"Doing personal business?"
The emperor glanced at Shen Yi, and the smile on his face was gone. He looked at Shen Yi silently for a long time. After a while, he slowly said: "Shen Qing should remember that you are protected secretly by internal guards. Is that right?"
Shen Yi lowered his head: "This is His Majesty's kindness. I will naturally remember it."
"Then tell the truth."
The emperor turned around and faced Shen Yi: "What are you doing out there?"
Master Shen was silent for a while, then lowered his head slightly: "Go kill someone."
"I'm afraid it's not just as simple as killing people?"
His Majesty the Emperor said silently: "You mobilized the anti-Japanese troops out of the province without the permission of the imperial court and without documents from the Ministry of War..."
Shen Yi stood with his hands down and said, "Your Majesty, I have mobilized thirty-seven people from the anti-Japanese army. According to the rules of the imperial court, there is no need to ask the Ministry of War for instructions for the transfer of less than fifty people."
In this era, the constraints on military attaches were very great.
For example, the commander of a province can only command the troops and horses of the province. Once he leaves the province, he must ask the Ministry of War for instructions.
Another example is that the anti-Japanese army created by Shen Yi naturally has no restrictions on its activities in the coastal provinces, but once it leaves the coastal provinces, it must ask the Ministry of War or the imperial court for instructions.
However, if there are less than fifty people, there is no restriction. Even a thousand households can take fifty people with them.
The emperor smiled dumbly.
"Shen Qi, do you think you have done so much that I can't touch you?"
Shen Yi looked calm, lowered his head slightly and said, "Before I went out this time, I was already prepared to be dismissed from office."
The emperor's face turned cold: "You killed the envoy of Qi, and you just dismissed him from office? Didn't you kill someone to save your life?"
Shen Yi lowered his head slightly, looked at the floor in front of him, and continued: "Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of envoy..."
He whispered: "The imperial court should not know either."
The emperor looked at Shen Yi coldly: "How do you know that I will not hand you over to Qi Ren to calm this incident?"
Shen Yi lowered his head slightly: "I dare not speculate on the holy will. I respectfully ask for His Majesty's Holy Judgment."
Naturally, the Chen court had to pretend not to know about this kind of thing. If they really wanted to announce the matter, there were only two ways left.
The first way is to send Shen Yi to Yandu to apologize to the Qi people.
The second way is for the two countries to start fighting again, and even if they fight, Chen Guo will not be justified.
More importantly, even if they choose the first path, Northern Qi may not necessarily die out.
The emperor had no second choice. He could only cover up the matter for Shen Yi.
Seeing Shen Yi say this, the emperor suddenly smiled.
"Gao Ming, go help my Shen Qing up and ask him to sit down and talk."
Eunuch Gao hurriedly stepped forward and helped Shen Yi up. Shen Yi hesitated for a moment, then carefully sat down, lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, I was impulsive, please handle it."
The emperor groaned: "If I remember correctly, that Qi man offended you years ago? It's already the 22nd day of the first lunar month. Nearly a month has passed. How can we talk about impulsiveness?"
He looked at Shen Yi and said solemnly: "You have obviously planned this for a long time."
Shen Yi lowered his head and had nothing to say.
"This matter, you..."
The emperor stood up, held his hands behind his back, and walked towards Shen Yi: "You should have told me that if you have to kill him, I can let the internal guards do it."
His Majesty the Emperor walked up to Shen Yi and patted Shen Yi on the shoulder: "In my opinion, Shen Qing is the pillar minister of our Hongde Dynasty. Why bother to do such a shameful thing yourself? You will be stained with fishy smell. You may do it again in the future." Give people a handle.”
Hearing these words, Shen Yi felt a little depressed.
When something happened, he was the first to enter the palace and find Gao Ming.
But Eunuch Gao couldn't handle the matter and could only make peace in the middle.
Even if the palace said that they could help him kill Zhou Yuanchui, he would not do it himself.
However, such words must not be said in front of the emperor. He lowered his head again and said: "I... I know I was wrong."
"also."
The emperor pondered for a moment and continued: "Your method of doing things is very inappropriate."
He looked at Shen Yi and said in a deep voice: "I have offended you, and you are going to take people to kill him like this?"
"Today it's Zhou Yuanchui, the Qi man."
The emperor looked at Shen Yi and asked, "If one day an official from Dachen offends you, will you also take someone to kill him?"
"Or if I make you feel uncomfortable one day, will you also lead troops to surround Jiankang?"
