The black-bellied lord, the first wife is mighty!

"Come on, let's drive to the Palace of Compassion and Peace. I want to personally dedicate this scar spirit to my mother, the empress dowager, to make her mother and empress dowager happy!" An Junyi left his seat and stood up, with indescribable excitement and excitement. Thick joy.

Shen Jie hastily knelt down again and said, "Resign!"

An Junyi hurriedly said: "What are you doing? Where do you want to go? Let me take a trip to the Palace of Compassion and Peace!" Shen Jie quickly responded respectfully: "My minister obeys the order!" Jie Zhen asked.

An Junyi was overjoyed, he strode out of the palace, instead of sitting in the imperial chariot, he simply walked away.I was so excited in my heart, I just walked around to calm down the surging madness in my heart.

Scar Spirit!How many years has the queen mother thought about it?The 35-year-old Empress Dowager is actually an alluring beauty.However, at a palace banquet ten years ago, he was accidentally injured by fireworks, leaving a scar the size of a copper coin on his right cheek.Although it is harmless, painting a plum blossom on the scar can also cover it up, so she is not regarded as an ugly woman.

But, no matter what, this is also a pity, and it is a permanent pain in the heart of the Queen Mother. She dreams of the day when her appearance can be restored!Now, he has Scar Spirit in his hand. If he helps the Empress Dowager restore her appearance, the Empress Dowager will definitely repay her kindness and help him suppress all forces and stabilize this crumbling country!

The queen mother is not An Junyi's biological mother, she has no son in her life, only two daughters.An Junyi's biological mother was only the first emperor's concubine, and his concubine's mother gave birth to three sons and two daughters.The empress dowager is the queen of the first emperor's palace, referred to as the empress dowager Roushan;

The eldest sister An Jing has been missing for nearly 20 years, and her life and death are still unknown. In the spring 19 years ago, on a rainy day, the brothers and sisters were chased and killed on the way to their grandmother’s house.More than ten years have passed, and his heart aches when he thinks that his eldest sister may have encountered an accident.

A year ago, the former emperor passed away suddenly, before he had time to establish a crown prince, which triggered a big change, and the princes and princes fought against each other.It was the noble concubine De Concubine's mother who joined forces with the Queen Mother to suppress all forces, and thus helped An Junyi win the throne.In other words, when An Junyi took the throne, he was not the heir apparent.Without the powerful power behind the empress dowager, not only would An Junyi not be able to be the emperor, but he, his mother, and several brothers and sisters would have been wiped out by the imperial concubine and her son at that time!

Now that An Junyi wanted to stabilize his country, he still couldn't do without the strong support of the queen mother, and also couldn't do without the support of the powerful mother clan of the queen mother.So since he became the throne, he has never dared to disobey the Queen Mother, and he has to find ways to please his mother, the Queen Mother, and is more considerate and thoughtful than his own biological mother, the Queen Mother.The right minister, Jia Zhongliang, is the queen mother's cousin, and can be said to be an influence of the queen mother's family!

Shen Jie was one step behind An Junyi and followed behind him.From the looks of outsiders, there seems to be no difference between the monarch and his subjects as in the past.Only Shen Jie knew that there was an invisible gap between him and the Holy One.For this reason, he was a little more cautious in front of His Majesty.

Hey, accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger!

Myolie was worried, it was not superfluous!Back then, why her mother was living in the mountains, why she lost her memory, this is an insoluble mystery!If it has nothing to do with the Holy Majesty, then it's okay to say, if it is caused by the Holy Majesty, then speaking out will undoubtedly become a fatal move!

Also, for the things written in Xing'er's notebook, I can only choose a few to listen to.As for Chinese Pinyin, Arabic numerals and that kind of English, it is better not to tell the Holy Majesty for the time being, and use it as a secret weapon in his own hands!

Xing'er is smart and wise, her proposal is very reasonable, within a year and a half, until the end of the war, it's better to keep a low profile!Among other things, at the very least, the Empress Dowager Rou Shan and Jia Zhongliang must be dragged down.These two people and the forces behind them, at present, have some effect on the stability of the court, but at the same time, they will also be the biggest cancer in Anlan Country!

The Empress Dowager Roushan is arrogant and indulgent, interfering in government affairs; Jia Zhongliang is vicious and has a heart of disobedience.Moreover, according to the news from Shenji Camp, the relationship between the Empress Dowager Roushan and Jia Zhongliang is ambiguous.Jia Zhongliang is ambitious, what he wants is definitely more than the position of a right minister!If the proper measures are not taken, it is unknown whether this country will be named Jia in the long run!

