Chapter 106: Punished
Chapter 106 Punished
Zhao Ying turned around and went upstairs, not giving Shen Mingren a chance to catch up.
In Shen Mingren's eyes, there was a bit of a sense of desertion and escape.
The little girl's family was shy and didn't know how to face it, so she simply hid.
He was complacent, of course he didn't want to chase after him, so he let Zhao Ying go.
Song Leyi won't stay in the house and wait for her so honestly, but she doesn't know what she wants to do.
But who would have thought that she quietly followed out, and when she hid, she heard those words.
She was so angry that her face was pale, and she didn't know how much effort it took to resist the urge to rush up and scold Shen Mingren, and go back to the private room first.
Zhao Ying pushed the door in, and saw Song Leyi's face at a glance, her dark eyes rolled, and she immediately understood.
She sat down at the round table and sighed helplessly: "How can my cousin learn to listen to the corner?" โ
Song Leyi became more and more angry, and glared at her angrily: "If you are someone else, you can do whatever you like, I don't even bother to listen to a word!" โ
Although Zhao Ying didn't know what she was worried about, she was afraid that Shen Mingren would lie to her with clever words?
Most of it was for Shen Mingren and Zhao Wan's gossip.
Shen Dianchen's father and son are really not smart enough to do this.
She chuckled and planned to coax Song Leyi to say a few words, but Song Leyi didn't give her a chance to speak, and asked her again in a cold voice: "Do you like Shen Mingren?" โ
He asked......
The corners of Zhao Ying's raised lips flattened a little, and the smile in her eyes faded: "No." โ
"Then after hearing such frivolous and abrupt words, you should leave immediately, return to the emperor, and ask the emperor to punish him!"
Hearing Zhao Ying say no, Song Leyi's face eased slightly, but her tone was still stiff.
Zhao Yingxin said that she guessed it again, handed her hand forward, and held Song Leyi's hand: "People reveal their hearts, it means that I won't marry, do I still have to push people to Zhao Wan's side?" โ
"You ......"
Song Leyi twisted her eyebrows, carefully tasted Zhao Ying's two sentences, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "You mean ......?"
She gasped: "Then you are also confused!" โ
Zhao Ying sighed: "Why are you still confused?" โ
Song Leyi took out her hand and looked at her coldly: "Shen Ge Lao has been attacking you several times, knowing that the emperor favors you, knowing that His Royal Highness King Yan is facing you, he is still making things difficult for you in the court, and taking the lead in impeaching you, do you want to rely on Shen Mingren to ease relations with him?"
Don't forget, when the Sili Academy was set up, Shen Mingren was angry with Shen Ge Lao and wanted to persuade you to stop, didn't you still tell me? โ
"I never thought of having a good relationship with Shen Dianchen."
Zhao Ying's sneering voice was very short, and a tone squeezed out of her nose quickly dissipated into the air.
The elbow of her right hand rested on the edge of the round table, and her palm supported her cheek: "He's a stubborn hard stone, and I don't have the confidence to move him."
Besides, the so-called stability of the court is based on the premise that the scholars are at their peak.
My father is now in the prime of life, and Shen Dianchen, as the first assistant of the cabinet, never mentions the matter of establishing a prince, and the hundred officials in the court will not mention it, but he will always mention it in the future, right?
When the matter of Lichu is mentioned on the surface, the battle for the heir of the brother wall is indispensable, and no matter who Shen Dianchen has a relationship with, he can be regarded as a favorite. โ
"You understand everything, it's quite Shen Mingren's bastard words?"
"But Shen Dianchen is Shen Dianchen, Shen Mingren Shen Mingren, it's different." Zhao Ying sighed again, "I scolded him today, went to my father to sue him, really waited to see him marry Zhao Wan, and from now on he will help the Jiang family?" โ
She spoke contradictory before and after, and Song Leyi's eyebrows, which had not been stretched, became more and more frowned: "What kind of Jiang family does he help, isn't Shen Ge the first one to disagree?" โ
"Shen Dianchen disagreed, didn't he also acquiesce to the rumors of Shen Mingren and Zhao Wan outside?"
Zhao Ying raised his eyelids and looked over: "He wants to make Shen Mingren still the lord and continue the glory of the Shen family, and among the sons and nephews of his Shen family, besides Shen Mingren, who else can handle it?"
He is the first assistant of the cabinet, and he wants to be upright and fair, but the Shen family will be handed over to Shen Mingren in the future.
Can Shen Mingren get to his current position, can he be promoted by himself alone, can he send Shen Mingren to the cabinet single-handedly? โ
I'm afraid it won't work.
