The emperor's meaning was simple. Even after the capital was moved, Shen Yi was still commanding the frontier troops in the north.
After all, the border troops are not in Yanjing. Even in Yanjing City now, there are only Shen Yi's 2,000 guard battalions stationed and soldiers from the government yamen.
As for the Huai'an army, it is further north, more than five hundred meters away from Yanjing.
The reason why Emperor Hong De made this decision was probably due to two reasons.
The first reason was naturally because Shen Yi had a relationship with the emperor. When the two first met, it was the sixth year of Hongde. At that time, the two were only sixteen years old. In the blink of an eye, they had already been friends for more than twenty years.
Although Shen Yi has made great achievements in more than twenty years, he has not done anything extraordinary and appears to be very "sensible". It is precisely because of this kind of compliance that Emperor Hong De is extremely reassured about Shen Yi himself.
The second reason is more realistic.
That is, the imperial court cannot do without Shen Yi, and the north cannot do without Shen Yi.
In the past ten years, Xue Wei and Su Ding both visited Jiankang twice, while Ling Su visited Jiankang more than five times.
He must have reported the situation of the Huai'an Army to the emperor exactly as it was. At this time, His Majesty the Emperor knew very well that once the Huai'an Army was no longer under Shen Yi's control and was taken over by others from the imperial court, it would immediately become a piece of loose sand, and...
Combat effectiveness will also drop rapidly.
Today, the powerful enemy in northern Xinjiang is still there. Without Shen Yi, the defense in northern Xinjiang will be unstable. In addition, if the imperial court moves to the north, it may be even more dangerous.
Another point is that if after the imperial court moved north, Shen Yi was really allowed to go to the poetry and wine garden, Emperor Hongde would be even more worried. This was the ruthless man who pulled out 20,000 troops out of thin air in the southeast and finally fought all the way to Yandu. .
If he gets to the south, feels uncomfortable, or doesn't deal with future kings, who knows whether he will go to the southeast to raise an army and start another northern expedition?
As for killing, that is even more unrealistic.
Firstly, His Majesty the Emperor could not bear to be so ruthless, and secondly, Emperor Hongde was now very concerned about his reputation. If he did such a thing, he would not be able to remove this stain even after thousands of years.
Therefore, Shen Yi could not leave the north.
In this case, Emperor Hongde could only treat him with sincerity.
As to how much of this was due to affection and how much was due to trade-offs, perhaps only Emperor Hongde himself knew clearly.
When Shen Yi heard this, he raised his head and looked at the emperor, the expression on his face was a little complicated.
After getting along with each other for more than 20 years, Shen Yi knew very well the temperament of His Majesty the Emperor. Emperor Hong De was by no means a weak-tempered person. The fact that he could say these words to himself showed that...
His body has reached a somewhat bad state.
Seeing Shen Yi's expression, Emperor Hong De smiled: "Shen Qing, don't think too much, I won't die for a while."
He paused and then sighed: "No matter what, I will try my best to move the capital. This move of the capital..."
"If I can't move in my lifetime, the king of future generations..."
"I can't even move."
His Majesty the Emperor coughed twice, with a flush on his face, and said, "Qing Shen needs to put more effort into this matter. We, the emperor and his ministers, will try our best to get the matter done within two or three years."
Mr. Shen was silent for a long time and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there are too many things to do to move the capital. It is too heavy. Since your dragon body is exhausted, I think it is better to delay it for a few years and leave the government affairs to the prince. Your Majesty, please rest for a few years."
"It won't be too late for your Majesty to be promoted after your Majesty's health has recovered."
His Majesty the Emperor smiled: "Why did Shen Qing suddenly say such things? Is it because he is worried that when the imperial court goes to the north, your status as a frontier official will not be guaranteed?"
This was a joke, but Mr. Shen was not in the mood to laugh. He just looked up at the emperor with a worried look on his face.
Emperor Hong De stopped his smile and said silently: "What I am worried about is that if it is not completed in the past two years, I will not have the strength to do it in the future."
He sighed: "There are countless matters in the court, big and small. Even if we really establish a prince, can we really entrust him with all the state affairs?"
"If the third child becomes the crown prince and supervises the country's governance, the Sun family will not know how crazy they will be."
