Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 8 The biggest crisis
In today's world, it is called the Daye Dynasty. The founding emperor Chu Yin was born in Dingchuan Army Town, which is famous all over the world.

After Chu Yin ascended the throne, he made great efforts to govern, diligently governed and loved the people, but it was a pity that the destiny was not constant. 11 years ago, Chu Yin Bintian, posthumously named Emperor Wen, and his second son succeeded him, which is the current son-Chu Yang.

His majesty the emperor has been well-behaved and clever since he was a child, and he was deeply loved by the late emperor and empress, and it was because of this that he replaced the original eldest son and was canonized as the prince; however, after he ascended the throne, he suddenly changed his face. Debauchery, licentiousness and pleasure, even more militarism, brutality and bloodthirsty, everyone in the court is in danger.

The sergeants who were born in Dingchuan Army Town with Chu Yin were all promoted to rank because of their military exploits at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Now they are all high-ranking and powerful, and they have become a thorn in his side.

The first to bear the brunt was Yu Wenyuan, Duke of the Sheng Kingdom.

Therefore, upon hearing the news, Mrs. Yu immediately became nervous: "Didn't Duke Sheng just make great contributions in suppressing the rebellion in Longmen?"

Shen Shiyan said: "That's why it's so strange. Although the emperor has been suspicious of Sheng Guogong for a long time, but this time, Sheng Guogong has made great achievements after all, and he should be rewarded according to his merits. But for some reason, not only did he not reward him, but he was almost lost. killed."

"Then what did he do to make the emperor so angry?"

"Duke Sheng came to Luoyang this time, apart from reporting the Longmen War, he was also related to our family... It must not be because of this."

Shang Ruyi was folding clothes aside, when she heard this, she raised her head and glanced at them.

Yu Shi said, "Not at all."

Shen Shiyan thought for a while, then smiled and said, "I was worrying too much."

"What then?"

"Fortunately, the people on the left and right tried their best to dissuade them, and with the help of Dong Biqin and others, this matter was finally wiped out."

Yu Shi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head to look at Shang Ruyi again, and said worriedly: "Mr. Sheng Guo is now a thorn in the emperor's eyes. Let's marry Ruyi, will—"

Shang Ruyi folded the last piece of clothes, raised her head and said with a smile, "Auntie doesn't have to worry about Ruyi. If you say you are worried, Ruyi is actually more worried about uncle."

Shen Shiyan was a little surprised: "Are you worried about me?"

Shang Ruyi said seriously: "Although Sheng Guogong is suspected by His Majesty, after all, he holds a large army and leads the army all year round, so His Majesty still has scruples about him; but my uncle is in the court, and any small matter is under the emperor's responsibility. under the nose."

"..."

"Now, my uncle is married to the Yuwen family because of me. Your Majesty is jealous of Sheng Guogong, and I'm afraid he will focus on uncle."

"..."

"This is the biggest crisis facing my uncle."

"...!"

Shen Shiyan looked at Shang Ruyi in surprise.

Although his niece was extremely intelligent, she had a calm temperament and kept her mouth shut. This was the first time he heard so many words from her, and it was an analysis of the government.

Shen Shiyan said, "You—"

Yu said anxiously: "That's really the case. Master, what should you do then?"

Shang Ruyi said: "From Ruyi's point of view, my uncle's health is not good. Why don't you find an opportunity to retire and return home, leaving the court, a place where right and wrong are disputed, so that you can take care of yourself for the rest of your life."

Yu Shi immediately said: "That's right, I have advised him a long time ago, don't keep thinking about being loyal to the emperor and patriotism, living a good life is serious."

Shen Shiyan looked at Shang Ruyi silently, and Shang Ruyi seemed to have noticed his uncle's probing eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head.

After a while, Shen Shiyan said, "Let me think about this matter again."

"Yes."

After Shang Ruyi packed her things, she got up and left their room.

Shen Shiyan sat in the chair in silence for a long time, looked back at his wife, and asked, "Do you feel that after the Ruyi illness, it has become a little strange."
