Chapter 1402 The Battle between Hong and De (Happy New Year!)

Chapter 1402 The Battle between Hong and De (Happy New Year!)

After changing into court clothes, Shen Yi still took the time to go to the backyard to look at Shen Ling, and said with a smile: "Third brother, Your Majesty has something to discuss with me. You can stay here for now. When your work is over tomorrow, we brothers can get together again." Let’s talk together.”

Shen Ling looked up and down at Shen Yi's first-class court uniform, and said with a click of his tongue: "Qilang's outfit is really majestic."

"People only rely on their clothes."

Shen Yi cupped his hands and greeted everyone in his family, then left the Shen family in a car and entered the imperial city.

After arriving at the Manlu Palace, Shen Yi saw a middle-aged woman in luxurious clothes who was talking to Emperor Hong De. He quickly stopped, turned to look at Sun Jin beside him, and whispered: "Eunuch Sun, the Queen Mother How can you bring me in here?"

"I'll wait outside."

After saying that, he was about to exit the Manlu Palace. Eunuch Sun quickly lowered his head and said: "Master Marquis, how dare I make my own decisions? The Queen Mother just told me to let you in."

Shen Yi turned around and was about to speak when he heard the voice of Queen Mother Sun.

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "After all these years, Lord Shen still remembers the grudge against the Ai family?"

Master Shen quickly raised his head and glanced at the current Queen Mother.

When Shen Yi heard this, he frowned in his heart, and then quickly lowered his head and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the Huai'an Army is not my Huai'an Army, but the royal division of the imperial court, and your Majesty's Huai'an Army. If the Queen Mother wants to send generals there, Officer, as long as His Majesty agrees, I have no objection whatsoever."

The emperor and Shen Yi sent the Queen Mother to the gate of Ganlu Palace. The Queen Mother got on her sedan chair, looked back at Shen Yi, and after thinking about it, she said: "Shen Qing, what happened back then has long since passed. Don’t keep it in mind, when you have nothing to do, you can also go to Kunde Palace and walk around.”

His Majesty the Emperor was originally talking to the Queen Mother, and was currently reading a book. When he saw Shen Yi kneeling down, he frowned and said, "Didn't I say I won't kneel down when I see you? Get up quickly."

The Empress Dowager Sun entered the palace very early. When Emperor Hongde was 16 years old and wanted to take charge, she was still a young woman of 33 years old. Now more than ten years have passed, and although the Empress Dowager is already nearly fifty, she is in good health. , she looks like a lady in her early forties.

After Shen Yi sat down, she spoke: "The current Lord Shen is very different from the former Master Shen who suppressed the Japanese. You are much more mature than you were back then."

Mr. Shen said with a smile: "I was young and ignorant at that time, and I bumped into the Queen Mother. If not for the Queen Mother's forgiveness, I would have been dismissed from my post for some reason and returned to my hometown to teach. How can I have the little credit I have today."

The Queen Mother smoothed her hair and said softly: "Go back to the palace."

Shen Yi quickly leaned forward: "I obey my orders."

Shen Yi was startled, and then he realized that it was not that the Queen Mother wanted to see him, but that the Queen Mother happened to be in the Manlu Hall, and the reason why she announced her entrance was just to meet him.

Empress Dowager Sun nodded lightly, and then said with a smile: "But Shen Qing's temper in his bones should not have changed. If the Ai family sends a few of his natal family members to his Huai'an army, he might have a big quarrel with the Ai family again." One."

When Shen Yi was just suppressing the Japanese in the southeast, he had some conflicts with the Queen Mother over sharing peaches. Since then, he has never seen the Queen Mother in private again, and the Queen Mother has not given him any advice for a long time. Shen Yi looked good.

After hearing this, Queen Mother Sun couldn't help but smile on her face, and then asked Shen Yi to sit down.

Emperor Hong De smiled and said: "The Queen Mother has seen it. Shen Qing has always been able to speak and make people happy to listen to her."

After the Queen Mother left, the emperor walked back to the Manlu Palace with his hands behind his back, shaking his head helplessly: "It's really annoying. When the north was still fighting, I wanted to send people to the north to help Zhang Jian take care of the place. These things in the court No one, including our distinguished relatives, wants to go to the north. Now that the north has settled down, I don’t know how many people are racking their brains and trying to get there."

However, it was precisely because of that farce that Emperor Hongde formally established his authority as the emperor and became the only emperor of Dachen.

Empress Dowager Sun smiled helplessly and did not continue. After looking at her son, she stood up and said, "Okay, the Ai family will not disturb you monarchs and ministers."

