Chapter 1536 Go out for a walk

With the end of the Hongde Dynasty, the Jianlong Dynasty will gradually take shape. During this process, the first thing the new emperor will want to replace, or take control of, is the secret service agency.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already been replaced, and the rotation of the leadership of the Internal Guard is also a normal process.

What really made Shen Yi feel emotional was that some of the people he was familiar with at the beginning had gradually drifted away from the court.

Time passed quickly and it was April of the first year of Jianlong.

After several months, Emperor Jianlong had gradually adapted to the rhythm of the court, and many things should have been issued down.

As the emperor's throne became more stable, rumors began to circulate in the court, including that the emperor was planning to replace the prime minister with his own people.

However, there has been no definite news, and the matter has become a rumor.

At this time, Shen Ji, who had gone to the south, returned to the capital after traveling in the south. He came to his study to meet his father.

"Father, I have already gone to the ancestral temple and graves to pay my respects. My great-grandmaster and grandfather are staying at Ganquan Academy. Before I came back, I went to see them. My great-grandmaster has recovered a little and is living a comfortable life."

Shen Yi hummed, looked up at Shen Ji, and said with a smile: "Comparatively speaking, you are more calm and steady than your brother in doing things."

Shen Ji lowered his head slightly and said nothing.

Mr. Shen motioned him to sit down, then told him what the new emperor meant, and added: "His Majesty means that you should have something to do. Whether you go to the Ministry of Works or the Ministry of Public Relations, it's up to you."

Shen Ji lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked, "Dad, His Majesty asked our people to go to the Imperial Report Office. Was this a test of your intention?"

"If there is, my son won't go."

Master Shen smiled dumbly and said, "Probing? Testing your father for what?"

Shen Ji hesitated for a moment and whispered, "To test whether you... are willing to give up your power."

"You are so young, why do you think so much?"

Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said, "Remember, there is nothing to test about your father. The emperor...will not test his father."

Mr. Shen's reputation is so great that it overshadows the entire court.

Although he did not do what Huo Guang did, his status was actually similar to that of Huo Guang. As long as he was alive, he would have a very powerful say.

There is no need to test this point. Unless Emperor Jianlong is a fool, he will be respectful to his father-in-law as long as Master Shen is alive.

As for the future…

The Shen family has already established itself further north, and what happens in the future will be the story of the next generation.

Shen Ji lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "Then my son... go to the Imperial Report Department."

"I will take care of these twenty years of hard work for you."

Mr. Shen nodded silently and said with a smile: "Then it's settled."

He looked at Shen Ji and said, "In a few days, your father, your eldest mother, and your mother may have to go out. When that time comes, there will be no one in charge of the Yandu family. You can be the head of the family for a while."

Shen Ji was startled for a moment, then reacted and said happily: "Sister-in-law is about to give birth?"

Mr. Shen smiled and nodded, then said, "It just so happens that your grandmother and mother haven't been out for a walk for many years. I'll take them out for a walk."

Mr. Shen stood up and stretched. "For matters at home, discuss them with your Aunt Lian. For matters outside the home, you should make the decisions yourself. If you can't make the decisions, go to your Uncle Nine."

Shen Ji nodded and said, "Son, I understand."

Master Shen patted his shoulder and told him, "Rest at home for two days, then go to the palace to visit your sister. Your sister will arrange for you to meet Princess Ningguo."

Shen Ji thought about it and bowed his head again: "My son obeys your command."

"All right."

Mr. Shen sat back in his seat and said with a smile, "Go down and have a rest."

"Yes."

Shen Ji bowed and left.

Outside the door, Lu Ruoxi and Ye Chan were already waiting for him. After asking about his well-being for a long time, they let him leave.

Then the two women walked into Shen Yi's study together. Lu Ruoxi looked at Shen Yi with some expectation in her eyes: "Husband, will His Majesty let us leave the capital?"

Mr. Shen smiled and said, "I will go to the palace to discuss this matter this afternoon. Your Majesty may not be very willing."

