Shen Zhezi was not very disgusted with Yu Liang's harsh reprimand.

Although this guy is good at controlling the internal and external control, and is clear about subduing etiquette and law, he is actually a power and treacherous, and he is already far from being famous and knowledgeable, and he is really not qualified or stance to scold him again. However, in this situation, people are inevitably forced by the general trend. When Yu Liang goes this far, he has his own personality factors. However, if he denies the relationship between him and the emperor, he will be biased.

Shen Zhezi could feel the sadness that was inadvertently revealed in Yu Liang's expression. This could probably be regarded as a kind of emotional entanglement in the times. It had nothing to do with authority and position, but was just a conflict that contradicted reality and ideals. Even if he had reached this point, it would be impossible if he had not made any choice against his will.

People naturally have their own social attributes and responsibilities that cannot be retreated. They blindly force their wishes and ignore the social responsibilities they should bear. This is a fundamental meaning of betraying themselves as a person. Yu Liang was born as an overseas Chinese gentry. When he stood in this position, he naturally had the obligation to represent overseas Chinese gentry to control imperial power, which did not change due to his personal emotional preferences.

Shen Zhezi is essentially a person like Yu Liang. Although understanding does not mean recognition, if he is asked to make a choice, it should be similar to Yu Liang.

For example, it is immoral to achieve a political leap in his own political life by using the emperor's long-cherished wish at the end of his life, but it is also a choice he must make. Otherwise, he can only exist as a vassal of the overseas Chinese sect and exist in this situation. Without his own opinions, he will make more choices against his will, and in the end he will achieve nothing.

Although he met the princess, it would be an exaggeration to say how deep each other had. Shen Zhezi could make a guarantee for the emperor's death and Yu Liang's strict condemnation that he was willing to bear the princess' life, fulfill the responsibilities and obligations that a husband should fulfill, and give him more tolerance and understanding.

After pondering for a long time, Shen Zhezi said to Yu Liang: "Your Majesty does not see the differences between the north and the south, does not look down on each other with a clear and noble look, trusts and trusts, and be kind to you, and you dare not let them down."

When Yu Liang heard Shen Zhezi say this, he felt complicated in his heart, and he was also a little disappointed while feeling relieved. The reason why he didn't want Shen's family to be lucky in the Emperor's Sect was not necessarily because he looked down on the Shen family, but more importantly, he valued his family.

Although he was in charge of the Secretariat, he rarely responded outside. Shen Chong lived in Kuaiji and gave him support at critical moments, which would make the Secretariat's government orders more smoothly. But now the Shen family also has the identity of an imperial relative, and the response between them can no longer cooperate and be alienated like before.

At the beginning of the Shen family's list of alternative son-in-law, Yu Liang made efforts to send his second brother Yu Yi to Jiangzhou. His main intention was to no longer fully trust the Shen family and began to cultivate his own Fangzhen power.

After talking to Yu Liang for a few more ritual arrangements later, Shen Zhezi withdrew from Taicheng. Although he did not see the emperor during this trip, Shen Zhezi finally had a specific understanding of the emperor's intentions. He felt relieved and felt a little ashamed, and then his attitude towards the marriage was changed a little soon.

Originally, Shen Zhezi didn't care much about the many cumbersome and useless etiquettes of the wedding, but now he pays some attention. At least, giving the princess a grand wedding before the emperor's lifetime can not only show his attention to the princess, but also make the emperor more gratified, which is a little reward for his appreciation.

After returning home, Shen Zhezi explained Yuan Zhong's intention to go on a wedding with occasional worship. As soon as he finished speaking, he was fiercely opposed by his elders.

Chen Xian, the elder of the Western Zong, has been in good spirits recently and is very interested in planning for Shen Zhezi's wedding. When he heard that he wanted to save six rituals to worship, he was unhappy: "This matter is not just a major event for my family, but also a major event for the scholars in the south. The attention of the north and the south is so great that people can be slighted and despised my family! What's more, the princess and nobles are coming down to the ministers. He was originally condescending, so how could he be polite to Ququ again!"

The other old guys also objected. They had been arguing about various etiquettes for a while and were enjoying it. They almost vented all their energy in this matter. How could they agree to the ceremony of worship?

Shen Zhezi also knew his family's attitude and has been watching many disputes about etiquette and law over the past period of time. In fact, he also recognized the emperor's meaning in his heart. When he worshiped, he might not be able to do so solemnly. It would be possible to avoid many disputes about etiquette and law. For example, the most fierce debate in his family recently has been arguing over the types, numbers and specifications of etiquette and geese, and even the color and size of the feathers of the goose have been difficult to decide.

This is just the first ritual. There are so many left. If he really argues like this, he should not want to get married this year. If the emperor cannot support him and dies suddenly, then many etiquette preparations will be stopped. Waiting for a few more years will involve too much energy and there will be many variables.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Zhezi might as well give a brief explanation and said to the clan elders: "Even if you don't take worship, you really don't have to force all the six rituals. Nowadays, north and south are wandering, and etiquette is a waste, so it is difficult to have a certain rule. The Zhongshu said to me that etiquette may be simple, and the princess' title and fief are still under discussion. If my family can make efforts, it should be a major quotation for the princess!"

