When Shen Yuan left the capital and went north, in addition to preserving the foundation of the Huai'an Army, he wanted to preserve the old members of the Huai'an Army so that they could be safe.
As for the Shenhou family, it is impossible for all of them to move to the north, so naturally one branch will stay in the court.
As for this group, if they want to have a good relationship with the royal family, the most straightforward way is to get married.
Shen Yi has a total of five children, but now only three are grown up, and one son and one daughter are still too young, while Shen Ji is now fifteen or sixteen years old.
There is no more suitable candidate than him.
Moreover, this was the emperor's legitimate daughter, the daughter of the empress, and Shen Ji was just the concubine of the Shen family. This marriage had already brought a disadvantage to the royal family.
Now that the emperor is willing to take the initiative to bring up this matter, Mr. Shen's refusal is completely disrespectful to the emperor. This is hurtful.
Seeing Shen Yi nodding, the emperor smiled and said: "After the fourth child and Sangsang get married, I will issue an edict to grant them another marriage. The second child in your family..."
"I need to show my identity."
Shen Yi nodded slightly and said, "I will obey His Majesty's orders."
The emperor coughed, took a few quick breaths, and then continued: "Then give him a title, along with Shen Yuan. One of the two brothers will be granted the title of uncle, and the other will be granted the title of lifelong uncle."
The emperor's words were spoken lightly, but Shen Yi knew that he was almost explaining his funeral arrangements.
After all, for many things he wanted to do, he needed to say hello to Shen Yi to avoid complications later.
But later on, the monarch and his ministers may no longer be able to resolve their conflicts through "communication."
Therefore, when it is time to talk things over and say yes, we need to say it now and say yes.
"The Ye family in Fuzhou have put a lot of effort into running errands for me over the years, and they always deserve credit. Using this as an excuse, I would like to raise the mother of the second oldest child in your family and give her a fourth-grade imperial title."
Lu Ruoxi was already a first-grade wife, while Ye Chan was a sixth-grade lady when she entered the Shen family, and now she has been promoted by the emperor.
The emperor closed his eyes and thought about the follow-up arrangements bit by bit. After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Does Shen Qing have any other ideas?"
Shen Yi sighed and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple tomorrow to offer sacrifices to the Imperial Ancestral Temple? You can ask the Prince of Yue or the Prince of Jin to go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices to your ancestors on your behalf."
The emperor's current physical condition can be said to be like a candle in the wind. He met with the ministers today and has already taken medicine. If he goes to the Ancestral Temple tomorrow, he will definitely continue to take medicine. I am afraid that by then, his body will not be able to support it at all. .
"No."
The emperor said silently: "There is not much I can do now. I will try my best to do this last thing well."
"If you do this well, the succession to the throne will be legitimate and reasonable. It will serve as a lesson for Northern Qi..."
"We are all watching."
When Emperor Yongping of the Northern Qi Dynasty passed away, the position of the crown prince was still undecided, which finally caused a sudden change in the palace. It was also in Yanjing City that the war broke out.
And it was this incident that became an opportunity for Shen Yi to launch his Northern Expedition. He used this as a breakthrough, and eventually the gap became wider and wider, and the country was ruined and the family was destroyed.
Shen Yi sighed, knowing that he could not persuade the emperor, so he could only sigh: "Tomorrow, I will go to the Ancestral Temple early in the morning to make arrangements."
"Um."
The emperor's voice was calm: "The fourth child is smart, but after all, he has little experience. Shen Qing will teach him more in the future."
Mr. Shen smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, no one can teach the emperor. Just pointing fingers will make the emperor unhappy."
The emperor smiled and said: "You are now the crown prince and grand master. When you arrive in the new dynasty, you will become the grand master. It is appropriate to give him guidance."
"I will also give him a good explanation and ask you more about everything."
Shen Yi had no choice but to say anything more and could only bow his head silently and salute.
"Your Majesty, have a good rest. I will take my leave first."
"Go, go."
Emperor Hong De sat up, looked at Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "I have lived up to Qing Shen for more than twenty years."
Shen Yi lowered his head silently: "I will not let your Majesty down."
………………
Early the next morning, we went to the main hall of the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
Mr. Shen, who always likes to sleep in, rarely wakes up early.
He even arrived at the Ancestral Temple together with Shen, who was in charge of the ceremony.
