Kaifeng Mansion, Yanjin County, Diting Station

"When I came out, the demons and monsters all jumped out of the fold, and the owner said that there was also an excerpt to impeach the second master. It's just that I left in a hurry, and I didn't wait for someone behind, and someone would continue to deliver the letter. The owners have all arranged, take turns to ride quickly, and never delay. ”

Although he knew that Shen Rui had sent someone to guard the outside, Wang Stick still subconsciously looked around vigilantly, and gestured to ask Shen Rui to lean over and listen.

His voice was extremely low, "The owner said that the matter of the sect and the clan, but he stepped on the mud pit with his feet, so that the second master would think twice, and would rather not do it than dirty his own house." ”

Shen Rui couldn't help but look solemn.

Zhang Hui's sentence couldn't be clearer, and he almost didn't name names.

asked someone to carry away the exhausted Wang stick to rest, and Shen Rui sat quietly in the room for a long time before calling He Taizhi and his staff Mr. Xie.

He lowered his voice and told the story.

He Taizhi jumped like thunder when he boarded, thinking about being in the post station, he forced his voice, gritted his teeth and scolded: "It must be Zhang Wei, this rabbit cub!" When Lao Tzu goes back to Beijing, he will kill this grandson! ”

Shen Rui's anger and depression were even worse than He Taizhi's, because he had worried about whether he would fall to King Ning when Zhang Wei did not return to Jiangxi many years ago to guard filial piety.

It's just that Zhang Wei hasn't done anything over the years, and Shen Rui is busy with local construction, so he doesn't have time to pay too much attention to Zhang Wei.

I never thought that Ning Fan would be able to use such a trick at such a time!

Previously, because of Shen Rui's operation, no one in the court was embarrassed to brazenly praise the little prince of Ningfu, Taimiao Sixiang. The old foxes in the court and China can also see the emperor's attitude, and they will not come out.

In this way, Shen Li's Jingtang "Shangshu" of such a weight is quite conspicuous, and those who have been bought off and pretended to be confused see such a "leader", so they want to rush up and quickly follow the book to support the little prince of Ningfu.

"The emperor must be angry." He Taizhi and Brother Shou have also been together for many years, and they know Brother Shou's temper very well. "The emperor knows what Sixth Brother Li is like, so he won't be angry, right? Second Brother Zhang and Lord Liu (Liu Zhong) will definitely speak for Sixth Brother Li. At best...... It's ......"

He didn't know if he was saying this to comfort Shen Rui or to comfort himself.

Shen Rui patted him on the shoulder and didn't speak.

Mr. Xie looked at Shen Rui and said in a deep voice: "Ning Fan's move is also attacking adults. This matter is bound to affect the layout of adults in Henan. The emperor will not disbelieve the lord, but the crowd is full of gold and bones, and the lord must now tear up the matter of the clan and understand it. ”

It is worthy of being a staff member who has always been by the side of the Ministry of Rites, and he really knows about the affairs of the clan.

Shen Rui sighed in his heart. Mr. Xie's words hit the bottom of his heart.

The previous impeachment of Shen Rui by the court was that he acted vainly against the Zhao Domain, which caused the instability of the Zong Domain.

And at this time, it must be said that he is in collusion with Zhao Fu, which means "Taimiao Sixiang".

Shen Rui's original arrangements were to build momentum for the little prince of Ningfu in Beijing.

The prince of Zhao is talented and has "popularity", and because of the historical reason that the first king of Zhao had plotted to seize the heir, as long as Brother Shou or the Xuanmiao line is still in power, it is impossible for the Zhao family to be selected as the Taimiao Sixiang.

Therefore, if it comes to poking King Ning's lung tubes and stirring up the yellow "Taimiao Sixiang", Zhao Wang Shizi is really a safe and effective option.

In fact, in the deepest part of Shen Rui's heart, because he is familiar with the future historical trend, he has not thought of Zhu Houyu, the son of King Zhao, who is keen on education and loves the people, as an alternative to Jiajing Zhu Houyu.

Of course, bloodline is always a big problem.

However, when the Xuanmiao family is not in place, when Zhu Houyu has the potential to be a "virtuous monarch", when everyone from Shilin to the market knows that Zhao Wang Shizi is diligent in studying and reading and cherishing the people, under the huge aura of "having both ability and political integrity" and "similar filial piety temple", the cabinet bigwigs will also consider one or two.

However, now, if someone deliberately pushes him Shen Hengyun to the conspirators and careerists, no matter whether the bigwigs in the DPRK and the emperor believe it or not, as long as the seeds of doubt are planted, they will accumulate over time, and in the end, not only will he be ruined, but Zhao Wangfu will not be spared.

