His Majesty the Emperor seemed very satisfied with Shen Yi's answer. He looked at Shen Yi with a smile and said with a smile: "If they are willing to throw their children and grandchildren on the battlefield, then they don't have to follow your path, Shen Ziheng."
"But don't worry, I will help you with the matters in the court. You just have to fight on the front line with peace of mind. If someone wants to cause trouble for you in the court, I will be the first to refuse."
Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and bowed: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's high expectations and protect the country and the people for Da Chen."
A smile appeared on the emperor's face. After thinking for a while, he continued: "There is one more thing. I want to ask Shen Qing for your opinion."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
The emperor touched the beard on his chin, looked at Shen Yi, and said softly: "Years ago, the Tatars in the north sent me a letter..."
The Emperor's face was calm. He looked at Shen Yi and said, "They want to form an alliance with me. Once the Emperor of Northern Qi dies, they can join forces with Da Chen to attack Qi."
When Shen Yi heard this, he frowned.
He lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head to look at the emperor, and shook his head slowly: "Your Majesty, Zhu Li is really a foreign race, and so are the Tatars, and the harm may be even worse than Zhu Li's. Zhu Li has been in the customs for more than sixty years, and now there are no
So fierce before..."
"At least we know each other well."
"If the real Zhu Li is gone and the more ferocious Tatars are ushered in, then the pressure on the Chen court will immediately increase!"

The emperor squinted his eyes and looked at Shen Yi. After a moment, he slowly said: "But Zhongshu Wuxiang, everyone is very happy."
"After receiving this letter last year, they prepared to send envoys to Tatar to discuss the matter in detail with the Tatars and conclude an alliance."
His Majesty the Emperor exhaled a deep breath and said: "My prime ministers feel that a great opportunity to restore their homeland and return to the old capital is finally presented to the court."
Mr. Shen had no expression on his face and sneered: "What about after the fall of the Northern Qi? How should the territory of the Northern Qi be divided? Now the territory of Beiqi is almost all my hometown of Dachen. After conquering the Northern Qi, do we have to give half of it to the Tatars?"
"Give half to them, Yandu will be divided!"
Shen Yi sounded a little angry: "Besides, if you give them half, will they be satisfied?"
His Majesty the Emperor smiled at Shen Yi and said, "So I suppressed this matter. So far, only I and a few Zhongshu Prime Ministers..."
After saying that, he looked at Shen Yi and smiled: "And Shen Qing, you know."
"Honestly, I..."
His Majesty the Emperor said quietly: "I am very moved."
There is no way, no one would be unmoved by this kind of thing.
It has been more than 60 years since the loss of half of Dachen. Over the past 60 years, all the emperors have thought about returning the old capital. If it can be done in the hands of the current Emperor Hongde, even if it costs some money, it will be a real success.
The name is passed down through the ages!
When the time comes, when Emperor Hongde suddenly disappears, future emperors will not be allowed to give him the posthumous title of "Shizu"?
You know, the emperor values his posthumous reputation the most.
Because they have already taken everything they have in front of them, and the only things left to pursue are reputation after death and evaluation in history books.
His Majesty the Emperor stood up, stretched out, then narrowed his eyes and said, "After all, I have a blood feud with Beiqi."
When today's family was crossing to the south, many royal families were lost in the north and fell into the hands of the Qi people. These royal families...
Naturally, the outcome will not be too good.
Especially those princesses and emperors, they are really miserable.
Shen Yi has read "Yan Wen Lu", and naturally His Majesty the Emperor has also read it. These are the hatreds engraved in the bones. No emperor wants to avenge the blood feud sixty years ago.
Having said this, His Majesty the Emperor sighed quietly and said: "But I know very well in my heart that this will not work. Not to mention whether the Tatars will abide by their agreement, even if they abide by their agreement, they will really capture the Northern Qi Dynasty.
, and there is no way to sit down with the Tatars and divide the land.”
"It's inevitable, it's another big battle."
The emperor frowned and said, "So I am going to put this matter on hold for further discussion."
"I have to think about it carefully."
Having said this, he looked at Shen Yi and said, "Shen Qing, you must fight better in Huai'an."
He lowered his eyebrows and said: "The better you fight, the more confident I will be able to speak. I want to show those old men that Da Chen can restore his homeland without relying on foreigners!"
Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, he really wanted to tell the story of the Song Dynasty to the emperor in front of him.
But there is no basis for saying this, and it is useless to say it.
