.As soon as Li Shizhen withdrew, Emperor Jiajing immediately changed his face and said to Masen: "Go and check, are there any bastards who are cumbling outside?" Emperor Xin was suspicious and was deeply furious that Chen Si could invite Li Shizhen in prison.

Ma Sen quickly took the order, but the Shen family had already ordered all the people in the East Factory. They had short hands and short mouths. Without any chance of anything, no one could say anything... Besides, Ma Sen himself had received 50,000 taels of silver notes secretly sent to the outside house by the Shen family, so of course he would not ask hard.

In fact, even if there is no such money, no one will make a sound. After all, the imperial prison is full of energy and knows each other's roots. No one is clean. It is certain that they pull out the radish and bring out the mud. So as long as they are not caught, no one will be confessed no matter how lively the investigation is.

After making some tricks in the Dongjishi Factory yamen, Ma Sen reported to Jiajing early the next morning: "No one was allowed to visit silence, nor did he convey anything. In the past half month, silence has indeed been isolated from the world."

Jiajing was confused and said, "Why did Li Shizhen say that he came to him in silence?"

"There is only one possibility." For the sake of 50,000 taels of silver bills, Masen Gang said silently: "It was he who sent someone to find him before the New Year."

"Is that..." Jiajing fell into silence. Before and after the New Year, even if it was only one day away, the difference would be huge... If it was before the New Year, it would be a silent heart of loyalty and filial piety, which could be used to see the sun and the moon; if it was after the New Year, the power of this person had reached the point of shocking the Emperor's Que, and it would not be enough to calm my heart without killing it.

Now the evidence points to Zhongxiao, but the content of "Journey to the West" circulates in Jiajing's mind. Chen Si and Hai Rui are like the master and apprentice who are seeking scriptures. The former is a seemingly loyal monk, and the latter is a detestable monk, but no matter what, both of them are united and sing opposites to the emperor and Taoist priests above.

In fact, except for this time, the rest of the performances can be regarded as consistent loyalty, but why should I recommend this rebellious "Journey to the West"?

Should I believe him? Jiajing's heart was full of entanglement. At this time, the outside world reported that Xu Jie, the chief assistant of the cabinet, asked for a meeting.

Although he didn't want to see these ministers at all, it was not a solution to always hide. Jiajing's face changed and he vomited a turbid air at the heaviest and said, "Xuan." But he still put down the pearl curtain.

Xu Jie went to the hall and kowtowed, Jiajing gave him a seat and asked, "The Chief Auxiliary is here, what's wrong."

Xu Jie had just gotten on Jindun on his butt. When he heard the emperor's question, he quickly stood up and said, "Report to Your Majesty, how should the case of Hai Rui, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, be tried, please tell me."

"How to examine it." As soon as Hai Rui was mentioned, Jiajing's eyes were extremely cold and cold, "I have to read it every day in the past few days. The beast scolded me for saying that message, do you want to read it again?"

Resentment penetrated through the bead curtain and pierced Xu Jie's bones and whizzed in the wind. He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Please forgive me for your crime."

"Who is forgiven for offending?" Jiajing said coldly: "Shu Hairui?"

"It's forgiving the old minister." Xu Jie said: "The memorial was too terrifying, and the old minister couldn't bear to read it again."

"Well said." Jiajing gritted his teeth and said, "Is it tolerable, who is not tolerant?" When he said this, his temples thrust and said inexplicably: "Your cabinet will work with the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate, the Dali Temple, the Examination Department, and the Punishment Department to review the results through the official report, so that the world can know that he is a bad beast without a king or a father! A bad beast!" After saying that, he gasped violently.

This is the Six Halls Trial. The Ming Dynasty has never had such a high standard, but thinking about it, he has never dared to point at his nose and insult the king's ministers. Since this can relieve the emperor's hatred, Xu Jie no longer objected.

