Chapter Eighty-Four: The Rapids Retreat
Chapter Eighty-Four: The Rapids Retreat Bravely
Bahan Naji immediately went to the capital, and Shen Chongming personally presided over the farewell ceremony, invited many officials of all sizes to go out of the city to send them off, and brought a lot of gifts for Bahan Naji, as many as 20 carts.
Such hospitality also made Bahan Naji turn back step by step, full of reluctance, and this is exactly what Shen Chongming wants.
"What? You're going to resign and go home! Suddenly hearing what Shen Chongming proposed, Gao Gong couldn't help but be shocked, this kid has lost his mind and gone crazy! How about resigning?
Just sent away Bahan Naji, Shen Chongming also knew that it would make Gao Gong feel unacceptable to bring up such a thing immediately, but today outside the city, it was the kind of eyes that his colleagues looked at him, and the most awe-filled was fear, which was a dangerous signal.
Facing the high arch, Shen Chongming would not hide it, and said directly: "Teacher." Although it has been a while since the incident, the shadow left in the hearts of all colleagues has not been able to dissipate, in their eyes, the student is a courtier who holds great power and is more powerful than the emperor, and the student is worried that if this goes on like this, there will be chaos! ”
Gao Gong was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Shen Chongming, who was helpless, and said with a smile: "Chongming, you are too worried, now that the wish of the Queen Mother has been fulfilled, is it too late to be grateful to you?" Before the emperor took power, as long as the queen mother trusted you, it was impossible for others to pour dirty water on you even if they wanted to, and as long as you sat up straight, you didn't have to worry so much at all! ”
"Teacher, as the saying goes, we can't control many things at all, Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe is the best example!" Shen Chongming frowned, and now he said that it was ugly to say that it was a piece of fragrant feces in the eyes of flies, and anything messy would pounce on him, and it would be either or at that time.
As soon as Shen Chongming said this, Gao Gong couldn't help but hesitate, there was some truth!
"But Chongming, then you don't need to resign! Now is the critical time for reform, if you don't guide in the court, it will not be good if there is a deviation! After a while, Gao Gong said: "If you really have such concerns, it is better to listen to the teacher to arrange for you!" ”
"Teacher, what are you going to arrange?" Shen Chongming couldn't help asking, she had also thought about these things, but it seemed that there was no other way than to resign.
"Ask for a knighthood! With your merits, it should not be difficult for the imperial court to make a special exception to seal the king of the county, so that you can also hand over the power in your hands, but you can still sit firmly in the capital to control the situation, which can be described as advancing and retreating freely! ”
"The King of the County!" Shen Chongming couldn't help frowning: "Teacher, can this work?" It seems that our Ming Dynasty does not have a king with a different surname now! ”
Gao Gong smiled: "Of course you can do it with your merits, and this time you are taking the initiative to delegate power, and the officials in the court are naturally happy to see it, isn't it okay if no one objects to this matter?" ”
"That's ...... That's for the best! "Shen Chongming is also a layman, and he has a big and terrifying name to pass on to future generations, which is naturally what he is happy to see.
Early in the morning, Shen Chongming submitted his resignation in front of everyone, and there was an uproar in the court, and Lord Shen, who was in the limelight, would take the initiative to resign.
This matter was a bit sudden, even Zhang Juzheng didn't know it in advance, and then he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the high arch beside him, but in the face of the calm high arch, he didn't get any useful information at all.
"Shen Aiqing, what are you...... How should I be so charming! "The high-ranking Wanli Emperor didn't care, this time he finally had a little more imperial bearing under the cultivation of the Empress Dowager Li, but at this time, Shen Chongming did not play cards according to common sense, and suddenly there was such a thing that he had never seen before, how to deal with it, the little emperor was indeed in trouble.
"Your Majesty, this matter should be discussed by my cabinet first, and then submitted to the emperor for decision!" Zhang Juzheng hurriedly said that the stakes are very high, and he must find a way to understand what is going on before he can make a decision, but he can't just make a decision so easily.
After thinking about it, the little emperor responded: "What Zhang Aiqing said is very true, this matter will be discussed by the cabinet first, Shen Aiqing, you wait a few days before talking!" "The queen mother has long told herself that if you encounter something that even the ministers of the court dare not decide easily, then you must find a way to delay it, and wait for the queen mother to ask her meaning before making a decision.
Such a result was also expected by Shen Chongming and Gao Gong, so at the moment Shen Chongming gave a salute to receive the order, seeing this situation, Zhang Juzheng also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, at least he left himself a chance to understand this matter.
"Lord Shen, what the hell is going on!" As soon as he walked out of the palace, Zhang Juzheng quickly caught up with Shen Chongming and Gao Gong and asked, and at the same time, the officials were also hiding in the distance and holding their necks to look at them, eager to know some information.
Zhang Juzheng's expression was seen by Shen Chongming above the court, and when he heard him ask, he hurriedly smiled: "Don't worry, Lord Zhang, the lower officials have no other meaning, but they feel that they have often been unwell recently, and many things are beyond their strength, so they took the initiative to resign!" ”
How could Zhang Juzheng believe this, he didn't have time to take care of Shen Chongming's face, and immediately exposed: "Lord Shen, don't prevaricate the old man, you are in the prime of life, how can you not be capable?" ”
It's a shame that these words came from the mouth of Zhang Juzheng, who has always been stereotypical, if the second brother said this to Shen Chongming, Shen Chongming would definitely think that he was teasing himself.
