Chapter 94 Chapter 94
The news of His Majesty's release of Xiunu soon spread to Guangzhou.
Guo Yi only had a few words in his mind, so Shen Yu heard again from other people that His Majesty's talent show disturbed the people and a group of ministers broke out. When he was not allowed to do politics, he rolled his eyes with a smile.
In order to show his loyalty, Li Tongpan approached him and said to him: "Master Shen also thinks that His Majesty understands righteousness?"
Shen Yu withdrew her smile, and nodded casually as if nothing had happened.It's strange to understand righteousness....Only these foreign officials who don't know the situation in the court will praise your majesty, and the adults in the court may be worried.If you don't stand up and don't accept your concubine, how did you come to Yuanzi?
Wu Junyi's attitude was clear at a glance, and Shen Yu didn't worry about it anymore, but was just worried about finding a reason and how to cover up for Wu Junyi.
As for Jia Shengde, what happened to Jia Shengde, Wu Junyi didn't write in the letter, let alone these people, there was only a vague sentence that "a lot of people broke out", and Shen Yu had already imagined a big drama.
He couldn't help regretting that he was not in Beijing again.Although it is also Shen Yu's long-cherished wish to be a foreign official, do practical things, and help Wu Junyi see the land and people under his rule with his own eyes, but it is normal to have regrets between choices.
Wu Junyi's letter had only a few words, but Shen Yu's reply reported in detail what he saw and felt since arriving in Guangzhou, which was more detailed and personal than what was written in the memorial.After remembering these, he did not forget to ask about the situation in the court and China, and even advised Wu Junyi not to be too stubborn and to confront the courtiers.
At the end of the letter, Shen Yu remembered Wu Junyi's saying that it was not counting to be fooled by the government, and it was rare to be naughty, so he added a sentence nonchalantly: The minister is not a woman, so can she be involved in politics?
Here Shen Yu is still thinking hard about the reasons for Wu Junyi not to get married, but unexpectedly Wu Junyi has torn off the disguise over there, and is ready to do something about it.
Two months later, along with the decree of approving Shen Yu's memorial, there was another earth-shattering news: Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty decreed that King Wu Junzuo of Wei will be seven years old next year, and Kai Meng will move to the Hall of Martial Arts to study.
It was late autumn at this time, Shen Yu didn't know what to say except helplessness, surprise, annoyance and vague sweetness.He could almost imagine what Wu Junyi was thinking: Since you insisted on urging me to be a queen, saying that the country would be uneasy without a prince, then I'll make you a prince.
The only thing he was lucky about was that Wu Junyi didn't directly order to enshrine the emperor's younger brother.
But even though there was no direct decree, the meaning was almost expressed, at least those smart people in the palace would not fail to see it.
Where is the Hall of Martial Arts?It is directly opposite to the Wenhua Palace, the hidden residence of His Majesty, and it is also the place where the cabinet ministers used to discuss their affairs.The princes in the palace are all educated in the Charity Hall, but Wei Wang was raised separately, what else could it mean?Even the original text of this decree is similar to the decree of the former emperor when the prince left the pavilion to study.
No matter how uproar the DPRK and China are, in Guangzhou, it is nothing more than a few sighs from everyone.
"Your Majesty is in his prime, how could he do something like this..." Li Tongpan clicked his tongue halfway, then stopped talking.
After making such a meaningful will, if you have Yuanzi, don't you regret it?Even if His Majesty intends to go his own way to pass on the throne to his younger brother, how embarrassing is it for His Majesty's heir after King Wei succeeds to the throne?The only explanation is that His Majesty does not intend to have any children, or... is certain that he will not, or will not be able to have children.
Most people focus on the latter possibility. After all, no one wants to believe that the emperor sitting on the world "doesn't want to", so they can only suspect that he "can't".
Shen Yu could neither prove his ability for Wu Junyi, nor could he just sit back and watch the adjutant criticize His Majesty's masculinity like this, so he could only cough lightly, interrupting everyone's gossip, "Let's discuss the matter of Shibosi."
When Shen Yu took office, he set up a very detailed charter by referring to his predecessor's habits during his tenure.Rare thing this charter is not harsh, but extremely detailed.Shen Yu himself took the lead, and strictly followed the charter and discussed matters every day, but suffered from those subordinate officials who were used to being sloppy.
Wu Junyi handed over the newly established Shibo Department to Shen Yu. To the outside world, it showed how much he trusted the magistrate who was single-handedly selected by himself. To Shen Yu, it was just that he wanted to be lazy.In short, to set up a new yamen, one has to worry about everything, and the Guangzhou yamen must be busy up and down, and for a while, there is nothing else to worry about.
Shen Yu also guessed whether this was Wu Junyi's real purpose.
The final location of the Shibo Department is located in Dongguan County, a county in the south of Guangzhou.Shen Yu took the opportunity to visit the Lu family's merchant ships: Sure enough, most of them were giants, which were a full circle larger than ordinary civilian ships.
Lu Ning also invited Shen Yu to board the boat and have a look. The pavilion on the boat has three or four floors.
