The Spring Festival is approaching, Bianjing is still shrouded in winter, and when you get up in the morning, the winter fog is filled. Immediately after the fog cleared, a strange scene appeared, on the needles of the green pine, there was a thick hoarfrost, like a white autumn tree; , the branches of the deciduous trees are wrapped in snow, like white jade carved trees; The weeping willows and silver filaments are fluttering, the bushes have become white coral bushes, there are thousands of postures, the plastic is blurred, the snow falls on the continuous roof, the vast area, the glazed tiles in the palace are covered tightly.

Shen Dacai was ordered to be taken by Qin, and is now under house arrest in Dali Temple, this matter has already spread, and in Bianjing City, there are a few more things to talk about, and there are those who admire Shen Ao's talent, and try their best to defend him; There are also those who are jealous in their hearts, and they will inevitably fall into the well and sneer.

The palace was very calm in the early morning, calm and a little unspeakable, and Zhao Ji returned to Wenjing Pavilion in the morning, he slept less and had big bags under his eyes, and overnight, he seemed to have aged a lot; Wenjing Pavilion was as warm as spring, and he leaned on the little man, thinking absentmindedly about his thoughts.

After a while, Yang Jian commanded the two little eunuchs to come in, Zhao Ji raised his eyes and said with a straight face: "What's wrong?" ”

Yang Jian said: "It's a song sent by Zhongshu Province, there are more than 70 copies, please take a look at it." ”

Zhao Ji waved his hand in disgust: "I don't look at it, take it!" ”

Yang Jian was in a dilemma, and was about to command the little eunuch to take the song away, when Zhao Ji suddenly said: "What is it today, why did you send so many songs?" ”

Yang Jian stood up and said: "The slave doesn't know, Your Majesty will know it at a glance." ”

Zhao Ji's face was pale, after all, he still gave birth to curiosity, in the past, there were seven or eight copies of the music handed into the palace, which was already a lot, but now I don't know what's wrong?

Zhao Ji raised his hand and said, "Take it up and show it to me." ”

The little eunuch put Song Shu on the imperial case, and Zhao Ji casually picked up a copy and looked at it: the ministers reported everything when they heard the loyalty, and the letter was not suspicious, and the ministers often thought it was true, and they spoke in vain! The righteousness of the former Jing Ke Mu Yandan...... Now there is Shen Ao, greedy and lawless, deceived and concealed, and has no guilt, and is still complacent...... May Your Majesty take note of it. Yu Shi Tongrun bowed from the ambush.

Zhao Ji read the song and knew that this letter was an impeachment of Wen Shu, and the object of impeachment was Shen Ao, saying that he was corrupt and illegal, and asked for property from Fanshang during his tenure, and his crime was unforgivable.

What's even more interesting is that this imperial history article called Tong Runcong is very well done, first a burst of quotes, and then a burst of scolding, free and dripping.

After reading this recital, Zhao Ji felt a sense of joy in his heart, and said: "Good scolding!" Hmph, it turns out that Shen Ao is still greedy, it really doesn't make sense, if it weren't for this Tong Yushi, I would still be kept in the dark. ”

Immediately picked up a few more notes, the content is the same, this said that Shen Ao married four wives, claiming to be a saint, but ignoring the etiquette, it is really an unforgivable sin, please Your Majesty punished; There is also a story about the prince of Ni Boluo, saying that Shen Ao indulged in lawlessness, beat foreign envoys, and humiliated the Great Song Dynasty, these are still well documented, and a few articles made Zhao Ji speechless, saying that it was rumored that Shen Ao loved his wife at home, and even cooked pastries himself, the so-called gentleman was far away from cooking, this guy was so hateful, he dared to cook, it was an unforgivable crime, shameless, and extremely bad, so it was a burst of quotations, saying that a certain great annihilator in ancient times was also this virtue, from which it was inferred, This Shen Ao is a scheming thief, and everyone will be punished.

