Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 20

Yu Tiao, the youngest of the Yu family who didn't show up until the end of the family banquet, walked into Shen Zhezi's residence and yelled that it was too rude to live in the courtyard, so Shen Zhezi could only get up again and invite people in.

Yu Tiao was in his early thirties, but his manners were not as good as his brother's. He put on light powder on his face and his eyes were blurred. He rushed into Shen Zhezi's room and did not sit down. As a guest of my family, how can I favor my second brother but treat me as nothing!"

Shen Zhezi signaled Liu Meng who came to guard the door after hearing the news, and then said indifferently: "Mr. Yu is drunk."

"You don't have to worry about whether I'm drunk or not, just give me two maids by your side, and I'll forgive your rudeness." Yu Tiao reclined beside the table, his eyes wandering presumptuously over the maids in the room, startled The faces of those maids paled.

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he was extremely angry. In this world, the same rice feeds hundreds of people. Even though he has been a human in two lives, he has never seen such a shameless guy.

It's no wonder that there are historical records of several Yingchuan Yu brothers, but this one is the only one who has not been recorded.With Yu Liang's current power, it is not difficult to find an official position for him, and Li Zhinian is still kept at home, probably because he doesn't want to let him out to shame him.

Shen Zhezi waved his hand and asked the maids to retreat to the inner room, and then turned to look back, only to see that Yu Tiao's eyes were bloodshot, his vision was blurred, and his mouth was drooling. It seemed that it was not as simple as drinking.However, he was too lazy to deal with this guy, and was waiting for Liu Meng to throw him out, when the two Yu Yi brothers rushed in with their servants outside.

"Get out of this useless guy!"

Yu Yi's face was full of anger, and seeing Yu Tiao's appearance made him even more angry, so he ordered someone to take him away. Just as he smiled apologetically at Shen Zhezi, Yu Tiao struggled and shouted outside the door, and immediately he had no time to say anything, and went out angrily and said : "Seal his mouth for me, take the remaining soup and hot wine and pour it down!"

Hearing this, Shen Zhezi realized that Yu Tiao had just given up and rushed into him in a daze to lose his mind.

After a burst of noise, the outside finally calmed down.Liu Meng walked into the room, and said in a very low tone: "If the gentleman is not angry, we can secretly eliminate this person without leaving any traces."

Shen Zhezi waved his hand to signal to give up. Although he hated this Yu Tiao, it wasn't to the point of killing him.What's more, the father and the Yu family have just reached a cooperation agreement, so there is no reason to cause trouble because of such a clumsy guy.

After returning to the inner room and lying down again, Shen Zhezi noticed that the servants looked a little uneasy, and asked casually, "Are you worried that I will give you to that Yingchuan pervert?"

When the maids heard this, they all knelt down, not daring to speak, but the meaning was already very obvious.

"Relax, if you don't want to, I won't give you to anyone."

Shen Zhezi comforted them. These maids were of different ages. The older ones were seventeen or eighteen years old, and the younger ones were no more than eleven or twelve years old. They were all carefully selected. , can’t even talk about pity and love, and even now I still can’t remember their respective names, but I’m not used to taking people as gifts.

Early the next morning, Yu Yi rushed over to apologize. The facts of last night had embarrassed him, and he continued to make trouble until midnight when Yu Tiao's medicine was exhausted before he gave this ineffective brother a hard lesson.

Shen Zhezi planned to leave and choose another place to live, but Yu Yi stubbornly refused, promising that such a thing would never happen again.

In the afternoon, someone from the Yu family returned from Jiankang, and it was Yu Bing, one of the Yu brothers.In order to show the openness and sincerity of the cooperation, when the brothers discussed behind closed doors, Yu Yi specially invited Shen Zhezi to be present.

Yu Bing brought back the latest news from Jiankang. Yu Yi and the others were building momentum in Wu County, and the news had already been sent back to Jiankang.

As the danger of Shen Chong troops in the east was resolved, the pressure on the imperial court was reduced. Wang's army was in a state of chaos and fought back to attack Stone City but failed. Or go north to Hefei, or go south to Wuhu, it's no longer a climate.

Although Shen Zhezi knew that Wang Jun would be defeated, but after hearing the news, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.The situation is so difficult to control, the generation of powerful ministers who have been holding the imperial court has been disintegrated and dissipated like this, if the old man insists on going his own way and following the chaos, he will have to hide everywhere at this time, and it will be hard to see the light of day.

The court also responded to the tricks played by Shen Chong and Yu Yi.Yu Yi made meritorious service in recruiting and surrendering, and was promoted to be the servant of the Huangmen. He would have been rewarded with a title of knighthood, but was firmly resigned by his brother Yu Liang.Shen Chong, because of the signs of chaos before, except for the General Cheqi, who was transferred to General Anton, the rest remains to be discussed.

Hearing this news, Yu Yi was overjoyed. He was originally a humble official, but now he has become a close minister of the emperor. Such a big promotion is really rare.Although it is a pity that he did not get a knighthood, it is not a bad thing. There is something tricky in his great achievements.

Shen Zhezi also heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the arrangement for his father.Although the rank of General An Dong is lower than that of General Chaqi, Shen Chong's title of General Cheqi was originally conferred by Wang Dun for the purpose of plotting chaos. The court's arrangement revealed at least three meanings.

