C55

Huimeng Tower was located on the capital's Chang'an Street, the busiest and most bustling street. Now that there were people riding horses at full speed, it was only natural that many people had to avoid them. Moreover, it was in a situation where the carriages were packed to the brim.

The Shen brothers' carriage was also shocked. The horses' hooves were raised uneasily, and the carriage swayed from side to side. Second Master Shen, who had one foot on the door, was thrown back. If it wasn't for Shen Jun smiling as he supported him, he would have definitely crashed into the car to avoid being injured.

"Who dares to gallop here?!" Second Master Shen was bewildered.

Shen Jun smiled when he saw that the horse was under control. He lifted the curtain and looked out. A familiar face flashed across his eyes.

Him?

The man riding on the horse in the busy city was none other than the young master who had accompanied the fourth prince the whole night.

— — Marquis of Wuan's son, Zhou Jiayu.

But how could he be so flustered?

Shen Jun smiled as he watched the young man ride off in the direction of the Imperial City. Silently, he put down the curtain.

As the teenager sped past, the originally orderly Chang'an Street became a mess. Only then did the Shen siblings get off the carriage, and they heard a person who had been caught in the crossfire mutter, "By acting this way, is there no law under the Emperor's feet?"

That person was standing right in front of the carriage, and the Shen siblings glared at him. When Shen Jun saw his face, his expression turned cold.

Second Master Shen knew that as an official, he had to say one or two words when he heard this: "This scholar, not to mention the feet of the Son of Heaven, I am strict with the law, and even if the prince were to break the law he would still be punished with the common people. How could there be no law? Not only that, the person on the bicycle earlier was heading in the direction of the Royal Capital. Although this action could injure the citizens, it was definitely an important matter. It's better to be cautious. "

Li Qingzhao had always been happy with his words, but who would have thought that he would hear them speak in such an honest and strict manner? He was startled and looked towards the Shen brothers. When he saw the two clearly, Li Qingzhao's pupils constricted and he hurriedly lowered his head.

Second Master Shen isn't someone who likes to preach, but seeing how he dressed as a scholar, his age isn't that old. It is highly likely that he will be participating this year. That was why she warned him a little.

Seeing that the person had lowered his head to lower it, Master Shen Er did not say anything else and said to his brother: "Third brother, let's go."

Shen Jun smiled as he nodded and followed his brother's footsteps. Before he left, Li Qingzhao felt the young man's ice-cold gaze, which made his heart beat even faster. Only after the two brothers had disappeared did he leave in a panic.

Shen Jun, who was walking upstairs, suddenly remembered something.

In his previous life, he had also come to the capital at this time, and something had happened in the palace. The son of the Marquis of Wuan's son had probably entered the palace because of that incident.

Shen Jun smiled as he recalled the past and roughly guessed the whole story. When they were eating, he asked Master Shen, "Second Brother, has the Emperor decided to start a new situation with regards to kaleidoscope recently?"

Master Shen Er's movements faltered, and soon, a grim look appeared on his face. He lowered his voice and said, "Indeed, the imperial court has been quarrelling endlessly over this this this morning. The Emperor intends to implement the New Deal and build more than two thousand shallow ships. For those who do not support the idea, building ships will cost money, and the national treasury is not considered to be fully filled. "

"The emperor is furious early in the morning?"

"I am indeed furious."

"Is there anything strange about it when it's dismissed?"

His younger brother's question made Second Master Shen even more puzzled. He was just a blood brother and was going to become an official in the future, so Second Master Shen decided to pass on the things he shouldn't have. He then summoned the imperial physician... "When I came to the yamen, there was no news."

Cough... It seemed to be right.

