Chapter 454

Chapter 454

Although Shen Zimu was disappointed that Shen Shixing did not reveal his intention to suspend the cleanup of the Buddhist temple, so he asked a bit directly, but Shen Shixing still smiled very modestly and said, "Is what Yuyang said unreasonable?"

Shen Zimu was stunned when he heard that Shen Shixing was still laughing and agreeing with him, then he cupped his hands apologetically and said, "Your servant just made a slip of the tongue, sooner or later your merit will be higher than that of the Grand Master."

"That's not the way to be a friend!"

"I really don't dare to compare myself to the grand master. Yuyang, what you said just now is what friends should say. You can think of me. I am actually very happy."

After Shen Shixing said with a smile, he got up and looked at the blue sky outside the window and said:

"However, today's government is working hard to govern, and it is a rare and benevolent monarch who loves the people!"

"And let the servant rule the country, the servant will naturally have to do more practical things for the people during the period when he is the head and assistant, and do more until the servant can't do it, so as to live up to the emperor's kindness!"

"As for it, it doesn't matter whether he is dismissed, dismissed or decapitated in the future."

"Yuanfu is indeed a dedicated and loyal minister of Liangfu! The subordinates respect him very much!"

Shen Zimu cupped his hands helplessly and affirmed Shen Shixing's words.

Just as Shen Shixing was about to humble himself, he saw Yi Chuanming, the Chief Assistant Counselor, walking quickly.

Shen Shixing asked, "What's the matter? Business or private."

Yi Chuanming replied, "Business."

Shen Shixing turned his head to look at Shen Zimu: "Since it's an official matter, Yuyang, as the censor of the capital, has the right to supervise, so there is no need to avoid it."

Shen Zimu didn't leave.

Yi Chuanming reported here: "There is an imperial decree, because Jin Yiwei seized the original soldier Chen Jingbang's huge amount of property whose source is unknown, and has found out that he is suspected of corruption, so the Secretary of the Imperial Guard drafted an order to the Privy Council and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate the military salary owed over the years. The amount of payment is good to make up for the salary owed."

Shen Shixing looked in the direction of the Forbidden City and cupped his hands: "I obey the order!"

Then, Shen Shixing said to Shen Zimu with a smile: "Jin Yiwei is getting more and more powerful now, such a servant doesn't need to worry about the things behind him, and Yuyang doesn't need to worry about the servant any more."

"Yuyang?"

Seeing that Shen Zimu didn't speak, Shen Shixing asked.

Only then did Shen Zimu come back to his senses, and said with a sneer, "Yuan Fu said that since the Zhang brothers entered the Jin Yiwei, the Jin Yiwei's morale has really improved, but it will make future generations have to worry about their attitude towards Yuan Fu after a hundred years."

After Shen Zimu said that, he left Shen Shixing's place, and walked across the alley to a private house, knocking on the door knocker.

Soon, the door of this private house opened.

"Is Miss Yexi here?"

After the maidservant nodded, she welcomed Shen Zimu in, looked outside for a few times, and then closed the door.

Shen Zimu entered the back room at this time, and saw a Qingguan Yexi in black feather satin standing by the window: "What are you doing here?"

Bang!

Shen Zimu touched the teacup handed over by a maidservant, then grabbed the teacup and threw it on the ground: "Excessive! His Zhang family brothers are really not afraid that my old ritual party will meet a new one who supports the old ritual in the future." The Empress has intensified her revenge on the Zhang family, and she is really serious about investigating corruption! To cut off our source of income, the 500 million taels of silver are said to belong to the Chen family, but why not belong to my entire old party!"

"What's the matter?"

The Yexi girl turned around and looked at Shen Zimu's back and asked.

Shen Zimu also looked back at her: "Go and tell your master, Chen Su'an has been arrested!"

The Yexi girl smiled slightly, and glanced behind Shen Zimu, then folded her hands on her waist and knelt down and said:

"Thank you for still thinking about coming to report, but my master has already made arrangements, so you don't have to worry about it."

"What arrangement?"

Shen Zimu asked.

"Naturally let Gong Zao ascend to bliss!"

As soon as the Yexi girl finished answering, Shen Zimu suddenly felt his neck tighten, a rope was strangling his neck, and he was pulling himself back.

"You guys, do you need to be so afraid? I'm just that."

Shen Zimu couldn't speak for a while, but he died not long after and fell to the ground.

……

"But what?"

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhu Yijun already knew about Chen Jingbang's arrest from Zhang Jingxiu, and asked for some details.

"He only has 500 million taels, and His Majesty does not lack these 500 million taels now."

After Zhu Yijun asked this question, Zhang Jingxiu answered.

