Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 304

The empress dowager couldn't hear the temptation and response contained in the exchange between Yu Yi and Shen Zhezi, she just frowned and pondered.Although she greatly changed her view of Shen Zhezi, she also felt that her brother's concerns were not unreasonable. Since Xi Jian is not trustworthy, how can she ignore this hidden worry?
After pondering for a long time, the empress dowager finally said: "The late emperor died in his prime, leaving his sons and daughters to entrust me. Even if I don't think about the national economy, I still have to consider the safety of my sons and daughters. The emperor must be saved in the capital, and I live in Beijing to pass the edict It’s enough to be king. It’s just that Gong Xi can worry about it in the end. Weizhou, I will entrust the youngest son to your family Wuzhong. He was originally entrusted with the National Auditor, but now he is in his country, and his relatives live close by to take care of him, so I don’t have any worries gone."

Hearing the empress dowager's self-conceited plan to achieve both, Yu Yi's eyes suddenly bulged, and he was really speechless for this silly elder sister.I tried to test my words, but they were loyal and did not agree, so why did my own people take it seriously?

Seeing Yu Yi's weird expression, Shen Zhezi was almost overjoyed at the banquet.The late emperor's high political literacy really didn't benefit the empress dowager at all.It can be seen that the so-called near vermilion is red, sometimes it is very inaccurate.

Since he has already uttered his refusal, how can he take this hot potato of King Langya into his hands at this moment.Besides, King Langya's indifferent personality makes people feel a little less human, and Shen Zhezi still looks more pleasing to the eyes of the emperor who is still in the capital.

But he was not in a hurry to refuse, Yu Yi was already impatient and said: "Sister, you can't! King Langya is young after all, and he has been away from his parents' arms for a long time, after all, it is too hurtful for human relations."

When the Empress Dowager heard this, her face became a bit cold.Human relations?This word can't help but make her think of the elder brother and the younger brother fleeing the city. Although the elder brother is no longer there, this incident is a thorn in her heart.Now this little brother, actually still has the face to mention some kind of human relations in front of him?
Shen Zhezi saw that the two siblings were about to have a conflict, so he got up quickly and said: "There is no need to decide this matter prematurely, but the current plan is to leave the dangerous place first. Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, please live here safely, Xiaomin wants to leave Biji's family, beware of any traces of invincibility in the vicinity, and then dare to set out, and must send the Empress Dowager and King Langya intact to my uncle in Jinling."

Hearing that the son-in-law was so considerate, the empress dowager's face turned slightly calmer, and she looked at Shen Zhezi and said softly: "We are already a family, and after Weizhou, you don't have to be too polite and sloppy, just call me like a Xingnan. You are meticulous and capable Preface, I feel at ease in entrusting the safety of your wife and brother and I to you."

Hearing the mother-in-law's words pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, Shen Zhezi couldn't help feeling that a woman's talent in language is really inborn, and has nothing to do with IQ.After calling his mother in response, he bowed his hands to Yu Yi, who was more and more embarrassed, and then said goodbye and left.

Earlier, Shen Zhezi's plan was to stay in the capital by himself, take care of the princess on the one hand, and King Langya on the other hand, and then move quickly.The unexpected delay of a few days, which is still more serious in the severe situation around Gyeonggi today, is inevitable. After meeting the empress dowager, he asked his family to pack up and sent out scouts to prepare to leave quickly.

Taking advantage of some free time, Shen Zhezi went to see Du He and Chu Jiye again.He just entrusted Du He with the matter of King Langya, but he didn't expect that Du He would drag Chu Jiye into the water, which was also a surprise to him.

The Yangzhai Chu family is also considered to be a relatively well-known family with the old surname in the North, but it is a bit inferior politically at the moment. It is because the clan members are scattered from the south and do not have as strong a cohesion as the other families.Without the support of a strong clan force, this is a very serious flaw nowadays.Just like Wen Qiao, although his position is already significant, it is far from being able to gather a force, and can only be used as a bargaining chip to be wooed.

This is exactly the case for the Chu family, and Chu Jiye is only a junior in the capital.Although his cousin Chu Yi is an official servant and a close minister of the emperor, he has no real authority.But it is always beneficial to draw more overseas Chinese into one's side.

Today, the isolation between the North and the South is still serious, but the integration of the North and the South is the general trend.All the efforts Shen Zhezi had made in the past were to package his family as an atypical southern family, and marrying Princess Xingnan was a milestone victory.

With this level of status as an imperial relative, he was able to flourish in the capital in the past few years, and the guests on his seat were not restricted from north to south.It seems that it is just a lively appearance, but the intention behind it is to pave the way for the Shen family to govern in the future with southerners.Like Yinjue and Shangmeng, the intentions behind it are also related to this.Although this process is tortuous, at least so far, it has been more than half of it bit by bit.

This time Chu Jiye is willing to conspire with Du He to snatch King Langya from the Wang family, which also reflects the acceptance of the Shen family by the Qiaomen today.They no longer reject the use of the Shen family to achieve their political intentions, which is also an exciting thing for Shen Zhezi.Even if he is not optimistic about these overseas Chinese families, the resources they possess have made Shen Zhezi covet for a long time.

So after seeing Chu Jiye, Shen Zhezi was also very enthusiastic.Among other things, the mere fact that Chu Jiye helped him to copy the Langya Wang family's retreat deserves Shen Zhezi's respect.He could guess that Director Wang had deep resentment towards Chu Jiye now, and that if Chu Jiye wanted to seek any political progress in the future, he would probably be the only one he could rely on.

In addition to the warm reception to Chu Jiye, Shen Zhezi also praised Du He a lot.A capable person can do ten things well. Du He judged the situation, and with the ability to make changes, Shen Zhezi was more at ease in entrusting him with more things to do.

