Chapter 418: Farewell to the vassal king and comfort Luo Shen
That evening they dined together in the palace and then left the palace.
The next day, Xuanyuan Zichen and Shen Liuyue personally bid farewell to several princes.
In Shen Liuyue's eyes, it was clear that their appearance had not changed, but for some reason, they were just a little more loving.
Outside the capital, when the whole army set off, King Ning asked Xuanyuan Zichen and Shen Liuyue to call over, and finally took out a box from his side and handed it to them.
"This is a gift that was prepared for you a long time ago, but it has only been given now, so please don't dislike it."
Subsequently, King You and King Wei also gave gifts, although I don't know what they were, but these three small boxes were as heavy as gold in Shen Liuyue's eyes.
"Thank you three uncles, this road is far away, please be careful all the way."
Xuanyuan Zichen stood next to Shen Liuyue and bowed with Shen Liuyue.
The three princes sat in different sedan chairs, but their movements were almost the same.
With a casual wave of his hand, the curtain of the sedan car was lowered.
When you come, you are vigorous, but when you go, you are silent.
Except for the tens of thousands of soldiers who were surrounded, there was no other form.
It's just that in the sedan chairs of the three princes, there are gifts from the little emperor to them, and each of them has a jade pendant, which is engraved with their titles.
This was originally intended for them by the first emperor, but before it could be sent, the first emperor went, so the little emperor gave this to them on behalf of his father.
After all, the royal family is one, but some hatred cannot last too long.
In any case, this is the world of the Xuanyuan family after all.
"I didn't quite understand the minds of several princes before, but now, I suddenly understand."
Looking at Xuanyuan Zichen's side face, Shen Liuyue suddenly said such a thing.
Xuanyuan Zichen turned his head and put his cloak on Shen Liuyue: "The family and the country are in front, and they are in the back, this is the truth that every royal child must know, the external enemy is eyeing each other, how can the inside be a fight?"
"That's true, it's not too early, and we should go back."
This drama was vigorous, but it finally came to an end, and now what we have to face is what we have to face in the north.
Although the emperor of the east is ambitious, it is reasonable to say that it is impossible to suddenly launch it at this time, could it be that he is planning to do something?
Shen Liuyue's guess also confirmed Xuanyuan Zichen's conjecture on the side, he originally had such an idea.
"Summer Wind, I've dealt with him a few times, I barely know him, I don't have a complete grasp, it's impossible for him to make such a decision, just like he fought for the throne before."
Thinking of the people she had seen before, Shen Liuyue's memory became clearer and clearer.
"What you say makes sense, but now, I don't think it's time to say this, the top priority is to teach Xia Feng a lesson, so that he can't stretch out his hand at will and provoke the internal affairs of the Southern Qing Dynasty."
Holding Shen Liuyue's hand tightly, Xuanyuan Zichen's tone was extremely firm: "Don't worry, I know this matter in my heart, and I won't let anyone bully you, nor will I let anyone provoke the majesty of the royal family."
Looking at Xuanyuan Zichen's resolute face, Shen Liuyue didn't say anything in the end, really trusting a person should give him enough trust.
As expected, the uproar caused by this incident in the court did not stop.
Even if Xuanyuan Zichen left with a gloomy face that day, there were still many people scurrying.
Because it doesn't cost them, they feel it's worth it.
Xuanyuan Zichen and the little emperor understand this truth very well.
So for this matter, they firmly disagree.
Just when he was in the last dynasty, someone mentioned it again.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, now that the eastern border country is eyeing us, if we don't hand over the decision quickly, I'm afraid it will inevitably be a vicious battle."
The official in front of him looked upright, but in Xuanyuan Zichen's investigation, he received a large amount of bribes.
is serious on the surface, but it can't hide the greed in his bones.
Xuanyuan Zichen directly took out a fold from his sleeve and threw it down, just right, and threw it in front of this official.
"Lord Wang is so upright, why can't what he does be on the stage? In just half a year, you have received bribes as high as 100,000 taels, how did you do it with such an official position? ”
The fold was thrown down and spread out, just in front of the official, and the numbers inside were clearly imprinted in his eyes, making him pale.
There were also people in the court who knew about his style, but no one knew that the regent had found out so clearly.
Even when to give which sum is known clearly, if you think about it again, it will also be associated with Jinyiwei's body. The current leader of the Jinyi Guard is the regent's man.
Lord Wang immediately knelt down, trembling. There is no uprightness just now: "Please also ask the prince to forgive me, Weichen is confused." ”
If that's what everybody says about a bribe, what's the use of having a common law? Take off your hat and pull it down. "The picture is broadcast all over the world
In just eight words, it proves the consequences of Lord Wang.
In fact, if he hadn't just offended Xuanyuan Zichen, he wouldn't have ended up with such consequences.
