marquis of jingan

Chapter 197
Zhou Jin'an is Da Chen's enemy.

This man is a general of the Northern Qi Dynasty. He is over 60 years old this year. He was a middle-level general in the Northern Qi Dynasty as early as in the Xianzong Dynasty. During the Xianzong Dynasty, Emperor Xianzong defeated the Northern Qi twice. After a setback, some psychological distortions followed.

By the time of the Xiandi Dynasty, Zhou Jinan was already a general of the Northern Qi Dynasty. When the Xiandi sent troops to the Northern Expedition, it was this Zhou Jinan who led the Qi army to stop the Chen army between the Jianghuai River and Huaihe River. His methods were very despicable and his character was extremely cruel.

This person is a Hu who changed his surname to a Han, and did not regard the Han as a human being. He let the Han people rush to the forefront when they rushed to the battle, and even forced nearly a thousand Han civilians to commit suicide in front of the Chen army, so that the Chen army was restless. Morale plummeted, and they were finally defeated in the Jianghuai area.

After defeating Chen Jun, Zhou Jin'an went on a killing spree in Jianghuai. During his three years in Jianghuai alone, at least tens of thousands of civilians died directly or indirectly in his hands!
This Zhou Jin'an, also because of the defeat of Chen Guo, was named a general by the Northern Qi Dynasty, and he was extremely honored and favored.

This person is known as a human butcher in the Northern Qi Dynasty, especially in Yandu City!
In Chen Guo's country, this Zhou Jin'an has always been one of the top few people on Da Chen's assassination list. In the past ten years or so, many spies in Chen Guo have died because of this.

Not only Chen Guoren wanted him to die, but also many Han people in the north wanted him to die. Even the Hu nobles in the Northern Qi Dynasty felt that Zhou Jin'an was a bit too cruel.

And now, the man is finally dead.

There is no news about how he died, but what is certain is that Zhou Jinan has already died, and the reason announced by the Northern Qi court was "sudden death due to serious illness".

"It's good to die."

The little emperor took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes: "It's a pity that this man didn't die in my hands. I always wanted to catch him in Jiankang, so that I could concoct him."

Gao Ming bowed his head respectfully and said: "Zhou Jin'an has done all kinds of evil things, this time he will be punished by heaven."

The little emperor gave a "hmm", looked at Gao Ming, and asked, "I've been in Renshou Palace for a long time, is there anything urgent to deal with?"

Gao Ming shook his head, and said: "Zhongshu seems to know that His Majesty is not in Deqing Hall, and there are not many memorials sent today, and there is nothing that His Majesty needs to deal with urgently."

"These old guys..."

The little emperor snorted softly: "You really understand people."

After hearing the little emperor's eccentric words, Eunuch Gao seemed to think of something, and said: "By the way, Your Majesty, Shen Yi sent the manuscript of the sixth issue of the mansion newspaper this afternoon, and it's already in the palace. Would you like to read it first?" Look? If Your Majesty doesn’t read it, try your best to hand it over to the Mansion Newspaper Department tomorrow morning, and let them arrange the sixth edition of the Mansion Newspaper.”

The little emperor sat on his own soft couch and yawned: "I have nothing else to do here and there, so just bring it to me to have a look, it will be a pastime."

Gao Ming respectfully responded, and handed over Shen Yi's manuscript. The manuscript written by Shen Yi was nearly [-] characters long. Although the emperor read it quickly, it took him almost half an hour to read it from beginning to end. Throwing the manuscript aside, he said with a smile: "The things written by this Shen Yi are more interesting than those written by those two-legged book bags in the Imperial Academy. I really can't stand the things written by those book bags."

"There's no problem. I'll send it to the Dibao Division for typesetting tomorrow."

Eunuch Gao bowed his head, respectfully.

The little emperor seemed to think of something, and said, "By the way, what date is the Ministry of Rites for this year's township examination?"

Eunuch Gao lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, the date of Qiu Wei discussed by the Ministry of Rites last month was originally the seventh day of September, but after calculation by Qin Tianjian, it was changed to September 24th, and there is still half a month before the day of Qiu Wei." .”

