, and it's not about looking at him, most of them are people who have a relationship with his family through excuses.General Chang is not in the capital now, and Chang Jize is too young to be in charge, so it is useless to come.
The most fundamental reason is that the weight of the Chang family is not enough.
After all, it was afternoon, and those who should come should go, when Shen Jieran entered the main hall, he saw Chang Jize sending off the last group of people.
21. Chapter Twenty
Chang Jize sat down with a bitter face, and drank half a pot of tea in one gulp.
"Grandpa is exhausted to death, and he said everything to me."
It wasn't that there was no one in the main hall, Zheng Bin was also there, he couldn't help laughing when he saw Chang Jize's appearance, and went to refill him with the teapot.
"Zheng Bin often comes to see you recently?" Shen Jieran asked when the two of them were left in the room.
"Is there?" Chang Jize said indifferently, "Speaking of which, he used to look for you more often, but Shen Er, you are too busy these days. Fortunately, I ran out early in the morning to look for you , it turns out that you are fine... Oh yes yes yes, I understand that a moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold."
Shen Jieran didn't care about Chang Jize teasing him this time, but the corners of his mouth could not be restrained.
"There is a chance for you to formally meet your sister-in-law."
"Hey, what sister-in-law, you are obviously younger than me!"
Chang Jize was actually very surprised how Shen Jieran became so fast.Some time ago, he still thought about Shangguan Qingmu so much that he wanted to die, but now he is getting along with his original wife again.But looking at Shen Jieran's expression, he didn't seem to be playing with anyone. Out of respect for his good brother, he didn't ask.And although he likes to tease Shen Jieran, as a big man, he doesn't want to gossip too much.
"Hey, let's talk about business. Did something happen when you suddenly went to find me?"
Speaking of this, Chang Jize became angry.He originally went to Shen Jieran to pour out his bitterness and seek a solution. Although Shen Jieran was the least sensible among them, he was also the most thoughtful one. Chang Jize used to consult him about anything.But I didn't expect that this time he went there early in the morning and didn't even see anyone.
But getting angry is angry, after all, it's a big deal for a good brother, so he just endured it.
"You don't know what I heard this morning...the emperor wants me to be the Minister of War!"
Shen Jieran was stunned for a moment, and then asked strangely: "Is there anything wrong?"
Chang Jize wept bitterly, "There is no shortage of people in the six departments now, what's the point of me offering a freelance job? It's not to attract people's attention."
Shen Jieran thinks about it too, now that the Ministry of War already has a minister and two servants, if Chang Jize wants to go, I'm afraid it's just a idle job and won't have any real power.
Shen Jieran comforted him and said: "Think about it, ordinary people can only take the imperial examination if they want to enter the WTO, and they don't know how many years it will take to pass the third rank. Now you are flying on a branch and becoming a phoenix, don't care about real power or not That's right. Besides, Old Shangshu is not young anymore, you still have a lot of room for improvement."
Chang Jize was immediately amused by his words, and he patted Shen Jieran, "What you said is quite reasonable, but the problem is, I don't want to be an official at all right now! It's okay to let me go to the battlefield to fight. In the Ministry of War What's the point of staying there?"
"Now that the world is peaceful, how can there be so many battles to fight? Besides, if there is a real war, it must be your father. Where can it be your turn?"
It is true that the world is peaceful now, but Shen Jieran knows that in a few years the northwest border will be raging with war.Ling Guo and the Huns in the north began to plan a joint attack on Dacheng. At that time, he was sent to garrison the western frontier, while Chang Jize's father was still fighting against the Huns in the north.
"So don't you think it's strange? Even if I accidentally saved the third prince and made meritorious service, the emperor should reward my father. Why did you suddenly give me an official position?"
Since Shen Jieran really got a lot of benefits after this incident in his previous life, preconceived notions have already been formed. He also felt strange when he heard Chang Jize say this. According to common sense, they are not yet at the age of weak crowns, and they are not imperial officials. , if you really want to reward, it is more reasonable to reward your parents.
In the last life, all of them were stunned by this unexpected big pie, even if they vaguely felt that it was wrong, they didn't think about it.On the contrary, Chang Jize, who was devoted to martial arts, was not bewitched by fame and fortune.
If it is said that all the glory that was placed on him in the previous life was the emperor's plan to get rid of the Shen family, then Chang Jize's situation in this life is definitely different from his own.
The Chang family is the backbone force, and General Chang is the Zhenyuan general who can deter the Xiongnu. It is too late for the emperor to rely on his family, so why would he want to get rid of it?
But in terms of relying on him, there's no need to give Chang Jize such a big official position all at once.
It seemed that there was something behind this incident that he didn't know about.Having gone through so many conspiracies, Shen Jieran couldn't help wondering if there was something tricky in it.
