On the outskirts of Beiping, farmers are working in the fields.

In September, the heavy ears bent the wheat stalks, and when the harvest was approaching, the farmers did not dare to slack off.

Not long ago, the county magistrate summoned the elders and declared that the prince had an order to exempt summer grain and winter taxes on par with previous years. It is said that it was the prince of the world who said that the year was not abundant, and the people were in great difficulty, but the prince was kind enough to reduce the grain tax.

The farmers all thanked the kindness of King Yan and the prince, and in Hebei, the prestige of King Yan completely overwhelmed Emperor Jianwen in Nanjing.

Seeing this, King Ning and King Jin had to pinch their noses and imitate it, no matter how reluctant they were. Since he decided to rebel with Zhu Laosi, he had to take some practical action to express it.

What made King Ning and King Jin helpless was that it was he who ordered the reduction and reduction of grain taxes, and it was still King Yan who was grateful to the farmers in the jurisdiction.

The uncle and nephew touched their noses and smiled bitterly, but they had no choice but to admit it.

Since then, the three places in northern Xinjiang, together with Dezhou in Shandong, have been the name of Yan Wang's mercy for a while.

At the same time, the famous son Zhu Gaochi is also famous. If you can't follow King Yan on the expedition, you can still work hard in government affairs. The defense of Beiping involved a lot of political capital for Zhu Gaochi, but it was not enough. If he wants to firmly sit on the throne of the world, and even go further in the future, he has to work harder.

If Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui were not half-brothers, Zhu Gaochi's sense of crisis would not have been so serious. The three brothers are all the sons-in-law of their father and mother, and the two younger brothers have made many military exploits with the army, and they are highly evaluated among the generals, so Zhu Gaochi has to be anxious. Only then did he make a statement to King Yan and exempt him from summer grain.

Of course, with the military rations moved from Texas, Zhu Gaochi had the confidence, otherwise he would not dare to do this if he was killed.

The army can't eat enough, and they have to be exempted from food tax? Zhu Di can slap him flat.

knew that Zhu Gaochi had won prestige through this, but Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui were helpless. The prince was praised by King Yan for this move, and he gritted his teeth and echoed twice, "The prince is benevolent and should learn."

The rivalry between the three brothers gradually emerged, and the atmosphere in the palace began to change.

Meng's life was also uneasy.

Since returning to Beiping, Wang An next to the prince and Wang Quan next to the king of Gaoyang County have come to visit the door every once in a while, and they have to talk a few words if they have no topic. There are no characters like Gao Wei in the palace, and they can be understood without thinking about it when they hang around in front of him.

Wooing.

Before, Meng was only a commander, and his appreciation by King Yan was limited. Now, after just one expedition, he has been promoted to commander and Tongzhi, and has successfully entered the henchmen group of King Yan, and his status has long surpassed that of ordinary generals in the army.

In addition, the city of Jinan helped King Yan get out of trouble, and blocked arrows for Zhu Gaoxu, and also registered in front of Princess Yan. Such a talent must be wooed, and it cannot be won over for the time being, at least not to be evil.

Zhu Gaochi and Meng have a friendship of "working together", Zhu Gaochu identifies himself as Meng Shishilang's "life" brother, Zhu Gaosui is one step slower than his brothers, but he took the opportunity of Princess Yan's reward to personally give Meng Daoxi.

Seeing Zhu Gaosui standing in front of him, Meng Dang really had a toothache.

But Dao Yan came to join in the fun again, and the word "apprentice" was called extremely affectionately, and he couldn't shake off the kraft candy.

In addition to the toothache, Meng's head also began to hurt.

Flowers, boiling oil, is this the feeling?

Leaving the palace in the name of going home to visit relatives, he instinctively breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Shen Xuan, who was traveling with him, and his heart rose to his throat again.

Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, Commander Shen's true character is definitely not compatible with "the inside and the outside", and his actions are often unexpected.

Just a visit? If Meng believed it, the head on his neck would have grown white.

Thinking of the zodiac and birth dates that he was asked about before, Meng's expression was a little stiff. If so, how should you cope?

Say yes or do you want to say no?

The key is whether this will scare the old lady at home?

The odds are quite high.

The road has come to this point, and it is impossible to turn back. Dare to say such a thing, it is estimated that Commander Shen will really destroy the other humanity.

Walking in the fields, the horse's hooves were dyed with the smell of grass.

