Zhao Zhongyu said: "Even I know about it, do you think General Gou doesn't know about it?"

Shen Ruhui's face turned pale.

Zhao Zhongyu sighed and said: "I have submitted a letter of impeachment this morning. Even if I didn't know it before, I should know it now."

He said: "Since coming to Yuncheng, Your Majesty has relied heavily on General Gou. His favor has become more and more popular. The emperor will not refuse anything General Gou asks for. Now the house where General Gou lives is comparable to the Fulin Palace where the emperor temporarily lives. Only this In three months, he has recruited more than 300 servants and maids, and six concubines, almost every ten days. If this continues, the house may not be able to accommodate any of his servants."

Shen Ruhui pursed his lips.

Zhao Zhongyu said: "Gou Xi respects His Majesty more than the King of Donghai, but he is far from upright and upright in the past. He is completely different. I, I am worried~"

Zhao Zhongyu sighed deeply.

Shen Ruhui clenched his fists and looked at him hesitantly, "Why does Zhao Shangshu keep asking me to go to Luoyang? Even if I know how to build a water mill, it's just a water mill."

Zhao Zhongyu also thought it was just a water mill, but it was worth writing two letters to urge Zhao Hanzhang. It might be more than just a water mill, but he couldn't say that, so he said: "But this is something related to people's livelihood."

He racked his brains to think of a reason, "You know, most of the people staying in Luoyang are old and weak. It is not easy to feed them. Water mills can reduce manpower. You are in Yuncheng, but His Majesty has no use for it. Si Nong The temple exists in name only, so why not go to Luoyang?"

Shen Ruhui became more and more suspicious. He endured it, but still couldn't hold it back. "People outside say that Governor Zhao has ambitions of Empress Lu. Is it true or not?"

Zhao Zhongyu laughed after hearing this, "If Han Zhang has the ambition of Empress Lu, then who is the emperor of the Han Dynasty?"

He said: "When she was in Luoyang, she had already refused to be the queen, and she was engaged. Up to now, Fu Changrong does not have any official position, and Fu Zhongshu's loyalty to His Majesty is unparalleled, and His Majesty also has great trust in him. Does Shen Siqing think he can be the emperor of the Han Dynasty?"

Shen Ruhui thought deeply and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He had not made up his mind. After all, it was so difficult to get from Luoyang to Yuncheng. Would he go back now?

Zhao Zhongyu also knew that he was entangled. Unfortunately, he had no family anymore and his clansmen were separated. Even if he wanted to bribe him, he couldn't do it. He could only be moved by emotion and reason.

It can be said that most of the officials who followed the emperor to move the capital to Yuncheng came here for Gou Xi.

In the past, Gou Xi had a clear distinction between public and private matters, was fair in dealing with matters, and was clean and honest. Many courtiers were afraid of him and would turn their heads away when they met, not daring to meet his eyes.

He was afraid before, but at the critical moment, the courtiers trusted him. It was precisely because of this trust that the emperor and courtiers finally agreed to move the capital.

But after arriving in Yuncheng, Gou Xi changed.

No, maybe it has changed a long time ago, but they were not together before, and it was not so obvious, so no one noticed.

But now, everyone is an official in Yuncheng and helps His Majesty together. Only then can we truly feel the changes in Gou Xi.

Shen Ruhui has no wife or children, and even his parents are gone. His people have died and dispersed in the past two years, and now he doesn't have much desire.

He just wants to follow the emperor and do some things with the court. If he can be lucky enough to get a good name or two, then his journey in this world will be in vain.

After seeing Zhao Zhongyu off, he walked anxiously around the fields. The servant watched for half an hour and saw that he was still walking around tirelessly and troubled, so he couldn't help asking, "What are you worried about?" ?”

Shen Ruhui sighed: "I'm afraid of death."

The servant lowered his head and continued to weed without saying anything. He was also afraid of death.

However, Shen Ruhui started chatting and squatted on the edge of the field and said to him: "The road is not easy to walk on. I'm really scared. What if I accidentally die on the road?"

The servant hesitated and said: "Since Zhao Shangshu invites you enthusiastically, I will definitely send someone to escort you."

"You don't know, there are not just one or two bandits on the road, but sometimes there are one hundred, two hundred, or even thousands. What should you do if you encounter such bandits?"

Servant: "Mr. Lang is not talking about bandits, but the refugee army."

"They pretend to be soldiers, but they are actually bandits."

Servant: "Aren't soldiers also bandits? The leading general is the bandit leader, and those who serve as officials in the same court as the bandit leader are bandits..."

Shen Ruhui raised his eyes and looked at him lightly. The servant immediately stopped talking and lowered his head to pull weeds. He accidentally pulled out a vegetable seedling. He pretended not to notice, rubbed it with the grass and put it on the ground. He stepped on it and moved his whole body forward, just in time to block Shen Ruhui's gaze.

Shen Ruhui glanced at his feet, endured it for the time being, and sighed deeply.

The servant said: "If you are afraid of death, then don't go. It's not bad to be in Yuncheng. Although the emperor can't think of you as the minister of Sinong Temple, there is still some lumina every month, and we have our own fields." and vegetables, you will never die of hunger.”

"But if there are only two words left in life: life and death, then why should I come to this world to live this life?" After all, Shen Ruhui is also somewhat ambitious in his heart. He wants to do something for himself and for this great country. The people of Jin did something.

Servant: "You are afraid of death."

Shen Ruhui was sad, "Even if I'm not afraid of death, I will be fine if I go to Luoyang?"

He said: "A man as honest and honest as Gou Xi has become like this. How can we know that Zhao Hanzhang will not be even worse than him when he becomes powerful in the future?"

The servant thought for a while and then said: "When the time comes when the husband leaves her, he will find another master."

Shen Ruhui was disheartened. Every time he thought about this, he didn't want to move. He just wanted to plant and weed in this room.

But... once Zhao Zhongyu came, the fire in his heart grew stronger.

Shen Ruhui is a troubled person. He struggled all afternoon and tossed and turned at night. He couldn't forcefully say that he would stay and not leave.

As soon as it dawned, he got up and sat by the bed. He was still in his underwear, neither washing nor tying his hair. He just sat there blankly.

The servant opened the cauldron and stirred it. When he saw that the wheat had boiled and blossomed, he closed the lid and turned off the fire.

He walked into the house and started packing his luggage.

Shen Ruhui came to his senses and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Pack your things and prepare to return to Luoyang."

Shen Ruhui asked: "When did I say I was going back to Luoyang?"

The servant was speechless. He put the collected clothes into the box and said, "If you don't go back, you can just take out your luggage and use it."

After being busy for half an hour, Shen Ruhui still sat down to eat wheat porridge. He chewed it carefully and couldn't help complaining: "We are leaving now, why don't we eat better? What are we going to do with the food?"

He said: "We should pound the wheat and cook wheat rice, or grind it into powder and make some cakes. We can pick some of the vegetables we grow, blanch them, and eat them with cakes."

The servant said with a look of disgust: "It's not delicious, and it's troublesome. How can there be too much food? I'll bring these with me then. I can eat them on the road and when I get to Luoyang."
