037 A pair of fools
From childhood to adulthood, Shen Haolin has been the object of Shen Cha's admiration and learning, she hopes that she can be as diligent and loving the people as her brother, and can guard the land and defend the territory like her brother, but she does not expect herself to become the guard of one side. Her greatest wish is that she can stay by her brother's side in this life and become his most powerful assistant, so that the two of them can never leave and spend their lives together. Although she may face some difficulties in achieving such a wish, Shen Cha is not afraid, as long as her mind is firm, any difficulties can be solved.
I thought about it for a while beside Shen Haolin's bedside, I thought I would be sleepy, but I didn't expect it to become more and more energetic, and the little sleepiness that occurred when I took a bath is now gone. Shen Cha stood up, stretched his waist, pulled Shen Haolin's quilt up, walked to the edge of the soft couch with the teacup, looked at the two stacks of official documents on the small table, and sighed.
It wasn't these official documents that embarrassed her, and it didn't take much time to read them. What really gives Shen Cha a headache is that he has to start working for the New Year, especially preparing for the New Year's ceremony, and the relationship with Xijing, which needs to be cautious and careful, not just prepare something to send over.
Since the death of the old grandfather and the duchess of the country, Shen Cha is responsible for the suitable New Year and the personal contacts that the Guogong Mansion needs to prepare for the New Year every year. The complicated relationship on Xijing's side has to be sorted out several months in advance every year, which really gives her a headache, and it is more laborious than preparing for a decisive battle with Liao and Jin.
In the past, I could discuss it with my brother, but this year, my brother is sick, and there is no way to give her ideas, and Xue Ruitian is really not a reliable guy, and what he gives is not advice, but bad ideas.
Shen Cha looked at the gift lists spread on the table and continued to sigh, it was really a little difficult for her to let her face these alone.
The New Year's gift to Emperor Xia Song Jue is the simplest of all the gift lists, as long as you send him a car of Jiapingguan's specialties. Song Jue was born casually, he doesn't like to be bound by secular etiquette, if he is not forced to do so, he is not willing to ascend the throne and become the emperor, how good it is to travel in the mountains and rivers, trapped in the cage of the imperial city, for Song Jue, it is a crime.
Therefore, Song Jue is particularly envious of his brothers, and he also resents them a little, these guys have better ability to apply oil on the soles of their feet than him, and he hasn't reacted yet, these people either sneaked to the border to fight, or ran out to travel in the mountains and rivers, and they all refused to stay in Xijing to suffer. finally waited until the Chinese New Year, and the brothers and sisters finally gathered, but as soon as they heard that they were going to inherit the throne, they ran faster than rabbits one by one, and after the fifth day of the new year, let alone looking for someone to enter the palace, they couldn't even find a shadow.
Shen Cha expressed deep sympathy for Song Jue's experience, and it was incredible to think about it, from ancient times to the present, in all dynasties, the imperial power and the throne are all longed for by everyone, and everyone will do whatever it takes to fight for it.
Putting Song Jue's gift list aside, Shen Cha went to look through the records of the generals who applied for family visits, and did not see the names of Song Qiyun and Xia Jiu, she frowned slightly, added a stroke to her notebook, and prepared to ask them what they planned after dawn.
The gift list of other mansions in Xijing that have dealings with the Zhenguo Mansion, Shen Cha tried her best, and finally arranged them before the change, looking at the dozen or so pieces of paper spread on the table, she rubbed her neck, this night was finally not in vain, go back to Xue Ruitian for a detailed look, no problem can be prepared according to the list, and send someone back to Xijing.
After getting the New Year's gift sent back to Xijing, Shen Cha still has a major matter to solve, the people of Jiaping Guancheng and the soldiers of the Shen family army will also receive the New Year's gift from the Zhenguo Mansion and the Wuding Marquis Mansion during the New Year every year. According to the practice of previous years, it has already been distributed at this time, but this year it has been delayed for a long time.
