Chapter 63 Danzhou General Judgment
一
Soon, the emperor of the capital city ordered that Shen Feng be reinstated and Zhang Jue be reinstated as Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, and sent as an envoy to Xiliang.

Zhang Yan personally took the imperial edict to Qianming Village and read it to Shen Feng.

"The emperor is destined to be supported by heaven, the imperial edict says. The former Zhongshu Sheng, Shen Jie, who lived in the sixth rank, risked his life to give advice, and his integrity is commendable. In memory of his loyalty, I especially forgive him for criticizing Chao Gang, and I reinstate him as Zhongshu Shengzheng Liu. The person in Pinzhong Shushe returned to the imperial study room, returned to his official residence, returned to his role as the son of the Taiming Shen family, and served as the general magistrate of Danzhou. He was immediately ordered to go to Danzhou to rest and recuperate the people's livelihood. I admire him here."

Shen Feng knelt on the ground, silent.

Zhang Yan put away the imperial edict, looked at Shen Feng as silent as a sculpture, and smiled: "Master Shen is so happy? Have you even forgotten to thank him?"

Zhong Lan on the side tugged on Shen Feng's sleeve.

Shen Feng came back to his senses, bowed to the ground and thanked me deeply: "My lord, I have received the order to thank you."

Zhang Yan helped Shen Feng up, and saw that Shen Feng's expression was not happy, but hesitant: "Others were so happy that they jumped up after being revived. How come Lord Shen looks so calm and unwilling to return to the court as an official? ?”

Shen Yan was silent for a long time, breathed out lightly, saluted and said: "Master Zhang, you have been an official for the past few months, and living at home these past few months, let Shen understand a truth, with Shen's temperament, it is not suitable to be a Officer, I hope that your lord will report it today, and forgive Shen for not resigning."

"Then what are Mr. Shen's plans for the future?" Zhang Yan's smile weakened a bit.

Shen Yan looked back at Zhong Yan, and then his eyes fell on her slightly protruding belly. Turning around, he said solemnly: "Shen is willing to teach and educate people, weave silk and farm, and educate his own children together with my wife. The children and grandchildren will grow up and die like this."

"Ha." Zhang Yan laughed out loud. Although there was still a smile on his face, his eyes became more stern. He smiled lightly and looked at Zhong Lan behind Shen Feng, "Does Madam Zhong think so too? ?”

Zhong Lan thought for a moment, as the previous order was changed in the evening, and Zhang Yan was ordered to deliver the order in person, the matter would not be so simple.

However, although she felt that it was inappropriate to confine Shen Feng to this for her own idleness, she was unwilling to refute Shen Feng's reputation and remained humble: "But my husband makes the decision."

"Ha." Zhang Yan sneered again, "After receiving the order, I rode all the way to tell Mr. Shen. Who knew that Mr. Shen turned out to be a weakling who collapsed after a slight setback. It was the Zhang family who misjudged Mr. Shen. I wish to live here in seclusion for the rest of my life, so I will go ahead and take my leave."

Shen Feng was stunned and quickly retorted: "My lord, isn't it true that Mr. Zhang Jue refuses to resign from his official position and only wants to teach and educate people for the county school? Shen has thought a lot about his future prospects these days, and is finally willing to use Zhang Jue as a teacher." Mr. Jue is a role model, and his ambition is his lifelong pursuit. He is willing to educate a village of children with all his heart, why can't he recover?"

"Is Mr. Zhang also the kind of layman who believes that 'everything is low but only studies are high' and only regards becoming an official as his highest ambition?" Zhang Yan understood his own thoughts and wanted to compromise within himself.

Zhang Yan stopped, snorted coldly and rolled up his sleeves: "There is no news about Qianming Village, and your family lives in poverty and happiness. Little did you know that the example you mentioned was just a few days ago, he was reinstated as a member of the Ministry of Rites and was sent to Xiliang as envoy. went."

Seeing that Shen Feng was a little surprised, Zhang Yan shook his head and sighed: "Resigning from office is not what makes a person noble and upright. What makes him truly valuable is that 'if he lives high in a temple, he worries about his people; if he lives far away from the rivers and lakes, he worries about his king'." The righteousness of not refusing to do something when our country needs it.”

