Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 336 Your Majesty, I feel that everything is fine

  Dawn of the next day, fine snow fell, and the earth was still shrouded in ice cold.

   Shen Ao was wearing a coir raincoat, a bamboo hat, and a bag on his back, ready to go.

  In the baggage, except for a change of clothes, there are almost no personal items. They are all gifts for the "friends" in Xishan.

  With reluctance to leave home and longing for Xishan in his heart, he looked at himself as a father with two temples.

  In the past, he didn't feel that his father was getting old, but now, when he looked at his father, he looked old.

  He hoped that when he arrived in Xishan, he would take out his gift, look at the happy smile of the little tiger, and see Zhang Sanba's happy face, and hoped that his medicine could make Zhang's mother get better as soon as possible!

  However, he stared at his father, and his father straightened his waist pretending to be in a posture, and his feet seemed to be heavy, making it difficult to step out.

   "Go, go, don't be late. There must be rules in the academy. Don't break the rules. Otherwise, even if you are a father in front of Uncle Xinjian, even if you have some face, it will embarrass him."

  Shen Ao said in his heart, the people who are full of the capital have never seen anyone who has face with Uncle Xinjian, and his father really thinks too much.

  In his memory, he saw Fang Jifan grabbing the prince's skirt and pouring a snowball into the prince's skirt, which made the prince jump up and down like a monkey in the cold.

   But Shen Ao didn't think it was funny, he felt that in the past two days, there had been a lot of tears, so he took a deep breath, knelt in the snow, and said with reluctance: "Father, son, let's go!"

  Shen Wen turned his head away, looked sideways, not wanting his son to see his embarrassed appearance, and said in his mouth: "Go, let you go, study hard, and listen to His Royal Highness and Uncle Xinjian."

   "Yes." Shen Ao stood up, carrying his luggage, and finally resolutely walked towards the depths of the snow flakes, and gradually disappeared in the white mist.

  Shen Wen still stared straight at the blurred snow fog, speechless.

   Mrs. Zhang on the side scolded: "Don't let him take a sedan chair. You see, such a heavy snow will freeze to death. This child is born with..."

   "Shut up!" Shen Wen yelled sharply: "The son was spoiled by you in the past, and he was almost destroyed by your hands. If you keep babbling, you will be divorced sooner or later!"

  Ms. Zhang raised her eyebrows, completely annoyed, and stared at Shen Wen viciously.

  Shen Wen was silent for a long time, the dignified look on his face gradually disappeared, and he slowly put on a smiling face and said: "Madam, it's snowing heavily, go back and rest."

  ...

  The rest of the bath is over.

  Shen Wen happily returned to the Hanlin Academy. He is a bachelor and has a separate public house.

Today, Hanlin sent a note from the palace, Shen Wen was very excited, holding a teacup, and said with a smile: "Zizhong, you are exhausted, come, come, sit, you young people, should you sit down?" Eat more bitterness, um..."

  The young Hanlin named Zizhong leaned forward and sat down, looking flattered.

  Shen Wen stroked his beard and said: "The old man also has a son, who is younger than you."

  Zizhong exclaimed: "Really? I haven't heard Xueshi Shen mention it before."

  The smile on Shen Wen's face obviously didn't fade for a long time, and he said: "I'm usually in the courtyard. This is where the imperial court's official office is. It's only about business, so how can I talk about my children's private affairs? Hmm, that's it...you go."

   This feeling is very good.

  At least... I can finally let others know that I have a son.

  If it was the former Shen Ao, to be honest, Shen Wen was really afraid of mentioning it, and if people knew about it, he felt really unbearable.

  It’s different now. My son is still handsome and looks like an old man. He is studying in Xishan Academy, so he is afraid that he will have no future in the future?

  Can't help humming happily, pick up the palace note and look at it.

  At this time, there was someone outside who was panting, with small steps coming from far to near, and an **** came in and said, "Scholar Shen, Your Majesty has summoned you."

  Shen Wen suppressed his smile all of a sudden, and raised his wing cap: "Let's go."

  ...

   At this time, in the warm pavilion, Emperor Hongzhi seemed restless.

  Yesterday Muxiu, the academy was on vacation, I thought that Nizi would go to Kunning Palace, he didn't bother to call this little **** here, just waited for him to fall into the trap.

  But who knew that when it got dark, there was still no trace.

  Emperor Hongzhi was angry, and he hadn't seen him for more than a month. What the **** was he doing?

   From anger to anger, Emperor Hongzhi still misses him somewhat.

   After all, there is only such a son.

  All hopes are pinned on him.

  In Emperor Hongzhi's view, he actually regarded Zhu Houzhao as his continuation.

  I can work harder, this is actually to share the prince's future worries.

  I can take care of myself, but let the prince worry less in the future.

  I work day and night, for whom? Is it really for the ancestors? Maybe a little bit, but the ancestors are in the sky, illusory, too far away, unreachable!

  Son, but real.

   So there was no news for more than a month. While anxious and angry, I couldn't help but start to miss it.

  Emperor Hongzhi could also feel that because Empress Zhang couldn't see the loss of her son, let alone his first wife, or his daughter Xiurong, she was also fascinated and kept looking forward to it.

