Emperor Qing'an's eyes flashed and he said calmly: "If you have any requests, just come through."
Emperor Qing'an knew what Shen You wanted to ask for.
Sure enough, Shen You quickly opened his mouth: "I will leave the capital to take up a foreign post, and I don't know when I will return. I have no other worries. I just want to take my wife and children with me. Please give me your permission, Your Majesty."
According to the official practice of Daqi, military generals of third rank or above who are appointed abroad must leave their families in the capital. Just like General Meng, he went to his post alone.
Shen You wanted to leave Beijing with his wife and children, which was obviously against the rules. Emperor Qing'an agreed without hesitation: "Okay, I promise you."
Shen You glanced at Emperor Qing'an: "General, thank you very much, Your Majesty."
Shen You's eyes were cold and sharp, like a sharp sword. If he looked at him for a second, he would be stabbed extremely painfully.
Emperor Qing'an looked away again, and after a moment he said: "After finishing your errands today, you will unload your errands and return home in the evening. Going to the frontier army is not a trivial matter, and it will take several years. After you go back, spend a few days with your family. , say goodbye and pack your bags."
Shen You bowed his hands and accepted.
Emperor Qing'an said again: "Pick fifty people from the emperor's personal guards and take them to the border together. I allow them to go with their families just like you."
The emperor's personal guards were all elite soldiers who were born in the imperial guard. They were all born as generals, brave and loyal to the emperor. Emperor Qing'an asked Shen You to pick some people to bring with him. Firstly, it was to show the emperor's favor. Secondly, these people were sent to the frontier army. Here, he can serve as a mid- to low-level general. It can help Shen You master the cavalry battalion faster.
For a minister, this is extremely generous.
Shen You still had no unnecessary expression on his face and thanked the emperor for his kindness.
At this point, everything that needs to be said has been said.
Emperor Qing'an took a deep look at Shen You, and then continued to move forward. Shen You followed him silently as usual. He was neither fast nor slow, and his pace was steady.
After walking around the Imperial Garden, Emperor Qing'an finally felt tired. When he returned to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he did not review the memorials and deal with political affairs, but went back to his dormitory to take a nap.
The bedroom was quiet except for Emperor Qing'an's disordered breathing.
Eunuch Yang stayed by the bed for a long time. Emperor Qing'an whispered: "Yang Jinghe, please don't do anything about the errand I sent you before. Let that bitch live for a while longer. When Shen You and his entourage set off, they arrived. Once the border is settled properly, it won't be too late to take action."
If Jiang died suddenly and suddenly, Shen You, as the son of a human being, would have to keep his filial piety for Jiang. It would be better to wait until Shen You leaves Beijing before taking action.
Eunuch Yang respectfully responded.
Emperor Qing'an opened his eyes and sighed in a low voice: "I can't help Shen You, and I can't help Feng Saner either. You... tell her on my behalf that I will agree to whatever she wants."
Speaking of Feng Shaojun, Eunuch Yang also felt sad.
In the end, Shen You still had to be wronged, and Feng Shaojun and Shen You became husband and wife. Shen You wanted to leave Beijing, so Feng Shaojun naturally had to give up his errand and leave with Shen You.
The great contributions that the couple had made for Emperor Qing'an were clearly visible in his mind. At this time, it was really hard for him to open his mouth to tell Feng Shaojun.
However, he had no choice but to respond to the emperor's order: "Yes, I will go see her right now."
…
Eunuch Yang quietly exited the emperor's dormitory and went to the duty room outside the dormitory.
This duty room is neither big nor small, and can accommodate more than ten chamberlains. On weekdays, when Emperor Qing'an is resting, most of the chamberlains are here. Today, Eunuch Feng was in a gloomy mood, and no one dared to provoke the chamberlains, so they tactfully stayed away. Eunuch Feng was the only one in the clean and spacious check-in room far away.
It was already past afternoon, and Eunuch Feng was sitting on a chair by the window, his back facing the blazing sunshine, his face hidden in the dark. It was unclear what his expression was.
Eunuch Yang pushed open the door and entered. Eunuch Feng's reaction was a little slower than usual and he didn't get up in time to greet him.
Eunuch Yang sighed in his heart again and said in a low voice: "San'er, our family has something to tell you. You come with our family."
There are people outside the check-in room, so this is not the place to talk.
Feng Shaojun calmed down, responded, and followed Eunuch Yang out of the duty room and into a quiet room. Eunuch Yang carefully bolted the door, and then whispered to Feng Shaojun: "San'er, there is something that you need to do. Don't be angry."
Feng Shaojun's eyes were dark: "Is it Shen You who wants to leave Beijing to take up any other job?"
Eunuch Yang: "..."
Feng Shaojun is in charge of all the information in the palace, so such matters cannot be hidden from her.
Eunuch Yang gave a wry smile: "Yes. The emperor was afraid that you would be unhappy, so he specifically asked us to come and tell you in person."
Not happy?
More than just unpleasant!
After she suddenly heard the news, she felt furious and extremely angry.
She doesn't want Shen You to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan. But why is it that Shen You is always the one who is given up and sacrificed every time?
Feng Shaojun tightened his lips, swallowed back the anger that rushed to his mouth, and responded calmly: "Shen You was originally a third-grade commander in Jinyi. When he arrived at the border army, his official position was promoted to another level, and he was responsible for training and commanding the cavalry battalion. This It's the emperor's trust and support for him, I have nothing to be dissatisfied with."
Eunuch Yang's heart was ruthless, and his face felt hot at this moment, as if he had been slapped twice.
Eunuch Yang exhaled a breath and opened his mouth with difficulty: "San'er, we know that you are angry at Shen You's injustice. However, the emperor also has difficulties. At the moment, this is the most peaceful and stable solution."
"You should also be aware of Shen You's temperament. If the emperor restores his identity and makes him recognize his ancestors, he will have to bear his dishonorable origin for the rest of his life. This will be the greatest humiliation to him."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's position is as secure as a mountain. He has an excellent reputation in the court and is supported by all civil and military officials. In a few years, the Emperor plans to appoint a grandson."
"Under such circumstances, Shen You might as well leave..."
Feng Shaojun's eyes turned cold and he interrupted Eunuch Yang coldly: "I have left Beijing to serve as a foreign minister. Daqi has a vast territory with many states and counties. There are more than a dozen troops stationed in various places. You can go anywhere, so why go to the border army?"
"Only one general has changed in the Border Army. The Yuan family has been running the Border Army for decades. All the generals, large and small, are either members of the Yuan family or the bodyguards of the Yuan family. The Border Army is actually the Yuan Family Army."
"The Yuan family already knows Shen You's true life experience. If Shen You goes to the border army again, his every move will be under the eyes of the Yuan family. How can we not stumbling him and adding obstacles to him? To put it more bluntly, how can the emperor dare to make such a conclusion? , won’t the Yuan family secretly take action against Shen You?”
"The three fathers and sons of the Yuan family spent half a day in the Hall of Supreme Harmony today, presumably discussing with the emperor how to 'place' Shen You! With this arrangement, the Yuan family will naturally be satisfied. No matter how powerful Shen You is in the future, they will be able to stay in their territory. There won't be any trouble. They can keep an eye on Shen You for the prince."
"In the emperor's heart, the country is the most important, the queen and the prince are the most important, and the father-in-law, uncle and brother who support him as emperor are important. Only Shen You is insignificant!"