Among these juniors, there are also Song Yunjia and Song Huaiyong who are first-class, and now that Xue Xianting has the credit of the northwest, he must also be counted.
Shen Mingren is indeed outstanding, but there are only a few positions in the cabinet, even if it is a change one by one, before Shen Dianchen withdraws from the cabinet, there may not be extra positions left for him.
So here's ......
Song Leyi's breath stagnated: "In this way, why isn't he biased?" Shen Ge really has this intention, so in his heart, isn't he already tied the future of the Shen family to the Jiang family? โ
"That's why I can't let Shen Mingren marry Zhao Wan." Zhao Ying saw that she understood, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "I don't have any likes or dislikes for Shen Mingren, I don't like it or not, but if you want to push people to Zhao Wan's side and watch him and the Jiang family board a boat, it won't work."
Things in the court are always changing rapidly, and it is better to have more friends than many enemies. โ
But friends aren't that easy to make.
Song Leyi was a little worried: "When he said these words, if you don't refute him immediately, do you really plan to do it in the future...... Marry him? โ
She couldn't understand it.
Previously, Zhao Ying was reluctant to see Shen Mingren, and she also asked twice in private, but Zhao Ying was vague and perfunctory, and seemed to be very reluctant to mention this matter.
Later, she thought that there should be nothing to like or dislike, after all, the emperor and the queen mother were angry about the choice of horses, and Zhao Ying moved out of the palace for this reason.
Zhao Ying said from the beginning that she was nothing more than a loving heart that she was unwilling to shirk the Queen Mother.
So she didn't ask again, and Shen Mingren's matter seemed to be over.
But for now......
"Even if you don't plan to marry him, you can't avoid being false and wronged with him, you want to be friends with him, don't push him to Zhao Wan and the Jiang family to become your enemy, you have to give him some benefits to get along."
Song Leyi made a bitter face: "Yuan Yuan, you are playing with fire." โ
Xue Xianting is about to return to Beijing, his terrible temperament, knowing this, some of them are making trouble.
"When he said such a thing, the Jiang family and Zhao Wan knew, and this thought was naturally broken."
Jiang Chengde is not so easy to speak.
Shen Mingren's words were undoubtedly a slap in the face.
Especially a few days ago, Shen Mingren clearly had nothing to say about this matter, and he had seen it in private, and he didn't say anything.
The result?
Now that the conversation has changed, where does Jiang Chengde put Jiang Chengde when he says this kind of thing?
With Jiang Chengde's temperament, Shen Dianchen still wants to maintain a subtle peace with the Jiang family, which is even more difficult than ascending to the sky.
The Shen family can't be friends of the Jiang family, and in the future, Jiang Chengde will be regarded as enemies in his eyes.
The enemy of the enemy is naturally a friend.
Even if she is cold to Shen Mingren for a long time, this truth will not change.
ยท
Shen Mingren was reprimanded.
The matter of Yunyi Lou spread like that.
At first, there were no waves, but after about three or five days, the discussion gradually increased, alarming many people.
Shen Mingren's excerpt is still on Song Yunjia.
In fact, Song Huaiyong also carried a book of recitals in his arms that day, and he also participated in Shen Mingren's play, but Song Yunjia moved one step faster than him, and his book of recitals was not presented to Emperor Zhaoning again.
When Emperor Zhaoning heard about this in the Taiji Palace, his face turned dark, and he immediately scolded Shen Mingren out of the Taiji Palace.
After the reprimand of the golden palace, he issued an order to punish him.
Shen Mingren's official was reduced to a grade, confined to his home for one month, and Shen Dianchen was fined for one year.
This man is a big loss.
For a while, the courtiers were even more discussed.
It was originally a matter of love for children, not to mention that Zhao Ying was fourteen, and he was going to have a ceremony next year, why couldn't he talk about marriage?
Shen Mingren can be regarded as a famous family, even if he is shorter than Xue Xianting, he will not be unworthy of the master.
If it's really a concubine, isn't it a good couple?
But look at Emperor Zhaoning's attitude......
Princess Yongjia is just the pearl in his palm.
If people confess, they will have to be demoted, and even Shen Dianchen was reprimanded for having no way to teach his son, which is obviously the meat of his heart.
Then Shen Mingren wants to take a piece of meat from the emperor's heart, isn't it unlucky?
There was a commotion outside, and the Shen family didn't stop.
Shen Dianchen asked for family law and beat Shen Mingren in the family ancestral hall, as if he wanted to beat people to death.
He was angry, no one dared to come up and persuade him, Shen Mingren was pulled by the rattan and almost fainted several times, but he refused to change his words.
