Chapter 1038

Chapter 1038

The old man came to visit late at night, so naturally he didn't come to discuss money and food with Shen Yi.

Because of these things, I'm not very anxious. Shen Yi is in Jiankang, at least half a month or a month, and he has time to discuss anytime.

Giving a platform for the Northern Expedition is only one of the intentions.

And he came here overnight, so he naturally had a more far-reaching intention.

That is, to confess to Shen Yi.

Hand over the family property of the imperial court.

He came to tell Shen Yi how much money the imperial court had and how long it would last.

At the same time, it is also to let Shen Yi know in his heart that when facing the emperor, don't talk too much empty words, and estimate according to two years.

In this way, Shen Yi can give the court a plan that can be completed within two years, so as not to let himself fall into a passive position.

As the Dajiuqing, Zhao Changping is undoubtedly a part of the top court lords of the imperial court. These court lords sometimes wish to let others guess what they mean by coughing.

But a person of Zhao Changping's level can rush over in the middle of the night, have such a confession with Shen Yi, and "ask" Shen Yi where he can fight in two years.

It almost expresses Shen Yi.

This is very rare.

It shows that the elder Zhao Shangshu is very competent.

Shen Yi understood the meaning of what he said, so he said "Where you hit is where".

Master Shen looked at Zhao Changping, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, don't worry, no matter what my nephew does, I know it well, even if one day in the future, the Northern Expedition really..."

After a pause, Master Shen continued: "It really stopped abruptly..."

"My little nephew is also sure that we won't suffer a loss if we keep the territory we have conquered."

Zhao Shangshu patted Shen Yi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Ziheng's idea of ​​where you hit is very good, and it is enough to seek truth from facts."

"In a few days' court meeting, no matter who is flattering you, or playing tricks on you, you must stick to this statement."

"In this way, in the future, I won't stumble because of this matter, and I won't leave anything for others to talk about."

"Now that you are in the limelight, many people see you with envy."

Zhao Shangshu said softly: "Even Zichang, there are many people who want to set up a trap to hold him."

"In the first two months, it wasn't for the old man's reminder that he almost fell into the trap."

Shen Yi frowned immediately, and said with a frown, "Who?"

"It shouldn't be a faction opponent."

Zhao Shangshu said indifferently: "Some officials in the imperial court who want to speculate get close to Zichang and want to lure him to the Qinhuai River, and then use some Qinhuai River women to catch Zichang's pain."

"In this way, Uncle Jiang's younger brother can be captured."

"It's for personal gain."

"It's not uncommon for this group of people to go the same way for young officials."

Master Shen said slowly: "Zichang never mentioned it at all, and I don't know anything about it."

Zhao Shangshu shook his head and said: "Since they didn't succeed, then they didn't do it. It's not good to make a big show, and it's not good to raise a teacher. You are an upstart, and many people think you are uncomfortable."

"Don't be too domineering."

Shen Yi nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "I have written down the teachings of my uncle."

"Don't worry, my nephew won't be too domineering, it's just that Jiankang has a mansion newspaper."

"I'll ask the Dibao Division to look into these things."

Master Shen said softly: "My nephew is also serving as the deputy capital censor of Yushitai. It is one of my responsibilities to clean up the Qing court."

Zhao Changping smiled dumbly: "Ziheng has always acted in a proper manner, so the old man can rest assured."

The two were in the study, talking for half an hour before Zhao Changping left, but he didn't leave Shen's house, but went to the backyard to meet his old friend Lu Anshi and talk about the past, and went to discuss the matter of Jiankang Ganquan Academy.

Taking advantage of this time, Shen Yi found Shen Heng, pulled the court official from Zhongshushe aside, and asked, "Did someone in the court try to use tricks on you more than a month ago?"

Shen Heng was startled, then shook his head and said, "Little brother didn't notice."

"However, at that time, there were two colleagues in the Zhongshu Department who were also members of the Zhongshu Sheren. They were very enthusiastic about the younger brother, and often invited the younger brother out for drinks."

Shen Yi looked at him.

