Chapter 185: Growth
At the beginning of May, it is far from the hottest time, but the atmosphere in Kyoto is so hot that it seems that it can be fried with a spoonful of oil and a spark. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The center of the topic is still Zhuang Shuqing, which is completely within her expectations.
She knows what it means to announce the world, everyone who has a little insight knows that from the dark road to the bright road, this is a topic, but on the same day, she announced that she would canonize the Sixth Highness as the crown prince, and no one can understand what she thinks in her heart.
She is now only one step away from that position, and it is rumored that the emperor has always wanted Bai Gongzi to succeed to the throne, but she has done so......
Could this be another royal secret?
Is Zhuang Shuqing willing to hand over the rights back?
The wind direction is getting a little subtle.
Zhuang Shuqing didn't care about this, she went to the Yitian Hall in a menacing manner.
Winde trotted to run.
The Emperor had expected her to come, and watched with a smile as she rushed in.
At that look, Zhuang Shuqing was like a basin of cold water splashed on his head, and the person suddenly calmed down, and his voice was also calm, "You didn't tell me before." ”
"Would you agree with that?"
Of course she wouldn't agree, she wouldn't be so stupid to put herself on the cusp, the person who could provide her with a shore was not here now, she wouldn't be so arrogant.
"Silly." Emperor Ren Wende added a big pillow behind him to make him more comfortable, "This is the justifiable prison country, if it is announced to the world from the beginning, it will definitely attract many people to be dissatisfied, but today, who will disagree?" ”
"You've done a lot of things, and I don't want future generations to take credit for yours. You don't value these things, but I can't take it for granted because you don't value them, and forget your hard work during this time. ”
Zhuang Shuqing had nothing to say.
The trouble is her unilateral determination, but in any respect, she is a beneficiary, and it is too hateful to get cheap and then sell her belief.
Sighing, Zhuang Shuqing's whole person was a little embarrassed.
The emperor looked funny, she didn't necessarily know what kind of benefits she would get, but she didn't have so much greed in her nature, just because she thought of the extra trouble, she came to Xingshi to ask for guilt. But it is precisely because of her true temperament that she loves her more and more.
He replied to Lan Zhixuan. Affected by her mood, Zhuang Shuqing's efficiency in batching excerpts today is much lower.
"Miss, General Xu asks to see you."
The expedition is imminent, and Xu Gongmao will come over for nothing more than this. Zhuang Shuqing looked up. "Ask him to come in."
It was not long before the next dynasty. Xu Gongmao was still wearing a court uniform, but he probably lost a lot of weight, and the court clothes were a little collapsed. Also, compared with the great shore of the past, the current General Xu is also a little old.
Although Jiang is old and spicy, but on the battlefield is not as good as other places, Zhuang Shuqing is not worried in her heart, otherwise she would not have added one protective lock after another, especially the third prince.
"The old minister has seen Miss Zhuang and His Royal Highness the Prince."
"General Xu doesn't have to be so polite, sit."
Looking at Zhuang Shuqing, who was becoming more and more calm on the other side, Xu Gongmao felt a lot of emotion in his heart, but he didn't show anything on his face, "Miss Zhuang, the old minister came to go on the expedition, and it was only four days before the day of the expedition, but the army was still nowhere to be seen, this ......"
"This is not an easy task, General Xu, rest assured, I will not let you go alone, if the manpower is not in time, you will lead the 200,000 people in the Taishan camp to the front line first, people, horses, food and grass, I will not lack anything."
Of course, Xu Gongmao knew that this was not easy, but the people on the front line were almost exhausted, and there was no horse, so there was nothing else.
He came here just to give himself a little confidence.
He knows very well that he is no longer young, and the previous injuries have not left him indelible damage, he knows very well that his physical condition is not in the best condition, but as long as he gives it to others, he must go up.
One of his sons lost his life there, and because there were no other generals available in the Zhou State, whether it was Wei Han or who, they were all generals raised by the prosperous world, they had not been tempered by fire and water, they had not fought in flesh and blood, they lacked that ruthlessness.
These can only be obtained from the war, but the Zhou State can no longer afford defeat.
If you lose again, you will be crushed for a thousand miles.
"General Xu, don't worry, Ju is not without worries, they don't dare to fight with the country." Zhuang Shuqing didn't know how to fight in ancient battles, but she knew how to cheer people up, "Wu Guo and Zhi Gu had a friendship. ”
Xu Gongmao's eyes lit up, if he could unite the martial arts, why should the Ju country be afraid!
The words that stopped at the point made Xu Gongmao have too much imagination, Zhuang Shuqing smiled incomprehensibly, and quickly changed the topic, "The emperor is very sorry for the matter of the eldest son, and I am so compassionate to me, but I don't approve of giving grace to the rest of the Xu family, General Xu, if I remember correctly, the eldest son has two sons and a daughter, right?" ”
"Exactly." Xu Gongmao vaguely understood her intentions, if she could really do so......
"I mean to be kind to these three children, but it can't be now, adversity is easier to become talents, General Xu said, right?"
