0236 Loyalty is hard to survive

The little emperor fainted with grief and was hurriedly sent out of the palace by the palace people for treatment and recuperation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info And in order to help the little emperor cover up, Yu Liang also got up and hurried out of the hall.

Although the evening crying continued, after this episode, the sad atmosphere in the temple was not as strong as it was at the beginning, and gradually gave birth to a different taste. There is no shortage of sharp-eyed people who glimpse a hint of mystery from Yu Liang's reaction, and their eyes can't help but drift to Shen Zhezi.

Shen Zhezi still looked sad, covering his face and crying sadly, unaware of the strange eyes around him.

When Director Wang above the main hall saw this scene, his eyes flashed faintly, and then his eyes fell on his son Wang Yue in the other corner of the hall, and gradually revealed a thoughtful expression.

Half an hour later, an attendant rang the bell outside the hall, and the evening crying ended. The ministers left the main hall and turned to the front hall to eat.

Although he has left the hall, Yu Yi is still choking, he is a man of temperament, and there may not be too deep feelings between him and Emperor Daxing, but when he saw the little emperor crying and fainting, and then thought of his sister being widowed at a young age, he couldn't grieve himself.

When Shen Zhezi saw this scene, he sighed in his heart, and he didn't know how to persuade Yu Yi. Such a mood of unrestrained joy and sorrow is probably more in line with the characteristics of this era, and there are not a few Taichens who look like Yu Yi around. But I have to admit that if such a character is used in politics, it will inevitably be deficient.

In the final analysis, this is not an era that can indulge feelings wantonly, the north and the south are turbulent, full of devastation, to reverse this decline little by little, in addition to ability, it also needs the resilience to suppress feelings. Earlier, Xinting cried, and Director Wang was able to say that he should not be a prisoner of Chu, and in terms of nowadays, the pattern is already one level higher than that of ordinary people.

Thinking so, Shen Zhezi looked up at the ministers at the front of the team, but saw a chamberlain hurrying over, and whispered in front of Shen Zhezi: "Duke Bian has invited Haiyan man." ”

Hearing this, not only Shen Zhezi was stunned, but Yu Yi also suppressed his crying, and looked at Bian Yan who was walking behind King Xiyang and Wang Dao in some surprise.

"Wei Zhou, let's go, we'll talk about it later."

couldn't figure out why Bian Yi asked Shen Zhezi to come over, Yu Yi patted him on the shoulder and signaled him to relax.

So Shen Zhezi followed behind the inner attendant, walked out of the team from the side of the road to the front, and saw Bian Yan also standing by the side of the road waiting, so he quickly stepped forward and bowed down and said: "The boy greets Bian Gong, I don't know what advice Bian Gong asks?" ”

There were still tears on Bian Yan's face, and his expression was still sad, but he just nodded to Shen Zhezi, motioned for him to follow him, and then walked into the hall.

There are many people around who see this scene, and their expressions can't help but show suspicion. Not to mention that now that Bian Yan has taken over from Xi Jian and is in charge of Shangshutai, Shen Zhezi alone can no longer be ignored.

Although this young man is young, he is the son-in-law of Emperor Daxing, and with such an identity, he already has the qualifications to be noticed. Not to mention that now Wuxing Shen has become a prominent family among the southerners, Bian Yan summoned Shen Zhezi at this time, and if he didn't shy away from seeing it, it couldn't help but make people think about it.

When the ministers all enter the hall, they will sit down according to their rank. Yu Liang hurriedly walked from the garden, and when he saw Shen Zhezi sitting in the deputy seat beside Bian Yan, his brows couldn't help but lock slightly.

Sensing Yu Liang's dissatisfaction, Shen Zhezi was also helpless in his heart. He is naturally no longer the little transparent who was ignored in front of people in the past, but today's treatment is indeed a bit exaggerated, first the King of Xiyang, and now there is Bian Yan, and there is a Wang Dao who looks over from time to time next to him, which makes him feel flattered.

The national funeral food is simple and simple, just some light meals. I cried for more than an hour, and no one would have an appetite at this time. But because the meal was not finished, there was no shortage of people whispering and talking in the middle of the table.

Bian Yan just drank a little buttermilk, ate half a sheet of bread, and then put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at Shen Zhezi beside him. Seeing this, Shen Zhezi also hurriedly sat upright, waiting for Bian Yan to speak.

Bian Yan's eyes showed a deep expression, as if he was organizing language, and after a while, he whispered: "The spring and autumn are getting longer, there are many sighs of sadness and sadness, and things are people. Sorrow is very easy to hurt, and young people should be temperate and should not indulge in it. ”

Hearing that Bian Yan's tone was not lacking in kind persuasion, Shen Zhezi felt a little surprised. This Bian Yan is a typical overseas Chinese portal, and he has no friendship with his family, even if he has met a few times before, it is all on solemn and ceremonial occasions, and he doesn't even say much to each other, Shen Zhezi really can't figure out where the other party's kindness comes from.

Seeing that Shen Zhezi was cautiously taught, Bian Yan sighed suddenly, and then his eyes showed a look of grief, and he whispered: "Although your family is from the south, you are favored by Emperor Daxing, and the courtesy is different from others. Thanksgiving and obedience to righteousness, this is the ethics that ministers and people should have, I don't need to say more, don't take it seriously. ”

"Your Majesty is young and extremely young, and it is not easy to maintain the situation. In addition to Taichung's diligent assistance, it still needs the help of foreign vassals. ”

Speaking of this, Bian Yan paused for a moment, and then his expression became a little solemn: "You are a noble relative of the imperial family, and it is inevitable that you will have the opportunity to correspond to the emperor in the future." I would rather serve the country with direct loyalty than be invited by luck. Haiyan Man is also a precocious and intelligent person, I hope you can remember it. ”

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he realized what Bian Yan meant by summoning him. It turned out that this duke also saw his previous methods, and was worried that he would teach the little emperor badly in the future. However, this Bian Yan also took into account his own feelings, and said that young people should not indulge in sadness before saying this section, which shows that he has also weighed it in his heart for a long time.

