Chapter 1479 His Majesty has arrived!
On this day, two men, one with white hair and the other with black hair, dressed in plain clothes, walked in the city of Yanjing, one in front and one behind, protected by countless internal guards.
They first strolled around the famous Eight Hutongs in Yanjing City, and then went to a famous restaurant in the city for dinner.
The white-haired man took out gold leaves from his sleeves to pay for the meal.
This was also the first time he paid the bill himself since inheriting his father's business.
Although the money was taken out of the pockets of his attendants, this was indeed his first time paying the bill.
After finishing the meal, the white-haired man named Li stood up and walked out with his hands behind his back. Although he had a smile on his face, his steps were very unsteady.
"It's a pity that we are already this age."
He turned around to look at his friend named Shen who was following behind him, and said with some emotion: "If I were a dozen years younger, you and I could travel around the world together, and we would be able to find out if we encountered a wrongful conviction."
He smiled and said, "Let's reveal our identities again and scare those corrupt officials to death."
“When I think about it, I feel refreshed.”
The man surnamed Shen was silent for a long time, then he lowered his head slightly and said: "When you have recovered from your illness and chosen a successor, I will accompany you to travel around the country."
The man surnamed Li turned around and smiled: "Okay, it's settled. I've always wanted to go to Xi'an Prefecture to see what the old Chang'an City looks like now."
"besides."
The man smiled and said, "Don't call me your subordinate all the time in public. Are you afraid that others won't hear you?"
Mr. Shen smiled and said, "Yes."
It was sunset, and the half-white-haired man, with his hands behind his back, was walking in Yanjing City. He looked up at the setting sun in the sky and sighed, "It's so beautiful."
"I wonder what the situation is like in Jiankang right now."
Lord Shen also looked at the sunset in the sky.
"Magnificent sunset."
Having said this, he stopped talking.
Emperor Li looked back at him, thoughtfully: "It seems there should be a second half."
Mr. Shen sighed slightly: "It's just getting close to dusk."
“Good sentence.”
The man clapped his hands and said with emotion: "When I was in Jiankang, I was determined to move the capital. At that time, I felt very strong in my heart. It didn't matter where I lived. It's only been more than a year since I moved here."
"I already miss my hometown a little bit."
He was born and raised in Jiankang, and spent thirty-nine years of his approximately forty-year life in Jiankang.
To say that I don't think about it at all is impossible.
At this point, he turned around and looked at Lord Shen, smiling and said, "When the time comes, have someone build a tomb for me in Jiankang and bury me next to the mausoleum of my father and mother. When I want to go back and take a look, maybe I can go back."
Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said, "It's cold and windy outside, I'll take you home."
"Don't get cold."
Emperor Li hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
He opened his arms, took a deep breath of the outside air, then put his hands behind his back and walked towards the imperial city.
"In my next life, I will never be an emperor no matter what."
Mr. Shen followed behind him, sighed slightly, and said nothing.
The two walked all the way to the gate of the imperial city, and Shen Yi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. I have a lot of things to do at home, so I will go back now."
"it is good."
The emperor smiled and said, "I have had my grandson for many years. You should also hurry up and have your grandson."
People of this era got married very early. Shen Yi and the emperor got married when they were both seventeen or eighteen years old, and their children were not young anymore.
The eldest prince, Li Wang, is already in his early twenties.
He was already married and had children.
Mr. Shen lowered his head and said with a smile: "Life is really wonderful. I have reached this age without realizing it."
The emperor smiled silently.
"You are still very young."
There seemed to be something else behind these words. Master Shen sighed and said, "I am not young anymore. When I was fighting against the Japanese in the southeast, I also suffered some hidden injuries. I can see that they have come to me now."
It’s all because the old thief Sima was too cruel, so that for important officials in later generations, being in good health seems to be a crime.
Fortunately, there seems to be no Sima the old thief in this world. At most, there are similar people, which gives Shen and Li some room to ease the tension.
