As the one who benefited and took advantage, Shen Ao didn't mean to be aggressive, as if the incident didn't happen. His so-called condition also recovered quickly, and he left early the next morning. A trip to the palace to greet the emperor and his aunt, Concubine Zhao.
The meeting between the two of them at the emperor's place was very brief. They only asked about the matter of going to Liaozhou in a business-like manner, and then asked Shen Ao to do the things at hand before letting Shen Ao leave the Yangxin Palace.
Although Emperor Qianwen didn't say anything explicitly, his concentration on doing things well was enough to prove his attitude. In this regard, Shen Ao was noncommittal. Of course, he also wanted to do things well, as long as others didn't want to provoke him. self.
As for whether he can really do this, and whether Wu Yonghou and others have to settle the consequences, I am afraid that only he knows for sure.
In the Juhe Palace, Concubine Zhao was as cordial and caring as ever. She asked if she was really sick and how her health was now. She also told her to take care of her health and not to be too tired. After that, they had a meal together. Shen Ao left the palace.
From the beginning to the end, Concubine Zhao did not mention anything about the fifth princess, but the more she did, the more Shen Ao dared not be careless. What he knew better was that the current aunt was giving him time to think about it, but if she spoke again , he really wanted to give an explanation.
Thinking of what Mr. Zeng Tong, who was in charge of intelligence work, said that after something happened to Shen Yunyi, the fifth princess hid in the palace and cried every day. She didn't even eat well and lost ten pounds because of it. He felt even more pity for the fifth princess who had lived in a deep palace since childhood.
With such a character, I am afraid that if she gets married in the future, she will be in a subordinate position. Once her husband's family treats her badly, she really doesn't know what else to do besides being submissive. This is really a pitiful girl.
After leaving the palace, Shen Ao worked hard, building houses and roads, cherishing the last time before winter.
Shen Ao became more honest, and other forces that were ready to take action also became much more honest. Based on their understanding, this Crazy Shen was a master who could not suffer losses. Ordinarily, Marquis Zhongcheng almost suffered a big loss this time. He really Can you do things with peace of mind without thinking about revenge?
The more Shen Ao didn't make a move, the more cautious everyone became, fearing that this was the calm before the storm. Once he really made a move, it would be a big move that could turn the world upside down.
Little did he know that Shen Ao really had no intention of finding fault now. His uncle did not suffer a big loss. On the contrary, his real power was greatly increased, which was a benefit. What would happen if he continued to expand his ambitions now? Will anyone think that he is pushing the envelope? In this case, it is better to stay quiet for a while.
In Daliang City, there was a brief moment of tranquility when many people's attention was focused on Shen Ao. But in the land of Jin, which was not very far away, a battle for the throne of Jin King had begun.
The time came to the second day of November in the seventeenth year of Hanchang, at the residence of the Prince of Jin. Li Tongguo, the Prince of Jin, who had commanded thousands of troops, had supreme ambition, and had enough political wisdom, was known as a hero. Finally it's time to run out of gas.
Originally, King Jin's body could last for two years, but he regretted that he had taken a fancy to the grandmaster Shen Tuwei and wanted to subjugate him for his own use. But he didn't know that it would be wrong to keep a grandmaster who did not return to his heart. What a dangerous thing.
Shen Tuwei secretly gave the King of Jin medicine a few times to drink Erosion Heart Powder, and no one could detect it. As a result, his vitality was being consumed a lot. To this day, he finally couldn't even get out of bed, and it was very laborious to speak. .
The King of Jin was seriously ill and could die at any time. All this was the intention of the former Princess Di.
From the moment Princess Di entered the Jin Kingdom, she began to plan for the Jin King's 200,000-strong military power. However, she originally wanted to spend more time to better control the Jin King's military power, but after learning about the Daganjian When she was getting stronger step by step through building houses, building roads, recruiting troops, and collecting business taxes, she really couldn't stand it anymore.
The former Princess Di was afraid that if she gave Da Gan too much time, the other party would accumulate enough strength. On the day of the outbreak, she would be unable to threaten the 200,000 Jin troops. Even if she had mastered the Jin troops at that time, What about military power?
She needed to activate it in advance. These few times, Shen Tu used the Heart Eclipse Powder to increase the amount, and there was a scene where King Jin would die at any time.
Shentu was very cautious in doing things, and used very little amount each time. Even the officials in the Jin palace could not detect it. They just thought that the king of Jin was destined to be like this. This prevented chaos in the land of Jin. This was the reason for the former Di. The result the princess wants to see.
In the room, the candlelight flickered, just like King Jin's body, which was constantly burning and moving towards the moment of withering away.
The crown prince Li Long, the second prince Li Sheng, the third prince Li Chang, and several minor princes stood in a row.