When the Meng clan people who were working in the field saw Meng on the horse, they straightened up and said hello, and said with a smile: "Twelve Lang is back." ”

There was kindness in the smile and voice, so cordiality that Meng was a little surprised. Later, I learned that this was a favor made by the Meng Wang clan with cloth and spices.

Before the group reached Tunzi, Meng Chongjiu and Meng Wang's had already gotten the news.

Meng Chongjiu immediately asked people to inform the other clan elders, and Meng Wang also took his daughter-in-law and granddaughter to clean the courtyard and hall house, and boil water to make tea.

Twelve Lang was reused by His Royal Highness King Yan, and the glory of the Meng clan was tied to him. With Meng Hu and Meng Qingjiang there, as long as the head is sober, he should know that the future of the clan will fall on him eight or nine times out of ten.

In addition, Meng Wang's family can be a person, and the welcome he received was too warm, which made Meng a little overwhelmed. The last time he came back, he didn't do that, what happened during his time away?

Shen Xuan saw the new clothes on Meng Chongjiu and several clan elders, and a hint of understanding flashed in his expression. To be able to teach a son like Twelve, there must be a scheming. Thinking of the Luan Feng jade pendant that he couldn't give, Shen Xuan raised his eyebrows, if he wanted to achieve his wish, he was afraid that it would take a lot of twists and turns.

Soft can't do it, just grab people?

Commander Shen is indeed seriously considering the feasibility of such a move.

"Uncle Nine, be polite."

After the elders of the same clan saw the gift, Meng gave the gift that had been prepared before, and left a carriage, "This is a little heart for the clan." ”

Seeing the things unloaded on the carriage, many clansmen were stunned on the spot.

In the square rattan box, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and books with the scent of ink are neatly stacked. Needless to say, it must be for the children of the clan who are studying. In addition, there are all kinds of snacks, spices, good wine for the elders, and mutton.

Meng Chongjiu wiped his hands with a handkerchief, bent down and took out a book from the rattan box, rubbed it carefully, and said, "Twelve Lang is so considerate of the clansmen, the stone should also be hot." If someone makes irresponsible remarks behind their backs, and their eyes are red and sour, pat their chest and ask their conscience! Don't speak human words, don't do personnel, and don't deserve to be called personal words! ”

The words rang loudly, and several long-tongued clansmen lowered their heads with shame on their faces.

While the clansmen looked at the books and ink in the rattan box in surprise, waiting to share the snacks and spices, Meng Liu silently withdrew from the crowd and walked briskly towards home. After Da Lang's matter, Twelve Lang's things, she didn't have the face to take it. The cloth that Meng Wang sent to her home made her blush.

On weekdays, I had some friendship with Meng Liu's family, but when I found that Meng Liu's family was gone, I looked at each other, and the tacit understanding didn't make a sound.

Da Lang almost killed the life of a clan, if it weren't for the Twelve Lang around, and for the sake of Shiro's affection, Meng Guangxiao's family would still be able to stay in the tunzi comfortably and without illness and disaster?

The Meng Liu family is not bad, and they can't stand having a confused man and a son who doesn't do anything.

Xiao Liu was picked up by his mother's family and has not been sent back. Originally, they were all surnamed Meng, and they should help each other. Can you put yourself in your shoes, if you have a daughter, would you be willing to have a son-in-law like Da Lang? I can't hide from it. After thinking about it, the thought of helping to persuade peace will stop.

It's that Shiro hasn't decided to marry yet, although there is Lao Tzu and the eldest brother who can't make it, but he is friendly with Goro and Twelve Lang, and it doesn't matter if he separates after he gets married. Relatives who have sisters and children can't help but be moved.

Meng Hu's family affairs must be Meng Chongjiu's words, and others can't interfere. Twelve Lang is now an official of the third grade, and his relatives will not be sloppy, I am afraid he will not look for it in the township. The rest of Meng Qingjiang has become a good candidate for son-in-law in everyone's minds.

As long as the person is good and capable, what if you break two fingers?

When Meng Qingjiang returned to Tun to meet the elders, the courtship almost flattened the threshold. Rao was fought on the battlefield, and Meng Shilang was also taken aback, and only the girl escaped.

Meng does not have Meng Qingjiang's troubles, but he has to face greater difficulties. Meng Qingjiang only needs to set a good girl to start a family, but what he wants to set is not a girl at all.

Dismounted in front of the house, the soldiers took the reins, and Meng Shishilang, who was dressed in a military attache uniform, hesitated, and couldn't take a step.

If Shen Xuan said something to her face, would the old lady raise a broom to drive them out?

Probably not, right? Meng really didn't know the bottom in his heart.

