Professional Red Thread Cutting [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 29 Taking the Son of Heaven to Order the Princes
The young man fell down on the bed, looked at him blankly, and grabbed his robe when Shen Chun was about to turn around and leave: "My lord, please don't send Zhuqing back, please."
Tears were streaming down his face, obviously extremely terrified of being sent back.
Shen Chun stopped in her tracks, looked down at the hands tightly clutching her robe and said, "What will happen if you send it back?"
His gaze stayed, Liu Zhuqing quickly let go of the corner of the clothes, but she was afraid that he would leave, and she held it lightly, her voice trembling slightly: "I will be sent to Uncle Chang."
There were a lot of fireworks in the Yong Dynasty, most of which were romantic affairs between men and women, but in order to find novelty, dignitaries would inevitably have a manly man, but this matter was rarely brought up on the stage, as the well-known good man like Uncle Chang Male sex is rare.
But even if it is rarely mentioned on the stage, as long as the matter of masculinity does not involve government affairs, it is just a matter of talking and laughing.
Uncle Chang is not involved in government affairs, but he has a fat belly and is dressed in fine clothes, he looks like a member of the village, and he is also in his forties this year.
He did not have much real power, and he never raped men from good families, and what he came into contact with were skinny horses raised by people in the hall or other officials. Under this kind of system, Shen Chun naturally would not rush to make trouble.
"You think he's ugly?" Shen Chun stroked the hem of his clothes and sat down and asked.
Liu Zhuqing's fingers trembled, she bent down and said, "Zhuqing dare not."
"Don't dare..." Shen Chun looked at him and said, "Who sent you here, and where did you come from?"
"Zhuqing was selected by Li Shangshu from the Nanfeng Pavilion and sold there when he was young..." Liu Zhuqing looked up at him, but when he met his gaze, he quickly withdrew his eyes, "Zhuqing is very clean and has never served others .”
There are a lot of people buying and selling fireworks in the land of fireworks, and there are many reasons. Some kidnappers send them, and some parents have a lot of children who want to exchange money.
And for those children who are sold in, they have no choice. Once they enter it, all their pride will be crushed under the stick.
"It's a poor man." Shen Chun got up and smiled, "I don't keep anyone around me, but I can show you a good place. Since you were born in a palace, you can't stay in the capital. Do you want to go to Jiangnan? There is a Biezhuang there, you should be literate, as a book boy, can you manage those books?"
Zhuqing was originally hopeless, but now he is in a desperate situation, he suppressed his tears, got off the bed, and saluted on the ground: "Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord."
"Liang Wendong, come in." Shen Chun shouted towards the door.
"Here we come, Marshal." Liang Wendong hurried in, but his head was almost lowered to his chest, afraid of seeing something that shouldn't be seen.
It is not difficult to send a person away, a carriage and two guards are enough.
As the carriage left, Liang Wendong stood in front of Shen Chun and lowered his head, not daring to say anything more.
"The time is so short, is there something wrong with the Marshal's health?" Shen Chun looked at his expression and asked.
"How do you..." Know? !
Liang Wendong raised his head abruptly, and silently bowed his head when meeting Shen Chun's subtle expression, admitting his mistake: "This subordinate dare not speculate like this."
"You don't dare?" Shen Chun said with a smile, "Forget it, you just need to know that I promised one person and one thing, just not being close to others, and from now on, no matter male or female, I will reject them all."
"Yes, this subordinate knows his mistake." Liang Wendong said.
It turns out that the Marshal has a sweetheart in mind!If people find out about this, wouldn't it be a misunderstanding, it's all his fault, he's acting in a muddleheaded way, but he doesn't know what the Marshal's sweetheart looks like to make the Marshal keep his promise.
"Look up the population of the Fireworks Land as well." Shen Chun said.
The people who bought and sold were rare in the Yong Dynasty. People were employed in the palace, dignitaries recruited servants, plus jugglers, and the Kung Fu troupe came from here. Well, it's pitiful. It is impossible for Shen Chun to completely terminate this law. Once it is terminated, the entire system will be impacted. What he can solve is the abduction issue. The household registration does need to be strictly managed, but that is to be done with the minister. negotiated
"Yes, this subordinate takes orders." Liang Wendong replied.
"Well, and also, let someone replace all the things in the room." Shen Chun glanced at the bed and said.
He doesn't like others to touch his things, especially when they leave a rich and sweet aroma on them.
"Yes." Liang Wendong bowed his head.
……
In the past, there were many beauties who were sent to Prince Yi's mansion, but no matter how beautiful they were, they were all sent back as they were, and they had never even seen Prince Yi's face, so it was Shen Chun's first time to keep someone. Everyone in the court started talking about it.
The person was given by Li Shangshu, but the person who gave the gift was not because of his official position, but because it was a man, no matter how beautiful he was or what his status was, it was a man.
Originally, there were speculations and discussions about Shen Chun's preferences in the government and the public, but once this incident happened, it confirmed the rumors that King Yi is a good man.
"It doesn't necessarily mean that you have to be a man, but if you have a good relationship with a woman, you will inevitably have troubles afterwards. If you make a child before the main wife enters the door, you will inevitably look bad. If you are a man, you don't have such worries."
"It's the same, Li Shangshu really knows how to choose people."
"It's just that I didn't expect that such a handsome man as King Yi would like men."
"You don't listen to the rumors, like King Yi, even men want to get close."
"So, I don't know who is taking advantage of whom."
As soon as this incident happened, many more beauties went to Prince Yi's mansion, but this time they all returned them, and the rumors of special favors were rampant.
They don't care how the government and the public talk about Shen Chun. If they really meet someone who is interested in this world in the future, they can explain one or two things. If they don't, then don't worry about it.
There are many government affairs in the imperial court, and when all kinds of things are handled almost, it is already the time when the peach blossoms are in full bloom in March.
The imperial garden in the palace is not very big, but the flowers and trees are carefully cultivated, the flowers are in full bloom, and the sky is full of red fragrance.
Shen Chun didn't bring a lot of people with him when he went out like the emperor, at most two or three guards, or alone.
This kind of randomness is not because no one has thought about it, it's just that there are countless assassins sent by all parties, but none of them can hurt him. Instead, it hurts his own manpower, let Shen Chun follow the vine to find a few more melons , so that the two vassal kings were taken back and all their powers were thrown into prison.
As soon as this happened, very few people were sent to assassinate them, just because they remembered that Shen Chun, apart from being the regent, was once the marshal of the Northwest Army who slapped Fang Qiu. .
The emperor was young, and there were no concubines in the palace except the empress dowager. Even if there were women, they were just maids in charge of sweeping and cleaning in various palaces. It was also convenient for Shen Chun to enjoy the scenery in the imperial garden when he had nothing to do.
After all, princes and ministers still have to be recruited to the palace to discuss matters. Even if he holds great power, he cannot openly recruit ministers to the palace to discuss matters.
The path is winding, fighting and snakes, deep in the peach blossoms and willows, there are faint voices of talking and laughing, which seems to be extraordinarily lively in spring.
Shen Chun's footsteps paused, and he looked through the flower branches, there was a small archery target under the gazebo not far away, and several palace guards were guarding it, and the little emperor was shooting arrows at the target in a normal uniform.
The bow is a small bow, and the arrow is also a small arrow. The strength is not very strong, but the arrows shot are very accurate.
"Fei Bai's shot is awesome!" The queen mother sitting in the gazebo praised.
"The queen mother is ridiculously praised." The little emperor blushed slightly after being praised, but took another arrow from the arrow basket, and his attitude was a little more serious than before.
He shot three arrows in a row, and all three arrows hit the bull's-eye. The queen mother praised and praised, and pulled him over to wipe the thin sweat from the sun with a veil.
"Huaizhi, it's your turn." Feng Feibai said to the young man waiting by his side, "If you can't win, I will punish you."
"Of course I won't lose." The young man held his bow and said.
Jian Huaizhi, the grandson of the elder Jian Ge, was once the companion of the sixteenth prince, Feng Feibai. When the new emperor ascended the throne, he was still by his side. He was only about ten years old, but he was born half a head taller than the little emperor, handsome and handsome We have seen the clues.
The young man holds the bow, nocks the arrow and shoots immediately, his movements are quick, and the same arrows all hit the bull's-eye.
