The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

When Shen Jia returned home with the beauties bestowed by the Queen Mother, Father Shen was the one who reacted the most. He stopped people from entering the backyard, and sent the housekeeper to place them in the outer courtyard casually, and then took Shen Jia to the study to give lectures.

"The family has not been settled yet. What are you doing bringing two women back? Let me tell you, our Shen family doesn't like three wives and four concubines. Your father and I have never had any other women in our lives. Now you are I have some skills, but I can't be unrestrained in women's sex!"

Shen Jia hurriedly explained: "Father, it was a gift from the Queen Mother, not what I wanted."

"Hmph, do you think I don't know that the nobles in the palace must have a reason for rewarding people. Why do you reward beauties in such a good way?"

Shen Jia actually felt that it was very reasonable, if it wasn't for him to take advantage of Feng Qiugui, he wouldn't have caused two troubles to come back, "It was my mistake, I will go and apologize to Yan Wan."

Shen's father sighed for a long time, and said helplessly: "What kind of couple are you like this? When will you be able to add a grandson to the Shen family?"

"Father, if... I mean, if I don't have a son in this life, will you not accept it?"

"I'm not that unreasonable person. It's the same when you have sons and daughters. Didn't your mother even take concubines when she gave birth to three daughters?"

"No, what if you don't even have a daughter?"

"What's this called? How can a good-looking person not be able to have children? Is there something wrong with your health?" Father Shen woke up suddenly. Could it be that Shen Jia really has a hidden disease?Otherwise, how could you leave your beautiful wife alone in the vacant room?

"No, it's just that there are some things that are different from ordinary people. Maybe there will be no children in this life."

After all, Father Shen had lived more than twenty years longer than Shen Jia. Hearing his words, he suddenly thought of a question, and then looked at Shen Jia with a changed look, as if he had been greatly frightened.

He ran to close the doors and windows tightly, pulled Shen Jia and asked in a low voice: "Tell Dad honestly, you...do you not like women?"

Shen Jia nodded with relief, he had already talked about this, his father finally understood.

"When did you find out?"

"Very early, when I was thirteen or fourteen."

Father Shen recalled many things. For example, when he wanted to arrange a family for Shen Jia in the early years, he always put it down under the pretext of focusing on his studies. For example, his cousin at home was beautiful, but he was indifferent. Several times, he saw Shen Jia staring at each other brighter than usual.

I didn't think about it before, so I didn't think it was unusual, but after hearing what he said, I naturally guessed what was going on. It's no wonder that there is only one best friend around him all these years.

As expected, his son has inherited his special affection, so I'm afraid he won't easily transfer his love to another.

He sank down on the chair in a daze, "Son, why...how did you get involved in such a thing? The other party has already married a wife, and it is impossible for you, what are you going to do with your life?"

Shen Jia was startled, and asked suspiciously: "Father, do you know who I like?"

Father Shen stared at him and said, "I'm not stupid. It's hard for people not to know about your sticky appearance towards Zhao. You...does the other party know?"

Shen Jia was hesitant to tell the truth, maybe his expression was too tangled, Father Shen misunderstood, sighed again, hugged his son to comfort him: "Forget it, don't care if he knows it or not, he's already married I can't go together with you, why don't you try another person? Dad knows that people in Chang'an City pay attention to face, and they will definitely not let their children live with a man for the rest of their lives, but we can go to other places to find someone. Ah, find someone who also likes you, and marry him back home when the time comes, your wife has already said that she will be our daughter, and your mother likes her very much, why don't you just recognize her as your goddaughter."

Shen Jia's eyes turned red when she heard this, her nose felt sour, and she leaned on his father's body and asked, "Father, can you accept that your son likes men?"

"So what if you disagree? Can you change?"

"No."

"So, what else can I do?" If Shen Jia is not married now, Shen's father will definitely pressure him to give it a try. Maybe his sexual orientation will change after he gets married?But there is a ready-made daughter-in-law in the family, who is as beautiful as a fairy, but Shen Jia is still indifferent, which shows that he really has no feelings for women, even if he is forced to live with women for the rest of his life, what can change?

Shen Jia laughed, feeling relieved, wishing to tell him now that you already had a male daughter-in-law, but she didn't dare in the end, fearing that the sympathy she got would be ruined.

He hugged Shen's father and said, "Father, you are so kind, you understand righteousness! I am so lucky to be your son!"

"Stinky boy, you have done a lot to honor your father's face, and you are considered a glorious lintel. What am I not satisfied with? People can't take up all the good things. Life is unsatisfactory, either here or there , we must learn to accept the reality.”

"Yes, you are quite right." Perhaps because the atmosphere was too good, Shen Jia tentatively asked: "Father, if I bring a boyfriend back, will you agree?"

Father Shen didn't know what "boyfriend" meant at first, and thought it was a male friend, but under this topic, he knew it couldn't be just an ordinary friend, so he frowned and asked, "Who do you want to take?"

