Of course, everyone except Wen Songzhi knew this problem very well. It was not that Shen Can didn't want to help, but that the emperor's true thoughts were not revealed. It was he who wanted to be so ambiguous, not letting Shen Mingzhu go, and allowing Xiao Xian to visit. , and even live here.
Shen Mingtang also remembered the time when he went to find Shen Can.
He was so anxious at first that he tried many methods to no avail, so he went to find Shen Can.
He felt that Shen Can was his father and Mingzhu's father. No matter what happened, he was their father after all.
If their children are in trouble, wouldn't it be too indifferent if parents cannot be a safe haven?
So he hurriedly went to find Shen Can and told him about Mingzhu, hoping that his father would immediately go to the palace to intercede with the emperor and see if his sister could be released.
Who knew that my father refused.
And he refused very simply, saying that he would not tell the emperor, let alone threaten the emperor in any way.
At that time, Shen Mingtang was so angry that he kept saying that his father just wanted to keep his official position and was afraid of being abandoned by the emperor, so even if his own daughter was wrongly accused and died, he would not stand up and say something fair.
When he said this, he was very excited and his tone was not good. Shen Can was not angry at the time, let alone blamed his son for provoking his authority as a father.
He only said one thing: Use stillness to stop.
Shen Mingtang didn't understand at first. He thought something had happened to his sister. Shouldn't they try to rescue her as soon as possible?
But his father said something to stop him, which was obviously an excuse to not want to care.
But when he communicated with Mo Ruhui and Fei Yunhai to find a solution, the countermeasures Mo Ruhui came up with were also based on silence.
This is obviously an excuse to not want to worry about it. What do you mean by stopping with silence?
But gradually he understood that it was right to stop with stillness.
If nothing else, he just said that he wanted Shen Can to plead with the emperor before, and even threatened to resign if he didn't agree.
This is a very mindless thing.
The emperor himself was afraid of Shen Mingzhu and Xiao Xian. If he let his father do this again, the emperor would only hate his sister even more when he saw it.
Besides, the emperor valued his father so much. In the past, many things never needed to be said, and the emperor would take the initiative to meet their requests.
The emperor tacitly approved of his daughter's imprisonment. Even if the father didn't say anything, the emperor would naturally know about it.
This clearly means that the emperor does not want people to plead for mercy, nor does he want to solve it now. If Shen Can pleads for mercy, he has no vision.
The emperor didn't take the initiative to help him solve the problem, it was clear that he didn't want to solve the problem.
If Shen Can opens his mouth, it will only embarrass the emperor, who will then find an excuse to reject him.
Besides, if Shen Can resigns and threatens the emperor, not only will he not be able to threaten the emperor, but it may make the emperor firmer in his determination to get rid of Mingzhu, and maybe even bring Xiao Xian with him.
After all, no one has ever seen such a powerful person, capable of both literary and military skills, not willing to take bribes, not evasive, and extremely brave.
There is no general person in power who is not afraid. Even if there is a father-son relationship, they are afraid that their son will replace them prematurely, let alone a prince who is just a side branch?

I left Beijing and returned home today. I had to take the high-speed train and didn't get home until evening. I didn't have time to code today, so tomorrow's update may be delayed.
