Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 938 Suspected
After sending Director Wang away, Shen Chong did not return to the inner room immediately, but stood silently for a moment in the shadow of the atrium.

At the moment, there are still many visitors in the Shen family's courtyard. However, when such a thing happened in the Shen family's house, those visitors did not dare to make loud noises or get carried away. The atmosphere in the entire atrium was quite oppressive.

"Shen Sikong suddenly encountered this calamity, I don't know if the son-in-law will..."

There were two people passing by, discussing with each other, suddenly one of them stopped, pointed to the figure in the shadow, and muttered: "Si, Sikong..."

"Shut up, hurry up!"

The other person turned his head to look, and immediately his face changed drastically. He pulled the sleeve of the man's robe, and then hurriedly lowered his head to avoid this place.

When Shen Chong saw this, he couldn't help laughing. He was about to step up to meet them, but when he saw the two people walking away with their heads bowed, he just smiled, and then turned and went to the inner room.

He did not return to his living room, but walked into another attic not far away. In the attic, there were several maids standing silently. Among them, Qian Feng was sitting alone, with a large number of old books and slips piled up on the desk in front of him.Hearing the sound of footsteps, Qian Feng raised his head and looked up, then got up and said with a smile, "Duke Ming hasn't gone to bed yet?"

Shen Chong sat on the seat on the other side, and when he saw the stacked books on the case, he sighed and said, "Why do you bother Shiyi? You should treat yourself for a few days if you make tiles and add joy in the room, and leave the chores to the scribes." Just divide up."

Hearing this, Qian Feng felt shy on his old face. He had entered Zhuo Xiangzong in Hebei earlier, and when he returned to the south, the wife never left him, and not long ago she even gave birth to a daughter for him.

His original wife died of illness in the early years because of the ups and downs of the family fortune. The son raised in Wuzhong Township has now entered the capital and is studying at the Imperial Academy.Although his son is the descendant of a criminal, with the current status of the Shen family, there is naturally no need to care about it.

"Wang Dazai has already left the mansion? I'm curious, how will Dazai react when he sees Duke Ming?"

Hearing Qian Feng change the subject so bluntly, Shen Chong couldn't help laughing. In previous years, he and Qian Feng had similar temperaments and shared similar interests.However, with the different positions in these years, the temperament has gradually changed. Shen Chong has to become more open-minded, while Qian Feng has become more withdrawn.

Of course, this does not damage the friendship between each other. Shen Chong just hopes that Qian Feng can live a more relaxed life, but seeing that Qian Feng enjoys the current state and is too lazy to change, he doesn't say anything more.

"There are no successors in the Wang family, and the empress dowager blocked Wang Maohong from outside the city. The decline is doomed, and it is difficult to become a serious disaster."

Thinking of the conversation with Director Wang just now, Shen Chong laughed again.In the past few years, he has become more and more aware that in this world, whether it is prominent or declining, calmness is the rarest thing.

For example, Shen Chong himself, at his age, if he goes to battle again, he will not be as brave as those young men, but if he is in the center of the pavilion, he can be called a legitimate prime.It is unacceptable treatment for many people to be emptied at such an age, but Shen Chong can not care about it.

Moreover, what if the Taifus took great pains to take him out of the air?In a blink of an eye, his son made another great achievement in Jiangbei, bringing his family's prestige to a new height!
People at that time looked down on the Wang family not only because of the current loss of power of the Wang family, but also because in the foreseeable future, there was no hope of the Wang family's resurgence at all.

After Qian Feng heard the words, he said: "Although the words are so, the Dazai is still there for a day, and he still cannot underestimate his family too much. In fact, there is no need for Minggong to meet Dazai this time..."

Shen Chong was a little silent, and his face became a little dignified.There are many reasons why he came forward to receive Director Wang, and he praised his son for showing a little demonstration.In addition, I also want to use this to force myself to make up my mind.

Shen Chong's injury this time is honestly not lacking in the intention of testing. If the Taifu princes really can't bear it, he doesn't rule out the possibility of recalling his son and making up his mind to kick out all the overseas Chinese and Taifu, so as to control Jiangdong's military affairs.But if they really do this, they may be able to successfully seize power and even stand on their own in Jiangdong, but they will also be criticized, and it will become more difficult to think about operating in Jiangdong in the future.

Shen Chong didn't want to restrain his son in Jiangdong because of his little obsession, especially Shen Zhezi showed his limitless future through the victory in Hebei.

It is safe to go back to Zhen Jiangdong, at least during the two generations of their father and son's life, Shen's position in Jiangdong will be unshakable.In the continuation of the fierce battle, there is no shortage of gambles in principle. Success or may reach the highest achievement in the history of the Wu people and enter China; if it loses, even Jiangdong's foundation may be overturned.

Such a choice, even Shen Chong found it difficult to make it. He was worried that he might seek stability for a while, and let down his son's ambition and talent, so he simply came forward to receive Director Wang, expressing that he was pretending to be hurt, but also It can be regarded as a little restriction and supervision on oneself.

Qian Feng saw that Shen Chong was silent, so he stopped continuing the topic, and instead said: "The empress dowager should have given up on sending Huainan king abroad. But the Chu family must not be reconciled, and Xu Zhen may be even stronger in the future. Fight for a while. Xi Gong has been in Xubian for a long time, and he should know that the king is the right choice. However, the rest are not necessarily. They are only afraid of military gathering and ignore the actual needs of Jiangbei. They are all very likely to be pushed out for selection.”

