Chapter 577 Who do you take me, Shen Qingzhi?!
Chapter 577 Who do you think I, Shen Qingzhi, am?!
In the candlelight of the lantern, Shen Guozhu looked at the two people in front of him, a civil servant and a military general, and asked in a daze:
"Tell me, who asked you to come?"
"The young master of your house, Mr. Shen Liuzhen, Mr. Shen." The civil servant said politely and seriously.
Shen Qingzhi still couldn't react, so he asked again:
"Isn't he in Wei State? Is he back again?"
"No, it was the words he brought from Wei State that asked us two to come and persuade Guozhu." The general also spoke.
Shen Qingzhi looked at them, one was a lieutenant general, and the other was a fifth-grade general. His face suddenly became ugly. He stretched out his hand to invite the two people to sit down, and said as if unintentionally:
"How could he contact you two..."
The two people looked at each other, their eyes communicating as if there was a secret, and then sat down in silence.
The civil official's name was Yu Xiao, and the military commander's name was Huo Nanzhi.
Yu gave a heavy sigh and said:
"It is inconvenient to write a letter for such an important matter. When Mr. Shen was here, we had a chance encounter with him, and we got along quite well with him. We had some friendship, so he was entrusted to us by various means and asked us to come. Be a lobbyist and persuade Shen Guozhu a thing or two."
Shen Qingzhi's complexion improved again, and he thought to himself: As long as Shen Liuzhen wants to, who can't he fall in love with?
Maybe these two people were not spies of the Wei State, but just happened to be used by Shen Liuzhen.
Probably not... If someone with such a high official position is willing to serve an enemy country, that would be too depressing.
"Let's talk... I'll listen to anything important." Shen Qingzhi asked.
The two were silent for a while, and then the general Huo Nanzhi said:
"It's a pity since General Xie's identity as a girl was exposed. Those who originally admired her and wanted to follow her were disappointed. Rumors spread all of a sudden, which dealt a huge blow to General Xie's reputation.
Like Commander Chen Jiuchen... He used to be full of praise for General Xie. He even said that he had known for a long time that General Xie's identity was a girl, but because of the public's attention and speculation, he dared not say it now.
I don't even dare to go to General Jie's house anymore, for fear of being ostracized by other generals and gossiping."
Shen Qingzhi was not surprised at all when he heard this, but his expression became more distressed due to fatigue. He sighed and said:
"I know all this...what can I do, God is not good for me. I have persuaded her to release her military power and go back, but she doesn't listen..."
Yu Xiaoyu quickly said:
"Shen Guozhu, to be honest, General Xie's identity is a bit embarrassing, but she has military merit, ability, and is your apprentice, so she is a big help to you. It is really a pity to let her give up and go back. Shen Lang Jun said that there is a way to solve this dilemma."
Although Shen Guozhu said he wanted Xie Yuan to go back, he had always hoped that Xie Yuan could be an upright general, but he felt that it was impossible in reality.
So after hearing this, I quickly asked curiously:
"What method?"
"Think about it, nowadays... people are criticizing General Jie a lot because they feel that a woman has controlled His Majesty and is riding on everyone's head. That's why so many people are dissatisfied and feel that their dignity has been compromised. damage.
But if another person becomes the emperor, a capable and prestigious person, then General Xie will have a stable and powerful backer.
How can she need to worry so much about standing at the forefront of the storm and attracting jealousy?
The Forbidden Army and the city defense camp are His Majesty's private army. With great power in hand, even those young people who are ready to take action will bow their heads.
At that time, General Xie will still be a general, but he will not set up a court in peacetime, and will not have direct troops under his command. In wartime, he will be called to the battlefield. Who has the courage to say anything?"
Shen Guozhu looked at him sideways, sneered, and said lightly:
"It turns out that I still wanted to win the throne. This new emperor will not be..."
Military general Huo Nanzhi sat up straight, clasped his fists with bright eyes and said:
"Of course it is Shen Guozhu. Shen Guozhu, you have accumulated prestige in the army for many years, and you have the support of the Shen family in the army. In addition, you have been handling the government affairs for His Majesty. Except for those who follow Ma Guogong and oppose you, in the court There are so many people who are convinced. As long as you raise your arms and shout, everyone will obey the order, let the little emperor abdicate and make way for the worthy, and the world will be settled."
Shen Qingzhi slammed the table angrily and said angrily:
"Ridiculous!! I am here today not because His Majesty valued me and entrusted me with important responsibilities! Who do you think I, Shen Qingzhi, am? A sinister villain who is ungrateful and revengeful, seeking power to usurp the country!"
As he spoke, he turned his head back and forth in the room, pointed at the two of them and asked sternly:
"Tell me!...Who else thinks so?! Who the hell thinks of me, Shen Qingzhi, so much that it blinds him!"
Shen Qingzhi was really angry, not modestly or perfunctory, and had no intention of wavering at all.
How could the two people who came to persuade me not see it? They looked at each other with a hint of fear in their eyes.
If Shen Qingzhi is so determined to defend the little emperor's throne, wouldn't it be dangerous for the two of them to turn against each other?
Yu Xiaoyu swallowed his saliva and immediately persuaded:
"Shen Guozhu, it's not that anyone doubts your character and conduct, but that the current situation is forcing us to make changes to cope with the fate.
I heard that those who followed Ma Guogong in the past were dissatisfied with the cowardice of the young emperor, and General Jie, a female prostitute who held military power, wanted to take the opportunity to use the witch to bring harm to the country, which was an ominous sign, to gather people's hearts, and to create another Li Mingzhu, is Shen Guozhu going to sit back and do nothing? He has to do something, right?"
Huo Nanzhi also said excitedly:
"Yes! If we don't take action, they will take action! If you strike first, you will gain strength, but if you strike later, you will suffer disaster! Now this His Majesty... He is really hard to convince the public, Guozhu!"
Huo Nan kept crying and his hands were shaking.
Shen Qingzhi returned, took two more steps forward, scanned their expressions with his eyes, and asked:
"Tell me the truth, where did you hear these things? Did Shen Liuzhen teach you, or is this really true?"
Yu stuttered a bit and said:
"He... Mr. Shen taught us what he said, and it was also heard in the court. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to listen to him and come to you. I think your master is right.
Shen Guozhu, we are all people who trust you and follow you. If we let them take action first, let alone Your Majesty, would we still be alive?"
Shen Qingzhi raised his face and tightened his fisting hands. He was very nervous. He was silent for a while and said to them:
"I understand, you go back first. Let me think about it carefully."
When the two heard this, it seemed that Shen Guozhu was shaken and seemed to be in trouble, so they hesitated for a while, and finally got up and left.
Shen Guozhu looked at their leaving figures, his eyes flashing brightly...
