Shen Xi was originally going home, but since the prince summoned him, Shen Xi had to go to Donghuamen. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In order to save effort, Shen Xi asked Ma Jiu to drive the car directly outside Dong'an Gate, he just wanted to get out of the car and go from Dongmen to Donghua Gate, who knew that when he opened the curtain, he saw the prince standing outside Dong'an Gate.

Shen Xi originally thought that the prince had sneaked out of the palace, but when he saw Zhu Houzhao wearing the crown prince and there were guards behind him, he knew that Emperor Hongzhi should know about it.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Shen Xi hurriedly got out of the carriage and stepped forward to salute.

Zhu Houzhao went up to help each other, with a smile on his face: "Mr. is exempt, what are we polite to the master and apprentice?" Hehe, I participated in the prisoner sacrifice ceremony with my father and the emperor, just over there at the noon gate, good guy, the head of the Tartar was sent into the palace one by one, and I was thrilled to see it, and cold sweat broke out...... Mr. Shen, you are really capable! ”

If he didn't know, he thought that this kid was scolding, but Shen Xi knew that Zhu Houzhao was complimenting him, but what he said was not so pleasant.

Zhu Houzhao is a little smart, but he is still lacking in hard work.

Shen Xi said: "The prince has an overreputation, and the lower officials just do what a courtier should do, and many times it is forced to do it!" ”

Zhu Houzhao laughed twice and said: "General Zhu's words, I heard it, the situation of several battles in Tumubao he told is very vivid and interesting, I want to hear Mr. tell me the detailed battle situation, so that I can tell it in front of my father, what does Mr. think?" ”

Perhaps it was the idea of personal heroism in his mind, Zhu Houzhao was very curious about Shen Xi's legendary experience, and came out to ask him in person.

Shen Xi asked curiously, "How did the prince get out of the palace?" ”

Zhu Houzhao said proudly: "I told my father, I want to ask Mr. Shen to go to the East Palace to tell me about the battle in Tumubao, but my father said that Mr. Shen is no longer a lecturer in the East Palace, and it will be unseemly to go to the East Palace, so I asked me to come to Donghua Gate to see you, I was idle and bored inside, so I went out of Dong'an Gate to wait." ”

"It's not a summons between gentlemen and ministers, it's just a necessary exchange between the gentleman and the student, if you can, sir, let's walk around together?"

Seeing that the surrounding guards suddenly looked like they were facing a great enemy, Shen Xi suddenly understood that Emperor Hongzhi's bottom line was Dong'anmen, and if he left the scope of the palace, he was afraid that he would commit a taboo. Shen Xi immediately said: "What does the prince want to ask, just ask each other here, the minister must know everything!" ”

Zhu Houzhao was a little unhappy, but he didn't force it, grabbed Shen Xi's arm and said, "Sir, then let's find a place to talk, it's not very convenient here, look at those guards, they are all staring!" ”

Shen Xi said in his heart, if you don't tell me here, where are you going? He immediately replied, "Actually...... If the prince really has any problems, he might as well wait for the ministers to sort out the front and back of the war, and write a book for the prince to consult, and the prince can consult it himself. If there are any problems, the minister can also explain the specific questions! ”

"This is good, this is good!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded hurriedly, "Of course, it would be better if Mr. could write a few more martial arts books for me by the way, Mr. gave me those books, and I took them back and read them for a day and a night...... Well, I've read it all! ”

Shen Xi knew that Zhu Houzhao was in the age of strong intellectual curiosity, and when he encountered a favorite book, he would definitely read it quickly.

Naturally, he can't keep up with the speed of reading books.

Shen Xi said helplessly: "Wechen has been busy with affairs these days, so I can only sort out the battle of Tumubao for the time being, if the prince still has other needs, he can only wait a few more days!" ”

Zhu Houzhao was a little unhappy in his heart, but finally nodded and said, "Then everything will be matched according to Mr.'s time, students just go back and wait for your good news, hey, it's actually not bad to go to Mr. Shen's house to have a look......

Zhu Houzhao was allowed to leave the palace by his father for the first time, and naturally his mood was very different, thinking that he could completely follow his own temperament.

