Chapter 1481 Death Threat
These words, spoken with a smile, really scared Shen Yi.
Because this really touched his vital point.
Over the past twenty years, the monarch and his subject have worked hand in hand to build a career. In the process, Lord Shen has gained enormous reputation and can be said to be famous throughout the world.
His reputation was so great that the imperial court would never dare to touch him easily, nor could it touch him.
However, this is an era where the monarch is the most important.
In other words, the achievements of all the ministers in the court, including Shen Yi himself, will be credited to Emperor Hongde.
The current Emperor Hongde can be said to be the emperor in the history of Dachen whose achievements are second only to Emperor Taizu, and he is also the Holy Son of Heaven of Dachen!
If he died in the Shen family under unclear circumstances, Shen Yi would never be able to clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
The infamy of regicide will surely fall on his forehead.
What's more, what's even more terrible is that now the entire Shen family, including Shen Heng, is in Yanjing. If the emperor dies in an instant, Shen Yi and his family may never be able to leave Yanjing again!
The most terrifying thing is that once this shit pot falls on Shen Yi's head, under the influence of thousands of years of loyalty to the emperor, even if Xue Wei grits his teeth and wants to rebel, the generals and soldiers under his command...
Not necessarily with him.
In other words, if the emperor really died in the Shen family for unknown reasons, all the backup plans that Shen Yi had laid out over the years would be ineffective!
I'm afraid that Shen Yi's entire family will fall into the hands of the imperial court!
This is also the reason why Shen Yi's expression changed drastically.
"Haha."
When the emperor saw Shen Yi's expression, he couldn't help but clapping and laughing.
"I really frightened you."
The emperor smiled and said, "I was just joking with you."
Mr. Shen forced a smile on his face.
He calmed down a little now.
The emperor couldn't die like this.
At least he cannot die now, because the court has not been completely stabilized, and the issue of the crown prince has not been completely decided.
In addition, Xue Wei's location was not only a question of whether he would rebel, but more importantly, whether he could stop the Tatars.
Given all these problems, it was impossible for the emperor to die in the Shen family, at least not at this time.
If all the timing and conditions were ripe, Shen Yi suspected that this guy wouldn't even be able to take a joke. He might grit his teeth and die in his own home.
After all, Shen Yi is still wondering how Empress Dowager Sun died.
As an absolutely outstanding emperor, if Emperor Hongde really dared to kill his mother, he would probably not hesitate to kill himself as long as it was beneficial to the court.
Master Shen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, please don't make such jokes. I am timid and can't stand being scared."
Emperor Hong De smiled and said, "For more than 20 years, I have been through thick and thin. How could I be scared by a joke?"
Mr. Shen smiled bitterly and said, "What you just said was too scary."
Emperor Hong De's words were indeed scary.
Fortunately, Shen Yi has a unique and different soul. He is not loyal to the emperor and patriotic in his bones, nor does he have too deep Confucian thoughts.
If a minister who was born and raised in this era heard what the emperor just said, he would either be frightened to death on the spot or his life would be shortened by several years.
"I still have a lot of things for Shen Qing to do."
The emperor lowered his head to drink and said with a smile: "Besides, our relationship is not to this extent."
Shen Yi nodded his head.
The emperor put down his wine glass and said, "This wine is really good, very mellow. Where did it come from?"
Shen Yi bowed his head and said, "My brother-in-law in Fuzhou sent it to you through someone else. If Your Majesty likes it, I will ask them to pay tribute to the palace."
The emperor hummed and nodded, "Is it the one from the Fuzhou Chamber of Commerce?"
"Yes."
The emperor smiled and said, "Then let him send some to the palace. I have been craving for wine lately."
"Yes, I will write to Fuzhou today."
The emperor stretched himself and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll rest here for a while, you can go out and get busy."
"Call the prince in later."
Shen Yi hesitated for a moment, then nodded his head and agreed.
The emperor smiled dumbly when he saw him like this: "Why, are you afraid that you will find me lying on the ground when you come back?"
Mr. Shen said he didn't dare and left the warm room. As soon as he went out, he ran into His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
The prince bowed and said, "Uncle."
Mr. Shen also bowed his head deeply: "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
The prince coughed and asked, "Uncle, where is my father?"
"In the inner room. I will take Your Highness there."
