Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 858: The Records Office Joins the Army
Shen Wuzheng glanced at her and lowered his eyes without saying anything, but there seemed to be a deeper layer of worry in his eyes.

Shang Ruyi's heartbeat became a little heavier.

She had been very angry when she knew that Shang Shoufei had been enthroned as the prince's right prisoner. This "brother" who had bullied her so shamelessly climbed up through her, but stood on the opposite side of her. , and then directly took action on the hawthorn cake matter. These days, she almost didn't want to think about this person, because the thought of it was as disgusting as swallowing a fly.

But what made her even more angry was that Yu Wenye had told her before that Shang Shoufei was named the right prisoner sect leader and became a military general, which gave him the right to lead troops.

If there is a war in the future, he will be able to lead the troops into battle!
This is the thing that has always stuck in Shang Ruyi's throat. Even when she heard Yu Wenye tell her these words, she once asserted that if he was allowed to lead the army, he would lose his fortune in the Great Sheng Dynasty for thousands of years. It will be the biggest joke in thousands of years!

But I didn't expect that the current development of events might actually be like this.

Shang Shoufei, who was the right prisoner, did not continue to take over the responsibility of staying in the East Palace after the prince moved into the prince's mansion. There was only one possibility, that is, he had other uses. And thinking about it at the wedding banquet yesterday, Yu Wencheng was full of confidence. look like.

Shang Ruyi gritted his teeth and said, "It's really a joke."

Shen Wuzheng was a little surprised when he suddenly heard such a sentence. He looked at her with his eyes wide open, and then Shang Ruyi angrily told him what happened before. Shen Wuzheng listened in silence for a long time, and then sighed and said, "This is also true." It’s a matter of methods, if His Majesty really wants him to participate.”

Shang Ruyi frowned, gritted his teeth, and whispered: "I'm so confused..."

She could only say this in front of Shen Wuzheng, and she said it in such a low voice. After all, it was too bold. After hearing this, Shen Wuzheng didn't have much emotion. He just said lightly: "Your Majesty is getting older."

Shang Ruyi raised his head and looked at him - Shen Wuzheng meant that the reason why Yu Wenyuan did this was because he was too old to do many things, so he could only leave them to his son. Since Yu Wenzhen had been canonized as the prince, it was definitely impossible. If he goes to the battlefield as easily as before, and Yu Wenye is involved in the death of Duke Shenwu, Yu Wenyuan will have to give him some punishment even if he doesn't know the canonical punishment, and then only Yu Wencheng will be left.

She smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty is not that old, is he?"

Shen Wuzheng shook his head and said: "Generals, especially those who have been injured for many years in battles, are prone to suffer from old illnesses. In addition, he has been living in poverty for many years and has almost no time to rest. What do you think? "How is his health?"

Speaking of this, Shang Ruyi frowned.

She didn't know much about Yu Wenyuan's body, because it was impossible for the emperor to allow people to know his physical condition. If anyone dared to inquire about this information, they would be immediately blamed. But what she thought of was her father, a hussar who once galloped on the battlefield. General Shang Ruohong.

He died of illness in his prime.

The cause of his death was the injuries he suffered in his early years and the lack of proper maintenance and regulation of his breath. The old illness relapsed, and he eventually died young.

Thinking of this Shang Ruyi's eyes darkened, and Shen Wuzheng continued: "Your Majesty is wise. He may not fully know his enemy, but he can definitely know himself. If he arranges this, there is only one possibility, that is, he has given up on advancing eastward. Planned."

Shang Ruyi suddenly opened his eyes: "What do you mean-"

Shen Wuzheng said: "There are internal and external reasons for this matter. For the old man, the departure of someone of his own generation is a big blow. Moreover, Duke Shenwu is definitely not an ordinary minister to Your Majesty. It’s so simple, so it’s not surprising that His Majesty would want to retreat at this time.”

"..."

"For the outside world, Liang Shide occupied Luoyang, absorbed the forces of Wanggangzhai, and connected with the Turks. He was already strong. Moreover, he had interrogated Jiang Chongen a few days ago. Although the Luoyang city defense map he presented was not entirely true, it could still be Prying out some news from his mouth, Liang Shide has now accepted the remnants of the army led by Wang Shaoqiu. In addition, his strength has increased several times over the years of running Dongdu. It will be difficult to capture Dongdu. "

"But that doesn't mean we can't win."

Shen Wuzheng took a deep breath and said, "Ruyi, do you know how many forces in the world are staring at Xijing and Dongdu right now?"

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat: "Brother, are you saying there is someone waiting for us to fight?"

Shen Wuzheng said: "Nowadays, all the heroes in the world are together, but the strongest ones are us and Liang Shide. We are equally powerful. If we really fight and fight to the end, it is likely that both sides will lose."

"..."

"What will happen to the small forces around us?"

Shang Ruyi frowned: "They will swarm us and eat up both sides of us."

