Chapter 725 Honorable Worries
"Hehe, I just came out of the cabinet. I didn't eat, and I was very hungry. I really feel sorry for the two of you."

Seeing that the heat was almost ready, Shen Yiguan spoke slowly.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, here, I will order it right away, let the servants organize the banquet!"

Zhang Weixian immediately called for his servants to set up the banquet. Shen Yiguan watched with a smile and did not stop him. When Zhang Weixian finished his orders and looked at Shen Yiguan expectantly, Shen Yiguan felt that he was ready to speak.

"Xiao Jixin will be named the Duke of Qin after her triumphant return. This is already a certainty. As for whether Xiao Jixin, the two people who are most concerned about, will stay to take up other positions, it's hard to say."

Shen always likes to talk to people's appetite, Zhang Weixian and Xu Wenbi looked at each other, their faces full of confusion.

"It's hard to say what does it mean? What does your majesty mean? Mr. Ge, to tell you the truth, I went to ask to see your majesty, but your majesty didn't see me."

Xu Wenbi looked depressed.

Shen consistently nodded.

"Of course Your Majesty won't see Duke Ding. Shen Li and Yu Jideng objected to His Majesty's promotion of Xiao Jixin as Duke of Qin. They were severely reprimanded by His Majesty and kicked out of the palace. His Majesty is in a fit of anger. No one will see him."

The two looked at each other again.

"Speaking of which, how did His Majesty come up with the idea of ​​granting Xiao Ruxun the title of Duke of Qin? The title of Qin was once used by Tang Taizong, and it will not be used by courtiers with foreign surnames after Tang. How could His Majesty award it to Xiao Ruxun? "

Zhang Weixian asked.

"Your Majesty means that Xiao Jixin was born in Yan'an. Yan'an belonged to Qin State during the Warring States period. It is reasonable and reasonable for him to be named Duke of Qin. I have also told Your Majesty that the title of Duke Qin is inappropriate. I suggest using other titles, Your Majesty." I just don’t agree, I insist on using Qin.”

Shen Yiguan looked helpless: "Your Majesty is the king, and we are the ministers. What the king wants to do, the ministers can only persuade, not forcibly stop, otherwise they will be disloyal. As a minister, I am also very helpless."

This is a very stupid thing to say, not to mention people like Zhang Weixian and Xu Wenbi, even any small bureaucrat would not believe this kind of nonsense, saying this is just an excuse, just prevarication, but Zhang Weixian and Xu Wenbi don’t understand So, did Shen Guanyi come here specially to prevaricate them?

Looking for something to do when you are full?

This is obviously not Shen's usual style, and they don't believe it either.

"Mr. Shen Ge, stop playing around in circles! Tell us! Has Your Majesty already planned to replace me as Admiral of the Beijing Camp with Xiao Ruxun?"

Zhang Weixian decided to get straight to the point, and stop going around in circles with this old guy. This old guy is too deep in routines, and he can't get around him.

"Why do you say that?"

Shen Yiguan did not show a surprised expression, but smiled ambiguously, which made Zhang Weixian feel a little worried.

"Xiao Ruxun is a famous general in all battles, the most capable general in Ming Dynasty today, isn't it to win over him and let him come to the capital to train soldiers by making him a Duke? I heard that Xiao Ruxun is very good at training soldiers. Three years ago someone wanted to let him Xiao Ruxun will take over from me to train the soldiers of the Beijing camp, this time, is your Majesty planning to do so?"

Zhang Weixian asked very thoroughly, and Shen Yitong's reply was also very thorough.

"Since Yinggong said so, the old man will not avoid it. His Majesty has never mentioned this matter, but His Majesty granted Xiao Jixin the duke and granted him favors. There are all signs that His Majesty is not just rewarding meritorious officials. Otherwise, Zhao Guogong would also Yes, Duke Yan is fine too, why must it be Duke Qin? Is it really because Xiao Ruxun was born in Qin?"

Zhang Weixian was really nervous, even with Xu Wenbi.

"Could it be... His Majesty really wants to replace us with Xiao Ruxun?"

Zhang Weixian is a vital stakeholder, and Xu Wenbi is not. Xu Wenbi is one of the few big heads in the Beijing camp every year. Without the Beijing camp, it’s a small matter. It’s not a big deal not to be able to pay the empty salary, but it’s found out that the empty salary is empty The issue of the salary, and tossing the Beijing camp into such a ghostly state, if the emperor finds out, everyone will be finished!
At that time, it's not just one person who will be finished.

