Chapter 697: Void and Wrong

And today, Shen Zhiyuan is outside the Taihe Palace, in front of the Manchu and Han ministers, damaging the two most majestic people in the Han Dynasty, which makes the Manchu officials, especially those Manchu military attaches who are used to being "oppressed" by Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou on weekdays, feel relieved.

They felt that Shen Zhiyuan, this kid, was really angry with them.

In this way, he naturally doubled his kindness to Shen Zhiyuan.

And the Hanchens' attitude towards Shen Zhiyuan was completely different, and they were cold to Shen Zhiyuan one by one.

It's not entirely because Fan Wencheng was humiliated, but they found that Shen Zhiyuan didn't look like a person from them.

But all the civil servants who have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, regardless of whether they have entanglements in private or not, can get by in terms of face, especially in front of the Manchurians, which is called the same breath.

If you don't form a group, how can you stay in this foreign court?

But Shen Zhiyuan broke the rules, which made the Hanchens wary of Shen Zhiyuan.

But fortunately, it's not an offense, at most it's estranged.

Hong Chengchou reminded coldly without looking back: "Why don't you hurry up and meet the emperor?" ”

Before Shen Zhiyuan knelt down, he did not forget to thank Hong Chengchou.

"Minister Shen Zhiyuan pays a visit to the emperor."

Seeing that Shen Zhiyuan had already knelt down, Qian Qiaogong was very reluctant to lend one position behind Shen Zhiyuan, and also knelt down and said, "Minister Qian Qiaogong greets the emperor." ”

The little emperor Fulin raised his hand in a regular manner and said: "From Huai'an to the capital, the road is long, and I think I have suffered a lot. Let's get even. In a moment, I will give you a decree. ”

Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong got up.

Shen Zhiyuan said humbly: "The two ministers fought with the Qing army on the battlefield in the past, and the emperor can not offend us and others, it is already Longen, but I dare not ask for a reward again." ”

The little emperor said with a wooden face: "In the past, the camps were different, each with its own master, how could I add to the two because of the past?" As long as you are loyal to the court in the future and bravely make new contributions, I will never hesitate to reward. ”

"Your Majesty." Shen Zhiyuan bowed and answered.

At this time, Fan Wencheng came out of the ranks, first bowed to the little emperor, and then said to Shen Zhiyuan: "Don't be busy thanking you first." The emperor can not pursue you for the crime of fighting with our army in the past, but in the eyes of this official, there is still something suspicious about your return to the heart of the Qing Dynasty! ”

Shen Zhiyuan's face was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "We will return to the heart of the Qing Dynasty, and the heavens and the earth can be seen." Since Shen met Master Fan, he has always respected Master Fan, and regarded Master Fan as a role model and model. ”

These words caused the Manchu ministers to snicker, which made Fan Wencheng even more annoyed, "Whether heaven and earth can see whether you two are loyal, this official has no way to investigate, but this official has several doubts about the intentions of the two of you to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and you two must explain it in front of the emperor and the princes." ”

Shen Zhiyuan arched his hand and said: "Lord Fan, please ask, Shen Zhiyuan has told the truth." ”

Fan Wencheng asked with a gloomy face: "You are a fellow villager friend of Wu Zheng, the prince of Yixing Dynasty, I heard that in the past four years, you have been promoted from a talented person to a deputy thousand households, thanks to Wu Zheng's support, what this official wants to ask is, why did you abandon Wu Zheng and return to the Qing Dynasty?" Isn't that against the word loyalty? ”

Shen Zhiyuan glanced at the little emperor on the dragon chair, saw that the emperor had no disagreement, and looked around at the officials in the hall, and then asked Fan Wencheng: "Dare to ask Lord Fan, can you tell the truth?" ”

Fan Wencheng frowned and said: "Naturally, you have to tell the truth, do you dare to bully the king in person?" ”

Shen Zhiyuan nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, then tell the truth." Your Majesty, back to Lord Fan's words, in fact, Shen Mou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty for two reasons, one is that it is better to die than to live, surrounded by Prince Zheng's heavy troops on both sides, and the sea behind him, there is no escape, and if you want to live, you can only surrender. The two facts are not as Fan said, Shen and Wu Zheng are friends in the same township, but that was before Wu Zheng was named the prince of the town, since Fan is very familiar with Shen's past, he should know that Shen has always admired Wu Zheng's sister Wu Xiaomei...... But Wu Zheng refused to do so, Shen begged Wu Zheng to fulfill it several times, but he pushed him back and forth, and refused to let people go thousands of miles away, the root of which is nothing more than looking down on Shen Zhiyuan, which can be proved from daily events. Master Fan should know that there are two young men who follow Wu Zheng, and now they are both commanders and deputy commanders, while I, Shen Zhiyuan, am fourteen years old and familiar with the art of war, but I am still a deputy thousand. Therefore, Wu Zheng did not have much kindness to Shen Zhiyuan, so what does it have to do with the disloyalty in Fan Da's mouth? ”

Shen Zhiyuan's words made many Manchu ministers subconsciously nod their heads to show understanding.

Behind him, Qian Qiaogong was already dumbfounded, but fortunately, he kept his head down, and he couldn't see anything abnormal.

Fan Wencheng stared at Shen Zhiyuan's eyes, "The reason for saving your life, cherishing your life, and cherishing your talent sounds reasonable, but after all, you and Wu Zheng are fellow villagers, although Wu Zheng did not treat you well, but you are just a showman, and it is not a good treat to become a five-grade deputy thousand households in four years." Do you really have the heart to rebel against Wu Zheng because of this? ”

Shen Zhiyuan blinked his eyes and said: "I heard that Lord Fan is also from the Ming Dynasty, and his ancestor is also a descendant of Fan Zhongyan, the famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty. According to Lord Fan's meaning, should the imperial court also be suspicious of Lord Fan? ”

Fan Wencheng said angrily: "You dare to be the palace to stir up discord? ”

Shen Zhiyuan was calm, "Shen asked Master Fan before, and Lord Fan said conclusively, you must tell the truth ......." ”

Speaking of this, Shen Zhiyuan turned around and saluted the little emperor and said: "What the minister replied is true, there is a lie, I am willing to die to apologize." ”

The little emperor was silent, and all the courtiers also watched coldly.

At this time, Qi Chongge came out of the queue and said, "Master Fan, do you still have something to ask Shen Zhiyuan?" If not, let's move on. ”

Fan Wencheng really couldn't think of how to embarrass Shen Zhiyuan for a while, and his face turned a little blue.

At this time, Hong Chengchou suddenly spoke: "This official has something to ask Qian Qiaogong." ”

Qi Chongge glanced at Hong Chengchou, did not speak, and returned to the class.

A trace of resentment flashed in Fan Wencheng's eyes, but it disappeared in a flash, and he retreated silently, but in his heart, he had a grudge against Hong Chengchou.

You must know that Hanchen's huddle in the court is already a tacit matter for Hanchen.

But Hong Chengchou clearly knew that Shen Zhiyuan was disrespectful and humiliated to him, and at this time he also played a round for Shen Zhiyuan, this is the elbow turned out, how can Fan Wencheng not complain?

Hong Chengchou's understatement has several layers of meaning, one is to acquiesce in Shen Zhiyuan's retort of Fan Wencheng's defense of favoritism and thinness. The second is to agree with Qi Chongge's suggestion to discuss the matter. The third is that it doesn't matter if you believe it or not, anyway, I, Hong someone, believe it, since I believe it, you don't have to ask, ask the next one.
