    Kaifeng Prefecture, Yanjin County, Lintingyi "When I came out, all the demons and ghosts jumped out to make excuses. My boss said there were also excuses to impeach you. It's just that I left in a hurry. I didn't wait for the people behind me, and there would be people after me."  The letter has been sent. My boss has made arrangements, and there will be no delay." Even though he knew that Shen Rui had sent people to guard the outside, Wang Guangzi still looked around cautiously and gestured to Shen Rui to lean over.  Come and listen.  He lowered his voice very low, "My boss said that regarding the vassal clan, I just stepped into the mud and made the second master think twice. He would rather not do it than dirty his own family." Shen Rui couldn't help but look on his face.  dignified.  Zhang Hui¡¯s words couldn¡¯t be more clear, but he just didn¡¯t mention them by name.  Shen Rui asked someone to carry the exhausted Wang stick away to rest. Shen Rui sat quietly in the room for a long time before asking someone to call in He Taizhi and his staff Mr. Xie.  He lowered his voice and told the story again.  He Taizhi immediately became furious. Considering that he was in the inn, he suppressed his voice and gnashed his teeth and cursed: "It must be Zhang Hao! When I return to Beijing, I must kill this grandson!" Shen Rui was more angry and depressed than anyone else.  Tai Zhi was even worse, because he had worried about whether Zhang Hao would fall to Prince Ning many years ago when he did not return to Jiangxi to observe his filial piety.  It¡¯s just that Zhang Hao hasn¡¯t done much in recent years. Shen Rui is busy with local construction and doesn¡¯t have time to pay much attention to Zhang Hao.  I never thought that Ning Fan could use such a move at this time!  Because of Shen Rui¡¯s previous actions, no one in the court had the nerve to brazenly praise the young master of the Ning Mansion, the Taimiao Sixiang.  The old foxes in the court have also seen the emperor's attitude, and they will not show off.  In this way, Shen Li's "letter" of Jingtang's weight is quite conspicuous. When those people who are bribed and pretending to be ignorant see such a "leader", they will rush forward and quickly follow the letter to support the young master of Ning Mansion.  .  "The emperor must be very angry." He Taizhi and Brother Shou have been together for many years, and they know Brother Shou's bad temper very well.  "Your Majesty knows what Brother Li Liu is like, so he won't express his anger, right? Brother Zhang and Mr. Liu (Liu Zhong) will definitely speak for Brother Li Liu. At bestthat's" I don't know what he meant by this.  To comfort Shen Rui, it was better to comfort myself.  Shen Rui patted his shoulder and said nothing.  Mr. Xie looked at Shen Rui and said in a deep voice: "Ning Fan's move is also a blow to you. This incident will definitely affect your layout in Henan. The emperor will not disbelieve you, but everyone's words make money, and all the accumulation is destroyed."  "My lord, you must now understand the matter of Zongfan." As expected, he is a staff member who has always been with the Minister of Rites, and he really understands Zongfan's affairs.  Shen Rui sighed secretly.  Mr. Xie's words struck a chord in his heart.  The previous impeachment of Shen Rui by the Central Government was that he acted recklessly against the Zhao vassal, causing instability in the vassal.  And now, it must be said that he is in cahoots with Zhao Fuhang and wants to "be the chief minister of the Imperial Ancestral Temple".  Shen Rui¡¯s original arrangements were to target the young master of Ning Mansion to build momentum in Beijing.  The crown prince of Zhao is so talented that he can be admired, and because of the historical reason that the first king of Zhao tried to seize his direct descendants, as long as Brother Shou or the Xuanmiao family are still in power, it is impossible for the Zhao family to be selected as the incense ministers of the Taimiao.  Therefore, when it comes to poking King Ning's lungs and disturbing the reputation of "the incense of the Imperial Ancestral Temple", Prince Zhao is really a safe and effective option.  In fact, deep down in Shen Rui's heart, because he was familiar with the future historical trend, he had the idea of ????taking Zhu Houyu, the prince of Zhao Wang who was passionate about education and caring for the people, as an alternative to replace Zhu Houcong of Jiajing.  Of course, bloodline is always a big problem.  However, when the Xuanmiao family was no longer in power, when Zhu Houyu had more potential as a "virtuous king", when everyone from officials to the market knew that Prince Zhao was diligent in studying, reading, and caring for the people, in this "both political and political integrity" and "similar"  Under the huge aura of "Xiao Temple", the cabinet bosses will definitely give it some thought.  But now, if someone deliberately pushes Shen Hengyun to be a conspirator or an ambitious person, no matter whether the big bosses in the court or the emperor believe it or not, as long as the seeds of doubt are planted, it will accumulate over time, destroy the bones, and eventually not only destroy him, but also destroy him.  