Chapter 50: The First Reign of the Palace

The first day of Shen Ruoyu's early dynasty was also the ninth day of the seventh month of the first year of Jianwen, the fourth day of King Yan's army.

He rode to Xihuamen, parked his horse outside, and ran to the Qianqing Palace. Zhu Yunwen had already finished dressing, and when he saw him come in, he said with a smile:

"Pretty punctual. In two days, I'll have someone make you a uniform, it's too homely now. ”

He went out of the Qianqing Palace and got into the sedan chair. Shen Ruoyu followed to the side and walked to the Wenhua Palace. The civil and military officials have already arrived, and they are standing neatly on the main hall, quietly waiting for the Son of Heaven to go to the hall. Zhu Yunwen entered the main hall, ascended the throne from the central steps, and sat down upright. Shen Ruoyu consciously stood under the jade steps on the left side of the throne.

The ministers shouted long live. Shen Ruoyu thought that the early dynasty would re-discuss the candidate for the chief general of the counterinsurgency army. To his surprise, Zhu Yunwen came up and asked:

"Mr. Fang, has Mr. already made a plan for the implementation of the change of the Ida system?"

Fang Xiaoru came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has drafted a plan, please look at it." ”

He took out a notebook from his sleeve and raised it to his forehead with both hands, but he didn't step up. A eunuch on the right side of Zhu Yunwen went down the steps, took the notebook from Fang Xiaoru's hand, turned around and walked back to the edge of the throne, and presented the notebook to the imperial case.

Zhu Yunwen opened the recital, and the recital was very long, and there were more than a dozen consecutive pages of dense text. He skimmed through it, folded it again, put it back on the table, and said with a smile:

"I'll look at it in the morning. Mr. Fang has worked hard for this matter. ”

Fang Xiaoru bowed and said, "Your Majesty is serious. It's just a matter of the minister's business. His Majesty was determined to go back to the past, and a few months ago he reformed the official system and changed the names of officials of various ministries and departments, which has been quite effective. His Majesty has never been satisfied with this, and the deep reputation is only a superficial thing, and the realization of the rule of the ancients in the world must be investigated for its internal institutional roots. The Jingtian system of the Western Zhou Dynasty is the foundation for realizing the ideal of people's prosperity, noble world style, political stability, and peace in the four seas. Now His Majesty intends to restore the Western Zhou Jingtian system, for which the anointing is followed by the sundial, and the night is sleeping, and I am not far from realizing the rule of the ancients. ”

Shen Ruoyu couldn't help frowning, and looked at Fang Xiaoru with some incredulity. He grew so big, he didn't read much, and he didn't read much, and this was the first time he heard such political opinions, and the great tomorrow who lives today will be so obsessed with retro, to the point of almost madness, he actually intends to restore the Western Zhou Jingtian system more than 2,000 years ago. And the modern officials of the court under him even thought that this was a wise and good thing, so they drafted a plan for it. Above the court, all the officials were silent; He didn't know if everyone was on the same page.

Zhu Yunwen looked at Fang Xiaoru with admiration and retreated into the column, looked at the other officials, and asked:

"Ladies and gentlemen, is there anything else to play?"

Qi Tai came out and said: "Your Majesty, the former general He Fu has returned to the court, and he is now waiting for the announcement outside the Fengtian Gate." ”

Zhu Yunwen sat up straight happily, a hint of blush on his pale cheeks. "What, General He has returned? Hurry up and announce in. ”

The ministers still faced the Son of Heaven, bowed their heads, and none of them looked back at the outside of the hall. Shen Ruoyu looked at the palace gate expectantly. In the distance, a general dressed in a whole body walked majestically to the door of the main hall, went up the steps of His Majesty, walked into the main hall, walked straight to the front of the hall, half-knelt down, and said in a voice like a bell:

"He Fu, the former general and governor of the conquest, visited the Son of Heaven. Long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”

Zhu Yunwen said: "General He, please hurry up." ”

"Long live thanks." He Fu said, standing up. This is a middle-aged general in his fifties, short and sturdy, with ringed eyes, neat lips and beards, and a short, shapely goat's mustache on his chin. Wearing a red tasseled helmet, suffix covering the head, wearing a red battle jacket, a red scarf with a shoulder knot, a scaly soft armor on the outside, a crotch armor to protect the heart, a waist leather with arms and waist, a lower body knee armor with hanging legs, a red crotch shirt on the outside, and soft leather combat boots on the feet, which more and more set off the red light on his face, and he was full of ambition.

