Chapter 158 Enemies meet, not jealous yet.

Although Shen Yi was the guest at the dinner this time, he was eating with Zhang Jian after all. He ordered two ordinary side dishes symbolically, and handed the menu back to Zhang Jian. The young man, who was a little older, went to the second floor under the guidance of Xiao Er.

On the second floor of Yaoyue Building, there are a total of ten private rooms, the so-called private rooms. The single room where Shen Yi and Zhang Jian are located is not far from the stairs. At this moment, Shen Yi is facing the door with his back, and Zhang Jian is facing the door. Looking at the door, there was a waiter at the door waiting for two people to order food, so as soon as Mr. Zhao walked up the stairs, he saw Zhang Jian head-on.

This Young Master Zhao stopped in his tracks, then took a funny look at Zhang Jian, and smiled: "I heard that Mr. Zhang went out to work as a county magistrate for a few months, so he couldn't bear the hardship and came back to Jiankang to enjoy the blessings." , today it is as expected.”

This Mr. Zhao was dressed in blue, and walked to the door of their private room.

He first looked at Zhang Jian, and then at Shen Yi. It happened that Shen Yi turned his head to see who was talking outside, and the two looked at each other.

Zhang Jian didn't even raise her eyelids, she frowned slightly in disgust and said, "I'm in a good mood today, I don't bother to argue with you, just let it go, don't spoil my temper for eating."

Mr. Zhao gave a "tsk tsk", looked Zhang Jian up and down, and smiled: "Are you still so crazy?"

"Your old man is almost 70 years old, right? How many more years can you stay in the council hall? After a few more years, you, Zhang Jian, don't even have the qualifications to speak in front of me!"

Zhang Jian curled her lips in disdain.

"How many years can the Zhao family spend so much effort to curry favor with Yang Xiang in the meeting hall? I'm afraid it won't be longer than my old man?"

Mr. Zhao smiled again: "Mr. Yang is Mr. Yang, and my family is my family. What does Mr. Yang's matter have to do with my family?"

After all, this young master surnamed Zhao left with his hands behind his back and his head held high.

"Since we don't like each other, let's wait and see."

Before leaving, Mr. Zhao said such a harsh word.

After he walked away, Shen Yi looked at Zhang Jian and asked softly, "Brother, who is this?"

Shen Yi didn't know Mr. Zhao.

Although Mr. Zhao played a big role in the Jiangdu grain merchant incident, from the beginning to the end, Mr. Zhao was hidden behind the scenes. Shen Yi didn't even know that Mr. Zhao was involved, let alone met him. In the grain merchant incident.

"A dandy in Jiankang City, he was born as a noble general."

Zhang Jian snorted: "I'm about the same age as him, and I haven't dealt with him very much since I was a child. This guy has been in Jiankang all these years, and he has committed many crimes."

Shen Yi was a little surprised: "Senior brother is a prime minister, in Jiankang City, is there any general who dares to bark his teeth with senior brother?"

The status of Da Chen's military officer is generally not high.

Because when Emperor Taizu established the country, he learned the lesson of military generals becoming bigger and more self-reliant. In the first few decades of the establishment of the country, Chen Guo began to weaken military generals in all aspects, weakening military generals from all aspects of status and power. His status declined severely, and finally he was far inferior to civil servants.

This is also the reason why Chen Guo suffered a disastrous defeat in the north 60 years ago and had to retreat to half of the country in the south of the Yangtze River.

But even after the south crossing, the status of military generals is still inferior to that of civilian officials. Those generals are as well-behaved as chicken cubs in front of the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of the Ministry of War, let alone the prime minister!
Logically speaking, there should be no general in Jiankang City who would dare to oppose Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian pointed at the menu, ordered four or five small dishes, ordered a jug of wine, and then handed the menu to Xiao Er. After Xiao Er left, he looked at Shen Yi and said lightly: " Other generals are naturally not as arrogant as him, but the Zhao family is different, back then..."

Zhang Jian took a deep breath and said, "When Shizong crossed the river from the south, it was the ancestors of his Zhao family who successfully blocked the Hu soldiers on the Huai River. They fought continuously for several months and repelled the Qi army several times."