Prince Zhao's Mansion was not spared either.  "And in the future, if the Zhengde reign can only be used for sixteen years, then Jiajing or someone else will be in charge. If old scores are raised, the Shen family may be ruined.  Shen Rui stood up and bowed solemnly to Mr. Xie and He Taizhi, "Rui has something to ask Mr. Xie and Zhong An." The two of them were so panicked that they stood up and returned the greeting. He Taizhi was even more uneasy. Because of their relative relationship, the Shen family all called him  Brother Tai, when have you ever called him by your cousin's name so solemnly?  "Second brother, if you have anything to do, just give him direct instructions. This is really scary." He Taizhi saidHe said hurriedly.  Mr. Xie also said: "Your Majesty's words are serious." Shen Rui first said to Mr. Xie: "I would like to invite you to Huaiqing Mansion to meet the princes of Fanchang and Lujiang." Before King Zheng's line, many princes were childless.  After the country was wiped out, the population was not prosperous. Now, in addition to the Dongyuan County Prince who wanted to succeed King Zheng, the two remaining County Princes are Fanchang and Lujiang.  This Dongyuan County Prince Zhu Youfang is the eldest son of the fourth son of the second generation Zheng Wang Zhu Qijiang.  "The current princes of Fanchang and Lujiang counties are Zhu Qiqi's ninth and tenth sons respectively. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????The two uncles didn't have Chengjue's turn, but let their nephew run to invite Chengjue first. It would be strange if they were convinced.  What's more, if you ask your nephew to bother him now, Prince Zheng's title will be gone.  "I'm going to collect the case from the Prince of Dongyuan County and persuade Fanchang and Lujiang to cooperate in the disaster relief and the Qing Dynasty." Mr.  It¡¯s just Lumi Wangzhuang. When the time comes, wouldn¡¯t it be beneficial and honorable for the emperor to give them the confiscated farmland?¡± Tian Feng and Wan Dongjiang have already sent the news from Huaiqing Mansion, but Dongyuan is dead due to the vassal regulations.  Although he was able to inherit the title, he hated Shen Rui and spread rumors to slander Shen Rui.  Mr. Xie had long wanted to clean up Dongyuan, but at that time it was urgent to rush to Kaifeng before the year, so he left it there first.  At this moment, it¡¯s all in one pot.  The old gentleman looked at Shen Rui and said meaningfully: "Chaozhong is also happy to see more 'good kings' in Henan." Shen Rui nodded, that's exactly what he meant.  Praising King Zhao has "ulterior motives", but what if there are "good kings" everywhere in Henan?  That means that Shen Rui is not ambitious, but has the ability, which is a great political achievement.  "During the Chinese New Year, Mr. Labor has to run around, and there are still bandits in Huaiqing Mansion, so there are some risks It's just that Brother Tai is young and inexperienced, and what I can promise to those two people is really too little. I want to say  They can only ask Mr. Shen Rui to take action. " Shen Rui said apologetically, "I would like to ask Wang Guangzi to protect Mr. Tian Feng and Wan Dongjiang who have been there for some time. They will be able to protect Mr. Xie.  He laughed and said, "Your Excellency, you are worrying too much. Although I am a scholar, I have also traveled to some places. This old bone can still withstand the wind and rain." Shen Rui thanked him and said to He Taizhi: "Zhong An, I want to work.  You go to Kaifeng as soon as possible to see the King of Zhou. "The current Zhou King Zhu Mu is one of the first vassal kings to write a letter to support the vassal regulations. Like Zhao Fan, the succession of the Zhou vassal title is also a matter of competition.  .  Not long ago, when the Ministry of Rites rejected the attack on the title by a side branch of the Zheng Mansion, it gave an example of the case of the Zhou vassal concubine seizing the legitimate son in the 13th year of Hongzhi - Zhu An, the father of the current eighth generation Zhou King Zhu Mu, was a concubine.  He was appointed as the heir apparent, but his younger brothers, who were both concubines, were dissatisfied.  Together with Zhu An?, several groups of people are entangled in ruffians and scoundrels, and often fight with each other.  When the sixth generation of King Zhou passed away, several people directly broke into each other, and the fight escalated, alerting local officials, governors, etc. to resolve the case.  However, before the outcome of the trial could be reached, Zhu An died suddenly.  The imperial concubine immediately wrote a letter asking her young eldest son Zhu Mu to inherit the title.  Those princes who were born as concubines were simply crazy. One of them molested the imperial concubine, while the other went to "expose" the imperial concubine's promiscuity, saying, "If the concubine behaves improperly, her son will not be an heir"!  Later, he falsely accused the former Zhou king of being Zhu An, poisoned him, and so on.  