Fortunately, the young Emperor is still calm and did not really accept this matter. Otherwise, as Shen Yi got to where he is today step by step, his layout would be completely disrupted, and everything might have to be arranged from scratch.
Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said, "Yes, I will try my best to do my job well!"
The emperor waved his hand and said with a smile: "By the way, Shen Qing, Shaoxing has brought in some old wine that is more than 30 years old. I asked the imperial kitchen to add some nourishing herbs and brew it with brown sugar. It is very beneficial to drink it in winter. You
Go to the side hall, and I will ask someone to serve you a bowl. You can drink it before going back, so that you can keep out the cold."
This was considered a reward from the emperor, so Shen Yi could only bow his head in agreement, and then followed the eunuch Lianghua in the palace to sit down in the side hall.
After arriving at the side hall, Eunuch Liang lowered his head slightly and said, "Mr. Shen, please wait a moment. I'll serve it to you when it's hot."
Shen Yi quickly nodded in agreement.
After Lianghua retreated, Mr. Shen closed his eyes and rested in the side hall of Ganlu Hall. After waiting for a while, he suddenly smelled the aroma of wine, and then a woman's voice came: "Mr. Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time.
"
This woman's voice was quiet, but extremely familiar.
Shen Yi suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at the woman. Then he quickly stood up and bowed: "I, Chen Yi, have met Concubine Hui!"
After saluting, he turned around and left the side hall.
Just kidding, if you are alone with the concubines in the harem, you will lose your head!
Concubine Hui looked at Shen Yi quietly and sighed slightly: "Master Shen is still so cautious."
Shen Yi turned around and left without looking back.
Concubine Hui said softly: "I begged your majesty for a long time before your majesty allowed me to talk to Mr. Shen. Don't worry, Mr. Shen. It only takes a few words for me to go to your majesty."
Shen Yi stopped, closed his eyes, and did not look back.
Concubine Hui was tall. She stood behind Shen Yi. After being silent for a while, she said, "Master Shen, I can only enter the palace because of him. Now that my mother and son are in the palace, they are in danger. Master Shen cannot turn a blind eye."
Shen Yi frowned.
Why are you still relying on yourself?
He said slowly: "Your Majesty, before I entered the palace, I told your Majesty that after entering the palace, misfortune and fortune will depend on God. I am a foreign minister and I will never dare to interfere with the affairs of the inner court."
"Young Master Shen doesn't need to take care of the affairs of the inner palace."
Concubine Hui lowered her head slightly and gritted her teeth: "Mr. Shen, I want the emperor to make a marriage contract with the daughter of the young master's family..."
"My son will at least be a prince in the future and will not disgrace the lintel of the young master's family..."
Shen Yi was silent for a while and slowly shook his head: "Mother, my daughter was born today. I cannot decide today who she will marry and what kind of life she will live based on my own interests."
"If she grows up in the future and likes the emperor's eldest son, and the emperor's eldest son also likes her, I will have no objection to their marriage. As for now..."
Shen Yi shook his head decisively: "I am not willing to make this kind of engagement."
Concubine Hui looked at Shen Yi's back quietly and said, "Mr. Shen, in this world, how can a daughter's family be able to control themselves?"
"Since ancient times, it has been the order of parents and the words of matchmakers."
"I don't care about other people's daughters, but the daughters of my family..."
"It cannot be said that it is entirely up to her, but as long as her husband is in the eyes of her ministers, it will be up to her to choose."
Having said this, Shen Yi paused and said, "My dear, the foreign minister and the noble concubine cannot be alone together. I have offended you..."
After saying that, Master Shen strode towards the door with his hands behind his back.
No one dared to stop him and allowed him to leave the Manna Hall.
Not long after Mr. Shen left, His Majesty the Emperor appeared beside Concubine Hui. He took Concubine Hui's hand and said with a smile: "I told you, Shen Qi is quite weird.
We cannot rush our marriage, it will have to be discussed in the future."
"Wang'er is only three years old. His daughter has just been born. It's not good to be too impatient."
Concubine Hui leaned against His Majesty the Emperor and shed tears involuntarily. She wiped her tears with her sleeves and looked at Shen Yi's leaving figure with a faint tone.
"To put it bluntly, I just dislike Wang'er as a commoner. If..."
Hearing her words, the emperor frowned slightly and shook his head.
"Okay, don't say such things..."
"If someone listens to such words, it will hurt you, mother and son, and Shen Qi..."
The emperor patted Concubine Hui gently on the back.
