Chapter 401 The imperial envoy among the imperial envoys
Shen Yi was stunned.

The so-called permanent and palliative solutions are the opinions he raised with the emperor a few months ago. Only by forming an army can it be possible to wipe out the Japanese pirates.

And Shen Yi...

It is impossible for an eighth-rank civil official to command the army, and he doesn't even have the judicial power to deal with people who are connected with the Japanese.

He swallowed, raised his head to look at the emperor, then lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid we can't handle this matter only with the report of the mansion..."

"And you didn't let the newspaper office of your mansion do it alone."

The emperor said indifferently: "In the past few days, you should spend time with your wife at home first, and make arrangements for the affairs of the mansion, and the imperial court will naturally make arrangements in two days."

"Okay, I still have something to do here, you go down first."

Shen Yi hurriedly got up to salute, and exited the Ganlu Hall.

After Shen Yi left, the emperor stopped the writing brush in his hand, glanced at Gao Ming at the side, and said: "I have called Brother Wang into the palace, and I have to explain something to him."

Eunuch Gao quickly bowed his head: "Your servant obeys."

…………

After being summoned by the emperor, Shen Yi was somewhat uncertain what the emperor was thinking.

Fortunately, in his impression, His Majesty the Emperor is not some irredeemable idiot. He should not think that only one Dibao Secretary can deal with the pirates along the coast, let alone let the Di Baosi go to the coast to form an army. .

So the emperor should have other arrangements.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi was relieved a lot. He first returned to the Dibao Division, called the team leaders of the first group and the eighth group who were still in Jiankang, and told them about the follow-up development ideas of the Dibao Division's intelligence team. Then, together with eunuch Sun Jin and Sun, they finalized the manuscript for the next issue of the residence newspaper.

After finishing the work of the mansion's newspaper department, it was already evening. Master Shen stretched his waist and went home to accompany his wife.

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.

Shen Zhang and Shen Heng, father and son, arrived in Jiankang City. Because Lu Ruoxi was pregnant, Shen Yi didn't let her go to welcome them, but welcomed the two of them back home at the gate of the city.

Shen Heng came to Jiankang to prepare for the hospital examination this year.

And Shen Zhang came here, on the one hand, because the youngest son took the exam, and more importantly, because the eldest daughter-in-law was pregnant, and the old man wanted to come and have a look.

At this point, the Shen family finally reunited in Jiankang.

The mansion bestowed by the emperor is very large, with a dozen or so rooms, it can accommodate the whole family of the Shen family. After Shen Hengcheng gets married in the future, he will have no problem living here.

It is worth mentioning that this time when Shen Heng came to Jiankang, he brought Chen Qing's younger sister, Chen Youniang, too, and depending on the situation, she and Shen Heng got along pretty well.

In the evening, Shen Yi ordered a large table of food and wine from a nearby restaurant, and delivered them to his home. There were seven or eight people in the family, not including the maids, and they had a good reunion dinner together.

Before Shen Yi finished his meal, someone knocked on the door again and sent a post, inviting Shen Yi to eat in Shibazilou.

Seeing the signature of the post, Shen Yi bowed his head and thought for a while, and then said to the person who sent the post: "Repay your trouble, just say I will go there in a while."

The man nodded and turned away.

Shen Yi put the post back into his arms, then returned to his dinner table and continued eating.

Shen Zhang, who was in charge, asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Shen Yi shook his head and smiled: "It's not a big deal if someone finds his son for dinner. Let's eat ours. I'll just go over later."

Shen Zhang frowned: "Didn't you already eat it now, why are you still eating?"

"Mostly it's about things."

Shen Yi let out a foul breath, and said, "I just drank a few sips of wine when I went, and didn't eat much food."

Shen Zhang looked at his son, wanting to say something, but thought that his son is now an official of the court, he hesitated for a while, and then did not speak.

The Shen family's family banquet was quickly overwhelmed, Shen Yi greeted Shen Zhang and Lu Ruoxi, then got up and left the banquet, and went out to the banquet.

The post was sent by Li Mu, the prince of Jin.

Li Mu or Prince Jin's Mansion has a lot of small favors for Shen Yi. Naturally, he has to give face when he sends a post. However, Shen Yi did not make it clear to Shen Zhang. If Shen Zhang knew that the letter was sent by the prince of Jin He wouldn't even let him eat at home.

The Shibazilou is on the bank of the Qinhuai River, whether it is close or far from the Shen family. Because it was getting late, Shen Yi got into the carriage and soon arrived at the Shibazilou.

The Shibazi Building is not open to the public, but the doorman recognizes Shen Yi. After seeing Shen Yi, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face: "Master Shen is here, the son of the world has been waiting for you for a long time."

Shen Yi nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "I didn't delay after receiving the post, and came right away."

After all, he followed this door to the second floor of the Shibazi Building. There are a dozen or twenty private rooms on the second floor. At the moment, most of them are empty, and there are only a few private rooms where people talk.

Shen Yi was led to the door of a private room by the door, and then he stepped forward and knocked on the door: "My lord, Shen Yi is here."

The door of the room was quickly opened, and His Royal Highness in purple clothes opened the door himself. He looked Shen Yi up and down, and said with a smile: "I hope Ziheng will come."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand and pulled Shen Yi's sleeve, walked into the private room, then turned his head to look at the door, and said, "Serve the best food and drink."

Menzi responded respectfully, turned his head and went down to pass the dishes.

The two sat opposite each other in the private room, Li Mu was full of emotion.

"Ziheng, you have given me a big problem."

Li Mu was full of emotion.

Shen Yi didn't quite understand, and said, "I'm a little confused by what Shi Zi said."

Li Mu stretched out his hand to pour Shen Yi a glass of wine, and said with a smile, "It was Ziheng you mentioned to Your Majesty about the solution to the symptoms and root causes. His Majesty called me into the palace that day and talked to me for a long time, but I didn't listen too much. clear."

"It's been a long time, and His Majesty is tired of talking, so let me ask you."

"After I got home, I discussed it with my father, and I still want to ask you, Ziheng."

Hearing this, Shen Yi suddenly realized.

There is definitely no way for a Di Baodi to solve the Japanese pirates, or to say that the "project" of Pingwa cannot be accommodated by a Di Baodi.

Now, there are people who can cooperate with Di Baosi.

Shen Yi thought for a while, and then asked, "Your Majesty, is your majesty asking you to go to the coast?"

"On behalf of the emperor, inspect the coastal states."

Speaking of this, Li Mu paused, and said: "The main thing is to inspect the anti-Japanese affairs, and we can make decisions on the fly."

A line of inspection on behalf of the sky is already an imperial envoy.

Adding a sentence of impromptu decision, that is the imperial envoy among the imperial envoys.

If you are a civil servant, if you want to get this level of authority, you probably need at least the level of Minister of War.

But Li Mu doesn't need it, he is the clan and the emperor's cousin.

After all, it is the emperor's family, without the restrictions of foreign ministers.

Shen Yi looked up at Li Mu, then cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Congratulations, son."

"That's nothing to congratulate."

The crown prince smiled wryly: "Your Majesty asked me to get rid of the pirates along the coast within two or three years. As for the pirates at sea, I can deal with them slowly, but I still haven't figured out how to solve them."

"His Majesty said..."

Speaking of this, Li Mu looked at Shen Yi with a strange look.

"Ask you if you don't understand..."