At that time, Xiaomiao ordered the eunuch Wei Zhong and the Minister of Punishment He Jian to investigate the case, and arrested thousands of people to find out the case.  After learning about the beastly behavior of several people, Xiaomiao was furious and demoted the relevant people to common people and imprisoned them in Fengyang.  Zhu Mu was only able to seize the title of King of Zhou in the 14th year of Hongzhi. At that time, he was only eight years old.  In the third year of Zhengde, the King of Zhou suddenly sent a letter to his concubine, asking for a title, saying that he would like to grant his brother a title based on the example of the descendants of Prince Ruyang of the Zhou dynasty.  However, the Ministry of Rites found out that her mother was a music girl and refused to grant her a title. They also found out that the descendant of Prince Ruyang's palace was also a descendant, so that person's title was also revoked.  " Shen Rui categorically did not believe that King Zhou did not do it on purpose.  After the vassal regulations came out, the Zhou king also actively supported it. When King Ning reported the illegal activities of the Jiangxi vassal, he also reported to the Zhou Mansion that Yangjunjun Yibin and Wang Huan were drunk and lewd. Later, Wang Huan was dismissed as  civil.  It can be seen that there is still no peace within Zhou Fan.  King Zhou would be very happy to see the government come forward to eliminate those Zongzhi who "do not know how to advance or retreat".  Presumably, he also hopes that his son can successfully become the crown prince and inherit the title, and not suffer as many twists and turns as he and his father did.  In this way, Shen Rui can "exchange"There are so many things.  "You can just say that the emperor gave us the authority to 'act expediently' in order to clean up the sects and vassals like Zhu Youming who caused trouble to the local area, and as the minister of the Ministry of Rites, I am responsible for checking the 'peanuts and births' in various prefectures, and for the Zhou Dynasty."  The eldest son of the king invites the crown prince, these are his responsibilities." Shen Rui said, "Of course, if the king of Zhou can get the emperor's praise of 'a good king', these things will go more smoothly, especially if he invites the crown prince, I will report it.  , It also depends on the Ministry of Rites, the Zongren Mansion, and the emperor to make the final decision." "The king of Zhou wants a lot, and Shen Rui can afford it, so it is not as simple as cooperating with the emperor and providing disaster relief.  You have to be like King Zhao no matter what.  He Taizhi also heard Li Ji's analysis of the vassals. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Second brother, don't worry, I will take care of it." "I'll write a letter to Ma Bingran, Lord Ma. If you have anything to do, go to him.  "Shen Rui said.  Ma Bingran first participated in politics in Henan, and was later transferred to Shandong and promoted to the right-hand chief envoy. He worked with Shen Rui for a period of time, and this year he was transferred back to Henan as the left-hand chief envoy.  When Ma Bingran was in Shandong, because the leftist political envoy was Shen Li, and the leftist political envoy was Yuan Tan, who was close to Shen Li, he had no family, so he naturally became good friends with these two.  ¡° Shen Rui¡¯s political achievements in Dengzhou were really brilliant at that time, and Ma Bingran also wanted to be friends with him. Later, Shen Rui was promoted to Shandong¡¯s right political advisor, and the two of them also cooperated happily.  This time Shen Rui also came to Henan. The two parties had already passed several letters and reached consensus on many policies. Ma Bingran was looking forward to Shen Rui's early arrival.  He Taizhi nodded in agreement, and then asked: "When Kaifeng is over, I will go to Junzhou and Nanyang Mansion? Will Mr. Xie go to Henan Mansion?" These three places are the fiefdoms of Huifan, Tangfan and Yifan respectively.  Shen Rui waved his hand and said: "No, Henan Prefecture and Nanyang Prefecture are rampant in mining thefts. I'm afraid the Tang and Yi Prefectures are behind it. This matter needs to be resolved. I won't contact them for the time being. Tang Fan also said  Forget it, Hui and Yi have always done something different, and the word "virtuous" cannot be related to it. "Especially Yi Fan, it is a tradition of evildoing from the ancestors, and each generation becomes more and more "evil".  In the history of Shen Rui's previous life, Yi Fan was convicted and expelled from the country during the Jiajing period.  Shen Rui doesn¡¯t mind letting them end it as soon as possible so as to save the local people from disaster.  Mr. Xie said: "When I go to Huaiqing, I will also ask Tian Feng and Wan Dongjiang to deploy people to investigate the mining thefts. I will plan the next step for you." There are many mines in Huaiqing, Henan, and Nanyang.  It is rich in mineral resources, including iron ore, tin ore, silver ore and gold sand.  Naturally, the imperial court has explicitly banned private collection, but money and silk are so attractive to people¡¯s hearts, how can they prohibit it!  