Early the next morning, in the Qianqing Palace, in the south study.

Emperor Qiande wore a bright yellow dragon robe, stared at his brows, and sat in front of the imperial case to carefully review the chapters.

There were several ministers in high-grade official uniforms standing in each of them, quietly and lowly.

In the middle of the ring, Emperor Qiande put down his imperial pen and looked up at the minister in front of him.

"Wang Aiqing, why did the envoys of the West come to offer this time?"

Wang Renli is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he presided over the reception of the Western envoys who came to pay tribute yesterday.

Wang Renli arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the head of the red-haired country has a clear purpose this time, he wants to trade with this dynasty, but there are many business and trade involved. ”

Emperor Qiande frowned slightly: "If you really want to trade, it's okay..."

Wang Renli hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, there is still one matter for the minister to ask for the Holy Judgment. ”

Emperor Qiande glanced at him and said lightly: "It's the matter of the Shi family's boy, right?" ”

Wang Renli was slightly stunned and replied: "Exactly!" ”

Emperor Qiande picked up the imperial case and flipped through it, and said casually: "You all retreat!" I have my own decision. ”

"Yes"

Wang Renli clasped his hand and withdrew.

The other cabinet ministers looked at each other and bowed.

"Zhao Zhongshun Wang, Zhongjing Hou father and son, Zhang Changlin, see you!"

Emperor Qiande suddenly issued an order, and the eunuchs who accompanied him did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly knelt down to receive the will before leaving the study.

The words are divided into two ends

Around the hour, Shi Yi got up under the service of the two little maids, washed up, and had a morning meal.

Shi Yi picked up the poems he had copied last night on the table in a comfortable mood, thinking about going to Daiyu again to chat.

After all, yesterday was a good start, and today I have to take this opportunity to get in touch with more people to warm up their feelings.

It's just that according to etiquette, even if it's a blue sky and a white day, he still can't venture into the girl's boudoir.

After all, he is not Baoyu, on the one hand, he has to make face, and on the other hand, he has to obey the rules.

Unless Daiyu secretly invited him in, but judging from the current progress, he is far from reaching such a close relationship.

It seems that I can only continue to chant poems and talk about it through the window, Shi Yi sighed slightly.

Then the thin script was rolled into a cylinder and placed in the dark sleeve.

Before putting on a velvet hat, he put on a silver velvet coat at random, and hurried out of the door.

Who said, as soon as he walked to the courtyard, he bumped into Jin Chu'er coming from under the porch, and said with a smile: "Uncle Yi, the master invites you to the study!" ”

Shi Yi's face turned dark and asked, "What is the second master looking for me?"

Jin Chu'er smiled back: "The slave doesn't know, but there is a gentleman named Jia Hua, who is meeting with the master's study!" ”

"Jia Yu Village?" Shi Yi frowned, and said, "Didn't he just come yesterday, why did he come here again today?"

I remember that Jia Yucun accompanied Daiyu to Beijing yesterday, and I couldn't wait to visit Jia Zheng that day.

It didn't take long for him to go to Jinling to take over the position of prefect, but what Shi Yi didn't expect was that this Jia Yucun was really thick-skinned, and he still relied on the mansion after finishing his work.

Jin Chu'er shook her head: "Second Master Bao was also called!" ”

Shi Yi suddenly smiled and said, "Sister Jin Chuan, you do me a favor and give this to Sister Lin." ”

With that, he handed her the piece of paper with a small poem from his purse.

Jin Chu'er's little face was slightly plench, and before she could respond, her other white and tender little hand was held by Shi Yi.

Jin Chuan's face turned red, and he suddenly remembered that his little buttocks were violated yesterday, and he was about to withdraw his hand in shame, but at this time, there were a few taels of scattered silver in the red and tender palms.

I only heard Shi Yi smile and said: "This is hard work, there is Sister Lao." ”

Jin Chuan shyly withdrew his hand, lowered his eyebrows and said, "If Uncle Yi has anything to say, just give orders, why bother... Why bother! ”

Shi Yi smiled and said, "You have to accept this, maybe you will have to trouble my sister more in the future?" ”

Jin Chuqiao's face was slightly red, she nodded, and walked away with broken steps.

Shi Yi smiled faintly, and went all the way out of the corner gate and crossed the sandwich road, and arrived in front of the Mengpo Zhai Courtyard.

"Why are you here too?"

I never thought that I would bump into the depressed Baoyu walking out of the stone threshold.

He was followed by a white-faced little man, smiling and saluting him.

Shi Yi looked at Baoyu and said with a smile: "You were scolded by the master again?" ”

The look was clearly mocking him.

Jia Baoyu pouted and said, "You will do the same later, Mingyan, let's go." ”

Watching him leave in a bad mood, Shi Yi couldn't help but sigh.

This big-faced treasure is like a little emperor in the house, angry and coaxed, accompanied by someone to sleep, someone to help in the bath, and if you want to wash your head, you can find a hole to make a mess at any time.