"My mother..."
Mentioning his mother, Emperor Hong De couldn't help but clench his fists and gritted his teeth: "In this life, all the losses will fall on the Sun family!"
Mr. Shen stood in front of the emperor and was silent for a moment. He lowered his head and bowed in salute: "Your Majesty, more than ten years ago, I once wrote half of the water dragon chant in front of your majesty. Now I have the courage to fill in the upper and lower half of it for your majesty."
His Majesty the Emperor smiled, pointed to his chair, and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, sit here and write."
Shen Yi shook his head, walked to the edge of the throne, and did not sit down. Instead, he picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, thought about it for a while, and started to write.
"Today there is a man of thousands of years, half a century old, full of splendor and splendor of the dynasty."
"Back then in the Southern Dynasties, now try it, it's available all over the world!"
"The journey to the south has been hasty, and the grudges of Jiazi have disappeared in songs and wine."
After writing this, Shen Yi looked back at the emperor who was standing behind him and watching.
With tears in his eyes, he wrote the last paragraph.
"In his next year, we will put things in order."
"Bless your majesty."
Emperor Hong De looked at the Half Que Ci and was silent for a long time. Finally, he took the brush from Shen Yi's hand and wrote down the Half Que Ci written by Shen Yi on another piece of paper.
"Crossing the Yangtze River to the south, these people are really good at economics..."
…
After finishing writing the poem "Banque", His Majesty the Emperor touched his chin and smiled: "Shen Qing's second half of the poem seems to be a lot worse than the first half of the poem."
My dear, there will be more after this chapter, please click on the next page to continue, there will be more exciting things to come!
He said in a joking tone: "Probably just to flatter me, I changed a few sentences."
"but…"
His Majesty the Emperor patted Shen Yi on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "I am very satisfied."
"In his next year, things will be straightened out..."
After the emperor read this sentence, he pulled Mr. Shen's sleeve and smiled heartily: "In his next year, when things have been sorted out, Shen Qing and I will go for a stroll along the Qinhuai River together!"
Mr. Shen also smiled.
"I obey your will."
………………
A few days after the death of the Empress Dowager Sun, the coffin and coffin were buried in the underground palace. Emperor Hongde was still very sad and kept vigil for the Empress Dowager in the imperial mausoleum for several more days.
After that, His Majesty the Emperor refused to go to court. After several days of invitations from all the civil and military officials, His Majesty the Emperor, whose eyes were red with tears, left the imperial mausoleum and returned to the palace.
Even so, His Majesty the Emperor still refused to pay attention to the affairs of the court and handed over all matters of the court to the council. He himself did not even read a single memorial.
At this time, the third son of the emperor, Li Rong, came to the door of the Shen family and asked to see Shen Yi.
Mr. Shen did not make it difficult for His Majesty the Emperor's "legitimate son" and went to the main entrance to greet him personally. After seeing Shen Yi, the third prince bowed his head sensibly and bowed in salute: "Uncle."
Shen Yi returned the salute with his hands raised, shook his head and said, "Your Highness, please stop shouting like that, I can't bear it."
Li Rong was a little frightened after hearing this. He lowered his head and said, "My father once said personally that all sons of the royal family will call you uncle..."
"If my uncle can't stand it, no one in the court can."
Shen Yi stared at Li Rong's face for a long time. After a moment of silence, he put his hands behind his back and said, "Your Highness, come with me."
Li Rong quickly lowered his head and said yes.
The two of them walked into the Shen family's study, one behind the other.
Mr. Shen sat in his seat, looked at Li Rong, and said: "I know why your highness is here, and I can also give him advice. But in the future, your highness will get what you want. You must assist your majesty and do more for your majesty." Share some court affairs, and..."
Mr. Shen sighed: "Don't do anything that makes His Majesty sad."
Li Rong was a little panicked when he heard this: "My nephew, I don't know where my uncle started talking about this..."
"Your Highness will know in the future."
Mr. Shen picked up a pen and wrote a line of words on the white paper in front of him. Then he handed the piece of paper to Li Rong and said, "After your Majesty returns to the throne, your Highness will be able to get what you deserve for writing this letter." I wish."
His Highness the Third Prince quickly took it with both hands and saw only ten words written on the paper.
