Chapter 798 Murder

In the Ganlu Hall, Prime Minister Chen Jing bowed to His Majesty the Emperor with a respectful expression.

"The old minister pays his respects to His Majesty."

The emperor waved his hand at him, signaling him not to be too polite, and then pointed to the battle report on the table, expressionless: "Chen Xiang can see for himself."

Eunuch Gao immediately handed several battle reports to the prime minister. After Chen Xiang read it, he was silent for a long time, then lowered his head slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, the coastal capital..."

"Outstanding combat achievements."

The emperor gave him a cold look and asked, "Is this the end?"

Chen Jing lowered his head, and continued: "Your Majesty, the ancients said that the important affairs of the country are between sacrifices and soldiers, and the old minister thought..."

He glanced at the emperor cautiously, and said, "Be more cautious, shall we take another look?"

The emperor was expressionless and asked, "What else does Prime Minister Chen want to see?"

"Shen Qi has only been in Huai'an for a few days, and he has already won countless battles! What else do you want to see? Do you think that the Northern Expedition is hopeful after Shen Qi goes to Yandu?"

Chen Jing sighed, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to fight a war, Zhongshu must support it. If the front line asks for money, Zhongshu will not be stingy."

"If you want something, Zhongshu won't get stuck..."

He bowed his head deeply, and said: "What does the imperial court want Zhongshu to do, please show me..."

"Playing stupid, aren't you?"

The emperor finally got angry, and said angrily: "I didn't tell you Zhongshu to do something now, but I asked you Zhongshu's prime ministers to raise their heads from today on!"

"Look north!"

"I want the court to be united as one, and the monarch and ministers to be one!"

After a few angry words, seeing that Chen Jing didn't speak, the emperor snorted angrily, and said, "Forget it, since Prime Minister Chen doesn't understand, then Prime Minister Chen, please go back to Zhongshu."

"For me, call the other prime ministers, and I'll ask them if they understand."

Chen Jing stood where he was, without moving for a while.

Because he heard it, the boss was very angry and was about to change the shopkeeper.

Chen Xiang was silent for a while, then looked up at the emperor, took a deep breath, and said, "Return to Your Majesty, old minister..."

"Energy is acceptable."

"I can understand..."

The emperor snorted coldly, looked back at eunuch Gao, and said slowly: "Since Chen Xiangting understands, Gao Ming, give Chen Xiang a seat."

"I'll have a good chat with Chen Xiang."

Eunuch Gao glanced at the emperor, and then at Chen Jing beside him.

He knew in his heart that it was not that the Prime Minister of Zhongshu had figured it out today, but that after several great victories, His Majesty the Emperor's will to make the Northern Expedition finally became completely firm.

The Prime Minister of Zhongshu is just the embodiment of His Majesty's will.

He respectfully brought a chair to Chen Jing and said with a smile on his face, "Mr. Chen, please sit down."

…………

On this day, Chen Jing, Prime Minister of Zhongshu, stayed in the Ganlu Hall for more than an hour. By the time the prime minister walked out of the Ganlu Hall, his back was already so sore from sitting for a long time.

While rubbing his waist, he slowly walked back to Zhongshu.

Just when Chen Xiang returned to Zhongshu, another letter was sent to Gao Ming. After seeing Shen Yi's handwriting, Gao Ming dared not neglect, and immediately sent the letter to His Majesty the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, the frontline doctor Shen played the book."

His Majesty the Emperor stretched out his hand without hesitation, took the letter, opened it and read it, and frowned, "What is it, can't I finish it in one breath, and send it in two parts?"

Soon, the emperor finished reading the letter, and then turned his head to look at Gao Ming strangely.

"Shen Qi said that he needs some..."

His Majesty the Emperor said in a daze.

"The clothes of the Huaihe Navy..."

………………

In Huai'an City, Shen Yi was in a tailor shop with Zhang Jian.

In front of them, there were several sets of brand new clothes and two military flags.

The "Huai" flag and the "Zhao" flag of the Huaihe Navy.

This is Shen Yi, who asked the tailors of Huai'an Mansion to rush to make it overnight.

Seeing that the clothes were all made, Shen Yi thought for a while and said, "Try to use old cloth instead of new ones."

The tailors nodded and went back to work.

Zhang Jian on the side looked at the clothes in front of him thoughtfully. He pulled Shen Yi aside and asked, "Ziheng, why are you making these clothes for the Huaihe navy? You want to pretend to be the Huaihe navy. Make a play for the people of Qi, pretending that the Huaihe navy has come to support, so as to scare the people of Qi away?"

