The next day, Shen Guo still carried out the government normally, and Shen Huangzun was above the court, sometimes admonishing the ministers, sometimes educating the princes, sometimes dealing with state affairs, and sometimes discussing the way to govern the country.

"Report~" A soldier hurriedly ran over, knelt down and said: "Report to Your Majesty, the soldiers on the border of Yan are pressing the border, and they are currently ready to move, and they seem to have the intention of violating my border." ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the court were all terrified, and they were all looking at each other to keep warm, Shen Huangzun looked at the reactions of the ministers, and said majestically: "Whatever you panic, be quiet." ”

The ministers bowed their heads to him and did not dare to say anything more.

"Inquire quickly, and report to me every other hour. ”

"Yes. "The squire of the military department has gone down.

"Your Majesty, there is a change at the border, Rong Weichen will go first, sweep away the thieves, clean up the filth, and show my great Shen Guowei. Shen Kuo stood up and said.

"The general is worthy of being the minister of my Shen State, but don't be in a hurry first, first see what Yan Guo's intentions are. Shen Huangzun said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Rong Chen said one more thing, those people in the Yan Kingdom have no good things, they are all chaotic ministers and thieves, they all have the heart of a tiger and a wolf, and they will not die if they violate the heart of my Shen Kingdom, they should have been killed a long time ago. Shen Kuo said unashamedly.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has a plan, and it all depends on Your Majesty's decision, you can implement the plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, hasn't the Qi State always been interested in the leather mill at the junction of Yan and Qi? A white-haired old man said.

"Although Shen Guo is a lot older, and his temples have turned white, the degree of this old treacherous and cunning is really admirable!" Shen Kuo said with a smile.

"How dare you, hehehe, hey, they are all loyal to the country, so what's the matter with being cunning?" said Shen Guogong with a smile.

"Hahaha. The ministers laughed.

Shen Huangzun smiled and looked at the two of them, but he was not in a hurry to show his attitude.

"Any suggestions?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead 100,000 elite soldiers and go straight to the border of Yan and Shen, if Yan Guo dares to take a step, they will definitely be killed in a river of blood. ”

"Hahaha, isn't this General Shen's righteous son Shen Wei? Such meritorious service, although it is for state affairs, but don't forget, your godfather is the general, hehehe. Shen Guogong stroked his beard and said.

"Hahaha, how dare you, in the past, Lian Po was more than seventy years old and could still eat ten buckets of rice at a meal, besides, Shen Guogong is a lot old, and he can still marry a new concubine, I, Shen Wei, have received the grace of His Majesty, Godfather's education, I am only twenty years old, so what's the harm in serving the country?" Shen Wei said unforgivingly.

"I haven't seen the little guy's martial arts, but this sharp kung fu should have been learned from your godfather, not bad, the mouth of the teaching is very powerful!"

"Hahaha. The ministers couldn't help but laugh again.

"Haha, Shen Guogong is getting older and naughtier, he is really an old naughty boy, it seems that people are in good spirits when they are happy, is this old bone more energetic after the activity?

The ministers all understood the meaning: "Hahaha, General Shen is really a strong king! ”

The ministers were all amused, and Shen Huangzun also pointed at them, signaling that they were all quiet.

"Hahaha, several ministers are arguing for state affairs, I am very pleased, without ministers like you, the security of the country is not reliable, the widow thinks that both of them are reasonable, this is feasible to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, this can also send troops to suppress the formation, and the decree will go on. Shen Huangzun is not angry and arrogant.

All the ministers knelt down and prepared to receive the decree.

"Ordered the general Shen Kuo and his righteous son Shen Wei to go to the border with 80,000 elite soldiers to shock the Yan State, and sent the people under the command of Shen Guogong to lobby Qi and admire this. The great eunuch said.

"The ministers received the order, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live. ”

"Retreat. ”

The ministers dispersed one after another, and Shen Wei came to Shen Kuo's side and said, "Father, the child will go first, order the soldiers and horses, and prepare enough food and grass, and then you can go first." ”

"Well, be careful, count the quantity, pay attention to safety on the road, and the father will be there later. Shen Kuo said.

"Yes. Shen Wei hurried forward.

