The whole Shen Mansion has a lamp in their hands.

The buildings in a radius of several miles are resplendent from afar.

This is a scene in the capital at night, in the capital of this place where every inch of land is valuable, to have such a big mansion can be said to be something that everyone dreams of doing, so it can only become the residence of the prime minister.

In a certain house in the huge Shen Mansion, Shen Shixing and Lin Yanchao sat opposite each other on the kang.

The jade-white jade phoenix-mouth smoker in the corner of the room was spitting incense.

Shen Shixing picked up the blue and white lotus petal pattern lotus seed teacup in front of him, rubbed it in his hand for a while and said a poem: "At the inscription under the Ci'en Pagoda, the youngest of the seventeen people. ”

Lin Yanchao listened to this poem and didn't know the meaning of Shen Shi's words.

But when he saw Shen Shixing, he said: "Zong Hai, eight years ago, when you and your uncle were in the Jinluan Palace, the old man remembered this poem for some reason, when you were only nineteen years old, and your uncle was only thirty. ”

"Seeing the two of you, the old man also remembered the scene when he went to the palace to meet Emperor Sejong when he was twenty-nine years old. It was then that we had a teacher-student relationship, and among the many protégés, you and Uncle Shi were the two most valued by the old man. ”

Lin Yanchao lowered his head and said, "Students, thank you for your appreciation. ”

Shen Shixing nodded and said: "The old man believes that your words are from the bottom of his heart, your teacher and the old man are the same year, when you came to the house to meet the old man as a young man, the old man thought that you were just an ordinary young and ambitious person, but then you came to the house several times to talk to the old man, and the old man realized that you were not a good writer." ”

"The teacher praised it." Lin Yanchao thought to himself, when Shen Shixing mentioned the past at this time, was he playing the emotional card?

Shen Shixing said: "Your teacher is a gentleman, out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, and you ...... Out of the blue. The old man doesn't want to have praise for you in person, so he won't say much. As for Uncle's talent, he is not below you, he has lofty ambitions, is not kitsch, and you are generally a capable minister who can rule the world. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Shixing sighed: "He is a native of Wuxi, is half a fellow of the old man, a few years ago the old man suffered from eczema, he sought medical advice for the old man, the old man was very moved, when he returned to his hometown, he repeatedly wrote to inquire about the old man's recent situation, respected the old man as Tao Yuanming, Xie An, and discussed poetry and calligraphy with the old man, the old man regarded him as his own nephew at that time, but today listen to your words, the old man is very disappointed in him. ”

"Zong Hai, remember that you can be smooth with this person, but you can't be reversible."

Lin Yanchao listened to Shen Shixing's words, and immediately admired, a sentence can be smooth, not reverse, and exhaust Gu Xiancheng's character. When you are friendly with him, you can dig out your heart and lungs for you, but once you go against his will, people will immediately turn their faces and deny people, and the original friendship will be all in vain.

"To be an official, you must focus on the common people, but you must also have a human touch, and when you are an uncle, there is too little human touch." Shen Shixing sighed.

"Teacher, Uncle Shi just can't get used to Zhang Whale for a while, and he has always respected his teacher."

"Respect?" Shen Shixing shook his head and said, "He knows that the old man doesn't like Zou Yuanbiao, but he has a lot of private dealings with him and calls each other gentlemen, is this respect?" ”

Lin Yanchao suddenly realized in his heart that this was the case.

Zou Yuanbiao impeached and removed Shen Shixing's daughter-in-law Xu Xuemo from office, so Shen Shixing has been reinforcing him.

But Gu Xiancheng knew this, but he had a private relationship with Zou Yuanbiao and respected him as a gentleman. If Zou Yuanbiao is a gentleman, then isn't Shen Shixing a villain?

