The servant hurried to the inner courtyard to inform the people, and after a while, Xie Pi entered the study, he didn't expect his father to come back suddenly, and he didn't expect that he would be approached by his father to give a lecture. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xie Pi saw Xie Qian holding a letter in front of the candlestick and looking at it intently, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Father, I don't know what is the matter with looking for a child?" ”

Xie Qian glared at his son, but felt that his son was a little wronged, he rarely understood his family before, but after a day of war in Zhengyangmen, he suddenly felt the importance of his family, which was also the reason why he thought of going home for the first time after going down Zhengyangmen.

Xie Qian's expression softened, nodded as a greeting, and then said, "Father asked you to come over, there is an allusion to test you......"

Xie Pi chuckled in his heart, he was studying in the backyard well, and he was suddenly called over and said that he wanted to take the school examination, could there be some secret in this...... He has started a family but is forced to study by his family, because he is often scolded by his father and can't even shake up his husband in front of his wife, which makes him feel that he can't save face.

But Xie Pi didn't dare to disobey Xie Qian's intentions after all, and was about to accept it euphemistically, but he heard that his father had already asked the question, "...... Excuse the crime, Jing Lu Nan pointed out. Where does this phrase come from? ”

Xie Pi thought about it for a while, and then came up with it, after all, for a person who aspires to the imperial examination to be in contact with Shi Wen and policy all the year round, this thing is not so difficult, Xie Pi said:

"Feng Ci Felling Crime, Jing Lu Nan Refers to it, uttering "Three Kingdoms Chronicles, Wu Zhi", Pei Songzhi's note quotes "Jiangbiao Biography", 'Those who are close to the crime of resigning and felling, Jing Lu Nan refers to, Liu Cong restrains his hands. The Imabari naval army is 800,000 people, and Fang and the general will hunt in Wu', which means ......"

When Xie Qian heard this, he couldn't help but pat his head and sighed lightly: "How can I be so negligent! Alright, you stand down, and I'll call you over again if there's something! ”

Xie Pi was inexplicable, he was called over by his father and asked a few words, so that he could complete the assessment? was curious in his heart, but when he saw his father hurriedly packing up his things and leaving the door of the study by himself, Xie Pi's question became even greater:

"My father told me to step down, why did he walk faster than me? He was on duty in the palace, and now the capital is being attacked by foreign invaders, but the things he asked me have nothing to do with this, what is the connection between this? ”

Before Xie Pi could figure it out, Mrs. Xu came in a hurry, stepped into the door of the study and looked around, and asked, "Where is Father?" ”

Xie Pi replied: "Father came over in a hurry, asked and left!" ”

Mrs. Xu's face was full of loss, and she stomped her feet and said, "This is gone?" Let's not talk about what happened to Jingshi, now that rumors are spreading, how should our family deal with it...... No, you go out quickly, catch up and ask your father, let him explain a few more words, so that the family can have a bottom! ”

Xie Pi said embarrassedly: "Mother, my father is a minister, and now he is on an errand in the palace, and his daily contact is a major military matter, how can he talk to his son in detail?" You can rest assured, since your father has not explained the family affairs, it means that Jingshi is safe for the time being, and the family is living as usual. After a while of hurrying just now, my father had a lot of worries on his face, so it was better not to disturb him! ”

Mrs. Xu was originally angry, but when she heard her son's "mother", all her anger disappeared, and she took her son's hand with pity, with a gratified face:

"It's okay, your father is not here, and you are in charge of the house, so you can take care of everything more...... Pi'er, now the family is counting on you, you must study hard! ”

Xie Pi is Mrs. Xu's biological child, but she is not qualified to discipline her son after she goes out, which is the most sad and sad point for her.

……

……

Xie Qian came out of the study, went out of the front yard and came to the door, but Ma Wensheng still did not show up.