Shen Ruoyu suddenly had an impulse to see what kind of heroic and awe-inspiring general style Xu Huizu would have when he wore this outfit. He could see that if he took off his battle armor, He Fu's bearing was far inferior to that of the eldest son of the King of Zhongshan, Lord Wei Guogong. After all, He Fu was born in the army, and little by little he accumulated merit to the position of the governor, while Xu Huizu was born the eldest son of the general, and now he is the governor of the Chinese army, and the first person in the five armies under the command of the great tomorrow.

Zhu Yunwen said: "General He traveled far and wide, worked hard, was wise and brave, pacified the Luchuan rebels, and relieved the worries of the imperial court on the Yunnan frontier, which is really a great contribution to my Ming Dynasty." ”

He Fudao: "Long live the prize." He Fu can be mediocre, and the merit of this battle completely depends on the grace of Long Live Heaven, and the command of General Hou Mu of Xiping is like a god. He Fu didn't have an inch. ”

Zhu Yunwen said: "General He is too modest, I must reward General He and all the soldiers who have returned triumphantly." Spread my will, the governor of the governor He Fu talked about the merits of the governor and the governor of the same knowledge, rewarded 500 ingots, and preached the five armies for three days. ”

After He Fu thanked him, the Son of Heaven said: "General He has returned from afar, and he has worked hard all the way, so please rest for two days." The general will take a leave of absence before taking other military duties. ”

After the end of the early dynasty, Zhu Yunwen called Fang Xiaoru and accompanied him to Wenyuan Pavilion to consult the literature on the Jingtian system. The two of them discussed enthusiastically and devotedly. Shen Ruoyu knew that he couldn't interject, and he really felt a headache listening to a large number of public and private fields on the side, so he asked for the permission of the Son of Heaven, stood outside the door and guarded, breathing the fresh air outside, and felt a lot more comfortable.

There was a team of Imperial Forest Army standing outside Wenyuan Pavilion, and when they saw Shen Ruoyu coming out, they couldn't stop peeking at him. Shen Ruoyu didn't realize for a moment that these people were the soldiers of Yulin Guard, and his subordinates thought that they were just curious about the new imperial guards, and didn't pay attention to them. He stood in front of Wenyuan Pavilion for a while, feeling bored, and sat down on the white marble steps in front of the door.

At this moment, a man walked towards this place from a distance. As soon as the surrounding Imperial Guards saw the man, they immediately stood upright; Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, and Lan Yu appeared, probably nothing more than that. Shen Ruoyu was a little strange, staring at that person from afar.

It was a medium-sized person, although he was dressed in civilian clothes, he had an innate military spirit, between his steps, clean and neat, and calm, Shen Ruoyu could see at a glance that his martial arts were not shallow. The man approached, about thirty years old, with a slender face, and his facial features were light and easy-going, but there was a kind of disproportionate majesty in his eyes, and he walked up to him, glanced around the soldiers standing guard, and asked as if he were just very casually:

"Last night, two people went to the rockery to drink and gamble, which two?"

The two soldiers obediently stood up. The man looked at them, and in a mocking tone, said:

"It's fun, huh? Do you two think that no one passes by the Imperial Garden Bridge at night, and no one knows if it is guarded or not? ”

The two soldiers hung their heads low and said nothing.

The man said, "Fortunately, it was me who went, and if it was an Assassin, should I have hung you upside down at the gate of the camp, and each of you with eighty lashes, and then took your head?" ”

The two soldiers hurriedly lay down on the ground: "My subordinates are guilty, please punish my lord!" ”

The man said coldly: "After the change of guard, I will be consciously sent to the confinement room, and I will come out tomorrow." I'll look it up, don't try to fool around. ”

The two soldiers chattered repeatedly: "The subordinates obey the order, but the subordinates don't dare." ”

"Get up. Stand guard! Don't delay today's task any longer. ”

Seeing the two subordinates stand up and return to their posts to stand up, the man walked to the front of the steps, looked at Shen Ruoliao, and asked:

"Whose furry child is this? Sitting here casually, do you understand the rules, why doesn't anyone care? ”

Shen Ruoxiao sat there motionless, looking at the man with cold eyes. A soldier next to him whispered to the man:

"This is the newly appointed close guard of the Imperial Palace, the commander of the Yulin Guard, and Shen Ruoliao, the guest of honor of Cheng'an."

