At the end of April, Shen Zhizhang took office after passing the large and small examinations, and became a five-grade counselor in the imperial court.

I heard that his predecessor was an upright and crooked old man, and because of repeated reports, he suspected that the prince took advantage of the fire to rob the second prince last time and was taken down by the princelings. The quota was vacant, and Shen Zhizhang just went up.

Hearing this arrangement, Jinshu's first reaction was to secretly scold the emperor, an old fox, who really knows how to arrange personnel!

The doctor said that it was better to be called "the woodpecker of the court", and if it was bad, it was "the first bird to shoot the gun". Shen Zhizhang is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, he dares to fight and kill, he just cares if he wants to or not? Put him in this position, he is not afraid of his flattery and gangs, and he is not afraid of offending others and messing with him, after all, it is Shen Zhizhang or the emperor's son-in-law, and he has to weigh his own weight before others engage him.

But this kid is young, a group of tigers. After a month in power, he wanted to make a big move, and directly participated in the official Shangshugan, who had also just ascended, and he was ruthless in corruption.

But people have been in the officialdom for many years, and they can be transferred from a small place to the capital, and climb all the way to the position of Shangshu, and the means can be seen at a glance. Isn't it easy to pack up a rookie who has just joined the company!

So, Lord Gan resolved the contradiction in a few words on the spot, but instead said that Shen Zhizhang was deliberately framed for personal vendetta in the communiqué.

The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked, what kind of personal vendetta is this?

Lord Gan selectively talked about the grievances and grievances between Shen Zhizhang and Gan Lin, and by the way, he gave full play to the charm of language to guide the emperor to subjectively think that it was Shen Zhizhang who retaliated. didn't say anything about breaking Gan Lin's leg at the beginning, but now that he has just taken office, he doesn't say that he will work hard, and the first thing is to retaliate.

Originally, in this scientific expedition, the emperor's bad impression of Shen Zhizhang had changed greatly, but when he heard this, he frowned again: Does a person who temporarily passed the scientific examination by cramming Buddha's feet and passing the scientific examination have the strength? Doing things frizzy and not calm at all! If you don't frustrate his spirit, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed in the future!

Then the emperor scolded Shen Zhizhang bitterly, saying that you don't have evidence, don't go to the good ministers here.

So, the counselor, who had just been in office for a month, was frustrated at this time and was squatting on the steps with a bitter face to look at the flowers and plants in front of the corridor.

Xia Aya glanced at it, and said in Jinshu's ear: "Princess, the slave maid listened to the old lady's meaning, asking you to say a few good words for the master of the horse in front of the emperor." said that it is thanks to the four princesses who helped the queen and the prince on the side of the queen and the prince, and there were many fewer twists and turns in their careers. ”

"No, no." Jinshu shook his head, lowered his head and drank tea leisurely: "I know the depth of the river in person, and I know the sweetness and sour taste of pears with my own mouth." There are some things that he has to try to find his way out, how much can I help him? ”

Xia Aya's eyes flashed, so she had to look at Chun Juan, hoping that she would persuade her one or two more.

Jin Shu noticed the small interaction between the eyes of the two of them, so he took the lead and said: "You don't have to persuade me anymore, people have to fulfill themselves, he is not as stupid as you think, and he will come up with a way in a day or two." ”

"The slave maid believes what the princess says, but the old lady will always have an opinion on the princess." Chunjuan hesitated for a moment but then spoke: "Her old man has pointed out that the princess can help the princess from the beginning......"

Jin Shu raised his hand and rubbed his brows, couldn't help but sigh, and said in his heart: "I can't afford to mess with this, let's pretend to be confused first, I can hide for a while!" ”

Pretending to be confused, she's still doing it.

So the days went on in such a blur.

Sure enough, within a few days, Shen Zhizhang was resurrected again as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and returned to the court. Shen Zhizhang survived the initial difficult adaptation period, and soon became familiar with the court with many years of experience in the rivers and lakes, and slowly became popular. From a smart and ignorant angry young man to a man who is moody and unpredictable.

It's just that as the days go by, the two of them gradually have nothing to say.

At first, Shen Zhizhang would pestering Jinshu at night to complain about some new things in the court, but later before going to bed, the words gradually decreased. Jin Shuben is a person who doesn't like to ask more about things, and he doesn't want to provoke idle things, so he doesn't know anything about what he said about Zhang San and Li Si's new policy reforms and the confrontation between the old party, and he can't say anything except for echoing a few words. Once like this, again and again, after a long time, Shen Zhizhang had no desire to speak. At night, except for a few words of ridicule and venting the physiological needs of young people, the two did not communicate again.

After a long time, the days of Jinshu began to pass boringly. Shen Zhizhang will not block her when she grows up, and there will be no waves in her life through time.

