Shi Chong got down from the court and rushed directly to the Chefu Office.

In the Chefu Bureau, Shu Yan sat in front of the bookcase, flipping through a booklet full of numbers in one hand, and carefully calculating something with an arithmetic chip in the other. Since the decree was made, he has made great efforts to rectify the chaos on the road. At present, the streets and streets in Luoyang City are standardized and orderly. Although he has achieved certain results, he is not satisfied with the status quo, and has further plans, wanting to count the number of all official cars in Luoyang City, so that he knows it in order to better manage it.

Shi Chong came from outside. His boss came down to inspect the work, Shu Yan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly got up to greet him, invited him to the upper seat, and served tea. Of course, Shi Chong didn't bother to drink the broken tea here, he looked at the bookcase and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Shu Yan answered truthfully.

Shi Chong listened, waved his hand and said, "Take it, don't do it anymore." ”

Even if you don't ask for any reward for your subordinates' hard work, at least in the eyes of your boss, you should have a happy attitude, right? Who knew that Shi Chong had an indifferent expression.

"Well, back to the prince, the matter of counting the number of official cars is only done in leisure time, and it does not hinder the original business of the Chefu Order."

"What kind of business, side business, don't do it along with your car order."

Shu Yan didn't understand at all: "Junhou, what are you doing...... What do you mean? ”

"Don't you understand? I mean, you're no longer a Chefu order. Not only is it not a Chefu order, but it has also been lowered by one grade along with your genuine product. ”

Shu Yan was taken aback: "What? This- what's going on? ”

"Someone has joined you in the court, saying that you are acting recklessly, and you are suspected of deliberately embarrassing the ministers by taking advantage of the authority of the Chefu Order, and it is not appropriate to do this Chefu Decree again."

"How reckless am I? I, Shu, have also been an official for many years, and everything is done in accordance with the laws of the imperial court, and I will never exceed the rules. Whoever said this, I will ask him to his face! ”

"I'm afraid this can't be asked, why is there only one person in the DPRK and China who holds such remarks? People are in high positions and have a lot of money, so don't be bored. ”

Shu Yan boasted that he didn't take his career seriously, and it wouldn't be a big deal if he didn't do it, but he suffered such a grievance for no reason, and he was really angry. Even though he knew that the matter was basically irreparable, he refused to give up: "I know, it must be those people who offended when the inspector was in the car." But I don't regret it, if I am asked to do this Chefu order again, I will punish all lawlessness for the court as before, no matter who the other party is! ”

Shi Chong admired Shu Yan's words and sighed: "Shu Yan, Shu Yan, in fact, I admire you very much, your unruliness is a bit similar to my temperament." If you want to be talented, you want to be virtuous, but you are too stubborn and upright. I told you a long time ago that fame, fortune and wealth are all earned by yourself. If you want to chase fame and fortune, you must learn to change in everything, welcome when you should be welcomed, and be arrogant when you should be arrogant, why am I not like this? And you, no matter who you are, are blindly upright, and you will touch eggs and stones. Xun Guanglu, it's just that you provoke it, and you don't even give face to Jia Shizhong, how can you gain a foothold in the court? ”

It can be said that Shi Chong's admonition was completely for Shu Yan's good. Indeed, if Shu Yan is a child of a family, the scholars are closely related to each other, as long as it is not the kind of political enemy who is incompatible, with you and me, no one will force anyone to have no way out. Even if you make any mistakes, it is easy to recover based on the fame of the family. But Shu Yan is just from a humble background, and once he is degraded, he will never come out.

"Hahaha." After listening to this, Shu Yan laughed loudly, "You don't need to say these words, I, Shu Yan, am stupid, I'm afraid I won't be able to understand it." Since the imperial court won't let me do this Chefu order, you just tell me where to go, it's a big deal to go back to my hometown to farm, what are you afraid of? ”

Shu Yan's unrepentant attitude Shi Chong was also speechless, he twisted his beard and said: "To tell you the truth, the person you offended has made a lot of action this time, and what is more important and strange is that the officials of your native state and county have no good words for you, and they really want to drive you out of Luoyang and return to your hometown to farm." However, you are my subordinate after all, and you usually work hard and conscientiously, how can I not know? Your reputation is just there, I can't bear to watch you lose your career like this, so I begged Jia Shizhong to protect you as a Hua Liucheng in the stable, and you are still in Taifu Temple, or my subordinate. ”

