Shen Yutong's father, Censor Shen Hui, was a Jinshi in the first year of Anhe. Because the examiner at the time was Murong Lun, a cabinet scholar at the time, Shen Hui, who won the Jinshi according to the rules of the scientific examination, was regarded as Murong Lun's disciple. After worshiping Murong Lun at the dock, Shen Hui also followed the steps and became a censor of the Yushitai under the arrangement of Murong Lun...
Because of Shen Hui's relationship, the female members of the Shen family are also very close to the female members of the Murong family, especially Shen Yutong and Murong Qingwu. They are inseparable, as close as sisters, and learn from the same teacher.
The duty of the censor is to supervise the officials of the imperial court, and the position of the censor is used to fire shots in party disputes. Although Ye Mingsheng did not know Murong Lun's intention of placing Shen Hui in the censor's desk, Wang Xuecheng's investigation report He didn't say it, but he guessed that Murong Lun's purpose was to make Shen Hui a biting dog under his Murong family.
It is said that Murong Lun promised Shen Hui that he would use all the strength of the Murong family to help Shen Huicheng take a further step in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Therefore, Shen Hui was also loyal to Murong Lun, and under Murong Lun's secret instructions, he worked for the Murong family. The profit is to fire cannons in the court from time to time.
Huang Zhonghe, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, Chen Jian, the young minister of Dali Temple, and a group of officials were punished because of Shen Hui's advice, especially Huang Zhonghe, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, who was forced by Shen Hui to retire early and return home. Huang Tinghe hated Shen Hui deeply because of this, which also paved the way for Shen Hui to kill his head and confiscate his family...
Because he helped Murong Lun do several important things in succession, Murong Lun also tried to help Shen Hui in the early years of Anhe and took the position of the censor of the capital in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. However, due to the resistance in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, If it is too big, it will end in nothing!
In the third year of Anhe, the Guanzhong locust disaster hit the Household Department, which was ordered to provide disaster relief. Sun Da, the then Secretary of the Household Department, suddenly died of a serious illness. After a political game in the court, all parties came to a unified opinion on the candidate to succeed the Secretary of the Household Department. Then That is to choose one between Murong Lun, who was the left minister of the household department at the time, and Chen Shizhong, who was the right minister of the household department at the time.
The assessment criterion was the disaster relief. Each of them was responsible for an area. Whoever did well would take over the position of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Murong Lun made preparations with both hands in order to ascend the throne of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. On the one hand, he actively provided disaster relief. , on the other hand, he arranged for people to secretly provide disaster relief to Chen Shizhong.
The hard work paid off, and through Murong Lun's tricks, Chen Shizhong was indeed exposed. After Murong Lun got the handle, he handed it over to Shen Hui, who was the censor. Shen Hui took this handle and Chen Shizhong was bombarded in the court, which made Chen Shizhong extremely embarrassed, and he was finally defeated in the competition with the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs...
After Murong Lun became the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue as he wished, he also fulfilled his promise and strongly supported Shen Hui to become the censor of Qiandu in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Shen Hui became the censor of Qiandu.
At this time, Lin Shize and Shangguan Hongyuan were locked in a power struggle in the court. Murong Lun and Lin Shize belonged to the same camp, so under Murong Lun's instruction, Shen Hui often fired shots at Shangguan Hongyuan.
Although the public opinion at that time was very bad for Shangguan Hongyuan, because he held military power, Shangguan Hongyuan overthrew Lin Shize as he wished and became the powerful chief minister of the Zhou Dynasty. Shen Hui was also liquidated because of this. Shangguan Hongyuan, who is in the assistant position, wants to show his magnanimity and save his image because of his poor public opinion environment.
So at first Shangguan Hongyuan just wanted to demote Shen Hui and dismiss him from office. But at this time, his confidant Huang Zhongxin also hated Shen Hui because of what happened to his brother Huang Zhonghe, so he tried to persuade Shangguan Hongyuan again and again. However, due to Huang Zhongxin's obstruction, Shen Hui was eventually sentenced to confiscation of his home and beheading...
Shen Hui originally expected Murong Lun to help him, but under the powerful power of Shangguan Hongyuan at that time, Murong Lun had no choice but to give in and was forced to give up Shen Hui, a good dog he had cultivated.
