Chapter 64: Monopoly of power
After returning to the Shen family, Shen Yuan summoned the elders again.
"The new emperor ascended the throne, and the situation in the court was not stable, so it was delayed for some time."
"Summoning you today, there is no big deal, that is, the elder pavilion system set up in the Shen family will be abolished."
Several elders had unkind faces.
"What do you mean, master?"
"The Pavilion of Elders has stood in the Shen clan for many years, it is a symbol, but also a kind of inheritance, how can it be said that it will be abolished?"
"yes, I'm not going to say yes."
"No promise?" Shen Yuan said contemptuously, "Your Majesty's holy purpose is this, if you don't obey, you will disobey the order!" ”
"Are you going to blaspheme the emperor? At that time, Hugh blamed the head of the family for killing his relatives in righteousness. ”
Shen Yuan said, and threw the holy decree on the round table.
Several elders are not stupid, what can a five or six-year-old child of Empress Qianrou understand? It must be the meaning of Shen Yuan.
But the problem is, even if you know all this, there is no point!
On the surface, this is the holy decree of the empress! If you don't comply, it's a rebellion!
They can't afford to be charged.
In fact, from Wei Qi's rebellion, to Ji Yaochi's disappearance, and finally Qianrou's accession to the throne, all of this is really too strange, and they also noticed that something was wrong.
However, what is the detailed process, Shen Yuan has done a drip-tight job, how can they find out?
No wonder when Empress Yaochi invited Shen Yuan to a banquet, he only brought a Youruo with him and didn't let anyone follow.
It seems that it must be what happened in Jiahe Palace that day.
And now that it is too late to know this, the Empress Saint aims to do this, and they have to grit their teeth and agree.
If they resist again, Shen Yuan will really use the crime of resisting the decree against them.
Who is Shen Yuan, they still don't know? The cousin of the childhood sweetheart, the eyes are also said to be gouged out, and when dealing with these old guys, will they be merciful?
At that moment, the Great Elder smiled stupidly.
"Since it is His Majesty's will, then I will naturally obey the order. Tomorrow I will move out of the Elders' Pavilion and step down as an elder. ”
"Even Your Majesty, you can't interfere too much in the affairs of my Shen family, right?" The Eighth Elder was still unconvinced, "Tomorrow I will enter the palace to face the saint and ask for an explanation!" ”
"Your Majesty has worked hard for the state affairs of the Northern Qi Dynasty, working day and night, how can you see it if you want to see it? She doesn't have time to see you! Shen Yuan said coldly, "As for intervening in our Shen family, it is Your Majesty's Emperor who is merciful and cares for us, how dare you live up to Her Majesty's intentions?" Well?! ”
The Great Elder hurriedly grabbed the Eighth Elder and motioned for him not to continue.
Still don't get it? The empress is just Shen Yuan's puppet, and Shen Yuan just has a good reason to keep her.
They can't fight the abyss now, so don't hit the muzzle of the gun.
The Eighth Elder was also angry, and was pulled by the Great Elder to calm down a little before he felt a little afraid.
"As the so-called one who knows the times is a handsome, it is really the great elder who has a heroic spirit."
Seeing that the Great Elder was the first to cooperate, Shen Yuan still rewarded him with a word of praise.
"What about the other elders? Can you have any objections? ”
After several elders looked at each other, they could only sigh and shake their heads helplessly.
"Well, from now on, the head of the family announces that the Elders' Pavilion will be abolished, and the elders will no longer have the power to impeach the head of the family. In addition to the law enforcement elders, the other nine elder seats will be abolished! ”
When the assembly ended, all the elders left in disgrace.
Shen Yuan walked side by side with Shen Zhi, the elder of law enforcement, on crutches.
"The head of the family, since the Empress Yaochi has passed away and the new emperor has ascended the throne, why don't the head of the family ask the Empress Qianrou to dispatch the Tai Hospital to treat your leg disease?"
For the leg disease, Shen Yuan chose to hide it, and now there are not many people who know this secret.
On the day of the battle with the Empress, Shen Yuan reversed control the imperial weapon, and the power caused by the imperial weapon made it impossible for those ordinary Praetorian Guards to get close to half a minute, so they couldn't see the details of the battle, and naturally they wouldn't know that Shen Yuan's leg disease had been cured long ago.
There are only four people who know the truth.
Ji Yaochi, Wei Qi, Pei Jianghai, Youruo.
Now that Ji Yaochi and Wei Qi are dead, you don't need to worry, only Pei Jianghai is left, knowing that her leg disease has healed.
However, he was clearly not a long-tongued man and did not publicize it.
And Shen Zhi also knew very well in his heart that the head of the family had long wanted to treat his leg disease, but he was afraid that the treatment of leg disease would be known by Empress Yaochi, which made her more vigilant, so it was not launched for a long time.
Now that the Empress Yaochi is dead, naturally there is no need to have such scruples.
"I think that's good." Shen Yuan waved his hand indifferently, "I think it's pretty good to be a cripple." ”
Shen Zhi was silent.
"You know what? I used to like to run, and I liked that feeling, the feeling of being ahead of others. ”
"But after the lameness, I couldn't run. It was very slow, but it was because I was walking slowly that I was able to see the scenery along the way. Those are the scenery that I missed when I was running. ”
"When I learned to run, I only had the front in my eyes. And when I was lame and could only move slowly step by step, my eyes saw the scenery around me and the vast universe. ”
"So, it's good to be lame, isn't it?"
After listening to these words, Shen Zhi seemed to have some understanding, and there were faint signs of a breakthrough in understanding.
Of course, this philosophy still needs to be digested by him.
"Thank you for your advice."
Shen Yuan changed his words.
"Xiao'er's pair of pupils should still be with you."
"Yes, she was taken to Qingzhou Tangkou by Shen Yi, and before she went, she wanted to take away this pair of eye pupils, but I stopped her."
"Hmm. Give this pair of pupils to Youruo. ”
"Huh?" As a law enforcement elder, Shen Zhi hesitated a little, "According to the third chapter of the Shen family rules, the twelfth subsection, the inheritance of the lineage cannot be passed on to the collateral lineage, slaves and maids, and outsiders ......."
Shen Yuan stopped, turned to him, and looked into his eyes.
"Then change this family rule."
Shen Zhi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, forcibly hiding the panic and fear in his heart.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem? ”
"I didn't ...... No problem......"
"That's right." Shen Yuan smiled, "Then there will be an elder of the labor law enforcement, so let's send it here." ”
Shen Yuan said, holding on to his crutches and slowly walking away, until his figure completely disappeared from Shen Zhi's sight, Shen Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Yuan's sense of oppression is a little too strong, that is not the oppression that a half-step supreme can bring!
But Shen Zhi was a smart person, so he didn't ask much.
If he hadn't been wise, he wouldn't have been left with a single seat of law enforcement elder when he was dismissed today.
Smart people generally know how to shut up.
