Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 41
Looking at the boy who was stronger than before, Yu Yi was in a complicated mood, first sighed, and then said: "I really failed your father's entrustment, not only failed to help him, but even failed to take care of you. If it wasn't for the reluctance to give up the friendship with your father, I would really have no face to see you again."

Shen Zhezi comforted him with a smile and said: "Uncle Shi, there is no need to blame yourself. You were trapped in Taicheng. This is something that I didn't think of at first, and my father also understands your difficulties. If he is not in office and entangled in common affairs, he would still want to personally Come to Jiankang to see you, to settle the suspicion."

"Shiju is someone who really knows me! It's my regret that I can't face him day and night and talk with him day and night."

Yu Yi sighed again and again, and then said: "Zhezi, you can open up a situation without sticking to the rules, and you are worthy of your father entrusting you with important affairs. The current situation can not but be said to be a very good result."

When he said this, Yu Yi felt a little lonely in his heart.For the Shen family, the current situation is naturally good. Shen Chong ranks as Fang Bo in charge of the big county, and he has more contact with the three Wu scholars to support him, and his momentum is getting stronger day by day.

But for him, it was not good enough, he failed to further deepen his friendship with Shen Chong, and even compromised with the Wang family under the pressure of his elder brother, in order to draw a clear line with the Shen family.The feat that originally brought him considerable fame in Wu Xing has also been criticized for it. Many people think that he was played by the Shen family.

This is the most indignant thing for Yu Yi. It is true that he was deceived by Shen Zhezi to go to Wukang before, but in the Shen's military camp, from making this decision to the specific implementation, he took the initiative and did it himself.How did those outsiders know what kind of struggle he went through to make a decision, and how much risk he took to succeed!

It's fine if he is not recognized, but he still has to bear such criticism, the grief and indignation in Yu Yi's heart can be imagined.Because of this, he especially regretted losing Shen Chong, his best friend.

At present, although he is the servant of the Huangmen and the emperor is near luck, he is not living comfortably.Even his elder brother Yu Liang, who is the head of the Central Committee, is constrained by all parties and cannot be stretched. As for him, he just copies and sorts out some unimportant documents every day. He can't be used because Taicheng made a mistake, and the emperor has a grudge against him.

This kind of life is very different from Yu Yi's initial imagination, and it's not even as comfortable as he used to be in Jiyang County.

Shen Zhezi can probably guess Yu Yi's state of mind at this time. Although his family has already sided with the southerners, he does not intend to give up his relationship with Yu Yi, but wants to deepen their friendship with each other.

The current situation of the Yu family is a bit embarrassing, but the trend of rising is inevitable. On the one hand, it has its own advantages here, and on the other hand, it needs such a force in the court to check and balance the Langya Wang family who is like a centipede.Instead of waiting until the emperor dies next year to join in the fun, it is better to start cooking cold stoves now, anyway, we already have a good foundation.

Therefore, when talking with Yu Yi, Shen Zhezi paid attention to his wording and attitude to comfort him.This makes Yu Yi, who has been neglected and distressed recently, very grateful, and feels that the Shen family is the door of loyalty, and does not neglect old friends because of the passage of time.

Therefore, the embarrassing atmosphere between each other has gradually been reversed, and the previous harmony has been restored.

Near the evening, the Yu family sent someone to pass a letter, saying that Yu Liang wanted to invite Shen Zhezi to the house after returning home.

Hearing this news, both Yu Yi and Shen Zhezi were shocked.Yu Yi is well aware of his eldest brother's temperament, and it is a rare concession not to stop him from continuing to associate with the Shen family, so it is really strange that he even took the initiative to invite Shen Zhezi to his house as a guest.

As for Shen Zhezi, he thought about it a little deeper. Yu Liang had now become the supervisor of the Zhongshu, the first administrative minister under the emperor, and also served as the general of the army, in charge of the promotion and scheduling of generals below the middle level.Even if the old man has become Fang Bo, the current situation of the Shen family is not bad, it shouldn't be enough to make him change his attitude and take the initiative to show his favor, right?
The first thing he thought of was, did Yu Liang want to use Wu Shi's power to plan some layout?Yu Liang wanted to seek solidarity and fight for the position of governor of Jiangzhou that was vacated after Wang Bin left office?
This may be very big, but Shen Zhezi doesn't think Yu Liang can succeed.Although Yu Liang is now an extremely powerful minister, his personal reputation is far from being comparable to that of Wang Dao, and his family foundation is too shallow to convince many overseas Chinese.

After finally winning the current situation, Shen Zhezi didn't intend to let his family be involved in the bloody struggles in the court.But Yu Liang made the invitation in person, and it was hard to refuse, so he agreed, and after telling Ji You, he went out to Yufu with Yu Yi.

During this period of time, apart from staying behind closed doors, Shen Zhezi also had another worry, which was Sima Zong, king of Nandun.Although they haven't met each other yet, Shen Zhezi can be regarded as a slap in the face of Sima Zong, and the power of the southern scholars forced the emperor to dismiss him from office.