However, the emperor does not seem to be clearly aware of this.

Shen Jie shook his head, and silently followed behind. The emperor's enthusiastic appearance made him very depressed.When they came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, after exchanging greetings, laughing and sighing, the Empress Dowager Roushan's eyes fell on Shen Jie: "Hey, this is the hero who went deep into the ice volcano and obtained the vermilion fruit. He will be rewarded a lot!"

The Empress Dowager Roushan rewarded Shen Jie with countless gold, silver and jewels, as well as a hundred hectares of fertile land, and quietly transferred most of the "credit for the emperor's offering of elixir" to Shen Jie.This is "kill three birds with one stone", firstly to minimize the kindness that the emperor gave her in return; secondly, to alienate this pair of monarchs and ministers, the emperor will definitely have suspicions against Shen Jie in his heart, and become increasingly alienated from Shen Jie; thirdly, If the emperor alienates Shen Jie, he will definitely get closer to Jia Zhongliang and use Jia Zhongliang more, so that she can hold the emperor better in the future.

It has to be said that the Empress Dowager Roushan has fought in the court for 20 years, but she is not a vegetarian.Her move really had the desired effect.Seeing a large amount of gold, silver and jewels being moved out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning and sent to Duke Zhen's mansion, His Majesty's face became more and more ugly.In the end, he left the Compassionate Ning Palace without saying goodbye to Shen Jie.

Shen Jie followed behind the flowing reward, only shaking his head and smiling wryly, with a very heavy heart.As soon as he returned to Duke Zhen's mansion, Shen Jie went to find his father, Duke Zhen, and shut him in a secret room to discuss important matters.He told his father what he had seen and heard in the palace, as well as his worries about the emperor and the court, and also about his experience of going to the ice volcano, and what Xing'er did for him during those days when he lived in Tao Ranju.

There are almost no secrets between him and his father.Father, is a good father and a good husband.The father had no concubine, only a maid who was the housekeeper, and the housemate also gave birth to only one daughter.Father and mother had three sons and three daughters.The two younger brothers are only five years old this year, they are twins, Yuxue is cute, well-behaved and sensible, and they have a very deep relationship with Shen Jie.

The two younger brothers are so young that they can't pose a threat to Shen Jie, so he has maintained a close relationship with his parents for more than ten years.It is not because of his brother that there is any grievance between him and his parents.The elder sister and the two younger sisters also have a good relationship with him. As for the other concubine, she is already married and has no threat to the family.The Tongfang girl who gave birth to a concubine was the result of having sex with her father 20 years ago when her mother was pregnant with her eldest sister.Afterwards, the father hardly favored that woman. Twenty years later, it is said that the number of times he had intercourse with that woman did not exceed twenty times.

It seems that they were all during the mother's pregnancy, or they were forced by the old lady (for example, locked the two in the room and drugged Shen Han), or they were seduced by the woman (Prescribing medicine to Shen Han, or stripping naked in front of Shen Han after he was drunk or drunk, Shen Han, who is full of blood, is naturally hard to resist).So far, that woman is still a maid, not even a concubine.

Speaking of which, if there is no old lady "this piece of mouse shit" (this is Xinger's words), the town government's mansion will be very warm and harmonious.In spite of Shen Han's objection, the old lady insisted on living in the Duke of Zhen's mansion, and she also insisted that Erye Shen (that is, the younger brother of the Duke of Zhen and the father of the empress) and his family also live in the mansion of the Duke of Zhen. The mansion was a mess.If it weren't for Mrs. Shen's (Shen Jie's mother)'s natal family, which was also very powerful, the position of the head mistress of the Duke of Zhen's mansion would probably be taken away by the second lady!

Second uncle's family, why can you be so arrogant?Old lady, why are you so partial to the second and third uncle's family?What's more, that mind is so biased!What Shen Jie felt was that the old lady didn't have any sincerity towards Dafang's family, and the care and love she showed for Dafang's family showed a very weird and awkward feeling.

Shen Jie was puzzled by these questions, and today he had to get the exact answer from his father!After talking about his life in Taoranju, he asked straight to the point: "Father, next, my son has a shocking secret that I want to tell my father. Before I tell him, I hope my father will answer my son's question and not hide anything. Otherwise, that secret child would not dare to tell Daddy!"

