Chapter 774: Shen Tang responds, Zhang Jun comes at night
"Thank you, Your Majesty! It is my duty to serve Your Majesty! When Your Majesty calls you, I will fight to the death to return to my life.
Although I am not as good as my colleagues in the court, I am still willing to die to serve the country!"
"His Majesty has issued an order. I can go to Zhongdu to confront the Golden Emperor naked, and I can lead my troops to Chengdu to fight Tibet to the death! I will have no regrets in serving your Majesty!"
"I was born in the wilderness. Fortunately, I was trusted by your majesty and was selected as the number one scholar! I even gained your majesty's favor and was able to lead the army in person.
Although I have a small amount of merit, all the merits come from Your Majesty.
Therefore, I will always remember His Majesty’s kindness in my heart!”
Shen Tang's words moved Zhao Shen's face slightly, and even a trace of guilt appeared in his eyes!
The reason why Shen Tang changed his mind to go to Chengdu Mansion was indeed because of Zhao Gou's pressure.
Of course, Zhao Shen did not believe that Shen Tang had other intentions.
However, he could not go against Zhao Shen's wishes!
He had seen Shen Tang's loyalty and ability with his own eyes, especially since he could be said to have received no reward for his merits. However, Shen Tang not only had no complaints, but was still loyal to him and agreed without any hesitation. The meaning of the dispute made his heart surge even more!
Zhao Shen stood up, walked to Shen Tang's side, and patted Shen Tang's shoulder hard, "Shen Tang, I know everything you have done.
I will not treat you badly in the future!"
For an emperor to be able to say such words of promise is enough to show how much fluctuations were in Zhao Shen's heart at this time.
Until Shen Tang left, Zhao Shen did not mention the Chengdu Mansion again! Zhao Gou had already come forward in person. Even as an emperor, he could not be regarded as an unfilial person!
"Royal Quan, send a message to Zhongshu Sheng! Let them discuss Shen Tang's reward and other matters and handle it according to the rules.
I have only one request, this time Shen Tang has made great contributions and will be granted the title of Marquis!"
"If anyone disagrees, tell them and just take up the job!"
Zhao Shen said coldly.
With Shen Tang's contribution, if it were just some rewards, it would not be enough to show it! Moreover, Zhao Shen has just been on the throne for more than two years and is very ambitious. People like Shen Tang are exactly what he needs. .
Therefore, he suppressed Shen Tang's decision to go to Chengdu Mansion, but he did not want to treat Shen Tang badly, nor did he want Shen Tang to become discouraged.
The Song Dynasty has gone through for more than a hundred years, and the number of princes passed down is by no means small.
Even a person like Gao Jing, who is just waiting for death, can inherit the position of a prince.
However, this does not mean that the title of the Song Dynasty is cheap!
It's okay to say that low-level titles are easy to get, whether it's hereditary or because of other connections in the family.
However, it is extremely difficult for people above the earl level to be rewarded without great merit.
In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that the difficulty of making Shen Tang a marquis is no less difficult than letting Shen Tang take charge of Chengdu Mansion.
However, this time Zhao Shen has made up his mind to compensate Shen Tang.
Coupled with a sudden surge of blood, I made such a decision.
When Wang Quan on the side heard this, his eyes showed a bit of surprise.
However, soon, he bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will go there later..."
Back in the mansion, the relaxed look on Shen Tang's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a look of solemnity! Zhao Shen had already spoken, which meant that the matter of Chengdu Mansion had basically given up hope.
However, Shen Tang still had one thing he wanted to be confirmed.
That's Zhao Shen's attitude, what exactly is it!
If next, his reward is generous enough, it will show that Zhao Shen still values him.
But if all the subsequent rewards are affected, it means that Zhao Shen's attitude towards himself has fundamentally changed.
And this matter will also be related to his attitude towards the court and Zhao Shen.
"Master, are you worried about anything?"
Lian'er stepped into the hall, put the tea and snacks in her hands on the table, looked at Shen Tang's solemn expression, and couldn't help but speak.
Shen Tang put his thoughts away and a smile appeared on his face again, "Don't worry, it's just that I've had a lot of things lately, so I'm a little tired!"
Although the relationship between the two has exceeded its original boundaries, Lian'er still considers herself a maid, and her title to Shen Tang has not changed at all.
"Master, have some refreshments first. I'll prepare hot water right away. Later, master will take a bath and rest early!"
Lian'er said softly.
Shen Tang entered the palace at noon, and the conversation with Zhao Shen was not short. At this moment, although the sky had not darkened yet, it was already the You hour.
"good!"
Shen Tang smiled and nodded.
Not long after, Lian'er returned again and led Shen Tang to take a bath.
In the huge bathtub, Shen Tang's figure was shrouded in white mist.
Beside, Lian'er, dressed in white gauze, gently wiped Shen Tang's body.
The gauze clothes on her body had already been soaked by the white mist, and her exquisite figure was vividly outlined.
Such a scene was naturally unbearable for the hot-blooded Shen Tang.
Therefore, not long after, with a sweet cry and the sound of splashing water, the two figures gradually merged into one in the white mist...
After a long while, this smoky battle finally ended! Water splashed all over the ground, and Lian'er's weak and boneless figure fell directly into Shen Tang's arms!
"Bang, bang, bang!"
At this moment, a slight knock on the door suddenly sounded.
"Well!"
Lian'er panicked and tried to stand up, but she obviously overestimated her endurance and fell down again.
Shen Tang smiled and hugged him again, only to hear a voice outside the door say softly, "Master, Mr. Zhang Jun is here! He said he has something to discuss with the master!"
Shen Tang was slightly startled, and then said, "I'll serve refreshments to Mr. Zhang first, I'll be there later!"
Outside the door, the sound of soft footsteps faded away, and Shen Tang stepped out of the bathtub holding Lian'er in his arms.
A clean brocade cloth had been prepared nearby. Amidst Lian'er's shyness, Shen Tang wiped it clean for her, and then the two of them got dressed again.
"Just wait, I'll ask Dongmei to take you back to your room to rest. I'll go see Prime Minister Zhang first!"
Shen Tang said softly.
Lian'er nodded shyly...
When Shen Tang came to the front hall, Zhang Jun was enjoying tea!
"Shen Tang has met Prime Minister Zhang!"
"Hahaha, blame me, blame me! Did I disturb your dream?"
Zhang Jun said with a bit of teasing.
The relationship between the two people is very subtle. Even if they are close friends, Zhang Jun also regards Shen Tang as his junior.
Therefore, such words do not appear to be out of the ordinary.
Shen Tang smiled helplessly and poured tea for Zhang Jun. Then, Zhang Jun said, "Shen Tang, I already know that His Majesty summoned you today!"
