Yanlouchun

Chapter 18 The military power was given to Sun Deming

After returning to Zhen's Quiet Residence, Nanny Gui had asked someone to hang up a white banner.

After three days in prison, it was like a dream after leaving the prison.

As the mouthpiece of pen and ink above the imperial court, Shen Zhiyun was used to being a black hand, and under the pen of remonstrance, there were not a few people who destroyed families and ransacked homes.

When the deceased is relatives, it is known that the grief is overwhelming.

The distant mountains are misty, and the voice and appearance seem to be still there.

Born as a child, you can't show your face forever.

"Is mother happy these days?" Shen Zhiyun asked Lan Yu.

Nanny Gui cried all day, she couldn't take it anymore as she got older, now she went back to the house and lay on the bed.

"Master, everything was quiet a few days ago, madam," Lan Yu said.

"In the past, my mother wanted a stable Shen family, so I didn't care what they did to Shen Pingshan and the Jiang family. They maintained their appearance and pretended to be a harmonious family..." Shen Zhiyun paused, and then Said, "But now, there is no need."

"I don't think that Madam just wants to maintain the dignity of the family. She does this mostly for you. If the house is in trouble, you may have difficulty in the court. Although the young master can do whatever he wants at the moment, But it’s better not to act radically, everything should be done slowly, and it will be safer. Madam has a spirit in the sky, so I can rest assured.” Lan Yu said.

Thinking of his mother, Shen Zhiyun couldn't help but feel a little sour on the tip of his nose, "Don't worry, I know, I won't mess around like today."

Lan Yu looked at the sad and exhausted Shen Zhiyun at this moment, her blue hair was messy, and she felt a dull pain in her heart.

The young master has endured hardships in the imperial prison, and he has just been released from prison, and it is really pitiful to receive this bad news.

She has done so much being a man that people forget that she is only a girl in her early twenties...

"Young master, take heart. There is still a hard battle to be fought above the court. The madam suddenly died suddenly. The servant will help you find out. If it is fate, then there is nothing to say, but if someone adds black hands to it, the servant will help you find out. He will definitely let him pay with his blood!" Lan Yu was overbearing, she couldn't hold back the Young Master, for this matter in the inner courtyard, someone needs to support the Young Master.

"Thank you, Lan Yu...I have to trouble you to worry about my mother's funeral these days." Shen Zhiyun said.

"Don't worry, son, this is the duty of a slave."

On the other side, Gu Hanshu left the prison later than Shen Zhiyun and returned to the Gu Mansion, Han Baoting greeted him at the door.

Wiping away tears with a silk scarf, the voice was weak, "My son is suffering, and it's all because of Shen Zhiyun, who slandered you by talking nonsense..."

"Mother, don't be sad, your son is fine in prison." Gu Hanshu supported her mother, feeling helpless.

"You look dirty, and you said you didn't suffer much. Did the prison punish you? That's really horrifying."

As soon as the torture was mentioned, Han Baoting seemed to have thought of it, trembling with fear even speaking.

Gu Hanshu shook his head with a smile, "No, no, everything is really well. Does my mother look like I have been tortured now?"

"It's also an imperial prison. It's cold and gloomy. It's not pleasant to stay in it for a quarter of an hour, let alone a few days, and it will suck out all the yang energy." Han Baoting looked at Gu Hanshu with tears in his eyes, and carefully looked at it. Look at her son to see if there is any injury.

Gu Hanshu smiled helplessly, "It's really fine, let me change clothes first, I haven't bathed for three days, I'm already smelly."

"Yes, yes, you should go to take a bath and change into new clothes first, to get rid of the bad luck in the prison, and wash off all the dirty things. I will ask someone to light Tibetan incense in your room, so that you can get rid of evil spirits." Han Baoting pulled Gu Hanshu walked inside.

"What Tibetan incense? Mother, don't smoke some weird incense in my room..." Gu Hanshu felt a little dizzy. It seemed that his mother was very worried and miserable these days.

"Hey, it smells so good. People who know how to take care of their bodies always light Tibetan incense in the house. It's good for the body." Han Baoting didn't care about Gu Hanshu's resistance.

"Okay...but don't order it next time." Gu Hanshu could only back down.

"Is there a next time? Do you dare to be imprisoned next time, and you don't have to recognize me as a mother in the future!" Han Baoting was really angry. His son was imprisoned, and Gu Hanshu and his father were separated. As if nothing happened, she was the only one who was in a hurry when co-authoring, she had a good life this time, if she was more careless in the future, if she was imprisoned again, would she still have such luck?How many people went in and never came out again.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, mother, don't be angry, don't dare to have another time." Gu Hanshu comforted.

"It's more or less the same." Han Baoting was satisfied now.

"My father is still in court?" Gu Hanshu asked.

Han Baoting frowned, "It's really strange today, I haven't retreated at this hour."

It was only then that Han Baoting remembered that Gu Dao hadn't come back yet, and she was only thinking about her son all morning.

