Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 363 Showdown with Shen Wenqing
Shen Wenqing got up and knelt on the ground respectfully, with her head lowered.

"Is there nothing to say?"

Feng Jin looked at him condescendingly, and said coldly, Shen Wenqing didn't raise his head, and said in a low voice, "I have nothing to say."

"Is there nothing to say, or dare not say?"

Feng Jin's voice was piercingly cold, exuding a fearsome awe and awe-inspiring momentum, "If you have nothing to say, why did you talk so much nonsense before? If you dare not say it, I don't believe it, you have the guts to hurt me If you have the guts to offend me and disobey me, don’t you have the guts to justify yourself now?”

Shen Wenqing lowered her head even lower and said nothing.

"If you don't say it, pack up your things and go back to Jiangnan tomorrow morning. Yu Shitai will choose another talented person."

Shen Wenqing raised her head abruptly, and looked at Feng Jin in disbelief. From the empress' cold expression, Shen Wenqing knew that the empress was not threatening him, nor joking with him.

"My minister has been with His Majesty for almost two years. He has been loyal and led the nobles in the south of the Yangtze River to help His Majesty govern the government and balance the court. After going through hardships, His Majesty is so cruel? Just abandon it?"

Feng Jin snorted coldly and said nothing, Shen Wenqing sighed faintly, "That's right, now that the court is stable, His Majesty has power in his hands, and Wuming has also risen, the humble minister has become a useless outcast..."

Feng Jin remained silent the entire time, looking at Shen Wenqing with deep and gloomy eyes, Shen Wenqing gradually couldn't continue speaking, her voice became lower and lower, and finally disappeared into silence.

It was quiet in the handsome tent, Feng Jin looked down at him with a cold expression, "Why don't you continue talking?"

Shen Wenqing was silent, Feng Jin sneered, "Is it because I can't continue, or because I feel guilty?"

Shen Wenqing remained silent, and the sneer on Feng Jin's lips became more and more conspicuous, "Since you don't want to talk about it, let me help you talk about it, it's my love for you. Don't you want to talk about love with me? Then I will tell you You talk."

"You have been with me for a year and a half, and you are loyal and dedicated. You can handle most of the things I entrust to you. I will always remember your love for me. Then have I ever treated you badly? Rabbits die and dogs cook, crossing rivers and demolishing bridges? Can you kill heroes after you have achieved great success?"

Shen Wenqing remained silent the whole time, his head was so heavy that he could hardly lift it up, Feng Jin's sonorous and forceful voice fell on his ears, cutting his ears with every word and knife.

"I don't give you the prime minister because you can't afford it. You are too weak and soft when things happen. You should be decisive and ruthless. Even if you hate Wuming, you only dare to say a few words to sow dissension and slander his prestige. And dare not drag him down for real, how can you afford the chancellor of the country like this? How dare I hand over Da Zhou to you?"

"The Yushi Terrace is the most important place I can give you. No matter how important it is, I dare not give it to you, and you can't bear the burden. You know it yourself!"

"I let you lead the Jiangnan faction, gave you prestige, and let you compete with the Qi family and the Pei party. On the one hand, it is my balance technique. On the other hand, isn't it what I see in the past as friendship, promoting you and supporting you? Otherwise, with the faction of the Jiangnan gentry, can't I change to someone who is more obedient? And keep someone who knows so many secrets about me and puts me in danger?"

"Shen Wenqing, it's not what it used to be. I have my own generals, I have prestige in the army, Wuming has also risen, Yushitai is in my hands, three of the six departments are completely in my hands, and the Ministry of Rites is an old fritter. , the Pei party only has the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War. Even the Ministry of War, I have infiltrated it now. Most of the generals who accompanied me to the expedition belonged to Li Yi's party, but now they have connections with Qi Che and Wuming. , Li Yi’s party is no longer monolithic.”

"You have to know that I need the Jiangnan gentry and the Qi family to fight against the Pei Party, but it is not as necessary as before. The Jiangnan gentry can have it or not. Even if the Jiangnan gentry is left behind, I don't need you. A chess piece that is more obedient, loyal and submissive, that Tang Yun from last time is not bad."

Tang Yun was the one who had a conflict with the Li family and protected Feng Jin last time on the boat on the Suzhou River in the south of the Yangtze River.

Shen Wenqing didn't expect Feng Jin to always remember Tang Yun, and even planned to let Tang Yun replace him. He raised his head in shock, and looked at Feng Jin in shock, "Your Majesty has already made arrangements..."

