This is one of the problems left by the late emperor.
Although the late Emperor was not a workaholic, the things he had done in the past few years, especially in the past twenty years, were indeed things that only a workaholic could do.
So much so that the current Zhongshu has become accustomed to sending a copy to the emperor for matters involving rank five or above.
This huge workload caught Emperor Jianlong, a novice emperor, a little off guard.
He pulled Shen Yi to sit down and sighed: "Now I know how hard my father has been for these years, and I don't know how he survived."
Mr. Shen lowered his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty may not know that when the late emperor first ascended the throne, the court...it was not the late emperor who had the final say."
"Later, in the second year after the late emperor took office, he experienced a great defeat. At that time, the imperial court had no fighting spirit internally, and it continued to suffer external defeats. Japanese pirates were rampant along the southeast coast, which could be said to be a source of internal and external troubles. If one were not careful, the country would be destroyed. The fate of a broken family."
"At that time, the late emperor did not dare to slack off at all. He could only work hard at night and day, and be diligent in political affairs. As for later..."
Shen sighed and did not continue.
After he defeated the capital of Yan, the court had no immediate worries and long-term concerns. Logically speaking, Emperor Hongde had been fighting for so many years and it was time to enjoy it. However, after the world was unified, Emperor Hongde was still diligent. Although he is in charge of politics, he is probably tired of his "false reputation".
In the early years, someone Shen drew a big cake with the word "Shizu" for him, which made the emperor never slack off in his life, starting from beginning to end.
However, there is definitely no way to tell this second half in front of someone's son. After all, in doing things in this world, one does not care about one's deeds but one's heart. Emperor Hongde started from beginning to end, so he was naturally a sage from the inside out.
"As for later, I couldn't bear to see the country that the soldiers fought so hard to conquer was left without a trace."
"It's really difficult for my father's generation."
The emperor sighed and said: "If I were put in his position, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hold it any longer."
After the two chatted for a while, Emperor Jianlong smiled at Shen Yi and said: "Father-in-law, my brother-in-law is working in the north now, but my brother-in-law has nothing to do at home. I am thinking about whether to arrange a job for him. Let him also help me."
Mr. Shen was startled for a moment before he realized that he was talking about Shen Ji and asked, "How will your Majesty arrange for him?"
"I have two ideas."
"The first is to ask him to take up a post in the Ministry of Industry. He will start as a Yuanwai Lang and become familiar with the affairs of the DPRK."
"The second one..."
He looked at Shen Yi and said softly: "Ask him to go to Di and report to the company as an errand."
"Father-in-law, what do you think?"
Mr. Shen looked calm: "I will obey His Majesty's arrangements."
The emperor nodded first, and then continued: "My father has just passed away, so it is not suitable to get married within a year. The marriage that my father originally promised was scheduled for one year later. I will personally arrange the marriage between Shen Ji and my sister." ,how?"
Mr. Shen had no objection and nodded in agreement.
Emperor Jianlong pulled Shen Yi and chatted for a while, then suddenly lowered his voice and said, "There is one more thing I want to ask my father-in-law."
Shen Yi lowered his head slightly: "Your Majesty just said so."
"Sun family..."
The new emperor whispered: "How to deal with the Sun family..."
"Just take it easy."
Shen said: "His Majesty has only been on the throne for a while, so he has to wait for some time before he can do these things. As for the future, it depends on whether the Sun family knows how to restrain themselves."
"I understand."
The emperor sighed and said, "There are too many things to think about every day."
"Also, my biological mother is still here. Father-in-law, you see..."
"Only two queen mothers can coexist."
"good."
The emperor looked at Shen Yi, lowered his head slightly and said, "Thank you, father-in-law, for your help. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do now."
Shen Yi shook his head slightly and did not answer. Instead, he asked: "Your Majesty's mother clan..."
Emperor Jianlong said silently: "I have never seen him since I was a child."
"Become a count and reward me with some money and gifts."
He looked at Shen Yi and said, "Don't worry, I will make them restrain themselves and they will not become the second Sun family."
"This is His Majesty's family matter, I will not interfere with it."
Having said this, Shen Yi paused and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to meet the Queen."
The emperor quickly said: "I will take my father-in-law to see the queen."
Mr. Shen shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I can just meet you in the side hall."
The emperor had no choice but to nod and ask someone to invite Queen Shen to come over. He himself talked with Shen Yi. After the tea time, Queen Shen came to the side hall of Ganlu Palace with the support of the palace servants. She trotted quickly Come over, with tears in the corners of your eyes: "Dad..."
