The story of Mrs. He's swallowing gold in front of the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was promoted by people with good intentions and spread in the capital for half a month, until the beheading of the people involved, Ling Chi's Ling Chi, and exile were all disposed of.

As Shen Rui expected, as the bitter lord of the Shen family, there are three meritorious sons who were maimed to death by torture, and it is impossible for any imperial historian who was born on the right path to attack such a Shen family, so the matter of Mrs. He ultimately affected only Wang Shouren.

Although the dust of the case has settled, the imperial history is a "rumor", and all kinds of excerpts to impeach Wang Shouren are still piled up on the desk of the little emperor.

The little emperor still didn't look at it, stayed in the middle of the country, and refused to give up the idea of Wang Hua joining the cabinet and Wang Shouren joining the general political department.

However, the cabinet dragged its feet on the grounds that "public opinion is afraid of boiling".

When Shen Rui came to visit, his teacher was wearing a half-old homely robe, holding his son and teaching him to write.

Seeing Shen Rui follow Chang'an into the study, Wang Shouren put down his pen, smiled and waved his hand to let him sit down without courtesy, and then said: "I told you to close the door and not go out, but you still ran out in the end." As he spoke, he handed his son over to Chang'an and led him out.

Shen Rui smiled: "Isn't this the case closed, because I miss the teacher, I came quickly." Since the teacher let me in, it doesn't hurt to think about it. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Wang Shouren again, and saw that he was much thinner than before, but he was full of energy, and his spirit was by no means comparable to before, so he couldn't help but secretly praise that the god of war was really suitable for staying on the battlefield, but he still said in his mouth: "The teacher has been reduced." ”

Wang Shouren glared at him and said, "What kind of child." ”

Shen Rui touched his nose embarrassedly and said, "The disciple also has feelings. ”

Wang Shouren snorted and said: "You are a lot fatter than in September, I don't know if it's because you're neglecting your homework." "But when I came up, I had to test him.

Shen Rui is also used to it, and he went to visit the Yue's family two days ago, not to mention his father-in-law's examination, even the eldest brother also pulled him to do two current articles.

Shen Rui understands that they are anxious to hope that he will join the company, and he himself is not in a hurry, this subject, no way to pass, because Brother Shou may not have the patience to wait for him for three years.

Moreover, it will be a few years since Liu Jin was in charge, and he didn't think about turning the tide by himself, he just hoped that with himself by the little emperor's side, officials like Wang Hua and Wang Shouren could say a few good words to save them from persecution.

This time, Shen Rui also brought a recent study with him to Wang's house, so he respectfully handed it in, and took the pen and paper that had been prepared early and silently wrote a classic text.

Wang Shouren read the article, read the words again, nodded and said: "Yes, the homework has not been left behind, and it is quite beneficial." The words still need to be practiced well, and the writing should be urgent and steady. ”

Shen Rui thanked the teacher with a smile before saying, "In the past month, my second uncle has been at home and has also instructed me in my homework. ”

Wang Shouren raised his eyebrows, shook his head and smiled, and said, "In the end, it is many years of Hanlin, and it is also the wine of the country's prince, but it is also your blessing." ”

Shen Ruizhi Wang Shouren also knew what had happened before, so he was already taking care of his disciple's face, which was very tactful.

You must know that when he went to see his father-in-law Yang Tinghe a year later, he was also praised for his progress, and when he mentioned that his second uncle helped to give advice, Yang Tinghe said unceremoniously: "I did something clear." I just hope that he will not be confused again in the future. ”

Shen Zhou's stain actually affected the reputation of all the Shen family's children to a greater or lesser extent, how could Yang Tinghe endure the innocent involvement of his promising son-in-law.

Shen Rui couldn't argue anything for Shen Zhou, besides, Shen Zhou's acceptance of Jinshi's daughter as a concubine this time was really too stupid, and it was no wonder that people called him confused.

After finishing the homework, the master and apprentice really talked about the use of soldiers in Taihu Lake.

