Chapter 586 Shen Yitong's Invitation

Both Shi Xing and Song Yingchang had such thoughts, let alone Yu Jideng.

He is the real Prime Minister. Although he is acting as an agent, he is always closer and more justifiable than others. He has reason to believe that when the ministers finalize the list of recommenders, he must be ranked first. one.

For this reason, he decided to go back immediately and mobilize his own power to help him build momentum. Once this momentum is created, things will be sure.

Shen Yiguan remained silent, waiting for the eunuch to finish reading the emperor's edict. Zhao Zhigao took over the edict. Everyone talked about what to do in the future, and they said goodbye to each other and prepared to go back to do things. This time they have to make a big news. .

Shen Yiguan returned to his duty room, ate a cup of tea, made some pastries to satisfy his hunger, and after thinking about something, he ordered his confidants to send letters to Shi Xing and Song Yingchang, asking them to come to his home after leaving duty. Briefly, the intention is very obvious.

But Shi Xing and Song Yingchang were veterans in the officialdom, they knew this clearly, their hearts beat violently.

At this sensitive moment, Shi Xing and Song Yingchang had already sensed what Shen Yiguan was looking for the two of them, but they were still a little puzzled. This matter is true, what can Shen Yiguan do to make them realize their ideals?

After returning home, the two changed their court clothes and put on ordinary clothes. In order to hide their eyes and ears, they deliberately went out from the door of the house, and came to Shen's mansion cautiously in an ordinary sedan chair.

When they arrived at Shen's mansion, the two looked at each other, stared at each other, and then took out Shen Yitong's letter together in an extremely tacit understanding. The two understood something, nodded together, and entered the Shen's mansion hand in hand.

Shen Yiguan warmly entertained the two of them, and served them with a table of good dishes. At the banquet, they only chatted about romance and not state affairs, which made them very embarrassed, and they didn't know whether they should talk about things. Well, Fengyue didn't enjoy the chat too, but Shen Yiguan didn't seem to care.

After drinking for three rounds, Shen Guanyi asked his family to remove the dishes and replace them with tea and refreshments.

Shi Xing and Song Yingchang suddenly realized that Shen Yiguan was going to talk about business.

"There are so many difficulties in the country, military disasters, as the second assistant, the servant failed to do his best, and I feel deeply ashamed. I can't eat well, and I can't sleep well. I am worried every day, because I can't do what I want. Worrying about the things that should be done, this day is getting worse day by day."

Shen Yiguan seemed to be ironic at himself. Shi Xing and Song Yingchang were sarcastic on the surface, but they kept complaining about the meal just now. Shen Yiguan ate a lot, but the younger Shi Xing and Song Yingchang ate very little.

However, Shen Yiguan's words were obviously not finished.

"Fortunately, the Guochao was full of talented people, generation after generation. Xiao Zhennan turned out to be born, and won three consecutive battles for my Ming Dynasty, oh no, it was four battles. The Battle of Ningxia, the Battle of North Korea, and the Battle of Dongwu Kingdom , and the previous crusade against Franjiyi in Luzon, he was really an indispensable general for the Ming Dynasty.

This time I went to Datong, Shanxi again, with Xiao Zhennan here, I am not worried about the war in Datong, Shanxi, Shibutang, I also want to thank you for promoting Xiao Zhennan, Song Butang, I also thank you for being here North Korea supported Xiao Zhennan, you are all his Bole! "

Shi Xing and Song Yingchang hurriedly said they didn't dare to do it.

"What is there not to dare to do? If you dare to do it, you must dare to do it! Now Xiao Zhennan has made such great contributions to the country, and you all have credit for it. After Xiao Zhennan quelled the Datong Rebellion in Shanxi this time, you will be even more with me!" You are honored, Your Majesty likes Xiao Zhennan very much, this is all thanks to you!"

Shen Yiguan looked at Shi Xing and Song Yingchang meaningfully.

Shi Xing and Song Yingchang immediately realized what Shen Yiguan meant, but before they could speak, Shen Yiguan spoke again.

"This time, His Majesty asked the courtiers to recommend candidates who can join the cabinet. It was because Zhao Shoufu was old, and Shen Ge and I were unable to support the cabinet affairs. That's why he asked the cabinet to add cabinet members. However, this is not just a little thought of His Majesty. Can you two see it?"

Shi Xing and Song Yingchang looked at each other, as if they didn't see anything.

"Here, let's ask His Majesty to appoint Xiao Zhennan as the Governor-General, with full power to manage the war in Datong, Shanxi. Over there, His Majesty issued an edict to the cabinet to supplement the cabinet members. This means that it could not be more clear. Your Majesty is to the cabinet to promote Xiao Zhennan to become the Governor-General. He was very satisfied with the matter, so he reciprocated and agreed to add cabinet members to the cabinet.

After Chen Ge died of illness, the number of people in the cabinet has been small. Zhao Shoufu is now old, and he seems to be out of energy. However, His Majesty has never sent an edict to the cabinet, but at this time he gave the edict. It is all because of Xiao Zhen Nan, His Majesty's favor for Xiao Zhennan is not ordinary. "

Shi Xing suddenly realized, and said, "Elder Ge means that His Majesty's actions are all because of Xiao Zhennan?"

Shen Yiguan nodded.

"Otherwise? Why did His Majesty recall Xiao Zhennan from Burma to lead the Shanxi Datong war without telling everyone? That is because in His Majesty's view, everyone is untrustworthy, only Xiao Zhennan is the most credible. I heard that Xiao Zhennan The reason why you can become the main general in the North Korean campaign is because His Majesty favors you?"

Shi Xing nodded: "At that time, the dispute between Xiao and Li was very fierce, and the Ministry of War didn't know how to choose, until His Majesty issued an order and named Xiao Zhennan's name, presumably His Majesty was more satisfied with Xiao Zhennan, so Xiao Zhennan South was able to go to Korea."

"That's right. The dispute over the nation's capital is just like the big ceremony in the past. It hurt the harmony of the monarch and his ministers. Nowadays, most officials offended His Majesty when they were fighting for the nation's foundation. His Majesty doesn't like these people very much. Now they are in the cabinet. Among them, including the old man, they were all people who were not firm at the time. Shen Zhonghua was different. He was once His Majesty's teacher.

I'm not going to lie to you. Those who were too fierce in the fight for the country back then had no possibility of entering the cabinet. His Majesty must choose someone who is not tough. Another point is that if he and Xiao Zhennan If you have a good relationship, that would be even better, Shibutang, Songbutang, you are all on the list. "

Shi Xing and Song Yingchang's hearts were pounding.

Shen Yiguan really has this thought!
Song Yingchang reacted immediately.

"The elder Ge meant that Yu Butang..."

"That's right, Yu Jideng has absolutely no possibility of entering the cabinet. I can tell you clearly that the people His Majesty wants to choose are all people who can give up some reputation for His Majesty. They have a bad reputation among the officials, and even some Hatred people, such as the old man, the relationship between the old man and Yushitai's gang of officials is very bad."

Shi Xing and Song Yingchang finally understood what Shen Yiguan meant, and the emperor's thoughts.

They absolutely could not have imagined that the decisions and actions at the beginning would bring about such a turning point now!
However the problem remains.

They were not from Hanlin.
