Accompanied by Qi Dayou, Shen Yi came to the main entrance of Prince Jin's Mansion.
He has lived in Prince Jin's Mansion for a while, but this is the first time he has entered Prince Jin's Mansion through the main entrance.
At this time, two young eunuchs were already standing at the door of Prince Jin's Mansion. After seeing these two eunuchs, Qi Dayou couldn't help but frown slightly, then walked over with Shen Yi and said: "This is Mr. Shen Yi, you guys?" Take him to see Eunuch Gao."
The internal guard and eunuch systems are not the same system.
Although both belong to the emperor, the leader of the inner guard is the commander of the capital, not the eunuch Gaoming.
It's just that Gao Ming is the emperor's companion, and the emperor uses Gao Ming to convey many things to the inner guards, so there is some "cooperation" between the two parties.
However, the inner guards are all arrogant people, and they naturally despise these eunuchs, and there are many conflicts between the two sides.
The two young eunuchs didn't talk nonsense. After rolling their eyes at Qi Dayou, they took Shen Yi into Prince Jin's Mansion.
In fact, Shen Yi was already very familiar with this Prince Jin's Mansion, but at this time, he naturally followed the two young eunuchs obediently, and it didn't take long before he arrived at the reception room of Prince Jin's Mansion.
At this time, Prince Jin is no longer here to accompany Eunuch Gao.
Although Gao Ming was the emperor's companion and had a high status, he was not high enough to keep the emperor's uncle here. Sitting next to Gao Ming at this time was Li Mu, the eldest son of the Jin Palace.
Two young eunuchs led Shen Yi into the living room. When they arrived in front of Gao Ming, one of the young eunuchs lowered his head.
"Ancestor, Mr. Shen has arrived."
Shen Yi quickly glanced at the scene.
At this time, in the living room, in addition to the young man sitting in the main seat, there was also the purple-clothed eunuch sitting in the second seat, and Shen Zhang sitting in the last seat.
Shen Yi did not recognize the young man sitting on the main seat, and did not shout nonsense. He could only bow to the eunuch in purple and said, "Shen Yi, a humble citizen, has met Eunuch Gao."
After hearing Shen Yi's words, Gao Ming was thoughtful.
At this time, he had confirmed that Shen Yi did not know Prince Jin.
In other words, Shen Yi's behavior...should have nothing to do with the Jin Palace.
After a brief moment of daze, Gao Ming immediately reacted and smiled at Shen Yi and said, "Mr. Shen, His Royal Highness is here. He is the master. You should salute him first."
Only then did Shen Yi confirm that the young man on the throne was the prince of the palace. He turned around silently, bowed his head and saluted the young man, who was a few years older than himself, and said, "Shen Yi, a humble citizen, has met the prince."
The crown prince, Li Mu, is only eighteen years old this year. He is a bit thin and handsome.
At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was looking at Shen Yi seriously.
He was very curious as to why Shen Yi was able to recruit the great eunuch in the palace.
After hearing Shen Yi's words, the prince waved his hands slightly and said, "No need to salute."
"Today Eunuch Gao came from the palace and brought you an oracle. Please listen to the oracle."
Shen Yi already knew that his poem had reached the emperor's ears, but he was not yet sure what the emperor would do to him. Thinking of this, Shen Yi took a deep breath and knelt down in front of Eunuch Gao.
To be honest, Shen Yi didn't have the habit of kneeling for others, but in this era of imperial power, there were times when he had to kneel.
He was about to kneel down when Gao Ming stretched out his hand to support him, and then smiled slightly: "The Holy Edict is not urgent."
The eunuch turned to look at the Crown Prince Li Mu, and then at Shen Zhang who was looking nervous at the side, and said slowly: "Your Highness, Brother Shen, Your Majesty has told us to ask Young Master Shen some questions in private. , our family will take Young Master Shen to the back room to say a few words, and we will be back soon."
The prince Li Mu stood up directly. He glanced at Gao Ming and shook his head slightly: "My father-in-law is here to ask. Guan Shen and I will go out for a walk first."
After saying that, His Highness the Crown Prince left with his hands behind his back.
Shen Zhang was very worried about his son and stood up reluctantly.
Shen Yi glanced at his father, sighed and said nothing.
Because he had no idea, there was no way to comfort his father.
After Shen Zhang also left, the two young eunuchs watched the door. The eldest eunuch Gao Ming sat lazily on a chair, looked at Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "Master Shen, please sit down."
Shen Yi was silent for a moment, then sat down silently.
Seeing that Shen Yi was still calm, Eunuch Gao had some admiration in his eyes. He smiled and said calmly: "Mr. Shen, you should know why our family is looking for you."
"Know."
Shen Yi lowered his eyebrows and said: "Because that poem, father-in-law, that poem was written by Shen in a play and had no intention of spreading it..."
"But eventually word got out."
Eunuch Gao said slowly: "And it has spread throughout the capital."
Shen Yi sighed helplessly: "If there is any crime, I am willing to bear it. I just ask my father-in-law not to implicate others."
"Whether it's a crime or not, let's not talk about it for now."
Gao Ming smiled slightly: "We have a few questions for you."
Shen Yi lowered his head: "Father, please ask."
"Why did you write this poem?"
Hearing this question, Shen Yi raised his head slightly, glanced at Gao Ming, and then said helplessly: "It was Xiaomin who first came to Kyoto and saw the Qinhuai River for the first time, and he was inspired by it."
Since this poem appeared in the world for the first time in Shen Yi's mouth, it was written by Shen Yi. It cannot be shied away from, and Shen Yi did not want to shirk it.
Gao Ming nodded slightly: "So, there is no one behind you?"
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, and then his brain turned rapidly, and he immediately understood the meaning of Eunuch Gao's words, as well as the cause and effect.
That poem is a bit "hawkish".
Being a "hawk" and having such a big impact already has a lot of political connotations attached to it. Because of this, the people in the palace came to find him.
Purely political reasons and nothing to do with literature!
Shen Yi shook his head quickly and said: "It's a folk opera, a poem written in one's spare time. How can anyone instruct..."
"I heard that you are a student of Ganquan Academy."
Eunuch Gao glanced at Shen Yi blankly.
"It's possible that someone from Ganquan Academy told you to do this before you arrived in the capital."
Shen Yi took a deep breath. He mustered up the courage to look at Gao Ming and said slowly: "Eunuch Gao, not to mention that my Ganquan Academy is upright and would not do such a thing. Even if the academy wants to influence something with this poem, then I Wouldn't it be more shocking to the world if Chief Lu Shan of the Academy wrote it directly?"
"oh?"
Gao Ming looked at Shen Yi and smiled: "It seems that you have figured out why your poem can be heard in heaven."
"It's not easy. It's really not easy for you to think so deeply at your age."
Eunuch Gao said slowly: "Over at Ganquan Academy, our family will send people to investigate, but as of now, this poem should indeed have been written by you alone."
The thirty-seven-year-old eunuch smiled slightly and finally explained the purpose of his visit.
"Mr. Shen, His Majesty likes your poem very much. He specially ordered our family to reward you. He also wants to announce the reward and the poem you wrote."
Shen Yi stood there and was silent for a moment.
Then he bowed slightly to Gao Ming: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, father-in-law."
Eunuch Gao glanced at Shen Yi: "Master Shen, can you just accept it so calmly?"
Shen Yi sighed helplessly.
"The common people have no choice but to accept it calmly."
