Shen Langgui

Beidu Imperial Palace, the pinnacle of power that all beings yearn for, but Shen Yue walked in it for more than a month, only to feel that the scenery here is the same, and the difference between the palaces and pavilions is only in the writing on the plaque.The palace maids and eunuchs have a solemn face, the silence of the people in the Nuo Da Palace, and the crazy private strife under the surface, all aspects make people feel very depressed, strange that the first emperor let go rashly.

However, Shen Yue only passed these eccentric and absurd thoughts in his heart, and his face was still downcast, following behind the leading eunuch.

"Eunuch Xiantao, didn't you go to the Palace of Qinzheng this time?" Zi Chong noticed that the walking path was different from before, and asked aloud.

"Yes, the emperor is waiting to meet the two adults in Changchun Garden." While speaking, Xian Tao turned her face back and smiled amicably.

Zi Chong and Shen Yue nodded in agreement, and looked at each other for the last time, both of them felt strange.

After all, Changchun Garden is located in the inner hall, which is a place for emperors, queens and concubines to relax.

However, in the scenery of February, spring is already sprouting in the garden, the branches and tips are beginning to appear green, and peaches and plums are competing to spit out their pistils. During this period, there are a few children's laughter, which is a lively and lively spring scene in the Northland.

"uncle!"

Shen Yue turned around in a hurry, and saw a young child pounced towards him.Shen Yue was pleasantly surprised, and immediately squatted down, letting the baby jump into his arms.

"Oh, Dabao, uncle finally saw you..."

Before Shen Yue could say a word, a smaller bright yellow meat doll popped out from behind the tree, and shouted: "Uncle, uncle, what about me!" A few happy "uncle", chirping, sounded like The birds 'tweeted'.

"Oh, the second treasure is getting taller, come on, give uncle a hug too." Shen Yue stood up and hugged the child taller.

The two dolls were so cute, so cute that even Zi Chong forgot about the meeting for a while, and stepped forward to squeeze the little hands of the children.

"Big brother!"

Shen Yue tilted his head, and saw his younger sister caressing her chubby belly, with the support of the emperor, walking slowly along the path under the tree.Shen Yue hurriedly put down the child, and knelt down with Zi Chong to greet:

"See Your Majesty! See Concubine Shen!"

"My family, you don't need to be too polite." Hearing this, Xian Tao stepped forward to help Zi Chong and Shen Yue, and the group followed the emperor and concubine into an open pavilion in the garden.

"Let's all sit down." Emperor Cheng was dressed in a round suit today, his behavior was casual, and his speech was even more friendly, as if he had returned to the old days of marching in a trance.

Then the harem served tea, even if the emperor and concubine were present, Shen Yue couldn't be serious at the moment—the two bear children stuck to his uncle like octopus, the younger one sat on his lap and kept wanting to kiss each other, and the older one just lay on his stomach Shen Yue rode his uncle on his back as a horse.

Although Shen Yaoqing was pregnant, she didn't see half of the swelling and delay of a pregnant woman, and her eyes were still shining.But compared to the wayward girls in the past, the love of being a wife and mother now has a new level of peace and composure. Seeing Shen Yue who was laughing and arguing with the child, Shen Yue felt relieved and at the same time couldn't help sighing: "Now Second brother and I, each family is perfect, big brother, don't you also..." For the rest of the words, Shen Yaoqing hesitated to speak, as if he was afraid of touching the listener's scruples.

After hesitating for a while, Shen Yue didn't respond, and Shen Yaoqing said again: "I know that my elder brother misses the past, but I still can't let go of my sister-in-law, Shutong and Nianyu. But the three of them are spirits in the sky, how can they bear to see you alone."

Shen Yue seemed to have anticipated what his sister would say, and considering the presence of the emperor, it would be inconvenient for him to have a fit, so he raised his eyebrows slightly.Casually said: "What the imperial concubine said is very true, the minister accepts the words."

The emotion was blocked by Shen Yue's polite rhetoric, and Zi Chong changed the subject in a timely manner: "I don't know why the emperor and his ministers came here?"

Children are innocent and sincere, regardless of the occasion, they only want to play with those close to them. At this moment, Da Bao actually picked up his uncle's cheek, causing Shen Yue, who was usually dark and sullen, to grin at the crescent moon. The emperor looked sideways and couldn't help but gasp smile.

Shen Yaoqing lowered her face: "Dabao!"

The doll immediately withdrew her hand, retreated behind her uncle, and finally peeked out a pair of big, shrinking eyes from the side of his uncle's neck.

"The children are here. It's inconvenient to talk. Let me take them away. Erbao, come." Said, Shen Yaoqing got up and waved to the little baby.

When Er Bao heard this, instead of getting up, he leaned against Shen Yue's shoulder and muttered, "I haven't seen my uncle for a long time. I won't go with mother. I want to sleep with my uncle. Uncle can tell me stories~" said Forget it, two chubby hands slapped his brother's head away, wrapping around Shen Yue's neck.

It was just now that Emperor Cheng, who had always been taciturn, spoke, but he was full of amiability, and said in a gentle voice: "It's rare for the children to see their relatives, so let them stay."

"Give it up, you've spoiled me!" Shen Yao said angrily despite the fact that the minister was present.

Shen Yao clearly slandered the emperor, but it seemed that Zi Chong and Shen Yue were the ones who slandered him, but the two of them tacitly said goodbye and pretended to be empty.

"Okay, it's my fault, Madam, don't be angry." The emperor seemed to be used to it, he quickly got up and helped his wife to sit down, and tried to persuade her.

After seeing their mother's anger, the two babies restrained themselves a lot, and just obediently stuck to their uncle.

