The rain was pouring down, and there were few pedestrians on the streets.

A horse-drawn carriage marked "Eight Immortals Sailing to the Sea" sped through the street, its wheels splashing with splashes.

Since the opening of the West Garden, the business of the carriage and horse dealership has boomed all of a sudden, and the Eight Immortals Carriage is one of the largest, and the streets and alleys of the capital are almost everywhere to see the carriage of the "Eight Immortals Sailing the Sea".

The car in front of me is also an ordinary green curtain carriage, inconspicuous, but if there is a knowledgeable person at this time to take a closer look, you will find that the car is actually a good Liaodong horse, and the coachman in such a rainstorm, sitting on the wheel of the car did not move, the car is also extremely stable, obviously not an ordinary person.

The car turned into Renshoufang, parked at the side door of the Shen Mansion, the coachman in the clothes and hats went to knock on the door, the porter should be in time, and the face under the hat was also very polite, but the mouth said apologetically: "Our second master accompanied the second grandmother to the old mansion, I went early in the morning, it didn't rain when I left, look at this day, I really don't know how long I can come back." ”

The coachman couldn't do anything, so he turned around and rushed back to the car through the curtain, and there was a little silence in it for a moment, as if hesitating, and finally sighed and said: "Our identity is not suitable to go to the old mansion." Ask Changshou if he went with Shen Erye, if not, let's go back to find him. ”

Soon the carriage turned into the back street of the Shen Mansion, where the servants of the Shen Mansion lived in the family.

The coachman found the longevity door familiarly, and for a while, Changshou wore a cloak and held an umbrella with clogs, followed the coachman to the carriage, picked up the curtain and scolded with a smile while getting into the car: "The big gang leader's frame is getting bigger and bigger, what's the matter, isn't the house refusing to get off." ”

But soon, he couldn't laugh anymore, but he saw Du Laoba's feet, and there was a person who was tied up and gagged by five flowers.

Seeing that Changshou was stunned on the spot, Du Laoba smiled bitterly: "Where do you dare to put up a fight here with Brother Changshou, it's really that I can't get out of the car." He tugged at the man's hair, forced him to raise his head, and said to Changshou, "Look at this guy, is it familiar?" ”

The rain outside was rapid, the sky was dark, Changshou squinted, and he couldn't see clearly for a while, "Eighth Master, don't sell Guanzi." Even if you bring someone to find our second master in this kind of day, and the second master is not there, it is obviously a matter of urgency. ”

Du Laoba said: "Brother Changshou will not forget, the first time you came to my store, you asked for wine, meat, vegetables and vegetables to go to the village outside the city to live, and met a wave of Shanxi disaster victims on the way." This man was the leading one in Napoli at that time. ”

Changshou's face immediately became solemn, and he glanced at the man again, and saw that he was in his forties, with a dark complexion, and the face of the most ordinary crop man, without the slightest feature, and it was difficult to find it if he was thrown in the pile.

After too long, that person was the first to confess everything, insignificant little people, longevity has long been remembered, but then he knows the whereabouts of the wave of people - first recuperated in the Shen family Zhuangzi for a while, then went to Xiyuan to work for relief, and later the emperor decreed to investigate and deal with the case of Nanhai Junjun and Yibin, and sent back the displaced people who were affected by this case.

This man shouldn't have been here anyway.

Du Laoba seemed to see his thoughts, and he didn't go around in circles, and said: "This person is my subordinate who turned it over from the Zhuangzi that Zhao Wencai took the name of my owner. Zhuangshang, there are a few good hands, with a southern accent, and their mouths are tight, not easy to pry open. I am not very familiar with the green forest in the south, and the Tian Feng brothers went to Shanxi again, I came here to hand over this person to the second master, and then I also wanted to ask Shunzi to go back with me to recognize someone. ”

This Shunzi's name is Tian Shun, Tian Feng's junior brother, and like Tian Feng, he was an orphan picked up by Tian Peng at the beginning, and he took the surname Tian.

Tian Shun was originally eating in the green forests in southern Fujian and eastern Fujian, and after Shi Tiantai destroyed Tian Peng's door and spread the word about the rivers and lakes, his life was not very easy.

After Tian Feng settles down, he wants to recruit a wide range of people, and naturally he will not fail to send letters to a few senior brothers who are setting up their own doors outside. Tian Shun is the closest relationship with Tian Feng among the brothers, and he is also the first to drag his family to take refuge.

After Tian Feng followed Zhao Hongpei to Shanxi, Tian Shun took over Tian Feng's business in Beijing.

Tian Shun and Tian Feng's livelihoods are almost the same, and the work of "Snake Xinzi" is not less, and they are quite familiar, so Du Laoba has this saying that he is looking for him to recognize people.

Changshou nodded and said, "Tian Shun is in the house, so let him go with you." The second master went to the old mansion and couldn't come back for a while. Is the eighth master leaving people here with me, or is it ......?"

"Leave someone here for you first, and when the second master comes back, please send a message to the Eight Immortals car dealer at the corner of the street, and I'll come back later." Du Laoba said immediately.

The two discussed properly, Changshou followed the car to the side door again, called the door, and the carriage went straight into the house, drove to the outside of the outer study, and then carried a bulging sack from the car and sent it into the study.

*

The rain did not stop until the beginning of Youchu, and Shen Rui and his wife had already eaten lunch and dinner at Yang's house before returning home.

Not long after the two of them entered the door, Changshou hurried over and said a few words to Shen Rui.

Shen Rui frowned and asked him to go to the study first, while he and his wife went to Xu's side to ask for peace as usual.

The Xu's courtyard is always very lively in the evening, and the children have to follow the husband to study, and they will come to the main courtyard with their mother to greet the Xu family after school. The Xu family usually left them to eat, and they chased and frolicked under the porch, and had a lot of fun.

Shen Rui asked An to confess and went to the study first, Yang Tian was pulled by Xu's side to sit down, and whispered Yang Tinghe and Yu's greetings to Xu, and said Yang Tinghe and Yang Shen's views on the incident of occupying people's land and defrauding the land tax storm on Shen Rui.

"My father said that this matter has nothing to do with our family, the matter was personally experienced by the emperor, and Hengyun Shangzazi is also approved by the emperor, even if someone deliberately leads Hengyun, it is useless." Yang Tian said, "Mother, please rest assured. ”

Xu Shi held Yang Tian's hand, patted the back of her hand when he heard the words, smiled gently, and said, "Annoying in-laws follow the suspense", as if he was not worried. Then he talked to He, Zhang Qingbai and others about today's rain, and talked about Xie's letter after returning to Shandong.

"It's been raining a lot in the summer, and I'm afraid that Beizhili is not going to be waterlogged...... There is still a drought ...... in the eastern part of the mountain"

"It's just near Jinan Mansion, and it's okay elsewhere."

"The imperial court exempted Shandong summer tax and autumn tax last year, and it will be exempted this year, and Jiangsu is ripe, and disaster relief is cheaper."

Although Yang Tian often listens to her father and brother talk about some political affairs, and has also experienced two frame-ups in and out of the palace, she is still young in the end, and as a new bride, her husband's family is involved in things, which inevitably makes her a little anxious.

However, the relaxed atmosphere of the Shen family, the Xu family's calmness, listening to everyone's gossip in their ears, can make her settle down more than the Yang family's stepmother and sister-in-law.

