Chapter 643 Frontier
This is the death hall.

Chen Mu was at the end, helping You Qi who had been overthrown by someone and stepped on by someone, and was slapping the footprints on his body. Unexpectedly, when Master You looked up and saw Chen Mu, tears welled up in his eyes.

Oh my god!
Chen Mu shook his head and sighed, "How long has it been since you, Master You, saw a friendly face?"

"He, they stepped on me!"

Chen Mu had seen You Qi look so aggrieved, pouted like a child being bullied, and suppressed the voice he wanted to shout: "Return to the Imperial Academy!"

As soon as he yelled, You Qi grasped Chen Mu's robe tightly as if he had reacted suddenly, and said: "Shuai Chen, the master treats you well, why are you here at this time! Could it be that you also..."

"I'm here to express my condolences." As soon as Chen Mu said this, You Qi looked suspiciously at him in the crimson robe, and quickly explained: "The emperor called me into the palace, Master You hurriedly prepared a piece of clothing for me , I’ll put it on so I can go in, your master is still inside!”

"How can I care about these things, everyone in red robes has gone in!"

You Qi was also caught blind, and now he was in a panic, his hands holding Chen Mu's robe became more and more tense, and he bent his knees to kneel down: "Shuai Chen, those people have already rushed in, you are brave, you must You must protect the master well! I, You Qi, kneel down for you!"

Judging from this, You Qi was afraid that Zhang Juzheng would beat up these Hanlin gang.

"Don't don't don't don't!"

Chen Mu said several farewells in a row, forced You Qi not to let him kneel down, and was about to leave, You Qi said again: "Jing Haibo must take good care of the master. At first, Ma Gong, the Ministry of Rites, came, and Ge Lao had already given him I knelt down and asked him to spare me all the time, the students attacked my fellow countrymen for impeachment, the old servant has never seen the master so gaffe."

Kneel down?
This is Zhang Juzheng?
Zhang Juzheng, the Empress Dowager Li who quarreled with Wanli and said, "I'll tell Mr. Zhang about this if I'm not obedient again"?
Chen Mu gritted his teeth. I was afraid that things would be different from the situation in which Zhang Ge, who had great powers, turned his hands into clouds and covered his hands with rain. He patted You Qi on the shoulder vigorously, and said, "I'm inside, keep an eye on the gate of the house, don't Let people in again."

Thinking about it, Wang Xijue went in wearing a red robe, and brought at least half of the Hanlin Academy with him. How could he be the one wearing a red robe?

After walking a few steps, Zhang Juzheng's voice was heard.

"Human life is at stake. Your Excellency broke into the mourning hall and my father doesn't blame me; but my servant is loyal to the country, so my father will blame me?"

Immediately afterwards, Wang Xijue said kindly: "The elder Ge is dedicated to the country and the world knows, but the gentlemen are not wrong. This is the feeling of human relations. They just said what they should say, but now they have to suffer from the court. These are all students of Mr. Ge, Mr. Ge has always opposed the imperial staff, and now these gentlemen are going to be subjected to such torture, Mr. Ge, how can you bear it!"

"He is a good student of the servant. The student took the lead in impeaching the teacher and became a gentleman in your mouth. Back then, Yan Song was a disaster for the country and the people. I have never heard of any of his fellow villagers attacking him so viciously. In the end, it turns out that the servant is not as good as Yan Song."

Chen Mu didn't go into the mourning hall. He forced his way into the mourning hall. Except for Wang Xijue, no one else dared to enter. He was on the third floor outside the mourning hall. Standing on tiptoe from a distance, he saw Zhang Juzheng in auspicious clothes facing him. Looking at Wang Xijue and the Hanlin people outside the mourning hall, but Chen Mu couldn't see the aura of coldly pointing fingers.

Rather, it seems that the entrustment of hard work is not human.

"Ah! Who pushed me!"

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, anyway, Chen Mu arched his buttocks, and the number one scholar, Shen Maoxue, was squeezed into the mourning hall without standing still. went back.

