Chapter 1477 Visiting the patient
Upon hearing this, Mr. Shen's smile faded a little.
Obviously, he knew about this.
To be more precise, it has something to do with him.
"Brother, since His Majesty ascended the throne, there has been unrest both internally and externally, and it has been more than thirty years now."
Shen Yi picked up the tea, took a sip and smiled, then said, "After thirty years of hard work, it's time for Your Majesty to rest for a few days, isn't it?"
"No one said that Your Majesty cannot rest, but if Your Majesty wants to rest during this period, the crown prince should be allowed to observe government affairs. However, there has been no decree so far, and there has been no movement from the East Palace."
Zhang Jian sighed and said, "Now, there is a lot of discussion in the court and the country, saying that your majesty and the prince are not on good terms."
Shen Yi smiled and said, "Your Majesty is never confused when doing things. Senior brother shouldn't worry about this. Just do your own thing. Your Majesty is not attending court, and the power of the Secretariat will be even greater. Senior brother, as the Prime Minister, will be able to handle things more smoothly."
"That's not what they said."
Zhang Jian shook his head and said, "If it were a prime minister like Yang Jingzong back then, he would naturally hope that Your Majesty would not take care of government affairs so that he could seize power. But I am different. I hope that the court will be stable and continue to operate without any problems."
Zhang Jian's idea was also the idea of many scholars and officials. In their view, the imperial court was a machine that was always running, and it would be best if this machine could keep running without any problems.
Sometimes it doesn't matter who is driving the machine.
Even if a wise and benevolent ruler is in power, these scholars and officials will urge the emperor to appoint a crown prince as soon as possible. After all, a wise and benevolent ruler cannot live forever.
The same is true.
Now, even these prime ministers have noticed that the Emperor's condition seems to be not right. For example, Zhang Jian, all he wants is to let the crown prince enter the "internship" state as soon as possible.
Just in case…just in case.
If the emperor suddenly passed away one day and the prince had no experience in governing the country, there would likely be chaos in the court.
Especially a prince who is already sixteen years old.
Shen Yi thought for a while, then shook his head gently: "Brother, even if this issue needs to be considered, it should be considered by the Prime Minister of the Secretariat. Now that Master Zhao is not here, the Secretariat is under the care of Prime Minister Song Yuan, so don't think too much about it."
Zhang Jian turned his head and looked at Shen Yi, suspiciously saying: "I always feel that Ziheng is hiding something from me."
Shen Yi smiled and shook his head without saying anything.
Zhang Jian sighed and said, "After your eldest son gets married, you are going to send him to the north to lead the troops?"
Shen Yi nodded lightly.
"If he wants to do something, he has to leave home and venture out."
At this point, Master Shen shook his head and smiled bitterly, "To be honest, if he had been more obedient and married into the royal family, I would have returned to Jiangdu to retire by now."
"That's what I said."
Zhang Jian smiled dumbly: "No matter how big or small the facts are in Yandu, they cannot be separated from you. Apart from other things, if it weren't for you, Ziheng, who could control those court officials, the government offices in various yamen would have become a problem, and they might not have been able to settle down until now."
"Besides, if you were not in the court, those evil spirits in the dark would have jumped out all at once."
Shen Yi lowered his head to drink tea and sighed softly: "There is something that outsiders no longer believe if I talk about it now."
"When I entered the government, my wish was to return to my hometown in Jiangdu after the Fan family fell, to set up some experimental fields and build a few courtyards..."
"When I passed the imperial examination, my clansmen came to me for support, and I also left a hundred acres of land for myself, which I planned to use in the future."
(It is written at the beginning of this paragraph…)
“That’s how people are.”
Zhang Xianggong smiled and said, "When my grandfather was a prime minister, I was living a life of luxury in Jiankang City. I had a lot of fun. I never thought that one day I would be sitting in this meeting hall and become a prime minister."
After the two chatted for a while, Zhang Jian pulled Shen Yi's sleeve and said, "Ziheng, I will definitely be there for your Shen Yuan's wedding. Not only me, but most of the officials in the court will also be there, so you can rest assured."
"But before that, Ziheng, please go to the palace for me and see His Majesty."
