The matter of the great drought in the north has been in an uproar recently. And these spearheads are all pointed at Shen Zeyuan one by one.

In fact, it is not difficult to think about this matter, there is a great drought in the north. The emperor didn't know it, even if the northern officials were greedy for pleasure, it would definitely not be so obvious. Because sooner or later, paper can't contain the fire, and once discovered, the consequences can be imagined.

And how could it be if there was no one behind the scenes. Things were handled flawlessly, with hardly any flaws. If you say that the beneficiary of the whole thing, he just wants to get rid of his Shen Zecang day and night.

However, it cannot be regarded as no evidence, after the investigation of him, according to the careful observation of the past few days. He is indeed different from before, and the officials in the north have taken the blame on themselves, for fear that someone is behind him to blackmail.

Such a shameless way to deal with it is only him, Shen Zecang.

"I already knew that Shen Zecang was responsible for the drought in the north, but he was very shrewd, and he didn't leave a trace of evidence, and he was helpless to arrest him. Shen Zeyuan said to Xu Yanyan with a headache, and his tone was very helpless.

The summer days are long, and the birds outside the palace are very lively, but the palace is surprisingly quiet.

For Xu Yanyan, he knew Shen Zeyuan's troubles. However, that Shen Zecang was insidious and cunning, and sent officials from the north to send him to death.

Before Xu Yanyan could speak, Shen Zeyuan hurriedly asked, "You said that I sent the northern officials to the capital, will they tell the truth?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Yanyan shook his head slowly, and his tone was full of caution: "This is impossible Your Majesty, since the northern officials were sent out to die, then they were ready to die for a lifetime, and they didn't even think about going back alive." ”

Saying this, Shen Zeyuan thought about it sideways, but felt so reasonable. Angry and helpless roared: "This Shen Zecang is really a villain!"

Seeing that he was angry, Xu Yanyan hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, although the northern officials can't work for us." But it is necessary to take them back to the palace for questioning, because these officials are not available. ”

If these northern officials stay in the north for a second, they may be detrimental to the people in the north for a second, although they may not dare to do anything, but it is true that they will be escorted back to the capital. Indispensable.

It is reasonable, Shen Zeyuan did not have to wait for anything, and immediately sent the minister of Qin to personally go to the north to escort the officials into Beijing.

He also specially instructed many times that no one should be missing, after all, these officials may be Shen Zecang's eyeliner, and leaving one is really a lot of harm.

Escorting the northern officials into Beijing is only the first step, and the north cannot do without officials to sort out order and take care of the people in the north.

In order to prevent Shen Zecang from using his power to control officials again, this time Shen Zeyuan personally selected some available talents to serve in the north.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to personally investigate these officials. Xu Yanyan asked for help.

It's not that he doesn't believe in these officials, but he is really afraid that these officials have a connection with Shen Zecang, even if there is even a little bit of it, then it will really be wasted.

He personally asked for his life, Shen Zeyuan didn't know his thoughts. He was also afraid, so he approved his idea and allowed him to investigate the officials himself.

After getting the permission, Xu Yanyan carefully checked the bottom line of these officials in turn. found that there was indeed no Shen Zecang, so he was relieved.

Shen Zeyuan also sent them to the north with confidence, hoping to manage the affairs of the north well and not to appear in the current situation.

After these things were done, Shen Zeyuan could be regarded as having completed the first step, and the subsequent review became more and more difficult.

The rest of the days were just time to wait for the arrival of the northern officials.

Shen Zeyuan, who had always been worried about Song Shuyan, finally had time to visit her, so after telling the palace about the affairs in the palace, he went to the Song Mansion alone to visit Song Shuyan.

Because no matter what, Song Shuyan was injured and Shen Zeyuan was always partly responsible, so when Song Ling heard that Shen Zeyuan was coming, his face was not very good-looking.

"I don't know if the emperor is coming, and the ministers are atoning for their sins, but Yan'er needs to recuperate, please ask the emperor to come back. Song Ling said politely, and the tone was not very popular.

Shen Zeyuan was a little overwhelmed for a while, but he still pleaded: "Yan'er was injured because of me, because I didn't protect her well. I don't know how I can make up for it, but I still want to take care of her myself, and I feel relieved to see her getting better. ”

Although he said it sincerely, Song Ling still looked polite and did not make concessions.

Shen Zeyuan sighed helplessly, but he also understood Song Ling, so he said again: "I will definitely protect her and live up to Prime Minister Song's hard work." ”

In fact, Song Ling was just deliberately pretending to be good, telling him to be better to Song Shuyan. After all, Song Shuyan was going to marry him.

But he didn't expect Shen Zeyuan to swear like this, which made him a little flattered.

hurriedly agreed: "With Your Majesty's thoughts, the old minister will be relieved." Then he invited him to Song Shuyan's boudoir.

Shen Zeyuan, who came to Song Shuyan's room, couldn't help but smile when he looked at her sleeping peacefully on the bed.

However, Song Shuyan had only woken up for a short time after all, and his body was still relatively weak, and cold sweat occasionally broke out on his forehead. Shen Zeyuan saw it in his eyes, for fear that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked the imperial doctor.

The doctor told him that this was normal, and he was relieved. So he personally stayed by her side and carefully wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Presumably because the body is more comfortable, Song Shuyan sleeps more peacefully. Shen Zeyuan stayed by her side until the night was getting late, and Song Shuyan slowly woke up.

As soon as she woke up, she saw a familiar figure, and when she gradually woke up, she saw that it was Shen Zeyuan.

Song Shuyan in the dream always felt that someone was silently guarding him, and the familiar smell had been permeating the tip of his nose.

When he raised his eyes, it was Shen Zeyuan, and his heart was full of joy, helplessness and worry.

"Awake?" Shen Zeyuan asked gently

Song Shuyan sighed and asked randomly puzzled, "When did you come?"

"It's noon. Shen Zeyuan replied truthfully.

Song Shuyan, who heard this, was not surprised, she stood up and did it, with reproach in her tone: "You are here now, do you know how dangerous your situation is?"

Looking at the look of worrying about himself in his eyes, Shen Zeyuan was very moved, and said indifferently: "I have also dealt with some of it, I have to come over freely, I can rest assured to see that you are much better." ”

Song Shuyan knew that these were not good words to make himself happy, but what he really wanted to say from the bottom of his heart. The tone was also a lot softer: "Go back, there are still many things you need to deal with." ”
