Chapter 937 Dangerous (Fill)

What Master Lu said is indeed a problem that Shen Yi will have to face in the future.

Because with the advancement of the Northern Expedition...assuming that the Northern Expedition can proceed smoothly, Shen Yi's power and strength will definitely grow stronger and stronger. In this case, he may have some natural conflicts with the court.

This kind of contradiction will naturally arise from the ground.

However, judging from the current situation, His Majesty the Emperor is a relatively enlightened and confident emperor. As long as Emperor Hongde is in power, Shen Yi does not need to worry too much about this issue.

Master Lu turned his head and rummaged through his bookshelf for a while, then found a book that was already dusty, dusted it off, put it in front of Shen Yi, and said: "This book is called "Jin Shen". It was written by a prime minister in the previous dynasty, it was not published, but hand-copied over a dozen copies have been circulated, and there is some truth in it, you take it back and take it with you, and you can read it when you have nothing to do."

Master Lu paused, and added: "Let's just talk to relieve boredom."

Shen Yi took the book with both hands, put it in his arms, and said with a smile: "Now the court is still clear, and today is also a wise emperor, and the situation is not as bad as my teacher thought."

Lu Anshi looked at his son-in-law, and said softly: "It's precisely because I am a Mingjun today, that you have to think more before doing things, and be careful."

Shen Yi nodded, and said "Yes": "The teacher taught, and the students have written it down."

After saying this, Weng and his son-in-law agreed tacitly not to mention this matter. Master Lu also poured a cup of tea for Shen Yi and asked, "Ziheng is leaving tomorrow?"

"Yes."

Shen Yi nodded slightly and said: "The new year is coming soon, and Zichang's marriage is approaching. There are many things in Jiankang that the students need to go back to. This time, it is not my father who was left behind by the uncle. The students probably will not come back to Jiangdu."

Hearing these words, Master Lu rummaged through his closet for a while, and then took out a wooden box. The wooden box was shiny with oil, and it looked like it had been wiped frequently.

"This is a pen that I like very much. It is made of rabbit hair. I have never been willing to use it. Zichang is also a student of my teacher. He is going to get married. I have nothing to give him as a teacher. This pen will last for you. Take it to Jiankang and pass it on to him as your teacher."

"Tell him another time."

Mr. Lu stroked his beard and said, "He is about to fill the vacancy and become an official. From now on, many people's food, clothing, housing, transportation, and even their lives will be tied to his pen. Before asking him to write, he must be cautious."

Shen Yi bowed his head respectfully and took it.

"Students take note."

"On behalf of Zichang, thank you teacher..."

………………

Early the next morning, Shen Yi and his father got into the carriage and returned to Jiankang.

Here at the big house of the Shen family, Shen Ling and his wife also followed.

It was already the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and because there were only two days before the end of the new year, the carriage had to travel at least a hundred miles a day to reach Jiankang.

After traveling in a carriage for a day, it was really too late, so Shen Yi could only ride back to Jiankang with his father on horseback.

Fortunately, Shen Zhang is not very old, and when he was in charge of the Prince Jin's Mansion in the early years, he often rode horses, which was not a difficult task.

What was a little troublesome was that Mrs. Shen was born as a lady, and she really didn't know how to ride a horse, so Shen Ling rode with her, and finally dared to rush back to Jiankang on the morning of the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month.

At this moment, Jiankang is full of New Year's flavor, and there are lights and festoons everywhere. After Shen Yi and his party returned to Shen's mansion, Shen Heng and others were already waiting at the door. After seeing his father, this Tanhualang was quite excited , stepped forward and knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Shen Zhang and saluted: "Meet my father."

Shen Zhang reached out to help him up, patted his youngest son on the shoulder, and said nothing.

After Shen Heng got up, he bowed his head to Shen Yi again, cupped his hands and said with tears, "Thank you, brother!"

Shen Yi picked him up immediately, patted his arm heavily, and said with a smile: "It's Chinese New Year, why are you crying? Mother-in-law."

Tan Hualang wiped away his tears, then went to salute Shen Ling and his wife, the family entered the house, the food was ready, and after a long journey, everyone was hungry, sitting at the dining table and gorging.

After eating, Mrs. Shen went to talk to Lu Ruoxi, while Shen Ling found Shen Yi and Shen Heng brothers, and asked if there was anything that needed help with the marriage.

After the three brothers discussed together for a while, Shen Yi stood up to Shen Zhang and said, "Father, today is thirty years old, and you can still walk around. Would you like to meet the Chen family and discuss with them about the fifth day of the new year?" Rules."

