Since the Xiyuan set up a Tianliang Temple, it is the peak of incense, and even the master Tianliangzi has become a fairy-like figure in the mouths of everyone, and his pills have also become the secret recipe of the gods.

For example, all immortal prescriptions are probably hard to find, but this viewer is very merciful, and he likes to give people scattered medicine, whether it is a wealthy family or a poor people, as long as he looks at it well, he will give medicine to the pulse, and he will not take a penny.

Although Tianliangzi is the master of the view, he is a shopkeeper who only guards his Dan furnace to make medicine, and does not care about any mundane affairs, so there are two other Taoists who take care of mundane affairs in the view.

At first, these two people were worried that such a loose medicine would lose the Taoist temple - after all, the palace lord had explained that this Taoist temple was to make money.

But Tianliangzi is the master in the end, and he is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and he is often accepted into the palace to preach, and the two can only watch and let him do it.

Because you don't take a penny, no one will not want it, and usually no one will make irresponsible remarks about things that come in vain, and it is normal if it doesn't work - it's white, on the contrary, if it works, it is blessed by the gods, and turn around and donate double the sesame oil and silver to worship the longevity star king.

Although there are many times when it doesn't work, it doesn't hurt people. And when it worked, Guanzhong was both benefited and famous, and in the end, it gradually became famous, which the two of them could never have imagined, and since then, it has been up to the Lord to watch.

Tianliangzi's medicine was not only distributed to pilgrims, but he also ate it himself, and also made it for his family. Especially his daughters and grandsons, he often makes some pills that strengthen the spleen and appetize, moisten the lungs and relieve cough, clear heat and detoxify, and so on.

When the season changes, Xiaodaotong will always make a few more trips to the Lu family to deliver medicine.

On this day, as many times before, the little Taoist boy who often came to deliver medicine arrived at Lu's house, Zhang Qingbai took the medicine and asked his father how he was okay, and then sent the little medicine boy to give the reward.

As soon as she was young, she made two dim sum dishes in the kitchen, packed a food box and mentioned it to the Shen family.

In the past, Zhang Qingbai would also do some food to honor Xu's family, but today, when she saw Xu's family, her face was extremely solemn, and she quietly asked Xu's to talk about it alone.

Xu Shi was surprised, and retreated left and right, and Zhang Qingbai took out a small wooden box from the food box.

The varnish box, which is carved with bamboo patterns, has a skewer with the words "Qingxin Pill" written on it, and inside is two rows of wax-sealed pills, and there is a talisman seal, and the yellow paper cinnabar ghost painting charm generally does not know what to draw.

But it was difficult for Zhang Qingbai to understand, in front of Xu's family, according to the instructions of the talisman, he skillfully picked out three pills, peeled them off one by one, and took out three of them.

This time it's normal text.

Xu Shi watched her movements, and her face gradually became solemn, and when she finally saw the content on the paper, her face changed greatly for a while.

Zhang Qingbai was about to explain, but Xu raised his hand to stop.

She took a deep breath before holding Zhang Qingbai's hand, and said in a low voice: "True people's great grace, the Shen family remembers." It's too dangerous. If you have the opportunity, tell the real person, take care, don't ...... again"

Zhang Qingbai has also been nervous, usually she has a clever tongue, but she can't say polite words at this time, and only after a while does she say, "My father...... My father is also in a hurry. If it's not a big deal, it's not ...... you dare," but I couldn't go on.

Xu Shi held Zhang Qingbai's hand tightly and said, "It's better to be careful." Today's Events......"

Zhang Qingbai seemed to have found his tongue back, and hurriedly said: "I just came to pick up my eldest girl from school, and brought some homely snacks to honor my aunt by the way." ”

Both of them looked at each other and smiled as if they were relieved, but this smile couldn't help but be bitter.

Zhang Qingbai didn't stay long, said a few words of gossip, and got up to say goodbye, but it happened that there was an urgent report from a servant woman outside at this time, and Qingyun Hou Zhou Shou died.

Zhang Qingbai hurriedly took advantage of the situation and said loudly: "Auntie, you are busy first, and I will come to pick up the big girl later." He turned his head and said solemnly: "Wherever there is a place where we are useful, Auntie, please shout at me." ”

Xu nodded with a smile, squeezed her hand again, and asked Fang Zhou's mother to send her out. turned around and instructed the servants to go down to do some funerals, and sent someone to inform Yang Tian, who lived in Jiuruju, to change his clothes and go to mourn with him.

This is the second funeral of the Zhou family.

In the wax moon, Changning Bo Zhou Yu, who had been sick for a long time, failed to survive the New Year.

And Qingyun Marquis Zhou Shouyuan was much older than Zhou Yu, and he grieved too much at his brother's funeral, and after he returned, he was bedridden, and he could survive the first month, and people followed.

It is the Zhou family of Chongqing Horse Mansion who has an enmity with the Shen family, although Qingyunhou and Changningbo are the uncles of the eldest princess of Chongqing, but in the end, they are two families, and the Shen family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to mourn and did their best. Shen Rui also hurriedly returned to the house to change into plain clothes, and went to the Qingyun Marquis Mansion to put on the pillar incense.

When Shen Rui returned home, he was called by the Xu family, and the mother and son entered the secret room to talk in detail.

Tianliangzi's hidden in the pill is the general content of Qiu Ju's whistleblower in front of the emperor, and I don't know where he knows.

Shen Rui did not doubt the authenticity of this matter, Tianliangzi also often preached in front of the emperor, and he must have his own channels.

It's just that he subconsciously thought about Liu Zhong, and then couldn't help laughing at himself, this matter is very important, and Liu Zhong is afraid that he will not dare to pass on the word to himself.

The emperor knows the relationship between Liu Zhong and him, and if he gets some news and makes a move, the emperor will be the first to suspect Liu Zhong. At this time, he didn't know the emperor's heart, and Liu Zhong dared to act rashly.

Shen Rui looked at the rhetoric carefully, and was almost angry, thanks to this eunuch who came up with such a story, "Qiu Ju is clearly a chisel attached!" This lie is not made up! It's full of loopholes, and it's extremely clumsy! ”

Xu closed his eyes and sighed: "The thief takes a bite and goes into the bone for three points." Don't you know that the tumultuous ...... in the first place" She seemed to be caught up in a long memory, and her voice gradually became low, almost inaudible.

Shen Rui's body stiffened, and Qiu Jusheng fabricated the change of forcibly touching the porcelain, and Xu's father Xu Youzhen was the man of the hour.

And this "thief bites into the bone for three points" is also fully embodied in Xu Youzhen.

Yu Qian, a famous minister of the Ming Dynasty, who was later praised by the history of the Ming Dynasty as "loyal and righteous martyr, and won glory with the sun and the moon", and was praised as a national hero in later generations, died under Xu Youzhen's sentence "If you don't kill Yu Qian, the restoration will be unknown".

And not long after, Xu Youzhen himself was framed by Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang's false words, but the word "resentment" was degraded and never returned to the court in his life.

