Chapter 773: Zhao Shen summoned, things changed
In recent days, Shen Tang has not been idle! Zhao Shen has promised to hand over Chengdu Mansion to him, but at the same time, he also told him the difficulties involved.
Although he knew that it was not difficult to take this step, Shen Tang certainly would not give up.
The secret conversation with Zhang Jun went very smoothly! Zhang Jun is also willing to fully support Shen Tang in going to Chengdu!
Today's Shen Tang does not lack achievements, but what he lacks is experience and qualifications.
If you can take advantage of this opportunity to go to Chengdu Prefecture, it will be an excellent platform. With qualifications, it will be smoother for Shen Tang to set foot in the court in the future! Moreover, Zhang Jun also believes that Shen Tang can achieve success in Chengdu Prefecture. More results.
Although the communication with Shi Hao is not as good as Zhang Jun, fortunately, the two of them have a close relationship.
Moreover, Shen Tang also felt some kindness towards Shi Hao due to some things that happened back then.
Therefore, although Shi Hao did not directly promise Shen Tang, he would also help Shen Tang to push the situation forward.
With the help of these two people, Shen Tang felt much more confident.
Next, while trying to find a way to persuade the officials, the matter is basically close to the mark.
However, just when Shen Tang was thinking about how to persuade the officials, word came out from the palace that Zhao Shen was going to summon Shen Tang...
"Thank you, Lord King!"
Under the guidance of Wang Quan, Shen Tang entered the palace.
The two of them walked forward, one behind the other, in the direction of Qinzheng Hall.
"Sir Wang, I don't know if your Majesty summoned you this time, but what's the matter?"
Shen Tang asked in a low voice!
Wang Quan, who was leading the way, had no change in his expression, and even his steps did not stop.
However, the soft voice of words reached Shen Tang's ears.
"Master Shen, yesterday, His Majesty the Supreme Emperor came to the Qinzheng Hall to meet with His Majesty in person! Moreover, I heard that three days ago, Lord Zhu Zhuo entered the palace alone and met with the Supreme Emperor!"
The words stopped suddenly, as if they had never happened.
However, Shen Tang, who was behind Wang Quan, felt his heart suddenly sink!
Although Wang Quan did not say more, the news revealed was already extremely shocking.
Speaking of which, I have really never met this already idle Quanquan.
However, the relationship between the two is very obvious.
Wang Quan's words are definitely not idle talk. In other words, Zhu Zhuo's visit to the palace to meet Zhao Gou must have something to do with him.
In addition, the Supreme Emperor unexpectedly came to the Qinzheng Palace to meet Zhao Shen in person, so the meaning was very clear. Zhao Shen summoning him this time was definitely not good news.
"call!"
Shen Tang took a deep breath, and the expression on his face returned to normal, but he was still thinking about countermeasures in his mind.
Not long after, the two came outside the Qinzheng Hall!
"Master Shen, later!"
Wang Quan stepped into the hall, but soon turned around and came out, "Master Shen, your Majesty has summoned you!"
Shen Tang bowed slightly and then entered the main hall.
"My lord, Shen Tang, see your majesty!"
"Oh... Shen Tang is here?
King Quan, why don’t you give me a seat quickly?”
Zhao Shen threw aside the memorial in his hand, and his attitude towards Shen Tang was still as enthusiastic as before.
However, Shen Tang felt something strange from this trace of enthusiasm.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Sitting on the Jindun, Shen Tang waited for Zhao Shen to speak.
"Shen Tang, the generals in Chengdu should be arriving soon!"
Zhao Shen smiled.
"Your Majesty, in accordance with His Majesty's decree, except for some of the generals who are staying in Chengdu Mansion, other generals above the Yajiang are already on their way back. It is expected that they will arrive in Lin'an in two or three days!"
Shen Tang responded respectfully.
"Um!"
Zhao Shen nodded, "You all have made great contributions to the imperial court. Recently, I have also been thinking about rewards.
It’s basically settled now, don’t worry, the imperial court won’t treat you people badly!”
"My lord, thank you for your kindness!"
"It doesn't have to be like this. Rewards and punishments are clear. This is what I should do!"
"Shen Tang, I have given you a marriage proposal, what's going on now?
If I let you stay in Lin'an, then Mr. Shao won't have any objections!"
"Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty! I am your Majesty's minister first, and then the son-in-law of the Shao family. Both I and Mr. Shao understand this! Besides, Your Majesty has sent someone from the Ministry of Rites to go there. I and the Shao family are only grateful to Your Majesty. , how can you even complain at all?"
"Hahaha!"
Zhao Shen laughed when he heard this, "If our Song Dynasty court is full of loyal and patriotic people like Shen Aiqing, why should our Song Dynasty not be able to prosper?"
The two of them asked questions and answered each other, talking about trivial matters for a while, and then Zhao Shen suddenly said, "Shen Tang, I promised you before that after your wedding, you would go to Chengdu Fulu to take charge.
However, now it seems that I owed some thought!"
"You are newly married to the daughter of the Shao family. If I let you go away just like that, I would be a little too harsh.
Moreover, I am afraid that the Shao family will also complain about me.
In addition, I also heard that although you already have two beautiful wives, you still have no children.
Speaking of which, it’s still my fault.”
"It has only been about two years since you set foot in the court.
However, we first went to the Kingdom of Jin, and this time we spent more than half a year fighting in Chengdu. Although you are my subject, you are also the head of the family! If you are often away from home, I am afraid there will be some gossip at home."
"Therefore, I have thought about it for a long time. Although Chengdu Prefecture is important, I cannot be an unscrupulous king.
Therefore, you put off going to Chengdu for now and take some time off at home, what do you think?"
Zhao Shen said with a kind face.
As soon as Zhao Shen opened his mouth, Shen Tang understood in his heart! Zhu Zhuo had persuaded the Supreme Emperor, but the Supreme Emperor obviously did not have a good impression of him.
Therefore, he personally put pressure on Zhao Shen and made Zhao Shen change his mind.
The so-called newly married or childless are just excuses.
Shen Tang could understand Zhao Shen, but he still felt a little depressed in his heart! Although he did not dare to claim to be a good person, he had worked hard for the Song Dynasty, but now that he had received such a result, how could he not be discouraged?
Although his mind was spinning a thousand times, there was no expression on Shen Tang's face.
After Zhao Shen finished speaking, Shen Tang stood up and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty, sir!"
Since Zhao Shen has said this, he has naturally made a decision. Therefore, it is simply unrealistic to ask Zhao Shen to change his mind now, and it will also appear that he is irrational.
"Hahaha!"
Zhao Shen laughed loudly, "You are my subject, and even more so my right-hand man! I have this country, but I still need you to help me.
So, you have some leisure time at home, but you can't slack off.
Soon, I will entrust you with important responsibilities!"
