CHAPTER XXIX

It was less than an hour, and time flew by so fast that King Yu couldn't sit still anymore and walked back and forth in the study. Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng couldn't sit still, they both stood in front of their chairs, looking at the open study door.

"Returned!" Finally, a call from the eunuch on duty came from outside the door.

Yuwang immediately stood up and looked at the door of the study.

Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng's eyes were also frozen at the door of the study.

Feng Bao appeared at the door of the study panting, holding the door frame with one hand and panting heavily.

"Have you seen Grandpa Lu?" Yuwang asked urgently.

Feng Bao gasped, and knelt down softly with his hand along the door frame: "Slaves, slaves have waited so hard......"

"Have you seen it?" Yuwang was even more anxious.

Feng Bao: "First, it wasn't until the time of You, that Gonggong Lu was willing to see the slave. said that Chen Hong took the lead, and the people from the Criminal Department and the Suppression Division were all called to Xiyuan. After the fifteenth and sixteenth sons, they will take men......"

King Yu's face turned white, and Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng were all stunned.

"Who the hell is being arrested, did Gonggong Lu say it?" Xu Jie, after all, was calmer, and asked in a relaxed tone as best he could.

Several pairs of eyes looked at Feng Bao again.

Feng Bao gasped and calmed a little: "Gonggong Lu doesn't know either. But before the servants came, the emperor had already summoned Gonggong Lu. ”

"Is that ticket going to be approved by Gonggong Lu?" Gao Gong's words have just been implemented, and the most important thing at the moment is how to send Gao Hanwen and his wife out of Beijing.

"Approved, approved......" Feng Bao also remembered the matter of the ticket, took out the ticket from his arms, and handed it over through the door.

"It's late. Even if they go now, they can't send Gao Hanwen away. Xu Jie's soft sigh made everyone not take the ticket, and Feng Bao's hand was stretched out there.

Xu Jie said again: "If the emperor wants to investigate this matter, Gao Hanwen will also be arrested if they send it out of the capital." ”

"I don't see it that way!" Gao Gong walked over and grabbed the ticket, "The matter of Zhang Zhenren's incarnation is already known to the government and the opposition. As long as the people are sent away, no one dares to arrest them again with great fanfare. The strict party wants our lives, and the emperor wants his own face! ”

In a word, this sentence ignited the fire of hope in everyone's eyes.

"You stay here. I'm going to give it away! Gao Gong said and was about to go out.

"Tall, sir." Zhang Juzheng walked over, "I am an official of the Ministry of War, and I have the survey of the Ministry of War, and it is better for me to take someone from the Ministry of War than you to go." After speaking, he took the ticket from Gao Gong's hand, and without hesitation, he stepped over Feng Bao's body and walked out of the door.

There are only Yuwang, Xu Jie, and Gao Gong left in the house.

Xu Jie also showed the momentum of the old minister at this time: "Su Qing, you immediately go to Zou Yinglong to get the copy of the recital he wrote, and the old man will go to Xiyuan to wait for you." Before the time, I tried my best to send the music to the emperor. ”

"Master Xu, Master Gao!" King Yu called the two, "Don't go, don't go anywhere...... Just stay here. If the emperor wants to ask for the guilt, I will carry it. ”

A warm current in Xu Jie's and Gao Gong's hearts surged up with bitterness, and both of them knelt down.

Gao Gong was the first to say loudly: "Lord Wang, since ancient times, 'Han and thieves do not stand together!'" If you don't fight at this time, what else do you want us ministers to do! ”

Xu Jie: "You can't ask anyone about the sins of the prince." The Ming Dynasty is all on the prince. ”

After saying these two sentences, the two of them kowtowed at the same time, Gao Gong stood up with Xu Jie in his hand, and the two walked out at the same time.

King Yu stood there in a daze, suddenly dizzy, and was about to fall.

"Master!" Feng Bao, who had been kneeling at the door, bounced up at this time, jumped into the door, hugged King Yu, and then shouted outside the door, "Someone!" ”

At the end of the day, the lamp markets everywhere were scattered, and the people who watched the lanterns had to return home before the end of the day, but the people who lived in Xiejie and watched the lights outside could not go back at this time, and they were all blocked at the entrance of the street by the officers and soldiers brought by Yan Shifan, and they were not allowed to go.

There was another chorus of running. Immediately afterwards, a group of officers and soldiers appeared, followed by a large sedan chair, and two horse-drawn carriages galloped around.

"Is it the waterwheel that commands the yamen!" The officer guarding the street asked loudly, and greeted him with two soldiers.

"What waterwheel, which yamen are you from?" The team leader had already approached and asked loudly.

Only then did the officer guarding the street see clearly that the team of soldiers was also carrying lanterns and hugging a sedan chair, followed by only two carriages, and there were no waterwheels.

"Stop!" The officer guarding the street stopped the soldiers, "Which yamen are you?" I didn't see that the night is forbidden here, so take a detour! ”

The officer of the team: "You asked us about it." What night is forbidden before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month! Get out of the way! ”

"Someone!" The team officer guarding the street entrance shouted an order.

Many soldiers came running and blocked the street.

The people who were squatting there all looked at the two groups of officers and soldiers in horror.

"What's going on?" Where the sedan curtain was lifted, Zhang Juzheng came out of it.

"Master Zhang!" Of course, the officer guarding the street knew him, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly walked over and gave a military salute on one leg, "I don't know if it's Master Zhang, and the little one will ask for the guilt first." ”

Zhang Juzheng: "What are you doing here?" ”

The team officer guarding the street hesitated for a moment: "It's really hard for the small one to reply to the adult's words." Please forgive me for the difficulties of the little ones, and where to take a detour. ”

Zhang Juzheng smiled: "I'm just going to enter this street, where do you tell me to go around?" ”

The team officer guarding the street was stunned: "Dare to ask whose house the adults are going?" ”

Zhang Juzheng smiled: "You dare to ask me?" The whole team entered the street. If you dare to stand in the way, take it immediately. As he spoke, he got into the sedan chair.

"Yes!" The officer who spoke to him replied very loudly, "The whole team is on the street!" ”

The officers and men of this group held their guns, drew their knives with their swords, and trotted towards the diagonal street.

The officers guarding the street entrance got out of the way first, and those soldiers naturally avoided on both sides.

The officers and soldiers hugged Zhang Juzheng's sedan chair and the two carriages to the gate of Gao Hanwen's mansion, Zhang Juzheng got off the sedan chair, and the soldiers guarding the door were just about to stop him, and the officer who followed Zhang Juzheng held the handle of the knife and scolded: "Blind, don't you see that it is Lord Zhang?" Get out of the way! ”

The soldier knew Zhang Juzheng, but he was brought by Yan Shifan, and he was thinking about it, and he was pulled away by the officer. The officer of the team opened the way in front and introduced Zhang Juzheng to Gaofu.

