marquis of jingan

Chapter 402

This sentence made Shen Yi silent for a long time.

After a while, he took a hard breath, and said in a low voice: "To tell you the truth, this time, I reported to His Majesty the method of suppressing Japanese. Go to the coastal state capital to collect information about Japanese pirates in the coastal state capital."

Li Mu's eyes lit up, and he clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Before, I still couldn't figure out how I, a clan with no roots and no connections, could patrol local state capitals for the emperor. When I heard Ziheng's words, my heart It suddenly dawned on me that His Majesty's layout has been going on for more than a day."

He smiled and said: "The reason for calling me to go is probably to borrow my name as the prince of Jin. When doing business, others dare not talk too much."

After saying this, he looked at Shen Yi, smiled and said: "Since Di Baodi already has local information, it will be much easier to handle, Ziheng, you lead the way, whoever you want to deal with, what do you mean?" One way, I will do it for you, brother."

Shen Yi gave a wry smile, and said, "Your Majesty, things are not that simple. Although Di Baodi has successfully opened branches in several coastal state capitals, some people in these places are very cautious in doing things, even if they already know that some People may understand the Japanese, but they have never been able to find convincing evidence."

"It's not easy to handle. Even if the prince goes to the local area, he can't do anything to them."

"Why not?"

Li Mu snorted, and said angrily: "As a citizen of my great Chen, as long as you have access to the Japanese, it is a heinous crime. You don't need any evidence, as long as you know that they are from the Japanese, I will immediately take people to raid the house and seize them! "

Shen Yi shook his head slightly.

"My son, many powerful and wealthy merchants in the local area are related to some important officials in the imperial court. They pay tribute every year and are filial every year. Some of them are family members of important officials in the imperial court. When you go to the local area, you may be able to rely on the name of the clan. Copied one, copied two, but if there is no real evidence to prove that they are familiar with the Japanese, we don’t need to go to the third one, we will all return to Beijing in despair.”

Shen Yi glanced at Li Mu, and said in a low voice: "When the time comes, I'm afraid the Jin Palace will be affected."

Li Mu frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows, and smiled heartily: "Since this is the case, then I won't worry about these things. Anyway, His Majesty has already said that if you are in doubt, you can ask Shen Ziheng. When the time comes, the two of us will go to the place. It’s up to you to do it.”

After speaking, Li Mu picked up a glass of wine and respected Shen Yi: "Come on, Ziheng, let's have a drink!"

Shen Yi picked up the wine glass and touched the prince of Jin, then he looked up at Li Mu, feeling a little emotional.

He knew very well in his heart that Li Mu was not a rough guy, but a person with a delicate mind.

And the reason why Li Mu was ready to hand everything over to Shen Yi as he was now, and he was a nominal imperial envoy, was not because of how good his relationship with Shen Yi was, or how he believed in Shen Yi.

He did it because...

This is the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor.

The emperor's intention was to let him go to the coast to make a name, and then let Shen Yi and Shen Yi's residence newspaper department go to the coast to do something.

If he, Li Mu, insisted on becoming a serious imperial envoy, he would make more mistakes, and the more things he did, the more unhappy he would make His Majesty the Emperor.

Therefore, he can only do everything according to the emperor's will, and leave most of the things to Shen Yi. As for whether Shen Yi can do well or not well...

In fact, it was Shen Yi's business and had nothing to do with Li Mu.

If Shen Yi screwed things up, the emperor would have no reason to call him his cousin.

In this way, the two brothers exchanged cups in Shibazilou.

Shen Yi came here because he had eaten, so he didn't eat much at the moment, and kept drinking with Li Mu.

After drinking for three rounds, Shen Yi looked up at Li Mu.Asked: "When is the prince going to leave Beijing?"

Li Mu raised his glass and drank it down, then smiled dumbly and said, "Zi Heng shouldn't ask me this question, but you should ask yourself."

