Are you stupid?

In the past, the King of Jiayu County wanted to achieve "big things", so it was unrealistic to let a caravan pass through the country on his own. The benefits in their own hands are distributed.Therefore, he is not the only owner of the so-called "grain caravan" in the hands of the Jiayu County King. People from all over the world are involved, but the Jiayu County King has the reputation of "master".

If the king of Jiayu County can achieve great things in the future, these aristocratic families are equivalent to helping the king of Jiayu County in the process of accumulating wealth; The people of Jiayu County King don't need to die with Jiayu County King.

Who doesn't want to do something that benefits for nothing.

Therefore, the relationship between the aristocratic families in Dazhou and the Jiayu County King is not clear.

Being both right and left is also the reason why the aristocratic family can stand still—after all, even Wang Hua himself accepted the favor of Jiayu County King when he felt the need, but Wang Hua really didn't expect the Wang family to decline to this point. However, the clansmen actually fought for such a small amount of money sent by the King of Jiayu to the point where they were caught.

Wang Hua's old wife thought of the clansman who blocked her door and begged Wang Hua to enter the palace to intercede, so she turned to look at Wang Hua with a headache, "Don't enter the palace."

Wang Hua pushed the tea foam away, "Since they are looking for death, it doesn't matter if I enter the palace or not. Do they really think that my old face is worth a lot in front of His Majesty?"

"You really don't care at all, I'm afraid the tribe will resent you."

Wang Hua shook his head under the worried eyes of his old wife, "I don't care if they only resent me and their own incompetence, if I enter the palace and cannot change the result, then they will not only resent me, but also resent His Majesty——Jiayu It is impossible to become a county king, and if I really enter the palace, it is equivalent to forcing the whole family to follow the Jiayu county king to die. That's it."

The old wife and Wang Hua sighed helplessly.

The three-year mourning period is coming to an end, Wang Hua believes that since Yuan Hedi is young and vigorous, since he made a move, it must be a thunderbolt.If the Wang family was captured first, they would definitely lose a lot of their population.

But Emperor Yuanhe caught the handle of the Wang family, and after the verdict came out, he graciously spared the punishment of being hit directly on the body, and only executed the sentence of exile.

The Wang family had made an agreement with Emperor Yuanhe when Wang Hua entered the palace, and when the children of the Wang family were arrested in an accident and were arrested, the punishment was determined to be exile, and enough money would be given to the accompanying government servants to avoid suffering. After that, he just put his mind at ease, and turned his head to deal with the petty officials on the way to exile, so as to save the children in the family from suffering.

At first, Wang Hua didn't understand why Emperor Yuanhe lifted it up and put it down gently, but after Emperor Yuanhe put the children of the second and third families in prison, Wang Hua finally understood what Emperor Yuanhe did. reason.

——The punishment is not heavy, and the courtiers in the court will not be ready for battle, and they all feel that the future is promising.

Yuan Hedi was indeed not targeting a certain family, his purpose was to eradicate all the families that were not in his hands.

Wang Hua, who originally planned to come back for the elderly, completely withdraw from the court, and stay away from the disturbance, finally sighed and said to his old wife in the fifth month after returning to Beijing, "Find out my official residence. I will enter the palace tomorrow."

The old wife said anxiously: "Didn't you say that Yuan Hedi is not murderous? Are you mistaken?"

Wang Hua shook his head with a smile and comforted his old wife, "No, I'm not mistaken. Your Majesty will be appointed as Mingjun in the future, but Mingjun may not be able to accommodate powerful officials. I enter the palace today for His Majesty's use, and His Majesty will still look after me in the future." Save face for the Wang family."

"Will His Majesty make things difficult for you?"

When Yuan Hedi first recruited Wang Hua, Wang Hua went home to "recover his illness". Now that he saw Yuan Hedi's real purpose, he went to him again. Yuan Hedi could really accommodate Wang Hua without any grudges. , instead of thinking that Wang Hua came here to benefit his family, or in other words, won't Emperor Yuanhe remember Wang Hua's previous refusal, so can he be treated coldly?

"Don't be afraid, if His Majesty is that kind of person, the classics will not follow His Majesty. He is the most slippery person. Didn't you pretend to hide for many years before reading the classics?"

On the second day, Wang Hua sold his vacation and entered the palace. After seeing Wang Hua, Shenlong didn't say anything. He smiled and asked Shen Yu to learn from Wang Hua.

Moreover, the liquidation of the children of the aristocratic family did not end there.

This liquidation lasted until the end of the year, and Emperor Yuanhe seemed to be heartbroken over the slightest problem with the children of the family, saying "how can the family decline so far" and then exiled everyone to the frontier where people are most needed to work go.

The aristocratic family took it for granted that Emperor Yuanhe couldn't ask anyone to help him, so he found an excuse to borrow someone from the aristocratic family, and even when sending his children to serve their sentences, they repeatedly told the rebellious younger generations in the family that it was a good idea to enter the court. Opportunity is unimaginable. Yuanhe Emperor has long explained to the officials who are willing to take root in the frontier that all he sends is cheap labor that can write and count. Let them use it casually, and treat them like criminals. .

——Shenlong lacks talents under his command, but he is no longer afraid of killing people.

Shenlong has gradually understood that the reason for not killing people is because the person is still alive and there are forces behind him, leaving the life of the criminal is for the sake of kindness, and if killing the other party can be done, killing the other party when the other party commits a crime can calm public grievances reason.

