Chapter 1465 Shocking illness!
After seeing Zhang Jian off, Mr. Shen had all the documents distributed. Then he returned home, but did not go into his bedroom first. Instead, he went to his study and looked through several documents that were delivered to his desk by the Dibao Department.
Most of them are about the situation in the north, and not much about Yanjing.
After all, from the perspective of the court system, the Dibao Division has not been in his hands for more than ten years. Although Shen Yi has been able to control the Dibao Division for more than ten years, people's hearts are like water. It is difficult to say whether the current Dibao Division is still the Dibao Division founded by Shen Yi.
Of course, Shen Yi no longer completely relies on the Dibao Division to obtain intelligence.
After all, outside the court, he had Xu Fu, a wealthy man, working for him. In Fuzhou in the southeast, he also had a brother-in-law who was also working for the Shenhou Mansion, openly or secretly.
After reading through several documents, Mr. Shen walked to the window and looked up at the moon in the sky.
At this time, the moon was at its zenith, and the moonlight of the half-full moon spread out, shining on Shen Yi's face, illuminating a corner of Shen Yi's study room in moonlight white, reflecting the shadow of Master Shen.
Shen Yi looked at the moon in the sky, was silent for a moment, and then sighed slightly.
What Hong Dedi did...
Or in other words, everything he did in the past one or two years revealed two words.
impatient.
Whether it was moving the capital or starting to establish checks and balances in the court, it was all filled with impatience.
But Emperor Hongde was not originally of this character.
When Shen Yi advocated the Northern Expedition, he was somewhat hesitant and at one point thought of asking Shen Yi to wait for two more years.
After the success of the Northern Expedition, Emperor Hong De spent a full ten years recuperating and trying his best to restore the country's strength.
And in just these one or two years, he seemed to want to do everything he could.
Think about this.
Shen Yi suddenly remembered something.
Last year, Shen Yuan returned to Yanjing from Jiankang and brought him the news that Empress Dowager Sun was seriously ill. However, Shen Yuan was late for fun and was delayed on the road for two months.
In other words, Shen Yi arrived in Jiankang almost two months late.
And Empress Dowager Sun is still alive.
It happened that not long after Shen Yi arrived in Jiankang, Empress Dowager Sun's condition worsened and she passed away.
Thinking of the chain reaction caused by the illness of Empress Dowager Sun, and thinking of the last words of Empress Dowager Sun before her deathbed, forcing the emperor to appoint a crown prince...
Empress Dowager Sun...forced the Emperor to appoint a crown prince, which the court desperately needed.
And if the emperor wanted to successfully move the capital at that time, he urgently needed the crown prince to stand up and express his position, and Shen Yi to be present to support him, so that the relocation of the capital could proceed smoothly!
During her lifetime, Empress Dowager Sun was opposed to moving the capital.
After her death, the emperor appointed a crown prince. The prerequisite for the emperor to appoint a crown prince was to let the crown prince express his attitude of advocating the relocation of the capital at the court meeting. Only then was the document appointing the crown prince issued!
That is to say...
Everything that has happened in the past one or two years started with the death of Empress Dowager Sun!
Thinking of this, Mr. Shen seemed to realize that someone was staring at him from behind. He turned back suddenly, and all the hairs on his body stood up!
There was no one behind him, only the faint flickering candlelight in the study.
Cold sweat instantly soaked his back.
Mr. Shen staggered back to his seat, buried his head in his arms, and muttered to himself.
"No, no... Impossible."
"No matter what, it's impossible to kill my mother. It's impossible..."
After whispering a few words, Shen Yi raised his head and looked at the flickering candlelight in front of him.
"What if... What if his health suddenly deteriorates to a certain extent, what if he thinks that he will die before the Queen Mother... What if..."
"Empress Dowager Sun became the biggest stumbling block to his political goals..."
Mr. Shen felt a little numb all over, but he still shook his head and rejected his own rebellious idea.
When Empress Dowager Sun passed away, he was beside the Emperor. The Emperor was extremely sad and cried inconsolably. It was definitely not an act.
Yes.
Shen Yi took several deep breaths before muttering, "At most..."
He whispered: "At most, the Queen Mother is already ill. He pushed gently, at most..."
As he was muttering to this, he suddenly heard footsteps behind Shen Yi.
Mr. Shen was startled and turned back suddenly.
"What is a man muttering about?"
Lu Ruoxi's gentle voice came, and she held a bowl of hot soup in her hand and placed it in front of Shen Yi.
