Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

The soldiers were dissatisfied. Shen Boyi did not resolve the conflict between himself and his subordinates first, but insisted on implementing the anti-Japanese formation in the face of dissatisfaction. The situation was of course worse.

Soon, Shaoxing Prefecture was invaded by a small group of Japanese pirates. Shen Boyi was gearing up. Feeling that this was a good opportunity, he rushed forward to meet the enemy with his newly trained Five Elements Formation, but was defeated.

There were more than 70 Japanese pirates and a hundred of our soldiers. They formed [-] small five-element formations, but they collapsed at the first touch, losing nearly [-] people.There were almost no casualties on the Japanese side, and the battle was one-sided. With such a huge gap, this battle was a shame for our country.

The anti-Japanese formation failed as soon as it was put into practice. Shen Boyi suffered a huge blow and lived in seclusion on weekdays, rarely showing up.At the same time, Zhejiang officials, big and small, had many opinions on him, which gradually became an uproar, and impeachment rumors flew to Emperor Jingfeng's case like snowflakes.

The memorials in front of him were piled up like a hill. Emperor Jingfeng picked up one and it was for the impeachment of Shen Boyi. He picked up another one and it was still for the impeachment of Shen Boyi. There were many reasons for impeachment, none of which were the same, but without exception they were all the same. He is accusing Shen Boyi of being unworthy of his position.

Emperor Jingfeng felt irritable when he saw it, so he simply put down his words and pressed the small bell at his hand.The bell rang loudly, and Ning Fuhai came in from outside and respectfully presented a pill.

Emperor Jingfeng now takes pills more and more frequently, from one pill a day at the beginning to two pills a day, and now when he encounters something unpleasant, he takes pills to calm his anger.

After taking the elixir, Emperor Jingfeng's complexion improved significantly. He slowly exhaled a breath and said, "It has only been less than a month since Shen Baiyi took office. There are so many people who can't stand him. I don't know." When did the officials in Zhejiang become so united and gang up to bully him?"

Shen Boyi has never been on the battlefield, has qualifications, but no military merit. This time he is going to Zhejiang to take up a post as a second-rank official. Not to mention Zhejiang, the capital city is exploding.It was Emperor Jingfeng who fought against all opinions and insisted that he be the commander of the capital.

Now that Shen Baiyi has arrived in Zhejiang, he has not made any achievements. Instead, he has caused a lot of trouble and attracted dissatisfaction from many parties, even bringing shame to Emperor Jingfeng himself.

"Not all officials in Zhejiang are dissatisfied with Mr. Shen, at least one person affirms him."

After Cheng Yan became the doctor of the Literary and Selection Department of the Ministry of Personnel, he became very busy to the naked eye. However, Emperor Jingfeng still often summoned him to the imperial study room to discuss matters. His favor continued, and he attracted the envious eyes of many people.

As he spoke, Cheng Yan took out the book with Gu Yunji's name written on it from the pile of memorials and handed it to Emperor Jingfeng with a smile: "For example, Mr. Gu, the prefect of Shaoxing, once praised Mr. Shen."

Emperor Jingfeng took the memorial and looked at it. Gu Yunji didn't say anything else. He avoided Shen Boyi's conduct and style of doing things. He only said that the anti-Japanese formation he studied was very sophisticated. Even if it failed, it was still worth investing in the experiment.

After all, it was the person he recommended, but Emperor Jingfeng's heart still tilted towards Shen Boyi. When he saw someone holding similar views to himself, his brows relaxed and the depression in his heart dissipated a lot.

However, Emperor Jingfeng changed his mind and remembered that Cheng Yan and Gu Yunji had known each other for many years, and he could accurately find out each other's memorials for him to read, and asked with a half-smile: "Others are saying how bad Shen Baiyi is, but Even if Gu Yunji goes against them, he's not afraid of being hated by others?"

