marquis of jingan

Chapter 807
It was already afternoon when he came out of the palace, which meant that Shen Yi could stay in Jiankang for half a day before leaving for Huai'an to preside over the overall situation.

Fortunately, Master Shen is in Jiankang now, and he has nothing else to do. He originally wanted to see Zhao Changping, but when he saw Zhao Changping, he didn't have anything special to say, the most he wanted was to report on the latest battle situation.

Zhao Changping, as one of the Great Nine Ministers, knows most of the frontline battle reports.

Therefore, Shen Yi did not go to the household department to meet him.

After walking out of the imperial city, the broad Xuanwu Street is in front of you.

Shen Yi walked down the street with his hands behind his back.

At this time, Jiankang City did not seem to be affected by the war at all, and the streets were still bustling with people coming and going.

It is worth mentioning that Shen Yi has already seen a lot of glass products on the street.

They are all made of transparent glass, and most of them are placed at the door of the store to attract business. Because it is still a rare thing, many people gather around the store and look at the pure and transparent glass products in the store, very curious.

Also curious, Shen Yi was only curious about the price of this item, so he went up to ask about the price.

Prices are still high.

A transparent glass cup with an open mouth costs tens of taels, a price that Shen Yi simply cannot accept.

But this also shows one thing, Xu Fu Liulichang's business is doing very well in Jiankang, and it seems that this business should not only be done in Jiankang, but has probably spread to other state capitals near Jiankang.

After wandering around the street, Shen Yi had nothing else to do, so he went home to accompany his wife and children.

At this moment, his child is only about three months away from being born, about the first month of the 12th year.

It was a rare half-day "vacation", so Shen Yi naturally wanted to spend time with his family.

Soon, it was evening, before the Shen family had dinner, Jiang Sheng hurried over to report that Zhao Shangshu had arrived at the door.

Hearing the news, Shen Yi hurriedly brought his family members to the front yard to greet him, only to see Zhao Changping, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, who had just got out of the sedan chair and walked towards him.

Shen Yi stepped forward quickly, bowed his hands and saluted: "I have seen Master."

After being helped up by Zhao Changping, Shen Yi bowed his head in embarrassment and said, "This afternoon, I was supposed to visit my uncle, but my nephew only stayed for one day when he came back, and since His Majesty had secretly summoned him, he didn't dare to bother my uncle."

Zhao Changping smiled at Shen Yi, and said, "It's okay, you shouldn't see me now."

"Originally, I didn't know you had returned to Jiankang."

"I heard from the people below that I saw you in the imperial city, so I came to your house to have a look after work."

Speaking of this, Zhao Changping looked at the Shen family's mansion, and said with a soft smile: "Don't invite me, uncle, to come in and sit?"

Zhao Changping was not only Shen Yi's elder, but also Lu Ruoxi's "mother's family", so he was naturally invited into the Shen family's upper seat, and Shen Yi accompanied him to talk to him.

After both of them were seated, Zhao Changping lowered his head and took a sip of tea, glanced at Shen Yi, and said quietly: "You don't see me today, there is nothing wrong with you, you are fighting a war, you don't want to put me The old man got involved in the battle."

Speaking of this, Zhao Changping paused, looked up at Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "You don't go to see me, but I come to see you, does Ziheng know what it means?"

"know."

Shen Yi sighed slightly, and said, "Uncle Master wants to tell everyone in Jiankang about your attitude towards this war."

"good."

Zhao Changping nodded silently, and said with a smile: "There is nothing to hide. Needless to say, you and I have a similar relationship between master and apprentice, even if we have never met each other. This trip today, the old man is also coming .”

At this time, although it was not completely dark yet, a lantern had already been hung in the lobby of the Shen family. By the light of the lantern, Shen Yi glanced at the big Chen's God of Wealth in front of him.

Uncle Zhao, who was very young back then, doesn't seem to be too young now.

On the head, there is a lot of white hair.

What is rare is that after becoming famous, the Da Jiuqing has not changed his original intention.

Still willing and daring to look up and look to the north.

Although his attitude is not as extreme as Shen Yi's old Taishan Lu Anshi, but as a big shot at the top of the imperial court, at this moment, he is willing to express his stance like this.

Very rare.

Shen Yi picked up the teacup, offered a toast to Zhao Changping, and said, "Master, my nephew replaces the wine with tea, and I toast you a toast."

"The meal at home will be ready soon. Anyway, you stay with us for a meal today, and we have a few drinks."

