marquis of jingan

Chapter 509 Two Same Books

In the middle of the night, in the Temple of Manna.

A volume of ancient books that had turned yellow was placed in front of the emperor. His Majesty looked down at the volume in front of him, which was obviously bound by himself, and was very rough. Master, he looks a little weird.

"The Marquis of Anping gave it to you?"

Shen Yi nodded honestly: "Yes, when I was having a wedding banquet at the Yue Palace this evening, I ran into Marquis Anping. Marquis Anping said that I was training sailors for the imperial court, so I showed my family's naval military books to me. It can be regarded as contributing to the court."

At this time, Master Shen did not expect that he could see the emperor so late.

In fact, he never expected to see the emperor.

Tonight, when he met An Ping Hou, although the words An Ping Hou said to him were obscure, Shen Yi actually understood a little bit of what this General Zhao said.

The rise of the Anti-Japanese Army is basically unstoppable. After all, the Anti-Japanese Army now has [-] soldiers and horses, and there is no Japanese pirate in the coast that can directly compete with the Anti-Japanese Army.

As for the Zhao clan who wanted to kill the anti-Japanese army, there were only two ways to go.

The first way is to kill His Majesty the Emperor and disband the Anti-Japanese Army from top to bottom.

The second way is to simply raise the flag to rebel, drive the Huaihe Navy southward, and crush the anti-Japanese army who are still in their infancy.

Obviously, neither of these options is realistic.

Therefore, General Zhao had no choice but to try to win over Shen Yi.

He asked Shen Yi to fight for a few generations of wealth, in fact, he implied that Shen Yi should become a new military leader like the Zhao Clan.

And it is impossible for the imperial court to produce another military leader.

If Shen Yi wants to become a new military leader, he must cooperate with the Zhao family.

In this way, Master Shen will also be able to become a marquis and a general in the future, and become the leader of the Nanchen military after the Zhao Clan.

For this reason, the Marquis of Anping was very willing to give Shen Yi all the original books of war written by his grandfather.

Although Master Shen is very envious of this book of war, he is very clear that such matters still need to be reported to the higher authorities.

Otherwise, the line is not clear, and there is ambiguity with the Zhao family, so Shen Yi will lose the trust of His Majesty the Emperor in a short time.

So he came to Gao Ming overnight to report.

The meaning is very simple, after I get this book of war, I will still serve His Majesty the Emperor in the future, please rest assured His Majesty the Emperor.

But what Shen Yi didn't expect was that not only did he meet Gao Ming, the chief eunuch of the inner court at night, but after explaining the situation to Gao Ming, eunuch Gao immediately reported to him, and even took him to the Temple of Manna to face the saint.

You know, the gates of the palace are closed now.

According to common sense, the foreign minister who can see the emperor at this time is either an official of the Ministry of War who sent an emergency military report, or the prime minister on duty in Zhongshu Province.

Although there were some surprises, Shen Yi still stood obediently in front of the emperor, waiting for His Majesty's instructions.

The emperor narrowed his eyes, casually flipped through a few pages of the old book in front of him, then put the book aside, and said "tsk": "Looking at the quality of this book, it's not the original, it should be five The Marquis of Anping is really willing to give up the copy that was transcribed 60 years ago."

After saying this, the emperor glanced at the eunuch Gao, and said calmly: "Gao Ming, go and get the farewell gift I prepared for Shen Qing."

Gao Ming nodded quickly, walked to the shelf in the apse of Ganlu Hall with small steps, then took down a wooden box from the shelf, held a rectangular box in both hands, and handed it to Shen Yi.

The emperor yawned and said lightly, "Open it and have a look."

Shen Yi should be respectful, then opened the wooden box, and saw a dagger on the wooden box, the scabbard was very well made, but Shen Yi couldn't pull it out in front of the emperor, so as not to be guarded by the emperor. The palace people beat to death with pumpkins.

And under this dagger, there is also a book.

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, and took out this beautifully bound book from it, only to see four words written on the cover of the book.

""Navy Master Wants"!"

Shen Yi turned to the first page thoughtfully.

The content on the first page is exactly the same as the one given to him by Marquis Anping.

Although Shen Yi didn't have time to read that old book, he casually flipped through a few pages. He was born as a Jinshi, and he is relatively sensitive to words. Although it is impossible to memorize it, the content of the first page can already be memorized. .

Two books, the content is the same.

At least the dock pages are the same.

Seeing that Shen Yi was stunned in place, His Majesty the Emperor smiled faintly: "Duke Dingguo is almost the same age as Emperor Sejong. When Emperor Sejong was 60 years old, he heard that Dingguogong had successfully written a book, so he asked Dingguogong to discuss this book. Come as a congratulatory gift."

Shen Yi was shocked when he heard this.

The emperor said these words lightly, but the Emperor Sejong at that time was able to grasp the progress of Duke Dingguo's writing...

The emperor's means can be seen.

It was Anping Hou Zhao Lu's method that made Shen Xi feel a chill down his spine.

He was still wondering why the Marquis of Anping was so generous and gave him his grandfather's art of war for free. He didn't expect that there was a copy of this thing in the palace, and it was not exclusive at all...

"Later, this book has been hidden in the secret library of the palace. The emperors of all dynasties will send someone to copy a copy every once in a while, so as not to lose it."

As he said that, the emperor looked at the wooden box in Shen Yi's hand, and said with a smile: "The book in front of Shen Qing is the copy of the navy master's copy in this dynasty. Originally, I planned to pass the Shangyuan Festival. , let Gao Ming bring it to you."

Speaking of this, the emperor paused for a moment, then glanced at Gao Ming, and said calmly: "But Marquis Anping seems to be more clever. Before I have time to send this book of war, he already knows that I am going to send it."

"And sent the original out first."

The eunuch Gao fell to his knees with a plop, kowtowed deeply to the emperor, touched his forehead to the ground, and let out a "bang" sound: "This servant is negligent, I will die forever..."

"Slaves must strictly investigate the Ministry of Internal Affairs, slaves..."

"Okay, don't break my floor tiles."

The emperor frowned slightly, and then said lightly: "However, you, Eunuch Gao's own children and grandchildren, have to be disciplined. If this kind of thing happens again, I will change to someone who can hide things."

Eunuch Gao was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

The emperor didn't look at him again, but looked up at Shen Yi, and sighed slightly: "Shen Qing is probably suspicious at the moment, thinking that after I saw Marquis Anping send you this book of war, I let Gao Ming do it afterwards. Ready, aren't you?"

Shen Yi hastily bowed and saluted: "I definitely don't have such thoughts, my body is insignificant, Your Majesty will definitely not be like this..."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and did not answer.

He glanced at the old book on the table, then at the new book in Shen Yi's hand, and then waved his hand lightly: "Since you have two identical books, Shen Qing, you can take them back so you can compare them. Maybe Duke Ding added some content in the last few years."

"However, there is one thing that I still want to explain to Shen Qing."

The emperor glanced at the two books and said, "This book..."

"Not to be passed on."

Shen Yi's heart trembled, and he immediately bowed his head deeply.

"I understand..."
