marquis of jingan

Chapter 806 "Intimate"

From Hongde's seventh year of Shen Yizhong Jinshi to today, for more than four years, whether passive or active, he has been preparing for the Northern Expedition.

But no matter how much preparation Shen Yi has made, he alone cannot decide the course of history.

At least not now.

Therefore, the Northern Expedition...had no progress.

And now!
When the emperor said these words!
Hongde's northern expedition finally took a solid step forward, and it was a crucial step!
Shen Yi lowered his head, with a smile on his face: "Yes, I will leave for Huai'an tomorrow morning."

He paused, and said: "Your Majesty, if the Northern Qi Dynasty increases its troops along the Huaihe River, the pressure along Huai'an may increase suddenly. By then, the bet that the coastal capital will guard Huai'an for two years will not be counted for now?"

"It's natural."

The emperor said with a smile: "His Huaihe Navy can't stand up to the almost doubled Qi army, and they need the support of the court. Since they also need the support of the court, it is naturally impossible for Huai'an to support it independently."

"I will send the forbidden army over in due course, and it will be at your disposal."

Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head slightly and said, "In this case, I can rest assured."

He cupped his hands to the emperor and said, "With your Majesty's words, I can guarantee that Huai'an's defense line is as solid as gold."

After speaking, he was about to bid farewell and leave.

The emperor spoke to persuade him to stay.

"Don't be in a hurry, there are still many things to discuss."

He said with a smile: "Today at noon, Shen Qing should not leave, and have a meal with me in the palace, and leave in the afternoon."

After saying this, he waved to Gao Ming, eunuch Gao understood immediately, and handed the eldest prince Li Wang into the hands of the emperor. The emperor hugged Li Wang, walked up to Shen Yi, and stretched out his hand to touch the child's face , said with a smile: "Emperor, this is your Uncle Shen."

This pie is a bit big...

Shen Yi has no clan status, nor does he have honorable status. He and the emperor have a very pure relationship as a monarch and minister. This uncle should not be done anyway. Master Shen was taken aback. He quickly took two steps back, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the court It has its own principles, no matter what..."

He wanted to say that no matter what, the uncle should not be called.

The emperor smiled and shook his head, and said, "It doesn't have to be from me."

"Shen Qing, don't forget, the fate between me and Concubine Hui was continued by you, Shen Qing. You and this child..."

The emperor smiled and said, "It's a great fate."

"It's right to call you uncle."

Shen Yi stood with his hands down and stopped talking.

He and this child do have some relationship, because back then, in order to build a good relationship with the emperor, he did help the emperor with some "private affairs".

It is precisely because of this private matter that the Great Prince Li Wang was born.

Although there is such a relationship, to be honest, Shen Yi doesn't want to put this relationship on the surface, and he doesn't even want to have anything to do with Concubine Hui's mother and son.

After all, this is just a concubine prince.

The battle in the harem is also very troublesome.

He, Shen Ziheng, was born as a Jinshi in the second list, and now he is a fourth-rank official at a young age. His future is already boundless, so there is really no need to have anything to do with these girls.

However, His Majesty the Emperor seemed to really want his eldest son to have something to do with Shen Yi.

Li Wang was smart at first, and he could talk a lot now. After being guided by the emperor for a while, he called out the not-so-standard "Susu" in a naive manner.

This is the first uncle of the eldest son of the Hongde Dynasty.

Even his own uncle, Yue Wangyu, could not hear this uncle.

Shen Yi lowered his hand, silently took two steps back, without speaking.

The emperor smiled slightly, held the child and played for a while, then handed the child to Gao Ming, and said: "Go, send it back to Concubine Hui, I'm going to discuss business with Shen Qing."

Eunuch Gao respectfully took it over and stepped back.

On this day, Shen Yi stayed in the palace until the afternoon, chatting with the emperor about the details of the front line, and then took his leave and left the Ganlu Hall.

His Majesty the Emperor personally sent him two steps, and said: "This time the Northern Qi will increase its troops, the previous waves of offensives will definitely be very fierce. After you go back, you must guard Huai'an well."

"It's mostly defense this year."

His Majesty the Emperor warned: "Until next year, I will not move any more."

Speaking of this, he looked at Shen Yi and said in a deep voice: "In the past two years, you have fought well in Huai'an. After two years, even if the five old guys from Zhongshu were all killed on the golden pillars of the Deqing Hall, I will I will also give you a military servant!"

