Eunuch Gao accompanied Shen Yi as he walked down the second floor. At this moment, the eunuch Gao didn't have a smile on his face. After the two of them walked down the stairs, he glanced at the two people downstairs. The little eunuch said: "Go and get ten gold leaves. Your Majesty wants to reward me."
The two young eunuchs nodded hurriedly and went down to get the gold leaves for Shen Yi.
After the two young eunuchs left, Gao Ming looked at Shen Yi silently and said, "Master Shen, what you did today was a bit excessive."
Shen Yi was not panicked. He understood what Gao Ming was talking about, so he lowered his head slightly and said, "Please give me some advice, father-in-law."
"It is our family's arrangement for you to come to see His Majesty today."
Eunuch Gao said slowly: "Our family is looking for you just because His Majesty wants to see you a few days ago. After you see His Majesty, you kowtow, or offer a poem or two to His Majesty, or maybe you want to express your thoughts directly. It doesn't matter, but you shouldn't do anything specific."
He looked at Shen Yi, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Today it was our family that arranged for you to come to see His Majesty. What you have to do will probably be prepared by our family later on. It's good that it can be done. If it can't be done, Should you, the student, be responsible for this, or should our family be responsible for it?"
The great eunuch frowned and said: "You are a student from a serious academic institution. In the future, when you are selected as a Jinshi and enter the officialdom, you can do whatever you want. It has nothing to do with our family. But now, you are a student." Just wanting to do things, isn’t it too eager for quick success?”
Shen Yi bowed slightly and said: "Eunuch, I am not eager for quick success, but Your Majesty is asking for advice. Naturally, I know everything and tell you. Don't worry, Eunuch, there will be no problems with this method, and it will definitely be done."
"If this thing is done, then 80% of the credit will go to my father-in-law."
Gao Ming had no expression on his face and said: "The eunuchs in our family have reached the end of their current position. What's the use of taking credit? There are no faults."
Shen Yi shook his head.
"My father-in-law is mistaken. It is precisely because my father-in-law is in this position that he has to perform meritorious service. There are countless eunuchs in the palace who are eyeing this position of my father-in-law. If my father-in-law does not perform meritorious service, someone else will do so and come into His Majesty's sight. ."
"My father-in-law has been with the emperor for a long time, so he naturally knows that your majesty is in a hurry to do things now. Since you are an errand in the palace, you naturally know that seniority is never mentioned in the palace."
In the court, whether it is promotion or promotion, political performance, background, and qualifications are all important. Sometimes when you reach a key position, all of them are indispensable.
When the Ministry of Civil Affairs evaluates officials, it will even specify the year and the time of the mid-term examination.
But the promotion system in the palace is completely different.
Whether eunuchs in the palace are promoted or demoted, it all depends on the will of the emperor. Sometimes a word from the nobles in the harem can determine the life or death of an eunuch.
In other words, although Gao Ming now sits on the position of senior eunuch, he may not be able to sit comfortably because Gao Ming was born as the senior eunuch of the East Palace. In terms of age and ability, there are a lot of senior eunuchs in the palace who are older than him. , staring at his position.
Eunuch Gao glanced at Shen Yi thoughtfully, but said nothing.
Just when the two people were silent, the little eunuch who had left had already brought a wooden box and handed it to Gao Ming respectfully. Gao Ming took the wooden box and handed it to Shen Yi. Then he looked at Shen Yi , and said slowly: "Since His Majesty has given the order, there is no way out now. We can only work together to complete this errand."
The eunuch said earnestly and thoughtfully: "I hope Mr. Shen will be careful and not mess up his errand."
Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "The task of writing the new edition of the Di newspaper is too important. I will probably only be able to write one sample issue, and there will be nothing to do with this student in the future. But I believe that as long as my father-in-law is willing to do this, You can definitely do things beautifully."
Gao Ming said "hmm" and did not express his position, but said silently: "Master Shen has been working hard for most of the day today, so he should go back and rest.
"
Shen Yi bowed his hands to Eunuch Gao and turned to leave.
