.Chapter 817: Picture of Poverty (Part 1)
"What are you panic!" Seeing Zhang Juzheng's soulless appearance, Xu Jie shouted softly: "Those who accomplish great things will collapse in front of Mount Tai and not change color, and the axe blade will not panic. I'm panic-in, how can I give you the burden with confidence!"
"The student was wrong..." What Zhang Juzheng feared most was that Xu Jie would "lost the car to protect the coach" and even abandon him. Now he didn't have this meaning yet, so he let go of his heart and said, "I will never again." As he said that, he lifted the bottom of his robe and knelt in front of Xu Jie and said, "I'll ask the teacher to save him for the last time..."
"Let me think about it first..." Xu Jie didn't look at him, but just leaned on the recliner, feeling deeply tired.
"Let me find Eunuch Chen, only he can help you at this time." I didn't know whether to take a break or think about it, but Zhang Juzheng knew that his situation was really not optimistic. His family knew his family affairs, and once Meng Chong and Teng Xiang really got it, he would have really had a big deal. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to Xu Jie for help as soon as he heard the news...
"It's useless to find him. No matter how bold Chen Hong is, he dares not tamper with his confession." Xu Jie shook his head slowly and said, "He owes me a favor once, and it's not time to use it."
"Then..." Zhang Juzheng's heart skipped a beat and he whispered: "Are you just waiting like that?"
"Isn't it still a night? Let me take a break first and think about it..." Xu Jie slowly closed his eyes. This was the imperial case, so the case file had passed through the cabinet and was sent directly to the liexi sect. But Longqing was an emperor who would not be more powerful. He had already met Mr. Xu today and issued an oral order. Even if he fulfilled his obligations, he would definitely not worry about state affairs that day, so as not to affect the quality of honey collection. As a close minister of the emperor, the people in the cabinet naturally knew this iron rule.
Seeing that Old Xu was pretending to be dead, Zhang Juzheng had to tiptoe out with a heavy and complicated mood and return to his duty room in a drowsy mood.
After entering the house, Zhang An brought hot water to ask the master to wash his face and hands... Zhang Juzheng is a very particular person. Every time he comes in from outside, the first thing he must do is to wash his face and hands. If he doesn't go out, he will even wash his hair.
So Zhang An put the basin on the shelf as usual and said respectfully: "Please cleanse your hands."
Who knew that the answer to him was Zhang Juzheng who shouted angrily: "Who asked you to come in!"
Zhang An stood there holding the water, at a loss for a moment.
"Get out!" Zhang Juzheng shouted softly, kicking over the basin stand. As he slammed, his whole body was wet.
Zhang An wanted to wipe him water, but saw that the master's face was no longer as calm as before. Instead, he was frightened by the ferocious look he had never seen before. He was so scared that he didn't dare to do anything. He got out and crawled out, but fortunately he had not forgotten to close the door.
Zhang Juzheng didn't even look at the bad luck on the ground. He took two steps back in a daze, sat on the chair, leaning back on the back of the chair, and then did not move. His eyes seemed to be looking at the palace lanterns on the roof, but after a closer look, his eyes were actually not focal, and he didn't even know what he was looking at.
What happened today was extremely cruel to Zhang Juzheng's confidence... Although he had realized his weakness before, he would only accept this reality physically and mentally after he was truly accustomed to his opponent.
It turns out that I have always regarded myself as a character too much; it turns out that the opponent wants to kill me is as simple as pinching an ant to death; it turns out that I have never been the protagonist, I am just a pitiful chess piece on the chessboard... Even if I don’t believe in fate or accept my fate, even if I struggle to resist, I can’t escape the fate of being randomly tricked.
For such a proud person, what is more painful than taking his life is to accept his humility. That kind of indescribable pain can tear a person apart, either fall into it or be completely changed... But at this moment, no one knows which path he will go.
But tears, the hot tears, slid down his cheeks, flowed down his neck, and all the way to his heart.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Qipan Hutong, Chenfuqian study room, the atmosphere here is very different from that of the cabinet.
"I can't help but praise Hai Rui." After learning the results of the interrogation, Shen Mingchen swept away the haze for several days and said with a smile: "But I'm afraid that my literary talent is not enough to describe his excellence! So I decided to use the five masters of Jia Dao instead." As he said that, he couldn't help looking at Chen Mo and Wang Yin and said: "Both of you guess which poem is it."
