Chapter 163 A rare opportunity

The emperor's behavior is always top secret.

Generally, only close people like Gao Ming or some of the prime ministers in charge can accurately know the whereabouts of the emperor. After all, if this thing is known to others in advance, there will definitely be problems if there are no Qi people in Jiankang City. .

Therefore, when Gao Ming said these words to Shen Yi, he not only asked the two young eunuchs to leave, but he also did not say it explicitly, but only vaguely hinted at Shen Yi.

But this is already well understood.

Who is Gao Ming? The great eunuch of the inner court! Half of the inner minister of the imperial court!

Naturally, it would not be a small matter for him to come and talk about it in person. As long as you think about it, Jiming Temple's hint three days later will be easy to understand.

Most likely...the emperor will come to Jiming Temple.

Seeing that Shen Yi seemed to understand what he meant, Gao Ming stood up, reached out and patted Shen Yi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Shen understands, our family will not disturb Mr. Shen's rest, but Mr. Shen must remember .”

The smile on his face faded and he said lightly: "What we told you today must not be passed on to anyone else. Otherwise, once the internal guards find out, Mr. Shen may not even talk about his future, and his life may not be saved."

Even if Gao Ming didn't say it, Shen Yi could understand the seriousness of leaking the emperor's whereabouts. He quickly lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law, I haven't heard anything today."

"Um."

Eunuch Gao stood up slowly and smiled at Shen Yi: "Speaking of which, the princess from Northern Qi came to see Mr. Shen that day. I wonder why?"

Gao Ming asked this question casually.

But Shen Yi felt a thump in his heart.

He had a vague feeling in his heart that what Gao Ming said before was irrelevant, and this casual question was the most crucial question today.

Shen Qilang's brain was running rapidly.

He slowly lowered his head, clasped his fists at Eunuch Gao and said, "To be honest with you, I once wrote two short poems, and somehow they reached the ears of the Northern Qi princess. The princess said..."

"The Northern Qi Dynasty's attitude towards Chen is that it can provoke the court but not the opposition. She thinks that the poems written by me may arouse the people's desire to resist Qi, so she wants to win me over to join the Qi Dynasty."

Gao Ming remained calm and looked at Shen Yi quietly: "What then?"

Shen Yi looked serious and said in a deep voice: "My father-in-law should also know that I am a native of Jiangdu Prefecture. My great-grandfather Lieshangong once served as a member of the Ministry of Industry of Dachen, and my great-uncle Yingda Gong once served as a supervisory censor."

"I am a Chenchen of the Shen family and receive universal favor from the country. How can I associate with the Northern Barbarians?"

Shen Yi said righteously: "At that time, I was so filled with righteous indignation that I directly picked up the tea on the table and threw it in Princess Qi's face. If it weren't for the fact that she was a woman, I would have been violent with her at that time!"

Hearing this, Gao Ming looked at the gauze on Shen Yi's head and smiled: "Later, what was the injury on Mr. Shen's head?"

"That's what Princess Qi Ren's guards did."

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said, "I feel ashamed to say that the next scholar is no match for those warriors."

“It’s already pretty good.”

Gao Ming lowered his head slightly and said, "That's it for today. Our family still has a lot of things to deal with, so I'll say goodbye."

After saying this, Gao Ming took out a purple wooden sign from his sleeve. There were no words on both sides of the wooden sign, but the pattern was exquisite and had some flavor.

"Master Shen will go to Jiming Temple in three days. Remember to take this sign with you, otherwise you may not be able to enter some places."

After saying this, Eunuch Gao walked away. Shen Yi walked him all the way to the door, and then watched the sedan leave the door of his house, traveling further and further away.

After the sedan chair went away, Shen Yi took the sign in his hand, looked at it carefully, and then returned to his house with the purple wooden sign.

After returning to the house, he sat on a chair, looking at the wooden sign, and thinking to himself.

"Three days later the emperor

I should go to Jiming Temple, but..."

He frowned slightly, struggling with a question in his mind.

"It's just that the emperor wants to see me, or..."

"It was Eunuch Gao who arranged for me to meet the emperor..."

………………

Three days later, the weather was fine and the wind was gentle.

It's still early April. Although the weather is getting hotter, it's not very hot. The temperature is still a bit low in the morning and evening.

Shen Yi got up early.

Because this is a rare opportunity for him!

There are countless officials in Jiankang City. Although many people have seen the emperor from a distance during the court meetings, not many can actually see the emperor in private!

And this time, Shen Yi will most likely have a chance to meet the emperor in private!

Although Shen Yi does not want to be a poet, nor does he want to be "lucky", but if he can meet the big boss before "joining the job" and leave a good impression in front of the big boss, this will undoubtedly be of great benefit to his future career. Beneficial.

More importantly, if the big boss is happy, his future "entry" process may be much smoother!

Therefore, in order to prepare for this meeting, Shen Yi specially spent a day reading books on etiquette in Liquan Tower to avoid losing his etiquette before driving.

Originally, he could ask the cheap uncle Zhao Changping about this kind of matter, but Eunuch Gao told him not to tell anyone, so Shen Yi did not go to Zhao's house to disturb Minister Zhao.

Because he got up too early, after Shen Yi got up, the sky outside just started to light up.

He stopped a cart on the street of Jiankang City, and rode the cart towards Jiming Temple outside the city.

Jiming Temple is one of the famous temples in Jiankang. It is very popular. Every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, it is crowded with people. Fortunately, today is not the first day of the Lunar New Year or the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. When Shen Yi arrived at Jiming Temple, he found that on the small mountain road going up the mountain, There were not many people. He stood on the mountain road and looked around for a while, but he did not see any internal guards guarding him.uu看书www.uukanshu.com

But now that we have come, we naturally have to go up.

Shen touched the wooden sign in his sleeve and became bolder, walking along the mountain road towards Jiming Temple.

Although Jiming Temple is at the foot of the mountain, it is not very high. Shen Yi climbed for a while and arrived at the entrance of Jiming Temple just as the sun was rising.

After arriving at the door, he looked around and still didn't see any internal guards guarding him.

Moreover, at the entrance of Jiming Temple, you can still see pedestrians passing in and out. Although the flow of people is not large, there is still a lot of it.

Obviously, Jiming Temple is not closed.

It stands to reason that if the emperor is coming, no matter how prosperous the temple is, it should be closed to welcome the emperor, but Jiming Temple did not close the temple...

Shen Yi muttered in his heart.

"Eunuch Gao won't lie to me..."

I think so, but you still have to enter Jiming Temple. Even if the emperor doesn't come, it's not a loss to go in and visit the ancient temple.

With this in mind, Shen Yi stepped into the gate of Jiming Temple.

Jiming Temple is built on the mountain. There are still many steps after entering the temple. Shen Yi followed the pedestrians and believers, turning left and right. When he got tired, he found a place in the temple to sit and rest for a while.

Write a book

In this way, Shen Yi waited from morning until noon, but did not see the emperor's figure, not even the shadow of the inner guard.

At noon, when Shen Yi was watching the thirty-three dharma bodies of Guanyin in a hall, a young novice monk hurried over and came to Shen Yi with his hands clasped together.

"This donor, I'm really sorry. The temple is closed this afternoon and we can't entertain the donor..."
