Chapter 840 Revitalizing the Ministry of War!

That night, Shen Yi stayed in Ganlu Hall for a long time, and he didn't leave Ganlu Hall until after midnight.

Because it was too late, he could only stay overnight in the palace, the eunuch Gao Ming led him personally, and left the Ganlu Hall to find a place to live.

Eunuch Gao walked in front, and Shen Yi walked behind him, the two of them did not speak for a long time.

After walking for a while, Shen Yi coughed and said with a smile: "It's been a while since I saw you. Eunuch Gao is still handsome, but he seems to talk less."

Gao Ming walked in front with a lantern in his hand, and said calmly, "The most important thing to do in the palace is not to speak when you shouldn't. Our family has been in the palace for many years, so we naturally understand this truth."

After a pause, he continued: "From now on, if Langzhong Shen wants to talk, he can talk to Eunuch Sun more."

Shen Yi smiled dumbly: "Eunuch Gao, although Eunuch Sun has taken over some of the inner guards, it is absolutely impossible to threaten Eunuch Gao's position."

"Eunuch Gao doesn't have to think too much."

Gao Ming's pace still didn't stop, he just sighed slightly: "If Mr. Shen hadn't found a good nephew for our family, whoever is leading Mr. Shen here at this time probably wouldn't be our family."

Shen Yi shook his head and said, "If it wasn't for me, Eunuch Sun might not even have put on the purple clothes."

"Eunuch Gao, don't worry."

"The sage pays attention to the word of the mean. Everything should not be too full, nor too short. In my opinion, the current measure of the father-in-law is just right."

"As long as Eunuch Gao is not in a hurry or impatient, and handles errands with peace of mind, within ten years, no one will be able to shake Eunuch Gao's position. As for ten years later..."

Shen Yi smiled and said, "Eunuch Sun may not be still there."

Gao Ming finally stopped. He glanced back at Shen Yi, and then forced a smile on his face.

"That's the reason, it's just that our family is in it, so we can't help but feel anxious."

"Thank you Master Shen for your good words, our family will remember them."

After he was polite, he turned and walked forward again, and when he reached a place where there was no one, he seemed to be talking to himself.

"In the past six months, the palace has not been peaceful."

"It's getting more and more violent."

After he finished speaking, he fell silent.

This is the conversation between smart people.

Shen Yi understood the meaning of his words almost immediately.

What the eunuch meant was that the "Gong Dou" became more and more intense.

As for the two parties in the Gongdou, they are naturally Empress Sun and Concubine Hui.

Empress Sun is a big wife, but Concubine Hui has a son.

Although Concubine Hui is still at an absolute disadvantage, but now, as the eldest prince Li Wang grows up healthily, her right to speak in the harem has gradually gained weight.

This is mainly because…

The eldest prince can speak.

If you can talk, you will be likable, and you can't help but feel unhappy with the queen mother when she yells at each grandmother.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

That Jinling pipa master...

It's amazing.

Putting an ordinary woman in her place, not only would she not be able to survive in the harem, she might even lose her son and be raised by other empresses.

And this Master Gu has already created his own world in the harem.

While Mr. Shen was still thinking, Gao Ming had already brought him to the door of a room. Eunuch Gao said lightly, "The door is not locked. Mr. Shen, go in and rest. Your Majesty knows that adults like to sleep late, so you don't have to get up early tomorrow. Go to the Ganlu Hall to meet you, after waking up, Mr. Shen will leave the palace on his own."

Shen Yi cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Thank you, Eunuch."

Gao Ming bowed slightly to return the salute, then turned and left.

Shen Yi pushed open the door and walked in. The room was lit with lanterns and candles, and it was fairly bright.

As soon as he walked in, two fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls emerged from the bed, knelt in front of Shen Yi, kowtowed to Shen Yi and said, "I've met you, sir."

This is a maid in the palace. Some favored officials stay overnight in the palace, and the palace will reward two warm beds.

It is an administrative treatment.

Master Shen is no stranger to this kind of feudal corruption. After all, it is not a bad thing for someone to warm the bed in the cold weather.

…………

The next day, when the sky was bright, Master Shen got up from the bed.

The two maids had already left.

After he yawned, he got up and got dressed, then left the imperial city all the way, and went home to catch up on sleep.

After all, yesterday, he stayed up late into the night with the emperor, and he couldn't sleep until noon in the palace, so he wasn't fully awake yet.

After going home to catch up on sleep and then waking up, it was almost noon and afternoon.

