Chapter 895 Saint and Merit

When Mr. Shen was in the Ministry of War, he recruited the Chief Yizheng, and with his own resources, he pulled him to the position of Yuanwailang. Afterwards, Mr. Shen went out to fight, and Zheng Ling has been conducting military elections as Yuanwailang. manage.

This is an incredible experience, after all, he has completed from the head of the military selection department to the actual military selection department doctor in almost a short period of one month.

This kind of influence on the Ministry of War, even Zhongshu Zaifu, may not be able to do it.

In particular, the imperial decree given to him at that time was sent from the palace, not Zhongshu or the Ministry of officials. This shows that the holy family of Mr. Shen in front of him can no longer be described as Jane in the heart of the emperor. It is in full swing.

Now, at the age of 22 or [-], Master Shen is serving as the Minister of the Ministry of War. With this speed of promotion, even a fool would know how to hug his thigh.

Especially for Zheng Ling, hugging his thighs has a natural advantage, because he originally belonged to Shen Yi's faction in the court, but Shen Yi's arms were too thin and his thighs were not thick enough, so he can't be regarded as a Shen party.

Now Master Shen has fought several battles against the Qi people, and they all come back with great victories. The court breaks the rules and breaks the rules again and again, and is given the title of Minister of the Ministry of War...

Therefore, as soon as Zheng Ling found out about Shen Yi's entry into the palace, he left the Wuxuan Department and came to Shen's residence to express his loyalty.

He lowered his head respectfully, this is no nonsense, and said directly: "If it weren't for Shen Shilang's support, the lower official might not even be able to sit firmly in the position of the head of the Wuxuan Department, let alone be in charge of the Wuxuan Department as he is now. "

"From now on, Shen Shilang has orders..."

Speaking of this, Zheng Ling looked around, and said in a low voice: "If there is a matter of relegation or promotion of a military officer, you can greet the subordinate officials as much as possible. If the subordinate officials can do it, it is their duty."

This sentence carries a lot of weight.

If it is said that Shen Yi still had some influence in the Wuxuan Division after he left the Wuxuan Division, and he could have been involved in the affairs of the Wuxuan Division. Now that Zheng Ling's words came out, he has become the "Taiwan" of the Wuxuan Division. Physician", you can remotely control the military selection department.

Coupled with his current title of Minister of the Ministry of War, he can even be compared to the real-time minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs in charge of the Military Selection Division!

Even Shen Yi was a little moved, so he looked at Zheng Ling with a smile, and said: "Master Zheng is too polite, although I don't hold a real position in the Ministry of War, you and I are colleagues in the Ministry of War after all, and we worked together in the first division." In the imperial court, it is natural that we should help each other and communicate with each other.”

If in the past, Shen Yi had some vague concepts about the words "disciple and old official", then now, he finally clearly felt what "old official" is!
It's just not very easy to use.

Of course, the premise of this kind of usefulness is that Shen Yi himself is still in the court, and his power, status and influence are far superior to those of the old officials, so that he can exert his "old boss" influence.

In the same way, why is Zhongshu Wuxiang so influential?Because they basically climbed up bit by bit from the middle and lower levels, and I don't know how many former students and old officials they have in these years. Coupled with the identity of Zhongshu Zaifu, their influence is naturally terrifying.

Shen Yi's words made Zheng Ling a little excited, he stood up again, cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Minister Shen!"

In this way, the "Court Alliance" relationship between the two people is officially established, but the alliance relationship between the two people is not equal, and Master Shen occupies the dominant position.

The two officials from the Ministry of War talked for a long time in the main hall before Shen Yi personally sent Zheng Ling out of the house.

Immediately afterwards, he asked Lian'er to take him to the study room of his new home. After all, Master Shen hadn't lived in it for a day, so he really couldn't figure out the way.

Led by Lian Er, he had just returned to the door of his study and was about to deal with business when he saw Shen Heng in white, standing at the door of the study with his hands folded.

