Chapter 1275: Chilling
Xie Qian said that he wanted Shen Xi to give advice, but in fact, he wanted Shen Xi to draft a recital for him, so that Shen Xi could find an excuse for the truce, so that the imperial court could give an account to the people of the world. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Shen Xi thought to himself, what does this have to do with me?
I said no war, no war? Not to mention resigning my duties, but also throwing my soldiers and horses outside the city, and turning my head and asking me to propose a truce, what am I doing in this troubled water?
Shen Xi said: "Back to the old pavilion, the students have no objection!" ”
Xie Qian was dissatisfied: "You said no objection yet?" ”
Shen Xi said: "Students have almost no right to speak in the court, and it is really inappropriate to discuss the affairs of the court in vain. As for the use of soldiers, students should listen to the teachings of the elder and dare not talk about it! ”
Turning over and over, Shen Xi just had one meaning, don't ask me, it's useless to ask me!
Xie Qian was so angry that he wanted to slap the table, but seeing Shen Xi's respectful appearance, he could only forcibly suppress the anger. He knew that Shen Xi had just returned to the capital, so he immediately asked Shen Xi to draft the recital and ticket drafts too hastily, and said angrily at the moment:
"If you have time to take a closer look, the court can't make ends meet, who will give them food for the soldiers you brought back? What do you feed your family? ”
It's okay not to say it, Xie Qian said this, and Shen Xi suddenly began to worry about this problem.
When Shen Xi left the capital, the Shen family did not come back, and when the family returned to the capital, the land of Gyeonggi was already in a wartime state, and the price of grain on the market must be ridiculously expensive.
Shen Xi asked, "Elder Ge, during the time when the students went on the expedition, nothing happened to the Shen family, right?" ”
Xie Qian frowned: "What do you mean kid?" What could happen? Don't you want to say, someone is going to harass your family? It's also the mansion of the second rank of the imperial court, who dares!? ”
Shen Xi said: "Others may not dare, but the students heard that before the capital searched for the rebels, they openly entered the palace of the ministers of the DPRK and China to search, and in order not to be harassed, every household had to hand over the state treasury according to the established amount of silver, but is there such a thing?" ”
Xie Qian's face suddenly became very ugly, he naturally knew about this matter, and even when Liu Jian made this suggestion, he was still one of the witnesses present.
Perhaps Liu Jian originally made this decision out of kindness to prevent the Jingshi from being infiltrated by Tatar spies, but under the circumstances at the time, the people below took advantage of this opportunity to go on a rampage and deviate things.
Even if Xie Qian later found out that the situation was wrong, there was no way to make up for it, so he could only hastily stop it with Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, and then he didn't dare to report the matter to the emperor.
Xie Qian's face darkened: "Don't worry, no one in your family dares to go." Why are they all the homes of the old man and granddaughter, do you think the old man will let people go to your house to make trouble? ”
Shen Xi sighed lightly and didn't say much, at this time he was full of disappointment in the imperial court.
The people who formulated the strategy in the DPRK and China obviously did not eat the fireworks of the world, and thought that they were highly educated and could control the overall situation, but the strategies formulated were not grounded, and in the end they almost caused the Beijing division to fall, and even the capital did not fall.
……
……
Shen Xi stayed in Xie Qian's courtyard that night, and rested after a simple meal.
The next day, the sky was bright, Shen Xi had already gotten up, he didn't care about washing, he didn't eat breakfast, he didn't say hello to Xie Qian, and left the courtyard directly.
There is nothing to do, and Shen Xi has no task to go to the court, what he has to do at this time is to go home immediately and see his family who has been separated for a long time.
Since the beginning of the year, Guangzhou Mansion led the troops to the expedition, since then Shen Xi has not seen his relatives, when he left Xie Hengnu was just pregnant, but now Xie Hengnu is close to giving birth, almost eight months in between.
Shen Xi left the small courtyard, and before he had gone far, he saw a carriage coming from the opposite side, Shen Xi subconsciously avoided it, who would have thought that the carriage stopped, and a person came down from the carriage, but it was Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang, whom Shen Xi did not want to see.
Zhang Yanling greeted from afar: "This is not Shen Zhongcheng? ”
Shen Xi had no choice but to step forward and bow his hand slightly: "I've seen Jianchang Hou!" ”
Zhang Yanling sneered: "Shen Zhongcheng is such a big shelf, when he saw Ben Hou, he didn't even call Hou Ye, but you think that Ben Hou is not worth mentioning at all in your eyes?" ”
Shen Xi didn't know how Zhang Yanling could appear here...... Was it a coincidence, or did Zhang Yanling come over to block people?
Zhang Yanling's tone was not good, indicating that he may have been aware of some of the things that were targeted at him before, but now he wants to suppress himself, it is not as easy as it was at the beginning, he used to be just a small Hanlin official, and now he is a feudal official, a hero of the Ming Dynasty, who dares to act rashly?
Shen Xi said: "Uncle Guo, forgive me, I will go back to my house in the next place, if I have time to go back, I will definitely come to visit!" ”
If you don't like to hear me call you Marquis of Jianchang, then call you uncle, and want me to call you Marquis, there is no door!
Isn't it just a national uncle who climbed up by nepotism, without Queen Zhang, you can't even get a show with your skills, let alone be an official in the court.
