When Shen Zhezi and the others arrived at Jianping Garden, they saw King Langya, King Wuling and other kings all standing in front of the gate of the garden, and when the car approached, they all descended to greet each other.

Seeing this scene, these important ministers in Taichung have different feelings in their hearts. Since the Nandu Zhongxing, although the position of the king is embarrassing, the basic tone is also to respect his position and empty his power, after all, the identity is there. The last time the king of the sect gave such a courtesy to the courtiers was when Yu Liang wantonly murdered the king of the sect.

Shen Zhezi naturally does not have the power and prestige of Yu Liang, but now the kings of the sect are putting on such a welcoming posture, which can only show one problem, that is, the queen mother's trust in this concubine has reached an extreme.

Although the imperial power is weak nowadays, it does not mean that it is dispensable, on the contrary, all parties must do their best to maintain it. Although the current imperial power does not have the kind of supreme authority that reigns over the world, it has another role, that is, the power of arbitration. Once a contradiction arises and a stalemate arises in which the power is evenly matched and disputed with each other, which side of the imperial power is biased and which side will gain a great advantage.

Shen Zhezi naturally understands this truth, which is also one of the reasons why he tried his best to save the queen mother at all risks years ago. In troubled times, the army is the only reliable reliance, and everyone understands this truth. It is precisely because everyone understands that if there is not enough political security, it is difficult to run a strong army!

The army of Jiangdong, the Langya Wang clan once supported more than half of it, but it was skillfully resolved by the first emperor and cut off one by one. The strength of the Liyang army is the leader in Jiangdong, but once there is no protection of the first emperor, it will be crazy destruction.

Even the ancestor of the Northern Expedition almost single-handedly started a strong army in Yuzhou from scratch, but once it became the climate, the imperial court immediately sent Dai Yuan north to restrain it. If you dare to resist, your ministry will fall apart in no time!

Even if it is Hou Zhao Shile, he has to follow Han Zhao Liu's ass and be a grandson for a few years. Shen Zhezi has no heavenly generals, he was born in a Jiangdong martial arts sect, he needs to obtain political capital more than the overseas Chinese sect, otherwise don't talk about a strong army, I am afraid that it will be difficult to save his life.

When it is time to indulge in publicity, then it should be publicized, and when it is time to converge, it must also be restrained. Seeing the kings of the sect coming on foot, Shen Zhezi got out of the car from a distance, stood on the side of the road and waited for other people's cars to pass, and when he walked to the front, it happened that the ministers of the Taifu also got out of the car and finished greeting the kings of the sect.

"The state affairs are difficult, and my brother-in-law is high, so I really can't abandon each other at this time!"

King Langya stepped forward, and with a rather earnest attitude, he stretched out his two hands to hold the arms of Shen Zhezi, who was just about to salute. He is only the same age as Shen Zhezi when he first came to this world, his face is still immature, and this posture is probably also carefully taught by the Queen Mother, although it looks a little awkward, but the sincerity is full.

Shen Zhezi didn't expect King Langya to come to this hand, after all, he had never been close to this brother-in-law, and he couldn't close it for a while, King Langya's hands sank suddenly, and his whole body staggered, which made King Langya a little embarrassed, and he took a step back.

Shen Zhezi finished his salute, and then stepped forward to help King Langya, and said solemnly: "Your Royal Highness treats you with your relatives, and you can't bear to say goodbye, which makes me deeply grateful and ashamed." I only hope that I can worship immediately, and please confess my sins. ”

The construction area of Jianping Garden is not large, less than one-third of the inner garden, but it is still well preserved. After entering the park, the ministers were first placed in a warm pavilion to rest, and Shen Zhezi was led by King Langya to meet the queen mother.

After Shen Zhezi entered the hall in the garden, he noticed that the atmosphere was a little depressing, and Princess Xingnan, who arrived first, was being held in the arms of the queen mother, and the eyes of the mother and daughter were faintly red, as if they had cried.

The little emperor sat alone at a table, looking out of the door, and when he saw Shen Zhezi entering, his eyebrows and eyes suddenly became cheerful, and he couldn't help but get up from his seat, and only after taking two steps did he remember to look back at the queen mother.

After seeing the Empress Dowager nodding slightly, the little emperor turned around and hurried to Shen Zhezi again, grabbed his arm and grinned: "Brother-in-law is finally here...... I thought my brother-in-law was really tired of Duzhong and wanted to return home! Brother-in-law, if you're gone, I'm really ......."

Shen Zhezi was a little embarrassed to see this family like this. I was about to do it, and the main target was those ministers, but I didn't expect to show the dependence of my mother-in-law's family on me. He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted the queen mother: "The minister feels hurt for a while, lazy and discouraged, but tired of the queen mother and His Majesty the emperor worrying, it is really guilty. ”

The corners of the Empress Dowager's mouth trembled for a moment, waved her hand to signal Shen Zhezi to enter the table, stared at him and said softly: "Wei Zhou, although you are young, you have experienced more frequent and heavy things than my elders, and you are moving appropriately and have your own pattern, but I have nothing to teach you." But this time, you were caught in the game and obsessed for a while! ”

"The inside story, I also listened to your lady's story, the dead Xue Jitian is your teacher's protégé, and the old friendship is not shallow, but this time it is framed by others, and it is difficult to defend himself. This Xue Jitian is a righteous man, who knows his heart by dying, and does not let those who have a heart come to bite and slander Wei Zhou again, which can be called heroic. Wei Zhou, you have always been affectionate, you have a feeling, and you want to be fat, which is also human nature. ”

Shen Zhezi opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. In the face of those ministers outside, he can deal with it calmly, hypocrisy and wrong, but in the face of this mother-in-law who can't understand the sinister hearts of people, he is embarrassed to do more decorations.

