Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 144
Shen Zhezi's original intention of coming to Zhangjiayin Garden was indeed to earn his prestige, but seeing Zhang Jin weeping in the bamboo forest gave him a new idea on this basis.

Now it's mid-April, and the result of choosing a son-in-law is getting closer and closer.Shen Zhezi not only has no advantages, but has become the one with the most obvious disadvantages.This kind of gap can no longer be made up by brushing up the reputation, and the brewing and spreading of the reputation also takes time.If this situation cannot be reversed in a short period of time, the Shen family may be taken out by Zong Zheng.

The Wang family of Langya is a big overseas Chinese family, and the Zhang family of Danyang has Yu Liang's support behind it.Although both father Shen Chong and Qian Feng thought that the emperor should prefer Wu Xing's Shen family, the problem is that the emperor is inconvenient to speak out.So Shen Zhezi wanted to create an opportunity for the emperor to express his support for his family.

The appearance of this Zhang Jin is really appropriate. There are two elements of "filial piety" and "studying" in him to be tapped.These two elements, as long as there is a little hype, can be discussed at a political level.As long as there is a sensational effect, the emperor has a reason to put his beak and make a sound.

So after some weighing, Shen Zhezi chose this plan. "Wandering Ziyin" is not the kind of work of talent that makes people feel amazing when you listen to it, but the correct values ​​​​are impeccable.Poetry is not enough, money is needed. The 150 catties of gold in the box is enough to make anyone pay attention. When combined with the song "Wandering Zi Yin", it will naturally achieve a more sensational effect.

Therefore, he took out this box of gold today, and he would never take it back no matter what.

Na Zhai Zhuang said with a smile at the banquet: "Shen Lang's "Wandering Zi Yin" today is touching and worthy of being handed down to the world. Donating money with gratitude and valuing righteousness over wealth is also full of antiquity. How can people of the time see it again because of trivial things blame."

Shen Zhezi smiled modestly: "I owe a lot to Brother Zhang's teaching today, and I have gained something. Brother Zhang helped me to become famous in the world, and I should help him support his family. Specialized and beautiful."

"Everyone in this seat is a virtuous person. If you only want to be comfortable, you can give up your fame and honor, but you can't get rid of it. There is nothing to worry about in this box. If I want to help Brother Zhang, if I only take three pieces of hardware as a gift, wouldn't it be a waste of money?" Dafang's family laughs at this!"

Shen Zhezi bowed around the table for a week, and then walked in front of Zhang Jin, and said with a sincere smile, "Brother Zhang, will you help me complete this righteousness?"

Zhang Jin is no longer as panicked and cautious as she was at the beginning. Although she still doesn't understand why Shen Zhezi decided to give him so much gold, after pondering for a while, she made a decision: "Today I have received the favor of Mr. Lang. , I shouldn’t have any more plans. The gentleman wants to be righteous, how dare I pity my reputation? Thank you for the reward, and I will repay you in the future!”

After he finished speaking, he didn't hold back any more, he went forward and put the two gold ingots back into the box, but he couldn't carry such a heavy box by himself.

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Jikang, who had not planned to speak any more, couldn't sit still anymore. He pointed at Zhang Jin at the table and said sternly, "Are you really going to accept this box of gold? Do you know..."

"A gift from a good friend, I dare not say anything!"

Zhang Jin lowered his head and didn't look at Zhang Jikang, but his tone became a little blunt: "Also, my father made it clear that Mr. Ji Kang and I belong to Kong Huai."

The prestige of death and death, brother Kong Huai.Kong Huai is the nickname for the cousins. Upon hearing this, everyone subconsciously remembered that Zhang Jikang was called "Zizi" earlier, and the hall fell into awkward silence again.

After Zhang Jikang heard the words, his complexion suddenly changed, no matter how uncomfortable he was sitting in the seat, he staggered up and left the seat, opened his mouth to speak but didn't know what to say, covered his face and left with a complicated expression, he really had no face left to stay .

Seeing Zhang Jikang leave the arena, most of the audience could not remain calm.Ding Wei sighed at the table, and his expression was a bit distressed: "This time, the old man forced himself to be the leader, and he really caused trouble for himself."

He didn't expect that things would develop to this point, Zhang Jikang's words and actions today could be called clumsy, and he left the scene feeling ashamed.The Ding family is also a prominent family in Wuzhong, it's not that he has nowhere to go, it's just that he is a little bit disappointed when he thinks that he may have conflicts with the Zhang family in the future.

"Ding Gong also seeks benevolence and obtains benevolence. He wants to rectify the name of Zhezi Langjun and use Suji Mugong as a clear reputation. Now it is still unclear."

Ren Qiu said with a smile that he didn't want to do nothing all his life and hang around among the nobles as a casual guest, so he didn't feel much about offending Zhang Jikang.

Hearing this, Ding Wei gave him an angry look, pointed at Shen Zhezi and sighed: "I can't judge this son, his talent and learning, everyone in the seat can see him. What else can I say? Others talk about it with their tongues and teeth, so why do you need to say it again."

Although there was not a word of praise or criticism, these words were already quite high praise for Shen Zhezi.

Then Committee Ding turned his gaze, looked at Zhang Jin, and asked, "Since you have received this box of gold, what do you think it will be used for?"

Zhang Jin bowed his head and said: "How dare you enjoy such a generous gift. There are many people in the garden who are in a similar situation to me. I just want to ask Mr. Zhe Zilang to allow me to give the gold share to others."