Speaking of this, Zhang Jian's face was a little unsightly.

"So far, the Huaihe Navy is still in charge of their Zhao family, which is why he dares to be so arrogant."

The Huaihe River is the boundary river between Southern Chen and Northern Qi. For decades, the two sides have faced each other across the river and had disputes with each other. Chen's army has fought against the Huaihe River several times, and fought with Northern Qi between the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River. However, Northern Qi has never fought against the Huaihe River. Came to the south of the Huai River.

It is because Chen Guo has a mighty Huaihe navy built with countless state funds!

The status of the Huaihe Navy can be imagined in Chen Guo.

After listening to Zhang Jian's words, Shen Yi was thoughtful.

He was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "If the Zhao family can control the navy for 60 years, then the thing that Da Chen doesn't want to go to the Northern Expedition should be..."

"It should be these Zhao family members."

The existence of the Huaihe Navy gave the Zhao family a detached position in the court of the Chen Kingdom, and even had the taste of the number one general. Once the confrontation between the Northern and Southern Dynasties ended, no matter which side won the North and the South, the Huaihe River would become an inland river, and the Huaihe River would become an inland river. The navy will also lose its current detached status.

"Isn't it?"

Zhang Jian said in a muffled voice: "Over the years, the Zhao family and people from Yang Xiang's family have gotten very close, isn't it because these two groups of people don't want to fight?"

Mr. Zhang said coldly: "In the past two years, among the people who proposed to move the capital to Jiankang, the Zhao family was the most vocal. General Zhao who refused to join Hengjiang was our great Chen hero. I recognize this, but now The Zhao family..."

Having said that, Zhang Jian snorted.

"Forget it, don't mention these useless things, let's eat ours."

After saying this, Zhang Jian looked towards the door of the private room, just as Xiao Er pushed open the door of the private room and served the first dish.

Just as Xiao Er was serving the food, Shen Yi also heard a familiar voice.

"Xiao Er, which private room is Mr. Zhao in?"

Xiaoer had just finished serving the dishes on Shen Yi's table, when he heard the words, he turned his head immediately, and said in a low voice to the voice: "Master Zhao, Mr. Zhao is in the moon room, and the villain will lead you there."

After finishing speaking, the little girl lowered her head and led the young man who was talking to find Mr. Zhao.

Shen Yi sat there, expressionless, without saying a word.

Zhang Jian noticed something was wrong with Shen Yi, he looked at Shen Yi, and asked, "What's wrong with you, Junior Brother? Is there something wrong?"

Shen Yi took a deep breath and regained his calm. He looked up at Zhang Jian and shook his head slightly: "It's okay, brother, I heard the voice of an enemy."

Shen Yi has many enemies.

The four people who beat and killed Chen Qing in Jiangdu back then, and injured him, were all his enemies. Even Feng Lu, Jiangdu's predecessor, who has now left office, can also be regarded as his enemy.

But there is only one person who has the greatest hatred against him.

Fan Dongcheng...

Shen Yi heard it very clearly, it was definitely Fan Dongcheng's voice just now.

With Zhang Jian here today, of course Shen Yi would not be afraid of a Fan Dongcheng, and Fan Dongcheng would not dare to make trouble in a restaurant like Yaoyuelou, where the second generation obviously lived. The reason why Shen Yi did not expose himself was because there was no need for that.

Hiding in the dark makes it much easier to do things.

"Oh?"

Zhang Jian was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Brother with such a good temper, does he still have enemies?"

"Have."

Shen Yi also smiled: "My enemy, I seem to have gone to drink with that Mr. Zhao."

After hearing Shen Yi's words, Zhang Jian was taken aback for a moment, then picked up the wine glass, touched Shen Yi, and smiled.

"That's quite a coincidence."

Mr. Zhang said with a chuckle, "It just corresponds to the four words that things of a kind gather together."

Zhang Jian raised her head and gulped it down.

Shen Yi also drank it down, and replied with a smile.

"Yes, it is indeed a coincidence."
