The matter of joining an agency is of great significance. First of all, the person who undertakes this important task must represent the emperor, and the image of the person representing the emperor must be positive. Secondly, going to each prefecture this time will not solve the matter of joining in one night, that is to say, the time outside will be longer, so the people who go must let go of the things in their hands. In the end, this person must not be afraid of power, lest some aristocratic family use it to threaten him.

The emperor thought for a while: "What do you think of Li Xian?"

Du Ke meal, Li Xian, full name Shen Lixian, is the emperor's original wife, Princess Yuan, that is, the younger brother of the deceased Queen Shen. After the emperor's registration, the rank of the concubine was promoted to the imperial concubine, and the original wife, Princess Yuan, was named the empress. In this way, the Shen family became the Marquis of Cheng'en.

This incident caused quite a stir at the time. But what can be done? The emperor is already the emperor, and no one can be his master. Furthermore, there was nothing wrong in theory to encapsulate the original princess as the queen.

The previous emperor loved the emperor and wanted to make him a crown prince, so the Shen family who gave him the marriage must be a big family, and the Shen family was clean and honest. But what happened to Princess Yuan and the first emperor back then.

Not many people knew what happened back then, and Du Ke was one of the insiders. When the palace banquet came back, Princess Yuan passed away and was actually carried into the harem. No matter how much the former emperor doted on his son, it was impossible for him to enjoy the same woman. Although both the former emperor and the emperor were framed in this matter, there was no way, and Princess Yuan became the only victim.

Also because of this incident, the previous emperor felt guilt towards the emperor, and at the same time, there was a gap.

Although Du Ke knew some inside stories, he didn't know that the emperor had a follow-up emotional entanglement with Princess Yuan, who became a concubine back then, and even had a son between them. Although this son was a traitor and gave birth to a son, it was undeniable that he was also a direct son. The son of the emperor and his original wife is more justifiable than the son of the successor.

However, because of Princess Yuan and the previous emperor, no one would accept such a direct prince.

When the emperor once planned, if he succeeded in winning the heir, he would change his identity for Princess Yuan, and then marry him back. She would still be his wife, and their son would still be his heir. Unexpectedly, Princess Yuan was ashamed of her identity, and she committed suicide by setting fire to it.

Seeing that Du Ke didn't answer right away, the emperor narrowed his eyes: "Do you think it is inappropriate to be polite?"

Du Ke came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "Weichen never meant this. The Prince of Cheng'en is a contemporary genius, and he became famous at a young age. Looking at the entire capital, there are very few who can compare to him." Du Ke Kua is sincere, Shen Lixian is indeed a character. The one who ranked with Shen Lixian back then was Wei Ting and others. "It's just that Shen Shizi is not from the Ministry of Household. Besides, this matter still needs to go to Yunxiang County and Qin Fang to discuss the details."

The emperor said: "According to your opinion, it is the most suitable for you to go to this matter? You and Qin Fang are familiar with each other, and it is convenient to discuss matters."

Du Kexin tensed up: "Weichen never meant that."

The emperor waved his hand and said he didn't care: "This matter is indeed the most suitable for you, but if you go, what will happen to the Ministry of War? Who can take over the Ministry of War for you? And it's not a day or two."

Du Ke really didn't mean to go by himself, and ran everywhere with high mountains and rivers. This is not what he is willing to do.

The emperor said again: "It's better that the old minister is responsible for the affairs of the Ministry of War. When you join the agency, you are responsible. Let Lixian be your deputy, and you can go to Yunxiang County together."

Du Ke was stunned for a moment, and this was the idea that the emperor dared to love from the beginning. "Wei Chen..."

The emperor said: "Okay, it's settled like this. Du Qing, this matter is no trivial matter, and my treasury can be trusted by you."

Du Ke felt a lot of pressure: "Wei Chen leads the way."

The emperor: "You step back and arrange the affairs at hand."

Du Ke: "Wei Chen retire."

After Du Ke stepped down, the emperor said to Mr. Chi, "Pass on Shen Lixian."

Chief Chi: "Yes."

After a while, Shen Lixian entered the palace, and Director Chi was guarding the door of the imperial study and did not enter. Every time the Prince of Chengen Hou came, the emperor would order him to stand at the door of the imperial study to prevent anyone from breaking in.

"Wei Chen sees the emperor." Shen Lixian is the elder brother of Empress Shen, who is only 30 this year. The Shen family once had to be reinvigorated by the previous emperor. As a family that has been famous for several generations, the Shen family is famous and promising, and is highly rated in the eyes of the world. However, because of Empress Shen's affairs, the late emperor gradually changed his attitude towards the Shen family.

how to say? Although the matter between the late emperor and Empress Shen was not the fault of the two parties involved, but... under the circumstances that the previous emperor would not be at fault, even if Empress Shen was right, it would be wrong. For example, if the situation was problematic at the time, you, a married woman, should commit suicide to protect your innocence, etc. Furthermore, when the first emperor saw the people of the Shen family, he would think of that absurd thing, so after the affair of the Shen family with Empress Shen, the important position in the imperial court was gradually replaced by others.

