Chapter 172: Three People
Guangxi three years, early summer.
War broke out again in the territory of Longxi Kingdom.
When King Jing's rebels were finally forced to a remote corner, the kings of Zhennan and Zhenbei were angry because of the imperial court's reduction of the feudal domain.
Regarding the matter of cutting the feudal domain, although Shen Run had this thought, he also took care of the situation in Longxi's country, and had always taken measures to appease the king of Zhennan and Zhenbei, trying to reassure them, so that they could continue to serve Longxiguo.
However, the kings of Zhennan and Zhenbei did not believe him.
In the past, because of the matter of Baohua County Lord and Lou Yu, the King of Zhennan and the King of Zhenbei had conflicts with the Shen family, and Shen Chong's attitude made them reflect thoroughly after that, and after re-sorting out the relationship between the monarch and the minister, their thinking also became wise.
Shen Chong is like this, not to mention the new emperor, whether it is the king of Zhennan or the king of Zhenbei, they have no trust in the new emperor who has just ascended the throne, coupled with the provocation of some well-intentioned people, the king of Zhennan and the king of Zhenbei In such a tense atmosphere, the more enthusiastic and friendly Shen Run is to them, the more suspicious they feel.
The false camouflage of the two sides finally broke down completely in the early summer, and as King Jing's rebellion was gradually driven to the end, the situation in the territory of Longxi Kingdom stabilized, and King Zhennan feared that once the country was at peace, the matter of cutting the feudal domain would be remembered again, and at that time, the current waiting hesitation was to sit back and wait for death.
In order to resist the cutting of Tibet, the king of Zhennan bet all his troops and launched a desperate attack on Qi'an, the reason is also that the edict in Shen Run's hand is forged, and the king of Zhennan raised troops to avenge the first emperor and kill the rebel who is now sitting on the dragon chair.
Seeing this, the king of Zhenbei openly rebelled in the northern border of the border under the guise of eradicating the traitors of the evil sons and traitors for the first emperor.
The reasons put forward for the rebellion of the two kings and the rebellion of the king of Shuangfan were all forged by Shen Run, and the number of times was too much, even if the edict was indeed not forged by Shen Run, but there were too many legends, and the rebellion became true.
The various rebellions that occurred after the new emperor ascended the throne made the people of Longxi Kingdom, who had been living in peace, miserable, and the war made the people complain, and His Royal Highness King Rong, who had a very good impression of him, had fallen to the freezing point.
This is the case with the people, as long as the people feel that they are benefited, they feel at ease, and they will naturally support those in power in every way. But even if the people's hearts are always in favor of those in power, once one day the people in power begin to disappoint the people, and as the disappointment increases, the former reverence will turn into deeper resentment.
Shen Run has a first-hand experience, what respect and worship, what appreciation and praise, are unreliable, once they are not satisfied, they will immediately change their faces. Although he didn't understand this, and he was able to deal with these problems well because the change of the situation could not be avoided, but deep down, he was still a little disappointed. Human beings are too hypocritical, nothing is sincere, and Shen Run feels more and more that he is actually alone.
So occasionally, when he wanted to take a breath from the pressure, he would suddenly feel lonely, and at that time he would think of the morning light, the way she laughed, and his mood would improve, but after he got better, he would feel a little sad.
Because he is a man and the king of a country, this sadness cannot be seen by others no matter what.
The rebellion of King Zhennan and King Zhenbei was the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the rebellion of Shen Huai and Shen Qi cost Longxi a lot of troops, and the two variables of Zhennan King and Zhenbei King were not variables, which made Longxi Kingdom a little unbearable, and at the same time, the worst happened, and the Cangqiu Kingdom on the border of Chen Bing suddenly launched a fierce attack on Longxi Kingdom overnight.
Shen Run, one head and two big.
He had to plan for the worst and send someone to the Chiyang Kingdom to borrow troops.
This is a top secret, only Shen Run and the people sent to Chiyang Country know about it.
The people who were sent to Chiyang Kingdom were Shen Fan and Xue Ling, and Shen Fan went there in person as a prince, although it was risky, but it could show the sincerity and humility of Long Xiguo even more. Xue Ling is very good at diplomacy, and Shen Run is still very sure of his stability and shrewdness.
In the dead of night, the three of them finished discussing, Xue Ling retreated first, Shen Run gave Shen Fan a final explanation, and Shen Fan responded one by one.
Shen Yan's face was not very good, his eyebrows and eyes were full of gloom, Shen Run had heard a little about his family, and after the discussion, it was rare to ask a few words:
"Does Concubine Luo still insist on becoming a monk?"
When Shen Yan heard him mention this, his heart felt as if a big stone had been blocked, and he was uncomfortable.
Luo Bifan didn't spend too much effort when he was taken into Yuwang's Mansion by Shen Huan, and when Shen Qi broke into the city late at night, he only brought two side concubines with some power, and he didn't pay attention to Luo Bifan at all, and Luo Bifan was left alone in the empty Jingwang Mansion.
Next is the civil strife, who will pay attention to a waste concubine who has been thrown away and is like being abandoned, Shen Ran only understood Shen Run, changed Luo Bifan's identity, and integrated Luo Bifan into the mansion.
At this time, the fat boy from Princess Yu Zhao gained weight again.
