marquis of jingan

Chapter 932

Zhao Shangshu took a sip of tea, looked up at Shen Yi, thoughtfully: "Isn't it settled yet?"

Master Shen shook his head silently, and said: "Nowadays, because of the meritorious service of the former Huaihe Navy, the imperial court is not easy to move them. With the strength of the Huai'an Army, it is not enough for the Northern Expedition. We will only know next year. but…"

Shen Yi smiled at Zhao Changping: "However, I think the overall situation is optimistic. Your Majesty is also thinking about the Northern Expedition. The so-called good from the top must be followed by the bottom. As long as your Majesty thinks so, sooner or later the Northern Expedition will happen."

After a pause, he continued: "What's more, if my nephew continues to go to Huai'an to take charge next year, then regardless of the Northern Expedition or not, I will always get back some of the cowardice I suffered this year."

Zhao Changping has been working in the household department for many years, and he still doesn't know much about military affairs, so he didn't continue to ask, but asked: "Ziheng, tell me the truth, how is the second child in Huai'an?"

"Uncle knows me, what do I say, the second brother is in Huai'an, and it is indeed different from before. In the past few months, he has been in charge of logistics in Huai'an, and basically he has not made any mistakes."

"Second brother is very smart, as long as he is willing to work hard, he can do things well."

Zhao Changping nodded silently, sighed and said, "Ziheng, you have a good personal relationship with him, but I'm afraid that you will protect him in Huai'an, but he will hold you back instead."

"That won't happen."

Shen Yi said with a smile: "If the second brother really messes around in Huai'an, I won't give him face, and I will definitely send him back to Jiankang."

"Ah."

Zhao Changping nodded, then looked at Shen Yi, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "In the past one or two years, the officials in Jiankang City have been wanting to get to know you, and many people have come to see me and asked After this incident, Ziheng, look..."

"At this year's end, do you want to go out and participate in poetry and literature meetings, or have dinner and drinks with them?"

Hearing these words, Shen Yi's heart moved slightly.

He understood that Zhao Shangshu wanted to share himself, or the contacts of Ganquan Academy, with him.

It can even be said that it is "alleged" to oneself.

Because Song Ying, the son-in-law of the Zhao family, was not from Ganquan Academy, Zhao Shangshu could devote his political resources to his son-in-law, but people in the academy might not recognize Song Ying.

Therefore, the identity of "academic talker" also needs to be passed on. From the current point of view, only two people are suitable.

One is Zhang Jian and the other is Shen Yi.

But Zhang Jian has never studied in Ganquan Academy, he is a student of Zhao Changping, and he can only be regarded as a student of half of the academy.

Originally, Zhao Shangshu's plan was to choose one of the seven sons of Ganquan when he was old, to inherit the network of the academy and the identity of the head of the academy, but now, Shen Yi has suddenly emerged...

As a serious academy student, and also a disciple of Lu Shanzhang, son-in-law, now in his 20s, he is an official of the third grade, and he has a very good character, mature and prudent, in Zhao Shangshu's opinion, Shen Yi is undoubtedly better heir.

After Shen Yi thought about it, he still shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Master, there is no need to worry about this matter. Now my nephew is leading the army abroad, and it is not good to know too many civil servants. One day in the future, my nephew will return to serve in the court. It’s not too late to get to know the seniors of the academy slowly.”

He smiled and said: "Anyway, you are in the prime of life, and you will have opportunities to introduce them to me in the future."

Zhao Changping thought for a while, then nodded and said: "What Ziheng said is that you are leading a heavy army outside now, so it is really not good to make friends with civil servants too much."

He smiled and said: "There are more than 20 disciples from our academy, and there are more than [-] in Jiankang City alone, and there are many more in other places..."

"In the future, I will introduce you slowly."

Speaking of this, Zhao Shangshu paused, and said, "Ziheng, there is something that Master wants to remind you of."

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly: "Master, teach me."

"You can think of not making friends with civil servants, which is good, but someone's identity is more sensitive, and you have a good personal relationship with him, so don't meet this person if you can."

Shen Yi understood that what Zhao Shangshu was talking about was Li Mu, the son of King Jin.

He nodded silently, and said: "My uncle's teachings, my nephew has memorized them."