"The Minister of War Jiang Dong Shangben retired and returned home. The cabinet has sent it back twice, but he is determined to leave. Please tell the emperor." Xu Jie went straight to the next door and said softly. He tried his best to decide if he could not bother the emperor. However, if such a major personnel change is so big that he would not dare to do so.

"Accurate." Jiajing said sadly: "Jiangdong has been guarding the border for the imperial court for decades, and he is indeed sick. Now that Yang Bo is back, he can take a break." As he said, he raised his tone and said: "Add to be granted the title of Jiangdong Young Master and Young Guardian, and he is awarded the title of Zhongjing Unparalleled, plaque, python robe, silver seal, and double-earned food. The rest of the treatment will be regarded as the example of a Grand Master of Resignation.

"My emperor is kind." Xu Jie said quickly: "The old minister thanked the Lord of Jiangdong for his kindness."

"Oh..." Jiajing's sadness became even worse, and he said slowly: "It is better to have clothes than new, and people are worse than old. For me, clothes are good, and people are even more old. I can't bear to leave these old ministers, but when I think of him having a good end, I am happy for him..." As he said that, his eyes turned red and said, "I don't know if I can have the blessing of him..."

Xu Jie first burst into tears with the emperor, but the more he heard it, the worse he felt. Finally, he thought to himself: What is the King of Chengping that cannot end well? Will he die even if he dies? It is nothing more than worrying that Hai Rui will be defiled with the holy name. At this moment, of course, he can only follow the emperor's wishes. Xu Jie said to Jiajing that the old minister understood the emperor's meaning, and he would definitely let Hai Rui realize that he was a big mistake.

'This is almost the same...' Jiajing's expression was much more relaxed, and he heard Xu Jie say again: "If the Ri court recommends it, I will recommend three Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. Once Jiangdong goes, I will also recommend another Minister of War. What does the emperor want?"

"Accept." These are all things that have been good for the business, so Jiajing will naturally not have a chance to have a house without avail

"There are also the concerns of the ministers. Why is Shen Mo, the Minister of Rites, imprisoned?" Xu Jie asked softly: "I hope the emperor will give you an explanation to calm the slightest comments and calm people's hearts."

"I suspect that he is Hai Rui's behind the scenes," Jiajing frowned and said, "Is this going down?"

Seeing that the emperor was impatient, Xu Jie had to tactfully take his leave.

After Xu Jie retreated, the emperor's face became tense again. In fact, in addition to "The Commentary on Public Security", he was also worried about "Journey to the West", but he was even more worried that the impact would be worse... Hai Rui's "The Commentary on Public Security" was so angry that he ordered the Nine Emperors to read it. As a result, the more the troubles became bigger and bigger, and it was almost impossible to end.

Afterwards, Jiajing often thought that if he had not been made public and secretly killed Hai Rui, this matter would at most become a unsolved case in history, and would not put himself in a state of being judged like now.

After learning from the former, Jiajing was very secretive about the book "Journey to the West", and even Xu Jie didn't know it, so he was still guessing why Shen Mo was imprisoned.

Therefore, unlike the explicit review of "Public Security Commentary", "Journey to the West" requires a secret investigation. The person who accepts this task is still the Criminal Department...

Shen Mo was confused in prison, and was mentioned to the torture room full of torture instruments.

The torches in the torture room were bright and bright as daytime. Shen Mo's eyes adapted for a while before he could see the decorations inside clearly. He couldn't help but breathe. What a guy, all kinds of torture instruments were hung on the walls with blood, and I guess he couldn't stand it.

Fortunately, the eunuch Tixing just found a place to ask questions and did not intend to ask him to taste the delicious food inside. He sat on one end of the square table and pointed to the other end and said, "Mr. Shen, please sit down."

After looking silently, he didn't look like he was about to be punished, so he calmed down and sat across from the eunuch Tixing, looking at him calmly.

He was embarrassed by his view, and Eunuch Tixing coughed dryly and said, "Asking the emperor ordered, he asked."

He stood up in silence and wanted to kneel down and reply, but he heard the eunuch Tixing say, "The emperor's grace is yours, you can sit and reply."

