Xia Mu saw that the emperor asked about the account book, and he still had some scruples in his heart, after all, this account book involved his own life, thinking about it, he was prostrate on the ground, and said cautiously: "The minister does have two accounts, and the minister hid them in his arms, and he didn't dare to leave for a moment, so he waited for His Majesty's holy reading." ”

"Bring it on!"

After a word, there was no sound behind the curtain, Huang Jin walked into the curtain carefully, and after a while, he saw the curtain lift, Huang Jin came out with a tray, walked in front of Xia Mu, and carefully reminded: "Xia Baihu must think clearly about his position, don't do anything that deviates from His Majesty!" ”

Xia Mu knew that this was Huang Jin's kind reminder to him, asking him to stand on the emperor's side, he was grateful, smiled at him, and took out a well-sealed oilcloth bag from the flying fish suit, and took out the same oilcloth bag from the other side of the inner lining.

Xia Mu looked at the things in his hand, and let out a long breath of turbidity, these two oil ladles were involved in the situation of the Ming Dynasty, and couldn't help but say generously: "For this thing, how many people have lost their lives, General Ouyang, the people of the southeast, and the brothers of Jinyiwei, but today the minister finally lived up to the general's trust, and presented the real military situation in the southeast to the inside of the Japanese slaves. ”

Huang Jin took the oil bag, slowly opened the oil cloth bag, and a blue-skinned booklet appeared in front of his eyes, and when he saw the record on it, even the steady Huang Jin couldn't help but snort softly, and his heart set off a storm.

Emperor Jiajing in the curtain couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Huang Jindu shake, and said in a deep voice: "Don't present it yet!" ”

Huang Jin gasped and put together the two account books in the two bags, but walked towards the curtain with heavy steps.

Xia Mu saw that the account book was presented, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, knocked his head on the ground, and said in a long voice: "Qi Xià, the little minister Jinyi Wei Baihu Xia Mu, present a copy of the account book obtained from Li Daxing's office in Zhejiang, and a copy of the account book obtained by the political envoy Zhao Wenhua, one of which is the account book of the Yan Party's communication with the Japanese slaves, and the other is the account book, as well as the entry of Zhao Wenhua and Luo Longwen secretly communicating with Hu Zongxian, the governor of the southeast, and privately embezzling military salaries. ”

The sandalwood in the hall was swirling, the needles could be heard, Huang Jin Xia Mu looked at Emperor Jiajing behind the curtain, Emperor Jiajing took the account book, did not open it, but looked at Xia Mu below, and asked sharply: "Zhejiang Inspector Li Daxing was killed, but what did you do?" ”

Xia Mu was stunned, his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly replied in a deep voice: "It is true that the minister did it, but the minister has a reason for it...... Li Daxing takes care of the account book more than his own life, and is Zhao Wenhua's henchman, once he finds that the account book is missing, he must destroy a piece of evidence, but also let Zhao Wenhua startle the snake, the minister considers that this account book involves the situation in a southeastern province, or even several southeastern provinces, once it is not handled well, it may make the southeast anti-Japanese situation, in a blink of an eye, fall into a point of no return, so Weichen is foolish, must fulfill the duty of Jinyiwei, for His Majesty Xià to get rid of Li Daxing's traitorous dog thing, take back the account book for His Majesty Xià to be the first to see. And His Majesty's thunder and rain dew, all have a king, whether to punish the ministers or kill the ministers, the ministers all admit it, the minister's move is not selfish, just for the turbulent situation in the southeast, so that the Ming Dynasty will not fall into party disputes, so that the ministers know that Jane is in the emperor's heart, but a qiē, all by His Majesty Xià Qiankun dictatorship! ”

Xia Mu maintained a fanatical face, and he was even more emotional, so that Huang Jin couldn't help but platter and praise when he saw it, his eyes lit up, and he secretly praised Xia Mu's fart skills! The first time I saw His Majesty, I made such a high-level sycophant.

Emperor Jiajing's frowning brows stretched slightly: "Li Daxing really deserves to die." ”

When Xia Mu heard that the big stone in his heart had fallen to the ground, he secretly shouted that it was dangerous, otherwise he would definitely fall into the unforgivable crime of strangling the ministers of the imperial court without permission!

"Ouyang Shen's father and son died in the war against the Japanese?" Emperor Jiajing's anger came up, and his voice became cold and hard: "A bunch of Dongyi clowns, if I really have no one in the Ming Dynasty, thousands of people in the Japanese slave area have disturbed the southeast coastal defense, and they have deceived me like a lost dog, where is the dignity of my Son of Heaven!" ”

Saying that, Jiajing looked down at Xia Mu, and couldn't help asking: "Xia Mu, you say, what is the reason for the delay in the destruction of the southeast Japanese slaves?" Where did my millions of annual salaries go? ”

Xia Mu couldn't answer, there were many reasons for the immortality of the southeast slaves, and they were complicated, and it was definitely not something he could explain clearly. Thinking about it, he bowed his head and replied, "The reason why His Majesty wants it is in that ledger." ”

Emperor Jiajing sneered, glanced at the account book on the side, but became embarrassed: "Xia Mu, as a student of Xu Jie, and a descendant of Xia Yan, you should hate Zhao Wenhua to the core, Li Dang, Xu Dang, which side are you...... Or are you both? ”

"There is no party or faction, only loyal to His Majesty!" Xia Mu's heart was shocked, party gangs have always been the emperor's most feared thing, but he really can't say it, although he is a student of Xu Jie, but that teacher doesn't love him at all, and Li Mo has nothing to do with him, but now he is helping Li Mo impeach the Yan Party, he can't say it clearly even if he has a hundred mouths, and because of his identity as Xu Jie's protégé, it is not difficult for the emperor to think that the Xu and Li parties have joined forces to attack and annihilate the Yan Party!