"Hui Zhi shot well." The queen mother also praised.
Although they all hit the bull's-eye, there are obviously some differences. The little emperor's fair face is clearly dissatisfied: "This is a tie, Huaizhi will have to compare again."
"Compare again." Jian Huaizhi raised his chin slightly and said.
Accompanying each other when they were young, Xindi has no pretensions when he is young, he does not get along like adults, but is much more casual.
Shen Chun looked at it for a while, and didn't want to disturb, turned around and walked a few steps, but met the palace lady who hurried over with a fruit plate.
Although the distance is very far, but I have seen it, and there is no way to avoid it.
"Greetings to Prince Yi." The three maids hurriedly came to salute and say hello with fruit plates in their hands. Their expressions were cautious, and they were obviously from the Queen Mother's palace.
"Get up." Shen Chun raised his hand, turned around and looked at the gazebo, the competition there had stopped.
Since you are aware of it, it is really impossible not to see it.
Shen Chun walked over with his hands behind his back, the previous laughter and laughter had long since disappeared, the court ladies all knelt down to salute, even the empress dowager who was sitting stood up, her expression was dignified, but her eyes couldn't hide the nervousness.
"Greetings, Your Majesty, and the Empress Dowager." Shen Chun walked up to him and bowed his hands.
"Ai Qing is flat, so you don't need to be too polite." Feng Feibai tightened his hand holding the small bow, but he couldn't stop looking at Shen Chun.
"King Yi doesn't need to be too polite." The Queen Mother walked out of the pavilion, her loose clothes covering the small bow in Feng Feibai's hand, "Why is King Yi free to come to the imperial garden today?"
Although she is an empress dowager, it is not a safe position. After her husband dies, the mother's glory must be given by her son, but the youngest son is still young and has no power to protect himself. If he makes a careless move, he may fall down. The high seat is just an immediate matter.
Although she was grateful to Shen Chun for saving her twice, she was even more afraid of him.
Dynasty Yi was busy with government affairs, so he seldom set foot in the imperial garden. He just chose today's good weather, and when his son came up, he let them compete here, but he didn't want to be so unlucky.
"It's all about going out to relax when I'm busy." Shen Chun looked at the expressions of the mother and the son, smiled slightly, stepped into the gazebo and sat down, he took the cup, and some palace servants went up to offer tea cautiously, and the cup was on the table Playing with the hands, Shen Chun's eyes moved to the target and said, "Your Majesty's arrows are pretty good."
The emperor did not sit, but the courtiers sat first. It is disrespectful to put it in any dynasty or generation, but no one present dared to say anything, only Jian Huai hesitated to speak, but swallowed back the words in his stomach .
Now King Yi in the court is in the same position as an emperor, the army, the court and the hearts of the people are all in his hands, even His Majesty can only avoid his edge.
The queen mother forced a smile and said, "Wang Yi is absurd, but it's just a child's toy."
"Oh? So that's the case." Shen Chun looked at the little emperor with red lips and white teeth and said with a smile, "Your Majesty just said it was a draw. If Huaizhi loses, he will be punished. What is the punishment?"
When he said it was a draw, the Empress Dowager knew that he was not a newcomer, but naturally watched from the sidelines for a long time.
Feng Feibai knew that this was arrogance, but he also knew that resistance was useless. He glanced at his mother, and said before receiving any hints: "If Huaizhi loses, I will write the copy book arranged by the Taifu for me."
His cheeks were reddish, obviously embarrassed.
"So that's how it is. Since it's a draw, let's do it again." Shen Chun didn't move, obviously wanting to wait and see here.
The Empress Dowager's face was slightly pale, and she wanted to say something, but in the end she just pressed Feng Feibai's shoulder and sat down in the gazebo again.
The weather was still slightly cool in March, and even in the gazebo, there hadn't been any major activities, but the Queen Mother felt a feeling of sweat all over her body.
Feng Feibai touched his shoulder, held the little bow and pressed his lips together, the queen mother said to hide her strength and bide her time, then she could only lose.
"How many times did the Grand Tutor ask His Majesty to copy?" Shen Chun asked when the little emperor raised his bow.
Feng Feibai said, "Three times."
Those taught by the Taifu would take a lot of time to copy no matter which one, so it is no wonder that the little emperor lied and said that he would be punished.
"Comparing arrows should be fair, and His Majesty cannot be the only one to punish." Shen Chun said with a smile, "If Huaizhi loses, then he will punish Huaizhi to copy for His Majesty. If His Majesty loses..."
Shen Chun's tone was elongated, looking at the little emperor's round eyes, he said: "Your Majesty, copy it for Huaizhi, and take your own too."
Feng Feibai's hand that was about to nock the arrow paused, and the arrow fell to the ground. He hurried to pick it up, but there was already a tangled ball inside.
It already takes one hour to finish copying once, and six hours to copy it six times. You don’t have to do anything in a day, just copy the book.
"What does the Empress Dowager think?" Shen Chun asked.
The queen mother was very disturbed. She knew that King Yi was good at manipulating people's hearts, but she didn't know that he could even touch children's thoughts.
Children are no better than adults, their thoughts are always hard to hide, especially copying books, which is something my son doesn't like to do on weekdays.
Although she said to hide her strength and bide her time, His Majesty couldn't handle it properly, instead he often lost his guard because of this person's deceptive appearance.
"What King Yi said is very true." The queen mother could only speak like this, looking at Feng Feibai anxiously, hoping that her son could understand what he meant.
"That's fair and just." Shen Chun said with a smile.
Feng Feibai picked up the small bow, put the arrow on it, looked at the target, and knew that his mother must let him miss the shot, but if he lost, he would copy the book six times. After hesitating, he let go of his fingers, and then The arrow hit the outside of the bullseye.
Feng Feibai subconsciously glanced at Shen Chun, and felt a little bored when he didn't get the slightest approval from it.
Seeing this scene, the queen mother was slightly relieved.
Archery comes in turns, and three arrows determine the outcome. Jian Huaizhi raised the bow after Feng Feibai abdicated. He is only ten years old, but the teachings of his family are all in his heart. At critical moments, we must protect His Majesty.
The arrow feather flew out and hit the bull's-eye.
"Huaizhi's arrows are not bad, it shows that he has worked hard at ordinary times." Shen Chun said.
In this entire Dayong, when it comes to archery, the regent dares to be the second, and no one dares to be the first. An arrow through the window that day is a good story. Even Jian Huaizhi's martial arts master may not be able to get him a word of praise. Hearing this , Jian Huaizhi clenched his bow and tried his best to recite the teachings at home silently, but he was still happy in his heart: "Thank you, King Yi, for your praise."
Jian Huaizhi pursed her lips to express her joy, but Feng Feibai was very depressed. He knew that he was not bad, but he had to pretend to be bad, not to mention that he didn't get compliments, but he still had to copy books!
The little emperor was upset, and it was inevitable that he brought it to the face. His cheeks, which were already chubby with babies, swelled up, full of anger.
Shen Chun's gaze was delicate, and he smiled and said, "It's Your Majesty's turn."
They are all children, if one praises the other and doesn't, they will naturally be unconvinced.
Keep a low profile?It is indeed owed [-] points, and some learn.
"Your Majesty." The Queen Mother reminded.
But Feng Feibai was still sullen, he took a deep breath when he took the arrow, but when he released it, he landed on the outermost edge of the target.
This arrow satisfied the Queen Mother, but it made Feng Feibai's eyes widen. He was clearly serious about this arrow!why? !
But before he could sort out his thoughts, it was Jian Huaizhi's turn again, and the arrow feather hit the bull's-eye again.
Shen Chun said with a smile: "General Jian's son really lives up to his reputation. If he grows up, he will become one of our Dayong generals in the future."
Jian Huaizhi took a deep breath, almost unable to hold back the smile on her lips: "Wang Yi is absurd."
His ambition is to become a tiger general like his father, and if he can be praised by King Yi, he will surely succeed.
Feng Feibai watched them come and go, and bit his lips when he raised the arrow again, but children are not proficient inadvertently, the more eager for success, the more impetuous their emotions, the easier it is to make mistakes. When flying out with the bull's-eye, Feng Fei's white eyes were already sore, but his upbringing of etiquette did not allow him to make trouble again.
Then Jian Huaizhi hit the bullseye again.
