"Where have your sixth brother been these past two days? I heard from the people over there that none of them are home." Shortly after Shen Shujing left, a man wearing a wide-sleeved summer shirt wearing a pair of beads on the stone green ground crossed his arms. Shen Zangfeng took Shen Shuguang and Shen Shuxie into the pavilion.
The two sons paid their respects and had a conversation around their mother. Wei Changying asked them if they had any unfinished homework and let them go back to their rooms, leaving Shen Zangfeng alone.
Shen Zangfeng asked her a few questions about her diet, then rolled up his sleeves and peeled water chestnuts for her. After hearing this, he said, "He has been visiting friends these past two days."
"Really?" Wei Changying looked at him sideways, "But you don't know what kind of friend you are visiting?"
"I know you've always been kind to your sixth brother and sister." Seeing that he couldn't deal with it, Shen Zangfeng smiled and fed the peeled water chestnut to her mouth. After she ate it, he said, "But you also know that being a wife is not as good as being a wife." My daughter, the Huo family is in a bleak situation now, and it is inevitable that she will be in a bad mood. But I, the Shen family, are not sorry for her. She is always sad for the Huo family. The sixth brother has persuaded and coaxed her - you know the sixth brother's character. My son is also a little impatient, the sixth brother and sister have been listless, and he seems to be upset and can't help but linger outside."
Wei Changying frowned and said, "Isn't that right? The sixth brother and sister were a little too sad in the past two days, but haven't they recovered now? Jing'er came back today, and she even helped take care of Dian Dian! Now Jing'er is... Go and pick up Diandian from her. Do you think she will agree to take care of Diandian for you? That’s Jing’er’s only son!”
Shen Zangfeng smiled and said, "Really? Then I will meet my sixth brother later and say a few words to him."
He believed that a brother-in-law should not always interfere in his brother's affairs. After saying these two words, he changed the subject and said, "Just now there is news from the southwest."
Wei Changying picked a bunch of grapes from the fruit plate and handed them to him, indicating that he should peel and remove the seeds before asking, "What?"
"Your Majesty intends to integrate the armies." Shen Zangfeng said calmly.
"Integrate the armies?!" Guard Chief Ying couldn't help but frown, "What does this mean? You want us to hand over our military power?!"
Shen Zangfeng muttered: "That's what it means."
"Forget it about other families, but do the Liu family and our family also have to be friends?" Wei Changying thought for a while and said, "Who will resist Di Rong?" She felt that Wen Yaozi had really sinister intentions, "How many people did you send? After all, the soldiers who died were also soldiers, and most of them were our sons from Xiliang and Donghu. When Di Rong came in, our two families suffered the most losses... Are you planning to take advantage of this opportunity?"
"That's not the case." Shen Zangfeng peeled a grape, but did not give it to her. Instead, he said, "I just took it from the iceberg. It's too cold. Eat it slowly." Put a clean one aside. in the porcelain dish.
He continued, "Southwest has just suffered a disastrous defeat. Dayong is newly built with a shallow foundation. The news of such a defeat has already caused turmoil in both the government and the public, and even the harem is uneasy. At this time, His Majesty definitely does not dare to cause any trouble rashly. He just wants to take advantage of this situation. This is an opportunity to unify the troops in the expedition to the southwest. This is actually common sense. "
Yongjun - Initially, Yongjun refers to the direct lineage of Wen Yaozi. He calls himself Queen Yong, and his subordinates are naturally called Yongjun. After he ascended the throne as emperor and established the Yong Dynasty, all the subordinates who surrendered to him naturally changed their flags with the word "Yong".
However, Wen Yaozi could not directly command these non-lineage armies, but had to pass through their original generals or families.
At present, Dayong Guozuo is less than a year old.
There is no leisure time this year.
So this indirect command continued.
It's not that each family is clinging to military power. If Dayong's kingdom lasts long, as a minister, he will have a heavy army. Not only will the court not be able to sleep well, but the ministers themselves will also not be able to sleep well.
But with Dayong's current foundation, although every family has surrendered, there are still some things that they can't completely rest assured.
Under normal circumstances, if the southwest is conquered, there will be no more wars in the four borders, and the country will successfully enter a period of prosperity. At that time, everyone will have received titles and rewards, and they will have hope for the future, and they will be ready to hand over power.
Now that I heard that Yaozi was going to take over power in advance, it was not too unexpected because of the tragic defeat in Southwest China.
Guard Chief Ying thought for a moment and said: "The problem is that now he only controls the armies in the southwest, but sooner or later he will have to take charge of our soldiers stationed in Xiliang, right?"
"That will happen after the southwest is recovered." Shen Zangfeng said with a smile, "I have already made arrangements, so don't worry."
Wei Changying said: "The grapes are almost gone, give them to me!"
Shen Zangfeng brought the porcelain plate to her, and Wei Changying picked it up and ate it, saying, "Since it's a matter for the future, let's not worry about that for now... Today, Jing'er and I watched "Recommended by Relatives" Although there are some girls who are suitable for Shu Ming, there are always some unsatisfactory aspects. "
"As long as you have a good family background, are virtuous and sensible, and have good looks." Shen Zangfeng stretched out his hand to brush her hair on her temples and said warmly, "Don't worry too much - there will be no one else here, so I'll give you the bottom line: Shu Ming can judge his talents by himself. He is not a top-notch person in terms of appearance! He really hired an outstanding wife. Not to mention that these people often like to be strong, which makes them angry among their brothers. Shu Ming himself may not like it either. Do men really like that they are not as good as their wives?"
