Li Mu didn't know that Shen Yi's shop on Dongshi Street was smashed.
After all, to Li Mu or to the upper-class people in Jiankang City, this is a trivial matter. Even if they knew about it, they wouldn't care about it. However, after hearing Shen Yi's words, Li Mu felt something in his heart. Curious, he looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Who is this Qi person? How did he make Mr. Shen angry?"
"That's right."
Shen Yi lowered his eyebrows and said: "A few days ago, your Majesty rewarded me with a hundred gold coins. Later, I exchanged the one hundred taels of gold into silver. That day when I was wandering around Dongshi Street, I saw a shop. As for the sale, I happened to have enough money, so I bought this shop, which can be considered as a real estate purchase in Jiankang."
Having said this, Shen Yi paused and continued: "After taking possession of this shop, I rented it to fellow villagers from Jiangdu and let them do business on Dongshi Street. My fellow villagers sold Jiangdu snacks. , the business was pretty good. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, a few Qi people came to the door of the store. They not only cut in line but also beat people. I happened to be there at the time, so I stepped forward to stop them, but unexpectedly..."
"Unexpectedly, these people not only failed to restrain themselves, but also smashed up my shop."
Shen Yi sighed: "Thinking about this matter, I feel more and more angry. That day at the Ganquan Academy gathering, I only got two broken sentences. I never thought that I would become famous in Jiankang."
Li Mu frowned slightly. He looked at Shen Yi and said, "If I remember correctly, there is an inspection department stationed in Dongshi Street. If someone makes trouble, the inspection department never intervenes?"
Shen Yi shook his head and said in a helpless tone: "The Inspection Department only dares to take care of me, the people of Dachen, how can they dare to take care of those arrogant Qi people?"
Li Mu's frown deepened.
"My father is now Jiankang Yin, who is in charge of all matters in Jiankang City. I will mention this matter to him later and ask him to send someone to investigate."
"Forget it."
Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that those Qi people were the escorts of the Northern Qi Princess. They accompanied the Northern Qi Princess to Jiankang. I don't know why they stayed in Jiankang. Since they are the clan of Northern Qi, then a If you don’t do it well, it will cause conflicts, so it’s better to be cautious.”
"Beiqi...princess..."
Li Mu lowered his head and thought for a while, and then remembered that a few months ago, Northern Qi did send a princess who claimed to be a princess. After arriving in Jiankang, she was left alone. The court never officially received her. This princess of Northern Qi.
The Crown Prince of Jin lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked at Shen Yi and said helplessly: "If it is really the guard of the Princess of Northern Qi, then it is really difficult for our Prince Jin's Palace to get involved. This kind of thing is too sensitive. If someone is not good, others will think that What's wrong with our Jin Palace?"
"This kind of thing... should be left to the Ministry of Rites."
Li Mu's answer did not surprise Shen Yi.
Because this matter is indeed very sensitive for the Jin Palace. The Jin Palace belongs to the royal family, and it is a clan very close to the emperor. Once the Jin Palace intervenes in such a matter involving two countries, others will think that the Jin Palace wants to provoke Start a war, then mess up the court and spy on the artifact.
When he mentioned the Qi people's matter to Li Mu, he didn't want the Jin Palace to do anything for him, but he wanted to use the Jin Palace to publicize the cause and effect of this matter.
It would be best if it could reach the emperor's ears.
Now, the poem "When will the bright moon shine and I will return it" has spread throughout Jiankang. Since everyone in Jiankang knows it, there is no reason why His Majesty the Emperor does not know it.
Judging from the current situation, the young emperor who just took over the government is obviously a hawkish emperor, and because the emperor is not old, he still has a somewhat middle-class atmosphere at the moment. If he knows about this Because of the cause and effect, even if Shen Yi is no longer rewarded, he will probably keep Shen Yi in his heart.
This will be of great benefit to Shen Yi's career.
