0032 Self-inflicted humiliation

Although the expatriate has not lived for a long time, the Wang family is the highest gate in the north and south, and its mansion in Wuyi Lane can be called magnificent. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Unlike the Ji family's indigenous mansion, which is mediocre outside and has a cave inside, it can be called a preemptive outside the courtyard of the Wang family's mansion. The royal Hengmen honor guard, covered with flags, has almost exceeded the specifications of the ministers, and it shows the Xuanhe family background of the king and the horse in the world. In the meantime, there are white gauze silk flags, and in addition to the majesty, there is still slaughter.

Shen Zhezi walked to the front of the palace and saw a lot of traffic, full of guests, and it seemed that the house was feasting guests. In a short period of time, I saw several ox carts coming to the scholars, many of whom were wearing official robes, and it seemed that they had just left the official residence in Taicheng and had no time to rush home to change their clothes, so they hurried to the royal banquet.

Such a situation is slightly inconsistent with Shen Zhezi's imagination, and it does not seem to be in line with Wang's current situation. The plot failed, and several important clansmen died one after another, and they should have died down and whispered to themselves, but at this time, the guests were feasted, lest they not be publicized, they would not match their feelings, and they would not be in line with the etiquette.

Standing on the side of the courtyard and observing for a while, Shen Zhezi found that the comers spoke with a northern accent, and gradually became enlightened. The reason why the Wang family is like this is to demonstrate and show the world that their power has not fallen. At the same time, it is also the major overseas Chinese who unite to keep warm.

Although this move is inevitably suspicious of inwardness, it is the most direct and superficial means of self-protection at the moment. The families showed their attitude with practical actions, but they still only looked forward to the Wang family and had no intention of changing the status quo.

In this formation, there were two objects of demonstration. One is those forces that want to take advantage of the situation and shuffle the pattern, Nanshi, Liumin Shuai, clans and potential imperial parties. The other is naturally the emperor in Taicheng, and it is not yet the moment of the revolution to change the sky, if you don't want the world to return to turmoil, even if it is a real dragon, you have to coil it!

Shen Zhezi is currently being persecuted by the imperial power, and seeing the Wang family openly forming a party to give the emperor eye medicine, it is conceivable how angry the emperor in Taicheng will be, so his mood is not unpleasant. But it can also be seen that these overseas Chinese are determined to maintain the status quo, and in order to maintain their own privileges, they dare to break the ban and dare to work hard!

If you think about it a little deeper, His Majesty the Emperor in Taicheng seems to have an advantage, but in fact, he has become a real loner. He may be a worthy emperor, but he is not the kind of person who is needed. The Holy Son of Heaven ruled by the arch, and it is a sin to be too good in itself, and he looks at each other and hates each other, so how long will it last?

The butt decides the head, even in Shen Zhezi's opinion, the untimely death of the current emperor is a result that all parties are happy to see nowadays, and no one wants to toss with him.

Feeling emotionally in his heart, Shen Zhezi asked one of the guards to hand over his name card and stood under the courtyard waiting for the introduction. But the name post has been put in for a long time, and it has never been able to respond. During this period, several waves of visitors were all introduced into the house, only Shen Zhezi stood in place and no one paid attention, and several Wang protégés who were responsible for entertaining guests turned a blind eye to it after handing in the name post, and the snub was extremely obvious, and gradually became eye-catching.

The guests who came in and out saw the teenager who was always standing there, and they would inevitably be curious, so they asked the Wang protégé, who was responsible for receiving the guests in the courtyard, about the identity of the teenager. Once he knew Shen Zhezi's identity, his reactions varied, some were dismissive, some were full of contempt, and even some directly spat at the young man's feet, scolding the "deceitful man", none of them showed any kindness.

Shen Zhezi knew that this trip would not end well, and he could handle it calmly after being treated coldly. He understood that it should not be Director Wang's idea to be turned away, and he couldn't alarm Director Wang with his identity, most likely because there was a problem in the process of passing the post, and it was possible that someone intercepted and obstructed it.

