marquis of jingan

Chapter 928

The python robe given to Shen Yi by the emperor has been distributed for several months, but Shen Yi has never worn it. After all, it is somewhat conspicuous when worn.

But now, the emperor actually told him to wear a python robe to the palace.

Master Shen looked at the old boss in front of him, blinked his eyes: "Could it be that Tang Zun is bluffing me? How can the emperor order his subordinates to dress?"

Jiang Shangshu said with a smile: "What does the old man say, he is also ranked in the Great Nine Ministers, how can he have the leisure to coax you? The word has already reached, whether you wear it or not is your business."

After Shen Yi thought for a while, he nodded slightly: "The next official is of course Xintangzun."

Having said that, Master Shen paused, looked back at the carriage behind him, and said with a smile: "Young Master Jiang is in the carriage behind the official at the moment, but he is not seriously injured, and he is a little too timid. Do you want to go see him?"

Jiang Jian glanced at the carriage behind Shen Yi, and snorted: "Is there any reason for the old man to see him?"

Master Shen stretched out his hand to pull the sleeve of the Da Jiuqing, and said with a smile: "After all, he was injured, it's okay for Tang Zun to go and see him, so as not to break the rules."

With Shen Yi pulling Jiang Jian, the little old man finally had a step down, and his relationship with Jiang Ming wasn't too bad, and he didn't get into a stalemate like Zhao Er and Zhao Changping. When he opened the curtain, Jiang Ming who was in the carriage hurriedly got out of the carriage, knelt down in front of Jiang Jian without saying a word, and kowtowed.

"Father!"

He was seriously injured, but now he has basically recovered, at least free movement is not a problem.

Jiang Shangshu looked at his grandson who was kneeling on the ground, and then at Jiang Ming's already dark skin. He was also touched in his heart. He stretched out his hand to help Jiang Ming, and sighed slightly: "At the beginning, the whole family refused to let you go. If you have to go, it’s better now, do you know how powerful it is?”

"It's a good thing you came back alive, otherwise Elder Father wouldn't know how to explain to your parents."

Jiang Ming raised his head to look at Jiang Jian, then lowered his head and said, "Father, my grandson just came back to visit relatives and spend a New Year at home. After the New Year, I have to go back to Huai'an as an errand."

Jiang Shangshu's face darkened, and he looked back at Shen Yi.

Master Shen smiled slightly, and said: "Tang Zun, this is a family matter of your family, and the lower official still has imperial orders, so I will rush to the palace, and Tang Zun will handle it by himself."

After all, Shen Yi ignored the grandpa and grandson, found a horse by himself, got on the horse and ran back home.

Because it was the twelfth lunar month of winter, there was no smell on his body, and it was too late, after Shen Yi returned home, he only washed his face with hot water and asked Lu Ruoxi to comb his hair. Before he had time to take a bath, he changed into that suit The python robe that has never been worn before is ready to enter the palace.

This boa robe was tailor-made for him by the needlework bureau, and it fit him naturally. However, these clothes are a bit cumbersome to put on. The couple worked hard for a cup of tea before Shen Yi put on the clothes.

At this moment, because of Liulichang, glass mirrors have begun to appear in Jiankang City. Although they have not spread widely, they are only spread among the rich and powerful, but the Shen family naturally has them, and the ones in Lu Ruoxi's room This glass mirror is the best batch of floor-to-ceiling mirrors that Liulichang has made recently, and it was sent by Xu Fu himself.

Standing in front of this floor-to-ceiling mirror, Shen Yi looked at himself in the mirror. Although his skin was a little darker than before, he was embroidered with four-clawed dragons on his body, and his clothes fit him well. He was tall and handsome again. good.

Mrs. Shen at the side froze in place after tidying up Shen Yi's clothes, silently looking at the majestic figure in front of him who was tall and straight and dressed in python robes, she was a little crazy for a while.

After Shen Yi looked at himself in the mirror, he looked at Lu Ruoxi, and said with a smile: "Ma'am, is it still pleasing to the eye for showing off your husband?"

Mrs. Shen stretched out her hand to help him straighten his collar, and said softly: "Fortunately, when I was in Jiangdu, my husband didn't look like this."

Shen Yi smiled and asked: "Why? The madam back then didn't like this dress?"

Lu Ruoxi shook her head slightly, squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "Otherwise, how can I get the concubine's turn?"

There is nothing that makes a man more happy than his wife saying such words. Even Shen Yi couldn't help grinning, kissed his wife on the cheek, and said with a smile: "Madam, wait for me at home." , to subdue demons for your husband, go and return."

Lu Ruoxi sent him to the door of the bedroom, and said softly: "You, speak out."

"If people hear you say that about the ministers in the court, they must join you."

Master Shen smiled and said: "Madam don't tell me, how do they know who is a monster?"

After finishing speaking, Master Shen waved his hand at his wife, turned around and strode away from his mansion.

Shen's residence on Datong Street is very close to the imperial city. Shen Yi didn't even need to take a carriage anymore. He just walked to the entrance of the imperial city, and then entered the palace unimpeded. He lived all the way to the entrance of Deqing Palace. Standing obediently at the gate of the palace, waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to summon him.

