Three days later, Shen Yi took his two wives and headed north through the east gate of Yanjing.
His Majesty the Emperor came to deliver it in person.
Now that the emperor is here, all civil and military officials are naturally present. After a lot of red tape, Shen Yi finally sets foot on the road north.
Zhang Jian stood beside Shen Yi's carriage and looked at Shen Yi sitting in the carriage with envy in his eyes.
After he sighed, he said: "I went there in a cool way, but I don't know when I will be able to escape."
Mr. Shen smiled happily.
"Senior brother, whether he is prime minister or assistant to the government, anyone can get away with it, but you can't get away with it."
"Besides, my trip to the north is for border patrol, not for sightseeing."
Mr. Zhang rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Who brought his wife and concubines with him on patrol? It's warm in the north now. You are obviously out for fun."
Master Shen did not deny it, but looked at Shen Ji who was standing not far away, and said: "Although that boy has a calm personality, he is still young after all. Senior brother is in Yanjing, look at him more for me, don't let him He made a big mistake."
Hearing this, Zhang Jian looked back at Shen Ji, suddenly lost in thought, and murmured: "Unknowingly, I have reached the position where my mentor was."
When Shen Yi and Zhang Jian were not in Jiankang, their family members were entrusted to Zhao Changping and Prime Minister Zhao to take care of them. Now in the blink of an eye, Zhang Jian also went to the court to pay homage to the Prime Minister and became the Prime Minister of that year.
Shen Yi also felt a little dazed and couldn't help but said: "Yes, senior brother...has already been ranked in the Taiwan Pavilion."
Zhang Jian came back to his senses, looked at Shen Ji, and said with a smile: "This kid is very good. It would be a pity to let him marry the princess."
"no way."
Shen Yi said silently: "First of all, the late emperor spoke, I can't refuse, secondly..."
"His brother is out leading troops, so it is unlikely that he will do much in the court. It is impossible for two brothers to serve as generals and prime ministers. Now that he has joined the Diji Reporting Department, he will do some real work."
Zhang Jian smiled and said, "Aren't you and Zichang two brothers, one general and the other?"
Shen Yi shook his head slowly and asked, "Did Zichang ever pay homage to the prime minister?"
Shen is still the Minister of Rites. Although he has a high status, he has power...
That's it.
In the eyes of outsiders, it is already extremely heavy, but compared to Zaifu, it is still much worse.
Mr. Shen continued: "Zichang, it is difficult for even the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to do it."
"I was the one who dragged him down."
Zhang Jian was startled, then shook his head and said: "Zichang is still very young, and he is not even forty yet. Zi, you think too much."
Shen Yi said "hmm" and said, "I hope so."
"Fortunately, Zi Chang is more inclined to be a wise man and has no intention of climbing up the ladder."
When the two senior brothers said this, Zhang Jian looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't tell you anymore, otherwise I will delay your journey."
He took out two plaques from his sleeves, one was engraved with the word "Fu" and the other was engraved with the word "Shou". He handed it to Shen Yi's hand and smiled heartily: "I heard that my eldest nephew, one wife and one concubine were pregnant at almost the same time, so I I took the time to carve two pieces and handed them over to my two grandchildren who I have never met."
Shen Yi reached out and took it, a little surprised: "Senior brother, did you carve it yourself?"
"Isn't that right?"
Zhang Jian was a little proud and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I learned it from a craftsman in Jiankang when I was young. I haven't done much carving in the past few years and have become unfamiliar. After a few years, I will retire and return to my hometown. I will return to Qian." Go home and study this way."
Master Shen smiled slightly.
"Old Xiangguo grew up in Yuqian and went back to Yuqian. Senior brother, you grew up in Jiankang, why do you want to go back to Yuqian?"
Zhang Jian shook his head and said: "Ancestral land, ancestral land, if you don't go back to your ancestors, you will be blamed."
Mr. Shen smiled, looked at the Emperor's Majesty not far away, and said in a low voice: "There are two things I want to ask my senior brother."
Zhang Jian nodded: "You say."
"The first thing is, should the court continue to clear the land south of the Huaihe River?"
