Chapter 164 A Rare Opportunity

The behavior of the emperor will always be the top secret.

Generally, only a close person like Gao Ming, or some prime ministers in charge, can know the emperor's whereabouts accurately. After all, if this thing is known in advance, Jiankang City is not without people, and there will definitely be problems. .

Therefore, when Gao Ming said these words to Shen Yi, not only did he let the two young eunuchs leave, but he didn't say it explicitly, but only vaguely hinted at Shen Yi.

But this is well understood.

Who is Gao Ming?Inner court chief eunuch!Half of the imperial court's inner minister!

Naturally, it would not be a trivial matter for him to come and talk about it in person. As long as you think about it, Jiming Temple's hint after those three days is easy to understand.

Most likely...the emperor will come to Jiming Temple.

Seeing that Shen Yi seemed to understand what he meant, Gao Ming stood up, reached out and patted Shen Yi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Shen understands, our family will not disturb Mr. Shen's rest, but Mr. Shen must remember .”

The smile on his face subsided, and he said lightly: "Don't pass on what our family told you today, otherwise, once the inner guard finds out, Mr. Shen, don't talk about your future, I'm afraid you may not be able to save your life."

Shen Yi could understand the seriousness of leaking the emperor's whereabouts, even if Gao Ming didn't say anything, he quickly lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law, I didn't hear anything today."

"Ah."

Eunuch Gao got up slowly, and smiled at Shen Yi: "Speaking of which, that day when the princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty sought Mr. Shen, I don't know why?"

Gao Ming asked this question casually.

But Shen Yi felt a "click" in his heart.

He had a faint feeling in his heart that what Gao Ming said earlier was irrelevant, and this casual question was the most critical question today.

Shen Qilang's brain was running fast.

He lowered his head slowly, clasped his fists at Eunuch Gao, and said, "To be honest with Eunuch Gao, I once wrote two little poems, which somehow got to the ears of that Northern Qi princess, and that princess said..."

"Northern Qi's attitude towards us Da Chen is that we can provoke the court but not the wild. She thinks that the poems she wrote may arouse the people's resistance to Qi, so she wants to win over the subordinates to join the Qi."

Gao Ming remained calm and looked at Shen Yi quietly: "And then?"

Shen Yi's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "My father-in-law should also know that I am from Jiangdu Prefecture, my great-grandfather Lie Shangong, who used to be a member of the Ministry of Industry of the Chen Dynasty, and my uncle Yingdagong, who used to be a supervisory censor."

"My Shen family is a Chen Chen, and I have received the grace of the country. How can I be with the northern barbarians?"

Shen Yi said righteously: "At that time, I was filled with righteous indignation, I directly picked up the tea on the table, and splashed the face of the Qi Ren princess. If it wasn't because she was a woman, I would have raped her at that time!"

Hearing this, Gao Ming looked at the gauze on Shen Yi's head, and smiled: "Later, what is the injury on Mr. Shen's head?"

"What the guards of the princess of the Qi people did."

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said: "I'm ashamed to say that the next scholar is not the opponent of those warriors."

"It's been pretty good."

Gao Ming lowered his head slightly and said, "That's all for today. Our family still has a lot of things to deal with, so I'll take my leave."

After saying this, Gao Ming took out a purple wooden sign from his sleeve. There was no writing on both sides of the wooden sign, but the pattern was exquisite and quite tasteful.

"Master Shen will go to Jiming Temple in three days, remember to bring this sign, otherwise you may not be able to enter some places."

After saying this, Eunuch Gao walked away, and Shen Yi walked him all the way to the door, and then watched the sedan chair leave his house, further and further away.

After the sedan chair was gone, Shen Yi took the sign in his hand, watched it carefully, and then returned to his room with the purple wooden sign.

After returning to the house, he sat on a chair, looking at the wooden sign and thinking to himself.

"The emperor should go to Jiming Temple in three days, but..."

He frowned slightly, struggling with a question in his mind.

"It's just that the emperor wants to see me, or..."

"Eunuch Gao arranged for me to meet the emperor..."

………………

Three days later, the weather was fine and the wind was mild.

It's still early April, and although the weather is getting hot, it's not very hot, and the temperature is still a little low in the morning and evening.

Shen Yi woke up early.

Because this is a rare opportunity for him!

There are countless capital officials in Jiankang City. Although many people have seen the emperor from a distance during the grand court meeting, there are not many who can really see the emperor in private!
But this time, Shen Yi might have a chance to meet the emperor in private!
Although Shen Yi doesn't want to be a minister, and he doesn't want to be "lucky", but if he can meet the big boss before he "joins the job" and leave a good impression in front of the big boss, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to his future career. beneficial.

What's more, if the big boss is happy, his future "onboarding" process may go much smoother!

Therefore, in order to prepare for this meeting, Shen Yi deliberately read books on etiquette in Liquan Building for a day, so as not to lose his manners before driving.

Originally, one could ask that cheap senior uncle Zhao Changping about this kind of matter, but eunuch Gao told him not to tell anyone, so Shen Yi didn't go to Zhao's house to disturb Zhao Shilang.

Because he got up too early, after Shen Yi got up, the sky outside had just dawned.

He stopped a scooter on the main street of Jiankang City, and drove towards the Jiming Temple outside the city in the scooter.

Jiming Temple is one of the famous temples in Jiankang. The incense is at its peak. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, there are crowds of people. Fortunately, today is not the first day or the fifteenth day of the new year. When Shen Yi arrived at Jiming Temple, he found that there was a There were not many people. He stood on the mountain road and looked around for a while, but he didn't see any guards guarding him.

But since they are all here, they will naturally go up.

Someone Shen touched the wooden sign in his sleeve, became more courageous, and walked along the mountain road towards Jiming Temple.

Although Jiming Temple is at the foot of the mountain, it is not very high. After climbing for a while, Shen Yi arrived at the gate of Jiming Temple just as the sun was rising.

After arriving at the door, he looked left and right, but he still didn't see any inner guards guarding him.

Moreover, at the entrance of Jiming Temple, you can still see pedestrians coming in and out. Although there are not many people, there are still many.

Obviously, Jiming Temple is not closed.

It stands to reason that if the emperor wants to come, no matter how prosperous the temple is, it should be closed to welcome the holy driver, but Jiming Temple has not closed the temple...

Shen Yi muttered in his heart.

"Eunuch Gao won't lie to me..."

I think so, but Jiming Temple still has to be entered. Even if the emperor does not come, it is not a loss to go in and visit the ancient temple.

With this in mind, Shen Yi stepped into the gate of Jiming Temple.

Jiming Temple is built on the mountain, and there are still many steps after entering the temple. Shen Yi followed the pedestrians and believers, turned left and right, and when he was tired, he found a place to sit and rest in the temple for a while.

In this way, Shen Yi waited from morning to noon, but he didn't see the emperor's figure, and he didn't even see the shadow of an inner guard.

At noon, when Shen Yi was watching the Avalokitesvara 33 Dharma Body in a temple, a little novice came running over in a hurry, and put his hands together in front of Shen Yi.

"This benefactor, I'm really sorry, the small temple is closed this afternoon, so we can't entertain the benefactor..."
