Chapter 1120 Taking concubines and marching into the army
Two days later, His Majesty the Emperor left Qufu consciously.
I don’t know whether he was urged too much by the Queen Mother or because there were many things in the court waiting for him to go back and deal with. This time, His Majesty the Emperor, who is a bit out of touch by nature, did not even go to Yanzhou City to take a look, and went directly south from Qufu all the way there. Xuzhou.
In order to protect the safety of the big boss, Shen Yi led the two thousand-household camps of his guard camp and escorted them all the way to the Huaihe River in the south of Xuzhou Mansion. Mr. Shen stopped and said goodbye to the emperor at the Huaihe River. .
At this time, the emperor's dragon boat had been waiting on the bank of the Huaihe River for a long time.
For a long time, the Huaihe River has been the boundary between the two countries. Therefore, crossing the Huaihe River is the territory of Dachen, and His Majesty the Emperor is completely safe.
Standing on the edge of the Huaihe River, the monarch and his ministers looked towards the south of the Huaihe River. Shen Yi thought for a moment and then asked first: "The Huaihe River Navy has been split up. I don't know where Lord Zhao Hou is now?"
The emperor turned back, glanced at Shen Yi behind him, and said with a smile: "Why, Shen Qing still remembers the grudge from back then?"
"That's not true."
Mr. Shen thought for a while and said: "I and Mr. Zhao are just fighting over ideas, and there is no big personal grudge. Now the dispute over ideas has been settled, and I have defeated Mr. Zhao."
"The only discord between the minister and the Zhao family is the few whips Miss Zhao used to beat me."
The emperor squinted his eyes and said: "That ignorant woman has not left the court yet. If she refuses to get married, it will be difficult for her to get married in her life."
Having said this, the emperor smiled and said: "As for Zhao Lu."
"He has returned to Jiankang and is staying at the Anpinghou Mansion. He never leaves the front door or takes a step forward on weekdays."
"After all, he was a hero, but now he has shrunk his head and behaved like a human being. I shouldn't treat him too harshly, lest the government and the public would be disappointed."
Shen Yi nodded and said, "What your Majesty said is right."
At this point, the emperor suddenly felt playful in his heart. He turned around, looked at Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "Shen Qing has been married for many years, and she still doesn't have a serious concubine. Otherwise, when I go back, I will give Anping The Marquis has issued a decree to ask Zhao Lu to give you his little daughter as a concubine."
The emperor smiled narrowly: "She can't get married anyway, so being your concubine to Shen Zhongcheng won't be considered an insult to her. After you take her into your family, you can air out your grievances from back then."
He looked at Mr. Shen and said with a smile: "Maybe she can get back the whip she gave you back then."
Shen Yi was so shocked by the emperor's words that he coughed repeatedly. He smiled helplessly and said, "Your Majesty, please stop joking. The fourth girl is the legitimate daughter of the Anping Marquis Mansion. How can she be my concubine? Don't talk about doing this. Even if you bring it up, Lord Zhao will be so angry that he will vomit three liters of blood."
The emperor smiled calmly and said: "It doesn't matter whether he is weak or not. Besides, he has given us so much irritation in the past few years. Can't we return some of it now?"
As he spoke, His Majesty the Emperor said leisurely: "Besides, if I really mention this matter now, with the temperament of that Marquis Zhao, he might be happy to agree, and at the end of the year my daughter will be tied up and sent to your home. go."
General Zhao Lu, Zhao, values the inheritance of his family business most.
Nowadays, although the Zhao family is still nominally the general of the Hou Mansion, the decline of the family is a fact visible to the naked eye.
What's more, the Zhao clan offended the emperor a lot back then.
Now, if the emperor wanted to humiliate and humiliate the Zhao family to vent his anger, Zhao Lu might really agree happily, letting the emperor and Shen Yi vent their anger.
After all, sending your daughter out would only be a loss of face at most.
As for the fourth girl’s own thoughts…
For a big family, a woman is too insignificant.
No one would consider her thoughts at all.
For a moment, Mr. Shen himself even felt a little moved. After all, he was indeed very angry with the fourth lady of the Zhao family. If he could take her home as a concubine, then those few whips...
You can really smoke whenever and however you want, you can even take her to Yanzhou Prefecture to smoke.
However, after being in a trance for a while, Shen Yi came back to his senses. After coughing, he shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I have to concentrate on military affairs and have no time to take care of other things. If Your Majesty really wants to marry this fourth girl, should you choose another one?" Just find someone else."
The emperor looked at Shen Yi's expression, reached out and patted Shen Yi's shoulder, and laughed heartily: "No hurry, no rush."
"That girl, it will be difficult to get married soon. When you return to Jiankang during the Chinese New Year, if you really have this intention, my words will still stand."
