Chapter 469: The soldiers are sent away, Wang Quan is shocked
Chapter 469: The soldiers were sent off respectfully, and the royal power was shocked
"King Quan, what do you think, Your Majesty?"
At this time, Li Xianzhong gave up.
Wang Quan was the person next to Zhao Shen. Even the big shots in the court would show courtesy to Wang Quan when they saw him.
However, Li Xianzhong is obviously not afraid of the royal power! He is dedicated to the country, and he is already old, so he does not have too many regrets even if he really disbands his troops and returns to his fields.
A person without desires is strong, so even when he saw the famous person next to Zhao Shen, Li Xianzhong did not show any fear.
Wang Quan looked at Li Xianzhong with a wry smile, "Oh, my General Li, I'm just a slave beside His Majesty. Who knows what His Majesty is thinking."
Having said this, Wang Quan paused for a moment, then looked at Shen Tang and said seriously, "However, your Majesty is extremely angry about this matter.
You two should also know that His Majesty dismissed Tang Situi from his position on the spot and lost his temper after returning to the Hall of Renzheng.
However, I don't know whether the anger is directed at Tang Si's return or Master Shen.
In my opinion, Your Majesty does not care about the so-called first thing.
As for the matter of betraying the Wei army... Lord Shen, in fact, it doesn’t matter whether your Majesty cares about it or not. What matters is what kind of answer your Majesty will give you."
"Your Majesty's mind is naturally broad, but after all, Your Majesty is Your Majesty! However, His Majesty's heart is extremely important to Mr. Shen, and Mr. Shen has made great contributions to our Song Dynasty. Even if His Majesty is really Wanting to punish you is just a temporary act of anger. When the anger subsides, don’t you want to become an important minister in the court?"
Although Wang Quan's words seemed simple, they revealed two extremely important messages.
First, if there were no accidents, Zhao Shen would definitely punish Shen Tang, and the reason was because of the Eight Hundred Beiwei Army.
Of course, Zhao Shen would not believe that Shen Tang was returning to rebel just because of these few hundred people.
However, it is taboo to support troops, and Zhao Shen might want to teach Shen Tang a lesson.
The second piece of news is that Shen Tang's official position has probably been decided.
This time, it is naturally unlikely that it will be a very small position as expected before. However, if this is the case, Shen Tang can accept it.
"Thank you, sir!"
Shen Tang naturally understood Wang Quan's good intentions.
Wang Quan nodded with a smile, obviously very happy in his heart.
He is someone close to Zhao Shen, so he understands Zhao Shen better than others.
He could tell that Zhao Shen was indeed a little dissatisfied with the matter of betraying Wei Jun.
However, this does not mean that Zhao Shen will give up on Shen Tang.
On the contrary, taking this opportunity to suppress Shen Tang and then promoting him to make Shen Tang grateful is the most common method used by those in power.
Now Shen Tang, with Zhang Jun and Shi Hao taking care of him, as well as the secret support of a group of main war factions, actually has such prestige in the military.
As long as Your Majesty does not give up on him, it is foreseeable that he will become a giant in the future, so Wang Quan naturally does not mind selling to Shen Tang to save face.
"Master Shen, the matter is urgent, how about we return directly?"
Wang Quan spoke.
Shen Tang naturally had no problem, so he stood up and said to Li Xianzhong, "General Li, then I will go to Lin'an with Mr. Wang, and I will leave the matter of Sizhou to the general."
"Let's go! I'll take you out of the city!"
Li Xianzhong did not stop him, but stood up directly.
A group of people came to the door. When they walked out of the door of the house, they saw that both sides of the door were full of soldiers.
Moreover, these military ranks stretched continuously with no end in sight.
"We would like to send you off to Master Shen!"
The nearest soldier knelt down on one knee and saluted Shen Tang.
Wang Quan's eyes flashed slightly, and Li Xianzhong beside him said calmly, "These people were not arranged by the general. Each of them came spontaneously.
We soldiers may be rude, but we can tell who are the good guys and who are the bad guys! Back then, in the bloody battle of Lingbi, with the help of Master Shen, 40,000 golden soldiers were killed. Then, they went to Suzhou again to kill the general and tens of thousands of soldiers. The soldiers were brought back unscathed."
"Some of these people admire Lord Shen, and some owe their lives to Lord Shen!"
Li Xianzhong's words shocked Wang Quan. He only heard about that battle and didn't know the inside story. However, he could clearly feel the respect and madness in the eyes of the surrounding soldiers when they looked at Shen Tang!
"Thank you very much, gentlemen!"
Shen Tang clasped his fists and raised his hands, then got on his horse!
"Wait a minute!"
At this time, a general wearing black armor walked out. Shen Tang looked and saw that it was Zhang Tao who had escorted the Shao family before.
Zhang Tao first saluted Li Xianzhong and Shen Tang, then stood in front of Wang Quan's horse and said, "My lord, please forgive me for being rude, but I have a few words in my heart that I won't be happy to say!"
Wang Quan looked slightly startled, but then he said, "General, please speak."
"Sir, General Shen once told me that our three thousand miles of rivers and mountains south of the Yangtze River in the Great Song Dynasty depend on our soldiers to defend them. Therefore, when we face any enemy, we can hold our heads high and would rather die than retreat.
General Shen said, "Every inch of mountains and rivers is an inch of blood. As soldiers, we died for the Song Dynasty and were wrapped in horse leather. This is our honor, as well as our responsibility and mission."
However, we don’t want to die by the enemy’s sword but by the hands of our own people.”
"The soldiers of the Song Dynasty were all upright men.
Facing the enemy, they can draw their swords, but facing their own people, they are at a loss! But, sir, if these people are allowed to die in the hands of their own people, who will defend the Song Dynasty in the future."
"Even a hero of the Song Dynasty like Mr. Shen can become a sinner. Then who will defend the Song Dynasty in the future!"
"Sir, General Zhang Tao, the subordinate of General Li, will guarantee with his life that Lord Shen is innocent!"
Brush! Zhang Tao prostrated himself before Wang Quan.
"Sir, the last general of Sizhou Army, Tang Tian, will guarantee with his life that Lord Shen is innocent!"
Brush! Another person prostrates himself.
"Sir, Feng Mo, the commander of Sizhou Army, will guarantee with his life that Lord Shen is innocent!"
Seeing the soldiers prostrating themselves one after another, and seeing the fiery but somewhat resentful eyes of each soldier, Wang Quan was shocked! He had seen many lofty words from high-ranking officials in the court, but they were not as good as these ordinary men. It comes sincerely.
This Shen Tang is really unexpected!
"Royal power, I don't believe that a person who can lead my Song soldiers to kill Jin soldiers on the battlefield will have any other thoughts about the Song Dynasty. I don't believe that a person can bear the high salary of the Jin Kingdom and deal with the civil and military affairs of the Jin Kingdom." , those who bring glory back to the Song Dynasty will be criminals."
