little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 184
In a secluded courtyard not far from the capital, one person looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back in the independent courtyard. The sun above the sky was as bright as gold, and the breeze blew his clothes slightly, making him look extraordinarily leisurely and at ease. What's more, at this moment, the corners of his mouth are tightly pursed, his expression is unruly, and the light in his eyes is changing, as if thousands of troops are coming and going, and they are constantly killing and attacking.

Gu Xiancheng stood behind him, quietly staring at the master who was standing with his hands behind his back, with some inexplicable hesitation on his expression, he pondered for a moment and said: "...Master, today is the day of the joint trial of the three divisions of Lu Shengguang."

"What are you worried about?" Daoist Chongxu turned his head and stared at him, still in the attitude of an untouched fairy from the world, hesitant to speak to Gu Xiancheng, Daoist Chongxu smiled knowingly: "Xiancheng, You are my most proud disciple, you don't have to worry about anything in front of me, just ask."

Gu Xiancheng was not surprised at all when he was told the truth. If there is anyone in this world who can convince him with all his heart, it must be Daoist Chongxu. After gathering his mind, he calmed down his thoughts and said slowly: "Mr. Zun, if you push Lu Shengguang out at this time, you are not afraid...he will ruin our business?"

Daoist Chongxu flicked his sleeves, and there seemed to be endless turmoil in his eyes, gathering uncertainly, and said indifferently: "You are very knowledgeable and resourceful, but my teacher asks you, if you want to control the world, what do you need to control first?"

When asked, Gu Xiancheng lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and answered seriously: "To control the world, the most important thing is power!"

"You are wrong, you are wrong! Power is important, but it is not omnipotent." Daoist Chongxu shook his head, sighed softly, his tone became bleak, but his eyes became eager: "To control the world, power It's important, but you have to know that things have their beginnings and ends, and power is ultimately in the hands of people."

"If you want to control the world, you must first control people's hearts!"

Gu Xiancheng was surprised and silent, he thought through these few words in his heart, and according to his intellect, he could see that the real person Chongxu was speaking out of emotion, from these words, not only was he feeling lonely There is also deep pain, more endless emotion.

Daoist Chongxu said slowly: "For Lu Shengguang, although I didn't do anything, it doesn't mean that no one will do it for me."

Gu Xiancheng was in a daze, with a confused look on his face: "Master, what do you mean?"

Daoist Chongxu's expression was difficult to distinguish, he turned around, looked up at the clouds, and unconsciously his voice became agitated.

"Did you ever think that that short book of less than [-] words would be dubbed a demon book?"

"Did you think that no matter who read this short book, they would laugh it off?"

"Because as long as it is a normal person, anyone with a little brain will think this nonsense article, right?"

A series of three rhetorical questions came down like a cannonball, which immediately made Gu Xiancheng a little overwhelmed. He took a deep breath, and the composure he had cultivated over the years turned into a childish appearance in front of Daoist Chongxu. After thinking about it for a while, he nodded: "What the master said is exactly, and this disciple really thinks so."

Daoist Chongxu remained calm and his eyes were deep: "But now you look at it again... the nonsense has become a demon book, the court is waiting in full force, and the officials are facing each other as enemies, what is the reason for all this?"

Gu Xiancheng lowered his head and pondered, various emotions in his eyes kept changing, and finally became clear: "Master, what do you mean is that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop?"

"Mountains have no growth potential, water has no permanent shape, and adapting to the situation is the best policy." Regarding Gu Xiancheng's comprehension, Chongxu nodded in satisfaction: "It seems absurd and nonsense, but it is the best gift for many caring people , I didn’t do anything, but I gave many people the opportunity to do what they dreamed of and dreamed of.”

There was already an inexplicable and weird smile in Chongxuzhen's eyes, "Lu Shengguang is a piece of white paper I gave them, and many people would be willing to write big pictures on it, so even though I don't know anything, I didn’t do it, but I believe that there will be many people who will do it for me, and they will spare no effort!” Speaking of this, the faint smile has turned into laughter uncontrollably.

"The emperor is waiting to die. Although the prince is extraordinary, once the news of his short life spreads, even if no one dares to believe it at the moment, as time goes by, the three of them will become a tiger, and it will become a disaster for a long time. At that time, it will definitely cause trouble for the vassal princes everywhere. Surrounded by ambition, there will inevitably be another dispute."

"Shen has always wanted to fight against Shen Li, and Shen Li will naturally not sit still. The first assistant is against the second assistant, eight or two pairs of half a catty. Both of them are important figures in the dynasty, and the power of their subordinates is naturally very important. This fight will naturally happen. It's brilliant."

