Actually, the Shen Family has been having a really hard time lately.
The death of Luo Zuchen was already a major blow to the Shen Family.
The whole of Great Wei knows that Luo Zuchen and the Shen Family are currently in a mutually dependent relationship.
Luo Zuchen died in the Imperial Palace, whether or not it was the act of the Imperial Family, it already carries a sense of provocation.
Those previous threats from the Shen Family to Great Wei should actually be put into practice here.
Let the Imperial Court of Great Wei feel that the Shen Family’s words are not empty.
But the reality is right in front of us, and the Shen Family hasn’t reacted much.
Luo Zuchen is dead and gone.
The talk of opening the passes to let Great Wei suffer threats from Yan Country,
seems like none of it happened.
Now, some people have started to believe the Shen Family was bluffing.
The main issue the Shen Family faces now is internal problems.
Indeed, there has been a mutiny within the Eastern Garrison.
The strategy the court used with family letters proved highly effective; this tactic has made the people of the Shen Family suffer greatly.
Disorder in the military’s heart is contagious.
A few soldiers, once they learned their family members were being controlled by the court, quickly spread the news to others.
Not everyone can be like Shen Ye, solely focused on themselves.
In most people’s eyes, they are very reluctant to abandon their relatives.
What is the point of earning more rewards?
Isn’t it just to ensure a good life for the relatives at home?
Now that their family members at home are in mortal danger, how can they continue to fight?
The Shen Family did not expect the court to start with ordinary soldiers and infiltrate the entire Eastern Garrison.
They always thought that as long as they controlled the military leaders, everything would be safe and sound.
Now it seems, the frequent deployment of generals to the Eastern Garrison by the court was more like an effort to confuse the people of the Shen Family.
How to deal with this is the real major problem.
Most frightening of all, there’s no turning back once an arrow is released, and the Shen Family doesn’t even have the chance to retreat.
Regarding the Shen Family’s predicament, Shen Han also had some judgments in his mind.
First is the Imperial Family, it’s the court’s attitude.
Shen Han has also experienced this time how those people in the palace want to tightly hold onto everything.
The Shen Family, which has stationed troops for many years, hasn’t received much benefit.
On the contrary, many general families, such as the Su Family,
ultimately had a bad outcome. The Su Family was loyal, yet they still had their military power removed.
These are the most direct reasons that prompted the Shen Family to make this decision.
And the reason for this miserable outcome is still because the Shen Family’s foundation was insufficient.
They thought they had control over the military, but in fact, their understanding of the entire political situation was too simplistic.
There are many intelligent people in the world.
Those schemes and tactics, the ministers in the court probably played with them long ago and are even tired of them.
The Shen Family’s arrogance may also be one of the reasons they ended up like this.
Of course, for Shen Han, the worse off the Shen Family is, the better.
The worse it gets, he might even wake up laughing from his dreams.
In these days, Shen Qingshan occasionally found some leisure time.
He would sit alone in the courtyard.
Whenever Madam Shen wanted to talk to him, Shen Qingshan remained expressionless.
Whatever Madam Shen said, he listened, but never engaged in conversation with her.
The Shen Family is finding it increasingly difficult to proceed, and this mutiny may very well be a colossal mistake.
Compared to the worsening situation of the Shen Family, Shen Han is doing better and better.
Stepping into the Immortal Realm in one leap shocked the court and the public.
Moreover, the Yun Family relocated, directly moving next to the gates of Xiaoyao Peak.
One can assume that the Yun Family now surely has the protection of Xiaoyao Peak.
During this time, Shen Qingshan has also imagined in his mind.