Shen Xi couldn't let him do whatever he wanted.

Shen Xi saluted: "The prince, please go back, the minister will retire!" ”

Shen Xi found that although Zhu Houzhao made a name for "heroic" and "courageous" in the defense of Beijing, and many people in the court and the central government looked up to him, this kid was in the state of being fearless and heroic in the ignorant, and he accidentally won the glory in front of him, and at best he was still just a growing child.

Shen Xi didn't want to talk too much nonsense with Zhu Houzhao, so as not to be used as an inducement to the prince to do bad things.

After the dedication ceremony, Shen Xi will become the target of coveted by the people in the court for a long time, he knows that he must be cautious at this time, do not fall into the hands of others, it is best to just walk at home and on both sides of the six yamen every day, do not go to the court, and be an idle person.

Seeing the prince return to the palace, Shen Xi also returned home in a carriage, just as Hu Songyue came to the mansion with the spoils of war...... This time it was not given to Shen Xi, but it was used to plug the mouth of the prison army Zhang Yong.

Before, Zhang Yong was eager to ask Shen Xi for his share of the benefits, but Shen Xi pretended to be confused with him, and Zhang Yong had no choice. At this time, Shen Xi got the spoils of war, but he couldn't send them to the palace for the time being.

Shen Xi said to Hu Songyue, who came to hand over: "Old Hu, be careful when you return to Beijing, don't be complacent and arrogant when you think that you have made a little contribution." You know, everybody's all eyes on us right now! ”

Hu Songyue was very happy to hear Shen Xi classify himself and his soldiers as "we", and said: "Lord Shen reminds me that I know how to do it, you can rest assured, we will not lose your face!" ”

Shen Xi asked people to carry a few boxes into the house, Xie Yun'er was curious and went to the front yard, although there was a lot of uproar in the city before, but no one in the Shen family went to join in the fun.

Xie Yun'er asked, "Xianggong, how come someone has sent gifts?" ”

Shen Xi said: "Your Xianggong is in the court, and now he is about to become a fragrant bait in the eyes of others, before the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, more than 20,000 heads were sent into the city, and the contents of these boxes were the spoils captured by the army led by your Xianggong and me in several major battles in the northwest, which was regarded as the things that the Tatars had plundered and snatched back." Now that the soldiers have divided their parts, I am naturally not exempt from vulgarity! ”

Xie Yun'er asked nervously, "Can you accept it?" ”

Shen Xi sighed slightly: "Naturally, you can accept it, the share we received before don't have to spit out, as for this, it is prepared for the eunuch Zhang Yongzhang Gonggong, but let me give a gift to the eunuch of the inner servant, it is always not good-looking, I will see how to deal with it later!" ”

Xie Yun'er was confused when she heard this, and said: "Xianggong, the affairs of the imperial court, the concubine body doesn't understand, you arrange it yourself, and the concubine body does what you say!" ”

……

……

In the Forbidden City, Zhu Youzhu attended the ceremony of sacrificing prisoners and happily returned to the Qianqing Palace, accompanied by Xiao Jing, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and the main officials of the six ministries.

Before the end of the ceremony, the envoys of various countries were happy and convinced, and they knelt on the ground one after another, shouting long live the son of tomorrow, and for a time the prestige of Zhu Youzhu and the Ming court was in full swing in the vassal states.

With this as a foreshadowing, the next step is for the ministers to talk about their feelings about this ceremony.

In the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhu felt that his face had been recovered, his face was bloody, he sat behind the dragon case, and said happily:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time Yansui Governor Shen Qing's family has made great achievements, I think that since the beginning of the Taizu Dynasty, no one can stand out from the right, and he is a young talent, I am very relieved, I don't know how to reward Shen Qing's family?"

The emperor did not wait to ask for the opinions of the ministers below, and directly set the tone for rewarding Shen Xi, which in the eyes of many people, this matter was extremely inappropriate.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang both realized that they might have been targeted by Emperor Hongzhi, and they were too embarrassed to come out and pour cold water on this matter, so they could only stand by coldly, hoping that someone else would come out and intervene.
