The imperial concubine bows down to me

Stopping the thoughts that were drifting away, Shen Zhi narrowed his eyes, and let out a long breath in his heart.She turned and left, and Liu Shuyan's voice was farther and farther away in her ears.

Familiarly, he climbed over the wall and exited the Penglai Hall. As soon as he landed, Shen Zhi raised his head and saw Cao Min who was still walking back and forth nervously not far in front.Shen Zhi walked towards him, and when he saw Shen Zhi who came out "safe and sound", he was completely relieved.

"My servant has seen Your Highness. It is already dark now, Your Highness... Your Highness wants to go back to the East Palace? If... If you still don't want to go back, this servant can accompany His Highness for a walk here to let off the smell of wine." He glanced around Looking around, seeing no one around, I lowered my voice as much as possible, and asked Shen carefully.

Although it was already dark at the moment, through the reflection of the moonlight, Cao Min could vaguely feel that something was wrong with Shen Zhi's eyes and the surrounding atmosphere.He thought in his heart that Shen Zhi happened to bump into something he shouldn't have seen in the past, and he was angry, so it's better to be careful and conceal when speaking.

Unexpectedly, Shen Zhi not only didn't blame him for not listening to her and followed her privately, but also said in a surprisingly flat tone: "Go back, I'm lonely." After she finished speaking, she waved to Cao Min, and then went back to the palace first. went in the direction.

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Tianhe sat on the long-lost dragon chair again, and all the officials talked to each other cheerfully.

For a period of time after Shen Tai was demoted, apart from allowing himself to relax a little, Shen Zhi did not take it lightly.With Liu Shuyan's help, she followed some clues to find some remaining courtiers who were inclined to Shen Tai and threatened her, and they all tried their best to demote or transfer out of the capital.Now in the court, there are almost no people who have a strong opinion of Shen Zhi, and it looks like a happy scene.

Only Shen Zhi was alone, and his mind seemed to be out of place, and he was a little smiling.Fortunately, her face was blocked by a mask, and she was standing in the first row, so others couldn't see anything.But her absent-mindedness fell into Shen Tianhe's eyes, and she was easily spotted.But after all, with so many people present, even if Shen Tianhe wanted to ask, it was not now.

Everyone was assembled, and as soon as the time came, the ministers stopped the discussion, and formally bowed to Shen Tianhe according to the rules: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live——"

"My dear friends, please get up quickly." As soon as everyone knelt down, Shen Tianhe quickly excused them.

To be honest, Shen Tianhe can be regarded as a rare enlightened king who can speak widely, accept advice and listen at the same time.At the beginning of the discussion, he briefly summarized the situation of the royal conquest, and sent someone to announce the imperial decree calling for some meritorious officials to be promoted and rewarded. Then he asked the officials about the situation in the court during this period.

Although during the time he was away, there would be a special person summarizing the daily situation in the capital into a letter and rushing it to the front line with him within [-] miles, but the letters he wrote to Shen Zhi often failed to arrive smoothly. In her hand, Shen Tianhe didn't know whether the letters he saw were real or whether Liu Shuyan wanted him to see them.

And Liu Shuyan was indeed quite bold. After Xue Jiang forced the palace to spread to Shen Tianhe's ears, he realized that something was wrong, so he sent it back for the first time. The letter already mentioned that Shen Zhi must not embarrass Shen Tai. the meaning of.But at that time, almost all the guards in the East Palace were replaced by Wei Feng's people, and even the palace people were interrogated and ordered by Liu Shuyan one by one, because Liu Shuyan had communicated with them in advance, so the letter naturally came out It fell into her hands and has been detained ever since.

One of the two who did such a rebellious thing was benevolent to him, and the other was a rare pillar of talent. Even so, he didn't want to do anything to them, so he could only bury this matter in his heart and treat it as Nothing happened.

As soon as Shen Tian ran out with this question, Wei Feng, whom he both loved and hated, was the first to stand up and answer the question.

"Returning to Your Majesty, during the period of your royal conquest, some people with impure minds saw that His Highness the Crown Prince was young, so they developed evil intentions and tried to conspire to usurp the throne, which would be detrimental to His Highness. Fortunately, His Highness is thoughtful, Your Majesty With foresight, before leaving, he ordered the imperial concubine to assist His Highness. The two teamed up to find some clues and saw through their plan in advance. This turned the world around and turned the crisis into safety. As for the specific details, His Majesty must be aware of it. I won't go into details. In addition, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also made decisions about some major events, such as the shortage of war horses on the front line, the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, the poisonous gas in the south of the Five Ridges, etc. His Highness's unique insights and strategies made the minister feel refreshed. It can be seen that the Crown Prince Although His Highness has not been exposed to too many political affairs before, he is still a malleable talent. I am sure that as long as His Majesty no longer obsesses with political affairs as before, but devotes more attention to cultivating the prince, with the help of the prime minister Before and after, in time, the prince will become a great weapon, able to follow His Majesty's wisdom, and become a generation of profound

Ming Jun who is loved by the people! "

As expected of Wei Feng, Wei Feng could kill several birds with one stone even if he answered casually.He blamed the treacherous ministers, and praised all those who should be praised, and he did not forget to secretly accuse Shen Tianhe of not paying attention to Shen Zhi before, but this is true, and Shen Tianhe can't find any faults at all.

