After being questioned endlessly by everyone, Shen Yibai waved his hand.
"My lords, don't worry. Since ancient times, civil servants and military generals have been at odds with each other. But since we have had a national master in our dynasty, he is the only one who can cover the sky with one hand. No matter whether he is a civil servant or a military commander, he doesn't care about him!"
Everyone nodded, "Yes! So proud!"
"Don't talk about us, even the emperor... hmph, we have to give him three points!"
"So, now the general is the first to attack him... We have to wait for the opportunity..." Shen Yibai lowered his voice.
"Master Shen means..."
The ministers quickly exchanged glances.
"Hit the snake within three inches and pull him off his horse!" Someone unknown said in a deep voice with a rough voice.
"But...the emperor has always trusted him."
Shen Yibai narrowed his eyes slightly, "How can we allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed? If he is loyal to the emperor and serving the country, we will naturally look up to him. But if he has the intention to betray the Lord..."
"We must help you get rid of the harm!" Others nodded.
Everyone nodded to each other and waited for the Imperial Master to arrive.
But as he waited, the heater in his hand became cold, a cold wind blew the fox fur to the core, and there was no sign of the National Master's carriage.
"What's going on?" Everyone looked at Shen Yibai suspiciously, "It's about to be locked!"
"Look! It's coming!" Shen Yibai's eyes were as bright as fire.
Everyone followed him and saw that the palace's chariot was coming quickly.
That's right, the emperor sent someone to pick him up, and he came in the palace carriage... There was nothing wrong with him.
"Hey, why are all the ministers waiting here?"
As soon as the carriage stopped, the eunuch delivering the order poked his head out.
Seeing that it was all the ministers, he quickly got out of the car to greet them.
The ministers looked at the car with fear and curiosity.
"We are waiting for the National Master!"
"I heard that there is an urgent call for Dengzhou 800 miles away, and the emperor urgently summons the imperial advisor... We are thinking that if the emperor and the imperial advisor need someone to give advice, we might as well offer some advice!"
The ministers cupped their hands and said.
"Hey! Ministers, you have waited in vain!" said the eunuch.
"The Imperial Master is still in Dengzhou and hasn't come back?" someone asked.
The eunuch shook his head quickly, "That's not true, the Imperial Master is back."
"The Imperial Master was too seriously injured to face the Holy Spirit?" someone else guessed.
The eunuch interrupted quickly, "No, the Imperial Master was slightly injured, but not to the point of being unable to face the Holy One... The Imperial Master was defeated in Dengzhou and felt that he had no face to face the Holy One, so he took the blame and resigned!"
"ah?"
"What?"
The minister standing outside the palace gate was stunned when he heard this.
They were just discussing how to cooperate with the generals' participation and Dengzhou's battle report to impeach the national division commander so as to bring him down!
What's great now... He dismounted before they even pulled him?
"Why... why?" Shen Yibai's eyes widened in disbelief.
The eunuch shook his head, "This... how could I know this? I don't dare to delay any longer. I have to report the news to the emperor quickly!"
The eunuch climbed into the carriage and hurried to the palace.
Everyone immediately surrounded Shen Yibai, "Master Shen!"
"Master Shen, tell me...is he retreating in order to advance?"
"With his ability, has he already understood our plan?"
As soon as these words came out, the ministers were shocked.
Before they could accomplish anything, they were already hated by the Imperial Master. How could they still pay it off?
"Don't panic, everyone, go back first and wait until you go to court tomorrow..." Shen Yibai quickly reassured everyone.
But before the ministers dispersed, another news came from the palace.
"Everyone, please don't leave! The Emperor summons you urgently!" The eunuch panted and came to deliver the message.
Everyone looked at each other and breathed in secretly.
The imperial master dared to "take the blame and resign" without seeing the emperor. They were all waiting at the palace gate, but they did not dare to refuse without seeing the emperor.
Everyone came to the front of the hall with their heads lowered and anxious in their hearts.
The emperor did not ask the ministers to wait, but directly asked them to come into the palace to talk.
