Shen Ye walked out of the prison, the sun outside was warm, shining on his body, warm, and he couldn't help but take a long breath. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Master, is life in prison not good?" Princess Kunxing looked at Shen Ye from the side and said with a playful smile.

Shen Ye shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "It's okay, you can still chat with Charlie about literature and geography, and talk about poetry with your seniors." ”

"Wow, Master is so powerful, he knows astronomy and geography, and he knows poetry, and even the realm is so profound. Princess Kunxing couldn't help but exclaim, her eyes showed admiration, and her eyes were full of stars.

Shen Ye made a silent action: "Shhh, I can't let others know that I am a righteous man." ”

"Hehe, I know, but my father also knew about you saving me in the first place, so my father decided to give you a banquet, how about it, do you appreciate your face?" Princess Kunxing smiled.

Shen Ye had cold sweat on his forehead, the emperor invited a banquet, do you dare not go, let alone yourself, it is Yuan Chonghuan, not to say that it is cleaned up, which shows that the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is still quite terrifying.

Thinking of this, Shen Ye looked at Princess Kunxing, spread his hands and said, "Does Master have a choice?"

"Hehe, no, Master, come with me. Kun Xing smiled, and jumped with Shen Ye towards the depths of the palace.

Princess Kunxing opened the way, and Shen Ye went all the way unimpeded, and soon, he came to the pavilion where the emperor was entertained.

In the pavilion, Emperor Chongzhen stood in it, his hands behind his back, but his face was not a little happy, he looked into the distance, as if he had fallen into some kind of deep thought.

Until Princess Kunxing walked to the pavilion with Shen Ye, Emperor Chongzhen hadn't reacted, and Princess Kunxing couldn't help but step forward and pull her father's sleeve, and called: "Father?"

"Ah, Kunxing, what's wrong?" Chongzhen reacted and looked at Princess Kunxing suspiciously.

Seeing that her father seemed to have forgotten about the banquet, Princess Kunxing suddenly pointed at Shen Ye coquettishly: "Father, have you forgotten all about my master?"

"Ah, Shen Ye is here. Emperor Chongzhen reacted immediately, he patted his head, looked at the Manchu and Han banquets in the pavilion, and said with a smile, "Father and Emperor have not forgotten, no, let people set up a banquet in advance." ”

"Your Majesty, Emperor. Shen Ye stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Alas, I've been a little insomnia these days, no wonder. Emperor Chongzhen patted his head and sat down, "You sit." ”

Insomnia?

Shen Ye's heart moved, what could make Chongzhen insomnia, could it be Yuan Chonghuan's matter?

"Father, my master is amazing, if you have anything, you can also talk to Shen Ye! Princess Kunxing was eating, and suddenly said suggestively.

"The country's situation has not been very good recently, and I guess I can't help it. Emperor Chongzhen sighed and said with a sad face.

Shen Ye hadn't come out for a while, and he didn't know much about the recent state situation, so he couldn't help asking: "The state of the country hasn't been good recently?" Is it because Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned, the border pass was not well guarded, and Huang Taiji made a comeback?"

"Alas, that's just one of them. After the triumph of the Emperor Taiji, the name of the Houjin was changed to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the strength became more and more strong, and there was a constant commotion at the border pass, and there were signs of launching a battle to enter the pass, and the people at the border pass were panicked. ”

Chongzhen sighed, "Internally, although a number of corrupt officials and rotten officials have been purged, but externally, there are constantly peasant uprisings, and the momentum is huge, among them, especially the forces of King Gao Yingxiang, the most powerful. I'm not going to sleep!"

Emperor Chongzhen looked anxious, saying that it was a banquet, but it was better to complain.

And the reason why Chongzhen is willing to complain to Shen Ye is probably because he feels that Shen Yeming's deeds are very loyal, and he is one of the few people he can trust.

However, Shen Ye didn't think about it so much, he went to Houjin just to kill the Tartars and upgrade to enhance his strength, but he didn't think about really serving Chongzhen.

"Internal and external troubles, the situation is indeed not optimistic. Shen Ye nodded approvingly and said, but in his heart he was thinking, this Ming Dynasty is now shaking in the wind and rain, and it is estimated that his life will not be long.

I couldn't help but sigh secretly, the wheel of history can't be changed, I can only witness it.

......

After eating the imperial banquet in the pavilion, Shen Ye said goodbye to Chongzhen and left the palace.

After leaving the palace, Shen Ye hadn't walked a few hundred meters before someone stopped Shen Ye.

It was a Wei Party official, and he smiled and said to the middle of the night: "Duke Wei has an invitation." ”

"Good. Shen Ye nodded, now that the country is turbulent, he may know the historical trend, but Wei Zhongxian may not know, now invite himself over, probably because he wants to ask himself, so he followed him to Wei Mansion.

In the Wei Mansion, in the study, Wei Zhongxian seems to be much older than before, and it seems that the recent events have also made it difficult for his father to sleep.

After all, Yuan Chonghuan, one of the giants of the Donglin Party, has already been imprisoned, and Wei Zhongxian's crime is no less than Yuan Chonghuan's, and it is estimated that it will not be long before Chongzhen will clean him up sooner or later.

No, as soon as he saw Shen Ye, he immediately smiled: "Shen Ye, you're finally back." ”

Since the last time Shen Ye went to Qingshan Military Fort, Shen Ye hadn't been back for a long time, and even if he did, he had entered the Heavenly Prison.

"Wei Gong. Shen Ye smiled faintly, others may not know Wei Zhongxian's fate, but he does.

"Shen Ye, with your eyes, you should know the dangerous situation of the Ming Dynasty now, right?" Wei Zhongxian went straight to the point and asked Shen Ye.

Shen Ye nodded: "I know, this situation is getting worse and worse, it is estimated that Duke Wei also thinks that the building is about to collapse, otherwise he would not be so anxious." ”

"The edifice will fall ...... How dare you say it. ”

Wei Zhongxian smiled bitterly, although he also vaguely felt that the Ming Dynasty would not last long, but he didn't dare to say it to others openly, he looked at Shen Ye and felt that this person was extremely magical, experienced legendary, courageous and colorful, so he asked, "What do you think, in this situation, what should you do?"

"The Ming Dynasty, external worries and internal troubles, to put it mildly, are two major problems. First, the foreign Emperor Taiji and his group coveted the Ming royal family, and second, the internal peasant uprising. If these two forces can be suppressed, the foundation will naturally be stable. Shen Ye said truthfully.

When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly and said: "Isn't this the same as not saying it? Everyone in the world knows that Huang Taiji's forces are becoming more and more, and they can't be suppressed at all, and as for the peasant uprising, it's even more nerve-wracking, where can it be suppressed?"

Shen Ye said: "This is the lesion. But if you don't cure it, no matter how anxious you are, it can't be solved, and only by taking the initiative to solve it can it be cured. ”

"To suppress the peasant uprising?" Wei Zhongxian asked.

Shen Ye said: "Duke Wei's affairs can be self-determined, I can't be arbitrary, as for myself, I'm not good at suppressing uprisings, but I can go to the border to dedicate." ”

"You're still going to the border to waste time?" Wei Zhongxian said incredulously, "That's no fun at all." ”

Shen Ye smiled indifferently, and said righteously: "I know that I can't do it, the Ming Dynasty needs people like me." ”
