marquis of jingan

Chapter 452 Unspoken
After coming out of the palace, it was completely dark.

When Shen Yi left the palace, he was walking in the imperial city, and he looked back at the palace city behind him.

It has to be mentioned that although the little emperor in the palace is sometimes a little willful, he is indeed a very "motivated" emperor.

His self-motivation is reflected in the fact that when he was 16 years old, he took back his right to be the emperor from the hands of the two old prime ministers in the court.

What's more, he will not be a wealthy emperor in a down-to-earth manner, and he is unwilling to live under the people of Qi for a long time, so he is trying to find a way to make himself and the court stronger.

And now, perhaps intentionally or unintentionally, His Majesty the Emperor is ready to tentatively speak loudly to his mother.

After leaving the imperial city, because he was very tired from riding all the way, after Shen Yi returned home, he washed up briefly, then lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. The next morning, he got out of bed very late.

On this day, Shen Ling and his wife did not go out, but played in the front yard with their son Shen Zhao who was already babbling. Open your mouth and call it Seventh Uncle.

It's a pity that the child is too young, and even the parents can't call her clearly, so naturally there is no way to call her Seventh Uncle.

After teasing the child for a while, Shen Yi handed the child back to his third sister-in-law, Mrs. Lin, and said with a smile: "This child looks clever, he must be a good seedling for studying. In a few years, I will be ignorant of studying. Let my little brother teach him a lesson." Teach him that he will be promising when he grows up."

These compliments are naturally what parents love to hear. After hearing these words, Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Lin, first smiled from ear to ear, then looked at Shen Yi with some reproach, and said softly: "Didn't Qilang say that he would Do you accept this child as a student? Why do you have to let Lao Jiu teach again now?"

Shen Yi smiled dumbly.

"To tell the truth, my sister-in-law, my younger brother is much more talented than me in reading."

"Letting him teach is definitely better than my teaching."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "However, if my sister-in-law insists on me teaching, then there is no problem. In a few years, I, as an uncle, will accept this student. We are all one family, and we don't talk about each other."

Mrs. Shen smiled, did not answer, but asked: "Lao Jiu will come to Jiankang next year, right?"

"Ah."

Shen Yi nodded silently, and said: "He is already a raw student, but there will only be a rural examination next year, and he will not be able to come to Jiankang until next year."

This year is Hongde's eighth year.

Shen Yi was a Jinshi in the seventh year of Hongde, but he was a Juren in the sixth year of Hongde. The provincial examination is held every three years, so the next provincial examination will be in the ninth year of Hongde.

Mrs. Shen sighed sincerely: "Fourth Uncle is really lucky. If Zhao'er has two or three points of your brothers' intelligence in the future, I, a mother, will be more than happy."

Shen Yi stepped forward and pinched the child's face, and said with a smile: "Maybe this child will be very promising in the future, and he will earn a first-rank and second-rank order for his sister-in-law to come back."

Mrs. Shen's face was flushed by these words, and she said with some embarrassment: "Qilang is here to make fun of you again."

After Shen Yi chatted a few gossips with the third sister-in-law, he went out from the front yard.

Because he made an appointment for dinner.

After leaving the Shen residence, Shen Yi walked all the way to the Qinhuai River, and finally went up to the second floor of the Yaoyue Building by the Qinhuai River. In the private room on the second floor of the Yaoyue Building, a young man had been waiting for a while. After seeing Shen Yi walk in, this The young man stood up, with a smile on his face, he stepped forward and put his arms around Shen Yi's shoulders, very affectionately: "Shen Sizheng, who showed great power in Taizhou Prefecture and Wenzhou Prefecture and wiped out countless Japanese pirates, was finally met by me personally. "

Shen Yi also smiled: "It's just hanging out with the imperial envoy, brother, don't make fun of it."

Zhang Jian and Zhang Yi'an are the only ones in Jiankang City who can be so close to Shen Yi and be called senior brother by Shen Yi.