"If you were still the old Shen Wenqing, I would not make other arrangements, but you are no longer."

Feng Jin said calmly, she looked at Shen Wenqing's disheveled face, "Wenqing, don't erase the last ounce of my love for you."

These words hit Shen Wenqing's heart like a heavy hammer, and he sat on the ground slumped, his face ashen.

"The humble minister is not the humble minister of the past, so why was your majesty the former majesty?"

Shen Wenqing smiled wryly, Feng Jin gave him a deep look, "My heart has never changed, it is the same as before."

"That's right, Your Majesty has never changed. Your Majesty has always been ruthless. He used to deal with Tang Zhongde's family. He used it whenever he wanted to use it, and killed him when he wanted to. For the Pei family, Pei Yu and Pei Yu, one died and the other became a fool." In order to win over Zhong Mo, he appointed the grandson of the King of Zhongshan as the crown prince, and handed over the position of crown prince, and now His Majesty is pregnant and has kept it a secret, because he was worried that Zhong Mo would find out and lead troops to rebel, right?"

Feng Jin's eyes flickered slightly, and Shen Wenqing's expression became strange, "What would happen if Zhong Mo found out about His Majesty's pregnancy? What would happen to this war against the Huns?"

Feng Jin's eyes darkened, and he sneered, "What? Do you want to report the news?"

Shen Wenqing didn't answer, and continued, "Your Majesty is so anxious to support Wuming, and wants him to take over the military power, because he is afraid that his stomach will grow bigger and he can't hide it anymore. If Zhong Mo finds out, something will happen, right? So, I want to Before the news of the pregnancy leaks out, let Wuming have his own army and military power, so that even if Zhong Mo rebels, he can still resist."

Feng Jin's face was very gloomy, this was indeed her plan.

"The crown prince, His Majesty must want to take it back, but Zhong Mo and King Zhongshan probably won't agree?"

Feng Jin's eyes flickered slightly, and he said coldly, "I will give that child the highest rank of prince, give him the richest fiefdom, and I will also add Zhongshan King and Zhong Mo."

"Prince? How can you compare with the emperor? How can you compare with the world if you are a fief?"

Shen Wenqing's handsome face was full of mocking smiles, "People's desires are hard to get rid of together, Your Majesty knows it well, doesn't he?"

Feng Jin's gaze became deep and cold, "Wenqing, you have said so much and haven't told me yet, do you want to report the news?"

Shen Wenqing smiled slightly, and said meaningfully, "My minister and His Majesty have always had a friendship, but if this friendship will be wiped out, it will still depend on His Majesty's actions."

Feng Jin stared at him intently, and suddenly smiled with her lips curled up. The smile was cold and weird, "Shen Wenqing, a 16-year-old top scholar, is really smart! But some of them are just clever, no wonder they can't compare to Pei Xiu! I thought to myself, Even if Pei Xiu was not Prime Minister Pei back then, but a student who rushed to the exam with you, went to high school with you, and entered the official career together, in less than three years, you and him will be far apart, and there is only one ending in the end, you You will be crushed by him and unable to turn over."

Shen Wenqing's complexion was very ugly, and he was suppressed by Pei Xiu. It had been a thorn in his heart since he was suppressed as the No. Because his ability is not as good as Pei Xiu, this is not a stab, but a knife.

He hated two people the most in his heart, one was Pei Xiu, and the other was Wuming, and he hated Pei Xiu for a longer time.

"Your Majesty really looks down on me! I have been with Your Majesty for so long. Since I knew that Your Majesty was pregnant, I made a plan. I sent someone to Zhong Mo's barracks and hid near the barracks. If the order is given, Zhong Mo will be informed of the news that His Majesty is pregnant, even if His Majesty kills people now, it will be too late."

Feng Jin looked at him with a smile, "Why did I kill you?"

Shen Wenqing looked at Feng Jin suspiciously, he didn't think that the empress would let him go even if the two of them were telling the truth.

"Didn't you realize that when I left Jiangnan and returned to the imperial capital, two of the fifty secret guards I took with me didn't come back?"

Shen Wenqing was stunned, "Didn't His Majesty send them on a mission?"

"Yes, there is indeed a mission to monitor the Shen family."

Shen Wenqing's face turned as white as paper, Feng Jin had a sneer on his lips, and his voice was cold and indifferent, "Even if the Shen family has a nursing home, the dark guards are the best at killing people, and it's easy to kill two or three people when the night is dark and windy, such as Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Shen..."

Shen Wenqing's face became paler and paler, and finally the paleness became the look of a dead man.