Yan Shifan's eyes widened, looking at Zhang Juzheng who walked in slowly.

Gao Hanwen saw Zhang Juzheng who appeared at this time, and his eyes flashed brightly.

"Little Pavilion Elder also knows?" Zhang Juzheng didn't look at Gao Hanwen, but only arched his hand to Yan Shifan.

"What do I know? What are you doing here? "Yan Shifan had already sent someone to quietly surround Zhang Juzheng's mansion before coming here, and he was going to take him when he was willed, and then Zhang Juzheng appeared here? Yan Shifan was suspicious for a while, and he forgot the minimum number of courtesies, and he didn't return the courtesy, staring at Zhang Juzheng and asking.

"Of course, it's Gao Hanwen's business." Zhang Juzheng replied and turned to look at Gao Hanwen, "The cabinet has an approval, Gao Hanwen listened to it." ”

Gao Hanwen looked at Zhang Juzheng in a daze, and slowly knelt down.

Yan Shifan was also stunned, looking at Zhang Juzheng with wide eyes.

Zhang Juzheng took out a ticket from his sleeve and read it out loud: "There is an impeachment of the Hanlin Academy for revising Gao Hanwen in the imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate, saying that Gao Hanwen, as a Wenyuan Qingliu and an official of the imperial court, actually took prostitutes as his wife, violated the regulations of the "Daming Huidian", and defiled the officials! Now verified by the Ministry of Officials, the cabinet draft vote was approved by the celebrant and the superintendent, and he was immediately dismissed to the Gaohan Wenhan Forest Academy for revision, and he was dismissed as a common man and never used. After seeing the ticket, he was immediately expelled from the capital division and delivered to his hometown. After reading out, he looked at Gao Hanwen again, "Gao Hanwen, the carriage has been prepared for you, you pack up and leave Beijing immediately with your family." ”

After listening to Zhang Juzheng's words, Gao Hanwen slowly stood up, looking at Zhang Juzheng's eyes like the ice of a thousand-year-old cold river!

Yan Shifan suddenly came to his senses: "Where are you going to vote!" ”

Zhang Juzheng: "Since it is a vote, of course it is the cabinet." ”

Yan Shifan: "Which cabinet?" Has Yan Ge seen it? ”

Zhang Juzheng: "Lord Yan, must the cabinet's approval be read by Elder Yan Ge?" ”

"Fake!" Yan Shifan roared, "The old man is the head of the cabinet, and he hasn't even seen it, how can the cabinet draw up votes?" Who dares to criticize red? ”

Zhang Juzheng was not in a hurry or impatient: "Lord Yan's words are a little wrong. In July last year, the emperor had a will, and the daily affairs of the cabinet were handled by Xu Ge. Since then, the cabinet has been Xu Ge's old vote, and it has been reported to the celebrant for approval. This ticket is intended to be the ticket proposed by Xu Ge, and the red approved by Gong Lu is red. Isn't it that the tickets proposed by Yan Ge are all fake? ”

Yan Shifan knew that he had already done it: "Okay, you plan your vote, we plan our vote!" Gao Hanwen has a big case, and he is not allowed to leave tonight! ”

"Gotta go tonight!" Zhang Juzheng sternly resisted, "If Lord Yan has other cases, he can file a case through the Three Law Divisions tomorrow and report it to the cabinet for retrial." Come! ”

The team officer who followed Zhang Juzheng walked in in response.

Zhang Juzheng: "You help count the luggage of the leathermen, and take the survey of the military department to send the leathermen and their families out of the city gate." ”

Officer: "Yes! ”

"Who dare!" Before the officer turned around, Yan Shifan roared at him, and then stared at Zhang Juzheng, "I said, play a serial set, kill people!" ”

Zhang Juzheng was stunned for a moment, and then his face also cooled: "What does Lord Yan mean by this, what kind of murder and extermination?" ”

Yan Shifan sneered: "I secretly told them to deceive the emperor, and now that I see that the matter is about to be revealed, I ask them to set themselves on fire!" Gao Hanwen, you still don't understand at this time! ”

Zhang Juzheng was also confused, and looked at Gao Hanwen blankly.

"It's none of my business, Lord Zhang." Gao Hanwen replied calmly, "Elder Xiaoge wants to impose the charge of bullying the king on me and Humble Jing, Humble Jing has prepared dry firewood and oil in the backyard house, if you want to take her, she has to burn all the jade." ”

Zhang Juzheng was also shocked, and then he understood why someone asked about the waterwheel when he entered the street just now, and he slowly looked at Gao Hanwen: "That's not the case." Gao Hanwen, you go and call your wife out, and I will send you out of Beijing. ”

"No one can leave! Come! Yan Shifan roared.

One of his officers ran in.

Yan Shifan: "This house and this street are all controlled by me, and no one is allowed to go out, let alone let one go into the backyard!" Also, why hasn't the waterwheel that commanded the yamen come yet! ”

"Yes!" His officer ran out and shouted all the way from the courtyard to the courtyard gate, and many soldiers ran into the courtyard gate, confronting Zhang Juzheng and their soldiers there.

The officer shouted at a few soldiers, "What is the commander of the yamen doing to eat?" Why hasn't the watermill come yet? Go urge! ”

Zhang Juzheng knew that Gao Hanwen and Yun Niang had a heart to die, and although his mood was complicated at this time, he already understood that Yan Shifan could not be arrested, so he calmed down and shouted: "Guard the courtyard gate!" No one is allowed to enter or leave this house again! ”

His officer was also outside shouting loudly, and immediately blocked the door with his soldiers.

The soldiers brought by Yan Shifan and the soldiers brought by Zhang Juzheng were blocked in the courtyard.

Then, Zhang Juzheng simply sat down: "It's the fifteenth day of the first month of the forty-first year of Jiajing." I didn't expect to sit here with Xiao Ge Lao and wait for the festival. ”

"Zhang Taiyue!" Yan Shifan was half angry with him, and rushed over and yelled at him, "You are also a Jinshi in the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing, fifteen years, you know, against the cabinet, against the imperial court, no one will have a good end!" ”

Zhang Juzheng: "It's still the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xiaoge Lao, let's talk about it when the bad words are over." ”

"Okay, okay, then we'll see!" Yan Shifan suddenly lifted his robe and sat down.