Shen Zhezi said with a smile: "Brother Zhang already owns this gold, you can use it as you please, you really don't need to ask me again."

The old man of the Ding Committee pondered: "Use it for yourself, and distribute it to others. Fifty gold is enough. The rest is a hundred gold, can you give it to me?"

It may not be a blessing for a poor family to get a lot of money suddenly.The old man opened his mouth to ask for money, not because he was greedy for money, but because he admired and cared for the young Zhang Jin, hoping to share the pressure for him.

Zhang Jin was not a person who loves money, and he was apprehensive in accepting such a large amount of money. After hearing the words, there was no reason to refuse, so he quickly thanked him.

--------

A memorandum was placed on the desk, and it was jointly signed by the scholars from Jiangdong, donating a hundred gold to the Tai students from poor families in the capital.

The matter is just a trivial matter, but Taixue is the foundation of the state religion, and it is no longer up to the Zhongshu of Taiwan Province, so this memorial was soon submitted to the court.

Since the morning, the emperor has been sitting in front of the desk, his pale and haggard face showing excitement, and he is thinking about how to respond in his heart.After ignoring politics for a long time, when I picked up the imperial pen again, I felt a little unfamiliar, so that I didn't write it for a long time.

Thinking that I was still in power last year, and calmly dispatched, a piece of imperial edict was divided into Shaanxi and easy to defend, and the layout of the world was laid out.However, a sudden catastrophe turned this situation upside down. The gangrene broke out and nearly killed him. The emperor was unable to manage the affairs of state for more than a month. After his health improved, the situation was completely overturned.

Originally, Yu Liang, his brother-in-law whom he trusted, because of his position as the general of the army, while he was sick, he managed internally and externally, and the forbidden center had already fallen!

Then the emperor secretly ordered Jingzhou and Jiangzhou to bring troops into the capital to defend Gyeonggi, but the imperial edict was like a stone sinking into the ocean.So he understood that after Wang Dun was suppressed earlier, the grievances accumulated by many arrangements had already counterattacked.The situation in front of him is already the bottom line acceptable to each family, and he is no longer allowed to exceed half a point!

Today's him, like the late emperor a few years ago, has become a trapped dragon!

Even though he was unwilling, the emperor also knew that his fate would not be long, and he didn't want to cause any more turmoil.However, this incident made him realize Yu Liang's ungracious side, and when he thought that his wife and children would be entrusted to such a person after his death, he felt a little worried after all.

But for the current plan, he no longer thinks about major affairs in the world, and only hopes to find another strong support for his family before he dies, and he must not let misfortunes, fortunes, honors and disgraces be tied to the Yu family's hands!
Wu Xingshen's family was a choice that he delineated after careful consideration. In addition to Shen Chong's performance when he met with Shen Chong, which moved him, more importantly, although his family had a history of chaos, the emperor still entrusted him with the generosity of his relatives. Zong, etiquette is beyond tolerance!Both Shen Chong and his son have seen it, and they have the ability to change, and they will never do stupid things to give people the truth.

There are still many issues that have been considered, such as the rise and fall of various forces, the status of the Shen family itself, etc., but at the end, the emperor suddenly found that Shen Zhezi himself was the one he cared about the most.

Although he only met once, Shen Zhezi left a deep impression on him, and he can still vividly recall his words and deeds.That young man seemed to have a kind of vigor and vitality that was different from others, and his pattern of response was completely different from those of the high school children nowadays.Right now, he had to choose a good match for his children. Compared with those so-called Gaomen dogs, the emperor was naturally more willing to choose such a vigorous young man.

Even though he had such a decision in his heart, the emperor knew that it would be extremely difficult to achieve it.Wu Xingshen's family wants to be the emperor's relative, not only the gap in family status, but also the gap between the north and the south.Even when he was healthy, there would be some ups and downs in trying to do this, let alone the current situation when both inside and outside have been lost.

Therefore, he did not directly refer to marrying the Shen family, but avoided the resistance he would encounter through Zongzheng's selection of a son-in-law, allowing the Shen family to obtain a candidate qualification.At the same time, this is also a test for the Shen family. If she has no will or ability to match, she naturally cannot entrust her daughter to such a family.

Due to the current situation, it is no longer possible for the emperor to make any clear-cut voices to support the Shen family.Between him and Yu Liang, and between the courtiers, a fragile and delicate balance has been reached at the moment, and each other is cautiously testing the bottom line.

Although Yu Liang has mastered the imperial guards, he did not dare to reveal too obvious intentions to isolate the inside and outside, otherwise how could Wang Dao and others who are waiting by his side allow him to run rampant!Therefore, even though Yu Liang didn't want to choose a son-in-law for the princess right now, when the fact had come to pass, he could only bow his head and admit it, and then choose a relatively favorable result.

The emperor didn't dare to be too tough, he couldn't help himself now, and was confined in the confinement garden. If Yu Liang realized the danger by acting too aggressively, the other party might not have the determination to take the risk.

Even though he was in the garden, the emperor was not ignorant of outside information. Seeing that the Shen family was getting weaker and weaker, he also felt anxious in his heart, but he couldn't speak out.

Under such circumstances, it is really rare for the Shen family to be able to produce such a memorial, through the mouth of a group of Jiangdong hermits, to open up the blocked speech channel and give the emperor a chance to speak out!
After pondering for a long time, the emperor wrote like flying.If it was said that he had some reluctance to choose the Shen family to entrust the young girl before, then now he really has no hesitation at all.

　I will make up for the two changes owed yesterday. . .Thank you for your understanding. . .