"Don't worry." Shen Xuan held Meng's wrist, and the temperature came through the palm of his hand, "Everything has me." ”

Meng opened his mouth, and wanted to say that he was worried because of you.

But can you say that? Obviously not.

The best choice is to keep your mouth shut, silence is golden. It's a big deal that when the old lady lifts the broom, she smears oil on the soles of her feet and runs faster.

In the hall, Meng Wang, who was dressed in a light-colored tuan, sat upright, with a silver hairpin on his hair and two silver bracelets on his wrists, all of which Meng had honored when he returned home before.

Meng Zhang's and Meng Xu's still stayed in the wing room behind the hall, and after Meng Sanjie and Meng Wujie saw each other, they followed with the snacks given by Meng.

Only Meng Wang's family remained, Meng who returned home to visit relatives, and Shen Xuan, who came to the door again.

After saluting each other, none of them spoke.

The wild goose raised in the yard suddenly screamed, which did not break the silence, but made the atmosphere even more awkward.

Thinking of the origin of the wild goose, Meng subconsciously looked at Shen Xuan, and Meng Wang's expression was also a little subtle.

Shen Xuan took a sip of the teacup, his eyes swept over Meng, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly. With black eyebrows, dark eyes, and a handsome face, there is no evil aura on the battlefield, but there is another kind of imperative.

Putting down the teacup, Shen Xuan said: "Auntie, the younger generation came to the door this time, especially for Twelve Lang. ”

In a word, a bombardment.

For Twelve?

Meng Wang's heart twitched, and his expression was a little stiff, "Commander Shen said this, and the women didn't understand. ”

"The younger generation misses Twelve Lang, and wants to marry Qin and Jin with Twelve Lang."

Cracking sound!

After the thunder explosion, a bolt of lightning struck, and the Meng Wang clan was instantly petrified.

Meng was also stupid.

Said it?

Really?

That's it?!

There is no foreshadowing, and there is no turn, the demeanor is natural, and the tone is calm, as if to say that the weather is good today.

Is Shen Xuan a maverick, or is the second generation of Hou of the Ming Dynasty so strong?

He wore it, Shen Xuan was born and raised in the Ming Dynasty, right?

"Commander Shen," Meng Wang's voice trembled a little, "Did the women mishear?" ”

Shen Xuan smiled, and his smile was particularly charming.

"Aunt didn't hear it right, Xuan Simu Twelve Lang, I want to tie the hair with Twelve Lang, marry Qin and Jin, and never leave the white head."

Knotted hair, Qin Jin is good, and the white head is inseparable. When you hear this, you should be moved. The reality is that the thunder is too loud and the lightning is too strong, and it is too late to be moved, and Meng Tongzhi has already scorched.

Meng Wang's eyes widened, and he was speechless for a long time.

According to common sense, she should decisively refuse.

The gift of yin and yang, the righteousness of husband and wife, how do two men get married?

can look at Commander Shen, who is impeccable in appearance and family, and then look at his son who can only show his hands by his appearance, when the words came to his mouth, he changed his taste strangely, "Commander Shen, how can you miss Twelve Lang?" ”

Meng: "...... mother?!

Shen Xuan was stunned for a moment, and didn't seem to expect that Meng Wang's family would ask this sentence.

I've thought about a thousand possibilities, but I've never thought about this one.

Meng Xu and Meng Zhang in the wing room were stunned, they didn't expect the uncle's Shangguan to have this thought, and they didn't expect the mother to react like this. Isn't the most important thing to do is to raise a broom and drive people out of the way?

The two of them looked at each other, okay, the official is bigger than the uncle, and there is no way to pick it up.

"Mother, what is grandmother talking about?"

Hearing the sound of talking from the hall, Third Sister Meng and Fifth Sister Meng looked at their mother with big eyes, their expressions full of curiosity.

Meng Xu's and Meng Zhang's faces changed, and they hurriedly covered their daughter's ears, such a conversation is not suitable for children.

Soon, there was silence in the hall again.

Obviously, even if he twitched coldly, Meng Wang's mind was very clear. Her husband and two sons are gone, and Jujuro is the only man in the family...... When she went underground, she didn't have the face to see the ancestors of the Meng family.

"Commander Shen, this matter is inappropriate, and the women must not agree."

"Why?"

Why? Does this need to be asked?

Meng Wang frowned, "Twelve Lang is the only male in the family, and he has to inherit the incense of his ancestors. ”

"Just for that?" Shen Xuan raised an eyebrow on one side, "Twelve Lang still has a niece, just recruit a son-in-law." "With him, no one dares to snub Twelve's relatives.

