The west side of the Qianqing Palace is a small hall and Yongsu Palace

"This is a chaotic order, the cabinet will not be edicted, if the decree is issued, the cabinet will be sealed." Li Dongyang immediately made a decision, and immediately shouted sonorously.

Liang Gong, the big eunuch over there, knelt down after saying the last word of Yizhi, and at this moment, listening to the words of the cabinet chief, he was so frightened that he lay on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head.

Brother Shou stopped laughing, his eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "Why bother to stop me, no, the Queen Mother has even finished my posthumous affairs, what do you Aiqing still have to worry about?!" I have made up my mind,......"

"Your Majesty!" Li Dongyang seemed to be angry, and he didn't care about the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, and emphasized sharply: "The original intention of the Queen Mother was for the sake of the emperor's safety, and she didn't want the emperor to be in danger, but the words used to provoke the generals were inappropriate. ”

He turned his head and said to Liang Gong in a more stern voice: "The Queen Mother, this is a matter of concern." The emperor is filial piety, can understand the Queen Mother's motherly heart, and please let the Queen Mother be relieved, no need for him to think. If there is a traitor and villain who vainly tries to confuse the Holy Monarch of the Cigong Palace, the law of the country will never be spared! ”

Li Dongyang turned around and saluted Brother Shou again, and said with a straight face: "The minister is in a hurry, and there are many inappropriate words, please punish Your Majesty." I ask Your Majesty to decree that nothing that is said in the inner temple today shall be allowed to be passed on. ”

This is an effort to pinch the mother and son together, and under the pretext that his words are inappropriate, it is forbidden to spread the Queen Mother's decree that will cause an uproar.

Brother Shou looked at Li Dongyang with a wooden face for a long time before he spit out the word "quasi".

Li Dongyang's cold gaze swept over the ministers present again.

There was no fool present, and the Queen Mother may indeed want to stop the emperor from calling the emperor to march in person, but it is impossible to say that the words of adopting the family are purely to scare the emperor and force him to retreat.

When the Chong Zhang family sent Concubine De into the palace, they knew that the Queen Mother and the Zhang family had always wanted to seize the imperial heir as a bargaining chip.

Of course, if there is a family of relatives, who doesn't want to catch the emperor's heir?

Now that Ning Fan is giving gifts to the Zhang family with great fanfare, the Queen Mother is saying this, do you still need to ask what it means?

Presumably, because of the previous Taimiao Sixiang's trouble, only mentioning the adoption of the little prince of Ningfu is too eye-catching and too sensitive, or the Zhang family is not willing to be led away by Ningfu, so they simply circle the school-age children of the palace who have the reputation of "virtuous kings" in the recent provinces, who will not be able to stammer them at that time?

What a calculation!

But in the face of Li Dongyang's gaze, everyone will say that they are tight-lipped.

But today, I'm afraid that I won't be able to do well, but there is a little rumor to spread out, and I can't tell how many rumors have been spread on the Ning Mansion.

Over there, Wang Hua was also giving Liu Zhong a look, and the latter understood, nodding to indicate that he knew how to deal with the officials who heard the news today.

Brother Shou didn't care about these people's eyebrows and lawsuits at all, and only lightly instructed Liu Zhongdao: "The Queen Mother was overly saddened by the old lady's affairs, so she passed on my message and asked Concubine De to accompany the Queen Mother more." Passing on the doctor's daily consultation, I want to see the pulse. ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand to let Liang Gong retreat, and only said, "You know the rules, there is no next time." ”

Liang Gong had a white face, kowtowed heavily, and crawled out with a rolling belt.

The hall fell silent again, except for the sound of rain.

Brother Shou didn't pay attention to people, and casually flipped up Shen Rui's note, pouting all the time, looking disdainful, but when he saw the secret report, he couldn't help but change his face......

Shanxi Datong, Shen Shen government

Coming out of the secret room, Xi Yan didn't hurry to leave, and drank a pot of good tea in the outer study steadily, and tasted the Soviet-style dim sum made by the chef brought by the south side of the house, and was full of praise for a while. After eating and drinking, he stretched his waist and said that he wanted to leave.

Shen Hui had a gloomy face and personally sent him out.

Xiyan's face smiled extraordinarily festively, and when he crossed the threshold of the small courtyard, he turned his head and said with a hippie smile at Shen Hui: "It's really embarrassing for the master to be so small......"

Before he finished speaking, suddenly an arm suddenly stretched out and grabbed the back of his neck vigorously, and then a rope came over.

