Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 457

Shen Zhezi didn't want to see King Langya, not because he hated poor relatives visiting, but because his mother-in-law thought too much.

As early as when she was on the stage in Jingkou, the empress dowager revealed her intention to push King Langya to the fore, and wanted Shen Zhezi to be a friend of King Langya, hoping to use Shen Zhezi's influence to give this young son some power.

Shen Zhezi doesn't mind helping this little brother-in-law, after all, he himself has benefited a lot from the royal family.But the problem is that the current political situation is already chaotic enough, King Langya can just be a wealthy and idle king with peace of mind, there is really no need to jump out of the muddy water in a hurry, adding any unpredictable variables to the current situation.

Of course, this may not be what King Langya meant. After all, he is just a young man who does not know the hardships of the world. He may not have the urgent need to gain a sense of existence. It should be the empress dowager who wants to add a layer of insurance to Jin Zuo. Therefore, he intends to support the power of the clan.

But the so-called good from the top must be worse from the bottom.The empress dowager's own plan may be very simple, but with a nest of old foxes in Taichung, how can she hide her small thoughts from others.Once it is used and interpreted, no one knows what kind of trouble it will cause in the future.

A few days ago, someone in Taichung recommended Zhuge Hui to be the master of Langya, but it was not approved. Taichung was still in a stalemate. There were many discussions about this appointment, but Zhuge Hui was appointed as the master of Wuling.

This appointment reveals a lot of information.The Qingxu people are eager to win back a city, but they are not confident in breaking the alliance between Yuzhou people and Wu people.When the two sides are at loggerheads, the power of the clan will naturally become the object of competition and become conspicuous.The first push should be a test, but because the resistance is too great, it is the second best.

When the imperial power is weak, the power of the clan is naturally depressed.But when the ruling sects confront each other, there is a need to use the clan to fight against dissidents.

The most obvious example is that decades later, the small court in Jiangdong won the Battle of Feishui under the auspices of Xie An, and the Xie family's fame and power rose to the peak for a while.

Although Xie An himself retreated bravely, but to be honest, it is not that you can not fight without fighting if you want to, so other people recommended Sima Daozi, the close clan clan at that time, to attack Xie's family. The last bit of vitality of this small imperial court.When Liu Yu came to power, it is true that Xie's family has been seriously injured, but the other families will just stay where they are.

Clan clans are different from powerful ministers in that the nature of their source of power overlaps too much with imperial power. Once a struggle starts around this, the scene is very likely to get out of control.So most of the time, Shen Zhezi would rather take a step back than use the power of the clan to attack his opponent.If the right to arbitrate is handed over to others, it will naturally be controlled by others.

Of course, others will use him if he doesn't use it, but as long as Fang Zhen doesn't join in, things won't get out of control.Moreover, Shen Zhezi himself is a son-in-law, as long as he maintains his position and attitude, his very existence can restrict the rise of the clan's power.

Shen Zhezi sat in the flower hall for a while, but because of his presence, King Langya and Princess Luling became restrained, and their speech was no longer as casual as before.Often when Shen Zhezi asked a question, the two of them would answer cautiously with a dignified demeanor, which made Shen Zhezi feel like the parent of a monster.

"Let's talk first. There are still guests waiting in the front hall, so I won't accompany you. The princess will prepare a family banquet later, so go to the front hall and let me know."

After sitting for a while, Shen Zhezi also felt bored, so he stood up and said goodbye.

King Langya and Princess Luling hurriedly got up to see them off, Princess Xingnan frowned and said, "You have nothing to do right now, but you still have so many things to do! It's rare that you don't have time to receive me when my brothers and sisters come home. "

"It's my fault, but there are indeed guests in the front hall and they have been waiting for a long time. The family is also familiar and informal. Don't be offended, Your Highness and Luling. If you have nothing else to do, you might as well stay at home for a few days and spend time with sister. , lest she always complain that I have no time to accompany her."

Shen Zhezi said with a smile, and Princess Xingnan stepped forward to straighten his robe belt for him very naturally, and gave him an annoyed look: "Then you have to come back quickly, and don't leave foreigners at home today."

In the eyes of the two boys and girls, this natural exchange of actions between husband and wife surprised them.

The brothers and sisters all grew up in the garden. Although the relationship is not as close as that of ordinary people, they often get along together. In their minds, Princess Xingnan, the elder sister, has always been very aggressive. Even in front of the empress dowager, she often contradicts her. It has left a lot of shadows on them, how have they ever seen such a docile and considerate side of sister!
After Shen Zhezi was sent out of the flower hall, Princess Xingnan turned back and saw her brother and sister looking at her frequently with strange expressions. After a little thought, she guessed what they were thinking again, her pretty face blushed subconsciously, and then she frowned. Challenge: "Husbands and wives talk together, this is what it looks like, what's so strange! You all have to learn from me in the future, so that the family can be harmonious, understand?"

Sure enough, she was still the familiar elder sister!
The two nodded quickly in response, but they each had feelings in their hearts.

"It's no wonder my mother taught me to always ask my brother-in-law for advice and training. My brother-in-law is really a talented person who can tame this evil lady like my sister!"

