Chapter 961: Senses
Shen Hao is good at wine, and Emperor Yang Shu is also good at wine. If the two of them put aside their differences in status, they might still be able to make friends just because of their hobbies.
When the emperor asked him if he had brought wine, Shen Hao was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out two jars of two-year-old Wuliangye from the storage bag and handed them to the two eunuchs who were waiting beside him, but he returned to the previous station position.
It seemed that Shen Hao didn't dare to confront the emperor. He knew his status, so he stood far away and made his position very clear. But only Shen Hao knew that he wished to stand further away now, so as not to be noticed the black beast tattoo on his chest.
It's not certain, but not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
The eunuchs each took out a Dharma plate, probably to check whether there was any problem with the wine, but Yang Shu waved his hand with a smile, urging the eunuchs to hurry up, and motioned to leave a jar for Shen Hao.
The wine is good wine, and Shen Hao put it in a storage bag for himself to drink, so there must be no problem, so after the two eunuchs finished checking, they opened up two small tables and placed the wine bowls.
Yang Shu still has his own special drinking utensils, and he drinks very carefully. In front of Shen Hao, there was an ordinary wine bowl, and he drank it when it was full.
"The taste of Wuliangye brewed in the past two years is really good. It is rare in the world, and I have rarely tasted it." Yang Shu took a sip of the small cup he drank, and was quite impressed by the taste of the wine. But Yang Shu interrupted Shen Hao with a wave of his hand, and continued: "I don't need you to pay tribute. Although Wuliangye is good, it is not the only good wine. Besides, I don't drink like I used to. I usually drink a lot when I am addicted to alcohol. Drinking is just fun, there are too many things to do, don't dare to make things wrong with wine."
After three cups, he started talking about the business. Yang Shu brought the topic to the two recent incidents, and said, "Now you're handling Ye Lansheng's case with one hand, and you're cleaning up inside Xuan Qingwei with the other. Are you busy?"
"Returning to Your Majesty, Ye Lansheng's case is guided by the Right Minister's "Thirty-seven Crimes Book" as well as the full cooperation of the Commander Yamen and the Imperial Army. It is actually not very difficult to investigate. Now all aspects of the case are progressing smoothly , the dossier is getting fuller and fuller, and I believe it will be finished in half a month.
Therefore, I acted together on both sides, which happened to be able to borrow His Majesty's prestige, otherwise Xuan Qingwei's internal purge would really be impossible. "
The last sentence is basically Shen Hao's confession that he borrowed the prestige of Ye Lansheng's case as a basis for starting the internal purge of Xuan Qingwei. Although I didn't explain it thoroughly, but after clicking this sentence, people can already understand the meaning inside.
A fox pretends to be a tiger. It's just that it also involves some "killing with a borrowed knife" flavor.
Yang Shu was very satisfied with Shen Hao's answer. He is not deaf and blind, so how could he not be clear about what was going on in the imperial city? I asked Shen Hao to give him a reasonable explanation. Delegate power to your Black Flag Camp to handle affairs, but you can't just use it for fun. At least Shen Hao's words were very straightforward. He wanted to use the authority of Ye Lansheng's case to subdue external pressure, so as to carry out a deep purge of Xuan Qingwei's internal affairs.
How hard is the Black Flag Battalion to clean up Xuanqingwei's interior? Yang Shu has specially found someone to understand it, and it can be described in four words, that is: unprecedented!
Emperors dislike being poached the most, because they regard the world as their own, and the fate of the country is closely tied to them. Whoever digs the corner of the imperial court is making trouble with the emperor.
However, it is not easy to clean up the mess under the water. Many officials at all levels can consciously form a united front and form a solid one. Cheng's stubborn illness is as difficult as reaching the sky.
Not only Yang Shu understood this problem, but all the emperors of the old Jing Dynasty understood this problem, but they were always restricted by various constraints when they really wanted to do it.
Of course, there are many complex details to consider. However, the most critical thing is that there is a lack of a sharp blade that dares to cut through the cancer, and a suitable opportunity.
But now, with the establishment of the Black Flag Camp, Pang Ban's support, and Shen Hao's sharpness and determination, Yang Shu undoubtedly saw a faint but not underestimated ray of dawn that could completely eradicate the chronic diseases at the foundation of the country.
Before, Yang Shu was not very satisfied with Shen Hao's practice of "killing people with a borrowed knife". His dissatisfaction was not because he was used by Shen Hao as a "power". As for the emperor, isn't fame just to be used and used by others? Without this self-consciousness, there is no quality to be an emperor.
Yang Shu was dissatisfied that Shen Hao did not complete the Ye Lansheng case assigned by him while "borrowing a knife to kill" with both quality and quantity. Because at that time Ye Lansheng's "forming a party for personal gain" didn't improve at all.
But later, it was discovered that Shen Hao's "killing with a knife" was really not small, and he not only killed Xuan Qingwei's internal, but also Xuan Qingwei's external, and the external ones were supposed to be his Xuan Qingwei's. The head of resistance fell on Ye Lansheng.
Is this killing two birds with one stone? Kill two birds with one stone?
Yang Shu seems to have counted. So his previous dissatisfaction with Shen Hao had long since dissipated. In addition, he had received secret help from Shen Hao during the royal exam, which was regarded as "giving charcoal in the snow" to him. If you count the tough purge that the Black Flag Battalion is carrying out, it can be said that Yang Shu is quite optimistic about and appreciates Shen Hao.
"You can climb up step by step in Xuanqingwei and be highly valued by Pang Ban, which shows that you are trustworthy in all aspects. And this time, Ye Lansheng's case is also going well. This is very good."
Shen Hao bowed himself modestly, he was also wondering if the emperor asked him to come here just to reminisce about the old days, to have a drink or two, and to praise him, right?
The emperor wouldn't be so idle, even if he wanted to praise it, it would be nothing more than a reward, asking someone to praise him alone? Shen Hao is not a bigwig with great achievements like Zuo Yuliang, he thinks he is not qualified to do so.
Sure enough, after Yang Shu put down his wine glass, he began to throw out a sentence, which officially kicked off the conversation: "Do you think the reason why Ye Lansheng has been able to do evil in the position of the leftist for many years is that he concealed himself and formed a party for selfish collusion? Besides, is there any other reason?"
other reasons? When Shen Hao heard the words, his heart turned a few times quickly, and then he said with a face of shame: "Your Majesty is stupid, please teach me!"
When is it not "dumb" at this time, when is it "dumb"? The emperor's question obviously meant that he had something to say later, which showed that Ye Lansheng's case was not as simple as it was shown now. The emperor's heart was not about Ye Lansheng, nor was it the unlucky ones who were crying in Xuanqingwei's dungeon. eggs, but have other plans.
So Shen Hao appeared to be dull appropriately, and then he would listen to the emperor pour out his thoughts, and he was sure that the subsequent matter had something to do with him, otherwise the emperor would not have specially asked him to come.
