Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 167
The grievances between Langya Wang's family and Qiao Wang's family unexpectedly broke out, which forced the Wang family to withdraw from the selection of the emperor's son-in-law, which changed the atmosphere of the entire Jiankang City.The overseas Chinese were really disappointed, and the southerners could hardly bear to celebrate with each other, because this meant that the emperor's eldest daughter would marry into the southern family.

Originally, although the emperor's marriage to a daughter was a major event, its influence would not affect the hearts of the north and south.However, in the current era of North-South hedging, any political movement will inevitably be over-interpreted and regarded as some kind of omen.Since the southern crossing, the southerners have been suppressed and marginalized in the court for a long time. If there is no complaint in their hearts, it is absolutely impossible. Therefore, this matter is regarded by the southerners as a sign of their upcoming rise!
It is a foregone conclusion that the princess will marry a southerner, but which family she will marry is still in doubt.The Zhang family in Danyang has been well-known among the southerners for a long time, and their reputation is outstanding, and their family is deeply rooted in the land of Gyeonggi, so it can be said that they are popular.

And Wu Xingshen's family is also not weak, not to mention the family status of Jiangdong Haoshou, in terms of status alone, it can almost be called the highest among the southerners.The father and son Hou are no less than the Yixing Zhou family at the beginning of the dynasty.Especially in the matter of forcing the Langya Wang family back, the Shen family's outstanding performance, coupled with his old name in the past, can almost be called the best of the younger generation of southerners, and he is not inferior to Gu Lu's high school children.

Shen Zhezi was not only highly praised among the southerners, even among the overseas Chinese, although there were provocative and provocative comments, the overall evaluation was more praise than slander.On the one hand, Yu Tiao and other overseas Chinese from Jinling helped to create momentum for him, and on the other hand, Shen Zhezi's personal qualities were recognized by many overseas Chinese.

Although the current world is advocating Xuanxuan and practicing pragmatism, the concept of human relations of famous religion is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.Shen Zhezi denounced Zhu Fashen in the Donghaiwang Manor, and those remarks were spread around as many guests returned to Jiankang, and many people agreed with them.The gift of human relations is the ultimate way between heaven and earth. It is only natural to avenge your father. How can you give up such a great revenge because of the heresy!
Not only was Shen Zhezi not very happy with the sudden recognition of his name, but he felt a little ashamed.Just a few days ago, the current empress suddenly expressed her position and treated Mrs. Zhang courteously, which made the increasingly clear wind direction become chaotic.

What Shen Zhezi was angry about had nothing to do with the situation, it was purely unacceptable emotionally.Now that the emperor and the princess have expressed their favor for him, this is already an extremely peaceful atmosphere.But the empress's stupid act cast a shadow over the peaceful atmosphere.

Shen Zhezi was not surprised that the queen was inclined towards the Zhang family.Nowadays, family status is the most important criterion for judging a person, Shen Jiaqing doesn't have it, it's a congenital defect.Even though Shen Zhezi is quite well-known now, before he became an official and made great achievements, in the eyes of the people at that time, compared with those high-school children, he was inferior to others.

Even if the children of the Wang family performed poorly in the Donghai Wang Manor, even if they compare Wang Huzhi with Shen Zhezi at this moment, people at that time may be more inclined to Wang Huzhi.How can the Shen family's mere few years of time make up for the support of the family's ancestors and the distance between them.

Probably in the queen's mind, the Wang family should be the first choice. This woman was born in the boudoir and grew up in the inner court. How deep she can understand the current situation, her family status is naturally an important criterion that can influence her decision.Now that the Langya Wang family has withdrawn, and the taller of the two dwarfs, the Danyang Zhang family has naturally become the queen's best choice.

However, the queen's move was stupid because she completely ignored other people's feelings. At least this slap was directly slapped on the emperor's face, which was a great harm to the emperor's little majesty.Even if the emperor is ignoring political affairs now, but his status is here, his dignity is openly violated, and the impact can be great or small.