The Xu family is like the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Shen Mansion, no matter how big the wind and waves are, with her, the Shen Mansion will not be chaotic. Yang Tian couldn't help but become more and more convinced, and secretly thought about learning this kind of bearing.

Over there, Shen Rui, who was in trouble, was not in a hurry.

At the beginning, the homeless people were met by Brother Shou and him, and Brother Shou knew the specific situation best, and then although he wrote a note to appease, only Brother Shou knew.

On the matter of resettlement of displaced people, on the surface, the British government and other nobles came out to write books, lent Zhuangzi in the suburbs, and many noble relatives and young people who were on errands beside the little emperor led by Zhang Hui to handle specific affairs.

At that time, everyone in the court and China knew that it was the little emperor's instructions, and the cabinet quickly passed this resolution. Later, the facts also proved that this method was very effective, and almost none of the displaced people died of hunger and cold, and a large part of the manpower problem was solved for the Xiyuan project.

Now that he has come to turn over the old accounts, he can't turn over the reasoning on his head Shen Rui.

In particular, there are not many people who know about the existence of Nazizi, and nine times out of ten, they come from the inner court.

As Yang Tinghe analyzed with him before, "The people who look at Liu Jin on their faces may not be." When all kinds of clues are clearly pointing to Liu Jin, it is intriguing.

"At this time, if you say that it was mishandled at the beginning, causing the displaced people in the suburbs of Beijing to gather and threaten Gyeonggi, it is also a matter for the cabinet, and it will not be counted as a little Hanlin who has just entered the court anyway." Today, Yang Tinghe analyzed with Shen Rui like this, "Since you said that the matter of Zazi came from the inner court, then it was for you, the holy family. ”

Yes, this matter is placed in the court, and it makes no sense to drag Shen Rui to it.

At that time, although Shen Jiazhuang participated in the resettlement of displaced people, he was inconspicuous among the nobles, Shen Rui was just a small talent at that time, and Yang Tinghe and Wang Hua were not in high positions at that time, and now even if they climb Shen Rui, they can't hurt these two people.

And if it is a means of the inner court, the purpose is very clear, that is, to plant a seed of doubt in the little emperor's heart, so that he will be suspicious of Shen Rui and alienate Shen Rui.

"Accumulate and destroy the bones." Yang Tinghe said.

Shen Rui also nodded silently, of course one or two things will not shake the little emperor's trust in him, but if there are too many things, or if one of them causes a qualitative change to cause a quantitative change, it is difficult to say.

In the inner court, with Liu Jin's current power, there is really no need to deal with him Shen Rui as a "little person".

Although Wang Hua and Yang Tinghe rejected Liu Jin's solicitation, they also did not violate the river water, and unlike Li Dongyang, they did not strongly criticize Liu Jin.

Zhang Yong is still standing in the same boat as Liu Jin now.

It can be said that Liu Jin has no suspicion with Shen Rui, and there is no reason to harm him.

And the one who has suspicions, reasons, and energy to make a move...... Only Qiu Ju remained.

Qiu Ju had just kicked Zhang Yong to Shanxi, but he was afraid that it was the time to be proud, and it was not surprising that he made a brazen move.

Because of the recent fact that the Marquis of Huichang did not fight for the avant-garde of the government army, it is reasonable for Qiu Ju to frame Zhang Hui, frame Shen Rui, and even stumble Liu Jin to make enemies.

Yang Tinghe naturally agreed with Shen Rui's judgment, but also warned Shen Rui: "Dongchang is not trivial, Qiu Ju is also quite sacred, if you want to move him, you should be extra cautious." Don't act rashly, if you have any plans, you must be checked by me and your master and you. ”

"Father-in-law, don't worry," Shen Rui tugged at the corners of his mouth, his eyes were full of coldness, "He has also stumbled Liu Jin, and there is nothing to do with his son-in-law here." has his own father-in-law Liu to take care of him. ”

Yang Tinghe was silent for a moment, sighed and shook his head, and said, "Liu Jin is treacherous, and it is not easy for you to borrow his knife." Although he is domineering, if he can move the mounds, he will already move. ”

Although Shen Rui nodded and admitted, he also calculated in his heart that as long as the time was ripe, Liu Jin would not allow Qiu Ju to jump up and down like this.

When Du Laoba hurried to visit, Shen Rui also ordered the first thing: "This time I hurt Second Brother Zhang and me, I'm afraid that it will not be able to get out of Qiu Ju, you stare at Qiu Ju and stare at the Dongchang side more carefully, and report any clues." ”

Du Laoba gritted his teeth and said: "Sure enough, it's this eggless castration!" The second master can rest assured, he has to pry one out even if the egg is not sewn! ”

He paused, and said viciously: "Second master, look, do you want to let those few people with southern accents hang on Qiu Ju's side?" ”

Conspiracy? Shen Rui smiled dumbly, shook his head and said, "Qiu Ju is the overseer of the East Factory!" With the emperor's henchmen in charge, if he rebels, I am afraid that there will be no credible people in the world, and what good is his rebellion? This is clearly a false accusation, but it allows him to take the opportunity to clear all other sins with false accusations. ”

Those from the south also responded to Shen Rui's speculation, "Those from the south must be kept alive, but you don't have to take out anything, there are some words, we shouldn't ask." ”

Du Laoba is also an old man, and after a while, he quickly understood, and nodded yes.

Those few people were quietly sent to Liu Zhongxiao's father-in-law's private house. As for the leader among the homeless people," Shen Rui looked at Du Lao Badao, "Since you sent it to me, you must have asked what happened." ”

Du Laoba said a little angrily: "Zhang Qinchen is insidious, let Zhao Wencai's dog thing take the name of my boss to recruit that old black group." They all received the favor of my host, so they thought they were doing things for my host, but they were bullied by Zhao Wencai, and they were so tired that they were dying every day, and they never doubted it. ”

"After such an interrogation, I naturally insisted that it was Second Brother Zhang." Shen Rui sneered, "But if that old black can circle a group of people to flee from Shanxi to the capital, how can he be slaughtered?" How can people believe that they endure being bullied because they have received some favors? ”

Du Laoba laughed and said: "Zhao Wencai's Zhuangzi are still very secretive, only recruiting them as a group of homeless people to farm, there are no local tenant farmers, and they are strictly managed, as if they are afraid that they will escape." This group of people, there are still stutterers here, and when they go back, their lives are gone, so they have to endure it. ”

He paused, and said: "A certain and his brothers are a little rough, and they don't dare to hurt people's lives, so they don't ask the second master to be untrue, and they are sent here to the second master, one is to ask the second master to testify, and to return my owner's innocence, and then come again, I asked them to farm quite a set, saying that they heard Zhao Wencai drunk and said that he leaked his mouth, saying that they made a new method from the imperial prince Zhuangzi." A certain person is shallow, but I heard that the second master once had a set of farming methods for Emperor Xia......"

If it's just the cultivation of the experimental field, it's not a big deal. But to get this from Emperor Xia's side, it seems that the fence of the Xia family is not so solid.

