It's not that easy to resist, to seduce, to bewitch.

Without a tenacious will, a tenacious - no - pull spirit, it is simply impossible to do it.

Meng pinched his nose while resisting the temptation, and all of it was in the water from the neck down.

During the whole process, I can't do it without squinting, and try not to let my eyes wander.

Helpless, Marquis Shen's sense of presence is really too strong, with thick eyebrows and a straight nose, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, black hair and black eyes...... I can't pretend to be temporary-sexual-blind.

The appearance is charming, and the figure is even more charming.

Meng looked up, only to feel that a hammer was raised on the door of his head, knocking one after another, his head swelled and buzzed.

Reason is on the verge of collapse, and there is only one thought left, pounce or pounce?

If it weren't for sobering up in the last second, the peony flower would have died, and it might have been really.

Meng pinched his nose and turned his head with difficulty. Throw the cloth towel on your face, grit your teeth secretly, and throw it into the corner of the wall to kick it and step on it into slag, and this world will be beautiful.

I was depressed, and my shoulders suddenly hit a warm touch.

Click.

Meng Shishilang could almost hear the sound of "persistence" shattering.

It's hard to persist until now, but do you have to fall short?

Stiffly turned his head sideways, staring at the slender hand, his voice trembling a little, "Hou...... Father? ”

If the hand is not withdrawn, the consequences will be serious, he assured.

Shen Xuan chuckled, his smile was thick in the heat, "Twelve Lang is dizzy?" ”

Meng shook his head, "No ......"

"Not dizzy?" Fingers removed from his shoulders and pulled up a strand of wet hair, "I'll wipe the back of Tjuro." How is it? ”

“……”

Meng's heart jumped, and he really wanted to cry.

Such ordinary words, spit out from the mouth of Marquis Shen, why did it make him think about it?

Is it true that his mind is too unpure?

Shen Xuan tilted his head, and there was a smile in his eyes, "Twelve Lang? ”

"I'm dizzy."

Meng propped his head on one hand and held Shen Xuan's wrist with the other.

Pushed? A little reluctant, the touch is too good.

The mind roared again, no, hold on, the ninety-nine steps are finished, and the last step is to retreat, resolutely no!

"Dizzy?" Shen Xuan came closer, his black eyes, bright red lips, and his tone became more and more low, "Twelve Lang said just now, don't faint." ”

"I didn't get dizzy just now, but now I'm dizzy."

In front of such a person, he is not dizzy.

Shen Houye said that he would be polite, so he really didn't make an unusual move. But his every move is crushing Meng's sanity, and if he doesn't pay attention to it, he will completely fall.

Meng pinched himself, and his feverish brain finally cooled down a little.

raised his head and looked into Shen Xuan's eyes as an inquiry.

As a result, the head began to dizzy again.

Turn your head and cover your face.

Luckily, there were no nosebleeds.

As if he thought Meng's reaction was interesting, Shen Xuan leaned back, leaned against the wall of the barrel, bent the corners of his mouth, softened his eyebrows, and was in an unusually good mood.

Do a good job of psychological construction, turn your head, take a look, Meng covered his face again, this is really not something that ordinary people can resist.

Taking a deep breath, Meng Guo resolutely got up, and it was the best policy to leave the source of trouble.

The big husband can bend and stretch!

Don't dare? He's not a hero anyway.

There were a few chuckles behind him.

Meng froze his belt, gritted his teeth, and resolutely did not look back.

Pushing open the door, he almost fled.

It's not relevant, but it's absolutely true.

With his chin resting on his forearm, Shen Xuan smiled more and more wantonly, with pure pleasure in his laughter.

If Meng hadn't been in a hurry, if he had a little more curiosity, as long as he looked back, two hundred percent would have thrown away his reason again and pounced back like a fly.

It should be sighed that Meng Shishilang is determined and his spirit is commendable.

Although there will be a little regret, in the end it still holds on!

I changed into casual clothes, picked up the ginger soup that was still a little hot, and drank it all.