"but…"

Mr. Shen stood up, took the hands of his two wives, and said with a smile, "You can't put us under house arrest in the capital, can you?"

"The weather is getting warmer now. You two ladies, come with me and travel for a year or so, and then we'll come back."

Ye Chan said softly: "The master is the regent minister."

"I am the regent and I don't attend court. I am just a figurehead."

Lord Shen stretched his body and said, "It's time for me to take a break."

…………

In the afternoon, in Ganlu Temple.

Emperor Jianlong stood up, looked at Shen Yi in front of him, and said, "Father-in-law, are you leaving Beijing and heading north?"

"Yes."

Shen Yi said, "Your Majesty, I am going here to see what Master Zhuli looks like now and to inspect the Liaodong border troops for Your Majesty."

"Secondly, my two grandchildren are about to be born, and I... want to go and see them."

"this…"

The emperor smiled bitterly and said, "Father-in-law, you are the assistant appointed by my father..."

"Your Majesty has already come of age."

Mr. Shen bowed and said, "So we are only assisting the government, not advising on the emperor's will. Your Majesty has gradually become familiar with the affairs of state in the past few months. In addition, several prime ministers are here, so it doesn't matter whether I am here or not."

He raised his head, looked at the emperor, and sighed, "Your Majesty, from the eighth year of Hongde until now, I have not had a good rest. Please treat it as a vacation for me and let me go out for a walk."

Emperor Jianlong was quite moved when he heard this. He walked down from his seat, came to Shen Yi, pulled Mr. Shen's sleeve, and sighed: "Father-in-law, you are not in Yanjing. I am afraid that if I do something wrong, no one dares to remind me..."

Lord Shen smiled and said, "Your Majesty can really let go and do what you want when I am not in Yanjing. Just remember to put the people first in everything you do, and you will never make mistakes."

Emperor Jianlong saw that he really couldn't stop Shen Yi, so he sighed and asked, "Could it be that I have done something wrong recently, so I let my father-in-law leave the capital, out of sight and out of mind?"

Shen Yi shook his head: "Your Majesty has done very well."

His Majesty the Emperor asked again, "When will my father-in-law come back?"

"Just turn around and come back."

"This time, I will just be here to patrol the border for Your Majesty."

Emperor Jianlong was silent for a moment, nodded in agreement, and said with a wry smile: "I am afraid that outsiders will think that I drove you, my father-in-law, out of the court after I took the throne."

Master Shen smiled and said, "No, that won't happen. I am also in charge of the border troops. It is normal for me to go out and inspect the border troops."

His Majesty the Emperor nodded silently.

He pulled Shen Yi to sit down and said, "Before my father passed away, he told me several times to treat my father-in-law well. If I did anything wrong, my father-in-law must tell me clearly."

Mr. Shen nodded and said with a smile: "Of course."

"When will my father-in-law leave?"

"In three days."

Shen Yi raised his head and looked outside, with some expectation in his eyes: "I am actually an impatient person. I have been in the court for a long time and I just feel uncomfortable all over."

"I always want to go out for a walk and have a look."

Emperor Jianlong said silently: "When the time comes, I will go and see my father-in-law off."

Master Shen quickly shook his head: "No, no, how can I trouble Your Majesty?"

Emperor Jianlong said with a firm look: "I will definitely go."

While the father-in-law and the son-in-law were talking, a purple-robed eunuch hurried in, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, great joy!"

The emperor frowned: "What's the matter? Why are you barging in like this without knowing the rules?"

"The Queen has been feeling unwell these past few days, and the Imperial Physician just came over to take her pulse..."

"Happy pulse!"

"Your Majesty, the Queen is pregnant."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jianlong was also overjoyed. He turned around and pulled Shen Yi's sleeve, expressing his surprise and joy: "Father-in-law, Sangsang is pregnant!"

It was obvious that he had just heard the news and was definitely not faking it.

There is no way to fake this kind of thing, after all, the person involved is Shen Yi's biological daughter.

Mr. Shen looked at him, then looked outside, and spoke slowly.

"Before Sangsang gave birth..."

"I will definitely come back."