At this time, the time is already Sishizheng.

The court meeting on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month has already been going on for an hour and a half.

Da Chen's rule is that there is a small court every five days, and a big court every ten days. Because this court meeting is the last small court meeting before the end of the year, there are many things to discuss, so this hour and a half is not idle. Still quite filling.

His Majesty the Emperor sat high on the throne, and quietly stopped the servants below, who were blushing because of a certain matter.

However, he generally does not express his own opinions. As the top decision maker, sometimes he has to be mysterious in order to be able to coax people and calm down the situation.

The scale of the small court meeting is much smaller than that of the big court meeting. Generally, officials of the third rank or above participate. In special cases, officials from the relevant yamen will also be called to discuss the matter.

However, although the scale is small, many things, especially the more critical personnel appointments, are completed at the Xiaochao meeting. For some important positions, the emperor will ask everyone to recommend candidates, and then "vote" together to decide.

This method of personnel appointment is called "Ting Tui".

So in the officialdom, the fifth rank is a threshold, and the third rank is even more of a threshold, because only after reaching the third rank can one be regarded as a real high-level official in the imperial court, who can speak on some matters, or have the power to vote with a show of hands.

When the ministers were discussing enthusiastically, the eunuch Gao moved slightly closer to the emperor, and whispered something in the emperor's ear. The emperor's eyes lit up immediately after hearing the words, and his whole body became much more energetic.

At this moment, the Xiaochaohui was discussing next year's expenditures, and Zhao Changping, the Minister of the Household Department, was talking with all the officials, and his saliva was splashing all over the place.

His Majesty the Emperor coughed slightly.

As a result, the hall immediately fell silent, and everyone bowed down one after another, bowing their heads and saying, "Your Majesty."

At this time, theoretically speaking, it is time for the emperor to make a final decision, or to leave this matter to a certain person for decision.

However, His Majesty just squinted his eyes and smiled, and then said: "The Ministry of Household Affairs has already drafted the expenditure of the imperial court next year. Don't be impatient, there are still a few days before the end of the year, and it should be settled before the thirtieth."

"These bad things, let's wait for a while and put them aside for discussion."

Speaking of this, the emperor smiled at the ministers: "Next, I will tell you a happy thing."

He stood up slowly, looked around at the ministers, and said indifferently: "The Minister of the Ministry of War is back."

After all, the emperor smiled and waved his hand.

Eunuch Gao immediately took a step forward and sang loudly: "It is said that the Huai'an imperial envoy overseer, Shen Yi, the servant of the Ministry of War, will enter the palace to see you."

Following Eunuch Gao's singing, Shen Yi, who had been waiting outside the hall for a long time, immediately stepped in.

At this time, the time just entered noon.

When Shen Yi stepped into the Deqing Palace, the noon sun shone on the python robe he was wearing, and the golden thread embroidered with Jackie Chan on the python robe immediately shone brightly, even a little dazzlingly.

Some officials in the palace who were close to him even felt that it was a bit dazzling, so they covered their eyes with their hands.

Shen Shilang dressed in a python robe entered the main hall, knelt on the ground respectfully, bowed his head and kowtowed: "Shen Yi from the Ministry of Defense, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

It wasn't until this time that everyone in the hall could clearly see the four-claw python robe on Shen Yi's body.

Even though all the people present here are basically senior officials of the third rank or above, and each of them is a bigwig of the imperial court, an important minister among the important ministers, but seeing this outfit, I still can't help being a little jealous.

Many people didn't blink their eyes, they stared straight at the clothes on Shen Yi's body.

There were only five prime ministers, still not squinting.

The five old men also have this kind of clothes, but they just don't wear them on weekdays.

Of course, what envied the ministers was not only Shen Yi's clothes, but also the emperor's address for Shen Yi.

My Minister of War!

These words sounded intimate, and they were totally different from other courtiers.

Seeing Shen Yi kneeling on the ground, His Majesty the Emperor walked down the imperial steps himself, stretched out his hand to help Shen Yi up, he patted the dust that didn't exist on Shen Yi, and smiled all over his face: "Ai Qing can be regarded as coming back, Ai Qing is here You have made great achievements in resisting the enemy and defending the land, I am in Jiankang, and I have been looking forward to you for a long time."

The emperor's words were not loud, but enough to spread throughout the palace.

And these words also set the tone for Shen Yi's achievements in Huai'an this time.

Shen Yi is a great hero who resisted the enemy and defended the land. No one here can deny this.

Hearing the emperor's words, several prime ministers bowed their hands to Shen Yi one after another.

"Shen Shilang guarded the land and resisted the enemy, defeated the Qi army, and made outstanding achievements."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for being such a good minister!"

"The revival of the Holy Dynasty is just around the corner..."

Several prime ministers spoke in unison, and other ministers bowed their hands to Shen Yi and the emperor one after another.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for being such a good minister!"

Surrounded by everyone, Shen Yi felt goose bumps all over his body.

He looked back at the five old fellows who were looking at Zhongshu, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

These old guys... they speak so sloppily, they probably prepared words in advance...

Moreover, more than one set of words has been prepared!
