Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 819
Shen Garden, located on the banks of the Qinhuai River, has already become the most famous landmark building in the capital, and there is no such thing.

Many people who are new to the capital, the first stop is often a boat trip along the Qinhuai River, to watch the Shenyuan Zhaixing Building, which is known as the No. 1 building of Jiangbiao.

Architecture is a dead thing after all. It is true that the Zhaixing Tower towers over the Qinhuai River, and the building is magnificent and magnificent, but it will inevitably become ordinary after seeing too much.The reason why Zhaixing Building can always attract attention is not only its own beautiful architecture, but also the characters and stories outside the building.

If you want to talk about the stories related to the Zhaixing Tower, even ordinary people in the capital can talk about it for a long time: hanging in the sky, talking about the sky, fire dragons soaring into the sky, high-rise buildings hanging Fu... The so-called salty and romantic, on the first floor, has gradually Become the consensus of the time.

Jiangdong has been troubled since the South Crossing, especially in Xianhe from Ming Emperor Taining to the present, with frequent drastic changes, and every drastic change means a re-division of the situation.The ups and downs of an individual, the rise and fall of a family, and even the ups and downs of a nation's destiny are beyond description.In such a violent and turbulent era, no one, no matter the scholar or the common people, dared to say that he could stabilize the world without harm.

However, in the turbulent melody of this great era, there is a small episode that has always maintained the courageous rhythm of singing and leaping forward. As for now, it has become famous all over the north and south, blending into and even leading to the impassioned main theme!
"The son-in-law is not born with a high standard. He enters the capital at a young age, and people don't know the virtuous... Even if the reputation of the time gradually rises, there are many faults. The capital of the Xiangnian and Xu Junyan, Wang Changyu passed away in his prime, and there is no news of Yin Yuanyuan. Only the daughter of a thousand-jin son has emerged in the world day by day, and has traveled so far, his peers are incomparable, and the virtuous elders are also inferior..."

Outside the Shen Garden, on the banks of the Qinhuai River, there are often local people from Jiankang telling the story extended from this star-catching building, and their tone is full of pride in witnessing the growth of this young leader in Jiangdong.And those who heard it were often moved with emotion, deeply regretted that they could not get to know each other, and also deeply regretted that they could not witness the grand occasion of Zhaxinglou in previous years.Today's concubine Shen is already well-respected in both the north and the south, and because of the frequent use of the king's affairs, he has not visited the Zhaixing Tower for several years.

Recently, the number of tourists around Shen Garden has increased sharply, because everyone knew that Concubine Shen had already returned to the capital, and might go to Zhaixing Tower to gather friends again.Even if they didn't have the chance to enter the building, it would be a consolation to be able to witness the grand occasion of the Zhaixing Building.

Sure enough, hard work paid off. On this day, Shen Gongfang carried a large number of Shen family oxcarts to carry various things into the building for decoration, as if they were preparing for some large-scale gathering.So those who got the news all went around to inquire whether Consort Shen would go upstairs today, and tried their best to get an invitation.

Not to mention that most of the people in the capital were throbbing because of this, after noon, children from families in the capital had already arrived.In the past, oxcart robes and beautiful maidservants were the standard equipment for traveling in aristocratic families, but now the style of martial arts is gradually recovering, especially Shen Concubine, who is now a hero of martial arts.

Therefore, most of the children present gave up riding a car, or rode a horse, or walked broadly, each with their heads held high, especially when they saw the many onlookers around Shen Yuan, their expressions were even more arrogant, as if they were all colorful Like a rooster, with its head held high, it entered the garden under the guidance of Shen's family.

As for the onlookers around, they are really envious. Now Zhaixing Tower has a high status in the hearts of the people in the capital, and being invited to climb the tower itself is an honor that can be boasted for a long time.Not to mention that Prince Consort Shen is now in the capital, and it would be an honor among honors if he was invited by Prince Consort to go upstairs.

For a while, among the onlookers, the aristocratic family members who felt that they had some identities couldn't bear to wait here, and left one after another to inquire about the inside story, making up their minds to get an invitation no matter what price they paid.Otherwise, if the son-in-law invited Shi Xianjunyan to a banquet, but they were not invited, what qualifications would they have to boast about their talents?Do you still want to hang out in the capital in the future?
The disturbance here in Shen Yuan caused riots in the capital not only among the young people, but soon even some officials of Taiwan Province were also affected.They may have passed the age to be named, but they always have children, and now Shen Weizhou has become recognized as the leader of the younger generation in Jiangdong. Outweighing the disadvantages, there are certain benefits for future development.

