In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, there were feudal clans who oppressed the people, the victims fled to the capital, Xiyuan to work for relief, and then there was a new dynasty that was about to change the yuan, and the little emperor accepted the four Yi for the first time to come to the dynasty and many other major events attracted the attention of the people in the capital.

Although snatching the dowry of a crazy girl is cold, but in a huge capital, not to mention the brothers fighting for property, it is not a new thing for father and son to turn against each other and draw swords.

And in the farce of the Qiao family, the two protagonists have already divided the sister-in-law's dowry and solved the matter, and there is no excitement to watch.

But the idlers in the market seem to be particularly interested in the Qiao family, and many grievances between the Shen and Qiao families are still being revealed.

For example, in the case of Master Qiao's greed for ink, the Shen family spent money to rescue him, but he was blamed by Mrs. Qiao for not keeping her official position; The Qiao family wants to continue the marriage with the Shen family, but they dislike that Sister Yu is a concubine and refuses to let her grandson marry, while the Qiao family's generation only has concubines, but they want to marry Shen Luo, the only son of the Shen family, and so on, true or false.

Even "After Qiao's went crazy, Shen Zhou couldn't bear to divorce his wife, so he wronged the daughter of Jinshi as a concubine, and was ready to wait for his wife to be a hundred years later before straightening the concubine's room" Such nonsense and stupidity have been spread.

It looks like the Shen family is letting out a rumor to wash their name.

And the Shen family itself closed the door, ignoring the rumors from the outside world at all, and even the relatives who often went out in the Shen family's guest house did not go out, as if they were waiting for the New Year at home with peace of mind, which also made the gossip incomprehensible.

In fact, the third master, Shen Run and Shen Rui, had already invited Shen Li, Shen Jin, Shen Lian, and Shen Quan to discuss in one place, and the affairs of the Qiao family could be constantly mentioned, because someone wanted to confuse the public and deliberately muddy this pool.

The first thing they thought of was the methods of the He family.

Although the Qiao family is despicable and despicable, it is equally disgusting to step on Qiao and praise Shen like this.

Especially the loss of Shen Zhou's private morality did not take long to suppress, and at this time, it was turned out again, and it was clearly to destroy the reputation of the Shen family in Shilin.

But now the He family can't be killed by relying on the only evidence in hand, and they need to find another way.

"Qiao Er has to sell the shop in the spring." Shen Lian said.

Previously, Shen Lian had a layout for the Qiao family, and asked the Qiao family to stock up on a large number of goods for the New Year Festival and the Lantern Festival, almost draining the cash in their hands, and they were going to let their batch of goods rot in their hands, but the farce of the Qiao family made him not have to do it at all, after the reputation of the Qiao family was stinky, the Qiao family's shop was full of people every day, and the business plummeted.

Faced with such a dilemma, as long as someone clicked a few words in Qiao Er's ear, he was afraid that he would have to move out of the capital with his family.

"The academy has cleared all the Qiao family's children." The third old man said lightly.

Since the Shen Qiao family has turned their faces, the Tian family will naturally not continue to take in the children of the Qiao family, and there are no outstanding people among the juniors of the Qiao family, so they have all retired with the relatives and children of the Qiao family, such as Su Guisheng.

And with the prestige and status of Nancheng Academy, the scholars they invited out would generally not be accepted by the academies next to them.

The relatives of the Qiao family couldn't help but be angry, and they didn't dare to trouble the Tian family, so they all went to Qiao's house to make trouble.

Qiao Da and Qiao San themselves were angry because their son was dismissed, and their relatives were still mixed up, and the chickens and dogs were getting more and more uneasy every day.

Master Shen San doesn't need to find anyone to block the road of Qiao San's recovery, the affairs of the Qiao family are rumored to be like this, and whoever does not hide far away from the monarchs in the court has money, and no one is willing to do things for his family, for fear of being implicated and his reputation will be ruined.

