The officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are all over the world, and what they do is to investigate the people's feelings, and it is inevitable to occasionally collect some rumors as a blueprint to impeach officials. With Cai Wenyuan's order, the people of Jiangnan gradually spread the news that the commander of Jinyiwei knew Shen Chongming, young and promising, and vicious as hatred. There are great opinions about some powerful ministers in the DPRK and China, saying that they do not want to do things for the people, and they know all day long that they are vying for power, and this is the fundamental reason for the great flood in Henan!

It's not simple for these words to reach the ears of the imperial historians, this is slander, and it is to investigate the crime of sitting back! It's just whether it's true or not, and he immediately wrote an excerpt and handed it to the headquarters to ask the Imperial Envoy Ouyang to check it and see if Shen Chongming was impeached.

Old man Ouyang and Shen Chongming were also sworn enemies, and when they saw such news, they immediately sneered. It seems that Shen Chongming has not been on an errand in Jinyiwei for a long time, but this courage is about to fly into the sky, and he dares to say bad things about Xu Ge Lao! Who is this powerful man who is willing to give up his rank today?

Don't think too much, immediately call the chief attendant to prepare a sedan chair, master, I want to visit Xu Ge Lao.

"Lord Ouyang, you look anxious, what's going on?" Looking at Ouyang Jingzhi with an anxious face, Xu Jie couldn't help but wonder, he had just arranged the disaster relief in Henan in the past few days, and he wanted to rest at home for a few days, but he didn't expect him to come to the door to disturb him again.

"Look at this, my lord." Ouyang Jingzhi handed a few copies of the recital to Xu Jie. Xu Jie took it and looked at it a few times, his face couldn't help but darken, of course he could see that this was himself, not only that, but he also saw a deeper meaning, Shen Chongming was building momentum for Gao Gong's comeback!

"My lord, what should I do?" Ouyang Jingzhi asked in a low voice, since Shen Chongming went to Jinyiwei on an errand, he was very worried in his heart, Jinyiwei supervised hundreds of officials, in case Shen Chongming was a little harmful to himself, just fabricating or collecting some evidence was enough for him to drink a pot. So for such a long time, Ouyang Jingzhi has been pondering whether he can take him out first. And this time he suddenly attacked Xu Jie, which was a good opportunity!

Xu Jie thought about it, and laughed indifferently, "It's just rumors, if you and I care about these things all day long, where do you still have time to do errands, just ignore it." ”

As soon as he saw Xu Jie's appearance, Ouyang Jingzhi knew that he was really angry, and he didn't expose it, he bowed down and said, "My lord is high, the lower officials admire it." ”

Sending Ouyang Jingzhi away, Xu Jie frowned and pondered, there must be a reason for the groundless, Shen Chongming is in Jinyiwei, and it is really scary to hold the power of supervision, if this is really what he said, then he is really a little dangerous.

After pondering for a while, Xu Jie laughed and raised his voice: "Someone! The foreign minister hurriedly walked in, "Master, what do you command?" "Go, call my uncle, and say that I have something to ask him, master."

The teacher summoned him, and Zhang Juzheng, who was also resting at home, rushed to the scene, "Teacher, dare to ask the students what you want to order?" ”

"Uncle, a few days ago, the emperor asked you to send an official to Henan to rebuild the embankment, do you have a good candidate?"

Zhang Juzheng was stunned, couldn't help shaking his head and said with a wry smile: "Teacher, you also know that everyone avoids such errands, and the students have recently selected a few people, but as soon as they heard that they were going to Henan to repair the embankment, they all said that they were sick and recuperated at home." ”

"Alas, there are fewer and fewer officials in the imperial court who dare to act, and it is not worth worrying about sending such people to repair the embankment, so you should change a few more people." Xu Jie's face was also full of helplessness.

"Teacher, you are most familiar with the officials of the DPRK and China, and please ask the teacher to give you some guidance to the students." Zhang Juzheng said respectfully, he could see that the teacher called himself to come over this time, and he must have a candidate in his heart.

"Hehe, don't say it, Weishi just thought of a candidate, what do you think of Shen Chongming?" Xu Jie looked at Zhang Juzheng with a light smile.

Zhang Juzheng was stunned, and he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, the teacher's suspicion was getting stronger and stronger, and he was unwilling to let go of Shen Chongming's name in Jiangnan. Although he felt sorry for Shen Chongming in his heart, he still nodded obediently and said: "Yes, Shen Chongming went to Henan to repair the embankment with Niu Shilang of the Ministry of Works, and he can be regarded as having some experience, but I don't know if the emperor will agree." ”

"Hehe, uncle rest assured. Although this Shen Chongming is also shouldering a heavy responsibility now, it is still lighter than the affairs of Henan, as long as we contact our colleagues to speak together, the emperor will definitely cut his love, and this is also for the sake of the court. Xu Jie said earnestly.

"Yes, it's all up to the teacher." In front of Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng will always obey his words.

"Send Shen Chongming to Henan?" As soon as he heard Zhang Juzheng's candidate, Emperor Longqing couldn't help but shake his head, "No, Shen Aiqing is busy with inaction, and he can't get out of it at all." Besides, there are so many officials in the court, why did you choose him? ”

"That's what the emperor said. However, although there were hundreds of officials in the imperial court, they were proficient in water conservancy, and very few had experience in repairing embankments. When Lord Shen was studying in Guozijian, he had gone to Henan Province with the then Ministry of Industry Niu to repair the abbot's embankment, and he was experienced in this area, so it was only fitting to send him. As soon as Zhang Juzheng said this, Emperor Longqing also remembered that this matter was originally Mr. Gao invited him to greet the Ministry of Industry.