In addition to thanking them, Shen Zhezi informed them of their plan to go to Jinling later.Hearing this, Du He and Chu Jiye couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, from which it can be seen that Shen Zhezi has not lost his mind.

In the evening, Shen Mu returned and brought back nearly two thousand soldiers from the Qu Family.This is only part of the strength of the Shen family here, there are still more than a thousand people in Jurong, and the two counties together have nearly 5000 people, enough to deliver the Empress Dowager and King Langya to Jinling safely.The reason why there are so many people is because the old man Shen Chong went to Qu'a to increase his troops after learning of Shen Zhezi's decision.Shen Zhezi guessed that his father probably loves and hates him now.

While Shen Mu recalled the trilogy, he also brought back a worrying news, that is, Wang Shubu, who was cruising in the suburbs of Beijing, was approaching Qu'a.

This news was not surprising, especially when it touched a string in Shen Zhezi's heart.Wang Shu has never been a good opponent, if he knows that the Empress Dowager and King Langya are both in his hands, he may use force to snatch them.

Despite this worry, Shen Zhezi did not lose his mind. Instead, he gathered a group of core participants to discuss carefully, and roughly reached a conclusion.Wang Shu's approach to Qu'a was not necessarily because of learning about this matter, it was more likely because he was greedy for the troops gathered here by the Shen family.

After all, Wang Shu controls the military in western Zhejiang. In theory, all the troops around Gyeonggi must be controlled by him.In today's chaotic situation, everyone knows that the more soldiers in hand, the greater the benefits can be sought and the more important the position can be obtained.

But even if the worst happens, Wang Shu is really here for the Empress Dowager and King Langya, and Shen Zhezi is not afraid of him.After all, apart from Qu'a's own family, Ji You still has thousands of defeated soldiers.The soldiers in Wang Shu's hands are already the only bargaining chips left for the Wang family. Director Wang in Taichung is on the verge of being abandoned at any time. Shen Zhezi is sure that Wang Shu will not dare to mess around.

In the early morning of the next day, a visitor came to Yunyang Village. It was Wang Shujun's Sima Yangben. His father Yangman died in battle outside Jiankang City earlier, so Yangben came here as a filial piety.

Shen Zhezi invited Yang Ben into the village and exchanged greetings. Although they were about the same age, they each had social circles, so they couldn't hang out together.After a while, Yang Ben directly explained the intention of coming: "Weizhou also knows that the current situation in the capital is like this. The king's envoys go out to supervise the west of Zhejiang, but because of the small number of them, they dare not boast. The envoy I know that Wei Zhou is loyal and upholding, and he is close to Suzu, I hope Wei Zhou can put the state affairs first, lead the people to the king and envoy, and work together to break the bandits."

"What Shi Yong said really touches my heart. It's just that I am white now, and although there is no shortage of Dingli in Zhuangzhong, what name do I have to gather people together? If the name is not correct, the righteousness will not be attached. If I act arrogantly for a while, I will cause disaster What is the difference between Liyang and Liyang in Gyeonggi?"

Shen Zhezi smiled wryly after hearing the words. No matter how high the official position of Wang Shu is, he only has the power to oversee the army, but has no responsibility to govern the people.As long as he doesn't mention himself, even if more than [-] people gather in the village, as long as they don't act righteously, Wang Shu can't control him.

Yang Ben knew early on that it would be difficult to persuade Shen Zhezi, so he sighed after hearing the words: "The Zhongshu made a mistake, which caused a catastrophe, and everyone who heard it in the universe felt sorry for it. I also know that Wei Zhou suffered from the Zhongshu, and it is unreasonable to blame him for the innocent Wang Shijun is in charge of military affairs, and this time I am sent here, and it is also due to the festival, but I hope that Wei Zhou can put aside his past grievances and help the country together."

With that said, he handed Shen Zhezi a letter of appointment.Shen Zhezi was amused when he took it over and saw it. In the book, Wang Shu stated that he was a mighty general, and that he was actually a military supervisor, so he was very sincere.However, Shen Zhezi would not think that Wang Shu had any kindness towards him. He first presented the soldiers outside, and then sent envoys to see him. The intention behind it was that he would accept the appointment even if he did not accept it.

However, Shen Zhezi sneered, tore up the letter of appointment in front of Yang Ben, and then pointed at him and scolded him: "Yang Shiyong, I respect your loyalty and treat you as a distinguished guest, how dare you do that?" Humiliate me? Could it be that in your eyes, I, Shen Weizhou, is no more than a military talent! Although I am only white, I am not a ghost of fame and fortune. I can't do what happened today!"

After finishing speaking, he walked away and left Yang Ben on the spot.The reason for his refusal today is the arguments held by the Qingwang family like the Taishan Yang family in the past. It was a great humiliation.

Yang Ben also didn't expect that Shen Zhezi's self-esteem was so strong, and his reaction was so huge, even if he froze there.When he got up and chased after him to make an excuse, Shen Zhezi turned a blind eye and lingered for a long time, so he had to leave and return to his command.

　Let’s talk about the military system again. In the previous chapters, Kuaiji has rich money and food and weak soldiers. The reason why we say weak soldiers is that Kuaiji is not a traditional military state. Although Shen Chong supervises the military, he does not have many government troops, and they are all armed. The loose county soldiers and family soldiers are not included in this list.For example, when the Shen family was preparing to rebel, they were able to mobilize an army of 1 to [-], and Kuaiji Yutan could also organize more than [-] rebel troops. These are not the troops that the government has under normal control.Once something happens, Wuzhong's army usually exists in the form of a rebel army, so it is said to be weak.
