Chapter 944 Big Scene (Happy Dragon Boat Festival!)

Originally, Shen Yi didn't think much of these yamen princes in Jiankang City, thinking that they were useless except for sleeping with women in the Qinhuai River.

But through Zhao Jizhou and Jiang Ming, Shen Yi has slightly changed his view of these second-generation ancestors.

I dare not say that all the second-generation ancestors, at least some of the second-generation ancestors who took the initiative to join the army in the Northern Expedition, still have some blood on them.

Of course, if there were people who were willing to go north with Jiang Ming, Shen Yi would not be able to use them like Jiang Ming did when they were in the army. He would probably put them in the rear army and let them hang around.

What Master Shen really wants is not how much credit these second-generation ancestors can make, but the energy behind them.

After all, if the Northern Expedition wants to succeed, it must first unite all forces that can be united.

Jiang Ming nodded immediately, cupped his fists at Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "After coming back this year, I told many of my peers about the things in Huai'an, and they all wanted to go with me. Uncle Shen is willing to They couldn't be better, so I'll go and ask them."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "Remember to ask them all to go home and ask their family members. Only when the family members agree can they go to Huai'an together."

Jiang Ming nodded.

"Uncle Shen, don't worry!"

Seeing this "big nephew" leave with his chest patted, Master Shen smiled and sent him to the door of his house, before turning around and returning to his study.

On the table in his study, seven or eight documents were piled up.

Most of them were about Huai'an's affairs, and there were also some information sent by the Di Bao Si that he had to see in person.

The current Shen Yi is also the backbone of one party's forces. Although he is not as exaggeratedly busy as the emperor every day, there are indeed many things that require him to nod.

This is the core power that must be held in the hands. Once this part of power leaks out, then Huai'an may not necessarily listen to him completely.

Shen Yi sat on the table and flipped through the first document.

It was sent by Ling Su, and the document stated that he wanted to recruit soldiers immediately after the Shangyuan Festival to supplement the soldiers lost on the western front.

After Shen Yi thought about it, he wrote the word "ke" on it with a black pen, and asked Jiang Sheng to send it back to him later.

The same is true for the following documents, which need to be handled by him one by one.

…………

In a blink of an eye, several days passed, and the time came to Hongde's 13th year of the Lantern Festival. On this day, Shen Yi, his wife, and their two children went to the Qinhuai River for a walk, but it didn't take long. , just looked at the brightly lit Qinhuai River from a distance, blew the night breeze, and went home.

In the carriage returning home, Lu Ruoxi hugged Shen Sangsang, sighed slightly, and complained a little: "I don't know when will I be able to really celebrate the Lantern Festival and let off lanterns."

Shen Yi held his eldest son in his arms, feeling a little helpless, shaking his head slightly and said: "It will be a few years, maybe it will be all right in a few years."

Now Shen Yi is always in danger.

Bei Qi never gave up on killing him, not even on killing his family members. For a long time, there was a high probability that their family would miss the lively scene of Shangyuan Festival.

After all, the flow of people is too large, and if you really enter it, not to mention Shen Yi's own followers, even the inner guards may not be able to completely guarantee the safety of their family.

Mrs. Shen lowered her head and straightened her daughter's hair, looked up at Shen Yi, and asked, "Husband, should we leave tomorrow?"

Shen Yi shook his head slightly: "I won't leave tomorrow."

"The court will open tomorrow. I still have a lot of things to discuss with the court. I think I will have to stay for a while."

Lu Ruoxi hesitated to speak, but finally turned into a sigh.

"Sometimes, my concubine thinks for herself that my husband can be more stable, but you are a two-ranked Jinshi, but you are busy running around outside every day."

Shen Yi looked at his sleepy son in his arms, then at Shen Sangsang who was in Lu Ruoxi's arms with wide eyes open, and sighed slightly: "Ma'am, someone has to do things."

"I have the ability to do it now. If I am lazy and don't do it, I will be overthrown in the future. The disaster will fall on Yuan'er and Sangsang."

"I also read "Swallow Wenlu" with my wife. My wife cried several times and couldn't bear to read it."

Shen Yi's gaze became firm: "I don't want to have someone write a record of Jiankang's experience in the future, and I don't even want my children to be in the book."

"I have to stop my husband."

Mrs. Shen took Shen Yi's hand and said silently: "Sometimes, I just want my husband to take a rest."

"No problem."

"The key is these few years."

