When the emperor heard this, he became interested and said with a smile: "How do you say this?"
Shen Yi calmly lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty should know what happened to me in my early years in Jiangdu. At that time, I was still young and was framed by the Jiangdu County Government and almost died in prison."
"The governor of Jiangdu at that time was none other than Chen Yu."
"From the beginning to the end, Chen Yu had nothing to do with this matter. He was completely thrown away. But because of this, we can see this person's scheming."
"This matter is absolutely inseparable from him. He even secretly instructed the Jiangdu County Government to do this."
"From this point of view, it is clear that this person's heart is not right."
The emperor touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "What about other than that? Is there no other reason?"
Shen Yi continued: "This person joined Yang Jingzong's sect earlier. After the collapse of Yang Jingzong's party, he was able to escape. After that, he once found me in private and said that he would join hands with me to bring him down. Cui Yu and Cui Xianggong were sternly rejected by my ministers."
"All kinds of deeds clearly show that this person has a despicable temperament and is not a man of the right path. I think that this person can be used by Your Majesty, but not in a big way."
The exact time was in the late period of Yang Jingzong's era, when he had become a confidant of Emperor Hong De, but it was difficult to say this kind of thing clearly.
In the future, he may be transferred to other provinces to serve as chief minister, and he may even have the opportunity to take charge of one side, become a governor of one side, or a high official in the border areas, but his official career will stop here, with positions such as Zhongshu Taige and Dajiuqing. They have no fate with him anymore.
Shen Yi lowered his head again: "Your Majesty, I have a good rest. I am leaving."
Mr. Shen thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Cheng Tingzhi is a quite upright person, and he no longer has much thought about climbing up in the officialdom. When you take him with you on tour, you should be able to see some common people. What it really looks like.”
The emperor was a little curious: "Can't we just escape outside the customs?"
Emperor Hongde thought carefully, then nodded silently and said: "I have made a note of it. As for Chen Yu, I will not need him to enter the court in the future. Let him stay in his place."
And now, now that Shen Yi has spoken, Emperor Hong De will definitely not mess with Lord Shen because of Chen Yu. In other words, from now on, because of Shen Yi's few words, Chen Yu's political career will almost disappear. That's it for now.
The emperor stretched and said, "Okay, that's all for today. I'm a little tired. Let's talk about the rest tomorrow."
Mr. Shen bowed his head and saluted: "I obey."
Mr. Shen nodded in agreement.
"I have found some clues. After a while, we should have specific information."
Mr. Shen first bowed his head and resigned, then raised his head and asked: "Your Majesty, how many days do you plan to stay in Kaifeng Mansion?"
His Majesty the Emperor thought about it for a while and said, "Okay, I will take him around for a few days after resting."
Shen Yi shook his head and said: "After Feng Lu arrived in the north, he lived anonymously and relied on the money he gained as an official in Dachen. He should have lived a pretty good life. He did not escape outside the customs and lived near Yandu."
His Majesty the Emperor said with a smile: "It just so happens that I am going to the north. If I find this person then, Shen Qing will not rush to vent his anger and bring him to me to see what kind of person he is. He is so cunning. "
Of course, this is under the condition that Shen Yi remains standing.
Chen Yu joined the emperor's disciples early.
"Ten days and a half month."
His Majesty the Emperor said lazily: "Emperor Sejong is walking too slowly. It is really slow to follow the coffins all the way north. Let them walk ahead. I happen to be in Kaifeng Mansion to see how the people of Kaifeng are doing. "
Emperor Hong De lowered his head and took a sip of tea, looked at Shen Yi, and said, "It's an old matter in Jiangdu Prefecture. I heard that the former magistrate of Jiangdu County fled to the north early. Later, Shen Qing has also been tracing his whereabouts. , now that Northern Xinjiang has been restored, has Shen Qing found him?"
The emperor touched his chin and pondered for a while, and then asked: "Shen Qing, do you think I can see real people where I go?"
………………
His Majesty the Emperor stayed in Kaifeng Mansion for twenty days before starting his journey. However, he still did not go directly to Yandu, but went north along the Henan Province to Shanxi.
Compared with Henan, Shanxi is still quite poor now. Firstly, this is because Shanxi was recovered not long ago, and officials from the imperial court have not had time to send over, and people's livelihood has not been restored.
The more important reason is that Xue Wei, the Huai'an army, fought with the Tatars in Shanxi, especially in Datong Prefecture, for more than a year, which caused the people of Shanxi to panic and flee in all directions, resulting in a large population loss.
After visiting two prefectures in Shanxi, more than half a month passed before His Majesty finally arrived at Taiyuan, the provincial capital of Shanxi.
