In Deqing Palace, His Majesty the Emperor is practicing calligraphy on his desk.
His handwriting has never been very good.
For this reason, he has been scolded by his teaching master since he was a child. In the past, it was easy to say that with the help of several husbands, he basically did not have to deal with political affairs. But now, he has to approve a large number of memorials every day. If the handwriting is ugly, It's a bit unsightly, so His Majesty the Emperor has put a lot of thought into calligraphy in the past two years.
Although I can't say that I am successful in calligraphy now, I can still say that it is reasonable.
When the emperor was writing, a little eunuch came over with small steps. He walked to the big eunuch Gao Ming who was waiting on the side and said a few words to Gao Ming. The high eunuch first frowned slightly, and then waved with the little eunuch. He waved his hand and signaled the young eunuch to retreat.
After dismissing the young eunuch, Gao Ming walked to the emperor, lowered his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, Chief Shen has come into the palace. He is kneeling outside the palace now. He said he has something to see you."
The little emperor didn't take this sentence seriously at first, and was still writing by himself. Suddenly, the pen in his hand stopped, and he looked back at Gao Ming, frowning slightly: "Shen Yi? How did he enter the palace?"
The imperial palace and the imperial city are two different concepts.
The Imperial City is where the central government office is located. For example, Shen Yi's newspaper office and the Ministry of War where he currently serves are all in the Imperial City. Therefore, Shen Yi and other officials can enter the Imperial City with their own badges.
But the palace is different.
The imperial palace is a private property of the Tianjia. On weekdays, except for major court meetings, officials at all levels can enter the palace. At other times, not many officials can freely enter and exit the palace.
Only officials at the level of Prime Minister Zhongshu or Dajiu Qing can directly enter the imperial city.
Other officials who want to enter the palace to meet the saint must obey the imperial edict before entering the palace.
As for Shen Yi, it is obvious that he is not on the list of those who are prohibited from entering and exiting the palace freely.
Hearing the emperor's question, Gao Ming hesitated slightly, then lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, it seems...it seems that it was the Kunde Palace who summoned Chief Shen into the palace."
As the chief steward of the inner court, almost nothing going on in the palace could escape Gao Ming's ears. However, there were some things that Gao Ming couldn't say unless the emperor asked.
For example, the Queen Mother summoned Shen Yi.
If Gao Ming took the initiative to tell the emperor about this matter, it would be suspected of alienating brothers and sisters.
After hearing Gao Ming's reply, His Majesty the Emperor immediately frowned. He threw the brush in his hand into the brush washer, then lowered his head to straighten his clothes and said, "Go and bring him in to see me immediately."
Gao Ming bowed his head deeply.
"yes."
…
At this time, Shen Yi, who was kneeling at the door of Deqing Palace, had already been lifted up.
To be precise, he was lifted up by two eunuchs, one on the left and one on the right.
In front of Shen Yi, stood a middle-aged female official, who was the housekeeper of Kunde Palace. This female official stood in front of Shen Yi with a stern voice: "Shen Yi, what are you going to do?!"
Shen Yi was grabbed by the shoulders by two eunuchs, but he was not afraid. He just said coldly: "I am a second-ranked Jinshi and a disciple of the emperor. How dare you take me without an edict!"
The female official became a little anxious and gritted her teeth and said to Shen Yi: "Shen Yi, are you crazy? Your Majesty asked you to go home and think about things. Why are you kneeling in Deqing Palace?"
"I have something to ask Your Majesty."
Shen Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, I will never be able to understand what the empress said!"
The female officer quickly glanced at Deqing Palace and saw that no one came out of Deqing Palace, so she waved her hands and said: "You guys, send Mr. Shen out of the palace. Don't let him come in again!"
After saying this, she looked at Shen Yi again, then squatted down and said in Shen Yi's ear: "Shen Yi, please listen carefully. It's up to you whether you do or not do what the queen told you, my queen. I'm not forcing you to do anything."
"but…"
The female official said in a low voice: "But if you alienate the Tian family's flesh and blood, you will end up in a desperate situation, and no one can save you!"
While she was talking, a soft and gentle voice suddenly came from behind her: "Aunt Rong, what are you doing here?"
This middle-aged female official's official position is the female official in charge of Kunde Palace. She has a very high status in the palace. After all, she has been with the Queen Mother for many years.
Therefore, although Gao Ming is several years older than her, she still calls her aunt.
Aunt Rong took a deep breath, looked back at Gao Ming, and said with a smile: "It's Eunuch Gao who's here. That's what happened. The queen asked Young Master Shen about something today. After asking her questions, when she passed by Deqing Palace, Young Master Shen asked I would like to take this opportunity to meet the Holy Spirit and invite him to favor you. In order not to disturb His Majesty in handling government affairs, I will come to escort Mr. Shen out of the palace."
It is not easy for an ordinary low-level official to enter the palace once. If an ordinary low-level official is summoned to the palace by the Queen Mother, he might really want to take this opportunity to meet the emperor and become familiar with him.
Eunuch Gao looked at the female officer in front of him quietly and said with a smile: "Aunt Rong, Your Majesty has been alarmed."
Aunt Rong quickly lowered her head and said, "Isn't this what I was waiting for? I will send him away immediately and don't dare to disturb Your Majesty..."