"But even if Qiao Da and Qiao Er are forced out of the capital, Qiao San will not leave in order to wait for that recovery." The third master said in a deep voice, "Besides, even if someone has a heart to calculate the Shen family, even if the Qiao family is gone, those rumors will not stop." ”

Shen Jin frowned and said, "If something big happens now, it will attract the attention of the community, and these rumors will slowly disperse." ”

Shen Li said slowly: "I'm afraid it wasn't a big deal a year ago, and the Zhengdan Siyi came to the court to be more lively." Moreover, it depends on when Wang Shouren's side will be able to return to the court. ”

Thinking of Wang Shouren, everyone's spirits were lifted, this is a great victory, not to mention the master-apprentice relationship between Wang Shouren and Shen Rui, that is, Wang Shouren returned the innocence of the three sons of the Shen family, so that everyone present was grateful to him and looked forward to his achievements.

This is the first victory in the war since the little emperor ascended the throne, the news announced by the imperial court to the outside world, these water bandits are colluding with the Japanese to rob Songjiang, the imperial court's army has all exterminated the water bandits, recaptured the captured people, has been a shot in the arm for the people who have been plagued by the Japanese and rarely succeeded in resisting the Japanese, the market must be lively and lively for a long time, and the storyteller in the various teahouses and restaurants will also compile a new book and say that it has been a few months.

And after the Taihu Lake bandit suppression war is over, I am afraid that the case will also be quickly concluded.

"The letter has been followed, and the Lu family is about to bring people into Beijing." Shen Ruidao. "Let's make the He family proud for a few days."

With the information collected by Du Laoba, coupled with the relatives of the He family brought by Lu Sanlang, the He family will be defeated in this case.

However, the rumors of the Qiao family did not turn into killing the Shen family as expected by the Shen family, but led to a direction that no one expected.

Someone began to spread the word about how Shen Zhou's wife Qiao was crazy, which was more in line with the gossip of the people, and it quickly spread - that Qiao was lost in his mind and went crazy because he missed his son who died young.

Then someone mentioned that Shen Luo's fall from the horse was dragged down by Qiao Yongde, the son of Master Qiao.

After that, some people clearly said that Qiao Yongde was taught a lesson for offending Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang, for his mean words in the restaurant, but it was Shen Luo who prevented the disaster for him.

The people are just gossiping after tea and dinner, but when it reaches the ears of the monarchs of the court, it is different.

Many imperial historians are ready to move, ready to exercise their right to "hear about things" and vigorously participate in Zhang Yanling's book. The first to bear the brunt is Liu Yu, the imperial historian who is specifically staring at the Zhang family.

Bisheng, the nephew of Mrs. Jin Qi, who was impeached by Liu Yu and changed from Jinyi Wei Qianhu to Xiaoqi, also rushed to beg for reinstatement at the end of the year, originally thinking of the happy event of changing the yuan, and the little emperor raised his hand and he continued to be a thousand households.

But it was in Liu Yu's hands, and Liu Yu once again threw out the argument of "once the fortunate door is opened, the group will advance in vain", fiercely refuting Jin Qi and other fortunate people, and then led to Zhang Yanling, after impeaching him for killing Zhongliang.

The only heir of the Shen family died unexpectedly, and everyone still has great sympathy. "There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest", the two generations of the Shen family in Jingtang, the third grandfather and Shen Cang's father and son are known to be famous, but they ended up with a bloodline decision, which is unbearable.

Shen Rui, the son of the step-clan, was helpless, and the sick and weak Shen Run's son was an eye-opener.

Although the fact that the person was harmed by Zhang Yanling is only rumored in the streets, it may not be true, but with Zhang Yanling's arrogant behavior, many people really believe it.

The Zhang family did not raise the imperial history for nothing, and soon the imperial history on behalf of the Zhang family came out to rebuke the rumors and cause trouble with evil intentions.

Seeing that the New Year is coming, there is still a lot of quarrel in the court, but the reaction of the little emperor is unexpected, on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, there are more granges in Ningjin, Longping, Nangong, Xinhe and other counties as the Renshou Palace Imperial Village.

Renshou Palace was originally the residence of the Empress Dowager Zhou, because the two emperors of Chenghua and Hongzhi were filial piety, Renshou Palace was also renovated very well, and it was the best place among the palace rooms in the Forbidden City.

