Whether General Shen can come out of retirement depends not on General Shen but on the Emperor.

In order to allow General Shen to come out of retirement openly, Su Fengyi entered the palace again.

A few days ago, Captain Zhu recognized a young eunuch as his younger brother in front of the emperor, and then used this channel and Wutong to pass some news to Su Fengyi.

For example, that day, Pei Yu proposed that General Shen be the commander-in-chief but failed to do so. Su Fengyi also heard about it from Captain Zhu.

Pei Yu always plans before taking action. He is not the kind of person who loses his temper and makes random moves.

So Su Fengyi knew as soon as she heard it that Pei Yu was using this matter to test the emperor's ability and attitude. Perhaps the result did not satisfy Pei Yu, so he never mentioned it again.

If the emperor was born in an ordinary wealthy family, as a young master without power, he would at most be a troublesome child.

But being born in an imperial family and holding the greatest power in the world, the emperor's actions were incredibly destructive, and he was far from the monarch the Pei family expected.

In addition to winning over the Pei family and forming an alliance with them, Su Fengyi pushed Pei Yu to the position of second assistant. There was another most important reason: the Jiangnan Pei family was also known as the prime minister's family.

Over the hundreds of years of the Pei family, no less than ten prime ministers and cabinet ministers have emerged.

The future head of the family, who was trained by the Pei family with all their strength, was born with the genes, traditions, vision and knowledge to assist the monarch.

The emperor ascended the throne at a young age, and Lord Yang was bedridden. Under the influence of Qiao Gui, his three views had become distorted. Su Fengyi hoped that under the influence of Pei Yu, the emperor could change and become a qualified monarch.

But now it seems that Pei Yu is pulling on one side and Qiao Gui is pulling on the other side. As long as Qiao Gui, this scourge, remains, the emperor will never be well.

If it doesn't work, then kill him!

When the matter of the little prince of the Northern Tartars was resolved and the foreign rebellion was quelled, Su Fengyi would first take Qiao Gui as a sacrifice.

But now, the emperor still relies on Qiao Gui in everything, and if he wants to get things done, he can only use unconventional methods.

The first thing to do is to separate Qiao Gui and the emperor.

Secondly, if we want the current emperor to make a decision, it is useless to ask him to make multiple-choice questions. Instead, we should package the situation so that he can make the decision unintentionally.

So when Su Fengyi entered the palace, she found out that the emperor was discussing matters with Lord Pei in the study of Qilin Palace, and then she ran in excitedly and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, guess what rare and strange thing I know?"

The emperor was worried that the general of Xuanfu was too useless. He ordered troops to be sent for rescue as soon as they met the enemy.

Why save such a useless thing? Just let it die.

The emperor didn't even want to save him, but with the enemy at the doorstep, he had to. If he didn't, the enemy would attack.

Especially since Pei Yu had just finished explaining to the emperor that it was less than 300 miles from Xuanfu to the capital, and the northern barbarians were all cavalry, and their fast horses could set out in the morning and arrive in the evening.

In other words, the Northern Tartar Army could be in Xuanfu in the morning, but could reach the capital and the emperor's feet in the evening.

The scene described by Pei Yu and the four words "under the feet of the emperor" finally made the emperor think of himself. Because of the association with himself, the emperor finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

That means the Northern Tartar Army is coming. If they break into the capital and break into the palace, he will die under swords and spears even if he is the emperor.

The emperor felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he should have chosen a commander-in-chief a few days ago and replaced the useless Xuanfu general early on. None of the current things would have happened.

But who should be sent to rescue?

Although there are many military generals in the Da Mu Dynasty, the emperor has not attended court for many years and does not know many of them. It would be really difficult for the emperor to choose one from them.

The Emperor couldn't make up his mind, and Qiao Gui and Lord Pei didn't agree. Just when he was in a dilemma, Su Fengyi came running over.

Su Fengyi said something unusual, and the emperor's attention was immediately diverted. He asked:

"What rare and strange thing is this? Tell me quickly."

Su Fengyi looked at Pei Yu and then at Qiao Gui.

Pei Yu understood the elegant meaning by hearing the strings:

"Since the emperor has something to do, I will take my leave first."

Qiao Gui refused to leave, and even started to act dumb:

"Your Highness, what is it?"

Su Fengyi suddenly realized:

"Your Majesty, you are in a meeting? I'll come back later."

Su Fengyi was about to leave after saying this.

How could we miss such a rare event that finally happened? The emperor said hurriedly:

"Don't leave, my sister. We haven't discussed anything yet. You two should go out first. I have something to say to my sister."

Since the emperor had given way, even if Qiao Gui didn't want to leave, he could only retreat quietly.

After making sure that there was no one else, Su Fengyi came close to the emperor and said excitedly in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, do you still remember that you wrote a memorial to General Shen some time ago, asking him to raise one million taels of silver in three months?"

The emperor naturally remembered it. One million taels was such a huge sum of money that even an emperor who was used to wealth and luxury would think about it every day.

Seeing the emperor's sister asking this, the emperor couldn't help but ask with anticipation:

"But is there any clue?"

Su Fengyi nodded excitedly:

"Exactly, exactly!

Ten years ago, General Shen went to kill the Northern Tartar King. He passed by a place that he didn't know was the Northern Tartar Altar or somewhere else. There was an underground palace underneath. There were countless gold, silver and treasures inside, more than a million taels!"

The emperor's eyes suddenly lit up:

"and after?"

Su Fengyi asked in confusion: "What happened later?"

The emperor was really anxious:

"Did General Shen take everything in his pocket later?"

Su Fengyi looked righteous:

"How is that possible? General Shen was going to fight. How could he bring these burdens with him during a rapid march? Naturally, he did not take a penny and went to kill the Northern Tartar King."

How can it be a burden? It is obviously a treasure!

There are so many treasures in front of you, but you don’t want to take any of them. You are simply crazy!

The emperor is really going to be pissed off.

The emperor felt sad when he thought that there were so many treasures lying quietly somewhere in the northern barbarians, but they did not belong to him.

The emperor will not give up until he gets them.

As a result, Su Fengyi changed the subject and said:

"I didn't get it last time, so I'll go get it this time. General Shen said he probably remembers the location, so let's go look for it. Maybe we can find it, and then the one million taels of silver will be found.

But now the little prince of the Northern Tartars is blocking Xuanfu, so he has to be dealt with first.

If you don't sort it out, you'll go to the Northern Tartars and dig three feet deep to get the silver. What will you do if such a large sum of money is robbed by the Northern Tartars? Your Majesty, do you think so? "

The emperor thought it was right, but he was just worried:

"I heard that General Shen is dying. How can he find the secret treasure?"

Su Fengyi frowned when she heard this and said angrily:

"Nonsense, General Shen is so good that he can chop the little prince of the Northern Tartars in half with one axe, so what's wrong with him? He's obviously very good!

Your Majesty, do you want these treasures? It’s too late. If someone else finds them first, they will be gone.”

The emperor immediately became nervous:

"In that case, what are you waiting for! Hurry up, let General Shen go now. I will appoint General Shen as the commander-in-chief now. I will destroy the Northern Tartar Army for me and retrieve the secret treasure!"
