Chapter 18: The Holy Judgment

Concubine Chen and Concubine Chang said that the emperor intended to choose concubines for the four princes, she has two sons, Ning Cheng occupies the position of the eldest son, and the throne will be his, as for Ning Chengyou, he can only assist his brother, now Ning Chaoge and Ning Cheng are comparable, and the queen in the palace often takes her to do things, she is also anxious to find a way for Ning Cheng to defeat Ning Chaoge, Ning Chengyou said such things, Concubine Chang naturally kept her mind, Du Yiyi's reputation is poor, but Ning Chengyou marries, you can become a big help to Ning Cheng, Coupled with Ning Chengyou's resolute attitude, she also made up her mind.

What made Ning Chengning, Ning Chao, and Ning Chengyou a little surprised was that Ning Zhiyuan, who was the first to come to the Shen Mansion that day, did not move at this time, and closed the door in the mansion without stepping out of the second door and did not ask about the world, and now they felt even more annoyed, feeling that Ning Zhiyuan had been fooled and calculated that day.

Ning Zhiyuan doesn't ask about the world every day, and he ignores the things in the Shen Mansion, but he is happy to play chess and play the piano with Chang Liu every day, he is the first person to provoke this matter, but at this time, he wants to stay out of the matter? No, his peace is only because the time has not come.

In the laws of nature, there are praying mantises, cicadas, and yellow finch, he wants to do it, naturally he wants to be the yellow finch that laughs to the end, and he doesn't want to fight for the limelight at this time.

The people who went to the Shen Mansion to propose relatives stepped through the threshold and broke the eyes of the people in the capital, they all thought that General Shen's sister would not be difficult to marry, but they didn't expect that General Shen's sister was so popular, the bloodstain under the city gate had already been washed clean by the heavy rain a month ago, and Du Yiyi had also gone from the sickbed to the sliding chair and now to the current walk that could barely be supported by no one, they really felt strange, obviously the things that were so unbearable before could be heard in the streets and alleys. Why is it that it has only been two months, but so many people have begun to keep silent about this incident, as if it had never happened?

General Shen is going to marry his sister, such news has already spread in the court, although the emperor has heard about it, he has always turned a blind eye, when Ning Chaoge's letter and Concubine Chang's words made his eyes widen, this Shen Ke's sister actually let her son be moved?

Ning Chaoge's essay is sincere, the words are ordinary and touching, in Ning Chaoge's pen, how a pair of brothers and sisters came to this day step by step made the emperor remember a lot.

And Concubine Chang's words were also said in a reasonable, sincere and sincere manner, and the infamous Du Yiyi became a rare woman with a straightforward temperament that matched Ning Chengyou's words under Concubine Chang's incorruptible tongue.

And after the queen learned that Concubine Chang had such a thought, she also made a move, Ning Chaoge wrote a fuwen, and she spread this fuwen through some small paths, and now the emperor's concerns are mostly Du Yiyi's reputation, as soon as this fuwen comes out, those rumors about Du Yiyi will naturally fade a lot.

Concubine Chang and the queen talked in their ears every day about Du Yiyi's good son, the emperor finally couldn't bear it, so he had to avoid Concubine Chen, and the emperor also understood why the queen Concubine Chang did this, if there was no Shen Ke, where would they look at Du Yiyi, in the end, Du Yiyi is Shen Ke's sister, after reading Ning Chaoge's article, the emperor decided to let Shen Ke go down to the court and go to his Ningyuan Palace to talk.

"Shen Aiqing, I heard that you also have a younger sister?" Such a beginning made Shen Ke immediately understand what the purpose of today's conversation was.

"Weichen does have a sister."

"I heard you've been busy choosing a husband for your sister all this time? Is there such a thing? ”

"It is true."

"I have an essay here, take a look!"

Shen Ke has already read this fuwen, as early as yesterday, this fuwen has been circulated in the capital, he is one of the protagonists, of course he will pay special attention. Therefore, he just glanced at it a few times, and then replied: "Your Majesty, this fuwen, Wechen has already read it before, and I don't know which literati is idle and has nothing to do, and wrote down some things about Wechen and his sister......"

The emperor stretched out his hand to interrupt: "This text is from Chaoge's hand!" ”

Shen Ke had read the fuwen, but he really didn't know who this fuwen came from, and he had been guessing who was going to pass on this fuwen.

"It turned out to be the hand of His Second Highness, no wonder it was so touching and sincere!" Ning Chaoge wrote this essay and spread it out, in order to understand it as soon as Shen Ke thought about it, this point coincided with him, the person he chose for Du Yiyi was not Ning Chaoge?

"My Fair Lady, good gentleman, my emperor, they have all reached the age of marriage, I don't know what Shen Aiqing thinks?" The emperor didn't say his attitude, but let Shen Ke speak.

"The marriage of several highnesses, the emperor must have already had an idea, and Weichen doesn't dare to say anything!" Of course, Shen Ke didn't dare to be arrogant.

"Actually, in addition to Chaoge, Chengyou also has a love for Shen Aiqing's sister!" Shen Ke's humble attitude made the emperor very happy, he is the emperor, he is the king of the Son of Heaven, but his sons want to win over the believers he promoted one by one, how can this not make him feel guilty, at this time, if Shen Ke is a little arrogant, in exchange for thunder and anger.

"Don't hide it from the emperor, the sister's behavior is perverse, it has caused some gossip, it's not that Weichen belittles the sister, it's that the sister is really not worthy of the two highnesses!" This sentence is not worthy, it is Shen Ke's attitude towards the emperor.