Xi Yan was shocked, although he was taken to stand unsteadily and fell backwards, but he was also trained for two years to punch and kick, when even if he grabbed the rope around his neck, his body leaned around, but he kicked out of his feet.

But I didn't want a pain in my waist, and a sharp blade had pierced into the flesh.

He screamed in horror, the rope around his neck was tightened, and a cry for help stuck in his throat.

Immediately after that, there were two more stabs, and the man was silent.

It happened too suddenly, too fast, Shen Hui didn't even have time to react, and the inkstone over there had already lost his breath.

Shen Hui is a civil official, although he has punished his subordinates, broken cases, and seen a lot of bloody beatings, but this is the first time he has seen such naked murder scenes.

He was startled, and subconsciously wanted to run back, but his legs were a little disobedient.

"Don't worry, sir, the thief has been taken." A pair of iron pincer-like hands held his arm, and a familiar voice sounded.

Shen Hui turned his head and saw that it was the second son Shen Hui.

His pupils shrank sharply, and his mind was in turmoil. Suddenly, he remembered something, and hurriedly shook off his son, wanting to go over to see how the man was.

But how can you not shake off those hands, only listen to Shen? said: "Master, the inkstone is dead." ”

Shen Hui Huo Ran turned around, and then faced Shen? With dark eyes, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"Master, let the boys take care of it. Let's go back. "Shen? As he spoke, he hugged Shen Hui and forcibly helped him into the study.

Entering the brightly lit study, Shen Hui seemed to be relieved, and raised his hand to slap Shen? On his face, he said sharply: "You idiot, do you know what you have done?" ”

Sink? Covering his face, his expression was still calm, "Won't the master go into the secret room to speak?" ”

Shen Hui choked and went to the secret room angrily.

Sink? Rubbing his cheeks, what is he doing?! He's going to keep everything he's been so hard to have!

Now he is in charge of internal and external affairs, and he knows a little bit of trouble, not to mention that there are young strangers who have entered the master's outer study.

He recognized Xiyan at a glance from a distance - back then, his wife hated his aunt and his family, so the two little scholars and slaves who were not born in the family could also look down on people and bully him.

In order to please his wife and get two rewards, he deliberately framed him and gave him several beatings, and once he was almost blinded in one eye.

I can't forget them for the rest of my life, and he knows them when they turn to ashes!

And the inkstone was also lost with Shen Dong back then, and now it suddenly comes back, what good thing can it be?

That means that Shen Dong is still alive and may come back!

Shen Dong was lost, his father began to cultivate him, he worked hard for nearly ten years in exchange for today's status, everyone in the house respected him and feared him, and everyone outside regarded him as a character.

If Shen Dong comes back, then he will be the poor concubine who is penniless, and he will become a housekeeper and servant who takes care of the housework for the eldest brother to earn money, kneeling at his brother's feet, and seeing if his brother's mood will reward him for a bite of food.

All his hard work will be in vain, how willing he is!

What's more, where did Shen Dong lose it? In the past, he didn't understand when he was young, but gradually he was exposed to more things, and there were things about the previous clan, and he still didn't understand something.

Now, when Shen Dong comes back, he is not only in a position that is not guaranteed, but he is afraid that the lives of his family will be difficult to protect.

Entered the secret room, Shen? Then I heard a loud shout: "Bastard, kneel!" ”

Sink? He didn't move, and asked Shen Hui rhetorically: "Does the master know what he has done?" ”

"Why did the lord initiate the Sect Ordinance in the first place? The master asked me to go to Uncle Rui at that time, what did he tell me? ”

"Did you forget? If the eldest brother really comes back, our family will never recover. The old man has been guarding the land for many years, and has done so many good things for the people, but will he be destroyed on him? ”

Sink? asked one after another, but Shen Hui couldn't answer a word.

finally sighed, Shen Hui said helplessly: "What do you know!" Do you know what that kid just said?! Your grandfather is in his hands!! ”

Sink? His heart was shocked, his brain spun fast, and his face changed greatly, and he said loudly: "What does he want the master to do?!" Don't be confused, sir! ”

Shen Hui took a deep look at this son, who was inconspicuous before, but then Shen Dong lost it, and the one under his head was too small to be useful, so he brought this up.

I didn't expect that although this kid couldn't read, his brain was really bright, and he could figure out the joints so quickly.

If you can make a name for yourself and donate an official, you may not be able to go up in the future......

