marquis of jingan

Chapter 628

The fact that the emperor can say something like "It's rare that you have a public heart" means that when he asked Shen Yi about the candidates for the command and envoy, there was some element of temptation in it.

But it is also true that the emperor has no one to use.

In the past few years of his pro-government, most of his time was spent wrestling with the civil officials in the court and controlling the imperial army.

Even running the southeast is just a "idle hand" move by the emperor. Apart from sending a young official, Shen Yi, basically no other political resources have been spent.

As for the fact that this trick of idle hands has blossomed in the southeast, and even made such a good situation, it is largely due to Master Shen's efforts.

Precisely because the time for ascension to the throne was too short, the emperor did not have many truly trustworthy and useful candidates, especially military officers.

Almost all the military officers he could use were placed in the imperial army.

The imperial army is the capital of the emperor, it is impossible for him to transfer generals from the imperial army to the southeast to be the commander in chief.

After all, he is qualified to be the military attache of the capital commander, and his position in the imperial army is probably extremely high.

The little emperor frowned and thought for a long time, finally shook his head, and said helplessly: "Forget it, I can't figure out what's going on now, let's talk about it after the New Year's Eve."

After saying this, he looked at Shen Yi and chatted for a while, until late at night, when Shen Yi got up to leave for the fifth time, the emperor finally let him go and let him go.

Because it was late at night, the emperor planned to keep Shen Yi in the palace overnight, but Shen Yi insisted on going home, so the emperor had no choice but to agree and let Gao Ming send him out of the palace.

It's not that Shen Yi's level is worthy of being sent off by the eunuch in person, it's because at this hour, there are not many people in the palace who can open the palace door, and eunuch Gao Minggao is one of them.

Shen Yi followed Eunuch Gao and left the Ganlu Palace.

As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, a gust of cold air hit his face.

Shen Yi couldn't help tightening the robe on his body.

On the other hand, Eunuch Gao seems to have adapted to this alternating hot and cold scene, and his steps are still smooth.

He walked in front of Shen Yi, without looking back, while walking, he asked indifferently: "Scholar Shen, Sun Jin is in Zhejiang, is he doing well with his errands?"

Shen Yi thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "Eunuch Sun is a cautious person, and of course he handles errands very well. Eunuch has also seen it. The accounts reported by the Wenzhou Shipping Department are very beautiful..."

"Just do it well."

Gao Ming looked back at Shen Yi, and said with a smile, "Well done, let him prepare for the construction of the few remaining municipal bureaus next year."

Shen Yi smiled, but didn't answer.

He has no interest in participating in the intrigue among the eunuchs in the palace.

After all, these people are not on the same track as him. When they meet each other on weekdays, they are polite to each other, so as not to let the other party stab him in the back, that's all.

There is no need to mix it in. First, it is not profitable, and second, it may be contaminated with fishy smell.

Seeing that Shen Yi had stopped talking, Eunuch Gao changed the subject and asked, "That nephew of our family, is everything okay now?"

He was talking about Xu Fu.

Shen Yi said calmly: "Xu Fu is in the south, everything is fine."

"Errands went well."

"That's good."

Eunuch Gao smiled, and said pointedly: "That child, maybe he will have great achievements in the future."

Hearing what he said, Shen Yi answered with a smile.

"Yes, I also think he will have a bright future in the future."

When the two of them said this, they stopped talking in a tacit agreement, and just walked silently in the palace city one after the other.

This is actually a very interesting picture.

Recalling a few years ago, when Shen Yi saw this chief steward of the inner court, he was still trembling, and he dared to speak every word after careful consideration.

But now, before he knew it, Master Shen seemed to be able to talk to Eunuch Gao on an equal footing.

Of course, in terms of real power, he still has a long way to go to catch up with Gao Ming.

But at the very least, when two people talk, they are no longer as clear as before.

After a while, the two came to the gate of the palace. Gao Ming used his waist card to open the gate of the palace and sent Shen Yi to the gate of the palace. Bachelor go back."

Shen Yi bowed his head and thanked.

"Thank you, Eunuch Gao."

Soon, four eunuchs carried a sedan chair and stopped in front of Shen Yi. Master Shen didn't show any politeness, and got in short.

