great mandate

Luo Jinyu came to Yu Mansion, greeted the emperor first, and then went to visit Elder Yu Ge by the window.

Yu Ge always said that he had a stroke, half of his body was paralyzed and he couldn't move, but he could still speak, but he spoke intermittently and in a low voice. poignant.

When he saw Luo Jinyu, he called "Yangshan" tremblingly.

The emperor sighed at the side: "Oh, he is confused for a while, and he is sober for a while. When he is confused, he can't recognize people. He just saw me and called me by my father's name. My father came to Beijing when he was young. He The host, how many years ago, there was no me at that time... Alas, a generation of good ministers and virtuous ministers, it is also sad to get old with such a disgraceful disease. Wu Guogong is also old, and he also said that he is not in good health, but After all, it is better than this. It’s hard to say, Wu Guogong is a martial artist, and Mr. Ge is a literati..."

Luo Jinyu was also very sad when he heard it, and stayed in front of the hospital bed and talked with Mr. Yu Ge for a while.Yu Ge always recognized him as his father, and he explained it, but when he saw that the explanation was not clear, he stopped explaining, listening to Yu Ge always telling "Yangshan" in a low voice to go to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief, to be low-key and flexible , don't fight against Cao Guozhong, keep the green hills...

Luo Jinyu's eyes became more sour.

His father, Luoyang Shan, knew many of Cao Guozhong's crimes when he went to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief. He fought with Cao Guozhong's sons and grandchildren in the south of the Yangtze River. For some of them, Fang managed to calm down the situation temporarily, shocked the others, and gave relief to the disaster.

After Luoyangshan returned to Beijing, he even wrote a letter to impeach Cao Guozhong, so he offended Cao Guozhong completely. In a rage, Cao Guozhong fabricated charges and wiped out all the Luo family.

……

People also came to visit, and it was inconvenient for the emperor to stay outside the palace for a long time, so Zhan Qingshui directly refused Yu Changliang's meal for him.

Before leaving, the emperor looked at Luo Jinyu and said, "Zi Shi, you can go back to the palace with me, I have something to talk to you about."

Luo Jinyu nodded and followed.

Yu Changliang and his son took the emperor to leave and went back to the room. The two closed the door to discuss.

Yu Changliang sneered and said, "Hmph, if the emperor hadn't saved his life..."

"Take it easy," his father said with a frown, "I don't think it's a coincidence, but the emperor took him away on purpose. If something happened to Luo Jinyu in our house, no matter how you put it aside on the surface, whoever is in private I don’t know what’s going on? You’re the only one who’s smart, but you’re considered a fool? You also know that if you don’t delay doing things that you can’t do publicly, it will still be a mess.”

The carriage that the emperor and Luo Jinyu sat in was driven by Zhan Qingshui himself. It looked ordinary, not even as luxurious as Jun Tianci's usual carriage, but there were many masters hidden in front and back, and they were well protected.

"Do you know why I asked you to come with me?" the emperor asked.

Luo Jinyu said: "The emperor is worried that something will happen to the minister in Yu's residence."

"Ah?" The emperor was startled, and after a while he realized, he waved his hand, "You're thinking too scary, it won't, it won't, you have an accident at his house, won't they make a fuss by themselves? I think They won't, ah, don't just look at everyone as bad."

Luo Jinyu said calmly: "Maybe it's because I'm narrow-minded, so I treat a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain, but according to my opinion, if I want to do this, it's not impossible to get rid of the responsibility."

The emperor asked curiously, "How?"

"I heard from Mr. Xiaojun that there is an old man in the pavilion who suffered from an accident when suppressing the bandits and suffered from madness. If you want to get rid of the relationship, you can ask the patient to do it when the minister comes to the door. If you suffer from madness, People can't control themselves, and this person has meritorious deeds, according to the regulations of this dynasty, at most reprimand the Yu Mansion for lax discipline, and there will be no more." Luo Jinyu said, "Of course, this is just because I was born with a villain's heart. It does not mean that they will definitely have such an idea.”

