Chapter 453 Containing Authority
It is necessary to meet Zhang Jian.

One reason is that the two brothers and sisters have not seen each other for a long time, and the other reason is that Shen Yi must use some kind of channel to meet with the people in the academy, or to communicate with the academy.

Going to see Zhao Changping was a bit too direct.

And Zhang Jian is the best choice.

In the Yaoyue building, the two senior brothers exchanged cups, and before they knew it, their cheeks were slightly red.

Zhang Jian smiled and told Shen Yi the interesting things he had seen and heard in Jiangdu in the past few years. From time to time, he popped out a few words in Jiangdu dialect that were not so standard, which made Shen Yi, a native of Jiangdu, couldn't help laughing.

After the two of them finished drinking two jugs of wine, they were talking when the door of the private room was pushed open with a creak.

A young man in white clothes showed half of his body from the door, and took a deep look at the two people who were drinking.

At this moment, Shen Yi's back is facing the door.

But when he heard the noise, he and Zhang Jian looked at the door at the same time.

Zhang Jian recognized who this young man was almost immediately. He stood up and said with a slight sneer, "Mr. Zhao, even if he was born as a general, should know the reason why you should not enter? Why are there no rules?"

Zhao Zhuo shrugged helplessly, and said lightly: "Brother Zhang misunderstood, I didn't go in, I just brought friends here for dinner, and when I passed by the door, I heard that Brother Zhang was there, so I came over to say hello."

After saying this, he looked at Shen Yi, with an incomprehensible smile on his face: "Shen Sizheng is also here, I heard that Shen Sizheng is here recently, and he went south with the prince, and made a lot of great achievements."

Shen Yi didn't stand up, but glanced back at Zhao Zhuo, and said with a smile, "I don't dare to do meritorious service, I just ran with the imperial envoy. The reason why I went south was mainly because I was afraid of staying in Jiankang. If the girl is beaten up, the loss outweighs the gain."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi glanced at Zhao Zhuo and said with a smile, "Is the fourth girl okay recently?"

Hearing Shen Yi mentioning his sister, the smile on Zhao Zhuo's face stagnated, and then he glanced at the two of them with no expression on his face: "You two take it easy, I'm going to eat too."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Seeing Zhao Zhuo leaving in a disgruntled manner, Zhang Jian was very happy. He said excitedly, "This kid has been rampant for so many years, and today is the first time I see him deflated."

The son of Xiangmen said with a smile: "The next time I see him, I will also talk about the fourth girl of his family. I heard that after the fourth girl beat you in Jiming Temple last time, everyone made a fuss. Now no one even tells her about her in-laws."

There was no smile on Shen Yi's face. He silently raised his wine glass, touched Zhang Jian, and said slowly, "Brother, it seems that the Zhao family knew about the anti-Japanese army early on."

"What's so strange about this?"

Zhang Jian also clinked glasses with Shen Yi, and then said: "They are very sharp. I've heard about it, and their family probably knew about it a long time ago."

Shen Yi lowered his head to drink silently and didn't speak any more.

He had always suspected that the reason why Wenzhou Mansion gathered three bands of Japanese pirates all of a sudden must be manipulated by some forces behind the scenes, and now Zhao Zhuo's appearance confirmed his conjecture.

Jiankang Zhao clan...

Very suspicious.

If this matter really has something to do with the Zhao Clan, then these Zhao family members really deserve to die.

And it's the whole family, no one deserves to die.

..............................

After drinking with Zhang Jian, Shen Yi went to Dayifang to meet Mr. Gu in the afternoon. The little old man was very energetic and energetic.

The only thing that worried Shen Yi was that he didn't find out about Old Man Gu's family in Taizhou Mansion. He heard from his neighbors that his family moved early and no longer lived in Taizhou.

As for where he moved to, there is no news yet.

For the next two days, Shen Yi spent a lot of time with the young pregnant woman at home, and sometimes took her out for a walk. At night, Shen Yi was at home tinkering with the memorabilia given to him by the emperor.

It's worth mentioning that Shen Yi, the mansion chief, has been back to Jiankang for several days, and he hasn't been back once.

In a blink of an eye, it was the fourth day, which was the "three days later" he had agreed with the emperor.