At the very least, Yu Liang right now would be on pins and needles because of the queen's move.Because he has not concealed his optimism for the Zhang family in Danyang before, this can also be said to be a matter of personal preference, and it does not directly contradict the emperor's choice.However, the Queen's statement was nothing less than a sign of Yu's internal and external control. The Queen colluded with her relatives' mother's family to put pressure on the Emperor.

If this matter is not handled properly, the problems that can be triggered can be large or small. If it is serious, it is possible for all localities to raise troops to serve the king and kill Yu's relatives!

Therefore, Yu Liang has not even lived in Taicheng recently, and he resigned on the table, thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors.The next thing is that Wang Dao, who has not been in Taicheng for a long time, is stationed in the Taibao office, and quickly cuts through the mess, and quickly resolves the matter of Wang Zhen, who has been arguing and seeing each other for the past few days. After the change, his son Wang Yizhi's prince was reduced to the rank of Marquis of Wuling Township.

As for King Qiao's public murder, because of his noble family, he was allowed to pay money to pay for the crime. Then he was transferred from Sanqi Shilang to General Yangwei, moved to Changsha, and shot thousands of miles away with one pole.

Originally presided over by Yu Liang, a political dilemma aimed at the Wang family was easily resolved.King Qiao is now running around in all directions, just to stay in the capital and continue to entangle with the Wang family, but the effect is very little.It is really because nowadays the overseas Chinese families respect him at a distance, and the clan kings really have little influence in the political situation.

What made Shen Zhezi angry was that since the empress, a stupid woman, didn't understand politics, she could just live in the palace and not come out to be a demon.Even if she prefers the Zhang family in Danyang and despises the Shen family, there are many ways to convey her wishes, so direct and undisguised, it is simply playing the piano indiscriminately.

You must know that Shen Zhezi spent a lot of time and many twists and turns in order to draw out the emperor's wishes.Even with such sufficient reasons, the emperor expressed his opinions with reservations, so as not to arouse violent backlash from all parties.

The queen's move was too abrupt, and Danyang Zhang's reaction was really mindless.Instead of covering it up, it advertised it.If his family knew how to assess the situation, Yu Liang would not have to withdraw from Taicheng to avoid suspicion, so that the good situation would be overturned.The Zhang family is probably still happily thinking that their selection may increase greatly, but they don't realize that they have offended Yu Liang severely.

But in fact, although the queen did this, although it had a bad impact on the current situation, it made Shen Zhezi emotionally unacceptable.But in terms of facts, this is a big assist for Shen Zhezi.Originally, Shen Zhezi had prepared a lot of means to solve the Zhang family in Danyang. It was the first step to separate the Zhang family from the Lu family, and there were still many ways to prepare after that, but the Queen's disturbance saved Shen Zhezi a lot. Trouble.

These idiots, they can only see the dead bones in the tomb, and they don't know what Fang Zhen means nowadays.Although the Shen family's position in Fangzhen is a little watery, its strength is not compromised. Shen Zhezi wants to let them see the power of Fangzhen!
Today, Shen Zhezi turned down many contacts and entertainments, and specially entertained a guest at home. This guest was named Tao Hong.In Jiankang City, where celebrities and high-ranking people gather, Tao Hong's family background is not impressive, and he has never had much fame, but it is definitely worth Shen Zhezi's whole day to receive him.Because of this Tao Hong, his father is Tao Zhan and his grandfather is Tao Kan.

According to historical records, there are seventeen sons of Tao Kan. For ordinary people who have many emperors who are not concubines, this number is already extremely astonishing.It can be seen that Mr. Tao Kan has a strong body, and besides making great achievements, he also leads a very fulfilling and happy life.

Although Tao Kan has many descendants, not many are really famous. On the one hand, it is because of the low family background and lack of praise, and on the other hand, it is because the quality of these descendants is uneven.

