Shen Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is a very decent person and a very public-minded figure, otherwise he would not have become the banner leader of the Qingliu forces. If there is a slight flaw in personal morality, I am afraid that I will not be able to stand in this position.

As the so-called gentleman can be deceived in a way, this sentence does not mean that a gentleman must be broad, stupid, stupid and foolish in human affairs, but it is a shallow opinion, and it is the jealousy of the self-righteous cynics who think they are shrewd towards the gentleman.

The real meaning of this sentence is that gentlemen are more likely to be kidnapped by morality, especially when it comes to personal morality. If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight, and if you hold up the banner of morality, you must bear moral pressure.

It was you Shen Li who caused the accident, but your fellow juniors of the Qingliu forces used your inability to enter the cabinet as an excuse to launch one attack after another against the "innocent" cabinet scholars, so what will happen in the end?

No matter what the starting point of the fellow juniors is, whether it is to fight for power or to be angry with you Shen Li, but these fellow juniors will definitely be unlucky because of you Shen Li in the future, and their opponents are the first assistant of the cabinet and the university scholar after all.

You Shen Li can't bear to watch your fellow juniors go to the unpredictable abyss like this? Can your Shen Li's conscience be okay? Is the role of you, Shen Li, the leader of the clear stream, to watch everyone die?

Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, in order to protect the younger generations of the same way, you Shen Li must take responsibility and make a choice! Next, the wise and martial Fan Hongdao will point out a clear way for Lord Shen Li, that is, to reconcile with Shen Shoufu as the leader of the clear stream.

Although Shen Shoufu is not upright, selfless and awe-inspiring, his reputation as a generous elder is not bad, and he is not a fortunate figure like the "Three Red People", so what can't be united and cooperated?

The only price that needs to be paid is that Shen Li personally bowed his head to Shen Shoufu slightly, which can be regarded as sacrificing his ego to save everyone, but as a moral model, what a noble and great choice.

At this moment, Fan Hongdao did not strike while the iron was hot, but gave Shen Shangshu a buffer time. Now it is necessary for Shen Shangshu to convince himself that it will be counterproductive for outsiders to add fuel and vinegar.

It is difficult to grasp the proportion, Fan Hongdao thinks that he can grasp it, and the current situation is being realized step by step according to his vision. As long as Shen Shangshu figured it out, everything would naturally fall into place.

After Shen Shoufu receives the support of the Qingliu forces, the foundation will be further solidified. In another history of time and space, Shen Shoufu resigned in frustration and lazily before he was sixty years old in a few years, but I am afraid that it will not happen now.

Fan Hongdao once again had to admire Shen Shoufu's sensitivity, and suddenly found such a good opportunity to join forces. At the same time, Fan Hongdao also secretly sighed that he had finally changed the general trend of history, which was of great positive significance.

Strengthening the stability of the Ming cabinet and preventing the damage to the government caused by the future marquee substitution of the Ming Dynasty is definitely an act of great merit.

While Fan Hongdao was waiting, Shen Li Shen Shangshu suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed, Fan Hongdao hurriedly concentrated, he knew that Shen Shangshu had made a decision in his heart. And Fan Hongdao analyzed from Shen Shangshu's "sigh" that this result should not be too bad for himself.

Shen Shangshu said slowly to Fan Hongdao: "What you mean, the old man already understands. Gu Xiancheng next to him was a little anxious, and opened his mouth to say something, but was stopped by Shen Shangshu raising his hand.

Then Shen Shangshu continued to say to Fan Hongdao: "You can go and reply to Shen Ge Lao, this official knows what to do, and he will let Ge Lao see it in five days." ”

This answer was still a little vague, Fan Hongdao wanted to get a clearer statement, so he asked: "I am ignorant and unclear, and I ask the boss of the ministry to make it clear, so that I can give a clear reply to the elder of the pavilion." Otherwise, word of mouth will inevitably lead to misunderstandings. ”

Shen Shangshu was very surprised and asked: "You Fan Hongdao has always been a clever person, why are you still worried that there are mistakes in the transmission? The old man's meaning is not clear enough? You just go and tell Shen Shixing that the old man will resign and return to his hometown and leave in five days, can this still be understood?"

Fan Hongdao was shocked, he was here to persuade peace, not to persuade him to retreat! The task he received was to pull Shen Li to Shen Shoufu's side in order to strengthen Shen Shoufu's foundation, not to completely drive Shen Li out of the court!

"No!" Fan Hongdao and Gu Xiancheng exclaimed almost at the same time, glanced at each other, and shouted to Shen Shangshu in unison: "Please think twice!"

Gu Xiancheng didn't expect that at this time, Fan Hongdao still repeatedly grabbed words, it was like deliberately making trouble. couldn't help but reprimand: "Do you need your cat to cry and fake mercy?"

Fan Hongdao couldn't care about Gu Xiancheng, he was already confused, what did Shen Shangshu's brain circuit think? Is there a problem with his Fan Hongdao's expression ability, or is there a problem with Shen Shangshu's comprehension ability?

Shen Li smiled bitterly, "The old man thought about it carefully, what you said is not unreasonable. There was a wall in front of the old man, and the fellow gentlemen desperately pushed the old man forward, only to hit his head and bleed together. In this case, the old man has become a burden.

Therefore, the old man simply withdraws from it, and the gentlemen can also throw off the burden, and after reorganizing, they can travel lightly, and they can bypass the wall in front of the old man, which is not a bad thing.

The so-called leader is just a false name, without me Shen Li, there are others. As long as the people's hearts are still upright, there will definitely be latecomers, and the old man never doubts this!"

Fan Hongdao and Gu Xiancheng still had something to say, but Shen Shangshu said very decisively: "I have made up my mind, don't persuade anymore!" Then Shen Shangshu got up and was about to send off the guests, Fan Hongdao and Gu Xiancheng were very helpless, so they could only leave the Shen Mansion and hurriedly left.

One of the six ministries, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu, who is only one step away from entering the cabinet, must be a shock to the court. Fan Hongdao, who was on the road, was as big as a fight, how could he go back and hand over to Shen Shoufu? This is really a mess, and he has turned persuasion into persuasion to retreat.

After thinking about it, Fan Hongdao turned south and went to the Nancheng Branch Office of Daxing County in the outer city. He was going to find Shen Yongmao Shen Gongzi, and then took Shen Dagongzi to Shen Mansion to wait for Shoufu to go home from work.

Shen Dagongzi was sitting in the branch office bored, and when he heard Fan Hongdao's request, he said very sourly: "Didn't you have a good time talking with your father, and you still need to drag me to meet you?

Fan Hongdao said helplessly: "Ling Zun entrusted me to do something, but I made a mess, there was a huge mistake, and I need Tang Zun's help to transfer from it!"

Shen Dagongzi's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "It seems that you are in trouble? Then I must go and take a look!"