"Sigh..." The emperor couldn't follow him and say that he was a villain at heart, so he had to say euphemistically, "You also have some grudges with them, so you are too guarded...it's not the end of it."

As he said that, the emperor laughed again, "However, since you already feel this way, why do you dare to come to Yu Mansion alone? Did you guess that I would come too?"

"That's not the case." Luo Jinyu said lightly, "How I guessed about them and what they did exactly is not in conflict with my visit to my father's seriously ill teacher."

"You are really stupid and bold." The emperor gave him a white look, "If it's what you guessed and I didn't come, then you are dead now?"

"Life is a matter of life and death," Luo Jinyu said, "How can you do things that violate your conscience and morality just because you are afraid of death?"

The emperor was speechless when he saw his wooden head. He picked an orange from the fruit basket and gave it to him. He was sober for a while when he just went to Ge Lao Na before you came."

The emperor let out a long sigh, and looked at Luo Jinyu seriously, "Zi Shi, the matter of the orphanage is almost over here, and we must forgive others."

Luo Jinyu asked without changing his face: "But what kind of benefits will Mr. Ge exchange with the emperor?"

"You—you are really relying on my temper. If you were someone else, you would lose your head countless times! You are really a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard." The emperor glared.

Luo Jinyu was very innocent: "I have no other intention, just a question."

He really wasn't being sarcastic, but remembered that Shen Wuji had told him many official cases, so he really doubted that.

Unexpectedly, the emperor looked a little... from embarrassment to anger.

"There is no exchange of benefits." The emperor held his breath and said, "that is... well, seeing him like that, I also feel uneasy. How to say, he is also a veteran of the three dynasties, and he has all the credit and hard work, and now he is like this It's more or less related to you."

"I heard that the pavilion always wants to enjoy the flowers when it rains, so I slipped and fell." Luo Jinyu said frankly.

"You—how are you talking?" the emperor asked, "Are you in a hurry to get rid of the relationship?"

"I didn't clear up the relationship, I just told the truth," Luo Jinyu said blankly, "it's the people from Yufu who said so..."

"Isn't that because of being bitten by you, he can be in a trance, slipping and wrestling?" the emperor asked.

Luo Jinyu was puzzled and said: "Could it be that the old man will not investigate the matter of the orphanage when it rains to enjoy the flowers?"

"You—it doesn't make sense to you." The emperor "tsk", "Don't talk about this, even if it has nothing to do with you..."

"It has nothing to do with the minister." Luo Jinyu argued, "Let's not say that the old man insisted on enjoying the flowers in the rain, so there was such an accident. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if the old man insisted that he was doing it for the orphanage The case is restless, and I want to enjoy the flowers to distract my mind, but the investigation of the orphanage case is well-founded. Before and after the investigation, rumors and rumors about the minister have always been flying in the sky, never stopped, and even intensified , Because they are all chasing after the wind and shadows, the minister walked upright and sat upright, he didn't take it to heart, and he didn't seem to be disturbed by it. If someone is disturbed by the orphanage, then the minister feels that he has a guilty conscience."

The emperor said helplessly: "Oh... don't worry about whether he is guilty or not, anyway, he is like this—"

"He has a guilty conscience because he knows that the inside story of the orphanage's martyrdom is related to him. It is natural for him to be guilty. The purpose of the investigation is to make these people feel guilty. If they are not guilty, how can they correct their mistakes?" Luo Jinyu said.

The emperor helped his forehead helplessly: "Okay, even if he has a guilty conscience, even if he knows about the orphanage... Even if he is wrong, okay? But—"

"Yes, yes, no, no, what is 'even'?" Luo Jinyu asked.

"Luo Zishi, shut up! Listen to me!" The emperor couldn't bear it anymore.

