marquis of jingan

Chapter 827 Give it to him!

Although Shen Yi is now a civil servant of the fourth rank, if only in terms of his position, he is only a military officer of the fifth rank.

As for the identity of the imperial envoy...

It's just a temporary position, and there is no grade.

Wu Xuansi Langzhong can be regarded as a low-ranking official in the imperial court, but a fifth-rank official is still a bit unremarkable in Jiankang City.

Therefore, apart from a few people, few people really regarded Shen Qi as some great big shot.

However, in fact, in the past few years, Shen Yi's influence has expanded to all aspects.

In the business world, he has two people, Xu Fu and Ye Chan, who can help him solve economic problems. In terms of intelligence, he has developed for several years and has taken root in the Dibao Division, as well as the internal guard who basically supports him with all his strength. .

In the imperial court, he had the support of the emperor and Zhao Changping.

What's more, there are [-] troops under him now!

Although the 3 people have not been made up, and there are only more than 1 people at present, but the imperial court has given the establishment, the Ministry of Households will give money, the Ministry of War will give weapons and military funds, and the court will recognize it.

In other words, sooner or later, Master Shen will become a court minister with a heavy army in his hands.

In other words, it is an "important minister"!
Originally, Zhang Jian's understanding of Shen Yi was limited to Shen Yi's superficial appearance, but after writing a few letters, he suddenly discovered that the junior brother in front of him who he had watched grow up had unknowingly become a must-have in the court. A new force underestimated.

Moreover, it is almost "self-contained"!

Although what he saw was only a small part of Shen Yi, even a small part that Shen Yi deliberately let him see, but even this small part was enough to amaze the Master Zhang.

Because he, a third-generation official who was born in a prime minister's family, is called a noble son by the people of Jiankang as "Green and Purple". As far as he is concerned, his power in the court is far inferior to that of Shen Yi!

You know, Zhang Yi'an was a Jinshi of Hongde for four years, one subject earlier than Shen Yi, a full three years!

Hearing what Zhang Jian said, Shen Yi shook his head slightly, and said in a dumb voice: "Brother said that, he flattered and killed me. In the past few years, I have only devoted myself to serving the court..."

"If it's really bigger than before."

Master Shen smiled and said, "That's what the court needs."

"It has nothing to do with myself."

Zhang Jian gave a "tsk", smiled at Shen Yi, and said, "Zi Heng, your official accent is better than being a brother."

He looked at these letters and said, "Do you want to send them to you?"

Shen Yi shook his head slightly, and said: "The two letters to the palace and the court must be sent to Jiankang immediately, and some other letters must be delivered by Jiang Sheng."

"Don't bother senior brother."

Zhang Jian nodded silently, expressing his understanding. He looked at Shen Yi, sighed and said, "However, Ziheng, you are too conservative to give the imperial court and His Majesty's documents. Of course, you should ask for credit for your subordinates, but no matter what, Can't you shorten your own credit?"

"Look at you, you're covered in injuries, you don't look like a civil servant anymore, why can't you give yourself some credit?"

"It's my credit, no need to ask."

Master Shen said softly: "Of course the imperial court can see it. Besides, if you ask for credit for yourself at this time, what can the imperial court give me?"

Shen Yi looked at Zhang Jian, and laughed at himself: "Can you quickly add a servant of the Ministry of War?"

There are many inner guards next to Mr. Shen, and the emperor's eyes may have been fixed on Huai'an, and even the entire Huaihe defense line. Shen Yi's every move will fall into the eyes of the emperor.

At this time, not to fight is the biggest fight.

To fight for your subordinates is to fight for yourself.

"Then why doesn't it work?"

Zhang Jian was a little unconvinced, and said, "With Ziheng's contribution to you, don't say that you will be appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of War, but even if you are appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of War, that is also reasonable."

"Zhongshu will not agree."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "After all, I'm still a civil servant, so I can't climb too fast, otherwise most people in the court will have sour water coming out of their bellies."

Zhang Jian felt a little regretful, nodded and said, "That's right, if Ziheng is a military officer."

"These credits may be enough to make you a marquis!"

The so-called Liuhou is a marquis with a lifelong system.

Corresponding to it is Marquis, a title that can be passed down from generation to generation.

Master Shen yawned, and said slowly: "If I were born as a military officer, I could be a member of hundreds of households by now..."

"I'm afraid my head can be crushed. As for these credits, I don't even dare to think about it."

Hearing Shen Yi's words, Zhang Jian frowned.

He could tell that Shen Yi had some complaints about the system that emphasized civility over martial arts.

From the standpoint of a civil official, Zhang Jian naturally felt a little uncomfortable when he heard such words, but from a rational point of view, what Shen Yi said was true and true.