Shen Yi squinted his eyes and said: "If you do things well in the past few years, the future will be overwhelming, so I don't have to be so busy."

Mrs. Shen nodded silently.

"My husband is a great hero."

She suddenly said this softly, then raised her head and looked at Shen Yi quietly.

Master Shen was moved by these words, and he clenched Lu Ruoxi's hand.

"Thank you madam for your understanding."

…………

The next day, the Jiankang court ended the half-month holiday and officially ended the rest.

Civil and military officials paid homage to the emperor in Deqing Palace and participated in the first court meeting in the new year.

Shen Yi was naturally among them, but he didn't come to discuss matters, nor did he come to play the book, but to work in some yamen.

Because at the beginning of the new year, there were a lot of things accumulated in each yamen, so the Great Court Meeting did not last particularly long. Basically, the emperor talked and encouraged the big guys, and then they dispersed and returned to the yamen to do business.

After the court meeting was over, Master Shen did not go to other places, but came to Zhongshu Province to meet with several prime ministers of Zhongshu.

The current Master Shen is already a third-rank official, and not an ordinary third-rank official. His status and influence are almost comparable to those of the six ministers, and his real power is so great that even Zaifu can hardly see him.

Therefore, Shen Yi only waited for about a cup of tea outside the gate of Zhongshu before he was invited in by a small official of Zhongshu and caught in the public house of Prime Minister Chen Jing.

However, the head of Zhongshu was not in the public house at this time, and he didn't know where he had gone. Shen Yi waited for another cup of tea before the prime minister came in from outside.

Mr. Shen was sitting on a chair at the moment, sipping tea from Zhongshu Sheng. When he saw the prime minister walking in, he quickly got up, bowed his hands and said: "Shen Yi from the Ministry of War, I pay my respects to Mr. Chen."

Chen Jing walked to his seat, did not sit down directly, but looked up at the young man in front of him with interest, and smiled: "If I remember correctly, Shen Shilang seldom comes to Zhongshu."

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said: "Mr. Hui, the lower officials have not been ordered, so I dare not come to Zhongshu, for fear of disturbing the affairs of the ministers."

Chen Xiang narrowed his eyes, and then made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile: "Don't hold back, just sit down and talk."

Shen Yi thanked him, sat back in his original seat, and looked up at the prime minister in front of him.

He is obviously in his 60s and 50s, his hair is only slightly gray, but he is in good spirits, and he looks like he is only [-] years old.

At this moment, Chen Jing was also looking at Shen Yi, and after looking at it for a while, he asked: "Shen Yilang came to Zhongshu this time, why?"

Shen Yi said slowly: "Returning to Minister Chen, His Majesty said years ago that the Huai'an Army should be expanded by another 5 troops, reaching a total of [-], to defend the imperial court. The officials have not received the imperial decree, nor the documents from Zhongshu. There is no document from the Ministry of War.”

"That's why I wanted to come here and ask, when will the documents come down, so that the officials can start to arrange the corresponding matters of Huai'an's conscription."

Whether it is the imperial decree, the documents of the Zhongshu, or the documents of the Ministry of War, they all have to go out from the Zhongshu, or they have to go through the Ministry of War.

Therefore, if Shen Yi wanted to get this official document as soon as possible, he had to go to Zhongshu to ask.

Chen Xiangye stroked his beard, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Years ago, His Majesty did say this, and someone drew up an order, but..."

He looked at Shen Yi and said slowly: "It was already the end of the year at that time, and the other prime ministers hadn't seen it yet, so Shen Shilang had to wait a few more days before the imperial decree could go down."

"After the imperial decree is issued, other corresponding documents will also be delivered to Shen Shilang."

Shen Yi nodded, stood up and cupped his hands: "Since that's the case, I won't disturb Chen Xiang anymore."

He had to come to Zhongshu to ask about this matter. If he didn't come to ask, Zhongshu could drag it on forever.

At that time, if you went to the emperor to complain, it seemed a bit girlish.

So, it's still business.

"Not in a hurry."

Chen Jing looked at Shen Yi with a smile, and said, "The old man just went to say hello to the other prime ministers. They all want to see Minister Shen, later..."

"Five of us, let's meet Shen Shilang together."

"Ask Shen Shilang something."

Shen Yi was taken aback when he heard this.

Such a big fight? !
　I wish brothers a happy holiday and a healthy Dragon Boat Festival! !
