In the East Palace of the Prince of the Dazheng Imperial Court in Luoyang, Wang Xuanying took the antidote sent by Du Zhenglun, slowly recuperating his spirit, and listening to the news that Du Zhenglun sent to himself:

"Zhenglun! You said that the eldest grandson Wuji hoped that the palace could help him and make Shan Xiongxin the main general of this expedition against Li Tang. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince!" Wang Xuanying lowered his head and didn't speak, Du Zhenglun knew that Wang Xuanying was thinking, if he was disturbed while thinking, then Wang Xuanying would be angry. So just stand aside and wait. Wang Xuanying slowly raised his head:

"Zhenglun, you said that this Shan Xiongxin has always been at odds with the palace, if the palace comes forward, will it make the emperor suspicious......" Du Zhenglun laughed in his heart - hum! After pondering for so long, I finally came up with such a bad idea, this man! If you don't have that much ability, don't wear such a big hat, and if you don't have such a smart mind, don't pick such a heavy 'burden'.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the humble minister thinks that it is most appropriate if you come forward!" Wang Xuanying looked at Du Zhenglun with some surprise:

"Zhenglun, why?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, you and the other two His Highnesses have always been at odds with Shan Xiongxin, and if you recommend Shan Xiongxin, on the one hand, it can prove that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has your mind, on the other hand, when the time comes, when Qin Shubao, Cheng Biting Jin and Niu Jinda and others rebel in front of the battle, then Shan Xiongxin is either captured by Li Tang or defeated and killed, if Shan Xiongxin is captured by Li Tang, according to his understanding of Shan Xiongxin, he likes loyalty and righteousness the most, at the beginning, he betrayed the Great Sui, followed Li Mi to rebel, and then abandoned Li Mi, As the emperor's son-in-law, this Da Zheng's concubine has already betrayed twice, so this time he will definitely not take refuge in Li Tang, when the time comes, in order to protect his reputation, Shan Xiongxin has only two ways to commit suicide or be killed. Wang Xuanying clapped his palms and said happily:

"Brilliant plan, brilliant plan! Hahaha! "Luoyang, in Shan Xiongxin's Horse Mansion, Shan Xiongxin's wife, Princess Guangling Wang Ying, was holding Shan Xiongxin's son Shan Zheng in the garden and watching Shan Xiongxin dance the sword. Shan Xiongxin's son, Shan Zheng, is almost a year old and has begun to utter some simple words.

"Zheng'er, good, look, how good Daddy is dancing with swords!" Shan Zheng seemed to be able to understand Princess Guangling's words, and shouted vigorously:

"Daddy! Father! I want Daddy! Shan Xiongxin heard Shan Zheng's shout, and immediately threw the sword in the direction of the scabbard on the weapon rack, and the sword was directly inserted into the scabbard, Shan just seemed to cheer for Shan Xiongxin, desperately clapping his little hand, Shan Xiongxin took Shan Zheng from the hand of Princess Guangling:

"Daddy! Father! Shan Xiongxin happily hugged Shan Zheng:

"Ahh My son has grown up again. Gained weight again. ”

"Daddy! Father...... I'm later, I'm ...... later. ...... in the future To be a daddy...... A big hero like Dad. Shan Xiongxin happily picked up Shan Zheng:

"Good! In the future, Daddy will wait for the child to grow up, and Daddy will pass on all the skills of the whole body to you at that time. Princess Guangling took the water-soaked towel from the servant's hand and wiped the sweat from Shan Xiongxin's forehead:

"Husband, are you tired."