Shen Han pondered for a moment, and guessed a little bit about the question his son wanted to ask. After a moment of contemplation, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, tell me! Father must know everything and say everything!" He and his son Between, the only secret is that one.

Sure enough, the son asked: "I want to know if the old lady is my grandmother, second uncle, third uncle, forty uncle, fourth uncle, and eldest aunt, second aunt, and third aunt, and whether my father and mother are brothers and sisters." ?”

"No, the old lady is your grandpa's stepmother. When I was five years old, your grandma passed away in childbirth. The child that was born back then was your eldest aunt! Your grandma is only me and your eldest aunt Two children, and the rest are born here now. Moreover, there are signs that the reason why your grandma is in trouble has a lot to do with this old lady! It’s just that there is no conclusive evidence, otherwise How could she be allowed to be domineering for so many years!"

Shen Han did not hide anything, and calmly revealed the truth to his son.He actually wanted to say these words to his son a long time ago.For so many years, seeing his son do everything he could to that vicious old lady, and being deceived by the old lady's hypocrisy, he felt very uncomfortable.

Shen Jie asked curiously: "Is the old lady the daughter of the butcher, or the daughter of King Jin?" She was said to be the daughter of King Jin (the old King Jin), but her behavior was very vulgar, which made Shen Jie unable to remember Xing'er's grandmother, the two are comparable.Even sometimes, Mrs. Shen seems to be more vulgar than Mrs. Jiang.

Jiang's mouth is a little sharper, but her movements and demeanor are relatively gentle.Where does she look like Mrs. Shen, with a vicious mouth and a loud voice, and her movements are also vulgar and savage, she looks a bit like a butcher.But, let's say she is the butcher's daughter, why would King Jin admit that she is her natal family?

The corners of Shen Han's mouth turned up, a mocking smile appeared in his eyes, he pursed his lips and said with a smile: "She was originally born by the old King Jin's outer room, but later that outer room was tired of by the old King Jin, so the outer room followed A butcher. At that time, she was still in the womb, so her mother took her to the butcher's house. Your grandfather was out on a mission that year, but unfortunately, he was hunted down by someone and fell on the side of the road with serious injuries. Saved by her."

Speaking of this, the smile on Shen Han's face disappeared, and his tone was very heavy: "Later, as a savior, she asked your grandfather to help her out of the fire pit (that is, the butcher's house). Seeing that she was pitiful, your grandfather asked her You took her back to the Shen family and treated her as your own sister. Your grandmother was a kind woman, and you thanked her for saving your grandfather, treating her like a real sister.

Unexpectedly, she coveted the position of the head of the Shen family's mistress, plotting against your grandmother, causing your grandmother to die in childbirth.Later, when your grandfather was sad and drunk, she drugged your grandfather and cooked rice with your grandfather.After waking up, she was dying, and there was no other way, your grandfather had no choice but to marry her as his second wife.After she became the mistress of the Shen family, people from the Jin Palace came to her and recognized her daughter! "

"Oh, that's how it is!" Shen Jie picked up the teacup, took a sip, and smiled like a flower on his face: "Very well, then I can rest assured! If that's the case, I can be more cruel to that emerald princess!" Now that This old lady is most likely the enemy who killed his own grandmother, so Princess Emerald is the enemy's natal family, so he doesn't have to be too polite to her!

Anyway, what kind of jade is not a good person.Not one hundred innocent people died at her hands, at least eighty!For such a vicious and arrogant woman, there is really no need to be too scruples, it's just regretting the marriage, there is really nothing to feel guilty about!

"Do you want to regret the marriage?" Shen Han was not surprised by his son's attitude at all. He also hated the emerald princess very much.He also didn't want to agree to this marriage, but he was forced by filial piety and didn't know his son's intentions very well, so he never stood up to express his opposition.Now, since his son's attitude is so firm, he has nothing to worry about.

Shen Jie nodded resolutely: "Yes, that is to say, Potian, I will not marry that emerald princess! The only person I want to marry is Xing'er! In other words, even if there is no Xing'er, I still want to divorce Whoever marries a woman like Princess Emerald will suffer a lifetime of bad luck!"

Shen Han was a little worried, so he asked: "That Xing'er, is she really that good? Didn't she say that she is just an orphan who lost her father? Besides, her mother is also an orphan, and she doesn't even have a family." The hope of the Shen family rests on this son, and the choice of daughter-in-law can't be too bad.

