Chapter 642 The horse steps on Yanjing!

Shen Yi wanted to kill Zhou Yuanchui.

This is not an easy task.

Because although the missions of the Northern Qi Dynasty are not manned in the city, there are one or two hundred Qi soldiers escorting them along the way. , The regiment wiped out the two hundred Qi soldiers.

He also wanted to kill all the missions in the Northern Qi Dynasty.

That's how things got bigger.

Between the two countries, swordsmen may stand up.

But doing this kind of thing is actually impossible to hide from the emperor, and even Xue Wei and others went to Jiankang, the emperor may already know by now.

If things get serious, it won't end well.

Because once a fight broke out, if Chen Guo's battle on the front line went well, then everything would be fine, but if the battle didn't go well, the emperor would definitely blame Shen Yi.

Because Shen Yi single-handedly provoked this war that Chen Guo was not fully prepared for.

Shen Yi didn't think that the little affection between himself and the emperor could play any role.

Therefore, Shen Yi needed to kill Zhou Yuanchui with precision.

Then there are only two places to kill him.

One was that in Jiankang City, the Northern Qi mission had no military support, so they could kill him with a little tricks and a few professional people.

Another place is on the Huaihe River.

The empress dowager's birthday is the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, which is the day after the Shangyuan Festival. After these Northern Qi envoys celebrate their birthdays, they have no reason to stay in Jiankang. They will go all the way northward, cross the Huaihe River and return to Northern Qi territory.

Most of these Qi people can't swim.

As long as there are some people who are good enough in water and quick enough in their hands, it is possible to kill this fellow on the Huai River.

Xue Wei looked up at Shen Yi, his eyes were full of excitement.

"Misfortune and fortune are integrated", it means that Xue Wei has been completely bound to Master Shen from now on, and has become a member of the "Shen family".

In the future, Master Shen will grow bigger in the court, and may develop into a "Shen Party"!
And he, Xue Wei, will be the group of veterans with the highest status in this interest group!
More importantly, with this level of relationship with Shen Yi, Xue Wei's future will not be too bad when the southeast coastal capital is established this year.

Without hesitation, he half-kneeled in front of Shen Yi again, bowed his head deeply and said: "As long as I can do something for Mr. Shen, my subordinates will go through fire and water, and I will do anything!"

"Well."

Shen Yi reached out and knocked on the table, and said in a deep voice: "This person lives in the guild hall of the Ministry of Rites. In the past few days, I will have someone take you to recognize him. After you recognize him, you will take your brothers to the north..."

"The Huaishui River is the border between the two countries. The situation there is complicated. I will give you a sum of money to open a road there. You spend the money to get a few small boats there. When the time comes, try to scuttle the big boat of the Northern Qi Mission, and wait for those people After falling into the water, you sail to rescue and find Zhou Yuanchui..."

Master Shen narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Do you understand what I mean?"

"clear."

Xue Wei patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, the subordinates will definitely finish this matter for you."

Shen Yi took a deep breath and said, "If you can kill him, kill him immediately. If you can't kill him, you should scare him so that he will remember you forever."

"also……"

"Both countries have troops stationed near the Huai River. You only have the one chance after the sinking of the Northern Qi mission."

"There are troops on both sides. If they miss a hit, they will immediately flee and flee to the south."

Shen Yi took a deep breath, and said: "You can be caught by the local government, but you can't be caught by the Huaihe Navy, do you understand?"

"Subordinates obey!"

Xue Wei got up abruptly, and clasped his fists at Shen Yi: "The subordinates will make arrangements immediately!"

"Arrange a fart."

Shen Yi rolled his eyes at this guy, and said angrily: "It's snowing heavily, it's so late, what are you going to arrange?"

"We'll wait until tomorrow to do everything."

"I'll ask Jiang Sheng to take you to the side room to rest, and then ask the family to boil a pot of hot water for you. After you wash up, take a nap and have a good rest."

After all, Shen Yi asked Jiang Sheng to take Xue Wei down to rest, and at the same time asked the maids at home to prepare some meals for Xue Wei.

After sending Xue Wei out of his study room, Master Shen paced back to his chair and sat down. He glanced at the press release he had written on the paper, frowned slightly, and then rolled the draft into a He took out the waste paper and threw it into the wastebasket beside him.

