Chapter 1449: See you!

Chapter 1449: See you!

Governor Song left the governor's office in a daze.

After he left, Li Jun, the head of Shen Yi's staff, came out quietly, came to Shen Yi's side, sorted out the documents on the table, and said as he sorted them out: "This Governor Song is really stupid. As soon as you left, he wanted to be the boss in Northern Zhili."

Shen Yi lowered his head to drink tea and said, "He is not too stupid, he is too smart."

"Very ambitious."

Song Ying has been very honest during the past four or five years in Yanjing.

In other words, when Shen Yi was in Yanjing, he was very honest.

As the governor of a province, if he was not in a special place like Northern Zhili, he would be the absolute boss in the local area. With his power and status, it would be easy for him to take in several concubines.

However, because Shen Yi was watching nearby and his father-in-law was the prime minister further away, Song Ying did not dare to take a concubine even though he had been holding back in Jiankang for many years when he arrived in the local area.

He only dared to secretly keep a few women given to him by others, and he thought no one knew.

But these are minor issues.

This man, who came from a poor family and was one of the top ten in the imperial examination, had to work under the supervision of his father-in-law all year round after passing the imperial examination. He had no chance to enjoy himself, so when he became a governor, he wanted to enjoy himself. Shen Yi could understand that.

He also pretended not to see it.

This time, Shen Yi couldn't bear it, not because Song Ying was greedy for money and lustful, but because Governor Song...

Too ambitious.

As soon as Shen Yi left Yanjing, his government policies began to stagnate. The reason for this was not because Song Ying was too stupid, but because he was too smart.

Not only is he smart, he's also very courageous!

Song Ying was certain that Shen Yi returned to Jiankang this time in order to move the capital. He even doubted in his heart whether Shen Yi would have the chance to return to Yanjing after going south this time!

However, no matter what the outcome, the court's return to Yanjing is an inevitable result.

Before the imperial court returned to Yanjing, there were two things it had to do. The first was to take back the military power of Northern Zhili, and the second was to take back the political power of Northern Zhili.

He thought he had figured out Emperor Hongde and the pulse of the imperial court!

He was sure that the Emperor would find ways to take back the power of Northern Zhili, and as a "loyal minister", he started to do this after Shen Yi left Yanjing. He wanted to...

The Governor's Office is abolished!

In this way, the political power of Northern Zhili would be in his hands. When the imperial court moved north, he, as the official governor of Northern Zhili, would be a loyal minister to the imperial court. Even if he would not receive any rewards openly, he would definitely be appreciated by Emperor Hongde.

such!

After completing this term as governor, he will have the opportunity to return to the court, and even have the opportunity to enter the central government directly!

The reason why he was so bold was, in the final analysis, because the cost of offending Shen Yi was too small.

He knew very well that Shen Yi was a sentimental person. Based on the relationship between his father-in-law and Shen Yi over the years, Shen Yi would not do anything to him no matter what.

The Huai'an army's knife could not reach his head.

Therefore, he dared to be so fearless.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi said in a muffled voice: "The Governor is not in Yanjing, so it is reasonable for him as the Governor to be in charge. This matter is impeccable on the surface. Besides, I have a good relationship with the Zhao family, so it is impossible for him to do anything secretly in the north. That's why he dares to be so unscrupulous."

Mr. Shen put down his teacup and said silently, "If we hadn't had so much leverage over him in the past few years, it would have been difficult for me to chase him away."

Song Ying is a man with a cunning mind.

For example, if Shen Yi only had evidence of his corruption but no evidence of his keeping a mistress, it would not be easy to drive him away, because the corruption alone might be justifiable in the court, but it would be difficult to justify it in front of Master Zhao.

It is inevitable that the old man will think that Shen Yi is making a fuss out of nothing.

Fortunately, Shen Yi has been keeping an eye on this man for several years and has all the evidence he needs.

If you want to chase him away, it's just a matter of words.

If he didn't want to leave, Shen Yi could simply ruin his future.

Li Jun seemed to understand something. He folded the document and put it aside: "The minister meant that he wanted to curry favor with the court..."

Mr. Shen did not respond, but said: "After he leaves office, I will temporarily take over the governor's job. As for the affairs of the governor's office."

He looked at Li Jun and said, "You will take care of it."

Li Jun smiled bitterly and nodded: "Student obeys your command."

Mr. Shen thought for a while and continued, "Write down all the northern officials who have contact with Song Ying. Maybe I have been too good-tempered in recent years. They forgot about the governor's office, the governor-general's office, and me, the right imperial envoy."

"I will impeach them all in my name, every single one of them. Don't even think about running away."

Li Jun bowed his head respectfully: "Student understands."

"Also, food and supplies..."

Shen Yi urged: "Get everything ready within a month. After a month, I will leave for Shanhaiguan."

Originally, if there was no war in the north, Shen Yi would not be in a hurry to deal with people like Song Ying, or he would be relatively gentle. But now, the war in the north is imminent, and Shen Yi will be away from Yanjing for a long time, so the hidden dangers must be dealt with.

To prevent any problems from occurring in the backyard when Mr. Shen is out.

Li Jun nodded in agreement.

After arranging the general matters, Mr. Shen stood up, stretched, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Li has been with me for more than ten years. Do you want to become an official? If so, I will definitely arrange a good future for you."

"With your current ability, sir."

Shen Yi smiled and said, "There won't be any problems if you are in charge of a region."

Li Jun lowered his head and said, "I am already satisfied to be able to follow the minister and learn some skills from him. As for other places, I don't want to think about it."

Shen Yi turned his head to look at Li Jun, reached out and patted Li Jun's shoulder, and smiled: "Sir, are you worried that I won't let you go after doing so many things with me?"

Li Jun quickly shook his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I dare not. Over the past ten years, the department has treated my family very well."

Shen Yi then said "hmm" and said: "Since you don't want to leave, then..."

"Just follow my family and do your best."

………………

A month later, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still inspecting the border troops in Datong, Mr. Shen got on the Shen family's carriage, bid farewell to his family and the officials from Yanjing, and headed north from Yanjing to Shanhaiguan.

At this time, Ling Su's troops already had more than 50,000 people, who had gathered near Shanhaiguan and had begun training. They could go out to suppress the bandits at any time.

At this time, Su Ding's troops had almost crossed the Korean Peninsula and reached Guseong in Goryeo.

In Turtle City, the King of Goryeo came personally to see General Su off.

At this time, the Goryeo king, who was in his early 40s, had a worried look on his face. He escorted Su Ding out of the city, but he was still not at ease. He bowed his head and saluted, saying, "General, if your teacher follows our Goryeo to attack Shengjing, he will definitely be hated by Master Zhuli. If the general fails to attack Shengjing, our Goryeo will be retaliated by Master Zhuli in the future..."

He cupped his hands and said, "General, please consider this opportunity to borrow our passage. If our country is in trouble in the future, please come to rescue us. Otherwise, the entire country of Goryeo will be devastated!"

General Su looked at the King of Goryeo in front of him, thought for a while, then said with a smile: "Your Highness, although I am the leader of the army, I do not have the power to mobilize troops. Your Highness should know better than me who is mobilizing the troops in the northern border of our Great Chen."

"This attack on Shengjing was also commanded by Lord Shen. Your Highness should go to Lord Shen to discuss your request."

The King of Goryeo said in a trembling voice: "General, if I send someone, can we see Lord Shen?"

General Su patted his chest with a sincere smile.

"See you, see you."