Hearing these words, Shen Yi hurriedly stood up from his chair, knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said: "I would never dare, Your Majesty, this Qi Ren he..."
"He threatened your family, I know that."
The emperor patted Shen Yi on the shoulder and said silently: "What I mean is that you have been leading soldiers outside for two years, and you have gradually developed the domineering air of a military attaché."
"This kind of domineering attitude is unacceptable, especially internally."
The emperor reached out and helped Shen Yi up.
"You have to restrain yourself from now on."
Shen Yi quickly lowered his head and said: "I...obey your order."
"Um."
The emperor returned to his seat and sat down, and then motioned Shen Yi to sit down. After Shen Yi sat down, the emperor said calmly: "This matter is over here. The internal guards have already gone to help you deal with the aftermath of your rough work. ”
People like Xue Wei may be slow at work, but after all they are not spies. They will leave some evidence behind, and it is very likely that they will be traced.
However, if the internal guards can help deal with these traces, then it will be difficult for anyone to find out the truth of this matter.
"From today on, no matter who you are talking about, don't talk about it again, not even a word."
"As for that envoy..."
The emperor said calmly: "He disappeared in Huai River and has nothing to do with our Da Chen."
Shen Yi lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty..."
At this time, in the Manlu Palace, only the emperor and his ministers were still smart. The emperor looked at Shen Yi and said calmly: "I will also forget about this matter."
"You should do your best from now on and don't take it to heart."
This kind of words are words to win people's hearts, whether they are credible or not.
If the monarch and his ministers always cooperate happily, the emperor will naturally forget about this matter. However, if there is a rift between the two of them one day, the emperor may think of it.
Of course, if the emperor forgets it, he will forget it, and he will never bring it up again in the future.
This depends on the emperor's own style.
Shen Yi stood up and bowed to thank him.
The emperor said "hmm" and continued: "Zhou Yishan, I saw him yesterday and have let him return to Zhejiang."
Shen Yi's heart moved.
What the emperor means by this is that Zhou Yishan will still serve as governor of Zhejiang, but after this incident, Zhou Yishan may have completely become the emperor's man.
Since ancient times, the contradiction between the central and local governments has always existed.
Being able to completely subdue such a feudal official was a rare good thing for the emperor.
After thinking for a while, the emperor continued: "As for that Cheng Tingzhi..."
He narrowed his eyes and continued: "I still need to think about it again. Let's do this. Tomorrow...tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you bring him to see me."
The purpose of letting Shen Yi bring Cheng Tingzhi to face the emperor was to sell this favor to Shen Yi, so that Shen Yi's errands in Fujian would be easier to handle.
Master Shen bowed his head respectfully: "I...obey my order."
He knew in his heart that His Majesty the Emperor would probably really use Cheng Tingzhi as the governor of Fujian.
Otherwise, there is no need for the emperor to see him again.
After the two chatted about business for a while, the emperor sat behind his desk and waved to Shen Yi: "Shen Qing, come closer."
The Manlu Hall is the emperor's study, and there are no royal steps, so there is no taboo about approaching. Shen Yi hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and stood in front of the emperor, bowed his head slightly: "Your Majesty..."
"Shen Qing."
Emperor Hongde also stood up and whispered.
"I...have a prince!"
There was uncontrollable excitement in his tone.
But this kind of excitement cannot be expressed within three months, let alone tell or share it with anyone.
This frustrated the emperor.
And looking around the court, only Shen Yi, an insider, could share.
When Shen Yi heard this, he felt a little confused.
Prince…
Yes.
He reacted.
The babies in everyone's stomachs have reached their due date a few days ago, and are probably already delivered now.
I have to say that God probably liked watching this kind of drama and actually gave her a son.
Shen Yi sighed inwardly, then took a step back, cupped his hands towards the emperor and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."
】
The emperor's eyes were full of smiles.
"It's a pity that I can only talk to you now."
Having said this, the emperor paused, then smiled.
"When this child grows up, if you are free, Shen Qing, you might be able to come into the palace and teach him how to read and write."
This sentence is no longer a piece of cake.
But...poison cake!
If this child is the eldest son of the Hong De Dynasty and can teach him how to read and write, then he will be a proper imperial teacher in the future. But this child only has one long character, but not one direct character!
This is going to kill you!
Mr. Shen was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, I have little knowledge and I must not dare to..."
"Okay, look, I scared you."
The emperor smiled.
"I'm just kidding you..."
"It's getting late."
The emperor yawned and said, "I still have many official matters to deal with."
He glanced at Eunuch Gao and said calmly.
"Gao Ming, see off my guests for me."
