Chapter 298: The Guards Follow

After this article was written, he looked at Qi Ao, "Let's write the top three in this autumn test first, and the rest needs to be discussed." ”

"That's - Wen Lingyun, the squire of the military department."

Shu Yuanfeng put pen to paper againβ€”β€”

"Wen Lingyun's Squire of the Army"

"Zhu Lin's Household Servant"

After these people finished writing, Shu Yuanfeng said again: "Do you still remember the fundraising of the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Conference?" ”

Qi Ao frowned and said, "Are you talking about Fang Shu?" ”

Shu Yuanfeng nodded, "It's him." The prince patronized Xue Yizhi that day, although this Fang Shu was far worse than him, but his mind was still flexible after all. ”

It is true that there are not a few people who are amazing and brilliant that night, but once they are compared with Xue Yizhi, they will be eclipsed in an instant.

"Then what does Your Majesty think this person should arrange?"

Emperor Jiayi couldn't think of a suitable position for a while, and these two people were right, he patronized and chatted with Xue Yizhi that night, and he didn't know what was so good about this Fang Shu at all.

After informing Shen Huaijin about the second assistant of the cabinet and the arrangement of official positions, Emperor Jiayi asked, "What does Huaijin think?" ”

Shen Huaijin frowned slightly, "I didn't pass the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I don't know the root of this talented man with the surname Fang, so the emperor might as well arrange him to the Criminal Department for the time being." ”

"You want to plant a nail in the criminal department as well?" Emperor Jiayi hesitated slightly, "But how can you make sure that this person can be trusted?" ”

"Let Xue Yizhi stare at him." Shen Huaijin's eyes rolled, "In addition, Shen Huaijin has to ask the emperor for a matter, and I hope the emperor will approve it." ”

"Say it."

"Shen Huaijin wants to lead people to Yingzhou to check on the plague." He hesitated a little and said, "The plague is not simple. ”

"Huai Jin actually received the news here?" Emperor Jiayi's eyes, which had originally fallen on the book, lifted up and glanced at him.

Shen Huaijin touched his head and said with a little embarrassment: "When the emperor talked about this with his ministers before, I was a little suspicious, so I sent someone to check it out, and sure enough, I found some clues. But it is still necessary to investigate carefully to be able to find the problem. ”

"That's right." Emperor Jiayi nodded tiredly, "Do you need some guards to follow you?" ”

"No need." Shen Huaijin thought for a while, "But it would be nice if the emperor could replace the things in the warehouse in the backyard of the prince's mansion with medicinal herbs." ”

Shen Huaijin felt that Yingzhou must be very short of medicinal materials at the moment, if he could search for medicinal materials as much as possible in other places-

At this point, he took out a piece of paper from his bosom, "These are the herbs." ”

Emperor Jiayi glanced at it and folded the paper, "I will order someone to collect these herbs in Qingyue's territory, and then I will order someone to send them to you." ”

"Thank you to the emperor, Shen Huaijin will definitely handle the affairs of Yingzhou properly."

Shen Huaijin was about to leave, but saw the corner of a robe floating into the house.

The person who came turned out to be Sima Heng, the fourth prince.

At this moment, he returned to his usual gentleness and elegance, and bowed to Emperor Jiayi and Shen Huaijin.

Shen Huaijin knew that he would inevitably make a stumbling block for himself when he came at this time, so he waited for his next performance.

"The prince drank a lot of wine at the banquet today, why don't you go back and rest earlier."

Shen Huaijin smiled slightly, "Don't worry, you know the amount of alcohol you have, I also approved a lot of folds for the emperor just now, and the whole person is very sober."

I don't know if the four princes came to find the emperor at this time, but what difficulties did they encounter? If you don't talk to the minister, the minister can share your worries for you. ”

This tense atmosphere made Emperor Jiayi a little crying and laughing, he put down the fold in his hand, and said tiredly: "What is the matter with Heng'er coming?" ”

"Heng'er heard about the plague in Yingzhou, and asked the emperor to allow Heng'er to go to Yingzhou to deal with the matter."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Huaijin was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Emperor Jiayi, who looked a little surprised, "How could the fourth prince want to go to such a dangerous place?" ”

Sima Heng said: "It is precisely because Heng'er has been in the palace for so long and has never left that she wants to see what the outside world is like." ”

In fact, he left this time to temporarily avoid the coercion of his mother, the Queen Zhao.

Especially tonight, after meeting Mo Niang, his heart yearning for freedom became more and more impatient.

Emperor Jiayi's expression was a little complicated, "Before you came, Prince Gong had already asked me for this errand. ”

Sima Heng frowned when he heard this, "The matter of going back to Youzhou last time was also solved by Prince Gong, so it's hard to come back and rest in the palace for a while?" ”

Shen Huaijin laughed, "Fourth prince, you know that the minister is really not a person who likes to be idle. You have never been exposed to such a complex case before, so it is better not to take risks. ”

Sima Heng knew that his uncle Prince Gong was indeed better than him, so he made a detour, "Your Majesty, why don't you let the civil and military officials propose whether it should be me or Prince Gong when you go to the court tomorrow?" ”

At present, more than half of the imperial court is composed of the four princes and one party, so he is very confident that he can take on this errand.

Besides, this is the first time he has taken the initiative to ask Ying to do something, and the queen mother must have agreed.

Shen Huaijin didn't expect him to make such a request, but his words really didn't have half a point to refute, so he could only respond: "Just according to the meaning of the fourth prince." ”

When they went to court on the second day, everyone was quite surprised that several princes were present.

Everyone was puzzled by what was going on, and while they were all whispering and discussing, Emperor Jiayi slowly walked out from behind the bead curtain and sat on the dragon chair.

He spoke up: "There is a problem today, and I hope that Zhong Aiqing will solve it for me." Prince Gong and the four princes have asked me for an errand to go to Yingzhou to solve the plague, according to your wishes, who should I send? ”

But I saw a person come out, this person is the first assistant of the cabinet Shu Yuanfeng, he has always admired Prince Gong very much, I heard that Prince Gong personally invited him to Yingzhou, and knew that he had something to arrange.

He said: "The matter of Yingzhou can be big or small, if it is not handled properly, there will be endless troubles." The Four Princes have no experience in dealing with disasters, so how can they go? Is this state affair child's play? ”

Qi Ao saw Shu Yuanfeng stand up, and also stood up and said: "According to the minister's opinion, Prince Gong handled the affairs of Youzhou properly before, and he must be able to handle the affairs of Yingzhou perfectly. ”

Emperor Jiayi nodded, and then looked at the group below: "Do you Aiqing have any other ideas?" Speak it all out and listen to me. ”

At this time, a thief-eyed man walked out, and Shen Huaijin looked at it, it was actually the book of the Criminal Department, and he couldn't help frowning. The Shangshu of the Criminal Department has always had a close relationship with the Zhao family, so it is naturally impossible to speak for him.

Sure enough, the man bowed and said, "According to the minister's opinion, the reason why the four princes are inexperienced is precisely because they have not experienced it personally. ”
