How can General Shen, who has been deprived of his military power, be reused? If he has a rebellious heart...
"What do you think, gentlemen?" A pair of cold black eyes swept across everyone, and there was a sense of coercion in the tone.
There was another round of discussion below, and after a while, a minister stepped forward and said, "I think there is something wrong!"
"Oh?" Fu Yuheng remained calm, as he had already expected their opposition.
"General Shen is inevitably dissatisfied with being stripped of his military power. If the emperor reappoints him, he may be disloyal... Please think twice!"
As soon as the minister finished speaking, everyone agreed with him, "Your Majesty, please think twice!"
His cold eyes narrowed, thinking that there would be opposition, but he did not expect it to be so fierce. His black eyes gradually tightened, and his tone became slightly colder, "Then who do you think is the right candidate?"
General Shen has made great military achievements and enjoys credibility among the soldiers. He also has experience fighting on the battlefield, which is unmatched by those in the court.
This question left everyone speechless. If there was a suitable candidate, he would have been recommended to him long ago. Why would they wait until now
Knowing that no one could compete with General Shen, no one dared to challenge him.
Fu Yuheng snorted coldly, with some sarcasm, "Since there is no suitable candidate, General Shen is the undisputed candidate. Don't you all believe in my vision and ability?"
When he said this, his eyes were already cold, and his tone was full of displeasure, which frightened everyone so much that they immediately kowtowed, "I dare not!"
"I can't see why you dare not come!" He glanced coldly at the people below, "Since there is no objection, then follow my words! As a member of the royal family, how can you deny your lifelong achievements just because of a mistake you made once?"
As soon as he said this, although his ministers had complaints and dissatisfaction, no one dared to step forward to advise him. If his anger was directed at them, they would be in trouble.
After Fu Yuheng made up his mind, he did not delay and immediately summoned General Shen to the palace to meet him in the imperial study.
General Shen was not afraid because he was open-minded, but he could not guess why he would suddenly summon him. "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
"General Shen, there's no need to be so polite." A deep gaze swept over him. One of the reasons why he wanted to reuse General Shen might be because of Shen Qingwan.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." General Shen stood up and asked the question in his mind, "Why did Your Majesty summon me?"
Before Fu Yuheng could reply, General Shen began to speculate, frowning, "Could it be that my daughter has caused some trouble in the palace?"
The word "little girl" made Fu Yuheng raise his eyebrows with interest. She had been in the palace for quite a while, and he had not changed his mind, but he did not point out any blame. "Xianfei is dignified and polite, and very smart. General Shen taught her well." He praised her generously. He really praised him, after all, it was he who sent Shen Qingwan to him.
This surprised General Shen. He looked up and saw the smile in his eyes. "Your Majesty, I am praised. I am just an ordinary woman."
Fu Yuheng did not comment, nor did he dwell on the topic, after all, he had other things to do today. He straightened his face and said in a deep voice, "I want to restore General Shen's command and hand over the military power to you again."
When General Shen heard the word "military power", his expression changed. He didn't look like he was joking...
But he couldn't figure it out. He had suspected him before because of the military power, but why would he give it to him again now? But he didn't dare to speak rashly now.
"I can give you a chance to redeem yourself from your previous mistakes. What do you think, General Shen?" If he really didn't want to, he wouldn't force it.
Under his calm gaze, General Shen pondered for a moment. He might have been a little dissatisfied before, but he dared not complain. If he could regain the military power, he could fight together with his brothers in the army, which was what he had always hoped for.
General Shen knelt down with a look of joy on his face, and bowed firmly, "I will definitely live up to the expectations of the Emperor!"
Fu Yuheng heaved a sigh of relief, and the fierceness in his eyes faded a little. "I believe General Shen can do it."
"Your Majesty, I thank you!" He was a little excited, and his voice was full of joy. "Your Majesty, I promise that I will protect the country well. Please rest assured!"
This was exactly what he wanted to see, Fu Yuheng nodded with satisfaction.
The news that Fu Yuheng handed the military power back to General Shen quickly spread throughout the court and the country. Whether in the court or in the harem, everyone was talking about this matter.
The actions of the previous dynasty are always affecting the situation in the harem. Now that the emperor has re-employed General Shen, this will undoubtedly bring infinite honor to Concubine Xian. From now on, she is no longer an ordinary Concubine Xian, but has a father who holds military power!
When Xiao Shushen found out about this, she was furious. She never expected Fu Yuheng to act so quickly.
Such an important power as military authority actually fell into the hands of the Shen family for the second time. How would she, the queen, feel about this? And how would the prince survive
"Does the emperor really not care about our old relationship? I have been with him for so many years and even gave birth to a prince. How come he has never thought about me?" Xiao Shushen was extremely angry. She pinched her delicate palm hard, her beautiful eyes filled with resentment.
Seeing this, Aunt Gui had no choice but to step forward to dissuade her, "Madam, please don't get so angry that you get sick."
In the past, Xiao Shushen was very good at maintaining a dignified and generous attitude, but since Shen Qingwan came into the palace, her temperament has changed.
It wouldn't be a big deal if they showed this in front of their servants, but it wouldn't be so nice if it got to Fu Yuheng's ears.
"The Shen family is in power again. Who is the master of the harem? Who would take me, the queen, seriously?"
The Shen family is in power, and Shen Qingwan, as one of the four concubines, naturally stands up straight. The fence-sitters in the harem keep leaning towards her.
"Your Highness is the queen who rules the country and gave birth to the crown prince. Who dares to ignore your Highness? People with a long-term vision will naturally know that your Highness is the mountain they can rely on."
Fu Mochen is the only prince in the palace and will definitely inherit the throne in the future. Even if Concubine Xian is enjoying herself for a while, won't she still be a small concubine when the new emperor ascends the throne
Xiao Shushen's face was ferocious because of anger. Where was the trace of the demeanor of a mother of the country? After hearing what Aunt Gui said, she felt a little relieved. She didn't want to make too much noise and make people laugh at her, so she had to calm down her anger and resentment.
It was unusual for the Shen family to regain control of the military power, and Shen Qingwan was afraid that something was wrong, so she decided to go back to the general's mansion to take a look.
Xiao Man has been very excited these days since she learned the news. She always felt that the honor was what the Queen deserved. "What does the Queen need to prepare when she returns to the General's Mansion?" Xiao Man asked with her head raised.
Shen Qingwan just thought she looked lively and cute, and shook her head, "No need to prepare." This was the time to attract attention. If she gave some gifts back, others would think she was showing off.
Xiao Man didn't ask any questions, thinking that her queen must have a sense of propriety and reasons for doing things.