"Do you still need to guess?" Wang Yin said with a 'you're so novice' expression: "I'll just sharpen my sword for ten years."
"Yes, that's that!" Shen Mingchen ignored his ridicule, stood up and said with a full emotion, and said in a loud voice: "I have been sharpening a sword for ten years, but the Frost Blade has never been tried. Today, I am the king, who is injustice? He is the sharp blade of my country in the Ming Dynasty!" After saying that, he said with great excitement: "There are so many Jinshi Hanlin in the Ming Dynasty, all of which are not as good as this Juren who came from the ends of the world! When Xu Jie recommended him, I was still worried. Now I finally convinced. I really have the wisdom to know others!"
Chen Si just opened the lid of the cup and was about to serve the bowl to drink tea. Seeing that he was so excited, he gently put the tea bowl down and looked at Shen Mingchen and said, "Ju Zhang, don't be too excited for now. What is the result? I'll talk about it now."
"There are two more things to say?" Shen Mingchen also looked silent and said, "Even if there is no evidence to point to Zhang Juzheng, Li Chunfang's crime has been confirmed now. As long as he takes advantage of the victory and pursues it, he is still worried about dragging Zhang Juzheng out?"
"Have you forgotten that Lord has just submitted a memorial to protect Li Chunfang?" Wang Yin also spoke, "How can you turn your back on your face and stab him again?"
"There is evidence!" Shen Mingchen said anxiously.
"Do you have those silver notes?" Wang Yin sneered: "He has just passed the hand. I even suspect that this was the pit he and Rishenglong dug, so I waited for Zhang Juzheng to jump in."
"Then he is not just a bird!" Shen Mingchen spat: "The general was tortured so miserably, he couldn't escape."
Mo said lightly: "There is no good bird that has been involved in this time. Everyone is responsible for the death of the Grandmaster," he paused and whispered: "Of course, I also include."
"Sir..." Shen Mingchen lowered his head with a complicated expression: "You were forced."
"It's all my own people, so there's no need to whitewash me," said a silent voice coldly: "I can also tell you that the letter from Wang Tingxiang and Li Chunfang to Wanlun was in my hands from the beginning..."
"Ah..." Shen Mingchen widened his eyes and said, "What's going on for this round?" In an instant, Hai Rui's credit was greatly disappointed in his heart, making him feel fooled, and his breath gradually became rough: "If you take it out directly, you still need Hai Rui and the others to try your best to review it. Do you want to dig it out?"
"These are two things." Wang Yin said, "If the adults don't have these two letters, Hai Rui and the others will not be able to review them so smoothly. These two letters are like big killing weapons, which shock them not to act rashly, and can only passively wait for the adults to take action." He paused, "The so-called deterrent force is the power that has not been played. If these two cards are played, it may not be able to achieve the expected effect."
Shen Mingchen is not a stupid person, but his eyes were blinded by hatred, which made Wang Yin understand... Yes, silent holds iron evidence in his hand and does not send it, undoubtedly gives his opponent a signal that he does not want to break completely. It is precisely because of this kind of luck that Xu Jie and others have the fantasy of being able to resolve peacefully, which seems so slow and passive. In fact, they are waiting for the silent price to be offered!
The military strategy is to "build a plank road openly and secretly overcome Chen Cang" and "silence is the opposite way, and a 'the real thing is the real thing, and the real thing is the real thing." When the other party believed that he would solve the problem privately, he completed the goal through Hai Rui's frontal battlefield, which made everyone slow to predict... When he tried to protect Li Chunfang and used his relationship with the emperor to make Meng Chong and Teng Xiang be tried outside the palace, he was considered to have a thorough understanding. At this time, Xu Jie finally realized that the real purpose of silence was to completely end Zhang Juzheng!
Xu Jie's reaction was extremely fast. If he hadn't been too confident, he was still thinking about "Awakening Eagle". I'm afraid Hai Rui and the others would not have time to ask for confessions. But history has no assumptions. Hai Rui completed the interrogation at a magical speed, and finally forced Xu Jie to swallow this bitter fruit!
Such a situation that is easy to control and fully grasp is obviously a hundred times better than the beginning of the bayonet, resulting in no turning point.
After understanding this, Shen Mingchen apologized to Chen Mo in shame.
