Chapter 207 Shi Hao's visit, Shen Tang contemplates
Chapter 207: Shi Hao visits, Shen Tang thinks
The news soon spread to Lin'an. First, when Zhang Jun recognized Liu Xiangling as his adopted daughter, this incident shocked many people. Some people who didn't know Liu Xiangling's origins made some inquiries and couldn't help being surprised. Could it be that at this critical moment, Prime Minister Zhang wanted to give the other party an excuse? Even Shen Tang was extremely shocked when he heard the news! He didn't understand what Zhang Jun's purpose was.
However, Shen Tang and Liu Xiangling obviously could not guess Zhang Jun's intentions. Therefore, they could only temporarily acquiesce in ignorance.
"Master, there is an adult coming to see you!" In the afternoon, Shen Tang and Liu Xiangling were chatting, but Lian'er walked in and spoke to Shen Tang.
"Oh?" Shen Tang was stunned. Now they are in Zhang Jun's mansion, so who is this person?
"Madam, please sit here peacefully, and your husband will come as soon as you go!" Shen Tang said to Liu Xiangling.
Then, Shen Tang walked towards the hall not far away under the guidance of Lian'er.
This Jun's mansion is not that big, and is even a bit smaller than the Su family's old mansion. However, it is fully equipped with all the necessary features, and is even slightly better in terms of exquisiteness and scenery.
After passing through the buildings, Shen Tang came to the hall. He saw a man in his forties, wearing a purple official robe, sitting quietly in the hall drinking tea.
"Shen Tang has met your Excellency!"
Entering the house, Shen Tang bowed his hands and saluted, "I wonder why your Excellency is here? I'm staying here, but the master is not here."
Although Shen Tang is not clear about the grade of this official uniform, the person in front of him is definitely a high-ranking official. Apart from Lu You, he has no other acquaintances in Lin'an City. Therefore, this person Most likely he came to see Zhang Jun.
However, this man waved his hand and said, "Mr. Shen, you are welcome. Shi is here just to meet Mr. Shen!"
Shen Tang was stunned for a moment, and then he sat down next to this person, "I wonder what advice you can give me here?"
"Master Shen and Prime Minister Zhang have a very good relationship?" this person asked.
After a slight hesitation, Shen Tang responded, "I have the honor to meet Mr. Zhang several times. Mr. Zhang somewhat appreciates me, but I am very ashamed of him."
"Appreciation?" The man laughed, "In my opinion, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as appreciation. To be able to recognize Liu Xiangling as the adopted daughter to exonerate her, and to allow you and your wife to live in the Zhang Mansion, how can you simply say that? Is it clear?”
Shen Tang was stunned, but he was trying to figure out the purpose of this person's visit, "I don't know your lord's name yet, but if I don't know, I can tell you easily."
The man smiled and said, "I am Shi Hao, whose courtesy name is Zhiweng. Fortunately, I have been trusted by the Holy Emperor and have been appointed as a counselor in political affairs. Now I am serving as the right servant of the minister!"
"boom!"
A few simple words, but they exploded in Shen Tang's mind.
Shangshu Youpushe, isn't this a big-shot figure comparable to Zhang Jun? He is even a bit purer than Zhang Jun. In other words, in terms of official status, even Zhang Jun is slightly better. inferior.
Of course, now that Zhang Jun is the privy envoy and has military power in his hands, his power is naturally unparalleled. However, the big boss in front of him is definitely the top figure in the court.
However, what could such a big shot do if he came to see him, Shen Tang? He thought he was somewhat capable, but he would not think that such a big shot could condescend to him.
After a while, Shen Tang finally realized what he had done, so he raised his hand again and asked: "I have seen you, sir, and you came to your door. I didn't come far to welcome you, but I still hope that you will atone for your sins. I don't know, you came to your door today, but what's the matter?"
Shi Hao smiled softly, "Of course I came here this time to meet Mr. Shen and see how talented the person recommended by Prime Minister Zhang is."
His words made Shen Tang confused. Could it be that Zhang Jun was going to ask him to do something? But why didn't he send any news to him?
Seeing Shen Tang's silence, Shi Hao continued: "Do you know what's going on in the court now?"
Shen Tang shook his head, "This villain is focused on preparing for next year's provincial examination, but he doesn't know what's going on in the court."
"Today, there is a major event in the court, but it has once again caused great disputes and turmoil. This time, the matter is of great importance. It is not only related to the official positions and destiny of us people, but also to the country of the Song Dynasty. "
Shen Tang just listened quietly and was not in a hurry to speak.
"Three days ago, Zhang Jun submitted a petition to vindicate Yue Fei and Yue Pengju!" After a pause, Shi Hao suddenly said.
When Shen Tang heard this, his eyes couldn't help but tighten. Even though he didn't understand the current situation in the court, it didn't mean that he didn't know the seriousness of this matter.
To rehabilitate Yue Fei means that the top forces in the court will enter into the most terrifying struggle.
However, what Shen Tang doesn't know is why Shi Hao told him these things. Shen Tang doesn't think that he can have any influence on this matter. It is no exaggeration to say that not to mention Shen Tang, even Zhang Jun , it is absolutely impossible for a big boss like Shi Hao to be completely sure. After all, the impact of this matter is too great.
"Now that Prime Minister Zhang is sitting in the north and controlling tens of thousands of troops, it is naturally impossible for him to return." Shi Hao said lightly, "Therefore, the power of our main fighting faction cannot be consolidated into one. Therefore, we have taken over After receiving the message from Prime Minister Zhang, according to Prime Minister Zhang's wishes, you will be responsible for planning this matter, and all the strength of our department will be temporarily dispatched by you."
Shen Tang didn't reply, and he didn't even have any surprise on his face, because he was completely stunned by Shi Hao's words.
This matter is related to the entire court structure, the fate and even the lives of countless big bosses. It may also be related to the battle for the throne. Zhang Jun wants to let himself take control of this matter? Is this giving up completely? Or is it that? There is no hope in this matter, so let yourself be used as cannon fodder? Anyway, Shen Tang only has these two thoughts.
After a long while, Shen Tang looked at Shi Hao dumbfounded, "This... Sir, are you kidding me?"
Shi Hao slowly shook his head, "To be honest, I don't agree with Zhang Jun's approach on this matter, because even if I understand some things about you, I still don't have any confidence in you. This matter is of great concern to everyone They are all important. The only bad thing is that the country will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed. However, Zhang Jun must give you a chance. Therefore, I came to see you today."
"If you don't agree, it's naturally best. Although Zhang Jun is not here, we are still powerful in the court, and we have the Holy One to rely on, so the chance of winning is not small. If you agree, then you have to think There is a way to convince us. As long as you can convince all of us, then, at least on this matter, all our strength will be at your disposal, and at the same time, the success or failure of the matter will fall on you."
