His Majesty returned to the palace, Shen Leng also took the time to go home, of course, it was not time, anyway, he had to go home anyway, he thought that after His Majesty returned to the palace, he would first bathe and change clothes, and then accept the congratulations of the courtiers, this process should not be short, thinking of this, Shen Leng couldn't hold back, and said to Dai Fangzhou that he was sick to his stomach and ran out of Weiyang Palace.

"I'm a little donkey, and no one rides it for a long time...... Phew, I have a little donkey that I never ride......"

Shen Leng hummed a song in his mouth and trotted into the carriage, eager to put wings on the horse, the coachman seemed to feel Shen Leng's eagerness, so the speed of the carriage was not slow, and Shen Leng didn't care so much when he ran to the door of the house, he expected that the tea master would boil hot water for himself in the side room and wait, and rushed in with a slap to open the door.

He turned around and closed the door and began to undress: "I'm here for my little mood." ”

A turn.

The house was empty.

His clothes were almost stripped off, and a cat raised by the tea master in the house squatted there and looked at him, looking frightened.

Shen Leng looked at himself, looked around again, and felt so cold.

Weiyang Palace, in the palace of Concubine Zhen.

The tea master sat in the side room, holding his chin in his hand, next to a large wooden bucket of water that was about to cool, looking at the petals in the bucket, and then touched his somewhat hot face, snorted, and muttered about this fool.

She thought that Shen Leng would guess that she must be waiting for him in the nearest place, thinking that the children were still on Concubine Zhen's side, Shen Leng would definitely run here directly, but she didn't think that the stupid boy didn't come.

So in order not to waste water, the tea master washed a fragrant fragrance by himself.

General's Palace.

Shen Leng looked depressed and fetched cold water from the well, this cold winter is that he has a surprisingly good physique, while washing and shivering, he also sang a song to cheer himself up, washed three times before washing his body, changed into a new set of clothes and went out in a hurry back to Weiyang Palace, on the road he woke up and realized how stupid he was, thinking that he might be stupid.

But the time was too late, returned to Weiyang Palace and went straight to the Taiji Palace, just outside the main hall, I saw Dai Fangzhou looking around outside the main hall door, Shen Leng trotted up, Dai Fangzhou saw him and shouted anxiously: "My grandfather, why are you so slow, the will has been read." ”

Shen Leng stopped: "Acting father-in-law, what did you call me just now?" ”

"Grandpa Guo?"

Dai Fangzhou said: "The slave maid has just finished reading the will in the main hall, Your Majesty and all the adults have not seen you, I have to say that you are not feeling well and go to Langzhong first, don't say it wrong when you get to the main hall for a while, oh yes, Your Majesty and Lord Lai and the cabinet have discussed it, and the title given to the grandfather is An...... An Guogong. ”

An Guo Gong, An Guo Gong, An Guo Gong...... Shen Leng shouted several times in his heart.

Shen Leng asked again shamelessly: "You just called my father?" ”

"Yes, Grandpa Guo, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's okay, shout again."

"Grandpa Guo!"

Shen Leng smiled, took off the jade pendant hanging on his belt and handed it to Dai Fangzhou: "Acting father-in-law's voice is really good." ”

After taking the jade pendant, Dai Fangzhou couldn't stop thanking Shen Leng: "Oh, my grandfather, alas, how embarrassing is this." ”

Then I put it away very preciously.

"An Guogong is back."

Dai Fangzhou ran into the main hall first and shouted, the eyes of the courtiers all moved over, staring at the door of the main hall, Shen Leng sorted out his clothes and strode forward, and after taking a few steps, he picked up his robe and knelt down: "Meet Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty, Long live Long live." ”

The Emperor laughed, "I let you."

What is the fault of the fact that you were not there when the decree was pronounced? Lai Cheng, look at how you should punish him. ”

Lai Cheng lowered his head and said: "The minister thinks that when the Duke of An Guo invites His Majesty to drink, the minister will accompany him." ”

The emperor laughed, and after laughing for a while, the emperor stood up, walked down from the high platform, and said as he walked: "When I just asked Dai Fang Zhou to announce the decree, some people felt that you were not qualified to become the prince of Daning, the reason is that since the founding of Daning, no one has been awarded the title of prince of the country at your age, and some people say that you are not meritorious enough, and some people say that you are not promoted too quickly is not good for you. ”

The emperor walked up to Shen Leng's side: "Is it cold or not?" ”

Shen Leng lowered his head: "It's not cold." ”

"Take your clothes off."

Shen Leng was stunned: "Huh? ”

The emperor looked at Shen Leng, Shen Leng didn't know what to do, but he didn't dare to disobey the emperor's order, so he had to take off the robe outside, but the emperor asked him to continue to take it off, and all the clothes on his upper body were taken off except for his pants, and when Shen Leng revealed the scar, everyone in the hall became silent.

"When was this injury?"

The Emperor asked, pointing to one of the scars.

"Back to Your Majesty, I don't remember."

The emperor was stunned, then pointed to another scar and asked, "What about here?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, I don't remember."

Shen Leng smiled a little embarrassedly.

The Emperor looked at Shen Leng's eyes, his eyes were already slightly red.

"He doesn't even remember."

The emperor looked at the courtiers: "If one of you is wounded in any of his bodies, will you remember?" You may boast about half your life with such a scar, point to the scar and tell your family, your children, have you seen it? This is for Daning to be injured on a battlefield somewhere, but Shen Leng didn't remember, didn't remember why? ”

The emperor paused: "He doesn't think it's a great thing, it's not greedy!" ”

Everyone looked at Shen Leng in silence, looking at the criss-crossing scars.

