Five hundred and eighty-eight Shen has always been invited
Shi Xing and Song Yingchang both had such thoughts, let alone Yu Jideng.
He is the real prince, although he is acting, but he is always closer than others, and more justifiable, he has reason to believe that when the ministers determine the list of recommenders, he will definitely be in the first place.
For this reason, he decided to immediately go back and mobilize his own forces to help him build momentum, and once this momentum was created, things would be secure.
Shen has always been silent, waiting for the eunuch to read out the emperor's edict, Zhao Zhigao took the edict, everyone talked about what to do in the future, and then they said goodbye to each other and prepared to go back to do things, this time they have to make a big news.
Shen Yi returned to his duty room, ate a cup of tea, made some pastries to satisfy his stomach, and then thought about some things, so he ordered his henchmen to send letters to Shi Xing and Song Yingchang, and asked these two people to come to their homes to talk about it after they got off duty, the intention was very obvious.
And Shi Xing and Song Yingchang are both old birds in officialdom, and they know this clearly, and their hearts beat violently.
At this sensitive point in time, what did Shen Cheng want to do with the two of them, Shi Xing and Song Yingchang were faintly aware of it, but they were still a little puzzled, they didn't know what kind of medicine Shen Cheng was selling in his gourd, or if this thing was true, what could Shen Cheng do to let them realize their ideals?
After the two went home, they changed into court clothes, changed into regular clothes, and in order to hide people's eyes, they also deliberately went out of the house, sat in an ordinary small sedan chair, and cautiously came to the Shen Mansion.
When they arrived at the Shen Mansion, the two looked at each other, stared at each other, and then took out Shen's letter together with great tacit understanding, the two understood something, nodded together, and entered the Shen Mansion hand in hand.
Shen has always warmly entertained the two, set up a table of good dishes to entertain the two, and only talked about Fengyue and not about state affairs at the banquet, which made the two very embarrassed, and they didn't know whether they should say anything or not, all in all, they didn't eat well, and Fengyue didn't have a good chat, but Shen always didn't seem to care.
After three rounds of drinking, Shen always asked his family to remove the dishes and replace them with tea and refreshments.
Shi Xing and Song Yingchang suddenly realized that Shen was going to get down to business.
"The country is in trouble, the war is connected, as a secondary assistant, the servant has not been able to do his job, he is deeply ashamed, he can't eat well, he can't sleep well, he is worried every day, he is worried about not being able to do what he should do, and this day is not as good as day by day."
Shen has always seemed to be self-sarcastic, Shi Xing and Song Yingchang are sarcastic on the surface, but they keep complaining about Fang Cai's meal in their hearts, Shen has always eaten a lot, but the younger Shi Xing and Song Yingchang eat very little.
However, Shen Zheng obviously did not finish his words.
"Fortunately, the talents of the national dynasty are prosperous, and there are endless generations, a Xiao Zhennan was born, and fought three victories for my Ming Dynasty in a row, oh no, it was four, the battle of Ningxia, the battle of Korea, the battle of Dongwuguo, and the previous crusade against Luzon Franco, it is really an indispensable general of the Ming Dynasty.
This time I went to Datong, Shanxi, with Xiao Zhennan, the old man is not worried about the war in Datong, Shanxi, Shi Butang, the old man also wants to thank you for promoting Xiao Zhennan, Song Butang, the old man also wants to thank you for bringing Xiao Zhennan in North Korea, you are all his Bole! ”
Shi Xing and Song Yingchang were busy saying that they didn't dare to be.
"What's not to dare to do with this? If you dare to do it, you must dare to be! Xiao Zhennan has now made such great contributions to the country, and you all have credit, and after Xiao Zhennan pacified the Shanxi Datong Rebellion this time, you are even more honored, Your Majesty likes Xiao Zhennan very much, this is all your credit! ”
Shen always looked at Shi Xing and Song Yingchang with a little meaning.
Shi Xing and Song Yingchang immediately realized what Shen Cheng meant, but before they could speak, Shen Cheng spoke again.
"This time, Your Majesty asked the courtiers to nominate candidates who can enter the cabinet, and that is also due to Zhao Shoufu's old age, and it is difficult for me and Shen Ge Lao to support the cabinet affairs, so that the cabinet can add cabinet members, but this is not a little bit of Your Majesty's thoughts, you two may be able to see it?"
Shi Xing and Song Yingchang looked at each other, as if they didn't see anything.
"Here, let's ask Your Majesty to appoint Xiao Zhennan as the governor and manage the Datong War in Shanxi with full authority, and His Majesty has issued an edict to add cabinet members, which means that it couldn't be clearer, Your Majesty is very satisfied with the cabinet to promote Xiao Zhennan to become the governor, so he reciprocated the favor and allowed the cabinet to add cabinet members.
After Chen Ge died of illness, the number of cabinet members has not been large, and Zhao Shoufu is now old again, and he seems to be lacking in energy, but His Majesty has not given the cabinet an edict to add cabinet members, but at this time he gave the edict, all because of Xiao Zhennan, His Majesty's favor for Xiao Zhennan is not ordinary. ”
Shi Xing suddenly realized and said, "What does Elder Ge mean is that Your Majesty's actions are all because of Xiao Zhennan?" ”
Shen Yi nodded.
"Or else? Why did His Majesty recall Xiao Zhennan from Burma to lead the Datong War in Shanxi without telling everyone? That's because in the eyes of His Majesty, everyone is not credible, only Xiao Zhennan is the most credible, I heard that the reason why Xiao Zhennan was able to become the chief general of the Korean Battle in the first place was because His Majesty favored him? ”
Shi Xing nodded: "At that time, the dispute between Xiao and Li was very fierce, and the Ministry of War didn't know how to choose, until His Majesty issued an edict and named Xiao Zhennan's name, thinking that His Majesty was more satisfied with Xiao Zhennan, so Xiao Zhennan was able to go to North Korea." ”
"That's right, the dispute over the country's capital is the same as the great etiquette discussion of the year, which hurt the harmony of the monarch and the ministers, and most of the officials today offended Your Majesty in the matter of fighting for the country's foundation, Your Majesty doesn't like these people very much, and now in the cabinet, including the old man, are all people who did not have a firm position at that time, Shen Zhonghua is different, he was also His Majesty's teacher.
I won't tell you a lie, at the beginning, anyone who was too fierce in the matter of fighting for the country's foundation had no possibility of entering the cabinet, His Majesty must have chosen someone who did not have a tough attitude, and there is another point, if you have a good relationship with Xiao Zhennan, it will be even better, Shi Butang, Song Butang, you are all listed. ”
Shi Xing and Song Yingchang's hearts were pounding.
Shen has always really had this mind!
Song Yingchang reacted immediately.
"What does that Ge Lao mean is that Yu Butang ...... him"
"That's right, Yu Jideng has absolutely no possibility of entering the cabinet, I can tell you clearly, the people Your Majesty wants to choose are all people who can give up some honors for Your Majesty, and their reputation among the ministers is not good, and even some people with grudges, such as the old man, the relationship between the old man and the group of officials in the Yushitai is very poor."
Shi Xing and Song Yingchang finally knew what Shen Yi meant, as well as the emperor's careful thoughts.
They would never have imagined that the decisions and actions they made at the beginning would bring such a turnaround to the present!
However, problems remain.
They are not from Hanlin.