"Huai Zhi won this round, come here." Shen Chun said.
Jian Huaizhi walked over: "Yi Wang ordered."
Shen Chun stretched out his hand, touched his bones and said: "Huaizhi is good at bows, and his bones are not bad. This bow is not strong enough. There is a bow in my palace, which was used to shoot wild geese when I was young. It is just for you. Practice well."
Wild geese fly high, it is difficult to shoot, but if you can pull it away and shoot with the strength of a child, that bow is definitely a good bow.
"Thank you, King Yi." Jian Huai couldn't hide her joy and cupped her fists.
It is not difficult for Shen Chun to subdue a child, but the two of them talked and laughed at Yan Yan, but the little emperor clenched his bow tightly, his eyes blurred for a while, obviously he can do it, he also wants this person to shoot The bow and arrow of wild geese.
A small sob caused Shen Chun to look away, and as far as he could see, the little emperor stood under the sun and clenched his teeth tightly, tears were already spinning in his eyes, but he tried his best not to let them fall.
The queen mother was already startled, when she wanted to say something, she saw Shen Chun getting up and walking in front of her son with a very high spirit.
"I would like to admit defeat, Your Majesty is indeed inferior to others." Shen Chun asked looking at the little water droplets hanging on the little emperor's eyelashes.
Sure enough, he is good-looking, and he is flattering.
Shen Chun never liked children crying because it was unreasonable, but the appearance of the little emperor holding back his tears, with the tip of his nose and cheeks flushed, and only black grape-like eyes dripping with water was really hard to hate.
"I'm not..." Feng Fei was criticized in vain, and felt even more sad. He wanted to wipe away his tears casually so it wouldn't be so embarrassing, but his waist tightened, and he was already hugged.
His little bow fell to the ground, and he put his hand on Shen Chun's shoulder. When he blinked in surprise, the tears that were suppressed in his eyes had already slid down his cheeks.
Shen Chun hugged the little emperor and sat down again, asked the maid at the side for a handkerchief, wiped the red eyes and face with his hand and said: "Your Majesty doesn't cry, since your skills are not as good as others, you should practice hard in the future."
His arms were strong, and he sat on his lap and was supported by one hand. The light incense lingered on his nose, which made the little emperor unable to regain his senses for a long time. He had already forgotten why he was sad just now.
Shen Chun's move was beyond everyone's expectations. Not only was the little emperor surprised, but Jian Huaizhi was even more surprised. The queen mother on the side was even more surprised and almost jumped up, especially when she saw her son's well-behaved appearance in Shen Chun's arms. It was like jumping around in the crocodile's mouth, and the whole person was almost suffocated.
"Yi Wang, Your Majesty is sweating all over." The queen mother said cryptically.
"I will practice hard in the future." The little emperor looked straight at Shen Chun's face.
He used to sit in front of the regent and read the memorial, but he had never sat like this. Even his father rarely hugged him like this before. It would be great if his father was still there.
Shen Chun naturally heard the Queen Mother's words, and knew what she meant, but they were the ones who plotted against him, and now they are the ones who are on guard, how can they take up all the good things.
Not only did Shen Chun not let him go, but he pinched the little emperor's cheek and said: "Your Majesty's bow and arrow is not good, it is because of the martial arts master's teaching is not good, the minister is not talented, only the bow and arrow can be used, if your majesty does not dislike it, the future minister How to teach His Majesty?"
His words were extremely humble, but the meaning in the words made the little emperor extremely happy. For a while, he had already forgotten what his mother said, and only thought about the time when he was apprenticed: "Really?"
"Really." Shen Chun said.
The queen mother was so flustered that she couldn't bear it: "It's better not to bother King Yi for such a trivial matter, so as not to delay the business."
"Your Majesty's business is business." Shen Chun looked at the Empress Dowager and said with a smile, "Perhaps the Empress Dowager wants to find another famous teacher for Her Majesty, if Shen is defeated, naturally she will not dare to teach Her Majesty again."
After the words came out, the mother could not say anything more, but looked at her son with a worried face, and felt that her eyes were dark.
Shen Chun is indeed a very deep planner, if His Majesty is unguarded and hostile towards him in the future, wouldn't it be that the world will be handed over to him.
With Shen Chun personally teaching, Feng Feibai's arrows hit the bull's-eye again and again, and one afternoon passed, and he was still jumping for joy when he returned to the palace.
The Empress Dowager told the people who were leaving the palace, looked at her happy son and sighed, "Your Majesty."
Her tone was heavy, and the joy in Feng Feibai's heart fell, the smile on his face disappeared, and his brows frowned: "Mother, did my son do something wrong?"
He only cared about being happy, but forgot to hide his edge.
As a mother, I don't want my son to be happy every day, but parents love their son, and they must have far-reaching plans. If a momentary happiness may kill, it is better to never be happy.
This is the sorrow of a child born in the palace, but in such a situation, one cannot afford to be careless.
"Your Majesty must listen to King Yi's words, but you must not reveal your superiority too much." The queen mother took his hand and said, "Fei Bai, for the sake of Dayong's country, the queen mother and the clan, you have to endure your own sorrows and joys, Otherwise, once the country falls into the hands of others, the lives of you and my mother and children will be lost, do you understand?"
"Yi Wang, he saved us." Feng Feibai couldn't imagine that that person would kill them.
He always felt that that person would not.
"That's because His Majesty hasn't touched his interests." The queen mother said seriously, "The glory and changes brought about by the throne are too great. Before your father sat on the throne of God, he was always humble, but after he sat on it, everything One word can determine the fate of others, and it will change after a long time. Now King Yi has no intention of killing you and me. If His Majesty grows up in the future and the world is orthodox, he may not be willing to return power. If he does not restrain his edge, I am afraid You and my mother may not be able to wait until then."
The seriousness of what she said was her personal experience in the court all her life, Feng Feibai lowered her eyes, but swallowed back what she wanted to say, and finally only said: "I know."
He is not a child protected by his father, he... cannot be willful.
……
The longer Shen Chun was in charge, the tighter the power above the court would be. Feng Feibai had no room to intervene, and he did not dare to intervene.
"There are quite a lot of generals under King Yi's command, but I found out from the investigation that there was a General Lu Ke who led [-] troops, but he falsely reported his military salary, deceived his superiors, and even melted and sold the weapons for his own use. King Yi thought that he should How to deal with it?" A courtier reported.
Although the court is stable, there are still veterans who are not convinced, so they look for loopholes everywhere and pick on the disadvantages.
Dayong didn't behead the officials, Shen Chun is now deciding the affairs of the world, sometimes his subordinates do not have scruples, and with them, he saves himself a lot of trouble.
"What do you think, Your Majesty?" Shen Chun looked at the sitting emperor and said.
Five years is enough to turn a former child into a young man like a pine tree. The emperor sitting in a high position wears a court dress, which is embroidered with auspicious clouds and dragons in gold thread, with a jade belt buckling his waist, a high crown and hair. The eyebrows and eyes are three points similar to the queen when she was young, but her face is like a crown of jade. It can be seen that she is handsome in adulthood, but her temper is much more restrained.
The young emperor opened his mouth, and his voice in the voice-changing period was not as clear as it used to be, and it became a little more magnetic: "I read the booklet handed over, and according to what it says, Lu Ke embezzled the military salary, and he should be punished for his crime, but Dayong pays attention to evidence. If we don't escort him back to Beijing and make a decision after detailed interrogation, what does Ai Qing think?"
The court hall was a little quiet, Shen Chun twirled his fingers and said: "Since it has been verified, it is enough to beheaded for public display, so there is no need to waste manpower and material resources."
"Yi Wang is wise." All the courtiers said.
Feng Fei clenched his fingers under the white-sleeved robe tightly, but he never showed the slightest bit of dissatisfaction. Years of forbearance had already allowed him to hone the ability to be invisible.
The older he was, the more he read, the more he learned, the more he knew what Shen Chun's power meant to him. He, the emperor, was nothing but a puppet.
"Just beheaded Lu Ke, which general should be promoted to lead these ten thousand soldiers?" A courtier said.
The Imperial Forest Army in the capital was only [-], and [-] soldiers and horses were by no means a small number. The courtiers' thoughts were fluttering, Feng Feibai's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at a corner of the court hall.
