Chapter 185: The wishful thinking of King Lu's Mansion

After Zhu Changshu and the concubine Sun Zi negotiated, there was nothing to say that night.

The next day, Shen Shuren was still making some preparations before departure. Before he left Xinyang Mansion, he still had a bunch of military details to deal with, especially to inspect the logistics and supply of the troops. If there are no problems, it will be planned for another day before continuing south.

There is no big mistake in being careful, after all, Shen Shuren will not personally command Li Zicheng's final stage of pursuit, so he must anticipate the enemy's leniency and make sure to do a solid job of logistics before leaving.

He himself came to command the battle, and his subordinate units transported grain and ammunition to replenish weapons and equipment, and he would never dare to be lazy, after all, Shen Shuren's military law was strict. But after he left, who knew that Huang Degong and Zuo Zixiong would be able to mobilize those logistics civil officials?

or passing the buck to each other, or temporarily and urgently allocating supplies, nominally giving them to other friendly forces, and actually taking the opportunity to enrich their own pockets a little, this kind of thing was simply too normal in the late Ming Dynasty. After all, the entire imperial army was accustomed to arrears of pay and hunger.

Because of his busy affairs, Zhu Changshu sent someone to inquire about the news during the day, but he couldn't find Shen Shuren, so he could only leave a message and let the people in the house convey that the prince had sent someone to find him.

After finishing his official duties at night, Shen Shuren returned home and heard about it, so he went to pay his respects.

And the people in the palace have nothing to do every day, and when Shen Shuren went to find it, Zhu Changshu's family was about to rest.

Zhu Changshu got the report, and he hurriedly put on the clothes of the guest and came out to meet him.

After this incident, Zhu Changshu realized how busy Shen Shuren was.

Yesterday's leisure days, it was all time to arrange the work schedule in advance and squeeze it out.

"It really makes sense to be a superintendent at such a young age, this life is really not a human life." Zhu Changshu, who has never worked overtime, couldn't help but sigh before entering the door.

Unexpectedly, Shen Shuren, who was sitting and drinking tea in the living room, was deaf and clear-sighted, while Zhu Changshu had no scheming, and he didn't pay attention to controlling the volume when he talked to himself at home, and was listened to by others.

So Shen Shuren got up in advance, and when he saw Zhu Changshu entering the house, he bowed his hand and saluted: "I went back to worship at night, but it disturbed the prince's dream? The next official will pay for it first."

Zhu Changshu was stunned for a moment, only then did he know that the other party had heard it, and hurriedly said, "It's okay to do something, it's because this king is too idle, and the nephew also knows that the imperial relatives of the Ming Dynasty are all so idle, and they laughed.

Originally, this king did not make friends with civil and military officials, and always thought that they were all things left to the small officials to do, and they only spent the first month and the moon every day, until they made friends with their nephews, and they knew that it was a big mistake, and there were also diligent people."

When Shen Shuren heard this, he corrected it with a solemn expression, and arched his hand towards the north with a solemn expression: "It can't be said that the royal family is all idle, today's saint is a rare diligent government in the past two hundred years, with good clothes and food, and dreams of sleeping at night, and there are few people below Taizu."

Although Xia Guan has not been a Beijing official for a long time, he has also been summoned by the Holy Grace many times, and he has seen and heard it with his own eyes, and it is really admirable that he is so diligent and saintly."

When Shen Shuren said this, he was sincere, and he couldn't be regarded as a sycophant against Chongzhen.

Because he really thinks so, Chongzhen is a person who is diligent and honest, and even first-class, but the problem is just that he loves face, is not responsible, and is too rigid and dogmatic.

But if Chongzhen can learn one-tenth of Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang's flexible moral bottom line, or be shameless by unscrupulous means, coupled with Chongzhen's diligence and perseverance, Daming may still be saved.

