Troubled Times Survival Raiders

Zhang Sheren is in the age of forty, and he also intends to make some suggestions to his younger generations. He is willing to take Shen Yu to face the saint, and he still tells him all kinds of things in front of the emperor along the way: "The historian's writing style in the Spring and Autumn Period, many things need not be said so accurately. For example, when His Majesty summons ministers to talk about government affairs, it is natural to talk about it, but if it is about family affairs, it is a matter of whether you remember it or not."

This is the first time Shen Yu heard of this.In the past, he only said that historians were impartial, and his writing was naturally fair.Unexpectedly, there is such a way of being a minister.

Seeing his pensive expression, Zhang Sheren lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty is also an ordinary person, and it is inevitable to complain on weekdays. When you complain, it would be too disrespectful if you didn't write down a word of it. Humanity?"

While talking, the two had arrived at the gate of Qianqing Palace.

Li Qi was waiting at the door, seeing Zhang Sheren nodding his head familiarly, but seeing Shen Yu stunned for a moment, he smiled sincerely, "Please, Your Majesty is waiting."

Zhang Sheren has already said that living Sheren work in shifts, firstly, it is not advisable to be too tired, and secondly, it also prevents historians from leaning towards the emperor and helping to conceal something.After lunch every day, it is time for the staff to change shifts.At this time, the emperor could take a short nap, and Sheren would send the records back to the seal file of the Living Department.

There is a saying that "kings don't read history". Except for the death of the emperor, when the new emperor succeeds to the throne and compiles the actual record, it will be used as information. "Living Records" is strictly forbidden to be circulated, otherwise it will be suspected of spying on the emperor.

When the two of them entered the palace, Wu Junyi seemed to have just gotten up not long ago, wearing a cloak and leaning on the cushions to read the brochures.Shen Yu followed Zhang Sheren on tiptoe to the position behind the screen next to him.Zhang Sheren sat down, and Shen Yu could only stand beside him.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Sheren has arrived." Li Qi whispered.

"Understood." Wu Junyi said without raising his head, turned the memorial in his hand to another page, dropped the brush, and wrote quietly.

The pen in Zhang Sheren's hand also fell, and he wrote: In the afternoon, get up and read the memorial.

After a while, perhaps because he finally realized that it was just the news that the housekeepers were in place, Li Qi usually would not say anything specifically, Wu Junyi finally cast a glance behind the screen.

At this glance, he couldn't help but hold his breath.

"Shen Zhuangyuan, did you come with Zhang Sheren?" Wu Junyi finally asked indifferently.He couldn't see clearly from behind the screen, but his hands tightly clenched the memorial, leaving traces on the brocade cover.

Shen Yu bowed and replied: "Yes."

"Since I'm a gifted person, give me a seat." Wu Junyi bowed his head again and resumed writing.Li Qi made preparations early and moved a stool over. After Shen Yu thanked Li Qi, he thanked Li Qi before sitting down.

Zhang Sheren's pen paused, but he didn't write down this paragraph in the end.

In the afternoon, Shen Yu sat in the Qianqing Palace, watching with cold eyes.He tried to get rid of his own experience and emotions, and examine Wu Junyi's words and deeds from the perspective of a historian.

Their Majesty was young but stable, even when he was leaning on the couch, his sitting posture was very upright, holding a pen in the air to write, he was also stable and stable, which was enough to see the superb calligraphy.

While reading the scriptures, he ordered Li Qi to read the scriptures on the sidelines, replying in his hand, and commented a few words from time to time, such as, "Nonsense." "No need to reply." "Quite."

According to what he said, Li Qi sorted the notebooks into categories.

And on the table in front of Wu Junyi, the memorials piled up as high as a hill were quickly divided into three categories. Don't flash, stack them one palm high, Wu Junyi didn't give orders.

All afternoon, Wu Junyi felt that gaze and felt restless.

In the past, he only regarded his daily life as an object, or he was no different from Li Qi.But it wasn't until Shen Yu sat there that he realized the difference.

