Chapter 941 Courageous

After Shen Yi left the Ganlu Hall, His Majesty the Emperor sat silently in his seat in a daze.

It wasn't until Eunuch Gao stood behind him and called softly that His Majesty the Emperor came back to his senses, looked back at Gao Ming, and frowned slightly: "What's the matter?"

Eunuch Gao bowed his head respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for lunch."

The emperor let out an "oh", then stood up from the chair, stretched his muscles and bones, and went to the side hall for dinner.

The emperor didn't even eat well for this meal. He would often start to be in a daze after two mouthfuls of food.

After eating this meal for half an hour, the emperor wiped his mouth and returned silently to the study of Ganlu Palace.

His Majesty the Emperor, who takes a nap almost every day, didn't even take a nap today.

Eunuch Gao frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there are still three or four people who will enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit this afternoon. Would you like to sleep for a while?"

Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Although the court does not go to work, many people still have to enter the palace to meet the emperor and kowtow to the emperor.

Among these people, there are relatives and ministers, in short, they are some people who are not easy to see.

The emperor nodded, then suddenly looked back at Eunuch Gao, and asked, "Gao Ming, what kind of person do you think Shen Yi is?"

Gao Ming thought for a while and replied: "This servant thinks that Shen Shilang is a..."

"A capable minister."

The emperor glared at Gao Ming angrily.

"He has done so many things over the years, I don't know he is a capable minister? I am asking you, Shen Yi's character..."

"wrong."

The emperor shook his head, and changed the word: "It should be called disposition, what do you think of his disposition?"

Eunuch Gao carefully glanced at the emperor, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Your Majesty, what did you talk to Shen Shilang about just now?"

In the morning, when the emperor had a secret conversation with Shen Yi, eunuch Gao was playing with Li Wang, but he was not able to listen in the Ganlu Palace, so he really didn't know.

The emperor took a deep breath and said, "He wants power from me."

"To be precise, it is..."

The emperor narrowed his eyes: "I want to delegate power to him."

Gao Ming thought for a while, then bowed his head and said: "I don't know what power Shen Shilang wants, but seeing your majesty's hesitation, it should be a lot of power. This servant thinks that as long as your majesty hesitates a little, this power will not be insignificant." It should be given to Shen Shilang."

The emperor glared at Gao Ming, and said in a muffled voice: "Who asked you this? I'm asking you, how is Shen Yi's temperament?"

"Shen Shilang is a very smart person, but..."

Eunuch Gao bowed his head and said: "This servant feels that sometimes he is too eager to do things and is a little impatient."

"Well."

The emperor nodded, he didn't know if he had listened. He leaned on the soft couch, but he couldn't fall asleep. He stayed up until the afternoon, and people entered the palace to kowtow to him one after another.

As soon as His Majesty the Emperor met, after seeing the fourth person, it was almost evening. His Majesty the Emperor yawned profusely, still sitting in his chair in a daze.

When the sky was about to darken, the eunuch Gao hurried to His Majesty's side again, and said, "Your Majesty, Shen Shilang is asking to see you outside the palace."

The emperor was taken aback: "Didn't you just come in the morning? Why are you here again now?"

Gao Ming shook his head: "I don't know either."

The emperor thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "Let him in."

A moment later, Master Shen reappeared in the Palace of Ganlu, holding a document in his hand, knelt down in front of the emperor, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have written a letter of apology."

The emperor smiled dumbly: "What is Shen Qing's crime?"

Shen Yi breathed out a foul breath, lowered his head and said: "This morning, I entered the palace to face the saint, and said a lot of things that should not be said. After I went back, I thought about it and felt that I should not say it anyway, so I apologize, please His Majesty punishes."

Shen Yi bowed his head and said: "In the morning, the third method that I said, I beg your majesty to pretend that you didn't hear it. It's all nonsense, and you can't really act according to the law."

The emperor smiled, and said, "Why, Shen Qing is going to change her tune?"

Shen Yi looked up at the emperor, then lowered his head and said, "Yes, I'm going to change my mind."

The emperor walked down the imperial steps, stretched out his hand to help Shen Yi up, and said with a smile, "What? After Shen Qing went back, she went to see my God of Wealth and was scolded by him?"

"You feel scared, so you rush into the palace to see me and plead guilty, don't you?"

Shen Yi stood up, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I didn't go to see Uncle Zhao. After returning home, I thought about it myself. Since the court has laws, I can't break the rules."

"This battle... there cannot be a third way of fighting."

The emperor smiled and said: "So, Shen Qing said in the morning that I will take back Shandong within two years, so it doesn't matter?"

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said, "I don't count."

Hearing this, the Son of Heaven shook his head first, and then sighed: "You, too, have lost your vigor."

After saying this, the emperor himself moved a small pier and sat in front of Shen Yi. He waved to Gao Ming, who immediately understood and moved a chair for Shen Yi.

After the monarch and his subjects were seated, the emperor also sighed, and said, "Shen Qing, I've been thinking about what you said this morning for a whole day, and I'm out of my mind."

"The third method you mentioned, I can allow you, but the court can't allow you, especially those civil servants, if they know, they will poke your spine and scold you to death."

"Therefore, let's make a compromise."

