Ying Nantu has been staying in Jingzhao during this time, and he is very clear about the speculation of Jingzhao officials about the Shen family, and of course he knows even more that Shangguan Yongping and Shangguan Changzhi both have Shen Ning's idea. He bet that these two people didn't like Shen Ning at all, and they couldn't even remember Shen Ning's appearance clearly, they just took a fancy to the Shen family's prosperity!

In this regard, Ying Nantu felt a trace of anger and displeasure, he always had a feeling that the treasure in his palm was regarded by others as a mustard under his feet, and it was very likely that this person would get this treasure, this feeling was too aggrieved for them!

However, Shen Ning never mentioned these gossips in his letters, and she would not care about these trivial matters at all. Seeing that Shen Ning was the same as usual, his trace of anger and displeasure immediately dissipated, and he continued to discuss other things with Shen Ning.

At the end of July, Shen Huashan went to Zhongshu Province to report, Zhongshu Province is on the left side of the Xuanzheng Palace, he is naturally familiar with the way, which is not far from the place where he used to work, one left and one right.

After this morning, Zhongshu ordered Wei Jingyao to wait for Shen Huashan with the officials of Zhongshu Province, as the chief official of Zhongshu Province and Jixian Palace, he still gave Shen Huashan a lot of face for his subordinates on the first day of his tenure - originally at this time, he should have discussed political affairs with Shen Ke, Xiao Houren, Ye Zhengchun and others.

Shen Huashan naturally appreciated Wei Jingyao very much, respectfully greeted him, greeted him, and saw another Chinese scholar Li Sinian, and also nodded and said hello.

Li Si is old and elegant, but he looks like a very standard Dayong official, three years older than him, he was appointed as a Zhongshu Shilang after last year's exam, in terms of age and seniority, he can be regarded as Shen Huashan's predecessor, but Li Sinian did not concurrently serve as a member of the Jixian Palace, and these two people can't say who is more powerful. Anyway, Wei Jingyao treats the two equally.

The rest of the officials of Zhongshu Province, such as the six Zhongshu Sheren, the sixteen living quarters and other officials also came to meet Shen Huashan, the new official, one by one, and they also heard a lot about the Shen family's prosperity. Among them, there are officials who have never seen Shen Huashan, but now they have seen a real person and see him smiling. It turned out to be such a kind old man. I really didn't expect it.

Shen Huashan didn't say anything to these subordinates, he only smiled and nodded, and he didn't rush to look at these subordinates. In the future, he will have a lot of contact with these people, and it is not too late to get along with each other. His eyes swept over Kong Peng, a scholar in the middle school. Shen Yuhong's fellow townsman of Taishan in the future, the relationship of marriage for three thousand miles can be regarded as old.

After meeting the officials of Zhongshu Province, Wei Jingyao took Shen Huashan to Jixian Hall for a turn, in Jixian Palace, Shen Huashan also saw his grandson Gu Wenlan, as well as the freshly baked champion Lou Shenghuai, the champion Lou Shenghuai who had been set by the Xishan Yu clan early, and only nodded tacitly.

Shen Huashan naturally didn't greet them. The editor of the Jixian Palace. The grade is too low, young man, you still have to slowly boil your qualifications.

On the way back from Jixian Palace, Wei Jingyao briefly told Shen Huashan what the Zhongshu Shilang had to do, in fact, the main thing was to assist Wei Jingyao in handling the affairs of Zhongshu Province. The most important thing is to provide the Changtai Emperor with the decision-making of major government affairs, and need to communicate with the emperor from time to time, etc., which is the main responsibility of the Zhongshu Shilang.

This means that the opportunities and time for Shen Huashan to get along with Emperor Changtai have greatly increased! "Although the third-grade officials no longer need to be familiar in front of the emperor, this is also a rare opportunity, and you must also take advantage of it." Wei Jingyao said earnestly that he was still very optimistic about Shen Huashan, and he also mentioned a few words between his words and deeds.

Shen Huashan naturally nodded and said that he would follow the instructions of the chief officer. Although Shen Huashan is already a third-grade official, in front of Wei Jingyao, the middle secretary, he can only be regarded as a junior.

In this way, Wei Jingyao took Shen Huashan and went to the Zichen Hall to meet Emperor Changtai.

Emperor Changtai was very happy to see Shen Huashan, and he couldn't stop praising him for his work in controlling the water in front of the stage, and I was also very proud to have you, a courtier, accompanied by such words, and Emperor Changtai's obviously happy expression.

As soon as Emperor Changtai's words came out, not only Shen Huashan felt weird, but even Wei Jingyao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: Is the emperor good or bad for the Shen family? Long met too much, that is, he put the Shen family on the fire to roast. Is this really the importance that the emperor attaches to his courtiers? Or does it have a deeper meaning? It's hard to say.

However, the old man didn't say anything, and then waited quietly as usual.

After praising Shen Huashan, Emperor Changtai began to inquire about political affairs, Li Sinian was naturally beside him, and there were also Zheng Pucun, the head of the household department, Mu Xiuji, the secretary of Honglu Temple, and others, obviously, they were here, and they had something to do.

"Then the Xining trade route will be temporarily shelved, do you have any objections?" Emperor Changtai said this, it turned out that Emperor Changtai summoned these people to inquire about the Xining Trade Road.