A thief bites into the bone for three points, and "words" can also kill.

Just look at what kind of attitude the person who listens to the "words".

Shen Rui suddenly felt a chill behind him, he boasted that he was thinking about Brother Shou everywhere, and how many practical things he had done for the benefit of Daming. Thinking about it, Brother Shou also knows his merits and values his ability, no, Brother Shou is also constantly giving him opportunities and benefits.

However, his exploits, in front of the Heavenly Family, are 108,000 miles away from Xu Youzhen's efforts to rescue Yingzong from captivity and put Yingzong back on the throne in one fell swoop.

But what about the first support in the world?

In the face of the emperor's suspicion, great merit is useless.

Mrs. Sun will not be an internal official, and it is even more nonsense to accumulate wealth and deliberately rebel, Qiu Ju's story is made up in a mess and full of loopholes, but these are not problems, the question is, what does the emperor think, what does the emperor think.

Just like Xu Youzhen at the beginning.

And Brother Shou is not the first time to be suspicious of Mrs. Sun, as early as in the lawsuit of the He family, Brother Shou also personally asked Shen Rui if Mrs. Sun had done maritime business. Come to think of it, the He family must have blown the wind in the direction of the pirates at the beginning.

"Qiu Ju, it should be the matter of Mrs. Sun who the He family checked when he took refuge in him." Thinking about the beginning, Shen Rui subconsciously said.

He also sent Changshou back to Songjiang to check the relationship between Mrs. Sun and the second master of the second room, but because of too much time, he couldn't find any traces.

Xu frowned slightly: "Will it be then?" It's been a few years, Qiu Ju checked it at that time, but he has been covering it for many years? This is counterintuitive. Or who is there to deal with......"

If Mrs. Sun was crucified as a lieutenant who was saving money and garrisoning soldiers outside, he would almost have raised the flag to rebel, this is a great crime of rebellion, but it is the one of the nine clans.

To deal with a Shen family, such a heavy hand?

Although Shen Rui has risen faster, he is young, and he seems to have a promising future, which is indeed in the way of some people's eyes, but after all, it is only a fifth grade.

The volume of the five-grade official car in Beijing is nothing.

With such a ruthless move, it is more likely that he wants to use the Shen family to attack the two elders behind the Shen family.

Xu Shi muttered again: "Your cousin Wei ...... at the beginning."

At the beginning, when Xu's nephew Wei School took the imperial examination, someone took his grandfather Xu Youzhen to say something, and he was obviously the ninth in the second grade, but he was born and fell off the list. Thanks to his open-mindedness, and he didn't want to stay in Beijing, he just wanted to go south to honor his parents, so the Shen family found an errand for him in Nanjing.

The Xu family also has no doubt that this matter will lead to the change of seizing the door, and I am afraid that Xu Youzhen will have to talk about it.

Shen Rui's heart is also mixed, his maternal ancestor was accused of rebelling against the emperor's eunuchs, and his maternal ancestor was a traitor who slandered Zhongliang and did not end well in the change of seizing the door.

Is this really running for the two elders behind him?

It's still for him......

Shen Rui pondered for a moment, thinking carefully about what he knew about Qiu Ju, and thinking about the battle between Qiu Ju and Zhang Yong and Liu Jin.

Thinking of Liu Jin, his heart moved, and he said to Xu: "Mother doesn't know, in recent days, the Hanlin Academy has begun to spread that Liu Jin wants to forcibly recruit Dai Dabin as his niece and son-in-law. Although Li Jing is not a good person, he is also a new science jinshi in the end, how dare he let a jinshi die in prison in vain like this......

Xu's brows furrowed even tighter, and Pang Tianqing was afraid that the narrow-minded villain would be slandered by jealousy and malice, and Dai Dabin was even more innocent.

That Liu Jin's niece married Shaanxi Xie Yuangong at the end of last year, Liu Jin is widely spread, and the few people who do not go to the Chinese martial arts are the Shen family, and they have to give a gift. Although the scene was luxurious and it was a topic of conversation in the New Year, no one said anything about Dai Dabin at that time, why did Dai Dabin get involved after a month?

Li Jing's matter is even more ancient, and at the beginning, Liu Jin was powerful, even if someone gossiped, he also convicted Li Jing with lightning speed and smoothed out the case.

Now that these are turned out, it is clear that they are going to find trouble for Liu Jin.

"You mean, Qiu Ju is also stirring up in the middle?" Xu asked, Qiu Ju and Liu Jin are not in harmony, and she is also well aware of it.

But Qiu Ju wants to deal with Liu Jin and deal with the Shen family, and it has nothing to do with it.

Shen Rui pursed his lips, "Qiu Ju framed the Shen family with empty words and white teeth here, and stirred up public opinion to deal with Liu Jin over there, this kind of behavior is clearly and deliberately confusing the public." Wang Yue is now investigating in Yangzhou, and it is not so easy for him to get out. Now make some appalling rumors, pull some people into the water, and muddy the water in this capital, maybe he can have a chance to live. ”

Shen Rui was used to such methods in his previous life, and it was not easy to smooth out a piece of news, so he would find a bigger and more sensational news.

As long as the public's attention is diverted, no one pays attention to the previous news immediately, and it doesn't matter whether it is erased or not.

On the little emperor's side, he bit Shen Rui and Liu Jin, both of whom were trusted by the little emperor, saying that one was suspected of rebellion, and the other dared to kill Jinshi, in comparison, his idea was nothing.

Shen Rui sneered in his heart, Ruoqiu Juda's idea, hum, this trick to divert his attention, wouldn't he Shen Rui know how to play? He also has a "big gift" to give to Qiu Ju.

"He wants to stir things up, and we'll go straight to the center. As long as Qiu Ju collapses, no one will believe the lies he tells. Shen Rui couldn't help but clench his fists.

At this time, if you can't let Brother Shou know about it, you can't do anything. The more you show that your ability is indispensable, the more suspicious it becomes.

And if you really don't do anything, wait for Qiu Ju to make up the lie, and even concoct some so-called evidence, it will be the same as death.

Now take the initiative and take down Qiu Ju first. Once Qiu Ju establishes the despicable image of Qiu Ju's character of killing people and seizing property, anyone can kill, and lies can naturally be told, so no one will believe what he says even if it is true.

Xu closed his eyes, Qiu Ju's aunt fell into the hands of Zhang Hui and Shen Rui, and Shen Rui did not hide it from Xu. After thinking about it, she sighed and said, "If you want to use that lady, you still have to do it more properly." Since she can take care of Qiu Ju's industry, she is afraid that it will not be easy to get along. ”

"The mother can rest assured, and the son will take care of it." Shen Rui said, "I never let that person know who saved her, nor did he tell her what to do." She accused Qiu Juyuan of wanting revenge. ”

Originally, he thought that when the aunt who claimed to be the daughter of the Yan family was able to walk, he threw her out and asked her to complain to the General Administration Department by herself.