"I mean, if I catch Zhao Zhang and bring him home, do you agree?"

"No, he's already married. What you do is tantamount to destroying other people's families. You can't do such a bad thing!"

"Then if he has other reasons for marrying a wife? Like me."

"There is no such thing as a coincidence. I know you have admired him for many years, but you can't daydream. This kind of thing still requires your love and my wish. The melon that is twisted is not sweet..." Shen's father hadn't finished speaking. There was a knock on the door, and his entourage reported at the door: "Grandpa, the old lady sent someone to tell you and the master to have dinner quickly, saying that Master Zhao and Young Master Zhao are here."

Father Shen had just found out who his son's sweetheart was, when he heard that the pair of uncles and nephews had come, his expression became unpredictable, he wavered between reason and his son's happiness, and finally he drove his son to the restaurant as fast as he could.

Zhao Zhang brought Zhao Ting here on purpose. After the banquet in the palace was over, they sent the Queen Mother back to the Palace of Compassion and Peace. After a busy day, the Queen Mother was also tired.

Zhao Zhang was afraid that Shen Jia would feel uncomfortable being targeted by the queen mother, so he hurried out of the palace and came to Shen's residence. In order not to appear too abruptly, he brought Zhao Ting with him, saying that uncle and nephew had just come out of the palace and passed by Shen's residence. Call on the old lady.

The old lady knew about his relationship with her son, so naturally the mother-in-law was very happy to see her son-in-law, and personally arranged for someone to cook delicious food, and then sent someone to inform Shen Jia and his son.

"Queen Dowager Qianqiu, why do you have time?" Although the old lady is a fourth-rank imperial order, she is not qualified to enter the palace to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday. Did not join in the fun.

"The banquet is over. She is exhausted and has already fallen asleep. Let's take a look at your elders." Zhao Zhang respects the old lady very much, and Zhao Ting also really likes this easy-going old lady, but he just heard something wrong. Yes, the old lady seems to know their identities, but he has never revealed them.

"The old lady knows the identities of me and my uncle?" Zhao Ting asked bluntly.

Shen's mother took his hand and said with emotion: "I know, there are some things you can't hide if you want to hide them, as long as you have the heart, you can see it. I am very happy that you like Shen's residence, this is the fate of the two families."

Zhao Ting was confused, seeing his uncle's calm expression, he didn't ask anymore. When he saw Shen Jia and his son coming in, he got up and saluted them.

Shen Jia is now also a young master, his benefactor, no matter what his status is, the other party can accept this gift, not to mention even his uncle stood up to welcome the two of them.

The meal was very silent. Shen's father just found out about his son and was full of anxiety. Shen's mother tried to cover up for her son and couldn't talk to Zhao Zhang much.

Shen Jia was guilty, lowered her head to pick up the meal, ignored the weird atmosphere, dragged Zhao Zhang to the study after the meal, said that there was something important to discuss, Shen's father coughed and reminded him not to go too far.

Shen Jia let go, and said solemnly: "Father, eat slowly, I'll ask him if he can get those two beauties back."

When the two returned to the yard, Zhao Zhang's tense muscles finally relaxed, as if he had returned to his own home, ordering his servants to do this and that.

After washing away their exhaustion, the two sat in the study and had a good talk.

"Why did you ask me to bring those two people back?" Shen Jia asked.

"You don't have to worry about it. I will take him away in a while, and you can just treat him as if he is still in your house."

"What should the queen do if she finds out?"

"Naturally, I'm the one to support you. Do you think she really wants you to hire those two? It's just to make things difficult for you."

"This method of adding obstruction is not clever at all, and it has no effect. What is her old man thinking? Will she continue to target me?"

Zhao Zhang didn't know too well, if it was before, the Queen Mother would have decided to deal with Shen Jia when she knew about such a thing, but when the relationship between mother and child was so difficult, she would not dare to do anything to Shen Jia if she wanted to restore the relationship between mother and child.

"It's hard to say, you pay more attention, I will arrange someone to protect you."

Shen Jia believed in him, even if there was an accident, it would be beyond the reach of manpower.

"Tomorrow are you really planning to take the envoys to the military camp?"

"Naturally, didn't you say that you should make them afraid of Da Jin so that they would not dare to offend easily? There is nothing more powerful than a barracks."

Of course Shen Jia knew this, otherwise all dynasties and generations would not like to hold military parades just to show the world their powerful military capabilities.

However, what he was worried about was whether the military barracks in Kyoto could have this level?A large number of people is not an advantage, what should be displayed is the outstanding demeanor of the soldiers and the advanced weapons.

"Are you sure?"

"In terms of fighting alone, we are no match for foreigners, but in terms of military strategy and weaponry, our Dajin will not easily lose to others."

"If the military parade does not have a particularly prominent effect, it may backfire." Shen Jia said worriedly.

Zhao Zhang asked him back: "How much do you know about the imperial army?"

