Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 482 A Stranger’s Rise to Power (50)

Yu Xi's little resentment had not yet reached the emperor, and the emperor had even forgotten about the two children he brought with him, and was having fun with the beauty who was clinging to him.

Dealing with government affairs is so tiring; eating, drinking and having fun are the most enjoyable things.

The emperor had never established himself as a diligent and people-loving person, and he just muddled through every day.

If the royal relatives and court officials had not been so harsh before, the emperor might not have taken their lives.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty~"

"My beloved concubine, drink this cup of wine quickly. This wine is a tribute from a vassal state."

"..."

No one knew about the extravagance of the imperial carriage except the people involved. Yu Sheng and Yu Xi had already run far away by then.

As two young children who were brought up in a pampered manner, they have unexpectedly good tempers.

The guards passing by saluted one after another, and Yu Sheng and Yu Xi walked and jumped (mainly Yu Xi, Yu Sheng was more calm and composed).

"Wait, we can't go forward."

Yu Sheng suddenly grabbed Yu Xi, who was about to move forward, and pulled her back with a frown.

Yu Xi: ...Hmm?

Yu Xi didn't understand and pointed forward, "There are people ahead," why couldn't they go.

Yu Sheng couldn’t put it into words because the person in front of him gave him a bad feeling.

The palace maids who were serving them all urged the two young masters to go back quickly, as they had been out for quite some time and the convoy would be setting off soon.

"Go back first, brother will tell you a story," Yu Sheng made an excuse.

After listening to this, Yu Xi tilted his head and thought about it, then nodded, "Okay."

It's also nice to listen to my brother telling stories. Compared to walking around and looking around outside, it's easier to stay in the carriage with food and drink and listen to stories. Hehehe, Yu Xi suddenly felt happy.

The two turned around and walked back. On the way, they met Shen Changyu who was on patrol. The three of them greeted each other. Yu Sheng reminded this good uncle, "There's something unusual over there."

Shen Changyu was immediately shocked and said calmly that he had taken note of it. "Prince and Princess, go back. I will leave this to you."

He is not the kind of person who would look down on Yu Sheng just because he is young.

On the contrary, Shen Changyu believed in Yu Sheng's insight. As the only son of the emperor, if Yu Sheng did not have any outstanding qualities, his position would be unstable even if he ascended the throne in the future.

The treacherous court would not give Yu Sheng the opportunity to accumulate strength.

Thinking about it this way, the current emperor is really lucky and can catch up with everything.

Shen Changyu was thinking wildly in his mind. He turned around and watched Yu Sheng and others leave. Then he walked straight to the place where Yu Sheng had given him important instructions.

There was no difference between that place and the surrounding areas. If I had to say something, it would be that the guards were a little strange.

"Are they also Yulin Guards?" Why do they look unfamiliar? You know, Shen Changyu also worked here for a period of time, not to mention that Shen Changhe is an official.

Although the Yulin Guard is large and complex, there are many rules for selecting the guards, and there is a fixed number of people selected every year. For example, those who were able to accompany the emperor out of the palace this time must be mostly elderly people in the Yulin Guard.

There are so many unfamiliar faces, they must be spies planted by someone.

"My Lord Shen, these are the new Yulin Guards recruited this year.

I didn't originally plan to bring them out, but there was a temporary change in the Yulin Guards, so I had to do it. "It can be considered a lucky break.

"Don't worry, Lord Shen. They will not be assigned to guard the Holy Chariot nearby. They are only responsible for daily vigilance and exploration," someone added cleverly.

It would have been better not to say this. Shen Changyu felt even more uneasy after hearing it.

"Are they responsible for exploring the way?" Shen Changyu frowned. "Are they only responsible for a small section, or are they responsible for the whole thing?"

The clever guard was stuck, his eyes moved, and gave a general idea, "He is responsible for exploring the road in the morning."

Because there is a break at noon and in the afternoon, otherwise Yu Sheng would not be able to see these people.

In fact, Yu Sheng was too sensitive, because these people had been resting here all the time and did not make any extra movements on weekdays.

If Yu Sheng hadn't suddenly mentioned it to Shen Changyu, Shen Changyu wouldn't have paid attention to them and discovered that the problem was bigger than he had imagined.

With a normal expression, he waved his hand to send away the guards who gathered around him, and Shen Changyu turned back to the carriage.

Shen Chunbai was taking a break to catch his breath. He would need to continue his escort on horseback in the afternoon. Older people always feel tired.

Seeing that his eldest son came back early, which was unusual for him, Shen Chunbai hurriedly asked him the reason.

Shen Changyu mentioned the Yulin Guards who were exploring the way and expressed his own guess.