Shen Jun laughed lightly and said, "His Majesty was injured a few years ago. I'm afraid he was angered to the point of recurrence. The one who spurred the horse forward was the son of the Marquis of Wuan. "

Second Master Shen's doubt turned into shock as he heard the young man continue, "Everyone knows that Your Majesty was injured back then. However, that was an internal injury and it will be impossible to heal it in a short period of time. Moreover, the emperor worked diligently in the imperial palace. If one couldn't rest well, it would be difficult to recover from their injuries. As for the Zhou family of the Marquis of Wuan, they had a special medicine to stabilize their internal injuries. I'm afraid this is for the delivery of medicine. "

"That's why you're speculating that His Majesty's injuries have been inflicted on him?!"

Shen Jun smiled and nodded his head, "Big brother, what do you think of this new policy?"

Second Master Shen said, "If the situation is like this, after building the ship, the shipping routes will increase in number. This is definitely beneficial for shipping the army's salary. But if I think about it carefully, there's one thing wrong with it. The new ship will have an increased load, which is equivalent to an increased cost. The emperor meant for the initial shipment to reach two million stones and five million stones. This way, in order to reach this number, layers upon layers, even taxes would be increased. If this goes on for a long time, the people will probably complain. "

As an official of the imperial court, Old Master Shen Er's sense of politics was exceptionally sensitive, and he was able to see through matters to a great distance.

Shen Jun laughed, "So brother doesn't agree with that side?"

"Yes." Second Master Shen fell silent. Shen Jun then understood what he meant. He then poured a cup of wine for his brother. Brother, listen to this word from your younger brother. If you have no sense, then your brother will give up after hearing it. If you agree with me, I hope that you can do the same on this matter. "

"Go ahead."

"If your brother can see, then the people in the court can understand even less. However, based on his tone just now, most of the ministers were probably of lower ranks. The various pavilion elders should have supported him. Could it be that the supporting elders did not understand the pros and cons? If they understood, why were there still some officials who were determined to support him, or why were there so many low rank officials who were determined to support him? You got so angry that your majesty's injuries started to hurt again? "

"Elder brother, have you thought of any reason?"

Why?

Second Master Shen's expression instantly turned ugly.

Naturally, he was forcing the Emperor to show his dictatorial side. His Majesty's will had already been decided, and even though it caused the same consequences, the former was still the Emperor's personal problem. Even if something happens in the future … That had nothing to do with officials, whether they supported it or opposed it.

At that time, even if the Emperor were to flare up, he would have no way to do so!

It didn't matter if they were building a boat, or making food, as well as the benefits inside … Second Master Shen broke out in cold sweat as he thought of this.

"Therefore, whether your brother supports it or not is the same. However, the premise reached by the former was that there would be a group of people who would want to become the chicken that the Emperor would kill. And those 'chickens' were most likely something that anyone wanted to get rid of. "Elder brother is the Supreme Court's junior official. Tomorrow, some people might even land in the justice courts. Your excellency wishes to understand His Majesty's intentions. Your term of office next year will be full."

In his previous life, his elder brother should have been named after this event by the Emperor, and would only be transferred after his term of office had expired. However, at that time, he did not know much about the situation in the imperial court, nor did he think that it would be because of the matter of the kaleidoscope. Thus, he found out the reason why even though his second brother had performed so well in the government, he still maintained his exterior image.

If the emperor wanted to kill the chicken and well monkey, the justice courts would most likely do something inappropriate. Then, that fire would be placed on his elder brother's body. Of course, other than this reason, there were also others who added fuel to the fire.

At this point, how could Second Master Shen not understand.

Shen Jun laughed and continued: "Second brother, in these days, you don't have to bother about the sect's records. If it really doesn't work, then you should take a sick leave. " As long as he could get to court, he would definitely come in contact with them. It would be better to just hide for two days. When that time came, the mission would naturally be controlled by others. Thus, Second Master Shen would have to retreat safely …

That same night, Second Master Shen took sick leave. The next day, the emperor was furious about the matter and requested for a thorough investigation. For a time, the court was in a state of panic.

When Second Master Shen received the news, he heaved a sigh of relief. And at this time, the news of Liu Yun taking in the last disciple arrived.

When Shen Jun heard about the painting, he paused in surprise. The thick ink had dyed the entire painting.
