The inner guard took the initiative to send a message to Shen Yi. Don't think too much, it must be the emperor's order.
It was also because of this that Shen Yi took the initiative to enter the palace to see the emperor.
The main topic of this conversation was the assassination of Li Jian.
The emperor and Shen Yi both had their own sources of intelligence, and they both knew that behind the many assassinations of the fourth son of the emperor, Li Jian, although there was the intervention of local forces, at least several of them had nothing to do with local forces.
His Majesty the Emperor looked at Shen Yi and said silently: "They are too courageous."
Shen Yi also nodded and said: "Dachen is now at the height of its power. I suspect that even those local snakes will not easily gamble with the Nine Tribes. After all, the land of Qingzhang will at least allow them to make less money, and will not kill them." ."
"Therefore, I am still skeptical as to whether the assassination that the Fourth Highness encountered has anything to do with local forces."
The emperor coughed and said, "Shen Qing, do you mean that the five assassinations that the fourth son encountered in a few months all came from the north?"
"It doesn't necessarily come from within our Dachen."
Mr. Shen said silently: "Qing Jing Division is also possible."
"Pure Division, Purity Division."
The emperor snorted and said: "Beiqi has been out of the customs for more than ten years, and now when something happens, he will still put all the blame on the Purity Department!"
"There's no one else around, let's just say it."
The emperor looked at Shen Yi and said in a hoarse voice: "Shen Qing, do you think it has anything to do with the Sun family?"
Mr. Shen shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, no matter how stupid the Sun family is, it is impossible to leave any traces on this kind of thing. No matter who checks it, I am afraid it is unlikely that they will be able to find it."
"Even if we find the murderer, we can't find them."
His Majesty the Emperor banged the table with his fist and said angrily: "This is really outrageous!"
"I'm still alive and well!"
"There are people who have assassinated the princes I sent out several times in the land of Dachen! They have assassinated my imperial envoys!"
At this moment, Emperor Hong De was naturally extremely angry.
In the past thirty years, especially in the past ten years, Yuji has realized that he has controlled the entire Dachen, and his will can be implemented in almost every corner except the Huai'an Army.
Even the Huai'an Army can be completely commanded by him.
But now, the ruthless fact slapped him hard in the face.
In this era, no matter how successful the emperor is, it is impossible for one person to completely control the overall situation.
In fact, many inconspicuous corners of Hong De's reign were beyond the control of His Majesty the Emperor.
One sentence: "The sky is high and the emperor is far away" can already explain too much.
You know, even Shen Yi has no way to completely control the entire Huai'an army now. After all, there are more than 100,000 troops, and a small number of them are doing random things, and Shen Yi can't even notice it.
"His Majesty."
Shen Yi lowered his head and said: "This matter cannot be made too big. First, it will shake the foundation of the country, and second, it will scare off the enemy."
"I know."
His Majesty the Emperor suppressed his anger and said in a cold voice: "Have I not ignored the government affairs and indulged in lust?"
Only then did Shen Yi suddenly understand.
Those people from the Jiaofang Department in Deqing Palace were deliberately brought here by the emperor in order to put on a show for outsiders.
It makes people think that Emperor Hongde, who has worked hard for thirty years, finally started to slack off and start enjoying himself.
After investigating corruption cases for more than half a year and overthrowing hundreds of ministers in the imperial court, Emperor Hongde did not sheath his sword, but instead sheathed the blade and prepared to swing it next time.
And this swing of the sword may be the last thing the Emperor Chen does for the court.
"His Majesty."
Lord Shen thought for a while and asked, "Is there anything I can help with?"
"Of course there is."
His Majesty the Emperor said slowly: "Meng Lian, the general who is now in the Yandu Forbidden Army, was the general who accompanied your Huai'an army in the Northern Expedition. Now he is in charge of half of the Forbidden Army."
"And the other half of the Forbidden Army, many generals are also from the Huai'an Army. They were able to stand out in the Forbidden Army because of their military exploits in the Northern Expedition."
"Shen Qing, you are the one who controls the Forbidden Army. As long as you are here, the Forbidden Army will not cause any trouble."
Shen Yi quickly shook his head: "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. Not to mention whether these Forbidden Soldiers have made friends with others in private. Even if they haven't, it is impossible to have any impact on the Forbidden Army just relying on their old friendship."
"So I'm going to ask Ling Su's troops to withdraw to the west and garrison Miyun, and let Su Ding deploy Shanhaiguan."
"Ling Su's command is still under your control, Shen Qing."
Speaking of this, the emperor said silently: "I will give a secret order to Prime Minister Zhao and ask him to assist the fourth son and try his best to run the errand in the south as beautifully as possible within one year."
"Wait until Ling Su's troops are in place."
His Majesty the Emperor said slowly: "Let Di report to the Department and start publicizing Laosi's deeds in punishing corrupt officials and cruel officials in the south."
"In addition, I will make other preparations."
The emperor said slowly: "At that time, I will greet Prime Minister Zhongshu. Shen Qing does not have to worry too much about dealing with the entire court on his own."