"Having said that, Shen Aiqing is now investigating the Wuwei Sect in Jiangnan, and I'm afraid I can't get out." Emperor Longqing is still a little reluctant, going to Henan is a chore, and he can't use his love.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has received a report from the local government that all the money and grain for Wuwei Sect confiscated some days ago have been transported to Nanjing, and now they are preparing ships to prepare for disaster relief in Henan. It can be seen that Master Shen has completed the errand of Wuweijiao. Now let him continue to stay in Nanjing, it is really Lang to spend such a good water conservancy official. Moreover, this time the investigation of the case of Wuwei Teaching has made great contributions to Lord Shen, and it is time to be promoted in terms of meritorious deeds. Therefore, it is very suitable for him to be promoted to the right waiter of the Zhengsanpin Ministry of Industry, and he happened to go to Henan for disaster relief and water conservancy. Xu Jie said with a smile, he had already figured out Emperor Longqing's temper, and he must have been thinking about what kind of official position he would give Shen Chongming these days.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard that Shen Chongming had been promoted to Zheng Sanpin, Long Qing couldn't help but nod his head and said with a smile: "Xu Aiqing is reasonable, Shen Chongming did a good job on this errand, and it is time to reward him." Then, according to your wishes, promote him to the right attendant of the Ministry of Works. In addition, the remnants of the Wuwei Sect are still there, and the errand of Jinyiwei commanding Tongzhi is still at the same time, and he is in charge of Wuwei. ”

Xu Jie was stunned, although he was a little unhappy that Shen Chongming was still the commander of the Jinyi Guard, but since the emperor had agreed to send him to Henan to be responsible for repairing the water conservancy, he didn't bother to care about this anymore. Anyway, repairing water conservancy is a bottomless pit, most of the time it is who goes and who plantes, as long as he is stuck with money in the court, he will definitely be unable to move an inch in Henan, waiting to accept the guilt!

After the assassination turmoil, the Nanjing Jinyi Guard Yamen is now heavily guarded. It's a pity that Dasuo has been in the city for a few days, and there is no trace of the assassin who escaped that night.

However, with the seizure of Wuwei Jiao money and grain from all over the country to the north, the investigation of the Wuwei Jiao case can be regarded as a temporary end, and the next is the responsibility of the local government, closely investigate the activities of Wuwei in various places, once discovered, immediately report to Jinyiwei, and then follow up by Jinyiwei.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming, Shen Chongming's thoughts of going home sprouted again, and after thinking about it, he decided to talk to Liu Shouyou, who was about to return to Beijing, to see if he could make himself free to go back to his home to see, and by the way, arrange a marriage, marrying three daughters-in-law at a time, it is also a troublesome matter.

"Home? Hehe, I'm sorry Brother Shen, news has just come from the capital that the emperor has promoted you to the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, and is ready to send you to Henan to be responsible for repairing water conservancy, and the holy decree will arrive soon. Liu Shouyou looked at Shen Chongming, who had an ugly face, and smiled.

"Why, the younger brother can't fight with the eight poles of the Ministry of Works, why do you send me to repair the embankment?" Shen Chongming is not stupid, this is a quagmire, and if you fall into it, you can't get out. Even if everything goes smoothly, such a big project as post-disaster reconstruction, there is no one who wants to make a difference for a year and a half, and the delay has dragged himself to death, and the marriage has become far away.

"Hehe, someone in the court must be upset with you. But there's nothing to worry about, this errand is done well, and the emperor is even more impressed with you, as long as the emperor values it, all conspiracies and tricks are useless to you. Besides, if we are courtiers, we should share the worries of the emperor, no matter what, you have to do a good job in Henan this time, and strive to build another great achievement. Liu Shouyou comforted.

"Well, that's it." Shen Chongming scratched his head, he was in the officialdom, and he couldn't help himself. "Okay, then when you are on an errand in Henan, can you take a leave of absence and go home during the Chinese New Year?"

"It should be possible, as long as you arrange things properly, you don't need to stay in Henan all the time. As long as the errand can be done well, no one else can say anything if he stays at home during the period. By the way, Brother Shen, you are in such a hurry to go home, you can't be in a hurry to marry a daughter-in-law, right? Liu Shouyou raised his eyebrows and quipped.

Shen Chongming laughed a few times and didn't say anything, which was a tacit acquiescence.

After two days, on the eighth day of August in the second year of Longqing, the holy decree of the capital finally arrived in Nanjing, accompanied by an official uniform of the third grade and the seal of the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry.

Shen Chongming wanted to go north to Henan, so Liu Shouyou deliberately stayed for two more days, and the two left Chen Xiao to continue to be responsible for the follow-up of Wuweijiao, and went north with dozens of Hu from Dama. With so many servants, most of them are protecting Shen Chongming, and with the last assassin incident, Liu Shouyou is very worried about Shen Chongming's safety.

There was nothing to say all the way, relying on the speed of the horse, and finally entered the Henan territory on August 16.

"Brother Liu, when you get to the capital, send someone to the younger brother's courtyard and give these things to Yumeng." is about to part ways, Shen Chongming handed over the small Nanjing specialties that he had been staying all the way to Liu Shouyou, which was brought by Yan Yumeng and his little sister.

"Hahaha, Brother Shen is fascinated by Zhu Yan, which is really the true nature of a man. Don't worry, my brother will bring something, and by the way, I will help you say a few good words. Liu Shouyou quipped.

Shen Chongming didn't have much thought, he was running around all the year round, and his guilt for being extremely popular became deeper and deeper. "Big brother, take care all the way." "Well, my brother should also be solemn, come to ** my brother's capital to see you again."
