Shen Yi's face didn't look very good.
In the southeastern provinces, he can control the situation vertically and horizontally. Even after being assassinated again, he can quickly recover and deal with the local forces again.
But this time, Qi Ren's simple words made his whole heart tremble violently.
After ordering the guards to take the people, Shen Yi turned his head and looked at his wife and son. After taking a few deep breaths, he said, "Madam, let's go home."
Lu Ruoxi looked at her husband thoughtfully. She nodded first and left with Shen Yi.
At this moment, two bowls of hot noodle soup were just served, but the couple had no intention of eating. After paying, they turned around and left.
After leaving the tavern, Shen Yi held the child in his arms, and Lu Ruoxi walked side by side with him. She looked at her husband, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "How come you are so old after saying a few words to that Qi Ren?" My reaction, husband..."
"Is there something you're hiding from me?"
Of course Shen Yi was hiding something from her.
For example, he did not tell Lu Ruoxi that he was put on the must-kill list by the Purity Department.
The main reason is that I don't want my family to worry, and on the other hand, it's useless to tell my family.
Mr. Shen was a little distracted at the moment. He managed to concentrate and smiled at Madam: "Madam, I will tell you in detail after I finish handling this matter."
Lu Ruoxi pulled Shen Yi's sleeve and nodded silently: "Yes."
"Then let's go home first."
Dongshi Street is not too close to Shen Zhai, but the city of this era, even the capital, will not be as huge as the cities without city walls in later generations. So after walking for a while, the couple returned home. After Shen Yi comforted his wife and children, he got into his carriage.
The driver was Jiang Sheng.
Mr. Shen sat in the carriage, closed his eyes, and didn't speak for a long time.
Jiang Sheng waited outside for a long time, and then asked: "Sir, where are we going?"
"I'm thinking."
Shen Yi, who has always been gentle and good-tempered, opened his eyes and said with a little emotion in his tone: "I'm thinking about where to go..."
Although his words were not loud, they shocked Jiang Sheng. Jiang Sheng quickly shrank his neck and did not dare to say a word.
Shen Yi sat quietly in the carriage, closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and then said: "Go to the Imperial City."
Jiang Sheng responded quickly and drove the carriage towards the imperial city.
The Shen family was not far from the Imperial City, and Shen Yi soon got off the car in front of the Imperial City gate. He looked back at Jiang Sheng and said slowly: "Go back and tell your family that you don't have to wait for me to have dinner. "
After saying these words, Mr. Shen turned around and entered the imperial city, all the way to the palace gate, and informed the internal guard on duty at the palace gate: "Shen Yi of the Hanlin Academy, I have something to ask you to see Eunuch Gao."
If something like this happened, it would be inappropriate to meet the emperor, but meeting Gao Ming might be more useful.
Although Mr. Shen's current rank is not high, his status is already quite high. Soon, two young eunuchs invited him into the palace's internal chamber. They sat in a side hall for a while and drank half a cup of tea. Afterwards, the eunuch Gao Ming, dressed in purple, walked in with his hands folded.
Shen Yi stood up and raised his hands to Gao Ming, but only lowered his head slightly: "Eunuch Gao."
Eunuch Gao looked calm, cupped his hands towards Shen Yi and said, "Scholar Shen."
The great eunuch sat down on the main seat, and then motioned for Shen Yi to sit down as well. After Shen Yi sat down, Gao Ming lowered his head to drink tea and asked: "It's already dark, what urgent matter does Bachelor Shen have to come to the palace to see our family? "
Shen Yi said without thinking: "Father, today we are on Dongshi Street..."
"Our family already knows about that matter."
Eunuch Gao put down the tea cup in his hand and said calmly: "Our family has suppressed the matter for Bachelor Shen. Bachelor Shen does not need to worry, just pretend that this matter has not happened."
Shen Yi was startled and asked: "Eunuch Gao, what do you mean the matter has been suppressed?"
Gao Ming glanced at Shen Yi and said calmly: "They have been released. Our family has sent people to greet Qi people and tell them not to cause trouble. If Qi people don't cause trouble, no one will cause trouble for Master Shen in Yushitai. .”
"Even if the matter is suppressed."
"Scholar Shen, just pretend that this incident never happened and celebrate the New Year in peace and contentment."