He said softly: "This year, the Huaihe Navy will not move according to Shen Qing's will, and the Northern Expedition will be handed over to the Huai'an Army. According to the imperial decree here, you can only act cheaply in the north of the Huaihe River..."

"As for conscription on the spot, battle gains, and all kinds of other things..."

The emperor said softly: "You can't write these things on paper, otherwise the court will make things difficult for you, and the honorable clan will call me stupid."

Shen Yi nodded quickly: "Your Majesty, minister... just fight normally."

The emperor shook his head slightly: "Listen to me."

He patted Shen Yi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I can trust you, Shen Qing. If you don't have the status of a monarch and minister, you and I should be able to become friends."

"But since I have inherited my ancestor's family business, I have to be more cautious about some things."

"I promise you to act cheaply, but I told you in advance that I will send the supervisor to your army."

The emperor paused, then said with a smile: "But since it's a compromise, I can't ask you to conquer Shandong in two to three years. You can fight as you like, as long as you don't suffer and you can beat the people of Qi."

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly, leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

The emperor stood up and rubbed his sore shoulders.

Shen Yi also stood up and followed behind the emperor.

As the emperor walked, he said, "I think it's a bit inappropriate to say how many places have been laid down in a few years. Once there are framework constraints, it is very likely that the frontline soldiers will be impatient."

"Secondly, give people a handle."

The emperor looked back at Shen Yi, and said, "What does Qing Qing think?"

Shen Yi nodded and let out a breath of white air.

"Yes, I am eager for quick success."

The emperor patted Shen Yi's arm, and said with a smile: "The so-called employing people is not suspicious, but doubting people is not."

"I have used Shen Qing a lot, and I have never believed it."

"The Northern Expedition is a big undertaking. If you and my monarch and ministers cannot work together, it may be difficult to accomplish."

Shen Yi nodded and said: "It's not just that His Majesty and the ministers work together, the whole court must work together."

"That's a good word."

The emperor shook his head slightly, and said with emotion: "It's just that thousands of people in the court have thousands of thoughts. This is easier said than done."

"Life is selfish, and it is inevitable for thousands of people to think about it. Your Majesty only needs to coordinate the general direction."

The emperor sighed again: "I'm afraid it won't be easy."

"The direction of profit is the direction of people's hearts."

Shen Yi followed behind the emperor, and said, "As long as the Northern Expedition is beneficial to the majority of people in the court, we will naturally be united."

The emperor nodded and said with a smile: "Then it's up to you, Shen Qing."

"First lay down a few state capitals, let them see the real benefits."

Shen Yi bowed his head respectfully: "I will do my best."

…………

After it got dark, Shen Yi left the Ganlu Hall.

Although it was the first month of winter, but when Master Shen walked out of the Ganlu Hall, his back was almost soaked.

Even Gao Ming, who sent him off, had some confusion on his face, as if he was curious, with Shen Yi's intelligence, how could he say that kind of thing to the emperor in the morning.

After leaving the imperial city, Shen Yi did not go home, but brought a pot of wine, bought some side dishes, came to Dayi Square, and found old man Gu who was drinking alone in the school.

Shen Yi stepped forward, put down the food and drink, and cupped his hands at old man Gu: "Thank you, Teacher Gu, for breaking the maze, otherwise the students might really do something wrong!"

After leaving the Temple of Manna in the morning, although Shen Yi faintly felt that what he said was a bit radical, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him.

Because for him, being able to fight mobile warfare, annihilation warfare, and develop and strengthen one's own strength within the enemy is the combat method that can best use one's abilities.

But when he left Ganlu Hall, brought food and wine to visit Old Man Gu, and after chatting for a few words during the meal, Old Man Gu scolded him and asked Shen Yi to enter the palace immediately to plead guilty!
At that time, Shen Yi didn't even reveal much to the old man, but just said something to him.

"If we can gain a firm foothold in the north and enlist Han Chinese from all over Qi to join the army, then the Northern Expedition can be expected."

These were Shen Yi's original words at the time.

With just this small talk, old man Gu's expression changed drastically, and he became angry with Shen Yi.

After thinking about it, Shen Yi also felt scared, so he hurried home and wrote an apology document, and hurried into the palace, wanting to make amends back.

He was indeed in a hurry.

I was so anxious that I violated a taboo and said something that shouldn't be said.

Old man Gu took the wine Shen Yi handed over, smelled it, poured himself a bowl, and snorted softly: "Fortunately, today's character is quite open-minded, if you are a suspicious emperor, Shen Qi will never think about it in this life." Really reused!"

Shen Yi lowered his head and took a sip of wine: "Is it so serious?"

Old man Gu let out a "hum hum".

"Restore the old place, return to the old capital..."

"These eight characters sound like they are bigger than the sky."

The old man raised his head and took a sip of his wine, then looked at Shen Yi and sneered.

"If it's really too big, why did Emperor Sejong rush to the south?"

"If the unification of China is really so important, Mrs. Li would have..."

Shen Yi coughed violently, interrupted the old man's speech, and his expression became unsightly.

"Mr. Gu also said that I was bold in the morning."

Master Shen looked left and right with lingering fear, and whispered: "You are much more courageous than me!"

In the winter night, the old man's white hair was fluttering, and he laughed.

"What are you afraid of, how many years can this old man live?"
