Chapter 38: Keep a low profile
"Then Lord Chen must not know...... right?"
Shen Yue smiled faintly, "This letter in your hand was sent to the palace by the Governor of Liu's Mansion in the West for eight hundred miles, and it was sent to the palace at night. Oh, you might be asking againβ"
"According to the time on this fold, this heavy rain has only been falling for a day, is the situation so serious?" Shen Yue missed the courtiers, stepped forward steadily, and pointed to the fold that Chen Qian was holding tightly, "Lord Chen, you may not know yet, just when you were worried that Da Chu was about to miss the good opportunity to marry Yue, the land of Jiangxi had already been washed away by the torrential rain, and five hundred and twelve people had died under the natural disaster!" β
"No matter how dare the grass people be, dare to ask Lord Chen, are these more than 500 people not as important as the ethereal marriage between the two confederations? Or is it that so many lives are left in the Westland, but they are no match for Princess Anle, who is just in a coma? β
In Shen Yue's words, every word was a heart-wrenching argument, and it hit the hearts of everyone present.
Facing the crowd of participants, listening to the whispered words of the people around him, Shen Linzhi's eyes looked at the people in front of him complicatedly, and his heart was already very uncomfortable.
He has always known that his younger brother has always been smart, and his temperament is lively and pleasing, so his father prefers Shen Yue in the neighbors when he was in Jiangnan, and even the servants around him are saying, how good is the second son......
Shen Linzhi's five fingers slowly clenched up, the bent joints turned white, and he shrank his hand under his big sleeve, but his face was extremely peaceful.
He was really unwilling.
Now that he has entered the capital, won His Majesty's favor, and gone to everything in Jiangnan, his future must be prosperous, and he no longer has to be shrouded in the shadow of Shen Yue, but now?
Shen asked him to come again!
It's always so quiet to steal everyone's attention...... As a clothed body, he can go to the temple to discuss matters; He also knew of the floods of the western land; His Majesty even cooperated with him to change his way to demote Chen Qian......
What Shen Linzhi can't see all this for today...... His eyes gradually faded, but they were also a little colder.
Ahead, until the emperor who came to the top opened his mouth, he said, "Shen Yue is very right. β
Chen Qian was forced to retreat, and when he heard this, he couldn't hold it back anymore, and he really fainted when he rolled his eyes.
And later, the brilliance of the last wing in Shen Linzhi's eyes dimmed.
Your Majesty, you are really paving the way for Shen Yue.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
It is estimated that Shufang Hall was the latest to learn about the wind and clouds above the court yesterday, as well as the news that Feng Oak had moved into the main hall of Chu Palace.
Sheng Changning first listened to the demotion of Chen Gan, a scholar of the palace, and couldn't help but sigh idly, "That Chen Qian is really stupid." β
Sure enough, Sheng Changmu is not a vegetarian, he has endured him long enough, where can he not have the heart to clean him up?
didn't come to the sentence "Aiqing is old, it's time to return home" is already considered a grace, if it is her, what if she offends those families, she will also change such a love to her as soon as possible!
Bai Lu listened to her words, and hurriedly waved her hand to signal that she couldn't say this, "Princess...... You can keep your voice quiet, don't look at Lord Chen being degraded, but the Chen family is a family with a head and face in the capital, maybe there are many people in the palace who have been selected...... What about the children of the Chen family! β
Bai Lu thought for a moment before she finished the last sentence.
Sheng Changning smiled, she thought that this girl was Changzhi, if she wanted to say that the Chen family sent in a lot of eyeliner, who would have thought that she was saying that the Chen family has many descendants who are officials in the Chu Palace.
Bai Lu mentioned this, but he also said it to the point.
Whether the Chen family has sprinkled eyeliner in the palace is impossible to investigate, but ...... It is undeniable that whether it is the Chu Palace when his father was still alive ten years ago, or the Chu Palace after Sheng Changmu ascended the throne, it has become a hotbed for the children of all generations.
The capable Pinghan children entering the palace as officials are comparable to ascending to the sky, and there is only one way out. But those powerful families can casually stuff people in the palace with a little use of their connections.
Although they may be useless waste, if they have a good tire, they are superior.
This kind of atmosphere may have been managed by Sheng Changmu, but this root cause has not been cleaned up, and it is basically useless.
Sheng Changning sighed softly.
The eight great families in Shengjing City are intertwined, and it is difficult to eradicate this evil source, which is even more difficult than ascending to the sky.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Two days before Chen Qian was demoted, the second son of the Shen family, the prefect of Jiangnan, was sealed for the Hanlin Academy, and the news of the official from the sixth grade has spread throughout the capital.
Chen Jinlin, who came back from a horse tour, turned over and dismounted, casually threw the horse whip to the house slave who came up, and he hurriedly stepped into the house.
The servant behind him saw him walking so eagerly, for fear that he would fall, and shouted while chasing: "Childe, childe!" Slow down! β
"Daddyβ"
Chen Jinlin didn't care about the people who were screaming behind him, and ran straight to the study to look for someone, and after a circle, he didn't see his father and his grandfather.
Wondering, Chen Jinlin turned around to leave, but unexpectedly bumped into the maid on the side of the corridor, he recognized that this was the maid in his father's yard, and stepped forward and asked, "Cuizhu, where is my father?" β
Cuizhu blessed him, "The master went out early this morning, and he hasn't come back yet, Childe, Madame has been waiting for you for a long time, saying that you will come back and go to the yard, she has something to explain a few words, and there is chicken soup in the kitchen......"
"Don't eat, don't eat." Chen Jinlin shook his hand, and after saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, and the next moment he seemed to think of something, turned around and came back and asked, "Is there anyone from the Xu family today?" β
Cuizhu shook her head: "No." β
Chen Jinlin breathed a sigh of relief, and before Cuizhu wanted to stop him, he ran away and disappeared.
He didn't want to go to his mother's place, the news of his grandfather's demotion must have entered her ears early in the morning, and when she went to his mother at this time, didn't she think the cocoons were too thin?
Chen Jinlin sighed, and a trace of resentment arose in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that my grandfather was always so reckless and rushed against Your Majesty, why would I make Your Majesty angry, and also promoted a nameless boy to replace the official position originally prepared for him in the coming year.
Isn't this unprovoked?
The servant who had been shouting gasped and asked, "Childe, where are you going?" β
"Naturally, I'm looking for my father!" Chen Jinlin gave him a blank look.
His father and his grandfather were nowhere to be seen at this time, and they definitely went to his grandfather's house to discuss countermeasures, according to his grandfather's impulsive nature, maybe he would be ashamed of being humiliated by the yellow-haired child in the court!
He's going to have to stop it......
Chen Xiaogongzi exhaled, patted the black horse with a long mane next to him, and decided not to fight the horse in the street anymore.
For the sake of his grandfather, the Chen family is going to start to be more low-key.
