After listening to Fan Hongdao's lofty arguments, Shen Yongmao Shen seemed to have taken a reassuring pill. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 It seems that the big things that made him panic don't seem to be worried.

If my father only retreated and did not really want to go, then what was there to fear?

At this time, there was a new rumor in the capital, it was said that the Shoufu boss wanted to resign, and the reason was a person named Fan Hongdao. That's right, it's the legendary Fan Hongdao who scolded Zhang Siwei to death.

This is likely to be a big deal, and officials are talking about it, on the one hand, they are figuring out Shen Shoufu's thoughts, and on the other hand, they have many doubts, what kind of person is this Fan Hongdao?

The front foot scolded Zhang Siwei to death, and the back foot persuaded Shen Shixing to resign, it sounded like he was behind the political situation in the Ming Dynasty, who did he think he was? But his actual identity is obviously just a small showman, is it not possible to have three heads and six arms?

According to the rules, at the end of the year, all major yamen will hold a public banquet, and officials of all sizes will gather together to celebrate the New Year, and the Criminal Department, one of the six departments, is no exception.

Since Shen Yongmao was admitted to the Jinshi in the eleventh year of Wanli, he entered the Criminal Department as the director of the seventh grade, and according to the rule of serving a three-year term, the term of office will expire after the beginning of spring next year.

After the term expires and the assessment is completed, you can consider the next step in your officialdom career, you can continue to work on your qualifications, or you can transfer to another position to change the environment, of course, the best result is to be promoted. 【ㄨ】

But these are all things that need to be considered next year, and now the main task of Shen Dagongzi is to participate in the banquet of the headquarters, and happily end the thirteenth year of Wanli.

The public banquet is actually a departmental dinner at the end of the year, which can be opened up and down. After a few rounds of drinking, the scene entered a state of drunken and profligate corpses.

At this time, a drunken Lang Zhong took the opportunity to toast and asked Shen Yongmao: "I heard yesterday that the prime minister of Wu County has the intention of retiring, is this groundless?"

This Lang Zhong must have really drunk too much, and he dares to ask anything, but it is also the attention of everyone. When the person next to him heard this, he quickly pricked up his ears and waited for Shen Yongmao to answer.

If it is placed in normal times, Shen Dagongzi will inevitably think twice. But at this moment, he was drunk, and he was worried that others would really think that his father was leaving, which would lead to the effect of people taking tea and cooling, coupled with the vanity of young people, so he said: "This is just a retreat." ”

Others suddenly realized, so they didn't say more, at this time, the criminal department Shangshu, Shilang and other bigwigs were all present, and they also heard the remarks of Shen Dagongzi.

According to the system set by Emperor Taizu with the standard of a workaholic like himself, the officials of the Ming Dynasty basically did not have a few days off throughout the year, and the year-end period was a very rare holiday time, so there were many parties and banquets. 【ㄨ】

In such a situation of frequent communication with each other, officialdom messages are delivered at least several times faster than usual. The phrase "retreat is advance" was uploaded to the ears of Shen Shixing Shen Pavilion at a dinner party the next day, and it was passed on to him by an acquaintance.

Shen Shoufu didn't say anything on the spot, but his face was a little ugly, and then he ended the banquet early and went home.

Today, the eldest prince of Shen went home earlier, because of fatigue for days, he didn't wait for his father, and fell asleep directly. I was sleeping and couldn't distinguish between the southeast and northwest, and I didn't know the spring, summer, autumn and winter, when suddenly a maid called at the head of the bed, and even stretched out her hand to shake the eldest son of Shen.

In this way, the eldest prince opened his eyes with great difficulty, and said angrily to the maidservant: "Do you want to die!"

The maidservant knelt down and replied, "The master just returned to the house, and he sent a message to see the uncle, so the slave and maid hurriedly woke up the uncle!"

When Shen Yongmao heard this, he knew that he could not blame the maidservant, so he got up and dressed again, put on a cloak to block the cold, and went out of the house to his father's study.

When Shen Shoufu saw his son coming in, he immediately asked, "Did you say that retreating is advancing?"

Shen Yongmao suddenly fell asleep, knowing that he had made a mistake by losing his words for a while, but he was caught by his father, so he could only half explain and half answer: "I drank too much yesterday and lost my words for a while." ”

Shen Shoufu, who is usually known for his generosity, was furious, and he couldn't control his anger in front of his son, and shouted: "Take the family law!"

The so-called family law is a stick, and the expert law is to press the rod on the ground. Shen Dagongzi was beaten ten times, and then he was helped up and leaned back on the seat.

After beating his son, Shen Shoufu only felt that most of the anger in his heart had disappeared, so he asked again: "Who did you listen to? Or did you come up with it yourself?"

Shen Yongmao saw that his father was seriously concerned about this matter, and hurriedly replied: "These statements are all from Fan Hongdao. ”

Shen Shoufu was even more disappointed in his heart, if these ideas were thought out by his own son, it would be a small bright spot, at least he would plan and think, but he was not cautious in his words and deeds.

But even these ideas were thought up by others, which is really embarrassing. Shen Shoufu couldn't help but have an idea in his head, could it be that his son is not as good as Fan Hongdao?

In fact, Shen Shixing likes honest people by nature, and he doesn't like Fan Hongdao's crazy life, but it seems that his son is worse than this, which is simply mediocre.

Pressing down on the messy thoughts, Shen Shoufu instructed: "What did Fan Hongdao say, you tell it as it is!"

Shen Dagongzi didn't dare to hide it a little, and truthfully retold Fan Hongdao's original words to his father. When Shin Shoufu heard that "Imjo wants to emulate Emperor Sejong in his heart", he immediately stopped and asked, "Has he ever explained in detail why he made such a judgment?"

Shen Yongmao said helplessly: "Fan Hongdao didn't explain much, but he was inexplicably very sure, and he didn't know where to get his confidence. ”

But Shen Shixing only felt very frightened, because he knew the doorway best.

When the son of today deliberately distanced himself from the ministers, he had little direct contact with the ministers, and spent most of his time in the palace, and all contact was maintained through the eunuchs transmitting edicts and dictations.

Even he, who is the head of the cabinet, can't figure out the mind of the Son of Heaven, let alone the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. It's just that the officials of the foreign dynasty still don't know much about this, thinking that the cabinet scholars are very familiar with the Son of Heaven, and Shen Shixing can only pretend that "this is indeed the case" in order to maintain the prestige of the cabinet.

However, Fan Hongdao dared to "cut straight with his iron mouth" and directly poke out the character and thoughts of the Son of Heaven, and seemed to be extremely familiar with the Son of Heaven.

At this time, Shen Shoufu also thought of Fan Hongdao's curse on Zhang Siwei's death, and felt more and more frightened.
