Three hundred and ninetieth chapters stick together (2)
Shen You didn't make a sound.
During these days of recuperation, he recalled the battle at the Imperial Tomb, not without suspicion in his heart.
Emperor Long'an has a decree. After the funeral is over and the new emperor ascends the throne, the kings will declare vassal status. This is like releasing tigers into the mountains and forests, with endless troubles.
The prince must not act openly or take the initiative. The king of Qin and Han had conspired to rebel first, so it was only reasonable for the prince to do whatever he wanted to do in order to protect himself.
In this turmoil, the King of Qin was too dead to die, and the King of Han was left with only one breath. Even if he was rescued, he would have to be imprisoned or exiled in the future, and it would be impossible to establish a vassal state.
It's simply horrifying to think about it.
This speculation could only be kept silently in his heart. Even in front of Shen Jia, he never mentioned it.
Shen Mao took a deep breath and whispered: "We, uncle and nephew, can just talk about this matter in private. We must not talk nonsense in front of others."
After a pause, he then ordered: "Don't mention it in front of Sanlang. When he opens his mouth, it will be bad if even half a sentence comes out and reaches His Highness's ears."
Shen You nodded: "Second uncle, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense."
Shen Mao sat down by the bed, was silent for a long time, and then said: "The current situation is very beneficial to the prince. King Qin is dead, and there will be no more trouble in the palace of King Qin. King Han... Concubine Cao personally killed the Queen Mother Cao, Just for this one incident, the mother and son will not end well."
Shen You hummed.
Shen Mao had long been accustomed to Shen You's lack of words and continued: "When the funeral of the Queen Mother is over, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ascend the throne as the new emperor."
"Silang, you have made great achievements, and His Highness will never treat you badly. In the future, your bright future will be indispensable."
"However, I have to remind you a few words. Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger! His Highness's thoughts are unpredictable. You must be extremely cautious when working around His Highness."
Shen You's eyes flashed and his voice was serious: "I have written down everything my second uncle said."
After finishing talking about the business, Shen Mao exhaled and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about this anymore. You are injured now, so you can take good care of yourself in the house. Shaojun is pregnant, which is also a great joy. Wait until the child is born safely. , you go and offer your father a stick of incense and tell your father that the eldest brother is having a daughter."
Many years after Shen Rong passed away, Shen Mao still spoke of his brother in a very affectionate tone. This shows that the two brothers have a very good relationship.
Shen You raised the corners of his mouth and nodded in response.
Shen Mao then stood up: "You have a good rest, I'll go see San Lang."
After Shen Mao left, Feng Shaojun returned to the house.
The couple looked at each other, and Shen You immediately whispered: "Second uncle just said something. Let me tell you."
Fortunately, Shen Mao left, otherwise, he would have given his nephew a hard look. He said he would "not talk nonsense"!
Seeing Shen You's serious expression, Feng Shaojun had a vague guess in his mind. When Shen You told Shen Mao's guess, Feng Shaojun frowned.
After a long while, Feng Shaojun whispered: "Actually, I also vaguely feel that something is wrong. His Royal Highness has always been wary of King Qin, King Han and King Zhao. How could he be unprepared?"
"Perhaps, His Highness has anticipated all this."
Therefore, the manpower that the prince brought to the imperial mausoleum was neither too many nor too few. It just happened to last until reinforcements arrived.
The manpower left in the East Palace is not enough to deal with the chaos in the palace, but it is enough to enable the East Palace to protect itself.
Many, many people died in this turmoil. The real winner who had the last laugh was, of course, the prince! Perhaps the only surprise that the prince did not expect was that Queen Mother Cao would die at the hands of Concubine Cao.
However, with Empress Dowager Cao dying like this, it is even more logical to deal with Concubine Cao and the King of Han. They can also liquidate the Cao family... Thinking about it this way, it is really a good deal.
One of the couple was lying on the couch, and the other was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at each other in silence for a long time.
This topic is indeed a bit heavy. Feng Shaojun pretended to be brisk and said: "That's all, the process is not important, what is important is that the result is satisfactory."
How can a person be an emperor without being ruthless and ruthless?
Shen You cooperated and changed the subject: "I'm a little hungry."
Feng Shaojun smiled and said, "I'll send someone to the kitchen right now."
During the national mourning period, it is not appropriate to eat or drink heavily. Furthermore, Shen You was injured and lying on the couch, so he had to eat lightly. Zheng's mother went to the kitchen and came back with a large food box.
There was a large bowl of hot rice porridge, a plate of flower rolls, and four plates of light and delicious side dishes in the food box.
"Don't move around, just lie down like this. I'll feed you!"
Feng Shaojun sat beside the bed, blew a spoonful of hot porridge, and brought it to Shen You's lips.
Shen You opened his mouth and swallowed. The warm white porridge filled his empty stomach and warmed his heart.
Shen You stared at his beloved wife silently, with the corners of his mouth raised.
…
The rebellion between the kings of Qin and Han and the death of Empress Dowager Cao caused shock and turmoil in the government and the public. Shen You and Shen Jia quietly returned to Beijing from the imperial mausoleum without attracting any attention.
The two brothers were recovering from their injuries in the yard and spending time with their wives.
Living your own little life behind closed doors is quite a bit of a peaceful time.
Feng Shaojun eats well and sleeps well every day, and his complexion quickly becomes rosy. Shen You also gained some weight in just a few days, and his injuries improved greatly. He can now sit up from the bed.
As soon as Shen Jiaqi could move around, he couldn't hold himself back anymore. He asked two guards to help him to Zhichuntang.
The two brothers' yards were very close to each other. However, this short walk still left Shen Jia covered in cold sweat and panting.
Shen You sat on the bed and glared at Shen Jia: "Why don't you have a good rest and come to Zichuntang? You are afraid that your injury will heal too quickly, right?"
Shen Jia didn't take Shen You's irritation seriously and grinned: "It's too boring to stay in the yard all day. Now that I can move around, I'll come over and talk to you."
Shen You couldn't do anything to Shen Jia and sighed helplessly: "Sit for a while and then someone will help you back. Also, don't come every day."
Shen Jia agreed very simply: "Okay, okay, I will listen to you. I won't come tomorrow."
As a result, it still came on the second day, and it still came on the third day...
Shen You complained in front of Feng Shaojun: "I've never seen him like this. He's still so restless before he recovers from his injury. He runs to Zhichuntang every day."
Feng Shaojun chuckled: "He has this temper. My third sister-in-law also persuaded him, and he agreed immediately after opening his mouth. As soon as he turned around, he still followed suit."
Shen Jia's injuries were not yet healed, so Lei Xiaoxue clenched her fists and was unwilling to punch him.
Feng Shaojun imitated Lei Xiaoxue's clenching of fists in anger, and Shen You was also amused.
He wasn't really angry with Shen Jia.
Shen Jia missed him, and he also missed Shen Jia.
The two brothers have stayed together since childhood and sleep on the same bed at night. Now they live separately after each has married a wife. In the past, they would have been inseparable!
