"What? The imperial envoy is here?" After receiving the latest news from Juren Yan back, Zhao Xianzhong suddenly jumped out of his seat: "If you don't ask someone to stare at the dock day and night, why would you ask the imperial envoy to enter the city like this?"
"The students don't know either. Perhaps it was because the imperial envoy intended it." Juren Yan frowned.
"I mean it..." Zhao Xianzhong murmured to himself, the cold sweat on his forehead had already come down. He knew that perhaps the worst possibility was that the imperial envoy who came down this time was not only not under the disciple of Mr. Li, but most of them were people from Mr. Xie's side. Then, then
Xie Ge is Chen Li's father-in-law, so he naturally favors his son-in-law's family. In addition, the "Japanese riot" this time is true. Is the Shen clan involved or not? The so-called evidence before can't stand it. Think about it.
"Rain curtain, this imperial envoy is not good, what should I do?" Zhao Xianzhong touched the increasingly sparse head and looked at Yan Juren, his eyes full of expectation. He wanted to leave a way out for himself, but that was also a gift for He. The family formed an alliance, after all, the Shen family offended too much. It was not too late to take the initiative to seek peace with the Shen family?
Juren Yan has been an aide for more than half a year and has seen through Zhao Xianzhong. He is a greedy and ungrateful person. At this time, he wanted to repeat it again, so he acted: "If there is no life in it, the adults can still have a way out. Now even if the adults have the intention to show it. OK, I’m afraid the Shen family will be reluctant to give in!”
Zhao Xianzhong stamped his feet and said, "I regret it too. If I can find out who is the one who is doing it and let the master take the blame, I can't spare him!"
Yan Juren's eyes flashed and said, "Sir, the most important thing in front of him is the imperial envoy. No matter what personal relationship the imperial envoy has with the Shen family, this is under the rule of the master after all. If the imperial envoy is allowed to investigate like this, it will be a disadvantage to the master!"
"I don't have the 'Teacher', so they dare to wrongly accuse me?" Zhao Xianzhong said excitedly.
"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of one, what if someone sues me first?" Yan Juren said.
Zhao Xianzhong was immediately stunned. At that time, several children of the Shen family had no evidence to "come with the Japanese". He asked him to file a case because someone "made a head". If the imperial envoy was really a relationship with the Shen family, it would be difficult to guarantee that the same trick would not be used again.
Zhao Xianzhong was naturally not a fool to be promoted to the prefect. He immediately thought of the key point: "I changed my official uniform to welcome the imperial envoy. Since the imperial envoy came to investigate the case for the Japanese in Songjiang, he would naturally move into the prefect's office." After that, he returned I went to change the official uniforms in the inner room.
Juren Yan was afraid that Zhao Xianzhong would show his timidity, so he hid the imperial envoy to send the Jinyiwei, but he felt a little uneasy. Now he couldn't tell whether he was looking forward to the news from Zhang or not, there was news. This means that the imperial envoy has had an unusual move. Doesn’t there be any news that means they no longer need to check?
Because Zhao Xianzhong was going to travel, Juren Yan asked someone to pass on a message to the sedan chairmen, yamen runners and others to prepare, and all the officials under the prefectural yamen were to come and accompany him immediately.
It was a day of rest, but after such a struggle, the official house under the prefect's office was overturned. Because Yan Juren sent someone to pass the message, he was so annoyed that he could not help but greet Yan Juren's elders in his heart.
After two quarters of an hour, Zhao Xianzhong came out in a neat dress, the sedan chairmen and yamen runners were ready, and the officials also came to 60% or 70% of them, and the team looked quite imposing.
Zhao Xianzhong looked at it and felt more confident. The Songjiang Prefect's Office is his territory. The imperial envoy came in and wanted to investigate the case and what to investigate. He had the final say.
Knowing that it was Juren Yan who was sending a message to prepare, Zhao Xianzhong not only did not blame him, but instead felt more and more that he felt sorry for him. He said to Juren Yan with praise, "Thank you for your hard work in the rain."
Juren Yan bowed and said, "You are kind to you, this is the student's duty."
Seeing the appearance of the guest and the host, the officials from the prefectural office saw it sore.
Zhao Xianzhong walked to the sedan chair and remembered to tell everyone, saying, "The imperial envoy has arrived in Songjiang and have a rest at Hongyun Inn. You can follow our residence to welcome the imperial envoy."
Although the officials of the country had known that the capital would send an imperial envoy to the near future, they would not have the chance to lead the host to greet them, but they did not expect that the place where they were welcomed was not Songjiang Wharf or Shili Pavilion outside the city, but the largest in the city.
Inn Hongyun Inn.
Among these officials, the ones who are smart enough to start thinking about it; as for those who are stupid, they also feel that they are stupid. Since the imperial envoy is an official, he doesn't live in an inn, why can he stay in an inn?
Some local officials who came from wealthy families couldn't help but whisper, "Come on." Originally, everyone was from Songjiang, and they were dissatisfied with Zhao Xianzhong's exploitation of the local area. When Zhao Xianzhong pushed the Shen family to blame, the dissatisfaction fermented to seven points.
The Shen family has produced two top scholars, all of which are the masters of the court, and they have been glorious for decades in the officialdom. If the children of each family have achieved success and become Jinshi, they can get a lot of protection if only one "membersmen" is needed; not to mention
If you talk about old surnames like Songjiang and have relatives, it is not just a "country friendship", but you can barely say "old relatives" with shamelessness.
If Zhao Xianzhong really knocked down the Shen family, it would only reduce his own guilt. The He family, who was determined to compete with the Shen family, would suffer losses to other families. Because of this, the Shen family was caught in a lawsuit.
