The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

Zhao Zhang blocked Shen Jia's mouth. At first, he just didn't want to hear him say anything that would hurt others or himself. This mouth was too powerful. He was afraid that he would not be able to bear it. If Shen Jia used the old rhetoric again, he would I really want to kill someone.

But kissing and kissing, all the good memories of the past came out, Zhao Zhang couldn't help wanting more, put his hands on Shen Jia's waist and kept kneading.

Shen Jia was reasonably sensible, knowing that it was an outdoor day, and it would be embarrassing to be seen by others, but he was really reluctant to let go of the other party, and after finally getting the sweetness, he was more excited than Zhao Zhang.

He hooked Zhao Zhang's neck with both hands, and took the initiative to deepen the kiss. It seemed that there was only each other's breathing and heartbeat in the world, and his mind went blank. Shen Jia had no choice but to push Zhao Zhang away until there was no oxygen in his chest.

Zhao Zhang hadn't kissed enough yet, so he gave Shen Jia a chance to catch his breath and pulled him back. After going back and forth several times, Shen Jia's legs were so weak that he might not be able to leave the palace today, so he had to forcefully push him away. He got out of his arms, wiped his red and swollen lips, and gasped, "You're trying to suffocate me!"

Zhao Zhang pulled off his collar and took a few deep breaths of cold air. Fortunately, it was outside and the temperature was low enough for people to calm down quickly. Otherwise, he really didn't know if he could stop.

"Leave you alone for now." Zhao Zhang said, licking his lips.

Shen Jia snorted arrogantly, and said with a straight face: "Since we've said it, you also know that there was a misunderstanding back then, and you want to start over with me, so the ugly words come first, and you have to promise me a few conditions first."

Zhao Zhang pointed to the chair beside him, told him to sit down, and made a cup of tea with hot water from the small stove on the side, brought it in front of Shen Jia, and jokingly said: "Master Shen moistens his throat and speaks slowly. "

The two of them seemed to have returned to the past, and it became more natural to get along. Shen Jia took the teacup bluntly and blew on it, took a sip of the good tea offered as a tribute, and then said: "First, you and I know that our respective bottom lines are Well, no one can cross the line."

"It's natural." He also reminded Shen Jia intentionally that it was true that Liu Yanwan was gifted to him as his wife, but Shen Jia must not touch her, otherwise he didn't know what he would do.

"Second, I can no longer be the attendant, I have to change my position."

"Why?"

"The favorite is not so easy to be, and he is still a favorite who has no achievements. If you spoil us, you are almost like a male favorite. If our affairs are exposed in the future, you can imagine how outsiders will evaluate me. I don't want to be a A male favorite who will notoriety for thousands of years."

Attendant lecturer is a very serious position, and Shen Jia is not bad at the job. At least he wins the emperor's heart more than other attendant lecturers, and he can also share the emperor's worries. He helps to analyze many unimportant memorials in the imperial study, but What outsiders saw was Master Shen wandering around the imperial study every day, inseparable from the emperor, and even eating at the same table every day, this is the treatment that even a first-rank official does not have.

"Okay, do you have a place you want to go?"

"It's not for no reason. It's not easy for someone to move my seat. You can see where there is a vacancy and fill it."

"Then it will be difficult to meet each other in the future, why don't you change to the position of living man?" Then they will really be inseparable every day.

"No, I don't want to be a peeping mirror, recording how many hairs you lose and how much you urinate every day."

"Hahaha... In this way, you will have the opportunity to erase who I sleep with every day and how many times I sleep with it."

Shen Jia strongly refused, he even felt that the position of Qijulang was perverted, staring at what the emperor ate and did every day, he had no privacy at all.

"Okay, is there a third point?"

Shen Jia thought for a while, then shook her head, "No more, I'll talk about the rest later."

The two sat in the imperial garden for too long, so they had to go back to the imperial study. As soon as the door was closed, Zhao Zhang couldn't help but grabbed him into his arms and kissed and touched him. Press down on the bed.

The next day, the palace issued an imperial decree to transfer Shen Shi to the household department as a doctor, and he was the fifth rank, because Lu Hongbin was directly promoted to be a doctor of the Ministry of Industry before. No more than other places, always eye-catching.

The people who heard it were nothing more than sighing: Sure enough, Mr. Shen is deeply favored.