"You thought of it too." Shen Hui no longer concealed it, and said the words of Xi Yan briefly, and said, "I'm also afraid that he will be cheating, and I don't know how many accomplices he has here, so it's just a few words." Send him away first, and don't let him send a letter to hurt your grandfather right away. ”

Saying that, he glared at Shen and said, "You are so reckless, you will kill him when you come up, if you let his accomplices know......"

Sink? But he asked, "How does the master know that he must have been sent by the eldest brother and not someone else?" No, I'm not saying that someone in the court tempted the master, I mean, if the master does it, if this handle falls into the hands of others, what will the master do when the time comes, can the master not do it? ”

Collaborate with the enemy, once investigated, it will be difficult for the whole family to escape, let alone kill an old lady.

The court is tilted into the middle, Shen Hui understands better than his son, what does it matter who sent it? No matter who sent it, this "Gong from the Dragon" is a big pit.

Is it a credit to the Tatar invasion? Even if the chaos in the north buys time for King Ning, it is impossible to be rewarded in the end, on the contrary, he has to worry that one day he will be turned over the old accounts, and it will be a big crime to destroy the door when he says this!

But will Ning Fan be looking for him alone? Or a civil official?

He was in charge of the horse market, and he knew best what was going on in the steppe, and under the drought, could the Tatars not plunder? No way!

So knowing that the Tatars are bound to come, does he hide or not?

Knowing that someone would inevitably let the Tatars in, did he hide or not?

It's a pity that his life is in a tight situation.

If the Tatars invade in a big way, there will be chaos in the north, then ...... Does Ning Fan have a chance?

The imperial court cleaned up the king of Anhua very quickly, and that was also because there were heavy troops in the border towns, but what about the south?

Back then, no one thought it would be difficult to succeed.

Therefore, although Shen Hui was perfunctory at that time, his heart was also a little shaken, not to mention, he was also really worried about his father's safety, and he didn't want to worry about it early.

But now......

"No matter who it is, you are killing people, startling the grass and snakes......" Shen Hui didn't have a good breath.

Sink? But he immediately said, "The master handed it over to me." Songjiang, Shanxi is thousands of miles away, even if the people behind the inkstone here get the news that the inkstone is dead, and want to send it to Songjiang, it will take some time, and it is impossible to change horses day and night in a hurry-

"But they can't, but we can, yesterday I also saw the tailwind marker dart head Xing Dazhuan, he said that Tian Toyota will be in Datong in the next two days. I will go to him in a while, first ask him to send some people to protect our house, and then let the word come over and go back to Songjiang as soon as possible to see the situation. It's about Songjiang, even for the sake of Second Uncle Rui's face, Tian Feng will also step up to deliver the letter.

"Tatar matter, whether it is true or not, let Tian Feng tell Second Uncle Rui as soon as possible." Sink? Stared at Shen Hui and said, "This matter, Second Uncle Rui can go up to heaven to listen, only when up to heaven listens, the master is safe." Three years later, the old man has many merits in Shanxi, and the second uncle Rui will help him again, and it will be as easy to think of revenge. ”

For the righteous destruction of the people in the city, he sacrificed his son and his old father, and from then on, he Shen Hui is a moral gentleman, and with this layer of golden light protection, it is difficult for political enemies to attack.

It's just that from now on, he Shen Hui must also be a loyal minister, don't think about the grass on the wall.

Shen Hui sighed, and now he has no choice.

"Brother, I'm going to work hard for you." Shen Hui said.

He paused and said, "In the future, I will walk around with your second uncle Rui, Henan and Shandong will ask him to get a business registration, and in the future, I will donate a ...... for your father."

Sink? Lowering his eyelids, not to mention the others, only this "brother" has not heard his father call him for many years. In the past, he was always called the second child.

is the second, and there is the boss above.

But in the future, there will be no boss.

Raising his head again, he looked resolute, nodded solemnly, and changed his name in his mouth, "Yes." Father rest assured. ”

*

In the Yongsu Palace, when Brother Shou read the Chen secret report, everyone was also paying attention to him from the corner of their eyes.

Seeing his expression change, everyone subconsciously went to look at Shen Rui.

Shen Rui's eyelids drooped, and he didn't care if it was Wang Hua, Yang Tinghe, or Zhang Yong.

The secret report was delivered to him by Tian Feng day and night.

Ning Fan wanted to lure the Tatars into the customs and chaos in the northern frontier. If the emperor is going to go to the door at this time, it will be sent to the door.

