Early the next morning, Shen Ming, who was standing alone in the court, was like a plague god, and no one wanted to approach him, let alone talk to him.

And he didn't have the heart to say anything to everyone at the moment, and he didn't even hear what His Majesty said on the dragon chair.

The two breezy old men no longer had the full glory of their past, and his expression was gloomy, as if he had lost his soul, and he stood in the hall like a puppeteer.

The government of the dynasty was almost discussed, and noticed that many eyes were cast on him, so he said:

"Your Majesty, the old minister is old and weak, and he can no longer serve as a director, so I hereby ask Your Majesty to resign and tell you about my old age."

According to the usual practice, Yang He should refuse three times like other emperors, and Shen Ming should ask three times in a row before he can be approved.

But Yang He is an anxious person, and now he is in a hurry to reshuffle the household department, and he doesn't want to delay for a minute, so he nodded and said:

"After Aiqing goes back, take care of yourself, don't ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Ming directly interrupted the emperor's voice.

I saw Shen Ming arch his hand, and his face was resolute:

"Before the old minister says goodbye, there is still the last fold of the chapter to present to His Majesty."

This is the first time that Yang He has been interrupted since he ascended the throne.

But he didn't get angry, he just nodded:

"Aiqing, please say it."

Yang He and the ministers in the palace thought that Shen Ming was going to intercede for those Shen family members who were arrested yesterday, but as soon as Shen Ming opened his mouth, it was greatly unexpected by everyone:

"Your Majesty, please suspend the southern expedition!

At least after the canal is repaired, after ten years of recuperation, it is not too late to mention the southern expedition! ”

He actually wanted His Majesty to stop the southern expedition! It's not about interceding for the children of the family!

The ministers in the palace were all shocked.

Even Yang He's expression on his face was relaxed, although the Shen family was not successful, but this Shen Ming was still dedicated to the public.

However, this world is mine after all.

Shen Lao, don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame you families for persecuting me too much:

"I have my own decision on this matter, Elder Shen, let's go back and rest first."

Yang He waved his hand and was about to drive Shen Ming out of the court.

Who would have thought that Shen Ming's stubborn temper also came up:

"Your Majesty! The southern expedition failed miserably, and the loss was not only my 100,000 sons and daughters!

During the southern expedition, the dynasty paid countless financial, material and human resources for it.

The people of Siye have long been oppressed by various taxes, and even in the vicinity of Gyeonggi, there are many groups of bandits.

If the southern expedition is mentioned again in a short period of time, the people will not be able to make a living, and I am afraid that there will be a disaster!! ”

This old thing is broken and broken, isn't it?

Yang He's face turned blue with anger when Shen Ming turned over, but he still said in a soothing tone:

"Aiqing is too worried, the immortals give me immortal seeds, the yield per mu is 400 catties, as long as this immortal seed is all over the world, and the people have food and clothing, how can the people not talk about life?"

Hearing this, Shen Ming's face was even more sad, and he was about to open his mouth to say more, but he didn't want the right prime minister Su An to turn his head to look at him, his face was gloomy:

"Shen Shangshu, you are old, these things are still left to us young people to worry about."

Not only Su An, but also the civil and military achievements in the hall all looked back at Shen Ming with unkind faces, although they didn't speak, their meaning was already very clear.

Shen Ming is obviously going to break the can and shake out those things that can't be put on the table today.

Although it is not on the table, it involves the foundation of the major families.

It was impossible for the ministers to watch Shen Ming say these words in the main hall.

I saw that everyone looked at them one by one with unkind faces, and their eyes were full of murderous intent.

Shen Ming suddenly sobered up, although most of the clansmen were arrested, his family was still there, and the family still existed.

If you say this, I am afraid that there will be no Shen family in the world.

Saying these words today is not a whim of him.

But last night, when he heard that Jinyiwei was arresting the Shen family everywhere, he knew that he should return the household department to His Majesty.

Sleepless all night, Shen Ming spent all night thinking about his childhood determination to study and serve the country, but after becoming a household secretary, what did he do for the country?

Hence today's speech.

But now, he was afraid.

The strength of the family is enough to make the bravest people in the world fearful.

No matter what, Your Majesty, the old minister can't help you anymore.

Shen Ming's expression was even more lonely, and he only raised his hand and arched his hand at Yang He in the hall:

"The old minister retired."

Then he left the hall tremblingly.

Now that Shen Ming is gone, although the ministers are a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, they still want to compete for the cake left by the Shen family.

"Your Majesty, the household department is related to the financial use of the country and the dynasty, and it is very involved, and you can't be left without an owner for a day, and the ministers ......."

Shen Ming naturally didn't know that as soon as he left, those lucky wolves aimed their eyes at the household he left behind.

He came to the palace and returned home in a carriage, only to find that his servants had almost run away.

After all, overnight, so many people in the family were suddenly arrested, and these servants didn't have much knowledge, so they probably thought that they had angered some big man and wanted to be retaliated against, right?

"Alas...... Family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs, have been wasted for most of his life, and none of the old man can do it well. ”

With a sigh, he was about to ask someone to prepare the things of the household department for handover.

Who knew that a crisp voice suddenly came from behind him:

"Why should Shen Lao sigh? Leaving Chu Jing and returning to the countryside is not a good thing for Shen Lao. ”

Looking back, I saw that Hou Shigui, who was dressed in brocade, had broken into the mansion with a few guards at some point.

Shen Ming was not in a hurry, but asked in a gloomy tone:

"What? Your Majesty is not even willing to let the old man return to the countryside? ”

Hou Shigui didn't treat himself as an outsider at all, and asked Bao Ji to pull a chair and sat down with a big grin:

"No, I didn't come here because of His Majesty's intentions, but for the old gentleman."

After that, Xiang Xu walked over with the three young men.

Of the three young men, the oldest was in his twenties, and the youngest was only about ten years old.

Seeing the three of them, Shen Ming glanced at Hou Shigui meaningfully:

"My wife and brother have been arrested by you all over the house, these three boys, will you rest assured that they will be handed over to me?

Aren't you afraid that they will seek revenge on you in the future? ”

Hou Shigui nodded and said:

"Of course I'm afraid, I'm so afraid that I can't wait to cut off the heads of these three people and pretend to drink to prevent future troubles, but Hou finally agreed to Shen Yi.

A promise is a promise, and these three people will ask the old gentleman. ”

After that, he turned to the three young men and said:

"If the three of you are really angry in the future and want to come to the official to seek revenge, remember to leave a queen for your father, and someone will burn incense for you in the future."

The three young men looked at Hou Shigui without saying a word, but the hatred and killing intent on their faces were revealed without concealment.

I don't have a lot of debts, anyway, there are more people who want to kill myself, Ye Leng, that mountain bandit boy, as well as Li Yan, Lianqing's senior brother, etc.

And what he has to do in the future will only provoke more enemies for himself, and he can't kill him.

They can only make themselves stronger and stronger, so strong that they can only look up to themselves.
