Chapter 1035

Chapter 1035

Fengchan Taishan is one of the conditions for the achievement of an emperor through the ages.

The emperor can say these words, it is obvious that the current Emperor Hongde is ready to go down in history and become an emperor through the ages.

At this time, naturally no one dared to spoil the emperor's interest, and everyone had to support the emperor.

During a celebration banquet, Shen Yi was the second main character next to the emperor, and many high officials came to toast with him, and then said a word or two of flattery.

If he was an ordinary person, he would already be in high spirits at this time. After all, he was proud of his youth and made such a great contribution. It is normal to cock his tail, but it is not normal to not cock his tail.

However, Master Shen still had some concentration, and he was basically able to control it, and he just responded with a smile one by one.

In the end, the five prime ministers of Zhongshu were all ready to toast to Master Shen. Seeing this, Shen Yi stood up directly, and brought the jug to the five prime ministers, toasting one by one.

Among the five prime ministers, Cui Yu was naturally placed last by him.

"The lower officials are here to offer Cui Xiangjiu."

Master Shen was holding a wine glass, smiling all over his face.

Cui Yu just glanced at Shen Yi with a smile, without raising the wine glass in front of him, he said, "Master Shen has made outstanding achievements, how can Cui deserve it?"

"Grandpa Shen, let's go back, Cui will go to respect the Lord later."

Shen Yi frowned, then silently poured the wine from the glass in his hand at his feet, with a calm expression: "Don't dare to take it seriously, since Xiang Cui doesn't show face, then there is no need to drink any more."

Pouring wine on the ground, it smelled like offering sacrifices to the dead. Cui Yu's face turned pale when Shen Yi's action made him angry. Get angry.

The emperor on the throne saw this scene in his eyes, touched his chin, and after thinking for a while, he also picked up the gold cup on his table, asked Gao Ming to fill it up, and left his seat to walk in front of Cui Yu. Looking at Cui Xianggong who closed his eyes and said nothing, his expression was calm.

"Cui Xiang is so majestic. If Shen Yi doesn't drink the wine, he wonders if he will drink mine?"

He deliberately didn't use the word "朕", because he wanted to see if Cui Yu, who had closed his eyes, could distinguish his own voice.

Cui Yu opened his eyes suddenly, rolled from his seat to the ground in a panic, knelt down and kowtowed: "I am terrified..."

The emperor still looked calm, and said with a smile: "There is nothing to dare to toast at the banquet."

"Get up and drink."

Cui Yu got up in embarrassment, raised the wine glass with both hands, and drank it carefully.

But His Majesty the Emperor held the glass of wine, but did not drink it down, but turned around gracefully and returned to his seat.

The "interaction" between the emperor and the prime minister will naturally attract the attention of most people. This scene was watched by many people. Drank it down.

Yue Xiang also drank it with a smile.

The two prime ministers looked at each other without speaking, but the meaning was self-evident.

Cui used too much force, a little out of line.

This is the case in officialdom, sometimes a glass of wine, a word, or even a look can decide too many things.

This is also the reason why many people indulge in officialdom knowledge and cannot extricate themselves.

As for Shen Yi, although he would not be at a disadvantage on this occasion, he is actually not willing to spend his mind on this kind of knowledge.

In comparison, it is more interesting to calculate the enemy.

This is true whether it is calculating the enemy in the north or the enemy in Jiankang.

A luncheon was held very quickly. The emperor ordered the Shen family to be sent back home, but Shen Yi was left behind. The two monarchs and ministers entered the Ganlu Hall together.

When he arrived in Ganlu Hall, the emperor seemed to have relaxed a lot. He leaned on the soft couch and looked at Gao Ming with his eyelids raised.

"Give Shen Qing a seat."

Eunuch Gao nodded immediately, moved a chair, and placed it behind Master Shen.

Shen Yi didn't refuse either, and after thanking him, he sat down.

The emperor stretched, then looked at Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "At this time last year, you told me that you wanted to find opportunities on the Huaihe battlefield and find a way to cross the Huaihe."

"I thought..."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "Your Majesty thinks that the minister is bragging."

The emperor nodded: "Yes, I thought it was not realistic at the time."

"but…"

The emperor said softly: "Later Luo Yong came back and told me that you buried people in Xuzhou when you were in Hongde for ten years."

"It's been almost three years now."

"It is the result of recovering Southern Zhili today."

With a smile on his face, Shen Yi said: "Your Majesty may not remember, the reason why I made my mark in Jiankang back then was because of those poems about Yiyi Beiwang, since I have thought about it for a long time, it is natural to plan and embed the thread in advance. "

"Remember, why don't you remember?"

The emperor said leisurely: "The spring breeze greens the south bank of the river."

He looked to the north, as if he saw the distant Yandu, the ancestral land of the Li family, and sighed: "When will the bright moon shine on me?"

After feeling a lot of emotion, the emperor looked at Shen Yi and asked, "When did Shen Qing start preparing?"