At this time, there were guards everywhere in Jiming Temple and there were no pedestrians. Shen Yi arrived at the gate of Jiming Temple smoothly. After walking out of the gate of Jiming Temple, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
In any case, this meeting with the big boss went smoothly, and it left an opportunity for subsequent meetings.
As for the matter of the Di newspaper.
Shen Yi had been thinking hard about this matter on his way home. After returning home, he thought seriously about it for a long time in his study. It was not until it got dark that he slowly picked up his pen.
It's not about writing a newspaper, it's about writing a letter.
Write a letter to Jiangdu.
It took Shen Yi about half an hour to finish writing the letter. After writing the envelope, he looked at the night outside and walked out.
There was no curfew in Jiankang, so Shen Yi left the workshop smoothly. Then he ate something at a roadside stall and finally came to the courtyard where Xu Fu and Ding Man rented. After knocking on the courtyard door, Xu Fu quickly Opening the door, Shen Yi was welcomed in.
As soon as Shen Yi walked in, Xu Fu looked at his forehead and asked, "Is the young master's injury okay?"
"I'm fine."
Shen Yi looked at Xu Fu and asked, "Xiao Xu, can you ride a horse?"
Xu Fu shook his head: "Master, I have never been in contact with..."
"This is troublesome."
Shen Yi slightly lowered his eyebrows and said: "I have a letter that I want to send back to Jiangdu as soon as possible, but I don't have an official status and cannot use the official post. If I ask someone to send it back to Jiangdu, it will probably take at least four or five days to deliver it. "
Xu Fu was silent for a while and then said: "Master, I can go and learn."
Shen Yi asked: "Can I learn it in a short time?"
Xu Fu's eyes were firm and he said: "Master, there is a warehouse south of the Qinhuai River. There are vendors who rent and sell horses. Tomorrow, before dawn, I will rent a horse. I will be able to ride it in one morning. I will set off back to Jiangdu tomorrow afternoon, and I will be able to deliver the letter to you the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Shen Yi thought for a while, nodded slightly and said, "That's it, thank you for your hard work."
He patted Xu Fu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "When you come back from Jiangdu this time, we will go to the horse market together and buy you a good horse as a mount."
Buying a horse in this era is similar to buying a car in later generations. After Xu Fu heard this, he bowed his head deeply to Shen Yi: "Thank you, sir."
"After you deliver the letter, you can stay in Jiangdu for a few more days to see how the business is in Jiangdu. If you think it is suitable, bring two of the four little guys uukanshuwww.uukanshu.com Come to Jiankang."
Shen Yi paused and continued: "Remember, if something goes wrong on the road, destroy this letter and don't leak it."
The letter was about the emperor's plan to establish a residence newspaper. It was difficult to leak it easily, otherwise it would affect Shen Yi's image in the emperor's mind.
Xu Fu lowered his head slightly and asked, "Sir, I'm sending a letter, don't you need to bring it back with me?"
"Need not."
Shen Yi shook his head and said: "This letter is sent to Master Lu. Master Lu has an official status. He can send the letter from the official post. Jiangdu is very close to Jiankang. If Master Lu sends a letter, it can be delivered in half a day. Come to Jiankang."
Xu Fu nodded and stopped asking questions.
In this way, early the next morning, Xu Fu went to the horse market to rent a horse, and then took it to the outskirts of the city to train. Horse riding requires courage and carefulness. It happened that Xu Fu had both, and only used less than In an hour, he learned the general skills of riding a horse. In the morning, he took Shen Yi's letter and went to Jiangdu.
Because the two places were very close and there were spacious official roads, Shen Yi rushed to Jiangdu City at night.
At this time, the gates of Jiangdu City have been closed. With Xu Fu's identity, it is absolutely impossible to enter the city.
Fortunately... Ganquan Academy is outside the city.
As a result, Shen Yi's letter was delivered to Master Lu of Ganquan Academy that night.
Master Lu hadn't rested yet. After opening Shen Yi's letter and reading it, the Jiangzuo scholar's expression became very strange.
"The Beauty of the Sun and the Moon"
He glanced in the direction of Jiankang and felt a little lost.
"Shichiro...are you going to meet His Majesty now?"