Shen Rui nodded and said, "I'll ask him later." Second Brother Zhang, I am duty-bound. I have already delivered the news to the palace, asking to see the emperor, just waiting for the emperor's reply. Second Brother Zhang has been working by the emperor's side, no matter the credit and hard work, there are so many years, the emperor will not believe Second Brother Zhang. ”

"However, you can also help me bring a message to Second Brother Zhang, since some people say that it is his Zhuangzi, and the title deed is all complete, but the accounts, confiscation is confiscation, this must be made clear. But there is no need to deny that Zhuangzi belongs, since it is said that it is in his name, since it is said that it is to occupy the official land and the people's land, he will directly sacrifice it. ”

Seeing Du Laoba's embarrassed expression, Shen Rui took a step closer and looked directly at Du Laoba, as if he was looking directly at Zhang Hui or even Zhang Lun behind him, "Let the grandson come out and take the lead, please check the acres of land under your own name, if there is any encroachment, it will be refunded twice." How dare he stand up? ”

Du Laoba was really shocked at this time, and his eyes were round, "This ...... This...... Didn't it become that...... What kind of arrow target is that? ”

"Targeted." Shen Rui lowered his eyelids, took a deep breath, and said, "You only ask him, this matter involves him and me, and it is the revenge of the surname Qiu." involved many clans and nobles, is it really just to make enemies for Liu Jin? ”

Du Laoba opened his mouth for a long time, but finally didn't make a sound.

He is a snake in the capital, and he works for the Guogong Mansion, which of the powerful families in Beijing can provoke which family has to avoid from afar, he knows best, even if King Rong is not allowed to be seen in the palace and has been dragging on and not letting the domain, even if the eldest princess Yongkang is far less powerful than the eldest princess of Chun'an, but this is not something that ordinary officials can afford to provoke.

There is also Qingyun Marquis Zhou Shou, after the death of the Empress Dowager Zhou, the Zhou family is showing a decline, but the arrogance of the Zhou family has not been restrained.

The clan, relatives, and nobles can involve so many important people, even if the powerful Liu Jin is afraid, he will not dare to act rashly.

Others wanted to frame Liu Jin, but they didn't dare to make such a big battle. If this one is not careful, it will all be shattered.

Who would dare?

Apart from...... Son of Heaven, who would dare?

This is something that cannot be said, and I dare not even think about it.

Especially, it's not what a person like him Du Laoba should think, he still keeps a good head and eats dry food for two more years.

Du Laoba rattled his kiwi-like hairy head, closed his mouth tightly, and saluted Shen Rui, saying that he would definitely bring the words to the owner.

sent Du Laoba away, Shen Rui did not ask Changshou to bring the bundle of old black over, but sat quietly in the study alone, looking at the green bamboo that was still dripping outside the window and was stunned.

The last sentence he asked Du Laoba was, in fact, also asked by Yang Tinghe.

Du Laoba didn't dare to think about it, but he Shen Rui had to think about it.

This incident has engulfed so many people, what is the little emperor going to do?

Last year, the little emperor first cut the redundant official fee, and then suppressed the grace of the shade, not only the temporary official positions and auxiliary official positions in various places were cut, but the official positions of the relatives and children of the nobles in the former dynasty were cut a lot, and the civil and military descendants of the grace and the wife and mother were all restricted, and even the clan was sorted out, and all those who should not inherit the title and received the salary and silver before the age were all cleared.

"After this time, although the treasury has not been filled, it is no longer able to make ends meet." In the study of the Yang Mansion, Yang Tinghe and Shen Rui took stock of the little emperor's governance for more than a year, and sighed, "However, these are still far from enough, this year's disasters and wars in various places and wars on the nine sides have asked for money everywhere, how much can a small Xiyuan fill?" ”

We can't just rely on throttling, but also open source.

First, there is the Qingzhang border town of Tuntian, starting from Liaodong.

Later, there were inspections of granaries and pastures in various places, which was not a manifestation of the competition between the imperial court and the local government for financial power.

After beating the local officials with checks and heavy fines, the next step is ......

"Chage encroached on and hidden." Shen Rui had a complicated expression on his face. How he wished he and his father-in-law had guessed wrong.

But the current situation clearly told them that the little emperor was going to investigate the encroachment on the official land and the land and the concealment of land taxes.

Even the clan, relatives, and nobles have been checked, and who else in the local area dares to bare their teeth. - This is about the idea of the little emperor.

But will those local feudal officials and wealthy tycoons really spit out the fat in their mouths for fear of imperial power?

But when the history books are turned over, which dynasty, generation, and person can really carry out the inventory smoothly and truly curb the land annexation?

Shen Rui has the history books of his previous life in his head, and he knows that land annexation is the inevitable result of feudal economic development, but who can he talk to?

He can tactfully tell Zhang Hui to spit out the land (not to mention that it is not Zhang Hui's land in the first place), and cooperate with Brother Shou's actions to win the emperor's heart and win to retreat in this turmoil.

But what can he tell Brother Shou?

I don't know how long it took, the lights exploded a few times, the study door was gently knocked, and longevity was low outside.

Shen Rui came back to his senses and called him in, and heard Liu Zhong's reply, and the emperor saw him in Xiyuan at night after tomorrow. Shen Rui let out a long sigh of relief, and felt a little dazed in his heart.

Changshou asked in a low voice if he wanted to interrogate the homeless Lao Hei.

Shen Rui waved his hand and said, "Dry him first." Just keep him in the wood-room, don't tie him up, give him water and food, but don't talk to him. I'll go to see my grandfather and uncle tomorrow, and you watch him for a day, and I'll report back to me when I come back." ”

The side hall of Renshou Palace

King Rong sat at the feet of the Empress Dowager, like a child Chenghuan's kneeling posture, and called the queen mother affectionately In fact, he has always been raised in front of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and he has never had half of the intersection with the queen mother.

And at this moment, he did not come to Caiyi to entertain his mother and let his mother enjoy the joy of family, but complained with a handful of snot and tears, saying that his livelihood was difficult.

King Rong was born in the last years of Chenghua, is the youngest of Xianzong's surviving children, because of his young age, he escaped the most arrogant period of Wan Guifei, but he did not live much because of this, he was one and a half years old, Xianzong passed away, and since then he has followed his mother and grew up in the palace of the Empress Dowager Zhou.

In the fourth year of Hongzhi, at the age of six, he was crowned king along with his other brothers.

From the eleventh year of Hongzhi, to the fifteenth year, his brothers, who were slightly older than him, all became vassals one after another, but he, the king of Rong, did not even get married.

In the seventeenth and eighteenth years of Hongzhi, the Empress Dowager of Zhou and the Emperor Hongzhi passed away one after another, and King Rong was completely delayed because of his filial piety.

It wasn't until the first year of Zhengde that the little emperor got married, and he chose a concubine to marry in a low-key manner.

Although in the sixteenth year of Hongzhi, he was pointed out to the place of the feudal domain - Changde Mansion, but the matter of the feudal domain has been delayed until now and has not been completed.

Speaking of the domain, it is really a bitter tear, I decided to seal the country early, but I didn't let the domain, the palace of this domain was also repaired, and it was not repaired, and it was so miserable that it leaked and collapsed in the second year of Zhengde.

How bad does this house have to be to leak and collapse?!

This repair was another year smaller, until February this year, the emperor relented and allowed him to go to the fiefdom, and ordered Qin Tianjian to choose a date, and asked a member of the Ministry of War and Engineering to sort out the affairs of the country.

He didn't have any savings, his life was tight, and he wanted a pasture in Bazhou at the beginning, but he was said to be a place of military equipment, but he was approved by the imperial history, and he was applied by the emperor.

And then it's not extravagant, then Longyang County wants two pieces of land near the river, but a total of 100 or so will be tilted, what is enough!

In the month of May, he played the eldest son and the second son who was not ordained, and who lacked the degree, begged to be given.