Putting down the porcelain bowl, Meng wiped his mouth vigorously. In the face of such a sugar-coated cannonball, he can stand firm and never waver, what else can bring him down in the future? Absolutely not!

Shen Xuan leaned against the door, looked at Meng in self-pride, couldn't hold back, and smiled again.

Half-dried black hair draped over his shoulders, loosely tied with a ribbon, blue dress, unbelted.

It is rare to see Shen Xuan so lazy, and the low laughter brushes his heart like a feather, almost making Meng break again.

Shen Houye's character is difficult to figure out, and in private, especially when he is alone with Meng, he often has a smile on his face, and his nobility and elegance are fully displayed, which seems to be quite harmless.

Once he straightens his face and turns back into the killing god in the mouths of everyone, his body is full of evil spirits, and the soldiers who dare to fight against the Tartars will also feel worried and their scalps will be numb.

Meng is one of the very few brave people who will not be frightened by Shen Xuan's cold face.

In fact, he was also scared, and being stared at by Shen Xuan's deep eyes would also have a cold feeling on his back. But I don't know when it started, he was no longer afraid of Shen Xuan, he looked at each other for a long time, his face remained as usual, but the roots of his ears would be used to redness.

The soldiers admired Uncle Meng's bravery. Meng's name as a "true man" was widely spread along with Shen Xuan's nickname of killing gods.

Zhu Gaosui also lamented this, Meng Shishilang was modest, only saying that His Royal Highness praised falsely, and Shen Hou seemed to be cold-blooded, but he was actually very approachable.

Hearing this explanation, Zhu Gaosui was speechless and looked at Meng as if he was watching an alien visitor.

Meng Shishilang withstood the pressure, gave full play to his acting skills, and said that what he said was true! Anyway, if Zhu Gaosui was killed, he would not personally explore the evidence of Shen Xuan's "approachability".

If not, tell the truth, and make it clear that everything is the power of love?

Don't say whether Zhu Gaosui will think he is crazy, Meng himself will have goosebumps.

Although there are rumors in the capital, the Marquis of Dingyuan has a lot of relationship with Xingningbo, and the willow tops on the moon at every turn, people climb the wall almost every night after dusk. The truth is not far from the truth. But often the more the truth, the less people will believe it.

The most notable example is the Emperor Yongle.

Shen Xuan told the truth several times, and Zhu Di always firmly believed that the answer in his heart was the truth of everything.

In this regard, Shen Xuan was also very helpless.

As Zhu Di's son, will Zhu Gaosui believe the truth of Meng Wei's export? The likelihood is extremely low.

Zhu Gaosui doesn't believe it, it doesn't mean that Meng's words won't spread.

Soon, the matter of "killing the god Dingyuan Marquis is actually approachable" has become a new legend in northern Xinjiang.

The border army will occasionally waver, and the grassland tribes who have been bullied by Shen Xuan resolutely do not believe it.

"It's a conspiracy, it's definitely a conspiracy!"

Will the god of killing be approachable?

Really, the warriors of the steppe can only fight on horseback, and they can't use their brains?

When it was learned that this "Northern Xinjiang Myth" was guarded by Daning, and Xingning Bomeng spread it, a "treacherous" big poke was fiercely covered on Meng Shishilang's head.

Touching the door of his head with a red mark, Meng was puzzled. It's true that he's not telling the truth, but it's not close to treachery, right?

I can't understand it anymore, the treacherous name of Daning Townkeeper has also spread on the grassland, and it has spread more and more widely, and there is even a tendency of "demonization-demonization". Later, even the Tatar khan Gellici and the Warat chief Mahmu had heard of it.

Meng Shishilang had to sigh that the spiritual and cultural life of the ancient people was really not rich, and such unreliable rumors had such a great deal of power.

Say he's treacherous and cunning, and he's scheming? Completely detached from the facts, it is a rumor!

Is it out of reality? But anyone who has been in contact with Xingningbo, especially those who have been cheated by him, has reservations about this.

Meng drank the ginger soup, and was directly thrown to the collapse by Shen Xuan, wrapped in a quilt, and hugged him.

Name: Keep warm.

The sound of rain hitting the stone bricks is like a lullaby.

