The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

When Shen Jia entered the hall, everyone paid attention and watched him walk slowly to the front, and then listened to the emperor's order: "Give Shen Aiqing a seat."

A guard brought a back chair and placed it where Shen Jia usually stood, but the emperor pointed to the left front of the dragon chair and said, "Move it here."

"Your Majesty can't do it!" All the ministers objected in unison. This is not a joke. In the history of the Great Jin Dynasty, no one has ever been equal to the Emperor. The emperor's personal affair is tantamount to announcing it to the world.

Shen Jia herself also expressed her refusal, he didn't want to sit on a high place after the night life and let everyone pay attention, it would be awkward.

Zhao Zhang insisted on going his own way, "From now on, Shen Aiqing's position will be placed here. I don't want to be too far away from him. If you love Qings, if you think it's inappropriate, please give a reason. It is not written in the ancestor's rules that this position cannot be used. Sit people."

It's not written like that, but it's okay, the courtiers are full of slander, but they know that the emperor will go his own way and none of them can stop them, they can only wink at Shen Jia frequently.

Standing at the forefront, Shen Jia naturally couldn't receive their eyes. She exchanged a glance with Zhao Zhang, and finally lifted her hem and slowly walked up to the high platform, and sat down on the chair in front of the imperial court.

This is the first time he has come to this position. It is a very mysterious feeling. The aura of the Ninth Five-Year Venerable is spreading around, looking down at the civil and military forces of the court, which makes him feel light and light above everyone. Knowing the meaning of the life-and-death struggle for a dragon chair in history, it is hard for anyone not to be excited to sit in such a position.

In feudal society, this represents the supreme right, controlling the power of life and death of tens of millions of living beings. Regardless of the fact that the cabinet usually has high power, the emperor's decision is occasionally refuted, but when the emperor really wants to go his own way, no one Can stop him.

Zhao Zhang squinted at the expressions of the people below. The submissives lowered their heads with calm faces, and the dissatisfied even bent their waists, exuding resistance all over their bodies. He had been watching them for a long time, even if he didn't look into their eyes, he could tell who was sincere. Surrender, who is false.

"Your Majesty, the Northwest Army has sent a report a few days ago, and I want to go to the grassland to get some interest in person." The Minister of the Ministry of War tried his best to ignore the chair that popped up suddenly above him. When I reached the position where I needed to look up to, it was really a trick of the world.

"I agree, let Shi Shilang also go and check it out for me. If anyone fails to pay the interest, they will exchange their livestock. If they are reluctant to hand over the livestock, let them hand it over. According to the previous agreement, the population we Also."

Shi Yue stood up to take the order, his excitement was visible to the naked eye, he really wanted to go to the northwest, he really wanted to go galloping on the grasslands, he is now serving as a servant in the military department, if this task is completed well, maybe he can invite him to serve in the army generals.

Based on his understanding of the emperor, it is impossible not to fight in the north. After selling food this time and getting back the money and people of several tribes, he can prepare for the war with peace of mind. The Northwest Army's Northern Expedition is a foregone conclusion in the Ministry of War. .

Some people said that Mr. Shen might not agree with it at that time, and would stand up to oppose it. In the eyes of everyone in the Ministry of War, Shen Jia has already been labeled as a pro-friendly faction.

Among the six ministries, the Ministry of War has always been a staunch advocate of the war. Only the government offices like the Ministry of Hukou and the Ministry of Rites will be hesitant and unwilling to start a war with a gesture of compassion for heaven and man. Obviously, Shen Jia has been included in the Among these people.

But Shi Yue didn't think so. Shen Jia was kind-hearted, but his starting point was always based on the overall situation. Last year's war was not easy to fight. This was something everyone could see. It was possible to make the enemy retreat without a single soldier. Going back to the occupied city is considered a conspiracy, and it is no easier than going into battle to kill the enemy.

The threat from the northern border has always been there, and Shen Jia must be aware of this. If they are not completely frightened once, such things will often happen in the future.

The Secretary of the Ministry of War couldn't help but asked Shen Jia: "Master Shoufu, do you have any explanation? The person you want is also sent to Guangdong and Guangxi. You'd better give yourself some pointers on what kind of person you want, lest it doesn't meet your wishes. "

Shen Jia smiled and replied: "Just follow the previous practice. As long as they can work, they don't reject any kind of people. Speaking of which, the people they sent last time really found treasures. There are dozens of them who are good at raising horses and treating them." The craftsman of the horse, I also brought back together, let the horse inspector arrange it, it is best to arrange it to the racecourse so that they can use their strengths."