Lin Yanchao said: "Uncle, it's also careless." Teacher, for my sake, I beg you to spare Uncle Shi this time. ”

"At this time, you still intercede for him? In fact, after you left my house that day, Uncle Shi went to see you, and the old man later got the news from the mouth of the person next to Uncle Gu...... The old man has been waiting for you to come to the door to tell you for the past few days, and today he is finally waiting for you to come, and the old man is very pleased. ”

Lin Yanchao was stunned when he heard this.

Shen Shixing has already gotten up.

Lin Yanchao said: "Teacher, the student knew that Uncle Shi was not the opponent of the teacher, and today I came to tell him, not only because of the teacher's years of cultivation of the student, but also because when the student was imprisoned, it was Uncle Shi who defended it with all his strength and tried his best to save him." This kindness cannot be repaid by the students. ”

Shen Shixing said with a smile: "You defend him so much, because you are worried that when the old man takes action to rectify Uncle Gu, he will know that you are telling the old man, right?" ”

Lin Yanchao flatly denied it: "Teacher, the student doesn't have this intention. ”

Shen Shixing nodded and said: "But don't worry, the old man will not take action to rectify Uncle Shi first, and the matter of impeaching Zhang Whale is not as simple as it seems." ”

Lin Yanchao asked, "Does the teacher mean that there is another person behind Uncle Shi?" ”

"Of course, Quan Jue is deeply entrenched in the palace, and it will be difficult to cut it if it is not the same kind of fight, such as Xianzong Dynasty Wang Zhi, Shang Ming squeezed it; Wu Zongchao Liu Jin, then Zhang Yongzhi, I and other Confucian ministers of the foreign court, An can compete with Yu, Cheng, Qiu, and Tian to win or lose? Uncle Gu, if there is no one to support him, how can he impeach Zhang Whale, and he is not the minister who is waiting for the death impeachment. ”

Lin Yanchao listened to Shen Shixing's words and finally understood the ins and outs of this matter.

Gu Xiancheng wanted to make a move on Zhang Whale because he had the support of Da Jue in the palace. And he was demoted to Nanjing because of Gao Huai's departure, which caused him to lose his eyes and ears in the palace, so he didn't hear any news about this matter.

"So which minister is going to do something to Zhang Whale? Is it the master of ceremonies who seals Zhang Cheng? Or Chen Ju, or Tian Yi? ”

After Lin Yanchao asked, he also knew that Bai Wen, any one of these three people was enough to fight against Zhang Whale, and it seemed that Zhang Whale's good life was reversed.

But what about Shen Shixing's attitude?

Stay out of the middle of the matter and sit back and watch the success or failure? Or do you want to get political prestige?

If Shen Shixing really didn't want to discuss with him, he said: "You don't care about this matter, you can do your duty." ”

Lin Yanchao immediately said that he had retired.

Shen Shixing actually sent Lin Yanchao out of the house in person, and then said: "Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and he will see the hearts of the people over time, Zong Hai, you are really smart, after the old man is the official, the affairs of the court will be entrusted to you." ”

Lin Yanchao felt a pang in his heart, Shen Shixing had said similar things in the past, but they were all vague, but today he gave himself a letter for the first time.

He did not hesitate to betray Gu Xiancheng, isn't it for all this.

Lin Yanchao immediately said with sincere fear: "The words of the teacher, the students dare not be, Zhu Shanyin and Shen Siming are far above the students regardless of their talents and qualifications, and the students dare not compete with them." ”

Facing Lin Yanchao's words, President Shen Shi smiled, but avoided replying: "The talents and spirits of the two of them are not as good as yours, the old man once said that if you enter the cabinet, you will have a considerable career in the future, but I am afraid that you will forget the original intention of cultivating Qi Zhiping!" ”

Lin Yanchao said to President Shen Shi: "Students will never dare to forget. ”

Shen Shixing nodded slowly.

Immediately, Lin Yanchao stepped on the moonlight and left from Shenfu.

When he got on the sedan chair, Lin Yanchao finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
