Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 400
In terms of seniority, Lu Ye is indeed among the best in today's industry.Now in the hall, he is also standing at the forefront together with Yingchuan Xunsui and others.

Earlier everyone spoke to compliment Shen Zhezi, but this old man drooped his eyelids slightly and said nothing.At this time, the conversation was brought to his mouth by Yu Yi, and he opened his eyes, scanned his surroundings, and then his eyes fell on Wang Bin: "It is common practice for officials in the country to learn from Zhongzheng. The rebellion of Liyang, But it was a shocking change in the country. To fix the chaos and help the crisis, the universe was infuriated, and the scholars and common people shared it, and there is no limit to rewards and uses."

Hearing this, Wang Bin blushed and retreated into the queue without saying a word.He doesn't have to be a villain to obstruct Shen Zhezi, but the problem is, everyone knows that he was beaten by this kid the day before yesterday, if he doesn't act, it will make people laugh.However, this old fellow Lu Ye blocked him back mercilessly, which surprised Wang Bin a little. You must know that for a certain period of time, he even regarded Lu Ye as an ally!
Hearing Lu Ye speak, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but look over.In fact, regarding his future appointment, Shen Zhezi already had his own ideas, so he didn't need to pay too much attention to the discussion of these people in front of him, he was just curious about what kind of ideas this wimpy old guy was holding back.

Although there are some conflicts of interest between them in the countryside, in fact, he has no good way to deal with Lu Ye.After all, he has been the leader of the Wu people for decades, and he has a deep reputation in the village. If he is too clear-cut to target, the villagers will not be able to accept it emotionally.

After refuting Wang Bin, Lu Ye turned his head and looked at Shen Zhezi with a slight smile, and then said to the empress dowager: "Although the son-in-law has not entered the country, he has made great achievements. Zhuoran, it is reasonable to use it out of the box.”

Hearing what Lu Ye said, there were whispers in the hall, and the empress dowager's eyes lit up, and Yu Yi also turned to look at Shen Zhezi, with a questioning look in his eyes, as if he thought that Shen Zhezi had something with Lu Ye in private. What communication.But Shen Zhezi just shook his head slightly to deny it, but his mind turned faster, thinking about the reason why Lu Ye spoke for him.

"However, although the current chaos is settled, there is still no sacrifice to the ancestors in the suburbs. The current discussion of merit is a bit hasty."

After a pause, Lu Ye spoke again.

When he said that, he didn't deliberately make it difficult. After all, in terms of procedure, the chaos could only be completely over when the ancestors were sacrificed.Only at that time will it be time to truly reward Shen Zhezi because of her trust and love, and now the Empress Dowager has given Shen Zhezi many special gifts, and even the court's discussion of merit rewards is actually a bit out of order.

After all, not to mention Tao Kan and Wen Qiao who are now in Jiankang, even Shen Zhezi's Lao Tzu has not yet set a reward.However, Shen Zhezi got the reward first, which is a bit inappropriate no matter how you look at it.

Wang Bin in the queue couldn't help sighing secretly when he heard this, regretting that he couldn't find such a good excuse.Sacrifice is a grand event, which can thwart Shen Zhezi's meritorious deeds without revealing deliberate targeting. When it comes to methods, Lu Ye, this old guy, is really much more mellow than himself.By setting aside this part of the time, many contacts can be made, and finally Shen Zhezi's award will be downgraded.

Just when Wang Bin thought he had guessed Lu Ye's intentions, the old man continued: "However, His Majesty the Empress Dowager said that the son-in-law came from the family, and was originally a Qiongzhi in the emperor's family. The court use can be postponed. It is right to use it at home.”

The empress dowager was already frowning secretly, but when she heard Lu Ye's words, her brows were already raised.Earlier, she had a slight resentment towards Lu Ye, but this old man's answer won her heart deeply.Although she is still seeking everyone's opinions, in fact, she has already drawn up an imperial edict regarding the reward and employment of Shen Zhezi.

The second-class founding marquis of Wukang, with [-] households in the city, the empress dowager also had a little selfishness in drafting this title for Shen Zhezi.As early as when she first arrived in Jingkou, she had already planned to make Shen Zhezi the county magistrate, but was dissuaded by Yu Yi.Now that this good son-in-law has made great achievements, in the eyes of the empress dowager, it is appropriate to seal justice now.

But she also had to consider Shen Zhezi's age. First, the young Feng Gong was too conspicuous, and second, with Shen Zhezi's shown talents, he would definitely make great achievements in the future.