…………
The wedding was a great success that day.
Although His Majesty the Emperor did not actually preside over the wedding, the entire audience watched the ceremony. After the newlyweds kowtowed to Shen Yi and his wife, worshipped heaven and earth, and entered the bridal chamber, His Majesty the Emperor, accompanied by a group of palace servants, got on the dragon chariot and left the Shen family.
Everyone in the Shen family saw them off all the way to the door.
After the emperor left, the ministers in the court left one after another. Zhang Jian was not in a hurry to leave. He was pulled by Shen Yi to stay at home and have another drink.
Also drinking together were Prince of Jin Li Mu, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Zhao Jizhou, and Shen Yi's brother Shen Heng.
At the table, Prince Jin raised his glass to Shen Yi and said with a smile, "Ziheng is still the most prestigious. Your Majesty has never been to any of my sons' weddings."
Mr. Shen shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is just taking this opportunity to show up. It has nothing to do with face or not."
Prince Jin seemed to be thinking about something, and asked, "Ziheng, Your Majesty..."
He put down his glass and whispered, "Can I tell you or not?"
Master Shen looked around at everyone and said with a smile: "If there were outsiders here, I would naturally not be able to say anything to anyone, but everyone here today is our own people, so I will say a few words."
"His Majesty…"
"I have been too tired these years, and now I have become a little lazy. I think I have to delegate some of the government affairs to the people below me."
At this point, Shen Yi said softly: "From now on, the ministers in the court will have to speak louder."
This statement was discussed by His Majesty the Emperor and Shen Yi, and was deliberately revealed to some important officials in the court.
Firstly, it was to explain why the emperor had not appeared in public for more than a month, and at the same time to give some information to the outside world to ease the emperor's subsequent workload.
This is the double reduction plan of Emperor Hong De.
One is to reduce meetings with ministers, and the other is to reduce the handling of government affairs.
Everyone believed Shen Yi's words without a doubt.
After all, no one would think too badly of the Emperor who just turned forty.
Zhao Jizhou raised his wine glass, toasted Zhang Jian, and said with a smile: "It seems that from now on, we will all ask for more from you, Senior Brother. It's a pity that my father didn't catch up with this good time, otherwise I might be one of the nine great ministers now."
Zhang Jian clinked his glass with his and smiled dumbly: "You are so lazy and unwilling to make connections. It is a favor from His Majesty that you can be the Vice Minister of the Six Ministries."
As he spoke, he looked at Shen Heng and whispered, "Zichang will be the chief examiner for this year's imperial examination, right?"
Shen Heng put down his wine glass and nodded, "Among the two tables, there will probably be one for me."
"Be more careful."
Zhang Xianggong reminded: "The issue of students from the north and south is quite sensitive right now."
Shen Heng raised his glass to Zhang Jian and said softly, "I will keep your words in mind."
…………
A few days later.
"Dad, my son just got married not long ago, why are you so anxious to send him away?"
Shen Yi glanced at him and said unhappily, "I'm not asking you to go alone. Aren't you allowed to bring your wife with you?"
Shen Yuan chuckled and said, "Dad..."
"If you want to take that girl named Su with you, I can pretend I didn't see her, but she's probably in a bad mood."
"Whether I am willing to go with you depends on your own ability."
Shen Yuan nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of my son's affairs myself."
"also."
Master Shen narrowed his eyes and reminded softly, "That girl, your father has sent people to check inside and outside many times, and can't find any problems for the time being, but you still have to be a little careful on weekdays, after all, she is from the north."
"More than a decade ago, this was the territory of Northern Qi and the Qingjing Division."
Shen Yuan patted his chest and made the promise, then quickly packed his luggage, took his new wife and said goodbye to his parents, and left Yanjing City.
Mr. Shen took Lu Ruoxi and Ye Chan with him and escorted them out of the city.
Ye Chan said softly: "Master is too impatient, sending Dalang away so quickly."
"Yes."
Lu Ruoxi also said, "We have to stay here for at least a month or two."
Mr. Shen shook his head slightly and said nothing.
He didn't want to chase his son and daughter-in-law away in such a hurry, but there was no other way.
The emperor’s death threat is so damn scary!
After all, he is the emperor...
If he comes to visit again...
Who can stop it?