The blazing torches and bright lanterns illuminated the courtyard outside the master of ceremonies and supervisors brighter than the light market!

Dozens of officials with more than 1,000 households in the Criminal Punishment Division and the Suppression Division suddenly received an order that there was a big prison and that they should take a lot of people, and they were all gathered in the courtyard at this time!

Chen Hong is the chief eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor, and according to the regulations, the Criminal Department and the Suppression Department are in charge of him. At this time, he and several other Bingbi eunuchs stood in front of the door of the duty room, looking coldly at the eunuchs of the East Factory and the leaders of the Jinyi Guard of the Zhenfu Division in the courtyard.

In the distance, there was the faint sound of fireworks, but here there was only the occasional crackling sound of torches burning.

Chen Hong coughed and spoke: "Are all the people and horses of each team ready?" ”

"Back to Grandpa Chen, it's all ready!" The heads of several criminal divisions and pacification divisions replied in unison.

Chen Hong looked up at the small moon in the west of the sky: "It's the end of the day." All cheer up our family, and as soon as the will of the Lord of the Son arrives, they will go separately. ”

"Yes!" The heads answered in unison.

"Godfather!" A big eunuch from the Criminal Department looked at Chen Hong, "Where are you going, and who are you going?" ”

Chen Hong's gaze swept towards him coldly: "I'll tell you when the time comes." No one is allowed to inquire now. Hear me clearly! ”

Several heads replied in unison: "Hear me clearly!" ”

Gradually, the sound of firecrackers in the distance died down, after all, it was the New Year, and the night wind was cold, and the torches were shaking.

Several eunuchs and eunuchs all put on their fur robes and stood there waiting. Only Chen Hong seemed excited, expectant, and seemed to be a little anxious, walking back and forth alone.

Seeing that it was time to poop, Chen Hong didn't go back and forth, stopped there, looked at the door of the compound, and waited for the final revelation of the will.

The drum of the hour finally sounded, and all the people were shocked, and all eyes looked at the courtyard gate.

It was Lu Fang who appeared at the gate of the courtyard with the sound of more drums! He was also followed by Zhu Qi and a group of brocade guards.

"Ancestor is well! Hello godfather! Almost all of them knelt down on one leg and folded their hands in a row.

Chen Hong was shocked, stunned there, looking at Lu Fang, but he didn't like usual, he forgot to salute in the past.

Lu Fang slowly walked towards him: "Are you all ready?" ”

"Accurate, ready." Chen Hong came to his senses, replied, and asked eagerly, "It's ready." Three people, Gao Gong all the way, Zhang Juzheng all the way, Xu Ge Lao there or not? ”

It turned out to be the masters who wanted to take Yuwang! All the people, whether kneeling there or standing there with their heads bowed, were secretly frightened when they heard the words!

Lu Fang's eyes were so strange, and he looked at Chen Hong obliquely: "Who told you that Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and Xu Ge are old?" ”

This time it was Chen Hong's turn to be shocked, standing there with his mouth open, and he didn't recover for a long time.

Lu Fang ignored him anymore, walked to the door of the duty room, stood still, and said slowly: "Yan Shifan, Luo Longwen, and Yan Maoqing violated the rules of heaven, and they were ordered to immediately surround the mansion of the three people!" No one is allowed to let go of anything! ”

All the heads were raised, all the eyes were even more shocked, Yan Dang fell?

Lu Fang: "I heard that Yan Shifan, Luo Longwen, and Yan Maoqing are still leading the people from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to arrest the loyal ministers, and the Criminal Department and the Zhenfu Division each divided into a team to go to Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng's mansion to take Luo Longwen and Yan Maoqing and send them back to their own homes to be detained. ”

"Yes!" All understood, and the two passers-by roared, stood up, and ran out.

Chen Hong was stunned there, the celebrant and the eunuchs were all silent, and the group of brocade guards brought by Zhu Qi were still waiting there.

Lu Fang looked at Zhu Qi: "Zhu Qi." ”

Zhu Qi replied loudly: "Here!" ”

Lu Fang: "Your people go to Tobacco Bag Xiejie and send Yan Shifan back to his own home." ”

Zhu Qi: "Yes! Walk! ”

Zhu Qi took the group of brocade guards out of the courtyard gate with a gust of wind.

Lu Fang deliberately didn't look at Chen Hong at this time, and only looked at the other eunuchs: "There are a lot of things to discuss, let's go into the house." After speaking, he walked into the duty room first.

Several eunuchs followed into the duty room, and Chen Hong was stunned in the courtyard alone for a long time, gritted his teeth, and followed up the duty room.

"Seventh Master!"

"Seventh Master!"

Zhu Qi's name is really loud! The officers and soldiers brought by Yan Shifan and the officers and soldiers brought by Zhang Juzheng were facing each other in the front yard of Gao Hanwen's mansion, and at this time they saw Zhu Qi and the group of brocade guards behind him, although they were surprised, they all dispersed, lined up in two teams, saluted together, and called "Seventh Master".

Zhu Qi always smiled at these people, let them shout, and walked straight into the front hall with the group of brocade guards like the wind.

Seeing Zhu Qi enter the house, Zhang Juzheng and Yan Shifan stood up almost at the same time.

"Lord Yan." Zhu Qi first bowed his hand to Yan Shifan.

Yan Shifan immediately showed a smile: "Lao Qi is here in person." ”

Zhu Qi didn't answer his words, and turned to look at Zhang Juzheng and arched his hand again: "Lord Zhang." ”

Zhang Juzheng looked at him suspiciously and nodded.

"This is Gao Hanwen." Yan Shifan pointed to Gao Hanwen who was standing there, "Shen Yishi, that geisha is inside." Seventh, it's good for you to come and take the prisoners away with me. ”

Zhu Qi slowly looked at Yan Shifan: "I am about to escort Yan Shifan back to the house and listen to the order." Lord Yan, let's go with the little one. ”

How could Yan Shifan ever be so shocked? Stunned for a moment, he looked at Zhu Qi in surprise. Zhang Juzheng softened and sat back in his chair.

"What?" Zhu Qi spoke clearly, Yan Shifan actually heard every word truthfully, but he didn't want to believe his ears, and stared at Zhu Qi with wide eyes.

Zhu Qi: "Lord Yan, the little ones are on an errand, please don't embarrass us, come with us." As he spoke, he stretched out his fan-sized palm and pushed out the door.