The first is to degrade the rank to show that the previous crimes are ignored, the second is to give up the plan to recruit Shen Chong into the court, and the third is to retain his qualifications to be in charge of the military in Fangzhen and Duduzhou.

Of course, this virtual name alone is not enough to explain anything.What kind of official position and power Shen Chong can finally obtain depends on the command of Hezhou County, holding festivals, supervising, supervising, and supervising the military, with different powers.

Now that the war is still in turmoil and it's not time for big rewards, Shen Zhezi doesn't expect his father to get a real official position now. As long as the tone is set, the rest only needs to be carefully drilled and operated, basically nothing will happen misfortune.

After knowing the most important news, Shen Zhezi let go of his hanging heart, and wisely found an excuse to quit.

As soon as Shen Zhezi left, Yu Yi, who was the youngest, spoke first, and sighed wryly: "I knew that the Wang family was so vulnerable, and the second brother should not have taken the risk to recruit Shen Chong. He should have died with the Wang family. Destroy it in one battle, so that the land of Wu will be flattened once and for all!"

Yu Yi had long regarded recruiting Shen Chong as the most proud thing in his life, and he did not allow others to question him at all. After hearing the words, he just sneered: "Shen Shiju's death, what good is it for my family? Childish, you are still young, and you still look at him." I can't tell the deep meaning of my friendship with Shen Shiju."

Being reprimanded by his second brother, Yu Yi felt a little annoyed, and said gloomily: "These raccoon dogs only know how to defend their own territory and make waves, and they never have the capacity to embrace the world. Keeping them is just to let the court indulge in internal friction, and it is absolutely difficult to be united. Return to your homeland in the north!"

"If one house is dead, why is the country in the world? The current situation is turbulent, and you think my family is as unmoving as Mount Tai?" Yu Yi's tone became more and more severe, dissatisfied with the young brother's slowness to the current situation.

"Second brother, Zhigong hasn't taken charge yet, so his knowledge is superficial, so don't worry."

Seeing the embarrassing atmosphere, Yu Bing quickly opened his mouth to mediate, and said: "Second brother, the feat you made in Wuxing, the eldest brother was also very relieved when he learned about it in Jiankang. If you don't eat, you will suffer. It's just you The situation was sudden, and it was difficult for the eldest brother to take care of himself for a while, and he lost harmony."

When Yu Yi heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Elder brother is worried and doesn't know how to arrange the residence for the scholars?"

Yu Bing nodded: "Shen Chong is a powerful man in Wuzhong. If he submits to the county government, not only will his own feelings be difficult to appease, but it will also waste your second brother's life-saving fight. But if you are in charge of the state, it will involve too much. After all, he is from the south. , and engaged in Wang Dun, and now he is in disobedience, under the attention of all parties, it is not easy to manage."

"I know Shen Shiju's character well, and he is worthy of being entrusted to conspire with him. Although he is from the south, he and I are already in solidarity at the moment, and it is by no means comparable to the friendship of the Wang family." Yu Yi patted his chest to ensure that Shen Chong could trust him. , he is now trying to win more for Shen Chong, so that he can get more benefits in the future, so his attitude is very eager.

"Even if the eldest brother can't trust Shen Chong, can't he still not trust you, the second brother?"

Yu Bing explained patiently: "What is worrying now is what is going on with all the parties. The big brother sent me back this time mainly to find out what everyone thinks, so that he can be more confident in planning in Taiwan Province."

Only then did Yu Yi feel relieved, knowing that this should be the case. This is the first time his family is trying to plan for the position of Fangzhen, and they should be more cautious. Dang Li nodded and said: "Then I will go with you to explore. Also, Shen Shiju already has power among the Wu people, and the Wu people can also rely on the strength of the Wu people when the elder brother plans his plans."

Yu Bing nodded, this is the main reason why elder brother Yu Liang decided to accept Shen Chong.Scholars in Wu Jun are working hard to publicize this matter in Jiankang, and it has gradually become a trend.Taking advantage of the situation is always easier than going upstream.Only by uniting all the forces that can be united can we use the aftermath of the turmoil to disintegrate the Wang family's momentum and stabilize the situation as quickly as possible.

In the next few days, Shen Zhezi knew that his family had survived the catastrophe, so he stayed at Yu's house with peace of mind, watching the brothers of Yu's family running around in order to seek the position of Fangzhen for his father.This is the advantage of having a backer behind him. Without the help of the Yu family, it would be very difficult to achieve the goal with the Shen family's own connections.

On this day, the brothers of the Yu family went out early again to visit family friends.It was a rare sunny day when the clouds cleared, and Shen Zhezi was basking in the sun on the Hu bed under the porch, feeling drowsy when Liu Meng, the soldier, suddenly came to report: "Mr. "

Shen Zhezi had long forgotten about that guy after not seeing him for several days, but he didn't expect that this dude still seemed to have a wicked heart.He was about to order him to be driven away, but he was in a good mood today, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Please come in, and I'll have a few words with him."

Liu Meng was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and when he looked again, he saw Shen Zhezi squinting his eyes slightly, with a vague smile hanging from the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help shivering.The last time I saw this expression was when I went to Kuaiji to get out of Yu Yi.

Thinking of this, Liu Meng no longer thought deeply, thinking that Yu Tiao should be lucky for himself.
