Chapter 261 The question of successor

"I'll keep it?" Chen Si put his body on the back of the chair and said angrily: "I'll keep it when I'll come?"

"The master said, please take it in first, and wait until you come back." Chunhua said with a tense face: "You can drive them all away quickly. We are so small that I can clean up alone, so I can't keep so many idle people in vain."

Chen Si was amused by her, and he picked up the teacup and said, "Where is my father, still in the yamen?"

"How can it be?" Chunhua saw that the young master did not comment, and said a little disappointed: "You are Jie Yuan now. How can you still work in the yamen? Losing our family's integrity also makes the Shangguans uncomfortable."

"Have you resigned?" Chen Si frowned slightly. It was not easy for his father to be well-known, but he gave up for his winnings. It was such a pity.

"That's not necessary." Chunhua said proudly: "Master is called a long holiday. Even if he never goes back to the yamen to work, he is still an experienced official in the mansion. Qian Zhaofa and Mi Zhao are the ones."

Chen Si frowned again, but he didn't say anything after all, but asked, "Where has my dad been?"

"I'm so busy." Chunhua said empathically: "First I had a flowing mat for three consecutive days, and then I took Chen An to prepare for your engagement ceremony. I was so busy that my feet were not touching the ground, and there was a circle of bubbles on my mouth."

"Why do you have to?" Chen Jing said inconscientiously: "You are in love with both parties, will you give me a letter of appointment soon?"

"Oh, my master." Chunhua covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Among the three books and six rites, what our men value most is this big gift. Even poor people have to buy it in full, meticulous, for fear that they will make people laugh, let alone..."

"What's more, it's the Jie Yuan family." Chen Shuo said a word, then glared at her and said, "Please keep these two words on your lips."

Chunhua shrank her neck and replied in a low voice: "I know that's it."

After touching the teacup silently, it was empty. He said unhappily: "So many people are idle, but they still leave the teacup empty. What's the use of raising so many people?"

Chunhua knew that the young master had taken advantage of the problem and volunteered to say, "I drove them all away."

"But we can't chase them all." Chen Si shook his head and said, "It's said that my Shen family cannot tolerate it, so let's leave five or six people who listen to you first, and the rest... will be given some money to be dismissed."

"So they still pay for money?" Chunhua said with wide eyes: "They did nothing, they just eat and do nothing."

"It's so much nonsense." Shun cursed: "It's not that you asked you to pay, go five liang per person." Seeing that Chunhua was still slowing down, he said angrily: "If you don't go, you can take five liang away." Chunhua was so scared that she ran out with a piss.

This kind of old family member before development will naturally not clear away at will, but it is necessary to knock them from time to time, so as not to rely on their seniority and break the rules, and it will be difficult to meet.

He ordered Tiezhu to help Chunhua and handle the idle people in the yard. After silently, he changed his clothes. He went to the Shen family's terrace gate to pay homage to Mr. Shen, and then went to the prefect's office to visit Prince Tang. As a junior, this is a necessary etiquette. Especially when Zhongjie Yuan, he couldn't let anyone say anything... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel depressed and said, "I still think that Chunhua always keeps the word "Xie Yuan" in my heart. Why don't I always keep it in my heart?"

But I finally realized that my life has really been changed by this title, but fortunately it is not difficult to adapt from low to high, from simple to extravagant.

When he saw Mr. Shen, the old man was naturally very happy. He put up a table to greet him. There were no outsiders, so he drank with his father and said with ease.

Mr. Shen praised him first, and then said with a red face: "The day before yesterday was auspicious day, so I gathered my tribesmen and prayed to ancestors with your father." As he said that, he stretched out his five fingers and said: "I used the full ceremony of the five animals. When your master and I became a Jinshi, we didn't have such a grand life."

Chen Si quickly said, "You have killed your nephew, I really can't afford it."

"Add to take responsibility." Mr. Shen shook his head and smiled, "It's not rare for Jinshi, but Xiao Sanyuan plus Jie Yuanlang, that's a big four-year happy. I don't know if there was any past in the Ming Dynasty. I have never heard of it anyway." Another expression of devout expression: "With such a heavy courtesy, there is another meaning, which is to ask your ancestors to protect you, bless you to continue your efforts, win the Huiyuan and the top scholar, and complete the six-headed Shen in the world," he said, patting his silent shoulder hard and saying, "Then the lintel of our Shen family must be equal to the government office!"

Silenced this sweat and said with a wry smile: "You really dare to think that I was lucky enough to win the title in Zhejiang, but it may not be a big deal if I put it nationwide."