"Things are so weird, obviously I didn't do anything, but in fact I did everything, but it's very interesting." Daoist Chongxu spread his hands, smiling with indescribable satisfaction, and suddenly sighed With a sound, his face became dark: "The only pity is Mrs. Zheng, the mud can't support the wall, and she was defeated by the queen mother first, and then the prince, so that now she is in a slump, ruining my big event!"

It's nothing to do with it, but concern is chaos, as long as Zheng Guifei is mentioned, Gu Xiancheng loses his composure, and hastily bowed in panic: "She was also confused for a while, and she acted in a hurry, please forgive me, Master."

"Since I said that I will not pursue it anymore, I don't mean to blame her anymore." Daoist Chongxu snorted, his eyes gradually becoming a little eager: "I have been waiting for a chance for many years. If I can't wait, I will We must try our best to create an opportunity..." Suddenly he laughed, and his madness seemed to be out of control: "...the hall of the Sanju Division must be in chaos at this moment! Since it is chaotic, the more chaotic the better. "

Gu Xiancheng's face turned pale, his heart was beating wildly, he looked at his master almost in disbelief, in his impression the real person Chongxu had always been humble and restrained, he had never laughed so wantonly like today, his gaffe was irresistible When I was close to hysteria, I faintly thought of something, I just felt an indescribable fear, my master had deep thoughts and far-reaching plans, as expected, it was like an ocean and an abyss, it was beyond my comprehension.

After a long time, the laughter faded away, and the real person Chongxu still had a smile on his face, but the smile in his eyes was replaced by a stern coldness: "Everything is just the beginning, and the chaos is yet to come." After saying this, he turned around and Ling Looking north, the air in front of his eyes was distorted, a timid and familiar face appeared in a trance, carefully smiling at himself, the real person Chongxu's eyes suddenly caught fire, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, his expression became ferocious, With a voice that only he could hear, with a tone that was almost heart-wrenching: "...the day I go back, I will definitely ask you in person, who among us won!"

Surprised to find that the real Chongxu looked at him from this angle at this moment, with half of his body covered in the dazzling sunlight, his whole body seemed to turn into a blazing fire, his eyes were filled with the arrogance of a king looking at the world with contempt and sweeping across the world.Gu Xiancheng, who has always respected his teachers like a god, did not dare to look directly at him, but at the moment he lowered his head, he unexpectedly found that the outstretched hand of Daoist Chongxu, which was hanging outside his sleeve, had been tightly clenched into a ball at some point!
It was clearly the end of late spring and March, and it was the time when the cold willow wind was blowing on his face, but for some reason, Gu Xiancheng shivered abruptly, his whole body was drenched in cold sweat, and even his teeth were chattering slightly.

Everything seems to be in the calculation of Daoist Chongxu, but it seems a little strange and weird.If Gu Xiancheng and Li Sancai were in different places, they would have noticed that the atmosphere in the lobby of the Ministry of Punishment was a little strange.Li Sancai is not the only one, many smart and sensitive officials have discovered that this strange atmosphere is caused by Xiao Daheng's sudden call to stop and intervene in the trial... Could it be Xiao Daheng's sudden action, and the king of Wang Shugu? A set of adults is popular?
Most people hold this idea and gloat from the sidelines, but Wang Zhicai, who has been a partner for half a lifetime and dislikes each other but is very familiar with each other, only takes one look at Wang Shugu's strange and wonderful face, and suddenly His heart skipped a beat, based on his understanding of Wang Shugu, the expression on the Lord's face at this moment was already a sign of an impending explosion.

What happened later was as expected by Wang Zhicai. Just when Xiao Daheng put down a stone in his heart and just touched his buttocks on the seat, Wang Shugu pulled his completely dark face and opened the The foreign object in his palm.

It is said to be a foreign object, but it is actually a thin piece of paper, folded to look like Fang Sheng.

Wang Shugu let out a hey, closed his eyes and opened them again, sneered three times, and opened them slowly in front of everyone without dodging or avoiding...

Xiao Daheng's face suddenly changed when he picked up the teacup, and inexplicable panic suddenly rose in his heart, so that this high-ranking official of the six departments and the second-rank official was completely panicked, and he almost couldn't even hold the teacup in his hand. As for the tea spilled all over his body without realizing it, Li Sancai, who was sitting next to him, frowned, suddenly his heart moved, and his eyes had already turned to Wang Shugu...

