The little tricks people in the back house like to play are nothing more than blowing pillow hair in the ear of the man in charge, and tossing some little tricks in the back house by the way.
Just during this time, Shen Chenyu was in the limelight, many officials in the court were a little dissatisfied with him, and some wanted to join forces to deal with him.
It's a pity that before they could make a move, the old master had already promoted movable type printing. Originally, Shen Chenyu wanted to credit Mu Linting for this credit.
Although Mu Linting's reputation has been washed clean, but because of the identity of the other party's brother, it is more or less inevitable to be pointed out by some people, so Shen Chenyu wants to give him the credit.
Movable type printing is a good thing for scholars all over the world. If Mu Linting can have a good reputation in the hearts of scholars, it will only be beneficial to Mu Linting in the future.
But Mu Linting is a military general, and the military generals and civil officials have always been hostile to each other. The effect of giving credit to him is not as good as Shen Chenyu, and Shen Chenyu's Zhuangzi has grown good things, so in the end the credit for movable type printing is still given to him.
When movable type printing was introduced, it can be said that it caused a sensation in the whole world. Even some ordinary farmers have heard a lot of news.
When everyone was paying attention to movable type printing, when presenting gifts at the annual palace banquet this year, Mu Linting presented a big gift to the emperor.
At the beginning, when Mu Linting came forward with something, everyone felt that Mu Linting was teasing the emperor when they saw the thing clearly. However, when Mu Linting explained what it was, the expressions of the group of people including the emperor changed.
Productivity in this era is very backward, and there are no improved high-yielding grain seeds for later generations. It is not uncommon for the common people to not have enough to eat, and many people have even starved to death over the years.
But the things in Mu Linting's hands can not only easily solve this problem, but also make the people of the world have enough food, and even solve the problem of food for the army.
Mu Linting's gift is the sweet potato only available in later generations. Sweet potatoes are not only easy to grow, but also delicious when steamed or boiled casually.
The appearance of Sweet Potatoes is not only for the good of the people in the world, but also for Mu Linting. Shen Chenyu wanted the whole world to know, and whenever they ate sweet potatoes, they would remember that their good life came from Mu Linting.
Although there are many bad-hearted people in this world, most people still know how to be grateful. He doesn't need everyone to be grateful, he only needs half of them to remember Mu Linting's kindness.
No matter what happens in the future, their first reaction is not to stand on the sidelines, but to help Mu Linting say a word.
Even if one person speaks a word, and half the country's people come forward, it can make the whole world tremble. Even if something unfortunate happens in the future, Mu Linting doesn't have to be as isolated and helpless as he was back then.
The emperor is a smart man, he knows what Shen Chenyu means and what he wants. So after Mu Linting presented the gift, in order to reassure Shen Chenyu, a courtier, he gave Mu Linting a gold medal to avoid death on the spot.
Originally, because of Mu Linting's gift, the entire annual banquet was already a sensation. When they learned that the emperor had bestowed a gold medal to avoid death, even the faces of the princes changed.
However, this is not over yet, because Shen Chenyu has contributed to the development of movable type printing, the emperor promoted Shen Chenyu to the post of minister of the Ministry of Industry.
It has only been one and a half years since Shen Chenyu became an official, and he has been appointed as the minister of the Ministry of Industry in one and a half years. It stands to reason that people would be jealous if they were promoted too quickly, but Shen Chenyu was not only popular, but her reputation was now unparalleled by a group of scholars.
The group of people who originally wanted to deal with him saw Shen Chenyu's unstoppable momentum. Looking at the appearance of the emperor at the top, it is estimated that even if all of them join forces, they will at most end up in a situation where both sides will suffer.
In addition, the old master intends to create momentum for Shen Chenyu, who is the old master, and the other party is the teacher of the current emperor? Now that the old master is favoring him, some people who have moved their minds can only calm down temporarily.
But they dare not touch Shen Chenyu, but that doesn't mean they dare not touch the Fifth Prince. After all, the more Shen Chenyu climbed up, the more powerful the Eighth Prince would be in the future.
Now is the time when the fifth prince and the eighth prince are fighting for the throne, it is impossible for the fifth prince to look at Shen Chenyu and get up. But now that Shen Chenyu's reputation is so good, and Mu Linting is clutching the gold medal for avoiding death given by the emperor, the fifth prince has no way to target these two people from the front.
Since there is no way to deal with them in an upright manner, the fifth prince can only continue to assassinate them. But the imperial guards in the inner city belonged to the emperor, and the fifth prince could only do it outside the outer city or the capital if he wanted to.
But now it's the Chinese New Year break, Shen Chenyu stays in the inner city every day and rarely goes out. The only person in the Shen family who often went out was Mu Linting, who was very skilled in martial arts.
It is very difficult for the Fifth Prince to kill Mu Linting. Unless...unless he can poison Mu Linting, just like the prince did to Mu Linting back then, no matter how many people he fights, he won't be able to.
Speaking of poisoning is not easy. Those who were able to poison Mu Linting back then are now either prisoners or exiled. Today's Mu Linting only trusts the Shen family, but the same...the Shen family also stay in the inner city.
The Fifth Prince pinched the chess piece in his hand, and suddenly thought of a very good idea. Since Shen Chenyu doesn't want to leave the inner city, then he can just find a way to make him leave.
...
After the annual banquet in the palace, it is a holiday until the Lantern Festival. Originally, Shen Chenyu could finally take a rest, but because Mu Linting was in charge of sweet potatoes, Shen Chenyu had to accompany her husband, but in the end she couldn't really take a rest.
Speaking of such a major event as sweet potatoes, the eighth prince or fifth prince should be responsible for the promotion and cultivation of sweet potatoes. But what everyone didn't expect was that the fifth prince actually recommended Mu Linting to take charge of this matter.
Others don't know what the fifth prince's plan is, but Shen Chenyu and the eighth prince are clear about it. The other party just wanted to take advantage of this matter and add some trouble to them.
After all, growing sweet potatoes requires fields and farmers. If Mu Linting is responsible for promoting it himself, he will inevitably contact a lot of people, and there may be some moths in it.
Of course, the most important thing should be for Shen Chenyu. After all, Mu Linting's martial arts is very strong, and he still holds the gold medal for avoiding death in his hand. Even if the fifth prince did something wrong, there was no way to hurt Mu Linting in the end.
Everyone knows that Shen Chenyu is very kind to Mu Linting, and seeing that the new year is about to be celebrated, he will definitely not let Mu Linting work hard alone.
So the most important thing is Shen Chenyu.
Logically, for the sake of safety, Shen Chenyu should hide in the inner city honestly at this time, but in the end Shen Chenyu followed out of the capital.
Because only when Shen Chenyu left the city, the fifth prince could take action against him and Mu Linting, and it was also their chance to deal with the fifth prince.
Both sides understand the meaning of this time, and they both understand very well what the two sides are planning. But even if everyone is clear in their hearts and knows that there will be big problems if they don't get it right this time, no one is willing to give up such a good opportunity.
The eighth prince was not happy at first, after all Shen Chenyu meant a lot to him. Obviously, as long as they are more careful, Shen Chenyu will be able to join the employee department next year.
Although it's a bit aggrieved to hang on like this, it's very beneficial to the Eighth Prince. As long as Shen Chenyu moves steadily and slowly, the other party will grasp the entire Ministry of Industry within days.
It's a pity that Shen Chenyu doesn't want to grind with the fifth prince, after all, it feels too uncomfortable to guard against thieves for a thousand days. He didn't want the whole family to be in constant fear. Of course, the sooner the fifth prince was eliminated, Shen Chenyu could feel at ease.
