Because although the Northern Qi mission had no manpower in the city, there were one or two hundred Qi soldiers escorting them along the way. Not to mention how many men it would take to crush these two hundred Qi soldiers head-on, even if Shen Yi could mobilize so many men. , the regiment destroyed these two hundred soldiers.
He also wanted to kill all the Northern Qi envoys.
This will make things big.
There may be a war between the two countries.
In fact, there was no way to hide this kind of thing from the emperor. The emperor might even know about Xue Wei and others' arrival in Jiankang by now.
If things get serious, they will not end well.
Because once the war breaks out, if Chen Guo's war on the front line goes well, then everything will be fine. But if the war goes wrong, the emperor will definitely blame Shen Yi.
Because Shen Yi single-handedly provoked this war that Chen State was not fully prepared for.
Shen Yi didn't think that the little affection between himself and the emperor would be of any use.
Therefore, Shen Yi needed to kill Zhou Yuancui accurately.
Then there are only two places to kill him.
First, in Jiankang City, the Northern Qi envoy did not have military support. As long as he used some means and hired a few professional people, he could be killed.
Another place is on the Huaihe River.
The Empress Dowager's birthday is on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, which is the day after the Shangyuan Festival. After celebrating her birthday, these Northern Qi envoys have no reason to stay in Jiankang. They will turn all the way north and cross the Huaihe River to return to Northern Qi territory.
Most of these Qi people don't know how to swim.
As long as there are some people with good enough water quality and quick enough hands, it is possible to kill this guy on the Huai River.
Xue Wei looked up at Shen Yi, his eyes full of excitement.
"Misfortune and blessing come together" means that from now on, Xue Wei will be completely bound to Mr. Shen and become a member of the "Shen Clan".
In the future, Mr. Shen will become more powerful in the court and may develop into a "Shen Party"!
And he, Xue Wei, will be one of the senior members with the highest status in this interest group!
More importantly, with this relationship with Shen Yi, Xue Wei's future will not be too bad if the Southeast Coast Bureau is established this year.
He did not hesitate, half-knelt in front of Shen Yi again, bowed his head deeply and said: "As long as I can do something for Mr. Shen, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"Well."
Shen Yi reached out and knocked on the table, and said in a deep voice: "This person lives in the Rites Hall. In the next few days, I will ask someone to take you to identify him. After you identify him, you take your brothers and go north..."
"The Huai River is the junction of the two countries. The situation there is complicated. I will give you a sum of money to open a road there. I will spend the money to get a few small boats there. Then I will find a way to scuttle the big ship of the Northern Qi envoy. Wait for those people After falling into the water, you sail a boat to rescue and find Zhou Yuanchui..."
Mr. Shen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Do you understand what I mean?"
"clear."
Xue Wei patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, my subordinates will definitely accomplish this for you."
Shen Yi took a deep breath and said, "If you can kill, kill him immediately. If you can't kill, you should also scare him so that he will remember you forever."
"also……"
"Both countries have troops stationed near the Huai River. You only have one chance after the shipwreck of the Northern Qi mission."
"There were troops on both sides. If they missed a hit, they would immediately run away and flee to the south."
Shen Yi took a deep breath and warned: "You can be caught by the local government, but you cannot be caught by the Huaihe Navy. Do you understand?"
"I obey my orders!"
Xue Wei suddenly stood up and hugged Shen Yi: "I will make arrangements immediately!"
"Arrange shit."
Shen Yi rolled his eyes at the guy and said angrily: "It's so late on a snowy day, what are you going to arrange?"
"Let's wait until tomorrow to do everything."
"I'll ask Jiang Sheng to take you to the wing to rest, and then ask the family to boil a pot of hot water for you. After you wash up, take a nap and have a good rest."
After that, Shen Yi asked Jiang Sheng to take Xue Wei down to rest, and at the same time asked the maid at home to prepare some food for Xue Wei.
After sending Xue Wei away from his study, Mr. Shen walked back to his chair and sat down. He glanced at the press release he had written on the paper, frowned slightly, and then grouped the manuscript into I picked up the waste paper and threw it into the wastebasket on the side.