The General Administration Department itself has the authority to accept complaints of injustice or illegality, just like Shen Rui's Letters and Visits Bureau in his previous life, and now it is under Shen Rui's jurisdiction. As long as Aunt Yan sues the General Administration, Shen Rui has his own way to go up to heaven and listen.

And now, the situation is urgent, and I can't wait for the woman to be raised enough to walk on her own.

Shen Rui was calculating, he still had to talk to Zhang Hui and Du Laoba, how could he let this woman appear at the door of the General Administration Department without a trace.

*

I don't know if the people of the capital are too boring this New Year's Festival, and they haven't gossiped about many topics, but they have picked up the old news that "Liu Jin forcibly recruited Dai Dabin as his son-in-law" that has passed for a long time, and gossip is lively.

The rumors really annoyed Liu Jin.

Especially when his nieces and nieces and sons-in-law are not harmonious.

In fact, it can't be said that it is not harmonious, harmonious, but not beautiful, that is, he is too angry, respectful of each other, and raises his eyebrows - it's just that it is Shao Jinfu who raises the case over his eyebrows.

Liu Jin's niece talked about Jin Niang, because of the female zodiac father, she was a little more like Liu Jin, and she was very popular with Liu Jin. She grew up in the countryside when she was young, and she only entered Beijing for two or three years, although she was spoiled by Liu Jin, she did not develop the temperament of a commanding lady, especially compared to her sister, she is good-tempered.

She has a good temper, Shao Jinfu has a better temper than her, it's just, no temper.

Let him go to the east, let him go to the east, let him go to the west, let him stroke the qin and let him compose poems, he will execute without saying a word, that is, eat at the same table, she said "The fish is good, the husband uses more", Shao Jinfu can not move the dishes next to him, and only eat fish for the whole meal.

And as long as he chats with him, he will become a stuffy gourd, and ask him anything, he can say a word and never say two, but the attitude is surprisingly good, and he can listen to the golden lady chirp with a smile throughout the whole process, and finally say "What the lady said." ”

The truth is respectful like a guest, and the golden lady is like a guest, courteous everywhere, but there is no intimacy with the meaning, and it is to highlight the word "respect". It's not like a lady, it's like a stepmother.

When I went to the new science and technology Jinshi West Garden across the street, Tan Jin Niang watched the excitement in the private room of the restaurant on the street, and fell in love with the beautiful Tanhualang at a glance.

Although there were twists and turns later, she failed to marry Tanhualang as she wished, but before marrying Shao Jinfu, she also saw this Xie Yuangong through the flower corridor, and saw that he was also quite handsome, and her parents said that he would be the champion of the Duke after three years, so she was not dissatisfied.

But I didn't expect Shao Jinfu to be such a lifeless person.

After coming and going, Tan Jin Niang couldn't help but recall what he saw that day, the tanhua lang with a brocade robe and a white horse hat and a golden flower, so high-spirited, so chic and fresh, if he married him at the beginning, would he live a free and happy life?

After two months, the young couple quickly changed from respecting each other like guests to respecting each other like "ice".

Most of the Shao family are Liu Jin's people, how could Liu Jin not know the situation of the young couple, and called Shao Jinfu to scold, Shao Jinfu listened with a good attitude, what should be said, you have to say that he is dissatisfied, but he can do one thing after another...... No one can catch the slightest mistake!

Liu Jin only felt that a punch hit the cotton, and he was even more annoyed.

At the beginning, he took a fancy to Shao Jinfu's talent and promised his niece, and he was ready to help him as the champion three years later, train him to be his right-hand man, and become his own help.

can see Shao Jinfu's death now, that is, the staff have persuaded the young man that he is not very sensible in the end, and Liu Jin still feels that this guy can't be counted on.

Now that he is outside and turning out the matter of recruiting Dai Dabin as his son-in-law, he chews the root of his tongue, thinking that Dai Dabin has now published a collection of poems and anthologies, which is famous all over the world, and he has a good reputation in Shilin, and Liu Jin is an evil fire.

Some people say that Shao talks about the gossip of the young couple, not about Shao Jinfu's soft bones, but only that the daughter of the Tan family is arrogant and domineering with her uncle, and even Liu Jin's original surname change has been turned out and chewed again. Liu Jin is almost smoking.

And when it comes to Li Jing's matter, it's not just gossip, it's really going against him Liu Jin!

Liu Jin immediately woke up, what are these Hanlin going to do?!

In the next year, the Hanlin Academy won the emperor's praise for repairing the records and repairing the collection of ten thousand volumes, and it was about to tremble, and he felt that he had the capital to oppose his ancestor Liu?

Last year, he had already disposed of a number of Hanlin through Jingcha, including Xie Qian's youngest son Xie Pi, who had been sent away, and he was still very satisfied. Now it seems that I am afraid that Liu Jian and Xie Qian's remnants of the party have not been cleaned up, so someone will take the opportunity to make trouble.

It's okay, Jingcha isn't over yet!

This time, he, Liu Zuzong, will not be so soft-hearted, see who dares to provoke!

The study outside the Shouning Hou's house

Shouning Hou Zhang Heling has been quite comfortable recently.

Because, before and after this year, the two brothers of his old enemies, the Zhou family, died one after another.

Although the Zhou family is not as good as before after the Empress Dowager of Zhou died, the two old horsemen of the Zhou family are still jumping up and down without stopping, and they are not less against the Zhang family. Just before the two of them breathed, they also pitted the Zhang family and made the Zhang family spit out more Zhuangtian!

Thinking of these, Zhang Heling hated the root of his teeth.

But in the end, these two people are breathless, the children and grandchildren of the Zhou family are not successful, and a Zhou Xian is only because he has half of the royal blood, so he can get His Majesty's blue eyes, so he should not be afraid.

In particular, Zhou Xian also has three months of filial piety, and Zhang Hui will soon be filial piety, this Jingwei martial arts school is afraid that Zhou Xian will fly back to Zhang Hui's hands before he can cover the heat.

When it comes to keeping filial piety, his second son-in-law has already taken off his clothes, but his daughter is squeamish and refuses to take a car to hurry, wanting to wait for the canal to freeze in March before setting off north.

Today, Zhang Heling is discussing with his staff what kind of fat shortage to arrange for Shen Jin, the second son-in-law of Qifu.

said that the children of the Zhou family are not successful, but in fact, the Zhang family is the same, Zhang Heling's sons are mostly chaotic temperaments, and it is not good to be an errand when they hang a false position, and Zhang Yanling himself is a big man, what good son can he raise.

Zhang Heling's eldest son-in-law is not much better, and the eldest daughter ...... It's really just a matter of not mentioning it, and it's a belly of anger when you mention it.

Zhang Yujing took Baoding Bofu and a few grandmothers of noble families to do business this time, what business is not good, I want to make that Songjiang cotton cloth, and dare to assume the name of Gongbu.