King Langya murmured in his heart, and vaguely understood why his mother loved his brother-in-law so much. It really is a well-deserved reputation, and he can do things that others dare not do.

Princess Sima Nandi of Luling looked at his elder sister, but there was a hint of envy in his eyes: "My mother always taught me that no matter whether a girl is gentle or fierce, the honor and disgrace are always tied to her husband. Well, my father loves me the most, my husband and son-in-law are also Guizhang's good man, carefree, seeing my brother-in-law is naturally happy and docile..."

Princess Xingnan didn't know what was in her brother and sister's mind, so she asked the two to sit back and sighed with emotion: "Once a person grows up, there are always too many unsatisfactory things. In previous years, your sister-in-law was not so busy, and you could always spare some time. Take time to play around with me."

"Brother-in-law is the most important thing in this world, and those who are capable will work harder."

After Shen Zhezi left, King Langya also became more lively, but his eyes darkened slightly after a while.Whispering: "Sister, I always feel that my brother-in-law doesn't like me very much, but I, I..."

"You? You're just too silent, and treat your brother-in-law as alien as an outsider. How can he become warm to you. When Ah Liu came to my house, he was much more casual than in the garden, and your brother-in-law was willing to pamper him. .”

Princess Xingnan looked at her younger brother and sighed: "Don't just listen to other people's praise of your calmness and politeness and think it's right. Within the family, you should be more indulgent. The family will be tolerant and tolerant, and the friendship will be deepened. In the future, you will also You have to start a family. Although my elder sister is willing to help you, there is not much I can do. If your brother-in-law is willing to help you, then you can really get unobstructed."

"But, but when I see my brother-in-law, I'm always afraid. People say that my brother-in-law looks elegant and amiable, but once he becomes ruthless, it's useless to kill..."

King Langya's face collapsed, and he said in a muffled voice.

"Ha, who told you this? Your brother-in-law just doesn't show mercy to rebellious people, and you don't want to be that kind of person, what's so scary!"

When Princess Xingnan heard this, she snorted and said: "Our royal father also treats his family members with kindness and consideration, but he is skilled in commanding his subordinates, punishing and rewarding clearly, this is the majesty that a man should have!"

Shen Zhezi walked around the courtyard wall, and saw Yu Manzhi and Shen Yun walking from the direction of the stable with their shoulders crossed and their backs on their backs. They were still wearing hunting clothes, obviously they had just returned from hunting.

This kid Yu Manzhi has been staying at Shen Zhezi's house for a long time. A few days ago, his father sent a letter back to the capital, telling him to be more honest in the capital and learn more from Shen Zhezi, which gave him a reason to eat for free.Right now, he has no plans to do anything. After Shen Mu was dispatched to the construction site, he took over the team pulled up by Shen Mu, and hung out with those dudes in the capital every day, wandering around.

As for Shen Yun, Shen Zhezi wanted him to experience some experience, but he was still too young to find a suitable location for a while, so he was released.However, for the children of the aristocratic family, this kind of wandering around calling friends and friends is also a way to expand contacts, which can lay a foundation for future work.

"Consort."

"Brother!"

Seeing Shen Zhezi coming, the two waved their hands from a distance, and Yu Manzhi was still a little dissatisfied and chattered: "What's going on in the vestibule? There are so many traffic jams all day long, it's inconvenient for people to come in and out!"

Shen Zhezi hasn't disliked this guy for not doing his business for free, but this kid actually dislikes his house for being too noisy!
"Where did you two go? There are so many visitors at home, don't you know how to help out?"

"Ha, it's not us that those people want to see! Even if we meet, we'll come back the next day. There's no point in wasting time!"

Yu Manzhi chuckled, with a posture that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. After standing for a while, he seemed to think of something, touched his body, then looked at Shen Yun and said, "Where's the thing?"

"what?"

"Invitation card! Thank you for sending it this morning, I forgot where to throw it."

Yu Manzhi muttered annoyedly, and then smiled again: "Forget it, it must be lost. Son-in-law, Xie Er said this morning that Xie Gong will go to Wu Xing to take up his post in the next day. If you have time, remember to go there."

"Yeah, yeah. Brother, Xie Er doesn't plan to go to Wuxing. Like me, he wants to stay by your side to learn some knowledge of the world. He wants to stay in the capital and work."

Shen Yun said quickly, expressing his feelings by the way, a few days ago his father Shen Hong sent a letter asking him to go back to his hometown if he had nothing to do, worrying that he would play wild like his second brother Shen Mu.But the letter from home came a bit late, this kid has become a crooked neck tree, and he is not willing to go back to his hometown to be repaired by his father every day.

When Shen Zhezi returned home, Diao Yuan, the family order, told him about the matter, so how can we expect these two unreliable people to pass on anything.He was already planning to move on, but when he heard Shen Yun's words, he stopped again, looked at the kid and said with a smile: "I didn't know that Yunraccoon is so motivated. Since you want to learn, brother will naturally teach you. Sanlang you Anyway, there’s nothing else to do, so let’s come together.”

When the two heard this, their expressions froze slightly.Yu Manzhi glanced at Shen Yun with resentment, and Shen Yun rolled his eyes innocently.
