Chapter 451 Imperial Power
The fact that the emperor was able to call Shen Yi back from a long distance, and say that Shen Yi persuaded him, shows that this matter has actually passed with the emperor.

So it is not difficult to convince the emperor.

Mainly convincing the fuck.

But Shen Yi, not only has never met the empress dowager in the palace, but also has nothing to do with it.

He didn't have any confidence in persuading her to let the empress dowager agree to the imperial court building guns and ships in the local area.

After all, although Shen Yi had never met Queen Mother Sun, judging from the fact that Queen Mother Sun had forcefully brought Princess Izumo Zhao Ying into the palace as a noble concubine, the Queen Mother was probably a conservative.

This is not surprising.

Even if Shen Yi was placed in the position of Empress Dowager Sun, if there was no memory bonus for two lifetimes, he, Shen Yi, would most likely become a conservative, and the inheritance of the throne is the most important thing.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi took a deep breath, looked up at the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty... the matter of building ships and cannons, I just mentioned it a little bit. Since the imperial court has established a rule, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry are in charge Cannon, then the local shipbuilding..."

Having said that, Shen Yi raised his head to look at Shen Yi, and asked cautiously: "Or...forget it?"

The little emperor was stunned.

He knows that Shen Yi is an eloquent person, and he is ready to be persuaded by Shen Yi, and then he will take Shen Yi to Kunde Palace to persuade his mother, so that the idea Shen Yi wrote in the previous letter will be gradually completed …

But now, Shen Yi is about to give up?
The little emperor was silent for a while, he looked up at Shen Yi, frowned and said, "Does Shen Qing think that the idea of ​​letting the local government build cannons is not advisable, or does this idea not work?"

Not advisable means that there is a problem with the plan.

Unworkable means that the plan will not work.

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that this matter cannot be done."

The emperor frowned again: "Since you think you can't do it, why do you still have to write a letter to the court and to me?"

"It is your majesty's intention to form an army along the coast. With your majesty's approval, I have to do my best to make some achievements. But if there are some things that even your majesty hesitates here, let's not talk about it." Can it be implemented, even if it is implemented, the imperial court may be forced to change the order overnight under various pressures."

"Instead of wasting manpower and material resources for nothing, it's better to pretend that no one has ever mentioned this matter."

Shen Yi bowed and said: "Your Majesty, my anti-Japanese army has defeated the Japanese pirates several times along the coast. Even if there are no strong ships and sharp guns, I believe that in time, the Japanese pirates will not dare to land on our Dachen border again. According to this, the Japanese invaders in the southeast It could be considered over.”

"Your Majesty's idea of ​​cleaning up the Japanese pirates can be regarded as a great success."

When Shen Yi said what he said with a gun and a stick, the little emperor's face was obviously not very good-looking. He looked up at Shen Yi and said angrily: "What I want is not only to quell the Japanese plague, but also an elite navy team." !"

He looked at Shen Yi with burning eyes: "Shen Qing, your words have already moved me, and later, I will take you to the Kunde Palace to greet the queen mother..."

When mentioning the queen mother, a trace of fear flashed across the little emperor's face.

Shen Yi saw the little emperor's expression in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Your Majesty, the surname is Li, and you are the emperor of our Chen country."

"Your Majesty thinks that filial piety is a matter of course, but when it comes to national affairs, your Majesty need not be afraid to speak."

"If His Majesty wants to fight for this kind of matter, I can naturally accompany you, but if you want to fight, you can only fight for Your Majesty himself."

Shen Yi said in a deep voice: "If your majesty doesn't fight, how can we and my servants fight with the empress dowager?"

The little emperor was silent.

In the Palace of Ganlu, His Majesty the Emperor sat back to his seat silently. He lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then looked at Shen Yi again, and laughed at himself: "Those who have read the book are just different, and it's not easy to lie to them." .”

After saying this, the emperor said silently: "I'm very curious about what happened to Shen Qing in the past few months, so let's do it, anyway, you are back, right here in the Ganlu Palace, what do you say when I ask you?" what."

Shen Yi nodded in agreement.

Just like that, His Majesty the Emperor sat in his chair and asked Shen Yi a lot about the process of forming the Anti-Japanese Army in detail.

These were all experienced by Shen Yi himself, so naturally there would be no questions when answering them, he answered them one by one with a calm expression.

After finishing asking the questions that should be asked, the emperor fell silent again.

In Ganlu Hall, the atmosphere fell into a slight embarrassment.

After His Majesty digested Shen Yi's words, he looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Give you a few firearms workshops, and build you a few docks, so you can guarantee that you can do better than the Ministry of Industry and War?"

"minister…"

Shen Yi said truthfully: "There is no guarantee."

"A lot of warships are exquisite enough, and I am very mature towards the artillery. To be honest, after these things arrive at the place, they may not be better than Liubu, but..."

Shen Yi said in a deep voice: "But your majesty, the gentlemen of the six departments sit in the yamen every day, go in and out in sedan chairs, and visit nobles. Even the craftsmen of the military department of the capital's Ministry of Industry and Military Affairs have not seen the tragedy of the Japanese pirates landing on the coast. They don't know What is the style of Japanese pirates?"

"I feel that these workshops can at least be remodeled according to local conditions after they arrive in the local area. In this case, the overall combat power will definitely be improved."

Shen Yi said in a deep voice: "Currently, I have an idea, that is to make the artillery as small as possible, with a longer range as possible, and then install it on warships."

What must be said here is that there are artillery on the warships of this era.

But it must be that kind of big ship, and the performance of the artillery is just like that. Most of the time, just after listening to the sound, the real decisive battle is the close combat.

"With strong ships and sharp guns, the anti-Japanese military can go to sea to suppress bandits, so that they can once and for all solve the scourge of Japanese pirates."

"When will the Anti-Japanese Army have the ability to wipe out the Japanese pirates..."

Shen Yi bowed his head and said, "At that time, His Majesty will have a navy capable of standing on the stage."

What I have to say is that Shen Yi is very good at grasping the emperor's mind.

His Majesty the Emperor's eyes lit up when he heard the phrase "a navy who can stand on the stage".

He needs this so badly.

Because he has been unhappy with the Zhao family for a long time, and he really needs a navy that can replace him, at least in a short period of time.

The emperor was silent for a while, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and then put it down again. He looked at Shen Yi, changed the subject suddenly, and asked, "Shen Qing, what is your mother's personality like?"

Shen Yi was taken aback for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "Return to Your Majesty, my mother died early..."

"But she has a very good personality."

"Well…"

The emperor rubbed his temples, and said slowly: "You mentioned this last time, but I forgot."

His somewhat scattered gaze gradually became firm.

"You came back to Jiankang from Wenzhou Mansion with great difficulty. You might as well rest at home for a few days to take care of your body. After you go back, you have nothing to do, so write down your thoughts in detail in the memorial. For two days..."

The emperor paused, and continued: "Well... Three days, after three days, you will enter the palace again, and I will take you to Kunde Palace to meet your mother."

Shen Yi took a deep breath, and looked up at His Majesty the Emperor with a resolute expression.

He understood in his heart.

The emperor was ready to face his mother directly and take back part of his imperial power.

At least it is about the anti-Japanese army this time.

He wants to be a real emperor once.
