31, the gold medal for avoiding death is just a blank check
In the eyes of others, this death-free gold medal seems to be quite precious, but in Shen Cong's eyes, this death-free gold medal is not a fart, it is just a blank check. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since this death-free gold medal was issued by Zhu Yuanzhang, the final interpretation is still in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands, he said that this gold medal is useful if it is useful, he said that this gold medal is useless if it is useless, what can you do with it?
Shen Cong is very clear, in the founding period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an iron coupon for the meritorious heroes - Danshu iron coupon, the iron coupon is shaped like an arched tile, divided into seven sizes according to the grade, the whole iron coupon is inlaid with gold characters, the outside of the iron coupon is engraved with the resume, merit, and favor of the recipient, which is used to record the merits, and the middle part is the most important, engraved with the number of exemptions from death, exemption from crime, and reduction, which is used to remind and prevent mistakes.
This iron coupon can be used to offset crimes, such as a capital crime, reduced by five points; The second is guilty of a capital crime, and Lu Mi is not paid at all. Son, if you commit a capital crime, you will not pay for it. There are a total of ninety-seven pairs of iron coupons, which are divided into two parts, the one on the left is awarded to the meritorious heroes, and the one on the right is collected in the palace house.
After more than ten years of bloody storms, the founding heroes of the rest of the war held the iron coupons in their hands, naively thinking that the Daming country that they exchanged for their flesh and blood would forever be blessed to him and their descendants, but no one expected that when the nightmare opened from then on, this "death-free ticket" eventually became their "life talisman".
Zhu Yuanzhang's Shen Cong knows too much, he is so aggressive about the heroes, not to mention the Shen family, who still hates it to the bone, I am afraid that this gold medal is also his own talisman.
Liu Bowen and Song Lian didn't show a very happy expression after seeing that Shen Cong got the death-free gold medal, on the contrary, they were a little sullen, and the two couldn't help but be stunned: "Shen Gongzi, Your Majesty gave you the death-free gold medal, this is a great honor, you must know that this death-free gold medal is never given easily, why are you not happy." ”
"Don't hide it from the two adults, this death-free gold medal grass people will never dare to accept it, Your Majesty founded the country, and opened a Danshu iron coupon to reward meritorious ministers, the Shen family has no virtue and no talent, what capital does it have to use Your Majesty's favor, please take back this death-free gold medal." Saying that, Shen Cong immediately handed the hot talisman to Liu Bowen.
Liu Bowen was embarrassed, this person wanted to ask for a gold medal for avoiding death, it was as difficult as the sky, today such a good thing happened to Shen Cong's head, he didn't dare to accept it, what kind of person is this?
If the news of this death-free gold medal spreads out, then the official history at all levels and even the imperial court will not be allowed to place all kinds of charges on the Shen family at that time, and it is better not to have such things.
Shen Cong was still drinking tea happily and didn't speak, but Song Lian and Liu Bowen were a little difficult.
They originally planned to use this death-free gold medal to negotiate conditions with Shen Cong and let him open the Shen family's shop, but today they still don't want it, and now they can only put forward another condition.
Song Lian smiled slightly to break the embarrassing atmosphere: "Your Majesty has long expected that Shen Gongzi may not accept this death-free gold medal, so he has prepared another reward, Your Majesty promised to reward the Shen family with a gold mine, I don't know what Shen Gongzi feels about this condition?" ”
As soon as he heard this condition, Shen Cong's eyes lit up, this is a good thing, compared with the death-free gold medal, this gold mine is a real good thing, and the Shen family can rely on this gold mine to develop the gold and silver jewelry industry in the future.
"Shen Cong, thank you for the reward, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Shen Cong got a satisfactory result, and quickly stood up and knelt down and shouted long live.
Liu Bowen and Song Lian glanced at each other, both of them showed disdainful expressions, and they were indeed businessmen, covered with copper stench.
"Shen Gongzi, the matter of the Shen family's shop ......." Liu Bowen helped Shen Cong up and asked.
Shen Cong nodded again and again: "That will definitely be opened, don't worry, the grass people will order someone to open the shop, if the two adults don't worry about the grass people, then you can wait until the shop opens and you are leaving." ”
"With Shen Gongzi's words, then we can rest assured, the two of us don't come to Chang'an often, of course we have to play here after today's things are done." Liu Bowen naturally had to see the Shen family's shop open before he could leave with confidence, so he thought he had found an excuse.
Shen Cong understood this, but he didn't say anything, and the three of them chatted again.
A week later, the Shen family's shop and other shops in the Chang'an area have been completely opened, and life in the Chang'an area has returned to a normal level.
Shen Cong personally sent them out of Chang'an City and came to Shili Pavilion.
In this situation, Shen never couldn't help but chant:
On the side of the ancient road outside the long pavilion, the grass is green.
The evening breeze blows the willow flute, and the sunset is outside the mountain.
The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintance is half scattered.
A scoop of turbid wine is all over the place, don't dream cold tonight.
"These words recited by Shen Gongzi are very beautiful." Liu Bowen and Song Lian couldn't help but praise after listening to the recitation: "Shen Gongzi is so talented, he can become a generation of people, if Shen Gongzi can enter the court as an official, how good it would be." ”
Looking at Liu Bowen and Song Lian, Shen Cong was quite reluctant, during the time he spent with the two of them, some of the qualities of the two of them deeply affected him, loyalty and patriotism, and affection and friendship, all of which were touching.
"Two adults, do you remember the words that Shen Cong interpreted for you at the banquet when you first came to Chang'an?" Shen Cong took the hands of the two and said solemnly: "I chatted with the two adults very happily, I really don't want to see the fate of the two adults in the future, I hope that the two adults must remember Shen Cong's words." ”
"Shen Gongzi?" Looking at Shen Cong's stern expression, Liu Bowen and Song Lian's heart also sank, what did this Shen Gongzi know?
"As the saying goes, it is really a blessing to take a step back and open the sky, in a place where no one knows you, to give up all worldly power and live happily." Shen Cong said with a sigh.
"Shen Gongzi, the two of us feel that you are talking quite mysteriously, what will happen to the two of us, you might as well speak up." The more Liu Bowen and Song Lian listened, the more they felt that Shen Cong was mysterious, and guessed that Shen Cong must know something.
"I have seen the sages since ancient times, and they have died without retreating." Shen never answered the questions of the two, just chanted aloud, and then immediately turned away, leaving the two of them stunned in place.
