Although Shen Yi was a guest at this dinner, he was eating with Zhang Jian after all. He symbolically ordered two ordinary side dishes and handed the menu back to Zhang Jian. As soon as Zhang Jian took the menu, one of them looked the same. The young man, who was over ten years old, was led to the second floor by the waiter.
On the second floor of Yaoyue Building, there are a total of about ten single rooms, also known as private rooms. The single room where Shen Yi and Zhang Jian are located is not far from the stairs. At this moment, Shen Yi has his back to the door and Zhang Jian is facing There was a waiter waiting for two people to order at the door, so Mr. Zhao saw Zhang Jian face to face as soon as he walked up the stairs.
Mr. Zhao stopped, then glanced at Zhang Jian with interest, and smiled: "I've heard that Mr. Zhang went to work as a county magistrate for a few months, and then returned to Jiankang to enjoy happiness. , today it turned out to be true."
Mr. Zhao, dressed in blue, walked to the door of their private room.
He looked at Zhang Jian first, and then at Shen Yi. Shen Yi happened to turn around to see who was speaking outside, and the two looked at each other.
Zhang Jian didn't even raise his eyes, frowned slightly in disgust and said, "I'm in a good mood today, and I don't want to argue with you. I'll go ahead and don't ruin my mood for eating."
Mr. Zhao clicked his tongue, looked Zhang Jian up and down, and chuckled: "Are you still so crazy?"
"Is your old man almost seventy years old? How many more years can he stay in the council hall? In a few years, you Zhang Jian will not be qualified to speak in front of me!"
Zhang Jian curled his lips disdainfully.
"How many years can you, the Zhao family, try so hard to curry favor with Prime Minister Yang, stay in the council hall? I'm afraid it won't last longer than my old man does?"
Mr. Zhao smiled again: "Prime Minister Yang is Prime Minister Yang, and my family is my family. What does Prime Minister Yang's affairs have to do with my family?"
After that, the young man named Zhao put his hands behind his back and left with his head held high.
"Since we don't like each other, let's wait and see."
Before leaving, Mr. Zhao said such harsh words.
After he walked away, Shen Yi looked at Zhang Jian and asked softly: "Senior brother, who is this?"
Shen Yi didn't know Mr. Zhao.
Although Mr. Zhao played a big role in the Jiangdu Grain Merchants Incident, from beginning to end, Mr. Zhao was hidden behind the scenes. Shen Yi didn't even know that Mr. Zhao was involved in the incident, not to mention having seen him. Involved in the grain merchant incident.
"A dandy from Jiankang City, he was born into a noble general."
Zhang Jian snorted: "I'm about the same age as him, and I haven't dealt with him very much since I was a child. This guy has done a lot of evil in Jiankang these years."
Shen Yi was a little surprised: "Senior brother is a prime minister. In Jiankang city, is there any general who dares to barge with him?"
The status of military attachés in Dachen was generally not high.
Because when Emperor Taizu founded the country, he learned the lesson of self-reliance by military generals. In the first few decades of the founding of the country, Chen Guo began to weaken military generals in all aspects, including status and power. Over the decades, the generals' His status was severely reduced, and finally he was far inferior to civilian officials.
This is also the reason why Chen State was defeated miserably in the north sixty years ago and had to retreat to half of the country south of the Yangtze River.
But even after crossing south, the status of military generals was still inferior to that of civilian officials. Those military generals were not as obedient as chickens in front of the Minister of War, let alone the prime minister!
Logically speaking, there should be no general in Jiankang City who would dare to go against Zhang Jian.
Zhang Jian reached out and pointed on the menu, ordered four or five side dishes, ordered a bottle of wine, and then handed the menu to the waiter. After the waiter left, he looked at Shen Yi and said lightly: " Other generals are naturally not as arrogant as him, but the Zhao family is different. Back then..."