Because there was a profit to be made, the exiles gradually gathered. Many mining thieves took advantage of the mountainous terrain to open caves privately and plunder publicly.  As soon as the government arrived, they fled into the mountains and forests. When the officers and soldiers retreated, they continued to plunder and dig, and even several groups killed each other, killed and set fire, and were very rampant.  It¡¯s not that the Henan government hasn¡¯t thought of solutions, but the mining pirates are extremely mobile and difficult to eradicate. The past few years have been bad, and they are worried that excessive raids and suppression will trigger civil unrest.  Shen Rui attaches great importance to mineral deposits, especially iron ore, which is directly related to the manufacturing of various types of military and civilian machinery. Therefore, he has already reported it to Shou Ge and discussed with Jiang He to use the suppression of rogue bandits to arrest the mine thieves as well.  .  "Mr. Thank you. It's just that this matter is dangerous. Sir, please be careful." Shen Rui said, "Jiang He's army will arrive in a few days. We will not be too late to act by then." Mr. Xie said that he would be extremely careful and let Shen Rui not think about it.  .  "In this way, among the vassals in Henan, there is only one King Chong left.  The first generation of King Chong was a sibling of Xianmiao and the biological flesh and blood of Empress Dowager Zhou, so he naturally had a distinguished status.  In the eighth year of Hongzhi, the Empress Dowager Zhou missed her son and wanted to announce King Chong's visit to Beijing, but she gave up because the Ministry of Rites and the Cabinet opposed it.  Xiaomiao also felt guilty because of this.  Because of their close bloodline, the Chong Mansion received a lot of rewards, but no evil deeds were reported to the court.  By the time of the second generation of King Chong, something happened. It was Liu Jin who was in power at that time and used Jiao Fang's plan to extort money from Jiangnan officials to vent their anger.  The late imperial censor Qian Yue's house was confiscated. The excuse was that when Qian Yue was the governor of Henan, he gave the Chongfu a yearly salary of four thousand shi of local red japonica rice instead of the old corn.  Please give.  Liu Jin convicted him of being a member of the Trafficking Palace, and if he changed the law without permission, he should be investigated and punished.  At that time, Qian Yue passed away, and his family property was confiscated. His sons stayed with the family to guard the border, but they were not pardoned.  In fact, changing millet to japonica is a routine operation that is convenient for the people. After all, it is a local product, convenient and beneficial to the people.  Do you want to be good at becoming a law, and you can get a little or less charges, but the crime is not there.It's just poison.  And Prince Chong¡¯s Mansion was of course disgraced, and even flattery Chang Shi was punished with an atonement of Mi Qianshi.  This second generation of King Chong Zhengde died six years ago, but the prince has not yet made a clear decision to inherit the title. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Out of the way, Prince Chong was probably afraid of being caught by this eunuch, so he kept his filial piety honestly and never wrote a letter.  Now that Liu Jin has fallen, Crown Prince Chong has also handed over the invitation for the title, but nothing has happened.  Therefore, there is no need for Shen Rui to do anything. The eldest son Zhu Houyao is eager to inherit the title as soon as possible and will actively cooperate and strive to establish his own image as a wise king, at least on par with King Zhao.  "Your Majesty, what do you think?" Mr. Xie asked.  Seeing Shen Rui shake his head slightly, Mr. Xie said again: "My lord, your king is different. Because he has no heirs, he is the 'good king', which shows that your lord is 'one, heart, and honest'." He specifically said "no heirs"  "Si" and "Serve the public wholeheartedly" are emphasized.  Shen Rui couldn't help but paused. He originally thought that King Ru was too hard to crack, so he didn't mind. But it was true that King Ru was the only one who didn't have a son. He would definitely not have a relationship with Si Xiang of the Ancestral Temple.  Being a virtuous king makes Governor Shen appear completely selfless.  He was still hesitating, but Mr. Xie already said: "My lord, why don't you let Zhou Xian have a try? Because of your presence, your king may not be willing to see Zhou Xian, but if Zhou Xian goes home, your king will definitely meet him." Your king will definitely meet him after all.  Being raised by the Empress Dowager Zhou, with this kind of love, it is impossible not to meet Zhou Xian, the grandson of the Empress Dowager Zhou.  He Taizhi couldn't help but widen his eyes and subconsciously looked at Shen Rui.  Shen Rui smiled bitterly, "Sir, it's not that you don't know" Mr. Xie said: "The emperor sent Zhou Xian to 'help' your Excellency, which means you are putting your Excellency in the same boat with him." Shen Rui closed his eyes slightly.  