"Hey! You guys are by my side, how can I be tired!? Besides, as a military general, you should practice, and you will be tired if you don't practice. Princess Guangling looked at her husband and son, and her face was full of happy smiles. At this time, the head of the Horse Mansion reported to Shan Xiongxin and Princess Guangling:

"Princess Qiyu, the emperor sent someone to deliver a decree, please enter the palace immediately to face the saint." When Shan Xiongxin heard this, he immediately apologized to Princess Guangling and said:

"Her Royal Highness Princess Qiqi, the emperor wants to enter the palace for her husband, please ask Her Royal Highness the princess for approval." Princess Guangling pretended to be angry and glared at Shan Xiongxin:

"Okay, husband, my father wants you to enter the palace to face the saint, hurry up!" Shan Xiongxin bowed down and replied:

"Yes! Wechen obeys! After Shan Xiongxin arrived at the Luoyang Palace, he found that Wang Xuanying, Wang Xuanshu, Wang Xuanqiong and other three brothers, as well as Wang Shishi, Wang Shiheng, Wang Shiwei, Wang Shiyun, Wang Shibian, Wang Tai, Wang Jundu, Wang Qianshou, Wang Honglie, Wang Xingben, Wang Wan, Wang Daocheng, Wang Daoxun, Wang Daokuo, Wang Renze, Wang Long, Wang Quan, Wang Kai, Wang Su, Duan Da and other civil and military generals have arrived.

"Ahh The horse master is here. Wang Xuanqiong greeted Shan Xiongxin first, as if she was so affectionate with Shan Xiongxin. In fact, Shan Xiong knew in his confidence that the contradictions between himself and the Wang clan were very deep, except for Wang Ren, who was a little more pleasing to the eye, and the other people, especially Wang Xuanying, Wang Xuanshu, and Wang Xuanqiong, were more than one to let themselves die. Wang Xuanqiong was the first to greet herself today, is there any conspiracy. At this time, the attendant in the hall shouted:

"The emperor arrived, and all the adults saluted." Many of the officials present heard the shouts of the attendants in the main hall and immediately bowed down. I saw Wang Shichong holding an official's hand and walking towards them:

"Ahh All the ministers are exempt from courtesy, flat body, hahaha! At this time, the officials present noticed the official next to Wang Shichong:

"Ahh Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce to you, this is the envoy sent by Dou Jiande, the king of Changle, who occupies the land of Qilu, and the prince of the country, Lord Ling Jing. Hearing that it was an envoy sent by Dou Jiande, Shan Xiongxin and others saluted Ling Jing:

"Ahh See Lord Ling! ”

"Ahh Everyone, please get up, please get up! Wang Shichong also shouted beside him:

"Rise up, all adults!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" When Shan Xiongxin, Duan Da, Wang Xuanying and other Wang clan ministers all got up, Wang Shichong opened his mouth and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you must be very curious to know, why did King Dou's Guozi Priest Wine come to our Luoyang?" The clan ministers and Da Zheng's relatives present all lowered their heads and did not speak:

"Hmmm! Ladies and gentlemen, Ling Xijiu came this time because he received an edict from King Dou to form an alliance with our dynasty and deal with Li Tang together. After hearing Wang Shichong's words, Shan Xiongxin and others congratulated Wang Shichong together:

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, now that King Dou is willing to cooperate with our dynasty, the emperor's great cause will definitely be successful."

"Yes! God bless me! Long live the emperor, long live the emperor! Wang Shichong was praised by the civil and military ministers, as if he had been pushed into the sky by them.

"Hmmm! Ladies and gentlemen, the widow still has two things to tell you today, that is, King Dou proposed that the widow should first send troops to attack Li Tang's Tongguan, and when the time comes, King Dou will assist from the side and attack Li Tang with the widow, and the soldiers and horses who will attack Li Tang have already been selected, mainly the soldiers and horses of the three generals such as Qin Shubao, Cheng Yanjin, and Niu Jinda, and your lordships can have objections. ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers have no objection." Wang Shichong nodded.