And in the future, if the name of Zhengde can really only be used for sixteen years, it will be Jiajing or someone else who will be on the throne at that time, and turn over the old accounts, and it may be the entire Shen family that will be destroyed.

Shen Rui stood up and solemnly bowed to Mr. Xie and He Taiyi, "Rui has something to ask Mr. and Zhong'an." ”

Panicked, the two hurriedly got up and returned the salute, He Taizhi was even more uneasy, because of his relatives, the Shen family called him Brother Tai, and when did he call him so solemn.

"If the second brother has anything to do directly, it is like this, and it is scary." He Taizhi hurriedly said.

Mr. Xie also said: "My lord's words are serious. ”

Shen Rui first said to Mr. Xie: "I want to ask Mr. to go to Huaiqing Mansion to meet the kings of Fanchang and Lujiang County." ”

Before King Zheng's lineage, there were many county kings who were childless, and the people were not prosperous, and now the remaining Dongyuan county kings who sought the heir of King Zheng were the two county kings of Fanchang and Lujiang.

This Dongyuan County King Zhu Youwei is the eldest son of the fourth son of the second generation of Zheng King Zhu Qi Qi.

And today's Fanchang and Lujiang county kings are the ninth son and tenth son of Zhu Qiqi respectively.

is also a side branch, the two uncles did not have the turn of Chengjue, but let the nephew run to invite Chengjue first, if he was convinced, it would be strange.

What's more, now that it is called a nephew to toss, the title of King Zheng is gone.

"The old man went to collect the case of the Dongyuan County Palace, and persuaded Fanchang and Lujiang to cooperate with disaster relief and Qingzhang." Mr. Xie twisted his beard and said, "It is impossible to restore the prince of Zheng, but in the final analysis, fighting for this prince is just fighting for a Lumi Wangzhuang, and when the time comes, the emperor will give them the confiscated grange, wouldn't it be affordable and decent." ”

Tian Feng and Wan Dongjiang have sent the news from Huaiqing Mansion, and Dongyuan failed to inherit the title because of the regulations of the clan, so he hated Shen Rui, and spread rumors to slander Shen Rui.

Mr. Xie wanted to clean up Dongyuan a long time ago, but at that time, it was important to rush to Kaifeng a year ago, so he put it away first. At this moment, it happened to be a pot of stew.

The old gentleman looked at Shen Rui and said meaningfully: "'Chaozhong' is also happy to see a few more 'virtuous kings' in Henan." ”

Shen Rui nodded, that's exactly what he meant.

Praising King Zhao is "ulterior motives", but what about Henan being full of "virtuous kings"?

That is, it is not that he Shen Rui is ambitious, but that he has the ability, which is a great political achievement.

"Under the New Year's Festival, Mr. Labor is still running, and there are bandits in Huaiqing Mansion, which is a bit risky...... It's just that Brother Tai is young and inexperienced, and there are too few things I can promise to those two, so if I want to move them, I can only ask Mr. to come out. ”

Shen Rui said apologetically, "I want to ask Wang Stick to protect Mr. over, Tian Feng and Wan Dongjiang have been over there for some time, and they will be able to protect Mr. ”

Mr. Xie laughed and said: "My lord is too worried, although the old man is a literati, he has also walked some places, and this old bone can still withstand the wind and rain." ”

Shen Rui thanked him, and then said to He Taizhi: "Zhong'an, I want to work for you to go to Kaifeng as soon as possible and go to see King Zhou." ”

The current King of Zhou, Zhu Mu? One of the first vassal kings to write a letter in support of the Zong Domain's regulations, Gain, like the Zhao Domain, was also a good contest for the succession of the Zhou Domain.

Not long ago, when the Ministry of Rites rejected the Zheng Mansion side branch of the lord, it took out the case of the Zhou Fanshu in the thirteenth year of Hongzhi as an example-

The current eighth generation of Zhou King Zhu Mu? Father Juan? was set up as a son of the world, and the younger brothers who were also concubines below were all dissatisfied. With Juan? Several groups of people are entangled in their own ruffians, often fighting each other.

By the time the sixth generation of Zhou Wang Xue died, several people directly tore their faces, and the brawl escalated, alarming local officials, governors, etc. to judge the case.

However, before the trial comes out, Zhu An? and died violently.

The princess immediately went to the book, please set up the youngest eldest son Zhu Mu? Inheritance.

The princes of those concubines were simply mad, one of them invaded the princess, and the other went to "expose" the adultery of the princess, saying that "the concubine is not right, and her son cannot be heir"!

