Chapter 611 The tacit understanding between the king and his ministers
Perhaps the Fuzhou nobles were not as courageous as Shen Yi thought, or perhaps they felt there was still room to continue negotiating terms.
In short, Shen Yi's residence was calm that night, and no one came to disturb him. There was no such bad incident as when he was almost burned to death in Yueqing.
The next morning, after Mr. Shen got up, he first read a few letters sent from other places, and then went to the study to reply to Yueqing and Jiankang.
After Feng finished writing the reply, Shen Yi called Ling Su into his study, and then said: "I won't be going to behead the Japanese pirates today. You can go and kill those Japanese pirates for me."
Having said this, Shen Yi paused and continued: "Remember, we are here to kill the Japanese pirates, and the interrogation of the Japanese pirates outside the city cannot stop. Try to ask some useful things."
Ling Su first said yes, then lowered his head slightly and said, "Mr. Shen, aren't those letters enough to convict these families?"
"enough."
Shen Yi looked calm and said with a smile: "I came to Fuzhou because the evidence is sufficient."
"My arrival here means that the imperial court's sword has been raised."
Mr. Shen looked calm and said calmly: "But how to drop this knife and how many people to kill still need to be considered."
Ling Su stretched out his hand and scratched his head.
He didn't understand what Shen Yi meant, but he nodded obediently and went down to do his work.
After Ling Su left, he stretched out in his study, then silently looked north, in the direction of Jiankang.
If Shen Yi wanted to kill people, or kill people like Li Mu, then on the first day he came to Fuzhou, he could directly use the letters he got from the Japanese pirates to raid the homes and seize people.
With three thousand elite soldiers at his disposal, no one in Fuzhou city can stop him.
But there is a price to pay for such pleasure.
These noble families in Fuzhou all have their own influence in the court, and these local officials in Fuzhou have almost made their attitude towards Shen Yi clear.
They were not willing to see Shen Yi set off a major Japanese-trafficking case in Fuzhou.
They wanted to kill all the Japanese prisoners as soon as possible, and then pretend that no one in Fuzhou City was treason. Then they would invite the anti-Japanese soldiers to a meal, and the matter would be over peacefully. .
This is the attitude shown by the Fuzhou government office towards Shen Yi.
However, what is more subtle is the attitude towards Shen Yi from the Fujian Governor's Yamen, as well as the three Yamen of the Fansi, Nasi, and Dusi.
The so-called three divisions of the yamen are respectively the Division of Proclamation Envoys, the Division of Prosecutions and Envoys, and the Division of Commanding Envoys.
They are in charge of political affairs, criminal affairs and military affairs respectively.
With Shen Yi's current status, after he arrives in Fuzhou City, not to mention whether the Fujian governor will come to see him, the three chief officials under the governor's office, that is, several provincial bosses, should come forward to see him anyway. It's one side.
After all, those provincial bosses in Zhejiang rushed to Yueqing from Lin'an Prefecture to see him.
It has been more than two days since Shen Yi arrived in Fuzhou.
From beginning to end, only Fuzhou government officials came out to see Shen Yi, and they even had some unpleasant troubles with Shen Yi.
However, none of the provincial officials have shown up yet.
This made Shen Yi have to doubt the attitude of these officials in the Fujian Provincial Government.
Therefore, although he raised the knife, he did not drop it directly.
After all, he is not Li Mu.
If he was also the emperor's cousin and had a royal father in his family, Shen Yi wouldn't have to think about these bullshit things at this moment. He would just punch hard and immediately beat the city of Fuzhou into a Qingming world!
Unfortunately, his foundation is too shallow.
Once he takes action, there may be countless people waiting to join him, including provincial, second and third grade officials.
Therefore, before Shen Yi came to Fuzhou, he had already sent a secret message to Jiankang.
He first had to obtain authorization for action from the emperor.
In this way, even if Lou Zi is stabbed later, as long as the matter is not particularly big, the emperor will not be embarrassed to let Shen Yi handle it by himself...
Thinking of this, Mr. Shen thought of another memorial letter sent out overnight last night.
In the memorial, the specific situation of the Fuzhou gentry was also reported.
It can be regarded as a supplement to the last secret message.
Thinking of this, Mr. Shen stretched out his hand and yawned again because he didn't sleep well last night. Then in his study, he whispered in a low voice: "The official position is not high, the power is not heavy, it is just troublesome, and I have nothing to do."
"If I were the governor of the southeast..."
Mr. Shen snorted and did not continue.
But the meaning behind his words was already very obvious.
If Shen Yi was the governor of the southeast, then these people in Fuzhou would have been beaten to death by his punch.
