At this moment, Uncle Shen suddenly understood the reason why Huangfu Wujin put the children of the Shen family back, and put the children of the Shen family back, so Shen Yuan became the middle of the imperial history and the secretary of the Dali Temple, Shen Qiwu wanted to be the head of the military department, and the eldest son of Shen Ji was the governor of Hanzhong, and it is said that the other son was also going to be the general of Jin Wuwei, and among the children of the Shen family who were put back, I heard that there were still a few people who were going to go to the place to serve as assassins, plus Shen Xiangguo, Empress Dowager Shen and Generalissimo Shen, Yongjing is really the world of the Shen family.

Huangfu Wujin was afraid that the children of the Shen family would not be enough to be officials, so he put them back, so that he could tell the people of the world that Yongjing's relatives were plotting rebellion.

Uncle Shen Guo was shocked into a cold sweat, the Queen Mother had already fallen for Huangfu Wujin's plan to 'invite the king into the urn', but she was still unconscious.

"No, I'm not going to let you accept this position!"

Uncle Shen Guo unceremoniously rejected his son's request, Shen Qiwu fell into the abyss as if he had stepped on the air, his face showed extreme frustration, he was arrested and imprisoned in Jiangning, and the desperate feeling of being imprisoned suddenly came to his heart again, he couldn't help it anymore, 'Plop! He fell on his knees before his father and cried out angrily, "Father, why not! ”

Uncle Shen's face sank, and he said coldly: "Are you talking to your father like this?" ”

Shen Qiwu fell to the ground and cried bitterly: "Father, Jiangning Mansion was arrested, imprisoned for several months, no one spoke, no books, sitting in a well and watching the sky in the small courtyard, that kind of pain, the child was already desperate, thinking that his life was over, but the aunt ignored the past suspicions, appointed the child as the squire of the military department, and finally started a new life, does the father still want the child to fall into hell?" ”

Uncle Shen Guo sighed, his heart was full of pity for his son, he hurriedly helped his son up, "Child, it's Daddy who is not good, I shouldn't be so cruel to you, you sit down and listen to Daddy tell you slowly." ”

Shen Qiwu wiped away his tears and sat in front of his father, just as he listened to his father teach him when he was young, Uncle Shen Guo's love for licking the calf spontaneously arose, he held his son's hand, and said slowly: "Do you know, why did the Queen Mother appoint you as the squire of the military department?" ”

Shen Qiwu nodded, "The child understands in her heart that this is a signal that the Queen Mother wants to reconcile with her father, the situation outside is critical, and the Queen Mother is anxious, so she can only beg her father to go out of the mountain, and appointing the child is her submission to her father." ”

Uncle Shen Guo smiled, yes, his son still has a little vision, "Hmm! You are right, the Queen Mother is indeed subservient to me, but you know, why didn't I let you accept the appointment? ”

Shen Qiwu lowered his head and thought for a while: "Does my father want to retreat and advance and force the Queen Mother to make greater concessions?" ”

"That's only part of the reason, not the main reason."

Uncle Shen Guo sighed and said, "Do you know where the contradiction between me and the Queen Mother is?" ”

"The child has heard that his father wants to push the administrative hall system and abolish the queen mother's curtain system, but the queen mother will never agree, so there will be the Wenxin Society incident."

"In fact, the abolition of the queen mother's curtain system is just a appearance, our deep-seated contradiction is in the world in the end of what is the surname, the world is surnamed Huangfu, or the surname Shen, your aunt and second uncle want to let the world surname Shen, and I don't agree, so there will be Shen Ji as the king of Qin, I resigned as the king of Hanzhong, I originally thought that your aunt would be somewhat restrained, it can be seen that she also named Shen Yuan as the imperial history of the Cheng and Dali Temple, I know that our contradictions are deep, it is difficult to reconcile."

