Prince of Chaos

Chapter 227
"What do you think about this?"

After hearing his father's question, Shen Yongmao hesitated for a moment, but did not answer directly.

After Shen Shixing saw his son's hesitation, he nodded in satisfaction. His son had finally made progress, and he knew to think twice before acting.

Shen Shixing said: "Do you think this is an enemy of the world?"

Shen Yongmao didn't dare to answer.

Shen Shixing said: "Actually, so what if it is an enemy of the world? As long as it can rejuvenate Daming. Being a father doesn't mind being an enemy of the world. Besides, the emperor and the crown prince just need such a person to stand up and eat the king's salary for the father and be the king. Share your worries. It's time to stand up."

After hearing his father's bold words, Shen Yongmao looked at Shen Shixing in surprise.

Shen Yongmao said: "Father, what's the matter with you? How could the emperor be an enemy of the people of the world? Last time you were dismissed from the position of chief assistant by the emperor just because you raised the business tax."

Shen Shixing said: "No, my father has not been dismissed by the emperor. If he was really dismissed, now my father has already embarked on the road back to his hometown in Wuxi. However, after so many days, the crown prince is too old. The marriage is complete. But why is my father still in the capital? What does this mean? This shows that the emperor still thinks about his father's loyalty. The emperor needs his father to fight for him and overcome obstacles."

After hearing Shen Shixing's words, Shen Yongmao looked at Shen Shixing in shock.

He didn't expect that An An's father, who lived most of his life, would become so radical since the last Qianqing Palace incident. This made Shen Yongmao think of Zhang Taiyue, who was still in power more than ten years ago.

It's a pity that his father doesn't have Zhang Taiyue's power and courage, which has also caused him, the so-called Xiaoge elder, to be a misnomer. Not many people have ever flattered him and walked through his door to get promoted and get rich.

Shen Yongmao said, "Then what should the son do?"

After Shen Shixing heard Shen Yongmao's questioning, Shen Shixing stroked the goatee under his chin, thought for a while, and then said: "You don't need to do anything now, just stay in Xishan Nursing Home to serve Just be your sir."

Shen Yongmao's brain couldn't turn the corner with this arrangement of Shenshixing, why didn't he do anything?

Shen Yongmao looked at Shen Shixing puzzled.

Shen Shixing said: "It's the best attitude for you to stay in Xishan Huangzhuang, and after you go back, you have to let your family's shop on Wanli Street respond to the Crown Prince's call as soon as possible, and show clearly that our Shen family supports Wanli Street. The tax reform, and we must say this sentence, and say it to everyone, and talk to everyone. Don’t be coy and afraid, just do it.”

Shen Yongmao was a little confused, this arrangement was really unexpected.Originally, he thought that his father would let him write a booklet to support the Wanli Street tax system, but he didn't expect that Shen Shixing would directly and clearly ask him to stand up the shops on Xishan Wanli Street to support it clearly.

This kind of support is not expressed gradually. After expressing this way, it shows that the Shen family has completely stood on the same front with the crown prince. This move is very high!
Shen Yongmao replied, "My son has remembered."

Shen Shixing said: "Just remember it. Until the dust settles on this matter, you should stay at Xishan Huangzhuang. Don't come back at home for the time being."

Shen Yongmao understood his father's intentions, Shen Shixing didn't let him go home during this period, just to prevent him from being the target of public criticism in Beijing, and wanted to protect him to the utmost extent.

Shen Yongmao said emotionally, "Father stay at home and take care of yourself."

Shen Shixing waved his hands and said, "Go, go, you're not too old to be a father."

While Shen Shixing was teaching his son, Dong Qichang, the newly appointed imperial censor of Qiandu, was also idle.

He is a die-hard princeling, so after receiving the mission from His Royal Highness, Dong Qichang immediately activated his passive skill: social bullshit!

Dong Qichang quickly found a few unknown little censors in the Metropolitan Procuratorate who were depressed and had not been promoted for many years.

Even if these censors are thrown into the crowd, few people will pay attention to them, because their family background is too poor, there is no one behind them, no money in their hands, and the supervision yamen they are assigned is also an extremely ordinary yamen. There is nothing for them to supervise.

Moreover, once they do things beyond their authority, they will be isolated by other powerful censors. Therefore, the life of these censors in the Metropolitan Procuratorate is quite difficult, and I feel sorry for them It is the duty of impeaching hundreds of officials after hearing the wind.

It can be seen that to be an official in today's officialdom, without any connections or background, even if you become a censor, you have to be a mute honestly. It's really sad!
However, now that the opportunity comes, the new Yushi of Qiandu is an elegant and outstanding generation, with excellent calligraphy and painting skills, and he is friendly to others, and is a good person.

After Dong Qichang received the crown prince's order from Wei Zhongxian's order, he began to look for candidates for Shangshu.

First of all, this person has to be clean so that no one can tell which faction he is from. Secondly, this person has to be obedient, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Therefore, when Dong Qichang screened candidates, he also took great pains. In the end, Huangtian paid off, and finally let Dong Qichang find those few censors.

These censors are all from remote areas in the north, and they all come from poor backgrounds. There is only Susukida, which is less than a hundred acres, in their family, which barely supports them. I won the top three Jinshi, but the rankings are all 250. It can be seen that these northern candidates do not have an advantage in the imperial examination, especially because they are all from the poor provinces in the north. One can imagine their road to promotion How hard it will be.

Dong Qichang looked at these old censors who were older than him, he smiled and greeted these few censors who came at the appointment.

"Zhang Yushi, Wang Yushi, and Li Yushi are able to come to the humble house. Please forgive me for the loss of prosperity."

Zhang Cheng, Wang Jin, and Li Dexian heard Dong Qichang's polite greetings, but they all dared not take it seriously, and quickly bowed their fists and saluted, "I don't dare to be an official."

Dong Qichang said: "What are you talking about? You are all old censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Although Qichang was lucky enough to come from behind and become the censor of Qiandu, compared with the three seniors, Qichang is still a novice. From now on, We still have to rely on the guidance of the three seniors."

The three of them were flattered, they had never received such courtesy from an officer, what Dong Qichang said to them today could have moved them to tears.

Zhang Cheng couldn't help calling out: "My lord, you are so kind."

After Dong Qichang heard Zhang Cheng's "Sir", his eyes lit up.

In this era, adults don't just call them casually, adults are the name of father, and being called "adults" by a subordinate means that this subordinate has made up his mind to follow him wholeheartedly.

Dong Qichang stretched out his hand directly, and pulled Zhang Cheng kindly, "Come, let's talk in the room."

At this time, when Wang Jin and Li Dexian saw Dong Qichang treating Zhang Cheng with such courtesy, they looked at each other and called out, "My lord."

Dong Qichang cheerfully replied: "Okay, okay, let's all go into the room and talk."

Then Dong Qichang brought Zhang Cheng, Wang Jin, and Li Dexian into his mansion quietly, and started a secret conversation!