He took a new piece of paper and put it in front of him. After thinking for a while, he picked up a pen and wrote two lines on the paper.

"Peace the Japanese pirates, the Holy Son of Heaven manages the southeast!"

"Looking at Northern Qi, Northern Tatar horses stepping on Yanjing!"

The title is very easy to understand.

It's just that there are true and false.

The above half sentence is naturally true, but the bottom half sentence...

It can only be said that it is not completely true.

Throughout the nine years of Hongde, there were indeed several wars between the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Tatars further north.

The Qi people in the Northern Dynasties are a branch of the Jurchen tribe, while the Tatars further north are the "fragments" left by the Mongol Empire. The two sides had some feuds, and now the Tatars have unified the nearby tribes and gradually grown. The conflict has intensified in recent years.

Of course, after the Northern Qi entered the customs, although the high-level officials quickly corrupted, and there were no more Northern Qi cavalry that swept the world 60 years ago, but after all, the skeleton was big, and in the war with the Tatars, it could only be said that there were victories and losses.

It is far from the level of horse stepping on Yandu.

Therefore, the second half of the manuscript was "slightly exaggerated" by Shen Yi based on the situation in Northern Qi.

After having an idea, Master Shen could write the article much more smoothly. After spending one night, he basically finished writing an article.

The next day, on the morning of the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Shen Yi took the manuscript that had been urged for several days into the palace. The Ministry of Internal Affairs met Eunuch Gao and handed over his manuscript.

Gao Ming took the manuscript and did not read it directly, but looked at Shen Yi, and said indifferently: "Scholar Shen's article this time has been delayed for several days, and even His Majesty has asked him several times, but he is not as diligent as before. gone."

Master Shen looked serious, and cupped his hands and said: "Gao Gonggong, this article was written with painstaking efforts by the lower official, and there are still several waste manuscripts at home. Naturally, the lower official will not dare to slack off on what His Majesty has explained."

Eunuch Gao chuckled, and said: "Our family will hand over this article right now. Bachelor Shen, please don't leave, and sit in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a while. His Majesty may summon you later."

Shen Yi nodded honestly.

After Eunuch Gao left the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he sat in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and drank tea. After about a cup of tea, a young eunuch came over and led him to the Ganlu Hall, where he met His Majesty the Emperor in winter clothes.

The emperor was sitting on the soft couch, still reading Shen Yi's article. Seeing Shen Yi walking in, before Shen Yi could salute, His Majesty the Emperor waved to Shen Yi: "Come here."

Shen Yi took a few steps closer, saluted and said, "Your Majesty."

The emperor shook the article in his hand, and looked up at Shen Yi: "Why didn't I know that the Tatar horse stepped on Yanjing?"

"The minister didn't say that the Tatar horse stepped on Yanjing."

Master Shen blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "I just said that the Tatars are fierce, and they might want to step on Yanjing."

The emperor scolded with a smile.

"Sneaky."

"You are also a two-ranked Jinshi with a background in sage books, how can you be so treacherous?"

Master Shen shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is not treachery."

"Except for the slightly exaggerated title of this article, the content of this article can be said to be true. Printing it out will not only cover up the matter of Concubine Hui, but also boost the morale of the army and the people..."

Shen Yi wanted to continue talking, but the emperor gave him a blank look and interrupted him.

"You can still let the world see your contribution, Shen Qi, in the southeast, can't you?"

Shen Yi lowered his head and smiled, but didn't answer.

The emperor glanced at eunuch Gao, and said calmly: "Gao Ming, take it down, and publish it in the mansion newspaper as soon as possible."

Eunuch Gao bowed his head respectfully, took the article written by Shen Yi, and went down to do business.

After Eunuch Gao left, the emperor looked at Shen Yi and said with emotion: "When I was young, the first emperor taught me that the pen of history is like a knife."

"I was young at the time, so I didn't think so."

"I feel that those scholars are just recorders. As long as I am upright, how can they hurt people with knives and pens?"

"Now that I read Shen Qing's article, I suddenly realized..."

The emperor's eyes dimmed.

"The same thing, written by different people, is very different."

　I thought about the title of this mansion newspaper for three or four hours. I was dreaming about how to write it. It was too difficult...