This is the first time Shen Yu saw the sea.When he was young, his home was not far from the sea, but his grandfather always restrained him, and he was not allowed to go out and play wild with those peasant children.So until today, he has never seen such a magnificent and boundless sea with his own eyes.
Shen Yu recited a sentence silently: the water is so light, and the mountains and islands stand tall.
"Where is the craftsman who built your ship, can you introduce it to the Shipbuilding Department?" Shen Yu asked enviously.
The various conveniences of water transportation cannot be ignored.Shen Yu even considered using it in the army. Of course, military ships don't need to be built so big, but these craftsmen can definitely make stronger and more reliable ships.
Lu Ning was also moved.Shen Yu lived up to her previous promise and gave the Lu family a lot of sweetness.Lu Ning responded to Shen Yu's requests no matter whether it was public or private.He replied in that season: "What's so difficult about it? If those craftsmen know that they can work for the government, then they are really willing to work hard!"
According to Shen Yu, the Shibo Department should not only have court officials, but also business representatives and a large number of craftsmen.Incorporating civilian ships and organizing soldiers and merchants to go to sea for trade is only the first step. Next, the imperial court still needs to build large ships by itself.
Shen Yu sent off the fleet with her own eyes before taking them back to the state government office.
The attendant who came back from the Yao people also brought good news: he did not go empty-handed, and brought a lot of seeds, food and clothes that Shen Yu told him.Winter is coming, and the bamboo houses where the Yao people live are sheltered from the rain but not warm, so they need these.
Humans are animals that know how to reciprocate.Shen Yu expressed goodwill, but those Yao people who held great prejudice against the government and the Han people could also return kindness. In addition to the spices and musical instruments brought back by the Yao people, the attendants also had a unique gift.
"Pine resin?" Shen Yu looked at the paper bag in surprise.
"Yes." The attendant replied respectfully, "Their leader said that this is a treasure that can be ignited. According to your instructions, I just pretended to be curious and asked. They chatted for a long time, and finally when the subordinate was about to leave , just took it out."
Shen Yu used to only know that rosin can be used as medicine, has the effect of dispelling dampness and killing insects, but never understood these things.But with this, as smart as Shen Yu, after a little thought, he probably knew what the poisonous smoke ball did.
Shen Yu is not willing to hand over such secrets to others. □□ is readily available, and it is available in the state government.Shen Yu personally made the balls into balls, and added some bits and pieces of drugs inside, for the purpose of hurting people, some of them also added gravel, iron nails, etc. Wrapped in layers, and then coated with turpentine, it really becomes a magic weapon that is ready to be fried.
Shen Yu knew that this matter was of great importance. During the experiment, he dismissed the left and right sides, and took stricter precautions, so that the front yard did not get any news.He wrote down the recipe in the melody, named it Tribulus Fireball, and repeatedly asked Wu Junyi to keep it secret and not to spread it to the ears of Xianbei people.
He even had a good impression of the Yao people who knew how to repay their kindness, and ordered all localities not to embarrass them. He also took the initiative to invite Yao people to come to Han villages to exchange and learn farming, weaving and so on.
This year is destined to spend the New Year in Guangzhou.Seeing the days go by, even if he is as busy as Shen Yu, when he occasionally looks to the north, he will feel lost and lonely for a short time in his heart.Since he and Wu Junyi reunited, this was the first time they had been separated for so long.
When I get busy, I feel that the days pass quickly, and it will be a few months in a blink of an eye, but occasionally when I am free, I am surprised that there is no one around me, and it is completely different.Especially now that there are not many people around Shen Yu who can tell their thoughts: Li Tongpan has a dark heart, and the rest of the people are mediocre people.
Only when he gets along with his aunt Shen Jia's family can he feel short-term relief.
Until the twelfth lunar month, Shen Yu presided over the closing ceremony of the yamen.Guangzhou is located in the south, even in winter, there is no need to wear a cotton robe over a fur cloak like in Beijing, and it rarely snows here, without the snow-white decoration, Shen Yu always feels like something is missing.
At this time, the servant knocked on the door in surprise, "My lord, my lord, Jingzhong has sent something!"
Shen Yu reckoned that it was his family who brought New Year's gifts, so he went out to greet him, and said, "Why panic, just move in everything." Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the backyard, he realized that he had made a big mistake: The person who came was wearing the official uniform of a sixth-rank military officer, and when he saw Shen Yu, he bowed down head-on. "Your Majesty was ordered to come here and bring you His Majesty's reward!"
When Shen Yu saw the official uniform, she knew it, "My lord, please get up, I trouble you to make a trip, you have come from a long way, let's sit down and have a cup of tea first."
While the man entered the house, he took the list and checked it out. Sure enough, there were gifts from the Shen family, but more, it was the reward from the palace.
This person's rewards are also unusual, and it is clearly written on the list that they are all things with strong traditions of the New Year: six lanterns, four boxes of spring cakes, eight yuan cakes, four jars of Tusu wine... What's more, there are Paper-cut and his handwritten Yichun stickers.
It's hard for others to run so far with these odds and ends.
Holding the list, Shen Yu couldn't laugh or cry alone at the inexplicable gift, but felt the warmth brought by the familiar smell.