Hua Liucheng? Isn't that what breeds horses? And the horse breeder himself can't be the master of the house, Hua Liucheng is just a deputy, and there is a Hua Liu's order above. Shu Yan was stuffy in his chest, not because he looked down on this Hua Liucheng, just as Shi Chong said, even this little Hua Liucheng added kind words in front of Jia Mi and won it for himself. What he is angry about is that he has worked diligently and diligently all the way, and he does not seek to be able to increase his official position, but in exchange for repeated derogatory and downfall. Now he completely understands that as a poor family, why his grandfather would rather his children and grandchildren farm with peace of mind than become officials.

Dr. Shu did not want his grandson to become an official, but he hoped that he would become a virtuous gentleman, self-cultivation, and a thorough understanding of the five classics and six arts. Since he was a child, Shu Yan followed his father and ancestors to read the Analects and the Five Classics, and was proficient in the three arts of calligraphy, mathematics, and etiquette. Before being raised as filial piety, only the three arts of archery, royalty, and music were not mastered. Later, by chance, he got the Xuantie heavy bow and the "Book of Music" from Tang Gonggong, and learned a whole set of archery skills; In the Shangshutai Mansion, he mastered the art of music by self-study of the "Book of Music" and with the help of Xiao Mo's guidance; After making the Chefu Order, due to the relationship between his position, he was proficient in various techniques of imperial cars.

Now he can say that he has completely achieved the five classics and six arts. Omnipotent, omnipotent, he thought that he could show his strength more confidently in his career, but in addition to his own self-cultivation, he did not have a bigger stage for himself, and he could not dedicate himself to the people's society.

At this moment, he was disheartened, and he had already had the idea of resigning and returning to his hometown. However, he did not immediately refuse Shi Chong. He also has one more consideration, and that is Ruoxin. Because he had already learned the news of Ruoxin's recommendation for filial piety through letters.

Ruoxin's parents and sisters have died early, and he is the only one left in the family. He finally had such an opportunity to get ahead, and if he resigned and returned to his hometown at this time, it would inevitably have an adverse impact on him. The Han family has been poor for generations, and they can't just ruin their rare future.

The new filial piety will soon enter Beijing to try. Shu Yan thought that when Ruoxin passed the test, the ministry selected a first-and-a-half official, even if he had a landing. After settling down, there is another important thing, that is, Ruoxin and Ruan Shui's family affairs. He had already discussed with the Ruan brothers and sisters that if Ruoxin passed the test and could stay in Luoyang, he would marry in Luoyang; If you can't pass the test, take Ruan Shui back to Ruyin's hometown to get married.

Shu Han's two families are good friends, and Shu Yan has treated Ruoxin as his younger brother since he was a child, not to mention the relationship between Zhixin. Ruoxin's lifelong events are often in Shu Yan's heart, if this matter is properly arranged, then the dead Han family's uncles and aunts, especially Zhixin, can be regarded as having an explanation. So he had to endure for a while.

At this time, he didn't know if he should thank Shi Chong for a favor, although he was obviously belittled.

Before the words came out, I suddenly saw a person running outside, who was the Huangmen waiter in the palace. Shi Chong hurriedly got up to greet him and asked the man where he came from. The Huangmen squire returned the salute to Shi Chong and said, "It's not about the prince and the marquis, just ask which one is Shu Yan." ”

Looking for me? Shu Yan wondered. "I am."

"Spread the emperor's message, and Shu Yan of the Taifu Temple will meet him immediately."

