Chapter 24
Yu Liang is less than forty years old, similar to Shen Zhezi's father, Shen Chong. In later generations, at the age of 35 or six, his career has just started to improve, but at present, he has become an important minister of Taiwan Province.

According to Jin Shu, Yu Liang has a beautiful appearance and a dignified style.Standing behind the brothers of the Yu family, Shen Zhezi was indeed dignified, especially in the official robes, and the posture of huddling in front and hugging in front and back, looked awe-inspiring and intimidating, and he dared not approach lightly.

Even in the face of his family, Yu Liang is still unsmiling, just beckoning to Yu Yi, signaling to follow behind him, which is considered different.When Yu Yi introduced Shen Zhezi, Yu Liang paused, his eyes wandered on Shen Zhezi for a moment, then he turned away and walked into the courtyard.

"Brother, he has such a natural disposition, and he didn't mean to be cold on purpose. Zhezi Langjun, don't mind." Yu Tiao stood beside Shen Zhezi and explained in a low voice.

Shen Zhezi nodded with a smile to show that he didn't mind, but he couldn't help feeling angry.The so-called nature will probably vary from person to person. The reason is that you are not important enough to be treated differently by the other party.This old man went to see Tao Kan after he got into a catastrophe, and he definitely wouldn't be in the bad luck of his dead father now.

Even though he was a little uncomfortable, Shen Zhezi had no choice but to pinch his nose and feel it.

After returning home, Yu Liang ignored other things and brought Yu Yi into the study for nearly an hour.The days of summer were long, and it was almost Haishi when Yu Liang returned home.By the time of the dinner party, the night was already very deep.

Usually at this time, Shen Zhezi had already fallen asleep, but now he had to cheer up and sit upright.Seemingly hearing something from Yu Yi, Yu Liang looked at Shen Zhezi frequently, with a strong sense of scrutiny, but did not speak.

This made Shen Zhezi even more uncomfortable. After eating a few mouthfuls of light food, he simply dropped the tableware and stared at Yu Liang.Watch him chew and swallow.

Probably never had such an experience before, Yu Liang noticed that Shen Zhezi was staring at him intently, and after a moment of astonishment, he stopped and looked back.

The two of them stared at each other for about a dozen breaths, and the others also noticed the abnormality, and their movements slowed down one after another, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.Sitting next to Shen Zhezi, Yu Tiao clinked cups to remind Shen Zhezi, but unexpectedly drew a stern stare from his elder brother, which also broke the embarrassing atmosphere.

"It's late at night, Xiaolang from the Shen family should stay overnight."

It was not until he stood up after eating that Yu Liang finally said the first sentence to Shen Zhezi, but he left without waiting for Shen Zhezi's response, which was really cruel.

"Mr. Zhezi, I really admire you for daring to stare at the big brother like that. If I were to be looked at by him, most of my courage would be dissipated." Yu Tiao walked up to Shen Zhezi, not hiding his embarrassment admiration.

"If you don't make mistakes, why should you be afraid of elder brother looking at you?"

Yu Yi also came over, gave Yu Tiao a word, and then apologized to Shen Zhezi: "Zhezi is tired, I'll send someone to prepare a room for you."

Shen Zhezi was even more curious about what Yu Liang and Yu Yi talked about, and waited until the others left first, before asking, "Can Uncle Shi talk about that plan with Yu Gong?"

"My brother is still a little hesitant, thinking that Yuzhou may not be invincible. But I argued with reason, and he also has his intentions. It's just that he is still a little worried about whether your father can quickly stabilize the situation in Kuaiji. Duke Yu of Kuaiji has long been a hopeless man. There's no shortage of solidarity, and it's not that easy to get this motion past him."

Yu Yi replied truthfully.

Shen Zhezi laughed in his heart when he heard the words, if Yu Tan could really influence the court situation, he wouldn't be so slow to recover after returning home from illness.The reason is that the father's choice did not conform to Yu Liang's wishes, which made him dissatisfied and he did not want to push harder.

After pondering for a while, Shen Zhezi said: "My father didn't make any contribution in this turmoil. It is wrong to seek Fangzhen. If you can choose a nearby place, you still have the support of the village. If you move to another place, you may not be able to stand firmly. Rather than being forced out and making things difficult to stabilize, and just arousing controversy, it is better to disarm and return to the field, and lie on a high couch."

Hearing Shen Zhezi's dejected words of wanting to give up playing, Yu Yi became anxious first.I learned from Yu Liang earlier that the imperial court puts the first priority on maintaining stability and has no intention of investigating the Wang family, so his situation is even more embarrassing.If Shen Chong stood side by side to share Wang's pressure, it would be easier.But if the pressure is all over him, the elder brother may not be able to protect himself.

Especially during the secret conversation just now, his elder brother directly reprimanded Wu Xing for being too aggressive and lacking in consideration, which made Yu Yi feel quite chilled.After all, is it because of his family that he took this risk?If it weren't for Shen Chong's forgiveness, he would be decapitated now!
"Zhezi, you don't need to worry. In order to achieve anything, you always have to think about it in many ways. I will contact your father to discuss this matter. Wujun scholars can also cooperate with each other. There is still a lot to do."