In Jiankang City in the middle of the night, although there were still some noises in the workshops, the streets were basically empty. Shen Yi's sedan chair walked through Jiankang City for half an hour before stopping at the entrance of Shen's house.

Master Shen got off the sedan chair, took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve, and stuffed it into the hand of the eunuch who carried the sedan chair, as a reward for them.

After rewarding a few eunuchs, Shen Yi reached the door of his house and knocked on the door.

Originally, at this time, the family should be asleep, but just as Shen Yi knocked on the door, someone came to answer the door immediately, and after hearing Shen Yi's voice, the door opened immediately.

It's Shen Heng.

After Shen Heng opened the door, he stretched out his hand to hold Shen Yi's arm, looked at Shen Yi worriedly, and said, "Why did you come back so late, brother?"

After Shen Yi entered the house, he exhaled heavily and said with a wry smile, "It would be nice to be back."

He looked up at Shen Heng and asked, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

"You were called away by the people in the palace when you were halfway through your meal..."

Shen Heng said in a low voice: "Who can be relieved? Father originally asked Qing'er and Pinger to wait for you at the door. I was worried, so I let them go to sleep and wait for you here."

Speaking of this, Shen Heng glanced at his elder brother cautiously, and said in a low voice: "Brother, is nothing wrong?"

"What can I do..."

At this moment, Master Shen felt warm in his heart. In the cold winter night, with the faint light of the lantern in Shen Heng's hand, he exhaled a puff of white steam, shook his head slightly and said, "It's just that talking in the palace takes too much time, and I'm a little tired now. .”

His Majesty the current emperor is a very smart emperor.

Talking to smart people, especially smart leaders, must be very exhausting. Sometimes every word must be carefully considered.

And just now, Shen Yi stayed with this big boss for almost two hours!

This is naturally a very labor-intensive thing.

Shen Heng supported Shen Yi, and said softly: "Brother, next spring, I will also be a Jinshi."

"Would you be able to relax a bit and not have to work so hard like now?"

Only then did Shen Yi take a serious look at this brother who grew up with him.

Before he knew it, he had grown almost as tall as himself.

Master Shen was quite touched in his heart. After taking a deep breath, he smiled at Shen Heng: "You get hit first, then we can talk."

The young master of the Shen family who had just won the Juren, smiled slightly at Shen Yi: "Master Gu said, next spring, I will probably be able to win."

While speaking, Shen Heng had already helped Shen Yi to the door of Shen Yi's bedroom.

In the bedroom, the lights were still on.

Shen Heng stopped and smiled at Shen Yi: "Sister-in-law is not asleep yet, elder brother go in by yourself, younger brother is going back to sleep too."

After finishing speaking, he smiled at Shen Yi, turned and left.

Master Shen came to the door, before reaching out to knock on the door, the door opened slowly.

Lu Qingque stood in the room, behind her were some flickering candles.

The candlelight illuminated her demeanor even more gentle.

"Why did you come back so late?"

She asked while pulling Shen Yi into the room.

"Your Majesty dragged me to ask questions, and refused to let me go."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "I had to resign five times before I could rush back to see my wife."

Lu Ruoxi pulled Shen Yi to sit down by the bed, and reached out to help Shen Yi take off his coat and hang it by the bed.

"There are so many high-ranking officials in the imperial court, and I don't know what they are busy with. They insist on running around..."

She seemed to be complaining, but also seemed to feel sorry for her husband.

Master Shen held her hand and sighed slightly: "Madam, no one forced me to do these things, but if I don't do it, other people may not be able to do it..."

Having said that, he smiled at Lu Ruoxi.

"Besides, I have done a lot of things for my husband this year. Even if the imperial court doesn't give me a promotion, the madam's order will always be given to me."

Madam Shen turned her face away, and hummed softly: "Who cares about such orders..."

Shen Yi wrapped her arms around her waist from behind, and whispered in her ear: "What about Yuan'er?"

Lu Ruoxi bit her lips lightly, and stopped talking.

"Sealing a wife and a son is a man's fame."

Master Shen's tone was gentle.

Madam Shen turned around and hugged Shen Yi, her eyes were red.

"I don't want Shichiro to be too tired..."

Shen Yi yawned, put his arms around his wife and got into the quilt.

"It's okay to be tired, you won't be tired when you wake up..."
