After walking out of Ganlu Hall, Mr. Shen's back was wet.
Damn it, working for the emperor is not a good job in the first place. After all, there are no laws to protect personal safety in this era. The emperor will kill you if he is unhappy, and you have no place to reason.
Working for a capable emperor is even more unnatural.
In fact, Shen Yi knew that there were internal guards in the anti-Japanese army.
However, he thought that the most the internal guards could do was report the training situation of the anti-Japanese army and the results of the battle to the emperor. Unexpectedly...
The emperor even knew what the military attachés called him!
Master Shen walked out of the palace step by step. When he stood in the imperial city, he looked back at the majestic palace, and then secretly complained in his heart.
As an emperor, with so many things to worry about every day, you still have time to read the detailed information sent by the inner guards?
Are you tired?
After muttering this sentence in his mind, Shen Yi came back to his senses and looked around, only to realize that he had unknowingly arrived near the Di News Department.
Thinking of Di Newspaper Division, Shen Yi's heart moved and he walked towards Di Newspaper Bureau.
When they arrived at the gate of Di Newspaper Division, the two gatekeepers at Di Newspaper Bureau had been replaced by new people and they didn't recognize Shen Yi at all. However, seeing that Shen Yi was wearing the official uniform of the fifth rank, they still did not dare to neglect and behave themselves. He bowed and said, "Master, I don't know who you are looking for?"
Shen Yi glanced at the two men and shook his head slightly: "Excuse me, who is in charge of the newspaper department at the moment, or is it Eunuch Sun from the inner court?"
The two looked at each other, then nodded and said, "Yes, Eunuch Sun is still in charge here."
"Sorry to inform you."
Shen Yi said softly: "Just ask Shen Yi to see me."
Hearing the word Shen Yi, the two guards were stunned for a moment. One of them looked at Shen Yi's official uniform and was a little disbelieving: "Is...is it Shen Sizheng?"
They couldn't believe it, mainly because of Shen Yi's rank.
The Di Newspaper Division was founded not long ago, so it is natural to remember Shen Yi as the first Sizheng. However, when Shen Yi was first appointed as Sizheng, he was only an official of the eighth rank. Later, the overall rank of the Di News Bureau was improved, and Shen Yi was promoted to He was a seventh-rank official. Later, I heard that Mr. Si Zheng was re-appointed by His Majesty and went to the Ministry of War to become a sixth-rank officer. Why...
How come he suddenly transformed into a fifth-level master?
Shen Yi smiled and nodded.
"I have something to do in the palace today. When I passed by here, I remembered the days when I was at the Di newspaper office, so I came over to see my friend."
Although the Di Newspaper Division was not founded by Shen Yi, it was only founded under Shen Yi's suggestion. However, after Shen Yizhong became a Jinshi, there were only a few dozen people in the Di Newspaper Division. It was after he took over that the Di Newspaper Division slowly developed and grew. Now it’s become a…
Hmm...it's like a small but big yamen.
This yamen looks very inconspicuous, but in fact it has a very large number of people, a very powerful ability, and the power of the Secretary is also very powerful.
Moreover, this yamen is the only one among all the yamen in the imperial court that can achieve "profit". With its development now, it is no longer like a purely functional yamen, but more like a "state-owned enterprise".
And it's a relatively large one.
Seeing Shen Yi nodding in confirmation, one of the two gatekeepers invited Shen Yi in, and the other went in to call for someone. Not long after, Eunuch Sun Jin, dressed in lavender clothes, appeared in front of Shen Yi. After seeing Shen Yi, Eunuch Sun smiled all over his face and said, "Shen...Mr. Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Shen Yi waved his hand and said helplessly: "Don't call me Mr. Shen anymore."
He was still horrified by the emperor calling him "Mr. Shen" just now.
After saying this, Shen Yi took a look at the Eunuch Sun in front of him and said with a smile: "We haven't seen you for a long time, but Eunuch Sun has taken off his blue clothes and changed into a purple robe."
He cupped his hands towards Sun Jin and said with a smile, "Congratulations."
