marquis of jingan

Chapter 564
The news of the concubine in the palace was deliberately suppressed by the emperor, so this matter was only spread within a small area and did not spread in Jiankang City.

But there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Even so, this incident spread on a small scale in Jiankang City, so that the next day after the incident, when Zhang Jian and Zhang Yi'an invited Shen Yi to drink in Guiyun Building, Talked about it.

The son of the Xiangmen was quite gossip, and while having a glass of wine with Shen Yi, he said with a smile: "The minister of Dali Temple in this dynasty has always had the title of stern and selfless outside, and his reputation is very good. In Jiankang There is not even a servant in the mansion, usually only a family of three live there, but this time a granddaughter popped up out of nowhere and was actually taken by His Majesty."

Zhang Jian said with a chuckle: "He is a Jiuqing who was born in a regular family, and somehow became a relative. He heard that his granddaughter entered the palace, and he was only conferred as a concubine. At this moment, Old Man Lu is probably very annoyed."

Shen Yi also clinked the wine glass with Zhang Jian with a smile, and said with a smile: "Zi Feiyu, how can you know the joy of the fish? Maybe this minister of Dali Temple is very happy now."

Shen Yi didn't know much about this Minister of Dali Temple, but he knew the cause and effect of this matter very well.

It is a great honor for ordinary people to bring a woman of unknown origin into the family and then marry into the palace, but it may not be a great honor for high-ranking officials.

Those flatterers, in order to please the emperor, may lower themselves and be willing to do this kind of thing for the emperor, but if it is a so-called "clear stream" with a good reputation, most of them are unwilling to do such a thing for their own reputation of.

But the official has reached a certain height, and sometimes the emperor can't force him to do things he doesn't want to do.

That is to say... the Minister of Dali Temple was either inconsistent with the rumors, or he had some reason to be manipulated by the emperor.

As for why the palace chose such a family, it is quite understandable.

Because the Lu family is small.

If it were another high-ranking official or noble family, not to mention the number of people in the family, there might be hundreds of servants alone. Forty people.

There is an "extra" person out of nowhere. If there are many people in the family, so many mouths, it is not easy to hide it. Only a "poor" official like Lu Qingzheng, who has no one in the family, will be much easier to hide. .

"Come on."

Zhang Jian said with a chuckle: "Your Majesty hasn't widely selected girls, and there are not many people in the harem. Now that she suddenly selected this woman from the Lu family to enter the palace, and she was in such a hurry, she must love her very much. Then this woman from the Lu family Girl, life in the palace may not be so easy."

Shen Yi knew that Zhang Jian was talking about the descendant Sun's family, but he didn't think the inner court affairs had anything to do with him, so he lowered his head and took a sip of wine, smiled and said, "Brother is very knowledgeable about these anecdotes."

"This capital city is boring."

Zhang Jian lowered her head and took a sip of her mulled wine, and said in a muffled voice, "You are casual and happy outside, you don't know that I am in Taichang Temple, and I can say that I have nothing to do every day. If I don't listen to some interesting stories, I will die of boredom."

Saying that, Zhang Jian looked at Shen Yi, and said with sincere emotion: "Speak from the bottom of my heart, I envy you for my brother, and my envious eyes are going to turn red."

"Not to mention making great achievements outside, the official is still rising, and now it is the fifth rank."

He gave a "tsk", his eyes were full of envy: "If this goes on, it's only a matter of time before you, Shen Ziheng, pay homage to the prime minister."

"Senior brother, please kill me."

Shen Yi lowered his head and took a sip of his wine, and said with some disinterestedness: "If I can be the Prime Minister of Taichang Temple in Jiankang, then I would also like to stay in Jiankang, but unfortunately, if I stay in Jiankang, there is a high probability that I will still be a Ninth grade school secretary, how can you compare with senior brother?"

"Besides..."

Master Shen sighed: "Brother, you only saw me eating meat, but you didn't see me being beaten."

He narrowed his eyes, raised his head and gulped it down.

Zhang Jian was a little surprised: "What did Zi Heng say?"

Shen Yi looked at Zhang Jian and said helplessly, "Senior brother, I came from a poor family in Jiangdu. I have no clan power or court background. Except for Mr. Zhao who takes care of me, basically no one in the court will take a second look at me, but even Uncle Zhao took care of him, Brother Song didn't climb so fast, how can I, Shen Qi, earn four thousand dollars in two years, and rank five as an official?"

"That's not easy."

Zhang Jian said with a smile: "We are all working as long-term workers for the Li family. Everything depends on His Majesty's thoughts. Just relying on the words "Jane in the Emperor's Heart" is enough for everything. Besides..."

"By relying on your merits, Ziheng, among those who have obtained qualifications in the Ministry of War, which one is better than you? Not to mention a doctor of the Ministry of War, I think it should be given to you as a servant of the Ministry of War."

Master Shen shook his head again, and said flatly: "Senior brother, the reason why I was promoted so quickly is more because His Majesty felt that he owed me, so he compensated me with grades."

"Because I was afraid that you would be worried, senior brother, I only informed Senior Uncle Zhao about some things, but I didn't inform senior brother you."

Master Shen took a sip of his wine and said, "A few days ago in Yueqing, I was almost burned to death."

After Shen Yi talked about the matter before and after, Zhang Yi'an jumped up and said angrily: "There is no law!"

"These gangsters dare to set fire to imperial envoys!"

"Only ordered by someone."

Shen Yi took a sip of his wine lightly, and laughed at himself: "To tell the truth, brother, this little brother's head is only temporarily placed on his neck, and he will be decapitated at some point."

He toasted Zhang Jian.

"This trip back to Jiankang, I spend most of my time at home with my wife and children. Apart from His Majesty's call, only you, Zhang Yi'an, can call me out."

Zhang Jian originally thought that Shen Yi was joking, but the more he heard it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and then slowly put down his wine glass, frowned and said: "Qilang, what happened?"

Shen Yi smiled and said, "There is a clean department in Northern Qi, does brother know?"

Zhang Jian was thoughtful: "I've heard of some, and it is said that they are all good fighters selected by the barbarians, who hide in the dark and are first-rate in killing people."

Shen Yi let out a mouthful of alcohol, and said helplessly: "Originally, I didn't know much about the Cleansing Department, but these days, I went to find some information about the Cleansing Department. The Northern Qi Cleansing Department has all kinds of people. 6 to [-] people."

"Among them, there are still a large part of them hiding in my court, hiding in the dark, and they are not included in the calculation."

Shen Yi looked up at Zhang Jian, and said in a low voice: "Now, this cleaning department is probably staring at me all the time, maybe he will jump out at any time and end my life with a knife."

Zhang Jian frowned again.

"Tell me in detail."

Shen Yi sighed, and told about his being on the assassination list.

Then he got up slowly, bowed to the son of the Xiangmen, with a serious face: "Brother Yi An, if anything happens to the younger brother in the future, the wife and children at home..."

"I'll have to ask my elder brother to take care of him."

Zhang Jian looked at Shen Yi with a complicated expression, and then sighed.

"Speaking of which, I really don't envy your promotion to this official."

After that, he also stood up, bowing to Shen Yi in return.

"But if you have the power to spare, it is your duty."
