Not long after Han Qian and the others settled in Jinxingfang, Shen Yang, Xinchang Hou Li Pu, and Guo Rong, the military envoy who met again after arriving in Xiangzhou City, were summoned to the defense envoy's mansion as temporary officials to meet Emperor Tianyou.

Even Li Chong was confronted with Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, but Han Qian was not on the list of summoned people.

"Your Excellency is not on the list of summons?"

"How is it possible, Deng Xiang's army is like that chicken, Ma Xundu and his mother are safe and sound, and the court is not allowed to bring out the merits of the adults to decorate the façade?"

"That's right, there is no adult, our Da Chu is afraid that Jing Xiang has been lost at this time, not to mention that he will be sealed immediately, how can he not even be summoned?

Tian Cheng stayed in Xichuan to guard the remnants of the Xuzhou camp, and Gao Shao, Lin Haizheng, Xi Chang, Yang Qin, Feng Xuan and other people who followed Han Qian south were somewhat indignant.

Although Han Qian's official position was low, he was only the deputy commander of the guard battalion, but in the end, he was able to hold Xichuan City and repel the Liang army, and Gao Shao and other descendants knew how much role Han Qian played and how much credit he made.

Even if it was inconvenient to announce the matter of Liang Yu, the king of Yong, it was inconvenient to announce it in advance, but to build Canglang City, help Li Zhihe repel the raid of the Liang army at the Iron Crocodile Ridge, seize the Yingzhou grain fleet, escort the three princes to Xichuan to kill the fleeing general Xia Zhen, stabilize the army's heart, and reserve a large amount of grain and materials on the western front before the war, and even a large number of materials were cushioned by the Xuzhou boat gang, showing the enemy to be weak, building new trebuchets, laying down pocket arrays to severely damage the Liang army's morale, and liaising before and after, and winning over the cottage forces, all of which were done by Han Qian himself.

Without Han Qian, I am afraid that Xiangzhou City has fallen at this time, and the Jinling reinforcements can only rely on Jingzhou City to fall into an endless tug-of-war with the Liang army.

It can be said that Han Qian guarantees the Jingxiang of Da Chu.

Even if he takes 10,000 steps back, Han Qian's official position is not on par with Shen Yang and others, but Li Chong has the opportunity to face the saint, Han Qian is not on the list of summons, how can Zuo Si's subordinates be calm?

"What are you muttering, what are you supposed to do, and you can still get your reward?" Hearing Gao Shao, Yang Qin and others muttering loudly in private, Han Qian reprimanded them with no good temper and drove them out of the front yard.

"Why, you really don't have a trace of resentment in your heart, or are you too cautious to show a trace of resentment?" Han Qian turned his head, but at some point Yao Xishui poked his head out from the other side of the courtyard wall and sneered at him.

After all, the conditions in Xichuan were simple, and the war calmed down a little, so Yao Xishui first escorted Zhang Ping, who was seriously injured to save the third prince, back to Xiangzhou City for treatment.

Han Qian just got the news in Xichuan two days ago, although Zhang Ping was completely abolished from the left shoulder down, but under the treatment of the imperial doctor accompanying Emperor Tianyou, his life was saved.

Han Qian didn't expect Yao Xishui and Zhang Ping to return to Xiangzhou City ahead of schedule and still live in the courtyard next door to him.

"Miss Yao thinks I should have a grudge?" Han Qian asked with a smile.

There was a wooden ladder against the wall, Han Qian climbed up, and saw Yao Xishui also standing on a wooden ladder in the courtyard next door, while Zhang Ping was lying in the courtyard basking in the sun, although his left arm was not cut off, but it was softly resting on the handrail.

In addition to Yao Xishui's two personal maids in the courtyard, there are also two fifteen or sixteen-year-old young eunuchs in Tsing Yi.

Han Qian hadn't seen Zhang Ping and Yao Xishui before, he should have just come to Xiangzhou City, but since he was a eunuch and publicly haunted Xiangzhou City, he must have been the eunuch of the inner province who accompanied Emperor Tianyou to the west this time, and was sent to serve the injured Zhang Ping at this time.

Han Qian frowned slightly, looked at Yao Xishui across the wall, and continued to smile:

"Think about it, if it weren't for Han Qian's painstaking planning, Miss Yao and Master Zhang, your hard work over the years would have come to naught, but at this time, I didn't see Miss Yao and Master Zhang grateful, Miss Yao said should I be resentful?"