The emperor kept reciting the family affection, but he said that the ancestor Xunlu rice had its own custom, how dare he violate it.

really made King Rong angry, this nephew really didn't let him be obedient from the beginning.

Now, before leaving, there is such a fuss.

This grange in Fengrun County, which was given by the filial piety temple back then, and also bought by himself, how could it occupy the official land and the people's land? !

King Rong really cried more and more sadly, and he almost vomited a mouthful or two of blood to show his "queen mother".

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but turn the Buddha beads in her hand, her face was compassionate, but she said: "The mourning family also knows that it is not easy for you, but as a descendant of the Zhu family, you must also know that it is not easy for the imperial court." ”

Hey. King Rong is going to be happy.

How much land did Emperor Xia's family give? More than 2,200 pours! He's just caught up with a fraction of a second! He is also a descendant of the Zhu family! The emperor's own uncle is not as good as the emperor's father-in-law, right?! Right?!

Of course, he couldn't say anything, only howled and continued to talk about his own difficulties.

Otherwise, you can let me go back to the fiefdom as soon as possible.

Look at the previous brothers, which one did not do whatever he wanted in the fiefdom, only he was a man with his tail between his legs in the capital, and the dignified dragon son and phoenix grandson were also idle by the ministers.

He cried endlessly, and it had been an hour, and the Empress Dowager had already shown fatigue, but he was like this, but it was not easy to drive him away.

Fortunately, the queen, the virtuous concubine, and the concubine De called Xiyuan to ask the queen mother for peace.

King Rong originally had the intention of staying in Renshou Palace, and then chatted well when he was full, but now he couldn't stay if he was reluctant, wiped his tears, bowed again and again, and retired.

In the end, the Empress Dowager, like Guanyin Bodhisattva on the lotus platform, added with kindness and compassion: "The world is not the people of the heavenly family, and the descendants of the heavenly family should think more of the people." ”

King Rong's swollen eyelids jumped when he cried, and he forced out a smile to answer yes. Well, with these words pressed at the end, he didn't have to think about crying next time.

Qi Song, the great eunuch of Renshou Palace, sent King Rong out. King Rong made a mistake, handed over a purse, and said with a smile: "The big companion is hard, a little something, the big companion keeps it to reward people." ”

Qi Song didn't refuse, he thanked him generously and accepted it, but he didn't show a word next to him, he didn't know what to ask, and sent King Rong out to Xiaoyuan.

The smile on King Rong's face froze, and it wasn't until Xiao Yuan came out of the sight of Renshou Palace that this face was put down.

This group of eunuchs! He viciously stuffed the old ginger-coated handkerchief into his sleeve pocket, and scolded Renshou Palace 108,000 times in his heart. This person has really been pretending to be a Bodhisattva since the harem of the Xian Temple, and he has been pretending to be a Bodhisattva until now! Let's see if she can pretend to be dead!

scolded Renshou Palace, and secretly scolded the emperor a few words. He thought about the Feng Yuan who stopped at the door when he came out just now, and couldn't help but sneer again-carefully selected to marry early, but it turned out that he couldn't give birth to a son.

That kid, maybe he followed his mother.

Thinking of the old things, King Rong also hated it in his heart.

How did he get to the point where he was so unpopular, and it wasn't because he was raised in the palace at a young age!

When Emperor Hongzhi was there, Empress Zhang had a son for many years, and she was not allowed to accept concubines by the emperor, and the Empress Dowager Zhou was already very dissatisfied, and the grandmother-in-law and daughter-in-law were also incompatible.

Somehow, word came out that the king was mourning for his early death, and the prince was not a long-lived face, and the little royal brother who was raised in the palace of the Empress Dowager was just in case.

At that time, the young royal brothers who were raised by the side of the Empress Dowager Zhou were King Ru, King Jing, King Rong, and King Shen.

King Jing and King Shen are brothers of the same mother, and King Ru is more beneficial to King Yu and King Heng, two brothers who have become vassals.

It is rumored in the palace that King Rong, who died and lived alone, is the best candidate for heir.

In this way, how could Empress Zhang's mother and son not hate King Rong, who was Emperor Hongzhi, and was quite unhappy to see him. Therefore, he refused to choose a concubine with him, pointed to the fief and was detained and was not allowed to be a vassal.

When Empress Zhang's mother and son ascended to the throne of the Ninety-Five, it was worse for him.

When he chose a concubine for the little emperor, he also let out a message to choose a lady for King Rong. King Rong was afraid that he was lying to deceive him, and he specially went to the banquet of the eldest princess of Chun'an, so he thought of using practical actions to confirm this matter.

As a result, it is not empty in the end, what a good lady is, and half of it has no share in him.

After the little emperor got married, the palace sent a concubine envoy, and randomly selected two white-bodied daughters for him, and welcomed him into the door as the main concubine and the side concubine.

King Rong hated, and he was a little proud, even if he got married late, even if he was a random person? He has the ability, and now he is a son and a son! The little emperor has carefully selected women, but now, let alone a son, he can't even give birth to a daughter!

Thinking of the heir, he couldn't wait to laugh three times.

It's a pity that now that Qin Tianjian has set a date, he must go out of the palace and go to the domain, otherwise, he really has the heart to endure it for a few years, and when the little emperor follows the roots of the Empress Dowager Zhang, his son is generally thin, and even, if he breaks his bloodline, then he, the prince in the palace, will not hesitate to send a son to inherit the heir.

Xiao Yuan shuttled between the palace walls, and a group of people came in front of him, and the personal attendants gathered on the side of the chariot to report to King Rong, "It's the eldest princess of Yongkang." ”

King Rong then told the people to give way to the side.

The eldest princess of Yongkang has been in the palace for a while.

Of course, she went to Renshou Palace to ask for peace first, but unexpectedly, King Rong cried inside, and the doors and windows were open in summer, and the cry was so loud that it could be heard outside the hospital. The eldest princess of Yongkang felt that it was inconvenient to go in and disturb her, so she went to the side of the Empress Dowager Zhang of Xishou Palace.

Originally, she just wanted to come to take a look, she had always been close to the Empress Dowager Zhang, and naturally she went to ask the Empress Dowager Zhang if she had something.

Now that I'm going to leave the palace, I have to come to Renshou Palace to pay respects before I can comply with the rules.

Seeing that this sister's eyes were also swollen like a peach, King Rong smacked his lips and smiled, he didn't know how many old ginger-soaked handkerchiefs he used, he was really cruel to himself.

"Ah Han has the time to take Da Lang to his sister." The eldest princess of Yongkang did not call King Rong like usual, but affectionately called his long-sealed milk name, because she had cried, and with some nasal voice, she was particularly sincere, "Da Lang is the most smart and clever, I am so happy." ”

Sending such an invitation in the palace, how many eyes and ears are staring, this is to pull the alliance and show it to others. King Rong sneered in her heart, and it was hard for her to find out his almost forgotten milk name from any corner.

I heard that today, the British prince Zhang Mao and his two sons are guilty of a crime.

The two brothers, Zhang Lun and Zhang Hui, who were grandsons, defended themselves, and said that since someone maliciously recorded Zhuangzi in their names to frame them, they donated this Zhuangzi to the imperial court, or for the official land, or to subsidize the people, and to contribute to the Ming finances.

They even said that they should check the acres of land under their own names, and if there is any encroachment, they will be refunded twice.