When Shen Dianchen's temperament gradually faded, he looked at his son's flesh and blood blur, and he was indifferent: "Yes, yes, yes, what you said is very right, even if you die of this heart and change this mouth, it will not be useful!" โ
The rattan is extremely painful when it is pumped on the body, not to mention that Shen Dianchen is really ruthless and beats people to death.
But Shen Mingren is young and has a good physical foundation.
This time he was lying on the ground, although there was no blood on his face, his forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, and even three or two drops rolled off the tip of his nose, but he could barely hold on and still speak.
Shen Dianchen was condescending, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was yin and yang.
Shen Mingren's heart twitched.
This is his biological father.
What he did humiliated the Shen family, and even more shamed him.
So you want to kill him, and you want to kill him.
Shen Mingren almost didn't sneer, but fortunately, he could still keep his senses and knew that he couldn't anger Shen Dianchen anymore, otherwise he might really die.
He breathed a few breaths, and when he spoke, he was also weak, his voice was very low, and there was a burst of pain from time to time for the injuries on his body, and occasionally his voice was broken: "My father is the most understanding person, blindly asking me to change my words, asking me to admit my mistakes, but I don't know, what does my father want me to admit my mistakes?" โ
Shen Dianchen was really stimulated by him, and as soon as he raised his hand, he pulled down a rattan stick.
Shen Mingren gasped: "Even if my father kills me today, things are already like this."
The words I said to His Royal Highness are difficult to collect, not to mention that now that it is in the Taiji Hall and in front of the emperor, even if you kill me, doesn't the emperor think that you have no way to teach your son? โ
How could Shen Dianchen not be angry?
He is the first assistant of the cabinet, and of course he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven.
Emperor Zhaoning's estrangement from him in recent days, although not all of them are in plain sight, he can really feel it.
Whether it was personally criticizing the affairs of the Sili Academy, or refuting him several times in the palace, and then this time he was punished for this kind of thing.
This does not bode well.
"I really have no way to teach my son, I knew that you were so unbearable, I shouldn't have taken you back to the capital back then, and I have raised you to this day, and you have become a scourge."
He gritted his teeth and raised his hand to fight again, just to vent his anger.
The temperature in Shen Mingren's eyes faded: "Then why don't my father beat me to death?" โ
He tilted his head and tried to raise his eyes to see: "Instead of beating me to death and regretting taking me back to Beijing here, my father should think about how good this matter is." โ
Shen Dianchen's raised hand was gently put down after all, and the rattan in his hand did not fall on Shen Mingren again.
Shen Mingren closed his eyes slightly, but he was actually secretly relieved.
If you really smoke him a few more rattans, the injuries on his body don't need Emperor Zhaoning to ban his feet, and if he doesn't raise him on the bed for a year and a half, I'm afraid it won't get better.
"The Queen Mother wanted to choose a horse for Her Royal Highness that day, and she liked me very much, otherwise the Jiying Palace banquet would not have specially ordered me to go to the palace with my father."
Shen Mingren's voice paused slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief before continuing: "I don't know my father's intentions and painstaking intentions, but the second princess is not Mrs. Jiang's own child, and she just has the reputation of an adopted daughter."
When my father took a look at His Royal Highness, he should always understand, where did the royal forbidden court get so many true feelings?
The Jiang family is using the second princess to win over her father, and her father knows it.
That day, I met His Royal Highness in Yunyi Building, I was indeed in a hurry, so I blurted out these inner words, causing today's incident, my father wanted to blame me for being thoughtful, and asked the family law to blame me, I didn't dare to refute a word.
But Father, should my sincerity not see the light of day? โ
Shen Dianchen was shocked.
Wholehearted.
Who didn't have a true heart when he was young?
He squinted and looked down at Shen Mingren.
He has never really liked this son, even if he is young and promising, the imperial examination high school, and he has also added glory to the Shen family over the years, but he is by no means a good son.
Not deferential enough, not open enough.
"Do you really like Celestia?"
Shen Dianchen asked coldly, Shen Mingren didn't open his eyes and stopped looking at him.
Father and son, who doesn't know whom?
His affection is as deep as the sea pretending in front of Zhao Ying to deceive the little girl who has no personnel.
If you really want to fool him, the first assistant's father, it's still quite difficult.
Shen Mingren took a deep breath: "Of course, I also think that she is the emperor's palm, but I am not completely sincere to His Royal Highness, so what does my father suspect?" Do you suspect that I want to cling to His Highness and the Holy Grace, which will be detrimental to the Shen family in the future? โ