Later, he framed the king of Zhou as Zhu An? poisoning and so on.

At that time, Xiaomiao ordered the eunuch Wei Zhong and the waiter of the Criminal Department He Jian to investigate the case, arrested thousands of people, and found out the case.

Knowing the behavior of several people, Xiaomiao was furious, and demoted the relevant people to the rank of concubine, and imprisoned Fengyang.

Zhu Mu? Yu Hongzhi was only the king of Zhou in the fourteenth year, and at that time, he was only eight years old.

In the third year of Zhengde, the king of Zhou suddenly wrote to his brother-in-law to ask for the title, saying that he would be awarded the title of his brother by the descendants of the Ruyang royal mansion of the Zhou domain.

However, the Ministry of Rites found out that her mother was a music girl, and she did not give the title, not to mention, and checked the descendants of the Ruyang Palace, who were also heirlooms, so the title of that person was also revoked.

To say that King Zhou didn't mean it, Shen Rui categorically didn't believe it.

After the regulations of the Zong Fan came out, the King of Zhou was also actively supported, and when King Ning played the lawlessness of the Jiangxi Zong Domain, he also played the Zhou Mansion to Yang County Junyi Bin Wang Huan was drunk and lewd, and Wang Huan was dismissed as a citizen.

It can be seen that the interior of the Zhou Domain is not peaceful so far.

King Zhou, presumably he would be happy to see the government come forward to remove those branches that "don't know how to advance or retreat".

Presumably, he also hopes that his son can become the son of the world smoothly and inherit the title, so as not to suffer so many twists and turns like he and his father did at the beginning.

In this way, Shen Rui can "exchange" more things.

"You said that the emperor gave us the authority to 'act cheaply', which was originally to allow us to clean up the clans and feudal clans that caused trouble in places like Zhu Youxing, and this official, as a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, checked the 'peanuts and inheritances' of various prefectures, and asked for the title of prince of Zhou for the eldest son, these are all duties."

Shen Rui said, "Of course, if King Zhou can get the emperor's praise of 'Virtuous King', these things can also be smoother, especially if you invite Feng Shizi, this official report will also be decided by the Ministry of Rites, Zongren Mansion, and the emperor." ”

King Zhou wants a lot, and Shen Rui can afford it, so it is not as simple as cooperating with Qingzhang and disaster relief.

You have to keep up with King Zhao.

He Taizhi also listened to Li Qi's analysis of the feudal domains, nodded again and again, and said, "Second brother, don't worry, I will do it." ”

"I wrote a letter to Master Ma Bingran, and if you have anything, you will go to him." Shen Ruidao.

Ma Bingran initially participated in politics in Henan, and was later transferred to Shandong to be promoted to the political envoy of Youbu, who worked with Shen Rui for a period of time, and was transferred back to Henan this year as the political envoy of Zuobu.

When Ma Bingran was in Shandong, because Zuo's participation in politics was Shen Li, and Zuo Bu's political envoy was Yuan Qin, who was good friends with Shen Li, he had no door and no faction, so he naturally became good friends with these two.

And Shen Rui's political achievements in Dengzhou at that time were really shining, and Ma Bingran was also a good friend, and later Shen Rui was promoted to Shandong Right to participate in politics, and the two also cooperated happily.

This time Shen Rui also came to Henan, the two sides have already passed several letters, and reached a consensus on many policies, and Ma Bingran is looking forward to Shen Rui's arrival as soon as possible.

He Taizhi nodded in response, and asked again: "When Kaifeng is finished, I will go to Junzhou and Nanyang Mansion?" Does Mr. Xie go to Henan Mansion? ”

These three places were the fiefdoms of the Hui Domain, the Tang Domain, and the Yi Domain.

Shen Rui waved his hand and said: "No, mine thieves in Henan Mansion and Nanyang Mansion are rampant, I'm afraid that there is the handiwork of the Tang and Yi Mansions behind it, and this matter needs to be solved well, so I won't contact them for the time being." The Tang Dynasty is also just that, Hui and Yi have always acted as such, and they have nothing to do with the word 'Xian'. ”

Especially the Yi Domain, which is an ancestral evildoer, and it is more "evil" from generation to generation.

In the history of Shen Rui's previous life, Yi Fan was convicted and expelled from the country during the Jiajing period.

Shen Rui didn't mind letting them end it early now, so that the local people could save the fire.

Mr. Xie said: "The old man will go to Huaiqing here, and he will also ask Tian Feng and Wan Dongjiang to arrange people to investigate the mine theft." I plan for adult layout next. ”

There are many mines in Huaiqing, Henan and Nanyang, which are rich in mineral deposits, such as iron ore, tin ore, and even silver ore and golden sand.