But all kings, have a sense of arrogance, pretend to be smarter than others, pretend to be more than others are a little more than others, who don't like to say clearly, like people to guess, whether it is words or expressions, mood and attitude, all like to let people guess, guess right, feel pleased, guess wrong, feel that you are incompetent, and kings, are like to control, all like to watch the courtiers loyal to themselves, all like to watch the courtiers to themselves all the way to themselves, as long as you have a correct attitude to the king's heart, other things are easy to say.

"Shen Aiqing, don't be presumptuous, Shen Aiqing's temperament, Ling Mei's temperament can also be seen, there is a brother like Shen Aiqing, I am afraid that the person who asks to marry has already stepped through the threshold of the Shen Mansion!" A few hearty laughs came out of the emperor's mouth, and his gaze as he looked at Shen Ke became brighter and brighter.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has today, it is all a gift from the emperor, Weichen doesn't dare to take credit, she marries her sister, and Weichen can only choose a son-in-law for her to let her marry, and other Weichen can't do it and won't do it!" Shen Ke was not very frightened, got up and knelt down.

"I know that Shen Aiqing is loyal to me, but I don't know Shen Aiqing, what do you think of Cheng'er and Chaoge?"

At this time, the emperor asked Shen Ke what he thought of Ning Cheng and Ning Chaoge, and naturally he was asking Shen Ke about his attitude towards the future king of several princes, Ning Cheng and Ning Chaoge's rivalry with the ministers all knew that it was impossible for the emperor not to know, if there was no accident in the current situation, the prince would be born among the two, the emperor's question, if Shen Ke answered to make the holy will dissatisfied, then the trouble would be great!

"Your Majesty, Weichen is a vulgar person, he can't say the same as Wenchen, the two highnesses are commendable with virtue and excellent etiquette, the fly in the ointment of His Royal Highness is to act extremely, but what His Royal Highness lacks is Taoguang's patience!" Shen Ke didn't talk about the political achievements of the two, not about the filial piety of the two, not about the talent of the two, not about the ability of the two, only about the conduct of the two, as he said, he is a military general, of course the emperor will not care about these with him, the front is not what the emperor wants to hear, the last two sentences are what the emperor wants to hear the most, there are too many words of praise for the two in the court, what the emperor wants to hear the most, there are still people who can point out the shortcomings of the two.

"Although Shen Aiqing is a military general, he is accurate in seeing people, Cheng'er will not plan when he encounters trouble, he will only go one way to the dark, he will not be flexible, he is too impatient, and if he wants to be fast, he will not reach it, and it will often only be bad! My four sons, Zhiyuan's body is weak, and he can't bear this burden at all, and he is competitive and competitive, and he is not the choice of the prince, I, it's really difficult! ”

With a long sigh, the shrewd king who had just tried to figure out the thoughts and attitudes of his courtiers was gone, replaced by a helpless father, in Shen Ke's memory, this was the first time the emperor talked to the minister about the choice of the future prince, this weight is not only the emperor's criticism of the shortcomings of several people, but also the weight of the trust in Shen Ke, and even, there is more meaning of future entrustment.

The atmosphere, and then the heat that came out of the emperor's words, became even colder.

"Your Majesty." After being silent for a long time, Shen Ke still spoke, and at this time, he had to express his loyalty to the emperor and his absolute support for the emperor's choice.

"Your Majesty, you are in the prime of life, the prince's affairs can be postponed for a few years, several highnesses are still young, these shortcomings still need to be given time to be corrected, besides, Xi Shuyuan, isn't she pregnant?"

At this time, a wise person will not speak for any prince, the emperor is still old, and the prince is not in a hurry, Shen Ke's words are actually the emperor's thoughts.

"Shen Aiqing, if you are free tomorrow, take Ling Mei into the palace and sit with the queen! Those who come to the door to propose, you don't have to pay attention. ”

It's the queen, and there is no concubine! The emperor's words, nine times out of ten, are decided. Shen Ke was calm, not happy, and responded very indifferently.

Shen Ke was picked up by the emperor, and he was a lonely minister who had no henchmen in the court, and the emperor was not worried that he would not be able to control him, and now that the only doubt in his heart had been lifted, the emperor naturally made up his mind.

It's noon when I return to Shen Mansion, Lu Xiangxue has been waiting for Shen Ke to return, Du Yiyi can also walk steadily and slowly without vanilla support in the past two days, Du Yiyi agreed to get married, Lu Xiangxue's attitude towards her has changed, there is delicious food and will never leave her, and if there are good things, she will be sent here in one share, Jinxiuyuan has made a wedding dress and sent it to Shen Mansion, Du Yiyi tried it out, the size is just right, Du Yiyi will not be idle every day, in order to choose a good husband, She has to read the information of the people who proposed marriage given to her by Shen Ke every day, and Lu Xiangxue will also analyze and analyze her when she is idle, the estrangement between the two sisters-in-law has also disappeared a lot, Du Yiyi has to practice walking more hard the rest of the time except for these things, she must be a normal person before she gets married!

After learning that Yan Taiwei personally came to the door to marry his son, Du Yiyi also got a detailed information about Yan Xinglu's character, talent, family, etc., with these inductions, Du Yiyi also had a deeper understanding of Yan Xinglu, and only then did he know that he was a three-year-old who memorized three characters and recited Tang poems and Song poems at the age of five, and became a poem at the age of seven at the age of seven.