On this day, it was the time of the Great Court Meeting. Shen Yi first entered the imperial city, and then waited at the gate of the palace city. After all the civil and military officials dispersed, he quietly entered the imperial city and waited at the gate of the Deqing Palace.

At this moment, the emperor has just come down to court, most likely in the Deqing Hall.

After the eunuch at the gate informed, soon, two young eunuchs came out of the Deqing Palace and led Shen Yi to the apse of the Deqing Palace.

Deqing Hall is the place where the great court will be held, and it is also the place where the emperor lives and handles political affairs, but overall, it should be called Deqing Palace.

Because this Deqing Palace is composed of a group of palaces, there are about a dozen main halls and small halls, and the main hall that serves as the Great Court Assembly is the proper Deqing Palace.

After entering the Deqing Palace, Shen Yi was led by two young eunuchs to the apse of the Deqing Palace. After many detours, in a large hall, he saw His Majesty the Emperor wearing a dragon robe.

Because the court meeting had just ended, His Majesty the Emperor was still wearing court clothes instead of the normal clothes he usually wears on a daily basis. Now he was wearing a court dress tailored to his body, which made the young Emperor a bit more majestic for no reason.

Seeing Shen Yi approaching, the brush in the emperor's hand paused for a moment, then he beckoned him to sit down, and said: "I have some urgent matters to deal with, you wait here."

In the emperor's "office", Shen Yi naturally did not dare to disobey, so he could only lower his head and say: "Your Majesty's political affairs are important, so don't pay attention to your subordinates."

The emperor hummed, and began to approve the urgently needed memorials in his hand. These memorials that urgently need the emperor's own approval are generally not too many, but some things are indeed not trivial. Even His Majesty needs some time to think about it. Only then can I write.

Therefore, Shen Yi waited for more than half an hour before the emperor finished approving the memorandum at hand, then he glanced at Gao Ming beside him, and said: "It's all important things, you go and send them to Zhongshu saves it, and tells them to do it immediately, without delay."

Eunuch Gao nodded in agreement. He held up a dozen or so books in front of him with both hands, and then took a deep look at Shen Yi before leaving the hall with small steps.

After Gao Ming left, the little emperor got up and stretched his waist, then he looked at Shen Yi with a smile on his face: "It's been three days, has Shen Qing's memorial book been written yet?"

Shen Yi got up quickly, took out the notebook from his sleeve, and cupped his eyebrows with both hands.

The emperor gave him a wink, and the palace servants who were waiting on the side immediately stepped forward and handed over the memorandum in Shen Yi's hand.

The emperor sat back in his seat, yawned, and then opened the memorial written by Shen Yi.

It has been two and a half years since he officially served as the emperor. If you count the time when he was an "apprentice", it has been eight or nine years. , He only glanced at it, and he read Shen Yi's memorial.

His Majesty the emperor closed the memorial, looked at Shen Yi thoughtfully, and then asked: "Aren't those merchants who communicate with Japan along the coast extremely rich? According to the information sent back by Du Huai, the family background of these wealthy merchants is as good as possible. Why did Shen Qingni not agree to use this money to support the Anti-Japanese Army?"

"Chen Fei disagrees."

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said: "I also understand that His Majesty's doing this is also an expedient measure, in order to avoid those ministers in the court doing things, but..."

"The Anti-Japanese Army is a local army after all. If they can support themselves, it's not right at all."

Shen Yi lowered his eyebrows and said: "There is nothing wrong with confiscating Tongwo, and there is nothing wrong with using this money to support the Coast Guard, but..."

"If in the future, the authority to seize the rich merchants who communicate with the Japanese is still in the hands of the commander of the Anti-Japanese Army, I feel that sooner or later there will be problems."

"more importantly……"

Speaking of this, Shen Yi looked up at the emperor, then lowered his eyebrows and said: "If this is not changed, where is the empress dowager..."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to make it through."

The emperor took Shen Yi's memorial again, read it carefully up and down, and then smiled on his face.

"It's still Shen Qing, you are thoughtful."

"You wait here for a while."

The emperor stood up from his chair. He stretched a lot, yawned again, and seemed to rub his eyes with his hands, with a sleepy tone.

He said lazily as he walked towards the apse.

"I'm going to change my clothes, and I'll take you to Kunde Palace to meet your mother."