This time, after checking in the palace, they were all planted, and they also implicated the cloth villages of the Marquis of Shouning Mansion and the Marquis of Jianchang, and folded Mrs. Shouninghou a sum of silver.

was contrasted by such a son, this son-in-law of the champion is really golden and shining!

Zhang Heling naturally wanted to offer this precious golden pimple son-in-law.

And in the past few years, the second son-in-law also seems to have opened up, when he was seeking to enter the Zhan Mansion for him, how much effort was spent, and in the end he was reluctant in every way, not to mention the money, and he had an awkward quarrel with his daughter-in-law.

Ding Wei has been idle for a long time, I think I also know that it is good to be an official, this time it is on the New Year's Festival, in addition to the New Year's ceremony, I know that the silver that the official lacks in the revival activities has been sent early. Well, it seems that Ding Wei returned to his hometown, and the second son-in-law did not make less money.

I just went to Jingcha in the year.,There's no shortage of people in the court.,A lot of shortages are vacant.,I can pick and choose fat and thin with him.。。 There is silver and there is shortage, and it is easy to get tight.

The Zhou family fell, and the second son-in-law got up again, Zhang Heling really became more and more beautiful the more he thought about it, and called the staff with a smile on his face, just waiting to hear the news of the analysis of the lack of children.

However......

"It's a pity that Shen Ying, the brother of the champion duke, entered the Zhan Mansion as the right concubine of Youchun Fang, but I am afraid that it will not be easy for the champion to regain and enter the Zhan Mansion." Staff Ding Ju is humane.

"Shen Rui, the clan brother of the champion duke, is now the right senator in the General Administration Department, but I am afraid that the position of the General Administration Department is not easy to find." Staff member Yao Ju is humane.

Zhang Heling's face sank.

These two are the closest yamen to the Son of Heaven, and they are also the places with the fastest promotion, which is the first choice in his heart.

"It's just a brother, not a brother." Zhang Heling said dissatisfiedly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he remembered that Shen Ruilai was really a brother. Thinking of Shen Rui's rapid promotion, he snorted again.

“…… There have been a lot of positions in the Hanlin Academy recently, ......" Ding Juren looked at Zhang Heling's face and said cautiously: "Although the champion is from the Hanlin Academy, in the end, the Hanlin is noble, and he will enter the cabinet one day, and he will have a reputation for this Hanlin experience." Now that Lu Kuo has just been taken down by Liu Jin, isn't the position of this waiter just for the champion prince......"

Zhang Heling said coldly: "Lu Kuo is a person that Li Ge Lao values, and he was let down by Liu Jin like this, Li Ge Lao is still very angry, didn't he see the fold of the beggar bones?" This is to force the emperor to let Lu Kuo go back. At this time, let's go and grab this position, so that Lu Kuo has no way back, will Elder Li Ge hate us to the bone? Huai Jin will also be suppressed by him in Hanlin. ”

Ding Ju's heart was slandered, and Li Ge Lao was clearly because of Jingcha's self-Chen Songshu, and the beggar bones were all lies, and where was the persecution of the emperor.

In the Ming Dynasty, middle and low-level officials below the fifth rank were jointly inspected by the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, while senior officials above the fourth rank were inspected by self-presentation.

This self-report is equivalent to a self-examination report, but it is only that he has his own shortcomings, admits his guilt against his will, and keeps begging.

Who can survive to the four grades in Beijing, who is not working hard to climb up, how can they really write about their own shortcomings and other downfalls, just looking for some innocuous little faults, or simply talking the opposite, praising and praising themselves.

It's a very pragmatic thing.

Of course, it depends on what kind of emperor you meet.

When he met the first emperor, he was relieved and not allowed to speak. And when encountering today's situation, it is very likely that because you don't like it, you will directly wave your pen to play it - such as Ma Wensheng at the beginning.

So in fact, this matter is still risky, but because of the rules, the ministers have to pinch their noses and write, so not to mention Li Dongyang's "resignation", all the cabinet elders in the cabinet and all the people above the fourth grade in Beijing have written it, including Jiao Fang, Liu Yu and others.

"Elder Li Ge is the first assistant, and he has twice resigned in accordance with the police rules." Ding Juren had no choice but to say euphemistically.

"Recently, Grandpa Liu has made a lot of people...... Li Ge Lao is the majority, and if you think about it, Ge Lao is dissatisfied, and he can't let everyone be reinstated. Yao Juren laughed.

However, a staff member surnamed Qu disagreed, and said, "Hanlin is noble, but the record of the filial piety temple has also been completed, and the Wanjuan Pavilion has also been erected, and there is no Qiaozong." He said, "If you don't plan for the ministry, you will also plan for the children of the Hou Mansion in the future." ”

Ding Juren Yao Juren scolded in his heart, the children of the Hou Mansion are all the errands of Jinyiwei, where can they use the officials! The officials are now firmly in the hands of Liu Jin Jiaofang, and it is not easy to aspire to go up, how much authority can you have to be a five-grade outsider.

"Elder Li Ge is now rectifying the Siyi Pavilion, isn't he also a Qiao Sect?" Ding Juren's voice was slightly lowered, "In this current situation, the emperor must open the sea." When the time comes, the champion will know the most about it, how can it not be reused? ”

Zhang Heling couldn't help but look at him, as if he was moved, but waved his hand again.

Ding Yao glanced at each other, and Yao Juren just asked: "I don't know why Master Hou is worried......"

At this time, there are henchmen and butlers outside. The man didn't say anything, but walked up to Zhang Heling and whispered a few words in his ear.

Zhang Heling showed a bored look on his face, and he didn't care if it was a secret or not, so he said bluntly: "The surname Qiu is difficult to protect himself, and he still has a shy face to relieve Benhou's worries?" Go and tell him that Benhou is worry-free, and he doesn't bother! ”

The butler glanced at the staff around him, and his face was quite embarrassed.

When the staff heard this, they all understood.

Just this morning, an injured woman was suddenly carried to the door of the General Administration Department by two idlers, saying that she wanted to file a complaint, but before the official could accept it, the woman shouted on the street, Qiu Ju killed Yangzhou Yan Shang Du Cheng, took his family property, and there were all kinds of lawlessness.

She claimed to be Qiu Ju's concubine, she knew Qiu Ju's affairs, Qiu Ju was going to kill her now, she asked the people on the street to testify, if she couldn't live today, it was Qiu Ju's doing.

Although Qiu Ju is no longer the overseer of Dongchang, he is still a famous eunuch by the emperor's side, and it is such an earth-shattering event, the little officials are weak when they hear it, and they don't know what to do for a while.

The two idlers were also frightened, and threw down the golden rings of pearls and hairpins, and said again and again that they were only hired by the woman, but they coveted her jewelry, and they did not know what the woman wanted to sue, and they had nothing to do with them.

Some people said that Qiu Jufu had died a few days ago, saying that it was a snowy road slide and a carriage fell off a cliff and died.

