Passing through the Zichen Palace, Xia Mu looked at the place where he went not to the Qianqing Palace in the front hall, but the West Garden in the backyard, and couldn't help but ask Huang Jin: "Companion, the Holy One is no longer in the Qianqing Palace?" ”

Huang Jin smiled: "Today is Princess Ning'an's eighteenth birthday, and the saint is talking to the princess in Xiyuan. ”

"Princess Ning'an?" Xia Mu was taken aback, "Isn't Princess Ning'an already married?" ”

Huang Jin glanced at Xia Mu with doubts: "Don't talk nonsense, the princess is still waiting in the word pavilion, when will she get married?" ”

"Yes, yes, I'm confused." Xia Mu hurriedly changed his words, but he was shocked in his heart, this part of history must have changed because of his crossing, thinking that there are now some history that cannot correspond to later generations, but it is said that this Princess Ning'an is a fox, born charming, but she is a little arrogant and domineering, barbaric and capricious.

After a short time, Huang Jin changed his way and took Xia Mu to the Yuntai behind the Jianji Palace.

The cloud platform is built on a large pond, like a small hall with three wings, and the Qianqing Palace is only separated by a Qianqing gate. If there is anything important on weekdays, the emperor is also here to meet the ministers.

At this time, just after noon, Xia Mu saw three people sitting in the cloud platform from afar, the emperor Jiajing was sitting on the throne, Zhu Xizhong, the prince of Chengguo, was accompanied on the left side, Feng Bao was waiting to fight on the right side, and there was a graceful and dignified concubine next to Emperor Jiajing, I don't know which one, and the concubine was attached to a beautiful woman in her arms, this person was dressed differently from the princesses, the colorful embroidery was brilliant, like a fairy concubine, wearing a gold silk eight treasures beaded bun on her head, a pearl hairpin with five phoenixes hanging from the morning sun, a red gold plate and a red gold ring on her neck, and a bean green palace silk tied to the skirt. Shuangheng flounder rose, wearing a wisp of gold and a hundred butterflies wearing flowers and red satin, covered with colorful carved silk stone blue and silver mouse gown, under the jade flower crepe skirt, a pair of phoenix eyes are charming, two curved willow leaves hanging eyebrows, slender figure.

Xia Mu didn't have time to take a look, so he hurriedly walked up to the cloud platform, saluted the emperor, and saluted the concubine and Chengguo Gong, and finally looked up, only to see that Princess Nan Ning'an was looking at herself carefully, and hurriedly lowered her head.

Emperor Jiajing asked him to get up and speak, Xia Mu stood next to the big red sandalwood carving case on the side, only to see that there was a three-foot-high green bronze tripod on it, hanging to be leaked with the large painting of the ink dragon, on one side is Jin Yi, on the other side is the purple jade screen, two slips of four Nanmu chairs underground, and there is a couplet, which is an ebony joint card, inlaid with chiseled silver handwriting.

I can't help but be dark: this gimbal is extravagant.

At this time, Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, smiled at Xia Mu and took the lead in opening his mouth: "The case of Guangzhong's sealing of Sulou is beautiful, if it weren't for Guangzhong, I'm afraid I would be kept in the dark by that group of villains, so that I don't know that someone in the downstairs actually hides a Japanese slave, which is really ashamed of the emperor's grace." ”

"Where to get the words, Grandpa Guo laughed, the lower official crashed into Grandpa Guo's building, and the following offenses were committed, and he didn't ask Grandpa Guo to atone for his sins." Xia Mu hurriedly smiled, but he didn't know in his heart whether Zhu Xizhong's words were really grateful, or insinuations?

Emperor Jiajing took a sip of tea at this time, glanced at Xia Mu, and said with a smile: "Do you kid know that I want you to go to the third division for trial?" ”

"It's just in the cabinet, and Lord Li has already informed the ministers." Xia Mu hurriedly bowed and replied.

"It's good to know." Jiajing nodded with satisfaction, and asked again, "Then do you know why I want you to join the Third Division?" ”

"This?" Xia Mu couldn't guess the reason in his heart, if he was the emperor's eyes, wouldn't Zhu Xizhong of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies be just right, and why did he want him to enter the Third Division again?