Wang Hua had heard about Shen Yu's reputation early in the morning, and found that Shen Yu was indeed smart, witty, and gentle, and he couldn't help but think of the rumors about Shen Yu's "identity" in Beijing.

The Wang family is a big family, and there is no shortage of young and beautiful women. Wang Hua couldn't help cherishing her talent, and privately tested Shen Yu, "The servant has such talent, why didn't he get married as soon as possible?"

Shen Yu smiled at himself when he thought of his mother who was looking forward to his glorious lintel and Emperor Yuanhe who used him and restrained himself in the court.

His Majesty has seen through his small thoughts, although he is still being used, but he is indeed no longer His Majesty's confidant.

Today's "Fifth Grade Servant" may be the highest official position he can reach in his life.

A petty official of the fifth grade, in the capital, three or five tiles would be smashed. What face would he use to trick people outside who don't know the inside story into marrying his pampered and raised daughter.

Is it really because His Majesty is watching that you dare not get married?

If the kings of the past dynasties fell in love with a man, they would always choose a high-class woman to match him, for fear that he would not be able to protect him after death. Could it be that the king is so decisive in government affairs today, but why he is so harsh on his beloved?Yuan Hedi is not like this kind of person.

Wang Hua thought about it for a while, and felt that the next generation of the Wang family had no one who could be mentioned, and he was still reluctant to part with a ready-made young talent like Shen Yu, "It is said among the people that a family and a career are established, and servants already have a career, so why not marry a woman from the family?" Take care of family affairs for yourself. Once you have a wife, you can be filial to your parents, and you can take care of your younger siblings, raise your children, and pass on your talents and learning."

"It's hard to find a well-educated woman. Even if there is such a woman, they are all treasures in the palm of their parents. I'm afraid I can't match them well." Shen Yu actually wanted to get married. Wang Hua repeatedly talked about marriage, and he finally couldn't help but speak. .

It seems that things have a door!

Wang Huacai was not one of those people who put their face above the sky, so he immediately asked, "I have a great-granddaughter in my family, who will be filial to your majesty next year. She was kept by my side since she was a child. She is knowledgeable, virtuous and gentle, and has never betrothed anyone else. Why don't you go down to the Yamen tonight, and you go back with the old man to have a few drinks and meet her."

"This, is this not very good?" Shen Yu was hit by a pie falling from the sky, and she was stunned.

Which of the good women in the capital is not waiting to be a concubine for His Majesty, why did Wang Hua leave His Majesty and just him?

Wang Hua clapped her hands and smiled, "To tell you the truth, my granddaughter has been with me in the frontier since I was a child. Although she has a virtuous and gentle temperament, she is really not a person who can relax. She is very impatient with the intrigues in the family. It's fine for you to let her sit all day long to settle accounts for the sake of revitalizing the family business, but if you let her drink tea and gossip with a cousin who doesn't know whose house is three thousand miles away, she will never sit still. When I was young, I thought that a man should The whole world is home, and the children are not brought up by their side. It is only half a year old that I think of enjoying the family happiness. After personally taking care of my great-granddaughter, I know that she is impatient with the cumbersome interpersonal relationships in the high school, so I am willing to eat her. This suffering. The old Shen family knows well that your crisis is not a trouble to her, and she is the right candidate for you. If the two of you can see each other well, it will be a match made in heaven."

Everything is fine, but I don’t know what’s on His Majesty’s end…

Wang Hua thought about it for a while, and found that Shen Yu had lowered his head excitedly and shyly, and he probably agreed by looking at his expression.

Wang Hua continued to say unhurriedly, "If you both think it's a good marriage, tell Your Majesty, wouldn't it be nice to let Your Majesty be the guest of honor?"

Shen Yu didn't realize at all that this sentence was Wang Hua's test of how far the relationship between him and Yuan and Di had reached. His favor should not be rejected, and his expression became more and more relaxed.

Wang Hua immediately knew that not only was the marriage with Shen Yu completed, but also that the relationship between Shen Yu and His Majesty was not the kind of strong relationship of each other.

Both Wang Hua and Shen Yu are smart people, and they like to leave half of what they say to guesswork. Therefore, this time, they have committed the problem of being clever and being misled by cleverness.When the Shen and Wang families exchanged Geng posts and invited Shenlong to be a guest, Shenlong smiled warmly on his face, praised Shen Yu and Miss Wang's manly talent and beauty, and a match made in heaven, and wrote directly to Mu Huaiyuan in private to complain about Shen Yu's careful thinking Wave after wave, too disappointing.

When Shen Yu made a mistake at the beginning, Shenlong did not talk to him in private to try to ease the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, but no matter what Shen Yu promised at the time, in the end Shen Yu still admired the noble family from the bottom of his heart, and it was very easy to show in front of them The groveling side.

——It is not the admiration for talents and abilities, but simply admiration for the prosperity of the aristocratic family, which makes Shenlong more and more resistant to Shen Yu.

After Mu Huaiyuan received the letter, he read it from front to back, lowered his eyes and smiled, and asked Fan Bai next to him, "When will the Jiahe planted this year be harvested?"

Fan Bai didn't understand and asked back, "Isn't the county magistrate planning to send rice to Beijing as a gift this year?"

"You don't understand." The smile in Mu Huaiyuan's eyes grew stronger.

Compared with curios and antiques, what Shenlong really cares about is rice grains that can fill the stomachs of the common people.