"I want to see the emperor!" Yan Shifan really woke up at this time, and while walking outside, he muttered, "There are traitors, I want to see the emperor!" ”

Zhu Qi followed him closely, several brocade guards rushed in front to open the way, and several brocade guards followed behind him. Originally, he came with Yan Shifan to arrest others, but he would have thought that Xiao Ge Lao would suddenly be arrested by Jinyiwei. The officers and soldiers brought by Yan Shifan suddenly couldn't find the "camp gate". Seeing the brocade guard who walked out of the gate escorting Yan Shifan and his party out, the general who led the team came over and followed Zhu Qi closely: "Seven, Seventh Master, what should we do?" ”

Zhu Qi didn't look at him: "Go back to which yamen it is." What is the blind mixing of the big festival? ”

The general hurriedly ordered: "The whole team! The whole team! Back to the Yamen! ”

The officers and soldiers brought by Yan Shifan all squeezed out of the door with a bang and dispersed.

Walking to the center of the street, Yan Shifan suddenly stopped and looked at Zhu Qi: "Just walk back like this?" ”

Zhu Qi smiled faintly, stretched out his hand and pointed to Yan Shifan's sedan chair and said, "Please, Lord Yan." ”

Soaring away like the wind. After a while, the sedan chair carrying Yan Shifan was carried to the door of Yan Shifan's mansion. A brocade guard opened the sedan curtain, but Yan Shifan sat motionless inside, he saw that the tall door wall was full of torches and lanterns, standing full of brocade guards, but at the gate was the eunuch of Dongchang.

"It's home. Lord Yan, get off the sedan chair. Zhu Qi shouted outside the sedan chair.

"Take the decree to me." Yan Shifan sat in the sedan chair and still didn't move.

"The holy decree is not for us to read, Lord Yan knows, we only take people." Zhu Qi stretched out his big hand, still reaching out politely.

"Without a holy decree, you dare to surround my house and take me!" Yan Shifan roared again in the sedan chair.

Countless brocade guards had fire in their eyes and surrounded them from all sides.

"What for! You dare! Yan Shifan still roared.

Zhu Qi raised his hand, and those brocade guards stopped.

Zhu Qi stretched out his hand and grabbed the sedan curtain and pulled it, threw it on the ground, then jumped into the sedan pole, and looked at Yan Shifan in the sedan chair: "Yan Shifan, do you remember any person?" ”

For the first time, Yan Shifan saw that the face of the leader of Jinyi Wei was so terrifying: "Who? ”

Zhu Qi: "Our Jinyiwei experience officer Shen Lian Shen! ”

Yan Shifan's face turned white: "You, you want to announce your personal vendetta!" ”

"That's right." Zhu Qi's face was as cold as a stone, "Lord Shen was my Zhu Qi's boss back then. And the boss of all the brothers who are here today. Lord Shen went up to you dogs, you two dogs, you died so miserably, you forgot about us! ”

Yan Shifan: "That's good, if you have a kind, kill me and avenge him!" He closed his eyes as he spoke.

Zhu Qi: "Dogs, you traitors have killed so many loyal ministers, and now it's too painful to kill you." Come out! With a roar, Zhu Qi's palms hit the pillars on both sides of the sedan chair, and the top and wall of the sedan car immediately scattered and flew out, leaving only the sedan seat still in place and unharmed! Yan Shifan sat alone on the sedan seat with no roof or wall of the car.

"! Slip in! Zhu Qi patted the ash on his hand and walked away.

The two brocade guards pounced, grabbed Yan Shifan's arms one by one, and dragged them into the mansion gate!

The front yard of Gao Hanwen's mansion was silent at this time.

Zhang Juzheng was still nervously standing in the front hall, staring at the back door of the front hall.

Finally, Gao Hanwen came in through the back door of the front hall, and Zhang Juzheng hurriedly asked, "Is Mrs. Zun out?" ”

Gao Hanwen nodded: "I'm packing my luggage." ”

Zhang Juzheng: "Someone! ”

An officer walked through the hall door.

Zhang Juzheng: "Send some people to bring out all the firewood in the backyard house, remember, there is oil in the house, no fire is allowed, and lanterns are not allowed to enter." Send some more people to help Gao Da pack his luggage. ”

"Yes!" The officer walked to the door.

"Bring the door shut." Zhang Juzheng's voice came from behind again.

"Yes." The officer closed the door of the hall from the outside as he went out.

Zhang Juzheng walked to the chair on the east side, first moved the next chair, then walked to the first chair and moved the next chair, and said to Gao Hanwen: "Sit down." He sat down on the chair at the top.

Gao Hanwen also sat down silently on the next chair.

The two chairs are diagonally facing each other, and there is a bit of a knee-to-knee conversation.

"Mo Qing." Zhang Juzheng's call was as sincere as his eyes at this time.

Gao Hanwen raised his head and looked at him.

Zhang Juzheng: "You are from the thirty-fifth year of Jiajing, right?" ”

Gao Hanwen: "Every subject is now a passing cloud. ”

Zhang Juzheng: "I remember that subject, I am also an examiner, but your paper is in Yan Shifan's room." A lot of things are out of my own hands. ”

Gao Hanwen: "It's all over. What is the command for Lord Zhang to say directly. Nothing else, let's leave it at that. ”

Zhang Juzheng looked at him: "'Go to the poor place of water and sit and watch the clouds rise. 'We are also forced to go back and stay for a while, wrap yourself in me, and you will be called back.' ”

"My life and that of Humble Jing were saved by Master Zhang, and it is a great luck to be able to get out of the capital alive. I'm not going to come back here. Gao Hanwen stood up, "I have been mistaken by reading all my life, and it is better to do something than to be an official." It's just that now it's hard to return to a family and a country, but I didn't expect it. ”

Zhang Juzheng also stood up: "Why, I can't go back home?" ”

Gao Hanwen: "The same crime, 'taking a prostitute as a wife'." The father and mother of the family have already spread the word that they are not allowed to enter the door of the Gao family in life, and they are not allowed to bury the grave of the Gao family in death. There's no going back. ”

Zhang Juzheng was also gloomy, thought about it, and looked at him again: "This is something we didn't expect either." Mo Qing, the intention is to repatriate you to your hometown. ”

Gao Hanwen: "If Master Zhang is really willing to leave a glimmer of life for his later life, please remove this sentence and don't send me back to my hometown." ”

Zhang Juzheng immediately replied: "I can remove this sentence, but where are you going?" ”

Gao Hanwen: "Wander the world." ”

Zhang Juzheng's face was solemn: "That's not good." Zhang Zhenren's true scripture, some people will not give up. Wherever you and Mrs. Zun go, it affects the court. Listen to my arrangement, then go to Zhejiang. Zhao Zhenji and Tan Lun are all there, you go there safely. ”

At this time, Yun Niang changed into her suit, put on a cloak to keep out the cold, carried a burden, and held a piano covered with a cloth bag in her arms, and came out of the back door of the front hall.

