After exhausting myself to death

Chapter 40 The monarch and his ministers have met with each other (40)

Shen Minghuan felt that Lu Suiping was trying to spite him, but he looked at the other person's expression suspiciously and couldn't find any evidence, so he had to give up and said, "Okay, you can concentrate on dividing the land for the people, and leave the Cui family to me."

Lu Suiping frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the Cui family has a good reputation. They often give out porridge and do good deeds. If you kill them, you may lose the support of the people."

"Losing the support of the people?" Shen Minghuan was extremely surprised: "Do I still have this thing?"

Lu Suiping: "..."

Lu Suiping was a little angry. Who caused you to be in this situation? Isn’t it all you?

"It sounds like the prince is quite proud?" Lu Suiping looked serious, and when he caught a glimpse of Shen Minghuan's suspicious eyes, he was just a little confused.

Once again, no evidence could be found.

Shen Minghuan looked away, "Master Lu has been talking a lot lately."

Lu Suiping's expression froze.

This man just said it casually, but he knew what he was talking about. Why he talked so much now, it was obvious that he didn't talk before.

But how to explain this?

Prince, in fact, I looked down on you in the past and disdained to be associated with you, so I refused to say anything.

Is this appropriate? Shen Minghuan may not care, but how can he feel comfortable with it.

Lu Suiping was too embarrassed to speak. At this time, Chen Xin asked to see him, and he was relieved.

Chen Xin also held a thick stack of lists and said, "According to the prince's wishes, these Jinshi will be sent to various ministries for training. These are the ones with outstanding performance. Please take a look at the prince."

The list was very detailed, and Chen Xin made annotations next to the names, describing each person's performance during this period, as well as their strengths and weaknesses, and even his personal evaluation.

One look at it and you can tell that it's been done very carefully.

Shen Minghuan praised: "Well done."

He is really good at recognizing people. He can find anyone Chen Xin is so capable, and he is getting more and more capable.

Chen Xin waited for a while, but did not wait for the "but" that followed. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with the joy of being recognized, "I didn't do anything, the prince is the one who does the most hard work."

"Humility." Shen Minghuan rolled her eyes at him, feeling that this person would not flatter his boss to please him. Even if he did not praise his talent and outstanding talents, he would even praise his handsome appearance.

Working hard? Shen Minghuan felt guilty when he heard this. After all, he felt that he had already assigned a lot of work to them.

If he hadn't understood Chen Xin, he might have misunderstood that this was a sarcastic comment on him.

Chen Xin instantly understood Shen Minghuan's eyes, and all the little joy and pride disappeared.

This guy really means it.

He sincerely believed that Chen Xin had done a very good job in this matter, and he also truly felt that his role in it was not worth mentioning.

No.

There are so many officials. Shen Minghuan has to set each person's daily work content, and it must be controlled within the range of what can be accomplished.

For this alone, he must first understand the abilities of each official and the difficulty of various official duties.

With such a huge workload and such indispensable work content, how could this person reasonably feel that what he did was insignificant?

Chen Xin felt a little sour in his heart.

He is responsible for the follow-up arrangements for all Jinshi in this batch, and has a lot of contact with them on weekdays. Therefore, he clearly knew that the most unpalatable version of Shen Minghuan's reputation was circulated among this group of literati who had been personally discovered by this person.

How talented are the people selected by Shen Minghuan? But their talents turned into sharp swords, and the first one they aimed at was their own Bole.

Scholars in the officialdom are still a little restrained because they are afraid and guilty, but these stupid young people don't. Full of sincerity and a lonely voice, they believed that they were doing justice, so their words were particularly sharp and vicious.

When a gentleman breaks off a relationship, he would not say anything bad, even if he said something bad about "Jiuyuehan", but if the target is Shen Minghuan, all these principles can be erased. If Shen Minghuan really died because of the freezing cold in the snow in June, wouldn't it be a great joy for them to do justice for God and worthy of universal celebration?

After Yin Shuhuai's death, Chen Xin began to hibernate patiently. He had long been accustomed to being expressionless and would not let others see when he was angry.

But despite enduring it for so many years, he would still change his expression instantly when hearing some harsh words at certain times.

But what can he do? Shen Minghuan didn't let them explain.

This man would not let them tell the truth, and would not allow them to fight for him in a literary manner.

It was obvious that both he and Qu Zhengcheng were very knowledgeable and eloquent. Who can’t use the pen as a knife and the mouth as a sword?

But Shen Minghuan was not sure.

It turns out that I have passed through Huahua, and I can no longer see Pinglu. There are only earth mountains to go north, and you can go through the poor valleys through the mountains.

——I am willing to show my hard work and lose my strength to Mingjun.

Their master didn't allow it, so they had no choice but to follow orders.

*

Lu Suiping was lucky enough to see Shen Minghuan's assassination scene again.

Shen Minghuan's martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world, but in this situation, he usually does not need to take action personally. Chen Xiaoyu, who is always by his side, will always stand in front of him at the first opportunity.

A good general is doing the job of a bodyguard. Not only does the person involved have no objection, but he feels like he has obtained a treasure and works conscientiously.

The only people in the world that the aristocratic family could buy were those with Three-Legged Cat Kung Fu, and they were obviously no match for Chen Xiaoyu.

But this time there was something unexpected.

The people who came to assassinate Shen Minghuan were the two famous coaches of the trap camp, Gu Chenglin and He Zhang.

Although they are reluctant to admit it, it is true that Shen Minghuan gave them great freedom and rights, allowing them to reintegrate the trapped camp and solve the problems left over from before.

News from Kyoto came intermittently. Fortunately, knowing that His Majesty was safe now, they could bear to stand still for the time being. After all, if there is anything, being trapped in the camp is Luo Xiuyuan's most important sword and shield.

