The so-called boa robe is the emperor's uniform with one claw removed.

It's rare to say that this thing is not particularly rare, at least the five old men in Zhongshu have one.

After paying homage to the prime minister, the emperor will give one with a high probability, which can be regarded as a kind of dress, but the prime ministers like to be modest, even if it is a grand court meeting, they seldom wear it.

In addition to the prime minister giving pythons, the ministers of the second rank may also give python robes when the emperor is happy for their meritorious service.

But this thing, for officials of the third rank and below, it is really a rarity!

Especially at Shen Yi's age.

Apart from noble clans and relatives of the emperor, very few people can get the boa robe.

Or to put it more directly, there is only Shen Yi.

It's not surprising to join the Minister of the Ministry of War, it was within Master Shen's expectation, but the gift of the boa robe was beyond his expectation.

Obviously, the emperor was very happy.

Because the minister of the Ministry of War can only quarrel with the ministers, but giving the python robe is the emperor's personal behavior. The emperor can give it to whoever he wants, and the courtiers can't control it.

But in the final analysis, whether it is the title of Minister of the Ministry of War or the python robe, they are all empty, and they are similar to honorary titles or medals, and have no real benefits.

After Mr. Shen kowtowed to thank him, he took the imperial decree with both hands, then patted the dust on his knees, and smiled at Du Huai: "Eunuch Du has worked hard all the way, and went to the big tent to drink tea."

Du Huai cupped his hands towards Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "Shen Yilang's tea, our family naturally wants to take a sip. Tsk, at Shen Shilang's age, he has become a servant and wears a python robe. I have been aged for more than 100 years. Really Unseen."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly: "Eunuch is an acquaintance, I will tell the truth to Eunuch."

"These two items may not be as valuable as my position in the military selection department."

Master Shen sighed, and asked: "Now that I have been given the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, after I return to Jiankang, can I still return to the Military Selection Department to be my doctor?"

Du Huai was taken aback for a moment, then blinked his old eyes, and did not speak.

Shen Yi shook his head by himself: "I'm afraid it's impossible."

"The court, can you really drive out one of the two servants of the Ministry of War, and then put me in the position of servant?"

"I'm afraid it won't work."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi smiled, and said: "To put it bluntly, it's just a little more face-saving."

Du Huai shook his head, and said: "Shen Shilang's words are not right. Da Chen has always been the governor of the local border officials. When he went to Beijing to take office, if there was no war, he would hang on the left and right of the Yushitai. If there is turmoil and war, he will be given the title of Minister of the Ministry of War."

"Shen Shilang is currently holding the title of Minister of the Ministry of War. Although he has no real position, he is already on the same level as the chief official of the feudal border. When he returns to Jiankang in the future, even if he cannot be the Minister of the Ministry of War, he will be as noble as he is. .”

Shen Yi couldn't help laughing, and said: "From ancient times to the present, how can there be a governor in his twenties? Mr. Du, please don't joke."

Du Huai also laughed and said: "Throughout the ages, there has never been a servant in his twenties."

The two of them entered the tent of the Lianshui camp, one behind the other, while Ling Su Xue Wei and others followed behind them, but they did not enter the tent, they just guarded outside.

At this time, Ling Su, although he was standing straight at the gate of Daying, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

But Xue Wei and Su Ding had excitement in their eyes.

After almost a cup of tea, Shen Yi and Du Huai came out of the handsome tent one after the other.

Master Shen cupped his hands at Eunuch Du, and said, "I should have stayed with Eunuch for two days, but Mr. Shen is not in the city now, and the barracks are shabby, so I don't dare to neglect Eunuch, so I won't stay with Eunuch any longer."

Du Huai smiled and said: "Where is it, Shen Shilang has a lot of work to do, so we dare not disturb our family."

Shen Yi smiled and groped around, but couldn't find anything, so he turned to look at General Xue and asked, "Xue Wei, do you have any money? Let me use it."

Xue Wei was taken aback, then reached out and groped in his bosom, found out a few pieces of broken silver and a small piece of gold, and held them in front of Shen Yi.

Master Shen laughed and scolded the poor man, then looked at Ling Su, and said with a smile: "Has General Ling brought any money with him?"

Ling Su hastily took out a piece of gold from his bosom, guessing it was seven or eight taels heavy, bowed his head and said, "Mr. Shen, I don't have any cash with me, why don't you wait a bit, and my subordinate will take it for you?"

Shen Yi shook his head slightly, took the two pieces of gold from the two of them, handed them in front of Du Huai, and said with a smile: "Eunuch Du, there are poor ghosts in my army, you should take this tea money first, don't think it's too little, wait When I return to Jiankang someday, I will treat my father-in-law to a drink."

