Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 447 Leaning on a Pillar
When Shen Zhezi and the others arrived at Jianping Garden, they saw King Langya, King Wuling and other Zongwangs all standing in front of the garden gate, and when the cars approached, they all descended to greet them.

Seeing this scene, these important ministers in Taichung felt differently in their hearts.Since the Southern Transition to Zhongxing, although the Zongwang's position is awkward, the basic tone is to respect his position and empty his power. After all, his status is there.The last time King Zong bowed down to his courtiers like this was when Yu Liang murdered King Zong wantonly.

Naturally, Shen Zhezi did not have the power and prestige of Yu Liang, but now the clan kings put on such a welcoming gesture, which can only explain one problem, that is, the empress dowager's trust in this son-in-law has reached an extreme.

Although the current imperial power is weak, it does not mean that it is dispensable, on the contrary, all parties must try their best to maintain it.Although the current imperial power does not have the kind of supreme authority that dominates the world, it has another function, that is, the right to arbitrate.Once a conflict occurs, there is a stalemate where the power is evenly matched and each other can't argue with each other, which side the imperial power is biased towards, and which side will gain a great advantage.

Shen Zhezi naturally understood this truth, which was also one of the reasons why he tried his best to save the empress dowager at all costs.In troubled times, the army is the only reliable reliance, and everyone understands this truth.It is precisely because everyone understands how difficult it is to run a strong army without sufficient political guarantees!
The Langya Wang clan once held more than half of Jiangdong's army, but they were ingeniously resolved by the late emperor and cut off one by one.The strength of Liyang's army is the leader in Jiangdong, but once it is not protected by the late emperor, it will be destroyed crazily.

Even Zu Ti, who was in the Northern Expedition, managed to build a strong army in Yuzhou from scratch almost by himself, but once it became the climate, the imperial court immediately sent Dai Yuan to the north to restrain him.If you dare to resist, the whole army will fall apart in an instant!

Even the later Zhao Shile will follow Han Zhao Liu as a grandson for several years.Shen Zhezi didn't have any great generals, and he came from a Jiangdong Wuzong sect. He needed more political capital than the overseas Chinese sect. Otherwise, let alone a strong army, he might not be able to save his life.

When it's time to let it go, let it go, and when it's time to restrain it, you must restrain it.Seeing the kings of Zong coming on foot, Shen Zhezi got out of the car from a distance, and stood by the side of the road waiting for other people's cars to pass by. The kings have finished their ceremony.

"The country's affairs are difficult, and my brother-in-law is talented. I really can't abandon each other at this time!"

King Langya took a step forward, with a rather eager attitude, he stretched out his hands to hold the arms of Shen Zhezi who was about to salute.He was only about the same age as Shen Zhezi when he first came to this world, and his face was still immature. This posture was probably also carefully instructed and taught by the empress dowager. Although it looked awkward, it was full of sincerity.

Shen Zhezi did not expect King Langya to do this. After all, he has never been close to this brother-in-law. When he was unable to stop, King Langya's empty hands suddenly sank, and his whole body staggered. This made King Langya unavoidable. A little embarrassed, he took a step back.

Shen Zhezi finished the ceremony, and then stepped forward to help King Langya, and said solemnly: "Your Highness treats each other so dearly, it is unbearable, I am deeply moved and ashamed. I only hope that I can worship immediately, please forgive me." .”

The construction area of ​​Jianping Garden is not large, less than one-third of the inner garden, but it is well preserved.After entering the garden, the courtiers were first placed in a warm pavilion to rest, while Shen Zhezi was led by King Langya to visit the empress dowager inside, as if he was treated like a family, and wanted to have a private conversation.

After Shen Zhezi entered the hall in the garden, he noticed that the atmosphere was a bit oppressive. Princess Xingnan, who arrived earlier, was being held in the arms of the Empress Dowager. Both mother and daughter's eyes were faintly red, as if they had cried a lot.

The little emperor sat alone at the table, looking eagerly at the door. When he saw Shen Zhezi walking in, his brows and eyes suddenly became brighter, and he couldn't help standing up from his seat. He didn't remember to look back at his mother until he took two steps. .

After seeing the empress dowager nodded slightly, the little emperor turned around and walked quickly to Shen Zhezi, grabbed his arm and said with a grin: "Brother-in-law is finally here... I thought my brother-in-law was really tired of staying in Duzhong and wanted to return home." Township! Brother-in-law, if you leave, I really..."

Seeing the appearance of this family, Shen Zhezi felt a little embarrassed.I wanted to act, but I mainly targeted those ministers. I didn't expect to show the dependence of my mother-in-law's family on me.He hurried forward and saluted the empress dowager: "I feel hurt for a while, and I am lazy and discouraged, but I am tired of empress mother and His Majesty's worries. I am really guilty."

The corners of the Empress Dowager's mouth trembled for a moment, she waved her hand to signal Shen Zhezi to enter the table, stared at him and said in a warm voice: "Although you are young, Wei Zhou, you have experienced more frequent and serious things than my elders, and you have a proper movement and movement, forming a pattern of your own, On the contrary, I have nothing to teach you. But this time, you were snatched into the game and obsessed for a while!"

