marquis of jingan

Chapter 697

When Shen Yi received the emperor's letter, he was in a very happy mood, because although he worked hard in the southeast, after all, the big boss gave him full support, and he could indeed do some practical things for the people. Full of energy.

But a letter from Zhang Jian at night wiped out his good mood.

The emperor actually wants to replace Zhu Gui at this moment!
Although Zhu Gui is indeed not a clean and good official, he is indeed a solid official. This can be seen from the submissiveness he has handled in Guangdong Province.

In Shen Yi's report to the emperor, he did mention that Zhu Gui was greedy for ink, but Shen Yi mentioned this matter in order to let the emperor empower the Shibo department and let the Shibo department have its own taxation, and did not replace Zhu Gui at all. the meaning of.

Because Guangdong has just pacified the Japanese pirates, the establishment of Guangzhou Wei and the Shibo Division requires a relatively stable officialdom. Now the best solution is naturally to reach a mutually satisfactory cooperation with Zhu Gui, rather than replacing Zhu Gui.

With a new governor coming over, it will take at least half a year or even a year for the transfer of power in Guangdong's officialdom to return to the current stable period. As for what the new governor will do when he takes over Guangdong...

No one can tell.

But Fujian is an example of overthrowing and starting over.

The reason why Cheng Tingzhi was able to push across Fujian was mainly due to the assistance of the Sanfa Department and the support of Fuzhou Wei. It is hard for anyone to say what the new governor of Guangdong will look like when he takes office.

Originally, it was nothing more than the emperor replacing Zhu Gui. Master Shen spent some time communicating with the new governor, and then spent some energy writing a letter to explain to Zhang Jing. Master Shen gritted his teeth and held his breath for a few more busy The month passed.

But Zhang Jian mentioned in the letter that the emperor summoned Zhang Jing...

As for the emperor's instigation of dissension, it cannot be written down, so Zhang Jian did not mention it in his heart, but he hinted in the letter that his grandfather had already confirmed that it was Shen Yi who wrote the letter to join Zhu Gui.

So what happened behind this is not difficult to guess at all.

From a rational point of view, Shen Yi can understand that the emperor's operation is nothing more than wanting to be a professional tool for him.

There shouldn't be any other thoughts in the tool man's mind.

Therefore, as a tool person, I should be a lonely minister. It is best to be disgusted by people in the court and not deal with anyone.

In this way, the emperor can use it smoothly and use it with confidence.

Shen Yi, on the other hand, hated the feeling of being teased by others at will.

No matter whether he will be a lone minister or not in the future, it should be his choice, Shen Yi.

At the very least, the emperor, you should discuss it with him.

Talk about the conditions, and give a price that will make Master Shen's heart beat.

And the emperor, like now, stabbed him in the back without even saying hello. Master Shen was naturally upset.

In fact, if Shen Yi was a native of the Chen country and didn't have any whimsical ideas from another world in his mind, then he had been instilled with the idea of ​​being loyal to the king and serving the country since he was a child, and this time he might have gritted his teeth and endured it.

Reasons to comfort yourself are also easy to find.

For the economic and people's livelihood of Guangdong.

At that time, endure the grievances and finish the matter in Guangdong, and return to Jiankang to see the emperor. The emperor asked, "Is there a grievance?" passed.

But the current Master Shen can't stand this kind of grievance.

love whoever!
Not to mention whether the Shibo Department will become a bad government, whether it will affect the economy and people's livelihood of Guangdong and the income of the court, taking a step back, even if it does affect it, it has nothing to do with Shen Yi?
Firstly, he is not an official in Guangdong, and secondly, the money earned by the Shibo Department will not fall into Shen Yi's pocket.

So Master Shen resolutely got into his carriage and ran away.

He didn't even go back to Guangzhou Mansion, and didn't go to say hello to Zhu Gui.

And to be honest, although Zhu Gui has a bad official reputation and is greedy and lustful, he attaches great importance to the so-called "factions". At least after Shen Yi published the letter, Governor Zhu would give Shen Yi [-]% of his income without saying a word.

Very honest.

After Master Shen arrived in Guangzhou Mansion, he didn't bring him any presents, and now he might have lost his job, so he was naturally embarrassed to see Zhu Gui again at this moment.

simply.

Go back to Fuzhou and put it badly.

It's still early autumn, and I'll go back to Fuzhou to live for three months, and when the Chinese New Year is approaching at the end of the year, I'll pat my ass back to Jiankang to pay the decree, and this errand will be considered complete.

As for whether he will offend the emperor and affect his future...

Master Shen was very open about this point.

If the emperor really annoyed Shen Yi because of this incident, and would no longer reuse him, then the great Chen emperor would also have a limited mind, and it would be basically impossible to complete Hongde Zhongxing.

The Northern Expedition was also wishful thinking.

If that's the case, Master Shen just lay flat, and he can plan a way out for himself.