When the little official saw that the people were gossiping and gossiping, he was afraid that something would happen to him and he would take responsibility for it, so he hurriedly asked someone to carry the woman in.

The matter was so big that the news immediately spread all over the capital.

The Hou Mansion of Shouning naturally also knew.

The Du family was washed in blood, how cruel the methods were, and now it is Wang Yue who is investigating the case, and this woman has picked a complaint from the General Administration Department who can hear directly to the sky, and everyone guesses that Qiu Ju is over.

Ding Juren said: "Hou Ye, Zhongguan is very narrow-minded, although he is about to fall now, Hou Ye should not be too contemptuous of him, in case he bites Hou Ye when he is dying and struggling, although Hou Ye is not afraid of him, it is not worth hurting the emperor's nephew and uncle for such a person." ”

Speaking of the little emperor, Zhang Heling's eyes flashed, and only he knew how much of this nephew's love was left. He hummed and instructed the butler, "Needless to say, send it away." ”

And the steward bowed and withdrew.

However, without a moment's effort, the housekeeper ran back at a faster speed than just now, his face was much uglier than before, and he still whispered to Zhang Heling's side.

Zhang Heling had a very impatient expression, but after hearing this, his face also changed color.

Although all the staff members were silent on their faces, they couldn't hide their curious eyes, and they all stared at Zhang Heling.

Zhang Heling glanced at them, but sent everyone away without saying anything, and then asked the housekeeper to quietly take the people outside the door into the secret room of the outer study.

A group of people dressed in black and hooded with hoods and faces covered followed the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion into the outer study, and the outer study was cleared early, and there were no outsiders.

One of them followed the butler into the inner chamber, and the rest stood in various parts of the courtyard to guard them.

When the man arrived at the secret room, he took off his hood, and saluted to Shouning Hou on the main throne without smiling, "Qiu Ju has seen Hou Ye. ”

Zhang Heling also smirked, "Father-in-law Qiu is a rare guest, please take a seat." ”

Qiu Ju was not polite, he went down to the housekeeper to serve, sat down under Zhang Heling, picked up the tea cup on the table, and drank half of it.

The housekeeper tiptoed out, and Zhang Heling immediately sank his face and said, "Qiu Ju, what do you mean by that?" ”

Qiu Ju put the teacup away, leaned back, and said coolly: "That's what Master Hou heard." That woman is the Yan daughter of Xiao Shen Zhuangyuan's divorce. ”

Zhang Heling's face darkened a little again, "So what, what does it have to do with my Hou Mansion!" ”

Qiu Ju said slowly: "Then why did Master Hou let our family in?" ”

Zhang Heling gritted his teeth for a long time, and Fang asked, "How are you doing?" ”

Qiu Ju didn't seem to hear it, his slender eyes narrowed, he looked at the gorgeous palace lamp in the room, and said to himself: "When copying the Yan family, this woman almost entered the teaching workshop. It was the righteous son of our family who saw that this woman was good-looking and knew how to breed, so he got her out.

"This woman once said to our family that Shen Yuan was corrupt and perverted the law when he was an official in Yangzhou, and he wanted to ask the Yan family to help fill the hole before he came to ask for marriage. I don't want the Shen family to climb up to the old mansion of the pavilion, so I will be ungrateful and regret my marriage, at that time, this woman was forced to hang by rumors, and she was saved by her family.

Later, Songjiang rebelled, Yan Baowen, a son of the Yan family, was guilty of framing the third son of the Shen family, but he himself was not a collaborator, and after the Shen family overturned the case, he deducted the charge of cohabitation on the entire Yan family, causing the Yan family to raid the house and destroy the door.

"First there is the humiliation of repentance, and then there is the hatred of destroying the door." Qiu Ju's eyes swept away, and he squinted at Zhang Heling and said, "Master Hou, you say, can this Yan family girl have good words about Xiao Shen Zhuangyuan?" ”

Zhang Heling said with a cold face: "This is all a bad thing for many years of Chen Sesame and rotten grain." That Shen Yuan has long since stopped being an official, and he violated the clan rules again, and he was closed to the ancestral hall, which can be regarded as an explanation. And a girl who has been divorced, with malicious intentions, slanders others, who will believe it. ”

Qiu Ju suddenly became happy, and laughed so much that Zhang Heling was about to be annoyed, Fang said: "Come to think of it, did the second girl Zhang not write a letter to Hou Ye, this Shen Yuan also stole his mother's maid in filial piety, causing the maid to become pregnant." If the Yan daughter shouts about this, and besides, this maid is pregnant with the seed of the champion prince, Master Hou, do you think the world will believe it? How can an unfilial person be an official? Take a step back and say, even if it is Shen Yuan's species, the reputation of the champion is not good, tsk......"

Zhang Heling really didn't know about this, because Shen Jin had already dealt with the matter before Zhang Yuxian arrived in Songjiang. Zhang Yuxian didn't know either.

Zhang Heling was shocked for a while, not knowing whether what Qiu Ju said was true or false.

"Master Hou may not believe it. However, Hou Ye guessed, how could the Yan family know these secrets in the backyard of the Shen family in Songjiang? Qiu Ju's small eyes lit up, staring at Zhang Heling, and suddenly grinned, "Master Hou thinks it's my Dongchang Guangbu ears and eyes?" Hey, Hou Ye guessed wrong. A champion is only a few officials, and I don't have so many people in the East Factory who have traveled thousands of miles to Songjiang to keep an eye on a small official.

"This woman is ruthless, and our family is far behind. She had already set up someone in the Shen family, and the old lady of the Shen family was sent away by her. Let's guess that she probably wanted to use this white matter to block Shen Jin's marriage, and she didn't know what variables she had for a few years. I didn't think that Shen Yuan actually postponed sending news to Beijing in order to climb the Hou Mansion. She simply pressed for another time, waiting for the Hou Mansion to find a high position for this fast son-in-law, so that he would have to go back to his hometown to worry about it if he didn't sit down for a day. ”

Looking at Zhang Heling's stunned appearance, Qiu Ju's smile became much more sincere, "Master Hou didn't expect it, right?" Hou Ye guessed, what was she going to do? She was thinking that after keeping the old lady's filial piety, she would kill Shen Jin's stepmother and let him continue to worry. His father Shen Yuan has only been mourning his wife for a year, and he can marry again. And then in another two years, kill this stepfamily again, marry and kill again, and Shen Jin's filial piety will continue to be guarded. In the end, it doesn't matter if Shen Yuan doesn't marry, it's a big deal to kill Shen Yuan again. ”

"Three years, three years, three more years, dragged to the court, no one remembers that there was a champion public name Shen Jin, dragged until the second girl Zhang Zhu Huang gave birth to no heirs. Her Yan family died because of Shen Jin, she just wanted Shen Jin's six relatives to lose no heirs, full of ambitions and difficult to be an official, but also to let Shen Jin live, live well, and let him live ......"

