Shen Yi took the newspaper, read it carefully again, and then sat in his yard, lost in thought.
Shen Heng sat next to him. At this moment, he also reacted a little and said thoughtfully: "Brother, has this matter raised you too high..."
Shen Yi shook his head slightly: "I'm not thinking about this."
He looked at his brother and said, "You just said that the people voluntarily worshiped this so-called Marshal Shen. I was wondering whether it was voluntary."
He looked up at the sky and said slowly: "If I were dead now, then the people would spontaneously make offerings to me. After ten or twenty years, it would be agreed that it would not be unusual to have such a Marshal Shen, but one or two Years passed. Firstly, I was fine. Secondly, there was no decree from the imperial court to consecrate the gods. How could Marshal Shen be born out of thin air?"
Shen Heng was shocked when he heard this and almost lost his voice: "Brother, are you saying that someone might have done this on purpose?"
"It's not possible. Someone must be causing trouble behind the scenes. I'm just wondering who is doing this."
Shen Yi lowered his eyebrows and said: "Over the years, I have offended too many people. The civil servants in the court have reasons to do this, and the nobles of the clan also have motives to do this. However, the most likely ones are probably the remnants of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the Qingjing Dynasty lurking in the south. manage."
Little Bachelor Shen couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, shook his head and said: "It's not that the elder brother reminded me of these things, the younger brother just can't remember them at all, and he is even a little happy because of it."
"When my elder brother said this, I was shocked to realize the turmoil behind this matter."
Mr. Shen smiled hoarsely: "It has only been nine years since you became a Jinshi. In these nine years, you have been working in Jiankang and have never been to any place. It is not surprising that you think less."
Having said this, Shen Yi paused and said: "In the past two months, I should arrange for people to go. Basically, you have a place to go. Zichang, you can almost move around now. You are going to be an official somewhere." , or will you always be in the court?"
Shen Heng lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Brother, I still want to go somewhere to see the world, but I am worried that I am not capable enough and will cause trouble when I go somewhere."
Mr. Shen thought for a while and said: "The local forces are complex. You have never been to the local area. You may not be able to adapt to the sudden release. Moreover, your brother is being watched by countless people now. It may not be safe for you to go outside. My idea is that you first go to the Sixth Department and work as a division officer for a few years."
"Being a division officer in the Sixth Department is also very training. You have to deal with countless things every day."
Mr. Shen chuckled softly and said: "I suggest you go to the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Household Affairs. Our family can talk to these two yamen."
Shen Heng lowered his head and said: "Brother, I'd better go to the Criminal Department."
"If the elder brother continues to take care of the younger brother like this, I'm afraid the younger brother will never be able to become a useful person in his lifetime."
Shen Yi nodded lightly: "Okay, I'll go say hello to you in a few days."
Shen Heng sat next to Shen Yi, looked at the Di newspaper on the table, and said, "Brother, what's going on with this god..."
Mr. Shen lowered his head and looked at the Di newspaper, and said calmly: "If they only spread it among the people, brother may not find it for a while. Even if it is discovered, it will not be easy to trace, but now, they are all posted on Di Report it."
Shen Yi sneered: "You really don't take me seriously at all."
"It was your brother who started this newspaper back then!"
He put away the newspaper, then looked at Shen Heng, and said: "I will send people to investigate this matter. At most, I can find the person responsible in ten days and a half. If I can't catch those behind the scenes, at least Those who do these things will definitely be found."
Shen Heng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then I came here to inform the elder brother, and I have made a great contribution."
Mr. Shen shook his head slightly: "I was slacking off."
After that, he stood up, put the newspaper in his arms, and said, "I'm going out."
After Mr. Shen left the Shen family, he got on the carriage and went all the way to the imperial city. After entering the palace, he greeted the little eunuch in the palace. Not long after, the slightly fat eunuch Sun Jin came He jogged all the way and ran to Shen Yi.
He bowed to Shen Yi respectfully and said, "Master Marquis."
"If you have something to tell me, just send someone here. I will go to you immediately. Where can I help you go there in person?"
Mr. Shen smiled: "Eunuch Sun is too polite."
He took out the Di newspaper from his arms, unfolded it in front of Sun Jin, and then said: "Eunuch Sun, the Di newspaper department has been under the control of the palace for a long time. How can such articles promoting obscene temples be used by the palace? Has it been reviewed and published all over the world?"
