C149 Deprivation of arms

Fu Yuheng sat upright on the dragon throne, his eyes sharp as he watched the officials bow before him. "I, I have decided to withdraw the authority of the General Shen. Do you have any objections?"

His words were like a pebble, causing waves in this calm atmosphere.

This matter was naturally a good thing for the Prime Minister Liu. One must know that he had been opposing the General Shen for so many years, and now that his opponent had fallen, how could he not be happy?

Looking at the civil and military officials discussing animatedly amongst themselves, Fu Yuheng could only feel frustrated. He could only know how to fight internally and not know how to properly govern these fellows.

"Withdraw the authority of the General Shen?" The assistant minister of the Military Department was a little hesitant, the position of the General Shen in the Imperial Court was obvious to all, for him to be accepted as a soldier like that, it could be said that he had bad luck.

However, at this moment, an elderly official came out, looking anxious. "This old official feels that this matter is rather inappropriate, as it will affect the future of the Jiang Han Empire!" However, as soon as he finished speaking, someone began to refute him.

Assistant Minister Li Yuhang looked at the official who spoke disdainfully, and spoke with a firm tone: "What's wrong with that? Shen Feng lost a war at the border, so he deserves to be punished! " He and the Prime Minister Liu had long reached an agreement with Ling Ling, of course they would take revenge on the enemy.

Sure enough, once he said those words, many of the ministers who had just begun to waver also steeled their resolve.

"That makes sense!" Another assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry also spoke up.

"Cough …" At this moment, Fu Yuheng furrowed his brows and coughed. "Dear Elders, do you have nothing to say?"

"Your Majesty, this humble subject has something to say." As a civil servant, his thoughts were naturally more thorough. Moreover, as a first-rate official, he had more power and influence.

"Speak." Fu Yuheng raised his brows. He had not expected that the normally taciturn Luo Xingyong would actually open his mouth at this moment.

Her white hair was crowned, but she could still see that she must have been a bookish, elegant gentleman when she was young. Luo Xing Yong nodded his head: "To return to the Emperor, it is not appropriate to remove the General Shen's military power. Victory or defeat is a common occurrence for a soldier, General Shen's military power cannot be removed in a single failure, please reconsider, Your Majesty!" His words could be said to be filled with emotion, but Prime Minister Liu's expression changed.

Damn it, there are always a few annoying people coming out to mess things up.

However, Fu Yuheng was somewhat deep in thought after he finished listening. It seemed that there were still people who could be of use within the dynasty.

"Reporting to the Emperor, this humble official thinks that Your Majesty's actions are very wise. To defeat our country's might, at this rate, how can we make other countries pay tribute year after year?" If General Shen was allowed to reverse the situation, then they would have to wait for the next opportunity. Who knew how long this would take? Or perhaps, if he lost this opportunity, he would never have another chance. Moreover … Where the Ninth Prince is...

It had to be said that most of the people in the imperial court were like fence-sitters, and General Shen had obviously lost his power. Prime Minister Liu could be said to be an independent power in the imperial court, if he did not help now, how long would he have to wait?

"Your majesty the Emperor is brilliant!" Moments later, the ground was filled with kneeling.

Fu Yuheng sneered in his heart but his expression remained unchanged. The end of the General Shen was already decided. The people in the court and the empress dowager all needed him to finish this. Besides, military power was something that the emperor was afraid of since ancient times. If it wasn't held in his own hands, he would worry about his position in the kingdom eventually.

"As you have said, we will disarm the General Shen." Fu Yuheng took a glance at General Shen, who had been standing there without making a sound the entire time, and a trace of helplessness flashed past his eyes. "General Shen, do you have anything else to say?"

Fu Yuheng tapped his fingers on the table. It was obvious that although a few of the ministers felt that his actions were not inappropriate, most of them sided with Prime Minister Liu, saying that his actions were very clear. Now, it seemed that Prime Minister Liu would become a poisonous tooth sooner or later. Being too ambitious was not a good thing.

"This old subject has nothing to say in reply to the emperor." General Shen raised his hand and bowed, his expression a little lonely. Since his injuries had not recovered yet, what could he say?

Fu Yuheng nodded. He knew that someone as intelligent as him would naturally not say anything.

"From today onwards, remove the military power held by the General Shen." With the final word, the border incident finally came to an end.

Fu Huaiyu was very well-informed, and very quickly, he received the news.

Hu Youshan's matter was no longer within his worry, he was completely at ease leaving the matters there to Mo Zilian. He had already thought about the empress's situation. If she interfered again, he wouldn't mind having another drop of blood.

The peach blossom eyes that normally would be full of smiles were now even more sinister than before. The corners of his mouth hooked into a bloodthirsty smile.

"General Shen … "Haha …" Fu Huaiyu played with the teacup in his hands, he was very satisfied with the Prime Minister Liu's way of handling this tea, but he was not disappointed at all, "Royal brother, you're really as naive as you were in the beginning!"

With a slip of his hand, the teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

"Right now, everything has been settled. I'm just missing a son …" On the chessboard at the side, there was a clear line of black and white. However, it was obvious that Bai Zi was like a poor crossbow, he no longer had any leeway to fight back.

"That little fox, perhaps he should thank Ben Wang, haha …" Ironic laughter filled the entire room, adding to the gloom.

Fu Huaiyu sneered when he received the news. Now that the authority of the General Shen had disappeared, the Emperor who had lost a large portion of his forces was already like a tiger without claws.

However, that person, that chess piece that had escaped his control, was something that he cared a lot about. If possible, that chess piece really wanted to stay there forever. Let her see, in the end, this mountain still belonged to the victor.

"Bring me some wine for This King!" Fu Huaiyu hooked his fingers, and the woman who was sitting by the side immediately stood up, and after a while, she brought a jug of wine in.

"Pour for This King..." Fu Huaiyu reached out and wrapped his arms around the woman's waist, but then casually flung it away.

A figure flashed across her narrowed eyes. That person, or perhaps it was just her, was different in this world after all.

He picked up the wine cup in front of him and downed it in one gulp, but he didn't know why.

"Scram!" With a loud shout, the woman trembled in fright. She quickly put down the wine pot in her hands and staggered out, not daring to complain at all.

Just as the woman left, she heard a gentle voice, "Is that grandpa inside angry?"

The woman nodded, and the man lightly smiled. "Go, don't take it to heart." He felt as if the pain in his heart had been completely healed. When he raised his head again, that person had already disappeared.