"There is a general under King Yi's command, Wang Du, who was born in King Yi's own army. He is now a deputy general, and he can lead 1 people, which is more than enough." The Minister of War said.
"I think it's wrong. Wang Du has no experience in personally leading troops, so I recommend General Ji Tao." Another courtier said.
"General An led this army before, and he was the deputy general. I think..."
The courtiers talked a lot, Feng Feibai rubbed his sleeves slightly with his fingers, Shen Chun listened to what the crowd said, turned his eyes to the little emperor and said: "Which general does your Majesty think is worthy of an important responsibility."
"I'm not proficient in leading soldiers." Feng Feibai said.
"So that's the case, what does Your Majesty think of General Ji Tao?" Shen Chun looked at the little emperor's straight back and asked with a smile.
He seemed to be just asking casually, but there are several generals recommended by the courtiers, and only Ji Tao is Feng Feibai's.
Feng Feibai's mind tensed up, and his mind was a little blank. He always felt that this person knew, but he couldn't confirm it: "Ji Tao is young, and I'm afraid he can't handle this important task."
"Your Majesty's words are true. I think Wang Du is good." Shen Chun said, "How about leaving the matter of leading the army to him?"
"What King Yi said is reasonable." Feng Feibai's tone froze.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Chun smiled.
The little emperor's every move is naturally under his control. As the saying goes, if civil officials rebel, it will take three years to fail. It is indeed a good start to think about military power, but even though there is violence, the methods are still too immature.
Since the first emperor dared to scheme against him, the little emperor wanted to gain power, so naturally he had to work hard on his own and slowly seize it. Although he was a little nervous, he would not take the little emperor's life in the end.
When retreating from the court, Shen Chun bowed and saluted, leaving first, and then the officials retreated slowly, only Yao Guogong looked at the standing emperor and sighed: "Your Majesty, I will endure what ordinary people can't bear, and tolerate what ordinary people can't bear. For great wisdom."
"Thank you for your teaching, Grandpa." Feng Feibai said.
He naturally knows the importance of the word forbearance, but Shen Chun's persecution has become more and more serious recently, and every time he is caught off guard, he can only give in step by step. It is aware of the slightest bit.
……
"Marshal, how do you plan to solve Luke's pockets?" Liang Wendong asked with his hands clasped.
"A soldier's pay is a soldier's money for selling his life. It's a thing for risking his life." Shen Chun handed him the warrant and said, "If you get involved in this, beheading is too cheap, and you will be executed immediately."
"Yes!" Liang Wendong bowed his head.
The guards in the palace were heavily guarded, only the eunuch hurriedly walked in front of the emperor, lowered his head and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, King Yi has changed his decision, and Lu Keling will be executed soon."
The pen in Feng Feibai's hand paused, and the ink on the white paper turned black: "Is he warning me?"
Luke is corrupt and must be executed, and Ling Chi is not an exaggeration, but after mentioning Ji Tao, he may really be trying to make an example of others.
"Your Majesty, don't panic. Although King Yi has a strong intention to kill, he never kills innocent people. You can see that in the court hall who always oppose but get promoted." The chief eunuch comforted.
"I know." Feng Feibai put the pen back, looked at the ink on the paper and said.
He naturally knew that under King Yi's rule, innocent people were never killed indiscriminately. As long as the clan relatives did not oppress others, there was no question of guilt.
Under the rule of King Yi, he was lenient and strict, the treasury was rich, and the world was peaceful. Compared with the time when his father was in power, it can be said that the situation was completely new. The people only knew King Yi, but did not know that Emperor Chen Yuan was due to his political achievements.
Feng Feibai wasn't even sure if he could do better than him after taking back what belonged to him. He admired that person, and he has admired him since he first saw him when he was a child, but he was also afraid, just like the queen mother said, No matter how well the king does it, it is still a knife hanging above your head. You don't know when it will fall. It is better to get rid of it than to worry about it every day.
After many years of forbearance, Feng Feibai became more and more uncertain whether he could do it.
Even sometimes I don't understand myself, Shen Chun is kind to their mother and son, if he took away all the pride and power from that person, wouldn't it be revenge?
But what he took away was something that should belong to him.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." the chief eunuch called several times.
"What?" Feng Feibai raised his head and asked.
"King Yi is here." The chief eunuch reminded.
Feng Feibai pursed his lips, sat up straight and said, "Please come in, King Yi."
"Meet Your Majesty, Your Majesty Jin'an." Shen Chun saluted respectfully.
Although he has plundered power for so many years and intensified the pressure on the little emperor step by step, there are few mistakes and omissions in etiquette, and people can't handle it.
"I have said many times that Ai Qing doesn't need to be too polite when she sees me." Feng Feibai cast his eyes on His Highness, looked at the man's eyebrows and eyes and salutes that seemed to be smiling naturally, especially puzzled why he saluted in the same way. It is much better looking than others.
"Etiquette is undeniable." After Shen Chun saluted, he turned his head and motioned to those who followed.
The guard carried the thick memorial up, and the chief eunuch took it and placed it on the imperial table. Feng Feibai glanced at it and said, "These are all new memorials?"
"It's newly approved." Shen Chun said with a smile, "Your Majesty can take a look."
"Give King Yi a seat." Feng Feibai said.
There was a seat on the left side of the imperial table, and Shen Chun stepped up to the high seat and said, "I won't read it to Your Majesty today."
Feng Feibai suddenly looked at him and said, "Why?"
"Your Majesty still doesn't know the words?" Shen Chun raised his eyebrows.
"...Not at all." Feng Feibai felt a little regretful in his heart. He had been on the throne for more than five years, nearly six years, and since he was eight years old when he read the memorials, Shen Chun always read them and listened to them.
The voice was neither too fast nor too slow, even though it was a kind of enjoyment to think about the state affairs every time you need to rack your brains, is it going to stop now?
Looking at the memorial is also something that Feng Feibai doesn't understand. This person can clearly fool the courtiers with those trivial things, but he always shows him the important things. Although he has no decision-making power, he has seen many. What the courtier said can also think of countermeasures.
This kind of thing will make Feng Feibai feel that Shen Chun is cultivating him, but every time he has such a guess, the forces he is trying to win over will be cut off one by one by Yi Wang, and only the most obscure ones will remain.
His eyes flicked across the memorial, but Feng Feibai's eyes fell on the person sitting beside him unconsciously.
More than five years hadn't brought much change to Shen Chun. He was lazy and flirtatious all day long, and he looked harmless, but everyone knew that he was a ferocious beast in a resting state. Dead without a whole body.
It took five years for Feng Feibai to understand his fear, but he couldn't help being close to him.
He was afraid of him, yet wanted to see him, so conflicted and troubled.
"What questions does Your Majesty have?" Shen Chun naturally noticed the little emperor's gaze.
"Not at all." Feng Feibai hurriedly withdrew his gaze and focused on the memorial.
There are a lot of memorials, but there are replies later, Feng Feibai will read Shen Chun's Zhu Zhu after every time he thinks about it, but even if he feels that he has thought everything through, he will always find omissions when he reads it.
He didn't notice it when he saw it, but he didn't know that in Shen Chun's eyes, the emperor sighed and frowned, and it was only at this time that the little emperor would show his true temperament.
Although he is smart and quick-witted, he has already learned many skills at the age of 14, and he also knows how to read words and expressions. It is not an exaggeration to call him a child prodigy, but in Shen Chun's view, he is just a child.
The handling of state affairs already has the potential of being a wise monarch, but others still need to be cultivated. This is also the reason Yao Guogong said.
Two hours after Feng Feibai finished reading the memorial, when he looked up and saw Shen Chun, his mood gradually became complicated, but he also felt inexplicably at ease.
Although Shen Chun seized power, he never treated harshly and framed him. Even if he regained power in the future, it would not hurt his life.
It's just that if it really succeeds, I'm afraid this person will still hate him.
"What is His Majesty thinking?" Shen Chun asked.
Feng Feibai straightened his back, his thoughts turned and he said: "I've finished watching."
"What's your opinion?" Shen Chun asked.
Feng Feibai didn't dare to reveal too much, and only picked out the obvious, but every time he met Shen Chun's eyes, there was a feeling of being seen through, as if everything hidden in his eyes was like a trick.
"Your Majesty has grown up." Shen Chun got up, patted his shoulder, turned and left with a smile.
