During the imperial wine ceremony, Tao Dalin buried his head and used Shen Shixing to block the emperor's figure, for fear of being seen by the emperor.
My heart screamed torture.
During this autumn lecture, the emperor always did not attend class well and asked some sensitive questions.
This class is about "Mencius", which talks about "There are three types of unfilial piety, and the greatest is not having offspring."
It is very simple in itself, and there is no room for debate. On the contrary, it has more political significance.
Nowadays, the content and progress of the lectures are arranged by the daily lecturer, and the specific review and interpretation are personally reviewed by the two cabinet ministers.
Today's session was arranged by Chen Dong, the young minister of Dali Temple, and Wen Chun, the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is paving the way for the emperor to take charge of the government and to pave the way for etiquette.
It is great to have no heirs.
The emperor is twelve years old, which is an age for marriage.
If you want to choose a concubine, you should plan it more than a year in advance. If you are to get married at the age of fourteen, then you should issue a decree and start preparations at the beginning of the new year.
If you are eager to take charge, then the granddaughter of Li Chunfang in the palace is not impossible.
As for the ancestral law, not to marry the daughter of a scholar-official...
The meaning of Chen Dong and Wen Chun was very clear. Shun Shang could hide his parents in order to stay as an heir, so it is completely reasonable for His Majesty to make some contingency changes in order to stay as an heir.
This is what Zhang Juzheng just mentioned as "the power of etiquette".
This was a political statement limited to the emperor's close officials and officials.
After Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant, saw Chen Dong and Wen Chun's arrangement of classes, he didn't raise any objections and just went along with the flow and took over the classes.
He also looked supportive.
Logically speaking, if the emperor and his ministers are so harmonious, and the emperor understands it, he should be moved, reward him with something to show his attitude, and then go back and think carefully about when the wedding will be.
As a result, the little emperor did not follow the routine and turned to an extremely sensitive topic - did the Ming Dynasty rule the world with filial piety?
Tao Dalin scratched the back of his hand and felt a little itchy all over his body.
Otherwise, the emperor's question can only be answered by the elder Ge.
How dare they say one more word to the emperor about this kind of matter that involves the foundation of Confucianism and the origin of the country?
If you say the wrong thing, you will be ruined.
Zhu Yijun's eyes swept across the banquet officials.
Take into account the different expressions of everyone.
Finally it fell on Zhang Juzheng, who looked embarrassed.
Zhu Yijun naturally knew why Zhang Juzheng was in such trouble, otherwise he would not have asked so straightforwardly.
This statement may sound insensitive.
After all, this is political correctness that has existed for thousands of years.
Since the Han Dynasty, all dynasties have flaunted themselves in this way.
Talking about the Three Kingdoms from afar, Bao Xun once said, "Mingben established the religion and governed the world with filial piety."
Later in the Sui Dynasty, the emperor even said: "I want to govern the world with filial piety, but I am afraid that Taoism will ruin it, so I established the Five Religions to promote it."
In the old Tang Dynasty book, Li Bo's statement also read, "Your Majesty, I will govern the world with filial piety, and I will be a little gracious to you."
Not to mention the Song and Yuan Dynasties, before the Yi Jian, Liu Anshi, Li Bingchang, and Cui Jingchuan wrote in black and white, "Your Majesty rules the world with filial piety."
Even in this dynasty, this statement is very common.
When the two palaces were given emblems, the words of the Ministry of Rites were still "The Emperor governs the world with filial piety, and the emblem of the Holy Mother is here."
For the orthodox dynasty, this itself is a sacred golden garment worn on the body.
Only when the Sima family sees these words will the program be fully effective.
Otherwise, why would Zhu Yijun be called the father of the king all day long?
But precisely because this issue is very important and involves the source of the legitimacy of the imperial dynasty, it has always been forbidden to discuss it.
The most sensitive part is, in the Confucian system, when did the emperor occupy the ecological niche of the pinnacle of "filial piety"?
That is since the Great Unification! This is an evolution of orthodox Confucianism!
Before the great unification, Confucianism was still very pure.
Mencius once told King Xuan of Qi: If a king treats his ministers like dirt, then his ministers will regard him as a bandit.
Confucius also said that the king should treat his ministers with courtesy, and the ministers should be loyal to the king.
If you are good to me, I will be good to you.