Eunuch Du looked at the two pieces of gold that were a bit worn out, and seemed a little disgusted. After hesitating for a while, he took out a handkerchief from his bosom to wrap it in, carefully put it in his bosom, bowed his head to Shen Yi, and said with a smile : "If other people give money, our family will never accept it, but today, with Shen Shilang's joy, no matter what the money is, our family will accept it."

Obviously, Eunuch Du looked down on such a small amount of money.

However, when he was in the southeast two years ago, this guy followed Shen Yi in charge of accounts, and his food was full of oil, but now he doesn't care about these small money, so he holds his nose and accepts it.

It's a face to Master Shen.

Shen Yi smiled and said, "I'll see off my father-in-law."

A group of people sent Du Huai away from the Lianshui camp. After Du Huai's chariot and horses had gone far away, Ling Su, Xue Wei and the others half-knelt on the ground with some excitement, and bowed their heads respectfully to Shen Yi: "My subordinates, congratulations!" Lord Shen is promoted!"

Six servants!
Already at the same level as Xiao Jiuqing of the imperial court, one step further, he will be Da Jiuqing!

Master Shen was very modest, with a smile on his face, he waved his hands and said, "It's just a false name, don't make any fuss."

"Since everyone is here, let's discuss the matter."

Soon, all the generals gathered in the handsome tent.

Before Shen Yi could speak, Xue Wei couldn't help but said: "Mr. Shen, what does the python robe that the imperial court gave you look like? You wear it to show the big guys how majestic it is..."

Master Shen glanced at him, and said helplessly: "The boa robes are made to order by the Bureau of Industry. Just now, the little eunuch who accompanied Eunuch Du measured my body. How could it be done so quickly?"

"It's not bad if it can be made within half a year."

Only then did Xue Wei suddenly realize, and said with a smile: "The last general thought he had already prepared it, and sent it along with him."

Seeing him talking and laughing with Shen Yi, Ling Su couldn't help but get a little jealous.

But there is no way, although he can be regarded as Shen Yi's direct descendant, but he is not particularly close, the relationship between the two is always like a subordinate.

Su Ding on the side said with a smile: "In the past, when the last general went to the Military Department of Jiankang, not to mention meeting the Minister's Master, even the head of each department's yamen, he had to rely on his connections to see him."

"Now that Duke Shen is the servant of the Ministry of War, the general will wait until he enters Beijing, so there is no need to find other ways."

Shen Yi squinted his eyes, and said: "I am the Minister of the Ministry of War, and I have no real job. Maybe in the future, my voice in the Ministry of War will not be as loud as before."

Shen Yi used to be a doctor of the Wuxuan Division. As the saying goes, he is the "Four Masters" of the Ministry of War.

But now, if he returns to the Ministry of War, there is a high probability that he will still be the fourth master. After all, although the court has not stated clearly that he is a military officer, it is not appropriate to go back to serve as a secretary.

From then on, Shen Yi's right to speak in the Ministry of War will depend on whether the member Zheng from the Military Selection Department admits it...

After being in a daze for a while, Shen Yi came back to his senses. He looked at the people present, coughed, and said: "Everyone, it has been clearly stated in the imperial edict that this time all the generals of our divisions will record their meritorious service in the Ministry of War. .”

Shen Yi paused, and said: "Although the former made meritorious service on the eastern front, but the western front has held back the people of Qi, and it is also creditable. I will treat them equally here."

"I'm based in Huai'an, and it's been two years. It's been more than half a year now. After one and a half years, I guarantee that everyone here will be promoted to a higher level."

After painting the cake, Shen Yi finally started to talk about business. He coughed and continued: "Today, I invite you to come here to discuss matters. Everyone knows what is discussed, so I won't say more."

"Now, the question before us is whether or not we should take advantage of the Qi people's attack on the Huaihe Navy and go north to meet the Qi people."

Having said that, Master Shen looked around at the crowd and set the tone.

"My opinion is that we still have to fight and touch."

"The more we fight with the Qi people, the more experience we have, and the more we fight, the better we can be strong."

"Even if we can't make a full northward attack for a while, I want to seize every opportunity to make our soldiers stronger. It will never be wrong."

"But how to fight..."

He knocked on the table and said slowly: "Let's discuss a charter together."

He looked at Ling Su and continued: "The soldiers on the western front have never fought the Qi people head-on. In addition, Xue Wei and the others made a contribution last time, so the soldiers on the western front will inevitably feel uncomfortable. The main attack falls on the western front."

"General Ling, do you have any questions?"

Ling Su glanced at everyone, then at Shen Yi, bowed his head and said.

"Master, no problem!"