The imperial court naturally prohibits private mining, but wealth is moving, how can it be banned!

Due to the favorable situation, the exiles gradually gathered, and many mine thieves took advantage of the mountain situation to open caves and plunder in public.

As soon as the government arrived, they fled into the mountains and forests, and the officers and soldiers withdrew and continued to steal and excavate, and even several groups of people vendetta against each other, murdered people and set fires, and were unscrupulous, which was very rampant.

It's not that the Henan government hasn't thought of a way, but the mine thieves are extremely mobile, and it is difficult to eradicate them, and the years have not been good, and they are also worried that the search and suppression will stimulate the people's rebellion too much.

Shen Rui attaches great importance to mineral deposits, especially iron ore, which is directly related to the manufacture of various types of military and civilian machinery, so he has already reported to Brother Shou and discussed with Jiang Yan to take those mine thieves together by suppressing the Liukou.

"There is Mr. Law. It's just that this matter is dangerous, sir, be careful. Shen Rui said, "In a few days, Jiang Yan's army should arrive, and it will not be too late for us to act at that time." ”

Mr. Tse said he would be very careful not to read Shen Rui.

In this way, among the Henan domains, there is only one Chongwang left.

The first generation of King Chong is the sibling brother of Xianmiao, the biological flesh and blood of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and his natural identity is noble.

In the eighth year of Hongzhi, the Empress Dowager of Zhou missed her son and wanted to declare King Chong to enter Beijing, but she gave up because the Ministry of Rites and the cabinet were opposed. Xiaomiao also felt guilty because of this.

Because of the blood closeness, Chongfu has received a lot of rewards, but there are no evil deeds that have been passed on to the court.

When he arrived at the second generation of King Chong, there was an incident, but it was Liu Jin who was in power at that time, and used Jiao Fang's strategy to collect money and vent his anger by not having the property of Jiangnan officials.

copied the late Imperial History Qian Yue's family, under the pretext that when Qian Yue was the governor of Henan, he gave Chongfu Suilu 4,000 stones of native red japonica rice instead of corn in the old example.

Liu Jin convicted him of the traffic palace, which was unauthorized to change the law and should be investigated. At that time, Qian Yue was deceased, so he confiscated the family property, and several sons were on the border, and they were not forgiven.

In fact, changing millet to japonica is a routine operation for the convenience of the people, after all, it is a native product, convenient, and beneficial to the people.

If you want to say that it is unauthorized to change the law, you can more or less get a little charged, but the crime is not like this, such a heavy punishment is just because of Liu Jin Jiaofang's viciousness.

And of course, the Chongwang Mansion was also disgraced, and even with the flattery of Changshi, he was punished for his crimes.

The second generation of Chongwang Zhengde died in six years, but the prince has not yet had a clear will.

There was Liu Jin pressed before, and the prince of Chongwang was probably afraid of being caught by this eunuch, so he honestly kept filial piety and never went to the book.

Now that Liu Jin has fallen, the fold of the invitation of the prince of Chongwang has also been handed over, but there is no movement in the sea.

Therefore, there is no need for Shen Rui to do anything, the prince Zhu Houyao is aiming to inherit the title as soon as possible, and he will actively cooperate and strive to establish his image as a virtuous king, at least on par with King Zhao.

"On your king's side, what do you think?" Mr. Xie asked.

Seeing Shen Rui shaking his head slightly, Mr. Xie said again: "My lord, King Ru is different, because he has no heir, so he is this 'virtuous king', which shows the adult's 'oneness, heart, for, and public'." ”

He specially accented "no heir" and "wholeheartedly for the public".

Shen Rui couldn't help but pause, he originally thought that the hard bone of King Ru was difficult to gnaw, and it was okay not to gnaw it, but it was true, only King Ru had no son, and he would definitely not have a relationship with Si Xiang of Taimiao.

He was still hesitating, and Mr. Xie had already said, "Why don't you let Zhou Xian give it a try?" Because of the presence of adults, King Ru may not want to see Zhou Xian, but if Zhou Xian goes to his own house, King Ru will meet him. ”

After all, King Ru was nurtured by the Empress Dowager Zhou, and with this kind of incense, he would not not see Zhou Xian, the grandson of the Empress Dowager Zhou.

He Taizhi couldn't help but widen his eyes, and subconsciously looked at Shen Rui.

Shen Rui smiled bitterly, "Mr. doesn't know ......."