Earlier, several of them had already discussed the issue of whether the Xining trade road would be opened, and Zheng Pucun naturally voted against it because of the shortage of funds in the household department, if he struggled to open up the Xining trade road, it would involve Xining Road, Lingnan Road and other avenues, and involve the financial resources of many states and many people below.

Mu Xiuji has been in office for less than a year in Honglu Temple, and the affairs of Honglu Temple itself are not familiar enough, and he does not have the spare energy to deal with other things.

The decision made by Zhongshu Province referred to the opinions of the Ministry of Household and Honglu Temple, and at the same time checked the newspaper of the Tea and Horse Division, thinking that the mutual market did not start for a long time, and the situation should be stabilized in Xining first, and at the same time, it was afraid that after the opening of the Xining Trade Road, it would be easier for Xiyan to penetrate Dayong, and also made a good suggestion that the Xining Trade Road should not be opened for the time being.

Emperor Changtai originally only asked the officials of the household department to take advantage of the opportunity to explore the way to Xiyan, since most of the officials were against the opening of the Xining trade route, then put it on hold first, and there was nothing to lose.

Shen Huashan actually came to observe this trip, to see what kind of scene the relationship between Zhongshu Province and Emperor Changtai was, he stood aside and listened to Emperor Changtai's decision, and did not open his mouth to express his opinion.

He had already gotten the news of the Xining trade route from Shen Zeyuan and Shen Zeru, in fact, he thought that the imperial court was the most suitable time to open the Xining trade route now, and now Dayong and Xiyan were in the honeymoon period, and they had the experience of mutual markets.

Just listening to Zheng Pucun's meaning, the money and silver in the household department are nervous, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, which is also a helpless thing.

After discussing political affairs, Shen Huashan's task in the morning was over, and when he followed Wei Jingyao, Li Sinian and others to retire to Emperor Changtai, he didn't want Emperor Changtai to leave him alone, and this alone left the rest of the officials stunned.

The glances they looked at Shen Huashan were meaningful.

Shen Huashan's expression was flattered, mixed with a hint of unease, as if he didn't know what Emperor Changtai had left him alone, so he only lowered his eyelids and waited respectfully for Emperor Changtai's question.

"I remember, you have a grandson named Shen Yuhong, who is the first in the second class, right? It should enter the Jixian Palace, why did Wei Jingyao say that there was no such person in the Jixian Palace? Emperor Changtai opened his mouth and asked about Shen Huashan's family affairs!

Shen Huashan didn't expect Emperor Changtai to ask about Shen Yuhong, so he quickly knelt down and replied, "The minister is panicking. The stubborn grandson of the minister is still young, the temperament is undecided, he loves to travel in the mountains and rivers, and he is in his position when he enters the Jixian Palace, and it is better to let the capable people enter it, so the minister does not let him go out. ”

"Twenty years old, not young, Tanhualang Gu Wenlan is only fifteen years old. Who can you marry? Emperor Changtai's words couldn't be heard whether he was happy or unhappy, but such words made Shen Huashan tremble.

But he forcibly suppressed this feeling of fright, and his face was not calm. I saw that he looked slightly distressed, listened to Emperor Changtai's question, and only replied with a glance: "I am married, I am the daughter of the Chengfang Yuan family of Dali Temple." ”

"It's also good to be a member of the Fangyuan family. I remember, Tanhualang Gu Wenlan is still your grandson. Speaking of which, this Tianxia Kui and your Shen family have more or less some relationship......" Emperor Changtai's words were meaningful, he looked at Shen Huashan's forehead as if cold sweat was oozing, and his legs kneeling on the ground seemed to be shaking a little, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth with satisfaction.

"The minister is afraid, the minister is afraid......" Shen Huashan knelt on the ground and kept repeating this sentence, he really didn't know how to answer Emperor Changtai's words, but he kept pleading.

The world can only do the emperor's family, and the Shen family is more or less related, what does the emperor mean by this? ! No matter what Emperor Changtai meant, he knew that Emperor Changtai was beating him, and this was left alone, not a favor, but a life!

Shen Huashan's mind was running rapidly, and he measured the most correct expression, and there were cold sweat dripping on his forehead.

"Well, you don't have to be afraid, it's a good thing to be happy that your children and grandchildren have a chance. I don't have a grandson yet, and I don't know if I have a chance to see the birth of the emperor's grandson......" Emperor Changtai's words changed, like Hui Feng and Chang, and Shen Huashan talked about his children and grandchildren, as if he was an ordinary old man, worried about his children and grandchildren.

"The emperor's spring and autumn period is prosperous, and the candle shines on the ......" Shen Huashan's string of words slipped out, but he didn't dare to take it lightly. did not change the style of speech with Emperor Changtai, his tone was still respectful and panicked, even if Emperor Changtai was talking to him about his grandson's distress, it looked like ordinary people, despite this, Shen Huashan had not forgotten that he was kneeling in the Zichen Palace, how could the emperor's mind be the same as the thoughts of ordinary people?

This pair of monarchs and ministers sat and knelt in the Zichen Hall like this, asking and answering, killing the rest of the morning. I don't know what I'm thinking, and no one knows the truth in the temple.