"..." Luo Jinyu bowed his head unwillingly and said, "Yes."

The emperor stared at him for a while, and knew in his heart that he was right, so he couldn't keep staring. He lowered his head and broke off the peeled orange, stuffed half of it into his hand, and said in a low voice: "Others are different from you, the world is not the same as you." Ten percent, at least [-]% are different from you... Zishi, no one has faults. Don’t say you have never had faults. You and Shen Wuji are married. 'Pass'. Do you still want to take the No. [-] Scholar exam? All the scholars you passed in the previous years will be picked up by you."

Luo Jinyu frowned: "I have said this countless times. Both Chen Wuji and Shen Wuji are married. How can the emperor compare the marriage with the orphanage?"

"You can't just follow what you say is right or wrong," the emperor said earnestly, "You think it's wrong to be greedy for ink, so why don't others think it's wrong for you, a man, to marry an eunuch?"

Luo Jinyu looked at him in surprise, thinking about it but couldn't think of the connection, seeing the emperor's expression, and thinking of other people's usual attitudes, it seemed that for them, this matter was a natural logic, and it was the same as people who were hungry and wanted to eat. The same reason.

This really made Luo Jinyu terribly confused.

"So..." the emperor hurriedly continued his words while Luo Jinyu was silent, "Ge Lao also said this, he knew that his family was wrong, but he is also a layman, that is his son and grandson, What can you let him do? Now that the incident happened, he doesn't blame you—"

"So Mr. Ge always admits that Yu Changliang and others are responsible for corrupting ink in the orphanage?" Luo Jinyu asked.

"Oh, don't interrupt—"

"Please answer the minister, yes or no." Luo Jinyu asked.

"Yes!" the emperor replied angrily.

Luo Jinyu laughed back angrily: "Then why does it sound like the minister's fault? Why does he say he doesn't blame the minister? What did the minister do wrong that makes him entitled to 'blame'?"

"Luo Jinyu, shut up for me! If I say something, you'll say no. Are you the emperor? Are you the emperor?" The emperor asked angrily.

"..."

Luo Jinyu wanted to refute his words, it can be seen that he was about to burst into anger, thought for a while, held back what was in his heart, and lowered his head to listen again, but he was still very wronged.

Could it be that if the emperor said something wrong, couldn't he refute it?Isn't that the courtier who flattered her?Civil servants are going to die...

The emperor sighed: "Elder Ge means this. He was so ill that he resigned afterwards. Naturally, there is one less person in the cabinet, and one must be added. As for you, in terms of seniority, it is absolutely not enough. Yes, but he took his status and asked his disciples to recommend you to the cabinet with all their strength. In name, it still can’t be justified, so he just said that you should be called to the cabinet, and then he will think about a plausible name. But in fact, everyone knows, You are a cabinet member."

When he said this, he saw that Luo Jinyu's face was flushed with anger, and his clenched hands were trembling, so he laughed angrily, but he could only pretend not to see, and continued, "As for the matter of the orphanage Well, that's the end of it. You stop here, and they stop here. They don't care about the orphanage anymore. It's up to you to manage how the orphanage will be run in the future. Zishi, I think this is almost the end of it, don't you Too ruthless. To put it bluntly, a dog will jump over the wall when he is in a hurry."

Luo Jinyu sneered for a while, looked up at him, held back his anger, and asked with red eyes: "Is the emperor worried that the dog will jump over the wall in a hurry, or does the emperor feel that there must be some restraint in the court, and he is worried that the Yu department will be overthrown, and the monarch department will become big and threaten you?" emperor?"

"Luo Jinyu!" The emperor put away all his friendly looks, and looked at him with a gloomy expression, "You know how to behave properly."

"Did I say something wrong?" Luo Jinyu asked.

"Everyone says you are a white-eyed wolf, after biting Yu Huailiang, you should bite me!" The emperor scolded, "His uncle is right! Why is it that I am not good enough for you?"