At the beginning, Cai Liang invited Shen Rui and Zhou Xian to a banquet. He did not seek reconciliation, but only wanted to work together peacefully.  Shen Rui did not sit down at the table, but only said that if there is an imperial order, the Shen family will cooperate and will not abandon private affairs for public purposes. As for personal relationships, let's not talk about them.  This time Zhou Xian led his troops to Henan because of Brother Shou's secret order.  Brother Shou wants to promote Zhou Xian, and Shen Rui will not stand in the way. The Dezhou Guards have many soldiers and are well-trained. Zhou Xian's status can also suppress some sects. Everything can be used by Shen Rui, so why not  Instead of doing it.  Although they walked together and cooperated with each other, Shen Rui never meant to get along with Zhou Xian.  Now, it is not yet a critical moment where whether Zhou Xian is used or not is related to the survival of the Shen family, and Shen Rui is still unwilling to compromise.  Mr. Xie knew Shen Rui's thoughts well, but he smiled and did not mention the old events at all, but said: "Since we are on the same boat, whether the errands in Henan are done well or not are not just adults' business.  It's also his Zhou Xian's business." Seeing Shen Rui's surprise, a hint of slyness flashed in the old gentleman's eyes, "He went to persuade King Ru because he was loyal to the king. He also received a heavy reward from the emperor.  Is it a proper way to repay your kindness?" He said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir, we don't need to say anything. As long as he hears a little bit about Zhong An contacting Zhou Mansion for disaster relief, he will figure it out himself and take the initiative to ask Ying to see you.  After all, it is not difficult for him to persuade the king. When the time comes, it will be kind of you not to stop him and report his merits to him truthfully." Shen Rui was speechless for a moment, then smiled and thanked him solemnly.  The gentleman bowed his head and said, "Thank you sir for teaching me." After some discussion, Mr. Xie and He Taizhi went back to pack their bags and prepare to set off immediately, seizing time to send the deeds of several "virtuous kings" to the capital as soon as possible.  Shen Rui walked around the room alone for several times, thinking about many things, but every time he sat down to write a letter to Shen Li, he didn't know what to write.  He hesitated for a long time, and finally rolled the paper into a ball.  That was a few days ago, and all the possible consequences have already happened. Now, I really can¡¯t write anything.  We can only wait for the follow-up news from Zhang Hui, and then based on the situation submit a letter.  Brother Shou knows the loyalty of the Shen family, and Brother Shou knows even more about the blood feud between the Shen family and Ning Fan. Therefore, Brother Shou should know that Shen Li was framed and would not put him in Ning Fan's group.  However, Brother Shou¡¯s temper makes it hard not to be angry, especially since he wanted to bring Shen Li back to Beijing to suppress Zhang Hao, who was jumping up and down, but now Zhang Hao has taken advantage of him We can only hope that Brother Shou will use Shen Li again.  It's a big deal, so I won't punish you too much.  As for Shen Li's response, at the moment, he is really in a dilemma.  The stolen seal itself is also guilty, and it is even more incompetent and derelict. Once the truth is made public, this will be revealed for a long, long time.Will become the target of criticism from political opponents.  And if it is suppressed and not mentioned, it will be fine for now. Once Ning Fan rebels in the future, those who have stood up and cheered for Ning Fan will be convicted. Even if the cabinet and even the emperor can vouch for Shen Li, I am afraid that they will  Besieged by political opponents.  Shen Rui couldn't help but feel distressed.  * A few days ago, in the capital, the main courtyard of Shen Li's mansion was brightly lit, but there were only three people in the large hall.  All the servants were sent to wait outside the courtyard, and no one was left to serve tea or water.  Shen Li sat at the top with a serious expression. On the official hat chairs on both sides were his eldest son Shen Lin and son-in-law Zhang Hao.  Shen Lin stared at Zhang Hao across from him, his eyes almost bursting with fire.  Although the family had discussed it just now and Shen Lin's mood calmed down slightly, he still couldn't help but feel angry when he saw Zhang Hao.  This bastard!  When his parents returned to Beijing this time, he brought Sister Mei over. He kept saying that Sister Mei missed her parents and wanted to stay at home for two more days to accompany them and fulfill her filial piety.  The mother seemed overjoyed and said that her son-in-law was considerate.  How did you know that this son-in-law is a black-hearted person?  Taking advantage of the opportunity, he sneaked into his father's study, pirated copies of the book, and pushed the entire Shen family into a pit of fire!  