…………

The inner guards had been following Shen Yi closely all along, and it wasn't just one or two people, it was the entire school lieutenant battalion, that is, a hundred people.

Although there are shifts in this school captain's battalion and some people will take a break, there are basically 30 to [-] internal guards who usually follow Shen Yi's side.

These inner guards can certainly protect Shen Yi, but at the same time monitor Shen Yi's every move. The fastest speed sent to Jiankang.

Guangzhou Mansion is [-] miles away from Fuzhou Mansion, and Shen Yi was walking slowly in a carriage, so while he was still on the way, the news of the inner guard had already been delivered to Gao Ming.

The "reply letter" written by Shen Yi to the emperor, or the memorial to the emperor, was sent to Jiankang at about the same time and placed on the desk of the eunuch Gao.

After Gao Ming heard the news, his face became weird.

He looked at the letter sent back by Shen Yi in his hand again. After hesitating for a while, he still didn't open it. Instead, he stood up from his seat, looked at the little eunuch who was waiting beside him, and asked, "What is Your Majesty doing now?" Where is it, in Ganlu Hall or in Zhaode Palace?"

The little eunuch bowed his head respectfully and said: "Godfather, Long Live is now in Deqing Palace."

Gao Ming nodded, and asked again: "Is there any minister in Deqing Palace?"

The little eunuch shook his head and said: "Go back to godfather, long live... I carried the dragon son into the Deqing Palace, and now I am accompanying the concubine Hui in the Deqing Palace..."

Hearing this sentence, Eunuch Gao couldn't stop frowning.

Deqing Palace is the emperor's bedroom...

He stood up silently and glanced at the little eunuch beside him.

"If you pass on my words, no one is allowed to chew their tongues. If someone spreads it to the empress's ears, our family will know..."

Eunuch Gao's eyes were sharp: "Just beat him to death."

The little eunuch trembled in fright, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Go back to godfather, son knows, son will give orders now."

"Ah."

Eunuch Gao nodded slowly, then got up and left the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and walked all the way towards Deqing Palace. He is the chief steward of the inner court, so it is easy to enter Deqing Palace. Not long after, he was in Deqing Palace. It was His Majesty the Emperor who was sitting on a soft bed with the prince in his arms and playing.

Concubine Hui was sitting on the side, tending to the embroidery in her hands. The family of three was extremely harmonious.

Gao Ming hesitated for a moment, but still walked over, knelt down in front of the emperor, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, there is a secret letter from Bachelor Shen."

Only then did the emperor look away from his son and landed on the letter in Gao Ming's hand. He waved to Concubine Hui, and Concubine Hui immediately came over to hug the eldest son. The emperor got up, stretched his waist and yawned: " It’s really rare to have half a day of leisure.”

Although complaining, the emperor still waved to Gao Ming: "Send it up, I'll see what Shen Qi said."

Eunuch Gao lowered his head and held up the secret letter in his hand. After the emperor opened the secret letter, he only glanced at it, then threw it aside, pouted.

"Hundreds of eloquent words are all empty words, and the summary is nothing more than the four words of Emperor Shengming."

The emperor yawned: "Since when is Shen Qi so boring?"

"There is no need to answer this letter."

Eunuch Gao glanced at Concubine Hui's mother and son who were nearby, then silently stepped forward, stood beside the emperor, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, Bachelor Shen..."

"It seems to be leaving Guangdong and going back to Fuzhou..."

Eunuch Gao's voice was very low.

"The inner guard reported that he is already on his way out of Guangdong."

The emperor was taken aback and asked, "What happened in Fujian?"

Gao Ming shook his head: "I haven't heard of this..."

"That…"

The emperor only said one word, then paused, his brows furrowed involuntarily: "Then what does he mean?"

Eunuch Gao stood with his hands down, without saying a word.

The emperor frowned again.

"Let's pick someone up? Give me a face?"

Eunuch Gao still dared not speak.

The emperor slapped the table hard, furious.

"It's against him!"

When the emperor got angry, the concubine Hui, mother and son beside him were very frightened, the emperor managed to suppress his anger, smiled at the mother and son, then gritted his teeth and said, "If I don't finish the errands in the southeast, let him sink seven Stay in the southeast forever!"

Gao Ming was silent for a while, and reminded: "Your Majesty, the Guangzhou Guard is almost full. We only need to wait for the camp to be completed. As for the Guangzhou Shipyard..."

"According to Sun Jin's previous report."

"After he finishes handling Quanzhou Shipping Department this month, he will leave for Guangzhou."

What Gao Ming meant was that Southeast's errands were not delayed.

The emperor raised his eyebrows and was about to speak when Concubine Hui walked up behind the emperor. While giving the emperor a massage, she asked softly, "What is it that made your majesty so angry?"

"fine."

The emperor closed his eyes, held back his anger, took several deep breaths, then slowly opened his eyes, and choked out a word.

"The horse is too strong."