Shen Qiwu was taken aback, "But.... How is this possible? The world will not accept it. ”

"Yes! I also know it's impossible, but they don't think so, it's really difficult for a person to turn back after going astray, like your second uncle Shenji, is he willing to give up the title of King of Qin? And your Queen Mother's aunt, is she willing to give up the power in her hands? Even you have to make a big fuss with me for a powerless military squire, so it can be seen that it is almost impossible to make them give up their vested interests, and the final result of not giving up their vested interests is the usurpation of the Shen family, and this road can only be this result in the end. ”

Shen Qiwu is also a smart person, and when he understood this, his heart suddenly brightened, and he nodded silently, "Father, the child understands, the child will refuse the appointment of the Queen Mother." ”

Uncle Shen patted his son's shoulder with relief, "It is worthy of my Shen Qin's son, I know to stop in front of the fire pit, but my father will not treat you badly." ”

He took out a gold medal and handed it to his son, and said in a low voice: "You can call it sick and go south to Shuzhou, go to Jiaozhi County, Jiaozhi County Thorn Shi Wang Bo is my protégé, Jiuzhen County Thorn Shi Zhao Wei is also my henchman, I raised a private army of 3,000 people in Jiaozhi County and Jiuzhen County, you can go and master this private army, this gold medal is the gold medal for troop transfer." ”

Shen Qiwu nodded, he understood what his father meant, and his father wanted to leave a way back for himself, "The child understands, the child will set off immediately." ”

At this moment, the butler's voice came from outside the pavilion, "Master, Bai Xiangguo is here, ask to see the master!" ”

Bai Xiangguo is Bai Mingkai, he must have been sent by the Queen Mother, Uncle Shen immediately said: "I know, please come to my study for a while." ”

He said to his son again: "After you go to Shuzhou, don't go directly to Jiaozhi by land, the land route is too difficult, you go to Hepu County first, find the Xinlong Trading House, which is also your father's property, there are more than a dozen sea ships there, you can take a boat to Longan Port in Jiuzhen County, and from there you go ashore, and the private army is in Longan Port." ”

Xinlong Commercial Bank is a well-known maritime merchant in Guangzhou, specializing in trade with Nanyang, the profits are rolling, the head office is in Nanhai County, there are hundreds of ships in the sea, and there is also a branch in Hepu County, specializing in rice trade with Annan, Jiuzhen County is the southernmost county of the Daning Dynasty, close to Annan.

It turned out that Xinlong Commercial Bank was his father's property, Shen Qiwu suddenly realized, he had to admire his father's vision, he scratched his head embarrassedly, "The child has always thought that his father's back road is in Jiangning Mansion!" was occupied by Huangfu Wujin, and I was worried for a long time. ”

Uncle Shen Guo squinted and smiled, "The cunning rabbit still has three holes, how can your father only leave one way for himself?" ”

．．．．．．．．． In Uncle Shen's outer study, Bai Mingkai is pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, he is now promoted to the left minister, in charge of the three departments of punishment, etiquette and soldiers, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, he is also an important candidate used by the Empress Dowager Shen to contain Uncle Shen, if the Xiliang Army does not defeat the Lingwu Army, it is likely that Bai Mingkai will replace Uncle Shen and become the right minister, holding all the power of the court.

But the drastic change in the situation made Empress Dowager Shen anxious and had to make concessions to Uncle Shen, and she finally realized that Uncle Shen's plan was right, and she should use Shuzhou for the Western Liang army to retreat south.

"I'm sorry, fishing in the back garden made Bai Xiangguo wait for a long time."

Uncle Shen Guo walked in with a smile, Bai Mingkai hurriedly gave a salute and said with a smile: "On such a cold day, Xiangguo and Yaxing are fishing, it seems that the sick body has been cured." ”

"After 20 days of recuperation, the illness is like a thread, and it can be regarded as gradually recovering, which is not easy!"

Uncle Shen Guo waved his hand, "Bai Xiangguo, please take a seat!" ”

The two sat down, and Uncle Shen Guo smiled slightly: "Bai Xiangguo, can Miao'er find it?" ”

Bai Mingkai's heart jumped suddenly, how could Uncle Shen suddenly come up with this sentence, did he know something? Bai Mingkai couldn't help but feel weak for a while, but after thinking about it again, his daughter was extremely secret in the Huangfu Wujin Mansion, and she also changed her name, only Su Xun knew to outsiders, and the Su family would never leak it out, impossible, it should just be Uncle Shen Guo casually asking.

