Chapter 640 The Emperor's Favorite Concubine (I wish you all a Happy New Year's Eve!!)

Because he was not in the palace, His Majesty the Emperor at this time spoke a lot more casually, in a trance, he looked a little like the young emperor who once watched Shen Yi go on a cruise on the Qinhuai River.

After thinking about it for a while, Master Shen said: "I didn't get married for a long time, so I went south to do business. In the past two years, I spent less time with my family and spent more time away. These days, I spend more time with my wife and children at home. many."

The emperor glanced at Shen Yi: "Shen Qing is complaining to me?"

"Don't dare."

Shen Yi bowed his head and said: "I just feel that I owe my family, so I took advantage of the annual leave and hid at home to accompany my family."

His Majesty the Emperor snorted: "So, I sent you south to be a villain?"

"Otherwise, I won't be this villain anymore, and I will promote you, Shen Qing, from the Ministry of War to the Ministry of Officials next year, or simply let you be promoted to another level in the Imperial Academy, and let you become a Bachelor of the Imperial Academy in the Imperial Academy. You don’t have to part with your family anymore, okay?”

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said: "As soon as the humble officials are appointed by their duties, they are all in the heart of His Majesty, it's just that."

Master Shen raised his head to look at the emperor, and then continued: "It's just that my qualifications are shallow, and my talents and virtues are neglected. I absolutely can't be in charge of the Imperial Academy."

The Hanlin Bachelor is only half a level higher than the Imperial Academy's Bachelor of Attendance and Bachelor of Attendance, which is the fifth rank.

Theoretically speaking, it is not surprising that Shen Yi has been promoted from a fifth-rank Hanlin official to a fifth-rank Hanlin official, but the position of Hanlin bachelor is the actual controller of the Hanlin Academy, in charge of Wenhan, and prepared for the emperor's consultation.

In fact, it is already equivalent to the prime minister.

However, in fact, the position of the fifth-rank Hanlin bachelor is generally held concurrently by the prime minister of Zhongshu, such as Zhang Jian's grandfather Zhang Jing.When he was the prime minister in Zhongshu, he had always held the position of Hanlin bachelor.

It is precisely because of this that the old man can "be full of peaches and plums", and can compete with Yang Jingzong and Yang Xiang secretly in Zhongshu.

No matter how confused the emperor was, it was impossible for a young man in his early 20s to take charge of the Hanlin Academy.

As for Emperor Hongde, naturally he couldn't do such a thing. He said these words more out of yin and yang.

Seeing that Shen Yi not only did not admit his cowardice, but agreed to his arrangement, the emperor was startled, then shook his head slightly and said: "You are really a bit violent."

He asked: "I have been busy for more than two years, can I let go if I say let go?"

A smile appeared on Shen Yi's face: "Your Majesty doesn't allow me to do it, it's useless if I want to go, and"

"If His Majesty doesn't let me go to the southeast next year, I'm willing in my heart."

"Well"

The emperor looked at Shen Yi, thoughtful: "Do you have resentment in your heart?"

Shen Yi shook his head: "I dare not."

"If you don't dare to have it, you still have it."

The emperor looked back at the eunuch Gao who was accompanying him, and said lightly: "Gao Ming, let them serve the food. I will have a meal with Shen Qing."

Eunuch Gao nodded, bowed and retreated.

After Gao Ming left, the emperor stretched his waist, and said to Shen Yi: "Gao Ming has already told me about the conflict between Zhou and Shen Qing in Dongshi Street in the Northern Qi Dynasty."

The emperor looked at Shen Yi, and said lightly: "Shen Qing, I think that if you want to accomplish anything in this world, you need to pay some price."

He smiled at Shen Yi: "Now Shen Qing is ninth in the assassination list of the Department of Purity of the Northern Qi Dynasty, where does Shen Qing guess I rank?"

Shen Yi thought for a while, but didn't speak.

"I'm at the top of the list."

The emperor had a smile on his face, obviously quite proud of this ranking.

"Not every emperor of Da Chen can become the top of this list."

"Six years before I came to the throne, I wasn't even on the list."