"The teaching of the elders, the boy remembers it in his heart, and he dare not disobey it."

Although Shen Zhezi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he also knew that he was so temperamental, and it was rare to be willing to remind himself so tactfully. It must be known that this Bian Yan's temper came up, and even Wang Dao and Yu Liang didn't give face. Now he treats himself like this, probably because he is the person favored by Emperor Daxing, so he has a trace of tactfulness.

But from this Bian Yan's attitude, Shen Zhezi can also sense the weakness of this kind of imperial party in the current situation. Bian Yan himself has a lot of reputation, his family also belongs to the old surname of Qiaomen, and it is different from Liu Kui and Diao Xieyue Xingjin when Emperor Yuan, he is the real integrity of the imperial party, but with the death of the former Jiangzhou assassin Shi Yingzhan, Emperor Daxing died suddenly, and each family has its arms, and the so-called imperial party has been scattered.

In fact, in today's situation, even those who have the heart of imperial power can hardly be said to be a party at all. It was mainly Emperor Daxing who relied on his own means and personal charm, as well as the merit of destroying the rebellion of the Wang family, that gathered such a number of people around him who stood up for the imperial power. But as Emperor Daxing has been trapped in the garden for a long time, and now he has died young, most of these people have changed their minds, and there are very few people like Bian Yan who can still stick to their own opinions.

Probably this public heart is also discouraged by the current situation, so his words to himself are more based on the kindness and righteousness of the Emperor Daxing, rather than his own set of loyalty and righteousness. The proposition is out of place, and even if it is persistent, it is futile.

After the meal, the ministers returned to the Taichung government office, and Shen Zhezi found Yu Yi who was waiting for him here outside the palace gate, and went to Taicheng together. On the way, there was no shortage of people who stepped forward to greet him, although he had not yet entered the office, Shen Zhezi was already a little popular in Taicheng.

After not seeing him for a long time, Yu Yi couldn't help but be more enthusiastic about Shen Zhezi, holding his hand and saying with emotion as he walked: "Spring and Autumn have not taken a sharp turn, and the world has been renewed several times. At the beginning of the year, I was ordered to leave the capital, and I couldn't congratulate Zhezi on his wedding, so I really regretted it, and I hope that Zhezi you don't mind. ”

The focus of these words is also "don't mind", Yu Yi also knew the intention of the eldest brother to arrange for him to leave the capital at that time, so he still has a guilt in his heart.

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he smiled and said: "Why do you bother to say this, you and your father already know each other, and you support each other in family and state affairs, so you can be rude." ”

"Zhezi, you enter the capital today, Taichung should not have arranged a place to live yet, you might as well go to my residence tonight. I haven't heard your clear words for a long time, and the dirt has accumulated in my ears for a long time. ”

Yu Yi said, not allowing Shen Zhezi to refuse, so he pulled him to his residence. He has not returned to Jiankang for a few days, and now he is temporarily serving in Tingwei.

However, halfway through, a servant of the Yu family hurriedly came and said, "Zhongshu invites Haiyan Nan to go and see him." ”

When Yu Yi heard this, he couldn't help but think of Shen Zhezi's earlier journey with King Xiyang. Although he has not been in the capital for a long time, he can also feel the subtle atmosphere in Taichung now, and after a little silence, he also walked up: "I go with Zhezi." ”

Yu Liang had already changed into a plain robe, and when he sat in the room and saw Yu Yi and Shen Zhezi coming together, his eyes condensed slightly, and he immediately motioned for the two to sit down, and then looked at Shen Zhezi and asked directly: "After entering the capital, you should ask for mourning clothes too often, why did you go to Xiyang Wang?" Now this pedestrian, everyone is looking forward to it, you are not a teenager and ignorant, you know the stakes well, how can you do such a reproachful thing? ”

"Big brother, although Zhezi has early wisdom, after all, he is young, and he has experienced too few people, and he has a poor plan for a while, and others should not be too eye-catching."

After hearing this, Yu Yi smiled and excused Shen Zhezi, but Yu Liang still stared at Shen Zhezi with his brows locked, and his expression did not relax.

Shen Zhezi knew that Yu Liang would not be polite to him, but when he saw him reprimanding him so directly, he was dissatisfied in his heart, this guy really regarded himself as his nephew and could be scolded at will, so he just lowered his eyes and did not explain.

The situation was a little calm for a while, probably realizing that his attitude was indeed too blunt, Yu Liang was silent for a moment before he said: "The current situation is like this, even if you can relax because of your young age, others may not think so." That's it, pay attention to it later. During the national mourning period, let's live in Tongyuan first. ”

After a few more commands, Yu Liang let Shen Zhezi and Yu Yi leave. Looking at Shen Zhezi's departing back, he rubbed his brows and sighed a little tiredly. Although he knew that the Shen family might not follow suit with him in the future, seeing Shen Zhezi maneuvering among many auxiliary ministers today still made Yu Liang a little uncomfortable.

This scene inevitably reminded him of the early years when this young man entered the capital and relieved his family of great disasters by himself. The Shen family at that time was not the same as today, but this young man was still able to play with ease. Thinking of this section, Yu Liang couldn't help but hesitate, was it right or wrong to leave it in the capital earlier?
