After Emperor Zhaowu was fed excrement and water, his will to die obviously subsided a lot. He sent someone to deliver food to him, and he would eat as usual.
Therefore, before Shen Yi returned to Jiankang, he had people transport him back to Jiankang in a carriage. However, the carriage was very slow and he would definitely not be able to come back years ago.
But no matter what, to capture the enemy emperor alive and still be the original "Great Emperor" was a great life achievement for Emperor Hong De.
It is also one of the few things that can give you a sense of accomplishment in the profession of emperor.
When His Majesty the Emperor heard this, he laughed and said, "Speaking of which, he is still my uncle. When he arrives in Jiankang, I will entertain him well."
In the early years, when His Majesty the Emperor first came to power, the Northern Qi Dynasty sent a princess back, but she was not the biological sister of Emperor Zhaowu, but just a cousin. She was adopted into the main line and married to Jiankang.
Speaking of which, His Majesty the Emperor was very angry because of this at first, but after Hongde suffered a defeat in seven years, he had no choice but to hold his nose and admit it.
The Izumo Princess was also named the Imperial Concubine and married into the royal family together with Empress Sun.
It is worth mentioning here that Princess Izumo married into Jiankang and has not been pregnant for more than ten years. However, it was recently heard that she was pregnant with a dragon. She was one of the few pregnant concubines in the harem in recent years.
This is not difficult to understand.
Previously, His Majesty the Emperor was very wary of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and was somewhat wary of Princess Izumo, so he was probably not willing to get close to her. In the past two years, the Northern Qi Dynasty has come to an end, and everyone has seen that His Majesty the Emperor's mentality has naturally changed. Come on, let's conquer this princess of Northern Qi and let go of her bad temper in recent years.
Maybe there will be some lines in the red quilt to foreshadow the interest.
Ahem, that’s too far off topic.
Here, Mr. Shen and the emperor entered the palace together in a dragon chariot. The Shen family had already been invited into the palace. His Majesty the Emperor was delighted and announced a banquet for three days to entertain the civil and military ministers.
Mr. Shen was sitting at the front left of the hall, sharing the same seat with Lu Ruoxi, his eldest son Shen Yuan, and Shen Sangsang.
It is worth mentioning that after Shen Yuan was granted the title of Third-Rank Jiayi Doctor, the entire Shen family went through another round of conferrals. Now Lu Ruoxi is now a First-Rank Imperial Lady, and Ye Chan has also been granted the title of Fourth-Rank Gong. People can also sit at the table, but they sit a little lower than Shen Yi.
It must be mentioned here that the reason why Ye Chan was granted imperial edict was not because she was a concubine of the Shen family, but because the Fuzhou Chamber of Commerce had done a lot for the imperial court or the imperial treasury in recent years. Made a lot of money.
Ye Chan was awarded the title because of this.
However, these are not enough for outsiders, so many people in Jiankang City are talking about this matter, saying that the emperor is too generous to the Shen family, and even the concubines in the family can be granted the title of fourth rank.
After the banquet started, Lu Ruoxi took Shen Yi's hand and said softly: "Husband, are all the wars in the north over?"
Mr. Shen held her hand and said softly: "It's almost done. Most of the remaining places can be settled. Even some stubborn places can be settled in a year and a half if Xue Wei and the others lead the army there. ."
Having said this, Shen Yi paused and said, "There are still some troubles further north."
Although the Tatars further north did not occupy much land during this war, they were not defeated or damaged too much. Instead, they plundered a lot of materials and people in Shanxi and Xuanfu. After returning, as time goes by, they will definitely become stronger and stronger.
In the current generation of the Huai'an Army, the Tatars will not be a problem, at least they will not become a particularly serious border trouble. However, in the next generation of the Huai'an Army, if a hero emerges from the north, there may be chaos in the north again.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi glanced at his son.
If they can live in harmony and inherit their father's legacy in the future, Shen Yuan will be the next core of the Huai'an Army.
Mr. Shen reached out and touched his son's head, and said softly: "I heard from your mother that you don't like reading?"
Shen Yuan shrank his head in fear.
