"Why?" The emperor asked.

Liu Yaze was silent and said, "The minister's reason is the same as that of Prince Lu and Lord Yang. ”

The reason why Zhao Fu, the son of King Lu, and Yang Zongyuan, the younger brother of Concubine Shu, was that Zhao Jun was deposed, and the depth of his sins was equal to being an enemy of the Zhao family, so he was not qualified to serve filial piety in front of the queen of the Zhou family. Of course, this is just a wordplay that officialdom is used to, but often wordplay is the best excuse to come easily.

The emperor didn't say anything more, waved his hand, and motioned to retreat.

Liu Yaze left the palace, got on the horse, and returned to the house, and his mood was as heavy as this day.

He was also a man of the previous dynasty, and he had ambitions when he was young, but his family was poor when he was young, and even if he was rich and rich, he did not have enough money for him to enter Beijing to take the exam. In those years of hardship, he was repeatedly humiliated by local officials under the corrupt regime of the previous dynasty, so he did not have the slightest nostalgia for the previous dynasty.

But he joined the rebel team during the northward march of Chen Zhao's army, and he knew what he wanted, so he found a way to attract the attention of the current emperor as soon as he entered. He started as a small adviser by his side, until he became a close minister of the East Palace after becoming the crown prince. The emperor regarded him as a confidant, and he also regarded the emperor as an indispensable hand to reach the pinnacle of his career.

Now the emperor's predicament is also his predicament, if the emperor falls, or is completely choked by the patriarch and nobles, he can only become cannon fodder. Recently, the court discussed the matter of inviting the abolished prince Zhao Jun, although he did not participate, but every sentence sounded shocking.

Zhao Jun was banned because of the Chen Wang case, and if he returned to the court, he would inevitably gather a group of courtiers who supported him in the fastest time. And if he gains power, it will be inevitable to rehabilitate King Chen, because the reason why Xungui would rather risk the crime of being accused of being a slave and bully the master is because there are too many heroes killed in King Chen's case, and they have a sense of death.

If Zhao Jun wants to get the support of the vast majority of the nobles in a short period of time, especially the nobles who hold military power, he will inevitably choose to rehabilitate King Chen.

As long as King Chen is calmed down, people who have had anything to do with King Chen in the world will be relieved from now on, and they will strongly support him because of this. This is a good thing, but in this way, he who presided over the trial and convicted King Chen back then became the target of public criticism! If the case of King Chen is unjust. So how can Zhao Jun serve the world if he doesn't kill him?

Every time I think about it. His courage and fighting spirit have been lost over the years, but now with his own strength, how can he argue with the four elders of the cabinet who have formed a group and so many courtiers who have supported Zhao Jun in the Manchu Dynasty?

For the past two days, he was very tired.

I didn't feel like I was back in the house. The lady greeted her under the corridor: "Why did the master come back?" The Man girl is back. ”

"Why did you come back again?" Liu Yaze walked slowly. Frowned and said, "Isn't it not long since I went back?" ”

Mrs. Liu sighed. He didn't answer immediately, and when he entered the room, he took his official hat. One side said: "I don't know what's going on, and I won't say anything when I come back, I guess it's probably because I'm arguing with my uncle again." ”

"Why don't you care about her?" Liu Yaze was in a worse mood, this young girl has always been a failure in his children's discipline, before she was fourteen years old, he thought that he had successfully trained her to be a lady, but that time in the palace she actually broke into such a disaster, and she was so ugly, which subverted his previous impression of her.

After returning from the palace, Mrs. strictly managed her for two years, so the year before last, she promised Lu Minde, the eldest grandson of Taifu Lu Huan, as his wife.

But Liu Manru has the ability to live a good life into a bad one.

After three months of marriage, he suspected that Lu Minde was having an affair with the maid, and pushed the maid's design into the well and drowned, but the body was fished up only to find that the maid was still a virgin at all. From here the husband and wife quarreled constantly, and every once in a while there was always news coming. The Lu family has never said anything unpleasant because of his face, but people also have face, and their own daughter is like this in her in-law's family, and she is still three points lower in front of her in-laws.

"Done." Mrs. Liu is always good-tempered, and sighed: "After so many years, I still haven't taken care of it." I knew that it would be better to marry Gu Song at the beginning, and if I was close to each other, no matter how much trouble I made, I wouldn't lose this kinship. ”

Liu Yaze didn't speak, and at this moment, he didn't have time to think about this. Besides, it's useless to think about it.

"I'll go to the study." He stood up.

Mrs. Liu said: "Eat a bowl of soup before going." ”

"Send it over."

He wanted to be quiet.

Mrs. Liu looked at her husband's back, sighed silently, and ordered the maid.

None of them are young anymore, and people in their fifties, although they have entered the cabinet, they are still not worried, and she also feels sorry for her husband.

"Madam, Lord Shen from the Metropolitan Procuratorate has come to find the master to play chess."

Just as he was about to enter the room, the minister outside the door came casually.

"Shen Guanyu?" Mrs. Liu frowned and said, "Go and tell the master." ”

Shen Guanyu and Liu Yaze often have dealings, although the Liu family has always been a little apathetic to the Shen family in the matter of Liu Yaze's entry into the cabinet, but after all, everyone has been safe and sound over the years, and they still maintain a friendly relationship on their faces.

