marquis of jingan

Chapter 848
On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, the imperial court has not yet "opened", and all the yamen are in rest.

Under such circumstances, the Shen family added a daughter in the morning, and people from the palace came to congratulate them in the afternoon, which showed that the palace still valued Master Shen very much.

This time, a somewhat unfamiliar face came to the palace, not Gao Ming or Sun Jin, but a eunuch who looked to be in his 30s, but this eunuch was also dressed in purple.

It's not easy to get to this level in the palace.

But the eunuch, after seeing Shen Yi, lowered his head and saluted, and said with a smile: "I have seen Mr. Shen."

Shen Yi cupped his hands to return the salute, and asked, "Your father-in-law is polite."

The eunuch didn't talk nonsense, but took a wooden box from the little eunuch behind him, put both hands in front of Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, Your Majesty learned that Langzhong's family has a daughter, so he specially sent it to Shen Yi." A luminous pearl, congratulations to the doctor."

Now, Shen Yi's highest official position is Fourth Grade Zhongshun Doctor, but this position is not very easy to call, and Sanzhi officials generally do not call official positions, so these eunuchs in the palace still call him the official position of the Ministry of War.

Shen Yi took the box with both hands, and was about to salute to thank him, but was supported by the eunuch, and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, Your Majesty has explained, you just accept it, no need to salute."

"Your Majesty ordered that Mr. Shen is free these two days, remember to go to the palace."

The emperor's words are polite words.

He can say polite words, but the courtier can't take it seriously. Shen Yi handed the luminous pearl to Ping'er behind him, told Ping'er to keep it, then turned his head and cupped his hands to the eunuch: "Your Majesty ordered, Shen does not dare to be negligent. Eunuch will go into the palace together."

The eunuch nodded with a smile, and said, "Well, our family will have someone prepare a sedan chair for Langzhong Shen."

Shen Yi followed him towards the door of his house and asked, "This father-in-law, what's your name?"

The eunuch lowered his head slightly, and said, "Our family name is Liang, and our humble name is Lianghua."

Having said that, he paused, and added: "It's kindness."

Shen Yi smiled and said, "This surname is rare."

Master Shen knew in his heart that this "good father-in-law" was originally surnamed Liang, but he just entered the palace, fearing to humiliate his ancestors, so he changed his name.

But the surname Liang does exist, maybe this father-in-law is indeed surnamed Liang, it's hard to say.

Master Shen thought for a while, and then said: "Good father-in-law, he is also very face-to-face."

"In the past, our family did errands in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was mainly to help Eunuch Gao with the errands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and we didn't go out very much."

Eunuch Liang said with a faint smile: "Recently, the newcomers in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are better than the old ones, and our family has been squeezed out to run errands."

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is also a huge organization. Eunuch Gao, the head of the inner court, is also responsible for daily affairs, palace affairs, and serving the emperor. One person must be too busy.

And the good father-in-law in front of him is probably the actual steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

After a few random words with this good father-in-law, Shen Yi stopped talking, but thought about how to deal with the emperor next time.

Soon, he entered the palace all the way in the sedan chair in the palace, and came to the Ganlu Palace.

It was approaching evening at this moment, and His Majesty the Emperor was not dealing with government affairs, but flipping through an old book that had turned yellow. Shen Yi glanced at it from a distance, and there were illustrations in the book.

Although it doesn't look very real, it is probably not a serious book.

After seeing Shen Yi walking in, the emperor put the old book aside, looked up at Shen Yi, smiled and said: "Congratulations Shen Qing, the pearl is in your palm."

Shen Yi bowed slightly, with a smile on his face, cupped his hands and said: "It's rare for His Majesty to miss small things at home."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Now that you have a daughter, do you still remember what I told you earlier?"

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, and asked: "If you dare to ask Your Majesty, what did you say, I can't remember clearly..."

The emperor smiled dumbly.

"Forget it, since you don't want to admit it, then bring it up later."

The emperor pointed to the small pier that had already been prepared, and motioned for Shen Yi to sit down.

After Mr. Shen was seated, the emperor glanced at him indifferently, and said: "On the seventh day of the lunar new year, I asked you when you would return to Huai'an. Qing has already hugged her daughter."

The emperor smiled and said, "When are you planning to go back to Huai'an?"

It turned out to be urging myself to go to work!
Shen Yi rolled his eyes in his heart.

It's only the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, and the yamen in the imperial court are still closed, the emperor wants to urge himself to go back to work in Huai'an!