The hierarchy of eunuchs in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is very strict, and the highest level is naturally Gao Ming. The purple-clad eunuchs like Du Huai, the second ones wear blue clothes, the third ones wear green clothes, and the lower ones are the handy eunuchs in gray clothes.
Sun Jin used to be a middle-level and high-level person in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he wore blue clothes, but we haven’t seen him for a while, and now that Eunuch Sun has been “upgraded”!
Sun Jin returned the gift to Shen Yi with some emotion, bowed his head and said, "I owe it all to Mr. Shen for your blessing."
"You founded the Di Bao Division, and the Di Bao Division has grown stronger. Now the Di Bao Division's status in the palace is getting higher and higher. His Majesty personally set the regulations."
Sun Jin smiled and said: "From now on, the eunuchs in charge of the Di's Reporting Department will all be dressed in purple from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
"This servant was promoted by His Majesty because he was in charge of the newspaper department."
Shen Yi had a smile on his face, but sighed in his heart.
Although the rank of the eunuchs is not high. A great steward of the inner court like Gao Ming is only of the fourth grade. However, the power of the eunuchs in the inner court is not small. If compared to the outer court, the eunuchs in purple can already be regarded as the outer rank. Ting's third grade.
And Sizheng of the Di newspaper department is only in the seventh rank.
After Shen Yi "resigned", the position of Sizheng of the Di Newspaper Department has been vacant. No second Sizheng was appointed. Instead, the eunuch in the palace was given the responsibility and became the so-called "chief eunuch" of the Di Newspaper Department.
And when the level of the chief eunuch is so high, it is basically impossible for the foreign minister to take up the post of Sizheng. In other words, although the position of Sizheng of Dibao Si exists, there is a high probability that it will remain vacant, or it will be long after One day, it became a place where the emperor placed the prince and let him run errands.
Most likely it has nothing to do with civil servants.
Shen Yi felt quite sorry in his heart.
Because, although it is impossible for him to be demoted and return to the Di newspaper office after his resignation, his brother Shen Heng will be in the imperial examination soon, and will be in the spring next year. If everything goes well, he will be a Jinshi next spring.
Shen Yi really wanted to put Shen Heng here and help him manage the Di's newspaper office.
Now it looks like that hope has been dashed.
Although he was a little disappointed, Shen Yi still had a smile on his face, and he and Eunuch Sun Jinsun visited the current Di News Department.
There are still many officials in the Di News Department now, who were old people who were there during Shen Yi's time. They have not seen each other for more than a year. Everyone was very happy to see Shen Yi again and saluted Shen Yi one after another. Si Zheng.
After wandering around in the Di Newspaper Division for more than half an hour, Shen Yi said goodbye and left. Before leaving, most of the "staff" of the Di Newspaper Division came out to see him off, especially Eunuch Sun, who bowed to Shen Yi and saluted him.
Shen Yi also returned the gift with his hand and said with a smile: "In the past two years, the anti-Japanese army has been out to suppress the Japanese. The Di News Agency along the coast has been a great help, and the help of all my colleagues is also indispensable."
"On behalf of the people along the coast and the officers and soldiers of the anti-Japanese army, I would like to thank you all."
He bowed and saluted.
Most of the people in the Di Reporting Department were civil servants, and only a small number were high-ranking officials. They all bowed to Shen Yi in return and did not even dare to say a word.
In this way, Mr. Shen left the Di Newspaper Division with everyone seeing him off.
After walking out of the Di newspaper department, Shen Yi felt quite emotional.
To be honest, in the process of suppressing the Japanese, the Di News Division was really helpful to him.
And not only for suppressing Japanese enemies, but also for the Northern Expedition one day, Di Bao Si will probably be needed.
It's just that the longer it takes for him to step down as the Chief of the Dibao Division, the less smooth it will be when he is employed as the Dibao Division.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi stopped and looked back at the inconspicuous Yamen behind him.
"I have to think of a way..."
He muttered in his mind.
"Bring back the Di News Department..."
