The Di Reporting Department has almost finished investigating the Fan family in Jiangdu. It happens that Shen Yi will go back to marry Junior Sister Lu next month. In addition, there is really nothing to do in Jiankang, so Shen Yi wants to go back to Jiankang in advance.
Firstly, he was preparing for the marriage, and secondly, he was preparing to reopen the Chen Qing case.
Originally, because the Di News Department was affiliated with the Ministry of Rites, if Shen Yi wanted to take leave, he had to ask for leave from the Ministry of Rites.
As for the Hanlin Academy, with Bachelor Chen here, Shen Yi's request for leave was just a matter of a note.
However, the nature of the unit Di Bao Si is somewhat special. On the surface, it is the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, but in fact it is responsible to the palace.
Therefore, Shen Yi needs to say hello to the palace in advance.
After Eunuch Gao said that he knew it, he left the newspaper office and returned to the palace.
Shen Sizheng sent him all the way to the door of the Di Reporting Department, and then looked at Gao Ming's casual clothes and couldn't help but gossip in his heart.
Young people know the taste of marrow and like to go out to listen to pipa. This kind of thing is normal and couldn't be more normal. Even if it were Shen Yi, he might often go out to listen to pipa.
However, the emperor only got married yesterday, and the empress only returned home this morning. Before evening, she left the palace to enjoy music, which was really a little outrageous.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi thought of the beautiful Gu family again.
Tsk…
I don’t know if that girl Gu Hengbo played the pipa and had a son pop up in her belly. If she accidentally gave birth to the emperor’s eldest son, and the Queen Mother in the palace found out, there might be some trouble.
If the Queen Mother knew about it, His Majesty the Emperor might not be punished, and the Queen Mother's "eldest grandson" might not be punished, but Gao Ming, Gu Hengbo, and some of the parties involved in this matter might be punished...
Thinking of this, Shen Yi couldn't help but frown slightly.
This matter cannot develop according to this script, otherwise, not to mention Gao Ming's downfall in the future, Xu Fu, the middleman who takes care of everyone for the emperor, may also be angered by the palace...
But the emperor is getting older, and maybe the Queen Mother will give the emperor some face and not fall out with her son because of these messy things...
After a lot of random thoughts, Shen Si left the Di News Department with a shake of his head and went home from get off work.
The next morning, he returned to work at the Di newspaper office and got Gao Ming's reply to his leave note from Sun Jin.
The meaning of the palace is very simple.
Shen Yi can leave if he wants, but he must prepare the Di newspaper for the year. It is best to schedule one or two pages of the Di newspaper before asking for leave. This way, although the Di newspaper department will be without Shen Yi, it can still operate normally.
After receiving this reply, Shen Sizheng felt a mixture of joy and anger.
Fortunately, for now, his role in the Diji Newspaper Department is still very obvious. At least the current Dishi Newspaper Department cannot do without him.
What makes me angry is that the high eunuch in the palace, who already has the appearance of a capitalist, actually wants to ask for leave after finishing his work!
Sooner or later, people will hang it on the street lights!
After secretly complaining about Eunuch Gao, Shen Yi started working honestly.
Fortunately, he has a lot of materials in hand, so there is no problem at all in writing two issues of the Di Di newspaper. As long as there are no other special requests from the palace, it is enough to arrange two issues of the Di Di newspaper.
Ever since, in the following days, Shen Yi went to work at the Di Newspaper Department every morning, and would not get off work with his colleagues in the Di Newspaper Department until sunset.
This made Shen Sizheng, who used to work only half a day, very uncomfortable. He felt as if he had worked overtime for several days in a row and was exhausted.
Finally on the fourth day, Shen Yi handed over the first drafts of the two issues, and at the same time submitted the leave application documents to the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy.
This time Shen Yi returned to his hometown to get married. This reason could not be more legitimate. No one had any reason to refuse his request for leave. Therefore, soon, Shen Yi's two "units", including those in the palace, The invisible unit agreed to his request for leave and allowed him to return to his hometown to get married.
After successfully applying for leave, Shen Yi met with the heads of his seven intelligence teams at the Di Reporting Department, and then went home from get off work as usual after noon.
After arriving at home, Shen Yi began to mobilize his family members to pack their bags and go home.