Xie Qian was upset: "Shen Xi'er suddenly sent a letter back, I was defenseless, everything was a mess, where should I find someone?" Do you really want to go to the palace to face the saint and mention it to Your Majesty, or go to the cabinet to discuss with Young Master Liu and others? If so, what is the point of Shen Xi'er believing in me? ”

Just when Xie Qian was at a loss, a horse came from the direction of Zhengyangmen and reined in the reins of the horse in front of the Xie Mansion Gate. A eunuch turned over and jumped down from his horse, strode over to Xie Qian, and said respectfully: "Elder Xie Ge, just got the news, the Tartars suddenly launched an attack from Xizhimen!" Your Majesty orders you to ...... Hurry up and take the prince back to the palace! ”

Xie Qian originally thought that Emperor Hongzhi wanted him to accompany the prince to Xizhimen to supervise the battle, but when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Tidying up his clothes, Xie Qian's first thought was not to go to Zhengyangmen to take Zhu Houzhao down, but to find Ma Wensheng as soon as possible to discuss what Shen Xi said. He turned to the porter and said, "Ma Shangshu come here, remember to let him go to Zhengyangmen, and tell him that something big has happened, and there is no time to delay!" ”

With that, Xie Qian hurriedly got into the carriage that had been waiting outside the mansion gate.

The carriage set off, and Xie Qianyu muttered to himself: "Shen Xi'er's meaning is most likely to ask the Beijing division to cooperate with the outside and send troops to respond...... However, why did he bring troops back to help? Isn't it good to stay honest in Juyongguan? Anyway, Juyongguan doesn't know what happened now, and there is no news coming back, which is really rare! ”

Xie Qian was extremely conflicted, willing to believe that what Yu Datong said was true, but also full of doubts, mainly because Shen Xi's sudden "resurrection from the dead" was too unbelievable.

The carriage was parked under the Zhengyangmen City, the fire was blazing on the city, almost every battlement was lit with torches, and bonfires were lit every fifty paces, and the soldiers were strictly guarded to prevent the Tatars from suddenly attacking the city.

As soon as Xie Qian arrived, Sui Zhong came over to salute: "Xie Ge Lao! ”

"Where is the detail that I caught before? Hurry up and bring someone here! ”

Xie Qian couldn't wait to say that if he wanted to know the situation of Shen Xi and the army under his command, only Yu Datong could explain it clearly.

Sui Zhong's face was full of embarrassment: "Go back to the old pavilion, people...... People ......"

Xie Qian was angry and asked, "What's wrong with people?" Didn't I kill you? ”

Sui Zhong hurriedly explained: "Don't misunderstand, messenger...... It's just that he was invited by the prince to go up to the city tower, and the prince is asking questions at this moment! ”

"Prince?"

Xie Qian never thought that Zhu Houzhao would come out to "make trouble" at this juncture, he thought about it and asked, "Does anyone else know about this matter?" ”

Sui Zhong shook his head: "I haven't reported it to others......"

Xie Qian waved his hand: "Okay, the old man knows how to deal with it, you arrange the city defense matters first, Xizhimen is currently having a night attack by Beikou soldiers and horses, if the military department has a transfer document to arrive, you can directly send soldiers and horses to help in the battle, no need to discuss with the prince and me!" ”

After speaking, Xie Qian didn't wait for Sui Zhong to answer, and went straight to the city.

On the city, Xie Qian stopped to breathe for a while, and then continued to climb, and when he entered the third floor of the city gate tower, he saw that the hall was brightly lit, and Zhu Houzhao was wearing a wide robe, dancing and saying something.

Xie Qian thought indignantly: "The crown prince is already thirteen years old, why is he not in shape at all?" Compared with Shen Xi Xiaoer, who was the champion at the same age, he is really one in the sky and one underground, no wonder Shen Xi Xiaoer can become the optimus jade pillar of the imperial court, and even when he encounters such a predicament as the civil fort, he is still in great trouble and does not die, what is he afraid of in the future? ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Xie Qian stepped forward and saluted.