He had not spent much time with Shen Yi since he was a child. He was not afraid at first, but he is now twelve years old. Even from outsiders, he can know a little about what his father is like now. Due to his status and the fact that Mr. Shen has been in a high position all year round, he now has an extraordinary aura. When he suddenly asked about his studies, he was so frightened that the young Marquis couldn't help but tremble.
"Dad, I...I..."
Mr. Shen smiled and said, "If you don't like studying, how about I find some people to come to my house and teach you martial arts?"
Lu Ruoxi sighed at the side: "I have already called Master Qianbang to visit me, but it didn't have much success. After this child is born, our family will become a wealthy family, so it will inevitably be a bit more delicate."
Shen Yi nodded silently, and then said: "In the past two years, my father will spend more time. You stay with my father, and my father will teach you how to read and do things."
"If it's still not the same after two years."
Shen Yi turned to look at Lu Ruoxi and said softly: "Let him get engaged to the eldest princess."
Lu Ruoxi said "Ah", she pulled Shen Yi's sleeve, a little nervous: "Husband, what do you mean..."
Mr. Shen looked calm: "At least you will be rich for a lifetime."
Lu Ruoxi was silent for a while, looked at Shen Yuan, and sighed: "Then just follow what your husband said."
Although Shen Yuan was not very sensible yet, he could hear some of the meaning in Shen Yi's words. He looked up at his father and said, "Dad, if you can't read, it doesn't mean you are useless. My son is just..."
Master Shen shook his head: "You can say this because you were born in our family, so it doesn't matter whether you study or not."
"If you are born into an ordinary family, at least in the country of Dachen, if you don't study, you will be useless."
"My father asked you to study, not to make you become a second-ranked scholar or a great Confucian scholar of the world, but you must at least be able to determine, read more books, and understand more principles."
Mr. Shen said in a deep voice: "If we talk about family background, why do the princes in the palace still study hard?"
Shen Yuan lowered his head and said, "I will remember my father's words."
Master Shen smiled: "I hope you remember."
…………
After the banquet, the Shen family returned home first. Shen Yi was invited to the Manna Palace. The monarch and his ministers sat across from each other at the same table. His Majesty the Emperor reached out to pour wine for Shen Yi and said with a smile: "Shaanxi and other places have not yet been recovered. These days I and the The courtiers discussed who should be sent to recover these places, but after discussing for a long time, they finally decided to wait until Shen Qing comes back."
He looked at Shen Yi and asked, "What does Shen Qing think?"
Here, it is not just a matter of recovering Shaanxi, but also a matter of profit distribution. After all, in places like Shaanxi, even if there are no heavy troops from the Northern Qi Dynasty, even if they pick up the leftovers left by the Huai'an army, for those in the court who have eliminated the Huai'an army It is a rare achievement for other generals.
If Shen Yi did not come back, the imperial court would decide who should be sent to "pass the message", and it would be somewhat disrespectful to the Huai'an army.
Shen Yi himself may not care, but within the Huai'an Army, there may be opinions.
Mr. Shen thought for a while and said softly: "This matter should be decided by Your Majesty and the Ministry of War. After the Ministry of War decides on the list, Your Majesty will send someone to send it to me, and I will write a memorial to recommend these people."
His Majesty the Emperor nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Zi Heng, you still know how to do things."
"Some people from the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion often come to the palace to annoy me during this period, and I cannot bear to be bothered by them."
Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said: "The Huai'an Army is also undergoing repairs now. In addition, the defense lines of Datong and Shanhaiguan need to be deployed, so we are really unable to divide our troops."
His Majesty the Emperor nodded.
"The Huai'an Army has worked too hard these past few years and it's time to take a break."
Emperor Hongde lowered his head and took a sip of wine and asked: "The Tatar tribe in the north..."
Mr. Shen thought for a while and sighed: "I think it would be appropriate for your Majesty to send an envoy to confer the title of Tatar Khan."
When the emperor heard this, he felt relieved.
"We monarchs and ministers have thought of something."
He looked up at Shen Yi and said silently: "There is also the question of Zhenren Guanwai Zhuli..."
At this moment, in this Manna Hall, this pair of peers are sitting across from each other at the same table, you have a glass of wine and I have a glass of wine, as if they are having some insignificant chat.
But in the few words they said, many big things in the north, involving countless lives, had been finalized in the process of changing glasses.
In fact, many major events in history were decided in this way.
