Chapter 197: Li Xian entrusted

An eunuch came in a hurry, and it was dangerous for the emperor to be alone without his entourage. Although he was in the Forbidden City, there was no guarantee that nothing would happen.

"Shang Jinshi... can you see the emperor?"

Shang Liangchen pointed to the library: "The emperor is going there..."

The eunuch hurriedly trotted over...

"Emperor? The young man we just met is the current emperor?" Shang Lu was surprised, "Why is he so in dismay?"

"The eldest prince's new mourning... The master in this palace has no good face?" Shang Liangchen said, "The ministers all know about this. I don't want to make the emperor angry, so be prepared."

"This emperor doesn't look like a person who takes his anger on others..."

"Dad, our young emperor is young and vigorous. He is not only willing to quell the rebellion, but also has the intention of reform. Now he has rectified the reputation of the Minister of War who was wronged in the previous dynasty, which has attracted many old ministers to come back... The scholars actively responded, and I thought my talent ranking should be ahead..."

"Boy still doesn't know the world is high..." Shang Lu said, "I'm afraid the young emperor is just angry for a moment... After a long time, he will still be the treacherous ministers."

"Dad, if we don't seize the opportunity..."

"Are you talking about me? Why don't you seek progress?" Shang Lu said.

"I have no knowledge and have to learn more... Don't be anxious... Besides, I don't like political affairs? But now Li Xian is sick and there are no leaders in the court. I heard that someone mentioned your name, father..." Liangchen said.

"I am used to being idle at home. This time I came to Beijing and learned that Lord Li was in poor health... I will visit you later... Those things will be handled by my father, so you can stay... The court party struggles should not be involved..." Shang Lu said.

Leaving the Forbidden Palace... he headed towards Li Xian's mansion.

Li Xian was already ill in bed, and a friend came from a distance... He sat up and asked Shang Lu to enter the house.

What Li Xian couldn't let go was the entrustedness of the late emperor. The emperor lacked people to help him, so the Shang Dynasty came just right.

"The emperor is urgent to hire people. Have you considered coming back?" Li Xian said, "You used to work in the Ministry of War, but now you are fighting everywhere. Even the Maorika in the Northeast has seized the three guards of Duoyan and talked with us about the conditions. There is not enough manpower... The court can only endure it first... I am afraid that I can't get up now... This year is not good... I'm worried that there is no one... You might as well help me first... and wait until the future before deciding whether to stay..."

Li Xian's words touched Shang Lu's heart. Shang Lu was a filial son. He resigned from his mother's office in the past, but now he asked him to serve the country, which seemed a little difficult for a while. However, seeing Li Xian begging him in this way, he couldn't bear to nod, which was considered as an agreement...

Li Xian was like exhausted lamp oil... During this period, the little emperor had no intention of taking charge.

Shang Lu went to the palace to meet the king for Li Xian, so he had the opportunity to enter the harem.

The last time I walked here was ten years ago. At that time, Emperor Jingtai was seriously ill... He had something to tell his ministers... Originally... He knew that he had no queen... wanted to establish his brother's son... Being the emperor, he was worried about his brother's elder brother, and he wanted everyone to assist in the new emperor's administration, but he did not want his brother to regain power... At that time, the Supreme Emperor had several sons... He asked everyone to help pick one... Wang Waihou wanted to regain the former crown prince one by one... But no one knew where the crown prince was... They did not dare to disturb Empress Dowager Sun. The whereabouts of the crown prince were the most clear... Maybe the emperor did not really want to establish the sons of the Supreme Emperor and picked out the crown prince from the side branches. In fact, this was not feasible... In the end, there was no right or wrong. It was Shi Jing and the others who moved the Supreme Emperor back from Nanyuan. This matter was considered a result. However, the court situation changed drastically, and loyal ministers died tragically and were demoted.

"The emperor is accompanying the concubine in Zhaode Palace... It is better to go to Zhaode Palace with the young man. But be careful on the way, don't watch what shouldn't be..." said the eunuch guarding the gate.

On the way to Zhaode Palace, you can meet many palace maids... There is no shortage of people serving in Zhaode Palace, they are all the emperor's people.

The palace where the imperial concubine lives is indeed gorgeous, but the little emperor sat in the yard. It was still so cold that the imperial concubine was hard enough. When the minister reported on government affairs, he was too lazy to raise his head and could only say one sentence: "I understand..."

"The Empress told everyone to come in... it was so cold outside..." The door of Zhaode Palace opened, "Those ministers are not young anymore... What if they are frozen..."

The imperial concubine was sympathetic, and the little emperor was amused: "Hui'en, I said Zhen'er is still aware of the generalities."

A crowd rushed in, and the imperial concubine went to the back hall, after all, the female family was avoiding it. The little emperor went directly to the back hall. Shang Lu had never been here, and followed the emperor into the back hall for a while. Only then did he realize that he had gone to the wrong place, and the foreign ministers stopped in front.

"What are you doing?" said the Imperial Concubine, "Aren't you going to deal with political affairs?"

"Sister Zhen'er...I'm worried about you..."

"I figured it out...you go out..." said the imperial concubine, "that's my life is bad..."

"I'm still worried about you... Sister Zhen'er..." The emperor suddenly turned around and saw a reckless minister behind him... and angrily scolded: "This is the inner room... you are blind!"

Shang Lu looked up and replied, "I didn't understand the rules when I first entered the palace..."

"Forget it..." The imperial concubine spoke. She had known that the imperial concubine was the emperor's nanny and the milfs were old. Shang Lu was curious and secretly took a look. A woman in gorgeous clothes sat in a chair, with fragrant tea and stove in front of her, but her eyebrows were a little familiar, and she had seen it somewhere. But the imperial concubine's eyes suddenly stared at her.

"Wang... no... why are you here?"

"My name Shang Lu pays homage to the Emperor..." Shang Lu knelt down.

The Imperial Concubine seemed to calm down: "You are the world-famous Lord Shang who won the three-yuan consecutive years... It's really rare, and it's not in vain that I have this fate with you..."

"Sister Zhen'er, I think he is like a person... We were in the countryside that year..." said the emperor next to him.

"Emperor, you have thought too much. There are many people in the world who have similar appearances. Then the one who helped us was a scholar named Wang. He looked pitiful to us... Lord Shang was a Beijing official back then. You made a mistake..."

This imperial concubine doesn't seem to ignore the world.

When Shang Lu looked at the imperial concubine again, it was not as what others said. Some people said that she was an ugly woman. How could an ugly woman stay with the emperor and queen in the palace to serve as a job? But there are some things that cannot be asked... It seems that she didn't want to leave back then...

"Why don't you quit quickly..." The little emperor was shocked and broke the person kneeling down, and there were only women left in the inner room.

"He turned out to be Shang Lu..." The imperial concubine Wan Zhen'er sighed...