"I'm alone, and I can leave Jiankang at any time."

He looked at Shen Yi, smiled and said, "The key is whether you, Shen Ziheng, are ready."

Shen Yi lowered his head and took a sip of the wine, then exhaled a strong breath of alcohol.

"Then let's do it in three days. After three days, I will patrol the coast with the imperial envoy."

Shizi smiled slightly: "Where are you going?"

Shen Yi said silently: "Go to Taizhou Mansion."

"it is good."

The prince clapped his palms and smiled: "In three days, I will wait for you at the east gate."

…………

For the next two days, Shen Yi stayed at home and did not go to work at the newspaper office.

Mainly to accompany the pregnant daughter-in-law.

In the morning of the next day, Shen Yi took his brother Shen Heng out together. Shen Yi bought good wine and food on the street, and let Shen Heng carry them in his hand.

Shen Heng followed behind his elder brother with the food and drink, curious: "Brother, where are you taking me?"

"Go see a tall man."

Shen Yi brought his brothers all the way to the Gu family private school in Dayifang. At this moment, Mr. Gu was still teaching in the private school. Shen Yi did not make any noise after entering, but brought Shen Heng together, stood outside the school window, and listened silently for half an hour. .

After listening for half an hour, Shen Yi turned to look at Shen Heng, and asked, "What do you gain?"

Shen Heng frowned slightly, he looked at his elder brother, then at old man Gu who was talking nonstop in the school, and said in a low voice: "Brother, this gentleman's class seems to be a little... um..."

"Ingenuity."

"This is my husband in Jiankang."

Shen Yi's face was calm, and he said: "After I arrived in Jiankang, I was able to raise people and win Jinshi. This gentleman has done a lot. I will take you to see his old man in a while. Don't be rude."

Hearing Shen Yi's words, Shen Heng suddenly became serious.

Although he is a child prodigy in reading, but because he is a scholar, he understands the difficulty of being a Jinshi better than anyone else. A gentleman who can help others to be a Jinshi can be said to be the ultimate treasure in Shilin.

While the two brothers were talking, Mr. Gu's class on the other side was finally over. The old man walked out with his hands behind his back. He saw the two brothers Shen Yi at a glance. He walked over unsteadily, then glanced at Shen Yi, and said : "Why, are you following Zhao Zhi's example and starting to cause trouble for my old man?"

Shen Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "This is my brother, I specially brought him here to visit Master Gu, and asked Master Gu to give advice and teach him."

Compared with Shen Yi, Shen Heng's appearance is a little more ordinary, but there is a spirituality in his brows and eyes. Although he looks ordinary, he looks very attractive.

Old man Gu looked Shen Heng up and down, and asked, "How old are you?"

With Shen Yi's guidance, Shen Heng immediately saluted respectfully: "Mr. Hui, I am fifteen years old."

"Tsk..."

The old man looked at Shen Yi, then at Shen Heng, and asked, "Brother?"

Master Shen smiled and said: "One mother and one compatriot, it's true."

"This kid is going to take the exam too?"

Shen Yi nodded again and said: "Well, this year I came to Jiankang for the college entrance examination. If I pass the examination, I will prepare for the rural examination next autumn."

"Your house... Fengshui is good..."

The old man muttered, then looked at Shen Heng, and said, "Boy, go and show the old man an article you wrote recently."

Shen Yi turned his head and glanced at Shen Heng. Shen Heng quickly took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands: "Sir, brother has already asked me to prepare it."

Old man Gu took it casually, glanced at it casually at first, and soon showed a strange expression on his face. He looked up at Shen Yi, and asked, "You wrote it for me?"

"wrong…"

"No, no, no."

Old man Gu shook his head, denying this idea: "Although the current knowledge of this article is not as good as yours, it is much more spiritual than yours."

After saying this, Old Man Gu focused his gaze on Shen Heng, and he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

"Your Shen family's ancestral grave..."

"Could it be that there is green smoke?"