The two are about the same age, and they are only 21 years old this year. Two years later, Shen Yi will only be 24 years old.

The 24-year-old Minister of the Ministry of War can be said to be rare in ancient times!
Facing the boss's big pie flying in, Shen Yi hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, you must not conflict with the ministers of Zhongshu because of the minister..."

"rest assured."

The emperor smiled and said: "There will be no conflicts. After Huai'an, your military exploits, Shen Ziheng, will be known throughout the court. Even if those old guys feel uncomfortable, they have no reason to object."

Shen Yi bowed his head to thank him, and the monarch and his subjects parted ways at the gate of the Ganlu Hall.

After sending Shen Yi away, the emperor returned to the Ganlu Hall to review the memorials that he hadn't had time to review because of meeting Shen Yi. After working in the Ganlu Hall for more than half an hour, a young woman in palace attire was holding a bowl of soup. After walking in, she carefully placed the soup in front of the emperor, and spoke softly.

"Your Majesty, it's getting hot. This is the iced lotus seed soup made by my concubine for you. Take a few sips to relieve the heat."

The emperor put down the vermilion pen in his hand, looked up at the woman, and rubbed his temples: "Let's put it away, I'll drink after I'm done with my work."

"Let's drink quickly."

The woman sat down, and while helping the emperor to serve the soup, she said: "Eunuch Gao and the others have inspected it before letting the concubine pick it up. The weather is hot this year, and the ice will melt in a short while. Drink it cool, and it won't taste good after a while."

Hearing this, the emperor had no choice but to put down the vermilion pen, and took two sips of the soup handed over by the woman.

"Aifei's craftsmanship is really good."

This concubine is naturally Concubine Hui.

In fact, among the concubines in the current imperial concubine, she is the only favored concubine who dares to disturb the Emperor's office in Ganlu Hall.

Seeing the emperor bowing his head to drink the soup, Concubine Hui blinked her eyes and asked, "Your Majesty, the emperor is practicing calligraphy with you today. How is your practice?"

The emperor put down the lotus seed soup, glanced at Concubine Hui, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Perhaps Ai Concubine doesn't want to ask him about calligraphy practice, but wants to ask Shen Qi's attitude towards him, right?"

Concubine Hui lowered her head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you know that my concubine comes from a humble background. In Jiankang City, I have no one to rely on except Your Majesty. I am trembling in the harem every day."

"The concubine does not want the future of the emperor's son, but also acts like a concubine."

Concubine Hui's eyes were slightly red, she lowered her head slightly and said, "I don't ask for anything else, I just want Mrs. Shen to accept the student Huang'er..."

"If Mr. Shen is unwilling, the concubine will go to his house in person one day and kowtow to him...!"

Concubine Hui bit her lips lightly and sobbed, "Please also ask him to agree!"

"Princes have always learned to learn from teachers at the age of five or six."

The emperor patted her on the back, and said softly: "How can anyone who is less than two years old find a teacher?"

"Besides, Shen Qi has a heavy responsibility right now, and I don't want him to be distracted by my family affairs."

Seeing Concubine Hui crying sadly, His Majesty the Emperor had no choice but to pat Concubine Hui on the back, and said: "Don't worry, Concubine Ai, after a few years, Shen Qi is done with the things at hand. grow up..."

"I mentioned it to him personally."

Concubine Hui smiled happily, wiped away her tears, and lowered her head to the emperor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, my concubine!"

The emperor pinched her face and smiled dotingly: "You are the only one with a lot of tricks."

At this moment, the young couple seem to be very close and have a very good relationship.

However, they also have their own plans.

Concubine Hui, of course, is desperately trying to increase the political capital of the mother and son.

And the smiling His Majesty the Emperor...

Maybe there is no idea of ​​using the mother and son to fight against the descendants.

After all, at this time, the Sun family, the descendant of two generations of queens, is already extremely huge!

To be an emperor, you must not only balance the court, but also balance the harem!

After the couple had a conversation, Concubine Hui took away the chilled lotus seed soup, then blessed His Majesty the Emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine will not bother you to deal with state affairs."

She bit her lip lightly, smiling coquettishly.

"Your Majesty, come to the concubine's palace today, and the concubine will cook another soup for you..."

The emperor smiled knowingly.

"Okay, later, I'll go look for my concubine."
