The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits - Chapter 208
“What Ayu said is that Fangwei has devoted himself to the court, and I have always known that the child he picked up will be watched by others.”
If there is no disagreement, he will give him a chance, if there is, he will keep Fang’s family safe.
Under the moonlight, Shen Yu hooked Shang Junlin’s finger. He knew that Shang Junlin later sent someone to ask the young man, but unfortunately the information was limited. After Fang Jun came back, the young man was brought by him to teach him. As a junior in his own family.
How Fang Jun arranges the young man is his personal affairs, even the emperor, it is not easy to intervene, Shang Junlin doesn’t like to ask the subject matter, if this young man said that he has met someone who looks the same as Shen Yu, he will not give more. The other side pays attention.
The wind was very cold at night, Shen Yu and Shang Junlin walked around and returned to the bedroom.
After bathing, Shen Yu leaned on the soft couch, and the maid took a hand stove to dry his hair.
Shang Junlin sat on the other side to appraise the papers, Dahuan flourished, and the emperor Shang Junlin needed to check a lot every day. Even with the assistance of the Prime Minister, Fang Jun and other ministers, there were still endless papers every day.
After his hair was almost dry, Shen Yu waved away the palace maid, got up and walked to Shang Junlin’s side: “Is Your Majesty not finished yet?”
He lowered his head, his hair slipped from his shoulders, and fell meanderingly on the table and the folds.
Shang Junlin stopped writing: “There are some more.”
“Isn’t the day’s approval already finished?” Shen Yu gathered his hair and removed it from the fold.
“It was sent in by the cabinet at night.”
Shen Yu looked at the memorial, what was written on it was not a major matter, and could be handled by the cabinet ministers on their own.
Shen Yu opened the other books, and without exception, they were all the same.
“Your Majesty let the Prime Minister and the others approve them. You don’t need to read them in person.”
Shen Yu found out before that Shang Junlin’s affairs with Da Huan can be said in detail, and he will handle everything personally. Before, it was because the aristocratic family was in power, and Shang Junlin couldn’t trust them. Now the aristocratic family has been suppressed almost, and the promoted They are all their own people, and they can leave less important matters to them.
“I’m used to it.” Shang Junlin closed the book, thinking about it too. Now that the court is under his control, he doesn’t need to be as hands-on as before. In fact, the prime minister and Fang are fully capable of reviewing these books.
“If Your Majesty is worried, it’s fine to let them go through it after the approval. You don’t need to approve it in person.”
When Shen Yu worked beside King Yue in his previous life, King Yue would never ask about many things. Shen Yu was sure that King Yue didn’t know as much about many things as he did.
“What Ayu said is.”
Shang Junlin put the pen on the pen holder, reached out and took Shen Yu into his arms, and instructed Eunuch Meng: “Tomorrow, you will send these documents back to the cabinet, and let them send them to the palace after they have been approved. This will be the case for future documents.”
“Yes.” Eunuch Meng brought the little **** forward and put away the book on the table.
Shen Yu remembered the contents of the booklet he casually glanced at just now, and asked, “The noble family wants to use the power of the imperial court to restrict movable type printing?”
Shang Junlin: “Most of them know that there is a shadow of me in this matter, and the question is just to test my attitude.”
Shen Yu: “What is your majesty going to do?”
Shang Junlin: “This matter really requires the court to come forward. If the court does not come forward, how can the method be extended to every place in Dahuan in the shortest time? It is too slow to rely on the power of the people alone.”
Shen Yu: “The aristocratic family will not be happy to see this scene.”
Shang Junlin: “I didn’t expect them to be happy when I did this.”
The next morning, Shang Junlin told the story, and as expected, he was strongly opposed by the family.
This step completely exceeded the family’s expectations.
When they saw that the new printing method was only spread in secret among the people, they thought that Shang Junlin would definitely not want to make a big fuss, and directly confronted the aristocratic family. Remember the straight ball.
“Your Majesty, no.”
Several noble family ministers came out and knelt in front of the imperial court.
“Oh?” Shang Junlin supported his lower jaw with one hand and looked down with interest, “Why not?”
Why not? Of course, because this matter is too unfavorable for the family.
But such a reason cannot be said in plain sight.
Several ministers, you look at me, I look at you, for a while.
“Since there is no reason for this, this matter…”
“Your Majesty, no!” An old official from an aristocratic family interrupted Shang Junlin’s words.
Shang Junlin looked at him displeasedly: “Aiqing may as well explain the reason.”
His tone was calm, it could even be said to be genial, but none of the ministers present would be so foolish as to feel that his mood was the same as the one he showed.
Being watched by the man’s eyes without the slightest emotion, the old minister broke out in cold sweat on his back. It was obviously just an extremely calm gaze, which gave people a huge sense of oppression for no reason.
“Chen…” The old minister was heartbroken, “I think this move is extremely unfavorable to Da Huan…”
“I see, it’s not bad for Da Huan, it’s bad for you, right? I know very well what you think and do. Don’t think that if I don’t pursue it, I just let it go.”
After speaking, the court was silent.
No one dared to really offend Shang Junlin. Countless lessons from the past show that if you go against Shang Junlin, you will be the only one who will be unlucky in the end.