Shen Yi was thoughtful, walked to the door of the study and opened it, then glanced back at Shen Heng: "Come in and talk."

Shen Heng kept silent, and followed Shen Yi into the study. After seeing Shen Yi seated, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Brother just talked to Mr. Zheng, and my younger brother accidentally listened to it."

Shen Yi lowered his head and took a sip of hot tea, then looked at Shen Heng: "Why, I feel that my brother is forming a clique, don't you?"

Shen Heng hesitated for a moment, but nodded silently.

"The sage said that gentlemen are not partisan."

Master Shen pointed to the chair in the study and motioned him to sit down and talk. After Shen Heng took his seat, he burst out laughing: "Do you think your elder brother is a gentleman?"

"No, it's not..."

Shen Heng shook his head in a panic, hesitated for a moment, and said: "For a long time, the younger brother has been following the elder brother as an example, whether it is to take the exam or to be an official, but now seeing the court where the elder brother is, it seems to be the same as the younger brother. It was quite different from what I imagined…”

"It's a good thing you can see the difference now."

Master Shen put down the teacup, poured another cup for himself, poured another cup for Shen Heng, pushed the tea over, and said quietly.

"Don't wait until ten or 20 years later, when you bump into your head in the court hall, and then find that the court hall is different from the court hall you imagined. Those famous officials are different from the court hall you imagined. It's still different, and it will be too bad to waste countless years for nothing."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi paused, and continued: "Yes, the sage said that a group of gentlemen does not form a party. Although my brother does not form a party now, he does make friends with old officials, so he is not considered a gentleman."

"But another sage also said that a gentleman can deceive others."

Shen Yi looked at Shen Heng, and asked, "You have become a gentleman, and people come to bully you, what should you do?"

Shen Heng clenched his fists: "Naturally, it's straight to the point!"

Shen Yi shook his head, and said: "But a gentleman can bully Fang Zheng, and there are endless ways for people to bully Fang Zheng."

Master Shen paused, and said with a smile: "There are some low-handed methods that Zi Chang probably has never heard of."

Shen Heng was a little dazed, sitting on the spot at a loss.

Shen Yi walked up to him and said, "So, there must be someone who is not a gentleman to fight those villains."

"It doesn't matter if I'm not a gentleman, as long as I don't become a villain."

Having said that, Master Shen touched Shen Heng's head in a rare way.

Ever since Shen Heng became an adult, Shen Yi rarely touched his head again.

He smiled and said: "My younger brother is a young genius. He got a first grade in high school in the first subject. The future is limitless. Whether you want to be a gentleman, write a book in the future, or become a saint through meritorious deeds, it doesn't matter. relation."

"Brother has the ability to protect you, so that you will not run into walls everywhere in the court, and you will not fail to succeed in Shilin."

Speaking of this, Master Shen said with a smile: "In the future, history books will record you and my brother, maybe they will say that I, Shen Yi, is the brother of a sage, and that is also very prestigious."

Shen Zichang burst into tears, he stood up, bowed deeply to Shen Yi and said, "Brother, I don't want to be a gentleman anymore! I just learn from you, and it would be nice if I can do something for you in the future!"

Shen Yi shook his head slightly.

"I told you a long time ago that you and I can't take the same road. It's okay if my road works well. If it doesn't work out, I probably won't even have the chance to go back to Jiangdu to teach. When the time comes, my family and I, we will sink The whole family still needs you, Tanhualang, to protect you."

Master Shen patted his brother on the shoulder, and said softly: "Over the years, I have accumulated a lot of love with the emperor for my brother. You will start six rotations next year, and when you turn all six, I will go to the emperor. Let's see if I can transfer you to Zhongshu Walking."

Even now, Shen Heng has not yet reached the age of 20, has no weak crown, is not married, and has no official vacancies.

Therefore, it is not surprising that he has some "naive" thoughts about the court.

But this kind of innocence is by no means a bad thing.

