Shen Yi didn't know whether these measures were decided by the Northern Qi court together or by Zhao Kai, the Emperor of Zhaowu, who slapped his forehead on his own. But in his opinion, these were not clever tricks, they could only be described as commonplace tricks.
But it's not too bad. At least Emperor Zhaowu had the courage to touch Zhenren Zhuli and force him to join the army.
This fact shows that Zhao Kai is still an emperor with some ambitions.
It's just that Master Zhu Li has been living happily for so many years. Even if he really sends his children to the front line, it is still unknown whether they can make a name for themselves.
Putting aside these measures taken by Emperor Zhaowu, Shen Yi had no favorable impression of Emperor Zhaowu himself at all, and could even be said to hate him deeply.
Because when he first arrived in Huai'an, he had fought with Emperor Zhaowu. At that time, Shen Yi didn't know what Zhao Kai had done. Later, after connecting to the intelligence system of the internal guards, he learned that Zhao Kai Kai is very likely to kill good people on the north bank of the Huaihe River and take credit!
Moreover, it was a killing of thousands of people!
This kind of person, even if he becomes the emperor, you can still determine that his mind is not right, not only wrong, but also extremely crooked.
This incident made Shen Yi deeply disgusted.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi stuffed these documents into the envelope again, and then threw them into the brazier and burned them. He looked at the dancing fire in the brazier, pondered for a while, then stood up silently and went to the imperial city.
After he arrived at the Imperial City, he walked all the way to Di Bao Si and sat down in a living room of Di Bao Si.
The newspaper office in Jiankang and the newspaper office in Shen Yi were actually no longer the same yamen.
Although the Di Newspaper Division was also founded by Lord Shen, it was mainly responsible for publishing the Di Newspaper and being in charge of the mouthpiece of the imperial court. It was run by the eunuchs of the inner court.
Now, the person in charge of the newspaper department is a purple-robed eunuch, but it's no longer Sun Jin.
After Mr. Shen entered the Di Newspaper Division, he didn't waste any time and directly asked the eunuchs of the Di Newspaper Division to invite Eunuch Sun to come over and discuss matters.
He has great face now. Even if he goes directly to the Ganlu Palace to see the emperor, there will probably be no obstacles. Sun Jin has dealt with Shen Yi when he was still in blue. Even he started his career because of errands for Nanfang City Ship Division. Well done, thanks to Mr. Shen.
Therefore, Shen Yi did not wait too long. During the tea time, the slightly fat Eunuch Sun walked in with a smile, bowed to Shen Yi, and said, "Your Majesty, are you looking for a slave?"
Compared to Gao Ming, his posture is much lower.
Because no matter what Shen Yi's status was, Gao Ming never called himself a slave in front of him.
Shen Yi stood up, returned the gift with his hands, and said with a smile: "Eunuch Sun, you're welcome."
"There are a few things that I need to discuss with my father-in-law."
"Father-in-law, sit down and talk."
Sun Jin carefully sat down and said with a smile: "If anything happens to the Marquis, just send someone to say hello. The servant will naturally leave the palace to see the Marquis. Why does the Marquis need to go there in person?"
Shen Yi smiled hoarsely: "I have a lot of free time these days, so I naturally want to run around more."
After the two of them exchanged polite words, Shen Yi stopped talking nonsense and asked, "Shibo Company, is it my father-in-law who is in charge now?"
Sun Jin quickly shook his head: "It's not the case a long time ago."
"But if the Marquis has something to do, this servant can help the Marquis deliver the message."
Shen Yi shook his head slightly: "It's not a big deal. I just want to determine how much Shibosi's current annual income is. I have an idea."
He said: "My father-in-law is not in charge, so forget it. This matter is not important."
He looked at Sun Jin and asked, "As for the inner guard, Eunuch Sun should be in charge now, right?"
The fat on Sun Jin's face shook and he shook his head quickly: "What did the Marquis say?"
"This slave has never had an internal guard. Now Eunuch Gao is busy and has no time to spare. Sometimes this slave will handle some things for him."
Mr. Shen laughed dumbly.
"We are all acquaintances, there is no need to trick me like this."
"There is something I want Eunuch Sun to help me with."
"The inner guard is in Yandu and has quite a few manpower."
Shen Yi lowered his head to drink tea and said quietly: "I have an old friend in Yandu who I have known for a long time. I heard that he committed something recently and was dismissed from his post."
Sun Jin was stunned and asked: "Master Hou wants to help him? What did he commit?"
Shen Yi shook his head: "I want him to die."
