marquis of jingan

Chapter 1003
Looking at the gold medal, Shen Yi didn't recover for a while.

Undoubtedly, the emperor was very generous this time, almost granting Shen Yi all the authority that could be given to Shen Yi.

However, there are still some problems with the emperor's "decree".

First of all, Shen Yi did not see the imperial decree, that is to say, the emperor's words were probably said by him himself, and did not go through Prime Minister Zhongshu.

Somewhat out of line.

If it was placed on some rotten scholars, they might refuse to accept this decree, thinking that the emperor was making a decree indiscriminately.

But Shen Yi didn't have any worries in this regard. Although he was born as a Jinshi, he was not in the same way as those scholars in the imperial court. He was a proper emperor's party in the imperial court.

Now that you come out to do things, the emperor has also authorized it, so there is no need to pay attention to the feelings of those scholars.

However, there is still a big problem in the emperor's decree.

That is... Even though he has authorized Shen Yi to control the Huaihe Navy, will the Huaihe Navy be controlled by Shen Yi obediently?

This is a very important question.

Because as a general, the most important thing is not to know the enemy, but to know yourself.

First of all, you must know how many troops you have, or how much combat power you have.

If the Huaihe Navy is in an unknown state of availability, for Shen Yi, it is better to simply be unavailable.

Thinking of this, he first reached out to take the sign, put it in his sleeve, and then asked with a smile: "Deputy Marshal Du, may I ask if His Majesty's imperial decree is only sent to me, or is it also copied to the Huaihe Navy?" ?”

Du Yong quickly said: "What is Shen Shilang talking about? This is a major matter related to military power. Naturally, it is impossible to know the Huaihe Navy. General Zhao of the Huaihe Navy may know this news better than Shen Shilang. earlier."

Having said that, he cupped his fists towards Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Shen Yilang, he has won the holy family at a young age, and holds a heavy soldier in his hand. He really has a bright future."

He said with emotion: "If things go on like this, Shen Shilang will probably become a pilgrimage minister before his thirtieth year."

Shen Yi squinted his eyes first, then shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Deputy Marshal Du made fun of me, I am now no different from a general who is leading the army abroad, not to mention that I am a prime minister, even returning to the Ministry of War is far away."

Du Yong sat down again, took a sip of tea, and said with a soft smile: "Shen Shilang, before the next official came, Eunuch Gao once met the next official."

"Gao Gonggong asked the subordinate officials to tell Shen Shilang that after Shen Shilang captured Xuzhou, His Majesty, Longyan Dayue, has already discussed with several prime ministers about the rewards. When Xuzhou is completely stabilized, the imperial court's rewards will arrive immediately."

Master Shen took a sip of his tea and laughed dumbfoundedly.

"What kind of reward makes Deputy Commander Du so mysterious."

He looked at Shen Yi and lowered his voice slightly: "Uncle Jiang."

After saying these three words, Du Yong lowered his head slightly, and said with a smile: "This is the first prince in this dynasty, and the grandeur of Shen Shilang's holy family is beyond compare."

Hearing these words, Shen Yi silently put down the tea that had been brought to his mouth, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head slightly and smiled: "Not to mention whether there is such a title, even if there is, it will be after the imperial court regained Xuzhou .”

"Let's not mention it for now."

Du Yong sighed again and again: "Shen Shilang is really like water. If this matter is placed on the lower official, the lower official may not be able to sleep for days and nights. Shen Shilang just said a few words, and passed away lightly."

Shen Yi said with a smile: "It's useless to think about things you haven't got."

"It's not easy for the deputy commander and the brothers of the inner guards to enter Xuzhou all the way. I'll treat you guys to a good meal and a drink at noon today."

Du Yong stood up, first bowed to express his gratitude, and then said with a smile: "Shen Shilang, of course you must eat and drink, but the officer must first know what is going on in Xuzhou and how the battle is going, so I can report it to the palace."

Master Shen was taken aback, and asked, "Can I say these things?"

It stands to reason that when the inner guards come to Xuzhou, no matter what the situation is, they should listen and see by themselves, and then report what they hear and see to the palace.

It is definitely not acceptable to directly ask Shen Yi, the "current manager" of Xuzhou.

Du Yong lowered his head slightly and said: "Before coming, Eunuch Gao said that after arriving in Xuzhou, he should immediately report the situation in Xuzhou. The subordinate officials have just arrived in Xuzhou, and it is too late to see it by themselves, so they can only ask Shen Shilang first and report to the palace. "

He lowered his head slightly and said: "Shen Shilang, you have made outstanding contributions, and the next official can be trusted."

Only then did Shen Yi smile in relief, and said: "When you are eating, I will say whatever you want to ask."

