Liu Ce was about to object again on the grounds of His Majesty's poor health. Emperor Jing He, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was overcome by Shen Che's extremely rebellious words. He stood up and said majestically: "Come out of the palace."
"Your Majesty, no!" Most of the people, including Liu Ce, knelt down and objected fiercely.
"My lords, don't worry. In my world, the people are my subjects. There is nothing wrong with me going out of the palace to visit my people. Besides, I am just out on patrol incognito."
Emperor Jinghe made a domineering declaration, and also reminded him that he was in private, which was very considerate, and then left the court to change into casual clothes. A group of escorting eunuchs and maidens followed him out.
Shen Che shouted at the departing figure: "Your Majesty is wise."
Liu Ce, who was kneeling on the ground, slowly stood up, and in his heart he responded to what Emperor Jing He just said, "My world, my people..."
This is the power of imperial power!
Several officials came over and asked: "Master Liu, why is this good? Your Majesty insists on leaving the palace, just in case..."
"Since Your Majesty insists on leaving the palace, we will naturally protect him to the death." Liu Ce said softly and walked away. Since he was incognito, he naturally had to change out of his official robe and wear casual clothes.
All the civil servants in the court shook their heads and sighed, and gradually left.
Shen Che shook his head leisurely with his jade bone fan and said, "Okay!"
It is not easy for a king of a country to travel, even if he is incognito, under the attention of his ministers.
By the time Emperor Jinghe led a group of courtiers out of Zhengyang Gate, it was already afternoon.
Exiting Zhengyangmen is the bustling Zhuque Street. The carriage is walking slowly. Emperor Jinghe and Shen Che are riding together. The eunuch Feng Yongliang is sitting on the shaft of the carriage. Chen Fangchong is the groom leading the horse forward. , both of them were wearing casual clothes.
In the carriage, Shen Che opened the curtains and looked out the window without any scruples. He said with a smile: "Brother, the emperor deserves to thank me. Without me, how would you have been able to leave the palace."
"Yes, thank you for my brother." Emperor Jinghe said funnyly. This cousin really didn't look like the heir of Prince Luo in front of him.
When the two of them were alone, they had no respect for him as the king.
At all times, he looks free and uninhibited, not constrained by the etiquette of a king.
However, the number of members of the royal family was declining, Master Mingzhen became a monk and had no interest in government affairs. Uncle Luo Huang lived in the imperial village for many years to recuperate. Now they are the only two brothers in the capital.
"How is Uncle Luo Huang's health?" Emperor Jinghe asked.
"It's better than last year. I can get out of bed and walk a few more steps." Shen Che said. In addition to errands for Emperor Jinghe, he also went to the Imperial Manor to visit his father, the Queen, his mother and his concubines, and by the way, he sent three two-hundred-year-old gifts. ginseng, and some other rare medicinal materials.
Naturally, he bought the ginseng from Xiao Ming. It has to be said that since Xiao Ming arrived in the capital, it has been much easier for him to get ginseng. The Xiao family is a big ginseng farmer, and even the yard is full of ginseng and other precious medicinal materials. .
Every one of them is worth a thousand pieces of gold, something no one else can ask for. Her family has so many of them that they are not worth a penny.
If he needs it at any time, he can just go to Xiao's house and pull out a few plants. Of course he has to pay money.
However, this time when he went out to visit his parents in the city, he was forced to get married by his mother again. Shen Che felt a little sad. Now that his father has recovered a lot, his mother's eyes are fixed on him. His happy days are coming to an end soon. .
"It's a good thing that the emperor's uncle is in good health. I hope he can recover soon." Emperor Jing He naturally didn't know how hard Shen Che was being forced to get married.
Just as he was talking, children's voices came from outside the car window.
My Emperor Jingwen
Holy Emperor Mingwang
Delong Wangzun
Yaogu and Shunmu
meritocracy
…
The king is sage and the minister is virtuous
Get the king to do the right thing
wind tiger cloud dragon
Ming and sun and moon
Haiyan Heqing
….
