Chapter 165: Trying to figure out the Sacred Heart
Shen Yi had already dozed off in the quiet room at this moment.
Mainly because he got up too early in the morning, spent the whole morning at Jiming Temple, and hadn't had lunch yet. Now in the afternoon, he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, so he lay down on the table in the quiet room and fell asleep.
Finally, a little eunuch walked into the quiet room and called him up. The little eunuch reached out and patted Shen Yi on the shoulder and whispered: "Master Shen, Master Shen!"
Shen Yi woke up in a daze and looked back at the little eunuch. Before he could speak, he heard the little eunuch continue: "Your Majesty has arrived at Jiming Temple and wants to see Mr. Shen."
After hearing these words, Shen Yi's sleepiness dissipated.
He shook his head to let his sleepiness dissipate a little, then stood up, rubbed his eyes, and said to the little eunuch who was leading the way: "Let your father-in-law laugh, and your father-in-law will lead the way."
The young eunuch looked at Shen Yi and smiled: "I have been working in the palace for some years, and this is the first time I dare to fall asleep when someone is waiting to see me."
He smiled at Shen Yi and said, "Let's go, Mr. Shen."
After saying that, the little eunuch turned around and walked in front to lead the way.
Shen Yi was arranging his hair and clothes while following the little eunuch. The two of them walked around Jiming Temple for a while, and finally came to the stairway of a small building in the temple. The little eunuch stopped at the stairway and said: Shen Yi lowered his head and said: "Mr. Shen, His Majesty is above. Just go up and see the driver."
Shen Yi nodded quickly, thanked the young eunuch, and walked up the stairs of the small building to the second floor.
The second floor of this small building is surrounded by gout. It was originally used for the monks who translated and studied scriptures in the temple to escape the summer heat. Now the emperor came, and Abbot Wuming took the emperor to this small building to relieve the summer heat.
I have to say that the second floor of this small building is indeed very cool, with the north-south breeze blowing through, making it very cool.
Shen Yi came all the way to the second floor. When he saw that the door on the second floor was open, he glanced up and saw a young man standing with Gao Ming. Eunuch Gao stood with his hands down, respectful.
Then, the identity of this young man is self-evident.
Shen Yi knelt outside the door, bowed his head respectfully and said: "Student Shen Yi, a student from Jiangdu County, Jiangdu Prefecture, would like to ask the Holy Ann."
Originally, the young emperor was blowing in the wind on the second floor and closing his eyes to rest. After hearing Shen Yi's voice, the young emperor opened his eyes, glanced at Shen Yi kneeling outside the door, and smiled: "I've been waiting for so long. , the wait is finally here, come in and talk."
Shen Yi then stood up from the ground, bowed slightly and walked into the room. When he was still two feet away from the emperor, he knelt down again. His Majesty the emperor shook his head and said: "I am in casual clothes today, so there is no need to be polite." ."
The emperor glanced at the eunuch Gao next to him and said calmly: "Give a seat to the talented scholar Shen."
Gao Ming winked, and soon a young eunuch brought a chair over and placed it behind Shen Yi's butt. After Shen Yi bowed his head and thanked him, he carefully sat down halfway on the chair.
This is the rule he saw in the book yesterday.
When meeting the emperor or elders, you must sit like this to show respect.
However, His Majesty the Emperor obviously didn't care about these vain things. After Shen Yi sat down, he looked at Shen Yi a few times and said with a smile: "I have heard about Shen Yi for a long time, but I didn't expect that the talented scholar Shen from Jiangdu is so young. He looks as old as me. similar."
The emperor became interested and asked Shen Yi: "Shen Qi, what year are you born in?"
Shen Yi quickly lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, my student Xuanren is born in his fourth year."
Xuanren was the reign name of the late emperor when he was in power.
"The fourth year of Xuanren..."
The little emperor was a little surprised. He looked at Shen Yi and continued to ask: "Which month?"
Shen Yi lowered his head: "Return to your Majesty,
Students give birth to babies in April."
Hearing this, the little emperor beamed and said with a smile: "That's okay, I'm two months older than you."
After hearing this sentence, if we follow the normal communication process, we should report each other's months and then call each other brothers and sisters. However, the young man in front of me is the emperor of Dachen. In theory, he is the Nine-Five Supreme, the most powerful person in the world. One of the two noble people...?
