[Rebirth] Sovereign and ministers get along

Dayuelu, the vassal king enters Beijing every three years.

In fact, there are only two vassal kings worthy of the name today - King Yun whose fief is in North Yizhou and King Jing who is fief in North Jingzhou.

King Yun and Taizu were blood brothers. Taizu Qingjun moved the chair under his own buttocks, and then sealed his brother as the hereditary iron hat prince, bestowed the fief of Beiyizhou, and at the same time acted in charge of defense along the river. The Yangtze River Fleet, in case Dazheng, which ruled across the river, suddenly invaded north.

In the 17th year of Tianyou, the third son of the emperor, Yue Can, the eldest son of the Shengzong, was crowned as an adult. The third son of the emperor, Yue Can, was crowned King Jing, and granted the fiefdom of North Jingzhou, which was adjacent to North Yizhou, and took away half of the military power of Prince Yun's mansion.

Since then, King Yun and King Jing have been in constant friction.

In the 29th year of Tianyou, when the current emperor ascended the throne, King Yun and King Jing went to Beijing to congratulate them, and stayed until February of the first year of Ding'an before returning to their fiefdoms.

In the third year of Ding'an, during the coronation ceremony of the emperor, King Yun excused himself from being seriously ill and did not listen to the announcement to enter the capital, so he only asked the eldest son of the capital, Yue Yuan, to write an apology letter on his behalf.

During the Spring Festival of the fourth year of Ding'an, according to the law, the vassal king should enter the capital to face the saint. However, until February of the fifth year of Ding'an, Yue Yu did not see the shadow of King Yun and King Jing in Beijing, and his disobedience was clearly revealed.

In the imperial study room, there were three charcoal basins, but the officials could not help but sweat.

The young monarch, wearing a black cross-collar padded gown with silver fox fur on the lapel, sat on the throne with an unpredictable expression, waiting for Zhuqing to reply.

Having seen the political storm caused by the deficit of the household department in Ding'an three years ago, none of the officials dared to underestimate the young emperor.

Ever since the emperor was in charge, the regent Yue Zhen was no longer willing to participate in political affairs, and enjoyed himself in his palace made of gold and jade with peace of mind.

University scholar Yin Hong is of course the first among civil servants.

Yue Yu's gaze swept across the group of officials, and then fixed on Yin Hong: "Yin Qing, what do you think I should do?"

Yin Hong cupped his rounder belly: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, since King Yun and King Jing are unable to enter the capital, Your Majesty might as well send imperial envoys to North Yizhou and North Jingzhou to send some rewards. To show my emperor's mercy."

"Yeah." Yue Yu hummed, "Does Yin Qing have a suitable candidate for imperial envoy?"

"This..." Yin Hong looked at Yue Yu sadly—I have already helped you with the idea of ​​offending others, so don't let me do such things that offend others to death!

After watching it sadly, he still didn't forget to glance at Su Shuo behind him, the implication was obvious.

Shen Lanqing stood beside Yue Yu, secretly cursing the old fox.

Yue Yu slightly hooked the corner of his lower lip, and looked at Su Shuo: "Su Qing, do you have someone to recommend?"

Su Shuo scolded Yin Hong in his heart, but he couldn't evade it. He quickly scanned the officials within sight, and slowly smiled: "Return to Your Majesty, Mr. Shen Shuo, the left servant of the household department, is diligent and cautious. , self-restraint and devotion to the public, should be honored to go to North Yizhou and North Jingzhou on behalf of the Son of Heaven to visit King Yun and King Jing.”

Anger welled up in Shen Lanqing's heart, and his eyes turned cold in an instant. Everyone knew that King Yun and King Jing had a heart of disobedience. If he went to the second prince's mansion, he would definitely die, and even if he got back by luck, he would definitely be full of shame. , this Su Shuo is really...

"Shen Shuo?" Yue Yu raised his eyebrows, looked at Shen Shuo, and pondered, "Shen Qing, would you like to go?"

Shen Shuo's expression remained unchanged, his smile remained unchanged, he bowed calmly and saluted: "It is the duty of a subject to share worries for His Majesty."

"Your Majesty." Shen Lanqing knelt on the ground abruptly, and kowtowed, "I beg Your Majesty's grace, the quasi-minister will escort Mr. Shen there."

Seeing this, the other courtiers were not without envy, but Shen Shuo frowned and gave Shen Lanqing a reproachful look.

"Cough!" Geng Liangshen, an academician who has always been neither party nor crowd, coughed softly, "Your Majesty, Shen Shilang is a scholar, and his body is not very strong. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to bear the long-distance fatigue."

"What Geng University scholar said is true. It is a long way to go to North Yizhou and North Jingzhou, and the civil servants may not be able to do it." The minister of Dali Temple then echoed, and then [-]% of the civil servants also agreed.

The Shen family...

Yue Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and coldly glanced at the civil servants who were competing to speak: "Since all the ministers feel that the civil servants are not competent..."

"...I can't embarrass you, so I'll choose a military position..." Yue Yu glanced across the beautiful ridge line and landed on the top of Shen Lanqing's head, "Shen Lanqing, it's you."

"The minister takes orders."

For Shen Lanqing, as long as the imperial envoy is not his father, it will be fine.

However, Geng Liangshen, the senior scholar of Yu University, is not the case. Shen Lanqing is his future grandson-in-law, and that granddaughter is held in the top of his heart. Therefore, Senior Bachelor Geng spoke again for the first time: "Your Majesty, Shen Lanqing is only a second-class guard. Is the rank too low?" The implication is, Your Majesty, you should change to a guard with a higher rank!

"Scholar Geng's words are really..." Before Senior Scholar Geng could heave a sigh of relief, Yue Yu looked at Geng Liangshen with a half-smile and continued, "Promoting Shen Lanqing to be a first-class bodyguard, is it possible for the third rank to be qualified?"

