The young Marquis moved a chair and sat in front of his father. He looked up at his father and said, "Dad, if I marry a princess from the royal family, what will happen to our family in the future?"
Mr. Shen smiled dumbly.
"Nothing will happen. As long as you stay in the court and enjoy the blessings, no matter where our family is, we can only live in an honest manner. We can't let Ji'er fall out with the court. If we really fall out with the court, what will happen to the Shen family? You little kid The house must have been reduced to ashes."
"Neither your mother nor I would bear to do this."
Shen Yuan took a deep breath and whispered: "Dad, if my son goes to the imperial court, will the imperial court be in trouble..."
Shen Yi was silent for a moment, looked up at Shen Yuan, and said silently: "What you said is a very good question. It's time for us, father and son, to talk about this matter, so that you can have an idea."
Shen Yuan stood up and said, "Son, go see if there is anyone outside..."
"Need not."
Shen Yi shook his head and said: "Uncle Jiang is watching outside personally, no one will come close."
"Sit down."
Shen Yuan obeyed and sat down honestly.
Master Shen poured himself a cup of tea. After thinking about it, he poured another cup for his son. After pushing the tea over, he said, "My father has been thinking about the question you just asked for many years."
"You married the eldest princess. Although your father can still command the army, as the Shen family is increasingly tied to the royal family, we will have to compromise step by step in the future. Hong De will not have any problems in the future."
"When we arrived at the New Emperor..."
"The new emperor will definitely start taking back military power."
"At that time, you have to hand it over even if you don't want to, but..."
Shen Yi lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "After all, my father has done things for the imperial court these years. As long as he does not intend to rebel, the imperial court will not touch our family no matter what. At least the prosperity and wealth of the two generations of you and my father will be saved. It won’t be a problem, the only concern is…”
These words have been buried in Shen Yi's heart for these years and have never been mentioned to anyone, not even Zhao Jizhou, Zhang Jian, or even his own wife. Shen Yi has never mentioned them.
But now, his eldest son has grown up, and it is time for him to take care of many things.
The young Marquis picked up the tea and took a deep breath: "The worry is that in order to solve the hidden danger, when the imperial court removes our military power, it will definitely take action against the generals who are close to our family, such as Uncle Xue, and...Uncle Su. "
Shen Yi nodded silently: "When they reach this point, both of them will be in a difficult situation. If the king of future generations is kind, they can still save their lives and some wealth. If the king of future generations is more mean..."
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to save their lives."
Shen Yuan suddenly raised his head and looked at his father: "Dad, you won't just watch them..."
"good."
Mr. Shen drank tea slowly and said, "In these years, what my father has been doing, besides running new schools and strengthening the army, is to find a way out."
He looked at Shen Yuan and said quietly: "Since Yandu was destroyed, there is no need to find a way out for your father and me. If I don't seek rebellion, the court will never touch me. As for the next generation, you Now that you have made the choice to support the imperial court, there is no need for me to worry about you and your descendants as a father."
"If you become the consort, the only thing you will do in the future as a father is to find a way out for your Uncle Xue and the others."
"After I finish these things, I will go back to my hometown in Jiangdu with your mother and live a few years of leisure."
The little Marquis swallowed his saliva.
"Dad, where is Princess Goryeo..."
"Speak plainly."
Mr. Shen's expression remained calm.
At the point where he is now, his ability is enough to grasp most situations, so no matter what happens, he appears to be calm and at ease.
"That's not the Princess of Goryeo. That's the reason why you and our Shen family took over Goryeo when the situation goes wrong in the future."
"You became the son-in-law of the King of Goryeo, and your father immediately started to arrange the affairs of Goryeo. The country of Goryeo will be the Shen family's retreat in the future, and it will also be the room I leave for the Shen family."
Shen Yi has already thought about the follow-up matters.
Once the marriage to Goryeo was completed, the people under Mr. Shen began to infiltrate Goryeo and arrange the succession to the Goryeo throne.