"These things will be discussed at the court meeting." As soon as Wu Junyi finished speaking, he heard Li Qi report: "Master Deng, please see me."

"Xuan." Wu Junyi said.

Shen Yu secretly held his breath.He has always heard about Deng Xian's reputation, but he has never seen it with his own eyes, and now he finally got his wish.

Unexpectedly, there was more than one person who entered the palace.

"Minister Deng Xian/Feng Yuandao/Ying Yu, see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty."

"Excuse me, get up quickly." When Wu Junyi saw them, he couldn't be more polite.

Ying Yu is the minister of Honglu Temple, in charge of foreign guests.Feng Yuandao was transferred to Beijing and served under Deng Xian.It is obviously a military and national event that the Ministry of War and the officials from Honglu Temple came together.

Shen Yu had just stepped into an official career, and she was a little terrified to hear such important matters being discussed.But no one mentioned him. Zhang Sheren was writing hard, so he also sat upright and listened carefully with his ears pricked up.

Wu Junyi was so busy with business that he forgot to pay attention to that vague gaze.

"Your Majesty, the envoys from Nanliang and Dai will arrive in Beijing in two months." Ying Yu said with a sinking face. "Although in name it is to congratulate His Majesty on his succession to the throne, but the person who came was not kind."

Wu Junyi sneered and said, "Congratulations? I'm afraid it's just an embarrassment for me."

Deng Xian's face was also not good-looking. "There are still ten years left in the Xuanqing agreement. If they send people here just to demonstrate, that's fine. If something happens, I'm afraid..." With the current state of the treasury, it is absolutely impossible to beat Xianbei.

Xianbei was originally a nomadic nation established after the rise of the Huns. Relying on their innate talent for riding and shooting, they swept away the army and went south.But they were aggressive by nature, and when they expanded, they split into two tribes, and established their respective capitals, named Nanliang Kingdom and Dai Kingdom.However, the officials and people of Daqi generally still used to call it East and West Xianbei according to their regions.

At the beginning of the first emperor's accession to the throne, there were constant disputes between East and West Xianbei, but in the later period, they joined forces again to go south. The first emperor surrendered without a fight, took the initiative to seek peace, signed the Xuanqing alliance, agreed that Daqi would become a minister, and pay tribute every year for 20 years.

Shen Yu noticed that Wu Junyi's pupils shrank suddenly when the Xuanqing agreement was mentioned, and Zhang Sheren's pen paused.And he himself clenched his fists involuntarily.

After a while of silence, Feng Yuandao took the initiative to say: "Before entering Beijing, all states and counties along the way are under martial law. I think that envoys should be restricted from living in the Sifang Pavilion and guarded by heavy troops to prevent disturbing the people. Miyagi also needs to strengthen its defenses."

They discussed for a while, and Wu Junyi issued a few verbal instructions.Then the three resigned, but Wu Junyi only left Deng Xian.

"Master Deng, how did Daqi fight Xianbei?" As soon as the two men disappeared, Wu Junyi directly asked his own question, every word was loud and loud.

Deng Xian had no fear, but replied conservatively: "If there is no Bianzhou Incident, we may be able to fight by dividing and attacking it."

"Now I can only draw it slowly and recharge my batteries."

He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "That being said, Your Majesty, Zhang Jicai is absolutely extraordinary. This man has been able to defend Bianzhou for many years, and he has fought against Xianbei several times and retreated completely. He can be regarded as a generation of heroes."

"Enough." Wu Junyi's face sank like water. "Zhang Jicai broke his promise and turned against each other. I remember. Mr. Deng, thank you, you can go back."

Only then did Shen Yu realize that the clothes on her back were soaked through in May.

In addition to discussing court affairs and correcting memorials, there are daily lectures every single day. Shen Yu watched Wu Junyi's serious expression and listened attentively to the old scholar's lecture for a while, and even watched him go to the yard to practice arrows, and changed his mind when he came back. a suit of clothes.