Zhu Yijun's face sank after hearing this: "Why, 500 million taels is not money? It's also my money, it's my money for raising soldiers!"

After Zhu Yijun said that, he looked at Zhang Jingxiu: "You Jinyiwei have done a good job this time. According to my order, this money will be used to pay the arrears, and half of the money will be used as an extra reward for Jinyiwei, but it will not be sent directly. , It is used as a share to invest in the official profits for future external development, and the dividends are distributed to the Jinyiwei official schools and the bottom school lieutenants in proportion, as extra bonuses, and those who are killed and injured will get more. How exactly? Discuss with several officials of Jinyiwei, and then report it, and everyone must feel fair."

"Yes!"

Although Zhang Jingxiu himself didn't care about these benefits, he still couldn't hide his joy and replied.

Because the other official schools of Jinyiwei are still very willing to obtain more practical benefits by maintaining the new policies brought about by the new rites, that will undoubtedly work harder, and it will be easier to prevent the possibility of being bribed.

Zhang Jingxiu knew that this would also help him maintain popular support in Jinyiwei, so he immediately said yes.

And Zhang Jingxiu informed the Jinyiwei official schools of the news when he returned to Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei official schools were very happy, but Zhang Maoxiu looked a little dull.

Zhang Jingxiu noticed his younger brother's expression, so he asked him alone after returning home: "Did Chen Su'an tell you something?"

"Yes, he still doesn't understand why we do this, and asks if we are not afraid that the old party will intensify revenge on our Zhang family after it regains power in the future?"

Zhang Maoxiu replied.

After hearing this, Zhang Jingxiu asked, "How did you answer?"

"I actually didn't know how to answer, so I just replied with an official sentence."

Zhang Maoxiu told Zhang Jingxiu exactly what he had said, and then said, "But I still want to know how you would answer if the elder brother were you."

"same as you!"

Zhang Jingxiu replied.

Zhang Maoxiu was quite surprised when he heard this: "Then if the old party really comes to power in the future, what should we do if it intensifies its revenge on us?"

"Never mind"

Zhang Jingxiu replied.

Zhang Maoxiu let out an "ah", quite puzzled.

Zhang Jingxiu glanced at him and asked: "Do you think that your majesty really gave us such a great favor to the Zhang family because of the fact that my father was the emperor's teacher? It is really benevolent and benevolent that he invited celebrities to train our martial arts." And all kinds of means, let us take charge of Jinyiwei?"

"If you just recite the kindness of the teacher, there is no need to carve up Qiujue, copy Zhang Puzhou, or even please Shilin to liquidate my Zhang family. The most important thing is that my late father is the emperor's teacher, so that the old lady can get it. Support, you and I will either be exiled to the army or die to protect our family!"

"That is to say, it's not that brother wants this, but His Majesty wants this?"

Zhang Maoxiu asked.

Zhang Jingxiu nodded: "That's right, if you follow His Majesty's wishes and don't be a loyal minister in this dynasty, maybe my Zhang family will be liquidated in this dynasty."

"Then we have to think about the way forward?"

Zhang Maoxiu replied.

Zhang Jingxiu smiled slightly: "There is no way out in this world. It is easier to fall into the water if you step on two boats. The only hope is to die and survive!"

"Remember, if the road is as simple as it is simple, the emperor will not betray his loyal ministers!"

"Hearing what elder brother said, younger brother understands that we actually have no choice. Since we have endured such a heavy favor from the emperor, we can only stand on the same boat with His Majesty."

Zhang Maoxiu started talking, and then asked: "But Chen Su'an couldn't have missed this, right? Why do you want us to forgive them?"

"Firstly, it was your elder brother. I deliberately deceived them at the beginning, and if I put them together, it can be regarded as proving my brother's ability to His Majesty."

"Secondly, my father said that people are easy to lose their minds because of their own standpoint. It's not that they can't think of it, but they hope that we can know the same as them, so they basically don't go to us. You must be loyal to His Majesty and carry out your father's ambitions."

After Zhang Jingxiu said, Zhang Maoxiu nodded as if he had realized something: "Could there be someone more powerful from the old party thinking about this?"

"I'll be more careful when I think about it!"

"It won't be easy to get caught that way."

"But there is nothing to be afraid of. My late father said that the smarter a person is, the more he will blur his own position, and the less he will do things to the extreme. At most, he will only be cruel to himself!"

As Zhang Jingxiu spoke, Jin Yiwei came outside.

Zhang Jingxiu hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Jin Yiwei said: "Shen Qianxian disappeared suddenly! According to investigations, he disappeared suddenly after leaving the chief assistant's residence!"