Not to mention the danger of the sword soldiers, let's just say that if there is an assassin from the Ning Domain, the assassin will ambush the king halfway and kill him......

Even when he arrived at the border safely, he didn't wait for the fight, and he first let the Tatars in, and this one will definitely be defeated.

What the royal driver wants is the reputation of a big victory, and he knows that he will be defeated and will go, so he is not ashamed to rush up!

Brother Shou closed his fold, glanced at everyone, and said, "That's the case for the time being." After several Aiqing went back, they wrote down the preparations for the border pass. ”

Seeing that everyone responded, Brother Shou called Shen Rui's name again, as if to let him stay and talk back, but after a while, he finally waved his hand and told him to go back to wash and change clothes first, indicating that he would be called again tomorrow.

Shen Ruixin said that Brother Shou was afraid that he hadn't thought it through, and he had to think about it again, and he was in a hurry to go home now.

The ministers retreated and came out, Zhang Yong and Zhang Hui both had official duties, and they took the first step to accuse them. The elders have to go to the duty room to discuss matters.

Liang Chu smiled and called Shen Rui to go with him, saying that he would ask about Henan carefully.

But Wang Hua over there refused with a very unceremonious sentence of "I can't take care of Henan now", and directly sent Shen Rui out of the palace.

Wang Hua was already dissatisfied with Liang Chu for taking Shen Rui to Henan for 10,000 yuan, and Yang Tinghe would definitely discuss the matter of Zhang Yong's border after knowing it, and he didn't want this son-in-law who had a good relationship with Zhang Yong to get involved.

Shen Rui didn't want to wade into this troubled water, so he just took advantage of these words to salute and leave.

After leaving the palace gate and getting into his own carriage, Shen Rui instructed Zhang Chenglin: "You go home first, see if the second master is not at home, if not, go to the academy quickly and ask him to come back, just say that I have something urgent." ”

*

Qingze Academy is now quite famous, and the suburban area later built a slightly smaller "university town" according to the template of Dengzhou Penglai Academy.

The capital is expensive, every inch of land is expensive, and it is not as much as the mountainous land of Dengzhou, and the scale of the "university town" is naturally much smaller.

Although the scale is not large, experts can be invited from the south, and with the help of Shen Yue, a Danqing expert, the overall Suzhou garden style design, the pavilions and pavilions are extremely elegant, and they are highly sought after by Beijing Chinese Yashi for a while.

Many Hanlin are more and more willing to teach a few classes in their free time and be a "guest professor", and more and more students are willing to come here to study for this scenery and this famous teacher.

Shen Zhou now basically lives in Qingze Academy, and even the third master, Shen Run, often likes to live in the academy garden for a while.

In the past few days, because they knew that Shen Rui was coming back, they returned from outside the city and waited at home early.

Shen Rui hurriedly changed his clothes and washed when he got home, and invited the two uncles to the secret room.

knew that he had just come back from the palace, and he was in the secret room, Shen Zhou and Shen Run were all calm, waiting for Shen Rui to speak.

Shen Rui looked at Shen Zhou for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "So that the second uncle knows that now, there is an opportunity to make the Zhang family fall." ”

Which Zhang family? The Zhang family, who can talk to Shen Zhou about the downfall, does not think about it except for the Marquis of Jianchang, who has a grudge.

Shen Zhou stood up suddenly, "What? ”

The third master, Shen Run, was also busy asking: "But what is the big deal?" ”

That is the queen mother's mother's family, a top relative, if his family falls, it can only be a big incident in the palace!

Shen Rui helped Shen Zhou sit down, and he could clearly feel the excitement he had forced down.

The only seedling in the family, a young talent who was promoted at the age of sixteen, should have a promising future, but died innocently.

Even if this heart-piercing pain can be diluted by more than ten years, the enemy is still alive!

Enemies, they can't move yet.

The word "forbearance" is a knife pierced in his heart, reminding him all the time.

This enemy is still extremely arrogant.

A few years ago, he forcibly married his daughter Zhang Yuxian, who had a bad reputation, to Shen Jin, and in the past few months, he released Zhang Yuting, the daughter of Yang Tian, who almost harmed the Shen family's wife, and also ordered Zhang Wei, the former son-in-law of the Shen family, who harmed Shen Li.

It's just too deceitful!

Listening to the ability to bring down the Zhang family, how could Shen Zhou not be excited.