Shen Kuo walked a few steps slowly and thought: "This Shen Guogong, the older he gets, the more arrogant he becomes, at such an old age, he can't get along with me openly in the court, he really has lived enough, he will definitely clean you up when he finds a chance, but why did His Majesty only give me 80,000 elite soldiers?"

He thought about it, and he didn't figure it out, but he thought about it. "That's right, in case the war in other areas is tight and you need to support the remaining 20,000 elite soldiers, you can just go, yes, it must be so, then don't worry too much, I have to hurry up and prepare, fight this battle, and I can become a prince of the country." Shen Kuo imagined that he had returned victoriously, and he was very proud in his heart.

Shen Guogong was behind him, and after seeing him go away, he said to the people around him: "Look, you look at General Shen's appearance, it seems that you want to fly to the border in one step, and you can't wait to start a war with Yan State immediately, so that you can win a battle, and after returning from victory, you want to be a national prince, so it is a loss to the country to start a war with so much money and money, and the people are even more miserable!"

"What Elder Shen said is that your idea is clever, without spending a single soldier, it can also relieve the disaster of Yan Kingdom, and it can also make Your Majesty feel at ease and satisfied, but who are you going to send?"

Shen Guogong left the court with him and walked down the steps, he thought for a while: "What do you think of my righteous son Shen Ling? This son is three years old and literate, proficient in poetry and songs, and has a clear understanding of national policies and current affairs, and the most important thing is that he has a talent for tongue debate since he was a child. ”

"Young Master Shen can do it, but the emperor is far away, how can he care about the safety of his son?"

"It's okay, you can send my own soldiers to follow, escort it all the way to the Qi country, plus the Yulin Army sent by Your Majesty, there is no problem to bless Ling'er's safety, after this meritorious service, I will also play Your Majesty, and add an official to Ling'er, so that my father and son can fight side by side in the court! ”

"This method is feasible, not bad, is Shen Guogong really in his prime? I don't think it's a few years old from the year of the Mandate of Heaven. ”

"Hahaha, you, there's a reason why you're getting promoted quickly. ”

The two of them got into the sedan chair while talking and laughing, sat on it and left.

。。。。。。

In Shen Huangzun's study, he stood by the map hanging in the study, thinking about something for a long time, picked up the brush again, and drew and drew on several place names.

With a final sigh, he shook his head.

"Little Dezi. ”

"The minions are here. ”

"You... So.. So. He whispered a few words in Xiao Dezi's ear.

"Minion, I'll go. After hearing this, Xiao Dezi hurriedly ran out.

Shen Huangzun sat on the chair next to the desk, holding his head and thinking.

Fengshi Villa is in the center of the capital, and there is an institution dedicated to transmitting letters.

Xiao Dezi hurriedly mounted his horse and ran over.

When the steward saw that it was Father-in-law De, he hurriedly ran over to lead the horse.

He got off his horse and said in a breathless manner, "Pass on Your Majesty's message." The steward hurriedly knelt down and listened.

"Summoning the dragon to meet Your Majesty in the sky. ”

"The grass people will send a message to the master, Father-in-law, look at you are tired, this sweat, a little heart, you take it to relieve the heat and drink tea. The steward quietly stuffed a string of money into his sleeve.

A picture on the face of the German Gonggong horse, I am very optimistic about your appearance. "Haha, it's all for Your Majesty's errand, it's okay, go back and say hello to Lord Long for me, and say goodbye. ”

Degong openly and happily mounted his horse and left.

"Quick, immediately hurry up and tell the owner. ”

"Yes. ”

Then a servant mounted a fast horse and ran towards Fengshi Villa.

。。。。。。

In Fengshi Villa, Zhong Tianzheng was in the courtyard, firstly, he came to inspect various chefs and teach apprentices, and secondly, he couldn't help but set up a big cauldron, brought a bunch of ingredients, and began to tend to make big pot dishes.

"But sprinkling salt is a technical job, if you don't have a little taste at all, if you have more, it will become a pot of pickles. ”

Zhong Tianzheng felt that he was lacking experience in this area, so he was determined to cultivate it, and secretly began to practice.

"A chef should learn to cook a little bit of any kind of food, and he must make some kind of rice, and there can't be any rice that a chef can't cook." Zhong Tianzheng himself thought so.

So from the beginning of the morning to noon, Zhong Tianzheng has been busy, constantly putting in ingredients, putting in seasonings, and making pot after pot of food.