"No way!"

Meng Wang's clan was categorical, and only then did he realize that Shen Xuan was her son's superior, and would it be difficult for Twelve Lang to sweep the other side like this? Or is it because of his official position that his son can't open his mouth to refuse?

Thinking of this, Meng Wang's face changed.

The atmosphere fell into a stalemate again, Meng looked at Shen Xuan, and then at Meng Wang's family, gritted his teeth, and knelt down with a puff.

"Mother, please fulfill your son."

"Son, why the hell are you doing this?"

"Mother," Meng pinched his thigh hard, his eyes were red, "Son, son can't do it." ”

"No way?" Meng Wangshi was puzzled at first, but after a while, he finally realized, and his face suddenly turned pale, "Son, don't cheat your mother." ”

Meng's face was heavy, "Mother, my son is really ...... No way. ”

The matter has come to this point, sooner or later, there will be such a day, it is better to solve it all at once. He likes men, but naturally he can't do it to women. If you can't treat each other sincerely, isn't it harmful to reluctantly marry a wife?

"Mother, my son once received a military stick in the side." Meng gritted his teeth and said with difficulty, "Since then, I have ...... I've asked the doctor to see it, but I can't do it. The son doesn't want his mother to be sad, but he can't hurt others for his own selfishness. ”

Meng Wang's face changed suddenly, he hurriedly pulled Meng up, slapped him twice, and choked up: "You kid, why don't you tell Wei Niang about such a big thing?" You're going to rip out your mother's heart! ”

"Mother, it's not good for your son, you can beat your son!"

"How can my mother be willing to beat you," Meng Wang pulled Meng, "If it weren't for our family, how would you go to the army, and how could you be like this?" Mother only blames herself for being useless and dragging you down! ”

Meng Wang's family cried sadly, and Meng Xu and Meng Zhang in the wing room couldn't help crying. It turns out that there is such an inside story, the uncle is now in the limelight, and he may not have suffered a lot of hardships and sins! It's all their drag!

"Third sister, you remember your mother's words, you must honor the twelfth uncle in the future, otherwise your mother will be the first to deny you!"

"Mother, I remember."

"The same goes for the fifth sister."

A lie, even with good intentions, is a lie after all.

Meng felt ashamed, supported Meng Wang's family, and comforted him with kind words, which finally made Meng Wang's family put away his tears.

Shen Xuan didn't expect Meng to tell such a "secret".

No way? He did not believe.

Commander Shen has a clear appearance, but his personality is not so sunny and snowy. Sleeping together for so long, although it is quite innocent, it should have been touched.

At this time, the focus of the Meng Wang's family was no longer Shen Xuan's courtship, but Meng's body.

"Son, but there are other roots left?" Meng Wang's tone was full of worry.

"Mother, the doctor who treated my son was the imperial doctor from the palace, and he would not leave the root of the disease."

Meng Wang's still didn't believe it, and after several inquiries, Meng insisted on it, but he couldn't.

"Mother, even if you don't command Shen to tie your hair, your son won't get married. The son is like this, and if he gets married again, he will harm others, please be considerate of his son. ”

With a sigh, what can the Meng Wang clan do? pressed Meng Chengqin, she thought she couldn't do it. It is not impossible for two granddaughters to recruit sons-in-law, and it is also a way to inherit from the clan. can promise Shen Xuan, but in the end it still feels awkward.

"Son, you let your mother think about it again." Meng Wang wiped away his tears, let go of Meng, and said to Shen Xuan, "Commander Shen, marriage is not a child's play, please let the people think about it." ”

"What my aunt said was very true. Marriage is not child's play, so you should be cautious. As he spoke, Shen Xuan took out a Geng post from his arms and offered it with both hands, "This is a junior Geng post, the time is in a hurry, I failed to ask the iceman, my aunt forgive me." ”

Meng Wangshi: "......"

Is this a courtship or a forced marriage? If you don't agree, don't you want to rob people directly?

Is it really good to meet such a domineering and son's Shangguan?

Meng Wang's expression was complicated and he took the Geng post. Meng rolled his eyes and said to Meng Wang's family: "Mother, don't worry, Commander Shen has also been beaten with a military stick with his son. ”

Meng Wangshi: "......"

Shen Xuan: "......"

Meng Xu and Meng Zhang in the wing room were stunned for a moment, and then Qi Qi covered his daughter's ears again.

