Chapter 764

When you first returned to the palace from Dayu Mountain, Emperor Wanli was furious. You Shen Shixing, Xu Xuemo, one was the chief minister of the cabinet, and the other was the Minister of Rites. In the thousands of thousands of lucky soil you have chosen, you found a huge stone that was ten thousand years old. Do you want me to sleep in a place with unlucky feng shui in a hundred years?

Now, Emperor Wanli has regained his rationality. He has the same personality as his grandfather Emperor Jiajing: suspicious.

The groundbreaking ceremony was about to dig out a stone in front of me? This stone was born too local, right?

Emperor Wanli remembered a sentence that He Liu of the Jinyiwei often said: There are no real coincidences in this world, only the illusion of coincidences.

Let’s look at the memorials of Jiang Dongzhi, Li Zhi and Yang Keli on the Long Case. He had a hunch that the big stone should be related to these three people.

Emperor Wanli decided to keep the memorials of these three people first and not send them out.

Unexpectedly, these three memorials were just introductions! Jiang, Li and Yang jumped up and down, contacting their former censors and colleagues in the Censorate. When impeached Shen Shixing, Xu Xuemo's memorial flew to Yongshou Palace like snowflakes. There was a great momentum that Xu and Xu would never give up until they participated in the defeat of Shen.

In fact, the censors did not have any great grudges against Shen Shixing. The reason why they scolded Shen Shixing indignantly was both simple and simple: they wanted to be promoted.

The hard-working qualification in the Censorate is considered fast to upgrade to one level in three years. It’s different to curse people. If you curse yourself well, you can be promoted to several levels. Jiang, Li and Yang are their role models. At the beginning, these three people scolded Zhang Juzheng for being outstanding, and they jumped several levels.

Emperor Wanli's head hurts a little. He hates these censors who buzz like flies and are so irritating that they are toothless to be with them. There are two reasons. First, since ancient times, all wise monarchs have been able to accept advice. Only foolish monarchs can punish censors. Emperor Wanli cannot punish these flies if they want to be wise monarchs; second, Shen Shixing is indeed a loss. He supervised the Wannian Jirang project, and Jirang's site selection was the last decision. He dug a huge rock in Jirang in full view of everyone, which is unreasonable.

Yongshou Palace Hall.

Emperor Wanli looked at the memorial of impeachment by Shen Shixing and Xu Xuemo in front of the Long case. He Liu stood in front of him.

Emperor Wanli said: "He Liu, the stone dug out of Wannian Jiyuan is a bit strange."

He Liuxin understood: "Your Majesty, I will investigate now."

Emperor Wanli said: "Well. Go and check it out. Remember, Shougong Shen is my humeral minister. I don't want him to be drowned by the censors because of this strange big stone."

He Liu left Yongshou Palace and rode his horse straight out of the capital and headed straight to Shenji Camp in the suburbs of Beijing.

At the gate of Shenji Camp, dozens of soldiers patrolling the ward stop He Liu.

He Liu showed his waist card: "I am He Liu, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and I will discuss with you, Dashui Fu, if you have something important to do."

The soldiers on the patrol did not dare to neglect and quickly led He Liu into the camp.

When Fu Hanling saw He Liu, he kowtowed without saying a word: "Hanling pays homage to benefactor!"

He Liu hurriedly said, "Get up quickly. You are now the commander-in-chief of Shenji Camp and the former general of the army. How can I bear this bow?"

Fu Hanling stood up and said, "Sixth Master, what's your business to come to Shenji Camp this time?"

He Liudao: "This is not a place to talk. Let's go to your handsome tent."

The two entered the handsome tent. He Liu asked, "Before the construction of Jilan in Wannianji, the Dayu Mountain was guarded by three thousand soldiers from your Shenji Camp, right?"

Fu Hanling nodded: "Yes, Master Six."

He Liudao: "On the day of the construction ceremony, a huge rock was dug out from the hillside of Dayu Mountain. Do you already know this?"

Fu Hanling nodded: "I know this. I also heard that the censors and clerks in the capital used this matter to jointly submit a memorial to the Chief Minister Shen."

He Liudao: "Han Ling, we are our own family. I don't have to hide it in front of our own family. That's right, I suspect that the huge rock was smuggled to the hillside. They deliberately wanted the minister Shen and Xu Butang to make a fool of themselves at the groundbreaking ceremony."

Fu Hanling shook his head repeatedly: "Impossible! My three thousand brothers surrounded Dayu Mountain into an iron barrel. Those who have ulterior motives will definitely have no chance to smuggle the huge rocks into Dayu Mountain and bury them underground."

He Liu smiled and said, "Nothing is absolutely true. What if someone bribed your generals?"

Fu Hanling said: "Impossible Sixth Master. My fence is very reliable, and no one dares to rob the inside."

He Liudao: "The fence is solid? Let me ask you, the fence of the Jinyiwei is not as reliable as your Shenjiying? During the Jiajing period, Liu Da still appeared, and Lu Fang, who defected to the eunuch party, gave birth to nine sons, and the nine sons are still different. People's hearts are separated from their belly. There are 30,000 soldiers in Shenjiying, and 300 military officers with sixth rank or above. You cannot guarantee that all 300 military officers are loyal to you."

Fu Hanling thought for a moment: "What Liu Master said is that people's hearts are always separated from their belly. The plates of Shenjiying are too big, so there are inevitably one or two rotten eggs."

He Liu asked: "Who is responsible for the guardian of Dayu Mountain?"

Fu Hanling replied: "It's Deputy General Xu Yingtang. This person is my old subordinate when he was the deputy general in Datongwei, and he is extremely reliable. We are brothers who share life and death on the battlefield. He will never do anything bad on my back."

He Liudao: "Well, you let Xu Yingtang come to the prestigious account."

After a cup of tea, a dark man wearing a deputy general's uniform entered the handsome tent.

Fu Hanling introduced: "Sixth Master, this is Xu Yingtang, deputy general of Shenji Camp. Deputy General Xu, this is He Liu, Jinyiwei."

Xu Yingtang quickly bowed to He Liu: "I will hear the name of Liu Master for a long time. I will be lucky to see him today."

He Liudao: "If you are polite, please spare me. Deputy General Xu, I ask you, Shenji Camp was ordered to guard Dayu Mountain. Have you been staring at Dayu Mountain for these days?"

Xu Yingtang replied: "Report to the Sixth Master, a while ago, the Governor's Office and the Ministry of War jointly issued a military order. We asked our Shenji Camp to dispatch 3,000 soldiers to guard Dayu Mountain. Since receiving the military order, I have been in Dayu Mountain."

He Liu asked: "If someone uses a big cart to transport a huge rock one meter high into Dayu Mountain, can you and your brothers notice it?"

Xu Yingtang hurriedly said, "Sixth Master, it's impossible! Dayu Mountain is dangerous and has a statue of tigers and dragons. There are only three passes that can enter the mountain. These three passes are guarded by our heavy troops. Not to mention a big cart, even a mouse cannot enter!"

He Liu frowned: "Oh? Three passes? Heavy troops guarding?"

Xu Yingtang seemed to remember something. He said, "Sixth Master, a strange thing happened six days ago at night. A ghost broke out near the Eagle Claw Pass on the east side of Dayu Mountain."

He Liu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "The night six days ago? Wasn't it the eve of the groundbreaking ceremony? Haunted? How can you make a fuss? Tell me carefully!"

Xu Yingtang poured beans into bamboo tubes and told He Liu in detail the haunted storm that had been six days ago.
