In addition to being an important place for Jiankang city defense, the Zhoushan area is also a concentration of a large number of princes and nobles' estates. It is precisely because of this that it is difficult for ordinary civilians to get close here.

But this does not mean that the welcome scene here in Zhoushan is small, a large number of powerful families have already been waiting here, surrounded by many servants. They are either on their own or in a mixed group. As soon as the ship slowly landed, they all rushed forward, hoping to seize a position closer to Liang Gong for conversation.

To be honest, although Shen Zhezi also had a hunch that the movement of this trip to the capital would not be small, he did not expect it to be so noisy. His return to the capital this time is essentially a part of the game with Taichung, and such a turbulent welcome scene will inevitably give him the blessing of potential energy, so that he will be in a more advantageous position in the next game.

Shen Zhezi has also learned the news of sending Yu Bing to Huaiyin to meet Xi Jian in the front desk. It stands to reason that this trip was fruitless, which means that Taicheng has fallen completely behind on the issue of Xuzhou, and it must be made up for in other aspects, such as blocking the issue of Xiang Jian's posthumous gift that he reported before.

Based on this logic, Taichung must hope that the smaller the movement of his return to the capital, the more in their interests. After all, Jiankang is their home field, if they want to, they will definitely be able to do it, for example, if Shen Zhezi's true intention to return to the capital this time is revealed a little, these people who came to greet them will definitely be less than half.

Because in the absence of a clear appeal for interests, no one wants to put themselves in a treacherous power struggle. Why should they provoke some unpredictable calamity on themselves in order to catch a meaningless bustle?

Or do they want to use this kind of noise to show that Shen Zhezi is already strong to a dangerous level? This is not necessary, because Shen Zhezi's danger is already really felt, and even those who are interested in targeting him should have reached a consensus, and there is no need to emphasize the harmfulness of Shen Zhezi's rise.

Because he couldn't figure it out, Shen Zhezi was a little careful. Although he often exchanged views on the situation with his father, after all, there were many first-hand details to corroborate the correspondence, and most of his energy was in the north before, so he was a little unfamiliar with the evolution of the current situation in Jiangdong after all.

Therefore, here in Zhoushan, Shen Zhezi also refused the invitations of many fashionable people, and in the name of tiring boats and cars, he soon lived in the royal garden villa arranged nearby in Taichung. Although the Shen family also has a villa here, he is now entering the capital as a foreign town and a strong domain, so there is no need to be willful and casual in this kind of high-profile situation.

On the way, Shen Zhezi also had intermittent exchanges with his uncle Shen Ke, who came to greet him, and agreed to return home to visit him one day. His itinerary this time was relatively tight, and he was expected to stay in the capital for about 20 days, and more than half of it would have to attend various ceremonies.

After all, he was unable to return to the capital last year because of the unstable affairs in the north, and many major ceremonies were absent. This time when he returned to the capital, Taichang and other Yousi urgently arranged some ceremonial compensation.

Although Shen Zhezi didn't care much about this and felt that it was cumbersome and useless, at present, how the courtiers enjoyed in various ceremonies was also a very important part of their political treatment. And this is not Shen Zhezi's problem alone, the importance attached to him is also a recognition of the merits of Jiangbei civil and military officials.

Some of the ceremonies were rescheduled at the request of Du He, Xie Shang and others. Taichung cooperated so much, Shen Zhezi naturally couldn't shirk it.

After deducting the time spent on these ceremonies, there is still a need to make substantive negotiations with the ministers on this issue. Therefore, Shen Zhezi really doesn't have much free time, and he can only go home to visit for two or three days at most. This is also the fact that with the elevation of power, the freedom of the individual is naturally deprived and restricted.

Because Zhoushan itself is a quiet garden villa area, and because of the arrival of Shen Zhezi, a large number of dignitaries have rushed here, so the arrangement in terms of defense is not too exaggerated.

What's more, Shen Zhezi is not alone, the hundreds of sword armor soldiers in his attaché are the elite of the elite selected from the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Huainan, and their combat effectiveness is only stronger than the elite Longxi pawns of the Shen family's elite soldiers in the early years. And when Shen Zhezi is in his current position, he is not accustomed to sleeping under the protection of military forces that do not belong to his control.

In short, although Shen Zhezi faintly felt that some aspects were strange, there was indeed nothing abnormal in many things at the moment. Up to now, he has more and more things to deal with, and some detailed matters naturally have to be handled by his subordinates.

Therefore, after Shen Zhezi stayed in the other garden, he talked a little about the war in Hebei with several clan relatives such as the king of Huainan and some Taiwanese assistants, and then sent everyone away and prepared to rest. Among his attachés, Li Chong, Liu Ne, Wen Fangzhi and others rarely rested, and they had to rush to a banquet that was warmly invited by the people in the capital, which could be regarded as collecting information for the governor as a staff officer.

Shen Chong is now in the capital, and he is a complete rich idler. Although he held a high position as Sikong, no one forced him to go to Taicheng every day to report. More people even wish that he would disappear from Taicheng, not because of the demand of the power struggle, but because they simply couldn't stand his disgusting face.

Instead of working diligently and in vain, it is better to teach young sages for the country. Many words are summed up into one meaning, that is, Lao Tzu is not in the same realm as you, and even a few Taifu are all sons in his words.