The man smiled in surprise and disdainfully: "It turned out to be Lord Cheng'an Yibin, the lower official is really disrespectful." - No, if you are the commander of Yu Linwei, then we should be colleagues, and we can't call ourselves subordinate to you anyway. How good is that? ”

Shen Ruoyu said coldly: "Your Excellency is Lord Dong?" ”

He guessed right. Dong Yuan smiled arrogantly: "Adults don't dare to be. Dong will work with Lord Shen in the future, and please take care of him. ”

When he first arrived, Shen Ruoyu didn't want to get married to his future colleagues from the beginning. He politely said:

"I don't understand anything, and I ask Commander Dong to give me a lot of advice."

Dong Yuan sneered: "Lord Shen said that he laughed, what kind of skills are adults, you are Shen Rufeng's son, just bend your little finger, and the entire Yulin Erwei will turn over in front of you." It's a great blessing to have you as the Son of Heaven's close guard, otherwise we would all have to go home and pick up the baby. ”

Shen Ruoyu didn't bother to be serious with him, stood up, and said politely:

"I'm sorry, I'm going back to Banzai, I'm missing."

"Lord Shen, please stay," Dong Yuan stopped him and looked at him defiantly. "Since the Son of Heaven is studying, it is a sin to stir up his interest. It's better for you and me to learn from each other, and from now on, who should this Yulin Erwei listen to, the brothers can also see it clearly, so as not to make mistakes. ”

It is really a mountain that cannot tolerate two tigers. Shen Ruoyu thought for a while and said:

"If this is the purpose of the Lords, why do you want to make a big fuss? The second guard of Yulin was brought out by an adult, so he naturally listened to the adult's words in everything. Even if it is to listen to me, I have always been by Banzai's side, and I can't do anything. This division of labour has been established. ”

Dong Yuan said: "What, Lord Shen doesn't want to give me this face?" ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "I disrespected Lord Dong, please forgive me." ”

Dong Yuan said: "You look down on me, right? ”

Shen Ruoyu said coldly: "I don't want to hurt the harmony around the Son of Heaven." ”

He pulled his legs and walked towards Wenyuan Pavilion, but ran into Zhu Yunwen and Fang Xiaoru walking out. Dong Yuan immediately knelt down on one leg and said hello to the Son of Heaven.

Zhu Yunwen smiled: "I heard you arguing. If there are few, you might as well compare with Dong Pingshan. ”

"Your Majesty?"

Zhu Yunwen said: "I heard the first emperor say that in the military camp, mutual competition not only does not hurt harmony, but also is the most important thing to enhance friendship and unity." If not, you don't have to worry about that. ”

Fang Xiaoru also smiled: "As the saying goes, 'if you don't fight, you don't know each other'." ”

Shen Ruoliao sighed: "Okay, since that's the case, Ruoliao might as well obey his fate if he is respectful." He threw the autumn wind to the ground.

Seeing this, Dong Yuan smiled slightly, and also threw his portable sword to the ground, and then took two steps under his feet, and slashed his chest.

In all fairness, the Imperial Forest, as the most combat-effective army, is quite powerful. Shen Ruoyu degraded the Imperial Forest Army to worthless in front of the Son of Heaven, purely so that he could get the position of close guard. After all, the role of the military is reflected on the battlefield, never as a whole, not how strong the individuals within it are. Thirty years of Chengping under the Great Tomorrow, the politics are clear, the Jianwen Emperor is benevolent and gentle, and the Imperial Forest Army guarding the palace is still a little negligent, otherwise Shen Ruoyu is invincible in the world, and it is impossible for him to fight against a well-trained soldier alone. And through the performance of the soldiers around him and Dong Yuan just now, he can also understand that the governance of the Imperial Forest Army is actually decent and decent. At present, Dong Yuan's martial arts also confirmed that this army is definitely not as wasteful as Shen Ruoyu's exaggeration, and it should not be underestimated.

He felt that Dong Yuan's strength was almost comparable to Luo Yang. He never made a move, and gradually retreated to the front of the copper vat used for water storage and fire prevention in front of the hall, and for the first time he stretched out his hand, grabbed Dong Yuan's arm with a punch, bowed lightly, and his body flashed lightly to the side, and Commander Dong plunged into the big water tank, and splashed water on the ground with a bang.

Shen Ruoyu suddenly realized that he had messed things up. This hurt Dong Yuan's face too much, and this colleague will not be able to deal with it again in the future. He had an idea, and he was in a hurry, and immediately jumped into the water tank, and the guards watching the battle on the side, Zhu Yunwen and Fang Xiaoru were all taken aback.