After Zhou's death, the place was empty.

When Emperor Hongzhi was funeral, Empress Zhang was promoted to the queen mother, and the palace should have been moved, and Renshou Palace was the first choice, but where was Empress Zhang willing to live in the palace where the Zhou family had lived for many years, so in the name of "filial piety", the Empress Dowager Wang, who did not have to move the palace, entered the master.

At that time, Mrs. Jin regretted for a long time, such a good place was given to others, but she also knew her daughter's temper, and it was just enough to talk twice.

As early as the Hongzhi period, the Hongzhi Emperor added the imperial village to his grandmother the Empress Dowager Zhou.

With this precedent, the little emperor followed his father's example and added the imperial village to his grandmother, the queen mother, and the hundred officials could not say anything.

It's just that now the court is quarreling over the affairs of the Zhang family, and the little emperor doesn't express his position but adds Huangzhuang to his grandmother, which can't help but make people think deeply, and the impeachment is even hotter for a while.

In the midst of a wave of noise, the Chinese New Year's Eve of the eighteenth year of Hongzhi came.

*

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Lu Sanlang had a long life, and arrived at the Tongzhou Wharf with many servants and cages, and Shen Rui and Shen Quan personally went over to greet them.

After a few years, Lu Saburo has grown a short beard and is more calm in his dress, not at all like the frivolous and prodigal young man Shen Rui saw at the beginning.

"Brother Lu has worked hard all the way! It's all mine, no, let the third brother not be reunited for the New Year. Shen Rui said apologetically after seeing the salute.

Although Lu Sanlang was dressed up a lot, he was still hearty when he opened his mouth, "When did Brother Rui be so polite!" What is this? He smiled again, "In previous years, it was common to transport grain to the north, and it was common to spend the New Year outside. ”

The people on the dock are not the place to talk, and the two sides got into the carriage and went home together after a few simple greetings.

The carriage went out for a long time, and Lu Sanlang lifted the curtain of the car to see that there was no one near him, and then lowered his voice and said to Shen Rui: "When I got off the boat, I gagged people and tied my hands and feet and put them in the box." ”

Shen Rui knew that he was in case of being seen by the He family, so he hurriedly claimed to thank him for his hard work.

Lu Sanlang waved his hand and said: "Brother Rui really don't be so polite, and I don't hide it from you, I want you to know the current situation of the Lu family, I am not only helping you, but also helping my Lu family themselves." ”

Shen Rui said: "Now that there is this evidence, the He family can't make waves, and if the He family and the Zhang family are convicted, the Lu and Shen families will be stable." ”

Lu Saburo sighed: "I hope so." ”

He has another layer of hidden worries, the Lu family now has no high-ranking officials in the court, and it was all up to the Shen family to maneuver in Beijing, but now the officials of Shen Zhou have been lost by the He family, He Dongsheng is still in the position of a waiter, if the officials protect each other, the Shen family may deal with it?

This time, when he went north, he also brought enough silver, although he had to do his best to help the Shen family, he also had to take some of his own roads in case of emergency.

It was not easy to discuss carefully on the road, so the two only chatted a few words about the recent situation in Songjiang, and soon entered the capital and arrived at Shen Mansion.

After Lu Sanlang went everywhere to salute, he was invited into the outer study, and a box had already been sent in.

Changshou personally opened the box, and sure enough, there was a man who was tied up and stuffed inside, because this person should be burly, and he was forcibly stuffed in the box, and his posture was quite weird.

Changshou motioned to the two henchmen to go over and get the person out of the box.

This person is really quite tall and strong, but there is no fierceness on his face, but he looks at Lu Saburo with some cringe and longevity.

Changshou returned to Shen Rui's side and whispered: "For fear of being bitten back in court with an injury, I rewarded him with more than a dozen plum blossoms according to the second master's method." ”

Shen Rui nodded, it was strange that he had such a frightened look, but he was a little satisfied with longevity in his heart, which was much stronger than Du Laoba's simple and crude torture methods, which was enough to be in charge alone.