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but glance at Zhu Xizhong vaguely, only to see Zhu Xizhong closed his eyes and was silent, his brows were furrowed, and he saw the emperor waiting, so he could only reply stubbornly: "Presumably, the saint is asking the ministers to stare at it, and look at it, to see if these three divisions are tired of interrogation?" ”

"Confused!" Jiajing smiled coldly: "Li Mo came up with the excerpt signed by you and asked the three divisions to interrogate Hu Zongxian, I will not send it, do you know the reason?" ”

"I don't know!"

"Then what kind of cat Li Heshan is playing, how can you not know? Playing with me? When I ordered you to assist him in investigating Hu Zongxian's case, he just asked you to sign his name and didn't let you participate in the investigation at all, how do you know what tricks he played? This time he asked the three divisions to interrogate, and the charges that should be convicted were all filled in by himself, and the implication was widespread, I didn't even know anything, and he asked Yang Bo and other military officials to participate in the trial of the three divisions, but I just drew you out of the circle assigned by me, but I wonder if there is any existence in Li Mo's eyes! ”

"I see!" Xia Mu couldn't help but feel sad for Li Mo after hearing this, it was such a small mistake, which actually caused him to deviate from the emperor, originally Li Mo did not let him participate in the trial of the three divisions, but it was also out of officialdom, he himself belonged to the Beizhen Fu Division, and was Zhu Xizhong's subordinate official, since Zhu Xizhong had been allowed to preside over the trial, how could he let another subordinate official enter the jury?

Originally, Li Mo was reasonable to do this, but this matter is two different things in the eyes of the emperor, the previous Li Mo investigated Hu Zongxian's case and did not let him participate, he was already selfish, annoyed the emperor, obviously took the emperor's words as a deaf ear, and now he excludes the emperor's people, who are you annoyed by the emperor Lao Tzu?

Xia Mu saw that this was the reason, and he couldn't cry or laugh, his eyes rolled, and he couldn't help but add to the fire: "Lord Li is busy with official business on weekdays, and he has learned about military aircraft, three provinces and six ministries, and how many local affairs, even the promotion of officials of the Manchu Dynasty, are all in Lord Li's reference, and it is reasonable to forget some trivial things." Xia Mu bit the little thing very hard, but it was not smooth in the emperor's ears.

"He treats the things I tell me as a trivial matter, is there any major thing in the world?"

"The saint is angry, presumably Master Li has a memory in his heart." Xia Mu added another fire.

"Remember? You don't have to talk to him. I know it in my heart! ”

Zhu Xizhong heard Xia Mu's words, and his heart was shocked, and he secretly said that the soft knife killed people without seeing blood, and in a few words, Li Mo's image in the emperor's heart collapsed, and he couldn't help but be impressed by this kid who had been around the emperor in just over a month.

At this time, Feng Bao sent this year's Jiangsu Di newspaper to Huang Jin, Huang Jin pointed his throat, read the note on the Di newspaper: Suzhou Prefecture Governor presents to heaven to listen: Suzhou Prefecture governs the southwest of Taihu Lake, there are many Japanese slaves, the lake is soaked in the mountains of Taihu Lake, the sky is sensitive, Taishan Mountain moves, at first it is still moving slowly, and gradually it is very urgent, looking at Taihu Lake. The villagers looked at it and shouted in shock: This mountain has become a spirit! Everyone who heard it was stunned. The mountain stops with the call, and it has been hundreds of feet away from the old site. ”

As soon as Huang Jin finished reading the tune, Emperor Jiajing was happy, and it was really funny: "The mountain will still run!" Heaven feels? This person is really talented in Suzhou, why don't you promote him by a liter? ”

Xia Mu was shocked when he heard this, this is worth it, and the casual nonsense he said was actually going to rise by one liter. He glanced at the newspaper in Feng Bao's hand, which was written half a month ago, and Luo Tongyun, the prefect of Suzhou, was a corrupt official like Li Daxing. I don't know how much silver he sent to Feng Bao, so that he could choose this among the hundreds of newspapers across the country and present it to the emperor.