Later, it was even more unpleasant, Zhao Ji picked up a piece of music and couldn't help crying and laughing, it said this, Shen Ao is too bad, why is it bad? Because the minister heard that when he went to the Honglu Temple to be on duty, he actually rode a horse instead of a sedan chair, I Song Chongwen suppressed martial arts, Shen Ao did this, what is his intention? The minister also heard that Shen Ao had a close relationship with the front division of the palace, so the minister could infer that this Shen Ao was hopeless, and when he finally put down the pen, this strange person who wrote the song did not forget to add: Shen Ao is a person with ill intentions, and he can't use common sense to decide, and he befriended a martial artist, but he is plotting against him?

At the beginning, Song Shuli scolded Shen Ao excitedly, Zhao Ji felt that he was out of a bad breath for himself, and then it was the same, and he couldn't help but get bored, and pushed Song Shu, and suddenly found that he hated Shen Ao so much that his teeth itched, and after these people scolded, he lost his anger, and felt that although Shen Ao was hateful, he was also a little pitiful, and he was splashed with dirty water, and thousands of people stepped on it, and in a blink of an eye, he became a heinous person.

Just asked Zhao Ji to defend Shen Ao, but Zhao Ji refused, in the past, he had already been angry, and the next order was to apply for these guys who were chasing after the wind and shadows and had nothing to do, but now although his anger has disappeared, he can't put his face down.

Zhao Ji was silent for a moment, and suddenly said to Yang Jian: "Yang Jian, I ask you, is Shen Ao really a heinous person?" ”

Yang Jian didn't know what the official family's intention was in asking like this, a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and he suddenly realized that this was an opportunity, and hurriedly said: "If someone wants to make Shen Ao heinous, Shen Ao is heinous." ”

This answer was a bit vague, Zhao Ji's eyes flashed, and his deep eyes deepened: "Who is this person?" ”

Yang Jian immediately said: "The slave doesn't dare to say it." ”

The more Yang Jian didn't dare to say it, Zhao Ji chewed this sentence more carefully, and said slowly: "Go, write down the names of the people who played the impeachment, and report it to me immediately." ”

Yang Jian responded to the order, and immediately called a few eunuchs with pen and pen, and asked them to clean up and record the music, and after only a stick of incense, the list was presented, Zhao Ji took the list and sighed: "Yang Jian, you are right, someone wants to call him heinous, hum, Shen Ao also deserves it, if he doesn't mess around, how can he have this day?" As for the trial, you go and ask Master Cai's opinion, ask him how he wants to try the law, and tell him that if he can't be convicted, let him be reinstated, and if he can be convicted, I will severely punish him! ”

Yang Jian immediately said: "The slave will go to deliver the decree." ”

"Come back, send these impeached notes to the Taishi, and see what he has to say."

…………………………………………………………………………………… Yang Jian went to pass the decree, and Cai Jing immediately called Wang Hao, Wang Zhichen and others, looked at them with a blue face, sighed, and said, "You have made a big mistake!" ”

Wang Hao and Wang Zhichen looked at each other, confused for a while, and said, "Please make it clear to the Taishi." ”

Cai Jing sighed, took out a few copies of the music from his sleeve, fell to the ground, and said, "See for yourself." ”

The two picked up the note, although the content of the note is a little absurd, but there is nothing, the wind and the story, this is the unique skill of the imperial historians, what is this, what can be a big deal?

Cai Jing sighed: "Do you know why His Majesty sent Song Shu to me?" You guys...... It's really stupid, impeachment is essential, and if there are not many essences, flying into the palace like snowflakes can kill people? Hmph, it's okay to deal with others, but it's far from being good to deal with Shen Ao. ”

Wang Hao bowed down and listened to Cai Jing's reprimand, but he felt disapproving, thinking in his heart: Isn't it what you are most good at, but now you blame us.

Cai Jing sat down, took a few breaths, and said: "Your Majesty asked the old man about the trial, and also said that if the crime is found to be substantiated, it can be dealt with immediately, and if no evidence can be found, he must be released, and he must be reinstated." ”

Wang Zhichen was born in a criminal name, and he had some experience, and said: "This is easy to do, since you can't ask about the crime of bullying the king, then start with corruption, catch a little bit, and then search for evidence, not afraid that Shen Ao can overturn the case." He licked his lips and said confidently: "Shen Ao's embezzlement, I have already asked someone to search for evidence, and I have also sent someone to find a few businessmen to testify, as long as he is confronted in court, he will have an incorruptible tongue, and he will only obediently admit his guilt and surrender to the law." ”

Wang Hao lifted his spirits: "What Lord Wang said is right, with evidence, you can force a confession." ”

Cai Jing just shook his head dejectedly, from beginning to end, he had an instinctive intuition, and his intuition was that Shen Ao was not simple, because from the beginning, Shen Ao was too calm there, and there was no wind on Wei Jungong's side.