The Xiao family is a family of generals in the Northwest. Before Xiao Ruxun made his fortune, there was only one Xiao Wenkui who had been in the capital and held a position in the capital, but because he was not a noble, he was not in the mainstream.

It wasn't until Xiao Ruxun made his fortune that he became Uncle Pinglu and Marquis of Zhennan. This was considered a noble, but it couldn't be counted in the Beijing circle. Their Xiao family has never been a noble in the Beijing circle, but The nobles from other places are just like Wei Guogong and Qian Guogong.

There has never been any conflict of interest between the two groups. The only direct contact was probably on the eve of the outbreak of the Korean War, when Xiao Ruxun was appointed as the general. Blood.

As a result, when they heard that the Japanese pirates were strong, they all dared not go, and lost face for their boss. Later, Xiao Ruxun made great contributions in defeating the Japanese pirates in North Korea, and these people regretted it a bit.

I can only say that I am not guilty, the relationship with Xiao Ruxun is still very ordinary. Originally, one is in the capital and the other is in Myanmar. It exceeded everyone's expectations.

Who could have cut off so many heads until Xiao Ruxun was so vigorous?
Seeing the flustered look of these two people, Shen always looked down on them very much.

But for big things, he had to use them, keep them by the way, form an alliance with them, and the rest, it really wasn't very important anymore.

"Your Majesty is not dissatisfied with us for a day or two. If His Majesty really uses Xiao Ruxun to lead the Beijing Camp, then the entire noble circle will be unable to escape. We all know exactly what is going on in the Beijing Camp. An outsider must not be allowed to intervene!"

Xu Wenbi had a somewhat stern look.

"Of course I know this, but if His Majesty insists on going his own way, what shall we do?"

Zhang Weixian looked at Xu Wenbi.

"Otherwise, let's think of a way to put him..."

Xu Wenbi made a movement of scratching his neck.

Shen Yiguan happened to be drinking tea, and when he saw this scene, he was choked up and felt bad all over.

"Cough cough cough... cough cough... cough cough cough cough cough..."

Zhang Weixian and Xu Wenbi hurried over.

"Old Shen Ge, what's the matter?"

"Old Shen Ge, drink slowly, don't choke."

Shen Yiguan managed to catch his breath and looked at Xu Wenbi in shock.

Is this really a descendant of Xu Da?

The other party is a duke like you. It is impossible to kill him without being charged with treason. You actually said that you want to assassinate him?

Seeing Shen Yiguan looking at him in shock, Xu Wenbi was still a little confused.

Could it be that my strategy was too ingenious, so that I frightened old Shen Ge?
"Xiao Jixin will soon become the Duke of Qin, and will be equal to Duke Yingding. It is impossible to touch him without the charge of treason!"

Shen Yiguan hurriedly said this to dispel the divine thoughts of these two.

The two looked at each other.

Also.

What can we do then?

Go to the emperor to intercede?

No way?The emperor will ignore them.

What can we do then?

The two had no choice but to turn their eyes to Shen Yiguan for help.

"Elder Ge, once Xiao Ruxun finds out about the Beijing camp, we really can't guarantee what he will say, but I'm afraid there are so many honorable families in our family that can't be preserved. Elder Ge, you have to think of a way." ah!"

"Yes, Mr. Ge, this Xiao Ruxun is an outsider from beginning to end. If he really wins the Beijing camp, who knows what he will do? At that time, not only our nobles, but also a group of bosses in the imperial court will suffer. Then But it's really over!"

Shen Yiguan took a deep breath.

If I don't push you to the brink of doom, how can I make you willing to be used by me?

Shen Yiguan laughed.

"Yinggong, Dinggong, stay safe and don't be rash. This matter is not certain. His Majesty asked Xiao Jixin to replace Yinggong to take charge of the Beijing camp. Although there are some possibilities, it has not been confirmed after all. If it is really confirmed, two It's never too late to be in a hurry, is it?"

"It's too late to worry if you're sure!"

Xu Wenbi understood this point.

But Shen Yiguan just wanted to push these two people to a dead end, so that he could discuss important matters with them at ease!
Shen consistently determined his next course of action.

Persuade the emperor to hand over the military power of the Beijing camp to Xiao Ruxun!