Zhao Changping is very rational.

It is precisely because of his personality that he does very well in the household affairs.

But also because of this personality, this Zhao Shangshu rarely drinks alcohol.

To be precise, since he became the Minister of the Household Department, he hardly drank alcohol.

Of course, before serving as the servant of the household department, because of the need to hang out in the officialdom, some entertainment was sometimes unavoidable.

But today, the Da Jiuqing readily agreed and said with a smile, "Okay."

He looked at Lu Ruoxi at the side, and smiled.

"Today, the old man will have a meal at Xiaoqingque's house."

Lu Ruoxi was overjoyed, nodded and said: "I'll go to the kitchen now and cook two dishes for you personally, Uncle."

"Can't."

Zhao Shangshu shook his head slightly, and said: "You are still pregnant with the child, if you get hurt somewhere, if Ziheng doesn't come to trouble the old man, the old man can't explain it to your father."

Shen Yi answered with a smile.

"I'm afraid this is the only thing that made my father-in-law rush to Jiankang."

Everyone looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

That night, Zhao Changping had his first meal in Shen's house, and he didn't leave until late at night.

After Zhao Changping left, several thick envelopes were also delivered to Shen Yi's desk.

It was sent by Di Baosi.

It describes in detail the big and small things that happened in the court in the past few months.

In addition to the Dibao Division, there was also a letter sent to Shen Yi by Wailang Zheng Ling, a member of the Military Selection Division of the Ministry of War. It mainly wrote about the big and small things that happened in the Ministry of War in the past few months, especially the affairs of the Military Selection Division.

It took half an hour to read these documents, and the night was already deep.

Master Shen sat on the chair in the study room, put away the paperwork on the table, and then stretched long.

He glanced at the direction of the imperial city to the north, and muttered in a low voice.

"This is the direction of the court."

Speaking of this, Master Shen blew out the candles on the table, and sighed faintly in the dark where he couldn't see his fingers.

"It seems to have changed."

………………

Early the next morning, Shen Yi bid farewell to his family, rode on a fast horse, and left Jiankang.

Although it will take some time for Northern Qi's reinforcements to arrive at the Huaihe River, and there will be no major battles on the Huaihe defense line in a short period of time, but the enemy's situation is already clear, Shen Yi will naturally rush back at this time and deploy defenses in advance.

During the [-]-mile journey, Shen Yi and his group traveled almost day and night, and rushed back to Huai'an Fucheng in the early hours of the next day.

When everyone entered the city, the sky had already gradually brightened, and Master Shen didn't even go back to the imperial envoy Xingyuan immediately to make up for his sleep, but went straight to the Yamen of the prefect of Huai'an.

Shen Yi knocked on the door of the magistrate's yamen before it opened for business.

A moment later, Shen Yi was in the backyard of the yamen, and arrived at the mansion master who was washing up.

Shen Yi found a stone pier in the backyard and sat down, looked at Zhang Jian who was washing his face, and asked, "Brother, hasn't anything happened these few days?"

"No big deal."

Zhang Jian put the towel aside, glanced at Shen Yi, and said with some helplessness in her tone: "The little things keep going."

"In the past few days, the Huaihe River has been much quieter, but the Northern Qi attacked the Hongze Lake area on a large scale, and even the Huaihe Navy brought us Huai'an to fight together. General Ling suffered a small loss."

Zhang Jian looked at Shen Yi and sighed.

"Yesterday, more than 200 wounded soldiers were sent back to Huai'an to recuperate."

"I didn't let them enter the city, for fear of causing panic among the people."

Zhang Fuzun said quietly: "I asked people to conscript a Zhuangzi outside the city, and put all the doctors in it. From now on, it will be treated as a wounded barracks. Those sent back from the front line will be sent in for treatment and recuperation."

Shen Yi nodded silently, and said: "Brother, this arrangement is good. The conscription is going on right now, and the common people really shouldn't panic."

"What about you?"

He looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Have you gained anything from this trip back to Jiankang?"

Shen Yi let out a foul breath and looked at Zhang Jian.

"Northern Qi has increased its troops to the Huaihe River on a large scale, it is rumored..."

Master Shen rubbed his temples, and said, "I sent a man surnamed Zhao to supervise the battle, and he was very aggressive."

"It's menacing."

Zhang Fuzun was a little surprised, and asked, "Hu Qi's prince?"

Master Shen nodded.

"Mostly."

　Thanks to [Lin Wuqian] Master Lin for the reward!
