Chapter 408

On the second day, Shen Xi was summoned into the palace by Emperor Jingtai.

Although Emperor Jingtai's health has not improved much during this time, but now Daliang and Beiyi are at war, although the prince has been in charge of the country for a period of time, it is still too late to deal with such a major event.

Therefore, no matter how uncomfortable Emperor Jingtai is, he still stays in the imperial study most of these days.

When Shen Xi arrived at the imperial study, Emperor Jingtai was sitting in front of the imperial case to read the folds, and the prince stood aside with a respectful expression.

Emperor Jingtai was already nearly half a hundred years old, and he was tormented by illness during this time, and he had to worry about the war between Daliang and Beiyi from time to time, so his face naturally couldn't see anywhere, and even in Shen Xi's eyes, Emperor Jingtai's face was extremely ugly.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, King Duanjun has arrived. ”

There was a waiter beside Emperor Jingtai who reported in a low voice.

Emperor Jingtai let out a low "um", and the chamberlain quietly retreated.

Shen Xi saw that Emperor Jingtai didn't pay attention to him, but still looked down at the song, so he didn't make a sound, just stood quietly under the imperial case, and waited patiently.

After a while, Emperor Jingtai picked up the imperial pen in his hand, dipped some cinnabar in it, reviewed it on the fold, closed it again, and then looked up at Shen Xi.

"Brother Xi is here. ”

Emperor Jingtai immediately smiled on his face.

Shen Xi hurriedly saluted the monarch and ministers, but said in his mouth: "I have seen the emperor's uncle." ”

Emperor Jingtai was immediately amused by Shen Xi.

He nodded at Shen Xi from afar, and shook his head a little helplessly on his face, "Brother Xi, after so many years, only you have not changed by my side. ”

Shen Xi smiled.

He only regarded Emperor Jingtai as Emperor Jingtai, which was praising him.

After that, Emperor Jingtai was not busy talking about business, but only asked Shen Xi about his life during this time, as well as the situation in the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, and later asked about the body of the county lord of Anyang.

In the end, it was asked about Xu Yujian.

"I remember......" Emperor Jingtai muttered slightly, "Brother Xi, your daughter-in-law is already pregnant, and it seems that she is about to give birth in just these two months?"

Shen Xi was slightly stunned, but then said: "Uncle Hui, that's right, it is estimated that at the end of next month, or at the beginning of the first month, the child will be born, this is my first child, and my mother doesn't know how much I look forward to it......"

As he spoke, there was a smile on Shen Xi's face.

Seeing Shen Xi's expression, Emperor Jingtai's eyes deepened slightly.

As soon as Shen Xi talked about Xu Yujian and the child in her womb, he couldn't stop talking, "...... Uncle Emperor, I still asked you for marriage in this marriage, and when the child is born, I have to ask you to take a good name, Uncle Emperor, you are the true dragon son of our Liang Dynasty, if you give the child a name, this child will be smooth for a lifetime......"

Emperor Jingtai couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.

“…… This is my first child, and the child is about to be born, so I have to stay by my daughter-in-law's side anyway, and fortunately, all the ministers of the court and the central government also had a holiday at that time......"

Shen Xi said that later, there was a look of anticipation on his face, and he looked a little dancing.

Emperor Jingtai paused slightly, "Brother Xi, you are now a member of the court, where can you still stay in the inner house every day, I don't know when, you need to contribute to national affairs." ”

Shen Xi was stunned.

He immediately said: "Uncle Emperor, being loyal to the country is not at all in conflict with guarding my daughter-in-law and waiting for the birth of the child, but at this time, I must stay by my daughter-in-law's side, we have already made an appointment to watch the birth of the child together!"

Shen Xi didn't hide the love between him and Xu Yujian at all.

They have been married for a year and a half, and during these years, the Duanjun King and the Duanjun Princess have been in love and harmony, which can be seen by anyone with long eyes.

Emperor Jingtai, naturally, will not be an exception.

Hearing Shen Xi say this, Emperor Jingtai's extremely majestic eyes picked up slightly, "That'...... If I have a big matter to hand over to you at this time, and I need you to leave Beijing for a while, it is very likely that I will not be able to spend this year in the capital, let alone watch your children be born by your daughter-in-law's side?"

Shen Xi was dumbfounded, and couldn't say anything for a long time.

"Uncle Emperor, this ......" Shen Xi smiled curtly for a while, "Otherwise, you think you should entrust this important matter to the rest of the court, right?"

This last sentence is righteous.

Emperor Jingtai glared at Shen Xi, "You kid, no one has ever dared to bargain in front of me, you have to come forward for this errand, you just have to do the errand boldly, your mother and your daughter-in-law, I will always order someone to take care of it!"

Shen Xi's heart was slightly cold, but nothing was revealed on his face.

Take care of the county lord of Anyang and Xu Yujian?

'M afraid......

Emperor Jingtai wants to take his mother and daughter-in-law to contain him, right?

"Uncle Emperor!" Shen Xi looked like a child, "I don't care, I don't want to take your errand, you can't ask me to be a person who doesn't believe in my words, right?"

In the end, I just rolled on the ground.

Emperor Jingtai was pestered by Shen Xi and was angry and funny, "How many people dream of wanting me to assign an errand, but you don't know what to do, I found something for you to do and you still shirk and resign, hurry up and stand up for me!"

Shen Xi then stood up with an aggrieved face.

He had a curious look on his face at this time, "Uncle Emperor, what errand do you want to assign to me?"

Emperor Jingtai was stunned first, and then said: "You also know what happened in Liaocheng, right?"

Shen Xi nodded.

Of course he should know that the cronies of Li Cheng, the general of Huwei, fought with the local soldiers in Liaocheng in Liaocheng, and smashed Mu Zong's immortal tablet by mistake, which directly aroused the anger of the people of Liaocheng, and saw that the situation was about to be suppressed, is there still anyone in the capital who doesn't know about it?

Emperor Jingtai then sighed again, "First the battle of Liaocheng was lost, and then something like this happened......"

A helpless look.

Shen Xi made a look of righteous indignation at this time, "Then Li Cheng's people are too hateful, Uncle Emperor, you sent them to Liaocheng to win the battle, but they not only lost, but also did this kind of thing, they even dared to smash Mu Zong's tablet, and my mother cried in the courtyard after knowing about it!"

Mu Zong is the grandfather of the county lord of Anyang, how can she not be sad when she hears this kind of thing.

"If I know who did such a rebellious thing, I will give him a good beating first!" Shen Xi said.