"Hmmm! The art of war is cloudy, and the snake can't be without a head, so the widow wants to choose an important minister of the court as the commander, and he is the candidate for the commander, and the widow wants to hear your opinion? "Most of the people present are human spirits, knowing that attacking Li Tang's Tongguan is not a fun thing, it has to be exchanged for their lives, and Tongguan guards Qu Tutong and Xu Shiji are not good at stubble, especially Xu Shiji, and they are Da Zheng is a blood feud, victory is absolutely impossible, if defeated, either Xu Shiji's knife cut off his head, or defeated by Wang Shichong, through the continuous political cleansing in Luoyang in recent years, these ministers except for Shan Xiongxin and a very few people have not been corrupted, These ministers of the Wang clan have all been softened by the gold and silver beauties who have not been copied, and let them go into battle to kill the enemy, it is good to be able to hold Luoyang. Seeing that they didn't speak one by one, Wang Shichong scolded loudly:

"What's the matter, my lords, all my clan relatives, I forgot when I was born and died with the widow, and now I have been softened by the gold and silver beauties and luxurious mansions full of warehouses. Do you want to let the widow drive the family and not be able to conquer it? The ministers of the Wang clan all lowered their heads and let Wang Shichong scold angrily, at this time, Wang Xuanying said:

"Father, now it is an eventful time in the court, the emperor's dragon body is expensive, you must not take care of the dragon body like you did at the beginning, you must take care of the dragon body!" Wang Shichong looked at his eldest son, the crown prince, and still felt some comfort in his heart - well! I don't think you want to go on the expedition in place of your father? Well! It's not bad, you still have some filial piety, but I don't know if you have the ability of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. Thinking of this, Wang Shichong suddenly had a sad feeling in his heart, feeling that he was too sad compared to Li Yuan, at least Li Yuan's four sons and one daughter could go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and made great contributions to the Dingding of the Li Tang Dynasty. And his three sons, in addition to ordinary archery and horse riding, were barely able to help when they went out in person, but now that they were made princes and crowned princes, they were all addicted to wine. Collecting people's wealth and exploiting the people are all experts, but when they go on the field to kill the enemy, I am afraid that one is more than a waste. Even so, Wang Shichong's heart is still full of expectations. I hope to hear the words Daifu go out from Wang Xuanying's mouth. However, Wang Shichong was immediately disappointed.

"Prince, this battle is related to the safety and survival of our dynasty, if the widow can't drive the expedition in person, I'm afraid it will be a major blow to the morale of the generals!" Wang Shichong said while staring at Wang Xuanying, Wang Xuanying was stared at by Wang Shichong in a cold sweat. At this time, Wang Xuanshu came out of class and said:

"Father is right! This battle is related to the safety and survival of our dynasty, and we must not be sloppy, so my sons thought that if my father could not drive the expedition in person, the eldest brother would go instead of my father. Wang Xuanqiong immediately got up and received:

"Enlighten the Emperor! Erchen thought that the second brother was right, the eldest brother is my eldest prince Zheng, and his identity is also very noble, besides, his father cannot go on the expedition temporarily, and the prince will replace him, which is just right, and the son also recommends the eldest brother and asks the father to issue an order to let the eldest brother go on the expedition instead of his father. With the power of the army! After Wang Xuanying heard the words of Wang Xuanshu and Wang Xuanqiong, his legs trembled with fear, if it weren't for so many people, I'm afraid he would have collapsed to the ground long ago-hum! You two sons of bitch, you just fell in love with the position of the prince of labor and management, and wanted to let labor and management go to Tongguan to die, hum! Labor and management won't let you get your wish, two bastards. Wang Shichong saw it in his eyes, and shook his head secretly in his heart - it's really useless, when is this happening, the three sons are still fighting for the crown prince, and I don't know how to share worries for my father. What a tiger father and a dog!

"Prince, do you have anything else to say? If not, step down! ”

"Father, my son's brother-in-law is my son's brother-in-law, and my eldest Zheng and Ma Shan Xiongxin can take on this great responsibility." As soon as Wang Xuanying's words were finished, the entire hall looked at Shan Xiongxin.