Moreover, if this matter is publicized and becomes known throughout the city, the reputation of the Princess of Northern Qi and the few guards around her will be completely ruined in Jiankang, and Shen Yi will also be able to get some of his anger out of that day.
"well."
Shen Qilang sighed and said: "To be honest with you, I didn't want to do anything, but I was really angry that day. I haven't cleaned up the smashed store on Dongshi Street just to let Jian The people of Kang take a look at the arrogance of the people of Qi."
"Today I expressed my unhappiness to the prince and I feel much better."
"It's not just your heart that's unhappy."
Li Mu silently looked to the north, slowly exhaled a breath, and whispered: "My ancestors are all buried in Yandu Gyeonggi, how can I feel happy in my heart?"
"You have only been angry with Qi Ren once, but our family has been angry for so many times."
"That's all."
Li Mu shook his head, turned around and patted Shen Yi on the shoulder, forcing a smile: "In the past sixty years of Chen Nandu, there has never been a great talent in poetry. Now that a figure like Mr. Shen has finally appeared, Xiao Wang felt that Quite happy too.”
"I hope Mr. Shen will have a smooth journey in the scientific examination, enter the imperial court as soon as possible, and do his best for the country and the country of Chen."
Shen Yi lowered his head slightly.
"If it can be done as the prince said, it will be Shen Qi's great fortune."
………………
Imperial City, Deqing Hall.
It was already approaching noon. His Majesty the Emperor had just met with several elders of the Sixth Department and had dealt with some important matters. After finally finishing the meeting, he could finally rest for a while. The young His Majesty the Emperor was lying on a wooden deck chair. Go up and don't want to move.
"I finally know why my father's hair turned gray so quickly back then."
The little emperor let out a heavy breath: "If this continues, I will grow old sooner or later."
The eunuch Gao on the side quickly bent down and said: "Your Majesty, please don't talk nonsense, you are still very young..."
"Could it be that my father just..."
Halfway through the sentence, His Majesty the Emperor seemed to think of his father who died young, and his mood became a little lower. He lay on the recliner and slowly closed his eyes: "Gao Ming, has there been anything in Jiankang City in the past two days?" Tell me what's new."
"There is nothing new, but there is a couplet that has made Jiankang famous these two days."
"couplet?"
The little emperor opened his eyes and glanced at Gao Ming: "Read it and listen."
Eunuch Gao did not hesitate and recited the upper and lower parts of the couplet. After reciting the four words "Yiyi and looking north", the smile on His Majesty's face had completely disappeared.
His Majesty the Emperor stood up from the recliner, walked silently to his royal desk, picked up a brush, and wrote this couplet on the desk.
"Five Dynasties Rivers, Mountains and Winds"
After finishing writing, the little emperor put down his brush and looked at these two remaining sentences in a daze, without saying a word.
Eunuch Gao also noticed something was wrong with the emperor, but he did not speak and just waited silently.
After a long time, His Majesty the Emperor came back to his senses. He put away the couplet written by himself, sat down listlessly on the chair, and said: "Gao Ming, if you reward the author of this couplet, just... According to the standards given to the Jiangdu student last time."
Gao Ming lowered his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, this couplet was also written by the student from Jiangdu."
His Majesty the Emperor was stunned. He was silent for a while, then lowered his eyebrows and said, "What is the name of this Jiangdu student?"
"The surname is Shen, Shen Yi."
"Shen Yi..."
His Majesty the Emperor murmured and repeated, taking a deep breath: "I will remember it."
Gao Ming lowered his head: "Your Majesty, do you still want to reward me?"
"Since I rewarded you once, I won't reward you anymore."
Huang looked at the couplet again and couldn't help but sigh.
"This Shen Yi is a talent."
He glanced at Gao Ming and said, "Pay attention to this person. Even if this person has a difficult career, you can keep him by my side as a minister in the future."
The emperor looked to the north, lowered his eyebrows and said: "One day, when I get what I want, this person will draft a proclamation for the Northern Expedition for me..."
