    Shenjiafang, Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, because the Shen family¡¯s ancestral, third, fourth, and ninth rooms were all holding funerals. At a glance, everything was white. Even if you were sitting at the Hongyun Inn, which was not too close, you could still hear the monks preaching in the distance.  The sound of gold cymbals, reed pipes and bamboo shengs.  Shen Rui looked out the window. Although there were a few shops and houses with obvious signs of fire, and there were also houses with white walls, in general most shops were open for business, and people were coming and going on the streets. It was not much different from the past.  .  Compared with the devastated scene after the last "Japanese disaster", it is really much better.  Speaking of which, I have to thank the person in front of me, but Shen Rui looked away, sighed, and said: "Why are you so anxious? It's too risky. Now everyone is on guard." Not long after he arrived in Songjiang,  Even though Lu Sanlang invited him here, it still attracted too much attention.  ¡°If we wait until things are almost settled on his side and go to the Lu family to say thank you before meeting again, there will be no trace.  Sitting across from him was an old man with white beard and hair. His face was wrinkled and his body was stooped. Some people would believe him if he said he was a hundred years old.  When the man opened his mouth, his voice was loud and clear, and he said, "I wouldn't come to you now if there was no urgent matter. I was just afraid that I would look for you on the road and let people know the clues, so I delayed it until now." He paused.  Suddenly he said sternly: "Ah Shan is too stubborn and his actions are not serious. I have already punished him. Please bear with me." This man is the head of the Nine-Headed Jiao, Shen Rui's biological uncle, Meng Cong.  Shen Rui couldn't help but rub his forehead and sighed: "From the root of this matter, I really have to thank Master Kang Si. Although his actions are always for the good of the Shen family." It's just that the methods are too bloody.  It frightened several elderly clan elders to death. Even a young one like Shen Qin had nightmares for many days in a row. She told Shen Rui privately that Lu Sanlang was really agile in doing things, but he was too cruel. He would fight in the future.  You still have to be careful when dealing with others.  But Shen Rui couldn't tell him that Lu Sanlang didn't think so, it was the extremely vicious method of the Nine-Headed Jiao, and he was afraid that Lu Sanlang would also be scared to death.  Since the opening of the sea in Shandong, the Nine-Headed Jiao has secretly cooperated with the Lu family, both in overt maritime trade and covert smuggling.  The contact person of the Lu family in Shandong is Lu Shiliu Lang, on the Songjiang side it is Lu Sanlang, and on the Nine Headed Jiao side, it is Meng Cong¡¯s confidant Kang Ashan.  The Lu family did not know the relationship between Meng Cong and Shen Rui. They only knew that when they were in Dengzhou, Shen Rui had reached an agreement with the head of the Nine-headed Dragon Meng Jiu, and used the imperial navy warship to help him gain the upper hand in the internal strife and become the leader and dominate.  The sea route from Ming Dynasty to Japan.  After that, the Ming Dynasty's ships going to Japan were all protected by nine-headed dragons, and one or two percent of them were taken out. The navy also turned a blind eye to the nine-headed dragons.  Since the imperial court can help Meng Dalongtou, and Shen Rui is the matchmaker, the Lu family has nothing to fear.  So we have been working together for so many years and we have made a lot of money.  This time the Lu family¡¯s merchant ship came back to Songjiang, and it was Kang Ashan who also led the fleet among them, preparing to do some shopping in Songjiang.  Cha Cha, she met Shen Qi¡¯s housekeeper who came to ask for help.  They are all men who work hard at sea, so it goes without saying that they are ruthless. Especially Kang Ashan knows the severity of the court's punishment for banditry, not to mention that it may involve rebellion, so he mercilessly kills Shen Yuan who shouted the words of surrender.  , Brother Qiong, and Brother Xiaoyu who were colluding with the gangsters were all killed, and none of the Poyang Lake water bandits in the ancestral hall were spared.  Afterwards, everything was blamed on the water bandits, and the three Shen family members turned from accomplices to victims.  The Shen family held the funeral with great fanfare this time, also to cover up one or two things.  It¡¯s just that there are too many people in Ning Fan who know about Brother Xiaodong and Brother Xiaohua, so it¡¯s impossible to hide it.  Fortunately, Brother Xiaohua killed Brother Xiaodong, and also rescued Shen Li and Shen Liu from the knife of the gangster. Later, he led the nine-headed dragon pretending to be a Lu family sailor guard to assist the officers and soldiers in annihilating the Poyang Lake water bandits who were looting Songjiang outside.  , it can be regarded as meritorious service.  There are also factors such as being kidnapped when he was young, and his mother and sister falling into the hands of rivals and being coerced. I think Brother Xiao Hua¡¯s life can be saved, and Wu Fang will not be implicated in the crime of accessory.  Although Brother Xiaodong¡¯s crime was unforgivable, Shen Xun and Shen Jun never disobeyed him. Instead, he made a great contribution by exposing him. Not only would the clan not be guilty, but he would also have a reputation for righteousness and annihilation of relatives.  Brother Xiaodong¡¯s body has been examined and recorded by the policeman, and his family is allowed to take it away.  After receiving it, the clan buried him in a public cemetery and did not enter the Shen family's ancestral grave. This time, it was just Shen Hai's funeral.  Brother Xiao Hua was imprisoned in the government prison.  Of course, with the Shen family here, he wouldn't suffer.  "Ashan told me, Brother Xiaohua is really born to eat at sea," Meng Cong's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "It's okay, if the court sentences him to death, I will use someone to kill him."Come out and follow me. I think I will be the head of the Nine-Headed Jiao in a few years!  Ha ha ha ha.  " He smiled heartily, but Shen Rui's face darkened, "No need to talk!  I won't let him do this, let alone sentence him to death!  " Meng Cong smacked his lips and shook his head: "What a good seedling!  What a pity, what a pity!  " He asked again, "I heard that he was involved in a murder case or an official murder. At least he was an exile, right?  Are you willing to let him live in exile for three thousand miles?  " Shen Rui couldn't help but glare at him, "You old man, please save it!  " After a pause, he sighed: "I have met Brother Xiaohua, and I have also talked with Brother Qi.  Brother Xiao Hua means that if he is exiled, he will be exiled. He wants to go to the northwest or Liaodong. If there is a war and he is willing to fight, he will be able to get away with meritorious service. In the future, he may not have no future.  " Meng Cong couldn't help but cheered: "He is a good son with backbone and blood!  "It became even more regrettable, and he looked at Shen Rui eagerly. Shen Rui said: "The Shen family in Liaodong has property and a clan there, and it is connected to Dengzhou by sea, so it is quite cheap.  There is Zhao Hongpei and a horse market in the northwest, so it is not impossible to operate.  Brother Qi said that no matter where Brother Xiaohua went, he would take his wife and daughter with him.  " Shen Qi firmly stated that the family would never be separated again. In fact, he was also afraid that Jiang and her daughter had been held captive for many years, and there would be rumors when they returned to Songjiang. He didn't mind, but he didn't want his wife and daughter to be wronged. Sister Xing's son is also older.  , it¡¯s time to talk about her age. Although he is willing to raise his daughter for the rest of his life, he also hopes that his daughter will find a good husband and have a good home. He feels sad and guilty for Brother Xiao Hua, and he hopes that his father can be for him.  Do something. That¡¯s why the whole family decided to follow Brother Xiaohua. Meng Cong nodded and said, "Brother Qi is also a responsible man.  " Shen Rui let out a long sigh. For so many years, the Jiang family, mother and son, have suffered, and Shen Qi has suffered. This suffering family is finally reunited. "Then it's up to them, whether it's Liaodong or northwest, they can go wherever they want.  Where, all he can do is to provide them with a good environment as much as possible, but Meng Cong suddenly said: "Have you ever thought about another place in exile?  Qiongzhou.  " Shen Rui was stunned, Qiongzhou? Hainan Island! "Although Aunt Tu has not come to the north in recent years, she still occupies Ryukyu and goes to the South China Sea from time to time. Sooner or later, she will be a disaster.  Meng Cong said, "Nine-headed Jiao has been operating in Wanzhou and Yazhou, and there are also several water villages.  Brother Xiao Hua, this kid, is really destined to eat this bowl of rice. When he goes to Qiongzhou, it will be like a dragon entering the sea" Seeing Shen Rui thoughtfully, he added another chip, "Aren't you short of food?  There are so many islands and countries in the south, but you can¡¯t get food?  Food is still secondary, the gems and spices Think about how many good things Grandpa Zheng came back from when he went to Nanyang" Shen Rui was really tempted. The Ming Dynasty was short of food! When he was in Dengzhou, he was moving around and eating.  With mountains and seas to eat, and Liaodong being close to him, he felt that he could still fill the bellies of the people, and he did not feel that a food crisis was imminent. When he arrived in Henan, he really felt that there was too much food, and he took action against Zongfan.  The emperor also wanted to get food out of their hands. Food is the most important thing for the people. No matter how many ideas he has, no matter how many capable people he recruits, if the "lack of food" is a problem, the Ming Dynasty will not be able to gallop forward.  . Hainan Island has three crops a year! Not to mention the vast world of Nanyang! There are also farther routes and larger sea trade markets "You want to  Think about it, think about it again" Meng Cong was persuading with frothing at the mouth. Suddenly Shen Rui said: "Okay, I will think about it carefully.  " "Uh, you agreed?  Meng Cong couldn't believe it and asked: "Did you really agree?"  " "What should I do!  Did I tell him to go and he went?  !  Shen Rui couldn't help being angry and funny, and said: "You, old man, must allow me to go back and think about it carefully before discussing it with my family, right?"  " He had to go back and discuss it carefully with Shen Li and his staff. He also had to ask Shen Qi and Brother Xiaohua for their opinions. Meng Cong laughed and said, "Rong, why don't you tolerate it.  Discuss it carefully, discuss it carefully!  " He became happy for a moment, drank two more cups of wine, and said: "This is an unexpected surprise. I was originally going to tell you" As he spoke, he slapped his thigh and said sadly: "Hey, I am really old. It turns out that  I have forgotten all the serious things.  " Shen Rui was also puzzled. What kind of urgent matter is this? Meng Cong said solemnly: "Kang Ashan is just a stubborn kid who doesn't use his brain. He shouldn't??Kill Shen Yuan to death.  " Shen Rui couldn't help but rolled his eyes. Uncle, this is not something you can say! Your wish that Shen Yuan would die early is written all over your face! Shen Rui really doesn't care about Shen Yuan.  There is no emotion at all about Shen Yuan's death. Shen Rui is not sad at all. To say he is happy, it is like listening to an unrelated person say, "Oh,  "This man is dead", that's all. Although as a biological father, what Shen Yuan did to cause trouble may still be the reason for some people to criticize Shen Rui. But Shen Rui has reached this point, and he is really not afraid of these things.  Shen Jin would feel like he was letting go of the burden. Although Shen Jin was troubled by Shen Yuan's death this time, at least he had made a contribution before.  When he comes back after the new year, he will not stay where he is. As for Shen Jin, Hou Ninghou has been trying to find him the position of General Secretary. He was almost done, but because of Ning Fan's rebellious slogans, this matter happened.  After being forced to abandon the plan, the young emperor asked Shouning Hou for a large sum of money to fund his personal expedition, and the young emperor rewarded Shen Jin with a sweet date.  Guan Er, he just said that he would give the order after returning from the expedition - "As a result, Shen Jin was worried about Ding again." Shouning Hou was so angry that after three years, who knew whether the emperor would still recognize him!  ! No matter how much Shouning Hou scolded him, Shen Jin finally got rid of Shen Yuan, a time bomb that could cause trouble at any time. Since Meng Cong mentioned it, Shen Rui couldn't do anything about it.  When talking about Kang Ashan or whether Shen Yuan should die, he could only wave his hands and say: "You put it like that, I don't even know what to say.  " Meng Cong didn't ask him to answer anything, but said: "It's not a pity for that man to die, but if he dies, he will be buried with your mother" Shen Rui sighed. The nephew and uncle really wanted to go together.  , and he is not happy! But now, even if he comes up with a huge reason, it is impossible for the original couple not to be buried together. If in modern times, the urns are quietly moved to another place, but this is the Ming Dynasty.  When Sun was buried, it was a coffin and a body. In the past, the third prince was determined to break with his father and Songjiang, so he could dig up his biological mother's grave and burn her body into ashes. But now Shen Rui has no reason to dig up the grave and burn her body.  "Let me think about this matter and think of a solution as soon as possible" Fortunately, Shen Jin has not come back yet, and Shen Yuan will not be buried for a while, so there is still time.  Meng Cong showed a satisfied smile: "Your mother did not hurt you in vain!  " "This is the urgent matter I want to tell you.  He came closer and said, "Uncle will not embarrass you. I have already brought your mother out."  "    "ah?  !  Shen Rui was stunned and couldn't believe his ears. He couldn't help but ask, "What?"  What did you say?  " "It was during the chaos in Songjiang Mansion that day that I took someone to bring your mother out in a coffin.  I was just in a hurry and didn't bother to clean up.  " "There is not much movement outside the Yin Mansion. You can't tell it at first glance. I'm just afraid that the concubine will come back to prepare for his father's burial. He will see through it when the grave is lifted and the bones are buried. It's not good to cause trouble.  " Meng Cong said, "So let me tell you first. Songjiang Mansion has settled down in the past two days, and the Shen family has some business. There are many people coming in and out of the Xishan Tomb. If my people can't go in to arrange the arrangements, it's up to you.  The organizer is sorting out the follow-up.  And" He looked at the nephew who looked like a sister, sighed, and said, "I originally wanted to take her overseas.  But, after all, it is your mother, and she may not be able to let you go, so she is asked to stay with her adoptive father and enjoy the incense enshrined by her son.  I can take her to the capital, but it's up to you to think of a way to bury her next to her adoptive father.  "I never expected Meng Cong to be so skillful. Shen Rui was stunned for a while, and now he really couldn't answer anything." After a long while, he murmured: "That's okay"  " * On July 20th, King Ning Zhu Chenhao was captured alive. From the beginning of the rebellion when he killed the court officials on June 14th to the day he was captured alive, it was only thirty-six days. This planning took more than ten years, and the army and bandits were mobilized.  One hundred thousand, Jiujiang, Nankang and other cities were captured from the beginning, and the massive rebellion that shocked the whole country was declared bankrupt. However, the proud King Ning met the Nanjing Navy led by Wang Shouren in Anqing.?, it was a disastrous defeat.  Then they were shocked to hear that Nanchang had been lost. Jiang Sheng, the governor of southern Jiangxi, led several commanders to join the bandit suppression army in western Zhejiang and northern Fujian, and captured the empty city of Nanchang in one fell swoop.  King Ning refused to listen to the dissuasion of the "National Preceptor" Li Zhenren and immediately asked his troops to return to rescue Nanchang. He even wanted to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor immediately, change Yuan Dynasty to Shunde, and establish a separate regime.  Wang Shouren was not willing to let him run away like this, so he led his army in hot pursuit.  And Ning Fan's army encountered Jiang He and Gao Wen's troops on the way back to the army.  Jiang He has been suppressing bandits in Huguang for many years and is also familiar with water warfare. The rebels were defeated again.  Then Wang Shouren¡¯s pursuers arrived, and the two sides joined forces. The rebels had no way to retreat. In the end, Ning Fan was captured alive, and the rebellion ended.  Although King Ning was captured, the chaos he caused did not subside immediately.  Unlike King Anhua who seized the frontier army, King Ning raised private soldiers and bandits. Over the years, he used money to bribe many officials from various places and guard internal officials.  These people brought a lot of trouble to the court.  For example, Bizhen, the eunuch who was guarding Zhejiang, was given money by King Ning to move him from Jiangxi to Zhejiang. As soon as he arrived in Zhejiang, he spent a lot of money and generously rewarded the officers and soldiers of the guards to win over people's hearts.  He also used training as an excuse to build armor, buy grain and rice, and prepare military supplies for Ning Fan.  After King Ning rebelled, Bizhen responded actively, openly announcing that Prince Ning wanted to take over Zhejiang, and took the keys to all the doors in Hangzhou City. He also ordered the Zhejiang Dusi to dispatch officers and soldiers, causing the soldiers and civilians in the city to run in fear, and all officials to commit suicide.  In danger, the three divisions gathered troops to defend themselves.  There were also people in Nanjing who spread rumors and caused trouble, shouting to welcome the Holy Lord. Fortunately, Wu Jingbo and Zhao Chengqing were guarding Nanjing and responded in a timely manner without causing too much chaos.  There are also many prefectures and counties along the rivers and coasts where rich places like Songjiang were plundered.  As Shen Jun reported earlier, Ning Fan raised many rich children like Xiao Dongge just to use the families behind them as money bags.  On June 15th, King Ning appointed Min 24, Ling 11, Wu 13 and other gangsters as commanders, and asked them to lead people to attack prefectures and counties to plunder ships and military supplies.  These people cannot determine the overall situation, but their destructive power to a place is huge.  Especially after hearing that King Ning failed, these bandits broke up and fled, continuing to cause trouble to the place. The subsequent hunt will also be a big project.  On the Songjiang side, Shen Xun and Shen Jin both came back to attend the funeral, but Shen Jun, who was nearest, had not yet returned. This was because he was now with Jiang Sheng, relying on his many years of accumulation in Jiangxi to help clean up the counterfeit clan.  Remaining party, destroy the fleeing bandits.  The news that the rebellion was subdued and King Ning was captured was sent to Brother Shou at the end of July.  At that time, Brother Shou was already in Xuzhou Prefecture in southern Zhili. He really came here to fight in person. He was looking forward to a battle. He didn't play at all along the way. He was really rushing to march in a hurry.  The cabinet ministers accompanying him this time were the three cabinet ministers Yang Tinghe, Liang Chu and Fei Hong.  Li Dongyang and Wang Hua were old and unfit to travel, so they were left in the capital to take charge of the overall situation.  When Yang, Liang and Fei heard the good news, they all advised Brother Shou to return to Luan.  Brother Shou finally came out, but he is not willing to go back!  Especially now that we are in Southern Zhili, Nanjing is right in front of us. He is a descendant of Taizu, how can he not go to Nanjing to see it?  This time no one dared to mention anything that made Wang Shouren let Prince Ning go so that the emperor could catch him.  Brother Shou had no intention of playing a cat-and-mouse game, so he immediately told the world to tell the truth, personally conquered a great victory, and suppressed the rebellion against the feudal lord.  Then Wang Shouren was ordered to escort King Ning to Nanjing. He wanted to enter Nanjing with troops and accept prisoners as prisoners.  Yang Tinghe and other ministers tried their best to dissuade him. They all said that although King Ni had been captured, the bandits he supported were still at large, so it would be safe for the emperor to return to Beijing as soon as possible.  He also said that now that the autumn is high and the horse is fat, I am afraid that the Tatars will invade the border again.  He also said that after leaving Beijing for a long time, government affairs became desolate.  Brother Shou retorted one by one, "Did I allow me to personally conquer the northern captives again? Otherwise, why would the Tatar prisoners ask me to return to the capital?" "Ning Ni has been destroyed, what are the assassins doing to kill me? Robbery the execution ground? Then  It should be in Nanjing? " "Isn't it the ministers who are in charge of government affairs? Wang Yue is also in Beijing, and the Supervisor of Ceremonies is acting as usual. Where is the waste? " No matter what the minister says, he always responds with nonsense.  In short, nothing can make him come back.  Brother Shou walked in a hurry along the way, and he was eager to see the scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.  Originally, I thought I would have a good time when I defeated Prince Ning and returned, but I didn¡¯t want the big thing to be over so soon. It is the time of summer and autumn, which is the best time to visit. The prosperous Yangzhou is right in front of you, so you must have a good time.  Then the little emperor happily announced: The Southern Expedition will be changed to the Southern Tour.    This has stirred up a hornet's nest. You want to talk about worshiping the ancestors' mausoleums and surrendering Nanjing. Although the courtiers are dissatisfied, they can only admit it by pinching their noses.  But now you say you want to spend your money and money to go out and have fun!  When several provinces have reported disasters and Tatars have been threatening the borders, this is the act of a coward!  Like enraged wasps, the courtiers began to surround and attack the emperor, just as they had returned to the early years of Zhengde and discovered that the little emperor did not like to study and was only interested in playing. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The people around me don¡¯t even mention it, and just the notes sent by the censors in the capital and Nanjing can be piled as high as one person.  Brother Shou rolled his eyes and ignored it at all.  