"Father, don't care about Xing'er's family background, I only know that she is a good person!" Shen Jie's attitude was very firm, and he was not very happy with what his father said.

Shen Han said with a smile: "How good you are, let's hear it."

"She is self-reliant, smart and kind, strong and courageous, has a very good character, ability and courage! These are not much better than those so-called noble girls! As for the Emerald Princess, she is almost as good as Xing'er. It's just a world of difference, I don't even have the qualifications to carry shoes with Xing'er!" Shen Jie said eloquently, and when he mentioned Xing'er, his smile became a little brighter, and his bright black eyes shone brightly.

Shen Han showed his face and smiled: "Okay, my father has always believed in your vision! If you have already recognized her, then cherish it and support you for my father!"

Seeing his father let go, Shen Jie was finally completely relieved, and finally decided to tell his father the whole secret of his heart.Even though he was in the secret room, he still lowered his voice and whispered to his father: "Father, just listen to what I'm going to say next, don't shout it out loud, and keep it a secret, never tell it out! Before my son thinks the time is ripe, don't say anything!"

Shen Han nodded and agreed: "Okay, I promise you, I will never make a fuss, and I will never reveal the secret! Everything is up to you!"

"Father, Xing'er's aunt, nine times out of ten, it is Princess Ruide, the eldest sister of the current Holy Majesty, and the daughter of the Empress Dowager Roujia!"

Shen Jie paused every word, and his voice was very low, but when it fell into Shen Han's ears, it was no less than a rolling spring thunder, which made him feel scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.Subconsciously, he almost yelled, remembering his son's warning, and quickly covered his mouth with his hands, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief!

After a while, Shen Han calmed down a little, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Rui, Princess Rhett? You mean, Princess Rhett who has been around for nearly 20 years?"

"Yes, that's right! My son has basically confirmed it!" Shen Jie nodded with certainty.

Shen Han said: "If that's the case, then report it to the Holy Majesty!"

"No! Xing'er said, now is not the time. Why was Princess Reid seriously injured and fell down in the mountains? Was it someone who chased her down, or was it murdered by the internal police? Before the cause is clarified, don't take it lightly. !” Shen Jie firmly objected with a serious face.

Shen Han was shocked: "You, you mean, maybe the Holy Majesty may not believe it?"

"Yes, that's right! I haven't seen you for a few months, and my son finds that the Holy One has changed a lot, which is really unpredictable. Moreover, now that the Empress Dowager Roushan and Jia Zhongliang are in charge of the government, it is really not a suitable opportunity!"

There was a glimmer of gloom in Shen Jie's eyes, after thinking about it, he decided to have no reservations about his father, and then said: "Besides, Xing'er has a master who is proficient in divination, and after a year and a half, there will be great Myolie said, let’s talk about it when the country is safe and the people are peaceful!”

"What? Zhan Luan?!" Shen Han gasped.

"Yes, that's right! There shouldn't be any falsehood in this matter. I think her master should be an outsider. Well, just like the Helan family of Binghuo, it is also a family that has been passed down for thousands of years. It is normal to have some strange abilities. Fortunately, my son learned some wonderful abilities from the eldest grandson of the patriarch of the Helan family. Therefore, my son believes that Master Xing'er can calculate a certain future event through divination. There should be no lies in these big events!"

Actually, Shen Jie is not a superstitious person.Rather than saying that he believes in Xing'er's master, it is better to say that he believes in Xing'er.She said that she had dreams for several nights in succession, all dreaming of the scenes she told the master. The most important thing is that she had such a dream before the master said those things.

All of this, using the secret technique taught to him by Helan Liuxi, after calculation, the result came out: Xing'er's words are not empty words!Coupled with his understanding of Xing'er, he knew that she would not joke about this kind of thing, so he believed it!

After a long silence, Shen Han sighed: "So, it's not a good time for my father's plan to retire?"

Shen Jie nodded solemnly: "Yes, father! In the event of turmoil, if you don't have military power in your hands, you may become the target of being suppressed and humiliated at will! Moreover, there will be big disasters in this country. Turmoil! Perhaps, it is unknown to change *dynasties* for *generations!”

"Starting tomorrow, we will vigorously cultivate the secret guards of our Shen family to prevent accidents! I will leave this matter to you! Don't meddle too much in the affairs of the court. When there is a suitable opportunity, delegate authority Let's go! My father is now the minister of the Ministry of War and the general of the town, as long as he seizes the current military power, he will not be afraid of disaster!"