Shen Zhi didn't expect Wei Feng to praise her so much as soon as the court began to discuss matters. She hurriedly stepped forward, saluted Wei Feng politely, and responded humbly: "Uncle is ridiculously praised. I'm not as good as my father." The sages are still far behind."

As soon as Shen Zhi's voice fell here, before Shen Tianhe had time to comment, Liu Xiuyun stood up again and said: "Your Majesty, I very much agree with what Guang Luqing said just now. During the few days since the emperor left Beijing Month, I have a lot of contact with His Highness the Crown Prince, I think..." Liu Xiuyun, like Wei Feng, briefly summed up and added some major events that happened in the court, focusing on Shen Zhi, and what he said was reasonable According to the data, Shen Tianhe couldn't laugh or cry.

Hearing Wei Feng and Liu Xiuyun's words, and seeing the nodding and thoughtful expressions of the other officials, Shen Tianhe also knew that the news he had received was true, so there was no need to ask any more questions.

Regarding what the two said, Shen Tianhe was noncommittal and just nodded symbolically, but he also knew very well in his heart that they wanted to give him a high hat in public first, so that it was difficult for him to back down.After all, Shen Tai is not dead yet, and Shen knows that there is indeed a "fault" in this matter. If he insists on pursuing the matter and "redressing Shen Tai's grievances", after the limelight passes, he will look for an opportunity to recall him to Beijing, which is not right. Not at all possible.

Forget it, until now, there is indeed nothing to salvage on Shen Tai's side.It's just that Shen Tianhe can't make up his own mind about how Shen Zhi's future will go now, he still plans to make a decision after asking Shen Zhi what he means after he goes to court.For him at present, the more important thing is to stabilize Wei Feng, let him dispel the idea of ​​going back, and keep him in the capital.

Shen Tianhe confuses Shen Zhi's matter with ambiguity, Wei Feng wants to say something more, but he has already stepped forward and said: "But Wei Aiqing, I once promised the queen that I would not keep you by my side. So you can no longer hold the position of Guangluqing."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was stunned.Fortunately, what Shen Tianhe said next after chuckling made them heave a long sigh of relief.

"Now the crown prince is not yet weak, and still needs to be taught in many aspects. The former grand master is not in good health, and the status of noble concubine is still inconvenient. After thinking about it, only Wei Aiqing is the most suitable for this great task. Your assistant Being around the prince is not considered to be serving me, nor has I violated my promise to the queen." After Wei Feng agreed, Shen Tianhe continued, "When the prince was in charge of the country, he purged the court, and now, many important officials in the court The post is still vacant. The imperial court is employing people, but as the saying goes, it is better to be short than excessive, and I don't want to rush this, but it is not a good thing if there is no one for the position of Taiwei for a long time. So I want to ask Wei Aiqing When I was appointed as the crown prince and grand teacher, I owe you a favor by taking the position of Taiwei temporarily. After I find a suitable candidate, I will make another plan, what does Wei Aiqing think?"

"I don't dare." Hearing this, Wei Feng knelt down immediately in "fear" and said repeatedly, "If your majesty has ordered, I will definitely go through fire and water and die. This is the duty of ministers and the people. How can you talk about favors? I am all sent by His Majesty, and I am willing to do my best for Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, and the State of Guo—”

"Let's walk around with me." After the early morning dispersed, Shen Tianhe walked down the steps, waved to Shen Zhi, and signaled her to follow him.

Shen Zhi nodded, and followed behind him, seeing that he pushed back the eunuch who was with him, and walked a short distance with him, then heard Shen Tianhe say again: "Zhier, it was inconvenient for so many people yesterday, today I I called you here alone because I wanted to ask you what you really think in your heart." As for what the idea was, both of them had tacit understanding.

"Father... In fact, at the beginning, I really didn't think about being the emperor." There was no one around, and Shen Zhi didn't hide it, and said frankly with Shen Tianhe, "But later, the father went to the imperial court personally, and knew that Brother Wang After having misbehavior, the son-in-law was worried about the safety of his father and the future of the people, so he gradually developed such thoughts, and in the following days, he strengthened such thoughts bit by bit. The son-in-law knew these things It was really wrong not to have asked for the consent of the emperor, but at that time things were urgent, if the minister and... the imperial concubine hadn't done that, maybe they wouldn't be alive today."

It turned out that even Shen Zhi thought so too.Shen Tianhe secretly sighed: "Then... have you thought about the future? Being an emperor is not just about caring about the people and specializing in government affairs. You have to learn to face and adjust many human conditions and deal with many Trivial and trivial things, you have to learn... to accept being cut off your wings, restricting your freedom, and maybe no one can understand your loneliness. I lost too much because I got this throne, so my father... I don't want you to die again. Go this way."

"But father, if the minister is unwilling to shoulder this burden, who can father rest assured that the world that the Shen family has worked so hard to bring down?"
