marquis of jingan

Chapter 712 Rewards
With Zhang Jing's departure, the Yang Zhang era, which Hong De ruled for six full years, finally came to an end.

Although the emperor has basically fully grasped the main body of the government since the eighth year of Hongde, the influence of the two old men is still there, and with the departure of Zhang Jing, the so-called Zhang Party will collapse and never return. exist.

As for what will happen to the Yang Party that still exists now, everyone in Jiankang City is still waiting to see.

But this matter, even if only so far, is a good thing for Shen Yi.

Because the emperor did not hesitate to "separate" before, he just didn't want him to have contact with the Zhang party. Now that the Zhang party no longer exists, Shen Yi's personal relationship with the Zhang family or with Zhang Jian is naturally nothing.

Moreover, according to Zhang Jing, this time Shen Yi accidentally made contributions to the emperor.

It is naturally helpful to Master Shen's future.

On the day Zhang Jing left, Zhang Jian, who was still working in Taichang Temple, took a day off. In the afternoon of that day, the two of them drank all afternoon in Guiyun Building. In the evening, Zhang Jian took Master Shen to Qinhuai River to listen After listening to Qu'er, I didn't go home until very late.

It is worth mentioning that in the past two years, several new oirans have appeared in Qinhuai River, but unfortunately, no one is specialized in pipa anymore.

The Qinhuai pipa of that year has become a swan song.

So far on the Qinhuai River, people are still spreading the sound of Master Gu's pipa. Some people say that she was brought to the south by Xu Daguan and gave birth to a son, and some people say that she died in the south, but no one knows what exactly happened.

That night, Shen Yi didn't return home until it was completely dark. Because of drinking, he went to bed early.

It might be because of going to bed early, the next morning, it was rare for Master Shen not to sleep in, and he got up not long after dawn.

After having breakfast at home, Shen Heng went to work in the Imperial Academy, while Shen Yi stayed at home, had someone prepare a pen, ink and red paper, and began to write the Spring Festival couplets for this year's Spring Festival.

Lu Ruoxi personally brought over a stack of red paper, spread it on the table, and asked Shen Yi to teach Shen Yuan, the young master of the Shen family, to write.

At this time, Young Master Shen was already two years old, and Xu Sui was three years old.

After the red paper was spread out, Master Shen held his eldest son in his arms with one hand, and held his son's hand with the other hand, teaching him to write big characters stroke by stroke.

It's a pity that the three-year-old child couldn't hold the pen steadily. After Shen Yi taught him two characters, he put him aside.

He smiled at Lu Ruoxi and said: "This kid really doesn't have any talent, he's far worse than his father."

Lu Ruoxi glanced at Shen Yi with a complaining look, and said angrily: "How can you say that about your son? A few days ago, when Jiulang taught Yuan'er to write, he even praised Yuan'er for his talent."

Master Shen chuckled, dipped in the ink himself, and wrote the pen with concentration. The seven-character couplet was completed in one go and landed on the paper.

He touched his chin, smiled and said, "Look, madam, how about the word husband?"

Lu Ruoxi hugged the child, leaned over to take a closer look, and then commented: "It's not as profound as my father's, and it's not as neat as Jiulang's handwriting, but..."

She looked up at Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "However, the word Husband, compared to a few years ago, is much more vigorous, and looks extraordinarily imposing."

In the past few years, although Shen Yi's rank is not high, he has been on imperial missions outside, but he has been the "top leader" most of the time outside, and his power is so great that he can almost be said to be an imperial mission in Haijiang.

The so-called relocation of qi to nourish the body, after a long time, naturally it is not the same as the scholar-like Shen Yi in the past.

Master Shen smiled triumphantly, and said, "Naturally, as a husband, as long as you write the numbers in hand, you can adjust..."

Speaking of this, Master Shen's words came to an abrupt end.

He originally wanted to say that he could mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers and horses as long as he wrote a few words in hand.

This is indeed true, but it is too taboo.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down.

In front of his family, he was still too relaxed, forgetting that there might be guards by his side at any time!

Although it was unlikely that the inner guard would monitor him at his home, this habit of talking loudly was unacceptable, and he had to be cautious in his words and deeds no matter what.

The smooth sailing in his career made him unconsciously proud.

Lu Ruoxi glanced at her husband, and said with a soft smile: "Your husband can mobilize a few drops of ink as long as you write a few words in hand."

A smile appeared on Shen Yi's face again, and he said with a smile: "Madam doesn't know something, but there is a lot of knowledge in this ink."

