Chapter 1393 The Two Emperors of the North and South
The process of prospecting for the location of the imperial mausoleum and finding the dragon's cave is very complicated. After the decision is made, it must be reported to the emperor. Some emperors even have to visit the site in person to see for themselves where they will be buried in the future before they can make a decision. Location.
This is not a trivial matter, it can even be said to be the first major event for every emperor after he ascends the throne. Some emperors who believe deeply in Feng Shui will even regard it as a top priority.
In fact, almost all emperors believed in Feng Shui to some extent.
In other words, the selection of the site for Emperor Hongde's imperial mausoleum in Yandu is an extremely important matter. This matter should not be decided in a few months. If it is more serious, it may take two or three years to decide. , and then spend another seven or eight years building the imperial mausoleum.
Therefore, it is a little strange for Li Mu to come to Yandu so quickly.
Shen Yi has also noticed it.
But the reason behind it is not difficult to guess. Now that Mr. Shen has strong troops and horses, and controls all the provincial governments wherever he goes, the northern provinces have to provide him with money and food, and now he has occupied the capital of Yan. At this time, he may rebel and become emperor. It was something he just thought about.
Even if Emperor Hong De and Shen Yi trust each other very much, they may feel a little unsure at this time. Therefore, it seems reasonable and reasonable to send a member of the Li family to Yandu at this time.
It's not to monitor Shen Yi or Yan Du.
There is no shortage of internal guards around Shen Yi, who will report to the court at all times.
Therefore, Prince Jin came to Yandu at this time and wanted to stay in Yandu. He probably wanted to see the scene in Yandu.
Although he can't mobilize any soldiers in the Huai'an Army, as long as he is here, the restless hearts of some people in the Huai'an Army will calm down a lot.
Although Shen Yi could see through these little thoughts, he would not say them out loud. It was just a tacit understanding between both parties.
In the next two days, Shen Yi has been dealing with the affairs of Yandu. In addition to managing the order in the city, the more important priority is to uncover the Qi army who hid in the houses of each village when the city was breached.
Those Yandu Imperial Guards who were retained by Emperor Zhaowu until the end must be loyal to the Northern Qi court. They are hidden in every workshop, which is a hidden danger that may explode at any time. We must try our best to pick them out.
Three days after the registration notice for the Huai'an Army was posted, about 4,000 Northern Qi Imperial Guards who had hidden in civilian houses took the initiative to register. Shen Yi vacated a square in the city for these people to live in, and then, Arrange for them to repair the city wall.
Yandu was besieged by the Huai'an army for several months. The Huai'an army spent countless amounts of gunpowder and artillery shells. Now, there are traces of artillery shells on all four walls of the city. The appearance can be said to be quite miserable.
These city walls must be repaired, otherwise the imperial court will lose its face if it moves to Yandu in the future.
However, these more than 4,000 people were far from the total number of Yandu Imperial Guards who were hiding. There were at least two to three thousand people hiding in various workshops. Ling Su checked each workshop and could catch more than a dozen or two every day. Ten, but the efficiency is too slow.
In the evening of that day, General Ling came to the government office study room, stood in front of Shen Yi, bowed his head and reported to Shen Yi about his work. After listening to it for a while, Mr. Shen pressed his hand and motioned for Ling Su to sit down.
After Ling Su sat down, Shen Yi took out two pamphlets in his drawer, put them on the table, and said silently: "This is the list of Yandu's forbidden troops hidden in Huanghuafang and Sijiefang. You will, tomorrow morning, Arrest people according to this list."
He looked up at Ling Su and said in a deep voice: "Remember, the three-day period has passed. These people are all rebels. After they are caught, they will be more severe."
Ling Su's eyes widened and he looked at the list on the table: "Mr. Shen, this is, this is..."
"The inner guard gave it to me."
Mr. Shen narrowed his eyes, and then said calmly: "The inner guards are buried too deep in Yandu. There are also their people among the original Yandu Forbidden Army, but now they only know the people hidden in these two workshops. "
"For those who are hiding in other houses, we need to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger out to shake them out."
Speaking of this, Shen Yi continued: "Tomorrow, I will clean up a workshop and put up a notice saying that Master Wang has obtained the roster of the Forbidden Army and is checking it one by one. At the same time, he will announce again that there are reports of neighbors hiding rebels. Yes, I will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and anyone who harbors rebels will be punished with the same crime!"
Ling Su first lowered his head in response. After he took the list from Shen Yi's hand, he looked up at Shen Yi and suddenly breathed out a breath: "Mr. Shen, our army..."
"have."
Before he could ask the question, Shen Yi gave the answer simply. He said calmly: "You just have to do business, you don't need to worry about these things."