After the autumn of the fourth year of Anhe, Shen Hui and the male members of his family were cut in half at the entrance of the vegetable market, and the female relatives in the family were also transferred to the Jiaofang Division. As a result, Shen Yutong fell into prostitution. However, with the secret help of Murong Qingwu, Shen Yutong became a member of the Jiaofang Division. Although they suffered some grievances, they were still in peace.
As she got older, Shen Yutong became more and more elegant and graceful, attracting countless spies in the Jiaofang Department, and one of them was Murong Shancai of the Murong family, who was the son of Murong Lun, the third master of the Murong family. The third brother, Murong Qingwu's third uncle, was born from a concubine, and was mediocre, greedy and lustful, so he just used the reputation of the Murong family to become a fifth-rank official with little power. !
And it was this Murong Shancai who set his sights on Shen Yutong and planned to let Shen Yutong be his concubine. Shen Yutong also had a very strong temperament because her parents and relatives all died because of the Murong family. Now Murong Shancai is trying to occupy her, so Shen Yutong, who was increasingly grief-stricken and angry, refused to obey and even stabbed Murong Shancai with scissors for trying to rape him...
Because of this incident, Murong Shancai was furious and even wanted to find someone to kill Shen Yutong. At this time, Murong Qingwu stood up and protected Shen Yutong from having a big quarrel with his third uncle. Murong Shancai was senior, but Murong Qingwu was very favored in the Murong family, so he could only lose in despair.
Although Murong Qingwu came forward to protect Shen Yutong, Murong Shancai's wife, Liu, was not a good person and was very jealous. She stubbornly believed that Shen Yutong had seduced Murong Shancai first, so she wanted to find someone to kill Shen Yutong. Although Murong Qingwu blocked it in the end, Shen Yutong could no longer stay in Luo'an and had no choice but to leave Liaoyang to avoid trouble.
After carefully reading the investigation report given to him by Wang Xuecheng, Ye Mingsheng narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the desk...
Wang Xuecheng's report finally solved my initial doubts about the relationship between Murong Qingwu and Shen Yutong. From these things, it can be seen that the relationship between Murong Qingwu and Shen Yutong is indeed in turmoil. The Murong family It is always a mountain that cannot be bypassed in the relationship between two people!
Although this doubt was solved, it brought another bigger doubt to Ye Mingsheng!
From the incident of Shen Yutong, we can find that this seemingly soft and weak woman has a very strong character. She would rather die than obey Murong Shancai, and even stabbed Murong Shancai with scissors. When dealing with Song Wenhui, she would rather pretend Even if he has tuberculosis, he is unwilling to commit himself to his side.
Then why was it that when he came to Ye, he was willing to be given to himself by An Miaoyi as a gift?
Could it be that my charm has become so great?
Or is there some unknown reason for this?

Yi Jing, in the Governor's Mansion.
General Shen Zhuo of the Yan Army walked into the side room under the guidance of his servants. Looking at the smiling young man on the chair, he bowed and said:
"I'm humble, I'd like to meet the eldest son!"
Seeing this, Zhao Jianan smiled and said:
"General Shen, there is no need to be polite!"
When Shen Zhuo stood up, Zhao Jian'an looked him up and down, then looked at the sturdy man in front of him with a tough look on his face and said slowly:
"The main reason I brought you back from Jizhou, General Shen, is to ask you about the situation in Jizhou..."
Although Shen Zhuo was a little confused about Zhao Jianan's question, he didn't know why Zhao Jianan, the eldest son, was not busy fighting for power with the second son Zhao Jianwen, but suddenly became concerned about the defense of Jizhou, but after all, the official The first level was enough to crush someone to death, and the other party was very likely to be Yan Jun's future successor, so Shen Zhuo still said respectfully:
"I would like to inform the eldest son, there are 11,130 people in our army in Jizhou, 8,000 of them are stationed in Jizhou City, and the rest are stationed in the surrounding towns and outposts. At present, everything is as before. No abnormalities were found!"
Zhao Jianan nodded when he heard this and continued to ask:
"Is Ye Mingsheng from the east still honest these days?"
Listening to Zhao Jianan's culture, Shen Zhuo showed a hint of disdain and said in a deep voice:
"The Fengwu Army under Ye Mingsheng is just a bunch of rabble. They just beat the people in Gongdu. Faced with our Yan Army, they don't dare to have any conflicts with us. Their patrolling soldiers just walk around when they see us. Yes, as cute as a rabbit in the grass!"
