Chapter 117 Official Assessment
Lu Huishen took the food box and promised to find a chance to give the emperor a taste, and Lord Ten Weng smiled sweetly and bowed.Glancing at Shen Yu, he also bowed to Shen Hao, then turned and ran away.Looking at the back of the Ten Weng Lord, Shen Xi didn't expect that a royal lord would be quite polite.
Holding the food box, Lu Huishen smiled: "Master Shen laughed at me. Lord Ten often sends the emperor some cakes made by himself. Even if the emperor doesn't eat, he never complains. He is a good boy. It's a pity that his mother, Concubine Bai From a businessman, the status is too low."
Concubine Bai?People from the Bai family?Shen Hao understands that Lu Huishen is not saying that Concubine Bai's concubine status is low, but that her status is too low among all the female brothers born in the official family in the harem.Lord Ten... Concubine Bai... Shen Yu glanced at Lu Huishen, Eunuch Lu...seemed to be interesting.
Shen Xi bid farewell and went home, and the people he met on the road cheered happily.He was at a loss as to why today was like Chinese New Year.
Back home, Shen Xi was bumping into the students who were about to leave.The students saluted and congratulated, and then praised Qiao Ke.
After personally sending the students to the door, Shen Wei went back to the hall and saw Qiao Ke was even more puzzled: "What happened? What are they here for?"
"Naturally discuss how to rescue you." Qiao Ke greeted him with a smile, "You don't know. As soon as the news of your imprisonment spread, the people fell into an uproar. I heard that the family members of the deceased held the spirit tablet and led people to block the Jingzhao Yamen. , keep saying that you are avenging justice for the people.”
"No wonder you let me out so quickly." Shen Hao pulled Qiao Ke back to the house and said, "Someone will ask them to leave later."
"Aren't you going by yourself?" Qiao Ke said amusedly, "Aren't you afraid that they will say bad things about you? You don't even go to see them if they help you."
Entering the bedroom, Shen Xi asked Qiao Ke to sit down: "What do you see, I don't have that much time. They help me? I think it's just adding to the chaos."
"You can't say that, they also have good intentions." Qiao Ke patted Shen Yu's hand and added, "Do bad things with good intentions."
"Okay, let's not talk about this." Shen Yu squeezed Qiao Ke's hands and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I can't continue to investigate."
"The future will be long, and the other party will show his feet one day." Qiao Ke comforted Shen Yu, "It's you, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Shen Xi hesitated for a moment and asked, "What do you think of the palace? Do you like it?"
Qiao Ke stared at Shen Yu's serious eyes, thought for a moment and smiled: "What about the palace? It's magnificent and magnificent, but things that are too gorgeous are impersonal and too cold. It's good, but I don't like it. After you You are not allowed to take me to the banquet."
Hearing Qiao Ke's words, Shen Xi breathed a sigh of relief: "I found something interesting today. The Bai family remembers it? The daughter of the Bai family entered the palace as a concubine and gave birth to a Weng Lord. Today I saw the ten Weng Lord, seven or eight You can’t guess what he did. He personally made a box of dim sum and wanted to give it to the emperor and pass it on to Eunuch Lu. The strange thing is that Eunuch Lu is very kind to him. Do you understand what I mean?”
After thinking for a while, Qiao Ke nodded: "Understood. The palace is a place that eats people and doesn't spit out their bones. Eunuch Lu is not a person who is easy to be soft-hearted. Even if the ten-year-old Lord has some money because of the relationship with the concubine Bai's family, Lu Eunuch Lu is not that easy to buy. If Eunuch Lu's attitude is sincere, this is indeed an interesting thing. It seems that you are very curious about this ten-man lord."
"Right?" Shen Xi looked very happy, "Is it the concubine Bai's calculation to capture Eunuch Lu's heart, or the Lord Shiweng's straightforward nature? It's worth looking forward to, right? I have to find a chance to inquire more about Shiweng. Lord's business, it's so interesting."