If you like handing over coupons, just hand them over. The Ge Lao who comes with you is always doing something, so let them take their time and look at it.  Zhang Yong, the chief minister of etiquette, also came out. If there is any political matter, the three cabinet elders and Zhang Yong can discuss it and solve it together.  He should play as he should. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Okay, let¡¯s have a private visit incognito!  I just took a few people with me, and walked out without any ceremony.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT  Okay, you don¡¯t have to go to the market, just visit the minister¡¯s house. If you find anything delicious and fun, ask them to prepare it!  Brother Shou just enjoyed traveling around the mountains and rivers, slowly heading south.  Not only the courtiers were dissatisfied, but even Zhang Hui was a little overwhelmed.  When he was young, he often traveled around the capital with Brother Shou. At that time, he was only responsible for playing and entertaining Brother Shou in various ways. It was extremely relaxing and comfortable.  Now, he has to be responsible for the safety of the emperor, planning the route every day, arranging secret protection personnel, keeping Brother Shou happy, and paying full attention to whether there is any danger.  It was so exhausting.  Zhang Hui wrote to Shen Rui more than once, telling him to stop hiding at home and come back quickly to help him share the burden.  Shen Rui is free now.  When he received the letter from home, the war in the south was not over yet. Although he knew that he would definitely win and would not need a pioneer officer like himself, he could not just run away with the military orders in hand.  After adopting and dividing the family, even if the biological father dies, there is no need for him to keep filial piety to Ding You.  So when he wrote to Brother Shou, Shen Rui told the truth about what happened in Songjiang Mansion, expressing that he was afraid that the rebels would cause harm to the place. Since he was a vanguard, he should go first to clear the obstacles for His Majesty.  Thinking about how much gold and silver Ning Fan stole when he caused the "Japanese Rebellion" in Songjiang Prefecture, Brother Shou certainly didn't want to let Ning Fan pick peaches in these wealthy coastal counties.  Then he ordered the pioneer officer Shen Rui to detach a team of people to go to Songjiang and other state capitals to suppress bandits.  Letting Shen Rui do things conveniently also gives him a holiday to take care of the family's affairs.  Shen Rui is returning to Songjiang on official business.  The reason why he came back in a hurry was to clean up the work. He was afraid that the Nine-Headed Jiao was not well hidden and the Shen family would become a bandit instead of a vassal.  After the Songjiang side was settled, something happened again in Hangzhou Mansion that disturbed Bizhen's people. Shen Rui led his troops to Hangzhou Mansion and captured Bizhen and his accomplices.  After that, things like the Shen family happened in Jiaxing, Huzhou, Zhenjiang, and Changzhou. Although it was not a large-scale robbery, the impact was not small. At the same time, local bandits and water bandits came out to take advantage of the situation. Shen Rui and Zhao Hongze acted separately.  , settled the chaos one by one.  It wasn¡¯t until late August that the bandits in this area were completely eliminated.  So after Zhang Hui¡¯s letter, Shen Rui also expressed his helplessness. The funeral here was not full, and he had to wait until the elders were buried and settled down before he could go back. At that time, the emperor was supposed to be in Nanjing.  ¡°I can only use my command to carry it on my own.¡±  Zhang Hui is easy to deal with, but his uncle Yang Shen is difficult to deal with.  Yang Shen did not accompany him this time. After Yang Tinghe learned that something happened to the Shen family, he sent people back to Beijing to ask Yang Shen to take leave and go south to express condolences. He also went to Shandong to pick up Yang Tian and escort her mother and son back to Songjiang.  Although Shen Rui became a successor and divided the family, Shen Yuan was the biological father after all, and as an in-law, the Yang family could not skip this etiquette.  Yang Shen was very happy when he heard that Ning Ni had been captured on the road. He only thought that the Holy Emperor was about to return to Luan. Unexpectedly, the emperor changed the southern expedition to a southern tour and started to have fun all the way. This made Yang Shen, who had always been strict, very uncomfortable.  He wrote letters to his father and his teacher Li Dongyang, and also gave several exhortations to advise him, saying bluntly, "If you act rashly and don't do things for the first time, you will regret it unexpectedly."  However, these excerpts, like other excerpts with similar content, were thrown aside by Brother Shou and ignored them.  When Yang Shen talked to Shen Rui, he was still very angry. He also said that the emperor would not listen to what these people said. Shen Rui was a close minister of the emperor and his majesty's adviser. His advice would definitely be effective, so he asked Shen Rui to write more letters to advise him.  Shen Rui thought to himself,It¡¯s nothing to stay in Yangzhou without visiting. Historically, Zhengde¡¯s southern tour lasted for a year and a half!  This is just the beginning.  But facing his upright uncle, Shen Rui had nothing to say. He could only follow him and then guide him to think about other things, such as how to minimize the negative impact of the emperor's southern tour - even though it was a waste of people and money.  , but what the emperor has eaten and played will definitely be popular. Such expansion of the industry will also allow some people to make a living.  He also brought the Henan plan to ask Yang Shen to help with the details.  Although Yang Shen said, "I'm afraid I won't let you go back to Henan because of the errands that the emperor personally sent you this time." But in the end, he still agreed and helped to plan some good ideas.  Shen Rui also couldn't figure out how Brother Shou wanted to arrange himself. In his heart, he still wanted to go back to Henan and run a good business. This was not only to avoid the turmoil between the DPRK and China, but also to open up some situations in Henan, and he didn't want to give up.  However, plans never change quickly.  Yang Shen had a good chat with Shen Li and Shen Jin in Songjiang, and he was also interested in the Shen family's university education, so he originally wanted to stay longer.  Suddenly, news came from Yangzhou that Yang Ting and his father Yang Chun had died of illness. Yang Tinghe, Yang Shen and his son both wanted Ding You.  Yang Shen immediately set off to Yangzhou to join Yang Tinghe and return to his hometown in central Sichuan. Wang Yan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from the Yu family in Beijing will return to Shu from the capital with Yang Tinghe's younger brother Yang Tingyi and his family.  Although Yang Tian was a married woman with a short period of filial piety, she should go back to attend the funeral, but was stopped by Yang Shen.  It is said that the journey is too long. Jiangxi has just been pacified, so the road may not be as peaceful as before.  Yang Tian's body is already weak, and he was injured after giving birth. The trip from Shandong to Songjiang was quite tiring. He has not recovered yet, so it is not suitable to travel further.  It is also the side of Yang Yue, Shanxi.  Yang Tian then gave up.  When Yang Shen set off, Shen Rui and his wife saw off each other at the ferry with their children.  At this time, Yang Shen did not forget to solemnly tell Shen Rui: "Hengyun, as a minister, you should try your best to dissuade me." "'Today, the China that the emperor has given to you belongs to your majesty, and the throne and the throne passed down from the ancestors belong to your majesty. The two palaces  Your majesty's filial piety and support, and the protection of your subjects, how can you be careless about it?'" He said, "I wrote this in the book, and I also thought about it in my heart. How can the country, the country, and the country be carelessly taken seriously?  "Heng Yun, I see that what you have done for Shandong and Henan is to benefit the people and to benefit the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years. You are not even afraid of offending the vassal dignitaries, but I don't know why you are unwilling this time.  "Write a letter to remonstrate." "Isn't it appropriate to remonstrate to the emperor and treat the thousands of people and the country with great care?" Shen Rui was speechless for a moment and could only smile bitterly.  Yang Shen did not force him to promise anything, but instead said: "My father is worried about this, and the cabinet has not yet changed. Wangge always thinks too much" But in the end, he concealed the sentence that he was too small.  Yang Shen is Li Dongyang¡¯s disciple after all, and he is very unhappy with Wang Hua for suppressing Li Dongyang¡¯s disciples and the hero Yang Yiqing in every possible way.  It was just a reminder: "Mr. Wang Ge may not plan everything for your own good. My father is not in the court, and you are not as good as before in your office." Shen Rui sighed, and he understood in his heart, just like the border horse market.  However, the master will not give up using the horse market to suppress Yang Yiqing because of him, Shen Rui. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of Yang Ting and Ding You, there is a vacant position in the cabinet, and there are many heroes of the Southern Expedition waiting to be rewarded, and those who are suspected of being connected to the vassal have to be eliminated, and the court cannot tell what the changes will be.  Yang Shen seemed to notice his hesitation, patted his shoulder and said: "If the emperor calls you, you can go back to the capital. If you are by the emperor's side, and the emperor trusts you, you will always have less control over what you do." "With the emperor, you will have less control."  People around you should try your best to give advice" He said this and then came back to the subject.  Shen Rui bowed solemnly, saying that he must keep his elder brother's warnings in mind.  The two sides said goodbye.  Shen Rui watched the ship gradually go away. Yang Shen stood on the bow of the ship, firm and straight, like a pine or a cypress.  Recalling what Yang Shen had just said to him, and what Yang Shen had experienced in history, I felt filled with emotion.  With the surging river and the distant shadow of a lonely sail, Shen Rui couldn't help but murmur Yang Shen's eternally famous poem.  "The rolling Yangtze River passes by, and the waves wash away the heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure are all gone. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red a few times. The white-haired fisherman and woodcutter on the river are used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is a happy encounter. So many things in ancient and modern times.  "We were all laughing and talking." Yang Tian's beautiful eyes were filled with tears. She was sad to say goodbye, but when she heard this word, she couldn't help but be startled. She knew that her husbandThe chapter is quite good but the poetry is mediocre. I didn¡¯t expect that I could recite such a masterpiece today.  She recited it again and felt endless aftertaste. She couldn't help but recite and chew it over and over again.  Shen Rui came to his senses, couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and said quickly: "It wasn't me who did it, it was my eldest brother" Well, this poem was not written by his eldest uncle before. It was written by Yang Shenyin in history.  "I only got this chapter after receiving the imperial staff, seizing the official position and being exiled to Yunnan.  Looking at his wife's confused eyes, he didn't know how to explain it for a moment.  Fortunately, while they were talking, the wet nurse had already brought Little Brother Jie over. The child, who could not yet speak, clasped his hands and screamed for his parents to hold him, which suddenly attracted Yang Tian's full attention.  "Jie" is the name given by Brother Shou after he learned that Shen Rui had a son.  Although there was already a brother from the seventh branch of the clan who had this name, but the emperor gave him the name, others had no choice but to give way and change his name.  Although Shen Qi and Shen Qin had already done it for him before, this time when he returned to Songjiang, Shen Rui went to that tribe's house to apologize.  Brother Jie was raised to be fair, fat and strong. He looks more like his mother, but his temperament is not the same at all. He is most lively and active.  Shen Rui was afraid that Yang Tian wouldn't be able to hold him, so he quickly took him over.  The boy giggled, sometimes pulling his father's hair, sometimes pulling his father's ears, never stopping for a moment.  But that Shen Chuanlu, who was full of wits and both civil and military, could only smile stupidly in front of his son, and he was so clumsy that he could not avoid those troublesome little chubby hands.  With one hand holding his son and the other holding his wife, Shen Rui, who had been in a trance between history and reality, suddenly felt completely at peace in his heart.  * * On the first day of September, the Shen family opened its ancestral hall again.  The heads of each house, clan elders, and some clan members gathered in the ancestral hall in a crowded atmosphere.  Those who are officials outside, such as Shen Ying, Shen Li, Shen Quan, Shen Dai, etc., try their best to take leave and come back. Those who are engaged in business and study, such as Shen Lian, Shen Yu, Shen Yue, Shen Chen, Shen Bao, Shen Huan, Shen Chun, etc. also  Came back.  Although it was grand and solemn, the whole hall was filled with Shen family members and no outsiders were invited to watch the ceremony.  There are several things to do when opening the ancestral hall this time, mainly to elect a new clan leader - Shen Qi said that his whole family will accompany Brother Xiaohua, so he resigned from the position of clan leader.  In addition, Brother Xiaonan and Brother Xiaojie were included in the family tree, and Brother Xiaodong was expelled from the family tree.  ¡°Also, the third room decided to divide the house into clans again.  Shen Qi led everyone to offer three sacrifices to their ancestors, burn incense and bow before taking their seats in the public hall.  After bowing in a circle, Shen Qi stood in the middle hall. As usual, he first told the history of the Shen family, and then, with sobs in his voice, told about his family's decision to accompany his son. ?? Shen Qi has acted impartially as the patriarch over the years, and everyone in the clan is convinced. They know that his family is not easy, so they all express their understanding and send their blessings.  As for the candidate to succeed the clan leader, many people in the clan thought about Shen Li. However, with the fall of Nifan, the young master and his advisers were arrested in Henan, including Zhang Hao. The matter of stealing the seal was also exposed to the world, and Shen Li did not arrive.  Half a hundred, it is not difficult to talk about recovery, but I am afraid that the clan leader will not last long.  Although the clan leader Shen Jun has to observe mourning for three years for his meritorious service, he will have a bright future after that and will not stay in Songjiang.  Therefore, the clan members had discussed it privately and unanimously elected Bafang Shenliu, who had previously served as a supervisor in the clan and was strict in handling affairs, as the clan leader.  As for the person who records the accounting books, she still chooses Shen Qi from Liufang.  