Standing here and being looked down upon, Shen Zhezi thought for a long time, and gradually understood the deep meaning of Ji Zhan letting him come to visit the Wang family.

The old man may not have guessed that he couldn't even get through the door, but he certainly knew that the trip would not end well. The reason why I let myself come over is probably to test my ability to deal with things again. On the other hand, he wanted to use this matter to let Wu Xing's Shen family and Wang Menqiao's surname be settled.

The background of the Shen family is too complicated, they are not only southerners, but also hooked up with the overseas Chinese surname Wang, and then turned to the Yingchuan Yu family. It seems to have something to do with all sides, but in fact, it can't be tolerated by any party. Because of this, he will be coerced by the clan.

Even if Ji Zhan wants to come forward to protect the Shen family, he must also consider the subsequent impact, especially what kind of signal this move will send to the emperor in Taicheng. Will the emperor suspect that the northern and southern scholars used the Wuxing Shen clan as a link to unite to put pressure on the imperial power?

Therefore, Shen Zhezi's mission to visit the Wang family is to announce to the outside world that the Shen family is no longer tolerated by the Wang family, so as to draw a clear line with the overseas Chinese surname and completely belong to the Wu Shi group. In short, it is to send the face to the person, and the harder the beating, the better the effect.

In this way, Ji Zhan came forward again to protect the interests of Wu Shi, and it is natural to rely on his identity and fame, and it can also stabilize the hearts of the southerners, so that the southerners can understand that only Sangzi Township is reliable at the critical moment. Even if the emperor has some grievances, it is not good to use this matter as an excuse.

As soon as he understood this truth, Shen Zhezi's mentality calmed down, and he stood outside the gate of the Wang family, bearing the cold eyes and contempt of many guests, so that more people could see this scene. At the same time, I also sincerely admired Ji Zhan in my heart, which seemed to be an ordinary action, but it was full of deep meaning. Compared with these old foxes, their plans are too exposed, they use too much force, and they still need to cultivate.

As Shen Zhezi expected, although he was treated coldly in front of the Wang family, in fact, there was no shortage of people in Jiankang City who paid attention to him.

As Shen Chong's sister-in-law, this young man is the most important member of the Wu Xing Shen family in Jiankang City, and his every move can be regarded as Shen Chong's attitude.

Although the Shen family is not visible, it is a force to be reckoned with among the natives of Jiangnan, and where it ultimately goes can even affect the evolution of the situation after the turmoil to some extent.

The first to discover Shen Zhezi's movements was the people arranged by Sima Zong, the king of Nanton, to monitor him, and the group of people didn't expect the young man to react so sensitively and quickly, and as soon as they found out that they were being followed, they responded and escaped from their surveillance.

A group of people anxiously expanded the search area along the banks of the Qinhuai River, and soon found Shen Zhezi's traces in Wuyi Alley. They did not dare to be presumptuous at the door of the king's house, so they could only guard the neighborhood while sending people back to report and ask for instructions.

Sima Zong, the king of Nanton, was the general of the left guard, in charge of the guard, and should be stationed in Taicheng according to the law. In the past few years, although he and his brother Sima Yi, the king of Xiyang, have made meritorious contributions to the dragon, they only occupy a prominent position but have no authority, and they have always been left aside. It wasn't until the new emperor ascended the throne and aspired to get rid of the shackles of the powerful ministers that the situation of these clans gradually improved.

In the military to suppress the Wang rebellion, Sima Zong was able to take charge of the Praetorian Guard, and once he was in power, he felt more and more that his previous life was wasted. The emperor's intention to support the clan to defend the imperial power was extremely obvious, and Sima Zong naturally wanted to seize this rare opportunity to consolidate his power.