"You said that Shen Leng was too young to be a prince, so I asked you, is it impossible to be an emperor when you are young?"

Who would dare to answer?

Although His Majesty was not too young when he ascended the throne, there are several people in the history of Daning who inherited the throne when they were teenagers, and there is one who inherited the throne at the age of seven.

"He saved my life."

The emperor glanced at the ministers: "Is this one reason enough?" Is this one credit enough? ”

Everyone bowed down.

The emperor snorted and returned his gaze to Shen Leng: "Put on your clothes, you must always remember in the future that the scars on your body are not ugly, they are glory!" ”

Shen Leng leaned over: "The minister remembers." ”

The emperor walked back to the dragon chair and sat down: "I know that you also love him, and I am afraid that he will be impetuous, and I also know that you just said what you should say, and I don't feel that Shen Leng is unworthy in my heart...... Therefore, there should be no more criticism on this matter, and no one can stop what I want to give. ”

The crown prince, who was standing on the side, glanced at Shen Leng and carefully hid the hatred in his eyes.

Just now, when Shen Leng had not yet arrived, Dai Fangzhou had already read out the will in the main hall, Shen Leng was promoted from the first-class Hou Jin Guogong, Xun to Zhuguo, and the general of the East China Sea Division.

In addition to Shen Leng, there are many people mentioned in the will, and this will has been prepared by His Majesty on the way back, and it was handed over to Lai Cheng and them for consideration, and there were slight changes, and there was no major change.

Wu Xinyu, the general of Northern Xinjiang, is already the second grade, and he defeated the camp of the Black Martial South Courtyard because he broke through the Yelu Plain

Gong, also by the title of the Duke of the country, the number of Han Guogong, Meng Chang'an was promoted to the second rank of the general of Dongjiang, Xun into the Zhu State, the first marquis, this will is very long, on behalf of the boat read out for two moments.

Among them, the most noteworthy thing is not that Shen Leng and Wu Xinyu were awarded the title of Duke of the Kingdom, but that Pei Tingshan, the former general of Eastern Xinjiang, was renamed the Duke of England, buried according to the rites of the county king, and the portrait entered the Fengying Hall.

In addition, the cabinet led the six ministries to jointly discuss the construction of a cemetery in Chang'an City, and His Majesty's military department counted the list of all the fallen soldiers in this northern expedition as soon as possible.

Shen Leng stood there and listened, just in time to see the old dean signaling to him, Shen Leng suddenly felt embarrassed.

At this moment, Shen Leng heard His Majesty mention Luojia Lake.

"You all know that I got the Emperor Chu's Imperial Sword a few years ago, this sword was given to me by Chu Jianlian, a descendant of the Chu Imperial Family, and you have probably all heard about it, Chu lost Luojia Lake, and I took it back, so I sank the Chu Emperor's sword in Luojia Lake, and ordered to repair the Chu Sword Platform in Luojia Mountain, and the sword was calm in Luojia Lake, Chu Huang has the heart to regain the lost land but has no power to regain the lost land, the sword is there, he can also see what the Luojia Lake looks like when it returns to the Central Plains."

The emperor got up: "In addition, I have sent someone to find a famous swordsmith, I want to cast a Daning Emperor Sword, and on the day this sword is cast, I will go to Lianshan Road Taishan to climb the mountain to pray for blessings." ”

He glanced at the ministers: "I am going to hold a banquet in Weiyang Palace tonight, I am waiting for you to toast me, I deserve your toast, so I will not refuse." ”

After saying this, the emperor glanced at the crown prince who was standing there with his head bowed, and turned to leave.

The ministers of the main hall did not disperse, many people walked over to Shen Leng to congratulate, Shen Leng returned the salute one by one, and behind the crowd, the prince looked at Shen Leng's smiling face and felt uncomfortable, and the more he looked at it, the more uncomfortable he became......

He had only one thought in his heart at this time, that is, regret, didn't he say that he would fight for three years? Even if you don't play for three years, you always have to have two years, why do you come back in one year? All his plans and arrangements had to be stopped, not only to stop, but to erase the traces of these things.

The prince looked at Shen Leng and snorted in his heart.

What are you proud of?!

Shen Leng finally had time to get out, walked up to the old dean and bowed: "Lord Dean." ”

The old dean snorted, looked at Shen Leng and couldn't help laughing: "I never doubted that you would become a model for Daning soldiers, and I never doubted that you could become a national prince, I like you everywhere, the only thing I have ever doubted......"

He smiled and said, "Is it because you have thick skin or not?" ”

Shen Leng smiled: "The dean said that it was thick, but the dean said that if it was not, there would be none." ”

He felt that it didn't matter: "It's all the same anyway." ”

The wrinkles on the dean's face were relaxed, and his face was kind, as if he was looking at his descendants.

"I want to give you a congratulatory gift, too."

The old dean asked, "What do you like?" ”

Shen Leng shook his head: "Lord Dean, don't bother to choose a gift...... How good it is to discount. ”

The old dean was stunned: "Sure enough, it's thick, and if it's not thick enough, I can't say this." ”

Shen Leng stretched out his hand: "The dean's words are difficult to chase, so give it now." ”

The old dean spread his hands: "When did I go out and bring silver?" ”

Shen Leng took out a pen and paper from his cuffs: "It's okay to write an IOU." ”

The old dean's eyes widened: "What are you doing with pen and paper!" ”

Shen Leng was serious: "It is a habit to bring pen and paper, and people who are studious are like this." ”

He turned out the ink: "Come, remember to press a handprint after writing." ”
