0032 Self-inflicted humiliation

Although he has not lived in overseas Chinese for a long time, the Wang family is the tallest gate in the north and south, and its mansion in Wuyi Lane is magnificent.

Unlike the mediocre outside the Ji family's indigenous mansion and the cave inside, the Wang family's mansion can be called a predecessor outside the gate. The imperial gift of Hengmen's ceremonial guards, banners and flags almost exceeded the specifications of ministers, and further demonstrated the great family background of the king and horse. In the intercourse, white veil and silk banners were mixed with them. In addition to the majesty, there was also solemn killing.

When Shen Zhezi walked to the palace, he saw a lot of traffic and guests, and it seemed that the mansion was in full swing. In a short time, he saw several ox carts carrying scholars to post to enter the door. There were many people wearing official robes. It seemed that they had just left the Taicheng official house and had not had time to rush home to change their clothes, so he hurried to the Wang family banquet.

This situation is slightly inconsistent with Shen Zhezi's imagination, and it seems that it does not fit the current situation of the Wang family. In the failure to make up for the chaos, several important tribe members died one after another. They should stop and keep silent and keep silent to their own voices. However, at this time, the guests were banqueted in great orders, fearing that they would not be ostentatious, not in line with feelings, and not in line with etiquette.

Standing on the side of the door and observing for a moment, Shen Zhezi found that the visitors were mostly speaking the accent of the North, and gradually became enlightened. The reason why the Wang family was like this was a demonstration, showing that their power had not fallen to the world. At the same time, it was also the major overseas Chinese sects united to keep warm.

Although this move is inevitably a bit frugal, it is the most direct and simple method of self-protection at the moment. Each family uses practical actions to express their attitude, but they still follow the lead of the Wang family and have no plans to change the status quo.

There are two targets for the demonstration when setting up this situation. One is the forces of all parties who want to take advantage of the situation and reshuffle the pattern, the Nanshi, the refugee general, the royal family and the potential royal party. The other is naturally the emperor in Taicheng. It is not yet the moment of a revolution in the changing world. If you don’t want the world to return to turmoil, even a real dragon will have to keep it!

Shen Zhezi is currently under the persecution of the imperial power. Seeing the Wang family openly forming a clique to give the emperor eye medicine, you can imagine how angry the emperor in Taicheng would be, so he was in a bad mood. But from this, it can be seen that these overseas Chinese have determined to maintain the status quo. In order to maintain the privileges they enjoy, they dare to violate the forbidden and fight to the death!

If you think deeper, the emperor in Taicheng seems to have an advantage, but in fact he has become a real lonely man. He may be a qualified emperor, but not the kind that people need. The Holy Emperor ruled with his pride, and being too capable is a sin in itself. If you hate each other, how can you last forever?

The butt determines the head. Even in Shen Zhezi's opinion, the current emperor's death is a result that everyone is happy with now, and no one is willing to accompany him to do anything.

He sighed in his heart that Shen Zhezi asked a guard to hand over his famous post and stood under the door waiting for the introduction. However, the famous post was thrown in for a long time and he was not allowed to respond. During this period, several waves of visitors were all introduced into the mansion, and only Shen Zhezi stood there without anyone to pay attention to it. Several disciples of Wang, who were responsible for receiving guests, turned a blind eye to him after handing in the post. The intention of neglecting was extremely obvious and gradually became eye-catching.

When guests who were in and out saw the young man standing there, they were inevitably curious, so they asked the Wang disciple in the door to ask about the identity of the young man. Once they learned about Shen Zhezi's identity, they had different reactions. Some were disdainful, some were full of contempt, and some even spit at the feet of the young man and scolded him "the deceiving people". None of them showed any kindness.

Shen Zhezi knew that this trip would not have a good ending, so he would be calm if he was treated coldly. He understood that it was not Wang Dao's idea to be turned away, and his identity could not alarm Wang Dao. Most of the time when there was a problem with the delivery of famous posts, and it was possible that he was intercepted and obstructed.

Standing here and being coldly watched, Shen Zhezi thought for a long time, and gradually understood the profound meaning of Ji Zhan asking him to come to visit Wang.

The old man may not be able to guess that he couldn't even get in, but he certainly understood that this trip would not have a good result. The reason why he still let himself come here is probably to test his ability to deal with things and to use this matter to make the Wuxing Shen family and Wang Men Qiao's surname.

The Shen family's background is too complicated. They are both southerners and have been involved in a traitor with the Wang family of the overseas Chinese. They immediately turned to the Yu family of Yingchuan. They seem to have connections with all parties, but in fact they cannot tolerate any party. This is why they are threatened by the royal family.

Even if Ji Zhan wants to come forward to protect the Shen family, he must consider the subsequent impact, especially what signal this move will send to the emperor in Taicheng. Will the emperor suspect that the gentry in the north and south use the Shen family in Wuxing as a bond to unite to put pressure on the imperial power?

Therefore, Shen Zhezi's mission to visit the Wang family was to declare to the outside world that the Shen family no longer met Wang family, so as to draw a clear line with the overseas Chinese surname and completely belonged to the Wu Shi group. In short, it was to give faces to others. The more ruthless the beating, the better the effect.

In this way, Ji Zhan came forward to protect Wu Shi's interests. It is natural to rely on his identity and fame, and he can stabilize the hearts of the people in the south, so that the people in the south can understand that only the people in Sangzi Township are reliable at critical moments. Even if the emperor is resentful, he will not be able to take advantage of the situation.

As soon as he understood this truth, Shen Zhezi calmed down and stood outside the Wang family, enduring the cold contempt of many guests, hoping that more people could see this scene. At the same time, he was sincerely impressed by Ji Zhan. His seemingly ordinary actions were full of profound meaning. Compared with these old foxes, his plans were too revealing, and he used too much force and needed to practice.