Zhang Jian took a deep breath and said: "When Shizong crossed the south and crossed the river, it was his ancestors of the Zhao family who successfully blocked the Hu soldiers at the Huaihe River. They fought for several months and repelled the Qi army several times."
Speaking of this, Zhang Jian's face looked a little unhappy.
"To this day, the Zhao family is still in charge of the Huaihe Navy. This is why he dares to be so arrogant."
The Huaihe River is the boundary river between Southern Chen and Northern Qi. For decades, the two sides faced each other across the river and had disputes with each other. The Chen army fought across the Huaihe River several times and fought with the Northern Qi between the Jianghuai River. However, the Northern Qi Dynasty never fought against the Huaihe River. Come to the south of Huaihe River.
It's because Chen Guoyou spent countless national funds to build a powerful Huaihe navy!
The status of the Huaihe Navy in the Chen Kingdom can be imagined.
After listening to Zhang Jian's words, Shen Yi was thoughtful.
He was silent for a while and whispered: "If the Zhao family can control the navy for sixty years, then the last thing Chen Chen wants to do now is the Northern Expedition..."
"It should be these Zhao family members."
The existence of the Huaihe Navy gave the Zhao family a transcendent status in the Chen court, even vaguely like the first general. Once the confrontation between the North and the South ended, the Huaihe River would become an inland river no matter which side won the victory, and the Huaihe River would The navy will also lose its current transcendent status.

"Isn't it?"
Zhang Jian said in a low voice: "In recent years, the Zhao family and Yang Xiang's family have become very close. Isn't it because these two groups of people don't want to fight?"
Mr. Zhang said coldly: "In the past two years, the most vocal people who suggested moving the capital to Jiankang were the Zhao family. General Zhao who resisted Qi across the Yangtze River was our great hero. I recognize this, but now The Zhao family…”
At this point, Zhang Jian snorted.
"That's all, don't mention these useless things, let's eat what's ours."
After saying this, Zhang Jian looked towards the door of the private room. The waiter just opened the door of the private room and served the first dish.
Just as the waiter was serving the dishes, Shen Yi also heard a familiar voice.
"Xiao Er, which private room is Mr. Zhao in?"
The waiter had just finished serving the dishes on Shen Yi's table. When he heard this, he immediately turned around and said in a low voice to the voice: "Back to you, Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao is in the moon space. I will take you there."
After saying that, the waiter lowered his head and led the young man who was talking to Mr. Zhao.
Shen Yi sat there, expressionless, without saying a word.
Zhang Jian noticed something was wrong with Shen Yi. He looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Junior brother, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Shen Yi took a deep breath and regained his composure. He looked up at Zhang Jian and shook his head slightly: "It's okay, senior brother, I heard the voice of an enemy."
Shen Yi has many enemies.
The four people who beat and killed Chen Qing in Jiangdu and injured him were all his enemies. Even Feng Lu, the predecessor of Jiangdu who had resigned, could also be considered his enemy.
But there is only one person who has the biggest grudge against him.
Fan Dongcheng…
Shen Yi heard clearly that it was definitely Fan Dongcheng's voice just now.
With Zhang Jian here today, Shen Yi would certainly not be afraid of Fan Dongcheng, and Fan Dongcheng would not dare to cause trouble in a restaurant like Yao Yue Lou, where the second generation obviously stayed. The reason why Shen Yi did not expose himself was because there was no need.
It's much easier to do things by hiding in the dark.
"oh?"
Zhang Jian was a little surprised and said with a smile: "Junior brother has such a good temper, how can he have enemies?"
"have."
Shen Yi also smiled: "My enemy seems to have gone to have a drink with Mr. Zhao."
After hearing Shen Yi's words, Zhang Jian was stunned for a moment, then picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Shen Yi, and smiled slightly.
"That's really a coincidence."
Mr. Zhang chuckled and said, "It just goes with the four words, birds of a feather flock together."
Zhang Jian raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Shen Yi also drank it all in one gulp and answered with a smile.
"Yes, it is indeed a coincidence."
