Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 421
When Princess Xingnan entered the garden, it was already nightfall.In addition to a few maids, there are more than ten carts full of various utensils.

After returning to the capital, Shen Zhezi was busy with disaster relief, and the couple hadn't seen each other for a long time.After meeting in the garden, the little girl was also excited, and she couldn't help complaining that Shen Zhezi didn't let anyone go home to notify him after saying a few words about returning to the city.

"The queen mother really doesn't know how to be considerate. There are so many [-] virtuous officials in Taichung who are idle and useless. My husband is just a mere supervisor, but he is too busy to go home for a long time!"

As Shen Zhezi became more and more important in the current situation, Princess Xingnan became more calm and confident when facing the empress dowager, and her speech became more casual.Seeing that Shen Zhezi was much thinner than before returning to the capital, she couldn't help complaining a few words while she was worshiping the Empress Dowager.

The empress dowager smiled awkwardly when she heard the words. She might not be able to keep up with the ministers, but how could she not understand the implication of her daughter's words.She sighed and said: "Wei Zhou has a low position and a heavy responsibility, how could I not know? Nowadays, there are many people with false names, but few people with great talents. Wei Zhou is already a rare high-ranking candidate. , others are even more unacceptable. It's just that he is too young, and he suddenly raised two thousand stones, which is too eye-catching, but not beautiful."

In addition to the empress dowager, there are two concubines in the room.Hearing the conversation between the mother and daughter, one of the concubines laughed and said: "Not being famous is a common concern. The son-in-law is far above the crowd, handsome and talented, and a young man can expect a high position."

When Princess Xingnan heard this, her smile brightened a bit. Her eyes fell on a girl who was a little embarrassed behind the concubine, and she waved her hand to let the girl come closer. She took the other's hand and sat down together, laughing Said: "I left the pavilion early, and I came and went to the court in a hurry. I haven't seen my sister for a long time."

The girl in the banquet was also the late Emperor's daughter, her baby name was Nandi, and she was only a few months younger than Princess Xingnan.But living in the garden for a long time, plus being disturbed many years ago, her brows and eyes are much more immature, she lowered her head and dared not look at the crowd, after entering the table, she just waited and said: "Ah, hello, sister."

"This girl is rare, and she is timid in front of others. If she is rude, please forgive me, Princess."

The concubine laughed again, she just looked at Princess Xingnan with envy.The first emperor died early, and the two princes were both descended from the empress dowager, and the prince Sima Yan had to inherit the throne. These concubines in the court really have no status at all. It seems that she is in a good position for someone who can make a fortune. I have some expectations, looking forward to my daughter marrying a good husband and improving her situation in the garden.

In fact, as early as when Princess Xingnan was choosing a son-in-law, the concubine had been thinking about it.At that time, Wu Xingshen's family was not favored, so the empress dowager complained a lot.But the concubine didn't care about her family status, she herself was promoted from the palace, so a wealthy family like the Shen family in Wuzhong was quite pleased with it.

Therefore, the concubine planned to beg the late emperor to marry Shen for her daughter after Shen's failure in the election, so as to form a good relationship.But unfortunately, this plan failed in the end.Although the concubine was a little disappointed at the time, she didn't take it too seriously.But when he thinks about the past again recently, he is so regretful that he can't sleep all night.

Now the Shen family's status has already surpassed many old high-ranking families, and the son-in-law is even more honored and honored.If this good son-in-law falls on her head, it is impossible to fight against the empress dowager in the court now!
Princess Xingnan didn't know that the concubine had many thoughts in her heart, and she didn't have a close sisterhood with the sister beside her, but the concubine's tone was kind, so she naturally wanted to reciprocate.

Seeing that the young lady next to her is rather simple, she took off some accessories around her and put it on for her, leaned back slightly as an adult, looked at her and said with a smile: "My young sister has also grown into a pretty lady, I don't know where she will be Fortunately, the young man of the family."

The Nandi princess was even more shy after hearing the words, she lowered her head and dared not speak more.The concubine next to her said with a smile: "Where will this lady go in the future, and she will inevitably need the elder sister's help in the end."

There was laughter and laughter in the room for a while, and the harmony was extremely harmonious.Seeing that several concubines went out of their way to invite the princess, the empress dowager felt a lot of emotion in her heart.Back then, she looked coldly at Wu Xingshen, not only because of her own family background, but also because of the cold words of other concubines.

Those people privately ridiculed their daughter for being unsuitable for a good match, but now they turned their heads and complimented Princess Xingnan.The flow of fortune is really mysterious and unpredictable.

Princess Xingnan dined with the Empress Dowager and the others in the inner garden, while Shen Zhezi dined with her two brothers-in-law in the outer room.The little emperor at the banquet couldn't help inquiring about the outside world, although King Langya also interjected a few words, but his expression was lack of interest, the young man knew how to lie, obviously he was perfunctory under the empress dowager's order.

After the banquet was over, Shen Zhezi was arranged in a side hall near the Taiji East Hall. After waiting for a while, Princess Xingnan came here with a happy face.As soon as the serving palace people retreated, the little girl put her head into Shen Zhezi's arms. The many compliments she heard before were all because her husband satisfied the little girl's vanity to a great extent.