On this day, the three members of Shen Yi's family stayed at Zhao Shangshu's mansion until late at night, and then came in a carriage and returned to their home.

When they got home, Shen Yuan had already fallen asleep in Shen Yi's arms. The husband and wife carefully put him on the bed, and took another look at Shen Sangsang, who was already asleep, before returning to the bedroom.

In the bedroom, the most conspicuous thing was the floor-to-ceiling glass mirror that Xu Fu sent. Lu Ruoxi turned around and lit the candles in the room. Standing in front of Shen Yi, she looked at Shen Yi's clothes, smiling all over her face.

"My husband's clothes, the more I look at them, the more I like them."

Shen Yi pinched her nose and said with a smile: "Your Majesty said today that he will make you a third-rank imperial lady. When your imperial order is accepted, you will also wear it and go out to wander around in the street."

Mrs. Shen said with a smile: "The royal clothes are only worn when the empress is summoned. If you wear them on weekdays, won't you be laughed at?"

Master Shen gave her a blank look: "Then why aren't you afraid of being laughed at as your husband?"

The couple made a few jokes, Lu Ruoxi remembered the business, and asked: "By the way, husband, the new year is coming soon, will father-in-law come to Jiankang for the new year?"

Hearing this, Shen Yi frowned slightly, then shook his head and said, "I don't know yet."

"I wrote a letter to my father a few days ago, and I only received a reply two days ago. My father said..."

"Uncle is very ill. He has been lying in bed for several months."

"He said in the letter that this New Year's Eve is estimated to be spent in Jiangdu with Uncle."

Lu Ruoxi frowned when she heard the words, she said softly: "This is troublesome, the fifth day of the lunar new year is my uncle's wedding, everyone from the Chen family has to come to Jiankang to prepare, if the father-in-law can't come back by then, The family members of the Chen family will inevitably misunderstand, and they will lose face."

The marriage between Shen Heng and Chen Youniang has gone through ups and downs.

During this period, father Shen Zhang was not very satisfied.

The Chen family naturally knew this too.

If Shen Zhang was not present on the day of the wedding, then the two families would lose face, and the Chen family would inevitably think that Shen Zhang was showing embarrassment to them.

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly, said "hmm", then squinted his eyes, and said slowly: "It depends on the situation, but I will go back to Jiangdu tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to see what's wrong with uncle and what's wrong with father. Can't come back."

Seeing his appearance, Lu Ruoxi knew that Shen Yi was angry, so she pulled Shen Yi's sleeve, and said, "Husband, we can't get angry with the elders, this matter is better to be gentle, if not, write a letter to my father." Write a letter, ask father to go to Shen's house, and persuade father."

"Anyway, uncle is also my father's student, so it's reasonable for father to take care of this matter."

"Don't trouble your teacher."

Shen Yi took off the python robe on his body, sat on the edge of the bed, and said with a smile: "Anyway, Jiankang is only two hundred miles away from Jiangdu, and it will take a day to ride a horse. If there is no news from Jiangdu tomorrow, I will go back to Jiangdu." Let’s go to Jiangdu and bring my father back.”

"Tomorrow is the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. Don't delay our family's New Year's Eve."

Lu Ruoxi frowned worriedly, she sat next to Shen Yi, pulled Shen Yi's sleeve, and said softly: "I'm afraid that you will get angry with them, and the quarrel will be unpleasant, the third brother's family is kind to our family, and the quarrel with uncle is stiff Yes, in the future with third brother, I will lose face."

Shen Yi nodded silently, patted the back of Lu Ruoxi's hand, and said softly: "Don't worry, I know what's in my heart."

"It's just that Zichang got married, and my father had to come back. As the eldest brother, I have to take care of it."

"Moreover…"

Master Shen smiled: "Where is my temper as bad as you think? If Uncle is really sick, how can I show them face?"

Mrs. Shen's autumn water was rippling, and she glanced at Shen Yi lightly.

"Then who's right?"

Master Shen put his arms around Lu Ruoxi's waist, and said with a smile: "We'll talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow, now it's time to deal with today's affairs."

With that, he blew out the candle.

In the dark night, Mrs. Shen's voice of reproach came.

"There is no shape..."