"Don't be funny. You haven't eaten yet, aren't you hungry?" Qiao Ke asked Pinhui to set up a meal, "You can't change your curiosity. Lord Shi is only so big, you can slow down Watch slowly until you lose interest."
"What? Is Fu Lang jealous?" Shen Yu hugged Qiao Ke and said with a smile, "Isn't it okay for me to accompany you more in the future?"
Qiao Ke frowned: "It's full of civil and military affairs, and you spend the most time at home. How dare I say anything."
"I'm busy these days, and I'm tired too." Shen Xi kissed Qiao Ke's forehead lightly, "It's just time to rest. I will spend more time with you."
"Yeah." Qiao Ke snuggled into Shen Hao's arms, as lazy as a cat, "Speaking of which, it's almost time for officials to be transferred."
"I know." Shen Yan smiled slightly, "I already have plans. Don't worry."
Nodding his head, Joko stopped asking about it completely.After that, Qiao Ke sent Pinhui to appease the people.As for their question why they didn't see Shen Xie, Pinhui replied that Shen Xie was unwell and could not move in bed.Shen Xi was lying on the bed, lying on the bed and sleeping.
The next day, Shen Xi began to ask for leave due to illness, maybe when he would recover.The emperor sent people to condolences and rewarded him with some things.There are rumors among the common people that Shen Xi fell ill after walking around in prison.Many people went to the general's mansion to inquire, and all the guards replied that it was not a serious illness.
However, Shen Yu, who was supposed to be sick in bed, started to get up early to practice martial arts. He wanted to eliminate the insensitivity caused by the delay in his body for several years.He wants to better protect Joko.After sweating all over, Shen Xi entered the room just in time to have breakfast with Qiao Ke.
Shen Xi picked up food for Qiao Ke, and said his decision: "Let Peng Da be your guard in the future. I'm also relieved."
Qiao Ke paused, looked up at Shen Hao: "Why? Do you still mind him?"
"No. It's that he is trustworthy." Even though Pinhui was present, Shen Hao still said bluntly, "The guards in the mansion, Fusheng and other abilities are good, but I can't trust them completely. They may be loyal now, but who knows in the future. People's hearts It's the easiest to change. I trust Peng Da because of your previous thoughts. If something happens, he will risk his life to protect you, and that's enough."
"What's more, he's from the palace?" Qiao Ke put down his chopsticks and stared at Shen Hao, "Are you discussing with me, or just telling me to make a decision?"
Knowing that Qiao Ke was angry, Shen Yan sighed and put down his chopsticks: "I hope you can agree with my decision. You know that the situation is very complicated now, and the man behind the scenes has not been found out yet. If he can target you once, there will be a second and third time." times. I don’t even know who he will bribe and how he will deal with you. Mr. Hu has been a member of the Six Lords for many years, and he can be instigated, let alone others.”
Qiao Ke was silent, he understood Shen Hao's worry and fear.Shen Hao rubbed the painful forehead: "To be honest, in my opinion, there is only Peng Da in the whole capital who can be trusted. He is not good at martial arts, but he can practice. But no one can match his loyalty to you."
Not knowing what to say, Qiao Ke picked up the chopsticks and ate silently, but the food in his mouth had no taste at all.Lowering his head, Qiao Ke's eyes were red: "Did I hold you back? Would it be better if I wasn't here?"
"No." Shen Yan shook his head and held Qiao Ke's hand tightly, "You are my pillar. Without you, how would I persevere?"
Looking up at Shen Yu, Qiao Ke pursed his lips and nodded: "Okay. Let Peng Da be my guard."
The two looked at each other and smiled, silence speaks louder than sound.Listening to what the two said, Pinhui lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
In July, the Ministry of Officials began to check the achievements of officials, and at the same time conduct evaluations for promotion of officials.Officials above the third grade are assessed by the emperor, and the rest are assessed by the Ministry of Punishment.Political achievements are checked by the head of the Six-rank Officials Department, and the promotion and promotion of officials outside Beijing is in the hands of this person.
