Chapter 246: Suspicious
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
"Alright, don't be a sycophant! I want to tell you, this errand is not so simple, if it is done, then Zhao Guo does not have to suffer from the enemy on his back, and if it is smashed, then Zhao Guo is ambushed on all sides! ā
Shi Min was stunned for a moment and did not speak. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"What? Timid? Shi Hu turned his head and asked.
"There is no timidity." Shi Min hurriedly replied: "Sun Er is just thinking about what the Xiongnu Shan Yu will do now." ā
"Huns~" Shi Hu stopped again, frowned, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and said: "The Huns and the Qians are old enemies!" I'm afraid this knot will never be untied! ā
"Your Majesty, my grandson doesn't know, what is the deep hatred between the Huns and the Qian?"
"Back then, the Huns were beaten by the army of the Han Dynasty and had nowhere to stay, so some of the Huns moved westward, burning, killing and looting everywhere they went! Later, the ancestors of the Qiang people were taken into slavery. After the decline of the Han Dynasty, some of the Huns who migrated westward came back and brought my ancestors with them. After several generations of multiplication, the number of people in the Qiang tribe has increased. Later, it was Liu Yuan of the Xiongnu who destroyed the Sima clan and seized the Central Plains, and the Qian people followed to the Central Plains. A few decades ago, Emperor Taizu raised an army, freed his people from the enslavement of the Huns, and drove them back to the grasslands. Therefore, over the years, the Huns have repeatedly violated our border passes, because they have a deep hatred with the Qiang people! ā
"The Xiongnu have been plagued by the north since the Warring States Period, and it has been hundreds of years, but I didn't expect that several generations of famous generals of the Han Dynasty have failed to exterminate them!" Shi Min said resentfully.
"What? You still want to kill them all? Shi Hu smiled.
Shi Min said solemnly: "Such a person who is more hateful than a thief is useless to stay in the world, it is better to kill them all, and never suffer in the future!" ā
Shi Hu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but take a good look at the kid in front of him from top to bottom, he didn't expect that from the mouth of the young man in front of him, he actually said such a thing as killing everything.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty? Is there something wrong with the grandson? Seeing Shi Hu staring at him, Shi Min asked with some confusion.
Shi Hu smiled and said, "No, there's nothing wrong with it!" ā
Shi Min looked at Shi Hu and seemed to have something to say, but he didn't ask, the two walked for a while, Shi Hu suddenly asked: "You have fought with the Huns, what do you think of them?" ā
"The Huns can ride and shoot well, fight bravely, and have strict military discipline, which is indeed difficult to deal with."
"You kid is pretty reliable." Shi Hu glanced at Shi Min with a smile and said, "If you say that the Huns are vulnerable, then I will wonder if you are the material for the commander." ā
Shi Min said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty turned out to be tempting me? ā
"Hehe, this is called a soldier who is not tired of deceit! You have gained a lot on your first expedition, and I am afraid that you will be arrogant and have the intention of despising the enemy, and you will suffer losses in the future! ā
"Your Majesty's lesson is that your grandson will remember Your Majesty's teachings."
"You grew up watching me, the future of the country, the peace of the country, and the hands of your father and you!"
"Your Majesty's nurturing grace to my father and me, our father and son are unforgettable!" Shi Min said, respectfully saluting Shi Hu.
"Okay, okay, no need to be formal!" Shi Hu patted Shi Min, smiled with his hands behind his back, and said, "One of the most fortunate things I have done in my life is to bring your father back from the battlefield back then!" ā
Shi Min asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty, why did my father appear on the battlefield back then?" Didn't you say that when you adopted him, he was still an infant? ā
"This ......" Shi Hu was suddenly a little flustered, Shi Min's question reminded him of the fierce battle back then.
At that time, Shi Hu was ordered by Taizu Shile to kill the begging rebels in the Central Plains, that battle was the last battle between the people of the Qian people and the beggar army, the two sides fought bloodily for two days and two nights, the corpses killed were like mountains, and the blood flowed into rivers, that scene, in retrospect, still made Shi Hu shudder.
When the people of the Qiang tribe had killed the last of the beggars, Shi Hu heard a cry, and he searched for the cry, and finally found a month-old baby in a pit, wrapped in the banner of the beggar army, covered with a shield. Shi Hu pulled out his knife, originally planning to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but for some reason, when he was about to make a move, the child smiled at him.
