His Majesty the Emperor closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
Mr. Shen was silent for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, now that the people in the East Palace have a list, what should they do?"
His Majesty the Emperor still closed his eyes and said slowly: "No matter what the deeds in the court say, no matter what they think in their hearts, they have not done anything, so there is no need to do anything about it. The list will be kept for the future..."
"Just don't reuse it."
Shen Yi nodded and was about to speak when he heard the emperor say coldly: "The Sun family has been jumping up and down for decades relying on my favor, and now I can't tolerate them."
Shen Yi nodded silently: "I understand."
"Sun's misdeeds over the years do not require this crime. They can be punished for other crimes."
The emperor opened his eyes, looked at Shen Yi and said: "Shen Qing should pay attention to me behind the scenes. The ones who did the evil are the Sun family in Yanjing, the Sun family in Nanjing..."
"If you can avoid being involved, then don't be involved."
His Majesty the Emperor still thinks very carefully.
When he first moved the capital, he deliberately split the Sun family almost in two. His own mother's family, the brothers and nephews of Queen Mother Sun, did not come to Yanjing and remained in Nanjing.
But these people who arrived in Yanjing were actually Empress Sun's family members. The emperor did not have a good impression of these people.
Obviously, from the time he moved the capital, the emperor had thought about this matter and how to deal with his descendants.
Mr. Shen sighed and said, "I'm afraid the Queen will have some objections."
The emperor looked at Shen Yi and said silently: "She is not the new emperor. She has no voice when she speaks. She can only protect her own safety and don't worry about it."
This is a very simple reason.
Even if she is the legitimate mother again, after the new emperor succeeds to the throne, he can at most maintain respect for Empress Sun, but it will be difficult for Empress Sun to show off her prestige as the Queen Mother.
In another world, after Ming Wuzong died suddenly, his mother, Queen Zhang, could not protect her brothers, and the descendants were soon wiped out.
Even she herself is in a miserable state.
However, the situation of the old Taoist priest is different from the current situation. Even if there are other princes and successors, they still have to respect the Queen Sun as their legitimate mother and treat her with filial piety. Otherwise, she will be unfilial in the history books in the future.
Mr. Shen lowered his head again and said, "Your Majesty, will you... go to Baoding Mansion to have a look?"
The emperor opened his eyes and looked at Shen Yi.
Then he nodded silently: "Yes, as your future father-in-law, you really should go take a look."
He was still going to speak, but Eunuch Gao stepped over and lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, several prime ministers are also waiting to meet you outside the palace."
The emperor frowned, and then said slowly: "Let them come in."
Shen Yi lowered his head and saluted: "Your Majesty, I will leave first."
"Um."
The emperor said slowly: "What the prince did is really ugly. If you say it will bring shame on the royal family, don't make it public. Even if you have to abolish the crown prince, just say that he has lost his moral character."
Shen Yi was startled, then lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is too big, I'm afraid it can't be hidden."
"I'm not trying to hide anything from anyone."
The emperor leaned on his chair and sighed silently: "Just save my face a little bit."
Shen Yi then lowered his head: "I obey."
After saying this, he exited the Manna Hall and walked to the door of the Manna Hall. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by a voice: "Master Shen."
Shen Yi turned around and saw Empress Sun standing at the door of Ganlu Palace. He stepped forward quickly, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, Shen Yi, pays homage to the Empress."
Queen Sun looked at Shen Yi with a complicated expression on her face.
"Master Shen, Rong'er..."
Shen Yi shook his head slightly: "Empress, your Majesty and the court have not yet decided on the prince's matter, so it is not convenient for me to talk about it for the time being."
Empress Sun took a deep breath and said, "Master Shen, please tell me the truth, Rong'er..."
"Will it be abolished?"
Shen Yi shook his head: "I don't know, but I know."
"No matter who ascends the throne in the future, he will respect his mother-in-law as his legitimate mother. This is the ethical code and no one can change it."
After hearing this, Queen Sun's face brightened slightly. She looked at the Manlu Palace and asked, "Your Majesty, he..."
