Chapter 567: The Emperor's Taboo
People who are familiar with the sea are like women who are familiar with things between men and women, and they will not be afraid, Shen Kuo led the fleet to Dengzhou, and there were gifts from the master to Uncle Zhang in the fleet.
Now the Lu family is a banner on the sea, as long as it is a person walking on the sea, whether it is an army or a businessman, they will give the Lu family three points of thin face, because they know who brought them today.
The Dengzhou Naval Division has also been formed, and now they are only one step away, the ship has not been built, the big ship is not, and there are many small boats.
After seeing that it was a merchant ship and not a pirate, the people of the Dengzhou Navy Division became bolder, and when they looked at the dozen or so ships full of goods, their minds came alive again.
"From Guangzhou? Get your tax stamps and certificates out. ”
How could Shen Kuo not know what they wanted to do, the guards next to him were dissatisfied, and wanted to go up and reason with the people of Dengzhou Water Master, Shen Kuo said with a smile: "Give Uncle Zhang face, don't make trouble, destroy wealth and eliminate disasters, they are the head snakes of the land, there is no need to get along with them." ”
When the guard gave the other party a tax stamp and identification, he stuffed a hundred yuan of redemption and a silver coin into the prosecutor's hand, but sadly the bribe was illiterate and didn't know what to do with the redemption ticket for a long time.
"Captain, this thing in your hand is a hundred yuan, you can go to that Da Song Bank to exchange a hundred yuan." As for the silver coin, which was worth ten cents, the lad knew that he had only envy.
The team leader thought about it in his heart, the silver coin was obviously for himself, and he could divide the money into twenty yuan, and the thirty yuan money was in hand, and it was really a fat sheep, but when he saw Shen Kuo, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, could he earn a little more.
Greed is a person's nature, but if you don't control it well, you may ruin a person's life at any time.
"With this little money, you want to send us away, send us Hanako, who do you look down on?"
Shen Kuo felt a little unhappy in his heart, Dengzhou is where Uncle Zhang's hard work lies, he feels that such a small difficulty is nothing, and such things are not uncommon in Guangzhou, but how long has Dengzhou Seaport been built, and now this atmosphere is pervasive, what will happen in the future, can there be any guarantees?
"Oh, then you name it, I'll listen." Shen Kuo said quietly.
The team leader didn't expect Shen Kuo to speak so well, so he held back the happiness in his heart and pretended to be casual: "Just let my brothers go to Mingyue Tower on the sea to have a good night." ”
Shen Kuo also wanted to tease this squad leader to see if he could take more things out of his mouth, but the guards were not used to their problems, and the guards had seen too many such people.
"Aren't you afraid that too much money will kill you? The Yamen of the Dengzhou Governor watched you extort merchants as you pleased, and were indifferent. ”
The team leader sneered: "You are a lowly merchant guard and you are here to pull the prefect's yamen, do you know that the door of the prefect's yamen is open to that side?" I really laughed at it. ”
Shen Kuo's guards also wanted to go back sarcastically, Shen Kuo waved his hand and said: "Give you a piece of advice, be a man, you must be content, and you must also know your position, it should be yours, you take it, it shouldn't be yours, and taking it is a disaster or a blessing." ”
The squad leader thought to himself, if you knew how much money I spent for the position of this squad leader, I am afraid you would not say this, it is because the family has taken out all the belongings.
However, Shen Kuo's temperament still put a lot of pressure on him, and he wanted to take the money in his heart, but he didn't want to lose this face in front of his brothers, and he would have to mix in this realm in the future?
After a little stalemate, someone came to their side, Dengzhou Seaport has not been established for a long time, so the facilities are not perfect, dozens of ships are blocked there and no one dispatches, or alarm the port management personnel.
One thing descends one thing, the team leader saw that the people of the prefect's yamen instantly became dogs, but the people of the prefect's yamen changed their faces when they saw the flag on Shen Kuo's boat, he was a staff member of the Zhang family, and Zhang Yu sent him to assist Zhang Dian after Zhang Dian was a jinshi, and he was clear about the relationship between Zhang Dian and the Lu family.
"I don't know that it's the one from the Lu family on the ship, and when I arrived in Dengzhou, I asked someone to deliver the letter, and our prefect will go to greet him."
As the saying goes: "Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person", Shen Kuo saw that people recognized him as the Lu family, so it was not good to sit on the boat anymore, the most uncomfortable thing at the moment was the team leader, the sweat on his forehead was like rain.
"I'm Shen Kuo, I thought that this little thing wouldn't trouble Uncle Zhang, but I didn't expect to be entangled by a little ghost."
Shen Kuo, that Chang San knows who it is, and the person who can call his own master and uncle can only be a personal disciple from Luoyang and Wangbeihou, and this identity is that he can't afford to offend! Wangbei Hou is now just like the middle of the day, he glanced at the team leader, he really hated this unknown team leader.
"They are not sensible, they don't know your identity Shen Gongzi, you don't remember the villain, look at the prefect's face, spare him once!"