"Go to Qinhuai River to drink?"

Shen Heng nodded embarrassingly.

"Went a few times..."

"One time later, I ran into Master Zhao in the imperial city. The master said that I was not allowed to indulge in sensuality, so my younger brother never went there again."

Shen Yi looked at his brother, but did not speak.

It is not easy to learn good, but easy to learn bad.

Shen Heng went to the Qinhuai River to drink flower wine, but it was nothing. After all, in this era, it was not a big deal for literati.

But if he comes into contact with other things, such as gambling, someone like him who doesn't understand anything, will owe a lot of debt if he is not careful.

At that time, it will become a handle.

If it's just gambling, it's not a big problem for the Shen family. After all, Xu Fu is very rich. It doesn't matter if someone like Zhao Er's family is well off and has spent half his life in brothels and gambling halls.

Just be afraid, some vicious people will get the murder case on Shen Heng's head, that's the real handle, and it's hard to get rid of it.

Shen Yi was silent for a while without speaking.

The brother has grown up, won the Jinshi, and became an official, so he can no longer speak harsh words.

After thinking about it, he patted Shen Heng on the shoulder, and said softly: "If you really want to go to a place like Qinhuai River, I don't care about you, but you must be cautious when making friends, and don't go astray."

Shen Heng is very smart, he sensed that his brother's mood was not right, he quickly explained: "Brother, two months ago, my younger brother learned that the siege of Xuzhou had been lifted, and my brother was safe and sound, so I felt much better. Get along well with your colleagues, so..."

Shen Yi smiled.

"Okay, you don't need to explain anything to me, you are already an official of the court, and you will be a father soon."

"It's just that when you are an official in the imperial court, you should be more thoughtful when you come into contact with people."

Shen Heng nodded knowingly.

...

Half an hour later, Zhao Shangshu left. Before leaving, he invited Mr. Lu to visit Zhao's house tomorrow to discuss the affairs of Ganquan Academy.

Obviously, the old man is planning to skip work tomorrow.

As the chief official of the household department, he didn't have any difficulty skipping work, but the little old man has always been very dedicated, and he hardly skipped work.

Mrs. Lu sent him to the gate of Uncle Jiangdu's mansion, and Shen Yi sent him all the way to the carriage. In the winter night, Master Shen bowed his hands and said: "Master, please come late at night, my nephew is very grateful."

Zhao Changping boarded the carriage and said with a smile: "The main reason is to discuss the academy with your teacher. It is rare that the Ganquan Academy has flourished in our generation. This Jiankang academy must be run well."

"After knowing that An Shi agreed to set up an academy in Jiankang, I have written letters to contact many old friends. At least there are no shortage of gentlemen from the academy."

Shen Yi bowed his head and said: "Master, don't worry, my nephew will arrange the place in the academy."

To arrange the place is to be responsible for providing the venue.

Zhao Changping said with a smile: "Since His Majesty asked your father-in-law to open it, it is naturally paid for by internal funds, so you don't need to worry about it."

Shen Yi nodded first, and after hesitating for a while, he asked: "Master, the second elder brother will probably be back in a few days, should you let him stay in the Jiankang household department to work next year?"

"My nephew can recommend him."

"Second brother's current contribution is more than enough to be promoted."

Zhao Shangshu shook his head slightly, and said: "He has been in Jiankang for so many years, but he has been useless. Leaving him in Jiankang will only harm him."

"Although I don't know if he has really changed like Ziheng you said, but it's rare that he can do something in the north, so let him follow you all the time."

Zhao Shangshu sighed softly: "At least, let him make a career."

Shen Yi lowered his head and wrote it down.

On the carriage, Zhao Changping waved and said, "It's cold, there's no need to see Ziheng off, let's go back."

"I'm at home tomorrow, remember to ask your teacher to come to my house."

Shen Yi stopped, and sincerely saluted Zhao Changping's carriage.

"Master, go slowly."

At this moment, Master Shen was filled with emotion.

This is the Minister of the Household Department of the dynasty.

Chengliang teacher also.