Shen Xi didn't care about the assessment at all, he didn't care whether his official position was promoted or demoted.But he had to talk to the head of the official department.
On this day, Shen Xi walked into the teahouse.When he went up to the second floor and saw an official, he was surprised and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Dong to drink tea here."
Master Dong hurriedly stood up and saluted: "I have met Master Shen." He had heard of this man's reputation, so he did not dare to do anything.
"Hello, Mr. Dong." Shen Xie joked, and sat down to let Xiaoer serve tea, "Mr. Dong like the tea here?"
"Yes." Faced with Shen Xi, Mr. Dong was a little at a loss, "The officials often come here to drink tea."
"It's a coincidence." Shen Hao is very familiar, "I don't like drinking tea very much, so I can only drink a few sips from this one."
"It is true that the tea here is the best, and it is a great honor that Mr. Shen likes it." The second served tea, and Mr. Dong poured two cups, "Master, please."
"Please." Taking a sip, Shen Hao put it down, "Speaking of which, I have been in the capital for almost a year. A lot of things really happened."
"Master Shen came to Beijing last September?" Master Dong said while drinking tea, "I heard that you stayed in a small town for two years."
"Sihai County. The county magistrate's surname is Sun, and he takes good care of me." Shen Hao asked Xiaoer to serve some snacks, and said while eating, "He helped me a lot, I am very grateful to him, and I don't know if I can see him again in the future. We probably won’t see each other until we are old and return home.”
Mr. Dong was thoughtful, he observed Shen Hao, and determined that Shen Hao was just chatting.Master Dong smiled: "Not necessarily."
"Don't talk about this." Shen Xi said with a look of lovelessness, "I don't know what questions will be asked in this assessment. Maybe I will lose the black gauze hat I just put on. By the way, you officials Will you also participate in the assessment? The questions are the same?"
"This...will be tested later." Master Dong seemed unwilling to talk about this topic, "The topic should be different."
"That's right, if it's the same, it wouldn't be a bad thing." Shen Hao looked at Dong Darren and said, "How does Dong Daren think he will do well in the exam?"
"I don't know, you can only know after passing the exam." Master Dong changed the subject, "Master Shen is in good health?"
"Forget it." Shen Xi had an expression of not wanting to say this, and then got up to leave, "The Ministry of Punishment still has something to do, so leave."
"Master Shen, let's go." Master Dong stood up and cupped his hands.Shen Xi waved his hand, went downstairs to pay for the tea, and then left with a smile.
When Mr. Dong went downstairs to pay the bill, he was told that Shen Xi had already paid.He was silent for a moment, then turned and left the teahouse.Since Mr. Shen is generous, he doesn't mind selling Mr. Shen a favor.Master Sun from Sihai County...
After one thing was done, Shen Xi walked back to the Ministry of Criminal Justice much more briskly.If Mr. Dong is knowledgeable and interesting, he will naturally do something.
The evaluation of officials was in full swing, and Shen Hao was too lazy to cram for the moment, so he just wrote and wrote casually.He wished he could dismiss his officials so that he would not have to fight those people in the capital.After the exam, the rankings were announced, and Shen Hao was unexpectedly in the top few.
As expected.Shen Xi turned around and left. Although he knew he was doing something, outsiders saw that his political achievements were good.What's more, now that he is in the limelight, who is full of nothing to fight against him?Anyway, he dared to stab Mr. Hu, so he was afraid of others?
No matter the truth or not, all colleagues congratulated Shen Xi one after another.If there is anything to be happy about, Shen Xie said a few perfunctory words and left.
On the way, Shen Hao ran into Mr. Kong who was planning to read the list.Master Kong saluted Shen Xie and stood aside.