  Hey, so many people worry about him, what a little beast!

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help cursing again, he didn't bother to talk to him anymore, let him die!

  If you have the ability, don’t come to the palace, Daming, don’t you have other clans?

  He cursed in his heart for a while, but after arriving in the warm pavilion, he discussed matters with Liu Jian and others. Halfway through, he finally couldn't help it, and said to Xiao Jing, "Where is Xue Xueren?"

  Xiao Jingdao: "I'm afraid it's in the Imperial Academy."

  Emperor Hongzhi paused for a moment, then said: "Please come here, I have something to ask him."

  Xiao Jing understood, and hurriedly ordered someone to invite someone.

  Liu Jian and the others seemed to see His Majesty's uneasiness, but they didn't show any signs of it.

  Finally, Shen Wen arrived. Shen Wen didn't know why His Majesty had summoned him, so he entered the Nuan Pavilion and saluted, "I...have seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

  Emperor Hongzhi took a look at Shen Wen, a little embarrassed, so he said: "A few days ago, why is there no news about the biography of the martyr who ordered the Imperial Academy to write?"

  The Hanlin Academy is responsible for not only entering the palace to wait for edicts, archiving, and compiling history, but also responsible for some book revision duties. For example, the biography of martyrs needs to be rewritten! In order to encourage women to stay chaste, the Imperial Academy needs to collect the deeds of martyrs from all over the country, polish them, compile them into manuscripts, and publish them all over the world.

   Shen Wen didn't pay much attention to this matter. He had no interest in martyrs, and only told the Museum of Literature and History to be responsible for compiling it, but he didn't expect His Majesty to pay so much attention to it!

  He said solemnly: "I will explain it to you, and I will go to His Majesty Chen in a few days. Please read it."

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded his head and said: "This is a very important matter, and you must not take it lightly. Well, it's nothing, so you can leave now."

   "..."

   He was specially asked to come here just for the biography of a martyr?

   It is common practice for a martyr to be passed on to the official cultivator. Is it really so important?

   Shen Wen was confused and was about to leave.

  Emperor Hongzhi suddenly said lightly: "Oh, there is one more small matter."

  Shen Wen hurriedly said: "I wonder if Your Majesty has any other orders?"

  Emperor Hongzhi still had an indifferent look on his face, and said calmly: "Your son, is his name Shen Ao? He came back from taking a rest at Xishan Academy yesterday?"

  When Shen Wen heard the word Shen Ao, his face turned red immediately.

   is excited.

  So he immediately bowed down and said: "I'm back, I just sent you off early this morning."

  Emperor Hongzhi looked around at Liu Jian and the others, and then said with a smile: "I think I learned a little knowledge."

  When he asked this sentence, Emperor Hongzhi was actually complaining in his heart, learning a fart of knowledge, this rebellious son, I am afraid he is misleading his children. "

  Shen Wen was taken aback for a moment, and then understood. He almost forgot that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was teaching in Xishan.

  It turns out... After such a big circle, the biography of the martyr girl is false, but the question about Xishan College is the truth.

   "Your Majesty... the minister is about to speak!" He said in a loud voice.

  But the sudden high decibels almost didn't startle Emperor Hongzhi.

  Liu Jian and everyone were also full of curiosity, and wanted to know what happened to Shen Ao.

"Speaking of which, I am ashamed, Your Majesty, I used to be rebellious and ridiculous. I went to Xishan Academy a month ago, and I didn't have much hope. I just wanted to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. But the subject came back yesterday...with a new look..."

   When talking about a new look, Shen Wen's voice trembled.

  The body trembled, and then he was full of dragon spirit and fierce tiger, and his eyes were like lightning! Shen Wen, who was always trembling in front of the imperial court, seemed to be ten years younger all of a sudden.

"Ok?"

  Renewed, is that a good word?

  Emperor Hongzhi speculated in his heart, listening, it seemed like an ominous sign.

   But his control is very good, with a smile on his face, he suppressed the worries in his heart, and said calmly: "The Qing family has nothing to say."

   "Oh, come and sit down for Shen Qing's family and serve tea. Don't worry, just speak slowly."

   Then an **** moved Shen Wen to Jindun.

  Shen Wen was not too polite, and sat down with a bow, waiting for someone to serve tea, holding the teacup!

  Full of energy, Shen Wendao: "The minister walked back early yesterday morning, a distance of more than ten miles, and he was still carrying a burden, so he just walked back."

   "..." Emperor Hongzhi was stunned, with a look of surprise on his face.

   Walk?

  Emperor Hongzhi has been to Xishan, so he naturally knows that the journey is far enough.

   At this time, Shen Wen continued: "I used to be weak, but I came back yesterday, but I can't even breathe. The whole person is just two words, spirit!"

  When it came to the word spirit, Shen Wen wished to bring the former Shen Ao and the present Shen Ao to the emperor to see for himself, to see the difference between Shen Ao who looked like two different people.

Speaking of this, Shen Wen couldn't contain his emotions a little bit, and the corners of his eyes began to burst into tears again: "When he saw the minister, he began to bow and salute... Hey, Your Majesty, you don't know, that brat in the past was very naughty. , heartless, ever since he grew up, I have not seen him salute solemnly for many years."