Cheng Yan smiled slightly and said calmly and honestly: "I have known Master Gu since I was young. Based on my understanding of him, he rarely praises people sincerely. When all the officials unanimously impeached Master Shen, how can he make such a trick? It shows that he agrees with Lord Shen’s method from the bottom of his heart and feels that Lord Shen is right.”

"In this case, there are only two possibilities. One is that Master Shen's anti-Japanese formation is indeed correct, and Master Gu has a keen eye for talents; as for the other -"

Speaking of this, Cheng Yan paused and deliberately let it slip, with a smile in his tone: "That means Master Gu is incompetent and went to the wrong place with Master Shen." Emperor Jingfeng was startled when he heard this, and then laughed.

What Cheng Yan said is interesting, either both people are right, or both people are wrong - even they themselves do not realize that they are wrong.This way, the possibility of a private friendship between the two was eliminated so that Emperor Jingfeng would not think that Gu Yunji had colluded with the people he sent in such a short period of time.

Seeing Emperor Jingfeng smiling, Cheng Yan relaxed slightly and sighed in his heart: His Majesty's suspicions are getting more and more serious, and he is testing him all the time.

Emperor Jingfeng read Gu Yunji's memorial again and sighed: "When I sent Shen Baiyi to Zhejiang, it was mainly because of his anti-Japanese formation. It was very novel and might really change the anti-Japanese situation along the coast. I didn't expect Gu You and I have the same view."

"I also think we should continue to study. We can't give up when we encounter some setbacks. What can we accomplish?"

After saying that, Emperor Jingfeng's eyes fell on the pile of impeachment memorials again, and he frowned slightly: "The same goes for Shen Boyi. I asked him to be an official, not to make enemies. He has offended so many people in less than a month. How will people fight against Japanese pirates in the future?"

"Sure enough, military attachés who are trained in martial arts are still different from generals who are trained through hard work on the battlefield. Not to mention that Shen Boyi only has the ability to talk on paper. The key point is that he has never been on the battlefield and has no military merits that he can achieve. How to convince the public?”

Cheng Yanwen said softly: "Master Shen is obsessed with the art of war and specializes in strategy. He is not on the same path as those generals who fight on the battlefield. Everyone has different areas of expertise. We cannot ask Mr. Kong Ming to strategize and win the battle thousands of miles away." In addition, you also require him to single-handedly kill seven in and seven out of the enemy, right?"

Emperor Jingfeng was amused by his words: "Who is Mr. Kong Ming? How can Shen Baiyi be compared with him? You think too highly of Shen Baiyi. But you are right about one thing. Everyone has different strengths. Shen Boyi's advantage lies in He is good at strategy and theory, but not very good at actual combat and controlling his subordinates.”

"However, he is indeed talented. I believe he can make a great career in Zhejiang, but this won't work. It would be great if he had someone who is proficient in combat and military training to assist him..."

Most of the existing military attaches belong to different factions. Emperor Jingfeng hopes to cultivate his own military generals, so he will never dismiss Shen Baiyi easily.But Shen Boyi was lacking in abilities. He couldn't bear such a big burden by himself, so he had to find someone to help him.

It would be best to help Shen Baiyi grow up step by step, and then retire and leave after he is able to stand alone.

Generals who are proficient in combat training all have great military exploits and are in important positions. Who would give up their original job to help Emperor Jingfeng "forge swords" and be his foil for Shen Baiyi?Either they don’t want to come, or they don’t want to leave after they come. After all, no one is willing to make wedding clothes for others.

Emperor Jingfeng thought hard for a long time, but could not think of a suitable candidate, so he asked Cheng Yan: "Cheng Yan, you are currently handling the promotion of officials in the Ministry of Personnel, do you think there are suitable talents who can go to Zhejiang to help Shen Baiyi fight against the Japanese?"

Cheng Yan smiled calmly: "Weichen does have a candidate."

"who?"

"Dingguo Gong, Su Qi."
