Chapter 108: Offended
Shen Zecang completely annoyed Shen Zeyuan because of the lantern knot. These days, he has been particularly targeted at the court, and in addition, the originally forceful Zuo Xiang is also on his side.
Although the emperor knew that he had to balance the ministers in order to make his throne last for a long time, from Shen Zecang's matter of the Lantern Festival, he really didn't have a good evaluation, and the palms and backs of his hands were full of meat.
And it's so decent, if he provokes Shen Zeyuan to be forced to such a point, he may give Shen Zeyuan a wake-up call.
However, he also offended the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, didn't he force himself to death?
Therefore, when the two of them deliberately let Shen Zecang go wrong in the court, he could only turn a blind eye.
Shen Zecang is also in dire straits because of the two of them in the court.
Back in the mansion, his temperament was also a lot more irritable, but whenever he met Shen Zeyuan, everything went wrong for him.
He has complaints about the Zuo Xiang faction, but when he knows that his son was tied to a sightseeing boat by himself and jumped into the water with Song Shuyan, he knew that something was wrong.
Sure enough, in the past few days, they have completely forced themselves to death.
But when he was in a dead end, he let himself go again, like a cat playing with a mouse, which made him helpless, and his heart was even more resentful.
After thinking about it, he didn't think of a solution, so he only thought of Song Wanyan.
In the teahouse.
Shen Zecang asked Song Wanyan to meet, but when they really met, he was a little unwilling.
"Your Highness, you might as well get straight to the point. Song Wanyan said that she is now living a very peaceful life in the mansion, and there is no disaster at all, but she is just unwilling.
"These days, everything is not going well in the court, and after thinking about it, the only way to do it is for us to get married early and let the Song family stand on my side. Shen Zecang made his purpose clear, which made Song Wanyan, who was sitting opposite, embarrassed for a moment.
But she also understood......
Since he got on Shen Zecang's thief ship and wanted to get down, unless he found a ship bigger than it, it would be a fool's dream.
"Yes, that's what I'll tell my dad when I get back. Song Wanyan said, taking a sip of tea, she only felt sad in her heart, is her role limited to marrying the family?
Shen Zecang was very satisfied with her reply, and when she went back to tell Song Ling about it.
Song Ling didn't know why she was angry, so she locked Song Wanyan in the ancestral hall and let her not have to go out again for half a month.
When Shen Zecang knew this news, he was even more angry in his study, and overturned his official business directly to the ground.
For half a month in a row, Shen Zecang's days in the court could be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, how he was doing.
If it weren't for the emperor who warned Shen Zeyuan and the Song family, as well as Zuo Xiang, I'm afraid his dire road would have continued.
Shen Zecang, who is very clear about these relationships, can be said to hate Shen Zeyuan, Song Ling, and Zuo Xiang is also complaining.
also because his biggest opinion on Song Ling was Song Ling, so he pinched the opportunity and targeted Song Ling when he was about to stop, making him suffer a dumb loss.
"Daddy, Shen Zecang is above the court, is it true that he wants to target you every time?" Song Shuyan asked, and there was nothing he could do about Shen Zecang's persimmon that was specially picked up and pinched.
In the struggle between the prince and the prince, Shen Zeyuan is obviously superior, and he is not easy to offend Zuo Xiang too much, after all, he is the one who is wrong first. If he is targeted because of this, he can only push Zuo Xiang to Shen Zeyuan's side, and he can only endure it.
Song Ling didn't know the truth that persimmons could really pick up soft ones.
"I'm very tired of being targeted by him in the court these days, so your father and I directly pretended to be sick and took a sick leave!" Song Ling said.
"Daddy is the best!" Song Shuyan said.
When Song Ling heard his daughter's words, he poked the corners of his mouth, but he didn't say it after all. He left a line in his work, no matter how bad Shen Zecang was, he was the heir of the heavenly family.
Shen Zeyuan and Song Ling met.
"You're a good boy. Song Ling praised it, which made Shen Zeyuan feel inexplicable.
"After two days, the old man is cured, let's work together to separate Shen Zecang, so as not to let him always jump in front of his eyes and annoy people. "In the past half a month, there have only been many people in the court who are tired of other people, and even the emperor wants to be out of sight.
But Shen Zecang only wants to hold the power in his hands, and he doesn't know much about it.
Or that even if he understands it, he doesn't want to give up, and since he doesn't want to give up, force him to give up.
Song Shuyan didn't know that although his father took sick leave, he had a private connection with the emperor in the palace, and he secretly entered the palace under the cover of Shen Zeyuan.
As for what they talked about, there was only the emperor besides him, and even Shen Zeyuan didn't know what they said.
When Shen Zeyuan went to court, he saw Song Ling, who was recovering from his illness.
"The emperor has arrived~" A sharp voice came from above the high hall, which was the words shouted by the emperor's personal eunuch.
"Long live the emperor, long live!" everyone said in unison.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's be even. The Emperor raised his hand.
"Your Majesty, Emperor. The crowd coped with the prelude to the past.
Shen Zecang suddenly felt that he should take a leave of absence today, because since the last dynasty, his father's eyes have fallen on him from time to time.
The gaze was majestic and indifferent, and it seemed to carry disappointment.
Disappointed?
Shen Zecang's heart chuckled.
"Your Majesty, the Lantern Festival in the city has passed, and after this Lantern Festival has passed, many people will go to the temple to pray for the health of their families. Song Ling said.
"Oh, the Lantern Festival is over, but what does it have to do with politics?" the Emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, the heirs of Weichen will also go to the temple to pray for blessings, and the time in the past will basically stay for about half a month, which can be described as an excellent filial piety. One of the ministers said proudly.
"Oh, Aiqing has a good daughter. "Filial piety? Where does the royal family get filial piety, I wish I was dead!
The sharp gaze turned to Shen Zecang, and he couldn't wait to hold the power in his hands, his vision and means were not clever, except for his hypocritical appearance, he pretended to be good.
It's a pity, this pretending to be as gentle as jade can't compare to the real warmth after all, and even the gentleness of the scholarly door can't be imitated.
The emperor was a little dissatisfied in his heart, Shen Zeyuan chased this position because he had vision and ability, and he had never done anything to harm his brothers and sisters.
"Do you think Cang'er is willing to pray for me to go to the temple for a month?" the emperor asked.
Shen Zecang's heart was raised, a month, wouldn't the court be all in Shen Zeyuan's hands, and his father would be so eccentric?
"Back to Your Majesty, the third prince is an extremely filial person, so he is naturally willing. Zuo Xiang said.
As soon as Zuo Xiang's words fell, the voice of the court asking him to pray for blessings became louder and louder, his face turned pale, and he looked up at his father.
The emperor's face was expressionless, but his heart was bored, "Cang'er, the incense in Huguo Temple is excellent, go and pray for me." ”
Shen Zecang said numbly, "Yes." ”
The emperor did not specify a day to come back, and the court was so quiet that the sound of falling needles could be heard, and even Song Ling and Zuo Xiang were surprised, and the result could not be changed, unless the emperor's mind changed.