Shen Yi frowned and said, "Your Majesty, you..."
The emperor stood up, stretched, and said with a smile: "Do you think my current situation is not bad and I look quite energetic?"
"Actually, I don't have much strength anymore."
The emperor's expression dimmed and he stretched out his hand to Shen Yi.
Shen Yi reached out and held his hand, feeling shocked.
There is no meat left in His Majesty’s hands!
Almost all bones!
Although Emperor Hong De is not fat, he was not considered thin before and could only be said to be quite average. But now, although it is not obvious on his face, he has lost a lot of fat on his body!
"In the past few years, my appetite has not been very good and I can't eat anything."
The emperor said quietly: "The imperial doctor said that if I take good care of myself, I may still have another three to five years, but if I am not good, it may happen overnight."
Mr. Shen's breathing became faster and he whispered: "Your Majesty, Xu Fu brought back many Westerners from the west, including some Western doctors. I will write to him now and ask him to bring Western doctors to the palace. Come, let your Majesty have a look."
Emperor Hongde nodded happily: "Okay."
"See if the foreign monks are good at chanting sutras."
After hearing the emperor's simple promise, Mr. Shen came back to his senses and looked a little embarrassed.
This is no small matter.
At this point in time, the medical skills of Western doctors may not be much better than those of imperial physicians.
And once something goes wrong, future generations may have to shift the blame onto Shen Yi.
His Majesty the Emperor thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'd better give Xu Fu a secret edict."
Shen Yi shook his head and said: "I am writing to Xu Fu. I will first ask those Western doctors to come to Beijing and communicate with the people from the Taiyuan Hospital. After that, Your Majesty will not be late in issuing an edict."
The emperor smiled and nodded.
"Then it's settled."
…………
Shanhaiguan Camp.
When the young Marquis Shen Yuan, together with the generals and their wives, arrived at the Shanhaiguan camp, Ling Su and Su Ding happened to be there, and they were discussing matters in the big tent.
They are switching defense.
At this time, Ling Su had received a secret order from the court and was preparing to lead his troops south to station in Miyun, while Su Ding's leading army had already arrived at Shanhaiguan.
Knowing that Shen Yuan had arrived, the two generals personally came out to greet him and saluted Shen Yuan with clasped fists.
"Little Marquis."
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Shen Yuan immediately bowed his head in return and said with a smile: "Uncle Ling, Uncle Su, why are you all here?"
Ling and Su looked at each other, and then Su Ding said: "Little Marquis, according to the imperial decree, I have been transferred to Shanhaiguan, while General Ling has been transferred to another place."
Shen Yuan was a little curious and asked, "Where will Uncle Ling be transferred?"
Ling Su hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The decree states that it must be kept secret. Only His Majesty and Duke Shen in the court know about it."
Seeing what he said, Shen Yuan did not continue to ask, but said with a smile: "I also came with the imperial court's decree. I asked Shanhaiguan Camp to assign ten thousand-household camps to me, and I took them to Goryeo. Garrison, now the Shanhaiguan camp has changed its defense, I wonder which of the two uncles will send troops to me?"
"Just me."
Before Ling Su could speak, Su Ding rushed to say, "Su's soldiers are arriving here one after another. In a few days, they will be able to dedicate ten thousand-household camps to the young marquis."
Ling Su opened his mouth to say something, but after a moment of silence, he shook his head and sighed: "I won't argue with Brother Anbang about this matter."
"But the arsenal here at Shanhaiguan still has horses. The young marquis can choose the rations for the ten thousand-household camps at will."
Shen Yuan grinned, lowered his head deeply and clasped his fists, saying, "Well, thank you two uncles."
Ling Su stepped forward, patted Shen Yuan on the shoulder, and said: "Little Marquis, it was Duke Shen who took us all the way to drive Zhu Zhenren out. Zhu Zhenren must hate Duke Shen to the core. When you get there, Although it is within the territory of Goryeo, once Zhu Zhenren finds out that you are the son of Duke Shen, he might one day come after you."
"Be careful."
General Su looked at Shen Yuan and said: "Over the years, our army has raised some pigeons. The message transmission is not accurate, but it is enough to transmit the signal. The young marquis will take a dozen of them there. Once something goes wrong, tie a red rope around the legs and let them all fly."
Su Ding said silently: "As long as I see more than five of them, I will send troops immediately."
"The cavalry will surely arrive on the battlefield within three days."
What he said was so true that Shen Yuan couldn't help but lower his head again and said sincerely, "My nephew, thank you, Uncle Su."
Su Ding shook his head: "That's what I should do."
Shen Yuan smiled at the two generals and said: "The two uncles should be at Shanhaiguan these days. It just so happens that my nephew wants to ask for advice from the two uncles on some matters related to leading the army. "
Ling Su smiled hoarsely: "Mr. Shen's military skills are like a god, but the young marquis came to us to learn from him."
General Su thought for a while and then said slowly.