So many Taiwanese ministers went to Shangshutai one after another, wanting to go to Shen Chong to ask for one or two invitations for his children with a little noodle.As a result, when he arrived at Shangshutai, he found out that Shen Chong hadn't sold out his holidays yet, and he didn't come to Taicheng at all, so he turned all his brains to the Shaofu Qingguan's office.

In the central government office in Tainei, Zhongshu ordered Chu Chong to summon a group of officials to discuss the issue of government orders in Huainan, Henan and other places later, but after waiting for nearly an hour, only two or three out of ten people attended.Chu Chong was naturally a little dissatisfied in his heart, and after a little inquiring, he found out the reason, so he inevitably became even more displeased: "This Shen Weizhou, it's not that he doesn't know that he is highly regarded by everyone in the world, and he behaves so rashly!"

If there are more than half of the vacancies, there is still a fart meeting.Chu Chong waved his hand at the banquet to dismiss the group of officials, and after a moment of sulking, someone called Chu Xi, his son who was serving as the supervisor in the palace in Taichung, and asked, "It has been ten days since Xie Jiaerlang Wuyi returned from Huainan. Have you ever visited?"

After Chu Xi heard this, she shook her head and said, "Recently, there are a lot of ceremonies, and there are a lot of common affairs in the palace. Besides, my son and Xie Wuyi have no deep friendship at all, and he is under the control of Shen Weizhou, so it is always embarrassing to meet."

After Chu Chong heard this, his face turned dark, and he couldn't help feeling that it was not easy for his family to educate young talents.Seeing that his son's face was full of firmness and awareness of opposing positions, Chu Chong felt even more helpless, and sighed: "Shen Weizhou is not in harmony with the stage, so don't worry about it until you reach the position of Sangong. How can Xie's family be close to the family because of this?" Neglect of human kindness. I wrote a note here, you go home and prepare a little gift, then go to visit Xie Wuyi. If there is a gathering of peers, don't rush back, just stay there for a little question and answer."

Chu Xi was a little rigid about personnel matters, but he was not a fool. He also heard that Shen Yuan was going to have a big banquet today, and Xie Yi, as Shen Weizhou's close entourage, would definitely be there.Father ordered so, naturally hoped that he would go to Shen Yuan.

However, he was still a little embarrassed: "However, my son and Shen Weizhou really don't have much friendship. Is it a bit..."

"Shen Weizhou is a young and virtuous leader respected by the world, and you don't have to judge him narrowly. Being able to sit and discuss the Tao with such a person is also an encouragement to you. Go."

Chu Chong waved his hand and urged again.It is true that he and the Shen family have some political conflicts now, but he is very sure of Shen Zhezi's talents.Letting his son get in touch with Shen Weizhou is not because he hopes to make great progress, but because he hopes to pave the way for his son to have more choices.

He planned to send his son to Huainan for training. Even if he was not a first-class talent, with his father who is still in office, Shen Weizhou would not deliberately suppress him.As he said just now, even if there is any disharmony between him and Shen Weizhou, it is still far from being enough with the weight of his son Chu Xi.

It is common to have political disputes, but if it implicates family members in mutual hatred, that is not the way to do things.If everyone is like this, how hard will the game be at that time!
Is there a big grudge between the Langya Wang family and the Shen family?When Wang Dao served as the Taibao, he also recruited Shen Weizhou as a follower, but Shen Weizhou was too busy to suppress him.Chu Chong didn't think that his son's methods could deal with Shen Weizhou, but if he just put his head down and worked hard, he could always be promoted according to the rules.

It was obvious that Chu Xi's political wisdom was still a little lacking, and he couldn't understand his father's order, but he didn't dare to disobey it. When Chu Chong finished writing a letter of ordinary greeting and handed it over, he put it in his arms to ask for leave Leaving Taicheng.

In the past half a day, this kind of trade-offs and discussions among various sects in the capital have occurred frequently.As for the instigator, Shen Zhezi, he wasn't complacent, and even a little bit depressed because a single thought caused such a big fluctuation in the capital.

"In the past, when I was young and had little knowledge, I always felt that there were many things in the world that I didn't like. Especially Shen Qing's Yushu was flourishing, compared to the lack of color of many people of the same age, I just felt that the world owed me a lot."