Yun Niang put down her burden, put down the piano bag again, and gave Zhang Juzheng a deep blessing: "Thank you Lord Zhang for your protection, we are willing to go to Zhejiang." ”

Zhang Juzheng has seen Yun Niang for the third time, although he has been secretly amazed by this woman, but he has always been disdainful of her experience, so he didn't look at her at this time, only looked at Gao Hanwen.

Gao Hanwen was surprisingly indifferent at this time: "You can go anywhere, but you can't go to Zhejiang!" ”

Yun Niang was stunned, touched Gao Hanwen's eyes, lowered her eyes again, and was stunned.

Zhang Juzheng answered, and his voice showed toughness: "You can't go anywhere, you can only go to Zhejiang!" Gao Hanwen looked at him steadily.

Zhang Juzheng glanced at Yun Niang, and soon looked at Gao Hanwen again, and his voice softened: "There is always a dilemma between gain and loss. Peach source grass, far away from the temple, Moqing, I hope this is your blessing. ”

Gao Han Wenmo was there, and Yun Niang timidly raised her eyes to look at him.

Zhang Juzheng: "I can't delay any longer, I'll send you away." So saying, he walked to the front hall door and opened it for them.

Yun Niang hurriedly picked up the burden and picked up the piano bag again.

Gao Hanwen's eyes immediately looked at the piano bag, Yun Niang seemed to see the faint flames from his pupils, trembled, slowly put the piano bag back on the table, and walked to Gao Hanwen with only the baggage.

Gao Hanwen walked to the table and picked up the piano bag: "Let's go." He walked straight out the door.

Yun Niang's eyes were so moved, and she followed him out.

Zhang Juzheng sighed lightly and stepped out of the door.

In the Ming Dynasty, the three law divisions, the real official yamen still belonged to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Whether it is the annual performance appraisal of officials at all levels or the supervision of the official conduct of the yamen at all levels, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has the power to directly participate in impeachment and picket. In addition to the imperial history of the left and right capitals and the imperial history of the deputy capital, the general imperial history is also the third level of the official university.

Today is the sixteenth day of the first month of the 41st year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, that is, the beginning of the real new year. At this time, the lobby was already full of gauze hats, and the red robes were dazzling.

Unlike previous years, the camps of those who came today were very distinct. Ye Bo and Wan Yu led a group of officials to stand on the left, and another group of officials stood on the right, no one looked at anyone, and there was silence in the lobby.

Another point is completely different from previous years, the first person to speak today is not the imperial history of the Imperial Palace, but the high arch. He stood beside Du Yushi and looked at the chief and deputy hall officials standing on both sides: "Some of you adults may already know, maybe some of you don't know, Zou Yinglong, the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yan Song, Yan Shifan's father and son, who abused power and misled the country, have been approved!" ”

Twenty years of strict party iceberg in one fell swoop, although there was a rumor early in the morning, those who are not strict party are still suspicious, and those who attach to the strict party are lucky, and now they hear the announcement of the high arch in the hall, it is tantamount to the grace of heaven, thunder and explosion!

The countless pairs of eyes of those officials standing on the right immediately cast their eyes, excited and excited!

Ye Bo and Wan Yu led the officials standing on the left to hang their heads, their faces were ashen, frightened and dazed!

Gao Gong: "By order, Gao has come to read a piece of Zou Yinglong's recital to you. Speaking of this, he took out a notebook from his sleeve, turned to the second page, and read aloud, "The father and son of Shifan are greedy and excessive, and they are thorny, and the government is bribed, and the official is bribed. All the small and big officials in the Quartet do not exhaust the people's fat and ointment, peel the people's skin and bones, and the outside wants to respond to their insatiable demands, and the inside wants to pay for their own purchase of officials, so that the people are safe and poor? National security is inexhaustible? Is the natural and man-made disaster police safe? After reading out, Gao Gong's eyes were blazing, "I remember that when the Yan father and son killed Yang Gong Jisheng and Shen Liangong, they openly shouted, 'Let him burn the prairie fire, he has his own East China Sea!'" Today, the waters of the East China Sea have finally drowned the traitorous father and son! 'The Four Commandments of Yuezhong', 'The Three Sons of Wuwu', and countless loyal spirits in the sky can be comforted! Speaking of this, Gao Gong arched his hands high, and his eyes were already full of tears.

Suddenly, one of the non-strict party officials in the queue on the right burst into tears, and then everyone around him followed suit, and many fell to the ground crying.

Ye Bo, Wan Huan, and those people in the strict party were even more panicked, and the cry made them feel that the sky was about to fall!

Gao Gong then said loudly: "Command! All the officials of the imperial history and the yamen of the various ministries, who usually have knowledge of the crimes of the Yan Party, can immediately go to the court and participate in the impeachment! As for the officials of the ministries and offices of the two capitals and 13 provinces, those who usually rely on the strict party also hope that they will repent and fight back, and the court will be lenient as appropriate! ”

There was silence below.

Suddenly, a voice sounded: "May I ask Lord Gao, what crime are Yan Song and Yan Shifan convicted now?" Can the emperor dispose of it? The person who said this was Ye Bo.

Gao Gong's gaze stabbed at him: "I have said it just now, and it is being thoroughly investigated." ”

Wan Yu's voice rang out: "May I ask Lord Gao, Yan Song has served as the first assistant of the cabinet for twenty years, and most of the officials of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of my Ming Dynasty are based on Yan Song's votes. Gao Da said that he was attached to the strict party, but I don't know if this is also regarded as dependent on the strict party? ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was full of bangs. The non-Yan Party officials on the right have already formed countless pairs of quarrels in the hall around some Yan Party officials on the left:

"The unjust prison of the 'Four Edicts of Yuezhong' and the 'Three Sons of Wuwu', you are one of the judges! You are not a strict party, who is still a strict party! An official on the right pointed at Ye Bo and shouted.

Ye Bo spat on the ground: "When Yan Ge was eighty years old, I don't know who made the poem 'One Pillar Lifts the Great Tomorrow', isn't it Your Excellency?" With you, you also have the face to accuse me of being a strict party! ”

The official was so blushing by him that he blushed and held there.

Another official stood up and faced Ye Bo: "Yan Song's old thief has never congratulated him once on his sixty, seventy, and eighty birthdays. With me, I have the face to scold you traitor! ”

"Kill him! Avenge loyalty! Many of the officers on the right roared.

The official slapped Ye Bo in the face and sent his gauze hat flying far away. Immediately, countless people rushed up and pushed Ye Bo to the ground, beating him indiscriminately!

