marquis of jingan

After writing a letter, Shen Yi couldn't take it any longer. After asking Jiang Sheng to send it out, he went back to his bedroom to rest.

In the next few days, Shen Yi has been recuperating at his residence honestly. Fortunately, the medicine prescribed by the doctor is still effective. After taking the medicine for three days, Master Shen's appetite has basically recovered, and his spirit has also recovered a lot.

At this time, Xue Wei also sent someone to send a message back, telling Shen Yi that they found a suitable place to camp in Xin'an County under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Mansion.

Xin'an County, also known as Bao'an County, is a county under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Prefecture, and its geographical location is close to the sea.

The two super cities in another world are both located in Xin'an County.

Of course, the current Xin'an County is still an ordinary small county town. Except for a few wharves and ports that go to sea, the rest are fishermen who make a living by fishing.

After receiving Xue Wei's letter, Shen Yi, whose health has improved greatly, remembered his old friend in Renzhi County, Xin'an County, so he became very excited and asked Jiang Sheng to leave Guangzhou Mansion in a carriage and head for Xin'an County.

Xin'an County is more than 200 miles away from Guangzhou City. It takes about two or three days to get to Xin'an by horse-drawn carriage. Fortunately, Shen Yi has plenty of time now, and he just needs to avoid Zhu Gui, so he used In three days, I slowly arrived in Xin'an.

Xue Wei and others were already waiting for Shen Yi in Xin'an County. After seeing Shen Yi's carriage, Xue Wei immediately went up to meet him. After welcoming Shen Yi off the carriage, Xue Wei followed behind Shen Yi, bowed his head slightly and said, "Mr. Xin'an County is where our anti-Japanese army was stationed in Guangzhou to suppress the Japanese. Before that, many Japanese pirates were entrenched in the many islands off the coast of Xin'an County, and it took several months for the subordinates to clean them up one by one."

Master Shen nodded slightly, and after a "hmm", he said, "This is not suitable for the Guangzhou Guard."

Xue Wei was taken aback, and asked: "Mr. Shen, why is this?"

"This place is more suitable for hiding bandits, but it is not suitable for the Guangzhou Guard Camp."

The islands mentioned by Xue Wei are actually the Hong Kong Islands in another world. If it is Xiangjiang in another world, it is naturally suitable for stationing troops here, but the county seat of Xin'an County is actually in Pengcheng in another world, and Most of the outer islands are uninhabited desert islands.

The fundamental purpose of Guangzhou Guard's existence is to defend the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Shipping.

The Guangzhou Shipping Department needs to control the mouth of the Pearl River, so it is absolutely impossible to build it here.

Master Shen followed Xue Wei and walked along the seashore for half an hour, then looked back at Xue Wei, and said, "Guangzhou Wei Daying is not suitable for Xin'an, it needs to be near the mouth of the Pearl River, but it is very suitable for hiding bandits. Kou, when the time comes, you can send one or two battalions of thousands of households to station in Xin'an, in case something happens here."

Xue Wei nodded first, then looked at Shen Yi, bowed his head and said, "Mr. Shen, since this place is not suitable for the Guangzhou Guard, you still ran all the way here..."

"I came to Xin'an, not for the Guangzhou Guard's residence."

Master Shen smiled and said: "Firstly, I came here to hide for a few days, and secondly, I came here to visit old friends."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi paused, and said: "After coming out of Guangzhou City, I took a look along the estuary of the Pearl River. At the estuary of the Pearl River, there is a Seagull Island. It should be more suitable for the construction of the Guangzhou Shipbuilding Department. You If you are free these few days, you can ride a horse and take a look.”

The location of Seagull Island is similar to that of Langqi Island in Fuzhou Prefecture. One can control the estuary of the Minjiang River, and the other can control the estuary of the Pearl River.

Xue Wei nodded, bowed his head and said, "My subordinates will rush to have a look tomorrow."

Having said that, he looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Then Mr. Shen, are you going to Xin'an County today?"

"Yes."

Shen Yi smiled and said, "Go and see my old friend."

The so-called "three sameness" refers to students born in the same year, Jinshi in the same list, and the same position in the pavilion.

Although Shen Yi and Sun Li, the magistrate of Xin'an County, were not born in the same year and did not study together in the Imperial Academy, apart from being Jinshi on the same list, the two are also from the same hometown and classmate, which can be regarded as another kind of "Three Sameness".

Shen Yi and others were not far from Xin'an County, and entered the city before evening. After entering the city, Shen Yi, accompanied by Xue Wei and others, went straight to Xin'an County Yamen. Master Shen waved his hand to stop him, shook his head slightly and said, "Just go and report that Jiangdu Shen Yi has come to visit an old friend."

Xue Wei immediately lowered his head when he heard the words, and went to the gate of the county government office to report.

Not long after the announcement, Sun Li, the magistrate of Xin'an County, who was wearing a seventh-grade green official uniform, came out in a hurry. After seeing Shen Yi, he wiped his eyes first, and then trotted over hurriedly, grabbing Shen Yi's sleeve , surprises and surprises.

"I just heard the report from the people below. I almost thought I heard it wrong. I never thought it was really Ziheng!"

He spoke Jiangdu dialect.