Zhao Wen is a person from the British Mansion, and the British Mansion can't run away from the crime, so it is reasonable for such a bachelor to donate land and pretend to ask for an inventory of his own acres.

But why did their clan spit out the meat in their mouths?

King Rong also had a pair of red and swollen eyes, but he smiled very decently: "Sister doesn't think he is stupid and noisy, let Qianniang take him to Sister's house another day." ”

is a group of people who are affectionate and affectionate, but they only say that they will let the princess take the child, and they don't mention themselves at all, nor do they have any hints.

The eldest princess of Yongkang's smile is still like a spring breeze, and she can't stop scolding the fox cub in her heart. This younger brother is really being tempered more and more sleek.

The two of them said a few polite words, and then staggered by.

King Rong understands very well in his heart, he is different from these princesses, aunts, and sisters, and when things are mixed up, his good nephew will definitely make an example of him, and then forgive the princesses to the clan. He wouldn't be stupid enough to go over and get stabbed for his sister.

The palace gate was far away, and he tucked the ginger veil again, as if he was afraid that it would reveal the stuffing when he left the palace gate.

If you can get out of the palace, you will naturally feel at ease, but if you condemn him this time and delay him from going to the fiefdom, it will not be bad......

*

On the afternoon of June 26, the school field of Xiyuan Leopard House Elementary School

When Shen Rui arrived, the little emperor was wearing a strong suit with a bow and arrows, shooting at a target a hundred steps away.

Brother Shou is indeed talented in learning martial arts, and these arrows are quite accurate, although they did not hit the bull's-eye, none of them missed the target.

"Didn't you come here to wear a short call?" The little emperor shot a pot of arrows, turned his head to look at Shen Rui, and saw that he was wearing an official uniform, and couldn't help but be dissatisfied.

Shen Rui said with a smile: "How dare the minister disobey the order, but he doesn't dare to lose his honor in front of the king." The minister came with clothes, and the emperor wanted to test the martial arts of the minister, so the minister went to change his clothes. ”

Brother Shou became happy at this time, waved his hand and said, "Go quickly!" ”

Yesterday, the British government Zhang Mao and his descendants have been on the plea, the little emperor said that Zhang Mao is a minister of the country but can not govern his family, disturb the people's livelihood, the law should be investigated, but remember his ancestors' merits, especially forgive.

Zhang Mao immediately played begging to recuperate, and the emperor allowed it.

And in the evening, Du Laoba sent the news to the Shen Mansion that Zhang Mao had decided to split up.

After rewarding Zhang Ming and Zhang Qin with a family law board, the old man said that he would divide all his sons, and they would not be allowed to walk outside under the guise of a British duke in the future. If there are any more illegal things that disturb the people, the old man will personally tie them up and send them to Beizhen Fusi.

Shen Rui was much more down-to-earth when he boarded, and today he couldn't help but feel a little relieved when he saw the little emperor's attitude.

turned to feel that Yang Tinghe and his own analysis was only afraid that he was wrong, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried about the future direction of the court.

After a while, Shen Rui changed into a short fight, and Qian Ning, who was waiting beside the little emperor, smiled and held a few bows and came over for Shen Rui to choose.

Shen Rui glanced at it, and only chose Zhang Sanshi's bow, but it was nine arrows fired in succession, neatly nailed to the bull's-eye.

Brother Shou immediately applauded loudly.

This is the first time Qian Ning has seen Shen Rui make a move, he thought that he was just a scholar who had learned some six arts, but he didn't expect that archery skills were quite successful.

Seeing the little emperor's eyebrows fluttering, Qian Ning hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "The ministers also contributed, and Emperor Bo smiled." ”

He also chose a three-stone bow and the same nine arrows, but he actually opened the bow with his left and right hands, and the arrows hit the target.

In this way, Shen Rui was stabilized.

Brother Shou also did not hesitate to applaud. Shen Rui didn't care, and politely smiled and high-fived and praised: "It's really good archery." ”

Qian Ning specially paid attention to Shen Rui's performance, and when he saw him like this, he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled politely.

Brother Shou suddenly smiled and said to Shen Rui: "Zhang Hui is guarding filial piety, and Jingwei Wuxue is also empty, Shen Rui, do you think Qian would rather afford this errand?" ”

Qian Ning couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, of course he was hot on this errand, he didn't send silver to Liu Jin's side, and he didn't compete for performance in front of the emperor. I didn't want the emperor to ask Shen Rui's opinion at this time.

He was very annoyed for a while, he shouldn't have been able to hold his breath just now, and he tried to press Shen Rui with one hand.

This group of scholars is the most smiling tiger, polite on the face, and a bad stomach behind his back, if he is a maggot in front of the emperor to spoil his good deeds, how is it good!

Therefore, his gaze could not help but become a little anxious.

Shen Rui didn't look at Qian Ning at all. He was actually very surprised, and he didn't know which one the little emperor was singing.

At the moment, he replied in a decent manner: "Jingwei Wuxue is a matter of great importance, and it should be judged by the emperor, and the ministers dare to put their beaks." While speaking, he secretly looked at Brother Shou's expression.

Liu Zhong had already sent someone to inform Shen Rui that Ning Fan's people had already connected with Qian Ning and sent a lot of money, and Qian Ning had also spoken twice for Ning Fan in front of the emperor, intentionally or unintentionally, and the emperor should know it.

has something to do with Ning Fan, of course Jingwei martial arts can't fall into the hands of Qian Ning! No matter who mentions it, the little emperor can not accept this stubble at all.

Why did the little emperor suddenly mention it himself, and ask him very casually?

Was it to tempt him?

Or do you want to ...... He found a reason to refuse?

Such a face-to-face refusal, let the two favored courtiers marry?

The Emperor's Art of Balance?

"Hey, it's just to ask you what you think, you are also familiar with Zhang Hui, and your bookstore has taken over the errand of printing military books, and you also know a little about Jingwei martial arts." Brother Shou seemed to be a little careless, and his eyes fell on Qian Ning again.

Qian Ning had already put on a face of surprise and joy, his eyes touched the emperor, and he lowered his head as if he was panicking, not daring to look again.

Brother Shou looked at Shen Rui again.

Seeing Brother Shou's dark gaze, Shen Rui smiled again: "Since it was the emperor who inquired, the minister said it bluntly." The emperor forgives the sin. The minister thought that Master Qian's kung fu, especially the skill of opening the bow left and right, was more than enough to teach Jingwei martial arts students.

"It's just that to manage the martial arts of Jingwei, you need to know the way of training, the arrangement of troops, the ordnance and weapons, and the gunpowder gun...... The minister's knowledge is shallow, and all he can think of is this, because he is slightly familiar with Zhang Hui, and knows the origin of his family and what he has learned. The minister was not very familiar with Lord Qian, and he didn't dare to pack tickets for Lord Qian. ”

Qian Ning heard Shen Rui praise his martial arts at first, and he was a little proud, and when he contacted Shen Rui's attitude before, he thought that he was afraid of his face in front of the emperor now, so he stammered himself and did something like him.

I didn't know that when I heard the ones behind, I couldn't help but change my face.

Zhang Hui is a family scholar, what is he Qian Ning? He is the adopted son of a eunuch, and he has martial arts, where did he learn the art of war and armament? !

He didn't care whether what Shen Rui said was reasonable or not, and when he looked at him again, it was as if he was poisoned.