Another group of officials rushed to Wan Huan, grabbed him, and tore and beat him!

The crowd was divided into several groups, and many officials knocked down some strict party officials on the ground with fists and kicks!

Gao Gong stood there silently, staring at some of the officials in the Yan Party on the left who had not moved.

The officials shrank to the wall under the majestic gaze of the high arch, and stood there, not daring to move.

Although he has lived in the prosperous place of Beijing for a long time and is a very popular minister, Yan Song has several habits that have not changed for decades: first, he has a vegetable garden in the courtyard of the mansion, and in summer and autumn, he occasionally goes to the vegetable garden to water the water and fertilize, and he only eats vegetables in the vegetable garden of the mansion on his table; The second is that there are many chickens and ducks in a huge prime minister's mansion, and he has to hear the roosters in the mansion cry every night and early morning.

Perhaps, as the ancients said, there are good and bad things in heaven. The chickens in the Yan Mansion made a long cry from a rooster at the fourth watch, and then many roosters around the mansion crowed, and since then it has not stopped, and the sky has been bright and still rising and falling. It seems to know that the owner who likes them will not be able to hear them tomorrow.

Listening to the rooster crows everywhere, the two stewards of the Yan Mansion leaned in front of them, and the secretaries of the two cabinets followed obliquely on both sides of the back, Xu Jie walked from the stone road to the steps outside the door of Yan Song's study and couldn't help but stop.

The door of the study was open, and in front of a large pot of charcoal, Yan Song sat on a recliner with a fox skin blanket on his knees, approached the lamp on his side, and held a book and looked at it.

A strict government steward who led the way: "Elder Xu Ge, please come in." ”

Xu Jie: "Do you understand the rules?" Let's go and report first. ”

The steward: "Elder Yan Ge already knows that you are old......

Xu Jie's face sank: "Brief!" ”

The steward hurriedly climbed the steps and said loudly by the door: "Elder Ge, Elder Xu Pavilion has arrived!" ”

Yan Song put down the book in his hand: "Help me up." ”

The steward walked in and went to help Yan Song.

"Don't get up, sit down." Xu Jie had already walked in quickly, gently held his arm beside him, and then sat down on the chair beside him, looking at the steward who was still standing there, "Xiaofeng is so cold, why is the door open?" Go out and close the door. ”

"Yes." The steward went out and closed the door.

Xu Jie turned his head and found Yan Song looking at him with blank eyes.

"Elder Ge should know everything, right?" Xu Jie asked with his eyes lowered.

"It's all there." Yan Song still looked at him and replied.

Xu Jie took out a book from his sleeve: "This is the Imperial History of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Palace, Zou Yinglong, and their recitals, the emperor asked me to bring it and ask the elder to take a look." ”

Yan Song took the notebook, still looking at Xu Jie: "Has Xu Ge read it?" ”

Xu Jie: "I also saw it just now." ”

Yan Song's eyes showed a little smiling light: "If you look at it, I won't look at it." With that, he suddenly stretched out his old hand towards Xu Jie.

Xu Jie was stunned for a moment at first, and saw that Yan Song had been looking at him, and seeing that the hand covered with old age spots had been stretched out there, he also stretched out his hand.

Yan Songyi grabbed the back of his hand: "Everything is please, the pavilion is old." ”

The grip of people in their eighties was still so powerful, Xu Jie's hand was held tightly by him, and a feeling of nausea suddenly appeared in his heart, but his face was full of sympathy: "There are some things they have done too much in the East Building." Twenty years of prime minister, the elder has no merit and hard work, the emperor will not forget, and we will not forget. ”

Yan Song slowly withdrew his hand: "Elder Xu Ge's words made Yan feel relieved, and it made Yan feel guilty." There are too many people who have fallen at my hands for more than 20 years...... Be my deputy, you can survive until I fall, Xu Ge Lao, you are a rare and kind person. ”

Xu Jie's eyelids drooped.

Yan Song: "What should I do?" Will I go to prison, or will Xu Ge Lao escort me out of Beijing? ”

Xu Jie: "It shouldn't be." The emperor called me here to ask me to invite the elder into the palace. ”

Yan Song's ears were already recited, and at this time, half of them didn't hear clearly, and half of them didn't believe their ears: "The emperor is still willing to see me?" ”

Xu Jie raised his voice: "Yes." The emperor was still thinking about the old man last night. ”

Yan Song's eyes seemed to flash with tears, but he held back vividly, and his tone was still very calm: "Have you made an appointment?" ”

Xu Jie: "The emperor said that the elder can go whenever he wants." ”

Yan Song: "Then please wait a while." ”

Xu Jie looked at him.

Yan Song: "The emperor likes to eat Liuxinju's pickles. Every season, the new pickles of the old minister have to send a jar to the emperor. Today, on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, it should be dawn that the spring pickles will be sent to Liuxinju. This year, it seems that I dare not come. ”

Xu Jiejie suddenly remembered something, got up and walked to the door, and opened a door: "Someone!" ”

A bookstore immediately approached the door from the courtyard: "Go back to the old pavilion, the villain is here." ”

Xu Jie: "Let's take a look outside the mansion, is the person who delivers pickles from Liuxinju here?" If they don't come, go and pass on my word at once, urging them to bring in the freshly pickled pickles immediately. ”

"Yes." The clerk replied and ran out.

Yan Song's lips moved, and he looked at Xu Jie, who seemed to want to say something, but didn't say anything.

In about half an hour, twenty jars of pickles were carried here, occupying a large part of the courtyard.

The boss of the six-hearted house was a middle-aged man, and he was led here, but he didn't dare to go in, knelt in the courtyard and said loudly: "Xiaomin greets the elder of the pavilion." This year, there are a total of 20 jars of pickles pickled in the shop, and they are all sent by the order of the elder Ge. ”

As Yan Song expected, last night, the Criminal Department and the Zhenfu Division surrounded the mansions of Yan Shifan and several people, and it had spread all over the capital before dawn, if Xu Jie didn't send someone to spread the word, this boss would not send pickles to death today. Due to Xu Jie's summons, he had to come at this time. At this time, I saw Yan Song and Xu Jie, who were sitting in the study, and he said that "Pavilion Elder" was naturally good, and the usual "dedication to Pavilion Elder" was changed to "On the order of Pavilion Elder, they were all sent", this "Pavilion Elder" naturally refers to Xu Jie, which is even more correct. It's a shame that he was able to figure out these few difficult words at this time, and he finally said it well. After saying that, he knelt there with his head bowed and never moved again.

