"It's a foolproof strategy to prepare with both hands," Xia Mu thought about changing from passive to active, and could only act like this, and continued, "Tan Lun is promoted to official documents, and the teacher will enter the cabinet and handle official documents tomorrow." But Hu Zongxian alone is tied to the safety of many officials, but he cannot be taken lightly. ”

"You can rest assured about this, I have my own opinions."

After some deliberation, late at night, Xia Mu said goodbye and went home.

As soon as Xia Mu walked on the front foot, Xu Fan stepped into the study on the back foot. Xu Jie leaned back on the bench a little tiredly, glanced at his son, and asked, "Is the matter done?" ”

"That's it." Xu Fan replied respectfully.

"People are placed in the Suzhou Guild Hall?"

"No, my father didn't instruct me, and no one in the guild hall dared to act recklessly."

"Prepare the sedan chair, I'll go over now."

"Father, it's getting dark at night, do you want to go back tomorrow?"

"At the moment, the road is sparsely populated, just traveling, besides, Xu Wei is a guest from afar, so we shouldn't be too cold. The big sedan chair will not sit, you go to prepare a female sedan chair, it is good to hide people's eyes, it is time to meet him, look at what kind of person Hu Zongxian's top military is who can pull the old man's students into this Tan backwater. ”

"Yes."

Xia Mu returned to the house, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw that Luo Ke was in the dust, gobbling up there.

"When did the enemy come back, and how did things go?" Xia Mu asked people to move a chair, and hurriedly sat down next to Luo Kedi and asked.

Luo Kedi swallowed the rice in his mouth, and hurriedly poured a mouthful of yellow soup, and then said: "Things are a little tricky, most of our brothers in Jinyiwei don't know Zhao Wenhua's whereabouts, and they are all treated as absconding, but the fans of Dongchang found Zhao Wenhua's corpse in the drunken leaf forest, and they are actually escorting the corpse on the way back to Beijing." ”

Xia Mu's eyelids sank when he heard this, and he didn't speak, anyway, Zhao Wenhua will die if he dies, and if he doesn't die, he will die, Yan Song will get his body back, what else do you want? Could he still be able to reverse the defeat?

Luo Kedi looked at Xia Mu, who didn't speak, thought for a moment, and said: "In addition to Hu Zongxian, who returned to Beijing this time, there is also Lord Yang Jisheng of Di Dao, that person scolded Yan Song enough along the way, saying that he would fight Yan Song to death when he returned to Beijing, he was really a tendon master." ”

Xia Mu smiled and didn't say anything, but took out a waist card and put it in Luo Ke's hand.

Luo Kedi looked at the black black iron waist card, which only had two big words "Fenwu" written on it, but it was the Fenwu Battalion Hou Arrow of the Twelfth Regiment Battalion, Yao, Lian, and the head of the four martial arts battalions.

"Defeat the enemy, you follow me all the way, how can I be rich and treat my brother badly, this is the token of the twelve regiments and battalions, you will be the head of the twelve regiments and battalions in the future, wait for a few days to open the barracks, we will go to live in the barracks, you and I brothers work together, get the twelve regiments and battalions together, and take them to the battlefield to kill the enemy and defend the country, and it is not in vain for you and me to be a seven-foot man!"

"Brother, to tell you the truth, I was actually satisfied with my brother, I never thought that I would be able to be a military marquis one day, and my subordinates were in charge of a battalion of tens of thousands of horses, I was afraid and happy in my heart, I was afraid that I would naturally not be able to be a marquis of this battalion and embarrass my brother."

"Do things with peace of mind, and be a man in your duty." Xia Mu smiled, "This is the ancestral precept that my uncle Xia Yan warned me to wait for the descendants of the Xia family, I have been reading and remembering, I dare not forget, and I will give it to you today, you kid must know that when you succeed, the scenery is infinite, but be prepared for danger in times of peace, and low-key is the king." ”

The next day was already three poles.

The incandescent sunlight shines on the glazed tiles of the Forbidden City, reflecting a lilac glow.