Master Shen touched his nose and said helplessly: "Her brother Zhao Zhuo is still working in the army. If such a thing is true, I'm afraid Zhao Zhuo will bring his sword to the army tent in the middle of the night."
The emperor smiled dumbly: "You still can't subdue him?"
While the two were talking, the dragon boat finally docked. Eunuch Gao sent someone to check the boat. After confirming that there was no problem, he ran all the way to the emperor and bowed his head respectfully: "Your Majesty, the dragon boat is ready and you can board it. "
The emperor put his hands behind his back and looked at Shen Yi with some emotion: "In this case, I will go back."
“This trip was too short and I didn’t have a lot of fun.”
After His Majesty the Emperor said this, he smiled at Shen Yi and said, "After the war is over, Shen Qing will accompany me to go out for a walk and see all the famous mountains and rivers in the world."
Mr. Shen bowed his head respectfully: "I am honored to do so."
The emperor walked towards the dragon boat with his hands behind his back.
"Your time is precious. I have already burdened you a lot these days, so I won't delay your fight."
"You don't have to send me any more, just go back now."
Mr. Shen nodded respectfully, stood on the shore, bowed deeply to His Majesty the Emperor and said, "I would like to send you off to Your Majesty."
The emperor, who had already boarded the deck, looked back at Shen Yi, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Capture Shandong as soon as possible and return to Jiankang to receive the reward."
Shen Yi could only bow his head again.
"Wei Chen obeys your orders!"
At this moment, the dragon boat weighed anchor.
On the shore, the officials of Xuzhou Prefecture, as well as some ordinary people who had been arranged to come over, knelt neatly on the shore to send off His Majesty the Emperor.
Everyone knelt down. Shen Yi couldn't help but kneel down, so he also knelt down on the ground.
It was not until the dragon boat slowly moved away and reached the middle of the Huai River that Shen Yi and others stood up.
As soon as he got up, a middle-aged official in a fifth-grade official uniform climbed up from the ground, came to him, and carefully dusted off Shen Yi's knees.
"Master Zhongcheng has worked hard, and I have prepared tea. I would also like to ask you to come and have a sip of tea..."
At the beginning of the year, Shen Yi had already been appointed as the right deputy censor of the capital. Although he had not yet been appointed as the governor at this time, the title of Zhongcheng was quite reasonable.
Master Shen looked at this fifth-grade official who was almost in his early thirties, and asked with a smile: "Where can I become an official?"
The official lowered his head respectfully and said, "I am going to be the magistrate of Sizhou, Tang Yongnian..."
Mr. Shen nodded and said with a smile, "It turns out to be Tang Zhizhou."
"Tang Zhizhou is quite enthusiastic."
In this world, no one dislikes discerning people, and Shen Yi is no exception.
Although from a rational point of view, this Tang Zhizhou is likely to be a villain, but at least at this time, Shen Yi is still willing to give him a smile.
Mr. Shen yawned and said, "But there are still many things in the frontline army that I need to handle back home."
"I will write down this tea first, and when I come back from the front one day and pass by Sizhou, I will ask Tang Zhizhou to make up for it."
Tang Yongnian was very happy when he heard this.
"The lower official obeys the order, the lower official obeys the order..."
He was a little excited: "Your Majesty asked someone to prepare a sedan chair to take Zhongcheng back to Yanzhou?"
Shen Yi shook his head slightly: "No, I'll ride back."
He looked at the officials surrounding him and said helplessly, "Everyone should go back to his duties."
"If anything happens, Mr. Zhang will contact you."
After saying this, Shen Yi led his guards, got on their horses, and headed straight back to Yanzhou City.
The bank of the Huaihe River is already far away from Yanzhou.
Shen Yi drove here from Qufu and traveled almost half a month.
Therefore, even if we ride back, it will take two or three days at the earliest.
However, because it was indeed urgent, he rushed back quickly. By the time he returned to Yanzhou, it was already the afternoon of the third day.
Master Shen had just returned to his headquarters. Three generals, including Ling Su and Xue Wei, were already waiting for him in the palace for almost half a day.
Thanks to the communication from the Di News Department, Shen Yi had informed them of their meeting here in advance.
When the three people saw Shen Yi, they all stood up and bowed to salute.
Mr. Shen didn't talk nonsense. He sat directly in his seat and got straight to the point.
"Your Majesty's visit has wasted a lot of time."
"Fortunately, it also gives our new recruits more time to adapt."
"Now, His Majesty has returned to Jiankang, and the war in Shandong has reached a point where it has to be fought."
Mr. Shen lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and said, "Besides, because we have been delayed for some time, our battle can no longer be delayed."
"Let's discuss today..."
Shen Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "Should we attack Jinan Prefecture first, or attack the other four prefectures in Shandong first?"
