marquis of jingan

Chapter 486 Someone in the palace is looking for it!
After listening to her cousin's words, Empress Dowager Sun frowned immediately. She looked at Sun Yanchang, the father-in-law in front of her, and after a long silence, she asked, "Who told you about the anti-Japanese military situation along the coast?"

Sun Yanli smiled at the Empress Dowager: "Sister, a few days ago the anti-Japanese army smashed the Japanese pirates in Wenzhou Prefecture. It was recorded in the residence newspaper. Later, my younger brother felt curious and asked someone to inquire about the situation of the anti-Japanese army. , Sister, you also know that some people in the family are doing business along the coast, and the news is fairly well-informed..."

Empress Dowager Sun took a deep breath and closed her eyes: "Our family is living a very good life now. No matter what you do or what blessings you enjoy, the Ai family doesn't have to ask you, but sacrifice and honor are national affairs. Don't even think about it."

Sun Yanli bent slightly, lowered his head and said: "Sister, I discussed this matter with Yanchang, our brothers are not unreasonable people, and we will not let sister make things difficult for you. If we were fighting against the people of Qi, our brothers would not even say a word, and we would never hold back the imperial court..."

"But the suppression of Japanese along the coast..."

Sun Yanli said in a low voice: "Sister, it is not difficult for the anti-Japanese army to wipe out the Japanese pirates. It can even destroy thousands of pirates, with only dozens of casualties..."

"Our Sun family has enjoyed so many years of blessings, so we should make some contributions to the imperial court..."

"Our family has done meritorious service along the coast, and your empress is also honored."

These words are actually very shameless.

And very shameless.

The meaning of Sun Yanli's words, if you translate it, it means that you have the courage to fight against the Qi people, but you do have the courage to go to the southeast coast to gain ready-made military exploits. Not only do you have it, but you are also very bold!

If His Majesty the Emperor heard these words in person, he would probably want to slap his old father-in-law.

But after all, Empress Dowager Sun's surname is Sun, and such shameless words sounded less harsh to her. Empress Dowager Sun lowered her head and thought for a while, then reached out and rubbed her temples, then looked up at Sun Yanli, and spit out Turbidity: "Foreign relatives are in charge of the army, not to mention the prime ministers in Zhongshu, even the civil servants in the court are not willing."

"this matter…"

She looked at Sun Yanli and said slowly: "This matter is very difficult to handle. It is basically impossible for the two of you to be the commanders of the Anti-Japanese Army, but we can arrange the younger generation of our family to the southeast." Doing things in the anti-Japanese army, so that I have some merits, and I will be an official in the imperial court in the future, it will be a matter of course."

The problem of Chen Guo's foreign relatives is not very serious. After all, there are powerful civil servants to suppress them. These foreign relatives can't make any big waves, but the Sun family has two generations of queens in a row. Naturally, they are not reconciled to being only in Jiankang A rich man is eating and waiting to die, and they also want to have some voices of their own in the court.

Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Sun looked at Sun Yanli, and continued: "The Ai family will find an opportunity to arrange for you, but you can't go to the emperor, let alone the queen, understand?"

Although Sun Yanli was somewhat unwilling, he still lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, sister, younger brother is sensible."

After finishing speaking, Sun Yanli bowed to the empress dowager, then turned and left.

After the head of state left, Empress Dowager Sun sat lazily on the soft couch, first she lowered her brows and thought for a while, then glanced at a female officer beside her, and asked, "Has Shen Yi returned to Jiankang?"

This female official looks about 30 years old. She was the maid who followed the queen mother when she first entered the palace. Now, as the status of the queen mother has climbed step by step, her status has also risen with the tide. Now she is in the Kunde Palace. Here, it can basically be said that it is under one person.

She is basically in charge of matters big and small in the Kunde Palace, so she can be said to be the chief steward of the Kunde Palace.

She is also responsible for some outside information.

The female officer bowed her head respectfully and said: "Madam, Shen Yi's wife gave birth a few days ago, so he returned to Jiankang early."

"Production…"

The empress dowager rubbed her temples with her hand, and said softly: "Well... tomorrow, let him come to Kunde Palace tomorrow, the Ai family has something to look for him."

The female officer looked at the queen mother in surprise.

Then she bowed her head respectfully: "Yes, servant girl will arrange it now."

After saying this, she paused and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to hide this from Your Majesty?"

"No need."

Empress Dowager Sun waved her hand lightly and said: "There is no need to hide this and that between mother and child, so as not to make him suspicious."

"Go and do it."

The female officer bowed her head again: "I understand."

………………

After returning to Jiankang, Shen Yi suddenly became more relaxed.

First of all, he didn't have the errand of the Di Bao Si, and it was thousands of miles away, and it was hard for him to ask the Anti-Japanese Army if he wanted to. He didn't have to go to work at the Ministry of War and the Imperial Academy, so he simply enjoyed his holiday life happily.

For several days in a row, he was either staying at home with his wife and children, or going out to read books in Liquan Building, or playing chess with Mr. Gu in Dayifang, or drinking with a certain Taichang Temple Prime Minister. It is chic and happy.

On this day, in the private room of Cuiyun Building in Jiankang North City, Master Shen sat across the table from the Prime Minister of Taichang Temple. After the two toasted, Zhang Jian looked around the private room and said, "My son Heng just said, this restaurant was opened by the young man Xu Fu who followed you from Jiangdu to Jiankang?"

Shen Yi chuckled: "It's not just you, brother, I also feel that the world is impermanent."

After the two brothers sighed, they talked about each other's work. After Zhang Jian drank a sip of wine, he complained to Shen Yi: "Ziheng, you don't know that in this Taichang Temple, it's terribly leisurely. My temple Cheng, there is basically no difference whether you go every day or not."

Shen Yi glanced at him with a smile: "So, brother, dare not go?"

"I dare not."

Zhang Jian shrank her neck, lowered her head and said, "If I don't go to the errands arranged by the old man at home, I will have to peel off my skin when I go back."

"correct."

Zhang Jian looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "Ziheng, you are more leisurely than me now. It just so happens that my old man mentioned you two days ago. If you have nothing to do, you will take time to visit my house these two days to accompany you." The old man has a meal."

"The old man is very interested in the anti-Japanese army you created."

Shen Yi shook his head, smiled at Zhang Jian and said, "It's no problem to visit the old Xiangguo, but brother, don't worry, this anti-Japanese army was not made by me, it was made by the imperial court, and it was made by the imperial envoy Jin Shizi." of."

Shen Yi narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "It has nothing to do with me."

"Tsk..."

Zhang Jian clinked a glass of wine with Shen Yi, and sighed: "I can't believe it, Ziheng, you are a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old. Judging by your cautious appearance, you look a bit like the head of those officials and eunuchs in Jiankang City." Big, an old fritter who has been in the officialdom for decades."

Master Shen chuckled: "Thank you, brother, for your compliment."

The two brothers looked at each other and laughed.

While the brothers were eating and drinking, someone knocked on the door of the private room.

Outside the door is the servant of the Zhang family.

Zhang Jian was disturbed, frowned, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Outside the door, there was a quick response.

"My lord, someone came from the palace and said it was..."

"He said he came to find Mr. Shen..."