Silently smiled and said, "It's right that you get angry. I really feel ashamed of the Grandmaster..." He said seriously, "Do you still remember those two words I wrote? For this impossible task, I have to do a lot of things against my will. You have to rely on you to cheer me up from time to time so that I will not be fascinated by art and fall into the evil path."
"Sir, I can speak..." Shen Mingchen felt even more embarrassed. The boss blushed at the age of age: "As long as you haven't forgotten your original intention, let alone let Li Chunfang go, even if you let someone named Zhang go, I won't complain again."
"How could I forget?" said silently: "From the beginning to the end, everything I did is for that goal!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The small team unified the understanding, eliminated impulses and misunderstandings, and restored the harmonious atmosphere again.
"So, let's not move Li Chunfang for now?" Shen Mingchen asked calmly this time.
"Every time," Chen Mo also walked out of self-blame, shook his head slowly and said, "It depends on the emperor's attitude. If the emperor wants to protect Zhang Juzheng, I will protect Li Chunfang... If the emperor does not protect Zhang, I will not care about Li."
"So how big is the one who protects Zhang after the emperor has read the case file?" Shen Mingchen asked.
"Large..." Chen Si said softly: "Zhang Juzheng entered the Prince Yu's Mansion before me. After I, Chen Yiqin and Yin Shizhan left the Prince's Mansion, he still served as the Prince's Mansion's lecturer and spent the longest time now." He paused: "Zhang Juzheng did not move forward again in the new dynasty of Longqing, and Jian Te entered the cabinet. Although it was the result of Xu Ge Lao's strong recommendation, he also took advantage of the feelings for him today."
Shen Mingchen frowned and said, "If you don't take down Zhang Juzheng, how can you lead the one behind him?"
"This is why I want to protect Li Chunfang." Chen Si picked up the teacup and sipped it lightly: "Not only do I want to protect Li Chunfang, but I also want to protect Wang Tingxiang, Huang Guangsheng and Mr. Xu from abandoned children, I don't want any of them, let them stay on the chessboard."
"Wouldn't that be a waste of work?" Shen Mingchen said in confusion, fortunately, he didn't jump up this time.
"How could I be in vain?" Wang Yin said lightly: "Justice is in the hearts of the people... What the emperor thinks, what the officials think, and even what the people think, are all extremely important."
"Yes," Chen Si put down the teacup and said, "What we want is this human heart. What we want is the fate of heaven to stay or leave! What I want to do is to deceive the master and destroy the ancestors, and only if the human heart is on me can there be a chance, otherwise even if we seek death... it is not like this way of death."
"To put it bluntly, it means that the lord has taken the initiative," Shen Mingchen pondered, "but he shows people the image of sadness and grievance everywhere. If you feel sad, Xu Jie will be blackened, until he turns into Xishan coal, and you can win without a fight... Is that what does that mean?"
"There is no more clever sentence!" Wang Yin praised: "The words are rough but not rough."
"Don't hurt me, I'll realize it later, and I'm still smart." Shen Mingchen said depressedly, and suddenly looked at the silent with gloating pleasure: "It's a test of the adult's acting skills."
"It doesn't matter," Chen Si said lightly: "I have read "Actor's Self-cultivation."
"It's so complicated to read books," the two aides thought it was produced by Suzhou Tongshi Translation Bureau.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Deciding a plan is just the first step. Every link must be carefully considered one by one when the whole plan becomes an action. As the saying goes, "Calculate more and lose less, calculate less and lose more." In order to improve the success rate of the plan, you can only put in such a hard work.
Every step of silence came through like this. The strategists had long been accustomed to this time-consuming and laborious task. The three of them used their supper in the study and were busy until the second half of the night before they were finished.
With his red eyes, Shen Mingchen stretched his waist tiredly and said, "Everyone hurry up and go back to rest, everyone is almost dead."
Wang Yin looked at the silence and suddenly smiled and said, "Sir, can you rest?"
"It's probably because I can't rest. I'll just take a look here for a while." Chen Si said to Shen Mingchen again: "When I went out, tell them to prepare a soup squad for me and arrange a warm sedan chair."
"Where are you going?" Shen Mingchen said strangely.
"Prepare, maybe you want to enter the palace." Silent smiled. Before he finished speaking, a report came from outside the door: "Sir, someone from the palace is here, please enter the palace immediately!"
Shen Mingchen was completely convinced and replied loudly: "I understand!"
Wang Yin sighed and said, "The Emperor has made an exception."
Silently nodded, and said calmly: "Change me."