"His Majesty said..."
Eunuch Gao smiled warmly: "Please come in, Master Shen, to talk."
After hearing this, Aunt Rong's smile froze on her face. She looked up at Gao Ming with a pleading expression.
Eunuch Gao's eyes were calm, but he shook his head slightly.
Seeing him shaking his head, Aunt Rong knew that the emperor wanted to see Shen Yi, and even Gao Ming couldn't stop him.
She took a deep breath, let go of her hand, and said bravely: "Eunuch Gao, would you like me to go in with Mr. Shen to meet His Majesty?"
Gao Ming shook his head again: "Aunt Rong, His Majesty has always respected you. Please don't make His Majesty feel uncomfortable."
When Aunt Rong heard this, she subconsciously shrank back, then took a deep breath and whispered: "Okay, I will leave the person to Eunuch Gao, and I will go back to Kunde Palace first."
Gao Ming nodded slightly, and after the people from Kunde Palace left, he walked to Shen Yi and personally stretched out his hand to pull Shen Yi up.
The eunuch looked at Shen Yi up and down. Seeing that Shen Yi's hair was a little messy and his clothes were full of wrinkles, he couldn't help but sigh slightly: "It's rare to see you in such a mess."
Shen Yi let out a breath: "Please lead the way, father-in-law. I have a lot to say to Your Majesty."
Gao Ming turned around and nodded silently: "Come with us."
Soon, the two people entered Deqing Palace one after another and met His Majesty the Emperor in the back hall of Deqing Palace.
After Shen Yi saw the emperor, without saying a word, he knelt down and lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, please resign from the post of head of the Ministry of War, resign from the job of supervising the construction of warships and firearms, and be transferred back to the residence to report to the department..."
His Majesty the Emperor was still curious about what Shen Yi experienced in Kunde Palace. Just as he was about to ask questions, he suddenly heard Shen Yi was about to give up. His Majesty the Emperor frowned, stepped forward and helped Shen Yi up, and then gently He patted Shen Yi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "What happened to make Shen Qilang, who is always known for his calmness, feel like this?"
Shen Yi raised his head and looked at the emperor, then shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I cannot tell you the details clearly. I only ask your Majesty to remove him from the post of head of the Ministry of War, or return him to his residence to report to the Department, or throw him into the Hanlin Academy. Go, minister…”
"I would like to be a Ci Minister in His Majesty's Imperial Academy."
"The Hanlin Academy already has enough Ci ministers."
The emperor frowned: "I don't want you to be a minister."
He walked up to Shen Yi and his voice became a little serious: "If you say it in front of me now, no matter what it is, I can keep you safe. If Shen Yi doesn't say it today, everything will happen after you leave my palace." It’s your own responsibility.”
Shen Yi naturally wanted to say it.
Otherwise, he would not come to the boss to complain.
Ever since, Shen Yi told the general story of what happened in Kunde Palace.
Then he stood in front of the emperor, bowed to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, my reputation is not important, but the word fairness is the cornerstone of the anti-Japanese army. The anti-Japanese army soldiers can bravely kill the enemy in desperate situations. It is precisely because of these two words."
"I...can't bear to see His Majesty's efforts in fighting the Japanese army go to waste."
After listening to Shen Yi's words, the emperor returned to his seat and remained silent for a long time without speaking.
After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Shen Yi.
"You can't bear to see all my hard work go to waste, so you just give up?"
Shen Yi stood there, speechless.
The emperor also sat in his seat and said nothing.
His Majesty the Emperor, who had been silent for a long time, seemed to have made up his mind. He gently gritted his teeth and then said two words from between his teeth.
"clever."
Eunuch Gao quickly stepped forward, knelt down in front of the emperor, bowed his head respectfully and said, "My servant is here."
"You go make it up now."
The emperor narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice: "Go and make a plan. Let my two cousins be named Huaihe River Navy Master Qianhu, and let them leave Beijing on a certain day and go north to take up their posts!"
Gao Ming froze on the spot, looking up at the emperor in disbelief: "Your Majesty...this..."
"Didn't you hear what I said?!"
The little emperor said angrily: "After drafting it, send it to Zhongshu immediately and ask them to stamp it and issue it to me!"
After saying this, the emperor walked up to Shen Yi, pulled Shen Yi's sleeve directly, and said, "Let's go to Kunde Palace with me."
Shen Yi was stunned and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, I will not get involved in the Tian family's family affairs? I want to go home..."
"You must go."
The emperor seemed to burst out suddenly. He turned back and glared at Shen Yi, gritting his teeth.
"If you don't go, how can you tell your mother clearly about Lan Qing?"
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment before realizing who "Lan Qing" was.
Most likely it is Gu everyone's real name.
Gu Hengbo is her "stage name".
Dragging and dragging was naturally inappropriate, and Shen Yi couldn't let the emperor keep dragging him, so he followed the emperor and left Deqing Palace and walked towards Kunde Palace.
This time, the emperor did not even sit in the sedan chair, but walked directly to the entrance of Kunde Palace.
He stood at the door of Kunde Palace, looked up at the plaque at the door of the palace in front of him, took a deep breath, and then closed his eyes.
At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor is very clear in his heart.
As a son, he has to compete with his mother.
What to fight for?
that power.
The power of heaven and earth.
