When Shen Lun and Gongzi Gao went to see Li Shui, they were depressed and frightened, and looked like they were in trouble.

But after seeing Li Shui, they felt confident. When they came out, they were in high spirits and kept selecting personnel and trying to form a strong guard. They didn't want to kill the enemy, but just wanted to be able to defend the enemy.

There is no airtight wall in the world. The story of Young Master Gao going to see Li Shui and recognizing Li Shui as his uncle quickly spread throughout Xianyang City.

Most court officials disliked Gongzi Gao's actions. After all, Huai Guzi's reputation was there. You actually recognize such a shameless person as your uncle. Isn't this more shameless than shameless?

Although Young Master Gao had no sense of existence, he was the Prince of the Qin Dynasty after all, so no one dared to do anything to him. But Shen Lun was in trouble. Within a few days, he was abused by tragic public opinion.

It is said that after Li Si heard about Shen Lun, he threatened that this person was willing to fall into depravity and was not worthy of being a descendant of the Legal family.

After Wang Wan heard about Shen Lun, he said to someone: In order to seek an official position, this person flatters villains, and is really a treacherous minister in the court.

Chunyu Yue directly scolded: How unhuman!

Originally, Shen Lun was a small person, so the three important officials would not scold him in unison. But now it is spread everywhere, saying that these three important officials have made friends with Huai Guzi. They happened to use Shen Lun's affairs to curse and express their attitudes, so that they can tell the world that they are not the same as Huai Guzi.

In addition to these three important officials, the ministers in the court and Shen Lun's usual friends all set clear boundaries with Shen Lun to avoid being too embarrassed.

Some people even said that in order to please Huai Guzi, Shen Lun actually encouraged his son Gao to recognize Huai Guzi as his uncle. This is even more shameless than Zhou Qingchen.

This was a big blow to Shen Lun.

For many days, Shen Lun stayed at home and stayed silently. As a result, his wife suddenly came back from outside crying.

Shin Lun sighed and asked irritably, "Why are you crying?"

Mrs. Shen said: "I just went to the Exiled Immortal Tower to listen to the Stone Record. Those women who are close friends with me ignore me. They said they are afraid that they will get involved in shamelessness and will go back to take care of their children and nephews at home."

Shen Lun almost fainted in anger.

Mrs. Shen sighed faintly and said, "Wang Laoshi is a good person. You said you were a friend of Shangjun Villa, so you gave me a jar of fine wine."

Shin Lun shouted: "Come and get wine."

A moment later, a jar of fairy wine was placed on Shen Lun's desk. He drank a few glasses and was drunk.

…………

In the past few days, Shen Lun has been drinking at home. After getting drunk, he slept soundly and lived a dark life. Anyway, Xianyang City can't stay for long. When Young Master Gao cleans up and stops working, he will go to Chudi when the guard training is over.

On this day, it was the court discussion again. Shen Lun wanted to pretend to be sick and not go to court. But then he thought: Who can't see this excuse? If someone sees it through, it will be even more embarrassing, saying that I don't even dare to go to court.

Shen Lun thought about it over and over again, hesitated, and felt embarrassed for a while. Anyway, he went to Chu and had nothing to do with Xianyang City. Then he thought that a real man should be open and honest. As long as he did not change his face, why would he be afraid of ridicule?

Finally, Shen Lun decided to go to the court to take a look. There was no other reason. After all, the exiled immortal helped him so much and was about to leave Guanzhong now. He should thank him anyway.

I went to the court to thank me, and I would always go to Shangjun Villa to thank me, after all, I can save 100,000 yuan...

Thinking of this, Shen Lun washed up and prepared to go to court.

Before leaving, he looked in the mirror and found that after these days of tossing, his face was withered and looked very embarrassed.

Alas, it's getting late, so I can't control that much.

So Shen Lun got on the carriage and staggered to the palace.

Many people had gathered outside the Political Consultation Hall. After Shen Lun arrived, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Suddenly someone sniffed hard and said, "Ahhhh, there was suddenly a little shameless aura here. Have you smelled it?"

The person standing next to Shen Lun suddenly pinched his nose and avoided it, and said sarcastically: "I smelled the same as Zhou Qingchen."

The courtiers burst into laughter, and there was a scent of joy everywhere.

Shen Lun's face turned red and he didn't say a word. He raised his eyes and wanted to find Li Shui. But Li Shui hadn't come yet.

Shen Lun wanted to find Zhou Qingchen again, after all, he could no longer tolerate all the ministers, and perhaps he had a relatively good topic with Zhou Qingchen.

But Zhou Qingchen didn't see it either.

Only then did Shen Lun remember that the group of exiled immortals always came very late. If he had known, he wouldn't have come so early. Isn't this looking for someone to be ridiculed?

At this time, Xu Yong suddenly walked over slowly, looked at Shen Lun sympathetically, and then sighed heavily.

Shen Lun's heart suddenly felt warm. He, a friend, did not disappoint him.

Xu Yong whispered: "Brother Shen, what kind of ecstasy soup did you drink? How could you take your son Gao to recognize the exiled immortal as your uncle? You are the first serving in the world."

Shen Lun was still relatively relaxed in front of his friends. He smiled bitterly and said half-jokingly: "Why is it the first one? Isn't the exiled immortal also the uncle of Mr. Fusu?"

Xu Yong laughed: "That's different, that's what the banished immortal called himself. When did Mr. Fusu admit it? But you are different, you took the initiative to get it."

Shen Lun sighed and whispered: "What can I do? I will go to Chu soon. Chu has never been peaceful. Not long ago, Wang Heng even told Your Majesty that Xiang Liang from Chu had the intention to rebel. I don't know if he could survive this time."

