The emperor stayed on Mount Tai for three full days.
During these three days, only Shen Yi lived with him in the Taishan Courtyard, and no one else accompanied him. Three days later, the monarch and his ministers descended from Mount Tai together and returned to the palace not far from the foot of Mount Tai.
By this time, Shen Yi's wounds had recovered a lot.
His Majesty the Emperor's body has also recovered a bit. Although he is still far from being cured, at least the wound is no longer painful. If he continues to rest, he will be able to recover slowly.
Generally speaking, both of them are still in their prime, and their bodies are recovering quickly.
After arriving at the palace, several imperial doctors changed Shen Yi's medicine. After Mr. Shen got dressed, he went to meet the emperor. After meeting the emperor, Shen Yi leaned forward and said: "Your Majesty, the military situation on the front line is in full swing. I have to deal with some things." For urgent military matters, please stay outside the palace."
The emperor had just finished changing the medicine at this time. He looked up at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "What? I can't handle military affairs in my palace?"
"That's not true."
Shen Yi bowed and saluted: "It's just that there are at least ten pieces of information that need to be delivered to the ministers every day. Now the Purity Department of Northern Qi has obviously done whatever it takes. There are too many comings and goings, and it is easy for them to find loopholes. Not good for safety.”
The emperor looked at Shen Yi and smiled dumbly: "Then let people send the information to the entrance of the palace. The documents will come in and no one will come in."
Shen Yi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, some things cannot be explained clearly on paper. I must meet people who have returned from the front line and ask about the situation on the front line."
After a pause, he lowered his head and said, "Once again, I want to report my victory to Your Majesty."
His Majesty the Emperor was startled: "How do you say that?"
"Just now, I received news that Xue Wei, who is located in the northwest and also west of the battlefield, led the vanguard of the Huai'an Army. Three days ago, on the day of His Majesty's enthronement, he defeated the three guards of Xuanfu in Xuanfu and killed several enemies. Thousands, more than 2,000 of the enemy were captured, and the rest of the enemy was defeated and fled in all directions. At present, the vanguard army has occupied Xuanfu and is preparing to attack Yandu."
Mr. Shen lowered his head and spoke in a louder tone: "Your Majesty, Xuanfu is the west gate of Yandu. If you open Xuanfu, there will be a wide open door to the west of Yandu. It won't take long for the Huai'an army to arrive at the gate of Yandu. , troops are approaching the capital of Yan!"
After hearing the news, His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but patted his thigh and said excitedly: "Okay!"
"OK."
He looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "I have studied the Northern Qi forces near Yandu. Without the Xuanfu, the Yandu imperial army will not be able to defend Yandu very well. If they retreat, I am afraid they will have to retreat to Yandu city to defend it. "
"Xue Wei made another great success after conquering Shanxi."
His Majesty the Emperor put his hands on his hands and smiled and said: "Rough calculation, Xue Wei should be the most meritorious general in the Huai'an army now. I will reward him well when the frontline work is completed."
Shen Yi lowered his head and said: "The reason why the Pioneer Army can do what it does is ultimately because the Left Army and the Right Army took on the main force of Northern Qi for him. Although this credit cannot but be attributed to the Pioneer Army, it cannot be entirely attributed to it. Vanguard Army."
"I hope your Majesty will learn from this."
The emperor nodded and said with emotion: "Shen Qing can say these words, no wonder the Huai'an army can cooperate seamlessly, and there is no doubt. If other armies of the imperial court cooperate to attack Yandu, I am afraid that they will win because of some military merits." My head is bleeding."
"When I report my merits in the future, I'm afraid that I will be blushing and having a thick neck because of some merit."
Shen Yi smiled and said: "In the final analysis, they are all His Majesty's troops and the royal divisions of the imperial court. The credit belongs to everyone, so there is no need to argue like this."
Although Shen Yi has been deliberately avoiding it, in fact, there are already many mountains in the Huai'an Army.
Nowadays, there are many people fighting in the dark.
It's just that with Shen Yizhen on the bright side, this kind of rivalry will never be put on the table.
