The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

After lunch, seeing Shen's mother fidgeting, Zhao Zhang wisely left, leaving Shen Jia's mother and son to talk.

Shen's mother looked at her son inexplicably. Her son has been very assertive since he was a child. He was very calm when he was young, and he was consistent at home. Why did he seem to be a different person in front of Zhao Zhang?

"Okay, I've read it, I'll go back first for my mother, your father and the others are still waiting for news."

"Isn't someone sending home every day to say I'm fine, why are you still worried?"

Shen's mother gave him a white look, "You said it easily, how can we feel at ease when we haven't seen you?"

Shen Jia stopped her mother's shoulders, her earlobe was a little red, coughed and said: "Then you can see now that I'm fine, just right, I'll go home with you today."

"Come on, I think you are so happy to live here." Mother Shen pushed him away, walked around the bedroom, nodded, "Living here is more comfortable than at home, you can live here if you want. "

"The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as our own doghouse. Of course, it is more comfortable to live at home." There are so many people in this palace, who knows how many hidden eyes are staring at him, even sleeping is not as safe as at home.

While speaking, Shen Jia called for someone to come in to pack his things, but in fact there was nothing to do, just take a few doses of medicine back and it would be fine, and then let someone go to inform the emperor, and she took Mother Shen to the empress to pick up Liu Yanwan.

When Shen Jia led his mother and wife in name out of the palace, he also met Xu Shoufu and the six ministers, and they looked at each other from a distance. Shen Jia saluted them on the sedan chair, and then avoided to let them pass first.

Xu Shoufu looked back at the distant backs of the family of three, and asked thoughtfully, "How many days has Mr. Shen lived in the palace?"

Chu Rongwei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, frowned and said displeasedly: "This Shen Jia really has no rules. He just stays in the palace with a slight injury, and he is not taking the emperor's favor. I really don't know what the emperor thinks. Make an exception for him again and again."

Qiao Shangshu glanced at the two of them, and said with a snort: "He is a serious brother of the same school, his age is similar, and his relationship is naturally good. It is rare that the emperor has a friend who can talk to him. Shen Jia is also good-natured and gets along well. What does it matter? Haven't you noticed that since Shen Jia became an official in the court, the emperor's temper has become a bit milder, and he listens to persuasion. This person likes to be friends with people who are like-minded, and so does the emperor. Need a friend."

Qiao Shangshu himself didn't think there was anything wrong with these words, but Xu Shoufu had an idea and thought of a possibility, a possibility that could connect Shen Jia, Gao Xun, the eldest princess and the emperor.

It's unbelievable, how could he think so?But as soon as this idea came out, it seemed to take root, urging him to find out the truth.

Zhou Qing walked up to Qiao Shangshu, and asked casually: "Master Qiao doesn't care about things now, does he? I don't know whether your old position will be given to Chen Shilang or Shen Shilang. Chen Shilang is calm and qualified, and Shen Shilang is smart. With grace, it’s not easy to make a choice.”

Qiao Shangshu was not fooled, he stroked his beard and said: "This kind of matter is for the emperor and the officials to worry about, it has nothing to do with the old man. Speaking of which, what is the reason why the emperor called me into the palace today? The old man has not been in court for a long time. I don't know what happened."

Zhou Qing answered him: "It should be about the marriage with Waqi. Although there are rules to follow, and the Ministry of Rites is already doing it, I heard that the emperor wants some dowry from this marriage."

"Could it be that Waci came here empty-handed to ask for marriage?" Qiao Shangshu didn't pay much attention to court affairs, let alone this kind of sending the princess to marry him, he didn't agree with it in his heart, and he didn't know what the emperor thought.

"Of course not, but what the emperor wants is not those. Let's go, the emperor should be in a hurry."

Zhao Zhang didn't wait in a hurry. He heard that Shen Jia had left the palace with Shen's mother, and personally ordered someone to send a lot of rewards to the Shen's house. government.

A few days later, the news of Shen Jia's injury in the Princess's Mansion had already spread. Although the reason was unknown, the reward at this time should be to compensate Shen Jia.

The people in Shen's residence were already familiar with dealing with orders, and they were very calm when they watched the things being moved into the house one by one.

Father Shen saw that Shen Jia was being helped in, and Mother Shen looked suffocated, so he asked, "What's wrong? Are you seriously injured?"

Shen Jia walked over and walked around in front of him, "Don't worry, Daddy, the injury is not serious, he will be fine in two days."

"Then why does your mother look like she wants to hit someone?"

"This...hehe, my son doesn't know either."

Shen's mother sat on the chair, looked at the boxes of imperial gifts, frowned and said, "I just heard some gossip outside, and I just feel uncomfortable."

"Since it's gossip, then don't worry about it too much. It's not worth it to get so angry. Tell me quickly, what does the palace look like? Is it extraordinarily grand and magnificent? Is it all made of gold and jade?"