He was silent and didn't hesitate, and returned to the bench and said, "My father-in-law, please ask."

"Mr. Shen, do you know your guilt?" Eunuch Tixing asked in a deep voice.

"What crime is there?" Chen Si said with confusion.

"Why do you publish evil books and slander the present?" Eunuch Tixing did ask questions according to the emperor's instructions. Both of them were recorded and they would be sent back to the Holy Shou Palace as soon as possible.

"I don't understand this." The confused expression on the silent face became even stronger, and he said, "I have only a little knowledge and have never published any books, so how can I talk about evil books?" He naturally knew that this was the opportunity to cleanse himself, so he asked the eunuch Natixing, "Da Dare, what kind of book is it?"

Eunuch Tixing was so depressed, because he didn't know, so he could only sarcastically and shouted loudly: "Since it's a rebellious statement, how can our family see it!"

"You should know the title of the book, right?" Chen Shu asked.

"This..." Eunuch Tixing said in a muffled voice: "You can't mention the title of the book, it's a sin to mention it."

"How do you answer this?" Silent spread his hands and said, "I dare to swear by my ancestors, and I have never published any evil books."

The eunuch who issued the punishment was really exhausted and could not act as a punishment, so he could only speak with a dark face.

After a moment of embarrassing silence, the door of the torture room opened. It turned out that Ma Sen, the chief of the Sili Superintendent, arrived. Eunuch Tixing quickly stood up to greet him. Ma Sen said with a stern face: "You all go out, our family asks Lord Shen alone." Eunuch Tixing was eager to get rid of his own, so he responded and left with all his subordinates.

When there was no one in the torture room, Ma Sen said to silently: "Mr. Shen, we are not secretly talking about it. What's going on in Journey to the West? Why do you recommend this book?"

"Journey to the West?" A confusion flashed across his silent face.

"Another reminder," Ma Sen said in a deep voice: "Whether the adults were in the southeast last year, I recommended publishing a batch of books."

"That's the case." Silent nodded.

"There is this book on the bibliography!" Ma Sen took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, which was remembering the number of silent recommendations and published. "Journey to the West" was indeed listed: "Did you remember it?" This is the case that the emperor paid close attention to. No matter how many bribes he received, he had to be concise on the surface.

"I remembered it..." Sini, touching the back of his head, said with great difficulty: "Is there such a book, but is there anything wrong with it? I think it's good?"

"I'm saying it's very good?" Ma Sen was really angry now and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Shen, how should the emperor treat you?"

"Grate is as heavy as a mountain." said silently.

"Then why do you take and... to mock the Emperor?" Masen knocked on the table and said, "People have to be conscience. Even if everyone in this world says that the Emperor is not, you can't, don't you, don't know?"

"Eunuch Ma said he was confused..." Chen Si said with confusion in his eyes: "Although the recommended book cannot be said to be carefully selected, he definitely dare not hinder the audio-visual. I read this book in "Daozang" and agreed to Fu Zhang. He was dedicated to promoting Taoism for His Majesty. How could he deliberately capture the emperor?" He said, "If you have this heart, the sky will thunder!"

Seeing his silent and swearing, Ma Quan couldn't believe it: "Are you saying that there is this book in "Daozang"?"

"Look for..." In the Shengshou Palace, Jiajing lay on his back on a soft chair, looking straight at the top of the hall.

The little eunuchs quickly moved the stacks of books on the bookshelf on the west side of the hall, each of whom carried a stack of books and looked nervously. The rustling sound of flipping books sounded in the hall, like a spring silkworm eating a mixed cow.

I don’t know how long it took, maybe it was a long time, but suddenly a little eunuch shouted in a low voice and said, “I found it, it’s really a matter of it.” He quickly presented the book with both hands.

Huang Jin took it and held it in front of Jiajing. Jiajing still looked at the top of the hall and said quietly: "I miss..."

Huang Jin then said slowly: "Changchunzi is a Taoist man. Since middle age, he has thought of this old man, so he has ascended and changed. He has advocated that he will be in the world and has been in the world for a long time......

