Chapter 1034 Big fanfare

Nanzhili was a very unfamiliar name to Da Chen.

No one mentioned it for at least six to seventy years.

Because when the capital of Dachen was still in Yandu, the province where Jiankang Jiangdu was located was called Nanzhili.

It is directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and there is no provincial-level Sansi Yamen.

However, after Sejong went south, Jiankang, the city where the emperor Taizu of the Great Chen was located, later became the capital of the Great Chen, and became the capital again.

Moreover, the part of Nanzhili north of the Huaihe River was completely lost, and no one mentioned the name Nanzhili.

Now, after a lapse of nearly 70 years, the three words Nanzhili once again ring in the ears of Emperor Chen!

Even Emperor Hongde, who had been on the throne for more than 13 years, felt his body numb when he heard the word Nanzhili. He immediately stepped forward and helped Shen Yi up, Longyan was delighted.

"Nanzhili, Nanzhili..."

The emperor laughed and said, "What a Nanzhili!"

"It wasn't Shen Qing who mentioned it, I almost forgot these three words!"

He looked back at Shen Heng, who was behind Zhongshushe, and said with a smile: "Little Shen Aiqing, after you go back, draw up a notice and announce it to the world, telling the world that I, Da Chen, have recovered Nanzhili."

Shen Heng is currently a Zhongshu Sheren of the Zhongshu Department. Drafting documents is one of his responsibilities, especially for this type of announcement. Things that have been determined do not need to be reconsidered by Zhongshu, just write them out.

Shen Heng lowered his head slightly, with a respectful expression: "My minister obeys."

The emperor waved to him, and said with a smile: "Don't be so cautious, your brother is back, why don't you come to see him?"

Shen Heng looked up at Shen Yi, took a deep breath, stepped forward silently, bowed to Shen Yi, almost tearful: "Brother has lost a lot of weight."

Although Master Shen didn't go to the battlefield in person, he was exhausted after a year of travelling, so naturally he wouldn't feel better, especially when he first entered Xuzhou, he was worried almost every day, and he only had a little peace of mind in the past two months. Won't be good where to go.

Now that the two brothers are standing together, Shen Yi is obviously much darker than Shen Heng, and his whole skin has almost turned into the color of wheat.

The two brothers grew up together since childhood, especially after his father left Jiangdu, Shen Heng was almost brought up by Shen Yi, seeing his brother working hard, he naturally felt uncomfortable.

Shen Yi stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a smile, "I'm not in the way."

"When will the baby girl be born?"

Shen Heng was [-]% married at the beginning of the year. Two months after getting married, Chen Youniang became pregnant, and now she is about to give birth.

The Shen family is about to bloom again.

Shen Heng lowered his head and said, "It's just this month."

The two brothers had a conversation, and the emperor on the side said with a smile: "Okay, okay, there is no need to say more outside the city. I have a banquet in the palace. Today, the Shen family will go up and down together to celebrate Shen Aiqing's achievements."

Only then did Shen Yi look at the back of the emperor's chariot. His father, Shen Zhang, his father-in-law, Mrs. Lu, and his wife, Lu Ruoxi, led Shen Yuan, who was wearing a sixth-rank official uniform, and stood on the right side of the officials to welcome him back.

Master Shen bowed to the emperor and said: "My contribution is shallow. The Huai'an army can achieve today's achievements, all of which are holy and heroic. The soldiers work hard. Now the soldiers of the Huai'an army are still on the front line of Xuzhou. I dare not claim credit, let alone celebrate."

"Your Majesty went out of the city to meet him personally, and the subject is already panicked."

The emperor tugged on his sleeve, laughed and said: "I will certainly remember the achievements of the Huai'an army, and Shen Qing's achievements are unprecedented since Nandu, and I will never forget them."

As he said that, he was about to pull Shen Yi onto his dragon chariot. Master Shen was terrified and refused to sit on it. In the end, the emperor gave up and asked someone to prepare another chariot with the specifications of a prince to take Shen Yi's family into the palace.

After the emperor got on the chariot, he looked back at Shen Yi's family behind him, and waved to little Shen Yuan: "Come, come, my Cheng Zhilang, come and share the chariot with me."

Shen Yuan first looked up at his mother, then at his father who was already holding his hand, feeling a little scared.

He is already six years old this year, and he already knows a little bit about what kind of existence the emperor is in this world.

Lu Ruoxi was also looking at her husband.

After Shen Yi thought for a while, he patted Shen Yuan's small shoulder and said softly, "Go."

"Remember to be polite."

Shen Yuan nodded, then jumped off the carriage, trotted all the way to the emperor, and knelt down straight with a bang.

"Cheng Zhilang Shen Yuan, pay homage to Your Majesty."

Seeing this, the emperor liked it very much, got off the chariot, hugged the child in his arms, got on the dragon chariot again, stretched out his hand to touch his head, and said with a smile: "In the future, when there are many people, call your Majesty." , when there are few people, call him Uncle, understand?"

Shen Yuan naturally didn't dare to be disobedient, and nodded quickly: "Understood."

