Dressed as cannon fodder to raise cubs for the villain prince [Transmigration Book]

The queen picked up another song and said,

"Repeatedly,

Reserved daughter attitude.

I can't bear to see,

Only one hearted person. "

"This poem was written by Princess Anyang."

The Son of Heaven couldn't help but frowned slightly. He was obviously not very happy with this poem, and felt that it was a bit too petty. If it was a daughter of a minister's family, he might not care about it. Some young daughters are quite good-natured, but as a princess, he still hopes more. Like the two eldest princesses, she has the grace and calmness that a princess should have.

The queen knew what he was thinking by looking at the emperor's expression.But the emperor's own daughter, he can be dissatisfied, but he can't tolerate criticism from others, so he laughed and said, "This poem by Anyang puts the peony mood and the daughter's thoughts together, but it is also good."

"It seems that the concubine's dereliction of duty, the princesses are getting old, it's time to recruit a concubine."

The queen opened her mouth, and the emperor walked up the steps and said, "Since the queen thinks it is good, let's decide on the two songs of Anyang and Lu Xiang's girl." It sounded very reluctant, as if it was for the sake of the queen. Reluctantly complied.

Everyone just didn't know, and they all echoed and complimented.

In the end, the emperor asked the prince to choose another one, and Chen Mingyi's peony poem was also listed as the top three.As mentioned earlier, the emperor and the empress rewarded the first three prizes for writing poems to the top three in the literati Jinshi group and the top three in the women's group.

After the peony poem, several kabuki performances by the Jiaofang Division were performed, which were magnificent and pleasing to the ears, and soon the moon was in the sky, and the Qionglin Banquet came to the end of the time.

······

On the Duanya Mountain outside Qinzhou Pass, a bright moon hangs in the night sky.Shen Mo sat on the top of the mountain with his knees wide, one hand propped on the ground, the other holding the jug, made a salute to the bright moon, took a big gulp for himself, and murmured, "Brother, congratulations on your number one prize!"

Yan Jiu stood behind him, with the wind blowing from the cliff, her robe fluttered, and she said in a voice that could not bear it, "The door master has been waiting for you for a long time."

Shen Mo's voice was a bit ethereal, "Is Mieyun Project about to start?"

"You are still young, there is no need to follow us on this road of no return. Your mother—I hope you are safe and well."

"What about you, Master? Why did you choose this path?"

Yan Jiu's voice paused, "Master's kindness to me is as great as a mountain. Without Master, I, Yan Jiu, would have died in a wilderness. My only wish in this life is to take revenge for Master."

"Even my mother can't stop you?"

Yan Jiu: "If I succeed in my life, I will stay by Yunniang's side for the rest of my life, and I won't leave even if she chases me away."

"Master refuses to give up, so what right do I have to give up?"

"You—" He wanted to persuade Shen Mo not to involve himself in it because of old grievances. When what happened back then, he was not even born yet, so what has it to do with him.But he couldn't say that, he had the blood of his master, if he said it didn't matter, he felt sorry for his master.He himself was also extremely contradictory, and would rather use his body to go to death for Shen Mo, but he couldn't stop him.

······

Three days later, Shen Chu officially took office at Zhongshu Province.

The Zhongshu Province is located in the inner palace, southeast of the main hall, the Daqing Hall. This area is full of government offices in three provinces, six departments and nine temples. It sounds tall. After all, in the inner palace, there are many departments, and it cannot occupy an area. It is too big to obstruct the eyes of the emperor, and there are more than a dozen yamen crowded together, which is really not that spacious.

To the north of the government office area is the Wende Hall.Wende Hall is a complex of palaces, about the same size as Daqing Palace. The Wende Hall is the main hall, with Wende Gate to the south, Drum Tower to the east, and Bell Tower to the west. The palace examination is held in Wende Hall , sometimes Xiaochaohui is also here.

The palace group of Daqing Palace is located on the east side of Wende Palace, and it is the center of the former imperial palace. Every big court meeting or major political affairs and important ceremonies on the first day of the new year are held in Daqing Palace.

In the central government office area to the south of Wende Hall, the southernmost row from west to east is the Privy Council, Zhongshu Sheng, Dutang, and Menxia Province. The Dutang includes Shangshu Sheng and Liubu, and the second row in the north is Jiusi Government Office .

