The prince’s words cannot be said to be completely untrustworthy.
But the level of sincerity can only be said to be the extent to which he would just say it and Shen Yi would just listen.
Because the relationship between the two people has always been a superior-subordinate relationship so far. If Zhang Jian and Zhang Yi'an came to be the imperial envoy, Shen Yi would naturally treat him with sincerity, but this Jin Crown Prince...
It can only be said that both parties have a good impression of each other.
Summoned by the big boss, Shen Yi had no reason not to return to Jiankang. Besides, his wife was also in Jiankang. She had been away from home for several months in a blink of an eye. Although the letters had not stopped, Mr. Shen naturally missed the little pregnant woman at home.
After handing over some important work at hand to Li Mu, Shen Yi went to see Ling Su again and explained to him the main work ahead. Then because it was getting late, Shen Yi went back to his residence to sleep for the night. Early the next morning, Shen Yi took several entourages from the Di newspaper department, mounted the horses at the inn, and prepared to rush back to Beijing.
When he returned, even Li Mu, who was injured, went out of the city to see him off in person. Ling Su, Xue Wei and others, needless to say, even Zhong Ping, the magistrate of Yueqing, also brought a group of officials from Yueqing. , sent him five miles away from Yueqing.
And Xue Wei rode a horse for more than ten miles. When he was saying goodbye, this man who was unparalleled in bravery on the battlefield dismounted and bowed respectfully to Shen Yi, his voice trembling: "Mr. Shen, my subordinate is in Wenzhou. The mansion is waiting for you to come back!"
Hearing this, Shen Yi also dismounted. He reached out and patted Xue Wei on the shoulder, feeling helpless: "In terms of age, you are one or two years older than me. In any case, I can't afford to be called Mr. Shen." .”
Xue Wei smiled honestly at Shen Yi.
"My father once told me that age does not determine your ability."
"My subordinates greatly admire Mr. Hanlin's ability."
"Not only the subordinates, but also the brothers obey Hanlin Gong."
Xue Wei and other earliest anti-Japanese troops were organized by Shen Yi himself.
During that time, Shen Yi ate and lived with them.
What's more important is that when they were outside Linhai City, Shen Yi also carried a knife with them to kill the Japanese pirates.
These soldiers have never seen a "down-to-earth" scholar like Shen Yi, let alone such an approachable Jinshi master.
Therefore, including their degrees, the "veterans" in the Anti-Japanese Army all admired this young man Shen Yi.
Shen Yi frowned, shook his head slightly and said, "It's okay to say this kind of thing in private. If you say it everywhere, you will be harming me."
"besides."
Shen Yi lowered his eyebrows and said, "Whether I come back or not, or when I come back, you all must listen to Shangfeng's words. The imperial court spent money to form an anti-Japanese army to fight against Japanese pirates. Do you understand?"
Xue Wei is actually a very smart man. Hearing this, he quickly lowered his head and said, "I understand."
Shen Yi smiled slightly, turned around and mounted his horse, waved to Xue Wei, and then rode away quickly with his entourage.
…………
Because it was the big boss who wanted to summon him, and he was the kind of big boss who had absolute power and could not resist, and because he was homesick, Shen Yi was still very positive on the way.
Except for the necessary meals and rest every day, he basically spent the rest of the time on the road. However, there were not many of them, so Shen Yi did not dare to take small roads. Even if he took some detours, he would always rush on the official road.
After driving like this for almost five days, at close to noon on the sixth day, Shen Yi finally saw Jiankang City after months of absence.
When they arrived at the gate of Jiankang City, the guard guard saw that Shen Yi and others were from outside, so he asked for an identity check. Shen Yi took out the seal that he had been upgraded to the seventh grade. The two soldiers immediately made way for them to let him go, and faced Shen Yi. He bowed and saluted, calling him "Sir."
Shen Yi nodded in return, and then stepped into the gate of Jiankang City with several entourages from the Di newspaper office.
As soon as you enter Jiankang, the prosperity of the market will hit your face.
It was noon now, and because the weather was still a bit hot, there were not many people in the middle of the street. However, under the shade on both sides, there were many vendors selling goods or eating.
Under the shade of some trees, there are sometimes seventy or eighty people gathered together. Needless to say, they are either weaving or playing chess.
Of course, there are many people who play Go.
Shen Yi stood in the center of the avenue, suddenly froze there, staring blankly at the Jiankang scene in front of him, silent.
Seeing that Shen Yi was still, several attendants on the side looked at him. One of them, a young man who was younger and had a better relationship with Shen Yi, walked up to Shen Yi and asked in a low voice: "Sizheng, what's wrong with you?" ?”
Only then did Shen Yi come back to his senses. He glanced at the young man with a smile on his face: "It's nothing, I just feel a lot of emotion in my heart."
The young man from Di's newspaper department smiled and said: "Si Zheng is so young, how can he be emotional?"
Shen Yi pointed at the prosperous Jiankang City in front of him and whispered: "Comparing the scenery in front of you with what you have seen in Yueqing, doesn't it make people sigh?"
The young man was stunned and looked at the scenery in Jiankang City in the direction of Shen Yi's finger, and then fell into silence.
indeed.
There is a huge gap between here and Yueqing...or the place that was harmed by Japanese bandits.
Although Chen State's national power is weak, Jiankang City is still the most prosperous city in the world. It is still much more prosperous than Yandu in the north. Taozhu and Yueqing were plundered by Japanese bandits.
It cannot be said that there are piles of bones, but corpses can be seen everywhere on the roadside!
Some bodies were thrown into the pond, and some were penetrated by branches and hung on the treetops.
In some families, the whole family was killed by Japanese pirates, leaving only the old lady guarding the thatched house that was burned to ashes, crying like a night owl.
The gap is too big.
They are simply two ends of the world.
This young man from the Di newspaper department, whose surname was Han, was Han Zhi. He had read some books, but not too many.
At this time, after hearing Shen Yi's words, he gradually became trance-like. He looked at the scene in Jiankang City and recalled what he had seen and heard following Shen Yi during this period.
The young man couldn't help but clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
"Japanese pirates deserve to die!"
Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said, "It's not just Japanese pirates."
His gaze glanced north.
Then he looked at the few followers behind him and said with a smile: "Okay, we have arrived in Jiankang. You are all from Jiankang, so we will go home to rest for a few days. Well, then we will go to Di to report." Say hello to Si, I will probably take you with me when I go back."
Several people bowed to Shen Yi and said they obeyed.
After getting rid of these subordinates, Shen Yi wandered around Jiankang City, bought a few small gifts for his wife, and then went to the cloth store to buy two pieces of beautiful silk cloth. Walking towards his Shen residence.
As soon as he walked to the door of Shen's house, Shen Yi saw that several peach trees planted in front of his house were already sparsely bearing fruit.
Because it was a newly planted peach tree, even though it was an adult tree as thick as a wine cup, it still didn’t bear many fruits.
Recalling that when Shen Yi first left home, the flowers on these peach trees had just faded.
Shen Yi took a deep breath and strode towards his home.
During this trip south, he saw too many tragedies in the world.
Now, it's time to see the warmth of the world.
The reason why I write this comparison is because I watched the movie about the evacuation of overseas Chinese today.
When I walked out of the cinema and saw the busy traffic and bright lights on the street outside, I felt a real touching feeling in my heart that is hard to describe.
Looking back at history for thousands of years, we have been so lucky.
in addition…
I have basically finished all the things I have been doing recently, and I will adjust my status and resume the third update as soon as possible. Thank you for your support!