Shen Rui also knew what the strength of the Ming Dynasty was, and Wang Shouren also said bluntly: "Military discipline is lax and military equipment is empty." ”

However, in the end, Wang Shouren is in charge of the army, and he always has the ability to turn decay into magic, he briefly told Shen Rui about several major battles, and when he talked about the fierceness, he still heard Shen Rui's heart surging, and he was eager to abandon his pen and follow Rong, and he also galloped like this on the battlefield.

"The sailors of Taihu Lake have indeed been carefully trained, but the time is still short, the climate is not enough, and their supplies are cut off, so they finally won it in one fell swoop." Wang Shouren said, "It's also a shame that Wang Shangshu is in charge, and he personally inquires about various scheduling." ”

The Wang Shangshu he said was Wang Shi, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, "When I heard people talk about the counterinsurgency in Guizhou, he respected him very much, and he dealt with him this time, and he really used soldiers like a god." It's a pity that the old man is getting older, and in recent years, his body has been injured frequently, and he has been folded several times. ”

Shen Rui also sighed silently, generally speaking, Nanjing is a place for people to provide for the elderly, it is a pity to put such a person in Nanjing, and listen to the teacher, the old man is afraid that he will not be able to stay in this position for a few years.

Thinking of the rebellion of Liu Liu and Liu Qi and the rebellion of King Ning, Shen Rui sighed deeply, I don't know if this Lord Wang Shi can have the strength to fight with the rebels after the Lord Wang Shi, whether it is as in history......

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask, "According to what the teacher saw, if it is a training ...... in Nanjing."

The brilliance on Wang Shouren's face gradually dimmed because of the mention of martial arts, he was silent for a moment, and said: "Now that the imperial court is empty, there is nothing to be done. Natural disasters continued, and there were Tatar knocks on the border......"

Shen Rui pursed his lips and said, "The Son of Heaven originally intended to raise a naval army of the imperial court in Taihu Lake to prevent the Ning Domain. If you practice well in the future, or will you be able to go to sea? ”

Wang Shouren was stunned, then shook his head and said, "Are you thinking about sea trade?" You're thinking simply. It is feasible to defend against the Ning Domain, but it is not easy to go to sea. River boats and sea vessels are different, and it is difficult to distinguish the direction at sea, so you need to have nautical charts, and you have to lead the way. The charts of the Taizong period have long been lost, and the destroyed ones have been destroyed, and it is difficult to reproduce the grand occasion of the three eunuchs of the year. ”

Shen Rui smiled bitterly: "Because I don't have silver, I want to go to sea to trade profitably, but I can't get off the ship without silver, how can I go to sea?" What a dead knot. ”

Wang Shouren said: "Although the Songjiang disaster is not a real pirate, but there are still few pirates, not to mention the pirates, and I don't know how many pirates crisscross the East China Sea." ”

Saying that, he sneered, "I don't know how many maritime merchants in the southeast, how can I let the imperial court get a piece of the pie, and then I will become a bandit if not a pirate will become a pirate." ”

Shen Rui was also silent, they all knew that maritime merchants and pirates were actually no different, but pirates were always robbing, and they didn't sell goods much, and most of the goods they sold were stolen goods; The sea merchants, on the other hand, were just selling goods and robbing other small fleets on the way.

In the vast sea, it is easy to cover up a few evils.

Although the imperial court's fleet is large enough, if it is not protected by a strong naval army, it is also easy to be sniped at sea by the ill-intentioned maritime merchant family.

What's more, sniping doesn't necessarily come from maritime merchants.

The maritime merchants, who refused to give up the huge profits at sea, would certainly use all Korea-China relations to prevent the imperial court from rebuilding its fleet and sailors.

Shen Rui couldn't help but mutter: "I don't know what King Ning relied on to raise the Taihu Lake water bandits." ”

Wang Shouren was silent for a long time and said, "I'm just afraid...... It wasn't just Matsue that was robbed. ”

Shen Rui was stunned for a moment, his heart was full of anger, and he couldn't help but scold: "Ning Fan is like this, and he has lost his conscience." How ought not to keep this scourge! ”

Wang Shouren sighed in a low voice: "The teachers of the kings of the imperial court naturally want to be famous, so where does the vassal king care." Most of the vassal kings were all in the fiefdoms, and the court was not in sight. It's a big fuss, and the emperor is just a petition, and the court is always cautious about the vassal king. ”

*

Shen Rui was originally like Wang Shouren, and believed that the imperial court was cautious about vassal kings.

