Sheng Shian

Shen Shi twitched the corners of his mouth, Song Feng'an would tell nonsense with his eyes open, and he is already old in his 40s. Why didn't you have the awareness when you forced me to be a night-blind person to turn on the lamp to discuss matters?

However, Song Feng'an still left room for him. Now that he is ill, he has a reasonable excuse.

It's just that the old friend has a parental heart, condescendingly handing olive branches to other small officials, Shen couldn't bear it, so he thought about studying for only two or three days, he paid attention to avoiding suspicion, and it would be better to let go of the old friend's thoughts.

It just so happened that Song Zhili pointed him the wrong way, and it should have been unintentional with him...

"It's an honor for the younger generation to be able to revise books for the old master." Shen said that he was honest and frank, so that no one could tell the difference.

"Excuse me." Song Feng'an had been pondering in the court for many years, so he could see Shen Shi's attitude.Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, opportunities are created, and the rest depends on fate.

Song Feng'an stopped talking about this, and picked up the previous conversation with Shen Shi: "Shen Shaoqing has never heard a sentence, since Sheng Yu and He Sheng Liang."

Shen chuckled to himself. Song Feng'an was used to being a gentleman, and when he opened his mouth, he had to test people first: "Master Ge refers to Fu Shangshu and General Xiao? One is good at controlling plagiarism and fierce Tatars, the other is good at suppressing treacherous and dangerous pirates, and the other They all have their strengths, Yu Liang is better to say that they are Da Qi's right-hand man, Fu Shangshu's military department makes internal arrangements, and General Xiao is stationed at the border to fight against the outside world, and they complement each other."

Song Feng'an nodded and asked: "General Xiao came from a family, and he has the meritorious service of constant victories. Why did the position of minister of the Ministry of War fall to Fu Zhenzhong, who was born in the army?"

Shen Shi cupped his hands: "The junior is bold."

"Gossip is commonplace, Shen Shaoqing doesn't have to stick to it."

"General Xiao holds a military amulet in his hand. The eldest daughter is a noble concubine and gave birth to a prince, while the second daughter is married to the son of the Minister of the Household. After careful calculation, he has wealth, soldiers, power, and prestige. If he wins the position of Minister of the Ministry of War..." Shen He paused: "The younger generation thinks that Fu Shangshu is brave and good at fighting, that he deserves his name and is as solid as gold, so he doesn't understand today's dispute."

Song Feng'an didn't answer, but picked up a cup of tea, swirled the cup, and took a sip.

When word like this got out, the city was full of storms again.

Shen Shaoqing really trusted him.

Trust from unknown sources can also make people suspicious.

Song Fengan drank a cup of tea very slowly, so slowly that he strung together Shen Shi's unusual deeds, handwriting, tone of voice, water control map, Lu'an melon slices, and the look in the court hall looking at Lord Hou.

Song Feng'an stared at the sinking thing carefully, and said something to laugh at, and it wasn't Pu Songling's Tales from a Strange Studio.

When the old butler was refilling tea, he called softly: "Ge Lao?"

Song Feng'an came back to his senses, and said calmly: "You are right, but no one is perfect, no gold is enough, no matter how smart people are, they have knots."

"Appreciate further details."

"A teacher must be famous, and only by merit can he be rewarded." Song Feng'an said in a dull tone, but he said a little-known inside story: "After the sudden death of the great Sima, the Ministry of War has no owner. The Japanese pirates in the south and the Tatars in the north all want to take advantage of it. Entering in vain, General Xiao was ordered to guard the Luojiang River, and Fu Shangshu asked for peace in Changping."

"At that time, the country was empty and supplies were insufficient. Liu Yuanxuan was in charge of the household department, so he was naturally inclined. Fu Shangshu was weak and hungry, but he broke out of the siege from this desperate situation, made great contributions, and was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of War from then on."

"However, the next day, there was news of Luojiang's victory."

Song Fengan looked at Shen Shi.

Shen Shi said clearly: "Fatality tricks people, and the Luojiang River has many waterways. Even if you go fast, it will be at least two days later than Changping. In terms of this reason, the position of Shangshu should belong to General Xiao."