Mr. Shen did not salute, but just looked at his daughter's face. After a moment, he sighed: "It's been two months, and I haven't said a trip home."
Empress Shen wiped her tears and said, "Father, you don't know that after the death of the late Emperor, there were too many things in the palace. If it weren't for the help of mother...the Queen Mother, my daughter wouldn't know what to do."
Mr. Shen smiled at her and said, "When you have free time, go home often. Your mother misses you very much, and your brothers and sisters also miss you."
"good."
Queen Shen wiped her tears and said with a smile: "My daughter also misses them very much."
"There are many things in the palace and many rules."
Mr. Shen said silently: "Stop your temper, it's not your home anymore."
"Um."
Empress Shen smiled and said: "You are so powerful that no one dares to bully your daughter anywhere. The Queen Mother is always polite to her."

Lord Shen hesitated to speak, and then said silently: "If you are wronged, go home."
"Dad can still protect you."
"good."
Queen Shen nodded obediently, pulled Shen Yi's sleeves, and said coquettishly: "Dad is the best to me."
………………
A few more days passed, and when Lord Shen was busy sorting out the military situation in Liaodong, someone came to see him.
Soon, Jiang Sheng invited the guests into Lord Shen's study. Lord Shen looked up and stood up slowly: "Commander Lu is here."
Lu Sheng of the inner guard.
Lu Sheng bowed to Shen Yi and said, "Master Hou, Mr. Lu is here to say goodbye to you."
Shen Yi walked up to him, looked at him, frowned and said, "Where are you going, Commander Lu?"
"Go back to Jiankang."
A smile appeared on Lu Sheng's face: "Lu was born in Jiankang and grew up in Jiankang. He has been working for the imperial court for thirty years. Now he is finally able to return home. Naturally, he wants to go back to his hometown and spend the rest of his life in peace."
The head of the inner guard, who has been in charge of the inner guard for more than 20 years, has changed from a head full of black hair to pale hair.
Lord Shen frowned and said, "Your Majesty is so anxious..."
"No need to worry."
Lu Sheng smiled calmly: "After the late emperor ascended the throne, he was also eager to take over the internal defense. At that time, the late emperor had not yet taken charge, and he was already in charge of the internal defense."
"Now that I am an adult heir to the throne, it would not be surprising if it goes faster."
Shen Yi nodded silently and asked, "What are Lu Shuai's plans after returning to his hometown?"
"My children and grandchildren are all in Jiankang. At my age, what else can I do? After I go back, I will go fishing and farm."
"Live the rest of your life in peace."
Mr. Shen frowned and said, "Shuai Lu has worked hard for thirty years, and your Majesty has no reward?"
"Of course I do. I gave Lu a big house as a reward."
Lu Sheng smiled from the bottom of his heart.
"I'm already very content."
Shen Yi sighed and said, "Shuai Lu has been guarding the interior for thirty years. He may have offended many people in secret. After returning home, you must be careful."
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis."
Lu Sheng lowered his head and said: "At my age, I am no longer scary. Besides, they may not be able to find me."
After Shen Yi thought about it for a while, he turned around and walked to his desk, wrote down two names with a pen, stamped his private seal, and said: "This is the person in charge of the Jiankang Di Reporting Department. If something happens, Lu Shuai went to them and mentioned my name."
Lu Sheng took it with both hands and bowed his head deeply.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis."
"We're old acquaintances, no need to be polite."
Mr. Shen sighed: "When will Marshal Lu leave? I'll see him off as a gift."
"We'll leave in a moment."
He lowered his head to Shen Yi and said: "Don't dare to trouble Mr. Hou. If Mr. Hou goes, it will be impossible for Lu to leave Yanjing quietly."
Mr. Shen was thoughtful, then nodded and said, "That's good."
He cupped his hands and saluted and said: "Dachen has been prosperous for more than 20 years, and Commander Lu has contributed a lot to it. The mountains are high and the road is long, so take care of yourself along the way."
Lu Sheng bowed and returned the courtesy: "Master Hou, take care of yourself too."
Lord Shen looked at him and smiled.
"After a few years, I will have some free time and go have a drink with Lu Shuai."
"good."
Lu Sheng grinned.
"I'm waiting for Mr. Hou."
After that, he turned and left.
Mr. Shen stood at the door, looking at Lu Sheng's slightly forlorn back as he gradually walked away, and sighed slightly.