This made Shen Jieran suddenly feel powerless.Once reborn, although he knew a lot of things that might happen in the future, there was a turbulent undercurrent, and although he tried hard to distinguish the direction in it, he often still had times when he couldn't help himself.
He was thinking this way in his heart, but he couldn't tell Chang Jize about these things, so he could only comfort him and said, "Why do you think so much? Now you don't have to work and you will get a salary, so your father won't have to talk about it all day long." What's wrong with you being idle? Besides, it's useless for you to think about it, don't you have to take a step to see?"
At this time, Zheng Bin, who went to refill the water, had already returned.The two stopped talking about it, but Shen Jieran remembered his main purpose of coming here.
"By the way, how is the third prince's injury now?"
"I heard that he woke up last night, but he lost a lot of blood and was still a little weak. I heard that he will come to personally thank Brother Jize." Zheng Bin poured tea for the two of them and said.He is well informed on this matter.
"After all, I have to thank that white-faced hero." Chang Jize said.
"The white-faced hero?"
"Yes, I named it." Chang Jize said with a smile: "I think about it, although he moved very quickly, but I still saw that there was no mask on his face, and he looked very white. .And judging by her age, she shouldn't be too old."
Although he knew that no one would track down Yuan Lingxiu, Shen Jieran was still very upset to see others thinking about his wife so much: "If you really thank him, you will not mention it in the future, although it is chaotic outside and no one is looking after it How could there be masked heroes infiltrating the forest farm besides assassins, but if you keep mentioning it like this, I’m afraid others will be reminded by you even if they didn’t expect it.”
"Of course I know this, so I just told you two." Chang Jize said with his eyes widened, "Don't both of you talk about it, let's stop this matter."
"How about those assassins?" Shen Jieran asked again.
"Still under strict supervision." Chang Jize said, "It's just to prevent them from committing suicide, and they haven't been interrogated yet. After all, this matter is also Ling's business, and it's not good for us to interfere. Just hand it over to the third prince. "
After asking everything he wanted to know, Shen Jieran guessed that Yuan Lingxiu was about to wake up, so he raised his legs and prepared to go back home.
"Oh, I'm so anxious to go home and see your wife." Chang Jize called after his back, but Shen Jieran ignored him.
"Why did Brother Jieran and his wife suddenly get on good terms?" After Shen Jieran left, Zheng Bin asked suspiciously.Who in the capital does not know that Mrs. Shen Er is not favored, even the wedding night in the bridal chamber failed to keep her husband, to put it in a bad way, she is no different from a widow.
"Who knows, this kid has a bad convulsion recently." Chang Jize pouted.Even though he said so, he was also happy when his friend finally stopped pestering the neighboring prince who would never have a good result with him anyway.
He just opened meat and tasted the pleasure of fish and water, Shen Jieran can't calm down, he only wishes to have fun every night.
But every time at the beginning, Yuan Lingxiu would sweat coldly from the pain, causing Shen Jieran not to dare to mess around.
Yuan Lingxiu hardly got out of bed these days.Although he didn't say it, Shen Jieran also knew that on the one hand, he was not restrained, and on the other hand, he still hurt him.
Although it was said that it would be painful at first, Shen Jieran didn't want him to be hurt. He felt that this kind of thing should be enjoyed by both parties.
In the past two days, Shen Jieran was so worried, he began to think whether it was because of his poor skills?
In the past, he had a lot of affection with Shangguan Aoki, but Shangguan Aoki never let him go to the end.Thinking about it now, this is the best proof that Shangguan Aoki didn't actually fall in love with him, but Shen Jieran didn't want to think too much about it back then, and secondly, he always felt that if he did something like that to Shangguan Aoki without giving him a title, It's an act of disrespect.
Therefore, Shen Jieran, who has zero actual combat experience, does not know where the problem lies.
But after all, he is also an old ghost who has lived ten years longer than ordinary people. Although no outsiders know about it, he still can't bear the shame to ask those friends who have male wives and male concubines.
It was a sunny day, and after lunch, Shen Jieran and Yuan Lingxiu basked in the sun.He hasn't left the yard for three days, and he hid himself for a while, and during this period, the outside matters that should be resolved are almost resolved.
Although the third prince is still weak, he is probably in good condition and is about to return to Ling country.
This time Ling Guo sent two princes to Dacheng, mainly to pay some tribute, and express their surrender by the way.As for their internal plans, only they themselves know.It just happened to be invited by Emperor Xuanwen to catch up with the hunting, and the things that should be done have already been done.
The most fundamental reason is that the weight of the Chang family is not enough.
After all, it was afternoon, and those who should come should go, when Shen Jieran entered the main hall, he saw Chang Jize sending off the last group of people.
