(92) County Lord
The name of the county lord of Jingshu was freshly baked not long ago.
The county lord's boudoir name is Shen Yao.
After the New Year's Festival, on the third day of Shen Zhan's reign, he turned out the post of Shen Yao's father, Liang Wang Shen Shao, asking Shen Yao to be the county lord.
In front of the ministers, he handed the post to Xu Chen's father Xu Nanjiang with a smile, "Aiqing, I have a question, I wonder if Aiqing can share my worries?" ”
Xu Nanjiang, the secretary of the ministry, saw that the post was from King Liang, and his legs and feet were weak, and he came out with a miserable smile, "Your Majesty, Weichen, Weichen is willing to go to the soup for Your Majesty, and I will not give up!" ”
"There's no need to go to the soup, I just want to ask, when I paid a private visit to Weifu, I met the children of this prince Shangshu bullied my head, should I swallow my anger for the sake of the overall situation, or should I immediately kill the bully on the spot to prevent future troubles?"
The emperor, who gradually began to grasp power, became more and more cold-hearted and black-hearted in the court.
Lord Xu couldn't even imagine that he was hiding for fear that his political enemies would expose the matter, and he would be asked by His Majesty the Emperor himself.
He couldn't have imagined that he would admit his mistake and teach his son a lesson, but His Majesty pierced this layer of window paper.
He was still full of confidence, His Majesty and the queen mother left the palace, His Majesty would not dare to say it in front of the minister, after all, this is a royal private matter, as long as he is not put out by his political enemies, forcing His Majesty to dispose of himself and Chen'er in front of the ministers, then it will be fine.
But I didn't expect that His Majesty's face was not thin at all, and he was willing to put this matter on the table.
Xu Nanjiang still stayed in the impression that he needed the assistance of these old ministers when His Majesty ascended the throne two years ago, but he forgot that in the past two years, he was getting old and his ambitions were fading, while His Majesty was growing up rapidly to become a real emperor.
Xu Nanjiang's heart was empty, his lips were dry, and he watched Shen Zhan casually tell the story of the Lantern Festival night.
In addition to concealing the details of his previous dealings with King Liang, he only said that his son Xu Chen accidentally met King Liang's daughter once, and Shen Yao pressed Xu Chen, so he had to accompany him to visit the capital, so he had to come out later.
What kind of character is King Liang's daughter, the ministers present still have a spectrum in their hearts, and they don't know, as early as when King Liang entered Beijing in order to ask for his daughter, he didn't leave, and he also quietly sent someone to the northwest to inquire clearly.
Speaking of which, King Liang's family is messy enough.
Concubine Ji gave birth to the eldest son of Princess Liang before she was a child, and she was smart since she was a child, and King Liang treated him as a concubine.
The concubine lived in a simple house, and she hid herself very well, except for her son, who was a little famous, no one in the northwest knew what the concubine looked like.
But the name of spoiling concubines and killing wives still spread.
Without him, Princess Liang died of weakness not long after giving birth to Shen Yao.
It is said that the concubine wanted to ascend the throne with her son, and when she saw that the princess gave birth to another daughter, she forced the princess to death.
But so many years have passed, and the concubine who gave birth to the eldest son has not moved at all.
Some people said that King Liang snubbed the concubine, but King Liang felt sorry for the eldest son.
King Liang has so many sons, and the only one who can accompany King Liang to hunt and ride horses is this eldest son.
However, King Liang treats Shen Yao well.
But perhaps because of guilt, everyone said that King Liang was too doting on Shen Yao.
Over the years, Shen Yao has been lawless in the northwest, although there are not many things that hurt people's lives, but the reputation of romance has been spread for a long time.
Therefore, when Shen Zhan said meaningfully that Shen Yao had to let Xu Chen accompany her around the capital, and everyone thought of the appearance of the little son of the Xu family, they all showed expressions of understanding.
Then Shen Zhan inadvertently revealed that Xu Chen was still more aware of the rules in front of Shen Yao, and later knew that he had done something wrong, and sincerely apologized, and the ministers saw that Xu Nanjiang's sympathetic gaze gradually turned to a little praise for his son, didn't you hear that His Majesty had a good impression of Xu Chen's lost and returned?
That's right, the Xu family boy, the sons and grandsons of the uncles haven't been able to show their faces in front of His Majesty, this kid has made an impression in front of His Majesty!
As soon as Xu Nanjiang heard Shen Zhan say, he knew that this was to save face for himself and Xu Chen, and he was immediately grateful to His Majesty, and when he saw the eyes of his peers around him, he was originally inclined to be friendly with King Liang, and suddenly wavered.
When Shen Zhan saw Xu Nanjiang's appearance, he knew that the purpose of his words today had been at least half.
So he guided the ministers and made their decisions.
Although he is optimistic about Xu Chen, he still has to be punished if he does something wrong, so he will be punished to go to the Praetorian Guard to start as a small soldier incognito, and train for a year and a half.
As for Shen Yao, Shen Zhan was very embarrassed.
The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people.
Dispose of it, this is my uncle's child, and I am my sister.
If you don't deal with it, her mistakes are not forgivable.
So after the persuasion of the ministers and Shen Zhan's half-push, Shen Zhan decided sadly: I really can't bear to punish my cousin, but I can't ignore the law and discipline, so I can only demote the county lord who Shen Yao asked to be the county lord and give the word "Jingshu", so that Shen Yao can be like his person, and wait until Shen Yao behaves properly, and then be promoted to the county lord.