Seeing Yao Xishui's beautiful eyes, Han Qian smiled again, "So, thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, and we should be cautious in our words and deeds as courtiers, and we are very taboo to have some merits, so we get carried away!" Miss Yao, do you think that's the truth? ”

Seeing that Han Qian was unscrupulous to say that Emperor Tianyou was mean and unkind, and also sarcastically mocked them for being ungrateful, Yao Xishui thought to himself why he had nothing to provoke this mourning star, but when he saw Han Qian say this, his eyes looked at the two young eunuchs in Tsing Yi beside his adoptive father Zhang Ping, and secretly felt that this guy was really cunning, and he said this to test the reaction of Jixiang and Ruyi, right?

"The concubine is worried that the guard camp is full of homeless children, and they are all clumsy, and they don't know how to take care of His Highness's daily life, so this time she specially sent the two eunuchs around her to take care of His Highness," Yao Xishui smiled slightly, greeted the two young eunuchs in Tsing Yi, and said, "Auspicious, Ruyi, you come over to see Lord Han." ”

Han Qian sighed slightly, he didn't know much about the affairs of the palace, he didn't know how deep the Late Red Mansion penetrated into the palace, and he didn't know how deeply the concubine was involved with the Late Red Mansion.

"Jixiang, if you have talked about Lord Han, if you hadn't heard your family say a lot of grumbling there just now, I really didn't know that Lord Han's merits are so prominent!" The two young eunuchs in Tsing Yi stepped forward and saluted, and the tone of their voice was hidden in the needle, and they didn't know how long they had been castrated, so they were so yin and yang.

"Well said, well said." Han Qian didn't seem to hear the yin and yang strange words of these two people at all, and it was like a soft persimmon that could be manipulated by others, so he just arched his hand and smiled, glanced at Zhang Ping, whose face was still a little pale, and then retracted back into his courtyard.

"Two dog minions, they don't know anything, so they think they want to play prestige?" Zhang Ping glared at the two young eunuchs in Tsing Yi unceremoniously and scolded, sending them back to the backyard, don't stay in the way.

"Uncle Shi is saying that we shouldn't provoke Han Qian?" Yao Xishui asked suspiciously.

"After this battle, the Dragon Bird Army and His Royal Highness are all mighty, even if Your Majesty will not immediately have the intention of abolishing the heir, our next contradictions with the Anning Palace and the crown prince's family will be ten times or a hundred times more acute than before, what good is it for us to compete with Han Qian?" Zhang Ping asked in a low voice.

"Raising tigers has become a problem, I'm afraid he will become a big trouble one day!" Yao Xishui said.

"Are you saying that Han Qian won't be able to let go of the old thing that we used to poison him?" Zhang Ping asked.

"......" Yao Xishui did not make a sound.

"Regardless of whether he let go of this matter in his heart, but after instigating Zhihe to forcibly disband the guard camp, he can still cooperate with us as if no one is fine, which is to beat us." Zhang Ping said with a sigh.

…………

…………

The war had just subsided, and the city of Xiangzhou was shabby, temporarily serving as the back house of the defensive envoy of the camp, at this time, except for the lanterns and guards, which were more densely packed, there was not much difference from ordinary large families.

The fire and candles in the main hall were burning loudly, and the Xinchang Marquis Li Pu, Li Chong and his son, Shen Yang, Guo Rong and others had already retreated, and the forbidden guards had also retreated to the back of the main hall, which did not prevent His Majesty from talking about the relationship between father and son with the three princes.

Shen He thought to himself that as a young eunuch of the Inner Servant Province, as an old man who had been by His Majesty's side for more than 20 years since the Huainan incident, he was probably the only person in Xiangzhou City who was qualified to listen to the father and son at this time, right?

Shen He was not complacent because of this, and even stood aside more and more respectfully, but always took care not to have any sense of existence.

However, the third prince didn't seem to have gotten used to the feeling of "no one in his eyes", and would subconsciously look at him from time to time.

"Guo Liang has an arrogant temperament, Gao Chengyuan is old-fashioned, and Zhou Shu is brave, but Li Zhihe is more strategic. Although Zheng Hui is a military general, he has a literary strategy; Although Zhou Yi was born in a cottage, he is not bad at learning soldiers. In addition, Chai Jian, Li Chong, Zhou Yuan and even Zhang Qian and others all have their own strengths. The child thinks that with these few people, the Dragon Bird Army and Junzhou can be governed, and the child will be able to share the worries of his father......"

The third prince looked a little nervous when he spoke under the lamp, but in Shen He's opinion, it was normal, even if the crown prince Yang Yuanwu was as adult, under the gaze of His Majesty, he would feel uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, Shen He couldn't help but look to the southeast again, but he restrained himself, for fear that the "sense of non-existence" he wanted would be destroyed by unconscious small actions.

