Chapter 1467: Knowledgeable Young Marquis

From a personal emotional point of view, Shen Yi believed that the emperor did not kill his mother.

However, Shen Yi is not a pure person who bases everything on emotion.

Therefore, no matter how close he was to the emperor, he never let go of Xue Wei's military power for a single day, and never stopped making the necessary preparations.

All the backup plans he had left over the years ensured that no matter what kind of person the emperor was, they could live in peace with each other.

As for what measures the emperor would take against the Shen family once Xue Wei lost his military power, Shen Yi could not think about these things.

After all, this kind of thing, even if you just think about it, will hurt your feelings.

Besides, it is not appropriate to speculate about others based on things that have not happened.

That night, the Emperor stayed at the Shen family for half an hour before leaving. Mr. Shen, despite his sick body, got up from the bed and escorted him all the way to the bedroom door. The Emperor turned around and said seriously, "I order you not to escort me anymore."

Mr. Shen had no choice but to stop, call his younger brother and son, and tell them to see His Majesty off.

His Majesty the Emperor smiled at Shen Yi and said, "After Shen Qing gets better, remember to go to the palace. We can start to work on many of our matters."

Mr. Shen thought about it, and suddenly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, if it is a matter of punishing or dismissing people, perhaps you can let Minister Zhou do it. After all, Minister Zhou is in charge of the Ministry of Justice, and these are also his responsibilities."

"After this matter is handled, Your Majesty can also promote Minister Zhou at your discretion."

His Majesty the Emperor thought about it for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's a good idea, but Zhou Yuanlang's power is too small now, and I'm afraid he can't handle it."

"Your Majesty, as long as you protect him, he will be the most powerful person in the court, and he is the only one who can do this kind of thing."

What Shen Yi was talking about was naturally about the affairs of the southern diehards. Originally, the emperor wanted him to help with this offensive matter, but in Shen Yi's opinion, Zhou Yuanlang was obviously a more suitable candidate.

After all, the emperor had to balance the north and the south, so conflicts were bound to arise between the north and the south. Zhou Yuanlang was both a surrendered minister of the old Qi and a northerner, so he had all kinds of hegemony.

His Majesty the Emperor thought about it seriously, then said with a smile: "As expected of Mr. Shen, you can escape from illness even if you are sick."

Shen Yi smiled, then took a step forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, I will find a way to find famous doctors for you at home and abroad, and try my best to take care of your body. Your pill..."

"You can't go in any further."

He spoke in a very low voice, so only he and the emperor could hear it. The emperor was also quite touched. He sighed and said, "Don't worry, Shen Qing. I..."

“Just try not to eat it.”

After that, His Majesty the Emperor, accompanied by Shen Heng and Shen Yuan, left Shen Yi's room and got on the sedan chair to return to the palace.

…………

A few days later, Mr. Shen recovered from his illness and became full of energy again.

He quickly threw himself into the work of the Governor's Office. After all, the Governor's Office now almost took on the responsibilities of the Jingzhao Prefecture which had not yet been established, and it was extremely busy.

In such busyness, two months passed quickly and it was the autumn of the 30th year of Hongde.

On this day, the King of Goryeo brought his daughter Li Wanjun to the imperial city of Yandu to pay homage to the Emperor of Han and brought a lot of tribute.

It has always been a matter of great honor for the emperor when vassal states come to pay homage. Even Emperor Hongde was quite happy and even ordered people to prepare a banquet in the palace to entertain the father and daughter from Goryeo.

As the future in-law of the King of Goryeo, Mr. Shen Yi, brought his wife and son to attend the banquet.

During the banquet, His Majesty the Emperor naturally sat in the seat of honor, Shen Yi's family sat on the left, and the Goryeo King's family sat on the emperor's right.

Seeing that everyone had raised their glasses, the Emperor also raised his glass and said with a smile, "It seems that the King of Goryeo has seen my will. Now that the King of Goryeo has seen the son-in-law I found for him, what do you think?"

