marquis of jingan

Chapter 769
I don't know how long after General Zhao left, Shen Yi was still in a trance when the emperor's voice sounded in his ears.

His Majesty's tone was lazy, he yawned and said, "Okay, Zhao Lu is gone, Shen Qing, please sit down and talk too, we monarchs and ministers still have a lot of things to talk about."

Hearing this, Shen Yi nodded silently, then walked to the small stool and sat down, raised his head silently, and glanced at the emperor.

Seeing Shen Yi's expression, the emperor was thoughtful, then coughed, and said: "It is very important to guard the Huaihe River this time..."

After a pause, the emperor continued: "According to the information sent by the inner guards in the north, the people of Qi have indeed changed frequently recently, and..."

He looked at Shen Yi, and said: "And last time, Shen Qing, after you beat that Qi man Zhu Man, the Northern Qi court was indeed a little angry."

"In Yandu City, the sound of horses stepping south has become louder and louder."

Hearing this sentence, Shen Yi felt a little helpless.

He beat Zhu Man entirely because he wanted to vent his anger on the emperor.

Moreover, the reason why the people of Qi were angry was obviously not because Shen Yi had beaten the envoys of Northern Qi, but because Nan Chen was unwilling to pay the "year-old tribute" to Northern Qi.

But in front of the boss, you can't say this kind of blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah. Master Shen just sat there silently without saying a word.

After the emperor talked about the information about Northern Qi, he gave his own conclusion. He said in a deep voice, "According to the information of the inner guards, the possibility of the Qi people attacking the Huaihe River this year is very high, even if they don't go all out. The national war will also be a big war."

"After all, these Qi people are used to being arrogant."

Having said that, the emperor snorted a little in displeasure.

"If you're used to being arrogant, you won't be able to stand being wronged."

He looked at Shen Yi and continued: "If they want to fight, the Huaihe defense line will definitely be hit. Whether the coastal capital can hold a section of the Huaihe defense line will not affect the overall situation of the battle, but it is extremely important for you and my monarchs. "

The emperor paused, looked at Shen Yi, and said in a deep voice: "If the coastal capital can fight well, then no matter what I want to do in the future, the civil servants in the court will have nothing to say."

The original intention of the Coastal Capital Division was to replace the Huaihe Navy or a part of the Huaihe Navy one day.

This time, it was an exam for the coastal capital. If he passed the exam, the emperor could use it as he wanted, but if he "failed" the exam, or even got into a big mess, then the future of the coastal capital was in jeopardy.

Shen Yi nodded to show that he understood. He looked up at the emperor, sighed slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, the coastal capital has been chasing and suppressing Japanese pirates for the past few years. ...Definitely not weak."

"If [-] coastal capitals are used to replace the [-] Huaihe Navy's defense line, in my heart, I am at least [-]% sure that there will be no problem with Qiren, but if the Huaihe Navy wants to do something bad in the dark..."

The Huaihe navy has been in Yanhuai for so many years, and its foundation is so deep that it cannot be added. Moreover, they know the defense line along the Huaihe River best, not to mention whether they will be able to communicate with each other. , arrange a dangerous river section, or deliberately leak the details of the coastal capital, or stand still when the enemy attacks...

Then the situation of the [-] people in the coastal capital may not be very good.

When that time really comes, it will be a great test for the coastal capital.

"Shen Qing, don't worry."

The emperor looked calm, and said: "My eyes will always be on the banks of the Huaihe River. As long as the coastal capital is strong enough to resist the Qi people, I will help you solve other things."

"If the Huaihe Navy really refused to support you after you encountered a large group of enemies."

The emperor snorted and said in a low voice, "I no longer have any scruples about what to do."

The two monarchs and ministers stayed in the Deqing Palace for a full hour. When the sun was setting in the west and it was almost evening in the afternoon, Shen Yi bid farewell and left, ready to go home to rest.

Before parting, Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, if I go to preside over the Coastal Capital Division, then before I leave, I would like to meet the two current commanders of the Coastal Capital Division in Songjiang Mansion."

The emperor nodded with a smile, and said, "That's no problem, you just write to them and ask them to come to Jiankang."

Speaking of this, the emperor paused, and said: "This time, I originally wanted you to command the coastal capital as the commander of the capital, but this official position is a military officer after all. It is unlikely to agree, but this time, Shen Qing, you can only go to the coastal capital to supervise the army as an imperial envoy."

For this point, Shen Yi is very understandable.

because…

Because Commander Tongzhi is not only a military officer, but also a second-rank military officer!
Not to mention that Shen Yi, a civil servant, is not very suitable for the position of military officer. In terms of this level alone, it is difficult for Shen Yi to be promoted to the fourth-rank officer now.

If he can be promoted, the official system of the imperial court will be "chaos".

When the official system is in chaos, people's hearts are also in chaos.

There are some rules, although the emperor made them, but the emperor himself also needs to abide by these rules, and is restricted within the rules.

Shen Yi bowed his head respectfully, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, as long as you can do things for the court, you don't care about your official rank..."

"it is good."

Hearing this sentence, the emperor himself was also a little moved. He patted Shen Yi on the shoulder, sighed slightly, and said, "If all the officials in the court were thinking of Shen Qing, I, Da Chen, would have been rejuvenated a long time ago. .”

After the two of them had a few words on the scene, Master Shen left Deqing Palace. Although His Majesty did not see him off in person, he asked the eunuch Gao Ming to send Shen Yi out.

Eunuch Gao sent Shen Yi out of Deqing Palace all the way. Master Shen stopped at the gate of the palace, turned his head and smiled at Gao Ming and said, "Eunuch Gao stop, just send it here."

Gao Ming nodded first. He was about to turn around when he suddenly remembered something. He looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Master Shen, is our nephew married?"

Shen Yi was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, and said, "Not yet, but he already has a sweetheart, and it is estimated that he will get married within this year."

"Well."

Gao Ming nodded and said, "That's a good thing."

After hesitating for a moment, he continued: "Our family is busy with things these days, and it's not easy to go out of the palace. After Mr. Shen sees our nephew, he will tell him for our family that if he is not in a hurry to get married , our family can find a marriage for him."

Master Shen was thoughtful and asked, "What marriage?"

"The granddaughter of a six servants."

Eunuch Gao's tone was calm, but the content of his words was quite explosive!

You know, the third-rank servant is already a serious boss of the imperial court. Would this kind of boss be willing to let Xu Fu become his grandson-in-law?

Shen Yi thought for a while and asked, "Eunuch Gao, let me ask for Xu Fu."

"why?"

"Because his errand in Liulichang has been done very well, His Majesty is very satisfied."

Gao Ming looked calm, and said quietly: "Your Majesty is satisfied, and our family is naturally also very satisfied. We just want to find a better background for this nephew of our family."

The emergence of Liulichang made Gao Ming's position of chief eunuch, which was somewhat unsafe, inexplicably more secure.

Therefore, the head of the inner court took the initiative to give benefits to Xu Fu.

This is also selling to Shen Yi.

Shen Yi nodded slightly and said with a smile.

"Okay, after seeing Xu Fu, the next official will tell him."

"Ah."

Eunuch Gao smiled: "It doesn't matter if he refuses, it's better to marry the original woman."

The eunuch turned around silently and said.

"When he got married, it would be bad if he didn't dislike our elder status as an elder in our family."

"Just send a message to the palace."