"Hongde for eight years."

Shen Yi said calmly: "When the Di Baosi laid out Jiankang, I asked the Di Baosi to start embedding threads in the north. At that time, I also reported this matter to His Majesty, but at that time the Di Baosi was still inconspicuous. , Your Majesty probably doesn’t remember.”

The emperor thought about it, but really couldn't remember it.

Master Shen continued: "At that time, I deployed eight teams from the Dibao Division, and let some of the Dibao Division's people lurk to the north, but they did not engage in intelligence matters, but only gave them money to let them take root in the north. .”

"At the end of Hongde's tenth year, I sent Lin Sheng, the leader of the eighth team, to go north, and let him take over this part of the line that has been buried for more than two years."

"At that time, these lines were still scattered and unsystematic, but some of them had taken root in the local area and gained some influence."

"That's why Lin Sheng was able to take advantage of these local influences later to confirm his identity, so as not to show his feet, and relying on money, he successfully approached Pan Mao, the prefect of Xuzhou."

The emperor stroked his chin and asked, "You took Pan Mao's niece?"

Shen Yi did not deny it, bowed his head and said, "Yes."

The emperor said softly: "This Lin Sheng, when I came back a few days ago, I summoned him, and he didn't mention that woman from Qi."

"The woman is dead."

Shen Yi took a deep breath and lowered his voice: "After learning of Lin Sheng's identity, he hanged himself to death."

The emperor said "no".

"I really don't know about this."

The Great Chen Tianzi shook his head and said with emotion: "She is a strong woman, what a pity, why not bring her to Jiankang and give her a safe life."

The emperor said that he didn't know about this matter, that is to say, he already knew most of the other things.

Shen Yi bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the death of this woman from Qi is suspected of a cruel trick, so..."

"Lin Sheng has voluntarily resigned from the Dibao Department. He was born as a scholar and wants to be a civil servant in the future."

The emperor was a little surprised when he heard the words: "Did Shen Qing realize this suspicion of cruel tricks, or did Lin Sheng bring it up on his own initiative?"

Shen Yi was silent for a while, then said, "There are all of them."

"However, Lin Sheng has made outstanding contributions this time, and the death of the woman has greatly stimulated him, so it is indeed not suitable for him to be in the mansion's newspaper department."

Master Shen sighed silently, and said: "He is quite talented, and I originally wanted to recommend him to take over the residence newspaper department in the future."

He bowed his hands to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, Lin Shengyuan was appointed as the Secretary of the Mansion Reporting Department. He is an official of the seventh grade. Please let your majesty release his original position and give him the post of county magistrate."

The emperor looked at Shen Yi with a smile, and said: "He is an official of the Mansion News Agency, so he can be regarded as a Beijing official. If the Beijing official is released, he will be given two ranks, that is, the sixth rank."

"In addition to the capture of Xuzhou this time, he has contributed a lot."

The emperor bowed his head and thought for a while, then said: "I will let the officials have a look tomorrow, and let him know the vacancy of the state."

A state is an administrative unit between prefectures and counties.

Some prefectures are directly managed by the province, called Zhili prefectures, and some prefectures are under the escrow of the government office, which is called Sanzhou.

A state often has several counties under its jurisdiction.

Zhili Prefecture Zhizhou Zhengwupin, Sanzhou is Congwupin.

Shen Yi got up and bowed respectfully to the emperor: "On behalf of Lin Sheng, I thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Don't do that, he has made great contributions, and it would be a wrong to give him a magistrate. If it wasn't for his lack of fame, he should be given a magistrate."

Speaking of this, the emperor frowned, and said softly: "He has no fame, even if he is an officer of grace, when he arrives at the local area, most of the local officials will not obey him."

Shen Yi bowed his head and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Lin Sheng has been able to do so beautifully in the northern border for more than two years. His thoughts are enough for the city, and he has the status of the imperial court. Local officials can't bully him."

The emperor just nodded and did not continue talking, but looked up at Shen Yi, and said, "Shen Qing, what about you? What reward do you want for such a great contribution?"

"The minister's reward has been sent to Xuzhou."

Shen Yi bowed his head and said: "The soldiers of the Huai'an Army have done a lot of service, please reward the three armies, Your Majesty."

The emperor nodded happily, and said with a smile: "There is no problem with this. I have already asked the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War to prepare money, rations and official positions."

Having said that, the emperor sat up straight, and looked at Shen Yi who was also sitting on the chair with expectant eyes.

"Shen Qing was here last year, and the words she said to me have been fulfilled one by one. I don't know what else to say to me this year?"

Brother Cake is obviously asking for cakes from Master Shen.

Shen Yi looked at the bearded man, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Your Majesty, there will be a big battle on the Shandong Plain after the political situation in the Northern Court is stabilized next year."

"This battle may last for a year or two."

"I will try my best to win this battle. After winning, the front line..."

Master Shen's voice was low.

"It can be pushed to the edge of the Yellow River!"
