Chapter 942 Teach him a lesson
Shen Liuzhen was called into the palace.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the Nuan Pavilion, he saw Emperor Shi Yu Wulei sitting on the opposite side of the chessboard, holding a chess piece in his hand, frowning.

Shen Liuzhen slowed down and walked up to him step by step, before bowing and saluting, he said:
"Wei Chen greets His Majesty."

The emperor just woke up, turned his head to look at Shen Liuzhen, and asked with a smile:
"How's your body doing?"

"It's ready." Shen Liuzhen put down his hand and said with a smile.

When Emperor Ulei heard this, the smile on his face became sad again, and he said regretfully:

"It's okay to say yes. When the root cause of the disease has not been eliminated, I am really afraid that you will die young. At that time, I will not even have anyone to talk to."

Upon hearing this, Shen Liuzhen smiled sweetly, revealing the dimples on his face, walked to the opposite side of the emperor, sat down, and said:
"A good man doesn't pay for his life, but a scourge can live for thousands of years. Don't worry, Your Majesty. A Yuan said that I won't die so easily."

Emperor Ulei burst out laughing when he heard about it, covered his mouth with the back of his hand, looked at him with a pleasant smile in his deep eyes and said:

"The two of you, husband and wife, are really enough. Don't always show your affection in front of me in the future. My life is not going well, so I can't stand it."

Shen Liuzhen leaned forward and asked in a low voice:

"Your Majesty and Empress..."

The emperor took his words very casually and said:

"It's still the same. But I'm just joking. I'm really happy for you two. I'm really happy for you. Anyway, I don't lack women. It's a way to live like a guest with the queen... Living the life of an old couple in advance It's pretty good too."

Shen Liuzhen knew why the emperor was unhappy, but he still tilted his head and asked suspiciously:

"Then His Majesty was just... depressed, why?"

Emperor Shi Yu Wulei sighed deeply, threw back the chess piece in his hand, and said:

"...A few days ago, Hua Shi, the son of the Empress Dowager Bao, didn't know what was going on, so he submitted a memorial to please be crowned king. I didn't respond, so I pressed it and ignored him. But in the past two days, the Empress Dowager Bao sent letters every day, Said that when she raised me, her son was so pitiful... Said that because of their low status, they were always bullied by the ministers in the court."

When he said this, he raised his deep eyes to look at Shen Liuzhen.

Shen Liuzhen suddenly understood, raised his chin slightly as if in a daze, and asked:

"I'm not one of the ministers who bully them, am I?"

Emperor Ulei turned his head away, as if in a dilemma, he sighed and acquiesced.

Shen Liuzhen was overjoyed, but on the face he pretended to be very aggrieved, opened his eyes and stood up excitedly, saying:
"This is really unreasonable! You know why Mr. Hua Shi always pesters me, Your Majesty, what?! I don't let them bully me, but I bully them?!! Do I still have to treat myself Clean it up and send it to your door, so you don't count as bullying them!"

Emperor Ulay quickly reached out and pressed his arm, let him sit down, and comforted him and said:

"Don't get excited, Liu Zhen, I know you are right, don't worry. But the point is not this matter, I haven't finished my words yet."

Upon hearing this, Shen Liuzhen's excited expression slowly disappeared, and sat back obediently, with an appearance of listening attentively.

Emperor Ulay went on to say:

"The Empress Dowager Bao feels sorry for her son, I understand. Originally, I wanted to give them some property to appease them, and this matter is over. But who knows that many courtiers have also been involved. Recently, many Xianbei nobles in Beijing, whether they are there or not Those with real power, probably under the instigation of the Empress Dowager Bao, went up to speak for them and let me make Huashi the king. There are still a lot of people, and I feel... really uncomfortable."

Hearing this, Shen Liuzhen lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said calmly:
"Your Majesty has always treated the Empress Dowager differently. Many people who wanted to be promoted or escaped crimes all went through the way of the Empress Dowager. In the end, most of them got the sweetness, so it is normal to have the current situation. Speaking of it, It is Your Majesty who has nourished the power of the Empress Dowager Bao."

When Emperor Ulei heard this, his deep eyes flickered, and after a moment of silence, he said calmly:

"I understand. But I thought those small favors were harmless. As a courtier, I should know the meaning of being a king. How many people with great military exploits have never been treated like this in their entire lives. How can they speak for her? It's ridiculous."

Shen Liuzhen observed the emperor calmly for a while, and said cautiously:

"Your Majesty, I said something unpleasant. The so-called king has no jokes. In the eyes of outsiders, your small favors are all part of the decision-making. It may be that you are too tolerant of the Empress Dowager Bao, which caused those people to look down on you. , I thought that you would really continue to pamper you, and you might give Hua Shijun a king.

In this way, in order to better obtain exceptional favors from His Majesty in the future, it is natural to take the opportunity to win a favor from the Empress Dowager Bao.Anyway, even if you don't allow it, you won't punish them just because they speak for the Queen Mother. "

Shen Liuzhen's last sentence was light and light, but it made Emperor Wu Lei's heart tighten, and he said a little excitedly:
"Why do you think that I won't punish them? Such absurd remonstrance dares to be uttered. If I want to keep them in office to participate in the government, wouldn't it delay a major event!"

Shen Liuzhen's eyes were calm, and he asked calmly:
"Then His Majesty really intends to convict them all? ... On what charges?"

Emperor Shi Yu Wulei choked up suddenly.

It is really not a crime to write a memorial to persuade, and there are quite a few people, many of whom are still prestigious.He can punish any crime, at most reprimand a few words.

Ulay rolled his eyes angrily and fell silent.

Shen Liuzhen went on to say:

"Your Majesty...there is no end to human greed. Now the Empress Dowager Bao already wants her son to be the king, and she has nothing to fear. I am afraid she will want more in the future.

Even if His Majesty couldn't bear it, he should be punished a little to let them know where His Majesty's bottom line is.If Your Majesty continues to indulge, what will happen if the people around the Queen Mother use her to do something? "

Emperor Ulei was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Shen Liuzhen's eyes flickering, as if his thoughts were very intense.

This time Shen Liuzhen didn't speak anymore, just looked at him quietly and calmly, waiting for his decision.

Finally, Emperor Ulei opened his mouth, raised his hand to support his forehead, relaxed his tight brows, and said with determination:
"Aren't you in charge of the wind picker for me? Collect Huashi's inappropriateness and find a suitable crime. I want to punish him and teach him a lesson."

Shen Liuzhen tilted his head slightly, then stood up, raised his sleeves and saluted:

"Yes."
