Dressed as a vicious stepmother, farming and raising cubs

"The common people will first thank the Lord for his kindness and settle the case for my parents."

After hearing these words, the emperor's expression softened a lot and he nodded with satisfaction.

"Zhao Yong is a treacherous and cunning man. I have ordered him to be executed by Queen Qiu. I believe that the Marquis of Ding'an knew what he was doing under the spring, so he should rest in peace."

His words were like a thorn, piercing deeply into their hearts.

Why can so many lives and blood be brushed off in such an understatement? Even just executing one person can offset everything before.

However, on the surface, they cannot show any dissatisfaction.

Shen Luochen forced himself to endure the anger in his heart, and even showed a smile:

"Yes, I have told this matter in front of my parents' memorial tablets. I believe they will also be grateful to the Holy Spirit."

Su Liu noticed that veins had popped up on his forehead, wondering how depressed he felt inside.

"Yes, you are a grateful person." The emperor looked at him condescendingly, his eyes narrowed into a thin line, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

"The common people are able to survive in this world now, and they must be grateful to the Holy Spirit for their magnanimity. Naturally, they will remember this kindness."

Shen Luochen took the opportunity to express his loyalty again, and the smile on his face became deeper and deeper.

But Su Liu could see that he was forcing himself to say these words, just to win temporary trust.

The emperor laughed loudly, and his smile seemed to be somewhat mocking.

He originally thought that Shen Luochen might be a hard nut to deal with, but when he saw it with his own eyes, it was nothing more than that.

"Since Marquis Ding'an is innocent, the identity of the heir apparent of the Marquis Mansion is still yours." The emperor smiled and said casually, "I will grant you the official position of Xuande Lang and give you a house in the capital. How about you staying?"

After finishing his words, Shen Luochen showed a look of surprise on his face and quickly bowed down again.

"I thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor was obviously very satisfied with this visit. He looked in a good mood and thoughtfully ordered the eunuch beside him to escort the two of them out of the palace.

Probably, he felt relieved because he was sure that Shen Luochen was not a threat.

After the two of them walked far away and said goodbye to the eunuch, Su Liucai finally couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked:

"What does Xuandelang mean? Does it have a high official position?"

Shen Luochen seemed to be tired of laughing just now, his face was expressionless, and he explained calmly:

"It's just an idle civil servant with almost no real power. The most he can receive is a little salary, which is used by many officials for retirement."

Su Liu was a little surprised. With Shen Luochen's skill and talent, it would be too humiliating to only hold a civilian position.

But she also understood that this was inevitable, because the emperor was still wary of him and could not give him an official position that was too important.

The two of them walked around the palace wall. There were many exotic flowers and plants planted in the imperial garden, which was very novel to see.

"When I came here last time, I was still young. I didn't expect that this place hasn't changed much." Shen Luochen sighed, and his thoughts seemed to go back to many years ago.

Su Liu is more of a novelty, looking at this and that.

Suddenly, the two heard the sound of reading from behind the flowers not far away:

"The state has four dimensions. If the first dimension is eliminated, it will collapse; if the second dimension is eliminated, it will be in danger; if the third dimension is eliminated, it will be overturned; if the fourth dimension is eliminated, it will be destroyed..."

The man read very carefully, word for word, as if he wanted to thoroughly understand the contents of the book.

"Is he reading "Guanzi"?" Su Liu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the content of the book.

This section talks about the way to engage in politics. Are those who read this book interested in this way?

The two of them approached the direction of the source of the sound and looked through the gaps in the flowers. They saw a tall and tall young man standing by the flower bed, holding a yellowed book in his hands and reading attentively. . He looks about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a bit of childishness between his brows, but his overall temperament is very mature.

"This person is...the seventh prince?" Shen Luochen said with a look of surprise on his face and lowered his voice.

"It's actually a prince?" Su Liu was a little surprised.

She had already met the arrogant and foolish emperor, but she did not expect that his children were so hardworking and diligent.

"I'm not sure, but judging from the facial features, it should be right." Shen Luochen explained.

"Why is there no one following him?" Su Liu suddenly felt that something was wrong. Generally speaking, shouldn't these princes and princesses have palace attendants around them?

Shen Luochen frowned, held his chin and thought about it for a moment, then suddenly realized:

"I remembered that his mother-in-law was a palace maid and died the year he was born, so he has never been taken seriously."

Su Liu nodded understandingly, he turned out to be an unfavored and down-and-out prince.

However, if you look closely at this person's figure and temperament, you can see that he is very outstanding, and he seems to have an innate majesty.

Suddenly, the seventh prince seemed to hear the movement on their side, looked over alertly, and said coldly:

"who?"

Su Liu was frightened by these words and looked at Shen Luochen without knowing what she was doing. Shen Luochen made a calm gesture to her, then pulled her and walked out openly.

"We have met His Highness the Seventh Prince." He bowed respectfully to the Seventh Prince.

"Who are you?" The seventh prince frowned, obviously not impressed by the sudden appearance of the minister.

"Weichen is the newly appointed Xuande Lang today, and he is also the son of the former Marquis of Ding'an." Shen Luochen explained carefully, with a very calm look on his face.

"Marquis Ding'an..." the seventh prince repeated thoughtfully, and then suddenly realized, "It's the case that was just vindicated recently, no wonder."

Hearing this, Shen Luochen smiled slightly and asked:

"The seventh prince is very concerned about political affairs?"

The seventh prince's expression changed, and he looked at him with some vigilance, but he was still polite on the surface.

"Master Shen was joking. Everyone in the previous court knew about this."

However, his evasive attitude made Shen Luochen and Su Liu even more suspicious.

A little transparent prince who was not favored was studying hard in secret. If he said he was not planning anything, no one would believe him.

Su Liu suddenly smiled and asked:

"I just heard His Highness the Seventh Prince mention the chapter "Herdsmen". I wonder what His Highness has to say?"

The seventh prince fell into deep thought, thinking, and said:

"Government thrives by obeying the people's will; government fails by going against the people's will. Therefore, conquering the people's will is the foundation of politics."

He spoke clearly and logically, with firmness written all over his youthful face.

After the words fell, Su Liu and Shen Luochen both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Unexpectedly, this person could already have such insight at such a young age. He was indeed much better than his father.

A meaningful smile appeared on Shen Luochen's face, and he sighed in a low voice:

"It is a great blessing for the country that His Highness Seventh Prince has such foresight."
