Chapter 564: What's your surname?
"This... is a bit of a coincidence." Zhou Heng's thinking in the 21st century was that he had the same surname as Liang and the same radical in his name. What could this mean? There are so many people with the same name and surname in the world. Is it possible? Are they the long-lost brothers? But seeing the excitement on Taishi Shen's face, he could only smile and agree.
Seeing the disapproving polite look on her face, Grand Master Shen knew that the girl in front of him was still too young, and had underestimated or maybe even simply didn't understand the influence of clan on men, especially those in the officialdom.
Also, the Zhou family is now in complete decline, and there is a lack of education in this area. Zhou Yan relied on his mother, Mrs. Zhou Tai, to still have some dignity in the palace, so he managed to get an official position in the Ministry of Etiquette. He didn't look at him. None of those sons are successful now. The daughter in front of her is trying to live up to her own expectations, but after all, she is from a girl's family, so how can she know about the officialdom?
It is still a pity. Miss Zhou has a strong character and is willing to endure hardships. However, her birth background does have some influence. The Princess Shen Yi is worthy of being a lady from the royal family. Although Princess Jing passed away early, she later The old lady of the Lord Protector's Mansion has taught me for many years, and her vision and courage have been shown at critical moments.
No, the seemingly unbelievable things that happened on both sides of the North Road and the Northeast Road are unknown to outsiders, but I know some of the ins and outs. So after a little thought, I know that the leaders of these three roads must have a relationship through Qi. , and most of it has something to do with Shen Yi, the Princess of Prince Jing’s Mansion from the capital.
In this case, what Northeastern Governor Liang Heya did is more interesting.
The Minister Liang, who has passed away many years ago, and the current Governor Liang, the boss of the Northeast Province, seem to have no connection. However, they are both from the Northeast Province and have the same surname. They are even of the same generation. How could it be possible that they are not related?
Even if there was really no relationship between the two people, Liang Heya was not the governor who appeared out of thin air now. In this case, the fact that Liang Shilang Liang Hegang won the election in the first place would not have his nationality in a place where scholars are rare, such as Northeast Road. Nameless, not to mention that her daughter later entered the palace and gave birth to the fourth prince.
Liang Shilang, who was promoted to a Beijing official and later became a relative of the emperor, is a famous figure everywhere. Do you think Governor Liang will not be tempted and not have some relations with him?
Since Liang Heya can reach the position of governor, I heard that he was promoted half by his family background and half by his military achievements, so he is naturally capable. In this case, let alone the relationship that brought him to the door, do you think he will Turn a blind eye?
When I went to Beijing to take the exam, didn't the students clamor to live in a fellow villagers' guild hall? To put it bluntly, I just wanted to make friends and make many connections in the future.
Officialdom, officialdom, don’t being an official depend on the support of others?
I have been an official for almost 40 years, and looking around, I can see clearly and secretly that it was only because of Ah Huan, my biological sister, that I went to the late emperor to clarify my relationship with Prince Jing's palace.
Otherwise, even if the intersection of civil and military affairs attracts attention, since everyone knows that they have the same surname of Shen, they can honestly rank each other according to their seniority and seniority.
They are all staying in the capital, looking up but not looking down. No one can say anything about it. It's good to have some face.
And these two people with the surname Liang are even more serious. They are both from the Northeast Taoist family, have the same surname of Liang, and are of the same generation with the surname He. One is the father of a palace concubine and a civil servant in Beijing, and the other is a military general and a local official. They really have to be friends. There is no need to worry about being seen, after all, the two sides are thousands of miles apart. Moreover, Shilang Liang himself has no foundation, so he can find a helper for his daughter and grandson, while Governor Liang can have someone in front of the emperor who can communicate with him, and this person is also a relative of the fourth prince. Ancestor, this kind of friendship has only advantages and no disadvantages!
Based on this, Master Shen was sure that there was definitely something involved between Governor Liang and Shilang Liang! He also firmly believed that Governor Liang was wary of the current regent, fearing that old scores would be raised.
She could think of this relationship between Liang and the regent, and even if she couldn't think of it at the moment, wouldn't she also think of her mother?
In this case, everyone knows everything well about each other. How can Governor Liang not think about his own future? Aren't he afraid that the regent will turn around and deal with him?
I think the princess must have thought of this, and I don't know how she did it. In short, the performance of the North Road and the Northeast Road felt like they were on stage to perform for people to watch.
Otherwise, the Northern Road was invaded by herdsmen with great force. Why haven't we seen a few people who escaped from there?
Master Shen spent a night thinking about what happened in these days several times. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the North Road and Northeast Road behaved like this because they should be on guard against the regent in the capital.
It doesn’t necessarily mean that they will be united with the Northwest Road from now on, but once people start to be on guard, and there are two border areas with heavy troops, if the regent wants to advance the next thing, it won’t be so smooth. .On this point, Taishi Shen felt that he was very sure.
For this reason, when I woke up in the morning, I was pacing back and forth in the study again, thinking about these things, but I was interrupted by Ah Man who came in and asked me, and I almost forgot Governor Liang's name.
The little guy asked him this after learning that he was thinking of two people named Liang:
"Grandpa Shen, why do people have different surnames? Why is your surname Shen?"
After being explained the origin of his surname, the little guy thought about it carefully. Fortunately, Zhou Heng had told him the so-called tragic history of his family's ancestors before, and he knew that he also had grandparents, but the problem was :
"Then what's your ancestor's last name?"
These words stopped Grand Master Shen from asking. Do you want to directly tell him that your surname is Chen? In today's situation, people cannot easily know his surname. But if his surname is not Chen, what is his surname? Are you just making up a random name?
Master Shen thought for a while and decided to pass this problem to Zhou Heng:
"I'll ask your mother later during lunch and we'll find out!"
...Zhou Heng didn't expect that the little guy would ask such a difficult question during lunch. Huh, the slippery Master Shen is not willing to make any extra effort. But, thanks to what he said to him in the morning Since the matter between the Minister and Governor Liang is like this, let Ah Man also be named Liang. Anyway, it is his mother's surname, so it makes sense:
"Your surname is also Liang, Liang from Dongliang. You know that word, right?"
As a result, the little guy was not happy when he heard it:
"No! This word "Liang" is what Grandpa Shen just told me!"
It means that Zhou Heng used a ready-made surname to fool him, and no matter how he explained it later, he felt that Zhou Heng was coaxing him.
It seems that he is really old, and he can't mess with such a trivial matter. Zhou Heng sighed inwardly. If that's the case, then he might as well tell him the truth:
Chapter completed!