Mr. Xie said: "The emperor sent Zhou Xian to 'help' the adult, and he has already put the adult in the same boat with him. ”

Shen Rui closed his eyes slightly.

At the beginning, Cai Liang invited Shen Rui and Zhou Xian to a banquet, not seeking reconciliation, but only wanting to work together peacefully.

Shen Rui did not sit at the table, but only said that if there is an imperial order, the Shen family cooperates, and will not abolish private affairs for public reasons, and as for personal relations, then there is no need to talk about it.

This time, Zhou Xian brought troops to Henan, also because of Brother Shou's secret decree.

Brother Shou wants to promote Zhou Xian, and Shen Rui will not get in the way, he has a lot of soldiers in the Texas Guard, and he is well-trained, and Zhou Xian's identity can also suppress some of the clans, all of which can be used by Shen Rui, why not.

Although they walked all the way and cooperated with each other, Shen Rui never had the intention of intersecting with Zhou Xian.

At present, it has not yet reached the critical juncture where Zhou Xian is related to the life and death of the Shen family, and Shen Rui is still unwilling to compromise.

Mr. Xie knew Shen Rui's intentions very well, but he smiled, and did not mention the old things at all, but said: "Since it is in the same boat, if the errand in Henan is done well or not, it is not only the business of adults, but also the business of Zhou Xian." ”

Seeing Shen Rui's astonishment, a trace of cunning flashed in the old gentleman's eyes, "He went to persuade King You, it was his loyalty to the king." took the Linzhang Palace, and he was also rewarded by the emperor, so he didn't repay the king's kindness at this time. ”

He said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, we don't have to say anything, just let him hear a little rumor that Zhong'an will contact the Zhou Mansion for disaster relief, and he will figure it out himself, and he will take the initiative to invite Ying to see King Ru." After all, it was not difficult for him to persuade the king. When the time comes, if the adult does not stop him and truthfully report his merits, it will be an adult's kindness. ”

Shen Rui was dumbfounded for a while, then smiled, and solemnly waved to Mr. Xie, "Thank you, Mr. for teaching me." ”

After some discussion, Mr. Xie and He Taizhi went back to pack up and prepare to set off immediately, and grabbed time to send the deeds of several "virtuous kings" to Beijing as soon as possible.

Shen Rui walked around the room a few times by himself, thinking about a lot of things, but every time he sat down and wrote a letter to Shen Li, he didn't know what to write.

He hesitated for a long time, but finally made a ball of paper.

That was a few days ago, and the consequences of what might have happened had already happened, and now, I can't really write about anything.

I can only wait for the follow-up news from Zhang Hui's side, and then ...... according to the situation Let's get on the books.

Brother Shou, the loyal brother of the Shen family, knows even more about the deep blood feud between the Shen family and Ning Fan, so Brother Shou should know that Shen Li was framed, and he will not be assigned to Ning Fan's gang.

However, Brother Shou's temper is difficult not to be angry, especially the intention of adjusting Shen Li to return to Beijing and suppressing Zhang Wei, who jumped up and down, but now he has been used by Zhang Wei......

I can only hope that Brother Shou will use Shen Li to do great things, and he won't punish him too much.

As for Shen Li's response, at the moment, it is really a dilemma.

Piracy is also a crime in itself, but it is also incompetence and dereliction of duty, and once the truth is revealed, it will be the target of political opponents for a long, long time.

And if you don't mention it, it's okay now, once Ning Fan rebels in the future, those who have stood up and shouted for Ning Fan will be criminalized, even if the cabinet and even the emperor can guarantee Shen Li, I am afraid that they will be besieged by political enemies.

Shen Rui couldn't help but feel distressed.

*

A few days ago, in the capital, Shen Li's mansion

The main courtyard was brightly lit, but there were only three people in the hall.

All the servants were sent out of the courtyard to wait, and not one of them was left to serve tea and pour water.

Shen Li sat on the top with a calm face, and on the official hat chairs on both sides were his eldest son Shen Lin and son-in-law Zhang Wei.

Shen Lin glared at Zhang Wei opposite, and his eyes could almost erupt with fire.

Although the family had already discussed, Shen Lin's mood calmed down slightly, but when he saw Zhang Wei, he still couldn't help but feel angry.

This bastard thing! When his parents returned to Beijing this time, he brought Sister Mei over, and kept saying that Sister Mei missed her parents and wanted to stay at home for two more days to accompany the second elder, and do her filial piety. The mother was overjoyed and said that this son-in-law was intimate.

How do you know that this son-in-law is a black-hearted and immoral thing! took the opportunity to sneak into his father's study, pirate the printed books, and push the entire Shen family into the fire pit!