If it is suddenly pulled too high, the future emperor may have no seal when he is in charge.So it's better to suppress it, and Wukang County Marquis was Shen Chong's early title, and now that Shen Zhezi was granted the title again, it was tantamount to formally confirming his qualifications to succeed the Shen family's head.

The empress dowager has also heard about many dirty things about the big clans fighting openly and secretly, so she naturally wants to stand by her daughter and son-in-law!And when Shen Zhezi succeeds in the future, the title of Marquis of the founding of the country will not be taken advantage of by others, and it will fall on his grandson's head.

It's all about the title. Regarding Shen Zhezi's role, the other empress dowagers can ignore it. There is only one thing she has already determined in her heart, and that is Langya Wangyou, which has been clearly written in the imperial edict.What Lu Ye said was that the court's use should be postponed, and the family's family should be well-suited, which happened to be in line with her wishes!
From Shen Zhezi's perspective, he could vaguely see half of the Empress Dowager's face. When Lu Ye finished speaking, Shen Zhezi happened to catch a little smile on the Empress Dowager's face. The doubts that had been in his heart suddenly became clear.

He changed his mind for a while, and he stepped forward and said in a concentrated voice: "I would like to thank Your Majesty the Empress Dowager for your kindness, and thank you for your kindness, but I have a word in my heart, I beg you to tell me!"

The empress dowager was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, and then she said with a smile: "Why do you want to express yourself, just tell me directly."

Shen Zhezi knelt on the ground and didn't get up, but said in a loud voice: "I am a commoner in Wuzhong. When I was dormant, I didn't have fun to nourish my spirit, I didn't have virtue to feed my hometown, I didn't have money to support my parents, and I didn't have a good name." As a minister, there is no meritorious deeds to report to the court. The first emperor did not despise his ministers, looked down on the countryside, and simply stood before the steps.

Great kindness and generous rewards, flesh and blood as a gift.There is no greater love than this!From China to North Korea, the kindness is unparalleled!The subject suffers from trouble all night long, but the king's kindness is so great that it is hard to repay it in case!When the board is in a state of turmoil, the master is covered with dust, the ministers are weeping when they flick the clips, and the soldiers are waiting for the edict.Fortunately, Her Majesty the Empress Dowager had the credit to drive the mopping up and destroy the thieves.

This is also the proof of His Majesty's appointment, the work of the logistics of the princes, the use of the soldiers to die, the way for the rebels to perish!The one I rely on is only God bless Jin Zuo, how dare I use human power to pretend to be God's will, and never dare to rely on this to seek luck!The first emperor favored me, and he should swear to die to repay it with blood!I beg Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, not to keep your eyes open. Whatever you do, do your duty. You dare not take credit for it, nor dare you invite it! "

"Wei Zhou, you..."

When the Empress Dowager heard Shen Zhezi's impassioned statement, she couldn't help but gradually became solemn, her eyes even filled with tears, and a lot of self-blame poured out of her heart.Shen Zhezi's words can be described as sincere, and the respect and gratitude to the late emperor revealed in the words, which makes people feel emotional after hearing it.

In order to repay their great kindness, they worked tirelessly and did not avoid danger, so hundreds of people went straight to the capital to rescue the king!Afterwards, he sincerely resigned, not wanting to hurt his will!What kind of feelings is this?

After hearing this, everyone in the hall had different expressions. Some even rubbed their ears secretly, suspecting that there was something wrong with their hearing.Most people looked at Shen Zhezi with disbelief.It is true that it has become normal to shirk rewards nowadays, but it is really rare to be as firm and sincere as Shen Zhezi.Could it be that this son is really indifferent to mingjue and doesn't take it as his duty to be an official?
An illusion, it must be an illusion!

Among them, the one who least believed what Shen Zhezi said was Wang Bin.He is well aware of how omniscient this kid is in order to become the emperor's son-in-law, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is a ghost of fame and wealth, so how could he shirk such a reward for his great achievements for the so-called kindness of the former emperor!For a moment, he really had the urge to jump out and take off this kid's mask, but he had already been blocked by Lu Ye before, so he couldn't jump out now to avoid humiliating himself again.

As Shen Zhezi's words fell, there was a long silence in the hall. After a while, Liu Chao, the general of the right guard, came out of the queue, looked at Shen Zhezi and said with emotion: "The words of the son-in-law are shocking, if everyone in the world can feel it. The kindness is so deep, why worry about the king! Why worry about the country! Why bother the common people!"