Shen Ruoyu was soaked, wiped the water off his face, and said to Dong Yuan, who was also embarrassed in the vat:

"I said I didn't want to compare with you, I didn't mean to make it like this, I offended, Brother Dong."

Dong Yuan looked at him in surprise, at this moment, he just wanted to get angry and didn't get angry. He saw the sincerity and apology in Shen Ruoxiao's eyes, and was stunned for a long time, and finally couldn't help but be funny, and laughed.

With laughter, a stone fell to the ground in Shen Ruoyu's heart. He stood up, stretched out his hand to Dong Yuan and smiled:

"Get out; Stay a little longer, long live for fear that you will suspect that we are drowning, and you will send someone to salvage us. ”

Dong Yuan happily grabbed him, and the two of them jumped out of the vat together, shook off the water on their bodies, and returned to the Son of Heaven, both a little embarrassed.

Zhu Yunwen smiled kindly: "Don't talk, let's go change your clothes first." ”

Dong Yuan readily agreed; Shen Ruoyu was a little hesitant, he had no clothes to change, and it was not easy to talk to the Son of Heaven. Dong Yuan saw his embarrassment and said empathetically:

"Let's go, Ruo Xiao, I just have two sets of clean clothes there, if you don't dislike it, change them first."

The Son of Heaven granted a leave, and Shen Ruoyu followed Dong Yuan to his barracks, while secretly sighing in his heart, the phrase "don't fight, don't know each other" is really a wise saying, he once thought that fighting at any time would only mess things up and get out of control, so although his own martial arts are supreme, he has always avoided things such as martial arts competitions, and never thought that a short martial arts fight would turn into a jade silk in an instant, and since then he has exchanged for a neck-to-neck friend.

After changing into dry clothes, Dong Yuan took him around the camp of Yulin Erwei, and said to him:

"When my father was alive, he was the commander of Yu Linwei. At the age of sixteen, I passed the Governor's Office examination and entered the Imperial Forest Army; After my father's death, I passed the examination and inherited his position, and was later promoted to two levels before I became the commander I am today. When I was a child, my father used to bring me to the camp to play, and since I have been growing up in the army, I am very familiar with these soldiers and have a deep affection. When you first arrived, none of the soldiers recognized you, and it was difficult for them to listen to you, and you were so young that I was afraid that I would not be angry with them. But it doesn't matter, they always listen to me, so if you have any problems, you can come to me. ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "Actually, I can't do anything, I have to be by the side of the Son of Heaven all the time every day, and I don't have much thought about the affairs of Yulin Erwei." ”

Dong Yuan said: "This is not difficult, take your time, you will adjust the time, and you will get started quickly." According to the rules, Yulin Erwei conducts a training camp every ten days, and tomorrow is the first time this month, and you have just taken office, so you must come over to show your face. In addition, the Son of Heaven puts you in charge of the second guard of Yulin, mainly because of your skills, so you must show the soldiers to open their eyes and know that they are still far behind, so that they can also convince you. ”

Shen Ruoyu smiled: "Then I have to ask Brother Dong to help take care of it." ”

"It's easy to do," Dong Yuan said, "the brothers are very righteous, as long as you have real skills, real people, and trustworthy, it is still easy to get their support." ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "If I can stand firm, from now on, I will only be responsible for practicing martial arts, and I won't do anything else, it's better for Brother Dong to be in charge." ”

Dong Yuan smiled: "Well, I'll talk about it then." Who knows what you're hiding. I'm ready to be virtuous at any time. ”

Shen Ruoyu returned to Zhu Yunwen's side, stood aside to watch the Son of Heaven have lunch, accompanied him back to the Qianqing Palace for a lunch break, and then he could eat by himself. In the afternoon, Zhu Yunwen met with Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Lian Zining, Zhuo Jing and other scholars. Probably discussed in advance, these ministers all thought that the restoration of the well field system was really inappropriate, please think twice. Zhu Yunwen was not very happy and asked them why they didn't say a word in the early days; replied that everyone's thoughts were on the Yanwang rebels, and no one was mentally prepared, so they couldn't clear their minds for a while. Zhu Yunwen listened to them for a while, and he was a little depressed because he didn't have an appetite for himself, so he said that I understood, let me think about it again, and all the Aiqing should also go back and think about it again, and sent the ministers away.

