marquis of jingan

In the palace of nectar.

Shen Yi, who was dressed in a crimson official uniform, was stopped by the emperor with a wave before he had time to kneel down.

"Without outsiders, Shen Qing doesn't need to be too polite, Gao Ming, give Shen Qing a seat."

Soon, Master Shen sat down on the small stool in Ganlu Hall just like before.

The emperor was sitting on the throne and was about to speak, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, he winked at Gao Ming, the eunuch Gao understood, and moved a small stool for him.

His Majesty the Emperor, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, just sat down next to Shen Yi, like a friend of the same generation.

"such a pity."

He reached out and patted Master Shen on the shoulder, and said with emotion.

"There were several battles in Huai'an this year, all of which were steadfast. I took it out to quarrel with those old men from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials. It wasn't that strong, and I didn't win them."

The emperor said with some annoyance: "Otherwise, with Shen Qing's achievements this year, no matter what, I have to give you the title of Minister of the Ministry of War."

According to the river, no matter how good the record is, it will be said that it is relying on the geographical advantage.

Therefore, for this credit, some "discounts" must be applied.

Shen Yi didn't care much about the comparison, and he didn't expect to get any official position for himself by virtue of Huai'an's merits.

Moreover, even if he is given the title of minister of the military department now, it is still a title, and it is impossible for him to serve.

From Doctor Zhongshun of the fourth rank to Minister of the Ministry of War of the third rank...It is good to be promoted, but Shen Yi doesn't care if he can't.

What he really cared about was something else.

Master Shen bowed slightly, and said, "Thanks to His Majesty's great love, I am ashamed and dare not be ashamed. This year Huai'an has fought several times. It is the Huai'an defenders who have received the grace of heaven and felt holy virtue. Therefore, they bravely killed the enemy, defended the country for the country, and fought with the minister..."

"It really doesn't matter much."

"The minister has never thought of asking for any credit for himself, but please the court, don't forget the credit of the frontline soldiers, and don't let the blood of the frontline soldiers be shed in vain!"

Hearing his words, the emperor couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

He patted his thigh hard.

"Huai'an's battle report, everything is detailed, I have read it one by one."

"Since August, in just three months, there have been more than [-] casualties of the soldiers of the capital. Every time I see these battle reports, why don't I feel sad for the soldiers on the front line?"

He looked at Shen Yi, and said seriously: "Shen Qing, don't worry, the compensation that the imperial court should issue will not be less than one tael of silver. I will ask the Ministry of War to record all the credits reported by Huai'an."

"You, Shen Ziheng, reported how to promote them, and the Ministry of War approved them one by one!"

Speaking of this, before Shen Yi could speak, the emperor said again: "Besides, I know that since the coastal capital division suppressed the Japanese, the pensions and rewards in the army have been much higher than those of other troops. The pension will be paid according to the pension of the coastal capital!"

Hearing this sentence, Shen Yi raised his head to look at His Majesty the Emperor, and sighed slightly: "Your Majesty loves me deeply, I understand it in my heart, but based on my understanding of Uncle Zhao, the Ministry of Household Affairs may not agree to such a pension."

"The Ministry of Households does not agree, and I will pay for it from my own money!"

The emperor said in a deep voice: "Anyway, I won't let you, Shen Ziheng, pay for it yourself."

Hearing what the emperor said, a smile appeared on Shen Yi's face, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty seems to be much richer now."

"That is."

Seeing Shen Yi smiling, the emperor smiled.

Just now, because too many people died on the front line, he was afraid of hurting the feelings of Shen Yi, the leader. Shen Yi didn't smile, and he never laughed.

His Majesty the Emperor smiled and said: "The Liulichang is really good at making money. Even now, the price of Jiankang's transparent glaze has plummeted, and the Liulichang is still making money every day."

"With this business, I live a daily life, and I don't realize that I am much richer."

When mentioning Liulichang, Shen Yi remembered something. After he was silent for a while, he still opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, there is a thousand households in our army. The deployment plan was given to the Qi people, and the telescope was secretly given to the Qi people."

