Chapter 1296 Your Majesty is not the previous Majesty
Seeing Shen Jungao's absent-minded look, Shen Wuhua supported the table: "Uncle, my niece is not kidding!"
"Ah?" Shen Jungao was startled.
And Shen Wuhua stared at him: "Don't you think that Liu Xiuzheng is too active when he keeps running to the house? And maybe my uncle doesn't know that His Majesty had already done this when he was in Huainan. Ask Baipao to be more careful about Liu Xiuzheng, and no matter what this person wants to do, isn't uncle afraid that he will drag you into trouble?"
"This" Shen Jungao hesitated for a moment and didn't know what to say.
Shen Wuhua even said coldly: "Uncle, don't ruin yourself or even the entire Shen family just because of a moment of pleasure!"
Shen Jungao originally wanted to argue, but seeing that Shen Wuhua didn't seem to be joking with him at all, he could only say reluctantly: "That's okay, I know what I know."
"I hope so!" Shen Wuhua said decisively.
Shen Jungao showed an obviously displeased look, but he also knew that Shen Wuhua was right. This Liu Xiuzheng might not have good intentions or simply wanted to talk about poetry and poetry with him to express his frustration. In fact, the latter is what really attracts Shen Jungao.
Undoubtedly, the conversation with Liu Xiuzheng made him feel the resonance.
Although Shen Jungao now serves as the Minister of Punishment and is in charge of the punishment of the entire Han Dynasty, this Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment will ultimately be under the jurisdiction of the Shangshu Province, and the Shangshu Province can only be said to be on an equal footing with the other Zhongshu Provinces and Menxia Provinces. You are in charge of the court alone, not to mention that there is His Majesty the Emperor who is loyal to you.
I think that when Shen Jungao was in charge of the East Palace, Chen Shubao was the master who didn't care about anything and just listened to everything. Chen Xu, because of his old age and illness, seldom took care of the details below. This means that Shen Jungao actually It has reached a position that is approximately below one person and above ten thousand people.
He went from a hermit in Linquan to that position all of a sudden, feeling the taste of power. Now he has experienced ups and downs and left the core of the court's decision-making. It is obviously not something that he can accept easily, and it is nothing. Even if you don't accept it now, you have to accept it. After all, he can't just represent him. Every move he makes is a symbol of the entire Shen family. Whatever he says or does wrong is not just blamed on him. , and will also blame the entire Shen family.
Therefore, although Shen Jungao was very reluctant, he had to follow the footsteps of Xu Ling, Gu Yewang and others in dealing with many things, ignoring his own opinions. In fact, he was not satisfied with Li Xingchen's weakening of the family. Satisfied, Shen Jungao was naturally unwilling to accept that the Shen family had not really reached the pinnacle of power and was about to transform into a new dynasty aristocracy that was restricted by the imperial power or even completely under the control of the imperial power.
The huge foundation left behind by his brother was only one step away from becoming a first-class family in the south, but at this time he had to give up, so Shen Jungao always breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Otherwise, Li Xingchen would set up a college as a new step. When he was constantly suppressing and weakening the family, Shen Jungao would not be so active in linking up the left and right.
It's just that Xu Ling grabbed him in time and helped Shen Jungao realize the seriousness of the matter, and promptly drew a clear line with the other small aristocratic families who were dissatisfied. Otherwise, Li Xingchen might have been killed at the Zhengdan Ceremony. It was not about killing the chicken to scare the monkey, but actually killing the monkey Shen Jungao.
However, Shen Jungao also became increasingly dissatisfied with Li Xinchen, and he was probably not the only one who had similar thoughts, especially when this dissatisfaction expanded to launching a war against Li Xinchen, promoting industrial and commercial development, etc. After all, there were many people who were
Those who harmed their vested interests. And this dissatisfaction was obviously ignited bit by bit after Liu Xiuzheng's arrival.
In the past, these people in Jiankang Mansion were suspicious of each other and wary of each other. They never thought that people who usually thought of as enemies might have similar or even identical thoughts to themselves. But now this thought has passed through Liu Xiuzheng's interactions.
The contact was immediately connected from the original point to a line. Although everyone did not visit each other and did not gather together obviously, they were still somewhat self-aware of Li Xingchen's sense of smell. His Majesty the Emperor was definitely not working behind closed doors and turning a deaf ear.
The master of things outside the window.
Shen Jungao was afraid, fearful, but he also hoped. This complicated mood made him become more and more obsessed with getting more information about like-minded people from Liu Xiuzheng. Perhaps the existence of these people also made him realize that he was not
A person. He hopes to get support from more people and also hopes to change the status quo.
The Shen family should not be as obedient to His Majesty as they are now, and even need to rely on weak women for any progress they want to make. Instead, they should be the ones who call the shots, and it should be the royal family who comes to beg for the support of the Shen family!
Shen Wuhua stared closely at Shen Jungao and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, the current His Majesty is not the previous one. My niece does not want to see her uncle playing with fire and burning himself."
After Shen Jungao was silent for a long time, he slowly stood up: "This uncle knows what he knows. It's getting late, so if there is anything else you need to clean up, hurry up and clean it up."
Shen Wuhua's pretty face turned pale. She seemed to understand Shen Jungao's choice and could only sigh in her heart.
The Shen family, can this really last forever?
If dad is here, I wonder if he can stop uncle?
It's a pity that I can't do anything in it.
And what Shen Jungao just said was clearly an order to expel guests.
"Uncle, take care." Shen Wuhua stood up.
Shen Jungao paused for a moment, then turned around. He originally wanted to say something, but in the end he held it back and left with a flick of his sleeves.
The Shen family, the Shen family's big dream, how can a little girl understand it?
Li Xingchen, is Li Xingchen really that powerful? He has two shoulders carrying one head, so why should he, Li Xingchen, take charge of the world? If he hadn't been negligent in the beginning, it would not have been his turn to rise to prominence.
In the three hundred years of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there have been many heroes and heroes who have reached their current position. From Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty Liu Yu to Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty to Chen Baxian, which one is not a hero, and which one is not a powerful figure in his own dynasty?
But didn’t they surrender to the rules of this aristocratic family in the end? Didn’t everything still have to be controlled by the aristocratic family?
This is a rule, a three-hundred-year-old rule that cannot be broken just by saying it is broken.
The Shen family still has a chance!
Seeing Shen Jungao's back, Shen Wuhua sat back helplessly.
From the looks of it, I'm afraid I'm going to be caught in the middle again.
