At this moment, Shen Yi felt an unknown fire burst into his heart.
Although he resisted showing any expression on his face, in his heart he wished he could hang up the little widow in front of him and beat her up.
He does not have the concept of the so-called emperor of heaven and earth, nor does he have any foolish and loyal thoughts of loyalty to the emperor.
To be honest, if he didn't go well with the emperor, he would find a way to run away, let alone the "boss lady" in front of him.
What made Shen Yi angry was that Queen Mother Sun's suggestion was very vicious to him.
Because for the emperor, the matter of supporting Gu Hengbo outside may cause some criticism from the outside world, but it will not hurt His Majesty's reputation very much, because in this era, men hide their beauty in golden houses. It is enviable and can be passed down as an elegant thing.
But as a scholar, keeping prostitutes outside for the emperor is a real moral issue.
If word gets out, others will poke Shen Yi's spine.
This is a real pain point for Shen Yi. If it really gets out, no matter how smooth his official career in the court is or how smooth his career is, there will be people pointing at his spine behind his back and scolding him. Fortunately.
If you are the kind of person with a vicious mouth, you might even say a few words like "turtle man" to disgust people.
What's more terrible is that this kind of stain on his reputation will accompany Shen Yi throughout his life. As the Queen Mother Sun said, even if he resigns and goes home to teach, this kind of moral problem will make it impossible for him to teach in his hometown.
But what really made Shen Yi angry was not that someone used this matter to make trouble, but that Queen Mother Sun used this matter to threaten Shen Yi.
Damn it!
It was obviously your son who had to take care of someone else, but I had no choice but to help because of the emperor's power, and I didn't even take care of the matter myself!
Not only that, in order to worry about your son's reputation, I also tried every means to cover it up for him, preparing to let everyone fake his death and escape, so that this matter would be done perfectly.
In the end, you, a mother-in-law, not only showed no sign, but you also used this matter to tease me?
These are Shen Yi's current thoughts.
Shen Yi stood silently in the Kunde Palace. He took several deep breaths and tried to calm down his mood. Then he silently raised his head and looked at Queen Mother Sun, trying to calm down his tone: "I would like to ask the Queen Mother, do you need me?" do what?"
Empress Dowager Sun had obviously already thought about the process of the matter. Seeing Shen Yi bowing his head and being submissive, she smiled and said lightly: "The Ai family has two nephews, both of whom have fifth-grade casual official titles. Chief Shen is in charge We might as well bring them to the Anti-Japanese Army and hold them in positions of thousands of households."
Having said this, the Queen Mother paused and continued: "Although these two juniors of the Ai family are military officials, they have never been on the battlefield, let alone led soldiers. Therefore, after arriving in the Anti-Japanese Army, Chief Shen You don’t have to let them actually lead the troops, just let them follow the army and do their best for the court.”
What this means is that although these two young masters of the Sun family worked with the army, they only received credit and did not work.
Although it may be better for them not to work to fight the Japanese army, the credit for the anti-Japanese soldiers fighting hard on the battlefield may not be their own credit by then, and may have to be divided by these two descendants. !
Even split most of it.
Shen Yi was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Empress, I am the head of the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War, not the head of the Military Selection Department. Besides, even the head of the Military Selection Department has no right to appoint five thousand households. What the Queen Mother said , I have all written it down, and after I return, I will write a memorial to Your Majesty, recommending the two young masters to join the anti-Japanese army as a thousand households."
"As soon as His Majesty issues an imperial edict, I will immediately take the imperial edict and go to the Military Selection Department to approve the documents."
"It's just a trivial matter. There's no need to rush to tell His Majesty."
Empress Dowager Sun said softly: "As long as you nod, Chief Shen, we will let the two of them go south with you at the beginning of next year. As for the documents from the Ministry of War, the Ai family will send someone over to ask for one."
"Your Majesty, the Aijia will be looking for you
It was time to mention it to him. "
Shen Yi had no expression on his face and said in a low voice: "Madam, I don't understand. The two young masters of the Sun family should have enjoyed endless glory and wealth in Jiankang. They have squandered endless amounts of money throughout their lives, even for generations. , If you are already so rich, why do you still want to take credit from those soldiers who risked their lives?"
Queen Mother Sun looked calm.
"The Ai family has already said that we are not letting them grab the credit, but letting them do something for the country."
Shen Yi secretly gritted his teeth and said, "My dear, the Japanese invasion has been going on in the Southeast for decades, why does it continue unabated?"
"Why was it that after the anti-Japanese army was formed, it was possible to defeat the Japanese army several times in less than a year?"
Shen Yi raised his head, looked directly at Queen Mother Sun, and gritted his teeth: "Because it's fair!"
"Because in the anti-Japanese army, those who have made contributions must be rewarded!"
Chief Shen could no longer maintain his composure, and his expression became a little angry: "Do you want to destroy the foundation of this Southeast Coast Defense Force?"
"How can it be so serious?"
Queen Mother Sun frowned, her tone impatient.
"In daily life in the Ai family, even if the husband-in-laws of Zhongshu are asked to do something, they have never been as procrastinating as you. It's just two thousand households, and it doesn't affect your march and fight against the Japanese army. What kind of foundation have you destroyed? "
She glanced at Shen Yi and saw that his face was ugly. The Queen Mother waved her hand lazily.
"That's all, this young man just can't turn his head sometimes. Considering that you are a talented person, the Ai family won't embarrass you."
"You can go back and think about it for a while, um..."
"Just three days."
The Queen Mother yawned and said, "I will reply to the Ai family within three days."
Having said this, she slowly sat back in her seat, looked at Shen Yi calmly and said, "Master Shen, when doing things in the court, sometimes you have to be more flexible and not so rigid."
Shen Yi silently raised his head and glanced at the "proprietress", then bowed to the Queen Mother, with no emotion in his tone: "Thank you for your advice, I have learned a lesson."
After saying this, he silently took two steps back and then left Kunde Palace.
After walking out of Kunde Palace, Mr. Shen walked alone in this huge imperial city.
At this moment, he had a lot of thoughts in his heart.
He thought of his hometown, Jiangdu, and the prosperity of Jiangdu's Yudai Lake.
He also thought of Jiankang and the Qinhuai River where people from Jiankang came and went.
These are all prosperous places in Jiangnan.
He also thought of Taizhou Prefecture and Taozhu Town, Taizhou Prefecture, which had been looted by Japanese pirates.
Tragedy everywhere.
To be honest, Shen Yi has feelings for this land, and he also wants to try his best to protect this land. He even thought that one day he would raise troops to look north and restore the rivers and mountains.
but…
It's useless for Shen Yi to think about this kind of thing alone.
Everyone in the court needs to be of one mind and one mind. Even if they are not of the same mind, no one can hold him back.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi raised his head and glanced in the direction of Deqing Palace.
That is the residence of the emperor.
Shen Yi only hesitated for a moment, then changed his direction and strode towards Deqing Palace.
At this moment, he felt a little angry and had only one thought in his mind.
If the little emperor had the same thoughts and attitude as the Queen Mother.
Then go fuck yourself.
I will ruin it from today on, and I won’t help your Li family any more!
Then, at the entrance of Deqing Palace, a man wearing a sixth-grade official uniform knelt on the ground, his voice was very forceful.
"My lord, Shen Yi, the head of the Ministry of War, would like to see the Holy Master!"