He sighed softly, "At this time, His Majesty is unwilling to see anyone, and most of the matters are left to the Secretariat. Only you, Ziheng, can see His Majesty."
Shen Yi was silent for a long time before he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the palace later."
He stood up and looked at Zhang Jian. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "There is one thing I want to tell my senior brother."
Zhang Jian perked up: "Hurry up and tell me."
"The three judicial departments have already investigated the matter that Luo Yong exposed last time. The case will be closed by the end of this year at the latest. After this year, it will be over in the next year."
Shen Yi whispered: "That fellow Zhou Yuanlang will probably enter the Secretariat."
Zhang Jian frowned subconsciously, then nodded silently.
"I see."
………………
In the Manna Palace.
His Majesty the Emperor was lying on a couch, holding a book in his hand and flipping through it page by page. Master Shen walked into the Ganlu Palace with a cloth and bowed, "Your Majesty."
The emperor looked up at Shen Yi, motioned Shen Yi to sit down, then smiled and said, "Why? Those people couldn't hold back any longer, so they sent you to the palace to check on me."
Shen Yi smiled awkwardly: "I missed your majesty and came to the palace to take a look."
"His Majesty…"
Mr. Shen asked, "How are you these days?"
"great."
His Majesty the Emperor sat up straight and said with a smile: "I followed Mr. Shen's advice and tried not to look at the piles of documents for three days. It really relieved me a lot. In the past half month, I left most of the things to the Secretariat, and I just felt relieved."
"Even my mood has improved a lot."
At this point, the emperor shook his head slightly and sighed: "What a pity..."
"It's a pity that I couldn't use this method a dozen or twenty years ago, otherwise I should be as young as Shen Qing now."
The emperor's physical condition can no longer be ignored.
The truth is, one night about a month ago, His Majesty the Emperor fainted in Ganlu Palace. The situation was very urgent. Before His Majesty the Emperor fainted, he asked the eunuch to summon Shen Yi to the palace urgently.
At that time in Ganlu Palace, the emperor's face looked very unhappy, and he almost looked like he was going to entrust his son to the care of others, which scared Shen Yi!
Fortunately, the emperor was not too old after all, and he managed to get through that incident successfully.
At that time, Shen Yi suggested to the emperor that he should completely put aside state affairs for a few days, rest well for a few days, and see the results.
This is why His Majesty the Emperor has not attended court for nearly a month.
However, this matter is top secret and no one can tell it, so Shen Yi did not explain it to Zhang Jian.
After all, if others knew that the emperor had fainted a month ago, there would probably be chaos inside and outside the court immediately.
And now, after more than half a month of "Shen's treatment", His Majesty the Emperor's spirit has obviously recovered and his complexion has improved a lot.
But it is hard to say whether it can fully recover.
After all, it’s hard to turn back…
Shen Yi's trip to the palace was ostensibly to be a spy at the request of Zhang Jianzhi, but in fact he was there to visit a patient.
Seeing that the emperor had recovered a little, Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty, since this method has been effective, you should rest well for a while, and you should be able to recover slowly. As for the court..."
"With several prime ministers inside and the King of Chen and the imperial guards outside, nothing can go wrong."
The emperor sighed softly.
"I can hide for a month or two, but I can't hide for a year or two. I have to deal with government affairs. What a pity..."
He didn't finish, but Shen Yi knew that he felt sorry for the fact that Donggong was not satisfactory.
Otherwise, he would have already begun to slowly hand over power by now.
His Majesty the Emperor stood up and said with a smile, "After a month of rest, I am indeed much more energetic now. Yesterday I even wanted to flip the cards, but I thought about not damaging my energy, so I held back."
He looked at Shen Yi and said softly, "I haven't been to court for almost a month. I'm afraid there has been a lot of discussion outside, right?"
Shen Yi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. Your majesty is as powerful as a prison. Even if those people in the court have ten thousand guts, they dare not cause trouble."
"They don't make trouble because you, Shen Qing, are still in the court. They don't dare to make trouble."
"That's all."
Hong Dedi smiled carefreely: "It's time to find an opportunity to show up and let them feel at ease."
He looked at Shen Yi and asked with a smile: "When will Shen Yuan get married?"
Mr. Shen was stunned, then quickly replied.
"Back to Your Majesty..."
"Five days later."
