Chapter 98
Those few people looked at Shen Ruowen's young offspring with clear eyebrows, and they also knew everything, and told her all the rumors that the Shen family was going to be knighted.
"After being knighted, he has no power to take charge of the Northwest Army, he can only be a carefree marquis, and this general's mansion has completely declined in this lifetime."
Shen Ruowen was stunned on the spot, this sentence has always been in her mind, don't look at how majestic these marquis are, in fact, they don't have much power in their hands, and because of such an identity, they have to give up some things that go beyond the regulations, and they can only raise some guards who take care of the family, let alone have access to military power.
Why did my brother give up the Shen family so easily, if he was knighted, how could he take back the Northwest Army in the future, so his own hard work for so many years, and his father's years of hard work, aren't they all useless work?
Trotting all the way towards the Shen family, countless thoughts flashed through Shen Ruowen's mind, she would rather believe that the second brother was persecuted, than that he would willingly give up the Shen family's family business.
Seeing from a distance that there were already guards from the imperial court at the door of Shen's house, and even people coming in and out, Shen Ruowen recognized these people, all of whom were officials from various ministries, and seeing their happy faces, they actually came to congratulate the Shen family on inheriting the title.
In the main hall, Shen Ruoming was helped out of the backyard and stood in front of General Shen's tablet, surrounded by the Shen family clans with different expressions, to be honest, they were unwilling to let the Shen family change from a general's mansion with military power to a marquis' mansion with only flowers.
But at the beginning, the Shen family's family business was all worked hard by the general Shen Heng alone, and their clansmen have been stained with light all these years, and they are not qualified to point fingers at all.
There were already a lot of people standing in the courtyard who rushed to congratulate them after hearing the news, their relationship with the Shen family was not so good, but now the Shen family is willing to hand over the military power, and the biggest beneficiary Chen Wang has a good relationship with Shen Ruoming, even if they disdain it, they need to be vain.
Emperor Xuan had already announced in the court that the Shen family was going to inherit the title, and in the future, Shen Ruoming would only be a knight, and he could no longer interfere in the management of the Northwest Army, which was also something he was happy to see.
The internal officials of the palace soon went out of the palace gate and came towards the Shen family, and the iron cavalry guards were not majestic along the way, but people were actually more accustomed to the Shen family as the general's mansion of the Xuan Dynasty, rather than an ordinary Hou Mansion.
"Ah Ming, in the future, you will be one of the few marquis of the Xuan Dynasty, so that you can have a peaceful second half of your life, I believe General Shen will also be satisfied."
Fu Yuhao looked at his brother from the side, to be honest, he was a little surprised by Shen Ruoming's choice, he thought that he would continue to maintain the Shen family's control of the Northwest Army, and quietly wait for the day when he could regain the former glory of the General's Mansion.
But it was Shen Ruoming who took the initiative to find him, saying that he had no ambition anymore and just wanted to spend the next time in peace, so that he needed to help him take care of the old department of the Shen family in the Northwest Army.
Shen Ruoming nodded and smiled, King Chen, he was not such a noble title before, the Wang family has always been ambitious, unwilling to be only a concubine for his daughter, and of course unwilling for the second prince to be just an ordinary idle king, so he has tried his best to win over the Shen family since he was a child, hoping to use the power of the General's Mansion to support him and the prince to fight against each other.
So since he was a child, Fu Yuhao got along with their brothers and sisters day and night, and even worshipped his father as an enlightenment teacher, and followed the Shen family to eat sand on the desolate border.
They used to think that this was a good friend of the Shen family, and if it was really necessary to choose someone to stand between him and the prince in the future, the Shen family would definitely favor him a little.
But in the end, when the Shen family was trapped on the border and isolated, Fu Yuhao, the person they called brothers, returned to the capital unharmed, and the Wang family didn't even say a word in the court to send reinforcements to the general's mansion.
In the years when he was in Anyu Kingdom, all he heard was how he was trying to find a way to encroach on the Shen family.
Such a person is more hated by Shen Ruoming than Emperor Xuan, who directly framed the Shen family.
Now he doesn't want the military power of the Northwest Army, okay, give it to him, if you want to compete with the prince, you can also help him.
This is what this will make the suspicious Emperor Xuan think in the end, that is what he can't control, it's best to see their father and son turn against each other, so even if he wants to join the Northwest Army, he will not hesitate.
A holy decree pulled back his thoughts, and Shen Ruoming reluctantly knelt on the ground to listen to the decree with the support of the people around him.
Shen Ruowen could see clearly in the crowd that it was the second brother himself who was willing to accept the knighthood, and the fist on his side was slowly clenched, is this still his second brother?
Didn't he know what that meant? His father's hard work for so many years was given up by him like this, and in the future, the Shen family can only be no different from those families who can only intrigue and fight, being suppressed everywhere and looking up to others.
“.... Shen Ruoming, the son of the general Shen Heng, was specially given the title of Marquis of Ding'an"
"Wait!"
The eunuch's words were quickly interrupted, so a person suddenly rushed out from among the people kneeling down in the courtyard to receive the order, it was not Shen Ruowen.
Everyone present was frightened, isn't this Shen Ruowen, who was rumored to have followed the third prince to Baixia as a hostage, how could this unruly eldest lady come out to stir up the situation at this time.
Shen Ruowen didn't care so much, looking at the bright holy decree, she only felt dazzling, the second brother she had always trusted was avoiding her gaze, and it seemed that she didn't intend to explain.
It seems that they forced the second brother to give up the Northwest Army, the more Shen Ruowen thought about it, the more angry she became, no matter what the reason, she would not just watch her father's years of hard work being occupied.
"Presumptuous, this is a holy decree, what are you doing with a little girl? I don't want it anymore! ”
The internal official scolded Shen Ruowen, she was really a little girl who didn't know the height of the sky, and she dared to disobey the holy decree.
He glared at Shen Ruowen, and Shen Ruowen naturally glared back.
"Before my father left, he entrusted me with the General's Mansion and asked me to be the young master of the Shen family, I have been taking care of the General's Mansion for so many years, and I think I also have the right to speak when the Shen family's military power is left."
There was an uproar in the audience, is this Shen Ruowen going to come out to fight with her brother for the Shen family? Although her identity as the young master of the Shen family is indeed true, it is all because the men of the Shen family died before, so that the only bloodline of the general, is in charge.
Now that the real young master of the second son of the Shen family is back, she is naturally just a boudoir lady, how can she come out at this time to make peace.
"Sister-in-law...."
Shen Ruoming was also panicked, he was worried that his sister would not agree, so he planned to take her away for a while, but who knew that now she would stand up directly against it, he knew very well what kind of lifeblood his sister held in the hands of the Shen family, if she did not agree, even the court would be afraid of it.
