marquis of jingan

For a long time, the court has not been completely helpless against the Zhao family.

After all, although the Zhao family is deeply rooted in the Huaihe Navy, the Marquis of Anping has been building health!
Since the Zhao family was passed down from generation to generation by General Zhao Chong, over the past few decades, the direct descendants of General Zhao Chong alone have numbered dozens of nearly a hundred. Most of these people live in Jiankang, especially the main branch of the Zhao family. , all live in the Anping Hou Mansion in Jiankang.

Because of this, both the emperor and General Zhao are trying to maintain a balance, and neither of them is willing to turn against each other directly.

For example, if the emperor could make up his mind, he would first issue an edict to call Zhao Lu back to Jiankang, and then send someone at the gate of the palace to take him directly.

Then send imperial envoys to rush to the Huaihe Navy to read out the decree, take all the Zhao family members to Jiankang and take them into custody, and then quickly promote a general with a non-Zhao surname to take charge of the Huaihe Navy.

So……

At that time, there were not many people in the Huaihe Navy who were really willing to be passionate and accompany the Zhao family to rebel.

Things calmed down.

Why didn't the emperor do this?
Because the Huaihe Navy is too important to make mistakes.

Because these years, the Zhao Clan has been careful to maintain the ingenious balance between their own family and the court.

Because the emperor...

There are also some small thoughts.

This kind of careful thinking is nothing more than trying to maintain balance.

Which balance should be maintained?
Maintain the balance between the Northern Expeditionists and Conservatives!

In this way, if the Northern Expedition does not go well in the future, with the Huaihe navy guarding the front line, the emperor can hide in Jiankang and kill him directly, and live a comfortable life as an emperor of the Southern Dynasty.

Although, the young Emperor may not think so in his heart, but subconsciously, he must have had these thoughts.

It was precisely because of the emperor's hesitation that Shen Yi's coastal capital was inexplicably pushed to the Huai River defense line to resist the Qi people.

The bottom line was that the emperor wanted to see if the army Shen Yi had created was useless and could hold the Huaihe River.

In other words, can it replace the Huaihe Navy?

But now, Shen Yi basically had a showdown with the emperor.

If you want the Northern Expedition, you must first clear the Zhao Clan!

Otherwise, there is basically no possibility of anything being done.

Seeing Shen Yi with a serious face in front of him, the emperor was silent for a while, then looked up at Shen Yi, and said in a low voice, "Shen Qing, if this matter is not good, it is a great change."

"Your Majesty, I have the confidence to calm down this great change."

He stood up, bowed his head respectfully and said: "Your Majesty wants to make a career, and there are some things that must be experienced!"

"Zhao Clan..."

"All right."

The emperor stopped Shen Yi from continuing, but said slowly: "I understand what Shen Qing said."

"I need to reconsider."

"Before you leave Jiankang this time, I will give you an answer."

The emperor looked at Shen Yi, stood up silently, walked in front of Shen Yi, reached out and patted Shen Yi's shoulder, and said helplessly: "I know, Shen Qing is probably blaming me in her heart, but Shen Qing, you must also be considerate and considerate of me. "

"You and I change places."

The emperor's tone was full of exhaustion: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to make up your mind."

"It's a heavy burden."

The emperor laughed at himself: "It almost made me a coward."

The emperor's words were still very distracting.

To be honest, Shen Yi may not have the determination of Emperor Hongde to change places.

After all, if you think about it carefully, as long as he doesn't work hard and works hard as emperor for the rest of his life, it's definitely not a big problem.

And once he works hard, maybe a mistake, in an instant, the country will be ruined and his family will be destroyed. At that time, the enemy will step on Jiankang, and Jiankang, a prosperous city in the world, will become the capital of Yan more than 60 years ago. It looks like a ghost.

His mother, queen, concubines, and children!

They could all become the playthings of Qi people!

Repeat the tragedy in "Yan Wen Lu"!

