Chapter 1506: Surging Heart
Can human nature stand the test?
There is a high probability that it cannot withstand it.
Shen Yi was also very clear about this.
If Mr. Shen were in the Crown Prince's position, and his old father suddenly called his fourth brother back at this juncture, he would also be worried.
After all, Li Rong is no longer a prince.
If it were any other prince, after failing in the fight for the throne, the worst that could happen was that he would be sent to a fiefdom. Even if the new emperor was unhappy, at most he would be demoted from a prince to a duke, and it would not be a problem for him to be a rich man.
And the prince...
Throughout the dynasties, deposed princes rarely had a good ending. Even if they did not die, they would probably be imprisoned forever.
After all, the new emperor would never tolerate a brother who once was the crown prince running around everywhere, as this would cause instability in the country.
Shen Yi is now the crown prince, so maybe he will grit his teeth and give it a try.
Of course, if Mr. Shen had the opportunity to become the crown prince and serve as regent for more than half a year, the structure of the court would definitely not be the same as it is now.
Even if he does not control the court, at least he will secure his position as crown prince.
But the reality now is that the court is just like this.
Zhang Xianggong frowned and looked up at Shen Yi: "Ziheng, please make your words clearer."
Master Shen shook his head and said, "Brother, we need to send the imperial edict from here to Jiangdu, and then the King of Wu will go from Jiangdu to the capital. This round trip will take at most twenty days."
"In twenty days, Brother will see what it means to test human nature."
Zhang Jian's eyelids twitched at these words.
He looked around and whispered, "Ziheng, what you said makes my eyelids twitch..."
Shen Yi sighed and said, "Now that you've said this, Senior Brother should know everything. But you still have to pretend that you don't know. None of us ministers can get involved in this matter. Otherwise, not only will there be no benefit, but we will also get into trouble."
Zhang Jian nodded silently: "I'll remember that."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty's body..."
Shen Yi shook his head again and said softly: "If it were good, I wouldn't be so anxious to come out to attend the court."
…………
In the mansion of Lord Shen.
Shen Yi and his wife looked at their eldest daughter standing in front of them. Master Shen had a complicated expression and said, "This is how it is. My son decided it himself. Now the imperial decree granting the marriage will be issued soon. It's too late to regret it now."
Shen Sangsang blushed slightly and said nothing.
Lu Ruoxi on the side said with a smile: "At her age, she should have married a long time ago. Now she has married the prince, and he is the one she loves. What is there to regret?"
Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said helplessly: "I knew that they could be together. Madam will definitely settle down and bring them together."
"How can you say that I brought them together?"
Lu Ruoxi snorted softly, "My daughter's lifelong event, my husband doesn't care about it, and you don't allow me to care about it?"
Shen Sangsang walked up to Shen Yi, pulled Shen Yi's sleeve, and said softly and coquettishly: "Dad, I know you can't bear to leave me. I will come back to see you often in the future."
Shen Yi glanced at her and said, "You married to Jiangdu, which is thousands of miles away from Yanjing. How come you come back so often?"
Shen Sangsang lowered his head: "Didn't you always say that you would live in Jiangdu in the future..."
Shen Yi shook his head again and sighed: "Forget it, go and have fun. Don't run around these few days. The palace may summon you to come in."
Shen Sangsang responded, turned around and left.
Mr. Shen lowered his head to drink tea, his face still not looking good.
Lu Ruoxi stood up, walked over to him, gently squeezed his shoulders, and said, "Why do you look unhappy, husband? Are you not satisfied with King Wu?"
"No."
Shen Yi said silently: "His Highness the Fourth Prince is a very smart person, and his character is not a big problem, but the problem is..."
He looked up at Lu Ruoxi and said softly, "Madam."
Lu Ruoxi was stunned and asked, "What's wrong, husband?"
Shen Yi sighed and said, "My husband and I may have joined forces to push our daughter into the palace."
Mrs. Shen was stunned and stopped moving her hands. After a long while, she came to her senses and stared at Shen Yi blankly.
