Chapter 16
Giving a Cow
If what King Shen said is true, then the reason for his change in temperament is that he accepted the teachings of Master Baiwei. This reason is not as easy to accept as King Shen's evil.
"Your Majesty, don't mistake me for my junior sister. I'm not familiar with you, so I don't know who the master you are talking about is."
Shen Mingxi praised Commander Jiang for being cautious, and took out a wooden token from his arms, "It looks familiar. Master gave it to me. Master is a good character and has great martial arts skills. The only bad thing is that he spends money too much. He took ten coins from my hand not long ago." Many banknotes, senior brother, I am a little poor now and cannot give you a banknote as a greeting gift."
Prince Shen, who had become poor due to his filial piety to his master, carelessly said that his wallet was empty, unlike Shen Yan who wanted to save face. Such a free and easy character seemed to be enjoying all the flavors of life.
Do you remember the dozen silver notes that Master took out when he boasted about his wealth and took them from King Shen?
Picking up the token and looking at it carefully, she recognized that it was Master's unique token. Having a senior brother with a great background made Jiang Chenqi feel extremely complicated.
With a common master, Shen Mingxi believed that he and Jiang Chenqi were one of the same people, so he told her the purpose of inviting Jiang Chenqi to tea, "Yao Shangshu and his family are in your hands. I heard that you have been tormenting them a lot recently."
Yao Shangshu and other old officials strongly supported King Shen as the crown prince and tried their best to help King Shen. Later, King Shen removed the crown prince position, disappointing all the officials who supported him. I heard that Yao Shangshu cried sadly.
Understanding why the prince invited her to drink tea, Jiang Chenqi explained the reason why he ordered the Yao family to do the work, "The prince is one of his own and I will not hide it from you. The emperor is not satisfied with Yao Shangshu and is concerned about his position as Minister of the Ministry of Finance. Yao Shangshu does not want to bow his head and can only endure hardships." Only then can we escape.”
Let the Yao family plow the land and grow vegetables, do laundry, cook, pick manure and raise pigs, which are all practical skills. In the future, the family will return to their hometown and have no power to tie the chicken. How will they live? When they left the Yao family, they did not bring gold and silver with them. Yao Shangshu was an incorruptible person. I am an official and my family does not have much savings.
He gave a thumbs up to praise Junior Sister for her meticulous work. Thinking of those words that insulted Commander Jiang, Shen Mingxi felt even more sorry for Jiang Chenqi, "Junior Sister, you are serious. Only by doing this can you protect the Yao family. It's a pity that the world is ignorant and doesn't understand your good intentions. What they said Don’t listen to the sarcastic remarks.”
Shen Mingxi was not looking for Jiang Chenqi to plead for mercy. Shen Mingxi changed the topic and said with a bad smile: "I will give you a few cows and let Yao Shangshu be a cowherd. Herding cows is easier than raising pigs. Back then, he and several veterans gave me a lot of money. Burden, give me books I can’t finish reading.”
Looking back on the repressed life when he was a prince, Shen Mingxi still feels like he can't breathe.
Jiang Chenqi looked at Prince Shen with a strange expression. Listening to Prince Shen's subtle tone, she seemed to dislike being a prince, "I don't understand why the prince took the initiative to send cows. In order to make it easier for Yao Shangshu, let him be the cowherd." To make you happy."
Of course it was the second reason. Shen Mingxi mentioned Yao Shangshu and other senior ministers with a dissatisfied expression, "None of the senior ministers are easy to get along with. They all like to meddle in their own business and criticize me all the time. They always say that the prince listens to the senior minister and asks me to If you don’t eat well, you won’t sleep well.”
The brothers were envious of his good luck in becoming the crown prince, but King Shen was filled with bitterness and vomited his bitterness to his junior sister.
He suddenly wanted to go to the palace and invite the emperor to come over and let the emperor know that his position as prince was something he had always wanted to do. In the eyes of King Shen, it was a heavy burden.
It is not difficult to raise pigs. Yao Shangshu learned how to raise pigs. Jiang Chenqi thought that King Shen’s proposal was good. Why don’t you want free cattle?
