Chapter 70 Raid

As soon as Grand Tutor Liu heard it, he knew what Emperor Jiacheng meant and said with his head down: "He should be the same age as Shen Shilang."

"Your Majesty, are you suspicious..." asked Grand Tutor Liu.

"I am not so paranoid." Emperor Jiacheng smiled, "It's just that for some reason today, I suddenly thought of the Shen family."

"Do you still remember what Shen Liangyu looks like?" Emperor Jiacheng asked again.

"I remember." Grand Tutor Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to check on Shen Shilang?"

"Go check it out." Although Emperor Jiacheng didn't think Shen Shilang had any relationship with the Shen family, he couldn't stand the word Shen now.

Of course, except for Eunuch Shen who is beside him.

"Yes." Master Liu responded immediately.

"In fact, I also remember Shen Liangyu's appearance." The Emperor Jiacheng had a cold smile on his face, but it also seemed like he missed her. "Back when Shen Liangyu was in the capital, he made those noble ladies lose their appetite! When he got married, I don't know how many handkerchiefs were wet in the capital."

Grand Tutor Liu didn't say anything, but Emperor Jiacheng always liked to harp on these messy little things.

He really doesn't act like an emperor.

"Your Majesty, if you don't like Shen Liangyu, why don't you give him a job and send him away?" said Grand Tutor Liu. "As I remember, he is from Chong'an and a cousin of General Wei Zhaoxian. He has lived in the Wei family since he was a child."

"Oh? You seem to have found out a lot." Emperor Jiacheng raised his eyebrows.

Liu Taishi was worried and said quickly, "I just want to share your worries."

It is known that Emperor Jiacheng was using Wei Zhaoxian on the one hand, but suppressing him on the other.

If Wei Zhaoxian were not still useful now, he would have turned into a piece of earth long ago.

"So, Shen Shilang has a good relationship with Wei Zhaoxian?" asked Emperor Jiacheng.

"It was OK before, but Wei Zhaoxian was away from home for a long time. Shen Shilang was suppressed by Wei's wife and children in the Wei Mansion and his life was not very good. Before coming to Beijing, he completely broke with the Wei Mansion. It seems that even Wei Zhaoxian had some complaints. He rented a donkey cart and came to Beijing to take the exam."

"Oh? Why the breakup?" asked Emperor Jiacheng.

Grand Tutor Liu also told the story of Madam Wei's plan to plot against Shen Shilang's marriage.

Emperor Jiacheng laughed as if he had heard a joke. After laughing for a while, his expression suddenly changed. "The Wei family has a cousin with the surname Shen?"

"I have checked and found that there is a cousin named Shen." said Grand Tutor Liu.

Wei Zhaoxian made sure that Shen Shilang's identity was foolproof.

"Although Shen Shilang's parents didn't live a wealthy life, they were able to get by. But they suddenly fell seriously ill and passed away. No relatives were willing to take care of him. Wei Zhaoxian felt sorry for Shen Shilang because he was a good student and couldn't bear to see him ruined, so he brought him home." Liu Taishi said, "But Madam Wei was a person who easily overthought and always thought that Shen Shilang was Wei Zhaoxian's concubine. Wei Zhaoxian also took good care of Shen Shilang. His wife and children at home were resentful and treated Shen Shilang even more harshly."

"So, Wei Zhaoxian wasn't very good to Shen Shilang either." Emperor Jiacheng said sarcastically.

"If you really want to be good to Shen Shilang, how could you not know about the harsh treatment he received in the Wei Mansion?" Emperor Jiacheng sneered, "How could you wait until so many things happened and so many years had passed before you knew about it?"

"Even with Madam Wei's stupidity, she was able to hide it from him for so many years, wasn't it because he didn't pay enough attention?" Emperor Jiacheng said, "So, Shen Shilang is really pitiful."

"Go and check. Is the relationship between Shen Shilang and Wei Zhaoxian really not good now?" Emperor Jiacheng said.

"Yes." While answering, Grand Tutor Liu thought to himself that as the Prime Minister, all he had to do every day was to help Emperor Jiacheng with such trivial and unpresentable things.

As for Su Jinshi, he finally waited until the next day. As soon as the CD time was over, Su Jinshi quickly bought a voice transmission box and told Shen Shilang what happened in the palace.

Because Su Jinshi wanted to know the result of Shen Shilang's palace examination as soon as possible, and had a very bad impression of Emperor Jiacheng, he stayed in the palace to see what Emperor Jiacheng would do.

"He is an emperor after all, but he doesn't do serious work. Instead, he has to talk about these trivial matters and play tricks on people. How despicable!" Su Jinshi said angrily, "I can go to the palace now."

She discovered that the map could be opened as long as it was a place Shen Shilang had been to. In the future, even if she didn't follow Shen Shilang, she could switch places at will.

"I often go to Emperor Jiacheng to help you check the news." Su Jinshi said.

It’s a pity that she returned with Shen Shilang after hearing the results of the palace examination yesterday, and had no idea about what Emperor Jiacheng had done in his study.

"There is an evil spirit in the palace." Shen Shilang said.

"What are you afraid of? I'm not afraid of that. I'm not a female ghost. I'm just from another world. Even if that Taoist is really capable, he can't hurt me at all." Su Jinshi was not afraid at all. "Besides, didn't you say that Taoist was a swindler?"

"Even so, I'm afraid that 10,000..."

"I will be careful, don't worry." Su Jinshi said.

Shen Shilang was at a loss what to do after hearing what Su Jinshi said.

Even if he really didn't allow it, Su Jinshi didn't need his consent. She could go if she wanted to, and he couldn't stop her at all.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Shen Shilang had no choice but to say, "I know I can't stop you even if I want to, but you must at least promise me that you will tell me before you go to the palace. Give me a time frame for when you will be back. If I can't wait for you, I will find a way to find you."

"Okay." Su Jinshi nodded and agreed.

She was confident that she would never be caught by the deceitful Taoist priest.

Afterwards, the official positions of the new Jinshi were also given.

Shen Shilang was assigned to be an editor in the Hanlin Academy, a sixth-rank official.

Logically speaking, the third place winner should be given an official position of the seventh rank, while the first place winner would be given an official position of the sixth rank.

But most people thought that Shen Shilang's talent was actually better than that of the top scholar, so they gave him the third place, but at the same time gave him the sixth rank according to the treatment of the top scholar.

Su Jinshi snorted coldly, "This Jiacheng Emperor really has no rules at all when it comes to doing things. He doesn't think that his method of giving a sweet date after a whip is a combination of kindness and severity, does he?"

Shen Shilang smiled slightly. He was not afraid that Emperor Jiacheng had no rules, but he was afraid that he had some means.

Looking at Emperor Jiacheng now, he has only resorted to these shameful means so far.

However, just a few days after Shen Shilang took office, news came that a surprise attack had occurred on the border.

The Turkic army was able to evade detection at the Daxi border and launch a surprise attack.

The border was facing unprecedented pressure, and Wei Zhaoxian was unable to bear it and asked the court for help.

Unexpectedly, Shen Shilang was summoned to the palace because of this incident.

"I heard that you are Wei Zhaoxian's cousin." Emperor Jiacheng looked at Shen Shilang's face carefully.

Perhaps it was because Shen Shilang’s surname was Shen, and like Shen Liangyu at the beginning, he was both knowledgeable and good-looking.

The first time he saw Shen Shilang, he thought of Shen Liangyu.