He took a new piece of paper and placed it in front of him. After thinking for a while, he picked up a pen and wrote two lines on the paper.
"Put down the Japanese pirates, and the Holy Emperor will take charge of the southeast!"
"Looking at the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Northern Tatar horses are trampling Yanjing!"
The title is very easy to understand.
It's just that there are truths and lies.
The first half of the sentence is naturally true, but the second half...
It can only be said that it is not completely true.
Throughout the nine years of Hongde, there were indeed several wars between the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Tatars further north.
The Qi people in the Northern Dynasties were a branch of the Jurchen tribe, while the Tatars further north were the "fragments" left behind by the Mongol Empire. There were some feuds between the two sides, but now the Tatars have unified the nearby tribes and are slowly growing stronger. The conflict has become more intense in recent years.
Of course, after the Northern Qi Dynasty entered the customs, although the high-level officials were rapidly corrupted and there was no longer the Northern Qi cavalry that swept the world sixty years ago, but after all, they had a big frame. In the war with the Tatars, it could only be said that there was a mutual victory or defeat.
It is far from the level of a horse trampling the capital of Yan.
Therefore, the second half of this manuscript was "slightly exaggerated" by Shen Yi based on the situation in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
After having an idea, Mr. Shen became more comfortable writing articles. It took him one night to basically finish the article.
The next day, on the morning of the eleventh day of the first lunar month, Shen Yi took the manuscript that the palace had been urging for several days and entered the palace. He met Eunuch Gao in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and handed over his manuscript.
Gao Ming took the manuscript and did not read it directly. Instead, he looked at Shen Yi and said lightly: "Scholar Shen's article took several days to write this time. Even His Majesty asked him several times, but he was not as diligent as before. Already."
Mr. Shen looked serious, cupped his hands and said: "Eunuch Gao, this article was written with great effort by this official. There are still several scrap manuscripts at home. Naturally, this official will not slack off at all in the matter that His Majesty has told me."
Eunuch Gao chuckled and said, "We will hand over this article right now. Bachelor Shen, don't leave yet. Please sit in the chamberlain for a while. His Majesty may summon you soon."
Shen Yi nodded honestly.
After the high eunuch left the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he sat in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and drank tea. After about a while, the young eunuch came over and took him to the Manna Hall, where he met His Majesty the Emperor in winter clothes.
The emperor was sitting on the soft couch, still reading Shen Yi's article. When he saw Shen Yi walking in, before Shen Yi could salute, His Majesty the Emperor waved to Shen Yi: "Come here."
Shen Yi took a few steps closer, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty."
The emperor shook the article in his hand and looked up at Shen Yi: "Why didn't I know that the Tatar horse trampled Yanjing?"
"I didn't say that the Tatar horses trampled Yanjing."
Mr. Shen blinked and said with a smile: "I just said that the Tatars are so fierce that they may want to trample Yanjing."
The emperor laughed and cursed.
"Sneaky."
"You are also a second-ranked scholar who studied the books of sages. How could you be so cunning?"
Mr. Shen shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is not cunning."
"Except for the slightly exaggerated title of this article, the content of this article can be said to be true. Printing it will not only cover up the matter of Concubine Hui, but also boost the morale of the military and civilians..."
Shen Yi wanted to continue speaking, but the emperor rolled his eyes at him and interrupted him.
"You can also let the world see your contribution to the southeast, Shen Qi, right?"
Shen Yi lowered his head and smiled, but did not answer.
The emperor glanced at Eunuch Gao and said calmly: "Gao Ming, take it down and publish it in the palace newspaper as soon as possible."
Eunuch Gao bowed his head respectfully, took the article written by Shen Yi, and went down to do his errands.
After Eunuch Gao left, the emperor looked at Shen Yi and said with emotion: "When I was young, the late emperor taught me that the history pen is like a sword."
"I was young at the time and didn't take it seriously."
"I think those scholars are just recording things. As long as I am upright, how can they hurt others with their swords and pens?"
"Now that I read Shen Qing's article, I suddenly realized..."
The emperor's eyes were dark.
"The same thing is very different in different people's writings."
I thought about this title for the Di newspaper for three or four hours. I was even dreaming about how to write it. It was so difficult...
