Since the establishment of the Anti-Japanese Army, there have been eight victories instead of ten.
In fact, His Majesty the Emperor would also mention the previous times in court meetings.
Because the original "project" of forming an anti-Japanese army to suppress Japanese invaders was personally initiated by His Majesty the Emperor. This project has achieved some results, so naturally he, the project initiator, has to mention it a few more times to make himself look good.
However, so many times before, it has not been to the extent of publicly reporting victory, and it is a big victory.
Eunuch Gao responded, immediately lowered his head and said: "Yes, I will go and do it now."
"Um…"
The emperor took Shen Yi's secret memorial and read it again, then put it into his sleeve and said calmly: "In the afternoon, let the officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel go to the Ganlu Hall to discuss matters, and then... let Prime Minister Zhongshu... "
"Chen Jing is invited as well."
Chen Jing is the newly appointed prime minister of Zhongshu Province, also known as the "chief assistant" and "prime minister". This time, His Majesty the Emperor wants to see if the Zhongshu Prime Minister is in line with his wishes.
Eunuch Gao nodded again and said, "Yes, I obey."
The emperor touched the beard that was slowly growing on his chin with his hand. After pondering for a while, he said: "That's it, you can draft a decree for Shen Yi to return to Jiankang, and then let him follow the Central Government. Mr. Shu and the officials from the Ministry of War will report on the progress of the war against Japanese invaders in the past two years. Secondly, I also have some private matters for him to handle."
Wenzhou Prefecture is only a little over a thousand miles away from Jiankang. If you ride a horse and walk faster, it will only take seven or eight days to get there.
It does not particularly delay Shen Yi's great cause of suppressing Japanese invaders.
Gao Ming bowed and saluted: "Yes..."
After that, the eunuch left respectfully.
After receiving Shen Yi's memorial, His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be in a better mood. He asked the little eunuch waiting on the side to hook the bait again and threw the hook into the water again.
There are countless ornamental fish in the pond in the back garden of the palace, and it is naturally very easy to catch them. These fish are not easy to cultivate, and they are just a joy to catch without eating them.
After a while, the emperor caught seven or eight fish. Then he dropped the fishing rod in a waning mood, left with his hands behind his back, sat on the soft sedan, and headed towards the Manna Palace.
His Majesty the Emperor sat on the soft sedan chair, glanced at the south, and sighed secretly.
It's a pity... It's a pity that he was a Jinshi from an academy. It's a pity that his teachers and seniors are so entangled.
It would be nice if he was born a wild boy.
His Majesty the Emperor thinks so.
If he is from a wild background and has no other support in the court except the emperor, His Majesty the Emperor can use it as he pleases without worrying about other things. If he wants to be promoted, he can promote Shen Yi to the fourth or even third rank at any time. official.
Even if Shen Yi is given the title of "Xingjin", the emperor doesn't care.
In a few years, after offending the civil servants, all the things that need to be done will be done. At that time, we will give Shen Yi a way out and let Shen Yi leave the court.
It's a pity that Shen Yi still has some influence in the court.
Then it cannot be used as a wild path.
Thinking of this, the Manna Palace was already in front of him. The emperor got off the sedan chair and walked into the Manna Hall with his hands behind his back.
At this time, Chen Jing, the prime minister of Zhongshu Province, as well as the minister of official affairs and the minister of war, had all arrived.
Seeing the emperor come in, these important officials of the imperial court immediately stood up, bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, sir."
No one knelt down.
To be precise, there is no need to kneel down.
According to the rules of the Chen State, when the emperor met with ministers in private, he usually bowed to him and did not need to kneel down to salute. However, I heard that the rules in the Northern Qi Dynasty were stricter, and some ministers had to kneel to pay tribute when they saw the emperor.
The emperor yawned, sat down in his seat, then greeted the ministers, and said with a smile: "No need to be formal, just sit down and talk."
The seven people took their seats one after another.
After everyone sat down, the emperor glanced at them and said with a smile: "The official document of the anti-Japanese army has been sent to Zhongshu Province. You should also know why I asked you to come?"
Chen Jing, the prime minister of Zhongshu Province, lowered his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, I have just informed all the officials about the great victory against the Japanese army, but..."
He lowered his head slightly and said, "It's just that this official document was sent to Zhongshu Province by Eunuch Gao. According to the rules..."
According to the rules, Shen Yi should write the official document to Zhongshu Sheng, who would then report it to the emperor.
To make it more troublesome, Shen Yi should first report to the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War should report to the Zhongshu Province, and then the Zhongshu Province would submit it to the emperor.
Jiang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of War, also coughed and smiled at the emperor: "Your Majesty, Chief Shen is the head of the Ministry of War. It stands to reason that this great victory in eastern Zhejiang is also the credit of our Ministry of War. How come the Ministry of War has not seen it until now?"
Chief Shen’s official document…”
The emperor frowned slightly at first, then glanced at everyone with a calm expression: "He Shen Yi is not a new official who has just passed the Jinshi. He understands all the rules that he should know. Naturally, he will not be missing from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Education.
The official document, this is my official document, was rushed from six hundred miles away from Yueqing by the Imperial Guard."
The emperor glanced at the two people and said calmly: "Is the official document for the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Education still on the way?"
Jiang Shangshu and Chen looked at each other, then both lowered their heads and said yes.
"alright."
The emperor said impatiently: "I am not here to discuss any matters concerning official documents or not."
He coughed and said: "Two years ago, when I wanted to establish a coastal defense force, everyone opposed it one by one. It can be said that the public was furious. What do you say now?"
At this point, when the ministers were silent, the emperor smiled: "Now, I have built this coastal defense force without taking a tael of silver from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and defeated the Japanese pirates. What do you think?"
The seven ministers lowered their heads and stopped talking.
The emperor was in a happy mood and said with a smile: "Now it seems that my method is working after all. Since it works, we must continue to do it. I am preparing to expand the anti-Japanese army and establish an anti-Japanese capital command department along the coast..."
As soon as the emperor said these words, Jiang Shangshu of the Ministry of War stood up like a spring. He looked up at the emperor, lowered his head and held his hands in his hands: "Your Majesty, establishing a capital is no small matter. I ask your Majesty to think twice!"
The two ministers of the Ministry of War also stood up, and they all agreed, probably saying that the establishment of a new capital was a major matter for the court, which required the six ministries and nine ministers to sit together for deliberation, and also needed the support of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
After all, if a Dusi is established, it is impossible not to take money from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Moreover, if a capital division was established, it would be impossible for Shen Yi's level to be able to command the army.
The personnel in command and envoys must also be carefully considered.
Seeing the objections of the three people from the Ministry of War, the emperor first frowned, then looked at Chen Jing and asked, "What does Mr. Chen think?"
Chen Jing first sighed in his heart, then stood up, raised his hands to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, I think that since Chief Shen has been able to defeat the Japanese pirates in eastern Zhejiang with five thousand anti-Japanese troops, is it necessary to expand the capital? It remains to be discussed…”
"I sincerely ask your Majesty to consider it carefully..."
The emperor's frown deepened.
He stood up from the throne, glanced at the ministers, and then waved his hands in a very impatient tone.
"That's all, it's all about being in trouble, let's put it aside for now."
"Whether the capital will be established or not, we can not talk about it now..."
The emperor glanced at everyone and frowned.
"Then Shen Yi has made such a great contribution, why can't you not even give him a promotion?"
