Tonight's conversation between Shen Yi and the emperor was obviously related to the Zhao family and Gu Hengbo, but in fact, it had nothing to do with these two factors. In the final analysis, Shen Yi wanted to be in the Hongde court. What role to play.
If he obeys the emperor in everything today and blindly flatters the emperor, then he can actually get a future, but in the final analysis, it is a future similar to "Wei Xiaobao", with a false foundation, rising high and falling fast. ,that is it.
Shen Yi didn't want this kind of future.
This kind of future can only be taken by people who have no capital and no future, and Shen is a serious second-ranked Jinshi! Don't say that he won't be the emperor's follower. Even if he writes a letter tomorrow and curses the emperor, as long as the scolding is justified, he will not be punished for his words.
He is a student of Ganquan Academy, a second-ranked Jinshi of the imperial court, and he is very likely to become a talker of Ganquan Sect in the future!
With such a great future, there is no reason to be willing to sink oneself, follow the emperor's side, and be the emperor's lackey.
Being an official and being a slave are two completely different things.
Therefore, Shen Yi would bite the bullet and explain this matter to the emperor.
As for the mention of Zhao Clan, Shen Yi wanted to express his attitude and really take action against Zhao Clan. Even if Shen Yi has ideas and ideas now, he doesn't have any ability.
In the entire court, there was only one person qualified to take action against the Zhao family, and that was the emperor.
Before the emperor makes up his mind, anyone who does this is seeking death.
And once the emperor really makes up his mind on this matter, he will not lack any means. As soon as the emperor has an idea, countless plans will appear on the emperor's desk.
But Shen Yi just told the emperor clearly.
One day in the future, when the emperor is determined to revitalize Dachen, eradicate bad governance, and clean up the troubles in the court, Shen Yi, a civil servant from Ganquan Academy, will stand firmly behind the emperor and become one of the emperor's supporters.
This statement also means that Shen Yi has made a choice about his career path.
The little emperor was probably not in a good state these days. After saying a few words to Shen Yi, he looked at Eunuch Gao and lowered his eyebrows and said, "Gao Ming, send Qing Shen off for me."
Gao Ming glanced at the emperor worriedly, then turned to look at Shen Yi, lowered his head slightly and said, "Master Shen, please stop."
Shen Yi nodded and followed Gao Ming out of the Manna Hall. After walking to the door of the Manna Hall, he looked at Gao Ming's back and couldn't help but said: "Eunuch Gao, if your Majesty really likes the woman named Gu, the palace can send her I can personally deregister her and then find a house to raise her, or find a way to make her a palace musician of the Jiaofang Division. With the current status of this girl, if word spreads about it, it will attract criticism."
Eunuch Gao stopped and looked back at Shen Yi with a calm expression: "Master Shen, since you are unwilling to handle matters in the palace, there is no need to ask."
"There is a difference between inside the palace and outside the palace."
As Eunuch Gao walked away, he said: "You people outside the palace can take the initiative to do more things for the court. That is a blessing for the court and a blessing for the people. But we and other people in the palace cannot think about these things." We cannot handle matters that His Majesty has not given us, otherwise we will not be doing our duty."
He looked back at Shen Yi and said indifferently: "Master Shen, do you understand?"
Shen Yi nodded.
The behavior in the palace was indeed a little different from that outside the palace. After hearing what Eunuch Gao said, Shen Yi felt quite enlightened.
"I'm just worried about His Majesty's reputation..."
Eunuch Gao looked calm: "What you said will be conveyed to Your Majesty. Your Majesty's decision is your Majesty's business, and..."
"No one dares to say how long His Majesty will be able to like this Gu family."
Shen Yi thought for a while and said: "Eunuch Gao, if your Majesty is just a good person, I don't think it will last long, but if your Majesty is a good person, then..."
Eunuch Gao nodded silently, but said no more.
Eunuch Gao took Shen Yi all the way to the palace gate. When Shen Yi said goodbye to the eunuch, he asked: "Eunuch Gao, I am working for the newspaper company..."
"Wait until you report to the staff department."
Eunuch Gao stopped and said quietly: "The palace will find ways to arrange it for you, but in the final analysis, it still depends on His Majesty's wishes."
He turned his head and took a deep look at Shen Yi, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Originally, His Majesty wanted to keep you by his side as a close relative, but tonight you refused, so will the newspaper office fall to you in the end?" It’s hard to tell in my hands, but don’t worry, the Holy One will not forget the benefits he gave you.”