Such a huge risk cannot be ignored!
Changing places, if Mr. Shen became Emperor Hongde, maybe he would have been eating, drinking, having fun and playing girls every day... a draft girl, and he would be a happy and foolish king by showing off!
And His Majesty the emperor in front of him, who has been in power for nearly six years, can almost be said to have not forgotten his original intention, and has been busy preparing for the war.

This is a very rare thing.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi respectfully bowed his head and cupped his hands.

"Your Majesty Sheng Mingrui Duan..."

He really wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the emperor. The emperor patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "There is no need to say more useless words. It is getting late. I know your wife is pregnant again, so I won't stay." You are in the palace, Shen Qing, come back to the palace tomorrow morning, and I will talk to you in detail."

Master Shen bowed his head respectfully, and after saluting, he left the Ganlu Hall and went home to sleep.

At this time, he had been away from Jiankang for several months, and his wife's belly was already pregnant.

Apart from the pregnant Lu Ruoxi, there is another more important matter at home these few months.

That is, after a family's hard work, Shen Zhang finally agreed to the marriage between Shen Heng and Chen Youniang. The young couple's wedding date is set at the end of the year, and they are planning to get married in Jiankang.

After returning home, Shen Yi hugged his wife and slept all night, feeling another little life in his wife's belly that was about to grow up, and the exhaustion of being outside for several months seemed to disappear.

…………

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Shen Yi followed the emperor's instructions and went to the palace again.

Today is not the day of the court meeting, so the emperor was waiting for Shen Yi early in the morning at the Ganlu Hall, but today, he was not the only one waiting for Shen Yi.

In the Palace of Ganlu, a child who was about to learn to walk was sitting on the emperor's exclusive seat, held in his arms by His Majesty the Emperor, holding a not very thick brush in his hand, writing big characters clumsily.

Some large characters were knocked to the ground, after Shen Yi bent over to pick them up, he unfolded them and glanced at them, only to see that the characters on the paper were crooked and ugly.

But thinking of the owner of these characters, Shen Yi picked up the big characters and put them on the table, then looked at the child, lowered his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the eldest son of the emperor should be less than two years old now." stop?"

"It's too early to learn to write so early."

"I also think it's early."

The emperor got up, picked up the child, handed it to Gao Ming, then turned to look at Shen Yi, and said with a faint smile: "It's just that his mother always wanted to teach him to write, but she couldn't learn it well, and even now she can't hold the pen steadily. "

It is strange for a child under the age of two to be able to hold a pen steadily!

Thinking of this, Shen Yi's heart moved, and he looked up at the eldest son of the emperor, Li Wang, who was in Gao Ming's arms.

The eldest son of the emperor is only less than two years old, a little over a year and a half.

The problem is, his "registration age" is several months younger than his actual age!

So, on the surface, he is only a little over one year old.

Such a big child, who can write half a word, is considered a child prodigy!

Thinking that it was Concubine Hui who had been forcibly teaching this child to write...

Shen Yi couldn't help feeling a little chilly...

That concubine Hui, isn't she already planning for the label "Heavenly Saint"? !
Seeing that Shen Yi was deep in thought and remained silent, the emperor smiled and said, "The son of Shen Qing's family should also be able to write this year?"

"It will be last year."

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly, and said with a smile: "His mother has always wanted to teach him to write, and he grew up holding a pen holder since he was a child."

The emperor smiled slightly.

"The children are still young and carefree."

He looked at Shen Yi, and said quietly: "Decades later..."

"Maybe there are worries."

Having said that, he didn't continue talking.

But the meaning of the words is obvious.

He has figured it out.

Even if it is for the next generation, this battle must be fought!

His Majesty the Emperor looked at Shen Yi quietly, and said softly, "Shen Qing, go back to Huai'an."

"After you go back, it's best to arm Huai'an."

"You do what you're supposed to do."

His Majesty the Emperor narrowed his eyes, seeming to have some murderous intent.

"I'll do what I'm supposed to do."
