(43) The sorrow of the Shen family

Three days ago, when Wei Qing and the little prince hugged each other and cried, such a guest came to the Donglin Palace.

Guests who don't come to the door much on weekdays - their majesty.

Li Siyuan put his hands behind his back, followed by Changfang, and walked leisurely to the palace farthest away from his bedroom.

In fact, the inner courtyard of the palace is not very big, Shen Qingjun should have stayed in the Cuiwei Palace arranged by him, but she came to the Donglin Palace by herself.

It's been three years, he's been waiting for three years.

I heard that she had recently drunk herself and ran to the ancestral hall......

"Changfang." Li Siyuan called.

"The minions are here."

"Has Shen Qingjun been drinking for the past two days?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I didn't drink anything."

"Oh."

She didn't drink it, so she was just rejoicing at her brother's victory a few days ago.

As for the ancestral hall, Li Siyuan subconsciously ignored the past, this is the nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and the emperor can't avoid it.

Three years ago, this May, the ministers admonished, the people were noisy, and the noise was turned upside down, and it was bound to ask Shen Qingjun to give an explanation to the dead show girls.

At that time, Shen Qingjun had just turned thirteen years old.

The snowy night has stopped for many days, and the flowers have not yet begun, but the white plum is in full bloom.

Yuxi'an Baimei is quite famous, and it can be pushed first among the three views of the imperial city in early spring.

In the Shen Mansion, especially the children of the Shen family are the most active in appreciating plums. The two of them come almost every year, set up a delicate chess game in the forest, and play a game of tea.

However, this time, the two staggered back and forth, and the little sister of the Shen family arranged a chess game and a small banquet for flower viewing first. And with Shen Mo, the son of the Shen family, there is Li Siyuan, who was still the prince back then.

The first emperor was seriously ill, and the fatigue and war injuries that had accumulated for many years came up together, although he supported the court every day, in fact, the crown prince had already acted as part of the court.

General Shen has always been the minister relied on by the emperor, and the emperor could feel the condition of his body, so he arranged for Shen Mo and Li Siyuan to start discussing things earlier, and by the way, they were close to each other.

Shen Mo originally wanted to postpone the flower-viewing banquet, but he couldn't stand Shen Qingjun's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he still agreed to "go to the banquet" on time, his sister was always a child who had not grown up, and he didn't think too much about it when he was just starting out, so he picked up the crown prince who had a good chat.

The wind and snow slowly opened, and the cover guessed the beauty's cheeks.

Li Siyuan saw the clear chess pieces in her hand, looked up along the sleeves, saw those warm eyes, and saw her smiling.

Ice skin and snow skin, Xiaoxiang jade bones.

Smiling closely, like the snow melting, in their direction, looking at the elder brother from afar.

Perhaps walking on the same side, the crown prince who saw the beauty for the first time involuntarily met her eyes, and self-righteously surrounded her with closeness and attachment.

And this glance is the beginning of the disaster.

The dowry of the prince's mansion was sent to the Shen family on the second day, and without waiting for the Shen mansion to refuse, the emperor went.

The whole country mourned for March, and Shen Qingjun couldn't even find someone to marry casually.

Then came the general election, and the emperor could not wait to draw up a holy decree to put the pearl in the snow of that day into the treasury.

After already knowing that something could not be done, General Shen asked himself to unload most of his military power and stay at home all day, just hoping that the new emperor could treat Shen Qingjun better, and not to be wary of his daughter because of him.

But I didn't expect that I had no rights, how could I hold up a harbor for my daughter?

General Shen started as an ordinary soldier, followed his father to fight all his life, and took over the responsibility of defending the Chen Kingdom from his father, but he never thought that His Majesty would be so ridiculous and the general election would be reopened before the country was safe; I never thought that he would be so bound to Shen Qingjun; never thought that there would be a thousand people in the general election, and he only left one daughter.

His Majesty didn't know that the honor he gave was something that his daughter couldn't afford, and he brought infamy inside and outside the court for her.

Old General Shen is not familiar with the world, is not good at verbal warfare, and has no ability to ask His Majesty to take back his fate, he is only good at the battlefield.

The people are far away from the government and do not know the tricks in it, and the words of people are terrible and easy to be manipulated.

Did he let him go out with a knife and cut down the foolish people who were scolding merrily?

I don't know if it was God's mercy or punishment, Rong Di took advantage of the April attack to come, and for a while, the military situation was tense.

Without waiting for Li Siyuan to summon, the old general invited himself to the border pass, and did not argue with those courtiers, let alone keep the thought of "waiting for those who scolded happily to suffer for a few days, and see if they dare to forget the general's merits".

But people are forgetful creatures, not to mention that the pain hasn't hit the body yet?

The generals here broke through one after another, and a good report was submitted to the early dynasty, and there was no pressure over there, and the people who were unconvinced, red-eyed, and had nothing to do had time to quarrel with Shen Qingjun's crimes, and wrote several large accounts of their crimes.

Li Siyuan went to defend Shen Qingjun in front of the ministers under pressure during the day, and at night Shen Qingjun in the palace refused him in a different way, and he lost patience for a while, so he fainted and sent the only son of the Shen family, Shen Qingjun's brother, who had been trained in the army, to the border pass.

At that time, the border was deadlocked, and the old general Shen, who heard the holy decree, temporarily settled Shen Mo, and he hurried back to the royal capital to ask His Majesty to think twice.

I didn't expect to rush back, but I happened to meet a Confucian student who knelt outside the palace wall all the way and begged for his life.

They were also neat, with wooden signs on their chests, and complaints in their hands, and the crusade was louder and louder. The words whipped the daughter of General Shen in the palm of his hand, and he was extremely guilty.

One by one, they spoke earnestly, and they only wanted to shed blood on the spot, and only begged the emperor to execute the demon concubine who disturbed the country and confused the monarch.

Hurried away again and again, the torn armor on his body had not been replaced, Shen's father's eyes were bloodshot, he stared at the scene in front of the palace wall with wide eyes, and his body was cold.

He couldn't help it, so he stepped forward in two steps, pressed his hands on the shoulders of the leader in front, and pulled him up and questioned him.

The voice is hoarse and unpleasant, inexplicably pathetic.

Could it be that the Shen family's decades of bloody battles on the battlefield couldn't let them raise their noble hands and let Shen Qingjun live?

The man just gave him a blank look and sneered at the middle-aged man with a broken battle armor: "Reckless, I don't understand state affairs." ”

Who doesn't understand?

The emperor was on fire, and the old general Shen, who had made great achievements in defending the country, went, only to get him a sentence: "You might as well persuade your daughter, I have my own ideas for other things." He was kicked out of the palace.

Seeing this, the Ministry of Officials took the opportunity to fall into the ground, and the Ministry of War watched from the wall, and under the joint suppression of several parties, General Shen got nothing, took nothing away, and even the already pitiful and tense military expenses were gone.

Half a month after rushing back to the frontier in discouragement, he was defeated, buried in the battlefield as he wished, and sadly failed in the only place he was good at.

Dead under Rong Di's sword, his eyes wide open, looking at the sky.

The Shen family mourned.