But within two days, Brother Shou broke his opinion.

Previously, the Nanhai Junjun entered Beijing without authorization, and then found out that the Junjun Yibin was all kinds of lawless, and even caused the Shanxi disaster victims to enter Kyoto and deducted his head, although Brother Shou also issued an order to apply for King Qing, and his tone was quite harsh, but in essence, he only exempted the Nanhai Junjun from the title and took back the fief, and at the same time ordered the Yibin to be decided, and did not implicate the rest of the Qingwang Mansion.

On the first day of February, Wang Jin, the chief guest of honor of Yuanling County of King Zheng's Mansion, was impeached by the imperial history for prostituting during his mother's funeral.

In fact, during the mourning period, the matter of prostitutes taking concubines is not only among the relatives, but also between scholars and doctors, as long as there is such ironclad evidence that the children are not made, it is probably not the people who do not raise officials and do not hold them accountable.

If it is a civil and military general, he may also be grabbed by his political enemies and impeached, if it is not for the court to dump hard, it will also be raised high and gently put down.

Not to mention the clan relatives, if it is not the real power of the people who are jealous, generally no one is impatient to pay attention to it.

But this time, the little emperor directly ordered Wang Jin to be dismissed, and applied for King Zheng to restrain the clan of King Zheng's mansion.

Although the hundred officials were surprised, they remembered that King Zheng had made Yingzong unhappy, and the royal family had never liked the Zheng Wangfu family, and the little emperor was the most filial person, so he was afraid that he would not be filial to anyone, so a heavy punishment was nothing.

Immediately after the seventh day of the second month, the original horse pasture in Xin'an Town, Xin'an Town, Rongwang Chen Qibazhou Prefecture, was a farmland.

King Rong is the thirteenth son of Xianzong, and he has just turned 20 years old. This imperial uncle has been kept in the palace, and he was also quite liked by the former Empress Dowager Zhou, and he was crowned King Rong as early as the fourth year of Hongzhi.

And the first Empress Dowager Zhou was still very worried about King Rong's marriage before his death, Emperor Hongzhi had already set up to choose a concubine for King Rong, but unfortunately soon the Empress Dowager passed away, King Rong did not pass filial piety, Emperor Hongzhi passed away, King Rong's marriage has been delayed, and he has never been a vassal domain, and now he still stays in Beijing.

The letter of the household department pointed out that this is the Yongle period to set up a pasture, raise horses and military equipment, to the Chenghua period began to have the emperor's relatives Chen Qi for the farm, but when the first emperor was there, it has been cleaned up and hoarded, and it is not a private waste. And now King Rong will also choose a concubine and take up the domain, so he wrote to ask the emperor not to be with him.

Brother Shou did not refuse as before, but he also said more euphemistically according to his father's previous situation, but very strongly and directly rejected King Rong's request.

Before long, the Empress Dowager Wang in the palace assigned to select concubines and began to choose concubines for King Rong.

Once King Rong gets married, he will have to be a vassal immediately.

If it is said that King Qing and King Zheng are far away from today's bloodline, it is okay not to take them into account, but King Rong, the little imperial uncle, grew up with Brother Shou, and he has some feelings.

Brother Shou clearly expressed his suppression of the vassal king in this way.

Even after the Nanhai Junjun was sent back to the Qingwang Mansion and issued an order to ask for the guilt, the Qing King had written to bitterly denounce the unfilial piety of his son and daughter, and many county monarchs, township monarchs, and Zhenguo generals Zhu Qitao and Zhu Qizhe, including the Nanhai Junjun.

It's just a move to retreat into advance, crying and complaining, and wanting to be comforted by the emperor. King Qing has more than 100 children and grandchildren, so how can he pay attention to a few unscrupulous descendants.

