The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

Chapter 152 Going through the back door

After Han Xu left, Shen Jia put it down after a few mouthfuls of food. He revised the memorial again, put it in his sleeve and took it home.

Back at Shen's Mansion, I saw Zhao Zhang's uncle and nephew admiring the moon in the courtyard with his family, and there was a band beside them. It was really refreshing.

Seeing him, Zhao Zhang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did you come back so late?"

Shen Jia threw the playbook into his arms, leaned over and whispered: "Please trouble the emperor for a while, and help me to look at this plan."

Zhao Zhang stuffed the notebook into his arms, patted it, and agreed with a smile: "Okay, have you eaten yet? Do you want the kitchen to bring you some more food?"

"Yes, I only stuffed my stomach just now, you must have never imagined that someone went to look for me just now." Shen Jia took a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth and said.

Zhao Zhang didn't have the heart to tell him that he had arranged a few hidden guards around him. As long as he wanted to know about him, he would know everything about him, but usually he would not specifically ask about Shen Jia's whereabouts.

He showed great curiosity and asked, "Who is it?"

"The last time we went to the secret road at night and saved a person, remember?"

"Of course, why hasn't he left Chang'an yet?" Zhao Zhang didn't want to see the replacements that were brought in at all. According to his thinking, such people should all be resolved, so as to avoid more troubles in the future. .

"He is injured and needs to recuperate, but he should be in good condition."

"What are you looking for?"

"She said she wanted to stay by my side, hehe, I don't know if it's true or false."

Zhao Zhang shook his head, "Leave this matter alone, I will arrange it properly." How could he let such a person stay by Shen Jia's side?Regardless of whether the other party has ulterior motives or not, he cannot be allowed to stay in Chang'an City.

Seeing the two sitting next to each other and whispering to each other, other people in the Shen residence felt a little unnatural at first. On weekdays, Zhao Zhang seldom left the courtyard, and he didn’t have much time to come out, so except for Shen’s mother, the others didn’t know how their daily relationship was. such a situation.

Zhao Ting was playing football with a few children. He was stunned when he saw the posture of the two people here. He was precocious. Although he didn't understand the relationship between men and women, he could understand it. So shocking.

Maybe it was because his gaze was too straightforward, Zhao Zhang glanced back at him, then withdrew his gaze lightly, then moved his hand from Shen Jia's waist to his shoulder.

Zhao Ting swallowed his saliva, and suddenly understood the true relationship between the two. He used to know that the two were close, but he only thought it was because of mutual sympathy. It turned out that he had misread it. No wonder the emperor's uncle was very close to the Shen family. No wonder he was anxious to establish himself as the prince, no wonder the relationship between the emperor's grandmother and the emperor's uncle was getting worse and worse, and even the eldest aunt was sent to marry him.

The smile on Zhao Ting's face disappeared, and he couldn't accept such a thing all of a sudden, a ball hit his head and knocked him to the ground with a "bang".

"Ah, Brother Ting..." The little ones surrounded him in fright, and the adults over there also ran over when they saw Zhao Ting fell to the ground.

When Zhao Ting came back to his senses and looked at the sincere and concerned eyes of the Shen family, he was suddenly relieved.

What does it matter who the emperor likes to be with?As a junior, he has no right to question his choice, not to mention that the Shen family is all so good, he is even happier to be part of a family, and will be able to communicate more legitimately in the future.

"I'm fine." Zhao Ting got up, patted his buttocks, and touched his forehead again. There was a big swelling, but he didn't feel any pain at all, instead he smiled happily.

The children cried out in fright, "It's over, it's over, brother Ting has become stupid! Huh..."

Such childish words made the adults burst into laughter, Shen Jia touched the bump on his head, and ordered someone to take the medicine for reducing swelling and promoting blood circulation and apply it on him.

"It's okay, it's just a small injury." Zhao Zhang flicked Zhao Ting's head, asked people to take a few children down to rest, and then accompanied Shen Jia to have a supper before going back to the room.

When Shen Jia went to take a bath, Zhao Zhang sat in the study and read Shen Jia's memorial. It was a thick book, and it was a detailed and well-organized plan in Shen Jia's style. After reading the whole article, he could already fully understand Shen Jia's thoughts. .

Seeing Shen Jia coming out in pajamas, Zhao Zhang sighed: "If the memorials of the court officials could be written so clearly, I wouldn't have a headache every day when I read the memorials."

"This is for you to read in private. It should be easy to understand. If I want to present it to the cabinet for review, I dare not write it like this." Shen Jia went to him and sat down, asking Zhao Zhang to wipe his hair .

His hair is not considered long, it only reaches the midline of the back, usually tied up and no difference can be seen, but when it is down, it is black and slippery, which is a rare good hair quality.

Zhao Zhang was willing to serve him, and couldn't put it down with such black and smooth hair. After the hair was wrung out, he carried Shen Jia into the inner room and had an in-depth exchange.

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Jia put on his official uniform and went to the court, and saw Zhao Zhang had left his memorial on the table. When he opened it, Zhao Zhang's instructions and private seal had been written on it. It seemed that the most important A level has been passed.

In the early morning, Zhao Zhang solemnly announced the matter, and asked Honglu Temple, Shuntian Mansion, and the Ministry of Households to send a few people to help, obviously to support Shen Jia.

