In the early years of Xuanhe, the flames of war were beginning to subside, and the sound of pipa resounded in the tile houses of Bianjing City.
Shen Yanci came to Beijing with this spring breeze. His mother carried him all the way from Jiangnan to Bianjing, carrying the box of books with worn corners. He entered the Imperial Academy at the age of sixteen, entered Zhongshu Province at the age of twenty-six, and stood at the top of the court at the age of thirty-six.
Everyone said that Shen Shoufu was as cold-hearted as iron, and he never showed any mercy when he played a duel, involving half of the officials in the court. No one knows that there is an old jade button on his desk all year round - it is of average quality and has a small piece missing from the corner.
That jade button was given by Han Tingyun. Back then, under the locust tree on the back wall of the Imperial College, Han Tingyun broke the jade button in half, put half into his hand, and kept the other half for himself.
"Whoever bullies you in the future, take this half and come to me."
Later, Han Tingyun went to Lingnan with his father for one or two years. Shen Yanci walked up the court step by step, the half jade button in his hand getting brighter and brighter. He has participated in so many people, but he only blocked three impeachments for the Han family - no one knows why.
On the day Han Tingyun returned to Beijing, Shen Yan left the court and walked through the corridor. Han Tingyun stood under the locust tree, holding up the half jade button in his hand and facing it to the light.
"Shen Shoufu," he smiled, "Try to combine them together?"
The two halves of the jade buckle fit together tightly.
The crack in the middle is like the two years they missed.
Determination: Although the flames of war are extinguished, the original intention will never be extinguished; when one reaches the position of minister, the youth's promise will not be changed.