If you are not good, then don't blame me for killing Dufu - this is what Zhu Yijun said after passing the exam and inviting people to watch the ceremony.
However, since the Han Dynasty, this acquired two-way obligation has gradually evolved into a natural one-way obligation.
The so-called thunder, rain, and dew are all gifts from God.
This concept of a minister's absolute loyalty to the monarch does not exist in Confucianism.
Fortunately, there are great Confucian scholars who debate the classics.
Confucianism doesn’t have it, but Legalism does.
The Six Classics annotated me, which is essential for the study of Confucian classics - so Dong Zhongshu sewed this Legalist approach into Confucianism.
Under the Confucian philosophy, it is called transferring filial piety and making loyalty.
In the concept of Confucianism, it is called external Confucianism and internal law.
In the framework of governing the country, it is called the isomorphism of the family and the state.
A filial son must produce loyal ministers.
The title is a posthumous recognition of power and at the same time further strengthens its legitimacy, especially the word "king and father".
The purpose of stitched Confucianism is mainly to explain the source of the legitimacy of the emperor's command of the world, not to engage in philosophical speculation.
Naturally, there is no room for discussion on this matter.
If we delve deeper into this issue, are we questioning the imperial power?
The court officials at most used phrases and never discussed the meaning of scriptures in this area.
So after the emperor asked this question, He Luowen looked up at the beams, Tao Dalin huddled behind Shen Shixing, and Ma Ziqiang looked left and right.
Zhang Juzheng, who faced this problem head-on, looked even more uncertain.
Mr. Zhang, the first assistant, I really want to say something now, son, for your own good, stop asking, stop asking.
But I had to answer.
Zhang Juzheng weighed his words very carefully.
After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, the country, the dynasty, and the people, are endless. They start with the family and extend from the body, so all the people are close to each other."
"Your Majesty is the king and father of the country. He respects the royal family at home, helps the people externally, hangs down his clothes and governs the house, and is kind to the grass and trees."
"Now we are in harmony with each other, and we have no grudges on all sides. We are sincere in the affairs of the country, and it is also a family tradition."
"Your Majesty, our dynasty governs the world with filial piety."
Your Majesty, everyone in the world will call you king and father. Everyone you care about is a son. The emperor's favor and father's love are for everyone. Of course, you govern the world with filial piety.
Zhang Juzheng was very cautious when he spoke, and stopped at the point.
Zhu Yijun suddenly said: "No wonder the king calls him the king's father..."
Seeing this, Zhang Juzheng knew that the little emperor was going to talk about tigers and wolves again.
Obviously he came prepared.
He had no choice but to concentrate on it and take it seriously - it was enough for him to just stand behind him. No one knew which lesson the little emperor would post in the new newspaper.
Zhang Juzheng could guess the emperor's purpose. After all, it was to send Wang Shizhen to the capital, to pass the imperial examination, and to invite the great Confucians to observe the ceremony.
It's really obvious.
When he and Gao Gong first entered the cabinet, they did the same thing.
At that time, Xu Jie, Li Chunfang, and Zhao Zhenji respected the Yangming School and used their power to spread it everywhere.
He even gave lectures in person, summoned the court, and local officials came to listen to the lectures, and recruited disciples.
The so-called "empty words to understand one's mind and nature, cultivate oneself and govern others to know practical learning", "ignore the poverty all over the world, and talk about dangerous and subtle theories all day long" - ignore the poverty and poverty of the people all over the world, but indulge in it all day long
Suitable for discussing those doctrines that are subtle and profound but of little help in solving practical problems.
Although Gao Gong and he regarded themselves as Confucian ministers and still followed the teachings of Confucius and Mencius in words, they actually respected Legalism.
Subsequently, the two of them absorbed, screened and eliminated the essence of Confucianism and Legalism, and established a set of theories of change.
Gao Gong, in particular, was very energetic and produced a huge amount of works, such as "Spring and Autumn Zhengzhi", "Questions and Bian Lu", "Rijin Zhisuo", and "Benyu".
Zuo hit Cheng Zhu and exposed his misinterpretation of "Spring and Autumn", "It is not necessary to analyze the truth, but to explore and explore, so it is inevitable to force ignorance to know."