Shen Chunbai: …

"Is this true?" Maybe I'm thinking too much and am simply making a mistake.

Shen Changyu is not sure, but it is better to be prepared. "It is definitely better to take precautions in advance."

If there are really nails buried inside, they will be prepared and will not be overwhelmed to deal with it. If there are no nails buried, they can also rest assured.

“Then arrange personnel to disperse them and redeploy the pathfinder team.

A few days later, they arrived at a relatively narrow intersection, with small roads in front and behind, and soldiers and vehicles could only move in one direction. If someone really dared to ambush there, even if they won, it would only be a pyrrhic victory.

Shen Chunbai suddenly shuddered and felt uncomfortable all over when he thought of that scene.

He waved his hand and told Shen Changyu to get back to work; he couldn't wait any longer.

Forget it, forget it. "Let's go out together. I want to make another round of inspection as well."

What if there are any fish that slip through the net? But Yu Sheng is a really good kid, definitely more reliable than the current emperor.

…………

While the Emperor was eating, drinking and having fun on his throne, the Shen family father and son were busy checking for deficiencies and filling them up everywhere.

Time passed little by little, until one evening, the team arrived at the narrow intersection mentioned by Shen Chunbai.

The emperor immediately announced that the car should be stopped for a rest and the journey would continue early the next morning.

Everyone started to busy themselves with making a fire and cooking. Yu Sheng and Yu Xi were not obedient. They jumped off the carriage to take a walk and took Shen Changhe, who finally had some free time, with them.

"Your Highness, we can't go there. It's dangerous."

Shen Changhe was wearing a suit of armor, which made a clanging sound when he walked.

Yu Sheng waved his hand and said, "Uncle, don't be afraid. We are surrounded by guards arranged by our father." No one dared to rush out.

Shen Changhe: ...

"My Lord, it's getting late. We should go back and have dinner."

Shen Changhe walked quickly to Yu Sheng, raised his hand to stop Yu Sheng who was about to move forward, and shook his head as if to pull him back.

Yu Sheng was unhappy and frowned as he was about to argue with Shen Changhe. Unexpectedly, he seemed to notice something and grabbed Shen Changhe's arm with his backhand, "Uncle, let's go back."

Shen Changhehe shell, who wanted to say more profound truths, blinked his eyes and said "oh".

The uncle and nephew walked back. The slanting setting sun lengthened their shadows and also covered the mountains at the intersection not far away.

"Uncle, go tell Grandpa, this place is dangerous!"

Yu Sheng raised his hand to cover his mouth, his eyes twisting as he looked behind him.

Shen Changhe:……? !!!

Shen Changhe's eyes widened and his body creaked as if it was covered with rust.

He glanced behind him and said in disbelief, "Danger?" Here?

Yu Sheng nodded, "When we passed by just now, there was an ambush there."

Shen Changhe blurted out subconsciously, "How do you, a little kid, know that?"

Yu Sheng: ...

Yu Sheng looked at his not-so-bright uncle speechlessly, "What's wrong with the kid?" He is a prince and knows more than his uncle.

Letting go of his hand and pushing Shen Changhe forward, Yu Sheng urged the man to hurry up and not to dawdle with him here. You have to know that they will be the ones in danger in the end, so it will definitely be right to make preparations early.

Shen Changhe: ...I am convinced

Shen Changhe first sent Yu Sheng back to the carriage, then mobilized the surrounding guards to guard the area around the carriage, and then quickly ran to the tent where Shen Chunbai and Shen Changyu were resting, and whispered what Yu Sheng had mentioned.

Even though Shen Changhe didn't quite believe it in his heart, he had no choice but to obey.

No matter what, Yu Sheng is a prince, and his status is more important than that of his uncle.

Keeping in mind Shen Changyu's earnest instructions, Shen Changhe had no intention of fooling around or being perfunctory.

It was precisely because of Shen Changhe's obedience that the convoy was able to avoid greater losses this time.

When the sky is dark and everything is quiet.

Yu Sheng heard the sudden shouting and screaming outside.

Yu Xi was so scared that she shrank into Yu Sheng's arms, her whole body trembling, "Brother"

Yu Sheng hugged Yu Xi with his backhand, and asked Xiaofu and Xiaoji to go check on the situation. "Don't be afraid, Grandpa will protect us."

Yu Xi blinked her eyes and tried her best to control her trembling voice, "Really?"

But my father doesn’t care about them, grandpa, can he protect them?

Woo woo

It was indeed very dangerous outside the palace. Her mother was right. She would not go out next time.

