When the old emperor heard Shen Chenmo's words, a wave of displeasure flashed in his eyes, so fast that almost no one caught it.

"Needless to say, Cheng Tuo's use of soldiers is naturally needless to say, and Cheng Tuo wants to be where he wants." When the old emperor spoke, he knew that everyone was stunned. I have long heard that the emperor is extraordinarily magnanimous and fond of this Su Chengtuo, but I didn't expect to be able to give him such a big face. Rao has not been in the capital for more than ten years, and he would have such a right, which is unimaginable to others!

Su Chengtuo stood up from his position and saluted the old emperor on the high seat, "The minister doesn't dare, the emperor wants the minister to bring where the soldiers, and the minister will only obey the order." ”

How could Su Chengtuo not know that the emperor's grace was vast, but there was a taboo called pampering and arrogance, he would not rely on the emperor's trust to act recklessly, otherwise wouldn't he really live up to the emperor's kindness?

The emperor was obviously very satisfied with Su Chengtuo's answer, and after a while, he pondered and said, "I remember that the soldiers on the training ground where Jiang Heng was originally located should still be in the hands of Cheng Tuo, and they are only more than 10,000 troops. Since you want to bring it, it is better to bring the 30,000 troops in the hands of General Wei next to you, it is not far away, but it is more convenient. ”

When Wei Qingshan heard the old emperor's words, he was stunned and knelt on the ground suddenly, "Your Majesty, those soldiers and old ministers have been with them for more than ten years, so they naturally have some feelings. It's not that I don't want to hand it over to Master Su, but I'm afraid that Lord Su will dislike the trouble! ”

Wei Qingshan raised his hand and gently wiped the cold sweat oozing from his head, 30,000 soldiers! These 30,000 soldiers are the largest troops in his hands, and the strength of the entire capital is only about 60,000! Originally, he had more than 40,000 in his hands, but now he has handed over 30,000, won't he only have a few thousand troops left, and when the time comes, what prestige will his general's troops have in the court?

"This General Wei doesn't have to worry!" The old emperor said unhappily, and everyone could hear that the old emperor was a little dissatisfied with Wei Qingshan's performance, "Don't forget, why did these 30,000 soldiers fall into your hands in the first place!" They were all brought by Master Su before you, and I believe that Master Su's ability will definitely be competent! ”

Wei Qingshan wanted to say something, but Shen Chenmo stood up first and said, "Erchen thinks that what his father said is true, but compared to the troops stationed outside the capital, it is not as good as the Imperial Forest Army in the palace that should be guided by Lord Su, after all, it directly protects the safety of the royal family and nobles, and it should be paid more attention." ”

"I also think that the Imperial Forest Army in the palace should be trained more," the old emperor said, hearing the old emperor relent, Shen Chenmo was overjoyed, "But Lord Su is too condescending to train the Imperial Forest Army." I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recalled the eldest grandson of the original martial champion Jiang Taifu to stay with him, so I would give him a chance. ”

When they heard the old emperor's words, Shen Chenmo and Wei Qingshan both loosened their bodies a little weakly, looking at the emperor's meaning, it was obvious that it had been decided, and no one could change it. Above the main hall, no one can challenge the emperor's authority!

Wei Qingshan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Shen Chenmo with a look, "Erchen very much agrees with what his father said. ”

Shen Chenmo almost squeezed out this sentence from between his teeth, but it still didn't make people uncomfortable to hear. If he openly slapped the old emperor in the face, no matter who it was, I am afraid that he would not be able to eat and walk around!

"The retainers obey." Shen Cuobai stood in front of Shen Chenmo and stood up and said.

The old emperor was very satisfied with Shen Cuobai's answer, and did not notice any difference between Wei Qingshan and Shen Chenmo. Or rather, don't want to notice at all.

Then there was a report on some trivial matters, Shen Chenmo stood in his position, and didn't listen to anything at all, as if everything was flowing through his head, but nothing was left.

Waiting until the early dynasty, Shen Chenmo was still confused, and he slowly knelt down to see off the old emperor under the drag of the people next to him.

Everyone dispersed, and Wei Qingshan just wanted to stand next to Shen Chenmo and say something, but Shen Chenmo just had a black face, and he held back what Wei Qingshan was about to say.

Seeing Shen Chenmo walking outside angrily, Wei Qingshan could only helplessly go back to his house, absent-minded along the way, and almost fell off the steps.

In Fengyi Palace, the queen was happily feeding the parrots in the cage.

"It's so cute, it should have taken a lot of effort for Chenmo to find you." A rare smile appeared under the queen's delicate makeup, and the bird food in her hand was gently delivered to the parrot's mouth.