"My husband means..."
Shen Yi said softly: "It's just a possibility."
"Don't tell anyone what I say, otherwise it will cause trouble for our family."
After a long while, Lu Ruoxi responded, and then murmured: "I thought Sangsang was just going to Jiangdu to be a princess..."
Shen Yi stood up, patted her on the back, and said softly, "It's okay."
"With her father and brother here, no one dares to bully her, even in the palace."
Lu Ruoxi was still frowning, and seemed to regret what she had done before.
Mr. Shen took her hand and said with a smile, "Tell Madam something happy."
Lu Ruoxi looked at Shen Yi: "What's the matter?"
"Yuan'er sent a message saying that our daughter-in-law is pregnant."
"Really?"
Lu Ruoxi was pleasantly surprised: "The Shen family finally has a third generation!"
Mr. Shen hugged him and whispered, "The girl surnamed Su is also pregnant."
Shen Yi held his wife in his arms and looked into the distance, a little lost in thought: "Back then, there was only me and Zichang left in that small family, but now it has finally expanded. I want to thank Madam on behalf of the Shen family."
"That's what my husband said."
Madam Shen scolded, "Am I not a member of the Shen family?"
"Of course it is."
Lu Ruoxi grabbed Shen Yi's hand and whispered, "Husband, you said in a few months, should we send someone to Liaodong to bring our grandson back?"
Shen Yi smiled and said, "How can you separate a mother and her child right after the baby is born? Besides, that is the business of their next generation. We should not be involved in it."
Lu Ruoxi nodded gently, but still couldn't help herself. She whispered, "Husband, when the court affairs are finished, take me to Liaodong."
Shen Yi smiled and nodded.
"it is good."
………………
Jiangdu Prefecture.
The imperial edict from the court was sent to the Prince of Wu's mansion in Jiangdu at an accelerated speed of 400 miles.
The eunuch who announced the decree unfolded the imperial edict, and everyone in Prince Wu's palace knelt on the ground to respectfully welcome the decree.
After a lengthy parallel prose, the imperial edict finally got to the point.
"You hereby grant Wu Wang Li Jian the right to marry Shen's eldest daughter. The wedding will be held in the capital. After Wu Wang receives the decree, he can set off to the capital to prepare for the wedding."
"Appreciate this."
When the eunuch who announced the decree finished reading it, he closed the imperial edict, stepped forward with a smile on his face to help Li Jian up, and said in a flattering smile: "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty."
"He is going to marry a princess."
Li Jian took the imperial edict with both hands and couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.
He took a deep breath to calm himself down, took out a few gold leaves from his sleeves, handed them to the eunuch who was delivering the imperial edict, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, eunuch. You will stay at the palace today. I will give you a good welcome."
The eunuch took it and bowed his head to say thank you.
After dealing with these eunuchs, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wu turned around and went back to the main hall of the palace. After taking several gulps of water, he stood up and suddenly shouted loudly.
"Someone! Someone!"
Soon, Cui Zhen, the eunuch who had followed him all the way from the capital to Jiangdu, came jogging over with his head lowered.
"My Lord, what can I do for you?"
His Royal Highness the King of Wu took another deep breath, and then said in a hoarse voice: "The gentleman who came to visit a few days ago, is he still in Jiangdu now?"
Cui Zhen thought for a moment and replied, "I sent someone to follow that man. He is a native of Jiangdu Prefecture. After leaving the palace, he went back to his hometown to visit his relatives. He should still be in Jiangdu Prefecture now."
"go…"
His Royal Highness Prince Wu tried to lower his voice: "Please come back to the palace respectfully."
"Do not."
He shook his head and said, "Find out where he is now, and I will go out and invite him in person!"
Cui Zhen responded and lowered his head quickly: "Yes, I will do it right away!"
After saying that, he lowered his head and retreated.
His Royal Highness Prince Wu held the imperial edict in his hands, his hands still shaking. He looked up at the sky and muttered to himself.
"Father..."
"father in law…"