Wei Changying pondered for a while and said: "I know what you said. Let me tell you, Jing'er and I just saw a girl from the Qian family." She described Qian Qiongjiao's situation. , said regretfully, "This girl has both parents, and her brothers and sisters are all healthy and peaceful. It is said that she has a lively temperament - but her appearance is not that good."
Shen Zangfeng said disapprovingly: "When marrying a virtuous wife, good temperament is what matters. What are you afraid of about appearance? As long as there are no flaws or hidden diseases, if Shu Ming likes good-looking women, then he can have a few concubines by himself."
"When I was regretting it, Jing'er didn't tell Shu Ming what he meant by Miss Qian's family." Wei Changying reminded, "Young people love to be pretty. Jing'er is just a younger brother, so naturally I hope he can marry a happy wife. . Do you think that even if Shu Ming can take a concubine after marriage, a concubine is nothing more than a plaything? How can he compare with his wife? If he doesn't say anything in the name of us elders, I'm afraid he won't feel happy. There are so many pretty ladies, right? Why bother with this?"
Shen Zangfeng frowned for a moment and said, "Since Jing'er is not willing, then let's go ahead and pick another one." He then told her, "If Jing'er is too picky, just let her worry about it. You are pregnant now." Please don’t be too tired.”
"Where have you been thinking about?" Wei Changying heard that there was something wrong with his words. He took a closer look and laughed dumbly. He raised his hand and touched his face and said angrily, "You think Jing'er became Queen Ning and relied on her status. Put pressure on me? This kid is very sensible. He just looked at the candidates with me and advised me to take a rest. He also said that he was worried that I would be nervous... I just thought that now I am not in a hurry or have no choice, so I might as well get things done. It’s just a little better.”
Shen Zangfeng then smiled and said, "Jing'er has always been kind before, but I see that you love your children very much, don't spoil them to the point of being ignorant."
The captain of the guard spat: "I am willing to pamper them only if they are good! If they are ignorant, do you think I don't know how to act like an aunt?" She refuted her husband, but she was very happy in her heart - Shen Zangfeng doubted his niece but trusted her. , of course she is happy.
"You are very skilled at putting on the air of a tough wife." Shen Zangfeng sighed, "As for the air of aunt... I see that you have always been a loving mother to Yan'er and the others. If you put on such an air, you can scare people. Who?" He touched his chin and smiled, "Well, you scared me, you are really unfair to me!"
Without saying a word, Wei Changying pinched him: "Okay, why do you want to scare the child?!"
The two of them laughed and laughed for a while, then they heard a servant outside the pavilion cough slightly: "Master, urgent report from Xiliang!"
Hearing the word "urgent report", both husband and wife looked solemn. Wei Changying hurriedly let go of her husband's arm. When he sent his two sons away just now, Shen Zangfeng ordered his servants out in order to be alone with his wife. At this moment, he ordered someone to bring in an urgent report.
After opening the emergency report and taking a look at it, Shen Zangfeng's originally solemn expression became more relaxed. After reading it, he smiled at Wei Changying, who was looking at him eagerly, and whispered in his ear: "I will kiss you husband, and I will show it to you." Report urgently, otherwise..."
Hearing that he was still in the mood to tease, Wei Changying knew that the matter was not serious, so he felt relieved and pinched the soft flesh of his ribs with a smile: "What did you say?"
"It's getting more and more fierce." Shen Zangfeng sighed, "You are not a kind person when you meet someone! You are not a kind person when you meet someone!" As he said this, he gave her the urgent report - Wei Changying punched him a few more times before taking the letter. I came to see it, and after seeing it I was surprised: "Diecuiguan was attacked!?"
She lowered her voice and asked quietly, "Is it... Mo Ye?"
"Not only Mo Ye, but also Wu Gumeng." Shen Zangfeng smiled lightly and said, "Mo Ye is now married to another wife, Wugu Meng's youngest daughter, the thirteen-year-old Princess Aya."
Wei Changying was shocked: "Didn't Wugumeng and Mo Ye join forces?!"
"How can we threaten Diecuiguan without joining forces? How many people did Mo Ye bring back to the Di realm? No matter how skillful he is, the Di people are not like us in the Central Plains. They can recruit subordinates everywhere in the city... Ayitahu was defeated before, and the tribe Scattered in the vast grassland, even if he can find one or two, it is impossible to gather them in the shortest time! The fastest way is to find Wu Gumeng..." Shen Zangfeng took it calmly, "I didn't before. I gave Mo Ye this reminder just to see if he would do this. Now it seems that I did the right thing by letting him go. At least in the past few decades, if there is no accident, I will not need to interfere with Qiudi. ”
"Is this an attack, or is it?" Wei Changying turned over the emergency report over and over. Because it was impossible for Shen Zangfeng to escape into the wilderness privately and secretly fund it, it was impossible to put it on paper, so this emergency report was written as usual. Yes, if Shen Zangfeng didn't say anything, it would be impossible to tell the inside story. She wanted to know, so she had to ask her husband.
Shen Zangfeng put her on his shoulders and said lazily: "The beating is real. This kind of thing cannot be faked by one or two people. Once the flaw is discovered, won't it be troublesome? But the news is mine The person who ordered me to tell you that the Southwest has been defeated and the aliens are about to take over has begun to take over power. You must let him know that there are some places where he can take over, and there are places where he should be careful!" (To be continued)