"But Wei Zhou, have you thought about it, the world is so sinister, after all, there are some things that you can't avoid if you want to. For example, this time, when people are sitting in the court, disaster falls from heaven. There are always people with dark minds in this world, who can't see the good of others, and always have nothing to do to make things difficult for you. Born in a chaotic world, it is better to take it against the current than to retreat again and again! Just like the first emperor back then, what if the royal family was so difficult to stop? It's not that he was overwhelmed by the first emperor in one fell swoop! ”

Speaking of this, the queen mother's eyes shone brightly, which shows that she admires the first emperor in her heart, and her feelings are very hot. Just a moment later, there was a trace of sadness in her eyes: "This time, it's just a small setback, if Wei Zhou can't explain yourself and insists on returning to your hometown, then I'm really disappointed in you." You must know that in the capital, you are not only a good friend, but also a close relative! ”

As she spoke, the Empress Dowager pointed her finger at the emperor and King Langya, and said with a gloomy expression: "The first emperor left this young age of bones and blood, huge mountains and rivers, and I am not a decisive and decisive female in the curtain. I don't talk about the past, just say that this time, if it weren't for Wei Zhou, you forcibly expelled the mob and stabilized Gyeonggi, maybe, maybe...... Am I going to run away with this pair of blood and bones? ”

"Queen Mother's ......"

Seeing the Queen Mother's sad face, Princess Xingnan couldn't help but hold her wrist and whispered: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, no, never again!" My family's Ah Weng and Fu Lang are all virtuous and virtuous, and they will be able to help the community for a long time! ”

Shen Zhezi was also sweaty after hearing this, the previous turmoil left too much psychological shadow on the queen mother, and it was inevitable that she would think about the worst if there was a slight disturbance. He got up and bowed down and comforted: "Queen Mother, please relax, Liyang is arrogant and arrogant, and he will still be killed." This battle is enough to deter both inside and outside, and no one dares to commit any more crimes! ”

The queen mother's sleeves covered her face, and after a long time, her mood gradually calmed down, and then she looked at Shen Zhezi again: "Then Wei Zhou, can you tell me, how could such an evil thing suddenly happen in Duzhong?" Although they are all inside, they are vague and can't say clearly. I know that they are not to blame, and they dare not believe it. ”

This kind of blatant questioning and alienating the Minister of Taiwan is probably only something that the Queen Mother can say. However, although the queen mother asked without scruples, Shen Zhezi replied that she could not be unscrupulous.

It is already an open secret that there is an eyeliner in the forbidden, and there is no need to even bother to install it yourself, as long as the strength and potential reach that point, someone will naturally send the news of interest. This is also an inevitability of the weakness of the imperial power, and it cannot be banned at all, even if it is completely shuffled and new people are replaced, it will soon be eaten into a thousand holes.

If any one is strong enough to completely install its own people, people will not be able to interfere. Then congratulations, the charge of imprisoning the emperor will soon be planted on his head. is as strong as Langya Wang's family, and he has to be planted! After all, imperial power is a shared existence at the moment, you can occupy a little more, but you can't completely monopolize it!

"The minister has been living in the eastern suburbs recently, and he doesn't know much about everything in Duzhong, Taichung has not reached a conclusion, and the minister does not dare to speculate. However, since the queen mother asked, she only spoke about the film that the minister was involved in. ”

After Shen Zhezi groaned slightly, he said with a straight face.

The queen mother bowed slightly after hearing this, the reason why she trusted this son-in-law is very important, in addition to Shen Zhezi's outstanding talent and every meritorious service, is also because he is not arrogant and arrogant, respectful and restrained, and his words are targeted, and it is not good to boast.

"This rebellion seems to be rebellious and rude to the small people, but in fact it should have been instigated by demagoguery. The ministers suppressed the rebellion in several camps in the south of the capital, captured many people who were not in Ding, and are now imprisoned in Stone Town. Later, after the trial between the Protector's Mansion and the Imperial Captain, there should be a result. However, before that, the minister wanted to participate in the Northern Army's Hou Tao Hui, and the Houyuan Ding Battalion was supervised by the Northern Army, but let the laborers leave the camp privately, no matter what the reason, the Northern Army could not escape the blame! ”

Shen Zhezi didn't know much about the details of the internal organization of the Danyang family in this incident. However, Tao Hui is one of the few incumbents in the Danyang family, and he is also an important general in the guard, so it is inevitable to take down this person first. Even if it can't completely disintegrate the collusion between the Danyang people, it will inevitably break up some of them.

Shen Zhezi did not complain in front of the Queen Mother, or kicked Langya Wang to frame him. First, it is useless, and secondly, it is still necessary to focus on solving the Danyang family in the capital now.

Now, it is impossible for Director Wang to come forward to protect the Danyang family, and he may have to take the initiative. This can not only exonerate one's side, but also regain some initiative to deal with the accountability of the local towns in the future. Therefore, this time the Danyang people are immortals and it is difficult to save!
