The Huaian Army was created from scratch by Shen Yi, and it was obviously unrealistic to say that it had no emotions.
From the southeast to Huai'an, and then to Xuzhou, the Huai'an army has always been under his direct command, and now that they have all been dispatched, he feels somewhat disappointed.
In addition, I didn't know if the three subordinates could fight well, which made me a little more uneasy.
While the two brothers were talking, the food had been heated and was served again. Zhang Fuzun, who had been busy all day, lowered his head to take a few bites of the food, then looked up at Shen Yi and asked, "Ziheng received the letter from his mentor. Is it done?"
Shen Yi was startled, shook his head and said, "No."
"Did something happen to Jiankang?"
Zhang Jian was probably really hungry, so she took a few more mouthfuls of rice. After swallowing it, she looked up at Shen Yi and said, "Thank you for taking the post."
Shen Yi did know that when he was in Jiankang, the emperor mentioned this matter to him, saying that the old man would be old after the new year.
Prime Minister Xie Min is also a legendary figure in the Council Hall. He is very senior in the Council Hall. He is almost a contemporary of Yang Jingzong, Zhang Jing and others. He has been worshiping the Prime Minister in the Council Hall for more than ten years.
But for such a long time, he has never served as a leader, and has always been an inconspicuous prime minister in the council hall.
Perhaps it is for this reason that his career as prime minister was particularly long.
Shen Yi finally came to his senses and said, "Uncle Zhao, the chance is great."
"Um."
Zhang Jian nodded and said: "The previous batch of mentors should have entered the meeting hall. However, at that time, the Ministry of Household Affairs cannot do without people, so Your Majesty asked the mentor to continue to serve as the Ministry of Household Affairs."
Speaking of this, Zhang Fuzun sighed and said: "Originally, at this time, thanks to the Prime Minister's appointment, a vacancy was left in the meeting hall. In terms of qualifications and merits in the court, apart from my mentor, there was almost no choice, but this one At that time, the imperial court will go to war again."
"When a war breaks out, the household department becomes even more inseparable from people."
He whispered: "For this reason, there is some suspense about the mentor's status."
Shen Yi poured a glass of wine for Zhang Jian and said, "This is not a big problem. As Prime Minister, it's not like I can't intervene in the affairs of the household department."
"Besides..."
He looked calm and said: "If it doesn't work out, just serve as prime minister and also be the minister of household affairs."
"It's not like there's no precedent."
Zhang Fuzun sighed again: "This is a double act, but it will offend others. If you dominate the position of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and do not move away from it, the officials of the Ministry of Revenue will be afraid that they will curse their mentor in their hearts."
"What are you afraid of what they will do?"
Shen Yi chuckled softly and said, "Besides, my uncle has been in the household department for so many years. People in the household department should not dare to show their teeth to him."
"My mentor said in the letter."
Zhang Jian looked up at Shen Yi and said, "Still in Tingtui."
"It is estimated that the results will be available in Jiankang in the next few days."
"This matter is not a small matter for my mentor, Ziheng, or everyone in our academy."
When Shen Yi first arrived in Jiankang, it was the sixth year of Hongde. At that time, Zhao Shangshu was still the Minister of Household Affairs. He was only about fifty years old and still a young official.
Now eight years have passed, and Zhao Shangshu is nearly sixty years old.
In the council hall, the other prime ministers are not too old. If Xie Min cannot catch up with this opportunity to retire, and there is no carrot pit to free up, he, the Minister of Household Affairs, will have a hard time being the prime minister throughout his career. .
Even if you worship the prime minister for only a few days and then get fucked, after all, your status will be taken care of. When you retire, you will be able to bear the title of husband.
Besides, the position of prime minister is the ultimate ideal of all civil servants, and Zhao Changping is no exception. This position is naturally very important to him.
Ganquan Academy also needs a prime minister to enhance the influence of the academy.
If Zhao Changping succeeds in becoming prime minister this time, it will be much easier to open Master Lu’s new academy in Jiankang this year.
Shen Yi took a sip of his wine and said with emotion: "After all, we are kissing each other, master and apprentice. I'd better kiss you, senior brother. This kind of thing has never been mentioned to me."
Zhang Jian laughed softly and said, "Isn't it because I mentioned it to you, Zi Heng?"
"My mentor is so proud, I'm embarrassed to talk to Zi Heng about it."
Zhang Jian smiled and said: "After all, Ziheng, you can help me with this kind of thing."
"And since you are fighting now, the teacher probably can't bear to disturb you."
Mr. Shen said with a smile: "Uncle, I am too outspoken. I should lend a hand to my own affairs. I should help no matter what."
Shen Yi was not only helpful in this kind of matter, he was simply extremely helpful.
Because he has a newspaper in his hands.
It couldn't be easier to get some dirty information about Zhao Shangshu's competitors.