After a long silence, Zhang Fuzun shook his head slightly and sighed.

"The former dynasty's feudal towns were separated, warriors..."

"It hurts the world too much..."

………………

In the early morning of the third day after the Zhouqiao battle, before His Majesty the Emperor woke up, the eunuch Gao Ming received a secret note from Shen Yi.

Two hours before receiving Shen Yi's secret report, there was another secret report from the inner guard, which was also sent to Gao Ming.

However, because His Majesty the Emperor was already asleep, it was not until the morning when the sun slowly rose that Gao Ming came before His Majesty the Emperor with two documents.

At this moment, the emperor was still having breakfast in Deqing Palace, so he didn't have time to go to Ganlu Palace.

After taking a sip of the porridge, His Majesty the Emperor turned his head to look at Gao Ming, frowned and said, "There is no court meeting today, and there are people waiting on me for introspection..."

"What made you come so early in the morning?"

Eunuch Gao lowered his head slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, there is no rush. After you have finished your breakfast, this servant will report to you."

"Stop talking nonsense."

The emperor took a sip of porridge and said lazily: "Speak directly, I don't like to beat around the bush."

Eunuch Gao hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, and then said: "Return to Your Majesty, according to the report of Shen Langzhong, the imperial envoy of Huai'an, two mornings ago, 8000 people from the Northern Qi Dynasty attacked our Huai'an defense line Zhouqiao camp. There were only two battalions of thousands of households stationed there, and they immediately fell into a bitter battle."

Hearing this, the emperor put down his chopsticks and frowned deeply: "What happened?"

"The soldiers of the Zhouqiao camp fought bravely for half a day, withstood the attack of the Qi people, supported them until the reinforcements arrived, and then the reinforcements successfully repelled the Qi people."

"This battle killed more than 4000 Qi people and injured countless others."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Good deed, I have drawn up a decree to reward two thousand-household battalions in Zhouqiao camp, and two thousand-household camps, each with a hundred gold."

"Others, let Shen Qi watch and reward."

"Um…"

"Tell Shen Yi, how he reports, he will be promoted in the Ministry of War..."

Gao Ming nodded in agreement first, then hesitated for a while, and continued: "Your Majesty, follow what Shen Langzhong played..."

"The two thousand-household battalions in Zhouqiao, in order to resist the people of Qi, fought to the death without retreating..."

"By the time we retreated in the afternoon, more than [-] people were killed, more than [-] people were seriously injured, and the rest were hundreds of people.

Hearing these words, the emperor had already got the half-empty porridge bowl and put it down slowly.

He silently raised his head and glanced at Eunuch Gao.

"You don't want to say it because you think I won't be able to eat this meal after hearing this, don't you?"

Eunuch Gao lowered his head and did not answer.

The emperor was no longer in the mood to eat. He leaned against the back of the chair and closed his eyes: "If there is anything else, read it out together."

"Shen Langzhong played so much, the follow-up casualties have not been fully reported, but the inner guards have sent up another secret play."

Eunuch Gao lowered his head, took a deep breath, and said slowly.

"In the Battle of Zhouqiao, in order to boost morale, Shen Langzhong personally went to the battlefield and fought the enemy with a knife for nearly an hour, killing and wounding seven or eight Qi people. After the battle, Shen Langzhong was stabbed in the back and soaked his underwear with blood Fainted on the battlefield, only to wake up in the middle of the night."

"Xue Wei, the commander of the capital, rushed to the battle several times and killed countless Qi people. He was stabbed several times, his clothes were bloody, and he passed out on the battlefield..."

Speaking of this, Gao Ming carefully glanced at His Majesty the Emperor, who leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and said nothing.

Eunuch Gao boldly continued, "But don't worry, Your Majesty, Langzhong Shen has already woken up when the internal guards played the secret performance..."

The emperor still closed his eyes and remained silent.

I don't know how long it took before he slowly opened his eyes and clenched his fists hard.

"It's Huai'an again, it's Huai'an again!"

He thumped the table angrily, almost knocking all the food on the table to the ground.

After losing his temper, His Majesty the Emperor slumped on the chair, depressed, and murmured...

"Shen Qi is a civil servant..."

The hands under His Majesty's wide sleeves were trembling slightly, which showed that he was extremely angry.

"Being forced to come to battle in person..."

I don't know how long it took for His Majesty the Emperor to calm down, he turned his head to look at Gao Ming, and said coldly: "Shen Qi is in the memorial, did you ask for anything from the imperial court?"

"Have."

Eunuch Gao bowed his head, handed Shen Yi's memo with both hands, and said.

"Shen Langzhong, I want a warship..."

His Majesty the Emperor received the memorial, but before opening it, he opened his mouth without hesitation.

"give him!"
