After finishing this work, Xie Yu had time to go to the house awarded by the imperial court near the orange garden.

This house, not counting the two mountains and forests, covers an area of ​​more than 90 acres. It is a first-class house, completely built like a count's mansion.

More importantly, it is adjacent to the nearby Ningyuan Marquis Mansion of the Gu family. It seems that Zhao Zongquan knew that he could not decide the title, but the house was given according to the count's proportion, so he still "partnered" with Gu Tingye, which must have been somewhat thoughtful.

After entering the house, he saw Zhao Pan'er directing the arrangements to be as symmetrical as possible according to Xie Yu's habits. Xie Yu secretly exclaimed "damned obsessive-compulsive disorder" to express his satisfaction.

Seeing Xie Yu finally returning home, the corners of Zhao Paner's eyes turned slightly red.

I also saw my aunt Liu Mama and Jiu'er, who were much more luxuriously dressed, and Shulan, who was holding her concubine.

Zhao Pan'er then replied to Xie Yu and said that after the gifts given by the bribers were turned over, the prince looked over them and sent them back as rewards.

Seeing that Zhao Pan'er still didn't understand, it's yours to give it to you, and you can't ask for excuses if I don't give it to you. Xie Yu didn't bother to explain. After blowing off the lamp, the head of the bed shook.

After all, even though they met in person, they could only talk for a while. Xie Yu was too busy and had no time for this.

Finally, the head of the bed couldn't move anymore, so Zhao Pan'er pushed Xie Yu weakly.

Xie Yuming got up and came to Shulan's room.

Shulan, who had been waiting for Xie Yu for a long time... Well, the head of the bed continued to shake.

Finally, Xie Yu said to Shulan, "Tomorrow, take your daughter with you and go back to Sheng Mansion with me to meet your uncle and pay a visit to your second grandmother."

Shulan hummed and said, "Sister Pan'er, won't you go?"

Xie Yu: "She is a little busy. She can't leave because of things in the house. Next time, just take her with you."

Shulan didn't speak anymore, but proved herself with actions.

The next day, in the early spring, the weather was slightly cold. Xie Yu specially ordered a simple single carriage, driven by Bu Wei. Xie Yu, Shu Lan, and the concubine, a total of four people, rushed to Sheng Mansion.

Seeing Xie Yu riding in a simple single carriage, carrying only Shulan and her daughter, to visit Sheng Mansion, Sheng Hong said that no wonder everyone was satisfied with Xie Yu's liquidation work.

From a personal point of view, it is worthy of praise, but it is a pity that Shulan is not Xie Yu's wife, otherwise...

Seeing Sheng Hong coming out of the house to greet him, Xie Yu naturally did not dare to pretend to be superior. He did not talk about the relationship between master and apprentice, but only talked about his official position. In order to repay Minglan for delivering the news, father is more important than daughter, and Sheng Hong has been promoted to the fourth rank.

Censor of Zuo Qiandu.

It's just that Sheng Hong didn't know the real purpose of Xie Yu's trip, otherwise he would be angry.

On the surface Xie Yu was paying a visit to his teacher Sheng Hong, but secretly he sent Bu Wei to test Minglan's intentions.

Take Shulan and her daughter and ask them to visit the Sheng family's grandmother first.

Sheng Hong invited Xie Yu to the study, and finally couldn't help but said curiously: "Xie Yu, tell me the truth, how do you see clearly that Zhao Tuanlian of Yuzhou is the real candidate for the crown prince."

"Don't tell me lies. I want to listen to your truth. You had such a foresight three years ago. I have been tossing and turning these days. This doubt must be revealed."

Xie Yu had already expected Sheng Hong's doubts, but judging from Sheng Hong's attitude, his curiosity was indeed quite high.

So Xie Yu argued sophistically: "Zhuang Xuejun once asked the students in the school how to establish a long-term relationship and establish a virtuous person. At that time, he concluded with Minglan's pure minister's words, which is naturally excellent."

"The teacher also walked out of the palace safely because of Chunchen's words."

"Although the student didn't say a word at that time, he still understood the words of the pure minister. It was the best arrangement for us ministers, especially Qingliu."

"It's just that students also understand that with their background and knowledge, if they want to go further up the ladder, they have to take a risk."

"This is indeed a selfish statement made by the student. I did not discuss it with the teacher at the time. I hope the teacher will not mind it."

Sheng Hong touched his beard and said, "You, continue talking."

Xie Yu: "Thank you very much for your teacher's care and giving me the opportunity to work in the Ministry of Industry for more than a year, and then to observe politics in the Sixth Department."

"The student discovered something. Although it is a bit disrespectful, in terms of talent, today's officials are no more than qualified."

Sheng Honggang said "Alas...".

Xie Yu quickly changed the subject and said, "But because of this, the current Holy Master is a very self-aware person."

"If you don't accumulate steps, you won't be able to reach a thousand miles. If you drive ten horses, you will never give up."

"After forty years of imperial career, he was a benevolent and prudent official, and he was also an extremely official person. He succeeded to the throne from the Holy One, and everything he did, whether it was a success or a failure, was all for the sake of the Holy One.

Great Zhou Jiangshan."

"Since your Majesty is so great for the great Zhou Dynasty, why don't you establish a crown prince?"

"Soon the students came up with a bold idea. After research and judgment by the students, King Yong and King Yan were the candidates for the throne in the minds of the ministers, but they were not the candidates in the minds of the emperor."

"Although there is a saying that His Majesty has no children, it is more for the great Zhou Jiangshan Sheji."

