great mandate

Shen Wuji came to the palace full of worries, changed his clothes, and swept away the gloom on his face, he was that proud eunuch again.He first discussed some matters with his colleagues in the Supervisor of Rituals, and soon he was summoned by the emperor.

During the fifteenth rest period, the emperor stayed in bed for a while. He had just finished his breakfast and was flipping through the memorials in the imperial study.Seeing Shen Wuji come in to salute, the emperor regained his spirit: "Get up, come here, I have something to ask you."

Shen Wuji got up, slightly arched his waist, came to the imperial case, and made a gesture of listening respectfully.

But the emperor suddenly slapped the table, with a straight face, and shouted: "Good you Shen Wuji! What are you hiding from me, you tell yourself!"

Ordinary people will definitely be startled by the sudden anger of Long Yan, but Shen Wuji has seen many people who are in heavy wind and rain, he knelt down calmly, and said: "I don't know what the emperor is doing, first look Your Majesty forgives the sin, and the dragon body must not get angry."

Seeing him like this, the emperor felt that it was boring, so he stopped scaring him and said: "Get up."

Shen Wuji stood up again.

The emperor rested his chin and looked at him: "I heard something from King Jia."

Shen Wuji said in his heart, it must not be an important matter.

The emperor said: "He said, you are hiding in the golden house."

Shen Wuji said calmly: "It was Luo Jinyu, the former Tai Academy's number one, the number one talent in the capital."

The emperor waved his hand and said: "King Jia said this, and he also said that this Luo Jinyu committed a crime. He was imprisoned for three years and just came out."

Shen Wuji said: "There is indeed such a thing. It just so happened that he accepted the favor and the emperor pardoned the world, so he came out."

"He killed someone, and I haven't pardoned the murderer to get out of prison immediately." The emperor glanced at him, "Shen Wuji, you didn't do this well." Then, the emperor took out a copy of the memorial from the desk. , put it in front of him, "For those who celebrate the New Year, someone read a book for you, and it happened that King Jia was by the side, so I asked him."

Shen Wuji heard the meaning of the emperor's words, and knew that the emperor intended to sell his favor, and did not take this impeachment seriously, so he became more calm, knelt down again, and said: "The servant has indeed used some means. , I didn't want to hide it from the emperor, and I knew I couldn't hide it from the emperor."

"Get up, don't you understand what I mean?" The emperor lowered his voice, "If I take it seriously, can I still call you here like this? Get up!"

Shen Wuji stood up again.

The emperor continued: "I know you didn't want to hide it from me. If you want to hide it, it's just such a trivial matter, and you won't give someone such an obvious excuse to get involved with you. You are not a fool, so you can just ask me for it." Amnesty grace, based on my relationship with you, can I not give it? This is why I am puzzled, why do you want to give people an excuse? I came here to drive ducks, and I am not familiar with the place here. The old saying says that strong dragons do not suppress Snake, I only dare to have heart-to-heart conversations with you in the Manchu Dynasty, what do you want to do, you have to let me know first."

Shen Wuji hurriedly said: "The emperor favors him greatly, and the servants are terrified."

"Come on, you, don't say such beautiful things, say it quickly!" The emperor urged him.

Shen Wuji sighed, and said: "The emperor is wise. This matter is a long story, and this servant can only make a long story short. That Luo Jinyu didn't kill someone, he was framed. But the so-called evidence is conclusive, and someone is behind the scenes. Convict him. At that time, the late emperor was still there, and the servants did everything they could to get Luo Jinyu to live in prison."

The emperor said: "It turned out to be an unjust case? But since the evidence is solid, how can you confirm that he didn't kill anyone?"

"He said he didn't kill, so he didn't kill." Shen Wuji said calmly.

The emperor rolled his eyes and said: "You also..."

"It's not that the slaves are partial to him. The emperor can ask Jia Wang what was Luo Jinyu's reputation and behavior before he was imprisoned. The slaves firmly believe that if there are true gentlemen in this world, Luo Jinyu must be one of them. In addition, he has a strong mother." , His mother avenged her son, and she did not hesitate to bump her head to death in the lobby." Shen Wuji said slowly, "Luo Jinyu is a poor student, his father died young, he and his widowed mother depend on each other for life, and his mother is also an upright person. The virtuous name is known far and near. Luo Jinyu received strict training from her mother since she was a child. She is not only knowledgeable, but also has a noble and proud temperament. Ordinary people."

Speaking of this, Shen Wuji paused for a while before continuing, "As the emperor knows, the slaves admire him and have shown him many ways..."

The emperor hurriedly nodded and said, a little bit watching the excitement: "King Jia said this, he said that you ran to Luo Jinyu eagerly every day, but people hated you so badly, but it's okay to scold you in public. I can't scold you away."

Shen Wuji: "..."

The emperor hurriedly said: "What King Jia said, not what I said. What's more, he said that most people in the capital know about it, so you don't need to be ashamed."

Shen Wuji: "..."

Shen Wuji smiled with humiliation, "As the emperor said."

But can't you say a few words in front of our family!