Zhang Hao looked calm despite Shen Lin's murderous gaze.  He even spoke first to break the silence in the room and said to Shen Li: "My father-in-law also knows that the Emperor's Qing Palace is still empty, and it is always necessary to bring in a holy son to calm the hearts of the world. It is related to the foundation of the country. Since the son of a wise king is in the capital, it is precisely  God's will" "You're talking nonsense! Shut up!" Shen Lin was shocked and angry and couldn't help shouting.  This is not a secret room, how dare you say such a thing?  !  Really looking for death!  The key is to find your own death and don¡¯t harm others!  Shen Li raised his hand and waved to his eldest son, then turned to his son-in-law, with a somewhat complicated look on his face, and said, "I thought someone was coercing you. It seems that I underestimated you." His words were calm, and he listened to them.  Zhang Hao's ears were full of ridicule.  He laughed at himself. It was beyond his expectation that the Shen family didn't shout or kill. Could it be that he couldn't bear to hear a few ridicules?  Besides, what's the use of ridicule when the done thing is done.  "My father-in-law has just returned to the capital and I don't know what happened. My son-in-law is here to share your worries." Shen Lin gritted his teeth and cursed "shameless".  Zhang Hao turned a deaf ear and brought out the rhetoric he had already thought of, saying: "You are as wise as your father-in-law. How can you not see that in the current situation, the only way to achieve success is to be first. If others behind you follow the same saying, you will not be able to discuss your merits in the future.  There is nothing to do with the reward." His eyes flickered and his voice was lowered: "Mr. Li Ge and Mr. Wang Ge are both old and young. My father-in-law was born in the Han Dynasty and was a pastor with outstanding political achievements.  When we take a step further With this first achievement, it will be a matter of course for him to join the cabinet. " His eyes were burning as he spoke, as if Zhang Hao was facing the situation of being able to join the cabinet, and he made no secret of his desire for power.  "I have everything planned for my father-in-law, and for our Shen family" he said.  Shen Lin was extremely angry and yelled: "Shameless! How shameless! You are clearly using the Shen family as a stepping stone for your own plans, using all possible means to put money in your own family's face?!" My father is not even five years old!  10. It is the time when he is in the prime of life, he has both knowledge and political achievements. Not to mention going further, this Minister of the Ministry of Industry is also stable!  He also exchanged letters with his father and Uncle Rui many times, knowing that his father wanted to use his position as Minister of Industry to promote some of Uncle Rui's project ideas. If water conservancy and irrigation can be built everywhere in the future, and grain harvests can be guaranteed, what will happen?  If you worry about the people not being rich, why worry about the Ming Dynasty not being strong?  But all of this was ruined by this villain Zhang Hao!  Shen Li was not angry at all. He stared at Zhang Hao for a moment and then said calmly: "This afternoon, I have already submitted a letter to resign." Zhang Hao seemed not to hear clearly, with a look of confusion on his face, and subconsciously asked "What?"  ?" Shen Lin smiled sarcastically and answered him with some joy: "Your plan has failed. My father has already submitted a letter to resign." Zhang Hao suddenly opened his eyes wide with disbelief as if he was struck by lightning.  But soon, as if he thought of something, he twitched his cheeks, forced out a smile, and said calmly: "After all, my father-in-law is still smarter, and this is about retreating to advance" Shen Lin was going to be pissed to death by him.  , opened his mouth to curse, but Shen Li raised his hand to stop him.  Shen Li still spoke calmly and said: "The emperor has agreed. After handing over the affairs in the past few days, I will take the family back to Songjiang. Shen Lin will stay for two months, and when spring begins, he will find a place to stay."  ???, he signaled to Shen Lin, and then said: "The document of reconciliation between you and Sister Mei has been drawn up, and the betrothal gift was also brought to your home with Sister Mei. The list is at the back of the document." Zhang Hao is twisted.  The smile froze on his face, and his mind was buzzing.  Shen Li can actually use this trick!  !  Although Shen Li took the initiative to resign, in the eyes of the courtiers, the emperor was angry and wanted to take away Shen Li's official position. "Resigning on his own initiative" was just to give him the last dignity.  When the thunder is angry, all the ministers can say is enough. Who else dares to stand up to the wind?  !  I¡¯m afraid no one will dare to mention the matter of the Ancestral Temple¡¯s Secretary Xiang anymore!  