At that time, the Ministry of Rites and the Department of Justice also discussed the responsibility of several people in the Qingwang Mansion, but the Shou Ge Rite Department left the excerpt and did not pursue it.

As a result, after the matter of King Zheng's mansion came out, Brother Shou issued an order, and the generals, lieutenants, and county lords and other generals went to Beijing to complain, which has recently become a trend, harassing the road, and insulting the clan.

He also sent a decree to King Qing's mansion, asking King Qing's descendants if they were so unfilial, or should they be dismissed.

It was bluffed that King Qing hurriedly went to the guilty fold.

Ordinary courtiers only said that this is a new dynasty and a new atmosphere after the change of the yuan.

The high-level bigwigs are well versed in the inside story of Taihu Lake's suppression of bandits, lest the little emperor do not know the seriousness, and he will become proud because he broke the arm of the Ning Domain, and he wants to subdue the other feudal kings.

Once you go too far, I'm afraid that you will rebel against the vassal king.

Today's Ming Dynasty can't afford to "appease" again.

However, the cabinet went to communicate with the little emperor several times, and the little emperor said that the old gentleman was too worried, but he did not take it seriously.

The three elders of the cabinet went back to discuss, but they worked together once, and they all agreed that I am afraid that there are internal officials who are playing right and wrong in front of His Majesty, the little emperor's heart is undecided, and he is very fond of military affairs, and this time the eunuch Zhang Yong took charge of the imperial horse prison after obtaining military merits, will there be any internal officials and eunuchs who also want to take this path, and then advocate in front of the emperor......

When this sword soldier moves, there will never be peace.

At present, the three cabinet elders under the command of the imperial history have started a new round of impeachment of internal officials.

In addition to the cliché of the distant villain pro-cabinet ministers, in addition to carefully selecting the inner servants, he also accused the inner palace of being extravagant, the internal officials being greedy and cruel, and the emperor was not as frugal as the previous emperor, and he also spent extravagantly on playthings.

In the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Brother Shou couldn't help but feel depressed after these folds, and dropped two stacks of folds before he was slightly discouraged.

Liu Jin stood on the side, silently watching Brother Shou finish venting, before leaning over to pick up the folds scattered on the ground in person, and said with a smile: "The emperor also knows their tone, the more alarmist they are, the more they seem to be loyal and worried about the country and the people, why bother with such people." When it was warm and cold, it was important for the emperor to take care of his body. ”

Brother Shou squinted at him and said coldly: "They also scolded you, and you also looked at it, but you were not angry, but you had a good stomach." ”

Liu Jin smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, beating slaves and maids to the East Palace, this scolding has not been broken, if you want to get angry again, I don't know how many times you will be angry." ”

After a pause, he turned to say: "Your Majesty, look at the fold, how many of the internal officials on errand beside you have not been scolded by foreign ministers?" There is still scolding or something, and the slaves and maids can't hide the little things that are big from these royal historians. ”

Brother Shou's face became heavier and heavier, his eyes swept around Liu Jin a few times, but he didn't answer, he turned around the room twice with his hands in his hands, turned his head and went to take a fold on the other side and look at it.

He also glanced at it twice and threw it down, and continued to read the next one, but he paused, and Shou Geqi said: "Patrol according to Liu Yu, the imperial history of Zhili, impeachment of the eunuch Wu Zhong was ordered to choose a marriage without knowing how to be cautious, and even if his subordinates are good at Weifu, they are in Kesuo and have hundreds of thousands. This Wu Zhong, isn't it the queen mother's steward? Why did you run out to get married? Which marriage do you choose? After the election, or choose Princess Rong? ”

Liu Jin laughed dryly and said, "I think it's the Queen Mother's will." ”

Brother Shou was even more curious, "This is strange, the relatives and girls of the Zhang family have all lived in the palace to accompany the Queen Mother, why did the Queen Mother send someone out to choose a concubine?" What are you listening to? ”

Liu Jin shook his head and said, "The slave maid has never heard of it. However, it is also the proper meaning of the selection of show girls everywhere. In fact, he was thinking in his heart, but he was afraid that he would still fight with the Zhou family, so the Zhang family sent someone out again to screen out beauties suitable for entering the palace.

