This sentence made Shen Yi silent for a long time.
After a while, he took a hard breath and whispered: "To be honest, Your Majesty, I reported to Your Majesty the method of pacifying the Japanese this time. More than two months ago, the people from the Di Reporting Department had already arrived Went to the coastal state capital to collect information about Japanese pirates in the coastal state capital."
Li Mu's eyes lit up, then he put his hands on his hands and smiled: "I still couldn't figure out how a clan like me, which has no foundation or connections at all, can patrol the local state capitals for the emperor. When I heard Zi Heng's words, my heart It suddenly dawned on me that His Majesty had planned this for more than just one day."
He smiled and said: "If you ask me to go, you are probably just using my name as the Crown Prince of Jin. When doing things, others will not dare to talk too much."
After saying this, he looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "Since the Di Reporting Department already has local information, it will be much easier to handle. Zi Heng, please lead the way. Who should be dealt with? You can tell me who to deal with." I'll take care of the road for you, brother."
Shen Yi gave a wry smile and said: "Your Majesty, things are not that simple. Although the Di News Agency has successfully opened branches in several coastal state capitals, some people in these places are very cautious in doing things, even if they already know that some People may have access to the Japanese, but no conclusive evidence has ever been found.”
"This will not be easy to handle. Even if the prince goes to the place, he will not be able to do anything to them."
"Why not?"
Li Mu snorted and said angrily: "As a citizen of Dachen, anyone who communicates with the Japanese is a heinous crime. No evidence is needed. As long as I know clearly that they are communicating with the Japanese, I will immediately lead people to ransack their homes and seize them!" "
Shen Yi shook his head slightly.
"Your Majesty, many of the powerful and wealthy businessmen in the local area are related to some important officials in the court. They pay tribute every year and show filial piety every year. Some of them are family members of important officials in the court. When you go to the local area, you may be able to rely on the name of the clan. One house will be raided, two will be raided, but if there is no concrete evidence to prove that they are colluding with the Japanese, and there is no need to go to the third house, we will all return to Beijing in despair."
Shen Yi glanced at Li Mu and said in a low voice: "By then, I'm afraid the Jin Palace will be affected."
Li Mu frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows and smiled heartily: "In this case, I won't worry about these things. Anyway, His Majesty has already said that if you are in doubt, just ask Shen Ziheng. When the time comes, we will go to the place to deal with these troubles." I'll leave it to you to do it."
With that said, Li Mu picked up a glass of wine and saluted Shen Yi: "Come, Ziheng, let us brothers have a drink!"
Shen Yi picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the Prince of Jin. Then he raised his head and looked at Li Mu, feeling slightly emotional.
He knew very well that Li Mu was not a rough guy, but a person with a delicate mind.
The reason why Li Mu is ready to leave everything to Shen Yi and act as a nominal imperial envoy like he is now is not because of how good his relationship with Shen Yi is, or how much he trusts Shen Yi.
He did this entirely because...
This is what His Majesty the Emperor means.
The emperor's intention was to let him go to the coast to make a name for himself, and then ask Shen Yi and Shen Yi's newspaper department to go to the coast to do some things.
If he, Li Mu, insists on being a serious imperial envoy, he will do many things and make many mistakes. The more things he accomplishes, the more unhappy the Emperor will be.
Therefore, he can only do what he does now, follow the emperor's will, and leave most things to Shen Yi. As for whether Shen Yi does well or not...
In fact, it is Shen Yi's matter and has nothing to do with him, Li Mu.
If Shen Yi messed up the matter, the emperor would have no reason to blame his cousin.
In this way, the two brothers exchanged glasses of wine in the 18th building.
Since Shen Yi came after dinner, he didn't eat much at the moment and kept drinking with Li Mu.
After drinking for three rounds, Shen Yi looked up at Li Mu and asked, "When is the prince planning to leave the capital?"