"Sir, why was sir suddenly reinstated as an official and sent to Xiliang?" Shen Feng couldn't help but asked, "Even if we want to send envoys to stop the war today, we will not forcefully reinstate sir."

Shen Feng never expected that the news from Qianming Village would be so blocked, and even the news from the royal capital, which was only dozens of miles away, could not be received.

"He is buying time for your Danzhou administration." Zhang Yan said angrily, "Xiliang and Beizhao had a feud. Now Xiliang and Beizhao are in a state of conflict. Whenever His Majesty asks about envoys, the DPRK Hundreds of officials were silent, but my brother Zhang Jue, who recommended himself not as an official, accepted the order and was sent to the land of tigers and wolves."

"The purpose is to buy time for you, Mr. Shen Shen, for the civil affairs of Danzhou!"

Shen Feng's heart was struck by Zhang Yan's sonorous words one after another, and he looked at Zhang Yan blankly.

Zhang Yan was dressed in a crimson official robe and a six-jade black gauze cap. He looked at Shen Yan angrily, as if he hated that iron could not be made into steel.

Zhang Jue and Zhang Yan are brothers from the same mother, and they are very similar in appearance.Through Zhang Yan, Shen Feng seemed to see the frail gentleman knelt down to thank the Holy Grace, put on his official robe, official hat, held a talisman, and embarked on a mission to a foreign country.

If Mr. Zhang Jue heard what he said, would he be as disappointed in him as Mr. Zhang?
Seeing that Shen Feng didn't speak anymore, Zhang Yan patted him on the shoulder sincerely: "No one wants to be free, but you are a scholar. You have been taught by sages since you were a child. You and An Yu are busy working as farmers, herdsmen and traders. People are not the same kind of people, you have to understand your ambitions and original intentions."

"Do you think you can hide here and live in poverty and live a happy life if you want to live in poverty and live a happy life? You are the living room keeper who used to walk in the Royal Study Room. You know many things in today's world. Since you were dismissed from office, countless people's eyes have been on you. You The peace you thought you had these past few months was just a matter of me, Your Majesty, and the Feng family secretly helping you take care of it."

"You can't hide. What if His Majesty is really angry and feels that the mouth of the dead is the tightest? Are you willing to die, or do you want your whole family to be buried with you?"

Zhang Yan sighed and glanced at Zhong Lan behind Shen Feng: "You are also going to be a father. Do you want your child to live in such a Beizhao world?"

"The future belongs to the children. You have to plan for the future. Since you have the ability and ideas, do it and pursue your ambitions and original intentions. If you don't get relief at this time, you have to do your best. Seek justice for yourself and the people you want to protect and those you can protect."

Shen Feng turned around and glanced at Zhong Lan, his eyes gradually blurred with tears: "It was Shen who offended Mr. Zhang just now."

Shen Feng finally accepted the decree, said goodbye to the chief security officer of Qianming Village, and promised that he would invest in hiring talents to continue educating children in Qianming Village.

Then Shen Feng and Zhong Lan packed their bags and moved back to Shen's house. After bathing in incense and changing clothes, they entered the palace to meet the emperor.

Qi Weijun looked at Shen Feng for a long time, sighed, and asked him to organize the people's livelihood in Danzhou according to his own ideas. He only gave him three years, and then he would order the construction of the South Great Wall.Shen Feng took the order to thank you.

It was noon when Shen Feng returned to Shen's house, and Zhong Lan was leaning on a wicker chair and taking a nap in the sun.

Taking the goose down blanket from Chang Huan, Shen Feng gently covered her with it.

Zhong Lan has been very sleepy since becoming pregnant, but her sleep was very light. When she opened her eyes and saw Shen Feng, she smiled slightly: "When will you go back to Danzhou?"

"Three days later." Shen Yan said calmly, and sat on the soft chair beside him.

"After three days, I can't stay any longer." Shen Feng took Zhong Lan's hand, and their palms were warm.

"I will take good care of myself and our children." Zhong Lan smiled, knowing that Shen Feng was worried about him.

