Shen Xin was startled and looked at Shen Miao without speaking.
Since the words were already spoken, Shen Miao might as well say it all out, "Now that I have married to the Great Liang, the Emperor will definitely be estranged from the Shen family. Even though Father and Mother are still military generals, in the future the Emperor will not put you in an important position. The monarch's mind has always been hard to guess and if the Emperor has other thoughts … It is better to go to the Great Liang with the excuse of not feeling at ease with me. If one does not want the military power, then so be it. Anyway if one stays in Ming Qi, one day the military power would be taken back. "
Her words were very tactful and if it was before, after hearing Shen Miao's words, Shen Xin would definitely be somewhat at a loss. But that day Xie Jing Xing spoke to him for a long time and after listening to Shen Miao's hints, Shen Xin immediately understood. He could not help but smile bitterly in his heart. So his own daughter had already reminded him so many times, but why did he not take it to heart even once? Was it because of the Shen family's teachings of being loyal to the country? Or was it that he did not believe that what Shen Miao said was true from the bottom of his heart.
Shen Xin said, "The Imperial family wants to suppress the Shen family and is afraid of the military power in my hands, so they will definitely not let the Shen family leave Ming Qi easily. Moreover, they still want to use the Shen family to restrain you. "
Shen Miao was surprised for a moment. All along, she had scruples about Shen Xin and dared not speak too clearly about the indifference of the Imperial family of Ming Qi. It was not that Shen Xin was foolishly loyal, but Shen Xin was taught by Old General Shen since young to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country. It was a long process for one to overturn the things that one had revered for decades, and some people would not be able to do it in their entire life. But at the moment Shen Xin's words seemed to be able to see through it.
Shen Xin said, "Father knows of Jiao Jiao's concerns, but Father still cannot leave."
"If Father is determined, even if one uses some means, one would be able to leave." Shen Miao said, "The Tian family want to use the Shen family to restrain me, or use me to restrain the Shen family. The scheme is good, and one is not afraid of losing one's wife and losing one's soldiers." At the end, there was a faint hostility in her brows and her words became sharp.
Shen Xin laughed out loud, "Originally one felt that Jiao Jiao was too gentle and graceful, and was not like a young lady from my military family. Now seeing you like this, it is exactly the same as this Father, and has a bit of heroism. You're not afraid of power and have a clear mind. Very good! " He took a sip of tea and said, "With Jiao Jiao's intelligence, it wouldn't be difficult for her to find a solution. But what about the future?"
"Future?" Shen Miao was puzzled, "What future?"
"Jiaojiao." Shen Xin suddenly opened his mouth, "The Tian family see the Shen family as a thorn in their eyes. Even if there is a day when Ming Qi is strong and prosperous, there will be a day when the Shen family will become a fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered." Shen Xin gave a long sigh, "Our Shen family is upright and not afraid of crooked shadows. Even if we die, we would not be afraid. It is just that we are not willing to let your Mother, your Eldest Brother and you be implicated, and even more not wish for the Shen family to be upright for generations, and for the loyalty and virtuous reputation of your grandfather and ancestors to be insulted."
Shen Miao's heart thumped. She had guessed what Shen Xin was going to say but she did not dare to believe it.
In the next moment, Shen Xin's voice rang out, "I, Shen Xin, quit being a loyal servant of the Tian family."
Shen Miao suddenly looked up and said, "Father …"
"Jiao Jiao need not persuade me." Shen Xin laughed heartily, "Even though I, your father, am loyal, I will not be loyal to a heartless and unscrupulous person. I will not throw away the entire family's lives. Just like what you have seen, if my Shen family were to follow you to the Great Liang now, and if there is a day when the Great Liang attacks the Ming Qi, the commoners would scold our Shen family as rebels and scold you for helping the evildoer. We will not carry this inexplicable stigma. "
