marquis of jingan

Chapter 554
After being missed by Qi people, it did bring Shen Yi a lot of trouble.

Because he used to like to wander around the city, go to some busy markets or antique streets, and buy some gadgets, but now that the people of Qi have missed him, he doesn't dare to go out by himself.

Even if he knew that there were inner guards by his side, he would always murmur in his heart.

Therefore, in the few days after returning to Yueqing, he still lived in the camp of the Anti-Japanese Army and was busy with official business most of the time.

It is mainly the issue of pensions and subsequent rewards.

The pension silver for the anti-Japanese army is 20 taels of silver per person.

The reward for silver is to kill one enemy and five taels.

It is worth mentioning that at the very beginning, this reward was actually ten taels of silver, because at that time the anti-Japanese army was first established, and it was somewhat afraid of the Japanese pirates.

Later, after the First Battle of Yueqing, the combat effectiveness of the anti-Japanese army gradually increased, and the number of Japanese pirates killed gradually increased. Later, after many considerations, Master Shen lowered the silver reward standard.

But even so, the treatment of the anti-Japanese army is far better than those of the local guards, especially when the money is distributed, it is very straightforward.

Take pensions as an example. Some military pensions are issued by the local government. When the pensions are issued, they have to go through the process again and again. It's the official who has softened his hands.

The Anti-Japanese Army is different.

The list of dead soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Army was calculated by Shen Yi himself. After the statistics were calculated, he took the list and went to Eunuch Du to ask for money. People stare at the money.

The dead rules of the anti-Japanese army.

Great credit, as long as other people's hard-earned money is used, it is a death sentence, and no one can escape.

Because he couldn't go out, Shen Yi's work efficiency increased a lot. In only four or five days, he finished sorting out the pensions and rewards of the Anti-Japanese Army this time, and then each of the soldiers who participated in the battle this time received an additional five taels A bounty of silver.

In addition to these expenses, plus the money for buying pigs, sheep and livestock, there is not much money left in the "small money bank" of the anti-Japanese army.

After dealing with these matters, Shen Yi immediately issued an order that all the anti-Japanese army should take a one-month vacation. During this month, they could go home to visit their relatives, or they could continue to stay in the camp.

After announcing the holiday, Shen Yi held a meeting for the Anti-Japanese Army, which roughly meant that the money given out should be handed over to the family as much as possible to subsidize the family, and not to be spent on women's bellies.

A dozen or twenty taels of silver may seem like a lot, but in the brothel Chu Guan, it is too much to spend.

After dealing with all the matters concerning the anti-Japanese army, Shen Yi called Lu Sheng and returned to Jiankang with Lu Sheng.

The news that the emperor called him back to Beijing actually arrived in Yueqing two days ago, but Shen Yi was still busy with his business these two days, so he didn't go back.

Lu Sheng had been waiting for Shen Yi for two days. After Shen Yi greeted him, he immediately drove a carriage to the gate of the Anti-Japanese Army Camp to pick up people. At the gate, bid farewell to the two thousand households who were seeing off and the few hundred households who were still in the camp,
These generals all rode horses one after another and sent Shen Yi off for more than ten miles before stopping with Zhu Ma.

After these people stopped, Lu Sheng, who was in the same carriage as Shen Yi, smiled at Shen Yi and said, "Master Shen has a very good relationship with these generals of the Anti-Japanese Army."

Shen Yi smiled: "We have worked together for a while, so we naturally have some friendship. If we have different intentions, the suppression of the Japanese will not be so smooth."

Lu Sheng nodded, then closed his eyes and did not speak.

The commander-in-chief of the inner guard is a man of few words, and it is not easy to show a few smiling faces with Shen Yi occasionally.

On the way back to Beijing, there were at least a hundred inner guards around the two of them, so the safety issue was very guaranteed. Except for the slightly slower speed of the carriage, the rest could be said to be calm.

It took three days to walk all the way like this. On the afternoon of the fourth day, when Shen Yi was flipping through a book of "Dongying Geographic Maps" in the carriage, an inner guard rode on a horse and followed the carriage, walking side by side with the carriage, with a respectful voice: "Wei Shuai, I have news for you."

