Prince of Chaos

Chapter 507 The End of an Era

The wind and snow are still in a hurry, and the crown prince's guard of honor is extraordinary.

Before the team, there were thirteen canopy dragon umbrellas representing royal authority, including three nine-dragon umbrellas with crank handles, four dragon umbrellas with straight handles, two Ruicao umbrellas with straight handles, and four square umbrellas.

Behind them are Shuanglong Fan, Peacock Fan, Baize Banner, Jinjie, Yubao Banner, Mission Banner, Announcement Banner, Letter Banner, Zhang Yin Banner, Ritual Cloak, Dragon Banner, Small Dragon Banner, Leopard-tailed Spear, Bow and Arrow, and Broadsword , musical instruments, incense burners, bottles, basins and other ceremonial utensils representing royal power.

When this guard of honor appeared on the streets of the capital, everyone looked sideways. When the guard of honor approached, the guards in charge of clearing the road and the gold melon warriors would order everyone to make way for a wide avenue.

And let everyone bow their heads and kneel on both sides of the road, and wait until the guard of honor passes by before they are allowed to stand up.

Zhu Changluo was sitting among the dragons, and he knew what was going on outside without looking at him.

Whenever he experienced such a thing, Zhu Changluo couldn't help but think that it's great to have power, that he can really be above everyone, and that he can really have a feeling of doing whatever he wants.

No wonder there have been so many people from ancient times to the present, who risked their lives to gain the highest power.It turns out that the taste of power is really intoxicating.

While enjoying the satisfaction brought by power, Zhu Changluo once again thanked Erguotou who let him travel through time. Otherwise, how could he, a low-level social animal, have the opportunity to enjoy such high power treatment?
Therefore, I want to thank Erguotou and the status of the crown prince.

Shen Shihang's mansion was not too far from the Forbidden City, and it took only a quarter of an hour for the crown prince's guard of honor to arrive at Shen Shihang's mansion.

From this we can see how close Shen Shixing's chief assistant mansion is to the Forbidden City. The speed of a full set of guards of honor like Zhu Changluo is actually very slow.

If it is at the speed of normal carriages or bearers walking fast, it may take about a quarter of an hour to travel from the Forbidden City to Shen Shihang.

The door of Shen Shihang's mansion was closed tightly. Obviously, Shen Shihang was ready to thank the guests with Dumen, and he didn't plan to see anyone.

When the servant standing in front of the gate saw the crown prince's guard of honor coming towards this side against the wind and snow, he immediately turned around and opened a small door next to the gate to enter the mansion to report.

When Shen Shixing and Shen Yongmao, who was serving the old father at home, heard the porter's report, Shen Shixing got up immediately, "Quickly, open the door and welcome Crown Prince Jinjia."

Shen Shixing's mansion immediately became lively, a group of family members hurriedly cleared the snow in the courtyard, and prepared the incense table according to the etiquette, waiting for the arrival of the crown prince.

When Zhu Changluo's guard of honor arrived in front of Shen Shixing's mansion, Shen Shixing's mansion was already ready.

The door of the mansion was also open, and Shen Shixing stood under the door with the support of Shen Yongmao and waited.

After Long Luan came to a complete stop, Wei Zhongxian shouted from the front: "The crown prince is here."

Zhu Changluo leaned out when Wei Zhongxian and the people who were waiting around pulled back the curtain that Long Mou had closed.

Shen Shixing and everyone in the Shen Mansion knelt down at this moment, "I see Your Highness."

Zhu Changluo stepped down quickly, then helped Shen Shixing up and said, "Mr. Shen, please get up quickly."

Then, Zhu Changluo turned against the guests and dragged Shen Shixing to the Shen residence.

After entering the lobby of Shen Mansion, Zhu Changluo put the imperial decree of Emperor Wanli on the incense table prepared by Shen Mansion.

At this time, Zhu Changluo was not in a hurry to announce the decree. He sat on the head of Shen's mansion, looked at Shen Shixing and said, "For so many years, Chang Luo didn't have time to look carefully. It turns out that the husband is already so old. These years, the husband has assisted the father and the lonely ,Thanks for your hard work."