Sun Jin stroked his palm and said, "If you were a commoner, this wouldn't be difficult."
Shen Yi smiled and said, "I want the Northern Qi court to kill him."
"If we assassinate him, it will be useless."
Only then did Sun Jin understand what Shen Yi meant, and he said softly: "Master Hou, are you saying that you want to frame him?"
"It's not a frame-up either."
Master Shen said calmly: "This person was one of the people in charge of Shandong and Northern Qi last year. Because Shandong was lost, he was dismissed from his post pending questioning."
"My father-in-law preached for him in Yandu, so he said that he..."
Mr. Shen pointed at himself with a smile on his face: "Fornication with Shen Qi."
From Shen Yi's point of view, Zhou Yuanlang's series of actions in Shandong can only be regarded as mediocre.
But Zhou Yuanlang is not a mediocre person.
Many times, some of his actions were forced by Northern Qi's national conditions.
However, before that, Shen Yi had no real intention to kill him.
This time, his real purpose was not to kill Zhou Yuanlang.
But... alienation.
In the 70th year of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Zhenren Zhuli and the Han people in the Northern Qi Dynasty had long been independent of each other and formed a country of their own.
And Zhou Yuanlang happened to be Han Chinese.
As long as the news of his affair with the Southern Dynasties spreads in Yandu...
Regardless of whether he dies or not, Hu and Han within Northern Qi will no longer trust each other to a certain extent!
Especially now, Emperor Zhaowu is recruiting Chun Zhuli's army... With this news, there will definitely be divisions within Northern Qi.
If things get bigger, then this year's Northern Expedition might go smoothly.
Even if it's only 10% or even 50% smooth, or even less, it's still worth trying.
Because of this, the cost is not high.
Sun Jin lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Master Marquis, this matter seems to be quite serious. Did I ask your Majesty first?"
"Father-in-law, just ask."
Shen Yi smiled and said, "I'm not here today to give orders to my father-in-law. We have a discussion."
Sun Jin breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go and do it immediately. May I ask the Marquis, what's the name of that person?"
Mr. Shen also stood up with a calm expression.
"Zhou Yuanlang."
………………
Yandu, the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
The originally unparalleled General Tuyuantu has now been imprisoned in this cold prison of the Criminal Department.
Not only is it cold and cold, but there is a smell of corruption everywhere, which is very unpleasant.
At this time, at the door of General Tu's prison, Zhou Yuanlang, a former middle school student who had been dismissed pending investigation, took a few thick clothes and a bedding in his hand and handed them into the cell.
After the things were delivered in, the jailer on the side locked the cell, looked at Zhou Yuanlang, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Zhou, we won't allow visitors here for too long. Just say a few words and you're leaving."
Zhou Yuanlang nodded, took out a piece of gold from his sleeve, put it in the jailer's hand, and said, "Thank you very much."
The jailer reached out to take it, said he didn't dare, then lowered his head and retreated.
After he left, Zhou Yuanlang looked at Tu Yuan in the cell and sighed slightly.
"I was the one who harmed the general, so I am going to jail."
Tu Yuan in the cell was already described as slovenly, but he had not been tortured very much. Compared to other prisoners, he was already lucky.
He grinned at Zhou Yuanlang and said, "Sir, if Shandong was lost, Tu would not be in jail here. Maybe all nine tribes would be punished."
"Tumou is very grateful for Mr.'s kindness."
Zhou Yuanlang sighed slightly and whispered: "The news about Jiankang just came back."
"Prince Rui, the eldest princess Yongchang, and the eldest princess Xianyou were all captured by the southerners."
"The most annoying thing is that the emperor of the Southern Dynasties..."
Zhou Yuanlang took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that Princess Xianyou was betrothed to a general of the Huai'an Army!"
"What a shame."
"The Emperor was so furious today that not a single minister was seen."
Having said this, he looked at Tu Yuan and whispered: "General, if you wait a few more months with peace of mind, when the emperor's anger subsides, the general will definitely be needed in the war in the south."
Tu Yuan sat down on the ground and said with a bitter smile: "It's better to go to jail here than to fight with Shen Qi."
Zhou Yuanlang smiled dumbly.
"Nan Chen Guo's strength will always be exhausted. Shen Qi will only be powerful for a few years."
"Wait a minute, there will come a time when you and I will rise again..."
Two people who had the same problem were whispering in the prison.
At this time, neither of them knew that the evil wind coming from the south would soon reach Yandu.
A crisis of trust will erupt in the capital of Northern Qi, centered on Zhou Yuanlang.
