After hearing Shen Yi's answer, the two inner guards stood up, looked at Shen Yi, and smiled: "If you say this, the matter will be clear. Let's find a place. The young master will write out this poem in full, and our brothers will hand it over. , explain the whole matter clearly to the above, and the errand will be considered completed."
Another inner guard also smiled and said: "Master Shen, please, our brothers will go find you pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
"No need."
Shen Yi took out a piece of white paper from his sleeve, on which the poem had been copied. He handed the paper over and said, "I've already copied it."
The two inner guards took it and looked at it, only to see five more words added after the original two lines of poetry.
"The man in the bright moon has his heart broken."
In this era, there are not many people who can read, and even fewer can understand the profound meaning of poems. Even those who work in the inner guard can only know a few words at most, and it is impossible to have deep literary attainments. Two inner guard biography He looked at it, then put the paper into his arms, smiled at Shen Yi and said, "Then our brothers will hand over this thing."
Shen Yi took a deep breath, stepped forward and said, "If the two guards have any requests, I will definitely cooperate. I can deal with the two guards now."
The two people looked at each other, then shook their heads at Shen Yi and said, "Master Shen misunderstood. The superiors only asked us to find out this matter, and did not ask us to arrest anyone."
The inner guard smiled at Shen Yi and said: "And since Mr. Shen is a scholar, the inner guards can't take people easily. Anyway, the young master has to take exams in the capital and will not leave the capital in a short time. There is no need to go back with us today. Just Just leave an address."
After saying that, the guard glanced at the rented yard behind Shen Yi and asked, "Does the young master live here?"
Shen Yi lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, I live here."
In fact, he doesn't live here.
But where he lives is a bit sensitive.
Because he is now living in the Prince of Jin's Mansion, that is, in the house of the emperor's uncle. Originally, this matter was just because of the poem, but if it involves the Prince of Jin's Mansion, and it is spread to the emperor's ears by the inner guards, it may cause some misunderstandings. .
What's more important is that Prince Jin doesn't know about the fact that Shen Yi lives in Prince Jin's Mansion. If Prince Jin is somehow involved, not only will things become complicated, Prince Jin, whom he has never met before, might also become involved. Not happy.
The two inner guards nodded, and one of them cupped his hand towards Shen Yi and said, "That's it for today. Don't run around young master these days. Maybe someone will ask him for questioning."
Shen Yi returned the gift with his hand and asked: "I don't know what the surnames of the two eldest brothers are?"
Hearing this sentence, the two inner guards were a little surprised.
Because scholars have always looked down upon others.
This kind of contempt is not limited to a certain class, but looks down on any class except scholars. Some stupid scholars even looked down on the emperor who did not study, thinking that the emperor was illiterate.
The profession of internal security is naturally looked down upon by scholars.
Normal scholars, even if they have contact with internal guards, will rarely ask for their names.
Asking for a name means that there is some sense of friendship.
The two inner guards looked at each other again, then smiled slightly, and saluted Shen Yi with clasped fists.
"A humble name is not worth mentioning, but I have a great reputation."
Another taller inner guard also cupped his hands and clasped his fists, and said in a muffled voice: "I'm Zhao Ge."
Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said: "The two elder brothers have been busy these days. When this matter is over, if I am still free, I will definitely treat the two elder brothers to dinner."
"Easy to say."
Qi Dayou smiled heartily and said: "We, Mr. Chen, have never been convicted for speech. Even if we were, it would not be a serious crime. Mr. Shen has great literary talent.
In high school in the future, my brother will definitely come to congratulate you."
After saying that, the two inner guards turned and left.
Both of them were quite tall. They quickly walked into a corner and disappeared from Shen Yi's sight. After entering an alley, Qi Dayou stopped, looked back at his partner, and said: "Let's face each other." We don’t know much about Mr. Shen, so if we report him to him like this, we will probably be asked to check his background."
"Um."
Zhao Ge nodded and said: "Before reporting him, you must find out his origins."

at night.
Deqing Hall of the Royal Palace.
Deqing Hall is His Majesty the Emperor's bedroom. The lights in Deqing Hall are brightly lit at the moment.
His Majesty the Emperor did not sleep peacefully, but sat in front of a desk, which was covered with papers.
This is the document recently sent by the Zhongshu Provincial Council.
After the official start of the imperial court after the Lantern Festival, His Majesty the Emperor, who has reached the age of sixteen, has slowly begun to take over the affairs of the imperial court. Several prime ministers did not know whether they wanted to train the young emperor or to provide support to the young emperor. A show of force, or perhaps too much official work has been accumulated during the half month of the New Year holiday. There are hundreds of documents and memorials delivered every day in the past two days, and at a glance, it seems that they are all matters that need to be dealt with by the emperor. , very "reasonable".
In this way, the little emperor, who had just started working in the new year, already had a lot of urgent documents piled up on his desk, forcing his majesty to work overtime late at night.
But this is not surprising.
In fact, it is normal for every emperor who wants to make a difference, or a "wise king", to work overtime.
Without the "workaholic" attribute, it is difficult to be a serious and wise king. Even if you are a wise king when you take the throne, you will become slack after a few years.
Of course, His Majesty the Emperor is still full of energy. He lies on the desk and reads the documents carefully one by one.
The great eunuch Gao Ming came in with a bowl of hot soup and carefully placed it in the hands of the little emperor. Then he lowered his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, please drink some hot soup to warm yourself up."
When the little emperor heard this, he put down the documents in his hand and frowned: "There are too many things going wrong."
As he picked up the hot soup, he groaned: "It's probably the old men in the meeting hall who deliberately made things difficult for me. In just a few days, I have piled up so many documents here!"
Gao Ming glanced at the hundreds of books stacked on the table and sighed inwardly.
As the eunuch beside the emperor, he was very aware of the daily workload of the prime ministers. In fact, the prime ministers in the Zhongshu Provincial Council did not make things difficult for the emperor, they just sent all the documents that should be sent.
Seeing the gloomy Emperor, uu Kanshu www.uukanshu.com Gao Ming suddenly thought of the news just sent by the inner guard. He leaned slightly and said: "Your Majesty, the affairs of the court cannot be handled in one day. Today has already been completed
It’s late at night, it’s not too late to deal with the rest tomorrow.”
"No, there will probably be work tomorrow."
His Majesty the Emperor looked at these documents and said, "If I can't handle these things well, how will I be able to regain the country in the future?"
Eunuch Gao knelt down next to the emperor, lowered his head slightly, and said with a natural smile: "Your Majesty is a British ruler, and he will definitely be able to regain his homeland in the future."
At this point, Eunuch Gao seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "By the way, Your Majesty, the internal guards have already investigated the matter that you asked the internal guards to investigate last time."
"Inner guard?"
The little emperor frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
Obviously, he had completely forgotten about the incident.
"About the poem from the Shangyuan Poetry Society."
Eunuch Gao smiled and reminded: "Your Majesty asked us to find out who wrote that poem."
"oh."
The little emperor patted his head: "I remembered."
He looked at Gao Ming and asked, "Have you checked it out? Who wrote it?"
"It's a boy named Shen Yi, from Jiangdu Prefecture, who came to the capital to take the exam."
The emperor nodded casually: "Then you can handle this matter and reward him with something in my name."
Eunuch Gao lowered his head slightly and said softly: "Your Majesty, this Shen Yi... seems to live in Prince Jin's house."
"Um?"
The emperor raised his head, glanced at Gao Ming, and frowned slightly.
