After following the emperor to participate in farming, Shu Yan felt that his body was not as good as before due to lack of exercise, so he would dance several times every morning with the sword given to him by Xiao Mo, and after the dance, he would go to the Shangshutai to work.

It's worth it. He usually doesn't dance at night because he's afraid of seeing things and missing people. He mostly gets up early to dance swordsmanship, goes to the Shangshutai during the day, and reads at night.

Book. He is now more worried than missing Xiao Mo - will something happen to him on the road? Or does he not want to come back? There is always a reason for not coming back for so long. He doesn't think and doesn't want Xiao Mo to come back.

Mo is an unkind person, but at this time, he would rather Xiao Mo didn't want to come back because of his heart, and he doesn't want anything to happen to him on the road.

He's been gone for too long, and he might never come back.

Due to the large size and growing importance of the Shangshutai, Emperor Sima Yan was wary of him, so he deliberately strengthened the Zhongshu system to properly suppress the Shangshutai. In addition, after pacifying the four directions, Sima Yan gradually began to pursue pleasure and control the Central Committee of the DPRK.

event

They were all put under the control of Yang Jun, the head of state. However, Wei Guan, the minister, was at odds with Yang Jun because he opposed Prince Sima Zhong as the crown prince. Yang Jun took the opportunity to squeeze Wei Guan out. Nowadays, imperial edicts are no longer issued through the minister's desk.

Instead, it will be implemented by people from Zhongshu System.

Shu Yan felt a lot more relaxed because he no longer had to be on duty in the inner court. He only took turns among the Cao Cao at the Shangshu Desk every day and drafted various documents. On this day, Shu Yan heard something about his hometown at the Shangshu Desk.

He was shocked. It turned out that Sima Mo, the king of Ruyin, died of illness at the age of eleven.

At the beginning, although the princes and kings of the royal family had their own fiefdoms, most of them were reluctant to go to their respective fiefdoms because they were nostalgic for the prosperity of Luoyang or coveted the power in the court. Instead, they stayed in the capital. There was a group of princes.

The ministers advised Sima Yan to order them all to return

Go to your own fiefdom. The reason is that since the princes and kings are close relatives of the royal family, they should guard the Sima family for the emperor in their respective fiefdoms and should not gather in the capital. The name is so, but in fact it is to exclude dissidents. The most important thing is

In order to squeeze away Sima You, the king of Qi.

Sima Mo was only a few years old at the time, so he did not go to his fiefdom of Ruyin to stay permanently, but stayed in the capital. His mother was a concubine of Sima Yan with a low status. Because he was still young and had no heirs,

No one succeeds him

, so Sima Yan decided to abolish the Ruyin Kingdom, take back the fiefdoms, and restore the Ruyin County. In this way, Qiu Shoutai, the Prime Minister of the Ruyin Kingdom, would change his identity and become the prefect of Ruyin County, and other officials, big and small, would also follow suit.

changes.

In this case, there were many matters involved. The court naturally had to send someone to deal with it. Sima Yan had twenty-six sons. Although he was a little sad about Sima Mo's death, he didn't care very much. He now thinks about it

The first thing he wanted to do was to send someone to deal with the affairs of Ruyin. Since the establishment of a county involves all aspects of personnel, taxation, military, and local administration, of course he had to select a few capable people. He first thought of Ruyin's hometown.

The two young men

Talented people - Shu Yan and Shi De. But they were young and had little qualifications, so they could not take the lead. In the end, Jia Gong, the Grand Central Magistrate of Yuzhou, took the job. Because Ruyin belongs to the lower-level administrative district of Yuzhou

,Jia

Gong is quite familiar with the officials in Ruyin. As Shihui, the Zhongzheng of Ruyin, he was not selected because of his friendship with Qiu Shoutai and in order to avoid suspicion. The Situ Mansion, the Ministry of Officials, and the chief minister in charge of taxation were also selected.

The people left.

Shu Yan received the assignment and was naturally very willing. Because he had been away from his hometown for a year and wanted to go home to visit Chang Tingzhang, Han Ruoxin and the elders in his hometown. As for the Shi family, they also felt honored to receive this errand assigned by the emperor.

Moreover, Shi Hui also wanted to know about the business situation of his family's land, water, sales, etc. in his hometown. But clinker and Biyu were not satisfied because of the

After taking Wu Shi Powder the day before yesterday, he went out for a walk and caught a cold when he came back. Although he was not seriously ill, he is a pampered person and is timid when he is not sick. Now he has a slight illness and is even more unbearable.