Shen Rui shook his arm and helped him calm down before he said today's matter, "The emperor wants to drive the royal expedition in person, and the queen mother rushed to pass on the word of mouth when all the pavilion elders were in the Qianqing Palace, saying that the emperor was not allowed to go up, and also said that he would adopt a few clan children in the palace, among them, there was the little prince of Ningfu." ”

When the third master heard this, he immediately said: "It must be Ning Fan's pick!" Since the people of Ning Fan entered Beijing in the first year, it was rumored that Ning Fan had given heavy gifts to the Zhang family all over the street. ”

He quickly understood what Shen Rui meant: "If Ning Fan is reversed, the Zhang family will inevitably be implicated." Just look at how deeply implicated. ”

Ning Fan has a heart of disobedience, and outsiders dare not judge, but the Shen family knew about it when Songjiang suffered a "woe" ten years ago!

The Zhang family accepted the anti-king gift, and asked the queen mother to raise the anti-king's son by her side, and tried in vain to be the emperor's heir.

The third master glanced at his brother and said to Shen Rui: "When Liu Jin was in power, he framed many people, and some people didn't want to return to their hometowns, so they came to teach in our academy. After Liu Jin fell, the unjust case was rehabilitated, many people recovered, and our family did its best. Now these people are in the Hanlin Academy, and there are also people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate......"

Lin Fu was like this back then, and was later recommended by Shen Rui to Dengzhou to serve as the governor, and now he has been promoted to the prefect, and he can be regarded as the backbone of the "Shen Party".

Shen Zhou also nodded slowly.

When this academy was established, he also wanted to train some students to help Shen Rui, but it was still too early for his students to gain a foothold in the imperial court, but the batch of "gentlemen" who had fallen into trouble were ready-made manpower.

"Blow some wind first, and just wait for Ning Fan to raise the anti-flag, and then impeach the Zhang family." The third old man said.

"We don't need to blow the wind in our house," Shen Rui smiled coldly, "Today's matter, although Elder Li Ge said in the palace that he asked for a ban on transmission, and Elder Wang Ge also asked Liu Zhong to take care of the internal officials, but the Queen Mother can say it when the elders are there, it is obviously not a temporary intention, someone in her palace must have known about it, as soon as she speaks today, the Ning Fan outside is bound to be widely publicized." ”

Shen Rui asked, "Second uncle, third uncle, what do you think, what excuse will Ning Fan use to raise troops?" ”

"Qingjun's side?" The third old man said. King Anhua is a list of Liu Jin's top ten crimes.

Shen Zhou said: "In the past, when it was difficult, ......"

But at the beginning of Jingjing, the first King Ning sent troops to help, Taizong had promised to divide the world equally, and at the end of Jingnan succeeded, but he changed the fief of King Ning and sent people to Jiangxi far away.

Shen Rui shook his head and said slowly: "At the beginning, Ning Fan had obtained a heterochromatic dragon note in Liu Jin's hands. ”

The two of them couldn't help but exclaim, it was really a different color dragon note, the meaning was extraordinary.

At that time, there were rumors on the street about this heterochromatic dragon note, and they thought it was just Ning Fan's boasting and raising his worth, but they didn't expect it to be true!

"Liu Jin is emasculated, it's not a pity to die!" The third master couldn't help scolding.

"Ning Fan, holding a heterochromatic dragon note, will raise troops under the guise of the Empress Dowager's decree." Shen Ruidao.

The emperor has never admitted that the son of King Xuanning entered Beijing with the "heterochromatic dragon note, plus gold to repay the gift", and the king of Ning has a heterochromatic dragon note in his hand, so who gave it? Naturally, it was given by the Queen Mother!

At this time, even if Liu Jin stole it, no one would believe it.

The Shen Zhou brothers all changed their faces, "It's strange that Dao Ning Fan grabbed the Zhang family and didn't let go, and came up with the idea of letting the Queen Mother adopt the clan!" ”

The third old man said in a low voice: "At the beginning, Zheng Wang's goacy case ......"

Shen Ruixin said, Zheng Wang's gossip case just said that Wuzong was not from the Empress Dowager Zhang, not the elder, but also the son of Xiaozong, the only bloodline of Xiaozong, no matter what, it is more justifiable than King Ning, so in the history of his previous life, King Ning did not mention Zheng Wang's stubble at all, but completely denied that Wuzong is royal bloodline.

But at the moment, he cannot make this "prophecy", he can only make reasonable speculations based on reality.

