Chapter 338 Extra Chapter: Removing the Armor (Part 3)
After learning about Shen Yunshan's plans, Ye Yunshu immediately offered him suggestions.
“Your idea is good. I’ve also wanted to go out and see the world for a long time. Shi Wei is still young and it’s not time for her to work in the Inspection Department yet. What she needs is to go out and see more of the outside world, which will be beneficial for her in the future.”
Furthermore, we need to go out and see more things to learn about what's happening down there that we don't know about in the capital.
"You're right, we need to go out more!" Ye Yunshu's attitude was also very firm.
"Then what about my job as the commander of the Imperial Guards..." Shen Yunshan looked at Ye Yunshu cautiously.
"I quit. Whoever wants to do it can do it!" Ye Yunshu said immediately.
"Then who will it be for?" Shen Yunshan asked in a low voice.
After a quick thought, Ye Yunshu knew exactly what she needed to do.
First of all, we definitely can't say that we should send someone from the Huangfu family to take over this task. If we specifically ask the Huangfu family to take over this task...
The Ninth Master of the Huangfu family will definitely have to go back to the capital. At that time... the Seventh Master will definitely know what's going on.
The seventh brother also wished he could shed his burdens and run off to the southwest!
"Let's choose someone from your Shen family!" Ye Yunshu had an idea in mind.
Shen Yunshan...
“Still choosing someone from the Shen family? Who should we choose! No one is suitable! Yun Chuan went to the North and refused to come back no matter what. Grandfather also intends to train Yun Chuan so that he can take over the military affairs of the North.”
"No one else in the Shen family is willing!" Shen Yunshan couldn't think of anyone else to turn to.
Ye Yunshu leaned forward.
"Isn't there any of your nephews who could be promoted even slightly?" Ye Yunshu asked.
Shen Yunshan carefully examined his nephews...
Although those nephews were young, they had their own goals from a young age, and they all wanted to go north.
They said that the Shen family's ancestor, the Duke of Dingguo of Dayu, led the Weiyuan Army and became a well-known war god in the north. The Shen family should be on warhorses and on the battlefield.
No matter who it is, everyone wants to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy.
As for becoming the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards... none of them wanted to.
Who wants to wander around the palace every day? Everyone in the Shen family knows that you can come back from the North and join the Imperial Guard, but if you join the Imperial Guard from the start, it will be difficult to go back to the North later.
So they respected Shen Yunshan a lot, but if you asked them to take over Shen Yunshan's position... they all ran faster than rabbits.
“They… definitely don’t want to!” Shen Yunshan shook his head.
"This isn't a matter of willingness! Just tell me which of your nephews is capable and has the ability."
"I'll have the seventh prince draft the decree, and have Jue-ge'er affix his seal," Ye Yunshu said immediately.
"This...isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Shen Yunshan still felt a little sorry for his nephew.
The Shen family has taken over the position of Grand Commander, which basically means they'll be doing it for life.
"There's nothing wrong with that! Does that mean protecting the palace isn't a big deal in their eyes?"
Or is it that protecting His Majesty's safety is not a big deal in their eyes?
"Isn't the Shen family always the most loyal to the emperor and the country? Isn't protecting His Majesty a matter of loyalty to the emperor? Isn't it a big deal?" Ye Yunshu asked rhetorically.
Shen Yunshan...
He was still a little embarrassed, perhaps because he didn't want to take advantage of his nephew.
Ye Yunshu, however, felt nothing to be ashamed of. After all, she had also tricked her own nephew.
When the retired emperor abdicated, he told her that he would wait until Juege came of age before passing the throne to her.
Didn't she only reign as emperor for four years before eagerly passing the throne to Juege'er?
She even cheated her own nephew, so what's wrong with cheating Shen Yunshan's nephew?
There's absolutely no psychological pressure!
Shen Yunshan had nothing to say.
"Actually, they are all good kids. You can bring them into the Imperial Guard first."
The North is peaceful now and there's no shortage of people, so they can't go there for the time being, right?
It would be better to send them to the Imperial Guard. At least the Imperial Guard is a job. They can go when the garrison in the north is rotated or when someone from the Shen family returns.
You reassure them that they will definitely be sent north whenever the opportunity arises.
However, there is a strict requirement for going to the North: you must have done any kind of job before. You can't go to the North if you haven't done any jobs before.
"Go back and say that, and see who's willing!" Ye Yunshu suggested to Shen Yunshan.
"Really? Will this work?" Shen Yunshan was still uneasy.
"Why not? At worst, I'll talk to Seventh Brother and tell him to be more careful. Whenever there's a job in the North, he should prioritize sending the Imperial Guards there."
"Does this give them a chance to go north?" Ye Yunshu continued to bluff.
Shen Yunshan nodded, deciding to follow Ye Yunshu's advice and go back to fool his younger nephews.
Watching Shen Yunshan leave in a hurry, Ye Yunshu felt a sense of satisfaction.
She finally has a chance to go out and wander around. She will definitely learn from her father and travel around so that others don't know where she is.
Another option is to stay away for a longer period, perhaps three to five years, before returning.
Furthermore, once outside the capital, one would travel all over the country.
Song Zhimian, Mu Xiao, and Lan Qian have all been out playing for so long, so I can't spend less time out than them...
We should at least visit all the places they've been to.
Shen Yunshan will drive the carriage, and Shi Wei will ride in it with him. The three of them will go out and have a good look around, no longer trapped in this imperial city.
Thinking about it this way, Ye Yunshu wished Shen Yunshan would immediately resign from his position as Commander of the Imperial Guards.
As for whether the seventh brother will disagree...
Heh, if he dares to disagree, I'll personally drag him to approve the document...
This is outrageous! Does he even acknowledge her as his elder sister anymore?
...
After returning to the Shen family, Shen Yunshan first went to the courtyard of the old lady of the Shen family and told her that Ye Shiwei would come to celebrate the old lady's birthday the day after tomorrow along with the gifts prepared by Ye Yunshu.
Upon hearing this, Madam Shen was overjoyed.
"Okay, I'll have someone make proper preparations right away, and I'll make sure Shi Wei is happy."
Um... what did Shi Wei like to eat again? Was it the hibiscus cake from Jiu Yao Lou?
That must be eaten fresh out of the oven.
I'll send someone to invite the pastry chef from Jiuyaolou Restaurant to come over and have him make some pastries for Shiwei at home that day.
"Brother Shan, is there anything else? If not, you can leave now! I have things to do here and don't have time to talk to you."
After saying that, Madam Shen pulled the mothers around her to discuss what to prepare for the day after tomorrow and what aspects needed further planning...
...
Having been rebuffed, Shen Yunshan had no choice but to head towards the martial arts training ground where his nephews were practicing.
Seeing his nephews sweating profusely, Shen Yunshan thought for a moment and then waved to them.
"Come here, all of you, I have something to say to you!"