Yan Song also heard these words, and sat there blankly looking at the courtyard outside the door: "Is it Boss Zhao?" Come on in. ”

From here, it can be seen that the boss surnamed Zhao is still kneeling there, motionless.

Yan Song looked at Xu Jie: "He's afraid to see me." Elder Xu Ge, please call him in. ”

Xu Jie had no choice but to look out of the door: "Yan Ge Lao called you, didn't you hear it?" ”

"Yes." Then Boss Zhao answered, reluctantly got up, walked to the door, and refused to come in, so he knelt down there again.

"Boss Zhao." Yan Song called him again.

"Yes." Boss Zhao's answer to the word "in" was like a mosquito, but his head was still lowered there.

Xu Jie: "Pavilion Elder called you, look up and talk back!" ”

"Yes." Boss Zhao had to look up, but he only looked at Xu Jie, not Yan Song.

Yan Song still nagged: "It's been more than 20 years, it's hard for you to send me pickles several times a year." I remember you have said many times that you want me to write a plaque for your storefront, and I will write it to you today. ”

Boss Zhao immediately bowed his head and hurriedly replied: "Xiaomin has a small shop, which is the business of ordinary people, how dare you bother the inscription of the official's house." Don't dare. If the elder has nothing else to do, the people will say goodbye. He bowed his head as he spoke.

Yan Song smiled, laughed out of tears, and turned to look at Xu Jie: "Old Xu Ge, you have seen it, usually, how many people ask the old man for a word but can't get it." Now, the old man's words are given away in vain, and no one dares to ask for them. Go back, and the old man won't bother you to send pickles in the future. Do business well, the emperor also likes to eat your pickles. ”

Boss Zhao hurriedly kowtowed to the last one, got up, bowed his head and retreated.

"Someone." Yan Song's voice was full of anger.

One of his stewards came in, looking at him with a gloomy face.

Yan Song: "Pick a jar of eight-treasure pickles, I want to present it to the emperor." ”

In front of Jiajing's futon today, there is a small square table of Indian fine leaf red sandalwood that reveals red from the inside, and there are three pairs of bowls and chopsticks on the table: the bowl is the best of the Ru porcelain official kiln, which is the opening piece of pink celadon, thin as paper, at first glance a piece of blue, and a faint pink from the green is revealed. It is said that this pink celadon has only been out of one kiln in the Ru porcelain official kiln, which is a godsend, and after that, although the Ru kiln has also produced red, blue, and blue, it has never produced pink and blue. The three spoons in the bowl are also the best of the kiln, the outer glaze is plain white, but there is a faint yellow from the inside. At this time, the three spoons rested in the three bowls, like three oval moons floating in the pink water! The basket is ordinary, it is an ivory silver-inlaid basket, the silver on the tip of the basket is polished white and shiny, and the ivory of the body of the basket reveals a shiny yellow from the inside, mainly to pick it up and protect against poison.

Jiajing is still sitting on the futon, Yan Song is still sitting on the east side, and Xu Jie's is still sitting on the west side, just like the usual three-person seat.

Jiajing's gaze finally looked at Yan Song with complicated eyes. Yan Song lowered his head slightly, Xu Jie kept his head down, and both of them knew that this lord was about to sigh.

"The people are bitter." As usual, the heart of the sky is unpredictable, but Jiajing's exclamation is about the people, "I look forward to the New Year all year round, but the fifteenth day of the first month has passed in the blink of an eye." Today, many people are afraid that they won't even be able to see the oil star in their pots. Thinking of them, let's go vegetarian this time. Knowing that Elder Yan Ge would bring me eight treasure pickles today, I told the imperial chef last night and asked them to boil a pot of eight treasure porridge. Lu Fang, let's eat. ”

"Yes." Lu Fang's voice was lower than usual today, "Serve." ”

Two eunuchs were in front of them, carrying a red charcoal stove that had no smoke at all, and the pot of porridge sat on the stove, and was kneeled by the two eunuchs in front of the small square table.

Then eight maidens came in with a tray in their hands, and when they came in, all four knelt down on either side of the door. There was only a small plate of pickles on each tray, and they were so quick to divide all the pickles from the jar.

Lu Fang walked to the pot of porridge first, picked up the spoon and stirred, and then scooped up a spoonful.

The two eunuchs carrying the porridge knelt there, each took out a small shallow dish from his arms, held it with both hands, and Lu Fang poured half of the spoonful of porridge into the small plate of the eunuch on the left, and half into the small plate of the eunuch on the right.

The two eunuchs held the dishes and brought the porridge to their mouths and drank it.

Lu Fang looked at them for another moment: "Let's go out." ”

The two eunuchs bowed and withdrew.

Lu Fang then walked to the palace maid, picked up a pair of chopsticks from the first tray on the left, took out a piece of pickles from that plate and put it on the side of the tray, and then walked in turn, taking out a piece of pickles from each plate and placing it on the side of each tray.

The eight palace maids all lowered their heads and ate the pickles on the edge of their respective trays.

Only then did Lu Fang bring a plate of pickles to the small table.

Lu Fang: "Let's all go out." ”

Eight palace maids: "Yes." He got up and bowed out.

Lu Fang first picked up the bowl in front of Jiajing, put two spoonfuls of porridge into the bowl, just left two points away from the edge of the bowl, held it in front of Jiajing and put it on the table with both hands, and then went to take Yan Song's bowl.

Yan Song immediately stood up: "Don't dare to bear it, let me do it myself." ”

Xu Jie also stood up at this time: "Yan Ge and mine will let me come to Sheng." ”

"Sit down." Jiajing spoke, "Don't look at so many people calling him the ancestor, here he is a minion." You are my ministers. Let him sheng. ”

Yan Song and Xu Jie sat down lightly again.

Lu Fang served porridge to both Yan Song and Xu Jie.

Jiajing picked up the spoon in the bowl and scooped half a spoonful to his mouth.

"Hot. The master drank slowly. Lu Fang beckoned.

Jiajing sent half a spoonful of porridge in, but put it in his mouth and swallowed it slowly for a while.

Yan Song and Xu Jie picked up the spoon and scooped half a spoonful of porridge into their mouths.

Jiajing looked at them: "There is no excess of liquid for health preservation. Swallow it in your mouth first, draw out the liquid, and then swallow it, and you can live forever. ”

The porridge of the two people was in their mouths at this time, and they had to reply, and the word "yes" was answered vaguely, and they also imitated Jiajing who took the half spoonful of porridge in his mouth for a while before swallowing it.

