Chapter 617: The Shen family is crowned king
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and as soon as Shen Guogong's holiday arrived, he took his son and grandson to the court.
In the early dynasty, the emperor asked Li Quanfu to read out the canonization of Shen Guogong as the king of the county and the title of Jingwu in front of hundreds of civil and military officials. The old lady of Jin Shen is the princess of Jingwu County. The throne has been inherited for three generations, the eldest son Shen Zhendong is the son of the county king, and the eldest daughter-in-law is the concubine of the Jin family of the Tong family. The second son Shen Zhennan and the third son Shen Zhenbei were both awarded the title of general of Zhenguo, and their official residence was a product.
This decree shocked the Manchu Dynasty.
Many ministers jumped out to oppose it, and were beaten back by the emperor with a few words. "Do Zhong Aiqing think that the credit of the Jingwu County Wang family is insufficient, or do they think that my decision is wrong?"
The ministers were quiet all of a sudden, the credit of the King of Jingwu County's family, who dares to say that it is insufficient? As for the emperor's decision, they dare to question it?
So after the next court, the holy decree of the palace reward has not yet come down, and those who congratulate him have come to the door one after another.
Shen Guogong, no, from now on, he will be renamed King Shen Jun. King Shen Jun is a cheerful person, and he directly asked people to open the door, no matter who came to congratulate him, he was invited to come into the house.
For a time, the Shen family was in the city.
Not long after, Gonggong Cao came with a reward, and along with the reward, there was also a plaque inscribed by the emperor for the county king's mansion, as well as the court clothes and crowns of the king of Shen and the princess of the county.
King Shen Jun took all the people in his family out to receive the reward.
After Gonggong Cao finished reading the list of rewards, he hurriedly helped King Shen and Princess Jun up, and kept congratulating him. After watching the people remove the plaque of the Dingguo Mansion and replace it with the plaque of the Jingwu County Palace, they took the thank you gift from the Shen family, and then took the people back to the palace.
After all the attendants in the palace left, the people nearby all gathered around and congratulated the king of Shen County.
King Shen Jun was not too surprised by his title of king, after all, the merits were there, but King Shen Jun was not too happy, but was more cautious.
The height is not cold, he is the first person in the Great Zhou Dynasty to be crowned king by meritorious service, sometimes he holds it too high, which may not be a good thing.
But now it is indeed worth being happy, and the people who have come to congratulate King Shen Jun are all grateful.
Lin Nguyen announced that the three stores in Kyoto will be open to everyone for free for three days to enjoy the people.
Now Coke has damaged a lot of ordinary people, you must know that these three stores in Kyoto are not taking the civilian route, so ordinary people with thin family backgrounds really can't afford to consume. Now it is free for three days, and many people who have been coveting it for a long time have gone to line up.
Lin Ruan is not a stingy person, since he said that he would open it for free, he naturally wouldn't just engage in gimmicks, the dishes in the store within three days were exactly the same as on weekdays, and even let people bring a batch of fruits and distribute them to people who couldn't enter the store to eat because there were too many people.
As a result, the three stores have gained a lot of popularity. Lin Ruan's three shops have a good reputation in Kyoto, and now they are even more known to everyone.
These are nothing to Lin Ruan. She didn't take the praise of the people outside to her, but accompanied the second elder in Shen's house with peace of mind.
The excitement lasted for several days before it gradually calmed down.
King Shen Jun, who calmed down, called the whole family together and announced a decision: hand over the military power, disarm and return to the field.
He is not young, and this time he put on the armor and went into battle completely because of the situation. Now that the overall situation has been decided, and the Shen family is in the limelight, he should retreat bravely, otherwise he is afraid of being jealous of the emperor.
The family is supportive, and Lin Ruan also thinks it's good. King Shen Jun's age is not too old in modern times, but in ancient times, he was really old. Even if you don't consider the emperor's factors, you should put down the burden on your shoulders and take care of your old age.
So King Shen Jun immediately went on the fold.
After the emperor saw the excerpts, he brought King Shen into the palace and kept them. But King Shen Jun had made up his mind, and the emperor agreed to his request.
King Shen Jun successfully handed over the military power in his hands, retired successfully, and became an idle old prince with peace of mind.
King Shen Jun, who had nothing to do, suddenly felt that his granddaughter had a strange skeleton and was a good seedling for martial arts, so he had the idea of cultivating Lin Ruan into a beautiful lady with both civil and military skills.
Princess Shen didn't let her, and scolded King Shen Jun, saying that practicing martial arts was too hard, and she made a delicate girl five big and three rough, and she really had nothing to do.
King Shen Jun blew his beard and glared, saying that Princess Shen was short-sighted, and in the woman's opinion, practicing martial arts can not only strengthen the body, but also protect herself, anyway, there are many benefits.
Princess Shen retorted that in a family like theirs, there was no need for the girl's family to worry about their own safety, if something really happened, it would be useless for the men in the family.
Anyway, the two of them are like fighting cocks, and they make trouble all day long because of Lin Ruan's martial arts.
Lin Ruan never expected that the old couple's mode of getting along would be so hot, and they would quarrel if they didn't agree. On the contrary, the rest of the family is accustomed to it, and so are the subordinates.
The old couple quarreled for a few days without a result, so they turned their attention to Lin Ruan together.
One persuaded her not to be afraid of hardships, practicing martial arts, strengthening her body, and the other persuaded her to ignore the stinky old man and be a lady with peace of mind.
Lin Ruan was made to cry and laugh by these two old couples who were like living treasures.
It was when I was in a dilemma and didn't know who to promise, and the Gu family came.
Gu Lian stood at the door of Shen's house, looking at the glittering plaque, his heart was complicated. Back then, he never expected that the Shen family would be able to come to this point.
If he had expected it, he might not have ......
It's just that there is no turning back from the bow, things have come to this point, and it is useless for him to think about it, so he can only move forward. I only hope that I can really catch the boat of the third prince.
He knew very well the idea of the third prince, marrying Lin Ruan was tantamount to bringing the Shen family over.
With the support of the Shen family, the chances of the three princes winning the succession are even greater. Once the three princes ascended to the throne, then Lin Ruan would be the queen, and their Gu family would become the emperor's father-in-law, and his Gu Lian would become the national uncle, and his son would be the national uncle.
Lin Ruan has the support of the Shen family behind him, and the child he gives birth to has a high chance of inheriting the unification, so that they don't have to worry about the future for at least five generations.
Therefore, they must help the third prince to marry Lin Ruan!
As for Xiao Jingchen's side, Gu Lian didn't think about it at all. Xiao Jingchen is cold and arrogant, although his status is detached, but it does not bring any benefits to their Gu family, and even in Xiao Jingchen's eyes, their Gu family does not even have the possibility of existence.
And some of the things they did about their Gu family back then couldn't afford to be noticed by Xiao Jingchen.
So from beginning to end, the Gu family never considered Xiao Jingchen.