"Congratulations to Mr. Shen. This is double happiness. You have won a beauty and been promoted to an official position. Mr. Shen has taken care of all the good things." After returning to the Imperial Academy, the first congratulation Shen Jia received was Cui Xiuzhu. Still a little bit weird, but at least he didn't dare to show off in front of Shen Jia.

"Thank you, Master Cui, and I wish you a speedy promotion." Shen Jia replied with a good temper.

Cui Xiuzhu was furious enough, but he didn't dare to offend Shen Jia anymore. As the gap between the two grew wider, Cui Xiuzhu couldn't even feel jealous.

Other colleagues from the Imperial Academy also stepped forward to congratulate Shen Jia, and the imperial decree granted the marriage. There was a lot of discussion behind this matter, but on the surface it was always a happy event.

Several Hanlin students who had a good relationship with Shen Jia pulled him and asked privately: "Master Shen, what does the emperor mean by this? How did he give you a marriage in such a good way? That County Lord Liu..."

Liu Yanwan is a celebrity in Chang'an. Before the Liu family was defeated, Liu Yanwan was the number one beauty in Chang'an. She was sought after by all the sons and daughters. After the Liu family suffered, many people wanted to buy this beautiful girl back to their own homes with money, but it was a pity that she entered the teaching workshop In the end, she entered the palace again. Although she was the lowest-ranked beauty, she was also the emperor's woman, and everyone dared not even think about it.

Unexpectedly, after three years, the emperor would marry this great beauty to his courtiers. Many men who were jealous said sourly: "It's just a broken flower, and the emperor is really not authentic enough. I really want to marry you!" , Is there no suitable candidate among the royal princesses and princesses? I think Shen Jia's popularity is limited."

There are also those who can understand, "Concubine Xian and Song Zhaoyi were released before, and now even Liu Meiren has left the palace, and only Wei Jinrong, who has just been promoted to empress, and Pu Xiufang, who was grounded, are left in the palace. It can be seen that the emperor should be I have a deep-rooted love for the empress, and I will not hesitate to dismiss the harem for her."

"Oh, that's how it is." Everyone deeply felt that this was the truth of the emperor's dismissal of the harem. This was because the emperor and empress played harmoniously, and no other women were allowed to intervene.

What a touching love!

After listening to everyone's questions, Shen Jia was a little embarrassed. It couldn't be that this was the emperor's scheme to cover up Chen Cang. She replied with a guilty conscience: "My lords, please forgive me. I don't know what the emperor thinks. The master of Liu County has a kind heart and can give me a marriage. , is also my honor."

"It's true that people are beautiful and kind-hearted. Standing with Mr. Shen is a perfect couple." Mr. Yang, who had the honor to meet Liu Meiren, said.

"I don't know when is the wedding date? We are going to discuss a wedding wine."

"That's natural. The emperor felt sorry for the loss of the Liu family, and decided to let the county magistrate settle the family down first. It won't be too late to get married when the autumn is clear next year. At that time, my father and family will also arrive in Chang'an."

"The emperor is so merciful!" Everyone sighed, feeling that such an arrangement couldn't be more appropriate. When the time comes, both parties will have no regrets, and the wedding will definitely be more perfect.

Shen Jia was smiling happily, but her heart was already beeping. The real reason was not this, but Zhao Zhang didn't want him to get married too early. If he wasn't really old and couldn't delay for two years, he wished he could set the wedding date at Year after year.

When Shen Jia was promoted to an official, he definitely wanted to entertain the guests well, both old colleagues and new colleagues, so he chose a day with good weather to set up more than a dozen tables in Tianxiang Tower, and there were still many officials who came uninvited , Let him once mistakenly think that he is not going to be a doctor of the Ministry of household affairs, but a minister of the Ministry of household affairs.

During this period, two major events occurred. The first one was that the empress dowager was not feeling well. The emperor was grateful for the boredom of her elderly life in the palace, and ordered the empress-to-be to accompany the empress dowager to Xiaotangshan for vacation. On the fifth day of December, there is still more than a month left.

The ministers believed that Concubine Rong was the Emperor's true love, and they had nothing to say about the Empress Dowager's departure from the palace. Presumably, the Empress Dowager wanted to take this opportunity to be filial to her mother-in-law and win favor. After all, the Empress Dowager most valued Concubine Fang from the Pu family.

