Shang Junlin's feet paused, and he could clearly feel the tenseness of the man's body. He leaned on the man's shoulder and laughed lowly.
Shang Junlin said lightly: "Don't make trouble."
The young man on the side opened his eyes wide and stared blankly at the scene in front of him: "You are..."
After all, Shen Yu remembered not to teach children badly, the words twitched around his mouth a few times, but he didn't say it out of his mouth.
"Is your relationship the same as His Majesty's?" The boy didn't dare to stare at them all the time, he lowered his head and walked forward. He was young and couldn't hide his curiosity. After walking for a while, he still couldn't help asking. Voice.
Shen Yu became interested, leaned on the man's shoulder, turned to look at the boy: "Then tell me, what is the relationship between Your Majesty and Your Majesty?"
"It's...very loving. Your Majesty doesn't want other people for Your Majesty's sake, and you don't allow others to bully Your Majesty. When I grow up, I will be like Your Majesty. Only marry the person I like, protect her well, and don't let anyone bully her." Her." The young man said seriously.
"Good ambition," Shen Yu was amused, "You will definitely be able to achieve it in the future."
The young man's thoughts were affirmed, and the joy in his eyes could no longer be hidden: "I still want to be like Your Majesty, to be a general, to defend Dahuan, and to beat back all those who bully us."
"Then you will definitely become a mighty general in the future." He said gloomily.
The young man opened up the chatter box, and babbled about many heroic deeds of His Majesty, unaware that His Majesty himself was beside him, behind the back of the young man who was talking to him, silently listening to the conversation between the two.
Sullen suppressed a smile, and listened to the young man talk about the majesty in his heart. If the conditions did not allow it, he would like to ask the protagonist of the topic at this moment what he thinks in his heart.
The two kept talking, and arrived at the destination without knowing it. The boy stopped and pointed forward: "It's there, that's where we picked up the cup."
Among the woods ahead, there are some messy mounds, and there are obvious traces of being moved by people on the mounds.
Shen Yu patted Shang Junlin's shoulder: "Ah Lin, let me down first."
In front of outsiders, Shen Yu would naturally not call His Majesty Shang Junlin, and they did not reveal their true identities along the way.
Shang Junlin put Shen Yu down, and the two approached the mound. Shen Yu broke a branch from the side and poked in the soil.
"All the usable things in it were taken back by the villagers, and the rest are broken and unusable." Seeing the gloomy movements, the young man explained.
After digging for a while, Shen Yu saw some broken porcelain inside.
"Is no one wondering where these things come from?" Shen Yu asked, throwing the branch aside.
The conversation along the way gave Shen Yu a lot of affection in the young man's heart, and the young man knew everything about this young brother who recognized his ambition.
"Curious, there are so many good things, everyone is naturally curious. The village chief even specially organized people to go up the mountain to search for it, but unfortunately nothing was found."
They walked around, but found nothing.
But it is not normal for these royal objects to appear here, leaving some hidden dragon guards to continue to investigate, and Shen Yu and Shang Junlin went down the mountain under the leadership of the young man.
It took several hours to go back and forth. After going down the mountain, the road surface was almost dry. At this time, Shen Yu and Shang Junlin should have set foot on the road back to Beijing again, but both of them were more concerned about the sudden appearance of the royal thing , and did not leave immediately.
After going up the mountain, the clothes were soiled, so the two changed their clothes and sat down in the house.
"Is there any connection between this batch of objects for imperial use and what Master Zeng said before?" After thinking about it deeply, he felt that the objects for imperial use should not suddenly appear here.
This village is very ordinary, and the answer given by Yinlongwei will not be wrong. The things used by the emperor will be properly kept after being archived. Even if they are rewarded, they will be recorded in the book. Responsible for this area. During the severe drought in Subei, the Ministry of Households reorganized the collections in the treasury. If there were any omissions or missing items, they should have known.
Since there is none, it means that there is nothing wrong with the things in the treasury, so these things can only be revealed before Shang Junlin ascended the throne.
"Teacher Zeng explained that the missing batch of imperial courts have been found. According to him, there should be a batch of wandering outside. Regardless of whether the ones encountered here are real or not, we need to find out what's going on."
In order not to disturb others, Shang Junlin did not notify the local government, and the matter of finding the whereabouts was handed over to Yin Longwei.
Two days later, Yinlongwei came to report and they found out his whereabouts.
It was a cave hidden in the hinterland of the mountain range. Perhaps due to the perennial heavy rain, the cave was somewhat damaged. Some of the caves hidden inside flowed out mixed with mud, and they were just discovered by the people of that village.
Shen Yu and Shang Junlin stood in the cave, speechless for a moment.
In front of them were boxes of different sizes, some of which had been opened by Yinlongwei, revealing the contents inside.
What came into view was boxes of jewels, most of which were gold and silver. Shen Yu randomly picked up one of the gems, and it can be seen that the quality is high.
"I didn't expect to find such a place to hide from the rain at random, and I can get such a harvest." Shen Yu put down the gem in his hand and sighed.
This incident completely exceeded Shang Junlin's expectations. He sent people to search for another batch of property that the late emperor might have left behind in various places in Dahuan. Unexpectedly, in the end, they found it by mistake.
