Now that he has no problems in Shangjing, he no longer has any problems that he needs to solve, and some of the business affairs are taken care of by others, and there are also Shen Hong's two dogs and two pillars in other aspects, as long as he moves his thoughts and gives orders, coupled with his own reputation and the excessive respect of the people for him, his blessed land in Beijing is no longer a wonderful place.

Shen Hong touched his hair: "I know." ”

Lin Piao looked sideways at him.

Shen Hong said: "In Shangjing, there are things I want to do, here is the center of power, I have grasped everything I want here, but Piao'er, you have never been a person who enjoys grasping something in your hands, the more things here, the more complicated things become, but Piao'er, you think things are too complicated, we are not here to bind ourselves now, we have come this far in order to be able to live wantonly." ”

Lin Piao glanced at him: "Of course I know, I don't want to leave Shangjing because of the rules." ”

Lin Piao knew that Shen Hong wanted him to stay for a few more days, and smiled: "I will stay for a few more days, and when the situation is stable, you will also accompany me to go out for a walk, I don't think it's bad to go to Beijing, it's just that it's really too boring." ”

Especially after seeing so many acquaintances and familiar people, who have died in that imperial city one after another, Lin Piao probably left a little psychological shadow, and always felt a little disgusted, maybe after a few years, he will get used to it in his heart.

Shen Hong didn't say anything when he heard him say this, nodded, leaned his head close to Lin Piao's sideburns, and gently touched Lin Piao's skin with the tip of his nose, and whispered softly.

"Piao'er, I just said so much to tell you that I can do everything for you, so don't leave me."

Lin Piao stretched out his hand and touched his side face, turned his head sideways to look, and saw Shen Hong's eyes looking at himself, his eyes were deep, pitch black, and he couldn't see the bottom at a glance, but the water waves were gentle, like stars and moons: "Don't leave you, there are a few people like you in the world, there are no places in the world, I picked up my great blessing, how can I leave, now I don't want to come back after going out for a turn, that road has already begun to be repaired, it's not good to give up halfway, just where to start repairing, I have been receiving the official road to Beijing, and then from the road to the outside of the repair, after the completion of this section of the road, I will take the car, from the road to repair, I know that you will feel lonely alone in Beijing. ”

Of course, Lin Piao knew that Shen Hong had been busy before, and he had never taken care of making rose sauce, and this year's florist made two large vats, and even the maids in the courtyard were surprised.

When he came back, Xia He quietly told him that Shen Hong personally made flower sauce this year, and it was okay to say that he was idle, and it was good to just kill time.

Of course, Lin Piao knew that he was lonely, in the past they were a big family, everyone got together, laughing and laughing every day, but as everyone grew up, with the rules of this society, all the rules brought by them, after meritorious service, they were given a house, and when they grew up, they got married, their hearts were not far away, but they seemed to have to live in different places, and the boundary between home and home was the fixed rule of this world.

Shen Hong heard him say this, and nodded: "Okay, then I'll wait for you in Shangjing." There was a smile in Shen Hong's eyes: "When you come back from a new road, the scenery on the road must be very good." ”

Lin Piao quickly looked at him, and he was simply enlightened: "Do you want to say that the flowers on Mo can slowly return?" ”

Shen Hong laughed: "I was guessed by Piao'er." ”

……

The case was progressing, although Bai Ruoxian claimed that he was ill and was not taken away at first, and temporarily gave him some face and let him recuperate in the house, but later the investigation of the case became clearer and clearer, and Bai Ruoxian lost even the last bit of face and was taken to Dali Temple for interrogation.

Bai Ruo was taken to Dali Temple first, and the little emperor soon fell ill as well.

He was scared sick.

He stayed in the palace, and since he heard that Bai Ruoxian had an accident, he was full of panic, and later knew that Bai Ruoxian had been taken to Dali Temple, and he was even more frightened, and wanted to order Bai Ruoxian's pardon several times, but the people around him stopped him every time, and even the petty officials around him who wrote the holy decree dared not listen to him, and even bluntly said that they wanted to tell Shen Hong about this incident and threaten him with such words.

As soon as the little emperor had a lot of things in his mind, he began to fall ill, and he was terrified during his illness, and often spoke incoherently, sometimes saying that he was afraid, and sometimes muttering to himself how to deal with Shen Hong.

In this way, after a few days, the little emperor did not go to court, and Shen Hong and the old ministers of the cabinet helped to take care of state affairs and review the chapters, and the old ministers began to worry in their hearts.