Zhu Changshu didn't know much about his emperor's nephew, and when he heard Shen Shuren say this, of course he only praised it sincerely:

"Your Majesty's diligence is unmatched by others! That must be a once-in-a-century experience. Alas, His Majesty is also hardworking, this kind of day is really not something ordinary people can endure, if it ...... Hey, nothing."

Zhu Changshu was a little too emotional about Chongzhen's hard work, and almost said, "If such a hard day is given to this king, this king will definitely not be able to stand it", fortunately, the basic consciousness is still there, and he realized that this kind of thing must not be spoken, and some things cannot be compared, so he accepted it steadily.

How good it is to be a rich and idle king!

Every day, you can play the piano if you want to, and listen to the piano if you want to

If you miss the Buddha, you will read the Buddha, if you want to appreciate the bronze antiques, you will appreciate it, and if you want to write the experience of quyi and antique appreciation, you can write it at any time.

If he becomes the emperor, it is estimated that these hobbies will have no time, and at most only one of them can still be kept playing incense - after all, no matter what the emperor does, he can still do it while smoking incense.

He was afraid that Shen Shuren would think more about it and interpret it more associatively, so he hurriedly diverted the topic: "I came to my nephew again today, and there are really some things to discuss."

Shen Shuren didn't bother with the politeness in front of him, and directly changed his solemn expression: "The prince said."

Zhu Changshu touched his beard, and first explained the purpose and discernment: "Actually, it's like this...... This king and his nephew also hit it off at first sight, yesterday you also saw the little girl, I heard her say, you also talked to her about a lot of the recent situation of the war outside, I want to comfort the king, all her filial piety, right?

The little girl also has a slight impression of her nephew, and she also noticed it last night, so she chatted deeply, and she intended to be a good friend of Qin and Jin, and recruit her nephew as her son-in-law, I don't know what to do? Can we discuss it with Shen Shangshu in Nanjing before making a final decision?"

Shen Shuren was slightly surprised: "Of course, it is an honor for the lower officials to be looked up to by the prince, but will it be hasty?" The county lord and the subordinate officials are only one side, so they won't be wronged. And...... The status of the subordinate is sensitive, and at this time it is so difficult, if you marry other governors, you have to worry about being suspicious of Your Majesty, if it is, ......

Zhu Changshu immediately said the countermeasures discussed last night: "Don't worry about these two points, after all, there is a reason for the incident. The nephew can also be regarded as the life-saving benefactor of my palace, so he said that in the chaos, you saved the little girl, and the little girl was also seen by the nephew.

For the sake of his name, this king will bear it with all his might, and ask His Majesty to give him a marriage, and His Majesty will not ignore his sister's name. The key is that there are some other difficulties, and I am embarrassed to say it - because this king has no children, he has actually always wanted to find a son-in-law for his little daughter.

The nephew is so eloquent, he will definitely not be willing to be a son-in-law, this king thinks, this time, when playing Your Majesty, I will say a few more kind words, and ask Your Majesty to give your nephew a knight and a surname.

In this way, even if the children of the nephew and the youngest daughter are surnamed Zhu in the future, outsiders will not think that this is due to the nephew becoming the son-in-law of the palace, and the reputation and face of the Shen family will never be damaged.

Therefore, the key is whether the nephew is willing to be given the surname by His Majesty, as long as you are willing to nod your head, everything else is easy to say, don't worry about the Shen family, this king will do it all. After the matter is completed, I will give the Shen family another letter of approval, if His Majesty's side does not allow it, it will be treated as if nothing has happened, and it will not be silent for the time being."

Zhu Changshu didn't dare to say anything, after all, on the emperor's side, he could only secretly ask and secretly explain the reason, and give the two sides a step down. But whether the emperor agrees or not, this is uncontrollable.

Zhu Changshu also knew that it was relatively easy for Shen Shuren to talk about it, so he had to secretly unify the attitudes of all parties except the emperor first, and then he could trouble Chongzhen.