Originally, he planned to watch the matter, but after feeling the emperor's urgency, he also felt a sense of urgency that time was endless. Shen Zhezi could not believe in the Zhang family's political wisdom and ability to do things. Although Yu Liang could make a statement in the Secretariat, he was not easy to make efforts in resolving local disputes.

Hearing Shen Zhezi say this, the elders in the clan also realized which one is more important. The Shen family is not a ritual and law-abiding official, so they naturally value the actual benefits of fiefdom. They were arguing over the rituals because they were too surprised. Now that they have received a reminder from Shen Zhezi, they immediately woke up.

The agreement between Danyang counties is no longer a secret. Compared with the political advantages of the overseas Chinese, this kind of rural seal is undoubtedly more of a voice. So the elders temporarily gave up the dispute over etiquette and law, and instead contacted old friends from all sides and encouraged to ask for advice. There was inevitably a complicated exchange of interests.

For a time, the Three Wu families submitted a memorial to ask for a title for the princess to be granted. Although the real Qing Wang Gaoshang family could still remain proud of themselves due to political considerations, the old doors that had contact with the Shen family flocked to each other. Especially Wuxing and Kuaiji, they were simply in a state of fanaticism. Not only did the officials write letters, but even the savage families spoke, and even went to the capital to ask for a title.

Throughout May, there were endless carriages, horses, boats and boats from Wuzhong to Jingji. Many celebrities from Wuzhong and the three elders from the village came to Duzhong to ask for a title. Anyway, the fiefs requested by the princess were from Danyang counties, so they felt that others were generous and favorable. Moreover, the expenses for going to Jingji were reimbursed by Shen, which was only considered a public tour.

The He family of Jiang Biaoruzong, the Yu family, which was passed down from generation to generation, and the Kong family, a descendant of the saint, were transported to Jiankang City by boat by the Shen family. In addition to making remarks at various gatherings in the capital every day, they also threw books to Taicheng, and even groups of people knocked on the palace for the ban.

Witnessing such a big scene, these overseas Chinese families realized what kind of foundation the new Shen family had in Wuzhong. Even if they were politically, Qingwang and family members could despise the Shen family, but in terms of the fundamental influence of the family business, it was hard to get a chance!

Such a big battle, no matter how criticized the families of Danyang counties were, they would still be blocking the chariot and could not be stopped. At the end of May, Taichung issued an edict, and the eldest daughter of Sui'an County, Sima Xingnan, was appointed as the princess of Danyang, with a fief of Jurong and Qua. As for the scholars of Wu who asked for the title of the princess, they also chose the older and more virtuous people to be treated with courtesy.

This incident can be said to have completely revealed the posture of the head of the Shen family Wu Zhonghao. The reason why it can be created is that in addition to the old connections accumulated by the Shen family for generations, it has also increased significantly in recent years.

Wuxing doesn't have to say anything. It is the basic structure of the Shen family. The water network is connected and the transportation is convenient, and it also increases the cohesion of the Wuxing scholar circle. Enjoying the benefits of convenient water transportation, the Wuxing family is even more inseparable from the Shen family. Once abandoned, other families will naturally jump up quickly and replace it.

As for Kuaiji, it was mostly due to the relocation of Shen Chong and Yu Tan and their mutual assistance. In addition, the emerging industry of salt fields, the large area of ​​salt flats that were not sufficient to be reclaimed exploded, but it was a blank in the power of Kuaiji companies. Kuaiji County Government took the lead and each company had some needs, so it had the premise of political support.

In addition to these reasons, there is a background of north-south hedging, so the scholars of the two counties rushed to the princess and had a sufficient motivation to ask for a seal.

As for this result, it was much better than Shen Zhezi imagined. He thought it would be great to get the title of a county, but now both counties are buying it. Although the household registrations of these two counties are far more than 8,000 households, there are many old tribes in the capital of Danyang, which is difficult to liquidate the village in one fell swoop. As a princess, such a fief is far beyond the specification.

Even Emperor Wu of Jin, Sima Yan, who had great imperial power at the beginning of the Central Dynasty, had no fief of this size when his beloved daughter Princess Xiangcheng married Wang Dun!

The princess's fief is not just a matter of face. Although the princess' fief is managed by the royal family, she is in charge of the management of the princess, but with Shen Zhezi's character of trying to get a few drops of water, how could she not ask about it? These two counties are close to the capital, and have both local resources and real capital. It can be built into another basic base, political and military significance is even greater than the harvest of money and grain.

But Shen Zhezi also knew very well that although this move has benefited a lot from his family, it was considered a bad start. Now that the emperor has not been granted many children, if he supports this example, it can be seen that the power of the next generation of royal family will definitely increase greatly. But this is just a hidden worry for others. For Shen Zhezi, who is familiar with the direction of history, this issue is really not worth worrying.