Zhang Heling was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while, and only after a while did he mutter: "Crazy." ”

At this time, Qiu Ju Fang Shi Shiran picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly: "The Shen family's back house is dirty, and the Yan family knows everything; Those people in Songjiang, the Yan women were all dispatched. Hou Ye thinks, can this woman stay? ”

Zhang Heling seemed to have just come back to his senses, and looked at Qiu Ju with a complicated face, those Yan women can move, and Qiu Ju can move even more. Qiu Ju also pinched Shen Jin's lifeline. He coughed lightly and asked again, "How are you doing?" ”

Qiu Ju said: "Then it depends on the means of Master Hou." ”

"Ben Hou will try to tell her to shut up." Zhang Heling said, "But the voice she shouted in front of the General Administration Department today, and the long time since she entered the General Administration Department, this is not something that Ben Hou can erase." ”

When Qiu Ju mentioned this, he hated it so much that the roots of his teeth itched, he never expected that this woman would still be alive. Someone must have been staring at his private house for a long time. And the worst thing is that this woman was able to go to the political department.

Shen Rui's little rabbit cub is in the General Administration! He didn't believe that Shen Rui would not fall into the well. He had to move quickly.

Qiu Ju's face was ruthless: "That woman is dead, as long as our family doesn't do it, it can be said that the enemy slandered her." We want to see who else wants to be bad for our family. ”

Over there, Zhang Heling sighed, and he had already calculated in his heart, of course he couldn't let a woman come to harm his baby son-in-law's career again, but he had to wait, he had to wait for the woman to explain all the things about Qiu Ju before he died.

Qiu Ju is also crazy, he can destroy the Du family, he can kill the Shen family, he doesn't want such a person to have another chance to run in front of him, saying that Ding Wei, who is pinching the Shen family's life and his son-in-law, will force him to do this and that.

Qiu Ju must die.

Suddenly, Qiu Ju said again: "There is another matter, Hou Ye may not know." ”

So, Zhang Heling heard a more crazy and bizarre thing.

"Sun Mengsheng is an internal official next to Emperor Jing?! Escape from the palace to accumulate wealth and want to commit rebellion? Zhang Heling reacted much faster this time, and immediately shouted angrily: "Qiu Ju, what do you mean?" ”

I just said that Shen Jin's father's clan is not, and this is looking for his mother's clan! Is this a bent on ruining his precious son-in-law?!

Zhang Heling will not recognize Shen Jinshu's identity, and his son-in-law is the eldest son and the only son-in-law of the Sun family. Sun Mengsheng is Shen Jin's maternal ancestor.

On the contrary, it is Shen Rui, who has already succeeded, and in terms of etiquette, Sun Mengsheng really has nothing to do with him.

Zhang Heling never thought that Qiu Ju would deal with a little Shen Rui.

Qiu Ju didn't understand what Zhang Heling was anxious about at first, but soon he also figured it out, and couldn't help sneering, and said: "Master Hou, the grandfather of the champion is an innocent Xiucai family, and his uncle is also a Jinshi and the first, and now he is also a six-rank official. How could the things behind the Sun family be told to the champion prince? Our family is talking about this, but it's not to block the Hou Ye. ”

Zhang Heling still had a black face, and said viciously: "What Sun Mengsheng is old, it's pure nonsense." ”

Qiu Ju smacked his lips and said, "Master Hou, our family mentioned Sun Mengsheng as Lu Min's matter, not to let the Shen family raid the family and exterminate the clan." Long live will not let the Shen family raid the family and exterminate the clan.

"Master Hou, don't deceive yourself, you should know that with Shen Rui here, the identity of the champion is not right. Now you are also planning for the champion prince, with Shen Rui, don't count on the champion if he wants to enter the general administration now. Long live the two brothers will not be put in the same yamen. ”

"Hou Ye may not know that when Zhou Xian took over the Jingwei Martial Arts School last year, he invited the eldest princess of Chun'an as a middleman, and wanted to reconcile with Shen Rui. As a result, Shen Rui brushed his sleeves away. What is the grievance between Zhou Xian and the Shen family, there is no one who knows better than Hou Ye. Shen Rui refused to let go of Zhou Xian, would he not hold a grudge against Jianchanghou?

"The eldest girl of the Hou Mansion of Jianchang and the second girl of the Hou Ye, the two daughters, but they almost drowned Shen Rui's wife, the Hou Ye thinks that Shen Rui will not hold a grudge against the Hou Mansion?"

Zhang Heling's eyelids jumped unconsciously.

At the beginning, Shen Luo's incident, one was that Zhou Mao did it himself, and the Zhang family could push it clean; Moreover, at that time, the Zhang family was in full swing, and the Shen family was just a household servant, and the Zhang family didn't take it seriously.

Sure enough, Zhou Xian came forward, and the Shen family couldn't bear it, even if the boss of the Shen family became a scholar.

When this Shangshu is gone, the Shen family is not in his eyes, a disgraced Nanjing Guozi is a priest of wine, a sick and crooked little scholar, and a yellow-mouthed child.

Unexpectedly, this yellow-mouthed child has now become a close minister of the emperor.

The emperor used Zhou Xian, but Shen Rui refused to reconcile with Zhou Xian, but he could still win the emperor's trust and still be promoted, and the promotion speed was so fast.

That's the most frightening thing.

The Zhou family is now down, the Xia family is not yet a climate, and the Zhang family is the only one among the relatives, but the emperor has never been close to the Zhang family, and after ascending the throne, he knocked several times. The relationship between the emperor and the queen mother is ......

One trades off the other.

Qiu Ju's words over there were full of demagoguery, "Sun Mengsheng's matter, there is no need for the emperor to believe ten out of ten, and there is no need for the emperor to decree to deal with the Shen family, just let the emperor not believe Shen Rui and send him out of Beijing." ”

It's just that Shen Rui is not by the emperor's side. Zhang Heling subconsciously muttered: "Send him out of Beijing?" ”

Qiu Ju said with a smile: "Isn't the vacated position he has just vacated with Xiao Shen Zhuangyuan?" ”

Zhang Heling didn't take this stubble, and continued to ask: "Send him out of Beijing?" ”

Qiu Ju retracted his smile and said almost seriously: "Isn't he good at disaster relief?" Now that Shandong has been affected by disasters for two consecutive years, he was sent to it, and the emperor will be happy. ”

Zhang Heling frowned and said, "The Shen family is running Liaodong, Shandong, don't you know?" "Wouldn't you make him bigger?!

"The emperor also knows, so the emperor will agree to let him go to Shandong." Qiu Ju put on a face and approached Zhang Heling, his voice revealing twelve points of sincerity, "As long as Master Hou can let him out of Beijing." Our family, we are willing to relieve the worries of the Hou Ye. ”

In an instant, his eyes were full of Limang, "Shandong, not only is there a disaster, but also a bandit." ”

Zhang Heling stretched his brows, but only stared at Qiu Ju and did not speak.

It's easy to kill people, but you have to kill them cleanly and neatly, without leaving traces, so that people, or the emperor, can't find their own heads.