When Emperor Jiajing saw that Xia Mu didn't tell the truth, the anger in his heart did not disappear, and the words he said became more and more unpleasant: "You dog minion, do you really want to disappoint me!" Say, which side are you? ”

Emperor Jiajing's cold and emotionless questioning entangled Xia Mu's heart like a poisonous snake, and after a while, his forehead was drenched in cold sweat, and he knew in his heart that he had reached a life-and-death juncture, as long as he didn't like it a little, he might be sentenced to death.

Thinking that Xia Mu almost cried, he kowtowed, choked up again and again: "The minister is just a small hundred, no grade, insignificant, and has not joined any party, please Your Majesty." ”

In the end, Xia Mu's voice became deeper and lower, and he almost spit out word by word, and he was heartbroken: "The minister will never be separated from His Majesty, and he will never join any party, and the minister is only loyal to His Majesty!" ”

Huang Jin nodded and smiled on the side, it seems that this kid listened to his words, don't do anything that deviates from the emperor!

Emperor Jiajing seemed to be very satisfied with Xia Mu's answer, and said with a smile: "Is it the big man behind you, who teaches you that as long as you don't admit it, you can turn the danger into a disaster?" ”

"Majesty!" Xia Mu hurriedly shook his head: "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, please give the minister a death, the minister's heart, the sun and the moon can be learned!" ”

"And quibble." Emperor Jiajing said lightly: "The water in the party struggle is very deep, you don't tell the truth when you see me, I ask you for the last time, who are you down?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Xia Mu bit to death: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has trillions of people, all of them are your Majesty's children, and under the whole world, it is not the king's land." On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. All officials in the Ming Dynasty were people of His Majesty. ”

"That's nice." Emperor Jiajing's voice was somewhat relieved: "The Ming Dynasty is too big, there are too many officials, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, they always play tricks behind their backs, and they refuse to be with me, and they also gang up, eat in different pots, and live in separate families...... Let's talk about it, are you Xia Baihu holding Yulu in the hands of the surnamed Zhu? Or is it surnamed Li, surnamed Xu? ”

Xia Mu raised his head suddenly, only to see that his eyes were full of tears, and his voice trembled slightly: "Your Majesty——! The loyalty of the minister, only loyal to His Majesty, loyal to the Ming Dynasty! ”

Emperor Jiajing laughed loudly, and the sound of jade tapping came from behind the curtain.

Xia Mu hurriedly looked up when he heard the sound, and saw that next to the round pod of a bright yellow futon cushion behind the curtain, a rosewood shelf was erected, and a jade chime was placed on the shelf, and a pestle of the same color was obliquely inserted in it, and the crisp chime sound was heard from here.

Xia Mu wanted to look up again, but he hurriedly stopped when he saw this, and didn't dare to look up again, after all, according to the current courtesy of the monarch and ministers, the subordinates could not look at the emperor, otherwise it would be disrespectful.

Just as Xia Mu was pondering, he heard a clearer voice from behind the curtain: "Do you know what this account book means?" ”

"The minister is stupid." Xia Mu hurriedly lowered his head: "Maybe the consequence of this account book is that the minister died in the mediation of the party dispute, but for the sake of His Majesty, the minister is willing to do so." ”

"Hehe......" Emperor Jiajing laughed: "Sure enough, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and he has no worries about being energetic. ”

Xia Mu secretly exclaimed, and just breathed a sigh of relief, but listened to the emperor continue: "But you are too reckless and have not considered the problem thoroughly, have you ever thought about what will happen if this account book is taken away by the Li Party or the Xu Party?" Today I received an impeachment note, which was written by Zhao Zhenji, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Yang Bo impeached Yan Dang Qiu Luan, which must have been planned by his teacher Xu Jie, and Yang Yi's impeachment was also the target of Qiu Luan, then Yang Yi was Li Mo's fellow villager, so naturally Li Dang. Their impeachment of Qiu Luan was seen to be a struggle against the Yan Party, but I received an impeachment letter from Yan Song, a cabinet scholar, and the target was also Qiu Luan......"

Xia Mu was shocked, and the three parties impeached Qiu Luan at the same time, and it seemed that it would be difficult for Qiu Luan not to die.

Emperor Jiajing looked at Xia Mu, who was silent, and laughed: "This is the consequence, no matter what Qiu Luan is, in order to maintain the balance of the imperial court, Qiu Luan must die, but it is not Xu Jie, nor Li Mo, nor Yan Song, but I who made this result." I'll make them understand that! As for you...... No matter what your motive is for presenting this account book, you have already offended Xu, Li, and Yan in fact, so you are not afraid that they will give you small shoes to wear? ”

"Of course, the minister is afraid that his career will be interrupted, and he will even be imprisoned." Xia Mu said loudly: "But the minister is even more afraid that someone will take advantage of this to attack the monarch's father and make His Majesty make a choice as a last resort." In order to maintain the authority of the Lord, Weichen is not afraid even if he is broken! ”

"Hahaha......" Emperor Jiajing laughed loudly, and said with undisguised happiness in his voice, "I really didn't see the wrong person. As he spoke, he stretched out his thin, slender hand. Seeing this, Huang Jin on the side submitted the account book.

Jiajing held the account book in front of his eyes and reached out to flip it up.

At first glance, Emperor Jiajing's eyes became as cold and dull as a poisonous snake...... Although Emperor Jiajing lived in the deep palace for a long time and did not have contact with ministers, his grasp of the emperor's authority was tighter and firmer than that of the previous emperors, and his secret was nothing more than the control of personnel and financial power. So it's easy for him to look at the ledger. It was at first glance that he had an insight into what this ledger meant to him, the emperor, and to the Ming Dynasty! And with that comes boundless rage!