Chang San said so, if Shen Kuo is still entangled, then he will be left behind, Shen Kuo knows that Chang San will not let go of the team leader easily after he leaves, and besides, he really didn't take it to heart.
"Has Uncle Zhang been busy lately? Here are the things that my master brought to him, and I need Uncle Zhang to sign for it. ”
Chang San smiled bitterly: "Thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground, everything here is equivalent to starting from scratch, many things are done for the first time, the prefect is also very cautious, often I can't see his shadow, but what about today in the Yamen?" ”
Walking into Dengzhou City, Shen Kuo's first impression was that it was clean, there were no beggars, and no one littered, and when he saw the public security patrolling everywhere, he understood that Uncle Zhang had no problem with his thinking, and it seemed that there was no problem in controlling the situation in Dengzhou.
Because Shen Kuo went to Dengzhou this time to send something to Zhang Dan, the two of them chatted for a while, and Shen Kuo said goodbye when he saw that Zhang Dian was busy with his feet and did not touch the ground, what else did he have to do when he returned to the capital? Shouldering the heavy responsibility assigned to him by the master.
This time their ship was not too big, and they could go directly from the Bohai Sea to Bianjing, and five days later, they arrived in the capital, and Shen Kuo handed over the follow-up matters to his subordinates, and he went straight to Wangbei Houfu with a few guards.
Cai Xiang was appointed by the imperial court as the envoy of the degree, and he was one of the three subordinates of the three envoys, which was equivalent to Lu Zifei's direct boss in the three divisions.
The rumors in the capital have already reached Cai Mengyue's ears, she can probably think of why her husband is, but she still can't help worrying in her heart, when he saw Shen Kuo, she was much relieved, since Shen Kuo is back, it proves that her husband has made arrangements.
"Master don't worry too much, the master didn't take this matter to heart, he felt that this kind of thing was normal, as a courtier, it is normal for our family to be suspicious of the emperor, and this is also the attitude that the emperor needs to make."
Cai Mengyue lined up her chest and said: "That's good, that's good, although there are many elders in the capital, but your master is a woman after all, it's not good to visit, Xiaoyun's bastard is not here, it's good for you to come back." ”
Shen Kuo said with a smile: "I'm in a hurry to come back because I'm afraid that my master will be sick and go to the doctor, now I'll go to Zhongshu first and hand over the master's recital, and my sister can rest assured, it's okay." "It's serious, but it's also important how things turn out, and he knows a little bit about it on the ship, but it's not specific enough.
After appeasing his master, Shen Kuo first went to the yamen, handed Lu Zifei's fold according to the regular procedure, and then came to an inconspicuous house in Bianjing City, and a little eunuch opened the door when he saw the token in Shen Kuo's hand.
"Godfather asked me to tell you that things have taken a new turn, and maybe the next wave of storms will be even more violent."
- Shen Kuo was shocked and asked: "What happened, the information said nothing a few days ago, has something happened in the past two days?" Tell me what's going on. ”
The little eunuch said: "Many people inadvertently interceded for Lu Hou during the court meeting, which touched the forbidden area of the emperor, the emperor did not have a seizure at the time, but he was furious in Funing Palace afterwards, and the godfather asked me to wait for you here as soon as possible, and today is the third day." ”
The idiom of forming a party and running a private business is a forbidden area for every emperor, and Zhao Zhen is not the only one, the failure of the Qingli New Deal Shen Kuo heard from the master that there was also this reason, and the emperor was afraid to see the courtiers who were twisted into a rope.
The emperor will only like his own courtiers, because not every emperor can do the same as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the founding emperor may be a little better, but the emperor who guards the country does not have such courage.
Staying out of the matter and standing by, will the emperor let him do this? I'm afraid it's difficult, it started because of you, you want to get out of it, and you're not the only smart person in the world, what should you do? His identity does not represent his master in many things.
At this time, there must be a person of sufficient weight to stand up to replace his master, thinking about it, it seems that there is only one person who is suitable, and he rushed to the palace of Langya County non-stop, and saw that Li Lin was called around by Gao Meili like a grandson.
"Understand, she is pregnant now, Langya County Wangfu is not my final say now, nor is my father the final say, she is the boss of this family, your master gave me a bad idea, let me endure the birth of the child, but I feel that the child is born and I am still a grandson!"
Li Lin is Shen Kuo's elder, and he doesn't dare to make jokes, because when the master came back, he told him that apart from his family, there was only Li Lin who could be trusted in the court.
"The relationship between you and your aunt is something that countless people can't envy."
Li Lin smiled and said: "You are really similar to your master's mouth, I know the purpose of your visit today, now what you can do is to go home to read and study, manage the Zhuangzi in the suburbs, don't do anything else, don't move when the sky falls, understand?" ”
Shen Kuo said: "When I came back from Guangzhou, my nephew brought a lot of rare things, and tomorrow I will have someone send them to the house, some of which are for my aunt's body, and there will be someone to teach the people in the house." ”
For such filial piety, Li Lin smiled unceremoniously, and did not forget to remind Shen Kuo when it was over: "Remember to give you a copy at Uncle Cao's house." ”
"Remember? I can't forget, I have all of them. ”
