Chapter 1485 Who can withstand this!

Mr. Shen looked quietly at the crown prince of the Chen Dynasty in front of him.

To be honest, Crown Prince Li Rong has not done anything wrong until now.

His biggest fault is that he is too mediocre.

Another mistake was that he was chosen by his descendants, the Sun family.

What's even more pitiful is that as early as when His Majesty the Emperor mentioned Li Rong's name through the Empress Dowager Sun, the Third Prince was actually on the verge of being eliminated, or had even been eliminated.

From that time on, Li Rong had become the emperor's "tool for moving the capital". The emperor used him as the crown prince to tell all officials and even the world that not only the emperor of Dachen would move the capital, but the crown prince of Dachen would also move the capital. After emphasizing the consistency of the policy, the capital relocation was carried out smoothly.

In the process, the Third Prince offended some of the Jiangnan gentry.

Now, the Emperor has sent the Fourth Prince south on an errand, and the momentum is very strong. More importantly, even though Emperor Hongde has been somewhat negligent in his duties, he did not let the Crown Prince govern the country, nor did he even let him observe government affairs.

As for the three masters of the Eastern Palace, although there are titles, there is still no full-time official. In other words, almost two years have passed, and the prince's Eastern Palace faction has not yet been established.

Although many officials in the court are rushing to make friends with the Eastern Palace, because the emperor's attitude is a little abnormal, the important officials in the court are still in a wait-and-see state. For example, Shen Heng and Zhang Jian, under Shen Yi's advice, have so far refused to have any involvement with the Eastern Palace.

This made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feel uneasy.

The only person he can find now is Shen Yi, the Prince's Grand Tutor.

The question he asked was more or less sad.

Because the Third Prince really didn't know what he should do now to satisfy his father.

Shen Yi took a sip of tea and smiled: "Your Highness has already moved into the East Palace, and is obviously very much liked by His Majesty. Why do you suddenly ask such a question?"

"Uncle, please don't tease me."

The Third Prince sighed and said, "My grandmother forced me to be the Eastern Palace from my father. Because of this, my father must be annoyed with me..."

Silly boy.

Mr. Shen shook his head slightly in his heart.

Until now, the Third Prince has not even figured out the cause and effect relationship.

Li Rong looked at Shen Yi and said with his head down: "Uncle, my father might still be angry about this, but I have asked the Sun family, and they said it has nothing to do with the Sun family. It's the grandmother, the grandmother..."

Shen Yi sighed and said, "Your Highness, this matter is too sensitive. It has passed. Let's not mention it again."

"Since you are already the East Palace, then you should abide by the rules. As long as you don't make mistakes, this position will always be yours, and no one can take it away."

"Especially the Sun family."

Shen Yi kindly reminded: "Just keep a proper distance."

At this time, no matter what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does, it will be of little use. After all, the Fourth Prince has been assassinated so many times in the south. This is enough to put the blame on the Sun family and the Crown Prince.

However, as an elder and the Prince's Grand Tutor, Shen Yi still has to remind the Prince.

Whether it was useful or not, he had said it anyway.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bowed his head and said nothing for a long while. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Yi: "Uncle, nephew has another question to ask you."

Master Shen frowned slightly: "Your Highness, please speak."

"Are you interested in taking the fourth son-in-law as your son-in-law?"

Shen Yi sighed silently.

"Your Highness, this matter..."

"Hard to say."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt a little aggrieved, so he stood up, bowed and said, "Nephew knows."

"I dare not disturb my uncle. I will take my leave."

Shen Yi stood up silently.

"I'll take you there, Your Highness."

………………

"Your Majesty, it's time for the Northern Zhili Governor's Office to move out of Yanjing."

In Ganlu Palace, Master Shen bowed slightly and said, "Whether the Governor-General of Northern Zhili should be permanent in the future is still under discussion, but the Governor-General's Office overlaps with the Jingzhao Prefecture Office, and many things are difficult to handle. I have asked several prime ministers, and they all think it is better to move the Governor-General's Office out of Yanjing and move it to Baoding Prefecture."

His Majesty the Emperor put down the latest issue of the court bulletin and looked at Shen Yi.

"Shen Qing wants to leave Yanjing?"

Mr. Shen smiled and shook his head, "No, I just feel that the two offices overlap, and many things are not running smoothly."

