After Emperor Wen Hui finished speaking, he waved his hands in annoyance and said, "End of court!" He turned around and flicked his sleeves. Following his words, it would not be long before Shen Xin and wife who were under house arrest and Shen Qiu would be released from the Palace. It was just that at that time, one did not know if Shen Xin and wife would be able to rejoice when they were stripped of their military power.
Emperor Wen Hui flicked his sleeves and left the officials looking at each other in dismay.
No one had expected that such a grand and spectacular matter would be handled so simply. It could be said that it was simple … Quietly one would become a lone commander. Would Shen Xin be so angry that he would curse one's mother?
Su Yu patted the soil on his knees and stood up. Coincidentally he saw that Xie Ding had also tidied up his clothes. He walked over to Xie Ding and whispered, "What happened to you just now? Why did you suddenly speak?"
Even though Su Yu had obtained Su Ming Feng's words and promised to report against Shen Xin, he did not want to get his good friend involved in this muddy water. The situation that the Xie family was facing was more complicated than his and if one was not good, he would implicate the Xie family. Su Yu really wanted to blame himself to death. So Su Yu informed the matter to his colleagues that he was on good terms with but did not tell Xie Ding. He did not expect that today Xie Ding would actually follow along with his words and was almost angered by Emperor Wen Hui.
Xie Ding shook his head, "From what you said, I know that you have other ideas. Since you want to help Shen Xin, then I will conveniently help but it is only to help you." Xie Ding was an old fox that had been in the court for many years. Compared to Shen Xin who only knew how to fight, Xie Ding was better at the interests of the court. He could see that Su Yu was doing the opposite to help Shen Xin, so he took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
Hearing this, Su Yu was somewhat helpless. He felt that his good friend's casual character was the same as Xie Ding's son, Xie Jing Xing. Thinking of Xie Jing Xing, Su Yu was suddenly surprised, "Oh yes, I heard from Ming Feng that Jing Xing requested for the Commander's position. Is it true?"
"Ming Feng also know about it." Xie Ding shook his head and sighed, "Yes, it is true."
"Could it be that Jing Xing is crazy?" Su Yu said incredulously, "The Northern Jiang is not a place to play around. Old Xie, are you really not worried? "
"What's the use of me not being at ease? What's the use of not being at ease?" Xie Ding was helpless. "When have I ever been able to interfere with something he has decided on? Now, I only hope that he is safe. This is all my fault, and only I can pay for it now. "
"Actually … this isn't your fault." Hearing this, Su Yu felt a little sad. One wrong step after another. All these years, Xie Ding had been tormented because of what happened in the past. His conscience was uneasy, and his son was not close to him. As an outsider, he felt sad, and Xie Ding felt even worse. He diverted the topic, "Heard that the report on Shen Xin's crimes was submitted by the Ninth Prince, Prince Ding. Why do I not see him today?"
"It seems that His Majesty sent him to the Ministry of Works to inspect." Xie Ding frowned and said, "When he learns of this, I wonder what he will think."
"What else can I think?" Su Yu sneered, "I've already taken everything I want. It doesn't matter if I keep those heads or not."
This was the first time Xie Ding had seen Su Yu like this. He was somewhat surprised and asked, "That's right, you still haven't said why did you suddenly help Shen Xin? When did you have a friendship with the Shen family? "
Su Yu looked at the people who had walked far away, and when there was no one around, he then whispered to Xie Ding, "Ai, how is it me. It is my son Ming Feng. He told me at night that the current Shen family is just an opening for His Majesty, and after the Shen family, it would be inevitable that it would be my Su family …"
…
The matter in court quickly spread throughout the residence. Emperor Wen Hui left Shen Xin's entire family alive and only gave orders on their positions, which made the commoners sigh that the Imperial family was still very benevolent. Not only that, seeing how Emperor Wen Hui was so lenient to Shen Xin, everyone guessed that Shen Xin's prestige had not decreased and his weight in the Imperial family's heart was quite heavy, so it seemed that it was not as bad as the rumours.
The layman would watch the bustle while the expert would see the artistry. The commoners did not understand but the officials could see it clearly. Without the military power, the Shen family was like a tiger without its teeth. It had an empty appearance and no longer had the prestige of the past.
In the Shen residence, Shen Gui and Shen Wan were talking about the matter. Even though it was not as severe as they had imagined, they were very satisfied with the military power being taken back. This meant that Shen Xin's reputation and prestige was much lower than theirs.
In the Western courtyard, when Jing Zhe told Shen Miao the news, Shen Miao had just finished her lunch.
"Young Lady." Jing Zhe looked at Shen Miao's leisurely appearance and her heart calmed down before asking, "Young Lady is not worried at all. Is it that … Actually without military power, it is not as bad as what the outside say."
Shen Miao wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, "No need to be afraid. If it is yours, one would not be able to run away and if it is not yours, one would not be able to snatch it. "
