"Where is Wang Shimian?"
Wang Shimian was a posthumous son. His father died of a sudden illness before he was born, and his mother died of dystocia when he was born. Therefore, although Wang Shimian He is the youngest child of the Wang family, but he is not loved by his eldest sister and brothers. After he came of age, Wang Shijing gave him some property and drove him out.
Shen Tuxu searched the Wang family but could not find Wang Shimian, and then realized that they had already separated. Wang Shimian is still a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites and is not even qualified to go to court. He should still be at home at this moment. Under the guidance of an insider, Shen Tuxu led others to the door of a three-entry house in the capital. There was no plaque on the door, the door was closed, and there were no guards outside.
Shen Tuxu directly asked someone to break open the door. There was only an old man guarding the door who heard the sound and came out, but he didn't know anything about it. There was only enough space to search the house in the third courtyard. It took only a stick of incense to turn it upside down. Judging from the things and official uniforms left inside, it did belong to Wang Shimian, but how could the person disappear? ?
"Let me ask you, where has Wang Shimian gone? If you dare to tell a lie, I will have your legs broken!"
This seems to be the first time the old man has seen him. In such a scene, he was a little nervous and said: "My lord did not come back after entering the palace yesterday, and I don't know where he went."
"Enter the palace? Can you tell me who summoned him?" < /p>
This prince was not liked by the Queen Mother, so she would not summon him to the palace, and Zhao Yan had no reason to summon him. The Wang family was domineering and could enter the palace at any time, but Wang Shimian had never enjoyed such treatment, and it was impossible for the imperial city guards to let him enter the palace without any reason.
"I don't know."
Although Wang Shimian was an official of the Ministry of Rites, he followed Zhao Yu and was stationed in Ganyang all year round. There was only an old man guarding his residence. Naturally, Wang Shimian couldn't say anything.
Shen Tuxu thought for a moment and found out that the gates of the capital had been closed and the Imperial City was also guarded by the Forbidden Army. Wang Shimian probably couldn't escape, so he returned to the palace and reported the matter to Zhao Hen. .
Zhao Yan did not take Wang Shimian seriously, but because of his disgust with the Wang family, he still did not want to let Wang Shimian go, so he sent someone to investigate the matter, and finally confirmed that it was Zhao who The king summoned him to the palace. After that, no one saw Wang Shimian again.
Zhao Yan twirled his slightly raised beard, and after a moment's thought, he asked Shen Tuxu to lead the troops to Zhao Yu's palace.
Zhao Yu seemed to have expected this and ordered the palace door to be closed tightly. However, this was the palace after all and Zhao Hen’s territory. Therefore, after Shen Tuxu showed Zhao Hen’s handwriting, the guards still cooperated. The palace door was opened.
In the main hall, Zhao Yu was holding a tea cup and drinking tea. The table in front of him was in a mess, with several wine bottles lying around. In the corner of the table, Wang Shimian was lying there, seemingly drunk.
"According to His Majesty's decree, Wang Shimian, the remnant of the Wang family, is captured. I also ask King Zhao to cooperate."
After Zhao Yu took a sip of tea, he said: "What do you mean by the remnants of the Wang family? My uncle was kicked out of the Wang family in his early years. Although his surname is Wang, he can no longer be regarded as a member of the Wang family. The Wang family has a beautiful scenery. He didn't get any advantage at that time, and he couldn't be regarded as a remnant of the Wang family when the Wang family fell."
Shen Tuxu sneered and said, "I'm afraid that what King Zhao said cannot be counted. I'll wait and see. Your Majesty's decree, please don't make things difficult for me."
"What's the point? Brother Huang, I will report to you later. You can leave."

"We are responsible for offending you."
Shen Tuxu briefly handed over his hand and planned to grab Wang Shimian and go back to his life. Suddenly, there was a flash of sword light in front of his eyes, and a long sword swept past his hand. Fortunately, he retracted it quickly, otherwise the finger would have been cut off.
"What does King Zhao mean by this? Are you trying to resist the decree?"
Zhao Yu put his sword in his hand and said, "I have said this. The king will give an explanation to the emperor, so Lord Shentu doesn’t need to worry about it.”
Shentu Xu would not be frightened by him, so he drew his sword from his waist and said, “In this case, I am offended. "
Shen Tuxu stabbed Wang Shimian with his sword, and Zhao Yu's long sword lifted his sword edge from the bottom up. Shen Tuxu's wrist flicked, and the sword move followed the trend, and the sword edge stabbed Zhao Yu. chest. Zhao Yu didn't hesitate at all. With a turn of his wrist, the blade of the sword pressed against Shen Tuxu's long sword, and then he pressed Shen Tuxu's sword edge to the ground with a force of his hand.
Shen Tuxu retreated and was freed from Zhao Yu's suppression.
"The Queen Mother passed away last night. Will King Zhao still offend Your Majesty for the remnants of the Wang family?"
Zhao Yu slightly stared. Yesterday, the Queen Mother suddenly summoned Zhao Hen. You know the situation may change. He could leave the rest of the Wang family alone, but Wang Shimian had to save them.
When Zhao Yu was sent to Ganyang to guard the border, it was just when the Wang family was rising, so it was natural to send a member of the Wang family to monitor him. But at that time, the Wang brothers were unable to escape from their heavy responsibilities, and none of their children were adults. They planned to send a branch but were rejected by the Queen Mother. Even if they were to oversee the army, they had to find someone worthy of King Zhao. . So after procrastinating, Wang Shimian was sent to monitor Zhao Yu, but to the outside world, he was said to teach King Zhao.
It is not known whether outsiders believe it or not, but Wang Shimian believed it anyway.
When he arrived in Ganyang, he taught Zhao Yu conscientiously every day. Even if Zhao Yu deliberately bullied him, he never got angry. Reports to the capital are always full of compliments and trivial matters. Over time, the Wang brothers also relaxed their vigilance towards King Zhao, thinking that Zhao Yu was just a child with a greedy nature.
In Zhao Yu's view, Wang Shimian was upright and selfless, which was different from other members of the Wang family. He was also his uncle, so the relationship was extraordinary.
Zhao Yu had already speculated about the death of the Queen Mother. Now that it was confirmed, he still felt a little sad.
"I have already said that I will give my brother an explanation for this matter. If Lord Shentu still wants to arrest people by force, then let me try to see if Lord Shentu is really as rumored." He is versatile in both civil and military affairs."
Shen Tuxu did not continue to press Zhao Yu, put the sword back in its sheath, and said, "Since King Zhao insists, I have no choice but to report to His Majesty for his decision, and I will resign." < /p>
Now the entire imperial city belongs to Zhao Yan. If Shen Tuxu were to arrest people by force, no matter how hard Zhao Yu tried to stop him, he would still be unable to defeat him with two fists. However, the reason why he gave in was because Zhao Yu at this time Yan's attitude was unclear, and he was afraid of leaving something to say. Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Zhao Yan can use him at this time, so he has great favor and trust in him. However, if Zhao Yan becomes dissatisfied with him one day and uses the excuse of his disrespect to Zhao Yu today, he will be punished. It is still unclear to say that he is treasonous and immoral.
