Chapter 6: Light and Shade
Shen Ji frowned slightly, and there was some displeasure on his face, Shen Lin'an was hesitant when he saw him, but his first reaction was relieved: This old man will finally use his brain. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info she thought so in her heart, but there was a look of hatred on her face: "When did the military regulations in the Gyeonggi camp have been so loose?" A military commander can also deliver news to the general casually? ”
She didn't say anything suspicious that the person could send news to Gyeonggi so long in advance, nor did she talk about the loss of the Ying Sheng Pill, but only said that the rules in the army did touch Shen Ji's fate: if it was something else, he didn't go around too much, and when he mentioned the army, he woke up in an instant.
Da Liao is a country developed by barbarians from the north, although from a historical point of view, Taizu is also a generation of Ming monarchs who are quick to learn and act, and after all, they can't change the barbaric style of that group of veterans. In other words, Taizu was able to conquer the country, and at first he could rely on brute force, but later, when he really met Jiang Bai, who was good at resourcefulness, he was also unable to move an inch repeatedly.
Not to mention the arrangement of the army, the planning of the government. Laying the foundation relied on the strategy of a high-rise house, and Dingjiangshan completely copied Jiang Bai's method of governing the army. Shen Lin'an now sees it, not only is he familiar with the military law of Da Liao, but he has also discovered the shortcomings that he had not noticed before, and he can't laugh or cry: this country, from hundreds of years ago to the present, does not seem to have grown, but it has been soaked with the decadence and extravagance of Dayan.
It was as if she had seen the reappearance of another Dayon.
As a member of the army, Shen Ji is also aware of this malaise: the dispute between friends and the rebellion of the heirs have long affected the seemingly just state apparatus, but after all, everything in the world belongs, and the army can also be said to belong to whom. And if the Shen family wants to preserve, they must try to remove themselves from the focus of this dispute. But to evacuate is tantamount to handing over the sharp blade to the bandits, which is tantamount to setting yourself on fire~.
Who is beating Shen Ji's idea? Shen Ji kept a calm face and tried hard to recall what happened. This is a group of people have already walked into the gate of the Shen Mansion, and the steward on the door knelt on the ground, but they all held their breath, and no one dared to speak. There is no other reason, the two most important masters of the Shen family are in a calm face and in a bad mood, who dares to laugh?
The wheelchair creaked on the bluestone brick-paved road, and other than that, Shen Ji landed on the ground with only an extremely slight footsound. An Ze sat on Shen Ji's shoulder, but was trembling by his increasingly impressive momentum. After all, he is still just a child, not to mention his willpower, his body and bones can no longer bear it. He shivered, his movements were not big, but it was enough to wake Shen Ji up.
He snorted coldly, and the green bricks under his feet cracked in response, and the cracked lines stretched out in all directions, just like a big net. When Shen Lin'an heard this, he glared back at him, obviously blaming him for not knowing the severity, Shen Ji immediately restrained his momentum and lightened his steps even more, but in his heart, he still seemed to be bound by such a net.
Shen Lin'an and Shen Ji went to the study of Yuehu Xiaozhu, and An Ze was arranged in Songhe Hall, where he used to live temporarily. Shen Lin'an and the two talked about it in detail, and as soon as An Zefu entered the Songhe Hall, he first withdrew from the servants and fell on the bed.
Covered by layers of glazed green bed veil, he laboriously picked up a white thread from between his teeth, and then, slowly, pulled out a golden round tube.
It was clearly a small section of the golden hairpin, and the front and back sections were extremely rough, the opening was slightly closed, and even a few tooth marks could be seen. An Ze rubbed the gold tube twice on the quilt, and then carefully used his little finger to dig a small hole in the wall next to the bed, and stuffed the copper tube into it, only to breathe a sigh of relief.
Xu was really tired, he tilted his head and fell into a deep sleep.
The angry lord finally left, and before the steward could wipe the cold sweat from his head, he received a new order: Shen Linan asked him to replace the cracked green bricks. The steward was a little disdainful in his heart: the eldest lady of their family has always stretched her hand too long, and it is just a matter of dominating the inner courtyard, and the affairs of the outer courtyard must also be questioned and criticized. It's just that the person is the master, he is a slave, where can he be silent about the master's family? No matter what, it has to be carried out bitterly. Because of the unhappiness in his heart, he is not happy to do errands, but Shen Linan has always emphasized the reward for meritorious deeds, and he can't earn rewards. And the rules of the Shen Mansion are not small, and the financial management of each link is very strict, and it is not a penny or a centimeter, and he has no oil and water to fish. The only extra income comes from the "tea money" of the "filial piety" of his subordinates.
After a long time, he was even more careless about his errands, but he was an old man of the Shen family, and it was not easy to drive him out of the house, so he had to keep him as an idler. This will Shen Lin'an let him change the floor tiles, and he only hummed and agreed, and when the little girl sent by Cuixiu left, he casually threw the messenger to a young man with a raw face, and went into the house to drink.
The little man took twelve green bricks with the pair of cards, and moved with four able-bodied men, and went out of the house to find a mason to pick up the bricks from the ground. The brick seemed to be only cracked, but as soon as the shovel came into contact, it immediately shattered into countless small pieces, and when the wind blew, it turned to dust. Everyone was amazed, and the little guy was also astonished, and circled outward around the cracks in the bricks, and everywhere he went was broken bricks.
In this way, sixty-two and a half pieces were finally filled in before it was completed. When the mason left the house, he carried a bag of broken silver, and the whole person was in a trance. The little boy was not at ease, so he went all the way to the door of his house, and the masons who were happy to ask him for a cup of tea also refused, and walked around the street, but entered another house.
The Shen Mansion in the night is more like a yin and yang fish, half of the mansion is brightly lit as yang, and the dark night outside is yin. And this is the center of the yang, which should be the place of yin, but on the island of Moon Lake, it is a void.
There was no light, no sound, and there was not even the wind passing through it, except for the lights on the other side of the river. Shen Lin'an was lying on the corridor that was used to entertain guests, and Shen Ji was sitting on the ground, half of his legs in the water.
He has his head on his left hand and a tin pot with a thin mouth hooked in his right hand. The lid of the pot had long since fallen off and sunk to the bottom. Shen Lin'an didn't speak, only listened to him: "Lin'an girl, why do you think I'm so stupid?" What others say is what it is, and they don't always think about it for themselves. I've had this problem since I was still drooling, and I have been told by your Uncle Chen for so many years, and there has been no improvement.
I know in my heart that you see that I haven't encountered any catastrophes and disasters over the years, but I have been rising step by step, but this is not my credit. In the past, I had parents, brothers, and when I became an adult, I had you, Uncle Chen, and later I had you, and you were all blocking guns for me. And I, if I don't mess with you and drag you back, I'm already smart. ”
He took another sip of wine at the spout of the pot, and threw the pot far away, splashing a shallow splash in the dead of night, and then disappearing.
Shen Lin'an felt uncomfortable until he felt uncomfortable, just at dinner today, the palace attendants came to give an order, and the Liu family wrote a complaint to Shen Ji for leaving his post and committing murder on the street. This was not a big deal, but today, after Shen Ji left, the Gyeonggi camp was burned to the granary.
The emperor asked Shen Ji to suspend himself from his post and introspect.