Staff Tian Yu, general Weng Youqi, Luo Tong, Wang Can and others stood in another row.
These people are the core strength of the Jinwang system.
These people are also the people that King Jin trusts the most. Even Shentu, who joined later, is not qualified to appear at this moment.
With the pillow on his back, Prince Jin could barely sit down, but his body was no longer strong, and his figure was a little stooped. Even Prince Jin's face had long turned pale. At this time, every word he spoke seemed to be... It generally takes a lot of effort.
"My king... I'm afraid I won't be able to survive."
This opening sentence caused the crown prince and the princes to burst into tears. "Father, you are okay."
"Okay...don't cry, there will be a day when people leave...Father will no longer be able to take care of you. You have grown up. You must learn to grow up in the future. You must learn to take care of yourself and do things." Think twice before you act.”
After struggling to say what he should say as a father, the crying seemed to get louder.
Originally, he wanted to scold me and say, "I'm not dead yet, so don't cry anymore," but in the end, King Jin endured it. It's already this time, and there's no point in trying to be strong. It's better to take advantage of the fact that I still have some strength and give the instructions. Just give me your instructions, and then you can rest in peace.
His eyes fell on the eldest son Li Long, and he said with more kindness, "Long'er, after your father leaves, you have to treat your younger brothers and sisters well. You are all blood relatives. You are all the flesh and blood of our Li family. From now on, the important responsibilities of the Li family will fall on you."
"Father, don't worry, Long'er will definitely treat his brothers and sisters well." Li Long burst into tears at this moment.
"Okay, okay, as long as you unite as one, Jin will be unbreakable... No one can defeat us. Also, after my death, the policy of surrendering to Emperor Qianwen cannot be changed. You can't defeat him. We can only learn to bow our heads first, develop ourselves to be strong, and then make plans when the opportunity is right." With all his strength, Jin King Li Tongguo's voice became weaker and weaker.
Several other descendants of the Li family were also in tears at this moment. They didn't want anything to happen to their father. Over the years, they had been accustomed to having their father to protect them from wind and rain. Suddenly, without their father's protection, they were all confused. Not even used to it.
In the crowd, the second prince Li Sheng also had tears hanging from his eyes. He also did not want anything to happen to his father. Because he was worried that once his father was gone, his brother Li Long would have him stabbed. If so, he would use What to resist.
Thinking that without his father, he would have lost his biggest supporter and might become a piece of meat on the chopping board. At this moment, when Li Sheng looked at the back of his brother Li Long, a feeling of fear flashed in his eyes, and there was also a hint of fear. Silk's anger.
King Jin was really dying. As if he had squeezed out all his strength, he made an explanation to his staff Tian Yu, general Weng Youqi and others. He simply told them that in the future they would be loyal to the descendants of the Li family just as they were to himself. Then he died in the early morning.
At this point, King Li Tongguo of Jin did not close his eyes, but looked in the direction of Daliang City, as if telling others that his greatest wish in life was to march into Daliang City and become the emperor of Daqian. Unfortunately, this goal did not come true accomplish.
Now that King Jin is dead, he does not think that his children and grandchildren can fulfill this wish. On the contrary, if they can avoid being swallowed up by the cunning Emperor Qianwen, they will burn high incense.
On the third day of the eleventh month of the seventeenth year of Hanchang, King Li Tongguo of Jin passed away.
Then it was announced to the world that Li Long, the new crown prince of Jin Dynasty, also began to prepare for the ceremony of enthroning the king.
According to the rules at that time, the replacement of the old and new kings would not take place immediately. At least it would have to wait until the first seven days had passed and the deceased had rested in peace before the ceremony of the new king Jin could be held. During these seven days, the crown prince Li Long It can be said that he is extremely busy, and local officials need him to comfort him; he also has to meet with the local wealthy families one by one, give them comfort, and ensure that their interests will not be affected, thus gaining their recognition and support.
The generals in the army must also be appeased one by one. At this time, everything can be messed up, but the army cannot be messed up, otherwise, it will be a fatal matter.
Li Long, who was meeting all kinds of different people every day, was so busy that he finally got half an hour of free time on the third night. He could only rest for this little time, and then he had to go to the mourning hall to pay his respects. , and taking advantage of this hard-earned time, Li Long ordered someone to call Shen Tuwei.
This was the only grandmaster among the Jin king's forces, and his status was transcendent.
In normal times, except for the King of Jin, he did not have to listen to anyone's orders. Even if Li Long, as the eldest son, needed Shentu's services, he could only discuss it, not give orders.
Now, Li Long is about to become the new King of Jin, and Shen Tuwei has to obey his orders. But out of respect, Li Long still wants to have a good talk with him and let him be used for his own purposes.
