The Qin Cha named Shi Wei hurriedly smiled and said, "Your Highness Yi, where are you talking about this?" When I heard that you came to Jiangnan to be a sesame official, I couldn't believe my own ears! But then I thought about it, relying on the emperor's wisdom and martial arts, it was just to let His Royal Highness Yi go down to feel the suffering of the people, and sharpen his mind by the way, and he will have a heavy responsibility in the future. In the final analysis, His Royal Highness is His Royal Highness Yi, and he is half of my master, and it should be me who kneels down to His Highness to say goodbye! ”

As he spoke, Shi Wei bent his knees, and "poof" knelt down for Qiu Yizhi, and kowtowed two heads.

Qiu Yizhi listened to Shi Wei's words very well, and a few heads were also very useful, and suddenly thought that he was the identity of the imperial history after all, so he quickly helped him up and said, "What are you polite to me?" We sat down and talked. ”

However, it was said that this Shi Wei was a junior officer in the old Youyan Army, who was responsible for the affairs of the "warm tent". The so-called "warm tent" is just a nickname for camp prostitutes, which is specially designed for the officers and men in the army to solve their physiological needs, and by the way, to prevent tens of thousands of young men from attacking the place.

Therefore, although the affairs of warming the account are important, he is quite inferior in the army, and Shi Wei, who is in charge of this matter, is often looked down upon by other officers, and he is often called "Turtle Gong", "Big Teapot", "Runaway" and other nicknames. However, having said that, everyone can't make a living without this warm tent, and often has to rely on his relationship to be a good girl.

Therefore, this Shi Wei is quiet, but his popularity in the army is very good, and he is very good at doing things and talking, so whenever he goes to the north and south, he is always indispensable to do things in the army, and even before the rebellion, Zheng Rong entered Beijing and took this person with him, thus accumulating a lot of credit.

The so-called one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. King Youyan successfully rebelled and became the emperor, and the old Youyan Dao soldiers also had their own promotions, although Zheng Rong did not want to deal with this "turtle prince" who was in charge of dirty affairs, but he did not forget him - seeing that he could speak well and was clever, he let him take charge of the errand of spreading orders everywhere.

Don't think that the herald is just an errand messenger, and the errand depends on who he runs the errand for, and the word also depends on whose words he preaches. This Shi Wei is preaching the holy decree, that is, the representative of the emperor, which of the state and provincial officials dares to slack off, so although Shi Wei's work of spreading the decree everywhere is not obvious and does not leak, it is a good errand that is both comfortable and trouble-free, and rich in oil and water.

Shi Wei got this benefit, but he did not live up to the emperor's good intentions, every time he received the decree affairs, whether it was praise or punishment, he could always do it seamlessly, thoughtful and polite, so he saw Qiu Yizhi come to the main hall, and without being reminded by others, he gave up the main seat in the hall, and asked the emperor to sit down under his knees, "His Royal Highness Yi", and waited for him to speak with a smile.

Qiu Yizhi saw that everyone didn't speak, so he laughed dryly twice, and said to Shi Wei: "General Shi is also an old acquaintance, since he has come to Jinling...... It's a pity that General Shi also knows that I am a poor bastard, and the friendship of this landlord still has to be counted on Liu Jiedu! ”

Liu Qing listened to Qiu Yi's words, which seemed to mean that he wanted to treat himself to dinner and recreation, thinking that although he and Shi Wei were also old comrades, but on weekdays, this meal was a good opportunity to make friends with the officials.

So Liu Qing already had an idea in his mind, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Yi's proposal is very good. I am not afraid that the last general will not listen to what he says, and refute the face of Mr. Lin and General Zhao, here His Royal Highness Yi, Shi Qincha and the last general are from Lao Youyandao. I was not invited to this meal, so how about the three of us talk about the past in the army together? ”

Qiu Yizhi grinned and said, "I didn't expect Liu Jiedu to be so poor, and he couldn't even afford to invite two more people to eat?" ”

Liu Qing's acceptance of bribes from Jinling businessmen had just been exposed by Qiu Yizhi, and he was stunned by Qiu Yizhi's implied three-point ridicule, and he couldn't say half a sentence.

Qiu Yizhi saw his unyielding appearance, and felt funny in his heart, but said: "Okay, I think Liu Jiedu is stingy, but this proposal is not bad." The three of us have a drink together tonight, and that's a good thing! After that, he laughed a few times.

He added: "But since General Shi has a holy body, I think it's important to do serious things." It's better for General Shi to pass on the holy decree first! With that, Qiu Yizhi stood up, respectfully tidied up his clothes, patted the dirt off his clothes, walked to the middle of the lobby, and looked at Shi Wei solemnly.

This Shi Wei really deserves to be a person who can do things, he stood up with a smile and said, "Your Highness Yi, what's wrong?" With your identity, even if you talk in front of the emperor, it is very casual, and you can't set up an incense case, three kowtows and nine bows to receive the holy decree, these are just tricks to fool outsiders. Besides, our current saint is not the kind of ordinary and mediocre emperor who only pays attention to hypocrisy, and we are all wearing civilian clothes, and it is rude to pay attention to it. I don't think it's an outsider here, His Highness Yi has invited the holy decree to go, and it's okay to read it respectfully. ”

As he spoke, Shi Wei respectfully took out a roll of yellow silk from a yellow-framed box beside him, and carefully held it in front of Qiu Yizhi with both hands.

Qiu Yizhi didn't dare to slack off, took the holy decree with both hands and slowly walked out of the hall, bowed in the direction of Luoyang, and then began to read the holy decree.

However, this holy decree was indeed passed on to Qian Feng, Liu Qing and other Jiangnan Provincial civil and military officials, and the content was just a comment on Jiangnan's fight against the Japanese invaders.

