After Song Shuyan agreed to Shen Zeyuan's request, he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and secretly planned to change how to help Shen Zeyuan in the room.

Early the next morning, Song Shuyan went to the city gate early in the morning, looked at Shen Zeyuan and smiled: "I'm righteous enough, I know that you are going to leave today to see you off." ”

"Yes, you are righteous enough, please leave the affairs of the capital to you," Shen Zeyuan looked at Song Shuyan and asked again.

Song Shuyan looked at Shen Zeyuan and nodded helplessly: "Don't worry, I will help you take care of it." ”

"Then there will be a period later," Shen Zeyuan looked at Song Shuyan and smiled, turned around and got on the horse, Song Shuyan waved his hand at Shen Zeyuan and watched Shen Zeyuan leave.

When Shen Zeyuan's figure disappeared from Song Shuyan's sight, Song Shuyan turned around and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Not long after Shen Zeyuan left, the situation in the capital suddenly changed, and the emperor's body became weaker and weaker.

Song Shuyan was also a little at a loss for a while, and the affairs of the DPRK and China were also handed over to Shen Zecang alone, and Song Shuyan saw that Shen Zecang was not very powerful, so he did not ask someone to send news to Shen Zeyuan.

"Hey, you've heard, the court has been a little unstable lately. ”

"I've heard about it for a long time, and I guess it's spread all over the world, right?"

"What's the matter?"

"Don't you know? The third prince has been helping the emperor deal with the affairs of the court recently, but someone who does not belong to his party came out to refute his opinion and was killed by him on the spot. ”

"Is this really the case?"

"It's true, the minister's family was still making trouble in the street after they found out at the time. ”

"Are these three princes so rampant?"

"Then what can I do, the seventh prince left the capital because of the fiefdom, and now there is no one in the palace who can compete with the third prince, and he has a reason for being rampant. ”

"Hey, I don't know when the seven princes will come back, and if they don't come back, I'm afraid the sky will change in this capital!"

"Okay, okay, it's almost over after a while, in case someone with a heart listens to it and tells the third prince, do we still want our heads. ”

"Yes, come on, drink and drink, stop talking. ”

Song Shuyan overheard the conversation of the guests who came to the restaurant to eat, and was shocked, and he didn't know whether these rumors were true or false, and suddenly remembered that Song Ling had been busy in the study recently, and he didn't have time to eat at all, so he asked the kitchen to make some delicious meals, and was going to go back to pretend to deliver food, and inquire about the recent things in the court, if these things are true, it seems that he must write to Shen Zeyuan and ask him to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

"Why are you here?, isn't the restaurant busy?" Song Ling frowned as he looked at Song Shuyan who had entered the study, his eyes full of exhaustion.

"My daughter saw that you worked hard day and night, and you couldn't eat hot food, so she thought about bringing you some food to let you rest, otherwise if you continue like this, your body will be tired," Song Shuyan took out the prepared dishes and put them on the table.

Song Ling looked at Song Shuyan and smiled: "You still have a heart, but I didn't hurt you in vain." ”

"Why is my father so busy recently, although I was busy before, I have never seen my father so tired, but what happened to the court?" Song Shuyan pretended not to care about these things.

Song Ling glanced at Song Shuyan and sighed helplessly: "The emperor is unwell, and the affairs of the court have been rarely managed, and recently these things have been handed over to the three princes to deal with, and the new officials took office with three fires, and the three princes killed several ministers in a flash, and also resigned from the official positions of several ministers, no, their affairs were handed over to me before they were dealt with, so many people, so many large and small affairs to deal with, of course I was busy." ”

"But he stepped down from office with so many people, didn't the emperor say anything?" Song Shuyan frowned, and always felt that something was wrong in his heart, it stands to reason that after dealing with so many people, the emperor would definitely say something.

"The emperor knows what he can say, the prince is born with ambitions, the emperor doesn't know," Song Ling shook his head and seemed to be very helpless, "What's more, the people who the three princes killed are not from his own party, even if the emperor wants to say something, he can't say it, after all, there are people from the three princes' party to help him speak, and the emperor is not in good health now, and he is helpless!"

"Then there is no other way, there is no one in the palace who can compete with him now?" Song Shuyan poured a glass of water for Song Ling, but he couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart Shen Zecang's ruthlessness, it turned out that he killed people who were not good for him.

"It's not that there is no way, but now the only person in the palace who can compete with the three princes is the seventh prince, but the seventh prince is not in the palace because of something happened to the fief, otherwise how could the third prince set off such a big storm, hey," Song Ling drank a glass of water, his eyes were full of helplessness.

Song Shuyan looked at Song Ling's tired appearance and felt a little distressed, for a while she actually felt that her father was much older, and after a moment of silence, she said: "Father, you have been busy for so long, rest for a while and then continue, otherwise the body will be exhausted and there will be no pillars at home, what should we do!"

Song Ling looked at the remaining documents on the desk and sighed: "It's time to take a good rest, otherwise the body will collapse, and it is estimated that the court will be even more chaotic, the emperor is not in good health now, I can't collapse." ”

"Well, yes, that's why you have to combine work and rest," Song Shuyan looked at Song Ling and smiled.

"You too, if you can, you must do your best to cure the emperor's illness, otherwise there will be a big change in the capital," Song Ling looked at Song Shuyan and instructed.

"Yes, my daughter understands," Song Shuyan looked at Song Ling and nodded, "Then the father eats slowly, and the daughter will retire first if she still has something." ”

"Go ahead," Song Ling waved his hand at Song Shuyan.

Song Shuyan nodded, turned around and left the study and returned to his room.

"Qingyi, help me prepare pen and paper, I want to write to the Seventh Prince," Song Shuyan instructed Qingyi to prepare paper and pen as soon as he returned to the room.

Qingyi nodded, and it didn't take long for him to bring paper and pen, Song Shuyan took the paper and pen, and wrote:

Seeing words is like seeing people, the court in the capital has changed too much, the three princes have killed many people who have left office, and the emperor's health has not improved for a few days.

Song Shuyan handwritten

After Song Shuyan finished writing this letter, he left the Prime Minister's Mansion and went to his own restaurant, and ordered Shen Zeyuan to go to the restaurant to get the letter from the dead man who stayed in the capital.

When Song Shuyan delivered the letter to the dead man, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, looking forward to Shen Zeyuan coming back as soon as possible.