Zhongshu Province is responsible for drafting imperial edicts and using seals according to the emperor's will.Menxia Province is mainly responsible for reviewing government orders, the chief is Li Zhong, the left minister, and Shangshu Province is mainly responsible for managing government affairs, and the chief is Yin Huan, the right minister.Compared with the three provinces, Zhongshu Province has much greater real power, and Menxia Province seems to have great power in reviewing government orders, but most of Zhongshu Province's government orders come from the emperor, and Menxia Province's authority is mostly a mere formality.

Of course, if the master is weak and the minister is strong, especially if the master is young, and the interests of the aristocratic family and the party are competing, the province will also greatly restrain the Zhongshu Province.However, Emperor Yun holds great power, so there is basically no such situation at present.Shangshusheng is equivalent to the comprehensive leadership and executive agency of the six ministries, and its form is not as good as Zhongshusheng and Menxia Shengqing.

The Privy Council is the highest military institution, which consists of soldiers, officials, households, and rites, which greatly divides the military power of the prime minister and the Ministry of War.The Privy Council is in charge of military registration and tiger talismans, and the Sanya (Dianqian Division, Guard Horse Army Division, and Guard Infantry Division) is in charge of the princes, including the Imperial Army, Frontier Army, and Xiang Army. The management is managed by the Ministry of War, and other things such as weapon manufacturing and logistics management are also in the Ministry of War.

······

Shen Chu arrived at Dianmao of Zhongshu Province on time early in the morning, and the courtiers had not yet come to the court.From a distance, I saw a fat middle-aged man standing at the door, and when I approached, I saw this man rolling over like a ball, with a rich face, a large sky, a round earth, and two eyes shining brightly. But it was obvious that his physical strength was not very good, and he kept sweating on his forehead for a while, and kept wiping.

He squinted his eyes, put his hands in his sleeves, bowed his body slightly, and smiled warmly at him, "Shen Zhuangyuan, right? Prime Minister Lu told me earlier that it would be worthwhile for you to come today. "

"Ms. Lu asked Shen Zhuangyuan to familiarize himself with the affairs of the Ministry of Education in Kongmu's house during this period of time, and then Sun Yuanjing is the owner of Kongmu's house."

It stands to reason that Mr. Sun is a sixth-rank official, and from the current point of view, he is Shen Chu's direct superior, so there is absolutely no need to flatter him so much.

Shen Chu waited in his heart, he didn't dare to take it too seriously, and said respectfully, "I'm an official, Shen Chu, if there's anything I don't understand in the future, I hope Master Sun can give me some advice."

He felt the taste in his heart in an instant.This Sun Yuanjing, who looked to be in his forties, should have been in the yamen for decades, had long since slipped away, and he was definitely a genius among human beings.It may seem unremarkable to be the head of the Kongmu Office of Zhongshu Province, but how many important government orders in the world have to be handled, and if you have no ability, you can't sit in this position.But at this age, with such an official position, it is basically impossible to go up.

If another person came to this Kongmu room, basically there would be no second person who could enjoy Shen Chu's treatment.There is no other reason, if it is a son of a wealthy family, who is more noble than him, there is no need to deal with a person like him, and he has no part in currying favor with him, if it is the number one scholar from a poor family, the ancestral grave smokes and is assigned here, A person like Sun Yuanjing doesn't need to be so flattering at all, regardless of whether the No. [-] scholar has a bright future in the future.

If there is no other opportunity, by the time the No. [-] pick goes higher, a person like him may have gone home for retirement. Of course, there have been more No. [-] No. [-] picks throughout the ages.

Shen Chu couldn't help sighing, the two words of the emperor and the queen mother are very useful, don't care if he is a fake phoenix, anyway, he pulled up two big banners, up to civil and military officials, down to these ghosts and snakes, at least everyone on the face of him saw him. Be polite and make his day a lot easier.

The smile on Sun Yuanjing's face became more obvious, and he stepped forward to hold Shen Chu's arm more enthusiastically, and pulled him into the Zhongshu Provincial Yamen, and said warmly, "Don't dare, Shen Zhuangyuan can come to us This Kongmu room is simply full of splendor."

Shen Chu is not very good at warming up these scenes, but he can still say a few modest words, but he can't help complaining in his heart, feeling tired.