In the past, Shen Lian was produced by the head of the man. Now the three -bedroom is divided again. Shen Lian's one -bedroom is ready to give up the Songjiang Tianzhai home to move to Shandong.  In the past few years, Shen Lian has helped Shen Rui with matters related to Shandong and Henan. Shen Huai, a concubine of the clan who served as grain chief after Shen Yu, helped take care of the family property, and now it is fully entrusted to him.  There was also Shen Jia, a concubine of the fifth family, who had not yet completed his studies but had some talent in business, so he followed Shen Huai as an assistant.  The next step is to ask for a genealogy.  When Brother Xiaodong was fired, Shen Xuan who was sitting and Shen He who was standing behind him had no expression at all on their faces.  Shen Jun on the side had tears in his eyes, as if he was deeply sorry for not being able to save his nephew, but the truth was unknown to others.  There was a burst of sobs from the female family members in the wing room, and it was Grandma Xun.  After a while, Shen Rui went out of the wing and carried Xiao Jie into the public hall. Behind him was Xiao Nan, a young boy.  Shen Yong's eyes were always glued to Brother Xiao Nan, and he subconsciously called out.  Since that day when Shen Yong saw Brother Qiong being killed with his own eyes, he fell ill. Every time he thought of old things on the sickbed, he couldn't help but regret it.  Hearing that He¡¯s mother and son had returned, he sent someone to invite him and wanted to see Brother Xiao Nan, but He refused.  So Brother Xiaonan doesn¡¯t recognize itWhen I heard someone calling my name, I knew that the people sitting in this hall were all elders, so I bowed my head very politely.  Shen Yong's eyes immediately turned red. He wanted to say something more, but was stopped by a light cough from Shen Lian beside him.  Thinking of all the past events, my family always wanted to strike a balance so that both sons would be fine, but in the end, neither son got better and both died miserably.  " Such a well-educated and good grandson was pushed out by himself I couldn't help but burst into tears for a while.  After writing the genealogy, the three families will be divided into clans.  The eldest man of Sanfang Lake and his wife were of poor character and were disliked by the tribe. Shen Yong was also disliked by the tribe because of Shen Ling's affairs. Shen Zhu was at the head of the house first and Shen Qiong was at the head of the house, which caused great harm to the tribe.  They are divided into clans, and everyone in the clan knows that they should not drag down the two good talents of the third master Shen Hao and the fourth master Shen Lian.  Like the last family separation, both Shen Hao and Shen Lian expressed their willingness to give up all their property in Songjiang Tianzhai as long as they could separate their families.  This time Shen Hao was also planning to follow his fourth brother northward.  Shen Yong felt ashamed. He didn't want to ask for anything from his brothers. Besides, he also had a family business. He had been dragged down by Mr. Huda over the years. Now that his son was gone, he didn't want to stay in Songjiang anymore, so he accepted the offer readily.  Division.  Mr. Huda has indulged in drinking and sex these years and suffered a stroke. Although he has recovered a little, his arms and legs are still not very convenient and his speech is unclear.  This time when I was brought to the ancestral hall, I heard that my second brother actually refused to hand over the land and property to the third and fourth brothers. I was so angry that I almost had another stroke. I blew my beard and stared, but my speech was not good and I couldn't speak.  In the wing over there, Mrs. Hu rushed out with a roar, stood at the hall door and yelled curses. She said that the second, third and fourth son were sorry for his family and should give all the things they deserve to his family. The younger brothers must  Just support and support them. ???????????????????????????????? Shen Zhu still thinks of her, and talks shyly about how outstanding her "talented" son is, and insists that Shen Zhu was harmed by the clan, and the clan also feels sorry for his family. ?? If Shen Zhulu¡¯s wealth hadn¡¯t attracted the covetousness of Ning Fan¡¯s bandits in the first place, how could the Shen family have suffered such disasters one after another!  The tribesmen were extremely angry and scolded her one after another.  Mrs. Huda was frightened by the sound, and then she became a little scared and shut up.  Shen Liu's seniority was the reason why he was not used to the couple. He asked Mrs. Huda and said, "Brother Xiao Hua is also exiled for three thousand miles, and Brother Qi'er and his family are willing to accompany him. You are also parents, if you really love your children,  Why don't I send you to accompany Brother Zhu?" Mrs. Huda became weak at that time and started to make excuses incoherently.  Shen Liuduan shouted: "If you talk nonsense again and bring trouble to the clan, I will send you to the family temple to practice your oral ethics!" After saying that, he called on all the deacons and disciples to throw this shrew away, and they decided to separate the three houses into different sects.  , the brothers have nothing to do with each other since then.  After everything was done, Shen Li stood up, bowed to his surroundings, and said loudly: "In the past ten years, the Shen family has suffered two catastrophes, both of which were caused by the dishonesty of the children and grandchildren. The lessons were painful." Many people here have experienced these two catastrophes.  Yes, I can't help but feel lingering fear. After Mrs. Huda made a fuss just now, I feel that this statement is more reasonable, so they all nodded in agreement.  Shen Li added: "In the past, the "Yan Family Instructions" said, 'The reason why I am doing this now is not to follow the rules of the world, to order the family, and to tear down the descendants.'" "Now, I, Shen,  There should also be such a family motto, written in accordance with the rules of the Yan family, the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and the rules of our Shen family, to teach future generations. They do not seek to stand out or be famous in the world, but to understand etiquette, justice, integrity, and abide by the national laws and family rules.  Can you be loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous!" The tribesmen all clapped their hands and agreed: "That's right!" * On this day, the seventh day of the funeral was over, and there was a big funeral in the fourth room of the Shen family. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The white flags, in plain clothes, were seen, and they poured out of Shenjiafang like mountains of silver, pressing down on the ground. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out that the Songjiang Prefecture magistrate, Tongpan, Tongzhi, and Tuiguan all set up road memorial tents, other magistrates, county magistrates, experience, and governors set up road memorial tables and tea tables.  Not to mention that everyone with names in Songjiang¡¯s official circles was here, people from Zhenjiang Prefecture, Hangzhou Prefecture and other places also came. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? by no one can be in love with each other, and they all returned to Songjiang. No one would want to come and make a good relationship.  In addition, Shen Rui led troops to assist these governments in wiping out the remnants of the rebel faction. After all, it was Shen Rui's biological father who was buried. There were also many people who did not know the details of the relationship between Shen's father and son who came to express their gratitude.  In the past two days, news came from Beijing that Wang Hua and Wang Ge had resigned from office due to old illness.  This is to make way for his son.  