He came and went freely, but Feng Feibai's heart was in a mess.
Time flies, and another four years have passed. In the past four years, the national treasury has been filled.
Tears were streaming down his face, obviously extremely terrified of being sent back.
Shen Chun stopped in her tracks, looked down at the hands tightly clutching her robe and said, "What will happen if you send it back?"
His gaze stayed, Liu Zhuqing quickly let go of the corner of the clothes, but she was afraid that he would leave, and she held it lightly, her voice trembling slightly: "I will be sent to Uncle Chang."
There were a lot of fireworks in the Yong Dynasty, most of which were romantic affairs between men and women, but in order to find novelty, dignitaries would inevitably have a manly man, but this matter was rarely brought up on the stage, as the well-known good man like Uncle Chang Male sex is rare.
But even if it is rarely mentioned on the stage, as long as the matter of masculinity does not involve government affairs, it is just a matter of talking and laughing.
Uncle Chang is not involved in government affairs, but he has a fat belly and is dressed in fine clothes, he looks like a member of the village, and he is also in his forties this year.
He did not have much real power, and he never raped men from good families, and what he came into contact with were skinny horses raised by people in the hall or other officials. Under this kind of system, Shen Chun naturally would not rush to make trouble.
"You think he's ugly?" Shen Chun stroked the hem of his clothes and sat down and asked.
Liu Zhuqing's fingers trembled, she bent down and said, "Zhuqing dare not."
"Don't dare..." Shen Chun looked at him and said, "Who sent you here, and where did you come from?"
"Zhuqing was selected by Li Shangshu from the Nanfeng Pavilion and sold there when he was young..." Liu Zhuqing looked up at him, but when he met his gaze, he quickly withdrew his eyes, "Zhuqing is very clean and has never served others .”
There are a lot of people buying and selling fireworks in the land of fireworks, and there are many reasons. Some kidnappers send them, and some parents have a lot of children who want to exchange money.
And for those children who are sold in, they have no choice. Once they enter it, all their pride will be crushed under the stick.
"It's a poor man." Shen Chun got up and smiled, "I don't keep anyone around me, but I can show you a good place. Since you were born in a palace, you can't stay in the capital. Do you want to go to Jiangnan? There is a Biezhuang there, you should be literate, as a book boy, can you manage those books?"
Zhuqing was originally hopeless, but now he is in a desperate situation, he suppressed his tears, got off the bed, and saluted on the ground: "Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord."
"Liang Wendong, come in." Shen Chun shouted towards the door.
"Here we come, Marshal." Liang Wendong hurried in, but his head was almost lowered to his chest, afraid of seeing something that shouldn't be seen.
It is not difficult to send a person away, a carriage and two guards are enough.
As the carriage left, Liang Wendong stood in front of Shen Chun and lowered his head, not daring to say anything more.
"The time is so short, is there something wrong with the Marshal's health?" Shen Chun looked at his expression and asked.
"How do you..." Know? !
Liang Wendong raised his head abruptly, and silently bowed his head when meeting Shen Chun's subtle expression, admitting his mistake: "This subordinate dare not speculate like this."
"You don't dare?" Shen Chun said with a smile, "Forget it, you just need to know that I promised one person and one thing, just not being close to others, and from now on, no matter male or female, I will reject them all."
"Yes, this subordinate knows his mistake." Liang Wendong said.
It turns out that the Marshal has a sweetheart in mind!If people find out about this, wouldn't it be a misunderstanding, it's all his fault, he's acting in a muddleheaded way, but he doesn't know what the Marshal's sweetheart looks like to make the Marshal keep his promise.
"Look up the population of the Fireworks Land as well." Shen Chun said.
The people who bought and sold were rare in the Yong Dynasty. People were employed in the palace, dignitaries recruited servants, plus jugglers, and the Kung Fu troupe came from here. Well, it's pitiful. It is impossible for Shen Chun to completely terminate this law. Once it is terminated, the entire system will be impacted. What he can solve is the abduction issue. The household registration does need to be strictly managed, but that is to be done with the minister. negotiated
"Yes, this subordinate takes orders." Liang Wendong replied.
"Well, and also, let someone replace all the things in the room." Shen Chun glanced at the bed and said.
He doesn't like others to touch his things, especially when they leave a rich and sweet aroma on them.
"Yes." Liang Wendong bowed his head.
……
In the past, there were many beauties who were sent to Prince Yi's mansion, but no matter how beautiful they were, they were all sent back as they were, and they had never even seen Prince Yi's face, so it was Shen Chun's first time to keep someone. Everyone in the court started talking about it.
The person was given by Li Shangshu, but the person who gave the gift was not because of his official position, but because it was a man, no matter how beautiful he was or what his status was, it was a man.
Originally, there were speculations and discussions about Shen Chun's preferences in the government and the public, but once this incident happened, it confirmed the rumors that King Yi is a good man.
"It doesn't necessarily mean that you have to be a man, but if you have a good relationship with a woman, you will inevitably have troubles afterwards. If you make a child before the main wife enters the door, you will inevitably look bad. If you are a man, you don't have such worries."
"It's the same, Li Shangshu really knows how to choose people."
"It's just that I didn't expect that such a handsome man as King Yi would like men."
"You don't listen to the rumors, like King Yi, even men want to get close."
"So, I don't know who is taking advantage of whom."
As soon as this incident happened, many more beauties went to Prince Yi's mansion, but this time they all returned them, and the rumors of special favors were rampant.
They don't care how the government and the public talk about Shen Chun. If they really meet someone who is interested in this world in the future, they can explain one or two things. If they don't, then don't worry about it.
There are many government affairs in the imperial court, and when all kinds of things are handled almost, it is already the time when the peach blossoms are in full bloom in March.
The imperial garden in the palace is not very big, but the flowers and trees are carefully cultivated, the flowers are in full bloom, and the sky is full of red fragrance.
Shen Chun didn't bring a lot of people with him when he went out like the emperor, at most two or three guards, or alone.
This kind of randomness is not because no one has thought about it, it's just that there are countless assassins sent by all parties, but none of them can hurt him. Instead, it hurts his own manpower, let Shen Chun follow the vine to find a few more melons , so that the two vassal kings were taken back and all their powers were thrown into prison.
As soon as this happened, very few people were sent to assassinate them, just because they remembered that Shen Chun, apart from being the regent, was once the marshal of the Northwest Army who slapped Fang Qiu. .
The emperor was young, and there were no concubines in the palace except the empress dowager. Even if there were women, they were just maids in charge of sweeping and cleaning in various palaces. It was also convenient for Shen Chun to enjoy the scenery in the imperial garden when he had nothing to do.
After all, princes and ministers still have to be recruited to the palace to discuss matters. Even if he holds great power, he cannot openly recruit ministers to the palace to discuss matters.
The path is winding, fighting and snakes, deep in the peach blossoms and willows, there are faint voices of talking and laughing, which seems to be extraordinarily lively in spring.
Shen Chun's footsteps paused, and he looked through the flower branches, there was a small archery target under the gazebo not far away, and several palace guards were guarding it, and the little emperor was shooting arrows at the target in a normal uniform.
The bow is a small bow, and the arrow is also a small arrow. The strength is not very strong, but the arrows shot are very accurate.
"Fei Bai's shot is awesome!" The queen mother sitting in the gazebo praised.
"The queen mother is ridiculously praised." The little emperor blushed slightly after being praised, but took another arrow from the arrow basket, and his attitude was a little more serious than before.
He shot three arrows in a row, and all three arrows hit the bull's-eye. The queen mother praised and praised, and pulled him over to wipe the thin sweat from the sun with a veil.
"Huaizhi, it's your turn." Feng Feibai said to the young man waiting by his side, "If you can't win, I will punish you."
"Of course I won't lose." The young man held his bow and said.
Jian Huaizhi, the grandson of the elder Jian Ge, was once the companion of the sixteenth prince, Feng Feibai. When the new emperor ascended the throne, he was still by his side. He was only about ten years old, but he was born half a head taller than the little emperor, handsome and handsome We have seen the clues.
The young man holds the bow, nocks the arrow and shoots immediately, his movements are quick, and the same arrows all hit the bull's-eye.
"Hui Zhi shot well." The queen mother also praised.
Although they all hit the bull's-eye, there are obviously some differences. The little emperor's fair face is clearly dissatisfied: "This is a tie, Huaizhi will have to compare again."