"Ask the kitchen to make you some chicken soup. Drink it while it's hot. You've been so busy lately. Don't overwork yourself."
"what."
Lu Ruoxi looked up at Shen Yi and asked curiously, "Why are you sweating? Is it so hot in this study? Should I ask someone to bring some ice in?"
Shen Yi shook his head silently.
"I'm out of the way."
He leaned back in his chair, looking at the chicken soup in front of him, and had no appetite at all.
"I haven't been home much these past two days..."
Shen Yi looked at his wife who was wiping his sweat and asked, "Has the fourth son of the Li family been here?"
"I'm here, why didn't you come?"
Lu Ruoxi smiled softly and said, "But our Sangsang didn't see him. The child was at home and played with Ji'er for an entire afternoon before leaving."
"He is a prince, and it is not easy for me to chase him away."
Shen Yi nodded, took a deep breath, and looked at the chicken soup on the table again, and felt cold all over.
………………
Mr. Shen is sick and has a high fever.
When he was young, he went to the southeast to suppress the Japanese pirates as a Hanlin. After that, he spent more than ten years in the army and even learned a lot of kung fu to strengthen his body.
In short, he was definitely the most capable fighter among the civil servants and the most cultured general.
Because of this, Shen Yi's physical condition has been quite good for the past twenty years and he rarely gets sick.
This time, the illness came on very quickly. Mr. Shen lay in bed wrapped in a quilt, still feeling cold all over.
All the children of the Shen family came to visit, and in the end it was the young marquis who stayed by Shen Yi's bedside.
After everyone in the room left, Shen Yuan stepped forward and touched his father's burning forehead, worriedly saying, "Dad, why did you suddenly get sick?"
"Is it because there are too many things to do in the Governor's Office that have exhausted you? If not, please write a letter to resign from the Governor's Office and have a good rest at home for a while."
Master Shen closed his eyes, and had no strength in his body. He opened his eyes, looked at his son, and shook his head and said, "Dad is fine, just rest for a few days, and he will be fine. This is the job for the Governor's Office."
"In the next one or two years, your father has to do it. No one else can do it, and no one else has the ability to do it."
"All right."
Shen Yi said silently: "Dad wants to be alone for a while, you can go out too."
"Yes."
Shen Yuan nodded and said, "Sangsang is making medicine for you outside. I'll bring it in for you when it's ready. Don't forget to drink it."
Shen Yi nodded again and forced a smile on his face: "It's just a cold, don't worry too much, just go and do your own thing."
Shen Yuan stood up, looked at his father lying on the bed, and whispered, "Then Dad, you should have a good rest."
After the young marquis left, Mr. Shen wrapped himself tightly in the quilt again, but still felt a little cold.
At noon, Ye Chan came to the bedside and served him a meal. While feeding him, she whispered, "Master, several princes came this morning. They said they heard you were ill and wanted to visit you. Do you want to meet them?"
"How did it spread so fast?"
Shen Yi shook his head and said, "Tell them that I am very sick."
"No one can see it for the time being."
Ye Chan nodded gently. After thinking for a moment, she said softly, "Also, Minister Zhou from the Ministry of Justice is here too. He said he must see you and is waiting at home."
Shen Yi frowned slightly when he heard this. He regained some energy and said slowly, "Wait until this afternoon and ask him to come see me."
Ye Chan responded: "Okay."
In the afternoon, Zhou Yuanlang carefully pushed open the door of Shen Yi's bedroom, then bent over and walked to Shen Yi's bed with a respectful look on his face.
"Master Hou."
Shen Yi forced himself to open his eyes: "I am seriously ill, so I won't return the gift to Minister Zhou."
"Master Hou..."
Zhou Yuanlang looked at Shen Yi pitifully, almost about to cry: "What's wrong with you?"
Seeing his filial son and grandson, Mr. Shen just found it a little funny, but he was not in high spirits now, and said lazily: "I'm sick, everyone gets sick..."
"Master Hou..."
Zhou Yuanlang squatted on the ground and looked at Shen Yi, frowning: "Are you really sick..."
Mr. Shen was too lazy to pay attention to him: "What else?"
Zhou Yuanlang wanted to cry but had no tears. He almost sat down on the ground: "Your Majesty asked me to come and see you, Lord..."
He sighed and said honestly: "Your Majesty is going to promote me to a higher position."
Minister Zhou looked at Shen Yi pitifully.
"If you pretend to be sick, my promotion may be in vain..."
I'm recommending a new book by an old author. Friends who are interested can go and have a look~