Meng was wrapped in the familiar cold incense, and sleepiness quickly welled up, and he couldn't help yawning, his eyes were half-closed, and he was sleepy.

After the Son of Heaven decided to go north and assigned the task of raising grain, Meng never slept peacefully.

Now that my whole body is relaxed, I can't help but yawn one after another.

"Tired?"

"Yes."

Meng rubbed the silky fabric, drowsy, and was worried about the military rations.

“…… 200,000 stones, can you still make up...... 300,000 stones, really not good. ”

"Two hundred thousand stones?" Shen Xuan patted Meng's back, "Daning has so much food?" ”

"Ahh Being held and patted by Shen Xuan, Meng's eyes really couldn't open, "Wheat, buckwheat, and other grains can barely be gathered." You can also exchange some from the merchants in Tuntian. There are a lot of furs in the Daning warehouse......"

Shen Xuan didn't interject, quietly listened to Meng Ru's statement, listened to him list the various ways to raise food, and after hearing the most lucrative, he understood that Meng had done his best. No one, even himself, may be able to do as well as him.

"If you can't make it up, you will be disappointed by the Son of Heaven."

Meng closed his eyes, in that case, should he take the first step to ask for guilt and strive for leniency?

Shen Xuan didn't answer, there was no sound of talking, only the sound of the dripping rain, which became the only note beating in the air.

For a long time, Shen Xuan combed Meng's hair, and his lips fell between his hair.

"Write what you say into a song and present it to the Son of Heaven."

Meng was excited, and half of his drowsiness was gone.

"Tomorrow, I will meet Your Majesty with you." Shen Xuan held the back of Meng's neck and met his eyes, "Son of Heaven Shengming, to be honest, is the best solution." ”

"Tell me the truth?"

"Yes."

"There's no other way?"

"Can Daning get enough food?"

"No, but ......" to meet him with him, wouldn't he also be dragged into the water?

"The matter of Twelve Lang, that is, the matter of Xuan." Shen Xuan chuckled lightly and pressed against Meng's forehead, "Just follow Xuan's words." ”

Meng suddenly turned red at the base of his ears.

Shen Xuan pinched Meng's earlobe, smiled deeper, turned his head sideways, and kissed Meng's lips.

Outside the window, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the sky and earth became a transparent rain curtain. The occasional thunderbolt and the lightning of gold, red, and lightning became the only embellishment in the monotonous colors.

In the Yanwang Mansion, Zhu Gaosui stood in front of Zhu Di and bowed his head to admit his mistake.

Zhu Gaoxu stood with him, and he couldn't say anything to help, at least when his father was angry and wanted to whip him, he would help his younger brother block a few times.

Zhu Di was expressionless, knocking on the table again and again, and he really couldn't see the anger index.

If Queen Xu is here, eighty percent can tell Zhu Di's current mood, the key is that Queen Xu is not there, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui can only straighten up and admit their mistakes in front of their father.

"Father, it's the son's fault." Zhu Gaosui said, "In order to show his merits, the sons deliberately exaggerated and asked their father to surrender their crimes." But Daning really doesn't have so much food, so please don't blame Xingning Bo and Daning Dusi. ”

Zhu Di didn't speak.

The atmosphere was too depressing, and Zhu Gaosui's remaining words almost choked back into his throat. can think of all the things in Daning City, and still said: "Father, it is the son of the emperor who is so happy, and he has nothing to do with others, please ask my father to surrender!" ”

Zhu Gaosui took a handful of singles and knelt on the ground with a thud.

Zhu Di didn't speak.

Zhu Gaosui was out of options, and Zhu Gaochu said: "Father, although the third brother is impatient in his words and deeds, his original intention is not for himself. And Daning Tuntian does have real merit, the son is in Kaipingwei, when he hears that Daning Dusi reclaimed wasteland, improved farm tools, planted grain and wheat, and planted corn and buckwheat all over the place. More encourage Shangtun to breed livestock, the border army sticks to the household to collect fishing and hunting, in exchange for good breeds such as furs, in a few months, the wasteland reclaimed by Daning City, returned to the army and civilians, has surpassed the Liaodong Division. ”

Seeing that Zhu Di's expression eased somewhat, Zhu Gaochu made persistent efforts, and kicked Zhu Gaosui without a trace by the way, he is here to help, and the main owner can't be silent!