Then these dishes were plated one after another, and then sent to the chefs who taught, as well as those apprentice cooks, just as their meals, so that it also saved a lot of trouble, not only can you teach the apprentices to cook wholeheartedly, but you can also worry about the lunch problem, Zhong Tian thought so.

"Husband has worked hard, I'll wipe your sweat. Feng Ling'er took a handkerchief and gently wiped it on Zhong Tianzheng's forehead.

"Hehehehe, Ling'er is so good to me, come on, come on, incense one. ”

Feng Ling'er was shy: "Oh, so many people are here, and they are still watching, how can you be embarrassed?"

"Hee-hee-hee, I know you're shy, okay, then don't kiss, and go cooking. Zhong Tianzheng said with a grin.

As soon as she heard that her husband didn't kiss herself, Feng Ling'er felt a little lost in her heart.

"Husband, what do you see over there?"

Feng Ling'er pointed to a hurried subordinate, only to see the subordinate quickly go forward, the room where the dragon was in the sky, and after a while, after the dragon came out of the sky, he whispered a few words to this person.

Zhong Tianzheng himself was watching carefully.

Feng Ling'er chirped mischievously on his face.

"Oh, Ling'er, you kiss me secretly, don't run, let me kiss back. Feng Ling'er was like a little rabbit, bouncing away.

"Come on, come on, my husband can't catch up with me, come on. Feng Ling'er stuck out her tongue at him.

"Okay, stop, I'm coming. Zhong Tianzheng chased after him with a smile.

。。。。。。

"Master, Your Majesty will call you to meet him. ”

"What's going on?" asked Long Zaitian, confused.

He thought to himself, "Your Majesty has never summoned me at this time, why is this the case today?"

"I heard that in the court today, because of the matter of Yan Guo's awaiting troops on the border, Shen Guogong and Shen Kuo's two factions are fighting, Your Majesty is very powerful, and he sent two people respectively, one to go to the border to guard the city, and the other to lobby Qi State. ”

"It's hard work, go down and get double the reward. Long Zaitian said.

"Yes, sir. The servant left with a smile.

"Wait, go and get my uncle over. ”

"Yes. ”

。。。。。。

Zhong Tianzheng caught Feng Ling'er here.

"Hehehehe, let you run, you little Ling'er, change your name in the future, just call it a little rabbit, let's chirp." ”

Zhong Tianzheng took a sip on Feng Ling'er's face.

"Oh, husband, you're in a hurry, it's time for you to trim your beard. Feng Ling'er covered her eyes, one was shy, and the other was afraid of being pricked.

When Zhong Tianzheng was laughing with Feng Ling'er here, the person who had delivered the letter just now rushed to say, "Uncle, master, please go and discuss." ”

"Okay, I'll go. Zhong Tianzheng straightened his face.

"Ling'er, husband, I'm going to discuss with my father, you have to be good here, don't be frivolous. Zhong Tianzheng pretended to be deep and said.

"Hehehehe, you're the least in shape, okay, you can go quickly. Feng Ling'er covered her mouth and laughed.

"Ahem, ahem. Then Zhong Tianzheng threw up his sleeves and went to find Long Zaitian.

After entering the door, he said, "I've seen my father." ”

Long Zaitian said with a smile: "Don't be polite to the virtuous son-in-law, you will be a family in the future, don't fix these vain heads, and then I can cut you like this." ”

Zhong Tianzheng laughed inwardly and showed internal injuries. "Oh my god, this old man is getting more and more funny. ”

"Yes, yes, I must remember. Zhong Tianzheng still saluted.

"In the past few days, I heard that you have taken care of the villa in an orderly manner, and let all kinds of chefs apprentice chefs, the skills of these cooks are getting better and better, and the recent meals are made impressively, even Your Majesty has praised them again and again in the past few days, and there are letters from the inner palace, and many ministers want to taste the food made by our villa. Long Zaitian said with satisfaction.

"That's the best, I'll order it later, let the food cooked by the gold and silver chefs be kept every day, and sent directly to these ladies and ministers, try to be good friends with them, and win a seat for my Fengshi Villa on the court. Zhong Tianzheng said.

"Yes, yes, you and I have the same idea, it's really rare!" Long Zaitian touched his beard and said.

"It's just that it's not good to send too much food, in case someone poisons it, won't they ruin our reputation. ”
