Chapter 1480 The Emperor's Solution
The arrival of His Majesty the Emperor was unexpected to almost everyone, including Prime Ministers Zhang Jian and Song Yuan.
Because of His Majesty the Emperor, there has been almost no news for more than a month.
During this month, no matter whether it was a big or small matter, His Majesty the Emperor threw all of it to the Secretariat, and when the several prime ministers went to ask for instructions, they always got four words in return.
You decide for yourself.
Even among the prime ministers, no one was able to see His Majesty the Emperor.
In this era where the Holy Emperor is the absolute core, what happened to His Majesty the Emperor and what his current condition is have almost touched everyone's nerves.
And now, the emperor who had "disappeared" from politics for a while actually appeared in the Shen family! He appeared at the wedding of the young marquis of the Shen family!
Except for Shen Yi, everyone present was stunned. They stretched their necks to look towards the gate of Marquis Shen's Mansion. Even Prime Minister Zhang Jian stood next to Shen Yi and touched Shen Yi's shoulder.
"Ziheng, did you know in advance that His Majesty was coming?"
Mr. Shen shook his head slightly and said, "How can I know the whereabouts of the emperor?"
"then you…"
Shen Yi was silent for a while, then said, "I guessed a little."
After saying this, he brought Shen Yuan and other members of the Shen family and strode to the door of the Shen family. At this time, the emperor, dressed in purple clothes, had just got off the dragon chariot. Everyone knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live the emperor".
Even Shen Yi knelt on the ground after a long time and bowed his head to the emperor.
After all, this is his son's wedding and the emperor has given him face. It would be too ignorant to be arrogant at this time.
His Majesty the Emperor first walked up to Shen Yi and helped Mr. Shen up. Then he looked at Shen Yuan and other members of the Shen family, and then looked at the civil and military officials who were kneeling in a circle. Then he smiled and said, "Everyone stand up. Everyone stand up."
Everyone stood up. The emperor looked at Shen Yuan, waved to the groom, and said with a smile, "In the blink of an eye, the little guy has grown up and is going to get married and become an adult."
Shen Yuan stood obediently in front of the emperor.
The emperor reached out and patted his shoulder with a faint smile on his face: "When you become an adult, remember to be like your father and contribute more to the court and the country. Don't act recklessly like before."
Shen Yuan quickly lowered his head and smiled: "Your Majesty, I didn't do anything wrong before..."
"loquacious."
Emperor Hongde laughed and scolded: "You have been in Jiankang for a year, and I don't know how many people have come to me to complain."
"Forget it, today is your wedding day, I won't say any more."
Accompanied by Shen Yi, the emperor walked into the gate of the Shen family, then looked around and said with a smile: "All the ministers, please stand up and do what you need to do."
Everyone then stood up, and several prime ministers surrounded him silently, bowing their heads to the emperor.
Prime Minister Song Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay."
His Majesty the Emperor smiled and said, "Why would Prime Minister Song ask this question?"
"This month..."
Prime Minister Song smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty has been acting very abnormally over the past month. Several of our colleagues in the Secretariat are at a loss as to what to do."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "I'm fine."
"I'm just tired."
He smiled and said, "I want to rest for a few days."
"I am here today to attend little Shen Yuan's wedding. Please stop surrounding me and go away."
"We will discuss everything tomorrow. Everyone, please come to Ganlu Palace to see me tomorrow."
Several prime ministers breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
Shen Yi, who was following the emperor, frowned slightly, but he concealed it well, so no one could see it. He just lowered his head and smiled, "Your Majesty, since you are a little tired, why not just take a rest for a while? Anyway, the prime ministers are very organized in handling government affairs."
The emperor smiled and said, "If I rest any longer, there will be a storm all over the city."
After that, he glanced at Shen Yi and said, "Shen Qing, take me to the inner hall to rest. I will come out and take a look when the wedding starts."
At this time, weddings are usually held at dusk.
It means the time when yin and yang meet.
Therefore it is also called wedding ceremony.
It is still afternoon and there is still about half an hour before the wedding ceremony.