He kicked Yangming to the right and scorned him as empty and without foundation, saying, "He is just a castle in the sky, but he has nothing in his body and mind."
Then, we use history to discuss matters, connect with political reality issues, and accumulated current shortcomings, and then explore solutions. Finally, we come to the conclusion of reforming the old and making new ones - "the law changes with the times" and "the law is updated to adapt to the times."
This purge of academic style corrected the atmosphere in the court through the writing of books and expositions.
Then the cabinet meeting was used to criticize Xu Jie, Li Chunfang, and Zhao Zhenji as a symbol to bring order to the chaos.
Finally, through the form of the late emperor's edict and approval, officials at all levels were strictly ordered to prohibit officials from hosting or participating in lectures, thus establishing a victory.
This is the basis on which the new party is built.
The new party established by Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong was very familiar with the emperor's current actions.
This time, after passing the academic examinations and answering questions at the Sutra Banquet, Wang Shizhen will probably have a copy of "Jing Yan Lu" in his hands.
His purpose was completely hidden in front of him.
But Mr. Shoufu could only see the means, but did not know which play the emperor was going to sing. He was really afraid that the emperor would not understand the importance and go too far - he did not want to challenge the matter of external Confucianism and internal law.
Unfortunately, Zhu Yijun didn't think so.
He looked straight at Zhang Juzheng and continued to ask: "Sir, since the king is the father of the king, why should he change the dynasty?"
There are no bad parents in the world.
Since he is a king's father, he has never heard that a son can become his own father by killing his father.
Therefore, after a change of dynasty, why can the later dynasty be recognized?
If it's because of being immoral, then can the father be killed because he is immoral?
That doesn't make sense, sir.
In fact, this statement is not difficult to answer in itself, but it is difficult for Zhang Juzheng, who is a Confucian scholar and a legal scholar.
Because within the framework of Confucianism, this goes back to the destiny of heaven.
Under the king and father, no one can restrain him, but if the destiny above him is intentional, it is normal to change the king and father.
The emperor, who was at the pinnacle of filial piety, had only one destiny that Zhang Juzheng was unwilling to talk about.
The meaning of the emperor's expression immediately became clear in Zhang Juzheng's mind - as heaven and man felt depressed and changed their filial piety and loyalty, there were more and more things that could not be explained clearly. The outdated things should be replaced.
Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth and closed it again.
Zhu Yijun looked at his husband quietly, waiting for Zhang Juzheng's answer.
Transferring filial piety to loyalty was naturally more progressive in the early Han Dynasty.
Unfortunately, by the Wei and Jin Dynasties, this system was full of cracks.
Nowadays, or in other words, after the birth of Yangming’s Psychology, this system has been completely deconstructed.
What do today's scholar-bureaucrats pay attention to?
It’s the freedom to see one’s true nature clearly!
It’s the true nature of doing whatever you want!
What kind of father-in-law? You did this, this is bullshit!
The trend in Shilin is like this. The younger you are, the less likely you are to follow this trend.
Not only was there no emperor or father in their eyes, but sometimes it even had a counterproductive effect - the Taizhou School was very interested in deconstructing the source of the emperor's power.
Why is Zhu Yijun recognized by most courtiers now?
Is it because he is a king's father? If so, then the predecessor would not have been suppressed for ten years, but failed to be supported by loyal and filial sons to rule personally.
Therefore, it is not that Zhu Yijun wants to give up his filial piety and loyalty.
It's something that has been abandoned by the times and there is no need to stick it on your face.
On the contrary, it will only delay the emergence of new things.
If the gap between reality and theory is too large, it will further undermine the legitimacy of the dynasty.
In this case, it must be neither destroyed nor established.
Whether it is the legendary story in today's Xinbao, Emperor Taizu worked hard to control the chaos and transformed the barbarians with Xia.
It is also the classical attainments that Zhu Yijun strives to express in Jingyan.
Or maybe the national treasury is gradually filling up and the official administration is becoming increasingly clear.
They are all paving the way for the replacement of old scriptures and principles to avoid too much turmoil in the future.
After having laid the groundwork with Li Zhi for so long, the date for Wang Shizhen's literary meeting has already been set.
The great event of debating scriptures is about to happen, so naturally we must first unify our thoughts internally.
Zhu Yijun placed the invisible elephant in the room at the Sutra Banquet today, just to consult the chief minister's attitude and test the thoughts of the Sutra Banquet Officer.