"Once King Ning rebels under the banner of the Queen Mother, as long as the Zhang family is matched, it will be a rebellion." Shen Rui said, "After all, it is the queen mother's family, it is not possible to punish the nine clans and behead the whole family, and the exile is also in the two places, but don't think about the title and official position, and return to the original place in the end, there will be no day to turn over." ”

When the Zhang family falls, there is no need for the Shen family to step on it, and I don't know how many people will swarm to beat the water dogs.

The third master punched his fist and said, "Let's take advantage of the fact that the Zhang family is still arrogant and unaware of it now, and hold all kinds of evidence of the crime." ”

Shen Rui nodded, "The Zhang family has never known how to write the word 'cautious'......"

The third master smiled coldly and said, "His family only respects their subordinates at the end of the day." I'm going to talk to Liu Yu and Master Liu. ”

This Liu Yu is the famous and famous imperial history that has been staring at the Zhang family since the Hongzhi Dynasty, and knocked down several in-laws of the Zhang family.

Later, when Liu Jin came to power to clean up Liu Xiemen, he sent the patrol to Yunnan according to the Zhili Imperial History, and he was not able to return to Beijing until Liu Jin fell because of his political achievements.

When the Shen family and the He family opened up a lawsuit against the Japanese family, when Zhou Xian secretly threw out the news that the only heir of the Shen family was killed by Zhang Yanling, this Lord Liu jumped out to impeach Zhang Yanling.

The third master went to visit this Liu Yushi with Shen Li back then, and when he was sent out of Beijing, the third master also sent Cheng Yi, and when he returned to Beijing, he also picked up the wind for him, which was considered to be a little friendship.

The uncle and nephew were planning here, but Shen Zhou was silent for a long time and didn't say a word.

Soon the two of them also noticed Shen Zhou's abnormality, and couldn't help but stop to look at him.

Shen Zhou said another thing, "There have been rumors in Beijing recently, saying that the emperor ...... Dumb and unfilial, he said that you were a devotee. ”

He looked at Shen Rui, "With a Tianliangzi, I framed both the emperor and you......"

When the rumor of Tianliangzi spread in Beijing, the Shen Zhou brothers sent a letter to Shen Rui.

At this time, the third master was also busy asking Shen Rui, "You can see Zhang Hui when you come back this time, do you ask what is going on with Tianliangzi?" ”

Shen Rui waved his hand and said, "Uncles, don't worry, I'm fine." This thing is a rumor made by Ning Fan, who came to kill three birds with one stone. ”

"Zhang Hui said that Ning Fan wanted to take advantage of Tianliangzi's fame to push their little son to take a step up, and he also wanted to use Tianliangzi's hand to insert people into the palace and install their Taoist priests," he said with disgust on his face, "What's even more vicious is that they still want to trick the emperor into serving Jindan!" ”

The Shen Zhou brothers couldn't help but scold in unison: "This one has lost his conscience!" ”

Shen Rui said: "Fortunately, Tianliangzi is an old man, looking stupid and only knows about medicine, but in fact, his brain is very clear." handed over the truth to the emperor early, and silently calculated Ning Fan, and gave them a few nails that they had originally bought and buried in the palace. ——The two hundred zhang zhang zhang was rewarded by the emperor for this, and I am afraid that there will be more rewards in the future. ”

The two brothers breathed a sigh of relief, especially the third old man who had more contact with Tianliangzi and didn't eat his strong hawthorn pills, and couldn't help laughing: "This old way, some skills!" ”

Shen Rui was also stunned, and said: "Tianliangzi didn't run away, he was afraid of being harmed by Ning Fan, the cat was in Xiyuan, and he said to the outside world that Yunyou had gone." He was afraid that Ning Fan would let him treat the little prince as a trap, especially if the little prince had three longs and two shorts, it didn't matter if he relied on him, and then relied on the emperor...... And he hid.

"I didn't think that Ning Fan still slandered him through the death of the Empress Dowager, and it was not easy for him to come out at this time. Ning Fan's move is not only to clean up Tianliangzi, but also to take the opportunity to slander the emperor, and then bring me, who has always been against them. ”

The Shen Zhou brothers glanced at each other, and even in the secret room, they still lowered their voices and said, "The Empress Dowager ......"

Shen Rui shook his head, "Zhang Hui said, don't ask about the affairs in the palace." ”

If there is no wonder, how can you not ask.

Shen Zhou's face became more and more calm, "If it is an ordinary time, the Zhang family will fall, but if the Zhang family falls when the Ning Fan rebels, the status of the queen mother will be shaken, and it will be unfavorable to the emperor." In particular, the Empress Dowager is gone. ”

He looked at Shen Rui and said seriously: "And Brother Rui, you are a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and our family has an enmity with the Zhang family...... Someone will inevitably criticize you for provoking the love between mother and son. ”

Shen Rui's identity and position, even if he wants to play a role of persuasion, someone must believe it.