Otherwise, Chongzhen has approved it, but the parties have made a fuss, wouldn't it become a self-defeating bully.

What's more, after Zhu Changshu pondered it last night, he also considered a risk: he was also afraid that after he played secretly, Chongzhen would respect Shen Shuren's thoughts, and he was afraid that the Shen family would not be given a surname, so he would not be able to make a decision immediately.

But if Shen Shuren nodded, Zhu Changshu could add one or two more sentences to the recital, suggesting that Chongzhen "Both parties have negotiated this matter, but it is just a difference between the court and the surname", then the probability of Chongzhen's direct agreement will also be greatly increased.

You can't put the difficulties on the emperor to worry about, this is the duty of a minister.

Shen Shuren heard Zhu Changshu say so many details at once, of course he was so shocked that he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, Zhu Changshu looked at him speechless, and thought that he didn't want to be surnamed Zhu in the future, so he could only wait for him to figure it out slowly.

As everyone knows, Shen Shuren has long been willing.

His real name in his previous life was Zhu Shuren, after coming to this world, the physical body was Shen Tingyang's son Shen Lin, who had not yet taken the word at the age of eighteen, in order to retain as much as possible traces of his previous life, he made a deal with his father, and asked Shen Tingyang to give him the word "Shuren" on the condition of reforming himself and learning well.

Even if you got the real name of your previous life back, the surname didn't matter for the time being. But in Shen Shuren's heart, he has always had the idea of being given a surname like Zheng Chenggong in history in the future.

For others, this is abandoning their ancestors, but for Shen Shuren, a traverser, this is an opportunity to change back to his original surname in his previous life.

The only one who suffers is only the cheap father Shen Tingyang in the flesh, after all, a capable son has changed his surname, and no one has been harmed by other words.

But Shen Shuren quickly thought about it, his achievements in this life are more than a hundred times more powerful than Shen Tingyang's obscure son in history. Even Shen Tingyang's own official position was promoted several levels because of his son's help and meritorious service.

If there is no butterfly effect of Shen Shuren, when Shen Tingyang died in Chongzhen, he would have been a Langzhong in the household department in Beijing, but now he has been a scholar in the household department in Nanjing, even if the real power of the household department in Nanjing is small, it is at least equivalent to a servant in the household department in Beijing, and it has reached such a high height two years earlier than the same period in history.

Anyway, Shen Shuren still has a few half-brothers in the body who can inherit the surname of the Shen family, and even if Shen Shuren has multiple sons in the future, he can also leave a few with the surname Shen of his family, so there is absolutely no problem of no one in the Shen family to inherit the incense.

In this way, even if Shen Shuren is given the surname of the country, he has done enough for the Shen family, and Shen Tingyang will definitely not lose.

Thinking about these twists and turns, Shen Shuren was of course willing in his heart, but after all, he still had to pay attention to the feudal filial piety on the surface, so he said:

"The prince raises love, and the lower officials are not allowed, this matter, the lower officials themselves are happy to see it come true, but as a human heir, it is best to send a fast horse messenger to Nanjing first, and get in touch with the father, as long as the father agrees, the lower officials will never object."

Zhu Changshu breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "Shen Shangshu is also a sensible person, and he will definitely understand the difficulties of this king, since there is no problem on the virtuous son-in-law's side, the marriage of the little girl is decided, and what is missing is nothing more than the surname and knighthood of the virtuous son-in-law.

Regardless of whether the virtuous son-in-law is given a knight in the end, in the future, the virtuous son-in-law and the youngest daughter will have a descendant, at least one grandson, nominally inherited to the child who died prematurely in the year of the princess's concubine, and the patriarchal law can also be regarded as the king's own grandson.

In this way, the title of Luwangfu will not be inherited by no one in the future, and it will be cheaper for outsiders to succeed. Anyway, after all, my grandson still has a little bit of the king's blood."