"Give you another month, these hidden dangers in Yandu City must be cleared away."
"After cleaning the house, Yandu can return to its former appearance."
Ling Su nodded first, then lowered his head and asked: "Mr. Shen, if the other rebels surrender after knocking the mountain to shake the tiger tomorrow, how should we deal with them?"
"Fifty stick."
Mr. Shen said quietly: "Then work as a hard worker and build the city wall."
Ling Su bowed his head respectfully: "General, I understand!"
…………
The next day, blood flow continued in Huanghuafang.
But Shen Yi himself didn't have the leisure to attend.
Because Emperor Zhaowu woke up.
After Mr. Shen finished handling some official matters, he slowly came to the palace. In a side hall of the palace, he saw Emperor Zhaowu lying on the bed with a pale face.
The imperial doctor who detoxified him was standing at the door. After seeing Shen Yi, he quickly stepped forward, lowered his head and said, "Master Hou."
Shen Yi said "hmm" and said with his hands behind his back: "How is he? Can he survive?"
The imperial doctor lowered his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty...he swallowed the medicine not long ago, and he had already vomited out most of it. The rest was treated with medicine by the villain, and his life was saved, but..."
"But this medicine is so overbearing, villain. You would have died after taking it. Now even if you are cured, it has damaged the root and may greatly shorten your lifespan."
Mr. Shen nodded silently and glanced at Emperor Zhaowu.
This means that if the root cause of the disease is removed, your life may be short.
But Shen Yi didn't care about this. If Zhao Kai had not become the emperor of Northern Qi, Mr. Shen would be the first to kill after entering Yandu City.
Only because of his identity, Shen Yi chose to save him.
After waving his hand, the imperial doctor left sensibly. Mr. Shen walked into the side hall with his hands behind his back. He looked at Emperor Zhaowu on the bed with a smile on his face: "People say there is great terror between life and death. Your Majesty has died once, are you now fully enlightened?"
This "Your Majesty" was said with an obvious sense of ridicule.
Emperor Zhaowu's eyes had lost any sparkle.
He looked at Shen Yi, then suddenly bent over and started to vomit.
But because he hadn't eaten anything, he couldn't vomit anything and only vomited yellow water all over the floor.
Shen Yi frowned and took two steps back.
Emperor Zhaowu vomited for a long time before he raised his head and looked at Shen Yi. A smile appeared on his face, a slightly weird smile.
"Shen Qi, all you have tried is to take me and go to your master to ask for a reward."
"I originally admired you very much, but you insulted me so much..."
He clenched his fist fiercely and gritted his teeth: "You are right, there is great terror between life and death. I have already died once, and there is no need to die a second time. I want to live well. Let's see what happens between you and your master." What kind of situation will we reach in the future!"
Mr. Shen frowned, and then said: "The Emperor and I are monarchs and ministers."
Emperor Zhaowu sneered: "I am a slave!"
In ancient times, the word "chen" did have the meaning of a male slave, but since its evolution, it has no longer meant what it used to mean.
Mr. Shen was also educated. Hearing this, he didn't bother to argue with him. He just said lightly: "Since Your Majesty doesn't want to die, then just live a good life. I am kind to Your Majesty and will not mistreat you."
"You can live a good life in the future."
Zhao Kai sneered and said: "You want to capture me alive just to threaten Shengjing through me. But when I let them out, I had already given them instructions. Once my eldest son arrives in Shengjing, no matter whether I am alive or dead, Even if he dies, he will immediately ascend to the throne!"
"Shen Qi, your plan is going to fail!"
Emperor Zhaowu didn't know where he got the strength from, and shouted: "Three days have passed, and now the news from Yandu has probably reached Li Zhuang. Just wait and see, your master Jiankang is already here." I’m planning on how to deal with you!”
Mr. Shen had no expression on his face and said calmly: "This is not something that Your Majesty should worry about."
Emperor Zhaowu looked at Shen Yi coldly and sneered.
…………
In Jiankang Imperial City, Emperor Hongde had indeed just received a letter from Yandu.
Compared with the previous times, this time he was a little calmer. After all, Yandu had been besieging the city for several months, and the situation in Yandu was reported every day. The destruction of the city was not an unexpected thing.
But even so, His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but smile on his face.
The destruction of Yandu means that he, the leader of ZTE, has been firmly established.
This means that when future generations write history books, they will definitely write a special note on this page of his!
His Majesty the Emperor laughed for a long time, then looked at Sun Jin who was standing aside, and laughed loudly: "Go and invite some prime ministers."
"Tell them that Yan has been defeated and I want to reward the three armies."
Having said this, His Majesty the Emperor scratched his head: "Let them give it to me..."