"It's okay for Ye Mingsheng to be as honest as he is now. If he has any evil intentions, I, Old Shen, don't need anyone else to go to Dongning, cut off Ye Mingsheng's dog head, and then capture An Miaoyi. , to see if she is as stunningly beautiful as the rumored reincarnation of Bao Si..."
Although he just asked casually, hearing that Shen Zhuo, who was in charge of Jizhou's defense, was so contemptuous of Ye Mingsheng, Zhao Jianan felt that something was wrong and warned:
"General Shen, the Fengwu Army may not be the opponent of our Yan Army, but Ye Mingsheng was also born in the Forbidden Army. He worked his way up from the bottom and was the king who defeated the Zhenwu Army in Liaoyang. Mu Zhi, now he has conquered the palace capital without any bloodshed, this person is definitely not as unbearable as you think!"
"General Shen, please don't let down your guard. Jizhou is the east gate of Youyan. Once Jizhou is lost, there will be no danger to the east of Yijing!"
After hearing Zhao Jianan's warning, Shen Zhuo disagreed, but under Zhao Jianan's eyes he could only pretend to be serious and nod in agreement.
Although he could see through Shen Zhuo's pretense at a glance, Zhao Jianan really couldn't speak too harshly for a general like Shen Zhuo who had a lot of troops. After all, he was just the eldest son now, not the governor of Youyan, and Zhao Jianan I don’t think Ye Mingsheng really has the courage to show his sword to You Yan at this time...
After caring about Jizhou's defense again and praising Shen Zhuo's abilities, Zhao Jian'an suddenly turned to Shen Zhuo and asked:
"General Shen, what do you think of our army's war in Yunbin?"
Shen Zhuo was startled when he heard this, thought for a while and then said very calmly:
"Although our army suffered a setback in Yunping this time, fortunately, the governor was unharmed, so the setback is only temporary. After the New Year, our army will surely regain its strength under the command of the governor and defeat Shanxi in one battle. The Yang Sword points to the Shangguan country thieves in Guanzhong!"
Listening to Shen Zhuo's useless polite words, Zhao Jian'an glanced at him lightly, and then said casually:
"Commander Father plans to dispatch a troop of troops from Youyan to Yunhe to support him later in the year. The person to lead the troops has not yet been decided. General Shen, you must be prepared... ··”
Shen Zhuo was a little surprised when he heard this, but he still nodded and said with Zhao Jianan's eyes:
"Thank you for reminding me, eldest son. I, Shen Zhuo, am a member of the Yan Army. If the Governor intends to use me, I will be bound to do so!"
"Very good! General Shen is indeed the pillar of our Yan Army!" Zhao Jian applauded and applauded:
After saying this, Zhao Jianan explained a few more words and then asked Shen Zhuo to leave. Just when Shen Zhuo bowed to say goodbye and was about to walk out of the door, Zhao Jianan's voice suddenly came from behind him again. .
"General Shen, I heard that you have acquired a few new beauties recently? Although you are beautiful, you must take care of your health!"
Hearing Zhao Jianan's meaningful words, Shen Zhuo's heart suddenly tightened, but he still said calmly:
"What the eldest son said is that you should obey the eldest son's teachings when you humble your position!"
"Go!"
After half a cup of tea, watching Shen Zhuo's back gradually turn into a small black dot, Zhao Jianan ordered the attendant beside him:
"Find Mr. Sun!"
"yes!"
After half a stick of incense, Sun Zhunde came to Zhao Jianan with a gloomy look. When he saw Sun Zhunde, Zhao Jianan said angrily:
"Mr. Sun, this Shen Zhuo is not honest at all. I have reminded him that he is still here to fight with me. I really think he accepted the five Yangzhou thin horses from that bastard Jianwen. He did it without anyone noticing. have no idea?"
The reason why Zhao Jian'an called Shen Zhuo back from Jizhou this time was nominally to understand the defense situation in Jizhou, but in fact he heard about Shen Zhuo's taking in Zhao Jianwen's five Yangzhou thin horses, so he deliberately Call Shen Zhuo back and give him a good warning.
The main force of the Yan army followed Zhao Fuqu to Yunbin. Currently, there are only more than 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Yan army left in Youyan, of which 20,000 are under Zhao Yong's command, 20,000 are under Zhao Jian'an's command, and the remaining Ten thousand people belong to Shen Zhuo. If Shen Zhuo turns to Zhao Jianwen at this time, then there is no guarantee that Zhao Jianwen will not do something desperate when the moment is about to break out... ·