Shi Hu followed Shi Le's southern expedition to the north and the south, killing countless people, looking at the child in front of him at this moment, he couldn't do it, and in the end, he picked up the child from the battlefield.
And this child is the later Shi Zhan.
"Your Majesty?" Seeing that Shi Hu was silent and thoughtful, Shi Min shouted in a low voice.
Shi Hu heard Shi Min call him, so he reacted from his thoughts and said casually: "I don't know why your father was on the battlefield, maybe your grandparents abandoned your father back then......
Shi Min nodded suspiciously, and did not ask any more questions.
And at this moment, there were waves in Shi Hu's heart, about Shi Zhan's true identity, there were few people who knew the situation and were alive. Over the years, he has also hesitated whether he will be a tiger raiser, but I don't know why, every time at this time, Shi Hu has always been ruthless to this adopted son, and even he has repeatedly rebelled against himself in public, and he is not willing to kill the killer, what is the reason for this, Shi Hu himself can't figure it out.
"What people!" Shi Min suddenly shouted.
"What's the situation?" Shi Hu was startled by Shi Min's sudden voice.
"There's someone over there!" Shi Min pointed not far away.
Shi Hu looked in the direction that Shi Min pointed, and a hundred steps away in an open space seemed to be lit with candles.
"Go and have a look! I want to see who dares to light an open fire in the palace at night. ā
Ever since Shi Hu had been haunted by nightmares, he had become more and more suspicious, so when he saw someone in front of him lighting candles in the palace at night, the anger in his heart was touched.
Shi Min hurriedly helped Shi Hu over, and it wasn't until the two got closer that they realized that someone was burning incense and praying.
"What a guts! Pretend to be a ghost in the palace at night! What a heart! Shi Hu scolded loudly.
When the women heard Shi Hu's voice, they found that someone had come over, and by the candlelight and moonlight, they immediately saw that it was the emperor, and the three of them were so frightened that they quickly knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty forgives your sins...... The concubine has no agenda......," said the man kneeling in the middle.
"Who are you! Which palace! What a guts! Shi Hu obviously didn't recognize who this person was.
"Your Majesty, it's a concubine......" The man raised his head and looked at Shi Hu with teary eyes.
"Concubine Zheng?" Only then did Shi Min see clearly that it was Concubine Zheng who was kneeling on the ground.
"Concubine Zheng?"
Shi Hu seemed to have forgotten her existence for a long time, so he took a few steps forward and looked down slightly, and the slightly old and familiar face was indeed the woman he had once pampered.
"What are you doing here! What kind of fame is this! Shi Hu didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and scolded.
"Your Majesty forgives your sins...... The concubine heard that His Majesty was sick, and she was very worried, so she ......"
"So what? Yes? That's why you came here at night and pretended to be a ghost and begged me to die soon, didn't you? Shi Hu was angry and directly interrupted Concubine Zheng's words.
"The concubine didn't dare to ...... The concubine is asking for blessings for His Majesty, and begs God to let His Majesty be healthy. ā
"Hmph~ I really thank you for your kindness!" Shi Hu sneered.
"The concubine doesn't dare, this is what the concubine should do......" Concubine Zheng said weakly.
"Can you not cry and mourn! I'm not dead yet! Shi Hu saw Concubine Zheng's aggrieved appearance and said impatiently.
"Yes, yes...... Your Majesty forgives your sins! Your Majesty forgives your sins! Concubine Zheng said, quickly wiped away the tears on her face, and forced a smile.
"Alright, alright! What a toss for the big night! Go back to the palace, and don't get in the way of me! Shi Hu waved his hand impatiently.
Concubine Zheng's side Xiaojun Xiaoya and the others hurriedly helped Concubine Zheng up, only to see Concubine Zheng salute respectfully and said, "Disturb Your Majesty Yaxing, the concubine is guilty...... The concubine retired ......"
"Next time I see this mess, I won't spare it!" Shi Hu scolded.
"Yes......" Concubine Zheng's eyes were full of grievances and sadness, and she had no choice but to swallow all the emotions in her heart back into her stomach and pretend that nothing had happened.