Eunuch Gao walked away: "If I can't give you a residence report, I will probably fill you up with a place as a concubine in the Hanlin Academy."
After saying this, Eunuch Gao walked away.
Shen Yi stood at the entrance of the palace, looking at the retreating figure of Eunuch Gao, with a somewhat complicated mood.
It is not surprising that fifty-one of the top 200 students were admitted to the Hanlin Academy. In fact, the number of places in the Hanlin Academy did not mandate the scientific examination rankings. Although most of the top ten were admitted to the Hanlin Academy, historically the top ten were admitted to the Hanlin Academy. There are also those who are ranked in the middle or even the top three grades and are admitted to the Hanlin Academy as Shujishi.
Comparatively speaking, the noble status of Shujishi of the Hanlin Academy is naturally much higher than that of a newly established yamen like Di Baosi. However, comparing the two statuses, Shen Yi still prefers Di newspaper department.
There is no other reason, because Shen Yi wants to do something.
To enter the Hanlin Academy, one has to stay at the Hanlin Academy for at least two or three years or three to five years before he has the opportunity to take up a real job. If Shen Yi can control the Di newspaper department, three to five years will be enough for him to fully master this newly established yamen. And he developed and expanded this yamen and achieved a great success.
With complicated emotions, Shen Yi took advantage of the moonlight and returned to his home.
After a good sleep at home, Shen Yi got up the next morning and went to the staff department to report.
There is a fixed process for replacing Jinshi with official positions. Except for a few academic masters who entered the Hanlin Academy, most of the other Jinshi are arranged to observe government in the Sixth Department or other yamen. The period of observing government is usually six months to three years. , in fact, it was the time the court gave them to fill their vacancies.
However, Shen Yi is probably not at the stage of observing politics.
He can be said to be one of the founders of Di Newspaper Company. It is natural for him to work in Di Newspaper Company. In addition, he has greeted the big boss in advance, so there is a high probability that he will directly work in Di Newspaper Company.
However, there is a time limit for the appointment of officials. Even after the appointment, one to three months will be given for the term. This period of time is enough for Shen Yi to return to Jiangdu and then rush back to Jiankang.
Therefore, Shen Yi could go directly to the Ministry of Personnel to report.
After reporting to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Shen Yi was ready to return to Jiangdu.
On this trip to Jiangdu, firstly, I wanted to see my family, and secondly, I wanted to bring Lu Anshi and Miss Lu to Jiankang for a trip and to consolidate their relationship.
Shen Yi didn't plan to stay in Jiangdu for a long time this time. It was estimated that he would stay in Jiangdu for three or four days before returning to Jiankang and preparing to take up his post at the Di Reporting Department.
Just when Shen Yi was about to go home, on the evening of April 29th, a young eunuch from the palace quietly came to Shen's house, handed Shen Yi an envelope, and then turned around and left without saying a word.
Shen Yi opened the envelope and looked at it.
Inside are two redemption votes, from Jiankang Money Shop, each worth 10,000 taels of silver.
Seeing these two large-denomination "checks", Shen Yi immediately understood what the palace meant.
The emperor is still willing to use him to do things.
In other words, Di Newspaper Division's job is stable.
However, these two exchanges put Shen Yi in trouble. He could never personally come forward for such a matter.
So, that evening, Shen Yi took these two large checks and found Xu Fu who was entertaining guests in a shop by the Qinhuai River.
Xu Fu was very happy after seeing Shen Yi. He pulled Shen Yi to sit down and served Shen Yi tea and water.
"Young Master, I haven't been here for a long time. We heard that Young Master was taking the high school entrance examination. We were very happy. We even got together to celebrate yesterday..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Yi.
Shen looked Xu Fu up and down and said with a smile: "Xiao Xu."
Xu Fu scratched his head: "Sir, please tell me."
Master Shen looked him up and down, and then said with a smile: "When we brothers first arrived in Jiankang last year, we walked to the Qinhuai River. Do you still remember what I told you?"
Xu Fu still didn't understand, and replied honestly: "The young master said a lot of things at that time..."
"I told you at that time that one day you would become a high-ranking official known to everyone along the Qinhuai River."
Shen Yi patted Xu Fu's shoulder with a smile, and said with a smile: "Now, it's time..."