Zhang Wei looked at Shen Lin's murderous gaze, but his demeanor was calm.

He even spoke first to break the silence in the room and said to Shen Li: "Father-in-law also knows that the emperor's Qinggong is still empty, and he always has to bring in a holy son in order to calm the heart of the world." It is a matter of the country, and since the son of the virtuous king is in Beijing, it is the will of heaven ......"

"Nonsense! Shut up! Shen Lin was shocked and angry, and couldn't help but scold.

This is not a secret room, so dare to say such a thing?! What a death!

The key is to find yourself to die, don't affect others!

Shen Li raised his hand and waved at his eldest son, then turned to his son-in-law, with a somewhat complicated expression on his face, and said, "I was coerced by someone to coerce you. It seems that I underestimated you. ”

The tone of these words was flat, but it was infinitely sarcastic in Zhang Wei's ears.

He laughed at himself, it was beyond his expectation that the Shen family didn't shout and shout to kill, couldn't he listen to a few words of ridicule. Besides, the wood is already in the boat, what is the use of mockery.

Pulling the corners of his mouth, Zhang Wei said: "My father-in-law just returned to the capital, I don't know what happened before and after, and my son-in-law is also worried about you." ”

Shen Lin gritted his teeth and clucked, scolding "shameless".

Zhang Wei turned a deaf ear, and brought out the set of rhetoric that he had already thought of, and said: "You are as wise as your father-in-law, how can you not see that in the current situation, you can only be meritorious if you are the first." If he follows the people behind him, he will be rewarded for his deeds every day, and there will be nothing to do with the people behind him. ”

His eyes flickered, and his voice lowered: "Elder Li Ge and Elder Wang Ge have both Spring and Autumn Period, and my father-in-law is not only from Hanlin, but also has outstanding political achievements on the pastoral side, and it is the time to go further...... With this merit, it is logical to enter the cabinet. ”

As he spoke, his eyes were burning, as if he was facing a situation where he could enter the cabinet, and he did not hide his thirst for power.

"I'm here for my father-in-law, and for our Shen family......" he said.

Shen Lin was extremely angry and shouted and scolded: "Shameless! Shameless! You are clearly planning for your own sake, using the Shen family as a stepping stone, using all the means to put gold on your face?! ”

My father is less than fifty, and he is in the prime of life, and he has both knowledge and political achievements.

He also corresponded with his father and Uncle Rui many times, knowing that his father wanted to borrow the position of the Ministry of Industry to promote some of Uncle Rui's engineering ideas.

But all of this is ruined by the villain Zhang Wei!

Shen Li was not angry at all, stared at Zhang Wei for a moment, and said lightly: "Next, I have already resigned from the office." ”

Zhang Wei didn't seem to hear clearly, with a little dazed on his face, and subconsciously asked, "What?" ”

Shen Lin smiled sarcastically, and replied to him with a bit of pleasure: "Your plan has failed, and my father has already resigned from the office." ”

Zhang Wei was struck by lightning, and his eyes suddenly widened, and his face was full of disbelief.

But soon, as if he thought of something, he twitched his cheeks, barely squeezed out a smile, and forced himself to calm down: "In the end, it is still the father-in-law who is smart, and this is ...... to retreat."

Shen Lin was about to be angry with him, and he opened his mouth to scold, but was stopped by Shen Li raising his hand.

Shen Li still said in a flat tone, "The emperor has agreed." After handing over the affairs in the past few days, I will take my family back to Songjiang. Shen Lin stayed for two months, and when spring began, he found a place to put it outside. ”

As he spoke, he motioned to Shen Lin for a moment, and said, "The documents for you and Sister Mei to reconcile have been prepared, and the dowry was originally brought to your house with Sister Mei'er, and the list is at the end of the documents." ”

Zhang Wei's twisted smile froze on his face, and his brain was buzzing.

Shen Li was able to use this trick!!

Although Shen Li took the initiative to resign, in the eyes of the courtiers, it was the emperor who was angry and wanted to remove Shen Li's official position, and "taking the initiative to resign" was just to give him the last dignity.

Thunder is angry, just say a book, who else dares to go against the wind?!

I'm afraid that no one will dare to mention this matter anymore!

He has worked hard for a long time, and the hard work of the pioneers has been in vain, not to mention, this matter has not been done, and Wang Ye Ning is ......

It would be nice to say that Mr. Miao was still in charge of the affairs of the capital, but now it is Mr. Xiao Li, who is the most black-hearted, in charge......