There was silence in Wenhua Hall.
Zhang Juzheng hesitated for a long time, and then said in a dry tone: "Your Majesty, please allow me to think about it for a while, and I will discuss it with Your Majesty at the next banquet."
The little emperor was too radical, and the first assistant was hesitant for a while - after all, he was not a crazy person like Li Zhi.
Zhu Yijun was not in a hurry.
He looked at Zhang Juzheng and said warmly: "Mr. Hard-working, let's go here first for today's feast."
Zhang Juzheng was speechless for a moment and quickly bowed to salute.
The banquet officials below also followed suit and saluted.
Zhu Yijun returned the favor.
After some etiquette, today’s sutra feast finally came to an end.
Tao Dalin felt as if he had been granted amnesty. After bowing and getting up, he left the Wenhua Hall first.
Ma Ziqiang, He Luowen and others have already followed closely behind.
After the banquet officials resigned one after another, only Zhang Juzheng and Shen Shixing were left in the hall.
There was no one else in the palace, but there were still troublesome things outside the palace.
This is why some people stay.
Shen Shixing immediately took the initiative to plead guilty: "Your Majesty, I am guilty..."
Zhu Yijun raised his hand to interrupt Shen Shixing.
He did not give Shen Shixing a chance to speak, but looked at Zhang Juzheng: "Sir, please go back to the cabinet first."
Zhang Juzheng and Shen Shixing stayed in the palace, naturally because of the matter of guarding the palace outside the palace.
Facing the emperor's leisurely appearance, Zhang Juzheng followed suit and apologized: "Your Majesty, this matter is due to my negligence."
Zhu Yijun interrupted Zhang Juzheng again: "Sir, we are busy with state affairs, so don't waste your mind on such things."
"It's just a gentle breeze and drizzle."
He paused and said seriously: "Sir, you have devoted your whole life to the affairs of the country. Just let me handle this little matter."
Zhang Juzheng looked slightly moved.
I don't know what came to mind.
Zhang Juzheng pinched a medicine bag in his sleeve and was silent for a moment.
Finally, it turned into a bow: "I obey your decree."
Zhu Yijun nodded and asked Jiang Keqian to send Zhang Juzheng back to the cabinet.
When Zhang Juzheng's back disappeared, Zhu Yijun turned back and looked at Shen Shixing.
Shen Shixing bowed down again.
There was no one around, and Zhu Yijun seemed to finally no longer hide his emotions.
He stood up and looked at Shen Shixing.
He raised his finger and pointed at Shen Shixing and counted several times, saying "You...I..." repeatedly, and then it turned into sighs.
Faced with the emperor's angry look, Shen Shixing, a genius who had had a smooth journey, felt a rare feeling of confusion.
There was cold sweat on his forehead, and even the middle coat on his back was slightly damp with sweat.
The emperor hesitated to speak again and again, like a hammer, tortured Shen Shixing's heart, pounding.
It seemed like a long time passed.
Shen Shixing finally heard a complete sentence from the emperor.
"Why didn't you come to me first before you demoted Xiong Dunpu?"
The Confucian scholar of the Song Dynasty exposed his colleague Xiong Dunpu and criticized Cheng Yu for not destroying the harem and making arrogant comments on the political affairs. Shen Shixing did not even tell himself about this kind of thing and acted arbitrarily and was relegated!
If Zhu Yijun had known about this earlier, Shen Shixing and Zhang Juzheng would not have been tricked!
Zhang Juzheng suffered this loss in history. If Zhu Yijun saw his name, he would definitely think of this!
Xiong Dunpu has a bad temper, and I heard he is quite straightforward and irritable.
As Sichuanese, it is easy to offend colleagues with their bad mouth.
Therefore, he and Song Ru had long been enemies.
Last year, all the common people were caught in the rain when they were out. They took shelter from the rain and went to their houses, but the guards refused to accept them.
A group of common people then beat up the guards and broke in through the door.
Afterwards, the guard reported it to Yang Bo. After hearing this, Yang Bo was very angry and went to the Hanlin Academy to question.
As a result, Song Confucian officials imprisoned Xiong Dunpu on the spot. A group of common people were afraid of taking responsibility, so they agreed to identify Xiong Dunpu under the instigation of Zhao Yongxian and Wu Zhongxing.