After Shen arrived at the Ancestral Temple, he began to prepare for today's ceremony together with the officials of the Ministry of Rites. Meanwhile, Shen Yi found Lu Sheng in the corner and said, "Commander Lu, today is a very important day. Outside the palace, there are many people inside and outside the palace." There are still people from the palace here, so Commander Lu, Eunuch Gao, and Eunuch Xiao need to be extremely careful."
Lu Sheng bowed his head respectfully, cupped his fists and saluted: "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, if anything goes wrong today, I will die to apologize for my derogation."
Shen Yi nodded first, then looked at Lu Sheng and asked, "Has Marshal Lu met with His Highness the Fourth Highness?"
Lu Sheng was stunned, shook his head and said: "Not yet."
"It's okay if you don't have it, otherwise..."
"Your Majesty will be sad."
Lu Sheng lowered his head silently, and then said softly: "In the new dynasty, I don't intend to take charge of the inner guard anymore, so naturally I won't see anyone again."
"As a humble servant, I am ready to go with His Majesty."
Shen Yi shook his head and said: "Commander Lu, if there is a new dynasty, you will have to help the court for at least three to five years."
"As for life and death..."
Shen Yi said softly: "Shuai Lu has worked hard for thirty years and will not come to an end. You can rest assured."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue! Lu Sheng is now sixty years old.
He began to take charge of the internal defense at the age of thirty, and was truly the "King of Intelligence".
You know, Di Newspaper Division has been established for more than 20 years this year, and it is no longer the immature new organization it was at the beginning.
But even the current Di News Department, into which Shen Yi has invested a lot of resources, is still slightly inferior to the internal guards.
This point shows Lu Sheng's business ability.
After Lu Sheng's affairs were arranged, the courtiers arrived one after another.
Mr. Shen stood silently at the gate of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, lost in thought.
After an unknown amount of time, a voice woke him up: "Son..."
Shen Yi turned around and saw Jin King Li Mu and Yue King Li Yu, one behind the other, walking towards him.
Prince Jin looked at Shen Yi with a complicated expression: "Son, Your Majesty, he..."
King Li Yu of Yue hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to greet Shen Yi, and then said: "Master Shen Hou, as a member of the clan, I shouldn't have asked these questions, but now, I can't help but ask Master Hou. "
"My eldest brother..."
Prince Yue also trembled with his hands slightly: "What happened?"
Shen Yi said silently: "I can't say."
He returned the gift with his hands, bowed his head and said: "Two princes, we are all here to watch the ceremony today. The two princes and other clan members must bear witness to your majesty and the court."
"Lest someone with ulterior motives in the future confuse right and wrong."
The two princes looked at each other and returned the favor.
"Don't worry, Prince Shen, we are all here to watch."
Shen Yi nodded silently and sighed: "Okay, I won't talk about other things."
"When the auspicious time comes, the princes will naturally be able to see His Majesty."
After saying this, Shen Yi said nothing more.
Before long, the time was approaching noon.
The fourth prince, Li Jian, appeared in front of everyone again. He glanced at everyone, and then was the first to come to Shen Yi and others, bowing his head and saluting the three of them.
"Greetings to Uncle Jin Wang, greetings to Uncle Huang."
"Meet uncle."
Prince Jin and Prince Yue both bowed and returned the gift, and Shen Yi silently returned the gift.
Jin King Li Mu looked at Li Jian and said: "Your Highness, you have a lot of things to do today, so don't waste time with us. Go to the Ancestral Temple and meet the officials of the Ministry of Rites."
Li Jian bowed his head respectfully: "My nephew, I obey."
After that, he turned and left.
Mr. Shen looked at his back and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Although the Fourth Highness has been well hidden, Shen Yi can still see one of his feet...
Slightly lame.
Although it's just a little bit, most people can't see it without looking carefully, but it's still a little bit there.
Mr. Shen raised his eyebrows, thoughtfully.
While he was thinking about something, His Majesty the Emperor finally arrived. After being helped out of the chariot, he was supported by two palace servants and walked towards the Ancestral Temple.
To go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, you have to climb a staircase. Now this originally not very long staircase made Shen Yi and others frown as they leaned on it.
Anyone can see that the emperor's body...
Somewhat weak.
Jin Wang Li Mu couldn't help but patted Shen Yi on the shoulder and whispered: "Sir, would you like to tell Xiao Shen Shangshu?"
"Let the ceremony end as soon as possible and keep everything simple..."
Mr. Shen looked at the stairs of the Imperial Ancestral Temple and sighed.
"I already explained it before I came here."
He looked at the two princes and said slowly.
"Your Majesty, let's enter the Ancestral Temple together..."