"Your Majesty...... It's not something to be carved for. ”

"Although Your Majesty is the oldest, it is precisely because of the eldest, when it is time to be enlightened, there was no good master around him, and now it is difficult to work hard."

When Shen Hong heard them say this, he didn't agree with it casually, but just listened indifferently, and only when the eyes of the adults looked over and began to ask him for his opinion, Shen Hong asked rhetorically.

"Do you already have a solution in mind?"

Several old men stroked their beards and said unhurriedly: "It can't be said to be a way to deal with it, but it was said from the beginning, if Your Majesty's virtue is not worthy, it will naturally be replaced by someone else, and there are three little highnesses, they are naturalized and young, and they are still able to educate, Daning is not really hopeless." ”

They were talking here when they suddenly heard the sound of a teenager cheering outside.

"I've killed you! I...... I'll kill you! With this intermittent cry of rage, the young emperor stumbled in, raised his leg and stepped into the threshold, his hind foot hooked on the threshold and nearly fell, and after stumbling he was able to stand firmly, holding a blue sword in his hand, and the long spike of the sword was waved, and the green light sword swept back and forth in his hand.

The old ministers of the cabinet don't know martial arts, they don't know how to dance knives and guns, and when they saw the little emperor coming in with a sword, they were all startled: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Calm down, what are you doing! ”

"Yes, out of character, Your Majesty!"

The little emperor held the sword and raised it violently, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Shen Hong: "It's you, you're going to abolish me, aren't you?" How dare you? I ask you how dare you, I am the Ninety-Five! I am the emperor, why did you abolish me? ”

The little emperor's face was still flushed, and he had just gotten up from the sickbed, when the little eunuch beside him came to tell him that Shen Hong was in the palace and was handling state affairs with all the elders, so he took the opportunity to talk to the elders about the abolition of the emperor.

When he heard the news, he hurriedly got up and drew his sword, he didn't even care about wearing clothes, only thinking that Shen Hong was really hateful, he was still sick, but Shen Hong refused to give him a little face, he must discuss this matter at this time, he must teach Shen Hong a lesson.

Thinking so, the little emperor rushed forward angrily with his long sword, and the attendants who had been watching from the sidelines rushed to stop him, but they did not dare to hurt the little emperor, but only separated the little emperor and carefully clamped the blade of the sword with his fingers, so as not to injure other people by mistake.

The guards were stopping, and the old ministers were watching, and the old ministers' old faces turned into bitter melons, frowning and constantly persuading: "Your Majesty, be careful!" ”

"Your Majesty, don't hurt yourself, put down your sword quickly!"

The little emperor was furious: "Why did I spare him, you all only listen to him and don't listen to me, you are all chaotic ministers and thieves, you have long been loyal to Daning, not loyal to the Chu family!" ”

The faces of several old ministers changed when they heard this, they did not know how many years they had worked hard, even if they had no merit, they also had hard work, especially since the former emperor died suddenly, and he did not even have a designated heir, they did not know how hard they had put into this matter, and they could not get the slightest respect, but now they were going to be scolded by the little emperor with a sword pointing at his nose and scolding the rebellious ministers and thieves.

Everyone's faces were ugly, and they couldn't hide the anger and disappointment on their faces.

The little emperor turned his sword and pointed at Shen Hong, he couldn't be the emperor anyway, he would definitely expose Shen Hong's true face.

Shen Hong saw that his sword was pointing over, and his expression was very resentful, so he said indifferently: "Don't let Your Majesty continue to speak, Your Majesty is still sick, let Your Majesty go back and have a good rest." ”

When the attendant heard Shen Hong say this, his hand fell on the little emperor's neck, and before the angry accusation from the little emperor's mouth could be spoken, the attendant knocked the little emperor unconscious and hugged him into his arms to prevent him from falling to the ground.

Shen Hong looked at the attendant: "You escort Your Majesty back, and let the people beside Your Majesty take good care of Your Majesty's daily life, Your Majesty is not well yet, don't let Your Majesty come out to work anymore." ”

The squire should claim to be.

