Chapter 385 Errands are not in a hurry, Shen Yi is in a hurry

It is now the end of the seventh year of Hongde, and it will be the eighth year of Hongde soon.

The little emperor Hong De started to take charge at the beginning of the sixth year, and it has been two full years since he became a full-time official.

In the past two years, the first year was relatively calm, but this year, it can be said that from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, the Huaihe Navy led [-] forbidden troops and entangled with the Qi people for more than half a year. Small loss.

But after suffering a loss, the little emperor not only couldn't get angry, but also rewarded General Zhao and spoke words to appease him.

Not only can't get angry with Bei Qi, but even marry the princess of Bei Qi as a noble concubine.

This is unbearable for any aspiring monarch, so His Majesty the Emperor urgently needs to change this situation.

And Shen Yi once told the emperor about it.

If the imperial court wants to change the structure and win the battle with the Qi people, the first thing to do is to overthrow the Zhao family and build a new Huaihe Navy, or a new army.

But now, the little emperor started to act.

This is his tentative move.

The Huaihe Navy is a very important part of Dachen's national defense, so it is impossible to destroy the Huaihe Navy directly, otherwise the imperial court can only use the forbidden army to fight against the Qi people.

Therefore, we must first create a new army.

First of all, this army must be justifiable, and secondly, it must not be too conspicuous.

The suppression of Japanese is a very good reason.

First of all, the coast of Chen State is indeed harassed by Japanese pirates all the year round, causing the people in some places to move to a place more than ten miles or even dozens of miles away from the coast, and even fishermen dare not live along the coast anymore to escape Japanese pirates.

Even so, those insane Japanese pirates would still slaughter innocent people, and would also rob merchant ships and block trade routes.

This is undoubtedly a very good reason.

If an army can wipe out the Japanese pirates within a few years, then this army will have room to grow in the future and have the potential to replace the Huaihe Navy.

Even... it doesn't need to grow to the size of the Huaihe Navy.

It only has the ability to become the "replacement" of the Huaihe Navy, so the emperor can find the time and space to clean up the Zhao Clan.

And this idea was probably given to the emperor by some expert in Jiankang, that's why the emperor was so anxious to start the layout, and let Shen Yi start public opinion in the next issue of the mansion newspaper.

That night, Shen Si was holding a candle and waiting for dawn.

He read these documents carefully, then composed words and sentences, and began to ponder the draft.

Although Jiangdu Mansion is not near the sea, it is not very far from the sea. During these years in Jiangdu Mansion, he often heard of Japanese pirates making trouble, and he often saw people from the seaside fleeing to Jiangdu to seek a living.

Therefore, no matter in this life or in the previous life, he didn't have the slightest affection for Japanese pirates.

When he made up his mind in front of Master Lu before, he also talked about the Japanese pirates, and he made up his mind that one day he would abolish the evil and promote the clean.

Now, the opportunity to clean up the Japanese pirates has come.

Maybe the little emperor's starting point for cleaning up the pirates was a bit impure and impure, but Shen Yi's idea of ​​cleaning up the pirates was very pure.

He simply hoped that those Japanese pirates would die.

Using a pen as a knife is only the first step.
Shen Yi wrote for a whole night, but the manuscripts were all waste, and he was still not very satisfied. Until the next day when the sky was about to light, Shen Yi did not write a manuscript that he was satisfied with.

Fortunately, this thing is not in a hurry, and I can write slowly for a few days. Shen Yi rubbed his aching head and returned to the bedroom to rest.

At this moment, Lu Ruoxi has already woken up.

Seeing Shen Yi push the door and walk in, she sat up from the bed, looked at her haggard husband, and said softly, "Why are you so anxious about something that you stayed up all night without sleeping?"

"It's not urgent."

Shen Yi stretched, took off his coat, and lay down under the blanket, his voice full of exhaustion.

"It's me who is a little anxious."

…………

After this sleep, Shen Yi slept until the afternoon, and he got up from the bed around late afternoon. After washing up, he went back to his study. on the side.