Shen Yi also replied to him in Jiangdu dialect, and said with a smile: "It has been several days since I arrived in Guangzhou, and I should have come to visit Brother Jisheng long ago, but after arriving in Guangdong, I was not acclimatized and was sick for several days, so it was delayed." .”

Sun Li, whose name is Jisheng.

This character does not seem to match his name, but he has the same name as Kong Li, the son of Kong Shengren, so the word Jisheng is quite reasonable.

Hearing the long-lost Jiangdu accent, Sun Zhixian only felt his nose sore. He pulled Shen Yi's sleeve, and his eyes were almost red.

"Since Ziheng is here, he has to stay in Xin'an for a few more days. Brother Yu treats you well."

Sun Zhixian said with emotion: "You don't know how long I haven't heard Jiangdu dialect."

"The people in Guangzhou Mansion talk, Brother Yu basically relies on guesswork..."

Sun Zhixian shook his head, as if he had endless words to say to Shen Yi.

Master Shen smiled and nodded: "I want to bother senior brother for a while longer in Xin'an."

He was in Xin'an, and he came here to hide from the governor in Guangzhou.

Secondly, I have to wait for someone from Jiankang to write back to him.

…………

While Mr. Shen was eating seafood in Xin'an County, the letter he wrote seven days ago was finally sent to Jiankang by the inner guard six hundred miles.

This letter did not go through the imperial court, but was sent directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and His Majesty the Emperor through a secret letter.

At this time, His Majesty the Emperor was in Zhaode Palace, talking to Concubine Hui, and Eunuch Gao came to His Majesty the Emperor holding the letter from Shen Yi.

After the emperor saw Gao Ming, he put the eldest son in his arms into the hands of Concubine Hui, then he stood up and came to Gao Ming, frowning slightly: "It's rare for me to come to Zhaode Palace once, what's the matter, I can't wait Let me go back to Ganlu Palace and talk about it again?"

Gao Ming bowed his head again and said, "A secret letter from the Guangzhou Mansion from Bachelor Shen."

Only then did the emperor stretch his brows, and took the letter from Gao Ming. After opening it, there were three sheets of letter paper in the envelope.

After only glancing at the first letter paper, His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help frowning: "What's the matter with Shen Qi? His handwriting is all crooked. Fortunately, he is still one of the two candidates selected by me!"

Eunuch Gao lowered his head and said, "According to the internal guard's report, when writing this letter, Xueshi Shen seems to be ill, and the illness is not serious."

The emperor didn't pursue it, but silently read the three letters carefully, especially after reading the second letter, he couldn't help but read it again, and asked: "Gao Ming, I remember that the governor of Guangdong Zhu Gui, it seems to belong to Zhang Jing..."

Gao Ming bowed his head and said, "It's Zhang Xiang's disciple."

The emperor stroked his chin, thoughtful.

"That would be interesting."

After saying this, the emperor continued to read, and after reading all the letters, His Majesty the Emperor murmured: "I want the Municipal Bureau to announce the tax amount, I want the local yamen not to interfere in the affairs of the Municipal Bureau, and I want five of the subordinates of the Coastal Metropolitan Division to report the tax amount." Wei, has the right to arrest smugglers..."

The emperor said to himself: "There are quite a lot of things I want, I don't know what happened to Shen Qi in Guangdong."

Speaking of this, the emperor looked at the eunuch Gao, and said slowly: "Gao Ming, go and sort out Zhu Gui's information, and put it in the Ganlu Hall later, I want to see it tonight."

Eunuch Gao lowered his head and said, "Your servant obeys."

His Majesty the Emperor stretched his waist, and said: "This afternoon, I will accompany my eldest son in Zhaode Palace. If there is nothing else, please don't bother me any more."

Eunuch Gao bowed his head again, then retreated respectfully.

And His Majesty the Emperor returned to the Ganlu Palace again, and took over his eldest son from the concubine. He stretched out his hand and pinched the child's nose, and said with a smile: "My concubine, I have thought about the child's name." It's been a few months and I just got some ideas today."

Concubine Hui's eyes shifted, and she said softly: "I thought His Majesty had forgotten..."

"How can I forget this?"

The emperor smiled and said, "It's just that I've been hesitating."

"How about calling him Li Wang?"

Concubine Hui blinked her eyes and asked, "Which look?"

"Looking north."

Hearing this answer, Concubine Hui laughed softly: "I thought Your Majesty wanted to name this child a double character."

"The complex character is too big and heavy, I'm afraid it will make him unable to grow up."

The emperor's tone was gentle, and he said softly, "Just call me Li Wang."

Concubine Hui nodded lightly, and then asked: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Gao came to you just now. Is there any political matter to deal with? If there is an urgent government matter, Your Majesty should hurry up and deal with it, lest people say that my concubine is hindering state affairs."

"It's nothing particularly important."

While teasing his son, the emperor said casually: "It's Shen Qi who wrote a letter to me from the south."

"Shen Qi...Young Master Shen..."

Concubine Hui's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked softly: "Your Majesty, Mr. Shen should be able to return to Jiankang this year, right?"

"It's time to come back."

The emperor pinched the eldest son's nose and smiled.

"If he doesn't come back, I'm really worried..."
