Chapter 1256

In winter, the sunshine became shorter. When Zhou Shuren went down to the yamen, the sky was already a little dark, and there were still granular snow particles floating in the sky. Although they were as small as sand, if people stood outside for a long time, there would still be snow on their shoulders.

Zhou Shuren looked directly at Ran Zheng, shook the snow on the cloak, "Okay."

Ran Zheng smiled and extended a gesture of invitation, Zhou Shuren got into the carriage without politeness, Ran Zheng followed, and Zhou's carriage followed behind.

Today is Shen Xing following the adults, and Jin Yan's wife is pregnant again. The adults have given Jin Yan a holiday for the past two days. Wearing leather gloves, these were bought by Zhou Mansion.

The carriage didn't go very far, and soon stopped at a lit restaurant.

Neither Zhou Shuren nor Ran Zheng said a word in the carriage, Zhou Shuren closed his eyes directly.

The two of them got into the private room, and there were servants from the Ran family in the private room. The food and drinks had already been placed on the table. After the two of them were seated, all the people in the room withdrew.

Zhou Shuren poured herself a glass of wine first, and took a sip of her favorite wine.

Ran Zheng saw that Zhou Shuren started to eat after drinking. If he didn't say something first, Zhou Shuren would never speak first, "I don't talk, you really ignore me!"

Zhou Shuren put down his chopsticks, "I just didn't expect that you would look for me at this time."

As time goes by and the time goes by, the influence of the crown prince is getting bigger and bigger. Now, as a result of many failures, the old officials who started first have been tricked by the emperor and can't escape, and those who fish in troubled waters are getting more and more courageous.

If it wasn't for the household department being tightly controlled by him, the emperor would come over from time to time, and the household department would not stop like this.

Zhou Shuren has heard the complaints from the Minister of the Ministry of Officials for several days in a row.

Zhou Shuren glanced out the glass window, it was completely dark, and it was the time when the bureaucracy was at the same level.

Ran Zheng smiled wryly, "I don't have your confidence, don't worry, I didn't become ambitious just because of Concubine Ran in my family."

Zhou Shuren was surprised, "Then why are you looking for me so formally?"

Ran Zheng saw that his expression was too serious today, it was difficult for him not to misunderstand.

Ran Zheng took a sip of his wine,

"I did it for other people to see."

Zhou Shuren understood as soon as he changed his mind, "Are you forced into a team?"

Ran Zheng put down his wine glass, "Yeah, our Ran family doesn't have much power, even if we have a concubine, it's just an addition to the power of the harem. The empress wants to be alone in the harem, if, if I don't become an official, I won't be so passive."

As he said that, Ran Zheng looked at Zhou Shuren. All the forces in the harem knew what Zhou Shuren represented. Everyone wanted to win over Zhou Shuren, but no one tried to force Mr. Zhou.

When Ran Zheng couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, he was in a daze. How did Zhou Shuren get to where he is today? Not to mention Zhou Shuren's position as a minister, but his relationship with the royal family. Officials, one has already occupied a position in the local area, one has a bright future, and the other is slowly walking out of his own way, plus there is still an uncle, yes, and the daughter is Princess Qin.

Zhou Shuren had unknowingly become a top power in the capital.

Ran Zheng's eyes were complicated, and he continued: "You also know that my son is here, and my original intention is that the eldest son will return to Beijing next year."

Zhou Shuren narrowed his eyes, "You are afraid that someone will stop you."

Ran Zheng smiled wryly, "That's why I was forced to stand in line. I think you can see that there will be no conclusions about establishing the crown prince a year ago."

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard. Ran Zheng knew the new emperor at home. The new emperor had already made up his mind, and he kept procrastinating just to get the most benefit from the game.

Zhou Shuren thought to himself, Ran Zheng really had no way out, that's why he came to look for him, why did he look for him, the Ran family and the Zhou family are related by marriage, the eldest grandson's wife, and Ran Zheng's direct granddaughter.

Zhou Shuren asked, "The empress in the palace?"

Ran Zheng, "Your Majesty is not young anymore, and it's good that she can keep herself in her condition."

Zhou Shuren understood. To put it bluntly, he was not to be favored. If he didn't have a princess, it would be even more difficult to see the emperor. Now that the emperor is having fun with all the major forces, he would not care about the concubine's natal family.

When the emperor thought about training, he had to win in the game. The Ran family was weak, unlike other harem forces, who were powerful and not afraid, and could afford to wait.

Ran Zheng didn't want to delay his son, and he was also afraid that something would happen to his son outside. Before the new emperor succeeded, the Ran family was attacked. Now that the new emperor succeeded, the queen in the palace still couldn't protect the Ran family. If it wasn't for the emperor's only Princess, he will be harder now.

Ran Zheng drank another glass of wine, "In the struggle in the capital, the weak is the crime."

Zhou Shuren raised his eyes, and the two attacks dealt a great blow to Ran Zheng, "I will not participate in the harem disputes, but I will say a word for you because of our friendship for many years."

There was joy in Ran Zheng's eyes, "Thank you."

Zhou Shuren looked straight at Ran Zheng, "The last time I helped the Ran family, it was because of the in-laws. This time, your Ran family owes the Zhou family a favor, and the favor has to be repaid. As for when to change it, my descendants will go." The Ran family wants it."

Ran Zheng stared blankly at Zhou Shuren, lowered his eyes, and quickly raised his head, "Okay."

Zhou Shuren didn't want Ran Zhengkong to be the white wolf. The last time it was the future of his second son, this time it was the eldest son. The eldest son and the second son are different, and in-laws cannot be used.

Zhou Shuren drank, Ran Zheng was too weak today, but unfortunately he is not a soft-hearted person, and now there is nothing to talk about, "It's getting late, I'll go back first."

Ran Zheng stood up and saw him off, "I'll see you off."

Zhou Shuren waved his hand, "No need."

Ran Zheng waited for Zhou Shuren to leave, and his eyes were complicated. Even if the granddaughter married into the Zhou family today, she would only be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family. Zhou Shuren's position today is because the distinction is too clear, and the favor of the Zhou family is not easy to repay.

Zhou Shuren returned to the carriage, habitually playing with the jade pendant on his waist, thinking about the power of the harem, and then closed his eyes.

Early the next morning, Zhou Shuren went to the morning court. Speaking of going to the morning court, Zhou Shuren was a little unhappy. When he was a servant, he could take turns to rest. Now that he is a minister, he has to go to court every day.

In today's early court, Zhou Shuren didn't bother to listen to the wrangling among the various forces, and just wanted to return to the household department as soon as possible.

Today, the Taishanghuang will come to the household department, and he said that he will bring roasted sweet potatoes. Thinking of this style of painting, Zhou Shuren's beard can't help but twitch. The Taishanghuang is really getting more and more down-to-earth, and he really let himself go.

Especially when the Supreme Emperor is pretending to be stupid, he also understands the three teachings and nine streams. When he is not busy, he will take the glorious deeds with him. Yes, he also taught lockpicking. Yes, he lit up the lockpicking skills!

After the morning court ended, Zhou Shuren left in a hurry and returned to the Ministry of Households. The Supreme Emperor hadn't come yet!
