Chapter 1036 The game of peers
On the edge of the Yellow River, almost half of Shandong is covered.
It can even be said to be the vast majority.
At that time, it was not too far away from restoring the old Chen territory.
If Dachen's land is pushed to the edge of the Yellow River, and most of the Central Plains are restored, then even if there is no stronger force going north in a short period of time, after occupying the Central Plains, recuperating for a few years, and then relying on explosive troops, Hu Qi can be given Hurry back to the outside of the pass.
After His Majesty the Emperor heard this, he was silent for a long time without saying a word. After a long time, he opened his mouth in a low voice.
"Shen Qing has given me too many surprises in recent years."
His Majesty the Emperor took several deep breaths before calming down his agitated mood.
After he lowered his head and took a sip of tea, he looked up at Shen Yi with a serious expression on his face: "If Da Chen's land can really be restored to the edge of the Yellow River, or the land in Henan Province can be restored, Shen Qing will be my second since Da Chen went south. Shihou."
"The princes of all generations will rest with the country."
After Da Chen went south, the first Marquis was Zhao Chong, Marquis of Anping. After the death of General Zhao, he was posthumously named Duke Dingguo.
In other words, after Shen Yi was granted the title of Marquis, if nothing unexpected happened, when he came to the future, he would most likely be able to receive the title of Duke.
As for Wang Jue.
After Da Chen founded the country, there were no more kings with different surnames.
Shen Yi did not answer, but was a little surprised, and said: "Your Majesty, Henan should be the main attack of the West Route Army. If it is captured or not, it should have nothing to do with the minister. How can the credit of Henan be counted on the minister's head?" superior?"
The emperor stepped down from the throne and asked Gao Ming to move another chair. He sat opposite Master Shen, reached out and patted Shen Yi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "That's an official statement. After all, those old things in the court , now there is no way to accept a generalissimo of the Northern Expedition in his 20s."
"This is a long-standing evil, and I will not be able to change them in a short time."
"I don't have the energy to bother with them about this kind of thing."
"Therefore, there is the saying of East and West Roads."
"My idea is that although the West Route Army in Henan and Shaanxi will not be under the control of Shen Qing, the overall strategy will be formulated by you, Shen Qing."
"In this way, even if the West Route Army can't make great achievements like the Huai'an Army, at least it won't become a drag on the Huai'an Army."
When the emperor said this, he turned his head to look at eunuch Gao, Gao Ming immediately lowered his head, turned his head and waved his hand, dismissing the palace servants.
After everyone left, the emperor cleared his throat, and continued: "I called Shen Qing back, and the most important thing is to decide together with Shen Qing, who will be the leader of the West Route Army."
The emperor snapped his fingers and said, "The five commanders of the Fifth Battalion of the Forbidden Army are all handsome generals, and they are all second-rank generals. Logically speaking, they are all qualified to serve as the chief generals of the West Road."
"Originally, Minister of the Ministry of War could also be used as an alternative, but Jiang Jian is too old."
The emperor clapped his palms together, and said eloquently: "At present, the only ones I can use are these five handsome men. I have asked Gao Ming to sort out all their materials. After a while, I will send them to you." Go to Jiang Dubo's mansion."
Shen Yi frowned, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, this is a matter between the Chamber of Commerce and the Ministry of War. Although the minister is the Minister of the Ministry of War, he has not been confirmed as an official in the hall. How can he intervene in these matters?"
"It's up to you to ask, you have to ask."
The emperor looked serious, and said in a deep voice: "Shen Qing, the Northern Expedition is not a trivial matter. You and the soldiers are fighting to the death with the Qi people on the front line. I am in Jiankang, and I am walking on thin ice."
"We monarchs and ministers should abandon selfishness and work together."
There were no outsiders at the moment, and the emperor said directly: "Da Chen said he was traveling south, but in fact he was fleeing south. After so many years of fleeing south, even General Zhao Chong could not shake the people of Qi. Shen Qing, you have such extraordinary achievements."
"Recently, I often have a feeling in my heart."
The emperor looked at Shen Yi with a serious face and said: "It seems that, Shen Qing, you are the one who came down from the sky to revive me, Da Chen!"
Hearing this kind of slightly nasty words, Master Shen got goose bumps all over his body.
But his mind remained clear.
The person of the same age in front of him has known him for many years. In a sense, the two can be regarded as friends. After all, they have known each other for many years and visited brothels together. They are worthy of being called friends.
If the young man in front of him was not the emperor, the two of them could even be regarded as close friends.
But he happened to be the emperor.
And he is a very qualified emperor.
If it is said that His Majesty the Emperor eight years ago in Hongde still had some youthful spirit, but after Hongde's seven-year defeat, after he was forced to marry Princess Izumo of the Northern Qi Dynasty in the eighth year of Hongde, he began to become more and more mature. He doesn't look like a teenager any more.
