General Ling was not in a very good mood until he left.
Master Shen walked out of the room to see him off, with a smile on his face.
At this time, there must be someone in the inner guard watching here all the time. Although the situation is now completely under Shen Yi's control, the drama that needs to be performed still needs to be performed.
As for Ling Su...
Ling Su is now regarded as a middleman in Shen Yi's eyes. From now on, although he serves in the Huai'an Army, his relationship with Shen Yi is only that of superior and subordinate, and he is no longer the direct confidant he once was.
But it is not necessarily true that Ling Su has completely gained the emperor's trust. After all, His Majesty the Emperor is not a mediocre person. Maybe in the emperor's view, Ling Su is just a middleman.
In other words, it was also a warning line sent by Shen Yi to the emperor.
If one day, Shen Yi takes action against Ling Su, or replaces Ling Su without authorization, the emperor will naturally be alert.
What happened in just one day may sound simple, but upon closer inspection, it involves the interests of countless people, and no one can explain it for a while.
And it was also on this day that the prototype of the northern structure was determined by a tacit understanding between two people who had no dialogue or even met.
This pattern is that before Dachen moved the capital, Shen Yi was in charge of the north. This was the sincerity given by His Majesty the Emperor.
Mr. Shen also showed his sincerity accordingly and "handed over" Ling Su, one of the top bosses in the Huai'an Army, to the imperial court so that the imperial court would not have no control over the Huai'an Army.
At least on the surface, it allowed the imperial court to have some control over the Huai'an army.
The next day, when the team was traveling again, Mr. Shen was invited to the emperor's car. The emperor and his ministers talked and laughed in the car, and had a very happy conversation.
The three prime ministers who accompanied him, as well as the generals of the Huai'an Army, all looked back at the monarch and his ministers on the dragon chariot from time to time, with different expressions.
In the next ten days or so, the emperor drove straight to Yandu without stopping.
Ten days later, the time came to the beginning of June in the nineteenth year of Hongde. His Majesty the Emperor's car finally stopped at the foot of Yandu City. Mr. Shen got out of the car first and led a group of officials to the road at the city gate. On both sides, when His Majesty the Emperor got off the chariot, Mr. Shen took the lead and knelt down, bowing his head in salute.
"Welcome Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty's divine, cultural, and martial arts may live forever."
All the officials knelt down one after another, bowed their heads and sang loudly along with Shen Yi.
After His Majesty the Emperor got off his chariot, he looked up at the South City Gate of Yandu in front of him, which was also the most impressive Zhengyang Gate in Yandu. He stood there without speaking for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, His Majesty the Emperor came to his senses. He stepped forward and helped Shen Yi up, then raised his hand to signal everyone to get up. Then he smiled at Shen Yi and said, "Shen Qing, please accompany me on foot."
Mr. Shen bowed and saluted: "I obey."
The emperor looked back at his three sons, and his face became serious: "Follow me."
After saying this, he strode towards Zhengyang Gate with his hands behind his back.
Shen Yi followed closely behind, only half a body to one height behind the emperor.
His Majesty the Emperor walked and looked around. After a while, he took a long breath and said, "Shen Qing may not believe it. The sentence I heard most when I was a child is that if you become an unruly and foolish king in the future, He will be captured by the people of Qi and brought to the city of Yandu, where he will become the king of the country's subjugation."
Having said this, His Majesty the Emperor looked up at the sky and said slowly: "My father has said this, my mother has said this, and the masters who taught me when I was young have also said it."
"So much so that after I became emperor, I worked cautiously and conscientiously as emperor for more than ten years."
His Majesty the Emperor said as he walked.
"Actually, I have a free-spirited personality and like to be free."
Having said this, His Majesty the Emperor sighed quietly. He looked around at the situation in the city and smiled again on his face: "Huang Kao would never have thought that one day I would actually arrive in Yandu City, and He was not invited in by Qi people."
Mr. Shen lowered his hands and followed behind the emperor, and said with a smile: "The only pity is that Your Majesty did not bring Concubine Qi with you. Otherwise, Concubine Qi could have returned to her parents' home, and Your Majesty would have had a lot more fun." ."
The Emperor was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Shen Yi and laughed: "Qing Shen, you are bad enough. I never thought of this."
Having said this, the emperor paused and said with a smile: "But it's useless to think about it. Concubine Qi is pregnant. I can't let her have another bumpy journey."
Mr. Shen said with a smile: "When Concubine Qi arrived in Jiankang, she was really high-spirited. Now she must have been impressed by His Majesty's heroic demeanor, right?"
His Majesty the Emperor smiled hoarsely: "Don't you still remember the old enmity?"
Shen Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "I didn't suffer much back then, so I can't even talk about holding a grudge."
Emperor Hongde put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "That Princess Izumo has been angry with you for several years, but now she should have lost her temper."
As he spoke, he paused and then said, "Why is there not a single commoner on this avenue?"
Mr. Shen said with a smile: "Your Majesty, not long after I took over Yandu, I went back to Jiandu to recover. Therefore, I don't know much about the current situation in Yandu. However, looking at the current situation, it seems that there are still many people in Yandu. It’s not very safe and the people have been dispersed.”
Zhengyangmen is the gate directly into the Imperial City, and it is also the gateway through which the emperor walked. Not far after entering Zhengyangmen, you have actually reached the foundation of the Imperial City.
At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor had already raised his head and saw the Imperial City, so he didn't say anything more. He just smiled and said, "Being cautious is not a bad thing."
Mr. Shen nodded lightly and sighed: "In the final analysis, I was a little softer when I entered the city. If I had been crueler at that time, the city of Yandu would be much cleaner now."
His Majesty the Emperor smiled hoarsely: "If you, Mr. Shen, are cruel, tens of thousands more people in Yandu City may die, and the bloody atmosphere may not be dissipated by now."
Shen Yi shook his head gently: "If I had been cruel at that time, more than tens of thousands of people would have died."
"But now, it's too late to regret. I will be patient and clean up the dirty things in Yandu City bit by bit, for Your Majesty..."
"Clean up a clean capital and come out."
"Beijing..."
His Majesty the Emperor repeated something in a low voice, and then sighed: "Moving the capital is not easy."
He walked toward the imperial city, glanced at Shen Yi specifically, and said, "Except for us, the emperor and his ministers, most of the other people in the court probably do not support moving the capital."
Mr. Shen was silent for a moment, lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, you must not waver at this time. If you waver."
"This thing can't happen."
"I have not wavered."
He looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "Shen Qing, please don't waver."
"Of course I will not waver."
Mr. Shen lowered his head and said: "I still hope that one day I can return to my hometown in Jiangdu and spend the rest of my life."
"This can't happen."
The emperor looked at Shen Yi's sleeves and said with a smile: "Even if one day the imperial court moves its capital to Yandu, you Shen Ziheng cannot escape to the south and leave me and the imperial court here."
"There are still a lot of things waiting for you to do in the court."
Mr. Shen shook his head and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I am really tired."
The emperor sighed: "I know, I know."
While they were talking, the two people had already entered the imperial city. His Majesty the Emperor raised his head and looked at the magnificent imperial city in front of him. He stopped and stood for a long time before he said, "It seems to be bigger than the imperial city in Jiankang. Some."
Shen Yi nodded and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is the place where you can display your ancestors and conquer the world."