After a moment of tenderness, Princess Xingnan talked to Shen Zhezi about the goods and utensils that she had recently sent to the garden with her fingers, and her expression was not lacking in embarrassment.Shen Zhezi didn't care much about this, as there are not many poor relatives in any family these days.

There was nothing to say all night, and Shen Zhezi went directly from the garden to participate in the court meeting early the next morning. In the eyes of some people, he was naturally moved again.

Director Wang met with Shen Zhezi before the court meeting, and raised several questions about the plan to build a new capital.

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Director Wang did not advocate the large-scale construction of Cannes, not because of any factional views.He has always been in power in a calm manner. If he moves too much, the situation will become more complicated and difficult to control. Any negligence is enough to cause extremely bad effects.

They have different philosophies and propositions, and it is difficult for Shen Zhezi to convince Wang Dao.To be honest, even he himself doesn't know how the future situation will be deviated if his idea is put into reality.But there is one thing he can be sure of, if he can't take advantage of the aftermath of Su Jun's turmoil, according to Wang Dao's method, even if he can slow down the situation, the situation will soon turn into a pool of stagnant water.

Regarding this issue, neither party can reach a consensus, so let's put it aside.Director Wang turned to look at the moment, and said with a smile: "The son-in-law is helping the disaster in the south, he is both strong and soft, and he is slow and calm. He has built a plan so quickly, which is enough to show his talents. When I return to Taiwan, I hope the son-in-law can help. It’s just that I don’t know what the son-in-law wants?”

This is the second time that Director Wang has directly solicited. Shen Zhezi replied after hearing the words: "The Taibao is in charge of the government, and he is not inferior to Guan Zi. It is an honor for the younger generation to be taught by the Taibao. I dare not say anything. It's just Du Nan There are tens of thousands of people, and I dare not treat them lightly, so I ask the Taibao to take good care of them."

Regarding the resettlement of refugees, Director Wang has been thinking hard recently.

Although Shen Zhezi has full authority to deal with disaster relief matters, the resettlement of hundreds of thousands of people is actually decided by Taichung.In other words, if Director Wang insisted on sending these villagers back to their hometowns, Shen Zhezi would not be able to stop them.

Hearing Shen Zhezi's words, Director Wang also pondered, and asked after a while, "The son-in-law handed in the memorial the day before yesterday, and I have read it several times..."

"The actual situation is that the situation is much worse than what the memorial says."

A few days ago, Shen Zhezi killed a group of people who bewitched the refugees. Such a big event will naturally be reported in Taichung.In addition to venting his anger and establishing rules when he kills, he is actually showing his posture to Director Wang.This time, the people of Wu contributed a lot of manpower and material resources to the disaster relief. It is impossible to work for various families in Gyeonggi Province in vain.

In the past, the political weakness of the Wu people was that no one could represent their demands in the current situation, and they could only influence them indirectly, passively waiting for a result.The rise of the Shen family naturally filled this gap.

Hearing that Shen Zhezi's attitude was still firm, Director Wang nodded slightly and said no more.Even if he communicates more deeply, he will not talk to Shen Zhezi about Yu Tan who is about to return to the capital, or directly talk to Shen Chong.The final handling of those refugees can only be determined by each other's bottom line, testing each other and finally reaching a consensus.

The content of today's court meeting is similar, the only climax is the new master craftsman Shen Ke's proposal to rebuild the palace, which quickly won the approval of many people.There are also objections. After all, it is a fact that the national treasury is useless, but as soon as such voices are raised, they are drowned out by more different voices.

Often such matters have to be handed over to Zhongshu for repeated discussions, and it is extremely efficient to make a decision within half a month.But when Shen Ke raised this issue, less than an hour later, the result was decided.Such a crisp and neat deliberation efficiency surprised many participants.

The final result of the court discussion was that the emperor and the empress dowager temporarily lived in the Bieyuan Jianping Garden, with Danyang Jimu as the supervising minister, and built the palace garden during the festival. Ask, joint supervision and construction.Yu Tiao served as Cangbu Lang, responsible for raising materials and coordinating craftsmen.Kong Huan in Kuaiji was transferred to Sanqilang, the governor of the military guard, and a total of [-] Dingkou in the capital were recruited for construction.

In the next few days, Shen Zhezi is also very busy. Everything is difficult at the beginning. The construction of the palace garden is a starting project for building a new capital, and it is also a model project. Although it has been prepared for a long time, once it officially starts, many tasks will be overwhelming Threads need to be processed.

The requisition of labor is quite simple. It only needs to move a few camps of the private camps in the southern suburbs of Jiankang to the foot of Fuzhou Mountain.However, the mobilization and requisition of a large amount of materials, as well as the division of various projects and the distribution of benefits are very busy.A large number of members of the business alliance, including Shen Ke, went north to discuss these issues day and night, so much so that people in the capital joked that raccoons were plundering from south to north.

A lot of things at hand were assigned, Shen Zhezi had just been free, and Wen Qiao's son Wen Fangzhi came to visit again, Shen Zhezi remembered that Wen Qiao had said earlier about Yu Yin's appointment to Langya County.With a little leisure time, he really needed to relax, so he decided to go with him.