Shen Chong nodded and said in a deep voice: "This matter should be prepared early. Qingque is very capable and talented, and he doesn't need other means to take over Xuzhou. But right now, the battle is still the priority, and there are still fewer variables. Unfortunately, I am not free right now, otherwise I can go straight to Huaiyin to meet Xigong. At present, I can only let my fifth brother cross the river to Guangling, Huaiyin and other places. You also work hard on the frontiers, and you will inevitably suffer from food and clothing difficulties. Only when you have no worries about family affairs can you hunt for merit with peace of mind."

The fifth younger brother he mentioned was Shen Mu's father, Shen Ke. Shen Chong believed that his son was capable enough to restrain and win over those Xuzhou army leaders. The reason why he sent Shen Ke and his party was just to minimize the variables.

The best situation is to hope that Xi Jian can stay in Xuzhou for one to two years. At that time, not only Heluo will start, but the situation will also stabilize.

Jiankang City is destined to be peaceful tonight, I don't know how many private conversations there are, and the same is true in Yuanzhong.

After Huainan Wang Sima Yue left Shen Gongfang, he went straight to the inner garden to meet the Empress Dowager.When he returned to the garden, the emperor was also at the empress dowager's palace. There were some watches and seals from the pavilion stacked on the desk. The emperor lowered his head and carefully reviewed the empress dowager's expression.

After the Empress Dowager returned to the garden, at least on the surface, she completely separated herself from the government affairs of the court. She also turned a blind eye to those memorials and did not look through them, but it was inappropriate to bring the memorials into the inner garden.The empress dowager didn't dissuade, she just stared at the emperor who was at the desk, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and when she heard the emperor's request for instructions, she just waved her hand and let the emperor make his own decision.

Even so, the emperor still didn't dare to be negligent. After the reply was completed, he pushed it to the side of the case. While drying the ink, he also asked his mother to take a look.In this way, most of his thoughts are not on government affairs, but on observing the mood of the queen mother.

It was not until King Huainan walked in that the Empress Dowager showed a gleam of joy, and ordered the palace servants to serve carefully prepared meals, and only after King Huainan had finished eating did she ask about the journey to Shen's house.

The emperor bowed his waist on the other side, turning his head to look at the meals on the table pitifully, the corners of his lips were slightly moist.His diet and rest are very regular under the arrangement of his mother, so-called holding a lamp but not eating, but he is not yet physically mature, and he easily feels hungry, especially in the evening when he is eager to see his mother, so he has no time to eat seriously. Unavoidable fasting micro-Ming.

I hope that when he returns to the palace later, the empress can prepare some meals for him.The emperor licked the corner of his mouth, thinking of his considerate and gentle queen, a smile could not help appearing on Bai Nen's face.

A moment later, the emperor's heart was moved, he looked up, and saw the empress mother was looking at him with slightly frowned eyebrows, he was startled suddenly, and hurriedly lowered his head, the little thoughts in his heart disappeared.

Seeing the panic-stricken look of the emperor, the empress dowager also felt soft-hearted. Although she preferred the second son more, the emperor was her own flesh and blood after all.She admits that she treats the emperor more harshly, so that the relationship between mother and child is becoming more and more distant, but what can she do?
Orphaned and widowed, the lord of the country is suspicious, and she can only harden her heart to put away her weakness in the face of those seemingly obedient but domineering courtiers inside and outside. Thinking over and over about a small matter.As a result, I often have insomnia and night sweats, wake up from nightmares, and swallow tears in the dead of night.

Fortunately, the current situation has been stable in recent years, especially Jiangbei's frequent use of affairs, and the completion of the marriages for both sons with his own hands. The family and state affairs are all in order. Even if she goes to see Suzu now, she feels that she has no regrets.

Putting away those thoughts in her heart, the Empress Dowager asked someone to send a bowl of thick soup to the emperor.However, the emperor did not dare to relax, he only said that the memorial had not been fully approved, so he did not dare to drink the soup.

"It's good for the emperor to be diligent, and he needs to take a break occasionally. Your father used to worry day and night, and as a result..."

When Suzu was mentioned, the empress dowager felt sad, and she signaled her servants to temporarily put away the ink stationery written on the emperor's case.

Therefore, the emperor felt flattered by such warmth, and bowed his head and said: "After all, my son is dull, and he can only make up for his weakness with hard work. If he has the talent of a brother-in-law, he doesn't have to be constantly entangled in government affairs, and he can have more time to serve. Empress."

"Your brother-in-law, that is really a rare talent..."

Hearing the emperor mentioning his son-in-law, the empress dowager also showed a smile on her face, but the smile soon dimmed again, and then she sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity that Wei Zhou's background. It's more..."

Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager suddenly stopped speaking. It is still necessary to be cautious when speaking about the words of the suspicious minister, even if it is just a whisper in the court.

In the past, she even disliked that the Shen family was just a noble family in Wuzhong, not as noble as the old clan of the overseas Chinese family, but with the passage of time, she felt that this idea in the early years was still immature.

If it was possible, she hoped that Shen Zhezi was just a poor family, and whether he was so prominent or not all depended on the emperor's favor, so he was more worthy of trust.Even if one came from a lowly background, as long as one could be close to the imperial family, one would not have to worry about making achievements.

　I drank some fragments last night, and I will make up for it in the middle of the night today. . .Also ask for a recommendation ticket and a monthly ticket, it's the end of the month on Monday. . .
