Obviously, the emperor was not completely ignorant of Northern Qi's little moves.
However, His Majesty, the Emperor of Chen State, is currently powerless against the Qi people.
Since there is nothing you can do, you can only pretend not to know.
Otherwise, even if you speak out and protest to the people of Qi, it will only be incompetent rage and only increase laughter.
Shen Yi lowered his head silently and stopped talking.
The emperor took several deep breaths to calm down. He walked down the imperial steps and walked to Shen Yi.
Shen Yi also quickly stood up and stood with his hands down.
The emperor looked at the young man in front of him, whose skin had turned wheaten color because he was running around outside. After being silent for a while, he slowly said: "There are many people with mixed eyes. I will take the time to discuss some matters with Shen Qing."
Shen Yi lowered his head in response.
The emperor walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and then glanced at Gao Ming.
Eunuch Gao understood immediately and waved his hand to drive away the palace guests.
When only Gao Ming and the emperor and his ministers were left in the Manlu Palace, the emperor sighed and said, "You have been targeted by the Purity Department of the Northern Qi Dynasty. This is because I can't help you."
The profession of emperor is destined to be difficult to admit mistakes.
And this young emperor, His Majesty, does not yet have a problem with admitting his mistakes.
The "Qing Jing Si" he refers to should be the internal guards of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Shen Yi smiled and said: "I am Chen Chen, and it is my honor to be targeted by Qi people. It has nothing to do with Your Majesty."
Having said this, Shen Yi couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked: "It's just that the name of the Purity Department is quite weird."
"Those Zihu people have no culture."
The emperor also sneered and said: "It is said that the second emperor after the Northern Qi Dynasty entered the customs, felt that the cicadas were noisy in the summer, so he recruited a group of people to help him catch insects and cicadas in exchange for clean ears. That’s where it comes from.”
Having said this, the emperor slightly lowered his eyebrows and said: "It has only grown to this point, and the scale of this so-called Purity Department is already very large."
"Over the years, we have suffered a lot from the Cleansing Department."
At this point, the emperor snorted: "When I was young, these Qi people even bribed the palace officials to assassinate me. It was extremely hateful!"
After the emperor and his ministers complained a few words about the Qing Dynasty, the emperor looked at Shen Yi and continued: "In the next few years, the internal guards will probably send people to follow you all the time. You should also be more careful about yourself and don't fall into the trap of Qi people. The Purity Department has always used unscrupulous means to achieve its goals."
"but…"
The emperor squinted his eyes and said calmly: "I have also taught them some lessons. If they still don't know how to restrain themselves..."
At this point, the emperor stopped talking.
Nowadays, both the Chen State and the Qi State can be called great powers. When the two great powers confront each other, they should follow the royal and righteous path, rather than engage in such trivial things as spies fighting.
If the two sides continue to retaliate against each other like this, it may eventually evolve into a spy war!
At that time, it will be a real loss of face, and the dignity of the last big country will be completely lost.
After talking about the Northern Qi Dynasty, the emperor sat back in his seat. He motioned Shen Yi to sit down, then yawned and said, "Shen Qing, you should also know that the division chief of the Ministry of War and the bachelor's degree scholar of the Hanlin Academy , you are not allowed to leave Beijing. I still need you to preside over the southeast side, so these two positions are temporary. You don’t have to report to the Ministry of War and the Hanlin Academy, and you don’t have to look at the faces of those old guys."
Having said this, the emperor smiled at Shen Yi and said: "I originally wanted to get you a fourth-grade official position, but firstly, those old guys might disagree to death. Secondly, Shen Qing, you are too junior in qualifications, so you can't force me If you are promoted, people will inevitably criticize you behind your back."
"So we can only wait a little longer."
"but…"
Seeing that there was no one around, the emperor lowered his voice and said slowly: "But, Shen Qing, if you can help me, develop the anti-Japanese army to...well..."
He thought for a moment and gave a number: "Thirty thousand people!"
"As long as you can produce 30,000 navy men who can fight, I will promise you the wealth and honor in this life!"