Qiu Ju leaned back in the chair again, picked up the tea cup again, but did not drink the tea, he said: "Our family heard that Dai Dabin wants Ding Neijian, if Hou Ye moves faster, with the friendship between Shen Rui and Dai Dabin, the two will be able to walk together for a while." Liu Jin has hated Dai Dabin for a long time because of his son-in-law, and now there are rumors all over the world, and Liu Jin has ruthlessly cleaned up the Hanlin Academy......"

"When the time comes," he Shi Shiran's hand loosened, and the tea cup fell straight down, hitting the bluestone ground, splitting apart, and the tea splashed. His voice was as sharp as cracked porcelain, "Wouldn't it be logical that he and Dai Dabin died together and pushed it all on Liu Jin." ”

You all come to calculate your Grandpa Qiu, then let's see who dies first!

*

The small hall on the east side of the Qianqing Palace, the Hongde Palace

There was a confession on the case, Brother Shou paced back and forth twice with his hands behind his back, and then walked straight to Shen Rui's side and asked him, "What do you think of Qiu Ju?" ”

The left and right senators of the General Administration Department are responsible for assisting the political envoys and accepting the Quartet chapters. A woman complained that after Qiu Ju was carried in, before Shen Rui could do it, Zuo Senator Wei Ne jumped out to accept the case, and then Liu Da was also generally excited, and ran to ask for a confession with joy.

Shen Rui couldn't help but laugh dumbly, these two are Liu Jin's people, Liu Jin wants to clean up Qiu Ju now, and these people are scrambling to behave.

One of these two came out of the Criminal Department, and the other came out of Dali Temple, both of them are good at trying cases, and they are good at writing files, so they want to have a wonderful confession to hand it over.

It just so happened that Shen Rui's business was saved, so he watched the changes on the sidelines.

Soon a formed confession came out.

Soon, the cabinet and the palace knew about it.

Except for Liu Jin's people, the others in the cabinet belonged to the eunuchs who were not pleasing to the eye, so everyone went to the emperor with a very united heart, and unanimously said that Qiu Ju must not be spared if he has no king's law.

It's just that although the little emperor also seemed very angry, he didn't order Qiu Ju to be arrested on the spot, but only let Jinyiwei temporarily seal the private house outside Qiu Ju, saying that he couldn't just listen to one side, and ordered Xichang to investigate, and said that he would wait for the results of Yangzhou Wang Yue.

And when he returned to the inner palace, Brother Shou recruited Shen Rui in.

Brother Shou carefully asked Shen Rui about the situation when the Yan girl came to complain, and Shen Rui explained it very objectively.

But he didn't want to, Brother Shou would suddenly ask him Qiu Ju.

Shen Rui pondered for a moment, and Fang said seriously: "Qiu Ju can be reused by the emperor to take charge of the East Factory for all these years, and he should be capable and talented. He may not be disloyal to the king. It's just that, judging from this matter, he is too selfish. People are inherently selfish, but if they are too selfish, they will inevitably harm the public and private interests. ”

Brother Shou looked at him for a moment before he nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Because he asked again: "You also saw the woman, and you also saw the confession case, according to you, the Du family's murder case, but Qiu Ju did it?" ”

Stealing a girl from the sect or an exiled prisoner is nothing, even if it is stealing a death row prisoner, as long as it is not the kind that is sentenced to death for rebellion, Brother Shou will not frown.

Now, he is more concerned about the case of the Du family, a salt merchant.

Now, what he wants to dig out most is not the truth, but the money of the Du family.

Lack of money. He is now very short of money. The treasury, the inner treasury, are short of money.

Why does he want to make money so much? Because there are so many places to spend money.

He himself likes pleasure aside, he can spend a few more dollars on pleasure, or spend money on state affairs.

The border pass is like a bottomless pit, he lost Zhang Yong to go to the bottom, Zhang Yong is already very capable, but after going here for a long time, he has not been able to touch the bottom of the hole! At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, the hole was opened wide for silver to be filled. He was angry and cold, but he couldn't help but give.

The famine is getting worse every year, and there are more and more places every year, as if the whole country is suddenly suffering from famine. The money for disaster relief is set aside, but if there is silver, there must be food! There are frequent accidents in various places, and there is a shortage of grain everywhere, and seeing that the price of grain is one day a day, the silver is shrinking as soon as it does not move.

For a while, Brother Shou hated these rats very much.

These damn things, the local people are greedy, the border is greedy, the six departments and nine Qing of the central part of Beijing are greedy, and even the internal officials around him are also greedy.

Too selfish. That's right, it's just too selfish! It's a loss of public and private interests! One by two, they are desperately tearing the benefits from him, the emperor, and putting them in their pockets!

Shen Rui didn't hesitate for a moment this time, and said bluntly: "The emperor also said that you can't listen to one-sided words, and this matter should not be ignored by ministers, but should be determined by the results of Wang Yue's investigation." ”

Brother Shou chuckled twice and paced around the hall again.

He thought, Shen Rui didn't know about Qiu Ju's complaint, if he knew that Qiu Ju had put a big hat on Sun Mengsheng's head, Shen Rui would have been eager to bite Qiu Ju to death, and he wouldn't dare to put his beak at it.

Just now, the queen mother came to him, but suddenly asked about Sun Mengsheng.

Brother Shou sank his face and asked, "How did the queen mother know?" "This matter has been given a gag order, and it seems that there are still people from the Queen Mother in the Qianqing Palace that he has cleaned up repeatedly.

Empress Dowager Zhang did not answer, but asked rhetorically: "What does the emperor want to do?" ”

Brother Shou said angrily: "It's all shadowless things, and the queen mother still has to take it seriously?" ”

"The emperor should be cautious." Empress Dowager Zhang's voice was extremely heavy.

Brother Shou couldn't help but roll his eyes, and then replied very seriously: "Queen Mother, the Shen family is full of loyalty, and Shen Rui's father and ancestors are all good ministers who are valued by the emperor's grandfather and imperial father, and they have been conscientious and loyal all their lives. It was Shen Rui who had just joined the company, and he had also made suggestions and suggestions for national affairs many times, and had made many miraculous achievements. This time Su Song relieved the disaster, and the Shen family did their best......

He said meaningfully: "Queen Mother, such words must not be passed on, the Shen family's loyal and good generations will be subject to royal suspicion, who else dares to serve the royal loyalty?" The queen mother thinks twice, don't let the loyal ministers chill. ”

Empress Dowager Zhang lowered her eyes and was silent, and after listening to him, she said: "The mourning family is also afraid of what happens." The Shen family has made inherent contributions, but this Shen family is not only friendly with the Sun family, who is suspected to be Emperor Jing's eunuch Lu Min, but also hires Xu Youzhen's daughter as a wife, so ...... heart"

Brother Shou became a little impatient, and his tone was a little stern: "Where did the queen mother listen to the gossip?" The Shen family and the Xu family were engaged as early as the Jingtai period, and they were not married when Xu Youzhen gained power in the Tianshun year, but Xu Youzhen lost power, and the Shen family did not abandon the marriage, and still married the Xu daughter. I heard that Shen Cang also respects the daughter of the Xu family, which shows the character of the Shen family. ”

He paused, softened his tone, and said: "Don't say that Sun Mengsheng is not Lu Min, even if Emperor Jing's family has no heirs, he has already made an ancient mistake, what else can he do?" If he is really Lu Min, he is an internal servant, and he escaped from the palace in a hurry, how much valuable things can he bring? In a few decades, he was able to save millions of family properties, and how clever his methods of breeding goods were!