The son is holding heavy troops outside, which makes people sleepless at night, and Lao Tzu is swaggering and showing off inside, which is refreshing and annoying. This father and son have cast an indelible shadow in the minds of some Taiwanese ministers.

Although Xuan'er is happy every day, Shen Zhezi returned to the capital this time, and Shen Chong honestly stayed at home and didn't join in the excitement. Of course, he is not just a dry lookout, but also gathers the tribesmen around Gyeonggi to wait for his son to take time to set up a family banquet to celebrate.

This time, Shen Chong quickly noticed something strange about the out-of-specification welcome scene in Jiankang City. So he handed over some housework to the clansmen, and he and Qian Feng gathered in the dark room to discuss the unusual.

"When the matter of my son's return to the capital was introduced to the capital, it was widely known. Previously, I only said that the reputation of the special merit should be so, and I think it is ordinary. But now it seems that there are some details that cannot be taken lightly. After all, this time I returned to the capital, and the place was still entangled in Beishi's mourning. Taichung's intention to obstruct it should not be known to the times. ”

Shen Chongshen frowned, with an incomprehensible expression. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, he is simply not too idle, without the disturbance of housework, without the burden of family business, just relying on his son's meritorious work, he can be high in the position of the third prince, which is really an outlier in the world.

But only those who are really close to him know that in order to maintain this stable state at the moment, Shen Chong is simply heartbroken. Although the Shen clan is now in the hands of the army, no one dares to insult him, but if there is a dispute over general affairs, he must use force to deter him, and this force is unstable.

And the reason why Taichung couldn't insert his hand into Huainan for a long time was that many attempts were blocked back here by Shen Chong.

The so-called high wall that cannot be dug down, only a hoe that is not diligent, Shen Chong's existence is a dense thorn bush outside the high wall, and many people have been scratched and bruised by thorns before they have even walked under the high wall.

So after realizing the problem, Shen Chong immediately took it to heart.

Qian Feng also looked a little puzzled at this time, and muttered: "Hebei good news is frequent, Yu Bing's northward journey is frustrated, and Taichung can be said to be a big blow. Similar to forcibly blocking Beishi Mourning, its intention is to disturb the voice of the people in Hebei, so that the governor of the capital can be calm. However, the current approach is clearly not afraid of our imposition with human favors. So among them, there must be a hidden trick. ”

"Those who are afraid of Taichung, first, the border affairs are settled, and most of the governors are calm, and second, they miscalculate in Xuzhen, and there is no check and balance in Jiangbei. Otherwise, the rest can be deferred. But if Taichung doesn't even do anything to fight for this point, I'm afraid that there will already be another dangerous plan......"

When Shen Chong heard Qian Feng's analysis, his heart suddenly tensed, and he couldn't help but clench his fists: "They dare? Are they not afraid of ......?"

At this time, Ren Qiu, the original princess's family order, hurriedly walked into the room, bowed his hand to the two people on the table slightly, and then said in a low voice: "The northern army of Wupingling has suddenly moved, and it has already left the accommodation and is heading to Zhoushan......

"What!"

Shen Chong was concerned about the chaos, and after hearing this, his body was already suddenly shocked, and the whole person jumped up from the seat, stepped on the table in front of him, and said angrily: "What does the thief want?" Do you really want to test my sword? ”

Speaking of this, his whole person was already bearded, grabbed the saber on the weapon rack behind him with his backhand, pointed at Qian Feng and said: "I will gather the family to go east first, Shiyi will quickly go to the south to gather the armor soldiers, let you gather the rangers of the two cities and go straight to Wuyifang, where you see a few family members, directly capture, life and death!" ”

Shen Chong has also been prepared for this kind of emergency measures. Even if it is an emergency, he is not worried about being directly encircled in the courtyard, nearly half of Shen Gongfang is the Shen family's house, and there are many hidden warehouses with silk silk, firewood and other things, once burned, a large area of the square area will be reduced to a sea of fire. Among them, there is not only the determination to end up together, but also the cunning to rush out of the chaos.

Hearing that Shen Chong was in a hurry to start the emergency plan, Qian Feng and Ren Qiu's faces changed greatly, Qian Feng stepped forward and grabbed Shen Chong and said: "Ming Gong still needs to be cautious, the capital governor has accumulated power today, and the threat of swords and soldiers is really a good strategy." Even if Taichung makes another risky scheme, the key is not here. What's more, there are several guards who are holding on to each other, if they are squandered inside, this is self-destruction! ”

Shen Chong has also been immersed in conspiracy for a long time, and it is inevitable that his heartstrings will be tense, especially this time, which involves the safety of his son, who he regards as more important than his life, so he will naturally overreact. In fact, with his infiltration in the capital over the years, if Taichung really decided to take risks, he could not have had the slightest foreknowledge in advance.

Therefore, after Qian Feng's persuasion, Shen Chong quickly calmed down, but his face was still difficult to see, and he said angrily: "No matter what the thief's intentions are, Shiyi, you still go to the southern half of the capital to prepare for the contingency first." In addition, let you quickly go back and explore, what is the inside situation of the Northern Army's military movement this time, and find out who wrote it, I will kill this fang! ”