However, his voice paused again, and he sighed: "However, although the son-in-law's heart is commendable, the wind will gradually collapse, and the clean wind and dust will be polluted by the people of the time! Besides, the merits and rewards are all based on the etiquette system. Nor should it be abolished because of people.”

"Thank you for your teaching, but the younger generation is just at peace of mind, and people don't need to know me from time to time. When there is something wrong with the country, it rises vigorously; when the king returns to safety, he retreats calmly. The person who seeks it will live up to his life. How dare you expect others to know me?"

Speaking of this, Shen Zhezi has already bowed down again, pleading: "I was busy with military affairs earlier and had no time for other things. Now that the chaos has been settled, and the hometown is even more intense, I only ask His Majesty the Empress Dowager to allow my ministers to return to their hometown to pay homage to relatives! My mother handmade Plum wine, the sweeter it is when you think about it, the rest are tasteless."

"This, I..."

When the Empress Dowager saw Shen Zhezi saying this, her mood was even more complicated, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.She had planned for today's matter for a long time, but she didn't expect that things deviated from her expectations from the very beginning.

In the end, it was Yu Yi who came forward, opened up this topic, and discussed other things.However, he also had doubts in his heart, and he couldn't figure out why Shen Zhezi did this.

Shen Zhezi was calm, retreated to the end of the queue, and stood there obediently, waiting until the end of the court meeting.

Because it was the closest to the gate of the palace, Shen Zhezi didn't stay there waiting for others to watch after the court meeting, but left in a hurry.That calm attitude, on the contrary, made people feel sideways.

Not long after Shen Zhezi returned home, Yu Yi hurried over, and now everyone in Xingtai knows the relationship between their two families, so there is no need to avoid suspicion.What's more, he was curious like claws scratching his heart. If he didn't figure out Shen Zhezi's intentions, he would really feel restless.

The reason why Shen Zhezi made such a decision was after a long time of consideration.The meritorious deeds he created are too eye-catching. If he really wants to discuss his appointment and wrestle with many parties, the result may not be what he wants.Moreover, with his great achievements and fame, he has received many awards from the empress dowager and extra special gifts, which is already too much, which may affect his father to a certain extent.

Therefore, Shen Zhezi intends to slow down his pace, at least wait until his father's reward is finalized before he seeks his own progress.However, the main reason that really prompted him to resign in the hall was that he had vaguely grasped the intention of the Empress Dowager.Therefore, when Yu Yi rushed over to inquire, Shen Zhezi asked with a smile: "What is the Queen Mother's attitude towards the matter of accompanying the capital that my brother-in-law discussed?"

"The Empress Dowager appreciates and approves of it. If Jingkou becomes the accompanying capital, there will be many conveniences... However, what does this have to do with Wei Zhou's reward?"

Yu Yi still doesn't know why.

"What if the Empress Dowager prefers King Langya to stay in the capital?"

Shen Zhezi sighed, and couldn't help feeling that once a person gets involved in politics, he cannot remain innocent.It is true that the empress dowager has a lot of trust in him, but it is precisely for this reason that she probably wants to add more burdens to him.For the Empress Dowager, this escape can be described as a memorable lesson, if King Langya can be arranged outside, it is also in line with the meaning of the Three Caves of the Rabbit.

But politics is politics, and only one center can be allowed to exist. With such a sensitive identity as King Langya, how could it be possible to release the situation from itself!
Hearing what Shen Zhezi said, Yu Yi's expression also changed suddenly. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the empress dowager's recent behavior had indeed revealed such intentions.But for such a big matter, the empress dowager did not discuss it with herself, which shows that the estrangement towards her mother's family is getting deeper in her heart.

"Then Yiweizhou, come and see, what should we do about this matter?"

"The empress dowager is probably just a conspiracy right now, but the only plan for now is to determine the date of return as soon as possible, preferably before the Double Ninth Festival."

Shen Zhezi knew that even if the empress dowager had some plans, she still lacked the indomitable talent of a politician. He resigned today and was not rewarded. After returning to the capital to discuss his merits, he will naturally have many ways to dispel this idea. .

Moreover, today's resignation is not simply to avoid the trouble of King Langya.Liu Chao's words got to the point, the merits and rewards are all based on the etiquette system, Shen Zhezi has made such great achievements, how could he just resign at his word.

In addition to cooling down his status as a hot fried chicken, he also intends to play hard with those people in Taichung. Similar to Yin Hao's repeated recruitment is too low-end.Of course, with Shen Zhezi's current reputation, there is no need to rely on these tricks to confuse his reputation.If you want to play him, you have to play it once. It is best to completely block this road to gain reputation!