"But Mr. Shen, they are foreigners, and the racecourse is an important place. Is it inappropriate to allow foreigners to enter?" The Minister of the Ministry of War retorted.

"The official once said that their service period is only five years, and they can stay at will after five years. The people brought back by this official have been inspected. They are not very loyal, at least they will not betray the court."

"What guarantee do you have? People's hearts are unpredictable."

Shen Jia looked at him and said quietly: "If something happens, I will be responsible for it alone."

In the past, everyone would laugh at him because of this sentence, but now, they need to look up to Shen Jia, there is really nothing in this world that Shen Jia can't afford.

What's more, Guangdong and Guangxi have indeed undergone earth-shaking changes in the past few years. According to officials who have been there, not only the climate is pleasant, but also life is very convenient.

Some officials also felt that Shen Jia put too much emphasis on business, but the officials who came back said that was not the case. The land in Guangdong and Guangxi was fertile, and the climate was very suitable for growing grain. , There is also vast land overseas, and it is more convenient to transport grain back from overseas than from the north to the south.

And Shen Jia used food to solve the northern war last year, even if the main fighters said every day that his methods were too cowardly and gentle, they still couldn't deny his achievements.

A political envoy of Guangdong and Guangxi who has only been in office for three years can produce so much food to solve the war crisis. This achievement alone is enough to stand out from the crowd, so the emperor promoted him to take over the position of chief assistant. There are not many people who refute clearly.

After the court was over, Shen Jia took the crown prince to deal with official duties as usual, Xu Baiyan followed closely, explaining some government affairs to Zhao Ting from time to time.

He went to the Northwest for a trip, and his descendants were much rougher when he came back. He used to like to wear snow-white long gowns, which were beautiful in the moonlight. Now, apart from court clothes, he is dressed in plain clothes. It is said that he has just made an appointment and will get married at the end of the year.

"Master Shen, I haven't thanked you solemnly yet." Xu Baiyan said to Shen Jia in private.

"Why should I say thank you?"

"Naturally, thank you for avoiding a great battle. Countless lives have been saved. I have been in the Northwest for several years, and I have developed feelings for the local people. It is the best comfort to see them alive."

Shen Jia asked him: "Then do you think it's better to fight this war or not to fight it?"

Xu Baiyan shook his head and said: "The lower officials are ignorant, and they don't like disputes. Naturally, they hope that the world will be the best. But after contacting the barbarians in the north, they know that warlikeness is engraved in their blood. It can't be eradicated, but a war can be avoided. You can’t enjoy peace for the rest of your life.”

"You're right." Shen Jia turned around and asked Zhao Ting, "If you were to lead a war of aggression, what would you do?"

"This......"

"You don't need to answer me now, go back and think about it, write a detailed plan, or you can consult the old generals in the court. When the drums sound, the soldiers are fighting on the front line, and there are too many things to do in the rear. You figure out the relationship between them."

Zhao Ting agreed earnestly, and asked him in a low voice: "If there is another war, can Gu go to the battlefield with him? Gu Zi has elementary school martial arts, and his martial arts in riding and shooting are not bad."

How could Shen Jia dare to agree to him, "You have to ask your uncle about this kind of thing, but I think the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world will not agree." Fearing that Zhao Ting would feel unhappy, he explained: "Your status is too noble. , if you go to the front line, the soldiers will only be distracted in order to protect you, and the commander will not dare to let go in order to take care of you, you will only get in the way if you go."

Zhao Ting said unconvinced: "I can pretend to be a soldier and join the army without revealing my identity."

Before Shen Jia could speak, Xu Baiyan had already hit him: "Your Highness, then you may only be popular for three days."

Shen Jia laughed loudly, "That's true. You survived nine deaths on the battlefield. It's not because you are the crown prince that you will be favored, nor will you let you go because your martial arts are better than others. You should understand your identity. If you finish writing policy theory If you still have this kind of lonely and brave thinking in the future, it can only mean that you are not suitable for your current position."

Xu Baiyan was so frightened that he wanted to cover his mouth, even though he had a very close relationship with the emperor, it would cause trouble if others listened to such rebellious words.

Shen Jia gave him a comforting look, led them into the yamen, and sat there for a whole day, until there was a noisy sound outside, and soon someone ran in to announce: "My lords, the emperor is here, go out and greet him!" Holy driver."

A group of officials hurriedly packed their clothes and hats and strode out. Although the cabinet is the government office closest to the emperor, the emperor has always summoned them and never seen the emperor in person, so everyone was shocked.