The two said goodbye in front of the imperial city gate.
At this time, the palace lanterns were hung high.
Mr. Shen walked with his hands behind his back in the cold wind of a winter night in Yanjing, feeling quite complicated.
………………
Five days later, the young marquis of Shenhou Mansion got married.
Almost all the famous civil and military officials in the court were present, including several prime ministers of the Secretariat.
There is no way around it. Mr. Shen is now the second only to the emperor in the court in terms of prestige and power. He is truly second only to the emperor and above everyone else.
Some people with bad intentions in the society secretly called Shen Yi "the Second Emperor".
The officials in the court naturally dared not disrespect the eldest son of such an important figure when he got married.
Even if he looked down on Shen Yi in private, he would definitely come to show his support now, after all, it was well known in the court of Dachen.
Lord Shen is a petty person.
On this day, the Shenhou Mansion became extremely lively from the morning.
However, at this moment, Shen Yi no longer needs to do all the affairs of the Shen family himself. In addition to the servants of the Shen family who are busy working, it is the next generation of the Shen family, that is, the brothers of Shen Yuan's generation, who are busy in the mansion.
Shen Yi and Shen Heng were only responsible for entertaining some more important guests, such as several prime ministers of the Secretariat and people at the level of the Nine Ministers.
After working all morning, an acquaintance came hurriedly near noon. After seeing Shen Yi in the main hall, he bowed and saluted politely, then smiled and said, "Congratulations, Taibao, you have a daughter-in-law today. I am late, please forgive me."
Mr. Shen looked at the visitor with a half-smile, and said with a smile: "Minister Zhou came just now, is he busy investigating the corruption case in the court?"
"Ashamed."
Zhou Yuanlang bowed his head and said, "I have been busy for several months, but the case has not been closed yet."
He sighed and said, "This matter is too offensive. I may not even have a place to stand in the court in the future."
Zhou Yuanlang looked at Shen Yi, bowed again, and sighed: "This matter was caused by the Imperial Report Department under the command of the Grand Guardian. If the lower officials are attacked by the crowd, the Grand Guardian should take care of the lower officials."
Master Shen Yi narrowed his eyes, looked up and down at his defeated opponent, and clicked his tongue.
"Brother Zhou has been an official in Dachen for more than ten years. It seems that he has become much more shameless now."
Zhou Yuanlang looked respectful.
"I don't quite understand what Taibao said."
"That's not as good as this."
Mr. Shen said calmly, "It just so happens that Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Revenue has been promoted. After Brother Zhou's corruption case is resolved, I will write to the court to transfer Brother Zhou to the Ministry of Revenue as Minister, which can also be considered a promotion."
"What do you think, Brother Zhou?"
Zhou Yuanlang's expression froze.
He had already met the emperor in private, so he naturally knew where he would be placed after he accomplished this task. But if Lord Shen in front of him opened his mouth...
His Majesty the Emperor might really change his mind.
Just when Minister Zhou was at a loss, Zhang Jian strode in. Before he even got close, he bowed and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Ziheng is going to be the father-in-law of the family now."
Mr. Shen left Zhou Yuanlang behind and went to greet him with a smile: "I have been waiting for you for a long time. Today's wedding is still waiting for you to officiate."
Zhang Jian walked in and saw Zhou Yuanlang was there too. He bowed and said indifferently, "Minister Zhou is here too."
Zhou Yuanlang bowed and saluted: "Prime Minister Zhang."
"You're welcome."
Zhang Jian said with a smile: "How is the investigation of Minister Zhou's corruption case going?"
Zhou Yuanlang thought about it and was about to speak when a shrill voice came from outside the Shen Mansion.
"Your Majesty has arrived~"
Upon hearing these words, Zhou Yuanlang and Zhang Jian's expressions changed slightly.
Mr. Shen walked out of the main hall calmly and gave instructions to the Shen family.
"Get ready for pickup."
