Prince of Chaos

Chapter 451
The readers who watched the excitement were excited, this is a boa robe.

What an honor!

However, the wise man who saw the doorway had already begun to shake his head secretly, and quietly put away the gift he had prepared, and left with an excuse.

Shen Li stood there blankly, with hatred in his heart, and he almost broke his effort to nourish his energy.

Zhong Huamin felt the subtle changes in Shen Li's body, he also sighed in his heart, and then said goodbye to Shen Li politely.

After Zhong Huamin left, the content of the imperial decree seemed to have wings, and spread throughout the entire capital in an instant.

After many people heard the content of this imperial decree, some were pleasantly surprised, some were astonished, and some were furious, cursing the treacherous cabinet ministers in power and hindering Qing from entering the cabinet.

Shi Shixing, who was in the cabinet, sneezed without warning.

The sneeze made both Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping greet with concern: "What's wrong with Yuanfu?"

Shen Shixing tightened his collar, and then said: "Maybe it's because the temperature has dropped so badly these days, I've caught a cold. It's fine."

Wang Jiaping immediately expressed concern again: "Yuanfu's health is very important, and the operation of the court is inseparable from Yuanfu at the helm. If he is really unwell, Yuanfu can rest for a few days. It just so happens that Zhonghua will also join the cabinet at this time. He can also help Yuansuke a little."

Zhonghua is the character of Shen Li.

Wang Jiaping offended both Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue at the same time.

What does it mean that Zhonghua can help Yuanfu if he joins the cabinet?Could it be that Wang Xijue's second assistant has been mixed up?

Shen Shixing looked at Wang Jiaping, he looked at Wang Jiaping calmly, and then suddenly smiled, "Is this pavilion getting old?"

This smile startled Wang Jiaping, and Wang Jiaping quickly replied: "What is Yuanfu talking about? If Yuanfu is old, wouldn't we all be old too?"

Wang Jiaping, Wang Xijue and Shen Shixing are not much different in age, they are all between a few years old.On the contrary, Shen Li who was told by Wang Jiaping to join the cabinet was the oldest.

Shen Shixing pretended to sigh and said: "We are all old. If it weren't for the emperor's grace, how could our old bones still stay in the cabinet. Shen Guide is five years older than this cabinet. I'm worried that he won't be able to support the busy government affairs in the cabinet."

After all, Shen Shixing pretended to cough twice, and the whole scene was really awkward.

Wang Xijue looked at Shen Shixing, and it was rare for him to say a good word, "Yuanfu was able to control the center for more than ten years because Yuanfu was mature and prudent, and he was known for seeking the country. Grow."

Especially when it came to making progress, Wang Xijue took a special look at Wang Jiaping, Wang Jiaping was really embarrassed to the extreme.

However, Wang Jiaping still had hope in his heart at this time. He was still thinking about Shen Li's entry into the cabinet. After Shen Li entered the cabinet, he would not be the bottom of the cabinet. made its own voice.

Therefore, at this moment, Wang Jiaping also had the right to pretend that he didn't see or hear Wang Xijue's words and eyes.

At this time, Zhou Bingzhong from Zhongshushe came in.

After Zhou Bingzhong entered the cabinet, he saluted Shen Shixing first, and then greeted the other two cabinet bosses.

Then he said: "Yuanfu, something serious happened!"

Shen Shixing looked at the excited Zhou Bingzhong, he frowned and said, "Why panic? What happened? Could it be that the sky is falling?"

Zhou Bingzhong quickly confessed his guilt, and then sorted out his train of thought and said, "Your Majesty has just received news from the Jingjiao Station. Some people say that Zhong Lianzheng did not mention Mr. Shen's entry into the cabinet in the edict of the Jingjiao Station."

"what?"

Wang Jiaping stood up immediately, and he looked at Zhou Bingzhong in disbelief, his eyes seemed to be questioning Zhou Bingzhong's lies to confuse the crowd!

"Shen Guide didn't join the cabinet?"

Wang Xijue asked a confirmation later.

At this time, Zhou Bingzhong turned to Wang Xijue and said, "Return to Cifu, it is reported that Mr. Shen has not joined the cabinet."

Wang Xijue's mood immediately became excited, and he said directly: "Go and confirm."

Having said that, everyone present knew that the news should not be wrong.

Zhou Bingzhong hastily left the cabinet again.

At this time, Shen Shixing spoke, and Shen Shixing was really refreshed at the moment.