"Master Zhang, how dare the lower officials prevaricate about such a big matter, it's really that the lower officials don't want to be as busy as they are now, just thinking that they can be a little more relaxed!" Saying that, Shen Chongming intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the officials who were eavesdropping around him, so far away, how tired these ears are!
Listening to his words and watching his deeds, Zhang Juzheng suddenly understood something? Thinking of these, I couldn't help but feel admiration for Shen Chongming, and the rapid retreat was a good idea, Shen Chongming was able to understand this at a young age, and he was even worse than himself.
"Lord Shen, please listen to the old man, the court really needs a capable minister like you right now, you can't pick on someone because of some other people's opinions!" Zhang Juzheng's words were sincere, and he got along carefully for many days, and he sincerely worshiped Shen Chongming.
"Today, in front of the old man, the old man can promise you, if someone has bad intentions towards you in the future, the old man will not let him go!"
Such cruel words were uttered, but it greatly surprised Gao Gong and Shen Chongming's cognition of Zhang Juzheng, you must know that this Lord Zhang has always been a cautious person, and he showed his heart so clearly, but it was the first time that the world was groundbreaking.
The words have already been said, Shen Chongming naturally can't hide it, and arched his hand: "My lord's kindness, the lower official has a heart, but the words are terrible, the position of the lower official is also very embarrassing, thanks to the first emperor not to give up, here kindness, I, Shen Chongming, as a courtier, have always kept in mind, and now everything that can be done for the court has been done, and I have left it to the court and to Xiaguan himself, but it is a big trouble, and I hope the adults understand!" ”
"Lord Zhang, you don't have to persuade anymore, the old man has already persuaded him, isn't it useless, and Chongming is right, everything he can do has been done, he can be regarded as having fulfilled his duty as a courtier, and Lord Zhang doesn't have to embarrass him anymore!" Gao Gong helped Shen Chongming to speak.
Zhang Juzheng's words were more from the position of the imperial court, and Gao Gong considered more about the interests of his beloved student, and retreated bravely, which definitely outweighed the disadvantages for Shen Chongming, with today's point, it is enough to ensure that he has three generations of glory and wealth.
Zhang Juzheng was silent, after all, Gao Gong's words are also reasonable, and now the Ming Dynasty is also initially on the track, as long as it can develop wholeheartedly according to the current momentum, it is not difficult to surpass the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but it is a pity that the talented Shen Chongming chose to retire at such a young age.
"Lord Shen, although the old saying of the high pavilion is reasonable, but the old man still hopes that you can stay, it doesn't matter if you don't hold an important position, I just hope that you can stay in the capital, once he has something in the court, he still needs your escort!" Zhang Juzheng looked at Shen Chongming with anticipation on his face and said.
At a young age, once Shen Chongming really resigns from his current official position, he will definitely become a highly respected person, although he does not participate in the affairs of the court in the capital, he can also deter Xiaoxiao, and he is good at martial arts, he has won many battles over the years, if he has a noble title, he can also make Siyi dare not raise his troops lightly.
Hearing this, Shen Chongming couldn't help but glance at Gao Gong, this is considered a trouble-free, originally the teacher was still worried about this title, how to talk to Zhang Juzheng? Now that he says this, isn't that what he means?
Besides, the Empress Dowager Li, after listening to the little emperor's retelling, it was also quite shocked, and then her heart was also down-to-earth, because the Empress Dowager was grateful to Shen Chongming and Gao Gong, but for Shen Chongming, who was powerful and could easily mobilize troops and horses without anyone, Empress Dowager Li was still extremely jealous and vigilant in her heart.
However, Shen Chongming took the initiative to resign today, which shows that he does not have such a rebellious idea, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a gratifying and congratulatory event for the royal family.
After thinking about it for a long time, Empress Dowager Li decided this matter for the little emperor, that is, to approve Shen Chongming's resignation, but not to let him leave the capital, but to make a prince live in the capital forever, firstly, it can be reactivated in times of crisis, and secondly, it can also be monitored.
As soon as this matter was decided, a little eunuch reported the matter that Zhang Juzheng asked to see, and as soon as he heard this, the Empress Dowager Li immediately summoned him, and Zhang Juzheng came here, which must also be for Shen Chongming's business.
The two of them have average ideas, so naturally there is nothing to discuss, three times five divided by two, and the matter of Shen Chongming adding the title of prince and fading out of the court's power circle can be regarded as decided.
Surrender your resignation. Although there was no clear answer, Shen Chongming was also rarely relaxed, counting the days, the arrival of his family in the capital was a matter of the last few days, and his heart couldn't help but be happy. Although I don't have the right, I can be with my family all the time since then, and from now on, I must enjoy the life of three wives and four concubines in ancient times, well, yes.
"My lord, Datong is in a hurry!" At this moment, the second brother who was already a squire in the military department came in a hurry, and he didn't even straighten out the crooked official hat, and his image can be described as a mess and lost his official authority.
"Hehe, look, what's making you rush like this!" Shen Chongming couldn't help but smile and said, it seems that he can't do without Miss Xin'er, and someone must discipline him all the time, otherwise this guy won't grow at all.
didn't care about borrowing this stubble, Brother Erdan said directly: "My lord, Wang Chonggu is in a hurry, I will take all the important criminals of Wuwei Sect and hand them over to Datong, this is the list of prisoners, Miss Zhao is on it!" ”
Shen Chongming was stunned, and then grabbed the roster to look at it, and sure enough, Zhao Ziqian's name was written on it.