Shen Yi lowered his eyebrows slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, although the New Year is over, the weather is still very cold. It is impossible for Qi people to do anything within a month. Therefore, I have enough time to return to Huai'an. I want to spend time with my family." After the Shangyuan Festival, I set off to return to Huai'an to take charge of Huai'an's defense."

The emperor nodded silently, agreeing to Shen Yi's plan.

After being silent for a while, he opened his mouth and said: "It's freezing cold, it's true that a fight is unlikely, but the march of Northern Qi has never stopped. I received the news yesterday that all the [-] reinforcements from Northern Qi have arrived at the north bank of the Huaihe River. What they call the camp of the Confederate Army."

The emperor sighed softly: "There must be a lot of people, Shen Qing must not slack off."

Shen Yi nodded, and said: "Return to Your Majesty, Liu Mingyuan, the acting commander of the capital, was sent by the minister to the southeast to recruit soldiers in October last year, and now he has recruited about 5000 soldiers in the area of ​​Wenzhou Prefecture Ma, is in training, I have already sent paperwork to Wenzhou Mansion, and they will leave for Huai'an soon."

"At that time, the Huai'an defenders will reach [-]."

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said: "Besides, this year, I have figured out the way of the Qi people, and I am sure that Huai'an will be as solid as gold."

Now, it has been 12 years of Hund.

But this year, Master Shen is no longer thinking about sticking to it.

However, some ideas are too bold. He is telling the emperor now, fearing that the emperor will not be able to accept it for a while.

Therefore, Master Shen avoided talking about it.

Anyway, when he arrived at the border of Huai'an, he, Shen Yi, kept his word, and how he wanted to fight at that time had nothing to do with the court.

It won't be too late to inform the court after doing something big.

The emperor nodded silently, and asked again: "These more than 1 people can be trained in just over two months?"

Master Shen shook his head.

"Your Majesty, two or three months, of course, is not good training, not to mention two or three months, even two or three years, it is difficult to train a strong army."

"However, in many cases, you don't have to be fully trained before you can go to the battlefield."

Shen Yi said in a deep voice: "A fight on the battlefield is better than training for half a month on weekdays."

"From the Anti-Japanese Army, to the Coastal Capital Division, to the current Huai'an garrison, most of them were trained in this way. When I was suppressing the Japanese in the southeast, most of the people who faced the Japanese pirates on the battlefield were A rookie with no experience."

The emperor nodded first, then stretched his waist, and said: "Forget it, you fought very well in Huai'an, so I won't ask about these matters, you can decide for yourself."

Speaking of which, he patted Shen Yi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "This year, you should be smarter when fighting the war, and you can't stick to it. If I can't quarrel with those old things, I won't be able to quarrel with them, so I won't be able to promote you."

"Play better this year. Even if I get through with those old guys, I will get through them. I will promote you, Shen Ziheng, to a third-rank official!"

As expected of a cake brother!
There are cakes, he is a real painter!
Master Shen complained in his heart.

Now, brother cake... It should be said that His Majesty, the ability to draw cakes has become more and more proficient, and even unconsciously, he drew a cake that is big and round, and fed it to Master Shen.

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said: "Yes, I will definitely live up to His Majesty's high expectations!"

The emperor gave Shen Yi a few words, then suddenly smiled and asked: "Shen Qing, how many sons do you have so far, want to go to Huai'an with you?"

Shen Yi was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, at present only the grandson of Jiang Shangshu's family and the second son of Zhao Shangshu's family will go to Huai'an with the minister, the others..."

"I don't know yet."

The emperor narrowed his eyes, nodded and said, "The others are probably not familiar with you."

"However, this is a good thing. At least two of the six films are related to the war. They have fully supported the war in Huai'an."

His Majesty the Emperor patted Master Shen on the shoulder and smiled.

"If Shen Qing wins a few more battles, I'm afraid those old men will try their best to force people into you."

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly when he heard this.

"Your Majesty forbids it, and I dare not ask for it alone."

The emperor smiled playfully: "What if I am right?"

Master Shen also smiled.

"Then, let them manage logistics in Huai'an and do what they can."

The emperor sighed slightly.

"Shen Qing, you still don't see clearly in some things."

The emperor patted Shen Yi's younger generation, and pointed out: "Those old men sent their nephews there just to let you share some of your military achievements with them."

"It's easy too."

Master Shen said calmly, with a calm expression.

"As long as they dare to go to the battlefield, they should have the military merits, and I will not miss them."