"As expected, Ah Yu is my lucky star." Shang Junlin sighed.
"Why does His Majesty say that?"
Shang Junlin shook his head, but did not answer.
If it wasn't for his worried and gloomy body, even if it was raining, Shang Junlin would not have found a place to stay overnight, or he would have missed the village and everything that happened afterwards.
The weather cleared up, and they still had important things to do when they returned to Beijing, so they didn't stay here for long, leaving some Yinlong guards in place, Shang Junlin and Shen Yu embarked on the road back to Beijing.
After the matter in the capital is settled, someone will be sent to deal with these properties.
"This time the Minister of the Household Department has a good time." In the carriage, Shen Yu put down the opened curtain and said.
The last time when Taifu Zeng’s property was confiscated, the Secretary of the Household Department was excited for several days, and he generously allocated a lot of money out. During that time, all the places where the court had to spend money were brought up, and there was a lot of excitement for a while. Extraordinary, the ministers all sighed with emotion, if only the Minister of the Household Department could always speak so easily.
Shang Junlin didn't know what he was thinking, and didn't respond immediately.
The carriage traveled all the way, this time they didn't stop halfway, and went directly to a small town very close to the capital.
They received a message from the prime minister that the capital is about to storm.
This time, even the people in the capital can faintly feel that something is wrong.
"The temperature has dropped, have your Majesty and Your Majesty returned to Beijing yet?"
"Yeah, I wouldn't have stayed outside for so long in previous years. If you count the time, it's been almost three months."
"Isn't it that His Majesty and Your Majesty are living a two-person world outside, and don't want to leave?"
"It's the same when you go back to Beijing. Life in the palace isn't worse than that in the palace, right?"
"I have a cousin who works at Mr. Fang's house. He said that Mr. Fang has not contacted the family for a long time."
"Something may have delayed it."
"More than that, other adults have also been worried recently. I don't know if you have noticed that the Prime Minister has recently started to live in seclusion."
"I see that some adults are very active. Two days ago, there was a wedding banquet at the adults' home. Many adults were invited to the banquet, and the Prime Minister also went."
What the common people can feel, the officials will only perceive more clearly. As time goes by, there is still no news from the palace, and many people can't sit still.
"What's the matter with His Majesty?"
"Is there any news?"
Careful officials found that some unknown changes had occurred. They didn't know what happened, so they could only observe carefully.
I don't know when the Prime Minister's sense of presence began to decrease. On the contrary, Mr. Duan's sense of presence is getting stronger and stronger. The balance between the family officials and the poor family officials maintained by Shang Junlin when he was in the court is faintly breaking. .
Several ministers who have a good relationship with the prime minister came to the prime minister's mansion to discuss countermeasures.
"Your Excellency, don't you know what happened? What do these family officials headed by Duan Daren want?"
Mengxue, which was originally being established, was stopped, and at the same time, some other ongoing policies were affected. The poor family was caught off guard by the officials of the aristocratic family who suddenly attacked, and gradually fell into a disadvantage.
"Aren't they afraid that His Majesty will go back to Beijing to ask questions if they do this? Or..."
He didn't say the rest, but everyone present knew what his unfinished words were.
Some family officials are so confident, do they know some inside information that they don't know? What is His Majesty's current state? What happened in the palace
One question after another hovered in their minds, and they couldn't figure out why it was just this time that something went wrong.
"I knew it would be like this, and I shouldn't have promised His Majesty to bring only this few people to the palace."
"Even if I don't agree, so what? How many times has your Majesty's decision been changed?"
This sentence is true, and the ministers all know that so far, there is probably only one depressed person who has the ability to persuade Shang Junlin to change his decision.
"I don't know what's going on with your lord. Is there any movement in Zhenbeihou's mansion?"
"No, speaking of it, isn't Zhenbei Hou a bit too quiet these days? He was walking around with many ministers before and wanted to return to the court, but now there seems to be no movement."
"The concubine of the Marquis of Zhenbei was convicted for wanting to harm the noble lord. I don't know how His Majesty plans to deal with the Marquis of Zhenbei."
Zhenbeihou was also very worried about his own ending, he could see how much the emperor valued his son-in-law, and he also knew that Shen Qingran's intention to hurt Shen Yu this time would not pass so easily.
How many people can bear the wrath of the emperor? If the knife hanging above his head doesn't fall down, Zhenbei Hou can't feel at ease for a day.
In Zhenbeihou's mansion, Zhenbeihou sat on the main seat in the study, and the people sitting below were his confidantes, and one of them said: "Master Hou should make a decision early."
"That's the only legitimate son of this Marquis..." Zhenbei Hou hesitated.
"If the Eldest Young Master and Lord Hou are of the same mind, Lord Hou naturally doesn't need to think about these things, but the Eldest Young Master is obviously not, and the Lord Hou should also think more about himself. No one knows whether the matter of the Second Young Master will involve Hou Ye. Grandpa." The confidant persuaded.
"Hou Ye, it's clear at a glance which is more important between Long Zhigong and a son who doesn't know if he is facing him or not."