Shen Yi suddenly stood up from his chair, clenched his right hand into a fist in his sleeve, and said with a dark face: "That Qi man threatened my wife in front of me!"
"The inner guard let him go?!"
Shen Yi's voice became a little angry: "Why did the inner guard let him go?"
It was also the first time for Eunuch Gao to see the excited Shen Yi. He was not angry at the moment, but just smiled calmly: "Scholar Shen, you are upset."
He lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said with a meaningful smile: "But speaking of it, this is the first time our family has seen Bachelor Shen lose his temper like this. Our family thought that Bachelor Shen was born mature."
"Always keep things in your heart."
Shen Yi took several deep breaths before calming down. He gritted his teeth and said: "Eunuch Gao, I can do things for the court without fear of life and death. Even if the Qi people assassinate me many times, I am willing to share your worries for your majesty. But if Disaster for the family!”
"How can Shen still work for the court with peace of mind?"
"Our family just said it."
Gao Ming looked up at Shen Yi.
"Scholar Shen, you are upset. There are some things you need to understand before you speak."
"No one has ever asked you to do anything for the court."
"Especially now."
Eunuch Gao lowered his head slightly, looked at his toes, and said calmly: "Now, the Japanese pirates in the southeast have been mostly pacified, and the anti-Japanese army has been established. If Bachelor Shen doesn't want to go to the southeast next year, there are many people who want to go."
"Even a few days ago, someone from the general came to the palace, wanting to take your place, Master Shen, and pick the fruits from the southeast."
"so…"
Eunuch Gao said in a calm tone: "If you don't understand something, don't say it. Otherwise, even if His Majesty wants to help you, he won't be able to help you."
"Then there's the matter of Qi Ren."
Eunuch Gao continued to sit on the chair and said slowly: "That person is one of the envoys from the Northern Qi Dynasty, and he came to wish the Queen Mother her birthday."
"In the Northern Dynasties, his status is not low."
He looked at Shen Yi and said: "Today he was just quarreling with each other and did not say a word that was harmful to the Shen family. Scholar Shen asked the inner guards to take him. Qi people can make a fuss about this at any time and can suppress it." Coming down is no longer easy.”
"Our family worked hard to help Master Shen settle this matter."
"As for this Qi Ren..."
Eunuch Gao closed his eyes and said, "There is no evidence to hold him accountable."
He opened his eyes and looked at Shen Yi, and said slowly: "Scholar Shen, as the ancients said, those who have thunder in their chests and faces as flat as a lake can be worshiped as generals."
"You today..."
"It's a little unusual."
Shen Yi sat on the chair, was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Eunuch Gao, when I am not in Jiankang, the internal guards must ensure the safety of my family!"
Gao Ming is right.
Some things just happen when they happen. It's useless to get angry in a hurry, and it's even more useless to make a fuss.
You will only lose your status in vain.
The Northern Dynasty was also a big country, a big country, and it used despicable methods like threatening his family against an individual like Shen Yi, which showed that what Shen Yi was doing now made them afraid.
And if Shen Yi loses his status as the Great Chen Court, the Qi people may not let him go. When the power of the court is lost, everyone in the Shen family will die without knowing how!
For now, the only way is to continue to do what needs to be done!
Do things that make Qi people afraid!
One day, when he, Shen Ziheng, sets foot on Yandu to liquidate these barbarians one by one, the depression he felt today will be gone!
Eunuch Gao stood up, walked to Shen Yi, personally gave Shen Yi a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Scholar Shen, don't worry, this Jiankang is Da Chen's Jiankang, Qi people can't make trouble here."
Shen Yi tried his best to calm down: "I've lost my composure."
"It doesn't matter."
Eunuch Gao finished pouring the tea and said with a smile: "Today, our family saw some fireworks in Bachelor Shen. I have seen Bachelor Shen before. Although he looks like a young man, there is always a bit of old age in him."
"Today, Master Shen is like a living person in our hearts."
Shen Yi did not answer, but asked: "Eunuch Gao, what is the name of the Qi man on Dongshi Street today?"

"Zhou Yuancui."
Eunuch Gao said calmly: "The grandson of Zhou Jin'an, the famous Northern Qi general, can be regarded as the son of the general."
He looked at Shen Yi and asked, "What does Bachelor Shen want to do?"
"Nothing to do."
Master Shen took a deep breath and calmed down.
"Just remember his name."
