Not to mention the ridiculous drama of "entrusting a wife and offering a son" between these two foreign "brothers", the Taipusi Hutong where the cabinet minister Shen Shixing lived was no longer noisy at this time. Inside Wujin's mansion, there was also
Only the light was on in the study room.
The area of this residence is incomparable to that of Zhang Guogong's house, which occupies half of "Zhongxing Hutong", but compared with Liang Menglong, Pan Sheng and others who came to Beijing later, Shen Shixing, the imperial master, still had an advantage.
Nowadays, in the inner city of the capital, the houses five in front and one in front are already considered top-class mansions. Because after the kings came to the capital, the royal family would use magnificent mansions to maintain their dignity, which caused the inner city to be overcrowded.
The Zhongxing Zhang Mansion in Hufang Bridge was able to maintain its original area because the emperor moved the animals out. Xianglai Street, Weiying (Eagle Feeding) Hutong and Tiezhan Hutong are places where elephants, tigers and other animals are raised.
Shops were moved out of the inner city.
In recent years, tigers and elephants have no longer been required to participate in any large-scale activities. After the Ministry of Internal Affairs took over these animals, they found an open space outside Xuanwumen and built the "Jingshi Zoo", and the living animals donated by the surrounding vassals also increased.
Where to go.
As long as you buy a ticket to enter the park, you can watch animals that are rarely seen in ordinary times, and you can also see wonderful animal taming performances, which are still loved by the people in the capital and foreign businessmen. However, the animal tamers who were originally eliminated from the "Elephant Performance Institute" were reassigned.
He was able to continue to support his family in his new position - apart from losing his original status as a royal employee, nothing changed.
But changes are still happening subtly. There are more horses in the capital - too many. The horses eliminated at the horse racing meeting have prospered the mule and horse market in the capital. The golden sweat horses, tall and heroic Arabian horses, shoulder
There are many long-distance horses with strong muscles. Therefore, the high-ranking officials in the capital have new things to compare with - dazzling carriages and tall horses. In order to allow these beautiful carriages to travel unimpeded in the capital, everywhere
The roads are also getting wider and wider.
The "Jockey Club" that continues to be practiced amidst the scoldings still agitates the hearts of gamblers in the capital. Although the imperial court has issued special edicts to dissuade the Jockey Club and continues to increase taxes on the Jockey Club, "horse racing" is still the most popular activity in the capital.
The exciting entertainment activities and the joys and sorrows that are staged every day at the horse racing club are enough to make even a hard-hearted person sigh.
Shen Shixing was not a rigid person, but he hated the Jockey Club very much. After putting down the newspaper, he scolded him a few times. The person sitting in his study picked up a piece of snack, ate it with tea and said: "Mr. Yaoquan
If there is nothing else, I will resign and go home——" There was a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone, and the resentment was clearly audible.
Shen Shixing lowered his head and looked at the unopened newspaper on the table, as if there was a flower on it. The thin-faced and long-bearded man opposite saw him ignoring him, and thought to himself: "This 'reading newspaper' time is long enough."
Sorry, I haven’t offended you—" He stood up and bowed, saying, "I'll beg you to leave."
Shen Shixing finally raised his head: "Zou Yuanbiao, who is in charge of the official affairs, is your friend?"
Hearing this, the man stumbled and said, "Mr. Yaoquan has something to do, please make it clear."
Shen Shixing said coldly: "It was only when a major case was revealed that only ten people in the imperial court knew about it; only ten people in Shuntian Prefecture knew about it; only ten people in Daxing and Wanping counties knew about it, but Zou Yuanbiao knew about it earlier - still
Pass me a memorial."
"I don't know what Mr. Yaoquan is referring to, but has he come out to expose the case again? In the previous case, Liu Tai died and Yan Guan kept silent for ten years; is this case targeting Zou Yuanbiao?"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Shen Shixing's mouth, and he raised his head to look at the other party: "Jiaomen has lost his composure. I said the word 'reveal', but I haven't said the word 'post' yet."
Shen Yiguan, who is known as "Jiaomen", swayed when he heard this and said with a smile: "It sounds like a 'big case of uncovering the post', so it's a mistake."