But after being shocked, I soon thought of the reason. There is only one person in this huge cabinet who can allow the emperor to visit in person. Mr. Shen is really loved, or in other words, the relationship between these two is really good, it is them The wife at home is not so careful.

Waiting for all the officials to kneel outside the gate, the holy car stopped at the gate and there was no movement, Director Du ran over and said: "My lords, please stand up, the emperor is going on tour in micro-clothes, there is no need to greet him."

Everyone still saluted before getting up, looked at each other, and then left tremblingly. Before leaving, they saw Director Du respectfully asking Mr. Shen: "My lord, the emperor asked if you can go down to the government office?"

"Let's go." Shen Jia got on the imperial chariot under the eyes of everyone, and then the four horses moved together, and quickly disappeared outside the yamen.

Everyone broke into a cold sweat, and when they turned their heads and saw His Highness the Crown Prince standing alone at the door, like an abandoned child, they immediately felt sympathetic.

Xu Baiyan walked to his side and asked with a smile: "Why doesn't Your Highness go with you?"

Zhao Ting snorted softly, "Uncle Huang will drive me down."

"Haha, the relationship between those two is really good." Xu Baiyan's tone was filled with envy, and then he thought of something, and the arc of his mouth became wider and wider.

Zhao Ting asked him: "Isn't Xu Zhanshi also engaged? You will have a beautiful family soon, so you don't have to envy others."

Xu Baiyan shook his head, "The marriage has not been decided yet, and I don't want to get married yet."

"Huh? Why?"

Xu Baiyan said softly: "Because my mind is undecided."

"Are you undecided?" Zhao Ting remembered what happened at the corner of his mouth and laughed, "It seems that the matter of marrying a wife really has to be done by heart, and I know how to do it."

Shen Jia ate a few pieces of snacks in the car, and asked Zhao Zhang: "Why is it so high-profile? How eye-catching are these four-horse imperial chariots on the street?"

Zhao Zhang wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth for him, and said happily: "I just want to take you to show off."

The news of today's court meeting has already spread, and people in Chang'an City are discussing the matter between the new chief assistant and the emperor. Of course, it can't be all good words. Zhao Zhang's blatantly inviting Shen Jia to ride with him is also to block The mouth of the masses.

Shen Jia leaned on him and stretched her limbs comfortably, "The history books will not give you a good evaluation of such a willful emperor in the future, and you will be left with a bad name forever."

"What are you afraid of? If you want to smell bad, you will be with you. Can you still be alone?"

"Hahaha, that's fine, let's just be more presumptuous." Shen Jia ordered to the outside: "Take the main street, and go back from the north of the city." This is equivalent to going around half of Chang'an City, how many people will see it.

Zhao Zhang accompanied him to make a fuss, and the two walked around the straight main street and entered the commercial district in the north of the city amid the cheers of the common people. This is now the busiest place in Chang'an City. The site has doubled in size and many shops have been built. , businessmen from south to north gather here, and a large number of goods come in and out, just like a big commercial city.

Shen Jia lifted the curtain and looked out. She hadn't looked at it well after she came back, but she only heard about it from Du Xin and Chen Jingui. Seeing it getting better little by little, Shen Jia was very pleased.

Where the imperial driver passed by, the common people came to watch one after another, knelt on the side of the road and shouted long live three times. Shen Jia sat in the car and watched this scene. It was different from the high-spirited feeling in the early dynasty. More is a sense of responsibility, a sense of responsibility that makes people breathless.

"Jiangshan Sheji, people's homeland, sometimes I hate all of this, they imprisoned me in the imperial city, fortunately you are with me, I feel that such a day can also be expected."

Shen Jia held his hand tightly, pointed to the people outside and said, "Your Majesty, their emotions are in your hands. Do you want to see them laugh or cry?"

"I actually don't care whether they are crying or laughing, I just do my best to do what I have to do, and I want to see you smile even more."

Shen Jia smiled brightly at him, put down the curtain, and said softly, "Okay, I'll be with you, forever!"

[End of extra episode]

I saw that some readers said that the end was a bit hasty. This is how the outline of this article was set. It may be because the story of Shen Jia's going south has not unfolded, but that part of the content will be similar to "Ba Zong: The Road to Ancient Emperors", So I didn't plan to start writing it at the beginning. At the end of the story, Shen Jia stood in the position of being under one person and above ten thousand people, walking hand in hand with her lover, and walking along the lonely road with someone to accompany her. This is happiness.