This buddy is not a good man and a faithful woman, and he has a lot of strong people under him, so maybe he doesn't have plans to get angry with Shen Zhezi.For his own safety, Shen Zhezi also tried not to go out, so as not to encounter bloody incidents such as assassination.Even if Liu Meng and other Longxi soldiers can protect him, it would be very unpleasant to scare him.

However, Yu's house is only one street away from Ji Mansion, and the vicinity is one of the safest places in Jiankang City.Shen Zhezi wasn't worried, so he didn't bother Liu Meng and others to follow.

Not far away from Bird Clothes Lane, I saw a group of young people wandering through the city from afar. They should all be the children of powerful and noble families, surrounded by crowds of servants, accompanied by Chinese chariots.It was only when he got closer that Yu Tiao from the Yu family was among them.

Yu Tiao saw his second brother Yu Yi first, and felt a little uncomfortable, so he left the team and stepped forward to salute.When he saw Shen Zhezi sitting in the bullock cart, ecstasy immediately appeared on his face: "Zhezi Xiaolang, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you very much!"

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he felt a sense of shock in his heart. The tone and way of expressing emotions in today's people are different from those in later generations. There is always a rotten smell full of basic affection, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

However, Shen Zhezi always remembered the number one salesman he trained first, and when he saw him again, he asked with a smile, "Mr. Yu is calling for friends, where are you going?"

Hearing this question, Yu Tiao subconsciously looked at his second brother.During this period of time, his two elder brothers were not at home, no one was in control, and with the idea of ​​making friends, he wandered outside every day.

"Yangzhai Chu Jiye's family has a baby, and it's the joy of Nongwa. A group of friends and I are planning to go to congratulate." Yu Tiao quickly explained that going out today is indeed a rare business.

Seeing Yu Tiao swaggering through the market, Yu Yi felt a little dissatisfied at first, but when he thought that his elder brother no longer restrained himself from making connections, it was hard to scold Yu Tiao in front of his friends, so he nodded and didn't say much.

Seeing that the second brother didn't blame himself, Yu Tiao regained his courage, and then said to Shen Zhezi: "I haven't congratulated Zhezi Xiaolang Jun on becoming Ji Gong's disciple, why don't you come and celebrate together? My friends are not ordinary children. Each has a reputation and talent, and you, Mr. Ji, are under Ji Gong's family, so they must also admire you very much."

Shen Zhezi shook his head with a smile, and didn't want to participate in this kind of gathering.He didn't know the gentry children next to him, but he had some impressions of Chu Ling and Chu Jiye.

This is also due to "Chu Gong's generosity" in one of "Shi Shuo Xin Yu", which said that Chu Lin was well-known and was enlisted by Xi Jian to join the army. He traveled to Qiantang to stay. After knowing his identity, his face turned pale with fright, and he hastened to entertain him, first with arrogance and then with respect.

But this is wrong. One of the protagonists in the story, Shen Chong, is either a person with the same name, or a typo. Anyway, it should not be Shen Zhezi's father, Shen Chong.Because in history, when Chu Ling was promoted to Xi Jian and joined the army during the Su Jun Rebellion, his father probably had all his bones rotten at that time.Besides, with the old man's pissing nature, the Yixing Zhou family in Sanding Jiangnan would chop melons, cut vegetables and kill them cleanly, and would not care about a mere Chu Po.

This Chu Po was really prominent after the decline of the Yu family. He was in charge of foreign power as the emperor's father-in-law at that time, but because the family was not prosperous and alone, it failed to form a successful political force.

Yu Tiao said that it was a joy for Chu Tiao to make tiles, and it seems that the daughter she gave birth to should be Chu Suanzi, the later empress of Kang Xian. Originally, Shen Zhezi was also very interested to see what it would be like for the mother-in-law to drink milk with her bare butt.

But he still remembered Yu Liang's invitation in his heart, so he had no choice but to refuse.Besides, Naiwazi's bare butt is really nothing to look at, and it will only be worth looking at if it grows another 20 years.

Seeing that Shen Zhezi didn't plan to go with him, Yu Tiao was a little disappointed. He had recently tried to realize the capital operation plan of the fifth rank and three promotions, and he had achieved quite a lot, but he also had many doubts and wanted to ask Shen Zhezi for advice.

"Zhezi was invited by the eldest brother to come to our house as a guest. Besides, he is too young to go out for a drink with you. Don't hang around for too long. The eldest brother has already returned home. Go home quickly after going to congratulate."

Yu Yi gave a few more instructions, and then signaled the coachman to move on.As for Yu Tiao's cronies, he didn't bother to socialize.

When Yu Tiao heard what his second brother said, he weighed it up in his heart, and said goodbye to a group of friends, and followed him back home.He didn't have any friendship with Chu Po in the first place, so going today is just to join in the fun.

Besides, although Chu Po is somewhat famous, in Yu Tiao's eyes, he is a bit boring, far less refreshing and deafening than talking with Zhezi Xiaolangjun.He copied Shen Zhezi's quotations and carried them with him with him. From time to time, he took them out and read them carefully. Occasionally, he felt refreshed when he had new experiences.

Now that he can finally meet and ask for advice again, Yu Tiao naturally doesn't want to miss this opportunity.