"I am allowed to return to the royal capital to report on my duties once I have perfected something. I will be back within four months." Shen Feng quickly promised,
"Being busy will lead to chaos. It's better to calm down and do a good job. You are also cautious and do your job well." Zhong Lan gently shook his hand.

Shen Feng pursed her lips: "I begged Mrs. Pan to take care of you. If you still encounter difficult things in the capital, just write to me. I count the time and it only takes seven days for the horse to come back." .”

"You are the general magistrate of Danzhou, and you will be punished if you return to the king without an edict. Why are you confused?" Zhong Lan smiled at Shen Feng's foolishness, "Don't worry, I will be fine and wait for you to come back. You also want to Good."

Even though Shen Yan was worried in every possible way, he had no choice but to keep Zhong Yan in the capital.

Three days later, Shen Feng took Jiangliu Jiangchuan to Danzhou.

The emperor exempted Shen Feng from all punishments, and the news reached Danzhou. Yang and Wen Shu were overjoyed and hurried to the capital to visit Zhong Lan.

"Liao'er, it's getting cold now. You're twins, so you have to be careful and don't be greedy for cold drinks." Mrs. Yang carefully inspected everything in Shen's house.

"As well as the people you recruited before, I heard from Chang Huan that they were not responsible. Now that you are pregnant with a child, you are even more careless. I brought some capable and sensible people from home and stayed to help you. Take care of the house.”

Zhong Lan has seen how the Yang family manages the family. He doesn't need to trust anyone he trusts, so he doesn't trust anyone. This is a great help to Zhong Lan.

"I got it, Mom." Zhong Lan took Wen Shu and sat aside, smiling at Yang's busy work, "Mom, take a rest, I'll help you."

"Auntie makes me so lazy, so let me do it. I brought a lot this time..." Wen Shu stood up with a smile.

"The two of you haven't given birth, so let's rest." Yang's face turned into a smile, "This is the eldest son of our Shen family, so naturally I have to take good care of it, and I am naturally not tired. Er, you are our son." A great contributor to the family."

After saying that, Yang ordered her maid to bring over a banknote and give it to Zhong Lan: "Your father and I gave this to you. You have endured hardships in the past few days, so make up for it now."

Zhong Lan looked at the thick banknote and quickly declined: "Mom, how can I ask for it?"

"You silly boy, take it." Yang stuffed the banknote into Zhong Lan's hand and happily walked out of the room to personally check whether the corners of the stone table in the courtyard were wrapped.

"The Shen family is small, so Auntie is too happy." Wen Shu looked at Yang's happy back with a smile.

"You too, were so careless. When I heard that you were pregnant after you fainted, I was so anxious. I'm really scared just thinking about it." Wen Shu couldn't help but wonder, holding Zhong Lan in hand.

"It's a pity that the several boxes of donkey-hide gelatin and red dates that I have prepared for you have just been shipped now. The quality is definitely not as good as before. Just wait. In a few days, Dongchang will deliver the goods, and I will send them to you again. Come here."

"It's just that you can't just eat. You have to get up and move around frequently. You can also suffer less when you wait until the day of delivery." Wen Shu added.

"I know, how come Boss Wen knows so much? Is he thinking about General Zhang, so he made up for these lessons in case he needs them?" Zhong Lan joked softly.

"You heartless person, don't be ashamed! I asked my mother-in-law just because of you!" Wen Shu said angrily.

"Okay, okay, thank you very much, Boss Wen." Zhong Lan quickly poured tea for Wen Shu himself to apologize.

Wen Shu accepted the tea: "There's just one thing. I heard that you had to take in a girl. After Shen Feng was dismissed from office, you stole Yuci's furnishings and ran away? Are you planning to bring her back and report her to the official? ?I can help you find it.”

Zhong Lan looked stern, and then smiled: "There is someone behind her, and she was in a hurry when she took the concubine. Presumably the Lin'an Marquis Mansion did not submit documents to the government. If she disappears from now on, it would be fine if she doesn't cause trouble for me. If If she dares to come again, I will be rude to her."

"This is the Zhong Lan I know." Wen Shu looked at Zhong Lan's bright appearance, breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