Shen Yi shook his head again: "Empress, you'd better ask the imperial doctor."
"Okay."
The Empress looked at Shen Yi and sighed: "No matter what, your Majesty always believes in you, Mr. Shen. I'll leave everything to you at this stall."
Shen Yi leaned forward and said, "Don't worry, Madam, even though I will be shattered to pieces, I still have to repay Your Majesty's grace!"
…………
Baoding Prefecture.
When Mr. Shen arrived quickly, it was already the evening of the next day.
It is worth mentioning that if Shen Yi's role in the imperial court was not too special, Baoding Mansion should be the official residence of his governor-general of Northern Zhili.
As soon as he arrived at Baoding Prefecture, officials from the Sansi Yamen of Beizhili came to visit his immediate superior. However, Shen Yi was not interested in official matters at the moment. After he asked where King Wu was, he hurried to the courtyard where King Wu was recovering from his injuries. .
His Highness King Wu was lying on the bed with his forehead wrapped in gauze. When he saw Shen Yi walking in, he struggled to sit up. Shen Yi just glanced at him quietly. His Highness King Wu lay down again honestly.
Shen Yi waved his hand to drive away the other people in the room, then moved a chair and sat in front of King Wu, quietly looking at the young man in front of him.
"Your Highness, do you think you are very smart?"
King Wu's eyes flickered and he felt a little guilty.
"Uncle, my nephew was really panicked at that time..."
"Your Highness."
Shen Yi reminded: "Your Majesty has more than two princes."
King Wu was stunned when he heard this, then raised his head to look at Shen Yi, his eyes a little panicked.
Shen Yi shook his head and said: "I warned His Highness in advance to ensure His Highness's safety. Does His Highness have to use this as a means to compete for the reserve?"
King Wu was lying on the bed and said with a bitter smile: "Uncle, the third brother was still too far away from me at that time. If I turned around and entered Baoding Mansion, I would be safe. But what is the crime of the third brother?"
"He is the prince, and he is taking five hundred horses out for a tour."
"No one can say anything about him."
His Highness King Wu gritted his teeth and said: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. My nephew must seize this opportunity and convict the prince of the crime of killing his younger brother."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid if you want to succeed, you will have to rely on crooked ways."
Shen Yi looked at him with an expressionless expression on his face: "I didn't intervene in the fight for the legitimate son, but His Highness's behavior seems like I ended up setting up a situation for Your Highness."
His Highness King Wu forced a smile on his face: "Uncle, this is my nephew's fault. The matter was urgent at the time, and my nephew had no time to think carefully. He must make a decision immediately."
"Unfortunately…"
He whispered: "It's a pity that my nephew is not good at riding and accidentally fell off the horse, otherwise..."
Shen Yi stood up, looked at the "future son-in-law" who was wrapped like a rice dumpling, shook his head slightly, and sighed: "Before coming in, I asked the doctor, and the doctor said that many of the bones in your body are broken. "
"Especially the left leg, the fall was the most serious."
Mr. Shen put his hands on his sleeves and said quietly: "If your legs cannot recover, I'm afraid you will end up like the Second Highness..."
In this era, there is no surgical operation. If a broken bone does not grow back properly during recovery, it will leave lifelong sequelae.
The second prince's lameness is like this.
When His Highness King Wu heard this, his expression darkened: "My nephew also heard what the doctor said."
He looked at Shen Yi, took a breath, and said, "Uncle, if my nephew is really lame, then this is his fate. My nephew admits it."
"No matter what, my nephew finally fought hard."
"I won't regret it in the future."
Mr. Shen put his hands behind his back and looked at the expression of His Highness King Wu. After a long time, he slowly said: "It's rare that His Highness didn't call me father-in-law today, otherwise I would have turned around and left."
His Highness King Wu grinned.
"Uncle, you are looking down on your nephew."
"Nephew, you are not that shameless."
Mr. Shen put his hands behind his back and turned to leave.
"The matter has come to this, and everything is left to God."