As Shen Zhezi expected, although he was highly treated coldly in front of the Wang family, there were actually many people in Jiankang City paying attention to him.

As Shen Chong's legitimate son, this young man is the most important member of the Shen family in Jiankang City in Wuxing. His every move can be regarded as Shen Chong's attitude.

Although the Shen family was not able to see it, it was a force among the natives in Jiangnan that should not be underestimated. Where will it go in the end, to some extent, it can even affect the evolution of the current situation after the turmoil.

The first thing that discovered Shen Zhezi's movements was that the people who were arranged to monitor him by King Sima Zong of Nandun were to monitor him. The group of people did not expect that the boy would react so sensitively and quickly. As soon as he was discovered, he responded and left their surveillance.

A group of people anxiously expanded the search range along the Qinhuai River. Not long after, they found Shen Zhezi's traces in Wuyi Lane. They did not dare to be arrogant at the door of the Wang family, so they could only guard the vicinity and send someone to return to report the letter and ask for instructions.

King Sima Zong of Nandun was appointed as the general of the left guard and was in charge of the guard. According to the rules, he should be stationed in Taicheng. In the past few years, although he and his brother King Sima Sui of Xiyang had the merit of supporting him, he only held a prominent position but had no authority and were always left aside. He waited until the new emperor ascended the throne and had the ambition to get rid of the clampdown of the powerful ministers, the situation of these royal families gradually improved.

In the military campaign to wipe out the Wang family rebellion, Sima Zong was able to take charge of the imperial guards. Once the power was in hand, he felt that his life had been wasted before. The emperor's intention to support the royal family to protect the imperial power was extremely obvious, and Sima Zong naturally had to seize this rare opportunity to consolidate his power.

Sima Zong had a close relationship with his uncle Yu Yin, but Yu Yin was similar to his situation. He was not a high-ranking family. He was lucky enough to be promoted. If he had a secret meeting, he would not provide him with more help. He immediately had a secret conversation with his brother and the refugee general who went south to serve the king. However, the refugee general was not a reliable foreign aid.

It was in this case that Sima Zong locked his target as Shen Chong. If the Shen family in Wuxing could connect with him, he would not only stabilize his position, but even reach out to the land of the Three Wus. He would use both money, grain and force, and he would be excited to think about it!

Although Sima Zong did not dare to act rashly after this idea. Before, Yu Yi forced the surrender of Shen Chong in Wuxing, but the emperor was happy, but he was worried. Sima Zong saw it and said in time that he could show his favor to Shen Chong, and even Shen Chong added the title of General Andong, which was Sima Zong's suggestion.

Although the emperor was quite disgusted with Chen Chong, he still agreed to Sima Zong's proposal. The signal sent out was self-evident. Later, Yu Yi Taicheng reported to anger the emperor and detained him in Taicheng. This was undoubtedly a way to help Sima Zong clear the obstacles to recruit Chen Chong.

The Shen family in Wuxing was already alone. Sima Zong knew that his opportunity had come, so he made a quick decision to arrange for someone to send an invitation. As long as Chen Chong's son stepped into his mansion, even if Chen Chong still had a unique embrace, it would be useless.

After the invitation was sent, Sima Zong was in excitement. Although he was in Taicheng, his heart had already flown far away.

When Sima Zong heard his subordinates report that Chen Chong's son was asking for a meeting in front of the royal palace but could not even enter the door, he felt very uncomfortable, thinking that he was underestimated by a child, and threw his favor aside, and turned to the Wang family, who was unable to protect himself.

But then he sneered: "It is rare for this child to know a little about the current situation, but he is really naive. His family first cut off himself from the Wang family, but now he goes to the Wang family for help. Do you really think that the Wang family is a family of sages who do not care about past grudges? It's just a humiliation."

After mocking Shen Zhezi's innocence, he could not help but make trouble. Sima Zong ordered: "After he leaves the Wang family's mansion, he will immediately invite someone to my mansion. If he dares to resist, he might as well teach him a lesson!"

After sending his subordinates away, Sima Zong signaled the eunuch to pass the matter into the inner garden. Although the emperor did not explain it, Sima Zong knew that if he concealed something, he would definitely not have a good ending.

At the same time, Yu Liang walked into the Shaofu official house with a gloomy face, walked straight into Yu Yi's room, raised his fingers and pointed at the other party hard.

Yu Yishang was worried about his Taicheng report and made a mistake, and was worried that Shen Zhezi would not be able to deal with the variables. Seeing his eldest brother's appearance, he felt even more shocked and asked hurriedly: "Brother, what happened?"

"You still have the face to ask me! The Shen family's little Lang is asking for a meeting in front of the palace. Is this the one who trusts you highly?"

Yu Liang was very resentful, not entirely because of the loss of the Shen family, the foreign aid, but because the other party's move to the Wang family made him feel humiliated.

When Yu Yi heard this news, he was shocked and his mind was in chaos. He took his life to pull the Shen family from the Wang family. He had just lost contact for less than a day, but the other party turned to the Wang family. In this way, his previous feat that he thought he was famous at that time now seemed just a huge joke.

Yu Yi lowered his head and let his elder brother scold him for a long time, but he never spoke. He waited until Yu Liang left, and his thoughts gradually became smooth. Others did not understand Shen Zhezi, but they only treated him as a child who was uneasy in the world. However, Yu Yi knew very well that this son's ability was definitely not a person with such a shallow vision, and this action must have profound meaning!

But Yu Yi racked his brains and couldn't imagine what Shen Zhezi's real intention was.