After the matter was completed, Meng and Shen Xuan decided to leave Mengjiatun in the afternoon and return to the palace.

Rao is mood is complicated, Meng Wang's still took his two daughters-in-law to clean up a table of meals, and during the banquet, Shen Xuan opened his mouth "Mother", almost scaring the chopsticks in Meng Wang's hand.

Meng concentrated on eating, picked up a piece of braised pork with five flowers and three layers, and took a bite of it, full of fragrant flavor.

Eat, concentrate on eating.

The guards who came with him were entertained by clansmen, and Shen Xuan ordered that there was no need to be restrained, except that he did not drink, and everyone ate tightly.

Before leaving, Meng Chongjiu and other clan elders came to send it in person, Meng hugged his fist to say goodbye to the clan elders, Shen Xuan also bowed to Meng Chongjiu, Meng Chongjiu hurriedly dodged, and didn't dare to say anything, but the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.

The commander of the third product has a lot of face!

The clansmen are so courteous, which shows that the twelve langs are reused.

Scratching his chin, Meng didn't say anything to explain. Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, saying what he really thinks, scaring these old people, he will be a big sin.

On the way back to the palace, Shen Xuan rode a horse and walked beside Meng, raising his eyebrows on one side, his smile was not as good as before, with a taste that made the back of Meng's neck cold, "We've been beaten with a military stick together, huh?" ”

Meng shrunk his neck, that's a fact, isn't it?

The smile deepened, and the dark eyes were deep, "In the future, Twelve Lang can try it himself." ”

In addition to the inconsistency between the inside and the outside, "......" also has the attribute of thick skin?

In mid-September, King Yan marched in Beiping, waiting for another expedition.

Hou Xian and Yang Duo led the team back from the grassland, accompanied by seven or eight grassland tribes. The tribes were of different sizes, with a total population of thousands, riding horses and driving cattle and sheep from Kaiping Wei into the fortress.

King Yan handed over the errand of resettling these tribes to Zhu Gaochi, patted him on the shoulder, and said: Those who can work hard, such a job can only be handed over to you, and my father can rest assured. Son, Father believes in you!

Zhu Gaochi laughed like crying, patted his chest and promised that he would do a good job! The task assigned by my father must be completed no matter how difficult it is!

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui took the initiative to ask for their lives, to share the labor for the prince, King Yan was very happy, and with a wave of his hand, he was very good.

Zhu Gaochi finally shed hot tears, and in the face of King Yan, he had to resolutely say that this was moving, not sad.

Back in the palace, Meng was arrested Zhuangding, seeing the prince with two black circles under his eyes and Zhu Gaoxu Zhu Gaosui with the same haggard face, Meng Tongzhi looked at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, shed a tear of sadness, and took the salary of the old Zhu family, it was really not an easy task.

After sighing, he rolled up his sleeves and resigned himself to work.

King Yan of Beiping was busy, and Emperor Jianwen of Nanjing was not idle.

Tie Xuan, who was transferred to the military department, was very strong, and asked the emperor to order the Northern Expedition several times. The impeachment in the matter was not taken seriously by Tie Hyun at all. Compared with the rumors in Jinan, such a few words of scolding without itching is nothing.

Tie Xuan said that he has experienced strong winds and waves, and Lao Tzu is not afraid!

Emperor Jianwen was moved by Tie Xuan, and asked him to praise the military affairs, even if he did not have the title of the secretary of the military department, the power in his hands was quite real, and it was not discounted at all.

After that, in the early dynasty, he tried to override public opinion, and Zhaoli City Marquis Shengyong was the general, and gathered the army to go north to fight the Yan army. Governor Ping'an and Xu Kai both became Sheng Yong's lieutenants.

As a result of this order, controversy between the DPRK and China continued.

In the first battle of Jinan, Sheng Yong's performance was outstanding, which made him the main general and Ping An as the deputy, which was really beyond everyone's expectations.

In terms of qualifications, military exploits, and command ability of the army, where can Sheng Yong compare to peace? Ping An is the righteous son of Emperor Tai-Zugao, which onion is Sheng Yong?

The governor's mansion of the five armies is sparse, and the emperor is asked to consider it carefully. Although Ping An did not speak out, it was inevitable that he would be angry if he could serve as a nobody's lieutenant.

A sudden fire at Chengtianmen made the suspicions of the court and the central government spread, and the music of the imperial history was piled up like a mountain.

Emperor Jianwen gritted his teeth and resisted the pressure from all sides and never let go.

He recognized Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan, and as for the quails in the court, let's go where it is cool and rest!
