Chapter 241 Give it a try

Leaving the area where Yingfeng Tower is located, this is already the Suzaku Gate area of ​​the imperial city. He calculated that this is the future gathering area for luxury brand stores, and it has already been planned.

This is the area where the coming-of-age ceremony for the royal sons is held. There is no need to worry that no children from noble families or some despicable people will come here.

After he left, a woman in a white dress watched him leave on the Yingfeng Tower. Princess Nihuang, the new Jingzhao prefect who had a gloomy mind but a chivalrous heart, did change her mind a little.

She was worried about her marriage and did not want to choose a husband, but she knew in her heart that Emperor Liang was afraid of her. The 100,000 cavalry in Yunnan all followed her as their leader. If she did not get married, there was no way to keep her in the imperial capital. It was too dangerous. Although she herself had no intention of rebelling, she had no choice but to be a subject.

During this period, the entire imperial capital was in an uproar over her marriage, but even so, the name Shen Zheng would ring in her ears from time to time. She was an expert and could hear many people complaining about Shen Zheng's stubbornness.

Today he offended an official from the Ministry of Revenue and had his son detained from his home and brought to the government office. Tomorrow he will beat the nephew of the Minister of War with ten boards. Even some powerful and wealthy families, no matter how many people he offended, said that they would not be able to be an official. However, after getting to know him better, he found that he was handling the case impartially.

Even though I knew he had ulterior motives and was using me, I still did some good things.

……

It was another three court meetings. Shen Qingzhou had offended many people, but they all had reasons and evidence. Many people had no choice but to report him now, as it was a bit like revenge. They were all waiting for him to make a mistake, and they were also waiting for the princess's choice of a son-in-law to be over. All the officials knew what his majesty was thinking, and it was all clear, so they couldn't cause trouble now.

Even Prince Yu and the Crown Prince have not had any major disputes in the court recently, but they have each worked hard to make the people in their camp defeat everyone and marry Princess Nihuang.

Shen Qingzhou did not do much work in the city. A cement plant was being built. Although it was also being transferred from Tanzhou, one had to be built in the imperial capital as well. It would be too expensive to transport it from Tanzhou.

The construction site was just outside the city, and he had already prepared the Bagua formation. Over the years, his poem "Eight Diagrams" by Du Fu had directly caused many people to fall into the formation. This was the basis for the Shen family's business to have a monopoly.

On this day, when he returned to his mansion, an old friend asked to see him. He himself did not want to communicate much with the officials, but if it was the other party, he would give him face.

"Prajna has met Lord Shen."

"Miss Qin, we haven't seen each other for several years. Miss Qin is still as charming as ever." Qin Prajna was dressed in red, which was quite gorgeous and also quite aggressive.

"Lord Shen praised me."

"There's no need for us to be too polite. This is more than just a one-time meeting. What's the important matter that you're looking for me for?" Shen Qingzhou said. This is how he has acted over the years. He doesn't want to pretend.

"Lord Shen has been in Jinling for more than two months. Prajna was busy with other things some time ago and did not come to see him. Today I have some free time and come to see him. I have no other business.

However, Prince Yu, knowing that Prajna was coming to meet Lord Shen, brought the news specially. Prince Yu prepared a bed for him, looking forward to Lord Shen coming to his house for a chat.

Lord Shen has done a lot of righteous things in the imperial capital during this period, and many noble ladies from aristocratic families look at Lord Shen differently, but it is a pity that they have never been able to meet Lord Shen. "

"Miss Qin, let's not talk about these trivial matters. If there is nothing important, I have official business to attend to. Please do as you please, Miss Qin." Shen Qingzhou left without giving her face. What did he mean by arranging a blind date for him? But come to think of it, it seems that he should really find a woman.

Otherwise, Princess Nihuang and Qin Banruo are also fine. In recent years, they are the only two who look good. Mainly, I haven’t seen many female couples.

Qin Banruo had already guessed Shen Qingzhou's character and would not give her too much face. Therefore, she had spoken directly to him, but was still rejected directly. Forget it. Last time in Tanzhou, he sent people to beat her with a stick, which was still fresh in her memory.

a few days later.

The imperial capital was bustling with activity. Under the Yingfeng Tower, there was a large arena, where the martial arts competition took place.

Emperor Liang also had to attend on the first day. Of course, he only showed up to show his importance to this matter and his own attitude. The scene on the first day was not to his liking at all, and he still had to attend court. Although court sessions were only held once a week, during this period of time, there were visitors from various countries, so the frequency of court sessions was naturally higher.

Shen Qingzhou looked at the court card in his hand, his mind was no longer on the court. There were some people standing around him, but if you look closely, they were all a distance away from him. He had offended too many people, and everyone was used to this kind of situation.

Emperor Liang was also satisfied to see Shen Qingzhou like this. Shen Qingzhou had offended many people, so he naturally became a lone minister. Moreover, he was the Prince of Yu and was impartial. He had offended both camps. He liked this kind of minister who was loyal only to him and was capable.

Shen Qingzhou is not loyal to him, but he is loyal to justice. However, he is neutral at the moment and is not afraid of offending people. This is rare. There are many neutral people, and the only one who has been offended by both the Prince and Prince Yu's camp is him.

"Mr. Shen, you haven't got an engagement yet? Is there anything you can't tell me?" Emperor Liang suddenly said this. He was the emperor of Liang State. Although it was a little inappropriate, he could still say whatever he wanted.

He thought of Shen Qingzhou through Princess Nihuang. He had the Xuan Jing Division, so he naturally knew that although Shen Zheng was not of high birth, he was very capable, and had a powerful Shen family business behind him. That wealth was something even he had to look up to.

The Shen family's business has a unique business, and he actually wanted to gain some benefits. This time, Shen Qingzhou was able to become a prefect, directly from the fourth rank to the third rank, and this was also the reason. For an emperor, plundering and robbery cannot be done openly.

"It is easy to get priceless treasures, but it is hard to find a loving mother. I don't have a lover. My parents died early, and no one urged me, and I was not in a hurry. As a man, I have already pledged my body to the country, so it is difficult for me to pledge my body to you." Shen Qingzhou felt a little uncomfortable when he said this. He was used to hearing "it is hard to have a lover", so this change was a little uncomfortable.

Niang is the corresponding word for Lang, not mother. Everyone can understand it. Shen Qingzhou's sentence directly used two small copywritings, which really surprised everyone. This is not something that can be said casually. This person is so talented.

"Mr. Shen is worthy of being a world-famous poet. He said it well, well said. However, having children is a major matter of human relations and should not be taken lightly. After getting married and establishing a career, it should not interfere with state affairs. Do any of you have any good choices for your husband?" Emperor Liang said.

In fact, many officials had their eyes on the Shen family business, as they all knew about the Shen family business behind him. It was true that they were scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, but when it came to the level of the Shen family business, even His Majesty was jealous.

But everyone knows that Your Majesty must have his own ideas when he made this suggestion. If you really recommend it, what do you want to do, form a clique for personal gain?

"Your Majesty, Princess Nihuang is currently choosing a husband. Lord Shen might as well give it a try." The Minister of Revenue Lou Zhijing said.