Later, the Shen family has been relatively leisurely.

until the emperor succeeded.

After the emperor ascended the throne, the members of the Shen family were promoted again. Many people have no opinion on this. Especially the imperial concubine family. At first, they thought that the emperor would accept the daughter of the Shen family as a concubine, but after these two years, there is no such movement from the emperor, so the imperial concubine family is not worried. After all, the Shen family has no one in the harem, so what are they worried about? Moreover, the imperial concubine's family and the Shen family have no grievances. If it is the daughter's position, Queen Shen is already dead, how can they still care about the same dead person?

So all along, the Shen family has been relatively peaceful in the imperial court.

However, no one knew the real purpose of the emperor pulling the Shen family.

The emperor: "No ceremony. Li Xian, have you ever complained about me over the years?" Shen Lixian was his companion when he was still the prince, and his fate with Li Ling started from this. Shen Liling, Queen Shen's boudoir name. Li is the homonym of li, and women can be homophonic and ranked as men, which shows Shen Liling's status in the Shen family. "I once swore that I would protect her for the rest of my life, but let alone my whole life, I would not have it in half my life." Speaking of this, the emperor's eyes were reddish, she was the only woman he had ever loved in his life, like a flower The beauty of her, but because of him, she became a victim of the competition for the throne.

Back then, he never thought that the brothers would use such filthy methods because of the competition for the throne. But this move is really cruel, making the father feel guilty and estranged when facing him.

Shen Lixian said: "Weichen dare not, let alone the emperor for this matter." Although he said this on his lips, he hated it in his heart. They used to be the best brothers, and when he was the prince, he was the companion. When he was the prince, they were in-laws. He once swore that he would help him well, but he lost his sister's life.

Even if the battle for the throne was dangerous, even if he knew that he couldn't blame him for it, he still couldn't let go of his sister in his heart.

Yes, the Shen family is also one of the educated youths regarding the matter of the late emperor and the Empress Shen.

The emperor: "There is something that I have not told you. In fact, there is a child between me and Li Ling."

Shen Lixian's indifferent expression changed: "Your Majesty, what did you say?"

The emperor: "In those days, after Li Ling entered the palace, she was placed in the cold palace by her father. The cold palace was all arranged by me. Li Ling and I did not break up the relationship, so we had a child. In terms of age, he Ranked second." The son of the imperial concubine ranked first. "Li Xian, that child is my son-in-law. I hold the position of the imperial concubine, and I just don't want to have another son."

Thinking that it was his sister's only child, Shen Lixian was a little excited: "What about that child?"

The emperor: "When Li Ling used the mutation of the palace to send the child away, she set fire to herself, so that no one knew the whereabouts of the child."

"Impossible." Shen Lixian said, "Even if my sister took advantage of the palace mutation to send the child away, but the child needs someone to send it away, there must be an educated youth. You can always know who sent the child away, right? Or the emperor doesn't want to find out at all? ?"

The emperor was not angry with his attitude either: "I have been looking for it for the past two years. The palace suddenly changed. When I settled down in the palace and went to the harem to look for Li Ling, she was already burned to death, and the palace servant who was missing at that time. There are also a lot of dead palace servants, and it is impossible to find them. Those who survived are not the people around Li Ling, Li Ling can't entrust the children to them. Second, if they leave with the children Now, how is it possible that he is still in the palace?" The only thing the emperor didn't expect was that after the nanny had settled the child, she came back and walked out of the palace in an open and fair manner.

Shen Lixian has slowly calmed down: "What is the emperor's intention to tell Wei Chen about this today?" The emperor will not tell him the matter for no reason, so what he wants to do next is related to the child?

The emperor said: "I have a person by my side recently..." He repeated the story of Qin Fang, potato flour and sweet potato flour, "I want you to follow Du Ke to various prefectures in the country, and it is Du Ke's deputy on the bright side. Involved in joining the agency, secretly looking for that child."

Knowing the existence of the child, even if the emperor did not say anything, Shen Lixian would try his best to find it. But it is true that the Shen family is not an ordinary family in the capital. If you suddenly look for a child, no matter how careful you are, this rumor will leak out, so it is best for him to find a reason to go out to Beijing to find it.

The emperor said again: "The people in my hands are temporarily transferred to you. They have been looking for the child. Also, this is a portrait of the child."

Shen Lixian took the child's portrait, and when he saw the person in the portrait, his eyes were red: "These eyes really look like my sister."

The emperor sighed and said very sadly: "This was drawn by Li Ling when the child was four years old. Now, he is six years old, and I don't know what he looks like, but the facial features should be opened a lot. Look. Look, although his eyes are like Liling's, the outline of his face is still like mine."

Shen Lixian disliked the emperor for saying this, but he had to admit it. "Emperor, Wei Chen dared to ask. The identity of the child is very embarrassing. Even if he finds it, he will not be able to recognize it with the emperor. Why don't he be the child of the Shen family, my child, and grow up in the Shen family."
