Chapter 600: Canonization
Hearing this, Shang Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and the Shens and his wife looked at each other and immediately smiled with relief.
Only Shen Wuzheng, his eyes darkened.
But no one said anything immediately. After Shang Ruyi came back to his senses, his cheeks became warm unconsciously, but he also felt even more strange - Yu Wenye's attitude towards her in the side hall yesterday was clearly something to say. She could not show off her coldness, and when she returned to the Shen family this time, in addition to coming back to visit her uncle and aunt and taking this opportunity to reunite, she also wanted to separate temporarily so that the two of them could calm down, as if it was unclear and unclear. Survive the mood of hostility.
Unexpectedly, Yu Wenye had someone pick him up early in the morning.
It's as if... I can't live without him for a moment.
Thinking of this, he looked up at the smiling Yu, his cheeks turned redder, and he stood up hastily: "Uncle, aunt, brother, I will go back first."
< br>"Okay,"
Yu nodded with satisfaction. The relationship between this young couple is so good, and it is something worth reassuring for them. Yu smiled and said: "We will send you off."
Shang Ruyi said hurriedly: "No need."
As an elder, you shouldn't send off your juniors like this, but if Yu is willing to listen, you must persist.
The two sides were tugging at each other, and suddenly, another boy ran in from outside. He looked panicked, even more anxious than the one before, and said breathlessly: "Master, madam, young master..."
< br>Shen Shiyan frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"
The boy said in a trembling voice: "Holy, the imperial edict is here."
"What!?"
br>
As soon as they heard the word imperial edict, everyone in the room was stunned for a moment, but they were not too surprised by what was already within reason. Shen Shiyan immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly greeted: "Quick, quick Go out and receive the order."
Yu nodded repeatedly and helped Shen Shiyan tidy up his clothes as he walked out.
Shang Ruyi also walked out.
Only Shen Wuzheng had the calmest expression on his face, but when he saw everyone rushing out to greet him, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was keenly aware of something.
However, he didn't say much and just walked out with everyone.
As soon as he walked into the courtyard, a familiar figure led a group of guards in. The guards were divided into two rows and lined up neatly on both sides of the courtyard. The chamberlain slowly walked forward. Shang Ruyi looked up and was shocked. The eyes widened.
“Eunuch Jade!?”
The person in front of her wearing official uniform and holding an imperial edict is none other than someone she has known for a long time. After experiencing the Jiangdu Palace Incident, Yu Mingli finally returned to Chang'an City and stayed with Empress Dowager Jiang walking around!
He actually came to preach the imperial edict again?
Now, although Yu Wenyuan has not officially ascended the throne, he has already begun to execute the emperor's imperial decrees, and the imperial edicts are naturally his. In other words, Eunuch Yu has now been retained in the palace and is serving the emperor again. Got it!
So he is——
The moment of shock passed, Shang Ruyi finally came back to his senses, and saw Eunuch Yu coming forward. The moment he saw that she was also in the Shen family, she was white and fat. There was also a trace of surprise on his face He had a strange look on his face, but he couldn't say much at the moment. He just raised his head, holding the bright yellow scroll in both hands, and said loudly: "Shen Shiyan and Shen Wuzheng accept the order!"
Hearing these words, everyone Another surprise.
I thought that the emperor’s decree was for Shen Shiyan. After all, Shen Shiyan was a major contributor to Yu Wenye’s ascension to the throne. In addition to the rewards in the court, there should be some other rewards, so just now Although I was a little surprised to hear that the imperial edict was coming, I was not surprised.
But, the imperial edict was still issued to Shen Wuzheng?
Although they were surprised, everyone did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly knelt down to receive the order. Eunuch Yu slowly unfolded the imperial edict and declared loudly: "I have given an edict to Zhongshumen: Shen Shiyan, the Minister of Liturgy, has a clear mind and a clear mind. He deeply cared about me and was granted the title of Shangshu Youpushe; his son Shen Wuzheng He is a man of great learning, broad-minded, capable of being a capable general, and has the ability to illuminate things. He is a good minister who can bring troubles and help people in danger. He is specially appointed as the Weibei Road Marching Record Office to join the army. I admire this."
...
For a time, the entire Shen family became quiet.
Eunuch Yu did not rush him. He seemed to have known for a long time that this imperial edict would make them do this. After closing the scroll, he knelt on the ground and watched silently, bowing his head. He could not say a word at this moment. several people.
It is not surprising that Shen Shiyan was suddenly promoted from a small official to the right servant of Shangshu. After all, he was a major contributor to Yu Wenyuan's ascension to the throne. It would not be an exaggeration to be given the title of Duke. Therefore, they did not confer such a title, probably because they did not want to follow the facts, but based on their understanding of Yu Wenyuan, they knew that Shen Shiyan would be rewarded in the future.
The strange thing is Shen Wuzheng.
Without any warning, Yu Wenyuan had not even formally met Shen Wuzheng, and suddenly added the title of canonization to his father after the imperial edict. The words used in the canonization were obviously full of praise. , but inexplicably, it makes people a little uneasy.
And - Weibei Road March Record Office to join the army?