However, the people and soldiers did not have any dissatisfaction with this, and they also knew that the situation this year was very different from previous years. In less than a month, Shen Cha and Shen Haolin were injured and sick on their front and back feet, and everyone was worried about their physical condition, and no one really cared about the New Year's gift. Even the newly recruited recruits showed varying degrees of worry, and even Dai Yi, who had been severely taught by Shen Cha, was very anxious when he heard about the assassination, and hoped that General Shen could recover one day sooner.
Despite this, the Zhenguo Mansion and the Shen Jiajun were still affected somewhat, although it was not to the point where the army's morale was weakened, but everyone's mood was bad and depressed. Recently, the school officers in charge of training have all reported that many soldiers have been absent-minded and passive in their work, and they asked Shen Cha to come forward to appease him at the appropriate time.
But Shen Haolin has not woken up yet, Shen Cha really doesn't dare to leave Tiger Hill one step, the so-called pacification thing still has to wait and talk, but the rewards for the New Year can be sent down, and those soldiers who are going home for the New Year can bring these things with them, which can be regarded as adding a little joy to the family.
After this major matter has been dealt with, it is almost a change, Shen Cha put all the documents outside and filed them in different categories, if Shen Haolin wants to consult them in the future, it is also very convenient.
"General, General!" Ying Seventeen, who was in charge of the night, knocked on the door gently, and when he saw Shen Cha coming out in a cloak, he brought the secret letter to him with both hands, and said in a low voice, "This is the news that the seventh brother, the eighth brother, and the little thirteen asked the military division to transfer to the general, and it is the news from the Liao and Jin borders." ”
"The military division's end?" Shen Cha nodded, took the letter, and asked, "How's the situation?" ”
"It should be fine." Shadow Seventeen chuckled, "I just took a look, those three guys can be alive again after lying in bed for two days, don't worry general." ”
"Got it, let them heal well." Shen Cha turned around and was about to enter the house, and was just about to push the door in, but he stopped again, turned to Ying Seventeen and said, "Go find Jin Miaomiao to ask for medicine to treat external injuries and send them over." ”
"Yes, General!" Shadow Seventeen agreed, "By the way, General, do you want to prepare a supper for you?" ”
"No need, I'm going to sleep later, thank you!"
Shen Cha entered the house, closed the door, walked to the back of the bookcase and sat down, opened the secret letter in his hand, and read it seriously.
The three shadows did not run in vain, as Shen Haolin expected, although the armies of Liao and Jin who were responsible for guarding the border did not move, but the defense was more rigorous than before, the number of patrols per day doubled, and the patrol time was also extended a lot, and they felt extremely guarded, as if they were worried about something.
"Afraid of being attacked?"
Shen Cha shook her head helplessly, and found out the news sent by Zheng Min from Linhuang Mansion during the day and the report of the eyeliner arranged in the Yiqing Mansion of the Jin Kingdom. Moreover, the object of their vigilance is not simply Daxia, the two countries themselves are also not pleasing to each other, and they have to fight a war from time to time, and they must guard against each other taking advantage of the fire to rob when they are most difficult.
Thinking of this, Shen Cha couldn't help but sneer, Liao and Jin are really a pair of fools who are a good match, and they don't think about it well, even if they know that there is indeed a chance to take advantage of it, no one will really do anything, at most, they will be addicted, think about it in their minds and on the formation diagram, and what benefits they can get when they encounter a similar situation in the future. After all, under the foundation of this year, whether it is Daxia, Liao, or Jinguo, all the people are busy with the New Year, and if someone raises troops at this juncture, they will definitely be angry and attacked by the masses.
Shen Cha shook his head, the brains of foreign clans are really not good, such a stupid person still wants to take Great Xia for himself, it is simply a pipe dream!
Put away the secret letter in his hand and put it in the small box, Shen Cha stood up and moved his body, walked to the inside, took a quilt from the cabinet and put it on the soft couch, put a pot of hot water on the small coffee table next to Shen Haolin's bed, blew out the two lights, lay down on the soft couch, covered the quilt, and smiled slightly towards the bed.
"Brother, see you tomorrow!"