Sun Jin was stunned. He took the Di Di newspaper and glanced at it. He quickly read the article. Then the eunuch scratched his head and said: "Master Marquis, I am no longer in charge of the Di Di newspaper department. I will be in charge soon." Just go and ask and I will give you an answer tomorrow."
Mr. Shen said softly: "Tomorrow, I will wait for news about my father-in-law at home. I want to know who wrote this article and who reviewed it in the inner court, or..."
Shen Yi paused: "How much money did the person in charge of the imperial newspaper charge in the inner court receive?"
Eunuch Sun wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation."
Having said this, he paused and said: "The news of your entry into the palace has probably alerted His Majesty. Would you like to go to His Majesty's place..."
Shen Yi thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "Please let me know, father-in-law."
After a while, Mr. Shen successfully met His Majesty the Emperor, who was rarely seen by countless people in the court even if they sharpened their heads. His Majesty the Emperor was looking through the documents in the north. When he noticed that Shen Yi came in, he put down the ink pen in his hand. , said with a smile: "What happened, Shen Qing, that made you rush into the palace to find Sun Jin?"
Mr. Shen lowered his head and said, "I have to ask Eunuch Sun for advice on some matters concerning the Di Newspaper Company."
After Shen Yi briefly explained the matter, he said: "Your Majesty, this folk god of obscenity, his name is Marshal Shen, but his name is Qilang. Although he does not necessarily refer to the minister, there are too many similarities, which will inevitably arouse suspicion. If you think about it, some people may even make a fuss out of it."
"I think there must be someone with ulterior motives behind this incident, secretly fueling the situation. We must clean it up from the root."
"However, the Di Reporting Department is no longer under my control, so I came to the palace to ask for help from Eunuch Sun. I want to use the Di Reporting Department as a line to find out all the villains who are causing trouble in the dark."
His Majesty the Emperor touched his chin and pondered for a while, then lowered his head to read the article published in the Di newspaper, and then said: "If Shen Qing doesn't tell me, I haven't discovered the problem in it yet."
He paused, then said with a smile: "Shen Qing is right, this matter must be investigated clearly and hidden dangers eliminated."
His Majesty the Emperor stood up, stretched, and said, "I originally wanted to order you, Qing Shen, to enter the palace today, but you can do it yourself, so I don't need to bother you."
Mr. Shen bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty orders."
His Majesty the Emperor walked around, relaxed his muscles, and then said seriously: "Emperor Sejong's underground palace will be opened in the next few days. There needs to be a person in charge there, otherwise it will be against the rules."
"Originally I should have gone in person, but there are too many things going on in the court."
His Majesty the Emperor looked at Shen Yi and said: "Shen Qing, please keep an eye on it these days. In three days, I will personally preside over the relocation of Emperor Sejong's tomb."
Shen Yi was startled, then looked up at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty will leave in three days?"
"I'm not that anxious."
"In the past two months, many rituals have been performed. After Emperor Sejong's coffin is raised, the rituals will take another seven days. After ten days, the coffins will begin to be transported to Yandu."
"When the time comes, Shen Qing, you and the coffin will go north together."
His Majesty the Emperor said slowly: "I will accompany you later."
Shen Yi bowed his head and responded: "I obey."
His Majesty the Emperor warned: "When you go back, remember to say hello to your family and pack up. Your whole family will move to the north."
Having said this, Emperor Hong De sighed: "In the past ten years, Shen Qing has been traveling around for the imperial court, and the family has rarely been reunited. I can no longer let you be separated from each other."
Shen Yi raised his head and glanced at His Majesty the Emperor, then lowered his head slightly and said, "My lord, thank you for your grace."
The emperor walked up to Shen Yi and said, "I know that Shen Qing is cautious, especially at this time. There is nothing wrong with you being cautious, but there is no need to be nervous about everything."
"I have never had any doubts about Shen Qing."
Shen Yi leaned forward and said with a smile: "I understand, but you still have to be careful about things you should be careful about, so as not to be taken advantage of by traitors."
The emperor nodded.
"This is what it should be."
He said seriously.
"Qing Shen, please remember."
"Only when you and I, the king and our ministers, are in peace, can Dachen be as stable as Mount Tai."