"It's just that the matter of the central government and the central government has been debated for many years. Many ministers have to take a stand, or they may be proactive, but most of them are passive."

"This matter has naturally affected the government. Although King Yan is eager to launch a coup, it is natural that King Yan also expected something, or he may not be destined for the throne."

"But after what happened, His Majesty Rende also understood in his heart that many of his ministers only agreed to the crime and did not really rebel."

"This is also the main reason why although I ransacked homes, I did not kill people, and reserved some farms and roads for them to take the imperial examination, which was approved by the Holy One."

Sheng Hong: "Xie Yu, although you didn't kill them, ransacking their homes and confiscating their fields, houses and shops was actually going too far. Have you ever thought about how they will live in the future, as they are all former colleagues? What a chilling act...

"

Xie Yu: "The students know, but there is nothing they can do about it. The teacher is in the court, and even though he is not in the Ministry of Household Affairs, he knows that the suppression of the rebellion in the south has consumed too much money and food in the court."

"In addition, this time the rebellion in the palace is suppressed, according to the old military regulations, reward money, departure fees, victory money must be paid, as well as the cost of repairing the damaged palace."

"The teacher has also worked in the Ministry of Industry for many years. Not only these students, but also the teacher should know that these expenses are estimated to be a large sum of money. Where does the money and food come from?"

"Of course, there is another reason. Of course, if the meritorious officials of the prince's lineage do not clean up the judges, how can they free up their seats and receive rewards? The students are also the beneficiaries, and they can only lick their faces in shame."

Sheng Hong naturally understood that this was why Xianggong Han usually had a loud voice. After Xie Yuzhuo came down, although he criticized a lot, it was just criticism. The court was short of money!

Moreover, many of the current court officials have not forgotten the precarious feeling they had in those days.

When Sheng Hong heard Xie Yu's explanation, he nodded and said: "Don't mention this in advance, you continue to tell me why you chose the current prince. He is not from the Taizong lineage, but just a fifth-grade regiment trainer from the Taizu lineage.

of."

Xie Yu: "That's true. According to common sense, the emperor should choose from the Taizong lineage."

"It's just that the matter of establishing a crown prince has been unresolved for many years. King Yan and King Yong were fighting openly and secretly in the court, and Taizong's line also took sides. Not only has it greatly affected the government, but it has also made Taizong's lineage eager for quick success."

"On the contrary, not only was Taizu's line suppressed overtly and covertly, but they were also disliked by courtiers and civil servants."

"But it was in this difficult situation that the lineage of the Taizu came to light. The current crown prince is very valuable."

"Teacher, you should know the current prince's official career, right?"

Sheng Hong: "I know it."

Xie Yu: "The teacher should have noticed that the current prince likes to work hard personally!"

Sheng Hong: "Of course I know. Not only do I know, but I also know that every year..., could it be..."

Xie Yu: "Indeed, the teacher Qing Chuan was born in the family. When he was young, he studied hard in Shuyu and didn't know much about farming."

"But you should also know that every year in spring, the emperor has always been involved in farming. Farming is very hard."

"Scientists, farmers, industry and commerce, agriculture ranks second, this can be a tradition."

Sheng Hong: "Xie Yu, is this why you judge that it may be a bit far-fetched for the current prince to compete for the throne?"

Xie Yu nodded and said: "It's indeed far-fetched, and I'm even only one or two points certain. But if you do anything with only ten points, then naturally it won't be the student's turn."

"Moreover, it is just the student's imaginary judgment, so of course I don't dare to talk to the teacher, just for fear that the teacher will laugh."

"Actually, what would the teacher think if the student had told him directly that the student believed that the current crown prince would become the king?"

Sheng Hong opened his mouth but said nothing.

When it comes to official career, it is normal for Sheng Hong to seek stability in his heart. This was also the main reason why Sheng Hong did not help Xie Yu transfer to Yuzhou as agreed at that time, even though Xie Yu had made great political achievements in Youyang County.

Although Sheng Hong's starting point of seeking stability was not wrong at the time, judging from the results, it was Sheng Hong who failed Xie Yu first.

Even though the two of them have some disagreements now, they understand that both sides have value, so some words should not be criticized.

From today, Xie Yu only brought Shulan and Shulan's daughter to visit the Sheng family. Sheng Hong knew that Xie Yu considered herself a student and was visiting her uncle.

Sheng Hong was also secretly lucky that he originally asked Shulan to remarry Xie Yu. Although it went against the ancestral teachings of the Sheng family that his daughter should not be a concubine, considering that Xie Yu had been planning for his counselor in the past two years and for the Changbai plan, he hesitated.

Sheng Hong also voted in favor.

From this point of view, what he did at that time was absolutely right. Now that Xie Yu is his student and his niece-in-law, the Sheng family can also enjoy Xie Yu's official reputation and glory.

A few days ago, there were many former colleagues like Xie Yuzhu who were related by marriage, and they made mistakes in taking sides.

I learned that Sheng Hong's niece Sheng Shulan was Xie Yu's common wife and had a daughter. I heard that Xie Yu also doted on her.

Naturally, he had a crooked idea and wanted to place some wealth in the Sheng family as capital for a comeback.

At this time, Sheng Changbai, who had been entrusted by Xie Yu, was pushed back without Sheng Hong's instructions.

On the contrary, those daughters of noble families want to rely on the Sheng family.

Xie Yu wrote a note, saying that as long as he did not take away his belongings and get married within a time limit, Xie Yu turned a blind eye.
