Jiangdu.

After Tan Yu left Yelu, he asked Le Duan and Guo Song to stay in Yuemingyuan to recuperate, and explained that Uncle Yun took care of it and didn't care. Dedicated to practicing the Qi family's light exercise method handed over to him by Qi Yan, during which the emperor mentioned the family matter he had mentioned to the emperor before at a palace banquet.

Emperor Wei Guo Tan Heng sat at the top, glanced at Tan Yu, who was sitting at the bottom, and shouted, "Master Shen." ”

In the position of the head of the civil and military officials, Shen Taishi, who was wearing a red official uniform and had gray hair, heard the emperor calling him, and got up and saluted, "Your Majesty, the old minister is here." ”

The emperor saw that Shen Taishi was out of the ranks, "I remember that you have a young daughter, how old is it? ”

Shen Taishi glanced at Tan Yu, who was sitting not far from the emperor, and lowered his head to return to the emperor's words, "Back to the emperor, it is about the same as Prince Ding." ”

"It's good that I don't remember badly, my seventh brother was sent by the emperor to recuperate because of his poor health, and now that his body is recuperating, I called him back. But now that I see that he is not small, I am old, if I can't watch him set the marriage event, I am afraid I will not be able to explain to the emperor in the future!"

Tan Yu looked at Tan Heng's singing and fighting, and hurriedly got up and saluted, "Brother Xie Huang cares, but ...... Ahem...... Ahem...... The wounds from the attack the day before yesterday have not healed, but they can't be seen on the surface...... Ahem...... Let's wait until we get good at it. "Tan Yu saluted the emperor, and kept coughing.

The emperor said anxiously, "Didn't you get better the day before yesterday......?"

"Brother Huang, this hurts the heart, where can it be said that it will be good, cough cough...... It's just going to be raised. "I can't stand up when I talk about the royal station.

"What are you doing? Don't you see that Prince Ding is about to lose his footing? Why don't you step forward and help the prince sit down. The emperor shouted at the palace people standing behind him.

Shen Taishi looked at Prince Ding and directly stopped the emperor's words, and he didn't say anything else, after all, Prince Ding had just returned to the dynasty and didn't know anything. The emperor said that his young daughter is his old daughter, and he is reluctant to stay until he is sixteen years old, and he has not yet found someone, it seems that he has to tell his wife when he goes back today, and the marriage of the young daughter has to look like it. Watching Prince Ding talk about the emperor, the seventh son of the former emperor, was helped to sit down left and right, and the emperor didn't mention this stubble again, Shen Taishi gave a salute to the emperor and sat in his place.

Tan Yu came back from the palace banquet and asked Yunyang Gu, "What kind of person is this Shen Taishi?"

Yunyang Gu naturally heard about today's palace banquet, and opened his mouth to go back to his grandfather, "Shen Taishi is a person who has been in the office since the time of the first emperor, but he was not so important in the period of the first emperor, until he ascended the throne today, Shen Taishi has risen to the top of the hundred officials, and has been in the position of the head of the hundred officials. This person is very strategic, very shrewd, the emperor initially stabilized the court, and Master Shen contributed a lot. ”

Tan Yu listened to Yun Yang Gu's words and said, "Then he is very loyal to Tan Heng." ”

"No, master, why did my father say that he was very smart, but because of this, two years ago, the emperor wanted to talk about the three princes, and set up the young daughter of Shen Taishi, but he refused on the grounds of reluctance, saying that it was an old girl, and she was young, Shen Taishi was really reluctant, she was sick twice, and the marriage was not known. At that time, the three princes were extremely favored, and they were not far behind the current five princes, but it is said that Shen Taishi was not optimistic about the three princes, so he politely refused the family affair. Over the years, although Taishi Shen has been reused by the emperor, the emperor doesn't seem to believe in him very much, so Yang Gu feels that if this marriage falls on the master, it will not be a good thing. "Yunyang Gu is supportive of his father's marriage.

Tan Yu looked at Yun Yang Gu and said this, and knew that he wanted to agree by himself, not to mention whether this person could be used, only this family matter...... I inexplicably didn't want to agree. "Such treacherous people would be of great use in the future, but not now. Now what the Lord wants is absolute loyalty, not such a shrewd person. ”

Yunyang Gu heard Ye say this, too, if Ye can ...... one day Such a courtier will use it, and this kind of person is only loyal to the superior, "Lord is wise." ”

"The third child," Tan Yu remembered the exquisite third prince at the palace banquet today, "Tan Hong, but he is a long-sleeved dancer." ”

Yunyang Gu knew that the master had just come back not long ago, and he was not very familiar with the situation in Jiangdu, "Master, there are a total of five princes today. The eldest prince Tan Yi, because of his biological mother's humble background, Yi, and assistant, the name taken by the emperor at the beginning was destined to the fate of the eldest prince. Because of the war with Ning in recent years, there are military exploits from time to time, and the eldest prince is brave and good at fighting, and he is the king of the county who was named together with the lord, and he was twenty years old. Of course, you are now the Prince's Honor. ”

"Tan Yi, well, no wonder I haven't seen the boss for so long since I came back, it turned out to be at the border. Tan Yu remembered that he had entered the palace several times and had never seen Tan Yi.

Yunyang Gu continued, "The second prince talks about life, his biological mother is from Ningguo, and she is limited by her background, and she has no chance to be in the big position. From childhood to adulthood, he belonged to a marginalized person, and the second prince was also quite self-aware, at the age of twenty. Whether it is the court or the border, he never tries to get involved. ”

"The third prince Tan Hong, who was very favored before, was once considered by the court to be the default prince. Two years ago, he was named the king of the county at the age of fourteen, and he was also the first prince to be crowned the king of the county, earlier than you. But in the past two years, the emperor not only did not issue a clear decree to canonize the crown prince, but favored Tan Ling, the fifth prince who was eight years old at the time. ”

"The fourth prince Tan Wei, when he was thirteen years old, his mother's family was prominent, his person was quite domineering, the emperor has not liked him very much, so he was directly spoiled by him, and the fifth prince Tan Ling, who was very smart at a young age. ”

"The art of weighing, my emperor's brother is really worthy of his name 'Heng'!"

After Yun Yang Gu finished speaking, he looked at Tan Yu and thought about it, and said with a sneer. After talking about the royal words, Yunyang Gu opened his mouth and said: "Master, Yang Gu thinks that the third prince Tan Hong is indeed the candidate in the emperor's heart, and we need to be extra careful, because although the emperor loves the five princes now, the five princes are still young after all!"

Tan Yu looked at Yun Yang Gu, "This is wrong, Yang Gu, my emperor's brother is suspicious by nature, only if it is possible that Tan Hong has violated his taboo, he will turn to Tan Ling after he has just made Tan Hong the queen of the county." Although Tan Hong is exquisite, he has no real power, and he only has the dignity of a county king. In front of the military, there is your father, Yun Yuankang, the general of Zhenguo, and in the back, there is the boss, who is also the king of the county. The civil officials of the court are headed by Shen Taishi, and with Shen Taishi's cleverness, even if Tan Hong is good at dancing with long sleeves, there will never be many civil officials under him, and they are not in an important position. Therefore, that talk of Hong has actually been given up by the imperial brother. ”