"Brother Guide is so lucky. He was bestowed with python robes by the emperor and His Royal Highness without entering the cabinet. If he enters the cabinet again in the future, he must be the chief assistant. I want to congratulate him."

What Shen Shixing said made him so angry that he would not pay for his life.

The smile on Wang Jiaping's face at the moment was forced, and he said, "Yuan Fu promoted Shen Guide. How could Shen Guide, who is almost seventy, replace Yuan Fu?"

At this time, Shen Li changed from "Zhonghua" to "Shen Guide" in Wang Jiaping's mouth. It can be seen that the speed of this person's turnaround is really fast, so fast that it is dizzying.

Shen Shixing looked at Wang Jiaping, and he said: "Okay, let's stop talking about these gossips. Who can join the cabinet? These are matters that can only be considered by the emperor and His Highness, not for ordinary people. What our cabinet can do, Just do your duty well, and His Royal Highness the Prime Minister will take good care of Daming, even if you are worthy of the emperor and the ancestors."

Wang Jiaping was educated by Shen Shixing in this way, and he could only admit it bitterly, and then replied: "What Yuan Fu taught me is that I must remember it."

Post house in the suburbs of Beijing.

Shen Li has already returned to his guest room at this moment, he declined everyone's congratulations, and did not meet any old disciples.

Shen Li stood in front of the fitting mirror in a depressed mood. Looking at himself in the mirror, he felt like a clown.

Shen De was holding the python robe bestowed by the imperial court, his eyes were full of joy, especially when he touched the python pattern embroidered with gold thread on the robe, he was really very happy in his heart.

He really didn't expect his master to have such an honor, to be rewarded with a boa robe from the imperial court, this is a great reward!
"Master, I will serve you to put on this boa robe."

Shen De didn't notice at all that his master's mood had already turned into a ball of suppressed anger.

Shen Li turned to look at Shen De, his eyes were stern, making Shen De shrink back in fright.

Shen De didn't know what he did wrong.

However, out of restraint, Shen Li did not reprimand this old slave who had been with him for decades.

Shen Li didn't speak, but Shen De said cautiously: "Master, it's time for you to go to the palace to thank you."

Shen Li really couldn't bear it anymore, the white palms under his official sleeves were clenched until the knuckles turned white.

In the end, Shen Li still took a deep breath, and said, "I see."

Then, he said to Shen De: "From today on, you should return to De's hometown."

When Shen De heard Shen Li's words, he knelt down in fright, and said in tears: "Master, I know I was wrong, please don't drive me back. I still have to stay by my side to serve you. If you can't If you stay by the master's side, the villain would rather die."

Shen Li was unmoved, he walked out of the room directly, leaving only Shen De in the room kneeling and hugging the python robe, crying at the top of his lungs, "Master."

In the end, Shen De still failed to call Shen Li back.

Shen De's heart died suddenly, he was like a walking corpse that lost his soul, he mechanically got up and put Shen Li's python robe in the middle of Shen Li's desk, and then he left.

Shen De returned to his room. He looked at the beams in the house, and a cloudy old tear flowed from the corner of his eyes.

Shen De untied his belt, stood on the square chair directly under the beam, and threw it with his hand, and one end of his belt passed through the beam accurately, and then fell into his hand again.

Shen De tied the knot, and then, with longing in his eyes, he looked into the distance again.

"Master, the villain is gone, you have to take care of yourself in the future."

After saying that, Shen De stared hard at his feet, and the square stool under his feet fell to the ground.

His body was like a candle in the wind, wandering back and forth a few times in the air, and then stopped moving.

Shen Li left the post house with depression, he got into a carriage directly, and then directly ordered: "Go to the palace."

The carriage headed towards the Forbidden City without turning back.

Shen Li sat in the car, his heart trembled for no reason, and then, he seemed to see Shen De smiling at him.

However, Shen Li was getting angry, he snorted, then closed his eyes, never thinking about this old slave who had served him for decades.

The carriage galloped all the way until it stopped in front of Miyagi.

Shen Li got off the car, and said to the guards guarding the palace gate: "I am Shen Li, and I am going to the palace to thank you."

After finishing speaking, Shen Li took out the imperial decree and showed it to the guards.

The guard glanced at Shen Li, and he said: "Master Shen, please, Your Highness has already ordered that as long as Master Shen comes, you can enter the palace directly without notification."

When Shen Li heard that the crown prince had already ordered the guards of the palace gate, his depressed mood finally improved a bit.

Shen Li bowed in the direction of Ciqing Palace: "Thank you, Your Highness, old minister."