Of course, these words cannot be said to the emperor. After all, if you take it seriously, Shen Yi is the biggest leader in the Huai'an Army. He has led troops for many years. Everyone in the Huai'an Army recognizes him as Shen. However, Not everyone may recognize him as Emperor Hongde.
At this time, you must say nice words so that everyone can have a slope to go down.
His Majesty the Emperor smiled hoarsely and said, "Well, it's really inconvenient for you to live here. If you want to move out, then just move out."
At this point, he sighed: "The imperial doctor said that it will take a month for my injury to heal. I will stay in Tai'an for a month and then return to Jiankang."
Having said this, the emperor looked at Shen Yi and warned: "Shen Qing, no matter how anxious the frontline war is, you must recover from your injuries before moving. I am giving you an order now. You are not allowed to leave Tai'an within half a month. Not to mention riding around on horseback."
Shen Yi smiled and lowered his head and said, "I accept the order and thank you for your kindness."
Emperor Hongde nodded, and then suddenly remembered something, and added: "Shen Qing, if Xue Wei's troops can push to the gate of Yandu, can we let him attack the north of Yandu and block the north of Zhuli's real person?" A way out?"
Shen Yi's expression changed slightly, and then he shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, this is impossible. If the main force of any of the left and right armies reaches Xue Wei's current position, they can do what your Majesty said and block Zhu Li's real person in the pass. , but Xue Wei’s troops were already severely damaged in Shanxi. Later, after collecting some border troops from the Puppet Qi Dynasty, they barely replenished the troops to more than 20,000 people, which is still just over 20,000 troops today.”
"If you place them in the north of Yandu and let them block Master Zhuli, it won't take long for them to be crushed by Master Zhuli."
Lord Shen looked serious and said in a deep voice: "I think it's okay to let them attack Zhenren Zhuli who is retreating to the north, but it will definitely not work to stop them along the way. At least until the main force of the Huai'an army arrives near Yandu, Xue Wei can Go and block."
The emperor nodded: "I understand."
He smiled and said: "Sure enough, what is seen in the military book may not necessarily be used in the battle formation. It is Shen Qing's method of fighting that is practiced with swords and guns on the battlefield that is more practical."
Mr. Shen quickly lowered his head and expressed fear.
After the two chatted for a while, Shen Yi said goodbye to the emperor and left the palace.
…………
After returning to his garden, Lord Shen obviously relaxed a lot. He sat in his study room and looked through the documents on the desk one after another. After reading the latest document, Shen Yi rubbed it. He rubbed his eyebrows, closed his eyes and rested his mind.
The door was slowly pushed open, Jiang Sheng walked in with the decoction and said: "Sir, the medicine is ready."
Shen Yi shook his head: "I'm fine, I won't drink."
He looked at Jiang Sheng and asked, "Where is Luo Yong?"
Jiang Sheng thought for a while and then said: "We should be in Jinan City, in the middle to contact the Di newspaper offices in various places. Do you want me to call him over?"
Shen Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Forget it."
He always felt that the four assassin eunuchs in the palace that day were too weird, so he wanted to check it out.
It was not that he doubted Emperor Hongde, because Emperor Hongde had no such motive, and with his methods, he would not do it so clumsily.
But the possibility of the Purification Department taking action... is not impossible, but it's not too big either.
As the head of intelligence under Lord Shen, it would have been a good choice for Luo Yong to investigate, but if Luo Yong made any move, the emperor would definitely know about it.
As long as Shen Yi investigates this matter, it means that he does not trust the emperor, and there will definitely be a rift between the emperor and his ministers. Therefore, anyone can investigate this matter, but he alone cannot investigate it, and Luo Yong cannot be asked to investigate it. .
But Shen Yi was very curious about this matter.
In other words, he is a bit vindictive and wants to find out who is causing trouble.
If it was really the Cleansing Department who did it, then it would be fine.
After thinking for a while, Shen Yi looked at Jiang Sheng and said softly: "Go and write a letter to Xu Fu and tell him that I have military logistics matters to discuss with him."
"Let him come and see me."
Jiang Sheng lowered his head and said without thinking.