Following the prince back to the palace, Jiang Chenqi stood silent in the backyard, mistakenly thinking that she had walked into a farmyard somewhere.
Linyuan dodged to avoid the flying big rooster, waved his sleeves to shake off the chicken feathers, and sighed: "No wonder when the prince was deposed, countless officials cried bitterly, the prince has changed too much. I remember King Shen
He was not like this before. He knew how to do things in a gentlemanly manner, and he was a prince praised by the civil and military officials of the court."
Linyuan and Yuexuan stood outside the private room guarding the door. They did not hear the conversation between King Shen and Jiang Chenqi, and did not know the reason for King Shen's great change.
As a disciple of Baiwei Gate, Jiang Chenqi felt inexplicably guilty. It was a shameless master who changed the prince who was praised by everyone, and turned the prince from a gentleman into a dawdling prince. What a sin.
Leading the buffalo, Shen Mingxi said with a smile: "After meeting the master, I figured out that I don't want to be an outstanding prince in the eyes of others and live for myself in this life. I told Yao Shangshu that I yearn for an ordinary life and am willing to be a happy and unrestrained person."
Cowherd, Yao Shangshu scolded me, I am really a stubborn old man."
She took the cow rope and thanked the prince. A cow was not cheap, but she got a cow and two calves for nothing. Jiang Chenqi ignored Prince Shen who was gloating about his misfortune and felt that she was taking advantage of the opportunity to go out today.
Holding the docile cow, Jiang Chenqi walked forward slowly, planning to walk to the farm.
When I went out, I met Commander Jiang's pedestrians. I hurriedly got out of the way and didn't dare to look at Commander Jiang. Commander Jiang is a traitorous official who does not distinguish between good and evil. They are ordinary people, how can they go against the Imperial Guards.
The scholar was so angry when he saw Commander Jiang that he had a headache. If he hadn't known that Jiang Chenqi was a powerful martial artist, he would have wanted to raise the book in his hand and fight with Jiang Chenqi.
Yue Xuan was still not used to hearing criticism from the people about his leadership, so he put his right hand on the scabbard, wishing to get rid of those who knew nothing and could only talk nonsense.
Knowing that Yue Xuan's character was not as calm as Lin Yuan's, Jiang Chenqi said softly: "Ignore the words of the foolish people. They even dare to criticize King Shen. How can you stop their mouths with a rag?"
Linyuan drove the carriage and followed the commander, letting the horse walk slowly. His ears were keen to hear the gossip about the commander. Thinking of the recent changes in the commander, he felt that change was a good thing. It was better than spending everything to be eliminated by the emperor because of his ignorance and ignorance.
How can people know how well they lead.
After leaving Chengjiang, Shen Qi was too lazy to walk and sat on the back of a cow. Thinking of her master's words one day, she might try to trust her subordinates and learn to have the emotions of ordinary people.
"Are you curious about the reason for King Shen's change? It doesn't hurt to tell you."
Praising Master Baiwei for his great ability caused the outstanding prince's temperament to change drastically. The prince actually worshiped a charlatan as his teacher. If it hadn't been for personal experience, Jiang Chenqi would never have believed that such an outrageous thing existed in the world.
Not finding an extra person in the commander's residence, Yue Xuan and Linyuan were afraid of the commander.
For Commander Jiang to be willing to become a disciple and for King Shen to give up his position as crown prince, Baiwei must be a strange person among the people.
After talking about Master Baiwei, Jiang Chenqi felt much happier. It was not difficult to trust her subordinates.
Three cows entered the farm, wagging their tails and looking at the unfamiliar environment. They didn't know that the sloppy old man in front of them was the former Minister of Household Affairs.
Yao Shangshu was happy to see the cow and praised Jiang Chenqi for her thoughtfulness, "There are many domestic animals on the farm, but the only one missing is the buffalo."
Jiang Chenqi smiled calmly and introduced the origin of the buffalo, "Prince Shen was kind enough to give you the cow. He was probably worried that you would be too hard at farm work, so I gave him the cow to relieve your boredom."
The words "King Shen" made Yao Shangshu's face change drastically, and his face was so black that ink dripped from it.