Shen Peng's son, Brother Yu, suddenly said: "No, grandfather, the palace is just bigger than ours. I don't think it's fun at all."

"Haha, I even forgot that brother Yu also lived in the palace. Speaking of which, the emperor is really good to our family. Nothing to say, brother Yu, are you not being naughty in the palace?"

"No, I'm a good boy. I wake up at Yinshi every day and go to class with Brother Ting. Those old masters start to lose their nerds early in the morning. It's boring."

"Brother Ting? Zhao Ting?" Father Shen never asked how Brother Yu was doing in the palace before. He only thought that Shen Jia sent the child to live in the palace for a few days in order to protect the child. He had no idea that he was with Zhao Ting.

In this way, Zhao Ting's identity... but it's not surprising that his surname is Zhao, and he is a relative of the emperor.

"Yes, brother Ting is the second oldest in the palace. Everyone except the emperor listens to him, but he is very prestigious. He lives alone in a palace, which is bigger than our family and has more servants than our family. But he said, it's more fun at our house." Brother Yu said and gestured with an innocent look.

Shen Jia and his mother looked at each other, both of them had helplessness in their eyes, it seemed that Zhao Zhang's identity could not be kept today.

Father Shen is not stupid, he has lived in Chang'an for so long and of course knows that there are two masters in the palace, one is the emperor, and the other is Prince Rui who has just been canonized as the crown prince.

"Zhao Ting is... the crown prince?" Shen's father asked in shock, "Then...then his uncle..." Yes, why did he forget that the crown prince is the emperor's nephew, isn't it the relationship between uncle and nephew? It took so long to know.

His eyes fell on Shen Jia, and the other party smiled flatteringly at him, "Yes, Dad, the emperor and the crown prince used to go on tour in disguise, so they didn't dare to reveal their real identities casually, and I was afraid that everyone would feel uncomfortable if they said it."

Father Shen went to see his wife again, and asked, "You already knew?"

"Hey, it's not very early."

He looked at the rest of the family, and his daughter-in-law didn't need to ask. She came out of the palace. No wonder his daughter-in-law basically avoided seeing Zhao Zhang's uncle and nephew every time he came to the house. At first, he only regarded it as a man and a woman Great defense is limited.

In addition to Shen's father, Shen Peng also had a shocked face. It was only then that she realized that the Zhao family's uncles and nephews who often came to the house turned out to be the current emperor and prince. No wonder, no wonder Shen Jia's official career was prosperous, and the speed of promotion was not as fast as a horse. It turned out that they The Shen family has such a strong backer.

Father Shen remembered the relationship between Shen Jia and Zhao Zhang, his expression changed suddenly, he pointed at him and said, "You, follow me to the study!"

Shen Jia followed under Shen's mother's sympathetic gaze, and when the study door was closed, Shen's father picked up a feather duster and pointed at him, "You bastard! Kneel down!"

Shen Jia knelt without hesitation, and listened to Shen's father chanting: "You bastard, you can just hide it from me, but you even dare to find someone like this, are you crazy or stupid? That's the emperor! How noble is he, can he grow old with you or be with you for a hundred years? How dare you act like this? If this matter is leaked, how will you face the people of the world? How to face the historian, this will be infamous forever! "

After Father Shen finished speaking, he raised the feather duster and hit Shen Jia. The first time he hit his shoulder, Shen Jia let out a scream, covered his shoulder and trembled, with a pained expression on his face, even sweat dripped down.

Father Shen paused, remembering that he was still wounded, and he didn't know if he was hit on the wound just now. He felt very regretful, but he couldn't apologize, so he had to throw away the feather duster, "Ahem, get up , for the sake of your injury, I will put this beating on your account first, and you can tell me honestly, what are you two thinking, no matter what, you have to make us prepare, In the future, even if you can't stay in Chang'an anymore, you can evacuate as quickly as possible."

Shen Jia sat on the ground, and slowly told him her thoughts. He didn't know how long this relationship could last, whether he could bear the world's scorn, and whether he had the courage to bear the stigmata. Every day Zhao Zhang was together, he never regretted it.

Father Shen drove him out after hearing this, and sat alone in the study for a long time, thinking about it for a long time. Early the next morning, he sent a few family stewards back to Shuzhou, and asked them to go back and renovate the old house in the name of repairing the ancestral hall. Xiu, the sold land was also bought back, and some shops and properties were bought, and they were even asked to bury a box of gold and silver in the old house.

After Shen Jia found out, he just pretended not to know, and he didn't tell Father Shen that when the day came, let alone the old house in Baoning Mansion, even the people close to him might not be able to keep it, but he wouldn't let the matter go up to that point.

He also has plans for a way out, but it is not Baoning Mansion, but outside Dajin. When he formed the caravan, he had this idea in mind. It is best to be useless. If it really reaches the point where he can't stay in Dajin, He will leave here with his family, whether it is going to the Western Regions or overseas, there will always be places they can't find.