Speaking of which, even if the girls of the Zhang family live in the palace of the Queen Mother, they have very few opportunities to see the emperor, but the girls of the Zhou family in the palace of the Queen Mother see the emperor more often.

I just didn't see which side of the emperor was more attentive to the people, it seemed to be indifferent.

Seeing that the yuan has been changed, the emperor's wedding is just around the corner, and the queen mother is afraid that she will be anxious.

Brother Shou heard the "oh" sound, threw away the fold, and was lazy to look at the others, turned around and took two steps onto the Luohan couch, stretched out his arms and legs, and sent Liu Jin away: "You go." Call Lu Shun'er a few here. I'll rest. With that, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Liu Jin hurriedly took the thin quilt and put it on the waist of the little emperor, and sent two little chamberlains to put the fold away properly, and then tiptoed out and went to the celebrant supervisor.

About a quarter of an hour, Brother Shou called the little waiter to come in, ordered him to prepare to leave the palace, and ordered Zhang Hui to follow, and went to Gao Wenhu to find Xiu Mu in the street.

An hour later, in front of the Shen Mansion of Renshoufang, Shen Rui personally came to welcome the second son of the British Mansion, but ushered in Brother Shou in ordinary cloth clothes, and the two tall and strong teenagers behind him, Gao Wenhu and You Xuan, actually carried a huge bundle of sturdy whole smoked pig's head in their hands.

Shen Rui couldn't help but laugh and invited a group of people into the door, and couldn't help but point to the pig's head and ask, "How many of you, what are you doing?" February 16 is already over the land offering, right? ”

Brother Shou smiled and said: "This is the signature dish of the future Yue family of Tiger Head, or is it made by Tiger Head Future Daughter-in-law herself, we will bring it to you to taste." ”

Shen Rui turned his head to Gao Wenhu and smiled: "When is the happy event set?" I haven't heard you mention it during the New Year's Festival. ”

Gao Wenhu can see a little red even though his face is dark, he is already ashamed, and his voice is much lower than usual, "It was set ......by my father and mother after the New Year's Festival."

Brother Shou had already laughed and said, "I ...... I originally said that the tiger head is now also the general banner of Jinyi Wei, and it is right to marry a girl from an official family, but the aunt took a fancy to the little lady of the bacon shop at the entrance of their street, so it was decided. ”

Gao Wenhu said angrily: "The emperor...... You, Wenhu is your reward today, Wenhu is a butcher's son, and the pig killing shop and the bacon shop are the right match. ”

Zhang Hui squeezed his eyebrows and smiled on the side: "This bacon shop has been taking meat from the tiger's house for many years, and it is also an old customer. ”

Yoo-hyun also laughed as if he was on the side.

Gao Wenhu became more and more embarrassed when he boarded, and it was rare to twist it.

Shen Rui smiled and came to relieve him, and asked someone to take the pig's head and send it to the kitchen, thanking him for his kindness.

After Xiaoxiang, there is already meat at home, but there is not much food at home, this smoked pig's head meat is brought by Brother Shou himself, and recommended that it is delicious, so he is ready to leave some family to taste, and the rest is sent to Mao's family and Yang's family.

welcomed everyone to the study, because Shen Quan and Shen Lian had returned to Songjiang after closing the case, only Shen Rui received everyone.

Brother Shou first picked up the most comfortable soft couch and leaned up, let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "In the end, it is still comfortable outside the palace." Because he looked at Shen Rui again and said, "The will of the tribute will come down in a few months." ”

Shen Rui might as well ask him to pay tribute when he opened his mouth, and hurriedly wanted to thank the emperor, but was stopped by Brother Shou at the signal of Zhang Hui.

Brother Shou raised his arms, looked at Shen Rui with a smile, and said, "Shen Rui, what way do you have to make money?" ”