At this time, there was a prefect in Taiyuan City, but it was just a temporary worker dispatched by Shen Yi, and Taiyuan Prefecture had not been taken care of yet.
The emperor was stationed in Taiyuan. As he was walking in, His Majesty looked at the thick stack of documents on his desk, shook his head slightly and said: "Compared with Henan, Shanxi is a bit different. It seems that we need to send a few Talented ministers and officials will come to take charge of Shanxi and sort out Shanxi province as soon as possible."
He looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Shen Qing, who in the court do you think is qualified for this job?"
Shen Yi quickly shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, although I have been an official for more than ten years, I have not spent much time actually serving in the court during these ten years, so I don't know the people in the court very well. The province of Shanxi is in a very critical position, especially Datong Prefecture, which is an extremely important border point. Who will govern Shanxi will naturally be decided by your Majesty and the Zhongshu Prime Minister and Fu." His Majesty the Emperor smiled and said: " To talk about understanding, Shen Qing naturally knows Shanxi very well. Naturally, I have to ask Shen Qing first. However, in the past two days, the three prime ministers who followed me also discussed this matter, and the three prime ministers also recommended it. Candidates, Shen Qing, guess who Cui Yu recommended?"
Shen Yi shook his head: "I am too stupid to guess."
"The official department is Song Ying."
Shen Yi said "Huh?" and said: "Song Langzhong's rank is not enough to directly govern Shanxi..."
"So the position recommended by Cui Yu is not the governor of Shanxi, but the chief envoy of Shanxi."
Shen Yi thought for a moment, then shook his head: "There are a lot of things going on here in Shanxi right now. Mr. Song has no experience in serving as a local official, so I just transferred him here. I think it's too forced."
"I don't agree."
The emperor rubbed his brows and said: "I have to consider this matter slowly. Before the imperial court sent officials to take charge of Shanxi, Shen Qing was more concerned about Shanxi. I don't ask you to take Shanxi well, but at least Shanxi cannot be allowed to cause chaos."
Shen Yi lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The vanguard of the Huai'an Army is stationed in Datong Mansion. With the Huai'an Army here, there will be no chaos in Shanxi."
The emperor smiled and nodded: "Speaking of the vanguard army, I was about to mention this matter to Shen Qing."
The emperor sat back in his seat and said: "I only brought five thousand guards with me, which is not enough in a place like Shanxi. Shen Qing will transfer five more from this vanguard army." Thousands of people will come here and serve as temporary guards."
"By the way..."
The emperor looked at Shen Yi, smiled and said, "Let Xue Wei come over and see me again."
Shen Yi raised his head, looked at the emperor, then took a deep breath, lowered his head and said, "I obey."
The emperor yawned, rubbed his eyes and said, "Then the matter is settled. I will see Jin Wang Zhao Xiong later, so Shen Qing will leave first."
Mr. Shen bowed his head deeply: "I obey."
After that, he silently exited the emperor's palace.
After walking out of the emperor's residence, Mr. Shen's eyes became complicated. He even looked back at the emperor's residence. He was silent for a while before turning around and leaving with his hands behind his back.
At this moment, he could no longer tell whether Emperor Hongde trusted him completely or was testing himself.
If it's the latter...
As the emperor, should I use my own life to test my ministers?
Mr. Shen couldn't think of an answer to this question.
If Emperor Hong De really had this idea, then there was only one possibility.
He came here not for Hong Dechao to test Shen Yi, but for future generations to test Shen...
But this way of testing is really...
So damn sincere.
…………
A few days later, the cavalry battalion of the Pioneer Army rushed to Taiyuan City to escort them.
Xue Wei personally led the troops. After arriving in Taiyuan, Xue Wei went straight to the emperor's palace to ask for an audience with the emperor.
At the same time, a hundred households from the Pioneer Army came to Shen Yi's residence, met Shen Yi, and reported the general situation to Shen Yi.
Mr. Shen gently patted this hundred households on the shoulder: "I understand."
The hundred households lowered their heads and said, "Mr. Shen, I have humbled myself and returned to my base camp."
Mr. Shen waved his hand: "You just go."
The hundred households turned around and left silently.
Mr. Shen walked to the backyard of his residence, came to the bedroom, and saw Lu Ruoxi who was teaching Shen Sangsang how to read.
Seeing that Shen Yi was in a daze, Lu Ruoxi stepped forward, held her husband's hand, and asked, "Husband, what's wrong?"
Master Shen put his arms around her, took a deep breath, and murmured softly.
"It's safe..."