The emperor has also reached puberty in the past two years, and his body has grown a lot taller. He is no longer short and fat as before, but now he has gradually become stocky. His white cheeks are like ripe white melons...

melon?Pooh!
This kid couldn't be connected with his own delicate and sweet melon in every aspect, Shen Zhezi spat inwardly.But having said that, as he got older, his facial features gradually opened up. Although the emperor was still fat, he was still a little more impressive than when he was young.After all, Shen Zhezi's father-in-law, the Emperor Suzu, and the Empress Dowager are not bad. If this kid can get a decent evaluation, he is already sorry for his parents' inheritance.

But despite his age, his IQ is still a little low.What is this saying?Is it wrong for me to be too good?Is it wrong to make you feel ashamed?

Shen Zhezi sat in the banquet, lowered his head in a feigned sleep, and did not respond to the emperor's words at all.

"Shen Qing... Shen Qing? Brother-in-law, I'm talking to you, you can't answer me!"

The emperor corrected his sitting posture in the banquet, supported his hair and topped the small crown: "I haven't seen each other for so long, I have accumulated a lot of things to tell you, don't you think you have nothing to say to me?"

"Um……"

Shen Zhezi responded, as a way of saving face, but he was thinking about deceiving the emperor out of the palace and instilling in his family Shen Jin all the three views!
As long as there was such a little response, the emperor became interested again, leaned forward slightly and whispered with a smile: "I used to sigh, brother-in-law, you are always impeccable. But how can there be perfection in this world? Sigh , Originally, I didn’t like to say such things. But people have their own opinions, and it’s fair to say that whether you say it or not, it’s the same.”

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he became somewhat interested, and raised his head to look at the emperor.Then I saw the emperor's face was radiant, and his fat cheeks were white and translucent: "Brother-in-law, you also know about this matter. Earlier, I also relied on the help of my brother-in-law to see the new bride in Jiangxia's family. Miss Jiangxia from Jiangxia's family has a beautiful appearance. , This, I don't only value beauty, but I have a rare gentle character. Earlier, my mother and queen invited all the wives of the clan to share their rewards. Sigh, I don't want to compete with you, brother-in-law, but here In this matter, I am indeed better than my brother-in-law."

"I haven't seen you for more than a year, but I don't know that His Majesty already has the ability to learn from others."

Right now, the two are in the side hall of the Empress Dowager's palace. Sitting at this angle, Shen Zhezi can already see the skirts of clothes flashing by the window, so he straightened his face and said seriously: "It's always impolite to say that the house is in the pavilion lady."

After the emperor heard this, he laughed: "This has nothing to do with knowledge. When a man courts a mate, he always seeks what he wants. Brother-in-law, you can boast about everything, but you owe one thing. Alas, I'm sorry to say it." Brother-in-law, if there were strong discipline back then, your wife wouldn’t be so bad-natured. But brother-in-law, you are right, so I will discuss this with you in private, and not to a third person. My family Sister, compared to Mrs. Ajaan, she is indeed a little no, no..."

Although the emperor said sorry, his tone was full of showing off, and then his voice stopped abruptly.Then Shen Zhezi was lucky enough to see a strange sight: the plump white cheeks turned bright red at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if peeled shrimp had been fried in oil, never knew that a human face could become so vivid .

The emperor quickly sat up straight, snorted coldly with a stern face, although the deterrence was a little lacking, but his posture was full: "Sister, how can you be so rude? I am discussing state affairs with Shen Qing, how can a woman sneak in privately?" Peeping? I think you are the first offender, quit quickly."

The corners of Princess Xingnan's tightly pursed lips trembled, she took a deep breath, and then said, "I'll tell the emperor that the queen mother has learned that my husband is going to have a young man at today's banquet, so the emperor is allowed to come out of the court for a visit." Let’s take a trip to see the wise men at the gathering, so that they can be selected for administration.”

After Shen Zhezi heard this, he gave Princess Xingnan a knowing look.He made a special trip to visit the Empress Dowager today because of this intention.

"I, I won't go!"

Hearing this, the emperor's eyes twinkled even more, and he withdrew suddenly, his tone full of grief and indignation.

"Don't make trouble, prepare quickly, and return to the garden before midnight."

Princess Xingnan's tone was slightly pitiful. Although she would be the main perpetrator later, she really couldn't bear to think about the situation the emperor would encounter next.