So Qiu Yizhi carefully rolled up the holy decree and handed it to Liu Qing, but he still said: "The emperor's will, I have already seen it." I wonder if there is anything else the Holy One has to say to me? ”

Shi Wei grinned and said: "It is said that His Royal Highness Yi is smart, no wonder the emperor liked His Highness Yi when he was in Guangyang." Indeed, the emperor has a trust that I sent to Jinling, and I want to hand it over to His Royal Highness. With that, Shi Wei took out a sealed letter from his close-fitting pocket, and handed it to Qiu Yi with both hands.

Qiu Yizhi took the letter and was about to open it, but he heard Shi Wei say: "Your Highness Yi, this is what the emperor showed you alone, I'm afraid it is the secret decree in the rumors, right?" It seems a little inappropriate to take it apart in front of so many of us! A few of us are clumsy, and our mouths are not solid, if the rumors go out, I'm afraid it will be harmful and useless, right? As he spoke, Shi Wei's eyes suddenly showed a fierce light, and then he changed back to Fang Cai's flattering expression.

Qiu Yizhi was startled by Shi Wei's fleeting sharp gaze, and immediately hid the letter in his pocket in his arms, barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and said: "General Shi is still more experienced in passing on the decree, and I also received the emperor's secret decree for the first time, and I was a little apprehensive in my heart, so I forgot the word confidential!" ”

In fact, Qiu Yizhi received a lot of secret orders, and he never shy away from dismantling in front of Lin Shuhan and Zhao Chengxiao, and he was already sloppy when he said this.

Lin Shuhan and Zhao Chengxiao, one is a very smart person, and the other is not a stupid person, although they did not echo Qiu Yizhi's words, they also smiled, as if they were laughing at Qiu Yizhi's unconfidential affairs.

But I heard Shi Wei say: "This is not to blame His Highness Yi. There are so many small missions, and the errand of the secret message is also the first time I have encountered it. I don't know what the rules should be here, anyway, just leave it to His Royal Highness Yi, in case the emperor asks in the future, His Royal Highness will have to give me a round. ”

Qiu Yizhi knew that Shi Wei's words were half-true, so he didn't continue to say it, but asked: "General Shi is the person who can often see the emperor and Prime Minister Zhongli. I wonder how these two have been doing lately? ”

Shi Wei heard Qiu Yizhi ask about these two nobles, and immediately changed his look of respect, and said: "Prime Minister Zhongli is in charge of everything, either doing things or approving documents, not meeting people or facing saints, I rarely see them for a while." However, his old man can still do things like this, which shows that his body is very tough, and His Highness Yi does not need to worry. ”

Qiu Yizhi listened to Shi Wei's words, and the scene of Zhong Li Kuang's tense and thin face suddenly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but smile at the scene of the person he was frightening half to death.

"But the emperor......" Shi Wei said again, "I'm not afraid that His Highness Yi will blame me for being open-mouthed." The emperor was born as a prince who marched and fought, and his body was originally extremely healthy. But every time the little one meets the emperor, the emperor always says that he is very tired, and he always thinks about the day when he drives the emperor again, but he is afraid that his body will not be able to bear it, and there will be no such days......" As he spoke, Shi Wei let out a long sigh.

Qiu Yizhi was very sad when he heard it, and suddenly remembered that when he left Beijing, Zhong Likuang had said to himself that it was Emperor Zheng Rong's rebellion before and after the battle to hurt his lungs, and I am afraid that his body will decline in the future, and he will no longer be the wise and martial he was in the past.

However, Qiu Yi's chest contained a thousand words, but he only sighed in his mouth: "Everyone wants to be an emperor, but who knows the hardships of being an emperor?" ”

But as soon as he spoke, he knew that he was wrong - Zheng Rong originally did not have the blessing of being an emperor, but he borrowed the name of "rebellion", wasted the boss's kung fu, and caused several uproars in the north, so he became the emperor - isn't he just mocking the emperor Zheng Rong for asking for hardship?

Therefore, Qiu Yizhi hurriedly said: "When General Shi returns to Beijing, he must say a word to the saint for me, ask his old man to pay attention to thrift, and wish him a long life......

When Shi Wei heard this eulogy, he immediately stood up, got up very respectfully to listen to Qiu Yizhi, and arched his hand and said, "The little one has been written down." ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded, and didn't know what to say next, so he had to stand silently in the eyes of everyone, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward for a while.

After a long while, Qiu Yizhi remembered a topic, and asked Shi Wei again: "My brothers, I don't know how the situation is going?" ”

Shi Wei hurriedly answered: "Okay, good, all right." It's busy! This one...... Recently, the plague epidemic in Shaanxi and Gansu has not been eliminated for a long time, and the emperor is anxious, so he sent His Royal Highness to Shaanxi and Gansu to deal with it in person. The plague is probably also known to you, the hotter other epidemics are, the more rampant they are, but the colder the plague is, the more severe it is. It's autumn now, don't look at the fact that it's still very hot in the south of the Yangtze River, and it has snowed in some places in Shaanxi and Gansu. Seeing that the plague has just stopped a little, and it is about to enter winter, His Highness does not dare to come back in advance, and he is still sitting in Shaanxi and Gansu! ”

Shi Wei's words involved confidential matters in the center of the imperial court, which made everyone present pricked up their ears and listened very carefully and attentively.

Seeing this, Shi Wei looked at everyone's focused expressions, and he was proud in his heart, so he continued: "And the north is not very peaceful. It is said that the Turkic Visimi borrowed troops from the west, unified the Turkic tribes, and began to harass the north. You must know that the two generals, Cui Nan and Wei Hu, are in the south, and the emperor has no one at hand, so he sent His Royal Highness to personally lead the army in Guangyang to prevent the Turks from going south. ”
