marquis of jingan

Chapter 772 The focus is on connections!
It is not easy to fool these old guys in the court.

Even the top-level temptation of being famous in history did not make Jiang Jian lose his mind. The old man stroked the beard on his chin, glanced at Shen Yi, and said, "That's as long as you don't have any problems."

"You 2 people, if someone tricks you, you will lose a lot."

Jiang Shangshu sighed faintly: "The family property that the Ministry of War has managed to save will be gone. At that time, not only will it be angry from above, but it may also be angry from below."

Shen Yi looked calm, and said: "Tang Zun, you are Da Jiuqing, you know the way of the court better than the lower officials, you should know in your heart better than anyone else, how did the coastal capital get here, this time the coastal capital guards the Huaihe River, Whose idea was it?"

If you can't draw cakes and pictures, you can only pretend to be a tiger.

Shen Yi whispered: "The coastal capital will not lose, and His Majesty will not allow it..."

"All right."

Jiang Shangshu frowned and said, "Don't go on talking."

"You are too young Ziheng."

Jiang Jian patted Shen Yi's shoulder and said, "I'm too anxious."

"Some things you know in your heart are fine, but you can't say them out, let alone say them to others."

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled dumbly: "Thank you Tang Zun for your concern, but this matter..."

"It's already related to the future of the next official."

"So at this time, I have to be anxious, and I can't take care of so many things. Some things should be said as an official."

Shen Yi took two steps back, slightly lowered his head and clasped his hands, and said, "I also ask Tang Zun, don't hesitate to help me!"

Jiang Jian sighed faintly, shook her head and said, "That's all, for Zi Heng's words, I will give you an answer after two days of careful consideration, but now I can agree to you."

"At least [-] horses, [-] suits of armor, and [-] bows and crossbows."

Shen Yi took a deep breath, bowed his head deeply and cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you Tang Zun, sir."

"This trip has achieved something, I must come back to thank Tang Zun for his great kindness."

Jiang Jian stepped forward with a smile, helped him up, and said, "You are welcome, you and I are colleagues in the same yamen, in the future..."

"Maybe we have to take care of each other."

After staying in the Ministry of War for an hour, Shen Yi left the Yamen of the Ministry of War. It was almost noon now, and after hesitating for a while, Shen Yi went to the Ministry of Households again.

He was wearing a crimson official uniform that symbolized the fourth grade. Naturally, no petty official dared to stop him. After revealing his identity, Zhang Jian, who was a foreigner in the household department, quickly ran out all the way to meet him.

Seeing Shen Yi's serious face, Zhang Jian lost his mind about joking, coughed, and asked, "Are you here to see the teacher?"

Shen Yi nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, please brother lead the way."

Zhang Jian nodded, and led Shen Yi all the way to the door of Zhao Shangshu's private room. After knocking on the door, he lowered his head slightly and said, "Teacher, Ziheng is here."

Zhao Changping's calm voice came from inside: "Come in."

After seeing Zhao Changping, Shen Yi bowed his head slightly, bowed his hands and saluted: "Master."

Zhao Changping put down the brush in his hand, rubbed the center of his brows, and said, "Don't worry, the household department will give priority to supplying the coastal capital's money, food, supplies, medicinal materials, and clothing."

He looked at Shen Yi and said, "I promise you, you won't be hungry or cold."

Shen Yi didn't answer, but bowed silently, and said, "Thank you, Master."

Zhao Changping sighed, looked at Shen Yi, and said, "It seems that Ziheng wants to fight."

Master Shen got up, smiled helplessly and said: "Master, now that things are going on, I can't help my nephew giving up."

"The first thing is to defend the Huaihe River."

He said slowly, "After we gain a firm foothold by the Huaihe River, we might be able to do more things!"

Zhao Changping was silent for a while, then shook his head somewhat disappointedly, and sighed.

"It's nice to be young."

...............

After leaving the household department, Shen Yi went to the palace again and met eunuch Gao.

From the eunuch Gao, I got a note to go to the inner court to pick up gunpowder.

A total of [-] catties of gunpowder.

This amount, even for the Gunpowder Department, is not a small number. Fortunately, the relationship between Master Shen and the emperor is very "iron", and more importantly, Gao Ming knows this, so he got this gunpowder note. , is not particularly difficult.

On this day, Shen Yi ran to three yamen in a row.

In the afternoon, he finally got some free time, went home to catch up on sleep, and slept soundly all afternoon.