The location of Zhongshu Sheng is a three-story red wall, green tiles and double eaves on the top of a hard hill. It looks passable on the outside. Although it is not as grand and magnificent as the palace of the emperor and empress, it should look quite spacious.

After entering, Shen Chu realized that he was wrong.There is a landscape screen in the middle hall, two chairs are placed in front of the screen, and a desk in the middle, the space separated is quite limited.The two sides behind the screen are full of wooden shelves, on which there are various scrolls, the light is not very good, and it is drowsy.The sunlight finally came in through the window, and you could still see the years of dust floating in the air.

Except for the Chief Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the first floor is basically the officials of Kongmufang.The other four rooms are on both sides of the second and third floors, and the middle is basically a wooden shelf for displaying scrolls.Officials, households, military rites, and punishments, as the name suggests, are in charge of these five government orders and systems. Because military rites have relatively few daily affairs, they are combined into one place.

The Kongmu Room was originally the place to manage the files, but it also had comprehensive affairs, and it was necessary to understand the government affairs of the other four houses, so the chief who managed the Kongmu Room was often more useful.In other words, Kongmufang is equivalent to the current office.

Director Sun took Shen Chu to a room in the northwest corner. There were already two young officials sitting in it, who seemed to be only a few years older than him, and they were busy writing.

After seeing Master Sun, he immediately stood up respectfully and saluted.

Director Sun went in and said with a smile, "This is Shen Chu, the champion of the new department, who was appointed by the emperor as the Minister of Zhongshu. He is the seventh rank. Mr. Lu, please come to us first to get acquainted."

Director Sun pointed to the tall and thin one and introduced to Shen Chu, "This is Wu Lian, who also came from the second-class biography."

Pointing to the shorter ones, he said, "This is Chang Ming, the adopted son of Eunuch Chang."

Several people greeted each other, and Director Sun ordered Chang Ming to find some scrolls for Shen Chu, let him get acquainted first, and then left.

The three exchanged pleasantries, Wu Lian and Chang Ming's case was full of volumes, it seemed obvious that there were a lot of things to do, and soon they buried the case and went to work again.Chang Ming swiftly found a few drafts of previous memorials, and threw them to Shen Chu to read first.

After receiving these at the beginning, Shen Chu was still a little dazed, as if there were a lot of things, but he could only get an overview on the surface, and had to take his time.He was not in a hurry at all, and carefully read the things Chang Ming gave him, and then asked Mr. Sun for a token, and went directly to the wooden shelf where the scrolls were stored to look for things by himself.

If there is no one else to lead the introduction, you will definitely be confused when you come across these scrolls. After all, there are so many scrolls, but it is even more difficult to find the key and important things that can be helpful. Basically, it can be said that is unlikely.

But he has the 007 bug.Mao Tuan may not be reliable in many other things, but he has a system scanning memory function, which can store all the things Shen Chu has seen, and it also has an engine search function.Of course, under normal circumstances, this kind of engine search function is free, but you need to pay for key information or high-value information, and some related to the world plot line, it is encryption level, and payment is not allowed.

Now this function can be used very well.The scrolls stored in Kongmufang are all handwritten, even in neat lowercase letters, you can't write a few words on a page, and a scroll can't be bound by the Empress Dowager, so it doesn't take much time to finish flipping through it.

In one morning, Shen Chu was able to turn over a quarter of a wooden shelf.

Of course, in the eyes of the old man who manages the files, Shen Chu is just looking at the flowers and not being practical. It's the first day of reading things like this. I don't believe that he can learn anything at all. On the contrary, I feel that he is not down-to-earth at all. .

The lunch was delivered by the Shangshi Bureau. The Six Shang Bureau of Dianzhong Province is located on the northeast side of the Daqing Hall. It is still a little far away from them. Every time the food is delivered, it is not too hot. If you are more particular, you will get a small stove to heat it up. , but most of them are rough men, and the weather is not very cold now, so they ate directly with warm meals.

There is a nap time of about half an hour during the lunch break, and you can stroll around the small garden after eating.Between Zhongshusheng and Dutang, there is an old pagoda tree that is hundreds of years old. It is surrounded by various flowers and winding paths. There are flowers blooming in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the outer layer is layered with bamboo forests. , the wind passed through rustling.I have to say that the greening is quite good.

At the beginning of the Wei Dynasty, he was about to continue to dig through the scrolls and carry out his own scanning and collection work, but was called away by Lu Xiang.