Therefore, even after hearing him mention his age, Shen Yi could only sit there, lowering his head slightly, not daring to say a word.
In comparison, the little emperor was in a much more relaxed state. After asking about the ages of the two people, he smiled and said: "If it weren't for Gao Ming's report, it would be hard for me to believe that both of those two poems were written by you Shen. The Hand of Seven."
His Majesty the Emperor sighed slightly: "At the same age, I can't imagine when the bright moon will shine on me and I can return such a sentence."
He looked at Shen Yi and said slowly: "I asked someone to check it out. Shen Yi, your ancestors are from the south, and I am the one who did not return from the south."
Shen Yi looked respectful, slightly lowered his eyebrows and said: "Your Majesty, all things are born with different characteristics, and the same is true for all human beings. Your Majesty is the emperor, and what he does is to economy the world and care for the people on behalf of the heaven. I occasionally take pleasure in composing words and sentences. His little skill is not worthy of Your Majesty’s attention.”
Shen Yi raised his head and glanced at this peer, then lowered his head again and said: "But with your majesty's intelligence, if you want to learn, I'm afraid it will only take a few months to become the king of poetry..."
The little emperor sat on the chair, looked lazily at Shen Yi, who was constantly flattering, and said with a smile: "As expected of a scholar, flattering me is very pleasant to the ear."
After saying this, the little emperor looked at Shen Yi with his hands on his hands, and the smile on his face softened a little: "I saw you today because some of your actions, Shen Qi, were quite what I wanted, but since you left If you take the serious scientific examination route, I would not be willing to enter an official career through a side job. I will test you with a few questions today to see if you, Shen Qilang, are a promising talent."
Shen Yi took a deep breath in his heart, looked respectful, lowered his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, just ask."
The smile on the little emperor's face had completely disappeared. He glanced at Shen Yi and said calmly: "The northern thieves are eyeing me. I want to revitalize the imperial court. What should I do?"
This is where we started asking questions about politics.
Generally speaking, the emperor's approach to recruiting talents was to meet him in private and then ask him some questions that he urgently needed to solve, or that had been bothering him for a long time.
If the answer satisfies the emperor, it will leave a good impression on the big boss. Whether it is filling a vacancy or getting promoted in the future, everything will go smoothly.
Shen Yi knew that the emperor wanted to see him three days ago. uu Reading www.uukanshu.com Naturally, he would not be completely unprepared during these three days, but even so, he was still a little nervous at the moment.
The emperor's inquiry into political affairs...is almost as important as scientific examinations, or even more important!
Shen Yi lowered his head slightly, thought for a while, and then replied: "Your Majesty, compared to Northern Qi, I, Da Chen, are actually a little inferior at this time. If we follow common sense, we should show weakness to the enemy at this time, lower our eyebrows to be more pleasing to the eye, and lower our Everyone is vigilant, and then secretly prepares for war, waiting for the opportunity..."
Hearing Shen Yi's words, the emperor couldn't help but frown. He looked at Shen Yi and said in a low voice: "What you said is exactly the same as what Old Man Yang said. Lower your eyebrows to be more pleasing to the eye..."
He looked at Shen Yi and snorted: "According to what Old Man Yang wants, I wish I could marry that princess of Northern Qi and make me the queen, so that the people of Qi can relax their guard against me, Da Chen, and we can have a good relationship!"
Having said this, he looked at Shen Yi, and when he was about to wave for Shen Yi to retreat, Shen Qilang lowered his head slightly and continued: "Your Majesty, it's just that I, Da Chen, am unable to use this method at this time."
"Since Xuanren, Chen has repeatedly been defeated by the Qi people, and the people of the government and the public have become distraught. If Your Majesty still shows weakness to the enemy, then whether in the court or in the countryside, the will to resist Qi will be severely affected, and the ambition will be gone. , No matter how secretive the imperial court is, no matter how hard it endures its temporary anger, it will be difficult for it to have the ambition to win over Qi or defeat Qi!"
Shen Yi's eyes were firm and he said: "Besides, the Northern Dynasty has been at odds with me, Da Chen, for many years. There must be many Qi people in Jiankang City. There are some things that cannot be faked. Therefore, the student believes that your Majesty's first priority is Boost the morale of the government and the public. If we continue to tolerate this step by step, I am afraid that the country will be unstable!"