Because he had already been asked, Lu Sanlang's confession was readily available, and Shen Rui didn't need to ask again, so he sat down with Lu Sanlang and took the confession to take a closer look.

In this confession, this He Yong and He Mian are in a similar situation, they are also poor, powerful, and have two hands, and they are single, and they have no family to drag down, so they have become He Nansheng's thug-style characters.

It's just that this He Yong is not as loyal as He Mian, but he values silver money more, so he doesn't know how important He Nansheng is. But it was precisely because of his love of money that he was bought by He Yansheng on the other side of the He family, under the guise of He Nansheng, but he was doing things for He Yansheng.

According to He Yong, he often runs the business in Guangzhou and makes a lot of money.

As early as the beginning of the year, He Yansheng promised a sum of money and instructed He Yong that if He Nansheng's steward He Xiang arranged for him to "guard" Shen Zhu, the ninth master of the Shen family's third room, he would secretly monitor the matter, and it was best to use Shen Zhu's words to listen to the situation of the Shen family's rooms, and then take the opportunity to enter the Shen family with Shen Zhu to remember the terrain everywhere.

Before the Japanese went ashore, He Yansheng suddenly asked He Yong to take a small car to pick up people at the west corner gate of the Shen family's house, and after a while at the west corner gate, several Shen family members came out carrying bags of different sizes, some of the bags were exposed with vegetables and vegetables, and some were exposed with pig's feet, which was obviously under the kitchen.

The car walked all the way, passing by a grain, rice, fresh and vegetable grocery shop, and a servant of the Shen family got out of the car, and when he got out of the city and arrived at the designated place, He Yong was left alone to catch the car, and He Yansheng, who was wearing civilian clothes, came to pick it up in person with two cronies.

Among the pockets of vegetables and pork, there was a living person.

He Yong followed Shen Zhu around the Shen family for a long time, and he recognized this person, it was Shen Dong, the eldest grandson of the Shen family.

The fifteen-year-old boy turned pale, his eyes were closed, and he fell into a coma.

The people brought by He Yansheng changed Shen Dong's clothes, and wiped something on his face, making his face even more terrifying, as if he was terminally ill.

He Yansheng and the others changed cars and went to the south post road, and He Yong took the silver and rushed back to the city with a new task.

When the widow went ashore, He Yong led Shen Zhu over according to He Yansheng's instructions, and coerced him to snatch many of the Shen family's houses clean, but according to He Xiang's instructions, he left the sect room and the five rooms untouched - in case of He Nansheng's follow-up.

Shen Rui put down his confession and glanced at Lu Sanlang, in this case, the biggest trouble of the Shen family is that Shen Zhu is actually a feudal lord, Shen Rui has made Shen Zhu a fool who was coaxed by the feudal king, but I don't know what Shen Zhu can confess in the edict prison.

And this confession took out Shen Zhu in its entirety, it was calculated and coerced, with this confession, no matter what Shen Zhu confessed in prison, he could be "tortured into a confession".

Shen Rui turned to He Yong again and stared at him a few times, his gaze was not sharp, but he Yong shrank his neck in fright. didn't ask him anything, Shen Rui directly ordered Changshou to guard the people, and after the year, there was a Si Yamen who opened the seal and sent it immediately.

After sending everyone away, Shen Rui got up and waved at Lu Sanlang, and said, "Thank you Third Brother Lu for saving me with righteousness, and thank you Third Brother Lu for thinking carefully and giving this confession to the Shen family." ”

They are all smart people, and they don't need to say anything, Lu Sanlang hurriedly got up to avoid not being polite to him, and said, "Brother Rui, what are you doing!" He smiled again: "I still have something to ask for, if Rui Ge'er is like this, I won't be able to open my mouth." ”

Shen Rui was no longer polite, and invited Lu Sanlang to sit again, and Lu Sanlang mentioned that the Lu family is very sad now, and the Zhang family is like a mad dog to catch and bite whom.

When the Zhang family was imprisoned, they asked the Lu family to help them speak, but it was not easy for the Lu family to protect themselves, where could they save them, and they were sure to go to the domain, wouldn't it mean that they were accomplices and were looking for a dead end.

