Tanhualang

The meal was set in the dining room, Xiao You came to invite Zhao Heng, Zhao Heng dragged Shen Jing to eat together.After the meal, Shen Jing wanted to say goodbye, but was held back by Zhao Heng: "Gu also has a few words that I want to say to you."

Shen Jing returned to his seat: "Please speak, Your Highness."

Zhao Heng said: "In the future, when it's just you and me, you don't need to call me Your Highness, Your Highness. It's the same as when I was in Henan, just call me Zhong'an."

Shen Jing hesitated for a moment: "Courtesy cannot be discarded——"

He was worried that if he yelled smoothly, wouldn't it be troublesome if he yelled out someday when someone was there?

Unexpectedly, Zhao Heng nodded after hearing this: "If that's the case, that's fine. Reciprocity is a courtesy, then I'll call you Shen Hanlin from now on."

"..."

Zhao Heng picked up the tea as if he had nothing to do, and took a sip slowly: "This tea is not bad. Shen Hanlin should try it."

"..."

"Why, with Shen Hanlin's expression, why is he dissatisfied with Gu?"

Shen Jing sighed helplessly: "... Zhong An."

"Yeah." Zhao Heng put down the tea bowl, nodded with a smile, "Miao An called me that, I'm very happy to hear that."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Heng pulled Shen Jing to play a game of chess again, until it was dark, and then let Shen Jing go.

After the holiday, the Hanlin Academy was also a little more relaxed.

Because it was about to fall into ambush and the weather in the city was too hot, Sheng Jia moved to a garden outside the city to escape the summer heat, and sent all his official duties to the garden.

There are several bachelors in the Hanlin Academy, and there is also a special courtyard in the garden to handle official business. Once the few bachelors leave, the others are a little more relaxed, Shen Jing and other recent Hanlins are also relaxed a lot.

This day, Shen Jing was copying and sorting out the documents with Lu Meng, when he was called out by Hong Zeming, the young man of Zhan Shifu, "wait for me at the city gate tomorrow morning, and go to Xishan with me."

Shen Jing asked: "I don't know why?"

Hong Zeming smiled and said, "It's about grain transportation in the Northwest. I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Yu's proposal to trade salt for grain was done by you. The Holy Majesty told you to go there together for more details."

Shen Jing nodded: "Follow the order."

So early the next morning, he went to the mountain with Hong Zeming.

It turned out that autumn and winter were approaching, and it was time to transport grain to the Northwest.Because the effect of salt exchange for food last year was very significant, so the Holy One wanted to continue to use this method this year, and wanted to draw up a regulation on this matter to form a regulation, so he called the Ministry of War, Minister of the Ministry of Households and several Hanlin scholars to come together Discuss it.

He also thought that Shen Jing first proposed this matter, and he was the one who handled it all by himself last year, so he called Shen Jing to listen to it together.

Shen Jing knows that people speak lightly, so he has been listening quietly. Occasionally, when someone asks what happened last year, he will answer a word or two respectfully.

When the discussion was over, everyone left, and Shen Jing followed Hong Zeming out of the study, but was stopped by the eunuch Zheng Man: "Editor Shen, please stay."

Shen Jing stopped in surprise.

Hong Zeming paused, looked back at Shen Jing, and said in a low voice, "I'll wait for you outside." Then he left first.

Shen Jing had no choice but to follow Zheng Man all the way back to the study.

The study in this garden is not so much a study as it is more like an open house with a transparent front and back. This garden is built in the middle of the mountain, and sometimes there is a cool breeze blowing through the hall to blow away the heat of summer.

At this time, the Holy Majesty had changed from the neat robes he had just had for the discussion to light ordinary clothes, and was sitting on a bamboo chair drinking tea.Seeing Shen Jing coming in to salute, she raised her hand and smiled slightly, which was different from the seriousness just now: "Sit down."

Zheng Man immediately moved the stool, gave it away quietly, and thanked him before sitting down carefully, but he didn't dare to say anything, just silently waiting for the tired-looking king opposite to speak.

