"Although the heavenly family is ruthless, the emperor today is a rare benevolent king. Not only is it kind to others, but it is also filial piety. He didn't know that the Queen Mother was critically ill, if he knew, not only would he not insist on being in charge at this time, but he would also blame himself and think that he had failed the Queen Mother's teachings. And the Queen Mother is also a rare virtuous queen. The reason why she can't let go of the government is that she is afraid of the 300,000 army in the hands of King Zhen'an - I think that at the beginning, King Zhen'an supported King Jin as the emperor. Now that I am at war with the Yuan and Mongolian people in the northwest, since we can't change generals on the spot, we can only wait for the war to end. In the past, the Queen Mother felt that the emperor was too young and had time to train slowly, but now she doesn't treat her, and her thoughts will be a little different...... The importance of the country, not only the foreign officials, the soldiers, but now the queen mother has handed over the personnel promotion to the emperor, with the emperor's wisdom, she should soon understand the deep meaning...... Once the knot between the mother and son is untied, at this time, if anyone shouts for the queen mother to return to power, in the emperor's heart, he is a villain who is plotting to trap him in injustice in order to keep his name; But if anyone does not support the emperor's pro-government, in the queen mother's heart, he is a counselor who disregards the state and society for personal interests...... Either way, it's not right......"

That's big news!

Shen Muqing pressed his face tightly against the hollow fan, watched Shen Zhen talk through the thin gap, and looked at Mr. Min and nodded again and again.

"It's like walking on a single-plank bridge, too left can't make it, too right can't make it......"

"Not bad!" Shen Zhen smiled coldly, "Now it's up to Wang Shengyun to act." If he takes this opportunity to write a letter and ask the emperor to take charge of the government, we can help him and encourage Huaixi officials to play a twist, and even cause a public discussion in the court......"

"And the most taboo thing for the Queen Mother is that the ministers collude together and swarm for or against one thing!" Mr. Min groaned.

Shen Zhen's voice was cold, "We have to do two things now. The first is to think of a way to hand over the news that the queen mother invited a doctor to enter the palace from outside without alarming others; The second is to start writing a Chen song, after the end of the war in the northwest, how to settle the troops in the hands of King Zhen'an...... Once the Queen Mother asks, it is necessary to answer it without leaking. ”

"This first thing, I'm afraid it's only proper to go the way of the inner court." Mr. Min pondered, "This second thing is ...... if you have to sum it up well."

Shen Zhen paced with his hands in his hands: "Since the founding of Emperor Taizu, the tuntian system has been implemented, and most of the generals in the army are hereditary, and the relationship is complicated...... In addition to King Zhen'an, Qin Wei, Duke of Fuyang, Liang Yuan, Marquis of Dingyuan, and Bo Zeng Ju of Sincerity are also quite prestigious in the army after their meritorious deeds in both civil and military affairs. In particular, Liang Yuan, the Marquis of Dingyuan, is now serving under the command of King Zhen'an, and has long been dissatisfied with King Zhen'an's toughness...... If these three people can be used to replace the king of Zhen'an, and then persuade the emperor to open a martial arts and enter the Shike, so as to recruit talents and fill the army, it is not impossible to gradually break the situation of the king of Zhen'an in the army......"

"Brother Shiming and I went together...... just persuaded the emperor to open the martial arts department, but I was afraid that the queen mother would not agree. This is, after all, a violation of the ancestral system...... The Great Zhou Dynasty was founded for more than 100 years, and only once on the 60th birthday of Emperor Wuzong in the 46th year of Yuan Qi......"

"There is no precedent, we all have to write a precedent. What's more, if there is such a precedent, it will be even more likely. When the time comes, it's up to us to write ......"

Shen Muqing had long since lost the excitement he had when he first eavesdropped.

Her face grew solemn.

It turned out that Shen Zhen wanted to take advantage of the contradiction between the empress dowager and the emperor to attack his political rival Wang Shengyun, the leader of the Huaixi faction. However, Yuan Sheng, the king of Zhen'an, was also brought in, and this bureau was not too big.

This is not a modern society that stresses democracy and freedom, the society under the feudal imperial system is composed on the basis of clans, and the practice is "finished under the nest". If you win, you can certainly ascend to heaven, but what if you lose......

A sense of fear rose in Shen Muqing's heart.

Of course, she is not so naïve, thinking that Shen Zhen, who gives people a feeling of spring breeze, can be as amiable, gentle and pure as his image if he can enter the cabinet and be in charge of the household department, but he is so deeply involved, but she did not expect it.

In the past few years, she has seen and heard a lot in the Shen family. Today is still a guest, tomorrow is a prisoner...... It was last year that Zhou Wei, the right attendant in charge of the river in charge of the Ministry of Industry, ended up in exile for his whole family because of "unclear accounts"!

Shen Muqing seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, his face was pale, and his whole body trembled.

She couldn't help but pray secretly in her heart. Pray that things will really develop as Shen Zhen and Mr. Min planned...... After all, she is also a member of this family, and she is also a member of Shen Zhen's umbrella......

After a while of whispering, the two quickly walked away.

Shen Muqing looked at the room that had been restored to coldness, let out a long sigh, and then went out of the hall, opened the corner of the curtain and looked out.

The sky has completely darkened, the outside of the house is quiet, there is no light, and there is no human figure, only the rustle of the wind blowing the bamboo leaves, looking into the distance, the inner courtyard of the Shen Mansion is hidden in a darkness, and the occasional candle flame flickering in the meantime, the silence is a little gloomy.