The second thing was that as soon as the queen mother left, a group of people beat the Dengwen drum outside the palace and sued the Pu family for 120 heinous crimes, which shocked the government and the public.

The Dengwen Drum of the Great Jin Dynasty stood outside the Meridian Gate and was guarded by soldiers. It was not easy to knock. There must be a pleadings and a defendant. Emperor Qingjia felt that Dengwengu was used to avenge people's grievances, so he was exempted from punishment. However, if it was a false accusation, he would be sent to prison. Depending on the impact, he would be imprisoned for three to five years, which was much harsher than fifty flogging.

Ordinary people would not come to beat Dengwen Drum even if they had grievances, the big drum outside Shuntian Mansion could also avenge their grievances, and the current Shuntian Mansion Yin won the hearts of the people, he was the world-renowned Lord Qingtian.

"I have some bad premonitions, and I feel that the weather is going to change." As soon as the cabinet ministers heard about this, they understood that the reason for the empress dowager's departure from the palace was definitely not due to physical discomfort. I am afraid that this was arranged by His Majesty long ago.

"Your Majesty is going to attack the Pu family?" Chu Rongwei, Minister of Rites, asked in a low voice.

Xu Shoufu glanced at the panic-stricken ministers present, and smiled, "Why are you so nervous? It will be a matter of time before the Pu family does all the bad things. It's just that the old man thought that the emperor would wait for the empress dowager. This emperor is still so decisive!"

"Your Excellency, don't forget, who among us has not confiscated the gifts from the Pu family, and who has no in-law relationship with the Pu family? If the emperor wants to clean up thoroughly, we are all mud on the root. Who can be clean?"

"Since you know that everyone is the same, then shut up. The law does not blame everyone. Does Your Majesty not know this?" Xu Shoufu's smartest thing is to judge the situation. It is not an accident that the Pu family fell. It should be a round, where His Majesty led the Pu family into a trap slowly.

It's really scary, how old is Zhao Zhang?Even Ling Jingyun could not compare to him for being able to deal with his grandfather's family in such a calm and calm manner.

"Master Xu, didn't you still want to recruit Shen Jia as your son-in-law before? Why did you act so slowly, and the emperor took the lead?" Zhou Qing, Minister of the Household Department, asked with a smile.

All civil and military officials in the court knew about this matter, but after Shen Jia sat on the bench for a few months, Lord Shoufu didn't mention it anymore. Zhou Shangshu's mention of such a sentence at this moment obviously wanted to see Xu Shoufu make a joke.

"Master Zhou must be very happy to have a new good subordinate, right? Why don't you think about how to entertain this emperor's close minister first. It may not be a good thing for him to fall into the territory of the Ministry of Household Affairs." Xu Shoufu sarcastically replied in a low voice.

Now Shen Jia has the words "Emperor's close minister" on it, no government office is willing to use such a person, no one has a little secret, if Shen Jia finds out and tells the emperor, it will be bad.

Zhou Qing's face was calm, and he didn't look worried at all, "I heard that Mr. Shen is proficient in arithmetic. Our household department is short of such talents. It is of course a good thing that he can come to the household department. You don't have to worry about Mr. Xu."

"Hehe, that's the best."

The factions in the court are complicated. After Zhao Zhang came to power, he severely punished officials who formed cliques for private interests. Now, even the chief minister dare not say that he has power in the court. Several of the six ministers are at odds with him. This is also the emperor. The result of careful planning.

Zhou Shangshu's good face lasted until he left the palace. As soon as he got into his own sedan chair, he immediately put down his face. His nephew Zhou Yanzhi and Shen Jia are Jinshi of the same discipline. Look at the present, one is a county magistrate of the seventh rank, and the other is a county magistrate. He is already a fifth grade doctor.

At the beginning, he thought that the three-year transfer would be an opportunity for his nephew, but now it seems that this opportunity is still too slow.

Shen Jia went to the household department to take up the post the next day. The emperor did not appoint a new official to take over the position of minister, so even the handover was saved. However, the previous Qian Langzhong in the household department was demoted because of a crime, so he was asked to make up for it. superior.

Thanks to his fame during this period, everyone in the household department knew him. Looking at his age and appearance, he could almost tell at a glance that this was the new Mr. Shen.