Shen Rui tugged at the corners of his mouth and said what about him?

"Where did the Zhang family do anything good?! Begging for land, begging for officials, begging for salt, they are the best at sucking blood, when did they contribute to the emperor and this Ming Dynasty? ”

Shen Rui said coldly, "The Queen Mother is the Queen Mother, the Zhang family is the Zhang family, these evil things of the Zhang family are not done at the behest of the Queen Mother, right?" When did I provoke the emperor not to honor the queen mother?! I'm just bringing down a scourge of the Zhang family, hoeing rape for the court, and eliminating harm for the people. ”

"Regoer!" Shen Zhou raised his voice and interrupted him, saying, "You say this clearly, but the Zhang family is the queen mother's family, which is indistinguishable." To move the Zhang family is to move the queen mother. You get along with the emperor and the ministers, and if you do this, it will inevitably be interpreted by the villain as the emperor's meaning......"

"Uncle doesn't know what the emperor meant?!" Shen Rui asked rhetorically.

He has endured the Zhang family for a long time, Shen Luo's hatred, Yang Tian's hatred, and the disgusting things that the Zhang family did later to marry, he remembered it all one by one.

In such an era of supremacy of monarchy, if Brother Shou doesn't want to bring down the Zhang family, it will be too difficult to clean up the Zhang family.

And when the Queen Mother's oracle came out, Shen Rui knew that the opportunity had come!

The Zhang family has dragged Brother Shou back, why can Brother Shou still tolerate the Zhang family?

Because the Zhang family is still useful, the emperor sometimes needs an arrogant family of relatives to do something.

is also because the Zhang family has not touched Brother Shou's bottom line.

But when the Queen Mother said that she wanted to raise a clan, when King Ning claimed that he had raised troops on the orders of the Queen Mother, and directly denied Brother Shou's bloodline, that was the real threat to Brother Shou's throne - because he was the eldest son, he was the natural successor to the throne, and his bloodline was the basis for him Zhu Shou to sit firmly on the dragon chair!

What about the status of the queen mother, heh, look at the queen mother of the Chenghua Dynasty and the Hongzhi Dynasty who have always been invisible people, you will know that without the approval of the emperor, there is no strong foreign family, the so-called queen mother, queen mother, and queen are just a title.

Without the Zhang family stirring up the wind and rain outside, the Queen Mother can't jump up in the inner palace!

"There is no Zhang family who is greedy for money and falls into the trap of Ning Fan, and tries his best to pry the queen mother, and one of the queen mother's own sons has become the emperor's inner palace wife, can he come up with such a trick? After this incident, can the emperor tolerate the Zhang family? ”

Shen Rui held Shen Zhou's arm and said, "I've thought about it repeatedly, uncle, this is the best chance, and it may be, the only chance." ”

Shen Zhou held him with his backhand, and said anxiously: "The emperor can't tolerate the Zhang family, it's the emperor's business, even if the emperor instructs you to do this, you don't want to do it!" Never forget, the Zhang family is the emperor's foreign family! If the Zhang family is moved, if something bad happens, the emperor will not be wrong, and you can only be wrong! ”

Shen Rui was slightly stunned.

He didn't think so, he didn't mind being a knife in Brother Shou's hands, a minister, how could he not be a knife?

But the sentence "lead to bad things" suddenly made him feel a chill down his spine.

Historically, Ning Fan also started an incident under the banner of the Queen Mother, so what happened to the Queen Mother, what happened to the Zhang family?

Wu Zongxing rushed to the imperial driver's personal expedition, but accidentally fell into the water on the way back and died not long after.

The Queen Mother participated in the determination of the next emperor, and Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, also went to Huguang with Yiying to pick up Jiajing.

Yes, Jiajing does not wait to see Empress Dowager Zhang, and respects his biological mother, Empress Dowager Jiang. Empress Dowager Zhang lived aggrieved in the harem, but she also lived to Jiajing for twenty years!

The Zhang family outside the palace was still in the Jiajing Dynasty for ten years, Jiajing was thrown into prison for 12 years, Zhang Heling died in prison, and Zhang Yanling was beheaded in Xishi five years after the death of Empress Dowager Zhang and 25 years after Jiajing.

They didn't get a good end, but this bad end was not brought to them by Wu Zong, they still lived for many years!