Bai Mingkai sighed, "There is no news for the time being, this child, marrying the wrong person, has harmed her for the rest of her life, and the parents are also affected." ”

"Bai Xiangguo don't worry too much, I don't think it's going to be fine, after all, there are still a lot of maids and servants beside Miao'er, if something happens, they will come back to report, the situation is unstable now, it is estimated that Miao'er is hiding somewhere!"

"I think so too, so there's a glimmer of hope in my heart."

Bai Mingkai took a sip of tea, and then turned the topic to today's meaning, "Xiangguo must have heard about the battle of Lingwu and the battle of Liupan Pass, now that the Xiliang army has taken Luojiao County, the situation in Guanzhong is dangerous and abnormal, the Queen Mother has been sleepless for two nights, and the Queen Mother wants to ask Xiangguo, is there a good plan now?" ”

Uncle Shen Guo smiled slightly, "It's very simple! Withdraw Shenji's army and let Shao Jingwen retreat to southern Jin, the crisis will naturally be alleviated, Huangfu Wujin is just putting pressure, and he is not really going to capture Guanzhong, what is the Queen Mother worried about? ”

Bai Mingkai was stunned for a moment, "Xiangguo, is it that simple?" ”

In fact, he is just pretending, how can he not know, it is just a thing in the officialdom, he should pretend to be confused, and he has to pretend to be confused.

Uncle Shen nodded, "That's right, it's as simple as that, if Huangfu Wujin wants to take Guanzhong, then he should be enthroned as emperor now, not the regent of the prison country, doesn't the queen mother understand?" ”

"The Queen Mother also said the same, but she felt that if the army was withdrawn to Guanzhong, Yuzhou would all be returned to the King of Qi, and Yongzhou would gain nothing, so it was really difficult to explain to the court, and she was very embarrassed."

"Humph!" Uncle Shen Guo sneered, "If she doesn't withdraw her troops, within three days, the Xiliang army will be under Yongjing City, it's as simple as that, do you think Huangfu Wujin is willing to fight against the Yongqi coalition army?" "Actually, the Queen Mother also knows!"

Bai Mingkai sighed, "The Queen Mother said to me, she also regrets not listening to your opinion, she should form an alliance with Huangfu Wujin, and exchange Shuzhou for the retreat of the Xiliang army to the south, now I don't know if I can ...... it again."

Uncle Shen shook his head and said: "It's impossible, the best time is before Huangfu Wujin attacks Qizhou, at that time he was not ambitious, he wanted to unify the south, at that time it was definitely no problem to exchange Shuzhou for the Xiliang army to retreat south, and then he took advantage of the emptiness of Qizhou to sneak attack and take Qizhou, his ambition began to swell, no longer thinking about unifying the south, but considering unifying the world, but at this time, we still have a chance, because he has an unstable foothold in Qizhou, he is also worried that the Yongqi coalition army is strong, and he has difficulty supplying the Xiliang army, So as long as I am willing to give in, he should still be willing to form an alliance and withdraw the Xiliang army south to Shuzhou, but as soon as Huangfu Heng dies, he will no longer have the slightest room for peace with Yongjing, haven't you seen his inscription? If he forms an alliance with Yongzhou again at this time, he will lose his trust in the world, which is equivalent to recognizing the legitimacy of Yongjing, he will not be so stupid, and he will also stand firm in Qizhou, and there is Xiliang Army to threaten Yongjing for him, if it were you, Bai Xiangguo, would you still be willing to form an alliance? ”

Bai Mingkai was helpless, so he had to nod, "Okay!" I went to report to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother hoped that Shen Xiangguo would recover as soon as possible and be able to come out to preside over the government, I don't know when Xiangguo will be able to go to court? ”

"This ..... I can go to court at any time. ”

Uncle Shen Guo groaned and said, "But I have one condition, please ask Shen Ji to resign as the king of Qin." ”