Lu Xiang's study room is on the southeast corner of the first floor. In addition to Lu Xiang, there are two Tongpingzhang governors in Zhongshu Province. One is Tao Yuan and the other is Dou Qi. Both are third-rank officials, and Lu Xiang is the second-rank official.Everyone has always respectfully referred to the two as Tao Xiang and Dou Xiang. Tao Xiang is a little older and will retire in a few years. Dou Xiang is only in his early forties and is Lu Xiang's right-hand man.

Lu Xiang was over [-] years old, he was a vigorous and thin old man, with a gray goatee, protruding cheekbones, no flesh in his cheeks, and small eyes, but they seemed to be shining.Seeing Shen Chu laughing, he said, "After today's morning court, Your Majesty mentioned you to the old man, and cared for you. You are still young, work hard, and don't let Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager love you."

Then he threw the two old brochures in his hands to him, "This is a brochure of some important affairs last year, and this is some more important affairs recently, you should take them to familiarize yourself with them, and you can follow them when you have nothing to do. By the old man's side, see more and learn more."

Shen Chu should be respectful.He felt a little confused, and wondered if he was lucky. On the first day he was on duty, he could get a personal recommendation from his immediate superior, and he would be able to follow directly by his immediate superior in the future. The treatment with the emperor's care is different. .

Before leaving, Lu Xiang hesitated a little and said, "I wonder if Mr. Shen knows the little girl?"

Shen Chu asked strangely, "Is it Miss Lu who won the second place in Peony Poetry at the Qionglin Banquet?"

Lu Xiang's eyes lit up, and he felt that there was something going on.

Shen Chu honestly shook his head and said, "The lower officials don't know about it."

Lu Xiang seemed to choke, thinking of his little daughter who was pestering him at home, and seeing Shen Chu's ignorant appearance, he couldn't help wrinkling his face, and waved him to leave first.

Shen Chu looked suspicious, and had a bad premonition in his heart, how could Xiang Lu mention Miss Lu for no reason?Don't say that women in this world value Qing Yu, and with Lu Xiang's character of loving his daughter, he would not casually talk about his daughter to a foreigner, unless, unless he intends to betroth his daughter to him.

With this thought in his head, Shen Chu couldn't help shivering. He was lamenting the good deed of the officer for making a small fuss, but in a blink of an eye, he realized that they didn't want to train him to be a capable subordinate at all, but wanted to make him a quick-witted son-in-law. Woolen cloth.In this way, Lu Xiangcai's excessive gestures of goodwill are justified.

After all, everyone in Bianjing City knows that Lu Xiang is upright and honest, has great knowledge, and never associates with parties, so he is especially trusted by Emperor Yun.He has two sons under his knees, both of whom are married and have children now, only one daughter is still waiting in his boudoir, she is only twenty-eight years old, that is, Lu Wan.

At Lu Xiang's age, Lu Wan can be considered an old woman, and she is also the youngest daughter.Lu Xiang has always been a strict person, but there is no way to deal with this daughter, and he has no daughter. He never dared to give the moon if he wanted the stars.However, although Lu Wan has been loved and loved since she was a child, she is not a big problem except for being a bit petite and self-willed.

In fact, as far as Lu Xiang is concerned, he doesn't like Shen Chu very much. Although Shen Chu's talent, learning and character are all right, and he doesn't value his family background very much, but the key is that Shen Chu already has a son. As a mother, Lu Xiang didn't want his daughter to be wronged.In his opinion, the most important thing to find a husband with good talent, learning and character is to be good to his daughter. It is worse not to be married than to be at home.

But this daughter of his was determined to focus on Shen Chu, and even said that he would not marry, Lu Xiang regretted it, and felt that she should not be soft-hearted for a moment, and took her daughter to the Qionglin banquet.In fact, he himself quite likes Fan Yong. He thinks that although this kid's family background is a bit ordinary, he has no problem learning as a talent, and he will treat his daughter well in the future.But it's not that he is married, so what can he do, he can only fight this old face for his daughter.

But looking at Shen Chu's appearance, he doesn't even seem to know what his daughter looks like, let alone interested in it. He still doesn't want his daughter to marry Shen Chu who has a cub, and feels that he can still fight for Fan Yong.