The fifth-rank doctor is just qualified to go to the court, but Shen Jia has just taken office and the procedures have not been completed, so he can still be lazy for a day today. Thinking about going to the court every morning at midnight, his whole body clamored to refuse.

"It turned out to be Langzhong Shen, disrespectful. Zhou Shangshu told me to wait when he received the news yesterday, and told me to treat the newcomers well." Shen Jia was received by a middle-aged man with a goatee and a shrewd face. More like a businessman.

This household department controls the country's finances, and everyone must be at the level of actuaries. They don't know how flexible their brains are, so Shen Jia has to deal with them carefully.

"It's the lower official, I wonder what this lord is called?"

"You and I are both doctors, just call me Brother Feng."

Shen Jia followed good example and shouted: "Brother Feng, I don't know what I should do in the future, please teach me Brother Feng."

"You're welcome, Zhou Shangshu has already made arrangements yesterday. The former Qian Langzhong was responsible for reconciling the accounts every year, but this matter has just been handed over to Brother Wei. Lord Shangshu wants you to go to the old account first to understand the situation. Subdivide it later."

Shen Jia smiled and nodded, "That's fine." He thought to himself: It seems that his arrival is not welcome, and a fifth-rank doctor can be regarded as a figure in the court. He is basically at the same level as the magistrate, and has a great authority , There are so many accounts that can be passed on, and now he is only asked to look at the old accounts, obviously he does not trust him.

But this is normal, people who manage the money are cautious, if anyone can get access to the core accounts, then there will be ghosts.

Feng Qiugui led Shen Jia to the place where the files were stored, only opened the outer room, pointed to the room full of cabinets and said: "Here is the tax inventory reported by various places in the past three years, and Mr. Shen will pick some of them to have a look first." , to get a general understanding of the taxation flow of various places, and you will probably be responsible for reconciliation in the future. To put it bluntly, our household department stares at these figures every day, and what we see in our eyes is not money, but records. , there is no sensitivity to do it well."

"Little brother understands, thank you Brother Feng for your guidance." Shen Jia could tell at a glance that the files that could be piled up so casually were definitely not important account books. to continue.

"Then you look at it first, I'm busy with my brother, there is lunch at noon, and I will call you when the time comes."

Shen Jia thanked him and went straight into the file room. Seeing that he was still obedient, Feng Qiugui left with a smile on his face.

Back at the office, the other officials winked at him and asked in a low voice, "Brother Feng is still the best, he can handle the newcomer with just a few words."

Feng Qiugui shook his head modestly, "It's nothing, every newcomer always has to learn first, the accounting matters are not so easy to learn."

"No, for such a young champion, he must have been busy reading and writing articles for the past ten years. How could he understand accounting matters? He really should learn first."

"I heard that Mr. Shen is highly regarded by the emperor, what should the emperor do if he asks about him?"

Feng Qiugui said calmly: "This is just the beginning. What can the emperor ask him? Can he say that what he is doing now is not good? It won't be too late to raise other things after he understands the account of that room. It's not us." intentionally embarrassing him."

"Master Feng's opinion!" Other officials echoed.

Shen Jia first opened the two windows of the archive room. No one has been here for a long time, and the dust is very thick. He first went to get a feather duster to sweep the dust away. go to work.

For these low-level officials like them, the fifth-rank doctor is already a very big official, so there is no reason to let the high-ranking official do the rough work by himself, not to mention that this Shen Lang is handsome and extraordinary, like a banished fairy. Even the petty official was reluctant to soil his official uniform.

"Your Excellency, please go and sit outside first. The villain cleans the inside before you come in. This villain is also negligent, thinking that no one will come here to look for things."

When Shen Jia first started working in her previous life, she did everything by herself. She did everything from sanitation, writing materials, and boiling water to make tea. This point of hygiene is still clear.

But seeing the terrified look of the little official, Shen Jia didn't insist, but she didn't sit outside alone, but leaned against the door frame to talk to him.

"How many years have you been working here, brother?"

"Don't dare to take it. You can just call me Old Chen. I have been working here for 13 years."

"That's a senior qualification. Who else is in the family? Is the salary enough to support the family?"

When mentioning his family, old Chen smiled with squinted eyes, showing a row of yellow teeth. Shen Jia had noticed just now that this old Chen liked to smoke waterpipes, and he did so secretly.

