Chapter 5 The Wind Rises and the Great Chaos is Coming
Qian Mu is the eldest son of Chen Ju, Xi is the foreman, in charge of the guards of the Gaofu family, and is also responsible for punishment, and his authority is very heavy. Wang Hai is his youngest apprentice, who can speak well and is very favored.
"What, princess, you're surprised to see us?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.
Later generations will be eunuchs collectively referred to as eunuchs, in fact, the highest level of eunuchs can be called eunuchs, down there are young eunuchs, eunuchs, books, Fengyu and many other names, the small fire is the lowest of them. However, regardless of the rank, it is always correct to call it "father-in-law". In fact, when meeting at the same level, in order to show respect, the word "father-in-law" is often added to the end of the other party's surname, and only people like Wang Hai, who have a backer, will call others by their names.
"Surprised? Where, where," Wang Hai's face changed quickly, and in an instant, a sincere smile was already piled up: "Isn't it that you were sick yesterday, let's still think about taking time to see you, I didn't expect you to come back...... How's that, looking at your complexion, it's much better, isn't it? He never mentioned the matter of whistleblowing, and his attitude towards Chen Mo was much better than usual, thinking that he had a ghost in his heart.
Chen Mo remained silent, nodded and said, "It's much better, there is Prince Lao to worry about." ”
"That's good, that's good...... You're just right, rest first, we still have something to do, go first. Wang Hai was anxious to find out the truth of the matter and left in a hurry.
Chen Mo smiled and went into the house to pack his things.
"Good boy, the measure is quite big, just let Wang Hai go?" As he was cleaning up, Zhao Pengcheng's voice came from outside the door, Chen Mo hurriedly turned around and hugged his fists as a salute: "Third brother, why are you here?" As he spoke, he looked behind him and asked, "Is your ass okay?" ”
"It's rare that you still think about our ass," Zhao Pengcheng laughed and patted his ass with his hand: "Look, isn't this good?" Don't look at the eldest brother's straight face all day long, in fact, his heart is soft, but it's his apprentice Wang Hai, who has two sides and three swords, which is really annoying. We just watched from afar, thinking about why you have to give him two punches, but I didn't expect ......"
"It's a pleasure to punch him twice, I'm afraid that the eldest brother's face will be ugly, we have just been accepted as a righteous son by our father-in-law, we can't offend the eldest brother as soon as we come up, right?"
"No wonder my father-in-law values you and takes you under his command," Zhao Pengcheng rushed over as soon as he got the news, sighed at the moment, quite envious, and then changed the conversation: "But if you change to us, you can't swallow this breath if you say anything." ”
"Forget it, don't mention it," Chen Mo suddenly put away his smile and bowed solemnly to Zhao Pengcheng: "Third brother's life-saving grace, keep it in mind, there will be a retribution!" He didn't believe the high-sounding reasons that Zhao Pengcheng said to Chen Ju when he testified for himself, the two had a huge disparity in status, and they had no deep friendship, and the other party was so helpful, there must be a plan, but he didn't want to ask, and he couldn't ask.
"It's a trivial matter, we are brothers now, and we should take care of each other in the future." Zhao Pengcheng stretched out his hand to help Chen Mo up, and hurried up to ask if he needed help to move, and waited until he saw Chen Mo pointing to the two packs of poor private property before giving up.
Chen Mo frowned and watched Zhao Pengcheng leave, thinking that he had finally temporarily gained a foothold in Daming, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
He is a person who is at peace with what he encounters, he does not have much ambition for the future, and he does not dare to think much about the idea of governing the country and the country, and for him at the moment, it is the most fortunate thing to be able to survive.
Chen Mo became Chen Ju's righteous son, but for this reason to be reused, the next period of time, in addition to the daily attentive service, he almost did not step the door, the days were lackluster, until the end of the day, the Ministry of Shangshu Wang Guoguang's housekeeper Sun Quanfu came to visit - unlike the Manchu eunuchs who were not allowed to leave the palace without permission, the Ming Dynasty had 24 yamen, most of the offices were in the northeast corner of the imperial city, and most of the senior eunuchs also had their own mansions here, and contact with outsiders was a very common thing. Not to mention those eunuchs who are all over the world, such as town guards and military tax collectors, in fact, in this period of history, in addition to the lack of the things below, the eunuchs can enjoy more treatment than normal people because of the emperor's trust.
Sun Quanfu is a short white fat man, such a person can always make Chen Mo think of the idiom "hiding a knife in a smile", however, Sun Quanfu subverted his cognition, crying and mourning, as if everyone owed him money, and talked with Chen Jumi for a long time before leaving.
Chen Mo paid special attention to it, and when Sun Quanfu left, his face was still heavy, but his brows were much more open than when he came.
Chen Ju personally sent Sun Quanfu out of the door, and went to see Gao Zhong, who was occasionally cold, and called Chen Mo into his house when he came back.
The official department is equivalent to the organization minister of later generations, and he is in a high position, because he holds the power of official evaluation, he can almost compete with the first and auxiliary ministers of the cabinet. Wang Guoguang is such an identity, his housekeeper, it is definitely not too much to say that he is a seven-grade official, he should be complacent, he shouldn't look like a dead Lao Tzu now.
Chen Mo muttered secretly, made a cup of hot Pu'er for Chen Ju, who had a very solemn face, and stood opposite him quietly with his hands tied, he had a premonition that something big was wrong.
"The imperial history Yang Yinqiu impeached the kingdom for six major crimes, such as damage to public and private interests, and nepotism, and long live the Lord approved and forwarded it to the Cabinet Department...... What do you think? ”
And so it was.
Chen Mo has been dizzy these days, almost forgetting such a major event, he was shocked when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Father-in-law, don't worry, this is nothing new, since we have been at the top of the ministry, how many times has this Wang Dazai not been impeached in a year?" ”
"That was before, when Taishi Zhang was still alive, he naturally couldn't move, this time it's different, do you know who Yang Yinqiu is? Liang Menglong's people. They are all under the command of Taishi Zhang, it is really a tree falling down, how long has the Taishi just passed away, and this has begun to rise up in the nest? Chen Ju's face was gloomy, and there was a hint of injustice.
Unexpectedly, Chen Ju actually admired Zhang Juzheng so much, and Chen Mo was a little surprised. "What does the stepfather mean ......?".
"I won't tell you the truth, my father has no deep friendship with that king Dazai, but I admire him as a person, this person has a gap in his chest, and he is especially good at governing the country and the world, and the setting of the 'Grain Hall' can be seen...... Such a talent, for his father Ya can't bear to go because of the invasion of the same family, moreover, that Liang Menglong and Xu Jue have in-laws, this time not only instructed Yang Yinqiu to impeach Wang Guoguang, but even involved the first assistant Zhang Puzhou (the level of officials in the Ming Dynasty to a certain point, will be used as a hometown name, there is a sense of respect, here refers to Zhang Siwei), he has a life-saving grace for his father, so he wants to write a long live for his father......"
"Father-in-law doesn't." Chen Mo knew the fate of Wang Guoguang and Zhang Siwei, and was taken aback when he heard this, and while he was impressed by Chen Ju, he couldn't help but interrupt him.
"Why?" Chen Judanfeng's eyes narrowed into a line and looked at Chen Mo quietly.