"The inside story, I also listened to your wife. That dead Xue Jitian was your teacher's disciple. He had a long friendship, but this time he was framed by others. It's hard to defend himself. This Xue Jitian is a righteous man. It is a heroic act to prevent someone with a heart from attacking and slandering Weizhou. Weizhou, you have always attached great importance to love, and you have feelings in your heart, and your intentions are fattening, which is also human nature."

Shen Zhezi opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.Facing the courtiers outside, he could calmly deal with it, pretending to be submissive, but facing this mother-in-law who couldn't understand the sinister heart, he was embarrassed to make more pretense.

"But Weizhou, have you ever thought about how dangerous the world is, after all, there are some things you can't avoid even if you want to. For example, people are sitting in the court, and disasters come from the sky. There are always dark-minded people in this world who can't see others Well, I always want to make things difficult for you. Living in a chaotic world, instead of retreating again and again, it is better to go against the current! Just like the first emperor, so what if the king’s family is too difficult to stop? Isn’t it because the late emperor made friends inside and outside? Fall in one fell swoop!"

Speaking of this, the empress dowager's eyes were shining brightly, which showed that she admired the late emperor very much in her heart, and she was very passionate.Only a moment later, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes: "This time, it's just a small emotional setback, if Weizhou you can't relieve yourself and insist on returning home, then I'm really disappointed in you. You must know that in the capital, you are not only good friends, but also close relatives!"

As she said that, the Empress Dowager pointed her fingers at the emperor and King Langya, and said with a gloomy expression: "The late emperor left behind this young flesh and blood, and I am not a decisive heroine in the shadows, chasing the sun and the moon until now. There are only two or three people who can be trusted by internal and external choices. Let’s not talk about the past, just say this time, if it weren’t for Wei Zhou, you forced the mob out and stabilized the capital, maybe, maybe... Would I have to take this pair of flesh and blood to go far away? outside?"

"Mother..."

Seeing the empress dowager's sad expression, Princess Xingnan couldn't help holding her wrist and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, queen mother, it won't happen, never again! It can help the country to live in peace for a long time!"

Shen Zhezi was also in awe when he heard the words. The previous chaos had left too much psychological shadow on the empress dowager, and it was inevitable that she would think the worst if there was any disturbance.He got up and kowtowed comfortingly: "Mother, please rest assured, Li Yang is arrogant and arrogant, and he still wants to be slaughtered. This battle is enough to shock the inside and outside, and no one dares to commit crimes again!"

The empress dowager covered her face with her sleeves, and it took a long time before her mood gradually calmed down, and then she looked at Shen Zhezi again: "Then Wei Zhou, can you tell me why such a bad thing happened suddenly in the capital? But the words are vague and unclear. I know they cannot shirk their responsibility, and they deliberately blamed themselves, so I dare not believe it."

This kind of openly questioning and alienating the ministers of Taiwan's auxiliary ministers can probably only be said by the empress dowager.However, although the Empress Dowager asked without any scruples, Shen Zhezi could not answer without any scruples.

It is already an open secret that everyone has an eyeliner in the ban, and you don't even need to bother to arrange it yourself. As long as your strength and position reach that level, someone will naturally send you interesting news.This is also an inevitability of the weakness of the imperial power, and it cannot be banned at all. Even if the cards are completely reshuffled and new personnel are installed, they will soon be eroded and riddled with holes.

If any family is strong enough, it has completely placed its own people, making it impossible for people to intervene.Then congratulations, the crime of imprisoning the emperor will soon be placed on the head.As strong as the Wang family of Langya, they will stumble!After all, imperial power is a shared existence right now, you can have more, but you can't monopolize it completely!

"Recently, I mostly live in other places in the eastern suburbs. I don't know much about things in Duzhong. There is no conclusion in Taichung, and I dare not speculate. But since my mother has a question, I will only interview the minister based on what I know. "

After Shen Zhezi pondered for a while, he said seriously.

The empress dowager nodded slightly after hearing the words. The reason why she believed in this son-in-law was because Shen Zhezi was indeed outstanding in talent and would make every appointment, but also because he was not arrogant because of his achievements, he was respectful and restrained, and his words were targeted. It's not good to talk about it.

"This time, the Ding servants made a rebellion. It seemed that the ordinary people were rebellious and rude, but they should have been incited and incited. I suppressed the rebellion in several battalions in the south of the capital, and captured many people who were not in the Ding family. Now they are all detained in Stone City. After the joint trial between Hou Hu Jun Mansion and Ting Wei, there should be results. However, before that, the minister has to participate in the Northern Army's middle marshal Tao Hui. No matter what the reason is, the Northern Army must be blamed for running away from the camp!"

Shen Zhezi didn't know much about the details of the internal organizational connections of the Danyang family in this incident.However, Tao Hui was one of the few incumbents in the Danyang family, and he was also an important general in the old guard, so it was inevitable that he should be taken down first.Even if the connection between the Danyang family cannot be completely disintegrated, part of it will certainly be broken up.

Shen Zhezi didn't complain in front of the empress dowager, or kicked Langya Wang to death was the real culprit who framed him.First, it is useless, and second, the capital still needs to focus on solving the Danyang family.

Now that things are going on, it is impossible for Director Wang to come forward to protect Danyang's family, and perhaps he has to take the initiative.In this way, he can not only excuse himself, but also regain some initiative to deal with the accountability of the local towns.So, this time, the Danyang family is beyond salvation!

　In society, I, Brother Shen, don't talk harshly. . .
