Shen Juncheng stared at him, his gaze was like an eagle's falcon, "Since a man can have three wives and four concubines, why does the emperor want the harem to be vacant and only marry Empress Xiao?" ”

Over the years, Song Xingyuan has selected a group of concubines according to the minister's opinion, but unfortunately these concubines were either broken out of the wall, or they were returned after committing a crime, and in the end, there was still only Queen Xiao in the palace.

Everyone says that Queen Xiao is jealous and has good means to clean up the harem so cleanly, but is this really the case?

"The emperor should have also heard a saying, don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself."

The last trace of smile on the corner of Song Xingyuan's lips dissipated, and he became completely serious, just looking at him like this, the atmosphere froze for a while, and the silent needle drop could be heard.

Shen Juncheng didn't retreat, he just looked at him so persistently, and it was absolutely impossible for him to marry the princess of a neighboring country.

A moment later, a hearty laugh suddenly erupted in the hall.

Song Xingyuan sat lazily and said, "Oh, yes, I haven't seen Brother Shen like this for a long time, and I miss it very much." ”

In the past, when he was still the dashing idle king, he was often speechless by Shen Juncheng, and he jumped like thunder, and Brother Shen at that time was wanton and frivolous, but he couldn't get any cheapness.

Shen Juncheng gave him a roll of his eyes as usual, "You are the emperor now, I dare to scare you?" ”

Song Xingyuan complained, "Aren't you just scolding me now, have you ever seen an emperor say a word, a minister said a lot, and questioned everywhere." ”

Shen Juncheng retorted, "That's what you said is wrong, I'm giving opinions." ”

Song Xingyuan smacked his lips, "It's a good opinion, it's the first time I've seen such a suggestion." ”

directly denied him, and asked for an opinion.

"I'm sorry, Weichen is straightforward, and his opinions have always been direct."

When Song Xingyuan heard his words, he didn't know where he hit the laughing point, and laughed again.

Shen Juncheng glanced at him again, "Do you owe it?" ”

Song Xingyuan reluctantly suppressed his smile, touched his nose, and said, "It seems to be a little." ”

Shen Jun replied: "You're not a little, you're smoking." ”

The two of them went back and forth like this, and the atmosphere that had been frozen before dissipated in an instant, and it seemed to be back to the past.

Song Xingyuan waved his hand and said casually: "Okay, okay, if I really want to marry you, I will go directly to a holy decree, if you don't accept it at that time, I can still treat you for disrespecting the decree, where will Du Maoming come to inform you and let you stand here and question me?" ”

"You, you have always been calm, but when you meet your little wife, you have no reason and are so reckless."

Shen Juncheng was tired of standing, so he found a place to sit down, and said, "Who knows if you came to me to test my tone, if I didn't show so strong, what if you forced me in?" ”

Along the way, he didn't think about the reason, but he still chose the safest way and didn't retreat.

Song Xingyuan asked the eunuch to serve tea and gave him a blank look, "In your eyes, my brother is so unreliable, knowing that you love your delicate wife and love you to die and live, do you have to beat the mandarin duck?" ”

Shen Juncheng was skeptical, "I feel like you're not reliable." ”

Song Xingyuan snorted, too lazy to break with him.

Shen Juncheng took a sip of tea and said, "Say, why did you suddenly give me a marriage?" ”

Song Xingyuan pulled it from the fold, summoned the letter from Shu State, and threw it over.

Shen Juncheng took it steadily, opened it and looked at it at a glance.

Song Xingyuan explained on the side: "Shu did have a good relationship with the Great Zhao before, but in recent years, they have changed the new emperor, and their minds may not be the same. ”

"You have been fighting at the border for the past four years, and you still don't know a lot about the DPRK and China."

Song Xingyuan analyzed with him the recent contradictions between Shu and Zhao, as well as the contempt of Shu.

As soon as he took the throne, he encountered Zhou Qing's attack, the court was unstable, and he was on guard everywhere, and he inevitably had a little more tolerance for Shu, which made Shu more and more unscrupulous, and even obvious feeling, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to get a piece of the pie.