Tao Hong's father, Tao Zhan, was the third son of Tao Kan. He was an outstanding official among the sons.

Tao Hongnian was seventeen or eighteen years old, about the same age as Shen Mu, and he was currently working as a student in Jiankang City.Although his family was powerful and powerful, and his grandfather lived in Shanxi Province, he was the head of Fangzhen, but because he was from a poor family and had no famous celebrities, Tao Hong was not very popular in Jiankang City.

Shen Zhezi didn't judge people by their family status, but he didn't have time to socialize with Tao Hong. The reason why the other party would come to his door was because Shen Mu had recently made friends with children from various families in the capital, and Tao Hong had already been in private. The friendship is quite good.

Perhaps because he has been immersed in this vanity fair in the capital for a long time and has a lot of experience in the hot and cold world, Tao Hong is not arrogant because of his family status, and his attitude is modest and polite. It is also quite useful for Shen Zhezi to entertain him in person.

The Shen family and the Tao family had no contact at first, and the beginning of their relationship was two years ago when his father Shen Chong was planning to rebel.Because of Shen Zhezi's advice, Shen Chong gave up raising troops, and then went to present gifts to all parties, including Tao Kan.At that time, Tao Kan was still in Jiaozhou, and he did not have such a powerful position as he is now, so he could be regarded as a kind of cold stove.Therefore, although they do not have deep friendship with each other now, they still have contacts, and the relationship is acceptable.

Since Tao Hong was a student of the Imperial Academy, he would naturally start with Shen Zhezi's Poetry of a Wandering Son. After all, the emperor himself wrote this poem and the inscription is placed in the Imperial Academy.So Tao Hong opened his mouth and praised: "Although Mr. Zhe Zilang is younger than me, his literary, prose and poetic talents are already well-known in the capital. Every time he sees it in the Taixue, he feels ashamed of himself. I am fortunate to meet you today. Wu Zhong Yulang, his demeanor is really extraordinary."

Shen Zhezi said with a smile: "Brother Tao Shi is too serious. I am sad and sad. It is not something to be proud of. I have a lot of admiration for Mr. Tao of the Zunfu. His meritorious service is shining and helping the country. This is what a man should have. Ambition! The Zunfu and my family are also considered neighbors, since Brother Tao Shi lived in the capital for a long time, we should keep in touch with each other, and form a ancestral friendship."

The Shen family presented Tao's manor as a gift in Wuxing, so Shen Zhezi said this.

Tao Hong also smiled when he heard this, he had been in the capital for several years, but he didn't make many good friends, and there were not many such as Shen Zhezi who was well-known at a young age.Although the Shen family is not considered a top-notch family, Wu Zong is wealthy and his reputation has increased recently, which his family does not possess.It is also beneficial for Tao Hong to be able to communicate with Shen Zhezi from time to time.

Shen Mu accompanied at the banquet, making jokes, and the atmosphere was harmonious for a while.

It's just that not long after the banquet, another disciple sent an invitation card, and the inviter was the patrons of Wu County.Shen Zhezi glanced at it, then threw the invitation aside, and said to his disciples, "I'm going to receive distinguished guests at home today, but please tell the Gu family that I don't have time to go to the banquet."

When Tao Hong heard this, he couldn't take it lightly, and quickly said: "The elder has an invitation, how dare he say goodbye. Sir, please don't delay Mr. Gu's invitation because of me. Erlang and I are also in agreement, so we can come to visit at any time. "

Shen Zhezi really didn't intend to go to the invitation of the public. In previous years when he came to Jiankang, he begged to see this old guy but couldn't see him, but now there is no need to meet him.But after hearing Tao Hong's words, his heart was moved, and then he said with a smile: "Gu Gong's invitation is not respectful. But Tao Shixiong and my family background are good, and I really can't ask to leave. In this case, Tao Shixiong might as well be with me Going together?"