"Compare again." Jian Huaizhi raised his chin slightly and said.
Accompanying each other when they were young, Xindi has no pretensions when he is young, he does not get along like adults, but is much more casual.
Shen Chun looked at it for a while, and didn't want to disturb, turned around and walked a few steps, but met the palace lady who hurried over with a fruit plate.
Although the distance is very far, but I have seen it, and there is no way to avoid it.
"Greetings to Prince Yi." The three maids hurriedly came to salute and say hello with fruit plates in their hands. Their expressions were cautious, and they were obviously from the Queen Mother's palace.
"Get up." Shen Chun raised his hand, turned around and looked at the gazebo, the competition there had stopped.
Since you are aware of it, it is really impossible not to see it.
Shen Chun walked over with his hands behind his back, the previous laughter and laughter had long since disappeared, the court ladies all knelt down to salute, even the empress dowager who was sitting stood up, her expression was dignified, but her eyes couldn't hide the nervousness.
"Greetings, Your Majesty, and the Empress Dowager." Shen Chun walked up to him and bowed his hands.
"Ai Qing is flat, so you don't need to be too polite." Feng Feibai tightened his hand holding the small bow, but he couldn't stop looking at Shen Chun.
"King Yi doesn't need to be too polite." The Queen Mother walked out of the pavilion, her loose clothes covering the small bow in Feng Feibai's hand, "Why is King Yi free to come to the imperial garden today?"
Although she is an empress dowager, it is not a safe position. After her husband dies, the mother's glory must be given by her son, but the youngest son is still young and has no power to protect himself. If he makes a careless move, he may fall down. The high seat is just an immediate matter.
Although she was grateful to Shen Chun for saving her twice, she was even more afraid of him.
Dynasty Yi was busy with government affairs, so he seldom set foot in the imperial garden. He just chose today's good weather, and when his son came up, he let them compete here, but he didn't want to be so unlucky.
"It's all about going out to relax when I'm busy." Shen Chun looked at the expressions of the mother and the son, smiled slightly, stepped into the gazebo and sat down, he took the cup, and some palace servants went up to offer tea cautiously, and the cup was on the table Playing with the hands, Shen Chun's eyes moved to the target and said, "Your Majesty's arrows are pretty good."
The emperor did not sit, but the courtiers sat first. It is disrespectful to put it in any dynasty or generation, but no one present dared to say anything, only Jian Huai hesitated to speak, but swallowed back the words in his stomach .
Now King Yi in the court is in the same position as an emperor, the army, the court and the hearts of the people are all in his hands, even His Majesty can only avoid his edge.
The queen mother forced a smile and said, "Wang Yi is absurd, but it's just a child's toy."
"Oh? So that's the case." Shen Chun looked at the little emperor with red lips and white teeth and said with a smile, "Your Majesty just said it was a draw. If Huaizhi loses, he will be punished. What is the punishment?"
When he said it was a draw, the Empress Dowager knew that he was not a newcomer, but naturally watched from the sidelines for a long time.
Feng Feibai knew that this was arrogance, but he also knew that resistance was useless. He glanced at his mother, and said before receiving any hints: "If Huaizhi loses, I will write the copy book arranged by the Taifu for me."
His cheeks were reddish, obviously embarrassed.
"So that's how it is. Since it's a draw, let's do it again." Shen Chun didn't move, obviously wanting to wait and see here.
The Empress Dowager's face was slightly pale, and she wanted to say something, but in the end she just pressed Feng Feibai's shoulder and sat down in the gazebo again.
The weather was still slightly cool in March, and even in the gazebo, there hadn't been any major activities, but the Queen Mother felt a feeling of sweat all over her body.
Feng Feibai touched his shoulder, held the little bow and pressed his lips together, the queen mother said to hide her strength and bide her time, then she could only lose.
"How many times did the Grand Tutor ask His Majesty to copy?" Shen Chun asked when the little emperor raised his bow.
Feng Feibai said, "Three times."
Those taught by the Taifu would take a lot of time to copy no matter which one, so it is no wonder that the little emperor lied and said that he would be punished.
"Comparing arrows should be fair, and His Majesty cannot be the only one to punish." Shen Chun said with a smile, "If Huaizhi loses, then he will punish Huaizhi to copy for His Majesty. If His Majesty loses..."
Shen Chun's tone was elongated, looking at the little emperor's round eyes, he said: "Your Majesty, copy it for Huaizhi, and take your own too."
Feng Feibai's hand that was about to nock the arrow paused, and the arrow fell to the ground. He hurried to pick it up, but there was already a tangled ball inside.
It already takes one hour to finish copying once, and six hours to copy it six times. You don’t have to do anything in a day, just copy the book.
"What does the Empress Dowager think?" Shen Chun asked.
The queen mother was very disturbed. She knew that King Yi was good at manipulating people's hearts, but she didn't know that he could even touch children's thoughts.
Children are no better than adults, their thoughts are always hard to hide, especially copying books, which is something my son doesn't like to do on weekdays.
Although she said to hide her strength and bide her time, His Majesty couldn't handle it properly, instead he often lost his guard because of this person's deceptive appearance.
"What King Yi said is very true." The queen mother could only speak like this, looking at Feng Feibai anxiously, hoping that her son could understand what he meant.
"That's fair and just." Shen Chun said with a smile.
Feng Feibai picked up the small bow, put the arrow on it, looked at the target, and knew that his mother must let him miss the shot, but if he lost, he would copy the book six times. After hesitating, he let go of his fingers, and then The arrow hit the outside of the bullseye.
Feng Feibai subconsciously glanced at Shen Chun, and felt a little bored when he didn't get the slightest approval from it.
Seeing this scene, the queen mother was slightly relieved.
Archery comes in turns, and three arrows determine the outcome. Jian Huaizhi raised the bow after Feng Feibai abdicated. He is only ten years old, but the teachings of his family are all in his heart. At critical moments, we must protect His Majesty.
The arrow feather flew out and hit the bull's-eye.
"Huaizhi's arrows are not bad, it shows that he has worked hard at ordinary times." Shen Chun said.
In this entire Dayong, when it comes to archery, the regent dares to be the second, and no one dares to be the first. An arrow through the window that day is a good story. Even Jian Huaizhi's martial arts master may not be able to get him a word of praise. Hearing this , Jian Huaizhi clenched his bow and tried his best to recite the teachings at home silently, but he was still happy in his heart: "Thank you, King Yi, for your praise."
Jian Huaizhi pursed her lips to express her joy, but Feng Feibai was very depressed. He knew that he was not bad, but he had to pretend to be bad, not to mention that he didn't get compliments, but he still had to copy books!
The little emperor was upset, and it was inevitable that he brought it to the face. His cheeks, which were already chubby with babies, swelled up, full of anger.
Shen Chun's gaze was delicate, and he smiled and said, "It's Your Majesty's turn."
They are all children, if one praises the other and doesn't, they will naturally be unconvinced.
Keep a low profile?It is indeed owed [-] points, and some learn.
"Your Majesty." The Queen Mother reminded.
But Feng Feibai was still sullen, he took a deep breath when he took the arrow, but when he released it, he landed on the outermost edge of the target.
This arrow satisfied the Queen Mother, but it made Feng Feibai's eyes widen. He was clearly serious about this arrow!why? !
But before he could sort out his thoughts, it was Jian Huaizhi's turn again, and the arrow feather hit the bull's-eye again.
Shen Chun said with a smile: "General Jian's son really lives up to his reputation. If he grows up, he will become one of our Dayong generals in the future."
Jian Huaizhi took a deep breath, almost unable to hold back the smile on her lips: "Wang Yi is absurd."
His ambition is to become a tiger general like his father, and if he can be praised by King Yi, he will surely succeed.
Feng Feibai watched them come and go, and bit his lips when he raised the arrow again, but children are not proficient inadvertently, the more eager for success, the more impetuous their emotions, the easier it is to make mistakes. When flying out with the bull's-eye, Feng Fei's white eyes were already sore, but his upbringing of etiquette did not allow him to make trouble again.
Then Jian Huaizhi hit the bullseye again.
"Huai Zhi won this round, come here." Shen Chun said.
Jian Huaizhi walked over: "Yi Wang ordered."