"No." Mr. Shen shook his head firmly and said, "Look at the list of Jinshi in history. Since the Hongwu period, half of the top scorers have been produced in Zhejiang." He smiled proudly and said, "If you can win the first place in our Zhejiang, you will be the most competitive in the country," he said, patting his silent shoulder and said, "Work hard, I'm optimistic about you!"

Chen Si could only smile bitterly: "Uncle, I really... I respect me so much."

Mr. Shen laughed and said, "Remember, when you were wearing patch-stacked clothes, Chen Jing took me to see me. He was like that in the down-and-out style. I believe you will definitely become a talent... How about now? Time proves that my vision is so accurate." With a 'slip', he killed a small wine and said proudly: "In history books many years later, when you are a man of mediocrity, you must say good things like "I have a wise eye to recognize talents and help you complete your studies."

Hearing him say this, Chen Si said sincerely: "What you always say is that without your old care, I would not have completed my studies." As he said that, he brought wine to Mr. Shen and said: "Your old kindness is silent and unforgettable."

Mr. Shen happily took the wine glass, but just about to drink it, but remembered something, and his eyes suddenly turned red and said, "Actually, your master should drink this glass of wine more than me."

Chen Si nodded sadly and said, "I am so unfilial to my disciple. Not only can I not help my master, but also Senior Brother Chen Xiang."

Chen Xiang was not able to participate in the provincial examination after all. Even though Wang Xue's disciple had already put him in the list of subjects, his qualification to participate in the autumn examination was still ruthlessly deprived.

Because at the end of July, the unresolved Chen Lian case was finally sentenced. In addition to slandering and attacking the court's wise officials, there was another one... Because Wang Xueyi, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, who convicted him, was proficient in the law and was a member of the strict party, knew that it was impossible to be beheaded by scolding people, and the organization ordered him to quickly defeat Chen Lian. So Wang added another "Decree of the Prince" to confirm Chen Lian's death penalty.

Although He Ao, the Minister of Justice, wanted to stick to principles and refused to give a reply, Shi Chaobin, the doctor in charge of issuing the order, also made it clear that he would never implement it. But how could Master Yan’s order be stubborn? Soon Shi Chaobin was dismissed from office, and He Ao was also warned that no matter how disobedient he was, he would get out of here. You two could still be a companion.

He Ao spent most of his life a senior official in the ministry. He could not ruin his career for his conscience, so he had to choose to compromise and gave a handling opinion - to execute according to the law, execute immediately, and then report it to the emperor to the court.

Although a few days before the provincial examination, news came from Beijing that His Majesty did not agree to the execution of Chen Lian and only ordered the Ministry of Justice to continue to be detained. However, Chen Lian's charge was not cleared, and Chen Xiang was still the son of the criminal and was still unable to participate in the provincial examination.

Seeing the silent and self-blame, Mr. Shen smiled happily and said, "Don't blame yourself. Your Majesty suppressed your master's case. It can be seen that he did not want to be killed by Yan Song with a knife. This was absolutely impossible a few years ago."

Chen Si suddenly lowered his voice and said, "The original Shoujiao Xia was killed like this, but my master survived. Uncle, what do you mean by this?"

"Geor Yan's control over His Majesty... Oh no, has the influence decreased?" Mr. Shen asked softly.

"It's definitely like this." Silently said confidently: "I have three reasons. First, the candidate for our Southeast Governor General was changed from Zhang Jing to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu went to change to Yang Yi now, but he didn't need the person recommended by Master Yan. Second, the Yan Party attacked Zhang Jing so fiercely, and everyone in the world thought that Zhang Butang was dead, and even Master Xu was finished. As a result, Zhang Jing just went home to spend his old age, and Master Xu's life became more and more nourishing; third..."

"The third is Yan Song's old rival. Li Shiyan re-appointed the post of Minister of Personnel." Mr. Shen whispered: "Why is this? Are Your Majesty tired of Yan Song?"

"It's not so much to get bored," Chen Si chuckled, "all signs indicate that he is a friend named 'age' who is running Yan Ge Lao."

"Age?" Mr. Shen suddenly said: "Gei Yan should be seventy-six years old, and he has been over the age of retirement for six years."

"Even if his old man is in a dragon horse spirit, he will be stronger." He smiled silently, "Your Majesty also has to mutter, Lian Po is old, can he still eat? After all, I have never had such an old prime minister in the Ming Dynasty."

"Yes, I can't say that I'm in grades at all." Mr. Shen nodded and said, "Maybe it's okay today, but I'll die tomorrow."

"Your Majesty is the lord of the world, it is impossible for him to ignore this issue." He smiled silently, "So I dare say that whether it is Mr. Xu or Li Shiyan, they are all the successors of Mr. Yan prepared by Mr. Yan. How can Mr. Yan defeat them?"