Li Mu raised his glass and drank it down, then smiled hoarsely and said: "Zi Heng should not ask me this question, but should ask yourself."
"I am alone and can leave Jiankang at any time."
He looked at Shen Yi and smiled: "The key is whether you, Shen Ziheng, are ready."
Shen Yi lowered his head and took a sip of wine, then spit out the strong smell of alcohol.
"Then let's do it in three days. In three days, I will patrol the coast with the imperial envoy."
The prince smiled slightly: "Where to go?"
Shen Yi said silently: "Go to Taizhou Mansion."
"good."
The prince put his hands on his hands and smiled: "In three days, I will wait for you at the east city gate."
…………
In the next two days, Shen Yi stayed at home and did not go to work at the Di newspaper office.
Mainly to accompany my pregnant wife.
In the morning of the next day, Shen Yi took his brother Shen Heng out together. Shen Yi bought good wine and food on the street, and then let Shen Heng carry it in his hand.
Shen Heng carried the food and wine and followed his brother, curious: "Brother, where are you taking me?"
"Go and see an expert."
Shen Yi brought his brothers all the way to the Gu Family Private School in Dayifang. At this moment, Mr. Gu was still teaching in the private school. Shen Yi did not say anything after entering. Instead, he took Shen Heng with him and stood outside the school window, listening silently for half an hour. .
After listening for half an hour, Shen Yi turned to look at Shen Heng and asked, "What's the gain?"
Shen Heng frowned slightly. He looked at his brother, then at Old Man Gu, who was talking endlessly in the school, and whispered: "Brother, this gentleman's class seems a bit... um..."
"Be original."
"This is my husband in Jiankang."
Shen Yi looked calm and said: "After I arrived in Jiankang, I was able to win the imperial examination and be a Jinshi. This gentleman has great achievements. I will take you to see his old man later. Don't be rude."
After hearing Shen Yi's words, Shen Heng suddenly became serious.
Although he can be described as a child prodigy in reading, because he is a scholar, he knows better than anyone else how difficult it is to become a Jinshi. A gentleman who can help others become a Jinshi can be said to be the ultimate treasure in the officialdom.
While the two brothers were talking, Mr. Gu's class on the other side finally ended. The old man walked out with his hands behind his back. He saw the Shen Yi brothers at a glance. He walked over unsteadily, then glanced at Shen Yi and said : "Why, are you following Zhao Zhi's example and starting to cause trouble for my old man?"
Shen Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "This is my brother-in-law. I brought him here to see Master Gu specially to give him guidance and training."
Compared with Shen Yi, Shen Heng's appearance is a little more ordinary, but there is a spirituality between his eyebrows. Although he looks ordinary, he looks very attractive.
Mr. Gu looked Shen Heng up and down and asked, "How old are you?"
After receiving Shen Yi's advice, Shen Heng immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Mr. Hui, I'm already fifteen years old."
"Tsk..."
The old man looked at Shen Yi, then at Shen Heng, and asked, "Brother?"
Mr. Shen smiled and said: "We are from the same mother and we are as good as fake."
"This kid also has to take the college entrance examination?"
Shen Yi nodded again and said, "Well, this year I will take the Jiankang college entrance exam. If I pass the college exam, I will prepare for the provincial exam next fall."
"Your home... has good feng shui..."
The old man muttered, then looked at Shen Heng and said, "Boy, go and show me an article you wrote recently for the old man to read."
Shen Yi turned back and glanced at Shen Heng. Shen Heng quickly took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands: "Sir, brother has already asked me to prepare it."
Old Man Gu took it casually, glanced at it casually, and soon showed a strange look on his face. He looked up at Shen Yi and asked, "Are you ghostwriting?"
"wrong…"
"No, no."
Old Man Gu shook his head and rejected the idea: "Although the skills of this article are not as good as yours at the moment, they are much more spiritual than you."
After saying this, Old Man Gu focused his attention on Shen Heng, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
