The lights in the Western courtyard of the Shen residence were also brightly lit throughout the night.
Shen Gui and Shen Wan wanted to inquire about it, but Shen Xin directly let his trusted aide guard the courtyard doors so that not even a mosquito could fly in. Trying to find out what was said was easier said than done.
In the room, Shen Qiu poured a cup of tea for Shen Miao and said, "Younger Sister speak slowly."
Regarding military matters, the Shen family had Shen Xin, Luo Xue Yan and Shen Qiu but Shen Miao never seemed to have anything to do with these matters. A pampered Young Lady who was far away in the Ding capital, perhaps she did not even know the layout of the aristocratic families in the Ding capital. The matters of the military were treacherous and difficult to distinguish, and the forces involved were not as simple as it looked on the surface. Even officials could not differentiate clearly, much less Shen Miao.
But when Shen Miao said it, she said it so logically that Shen Xin and wife could not help but raise their eyebrows.
"Abandon the Shen family's army and pick up the Luo family's army." Luo Xue Yan said, "But the Shen family's army are all elites and the Luo family's army …" Speaking of the troops that her father had led before, Luo Xue Yan was somewhat sad, "How can it be compared to the Shen family's army?"
"Although the Luo Family Army is scattered, it is important to be clean." Shen Miao said, "There is already a traitor in Father's Shen family army and to bring such a troop to war, who knows if one would be stabbed in the back?"
As soon as he said this, the three of them fell silent.
Everyone did not want to see a traitor among the soldiers who had been by their side through thick and thin, and who had single-handedly raised them up.
Shen Xin said, "I also thought about what Jiao Jiao said."
Shen Qiu and Luo Xue Yan looked at Shen Xin at the same time. At this moment Shen Xin's suspicion from before faded away and when he looked at Shen Miao, there was admiration in his eyes, "If one is indecisive, one would definitely suffer from chaos. But what did you mean when you said in the carriage that you would summon me to the capital within two years? "
"Correct." Shen Qiu also turned his head to look at Shen Miao, "How did Younger Sister know that His Majesty would summon Father back to the capital within two years?"
Who would be able to guess the Emperor's thoughts? When Shen Miao said those words, it seemed to have some meaning. Luo Xue Yan suddenly became nervous. She was thinking about the long term and the person who could understand the Emperor's mind would definitely be someone around Emperor Wen Hui. Could it be Prince Ding? Prince Ding and Shen Miao's past matters had been exposed and Luo Xue Yan's greatest worry was that Shen Miao would be dragged into the muddy waters of the fight for the throne between the princes and be used as a bargaining chip for no reason.
Shen Miao's eyes hung down. Within two years, Emperor Wen Hui would naturally summon Shen Xin back to the capital. Because of the Ming Qi's tribute, there was the Qin country in the north and the Great Liang in the west, thus the Ming Qi which was caught in the middle was in a precarious situation. At that time Emperor Wen Hui's health was not very good, the Crown Prince was bedridden, Prince Zhou and Prince Li fought till their heads were broken and bleeding, and Fu Xiu Yi's hidden big net was gradually spread out.
Shen Xin was a loyal general and would definitely be used by Emperor Wen Hui to deter the enemy countries. Just like in the previous lifetime, even if the Imperial family was still suppressing the Shen family's army at that time, they still left a line and Shen Xin would be squeezed dry by the Imperial family to the last drop of oil.
It was just that these words could not be said to the outside. Shen Miao gently smiled as she faced the different gazes of the few people, "I only had a very realistic dream. In the dream, within two years, Father would make a comeback and the Formidable Great General's name would not be disgraced."
These words were actually somewhat perfunctory but Shen Miao said it gently and her pair of eyes were so clear that even if one did not believe it, their heart would soften by half.
Whether one could be recalled back to the capital within two years, this was something that no one could say clearly. But whether it was one year, two years, or three or four years, it was indeed the best way to retreat to the Northwestern region at this moment. Not only was it to make a comeback, it was also because the fight for the throne was currently at an intense time. If the Shen family were to stay in the Ding capital, even if they did not have military power, they would still be implicated. It was this logic to retreat bravely in the face of a crisis. Before achieving success, one must first protect one's family.
