Chapter 380 Two Parties Become One
At that time, Shen Jinyao heard what Shen Maoshan said about the history of past years.
I couldn't help but be amazed.
This is how the Xiang family army was weakened generation by generation.
This shows that the royal family wants both the Xiang family and the other.
He was worried that the Xiang family would not fight for the royal family, and he was also worried that the Xiang family would have second thoughts about the royal family.
Now, several neighboring countries are taking frequent actions because they have noticed that there are problems in Kyushu.
The Xiang family army is no longer as powerful as before.
The emperor actually wanted to invite several neighboring countries to come to Shangjing at this time.
The pretext was to let several small countries see the strength of Kyushu.
Shen Jinyao thought of the Qiang capital, which was similar to the Kyushu Kingdom, and felt that the emperor's move was indeed very arrogant.
Now, Murong Wencheng's feelings for her are no longer a secret in the Shen family.
Therefore, how to reach the Qiang people became the topic of discussion tonight.
After all, Murong Wencheng doesn’t know Shen Jinyao’s current situation yet, not to mention that according to the time, Murong Wencheng must have already set off.
Only if Shen Jinyao goes to greet them can she meet Murong Wencheng.
Or let the Shen family in Quzhou go find Murong Wencheng.
In short, there is still a way.
Shen Jinyao knew what Shen Zhizheng meant. He also wanted her to consider the Qiang people.
At this time, Shen Jinyao spoke calmly, interrupting the Shen family's discussion.
"We must make a decision tonight, otherwise the Emperor will definitely come looking for Father tomorrow."
Everyone fell silent.
Well, time is very tight.
It is definitely too late to meet the Qiang King.
If I go, what will I do if the emperor asks me tomorrow?
Shen Leyao: "You could say I'm sick."
The Third Lady, however, said, "Why must we go to the Qiang Tribe, so far away...why not just claim to be ill?"
The eldest lady shook her head. "It's no use just claiming to be sick. If it goes on for too long, the emperor will get suspicious and will definitely send someone to visit him."
Mrs. Shen also nodded.
Shen Zhiyong said in a hoarse voice: "Then run, I will protect Big Sister."
Master Shen nodded slightly, but then asked, "Where are you going? You can't leave Beijing for many days."
Shen Zhixin stepped forward and said, "I'll go. I don't have an official position, but I can still take care of my elder sister."
Shen Leyao said, "You don't even know any Kung Fu, so let me follow you."
Shen Zhixue remained silent.
He thought calmly that these were the only options before Shen Jinyao.
1. Kill the emperor.
Second, pretend to be sick.
3. Escape.
Fourth, go find Murong Wencheng and ask him to arrange to go to the Qiang tribe.
5. Marry Xiang Hongxuan.
Why not consider marrying Xiang Hongxuan?
Shen Zhixue looked at Shen Jinyao hesitantly.
He opened his mouth.
But then Shen Tingyao's clear voice was heard.
"Why can't you marry Xiang Hongxuan?"
Everyone has different expressions.
Yeah, why didn't they consider this option.
Shen Jinyao had just said that Xiang Hongxuan said she could marry him to avoid disaster.
It also shows that it is not taking advantage of someone's misfortune.
However, the Shen family would rather consider Murong Wencheng, who was far away in the Qiang tribe, than Xiang Hongxuan who was close to Shangjing.
The eldest lady said dissatisfiedly: "How can a person with no official position protect Jin'er?"
Shen Tingyao said, "I heard from the eldest prince that the crown prince is working on this matter. In a few days, General Xiang will be able to return to his post."
Everyone looked at Shen Maoshan and Shen Zhizheng.
Both nodded.
Everyone understood that before long, the kings of the four countries would come to Kyushu.
At that time, the major general of the Xiang family army must come forward.
Although the Xiang family still has the old general, Xiang Hongxuan's father, the old general has not sent troops for nearly ten years.
In Shangjing, the emperor and the various aristocratic families may not recognize Xiang Hongxuan, but the four countries do.
It's funny to say.
A great general was not treated well by the emperor of his own country, but needed the enemy country to prove his deterrent power.
The Third Madam also disagreed. She said, "But now General Xiang has been kicked out of the Xiang family."
Shen Tingyao said, "Aunt San, do you think the Xiang family is a good family?"
Madam Shen nodded. "The Xiang family's mistress is the queen's cousin. Although she is not a direct relative, she also has the same surname."
No matter what happens, the Xue family will stick together.
"General Xiang has never been favored in the Xiang family. I think it has something to do with this stepmother."
When the Shen family members talked about the Xiang family's mistress and the old general, their faces looked a little unhappy.
After all, they had come to the Shen family to cancel their engagement before.
They still remember the expressions of Xiang family's Xue and several other ladies at that time.
This is also the reason why they didn't consider the Xiang family first.
The eldest lady snorted coldly, "Hmph, don't forget the ungrateful and unrighteous faces of the Xiang family back then."
Everyone was silent, their memories were still fresh in their minds.
Shen Tingyao also hesitated.
"But it is precisely because of this that General Xiang was kicked out of the family. It is better not to have family members like that."
Shen Zhixue, who had been silent all this time, spoke.
Shen Jinyao looked at him in surprise.
Everyone seemed to be convinced, even Shen Maoshan, who had some reservations, was shaken.
Shen Maoshan looked at Shen Jinyao, "Jin'er, have you thought it through?"
Tonight, they must make every possible effort.
Given the emperor's temper, he will definitely fight back tomorrow if he suffers a loss at the hands of Jin'er.
While the Shen family was discussing, Shen Jinyao kept thinking about various possibilities.
Ever since leaving the palace and meeting the prince, Shen Jinyao no longer had this idea.
It's really too risky.
If the Shen family was not a good family, she would have killed the emperor.
but……
The Shen family’s behavior just now was already very obvious.
No one thought of giving up on her.
Everyone was covering for her and thinking about her.
She thought that in addition to benefiting from the life in Wuhe Village for a few years, it was also because the Shen family were kind people after all.
She also knew that Shen Maoshan wanted to call everyone over.
He was afraid that the truth would be revealed and someone would betray the Shen family and report it to the emperor.
Now call everyone together, clarify the interests involved, and make sure everyone has the same ideas.
It not only lets everyone know the attitude of the Shen family, but also lets everyone know that the emperor is doomed. If the Shen family wants to survive, they must be closely tied to the prince.
The few words Shen Tingyao said just now dispelled everyone's last concerns.
If Shen Tingyao insists on siding with the eldest prince, what will the Shen family do?
However, the Shen family heard that the eldest prince cared for Shen Tingyao and did not want to be the crown prince.
What else are you concerned about?
As long as we help Shen Jinyao overcome the difficulties, everything will be fine in a few years.
It’s just that the Shen family is thinking too simply now.
The emperor cannot suppress the prince openly, so he can only suppress the Shen family.
There is no Shen Jinyao, but there are others.
Shen Jinyao: "I..."
"My Lord, the Crown Prince has arrived."
What else could the prince be visiting so late at night for?
Everyone in the Shen family opened the door to welcome them.
The prince looked at the people in the room and thought that he had come to the right place today.
He only has these two capable helpers, and now everyone is feeling uneasy because of the emperor's interference.
It would be better if the two sides merged into one.
