When Xu Wenbi saw Shen Yicheng, it was already midnight.
For some reason, Shen Yicheng came home very late today. His family did entertain Xu Wenbi, but Xu Wenbi was so anxious that he could not sit still and almost died of anxiety.
Finally, when Shen Yicheng came home slowly to meet the guests, Xu Wenbi was so anxious that he was about to cry.
"Minister Shen, oh Minister Shen, you're finally back! I was so anxious! "
Shen Yicheng had an apologetic expression on his face, "Duke Ding, this old man is really sorry to Duke Ding. There was a sudden change in the court and I had no choice. I have been dealing with matters in the cabinet until now and haven't even had time to eat. I just came back and have to leave in another four hours, this … Aiya!"
Xu Wenbi quickly held Shen Yicheng's hand.
"Minister Shen, let's not talk about other things. Do you know that His Majesty asked Duke Ying to write a letter to apologize and ask for his suspension?"
Shen Yicheng frowned.
"Ah? There is such a thing? Why don't I know? When did this happen? "
Xu Wenbi turned pale with fright. "During the day, His Majesty asked Duke Ying to come to the palace for a talk. When Duke Ying came back, His Majesty told him that before Shen Li left her post, His Majesty had accused Duke Ying of embezzling military funds, but His Majesty suppressed it. Then, His Majesty dismissed Shen Li and saved Duke Ying's position.
But in order to avoid other problems, His Majesty asked Duke Ying to resign from his post and reflect on himself to calm everyone down. When the limelight is over, the position will be returned to Duke Ying. Minister Shen, Shen Li and Yu Jideng fell because of this matter, right? "
The Emperor really knew how to talk nonsense …
Shen Yicheng silently ridiculed in his heart.
Then, a surprised look appeared on his face.
"I have heard about Shen Li's petition, but that was before. Shen Li and Yu Jideng fell because of the title issue. In order to prevent His Majesty from conferring the title of Duke Qin on Xiao Ruxun, they encouraged the Imperial Censorate to attack the cabinet and the palace. That was why they were dismissed. How did Duke Ying get involved?
From the beginning to the end, Shen Li and Yu Jideng did not mention this matter at all. They were all talking about the title. Since when did it have anything to do with Ying Gong? That wasn't right. Could it be … "
Shen Yicheng had a look of understanding on his face. Then, he looked at Xu Wenbi with an extremely uneasy expression.
"What could it be?"
Xu Wenbi was very nervous.
"Could it be that His Majesty is clearing the way for Xiao Ruxun to lead the army in the capital?"
Xu Wenbi was stunned.
"Otherwise, there's no reason for it. It's clearly about the title. How did Ying Gong get involved? It's true that Shen Li submitted the memorial, but the most important thing in the imperial court these days is the fight for titles. That's why there's been a storm these days. I've only heard about the military expenditure of Duke Ying, but it's not important. How can it be related to Duke Ying's dismissal? "
Shen Yicheng was still guiding him patiently.
Xu Wenbi suddenly realized something.
"Minister Shen, do you mean that His Majesty is just creating conditions for Xiao Ruxun to lead the army in the capital? In order to let Xiao Ruxun lead the army, His Majesty found a reason to dismiss Duke Ying? "
Shen Yicheng stroked his beard and pondered for a while.
"Based on His Majesty's high regard and favor for Xiao Ruxun, I'm afraid that's the case."
Xu Wenbi suddenly cried out as if he was grieving the death of his parents.
"Ah!! What should we do!!! "
Shen Yicheng forcibly suppressed the disgust and disgust in his heart.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Duke Ying, can you not be like this? It's just a transfer of positions. His Majesty didn't explicitly say that Xiao Ruxun would take over this position, right? Don't be like this! "
Xu Wenbi's tears gushed out.
"Minister Shen! Don't you know that others don't? You know what the situation is like in the capital! Ah! If Xiao Ruxun takes over this position! Do we still have a way out? He's an outsider! An outsider from the Northwest! He's not one of us! If he knows about the situation in the capital, can he not tell His Majesty? If His Majesty knows, do we still have a way out?! Ah ah ah ah ah!! "
Xu Wenbi cried for a while before pouncing onto Shen Yicheng.
"Minister Shen! You can't ignore this matter! If this really happened, who would be able to escape? Most of the civil and military officials in the court can't walk away from this! Is this Xiao Ruxun more important than most of the civil and military officials in the court? "
Shen Yicheng was annoyed by this rascal's methods, but he couldn't reprimand him. He could only continue to persuade him. After finally calming Xu Wenbi's emotions, Shen Yicheng tidied himself up and sighed.
"Duke Ding, you don't have to be so anxious. After all, things haven't reached that step. Think about it, even if Duke Ying leaves, did His Majesty say that Xiao Ruxun will take over the military affairs of the capital? Even if Xiao Ruxun takes over this position, he will still be at the border of Datong and will be back for at least half a month, right? "
Xu Wenbi still looked like he had lost his parents.
"Then how can it be considered! He still has to come back to take over the position! He still has to know about the situation in the capital! He still has to tell His Majesty! He … "
Xu Wenbi suddenly stopped crying. Shen Yicheng thought that Xu Wenbi had discovered something wrong and his heart tightened.
It was said that even a fool would come up with a good idea. Could it be that this idiot had discovered something?
Xu Wenbi looked carefully at Shen Yicheng.
"Minister Shen, do you think we can use money to bribe Xiao Ruxun and have Xiao Ruxun cooperate with us?"
Shen Yicheng's worried heart relaxed.
Well, pigs raised in captivity would never be able to be raised into lions no matter what.
Xu Wenbi was still talking to himself.
"Minister Shen, think about it. As long as Xiao Ruxun agrees to cooperate with us, at most, at most, at most, each of us will take out some money to give to him, feed him, and have him become one of us. Wouldn't that be fine? We will also have a powerful helper and in the future, we might be able to obtain even greater benefits. What do you think? Am I right? "
Seeing Xu Wenbi's smug expression, Shen Yicheng really felt sorrow for Xu Da.
"Duke Ding, let's not talk about whether Xiao Ruxun is someone who likes money. Even if he likes money, how much money would it take to satisfy him and make him one of us? What does Duke Ding think about it? "
Xu Wenbi thought about it.
"Just money might not be enough. If it were up to me, we should directly choose the most beautiful daughter from the three families to marry to him. With marriage, with this layer of relationship, wouldn't he be one of us? Aiya, I actually … Aiyo, Minister, I've lost my composure, I've lost my composure. I've been scared, I've lost face, I've lost face. Please don't blame me, Minister! "
Xu Wenbi had a relaxed and happy expression, as if he had solved something very important.
Shen Yicheng couldn't help but remind him.
"Xiao Ruxun is already married and has a wife."
Xu Wenbi looked like he didn't care.
"That's fine. Ask His Majesty to be merciful and bestow her the title of equal wife. We won't ask him to divorce his wife or anything. Would he not want a woman sent to his door? I don't believe that a troublemaker on the battlefield doesn't like women. With women, money, and our relationship, he won't be hooked? "