He, Zhang Hao, has worked hard for a long time, and all his efforts have been in vain. This matter has not been done well. Prince Ning It would be okay if Mr. Miao was still in charge of the affairs of the capital. However, now it is the man with the most evil intentions and ruthless hands.  Mr. Li was sitting in charge Zhang Hao's pupils suddenly shrank. When he came to his senses, Shen Lin had already handed a few pieces of paper into his hands. He lowered his head subconsciously. The word "Heli" was so dazzling!  Heli!  "To reconcile at this time is to kill him!"  Zhang Hao had a face as cold as ice. He tore the He Li Shu into pieces in a few seconds, threw it on the ground, and said loudly: "What does father-in-law mean by this?" Shen Lin had long been unable to bear it, because he was on guard against Zhang Hao.  Nahe Li also copied several copies of the book, and immediately took out another copy, threw it at him, and cursed: "You are such a morally corrupt person, and now you still have to rely on the Shen family? Sign it quickly.  Document!" Zhang Hao felt fear in his heart, and even more angry, with a fierce look in his eyes, and kicked the chair next to him, "What kind of innocent family is your Shen family now?  Make peace with me! I signed this document, and you turned around and just turned me away!" "You Shen family and Xie family are the same as each other! You didn't care about my grandfather's official career at the beginning.  Engagement! Xie Ge always wants to take advantage of people, but he can¡¯t even bear to have his own granddaughter. Isn¡¯t it so rare to have a granddaughter?  Otherwise, how could I have forced my grandfather to death!  !  Both of you are accomplices, why are you pretending to be saints now?  " Hearing these words, Shen Li couldn't help but get angry. He waved his hand and smashed the tea cup on the high table to the ground, shouting: "Don't spit blood!  It was your family who brought up the marriage first. Your grandfather was trying to get an official position but could not get it. What does it have to do with the Xie family and the Shen family?  !  " Zhang Hao suddenly opened his mouth and smiled horribly, "Haha, are you going to camp?  What is he trying to do?  What's going on?  It's just a matchmaker for another top scholar of your Shen family!  " It was obvious that he also knew what happened to Zhang Yuanzhen. Shen Li's face was even more ugly. This was not a secret room, and the matter involved relatives. He couldn't directly say that the Zhang family was the enemy of the Shen family. " Zhang Hao just thought that he was at a loss for words, and he seemed to be speechless for a moment.  Crazy, he pointed at Shen Li and said: "You Shen family became the son-in-law of the Hou Mansion and took advantage of it. One or two of you have a prosperous official career, but you are saying that my grandfather is working in a business?"  !  Your Shen family doesn¡¯t want to join the camp?  !  How did you get your official position if you didn't do it?  And that Shen Rui!  He was only a few years old, and there was no one more virtuous than him in the whole dynasty, so he was the only one to get the high position!  " "Have you never relied on my father-in-law?  !  Didn't Shen Rui rely on his father-in-law?  !  Both of them rely on their father-in-law, but who do I rely on?  " Zhang Hao had a look of resentment and said viciously: "You say I am your son-in-law, who is planning for me? If I don't give money to Liu Jin, how can I protect my reputation?  !  I have studied hard for many years, but my knowledge and articles are not as good as others. Why should I be deposed by an eunuch?  !  As long as you are willing to run for me, how can I get the reputation of being a friend of eunuchs?  !  " "Heli?  Still want to make peace?  Still want to get rid of me?  !  dream!  I tell you, now you owe these to my grandfather!  You owe me!  " "Does the Shen family owe you?  !  What a loud tone, do you deserve it?  "Suddenly, a cold female voice came from the courtyard. The three of them subconsciously looked into the courtyard, only to see Shen Mei walking over alone. Apparently all the servants, women and maids around her had stayed outside the courtyard. Shen Lin hurriedly ran away.  When my father told me about Zhang Hao's behavior and his intention to divorce them, my mother was so angry that she almost fainted, but my sister remained unresponsive and looked as if she was dead.  She came over now, and when she heard the bastard's arrogance, she couldn't help but feel sad. Shen Lin hurriedly said, "Why are you here?  Didn't you want to stay with your mother?  Stop listening to that beast barking!  Go back quickly!  " Shen Mei shook her head gently, "Mom, it's a heart disease. I'm just afraid that she will feel more uncomfortable if I stay with you.  " On this day, Mr. Xie lost her proud imperial status, and found that the marriage she had chosen for her daughter was so bad that she couldn't bear it and fell ill  "I'll come over and finish it off." Shen Mei whispered, raising his eyes to meet Zhang Hao with a ferocious look on his face.  