"The emperor wants to see me? So what's going on? ”

The Huangmen squire looked at Shu Yan for a moment, and said with a little disdain: "I'm only responsible for passing on the message, and you will know what the specific matter is." ”

Does the emperor want to announce the edict to Shu Yan in person? Or is there another change? Shi Chong didn't know why, so he asked the yellow door. Shi Chongyou asked, of course the Huangmen waiter had to say: "It seems that I heard a few people in Jia Shizhong say something bloody and bloody, and I can't figure it out." The prince doesn't need to ask more, it's better to ask him to follow me to meet the driver quickly. ”

Shu Yan followed the Yellow Gate squire to the palace and stopped outside a side hall. Shu Yan knew that this was the place where the emperor unofficially summoned his courtiers, not the Taiji Hall where the court discussed politics, so the etiquette did not need to be so cumbersome, and he didn't need to take off his shoes, so he walked directly to the throne and bowed: "Minister-" Just about to say "The minister's Chefu ordered Shu Yan to meet", he suddenly remembered that he was no longer the Chefu order, so he paused for a moment and changed his words: "The minister Hua Cheng Shu Yan is here!" ”

"Let's be flat." Although Sima Zhen is a famous stupid emperor in history, he is only a worrying IQ, not a debaucherous and cruel person, he can distinguish between good and bad, and his impression of Shu Yan is still good.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shu Yan stood up and stood with his hands down. Peeked at both sides and found that in addition to the emperor, there were Jia Mi, Jia Gong, Shi Hui, Xun Guanglu and others in the palace.

"Uh-I want you to send Dawan." Sima Zhen went straight to the point.

"Envoy Dawan?" Shu Yan almost doubted his ears.

"Yes."

Shu Yan couldn't connect himself with Da Wan, he bowed down and asked in confusion: "As a courtier, Shu Yan is a duty to serve His Majesty with all his might. But Weichen is in the Taifu Temple, he is not good at diplomacy, and he has nothing to do with Dawan, sending Weichen to Dawan, Weichen is personally fearless, and he is afraid of delaying the major events of the court. ”

"Uh, this ......"

Since Sima Zhen ascended the throne, in addition to being subject to the powerful wife Jia Nanfeng, he has been at the mercy of Yang Jun, Sima Liang, Sima Wei and others, and is a puppet. Now that it has fallen into the hands of Jia Mi, the matter of sending Shu Yan to envoy Dawan was picked up by Jia Mi and others. He was already reckless, and this matter was not his original intention, Shu Yan asked him so, how could he answer?

Seeing that Sima Zhen was so wooden, Jia Mi rushed forward and said, "Of course, there is a reason why I sent you. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions have been vassal states of the Central Plains Celestial Empire. The Western Regions have a vast area, the products are peculiar, one of the Dawan countries produces a kind of good horse, the name is the sweat and blood horse, this horse sweats and blood, is very vigorous, just like the legendary fire dragon horse, can travel thousands of miles a day, is regarded as a national treasure by Dawan. Since Zhang Qian's passage to the Western Regions, the emperor of the Central Plains has been able to witness the true face of this horse. In the first years of this dynasty, Dawan also presented this horse to the first emperor. As a subordinate of the Great Jin, the Quartet should present their own things to His Majesty every year. However, since the current majesty ascended the throne, there has been a long time since the Dawan kingdom has been sacrificed sweat and blood, which is obviously a disregard for the current majesty, so I want to send you to Dawan to ask their king for an explanation. ”

Now that the Jia family is autocratic, Jia Mi is arrogant and arrogant, rampant in the government and the opposition, and he does not have a heart of disobedience, and he does not take the prince in his eyes at all. once wanted to change his Anche Fu Shi from a bear ornament to a deer ornament, to keep up with the prince, but Shu Yan sternly refused. Xiao Mo was afraid that Shu Yan's straightforward refusal would be retaliated against by Jia Mi, so he gave an idea, neither drawing a bear nor a deer, but drawing a cow. Of course, Jia Mi also realized that he was fooled by Shu Yan, outside the gate, on the day of the prince's wedding, he was going to take the opportunity to attack, but under Biyu's unintentional debate, he had nothing to say and put it on hold.

Ordinary people, if they accidentally offend the powerful, they always have to do everything possible to find opportunities to make amends. There is no better opportunity than Jia Mi's own wedding, but Shu Yan ignored it, and on the day of the compliment, he went to the vineyard outside the city with Xiao Mo.

Jia Mi originally held a grudge against Shu Yan, but now with the bewitchment of Jia Gong, Shi Hui and others, Shu Yanyan can have good fruits to eat!

Some people died, but not completely......