Zhang Wei's pupils contracted suddenly, and when he came back to his senses, Shen Lin had already handed over a few pieces of paper to him, and he subconsciously lowered his head, and the word "leave" was dazzling!

And off!

At this time, he will be killed!

Zhang Wei's face was also cold, and he tore the book to pieces in three or two, threw his hand on the ground, and said loudly: "Father-in-law, what does this mean?" ”

Shen Lin couldn't bear it for a long time, because he was guarding against Zhang Wei, he also copied several copies of the book, and then took out another copy, slammed it at him, and scolded: "You are a thing that has lost virtue and degraded, and now you still have to rely on the Shen family?" Quickly signed the paperwork! ”

Zhang Wei suddenly felt fear in his heart, but even more anger appeared, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes, and he kicked over the chair next to him, "What kind of innocent white family is your Shen family?!" Now you want to be reconciled with me! I signed this paperwork, and you turned around to be your book, only to get rid of me! Dream! ”

"Your Shen family and Xie family are raccoon dogs! At the beginning, I didn't take a fancy to my grandfather's official fortune, and Baba came to the door to get engaged! Xie Ge Lao wants to take advantage of people, but he can't even give up a granddaughter, so it's so rare to get a granddaughter?!

"The Xie family, the Shen family, which one doesn't just want to take advantage and don't want to contribute! Otherwise, how could I have forced my grandfather to death!! One or two of you are accomplices, what kind of saints are you pretending to be here! ”

Hearing this, Shen Li couldn't help but be angry, waved his hand and smashed the tea cup on the ground on the high table, and shouted: "Don't want to spew blood!" The family affair was originally mentioned by your family first, and your grandfather was a drill camp and an official, so what does it have to do with the Xie family and the Shen family? ! ”

Zhang Wei suddenly cracked his mouth and smiled madly, "Hehe, drill camp? What did he do with the camp? What's going on with the drill camp? It's just a matchmaker for another champion of your Shen family! ”

Obviously, he also knew what Zhang Yuanzhen had done to get into trouble.

Shen Li's face was even more ugly, this was not a secret room, it involved foreign relatives, and he couldn't say bluntly that the Zhang family was the enemy of the Shen family.

Zhang Wei only thought that he was poor in words, and he seemed crazy for a while, and pointed at Shen Li and said: "Your Shen family has become the son-in-law of the Hou Mansion, and you have taken advantage of it, and one or two officials are prosperous, but you say that my grandfather drilled the camp?!" Your Shen family doesn't drill camp?! How did you get to this official position without camping? And that Shen Rui! is only a few years old, and there is no one more virtuous than him in the Manchu Dynasty, so he has a high position! ”

"You haven't relied on the old father-in-law?! He Shen Rui didn't rely on his old father-in-law?! One or two rely on my father-in-law, but who do I rely on? ”

Zhang Wei looked resentful, and said viciously: "Say that I am a son-in-law, which one is planning for me, if I don't send money to Liu Jin, where can I keep my reputation?!" I have been studying hard for many years, where are the knowledge articles inferior to others, why should I be emasculated and dethroned?! But if you are willing to run for me, how can I end up with the reputation of being a eunuch?! ”

"And leave? Still want to reconcile? Still want to get rid of me?! Dream! I tell you, now you owe it to my grandfather! Owe me! ”

"The Shen family owes you?! What a big breath, do you deserve it? Suddenly, a cold female voice came from the courtyard.

The three of them subconsciously looked into the courtyard, but saw that it was Shen Mei who walked over alone, obviously the servants and maids around her were all left outside the courtyard.

Shen Lin hurriedly ran out and hugged his sister, and couldn't help but feel distressed.

When the father said Zhang Wei's behavior and was ready to reconcile and leave for them, the mother was so angry that she almost fainted, but the younger sister was always unresponsive, and her heart looked like she was dead.

She came over at this time, and when she heard the beast's wild words, I was afraid that I couldn't tell how sad I was.

Shen Lin hurriedly said, "Why are you here?" Didn't you want to stay with your mother? Don't listen to that brute barking! Go back! ”

Shen Mei shook his head gently, "Mother, that's a heart disease, I'm only afraid that she will be more uncomfortable when I accompany her." ”

On this day, Xie lost his proud identity, and found that the marriage he insisted on choosing for his daughter was so bad, where could he bear it, and he fell ill directly.

"I'm here to finish." Shen Mei said in a low voice, raised his eyes and met Zhang Wei with a hideous face.