Now Shang Junlin is what the people want, what everyone expects, and the prestigious ministers in the court are also facing him. If the aristocratic family wants to get hold of him, they have to measure themselves first.
“His Majesty seems to have made a lot of fire today, and sent off several ministers.” Mu Xi said while tying his hair for Shen Yu.
“For what?”
“It seems that the family doesn’t want His Majesty to do anything, but His Majesty is determined to do it.”
Thinking of the conversation with Shang Junlin at night, Shen Yu roughly guessed what happened in the courtroom.
“Has your majesty come back yet?”
Mu Xi looked away: “Meng Gong Gong sent someone here, saying that His Majesty wants to discuss matters with the ministers, so that the son does not have to wait, does the son want to pass the meal?”
“Pass it on.”
The meal in the small kitchen had already been prepared, and it could be presented only after the master gave an order. Soon after Mu Xi went out, he brought the maid to bring the meal in.
When he is alone, Shen Yu is not very picky when he eats. Mu Xi discovered this early, and while preparing dishes for Shen Yu, he said, “Young Master is not the same when he is alone when he is dining.”
“Why is it different?”
“When Your Majesty is here, Young Master is more selective.”
Mu Xi has been by Shen Yu’s side for many years, and is very familiar with some of Shen Yu’s habits. In the past, when he was in Zhenbei Hou’s Mansion, he was treated poorly. Although Shen Yu was picky about what he entered, he was not as powerful as he is now. Under the intentional indulgence, it can be said to be more severe than before, and he is not willing to wrong himself at all.
Mu Xi didn’t say that Shen Yu didn’t feel it. After being brought up, he thought about it carefully. It seemed that it was indeed the case. When he was with Shang Junlin, he would always indulge himself more unconsciously.
It wasn’t like this when he first entered the palace. At that time, all he knew about Shang Junlin came from other people’s mouths, and he was jealous of the man who was called a tyrant in his previous life. Thinking of Shang Junlin, I just feel full of trust.
It turned out that before he knew it, the line of defense in his heart had been broken, and he did not resist this feeling.
He originally thought that his feelings for King Yue in his previous life were love, but now that he thinks about it, if it is really love, then there are too many things mixed in this love. Shackles in the name of love.
This “love” he thought drove him to do things for the King of Yue unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. Why was he so certain in his previous life that he liked the King of Yue?
Shen Yu carefully recalled the events of his previous life, but found that there were no traces at all, as if naturally, he fell into the giant net woven by the King of Yue with love, lost all judgment, and was driven by him.
With a dull pain in his head, Shen Yu closed his eyes, no longer thinking about the past life.
Now he can basically be sure that in the past life, there are many doubts that he did not find.
After the early dynasty, Shang Junlin left the Prime Minister, Fang Jun and several ministers to discuss matters in the imperial study.
Regarding movable type printing, the earliest known is the Ministry of Housing, followed by the Ministry of Industry. Now the Ministry of Industry has mastered this new printing technique and has put it into use with good results.
“I want to set up a Taixue.” Shang Junlin said his thoughts straight to the point.
“Is it the Imperial Academy?”
“Similar but different, what I want to do is a school that covers Mongolian learning.”
If you want to run a school, there are many things involved, whether people are willing to send their children to the school, where is the school, what kind of students are recruited… There are countless problems that need to be solved.
“It will be piloted in the capital first. The master’s candidates can be qualified by ordinary talents. They do not need to do top-level knowledge.
Hearing this, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, but it would be much simpler if they simply opened the door.
“You should discuss this matter by yourself. Within half a month, I want you to come up with a basic constitution.”
“The ministers obey the order.”
There were also aristocratic ministers present, such as Elder Duan Ge. He knew what impact this decision would have on the family, but he could not raise objections.
The current emperor, His Majesty, has long been out of their control.
After leaving the palace, the minister of the noble family who got the news came to him.
“My lord, does this matter come from your Majesty’s temper?”
“Otherwise, His Majesty just warned the noble family today, and we will oppose it before the specific regulations are out. What do you want His Majesty to think?”
“If you only run Mongolian schools, the problem is not that serious. I’m afraid this is just the beginning.”
“It seems that Your Majesty is determined to weaken the power of the family, so we can only suffer?”
Duan Ge’s eyes flashed, thinking of something, he fell silent.
“Your Majesty raised this matter, the aristocratic family did not object?” Shen Yu was quite curious about the reaction of the aristocratic family after learning about it from Shang Junlin’s mouth.
Although it is currently only running a Mongolian school, it may not be certain in the future, and the family should not have no reaction at all.
“They naturally want to oppose it, but now I don’t touch their interests much, so I’ll just wait and see for the time being. When it’s officially implemented, there’s bound to be some trouble.”
Shen Yu got up and sat next to Shang Junlin: “Since Your Majesty proposed it, there must be a way to deal with it, so I won’t worry about His Majesty.”
“Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Gu asked to see him. He said that the last time His Majesty and your noble lord asked him to study things, he tried out the results.” Eunuch Meng walked in and said.
Shen Yu’s heart skipped a beat. Imperial Physician Gu was mainly responsible for two things, one was his condition, and the other was “Scarlet Dream”, and the latter was ordered by him and Shang Junlin together.