Zhu Houzhao said excitedly: "Mr. Xie, are you back?" I just got good news here, it turns out that Mr. Shen ...... Ahem, Shen Qing's family is not dead, he is now not only successfully breaking through from Tumu Fort, but also killing and retreating Tatar soldiers and horses, and now he has led troops to enter Juyong Pass, and is preparing to return to Beijing to master King Qin! ”

Xie Qian had the urge to crash to death: "It took me a lot of effort to learn Shen Xi'er's intentions, such a toss, it's not as real as the prince's inquiry, I'm not asking for trouble?" ”

In his heart, he was happy because he was sure that Shen Xi was "alive", but Xie Qian still had a little doubt on his lips: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the words of the family cannot be trusted, who knows if this person is Di Yi's meticulous work!" ”

Zhu Houzhao was originally full of interest, but he was a little disappointed when he heard this: "Mr. Xie said all the sad words, this person knows a lot about the situation in the civil fort, and he also said the time and place clearly, how can it be a Tatar?" ”

"Hey, you don't have to be afraid, tell Mr. Xie what you know, what you said is good, the palace has a lot of rewards, promote you to be a general, and follow Shen Qing's family to make contributions in the future!"

Yu Datong was originally kneeling on the ground and was scared to death, but when he heard Zhu Houzhao's promise, he suddenly became bold and stood up to tell what he knew.

“…… Lord Shen led the troops to Xuanfu, at that time the villain was just an ordinary soldier, Lord Shen was troubled by several generals along the way, and before arriving at Xuanfu, he had issued three rewards to boost morale, but as soon as he arrived at the Jiming Station, he suddenly withdrew his troops, and the villain didn't know what was going on, and the soldiers and horses were stationed in Tumu Fort in a daze, and then the Tartars killed, and we quickly cut off contact with the outside world......"

Yu Datong has a flexible brain, his mouth is not stupid, he speaks in an orderly manner and knows how to pick up the key points, although the content of what he said is not detailed, but he basically explained the big and small things that Shen Xi experienced in Tumubao.

As soon as he finished talking about the battle with Huo Aya, Zhu Houzhao had already clenched his fists and said excitedly: "Fight well, fight well, the battle should be fought like this, pour out the nest, hide the artillery in the military formation, and when the Tartars come, suddenly show the artillery, let the Tartars know the strength of our Ming infantry phalanx." What's next, you go on ......"

The second battle after Yu Datong began to explain was to use "Mare" to fight the Tatars, forcing the Tatars to withdraw five miles around the Tumu Fort, and then grasp the opportunity to seize the time to build trenches, and finally form an impregnable fortress that held on for more than a month.

Not only did Zhu Houzhao listen to his enthusiasm, but even Xie Qian was a little distracted, because every battle and the results he told about it were a miracle in Xie Qian's eyes.

Xie Qian thought to himself: "Shen Xi'er's success is not accidental, he can transform the civil fort engraved on the pillar of historical shame in his own way, can resist the continuous attack of tens of thousands of Tatar soldiers, and finally successfully leads the troops back to Juyong Pass, this war will definitely go down in history." ”

Zhu Houzhao listened to Yu Datong's narration and asked, "Say it quickly, what else?" You haven't talked about the battle between Mr. Shen and Yibububu! ”

Yu Datong was dumbfounded and stammered: "Little ...... At that time, the villain was ordered to go out to investigate the enemy situation south of Juyong Pass, and he was not very clear about the situation during the battle. ”

"After the whole army is stationed in Juyong Pass, Lord Shen will immediately send an errand to the villain to deliver a letter to the capital, as for how the battle at the north entrance of Juyong Pass was fought, the villain is not very clear, but he knows that Mr. Shen has a very powerful junior brother, leading the troops to rush and kill, invincible, and no one in the army is dissatisfied!"