At this time, Zhu Yunwen had time to be alone with Shen Ruoyu. He sat in front of the imperial case in the Qianqing Palace, approved the chapter for a while, sighed, raised his head, and looked at Shen Ruoliao.

"You've been standing all day, you're tired, aren't you? Sit back and relax. ”

Shen Ruoxiao was slightly stunned. "No, isn't that what I'm supposed to do?"

Zhu Yunwen smiled apologetically: "Actually, I don't need to have a close guard at all, the palace is very safe." However, I often hope that there will be someone by my side to accompany me and chat with me, and not talk about political affairs and public affairs as soon as I open my mouth. I'm actually a very lazy emperor. ”

He looked around, got up, and walked to the warm pavilion on the east side. Shen Ruoyu followed, and the Son of Heaven sat down at the coffee table, pointed to the Taishi chair opposite, and said:

"You can sit down too, if you stand like this any longer, I will be tired from looking at it."

Shen Ruoyu thanked him and sat down upright. Zhu Yunwen said to the eunuch standing on the side:

"Go and call the mother and the prince."

The eunuch took the command.

Zhu Yunwen asked, "Now, Ruoxiao, let me listen to your opinion." King Yan raised troops, the counterinsurgency army of the imperial court, who do you think should be in charge? ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "My opinion was vetoed by you yesterday in the court. ”

Zhu Yunwen was slightly stunned; He asked weakly:

"You also think that Wei Guogong should be in charge?"

Shen Ruoyu nodded. "Your Majesty, I know what you're worried about, you're worried that Wei Guogong won't be able to pass the hurdle of his own sister in the end, right? There is no need to bear this heart at all. Wei Guogong treats public and private very clearly, and you should believe in the bloodline of King Zhongshan. In addition, I don't agree with what Zhuo Shilang said. If King Yan and Wei Guogong meet each other on the battlefield, they must not give in to each other, and no one will be polite. And Princess Yan will definitely stand with King Yan resolutely. It will be a fierce battle, but in my opinion, if there is only one person in the court who can stop the king of Yan, this person is the Duke of Wei. ”

Zhu Yunwen sighed: "My worries about Wei Guogong are not here. I sent him to Beiping to take command, so that the rear of Beiping would be strong and his actions would be foolproof. He was good, and easily let King Yan raise troops to capture Beiping. What did he do? Is he incompetent, or is he secretly helping King Yan at all? The descendants of King Zhongshan, how can their ability and loyalty be greatly reduced? ”

Shen Ruoxiao was slightly stunned. "Your Majesty, you ...... What is the meaning? ”

Zhu Yunwen said: "That's what I said, don't take it to heart." Wei Guogong is the first military minister in the court, and the Xu family has always been loyal, and I will not doubt his loyalty if he makes occasional mistakes. It's just that he inherited the talent and loyalty of King Zhongshan, but unfortunately he did not have the caution of King Zhongshan. King Zhongshan has been by the side of the first emperor for decades, and he has not missed a word, made a wrong move, or taken a wrong step. Therefore, although the first emperor killed the heroes and generals, King Duzhong was able to maintain a good beginning and a good end, unlike Liang Guogong, Song Guogong and others. ”

"Therefore, the king of Zhongshan died early, but he was too tired to live." Shen Ruo said unabashedly.

Zhu Yunwen was a little surprised, thought about it, and sighed: "It also makes sense." Alas. ”

"There is another person," Shen Ruoyu said, "Your Majesty, do you remember Mei Yinmei's concubine?" ”

Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment. "You say, let him go on the expedition?"

Shen Ruoyu said: "Didn't he receive Emperor Gao's secret edict?" ”

Zhu Yunwen was taken aback again. "How do you know?"

Shen Ruoyu smiled gently: "Then there is no need to say, because King Yan knows." Mei Horse is Emperor Gao's favorite horse, his father Mei Sizu guarded the Huai'an area, very good at leading troops, and later defected to Emperor Gao, and is also one of the founding heroes. Mei Yuma is now the chief military officer of Huai'an, and he is also well-known for leading troops, and he also has a certain prestige in the army. Of course, I also listened to what King Yan said, whether it is appropriate or not, you still have the final say. ”

Zhu Yunwen thought about it and shook his head: "Mei Yin is a loyal minister, but he has never made great achievements, and it is difficult to establish prestige in the army. ”