Shen Shixing heard his denial and did not argue with him. He picked up the memorial on the table, looked at Shen Yiguan with bright eyes, and sneered: "Nowadays, there are still people who come to challenge Chengfa, and they can be regarded as stunned! However, He's just a gunman, who can be confused?"
Shen Yiguan laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "The law has harmed the people for a long time. Zou Yuan is a public servant and forgets his own interests. He is a man of character and integrity for the country."
"I didn't say that Zou Yuanbiao opposed the Kao Cheng Law. I first said that Zou Yuanbiao submitted a memorial for the 'big case', and then said that there are still people who attack the 'Kao Cheng Law' - but you know that Zou Yuanbiao also said that he would unveil the case, and What else does this memorial have to say about "Gong Kao Cheng Dharma"? Let Jiaomen tell it together and listen."
Shen Guanyi continued to act rogue and said: "Mr. Yaoquan, how do I know what Zou Yuanbiao wrote about the memorial? However, it is quite inappropriate for Mr. Yaoquan to bring his memorial home from the General Affairs Department. Even if he is your student, You can’t protect him like this. Your Majesty has repeatedly issued orders not to use your master—"
"Isn't the pattern on the plaque on the main building of Zhongxing Prince's Palace, 'You make a boat', something that you, Shen Yigui, have been promoting everywhere?"
He unfolded the memorial and read: "Such beasts are so heartless that they have humiliated the emperor. Since there is the private seal of the Queen Mother on 'You are a boat', it means that the Queen Mother is like the Queen Mother, and so is Juzheng. Haha, Shilang Shen, you are so clever! You are in the Ministry of Punishment I’ve really learned a lot of tricks in the past few years!”
"It's a pity that you were too clever to be clever! This memorial was not admitted to the General Administration Department. Zou Yuanbiao is not stupid - he even knew to show it to me, the teacher, before submitting it! What he handed in today is just an ordinary thing! Why, Jiaomen Brother, do you still want to quibble?"
Shen Yiguan was silent for a while, then he straightened up and looked directly into Shen Shixing's eyes, with an obvious sneer in his voice: "Haha, I didn't write that vulgar and incompetent limerick - I don't know what my old servant is. With such a crooked talent, what is even more unexpected is that a servant would dare to make a joke about his master and his master in public."
"It's just a joke during the dinner - it's two different things from revealing the post." Although Shen Shixing pretended to be calm and relaxed, his tone was very soft.
"Yes. That's what you said." The sarcasm on Shen Guanguan's face could not be concealed. Then he chuckled and said: "I wonder if the court has caught the person who wrote the unveiling note - can they find out who wrote this crooked poem? "
Shen Shixing was silent.
Shen Guangyuan put away the contemptuous expression on his face, and his voice became hoarse: "Mr. Yaoquan, you and I are both academics - in your conscience, is it a good idea to pass the Hetiao weaving examination?!"
"From North Zhili to the northwest, there are hundreds of thousands of bankrupt households! Grain from the Northeast enters the customs, and grain from Myanmar enters the Hong Kong - low prices hurt farmers in good years, and they don't have enough to eat in disaster years! The fields are abandoned, and every city is overcrowded, and everyone has to go to the factory. Come and earn the money for recruiting!"
"Oh, you said that farmers come to the city just to pay bills and make banknotes?" Shen Shixing showed a playful smile on his face, "Now there are not many 'arguments' that the imperial court will definitely take the lead..." As various journals published Words such as “argument”, “argument”, “proof” and “inference” are becoming popular, and more and more of these new words are used in folk communication.
Shen Yiguan couldn't help stumbling in his mouth, and he continued: "It is true that it is a good method in Jiangnan and other places... Where can there be a good method that is universally applicable?"
"That's right. Is there any good way to easily lure Mr. Ge into trouble? Song Jiu'er drank yellow soup, insulted his mentor, and was killed by me with a cane that night. Haha, a certain person has also been sent to the secret confession of apology, do you know?"
This time it was Shen Yiguan's turn to remain silent.
Shen Shixing took a deep look at him and said coldly: "Juzhang Shanren's poem goes like this: 'In narrow alleys where soldiers meet in close quarters, killing people like grass is not heard.' You are my disciple, and you have indeed learned seven points. But Shen Mingchen Hu Xiangmao's curtain is a major matter for the country and the people - but why are you doing this secret conspiracy and cunning tricks?"