Master Shen got up, put on his normal clothes, before he walked out of the yard, Lian Er ran over, holding a bunch of greeting cards, smiled at Shen Yi and said, "Master, many people came to visit you early this morning. "

Lian'er used to have a bit of a temper, but after living in Shen's house for a few years, with Shen Yi's rise in status, she has become much more well-behaved, and she is no longer as aggressive as before.

Shen Yi smiled and asked: "Who are they, are you familiar with them?"

Lian Er handed the posters to Shen Yi, and said, "I don't know if my uncle recognizes them, but some of them speak Jiangdu dialect, and they say they are from my hometown."

"Some say it's the same year, with a weird accent, and it can be found everywhere."

Shen Yi took the greeting card and looked at it for a few times, then returned it to Lian Er, shook his head and said: "I see you, if there is such a person coming to the door again, just tell them, one day I will enter the official department, and come look for me again."

In Master Shen's lifetime, the possibility of becoming an official in the Ministry of Officials is not impossible, but it is very small.

I don't know what year and month it was.

After dismissing the "thigh-hugging" people who came to the door, Shen Yi ate a meal with his family, wiped his mouth, and was about to go out.

Seeing that Shen Yi was leaving again, Lu Ruoxi couldn't help complaining, and said softly, "Why are you going out again?"

"There is something urgent to do, and the sooner it is done, the better."

Shen Yi turned his head and said with a smile: "After finishing this matter, you can stay at home for a few days with peace of mind."

After saying goodbye to his family, he got into the carriage and entered the imperial city, all the way to the Ministry of War.

At this moment, he was wearing the uniform of a fourth-rank official, and he was also an officer of the Ministry of War. Naturally, no one dared to stop him. Soon, he arrived at Jiang Shangshu's door without any hindrance, and knocked on the door.

"Tang Zun, Shen Yi, Director of Martial Arts Selection, asks to see you."

After he said this, there was a sound in the room immediately. It is estimated that the old man Jiang was taken aback. After a while, Jiang Shangshu opened the door. He looked Shen Yi up and down, and then pulled Shen Yi very enthusiastically. He smiled and said, "When did Ziheng return to Jiankang?"

Six years before Hongde, [-]% to [-]% of the officials in the court called Jiankang the "capital". Even hardliners like Zhao Changping habitually called Jiankang the capital in private.

But after His Majesty the Emperor came to power, the wind in the court changed again and again. Up to now, as long as there are officials with a little brain, they are very cautious in speaking, and few people call Jiankang the capital anymore.

Shen Yi smiled at Jiang Shangshu, and said, "I just arrived in Jiankang yesterday evening, no, not long after I came back, I was the first to visit Tang Zun, your old man?"

After Jiang Shangshu pulled Shen Yi into his private room and sat down, he returned to his chair. He looked at Shen Yi helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Ziheng, you are nice to talk, but I'm afraid you are here to squeeze me again. Drain the grease from old bones."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Tang Zun, why can't you figure it out? I'm still an officer of the Ministry of War. I'm fighting in Huai'an, but I have some small credits, and they all have to be credited to you, Tang Zun. "

"At this time, no matter whether it is the Ministry of War or Tang Zun, they should fully support the next official."

Hearing this, Jiang Shangshu was a little helpless. He looked at Shen Yi and sighed: "I have read the Huai'an battle report, and I know that Ziheng has worked hard on the front line. It's just that our Ministry of War has been unable to speak in the court these years. Not enough money..."

"There are some things that really don't exist."

He looked at Shen Yi, sighed and said, "Finally, what do you want, Ziheng?"

"Hui Tangzun, the [-] recruits ordered by the lower officials have basically been recruited, and they are currently undergoing emergency training, and will leave for Huai'an in the next year."

"These 1 people basically have no armor, no weapons, no bows, no horses..."

"I also ask Tang Zun to help, and send their things to Huai'an before the spring begins."

Jiang Jian looked at Shen Yi helplessly: "Where is this a helping hand? This is half the arm of the Ministry of War..."

"Let the Huai'an army go into battle and kill the enemy."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "It's better than rusting in the warehouse, Tang Zun, don't you think so?"

"Also, the warship must be sent to Huai'an as soon as possible. This is very important..."

Master Shen cupped his hands at Jiang Jian and said in a deep voice.

"Tang Zun, revive the prestige of the Ministry of War!"

"It's now!"

　I wish you all a happy Friday~
