Chapter 252
On the next day, Zhao Shun was on duty in the palace, tasting tea and playing chess with His Majesty in the imperial garden.

"Linchuan, how is the recent guard selection going?" His Majesty asked.

Zhao Shun sat up straight and replied, "Your Majesty..."

His Majesty waved his hand, "You and my nephew, why do you have to do this?"

Zhao Shun nodded lightly, "Uncle, after a series of selections, hundreds of soldiers have stood out, and after a series of assessments and training, they can enter as guards."

"Well. How many guards are there in the palaces of the princes? Have you counted them?" His Majesty asked.

"This...without the emperor's permission, my nephew took office as a new official, so I dare not go too far." Zhao Shun replied.

His Majesty dropped the chess piece at his fingertips on the chessboard, and said: "Last time you mentioned to me that the guards in the prince's mansion were also recorded and even dispatched by the big house. I think this is feasible. I'm just afraid, it's hard carry out."

"As long as there is an imperial decree from His Majesty, those who dare to disobey will be dealt with by the laws of the country. If someone refuses, it means that they have the intention of treason, and they can be punished for treason." Zhao Shun said.

"Well, it's just that the ruling and opposition parties are afraid of accidents. What do you think?"

"My nephew thinks, start with the registration and bookkeeping. If there is an increase in the number of people in each government, you must also ask for instructions and record the case. As for the dispatch, you can postpone it."

His Majesty picked up the teacup and thought about it carefully, "Well, it's okay to proceed step by step."

"Uncle...nephew has one more matter, I want to discuss with the uncle." Zhao Shun said.

"But it doesn't matter."

Zhao Shun stood up, clasped his fists in both hands, and said: "Your Majesty... on the day of the minister's wedding, there were mixed people. For the safety of the emperor, the stability of the government and the people, and the people's happiness, I would like to invite your majesty to sit in the palace and not to come in person."

"What? My nephew is married, and I, as an uncle, can't go and see?" His Majesty said.

"Your Majesty... Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Shun knelt down and said again: "Your Majesty, your safety is related to the safety of the people of Kyushu. I beg Your Majesty to think twice!"

"Linchuan, get up first."

Zhao Shun looked up at His Majesty, His Majesty has made up his mind, and it seems that there is no turning back.

"Sit down." His Majesty took a long breath, and said again: "Linchuan, Jiang Zhe-nian is in your house, you should know about my affairs, right?"

Zhao Shun didn't answer, but His Majesty also had an answer in his heart.

"I, Zhao Linchuan, are His Majesty's servant first, and then the emperor's nephew. No matter what my status is, I don't want His Majesty to be in danger. Your Majesty..."

"Needless to say." His Majesty interrupted Zhao Shun, "I know, you are a good boy."

After His Majesty finished speaking, he looked at the servants around him, and the servants told all the people to leave.

"Linchuan, my life is not long. I don't know that the crown prince is incompetent, but if he is easily deposed, it will still cause turmoil in the government and the public. Now, taking the opportunity of your wedding, I will go out to the palace. You can just take a look at those wolf ambitions." Who are the people here?" His Majesty said.

"Your Majesty...there are so many famous doctors in the world, I am willing to travel all over the country for Your Majesty." Zhao Shun said.

His Majesty shook his head, "Jiang Zhenian's medical skills are almost unmatched in the world, and this is my fate."

"Your Majesty, I will do my best to investigate, and those who poisoned His Majesty will be brought to justice!" Zhao Shun said again.

"That's all, who hurt me, I know who it is, I don't bother you. It's just Linchuan, you must protect your aunt. Yuhua has been with me for so many years, and it is I who made him wronged. I have already given up The secret edict has been handed over to my confidant, Grand Minister Fan Jichu, to make you the regent."

"His Majesty……"

Zhao Shun didn't care about the regent, he just wanted to assist his uncle in peace and stability.

"Although it is done in secret, it will still be suspected by those with a heart. Linchuan, besides the queen, Fan Jichu is your primary protection object."

"His Majesty……"

Zhao Shun's nose was a little sour. Seeing him bow his head in silence, His Majesty smiled.

"Linchuan, people are mortal. I know that your foolish father has not cared much about you for so many years, so don't hold grudges against him. Blood is thicker than water, you and Yi'er are brothers after all. "

Zhao Shun got up again and knelt down to salute, "Please rest assured, my uncle, no matter which prince succeeds in the future, my nephew will do my best to assist."

"Well, with your words, I feel relieved."

His Majesty picked up a wooden box from the side and handed it to him.

"Uncle, what is this?"

"In the second year after my death, I will give this to someone I owe. She is in Luoping City."

On the night before the big wedding, Zhao Shun invited Shen Qingshi to the garden and set up a banquet.

"My lord, tomorrow is the day of your wedding with Sisi, why did you invite the official over tonight?" Shen Qingshi was puzzled.

"Brother Qing Shi, I am about to marry the daughter-in-law of your mansion. From now on, Brother Qing Shi will be my brother-in-law. You and I are relatives, why should we be so distant? I invite Brother Qing Shi to come today mainly because I have an important matter to share with you." Merchant." Zhao Shun said.

"Your Highness is polite, but the lower officials don't dare to overstep, it doesn't matter if you just say it." Shen Qingshi said.

Zhao Shun smiled, it seems that it is not a short-term effort to please and get close to this second brother-in-law.

"Sigh... Tomorrow's big wedding, His Majesty and the Empress will go out to watch the ceremony in person. I have tried to persuade the emperor, but Your Majesty insists on coming. I'm afraid..."

"The prince is afraid that there are bad people who will harm His Majesty?"

Shen Qingshi frowned, if such a big event really happened, the situation on the day of the wedding would be in chaos, and both Linyuan and Shen's residence would suffer.

"To be honest, Taoist Xiu Yuan of Deqing Temple in Luoping City is a member of the Jiang clan. His name is Jiang Zhe-nian, and he is also my cousin. My cousin watched the sky at night. He had already calculated that His Majesty was in danger and informed His Majesty, but His Majesty Don't care, insist on attending my wedding banquet with Sisi."

"Tomorrow is the day of the big wedding, I'm afraid... If you want to stop His Majesty from going out now, it will be too late. We can only avoid it as much as possible and repel the bad guys." Shen Qingshi said.

"As the commander in front of the palace, it is my duty to protect His Majesty and the Queen. If something happens to His Majesty, I am afraid I will not escape the responsibility. Now I have ordered the guards in the palace to protect me all the way, and I have patrolled the capital many times. It's just...there is no trace of the villain, I'm afraid it's..."

"My lord thinks that this group of villains who are about to commit chaos are originally from the capital?"

"Yes."

Shen Qingshi had a delicate mind, and this matter was also closely related to the Shen residence, Zhao Shun discussed with him to protect the safety of the Shen residence.

"My lord... I have no more than [-] guards in Shen's mansion who know kung fu, and some of them are just a little bit fisty. I also ask the lord to help, and send some guards to station in Shen's mansion." Shen Qingshi said.

"Brother Qing Shi, don't worry, I will definitely let the patrols protect the Shen residence." Zhao Shun said.