Brother Shou was still smiling, still with that casual attitude, and only said: "Well, there is some truth in it, okay, I will consider it." ”

Although everyone still has a smile on their faces, the atmosphere is different.

Brother Shou no longer shouted archery, but asked someone to change the target, and said to Shen Rui with a smile: "I'll show you a fresh one." ”

While talking, a row of big men came up, all holding Mongolian dogs in their hands.

This slender dog is tall, smooth, and has strong limbs, and its hunting speed is extremely fast, almost instantaneous, and it bites the neck of its prey, killing it with one blow, and it is extremely fierce.

Legend has it that the Khitan nobles of the Liao Dynasty asked for this dog to be in the "frontier of the Meng Guzi" (that is, the Khitan affiliated Mongolian tribe), just like Suohai Dongqing in the Jurchen tribe, he spared no manpower and material resources to train and train, which shows its preciousness.

The target was also replaced with a high pole, on which the iron hook was suspended by a rope, and the bloody fresh meat was hung.

As soon as the thin dog entered the field and smelled blood, he was a little restless, but he could still see that he was well-trained, standing next to the strong man, and did not dare to move.

Brother Shou glanced at the little waiter beside him, and the little waiter hurriedly stepped forward, took out a bamboo whistle, and blew it twice.

The strong man led the dog forward, Qi Qi loosened the rope in his hand, whistled twice, and those thin dogs jumped out in an instant like arrows from the string, and when they reached the high pole, they suddenly jumped up with the help of the power of running, as if they were holding the fresh meat directly, but they did not swallow it, but brought the fresh meat back to the feet of the strong man like a prey.

Shen Rui couldn't help but praise: "Sure enough, he is well-trained." If you go out hunting and take them with you, it will save a lot of effort. ”

Brother Shou said with a smile: "I got this dog a while ago, and after reading the Khitan history books, I learned that there is still a matter of 'carving a hunting dog', saying that the eagle gives birth to three eggs, one is a new eagle, one is a hunting dog, and one is a snake." ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "I think it's made up." However, the Khitan people often raise eagles and dogs together, when hunting, let the eagle go out, the dog goes with the eagle, and the harvest is quite rich, let's try it another day. ”

Shen Rui also smiled and applauded.

Hearing this, Brother Shou said again: "However, this thin dog is just a dog after all, it can't compare to a leopard, you look at this again." As he spoke, he motioned to the little chamberlain to blow the whistle.

As soon as the whistle changed, the iron hook on the high pole over there went up again, and this time the hound was let out, but it was rare to be able to get fresh meat, even if it could be touched, it could not be taken off.

Then two strong men in leather armor brought two leopards.

But it is not uncommon to see one money marking, and the other is completely black, which is very rare. Both leopards have shiny fur and fierce eyes, and they are domineering when they walk.

This was presented by Zhang Yanling, Marquis of Jianchang, on the Wanshou Holy Day when the little emperor first ascended the throne.

As soon as the leopard appeared, the momentum of the thin dogs changed, and the leisurely attitude disappeared, and they all bowed down slightly, whining in their mouths, and making an attack posture.

Shen Rui was also a little nervous, and immediately stood in front of Brother Shou, and said a little sternly: "The emperor let the cheetah out without protection." In the end, it is a beast, no matter how it is domesticated, it is still wild, and it is good to hurt the Holy Communion! ”

Brother Shou laughed, stabbed Shen Rui, and said, "Aiqing, don't worry!" ”

Qian Ning took advantage of the situation and said with some yin and yang weirdness beside him: "Shen Chuanyu is too worried, these beast tamers are all accurate." We are also equally loyal, how dare we let the emperor get into danger. ”

Shen Rui didn't look at him, but said to Brother Shou with a straight face: "In the past, the ministers also saw the emperor admiring leopards, but most of them were in the iron cage. Jinchen knows that the emperor likes the cheetah to be brave and fierce, and wants to see it unrestrained, but in the end, it is a murderous thing, so he has to guard against it. The minister asked the emperor to build a large iron cage house, set up a high pole in it, and then put the leopard in. Or build a high platform, and the emperor can watch it on the stage, which can not only see clearly but also ensure safety. However, if the leopard escapes, for fear of hurting the palace people again, it is safer to set up an iron cage. ”

Brother Shou looked at Shen Rui with a smile, nodded and said: "Qing is really careful, all kinds of rules are very proper, today is like this, let them change it according to what Qing said in the future." Come on, come on, don't be like this, spoil the interest of watching the scenery. ”

Shen Rui was very helpless, so he had to sit down, but his eyes did not leave the two leopards for a moment, for fear that they would burst out and hurt people.

But when he saw the strong man who was leading the dog over there, he whistled in his mouth and held the thin dog firmly in his hand. The strong man in leather armor drew his whip and threw a whip in the air, which snapped, and the leopard seemed to get a signal and made a hunting gesture.

The whip sounded again, and the leopard was as fast as lightning, and the two ups and downs had reached the pole, and with a leap, the fresh meat that the hound had not been able to latch on to had reached the leopard's mouth.

Brother Shou immediately stood up and applauded, and Qian Ning also praised loudly on the side.

It's just that the leopard doesn't return the meat like a hound, but just eats it up.

The strong man in leather armor hurriedly rushed over and flicked the whip again, but he didn't dare to snatch the meat stiffly, and hurriedly held the leopard in his hand.

Shen Rui saw that the leopards were firmly caught, so he exhaled and whispered to Brother Shou: "Your Majesty, you see, leopards are still wild creatures in the end, and they are wild and untamable. The minister asked the emperor to take care of the dragon's body. ”

Brother Shou glanced at Shen Rui and pouted, "Okay, I know, you are almost like the bosses." If you're so boring, I won't take you on the next hunt. ”

Shen Rui listened to this child's words, and couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

Brother Shou danced again, and said with his hands dancing: "Look, it's still a leopard, and the meat can be picked up if it hangs so high." Don't say that the thin dog can't do it, I tried it, and the wolf can't do it either! ”

Shen Rui had no choice but to praise it again, and watched the leopard's tricks again.

There was a lively game here, and suddenly a small chamberlain rushed in with a roll, and when he was stopped by the guards, he shouted "Long live" in a hurry.

Although Brother Shou was interrupted from playing, he was not angry, and waved his hand to let people in.

Shen Rui looked twice, and saw that he didn't know the servant, Liu Zhong was not here today, and he didn't know where to go on an errand, so he didn't know if this was Liu Zhong's person.

Qian Ning has been messing around in Xiyuan for these days, and he is quite familiar with people, knowing that this is Chen Kuan's godson, so he quietly took a step forward and said in Brother Shou's ear.

Shen Ruiyin was close, and he also listened to a little sound, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but get nervous, could it be, it was the incident he thought about happened, right?

The little chamberlain was covered in dust, covered with sweat, it can be seen that he came on a fast horse, he knelt down and kowtowed without breathing, and said with a crying voice: "Long live Lord, someone left a book on the royal road in the afternoon today, and the servant Yushi sent it to the celebrant supervisor, and Liu Jin and Liu Gonggong were furious for a while, saying that this anonymous fold was full of rebellious words, and he said that he was instructed by the Lord of Long Live to let the hundred officials kneel under the gate of heaven, and Liu Gonggong was reprimanded by the left of the public gate." At this time, the weather was very hot, and some adults almost wanted to faint, Li Rong and Li Gonggong sent out the ice melon, and also let Liu Gonggong scold back...... Chen Kuan and Chen Gongcheng rushed to Xiyuan, and asked the slaves and maids to report the news first......"