"Do you want to send someone to the gate of the palace to see if the court has retreated?" Han Baoting asked.

"No, there must be some important matters to be discussed in the court today." Gu Hanshu said.

"Father and son, as long as you know what's going on in your mind, I don't know anything about the affairs of the court." Han Baoting said, "You just came out of the imperial prison, so don't worry about these court worries, go and wash up quickly. Change your luck. I asked people to prepare a good meal today, and you will be lucky when you come out in a while."

"Well, everything is obeyed by mother."

After a while, Gu Hanshu changed his clothes and came out from the steamy inner room, his hair brushed and half wet.

"Your Majesty." Cha Dou heard the movement and called outside the door.

"Well, come in." Gu Hanshu sat down and broke off the remaining piece of Tibetan incense.

The incense was on the outside, and I didn't feel much about the faint smell in the back room, but now I was sitting next to it, the fragrance was so strong that I couldn't stand it, so I extinguished it.

Chadou pushed the door open and entered, "My lord, there is a white banner hanging at the gate of Shen's residence."

Gu Hanshu was surprised, "What white banner?"

"It is said that the eldest lady of the Shen family passed away this morning." Cha Dou replied.

"This morning? Did Shen Zhiyun go home at that time?" Gu Hanshu asked.

"I've heard people say that Shen Cifu went home before he could catch up, and Mrs. Shen passed away behind him, so he didn't catch the last look." Chadou said.

"Is that so..." Gu Hanshu sighed softly.

When she came out of the imperial prison, she learned the sad news of her mother, and she couldn't catch up with the last time, how sad she must be...

Chadou said again, "I heard from the servants of the Shen family that Shen Cifu broke into his father's yard with a sword at that time. At that time, besides Shen Shilang, there was his aunt in the house."

"Did someone get killed?" Gu Hanshu asked eagerly. He broke into his biological father's house with his sword.

Cha Dou shook his head, "No. That aunt didn't have time to put on her clothes, she ran out crying and screaming wrapped in a quilt, Shen Cifu came out from his father's yard later, and ordered that aunt to be put under house arrest, but there was no blood. "

"Good over there." Gu Hanshu breathed a sigh of relief.

"My son, the lord is back. Madam urges you to have dinner in the front hall." Outside the door, the maid beside Han Baoting knocked on the door.

"Understood, you go back to my mother first, and I'll come later." Gu Hanshu said.

"Chadou, these days, you let people watch the movement of the Shen residence."

"Yes, Shizi." Chadou replied.

"Trash! You can't even stop an individual!" Yang Shilin threw the papers that were not submitted this morning to the ground.

This morning, His Majesty's holy will has been decided, to send troops to the vast sea, with Xue Deming in command, it is bound to recover the lost ground.

"Your Excellency, please calm down." Deng Changchun persuaded, "It's really hard to guard against Jing and the eldest princess returning to the palace."

Yan Lun said, "How can a woman with so many pursuers and a few close relatives who don't pass the customs clearance be able to escape the pursuit by herself and her dowry cronies? There must be someone behind her to help."

Yang Shilin snorted coldly, "Gu Dao had already arranged for someone to go to Qingguo to look for the eldest princess. When my people went there, Jing and the eldest princess had already disappeared. I didn't expect them to go faster and find the eldest princess first. This way."

"Did Shen Cifu get out of prison this morning? What a waste of time." Yan Lun said.

When Deng Changchun heard Shen Zhiyun coming out, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Why don't Master Shen come and discuss with us?"

"I've already had someone call me." Yang Shilin said.

"No." Shen Zhiyun said.

Yang Shilin's servant was stunned, "Master Cifu, this is Lord Chief Assistant who asked me to invite you."

Shen Zhiyun said with red eyes, "Then please tell Mr. Shoufu truthfully. There has been an accident in my family, and I am exhausted. Now I am being suspended from my post. I am afraid that I will not be able to help Mr. Shoufu deal with the government affairs in the near future."

"Shen Zhiyun's mother passed away this morning." Yang Shilin said.

Everyone present was shocked, and Yan Lun said, "It's hard to be dedicated in the near future after encountering such a difficult situation."

"Then, does Master Shen know about Jing and the eldest princess?" Deng Changchun asked.

"He was locked up in the Imperial Prison, and the news was blocked. As soon as he came out, he went back to the Shen Mansion and hung up the white flag. I'm afraid he hasn't had time to inquire about the Hanhai." Yan Lun said.

Deng Changchun sighed, "That's right. His Majesty ordered General Xue to go out and order 20 troops. The battle is a certainty. The money from the household department was allocated immediately, so I dare not slack off."

"Shen Shilang Shen Pingshan hasn't gone to court this morning?" Yan Lun asked strangely.

Deng Changchun sneered, "Since Shen Cifu was imprisoned, his father was afraid of getting into trouble and kept complaining of illness for several days. He didn't dare to go to the court for fear of being involved."

