meet again

Chapter 273
East Palace.

The prince and a group of officials of the East Palace are discussing matters.

It has been more than half a year since the crown prince was canonized. For more than half a year, His Royal Highness has been diligent in political affairs, shrewd and capable, and has won the hearts of the people.

Emperor Long'an saw it and felt relieved, and handed over most of the government affairs to the prince.

"At today's court meeting, Minister of the Ministry of War delivered a memorial." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said in a deep voice, "Jizhou suffered from drought for two consecutive years, and many people died of starvation. The imperial court allocated food and issued an order to relieve the disaster."

"The prefect of Jizhou was greedy for ink and linked up with local grain merchants to store up grain for huge profits, which resulted in a civil uprising."

"Thousands of people rushed into the government office and beat the prefect of Jizhou to death."

The death of the prefect of Jizhou is not a pity, but the following mess is extremely difficult to clean up.

The civil unrest in Jizhou intensified, and the local guards garrisoned failed to suppress the civil unrest, and followed suit.

The soldiers stationed in the guard station have not seen their military pay for more than half a year, and their military rations have also been severely withheld.When people are very hungry, their lives are almost lost, so there is no need to care about loyalty, filial piety and righteousness. Taking advantage of the civil disorder, these garrisons robbed the granary and official bank.

Now all officials, big and small, have been killed in Jizhou, and the chaos has become a mess.

The chaos in front of us must be suppressed with elite soldiers.Otherwise, it would be useless for the imperial court to send a new magistrate there.

Right now, what everyone wants to discuss is who to send to lead the army.

Yuan Hai is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he is very familiar with generals and generals in the army, so he quickly proposed a suitable candidate.

"His Royal Highness, I think it is most appropriate to send General He there."

General He is over forty this year, in his prime, brave and good at fighting.Moreover, this General He's wife is the direct daughter of a side branch of the Yuan family and the cousin of the Crown Princess.

His Royal Highness needs to employ people, but it is also the right thing to uphold and support one's own people.

Yuan Hai's proposal was supported by the officials.

The prince thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, let General He lead the troops to Jizhou. Tomorrow, I will go to the memorial."

Emperor Long'an handed over this matter to the prince for disposal, with the intention of letting the prince cultivate his confidant generals, and he would not reject the prince's memorial.

Wang Hai said in a low voice: "General He is the chief general, why don't His Highness choose another guard in brocade clothes to be the deputy general?"

This is also the most direct and simple way for the princes to train generals.Send the guards around you to lead the army, and after a few years of hard work and achievements in battle, you will be able to stand alone.

Yuan Hai took over the conversation: "Your Highness is surrounded by many personal guards, all young and brave, what is lacking is battlefield experience. I just don't know, who does His Highness intend to choose to go to Jizhou?"

A figure quickly flashed in the prince's mind.

There was another hesitation.

Shen You has just been married for three days.

He had granted Shen You a month's marriage leave before, and he seemed to feel sorry for Feng Shaojun for calling him back so early.

Moreover, the march was hard, and the battlefield was dangerous...

However, this is also the best opportunity to make a quick contribution and show off.

The subordinate officials stayed in the East Palace all day, and they knew very well who the most trusted personal guard of His Highness the Crown Prince was.

"Shen Wei is young and promising, with a calm temperament, he can be of great use."

"The minister also recommends the guard Shen."

Wang Hai was also full of praise for Shen You.

Not to mention anything else, just pointing at Shen You who sacrificed his life to save the crown prince, so he should support him a little bit.

Yuan Hai often went in and out of the Eastern Palace. He was both the prince's brother-in-law and the prince's in-laws, and his words carried the most weight: "Your Highness, don't hesitate, just let Shen You go! When the army comes back from a victorious battle, just give him the marriage leave."

His Royal Highness finally made up his mind and called Eunuch Yang to come in: "You send someone to Shen's mansion and pass on the orphan's instructions. Order Shen You to enter the palace tomorrow."

After a pause, he continued: "Let him bring his bride into the palace."

Eunuch Yang respectfully accepted the order.

……

Feng Shaojun and Shen You had dinner at Cui's residence before returning to Shen's residence.

"Silang, Young Master, you are back." Da Feng greeted him eagerly, and quickly whispered: "Half an hour ago, Eunuch Yang sent someone to deliver the crown prince's order to let you husband and wife enter the East Palace tomorrow. "

what?
Enter the East Palace?
Feng Shaojun and Shen You quickly looked at each other.

Shen You whispered: "Did the person just say this?"

Da Feng sighed: "Yes, if I ask again, I won't say anything. I guess there is something important, otherwise, you have only been married for three days, so you shouldn't be urging you to go back to the East Palace."

After a pause, he smiled and said, "Don't be too nervous. Since you are asking Shaojun to go with you, maybe I just want to meet you."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy with government affairs, but he doesn't have such leisure time.

Since it is a summons, there must be something.

Feng Shaojun knew it well, but he didn't say anything.Following Da Feng's voice, she said with a smile: "Auntie said yes. I will dress up carefully tomorrow morning, and go to the East Palace with Cousin You."

Also called Cousin Yu!

Da Feng joked with a smile: "We're all married now, so we should change our name to husband and wife."

Feng Shaojun immediately showed a shy smile, and shyly called out "Husband".

Shen You: "..."

Shen You's eyes dimmed suddenly, and he cleared his throat and said, "It's getting late, auntie, let's rest earlier!"

Da Feng is a person who has experienced it, so he sees through it without saying anything, and replied with a smile: "It's so late, I'm tired. You two have been busy all day, go back and rest too! Tomorrow you have to get up early to enter the palace."

This is a subtle reminder, don't delay getting up early tomorrow.

I don't know if the young couple understands or not.

……

I understand it.

It's just hard to restrain at the moment...

"Call me my husband again."

When the love~ was strong, Shen You's voice was also extremely low and hoarse.

Feng Shaojun's voice fluctuated from high to low, calling for his husband one after another.

Shen You couldn't bear it anymore, and it wasn't until the middle of the night that he calmed down a little.

The two fell asleep in each other's arms, whispering in a daze.

"You said, why did His Highness suddenly ask you to go back? Could it be that there is an errand for you?"

"should be."

"It's only been three days since we got married. We had a one-month wedding leave!"

There was a little dissatisfaction in Feng Shaojun's voice.

Shen You was a little helpless: "What's the matter, I'll find out tomorrow. Go to sleep first!"

Feng Shaojun was very tired.Lying on Shen You's chest, he soon fell asleep.

Shen You was also a little tired.In the past three days, he has spent a lot of energy.No wonder Shen Jiacheng's legs were trembling when he went to work after the wedding leave.

If it's been like this for a month, how can the market be stable?

The body wants to rest, but the mind is spinning non-stop, and it is difficult to fall asleep for a while.

That's all for him to go back to the East Palace!Why did His Royal Highness order Feng Shaojun to enter the East Palace?
Could it be that there is an errand for her?
wrong.Feng Shaojun is a secret agent, even if he sends an errand, it is also done secretly.He would never declare Feng Shaojun to go to the East Palace so openly.

After much deliberation, there is always something wrong.

Shen You was thinking silently, when he lowered his head, he saw his newly married wife sleeping soundly.

His eyes softened, and he leaned his head back.Two young couples, head to head, fell asleep together.