Up to now, the 24-year-old His Majesty the Great Chen Emperor, almost all his actions and behaviors start from the identity of the emperor.
He is the emperor, Shen Yi can only be a courtier.
Don't think of yourself as a friend.
On this point, both Mr. Gu and Master Zhao Changping have warned Shen Yi many times.
Shen Yi also remembered it clearly in his heart.
After all, His Majesty the emperor is very rational in his bones. After his methods gradually matured, the emperor's mind never stopped working.
Therefore, all conversations with the emperor must first be considered politically.
Shen Yi hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty's words are absurd."
The emperor was stunned: "What kind of fallacy?"
Shen Yi's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "I am a Jinshi of Hongde for seven years. If there is no support from your majesty, I will lose all my wealth in my family. At most, I will fill up the vacancies in the tenth year of Hongde and the eleventh year of Hongde. Up to now, I am lucky. It is only a two- or three-year county magistrate when he is added to the county magistrate."
"A minister's official position may not be comparable to Senior Brother Zhang and Uncle Zhao. It is estimated that it will be difficult to get ahead as a magistrate in three years. It may be possible to move to the prefecture after working as a magistrate for ten years."
"One is not good. If you offend the Shangguan, you may not even be able to be an official."
Master Shen looked respectful, lowered his head slightly, and said, "It's all because Your Majesty knows people well and promotes me, so I can only be what I am today. If I say that I have made some superficial contributions, then [-]% of the credit belongs to Your Majesty. [-]% depends on the subject himself."
The emperor was speechless by Shen Yi's words.
He froze for a long time before he patted Shen Yi's shoulder helplessly, and laughed dumbly: "Zhao Shangshu said in front of me more than once, he said that Shen Qing, you are young and mature, you can do things without leaking, and you can achieve great things."
"Now it seems that what he said is really good."
The emperor said with a smile: "Shen Qing, you are really watertight."
"You and I are the same age."
The emperor said with emotion: "You are still a few months younger than me. Sometimes, I feel that I am far inferior to you in many aspects."
Master Shen got up in a hurry and was about to kneel down to salute, saying that he was panicked.
The emperor supported him, shook his head and said, "You know, I don't like these fake things."
His Majesty the Emperor took a look at Gao Ming, and said, "The information I asked you to sort out will be sent to Jiang Dubo's mansion later."
Eunuch Gao bowed his head: "Your servant obeys."
The emperor patted Shen Yi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Shen Qing has a gap in her heart, but she is constrained by the so-called position and position, and refuses to show it. It's not surprising that you have fear in your heart. Not many start well and end well.”
"I don't blame you, and I don't make it difficult for you."
"However, you'd better take it back and have a look at these handsome materials. I don't want you to give me any opinions or suggestions. It's just that no matter who I choose next year, you just have to have some confidence."
Master Shen bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love."
"Your Majesty is a wise king through the ages. I believe that Your Majesty will be able to select a good general for the Northern Expedition."
The emperor rubbed his temples, sighed and said: "I am really afraid that I will delay Shen Qing."
"Forget it, before Shen Qing reads their information, you just tell me a little bit."
"For the generals of the Northern Expedition, what is the most important thing."
Shen Yi thought for a while, and then said: "The most important thing is to do things with sincerity, and the most taboo is to be pragmatic when fighting a war. You must be pragmatic."
The emperor nodded and closed his eyes: "Okay, I have made a note. In the next few days, I will seriously consider the list of the West Route Army."
Shen Yi knew that the emperor was ready to end the meeting between the two of them at this moment. He first bowed his hands to the emperor, hesitated for a while, and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, if the commander of the West Route Army does anything to hinder the Northern Expedition , the minister must write to him."
Hearing this, the emperor felt a little more relaxed.
"After talking for so long, Shen Qing, you finally said something to me."
"With your words, I feel more at ease."
Shen Yi bowed his head respectfully: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, please leave."
The emperor looked at the sky outside and nodded.
"clever."
"Send Shen Qing out for me."
Eunuch Gao bowed his head.
His Majesty the Emperor stood up in person, looked at Shen Yi, and said, "Shen Qing, rest at home during this time, it is best not to go out, let alone go back to Jiangdu's hometown, if I have any ideas, I will call you into the palace at any time. "
Shen Yi bowed to his orders.
"My minister obeys."
After thinking about it, the emperor said, "What else does the Huai'an Army need? You go back and write a memorial, and I will instruct the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War to handle it expeditiously."
Master Shen bowed again to thank him.
"The ministers represent the Huai'an army..."
"Thank you Your Majesty!"
……
After Shen Yi said goodbye and left.
Emperor Hongde stood in the Ganlu Hall and watched Shen Yi leave. He looked at Shen Yi's back and narrowed his eyes slightly.
No one knows.
What the hell is he thinking.