It's a pity that it's hard to buy.
The little emperor sat on the throne and had no dissatisfaction with Xuanyuan Zichen's disposition.
"In the future, if there is another person like Lord Wang, we will investigate it to the end. The money given by the DPRK and the central government to the officials is not thin, and if you stretch out your hand again, it will inevitably be a little immoral. ”
During the reign of the first emperor, in order to prevent bribery from becoming too prevalent, he raised the level of officials according to the level of the capital, which also greatly strengthened the loyalty of officials to the imperial family.
Therefore, there is not much knowledge about receiving bribes, so Lord Wang is so ugly, which is different.
When the hundred officials knelt down, the time of Xuanyuan Zichen and the little emperor intersected for a moment, and finally separated, but they both knew each other.
Next, a few people trembled forward and agreed to this matter.
At the same time, he solemnly expressed his gratitude to Shen Liuyue and the regent.
But the more they talked, the more angry Xuanyuan Zichen became.
Just as Xuanyuan Zichen's lips were slightly raised, the little emperor knew that a storm was coming.
As expected, these officials had done not very clean things, and these things happened to be known by Xuanyuan Zichen, so several more lives were lost.
In the end, it was the British Duke who came forward, and the Duke of Anguo and Ning Guogong resolutely expressed their opposition to this matter.
"I, Nanqing, am a big country, how can I do such a thing? Not to mention that the person the emperor asks for is the regent princess, even if she is any woman like her, she cannot exchange a woman's life for the peace of a family and country. ”
Such a shameless thing is not something that a husband can do.
The status of these Wei princes in the DPRK can be said to be unmoving, and their votes have been approved by the whole court.
So the attitude of the little emperor spread.
"This matter is vetoed by all the officials of the Southern Qing Dynasty, if the emperor of the Eastern Linguo continues to provoke, the Southern Qing Dynasty does not mind starting a war on this, although I am young, I also know that the backbone of this empire cannot be bent."
The last sentence was even more recognized by the officials, and it may be at this moment that the trust of these officials in the little emperor has reached an unprecedented height.
This also laid the foundation for the reign of the little emperor after that.
The news reached the frontier with the holy decree, how could the summer monsoon start a war on this?
Pulled an official at random and punished him for the crime of deceiving and concealing it, and this joke came to an end.
In fact, both sides understand that this time the matter is just that Xia Feng wants to probe Xuanyuan Zichen's bottom line.
Now it seems that it is not without gains, as for the official who was beheaded, it happened to be at odds with the summer monsoon.
The outside matter has been dealt with, and all that remains is to appease Luo Shen's emotions.
Since he was knocked unconscious that day, Luo Shen hadn't taken a step out of the door for several days, and if it wasn't for Shen Xing to bring him food every day, he was afraid that he would starve to death inside.
Shen Liuyue knew that this kind of thing would definitely not be able to continue, and both the Eastern Lin Kingdom and the Southern Qing Kingdom had already shook hands and made peace.
What Luo Shen wanted to do was impossible to achieve in such a short period of time.
So, this time the dinner was not sent by Shen Xing, but by Xuanyuan Zichen and Shen Liuyue together.
When he first saw that it was the two of them, Luo Shen's face was a little embarrassed.
Eventually, he got out of the way and let the two in.
"You haven't even taken a step out of the door for the past few days, it's not your husband's doing."
As soon as Xuanyuan Zichen came in, he smelled the not-so-good smell of wine in the air, frowned slightly, walked over and opened all the windows, and the cool night breeze swept in, and after a while, the room smelled new.
Luo Shen sat opposite the two of them, looking at the two of them in plain clothes, and the faces of the two people who were on the right side were even more ugly.
"Why did my sister and the prince come over?"
Shen Liuyue took out all the meals in the food box and placed them in front of her one by one, looking at Luo Shen's somewhat gray face, her tone was a little bad.
"If I don't come, when will you be able to figure it out? Your Majesty's decision, Shen Xing should have told you, now that the domestic rebellion has just stopped, it is not suitable to start a war with the Donglin Kingdom, what do you think of this matter? ”
Luo Shen's face was entangled for a while, and finally slowly let go.
"I know it's not the right time, I'm just a little reluctant, but even so, I respect it."
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Zichen felt a little more comfortable, and finally he was not hopelessly stupid.
"It's only fitting to be able to think like this, Xia Feng wants to teach you to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, if I hadn't put you in Liangzhou before, I'm afraid you would have already lost your life."
"Now that you have finally survived, the most important thing is to develop your own power, and one day you will be able to take revenge."
Xuanyuan Zichen inspired Luo Shen so much, the difficulty of achieving this matter is extraordinary, but as long as you work hard, there will always be hope.