"Who else could there be? All I know is what blessings remain. Shen Ruoyu said, "However, I think that although He Fu is also capable, he does not have the spirit of a general, and he is far inferior to Wei Guogong." ”

"He Fu can't do it either," Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said, "He's just a governor and a fellow knower, and in the Battle of Luchuan, he was only a temporary general, because Mu Chun died of a sudden illness, and there was no one to replace him." Besides, the rebellion of the people in the frontier is just a rabble, which is definitely different from the rebellion of King Yan. ”

"It's so troublesome," Shen Ruoyu sighed, "Your Majesty, there is another way; When Wei Guogong comes back, you can ask him to recommend himself. It's just that he definitely won't recommend himself. Therefore, His Majesty still has to see clearly whether the person he recommended is better than him. ”

"Well, I can only ask him." Zhu Yunwen said. "By the way, do you want to go to war?"

Shen Ruoyu shook his head and smiled: "I don't want to." ”

"Why?"

"Rushed to King Yan, do I kill him or not?"

"Of course you can't kill it," Zhu Yunwen said, "In any case, you can't hurt the life of the Fourth Emperor Uncle and make me bear the charge of killing my uncle." ”

Shen Ruoyu looked at him in surprise: "Do you plan to order the three armies like this?" ”

"Yes, before leaving the division, I must clearly order the three armies not to harm the four emperor uncles."

"Then you're doomed, Your Majesty." Shen Ruoyu said: "On the battlefield, there is still human affection, and there is no reason to win." You tell him, he doesn't tell you. ”

Zhu Yunwen said resolutely: "No, I'd rather make the Four Emperor Uncles lose me, I must not lose the Four Emperor Uncles, I have already thought about it." ”

Zhu Yunwen rarely said a resolute word. Although Shen Ruoyu was not surprised, he was still very surprised, even a little ridiculous. He didn't say it, though.

The eunuch's shouting came from the entrance of the Qianqing Palace: "The queen mother has arrived-"

Shen Ruoyu hurriedly stood up, watched Empress Ma lead a little boy into the Dongnuan Pavilion, knelt down in front of the emperor, and bowed:

"The concubine greets Your Majesty."

The little boy also lay on the ground timidly, and said in a milky voice: "My son asks my father for peace." ”

Zhu Yunwen asked them to get up, pointed to Shen Ruoyu and introduced:

"This is His Royal Highness King Yan's Cheng'an Yibin, I have ordered him to be a close guard, he can lead troops when he enters and exits, and at the same time he is also the commander of Yulin Guard, and now all security matters in the palace are in his hands."

Empress Ma has seen Shen Ruoliao, three months ago when Shen Ruoliao broke into the Qianqing Palace, he was frightened, and he had already heard of the name of His Royal Highness King Yan Cheng'an Yibin, and now he saw that the Son of Heaven actually appointed him as a personal guard, in charge of the entire palace Imperial Forest Army, secretly surprised, but it was not easy to say anything, so he bowed his head and saluted:

"There's Lord Lao Shen."

Shen Ruoxiao hurriedly returned the salute and said: "The mother's etiquette is heavy, if there is nothing to do." ”

Queen Ma is not very beautiful, but she is very demure and quiet, docile and respectful, weak willow and windy, and she is also very frugal in dress, not as glamorous as the queen in Shen Ruoliao's imagination, far from being as beautiful as Princess Shu. The little prince Zhu Wenkui looks very similar to Zhu Yunwen, not only in appearance, but also in the same weak and shy personality, like a little girl, holding her mother's hand tightly and not daring to let go.

Zhu Yunwen hugged the child, and said innocuous words to Shen Ruoyu for a while, including asking him about his life with the county lord, asking him to be as casual as at home in the capital, don't be polite at any time, just ask him if you need anything, outside the court, they are a family, and there is no longer a distinction between monarchs and ministers.

The dinner of the Son of Heaven and the Empress was served, and Zhu Yunwen finally let Shen Ruoliao leave the palace and go home.

After this day's business, Shen Ruoyu didn't feel it at the time, and only when he got home did he feel tired. He rarely has this kind of time when he stands all day, and he needs to concentrate anytime and anywhere, his ears and eyes are clear, and he thinks twice before he speaks, and his brain is not light. After eating the delicious meal made by Nangong Qiu, drinking a pot of tea, feeling a little soothed, he sat down and played two tunes on the flying star. Nangong Qiu sang to the tune on the side, which soon made Shen Ruoyu completely relaxed. He felt that it was very pleasant to live like this day by day.