The next day, there was nothing to do, mainly waiting for further arrangements from the court, he stayed at home with his wife and children in the morning, and went out to have a meal with Zhang Jian in the evening.

In the evening, when Shen Yi returned home in the carriage, he saw Jiang Sheng waiting for him at the door of Shen's house. He jumped out of the carriage thoughtfully, and asked, "Is anyone here?"

Jiang Sheng lowered his head slightly.He opened the mouth and said, "My lord, General Ling and General Xue are here, waiting for you in the living room."

After a pause, he said again: "Master Ninth is talking with them."

Shen Yi nodded, indicating that he knew.

It has been several days since he sent these two letters. Even though Songjiang Mansion is [-] miles away from Jiankang, counting the days, the two of them should have arrived by now.

After yawning and breathing out the breath of alcohol, Shen Yi walked into his living room with his hands behind his back.

In the living room, Shen Jiulang and Shen Heng, sitting in the main seat, were talking with Ling Su and Xue Wei with a smile.

Because he is Xinke's Tanhualang, whether it is Ling Su or Xue Wei, they are a little reserved, just with a smile on their faces, they will answer Shen Heng's questions, and some people who don't know how to answer, just keep their heads down and don't speak.

Seeing Shen Yi walking in, Ling Su and Xue Wei quickly stood up as if they had been pardoned, bowed to Shen Yi and clasped their fists, lowering their heads and saying, "I've seen Mr. Shen!"

Shen Heng also stood up, and said to Shen Yi with a smile: "Brother is finally back, the two generals seem to be not good at words, talking with them will be hard for me."

Shen Yi patted him on the shoulder and smiled dumbly: "Okay, you go and rest."

Shen Heng nodded, cupped his hands towards the two generals, and said, "Two generals, Mr. Shen will take his leave first, you can talk slowly."

Ling Su hastily clasped his fists in return: "Mr. Shen, don't pass."

Xue Wei opened his mouth, but said nothing.

After Shen Heng left, the atmosphere in the living room immediately became much more harmonious. Shen Yi sat in Shen Heng's position just now, and waved his hand to signal the two of them to sit down.

After the two sat down, Master Shen pushed the teacup on the table aside, poured himself a cup of tea from a new cup, took a sip and asked, "Have you been to the palace?"

The two looked at each other and shook their heads.

Ling Su lowered his head slightly and said: "Because it was Jiankang who received the letter from Lord Shen, so he didn't go to the palace to face the saint. He came to Lord Shen's house as soon as he entered Jiankang City."

Shen Yi put down his teacup, nodded, and said, "Remember to go to the palace tomorrow and ask to see His Majesty. It doesn't matter whether His Majesty sees you or not."

Having said that, he paused, and added: "Your Majesty should meet you."

The two bowed their heads in agreement.

Shen Yi thought for a while, and asked again: "Do you know why you are in such a hurry, and you are called to come to Jiankang again?"

The two shook their heads.

"do not know."

"That's because you came two days early."

Master Shen narrowed his eyes and said: "You guys are two days late, the documents and imperial edicts of the imperial court should have just been sent to Songjiang Wei and delivered to you."

The two looked at each other, and they both swallowed at the same time, Xue Wei looked at Shen Yi, and said, "Mr. Shen, isn't it..."

"Is it, the two of us, what happened?"

"Or someone in the court impeached us?"

Ling Su also looked at Shen Yi.

Obviously, he thought so too.

Master Shen shook his head.He said lightly, "None."

He took a deep breath and said, "Some time ago, Northern Qi sent an envoy named Zhu Man."

"This man's words and deeds are inappropriate and offended Jinshang."

Master Shen narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty was very upset, so he punished him."

"Now, after this person has returned, there have been frequent changes in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the Qi army on the north bank of the Huaihe River has increased by tens of thousands."

"The conflict is almost imminent."

"The Huai River Navy... is beyond its capabilities."

After saying this, Master Shen took another sip of tea.He looked at the two people in front of him, and said slowly: "The imperial court is going to send [-] soldiers and horses from the coastal capital to train in Songjiang to guard a section of the Huaihe River against the Qi army."

"You two."

Shen Yi glanced at the expressions of the two, and asked slowly: "Do you have any opinions?"

At this time, the expressions of the two people were different.

Ling Su looked a little shocked.

And Xue Wei...

It is full of excitement!