The emperor smiled and said, "Is your sister okay? Why didn't you come here today?"

Shen Yuan replied honestly: "My younger sister is a bit mischievous. Mother was afraid that she would cry, so she didn't take her out and let Aunt Lian watch her at home."

The emperor was still smiling and amiable: "When you enter the palace next time, bring your sister to the palace too. Uncle likes children."

Shen Yuan quickly lowered his head.

"Nephew obeys..."

Seeing her son talking and laughing with the emperor, Lu Ruoxi also breathed a sigh of relief, took her husband's hand, and said softly: "Your Majesty seems to like Yuan'er very much."

Master Shen said softly: "I don't like Yuan'er, but like our son."

Lu Ruoxi was thoughtful, and seemed to understand what her husband meant.

Shen Yi turned around, spoke a few words with Shen Zhang, and asked about the old man's recent situation.

This year, the old man spent most of the time in his hometown in Jiangdu, accompanying his eldest brother Shen Hui. It was only when the Chinese New Year was approaching and his daughter-in-law was about to give birth that he returned to Jiankang.

After saying a few words, Shen Zhang sighed, with a bleak look on his face: "Your uncle, I guess you won't last long."

"The doctor in Jiangdu said that it will take a year and a half at most..."

Shen Yi was thoughtful when he heard the words.

After thinking about it, Shen Yi did not express his opinion, but looked at Lu Anshi, who was riding with their family, and lowered his head with a smile: "Men, have you made up your mind? Is it Ren Guozi offering wine, or coming to Jiankang to run a school."

"Yuan'er will almost be able to start school next year. If you come to Jiankang to run a school, we don't need to look for a private school teacher."

Master Lu heard that his son-in-law was joking with him, he stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "I'm very old, I don't really want to be an official, and my temper is easy to offend the superior, so it's better not to be an official .”

"However, while I can still move now, I really want to set up a Ganquan Academy in Jiankang."

The old man looked at Shen Yuan sitting on the dragon chariot, and said softly: "This child was born into a noble family. Ziheng, you have made such great achievements and won the title. He will be even more precious in the future. If you don't treat him well Teach him, maybe something will go wrong."

"After the beginning of spring, the old man will run a school in Jiankang. When the time comes, let Yuan'er follow me, and I will enlighten him."

Master Lu is a respectable Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is impossible for anyone to worship him, let alone a boy of enlightenment.

As his grandfather, it would be the best thing to be able to enlighten Shen Yuan himself.

When the couple heard this, they were overjoyed.

While the family was talking, the chariot had already entered the imperial city and stopped at the gate of Jixian Hall.

Today, the emperor held a banquet in this Jixian Hall to celebrate Jiang Dubo Shen Yi's achievements.

By the time the emperor, Shen Yi's family and all the civil and military officials arrived, the banquet was almost ready. However, it is worth mentioning that Lu Ruoxi did not sit with all the officials. Together with Shen Yuan, she was invited by the empress to have dinner in the Queen's Palace .

After entering the Jixian Hall, the emperor sat on the main seat, and Shen Yi was arranged in the third seat from the emperor's right.

Da Chen respects the left, that is to say, Shen Yi is now sitting in the sixth position in the imperial court.

In front of him are the five prime ministers of Zhongshu.

This ranking is obviously unreasonable.

Because of Shen Yi, he was ranked in front of Da Jiuqing.

Now, although he is a royal family member and has been conferred the title of Jiang Dubo, he is still a third-rank official in the final analysis, and it is obviously unreasonable to be ranked ahead of the second-rank officials.

Master Shen stood up and declined, but the emperor insisted on placing him in this position. Shen Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit down.

After everyone was seated according to their order, the emperor blushed and said.

"Everyone, I am very happy to be able to recover Nanzhili this time."

"I want to pardon the world."

"Exemption from taxes in the states north of the Huaihe River for three years."

"Next year, Cai Enke will be a scholar."

"What do you think?"

Prime Minister Cui Yu stood up, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that for such a major event, besides enke, it is appropriate to set up an altar to worship the heavens and a temple to worship the ancestors, so as to comfort the spirits of the past emperors..."

Hearing his words, everyone's faces turned strange.

Because Cui Yu is a person who often has trouble with Shen Yi.

Now this proposal is obviously making Shen Yi feel embarrassed.

Among the crowd, only Shen Yi frowned slightly.

Because of the prefectures of Xuzhou, there will be a big battle to be fought next year.

In case the war does not go well next year, offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors this year will make His Majesty the emperor lose face.

At that time, he will also be implicated.

The higher you hold, the harder you fall.

The emperor clapped his hands and smiled.

"What Cui Xiang said is very close to my heart."

"Qin Tianjian is considered an auspicious day."

"I want to offer sacrifices to heaven and ancestors."

He looked at Shen Yi, smiled and said: "When Shen Qing takes back Mount Tai, I will go to Mount Tai, enshrine Zen and worship the heavens, and pray to the gods of heaven and earth."

All civil and military officials, including Shen Yi, all bowed their heads.

"Your Majesty Shengming..."