Emperor Jinghe himself opened the curtains and watched the children on the street singing, dancing and playing, and what they were mumbling were words to praise the current Holy Emperor.
After walking for a while, we reached the end of Zhuque Street. There were still many people talking about the Great Northwest Victory, and everyone praised the current saint for his wisdom and bravery.
What Shen Che said was true.
As for the words "Long live the Northwest Army, long live General Baiyu", there is no such word.
They heard it, and the civil and military officials in the following carriages naturally heard it clearly. They all had been in the officialdom for several years or even decades. They were not deaf, not blind, and not stupid at heart.
Chen Yuan beamed with joy and straightened his back. Let’s see how you old men can quibble this time.
Slap him in the face, slap, slap.
The rumor collapsed.
In the second carriage that Emperor Jinghe and Shen Che rode together, Liu Ce sat quietly, the sound outside the carriage lingering in his ears for a long time.
He is different from Chen Yuan's faction, and they are too divided. The two of them cannot ride in the same carriage.
At this point, riding in the same column as Liu Ce were officials who were close to Liu Ce in the cabinet. Everyone heard this and couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Some people hesitated and said: "Master Liu, do you think this is happening?"
"Lord Luo, the great victory in the northwest is very gratifying. General Bai Yu has outstanding abilities. His Majesty has a keen eye and discerns pearls. He is wise and decisive. Only then can winds, tigers, clouds and dragons be made, and seas and rivers be clear. Your Majesty is the emperor of the ages. Don't let go of the rumors that you have heard in the past. Don't mention it again." Liu Ce quietly admonished the officials around him.
The officials were shocked when they heard this and quickly reacted: "Master Liu is right, your Majesty is wise."
So hoo! A storm was eliminated invisible.
Subsequently, with the enthusiastic donations from courtiers, civil and military officials, the whole capital also launched a donation campaign to contribute to the Northwest Army. Those who had money gave money, those who had goods gave goods, and those who had food gave food.
Many big merchants donate a lot, because those who donate more will leave the name of the donor on the merit monument, which will record which war, which year, which family, donation amount, and when the war begins After the ceremony is completed, the merit monument will be stored in the special merit forest of the imperial court for future generations to visit and worship. This is a supreme honor for the family.
Therefore, many people will participate in every donation event of the imperial court.
Not only in the capital, but also outside the capital, a steady stream of materials and money were shipped over. The whole country was united as one and unprecedentedly united. Everyone hoped that the northwest war would be successful and the territory would be expanded.
As a result, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War organized several shipments of supplies to the northwest, and the whole country was paying attention to this battle of recovery.
Of course, the Jiang family, Zhou family, and Xiao family all donated a lot in this torrent.
In the court, Liu Ce petitioned for the title of king for several days, admonishing Jing and the emperor to designate Baiyu General Shi Tingyu as the northwest king.
Gradually, under his persistence, many people in the court followed suit.
However, Emperor Jinghe ignored them and was even forced to do so. Emperor Jinghe was so angry that he fainted in the court hall. As Emperor Jinghe fell ill, this proposal was put on hold for the time being.
The court hall was quiet, but the Xiao family was lively again, because Shen Che was back. He didn't go back to his Prince Luo's residence, but went directly to the Xiao family to eat and drink.
Of course, he didn't come in vain, he brought a lot of gifts.
When he saw Xiao Han for the first time, he was shocked and touched his face unnaturally. He didn't expect that there was someone who could compare with him and be more handsome than him.
So, after shamelessly discussing with Xiao Han, I breathed a sigh of relief silently, thank you! Fortunately! He is not as talented as him in academics and looks darker than him.
It's a black kid. Look at Xiao Han who looks thin when wearing clothes and has a muscular body when he takes off his clothes. He is not stupid enough to compete with Xiao Han in martial arts. Comparing martial arts is what fools do.
He is very aware of the crisis. He is much older than Xiao Han, and only now does he barely have the advantage.
After the appraisal was completed, Shen Che took on the role of an elder brother and gave some serious guidance on Xiao Han's studies. Seeing Xiao Han obediently asking for advice under his nose, he felt very accomplished.