Damn, a litter of snakes and rats, the victims of the capital can't pass this winter, and he is still running in Suzhou Wangshan, running his mother's legs, a group of corrupt officials.

Thinking about Xia Mu, he hurriedly said: "Shengshang, this mansion is very ominous, Suzhou prefect Luo Tongyun actually cursed Shengshang secretly, how can this be reasonable?" ”

When Emperor Jiajing heard this, the smile on his face faded, and his two eyes looked at Feng Bao gloomily.

Feng Bao was secretly uncomfortable, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, cold sweat on his forehead, shouting that he had been wronged, but his heart trembled with horror, and he didn't understand whether Xia Mu had a grudge against Luo Tongyun or a grudge against King Sulou Yu last time, and he deliberately made himself. At this moment, seeing that the emperor was angry, he was already helpless, and he only knew how to beg for mercy.

Emperor Jiajing ignored Feng Bao, and looked at the palace newspaper for no understanding, so where did this curse come from? Thinking about throwing it in front of Xia Mu, he said coldly: "If you can explain it clearly, I will not only forgive you for the crime of disrespect, but also reward you, but if you don't understand, don't put your head on your shoulder!" ”

Hearing Emperor Jiajing's words, Xia Mu hurriedly kowtowed to the ground and said: "The ministers dare not curse the emperor if they have ten thousand courages, your emperor, you listen to this newspaper: Suzhou Prefecture governs the southwest of Taihu Lake, there are many Japanese slaves, the lake water soaks the mountains of Taihu Lake, and the heavens feel that the Taishan Mountain moves east...... This blood stains the sky, it is very unknown, foreign captives invade the country, kill my people, the dignity of the Ming Kingdom and the dignity of the emperor are gone. And Taishan He Mountain, that is the foundation of the Nine Dragons leyline, the ancestral spirit of the dragon qi rising from the east, that Luo Tong Yundi newspaper said, Taishan East moves, or the heavens feel, doesn't it mean that the Ming dragon qi moves eastward, the national roots are unstable, or the actions of God, not to mention secretly ridiculing that the current emperor is not worthy of being the emperor, not the true dragon son who promised the heavens, then His Majesty's great cause of seeking the Tao can still be accomplished? Clearly is secret...... Your Majesty! ”

"Bold dog thing!" Before the summer curtain was finished, Jiajing stood up from his seat suddenly, so angry that the luminous cup in his hand fell to the ground, listening to it crisply.

Xia Mu bowed his head and said nothing, but secretly regretted this luminous cup, if he didn't drop it and take it home, it would be excellent to put it on display.

"Go, Zhu Xizhong......" Emperor Jiajing was angry this time, but it was amazing.

Zhu Xizhong hurriedly stood up from his seat, clenched his fists and said, "The minister is here." ”

"Order Jinyi Wei to arrest Luo Tongyun and kill him on the spot, and there is no need to interrogate!"

"Minister, obey!"

After saying that, several people were secretly frightened, and in just a few words, one of the feudal officials gave their lives, this Xia Mu's mouth deserves the word Hades, but it can judge life and death!

At this moment, Emperor Jiajing's face was not very good-looking, he looked at Feng Bao, pointed to the second copy of the newspaper in his hand, and said sharply: "Continue to read the next one!" ”

Feng Bao wiped his cold sweat, smiled at the emperor, and glanced at Xia Mu again, but seeing that this master was frowning and contemplating, and the wooden man was expressionless, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and read the second paragraph:

"Jiangxi Governor Laiza: Nanning Mansion City God's Temple in the courtyard of the strange stone, the first four or five inches out of the ground, the more the day has been more than a foot, the day after the day is getting longer. It has been three or four feet for several days. No one thinks that it is a stone, like a dragon rising from the ground, and it is the way of eternal life, which cannot be said to be a hint from heaven...... Hint...... There are those in the land who have the hope of eternal life.