Shen Run has long known about Shen Fan and Luo Bifan, Shen Run is using Shen Huan, a woman, and the two of them are in love with each other, he turned a blind eye and didn't interfere too much in this matter.
He thought that Luo Bifan was willing, but he didn't expect that there would be a problem in just over two years.
When Luo Bifan first entered the mansion, Shen Fan was reluctant to wronged Luo Bifan after thinking about it, so the system developed by Shen Chong in his dizziness was well used.
Shen Fan wanted to marry Luo Bifan as his wife.
Princess Zhao Rui agreed, she agreed with a smile, and the reluctance in her smile was reasonable.
In the past, Shen Fan and Luo Bifan's affairs were known to everyone in the noble girl circle, and Zhao Rui naturally heard that her husband had treated her very well in recent years, but if she didn't feel that her husband had someone else in his heart, she was definitely deceiving herself.
Zhao Rui was confused on the surface, but she was a mirror in her heart, so when Shen Wei hesitated for a long time and came over to ask her opinion, Zhao Rui agreed with tears in her eyes and a smile.
What if you don't agree, the other party has already decided, just come and ask out of guilt, resolutely oppose it is not good or bad, it is better to hold the other party's guilt, and let the other party remember his virtuous generosity in the future.
Luo Bifan didn't accept it.
She felt sorry for Zhao Rui.
And she is the abandoned Princess Jing, although the identity has been changed in the family tree, but the people of Qi'an are not blind, and she can't be too publicistic for the reputation of Yuwangfu.
So Luo Bifan became a side concubine in Yuwangfu very low-key.
After that, Yuwangfu has been very calm, Shen Run has not heard of the incident of discord between wives and concubines in the backyard of Yuwangfu, he also thought that Yuwangfu is very peaceful, but it has been less than three years since there was a strong news, Yuwang's side concubine herself asked to become a monk.
Needless to say, Shen Bifan treats Luo Bifan well, Princess Yu is a well-known virtuous person, and she will not be too bad for Luo Bifan, but Luo Bifan's health is not very good, and it is getting worse and worse after entering the Yu Palace, two months ago, Princess Yu confirmed that she was pregnant with a male fetus, and Luo Bifan was very happy at that time, but then she suddenly proposed that she wanted to become a monk and pray for Shen Fan and the child.
Of course Shen Fan would not agree, the two of them have been quarreling for a few months, but this time Luo Bifan is very stubborn, no matter what Shen Fan says, she just wants to become a monk in a word, Shen Fan is sad and angry, and it has been difficult to calm down in recent days.
Shen Run mentioned this matter, the purpose was to let Shen Yan put his mind on Chiyang Kingdom, don't delay the business for the sake of his children's personal affairs, he comforted:
"Concubine Luo may have suddenly gotten into the tip of the horns, you cold her, let her be quiet, and when you come back, she may figure it out."
Shen Yan understood what he meant, smiled reluctantly, and said yes.
When he withdrew from the Chaoyang Palace, Shen Fan met Bai Wanning who was waiting outside the palace gate outside the Chaoyang Palace. Bai Wanning was wearing a gorgeous palace dress of garnet red, standing in the tuyere, blown by the wind, like a beautiful red dogwood. The pretty girl who followed her was holding an elegantly styled soup cup in her hand, looking at this posture, she was probably here to deliver soup to Shen Run.
When the two met, Shen Fan had to stop, and the two sides saluted, and Bai Wanning smiled softly:
"His Royal Highness King Yu has been in Chaoyang Palace for so long, it's really hard!"
Shen Yan smiled perfunctorily and said, "The noble concubine is here to bring soup to His Majesty?" ”
The word "concubine" hurt Bai Wanning's heart, she could have been the queen of Long Xiguo, all of this is to blame on that slut of Chenguang!
As long as she thinks of that slut, Bai Wanning will sweat all over her body and suffocate the fire.
She could have been the queen of Long Xiguo, but she was all that slut! Slut!
I thought so in my heart, but I didn't dare to show it on my face.
Shen Yan saw that what Bai Wanning was thinking was different from what she showed on her face, and she was unwilling to continue talking to her, so she left after a few greetings.
Bai Wanning didn't come to Chaoyang Palace to find someone to talk to, she was waiting for the eunuch who went in to report.
After a while, Gao Sheng, the newly appointed chief eunuch of Chaoyang Palace, came out of it and said to her with a formulaic expression:
"Your Majesty is dealing with important matters at this time, and you can't be empty, so you can't see the concubine Niangniang, so please go back."
This result is not unexpected, she has been to Chaoyang Palace many times, but none of them can enter smoothly.
"Manager Gao, I'm just here to deliver soup to Your Majesty, I won't delay too long, Manager Lao Gao will inform Your Majesty again, I'll go in and deliver the soup and leave."
Bai Wanning said, and the palace maid behind her stepped forward and stuffed a money bag into Gao Sheng's hand.
Gao Shengpi pushed back with a smile, and said with a sneer:
"Guifei Niangniang, it's not that the slave doesn't help Guifei Niangniang, it's really Your Majesty's order, Your Majesty can't be empty, Guifei Niangniang should please go back."
Bai Wanning's face was blue and white, she wanted to go in and talk to Shen Run in person, but Shen Run didn't see her, she couldn't see Shen Run when she came to Chaoyang Palace, since Shen Run accepted the concubine, as far as she knew, he hadn't been to the harem at all.
Bai Wan held back a nest of fire.