Chen Mu was very reluctant to keep himself from laughing.

"Don't blame the old man for his clothes. The emperor summoned him to Beijing. From a distance, he saw a group of people in front of the mansion breaking into the mourning hall. Even the butler You was beaten. I didn't expect it to be Mr. Wang from the Imperial Academy when he came in. That's right." Chen As Mu said, he asked Zhang Juzheng for instructions, and said, "Come down and offer incense to the old man, can you?"

To tell the truth, Zhang Juzheng saw Chen Mu's teeth itching, and he had been brewing his emotions for a long time. When Chen Mu's face came out, the atmosphere was completely ruined. He had to calm down, and said in a bad mood, "Please go ahead."

After hearing the master's words, the boy servant who had been scared to the side for a long time had the courage to offer incense candles. Chen Mu, who offered the incense, said a few words silently, and then he said something: "The old master has knowledge under the spring. How would you feel if Ge Lao returned to his hometown and Ding You so much!"

Zhang Juzheng and Wang Xijue had different complexions, and the Hanlin outside the mourning hall were whispering.

"Who is this person?"

"Minister of the East!"

"Minister of the East?"

In fact, to be honest, these [-]th ranks were even edited from the [-]th ranks of the Hanlin Academy. They really don’t care about Chen Mu, the Minister of the East, just like Shen Maoxue who dared to write a letter to reprimand the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Indeed, the status of the number one scholar can bring him more confidence. But he dared to write letters not because he was the number one scholar.

The most important thing is to be different from each other.

The same goes for Chen Mu, not to mention Dongyang, even Beiyang, which controls Sanyang, has connections with the cabinet and the six ministries, but it has nothing to do with Hanlin.

This is different from Wang Xijue. A cabinet minister has an influence standard that has experience in the Imperial Academy. He must be a close minister of the emperor to join the cabinet. Once in the cabinet, he needs to have a good relationship with Beiyang. The senior members in the cabinet understood.

Nothing can be done without money, and now [-]% of the silver and [-]% of the grain of the imperial court are imported from overseas, who can be comfortable with Beiyang?

So even Chen Mu didn't expect that a newborn calf would not be afraid of a tiger.

With a reserved and stiff smile, Shen Maoxue cupped his hands and said: "Chen Shuai, I'm being polite. I'm not being rude to wait here. It's really a matter of life and death. I beg Shoufu Wang to let go of that extremely admonishing gentleman, not to mention this Even Chen Shuai understands the relationship between human relations. If you have nothing to do..."

An order to evict Chen Mu was issued.

"But I think you are very rude. You talk about personal ethics, but you break into other people's mourning halls and rank in front of the old lady. I haven't seen anyone salute the old man."

Chen Mu knew that it was unreasonable to reason, and he might not be able to explain it well. All of these people were Jinshi, so he just went there, so he just spoke from a different direction, raised his eyebrows and said: "It's because Mr. Ge wants to Ding You, it's not that Ge is old, so you don't need to salute, um... you guys are still very knowledgeable, understand!"

"I'm wearing an official uniform, and you are also wearing official uniforms. Between red and green, there is a difference of seven ranks, and you don't salute me when you see me. What's the reason?"

"Don't salute, don't salute, you are all Hanlin, maybe who will be the chief assistant in the future, Chen wants you to support me a lot."

Chen Mu turned his head angrily, curled his lips and said to Zhang Juzheng: "The old man must be in chaos right now, otherwise he wouldn't be forced into such a situation by such young people. His Majesty wants those gentlemen to be punished with court sticks and distributed Bianjiang, I also think that this should not be the case, just as Lord Wang said, they just said what they should say, this is loyalty to their duty, and it is all because the old man didn't know that today's punishment will be imposed."

"How can I go to Yunnan, Jiubian and other bitter cold places? I also ask the elders of the cabinet to suspend their grief and join the cabinet to take care of things."

Chen Mu looked at Zhang Juzheng and said, "After all, that's not the frontier of the empire."