Shen Rui's heart was beating hard - it was really today. This is the famous anonymous submission of the book by Yudao in the history of the previous life, he only vaguely remembers that it is June, but the specific date is unknown.

In the history books of the previous life, it was said that the anonymous book listed many of Liu Jin's crimes, which made Liu Jin angry, and even ordered hundreds of officials to kneel in Fengtianmen, and asked the person who wanted to find out the person who submitted the letter. The next day, Li Dongyang rescued, Emperor Zhengde allowed the release of people, Liu Jin also heard that the anonymous book was done by internal officials, and let go, but three civil officials had died of thirst due to exposure to the sun.

In the history books, this is one of the typical incidents of Liu Jin abusing power and deterring hundreds of officials.

Shen Rui had thought many times about how he would respond to the sound if he knelt at the bottom of the steps, but he didn't expect that when this day came, he would be in Xiyuan, in front of the little emperor.

He immediately knelt on the ground and said to Brother Shou sincerely: "The emperor Mingjian, since he submitted the book anonymously, it is obvious that he is a trick and wants to hide in the crowd, and there may not be results in asking hundreds of officials at this time. It is both anonymous and such a means, which shows that the person who submitted the book has an improper intention, and his words may not be true, so he ignores it. The emperor is benevolent, it is hot today, if the elders have heat stroke, wouldn't it be because of one or two tricks and villains that the court has lost its pillars! Please ask the emperor to forgive the ministers one or two, and then order a detailed visit and severely punish the villain! ”

While speaking, Chen Kuan also arrived.

He was very old, and he rode all the way over, as if he were scattered, and his legs were weak at this time, and he was carried by two sturdy chamberlains.

Chen Kuan knelt in front of the little emperor, and said with tears: "Your Majesty, when the slave and maid came, the old man couldn't stand it. Huang Wei instructed everyone beside him, 'If everything the book says is for the country and the people, stand up and admit it, although you are a good man when you die, you can't afford to burden others in vain. But no one came out to recognize him. Liu Jin is so angry, the old gentlemen of the Ren cabinet don't listen to anything, I'm afraid that they are really going to die! Hooray!! ”

Qian Ning glanced at the three people kneeling on the ground, made a note in his heart, and thought that he could get Gonggong Liu to talk about it when he turned around, especially this Shen Rui, it was just a good thing to hurt him, and he dared to harm Gonggong Liu's big thing! This makes him look good!

Qian Ning quietly looked at the little emperor's face again, and secretly wondered if he wanted to add a few more words to Gonggong Liu.

The emperor has always been by his side in Xiyuan, but Gonggong Liu didn't ask for a decree......

Hey, then this false proclamation is also a great crime of killing the head, just look at it...... Gonggong Liu's holy family is not deep, and the emperor is willing to give him this field.

So Qian Ning finally decided to speak slowly, and look at the emperor's attitude.

The little emperor didn't give Qian Ning this chance, but sent him away and did a lot of idle people, including the kneeling little chamberlain. In the huge school field, only he, Shen Rui, and Chen Kuan were left.

Qian Ning couldn't help but be a little jealous, but in the end he still retreated obediently, and only brewed a complaint to Liu Jin in his heart.

The little emperor was not in a hurry, sat down in the chair, and asked Chen Kuan slowly: "What is written on the fold?" ”

Chen Kuan, who was also a member of the celebrant eunuch, kowtowed, and replied: "The emperor forgives the sin, and the slave and maid have not seen the twist...... The excerpt was directly handed over to Liu Jin, he looked at it twice and said that it was all rebellious and rebellious, and the person who submitted the book should cut it with a thousand knives and destroy the nine clans, and he didn't look at it with anyone else, and said that he would send someone to ask the ...... of the Lord Long Live

He paused, his head lowered more and more, and his voice lowered, "But Liu Jin seems to ...... No one was sent. Then he said that when such a thing happened, the emperor must have asked the people to be pulled out, how could he leave the traitor in the court, so he went out to spread the ...... The decree was delivered. ”

Liu Jin is pretentious, and it is a certainty.

But the little emperor didn't seem to be angry, and didn't even take the stubble at all, but asked: "Li Rong went to send the ice melon?" Huang Wei went to help? Still no one confesses? Look, is there anyone suspicious? ”

Chen Kuan choked, but he didn't expect the little emperor to let Liu Jin go lightly, and he had a lot of thoughts in his head for a while.

He was a well-known good man, and he didn't take sides and didn't offend anyone. Whether it is Xiao Jing, Wang Yue or Liu Jin, he is buried in his own business.

If it weren't for the special situation today, if it weren't for Li Dongyang's hint, he wouldn't have jumped out rashly.

He said cautiously: "Li Ge said that 'the anonymous text comes from one person, and his conspiracy and tricks are trying to hide his whereabouts in the crowd, and he will deceive him. The officials hurriedly bowed up, how could they know. And so said the rest of the elders, slaves and maids...... The slave and maid thought so. Liu Jin didn't listen, and said that if there was no result, everyone would be detained and sent to Beizhen Fusi Prison. ”

The little emperor snorted, and then said, "You go down and rest first, and I will call you later." ”

Chen Kuan subconsciously glanced at Shen Rui, and thanked him in the end, he barely stood up, almost shaking, but unfortunately there were no attendants on the left and right who could help him, so he had to hold on and walk far step by step.

Shen Rui was suspicious, and he didn't know what the little emperor was going to do if he left him.

Hearing Brother Shou say, "Get up." What you just said is very similar to what Li Ge Lao said. ”

Shen Rui thanked him, got up and sighed: "The emperor is just angry, we are bystanders, and we can probably come to such a conclusion." As wise as you are, what you want to see is also slightly the same. ”

Brother Shou chuckled lightly and nodded, "It makes sense." ”

But he suddenly asked Shen Rui: "Songjiang Shen family, how many fertile land, do you know?" ”

Shen Rui's heart jumped, this is ...... Do you want to take stock of the opening remarks of the acres?! He replied cautiously: "In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, because of the misfortune, the vassal clan was divided, and there were one hundred and twenty dumps of sacrificial fields, and the private property of the nine clansmen was added to one place, and there were about three hundred dumps. After the He family was convicted, the good land was sold, and I heard from the clan brother that the clan could not buy 100 dumps as clan property for their children to study. The second room where the minister is located has no property in Songjiang, and the minister's biological mother has not left much acres of land with the minister, and the weaving mill has also been returned by the Holy Grace. ”

Brother Shou nodded and said: "Jiangnan has few fields, and it is already a big family to have these acres of land." ”

Shen Rui bowed his head and said yes.

Brother Shou suddenly sighed with emotion: "Shen Rui, you don't have much land under your name, you said, how much land do I have." Seeing that Shen Rui was about to speak, he interrupted again and said coolly: "Don't say anything about the whole world is not the king's land, you also know how much of this king's land is still in my hands, pay taxes to my grain!" ”

Shen Rui fell silent again.

"From Taizu to the first emperor, in one hundred and forty years, the world's fields have been reduced by half, and if they are not allocated to the nobles of the palace, they will be deceived and hidden in the cunning people." Brother Shou said coldly, "The Tianshun, Chenghua, and Hongzhi dynasties have repeatedly banned the occupation of official and civilian land, but you can see how many acres of land were occupied by them in Liaodong and Fengrun County. How can the treasury not be empty! ”

"It's a trick you gave to Zhang Lun and Zhang Hui's two brothers, it can be seen that you guessed my intentions." Brother Shou waved his hand fiercely, "I want to issue an order to measure the official fields in the world, if there are people who hide the number of fields and encroach on the official and private fields, they will be severely punished." ”

Shen Rui took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, this is good governance, but then the people who do it ......."