Lu Sheng was resting his eyes with his eyes closed. Hearing this, he opened his eyes, opened the curtain of the car, and took an envelope from this man.

After opening the envelope and taking out the paper inside to read it, Lu Sheng once again showed a rare smile on his face.

He glanced at Shen Yi who was turning the pages of the book, and said with a smile: "Master Shen, there is some news, do you want to hear it?"

Shen Yi's gaze immediately shifted from the book in his hand to Lu Sheng's face, and he asked curiously, "What news?"

"News about Beiqi."

Lu Weishuai folded the white paper in his hand, put it in an envelope, put it in his arms, and smiled faintly: "I just received the sad news that last year's top student in the Northern Qi Dynasty passed away unfortunately."

Hearing this unreasonable news, Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously asked: "How did you die?"

"Fell off a horse and died."

Lu Sheng's face was calm: "This number one scholar, who is only 24 years old this year, is said to be a great talent once in 50 years in the Northern Qi Dynasty. Unfortunately, he fell off his horse and died when he was riding a horse."

When he said this, he shook his head again: "What a pity."

He said "it's a pity", but he didn't see the slightest pity expression on his face, and even his tone didn't fluctuate, and he was very calm.

Shen Yi didn't react for a while, and after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't think of a clue. He still flipped through the geographic map in his hand, and just turned two pages, and a thunderbolt exploded in his mind!

he remembers...

A few days ago, Lu Sheng once told him that the imperial court would give him an explanation about his assassination in Yueqing...

And Lu Sheng said that this confession is coming soon!
Thinking of this, Master Shen swallowed, and couldn't read the book in his hand anymore.

He looked up at Lu Sheng in a daze, and swallowed again.

Could it be…

Could it be that the number one scholar in Northern Qi who fell to his death from a horse was the court's confession to him?

Thinking of this, Shen Yi couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

If this is the case, the confession given by the imperial court is really simple and rude...

And... the strength of the inner guard once again broke through Shen Yi's cognition.

But Shen Yi also knew in his heart that there was no way to ask Lu Sheng directly about such things, and even if he asked, Lu Sheng would most likely not admit it.

But with this little episode, Shen Yi's attitude towards Lu Sheng became a little more polite...

Time passed day by day, because the speed of the carriage was really not fast, Shen Yi only arrived at Jiankang City on the morning of the eighth day.

After entering Jiankang City, Lu Sheng drove Shen Yi to the vicinity of Shen's house in a carriage, then got off the carriage and bowed to Shen Yi, parted from Shen Yi, and headed towards the palace.

There is a high probability that he went to the palace to pay the order.

Master Shen, on the other hand, distinguished the direction, and then walked towards his home.

Before reaching the door of the house, Shen Yi saw two eunuchs waiting at his door.

And my own family members, father Shen Zhang, brother Shen Heng, and wife Lu Ruoxi were all at the door with the two young eunuchs, saying a few words from time to time.

Even the incense table connecting the purpose has been set up.

As soon as Shen Yi approached, the Shen family immediately noticed his figure, pointed at the two eunuchs, and the two eunuchs also stepped forward and asked, "Is it Master Shen?"

Shen Yi nodded and cupped his hands: "It's Shen."

The two young eunuchs looked at each other, and then smiled: "Shen Yi, the head of the Ministry of War, accepts the order."

Shen Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then he was pulled to the gate of the Shen residence with a smile by his brother Shen Heng, and knelt down with the Shen family.

"Brother, I heard it's an imperial decree for promotion,"

As soon as Shen Heng finished speaking, one of the young eunuchs coughed with a crisp voice.

"The system said."

"Shen Yi, the head of the Ministry of War, is good at commanding troops, and has skills in suppressing Japanese..."

"Conferred the title of Fengyi doctor, leading the military department doctor..."

Having said that, the eunuch paused, then looked at Shen Yi, and continued to read.

"Concurrently... a bachelor's degree attendant at the Imperial Academy..."
