Chapter 849 An Invitation from the North

His Majesty the Emperor seemed very satisfied with Shen Yi's answer. He looked at Shen Yi with a smile, and said with a smile: "If they are willing to throw their children and grandchildren on the battlefield, they don't need to follow your Shen Ziheng's path."

"But don't worry, I will take care of things in the court for you. You can fight at the front with peace of mind. If anyone wants to trouble you in the court, I will be the first to refuse."

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly, bowed and said: "I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness. I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's high expectations and protect the land and the people for Da Chen."

A smile appeared on the emperor's face. After thinking for a while, he continued: "There is one more thing. I want to ask Shen Qing for your opinion."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

The emperor touched the beard on his chin, looked at Shen Yi, and said softly: "A year ago, the Tatars in the north sent me a letter..."

His Majesty's face was calm, he looked at Shen Yi, and said: "They want to form an alliance with me, and when the Northern Qi emperor dies, they will jointly attack Qi with Da Chen."

Shen Yi frowned upon hearing this.

He lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head to look at the emperor, and slowly shook his head: "Your Majesty, Zhu Lizhen is a foreign race, as is the Tatar, and the harm may be even more serious than Zhu Lizhen. Zhu Lizhen has entered the customs for more than 60 years, and now he is not as good as before. Fierce..."

"Anyway, we know each other well."

"If Master Zhu Li is gone and a more vicious Tatar ushers in, then the pressure on the Great Chen Court will suddenly increase!"

The emperor squinted his eyes at Shen Yi, and after a while, he said slowly: "But the five ministers of Zhongshu are all very happy."

"After receiving this letter last year, they planned to send envoys to Tatars to discuss the matter with the Tatars in detail and make an alliance."

His Majesty the Emperor let out a deep breath, and said, "My chancellors feel that the great opportunity to restore the homeland and return to the old capital is finally presented to the imperial court."

Master Shen was expressionless, and said with a sneer: "What about after the fall of the Northern Qi? How should the territory of the Northern Qi be divided? Today, the territory of Northern Qi is almost all my homeland of Dachen. After conquering the Northern Qi, should half be given to the Tatars?"

"Give half to them, Yandu will be divided!"

Shen Yi's tone was a little angry: "Besides, if you give them half, will they be satisfied?"

His Majesty the Emperor smiled at Shen Yi, and said, "So I suppressed this matter, so far only I and a few prime ministers from Zhongshu..."

As he said that, he looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "There is also Shen Qing, you know."

"Honestly, I..."

His Majesty the Emperor said quietly: "It's very exciting."

There is no way, no one will not be moved by this kind of thing.

It has been more than 60 years since Dachen lost half of its country. For more than 60 years, all the emperors of all dynasties have thought of returning to the old capital. If it can be made in the hands of the current Emperor Hongde, even if he pays some price, it will really be famous through the ages !

At that time, one day Emperor Hongde will suddenly disappear, and future emperors will not be able to give him the posthumous title of "ancestor"?
You know, the emperor valued his posthumous reputation the most.

Because of everything in front of them, they have already taken whatever they want, and the only thing left to pursue is the reputation behind them and the evaluation in the history books.

His Majesty the Emperor stood up, stretched his waist, then squinted his eyes, and said, "After all, I have a deep blood feud with Bei Qi."

When today's family was traveling south, many royal families were lost in the north and fell into the hands of Qi people. These royal families...

The end will naturally not be too good.

Especially those Princess Diji, it was really horrible.

Shen Yi has read "Yan Wen Lu", and His Majesty the Emperor has also read it. These are hatreds engraved in his bones. No emperor wants to avenge the bloody revenge 60 years ago.

Speaking of this, His Majesty the Emperor sighed faintly, and said: "But I know very well in my heart that this will not work, not to mention whether the Tatars will keep their promises, even if they keep the promises, they will really win the Northern Qi Dynasty." , and there is no way to sit down and divide the land with the Tatars."

"Undoubtedly, another big battle."

The emperor frowned and said, "So, I'm going to shelve this matter for further discussion."

"I have to think about it carefully."

Speaking of this, he looked at Shen Yi and said, "Shen Qing, you must play beautifully in Huai'an."

He lowered his eyebrows and said: "The better you fight, the more confidence I have to speak. I want to show those old men that Da Chen can restore his homeland without relying on foreign races!"

Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he really wanted to tell the story of Song Dynasty to the emperor in front of him.

But there is no basis for saying this kind of thing, and it is useless to say it.