Shen Yi shook his head slightly, and said, "A few pieces of clothes can scare everyone away."

He rubbed his eyebrows, and said: "After a while, senior brother will know."

Seeing Shen Yi's exhausted face, Zhang Jian stretched out his hand to support him, sighed slightly and said, "Okay, I won't inquire about your affairs anymore, you probably have been running around for the past few days, go and rest."

The mansion's voice was deep and low: "Leave it to me here, as much as you want, I'll have someone make it for you."

"Not too much."

Shen Yi rubbed his brows, and said: "I want it very urgently. I don't think there will be too much here in Huai'an Mansion for a while. I wrote to Jiankang. Jiankang should be able to send me some. "

Speaking of this, he looked at Zhang Jian and said in a deep voice: "What I really want to entrust to my brother is the conscription of the Huai'an Mansion. People died on the front line, and new recruits are needed, but you also know, brother..."

He said helplessly: "The more you fight with dead people, the harder it is to recruit soldiers."

"Now, I really don't have the energy to take care of these things. The few thousand-household camps recuperating in Huai'an are probably not very good at doing these things. I can only trouble the Huai'an prefect's yamen to help recruit soldiers."

Having said that, Shen Yi paused, and his voice was low: "But everything is voluntary and cannot be forced."

Zhang Jian looked at Shen Yi, and shook his head helplessly: "At this time, Ziheng is still thinking about these things?"

"It should be considered, no matter what time it is."

Shen Yi took a deep breath, and said: "Although military service has been compulsory since ancient times, but now it is urgent, and it may be too late to train too much, and I will go to the battlefield."

"Forcibly conscripted, if you go to the battlefield and meet the Qi people, I'm afraid they will turn around and run away."

"Forcibly recruiting is useless."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi glanced at Zhang Jian, cupped his hands at Zhang Jian, and said: "Brother, these things will trouble you, I really need to go to sleep, otherwise I won't have the energy to deal with the following things."

"You go."

Zhang Fuzun looked resolute: "I am here."

Shen Yi nodded. Accompanied by Jiang Sheng and others, he went back to the imperial envoy Xingyuan to take a shower. Not long after lying on the bed, he fell into a deep sleep.

It was afternoon when he fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already the next morning. When he sat up from the bed, Jiang Sheng, who heard the movement at the door, knocked on the door immediately and said: "Master, Ling The general is here."

Shen Yi stretched his waist and said, "Let him come in directly."

Soon, Ling Su walked into Shen Yi's bedroom, bowed his head respectfully to Shen Yi who was only wearing single clothes, and saluted with fists together: "Mr. Shen!"

Shen Yi nodded while putting on his clothes, then looked up at Ling Su, and asked, "How is the situation on the western front?"

Ling Su lowered his head slightly, and said respectfully: "Back to Shen Gong, so far on the western front, only a few Northern Qi peach spies who crossed the river to search for information have been found, fight..."

"There was no fight."

Hearing what he said, Shen Yi smiled and asked: "Without a battle, do you feel uncomfortable?"

Ling Su clasped his fists respectfully and said: "This subordinate only sticks to his job and accounts for the errands arranged by Mr. Shen. Other matters are not considered by this subordinate."

"Ah."

Shen Yi said indifferently: "In the past few days, Xue Wei's side has suffered a lot of losses. I am going to transfer two battalions of thousands of households from your side to the eastern front to supplement the combat power on the eastern front."

He looked at Ling Su and asked, "Does General Ling have any comments?"

Ling Su bowed his head respectfully: "This subordinate has no objection!"

Shen Yi nodded slowly, and said: "Okay, after you go back, adjust the defense on the eastern front and draw people out for me."

"Remember to adjust the defense well, don't make any omissions, although the people of Qi have suspended the attack, but most of them will not give up, and there may be a comeback at any time."

"Your western front cannot be messed up."

Ling Su bowed his head respectfully: "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, your subordinates will make proper arrangements."

Shen Yi nodded and continued: "Also, I want to send some brothers to the other side from you..."

He looked at Ling Su and asked, "Do you have a solution?"

Ling Su was taken aback.

"Mr. Shen, how many people do you want to send to the other side?"

He looked up at Shen Yi, and continued to ask: "What did you do in the past?"

At this time, Master Shen tied up his belt, and looked up at Ling Su faintly.

Then, he slowly said two words.

"kill."
