Chapter 389 New Pressures
All the cases related to the Fan family were mercilessly settled one by one by the two imperial envoys.

And once these cases are all overturned, then the Fan family in Jiangdu Prefecture's crimes and unscrupulous things will actually be established.

Then after the two imperial envoys returned to Jiankang, they would truthfully report to the imperial court. At that time, the Fan family would ransack their homes, or at least hemorrhage and spit out a lot of money and property.

More importantly, Fan Chu, the new procurator who has already gone to Guangxi, will also be implicated in this incident. It is unlikely that he will be directly demoted to a commoner, but most of them will be charged with crimes such as "improper family tradition" or "protecting the clan" , was demoted to three ranks.

According to the fact that the inspector is the third rank, he was demoted to the third rank, that is, from the fourth rank, with Fan Chu's act of deviating from the sacred heart, he can only be an ordinary magistrate in Guangxi.

You must know that Guangxi in this era is a part of Lingnan, where it was "exiled".

If nothing else happened, it would be very difficult for him to leave Guangxi in his life. If he offended someone when he was serving as Minister of Jiankang, not only would he not be able to leave Guangxi, he might even die in Guangxi.

However, all of this is Shen Yi's conjecture. According to the current situation of the court, if the situation of the court changes, His Majesty the Emperor will start to shrink his neck like the first emperor to live. People from Yang Xiang's faction, similar to Chen Yu, will regain control of the government. , then it is not impossible for Fan Chu to return to the court.

The situation is always changing, and Shen Yi has no way of predicting this kind of change.

But now that Fan Dongcheng has been punished, he will be hanged after the review by the Ministry of Criminal Justice after autumn. The first "small goal" Shen Yi set more than two years ago will be achieved in sevens and eighties.

Being able to achieve this goal is not his personal ability.

There is Ganquan Academy behind him, and it is not just Ganquan Academy.

If there is only one Ganquan Academy, it may be possible to overwhelm Fan Shilang with force, but it is difficult to kick a minister of punishment out of Jiankang. The reason why Shen Yi can do it is because there is an emperor behind him.

However, achieving this "small goal" is not completely free.

First of all, Shen Yi has initially been bound together with His Majesty the current emperor who wants to rejuvenate.

But the existence of the emperor will change.

Therefore, Shen Yi can only be said to be bound to the emperor's "ZTE business". If the ZTE business can become bigger and stronger, Master Shen will naturally follow suit. lose ground.

At that time, unless Shen Yi starts from scratch, he can only go back to Jiangdu to teach and educate people obediently like Master Lu, and there is no other way out.

And the second price is...

Due to various reasons, Shen Yi offended that old Xiangguo Yang and the powerful Zhao Clan in the court.

This kind of offense was not because of a little Fan Dongcheng, but because of the little emperor's great cause of rejuvenation.

Yang Jingzong was fine, after all, the old man had retreated. Although the tea hadn't completely cooled down, at least it was in the process of cooling down, but the Zhao Clan...

With Shen Yi's current "coffee position", facing this behemoth... just like what Fan Dongcheng said, if he is not careful, he will end up in a more miserable end than him.

In other words, Shen Yi faced a new pressure after getting rid of the survival pressure brought by the Fan family.

With this pressure, Shen Yi had to try his best to climb up.

Originally, there were no shortcuts to the promotion of civil servants. It required a little bit of qualifications and political achievements, but now, an opportunity was placed in front of Shen Yi, and that was...

Japanese pirates.

Obviously, His Majesty the Emperor wants to use Japanese pirates to make a fuss.

He even wanted to use Japanese pirates to train a new army.

If Chen Chaoting is compared to a big company, then the emperor is the big boss of the company. Right now, the big boss is going to start a "new project" himself.

The project that the big boss personally follows up has a bright future.

With Chen's national strength, it is possible to defend against the Northern Qi Dynasty. As long as they are willing to devote their strength to deal with these Japanese pirates, even if they cannot be wiped out in a short period of time, they can definitely achieve some results.

That night, Shen Yi sat alone in the study, thinking about the emperor's thoughts, and began to write the residence newspaper word by word.

Because he slept for a long time during the day, Shen Yi didn't feel sleepy at night, so he just stayed up all night. Early the next morning, Shen Yi finally wrote the mansion report about the Japanese pirates.

When the first ray of sun shone into the courtyard of Shen's house, Shen Yi pushed open the door of the study room and stretched his waist.

At this time, Lu Ruoxi, who had already put on thick clothes, came over with a basin of hot water. She looked at Shen Yi, with some complaints in her tone.

"You've only been married for a long time, and you've been hiding in the study all day, and you don't even enter the bedroom."

"Isn't this a busy business?"

Shen Yi washed his face, smiled at his wife, and said, "After staying up all night yesterday, I finally finished my work. I will definitely spend time with my wife tonight."

Lu Ruoxi spat, then snorted softly: "I hate it, who wants you to accompany me?"

"Eat some breakfast, and then have a good sleep. It is said in medical books that staying up late is the most debilitating, and you have to make up for it."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said: "I won't sleep during the day today, lest it really turn day and night upside down, and I have to go out for my husband later."

Shen Yi's father, Shen Zhang, now lives in the Shen family's mansion, and Shen Heng lives in the academy again. At this moment, there are only husband and wife and a few maidservants in the Shen family's house, and even Chen Youniang "" Leave" to go home with my parents.

After the young couple had breakfast, Shen Yi went out to find an incense shop, bought some incense paper money for sacrificial offerings, then rode out of the city on horseback, came to Chenjia Village, and burned it in front of Chen Qing's grave.

There are still fresh ashes in front of Chen Qing's grave right now, obviously Chen Heizi and his wife just came to visit his grave a few days ago.

However, Shen Yi didn't bother Chen Qing's parents, but after burning the paper money, he said a few words to Chen Qing, then got on his horse and left silently.

After returning to the city, Shen Yi read at home for a long time, and in the evening, he went out again to Mingyue Tower for a banquet.

For this meal, all the officials, big and small, from Jiangdu were present. Apart from the officials from Jiangdu, there were also some local gentry from Jiangdu, as well as Shen Yi and Sun Li, two new scholars from Jiangdu.

For such a big battle, it is natural to invite the two imperial envoys who came to Jiangdu to handle the case.

Because the case had already been settled, the two imperial envoys were very generous and showed up early. These gentlemen from Jiangdu gathered in the Mingyue Tower, exchanged cups and chatted, and the atmosphere was very good.

Even Shen Yi, who has a good capacity for alcohol, drank a lot of meat and vegetables.

Sun Li, who is not good at drinking, drank to the bottom of the table, unable to pull himself up.

In the end, it was Zhang Jian who called the county yamen's clerk to use the public equipment for private use, and sent these gentlemen back to their residences one by one.

After that, Shen Yi's life became more ordinary. Apart from making villains at home, he spent his days reading and writing articles, or visiting Ganquan Academy, or drinking with the county lord.

Soon it entered the twelfth lunar month of the seventh year of Hongde, the sun and the moon rotated, and the time came to the end of the twelfth lunar month, and there were only a few days left before the end of the new year.

On this day, it was rare for Jiangdu to snow heavily for several days. The heavy snow covered the branches and dyed the entire Jiangdu city white.

The seven years of Hongde also came to an end with this heavy snowfall.