"The banished immortal comes from Chu after all, and is familiar with the situation there. Young Master Gao and I went to ask him for advice. As for Young Master Gao, who is the master of Young Master Fu Yao, you also know that he is the master of Young Master Fu Yao, and he deserves this title."

Xu Yong nodded: "So that's it."

Shen Lun looked at Xu Yong with anticipation: "Brother Xu, can you know what I am in a difficult situation, right?"

Xu Yong was silent for a while and whispered: "Brother Shen, you and I have been with you for many years, and I don't mind helping you. For the sake of this, you can only take advantage of this opportunity to say to all the ministers. You said that you went to Shangjun Villa because you were deceived by the exiled immortal, no, you were threatened by the exiled immortal. This is not your original intention."

Shen Lun was shocked.

Xu Yong patted his shoulder: "Anyway, you are going to Chu, what are you afraid of? No matter how powerful the banished immortal is, he can't do anything to you even if he is thousands of miles apart."

Shen Lun shook his head slowly: "To be honest with Brother Xu, I was in Shangjun Villa. After the guidance of the exiled immortal, I have already asked for the trick to save my life. The exiled immortal has kindness to me, how can I repay my kindness to revenge?"

Xu Yong said with dissatisfaction: "Brother Shen, you have figured it out. You are against the civil and military officials of the court. Do you want to be ridiculed by them? Isolated by them? There is no hope of career from now on? As long as you say that you are threatened and there are many people in the court who sympathize with you. In the future, you may be able to come back from Chu."

Shen Lun was filled with excitement when he heard this, but in the end he shook his head.

Xu Yong's face changed and he said lightly: "Brother Shen, you are too selfish. You went to Chu, but left others in Xianyang City to suffer."

Shen Lun was a little puzzled: "What?"

Xu Yong said, "Who doesn't know in the court? You and I are the best friends. If you defect to Huaiguzi, most of the people think of me the same way. You must know that I have a low official position and have no right to recommend it. My children need to ask for help from the court as officials."

"Now those adults are very dissatisfied with me. Haven't you cut off my Xu family's career?"

Shen Lun was stunned: "This...this..."

Xu Yong said: "Brother Shen, just do it for me. My Xu family has been grateful to you for generations."

Shen Lun gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Xu, maybe you are close to the exiled immortal. If there is an exiled immortal, it should not be difficult for your children to enter the court to become officials."

Xu Yong's face changed: "You want me to be as shameless as you? Shen Lun, you are too much."

Before Shen Lun could speak, Xu Yong suddenly took a step back and said loudly: "Everyone, I am Xu Yong, and I have always been intimate with Shen Lun. In the past, I was deceived by him, but I didn't know that he was such a shameless villain. Today, I broke up with Shen Lun in front of you. From then on, Shen Lun and me have no connection. I, Xu Yong, are clean and upright, and will never be with shameless villain such as Shen Lun."

"Okay!" Many court officials applauded.

Several powerful ministers nodded and praised: "Mr. Xu values ​​character rather than closeness and distantness. He has a noble character, which is admirable."

After hearing this, Xu Yong was immediately overjoyed. As long as he was appreciated by all the ministers, wouldn’t his nephews enter the court and become officials?

When Shen Lun heard Xu Yong's words, he was immediately embarrassed and angry. Unexpectedly, countless people were mocking him recently, and the one who completed this fatal blow was his best friend.

Shen Lun sighed deeply and finally made up his mind to go to Chu in the past few days.

In Shen Lun's eyes, Chu land was an uncivilized wilderness. He didn't want to go there, but he wanted to delay it, delay it until the deadline, and then set off slowly.

Now it seems that Xianyang can no longer stay there, so it’s better to set off early. These court officials are even more terrifying than rebels.

While Shen Lun was sighing, he suddenly heard someone beside him ask curiously: "What's wrong?"

Shen Lun turned his head and found that it was Li Shui.

He immediately took Li Shui's hand as if he had seen his relatives and said, "I'm going to Chu. The banished immortal helped me a lot, and I want to thank you."

Seeing that he was almost crying, Li Shui was puzzled and thought: The ancients had such rich feelings. If I just clicked him a few words, he would be moved to cry?

At this time, Li Shui heard a burst of sneer coming from not far away.

Li Shui turned his head and found that the court officials were busy turning their faces. However, there were always a few slow reactions that allowed Li Shui to see the ridiculous look on their faces.

After thinking for a while, Li Shui understood what was going on.

He asked Shen Lun in a low voice: "So? Are you making friends with me? Are these people mocking you?"

Shen Lun felt warm in his heart and said in a deep voice: "They don't know the benefits of exiled immortals. They talk nonsense. Do not get angry with the exiled immortals."

Li Shui laughed and said to Shen Lun: "Why are they scolding you? Tell me the whole thing."

Shen Lun doesn't want to say anything. People like him have been studying since childhood, full of knowledge and noble character. They can't do things like making small reports behind their backs.

But Li Shui must force him to say and declare that what he doesn't say is just a ulterior motive.

Shen Lun had no choice but to tell the whole story of what happened in the past few days.

Li Shui patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, Benxian knows this. He will definitely make the decision for you."

Shen Lun bowed and thought to himself: I'm going to Chu anyway, it doesn't matter.

At this time, the time has come, and all officials enter the Political Consultation Hall to discuss politics.

After the national affairs were discussed, Li Shui stood up.

The courtiers all focused their attention on him, a little curious about what would happen to him today.

I heard Li Shui say: "Your Majesty. I have recently compiled books on both common sense subjects. Shangjun Villa has completed the compilation of books. These books are enough to be used for the imperial examination. If there are new discoveries in the future, they will be added and announced to the world."

"There are currently two books. Shangjun Villa sells them at a price of 100 yuan per book. Any scholar who is interested in the imperial examination can go and buy them and study them carefully."