The Zhang family felt that the Lu family disregarded the same relationship, and then gave birth to the idea of "I can't get better, don't think about it", and wanted to drag the Lu family on their backs, and kept climbing the Lu family in the Jinyi Prison.

Thanks to the Lu family, they left evidence when they realized that something was wrong, and they grabbed the head and told Lord Qincha, and it was also meritorious to cooperate in solving the case, but I was afraid that they would really be implicated.

Lu Sanlang said: "This time I went north, on the way I heard about the victims in Shanxi, in the middle of winter, I was afraid that the disaster relief would not be necessary, so the patriarch ordered me to buy some along the way, and wanted to ask Bachelor Yang to go in here and talk about the loyalty of the Lu family." ”

This is thinking that Shen Rui's father-in-law, Yang Tinghe, is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and he will directly send his good deeds to heaven, if he solves the urgent need of the imperial court, he can get the emperor's golden mouth and jade words "good family", and he will not be afraid of the Zhang family.

But I didn't know that this matter didn't need Yang Tinghe at all, Shen Rui could do it himself.

Shen Rui was also happy after hearing this, the disaster relief is indeed a lack of cotton clothes and quilts, because of the September earthquake, many victims came out when the weather was not cold, and their clothes were meager.

The residence of the victims can be in Xiyuan, the old day elephant square and other places, and the rations for disaster relief are also allocated by the household department, but this cotton clothes are not ready-made - the military needs of the military department have ready-made cotton jackets, but they are to supply the border soldiers, who dares to open this mouth?

And even if you find a tailor's shop, you can't catch up, and this will be a huge amount of silver.

It was still the sons and daughters of the nobles who collected the old cotton clothes of the servants in their own houses and even in the grange, and also bought some cotton clothes of the people all over the capital, and sent them to the victims to keep out the cold temporarily.

The Lu family's batch of cotton clothes can be described as timely rain, and the Lu family is not from the capital, so there is no need to worry about the crime of inviting people to buy people's hearts, this move will definitely be praised by the little emperor.

Shen Rui didn't pretend to think about it and other pretentious acts, and said bluntly: "This matter is very good, Third Brother Lu will hand it over to me, and I will do it after the New Year." ”

Lu Sanlang was overjoyed and turned to get up and thank Shen Ruilai, Shen Rui couldn't help but smile and said: "Since the third brother let me not be polite, how can I be polite." ”

Lu Saburo laughed, feeling closer and closer in his heart.

*

This Chinese New Year's Eve, although the Shen family is still in filial piety and cannot feast and play for fun, it is still extremely lively.

In previous years, there were only a few people in the family, but this year there were Shen Lian, Shen Quan, and Lu Sanlang, and Shen Jin was also called by the Xu family to celebrate the New Year together, and Shen Zhou, who had not shown up, also appeared at the Chinese New Year's Eve reunion banquet.

In fact, in Shen Jin's heart, he wanted to go to Baoding to celebrate the New Year with Aunt Zheng, for many years, for the first time, the mother and son were able to celebrate the New Year together, but they also knew that the etiquette was inconsistent, he offended Li Ge Lao because of marriage, and now it is difficult to go to Baoding every step of the way, and the movement in Baoding is too big, once it is known by the imperial history, I am afraid that I will be involved in a book.

I don't know if the Xu family is also out of this consideration, afraid that he will make a mistake, so he called him over for the New Year. The Xu family is an aunt, and when the elders call, Shen Jin naturally wants to obey.

There are two tables at the night table, Shen Zhou, Shen Run, Shen Lian, Shen Quan, Shen Jin, Shen Rui and Lu Sanlang have a table, and the screen is full of Xu's, Tian's, and He's two children, Brother Xiaonan, and one table.

Although there is no wine and meat food, vegetarian food is also very rich, where can the two children sit still, three or two mouthfuls are full, then one of them holds a small bamboo sword brought up by Lu Saburo from the south, and happily runs around inside and outside the screen, playing and laughing loudly, adding countless fun.

Even Shen Zhou, who had been dull and silent, also had a long-lost smile on his face.