Brother Shou interrupted him and said, "I know what you want to say, in addition to supervising the imperial history and patrolling the imperial history, I will also send the West Factory to investigate." Or," he said with a sneer on his face, "Liu Jinzuo asked for an insider's factory." I'm ready, he's the first errand to set up a factory, so it's better to be this. ”

Shen Rui was shocked, he was afraid of this! He hurriedly said: "The emperor must not, the minister is worried that if the executor blindly acts recklessly, I am afraid that the emperor's original intention will be ruined and cause local commotion......"

Brother Shou suddenly sneered, and turned to look at the high pole standing in the distance.

Shen Rui's gaze followed, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

Brother Shou's implication is that a thin dog is a dog after all, and the meat it can't reach has to be a leopard.

How can the imperial history be compared with the wolf-like West Factory and the Insider Factory.

Even today's events, is it Liu Jin's real pretentiousness, or is it ...... Is it the little emperor who wants to sharpen the minions of Liu Jin, a leopard, and let him go out to bite the vicious dogs in those places?!

"Your Majesty!" Shen Rui couldn't help but raise his voice a little, and said: "The thin dog knows that the meat is back, but the leopard is wild and untamable, and the emperor sees it himself, so he will eat that meat immediately." ”

Brother Shou was stunned for a moment, touched his chin, and fell into deep thought again.

Shen Rui hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and persuaded bitterly: "The emperor forgives the sin, the minister said something unlucky, I am afraid that this matter will be slowly plotted, and the emperor of the Xichang method also knows, the minister is afraid that under the heavy pressure, he will force the place too much, and there is a person with the ambition of the wolf...... It's a big disaster, Your Majesty! I am a good soldier and man, when I drive the Tartars and defend the territory, I should not splash my blood on the chaotic people, the emperor is a clear guide! ”

Brother Shou was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "Zhang Yong, Zhang Daban, also said such things. He laughed to himself, "Do heroes see the same thing?" ”

Shen Rui lowered his head and said reverently: "The minister doesn't dare to compare himself to a hero, but he dares to say that the minister and Gonggong Zhang are both loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the emperor!" ”

Brother Shou stared at Shen Rui for a long time, suddenly smiled, and said softly: "I know." I believe in you. ”

"I want to ......," he paused, shook his head again, and said, "That's it, after a while, you and Chen Kuan will go back, spread my will, let the hundred officials disperse, and then talk to Liu Jin, let his insider factory investigate this matter carefully." ”

Shen Rui answered, and asked again: "The emperor wants to give hundreds of officials ice melons to show the emperor's favor?" ”

Brother Shou sneered, but in the end he still said: "Give it, give it melon, give it ice, and then let the imperial doctor go to the old gentlemen to take a look and give the medicine......"

Shen Rui hurriedly said: "Emperor Shengming! The Emperor's grace is immense! ”

Brother Shou waved his hand and said, "There was a fire in the Gongyuan before, and your bookstore manuscript preserved the test papers, and you have contributed a lot, and you also have prestige in the new science and technology jinshi." This time, you saved hundreds of officials under the scorching sun......"

He seemed to feel that these words were so sour that they were written in a book, and he couldn't help but laugh, and continued: "I also have prestige among hundreds of officials......

Shen Rui couldn't laugh for half a minute, he was afraid of the words "inviting people to buy people's hearts", he kowtowed: "The minister is afraid!" The previous time was that the emperor cherished talents and couldn't bear to depose the Gongshi who had the exam papers destroyed, and this time the emperor loved the hundred officials, and the Ming monarch loved the people, and the ministers were just running errands for the emperor to share their worries, how dare they be greedy for the merits of the sky! ”

Brother Shou paced over with his hands behind his back, patted Shen Rui on the shoulder, and said, "You are also too cautious." It's your credit, I remember. Since your brother Shen Ying has entered the Zhan Mansion, you will enter the General Political Envoy Department for experience, and you will also take care of the matter of repairing books and publications. ”

Shen Rui was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.

Brother Shou only smiled and waved his hand, and raised his voice to call the little waiter who was waiting far away, and passed down the message, asking Shen Rui and Chen Kuan to return to the palace to "rescue" the hundred officials.

*

In front of the Mukden Gate

is not what Shen Rui expected, and the hundred officials are not honestly kneeling to listen to Liu Jin's spitting and reprimand.

In the history of the previous life, at this time, Li Dongyang in the cabinet was not a eunuch, and it was inevitable that he would not be able to support it alone. Today's cabinet, with more Wang Hua and Yang Tinghe, can not allow the eunuch party to be arrogant.

When Shen Rui arrived, the cabinet elders Li Dongyang, Wang Hua, Yang Tinghe, Wang Wei, Liang Chu, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Liu Ji, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, were all arguing on the basis of reason.

Liu Jin is already very angry, although there are Jiao Fang, Liu Yu and others secretly helping, how can they compare to this group of Confucians.

It's just that Liu Jin bit the emperor's edict to death, so he didn't let go, and the hundred officials had to kneel like this, and they didn't dare to really get up and turn around and leave-it's not a joke to ask about the crime of disrespecting the decree.

When the little chamberlain shouted the emperor's dictation all the way and ran in, Liu Jin's face turned dark.

When he saw Chen Kuan and Shen Rui who followed him, he couldn't help but squint his eyes.

Shen Rui saluted Liu Jin first and said, "The lower official happened to be in Xiyuan, so the emperor asked the lower official and Lord Chen Kuan Chen to come over. ”

He refused to stand opposite the hundred officials and accept the kneeling of the hundred officials, but turned sideways and asked Chen Kuan to preach the message.

Chen Kuanyuan was the eunuch who passed the decree, he was familiar with the road, and he didn't pay attention to Liu Jin, and stood on the steps and loudly announced the emperor's edict, asking the hundred officials to retire from the court, and giving ice melons and other things, and recruiting the imperial doctor to come and see.

The hundred officials have been tossed for a long time, and when they heard these words, they were busy thanking them, and some people even called the emperor a saint with tears in their eyes.

Liu Jin's face became darker and darker, glared at Shen Rui, lowered his voice and asked coldly, "Is it really the emperor's dictation?!" Which emperor is the emperor? ”

Shen Rui's face was solemn, he stood straight, with the posture of a deputy envoy, but his lips moved slightly, and he replied: "Lord Liu, a little person like Xia Guan dares to be pretentious." ”

The word Jiaozhao made the tense muscles on Liu Jin's cheeks tremble, and he suppressed his anger and snorted.

But he heard Shen Rui say: "The emperor also said that this time the matter has to be investigated by Lord Liu's expert factory." ”

Liu Jin was overjoyed, so the emperor was allowed to set up an insider factory!

Shen Rui saw that his face was loose, so he added another sentence slowly, and said: "Lord Liu, the lower official is a layman, but, listening to this, it is quite strange, and then think about these recent things, have you ever thought about it, could it be that it was the people of the inner court who did it......

Liu Jin's face darkened a little when he heard this, his eyes flickered, and his gaze no longer knew where it fell.
