Chapter 1438
Chapter 1447

Zhang Xiaojie caressed his long beard, let Xiao Shen jump up and down repeatedly roaring, but remained unmoved by it, until he vented his anger, sat down on the couch and gasped for breath, then he said in a pleasant and authentic manner.

"Nephew, if you don't take on this pressure, don't you want your Majesty to bear it? Your Majesty just wants you to take on this heavy responsibility. So, even if it's just your aspect, then His Majesty will definitely be grateful You, will definitely not embarrass you too much."

"Maybe, after this matter is over, or there will be another major event in the court, maybe it will be your ups and downs. It's just..." Zhang Xiaojie stroked his long beard and raised his gray brows.

"But what?" Xiao Shen approached and asked in a low voice.

"It has been more than [-] years since His Majesty ascended the throne. Now, worrying about state affairs, the dragon's body is gradually weakening, and things like tinnitus and dizziness often happen..."

Xiao Shen gasped, and rolled his eyes a few times. "Mr. Could it be that you mean, His Majesty..."

"It's hard to say, but one of the old friends of this old man is the royal physician in the palace. A few days ago, I accidentally talked about this matter. Now, your majesty is worried because of the state affairs. Yes... I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive this winter..."

Xiao Shen stared blankly at Zhang Xiaojie who was caressing his long beard slowly, and asked in a shy voice. "Sir, is this really the case?"

"This old man is just a bereaved dog. Fortunately, his nephew took him in, so he has a place to live and a place to raise. You and I are in harmony. Now, your safety is at stake. How dare this old man talk nonsense?"

Xiao Shen squinted his eyes and asked Zhang Xiaojie. "That gentleman means that I should not ask for my resignation, but should..."

"You are wrong. If you want to take care of yourself when the new emperor ascends the throne, you have no choice but to retreat." Zhang Xiaojie shook his head in disappointment. This nephew is smart, but he is very smart. What are the gains and losses? The heart is too heavy, almost comparable to Nayelu Yixin.

"Don't forget who is the traitor and who is the loyal in the heart of the emperor's grandson."

Hearing the title "Emperor Grandson", Xiao Shen's face suddenly turned ugly...Emperor Grandson refers to the grandson of the present son Yelu Hongzhan, the poor child who experienced the Yelu Yixin Rebellion.

His own father was killed by Zhang Xiaojie's good friend Yelu Yixin, and Zhang Xiaojie was relegated for this reason.

As for Xiao Shen's father, even though he was not part of Yelv Yixin's party, he was quite close, otherwise he would not have worshiped Zhang Xiaojie as his teacher.

The most important thing is that after Zhina Yelu Yixin, Xiao Shen became the emperor Yelu Hongji's most favored minister of You Rong. Originally, there were many party members in the court. During the court meeting, whenever he put forward his own words, he would be supported by the party members, and His Majesty almost It's all right.

This aroused the anger of some unscrupulous guys, that Xiao Tat also jointly impeached him with Xiao Wuna because he had great ambitions, bullying others, accepting bribes, doing all sorts of evil, almost standing shoulder to shoulder with Yelv Yixin.But he was scolded by the emperor.After all, his surname is Xiao, not Yelu.

That Yelv Yixin did so many things, it was because his ultimate goal was to go to the position of emperor of Daliao.In Daliao, only those with the surname Yelu are qualified to be emperors.

The emperor ignored it, but Xiao Shen had nothing to do with these two important ministers. Although these two people were not as favored by the emperor as himself, they had high hopes in the government and the public. What was important was that they had an extremely close relationship with the emperor's grandson. Then Xiao Wu Na even saved the life of the emperor's grandson during the Yelv Yixin Incident in the past.

The emperor's grandson Yelu Yanxi looked at him coldly when he heard that some officials impeached him as the traitor after Yelu Yixin. Until now, Xiao Shen still remembers it very vividly.

Maybe it was because he sat for too long, Zhang Xiaojie stood up, and started to walk around in this familiar study room, Xiao Shen's study room, he came here often, so naturally he was very familiar with it.

He casually took out a letter from the bookcase beside him, looked it over, shook his head slowly, and inserted it back until he found the one he was satisfied with. After reading it for a long time, he finally took the letter Putting it on the desk, he said to Xiao Shen who was already waiting a little anxiously.

"Nephew, don't you forget that Xiao Wuna, Xiao Tabuye and others are all very close to the emperor's grandson, and they are also enemies with you, nephew."

"The old man believes that as long as you use all means, it may be difficult to retain your status, but it is very easy to stay in the court. However, if you stay in the court, if something happens to your majesty, the emperor's grandson will take over.

In order to show his prestige, and to show off the long-standing hatred in his heart, he will settle with those ministers who harmed his father one by one. Are you the one who was criticized by the loyal ministers of Daliao as another Yelv Yixin? "

Xiao Shen put his hands on his back, with a miserable face, he kept pace in the study. "Hasn't His Majesty's body always been good? How come..."

"Your Majesty was fond of hunting in the past, so you are quite healthy, but after all, you are already sixty years old. In the past few years, I have experienced internal and external troubles one after another in Daliao. Your Majesty has a lonely and arrogant personality. Under repeated blows, alas..."

Xiao Shen walked up to Zhang Xiaojie and bowed deeply. "According to the master's opinion, what should my nephew do?"

"I would like to resign from the chancellor and guard Mubian Town. It would be best if I can get the post of the head of Hedong Road..." Zhang Xiaojie narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Only by guarding the border town of Mu can we hold the military power. My nephew understands this, but why do you want to go to that remote and bitter cold place instead of the place on the road to Nanjing." Xiao Shen couldn't help asking with a puzzled look on his face.

"That's because Hedong Road is far away from the power center of my Daliao, so that you can calmly deal with all emergencies." Zhang Xiaojie chuckled, just like the old fox who stole a fat chicken.

"Okay, that's all I've said, my nephew, I hope you will think about it carefully. Sometimes, you can take a step back and you will be able to broaden your horizons..." Zhang Xiaojie stood up, and looked towards Xiao Shenyi with a tired expression on his face. Bye, I'm leaving the study.

#####
Xiao Shen took two quick steps, grabbed Zhang Xiaojie's arm, and sent him to the side door in the backyard in a fawning manner, then stopped and saluted Zhang Xiaojie. "Also please slow down, sir. Forgive me for not being able to send my nephew far away."

"It's okay..." Xiao Minzhong walked out slowly with Xiao Minzhong helping him, and when he almost crossed the threshold, Zhang Xiaojie paused. "A land of one state is not as good as a land of one state, it shows more sincerity..."

Xiao Shen was taken aback for a moment, but that Zhang Xiaojie didn't stay any longer, instead his pace was three minutes faster, and he went out.

"This old man, at such a time, why are you fighting against me..." Xiao Shen returned to the study and sat down, narrowing his eyes, thinking over Zhang Xiaojie's words over and over again.

Especially the sentence when he was about to leave the house.Before he knew it, drowsiness hit him. The exhaustion of the journey made him unable to hold on any longer. He just lay down on the desk and fell into a deep sleep...

Until the next morning, Xiao Shen opened his eyes, stretched his numb arms, yawned big, and his gaze involuntarily fell on the open letter on the desk...