This treatment is really a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes, and the starting point is much higher than that of ordinary people, and you can go to the next level with a little effort.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been robbed of his family and ended up on the streets.

However, this product is afraid of his son Jia Zheng to the core.

It seems that the children of Jiafu are afraid of Lao Tzu? Could this also be a kind of inheritance!

Shi Yi shook his head with a smile, retracted his mind and walked in.

When Jia Zheng saw him, his face was not very good-looking, and he snorted coldly: "Come and give Mr. Jia a salute."

Before Shi Yi could speak, Jia Yucun next to him even stood up and said with a smile: "When my foolish nephew came yesterday, I happened to see Gongzi Yi, and it was fate to meet again today." ”

Jia Zheng shook his head: "What is the name of the son, just smile and be generous, just call him Brother Yi'er, sit down." ”

Shi Yi and Jia Yucun sat down together.

He looked at the smiling face of the villain in front of him.

I can't help but be a little surprised, I remember that I didn't give this Jia Yucun any face yesterday, but today I don't care, and I am willing to put on a smiling face.

Here, Jia Zheng looked at Shi Yi and groaned, "I heard that you neglected Mr. Jia yesterday?"

Shi Yi laughed secretly when he heard this, he has been doing it for a long time, waiting for me here?

Jia Yucun hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "Uncle Shi's words are serious, it is a foolish nephew who is reckless, and it really has nothing to do with Gongzi Yi." ”

Jia Zheng waved his hand and said: "Yucun doesn't need to defend him, he was disciplined for committing a crime last month, and his inferiority hasn't changed at all." ”

Then he said to Shi Yi: "Your father sent someone over yesterday and said that he wanted you to enter the imperial examination in the future, and asked me to teach you to read in the past few days, so as to drown your temper, Brother Yi, do you have any objections?"

Shi Yi frowned and said, "The kid has no opinion, but I don't know if the master still lets me continue to memorize those four books and five classics?"

Jia Zheng stroked his beard: "The Four Books and the Five Classics are indispensable, you first read the Analects in one go, and then talk about the rest." ”

Jia Yucun next to him also echoed: "Seeing that Gongzi Yi's intelligence is the same as that of Gongzi Bao, it only takes a little effort to enter the imperial examination - the foolish nephew thinks it is not a difficult thing." ”

Jia Baoyu, who was not present, also praised him.

"Huh!" Shi Yi couldn't help but sarcastically, "The second time we met, you old man saw it?" "Clairvoyance is not as good as you.

Jia Zheng said with a smile on his face: "Yucun said that these two stubborn people are only half a catty and eight taels, and the way of the imperial examination is not easy. ”

Jia Yucun sighed: "Uncle Shi doesn't need to worry too much, as the so-called back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the new people replace the old people."

Imagine that the foolish nephew studied for half his life, studied hard for more than 20 years, and finally entered the Shitang to grant the official seal as a guard, and asked for his life wholeheartedly, but he never thought of offending the villain and was convicted of a trumped-up crime.... If it weren't for the help of his uncle in this life, I am afraid that the foolish nephew would be born on his own..... Ay! ”

Jia Zheng sighed and persuaded: "The so-called heaven is a great task for the Si people, Yucun doesn't need to worry anymore, if I don't know that you are good at learning, even if Brother Lin Hai strongly recommends it to me, otherwise I will not be so enthusiastic."

It is not easy for you to abide by the clean way wholeheartedly, and the unjust crime has not extinguished your original intention - it can be seen that your future future is limitless. ”

Jia Yucun got up and arched his hand and said: "Thank you Uncle Shi for your praise, just this auspicious word - in the future, you will not be able to repay Uncle Shi's great kindness!" ”

After that, bend down deeply!

Jia Zheng was complacent, and said with his hands floating: "Yucun doesn't have to be like this, it is our duty to be a courtier to raise talents for the country." ”

Watching these two sing and harmonize, you come and go, chatting so well, Shi Yi just wants to laugh, but he has become an outsider.

The two talked for a while, and Jia Zhengcai said to Shi Yi: "From now on, you come to my study every day to study, and don't read the Analects - first memorize the "Book of Rites", and I will come to test you every day when I disperse, can you know the above?"

"What's wrong with the hexagram again?"

Shi Yi was stunned, then hesitated for a while before he said: "Cousin, the kid is also concerned with these four books and five classics."

I'm really not interested, if you do well, why don't you talk back to my father, don't force me to study anymore - my ambition is to make meritorious contributions right away and become a general like Li Mu and Huo Quzhi. ”

Jia Zhengyan's face changed when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "I will keep these words for myself to tell your father, and I will either leave an endorsement today, or I will not want to enter my door again in the future." ”

"This is a false seriousness, why are you so stubborn?" Shi Yi couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Jia Yucun hurriedly came out to play a round and said with a smile: "It is a blessing that Gongzi Yi has such extraordinary ambitions, but throughout the ancient and modern times, many famous generals and commanders are inseparable from the word Jingzhi.

Mr. Sun Wu, the soldier saint, is full of scriptures and has created the "Art of War" that has been circulated in Bogu, and he is invincible and invincible.

