Wanli 1592

Chapter 742 Pigs Raised in Captivity Can’t Raise a Lion Anyway

It was already midnight when Xu Wenbi saw Shen Yiguan.

For some reason, Shen Yiguan came home very late today, and his family entertained Xu Wenbi, but Xu Wenbi was so anxious and restless that he almost died of panic.

Finally, when the leisurely Shen Yiguan came home to meet the guests, Xu Wenbi almost burst into tears.

"Old Shen Ge, old Shen Ge, you are back! I'm so anxious!"

Shen Yiguan had a guilty expression on his face: "Donggong, this old man is really sorry for Dinggong. There has been a sudden change in the court. I can't help it. I have been handling affairs in the cabinet until now, and I haven't even had time to eat. I just came back, and I will go again in two hours, this... ouch!"

Xu Wenbi quickly took Shen Yiguan's hand.

"Mr. Shen Ge, let's not talk about anything else. Your Majesty asked Duke Ying to write a letter to plead guilty and to suspend himself. Do you know about this?"

Shen Yiguan frowned.

"Ah? Something like this? Why didn't I know? When did it happen?"

Xu Wenbi was shocked: "In the daytime, His Majesty asked Yinggong to enter the palace for a narration, and when Yinggong came back, he said that His Majesty told him that before Shen Li resigned, he went up to impeach Yinggong for embezzling military expenses, but His Majesty suppressed him and then dismissed him." He killed Shen Li and kept the title of Duke Ying.

But in order to avoid extra problems, I asked Ying Gong to suspend his post for self-reflection, so as to reassure everyone, and return the position to Ying Gong after the limelight has passed. The downfall of Mr. Shen Ge, Shen Li and Yu Jideng is because of this incident, right? "

The emperor can really talk nonsense...

Shen always complained silently in his heart.

Then, he showed a surprised look.

"The old man has heard about Shen Li's letter, but that happened before. The downfall of Shen Li and Yu Jideng was because of their titles. In order to prevent His Majesty from granting Xiao Ruxun the Duke of Qin, and thereby instigating the Metropolitan Procuratorate to attack the cabinet and the palace. How did the dismissal involve Duke Ying?

From the beginning to the end, Shen Li and Yu Jideng didn't mention this matter either?They were all talking about titles, when did they get involved with Ying Gong?Isn't that right?Could it be that……"

Shen Yiguan showed a clear expression, and then looked at Xu Wenbi with extremely bad eyes.

"Did you say something?"

Xu Wenbi was nervous.

"Could it be that His Majesty is clearing the way for Xiao Ruxun to lead the Beijing camp?"

Xu Wenbi was stunned for a moment.

"Otherwise, there is no reason. It is obviously for the matter of the title. Why did Yinggong get involved? Shen Li's memorial is true, but the most important thing in the court these days is the title dispute. Even the old man has only heard about Yinggong’s military expenditure, but it is not important, so why is it related to Yinggong’s resignation?”

Shen has always been persuasive.

Xu Wenbi suddenly realized something.

"Mr. Shen Ge, what do you mean to say, all this is just to create conditions for Xiao Ruxun to lead the Beijing camp? In order for Xiao Ruxun to lead the Beijing camp, you just found a reason to let Yinggong resign?"

Shen Yiguan stroked his beard and pondered for a while.

"Based on His Majesty's respect and favor for Xiao Ruxun, I'm afraid that's it."

Xu Wenbi suddenly yelled like mourning his concubine.

"Oh!! How can this be done!!!"

Shen Yiguan forcibly suppressed the dislike and disgust in his heart.

"What's the matter, what's the matter, Duke Ding, don't be like this? It's just a change of position, and His Majesty didn't expressly ask Xiao Ruxun to take over this position, did he? Please don't do this!"

Xu Wenbi's tears poured out immediately.

"Ge Lao! You don't know if others don't know? You know what's going on in the Beijing camp! Oh! If Xiao Ruxun takes over the position! Is there any way for us to survive? He's an outsider! An outsider from the Northwest! No Our own people! If he knows the situation in the Beijing camp, can he not tell His Majesty? His Majesty knows, do we still have a way to survive?! Oh, ah, ah!!"

Xu Wenbi cried for a while, and threw himself on Shen Yiguan again.

"Old Shen Ge! You can't just ignore this matter! If this really comes true, none of us can escape! Most of the court's civil and military affairs can't get away from it! Is Xiao Ruxun alone more important than half of the court?" Are all civil and military officials more important?"

Shen Yiguan was irritated by this rogue-like method, but he couldn't reprimand him, he could only persuasion, and finally calmed down Xu Wenbi's emotions. Shen Yiguan tidied up his body and sighed.

"Mr. Ding, don't be so anxious. After all, things haven't reached that point yet. Think about it, even if Duke Ying resigns, did His Majesty say that Xiao Ruxun will take over the governor of Jingying Rongzheng? Even if Xiao Ruxun takes over this position, others Still at the border of Datong, at least half a month back, right?"

Xu Wenbi still looked as if he was in mourning.

"So what? He still has to come back to take over the position! He still has to know the details of the Beijing camp! He still has to tell His Majesty! He..."

Xu Wenbi suddenly stopped crying, and Shen Yiguan thought that Xu Wenbi had found something wrong, so he couldn't help feeling tense.

It is said that a fool is bound to gain something after a thousand thoughts. Could it be that this idiot discovered something?
Xu Wenbi looked at Shen Yiguan cautiously.

"Old Shen Ge, tell me, can we buy Xiao Ruxun with money and let Xiao Ruxun cooperate with us?"

The heart that Shen always held was relieved.

Well, pigs raised in captivity cannot grow into male lions anyway.

Xu Wenbi was still talking to himself.

"Mr. Shen Ge, think about it, as long as Xiao Ruxun agrees to cooperate with us, at worst, at worst, each of us will give him some money, feed him, and let him become our own, isn't that all right? With a powerful arm, you may be able to reap even greater benefits in the future, what do you think? Am I right?"

Seeing Xu Wenbi's complacent look, Shen Yiguan really felt sad for Xu Da.

"Mr. Ding, let's not talk about whether Xiao Ruxun is a person who likes money. Even if he likes money, how much money should be needed to satisfy him and even become his own? I don't know what is the opinion of Mr. Ding?"

Xu Wenbi thought for a while.

"Money alone is not enough. Let me tell you, let's just choose the most handsome daughter from the three families to marry him. With in-laws and this relationship, isn't he one of us? , I actually still... ah, elder Ge, I lost my temper, I lost my temper, I was frightened, I lost face, I lost face, please don't blame elder Ge!"

Xu Wenbi looked relaxed and happy, as if he had solved something very important.

Shen couldn't help reminding him.

"Xiao Ruxun is married and has a wife."

Xu Wenbi looked indifferent.

"That's okay, please be merciful to your Majesty, and it would be fine to grant him the status of an equal wife. We don't expect him to divorce his wife or anything. Why doesn't he want to send a woman to his door? I don't believe that a hob meat on the battlefield doesn't like women, There are women who have money and our relationship, and he still hasn't taken the bait?"

When talking about these old professions, Xu Wenbi's appearance is completely different, as if the scum like a mourning concubine just now did not exist at all, making Shen Yiguan feel that he has indeed opened his eyes.