Shen Xi didn't want to have a conflict with Zhang Yanling, before he targeted Zhang Yanling and even his brother, all for self-preservation, you must know that when Song Xiaocheng and others were sent to kidnap Zhang Yanling, there was actually a chance to tear up the ticket, or he took the initiative to let Zhang Yanling go.
Zhang Yanling sneered: "Shen Zhongcheng is really a busy man, and he doesn't even want to talk to me more...... Hmph, let's see! ”
After speaking, the Marquis of Jianchang got back into the carriage and drove away, Shen Xi waited beside him for a long time, and watched the carriage go away before walking home quickly.
According to the number of etiquette, the Marquis of Jianchang is more respectful than Shen Xi, but the civil officials of the imperial court all have the backbone, and the emperor will not easily embarrass the civil officials for his brother-in-law, unless it is Empress Zhang who blows the pillow wind in the emperor's ear.
……
……
After Zhang Yanling staggered with Shen Xi in the carriage, he was in a bad mood.
Now it is not the emperor who is being blown by the pillow wind, but him.
Xinna's concubine is still pampered by Zhang Yanling, and she can't wait to stick together all the time.
But this concubine has a deep grudge against Shen Xi, and he said bad things about Shen Xi in Zhang Yanling's ear when he had nothing to do, Zhang Yanling himself hated Shen Xi, he suspected that his kidnapping was related to Shen Xi, he thought that Shen Xi was dead, and he was a hundred, but Shen Xi came back well, and when he left home in the morning, he was said a few bad words about Shen Xi in his ear by the concubine, but he didn't wait for him to meet the main owner before he arrived at the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, which can be said to be a coincidence.
"This kid doesn't cry when he doesn't see the coffin, and he thinks Ben Hou is a bully? Even if you are now the imperial history of the right capital, if Benhou wants to ruin your reputation, it is not a matter of day? ”
Zhang Yanling scolded on his lips, but he was indignant in his heart. The servant who was driving the car in front turned around and said, "Master, why don't you find a few people to set a fire and burn that kid's house?" ”
Zhang Yanling lifted the curtain and stretched out his hand, and slapped the head of the talking servant: "You don't have a long memory, you think it's the house of the Pingtou people, and you will burn it when you say it?" If the emperor knows that Benhou is going to burn his palace, how do you let Benhou deal with himself? ”
The servant was a little unconvinced: "Master, let the little ones burn it, it has nothing to do with you!" ”
"Smack!" Another slap in the head.
Zhang Yanling said: "Things that don't open up, if something happens to you, can Ben Hou escape responsibility?" The capital is now under martial law, and it is strange that a group of you people are blatantly going to burn down the house and not being traced. I put up with this breath first, and after a while I saw how I cleaned him up, I thought that my wings were stiff at a young age, so I shaved his hair to see how long he could jump! ”
While scolding, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and when Zhang Yanling got down from the carriage, he happened to see Zhang Mao coming out of the yamen.
Zhang Mao, as the person in charge of the army, stayed in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies for the past few days and did not return to the house, even if Zhang Yanling was a little disdainful of Zhang Mao, he still stepped forward to greet him: "Old man Zhang, have you not slept or just woken up?" ”
Zhang Mao replied: "Yesterday I was busy with work, but I still slept for two or three hours, isn't this ...... There is news from the Xuanda area from the military department, I'll go over and see what the situation is! ”
Zhang Yanling said: "Ben Hou will go with you!" ”
In front of Zhang Mao, Zhang Yanling was a little unscrupulous, after all, he was the uncle of the country, the closest person to the royal family, and Zhang Mao was just a hereditary duke, and he thought he had the ability to be arrogant. Zhang Mao's face was a little unpleasant, but he could only suppress his anger in his heart. When the two arrived at the military headquarters together, they heard a familiar voice shouting from afar:
“…… This palace doesn't care, let Shen Xi come out, this palace won't leave here today! Which of you dares to talk to your father, don't say that this palace is in a hurry with him! ”
Zhang Yanling had a headache when he heard this voice, he didn't care about this little nephew before, but in the past two years, as Zhu Houzhao grew older, he slowly found that he couldn't control this kid.
Zhang Mao and Zhang Yanling entered, there was no one inside, Zhu Houzhao was angry at the object of the left attendant of the military department Xiong Xiu, Xiong Xiu was a little dazed at this time, and when he saw the British Duke and the Marquis of Jianchang coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Zhu Houzhao sat on the Taishi chair in the middle of the lobby of the military headquarters, pointed at Zhang Mao and Zhang Yanling angrily and asked, "What about Shen Xi?" Let him come to Hongu! ”
From last night to now, Zhang Mao has never seen Shen Xi at all, and he doesn't know how to answer for a while. Zhang Yanling was relieved, and said with a smile:
"Prince, the minister just saw Shen Zhongcheng before, he went to the north of the city, saying that he had just returned to the capital, so he would go home first!"
After listening to this, Zhu Houzhao stood up anxiously and walked directly to the lobby of the military department, and when he went out of the door, Zhang Mao suddenly realized, why did this kid run to the lobby of the military department early in the morning to make a fuss?
Zhang Mao thought to himself: "How can Your Majesty let the crown prince run around the capital during the war? ”
Zhang Mao hurriedly chased him out and asked, "Prince, where is this going?" ”
Zhu Houzhao's voice came from afar: "This palace goes to see Shen Xi, you don't have to follow!" ”