Why is that?

Cai Jing hadn't figured it out for a while, originally according to his caution, he would never do it easily before he figured it out, but the henchmen were extremely angry one by one, and they couldn't wait to completely trample Shen Ao to death with one kick, just like the crest of the waves under the wind and rain, Cai Jing was pushed by the back waves, and he couldn't do it urgently.

When Yang Jian came to deliver the decree, Cai Jing felt even more that something was wrong, but at this time...... Cai Jing glanced at Wang Huang and Wang Zhichen, who were eager to try, sighed, and said, "You guys can do it yourself."

……………………………………………………………………………… Shen Ao has gained weight, if anyone knows that this guy has grown a few pounds of meat in Dali Temple under house arrest, he can't help but step forward and kick him a few times.

In fact, he didn't want to, staying in this house, he couldn't go anywhere, he could only lie down, eat and sleep, sleep and eat, carefree, it was difficult not to get fat.

A few small officials in front of the door as guards, really eager to find a crack in the ground to get in, other prisoners invited in, that is all panicked, as soon as there is a wind and grass, they are scared and trembling, occasionally a few bold, but also unpleasant, tossing and turning; I just met Shen Ao, this guy, he ate when he slept, slept when he ate, served three meals a day, he swept away the plates, and at night, he was clamoring to eat pastries.

Don't give face, it's too much to give face, if this person walks out, people who don't know still think that Dali Temple is Honglu Temple, put down the water and fire sticks, shackles and change to welcome guests, this makes people embarrassed, and let Dali Temple up and down how to create new highs, strive for greater progress?

Although there are complaints in their hearts, but this Master Shen, they don't dare to slack off, Si Qing has already instructed to take good care of them, Si Zheng and several officials also came to say hello, so they have to be careful to serve, not to be lazy.

After four days of detention, several small officials in charge of guarding were relieved, and now it is said that it is the son of the trial, quickly send this plague god away, and then stay, don't say that they can't stand it, this Dali Temple is going to become an inn, just to provide him with pastries, let them be so tired that they have to lie down, this old man wants to eat pastries, and also named to the Yaya mountain house, there is no way, can only buy it for him, so he walked seven or eight miles back and forth, panting and sending the pastries, he took a bite, and shook his head, shaking his head, actually said: It's a pity, it's a pity, it's not freshly baked, it's not interesting.

This is really treating himself as an uncle, the guards are so angry, no matter how big the offender is, they have seen it, and there are few such tricky ones, they really take themselves as uncles.

The guards unlocked the door with excitement, and when they entered it, Shen Ao was lying on the couch and falling asleep, and one of the guards cautiously went over to wake him up, and said with a smile: "Lord Shen, the time has come." ”

Shen Ao opened his eyes, sat up, patted his head, and said, "When is it?" ”

"My lord, I'm going to be tried today."

Shen Ao sat dumbfounded, and sighed: "When will the trial start?" ”

"A moment."

"What time is it?"

The guards have never encountered such a verbose person, people want to mention you, you follow us, where is so much nonsense, this uncle is also, after listening to the trial, he is not in a hurry at all, and he is still in the mood to ask questions, and he said patiently: "It's the hour of the hour." ”

"Oh......" Shen Ao pulled a long voice to show that he understood, got up and put on his clothes, and said slowly: "There is still an hour, no hurry, no hurry, I haven't eaten breakfast yet, which brother will go to the Ya Mountain House to buy a cage of osmanthus cake for me......"

"......" The guards couldn't help but widen their eyes, what a hell, uncle, you are going to be tried, in another hour, you will be convicted, or you will be sent to the army, or you will be killed and hanged, what kind of pastries do you eat?
