Chapter 683 Big Shen and Little Shen

Chapter 683 Big Shen and Little Shen

Shen Yi opened the letter in front of Li Mu after doing some mental construction.

His gaze quickly scanned the letter, from beginning to end, without looking at the specific content of the letter, but he saw two words...

A!

Shen Yi took a closer look at the three words behind Yijia.

Yijia No.3.

This is the point of Tanhua.

Shen Yi stood there, silent for a while, and did not speak for a long time. After a long time, he re-read the contents of the letter.

This is a letter from Shen Heng, and the handwriting is very familiar.

The general content of the letter was that after the announcement of the palace examination, he was going to rush back to his hometown in Jiangdu to worship his ancestors. Apart from offering sacrifices to his ancestors, he also had to repair his mother's tomb.

After all, my mother is already a fifth-rank edict, and the grave needs to be decent.

At the end of the letter, Shen Heng told Shen Yi to take care of his health and be safe when doing things outside.

After reading the contents of the letter, Master Shen stuffed the letter back into the envelope, sat back beside Li Mu silently, and picked up the tea on the table.

His hands trembled slightly.

Li Mu smiled and asked, "It seems that the brother of the Shen family did well in the exam."

"No. 3 in the palace examination."

Shen Yi exhaled foul breath, glanced at Li Mu, and said in a sonorous and forceful voice, "Jinshi and rank!"

Only Sanding Jia can be called Jinshi Jidi.

A second-class man like Shen Yi can only be called a Jinshi.

As for the top three...the three words of Jinshi can disgust them for a lifetime.

Hearing Jinshi and the third word, even a clan like Li Mu couldn't help being slightly moved, clapping his hands and sighing: "It's amazing, it's amazing."

He looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "I'm afraid Ziheng will have to pay more in the future."

Shen Yi was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "What expenses?"

"Of course I hired someone to guard the Shen family's ancestral grave."

Li Mu said with a smile: "The Shen family has one family and two imperial schools. After this incident is reported to Jiangdu, there may be many people in your Jiangdu Prefecture who will secretly bury the dead at home next to your ancestral grave, or even bury them directly. Into your ancestral grave!"

Although Li Mu's words contained some amusing elements, they were not a joke at all.

Almost 100% of what he said will come true!

There must be someone who will try every means to bury the family members in the Shen family's ancestral grave...

Shen Yi shook his head helplessly: "They love to bury it, so let them bury it. My family still has elders in Jiangdu, so let my uncle argue with them."

"Haha."

Li Mu smiled brightly and said: "A happy event is coming, and I can't escape this meal no matter what. You must invite me to the best restaurant in Fuzhou to have a meal!"

Shen Yi nodded with a smile, and asked: "Does the prince want to see officials from Fujian? If so, you can ask Cheng Futai to come out for a meal today, and have a meal with the prince."

Li Mu rubbed his chin, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It's good to see each other, after all, we drove from Jiankang to Yueqing together, and we got along with each other for half a month on the road, so we've become acquainted, and now we're in his territory. Naturally, I want to pay my respects to the top of the mountain."

Li Mu is undoubtedly very smart.

He is very clear about his position, so he is determined not to interfere in any military affairs, and basically does not even meet with the generals under the Dusi Yamen, but there is no taboo in dealing with local civil servants.

After all, when he was in Yueqing, he hung out with officials from all over Zhejiang for more than a month.

Civil servants are incapable of rebellion...

"Well."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "I will ask Jiang Sheng to go to the Governor's Yamen, and invite this Lord Zhongcheng to come out and have a meal together. I will not be in Fujian in a few days. If there is anything for the son, it is convenient to find him."

Li Mu stretched his waist and said: "What can I ask him for? This Cheng Futai doesn't seem like he will come to curry favor with me, let alone take me to eat, drink and have fun."

He smiled at Shen Yi and said, "Ziheng, you don't know. During the period when you were not in Yueqing, I was invited by the governor of Zhejiang Province to live in Lin'an Mansion for a few days. Tsk, I really passed a few days of ecstasy."

From his tone, Shen Yi knew...

Governor Zhou in Zhejiang probably took Li Mu to the health care department.

Master Shen sighed helplessly: "Actually, Your Majesty doesn't have too many precautions towards the son. You don't have to be afraid of being like this, just do what you should do on weekdays."

"Since Hongde's seven years, at least five clans have been expelled."

Li Mu raised his eyebrows.He glanced at Shen Yi lightly.

"Does Yue Wangyu know?"

Shen Yi froze for a moment, then whispered: "I know."

Yue Wang Li Yu, the second son of the first emperor, and the younger brother of the current Emperor Hongde, was appointed by Emperor Hongde to marry the daughter of the great general Zhao Lu.