Hearing this, Jiajing stood up, stretched out his hand, took the book "Journey to the West" and read it. It was a genuine Taoist scripture, which records the famous Taoist priest in the late Southern Song Dynasty, Changchun real man Qiu Chuji, who went to the Western Regions to tell the story of immortality at the invitation of Genghis Khan. It records a lot of customs and customs and health methods, but there is absolutely no Monkey Monkey, let alone the Black Chicken Kingdom, Che Chi Kingdom, etc.

Jiajing's eyes were puzzled, how could this happen? After thinking for a long time, he said to Huang Jin: "Let Ma Sen ask, if Chen Si can retell the contents of the book, then..."

"That's what?" Huang Jin asked in a low voice when he saw the emperor stopping.

"Just transfer him to the imperial prison of the tutoring department." Jiajing closed his eyes and said tiredly.

"Changchun Zi is a Taoist scholar. Since middle age, he has thought of this old man, so he has ascended and changed. He has advocated the generals of the clouds and has been in Hongmeng for a long time..." Chen Si is worthy of being the top scholar in Liujia, and his outstanding memory is indeed a gift. He memorized a piece of "Changchun Journey to the West" without saying a word, and said: "I hate that he cannot be seen. In the winter of Jimao, I heard that my teacher was on the sea and was buried in the carriage. Next spring, it will be the second best thing to Yan..."

Ma Sen, who was comparing with the book, was surprised and sighed, thinking that if he had not met him personally, who would have believed that there was such a person who could never forget him? Fortunately, there was a clerk who testified, otherwise the emperor would definitely think it was a collusion.

"Don't recite it." After silently reciting several pages, Masen stopped and said, "Do you know there is a book that is duplicated with this one?"

After thinking silently, he shook his head and said, "I am sorry for being a little bit unfamiliar with my studies, and I only know this book of Journey to the West."

"It records that Tang Monk and his disciples went to the West to obtain the scriptures." As soon as Ma Sen said this, everyone stared at the silence to see if he had any flaws.

"I dare not hide it from the emperor. I have read the "The Record of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" written by Master Xuanqi, and the "Biography of the Three Zang Masters of Dacien Temple" written by his disciples." After thinking for a long time, he said: "But "Journey to the West" does record the story of Qiu Chuji going to Huashuzimo in the late Southern Song Dynasty. The difference between the two is hundreds of years."

Ma Sen only regretted that he was a little ignorant and had glared at such academic issues, so he naturally couldn't ask any questions. He said to the secretary: "Just go here." As he said that, nodded to the silence, the two of them went straight out of the torture room.

There was only one silent left in the torture room, and no one came in for a long time. He has changed a lot these days, and he doesn't care about whether it is decent or not. Seeing a few plates of snacks and fruits on the table, he reached out to get food and put them in his arms, preparing to take them back for Hai Rui to taste.

"Open the door." At this time, a familiar voice sounded outside the prison door.

The silent movement froze. Before swallowing the things in his mouth, he bulged his cheeks and slowly turned them to the prison door.

A pair of eyes shining by lanterns, and at this time they were also looking at him, with tears still shining. It was Zhu Wu of the Jinyiwei.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and the silent turned back and slowly swallowed the things in their mouths.

When the prison door opened, Zhu Wu walked in.

Chen Si swallowed the thing in his mouth and sat there looking at him. Zhu Wu turned his back to the prison door and bowed toward Xiyuan, saying, "According to the order, please transfer Lord Shen to the North Town Fushi." After saying that, he turned sideways and made way out, "Sir."

The silent eyes lit up, and tears almost rushed out. He took a deep breath, held back the tears, raised his head and said to Zhu Wu: "Let's go."

The two walked out of the torture room, silent but did not rush to the ground, but slowly said, "I want to get things."

"What?" Zhu Wu said: "I'll send someone to pick it up."

"I'd better take my official uniform..." After saying that, he walked deep into the dungeon.
To be continued...
