Chapter 238 The Princess Returns Home
Standing on the attic, Yu Liang watched the Shen family's car drive slowly out of Taicheng with a rather complicated expression.

It was just now that Taicheng was discussing matters, and the officials of Taicheng had reached a consensus that Langya King Sima Yushang was still young, and it was not suitable for him to leave the court and return to the vassal.While Yu Liang breathed a sigh of relief, he also realized that this hidden danger was astonishing.In the past, although he was not lacking in vigilance against King Xiyang and many other Zongwangs, he was somewhat underestimating in his heart, thinking that these Zongwangs did not have much ability to interfere in the current situation.

Today's incident sounded the alarm for Yu Liang, and he realized that as long as these clan kings exist for a day, they cannot be taken lightly, and a slight negligence may lead to catastrophe, especially for their sinister intentions. cognition.At present, the relationship between Liyang and the center is tense, and the possibility of war at any time is not ruled out. It is self-evident what these Zongwangs want to get King Langya to Kuaiji at this time.

This time it was considered a fluke, and the matter was resolved before the Zongwangs launched an attack, and the danger was nipped in the bud, without causing worse effects.But Yu Liang didn't dare to relax his vigilance because of this. As long as these Zongwangs still exist, the danger will always exist.Before Zong Wang is resolved, other matters can only be temporarily slowed down, so as not to cause trouble.

In addition, today's false alarm also made Yu Liang realize that the stability of Kuaiji is more important than he thought before.From a geographical point of view, Kuaiji does not have the ability to influence and check and balance the center, but if Kuaiji renounces, then the entire Wuzhong University will be wiped out!If such a thing really happened, it would be tantamount to completely taking away the foundation of the center!
Therefore, Kuaiji cannot be chaotic!
With such a clear understanding, Yu Liang gradually changed his mind about the sequence of many arrangements in the future.Although the previous layout does not need to be adjusted too much, the order of solving the problems still needs to be carefully weighed and discussed.

At least so far, Kuaiji is still reliable, and has not had any substantive contact or collusion with the Zongwangs.Otherwise, the matter this time would not be resolved so easily.Therefore, for Kuaiji, Yu Liang no longer insists on being able to completely control it, as long as he can maintain the current state, it is not an unacceptable result for him.

Seeing the Shen family's car driving away, Yu Liang had an increasingly strong urge to stop him and ask if he had anything to do with what the clan kings planned this time?Although he paid full attention to these Zongwangs in his heart, Yu Liang still didn't feel that they had such a precise vision and happened to be stuck in such a critical season to make trouble.

However, Yu Liang also knew that this question itself was meaningless, and the Shen family had already demonstrated through practical actions that they had no collusion with King Zong.At least in the matter of King Langya leaving the court, his family was ignorant or stayed out of it, and did not provide solidarity or substantive help to the Zongwangs.

Therefore, this doubt can only be buried in the bottom of my heart. Once it is asked, the embarrassment between each other will be even greater, and the relationship will become more alienated and indifferent.Let's pretend that this incident never happened, the Empress Dowager did not intend to annul the marriage, and the Shen family did not know that the Zongwangs asked for King Langya to leave the court and return to the vassal.

This is also the thought in Shen Zhezi's heart. There is no need to declare many things, just take one tacit understanding.He didn't want Yu Liang to be too radical and destroy the current stable situation prematurely, so he gave Yu Liang some warnings through the Zongwangs to let this guy understand that he is far from being able to control the overall situation at the moment, even if he has some plans , should also be slowed down.

Regarding those clan kings, Shen Zhezi didn't know what to say, he couldn't help teasing them too much.Yesterday, Shen Zhezi ordered Ren Qiu to pass through the old people in the capital to remind the Zongwangs that they can do this, but he didn't expect it to have an effect today.But from this, Shen Zhezi also saw that this group of clan kings was really unbearable. They probably still dreamed of setting up a new king in Kuaiji after the chaos in Gyeonggi, but Yu Liang had already settled all parties.

Originally, Shen Zhezi planned to wait for things to get serious, and when his family needed to express their views, he would slap his confused mother-in-law and Yu Liang in the face, but he didn't expect that this group of pig teammates couldn't even win such an opportunity for him , is really unbearable to the extreme.They wanted to ask for the title of King Langya, but they didn't come to find out what they wanted first, did they really think that they would obey to the point of beating gongs and drums to welcome King Langya to Kuaiji?

It is true that if King Langya went to Kuaiji, the Shen family would have an extra means of restraining the center, but it would also attract many unnecessary malicious precautions.Without King Langya in his hands, the center also has nothing to do with the Shen family, so why bother to get such a hot potato.

Of course, the premise of all this is based on the fact that the well water does not violate the river water. If the center really pissed off his family, then there is nothing to worry about, and naturally it will use any means!If you wait until the Shen family makes a move, the matter will definitely not be as easy to solve as the conspiracy of the kings.