If he wanted to be canonized, there were many official positions in the court suitable for Shen Wuzheng. Why did he choose this position?
Everyone was silent. In the end, Shen Wuzheng raised his head first. His expression remained normal, and even his pupils did not tremble with fear. He only said softly to Shen Shiyan, who was still a little stunned, "Father, take the order."
Hearing his voice, Shen Shiyan came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "Long live my emperor."
After saying that, he raised his hands to receive the imperial edict.
Eunuch Yu handed over the imperial edict, then raised his hand to salute, and said with a smile: "Master Shen, congratulations to you and your son."
Shen Shiyan was supported by Shen Wuzheng He slowly stood up. Although he was still in a daze, he still said politely and thoughtfully: "Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law. Please sit down and have some tea."
Eunuch Yu smiled and shook his head, and said: "Our family has no time to spare, and we have to return to the palace to reply. Let's save this tea for the future."
He also said this smoothly, even though he rejected Shen Shiyan. close, but the word "remain" leaves enough room. Shen Shiyan also understood that Yu Wenyuan's enthronement ceremony was the day after tomorrow, and he must have a lot of things to do. Since Eunuch Yu was left by his side, he was obviously a close confidant, and everything he had to do would naturally be entrusted to him.
He didn’t force himself to stay. He only looked back at Mr. Yu, who immediately took out a pile of thick things and handed them over. Shen Shiyan took the opportunity to hold Eunuch Yu’s hand: “I’ll see you off, Eunuch-in-law.”
“I don’t dare bother you.”
Obviously this is not the first time that Eunuch Yu has encountered such a thing. He took it without leaving a trace and Putting his hands into his sleeves, he politely declined Shen Shiyan's offer to see him off again. Seeing this, Shen Shiyan stopped insisting; however, when he turned around, he saw Shang Ruyi, who had been standing by thoughtfully, walking away. He came forward and said with a smile: "Eunuch Yu, it just so happens that I have to return to the Duke's Mansion. I will see your father-in-law off during this part of the way."
Eunuch Jade glanced at her and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'd like to thank you, Princess Qin."
After saying that, he walked out.
Shang Ruyi said goodbye softly to the Shens and his wife, especially Shen Wuzheng. Shen Wuzheng remained calm and just nodded to her, his cold eyes deepening a little deeper.
Shang Ruyi and Eunuch Yu walked out together.
The Shen Mansion is not too big, and the way out is not far, but both of them slowed down in unison, and Eunuch Yu winked without leaving any trace, and the guards were far away. Then, the two people were naturally given a chance to talk.
But Shang Ruyi walked in silence for several steps before saying softly: "Congratulations to Eunuch Yu."
Eunuch Yu didn't seem surprised that she would say such a "brainless" sentence , a smile appeared on his fat and white face, and he said: "Princess Qin, I am so happy."
Shang Ruyi was impressed by his ability to remain calm but keep all his emotions in his chest.
She recalled that when Jiangdu Palace changed, Yu Wenye single-handedly rushed into Jiangdu Palace to save herself. In such a critical and chaotic time, he did not forget to send people to the inner palace to rescue Eunuch Yu, and He brought him back to Chang'an in a covert manner, and later, at the Dayan Temple Dharma Assembly, when the officials were embarrassing him, he asked him to step in and save him at the last step.
At that time, Shang Ruyi guessed that Eunuch Yu might be Yu Wenye's person.
And it was only at this moment that she fully understood this matter -
Eunuch Yu was from Yu Wenyuan!
Thinking of this, while she was amazed, she also had a deeper shock. You must know that Eunuch Yu was the closest servant who followed Chu Yang. He even did not go to Jiangdu Palace before the incident. When he was in Jiangdu Palace, the person who was closest to Chu Yang was Eunuch Yu.
He is a close confidant of the emperor, almost the most trusted person besides Empress Dowager Jiang, Chu Ruoyan and Chu Chengfei.
Such a person was actually sent to Chu Yang by Yu Wenyuan.
It can be seen that while these juniors are still cautiously talking about his "big things" and "great causes", Yu Wenyuan has already thought about everything clearly, started to work on it, and even placed his own people in the most critical places.
When Eunuch Yu returned to Chang'an, he did not reveal his identity immediately and went to serve Yu Wenyuan. Instead, he went to the Queen Mother Jiang. Half of the reason may be that he had some feelings for his old master, and the other reason was that he had some feelings for his old master. Half of the reason should also be Yu Wenyuan's control and placement of the most important remaining royal members of the Chu Dynasty.
It was precisely because of Eunuch Yu that Empress Dowager Jiang could quickly arrange the escape route of Yanchun Palace, and it also made Chu Chengfei's abdication more logical and safer after his abdication.
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi sighed in his heart.
What Eunuch Yu is best at is observing words and expressions. He seemed to know the sigh in the heart of the newly promoted Princess Qin. He just smiled and said: "What the princess wants to say to our family should be more than just one sentence." Congratulations.”
"I have one more thing to ask my father-in-law."
"Oh? Princess, may I ask."
Shang Ruyi raised his head and looked forward, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty—— Father, why did you suddenly ennoble my brother?"