Zhu Gaosui is a clever person, seeing the situation, he immediately continued: "Don't hide it from my father, my son tastes the words of Xingning Boyan, with today's Daning, more than 100,000 stone grain should be able to raise, 200,000 stone can also be, but 300,000 stone is too much." The army cannot be raised, the responsibility is still behind, and delaying the army is the crime of the ministers! ”

"Father's ......"

After speaking, Zhu Gaosui's eyes were red, and his regret was undoubtedly revealed.

Zhu Di finally spoke up, "Get up." ”

"Father?"

"I don't blame you."

"What about Hinningbo?"

Zhu Di's eyes widened, and Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Gaoxu shuddered at the same time.

"Five days later, I went to Daning. As the two of you said, Xingningbo is not only innocent, but meritorious. ”

"Father?"

Zhu Di snorted angrily, "I ordered the raising of military rations, when can I say that it is limited?" ”

It seems like...... No.

"I am talking about the desert, when will I send troops?"

Seem...... Nor did it.

Staring at the two sons who were still a little in the clouds, Zhu Di's hands were itchy, and he subconsciously touched his waist, obviously wanting to move the whip again.

Or did Zhu Gaoxu react quickly, "Father said so, don't you want to go north in the near future?" ”

Zhu Gaosui slapped slowly, but he also thought of this.

The brothers looked at their dad together, what did they really mean?

"Zhan Shu said: Venus is out of the Pleiades, the northern army wins, the southern army wins, the southern army wins." Zhu Di said with his hand, "I look up at the celestial phenomena, Venus is out of the north and our army is in the south, so I should be cautious." ”

Zhu Gaoxu & Zhu Gaosui: "......"

"When the past was difficult, the fireball fell from the sky, the auspicious omen was also, the wind was strong on the tenth day, and our army won. There are astrological signs today, and they should not be ignored. ”

Zhu Gaoxu & Zhu Gaosui: "......"

Is Daddy serious?

Or is it an excuse to the outside world?

Although the superstition-belief-omen is not very reliable, but Dad said so, no matter how unreliable it is, you must believe it. Regardless of whether the father had a whim or planned in advance, in short, he could smoothly solve the matter of raising military rations and not make Xingningbo convicted, and Zhu Gaosui was happy to agree.

As for Zhu Gaoxu, he firmly believes in what his father said, and walks in the footsteps of his brother, and his father's banner is above all else.

The brothers glanced at each other and said in unison, "Father Emperor Shengming." ”

The two brothers retreated, and Zhu Di summoned Zheng He and asked him to go to Meng's place to convey the message, "I know that I am dedicated to the country, and I can do my best to raise military rations." ”

"The slave obeys."

Zheng He bowed and saluted, called Hou Xian to change the guard, put on a coat and a rain hat, and Xingningbo passed on the message.

Passing through the corridor, he met the Jinyi captain who was patrolling in the evening, and met Yang Duo, who was about to go to the Son of Heaven to report the information of the Tartars, Zheng He nodded, and there was not much enthusiasm.

Yang Duo smiled and clenched his fists, "Gonggong Zheng is polite, but out of the house?" ”

Zheng He said: "Our family wants to go to Xingningbo to spread the message of the Son of Heaven." ”

"If Gonggong Zheng wants to find Xingningbo, he can go to the mansion of the Marquis of Dingyuan."

"How does Commander Yang know the Dao?"

Yang Duo smiled and said, "I met outside the palace." This official has an old relationship with Xingningbo, and he chatted a few words about this. The rain was heavy, and my father-in-law braved the rain to make a detour, so he reminded him, and he had no other intentions. ”

Zheng He looked at Yang Duo, but Yang Duo remained indifferent.

"In this way, our family has thanked Commander Yang."

"Don't dare."

