Chapter 66 Inquiry

He swayed awkwardly and quickly grabbed the door frame of the carriage with both hands to stop.

Being so rude, he raised his eyes to see Shi Yu Foli's reaction, then immediately lowered his head and bowed again, saying:

"Your Majesty... the common people have behaved inappropriately, please forgive me."

Shi Yu Foli held a note in his hand, snorted or sneered, glanced at him and said:

"I heard that you are Shen Qingzhi's son... so weak?"

Shen Liuzhen laid his head on the ground and said in a childish voice:

"Cao Min is indeed Shen Qingzhi's son. I don't know why, but they haven't gotten along well since they were young. Cao Min likes to read..."

When Shen Liuzhen said this, he tentatively changed his tone: "My father insisted that I practice martial arts. I really don't have the talent, so I got beaten many times. My father has always looked down on me."

Shi Yu Foli's eyes drifted for a moment, because Shen Liuzhen's words reminded him of his own crown prince who was very different from him and had almost the opposite personality.

A few years ago when he was young, he had been fighting abroad all year round, and he was in charge of the court, and under the guidance of King Mu, he was the prime minister of the government. It was just right for him to complement each other with civil and military affairs. However, in recent years, he has been fighting less often outside. In the court, both father and son seemed to be incompatible with each other, whether they were getting along or discussing matters.

This made him somewhat uncomfortable.

Shi Yu Foli put his thoughts back, looked at the eleven-year-old child with his head bent, and seemed to see Shi Yu Tianzhen, his eldest son who had just become the prime minister of the government. He was a little dissatisfied for a while, and said earnestly:

"What father doesn't want his son to be both civilized and martial arts? No matter what, the body should not be too weak. As a son, how can there be no reason not to practice martial arts?"

After hearing this, Shen Liuzhen was a little surprised for a moment. He didn't know how to continue the conversation. He thought about it and then said:

"What Your Majesty said is that it was the common people who failed to live up to expectations and let my father down."

Shi Yu Foli was satisfied, and added: "... When you become Wu Lei's servant in the future, you will not only urge him to study literature and those collections of classics and history, but also urge him to practice more martial arts. Do you understand?"

"The common people understand." Shen Liuzhen replied obediently.

Shi Yu Foli took another look at him, feeling that he seemed to be calmer than a child of his age, and suddenly asked:

"I forced you to go to Beijing to be Ulay's reading companion. Do you have any complaints?"

Shen Liuzhen didn't know how many times he had thought about this question, and he also thought about the answer in his mind many times, and said:

"The ordinary people have no complaints. The purpose of studying is to become an official. Although the current situation is a bit beyond expectations, it is still not far from my original intention. It is the ordinary people's blessing to be a companion to the eldest son of the crown prince."

His answer was smooth and steady, as if he had been taught by some slick official. Shi Yufoli frowned and asked again:

"Don't you have any complaints about being the enemy of your father, Shen Qingzhi?"

Shiyu Foli has a violent temper. Although he is likely to chop off your head in a fit of anger, such a person has another advantage. When he is displeased, he will show it immediately, unlike some emperors. He has a deep mind and good words. If you want to guess his thoughts, you can only get to know him accurately through getting along with him and getting to know him over time.

Shi Yu Foli was obviously not such a person, so he gave Shen Liuzhen, a person who always liked to guess and please, a chance to correct himself.

So he thought for a while, turned around and said:

"... The common people have heard that in today's troubled times, there are many imperial courts, and they often fight against each other. It is common for them to recruit and surrender enemy generals and change camps. They also heard that there are many brothers who are loyal to two rival imperial courts. , At the beginning, the common people were also very panicked and couldn't get over this obstacle. Later, the teacher told me many old examples, and it was just thinking about these old examples that I turned my head around."

He glanced at Shi Yu Foli with a pair of cautious and somewhat frightened eyes, lowered his head and asked: "Your Majesty...have the common people got it wrong?"

After hearing this, Shi Yu Foli also felt that it was a bit boring to force a child like this. In the final analysis, he was just projecting the conflict between himself and the crown prince onto Shen Liuzhen and his son, and used a father's heart to blame his son to blame Shen Liuzhen. Zhen.

He grabbed two more memorials in his hand and said boredly: "Okay, that's enough for today's gossip. Do you have anything else to say?"

Shen Liuzhen breathed a sigh of relief. He just wanted to run away from here, but he froze. After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked:

"Your Majesty...my father...how is he doing now?"

Shi Yu Foli raised his gaze and saw the eleven-year-old child opposite him. From the time he got in the car until just now, he had been burying his head and not daring to look at him. But now he was looking into his eyes very eagerly. The clear light flashed in a pair of big eyes, full of expectation and worry, with a hint of tears.

Shi Yu Foli was suddenly touched by his admiration for his father, and subconsciously lowered his eyes and said:

"Don't worry, he won't die yet."





Mrs. Xie's face was full of tears, and she was supported by her mother-in-law and guarding the door. There was an unusual light in her eyes, as if she was overextending her life in anticipation of something.

Suddenly, she saw a group of searching people coming back from a distance. The rules and education all year round did not stop her anxiety, so she asked from a distance:

"How's it going? Do you have any whereabouts?" She seemed to be disappointed for a moment when she didn't see Xie Yuan coming, but then she steeled herself to rekindle her hope and asked this question.

Father Xie got off the horse. Because he was in a hurry and because of his emotions, the trembling of his body never calmed down. His hand holding the riding whip kept shaking, and then he threw it away angrily, and the Confucian scholar's broad sleeves turned up. He stood up, fell to the ground, sighed heavily, and said:

"She went north! She is probably looking for her master! I have sent people to look for her all the way!" At the end of the sentence, her voice was choked with sobs.

Mrs. Xie's whole body trembled, as if she had been frightened out of her wits. After a while, she burst into tears and shouted heartbreakingly into the distance:

"Ayuan...my silly daughter! Why are you so brave!...ah?!"

Xie Yuan went all the way north, and the farther north he saw, the more desolate the scenery became. This desolation was not only the desolation of cultivated fields with overgrown weeds, but also abandoned and abandoned houses, drums and graves lined with wooden signs.

Occasionally, I met a few living people on the road, and when they saw her, they all looked like they were ready to move, and they looked hateful.

Xie Yuan rode his horse and did not dare to stop at all, escaping from these strangers.

She was a little panicked because none of the scenery she saw was familiar to her, and she couldn't find a place where she could rest peacefully.