The festival has reached the beginning of midsummer and autumn, and the vast land is already steaming in the summer, but in the Qianqing Palace, it is still cool and breezy, refreshing and pleasant.

But compared to a few days ago, the Qianqing Palace has a new look, many furnishings have been updated, the most conspicuous is that the screens of the Daode Tianzun in the Xinuan Pavilion have all been removed, and they have been replaced with a few books. Moreover, most of the eunuchs and maids in the palace have also been replaced.

Huang Jin, the eunuch in charge of the Qianqing Palace, is now going to Fengxian Hall to temporarily manage the affairs, and Emperor Sejong's Yuxi Palace is placed there, and all the sacrifices are like rituals, and Huang Jin is in charge.

The old emperor ate the ninety-nine heavenly pills newly practiced by the Blue Dao Xingtian Master today, a red pill as big as an egg, and he can't chew it, otherwise the aura will be dispersed, and he can only swallow it directly, helplessly, the old emperor had to swallow it in one gulp, choking and rolling his eyes, Huang Jin on the side hurriedly took the emperor Shuishun, and hurriedly gave the emperor a smooth breath.

It took a lot of effort for the old emperor to catch his breath, so he choked to death, and complained: "This Lan Dao Xing, alchemy is not like his master Tao Zhongwen, it is smaller, it is always so big, I didn't become an immortal, but I was choked to death by him first!" ”

Huang Jin hurriedly smiled: "The saint is the true dragon son of heaven, naturally this Dan is different from the ordinary Dan." ”

"That's too." Emperor Jiajing smiled, turned his head and asked, "Yesterday, Chen Hong of Dongchang made an excerpt, saying that Zhao Wenhua's bullshit thing died in the southeast?" ”

"This ......" Huang Jin's eyes rolled, he couldn't understand the emperor's thoughts, he only accepted Yan Shifan's 30,000 taels of silver yesterday, and asked him to say that Zhao Wenhua was a martyr against the Japanese in front of the emperor, but who knows the emperor's thoughts?

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but say: "It seems to be an anti-Japanese ......"

"Huh?" When Emperor Jiajing heard this, his voice was dissatisfied, Huang Jin hurriedly swallowed the words in his mouth, only to hear Emperor Jiajing take out a fold, and said angrily, "What kind of disciple did he Zhao Wenhua resist, and Xia Mu handed over the fold yesterday, saying that Zhao Wenhua fled overseas and was killed on the spot by the 14th Jinyi Guard in the Southeast, otherwise that dog thing really ran away, and it was a shame that Yan Song still had the face to invite me here to give credit to his godson, and he wanted to deceive me and couldn't succeed, he really bullied me more and more, didn't he?" ”

Huang Jin was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground, his voice trembling: "The slave will never dare to deceive Your Majesty, the heart of the slave is definitely loyal to Your Majesty." ”

"You, you, took Yan Song's silver, didn't you help him do something?"

"This ......" Huang Jin didn't like blame when he heard Emperor Jiajing's tone, turned his worries into joy, and smiled, "Your Majesty, you also know that the imperial dining room has been spending a lot of money recently, and the servants have to take care of Your Majesty's food, and they have to take Li Mo to repair the Yuxi Palace, so they have to take this silver to make up for it." ”

"It seems that he Yan Song is really rich, and I am short of silver flowers, but there is no shortage of gold and silver in his Yan Ge's hometown."

When Huang Jin heard the emperor say this, he trembled, listening to the emperor's tone, he was afraid that Yan Song was not far from falling out of favor, and he couldn't help but feel panic in his heart, lest another situation of changing the dynasty was coming.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cabinet.

However, after obtaining Xia Mu's signature that day, Li Mo sent the copy of "Chen Hu Zong's Xianshu" to Emperor Sejong in the form of an official cabinet copy.

The next day, the eunuch sent a royal approval, only seven words: "I know, follow the ancestral system." The manuscript was left behind. The old system: After the emperor has seen the folds sent by the cabinet to the palace, he should send them back to the cabinet for drafting, and then the emperor will "approve Zhu" and promulgate them. However, the official cabinet copy jointly signed by the two ministers who were appointed by the emperor to investigate the case was left in the middle of the case and not issued, which cannot but be said to be an extremely serious political incident.