At this point, a trace of fanaticism appeared in the emperor's eyes: "If...if Shen Qing can realize the plan he told me back then..."
He looked at Shen Yi and said slowly: "In the future, I can safely leave the entire military department to you!"
When Shen Yi first came into contact with the emperor, he did draw cakes for him.
That is, overthrow the Zhao clan and return the Huaihe Navy to the emperor's hands.
Only in this way can Nan Chen be qualified to start mentioning the Northern Expedition.
Now, the emperor's intention is that as long as Shen Yi can achieve this step, he will be granted the title of Minister of War in the future.
This is like giving each other a pat on the back...
Shen Yi pretended to be excited, bowed his head respectfully and said: "I will definitely follow the holy will and work hard to do good things for the court."
The emperor seemed to have seen the bright future he envisioned, and couldn't help but smile: "We, the monarch and my minister, are of the same age. If we can really complement each other in the future and accomplish several major events, it will be a good story for future generations." ."
Shen Yi bowed his head respectfully: "If I succeed by luck, it is because of your majesty's careful planning."
"There's no need to say such nice things."
He smiled and said, "In the final analysis, it's you Shen Ziheng who really goes out to do things, I'm just talking about it."
"Okay, I know you've had a hard time traveling all the way, so that's all for today. You can go back and have a good rest for two days. I'll call you into the palace for a detailed discussion in a few days."
After saying that, the emperor glanced at the eunuch Gao next to him, coughed, and said: "Gao Ming, give me a gift for Shen Qing."
Eunuch Gao first raised his head and glanced at the emperor, then bowed his head respectfully: "My slave, I obey."
He walked up to Shen Yi and smiled: "Shen Shidu, please stop."
Shen Yi could only nod obediently, and after bidding farewell to the emperor, he followed Eunuch Gao and left the Manna Palace.
After walking out of the Manlu Palace, Eunuch Gao and Shen Yi walked in the palace one after another. After walking for a while, the eunuch Gao actually led Shen Yi to a pavilion and stopped.
Shen Yi looked at Gao Ming thoughtfully, and then asked with a smile: "Eunuch Gao, do you want to see me for something?"
"It's not that our family has something to do, it's that your Majesty has something to do."
Eunuch Gao paused and continued: "I would like to ask Shen Shidu for help."
Shen Yi had an ominous premonition in his heart. He blinked and asked, "What's the matter?"
Eunuch Gao glanced around to make sure there was no one around, then slowly said: "Guess everyone..."
He took a deep breath and said, "I'm pregnant."
Shen Yi's eyes widened and he smiled bitterly: "Eunuch Gao, what does this matter have to do with me?"
Gao Ming lowered his eyebrows and said, "Isn't there the shadow of Shen Shidu in this matter from beginning to end?"
"Besides, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better. Therefore, His Majesty's intention is to let Mr. Shen read you from beginning to end and get this matter settled."
Shen Yi sighed helplessly: "What does your Majesty mean?"
Eunuch Gao lowered his eyebrows and said, "Of course I want everyone to enter the palace, otherwise there would be no need for you to come forward, Shen Shidu."
"Enter the palace?"
Shen Yi frowned and said, "I'm already pregnant. Wouldn't it be a scandal if I give birth just a few months after entering the womb?"
"Then we can't let the emperor's blood flow outside."
Eunuch Gao also had a headache. He rubbed his eyebrows and sighed.
"It is precisely because the matter is difficult to handle and I know you are very resourceful, Shen Shidu, that I want to ask Shen Shidu for your help in handling this matter."
Eunuch Gao whispered: "If it's done, then Jane will truly be in the emperor's heart."
Shen Yi was silent.
To be honest, he really didn't want to get involved in this kind of bullshit trouble.
As for what Jane is in the Emperor's heart...
This kind of simplicity in the emperor's heart may not be a good thing.
Thinking of this, Mr. Shen rubbed his brow and said helplessly.
"I'll go back and think of something..."
Eunuch Gao bowed to Shen Yi for the first time. The eunuch lowered his head and sighed slightly.