The Shen family is inconvenient to set off fireworks, but there are many fireworks in the neighborhood, Xu couldn't bear to let the two children lose the fun, so they asked someone to dress the two children warmly, and the nurse carried them to the door to watch the fireworks on the street for a while.

It was late at night, and the table was removed, because they had to keep a New Year's watch in one place, and everyone had not dispersed.

The third old man, who has always been frail, has been placed on the warm kang near the window, and there are two little people beside him, shrunk back, little by little, like chickens eating rice, and soon fell asleep, and everyone couldn't help but be happy when they looked at them.

Dim sum tea backgammon are put up, but no one goes to play, because of Lu Saburo's presence, he can be good-spoken, and there is a belly of strange things to tell from all over the north and south, everyone talks about it, but it is not boring.

As soon as the time passed, Tian was busy confessing to Xu, so that people helped the third master and hugged the fourth brother back to the room first, for fear that the third master would break his body by staying up late.

And they all went to rest in peace.

Shen Jin and Shen Quan were all arranged in Shen Rui's courtyard, but Shen Rui was called over by Shen Zhou.

The candle flame was beating in the study, and Shen Zhou, who had never recovered from his body, stayed up all night, and his face showed a little defeat.

Shen Rui was also a little tired, but he still cheered up and sat squarely opposite Shen Zhou, waiting for him to speak first.

Shen Zhouzai looked at Shen Rui carefully a few times, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable, and he suddenly sighed after a long time: "Brother Rui, you hate me." ”

Shen Rui was a little surprised, he didn't want Shen Zhou to say it so bluntly, in his impression, this person had always been emotionally unexposed, far less true than Shen Cang and Shen Run.

When Shen Ling passed away, if He hadn't asked like that when he cremated Shen Ling, Shen Zhou would definitely not have said what was in his heart.

Hate? No, Shen Rui doesn't hate.

Ever since he knew that it was Shen Zhou who repented of marrying Sun and harmed Shen Yuan's scum, his feelings for Shen Zhou were disgusted.

And there are all kinds of Qiao's family, which is harmful to Shen Jue, and it is just that the disgust deepens.

There is no hatred, because it has never been a stranger, and there is no emotion at all.

"Second Uncle thinks too much." Shen Rui shook his head and said lightly.

Shen Zhou saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, but his mouth was bitter, "It's me......" He only felt that his lips and teeth were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he spoke with difficulty, "It's me who can't live with Min Niang." ”

Shen Rui's expression was even colder, "Second uncle shouldn't talk about this with his nephew." It's late at night, so the second uncle settled it earlier. Then he got up and left.

"Regore." Shen Zhou called him and sighed, "I don't want to excuse myself, the fault of the original incident was not the Qiao family, it was my unfilial piety and injustice." ”

Although Shen Rui was extremely disgusted with the Qiao family, if Shen Zhou put all the blame on the Qiao family, he would also look down on Shen Zhou very much.

Fortunately, Shen Zhou was responsible, and Shen Rui's face was a little pale, and he still stared at him coldly.

Shen Zhou sighed: "These days, I have figured out all the things in the past, and when I say it today, I am not asking for forgiveness. Back then, you already know everything about the old things, and I should have an explanation. ”

Shen Rui replied lightly: "The second uncle doesn't have much to 'explain', everyone has their own fate, everyone has their own life, and the second uncle doesn't have to suffer himself." ”

Shen Zhou was lukewarmly scolded back again, but he couldn't say anything more, only smiled bitterly, and muttered to himself for a while: "It's really like a dream." ”

Shen Ruishi didn't want to talk to him anymore about this kind of meaningless nonsense, the Shen family still had a lot to do at the moment, and where there was time to reminisce about the past and sad autumn, it was better to make up for sleep.

He couldn't help it anymore, and said directly: "Now that I've woken up from a dream, I don't know if the second uncle has any plans." Now that the case of Tongwei is about to be concluded, I don't know where the Shen family will go. The He family is aggressive, and the Shen family may be an abyss if they take a step back, can the second uncle have a plan in his heart? ”

Shen Zhou was stunned by his question, and seemed to be a little stunned and couldn't come back to his senses.

