An hour and a half later, the group entered the post house.
The postmaster in the post house diligently stepped forward to say hello. Unexpectedly, he slapped the horse's leg with his flattery, and was slapped in the face by Prince Zhao: "Go and boil hot water immediately. I, the prince, need to take a bath and change clothes."
A group of people are disgraced and want hot water.
Everyone in the post house was busy fetching water and boiling water. Shen Jia and Shen You took a cold shower together and changed into clean clothes. Then, Shen Jia stretched his neck to watch Shen You write the memorial.
Shen You's memorial was written very concisely and clearly, with no embellishment or concealment. It told the whole story. After writing, he sealed the memorial and sent it back to Beijing as soon as possible.
Shen Jia murmured in a low voice: "It's too honest for you to write a memorial like this. They must be trying their best to discredit us."
Shen You said calmly: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful. No matter what tricks you use, you can't hide from His Majesty. Why don't you tell the truth? Anyway, we have a clear conscience."
This is true.
Shen Jia thought for a while and said, "Then let's continue on our way tomorrow?"
Shen You nodded.
The guards who delivered the memorial rode fast, day and night, and could cover two hundred miles in one day. It would take four or five days to catch up with them again and again.
…
Shen You only sent one memorial back to Beijing, but the three princes and princes of Zhao were very powerful. Not only did they jointly write a memorial to sue Shen You severely, but they also each wrote letters home to complain.
The guard who delivered the letter carried a bulging package on his back and rode a horse at high speed. He rushed back to the capital in two days.
Prince Fu received the letter from his grandson and grandson, and was so angry that he turned blue after reading it.
These two bastards.
Before leaving, he gave many instructions to the two of them to be honest and peaceful and not to fight Shen You along the way. He promised well, but then turned around and completely forgot about it.
He still had the nerve to complain! If they weren't too far away, he would have wanted to beat these two bastards himself.
King Zhao was not much better. When he saw the letter from Prince Zhao, his face suddenly turned dark.
Emperor Qing'an was forced to send Shen You out of the capital. He was suffocating in his heart. He was trying to hit a rock, and he would not give up until his head was broken and bloody!
King Zhao went to the clan's mansion with unlucky intentions to look for Prince Fu, and together they went to the palace to meet the saint, to plead guilty to his bastard and clean up the mess.
As expected.
Entering the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Emperor Qing'an threw a memorial on the imperial case with a cold face: "Prince Fu, look at your good grandson! I gave him an errand and asked him to accompany him to the frontier army. He is good , didn’t stop on the road, behaved inappropriately, and caused a fight! Please tell me how I should handle this matter!"
Prince Fu's face turned red with shame, and he handed over his hands to plead guilty: "It's because I didn't teach him well. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
King Zhao also apologized with a face of embarrassment: "My brother has no way to educate his son. Please punish me severely."
Emperor Qing'an glanced at them coldly: "When they come back from their errands, I will punish them severely as a warning to others. Don't hang around in front of my eyes. Go back!"
After Prince Fu and King Zhao retired, Emperor Qing'an issued an imperial edict and ordered people to quickly catch up with Shen You and his party to deliver the edict.
The messenger set out from the capital and caught up with Shen You and his party at noon on the fourth day. They read the imperial edict loudly on the official road.
The imperial edict was harshly worded, severely reprimanding Ding Lang and Zhao Wang's crown prince Zhu Yang, and strictly ordered the three of them to do their jobs attentively and not to cause trouble or stir up disputes again.
Ding Lang was almost stunned by the scolding.
Isn't it just to flirt with a maid? It's like making a big mistake!
Moreover, they are the ones getting beaten!
His right ear was scratched by a gold hairpin, and it still hurts. The blood marks on Zhu Yang's face were scarred. The bridge of Prince Zhao's nose was also blue. Everyone was injured! Also, there were many of their guards. He was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. This had been going on for several days, and at first glance, he looked like he was withered and withered.
Why are they the ones getting scolded?
The emperor's heart went to his armpits.
Zhu Yang and Prince Zhao were also furious.
However, the person delivering the decree was also a member of the royal family and had a high seniority. When they met, they had to respectfully call him Uncle Wang. No matter how angry they were, they had to hold it in.
Prince Ping who delivered the decree looked at the three talented people and said earnestly: "The emperor is very angry. You guys should be more careful. Next, calm down. If there is another time, it will not be as easy as just scolding." Already."
Prince Zhao gritted his teeth and whispered: "Your Majesty is too partial to Shen You."
He is the emperor's nephew!
Prince Ping could see through the resentment and dissatisfaction in Prince Zhao's heart at a glance, and reminded him in a low voice: "A good man, don't suffer the consequences. I have said what I should remind you. You can take care of yourself."
By the way, he took out three letters from his arms and handed them to the three of them: "This is the letter that King Zhao and Prince Fu asked me to bring to you. Read it yourself!"
The three of them opened the letter and took a look. It was full of curses again. Especially Ding Lang, who was scolded by his grandfather Prince Fu. At the end of the letter, he was also asked to send the maid he was serving with him back to the capital. He was not allowed to do it again in the future. Go and provoke the maids in Shen You's family.
The three of them had slumped faces, no longer in the mood to look at Shen You, and each of them hid in the carriage dejectedly.
Prince Ping went to Shen You to deliver the edict again. Prince Ping obviously knew the contents of the edict before he came, and was extremely polite to Shen You: "Your Majesty has an edict, please accept it from General Shen."
Shen You's expression dimmed, and he held his hands solemnly: "General Shen You, I respectfully welcome the edict."
The content of this decree is as follows.
I know that General Shen acted as a last resort in order to protect his family. Moreover, General Shen’s actions were measured, and they were all minor skin injuries. I have already trained the three of them. General Shen, calm down and continue on your journey. !
Shen You's expression remained as usual, he held his hands in gratitude and accepted the imperial edict.
…
Prince Ping and his entourage did not stay and left quickly after delivering the order.
Everyone continued on their way.
Shen Jia and Shen You rode horses side by side, riding happily under the bright autumn sun.
"It's so refreshing." Shen Jiamei's eyebrows were dancing, and his loud voice seemed to have no intention of lowering his volume: "Your Majesty is really a sage. I know that your fault is not yours."
A smile flashed in Shen You's eyes: "Don't provoke them on purpose. Just teach them a lesson and make them be honest and peaceful. That's all."
Shen Jia grinned: "Am I the kind of person who makes trouble?"
Obviously yes!
Shen You glanced at Shen Jia.
Shen Jia touched her nose, turned around and shouted to Fang Peng: "Let's go for a quick run, hunt some game, and have a barbecue and drink tonight."
Fang Peng's eyes lit up and he exclaimed excitedly.
A group of guards rushed out with a roar.
Shen You actually had very itchy hands. However, the carriage convoy was so long and there were a lot of women and children, so someone had to take care of them.
Shen You watched everyone galloping on their horses and looked back with some regret.