Immediately, all the ministers of the government and the ministers of all walks of life learned about the incident, and they all expressed strong dissatisfaction. Of course, the most dissatisfied is Li Mo himself.

It must be known that "Chen Hu Zongxian Shu" is the first step he carefully planned to expel Xu Jie and Yan Song, if it is a squib at the beginning, it will be even more difficult to move in the future. Therefore, as soon as he received the order, Li Mo wrote a book and made another mistake:

Chen Li Mo is hereby inscribed:

On the 10th of this month, the ministers and others first reported five urgent matters to investigate Hu Zongxian's case. Today, Fu Feng Yu approved "I know, follow the ancestral system". The ministers and others stole only Hu Zongxian's statement, and they were all criminalized in accordance with the Criminal Department. There are still program conditions in it, all of which are appropriate for the time and place, and must be explicitly approved and feasible for all yamen to follow.

The ministers have not been invoiced, that is, they have not been clearly allowed, and they are afraid of losing the hope of the people. With the ministers did not dare to send this to the department, they still used the seal to enter again. Looking forward to the emperor's inspection, send the ministers and other draft votes, and if the ministers make mistakes, they have their own opinions. The law of the ancestors, who can tolerate it. The ministers have no responsibility, and look up to it.

The next day, the palace finally sent Chahu Zongxian to the three divisions for trial and the presiding judge Li Mo's recital, asking the chapter to be returned to the cabinet to draft a vote.

Li Mo was greatly encouraged at this time, and the emperor's approval, which had been brewing for a long time in his heart, was also swept away: Lan Qing and others played more than the current politics, and they were loyal. All according to the agreement.

Almost on the same day, the emperor's "approval of Zhu" arrived in the cabinet, and there was not a word of revision of the proposed vote.

After receiving this holy decree, Li Mo's heart that had been hanging finally let go. He immediately reported the matter to the major yamen and mansions in Beijing to all the state capitals of the country, and at the same time, he instructed the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Ministry of Rites to send the official documents that they had written long ago to the palace.

The next day, that is, this morning, Li Mo went to work in a sedan chair, and as soon as he arrived at the duty room, the eunuch who sent the book sent the two copies to the cabinet to draft votes. Li Mo didn't let the eunuch leave, and in front of him, he drew up two tickets.

The proposed vote for the official copy of the Criminal Department is:

Recital. Hu Zongxian withheld military salaries for personal purposes, confusing the holy bow, and was heinous, and the three law divisions must be severely punished.

The proposed ticket for the official copy of the Ministry of Rites is:

Quasi-play. Our dynasty rules the world with filial piety and honesty, Hu Zongxian disregarded the grace of the saint and bullied the king, and deserved to be executed as the canon.

After drawing up the ticket, Li Mo looked at the few lines of wolf criticism under his hands, and was very satisfied.

Now he will hold the power of Hu Zongxian's case in his own hands, and when the time comes, he will not show mercy to the Yan Party and the Xu Party, and settle the old accounts together!

Thinking about it, he instructed the clerk to take five taels of silver and reward it to the eunuch who passed the decree, and instructed him to bring the two proposed tickets back to the palace with the copy and hand them over to the emperor to "approve Zhu". Then, he sent someone to call Zhao Zhenji, Li Chunfang and others to the meeting.

It was the scorching June, and there was no rain for a long time, and in the streets and alleys of Beijing, there was a hot wind that scorched people's skin, but there was no wind at all.

Zhao Zhenji sat in a small sedan chair carried by four people, facing the sun, and the sedan chair was as hot as a steamer. When they came to the six corridors inside the noon gate, they were all sweating. Wearing a four-grade summer cloth official uniform embroidered with a heron, sweat stains on the front chest and back. After each entered the duty room, they wiped their faces and shook their fans, the heat had not yet been exhausted, and after receiving Li Mo's instructions, they all followed the hall to the court room on the second floor of the cabinet.