The attendants took the little emperor away, and Shen Hong turned to look at the group of ugly-faced ministers: "Your Majesty has not recovered from his illness, and he has suddenly become crazy, but he is not dissatisfied with all of you, you don't need to take it to heart, Your Majesty is just sick, and you can get better if you want to come and raise for a few days." ”

When several old ministers heard him say this, they looked a little anxious: "Do you really think so?" How many days do you think it's good to keep it? ”

Shen Hong sighed lightly: "Your Majesty is already suspicious of us now, and we should not mention the change of throne for the time being. ”

The old minister on the side sneered: "He is wanton and wild, pointing his sword at our elders, who is immoral and incompetent but wants to occupy the throne, Shen Hong, this official knows that you are young, you value your official reputation, and you don't want to be involved in this kind of thing, but you also have to know the severity, if this continues, will Daning really have to be handed over to him?" ”

Shen Hong was silent for a moment and thought for a while: "Hong knows, in this way, we will ask the ministers to witness, and invite the royal family in Beijing to come and show the heavens and the earth, otherwise this matter will not be in accordance with the etiquette and law." ”

When the ministers heard him say this, they all nodded: "This is right, there must be etiquette and law, otherwise we will be criticized in the end, we are just for Daning, Your Majesty is now more than half a year on the throne, and no one can see any potential and ability, which is really disappointing the emperor." ”

Everyone sighed one after another, all of them felt worthless for the first emperor, such a good throne was passed on to his waste brother who was completely unqualified to ascend the throne, and he still thought that he could raise a good little emperor, but he didn't think that without this ability, he didn't have this ability, and he couldn't change it no matter what, which made people exhausted.

Shen Hong looked at their appearance, knowing that they dared to take the initiative to mention this matter now, Jingyang should have seen them in private, although he didn't know what they talked about, but obviously everyone agreed with Jingyang's idea.

Now they have done Bai Ruoxian first, and when the little emperor recovers from his illness and begins to knock on the side and want to speak for Bai Ruoxian, the ministers already have a ruler in their hearts, and they are disappointed in the little emperor inch by inch.

The little emperor didn't think clearly about the severity, he just wanted to leave someone around him who could help him speak, it was very important to stand on his side, not to mention that he had doubts in his heart, and he was not sure whether the Bao Xuan case was done by Bai Ruo first, if it was a net created by Shen Hong, then it was normal for Bai Ruo to not escape first.

As he thought so, his thinking became more and more sharp, and the things he did and the words he uttered naturally became more and more absurd and more and more earth-shattering.

When Bai Ruoxian's case was settled, Bai Ruoxian was sentenced to exile for 3,000 miles, which was a very bitter punishment for him.

After that, the ministers and the imperial family united to discuss the matter of the change of the throne, and the cabinet ministers committed several crimes, accusing the little emperor of being incapable of his words and deeds, holding weapons and shouting and scolding in the palace.

No virtue, no action, no form, no merit, no wisdom.

All these points fell, and in the end, under deliberation, for the sake of the first emperor, for the sake of Daning, and for the sake of the royal family, it was decided to replace the little emperor.

Then, in the deliberations of the people, it was unanimously decided to let the Seven Kings ascend the throne first.

Shen Hong mediated in it to prevent anyone from trying to fish in troubled waters, and the mother clan of the two little highnesses was also among them, only the Seven Kings did not have any backers, and no people from the Seven Kings participated in this meeting.

The mother clan of the two little highnesses wanted to fight for the little highness several times, but Shen Hong blocked them back with just a few words.

Naturally, the cabinet ministers are also experienced, and this pool of deep water, each of which is well versed in water, is a slippery loach that does not leave its hands behind, and it seems to have an undercurrent surging, but on the bright side, it has settled smoothly and smoothly.

The Seventh King was very flattered to pick up a throne for nothing, but he was not as childish as his sixth brother and was prone to pride, and he knew that he had helped himself to the throne only because the sixth brother was really stubborn, not because he was so good.

The Seven Kings acted very cautiously, and were not proud of being the emperor, but were very humble in asking questions, and asked Shen Hong to deal with things they did not understand, and they had a respectful attitude towards the ministers, and they lived in the palace every day, and the rhythm of life was still the same as in the past, except that the first thing they did in the morning changed from reading to going to court.

When the new little emperor ascended the throne, his reputation in the court was much better, and Jingyang saw that he was a manufacturable material, so he often went into the palace to talk to him and teach him some truths.

"Nowadays, the world is the world of the people, and if the decisions made by the officials are for the sake of the people of the world, even if you don't like it, you have to know that it is right and have to approve of it, but if the resolutions made by the officials are wrong, just for their own selfish desires, then your opposition is what an emperor should really do, the emperor is not what he wants, the emperor is not a position to do as he wants, you can have your selfish desires, but only in the palace, only in some small things, in the world's major affairs, you cannot have selfish desires."

