Not long after Zhu Jianshen returned to Qianqing Palace, a young eunuch came in to report.
"Your Majesty, Marquis Liaoping wants to see you." The young eunuch said respectfully.
Zhu Jianshen raised his head after hearing this and glanced at Zhang Bao standing next to him.
"It seems that Marquis Liaoping is watching the clock and is a little anxious."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Bao didn't know what His Majesty the Emperor was thinking, so he just nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Zhang Daban, go and welcome him in personally."
After hearing these words, Zhang Bao knew clearly in his heart that the emperor would still treat Shi Biao the same way he did before.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhang Bao said, then turned and walked towards the outside of the palace.
Shi Biao's return was very fast. It only took seven days from receiving the order, completing the handover, and returning to the capital. This showed his attitude.
Zhu Jianshen also knew the difference between Shi Biao and Shi Heng, and he also treated them differently.
Shi Heng was crazy about Yi, so Zhu Jianshen beat him a lot, while Shi Biao was able to handle things clearly and understand things. Zhu Jianshen treated Shi Biao slightly gently. It can be said that every time Shi Biao returned to Beijing, , all showing grace all the time.
Of course, Zhu Jianshen had misjudged Shi Heng's issue. The more Shi Heng was beaten, the more he felt that the emperor regarded him as one of his own, not his own. Could he speak so clearly? And then it also led to the current result...
Shi Biao was the opposite of Shi Heng. The more favor Zhu Jianshen showed to him, the more frightened he became. He was more and more afraid that he would not be able to do well in his affairs, and he was also restless in his heart.
There is another big difference between the two.
One is in Annan and the other is in North Korea. Shi Biao has added to the palace maids with good looks. From the twelfth year of Chenghua to the present, there are four batches of more than 400 people. It can be said that the emperor is put first in everything.
Shi Heng, on the other hand, was just playing around, talking about loyalty every day, but showing it without any substance. In all these years, he had never sent a beauty to the emperor. When he met a good-looking one, he kept it for himself...
Although Zhu Jianshen didn't say it, it didn't mean that he hadn't thought about it.
According to the usual practice, military attachés who seek an audience without an imperial edict can only stop at the front palace. They cannot follow the central civil servants and can wait directly at the gate of Qianqing Palace.
Zhang Bao and the four eunuchs walked quickly, and saw the burly Shi Biao from a distance.
At this time, Shi Biao also saw Zhang Bao, and he felt a little sorry for his sister.
His old uncle must have committed a crime. He returned to the capital this time, but he would be punished for his crime. He thought that the emperor would not see him when he asked for an audience this time. After being indifferent for a period of time, he would summon him again.
But why was the treatment the same as before, Zhang Bao came out to greet him personally.
The more this happened, the more unclear Shi Biao was about His Majesty the Emperor's thoughts.
"Marquis Liaoping, you are well." Zhang Bao from far away took the initiative to say hello.
Shi Biao also hurriedly came up to greet him, bowed and said, "Eunuch Zhang, you are well."
"Hey, why didn't you just go into the city last night? Today, Your Majesty knows that Marquis Liaoping spent the whole night freezing outside. He is very distressed."
"Tell me, the Marquis of Liaoping has fought for the country and made great achievements, but he is still so humble. He is really a model of a military commander. Your Majesty feels sorry for the Marquis of Liaoping. He originally wanted to send someone to your house to inform you after the morning court. , let you rest for a day and go to the palace to see me again tomorrow, but there were some things that were delayed during the court meeting today, and you came just after the court meeting ended."
After listening to Zhang Bao's words, Shi Biao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is worried about you, the general is really Mu Tianen, and he is sincere and frightened."
After listening to Shi Biao's words, Zhang Bao was very satisfied. Does he look like a general now?
Even if someone like Shi Heng is beaten again, he still can't position himself correctly, is not good at words, and acts casually, he is destined to not be able to go for long...
"Marquis Liaoping, let's go, His Majesty is waiting for you."
"yes."
The two of them headed towards Qianqing Palace.
I still passed by the duty room of the cabinet as usual...
Originally, Zhang Bao could have chosen not to take this path, but Zhang Bao did it on purpose. It can also be said that His Majesty the Emperor wanted the officials in the cabinet to see it.
Even though Shi Heng fell, I still have someone available, so you don’t have to think too much.
Li Xian, who was sitting inside, saw Zhang Bao and Shi Biao through the window, and couldn't help but smile and said: "The emperor's way is to use grace and power at the same time, and the emperor will never learn it in his lifetime."