"Secondly, tell them that you are back, so that they can feel at ease."

Because they wanted to marry their daughter to Tan Hualang, the Chen family came to Jiankang years ago, and were arranged by Lu Ruoxi to live in the Shen family's original house.

Since Shen Zhang has come back, it means that he will not obstruct the marriage any more, so he nodded happily and went to discuss the marriage with the Chen family.

And the three Shen Yi brothers started to go to Dongshi Street to buy things and decorate their homes.

For the banquet that day, Lu Ruoxi had already contacted her, so there was no need for Brother Shen Yi to worry about it.

After working all afternoon, in the evening, Shen Yi and Lu Ruoxi and his wife changed into official uniforms and official uniforms, and went into the palace.

Because today is New Year's Eve, according to the rules of the imperial court, His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress will host a banquet in the palace, respectively hosting civil and military officials and the women of Beijing.

Everyone will be together, eat and drink, have a lot of fun, and celebrate the New Year together.

The wives ate in the harem, while the officials ate in the Deqing Palace. After the banquet was almost finished, Shen Yi just wanted to get up and go home with his wife, when he saw Eunuch Gao approaching from a distance.

When he saw Gao Ming, he probably understood in his heart that he was going to work overtime.

A moment later, Master Shen appeared in the apse of Deqing Palace, standing behind His Majesty the Emperor.

At this moment, Emperor Hongde smelled heavily of alcohol because he drank a lot of wine. He looked at the night outside the window with his hands behind his back, and let out a breath of white air.

"After tonight, it will be Hongde's 13th year."

"It's been 13 years since I ascended the throne."

Shen Yi leaned slightly and said, "The Holy Son of Heaven has only ruled the court for seven years, yet our court has faint signs of revival, which shows His Majesty's sageness."

The emperor smiled dumbly, looked back at Shen Yi, and asked, "Did Shen Qing go back to her hometown in the past two days?"

"Yes."

Shen Yi bowed his head and said, "I went back on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, and I just rushed back to Jiankang today."

The emperor let out a "huh" and asked, "Is there something urgent to go back?"

"Some household chores."

Shen Yi said with some helplessness: "Although it's not a big deal, but it involves elders, it's not good to pretend to others, and I can only go back by myself to deal with it."

Hearing the words, the emperor was thoughtful at first, then frowned slightly and said: "Shen Qing is already one of the six ministers, so it can be said that he is a high-ranking official. The elders in your family are so ignorant, why are you still in trouble?"

"It's not that I have trouble with my minister."

Shen Yi lowered his head and said with a wry smile: "It's my younger brother's marriage. The elders are not satisfied, so they want to intervene."

"Shen Zichang..."

The emperor nodded and said, "I heard Gao Ming mention that he got married on the fifth day of the lunar new year, and his fiancée is a peasant girl, isn't it?"

Shen Yi nodded.

The emperor smiled: "That's indeed a bit wronged, after all, he is the Tanhua Lang hand-picked by me."

Shen Yi lowered his hands and said: "My younger brother likes that woman, and that woman also likes my younger brother. Since the two love each other, I think there is nothing wrong with it."

Hearing Shen Yi's words, the emperor was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly, and sighed: "Shen Qing is right, it's more important to be in love with each other, sometimes I envy you two brothers very much."

"Wives are the ones you like, not like my wife..."

Master Shen coughed quickly.

"His Majesty…"

The emperor came to his senses and laughed at himself: "I understand, don't say what you shouldn't say."

Having said that, he looked back at Shen Yi, and said, "In the future, Shen Qing should be more careful when going out. This morning, the inner guard reported to me through Gao Ming, saying that there were three groups of people who wanted to assassinate Shen Qing this time when he returned to Jiangdu. You were all stopped by the inner guards one by one."

"Although the internal guards may not have the suspicion of asking for credit, it shows that Shen Qing is in danger now, so be careful when you go out."

Hearing this, Shen Yi also felt awe-inspiring.

Three groups of people assassinated him, but he himself was unconscious!
If it weren't for the inner guard, he might be in some danger.

Master Shen lowered his head slightly, and sighed: "It seems that the Department of Cleanliness really hates me."

"It's not just the Northern Qi's Department of Purity who bears a grudge against Shen Qing?"

The emperor turned his head, patted Shen Yi on the shoulder, and smiled.

"I know you are busy at home, so I won't bother you. When Shen Zichang's marriage is over, you remember to go to the palace. I have many things to discuss with you."

Master Shen cupped his hands respectfully.

"My minister obeys..."
