(Please bookmark, please recommend tickets! Thanks to book friend Rui Han for the reward!)

Under such complicated and weird circumstances, choosing a direct and loyal minister with no background to control the lifeline of the salt industry in the south of the Yangtze River is obviously the situation that the emperor would like to see most.

In the final analysis, it is still the word of interest.The interests between the Lijian and Shou Ningbo; the interests between Dongchang and Jinyiwei; the interests between the emperor and the officials
Xie Shen, who comprehended the joints, felt extraordinarily comfortable, and his whole body was refreshed.

After bidding farewell to Lu Yuan with Wang Shouren, the two returned to the inn to wait for news.

Sure enough, three days later, Wang Shouren's uncle, Wang Su, the deputy envoy of Yanyun, returned safely to the Yunsi Yamen. Wang Shouren and Xie Shen rushed to meet each other immediately after hearing the news.

When Wang Su saw Wang Shouren, he burst into tears. It was thanks to this nephew that he was able to escape and ascend to heaven this time.

"Uncle is suffering. It is a sin for my nephew not to rescue my uncle from prison as soon as possible."

Wang Shouren is naturally a loyal and filial person, and these words are not just for the occasion, but sincere and touching.

"If it weren't for Shouren, I'm afraid that the old man would have died of hatred."

Wang Su smiled helplessly and let out a long sigh.

Xie Shen found that this man, who was only around forty years old, had been tortured beyond recognition.Not only was his face unkempt, his hair was disheveled, even his clothes were crumpled up, and bloodstains could be seen faintly.

Wang Su must have suffered a lot in the prison of the inspectorate, and the gang in Dongchang were not easy to save fuel. The few days when Wang Su was taken away must have been tortured.

If he finds out a solution a few days later, Wang Su really doesn't know if he can survive.

"Uncle, I forgot to tell you. This is my good friend Xie Shen, and he came up with the way to rescue you this time."

Wang Shouren wiped away tears from the corners of his eyes and said excitedly.

Wang Su turned his eyes slightly, looked at Xie Shen, moved his lips up and down, and then gave Xie Shen a salute.

Xie Shen was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward to help Wang Su up, and said again and again: "You can't, Mr. Wang can't. The boy is just trying his best, and he can't afford such a great gift from Mr. Wang."

Xie Shen always felt a little strange for a middle-aged man in his forties to salute him.

"Benefactor, please accept another obeisance!"

But Wang Su didn't seem to hear it, and bowed to Xie Shen again.

Xie Shenzhi felt a little helpless, not knowing what to do.

After the worship, Wang Su said in a deep voice: "My benefactor, let me hear from you. After this incident, I plan to resign and go back to Yuyao to retire. If my benefactor needs it, I am willing to teach you all I have learned in my life!"

Xie Shen was shocked when he heard that.After this incident, it was almost a foregone conclusion that Cui Feng would take over, but this did not mean that Wang Su had to give way.He is a deputy, so he can continue to eat and die in the Yunsi Yamen.

How inhuman torture did Wang Su suffer because of this case, so that he could see through the mortal world and resolutely resign from office?

"Master Wang, why bother?"

Xie Shen sighed and said: "But if Master Wang has made up his mind, I don't have much to say. I have heard that Master Wang is well-read and knowledgeable, and he can write a good article. If Master Wang doesn't dislike it, I am willing to ask Master Wang for advice." .”

These veterans in the officialdom are all professional Jinshi backgrounds, and the level of writing stereotyped essays is not too bad.What's more, Wang Su is indeed well-known in the Jiangnan literary world, and it would be beneficial to Xie Shen if he could ask him a lesson or two.

As for apprenticeship, forget it, it's not that Xie Shen looked down on Wang Su, it's that the current situation is too delicate.

Apprenticeship to Wang Su at this time is simply adding difficulty to one's own imperial examination path.

Wang Su obviously knew this too, so he kept silent about the matter of apprenticeship, and the two of them had the right to meet each other through literature and just be friends who forget their age.

"Ahem, if uncle has something to say, we might as well go back and talk about it later. My nephew has already prepared the food and drink for my uncle."

"Okay, okay!"

Wang Su clapped his hands and laughed: "We'll go back and talk again. The old man was imprisoned by them for several days, and his legs and feet were already weak. Let's walk back, just in time to exercise."

As the sun slanted to the west, the three of them walked out of the Yunsi Yamen together, and strode towards the inn where they were temporarily staying.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

However, Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after having a secret conversation with Dongchang and Jin Yiwei.

Originally refusing to give in, Qiao Zongqi, who was going to die until his death, finally let go of his mouth and agreed to take a step back with Dongchang and no longer pursue the "crime" of Governor Liu De.As for Dongchang, they stopped pressing each other and promised to save the guilty minister, and Lu Zhongjing, the ex-salt transport envoy, was spared.

In the end, the two sides unanimously elected Cui Feng, the former judge of the Yunsi Yamen, as the new salt transport envoy.

This ending is definitely the most ideal for Lu Yuan.

For one thing, he didn't have to write a memorial to Liu De's "crime".Secondly, he didn't have to be caught between Jinyiwei and Dongchang, to be angry on both sides.

What scholars value most is the strength of character.He has a very good personal relationship with Liu De, and even made a marriage contract for the younger generation in his family.If he finally participated in Liu De because he was afraid of Jin Yiwei, he would be considered an unjust act by Jiangnan scholars, and his spine might be broken.

And after thinking it over and over again, he felt that it was a risky move to seek refuge with Shou Ningbo, and if he failed to do so, his reputation would be ruined.

Shou Ningbo's identity was too sensitive, and he was easily attacked. At this time, he rushed to the front to cheer for Shou Ningbo, didn't he give the old men in the Metropolitan Procuratorate a chance to criticize him.

This move may not be a big mistake, but it will drag him into the abyss step by step like a quagmire.

The authorities were confused by the onlookers, and they heard from their nephew that Xie Shen came up with the idea of ​​recommending Cui Feng.This kid is really amazing, if it weren't for the method he proposed, Lu Yuan might really be stuck in it and couldn't extricate himself.

It is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to deliver charcoal in the snow.Lu Yao knows horsepower, and time sees people's hearts.

On weekdays, this Xie Shen is indifferent, so he never thought that it would be so useful at a critical moment.

Lu Yuan also had good feelings for Xie Shen before, but it was only limited to good feelings.

On that day, Lu Yuan and Chen Fangyin enjoyed the beautiful scenery at Green Lake, and Xie Shen wrote several masterpieces beside him, which made Lu Yuan see his talent.

At that time, Lu Yuan just thought that this son was quite talented, and it would be a matter of time before he was admitted to the imperial examination.

In the past few days, Lu Yuan's perception of Xie Shen has undergone a huge change.

From Lu Yuan's point of view, Xie Shen is not like a 13-year-old freshman, but like a treacherous and cunning cabinet minister who has experienced ups and downs in officialdom.

Xie Shen's scheming city mansion and his way of doing things are impeccable.Most importantly, his ability to guess people's hearts has reached its peak.

In this world, the most unpredictable thing is the human heart.

At a young age, this son is good at guessing people's hearts. Naturally, he will go smoothly in the officialdom and his future will be limitless.

Lu Yuan unexpectedly gave birth to the idea of ​​cherishing talents, this son is not a treasure.If you show kindness to him today, you will definitely get a lot of rewards in the future.