"Shen Pingshan is not as good as his son!" Yan Lun sighed.

"Okay, stop talking about these useless things." Yang Shilin interrupted them.

"Xue Deming's military power is firmly in his hands, it's useless to talk too much, Shen Zhiyun is a criminal, so don't worry about him." Yang Shilin said.

Yan Lun nodded, "My lord, maybe we can win the round."

Yang Shilin looked at him, "Say it."

"The matter of Xuetian is still in our cabinet." Deng Changchun said.

Yang Shilin thought for a while, "The establishment of the school field in the south has indeed been delayed for too long. When the soldiers are finished, it is estimated that His Majesty will press this matter."

"When going south, it is a good time to recruit local officials." Deng Changchun said.

Yan Lun dismissed it, "The support of local officials is just a drop in the bucket for us now."

"No, whoever said that if he wants to win people's hearts, he can have a deep foundation in the local area, and whoever is not connected with the family in the court. If there is a handle, it is not the handle of him as a local official. It is indulged by the higher authorities. If If there are no excuses, we create some excuses." Deng Changchun explained.

"It's easy for you to say, taking into account the school field and being able to catch people's pigtails, who can have this city?" Yan Lun felt that this matter was not feasible, and the school field matter was a big one, and he couldn't stand such half-heartedness.

"Then there is no need to take care of the school field." Yang Shilin said.

"What do you mean, my lord?" Yan Lun was surprised.

"The cabinet sent two groups of people, one group to deal with the important affairs of the school field, and one group to go through various states and counties under the guise of the school field to win over the forces. And this time going south, passing through many states and counties, along the way, they need to spread some rumors, the three Seven people became snakes and tigers, ruining Xue Deming's reputation." Yang Shilin said.

"If you want to do things separately, you can really try it." Yan Lun said, "Is there anyone in your mind?"

Deng Changchun remonstrated himself, "Sir, I am born in white clothes and have no family behind me. If I do the job of wooing people, I don't have to worry about being turned into an army."

Yang Shilin nodded, "Yes."

"Xuetian still needs Shen Zhiyun to come. He has a solid foundation among the students. Qi Shenming returned to Chongzhou, and he will definitely not make things difficult for his students in Chongzhou." Yang Shilin said, "We have lost power in the Hanhai incident. Xuetian must not make mistakes. It must be done properly, I should let Shen Zhiyun handle this matter so that I can rest assured."

"But isn't Shen Cifu suspended now?" Yan Lun asked.

"The soldiers are out, and the name of the war is found, why not let this righteous teacher be more righteous?" Yang Shilin already had a plan in mind.

"Although the military power was given to Old General Xue, you have been suspended now, so you need to be careful not to be too conspicuous." Gu Dao said at the dinner table.

"Yes, don't worry, father." Gu Hanshu responded.

"It's enough to be cautious in your heart, but you have to be open and frank on the face, so that people will feel that there is no ghost in your heart. Now that the situation has been settled, Xue's army is attracting attention in the vast sea, and we Gu Wang's residence is attracting attention in the capital. We should keep a low profile." Gu Dao said.

Han Baoting picked up a piece of fish for Gu Dao, "My son just came back and his job is still suspended, so it's hard for him not to keep a low profile."

"Aren't you going to go out of Beijing to your niece's wedding in a while? Bring a little book so that the people in Beijing will stop staring at him and go out and relax." Gu Dao picked up the fish and chewed it Chew said.

"But Xiaoshu has not been cleared of his crimes now, so I'm afraid he is not allowed to leave Beijing rashly?" Han Baoting asked.

Gu Dao shook his head, "Those incriminating evidence are just expedient measures. They are false and false, so they cannot be used as evidence. There is a daughter of Xue's nanny, and her status is a bit troublesome, but now that the situation has been settled, the cabinet probably won't arrest her again. Let’s settle this matter. His Majesty’s temporary suspension from his post is only a buffer, and he doesn’t intend to pursue it.”

"Furthermore, the letters that pushed Shen Zhiyun into prison, the material of the letter paper is verified, and we know that it came from Jiangnan. How did King Qing use the letter paper of my Sheng country to send him a letter? That is the fake physical evidence that cannot be faked. Commander Shao helped us delay the report, and locked him up, Shen Zhiyun." Gu Hanshu added.

"In this way, those letters were all found from his study. He wanted to drag me to prison, and deliberately left something for us to bite him back, and drag him to prison. He probably didn't want to tear me apart from us. I'm afraid of offending the palace, so I won't hold on to that actor again." Gu Hanshu explained to Han Baoting.

Only then did Han Baoting feel relieved.

"Mother, don't worry. Your Majesty won't suspend me after a while." Gu Hanshu said, "Father is right. I should avoid the limelight. I will accompany my mother on a long trip. Thank you father."

Gu Dao nodded, "Let's eat, this table of delicious food, you just came back from the imperial prison, go to have a good rest after eating."
