Chapter 1048

Chapter 1048

With Zhaowu as the reign title, the intention of the new Northern Qi emperor is self-evident.

Shen Yi was in a daze for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Zhaowu, Zhaowu..."

"It seems that the minister's assumptions are correct, then Zhao Kai's fighting spirit has been decided, and there will be a big battle this year."

Shen Yi clenched his fist slightly, and said, "In the first battle, the Central Plains will be determined."

"The ruler of the Central Plains..."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "That's right, this battle is not only about Shandong, but also about Henan. When Henan recovers, the Central Plains will be settled."

He looked at Shen Yi, still with a smile on his face: "After hearing this year name, I feel much happier."

The emperor clapped his palms and said: "In the past, Master Zhu Li, everyone loved martial arts, and everyone rode and shot. Once the cavalry came out, the word martial arts was self-evident."

"Now the new emperor, Zhao Kai, is going to show his martial arts."

"this means."

The emperor laughed softly: "It means that Zhu Li's bravery has been dusted, and it needs Zhao Kai to show it again."

"However, human nature is like this, and it is not Zhao Kai who can turn it around."

The emperor said slowly: "Real Zhu Li has enjoyed so many years of blessings. How easy is it to get them back on horseback?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Shen Yi to speak, His Majesty the Emperor said softly: "It was the same with our Li family back then. For more than a hundred years, the martial arts of Taizu and Taizong that swept the world no longer existed, the clan was lazy, and the generals did not exist. "

He looked at Shen Yi and breathed a sigh of relief: "No one can reverse this situation, so that Emperor Father, in a hurry, could only use Yuan Du, who was born as a Jinshi, as a general."

When Yuan Du was mentioned, Master Shen's eyelids twitched.

General Yuan's situation back then was almost the same as he is now.

It's just that General Yuan ended up miserable.

Seeing the strange expression on Shen Yi's face, His Majesty the Emperor also realized that he seemed to have said something inappropriate. After lowering his head and taking a sip of tea, he smiled at Shen Yi and said, "I have read the archives of the memorials of the former emperor's dynasty. Yuan Du went to the Northern Expedition that year. policy, to deceive the father, claiming to be restored in five years, the father was eager to restore the country, so he was deceived by him, and he was promoted from a fifth-rank official to a second-rank official in two years, almost an extremely human minister."

"Father has high hopes for him."

Emperor Hongde lowered his head to drink tea, and sighed slightly: "I looked through the documents of the previous court, and my father almost resisted all opinions before appointing him as the commander of Zhengbei."

"result…"

Emperor Hongde squinted his eyes, and said softly: "As a result, the family property accumulated by my grandfather for 30 years was wiped out by him in a few years. After the defeat in the Northern Expedition, the emperor was annoyed for days and nights." I didn't close my eyes, and stayed in the Taimiao all the time."

Emperor Hongde's grandfather was Emperor Xianzong. Emperor Xianzong was the most outstanding emperor in Dachen since his trip to the south. He not only defeated the Northern Qi several times, but also made great efforts to govern. The stability of the political situation in Nanchen is largely due to this emperor. .

Of course, this is all in the past.

As far as the present is concerned, among the emperors since the Nandu, the most outstanding one is undoubtedly the current Emperor Hongde.

His Majesty the Emperor put down the teacup and continued.

"Because of this, Father Emperor was furious and ruthlessly dealt with the Yuan family."

"After the father, the depression is hard to calm down, and the prime of life collapses, mostly because of this."

Hearing this, Master Shen looked calm, but felt a little funny in his heart.

He is also an "old employee" who has been an official in the court for many years. He is not ignorant of the affairs of the first emperor's dynasty. The first emperor was indeed hit hard by the failure of the Northern Expedition.

But after being hit, he didn't die in depression, but began to give up on himself and indulge in female sex. In a few years, hundreds of beautiful women entered the harem, and finally his body was hollowed out, and he died in his prime.

Of course, as a son of man, Emperor Hongde naturally had to be taboo for his venerable, and Shen Yi did not have a low EQ to expose the emperor at this time, so he listened quietly.

"As for Shen Qing, you are different from Yuan Du."

Emperor Hongde patted Shen Yi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Shen Qing is young and mature, and he has done things step by step, never empty talk, until now, he has given me too many surprises."

His Majesty the Emperor said solemnly: "I can promise Shen Qing now that no matter what the result of the Northern Expedition will be in the future, I will not blame Qing for it."

"Just be you and my monarch, try your best to win a game."

"Success or failure..."

The emperor's voice was low: "Leave it to God."

Shen Yi stood up, was so moved that he almost shed tears, lowered his head and choked with sobs, and said: "Your Majesty trusts me, and I will never repay you if I die!"

