Shen Xi did not rashly agree to Xie Qian's participation in this Ministry of Rites examination. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Because he has only been a student for three years, he has become an examiner, and he was selected from the examination questions of the last session, others will definitely try their best to spread rumors, slander and slander him.

How smart people are, how vicious they will be to others.

False Taoism and true villains will always be more than real gentlemen.

It's rare to be quiet during this time, Shen Xi wants to maintain this simple day, why do you have to go to the troubled waters to preside over the Ministry of Rites?

Even if someone is selected, those people will not be grateful for his kindness, it is better to study how to build a good relationship with the bear child Zhu Houzhao, this is serious.

After the year, Shen Xi was enjoying his rare vacation time, and basically no one in his house would come to disturb him, and the most discordant voice came from the Zhou family.

In the name of watching his grandson, the Zhou family almost relied on Shen Xi's mansion during the day, and always instigated Shen Xi to let her and Shen Mingjun move over and form a big family, which was called to carry forward the Shen family, but in fact, it satisfied her selfish desire to be the head of the Shen family.

Shen Xi has only one opinion on this, it's okay to come and take a walk, but it's better to live their own lives.

Zhou's is still a little far away from menopause, but with the loss of Hui Niang, a caring person by her side, her temper is getting more and more irritable, and she will count it there if she has nothing to do, and it is not aimed at anyone, first talk about her husband, then talk about the eldest son, then talk about the younger son and younger daughter, and then talk about the old lady Li, and then count down the two daughters-in-law, even Yin Wen has become the target of her verbal criticism, and in the end, even the dead Hui Niang has not escaped.

Shen Xi initially thought that it might be a good thing for Shen Mingjun and his wife to leave the shadow of the old lady to live in the capital, but now it seems that it is a mistake at all, it is better to send them back to Tingzhou Mansion, at least the ears can be quiet.

"Xianggong, my mother said that the plaster shop business, she will be responsible for it alone in the future, and we don't need to interfere."

"Hey, my mother always scolds me, why don't you speak for me?"

"Uh-huh......"

The three women around Shen Xi were all aggrieved.

Xie Yun'er rarely found spiritual sustenance, and she could get involved in some business things while teaching her husband and children, but now she was deprived by the Zhou family; What Lin Dai is most afraid of is that Zhou scolds her, and now Zhou completely treats her as a pick-up, and scolds her for not saying anything at all; Yin Wen had never seen what a shrew looked like, and she didn't understand why that fierce woman always had trouble with her.

"My mother likes to take care of business, so let her go."

Shen Xi said to Xie Yun'er, "Mother has something to do, at least she won't come over to bother us every day." The older the old man gets, the more like a child, and the more he cares about the people around him, we care more about her. ”

In fact, the Zhou family is not old at all, she can have children at this time, but she seems to have lost interest in continuing to spread branches for the Shen family, but hopes that Xie Yun'er and Lin Dai can inherit her mantle, and more Shen Xi will have children.

The main thing is that she feels that giving birth to a useless young son has hit her self-confidence a lot...... After the New Year, Shen Yun will be six years old, Shen Xi has already pondered about enlightening reading when he is this year, but Shen Yun is completely angry, let alone reading, crying when he has nothing to do, he can't learn a word in half a month, no matter how you look at it, he is not a reading seed.

But Shen Yi'er was so arrogant, every time she went to Shen Xi's house, she would always take a book to study there, although she couldn't bear most of the words, but she shook her head, as if she really wanted to be a female champion in the future.

……

……

In a blink of an eye, on the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, Shen Xi entered the palace for the first time after the year to give Zhu Houzhao a lesson.

Since the beginning of the Lunar New Year, the wind and sun have been beautiful, the snow has melted, and the weather in the capital has been much warmer, but due to the large temperature difference between morning and evening, the temperature has fallen below the freezing point at night, and the capital has not yet seen the spring scenery of the recovery of all things.

Because he was speaking alone, Shen Xi didn't need to be accompanied when he entered the palace, and he could watch the scenery on the road alone.