The ministers bowed their heads and said nothing. Before the emperor agreed, they could refute whatever they wanted, but if the emperor agreed, it would be inappropriate for them to object.

Xu Shoufu is no longer surprised by the strangeness, but he still has a question, or he has a guess in his heart. The two must have some special way of communication. After Shen Jia went out from the palace yesterday, he only walked around the city before returning. The yamen is gone, and he has never entered the palace since then, and Shen's mansion, who only returned at night, has never seen him leave the mansion. So, how did the emperor know such detailed content of the memorabilia?The cabinet has not received this memorial, it is only possible that Shen Jia gave it to the emperor privately.

I heard that Shen Jia had been writing behind closed doors in the yamen yesterday, and this was what he wanted to write, so could he deduce that the two should be together at night?

Could it be...Xu Shoufu came to a conclusion, which was both shocking and expected. No wonder he always felt that the two of them didn't spend much time together. It turned out that they secretly communicated with each other, and it must have been more than a day or two.

He stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, regarding the secret passages in the city, the old minister thinks that we should speed up the restoration, not only the ones that have been discovered, but also send more people to find other secret passages, otherwise they will be easily used by thieves to commit illegal activities." , by then it will be too late to make a big mistake!"

Chen Shilang from the Ministry of Industry hurriedly stepped forward to answer: "Don't worry, Mr. Shoufu, the Ministry of Industry has been supervising this matter, but it was a bit slow because it was going to be transformed into a sewer. What you said is not unreasonable. The lower officials will send someone to Find the remaining secret passages."

"It's so good, especially the place near the imperial city, we must check it first, so as not to threaten the safety of the imperial city."

"Your Majesty understands."

Zhao Zhang squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Shoufu for a few times, his expression was as usual, and then looked at Shen Jia as if he had nothing to do with him, and suddenly felt that finding such a person to live with was both good and bad. , the disadvantage is that you are too steady, leaving no room for yourself.

After the court was over, Shen Jia was surrounded by a group of officials to congratulate him. Some said that he was extremely efficient, some said that he had a very good relationship with the emperor, and some satirized him for going through the back door. No matter what, Shen Jia could always They are not comparable to achieving what they want, it is luck and ability!

The officials of the Ministry of Industry suddenly found themselves busy. In the past, although the official affairs of the Ministry of Industry were complicated, they were all small things.

But since Mr. Shen entered the Ministry of Industry, the atmosphere has changed accordingly. It is not an exaggeration to say that "the new official takes office three fires", but because Shen Jia has upheld justice for them since he came, he owes them everywhere. The money, and even spoke harsh words to the entire imperial court for them, everyone was very grateful.

What's more, what Shen Shilang has done is admirable. It seems to be small, but it has benefited a lot of people. Now they go out and say that they are officials of the Ministry of Industry, and they are especially loved.

On this day, spring was in full swing, the wind was clear and the moon was bright, and the residents of the shanty town were suddenly called together by the government servants, and were forced to listen to some vague words.

What does it mean that the imperial court wants to renovate the North City and demolish their houses?

What do you mean they will soon be able to live in a bright and spacious new house?

What is the government's recruitment of craftsmen? Anyone with sound hands and feet who is not afraid of hard work can apply, and there is no limit to men or women?

"Am I crazy or the government is crazy?" Someone asked in shock.

"The imperial court actually spent money to build a new house for us? Is there such a good thing?"

"Didn't you hear what they said? The new house is only allocated to us. The deed and land deed are all from the government. If we want to live here, we have to pay rent to the government every year. A year...a tael of silver a year. It's so cheap. What good house is there?"

"One tael is not much for people outside, but which of us living here is not a poor family? What if we can't get this tael?"

"That's right. We won't move. We live in a good place now. At least we have a piece of cloth to cover the rain. If we lose this shelter, we will really end up on the streets."

"That's right, we can't move. Who knows if the government deliberately tricked us into taking our place when we moved. It's not like this kind of thing has never happened before!"

"It's horrible, what are you trying to do? Even if what you said is true, where will we live before the house is built? It's only March, aren't you afraid we'll freeze to death?"

The people were so emotional that they didn't listen to the explanation at all. Some people even took tools to attack the yamen servants, and the scene was chaotic.

In a teahouse not far from here, a group of students just happened to see this scene, and a short, black-faced scholar said with emotion: "I thought the government was clean under the emperor's feet, but I didn't expect it to be so chaotic."

Another scholar also continued: "These people only dare to bully the common people. The people who suffer will always be the lowest level. When I become an official in high school, I must eliminate harm for the people!"

Someone came back after inquiring about the news, and told about the renovation of the North City, and said that it would be transformed into a trade city for merchants to trade.

The students had only a half-knowledge, thinking that the imperial court wanted to drive the people away just to make room for humble businessmen, and they were all indignant.

"I don't know which stupid official made the decision. It must have taken advantage of it. Should we publicize this matter?"

"Of course, if you risk being kicked out of the palace during the palace examination, you have to reveal this matter. The emperor is wise and mighty, so he must be kept in the dark."

"Which stupid official did that?"

Someone identified the Ministry of Industry officials from the crowd, and sent people out to investigate, and soon found out the answer.

"It's Mr. Shen, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry."

"Hiss...Master Shen Jiashen?"

"Yes."

"This...hehe, a misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding!"

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back to study early, and we'll be going to the palace test soon."

"Let's go..."