"It's not difficult to imitate this thing, but the hard part is how to get transparent glass to act as a lens."

Shen Yi said slowly: "Therefore, it seems that the imperial court should control these transparent colored glazes, and prevent them from being distributed to the north in large quantities, at least within a short period of time..."

Hearing Shen Yi's words, the emperor frowned slightly. After a while, he looked at Shen Yi and asked, "That Qianhu, have you dealt with it?"

Shen Yi nodded.

"Return to Your Majesty, the military law has been followed."

The emperor snorted angrily: "The Yi tribe!"

Shen Yi bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, this person... it's hard to die now. As for his family members, I think it's enough to confiscate and exile..."

The emperor took a deep breath, looked at Shen Yi, and sighed: "Forget it, since Shen Qing has already dealt with it, I won't deal with it anymore, I will follow Shen Qing's way, and in the future, this kind of thing will happen..."

The emperor said angrily: "There is no need to appease, just hand it over to the inner guards, and the inner guards will take care of them."

Shen Yi bowed his head silently: "Yes, I obey."

"The warship you want, the armor, I have ordered the Ministry of War to send it to Huai'an as soon as possible."

"Honestly speaking, I am very surprised that Huai'an can hold on and gain the upper hand like this."

He looked at Shen Yi, and said in a low voice: "Next year, Huai'an will be guarded for another year. When the time comes, I will move the Zhao family, and no one in the court will have anything to say."

Another year of guarding Huai'an next year means that guarding the Huai River can be done even without the Zhao family.

If the Huaihe Navy does not need the Zhao family.

Then the court would not need it.

Taking action against the Zhao family requires a great deal of courage for the imperial court. As far as the current situation is concerned, His Majesty the Emperor already has this kind of courage.

But the Great Chen court has not yet.

To put it bluntly, the emperor's will, most of the time, cannot represent the will of the entire imperial court.

Therefore, the emperor needs Shen Yi to give the court some courage.

Shen Yi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I just took over Huai'an this year. Not long after taking over, I was attacked by the people of Qi, and there were several fierce attacks. For a while, it was inevitable that I was at a loss, and it was difficult to take care of myself."

"But now, the minister and the Huai'an defenders have survived the storm."

He lowered his head slightly and said, "Next year, the Huai'an defenders will not only defend well, but also fight beautifully."

His Majesty the Emperor was delighted to hear these words.

He clapped his hands and said with a smile, "I like to hear this kind of talk."

After being happy for a while, the emperor slowly calmed down. He looked at Shen Yi and said, "It's just that by the beginning of spring next year, the number of Qi people on the north bank will double..."

"It is very likely that they will attack the South Bank in full force."

"What I mean is that at least in the first half of the year, Huai'an will still focus on sticking to it."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Shen Yi flattered him calmly.

But this sentence is empty talk.

No matter how powerful the emperor was, he had to sit down in Jiankang honestly, and when the time came when the guns fired from the front line, everyone would listen to Master Shen.

It's hard for anyone to speak!
His Majesty the Emperor was quite excited, watching Shen Yi chattering about the next year's war, and after talking for half an hour, Shen Yi suddenly remembered something and asked, "Does Your Majesty know the King Wei of the Northern Qi Dynasty? "

"King Wei..."

The emperor thought for a while, nodded and said: "I know, the fourth child of Hu Qi's Zhao family, Wei Wang Zhao Kai."

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly, thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty is getting more and more ill. The princes of the Northern Qi Dynasty are all staring at the throne."

"At this time, the Northern Qi emperor threw out his fourth son and let him go to the Huai River to take charge of the army. Did he like it..."

"No."

The emperor shook his head directly, and said decisively: "Shen Qing, you don't understand the royal family. At this critical time, those who have the hope of inheriting the throne must be in the capital! When the day of the emperor's death, the world will be turned upside down, but it will happen in an instant. Things, on the banks of the Huaihe River, how can there be time?"

Shen Yi nodded, then said softly.

"Your Majesty, I think..."

"If you can make this King Wei think that it is..."

"Enough…"