Naturally, Shen Chu didn't know about Lu Xiang's meticulous mental activities. He just thought that he should try to avoid misunderstandings in the future. He had no interest in Lu Xiang's daughter.

After reading the two booklets given by Lu Xiang in the afternoon, Shen Chu went to the scroll room to look around again, and soon it was time to be on duty.

A few days ago, the three of them had moved into the Sanjin courtyard bestowed by the emperor.This courtyard is just outside the Xihua Gate, less than a mile away, and it takes only a quarter of an hour to ride a carriage every day.Originally, he thought that he wouldn't need a carriage at such a short distance, but thinking about wearing an official uniform every day, going out early and returning late every day, and ostentatiously passing through the market, it was too attention-grabbing.

He packed up his few things, and as soon as he walked to the door, he found Eunuch Zhang waiting there, and respectfully said to him, "Master Shen, the Empress Dowager called you over for dinner."

Shen Chu was hesitant, thinking that today would be the first day, Mother Shen and Zai Zai were waiting at home, Mother Shen also said that she would have a big meal tonight.

Eunuch Zhang is indeed a fine person, he looked up at Shen Chu's expression, and knew what he was worried about, and said, "The Empress Dowager thinks the palace is deserted, so she called your son into the palace."

"You don't know, the cleverness of your son, the old queen mother liked it very much at first sight, and the smile on her face hasn't come down all day."

Shen Chu was suspicious in his heart, wondering how the Queen Mother would summon Zai Zai into the palace.No matter what, it is necessary to go to the Qingshou Palace.

After exiting the Fuya District of the Three Provinces and Six Ministries, turn left into the palace road, go straight through the former court, and pass two palace gates before arriving at the Qingshou Palace.Behind the Daqing Hall is the Zichen Hall, which is the sleeping hall of the emperor, and behind the Zichen Hall is the Qingshou Hall.There is a palace wall to the west, which is where the concubine's palace is located. Therefore, when the ministers go to the Zichen Palace to face the saint, or the queen mother summons the living family of King Yun, they will rarely collide with the concubines in the harem.

It took about a quarter of an hour before Eunuch Zhang brought Shen Chu to the Hall of Birthday Ceremony, and he heard Zai Zai's creaking laughter from afar.Seeing the Queen Mother, Shen Chu hurriedly saluted and apologized, "The naughty dog ​​has disturbed the Queen Mother's cleanliness, and I hope the Queen Mother will punish her."

The Queen Mother laughed and said, "Ai's family and Zai Zai are predestined, and they fell in love with each other at first sight. Children just need to be more lively."

Seeing his father, Zai Zai jumped over happily, hugged Shen Chu's thigh and said, "Daddy, Daddy, the Empress Dowager Grandma has a lot of fun and delicious food here, Zai Zai likes it."

Madam Wan teased him, "Does Zai Zai like the Empress Dowager Grandma?"

Zai Zai nodded vigorously, and said seriously with a small face, "I like it!"

Shen Chu thought, well, you brat is better at hugging thighs than your father.He didn't know what kind of whim the Queen Mother had, why she suddenly wanted to call Zai Zai into the palace.It seems that he has more than enough favors for Zai Zai, but Zai Zai is such a small child, and the relationship with the queen mother is not very close. Being called into the palace alone still makes him feel uneasy.But the Empress Dowager Yizhi, his mother would not be able to stop it, Shen Chu was actually a little displeased.

Soon, Madam Wan ordered someone to bring out the dinner.Just as he was seated, Shen Chu thought that everyone was already there, but he didn't expect the Queen Mother to ask, "That child, Xiao Wu, hasn't arrived yet?"

Madam Wan respectfully said, "Just now the palace servants called, saying that His Highness Fifth Highness will be here soon."

Shen Chu asked strangely, which one is the fifth prince?Could it be King Yun's fifth brother? It's impossible to think about it. It couldn't be Li Di.Thinking of this possibility, his heart couldn't help beating a little faster.

In a blink of an eye, Wan Momo smiled and said, "Look, Queen Mother, I'm just talking, the Fifth Highness will be here soon?"

Shen Chu raised his eyes and saw that it was indeed Li Di. He was wearing royal blue uniforms, his thin lips were slightly pursed, his brows were drawn into his temples, and his long and narrow red phoenix eyes seemed to cover thousands of hills and ravines. One glance couldn't help but make his heart burn. .