"..." Geng Liangshen remained silent.

Yue Yu looked at Shen Lanqing: "Okay, get up, Senior Scholar Geng loves you."

"..." Shen Lanqing was speechless, "I thank you for your grace."

"You don't need to say any more..." Yue Yu passed the hand stove from his right hand to his left, and tapped his knuckles on the imperial case, "Sheng Shen Lanqing is the first-class guard, and he is appointed as an imperial envoy. Wangfu, Jingwangfu, leave in three days."

"My emperor is holy." All the ministers praised in unison.

Yue Yu lifted the corner of one side of his lips, looked at Yue Yuan among the ministers: "Yue Yuan."

"The younger brother is here."

"You haven't returned to Prince Yun's mansion for eight years, have you?"

"Yes."

"King Yun is seriously ill, and you will set off with Shen Lanqing in three days!"

"Your brother bows to thank you for your grace."

The ministers wanted to speak, but Yue Yu turned back with a cold stare. Yue Yu said again: "I haven't returned for eight years, and there must be many things to take care of. I will allow you to leave, so go back to the house now."

Yue Yuan thanked him, and withdrew from the imperial study room. The ministers who had been silent just now finally voiced their worried objections: "Your Majesty, please think twice, the son is the eldest son of King Yun, wouldn't it make King Yun even worse to let him go back at this time?" Less constraints?"

"Dong Yushi's words are very true. Your Majesty, please think twice. Leaving Prince Yun's son in Beijing will always make King Yun feel jealous."

"Your Majesty, please think twice..."

"Your Majesty, please think twice..."

"..."

Please ask Yue Yu to think twice, Yin Hong and Geng Liangshen are still there, and Shen Shuo is still calm.

Yue Yu asked Shen Shuo: "Shen Qing, your son is an imperial envoy this time, why don't you persuade me to keep Yue Yuan in Beijing as a pledge to ensure your son's safety?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, state affairs come first, and I dare not abolish the government for personal reasons. Besides, if the son is really important to King Yun, King Yun will definitely not send him to the capital, and he will only ask one question for eight years." Shen Shuo I was very fortunate in my heart, but the Prince Yun owed Brother Lan a big or small favor. This time we went back to Yizhou in the north, and we would definitely be Brother Lan's help. Why did you keep him in Beijing?It's just an unfavored son, if King Yun doesn't have this decisive power, how can he dare to show his disobedience?

"Follow me to the imperial garden." The officials retreated, Yue Yu got up, and the servant hurriedly helped him put on the sable fur cloak.Yue Yu held the hand stove in front, Shen Lanqing and Lian Ruofei and other imperial guards followed, and walked all the way to the northeast corner of the imperial garden, Yue Yu looked at the red plum blossoms in full bloom, "Shen Qing, follow me to the plum grove. "

"My minister obeys."

Lian Ruofei and the other guards stayed outside the plum grove, Shen Lanqing followed Yue Yu into the depths of the plum grove, lit the snow on the scattered red plums, leaving two shallow shoe prints, which were wiped away by snowflakes in an instant left traces.

"Shen Qing." Yue Yu stopped, turned around, and looked at Shen Lanqing, "Do you know why I appointed you as an imperial envoy?"

"Your Majesty is dull." Shen Lanqing lowered her eyes, staring at the edge of Yue Yu's robe, "Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

"Hmph." Yue Yu snorted softly, and took a step forward. There was only a foot or so between the two of them, "Blunt?"

"Chen..." The familiar Longdan incense filled his nose, and Shen Lanqing took a deep breath unconsciously, "I will do my best to find out the truth about Prince Yun's residence and Prince Jing's residence."

"Yeah." The snowflakes fell on Shen Lanqing's hair, and Yue Yu somehow felt that the silvery white in the middle of the black was dazzling for no reason.

"If King Yun and Prince Jing are really disobedient, I will try my best to find out more about the enemy." Shen Lanqing lowered his eyes and was secretly slandering the monarch. Whether he knew the word "contentment" or not, his chin was covered by a warm index finger Hold it upright.

Shen Lanqing's body froze suddenly, and the emotions in his eyes surged, and then he returned to normal. Following his strength, he raised his head and looked at the expressionless emperor calmly: "Your Majesty?"

"Yeah." Yue Yu didn't take it back directly, but instead rubbed Shen Lanqing's cheek with the back of his finger, "Why are people who practice martial arts so afraid of the cold?"

"..." This is because you have insulted the minister, do you think the minister's face is cold? "I'm born with a cool body temperature."

"Hmm." Yue Yu grabbed Shen Lanqing's wrist and put the stove in Shen Lanqing's hand, "I'm tired, help me hold it."

"..." After getting along for a long time, I feel more and more that my lord is a person who likes duplicity, "Yes."

"Go back." Yue Yu gathered his cloak and started to walk back, approaching the edge of the Merlin, Yue Yu looked at the several guards who were holding hands and breathed, and said calmly, "Shen Qing, no matter what, come back alive."

"My minister obeys."

"If possible, bring Yue Yuan back when you come back."

"I will live up to my holy order."

After the monarch and his subjects left, a beautiful figure flashed out of the plum grove, with delicate eyebrows and dignified demeanor, with a golden phoenix walking in a bun and a red cloak draped over her body, making her look extraordinarily pretty.

"Miss, it was the Emperor and Master Shen just now..." The voice of the maid dressing up the man disappeared under the cold eyes of the beautiful figure, who tightly clenched the hand hidden in the gauntlet, and said calmly, "Don't call me the palace in the future." Miss, also, you didn't see anything today, and we didn't come to this plum grove, so find an inconspicuous place to bury those flower branches, and go back to the palace."
