Chapter 67: Guarding the Tomb
Although he had learned the rules, because it was the first time he came, Shen Jinyu didn't know where to stand after saluting. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When she was hesitating, whether to stand where she was, or to reach the end of the officials on both sides, Emperor Yongjia spoke: "Everyone, you may not know this Lord Shen, but you must have heard of her grandfather's name, Shen Zheng. ”
The middle-aged man standing behind Han Dong said, "The emperor summoned us and said that there is something important to discuss, for this reason?" In my humble opinion, this matter is inappropriate. ”
The man who was standing opposite them and the leader also agreed: "No matter whose granddaughter she is, she is also a woman, besides, I heard that Shen Zheng still has a male grandson serving in the army, and if you want to be reused, it should be a male grandson, where will it be her turn?" ”
Shen Jinyu heard some small voices of approval around him, and remembered some rumors he had heard before, Emperor Yongjia really had limited influence in the court, and he hadn't even begun to say what position it was......
Han Tong said leisurely: "If everyone thinks that her qualifications are incompatible, and Shen Zheng's male grandson is serving in the army, then according to this, the heavy responsibility of sacrificing and guarding the tomb for the first emperor should be handed over to other important ministers?" ”
The surroundings suddenly quieted down, the heavy task I said before, going around such a big bend, is actually a false duty like guarding the tomb?
Guarding the tomb is definitely not a good errand, but if the emperor chooses it for his reasons, there is no way to shirk it anyway.
Other things can still be debated, but the word loyalty and filial piety can't.
The time of guarding the mausoleum can be long or short, and if you can't get it right, you will have to bury your whole life in that place.
Emperor Yongjia said: "I recently thought of the first emperor, and I couldn't sleep at night. Thinking that my grandfather may be a little lonely, I hope that someone can accompany him to the imperial tomb on my behalf. ”
At this time, Han Yu said slowly: "You may not know, this Lord Shen is the last official appointed by the first emperor when he was alive, and he went to Lingnan to worship for the first emperor, Shen Zheng is the confidant of the first emperor and his capable minister, and it is probably the most suitable for his descendants to guard the mausoleum." ”
There was silence again, after all, this kind of risky little thing, there is no point in winning, and it is not cost-effective to have to take one of your own people if you lose.
Emperor Yongjia said: "Since there is no objection, then tomorrow I will issue an edict to trouble Lord Shen for this hard trip." ”
When Shen Jinyu didn't have time to say the last sentence, the conversation decided her future journey.
Different from the previous rush to Lingnan, this time not only left her time to fast and bathe, but also made a big announcement to the world.
That night, in the dead of night, Shen Jinyu had already slept, and the palace where she fasted was big and deserted, and even the palace maids were scarce.
She lay on the bed, looked at the oil lamp, the wick burst out of a small spark, listened to the sound of the guards coming and going, slowly closed her eyes, after fasting, she was going to go to the imperial tomb, like last time, when she would be able to return to Beijing is still unknown, there is a chance to be in it, instead of watching things happen, powerless to change, she is no longer worried in her heart.
Half-asleep and half-awake, it seems that someone pushed her, wearing a black night suit, only revealing a pair of eyes, is it Sangtian?
Shen Jinyu was a little surprised, and quickly got up and asked, "How did you get in?" ”
The moonlight was not very bright, Sang Tian took off the triangular scarf on his face, he still couldn't see it very clearly, and he could only see him say with a slight smile: "I'm here to take you away." ”
"Let's go?" Shen Jinyu asked, "Where are you going?" I'm going to the Imperial Tomb soon. ”
Sang Tian said: "I'm here to take you away." Maybe you have a chance to return to the capital when you go to the imperial tomb, but if it weren't for my cowardice that made you disappointed in me, you wouldn't have had to take this risk again. It's easy to talk about other places, but you don't know how bitter the imperial tomb is. There is always another way to do our business, and I can't bear to see you so bitter. ”
Shen Jinyu's heart warmed, and her eyes were slightly red.
Grandfather, Parents, Cheng Xuan...... It's just him, it's only Kuwata......
He just couldn't bear it, not because of her maternal grandfather, not because she was useful, she didn't have any calculations, just for her, and she was grateful.
If you go back a few years, when I first met her in Beijing, there was such a person who was unconditionally kind to her, she would not hesitate to follow him, escape from the things that scared her, and hide in a place where no one knew her.
But now......
Although he thought that her career would not be so smooth, he understood the reason, but when he knew that Shen Jinyu was going to the imperial tomb, the appearance floating in front of his eyes was that she was in the deep mountain mansion, skinny and white-haired.
If he was willing to ask more questions that day, or if Shen Jinyu would be willing to tell him everything, she wouldn't have to make a desperate effort to become an official, and she wouldn't have to encounter the matter of guarding the mausoleum. He was the one who hurt her.
Sang Tian was originally a righteous person, and when he heard this arrangement, he wanted to take her away even if he had arranged the money and the house.
Shen Jinyu looked out of the room, then pulled Sang Tian to the bed, put down the bed curtain before whispering: "I won't leave, I don't want to exchange the anxiety of the next few decades for your temporary peace of mind." Don't run away anymore, you and I both know in our hearts why you know all this, and why I can become an official again! ”
Of course, Sang Tian understood, a person he didn't understand anymore, how Han Pei's matter was so good, he would know when he needed to know.
Now everyone is doing their own thing, and the dragons have no leader, so they simply add more people to come in and muddy the muddy waters even more.
Sang Tian said: "But this process, like practicing Gu, most of the Gu worms end up with no bones. ”
Shen Jinyu said firmly: "Today I am a Gu worm and am placed in the Gu, how can you know that I will not be able to fight against the master as a Gu King one day." ”
This feeling reminded Kuwata of when he single-handedly founded Pingkangfang many years ago, he was also so high-spirited.
Shen Jinyu didn't wait for him to answer, and instructed: "Since you are going to the imperial tomb, you can help me find out what information is available for the imperial tomb, and the tomb robbers must also have it." Prepare a good maid for me, and if you can, send Yuheng to me. ”
Sang Tian said: "You don't understand, the matter of guarding the tomb can be long or short, and the imperial tomb is in the extreme north of the Great Zhou, and the water drips into ice all year round, and your body is weak, in case you ......"
Shen Jinyu didn't say anything, Sang Tian was concerned about it, she was a new Gu worm, how could she stay in the imperial tomb all the time?
She got out of bed and went to the dresser to apply rouge on her lips, took out a handkerchief in her arms, and printed a deep lip print, she handed the handkerchief to Sang Tian and said: "If I send you a letter from the imperial tomb, the letter with my lip print is true." ”
