As winter comes, the sun becomes shorter. When Zhou Shuren goes to the yamen, the sky is already a little dark, and there are still granular snow particles floating in the sky. Although it is as small as sand, after people stand outside for a long time, there will still be snow on their shoulders.

Zhou Shuren looked directly at Ran Zheng and shook the snow on his cloak, "Okay."

Ran Zheng smiled and stretched out his request gesture. Zhou Shuren got on the carriage without any politeness. Ran Zheng followed him with the Zhou family's carriage following behind him.

Today is Shenxing following the adults. Jinyan's wife is pregnant again. The adults have had a vacation for Jinyan these two days. Shenxing is riding a horse. Compared with the guards of the Ran family, he is so happy. He has a cloak on his body and leather gloves on his hands. These are all purchased by the Zhou family.

The carriage didn't go far, and soon stopped at a restaurant where the lights were lit.

Zhou Shuren and Ran said nothing in the carriage, and Zhou Shuren closed his eyes directly.

The two of them went into the private room. Inside the private room was the servants of the Ran family, and the food and drinks were already placed on the table. After the two of them took their seats, everyone in the room retreated.

Zhou Shuren first poured herself a glass of wine, took a sip of the wine she liked, and raised her eyebrows.

Ran Zheng saw that Zhou Shuren had drunk wine and started eating. If he didn't say anything first, Zhou Shuren would never speak first, "I don't speak, you really ignore me!"

Zhou Shuren put down his chopsticks, "I just didn't expect that you would look for me at this time."

As time goes by, the longer the time goes by, the greater the influence of establishing a prince. Now the consequences of many families are the result of the fate of the emperor. The old minister who started first has fallen into the trap of the emperor and is no longer able to escape, and the people who are taking advantage of the situation are becoming more and more courageous.

If the Ministry of Revenue had not been controlled by him, the Supreme Emperor would have come from time to time, and the Ministry of Revenue would not have been so calm.

Zhou Shuren has been going to court for several days and heard the complaints of the Minister of Personnel. The power of the Ministry of Personnel is the most complicated, and many people in the Ministry of Personnel have had bad ideas.

Zhou Shuren glanced out of the glass window and it was completely dark. This was the time when the Ministry of Personnel was at the same level.

Ran Zheng smiled bitterly, "I don't have the confidence to you. Don't worry, I didn't have ambition because of the concubine Ran at home."

Zhou Shuren was surprised, "Then why are you looking for me so formally?"

Seeing that Ran Zheng's expression was too serious today, it would be difficult for him to understand it without getting it wrong.

Ran Zheng took a sip of wine, "I'm doing it for others to see."

Zhou Shuren understood after a change of thought, "Are you forced to the team?"

Ran Zheng put down his wine glass, "Yes, our Ran family has no power. Even if a concubine is released, it is just a bonus to the harem forces. The empress wants to protect herself in the harem. If I don't retire, I won't be so passive."

As he said that, Ran Zheng looked at Zhou Shuren. The forces in the harem knew what Zhou Shuren represents. Everyone wanted to win over Zhou Shuren, but no one forced Lord Zhou.

When Ran Zheng couldn't sleep at midnight, he was very dazed. Why did Zhou Shuren reach his current position? Not to mention Zhou Shuren's position as the Minister of the Republic, but to talk about his relationship with the royal family, it was all real. A few sons and three were officials in the court, one had already occupied a place in the local area, one had a bright future, and the other slowly walked out of his own way, plus his uncle was there, and his daughter was the Princess of Qin.

Zhou Shuren unknowingly became the top power in the capital.

Ran Zheng's eyes were complicated and continued, "You also know that my son is in the place, and my original intention is that his eldest son will return to Beijing next year."

Zhou Shuren narrowed his eyes, "You are afraid that someone will stop you."

Ran Zheng smiled bitterly, "That's why I forced me to take the team. I think you can see that there will be no conclusions when a crown prince was established before the New Year."

Zhou Shuren touched his beard, and Ran Zheng's family knew about the new emperor. The new emperor had already made a decision and had been dragging it out just to get the greatest benefit in the game.

Zhou Shuren thought to himself that Ran Zheng really had no way out, so he came to find him. Why did he find him? The Ran family and the Zhou family have in-laws, the wife of the eldest grandson, and the granddaughter of Ran Zheng.

Zhou Shuren asked, "The Empress in the Palace?"

Ran Zheng, "The Empress is not young anymore, and it's better if she can protect herself in her condition."

Zhou Shuren understood, to put it bluntly, he would not be favored. If there was not a princess, it would be difficult to see the emperor. Now the emperor is having fun with the major forces, so how could he care about his parents' home that would not favor his concubine?

When the emperor thinks about training, he also has to win in the game. The Ran family is weak, unlike other harem forces, who are strong and can afford to wait.

Ran Zheng didn't want to delay his son, and was afraid that something would happen to his son outside. Before the new emperor succeeded to the throne, the Ran family was attacked. Now that the new emperor has succeeded to the throne, the empress in the palace still cannot protect the Ran family. If it weren't for the emperor's only princess, it would be even more difficult for him now.

Ran Zheng had another glass of wine, "The weak are the sins of the fight in the capital."

Zhou Shuren raised his eyes and attacked Ran Zheng twice. "I won't participate in the disputes in the harem, but I will say something for you and me for many years."

Ran Zheng's eyes were filled with joy, "Thank you."

Zhou Shuren looked at Ran Zheng straight, "The last time I helped the Ran family, it was because of in-laws. This time, your Ran family owed the Zhou family a favor, and this favor must be paid back. As for when to change it, my descendants will go to the Ran family to ask for it."

Ran Zheng looked at Zhou Shuren blankly, lowered his eyes, and quickly raised his head, "Okay."

Zhou Shuren didn't want Ran Zheng to make a fortune. The last time it was his second son's future, but this time it was his eldest son. The eldest son and the second son were different, and the in-laws could not be used.

Zhou Shuren drank wine. Ran Zheng was too show-off today. Unfortunately, he was not a soft-hearted person. There was nothing to continue talking about now. "It's getting late, so I'll go back first."

Ran Zheng stood up and gave it to him, "I'll give it to you."

Zhou Shuren waved his hand, "No need."

Ran Zheng waited for Zhou Shuren to leave, his eyes were complicated. Even if his granddaughter married into the Zhou family, he would be the eldest granddaughter of the Zhou family. Zhou Shuren has reached his current status because he is too clear, and the Zhou family's favor is not good.

Zhou Shuren returned to the carriage, used to playing with the jade pendant around her waist, thinking about the power of the harem, and then closed her eyes.

The next morning, Zhou Shuren went to the morning court. When it came to the morning court, Zhou Shuren was a little unhappy. He could still take a leave when he was a minister. Now he is a minister, but he has to attend court on a daily basis.

In today's morning court, Zhou Shuren was too lazy to listen to the disputes between various forces, and just wanted to return to the Ministry of Revenue soon.

Today, the Supreme Emperor will come to the Ministry of Revenue and say he wants to bring roasted sweet potatoes. Thinking of this style, Zhou Shuren couldn't help but twitch his beard. The Supreme Emperor is becoming more and more down-to-earth, and he really lets himself go.

Especially when the Supreme Emperor pretends to be stupid, he also knows it very well. When he is not busy, he will take the glorious deeds with him. Yes, he also taught lock unlocking. Yes, he lit up the lock unlocking skills!
