all seen how the emperor treated King Jing's son, if it weren't for the topaz ruyi inexplicably broken, the overall situation would have been decided that day! ”

"Takabudo is right." Zhang Juzheng said: "That time was really God's favor. It was only then that we passed that level, but His Majesty's mind can be seen, and he is indeed biased towards King Jing. ”

"If we can make a good fortune. Be seamless, absolutely get twice the result with half the effort," seeing that Zhang Juzheng also supported, Gao Gong's spirit perked up and said: "It's worth taking this risk!" ”

Among the five people, three agreed at once, and King Yu looked at Yin Shizhan again and said, "Master Yin." What do you say? ”

Yin Shizhan is a real person, and said: "The lower officials don't approve, but they don't oppose it either" The reason for disapproval is that this is against the way of a gentleman; The reason for not objecting is to do something extraordinary in an extraordinary time. It was also a last resort. Said with a smile: "But no matter what, count me in, let's bear the problem together." ”

His words made Chen Yiqin so depressed, and he said, "What do you mean? Why is it about whether you are willing to take responsibility? ，

At this time, Gao Gong said unintentionally: "It doesn't matter if Lord Chen doesn't want to mix, but for the sake of the prince, keep it a secret for us." Chen Yiqin was so angry, and said in a muffled voice: "You are heroes, but I am a coward?" As he spoke, he slapped the table and said, "Ge Laozidi, just do it, who is afraid of whom?" ”

Shen Mo and Gao Gong glanced at each other casually, and they both saw a satisfied smile in each other's eyes

So the matter was settled, and everyone began to discuss the specific details, although Yu Wangye was not sure, his opinion has always been insignificant. Everything is based on the results of the negotiation with several teachers.

After two days, after nearly half a year of silence at home, he finally received a holy decree ordering him to take the left gold capital to make history

"Won't it?" Xu Wei, who had just returned to the city, said: "Is it possible that you want to lead three high-ranking officials in the ministry?"

"What nonsense, Shen Mo took the edict from his hand, put it in the box upright, then put it in a drawer, and locked it" Since he was dropped by this guy, he has been preventing fire and theft, and Xu Wei is afraid of causing any more trouble. After putting the things away, he continued: "You just came back and don't know, the cabinet explained the investigation of the three law divisions, saying that the court officials need to come forward before the trial. The investigation is one level lower than the trial, and there is no need for a court official to go out, and a subordinate official can fill the position. ”

"Who are the criminal departments and Dali Temple sending? Xu Wei asked.

Tu Li and Zhou Huai'an, the young secretary of Dali Temple, said silently: "It's not too easy to deal with."

"And what are you going to do?" Xu Wei asked again.

"It's not what I'm going to do, it's how the emperor is going to do it." He said silently: "Below the left capital of the Imperial Palace, there are also the right capital imperial history, the left deputy capital imperial history, and the right deputy capital imperial history, I am ranked fifth in the full calculation, and I use them instead of them, just to save worry." ”

"Then how do you satisfy the emperor?" Xu said: "Don't let yourself down yet? ”

"This time, I thought of going with Emperor Tu again." Shen Mo smiled and said: "If I am satisfied, the emperor will be satisfied." ”

The next day, Shen Mo was invited to go to the Criminal Department. Held a preparatory meeting with Tu Li and Zhou Huai'an, although his grade is lower than Tu Li's, and his qualifications are shallower than Zhou'an's, but the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, especially Tu Li's early understanding of his power, how dare he hold it up in front of him? politely invited him to sit in the signing room, served good tea, and greeted him very warmly, how low and low the posture was, "He is a kind person." Thinking that Shen Mo didn't care about his past suspicions and helped him and Zhou Yu say good things in front of the emperor and exempt them from punishment, he felt that he should treat Shen Mo like this. can make Zhou Huai on the side muttered in his heart. I don't know what kind of secret thing Shen Mo has, which makes Tu Shilang so jealous.

Less gossip and get straight to the point. Tu Li briefly opened it, and then said to Shen Mo and Zhou Huai'an: "This case has touched the emperor's heart, the reason why it came to us from the hands of the official is not that its importance is low, on the contrary, it is the emperor's cautious performance, we must grasp its proportions, not only to explain to the people of the world, but also to satisfy the emperor." ”

looked at Tu Li silently, and said in his heart that those who can do it to the deputy minister do have two brushes, and they can see things really clearly.

Zhou Huai'an was not very good, and said: "It's impossible to be satisfied, let's investigate the case impartially, just ask for a clear conscience." ”

Shen Mo and Tu Li looked at him sympathetically, and said in their hearts: "What benefit did Wan Cai give him to make him so desperate?" But anyone who has some brains should know that the emperor must not be satisfied with the initial investigation, so he changed people halfway through, warning them not to have some unrealistic illusions. Therefore, an old fritter like Tu Li immediately became vigilant, and let his boss coerce and lure, and he did not want to offend the emperor. He has been an official in the Jiajing Dynasty for nearly 30 years, how can he not know who is the master of his own destiny?

Then Shen Mo also expressed his attitude and said: "Lord Zhou is right, Yan Butang must have a problem." But I don't think the problem is too serious. What Master Tu said is even more right, what is the purpose of our investigation? It's nothing more than an explanation to everyone" Just when the two thought that he wanted to make peace with the mud, it meant that he didn't say anything, but they heard Shen Mo write lightly: "It's okay to explain the past, don't be too serious." ”

Tu Li smiled when he heard this, because he also felt that it was best not to offend anyone.

Zhou Huai'an was stunned, he originally thought. It should have been himself and Tu Li who targeted Shen Mo together, but who knew that it was the other way around, and he became the one who was squeezed.

"In this case, let's divide the labor and act separately." Tu Li said: "I'll check the accounts of the Ministry of Industry, and ask Lord Shen to investigate whether Yan Butang did anything out of the ordinary during the mourning period" As for Lord Zhou, please sit in the yamen and coordinate in the center. In a few words, he squeezed out Zhou Huai, who was not on the road.

They: Tu Liguan is the biggest, so he has to listen to him, Shen Mo naturally has no opinion, Zhou Huai'an has an opinion, but he doesn't dare to question Shangguan in person, so the three of them agreed to meet again in three days to summarize the case, and then they dispersed.

、、、、、、、、、

Three days passed quickly, and the three adults sat together again, affectionately saying hard work to each other, in fact, everyone knew very well that no one had done anything in the past few days. It's all boring, and I'm really tired.

But he still had to pretend, Tu Li asked, "Master Qi, how did you check over there?" ”

Shen Mo smiled and said, "It's basically no problem on my side." Yan Butang is indeed informal, but it is not as good as a beast, Yan Shifan, who is still very well-behaved during the mourning period, gave Mrs. Ouyang a filial piety period, and held a feast all day long, and used beautiful courtesans to win over the ministers, which was spread in the capital, so Shen Mo was talking nonsense with his eyes open.

But after listening to Tu Li's words, he knew that a mountain was even higher, and there were thicker skins."