The King of Goryeo had more than one son.
After he passes away, as long as Shen Yi supports another prince besides the crown prince and sends troops to help him, he can easily help this prince to the throne. When the time comes, he will send some people over to show his affection and move him for benefit. It will definitely be possible to remotely control Korea to a certain extent.
At that time, the Shen family's back garden was completed.
After hearing what his old father said, Shen Yuan couldn't help but sit on the chair. He looked up at Shen Yi and murmured: "Dad, will your Majesty agree to this marriage?"
"Will do."
Mr. Shen was still drinking tea: "I said hello in advance. The imperial court needs your father at this time, and your majesty will not deny this honor. Moreover, our family has a way out, which is not necessarily a bad thing for the imperial court."
"Your Majesty, there will be no obstacles."
Shen Yi said slowly: "Our Shen family has been in northern Xinjiang for more than ten years. Now, for the sake of the stability of the entire Liaodong, we are marrying Korea on behalf of the imperial court. No matter it is said or sounded, it is reasonable and reasonable."
"No one can say anything more."
The young Marquis scratched his head and asked the last question: "Dad, is the princess from Goryeo good-looking?"
"I have no idea."
Shen Yi smiled and said, "But your uncle Su brought you a portrait from Korea. You can go to his place to have a look."
Shen Yuan stood up, knelt in front of Shen Yi, lowered his head and said, "Dad, my son chooses the latter."
Shen Yi said "hmm" and said, "I guessed it."
"This second road is not easy. Since you have chosen this road, you will have to work hard from today on."
"I can no longer be as leisurely and carefree as I used to be."
Mr. Shen said softly: "All the troops in the Huai'an Army, you have to walk around a lot, especially the young people from the Soviet side, you have to walk around a lot."
He thought for a while and then said with a smile: "But it doesn't necessarily have to be you looking for them. As long as you are in the army, the Soviet Union and others will take the initiative to come find you."
"Within three to five years, I will have a clear understanding of the situation of the armies in the north. As a father..."
Shen Yi knocked on the table lightly: "You will probably be in the imperial court for a while. I will give you some authority in the north to see if you can handle those complicated things."
"You don't have to put too much pressure on yourself and force yourself."
Mr. Shen said with a smile: "If it doesn't work, our family will go back to Jiangdu to live. Not many people dare to touch us. As for the retreat of the Huai'an army, I will have to find another way for my father."
Shen Yuan knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said: "Dad, you went out to lead the army when you were eighteen or nineteen years old. How can my child inherit some of your skills? Don't worry, within three years, my child will definitely lead the Huai'an army. I’m familiar with everything.”
“I won’t let you down, let alone let your more than ten years of hard work go to waste!”
"Good boy."
Mr. Shen said with a smile: "That's all we are talking about today. When the matter in Shengjing is over and we return to Yanjing, we will start making arrangements for my father."
"yes!"
Shen Yuan lowered his head and exited the tent.
After he left, Jiang Shengcai walked in, walked to Shen Yi, and gave Shen Yi some tea.
Mr. Shen took the tea and said softly: "Send news to the people in Korea and tell them to choose the most useless son of the King of Korea for me."
Jiang Sheng first lowered his head in response, and then said: "Young Master, he..."
Shen Yi nodded silently and said with a smile: "It's not surprising, if he has two or three points of ambition, he will choose this."
Jiang Sheng felt a little distressed and said: "I'm afraid the eldest son will suffer some hardships in the next few years."
Mr. Shen looked calm: "At his age, he is at the age to endure hardship."
Speaking of this, Shen Yi looked up and looked outside, and said silently: "The Chinese New Year will be in a month or two. Let's make some arrangements. I will go back to Yanjing before the end of the year."
Jiang Sheng responded yes.
Mr. Shen was still looking outside the tent, somewhat lost in thought.
Moving the capital of the imperial court has been put on the agenda.
I should be able to see my old friends again in Yanjing soon...