"Shen Ruisheng's mother Sun is also good at farming, his house was almost unsurmountable, and the Sun family is already the richest in the clan, and he still has spare money to repair bridges and pave roads to help the township. If Shen Rui can get the true inheritance of his grandfather and mother, I should use it more heavily for him—how much wealth will he bring to me! ”

Empress Dowager Zhang was choked and speechless for a long time, she stabilized her mind and threw out a killer idea: "Your Majesty, don't forget, the result of the murder of the queen's heir has not yet been investigated, how can the palace not be cautious?" ”

Seeing that the little emperor's face changed greatly, Empress Dowager Zhang said slowly: "The mourning family also heard that Chun'an brought a servant woman of the Shen family to see the queen?" It's just nonsense. The identity of the Shen family is doubtful, if this matter spreads outside the palace......"

Brother Shou's heart turned upside down, he originally thought that Xiyuan was his new house, and they were all his people, but he didn't want to still have the eyes and ears of the Queen Mother. The matter of picking up the servants of the Shen family has been done secretly, but it can still fall into the ears of the queen mother. It was he who underestimated the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, who had been in charge of the harem for more than ten years.

Brother Shou didn't wait for her to finish, then interrupted: "Queen Mother, Grandmother Gu didn't let the Shen family or the servant woman know who she was looking for. Moreover, that mother-in-law was originally a mother-in-law in the workshop, and she had seen countless birthing women, which was much more clever than the medical women in the palace who had not seen a few women give birth. ”

Why hasn't the palace medicine woman seen a woman give birth several times? It's not because Emperor Hongzhi's harem is controlled by Empress Dowager Zhang, except for her who has given birth to two sons and a daughter, and there is no heir born next to her!

Empress Dowager Zhang's face was also difficult to look at, but she couldn't bear it, and only said: "The identity of Shen Rui's foreign family is unknown, but he has the emperor's trust, he stays by his side, and everything is granted, but the mourning family is not at ease." ”

Brother Shou didn't know what Empress Dowager Zhang meant this time, and how to target Shen Ruilai. He didn't believe that she was out of concern, and when he mentioned the servant woman, he felt that Bacheng was still coming for Senior Sister Yang.

It's annoying to think about it, it's obvious that the Zhang family bullied Senior Sister Yang, causing Senior Sister Yang to almost lose her life, and they even stabbed Senior Sister Yang as a thorn in the flesh.

Brother Shou said coolly: "That queen mother means ......"

Empress Dowager Zhang straightened her cuffs and said, "I heard that this Shen Rui has been on the disaster relief notebook?" Now there are famines in several places, and talents like him are needed to pacify the places and resettle the displaced people. Su Song is his hometown, so it's not good to send him to avoid suspicion, if not, let him go to Huguang. ”

"The queen mother doesn't know about political affairs," Brother Shou said coldly, "This arrangement is not appropriate." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang sighed, and said in a childlike tone: "Emperor, the queen mother knows that you value friendship the most, this is your playmate since childhood, and it is common sense that you are reluctant to let him travel far away." Then, let's go to Shandong. He is an expert in disaster relief, I heard that the Shen family also has some livelihood in Shandong? In this way, he went to Shandong, wouldn't he get twice the result with half the effort? Your Majesty, you can't always keep your playmate by your side, if he has this ability, he should be loyal to the emperor, and the emperor should also think about your people. ”

This hit Brother Shou's point.

Shandong......

Empress Dowager Zhang said a lot more, but Brother Shou had already fallen into his own thoughts, and his left ear listened to his right ear.

In Xishou Palace, he didn't respond to the Empress Dowager Zhang, and at this time, in the Hongde Hall of Qianqing Palace, in front of Shen Rui, those thoughts swirled in his mind again.

Brother Shou paced twice, no longer asked about Shen Ruiqiu's gathering, but instead asked about Shen Rui's Qingyi Academy, asked about how many places to promote the new planting method during spring ploughing, and asked about the progress of Shandong Susong shipbuilding.

Although Shen Rui didn't know what Brother Shou meant, it was always a good thing not to ask Qiu Ju, and he didn't want to be entangled too much and be asked again - he couldn't afford to spy on Gong Yu.

Shen Rui didn't say that he was almost familiar with these questions asked by Brother Shou, so he talked eloquently and said the truth.

When he was dry, Brother Shou also enjoyed a cup of tea.

Shen Rui thanked the reward, picked it up and was drinking, when he suddenly heard Brother Shou ask: "Shen Rui, I want to send you to Shandong......"

Shen Rui choked on a mouthful of water in his throat, and he didn't care about the loss of etiquette in front of the king, so he hid his face with his sleeve and coughed.

The little waiter who was guarding outside heard such a loud cough inside, and said that it was Banzai coughing, and he came in in a panic and prepared to serve.

When Brother Shou saw it, he called someone in and asked him to pat Shen Rui to smooth the air.

Shen Rui relieved his breath, and when Brother Shou sent the little chamberlain down, he also thought about his rhetoric clearly. Of course, the emperor asked him to go to Shandong to suppress bandits, that is, to go to disaster relief.

Shandong has been affected by the disaster for two consecutive years, and the situation is not optimistic, but it is not completely impossible.

"The ministers obey the emperor's holy decree." Shen Rui said, "I don't know which state capital the emperor wants his ministers to go to......"

He also thought that if he won the name of the king, there would be more room for manoeuvre.

When Brother Shou saw that he agreed happily, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Shen Rui, I know that you are loyal to the Lord." I want you to go, Dengzhou. ”

“…… Dengzhou? Shen Rui was stunned, and his first reaction was that Dengzhou had not reported the disaster.

"Yes, Dengzhou." Brother Shou's smile gradually expanded, his eyes were cool, and his tone became more and more firm, "I want you to go to Dengzhou, to promote your new farming methods, to build a good sea ship, and to operate those sea canal transportation ...... you said."

Shen Rui's mind was chaotic for a moment, but with Brother Shou's description, it gradually became clear.

"The emperor is an important minister......" It seemed that a huge prospect map was slowly unfolding in front of him, and Shen Rui actually felt a little excited in his heart.

"Shen Rui, Zhang Yong and Zhao Hongpei failed to open up the situation in the north, so I want you to go to the east, and I want you to renovate a prosperous Dengzhou Mansion like Su Song for me, you can do it?"