Just when Shen Yi was about to continue writing the manuscript, Qing'er came in with a cup of tea, put it in Shen Yi's hand, and said softly: "My lord, in the morning, the county master sent someone to send a message, please go there, but at that time You were sleeping, so I didn't wake you up."

"The county government said, after you wake up, please go to the county government."

Shen Yi had finished sharpening the brush by now, and the brush was dipped in ink. Hearing this, he put the brush in the brush wash, and stood up after drinking a sip of tea.

"Clean up the table for me, I'll go to the county government."

Qing'er nodded in agreement.

After Shen Yi took two steps, he walked back and put away the documents on the table, locked them in his own cabinet, and then stepped out.

The Shen family is not very far from the county government office, even on foot, it didn't take long for Shen Yi to arrive at the gate of the county government office.

Since he returned to Jiangdu, he has come to see Zhang Jian for a drink six or seven times, not ten times, so all the officials at the gate of the county government office recognized him, and when they saw him, they called Master Shen and welcomed him in. , directly brought to the back office of the county government.

In the back yamen, the county magistrate Zhang Jian was lying on a recliner, and the concubine beside him was pinching his shoulders. The county magistrate closed his eyes and rested his mind, feeling very comfortable.

Shen Yi stepped forward and said with a smile: "Senior brother is so happy."

Zhang Jian opened his eyes, looked at Shen Yi, then sat up, and stretched his waist: "Don't mention it, I was almost busy to death in the past half a month, and now the court finally sent two people to deal with it." I only have a day or two free from these messy cases."

Shen Yi found a chair by himself, sat down, and said with a smile: "The matter should have been settled. Senior brother has made a lot of contributions this time, and he has gained a reputation in Jiangdu. When you return to Jiankang next year, the court will arrange for you a punishment department." Yuanwailang should be the best."

This sentence is obviously a joke, Zhang Jian Qipin county magistrate, it is impossible to be promoted to Yuanwailang, let alone his grandfather is the prime minister, even if his father is the prime minister.

Even if you have to be promoted like this, you have to find a middle position and go through the motions, otherwise it won't make sense.

"Pull it down."

The magistrate of the county waved his hand and signaled the concubine to step down. The concubine stood up, bowed to Shen Yi, called Uncle Shen, and walked away twisting her waist.

After the concubine left, Zhang Jian stretched her waist, and said lazily: "Next year, I'm lucky, and I can be the head of the Ministry of Rites. If there is no vacancy in the Ministry of Rites, I can only go to the Ministry of Industry or the Imperial College, and try my luck at Taichang Temple." .”

After chatting about the way out for next year, Zhang Jian looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "By the way, Fan Dongcheng, Luo Maocai, and Ma Jun all came to the case yesterday. I thought you, Ziheng, would come yesterday." "They never thought that they have not come today."

"It's useless to read it, it's just a few words of sarcasm, besides..."

Shen Yi lowered his brows and said: "The little brother is also the person involved, if you go to meet a few other people in private, it will hurt your brother's reputation."

Zhang Jian was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile: "That's right, anyway, the trial will be retried tomorrow, so it's not too late to see you tomorrow."

After saying this, he looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "Tonight, our brothers will treat the two censors to dinner?"

"otherwise…"

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said: "Tomorrow, let Zheng Fuzun be the host, and elder brother and I will be two people to accompany, so as to avoid suspicion to some extent, and will not make it difficult for you, elder brother, nor will it make it difficult for the two imperial envoys."

Zhang Jian smiled dumbly, stroked his palms and said, "It's a certainty, why is Zi Heng still so cautious?"

After the two chatted a few words, Zhang Jian remembered the business: "That's right, Ziheng."

Zhang Jian groped in her arms for a while, found out a small box, and handed it to Shen Yi.

"This was sent to Jiangdu by someone sent by my grandfather, saying it was a wedding gift for you, Ziheng."