If you want to say that the view of this palace is indeed much better than the streets and alleys outside. Although the capital is the most prosperous place in the world, even on several main streets, there are still many dilapidated houses, most of the trees along the streets are withered, and livestock manure can be seen everywhere, which makes the scenery worse.

Especially in this kind of winter and spring intersecting season, there are many green trees such as green pine, dragon cypress, boxwood and so on in the palace wall, coupled with red walls and green tiles, all kinds of sculptures are beautiful, and people forget to return. The only pity is that the surroundings are quiet, and Shen Xi walks in it, feeling as if he has broken into the picture scroll of stagnant scenery.

In the first class after the year, Shen Xi didn't plan to teach any advanced knowledge, so he checked what he learned before the year and told historical stories casually.

Zhu Houzhao was wrapped in a heavy winter coat, and when he saw Shen Xi grinning, he could see that he was still quite enthusiastic.

"Mr. Shen, have a good New Year." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile, "I heard that the children outside will have New Year's money, can you give some?" ”

Shen Xi squinted and glanced at the bear child.

Twelve-year-old Zhu Houzhao, except for the fact that he has grown taller and his face is a little rounder when he first met at the age of nine, nothing else seems to have changed, and he still likes to be smart.

"The prince has lived in the palace for a long time, what is the use of pressing the New Year's money?" Shen Xi asked.

"Money, you can buy good things, of course it's useful." Zhu Houzhao thought about it, and just wanted to talk about the arrears, only to realize that it seemed inappropriate to say this at this time.

Shen Xi was about to start speaking, and a eunuch with a bowed head walked out from the back of the hall, but it was not Liu Jin, who had been Zhu Houzhao's attendant before, but another person Shen Xi knew, Shen Mingyou, who was now named Zhang Yuan.

"Father-in-law Zhang, you go in and get some snacks out, I'm a little hungry, and I'll give them to a few gentlemen." Zhu Houzhao seemed very considerate, and actually asked Shen Mingyou to get snacks.

The attendants of the East Palace, as long as they are Hanlin, are nominally Zhu Houzhao's "Mr."

It was supposed to be polite to Mr., but it would be good for Zhu Houzhao not to make trouble for these "gentlemen", and it was the first time that he had rewarded dim sum.

Waiting for Shen Mingyou to retreat to prepare snacks, Shen Xi asked, "Why don't you see Gonggong Liu?" ”

Regarding the replacement of the eunuch, the personal attendant of the prince of the East Palace, Shen Xi must ask a clear understanding, because Liu Jin is a man of the year in the future Zhengde, and the political turmoil in the early years of Zhengde was mainly caused by Liu Jin's arbitrary power.

Even Ma Wensheng, Liu Daxia, Liu Jian, Xie Qian and other old ministers were planted in the hands of this old eunuch, and even many Confucian ministers who claimed to be clear and clear also joined the ranks of the "eunuch party", and were dismissed from office after Liu Jin was ambushed, and had no chance with the court for life.

"I don't know, it seems that my father transferred him to do something else."

Zhu Houzhao scratched his head and said, "Then Liu Jin, if you have nothing to do, you will make trouble for me, it's better not to be around now, I think Grandpa Zhang is quite good at doing things, much better than Grandpa Liu......"

When it came to Shen Mingyou, Zhu Houzhao was a little happy, although he had known Shen Mingyou for a few days, it was obvious that Shen Mingyou had already won over the little prince through some means.

An ominous premonition rose in Shen Xi's heart.

Who can please the prince, who will be able to have enough authority in the future when this bear child is greedy for pleasure, and now the question is who can become the first celebrant eunuch in the early years of Zhengde? In history, it was Liu Jin, and now that Liu Jin has lost power, won't this person become Shen Ming, right?

From the perspective of intimacy, Shen Mingyou and Shen Xi are uncles and nephews of the family, Shen Xi really doesn't have to worry too much, not to mention that Shen Mingyou once secretly revealed the emperor's thoughts to him and let him know the emperor's thoughts.