…………
Shen Yi is now regarded as the imperial envoy of the Southeast. Although he is an imperial envoy who specializes in something and his scope of rights is not very large, he is still an imperial envoy after all.
Therefore, the secret message he reported was of a very high level.
At all the stations along the way, they are all sent to Jiankang by express delivery at a distance of 600 miles.
Therefore, Mr. Shen's letter to the court was delivered to Eunuch Gao Minggao three days later.
At this moment, the weather in Jiankang is already very cold.
Eunuch Gao stuffed Shen Yi's secret report into his sleeve, then put on a thick fur, left the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and went all the way to Ganlu Palace.
After arriving at the entrance of the Manna Palace, Gao Ming took off his fur coat and handed it to the eunuch on the side. Then he carefully entered the Manna Palace. When he walked in front of the emperor, he kowtowed first and then stood up and knelt down beside the emperor. Next to the stove, a new piece of coal was thrown into the stove.
The emperor was reading a miscellaneous book from the Northern Qi Dynasty. He took the time to glance at Gao Ming, seeming to remember something, and asked: "Have you been to the Queen's place?"
Eunuch Gao bowed his head respectfully and said, "Go back to Your Majesty. I went there in the morning and brought the imperial doctor with me. The imperial doctor took the Queen's pulse. The Queen's pulse is normal and there is nothing serious."
The emperor's face looked a little better, and then he said slowly: "Those maids in the Queen's Palace should be beaten to death. The Queen has a big belly, they can also make the Queen fall!"
"Yes, I understand."
Eunuch Gao quickly lowered his head and said: "We have arranged for all the servants and maids in the Queen's Palace to be replaced. The replacements are all careful people who will definitely be able to take good care of the Queen..."
A respectful smile appeared on his face: "Since the Queen is fine, Your Majesty, don't worry too much."
"Um."
The emperor said "hmm" in a neutral tone and continued to read the idle book in his hand.
Eunuch Gao hesitated for a moment, but took out Shen Yi's memorial from his sleeve and held it in front of the emperor with both hands: "Your Majesty, urgent report from Fuzhou."
The emperor then put down the miscellaneous books in his hand, took the memorial from Gao Ming, and asked: "Fuzhou? Did Shen Qi send it back?"
"yes."
A smile appeared on Eunuch Gao's face: "I probably have something to ask His Majesty for advice."
"What do you ask for?"
As the emperor unfolded the memorial, he groaned: "Didn't he already submit a memorial a few days ago? I also gave him my approval and asked him to go ahead and do it. The anti-Japanese army fought so hard in Fujian Okay, I also gave him the title of Imperial Envoy, so why are you so timid about doing things?"
Eunuch Gao heard that the emperor was in a much better mood, so he also showed a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Fujian is not close to Jiankang. It is estimated that the local forces are intertwined, and Shen Shidu has a shallow foundation after all. I can’t make up my mind at the moment…”
The emperor had already unfolded the memorial in his hand.
The contents of the memorial are very clear.
This is roughly the general situation of how several gentry in Fuzhou communicated with the Japanese, and the conditions offered by the gentry in Fuzhou to the imperial court.
Two hundred thousand in cash and 15% of the shares.
Since Shen Yi mentioned this matter in his memorial, it means that even if he accepts this income, most of it will go to the imperial court.
After the emperor read it, he threw the memorial to Gao Ming and said calmly: "You should also take a look."
Eunuch Gao quickly took it and after reading it carefully, he sighed softly: "Shen Shidu is honest. He has reported all the benefits given to him truthfully..."
"really?"
The emperor curled his lips disdainfully and hummed softly: "He has my internal guards and the newspaper department beside him. Nothing can be hidden from the eyes and ears of the imperial court. How dare he not be honest?"
"Shen Qi is a very thoughtful person."
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly: "In fact, these two words have nothing to do with him."
"Even these two memorials."
The emperor lowered his eyebrows and said, "He also wants me to help him shoulder the responsibility, so that even if someone in the court wants to cause trouble for him, I can't help him."
Gao Ming was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, how should you reply to Shen Shidu?"
"Send him a letter and let him, the imperial envoy, handle it as the situation arises and act expediently."
He looked at the memorial sent by Shen Yi and said in a low voice: "It's just a city of Fuzhou. No matter what, it can't change the sky. If something really happens, I will support him."
Eunuch Gao responded and quickly lowered his head: "I will go and draft the documents right now..."
"Um."
The emperor nodded, then walked around the Manna Palace, and finally asked a palace attendant to open the south window.
As soon as the window was opened, the air-conditioning rushed in immediately.
The emperor looked south and whispered to himself.
"I think you should be able to figure it out."
His Majesty the Emperor had a faint smile on his face.
"Ten percent of the family property is much more than 15 percent..."