Queen Mother Sun was startled when she heard this and turned to look at her son.

The landlady came to speak, and Shen Yi could only step forward quickly and go in to salute the two ladies. He knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, Shen Yi, and the Queen Mother."

It’s just that almost ten years have passed, and these are already things of the past.

Mr. Shen was not polite. He stood up and said with a smile: "I am very grateful for your majesty's grace. However, the Queen Mother should be regarded as my elder. It is the New Year, so I should pay tribute to the Queen Mother no matter what."

Only then did Shen Yi realize that the Queen Mother was probably busy and wanted to do some errands for her family.

He followed the emperor, thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, as long as it's not a particularly important errand, it's okay to give some out. The north does need manpower now."

The emperor said "hmm" and said, "Cheng Tingzhi and Chen Yu are doing quite well in Henan. Now the three offices of envoys in Henan have been established, and order has been gradually restored in all states and counties."

The emperor rubbed his head and said helplessly: "Before, there was a war in the north every day, and I was very busy. Now that the war has come to an end for the time being, I thought I could take a rest, but I didn't expect to be even busier than before. I don’t know how many people come to this Manna Hall every day to look for me.”

While they were talking, the two of them had already entered the Ganlu Hall and sat down again. Shen Yi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you can leave it to Zhongshu. There are too many things for Your Majesty to do alone." "Either the nobles of the imperial court, or My relatives, how can I entrust Zhongshu with these matters?"

His Majesty the Emperor shook his head and sighed: "My uncle came to see me the day before yesterday, but I didn't see him. No, the Queen Mother came to Ganlu Hall today and said that I would not go back to Deqing Hall to rest every day."

His Majesty the Emperor snorted: "The documents in the Manna Palace are piled up like a hill, as if I like to sleep here every day."

Mr. Shen thought for a while, and then asked: "Master Sun, does he want to..."

"I want my family members to go to Shandong to become officials."

His Majesty the Emperor shook his head: "I told him no. The imperial court has been exhausted in the past few years. Now it is time to recuperate, but they are sharpening their swords."

"It's not because of this that I came to you."

The emperor picked through his desk, found several memorials, placed them in front of Shen Yi, and said, "Take a look."

Master Shen reached out and took it. Among these documents, there were documents from the Ministry of Rites, documents from the Yushitai, and... documents from Taichang Temple.

Seeing Taichang Temple, Shen Yi had roughly guessed the contents of these documents.

Taichang Temple is in charge of the mausoleum.

Shen Yi opened it one by one and read it, and finally opened the memorial from the Yushitai. The content of the memorial was not long, but every word was heartbreaking.

"Emperor Taizu of Chen established his capital in Yandu, and the country fell apart after more than a hundred years, so that Emperor Shizong was forced to travel south."

"The people of Qi established their capital at Yandu, but after more than seventy years, the country was ruined and the family was destroyed."

"Today Da Chen is based in Jiankang, and the Holy Emperor has fought for several generations to sweep across the north. This is enough to show that Da Chen's destiny is in the south. If he returns to the north again, two or three generations later, the change of crossing to the south may happen again."

Seeing this, Shen Yi closed the document with an angry look on his face.

In these documents, without exception, the success of Dingbei was attributed to Feng Shui and fate. In just a few sentences, the Huai'an Army officers and soldiers almost took away all the credit for several years of hard work!

Although they said this mainly to prevent the relocation of the capital, it still annoyed Shen Yi.

Seeing that Shen Yi's face was not very good, Emperor Hong De smiled and said, "I knew you would be angry after seeing this."

"I am also angry."

Emperor Hong De said calmly: "I haven't officially moved the capital yet, and these people have already started to make trouble."

Shen Yi whispered: "These people have terrible intentions, and most of them are used by others."

"Those people behind them are even more cruel!"

His Majesty the Emperor thought for a while, then nodded: "It will take a few kills, but now, there is no reason to drop the sword."

Shen Yi was thoughtful and said, "Your Majesty, you want me to submit a letter advocating moving the capital?"

The emperor shook his head: "It's too offending. With your current status, there is no need to do such speculation."

He said calmly: "There are many officials in the imperial court who are frustrated and frustrated. There are always some people who want to please me."

"Shen Qing, just watch."

"After the New Year begins, the court will soon become lively."

His Majesty the Emperor smiled calmly: "When the time comes, Shen Qing will have to sleep less."

"Cooperate with me."

Shen Yi understood immediately.

"I will obey your will."