To tell the truth, when His Majesty initially decided to take the imperial conquest and keep the crown prince Yang Yuanwu in Jinling, Shen He was still a little worried in his heart, but the situation in Jingxiang was so smooth and stable, there was really no need to worry about any hidden worries on the Jinling side.

Of course, seeing His Majesty's calm face under the lamp, Shen He couldn't guess whether he was dissatisfied with the words of the third prince.

"I didn't punish Ma Xun for the crime of losing the city, Pu'er, what do you think in your heart?"

Hearing His Majesty raise his head and suddenly ask the third prince this question, Shen He was taken aback, and secretly felt that Shen Yang should have only known about this after entering the city, and probably couldn't prepare an answer for the third prince in advance.

"Ma Xun abandoned the city and collapsed, resulting in the tragic death of tens of thousands of generals, even if he cut his body, it is difficult to pay for his crimes, but if he really wants to punish his crimes, it will be difficult to stabilize Tanzhou, and it is really a big disadvantage. At this time, Jingxiang is eroded, and I don't know how much it will cost to rectify the military equipment, and if Tanzhou is chaotic, the national politics of Dachu will be even more embarrassed. And the Liang army brazenly went south, and Shu watched the fire from the other side from beginning to end, which shows that its scheming is not simple, if Tanzhou is in chaos, it is difficult to say whether Shu will take advantage of the fire to rob. However, the child feels that even if he forgives his sins, he can't forgive them, and he should ask Tanzhou to express his sins, thinking that he will atone for his sins! Zaoyang was defeated, Tanzhou lost 5,000 elites, I think my father has something to ask for Tanzhou, and Tanzhou should not refuse, right? ”

Shen He sat in a shadow where the light could not be directly illuminated, and when he heard the words of the third prince, he was also secretly surprised.

"It seems that Han Qian taught you that you are really stronger than Shen Yang's old stubbornness! In the past two days, I originally wanted to send an envoy to Tanzhou to find Ma Yin to ask for the strategy of guarding Jingxiang, although I did not cure Ma Xun's crime, but when Ma Xun can return to Tanzhou, it still depends on Ma Yin's strategy, which is not in line with my heart. According to Pu'er's view, the father seems to have directly made the conditions clear to Tanzhou, better? ”

Shen He couldn't help but look at the third prince at this time, not knowing how he would answer this question.

"Jingxiang is eroded, and the imperial court requisitioned money and grain from Tanzhou, which is the closest and has the convenience of rivers and lakes, and relocated the people to the real side, which is a matter of course and justification. The child still remembers that more than 20,000 families were displaced by floods in Tanzhou in the summer and autumn of last year, and they needed relief to deny the money and food that should have been sent to the household department in the past few years. The father did not care about Tanzhou at that time, but also thought about the people, and the child thought that the father ordered Tanzhou to move more than 20,000 families to Dengxiang for resettlement this time, in order to share the worries of Tanzhou, I believe that Tanzhou should have nothing to say. ”

Shen He was secretly surprised, he didn't expect the third prince to think of this plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle.

"Pu'er, your suggestion is good, wait for me to think about it, see if there are any mistakes, you go back to rest first!"

Shen He stood up and waited until he saw the third prince leave, but when he saw that the third prince hesitated for a while and did not get up and retire immediately, he wondered in his heart what else he had to say to His Majesty.

"What, Pu'er, do you have something to say to your father?"

"Can you guard Xichuan, and Han Qian has made great contributions in front of the child's tent?"

"Pu'er, do you think that your father didn't summon Han Qian today, and some rewards and punishments are unknown?"

"The child thinks that it makes sense for the father to do everything, but the child is stupid and can't understand it for a while."

"Han Qian has long been able to make scorpion crossbows, whirlwind cannons and other military weapons, but he did not offer them to help the court defeat the enemy, but used them on Bo Qigong, and his father did not cut off his head, which was already the greatest reward for him. Besides, Han Qian is only twenty years old, even if he wants to reward him, he will appreciate more Tian Zhai Meiji, otherwise, Pu'er will one day understand that those courtiers who have no reward are more dangerous than the enemy country. ”

Shen He was shocked in his heart, and only then did he realize that His Majesty deliberately did not summon Han Qian this time, which was actually a warning to Han Qian. Of course, he thought deeply of His Majesty's words, thinking that Han Qian's son was so young and scheming, he would be crowned a marquis at this time, and he would pay it back in the future?
