Chapter 1327: Zhao Su is respectful, Zhao Ling is worried
Chapter 1327: Zhao Ming shows respect, but Zhao Ling is worried
"Although Shen Tang is young, he is capable in both civil and military affairs, and his status in His Majesty's heart is very important.
Nowadays, although Shen Tang is far away in the north, his influence is still great. When he returns to the Song Dynasty, he will still be an important minister in His Majesty's heart.
After more than ten years, what will be the power and status of Shen Tang?"
"What's more, His Majesty attaches far more importance to Shen Tang. His words by His Majesty's side can even change His Majesty's mind!"
"Besides, your Highness, please don't forget that besides Shen Tang, there is also Princess Guangling in Shangjing City! The princess's status in Your Majesty's heart should not need to be said."
"It is indeed risky for His Highness to go to the North this time, but it is precisely because of this that he can leave a trace of love in front of Shen Tang and the Princess! And this love may become His Highness's in the future. of help.”
Zhao Ming understood, so he no longer hesitated and led a small group of personal guards to follow the Shao family's caravan all the way north and come to the capital to invite him to the palace.
As for his politeness and respect to Shen Tang and Zhao Ling, it was for the same reason! To put it bluntly, unless Zhao Ming really stepped onto the throne one day, otherwise, he would not have the ability to be arrogant in front of Shen Tang and Zhao Ling. .
Zhao Ming is not a fool, but he is just more respectful. What has he lost?
If you can gain the favor of Shen Tang and Zhao Ling, it will be a huge profit.
Furthermore, we are not in the Song Dynasty now, but in the Jin Kingdom.
As the crown prince of the Song Dynasty, his weight is far inferior to that of Shen Tang!
Therefore, when he saw Shen Tang and the others saluting, he quickly returned the salute.
"Your Highness is the king, and Shen Tang is for the people, so you should salute him!"
Shen Tang said lightly, but Zhao Ling didn't speak at all, just stood aside holding Shen Tang's arm.
Zhao Ming also didn't mention the intimacy between Zhao Ling and Shen Tang. Even his father didn't say anything about this matter. Why should he be a bad guy here?
After a few polite words, the three of them sat down!
Then, Shen Tang took the initiative and said, "Your Highness has an extraordinary status and should not come to the north to go to Beijing! If His Highness makes a mistake, it will be Shen Tang's fault!"
Zhao Su smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Master Shen, if it weren't for the inconvenience of the father to come, the person sitting here now would not be the lonely king, but the father!"
"The reason why the lonely king came here this time is to ask Mr. Shen to return to our Song Dynasty on the order of the father! Moreover, the father and his aunt have not seen each other for a long time, and they miss him very much!"
"Brother Emperor...are you okay?"
Zhao Ling pursed her lips and couldn't help but speak.
Zhao Shen and Zhao Ling, the brother and sister, are much closer than other brothers and sisters in the royal family. Not only does Zhao Shen cherish Zhao Ling very much, but also towards his imperial brother, although his words are often ridiculing in daily life, he also feels the same in his heart. miss.
Therefore, when she heard Zhao Xu speak, she couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Sui sighed, "Auntie, you should also know that Mr. Shen is both civil and military. Therefore, since Mr. Shen became an official, my father is indeed very happy! Mr. Shen has made great contributions to the court in the south and north, and has made great contributions to the court. Being above the imperial court, it is naturally much easier."
"But... since Mr. Shen went north, my father was worried about my aunt and Mr. Shen, and secondly, the affairs of the country were complicated and many things went wrong! It is inevitable that he would be in a bad mood!"
"The lonely king dare not deceive my aunt and Master Shen. The reason why I came to invite Master Shen this time is not only because I miss my father, but also because the Song Dynasty is in danger now!"
"Master Shen should know that our Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom fought in Fengxiang Mansion! However, they were not strong enough. Not long ago, our Song Dynasty was defeated miserably in the battle of Fengxiang Mansion! More than half of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were injured, and the coach Wu Lin fell into a coma. Wake up! Fortunately, my father invited Prime Minister Zhang, who gathered the remaining troops and stabilized the situation with the help of Chengdu troops and horses. However, the remaining troops and horses that originally went north can only return to Lizhou."
"Although the Jin Kingdom's West Route Army also suffered heavy losses, its strength is still there, and troops from many places in Henan and Hebei have gradually gathered in Fengxiang Mansion. Once an attack is launched, no one has any confidence whether Lizhou can stop it.
In addition, there are nearly 100,000 troops approaching Xiangyang City! The general of Xiangyang City has asked the imperial court to send reinforcements several times..."
"Nowadays, our strength is no match for the Kingdom of Jin. Once a full-scale war actually breaks out, the consequences will be unpredictable.
Therefore, my father asked me to come and invite Master Shen to resolve this crisis!"
Having said this, Zhao Yan stood up and bowed respectfully towards Shen Tang, "Master Shen, my father asked me to tell you personally. He said that he feels a lot of guilt for you. Master Shen has made countless contributions, but the imperial court has treated you several times. Unfair! However, my father wants Master Shen to return to the Song Dynasty to help the Song Dynasty resolve this crisis out of gratitude to the emperor and his ministers!"
Shen Tang stood up to avoid Zhao Mei's salute, but did not answer in a hurry.
After thinking for a moment, he slowly said, "Your Highness, there is no need to be so polite!"
After a pause, he said again, "Although the upper capital is located in the Kingdom of Jin, this house is considered safe. Therefore, Your Highness, why not stay here temporarily, wait for me to think about it, and then reply to Your Highness!"
When Zhao Wei heard this, there was no disappointment on his face, he just nodded slightly, "That's fine, then the lonely king will nag Mr. Shen."
Shen Tang found a trusted servant and let Zhao Ling live in the house. After that, without much conversation, he led Zhao Ling towards the house.
"Brother Shen Tang, do you want to go back?"
Zhao Ling asked in a low voice!
In fact, Zhao Ling did not want to influence Shen Tang's judgment, but when she heard Zhao Wei's words, she couldn't help but feel worried! Nowadays, the borders of the Song Dynasty are uneasy, and even Zhao Shen cannot feel at ease. How can she not feel worried? ?
Shen Tang smiled softly, then reached out and gently held Zhao Ling in his arms, "Don't worry, we will naturally go back. Moreover, if we don't go back, how can I propose marriage to His Majesty and let him marry you? A princess will marry me!"
When Zhao Ling heard this, his eyes showed joy and shame!
"Brother Shen Tang, thank you..."
When Shen Tang and others returned to the room, they saw the girls waiting. The girls naturally knew the importance of Shen Tang's visit, so although they did not follow him, they could not help but feel worried.
"Husband, how are you?"
Seeing Shen Tang return, Xiang Ling couldn't help but ask!
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious!"
Shen Tang said with a smile, "However, I'm afraid we have to prepare to return to the Song Dynasty! Before, my husband also promised that you would go to Huli to see the real thousands-mile frozen scene. This time, I'm afraid there is no chance..."
"Since my husband said we want to go back, then we will go back! No matter what, we can do it again next time we have a chance!"