Xiong Dunpu suffered a loss, and the relationship between the two naturally worsened.
When an honest person is angry, he beats and insults others.
Song Confucianism was different.
He secretly recorded Xiong Dunpu's words and deeds in the Hanlin Academy every day. Whenever he mentioned senior officials and had any foul language in his words, he secretly told all the court officials.
If not, then make it up.
Anyway, they just discredit Xiong Dunpu every day.
Historically, Song Confucianism went to Zhang Juzheng and said, Yuan Fu, Xiong Dunpu wrote a memorial in private to attack the New Deal, please take care of it!
The complaint was filed during the day, the memorial to impeach Xiong Dunpu was entered into the palace at night, and the man was demoted directly the next day.
Precisely because he knew this, Zhu Yijun had a clear understanding of the rights and wrongs between the two.
If I had known it earlier, I would have been able to handle it properly.
Who would have thought that Shen Shixing had hidden this from him, leading to the Fuku incident?
It was not until the incident became a big deal and people began to impeach Shen Shixing that Zhu Yijun learned the whole story from Shen Shixing.
It was said that when Shen Shixing went out for a dinner, he encountered a fight between the common people.
Confucian scholars of the Song Dynasty exposed Xiong Dunpu, a fellow scholar, and criticized Cheng Yu for not destroying the harem but discussing the political affairs.
This is not bad!
Shen Shixing immediately decided to control the impact.
In order to prevent the situation from escalating - especially not letting people know what Xiong Dunpu had specifically criticized the emperor.
Shen Shixing was demoted to Liang Zhejiang by Xiong Dunpu the next day.
The matter would have ended here. Promotion and demotion are not commonplace. Shen Shixing should do things more cleanly and take care of the loose ends.
As a result, recently, a fellow Shuji from the same discipline suddenly appeared.
They ran around and shouted that Xiong Dunpu was wronged!
In addition, now is the time to take the legal exam.
This matter was immediately made a fuss about.
Let’s not tell whether it’s true or not. You can investigate slowly. If the officials have heard about it, they should impeach Shen Shixing first.
Immediately, he reported that he acted arbitrarily and arbitrarily, and even demoted ministers easily before things were clarified. He treated the staff as a backyard, acted unscrupulously and lawlessly without any regulations.
The words were fierce, and it was clear that he would not give up until Shen Shixing was dismissed.
Of course, there is also an extension, saying that the officials were brought into this state by Shen Shixing and were not qualified to pass the exam.
In order to prevent any more officials from being punished by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it is necessary to put things in order after Shen Shixing is dismissed from office before talking about passing the examination.
When the memorial arrived at the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng saw that he was not willing to do anything! He directly blocked the memorial at the cabinet gate!
If the cabinet refuses to do so, the following will naturally start making noise again.
Subsequently, many court officials issued memorials and attached memorials to impeach Shen Shixing.
Things are getting worse.
Rumors began to spread that Zhang Juzheng formed a party, Shen Shixing clung to the chief minister, and that the two men were involved in the cabinet and the official department, and they were ostracizing the emperor.
In other words, the Kao Cheng Law was just a tool used by Zhang Juzheng to seize power with the help of the official department.
In order to protect Shen Shixing, Zhang Juzheng was unwilling to set things right, which was evidenced by the fact that Xiong Dunpu suffered injustice in vain.
If it is not dealt with, it may lead to a serious disaster.
This morning, things finally reached a climax.
Shujishi, Hanlin and others brazenly joined forces and went to the palace to seek an explanation for this matter!
As for Zhu Yijun, he was finally unable to escape and was blocked in the Wenhua Hall. Now he had to come forward to wipe the butt of Shen Shixing.
When Shen Shixing faced the emperor's cross-examination, his expression was bitter and he was speechless.
Why is he acting dictatorially?
Isn’t it because what Song Ru exposed at that time was too shocking!
What can he say? Your Majesty, there are rumors outside that you insulted your aunt?
Not to mention the emperor, he didn't even dare to talk about Zhang Juzheng, and deliberately found excuses to blend in one or two.
If it weren't for the purpose of calming down the situation and preventing others from hearing the emperor's jokes, why would Shen Shixing take the risk and be directly demoted to Liang Zhejiang by Xiong Dunpu?