There was a hint of determination in Shen Han's eyes, and he made a difficult decision.As soon as his son was promoted to the Marquis of Dingguo, he kept his son away from the court. Isn't it unfair to his son?

Unexpectedly, Shen Jie's eyes lit up, and he agreed very readily: "Alright, father's decision is very wise! Tomorrow, my son will enter the palace to ask the Holy Majesty, and hand in the letter of resignation! It just so happens that my son and Xing'er cooperated to start a business together." A few shops, in the name of doing business, traveled all over the country, recruiting talents, expanding wealth, and cultivating secret guards!"

"Okay, let's do it like this! As for your engagement with Princess Emerald, my father will handle it for you, so don't worry too much!" Shen Han looked at his son in a funny way, picked up the teacup, and took a sip comfortably .

snort!But it's the daughter of King Jin, don't you think my Shen family is so easy to bully?The old immortal (Ms. Shen), who dared to poison my mother and persecute my son, I want you, your mother, and your precious granddaughter (queen) to kneel in front of me, bitterly The day of supplication!

The marriage between Shen Jie and Princess Fei Cui was originally arranged by Mrs. Shen forcibly, without the consent of Mrs. Shen and Shen Han at all!And at that time, Shen Jie was only two years old and still a child who didn't understand anything.Old lady Shen's move is to hold the entire Shen family in her hands, so as to make good use of the wealth and connections of the Shen family to pave the way for her natal family!

King Jin, you have the heart of disobedience! .

After the father and son discussed it, they went back to their rooms and had a good night's sleep.

The next day, after the morning court, Shen Jie asked to see the Holy Majesty and handed in his resignation.

"Okay Shen Jie, tell me, how can I feel sorry for you?! Hmph! Isn't it just that I treat your cousin as well as Concubine Shu? As for handing in my resignation?!" An Junyi said loudly. Angry, with a "slap", he threw an inkstone on Shen Jie's forehead, and blood poured out immediately.

There was a sharp pain on his forehead, blood blurred his eyes, Shen Jie did not dare to reach out to wipe it, and quickly knelt down on the ground: "I don't dare, I don't care about the empress. I just don't care. I think it's time to retire, and I am the eldest grandson of the Shen family, and my father is loyal in the court, so there must be someone in the Shen family who will take charge of things, and it must be this minister! I also ask the Holy One to help me, I am very grateful! "

"I don't agree! You want to resign, but there's no way!" An Junyi was furious, and threw another teacup, which fell in front of Shen Jie.

At this moment, Empress Dowager Roushan's voice came from the door: "Your Majesty, you are a wise king. Since a subject wants to resign and serve the family, then let him be fulfilled! This Shen Daren is the court, and he is also a lord. You have put in a lot of effort, and you are a great hero! Now that you want to resign, you have to be an adult, and give the Ai family a face, so just agree!"

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in An Junyi's eyes, and it disappeared in a flash, and when he raised his head, he was already smiling: "What the mother empress dowager said is that the son will follow the mother's words, and let this kid take advantage of him, and allow him to resign! "

"Thank Your Majesty for your grace, and thank you for your empress dowager's grace!" After Shen Jie kowtowed to thank her, the queen mother waved her hand: "Go home, you will be at home in the future, and spend time with your mother!" Shen Jie bowed and retreated, and the eunuch led Seeing him with blurred vision coming outside the hall, he dared to take out his handkerchief and wipe away the blood from his eyes.His back was already dripping with cold sweat.

A companion is like a tiger!

After walking out of the palace gate, Shen Jie looked up at the palace with an extremely complicated expression!Logically speaking, if the Holy Majesty hadn't alienated him, doubted him, neglected him, and reused his favored ministers and rebels, in this extraordinary period, he should have been guarding His Majesty's side and dedicated himself to His Majesty!

It's just that in this world, there are no ifs!

I hope that after one and a half years, the Holy Majesty can learn a lesson and stay away from the traitors who annihilated the ministers.If necessary, he can still return to the court and contribute his strength to the country and the people!I hope that day, he can still wait!Today's resignation is actually a means of retreating to advance, it is to preserve one's own strength, so as to help the Holy One in the future!

---This is the update for today, the update that is owed, I will make it up another day, sorry.Dear friends, good night!Thank you friends who support Tian Jing in various forms!