Thinking of this, she got up lazily, hugged the quilt and stared at the faintly swaying figure behind the bed curtain and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"It's time." It was Xiaohuan who answered, and she lifted the bed curtain with a smile and teased Jinshu: "The princess has been sleeping for a long time, and the master has been gone for almost an hour!" ”

"So long?" Jin Shu stretched his waist, and before his hand came out of the quilt, he retracted again: "Why is it so cold today?" She poked her head out of the window to see the white light, and asked, "But it's snowing?" ”

"yes, it was a night last night!" Xiaohuan replied with a smile. The two of them were talking, but they saw Chun Juan hurriedly come in and ask Andao: "Princess, the two ladies of the Hou family suddenly came to invite you to eat soju and barbecue in the Zhuangzi, and they are already waiting in the hall!" ”

"Huh?" Jin Shu was stunned: "Why is it so sudden?" ”

——————————

Either he said that he would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and the barbecue had not eaten enough, and Jin Shu understood the meaning of the invitation of the two ladies of the Hou family - to go through the back door.

Speaking of the people who were brushed off in the scientific examination hall last year, Hou Zhanfei is counted as one. But it will take three years to retake the exam, so their family used some backdoor connections, planning to let him follow the path of Gao Xun, first go to other places to be a petty official, and then slowly transfer back to the capital.

But who expected, the family took care of everything, but Hou Zhanfei was angry and signed up for the army directly. The Hou family is a noble family of Wenchen Qing, and he suddenly came out with such a martial artist, and he really didn't know what to do for a while.

"He's always been that character. Stubborn! After refusing to fall behind, he would rather suffer by himself than rely on his family. Lu Tian's tears fell as he spoke: "But he is a son-in-law, and he hasn't suffered much since he was a child, so we can't watch him earn credit on the battlefield, right?" ”

Jin Shu nodded.

"Originally, he was in the army, and his family didn't say anything. It's good to think about exercising, but seeing that the relationship between the Northern Night Kingdom and our Daliang is getting worse and worse, and I heard that the war is about to start, we are ......" Jiang Zishan gently added: "We just want to see what opportunities we can transfer him out to be a civilian ......"

Jinshu was confused for a moment, and slowly understood what they meant by looking for themselves. The Shen family is a family of military generals, although Shen Zhizhang is now a writer, but there is still a Shen Zhiyan who used to be a major general at home. Even if he is sick for a long time and does not join the army, he always has prestige in the army. Now that Hou Zhan has flown to the army to be a big soldier, and when he fights, it is really possible to be cannon fodder with his son's two sword skills.

"It's ...... tricky."

Jin Shu hesitated for a moment and said: "I don't know if Shen Guogong has the ability to transfer people, but just in terms of the friendship between our two families, those who can help will definitely do their best." However, I will also make it clear, I am afraid that I have no right to speak on this matter, so I will talk to Zhizhang and let him talk to Shen Guogong......"

"Don't ......" Lu Tian hurriedly stopped: "If you tell the horse to know about this, I'm afraid that Zhanfei will be more heartfelt!" ”

"What do you mean?" As soon as Jin Shu finished asking, he had the answer in his heart. Hou Zhanfei and Shen Zhizhang grew up together since childhood, and the two of them are like brothers. Now that a high school official is an official, but the other is off the list to join the army, if you want your former good brothers to help you go through the back door, or rely on nepotism, it will hurt a man's face too much.

"He didn't know about it, and we don't want him to know." Lu Tian lowered his head, and his voice became more and more unconfident: "How proud he is of a person!" ”

Jin Shu was silent, and Shen Zhizhang was the same at this point. But as long as he is a man with backbone, who wants to rely on nepotism to go through the back door?

"We think it's best not to let Shen Ergongzi and Zhanfei know about this matter, so as not to hurt the relationship between their brothers." Jiang Zishan sighed again and said: "But Shen Guogong is not in good health, so he rushed to go for fear of disturbing his recuperation, and we are not very familiar with Duchess Shen, so we are really helpless, so we came to ask the princess for help." ”

"This ......" Jin Shu fell into thought. Do you want her to hide from Shen Zhizhang and go directly to Shen Zhiyan to talk to her, to operate in a dark box, and to exempt Hou Zhanfei from military service? But what she usually advocates the most is that "everyone has their own creation", and even Shen Zhizhang doesn't open the back door. But this time it's Shen Zhizhang's best buddy who wants to help, and the good things that people's wives and sisters-in-law have said to this point, besides, there are really no eyes on the battlefield, if there is any accident, it will end in tragedy.

Jin Shu sniffed, smelled the tempting aroma of barbecue, and sighed in his heart. She smiled helplessly and said: "Don't worry, the two ladies are in a hurry, seeing that the New Year is approaching, there may not be a war." I'll talk to Grandpa Guo about this matter first, and see if he has a way to decide, how about it? ”
