Chapter 94: Shen Shilang has already started on the path to becoming a powerful official!

Emperor Jiacheng nodded and said nothing more.

"I will reward you handsomely for your achievements on this trip," said Emperor Jiacheng. "You can go down first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I'll take my leave." Shen Shilang still backed away to the door before leaving.

Emperor Jiacheng thought about it and asked Eunuch Shen to summon Grand Tutor Liu over.

Emperor Jiacheng told Grand Tutor Liu about the outcome of the discussion he had had with Shen Shilang regarding how to deal with Wei Zhaoxian.

"What Shen Shilang said is indeed correct. This is the most appropriate punishment at the moment." Grand Tutor Liu was a little surprised. "I didn't expect that Shen Shilang, who is so young, could have such a far-reaching plan."

He was supervising the army alone, with no one else to discuss things with, and he only learned about Wei Zhaoxian's affairs after he arrived.

He was able to come up with such a far-reaching plan in such a short period of time.

Master Liu lowered his head slightly, feeling a little apprehensive.

This kid Shen Shilang is a bit scary.

Look at him, he risked his life and almost died for a better future. He can no longer be described as brave and resourceful.

It is truly terrifying to see a person who is willing to sacrifice his life for his future.

"What Shen Shilang said does make sense. The Northwest Army cannot be handed over to any other general in the court." Emperor Jiacheng said, "They all have their own military power. If there is another Northwest Army, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to deter them in the future. The example of Wei Zhaoxian is right in front of me. I will never repeat the same mistake."

Master Liu's heart tightened, and he asked, "Does your majesty have a suitable candidate in mind?"

"I called you here to discuss this matter." said Emperor Jiacheng.

Grand Tutor Liu looked at Emperor Jiacheng's expression. Based on his understanding of Emperor Jiacheng, he knew that Emperor Jiacheng should have already had an idea in his mind.

Emperor Jiacheng said that he was discussing it with him, but in fact he was just waiting for his agreement.

"What are your plans, Your Majesty?" asked Grand Tutor Liu.

"I plan to hand over the Northwest Army to the second brother." said Emperor Jiacheng.

Master Liu was startled, "Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

The Crown Prince must be furious if such a large Northwest Army is handed over to the Second Prince! "Although the Northwest Army is handed over to the Second Prince, I will give the Tiger Talisman to Shen Shilang for safekeeping." Emperor Jiacheng seemed very proud of his own wisdom, "I plan to promote him to the rank of Fourth-Rank Loyal and Martial General, temporarily take charge of the Tiger Talisman, and sit in the capital."

Master Liu: “…”

He was speechless for a moment.

Emperor Jiacheng's move was so outrageous that it left people speechless.

But at the same time, he was shocked by how fast Shen Shilang was promoted.

Even though he knew that Emperor Jiacheng had already made up his mind and it was impossible to change it, he still couldn't help but say, "Shen Shilang just won the third place in the imperial examination. He hasn't been in the Imperial Academy for long, nor has he left Beijing to take up his post and gone through a performance assessment. Isn't he being promoted too quickly?"

Emperor Jiacheng's face suddenly darkened, and Grand Tutor Liu lowered his head and said, "I am not questioning your majesty's decision, but I am worried that Shen Shilang is too young. If he is promoted several levels suddenly, he will become arrogant and lose his sense of proportion."

"Besides, Shen Shilang is just a scholar. It may be difficult to convince the people if we make him a general." Grand Tutor Liu said slowly.

"He lost his sense of propriety, so I will dismiss him. His position was conferred by me, so I can also remove it." Emperor Jiacheng said without caring at all, "Although he is a scholar, he broke through the ambush of the Turks this time and saved Wei Zhaoxian. Who can still say that he is just a scholar?"

Emperor Jiacheng smiled and said, "I know what you are worried about."

"You are worried that the tiger talisman is in his hands, and the crown prince and the second son are vying to win him over." Emperor Jiacheng said, "I have already prepared for this."

Master Liu: “…”

He had a premonition that Emperor Jiacheng was about to do something outrageous again.

"I will appoint him as the Crown Prince's Junior Tutor to teach the Fifth Prince." Emperor Jiacheng said, "The Fifth Prince is still young and cannot study with the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. Let Shen Shilang teach him first."

Master Liu took a deep breath, and finally couldn't help but said in shock: "Your Majesty, the Prince's Master is a second-rank master!"

A newly-appointed scholar, in less than half a year, rose from the sixth rank to the fifth rank of Imperial Censor, performing the duties of a military supervisor.

After coming back, he was promoted to the rank of the fourth-rank loyal general, and he was also given the rank of the second-rank junior teacher? ! Shen Liangyu had never been promoted so quickly before! "It's just an empty title." Emperor Jiacheng said nonchalantly, "The fifth prince is still young, and he has the crown prince and the second prince above him. The fifth prince is young and has no competitiveness. Even if Shen Shilang becomes his teacher, what impact can it have?"

"Moreover, the fifth prince's mother's family is weak, and Shen Shilang is equivalent to the fifth prince's camp." When he said this, Emperor Jiacheng himself laughed.

What kind of camp can a young prince belong to?

"He has nothing to do with the Crown Prince and the Second Son." Emperor Jiacheng took two steps and said, "Besides, I am still here, and all my subjects can only be loyal to me. How can they form a party privately!"

"If Shen Shilang dares to have any inclination towards the Crown Prince or the Second Prince," Emperor Jiacheng looked fierce, "I will kill him."

Master Liu: “…”

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Emperor Jiacheng would never have dreamed that everything he said to Grand Tutor Liu was heard clearly by Su Jinshi.

After listening to this, Su Jinshi told Shen Shilang.

"Of course I don't have any preference for the Crown Prince and the Second Prince." Shen Shilang sneered, "Whether it's the Crown Prince or the Second Prince, if they take the throne, they will just be another Emperor Jiacheng."

"Of course, it is better to have a prince who has been carefully trained since childhood." Shen Shilang said lightly.

Su Jinshi took a deep breath. Shen Shilang was already on the path to becoming a powerful official!

They have already started training a little puppet emperor.

The imperial edict dismissing Wei Zhaoxian from his military post was first sent to the Northwest Army at full speed.

The news that Wei Zhaoxian was dismissed from his military post spread throughout the court and the country, and as expected, the whole court was in an uproar, followed by sighs.

"General Wei has been fighting for decades, but I didn't expect that he would end up like this." Someone sighed quietly in private.

"Although he made a mistake this time, it's not serious enough to warrant dismissal from the military."

"It's just that General Wei has been very cautious over the years and has never made any mistakes, so he has never been caught. Why is he so careless this time?"

"It's more than just an accident. It seems like..."

It's as if he made mistakes on purpose to be caught by the one above him.

But no one dared to speak or listen to the following words.

"From now on, don't call him General anymore." Someone reminded him, "He doesn't hold any official position now. If you continue to call him that, it will only bring trouble to both of us."

It brings disaster to not only himself but also to Wei Zhaoxian.

Emperor Jiacheng originally wanted to find fault with Wei Zhaoxian, but this time he only dismissed him from his military post because Wei Zhaoxian had made great contributions to the country before, and Emperor Jiacheng had no choice but to offset his merits and demerits.

All court officials knew that Emperor Jiacheng was still looking for an opportunity to boil the frog in warm water.

If another mistake is found, Wei Zhaoxian will be in serious trouble even if he doesn't die.
