Because Gao Ming helped Shen Yi go to various yamen, within a few days, Shen Yi basically got everything he needed.
The first is the imperial decree allowing the expansion of the Huai'an Army and the corresponding documents from the Ministry of War.
This imperial edict is the most important thing.
Because there are four words written in the imperial edict.
Act cheaply.
This means that Shen Yi can be in Huai'an at his own convenience without having to report everything.
This gives Shen Yi great autonomy. He can not only decide matters within the Huai'an Prefecture, but also decide whether the Huai'an army should fight or not, and whether to fight further north.
In addition to the imperial edict of the imperial court, the imperial court's military affairs bureau also began to go all out to produce armor stomachs for the Huai'an army.
In this matter, the Ministry of Revenue happily allocated money. With the speed of the Bureau of Military Affairs, it is estimated that within half a year, the Huai'an Army will be able to gradually provide the armor, arrows, weapons and other armaments needed by the Huai'an Army.
, sent to Huai'an.
At this point, Shen Yi is almost ready for what he needs to prepare in Huai'an.
It is worth mentioning that Jiang Ming, the grandson of Jiang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of War, has already left for Huai'an. He did not go alone, but also brought a friend with him.
Liang Feng is the son of Liang Gong, the Minister of War.
Although it didn't bring too many people, it still gave Huai'an a little boost.
After all the preparation work in Huai'an was completed, Shen Yi did not have much time to stay in Huai'an.
Fortunately, Huai'an this year is not as war-intensive as last year, so Shen Yi does not need to rush back and can stay at home with his family for a few more days.
On the twenty-first day of the first lunar month, when Mr. Shen was drinking tea at home, someone came to visit him. Lian'er came over and said that he was wearing a scarlet official uniform with a peacock patch on his front.
After staying in Jiankang for a long time and following her own lady around in Jiankang's circle of ladies, Lian'er naturally recognized the grade of official uniforms and knew that this was the standard for third-rank officials, so she came to inform Shen Yi.
Although Mr. Shen is also a third-rank official now, he is a third-rank official in Jiankang and is a little weak. Hearing that a third-rank official is coming, he doesn't want to neglect it, so he goes out with Lian'er to greet him.
Walking to the front yard, Shen Yi finally saw this visiting guest.
He looks to be in his early forties. He is a third-rank official at this age, so he can be said to be young and promising.
After seeing Shen Yi, this man immediately took two steps quickly, smiled and saluted with his hands raised: "I have met Mr. Shen."
Shen Yi looked at this third-grade official and felt that he looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was, so he returned the favor and said with a smile: "Where does this brother come from?"
The man looked at Shen Yi with a smile: "Master Shen, noble man, forgets things so much that he doesn't remember me."
Shen Yi smiled bitterly and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. There have been too many things in the past one or two years. I can't remember it all. I dare you to ask..."
The man smiled and said, "My surname is Yuan."
He reminded: "I met Mr. Shen in Fujian two years ago."
Only then did Shen Yi suddenly think of it!
He had indeed met this man.
At that time, the imperial court...or His Majesty the Emperor, in order to help the new Fujian governor Cheng Tingzhi establish a foothold in Fujian, he sent officials from the Sanfa Department to Fujian to clear the ground for Cheng Tingzhi, and at the same time to stand up for the situation.
And the Master Yuan in front of me was the leader of those officials from the Three Law Departments back then!
Yuan Tan, Shaoqing of Dali Temple!
Shen Yi clapped his hands and said suddenly: "I remembered, it turned out to be Yuan Shaoqing. When I was in Fujian, I also said that after returning to Jiankang, I would invite Yuan Shaoqing to drink..."
Speaking of this, Shen Yi remembered something again, quickly changed his title, and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, shouldn't he be the Young Minister of Dali Temple now?"
The Shaoqing of Dali Temple is an official of the fourth rank. Now Yuan Tan, wearing the uniform of a third-rank official, naturally cannot be the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
"Thank you for your majesty's trust."
Yuan Tan said with a smile: "Last year, His Majesty was transferred to the Yushitai, and now he is the right deputy of the Yushitai."
Having said this, he looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "This time I was also ordered to serve as a supervisor and go north to Huai'an with Shen Shilang."
It was only then that Shen Yi finally understood the purpose of Yuan Shaoqing's visit.
He also remembered what Emperor Hongde said a few days ago.
Emperor Hongde said that Shen Yi could be allowed to act cheaply, but he would have to ask the Huai'an Army to send a supervisor there.