Shen Rui became more and more angry, and it was strange that he was easily impeached from the wine table of the prince of the country, this is a person who has not succeeded!

He got up and saluted, "Then the second uncle thinks first, the nephew has retired." ”

He walked to the door of the study, pushed open the door, and heard Shen Zhou say behind his back: "Brother Rui, tomorrow bring me all your recent work." ”

Shen Rui was stunned again, frowned slightly, and turned to look at Shen Zhou, this Guozi Priest Wine Master, this is to tutor him in his homework?

I only heard Shen Zhou say: "I'm afraid I won't be able to help with everything at home." This time I returned to Beijing in embarrassment, and there was a turmoil in the Qiao family, and the old friends in Beijing were afraid that they couldn't avoid it. All I can do now is read a few more articles and help you. ”

Shen Rui was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay." Thank you, Second Uncle. ”

Although the third master Shen Run's knowledge is also good, he is a literati and elegant person, he has never ended, and the eight stocks of Shiwen are also average.

On the other hand, Shen Zhou is different, he was born as a serious second-class jinshi, he has been in the Hanlin Academy before, and then he made the Guozi Priest Wine, which can be said to be far better than Shen Run's in the professional field of Bagu Shiwen.

Although his father-in-law Yang Tinghe often gives him guidance when he reads articles, Shen Zhou is more convenient in the end.

And although Shen Rui doesn't have much affection for Shen Zhou, as a member of the Shen family, he still hopes that Shen Zhou can cheer up, and it is better to give him something to do than to think about it in the future.

When Shen Zhou saw that Shen Rui agreed, he unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the expression on his face became relaxed.

Over the years, Shen Rui really took all the articles to Shen Zhou for review, and Shen Zhou was also very patient to analyze Shen Rui's deficiencies one by one, and Shen Rui's articles were rated as great benefits by Yang Tinghe in a few months, and Shen Zhou also began to enlighten the fourth brother and Xiao Nan. That's for later.

*

On the first day of the first lunar month, the Ming Dynasty officially changed its name to Zhengde.

The little emperor successively served the first hall, the Fengci hall, the empress dowager, the empress dowager's palace, and the first emperor after several feasts, and received five bows and three kowtows from the civil and military ministers and the envoys of the Siyi Dynasty in the Fengtian Palace.

However, the queen mother and the queen mother of the harem exempted the women from congratulating, but there were many discussions among the foreign women. Recently, Chao Shang is attacking the Zhang family more violently.

On the second day of the first month, after the little emperor accepted the regular service of the civil and military ministers in Fengtianmen, he said that he would not be in the palace from now until the fifteenth, and gave the civil and military ministers ten days off on the Yuan Festival.

Immediately, the Ministry of Rites immediately played the invitation, although the Daxing Emperor has finished the mountain mausoleum, but the subjects are still suitable, the emperor is sincere and filial, please order not to put the lamp for fun.

The little emperor said that it was right not to put lights in the palace, and the people were happy once a year, so it was not limited.

After the people of the capital learned the news, they all secretly scolded the Ministry of Rites for lacking morality, and praised the little emperor for being both filial and sympathetic to the people. Although the emperor was young, his popularity among the people was high for a while.

Soon, on the sixth day of the first lunar month, the prestige of the little emperor reached its peak again.

Wang Shouren and Zhang Yong's team of suppressing bandits in Taihu Lake won a complete victory, and the squad returned to the dynasty, destroying a total of 17 Taihu Lake water villages, beheading nearly 2,000 bandits, capturing more than 5,000 bandits and bandits and fishermen, and rescuing 278 captives in Songjiang.

The whole capital is boiling, although it is just a bandit, listen to the number of people to know how fierce this bandit is, this is also the first victory of the Zhengde Dynasty, a good start, what a good sign.

The Shen family was also immersed in joy, not only because of Wang Shouren's victory, but also because Wang Shouren sent news that he had grabbed two of King Ning's pawns from the Taihu bandit Kou Shui Village, both of whom had something to do with the He family.

(End of chapter)
