marquis of jingan

Chapter 400 Royal Pancake
Shen Yi's article is said to please the emperor, so there must be elements of pleasing the emperor, but it is definitely not flattery.

Because he himself hates the Zhao Clan very much, and now that there is no way to clean up the Zhao Clan, it would be good to be disgusted even if he could.

After this article was submitted, the effect was outstanding. That night, the palace sent someone to send a pair of jade biscuits, which were tributes sent to the palace by others. Not to mention priceless, at least there is no problem Yes, it is considered as a wedding gift from the emperor to Shen Yi and his wife, and the couple can each wear one piece on their bodies.

In the next two days, under the urging of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Mansion Newspaper was able to print quickly, and finally, two days later, the first batch of mansion newspapers were printed and distributed to Jiankang.

This article has a great influence, not just to make people in the Imperial Army feel unhappy about the Huaihe Navy.

More importantly, most of the people who are literate and able to read the newspaper are scholars. Ordinary people may not be able to see the yin and yang in Shen Yi's article, but it is not difficult for these scholars to see some irony in the article.

After all, when the Forbidden Army went north, it also obeyed the command of General Zhao.

This is undoubtedly saying that General Zhao cherishes his feathers and only let the imperial army die, instead of letting the Huaihe Navy fight tough battles.

There is a very interesting phenomenon in the process of passing messages.

That is, if you tell him the result directly, he may question the result, but if you let him "guess" it himself, he will think he is smart, and then he will be convinced of the result he guessed.

Therefore, after this article was published, the reputation of the Huaihe Navy, or the Zhao family, among scholars has been ruined a lot.

More importantly, the Zhao family has no way to retaliate against the Di Baosi.

Because this article, from beginning to end, is about how fierce and elite the Huaihe River Navy is in combat.

Not a single word was spoken against them.

Even the tyrannical Zhao family had to suffer this secret loss, but the Zhao family was secretly checking who the author of this unsigned article was, and most likely wanted to thank this person in private.

Fortunately, this article did not arouse much public opinion, and it slowly passed.

Shen Yi is also the same as before, going to work in the newspaper office step by step every day, three months passed in a blink of an eye, and the time came to April, the eighth year of Hongde.

In Jiankang in April, the warmth has already brought some dry and hot taste.

And in April, a big event happened in the Jiankang court.

That's... Empress Sun is pregnant.

This is a big deal for the court. After all, Empress Sun is the first wife of the emperor. If she gives birth to a son, she will be both the eldest son and the eldest son. As long as she is not a fool, she will most likely inherit the eldest son. Chen's future throne.

For a moment, the eyes of the entire imperial court were focused on Empress Sun's belly. Even the Empress Dowager was quite concerned about her niece, and invited her into the Kunde Palace every three days, wishing she could serve this girl herself. daughter-in-law.

Just when everyone's eyes were focused on the queen's belly, Shen Yi was a little different.

Because on the seventh day of April, a doctor also came to Shen's house to ask for a happy pulse. After several months of unremitting work by Mr. Shen, the young Mrs. Shen was finally pregnant. According to the doctor, it has been a month or two. body.

Shen Yi was very happy, and took the Shen family to Yaoyuelou to have a big meal and celebrate.

The next day, because Shen Yi had taken a day off with his wife, he received another letter from his hometown in Jiangdu, saying that Shen Heng had passed the government examination and planned to visit Jiankang in a few days.

It is worth mentioning that Shen Heng participated in the Jiangdu County Examination in February this year, and was ordered by the county lord Zhang Jian. When he arrived at the prefectural examination, the magistrate usually would not take the magistrate's face. It passed the government test.

In other words, Shen Heng has actually obtained the qualification to participate in this year's Jiankang Academy Examination, so it is only natural to come to Jiankang to have a look.

The two brothers depended on each other since they were young. Shen Heng was able to come to Jiankang, so Shen Yi was naturally very happy. He took the letter from home and showed it to Lu Ruoxi. When the young couple were talking, Xiaoqing heard something out of place. voice: "My lord, someone from the palace is looking for you."

Shen Yi stretched out his hand and patted Lu Ruoxi's hand, and said softly: "Madam, rest first, and go out to have a look for husband."

Lu Ruoxi blushed, and said softly: "I just got pregnant, and it will take a long time to show my bosom, where do I need any rest?"

"The concubine will go out with you to have a look."

Shen Yi smiled and nodded, and the young couple walked out of the bedroom together, and then in their own courtyard, they met Sun Jin, the eunuch of the Di Baosi.

Eunuch Sun stepped forward, saluted Shen Yi and his wife, and said respectfully, "Si Zheng, Your Majesty has called you into the palace."

Shen Yi scratched his head, and his tone was a little helpless: "Why did you just ask for a day off, and His Majesty has something to look for me?"

Sun Jin lowered his head and said, "Sizheng, the slaves don't know, but Eunuch Gao is in a hurry, you'd better enter the palace quickly."

Shen Yi nodded helplessly, turned around and explained a few words to his wife, then got into the sedan chair arranged by Sun Jin, entered Miyagi without hindrance, and was then taken to the Palace of Ganlu.

In the Palace of Ganlu, after seeing Shen Yi, the little emperor acted a little more cordially than before. He motioned for Shen Yi to sit down, then coughed, and said, "The queen is pregnant, and all the officials have signed the congratulatory form. Why don't you see Shen Yi?" Your congratulatory form?"

Shen Yi bowed his head and smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, the rank of the minister is low, and he is not qualified to present to His Majesty..."

The emperor frowned, a little displeased: "Isn't there still so little you wrote to me in private? Can't you write a copy in private and hand it over?"

Shen Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead, bowed his head and said: "Yes, after I go back today, I will immediately draw up a congratulatory form for His Majesty."

Seeing Shen Yi like this, His Majesty the Emperor, who was trying to put on a sullen face, finally couldn't bear it anymore. He laughed heartily at Shen Yi.

"I was joking with you."

He looked at Shen Yi with a smile, and said, "I heard that your family is going to have a baby, and you and I are really destined to be fathers. We were born in the same year, and we will almost become fathers in the same year."

Hearing the emperor's words, Shen Yi looked respectful, but murmured in his heart.

He only found out yesterday that his wife was pregnant.

But within a day, the emperor will know, that is, the Shen family...

Seeing Shen Yi's eyeballs turning straight, the emperor glanced at him, and said angrily: "Don't worry, I don't have the time to send someone to watch you, it was Sun Jin who told me."

Only then did Shen Yi suddenly realize.

He is the Secretary of the Mansion Reporting Department, so he can only tell Sun Jin, the spokesperson of the palace, that his reason for asking for leave is that his daughter-in-law is pregnant and he will go home to accompany her.

The emperor and his ministers chatted a few words, and then the emperor looked at Shen Yi and became serious: "Shen Qing just said that your rank is low, didn't you?"

Shen Yi quickly bowed his head: "Returning to Your Majesty, I am deeply grateful for Chen Xinzhong Jinshi to have an eighth-rank rank."

The emperor smiled: "Shen Qing, you said a few months ago that you can cure the symptoms and the root cause, and I will give you a few months. How is your residence and newspaper office doing in the coastal prefecture?"

Shen Yi lowered his head.He said, "Go back to Your Majesty, it's almost done."

"Well."

The emperor narrowed his eyes, and said: "Then you go on a business trip, first to treat the root cause, and then to treat the symptoms."

"It's done..."

The emperor said calmly: "It's done, you will be in charge of the Ministry of War next year."