Jiajing also stopped talking, and the three of them drank porridge silently. After a while, most of the bowl of porridge in front of Jiajing, Yan Song, and Xu Jie bottomed out. I also ate some of the eight pickles, and there was still most of the left in each plate.

Lu Fang gave Jiajing's bowl another half bowl of porridge, and then picked up Yan Song's bowl.

"Thank you, Grandpa Lu, the old man is enough." Yan Song stretched out his hand to cover the bowl and turned to look at Jiajing, "Playing the Holy Lord, the guilty minister has a few words that he wants to play to the Holy Lord alone." ”

Jiajing looked at him for a while, and seemed to see his thoughts from his eyes, so he turned to look at Xu Jie and Lu Fang.

Xu Jie stood up silently and retreated.

Then, Lu Fang also retreated and closed the door.

Yan Song slowly stood up and took out a piece of silk from his sleeve, which was densely written with people's names in red.

Jiajing didn't take the silk, but looked at Yan Song.

Yan Song: "The old minister is guilty, and the crime lies with the minister." The ministers are guilty, and the sin lies in Yan Shifan, Luo Longwen, Yan Maoqing, and some greedy and insatiable people. Some people deserve to be punished by heaven, and some people hope that the emperor will be safe! With that, he handed the piece of silk with both hands.

Jiajing had to take it, took it and looked at it silently - the first name was prominently written Hu Zongxian! And then there are many more names at the bottom.

Yan Song continued: "The criminal minister has been in charge for twenty years, and many people have to go through the door of the criminal minister, but the criminal minister does not have so many private parties. Some criminals are used by the emperor as national soldiers, and they shoulder the safety of my Ming Dynasty and the heavy responsibility of my Ming Dynasty. Some people are still serving as the emperor's envoys, and many things are for them to do, and only they can do them. ”

"Got it." Jiajing stuffed the piece of silk into the placket of his clothes, and then picked up the chime and pestle and knocked on the copper chime.

Xu Jie and Lu Fang came in again. The two men were apprehensive in their hearts, but they did not show any sound on their faces, and when they came in, they both stood there.

Jiajing no longer asked Xu Jie to take a seat, but looked at Yan Song: "Yan Song." ”

Yan Song: "The sinner is here." ”

Jiajing looked at him: "I heard that you want to give the Liuxinju inscription plaque this morning, but the boss doesn't want it, is there such a thing?" ”

You can't hide anything from this emperor, this is what everyone knows. But he actually knew about this little matter so quickly, and when he mentioned it at this time, Xu Jie and Lu Fang immediately expected that there would be another stone paving street!

Yan Song immediately had telepathy, his eyes brightened a lot, and he looked at Jiajing: "Back to the emperor, there is indeed such a thing." Human. ”

"I don't like that." Jiajing quickly took over the conversation, "Lu Fang, prepare pen and ink, let Yan Ge Lao write here, and then stamp my treasure seal and send it to the pickle shop, they can carve it out today and hang it tomorrow morning." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, not only Yan Song's heart was agitated, but Xu Jie's surprise was great, and even Lu Fang felt a little sudden.

"You're all set." Lu Fang was always able to adapt to Jiajing's sudden change at the first time, and replied immediately.

All sizes of high-quality rice paper in the fine house are always available, Lu Fang immediately took out a piece of rice paper cut into banners from the cabinet next to the wall and placed it on the imperial case, and the ink in the inkstone box was also soaked in high-quality silk cotton, and then it was put on the incense burner and roasted slightly, and it melted.

After doing this, Lu Fang said to Yan Song: "Elder Yan Ge, please." ”

Yan Song was a little unable to take a step at this time, Xu Jie walked over and walked to the side of the imperial case with him in his arms.

Lu Fang also blanched the bucket pen in warm water and handed it to Yan Song.

Jiajing also slowly walked to the side of the imperial case and looked at Yan Song's inscription.

Holding the pen, Yan Song gathered his energy, dipped the ink in the inkstone, and looked at Jiajing again.

Jiajing's eyes were full of encouragement: "Write." ”

"Yes." Yan Song held the side of the desk with his left hand, and condensed the strength of his whole body with his right hand, and wrote down the word "six" with one stroke.

"The sword is not old. Keep writing. Jiajing encouraged again.

Yan Song then wrote a horizontal, then a skimm, and a little more - the word "six" is so full and powerful!

"Good!" This admiration, Xu Jie's voice was very sincere when he called out.

Jiajing glanced at Xu Jie, revealing an appreciative look.

Yan Song dipped himself in ink again, and wrote the word "heart" in one go.

There was no distraction in his heart, Yan Song dipped in ink again and wrote the last word "residence"!

The three characters were full of ink, including Jiajing, Xu Jie's and Lu Fang's eyes fell on the words, and there was silence in the house.

Yan Song raised his head again and looked at Jiajing.

Xu Jie and Lu Fang also quietly looked at Jiajing.

Jiajing still looked at the painting, silent.

"It's all good." Jiajing finally spoke, "It's just that the word 'heart' is not good." ”

Yan Song: "The sinner rewrites." ”

Jiajing: "It's not that the words are bad, but the name is not good." Why is it written as 'Six Hearts'? ”

Yan Song: "Back to the emperor, this shop was opened by six brothers surnamed Zhao, so it was named 'Liuxinju'. ”

Jiajing: "Six people have six hearts, this is not good." People's hearts are like water, and the people are like smoke. I am now 60 million people, and according to their thoughts, that is 60 million hearts. I will come up with an idea for you, add a skimming to the word 'heart', and change the word 'heart' to the word 'must'! Six-in-one, the world is one heart! ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" Xu Jie was the first to kneel down beside Jiajing.

Yan Song couldn't hold back any longer, tears finally oozed from his eyes, and he was about to kneel down while holding the imperial case.

"No need to kneel." Jiajing stopped him, "Change it." ”

"Yes." Yan Song held the imperial case with his left hand, stretched out the pen into the ink cartridge with his right hand and dipped it in ink, probed, held his breath, and wrote a thick stroke in the middle of the word 'heart'!

"Good! Stamp my badge! Jiajing said loudly.

"Yes." Lu Fang went to the altar and brought over the three immortal seals of Jiajing's self-styled immortals, "Master Qi, which treasure seal to use?" ”

"Be loyal to your ministers, and be filial to your sons. Just use the treasure seal of 'Loyal and Filial Emperor'. Jiajing said.

"Master Shengming." Lu Fang put down the box containing the imperial seal, took out the medal of "Loyal and Filial Emperor Imperial Reward" from both hands, walked to the letter, printed it heavily in the cinnabar ink box, and then stretched it out to his mouth and took a breath, and covered it upright on the upper right side of the banner.