"You coped well just now." The emperor's voice was five points similar to Zhao Heng's, and his slow and peaceful tone was three points similar to Zhao Heng's, but more majestic, faintly giving people a sense of condescending oppression." Neither humble nor overbearing, well-organized, and with substance. It can be seen that he has worked hard on this matter on weekdays, and he is doing things."

Shen Jing hurriedly stood up and saluted again: "Your Majesty has a great reputation."

"Sit down." The emperor said, and raised his hand again, "Go down first."

Zheng Man immediately waved to the little eunuch who was playing the fan, and the two went out quietly.

The strings in Shen Jing's heart slowly tightened.

This is... What do you want to say to him?

Being nervous, the Holy One said slowly and gently: "I'm not too afraid of heat, so I never use ice. If Shen Qing feels hot, feel free to use a fan yourself."

Shen Jing hurriedly got up again to thank her, but she didn't dare to really take out her fan to fan her. She was secretly nervous, not knowing what she was going to say.

Then the other party slowly said: "I heard that King Yu had a chronic illness two days ago, and you cured him? You did a good job, and you should be rewarded heavily. Ah Heng has suffered all these years, and now With you taking care of me, I feel very comforted in my heart."

There was a "thump" in Shen Jing's heart, and she only felt her heartbeat pause for a moment.

However, I still have to bear the fear in my heart, and thank you softly: "Your Majesty has said it before... Your Highness has shown me great kindness, and these are what humble ministers should do."

The Holy Majesty nodded, and then said eloquently: "A Heng is ten years younger than I am. It can be said that I watched him grow up. The advantage is that he was smart and decisive since he was a child. There are also some shortcomings, and occasionally becoming self-willed is also a headache."

After a pause, he smiled and looked at Shen Jing: "I heard that when he came back from Gansu a while ago, he drove all night with his guards and returned to the mansion ahead of time. According to his temperament, this is probably true, right?"

Listening quietly, I only felt cold sweat dripping down the back of my neck and onto my back one by one: "...Yes."

The Holy Majesty smiled again: "I only have such a young brother who is self-willed occasionally, and I am willing to spoil him. After all, he is still young and energetic. But if you act so evasively, those of you who are by his side are probably It's not easy. Therefore, those who should be persuaded should also be persuaded in time, and be happy if you are happy, and you must not lose your sense of proportion."

Listening quietly, cold sweat dripped from his forehead and back: "... I will follow His Majesty's will."

"Okay. Let's go down." Then the Holy One raised his hand, "Ask Zheng Man to take you out."

Shen Jing stood up and kowtowed for the grace, and then quietly exited the study.

Zheng Man was waiting outside the door. Seeing Shen Jing coming out, he came up to him and said with a smile, "Editor Shen, this way."

Shen Jing followed him all the way, while listening to him laughing: "Master Hong, I have already told him to go first. The Holy One rewarded him generously, so it might not be right for him to see it. I asked them to prepare a carriage and specially I will send you back, and all the rewards from the Holy Majesty have been placed on it."

Shen Jing hurriedly saluted him: "Thank you, Mr. Zheng. It's just that the Holy Majesty rewarded me so much, it really made me panic—"

Zheng Man returned the salute with a smile, and said with a smile: "It is said that an elder brother is like a father, and His Majesty and His Highness are even more brotherly. Master Shen cured His Highness's illness, which is to share the worries of His Majesty, and His Majesty will naturally reward him."

As he spoke, he had arrived at the gate of the garden.Zheng Man paused, turned to Shen Jing with a smile, and said softly: "If Mr. Shen is grateful for His Majesty's kindness, I might as well say something more. Now His Majesty is only worried about one thing, and that is His Highness's marriage. I heard that you and His Highness The friendship is very strong, if you can speak a few words of persuasion, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

After finishing speaking, he smiled: "I just mentioned it this way. If there is no opportunity, it's fine. Shen Dashan and the dignified Tanhualang must have a sense of proportion."

Shen Jing forced a smile, saluted and thanked the other party: "I see... Thank you, Mr. Zheng."

Zheng Man returned a salute, smiled and turned to Shi Shiran.

Leaving behind Shen Jing, sweaty and cold all over, got into the carriage and went all the way back to the city.