General Wu Qi, who defended the country, was well versed in the ideas of soldiers, law, and Confucianism, and never tasted defeat in his life, and his book "Wu Qi's Art of War" has attracted many later generations to participate in the benefit - this shows the importance of reading. ”

Jia Zheng twisted his beard and nodded, "Well, Yucun has a point. ”

Shi Yi couldn't help but laugh secretly: "I said it for a long time, just to verify your last sentence?"

He just didn't want to read these Four Books and Five Classics, but he didn't say that he didn't read the military books?

Shi Yi didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he smiled and said, "Listening to what Brother Yucun said, he knows something about the art of war?"

Jia Zheng was silent.

Jia Yucun smiled confidently: "A little success!" ”

Shi Yi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Then dare to ask Brother Yucun, what do you think about this now when the Mobei tribes are about to move, and the powerful party is merging?"

Jia Zheng's face was unguarded, and he was waiting to speak out.

Jia Yucun smiled lightly: "The northern captives are suffering from natural disasters, food is in short supply, and the various departments take the opportunity to kill and rob each other, which is normal and not to be worried."

They are already loose everywhere, and it is impossible for them to twist into a rope and invade our Heavenly Empire in a short period of time.

In my opinion, the imperial court should take advantage of this to use the opening of the mutual market as a bait to announce that the winner of the strongest side can trade with our Celestial Empire, so as to speed up the pace of their cannibalism.

At that time, the imperial army can take advantage of the situation to advance and annihilate the remaining remnants in one fell swoop. These words were full of spirit and passion.

Jia Zheng muster praised: "The soldiers who surrender without a fight are invincible first, and the enemy is victorious, which is wonderful." ”

Shi Yi snorted with a smile: "The art of war has words, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles."

As far as I know, the new leader of the Dzungar tribe, Galdan, is a brave and resourceful one, and he is also the most powerful one of the Mobei tribes.

The grassland has always respected the strong, if you really rely on the mutual market as bait and deceit the east, you want to easily deceive them, I am afraid it is too simple.

If it fails, it will definitely be even more resentful of the imperial court, and the disaster will become more serious - then Galdan will use this as an excuse to persuade the other tribes to gather a strong army from the south in a short time, and point the sword at the border of our Heavenly Empire, and then the first to suffer will still be the people. ”

Jia Zheng looked displeased, and snorted coldly: "But on paper, Yucun's strategy is pragmatic, if you follow you, then what?"

Shi Yi said with a smile: "It's very simple, one is to support the weak and hold the strong, balance the forces of the grasslands, and do not allow a single power to appear, whoever shows up first will fight whom!" Second....."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jia Zheng: "Nonsense! Fighting a war is not child's play. ”

Jia Yucun also retorted: "My Dashun Dynasty has frequent disasters in various places this year, such as floods in Jingchu, drought in Qilu, and locust plagues in Hanzhong, not to mention thieves and chaos.

If you gather a large army to go out to conquer at this time, it will definitely consume a lot of national strength and food, and it is good to win, but if you lose, it will threaten the foundation of the country and cause great trouble. ”

Jia Zheng frowned and reprimanded Shi Yi: "This is a far-sighted theory - leading troops to fight is not child's play, and planning is not a matter of sitting and talking.

told you to study more, but you only know how to cheat and cheat, and you don't do your job, so you will stay here and study hard later. ”

Shi Yi smiled helplessly and did not defend, after all, the Tao is different, they do not conspire with each other, and there is no common language at all.

This Jia politician said that he was strict and responsible, and he was very concerned about what others had asked him to do, but he was casual with his own son.

Shi Yi then pondered again, how to persuade this pedantic and old-fashioned person, he couldn't really read those useless scriptures here and waste time.

But he said, at this time, a mother-in-law came in outside the door to spread the word, saying that the Marquis of Zhongjing was here, and the car was driving outside the gate, so Shi Yi hurried over.

Jia Zheng was a little surprised, and when he asked again, he realized that he was summoned by the palace.

Hurriedly urged Shi Yi to go out quickly, don't delay the holy order.

Shi Yi rushed out non-stop, but his heart was turbulent.

It's normal for the emperor to summon cheap daddy Shi Ding, but why should he take him with him?

The more I thought about it, the more confused I became, and it didn't take long to walk outside the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

In front of the door, a four-cornered Qingyuan carriage was parked.

"Don't come up yet!"

There was a rush in the car, Shi Yi pursed his lips, stepped on Mazha and bent over to lift the curtain and entered the car.

As soon as he sat down, the chariot boy pulled the reins, and the carriage hurried towards the palace.

Shi Yi looked at the middle-aged man with a serious face in front of him, and asked with a smile: "Old man, why did Your Majesty even summon me?" ”

Shi Ding was wearing a nine-python four-clawed marquis suit, shook his head and muttered: "When you enter the palace, don't look around, don't talk nonsense, don't ask nonsense." ”

Don't do it three times, Shi Yi nodded straightly.