At this time, Peng Shi walked in with a pile of documents. When he came to deliver the things, he also looked at Shi Biao. This made Peng Shi wonder in his heart, but he had not heard any news at all. .
"Chief Assistant, why is this Shi Biao back from North Korea?"
As soon as he came in, he asked.
"You should ask His Majesty about this. How could I know?" Li Xian said with a chuckle.
In the cabinet, Shang Ren, who has just been appointed by His Majesty, is very close to Li Xian, while Peng Shi is only a fifth-rank cabinet minister with no other concurrent posts and no title of bachelor. In addition, he and Li Xian The relationship between Han Yong and Li Xian was very good. Li Xian didn't like Han Yong, so he didn't have much favorable impression of Peng Shi either.
Peng Shi felt a little embarrassed after hearing Li Xian's words, and then placed many documents on Li Xian's desk.
"Sir, these all need to be signed."
Li Xian nodded, but made no movement with his hands.
"After I sign it, I will have someone send it to you."
"Then I will resign first."
Li Xian nodded, indicating that he understood.
Peng Shi, who walked out of Li Xian's room, couldn't help but sigh. When will he be able to get through this? He doesn't know when Han Shangshu will come back. By then, after he joins the cabinet, he won't have no friends at all.
I want to pass the orthodox provincial examination for six years.
After ten years of orthodoxy, he passed the exam and entered the Imperial Academy to study at public expense.
When he was a student, he was quite famous. Li Shimian, the principal of Guozi at that time, had high hopes for him.
In the thirteenth year of Zhengtong, Peng Shi participated in the imperial examination and ranked third. During the imperial examination, he was selected as the number one scholar by the Supreme Emperor. What an honor it was at that time.
But then his development rules deviated a little from the track.
After Peng Shi became the number one scholar, he was appointed editor of the Hanlin Academy. He worked for a year, but his father died. He went home to observe mourning for three years. When the period of mourning expired, he returned to the capital and started editing again. It was his turn to take up his new post. At that time, his mother died of illness again, so he had no choice but to give up the opportunity and return to his hometown to observe filial piety for another three years.
After I came back, the opportunity was gone, so I started working as a Hanlin editor. After working for two years, I became an attendant and lectured on the classics to His Majesty the Emperor. After giving lectures for five full years, I successfully moved from the Hanlin Academy and entered the Imperial Academy. cabinet.
He has stayed in the Hanlin Academy for ten years and is still only a fifth-rank official.
In real history, Peng Shi entered the cabinet within one year of being in the Hanlin Academy, but the person who allowed him to enter the cabinet was Zhu Qiyu.
Zhu Jianshen has been a mascot since he came to the throne. All government affairs are presided over by Yu Qian and Li Xianzhu. In addition, Peng Shi often asks for leave, so it is normal for him to have less opportunities...
Of course, the only reason why Peng Shi was not favored by Li Xian was partly because of Han Yong, and partly because of Peng Shi's own character.
Years of silence have caused some changes in Peng Shi's character.
He wants to improve so much.
He cherishes opportunities and is unwilling to take risks, let alone make mistakes.
When Xu and Li Dou were at their peak, Peng Shi chose to be a wallflower and a centrist. There was nothing wrong with other officials to protect themselves in this way, but he was in the cabinet, and he was not an ordinary cabinet minister. There are still four words hanging in front of the cabinet ministers to participate in political affairs, and they still have some authority. At this time, they have to make a choice. Being a mere wallflower will only lead to boredom on both sides...
Of course, Peng Shi was also aware of his embarrassing situation and just wanted Han Yong to return to Beijing early. With Han Yong, he could get his career on the right track as soon as possible...
Ability determines whether you can go far, but human connections can determine whether you can go fast...
Zhu Jianshen in the Qianqing Palace is sorting out memorials about Shi Heng.
There are six secret letters, three memorials, and two memorials written by Shi Heng himself.
Zhu Jianshen placed all these things neatly in front of his imperial case.
Zhu Jianshen's original intention was to let Shi Heng go to the island to guard the island. This time Shi Biao came and told him all what Shi Heng had done in Annan these days, to show his helplessness as an emperor and that Shi Heng deserved what he deserved. .
To put it bluntly, if there were no Shi Biao, Zhu Jianshen would not have to spend so much thought on Shi Heng.
At this time, Zhang Bao also took Shi Biao into the Qianqing Palace...