After Ning Ni was escorted to Nanjing to be presented as a prisoner, the imperial court rewarded him for his merits. With Wang Shouren's great achievements in suppressing the rebellion and Wang Hua's foreshadowing, he was sure to join the cabinet in one fell swoop.  Don¡¯t lookShen Rui's father-in-law, Yangge Laoding, was worried. Seeing that his master Wang Shouren had become an old man again, Shen Rui's backstage had never fallen. He had also contributed to annihilating the remnants of the rebel faction, and he was afraid that he could be promoted to another level.  Therefore, on this day, on the four-mile road from Shenjiafang to the west gate of the county town, people in the officialdom had to offer sacrifice tents and tables one after another. Even the sacrifice tables for relatives and in-laws in each room of the Shen family could no longer be placed.  A huge funeral procession of hundreds of people passed by a brand-new stone bridge. Some people couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't it be destroyed by the floods in the summer? How old is the new bridge?" Someone immediately said proudly: "These are the two bridges.  The construction was completed in a matter of months, and it was built by Auntie Yuan¡¯s weaving factory who donated this year¡¯s dividends.¡± Therefore, it was the ¡°Grand Master of Four Houses¡± who was gifted this time, so some elderly people talked about ancient times and its origins!  The eldest wife's various righteous deeds in the past were recognized by the imperial court, and she was also given gifts of four grades, memorial arches, etc.  Everyone praised her, and a young descendant shouted: "This bridge should be called the 'Wise Woman Bridge', so that future generations will know the good deeds of Great Aunt Yuan, and also let more such good women be born in the family."  "Yes!" This word fell into the ears of a clerk at the road festival table, and he immediately remembered it in his heart, thinking that he would report it to the magistrate later.  Not long after the prefect was promoted to Songjiang Prefecture, it was time to get along well with the local wealthy families. Isn't it a good opportunity to erect a monument to the "Wise Woman Bridge"!  ??Five miles away from the county seat, on the sunny slope of Xishan, is the tomb of the Shen family. The cemetery of the clan lineage is at the middle foot of Xishan. Radiating downwards are the inner three rooms and the outer five rooms at the foot of the mountain.  Mr. Yin-Yang has been invited to dig a nine-foot-deep pit at the blessed site. When the auspicious time comes, Mr. Yin-Yang will direct the pole bearers to "climb the pit and bury them."  On Shen Hai¡¯s side, Mrs. He, the eldest wife of Hai, was still alive, so he was the first to be laid to rest.  Shen Yuan's side wanted to dig up Sun's grave and bury the couple together.  Of course, the bones are only placed in one place, but the coffin will not be opened.  Shen Rui watched Shen Jin and others scattering earth in mourning. Dozens of polemen took turns filling in the earth. The grave was buried in less than two quarters of an hour. No one noticed anything unusual.  He was secretly relieved.  After the ceremony, everyone returned to one place, and they returned to each other, three or two, and there were car and Malay to pick up the female relatives.  Shen Rui, Shen Jin and other brothers walked side by side.  When Shen Jin talked about clan studies, he had taken over the clan studies last time when Ding You was there. This time, he was preparing as usual and had some new ideas. He talked about them one by one with Shen Rui and Shen Li.  Shen Qin also talked about Qingze Academy, and Shen Bao talked about Penglai Academy, and everyone started discussing together.  After a while, I walked to the stone bridge again.  During the funeral, Shen Jin, a filial son who resisted banners, walked at the front of the procession. There were gongs, drums, mourning, music, and crying, but the whispers behind him could not be heard.  And when I walked quietly, I heard some tribesmen or passers-by talking about the "Wise Woman Bridge" and the virtuous woman Sun of Shenmen.  When Shen Jin saw Sun's coffin today, Shen Jin recalled all the good things his aunt had done to him. She cried bitterly in front of the grave. It was not so much about Shen Yuan as she was crying about Sun.  ¡° Listening to these people now, I feel mixed emotions.  He knew that the bridge was actually built by Yang Tian in the name of the Sun family.  A member of Yang Tian¡¯s family said that the Sun family¡¯s legacy weaving shop inherited by Shen Rui would allocate part of the dividends every year to continue doing good deeds in the name of the Sun family to benefit the village.  "And Yang Tian himself, together with his mother-in-law Xu, together with He and Qi's second grandmother Jiang, spent money to build several roads in Huating County.  The Jishan Hall in Songjiang Prefecture was also learned from Dengzhou Prefecture in Shandong Province. It is said that it was founded by Yang Tian.  This time Yang Tian also made a large donation when he came back.  "As for his wife Zhang Yuxian, she was a proud daughter of a noble family, and she also opened a weaving factory, but she wanted to make money through tribute. As a result, her eldest sister Zhang Yujing was confiscated for pretending to be tribute, so she gave up on this idea.  When I came back this time, I heard that the Lu family had made a fortune through sea trade, so I wanted to take the sea trade route again, and encouraged him to buy a merchant ship.  ¡°Every time I come and go I make money, and I never think about donating money to accumulate virtue and do good deeds.  But what can he say?  As she said, once she asked him where the money for the restoration came from, he couldn't answer her at all.  Whether he wants it or not, it is a fact that the Yue family spent a lot of money to find him an official position.  Holding on to the stone pillars of the bridge, Shen Jin suddenly sighed and said to Shen Rui: "It's my incompetence that I didn't give my mother a higher imperial edict." At that time, Mrs. Sun was invited by the prefect Jiang Sheng to be granted the title of Fourth Grade as a "virtuous woman".  Thank you, and Shen Jin's son is only in the fifth rank now, so there is no reason to ask for a lower rank for his aunt.  Shen Rui also just heard the name of the "Wise Woman Bridge" and couldn't help being shocked.  He knew that Yang Tian was building bridges and paving roads, and she was also in Shandong.She often does good deeds, and what she wants to do when she comes back to Songjiang is entirely up to her, but Shen Rui doesn't care.  Unexpectedly, this is the "Wise Woman Bridge" he has been looking for before.  He couldn¡¯t help but go up and touch the stone pillar, but he could no longer remember what the bridge looked like in his previous life.  All the things in the past life are like flowers in a mirror I was in a trance when I suddenly heard Shen Jin say this.  Shen Rui looked at Shen Jin, suddenly smiled, and said: "This is the title she earned by herself. She didn't rely on her husband or her son. It was her kindness that earned her the title for herself, bringing glory to her family and her descendants.  . This is more glorious than anything else, isn't it?" He raised his head slightly, with endless pride in his tone.  Shen Jin was stunned. It seemed that he had not seen his second brother holding his head high and speaking proudly for a long time.  Over the years, the second brother has always been aloof and reserved And that stubborn second brother, how many years ago was that?  Is it  when the aunt is still there?  Even if I couldn¡¯t memorize the book well and was reprimanded by my teacher, I would not bow my head and admit my mistake. Even if I pressed my mouth in aggrieved manner, I would always straighten my back and hold my head high.  That, the pride in the bones.  In a daze, he seemed to hear his second brother say, "Brother, you are in trouble. Today in front of my mother's tomb, I remembered many old things. My mother once said, don't talk about harvest without hard work. To say that brother, you can go to school, you have to go through ten years of cold and heat.  , Keep your hands on the book every day, respectable but not jealous" Shen Jin looked at his second brother blankly, then looked at the stone bridge, looking through the bustling crowd on the bridge, through the noisy waves, and looked into the distance  A lush green western mountain.  Slowly, he also smiled, nodded and said: "Yes, only when you earn it yourself can you be honored." While he was talking, several fast horses galloped over there, and pedestrians shouted to get out of the way.  Until we got here, the crowd became dense, and a group of riders got off their horses. Two of them threw the reins to the people behind them and came here panting.  One of them is Changshou, and the other is Liu Zhong¡¯s godson, Liu Xiangyun.  Changshou¡¯s face was extremely ugly, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with the behavior of Liu Xiangyun and other internal officials riding horses in the street, but he could not do anything to them.  Liu Xiangyun, on the other hand, bowed to Shen Rui with clasped fists and saluted from afar. When he arrived, he apologized profusely. He opened his mouth and kept silent. He was originally here to pay homage and send a funeral. Unexpectedly, there was something wrong on the road and he was delayed. He quickly abandoned the boat and landed, and speeded all the way. Unexpectedly, it was still too late.  Yes, it¡¯s really a big sin.  How can you blame someone for saying this?  Not only can¡¯t you blame it, but you have to appreciate it!  I don¡¯t know if he came here specifically to complete the scene of ¡°I regret not being able to attend the funeral¡±.  Shen Rui often interacts with internal officials like them. He is really a top-notch person who has a brilliant tongue and is good at singing, reading, acting and fighting. He is used to it.  He hurriedly supported Liu Xiangyun, thanked him solemnly, and introduced him to several people around him.  Shen Li, Shen Jin and Liu Xiangyun all knew each other, and they greeted each other with a smile.  As for the low-ranking Shen family members, Liu Xiangyun didn't put on any airs and was quite polite.  Since he has come here, he has no intention of letting anyone avoid him.  In front of the Shen family, Liu Xiangyun said: "The younger one is also here to report the news. So that adults know that Long Live Master will be in Nanjing soon and wants to recruit Lord Shen. The godfather asked the younger one to come and tell Lord Shen,  'Let's go on our way when things are settled at home.' I don't dare to stay too long. I have to rush back after passing the message" "Is this also a message for the Shen family?  Shen Rui cursed in his heart.  I'm still afraid that he won't go back.  "But Liu Zhong would not send Liu Xiangyun to tell him for no reason. There must be something wrong, and he really needs to leave as soon as possible.  Since it was not the emperor's oral instructions, but Liu Zhong's "paraphrasing", everyone did not need to salute, they just held their hands in thanks.  Shen Rui came out for a funeral, and he didn't have anything to reward him with. Liu Xiangyun's status was not something he could just throw away with a jade pendant.  Immediately I went to see Changshou.  However, Liu Xiangyun came closer and said with a smile: "Sir, don't be in a hurry to reward me. When I finish speaking, I will give you a double reward!" Although he was closer, his voice was not too soft.  He also glanced at Shen Jin intentionally or unintentionally.  "Congratulations to Mr. Shen, he will be the general envoy soon! The imperial edict has been drafted, and it will be promulgated when Mr. Shen arrives in Nanjing. I am afraid that it will not be my turn to deliver the edict, so I will come first today.  He Xixi asked for a reward. " Shen Rui was stunned. Liu Xiangyun dared to say such a thing, it was accurate.  He is now the minister of the Ministry of Rites, a third-rank official, and the general political envoy is also a third-rank official, so he has not been promoted in terms of rank.  "However, how important the general envoy is, Da Jiuqing is far more than a minister of the Ministry of Rites!    Brother Shou once said that he wanted to transfer him back to the General Affairs Department, but he never thought that he would be the General Affairs Secretary when he returned.  His first reaction was, is there something big going on in the DPRK?  Wang Hua becomes an official, Yang Ting and Ding You, if Wang Shouren joins the cabinet, who will be the other one?  Need to bring him back to Beijing to balance?  However, Yang Shen¡¯s parting words that day echoed in his ears again, and the history of his previous life also lingered in his mind.  He sighed deeply in his heart, no matter what, he would do his best to protect Brother Shou and safeguard the Ming Dynasty in this life, and he would be worthy of his true heart.  Suddenly, Shen Li over there said with great joy: "Now I have inherited the mantle of the Third Master!" Shen Rui came to his senses and hurriedly thanked Liu Xiangyun again.  But in my heart I was a little annoyed that this guy came here to play tricks.  The Shouning Houfu wanted a position for their son-in-law to influence the general affairs. If Shen Rui became the general affairs envoy and Shen Jin wanted to avoid suspicion, the official would be in trouble again.  Liu Xiangyun clearly said this deliberately in front of Shen Jin. He was not provoking but deliberately irritating Shen Jin.  Since Liu Zhong and his group are the confidants of the young emperor, they will most likely be at odds with the Queen Mother and the Zhang family.  ¡°This matter, huh, when he returns to Nanjing, he will have a good talk with Liu Zhong.  Over there, Shen Jin also looked happy, without any embarrassment.  When Shen Li was a few steps behind Shen Rui and Liu Xiangyun and turned to look at him, Shen Jin laughed softly and said, "Brother Li Liu, don't worry, I'm really happy for Rui Di."  He said: "Only what you have earned can bring you stability and glory. I studied hard for many years in the cold window to get where I am today, and Ruidi has also walked hard step by step, which is not easy. He deserves this,  He earned it himself. His honor is respectable but not to be envied" Shen Li smiled happily, patted him and walked side by side with him.  Suddenly, someone was yelling over there. When I got closer, I realized that it was someone from the seventh room of the Shen family. That person saw Shen Rui and the others from a distance, so he shouted anxiously: "Second Master! Second Master Qin! Second Grandma"  It's activated!" Shen Qin, who was slowly following behind, suddenly changed his expression and shouted, "Didn't he say there was still half a month left? Why did he activate it now?" He didn't care about Shen Ruichen!  Li and others confessed, and Saya ran away.  Shen Qi shouted from behind: "What are you in a hurry for? Change your plain clothes first when you go back, and wash your hands with a scorching fire to wash away any bad luck before you go to the child's hospital! Don't rush into it!" Shen Qin responded in the distance, already  After squeezing through the crowd, he disappeared.  Shen Rui shook his head with a smile and said to Liu Xiangyun: "I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, please don't blame me." Liu Xiangyun smiled and said: "Hey, this is a big happy event! Mr. Shen is so polite, the Shen family has many happy events, and I will have to ask for a cup today.  The wedding wine is full of joy." As he spoke, everyone speeded up unknowingly and rushed back under the stone bridge.  The "Wise Woman Bridge" stands quietly under the bright autumn sun, with its brand-new stones shining warmly.  Not far away, there is the Shen Family Ancestral Hall, with endless smoke curling up.  (Full text completed) Finally finished writing, happy.  (End of this chapter)