Looking at it superficially, Shen Ming has power, which is beneficial to Shen Xi, but if you take the long-term view of the time, and then start from the overall situation, Shen Ming has the power, which may be a disaster for Shen Xi.

Shen Ming is powerful, he will not help Shen Xi anything, because Shen Ming has this person who is selfish, and he leaked the emperor's mind before, not to help Shen Xi, but to achieve his goal of befriending foreign ministers, and to have a relationship with Shen Xi, so that his son can get Shen Xi's protection.

And Shen Mingyou became a eunuch when he became an adult, especially after giving birth to children, and it was only a few years before and after, such a person was cynical and psychologically distorted, and it was easy to transfer this hatred to the Shen family and even the people of the world.

Shen Ming is more sleek and sophisticated than Liu Jin, and in Shen Xi's opinion, Shen Ming may be more dangerous than Liu Jin.

Taking a step back, even if Shen Ming didn't do anything evil, just his identity as a member of the Shen family made Shen Xi very embarrassed. What I am most afraid of is that Shen Ming will fall like Liu Jin in the future, and in the end, others will classify Shen Xi as a eunuch, so Shen Xi will really cry out.

This is not that Shen Xi is worried, as one of the first seven sons in history, and also the champion of the palace examination in the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, Kanghai, is because he is a fellow villager in Guanzhong with Liu Jin, and in order to save Li Mengyang, he went to Liu Jin to eat wine and drink banquets, so he was designated as a eunuch and was not allowed to step into officialdom for life.

Soon, the dim sum was taken out, and Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, try it, it's all good things, I eat it cutely on weekdays." ”

Shen Xi smiled, picked up a piece of dim sum and ate it, Shen Mingyou didn't even raise his head, took the plate and continued to send it to other gentlemen to taste.

The dim sum was so sweet and greasy, Shen Xi thought to himself, no wonder this kid's face is getting rounder and rounder, and his feelings are caused by eating sweets.

"Sir, let's talk. What are you talking about today? Zhu Houzhao asked excitedly.

At the end of the year, Zhu Houzhao was bored, so he would want to be lazy when he studied, and he felt bored when he was lazy for a long time, he didn't have any playmates of the same age, he was similar to Shen Xi's age, Shen Xi knew some interesting things, and he was very knowledgeable, he didn't have much interest in other people's classes, but he was full of interest in Shen Xi's classes.

Shen Xi said: "Review today." ”

As he spoke, Shen Xi glanced at Shen Mingyou, who was standing behind the prince's side.

is a little different from Liu Jin's arrogance, Shen Mingyou is more low-key, and Shen Mingyou knows that he has no status in the East Palace, and he knows the importance of observing words and feelings.

"What's the point of reviewing...... Sir, why don't you tell me a little bit more about history? Zhu Houzhao widened his eyes and pleaded.

Shen Xi is a little different from other East Palace speakers, that is, Shen Xi uses a lot of slang in class, and it is not a vulgar language, but ordinary conversations can be understood, and those who are not the same.

What Zhu Houzhao is most interested in is that Shen Xi connects historical characters into stories, which does not sound monotonous and boring.

"What story does the prince want to hear?" Shen Xi asked.

"It's best to be from the Tang Dynasty, or can you tell the story of Li Ji? I vaguely remember that this person's original name was Xu Shiyun, as if he was assisting Cheng in Wagang to bite gold, and later after joining the Tang Dynasty, he was given the surname Li by Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, and he led his troops to break the ****** and Goguryeo, and made outstanding contributions......"

Zhu Houzhao's favorite is the content of fighting and killing, especially foreign wars, this bear child doesn't feel enjoyable after listening to it once.

Shen Xi said: "The prince reads history, and he should take history as a mirror, the decline of the Tang Dynasty, the Anshi Rebellion as a turning point, and the abolition of the eunuch party after the Tang Dynasty. ”

Zhu Houzhao was puzzled for a moment, and then let out an inexplicable voice: "Ah!?" ”