Sima Zong befriended his uncle Yu Yin, but Yu Yin's situation was similar to him, he was not a high-ranking family, and he was fortunate enough to be promoted, and he could conspire in the dark room, which could not provide him with greater help. Immediately, he and his brother secretly communicated with Su Jun, the homeless marshal who went south to King Qin, but the homeless handsome soldiers were fierce generals and were not reliable foreign aid.

It was under such circumstances that Sima Zong targeted Shen Chong. Wu Xing Shen clan Jiangdong Hao, if you can connect with it, not only can you stabilize your position, but even stretch out your hand to the land of Sanwu, money, food and force can be used, I feel excited when I think about it!

Although he had this thought, Sima Zong did not dare to act rashly. Previously, Yu Yi was forced to land on Shen Chong in Wuxing, and the emperor was happy, but he was worried. Sima Zong saw it in his eyes, and said in a timely manner that he could show favor to Shen Chong, and even Shen Chong plus General Anton, which was proposed by Sima Zong.

Although the emperor was quite disgusted with Shen Chong, he still agreed to Sima Zong's proposal. The signal sent by this is self-evident, and then Yu Yi Taicheng played against the emperor and detained him in Taicheng, which undoubtedly helped Sima Zong clear the obstacles to recruiting Shen Chong.

Wu Xing's Shen family was already lonely, and Sima Zong knew that his opportunity had come, so he immediately arranged for someone to send out invitations. As long as Shen Chong's son steps into his own house, then even if Shen Chong has no other arms, it will be useless.

After the invitation was sent, Sima Zong had been in a state of excitement, and although he was in Taicheng, his heart had already flown into the distance.

When he heard his subordinates report that Shen Chong's son asked to see him in front of the palace but couldn't even enter the door, Sima Zong felt quite unhappy, thinking that he was actually despised by a son, so he threw his overtures aside, and turned to the Wang family, which he could not protect.

But then he sneered: "It's rare for this kid to know a little about the current situation, but it's really naïve." His family first isolated themselves from the Wang family, but now he went to the Wang family for help, do you really think that the Wang family is a sage family regardless of previous suspicions? It's just a self-inflicted humiliation. ”

After laughing at Shen Zhezi's innocence, he inevitably had another extraneous branch, and Sima Zong instructed: "After he leaves the Wang family's mansion, he will immediately invite someone to my mansion." If you dare to resist, you might as well teach him a lesson! ”

After sending his subordinates away, Sima Zong signaled the chamberlain to spread the matter into the inner garden. Although the emperor did not say anything, Sima Zong also knew that if he concealed something, he would definitely not end well.

At the same time, Yu Liang walked into the Shaofu official residence with a gloomy face, walked straight into Yu Yi's room, raised his finger and pointed at the other party fiercely.

Yu Yishang was worried that he had made a mistake in Taicheng, and he was worried that Shen Zhezi would not be able to cope with the variables, and when he saw the appearance of the eldest brother, he felt even more shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Eldest brother, what happened?" ”

"You still have the face to ask me! That Shen family Xiaolang is asking to see him in front of the palace, this is the person you trust? ”

Yu Liang hated it, not all because of the loss of the Shen family's foreign aid, but because the other party's move to the Wang family made him feel humiliated.

When Yu Yi heard the news, he was also shocked on the spot, and his mind was chaotic. He risked his life to pull the Shen family from the Wang family's side, and it was only less than a day before the other party turned to the Wang family. As a result, the feat of what he thought he had done at the time seemed to be a big joke.

Yu Yi lowered his head, let the eldest brother reprimand him for a long time, and never said a word. waited until Yu Liang left, and his thoughts gradually straightened out. Others don't understand Shen Zhezi, and only treat him as a child who doesn't care about the world, but Yu Yi knows that this son is capable, and he is by no means a person with such a shallow vision, and this move must have its deep meaning!

It's just that what Shen Zhezi's true intentions are, Yu Yi racked his brains, and he really couldn't think of it.