He couldn't even go to the Secretary's Pavilion, let alone Ruyin, which was thousands of miles away. Shi Hui hated iron and scolded him a few times, but there was nothing he could do.

Shu Yan simply packed up, took the sword that Xiao Mo gave him, and set off with the group. He rode to the Luo River Ferry, where an official ship was waiting. The Luo River is not directly connected to the Ru River, so precautions are needed.

Taking the dry road, the group also led the horses onto the boat.

Xiaoxing stayed overnight for more than one day. The official ship had left Luoshui, changed the land and water, and changed ships to sail into the Ru River. Getting closer and closer to his hometown, Shu Yan couldn't sit still in the cabin. He walked out of the cabin,

Holding on to the railing on the side of the boat,

There were waves in his heart. He was very emotional about the Ru River. He had grown up by the Ru River since he was a child. The source of food, drink, and play were all related to this river. It was the Ru River that raised him.

and his hometown people.

He loves this river and hates it at the same time. Because this river has taken away several of his closest relatives - his father, mother, Uncle Han, Zhixin. Why did such a motherly river suddenly disappear?

Turned into a devouring demon? Her parents and Uncle Han still knew the place where she was devoured, but Zhixin didn’t even know where she fell into the water...

While he was sighing, the boat had already arrived at the boundary of Ruyin. The scenery on both sides of the strait was becoming more and more familiar, and it was getting closer and closer to the Shujiazhuang Ferry where he and Zhixin met for the last time. However, the boat did not go south any further.

It stopped at another ferry nearby.

The deceased is like this, no matter how much my loved ones miss him, it will eventually pass. I have feelings for Shujiazhuang, but they are only my own personal feelings. At the moment, I still have to do business, and I can't delay everyone's schedule because of myself.

It was getting late, and they still had to walk a long way into the city, so the group rested on the boat for another night. Early the next morning, after getting off the boat, Jia Gong said to Shu Yan: "Shu Lang, we are now at your

It’s my hometown, do you want to visit your relatives first or do business first?”

Shu Yan smiled and said: "This is my hometown. I should have invited everyone to my humble house for a cup of tea first. But this time we are not just traveling for a leisurely trip. We have official business to attend to. There is nothing more important to do first."

After hearing this, Jia Gong nodded, and everyone mounted their horses and ran towards Ruyin City. When they arrived at the county office, the gatekeeper saw a group of people coming not far away, and they were all wearing court uniforms, so they knew they were of a high rank. When they got closer,

Only then did they recognize it was Jia Gong and Shu Yan, and hurriedly reported inside.

Because Shu Yan worked here as a literary clerk and secretary for a while after he was promoted as Xiaolian, these officers all knew him; and Jia Gong was the state's great official, the ultimate assessor of officials, and

Naturally, some of the people there who have some status are acquainted with them.

Qiu Shoutai was in the back office when he heard the officer report that Jia Gong and Shu Yan had arrived with a group of people. He was startled and hurriedly put on his clothes and went out to greet him. He met Jia Gong first, complimented him, and then

Seeing Shu Yan, he said: "Shu Wenxue...oh, no, it's Shu Shangshu Lang."

Although Shu Yan was a court official, his rank was much lower than that of Qiu Guoxiang, and Qiu Guoxiang had also been his boss, so of course he had to be more humble. He bowed respectfully and said, "How are you doing, Qiu Guoxiang?"

Although Shu Yan came from a poor family and was just a small minister, he was working in the court after all. Naturally, Qiu Guoxiang did not dare to underestimate him. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Shu Yan and said to the person next to him: "Shu Shangshu is entering."

Before going to court

He once worked as a literary agent here, and I always called him "Shu Wenxue" at that time, which was a pleasant name. No, I just took the liberty to call him "Shu Wenxue". I forgot for a moment that he had already obtained a promising job in the court.

Nice job, tsk tsk.”

An official from the Ministry of Personnel next to him said: "Shu Shangshulang is Xiaolian recommended by Qiu Guoxiang. You really have good taste. Shu Shangshulang is highly valued by the emperor!"

After hearing this, Qiu Shoutai pretended to smile proudly and said: "That is necessary. I have long noticed Shu Shang Shulang's talents and knew that he would definitely add glory to our Ruyin. Otherwise, why would Quan Ruyin be so