It is a pity that Shen Yi only has half of the Di News Department in his hands now. The Di News Department that has become the mouthpiece of the imperial court is not under his management.
Otherwise, he doesn't even need to find any dirty information to control public opinion and influence the political situation.
Mr. Shen lowered his eyebrows and said, "I'll say hello to the Di Newspaper Division in Jiankang and ask them to pay attention."
Zhang Jian shook his head slightly, frowned and said, "It's better not to do so. Your Majesty will be able to see you if you move your residence to report to the department. Don't let Your Majesty think that people in our academy are secretly forming secret factions."
Mr. Shen looked at Zhang Jian with a half-smile.
Ganquan Academy is not a secret clique.
But they have already formed a secret party!
In the early years when Shen Yi was still a scholar, Zhao Changping went to the palace to protect Shen Yi in front of the emperor because of his affairs.
I'm afraid that by that time, the impression of the "Osmantic Spring Sect" had already been deeply ingrained in the emperor's mind.
"Senior brother, don't worry, I will take care of myself."
Mr. Shen said softly: "In recent years, our academy and court have done a lot of things and made a lot of contributions. For the sake of these contributions, our uncle should be given the title of prime minister."
Zhang Jian looked up at Shen Yi and tried to keep his breathing steady.
This matter is also very important to him.
After all, Prime Minister Zhang has been away from the court for too long, and his reputation as the grandson of the prime minister has become increasingly dim.
At this time, having a teacher who was the prime minister was of great help to his career.
The master of the mansion picked up the wine glass and said seriously: "I would like to offer a toast to Zi Heng."
Shen Yi raised his glass with a smile.
"Brother, you're welcome."
…………
After Shen Yi returned, he wrote a letter to Jiankang's Di newspaper department.
The fact that he wrote this letter was not of much use to the imperial court. After all, only court officials of third rank or above were eligible to participate. Even if the Diji News Bureau wanted to influence them, it would be too late.
However, he could not hide his writings from the emperor.
So in fact, this was his attitude of supporting Zhao Changping to the emperor.
Although this statement is somewhat obscure, both the monarch and the minister will understand it.
In addition to writing to the Jiankangdi newspaper office, Shen Yi also wrote a letter to General Pei Jun in Yingzhou to communicate with him about the invasion.
Three days later, both letters from Shen Yi were delivered to the place.
Let’s not mention the reaction of Jiankangdi News Agency for the moment.
After receiving Shen Yi's letter, General Pei Jun, who was in Yingzhou, not only immediately replied to Shen Yi, but also led his troops to leave Yingzhou and enter Henan the next day.
This means that the progress of Dachen's Northern Expedition has taken another big step forward.
On the tenth day of February, the Huai'an Army's right army captured Shanxian and Caoxian, and troops marched into the city to attack Dingtao.
On the 11th, Su Ding's troops of the Left Route Army took Teng County lightly and encountered almost no resistance.
On the 15th, Su Dingbing entered Zouxian County. After confirming that there were about 5,000 defenders in Zouxian County, he immediately marched northeastward without hesitation and captured Feixian County on the 20th.
At the same time, Lingsu's troops had basically taken over all six counties in the southwest of Yanzhou.
Throughout the entire process, there was basically no resistance.
In fact, Ling Su's right army has begun to move closer to Jining Prefecture, preparing to take this big one.
On February 24, Xue Wei's vanguard army surrounded Yizhou City.
At this time, one month has almost passed.
During this month, the daily movements and specific experiences of the three armies were like snowflakes flying towards Xuzhou Mansion and Mr. Shen's desk every day.
On February 25th, after Shen Yi read the last frontline document, he wrote a reply to all three generals in his own hand.
After replying to the letter, he had someone send him out, then set off to the prefect's Yamen and found Zhang Jian.
At this time, the officials of the imperial court were basically in place. Although the professional abilities of these officials were not good enough, Zhang Jian no longer had to do everything himself, which made it a lot easier.
Soon, Shen Yi met Zhang Jian.
At this time, because the previously arranged combat missions had been basically completed, Mr. Shen was in a very happy mood. He smiled at Zhang Jian and said, "Brother, I will go north to Shandong in the next few days."
"For the matters in Xuzhou Mansion at the rear, we have to rely more on our senior brothers to work hard."
Zhang Jian nodded: "Zi Heng, don't worry. Officials at all levels are basically here, and with Master Wang stationed there, nothing can go wrong."
Mr. Shen said softly: "I want to ask my senior brother to find me more pack horses. I want to bring something north."
Zhang Jian agreed directly without even asking what Shen Yi used it for.
After finishing business, Shen Yi looked around and asked in a low voice: "Senior brother, it's been almost a month since that phase, hasn't it been decided yet?"
Zhang Jian frowned slightly when he heard this and glanced in Jiankang's direction.
"Not yet, but I should..."
"It just happened in the past few days."
