When Shen Yi left the imperial city, it was only close to noon.
The emperor did not stay for dinner.
Shen Yi himself had no intention of staying in the palace to eat.
In just one morning, he had consumed a lot of energy, and he no longer had the energy to stay in the palace and talk to the emperor.
Yes, talking to the emperor also requires a lot of energy.
Because when talking to this big boss, you need to think about every sentence, every word, and even the tone, demeanor, and movements of the words. You cannot just open your mouth, otherwise problems will easily occur.
After walking out of the imperial city, Shen Yi was too lazy to even walk. He waved to a cart on the roadside, and then drove the cart back home. After returning home, he first looked at his wife and children, and then After eating a few bites of rice, I lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up, it was almost evening.
After he woke up, he saw his wife sitting beside his bed. Seeing that he had woken up, Lu Ruoxi sat beside the bed, looked at Shen Yi's eyes that were still a little red because he had just woken up, and asked, "Husband, , but what happened?"
Shen Yi shook his head slightly and forced a smile on his face: "If nothing happens, what can happen to me?"
Lu Ruoxi sighed slightly and said, "Senior Brother Zhang arrived not long after dinner. Now he is sitting in the living room at home and has been waiting for you for almost an hour."
After Shen Yi heard this, he quickly sat up and while putting on his clothes, he said, "Senior Brother Yi An is here, why didn't you wake me up?"
"I went to serve tea."
While helping Shen Yi sort out his clothes, Lu Ruoxi said, "Senior Brother Zhang heard that you were asleep, so he didn't let me wake you up. He told you to take a rest and he would wait for you."
"Now my father is talking to him over there."
While talking, Shen Yi was already dressed. He put on some clothes casually and got up to see Zhang Jian.
Lu Ruoxi held him back and said softly: "Husband, it's better to get dressed before going, so as not to be rude."
Shen Yi turned around and blinked at Lu Ruoxi, smiling and saying, "I've been waiting for an hour. It would be rude to get dressed at this time."
After that, he patted the back of Lu Ruoxi's hand and walked directly to the living room. In the main hall of the living room, Mr. Lu, dressed in blue cloth, was sitting at the main seat, and Zhang Jian was sitting under him. The two seemed to be talking about something. Regarding academic issues, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Shen Yi walked over, first bowed his hands to Mr. Lu and called him father-in-law, then turned to Zhang Jian and bowed his hands, and said, "Senior brother, I have kept you waiting for a long time. My family should wake me up."
Zhang Jian also stood up, looked at Shen Yi sitting down, shook his head and said, "Zi Heng, you should take a good rest."
Master Lu sat on the main seat and glanced at the two nephews. Then he sat up from the main seat and said with a smile: "You two brothers should have something to discuss, so I won't delay you here."
Zhang Jian and Shen Yi sent him out of the living room together. When they were sent to the door of the living room, Zhang Jian smiled at Mr. Lu and said: "Two days ago, my nephew went to see his teacher. The teacher said that in two days of Laba, there would be a banquet at home. , let the uncle’s family and Zi Heng’s family go.”….
"Uncle, don't forget to show your support."
Lu Anshi smiled and said, "Okay, then I will go to Brother Changping's house to have a meal."
As he spoke, the little old man turned around and left, returning to the study to read and annotate.
After Master Lu left, the two brothers returned to the living room. Zhang Jian lowered his head and took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "It seems that Master Lu's weakness lies in Junior Sister Qingque. In the past few years, Master Zhao invited him twice a year." He has been invited to Beijing for seven or eight years, and now he has come to Jiankang twice in the past two years."
Shen Yi shook his head helplessly: "His old man is unwilling to stay in Jiankang. He originally said that he would go back to Jiangdu after the child is one month old. After hard talk, we persuaded him to go back after celebrating the New Year in Jiankang."
After the two junior brothers said something about Lu Anshi, Zhang Jian lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then took a deep look at Shen Yi
, took a deep breath: "Zi Heng, you were in the palace this morning..."
"Did something happen?"
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Senior brother is really well-informed."
"I must be well-informed."
Zhang Jian said hoarsely: "If you fart in the palace, it will make a loud noise outside. Except for the people of the Tian family who talk behind closed doors, no one can hide the matters in the palace as long as they are outside."
"It is said that...many palace maids and eunuchs saw His Majesty rushing to the Queen Mother's Kunde Palace on foot today..."
After hearing Zhang Jian's words, Shen Yi hung the tea cup in his hand, thoughtfully.
He originally thought that the reason why the emperor went to Kunde Palace to quarrel with the Queen Mother today was mostly out of temporary anger. Even if there was an element of calculation in it, it wouldn't be too much.
And now according to Zhang Jian’s words…
The fact that the emperor walked to Kunde Palace in anger has now spread not only throughout Jiankang, but at least throughout Jiankang's upper circles.
In other words, the emperor's attitude towards Kunde Palace has actually been announced.
If in the next few days, the emperor does not receive "retaliation" from Kunde Palace and does not submit to Kunde Palace, then the high-ranking officials and nobles in the upper circles of Jiankang City will actually be able to start from today. There are some clues in this incident.
So…
Everyone will also understand whether the Queen Mother or the Emperor is in charge of this family.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi thought of His Majesty the Emperor who was so angry that his face turned red in Deqing Palace in the morning.
A chill flashed through his heart.
If the emperor really had already calculated the reaction of the upper class circles in Jiankang City before going to Kunde Palace, then this emperor who is the same age as himself...
The city is already quite deep.
At least...he is very suitable to be an emperor.
Seeing that Shen Yi was deep in thought, Zhang Jian looked up at Shen Yi with a strange look.
He whispered: "The eunuchs also saw that His Majesty pulled Zi Heng's sleeve out of Deqing Palace, and then Ziheng, you followed His Majesty and went to Kunde Palace together."
Having said this, Zhang Jian lowered his head and took a sip of tea: "Of course, no one knows what happened after entering Kunde Palace, and no one dares to tell it."
He looked at Shen Yi and asked with a smile: "The news I received in the afternoon made me feel so itchy that I simply came to your house to look for you in the afternoon."
Zhang Sicheng blinked at Chief Shen and asked with a smile, "Can you tell me?"
Shen Yi shook his head: "It's not convenient to say."
Zhang Jian smiled and said, "Then I won't ask."
"The main reason I came here today is not to ask you this."
Zhang Yian lowered his head and took a sip of tea and said softly: "I came today mainly because I am worried that Zi Heng will get you caught in the conflict between the Queen Mother and Your Majesty. With your current weight, it will be difficult for you to get out of this conflict."
"Brother, I have something I want to say to you."
Zhang Jian said earnestly: "As ministers, it is best for us to be clean ministers. We should not get involved in the royal family affairs at all. Once we get involved, it is a question of whether we can get out of it." .”
"And if you mix it in, there may not be any benefits..."
Damn...
Mr. Shen cursed mother in his heart.
As if I wanted to get involved!
He sighed helplessly.
"Brother, let's not talk about this for now."
"It's almost evening now. We won't eat at home tonight. We brothers will go out to find a restaurant."
Mr. Shen patted his chest.
"Have a drink with my little brother."