Only then did Shen Hai get news from his friends; the head of the Lu family also went from being neutral to becoming more biased towards the Shen family.
The imperial envoy came quietly, not staying in the official office or the prefect's office, but staying in the Hongyun Inn. What does this mean?
Everyone winked, with gloating in their eyes.
Although Juren Yan was Zhao Xianzhong's confidant aide, he had no grade and was only followed by the team. When he saw the movements in the crowd, he also heard a few words in his ears, mostly speaking to the Shen family, and he was also very depressed.
Before coming to Songjiang, although he knew that the Shen family had produced two top scholars, Yan Juren only thought they were lucky.
When I arrived in Songjiang, I began to investigate the legitimate branches and children of the Shen family in detail. When I knew that there were Jinshi, Juren, and scholars, Yan Juren suspected that the feng shui of the Shen family was good and wanted to ask someone to dig the Shen family.
The ancestors are in the grave. If someone else trains his family, he may not be able to produce a Juren, but the Shen family is a Juren who doesn't want money. Even the offenders who have been expelled will become talents one by one. The one who passed the imperial examination will be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the
, fame and fortune are at your fingertips.
You should know that the Yan family started to become rich from the generation of Yan Juren’s grandfathers. The generation of uncles and uncles, plus their generation, only two scholars and one Juren.
As the only Juren in the family, Yan Juren passed the Juren at the age of 25, ranked in the 20th place, and looked decent. He arrived in the capital with great enthusiasm. After a spring boudoir, Yan Juren knew what it was like to have someone outside of the human body and there was a sky outside of the sky.
He did not think that his knowledge was insufficient, but instead found a rule, that is, the children of officials were more willing to be on the list, and there were only a few truly poor children. Even if they were not children of officials, they were still local people who studied in the local area, and their fathers and grandparents had fame.
, it is easier for descendants to enter school.
Yan Juren's family was rich and generous, and he sprinkled money one by one. After working as a big boss several times, he finally got a piece of news from a drunken Jinshi, that is, the family of officials and farming and studying, because his elders had experience in the imperial examination,
There are more tips to pass on to descendants, or ask someone to write questions or other tips.
Juren Yan woke up from his dream and realized what his shortcomings were. No matter how rich the Yan family was, they were still a merchant family. Only when he was in his generation did he become a Juren, he was himself. Uncle produced a scholar and a cousin from ten
At what age he started to take the exam until he was forty and also got the title of a scholar. If he had become an official, then he could make a backer by spending money; but if he couldn't get through the spring boudoir, how could he talk about anything else?
When he returned to Yangzhou, Juren Yan stopped studying hard, but instead made friends with scholars and made friends with two farming families. But he was fine if he was a friend who was a wine and meat, but when talking about the tips for the imperial examination, those people became vague.
Juren Yan had no choice but to invite a high-priced person to visit a Jinshi official, wanting to ask the other party to "counter". The other party's 70-year-old man had a big beard and shook his head and said that if he had the ability, his grandson would not be just a scholar.
But he didn't mention his son. His son was also a Jinshi and is now a magistrate.
He is both a retired official and a current official's parents. No matter how dissatisfied Juren Yan is, he can only be polite.
After three years, Juren Yan still failed to find the "exam trick" and could only go to Beijing to take the exam again without any confidence. The result was not surprising, so he naturally failed.
Seeing the new top scholar riding a horse and parading on the street, Yan Juren's tears were about to fall.
The family was afraid that Juren Yan would be frustrated too much, so they wanted to buy him a shortage, but Juren Yan refused. He was a child at the age of twelve, became a scholar at the age of 15, and passed the imperial examination at the age of 25. He has always been the pride of the family, but he is really unwilling to accept it.
Just give up the spring exam like this.
Just when Juren Yan had no way to ask for help and became resentful, a turning point came.
Shen Yuan came to Yangzhou and served as a professor of the official school under the prefectural office. A professor of the prefectural school, a poor academic official, is not in the eyes of the richest man in Yangzhou. But what surprised the Yan family was that Shen Yuan became the guest of the prefect.
Then, then
The name of the Shen family in Songjiang was spread to Yangzhou with Shenyuan.
A family has the top scholar, the Minister of Revenue, the Hanlin, the Jinshi, and the Juren. This is not only the backer now, but also the backer twenty or thirty years later.
If the Yan family wants to firmly hold the position of the richest man in Yangzhou, they naturally feed every prefecture, and the prefect's yamen has the most eyeliners. Therefore, before the other families in Yangzhou can react, the head of the Yan family has visited Shen Yuan in person to eat and drink.
, have friendship.
Yan Juren's eyes lit up.
The Shen family, the family of officials, and the family of farming and studying, have endless children's careers.
Juren Yan put down his talented pride and took the initiative to socialize with his elders of the family.
Needless to say, Shen Yuan's appearance and conversation are quite confusing. He has elegant appearance and good conversation, and he also has the reputation of a scholar. When he is indirect and inquiring about the situation of going to Shen Yuan's house, the Yan family will even look at him.
Shen Yuan’s first wife was the cousin of the wife of Shangshu in the capital. The marriage was decided by the elders of Shangshu Mansion; Shen Yuan’s successor wife He was the daughter of the He family of Songjiang clan.
Shen Yuan, the master of the fourth legitimate branch of the Shen family, finally received true respect in Yangzhou.
If He hadn't been here, Juren Yan would have wanted to persuade his elders to "make a daughter" against Chen Yuan; unfortunately Juren has already reunited, and the Yan family's daughter has no reason to be a concubine...