"I asked the inner guard to check it, nearly 60 years"

The emperor smiled and said: "There are only two emperors, Da Chen, who are at the top of the list. One is my grandfather, and the other is me."

Emperor Hongde's grandfather was Emperor Xianzong.

The emperor who was almost on the verge of completing ZTE, but unfortunately died young.

"I know, Shen Qing, you are probably thinking in your heart, I live deep in the palace, and I don't know how many master guards are around me to protect me, so I don't have to worry about my own safety."

The emperor stretched out his hand and patted Shen Yi's shoulder, and sighed slightly: "Actually, I was also trembling."

"From Hongde's six years to now, the inner guards have discovered at least ten assassinations of me."

The ranking of the Northern Qi Cleanliness Department is based on the degree of threat to Northern Qi, but for Emperor Chen, the ranking indicators are very simple.

The emperor who was tougher on the Northern Qi, or the emperor who intends to conquer the Northern Qi, would be ranked higher on this list.

As for those emperors who were unwilling to make progress and preferred peace and peace, the Northern Qi's Purity Department would not be listed on the list. For example, the Emperor Sejong who led the Great Chen to Nandu back then was not on this list.

At this moment, Gao Ming had already brought up two tables of wine and food. His Majesty the Emperor knelt behind the low table and looked at Shen Yi: "Your family members, I will do my best to protect them. After you celebrate the New Year, go to the south to do business with peace of mind. In this Jiankang City, the people I want to keep safe will live very safely."

"As for the Qi man surnamed Zhou"

His Majesty the Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, with murderous intent in his eyes: "Northern Qi Zhou Jin'an is a family, everyone should be killed, and everyone should be chopped up, but can this family be killed?"

He looked at Shen Yi and said in a deep voice, "It depends on the abilities of our monarchs and ministers."

"It's getting too far."

The emperor took a mouthful of vegetables with chopsticks, and after chewing a few mouthfuls, he looked at Shen Yi.

"I asked you to have this meal today, not to tell you about it."

"The rumors about Jiankang are everywhere in the palace, and I am very annoyed."

"Concubine Hui gave birth... It should have been in the past few days. She has a strong temper. If she finds out about this, I'm afraid she won't survive."

"It happens that Shen Qing is in Jiankang, so you should do me a favor, spend some time writing a manuscript, send it to the mansion newspaper department, and distribute it to the whole city, so as to calm this matter down as soon as possible."

Hearing the words "she has a strong temper", Shen Yi's eyelids twitched, and he tried not to laugh out loud.

I don't know what kind of personality Gu Hengbo set up for himself in front of the emperor, so that His Majesty the Emperor would misunderstand her so much...

But it's not surprising, the two of them have probably slept together for two or three years now, and it's normal for them to fall in love with each other for a long time.

Even relatively speaking, other women in the palace, whether they are empresses or concubines, are considered "arranged marriages". Only this Gu Hengbo, who was chosen by the emperor himself, can be regarded as free love.

So it's not surprising that the emperor cared about Concubine Hui.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi looked at the emperor, bowed his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, if you want this matter to subside as soon as possible, then this matter must not be mentioned in the mansion newspaper."

"Inside and out of the palace, it should be treated as if this incident never happened."

"If you want to calm down the impact of this matter as soon as possible..."

"The best way is to cover up this matter with another more sensational matter."

"As long as another more sensational matter is written in the mansion newspaper, the matter of Concubine Hui, gradually no one will mention it anymore."

The emperor thought for a while, and said thoughtfully: "Shen Qing, you are the best at this kind of thing, so let Shen Qing do it for you. After writing the manuscript, you can contact Gao Ming."

Having said that, the emperor looked at the sky outside, stood up from the cushion, and stretched himself.

"It's getting late, I'm going back to the palace, lest the Queen Mother find out and blame me again."

He looked at Shen Yi: "Shen Qing should take the matter I told Shen Qing to heart and do it as soon as possible."

Shen Yi got up and nodded, and sent the emperor all the way out of the Shibazilou, watched the emperor get on a sedan chair, and then slowly disappeared from his sight.

"If this gave birth to a son..."

Master Shen stared at the direction where the emperor was going away, and muttered in a low voice.

"That would be fun..."