The imperial censor was inspecting the world, so it was perfect to send Yuan Tan, the third-rank right deputy imperial envoy, to Huai'an to serve as the supervisor of the army.
Of course, Yuan Tan is also a smart man. Although he became the supervisor, he was obviously not willing to offend Shen Yi, so he came to Shen Yi early in the morning to get acquainted with him.
The deputy censor of the Censor's Office is a third-rank official. Sometimes when he goes out to serve as governor, he will bear this title. Compared with the previous Shaoqing of Dali Temple, it is a real promotion.
Moreover, this Yuan Shaoqing, who was the Prime Minister of Dali Temple a few years ago, was promoted to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple today. It seems that he did well in Fujian and won the Sacred Heart. Therefore, in just two years, he was promoted to Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
Upgraded two levels and one level.
In the Sanfasi system, it can be said that he has reached great heights.
Mr. Shen cupped his hands in front of Yuan Tan and said with a smile: "It turns out that Brother Yuan has been promoted. I have been away all this time and I didn't pay much attention to him."
"Congratulations to Yuan Xiantai."
Yuan Tan waved his hands repeatedly and said with a wry smile: "The imperial envoy is the official in charge of the throne. Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Shen. If it gets out, it will arouse criticism."
Mr. Shen said with a smile: "General officials are most afraid of impeachment if they say something wrong. Brother Yuan is now the Xiantai of the Yushitai. What are you afraid of?"
Yuan Tan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I have been in Dali Temple. I just entered the Yushitai not long ago. How can I take care of the affairs of the Yushitai?"
He paused and said to Shen Yi: "Shilang Shen, Yuan's cousin name is Xiangting. I'm afraid we will have to work together for a while in the future, so Shilang Shen's nickname is Yuan."
Shen Yi also smiled and nodded: "I don't have the actual title of minister, so from now on, brother Xiangting will call me by my cousin."
Yuan Tan nodded and said with a smile: "I rushed to visit Zi Heng today because there are some things that I need to talk to Zi Heng in advance."
Shen Yi smiled: "I'm all ears, little brother."
Yuan Tan slightly cupped his hands and said, "To be honest with Zi Heng, I just met your Majesty yesterday, and your Majesty also explained to me what exactly he was going to do in Huai'an this time."
"Your Majesty asked me to listen and see more after I go to Huai'an, but try not to talk."
Yuan Tan said with a smile: "To put it bluntly, as a supervisor, I just want to show the ministers in Zhongshu and reassure them that it will not affect anything you do in Huai'an, Zi Heng."
"Zi Hengda can relax on this point."
With a smile on his face, Shen Yi said: "Since Brother Xiangting is the supervisor, he can do whatever he wants. In Huai'an, if you find anything wrong, you can tell me immediately."
"I really can't stand it. If I should write to the court, I will write to the court."
Yuan Fuxian shook his head repeatedly: "Zi Heng must not think like this. Brother Yu has never been in the army and does not understand the affairs of the army. Your Majesty sent me just to allow the Huai'an army to expand its army in a legitimate manner."
"When we arrived in Huai'an, Ziheng just pretended that I didn't exist."
In five or six years, Yuan Tan went from being the fifth-ranking Prime Minister of Dali Temple to completing the double jump and became the current third-ranking Yuan Fuxian.
This process was all completed after Emperor Hongde took office, which means that he must be unquestionably loyal to the emperor and absolutely loyal to the emperor.
From this perspective, it is reasonable to send him to Huai'an.
After the two people exchanged polite words for several times, Yuan Fuxian looked at Shen Yi and asked, "I don't know when Zi Heng will leave for Huai'an. Brother Yu can be prepared after he returns."
"It's probably just a few days."
Shen Yi looked at the sky outside and said with a smile: "We will wait for a sunny day and no more rain or snow, then we will set off. What does Brother Xiangting think?"
Yuan Tan stood up, raised his hands to Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "Zi Heng is the one in charge, so naturally everyone listens to Zi Heng."
"That's it, Brother Yu, I'll take my leave now."
Shen Yi stood up, pulled his sleeves, and said with a smile: "You're already here, why are you leaving? Have a meal in the humble house before leaving."
Yuan Tan looked around and said with a smile: "Zi Heng's house cannot be called a humble house."
Shen Yi smiled and did not answer.
However, he did stay with Yuan Fuxian for lunch at home. After lunch, he sent Yuan Tan out of the house, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "In a few days, we will work together in Huai'an, brother Xiangting Duoduo
take care of."
"Don't dare to take it seriously."
Yuan Tan returned the gift with his hands raised.
"It's Zi Heng who needs to take more care of me..."