The little emperor nodded: "Imperial sister, I understand that things are important, all things are high and low, the water is under the bottom without fighting, and although the people are low, it is the foundation of the country." ”

Jingyang nodded, reached out and touched his head: "It's good that you can have such an idea at a young age." ”

Jing Yang knew that he had at least read these books, but at least he could say these things now, and he had these truths in his heart.

Jing Yang looked at the little emperor and hesitated for a moment, but still said: "You have to respect Shen Hong, Shen Hong is for the people of the world, in many things, as long as he has not done anything wrong, you must listen to him more, he knows much more than you." ”

The little emperor nodded: "Imperial sister, I know that many things are decided by Lord Shen, and I should learn from him to do things, instead of interfering with him in doing things, because he has not done anything wrong so far, and it is beneficial to the people of the world, whether it is the maidservants in the palace or the people outside the palace, they all like him very much, and so do I." ”

Jingyang nodded and looked at him: "In the future, you will call yourself me." ”

The little emperor nodded, he looked still immature and ignorant, and he was not complacent because of his identity, as if he was looking up, still looking at what kind of scenery this world had, and beyond the world he could understand, there was still a lot of wisdom that he did not know and could learn.

"Sister Huang, will you leave Shangjing?" The little emperor looked at her with some concern, obviously very reluctant.

Jingyang shook his head: "No, I will stay here." ”

She wants to be here, looking at the rivers and mountains of Daning, looking at the little emperor, and also looking at Shen Hong, these two people, if one of them makes a mistake, they will not be at peace in the future.

If the little emperor becomes greedy, it will be a disaster in the future.

If Shen Hong becomes greedy, it will be a disaster right now.

She had to keep an eye on the two men and make sure no one made a mistake.

Now Bai Ruoxian is on the way to exile, and it is Bai Ruoxian's narrow-mindedness and excessive conceit and greed that have led to this kind of good road, and she does not want anyone to make such a mistake again.

She originally wanted to send Bai Ruoxian to her, but in the end she didn't, she just wanted to mock Bai Ruoxian, so why did she have to do it to this extent.

Now that Shen Honglin Piao is doing practical things, Shangjing doesn't know how many officials are also serving the imperial court, coming up with a better way to build Daning, and mocking Bai Ruoxian for falling too low on her.

……

Bai Ruoxian's matter was solved, the little emperor also ascended the throne, Lin Piao and Shen Hongyi said goodbye, and temporarily left Qiu Yu in Shangjing, so that she could get together with his lover and discuss the marriage date, Xia He is not young now, and he also has his own marriage planning, Lin Piao does not care about them in these matters, nor will he refer to what marriage to them, it is all up to them to find a partner, and they will talk to him if they want to get married.

Now Xiao Yun is still relatively young, but compared with a few years ago, she has grown up a lot, and she can do things neatly, so Lin Piao simply took her with her, and then set off again with Juan'er, and the three of them went outside together under the escort of the attendants.

This time, the road was much shorter, one was that the road was more or less repaired, and the other was that as the road was built, their stationing place was also moving, and the place where Han Xiu now lives has been changed to a small village nearby.

When Lin Piao went to find him, he was wearing his luxurious clothes, sitting on a clay kang with rice paper in his hand, looking down at the drawings, out of place with everything nearby, but also very harmonious.

Lin Piao walked in, and when he heard footsteps, he smiled and said, "I'm back." ”

"I went back and encountered a big event, Bai Ruo didn't say anything about it, the emperor changed again, and it was only more than 20 days back and forth, but so many things happened."

Han Xiu nodded, and seemed to have some emotion: "Yes, although it is stable and everything is thriving today, many things will not stop. ”

Lin Piao walked to the side and sat down, Xiao Yun brought a cup of tea in, and Lin Piao took a sip to quench his thirst: "Speaking of which, I brought a lot of things from Shangjing, guess what." ”

Han Xiu was a little surprised: "Let me guess? ”

"yes, you guess."

Han Xiu smiled: "I really don't know, sister-in-law's things, how do I know." ”

Lin Piao looked at him: "I came with the hearts of my family, and by the way, I also brought some of your family's hearts." ”

The smile on Han Xiu's face suddenly expanded a lot: "My family. ”