And Wu Zong, who is skilled in bows and horses, can run to kill the enemy in front of the Xuanfu formation, and cut a Tartar with a real knife and a real gun, will he be seriously ill and die because of a fall into the water that was quickly rescued?

Zhang Jiaming knew that after Wuzong cleaned up King Ning, after the holy car returned to Beijing, he would inevitably liquidate a group of people, would he sit back and wait to die?

No, no, history doesn't say that the Queen Mother wanted to adopt the son of Ning Fan, and there is no one in the wild history...... At that time, the Zhang family was not forced into a desperate situation.

In the end, Wuzong is the son of the Queen Mother......

But what if your own son is disobedient?

If her own son returns to Beijing and is going to attack her mother's family, if she is cut off from the outside world and grounded in the inner palace, she can only be at the mercy of others, will she ...... Will......

No, no, her hand won't be stretched out that long, and Wu Zong was still out patrolling at that time......

It was precisely because she was patrolling outside that she was not suspicious......?

Wu Zong...... Is it really her own? Zheng Wang's Fallacy Case......

Shen Rui's mind was chaotic, and his head was splitting.

Over there, Shen Zhou's eyes were already a little red, "Brother Rui, your uncle knows your heart." But Brother Luo's ......"

His face twisted in pain, but he still said, "Luo Ge'er's death is also my fault. The Zhou family lost a life, the Qiao family, I also cleared up. The Zhang family is hateful, but if revenge will implicate you, then it must not! ”

"I've missed it once, and I can't miss it again." He grabbed Shen Rui's arm tightly and said very solemnly: "The deceased is gone, this revenge will be stopped, don't mention it again in the future." ”

Shen Ruiwan didn't expect Shen Zhou to say this, so he couldn't help but be moved, and called "Second Uncle" lightly.

After the third master was shocked, he was also a little relieved, leaned over, and patted Shen Rui on the shoulder.

"This is not a lie. There is no need to persuade me. Shen Zhou's eyes were resolute, "From now on, you just have to do things according to the most suitable method and use the most suitable person to do things, and you don't have to think about any grudges." As long as you live well, the Shen family is good, and Da Ming is good, it is better than any revenge! ”

Shen Rui's eyes couldn't help but redden, clenched his fists tightly, and only answered after a while.

Shen Zhou was relieved, took a few deep breaths, and exhaled slowly, with some smiles on his face.

"There is another matter, which I have been thinking about for a long time, so I simply mentioned it today." He said, "The fourth brother (the son of the third master) is about to try the boy, and Brother Xiao Nan will be in the past two years......"

Brother Xiao Nan wants to take the imperial examination, he must have a background, Shen Rui only said that Shen Zhou finally figured it out, and wanted to record Brother Xiao Nan in his name, and nodded busily.

I didn't want to, but I heard Shen Zhou say: "I want to record Brother Ling'er in the name of the eldest grandfather, and in the future, Brother Xiao Nan will also have two rooms for the eldest grandfather and the second grandfather." ”

Seeing that the two wanted to talk, Shen Zhou waved his hand again and again, and hurriedly said, "I won't pass the step-heir." Don't want Brother Rui or the fourth brother to be both. ”

He looked bitter, "I was destined to commit a bad star, and God punished me, so I called Brother Luo'er, Brother Jue, and Brother Ling to die one after another, and I caused them to be affected." It's me who is unfilial and unrighteous first, and I don't deserve to be sent to my children and grandchildren. I can't hurt anyone anymore. ”

Thinking of the old years, the third master's mood fluctuated, and there were tears hidden in the corners of his eyes.

Shen Rui had heard Shen Zhou say these words once before Shen Lingling, and he knew that Shen Zhou was sincere, and after so many years, he still hadn't changed his mind, and he couldn't help but sigh a long sigh.

Shen Zhou said slowly: "After a hundred years, my furniture will be divided into four parts, one for Brother Rui, one for Brother Rui, one for Brother Xiaonan, and one for Brother Xiaonan, you can help me take it back to Songjiang and give Brother Jue's step-child, Brother Xiaozhang." Sort of, my cousin has a little heart......"

He stared at Shen Rui, "Brother Rui, this hatred, really expose it." Look at me, and you will know that there is cause and effect in the world. If the Zhang family is evil, there will be evil retribution, and there will be heavenly punishment. The Shen family only grows their own good causes. The Shen family is only a loyal minister, and only does things that benefit the Ming Dynasty and the people! ”
