C998 No Penalty
Shen Muqing said, "Then let me be frank with him. Zhang Xutuo has come back. What I ask of you is that I ask Third Brother not to convict Zhang Xutuo."1
Ying Zheng Shen Mu said, "You want to protect Zhang Xutuo? This was impossible! The military and laws of China are strict. Even if I am Minister of Military, I cannot falsely or unofficially pardon Zhang Xutuo. "
Shen Muqing said in a clear voice, "For a great general, one must have a holistic view. How can one only look at the outcome of a battle? This king does not want Third Brother to pardon Zhang Xutuo, but just do not punish him for now. After Wagang Stronghold is destroyed, it will not be too late to punish him according to the rules.
Ying Zheng thought for a moment: "If that's the case, then this King can agree to not punishing Zhang Xutuo." He was also willing to do this favor. This way, he would have no burdens even if he attacked Shen Muqing.
Shen Muqing smiled at Ying Zheng and said, "Thank you, Third Brother."
Among the military generals, Zhang Xutuo's face revealed an excited expression. It was not because Shen Muqing spared him from his crimes, but because he knew that Shen Muqing believed in him and believed that he had the ability to turn the situation around.
General Zhang Xutuo had also lived his life from hundreds of battles and was not afraid of death. He was afraid that he would not be able to protect his days. Now that Shen Muqing had fought over the opportunity for him, he wanted to sacrifice Shen Muqing.
After the assembly ended, everyone left. Zhao Kuangyin, Liu Che and Shen Muqing walked together, and when they arrived outside the palace, Zhao Kuangyin asked: "Is there any hidden reason behind Ninth Brother's suppression of Kingdom of Tang?"
"Why do you say that, Seventh Brother?" Shen Muqing was surprised.
Zhao Kuangyin said, "If there's no hidden reason, why would Zhou Steel give up such a great credit to Third Brother? It must be known that if the suppression of Yang Xuangan to save Sixth Brother was completed, then the merit of such achievement would be greater than the heavens! "
Shen Muqing said, "Seventh Imperial Brother has misunderstood and there is no hidden reason. As I said, if you want to kill Yang Xuangan, you only need to send out four troops to guard the road, but the process is very complicated. Sigh, since you want to destroy the people, you have to pacify them."
Liu Che said, "This matter might seem quite troublesome, but as long as we do it we'll be able to obtain the credit. Why not?"
Shen Muqing waved his hand, "Since Third Brother can do it himself, why should This King bother with it? Right now, this duke has a lot of things to do, and to raise Bank of China, I need to break through to the Emperor Stage.
Shen Muqing's words made Liu Che, Zhao Kuangyin, a little speechless. This guy actually gave all his credit to Ying Zheng. In their eyes, it was a bit inconceivable. It was precisely because of this that Shen Muqing seemed so extraordinary.
Liu Che sighed in his heart. Although they did not understand Shen Muqing's actions, it did not affect their admiration for Shen Muqing. Such a noble attitude was worthy of deep friendship.
After walking out of the palace, Zhao Kuangyin and Liu Che were ready to let Shen Muqing drink and have fun with them. Shen Muqing thought it was nothing important, but just as he was about to agree, Shangguan Haitang walked over and said to Shen Muqing, "This official greets His Highness Prince of Han, His Highness Prince of Sung!"
Shen Muqing said, "Pardon me, what's the matter?"
Shangguan Haitang stood up and said excitedly, "The Prince told me to look for Shen Wansan earlier and I've found him. Now, Shen Wansan has been invited by us to come back!"
Shen Shen Muqing's eyes lit up. "Good news! Bring him to the Wu Steel Manor. This King will go back right now!"