Yu Xi muttered to herself about what to do next time, little did she know that in Yu Sheng's eyes, it was uncertain whether there would be a next time at all.

The scene that Xiaofu and Xiaoji saw was not very good, and they wanted to persuade the young masters to find a place to hide.

But it's a mess outside. Wouldn't it be even more tragic if you accidentally get hurt by your own people?

"Aunts, my sister and I are not going anywhere. I believe that grandpa and uncle will arrange everything."

The sounds of fighting and killing have not yet reached them, which means they are not dangerous.

In this case, there is no need to get off the carriage and rush around. It is better to wait and see what happens.

Yu Sheng is young but knows a lot, and is the backbone of everyone in the carriage.

Xiaofu and Xiaoji gave up the idea of ​​persuading them, and chose to have one person stay in the carriage while the other went outside to continue investigating the situation.

The farce did not end until dawn, and the originally clean and refreshing venue turned bloody and cruel.

Shen Changyu, fully armored, patrolled everywhere without taking a rest, fearing that some fish would slip through the net and bring trouble to his side.

"Master Shen"

"How is it here?"

Shen Changyu asked a few routine questions, and turned and left after confirming that everything was fine.

Shen Changhe ran over from not far away, "Brother, the imperial doctors are all gathered in the emperor's carriage, what about the two children?"

After a night of fighting, it was normal for the convoy to suffer some damage. Unfortunately, the emperor was provoked and stabbed by the thieves last night, which resulted in a lack of doctors to diagnose some injured courtiers and guards, which delayed the time.

Shen Changhe and Shen Changyu had to patrol outside in order to guard against the thieves' counterattack. As for their biological father Shen Chunbai, he was already waiting beside the emperor in case there was any problem and they couldn't find anyone.

"The prince and princess were just a little frightened. I heard from the servants that the queen prepared a lot of tranquilizers before leaving the palace. They can just take a nap and rest.

We can’t cause trouble at this time, so we have to let the princess and the prince suffer for now, and wait until everything is over.”

Fortunately, they were prepared last night. They had ambushed many guards in front of Yu Sheng and his companion's car in advance and stopped the group of desperate thieves.

Yu Sheng and Yu Xi were not physically injured, but the children did not look very well after listening to a whole night of fighting and killing.

Shen Changhe came over to ask the imperial physician to help diagnose his pulse in order to prevent it from becoming a serious illness that would affect his health.

However, Shen Changyu's words make sense. It is better to keep a low profile at this time. The emperor is injured, and everyone's eyes are focused on the emperor's carriage.

The prince and princess could only endure some grievances and take medicine obediently to recuperate.

"Brother, I will tell the palace servants to take good care of the two children."

By the way, the guards standing outside must keep a tight watch and must not let their guard down.

"Go ahead, I'll check it out again." At this moment, there was no need to worry about whether to rest or not. The most important thing was to settle the entire convoy.

The two brothers met briefly and then turned around and went back to their own business.

Everything that happened outside the palace was recorded by the system and transmitted to Shen Yao in the palace.

Shen Yao was quite shocked when she received such a big gift right after she woke up.

However, "The Emperor is injured again?" Shen Yao really found it funny. This was probably retribution.

"Host, the wound is a little bit on the same spot as the one in the chest that was stabbed before."

The system felt that God didn't want the emperor to live too long. Everyone else was fine, but the emperor himself was stimulated and injured by the thief.

Shen Yao thought of the imperial concubine who had died long ago. Oh, it turned out that it was the hole left by the hairpin.

Come to think of it, this matter has something to do with her. The emperor is really unlucky.

"Is the situation serious? How many years can he hold out?" Yu Sheng is less than eight years old at most, so it will take him at least five or six years to gain a firm foothold.

Can the Emperor, in this condition of increasing injuries, hold out for another five or six years?

"It's not serious. The imperial physician said it would shorten your lifespan. But if you take good care of yourself, you can definitely live for five or six years. Besides, the imperial physicians are highly skilled. The emperor's injury is just for show."

Shen Yao touched his chin, "Not necessarily. The emperor has been extravagant for many years. It is impossible for him to be obedient and not eat, drink and enjoy himself."

So the saying that you can live a few more years if you take good care of yourself is all lies.

The emperor would never do this, so Shen Yao still had to think about the consequences for them if the emperor did it in advance.

Can Yu Sheng support his identity as the new emperor, stabilize the court and the border, and prevent the State of Yu from continuing to struggle in the abyss, if not making a comeback?

Shen Yao has not forgotten that the State of Yu is on the decline. To make the State of Yu prosper is not something that a king can do alone. It will take at least several generations of unremitting efforts to see good results.