"good,"

Shen Wuzheng nodded and said, "So, your majesty asked Shen Tutai to lead the troops to capture the Song and Xu states, and Liang Shide wanted to use Jiang Chongen's plan to intercept and kill your majesty in one fell swoop. This is what both sides are trying to do."

"..."

"But all battles must be based on your own survival, otherwise, it will be the same fate as Xue Xian in Fufeng."

Shang Ruyi frowned even more tightly and said, "In other words, both of us must win over the other with minimal sacrifice, otherwise, our own survival may be affected."

"Yes." "But, how is it possible?"

Liang Shide was not a loser, and beside him was Xiao Yuansui, who was good at planning, and now there was the insidious and cunning Wang Shaoqiu. It was almost fanciful to want to take over his power in the Eastern Capital with minimal sacrifice.

Unless God comes to this world!

Shen Wuzheng said: "So if Your Majesty really lets King Qi and Shang Shoufei lead the army this time, although they will still send troops, the methods will no longer be thunderous."

"..."

"As long as they can't take Dongdu, maybe he will really give up marching eastward."

Shang Ruyi's heart sank. Not only did she not expect that Duke Shenwu's death would have such a big impact on Yu Wenyuan, but what made her even more uneasy was that Yu Wenye once said that if he wanted to compete with the prince, he could What he relies on is his military exploits, but if Yu Wenyuan gives up his eastward march and stops using troops externally, then Yu Wenye's ability will be equivalent to being put on the shelf, and he will only become His Highness the King of Qin on the shelf.

And now that the matter has come to this, the prince will never let him go!
Unexpectedly, Duke Shenwu's death would have such a great impact on Yu Wenyuan and the entire situation. Shen Wuzheng also sighed deeply and said, "This time, King Qin really did not consider this matter."

"..."

"He must change this problem in the future, otherwise -"

Mentioning this, Shang Ruyi also had a wry smile on his face. Thinking about it now, Queen Mother Jiang's words after the fire in Dayan Temple were simple, but they were worth more than a thousand pieces of gold. She took Yu Wenye and the whole situation very seriously. It was a pity that I could not really persuade Yu Wenye at that time.

So much so that now that they were competing with the prince, they were about to lose.

By the way, Prince...

Everything they said was arranged by Yu Wenyuan, but what about Yu Wensu? What role does he play in this matter?
What they had been worried about before was Yu Wenzhen's revenge, seizing power and hurting people. Even if the emperor really appointed Shang Shoufei to go on an expedition, how much relationship could Shang Shoufei have with Yuwen Ye? He was just his brother, and a completely hostile brother. Even if he was really useless and died on the battlefield, not only would he not shed a single tear, but he might even be happy and drink a few more drinks.

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi's face became more solemn and said: "But all this has nothing to do with the prince. If he wants to seize power and hurt others, he shouldn't start with Shang Shoufei."

Mentioning this, Shen Wuzheng's eyes darkened again.

But before he could say anything, there was sudden heavy footsteps outside. When he turned around, he saw that Yu Wenye was back.

The two of them stood up immediately. Before they could salute, Yu Wenye had already taken off his coat and threw it to Chang Wan who followed him in. He nodded to Shen Wuzheng: "No need to be polite, just sit down."

After saying that, he walked over directly and sat down next to Shang Ruyi.

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but frown, and just when he turned around to complain, he saw Yu Wenye's eyebrows frowning slightly, as if there was a heavy haze, and he immediately swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

He knew about Shang Shoufei last night. Now, what kind of trouble would he have?

After Yu Wenye sat down, he didn't say anything immediately. Instead, he was sweating profusely. He reached out and casually picked up the teacup at Shang Ruyi's hand and took a sip.

Shen Wuzheng lowered his eyelashes lightly and said nothing.

Yu Wenye must have rushed back after going to the military camp, and he was obviously walking in a hurry. He could feel that his breath was heavy. After taking a sip of tea to calm his breathing, he raised his head and looked at Shen Wuzheng without asking. What did the two of them talk about just now? He said directly: "Just now, my father's decree has been sent to the Ministry of War."

Go to the Ministry of War's decree, which is to confer the title to fight against the Eastern Capital!
Shang Ruyi immediately asked: "How?"

Yu Wenye said: "He consecrated the King of Qi as the General Manager of the March in Henan Province, and appointed Shentu Tai and Shang Shoufei as the Deputy General Manager of the March in Henan Province and the Colonel of Zhaowu. They all have the right to act expeditiously."

Shang Ruyi and Shen Wuzheng looked at each other solemnly and said nothing.

It seemed that their guess was correct, but even if Yu Wenyuan had some intention of retreating, he was not so confused as to completely leave the war in the east to Yu Wencheng and Shang Shoufei, so he added Shen Tutai. .

But this may not be enough.

At this time, Shang Ruyi found that Shen Wuzheng and Yu Wenye looked at each other again, and there seemed to be an indescribable gloom in their eyes.

She immediately asked: "What's wrong?"

"..."

Yu Wenye looked at her, was silent for a moment, and said: "The prince still recommends Fu Ming to join the army for the record office and send troops to Luoyang together."