Lu Ruoxi joked a few words with Shen Yi, then hugged the child in one hand, patted Shen Yi's back with the other hand, and said softly: "Husband, you should pay more attention outside, you are no longer an imperial envoy..."

"Ah."

Master Shen has already written several couplets of Spring Festival couplets at this moment, and he nodded in response when he heard the words: "It is indeed necessary to adjust my position."

It was almost noon at this moment, the couple put away the Spring Festival couplets written, and Lu Ruoxi's maid, Lian'er, ran over with small steps and called the two of them to have lunch.

Not long after Shen Yi sat down at the dinner table, and before he had eaten a few mouthfuls of food, a porter came to report that someone had come from the palace.

Master Shen got up, walked to the front yard, and saw a little eunuch coming over to preach that the emperor had summoned Shen Yi to the palace in the afternoon.

This way of sending a message is not considered an imperial decree, so there is no need for the whole family to come out and kneel down to greet him. After Shen Yi responded, the little eunuch turned around and left.

After the little eunuch left, Lu Ruoxi, who was standing next to Shen Yi, clung to Shen Yi's ear and whispered, "Husband, it's not what you said this morning..."

Master Shen couldn't help laughing: "There is no way that the whispers between us will reach the palace. Madam is too worried."

Only then did Lu Ruoxi nod her head. She looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Sir, should you change your official uniform now, or after dinner?"

"Let's talk about it after dinner. There should be no rush."

Although he didn't know what the emperor wanted him for, but the big boss asked him to meet him, of course he couldn't neglect it. After eating, Master Shen didn't even take a nap, so with the help of Lu Ruoxi, he changed into a fifth-rank official uniform.

If there is no accident, this should be the last time he wears a fifth-rank official uniform, because the people from the official department have come to measure the size, and in a few days, his fourth-rank scarlet official uniform should be ready .

Putting on his official uniform and getting on the carriage, Master Shen quickly entered the imperial city. Because of the "reservation", he basically didn't wait this time, and entered the Ganlu Hall smoothly.

However, when he arrived at the Ganlu Hall, he learned that the emperor was still taking a nap. As a last resort, Master Shen could only wait for another stick of incense in a side room of the Ganlu Hall.

When Shen Yi was already drowsy, only then did the little eunuch lead him into the main hall of Ganlu Hall, where he met His Majesty the Emperor.

At this time, the emperor was wearing a pure blue uniform, looking very casual, sitting on a soft couch and yawning.

Although it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, there are many stoves lit in the Ganlu Hall, which can be said to be as warm as spring.

Shen Yi stepped forward and was about to salute, when the emperor waved his hand lazily: "There's no need to salute, just sit and talk."

"Gao Ming, move him a stool."

Eunuch Gao immediately lowered his head, moved a small stool, and placed it behind Shen Yi.

Master Shen sat down cautiously, lowered his head slightly and said, "His Majesty Unknown summoned my servant..."

"Of course something happened."

The emperor gave Gao Ming a wink, and the eunuch Gao understood immediately, and waved his hand to screen off the palace servants.

Soon, the palace servants who were serving in Ganlu Palace retreated, and His Majesty the Emperor looked at Shen Yi, and said indifferently: "Shen Qing has handled Zhang Jing's affairs very well."

"I originally planned to use Hongde's 11 years to deal with this matter, but now it seems that it won't take so long."

Shen Yi quickly bowed his head and said: "This is all due to His Majesty's prestige, I...didn't do anything, dare not take credit for it..."

The emperor pouted.

Obviously dismissive of Shen Yi's statement.

He looked at Shen Yi, and said lightly: "I am a person who has always been rewarded and punished. It should be your credit. I will not ignore you. After all, do you want anything? As long as it is reasonable, I will agree to it." .”

The emperor paused, and continued: "However, it won't be possible to be promoted in a short period of time. Your position as a military officer is the result of a long-term quarrel between me and those old guys."

Shen Yi was silent for a while, then bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I do have a request..."

"Ah."

The emperor nodded: "Go ahead."

"At the beginning, I founded the Mansion News Agency. In the Mansion News Agency, I divided eight groups and scattered them in big cities all over Dachen. At that time, I promised that the team leaders would give them an official status in a few years..."

"Now, three years have passed..."

"The second group and the fourth group of the Dibao Division shined brilliantly in the southeast to suppress the Japanese, and made many contributions. Please give Duan Chong and Zheng Hu the same official status..."