When you come, you take two maids with you, and you can't go back alone when you leave...... It's not just that the Li family is not easy to explain, but Luomei and Jinxiu are gone, and they are afraid that they will be scared to death...... Since Shen Zhen instructed the little servants not to approach, he didn't want this kind of thing to be known, so it was best to pretend not to know......

Shen Muqing endured the biting cold wind outside the house, and continued to look out through the crack in the door curtain.

It took her a moment to see three dark shadows cowering as they approached.

The purple gold earrings hanging from Luomei's ears flashed a golden light from time to time in the faint light.

Shen Muqing breathed a sigh of relief, lifted the curtain and walked out.

"It's getting late, let's go back to Chaoxi Hall! and lest the wife wait. Shen Muqing looked casual.

Luomei and Jinxiu responded with a "yes", and followed Shen Mu out of Jiusizhai.

Agarwood stood in front of the house and scratched his head: "...... Why is it that the girl is the first to come out before the master...... But Miss Luo Mei asked me not to say anything to Miss Jinxiu and ask nothing......"

"What are you muttering there?" Suddenly, someone patted Agarwood on the shoulder.

Agarwood was startled and looked up.

Standing in front of him was a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and strong, dressed in a brand new parrot green silk jacket, and looking at him with a smile.

Agarwood breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "This black light is blind, Brother Zhou wants to scare people to death!" ”

This person's name is Zhou Baimu, the youngest son of Zhou Bing, the steward of the Shen family, who has been active since he was a child, and has practiced a good kung fu with the nursing home, and has been a long-term follower by Shen Zhen's side.

"I don't do bad things in my life, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. What are you afraid of? Zhou Baimu smiled, "I saw you just now as if you were accompanying the girl in the girl's house...... Who is it? ”

Agarwood nodded and said with a smile: "One is the girl who falls plum, and the other is the girl who is splendid!" ”

"Oh......" Zhou Baimu looked disappointed.

When Shen Muqing returned to Chaoxi Hall, Chaoxi Hall caused a brief commotion.

There are those who shout "the girl is back", there are those who trot all the way to the main house to report the news, and those who also come forward to greet her, no matter what the situation is, everyone's expressions are relieved and relaxed.

Looking at this situation, I am afraid that the Li family sent someone to find him......

Shen Muqing thought about it, and saw Aunt Chen hurriedly greet her: "Where is the girl...... The old man came back, but the girl was missing, and the lady was very anxious......"

Shen Muqing didn't want to talk about it more, and said with a smile: "This is really a mistake......" said while entering the house with his aunt, "I went to Brother She's first, and then went to my aunt's side...... went around in circles...... In the end, it is not as fast as the old man's feet. ”

"This kid is just a dead eye." The Li family, who was standing in the middle of the hall with the help of Shen Zhen, saw Shen Muqing, who was accompanied by Aunt Chen, and said angrily, "Seeing that it is dark, I can't find the master, and I will come back...... Let us worry about ...... in vain"

Shen Muqing looked at Shen Zhen's face that was smiling at her like March Jiang Nanchun, and was in a trance for a moment, and then stepped forward to salute the Shen couple: "It's all my daughter's fault!" ”

Shen Zhen smiled warmly, and his eyes were loving: "Okay, okay, just come back!" As he spoke, he said to Li: "In my own home, I'm afraid that I won't be able to lose it!" You're just too anxious. If I don't stop it, won't I be able to find it myself...... It's not early, my sister has been supported by you for half a day, she should be hungry, let's set the meal! ”

******

At night, Shen Muqing didn't sleep well and always dreamed. One would dream that he was sitting in a sunny classroom learning English, and the next he dreamed that he was paraded through the streets with chains by the officials. The scene is fragmented, and it's all bad. When she went to greet Li early in the morning, she deliberately picked out a delicate goose-yellow narrow-sleeved gown.

When she arrived, Shen Yuerong and Huang's mother were already one step ahead of her, standing under the eaves and waiting. The two saw Shen Muqing and saluted her, and Shen Yuerong smiled: "Mrs. just got up and is combing her hair!" ”

Shen Muqing returned the gift to Shen Yuerong, exchanged a few words with her, and the orange fragrance came out: "Mrs. let the two girls in." ”

Shen Yuerong let Shen Muqing go ahead, Shen Muqing let Shen Yuerong go first, the two were polite, and in the end, it was Shen Yuerong who was in front, and the two entered the house together.

Li had finished grooming, probably because Shen Yuerong wanted to come to ask for peace, so he didn't lean on the bed as usual, but sat on the inlaid nanmu plank bed near the window.

The two stepped forward to greet the Li family, and the Li family asked Shen Yuerong with concern, "Did you sleep well", "The thoughtfulness of the maids' service is different and thoughtful", and Tian's mother brought the big house to greet the Li family, and naturally there was a commotion.

The Li family left Shen Muqing, Shen Yuerong and Dashe to eat.

During the banquet, they kept talking about the difference between the diet of the north and the south, but they never mentioned what Shen Yuerong asked for yesterday. Several times, Shen Yuerong turned the conversation to his hometown in Taicang, and was diverted by the Li family again.

After eating, Tian's mother took Dashe back to Rongyin Hall, and Li asked Aunt Chen to accompany Shen Yuerong's master and servant back to Xiangpu Garden: "I called someone from the needlework class to make clothes for the four girls - Kyoto is not as good as Jiangnan, and the weather in September is cold, so be careful of being sick." ”

Aunt Chen was busy.

Shen Yuerong followed Aunt Chen with a disappointed face.