Speaking of this, he paused, and then asked: "By the way, Deputy Marshal Du, I want to send a letter back to Dachen territory now, can I send it?"

Du Yong replied without hesitation: "Good delivery. According to His Majesty's instructions, there are nearly 500 people in the inner guard at the moment, and they are responsible for maintaining normal communication."

Master Shen nodded with a smile, and said, "Then please, Deputy Marshal Du, send a letter for me."

Du Yong patted his chest and agreed without hesitation.

"Leave it to the subordinate officer."

………………

Fengyang Mansion, the mansion of the General Army of the Huaihe Navy.

This is the residence of Zhao Lu, Marquis of Anping, the general of the Huaihe Navy, and his official residence on the front line.

On weekdays, General Zhao didn't like staying in this house very much, because the Huaihe River defense line was long, and he needed to ride horses often to patrol along the Huaihe River.

But recently, Zhao Lu hadn't left Fengyang City, this general yamen for a long time.

He sat withered in his study and sometimes didn't come out for a whole day.

Everyone knew that he was in a bad mood, and no one dared to disturb him, except for Major General Zhao Zhuo who could occasionally enter the study, no one else could enter.

On this day, Major General Zhao Zhuo knocked on the door of the study with gritted teeth, and said in a low voice, "Father, the inner guard is here."

In the study, there was silence.

After a while, the door came slowly. General Zhao was dressed in blue plain clothes, and he lost a lot of weight. He seemed to be in a bad state of mind.

"Lead the way."

Zhao Zhuo responded, and led Zhao Lu to the front house, where he saw the Neiwei coming in the living room.

This man's surname is Zheng, and he is a school lieutenant of the Neiwei. After seeing Zhao Lu, this school lieutenant Zheng quickly stood up, clasped his fists respectfully, bowed his head and saluted, "I pay my respects to Lord Hou."

Zhao Lu sat on the main seat, glanced at the man, and asked, "Lieutenant Zheng..."

"What's the matter here?"

"I'm here to report to Lord Hou."

He took out a letter from his sleeve, held it in front of Zhao Lu with both hands, bowed his head and said: "Master Hou, this is the letter sent by the servant of the Ministry of War, Mr. Shen Yishen, from Xuzhou. I specifically explained that it must be delivered to Zhao Lu. Lord Marquis, in your hands."

Hearing his words, Zhao Lu raised his head and glanced at Zhao Zhuo who was standing next to him. The Major General shook his head slightly, expressing that he didn't know about it.

After all, Zhao Houye had seen strong winds and waves, he reached out to take it lightly, and asked: "Besides that, is there anything else for Colonel Zheng?"

The man in the inner guard shook his head quickly: "The letter has been delivered, there is nothing to do with the humble post, so I will leave now."

Zhao Lu nodded silently, and said, "Zhuo'er, let someone arrange for Captain Zheng's food and drinks."

Zhao Zhuo nodded, turned around and ordered a servant of the General Military Mansion to take Captain Zheng down to eat and drink.

After Captain Zheng left, the father and son looked at the letter lying quietly on the desk without speaking to each other.

Because both father and son knew that, theoretically speaking, Shen Yi had become their leader.

And this letter must come from a bad person.

After a while, Zhao Lu said slowly, "You can open the letter."

Zhao Zhuo nodded, and picked up the letter from the table.

There are some reminiscence parts in the front.

It was only after the last few sentences that Master Shen began to talk about serious matters.

"My younger brother was very terrified when he was granted the imperial edict at the beginning. He felt that with his insignificant talent, how could he restrain the famous general?"

"However, the holy grace is like dew, and the holy power is like prison."

"Although my younger brother is away, I dare not accept it, dare not refuse it."

"Now, I have received the holy will to coordinate the armies, but I have been in Qidi for a long time, and I really don't understand the Huaihe Navy, so I can't coordinate."

"My brother heard that Zhao Zhuo, the commander of the Huaihe Navy, is proficient in water warfare and familiar with the military affairs of the Huaihe Navy. I am now writing to my brother to transfer Zhao Zhuo, the commander of the Huaihe Navy, to the north of Xuzhou. First, we can exchange news, and second, I can learn more about it. Huaihe navy."

At this point, this East Letter has finally been written.

After Zhao Zhuo finished reading, both hands trembled slightly in anger.

"father…"

Zhao Zhuo gritted his teeth slightly, and said, "Shen Qi, I want to transfer my son away from your side and transfer him to Xuzhou!"

Lord Zhao Hou stood up silently, reached out to take the document in Zhao Zhuo's hand, and read it carefully.

After reading it, he exhaled a foul breath, and his face was a little unsightly.

"This fellow Shen Qi..."

Lord Anping silently clenched his fist.

"Too much deceit..."