As soon as the will was given, Shen Yao was stunned on the spot.
How could she not understand?
The word "Jingshu" is not so much an expectation for her as an irony.
Everyone knows that they have nothing to do with these two words, and in the future, everyone looks at themselves and calls themselves Jingshu, and they are crazy when they think about that picture.
The most hateful thing is not this title, but this title!
The county lord and county lord, his father is the emperor's uncle, and he can afford to be a princess, and his brother advises his father to be cautious when the new emperor ascends the throne.
But I didn't expect that in the end, I would be crowned a county lord?!
The county lord is just a positive third product!
The territory is zoned in the northwest!
It is said that it is convenient for those who live in the northwest to take care of themselves, what are the territories in the northwest going to do? There is not a single hair! What about 10,000 acres of fertile land in the South China wetland?!!!
Shen Yao immediately wanted to tear up the holy decree and rushed to the palace to ask for clarification.
But as soon as he saw his father's disappointed eyes on him, but his brother's disapproving and worried eyes, Shen Yao suddenly looked like a deflated ball.
After a month of confusion, I always dreamed of returning to the northwest, and the daughters of those rude generals and merchants looked at me with ridicule, and the whole person became more and more irritable.
But what did my father say, this decision was unanimously decided by the courtiers, and they all blamed themselves for being too willful, otherwise His Majesty would definitely not treat himself like this, after all, in the days when he entered Beijing to ask for the seal, Shen Zhan also specially invited his Uncle Liang Wang to go to the palace to play chess and drink tea, promising that a county lord would not be able to run.
But who called himself so ignorant and lost the face of the emperor and queen for no reason? He even dared to want to kidnap the emperor as a male pet, but the emperor killed himself on the spot, all for the sake of Uncle Wang's face!
Moreover. This will is not made by His Majesty alone, it is all those courtiers who disagree with King Liang, and they are very happy to watch the wind fall into the well! This matter is involved in the court, it is already related to the reputation of the clan, if His Majesty and the clan are gently put down, His Majesty and the clan will definitely be criticized by those literati, and if you want to make a county lord or even a princess for this cousin, you can only give up, just ask your cousin to work hard to correct it, strive to reverse everyone's impression, and then be a county lord in a dignified manner.
These words were given by the chief eunuch to His Majesty, and the words that were quietly brought to King Liang could block King Liang's pace of going up again.
King Liang is not stupid, his nephew deliberately guided him in the court, and when he heard the news handed by others, he immediately understood. But his daughter is really at fault, what can he do? If it is himself, if someone insults himself and his wife like this, if he does not slaughter his whole family, I am afraid it will be difficult to understand the hatred in his heart! Even if Shen Zhan didn't expose this matter, but how big the capital was, he met the King of England at that time, and there were people from Xinghualou to testify, and it had already been vaguely spread all over secretly, even if Shen Zhan didn't say it, I am afraid that those old men of the clan would want to maintain the supreme majesty of the imperial power, and they would settle accounts after the autumn, and maybe they would be more ruthless.
Yes, indeed, if Shen Zhan wants to protect Shen Yao, it is not impossible, but now that it is clear that his daughter has offended Shen Zhan thoroughly, he is an emperor, why should he help her?
At present, Shen Zhan took the initiative to reveal this matter that he didn't have much face, and returned it to a county lord, it was already Shen Zhan who gave him the steps, could it be that he was still entangled with a dead face? Where do you put this old face of yourself when you pass it out?!
Even if a layer of face has been scraped off, you have to grit your teeth and swallow it, if this happens, thousands of eyes will stare at you to see if you will make a mistake, waiting to attack yourself!
Besides, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, he is a person with a ravine in his heart, take a step back from this matter, buy a good one from the clan, and then be decadent and decadent, and maintain and maintain the imperial power, the clan may change its gaze when it looks at itself, but it will be of great benefit to him, what is the new hatred and old account, in short, now is not the time, but there is always a time!
King Liang's heart was calculated and calculated, and he was a little sad to be obedient, but he agreed with Shen Zhan's will, and sent away the eunuch who secretly observed him after passing the word. Then he told his daughter, who he really loved, that he must not go to the palace to find faults, so he called the staff to go to the study.
Is that all? Shen Yao couldn't believe that his father would really bow his head to the emperor who was still his nephew, but his father was disappointed in himself this time, saying that he had ruined his reputation in the capital and would not come forward for himself. Is there only one way for me to accept the county lord? With shame in the name of a third-grade county lord, from now on, when you see those so-called ladies in the capital, you have to bow your head? When you go back to the Northwest, you have to endure the ridicule of those vulgar fools who can't get on the stage?
In the end, it was the cousin who came up with an idea for himself: There is no way to do it, why don't you try where the queen is?
Will this work? I offended the queen mother at that time!
But my brother is right, how do you know if you don't try? Everyone in the clan knows that the queen mother is the most generous and generous, and even the children of the concubines are really willing to protect, and they don't care about it at all. The queen mother is about the same age as herself, maybe she can empathize with the situation that may happen to her in the future? In the end, I begged for mercy, and the queen went to my majesty to blow the wind on the pillow, not asking her majesty to change her will, but to add some fiefdoms to herself, and give a small word or something to compensate herself, and when the time comes, she will not lose face too much, and she can be regarded as able to hold on.
When Shen Yao heard this, she couldn't sit still on the spot, and she didn't care that it was almost dinner time, so she changed into plain clothes for the first time, put on a slightly haggard makeup, and immediately rushed to the palace.