"After Gu told his father about his thoughts yesterday, his father was very sad, and his father couldn't bear to part with him, so today he specially asked Gu to keep him."

Shen Shixing listened to Zhu Changluo's words. He pretended to be old and weak, bowed his hands to Zhu Changluo and said: "The old minister has been in the cabinet for more than 20 years because of the kindness of the emperor and the reliance of his highness. There is always a banquet in the world." However, the old minister is really old. Daming will continue to rejuvenate. After the old minister is gone, there will be more capable people to assist His Highness to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty and continue the society."

Zhu Changluo sighed, took Shen Shixing's hand and asked, "After Mr. leaves, who will be useful in the cabinet?"

When Shen Shixing heard this, his old eyes, which were still dim just now, suddenly shone with a gleam.Then, it was quickly hidden.

He replied: "Your Highness, after the old minister leaves, there will naturally be ministers from Zhuguo who care about the country in the cabinet to assist His Highness."

Shen Shihang made his position very clear, and he did not rely on his identity to point out state affairs arbitrarily.

Zhu Changluo was very satisfied with Shen Shixing's answer.

To be honest, just after asking that question, Zhu Changluo was thinking about how Shen Shixing would answer, and how he would respond if he really recommended someone.

However, this sentence has to be asked, because this sentence is a kind of respect, even if he is the crown prince of Jian Guo, sometimes the respect that should be given to his subjects is still to be given.

Zhu Changluo sighed: "It's lonely and hard to be Mr., Mr. has worked hard for the country for decades, and it's time to rest. Gu once again thanked Mr. for his hard work over the years on behalf of my father."

Shen Shixing was touched and said: "Your Majesty is so gracious, I am ashamed, I am ashamed that I failed to continue to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty, resulting in mistakes in state affairs. If I can still be young for 20 years, I will definitely do my best to continue to assist Your Majesty. "

Zhu Changluo supported Shen Shixing again and said, "Mister's heart, father knows, and Gu also knows. Yesterday Gu and father talked a lot, and father told Gu a lot about Mr. Father said that when he was young, he It is my husband who has been teaching him, and my father is very grateful for this. After listening to Gu, I am also very moved, I did not expect that there is such a deep teacher-student friendship between my father and my husband."

"Nowadays, the great Ming Dynasty is in sight. In addition to my father's brilliance and martial arts, there is also the contribution of my husband who has devoted himself to managing the country's affairs. Moreover, since I supervised the country, my husband has always assisted Gu. I am also grateful for this." Endless, Mr. Wan Wang must take care of his health in the future, and watch the prosperous Ming Dynasty rejuvenate."

With tears in his old eyes, Shen Shixing replied: "After the veteran returns to his hometown, he will burn incense and pray every day, praying that God will bless the emperor and His Highness, and revitalize the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible."

After all, Shen Shixing wanted to bow and kneel again.

Zhu Changluo supported him again and said, "Sir, I will only convey my father's feelings."

At this time, the incense on the incense table has been burned for a long time, and it is time to proclaim the decree.

Zhu Changluo said: "Sir, the time is almost up, and it's time for Gu to announce the decree on behalf of the father."

Shen Shixing and his family members immediately stood in the lobby of Shen's family one by one, and then Shen Shixing took the lead in worshiping: "Minister Shen Shixing kneels to welcome the imperial decree, and greets the saint."

Zhu Changluo replied instead of Emperor Wanli: "I am safe."

Then Zhu Changluo picked up the imperial decree on the incense table and began to read it. . .

After the reading, Shen Shixing thanked him and submitted his second resignation memorial again.

Zhu Changluo watched the presentation of this memorial, and he also sighed in his heart, this is the end of an era.

Although, in the original historical time and space, Shen Shixing was not brilliant as the first assistant, and was also said to be the first assistant of the mixed mud by later generations, but in this time and space, Shen Shihang still had several bold memorials and responsibilities. .

Based on these, a few years later, when future generations look at how Shen Shixing took charge of the cabinet, perhaps future generations will also say, "Shen Xiang, who served as Yuanfu for sixteen years, was mature enough to seek the country, and he still cares about Zhongxing Daming." Contributed." Yes.

Zhu Changluo put away Shen Shixing's memorial and said, "Mr. cherish it."