When the ministers entered the palace, they didn't even dare to take a breath and carefully tried to figure out the emperor's thoughts.
It depends on whether they will fall down the wall and push them, or beat up the drowned dog - in short, since they have this opportunity to stomp on the national master, they must not miss it.
"My dear friends, please help me think of a solution!"
Ministers, you are still looking at me, I am looking at you, and I am planning to persuade the emperor... The Imperial Preceptor is extremely arrogant and does not put anyone in his eyes. Now that he can take the initiative to resign, why not give him a cold shoulder? time!
When the imperial court is gone, everyone will be transferred!
It’s even better without the National Master!
Everyone exchanged glances, cleared their throats, and were about to speak.
Shen Yibai had already taken the lead and took a step forward, cupping his hands and saying, "I am willing to share the emperor's worries!"
The ministers nodded quickly, Mr. Shen is still brave!
They are still thinking about their little Jiujiu... They are worried that what they said in the palace will be known by the Imperial Master, and they will be put in the shoes of the Imperial Master in the future...
Look at Mr. Shen!
They have no scruples and don’t even encourage them to go up! They did it themselves!
The ministers couldn't help but cast slightly admiring eyes on Shen Yibai, listening attentively to how he persuaded the emperor to give up this idea!
The emperor said happily, "What's Shen Aiqing's idea?"
Shen Yibai said quickly, "I would like to go to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, state the Emperor's wishes to the Imperial Preceptor, and ask the Imperial Preceptor to return to the court and lead the overall situation!"
Ministers: "..."
"No, did I hear it wrong?" The courtier standing in the back row couldn't help but murmured in a low voice, "When he was at the gate of the palace, wasn't he the one who advocated for the Imperial Master to dismount?"
"Yes, now the Imperial Master has taken the initiative to dismount... What? He is still helping the Imperial Master to mount the horse?"
"Is it possible that he is retreating in order to advance... and wants to persuade the emperor to reconsider?"
The ministers looked at Shen Yibai suspiciously.
Emperor Long Xin was delighted, "Okay, okay! I need ministers like Mr. Shen who can stand up and share my worries in critical moments!"
The emperor looked at Shen Yibai with eyes full of admiration.
"Others, leave, Shen Aiqing stays!" The emperor waved his hand and looked at the other ministers with a dissatisfied and dismissive expression.
The others frowned secretly, their eyes turned into daggers, and they quietly stabbed Shen Yibai several times before exiting the hall.
The ministers retreated from the entrance of the palace and immediately spat hard, "What is that? When we were at the entrance of the palace, he instigated us to cooperate with the generals! Pull...ahem, pull him down!"
"How are you now? When the emperor changed the subject, he immediately knelt down and licked me!" The ministers were indignant.
"Oh, why are you so anxious? Have you forgotten about the Miaofei case?" There was also a calm person among the ministers, who sneered, "I couldn't let him take advantage last time, but he married someone else." Yi, this time...it may not be what he wants!"
The ministers exchanged glances with each other and couldn't help stroking their beards and nodding, "That makes sense...just take a look!"
In the main hall.
The emperor stepped down from the dragon throne and said, "Shen Aiqing..."
"I'm here!" Shen Yibai quickly bowed.
"No gifts, no gifts," the emperor said with a smile, "I know what happened to Concubine Miao last time, and I wronged you..."
"Serving the emperor, I will not be wronged!" Shen Yibai said hurriedly.
The emperor smiled even wider and patted him on the shoulder, "Now, I still can't do without the national adviser. There are rebellions everywhere. One national adviser can be the best of thousands of troops. The court can't do without the national adviser!"
"Now... it's not time for him to leave yet. If he leaves this mess and resigns, he will be relaxed and go into seclusion to cultivate immortality... What will the court do? What will we do?"
Shen Yibai took a deep breath, "I... understand."
"Shen Aiqing must invite the Imperial Master back to me!" The emperor patted Shen Yibai on the shoulder and said sincerely.