"Exactly." Song Feng'an said: "Although the imperial decree has been issued, I can't help discussing it in private. All civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty think that Fu Shangshu is not worthy of the name and has taken General Xiao's seat."

Shen took a sip of tea with emotion, and the temperature was already a little cold. He said: "The most feared thing about killing people is not gossip, but the truth. The more honest and courageous a person is, the easier it is to fall into a rut."

"Fu Shangshu spent his entire life as a soldier, enjoying honors that did not belong to him against his conscience. It is very painful to think about it. I can't complain about being so tough at the court. I'm afraid that in the future, General Xiao's name of protecting Xingxiu and pacifying the Japanese pirates will turn up the guilt again. Chen case..."

So I wanted to step in and share the credit.

Shen Shi suddenly looked at Song Feng'an meaningfully. Is this really a coincidence?

The difference of one day not only repaid General Xiao's prestige, but also prevented him from moving to the important position of Minister of the Ministry of War.Moreover, if the result of the battle is released today, it will be awarded immediately, and the official document from the Ministry of Rites must have been issued too quickly...

And if it wasn't for a coincidence, it is obvious that the military report can be lost directly, and people can make up a new military report without anyone noticing, so why bother with mere military achievements, anyway, they can't be promoted.

A person who would do such useless work.

Seeing that he was deep in thought, Song Fengan smiled and said, "Why is Shen Shaoqing still confused?"

"Nothing." Shen Shi got up and cupped his hands, "I just want to understand the righteousness of the boss."

Song Feng'an is alert, this person is smart, maybe he won't think too much...

Shen Shi said: "Elder Ge knew that Fu Shangshu would not let it go, but he confronted him resolutely, not to ridicule him and provoke him, but because he didn't want the monarch and his ministers to fight against each other and create a rift between each other."

Therefore, I would rather bear the infamy of civil and military disputes than make enemies behind my back.

Shen bowed respectfully, bent his waist parallel to the ground and said: "Your junior admires you."

Song Feng'an knocked on the case twice, this matter is so clear that it still needs to be thought about, but seeing that he kept silent about this matter, he went along with it and said: "Shen Shaoqing is not too panicky."

Seeing him knocking his fingers, the old housekeeper took two boxes of Liu'an melon slices. Song Feng'an said: "In those years, you entrusted Lord Hou to send a letter and solved the siege of the water control map. I haven't thanked you yet."

"How does Mr. Ge know..." Shen Shi raised his eyes to look at him.

Liu Changze acted properly, how could people know that this matter will be caught by the Liu family...

"Don't be nervous, I'm just curious about you being proficient in water conservancy, but pretending to be stupid."

It is Yunfu.

Shen has come to his senses, this matter must have been said by Li Yunfu and Song Feng'an, they are blatantly deceiving the emperor, how to explain it will not be suspected...

He pretended to be ashamed and said: "To be honest, I just returned to Beijing from Chongming at that time, so I really don't want to go to a remote place."

Putting yourself down is always the best way!

Song Feng'an didn't expect this reason, and frowned and said: "Heaven will send a great mission to the people, and you must first work hard on your heart and muscles... You are still young, how can you only care about the comfort in front of you."

After the long speech, Shen Shi bowed his head and said yes.

Song Feng'an also softened: "However, when everyone is tired and lazy, you went to that bitter cold place without staying in Beijing for a few days in ten years of cold window, and returned to Beijing after all kinds of hardships, so you don't want to leave. "

"It's already rare if you dare to admit it, and it's even better if you can do it diligently."

"I would like to follow the elder's teaching." However, Shen wanted to close his ears, and Song Feng'an's preaching was suffocating.

Song Feng'an looked at him as if he was admiring a piece of rough jade, which needs to be polished, but it does not lose its brilliance.

Shen Shi took Lu'an Guapian and said he had bothered him for a long time, so he resigned.

The old housekeeper cleared away the cups and asked: "Ge Lao has always liked Li Yushi the most, and wants to find a relative for Miss, why not wait for Yushi to come back?"