Shen Chun stretched out his hand, touched his bones and said: "Huaizhi is good at bows, and his bones are not bad. This bow is not strong enough. There is a bow in my palace, which was used to shoot wild geese when I was young. It is just for you. Practice well."
Wild geese fly high, it is difficult to shoot, but if you can pull it away and shoot with the strength of a child, that bow is definitely a good bow.
"Thank you, King Yi." Jian Huai couldn't hide her joy and cupped her fists.
It is not difficult for Shen Chun to subdue a child, but the two of them talked and laughed at Yan Yan, but the little emperor clenched his bow tightly, his eyes blurred for a while, obviously he can do it, he also wants this person to shoot The bow and arrow of wild geese.
A small sob caused Shen Chun to look away, and as far as he could see, the little emperor stood under the sun and clenched his teeth tightly, tears were already spinning in his eyes, but he tried his best not to let them fall.
The queen mother was already startled, when she wanted to say something, she saw Shen Chun getting up and walking in front of her son with a very high spirit.
"I would like to admit defeat, Your Majesty is indeed inferior to others." Shen Chun asked looking at the little water droplets hanging on the little emperor's eyelashes.
Sure enough, he is good-looking, and he is flattering.
Shen Chun never liked children crying because it was unreasonable, but the appearance of the little emperor holding back his tears, with the tip of his nose and cheeks flushed, and only black grape-like eyes dripping with water was really hard to hate.
"I'm not..." Feng Fei was criticized in vain, and felt even more sad. He wanted to wipe away his tears casually so it wouldn't be so embarrassing, but his waist tightened, and he was already hugged.
His little bow fell to the ground, and he put his hand on Shen Chun's shoulder. When he blinked in surprise, the tears that were suppressed in his eyes had already slid down his cheeks.
Shen Chun hugged the little emperor and sat down again, asked the maid at the side for a handkerchief, wiped the red eyes and face with his hand and said: "Your Majesty doesn't cry, since your skills are not as good as others, you should practice hard in the future."
His arms were strong, and he sat on his lap and was supported by one hand. The light incense lingered on his nose, which made the little emperor unable to regain his senses for a long time. He had already forgotten why he was sad just now.
Shen Chun's move was beyond everyone's expectations. Not only was the little emperor surprised, but Jian Huaizhi was even more surprised. The queen mother on the side was even more surprised and almost jumped up, especially when she saw her son's well-behaved appearance in Shen Chun's arms. It was like jumping around in the crocodile's mouth, and the whole person was almost suffocated.
"Yi Wang, Your Majesty is sweating all over." The queen mother said cryptically.
"I will practice hard in the future." The little emperor looked straight at Shen Chun's face.
He used to sit in front of the regent and read the memorial, but he had never sat like this. Even his father rarely hugged him like this before. It would be great if his father was still there.
Shen Chun naturally heard the Queen Mother's words, and knew what she meant, but they were the ones who plotted against him, and now they are the ones who are on guard, how can they take up all the good things.
Not only did Shen Chun not let him go, but he pinched the little emperor's cheek and said: "Your Majesty's bow and arrow is not good, it is because of the martial arts master's teaching is not good, the minister is not talented, only the bow and arrow can be used, if your majesty does not dislike it, the future minister How to teach His Majesty?"
His words were extremely humble, but the meaning in the words made the little emperor extremely happy. For a while, he had already forgotten what his mother said, and only thought about the time when he was apprenticed: "Really?"
"Really." Shen Chun said.
The queen mother was so flustered that she couldn't bear it: "It's better not to bother King Yi for such a trivial matter, so as not to delay the business."
"Your Majesty's business is business." Shen Chun looked at the Empress Dowager and said with a smile, "Perhaps the Empress Dowager wants to find another famous teacher for Her Majesty, if Shen is defeated, naturally she will not dare to teach Her Majesty again."
After the words came out, the mother could not say anything more, but looked at her son with a worried face, and felt that her eyes were dark.
Shen Chun is indeed a very deep planner, if His Majesty is unguarded and hostile towards him in the future, wouldn't it be that the world will be handed over to him.
With Shen Chun personally teaching, Feng Feibai's arrows hit the bull's-eye again and again, and one afternoon passed, and he was still jumping for joy when he returned to the palace.
The Empress Dowager told the people who were leaving the palace, looked at her happy son and sighed, "Your Majesty."
Her tone was heavy, and the joy in Feng Feibai's heart fell, the smile on his face disappeared, and his brows frowned: "Mother, did my son do something wrong?"
He only cared about being happy, but forgot to hide his edge.
As a mother, I don't want my son to be happy every day, but parents love their son, and they must have far-reaching plans. If a momentary happiness may kill, it is better to never be happy.
This is the sorrow of a child born in the palace, but in such a situation, one cannot afford to be careless.
"Your Majesty must listen to King Yi's words, but you must not reveal your superiority too much." The queen mother took his hand and said, "Fei Bai, for the sake of Dayong's country, the queen mother and the clan, you have to endure your own sorrows and joys, Otherwise, once the country falls into the hands of others, the lives of you and my mother and children will be lost, do you understand?"
"Yi Wang, he saved us." Feng Feibai couldn't imagine that that person would kill them.
He always felt that that person would not.
"That's because His Majesty hasn't touched his interests." The queen mother said seriously, "The glory and changes brought about by the throne are too great. Before your father sat on the throne of God, he was always humble, but after he sat on it, everything One word can determine the fate of others, and it will change after a long time. Now King Yi has no intention of killing you and me. If His Majesty grows up in the future and the world is orthodox, he may not be willing to return power. If he does not restrain his edge, I am afraid You and my mother may not be able to wait until then."
The seriousness of what she said was her personal experience in the court all her life, Feng Feibai lowered her eyes, but swallowed back what she wanted to say, and finally only said: "I know."
He is not a child protected by his father, he... cannot be willful.
……
The longer Shen Chun was in charge, the tighter the power above the court would be. Feng Feibai had no room to intervene, and he did not dare to intervene.
"There are quite a lot of generals under King Yi's command, but I found out from the investigation that there was a General Lu Ke who led [-] troops, but he falsely reported his military salary, deceived his superiors, and even melted and sold the weapons for his own use. King Yi thought that he should How to deal with it?" A courtier reported.
Although the court is stable, there are still veterans who are not convinced, so they look for loopholes everywhere and pick on the disadvantages.
Dayong didn't behead the officials, Shen Chun is now deciding the affairs of the world, sometimes his subordinates do not have scruples, and with them, he saves himself a lot of trouble.
"What do you think, Your Majesty?" Shen Chun looked at the sitting emperor and said.
Five years is enough to turn a former child into a young man like a pine tree. The emperor sitting in a high position wears a court dress, which is embroidered with auspicious clouds and dragons in gold thread, with a jade belt buckling his waist, a high crown and hair. The eyebrows and eyes are three points similar to the queen when she was young, but her face is like a crown of jade. It can be seen that she is handsome in adulthood, but her temper is much more restrained.
The young emperor opened his mouth, and his voice in the voice-changing period was not as clear as it used to be, and it became a little more magnetic: "I read the booklet handed over, and according to what it says, Lu Ke embezzled the military salary, and he should be punished for his crime, but Dayong pays attention to evidence. If we don't escort him back to Beijing and make a decision after detailed interrogation, what does Ai Qing think?"
The court hall was a little quiet, Shen Chun twirled his fingers and said: "Since it has been verified, it is enough to beheaded for public display, so there is no need to waste manpower and material resources."
"Yi Wang is wise." All the courtiers said.
Feng Fei clenched his fingers under the white-sleeved robe tightly, but he never showed the slightest bit of dissatisfaction. Years of forbearance had already allowed him to hone the ability to be invisible.
The older he was, the more he read, the more he learned, the more he knew what Shen Chun's power meant to him. He, the emperor, was nothing but a puppet.
"Just beheaded Lu Ke, which general should be promoted to lead these ten thousand soldiers?" A courtier said.
The Imperial Forest Army in the capital was only [-], and [-] soldiers and horses were by no means a small number. The courtiers' thoughts were fluttering, Feng Feibai's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at a corner of the court hall.
"There is a general under King Yi's command, Wang Du, who was born in King Yi's own army. He is now a deputy general, and he can lead 1 people, which is more than enough." The Minister of War said.