At this time, everyone in Shen's house, especially the third brother Shen Ling, was the most excited. After hearing what Shen Yi said, without saying a word, he immediately took his wife and children back to the house to pack their luggage.
He had some misunderstandings with his father, Shen Hui, and they had been brooding in his heart, but he was too embarrassed to go back alone. Now he could finally go back openly.
And during this year, Shen Ling has been helping Shen Yi take care of Xu Fu's business. Especially after Huang Shizhai's business started in the second half of the year, money was flowing every day.
There is also a divide between Shen Ling and Shen Yi.
At this time, Young Master Shen San has become a senior official of Shen State.
After going out to earn money, of course he wanted to go home and show off. Even if a family like the Shen family looked down on merchants, Shen Ling wanted to prove himself in front of his father, Shen Hui.
It's not about proving how good you are.
But to prove that he can continue to live without his old father.
On the other side, Qing'er and Ping'er gathered together and chatted about what Jiankang specialties they should bring back to Jiangdu.
As for Shen Yi, he stayed at home with his family all afternoon. In the evening, he said hello to his family and arrived at Zhao Changping's house.
When he arrived at Zhao's house, it happened to be lunch time. Zhao Er led him to the dining hall of Zhao's house. Shen Yi bowed his hands to everyone present, and then said with a smile to Zhao's couple: "My nephew is shameless, come here." Let’s have a meal.”
Hearing this, Zhao Shangshu waved to Shen Yi and showed a rare smile: "This is your own home. You can't just take advantage of it."
Zhao Er also smiled and pulled Shen Yi to sit down.
"My father is closer to you, Zi Heng, than to me, his own son. When he knew you were coming, he immediately told everyone to stop using their chopsticks and sit down quickly. I, the older brother, will starve to death."
"If you don't sit down, our family won't even be able to eat."
Pulled by Zhao Er, Shen Yi sat down with a smile and sat at the same table with the Zhao family to have a meal.
The atmosphere is harmonious.
After dinner, Zhao Shangshu sat in his seat and picked his teeth, then looked at Shen Yi: "Is there something wrong with Zi Heng?"
"yes."
Shen Yi stood up, bowed his head slightly to Zhao Shilang and said: "Uncle, the student is going to leave for Jiangdu tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. The students from the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy have already taken leave."
"Well…"
Zhao Changping nodded and said: "Counting the days, it will only be a month before you get married. You have to go back and make preparations."
He asked: "Do you have an errand for the newspaper department?"
Shen Yi smiled and said: "It's done."
"Um."
Zhao Shangshu stood up and yawned: "When you get married, my uncle will see if I can make it there, but even if I can't make it, your two brothers will definitely be there."
The two brothers he mentioned refer to the two sons of the Zhao family.
Shen Yi smiled and lowered his head: "Thank you very much, uncle."
Seeing Shen Yi standing there without making any move, Zhao Shangshu walked towards the study with his hands behind his back: "Zi Heng, come here, my uncle has something to tell you."
Shen Yi nodded quickly, greeted the others at the dinner table, and followed Zhao Changping to the Zhao family's study.
As soon as he entered the study, Shen Yi took out a stack of documents from his arms and handed them to Zhao Changping. He lowered his head slightly and said: "Uncle, this is what the Di News Department found in Jiangdu. The information about the Fan family has been done by the Fan family in recent years. His evil deeds are too numerous to describe."
"Most of these things are supported by evidence."
"My nephew is not an imperial censor, nor is he a local parent official. There are some things that my nephew cannot tell the court, so he can only trouble his uncle."
Most officials cannot impeach their colleagues. Once impeached, if there is no solid evidence, the "plaintiff" may even be found guilty!
Only supervisory agencies like Yushitai, or the prime minister of Zhongshu Province, can take the initiative to interfere with others.
And Shen Yi, an eighth-grade official, naturally has no way of doing this.
But Zhao Shangshu has such connections, and there are many.
Among the biting censors in the censorship, who doesn’t know several of these court bosses? Some of the biting censors were even raised by these court bosses!
Zhao Changping took the documents and put them on his desk. Then he looked at Shen Yi, reached out and patted Shen Yi on the shoulder.
"Master will read these things tonight."
"If the Fan family of Jiangdu did commit illegal acts such as bullying the people, I believe..."
Zhao Shangshu smiled faintly.
"I believe there will naturally be people who will take care of these injustices."