The parrot obediently ate the food sent by the queen, and after chewing it, it began to call out loudly, "Chenmo! Chenmo! Chenmo! ”

Seeing the parrot's reaction, the smile on the queen's face deepened, and she took the bird food from the maid next to her, and put it to the parrot's mouth with a smile, "What a cute little object!" Learn everything so fast! ”

The parrot is still in "Chenmo!" Chenmo! The maid beside her carefully pulled the queen's sleeve, and the queen looked at the maid in puzzlement, and the maid whispered, "The fourth prince is here." ”

The queen looked at the door, and sure enough, Shen Chenmo was standing there with a gloomy face, dumb and cold, anyone could see that Shen Chenmo was in a very bad mood at this time.

The queen put the bird food in her hand back into the hands of the maid, and made a look at the maid, and the maid understood, and retreated with the rest of the palace people.

When there was no one else in the courtyard, the queen still teased the parrot in front of her, and asked nonchalantly, "What's wrong?" What's upset about it, say it and listen to it? ”

Shen Chenmo walked to the queen's side, let out a long sigh of relief, and said in a half-loud voice, "Su Chengtuo is back." ”

The queen nodded, "I already knew this, what if he came back, even if he retains his official position, but he still has no real power, even if the emperor reuses him, he doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

"But my father gave most of the military power in Wei Qingshan's hands to Su Chengtuo!"

The queen raised her eyebrows, her eyes taking away from the parrot, "Oh? More than half? How many? It should be a lot to make you care so much, right? Ten thousand? Twenty thousand? ”

Looking at the still calm appearance of the queen in front of him, Shen Chenmo lowered his head, "Thirty thousand!" ”

"Smack!" With a bang, the queen knocked out the cage of the parrot next to her, and the parrot seemed to be frightened by something, fluttering in its own cage, and its mouth was also learning Shen Chenmo to shout, "Thirty thousand!" Thirty thousand! ”

"How do you do things! 30,000 soldiers! That's half of it! That's pretty much everything! The queen almost roared these words, looking at Shen Chenmo who was bowing his head in front of her, and the anger in her heart did not hit anywhere!

"You know how hard it took this palace to gradually hand over the military power in the capital to you, although Wei Qingshan is the one who holds the military power, but he still obeys your orders! Now Su Chengtuo takes it! That person's temperament is almost hard and soft! You've disappointed Hongu! ”

Looking at the angry queen, Shen Chenmo was also very helpless. "This is said by the father himself, and no one can refute it. I originally wanted to exchange the strength of more than 10,000 Imperial Guards in the hands of the imperial brother for our 30,000 soldiers, but my father didn't eat it! Instead, he handed over the more than 10,000 military power to Jiang Heng! ”

The queen raised an eyebrow, "What did you say?" ”

Shen Chenmo swallowed the saliva in his mouth, he understood that the current queen was already in a state of rage, but he had no way to comfort the queen, so he could only speak softly, "Queen Mother!" It's the incompetence of the sons! Please punish the queen mother! ”

The queen eased her mind and walked towards the palace, and Shen Chenmo hurriedly followed. The queen sat on the high seat, took a sip of the herbal tea on the table, looked at Shen Chenmo who was kneeling on the ground, and calmed down the anger in her heart.

"Get up! I don't blame you for this! How does the emperor want to distribute the troops, no one dares to say no! It's none of your business! The emperor prefers the one in the East Palace, and it's not a day or two! ”

"The imperial brother has grown in fledges over the years, Jiang Heng is the eldest grandson of Jiang Taifu, and he has always been respected by civil officials. Originally, we could have some bargaining chips in military power, but now it is also in the hands of uncertain people, what should we do? ”

Shen Chenmo got up from the ground and looked at the queen mother on the high seat, his brows wrinkled unconsciously. If there is anything that makes the emperor and Shen Cuobai scruple over the years, it is just the military power in their hands, but now they are not completely sure, isn't it already defeated without a fight? Could it be that all these years of hard work have to be in vain because of the appearance of one person?

"Not sure? What's uncertain? Do you think Su Chengtuo will be bought by you? He's not Wei Qingshan! You don't know him, but this palace is clear, his psychology is only the emperor alone, so the emperor has been treating him favorably for so many years! ”

"Everyone will have weaknesses, even his father will have his own weaknesses, let alone a Su Chengtuo! As long as we find Su Chengtuo's weakness, we don't believe that he will not listen to us! Shen Chenmo said quietly, his tone was full of confidence!

When the queen heard Shen Chenmo's words, she thought carefully, "Yes! He also has weaknesses! His sister! It's his biggest weakness! But Su Chengbi has the title of Mrs. Yipin, even if it is the palace, he has to be afraid of three points, and it is even more difficult to do it! ”

Hearing what the queen said, Shen Chenmo's face showed a faint smile, seeing Shen Chenmo's smile, the queen was a little confused, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Shen Chenmo saluted the queen and said, "The queen mother can rest assured!" Naturally, the sons have their own methods! Interlocking! If it can't be used by us, then we can only make them as perfect as possible to live up to them! ”
