After staying at home for another two days, seeing the day of departure getting closer and closer, Shen Yi had to crawl out of the gentle village. On the day before departure, Shen Yi, under the service of his wife, changed into the official uniform that he had just taken off. I was issued a new official uniform of the fifth grade and went to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit.
This trip to the palace was mainly to say goodbye to the emperor, and also to see if the emperor had any specific instructions.
Because he was already a fifth-rank official, it was much easier to enter the palace than before. Shen Yi set out from home early in the morning. As soon as he arrived, he successfully entered the Ganlu Palace, and under the leadership of the young eunuch, headed towards the emperor's location. Go to the inner hall.
But this time Shen Yi was different from usual, because when Shen Yi just entered the inner hall of the Manna Hall, he happened to see a gorgeous woman walking out of the Manna Hall accompanied by several eunuchs. After everyone saw this woman, they all knelt down and called her queen.
Obviously, this is the niece of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother of this dynasty, Queen Sun.
At this time, the queen's belly was slightly bulging, and she must be pregnant again.
Shen Yi met her face to face and couldn't help but glanced at the little eunuch who was leading the way with some complaints. However, he could only stand aside and bowed to the woman and said: "Shen Yi of the Hanlin Academy, please see the Queen. ."
After hearing what Shen Yi said, Queen Sun, who didn't pay much attention at first, stopped and glanced at Shen Yi who was standing aside. She looked at Shen Yi up and down, and then whispered: "Are you Shen Yi?"
Shen Yi nodded helplessly: "Yes, I am Shen Yi..."
"I heard that my sister, Concubine Shu, mentioned you."
Empress Sun just said something lightly, and then said lightly: "She said Shen Hanlin is a very powerful person."
The Concubine Shu in her mouth was the Princess Izumo who was married from the Northern Qi Dynasty. She had dealt with Shen Yi and had tea poured on her by Mr. Shen.
After saying this, Queen Sun had already followed Shen Yi towards the entrance of Ganlu Hall.
Seeing that she was not embarrassment for him, Shen Yi was relieved, and followed the young eunuch who led the way into the inner hall, where he met His Majesty the Emperor.
Since there were no outsiders, Shen Yi did not kowtow. After bowing and saluting, the emperor granted him a seat.
After sitting down, the emperor put down the book in his hand and asked: "Listen to the noise outside, you bumped into the queen, didn't you?"
Shen Yi lowered his head and said, "Yes, I am lucky enough to meet Feng Jia."
The emperor sneered and turned to glance at Eunuch Gao: "Gao Ming, why are the people you brought out so unruly? He went to invite Shen Qing before the queen left the Manna Palace?"
Gao Ming also noticed that there was something fishy in this, so he knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, I will go check it out immediately."
The emperor snorted and did not continue.
But in Shen Yi's heart, there was something he didn't understand.
He always thought that meeting the Queen just now was an accident, but now it sounds like someone deliberately arranged it?
However, what is the use of letting the Queen see him and not speaking to him?
After the emperor struck a high note, he looked at Shen Yi and took the initiative to change the subject: "Shen Qing, you also know that I had a very unhappy time with the Queen Mother a few days ago, and I rarely go there with the Queen."
"Isn't that right? Come here early in the morning and make some noise."
The emperor sighed: "I have been living in the Manna Palace recently and haven't gone anywhere."
Having said this, the emperor couldn't help but add another sentence.
"As a queen, I really don't know how to measure anything!"
Shen Yi smiled awkwardly and did not answer.
He couldn't answer the call either.
After casually complaining to Shen Yi, the emperor looked at Mr. Shen and asked with a smile: "Qing Shen came to see me today. Is he about to leave already?"
"Um."
Shen Yi nodded and said, "I will be leaving for Yueqing early tomorrow morning."
The emperor nodded and asked, "Is there anything you need my help with?"
The emperor's words are somewhat of a spectacle.
Because His Majesty the Emperor does not have much money, or in other words, it is difficult for him to squeeze out money from the Ministry of Household Affairs to give to Shen Yi. Besides money, there is really not much he can do to help Shen Yi.
Mr. Shen lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty, after I return to Yueqing, I will immediately start to deploy operations to suppress Japanese invaders. At that time, I will need the full cooperation of the Di Reporting Department. I hope that Your Majesty can inform the Di Reporting Department. …”
The emperor touched his chin with his hand, and then said: "That's it, I'll ask Sun Jin to take the people from Di Bao Si and go south to Yueqing with you."
"Except for those who print Di newspapers and stay in Jiankang, the rest of the Di Newspaper Department will go with you and be deployed as you wish."
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, then blinked: "Your Majesty, this..."
The emperor smiled and said: "I know, what you need are the local branches set up by the Di News Agency. It is useless to ask Sun Jin and others, but after all, it can make things more convenient, and then..."
"I'm ready to give the Shibo Division you proposed earlier a try."
Shen Yi suddenly felt enlightened.
It turned out that Sun Jin was asked to go down and set up the Shipping Department.
From this point of view, eunuch Sun Jinsun has indeed won the Holy Heart. As long as he does his job well in the next period of time, he may be able to replace Gao Ming and become the top leader of the inner court in the future!
Shen Yi thought for a while and asked: "Where do you plan to let Eunuch Sun go?"
"Of course it's Wenzhou Prefecture."
The emperor seemed to have thought about it a long time ago and said without thinking: "Currently, the anti-Japanese army is stationed in Yueqing County, Wenzhou Prefecture. In this case, I am planning to set up the first city shipping department there, so that the anti-Japanese army will be there." There shouldn't be any trouble there."
"If this shipping company can run well."
The emperor looked a little excited: "By next year, I will be able to prepare four more shipping companies."
He looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "At that time, Shen Qing, you can also prepare four other anti-Japanese troops to join the current one and form a capital for me."
"I have already thought of a name."
The emperor looked excited: "Just call the Coastal Capital Commander!"
In other words, the emperor basically fully agreed with the idea proposed by Shen Yi before.
The model envisioned by Shen Yi, in which the coastal defense force protects the city's shipping department and maritime trade routes, is actually somewhat similar to that of the navy.
Of course, the emperor did not have the concept of a navy in his mind.
He didn't do this just to defend the coast.
At first, he just wanted to secretly create an army that could replace the Huaihe Navy when necessary in the future...
And even now, the reason why the emperor is so motivated is because he has eaten the pie painted by Master Shen and wants to provide revenue to the court and earn some money for himself.
As for changing the name of the Dusi, it is a matter of course. After all, the anti-Japanese army with only one guard can already sweep away the Japanese pirates. If a Dusi is established in the future and is called the Anti-Japanese Dusi, it will be a bit pricey.
Then, Shen Yi stood up and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty is wise."
The emperor smiled.
"This is all your idea, how can I be enlightened?"
Shen Yi also smiled and said: "Your Majesty can adopt the foolish opinions of my ministers, so he is naturally wise."
The emperor chuckled: "So, if I don't adopt these ideas of yours, I will be an unsage and foolish king?"
"I don't dare."
Shen Yi coughed: "Your Majesty is always wise."
"That's it."
The emperor glanced at Shen Yi, half-smiling but not smiling: "If I reject you, a smart person like you, you won't necessarily scold me in your heart."
As he spoke, he patted Mr. Shen on the shoulder from behind.