There are only a few words on the opened note, written very clearly, there are only two names on it: Shen Li and Guo Zhengyu, and the following few lines clearly reveal the boss's intentions on the paper.The corner of Wang Shugu's mouth twitched a few times, his iron-black face suddenly turned red, and he said loudly, "I want to ask my lord, what does this mean?"

Xiao Daheng's face changed completely, he gritted his teeth and forced a smile: "My lord, what's the matter, let's talk about it after the trial?"

Everyone can hear that the tone of this Lord Shangshu is almost begging at this moment, but who knows that Xiao Daheng's heart is already frightened, frightened and panicked at this moment, and he has no idea that Wang Shugu has eaten Xiong Xinbao today Courageous, he still lost his mind, doesn't he know that such a move is not only a complete face-to-face with himself, but also a naked provocation to himself and Shen Yitong!
Wang Shugu's face was as iron as a bell, and his voice resounded in the hall: "My lord, may the case not come from the prisoner's mouth, but from the sleeve?"

There is an old saying in the folk, those who are too stupid to be stupefied, and those who are too stupefied to die, Xiao Daheng is really dumbfounded at this moment!

You can refuse, you don't have to obey orders, but you shouldn't be so rude in front of these three judges, high-ranking officials and criminals?Xiao Daheng's face suddenly turned red like blood, and suddenly became white like snow, and the veins on his neck were swollen like they were about to burst. After choking for a long time, he shouted: "Wang Shugu, you... you presumptuous!"

Everyone's eyes fell on the piece of paper that Wang Shugu held high in his hand. Of course, everyone understood what was going on. After three breaths of silence, there was an uproar!Everyone is an official. Who has never done this kind of thing that the boss has orders and the subordinates obey?But like today, when the boss gave a magic trick face to face, but was forced back by his subordinates, this kind of humiliation is already equivalent to being slapped twice in the hall in front of the public, and everyone is an old official. Everyone sighed that today's game was really an eye-opener and a new one.

At this point in the trial of the case, it is no longer possible to proceed.Li Sancai sighed, and glanced at Xiao Daheng who was about to vomit blood and sat in a daze with great sympathy, and then looked meaningfully at Wang Shugu, who was stuck in the neck. Judging from his rich experience... Xiao Daheng His official career has come to an end without any suspense!It is conceivable that at the court meeting tomorrow, there will be countless impeachment memorials rushing forward. An official who has lost his reputation will have no face and no way to stay in the court.

Glancing at the officials who were talking about it, it seems that most of them are against Wang Shugu's actions, but Li Sancai doesn't think so. If his prediction is right, this Wang Shugu will become the current crown prince's celebrity It's a new favourite, it's so good to turn over and play with salted fish, Li Sancai sighed in admiration.

Li Sancai was valued by Gu Xiancheng, and he was listed as a confidant like Ye Xianggao. This keen insight alone should be evident.Thoughts flashed like lightning, he immediately took a step forward, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone be quiet, today's case will end here first, and the offender, Sheng Guang, will be put in prison and guarded carefully, there must be no mistakes!"

"In addition, the prisoner's wife, son, and brothers will all be imprisoned, and they will be detained separately. They should not be released lightly."

Mrs. Li hugged her frightened and crying son tightly, and looked at Lu Shengguang, whose eyes were full of hatred and persistence on the verge of collapse. Lu Shengguang suddenly became agitated, and tried his best to get up, his face was so swollen that he no longer had a human shape. Trying to open his eyelids to look at Li Shi, just in time to meet Li Shi's tragic and resentful eyes, and the sound of his son's crying can be heard next to his ears, and he just feels like his heart has been turned back and forth a few times in a frying pan. Under the rush of fire, he couldn't help screaming and screaming, his eyes darkened and he passed out.

In today's joint trial by the three judicial divisions, Xiao Daheng, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, lost his face and no longer had any dignity. Hu Tingyuan, the Minister of Dali Temple, was very satisfied with today's results. As long as Shen Li is not implicated, his goal has been achieved. As for Wang Shu Gu...he was also afraid. Originally, he also had the idea of ​​confessing in private, but now he secretly rejoiced that he didn't act rashly, otherwise he would be the one who lost his face today.

Before leaving the court, Li Sancai gave Wang Shugu a bow, and smiled like a spring breeze: "Master Wang is upright, he should be a model for my generation, I will naturally have a book to play in the court tomorrow, and my lord's future is limitless."

Wang Shugu arched his hands in a daze, and remained silent, his expression neither happy nor sad, like a stone sculpture.