Thinking of the tragic death of his eldest son, Xu Gongmao's eyes were red, and he bowed deeply to Zhuang Shuqing, "The Xu family has not known how many times Miss Zhuang has been in love, and the old minister thanks Miss Zhuang for bothering the Xu family in everything." ”
"Who let me have a disciple surnamed Xu, if the Xu family is not good, where can she study medicine with peace of mind." Sighing, Zhuang Shuqing said again: "General Xu just needs to go to the front line with peace of mind, and I will ensure that the Xu family is safe in Kyoto." ”
"Miss Zhuang's words, the old minister believes it." Xu Gongmao bowed deeply again, "With Miss Zhuang's words, the old minister dared to bring the two sons of the family together, the Xu family is a military general, and they can't always hide in a stable place." ”
"Is it okay to leave one?"
Xu Gongmao shook his head, "Miss Zhuang doesn't need to persuade the minister, the three sons have children under their knees, and they are already worry-free, the minister believes that if there is really that case, even for the sake of the Xu family's loyalty, no one will be embarrassed, the emperor will not allow it, and Miss Zhuang will protect him if he wants to." ”
Zhuang Shuqing was silent for a long time before nodding, "Don't make Mrs. Xu too sad, her body can't withstand the stimulation." ”
"The old minister is ashamed of her, but she should know on the first day she married into the Xu family, the Xu family is such a family, as a military general, she would rather die on the battlefield than be wasted in this safe place."
As soon as General Xu left, Zhuang Shuqing looked at Zhou Zhixiao, "What do you think?" ”
"Full of loyalty, if the generals have the heart of General Xu, the Zhou country is worry-free."
"If they are not, you will turn them into that, there is a saying that one soldier will be a bear, and a nest of bears will be bears, but if the monarch who is the supreme general is strong, who will dare to nest below."
"I see, Sister Zhuang."
Zhuang Shuqing nodded and raised his voice: "To the left." ”
Xiang left immediately came in through the door, "Miss Zhuang." ”
"If you don't care about it, can you use it on the Wu country's side?"
"Yes, Childe said before leaving, Miss Zhuang's words are his words, and all his manpower resources Miss Zhuang can use."
Zhuang Shuqing's heart was so sour that he covered his eyes for a while before he came to his senses, "Arrange for people to go to Wuguo, let Wuguo send troops to the border, and make preparations ready to participate in the war at any time, you don't need them to really fight Ju Guo, as long as Ju Guo can have some scruples." ”
"Yes."
"Are you sure?"
Xiang Zuo had a pride on his face, "As long as it is what Childe wants, they will do it." ”
"Go ahead."
Zhuang Shuqing didn't avoid Zhou Zhixiao about this, and he didn't explain it to him afterwards, and he didn't ask about it.
There are some things that you just need to know.
On the way back, Zhuang Shuqing keenly felt that the noise outside was louder than usual, if it weren't for the increase in guards, she was really worried that those people with inflated curiosity would one day stop her carriage and do something brainless.
When there were two days left before the expedition, there were troops arriving one after another, there were too many people, and they were all placed outside the city.
The hearts of those who are concerned about this matter are relaxed, it is one thing to fight behind closed doors, but no one wants to lose on the battlefield.
On the day of the expedition, Zhuang Shuqing did not send it, but Zhou Zhixiao sent it out of the city on behalf of the emperor and saw him off with a glass of water and wine.
Xu Jiaying's eyes were red when she entered the palace, and she cried again when she saw Zhuang Shuqing.
The fourth brother and sister, she is the youngest, she has always been pampered, and she was bullied by the three brothers and her father, but now, the eldest brother is gone, the second brother and the third brother and the father have gone to the battlefield, I don't know when it is the return date, she can't cry at home, and no one is better than her.
Zhuang Shuqing hugged her and followed her back like a child, "The Xu family is old, small, and you still have a little courage and courage in a group of women's families, and the Xu family will rely on you to support you in the future, and be stronger." ”
Xu Jiaying raised her head, revealing tears on her face, "Master, I'm not afraid, I can hold on, but the battlefield is changing rapidly, I'm worried." ”
"What's the use of you worrying that you can't go with you?" Wiping away her tears, Zhuang Shuqing at this time will still be the gentle, gentle doctor Zhuang in Yuanfu, "Take your vacation today, go back to accompany your mother, learn to be the backbone of the family, your mother can only rely on you now." ”
"Is it just like a master?"
Zhuang Shuqing was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with a smile, "Yes, like me, I don't want to be so strong, but when things come to the front, I can't help but be not strong, people can only force themselves to adapt to the environment and support the sky above their heads." ”
Xu Jiaying's tears kept rolling down, but the sobbing stopped, yes, she is no longer the fourth lady in the honey pot, she no longer has the capital to be weak, don't she be strong, is her family bullied?
Her tears, to whom to see? Master? can resist the master of a country, who can shed tears to?
Without her words of promise, Zhuang Shuqing also knew that this eldest disciple, who had a peace and separation experience, still carried the innocent and coquettish disciple and really grew up at this moment.
In this world, no one can get used to anyone for a lifetime, even if it is the man who is so strong that he is not by her side? (To be continued.) )
