marquis of jingan

Chapter 260 Wind from the North!

Soon after Gu Hengbo finished playing a piece of pipa, the eldest son Li Mu applauded and said with a smile: "Master Gu is amazing, he is indeed the most famous pipa master on the Qinhuai River. Half a month later, my father, Wang Dashou, Please, everyone, go to my house for a walk."

Although Gu Hengbo has a high status in Qinhuaihe, it is difficult to bargain with the second generation of Li Mu's level. This Gu family stood up, saluted Li Mu respectfully, and said: "My son orders, my concubine Follow your own destiny."

Then she looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "Can this song catch Mr. Shen's eyes?"

Shen Yi was talking to Li Mu just now, and didn't listen to the song in detail, but at this time, it is natural to deal with it perfunctorily.

He smiled and nodded, "Master Gu's pipa music is naturally excellent."

"Since Mr. Shen gave me face, then the lyrics for this song...?"

Shen Yi thought for a while, then lowered his eyebrows and said: "Poems are natural, you can't just write them if you want to. In half a month, everyone has to rehearse in advance, so the time is even more urgent. In such a short time, Shen may not be able to write." Come up with a good word."

Gu Hengbo's eyes showed disappointment, she looked at Li Mu, and said softly: "My son...do you see?"

Li Mu smiled and said: "Qilang has a lot of connections with my Prince Jin's mansion. If he can help, he will naturally help, but poetry is not something that can be written just by writing it. Well, Qilang wrote it here, everyone Gu. You don’t have to wait for him, you can also find some other talents to help write the lyrics, and if Qilang writes it by then, whichever is easier to use will be fine.”

This kind of talk is typical and muddled, and it is also the method these so-called "upper people" are best at, especially His Majesty the Emperor, who basically does this kind of thing every day.

Gu Hengbo smiled and nodded, and after bowing to the two of them, he twisted his waist and went downstairs.

After Gu Hengbo left, Shen Yi also stood up, cupped his hands at Li Mu and said, "Your Majesty, I still have some chores to deal with, so I will take my leave."

"Not in a hurry."

Li Mu pulled Shen Yi's sleeves and sat down, then poured a cup of tea for Shen Yi, and said to Shen Yi: "Today's Mansion News has been spread all over Jiankang, and it has a very big impact, but the real effect of things like Mansion News is Affect court affairs."

The prince of Jin said meaningfully: "Today is the Shangyuan Festival, and tomorrow is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, which is the day when the imperial court's rest is over and the grand court meeting will be held."

Tomorrow, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, is indeed an extremely important day.

Because tomorrow, Prime Minister Yang, who has been in charge of the government for many years, is likely to formally resign and step down from the position of prime minister.

This is a huge change for the court!

However, no matter how big the changes in the court were, not to mention changing a few prime ministers, even if the emperor suddenly collapsed, it would not have any direct impact on Shen Yi.

He took the tea that Li Mu handed over with both hands, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you should say this to the Prince of Jin, or to the six ministers of the imperial court, but no matter who you tell it to, you should always tell it to me." No way."

"Why can't you tell?"

He lowered his head and took a sip of tea, looked at Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "I am not serving in the court, and I have no official position like Qilang. Think of it as small talk."

"correct."

He looked at Shen Yi, and asked with a smile: "Since Qilang is back, why hasn't Uncle Shen come back? Is there something at home?"

"Almost forgot to tell Shizi."

Only then did Shen Yi remember that when he was in his hometown, he promised his father to help him "ask for leave", and immediately said: "My brother will also take a scientific examination at home this year. I'm going to stay at home for a while, I can't say take care of him, at least two people have someone to take care of him."

"When father is done with his work, maybe he will return to Prince Jin's mansion..."

"Uncle Shen has been in our house for more than ten years. As long as he is willing to come back, my family will naturally welcome him."

Speaking of which, Li Mu looked at Shen Yi, and said with a half-joking smile: "However, if Qilang takes the test this year, Uncle Shen may not be able to come back again. When I am free in the future, I will go to Jiangdu and have a look. Look at him."

Li Mu's words were purely on the scene.

Because although Shen Zhang has been working in his family for more than ten years, he is just an ordinary steward in the palace. Li Mu may have some friendship with that Gu Changshi of the palace, but with Shen Zhang...

It can't be said that they have deep feelings, it can only be said that they are not very familiar.

Shen Yi also understood very well that the prince was speaking politely, but he still couldn't figure it out at the moment, why did this nobleman from the royal family say such "flattering" words to himself?

Now... Although I am a Juren, but compared with the second generation Wang who was reincarnated precisely like him, my status is still far behind.

Could it be, his remarks about looking north?Impressed the family of Prince Jin's Mansion?

Shen Yi didn't take Li Mu's face seriously either. After the two drank tea and chatted a few gossips, Shen Yi suddenly remembered something. He looked at Li Mu and asked, "Your Majesty, the Princess Izumo of the Northern Qi Dynasty , are you still in Jiankang now?"

"Yes, why not?"

Speaking of Princess Izumo, Li Mu's expression was a little unsightly. He took a deep breath and said, "A few years ago, the people of Qi even sent a letter of credence, saying that if Da Chen was rude to their princess again, it would be a shame to this princess." Princess Izumo ignores it, and after they thaw this spring, they will come to the Huaihe River again..."

Speaking of this, Li Mu snorted: "No one was frightened by these words, even the old man Yang didn't say anything, only the empress dowager in the harem was frightened, our empress dowager, who is already in the middle of the year It's about marrying Princess Izumo into the palace."

What Li Mu said was first-hand news from within the royal family, news that Shen Yi had never heard of.

He was dumbfounded, and asked: "Li... Lihou?"

"Of course not after standing."

Li Mu said in a muffled voice: "It's probably for a noble concubine. I also understand what the Queen Mother means. Most likely she wants to throw the princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty into the palace. After giving her a title, she will ignore her..."

"woman…"

Li Mu still held back, and did not say the words "women's opinion".

He said coldly: "He came to Jiankang just to become a queen, marry her into the palace, and if he doesn't make a queen for her, the people of Qi will have an excuse to trouble us!"

Shen Yi lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

It is actually not uncommon for the royal families of the two countries to marry each other. Now in Yandu City of the Northern Qi Dynasty, there are still a few princesses of the Chen Kingdom. Originally, the princesses of the Northern Qi Dynasty eagerly rushed to Jiankang City to "ask for marriage", which is not a shame. The matter, after all, His Majesty the Emperor was young, and it was time for him to get married.

The problem is, this Northern Qi princess is not a serious princess, nor is she the daughter of the Northern Qi emperor.

Moreover, she is also in contact with the spies placed by the Qi people in Jiankang.

What's more, if the emperor married her into the palace, he wouldn't be able to ignore her if he just ignored her. Her natal family was very powerful and she was unhappy in the palace. If she wrote a letter to her natal family, her natal family would have another The reason for cutting Chen!
As for the timidity of the empress dowager, it is not surprising.

After all, this empress dowager is only 34 years old this year, and may not be married in future generations...

Master Shaoguoyi, orphan and widow, of course she will develop a cautious temperament.

Shen Qi sat opposite Shi Zi, and didn't speak for a long time, he thought for a moment, then suddenly said something for no reason...

"This year, maybe there will be a real war..."