Shen Yi responded and said, "Your Majesty, please follow me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Sheng trotted all the way to Shen Yi. He first kowtowed to the emperor, and then whispered to Shen Yi: "My Lord, the Crown Prince's guard of honor has also arrived."
As soon as Jiang Sheng finished speaking, before Shen Yi could say anything, he heard a similarly shrill voice coming from outside.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived~"
The emperor looked back at Shen Yi's expression, then smiled and said, "It turns out that the prince hasn't arrived yet. I thought he had already arrived."
Mr. Shen took two steps closer and said with a low laugh, "It was appropriate for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to come before, but now that he sees you coming over, it is also appropriate for him to follow."
His Majesty the Emperor stretched himself and said with a smile, "Mr. Shen, please accompany me to the back hall."
Shen Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, should I go and greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Today is your family's wedding."
His Majesty the Emperor said calmly: "Once you enter the gate of the Shen family, there is no such thing as a monarch and a subject. He is still your descendant, why are you going out to greet him?"
"let's go."
Master Shen took a deep breath, turned around and gave Senior Brother Zhang a look, then instructed Shen Heng: "Zichang, take Yuan'er and the family out to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Don't be rude."
"I will accompany Your Majesty to the back hall to rest."
Shen Heng nodded quickly: "Yes."
In this way, the Shen family welcomed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the front yard, while Shen Yi accompanied His Majesty the Emperor to the warm room in the backyard of the Shen family and sat down. Mr. Shen personally lit the charcoal fire and put a pot of wine on the small charcoal stove. Soon the wine boiled. Shen Yi picked up the wine pot, poured out a cup of hot wine and handed it to His Majesty the Emperor.
The emperor took it with a smile and said, "Shen Qing, sit down too."
Master Shen sat down as he was told and sighed, "Your Majesty should rest for a few more days. You don't need to pay attention to what the gentlemen said."
His Majesty the Emperor smiled and said, "If Mr. Shen is willing to take charge of the Secretariat, I can be completely relieved and leave the government affairs to me."
Master Shen shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you are joking. I have not been in the capital for many years and am not familiar with many things. I am afraid that it would be a bit difficult for me to even take charge of a department, let alone enter the Secretariat."
"Look, you don't want to help me."
The emperor seemed to be in a good mood, and said with a smile: "But don't worry, Mr. Shen, I have also let it go. Now that the court has gradually stabilized, I don't need to ask about every detail. Even if I continue to handle government affairs in the future, I will only ask about the important matters."
"Leave the rest to the prime ministers."
"Thus."
The emperor yawned and said, "My health may gradually improve."
As they talked, the emperor and his minister drank a cup of hot wine. His Majesty felt much better all over, and then continued: "I am afraid that if time goes on for a long time, I will become lazy, and the Secretariat will hold the power and it will be difficult to get rid of it."
"Yang Jingzong was like this back then. Thinking back now, I still feel a little scared."
The emperor looked at Shen Yi and said, "So, Shen Qing, you still have to help me keep an eye on those old men in the Secretariat. If anything goes wrong with them, please inform me in time."
Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, it has always been the Secretariat that supervises all officials. How can officials supervise the Secretariat in turn? Besides, you are worried that the Secretariat has too much power. I already have several positions. Aren't you worried that I have too much power?"
"Worried."
His Majesty the Emperor took another sip of wine, praised the wine, and then put down the glass with a smile on his face: "But I don't have any other options. After thinking about it, there is only one way left to control you, Shen Qing."
Seeing his joking expression, Shen Yi was a little curious and asked, "What method are you talking about, Your Majesty?"
The emperor chuckled.
"I died suddenly."
He looked at Shen Yi's expression.
"Died in Shen Qing's house."
Mr. Shen was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red with anger, and he was so frightened that he could hardly speak clearly.
"Your Majesty..."
He looked up at His Majesty the Emperor, his face filled with shock.
"His Majesty…?"
The emperor drank by himself, still smiling, but there seemed to be something strange in his smile.
Shen Yi was a little panicked and he swallowed his saliva.
"Your Majesty..."
