Volume 1 Chapter 44 Resigning from the Court

Early the next morning, Chen Yin, accompanied by Chu Ze, went to the palace to attend the morning court.

After entering the palace gate, Shen Yin clearly felt the gazes of people coming and going towards him.

Chu Ze: "General, these people are too disrespectful to you. They keep looking at you."

Chen Yin looked at the people coming and going, and then looked at the square and tall walls of the palace.

Pursing his lips, he said, "I'm afraid the sky in this palace is going to change today!"

"Let's go, it's a blessing, not a disaster, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided!"

After entering the court, Shen Yin felt the gazes of these officials on him, which were indeed too unscrupulous.

"Why are you all unhappy in this capital?"

After hearing this, the Prime Minister said, "General Shen, you are too kind. You have led the soldiers to victory and have spent your entire life in the military. The peaceful life we ​​enjoy in this capital is certainly due to your greatest contribution."

Seeing the cold aura he exuded, the other gazes immediately retracted after looking at him.

The ministers who were trying to smooth things over also came over and said, "General Shen has been leading the army in battle for over three months. It's really been hard work."

Faced with all kinds of flattery and scrutiny, Shen Yin did not talk too much.

Not long after, I heard the director of the palace shouting that the emperor had arrived!

When the morning court officially began, the person sitting on the throne looked at him.

As his eyes wandered, I had no idea what that person in a high position was thinking.

After a long while, he said, “My dear Lord Shen, you went to war for me and pacified the world. Now the prosperity of the four directions must be attributed to the soldiers of the world. The greatest credit goes to them.”

"Lord Shen has made great contributions to me this time."

Shen Yin: "It is an honor for a minister to serve the emperor, and it is also an honor for soldiers all over the world."

"I heard that Lord Shen was struck by a hail of enemy arrows in the final battle."

"I wonder if he has recovered now? How is his health?"

Looking at the person sitting on the throne high above, his eyes revealed not warmth but coldness.

Chen Yin then said, "In the last battle, I was indeed hit by a hail of enemy arrows, but I am fine now."

"That's good, that's good!"

At this moment, a voice came out of nowhere and said, "General Shen is really showing off this time. He even ordered the death of the Grand Tutor's daughter!"

Following this voice, Shen Yin looked over and found that these were the followers of the Grand Tutor who had originally assisted the emperor in ascending the throne.

Although I knew before entering the palace that I would definitely face various difficulties because of Yu Xi's matter.

But what he didn't expect was that these people dared to attack him so openly.

It seems that because they have lived in the desert for a long time, away from the court, this group of people have gradually become more and more presumptuous.

I just don't know whether this group of people are becoming more and more arrogant because of the support of the Grand Tutor or the instruction of the person sitting on the dragon throne.

"It seems that Your Excellency is particularly well-informed about Yu Xi's death?"

At this time, the man who had just come to Cambodia said, "General Shen, please don't jokingly slander me. Who doesn't know about such a small matter?"

Chen Yin's eyes gradually turned cold, and he turned around and said, "So in your mind, Minister, military affairs are actually trivial matters, and they are actually known to everyone."

As soon as Shen Yin said this, the minister immediately knelt down and apologized, "Your Majesty, I did not mean what General Shen said. I hope Your Majesty will understand."

At this moment, the true emperor sitting on the dragon throne frowned slightly after hearing the voice.

"Yes, it's ridiculous that my army can't even block such a small piece of news right now!"

"It seems that you ministers have been particularly idle recently. You ministers in the capital are actually well aware of my military affairs."

As soon as the man in the dragon robe said this, the ministers below began to panic and feel extremely uneasy.

The minister who had just spoken about Yu Xi turned pale instantly, and upon closer inspection, his entire body was trembling slightly.

Chen Yin thought to himself, "The court is really lively today, but I don't know what the emperor is thinking today."

At this moment, the emperor suddenly said: "My dear Lord Shen, you have pacified the four directions for me and have made great contributions. I grant you a hereditary title."

After hearing this, Shen Yin's heart skipped a beat.

The emperor whom he had assisted wholeheartedly finally had other ideas. This test really caught him off guard!

The voice knelt respectfully in the hall and said, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace, but I have spent half my life in the military and returned seriously injured. Now I just want to retire to the countryside and live a peaceful life."

Then he looked at the emperor again, read his expression, and continued, "I hope Your Majesty will agree to this request of yours."

After Shen Yin finished speaking, the hall suddenly became silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

The emperor sitting on the throne didn't say a word for a long time.

The atmosphere in the hall seemed to become subtle!

"Are you truly not interested in government affairs, my dear, and wish to retire to the countryside?"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to surrender all my military power and return to the countryside to live a simple life as a farmer."

The emperor looked up and saw that there was innocence between Shen Yin's eyebrows, without any resentment.

Besides, he had long wanted to take control of all military power in his own hands, and at this moment, Shen Yin was quite sensible.

While the emperor was in a state of confusion, Chen Yin had already taken out the military order and presented it with both hands.

Until this moment, the Emperor gave up the temptation and asked his men to bring up the military order.

When he had the military order completely in his hands, he said, "Since Mr. Shen has no intention of serving in government, I will reward you with ten thousand taels of gold and allow you to return to your countryside!"

Hearing these words coming from above, Shen Yin finally let go of his hanging heart.

As expected, he was not wrong. The young emperor was really afraid that his achievements would overshadow the emperor, and he had long wanted to take back the military order.

Fortunately, this time I was able to take advantage of the emperor's intention and escape unscathed!

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your reward!"

The Emperor saw that the military order he had planned had been obtained, and Chen Yin had voluntarily returned to the countryside, so he put down the stone in his heart.

"Since all my dear ministers have nothing to do, let's adjourn the court!"

Just like that, Chen Yin left the daunting palace amid the constant discussions of the ministers!

Even if one is extremely rich here, that person still has the final say. Who can guarantee that one will have a safe and smooth life?

I don't want to put my life in the hands of such a suspicious and heartless person.

It would be better to give up the military power voluntarily and return to the countryside to accompany Yan'er!

The moment he left the palace, Shen Yin said in his heart: “Yan’er, wait for me, I’m here to accompany you!”