"At that time, Cao Guozhong was so powerful that few people were not afraid of him. Everyone knew that the servants were Cao Guozhong's adopted sons, and they were also shy to be favored by the late emperor. No matter how much they hated the slaves in their hearts, they would never dare to offend them on the face. What's more, the servants If he sells well that way, Luo Jinyu will only waver a little, and there will be endless benefits if he thinks about it." Shen Wuji said, "But he has never wavered in the slightest. Showing respect for him, he is not afraid of the servant becoming angry and retaliating against him. The servant dares to say that there are many people who dare to beat tigers and kill people all over the world, but there may not be many people like Luo Jinyu."

In fact, such a person is easily ridiculed, said to be pedantic, or said to be stubborn.Some will say that this is stupid.For example, Shen Wuji tried his best to overthrow Cao Guozhong, a treacherous eunuch, and earn a lot of power for himself. Wouldn't it be better than Luo Jinyu, a useless scholar who only knows his mouth is tough, but was easily framed before he was a fledgling? powerful?

But Shen Wuji was impressed by such Luo Jinyu.

At that time, Luo Jinyu hated him and scolded him. Although he was uncomfortable and angry, he sank deeper into it after his anger subsided.

The more resolute and unyielding Luo Jinyu was, the more Shen Wuji's heart beat when he looked at him.

Shen Wuji is a mortal, and mortals fall into the dusty world to survive, so mortals know the so-called flexibility, and call it "playing by ear, flexible mind."

But Luo Jinyu is an immortal. An immortal stands cleanly on the top of the snow-capped mountain, not bowing down for five buckets of rice, not afraid of might, and not attached to power.He is the number one person in the Tai Academy. He has been intelligent since he was a child, and his talent has spread far and wide. How could he not know that being so upright would offend others, and even bring disaster?But Luo Jinyu knows that there are tigers in the mountains, and she prefers to go to the tiger mountains. She would rather be broken than to be filthy, and will still stand proudly.

Shen Wuji crawled out of the mud since he was a child. His body was covered with dirt and his hands were covered with human blood. He said that he had to bear the humiliation and brought down Cao Guozhong with a combination of inside and outside. When it arrives, it's all about rebellion with quick eyes and hands.

Just like those humerus ministers who said the words of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism in the whole court, in fact, to put it bluntly, who is not for their own interests?When Cao Guozhong gained power, Mr. Yu Ge, Jun Taiwei and others also had a lot of affection with Cao Guozhong on the surface, but they were also the ones who took the lead in bringing down Cao Guozhong behind the scenes.

Others do the same thing as fighting against dissidents, and Shen Wuji also does it.

In this kind of him, there is only a little bit of purity on the tip of his heart, which is the place where Luo Jinyu is offered.

The emperor nodded: "Students. King Jia also said that this Luo Jinyu is very embarrassing. After all, King Jia wants to give you face, but that commoner student... frightened him."

Jia Wang always liked to go to lively places, and he had personally seen Luo Jinyu scolding Shen Wuji back then.

In public, under the eyes of everyone, Luo Jinyu didn't utter a word of swearing, and scolded the hot and well-dressed Second Governor of the East Factory, Eunuch Shen, until his face was blue and purple, his eyes were red, and he couldn't say a word. Stand there and let them scold.

The people on the side didn't dare to show their anger, they were all as pale as paper.

King Jia gasped on the spot, afraid of being angered by Shen Wuji, covered his face with a fan and slipped away through the back door, pretending that he had never been here before, and had never seen Eunuch Shen so embarrassing.

Recalling the events at that time, Shen Wuji still felt that there was no light on his face, so he suppressed himself and said: "The emperor is wise. This servant knows that if this servant clarifies this matter to the emperor and asks for grace, the emperor must also be aware of it. So the servants make their own claims, in fact, they are waiting for this performance."

The emperor was stunned: "What are you doing?"

Shen Wuji bowed a little more, approached the emperor, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this servant is bold. You came from the feudal land, and you have never had the idea of ​​inheriting the great order before, and you have no military power in your hands. Now you are the Ninth Five-Year Supreme , but are you still not worried about this matter? Although the former emperor’s princes died early, there are more than a dozen princes from far and near in Beijing and outside Beijing.

The emperor was startled, with a little hesitation in his thick eyebrows and big eyes.

"With regard to the two matters of the Empress Liberation and the New Deal, the emperor has already experienced the sufferings of the important ministers, so the servants will not say more." Shen Wuji said, "Although these two issues are not without solutions, your majesty, are you willing to deal with them in the future? They all look at people's faces, they look up to people every day, and they have to fight their wits with others all the time to be happy? A three-year-old child knows that under the whole world, is it the king's land, and the shore of the land is the king's minister. The world is originally It should be the emperor's world, when will it be the turn of others to add more beaks?"

The emperor's smile gradually faded, and he narrowed his eyes slightly to look at Shen Wuji, very different from his usual silly look.After a long time, he said in a low voice: "Shen Wuji, you are quite courageous."

Shen Wuji lowered his eyes and said: "This servant is a rootless eunuch, the mansion is bestowed by the emperor, and the future is also supported by the emperor. The honor and disgrace of an eunuch's life depends entirely on the gift of heaven."
