Chapter 1494 The house was stolen
"There are many smart people."
Mr. Shen sat beside the emperor and said quietly: "The court has appointed a crown prince, so naturally there will be a group of people who will rely on him and give him advice. Among these people, there are many capable people..."
"Attachment?"
Emperor Hong De said in a muffled voice: "Party attachment is more like it."
He looked up at Shen Yi and asked, "Mr. Shen, do you think the prince can be used?"
Mr. Shen shook his head: "I don't know."
Emperor Hongde shook his head helplessly and said, "I am not as good as you, Shen Qing, when it comes to sons. If the third son had the character of Shen Yuan, I would not hesitate and would directly abdicate to him."
"Now…"
His Majesty the Emperor raised his head and looked into the distance, saying silently: "There is only this last major event left for the Hongde Dynasty. Once this is done, I will have nothing to worry about. In the future, I will be able to see my father and my ancestors in the underworld."
"I can also give them an explanation."
Shen Yi sighed and said, "Your Majesty, I won't say anything more, but I really can't bring myself to talk about this matter. But no matter what decision Your Majesty makes, I will do it."
The emperor said silently: "You still refuse to give in. If you nod here, I will immediately grant marriage to the fourth son and your daughter."
Shen Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I have said this many times. As long as the children agree, I will never object."
"Well."
The emperor rubbed his brows and said, "Bring Sangsang to the palace someday, and I will ask her in person."
Shen Yi thought about it, nodded in agreement, and then whispered: "Your Majesty, I have a request."
At this moment, there were no outsiders around, and Shen Yi whispered: "Your Majesty's current favorite is probably the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince. If Your Majesty has decided on the Fourth Prince, then the new crown prince must be appointed before the marriage is granted."
"otherwise…"
Master Shen shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be infamous in history books for eternity."
The logic is easy to understand.
If Li Jian first married the daughter of the Shen family and then made her the crown prince, even if Emperor Hongde did it himself, it would be said that the powerful official Shen Qi was controlling the government.
Not only will people in this dynasty criticize you, but even thousands of years later, you will not be able to clear yourself of this suspicion.
Even if His Majesty the Emperor suddenly passed away in the next few years, the crime would most likely be framed on Shen.
Although Shen Yi didn't care much about what happened after his death, this unnecessary blame...
If you can avoid memorizing it, then of course you should.
The emperor smiled dumbly and shook his head helplessly: "Shen Qing, you think too much."
Master Shen said helplessly: "Even now, there are still many people in the court and the public who gossip about me. I really want to quit the court and return to Jiangdu to retire."
"But no one believed it."
"I believe it."
His Majesty the Emperor smiled at Shen Yi and said, "But Mr. Shen spent twenty years to bring me from Jiangdu to Yanjing. You can't just leave me in the north and run back to your hometown in Jiangdu, right?"
Shen Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly without saying anything.
His Majesty the Emperor looked up in a trance. After a long while, he slowly said, "Let's stand on a high place together and take another look."
"Look at them, one after the other."
Emperor Hongde was disappointed: "If there were another ten years, I should be thinking about destroying Zhulizhen and the Tatars instead of focusing on these internal affairs."
Shen Yi said softly: "Your Majesty, Master Zhuli was already injured last time, and it is impossible for him to take any action in the short term. As for the Tatars..."
"I will write to Xue Wei and ask him to actively organize people to go out of the border and look for traces of the Tatars."
The emperor nodded first, then asked with a smile: "Mingda should have arrived in Goryeo by now, right?"
"Already arrived."
Emperor Hong De said softly, "It's good when we get there."
"It's good to be here..."
…………
Time passes day by day.
Soon, it was the midsummer of the 31st year of Hongde.
Even in Yanjing, the city became hot and dry.
A lot of things happened in these two months.
First of all, some folk doctors, led by Shen Yi, successfully entered the palace and took the emperor's pulse.
These folk doctors sat together with the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau to discuss and research, and finally came up with a new prescription for His Majesty the Emperor.
The effect of this prescription was extremely good, even outstanding. After only three or four days of taking the medicine, Emperor Hong De's condition was greatly alleviated and he was almost cured.
Just when he was about to recover, the back sore on Emperor Hongde's back broke out again, and he almost fainted from the pain. When Shen Yi rushed over, the emperor was already lying on the bed with his eyes closed, as if he was dead.
After this incident, although the emperor was rescued, he was inevitably seriously injured.
All the imperial physicians who changed his prescriptions were severely punished, and the common doctor was severely beaten with twenty sticks and almost died in the imperial city.
This time, even Shen Yi was somewhat implicated.
If the emperor had not spoken up himself to rescue Shen Yi, Master Shen might have been attacked by a group of officials, and some might even have accused him of plotting to murder the emperor!
Because of this, he never said another word about treating the emperor.
Emperor Hong De’s physical condition became even less optimistic.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will fully enter the Secretariat and take charge of it.
Because of this, almost everyone in the court believed that the crown prince had been decided.
Officials tried their best to send gifts to the Eastern Palace, and many ministers privately began to use all kinds of channels to meet the prince in private and become his disciples.
While everyone's eyes were on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince was completely focused on the eldest daughter of Marquis Shen's family.
He is a prince, but he is willing to lose face to please Shen Sangsang. Besides, Shen Yi did not forbid him from entering and leaving the Shen Marquis Mansion, so he stayed at the Shen family almost every day.
Over time, you will naturally gain some benefits.
That afternoon, in Shen Yi's study.
The Fourth Prince took Shen Sangsang's hand and stood in front of Shen Yi. Without saying a word, he lowered his head and knelt down, kowtowed to Shen Yi.
"uncle."
Mr. Shen looked up at the Fourth Prince, then looked at his daughter who was standing beside him with a red face.
He was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh.
"Your Highness, please get up."
Li Jian then stood up and bowed his head respectfully, saying, "Uncle, I admire Sangsang wholeheartedly. Please help me."
Shen Yi looked at him quietly, then said, "Your Highness, can you please go out first? I want to talk to my daughter alone."
"Yes."
Li Jian quickly lowered his head and retreated cautiously.
Mr. Shen stood up, walked to his daughter, looked at her face, and said silently: "Have you thought it through?"
"Ah."
Shen Sangsang has never been afraid of Shen Yi, but at this moment, she was also a little shy, lowering her head and saying, "Father, the Fourth Prince is a very nice person, and I like him too..."
"and…"
Shen Sangsang lowered her head and said, "He stays in our house all day, and there are rumors everywhere outside..."
"The rumors outside are not important."
Master Shen touched the little girl's head and said softly, "Father only asks about your own thoughts."
Shen Sangsang bit her lip and lowered her head and said, "Father, my daughter...it's time for me to get married..."
“My peers all…”
Seeing his daughter like this, Master Shen felt empty inside. He sighed and said, "Father understands."
"Father will make proper arrangements for you, but if you regret it in the future, don't blame Father."
Shen Sangsang lowered her head and said, "My daughter understands."
Shen Yi looked at her and then smiled dumbly: "I only know about this now, did your mother keep it a secret for you?"
Mrs. Shen has been looking forward to marrying off her daughter for a long time.
"How can there be..."
Shen Sangsang turned around and ran out.
Shen Yi looked at her back as she ran away and sighed again.
"Let that boy in."