It wasn't until Wu Junyi had dinner that Shen Yu and the others withdrew.

Before leaving, Shen Yu caught a glimpse that the dinner at this table was nothing more than three dishes and one soup, all of which were boiled cabbage, mushrooms, sea vegetables, etc., and there were no rare treasures. The cost of going to the Shen family.

Reminiscent of the people's sneer when Ming Xuan Emperor succeeded to the throne and issued an edict to observe the filial piety of the late emperor, Shen Yu sighed in his heart and turned his back.

Unexpectedly, he walked halfway, but was stopped.

Wu Junyi changed into a black robe trimmed with white because he was sweating in the bath, and his wet hair was draped down, making his features more picturesque and elegant. "Zhang Sheren and Shen Zhuangyuan are working hard today, and give us a banquet."

Zhang Sheren thanked him again and again, and Shen Yu also saluted along with him.It's just that he vaguely feels that this banquet doesn't seem to be given every day.Could it be that he just happened by chance?

Li Qi immediately led the two of them to a banquet, which was different from the emperor's porridge with few dishes, but this was a banquet prepared by the imperial dining room for the lecturers of Jingyan.

Zhang Sheren was full of praise for the wild game that he couldn't eat on weekdays.Shen Yu thought about His Majesty who was still a vegetarian, and she lost her appetite, instead she mostly picked up some vegetables.

The two of them returned to the living room after their stomachs were full.

Now that the new emperor is enthroned, it is time to sort out the "Life Records" and compile the Records of Yingzong.The Hanlin was so busy that there were people coming and going in the living department, browsing the materials everywhere.

Busy work is busy, the completion of the record is a real achievement, and everyone involved will be promoted.So these people are both in pain and happy.

From this point of view, Shen Yu's position can not only face the saints, but also be able to get the light of Xiushilu, which is really very good.

However, these Jinshi who are waiting to be selected are only listened to by the Ministry of Officials. No matter where they study with officials, they only have a place in the Ministry of Officials.The champion, the second place, and Tanhua have a place, and the others can only squeeze outside.

From time to time, officers will come to inspect.

For example, at this meeting, not long after Shen Yu sat down, Mr. Zhang, the official doctor, came.

Zhang Min is Shen Yu's room teacher, and Shen Yu hastily got up to greet him.Zhang Min turned around, and finally came to his side, and said with a smile, "Bo Jin is the number one scholar who everyone looks at now, and the old man walked around before finding you."

"The teacher was joking. The student is following Sheren today and is not in the official department." Shen Yu said hastily.When he was on family leave, he also handed greeting cards and gifts to Zhang's mansion.It's just that Zhang Min was promoted not long ago, and he had a lot of entertainment, so he couldn't be free, and he couldn't visit in person.

"I know I'm guilty, but I have to ask the teacher to drink a few cups of matchmaker tea." Zhang Min lowered his voice and asked him with a smile: Many people have come to my house, I don't know which lady you are looking for? "

Shen Yu didn't expect that going around was still for his marriage.His face suddenly turned red.Yang Feng and Chen Hongpeng were already engaged and married, they didn't understand his difficulties at all, instead they laughed softly.

"The student is busy studying right now, so I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of this matter. What's more... what's more, the student's father once went to the temple to divination. It is said that the minister should not marry early, and he is unwilling to talk about this matter early." Shen Yu could only talk nonsense. , first perfunctory.

Zhang Min left disappointed.

Shen Yu was very embarrassed, this excuse could only be used for a while, Zhang Min was not as easy to deal with as Zhou Kuang, and Zhang Min had a daughter of the right age at home, if he wanted to... Just thinking about it, he would feel endless trouble.

You have to find a way to at least avoid him.

So, after one month, the first assessment of the Ministry of Officials was over, and she faced the saint as No.1. When asked what reward she wanted, Shen Yu replied: "I invite you to study in Wenyuan Pavilion."