Song Xingyuan didn't have a plan, but before his plan could be dispatched, Shu took the initiative to make a move.

"I'm not kidding, the envoy of Shu took the initiative to conclude a good relationship between Qin and Jin, and the princess did ask you by name."

Shen Juncheng put away the letter, "They don't think that if they put a princess by my side, they can spy on anything?" ”

Song Xingyuan shook his head, "Maybe they have that idea, but I think that their drunkards don't mean to drink." ”

"I received a secret letter a few days ago, Zhou Qing secretly went to Shu and stayed for three days before returning, and after he came back, in less than three days, Shu sent an envoy with many gifts, which were vast and very ostentatious."

Hearing Zhou Qing, Shen Juncheng's face became solemn, "Zhou Qing participated?" ”

"Well, I guess, it was Zhou Qing's idea that Shu now wants to conclude a good agreement with us about Qin and Jin."

Shen Juncheng frowned, and after a little thought, he understood the truth.

Zhou Qing must have had an insight into the thoughts of Shu State a long time ago, and took the opportunity to encourage them to come at this time, and marry the princess of Shu to him on the grounds of concluding a good relationship between Qin and Jin, and announced in a high-profile manner that the princess of Shu loved him, and looked like he would not marry.

The general beauty is a good story, and they have no reason to disagree.

But the problem is that outsiders don't know Shen Juncheng's love for Su An'an.

What's more, they have already reconciled.

If Shen Juncheng refuses to agree, he will take the initiative to cut off the friendship of Shu and give people enough reason to attack, after all, people look very enthusiastic to come and marry Qin and Jin.

Once he was forced to agree, he buried a thorn between him and An An, even if he was not voluntary, he would lose An An after all.

Shen Juncheng clenched his palm, Zhou Qing was really good at scheming, and he expected that he would not agree.

He got up, "I'll come forward to meet with the envoys of Shu to see what they mean, whether they want to really have a grudge with Dazhao, or if they want to get something out of it, or if Zhou Qing can pry it up, we can also win it back." ”

He thought of several countermeasures for a moment, but was stopped by Song Xingyuan.

"The exchanges between the two countries have always been the same, Zhou Qing's participation this time, I guess he can't not want to get any benefits, it is very likely that Zhou Qing has already made an agreement with Shu behind his back, and he will fight together, so it is useless for you to come forward to expose Zhou Qing's scheme, let alone woo."

After all, who doesn't want to get another piece of the pie, the Jokhang Land is vast, and the Shu Kingdom is not greedy.

Shen Juncheng looked at him and suddenly asked, "It seems that the emperor has a solution?" ”

Song Xingyuan put on a helpless expression, "The country has just been peaceful, the soldiers have returned, and the joy of family has not yet had time to enjoy, the people must be unwilling to go to war, if it is because of your personal reasons that the war will eventually start again, then Brother Shen's reputation that he has accumulated will be completely ruined." ”

You have returned from a great victory, and the people are now looking at you and thanking you, but what the people desire most in their hearts is not to fight.

In an era when there is no need to fight, and in an era when there is no need to fight, they will definitely choose the latter.

"So?" Shen Juncheng asked lightly.

Song Xingyuan pretended to sigh, "So I have a solution, but I don't know if Brother Shen is willing?" ”

Shen Juncheng sat down again, his eyebrows calming down.

It wasn't until the end of the day that Shen Juncheng returned.

At the end of April, the May night is still slightly cool.

Shen Juncheng stepped on the dew vapor and walked into Zehui Garden.

Su Anan had just finished bathing, and before he went to bed, he sat in front of the vanity mirror with his hair through, and his back was graceful.

Shen Juncheng looked at it, raised his feet and walked in, Yueluo wanted to salute, he raised his hand to stop it, waved his hand, Yueluo went down quietly, and closed the door by the way.

Su Anan heard a squeak, turned around curiously, and saw him standing behind him, taking the comb in her hand, and skillfully cutting her hair.

