Chapter 546: The Inevitable Trade-off

The news of Geng Liangcheng's capture soon spread to the Northwest Wangcheng, which was the last day for Shen Xihe to keep a vigil for Shen Yueshan.

"County Lord, I'm going to Tingzhou in person." Wei Ya walked in front of Shen Xihe in a military uniform, holding a helmet, and with a serious face.

Shen Xihe glanced at him, glanced back, and Pearl who was standing beside her immediately squatted down and saluted, and then took everyone away, leaving only Wei Ya and her in the room.

"Brother went to Tingzhou, and Uncle Wei can stay here." Shen Xihe said frankly.

"The prince went to Tingzhou?" Wei Ya, who can suspect Geng Liangcheng, is so keen? Immediately, he heard a lot of information from this sentence, "The county lord and the prince knew that the Turks would attack the city? ”

Wei Ya was born in the northwest, he was sensible, the war between the northwest and the Turks has not stopped, until Shen Yueshan unified the northwest, in exchange for nearly ten years of peace and quiet, he is not afraid of war, but he has been devastated by the war, he does not like to fight.

I don't like someone to deliberately provoke a war in order to plot interests, you must know that in this war, Tingzhou almost fell, and now the news reported that the northwest has lost thousands of children.

"Brother only went after the war." Shen Xihe looked at Wei Ya and clenched the fingertips holding his helmet, "Brother and I, never thought that the Turks would send troops to attack the city, but this matter has nothing to do with me......

Shen Xihe faked Shen Yueshan's death, initially just teamed up with Xiao Huayong, the purpose was simply to hope that she could leave Kyoto because of this, and then seek her father's name to participate in her brother's wedding.

Among them, Xiao Huayong played a key role, she really didn't expect to trigger a Turkic war, she thought that the long-term thing was to frustrate His Majesty's prestige, and then by the way, pull out the minions belonging to His Majesty in the northwest, Xiao Changtai was not in her calculations.

But Xiao Changtai must be in Xiao Huayong's calculations, all things, Xiao Huayong must have expected, she did not blame Xiao Huayong for this, nor was she qualified to blame, this sin was caused by her and should be borne by her.

Wei Ya listened to Shen Xihe's words, except for Xiao Juesong who was pretending to be Xiao Huayong, Shen Xihe told Wei Ya everything.

Wei Ya's eyes turned slightly for a while, he had mixed feelings in his heart, he didn't feel that this was Xiao Huayong's fault, because he thought a little more than Shen Xihe, since Shen Yueshan didn't really die, he wanted to stop this war, in fact, it was very simple, as long as he appeared in Tingzhou, he would definitely be able to sweep the Turks, but Shen Yueshan didn't go now.

is because they all need Geng Liangcheng to become a criminal minister who collaborates with the enemy and treason, and only in this way can they still be united.

They have experienced too many life and death tribulations between them, and with Shen Yueshan intact, Shen Yueshan got the evidence that Geng Liangcheng threw himself into Emperor Youning, and there will still be people who plead, Shen Yueshan has the evidence that Geng Liangcheng wants to kill Shen Yunan, unless Shen Yunan is really dead, there will still be people who will take out the love of the year to consume.

If Shen Yueshan agrees, it will be tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, and he will not be able to severely punish other rebels in the future, which is a violation of the rules; But if Shen Yueshan disagrees, there will inevitably be people who are close to Geng Liangcheng, or who have been favored by Geng Liangcheng, who feel that Shen Yueshan is not close to people.

They will condemn Shen Yueshan, and they will feel that Shen Yueshan is no longer the general who shared the hardships with them, but just the king of the Northwest who is high above, and they will be separated from Shen Yueshan.

Once there is a crack in the heart of unity, and then instigate it, or someone deliberately creates contradictions, the rift will become bigger and bigger, and more people will rebel against the northwest, which is why Emperor Youning wants to pry Geng Liangcheng.

Only Geng Liangcheng's greed for life and fear of death, and his collusion with the Turks, can make these people feel that he is innocent of death.

This is human nature, when it does not touch its own bottom line and interfere with its own interests, it always remembers the kindness with the executioner, hoping that others will treat the executioner leniently, if it is not lenient, it means that this person has changed or has no heart to tolerate others.

Wei Ya let out a long sigh, seeing Shen Xihe's dim eyes, he was exquisitely thoughtful, and immediately understood the guilt in Shen Xihe's heart: "County Lord, don't think too much. Since Geng Liangcheng has taken refuge in His Majesty, if he doesn't want to get rid of it cleanly, the sacrifice will be far more than that......"

If there was no Geng Liangcheng's lurking, Shen Yueshan would not have really pretended to be dead, Xiao Changtai would have a three-inch incorruptible tongue, Shen Yueshan was not dead, and he would not be able to muster the determination of the Turkic king to attack.

"Thank you, Uncle Wei, for your relief." Shen Xihe smiled reluctantly, she raised her eyes to look at the blue sky in the northwest, it was obviously cloudless, maybe the sun was too dazzling, which made her feel covered with a layer of dust, "I just don't like this feeling......"

The superiors fought openly and secretly, but it was those innocent soldiers who suffered.

Shen Xihe and Xiao Huayong's layout has never been different, not because she can't lay out the overall situation, but because she doesn't like to implicate too many people, especially innocent people, how sad is it to be easily controlled by others without knowing anything?

"County Lord, the prince is in this position, and sometimes there is no way not to make some trade-offs. We all want both, but there are not so many ways to do both. This is already the least sacrifice. ”

If you don't kill Geng Liangcheng and keep him by your side, the consequences will be unimaginable.

If you want to kill Geng Liangcheng, you have to kill everyone to convince them, and the trumped-up charge can only be a time bomb, a bomb that will blow up the northwest to pieces.

Geng Liangcheng is so cautious and wins the hearts of the people in the northwest, Shen Yueshan can't even if he wants to demote him slowly. What's more, the danger of not naming him is to get him down, and he can also use his former good brother to easily spy on the Northwest secrets.

Shen Xihe is not a bull-horned character, nor is she a benevolent person, she just thinks of those young sons and daughters who died under the Turkic knife in Tingzhou, and the cause of this matter started from her incident, it is inevitable that she will feel a little sorry in her heart, but it is only regret.

Do it all over again, even if she knows this result, she has no way to change this choice, everyone has a selfish side, she can't let the Shen family take risks, the moment she learns that Geng Liangcheng is a traitor, to get rid of him, you need the most irrefutable charge.

Whether it is those soldiers in Shen Yueshan, Geng Liangcheng's brothers, or those people in the northwest who trust Geng Liangcheng, they must have a reason why they can't forgive Geng Liangcheng, so that they will not be angry because of Geng Liangcheng's death.

Since Shen Yueshan and Shen Yunan both went to Tingzhou, Wei Ya only took pictures of people and then went to reinforce them, and did not leave in person.