Shen Mei was not afraid and said coolly, "Zhang Tanhua, you have been known as a child prodigy since you were a child, and the Zhang family has always valued you as their eldest grandson. Then tell me, Mr. Zhang, the Minister of Civil Affairs, will take the most promising son of his family."  The eldest grandson went to marry a grandson from Xiege's hometown. What do you want?" Zhang Hao suddenly choked.  Shen Mei didn¡¯t blink, and asked one question after another without hesitation.  "When Mr. Zhang was seriously ill, the Zhang family was besieged on all sides. He came to my house again and again and asked me to come over quickly. What was the purpose?" "Shilang Zhang and Mrs. Zhang passed away one after another. You dragged me to observe filial piety for several years. I am 'benevolent and righteous' like you, too.  There is no mention of renouncing the engagement in any letter. What are you trying to do?¡± ¡°When you, Zhang Hao, were in high school and had a good career, you didn¡¯t divorce from my family. What are you doing for these few years when you have been walking around in Beijing?  Do you really think I don¡¯t know what kind of money was exchanged?¡± Shen Mei¡¯s tone was calm, not like questioning, but it made Zhang Hao unable to answer a word.  After hearing the last sentence, Zhang Hao's eyes suddenly became sharp and he stared at Shen Mei.  Shen Mei lowered her eyelashes, breathed a sigh of relief slowly, stretched out her fingers to point at the pieces of tissue paper on the ground, and said: "Zhang Hao, sign the letter of separation. From now on, you can go to Yangguan Road." * Xiyuan  , Bao Fang Gong's wife Zhang Huihou was outside the palace, his mind constantly turning over various matters to be reported, and also thinking about how to say a few words for Shen Li and even Shen Rui without leaving any trace.  While he was thinking about it, there was movement inside. He quickly put his thoughts back, straightened his clothes, and waited for the summons.  The first person to come out was Qian Ning.  When this guy saw Zhang Hui, he greeted Zhang Hui with a smile and said a few insincere compliments. After all, he was from a wealthy family and was a member of Jinyiwei, so he always had to bow his head to his superiors. ??????????? In fact, there was a dazzling dagger in his eyes.  Zhang Hui hummed twice, not even bothering to say hello to this "subordinate".  ¡°Following next was Taoist Tianliangzi, the temple master of Xiyuan Tianliang Palace.  As an old acquaintance, Zhang Hui immediately put on a smile and said hello.  Tianliangzi didn't have the slightest air of being a "fairy", and after some friendly greetings, he took out a thumb-sized porcelain vase from his wide sleeves, handed it to Zhang Hui, and said, "It's getting cold. This meatball will clear your throat."  "Throat, let me nourish my throat." Zhang Hui twitched the corner of his mouth. He is so good at bribery in the palace!  It¡¯s just that I can¡¯t change my habit of giving drugs to others!  He wished that this person had given him gold and silver ingots for bribery!  It was reported that Zhang Hui had come to see him. After saying goodbye politely, Zhang Hui hurried into the palace.  I saw Brother Shou wearing a Taoist robe, sitting cross-legged on a futon, seemingly meditating, with green smoke curling up from the small incense burner beside him, making it very quiet.  Zhang Hui found it difficult to speak for a while.  Brother Shou raised his eyelids first and slowly asked Zhang Huidao: "Which places are you staring at?" Zhang Hui hurriedly came over and said, "Long live, don't worry." Brother Shou made a long "Hmm" with his nose, and suddenly said: "  Shen Li resigned, I'm sure." Zhang Hui was startled, his mind was confused, and he couldn't answer the question.  Until I heard Brother Shou say: "As expected of being the number one scholar. What a pity." He suddenly woke up and secretly figured out how to solve the problem. This move solved several problems.  It's just that it's a pity that a good minister should be given up at the drop of a hat. This Zhang Hui didn't dare to think too much and hurriedly responded: "I will keep an eye on everything." He made another grabbing motion.  .  "No need." Brother Shou said slowly, "Let them go." Zhang Hui's throat twitched, why does the emperor seem to have such an air of immortality today?  All thanks to Tian Liangzi¡¯s awesome nose!  Brother Shou changed his gestures and said, "Just now, Master Tianliangzi made a fortune telling for me." Zhang Hui could barely control his surprise. Have you ever heard that this person can tell fortunes?  "The twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month is a good day." Brother Shou said.  Zhang Hui almost laughed out loud, what a nose!  What a hexagram!  Twenty-three sacrifices to the stove, isn¡¯t it a good day!  Are you trying to make the emperor happy?  !  But at the emperor¡¯s next sentence, he couldn¡¯t laugh at all.  "Don't they always say that the Qing Palace is still empty?" Brother Shou clasped his hands together, with a solemn expression and a particularly brisk tone, and said: "On the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, I accepted Qian Ning as my 'adopted son', and so they  Wish."