Shen Zhezi believes that Yu Liang must also be aware of this point, at least until the kings are dealt with, he will not attack the Shen family again.After all, it doesn't matter whether the center has the idea to force it to stay. Shen Zhezi will stay with the princess in the capital for a few years, and it is not a pleasant experience to be stared at by such a pair of stern and vigilant eyes all the time.

Leaving Neiyuan again, Princess Xingnan's mood inevitably became depressed again. Although the sadness in her heart was not as strong as before, but thinking that she would never see her loving father again, she lost another concern in the garden. , I couldn't help weeping silently.

The car drove all the way to Yanshi on the north bank of the Qinhuai River, but the princess never heard Shen Zhezi comforting her. This made the princess feel even more sad and angry, so she sat there and amplified her crying.However, Shen Zhezi was still concentrating on what happened this time, and didn't notice the change in the little girl's mind.

The ox cart drove up Dongxiang, and when it was approaching Bird Clothes Lane, the princess finally couldn't bear it anymore, wiped the tears on her face, pulled the corner of Shen Zhezi's clothes, and said angrily: "Why don't you talk to me? I've been crying so much For a long time, I didn't listen to you to comfort me. Is it because I have lived in the garden for too long that you are angry?"

Hearing this, Shen Zhezi withdrew his thoughts, raised his hand to wipe off the tears on the little girl's pink cheeks, and said with a smile: "The princess is not idle in the garden, and she has worked hard to teach my brothers. It can be seen that she is already a sensible lady, and she has the responsibility of the eldest sister." , I am just relieved, so why would I be annoyed? The princess is already quite sensible at such a young age, so we know that when we have a child in the future, we should be a responsible and sensible gentleman under the princess' teaching."

When Princess Xingnan heard this, her pretty face suddenly became ashamed: "How do you know this... Could it be that when the queen mother saw you, she told you about my affairs in the garden? Did the queen mother, did she not because of me?" To offend you?"

Shen Zhezi laughed in his heart when he heard this. Although his family is a rich family, it still doesn't catch the eyes of that mother-in-law. Every meeting is a pleasant experience, and this time is no exception.In this way, his mother-in-law can be regarded as an interesting woman who is not tempted by money.

However, the meeting this time was somewhat calmer than the last time. Although the Empress Dowager did not look happy when she saw him, there was no lack of intent to ease the relationship in her words, and she even praised Shen Zhezi a few words.Of course, Shen Zhezi would not feel so good about himself that he thought that the queen mother's sense of him had changed. As for the reason for the change in attitude, it was probably because he realized the indispensable position of the Shen family in the current situation.

Shen Zhezi didn't expect to gain any favor in front of the queen mother, so he didn't mind it too much.Although the queen mother is now in charge of the government, the Shen family has not yet directly interfered with the central government, so whether the queen mother treats his family well or badly, Shen Zhezi doesn't care much.As long as it doesn't affect his relationship with the princess, he can ignore it.

"The empress mother has always been strict with others, and now she is the same with Aliu. Shen Zhezi, don't make her angry."

Although the princess was quite criticized in the garden, she was worried that Shen Zhezi would get along badly with the queen mother, so she pulled Shen Zhezi's finger and whispered.

Shen Zhezi patted the back of her hand with a smile: "Don't worry, even though the queen mother is dissatisfied with me, I am a foreign minister after all, and we don't have many opportunities to get along with each other. Avoid as much as you can. It's just that if you enter the court again, princess , don't be too strong in front of the Queen Mother."

When the princess heard this, her small face became a little lonely: "I don't want to enter the garden anymore. The queen mother hates seeing me, and she must be even more annoyed now. The emperor is not here anymore... I am in the garden, and I am only worried about you." Lyu is just alone. Others don’t treat me very well, my younger brother, Anu, doesn’t even know my name..."

Speaking of this, the princess' expression suddenly changed, and she pulled Shen Zhezi and said eagerly: "Shen Zhezi, would you like to accompany Aliu to study? The day before yesterday Aliu said that uncle would help him choose teachers and friends, Aliu I also have a good impression of you, and I am willing to get along with you..."

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he was slightly astonished, and immediately shook his head with a smile: "I don't want it anymore. I don't dare to take on such an important matter as His Majesty's studies. Besides, I don't have much time, so I'd better leave it to those who really The learned man."

He really didn't intend to accompany the little brother-in-law to study. It seemed more interesting to train the little emperor, but it wasn't something necessary for him.Besides, Yu Liang might not be willing to let himself hang out with the little emperor all day long.Now the little emperor is closely related to his family, how could he allow others to get close to exert influence.

When Shen Zhezi refused, the princess couldn't help being a little disappointed. She really hoped that Shen Zhezi could get close to the little emperor.

"Don't worry, even if I don't study with His Majesty, we will still have the opportunity to see each other from time to time when we live in the capital."

Shen Zhezi comforted the girl with a smile. After a while, the ox cart slowly stopped in front of the princess mansion in Wuyi Lane: "I'm home!"

　I have a hunch that the third watch will be late again tonight. . .