It turned out to be a good thing. It was originally a good intention, but now it is a mute eating Coptis chinensis!
Seeing that Shen Shixing was speechless, Zhu Yijun said expressionlessly: "Is it because of the ridiculous remarks about my mother?"
The words came out.
Shen Shixing's expression changed several times, like a sudden rain or shine.
Then he came to his senses and quickly bowed down to plead guilty: "I am guilty!"
Zhu Yijun snorted coldly: "You are not guilty. To serve your father, isn't it just that you should report good things and not bad things?"
"If the court officials tell me everything, why do I need the Imperial Guard?"
This is a bit harsh.
Shen Shixing, with a face like a bitter gourd, suddenly fell to the ground and took off his crown and hat: "I'm sorry for my sin, I beg your majesty to remove me."
Zhu Yijun looked at Shen Shixing.
He neither agreed nor comforted him, he just looked at him coldly and gave him a lesson or two from time to time.
"Believe whatever Song Ru says!"
However, unlike what Shen Shixing was thinking at the moment, Zhu Yijun was not that angry towards him.
Historically, Zhang Juzheng was manipulated by Song Confucians, but now he is just replaced by Shen Shixing.
It's hard to say that I'm angry.
In fact, Zhu Yijun just wanted to take advantage of this good opportunity to hammer Shen Shixing.
As Zhang Juzheng's designated successor, Shen Shixing was not mature enough and had character flaws.
It would be bad if you don't work hard now when you are young, and in the future you will get used to doing things without telling the emperor, and make trouble in the cabinet every day.
Historically, Li Sancai offended our elder Shen Ge, and the emperor kindly took the decision for Shen Shixing and demoted Li Sancai three levels in a row.
In the end, Gu Xiancheng came to plead with Shen Shixing - everyone said that Shen Ge was magnanimous, but now that someone has offended you, you would be really magnanimous if you let him go.
Xiao Shen thought for a moment, this is the truth!
Then the emperor openly belittled people, but he secretly went to show favors.
As soon as the front-footer left, he was vaguely promoted and promoted to Nanzhili for training.
It can be said that he is the number one poster in the cabinet.
In order to prevent Shen Shixing from going astray and always doing things without telling the emperor, Zhu Yijun took great pains to first let this guy establish a correct concept of monarch and minister, and develop a good habit of reporting when something happened.
One of the monarch and his ministers knelt down to resign, while the other stood silently.
The atmosphere was extremely dull and depressing.
After a long while, Zhu Yijun sighed: "Shen Qing, you hid this from me in order to reconcile the internal and external affairs. I also know that you have worked hard."
"But now people outside are taking this matter and saying that the officials are unfair in handling matters and questioning the examination law."
"In order to protect you, Yuan Fu offended Yan Guan, and I also suffered a defeat today."
"In this way, Yuan Fu was trapped in dishonesty, and I was trapped in injustice, which made things worse. Shen Qing's good intentions also led to bad things!"
As soon as the words came out.
Shen Shixing was kneeling on the ground, but suddenly he started sobbing, as if he was touched and blamed himself to a certain extent.
"I am aware of my guilt! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Yijun saw that the suppression was almost done, so he still stretched out his hand to help Shen Shixing up.
He said in a low mood: "At this critical moment of passing the exam, how can you become an official?"
"Get up and make meritorious service."
Speaking of this, Zhu Yijun sighed: "I just hope that Shen Qing will take this as a warning and talk to me more in the future. Don't hide everything from me. This is better than any punishment."
Shen Shixing choked up even more.
Zhu Yijun was very satisfied when he saw this, and almost couldn't control his expression.
He coughed lightly and looked at Zhang Hong: "Is Song Ru here?"
Zhang Hong bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, you have just arrived and are waiting in the side hall."
Zhu Yijun nodded, and then said to Shen Shixing: "Let's go, follow me to meet the sages."
Shen Shixing quickly raised his head and saw that the emperor had passed him and walked out of the palace.
Only the emperor's subtle voice reached his ears.
"Although I am young and ungrateful, I can still provide some protection for the New Deal."
Shen Shixing pursed his lips, his face showing both embarrassment and admiration, extremely complicated.
Finally, he sighed, put on his crown and hat, and followed quickly.
Chapter completed!