"There are seven or eight people in the family, including mothers, wives and children, and I'm not the only one who earns money to support the family. My mother-in-law can do embroidery and bring two daughters to embroider for others. She earns more than me."

"That aunt is really capable!" Shen Jia praised sincerely. Women these days are basically illiterate and have no chance to learn any special skills since they were young. It is not easy to have the ability to make money.

Old Chen smiled gratifiedly. Obviously, he still respected his wife very much at home. He said modestly, "I can't help it. I've only been able to do this for the rest of my life. There are many children in the family, and they are all for the sake of making a living."

Shen Jia agrees that these days, it is not easy for ordinary people to live, and they are very satisfied if they can have enough food and clothing.

He continued to ask, "Are you in charge of other places besides this file room?"

"The three archives in this yard are all under my care. They are not important things. Adults rarely come to read them, and they are destroyed every few years. What is Mr. Shen looking for?"

Shen Jia thought in her heart: As expected!He said calmly, "I didn't find anything, so I just looked around and learned about the taxes in various places."

Old Chen thought that this was a newcomer, and he immediately understood that this situation had happened before. The household department was a yamen where everyone wanted to get in, but there were only so many positions, so naturally some people could not get used to newcomers.

He smiled and said nothing.

Two quarters of an hour later, Old Chen put away his tools and came out, "It's almost ready, Mr. Shen will look at it first, and you can ask me if you have any questions. I know where everything is stored here."

"Okay, thank you."

Old Chen was taken aback, it is not fashionable these days for the old man to thank the subordinates, not to mention that he did nothing, "I dare not take it." After going out, he felt emotional: good-looking people are really kind, Mr. Shen is really a good person ah!

On the first day, Shen Jia didn't really expect to see anything. She looked at what was on the shelves as she walked, and picked out a book from time to time to look through it. She didn't look carefully. She looked at the place names and the general catalog to understand. There are many cases.

At noon, Feng Langzhong sent an entourage to invite him to have a meal. The canteen in the household department is much more upscale than the Hanlin Academy, so he directly invited a table of noodles from a very famous restaurant in the city. In winter, most people only have radishes at home. Cabbage, this restaurant can also deliver several kinds of vegetables, it is really rich and powerful.

"What Mr. Shen likes to eat, you can ask someone to send a list to Wangchunlou. Our meals this month are delivered by Wangchunlou. They will adjust the dishes every day according to the tastes of you adults, so it will be fair to everyone." Feng The doctor kindly reminded Shen Jia.

Shen Jia is not too picky about food. The taste of his picky dishes is like that of the imperial chef in the palace. He basically eats everything. Although the food in Wangchunlou is not as good as that of the imperial chef, it is still better than Tianxianglou and Xidenglou. of.

He asked curiously: "Is the restaurant booked different every month?"

"That's for sure, no matter how delicious the food is, you will get tired of eating it every day. Our Lord Shangshu is sympathetic to everyone, and asked everyone to choose ten restaurants that are more delicious in Chang'an City. You can change the taste every month if you change it. .”

Shen Jia said happily: "Then I will be lucky."

While everyone was there during the meal, Feng Langzhong introduced the officials of the household department to Shen Jia. Zhou Shangshu was not there. He heard that he had been left in the imperial study by the emperor to discuss matters and had not returned. , a surnamed Jiang, all old ministers, not very talkative, but he didn't have too much malice towards Shen Jia.

There are also several doctors who are in charge of different businesses. Shen Jia can only remember their names and appearances. As for their personalities and factions, they can only slowly figure out later.

Both the atmosphere and the taste of this meal were very good. Shen Jia ate to his heart's content. After eating, he could rest for an hour. He will bring a maid to serve him, but he doesn't know if he took the opportunity to do something.

Feng Langzhong was very responsible, not only took Shen Jia around the yamen, introduced everyone's location to him, but also asked him to play chess afterwards, which was also an activity for everyone to kill time.

Shen Jia is not good at chess, but he has a good memory and can reproduce Zhao Zhang's chess games, so as long as he plays first, he can usually win. In this way, the two play evenly, which makes Feng Qiugui's attitude towards Shen Jia It's a little better, and I feel that Shen Jia at least doesn't have good looks.

As for the number one scholar and so on, it is really nothing unusual to catch a lot of them in the six departments.