Song Feng'an sighed, "Time waits for no one, the Holy One intends to give the ceremony to Master Liu..."

The old housekeeper was startled, and the bell rang when the cup was touched.

"Master Hou... Master Hou..." Broken sleeve?

Song Fengan rubbed his temples.

……

A Liang sent someone to bring a box of bright yellow loquats. He picked up the stalks with a silver needle, gently peeled off the thin skin, and put them into a transparent crystal ice bowl with a few small picking sticks inserted on it. Handed it to Liu Changze.

Liu Changze ate one with his eyes half closed, and he spat out the brown core with a dull expression: "It's not sweet."

A Liang lowered his head, and said hesitantly: "Master Hou is already the third box, if you throw it away, it will be gone..."

"Fang Kai's spring... Changqing Pavilion has the ability to reach the sky, and... can't find so many out-of-season fruits..."

Liu Changze seemed impatient, "Pick up some overripe ones and boil them."

Boil?Do you care if it is sweet or not?

A Liang asked in a daze, "Don't Master Hou eat it directly?"

Liu Changze frowned: "I'm not sick, why eat it?"

Ah Liang is a bit confused, he needs to sort it out, the entire Changqing Pavilion is going bankrupt because of Lord Hou's appetite, whoever plants a loquat tree and bears a fruit, it is calculated on the basis of a hundred taels... …

As a result, Lord Hou said that he was not sick and he would not eat.

Who is sick?

Liu Changze said, "Why are you still here?"

Ah Liang was stunned, I don't know why I'm still here...then where should I go?

Loquat...

What disease does loquat cure?

He tentatively asked: "Master Hou, should you send it directly to Shen's residence?"

Liu Changze's face darkened instantly.

"What to give, just dump it!"

A Liang trembled at the tone: "Yes! I'm going!"

He hurriedly urged his servants to move to the kitchen, he sneaked to the imperial hospital, grabbed the imperial doctor Kong and asked: "Head of the hospital... What is the loquat treatment?"

Doctor Kong dropped his book bag and said, "Loquat is thick and hairy, oblong in shape, also known as Jinwan..."

Ah Liang was anxious, shaking his shoulders: "Speak the key point! The key point! How to treat it! How to eat it!"

Imperial Physician Kong patted his neckline: "Why did you follow Master Hou? You are not stable anymore. You have been by Taifu's side for quite a few years..."

"It's a life-saving emergency! Headmaster, tell me quickly!"

Doctor Kong turned his mouth to the sky, and said slowly: "Loquat, boiled together with Chuanbei, can cure cough caused by wind-heat invading the lungs, eliminate phlegm and blood stasis... Hey, I didn't finish, how can people Just leave! There is no courtesy at all!"

In March, it was a cold spring day, and it was so cold that Ah Liang was sweating all over his body. He rushed to the Shen's mansion every day, and he had to be reminded. , this is not loquat, this is an ordinary cough medicine.

As for the loquats, they have all been dumped.

A Liang was moved by his kindness.

He hurriedly walked towards Master Hou, and suddenly received a message, his face turned green.

He ran to the bedroom and looked through the calendar. Today is a very fierce day.

He began to miss the peaceful days when Taifu Shen was here.

A Liang resigned to his fate and rushed to the study. Liu Changze was correcting the shortcomings of the New Deal, but he couldn't open his mouth after thinking about it for a long time.

Liu Changze had already seen Ah Liang's awkwardness, as if he was hiding a hundred grasshoppers on his body. After he finished writing the last word, he threw the pen into the brush sink, and said calmly, "What's the matter."

Ah Liang took a breath, and said half-deadly: "Master Hou..."

Liu Changze felt that A Liang could be sent to Shen's residence now, he was useless.

"Master Hou, Shen Shaoqing went to Song Ge's old mansion today..."

Liu Changze wanted to tell him not to mention this person, but he remembered the man with red eyes leaning against a tree and coughing in the morning.

Forget it, it's okay to listen to it.

A Liang continued: "I heard... the old daughter of Song Ge has fallen in love with... Shen... Lord Shen..."