Although Jingzhao Prefecture is located in Northern Zhili, it is not under the jurisdiction of Northern Zhili, but is directly under the imperial court. In addition, Yanjing was originally governed by Shen Yi's governor's office. After the establishment of Jingzhao Prefecture, many government orders overlapped or conflicted, and it could no longer function.

However, due to Shen Yi's special identity, it is not easy for him to interfere in Jingzhao Prefecture.

His Majesty the Emperor stroked his chin and thought for a while, then said, "The Northern Zhili Governor's Office can be moved out of Yanjing, but Shen Qingni, you can't just leave Yanjing like that. There are many things in Yanjing City that I need you to do."

"That's it."

The emperor thought for a while and said, "Set up the three offices of Northern Zhili in Baoding and let them move there on a certain day. The government affairs of Northern Zhili will be handled there, but the Governor's Office will remain in Yanjing. Shen Qing, you don't have to deal with the government affairs of Northern Zhili on weekdays. You only need to read the documents sent by the three offices."

Hearing the emperor say this, Shen Yi could only nod and agree, saying, "Your Majesty is wise."

The emperor smiled and said, "I heard that your disciple Li Zhun is very capable. Do you want to send him to the Provincial Administration Office in Northern Zhili so that I can assign him an official position?"

Shen Yi was startled, then he said, "Your Majesty, Li Jun is only a juren, and he usually works for me as a document sorter, so it's not easy for him to be sent out as an official."

"Well."

The emperor nodded and said, "Since Mr. Shen is unwilling to release him, I will not take his place. I will ask the Secretariat and the Ministry of Personnel to handle the matter of the Northern Zhili government office as soon as possible, so Mr. Shen does not need to worry about it."

Shen Yi smiled and said, "That's great. Although I am a Jinshi, I have not been a director for many years. I have been in charge of the Governor's Office for a long time, and I am exhausted."

The emperor smiled dumbly: "You are still too lazy."

After the two chatted for a while, the emperor looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Did the third brother come to see you recently?"

"Yes."

Master Shen took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has come to see me many times."

"He's finally smarter."

The emperor said leisurely: "I know it's useless to rely on the Sun family. I still have to count on Shen Qing, the prince's tutor."

Mr. Shen smiled bitterly and said, "I can't help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with anything."

"pity…"

The emperor only said these two words and did not continue speaking. Instead, he waved for Shen Yi to sit down. After Shen Yi sat down, he smiled and said, "I have something interesting to tell you."

Shen Yi was a little curious: "Your Majesty, what's interesting?"

"Zhao Kai is dead."

The emperor said these four words with a smile.

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment before he realized who Zhao Kai was.

Emperor Zhaowu of Northern Qi.

Over the years, Emperor Zhaowu had been imprisoned in Jiankang. After the capital was moved, he was not brought here. He was still left in Jiankang and handed over to the Nanjing court for custody.

By now, Emperor Zhaowu had lived in Jiankang for twelve years.

Emperor Hong De counted on his fingers and said with a smile: "The report I received this morning said that he died suddenly on a woman's belly."

"This guy has given birth to more than a dozen children in Jiankang over the years."

Emperor Hong De's smile was full of mischief: "Finally dead."

For ordinary people, such a death might be a good thing, but for an emperor who once ruled over a vast territory, being confined and forced to live a life of seclusion was the most depressing thing.

When this incident is recorded in history books in the future, Emperor Zhaowu will certainly not be able to escape the harsh criticism of future generations.

Mr. Shen clicked his tongue.

"It's easier for him."

Emperor Hongde said with a smile: "Next time we send people to Zhu Lizhen, we will bring a few of Zhao Kai's children with us so that they can recognize each other by blood. I wonder what expression Zhu Lizhen Khan outside the Great Wall will have when the time comes."

Shen Yi smiled and responded: "I must piss him off to death."

"After receiving this news, I feel much better."

His Majesty the Emperor stood up, pulled Shen Yi's sleeve, and said with a smile: "Let's go out of the palace."

Master Shen blinked his eyes: "Your Majesty, where are we going?"

The emperor answered with a smile as he walked out with one hand behind his back.

"Let's go to your house and drink!"

Mr. Shen was dragged by him, and his expression suddenly stiffened.

Who can stand this!