Fortunately, the young Emperor His Majesty was quite calm and did not really deal with this matter. Otherwise, Shen Yi would step by step to today, and his layout would be completely disrupted, and everything might have to be arranged from scratch.

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said: "Yes, I will try my best to handle the errands well!"

The emperor waved his hand and said with a smile: "By the way, Shen Qing, some 30-year-old wine came in from Shaoxing. I asked the Imperial Dining Room to add some nourishing medicinal materials and boil it with brown sugar. It is very good to drink in winter. Where are you going?" Go to the palace, I will have someone serve you a bowl, you can drink it before you go back, so you can keep out the cold."

This was considered a reward from the emperor, Shen Yi could only bow his head in response, and then sat down in the side hall with the eunuch Lianghua in the palace.

After arriving at the side hall, Eunuch Liang lowered his head slightly and said, "Mr. Shen, wait for a while, and I'll serve it to you when it's hot."

Shen Yi quickly nodded in agreement.

After Lianghua retreated, Master Shen closed his eyes and meditated in the side hall of Ganlu Hall, and after waiting for a while, he suddenly smelled the smell of wine, and then a woman's voice came: "Mr. Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time. "

The woman's voice was quiet, but extremely familiar.

Shen Yi suddenly opened his eyes, only glanced at the woman, then quickly stood up, bowed and saluted: "I have met Concubine Hui!"

After saluting, he turned around to leave this side hall.

Just kidding, being alone with the concubines in the harem will kill your head!

Concubine Hui looked at Shen Yi quietly, and sighed slightly: "Young Master Shen is still so cautious."

Shen Yi didn't even look back, just turned and left.

Concubine Hui said softly: "I begged His Majesty for a long time before His Majesty let me talk to Young Master Shen. Don't worry, Young Master Shen. I will go to Your Majesty's place in just a few words."

Shen Yi stopped, closed his eyes, and didn't look back.

Concubine Hui was tall and tall. She stood behind Shen Yi. After a moment of silence, she opened her mouth and said, "Master Shen, I can enter the palace thanks to you. Now my mother and son are in the palace, and there is a precarious situation. Mr. Shen cannot turn a blind eye."

Shen Yi frowned.

Why are you still relying on yourself?

He said slowly: "Your Majesty, before entering the palace, the minister told her that after entering the palace, fortune and misfortune will follow. As a foreign minister, I would never dare to take care of the affairs of the inner court."

"You don't need Mr. Shen to take care of the inner palace."

Concubine Hui lowered her head slightly, and gritted her teeth lightly: "Master Shen, I want the emperor to enter into a marriage contract with the daughter of the son's family..."

"My son will at least be a prince in the future, and won't disgrace the lintel of your son's family..."

Shen Yi was silent for a while, then slowly shook his head: "Madam, the daughter of the minister's family was only born today, and the minister cannot rely on his own interests to decide who she will marry and what kind of life she will live today."

"In the future, if she grows up, she will fall in love with the eldest son of the emperor, and the eldest son of the emperor will also like her. I will have no objection to their marriage. As for now..."

Shen Yi shook his head resolutely: "I don't want to make such a marriage contract."

Concubine Hui looked at Shen Yi's back quietly, and said, "Master Shen, in this world, how can my daughter's family be able to control herself?"

"Since ancient times, it has been the order of parents and the words of matchmakers."

"I don't care about the daughters of other people's families, but the daughters of the minister's family..."

"It can't be said that it is completely up to her, but as long as the husband and son-in-law are in the eyes of the minister, then she can choose by herself."

Having said that, Shen Yi paused for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers and concubines really can't be alone, I offended you..."

After all, Master Shen strode towards the door with his hands behind his back.

No one dared to stop him and allowed him to leave the Ganlu Hall.

Not long after Master Shen left, His Majesty the Emperor appeared beside Concubine Hui. He held Concubine Hui's hand and said with a smile, "I told you that Shen Qi is quite weird. My son and daughter Don't be in a hurry to get married, it has to be discussed in the future."

"Wang'er is only three years old, and his daughter has just been born, so it's not good to be in a hurry."

Concubine Hui leaned against His Majesty the Emperor and shed tears involuntarily. She wiped her tears with her sleeve and looked at Shen Yi's leaving back with a faint tone.

"To put it bluntly, I just dislike Wang'er as a concubine, if..."

Hearing her words, the emperor frowned slightly and shook his head.

"Okay, don't say such things..."

"This kind of words have been heard, to you mother and son, to Shen Qi..."

The emperor patted Concubine Hui on the back lightly.

"It's all bad."