"The Yue Palace already has a son."

Having a son means that Yue King Li Yu had a son with Zhao's daughter.

"The involvement is getting deeper and deeper."

Li Mu stood up, exercising his muscles and bones, and said lightly: "You and I know in our hearts, what is your majesty's energy for the past few years to explore the southeast? Reputation will almost certainly be ruined and expelled."

"Even die."

He looked at Shen Yi, and let out a foul breath: "Dear brother."

"Our Majesty is much more ruthless than Zi Heng imagined."

"How could I not be careful?"

Having said that, Li Mu suddenly smiled.

"But it's a good thing."

"Sitting in that position, you have to be ruthless, so that you can sit firmly and get things done."

After saying this, Li Mu patted Shen Yi on the shoulder and said: "Ziheng, you can rest assured that today you are a hero who wants to do things. Since you want to do things, then you can't do without a capable minister like you, Ziheng." .”

Shen Yi remained silent.

Every human being is complex and multifaceted.

Obviously, the emperor in Shen Yi's impression is quite different from the emperor in Li Mu's impression.

However, Shen Yi also knew about Yue Wang Li Yu's matter. As far as this matter is concerned, the emperor's temperament is indeed a bit ruthless.

Shen Yi didn't answer Li Mu's words directly, but just smiled slightly: "Let's not talk about this, I will take the prince out for dinner."

"it is good."

Shizi clapped his hands and smiled.

"To celebrate Xiao Shen Tanhua Jinshi's graduation."

…………

At the beginning of this year, when Shen Yi left Jiankang, he traveled with Cheng Tingzhi and Li Mu. Since they were old acquaintances, the atmosphere of the meal was not bad. Looking at Shen Yi, he said, "Your Majesty is coming to Fuzhou, why didn't Ziheng inform you in advance? I will bring Fujian officials out of the city to meet him."

Having said that, he sighed to Li Mu: "Your official is too rude."

"It's free if you greet me."

Li Mu waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'm afraid of strangers, I don't like to see too many strangers."

He smiled at Cheng Tingzhi and said: "If Zhongcheng really feels that he has lost his manners, he might as well compensate in other places. I heard that the coastal capital's yamen is still under construction..."

"Don't worry, my son, the governor's yamen has dispatched craftsmen to build the capital's yamen. Now it has been built in sevens and eighties. It is estimated that it will be completely completed by the end of May and mid-June."

Li Mu smiled and said, "What about the cost?"

Cheng Tingzhi said without hesitation: "This lower official has already agreed with Shen Xueshi in advance that the money for the construction of the capital will come from my Fujian treasury."

Only then did Li Mu smile, raised his wine glass, toasted Cheng Tingzhi, and said, "So, I'll be the capital's yamen, and thank you Zhongcheng."

After the two drank this glass of wine, the prince of Jin raised his glass again and said with a smile: "This glass is to celebrate Xiao Shen Tanhua's success as a Jinshi."

Cheng Tingzhi raised his head and drank a glass of wine, looked at Shen Yi and said: "Sure enough, it's Sanding Jia, I congratulate Ziheng." "

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "In the future, in the court hall, I'm afraid there will be a big Shen Xianggong and a small Shen Xianggong."

Shen Yi shook his head: "The identities of the two are stronger than our brothers, so don't praise them."

Cheng Futai also shook his head slightly, and he said with a serious face: "If my two sons can be admitted to Jinshi and enter the Imperial Academy, not to mention the official in me, even if it takes my life immediately, I will be willing."

Li Mu nodded with a smile: "There are only three Dingjia in three years. If I can choose, I will not be in the clan of Laoshizi. I will become a first-class Jinshi, and I can contribute to the country."

Seeing that the two would continue to argue, Shen Yi interrupted the topic in time. He coughed and said, "Okay. Let's talk about serious business."

Master Shen looked at Cheng Tingzhi.

"Zhongcheng, the Shipbuilding Department in Langqi Town is already under construction, and it will definitely be completed in May. In June, the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Department will start trial operation. What do you think?"

Cheng Tingzhi nodded immediately: "No problem."

Shen Yi nodded again and said: "As for the Quanzhou Shipbuilding Department, we can postpone it for a few months."

Cheng Futai narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "The Shibo Department in Quanzhou will be able to operate normally in August at the latest."

After saying this, he looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Is Ziheng leaving Fujian?"

"almost."

Master Shen smiled and replied: "The errands in Fujian are going well. When the things here are finished, I will continue to go south to work in the Guangzhou Guard and the Guangzhou Shipyard."

"After Ziheng finishes his errands in Guangdong, he will definitely come back to Fuzhou again."

"otherwise…"

He sighed, "I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again in the future."