Seeing Master Shen's appearance, the emperor patted Shen Yi's shoulder angrily, and scolded with a smile: "Stop doing this, act in front of me."

Master Shen withdrew his crying face and forced a smile: "Return to Your Majesty, I'm not acting, it's just that the atmosphere is here, so I don't want to cry."

The emperor also smiled.

"If Shen Qing doesn't believe what I said, after I go back, I will have someone engrave an iron coupon for you."

He touched his chin and said, "The folks seem to call it the gold medal for avoiding death."

Master Shen's face turned pale with fright, and he waved his hands quickly.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible!"

The emperor smiled and said, "Why not?"

Shen Yi looked serious.

"That stuff is bad luck."

………………

In a blink of an eye, another ten days passed in a hurry, and the time came to the 14th year of Hongde, which was also the Shangyuan Festival in the first year of Zhaowu.

On the evening of the Shangyuan Festival, Shen Yi took his family to watch the lanterns on the banks of the Qinhuai River.

Early the next morning, Shen Yi packed his luggage and prepared to go north to Xuzhou.

In fact, he was preparing to go north a few days ago, because the military situation in the north was urgent, and the Qi people in Yanzhou Mansion were active frequently, and Shen Yi needed to go back to deal with it as soon as possible.

However, Shen Yi still didn't have the heart to leave his family behind when he was away all year round, and spent the Lantern Festival in Jiankang.

The last time he left Jiankang, very few people sent him to the north, because at that time, most people in the imperial court were not very optimistic about the Northern Expedition.

This year, because Mr. Shen took over Nanzhili, he suddenly became a big celebrity in the imperial court. Before he reached the gate of the city, countless officials came to see him off and sent him more than three miles outside the city.

And because he took over Nanzhili last year, he became famous both in the government and in the opposition. Many people in Jiankang also sent each other off on both sides of the road, almost blocking the official road, and it was very lively.

Especially the officials of the Ministry of War, including Jiang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of War, were basically all present.

After Shen Yi bid farewell to all the officials, it was almost noon. He lost his patience, and after jumping on the mount with Jiang Sheng and others, he ran out of the city without any explanation.

This road has been running for more than ten miles, and came to Shili Pavilion outside Jiankang City.

In general big cities, pavilions will be set up beside the official roads three to five miles and ten miles away for pedestrians to rest.

Under the pavilion, a young man in green has been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Shen Yi and his group rushing towards him, the young man stood up and waved violently: "Ziheng, Ziheng!"

Master Shen was very fast at the moment. After tightening the reins, he ran forward for more than ten or twenty steps before stopping. He looked back at the young man behind him, then jumped off his mount, and threw the reins aside. Jiang Sheng ran quickly.

"My lord, long time no see!"

The person who came was Li Mu, the son of Prince Jin.

Li Mu returned the salute with a smile, and said, "Ziheng is in a high position now, so it's not convenient to meet him."

"I'm going to tell the prince about this."

Shen Yi bowed slightly, sighed and said: "My family has an old relationship with Prince Jin's mansion. I should have visited at the end of the year, but due to some other reasons, I didn't come. Please also invite Prince Jin and his son, don't be offended."

"Where are you talking?"

Li Mu shook his head and said, "I shouldn't have come, but if you come, it's not very good for both of us."

As he spoke, he turned and looked at the followers behind him, who immediately brought over two wooden boxes, one long and the other square.

Li Mu opened the long box and took out a long black sword from it.

The hilt is black, as is the scabbard.

"This is a long sword forged by a famous craftsman. In order to prevent slippery hands, the scabbard and hilt are wrapped in shark skin."

"Hold it in your hand, it's very convenient."

"Ziheng's Northern Expedition in the past two years has achieved great results, and I feel excited in my heart, but due to my status, I can't join in it. I will give this sword to Ziheng as a saber for you to kill the enemy and serve the country for me on the battlefield. stop."

As he spoke, he held the long sword in both hands and handed it in front of Shen Yi.

Master Shen hesitated for a moment, reached out to take it, and then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your gift."

"A sword is given to a hero."

Li Mu turned his head and pointed to the square wooden box, and said, "Here is a set of armor, which was also custom-made by someone. It is much better than the standard armor in the army, and I also gave it to Ziheng."

He cupped his hands and said: "As long as the sword can injure one person and the armor can block one blow, it can be regarded as something I have done for the court."

Shen Yi was not hypocritical either, and after being accepted, he returned the gift.

"The holy emperor is coming, and the son will do a lot in the future."

Li Mu smiled slightly.

"If only."

He faced Shen Yi and bowed to the ground.

"Take care, Ziheng."

Shen Yi returned the gift.

"The same is true for the son."
