When Mr. Shen heard this, the smile on his face faded a little.
Obviously, he knew this.
To be more precise, it has something to do with him.
"Senior brother, His Majesty has been uneasy both internally and externally since he ascended the throne. It has been more than thirty years now."
Shen Yi picked up the tea, took a sip, smiled, and then said: "After thirty years of hard work, it's time for Your Majesty to rest for a few days, isn't it?"
"No one said not to let His Majesty rest, but if His Majesty wants to rest for a while, he should let the Crown Prince observe the government. But so far there is no order, and there is no movement at all in the East Palace."
Zhang Jian sighed and said, "Now, the government and the public are talking a lot, saying that Your Majesty is at odds with the Crown Prince."
Shen Yi said with a smile: "Your Majesty is never confused when doing things, senior brother should not worry about this matter, just do your own thing with peace of mind. If your majesty does not go to court, the power of Zhongshu will be even greater. Senior brother, as the prime minister, It can also be a little smoother.”
"That's not what I said."
Zhang Jian shook his head and said: "If you were a prime minister like Yang Jingzong back then, you would naturally want your majesty to ignore political affairs so as to seize power. But it is different for me. I hope that the court will be stable and continue to operate without any problems."
Zhang Jian's thoughts were also those of many scholar-bureaucrats. In their view, the court was a machine that was always running, and it was best for this machine to keep running without any problems.
As for who is driving the machine, sometimes it doesn't matter.
Even if the Holy King and Mingzhu were on the throne, these scholar-bureaucrats would urge the emperor to establish a heir as soon as possible. After all, the Holy King and Mingzhu could not live forever.
Same reason.
Now, even these prime ministers can see that something is not right about His Majesty the Emperor, like Zhang Jian, who wants to get the prince into an "internship" state as soon as possible.
Just in case...just in case.
If the emperor dies suddenly one day, and the prince has no experience in governing, then the court is likely to be in trouble.
Especially this kind of prince who has already turned sixteen.
Shen Yi thought for a while, then shook his head gently: "Senior brother, even if this issue needs to be considered, it should be considered by Zhongshu first. Now that Uncle Zhao is not here, Zhongshu is concerned about Princess Song Yuan, so don't think too much about it."
Zhang Jian turned to look at Shen Yi and said suspiciously, "I always feel that I am hiding something from me."
Shen Yi smiled and shook his head without saying anything.
Zhang Jian sighed and said, "After your boss gets married, you are going to send him to the north to lead the army?"
Shen Yi nodded lightly.
"If he wants to do something on his own, he must leave home and make a living."
Speaking of this, Mr. Shen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "To be honest, if he had calmed down and married the clan, my brother, I would have returned to Jiangdu to retire."
"That's what I said."
Zhang Jian smiled hoarsely: "How can these facts in Yandu be separated from you? If you hadn't been able to suppress the courtiers, it would have been a problem wherever the official offices of the various yamen were located. Even now, it would be a problem. You may not be able to settle down.”
"Besides, if you were not in the court, those ghosts and ghosts in the dark would have jumped out all at once."
Shen Yi lowered his head to drink tea and sighed softly: "There is something that outsiders no longer believe when I talk about it now."
"When I joined the officialdom, my inner wish was that after the Fan family fell, I would return to my hometown in Jiangdu to set up some experimental fields and build some courtyards..."
"When I was selected as a candidate, people from the same clan came to join me. I also left a hundred acres of land for myself to use in the future."
(It is written at the beginning of this paragraph...)
"Everyone is like that."
Zhang Xianggong said with a smile: "When my eldest father was the prime minister, I worked as a dandy in Jiankang City every day. I don't know how happy I was. I never thought that one day I would sit in this council hall and do the work. What a Prime Minister."
After the two chatted for a while, Zhang Jian pulled Shen Yi's sleeve and said: "Son, I will definitely be present at your Shen Yuan's wedding. Not only will I be present, but most of the officials in the court will also be present. Just don’t worry.”
"But before that, I'd better go to the palace for me and see His Majesty."
He sighed softly: "At this time, Your Majesty doesn't want to see anyone. Most things have been left to Zhongshu. Only you can see Your Majesty."