Su Anan hugged his waist and rubbed, "You're back, why did you go for so long?" ”

Shen Jun admitted: "Song Xingyuan talked a lot of nonsense, and he dragged me to nag a lot of useless, so he delayed for a while. ”

Su Anan raised his head, "He is the emperor, and you still call him by his name, will he be angry when he hears it?" ”

Shen Juncheng's eyebrows were very gentle, "No, I shouted behind my back, and he couldn't hear it." ”

Hahaha, Su An was happy, and I thought he really didn't shy away from it.

She sat obediently, asked him to comb his hair, and then said that the princess and grandmother came today, and ate here at night, and sighed about the changes that she hadn't seen for four years.

Shen Juncheng listened quietly, looking at him from the dressing mirror, revealing infinite doting.

Su Anan looked at him, and suddenly stopped talking.

Shen Juncheng put down the comb, hugged her, hugged her from behind, and said affectionately: "What's wrong?" Not happy all at once? ”

Su Anan lowered his head, clasped his fingers, and said, "What are you doing when you entered the palace today?" ”

She didn't want to ask, and she didn't bother to ask him about ordinary government affairs, but instead, she heard Maoming's marriage in the afternoon.

If Song Xingyuan was marrying her and him, then Shen Juncheng shouldn't have such a dignified expression.

So, there's only one possibility.

Su Anan looked very happy at night, but his actual heart has always been carried out.

Shen Juncheng let her play with her fingers, and smiled lightly: "What else should I do to make you unhappy." ”

Su Anan listened to his tone lightly and said seriously: "You are honest, you are not allowed to hide it from me." ”

Shen Juncheng kissed the tip of her ear and said, "Why am I hiding it from you, Song Xingyuan summoned me to the palace just to give me a marriage, and the envoy of Shu came to say that their eldest princess has taken a fancy to me." ”

He said bitterly: "Sure enough, it was me who was too handsome to blame. ”

Su Anan's eyes widened, where did he still have the heart to tease him now, and asked nervously: "Then ...... How did it happen? ”

can let him return so late, it must not be just a marriage, I am afraid that it is mixed with a lot of involvement, and it is not so easy to deal with.

Shen Juncheng saw her reaction and said with a smile: "Don't believe me? ”

Su Anan lowered his eyes, "I don't believe him." ”

This him, there is no doubt that he is Song Xingyuan, after all, he is now the emperor, and no matter how powerful Shen Juncheng is, he is also a minister.

Shen Juncheng rubbed her head, "You don't have to believe him, just trust your husband." ”

"I have promised you that you alone are enough in this life, and you will not marry anyone, even if you are a princess, you will not be as safe as my family."

Su An's heart was relieved, and he took the initiative to wrap around his neck and asked, "Then why did the emperor suddenly want to marry you?" ”

Shen Juncheng spoke in detail and did not hide her.

When Su Anan heard Zhou Qing, his eyebrows suddenly became complicated.

When she left this time, Zhou Qing personally gave her and wished her happiness, but she won her guilt fiercely, and she also wanted to let Shen Juncheng reconcile with him in the future, and don't target her again.

Turning his head, he pouted again.

Shen Juncheng saw her sad face and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, this matter has been resolved." ”

Su Anan asked excitedly: "What method?" ”

Shen Juncheng said lightly: "I took the initiative to give up the position of the general, hand over the military power, and relocate to the city guard of Liguan Town, I think it is impossible for them to marry the princess to the lord of a small border city." ”

Su Anan was stunned, "This is what Song Xingyuan mentioned?" ”

At this moment, she didn't call herself the emperor, but called Song Xingyuan directly, because anyone could see that this was not so much a method as a disguised exploitation, unloading the mill and killing the donkey.

Shen Juncheng had just returned from victory, and he was worried that the military power in his hands had been handed over, which was really ruthless and unjust.

Shen Juncheng snorted, "He mentioned it." ”

Su Anan laughed angrily, "You agreed?" ”

Shen Juncheng sighed indifferently, "I agreed." ”