The little emperor looked at Gao Ming, then at the manuscript handed over by Shen Yi, and suddenly smiled: "I'm going to take the Qiuwei exam in half a month, and you still go to him to urge the manuscript for the mansion. It’s okay if you win, but if you don’t win, you have a reason to come and make trouble with your Eunuch Gao.”

Gao Ming lowered his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are joking. Whether you are successful or not depends on Shen Yi's personal knowledge..."

"Ah."

The little emperor put his hands behind his back and said: "Qiu Wei is also a national test, and I won't get involved in it, but if he wins in Qiu Wei this year, the palace can't be stingy, so we should reward him with something. After all, he has already written six issues of the palace newspaper."

Eunuch Gao rolled his eyes, as if he understood the meaning of the emperor, he lowered his head slightly and said, "I entrust your majesty's house, I think Shen Yi must be accepted."

The little emperor glanced at Gao Ming, then stretched himself and sat in his seat.

"I didn't say anything. If he can take the exam, let him take the exam himself. If he really fails the exam, you can try to think about it again. Do you understand?"

Eunuch Gao bowed his head deeply.

"The servant understands."

………………

On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, Shen Yi was quite busy.

Not to mention writing the manuscript at home in the morning, after having dinner with his friends at noon, he went to submit the manuscript to the palace in the afternoon. In the evening, he finally found some free time and was going home to rest. I saw a familiar figure at the door of my house.

After seeing this person, Shen Yi quickly went up to meet him, bowed his hands and saluted him, and said politely: "Senior Brother Yi An."

It was Zhang Jian and Zhang Yi'an.

Seeing Shen Yi, Zhang Jian also showed a smile on his face. He stretched out his hand, grabbed Shen Yi's sleeve, helped Shen Yi up, and said with a smile: "Good Shen Qi, let me find it easily!"

Shen Yi raised his head, smiled at Zhang Jian and said, "When did senior brother come back to Jiankang?"

At the beginning of the year, Zhang Jian rushed back from Jiangdu Mansion. After staying at home for a while, he was reprimanded by Zhao Changping, and then went back to Jiangdu to "busy with his career". After a few months, Shen Yi never saw him again. Seeing the figure of Mr. Zhang.

Zhang Jian chuckled: "I came back last night to spend the Double Ninth Festival with my grandparents and my family."

Speaking of this, he coughed and said: "Qilang, don't get me wrong, I only asked for three days off from the government office for my brother, and I will go back to Jiangdu tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to do business."

Jiangdu is too close to Jiankang, only less than two hundred miles away, and riding a horse is only a day's journey, so Zhang Jian can easily return to Jiankang.

If it is a later life, Zhang Jian can even live in Jiankang and drive to Jiangdu to "work".

Shen Yi smiled and said: "Since it is so easy to go back to Jiankang, senior brother is not at home to accompany the old man, why did you come to my house to find me?"

"I've already met the old man at home, isn't this afternoon to visit my mentor?"

Zhang Jian glanced at Shen Yi, said with a smile: "The teacher said, today's Double Ninth Festival, my wife has prepared a table of wine and vegetables at home, let me come to you, and we two brothers, go to the teacher's house for the festival."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xianzun took a look at Shen Yi up and down, and said, "I heard from the teacher this afternoon, Qilang, you are now appreciated by His Majesty, and you are already a little celebrity in Jiankang City!"

"The uncle was joking."

Shen Yi shook his head modestly: "Didn't the palace run a mansion newspaper? I just write something for the palace in my free time."

"That's amazing, too."

Zhang Xianzun pulled Shen Yi, smiled and said: "Okay, stop talking about these gossips, when I came here just now, Master Mistress was already preparing food and wine at home, and it's probably ready by now..."

He speaks humorously.

"Teacher, he doesn't treat guests lightly. We brothers usually come to the house with gifts during the New Year and holidays. This time, we have to eat back!"