Shen Yi was silent for a while, then nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll go into the palace later."
He stood up and looked at Zhang Jian. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "There is one thing I want to talk to my senior brother about."
Zhang Jian perked up and said, "Say it quickly."
"The matter that Luo Yong exposed last time has now been investigated by the Sanfa Division. At most, the case will be closed by the end of this year. After this year, the new year will turn around."
Shen Yi whispered: "That guy Zhou Yuanlang will probably enter Zhongshu."
Zhang Jian frowned subconsciously, then nodded silently.
"I see."
………………
Manna Hall.
His Majesty the Emperor was lying on the soft couch, holding a miscellaneous book in his hand, and was flipping through the pages. Master Shen walked into the Manlu Hall with his cloth in his arms, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty."
The emperor raised his eyes and looked at Shen Yi. He first motioned for Shen Yi to sit down, and then said with a smile: "What? Those people couldn't hold it any longer. How about sending you into the palace to investigate my situation?"
Shen Yi smiled awkwardly: "I miss Your Majesty, so I came to the palace to have a look."
"His Majesty…"
Mr. Shen asked: "How are you doing lately?"
"great."
His Majesty the Emperor sat up straight and said with a smile: "I followed Shen Qing's suggestion and tried not to look at the piles of documents for three days. It really relieved me a lot. In the past half month, I have dealt with most things. I left it to Zhongshu, and I just felt that nothing happened and I felt light."
"My mood has improved a lot."
Speaking of this, the emperor shook his head slightly and sighed: "It's a pity..."
"It's a pity that I couldn't use this method more than ten or twenty years ago. Otherwise, by now, I should be as young as Shen Qing."
The emperor's physical condition cannot be ignored.
The real situation is that one night almost a month ago, His Majesty the Emperor passed out in the Manna Palace. The situation was very urgent at that time. Before he passed out, His Majesty the Emperor asked the eunuch to summon Shen Yi into the palace urgently.
At that time in the Ganlu Palace, the emperor's face was very ugly, almost as if he wanted to leave him alone, which shocked Shen Yi!
Fortunately, the emperor was not too old after all, so he survived that time smoothly.
At that time, Shen Yi suggested to the emperor that he should completely put down his political affairs for a few days, take a good rest for a few days, and see the effect.
This is the reason why His Majesty the Emperor has not attended court in the past month.
However, this matter was top secret and no one could tell it, so Shen Yi did not make it clear to Zhang Jian.
After all, if others knew that the emperor passed out a month ago, chaos would immediately break out inside and outside the court.
And now, after more than half a month of "Shen's Treatment", His Majesty the Emperor's spirit has obviously recovered a little, and his complexion is much better.
But it's hard to say whether it can be fully recovered.
After all, it’s hard to get back...
As for Shen Yi's visit to the palace, he was apparently invited by Zhang Jianzhi to be a spy. In fact, he came to the palace to visit a sick person.
Seeing that the emperor had recovered a little, Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Your Majesty, since this method is effective, you can rest for a while and your body should be able to recover slowly. As for the court..."
"There are several prime ministers inside, the Grand Master Chen and the imperial army outside, so nothing can go wrong."
The emperor sighed quietly.
"I can hide for a month or two, but I can't hide for a year and a half. I have to deal with political affairs. It's a pity..."
He didn't finish speaking, but Shen Yi knew that he was regretting that the East Palace was not satisfactory.
Otherwise, by this time, he would have begun to slowly hand over power.
His Majesty the Emperor stood up and said with a smile: "After resting for a month, I am indeed much more energetic now. Yesterday I even had the idea of turning over the cards, but I thought of not damaging my energy and spirit, so I held it back."
He looked at Shen Yi and said softly: "I haven't gone to court for almost a month. I'm afraid there's already a lot of discussion outside?"
Shen Yi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, you are so powerful that even those in the court would not dare to cause trouble even if they have 10,000 courages."
"They don't make trouble because you are still in the court, Shen Qing, and they don't dare to make trouble."
"That's all."
Emperor Hong De smiled freely and said: "It's time to find an opportunity to show up and make them feel at ease."
He looked at Shen Yi and asked with a smile: "When will Shen Yuan get married?"