"I think it's wrong. Wang Du has no experience in personally leading troops, so I recommend General Ji Tao." Another courtier said.
"General An led this army before, and he was the deputy general. I think..."
The courtiers talked a lot, Feng Feibai rubbed his sleeves slightly with his fingers, Shen Chun listened to what the crowd said, turned his eyes to the little emperor and said: "Which general does your Majesty think is worthy of an important responsibility."
"I'm not proficient in leading soldiers." Feng Feibai said.
"So that's the case, what does Your Majesty think of General Ji Tao?" Shen Chun looked at the little emperor's straight back and asked with a smile.
He seemed to be just asking casually, but there are several generals recommended by the courtiers, and only Ji Tao is Feng Feibai's.
Feng Feibai's mind tensed up, and his mind was a little blank. He always felt that this person knew, but he couldn't confirm it: "Ji Tao is young, and I'm afraid he can't handle this important task."
"Your Majesty's words are true. I think Wang Du is good." Shen Chun said, "How about leaving the matter of leading the army to him?"
"What King Yi said is reasonable." Feng Feibai's tone froze.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Chun smiled.
The little emperor's every move is naturally under his control. As the saying goes, if civil officials rebel, it will take three years to fail. It is indeed a good start to think about military power, but even though there is violence, the methods are still too immature.
Since the first emperor dared to scheme against him, the little emperor wanted to gain power, so naturally he had to work hard on his own and slowly seize it. Although he was a little nervous, he would not take the little emperor's life in the end.
When retreating from the court, Shen Chun bowed and saluted, leaving first, and then the officials retreated slowly, only Yao Guogong looked at the standing emperor and sighed: "Your Majesty, I will endure what ordinary people can't bear, and tolerate what ordinary people can't bear. For great wisdom."
"Thank you for your teaching, Grandpa." Feng Feibai said.
He naturally knows the importance of the word forbearance, but Shen Chun's persecution has become more and more serious recently, and every time he is caught off guard, he can only give in step by step. It is aware of the slightest bit.
……
"Marshal, how do you plan to solve Luke's pockets?" Liang Wendong asked with his hands clasped.
"A soldier's pay is a soldier's money for selling his life. It's a thing for risking his life." Shen Chun handed him the warrant and said, "If you get involved in this, beheading is too cheap, and you will be executed immediately."
"Yes!" Liang Wendong bowed his head.
The guards in the palace were heavily guarded, only the eunuch hurriedly walked in front of the emperor, lowered his head and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, King Yi has changed his decision, and Lu Keling will be executed soon."
The pen in Feng Feibai's hand paused, and the ink on the white paper turned black: "Is he warning me?"
Luke is corrupt and must be executed, and Ling Chi is not an exaggeration, but after mentioning Ji Tao, he may really be trying to make an example of others.
"Your Majesty, don't panic. Although King Yi has a strong intention to kill, he never kills innocent people. You can see that in the court hall who always oppose but get promoted." The chief eunuch comforted.
"I know." Feng Feibai put the pen back, looked at the ink on the paper and said.
He naturally knew that under King Yi's rule, innocent people were never killed indiscriminately. As long as the clan relatives did not oppress others, there was no question of guilt.
Under the rule of King Yi, he was lenient and strict, the treasury was rich, and the world was peaceful. Compared with the time when his father was in power, it can be said that the situation was completely new. The people only knew King Yi, but did not know that Emperor Chen Yuan was due to his political achievements.
Feng Feibai wasn't even sure if he could do better than him after taking back what belonged to him. He admired that person, and he has admired him since he first saw him when he was a child, but he was also afraid, just like the queen mother said, No matter how well the king does it, it is still a knife hanging above your head. You don't know when it will fall. It is better to get rid of it than to worry about it every day.
After many years of forbearance, Feng Feibai became more and more uncertain whether he could do it.
Even sometimes I don't understand myself, Shen Chun is kind to their mother and son, if he took away all the pride and power from that person, wouldn't it be revenge?
But what he took away was something that should belong to him.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." the chief eunuch called several times.
"What?" Feng Feibai raised his head and asked.
"King Yi is here." The chief eunuch reminded.
Feng Feibai pursed his lips, sat up straight and said, "Please come in, King Yi."
"Meet Your Majesty, Your Majesty Jin'an." Shen Chun saluted respectfully.
Although he has plundered power for so many years and intensified the pressure on the little emperor step by step, there are few mistakes and omissions in etiquette, and people can't handle it.
"I have said many times that Ai Qing doesn't need to be too polite when she sees me." Feng Feibai cast his eyes on His Highness, looked at the man's eyebrows and eyes and salutes that seemed to be smiling naturally, especially puzzled why he saluted in the same way. It is much better looking than others.
"Etiquette is undeniable." After Shen Chun saluted, he turned his head and motioned to those who followed.
The guard carried the thick memorial up, and the chief eunuch took it and placed it on the imperial table. Feng Feibai glanced at it and said, "These are all new memorials?"
"It's newly approved." Shen Chun said with a smile, "Your Majesty can take a look."
"Give King Yi a seat." Feng Feibai said.
There was a seat on the left side of the imperial table, and Shen Chun stepped up to the high seat and said, "I won't read it to Your Majesty today."
Feng Feibai suddenly looked at him and said, "Why?"
"Your Majesty still doesn't know the words?" Shen Chun raised his eyebrows.
"...Not at all." Feng Feibai felt a little regretful in his heart. He had been on the throne for more than five years, nearly six years, and since he was eight years old when he read the memorials, Shen Chun always read them and listened to them.
The voice was neither too fast nor too slow, even though it was a kind of enjoyment to think about the state affairs every time you need to rack your brains, is it going to stop now?
Looking at the memorial is also something that Feng Feibai doesn't understand. This person can clearly fool the courtiers with those trivial things, but he always shows him the important things. Although he has no decision-making power, he has seen many. What the courtier said can also think of countermeasures.
This kind of thing will make Feng Feibai feel that Shen Chun is cultivating him, but every time he has such a guess, the forces he is trying to win over will be cut off one by one by Yi Wang, and only the most obscure ones will remain.
His eyes flicked across the memorial, but Feng Feibai's eyes fell on the person sitting beside him unconsciously.
More than five years hadn't brought much change to Shen Chun. He was lazy and flirtatious all day long, and he looked harmless, but everyone knew that he was a ferocious beast in a resting state. Dead without a whole body.
It took five years for Feng Feibai to understand his fear, but he couldn't help being close to him.
He was afraid of him, yet wanted to see him, so conflicted and troubled.
"What questions does Your Majesty have?" Shen Chun naturally noticed the little emperor's gaze.
"Not at all." Feng Feibai hurriedly withdrew his gaze and focused on the memorial.
There are a lot of memorials, but there are replies later, Feng Feibai will read Shen Chun's Zhu Zhu after every time he thinks about it, but even if he feels that he has thought everything through, he will always find omissions when he reads it.
He didn't notice it when he saw it, but he didn't know that in Shen Chun's eyes, the emperor sighed and frowned, and it was only at this time that the little emperor would show his true temperament.
Although he is smart and quick-witted, he has already learned many skills at the age of 14, and he also knows how to read words and expressions. It is not an exaggeration to call him a child prodigy, but in Shen Chun's view, he is just a child.
The handling of state affairs already has the potential of being a wise monarch, but others still need to be cultivated. This is also the reason Yao Guogong said.
Two hours after Feng Feibai finished reading the memorial, when he looked up and saw Shen Chun, his mood gradually became complicated, but he also felt inexplicably at ease.
Although Shen Chun seized power, he never treated harshly and framed him. Even if he regained power in the future, it would not hurt his life.
It's just that if it really succeeds, I'm afraid this person will still hate him.
"What is His Majesty thinking?" Shen Chun asked.
Feng Feibai straightened his back, his thoughts turned and he said: "I've finished watching."
"What's your opinion?" Shen Chun asked.
Feng Feibai didn't dare to reveal too much, and only picked out the obvious, but every time he met Shen Chun's eyes, there was a feeling of being seen through, as if everything hidden in his eyes was like a trick.
"Your Majesty has grown up." Shen Chun got up, patted his shoulder, turned and left with a smile.
He came and went freely, but Feng Feibai's heart was in a mess.
Time flies, and another four years have passed. In the past four years, the national treasury has been filled.