While comforting Shen Zhezi, Yu Yi felt resentful towards his elder brother in his heart.He has already passed his thirties, he has a strategy for dealing with the world, and he has his own judgment and understanding of the current situation, so why should he be reprimanded!
Shen Zhezi stopped talking and said no more.

A person like Yu Liang is overconfident, has a strong desire to control, and loses his mellowness. It is really out of date to face the terminally ill and seriously ill body of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.To put it bluntly, this guy is headstrong.

Although Shen Zhezi had long planned to contact the scholars of Wu, he still had to guard against Yu Liang's interference.If Yu Yi is conspired, Yu Liang should not slap his brother in the face, instead he can take advantage of it.

Staying overnight at Yu's house, Shen Zhezi bid farewell and left early in the morning.He really couldn't bear Yu Liang's face, and he didn't try to influence him, and even made up his mind to sit and watch Yu Liang play with fire and set himself on fire.

Although being ignored by Yu Liang, the other brothers of the Yu family were still enthusiastic.Yu Yi and Yu Tiao sent them out all the way, and when they reached Wuyi Lane, they saw the white flags of the Wang family dancing in mourning.Shen Zhezi suddenly had a whim, if he chose to deal with Director Wang, he would probably be happier than Yu Liang.

However, this thought also flashed in his mind. In the current situation of the Shen family, no matter who they deal with, they cannot occupy a dominant position. As for whether they are happy or not, it cannot change the essence and result.For the current plan, no matter what, we must first occupy a good position, and it is possible to change this situation when the time comes.

Life is not only poetry and distant places, but also the struggle in front of you.Three feet in front of you has nothing to do, no amount of fantasy is waste.

The Shen family's mansion in Jiankang occupies a lot of land, which belongs to the family's public property, and Shen Chong and other Fangxian paid for the construction and maintenance.As the patron, Shen Zhezi was warmly welcomed here.

After sending off the Yu brothers who followed all the way, Shen Zhezi returned to the courtyard belonging to his family, stood in the vestibule and waited for a while, Gu Yang came after hearing the news, but the news he brought back was not good.Gu Rong's son, Gu Bi, did not intend to meet him, and Gu Zhong also said that he was busy with work, so he only wrote a book for Gu Yang to bring back.

Shen Zhezi asked about the details of the two's responses, guessing that he was probably too young to attract the other party's attention, otherwise he would never have seen each other.Age is something that can only depend on time, and Shen Zhezi has nothing to do.

After inquiring in detail, Shen Zhezi also had a general understanding of the temperament of these two people.

Gu Bi inherits his father's shadow and inherits the title, occupies a prominent position, has nothing to do, and often talks about celebrities, regardless of the north and south, which is the most typical style of the gentry in this era.He didn't want to see Shen Zhezi, and he probably didn't want to go into this muddy water at all. After all, he was famous, official, and wealthy, and the Shen family couldn't offer anything that could attract him.Troubles are all due to being strong, and one thing more is worse than one thing less.

Gu Zhong's experience is similar to Yu Tan's, and his reputation is even higher, and he is the same generation as the dead Gu Rong.Shen Zhezi opened his letter and glanced at it. The letter was written to his father, Shen Chong. The whole text was written in an elder tone. First, he reprimanded his father for helping the evil, and then he praised him for being able to return from the wrong way. At the end, he exhorted his father Be quiet and wait for the court's fair ruling.

Crushing the letter into a ball and throwing it away, Shen Zhezi probably understood why his father was generous and generous.Dealing with such a group of old guys is too painful, and the problems that can be solved with money are really not a problem.

However, not all of the Gu family were like this. Apart from these two Xianzong clans, there were clan members from other clans who expressed through Gu Yang that they were willing to meet Shen Zhezi.It was not all fruitless, Shen Zhezi identified those members of the Gu clan who showed favor, discussed with Gu Yang, each offered generous gifts, and planned to visit one by one at the right time.

Now he also has a bit of the demeanor of his father who spends money like water, and the batch of goods he brought with him has been exhausted just by taking care of the Gu family and other clansmen.These people may not be able to decide the current situation, but as long as they can make a slight difference in other places, asking them to swarm up to praise the old man can be described as spectacular.

As for whether such a blatant formation of a party for personal gain would arouse the suspicion of the court, and he was already full of dysentery, and he was afraid of getting lice again?This world is not prosperous, a lonely and loyal minister is compared to whoever is more powerful.

This is the case here in the Gu family, but the situation in the Lu family is even worse.

The current patriarch of the Lu family, Lu Ye, not only directly rejected Gu Yang, but even some members of his clan who used to play seedlings in Wu County to join in the fun were severely reprimanded, making it clear that they would not cooperate.

However, Shen Zhezi was not worried about this. The current posture of the Lu family seemed impenetrable, but in fact it was best to disintegrate.It must be known that Lu Ye's younger brother Lu Wan is not clean, but Wang Dun's long history. In other words, if he really wants to compile a record of rebellious ministers, Lu Wan's ranking must be ahead of his father Shen Chong.

Such a big loophole, how could it be possible to stay out of it.Just come to nine shallow and one deep, even if you still say no, your body will become honest.

 The book review area is still unable to speak, and returning to the book friend Rising Sun Zhonghua, as far as time travel is concerned, the development of Jiaoguang Farming is indeed an option.However, there are not many reference materials, and it needs to be described completely overhead. It will be covered later, but it will not occupy the main space.