Although the letters sent by Luo Xiuyuan and Chang Mao both stated that Shen Minghuan's affairs had hidden secrets, Gu Chenglin regarded this as reporting good news rather than bad news. Having personally seen Shen Minghuan lead troops to surround Luo Xiuyuan and use Luo Xiuyuan's safety to threaten his ministers, this concept is not easy to change.

Luo Xiuyuan originally wanted to find a time to explain to his uncle seriously and formally in person, but Gu Chenglin was so busy during this period that he had to put it off again and again.

He never expected that Gu Chenglin would return to the city privately again, and the first time he would see him was not to meet him, but to assassinate Shen Minghuan.

After all, Chen Xiaoyu was young. With his ability, it was difficult to deal with one of them, let alone one against two, and he quickly fell behind.

Shen Minghuan acted as if this matter had nothing to do with him, "Ah, Chen Xiaoyu, you can't react well, right, right! Tsk, why are you retreating? This is obviously a feint..."

Chen Xin stood up from his seat with a nervous look on his face and stood in front of Shen Minghuan. Shen Minghuan looked at the "fearful" sweat on his forehead and naturally pulled him behind him.

Lu Suiping smiled bitterly, "My lord, aren't you worried?"

"With me watching, what are you worried about?" Shen Minghuan asked without humility.

Lu Suiping was stunned and realized that they were not talking about the same thing.

What he asked was: As a target of assassination, aren't you worried?

Shen Minghuan's answer was: As long as he is watching, Chen Xiaoyu will be fine.

The two "worries" have different objects.

Lu Suiping thought that he already respected this person very much, but as time passed, this respect and love actually increased day by day.

The porcelain ornaments all over the room were shattered on the floor. Fortunately, the room was big enough and could not affect Shen Minghuan and the three people in the innermost room.

Chen Xiaoyu tried his best to resist, trying not to let the enemy get close to Shen Minghuan. However, in the end, they were unable to do anything and could only retreat steadily.

Shen Minghuan, who was watching with great interest, suddenly raised his eyes and looked outside the door, where a figure was passing by.

He snorted coldly, "Chen Xiaoyu, come back."

Chen Xiaoyu couldn't handle both of them, so if there was another one, there would be no need to fight.

Chen Xiaoyu retreated as instructed. Shen Minghuan waved his sleeves and was about to take action when the figures flying past the door blocked the attacks of Gu Chenglin and He Zhang.

"Huh? It's kind of fun." Shen Minghuan obediently stepped back a little, trying to give them more room to perform.

The visitor is the leader of the palace guards, Luo Xiuyuan’s confidant, and Gu Chenglin’s adopted son——

"Chang Mao?" Gu Chenglin restrained his strength and did not forget to pull He Zhang forward, "What are you doing? Get out of the way."

"Father, there is a misunderstanding." Chang Mao explained hurriedly.

Gu Chenglin didn't care if it was a misunderstanding or not, he only knew that Shen Minghuan was standing in front of him now, defenseless and alone! If you miss such a good opportunity, there may be no next time.

He brushed aside Chang Mao who was blocking him and took a step forward. This time it was He Zhang's turn to grab him.

He Zhang's eyes flashed with anger, but his expression was cold, "It's too late."

This amount of time was enough for the palace guards to notice something was wrong. In full view of the public, if Shen Minghuan does something wrong, his five thousand soldiers will surely riot, and Zhuo Feichen, who is far away in the north to fight against the enemy, might go crazy.

As expected by He Zhang, the palace was quickly surrounded. However, the people outside did not receive instructions and did not act rashly. They just watched the two people who sneaked into the palace with vigilance from a distance.

Gu Chenglin and He Zhang both had a look of unwillingness in their eyes. They originally wanted to kill Shen Minghuan quietly to minimize the turmoil.

pity.

Gu Chenglin had secret contact with those generals, and he didn't know what Shen Minghuan fed them [***]. They were all loyal to him, and even Zhuo Feichen was not spared.

It is truly the first strange thing in history that a character like Shen Minghuan has so many supporters.

There was no good show to watch, Shen Minghuan sighed regretfully, "Commander Chang, long time no see."

After leaving the Shen family, Shen Minghuan has been living in the palace. Although it is a bit strange, maybe there is such a lack of fate between people that he never meets the commander who is responsible for patrolling the entire palace.

Shen Minghuan was very amazed by this, and he said with great interest: "Your Excellency, you have come all the way, it's really impressive. Ah, I can't say that, this is the palace, not my home..."

The phrase "came from afar" was obviously a bit yin and yang. Chang Mao was silent, lowered his head and said without temper: "Your Majesty, I apologize to you on behalf of my foster father."

Gu Chenglin frowned, "Chang Mao!"

"You should indeed apologize." Although he said that everything was his plan, Shen Minghuan was still unhappy when he saw Gu Chenglin's attitude, "Commander Chang, this is the palace, not the palace of the Lingwang. Your Majesty is the emperor now, not the Lingwang or the prince. ”

He was referring to Sang and Huai, implying that Gu Chenglin and He Zhang did not understand etiquette. If it were not his nephew who was sitting on the throne now, he would have been beheaded for his behavior.

But Huai didn't curse, Sang listened.

Chang Mao stood aside guiltily.

The fact that these two people could enter and leave the palace so easily had something to do with him.

But Shen Minghuan was right. In the past, Gu Chenglin did not need to notify when he entered Prince Ling's Mansion, but now that Luo Xiuyuan's identity has changed, his mentality should also change.

He thought, Shen Minghuan really worked hard and took the opportunity to give him some advice just after he was assassinated.

This man is truly considerate of His Majesty.