When the entourage arrived outside the gatehouse, Liu Yaze was lighting incense. Hearing that Shen Guan Yu came, he also paused slightly in front of the incense burner.

"Please sit in Lord Shen's study."

He fanned the smoke in front of him with his bare hands and said.

After a while, there was the sound of footsteps outside the corridor, and with a low "please" word, a person walked in with a shallow brow and a casual fan.

"Brother Shen is here, it's really a long way to come!" He greeted him with a smile in his arched hands, and his posture was calm, neither humble nor arrogant.

Shen Guanyu also smiled: "Last night, I saw that the autumn frost was getting thicker and the days were getting colder and colder, and I suddenly remembered that you and I were cooking tea and discussing poetry in Dongtai Temple at this time last year, but since then, you and I have been busy with various things, and we have not sat down to eat tea for a long time, so I went straight to you after getting off the ya." I don't know if I bothered my brother? ”

"Why did Brother Shen say anything to disturb? Recently, because of the move of Queen Daxing to the palace, I don't have any important things at hand, and I am looking forward to someone to have a good chatter and pastime, but it just so happens that Brother Shen is here! ――Why don't we go and sit in a quiet place? He asked with a smile.

"Wonderful." Shen Guanyu nodded.

He raised his hand and motioned for the servants to go and prepare, which led Shen Guanyu out of the courtyard, and walked up the corridor while greeting all the way, and went to the open pavilion in the northeast corner of the mansion.

The weather in October was already cold, but it was still endurable to sit and boil tea in the open room.

Facing the lake, there are domestic servants rowing to collect the residual load. The surface of the lake is sparkling, and it shows a bit of agility in a quiet environment.

The two sat on the railing, and after the servant boiled the water, they were waved back by Liu Yaze, and the four sides were so quiet that even the sound of insects could be heard.

Liu Yaze said: "How can Brother Shen be so idle? ”

Shen Guanyu shook his fan and said: "You, the Ministry of Engineering who is in charge of the construction of the imperial mausoleum, are idle, and I am the imperial historian, what reason is there to say that I am busy?" ”

Liu Yaze smiled and said, "Brother Shen is smiling. Although the construction of the imperial tomb is important, it is the Ministry of Industry who is in charge of this matter. But Brother Shen, aren't you worried about who will perform filial piety for Queen Daxing recently? ”

Shen Guanyu raised his fan and said with a smile: "I'm just making fun of it." This is a matter of the Ministry of Rites, what does it have to do with my imperial history? It's just because Wen Zhenggong and I are now in-laws, so we can't leave. ”

Liu Yaze smiled and made tea with a pot. When Shen Guanyu put the fan to pick up the tea, he couldn't help but look at the calligraphy and painting on the fan, and saw that the pen was strong and running freely, and a tree of snow and plum was full of energy, so he couldn't help but put the pot and said: "Brother Shen, this fan is very well painted, can you borrow it from my brother to read?" ”

"Oh." Shen Guanyu handed over the fan and said disapprehantly: "The fan is not mine, but the emperor rewarded me." ”

The emperor often gives some gadgets to his close ministers, and Liu Yaze doesn't think so. After taking a serious look at the traces, his eyes fell on the payment again, but his expression couldn't help but be slightly stunned, "This is painted by Master Ding himself?" ”

"Exactly." Shen Guanyu raised his cup to eat tea, and said lightly: "Two years ago, when the emperor talked about the old ministers of the court due to illness, he couldn't help mentioning Master Ding, and he happened to have this fan in his hand, so he rewarded me casually. ”

Ding Taishi is for Taishi, and it is not strange that the emperor has a fan painted by him, but since Zhao Jun's accident, the Ding family has also fallen, although there is no major crime, after all, the identity has been sensitive, not only did not dare to sell the calligraphy and paintings of the Ding family in the calligraphy and painting shop over the years, but also did not dare to take out the swagger of the collection in the past, Shen Guanyu at this time magnificently took Zhao Jun's calligraphy and painting out of the market What does it mean?

He looked at Shen Guanyu deeply, "How is this Ding family now?" ”

"I don't know." Shen Guanyu shook his head, "Last year, I vaguely heard that two of their children won the lift, and the ranking was quite high, and they must be shining in the court soon." ”

Liu Yaze's forehead suddenly had some itching.

After Zhao Jun's accident, the Ding family was degraded, and the tone was adjusted, although the holy decree was not explicitly stated, it really meant to suppress. Now that the Ding family has made another move, and they did well in the exam, Shen Guanyu is walking around with this extremely eye-catching fan, does this mean that the Ding family is going to rise again?

The recovery of the Ding family, does it also mean that Zhao Jun is one step closer on the road to a comeback?

The tea soup was on his face, and the previous itching changed to a slight sweat.

He lowered his eyes, calmly refilled tea with each other, and said: "In this way, the descendants of the Ding family still have not insulted their ancestors, does Brother Shen's fan also show his attitude towards Zhao Jun's departure from the palace?" ”

These words came sharply.

But Shen Guanyu didn't react excessively, and just said calmly: "Maybe this is not just my attitude, but also the emperor's attitude." ”

Liu Yaze's brows moved slightly, and he leaned back slightly: "How can you see it?" (To be continued......)