At this time, the former Jiangdu county magistrate had served three years and was successfully transferred back to Jiankang, where he was seamlessly switched from a local official to a Beijing official.

After the two of them sat down, Shen Yi looked at Zhang Jian and said with a smile: "I've been quite busy in the coastal area these days. I only heard that my brother was transferred back to Jiankang, but I don't know which yamen Gao Sheng went to?"

Zhang Jian stretched out his hand, poured wine for Shen Yi, and said lazily, "Taichang Temple."

Shen Yi took the wine glass handed over by Zhang Jian, and asked with a smile: "Young Minister of Taichang Temple?"

Zhang Jian gave Shen Yi a blank look, clinked a glass with Shen Yi, and said angrily: "The old man is still in Zhongshu, and it is impossible for me to be in that position."

After drinking a glass of wine, he stretched his waist: "Si Cheng."

The prime minister of Taichang Temple is a sixth-rank official.

This grade does not seem high, but you must know that Zhang Jian was transferred from the local government to the imperial court. According to the generation gap between the local officials and the Beijing officials, as long as he was transferred to the imperial court, he would be promoted as long as he was not downgraded, not to mention that he was directly transferred to the imperial court. From the seventh-rank magistrate of the local official, he was promoted to the sixth-rank Beijing official!

This speed of promotion...

It can only be said that there is no grandfather of the prime minister, which is something that I dare not even think about.

The former Jiangdu county magistrate had a somewhat sloppy smile on his face.

"Anyway, it's a leisure job. I can walk around when I have nothing to do, or stay at home with my grandparents."

Shen Yi glanced at him angrily.

"Senior brother, if you say this, those local officials will definitely chop you twice."

His tone was a bit helpless: "My uncle almost lost all his family's wealth more than ten years ago. After going through countless connections, he was hired as a ninth-rank official. After working for more than ten years, he only stopped at seventh-rank county magistrate. .”

Zhang Jian smiled, didn't answer the question, but asked: "Ziheng went back to Jiankang, did he go to see Master Zhao?"

Shen Yi shook his head slightly.

He looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one in the private room, he slightly lowered his voice: "It's not convenient for me to see Master Zhao right now."

Zhang Jian frowned: "Why?"

"Some things are inconvenient to talk about right now. After these few days pass, I will explain it clearly to my brother."

Zhao Changping was "summoned" by the emperor because Shen Yi wanted to build ships and cannons along the coast.

And the emperor himself pointed out this matter.

Moreover, Zhao Shangshu notified Shen Yi in advance of this matter through some channels in private.

Then, before the dust settles on this matter, it is inconvenient for Shen Yi and Zhao Changping to meet, because they actually have nothing to say when they meet.

And it's not very good for either party.

After all, no one can naively think that there is no emperor's eyes and ears around him.

Especially after meeting the emperor last night, Shen Yi even felt that when he was sleeping at night, the eyes of the inner guards outside the door were staring at him.

After Shen Yi paused, he continued: "Brother, if you go to see Uncle Zhao these two days, please tell him for me, just say..."

"Let's just say that my little brother knows what's in his heart and won't do anything out of line."

These words are Shen Yi's promise to Zhao Changping, and also his promise to Ganquan Academy.

Hearing what Shen Yi said, Zhang Jian naturally didn't ask any more questions. He silently memorized Shen Yi's words, then nodded and said, "Well... tomorrow... the day after tomorrow. I'll go see Master Zhao the day after tomorrow."

The reason for going the day after tomorrow is because he just met Shen Yi today, so going the day after tomorrow will not attract attention.

There is no need to say this kind of thing between smart people. Sometimes two people look at each other, and both sides know it well.

After the two had a conversation, Zhang Jian raised his wine glass and toasted Shen Yi.

The new Prime Minister of Taichang Temple was smiling.

"When Ziheng comes back from the southeast, you and my brothers can often gather together and build health."