Shen Mei was not afraid, and said coolly, "Zhang Tanhua, you have been known as a prodigy since you were a child, and the Zhang family has always valued you as the eldest grandson. Then you tell me, Lord Zhang, the servant of the ministry, took his own most promising eldest grandson, but went to match a 'grandson, grandson, and daughter' in Xie Ge's hometown, what is the picture? ”

Zhang Wei choked up.

Shen Mei didn't blink, and asked one after another.

"When Zhang Shilang was seriously ill, the Zhang family was embattled, and he came to my house again and again to ask me to hurry through the door, what is the picture?"

"Zhang Shilang and Mrs. Zhang passed away one after another, I was dragged by you to keep filial piety for several years, 'benevolence and righteousness' are like you, and there is no letter mentioning a sentence of resignation, what is the picture?"

"When you have a good future in high school, you haven't quit your family from my family, what are you trying to do?"

"In the past few years, you have been walking around in Beijing, what you have done, and what money has passed, do you really not know?"

Shen Mei's tone was flat, not like a question, but it forced Zhang Wei to not answer a word.

Hearing the last sentence, Zhang Wei's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he stared at Shen Mei.

Shen Mei lowered his eyelashes, slowly breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his finger and pointed at the few pieces of tissue paper on the ground, and said, "Zhang Wei, sign and leave the book, after that, you go to your Yangguan Road." ”

Xiyuan, Leopard House Mansion

Zhang Huihou was outside the hall, his mind kept turning around the various matters to be returned, and he was still wondering why he could say a few words for Shen Li and even Shen Rui without a trace.

While he was thinking about it, there was movement inside, and he hurriedly retracted his thoughts, straightened his clothes, and waited for the summons.

It was Channing who came out first.

Seeing Zhang Hui, this guy greeted him with a smile and said two insincere compliments, after all, he has a hundred households, and he is still a person from Jinyiwei, so he always has to bow his head to his boss.

In fact, there was really a knife in his eyes.

Zhang Hui snorted twice, and he didn't even bother to say hello to this "subordinate".

Followed by the Taoist of Tianliang Palace, the master of Tianliang Palace, Xiyuan.

An old acquaintance, Zhang Hui immediately smiled and said hello.

Tianliangzi didn't have any "fairy" shelves, so he kindly asked for warmth, took out a thumb-sized porcelain bottle from the wide sleeve of his robe, handed it to Zhang Hui, and said: "It's cold, this ball clears the throat and nourishes the throat for adults." ”

Zhang Hui twitched the corner of his mouth, this bull's nose, the technique of bribery in the palace is skilled!

It's just that this love to give people medicine can't be changed! He wished he had given him a bribe!

It was rumored that Zhang Hui had met him, and after saying goodbye politely, Zhang Hui hurriedly rushed into the hall.

I saw Brother Shou wearing a Taoist robe, sitting cross-legged on the futon, sitting in a similar manner, and the green smoke curling in the small incense burner on the side was very quiet.

Zhang Hui couldn't speak for a while.

Or Brother Shou teased his eyelids first, and asked Zhang Hui slowly: "Where are you, are you staring at them?" ”

Zhang Hui hurriedly leaned over and said, "Long live don't worry." ”

Brother Shou let out a long "um" with his nose, and suddenly said, "Shen Li has resigned, and I am ready." ”

Zhang Hui was startled, his mind was confused, and he couldn't answer.

I heard Brother Shou say: "It deserves to be the champion." It's a pity. ”

He suddenly came to his senses, and secretly said that he was clever, and this trick could untie the buckles in several places. It's just a pity, it's a good scholar's position, and if you give it up, you will give it up, this ......

Zhang Hui didn't dare to think too much, and hurriedly responded: "The ministers will keep an eye on everywhere. "I made another scratching motion.

"Not necessarily." Brother Shou said slowly, "Let them go." ”

Zhang Hui's throat moved, why did the emperor have a little bit of fairy wind bones today? It's all thanks to Tianliangzi's bull's nose!

Brother Shou changed his gesture and said, "Fang Cai Tianliangzi really made a hexagram for me. ”

Zhang Hui barely controlled his surprise, I haven't heard of this person who can tell hexagrams?

"The twenty-third day of the lunar month is a good day." Shou Ge Dao.

Zhang Hui almost laughed out loud, this bull's nose! What a hexagram! Twenty-three sacrificial stoves, isn't it a good day! Is Tete coaxing the emperor happy?!

But the emperor's next sentence, he couldn't laugh at all.

"Don't they always say that the Qinggong is still empty?" Brother Shou folded his hands together, his expression was solemn, but his tone was extremely brisk, and he said: "On the good day of the twenty-third day of the lunar month, I accepted Qian Ning as a 'righteous son', and fulfilled their wishes. ”