After sitting down with the help of Yaoqing, the emperor said: "You two are my arms to govern the world. I invite you to come here today. There are actually two things to discuss. I just said that the prisoner in Jizhou mentioned by the court just now is light. ..." At this point, Emperor Cheng frowned and looked sad.

"I would like to hear the details." Zi Chong bowed.

"Since last year, the long-suffering war has reappeared. Since I ascended the throne, the harassment has become more frequent. Usually, Sun Bijiang is sent away, and the trouble will be calmed down soon, but the battle situation reported from the front recently..." Emperor Cheng shook his head.

"Your Majesty suspects...someone is cooperating with captives?" Zi Chong asked tentatively.

Chengdi didn't answer, just nodded slightly.

Zi Chong's expression suddenly became solemn.

Only Shen Yue couldn't see the waves, so Emperor Cheng asked: "Shen Qing, what do you think?"

"The snake hits seven inches. This time, Pinglu will not only rely on external warfare, but also internally." Shen Yue has thick shoulders and firm arms, and the second treasure is on the pillow, and he fell asleep sweetly. Shen Yue wiped his face With a little saliva dripping from the corner of the child's mouth, he said lightly.

Hearing this, Emperor Cheng approached and asked, "Shen Qing has a clue?"

Shen Yue didn't say anything, just dipped in the tea and wrote two words on the table.

"Wei Xin?" Zichong was puzzled, "Didn't he ask Jiang Xingjun to capture him alive? You mean...he caught a fake?"

"Although I haven't met Wei Xin before, I learned about some of his hobbies from his subordinates, but the people in the prison don't see any traces of these in their behavior, words and deeds. So I...be careful."

"Have you sent someone to investigate?"

Shen Yue remained silent, only nodding in agreement.

Chengdi whispered, but the four people present still heard it clearly.

"You are here, I don't worry."

Shen Yue nodded, bowed and bowed: "When I was in trouble, I was grateful to the Holy Majesty for not giving up and helping me. Now I only report to Long En."

Emperor Cheng waved his hand in thanks.

After being silent for a while, Zichong asked: "The emperor just said two things, I don't know what the second thing is?"

"The northern captives are adjacent to Jizhou, and the northern capital is in the south of Jizhou. If the city of Jizhou is destroyed, the northern capital will surely die. In the past, I have thought about this, and after the next battle, I have thought about it even more. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, A lot of waste is waiting to be done. If we talk about strengthening the border defense, we must spend a huge amount of the national treasury to maintain it. Regardless of the huge cost, this method alone will eventually treat the symptoms but not the root cause. In the past, I lived in the south of the Yangtze River, where the river transportation was developed, the grain production was abundant, and the climate Yiren, so... I have the idea of ​​moving the capital to the south, but what do you two think?"

Zichong and Shen Yue looked at each other, both lowered their heads and meditated, and finally, Zichong hesitated to say: "Now we are fighting fiercely with the northern captives. If we talk about moving south at this time, I am afraid that the northerners will think that Daqi is cowardly and call the frontline soldiers." It also demoralized."

Shen Yue heard Zi Chong's polite refusal, so he continued to speak silently.

Emperor Cheng said: "As Ziqing said, the most urgent thing is the situation on the front line. The matter of moving the capital is only for discussion at the moment, and it needs to be discussed in the future. Ziqing and Shenqing may wish to go back and think about it. If there is a good way, we can choose another day to discuss with you. How about discussing it?"

The drunken man's intention is not to drink, that's why Emperor Cheng played the family card today.Shen Yue smiled inwardly, but on the face he agreed with Zi Chong: "Yes, I obey the order."

"If there is nothing else, I will not bother the emperor to enjoy the family relationship, and I will leave." Zi Chong stood up and bowed.

Shen Yue stood up holding Erbao, and the maid standing outside the court immediately stepped forward to take the child.Dabao opened his mouth to make a scene, but Shen Yue quickly covered the child's mouth.Comfortingly said: "Don't make trouble, Dabao, uncle will come to see you some other day."

Hearing this, Dabao gave up struggling, and instead broke Shen Yue's palm, reluctantly said: "Uncle always said 'next time'...then when is the 'next time' this time?"

This doll is very careful, beyond Shen Yue's expectation.Just as Shen Yue was muttering, Dabao was pulled back by the woman behind him.Shen Yaoqing bowed and held the child, and said softly: "Uncle is very busy, so I can't be sure which day I will come to see you. But uncle promised you, which time did you break your promise, right? We have to trust uncle, come, talk to uncle bid farewell."

The child pouted with an unhappy face, but finally shook his hand at Shen Yue.

Stepping out of Changchun Hall, Zi Chong and Shen Yue were silent.After walking for a while, Zichong broke the silence and said, "Your Majesty looks like you. He's only five years old, but he's already grown so tall."

Shen Yue just said 'hmm', he knew that Zi Chong wanted to ask at this moment, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Three days ago, Liaodong sent back a message, saying that Shen... Qiu Xunhe was found, and he was sent to Shen's residence yesterday. He suffered some injuries, and now he is being raised in my room..."

Before Shen Yue could finish his sentence, Zi Chong tugged his sleeves in surprise, and hurriedly asked, "How about I go and see him now?"

Although he has long been used to Zichong's escapism in getting along with each other in private, at this moment Shen Yue paused, with hesitation in his eyes.

Zi Chong seemed to be aware of his abrupt behavior, so he loosened Shen Yue's sleeves, and said restrainedly: "If it's inconvenient today, I can do it another day. I haven't seen him for a long time, and today I heard that he is in danger again and again. I am just such a nephew. Now hearing that he is safe, I really want to see him..." After talking, the words were almost murmured.

Shen Yue gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay."