Then, a small internal official who had been waiting behind the palace gate took Shen Li directly to Ciqing Palace.

At this moment, Zhu Changluo happened to be fine.He was waiting for Shen Li, Shen Guide, the long-renowned Qingliu leader, in the Ciqing Palace.

He just wanted to see if Shen Li was really as good as Emperor Wanli's evaluation of him in the original historical time and space, "Heaven and earth are upright, Yiluozhen Confucianism".

Shen Li was quickly taken to Ciqing Palace.

When he saw the gate of Ciqing Palace, Shen Li was extremely excited.

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still the eldest son of the emperor, Shen Li was extremely concerned. He would often go to Shu and persuade Emperor Wanli to establish the country early and enshrine the eldest son as the crown prince. Therefore, at that time, Emperor Wanli was not particularly welcome. He often changes ways to avoid seeing him.

Unexpectedly, just a few years after he left Beijing, Emperor Wanli finally thought it through.

The eldest son of the emperor was registered as the crown prince.

Shen Li, who was working in Nanjing, heard the news. He was so excited that he didn't sleep for several days and nights. Country.

Now, he finally came back, and finally he was going to see the real face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Shen Li's mood was really extremely excited, he had been thinking about this moment day and night for so many days.

Now it's finally happening.

Soon there was an internal official singing "Hey" in Ciqing Palace.

"Xuan Shen carp enters the palace."

After Shen Li heard this line, he stepped into the gate of Ciqing Palace excitedly, and then walked on a section of white marble steps to the front of the main hall of Ciqing Palace.

Zhu Changluo was sitting on a large armchair similar to a dragon chair above the main hall, and he was still reading a memorial in his hand at the moment, but when he noticed a figure appearing in front of the hall door, he took the After putting down the memorial in his hand, he looked up.

Shen Li finally saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince whom he had been thinking about day and night, and after entering the hall excitedly, he knelt down on the gold bricks in the hall and bowed deeply to Zhu Changluo.

"Chen Chenli sees Your Highness, may Your Highness live a thousand years!"

Zhu Changluo got up at the right time, and then walked in front of Shen Li, he said "surprised", "Mr. Shen, please get up quickly."

Shen Li stood up and looked at Zhu Changluo. He said with tears running down his face, "Your Highness has grown up. When I left Beijing, Your Highness was not even close to my chest. Now I am even taller than you."

Zhu Changluo looked at Shen Li, and he said, "It's also a great joy to see Mr. Shen today. Come and give me a seat."

Shen Li was flattered when he heard the word "grant a seat", he really didn't expect His Highness to be so courteous and virtuous as a corporal.

"I dare not."

Shen Li immediately resigned modestly.

Zhu Changluo said: "Mr. Shen is the righteousness of the court. If the father knows that you came to Gu and did not give you a seat, the father will also blame Gu for not respecting veterans."

When Shen Li heard this, he said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for giving me a seat."

If, at this time, if Shen Li knew that all foreign ministers who came to Ciqing Palace were given seats, his expression at this moment must be very exciting.

After Shen Li sat down, Zhu Changluo also returned to his seat, looking down at Shen Li.

Zhu Changluo said: "Mr. Shen, I remember that I have already given you a python robe, why didn't you see him wear it?"

Zhu Changluo's first sentence was a crit, which made Shen Li a little uncomfortable.

However, no matter who Shen Li is, such a small scene is nothing.

Shen Li replied: "The boa robe is noble, but the minister is old and crippled, and he is ashamed of not making any contribution to the imperial court. That's why I didn't dare to wear the boa robe."

Zhu Changluo said: "Mr. Shen, what are you talking about? Mr. Shen is a loyal person, and he is well-known in the government and the public. When he was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, Shi Chang persuaded his father and emperor to criticize the current problems. Moreover, I only remember that Mr. Shen was always thinking about the country at that time, and went to the court many times. Father Shu established the foundation of the country early on. These are of great merit to the court. The mang robe is worthy of you, sir."

When Shen Li heard Zhu Changluo talk about his achievements, he was really moved beyond words.

"I am ashamed."

Zhu Changluo said: "Mr. Shen doesn't have to be self-effacing. Mr. Shen's strength of character is well-known in the government and the public. Mr. Shen is also deeply gratified when he returns to Beijing this time. Now that he is alone and has heavy responsibilities, he has free energy. Although he has been carrying the affairs of the clan, but , I can't always cover everything. Therefore, I just hope that Mr. Shen can help me temporarily manage the clan affairs."

Shen Li was silent for a while. . .