Zhang Jian was startled, frowned, and said, "I haven't heard of this yet, but even if it is to be done, it is not now. The new emperor must secure his throne."
He looked at Shen Yi and said, "Son, if you want to do this, just say one word and the court will immediately..."
Shen Yi shook his head: "It's not appropriate for me to do it."
"The second thing."
Taishi Shen smiled and said: "I heard that His Majesty intends to replace Zhongshu. Do you want to replace the old Song leader and let me, senior brother, take charge of the office?"
Zhang Jian smiled dumbly.
"Nonsense, nonsense, Prime Minister Song is also an assistant in the government, how can we replace him?"
He paused and said in a low voice: "If I want to change, it will be the other three prime ministers."
Shen Yi thought for a while, shook his head and said.
"It should be the other two prime ministers."
"That guy Zhou Yuanlang..."
Mr. Shen snorted: "The position is very stable."
Zhang Jian shook his head helplessly: "I don't know how he offended you."
Shen Yi smiled and said: "It's not like he offended me, but I was happy to scold him behind his back."
Mr. Zhang laughed.
"Just be happy, be happy."
…………
Shen Yi and his party were not very large in number.
There were only four or five carriages on the surface, among which Shen Yi and Lu Ruoxi and Ye Chan were riding together, and the remaining people were Jiang Shengtian Chong and other servants, as well as a few accompanying guards.
But it's hard to tell how many people there are in the dark.
Leaving aside the people in the Di Reporting Department, the inner guards probably also sent heavy troops to protect Shen Yi.
Regarding the current situation, the person the court least wants to see happen to Shen Yi is none other than the newly crowned Emperor Jianlong.

The carriage left Yanjing all the way. After walking for a long time, it finally walked out of the capital. Mr. Shen opened the curtain and looked at the spring scenery outside. He waved his hand to stop the carriage and jumped out of the carriage. .
The two ladies were a little curious and got out of the carriage.
Mr. Shen walked to a small hillock next to the official road, looked at the greenery in front of him, made trumpet-like shapes with his hands, and put them to his mouth.
"ah--"
He yelled.
After resting for a while, Master Shen once again made a trumpet shape with his hands.
"ah----"
After shouting several times, he lost all strength and leaned against the big tree, staring into the distance in a daze.
Jiang Sheng stepped forward cautiously, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and handed it over: "Master, just wipe it."
Shen Yi took the handkerchief and realized that he had burst into tears without realizing it.
Why cry?
he does not know.
Maybe it was the tears that didn't fall that night when Emperor Hong De left, but now they finally fell.
It could also be the depression accumulated in my heart over the past half year.
After wiping his tears, Shen Yi handed the handkerchief back to Jiang Sheng. Looking at Jiang Sheng, whose eyes were also red, Mr. Shen felt a little funny: "Why are you crying?"
"have no idea."
Jiang Sheng shook his head.
"Just seeing the master like this makes me feel... uncomfortable..."
"I'm fine."
Shen Yi glanced at him: "Don't cry."
He turned around, and two ladies, a wife and a concubine, stood quietly behind him.
Lu Ruoxi stepped forward and held his arm, her eyes full of heartache: "Husband... are you too tired?"
Ye Chan also stepped forward and whispered: "In the past six months since the late emperor passed away, I have been very sad."
There were still tears in the corners of Shen Yi's eyes, but a smile appeared on his face.
"I'm not sad anymore. I'm not sad anymore."
"Let's continue on our way."
Master Shen said with a smile: "Don't be too anxious. Let's take a rest when we are tired. When we see the beautiful scenery, let's stop."
He turned to look at Jiang Sheng and said, "After following me around all these years, it's time for you to take a good rest."
"You don't have to worry about this journey. Just treat it as a family and come out to relax."
Jiang Sheng grinned and responded.
"Thank you, sir."
Hearing this long-lost title, Mr. Shen smiled, stepped forward and patted Jiang Sheng on the shoulder.
"Speaking of which, we brothers are closely connected."
Jiang Sheng lowered his head: "Being able to follow Young Master is the greatest blessing in my life."
The family is back on the road.
Lord Shen was sitting in the carriage, holding the hands of the two ladies, looking out the window, his mood seemed to be much better, and he made a cry like a child.