In fact, it was precisely because too many people in the imperial court were covered in filth that Shen Heng's "innocence" seemed out of place.

If everyone has a pure heart like him, then the politics in the court will naturally be clear, and everyone will work together, and Haiyan and Heqing will soon be cleared.

That night, Shen Yi chatted with his brother for a long time. It was not until late at night that Shen Yi sent him out of the study and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't think too much after you go back. What's more, you will fill the vacancy next year. You should watch, listen and think more about the affairs of the court, but don't talk too much."

"You are intelligent by nature, you should be able to understand what brother said."

Shen Heng bowed again and said, "Little brother respectfully obeys elder brother's instruction!"

…………

In the evening of the next day, Zhao Shangshu came to the house.

Now that Shen Yi's family has moved to Datong Street, and Zhao's family is also on Datong Street, it is much more convenient to connect the doors together than before. Shen Yi only went out in the evening, and when he walked to Zhao's house, Zhao Shangshu just came back from get off work.

After seeing Shen Yi, even the calm Zhao Changping felt a little excited at this moment. He stepped forward and grabbed Shen Yi's sleeve, and said, "Ziheng is here. If you don't come, I will go to you." The family is looking for you."

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly, and said with a smile: "I just came back yesterday afternoon. Not long after I came back, I went to the palace to face the saint. It was too late when I left the palace, so I didn't have time to meet my uncle."

Zhao Changping pulled Shen Yi by the sleeves and dragged him all the way to his study, first he said with emotion: "Shen Yilang..."

"Uncle has worked hard in the imperial court, and it has taken him more than ten or twenty years to reach your position."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "It's just a vain job, and there are countless jobs."

Zhao Shangshu shook his head slightly, chatted a few words with Shen Yi, and then asked: "Is Yi An okay in Huai'an?"

"Brother took all the family members with him."

Shen Yi took a sip of tea and sighed: "Naturally, it means that the errands in Huai'an are not very easy to do, but fortunately, the elder brother is in charge of the government in Huai'an, otherwise my nephew will be tied up in many things."

He looked up at Zhao Changping, with a smile on his face: "However, after a year of hard work, it's not all fruitless. Now the Huai'an Army has established a firm foothold in Huai'an. It will be extremely difficult to move the Huai'an army again."

Zhao Changping nodded first, then lowered his head and took a sip of tea, squinting his eyes and said, "You fought very beautifully in the few battles in Huai'an, especially the few battles across the Huaihe River. The prime ministers in Zhongshu have nothing to say."

"if…"

He was silent for a while, and then said: "If the Qi envoy hadn't come to Jiankang, His Majesty would have made up his mind to take down the Zhao Clan by now."

Master Shen stood up, added a cup of tea to Zhao Changping, and said with a smile: "This year is not too far away, and in another year, the time for my agreement with him will be up, and then we will see if he will be cheeky and stay with us." Huaihe navy."

"The affairs of the imperial court are not child's play, nor can they be bound by an agreement. It mainly depends on the thoughts of His Majesty and the prime ministers."

"If they don't nod, Zhao Lu will not be able to retreat even if he wants to."

Shen Yi sat back in his original position, lowered his head and took a sip of his tea.

"At that time, Zhao Lu will really rely on the Huaihe Navy, so there is really nothing to do with him for the time being, but the longer he hangs on, the worse he will fall in the future."

Hearing this, Zhao Changping couldn't help looking at Shen Yi, and sighed, "Ziheng's horizons are getting broader now."

"I am Ganquan Academy for more than a hundred years, Ziheng, you can be said to be No. 1 in work!"

　I felt uncomfortable last night, so I went to bed early. For more than four hours, I was shivering from the cold in the bed. I woke up at four o'clock and started to make up...

　　What's more, this chapter does not push the plot much, I also feel it, but I think it is better to have a fuller character design, after all, Shen Zichang will still write in the future...

　　Thank you readers for waiting~