The King of Goryeo stood up, bowed to Emperor Hongde and said, "Your Majesty, I am grateful for your marriage. My daughter and I have no objection."

Princess Goryeo hid behind her father, glanced at Shen Yuan timidly, and her face turned red.

Mr. Shen stood up and said with a smile: "It would be great if the king is willing to marry the princess to him. After today's banquet, please come to my house and we can discuss the subsequent marriage together."

The King of Goryeo quickly looked up at the Emperor's expression. Seeing that Emperor Hongde did not look unhappy, he bowed his head and said, "Everything will naturally be done according to the orders of Shen Taibao."

His Majesty the Emperor smiled and said, "This son of the Shen family has grown up in front of my eyes since he was a child. I treat him no differently than my own son. Now that the marriage has been arranged, the two countries will become even closer in the future."

"Yes Yes."

The King of Goryeo stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, the first reason I came to Yanjing this time is to pay my respects to the Emperor. The second reason is that I have a favor to ask of you, Your Majesty."

As the saying goes, you should not hit someone who smiles at you. The Goryeo king has already humbled himself to this extent. Emperor Hongde will naturally not keep a cold face. He smiled and said, "Tell me first."

The King of Goryeo glanced at Shen Yi, then boldly said, "Your Majesty, this matter has to start with Lord Shen."

He lowered his head and said, "In the second half of last year, the King of Chen landed from Goryeo to fight against the Zhuli Zhenren who deserved to die. At that time, the King's army wanted to borrow a passage from Goryeo. The King invited the King's army to land without thinking twice."

"Not only that, Xiao Wang also sent the Royal Division all the way to the front line."

"After the King's Master arrived in the north, he really showed his might and beat Master Zhuli so hard that he fled in panic."

At this point, the King of Goryeo made a bitter face and said, "But this year, after the Royal Army withdrew from Goryeo, Zhu Li Zhenren was angry that our Goryeo Kingdom allowed the Royal Army to pass through. He has invaded several times in the past few months. The little king has few soldiers and generals. He really has no power to resist."

"Your Majesty, please help the Kingdom of Goryeo for my loyalty!"

His Majesty the Emperor looked at Shen Yi and said calmly, "Shen Qing, what do you say?"

Master Shen bowed his head and pondered for a while, then said, "Your Majesty, this is easy. I plan to send a Dachen Royal Army to Goryeo and station it near the border between Goryeo and Liaodong. Once Zhuli Zhenren does something wrong, the Royal Army can wipe out these bandits in one fell swoop."

The King of Goryeo was shocked and stood up almost immediately: "Your Majesty, as long as you reward more soldiers and weapons, even though Goryeo is a small country, we will definitely fight bravely for your Majesty and Master Zhuli!"

"As for Master Wang, since he has traveled thousands of miles, he doesn't have to work so hard..."

His Majesty the Emperor nodded slightly and looked at Shen Yi again. Master Shen said calmly, "Since it was caused by borrowing the road from my subordinate, it is natural for me to end it. Your Majesty, rest assured that I will negotiate with the King of Goryeo to handle this matter."

The emperor smiled and said, "It will take at least half an hour for the three of us to settle down after arguing here, Shen Yuan."

The young marquis stood up quickly and bowed: "I am here."

"This place is still a bit boring for you kids. You don't have to stay here. Take the princess of Goryeo to my back garden for a walk."

The young marquis stood up, bowed his head and nodded, then quickly led Princess Goryeo to the imperial garden of the palace.

The young marquis came from a wealthy family and knew many of the flowers in the imperial garden. When he introduced them one by one to the beautiful Korean princess, the princess cheered.

"This large chrysanthemum is too bright and colorful. It's not as pleasing as the smaller ones."

As the young marquis was telling the story, a figure dressed in bright red slowly approached from a distance.

"Young Lord Shen."

The voice was neither salty nor bland, and had a hint of sarcasm.

“You are really knowledgeable.”