Shen Jia was a civil official, and most of the books he came into contact with were from the local area. He knew very little about the military.

"I only know a little bit that the Beijing Patrol Battalion has 20 troops, which is the most powerful force to protect the capital."

"Yes, the patrol battalion does not appear in the city every day, and few people know the true strength of the patrol battalion."

Shen Jia didn't understand, he asked: "If they have never been on the battlefield, how can their strength compare with veterans who have gone through hundreds of battles?"

"The patrol battalion will change a group of people every three years. They are all elites selected from the garrisons in various places. They are not recruits, nor are they comparable to those of the Jinwu Guard. Moreover, the weapons and equipment of the patrol battalion are the best and can be displayed. The military style is definitely the best."

"It turned out to be so, then I will have to take a good look at it tomorrow."

"The military parade is nothing. What can really show off its power is the hunting in the future. With the character of the Tatars, they will definitely propose a showdown with the Dajin warriors. It is not that there have been such competitions in previous years. In terms of skill, our Dajin also There are masters, they are no worse than them, but when it comes to riding and shooting, you lose more than you win."

"Even if we lose, will it still affect the border war? It's just a competition."

Zhao Zhang felt a little more relaxed, hugged him and said, "Indeed, it's just a competition, and it's okay to lose."

"Hmph, if they are good at riding and shooting, they must be better at riding and shooting? If they have the ability to compete with us in poetry, poetry, chess, calligraphy and painting, let's see if they can't be tortured to death!" Shen Jia said viciously.

"Yes, I'm afraid they don't have the guts to continue the battle."

"That's even better. Taunt them to death. The Tatar envoys are not pleasing to the eye. According to Zhao Ting, these people have ridiculed him a lot."

"That's because they don't know the heights of the heavens and the earth. Brother Ting has made great contributions this time. Waci has decided to withdraw his troops and has taken the initiative to write a letter to be my Dajin's vassal state. In the future, if the Tatars dare to send troops again, Dajin and Wacha can join forces to let them Enemy from belly to back!"

"This is a very good thing. The news spread to the border is also conducive to enhancing self-confidence, but they always have to show sincerity. Should they sign the contract first or retreat first?"

"No, they want to marry the princess of Dajin as the princess for their prince."

"What?" Shen Jia looked at him angrily, "You won't agree?"

Zhao Zhang frowned and asked him, "Why is there such a big reaction? There are two princesses of the right age in the palace, and the queen mentioned a few days ago that she would choose a son-in-law for them. The marriage between the two countries has existed since ancient times."

"Why is our princess married? No matter how good they say, what if the princess is abused after marrying? The sky is high and the emperor is far away. You can't even support her, and they are the ones bowing their heads. What kind of face do you have?" Ask to marry our princess?"

"In the past dynasties, the purpose of sending princesses to marry is not only to conclude a covenant, but also to confuse the royal lineage. Think about it, if the child born to our princess can inherit the throne..."

Shen Jia interrupted him and said, "According to what you said, the Oach Tatar should have been included in the territory of Jin Dynasty long ago. With the blood of half of the Han people on his body, will he definitely bring his people and wealth to the court? He Are you stupid?"

Shen Jia disliked this kind of kinship policy the most. The men felt that it was worth it to exchange so many benefits with a woman, and the princess was born to enjoy the wealth and power that others did not have, so naturally she should bear the responsibility of sacrificing herself for the country and the people.

"You don't agree with marriage? Is it because marriage is useless?"

"No, I just feel sorry for your sister. She is the golden branch and jade leaf of Dajin. Are you willing to marry and suffer in the northwest?"

Zhao Zhang told the truth: "I don't have a deep relationship with them. I don't see them a few times a year, so I can't talk about being reluctant. Moreover, they were princesses in the past when they married, and they will be queens in the future. They don't suffer hardships, and there are princesses who live with each other Great example."

"What if the two countries go to war? Are they still alive?"

Zhao Zhang stopped talking, his brows huddled together, as if he was seriously thinking about whether the deal was worth it or not.

Shen Jia pushed him, "Don't think about it, war is inevitable, it's a matter for the whole country, what can sending the princess to get married can change? Even if you don't have feelings for those younger sisters, you can't push them into a pit of fire."

"But I didn't think about it. The other party sincerely proposed to marry me, and there happened to be a princess of the right age in the palace. At that time, I thought it was suitable and didn't object."

"Then...you can't regret the marriage?"

Zhao Zhang shook his head: "No, I didn't object or agree. I just said that it needs to be discussed in the long run, but the courtiers will definitely agree."

Shen Jia muttered in a low voice: "Of course they would agree if it wasn't their daughter. Their own children will hurt themselves."

Zhao Zhang was stunned for a moment, afraid that he would never be able to understand Shen Jia's respect and love for women, but this did not prevent him from listening to Shen Jia's words.

"Then I refuse." Zhao Zhang didn't think that Wacha would dare to tear up the contract without peace.