Clenching his fists and bowing his head, Zheng He's inner servant passed by the captain of Jinyi.

The smile on Yang Duo's face gradually faded, all the way through the corridor, to the front of the carrier hall, untied the saber, entered the hall after being notified, bowed, and said: "Minister Yang Duo, meet Your Majesty." ”

In Shen Xuan's mansion, Zheng He conveyed the Son of Heaven's edict to Meng, saying that the Son of Heaven was not to blame for raising military rations, and would move to Daning in five days.

"At that time, Dingyuan Marquis and Xingningbo will need to be accompanied."

"Commandment."

The big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and while Meng was relaxed, he couldn't help but wonder who helped him speak in front of the Son of Heaven.

If it's not Shen Xuan, who else can it be?

"It was King Zhao and King Han who begged the Son of Heaven."

Zheng He told the truth, and he also reminded Meng that he owed these two favors, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to pay it back.

Meng thanked Zheng He and decided to plan to see the Son of Heaven tomorrow.

A thanksgiving, and a statement on the other. King Han and King Zhao spoke for him to relieve the siege, but he couldn't throw it away immediately and sit back and relax. has a correct attitude, so that you can brush Zhu Di's favorability again.

What's more, if the Son of Heaven wants to move Daning, he can also have a bottom in his heart if he explores it somewhat.

Sending Zheng He away, Meng informed Shen Xuan of his thoughts, Shen Xuan nodded, and said, "Tomorrow, I will meet the Son of Heaven with you." ”

Meng did not refuse.

With Marquis Shen here, he has more confidence in his heart.

It rained heavily overnight.

The next day, the sky cleared.

Meng and Shen Xuan entered the palace of King Yan and asked to see the Son of Heaven.

Zhu Di had breakfast a little late, and after the waiter was clear, he directly asked the two of them to reply in the warm pavilion.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui sat under Zhu Di, the father and son each held two thick cakes in their hands, with salted duck eggs and pickles in the cakes, and the big bowl in front of them was steaming rice porridge.

Shen Xuan was used to it, before Shen Liang was taken away from the title and confiscated into the army, he had dinner with Zhu Yuanzhang. When he arrived in Beiping, he was often called by Zhu Di to his side. It's good to abide by the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and I am no stranger to the scene in front of me.

"Did Xuan'er eat? I haven't used it, so I use it together. ”

Shen Xuan was not polite, and after thanking him, he took the porridge bowl held by the waiter, and one bite was half a bowl.

"Xingningbo also uses some."

A breakfast takes half an hour.

Meng always remembered his identity and counted the rice grains in a bowl of porridge.

Zhu Di's father and son were fragrant and heroic, stacked with stacks of dough, and they bottomed out in an instant. Meng saw the "ordinary" side of Emperor Yongle again. Even if he had gnawed on his elbow with the first family, he would still feel new when he saw such a scene.

Tearing down the dishes and serving the tea, Meng Qing took out the song and presented it.

Beiping set up a department, but there was no branch of the General Political Envoy Department, and it was basically justified that it was directly presented to the Son of Heaven before driving.

"General Wen Sheng moved to Daning, and I hereby report to Your Majesty urgently."

The song was written by Meng, and after Shen Xuan's polishing, the Daning Tuntian, the land reclamation, the collection of border people, and the improvement of tools were listed one by one. And attached is the entry of opening the mutual market, combined with Meng's experience during the garrison in Daning, which is more feasible.

After the recital, the amount of military rations that Daning City can raise at present is not much different from what Zhu Gaosui told Zhu Di.

"Your Majesty is long, and you don't sin foolish ministers. The fool's liver and brain are not enough to repay in case. Only relay to defend the northern frontier, do their best to open up wasteland, and use the Fengbian army. ”

"Aiqing, please get up."

When this title came out, everyone except Zhu Di was stunned.

Those who can be called Aiqing by Zhu Di are either confidants, such as Zhu Neng. Either it's going to be unlucky, such as Xie Jin.

Meng's heart was beating wildly, secretly thinking about which kind of person he belonged to, no matter what, he wouldn't be the same as reconciling with a great talent, right?
