Chapter 114: War

Whether there is another hidden story in Xue Guogong's case, the emperor naturally knows it.

It's just that the people who should be sacrificed have been sacrificed, and the power that should be secured has been secured, and it is useless to say that these things are now useless.

"Gillian, listen to me, don't look any further into this matter, you will never know who you are about to hostile against, or rather, who it is."

The emperor's words implied that it was already obvious, he could guarantee Meng Jiao's glory, wealth, peace and joy, this was his affection for Xue Wan.

However, if Meng Jiao touches the interests of imperial power, the emperor will naturally be able to distinguish between the country and the beauty.

After all, even if Xue Wan was alive back then, she couldn't prevent the Xue family from falling, let alone Meng Jiao today.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

A word of thanks for the love, and there was no more follow-up.

The emperor knew that Meng Jiao had passed on Xue Wan's stubborn temperament, and if he couldn't find the truth of the matter, he was afraid that he wouldn't give up easily.

Before he wanted to say a few more words, Mu Fu suddenly ran in from outside, looking flustered, and he didn't care whether it was appropriate for Meng Jiao to listen here, so he knelt on the ground and trembled loudly.

"Your Majesty! Big things are wrong! Northwest Yanmen Emergency! ”

"Say something!"

"Qi Yang, the commander of the Great Oak Dule Army, led 30,000 elite cavalry under his command to raid the border fortress, and it was only a hundred miles away from reaching the Yanmen Pass three days ago!"

When the Yanmen Pass is broken, the Oak army can drive straight into the nine cities of Dayan.

Three days ago, it was only a hundred miles away, but now, I am afraid that the troops are almost in the city.

"Shame on the big oak! Take advantage of the approaching New Year of my Dayan and raid Yanmen! Mu Fu, pass on my will, quickly summon Shen Yunxiao into the palace, and go straight to the Lin De Hall to see me! ”

Mu Fu received the holy decree, and he didn't dare to delay for half an hour, so he quickly got up from the bottom and hurried from the palace to the Shen family's mansion.

Because the emperor wanted to discuss major matters in the Linde Palace, Meng Jiao, the female dependent, naturally could not be in the hall together, and after bidding farewell to the emperor, she returned to Ruizhangtai with the guidance of the palace people waiting outside.

Concubine An Guifei had already gotten the letter, and when she was waiting at the gate of the palace, she saw Meng Jiao walking here a little lost in her soul.

Concubine An was a little distressed, so she hurriedly took two steps and hugged the little girl tightly in her arms.

"It's just a small raid, Gillian doesn't have to worry so much, that kid from the Shen family is invincible, and he has experienced no less than a thousand battles, big and small, so there's nothing to worry about."

Yanmen Pass is in danger, and it is almost all over the palace.

An Guifei knew that Meng Jiao was worried about Shen Yunxiao, but right now, except for saying a few words of consolation, she couldn't do anything, and she couldn't do it.

"I know... But Aunt An, I know that he is very powerful, invincible, and I am worried about him... are two different things. ”

Of course, they are two different things, Shen Yunxiao has never been defeated in battle, but as long as he carries a knife to the battlefield, Meng Jiao will irrepressibly worry about his safety.

There are no eyes on the battlefield, and when you return from the battlefield, anyone can become the victorious general, but at the moment when life and death are uncertain on the battlefield, no one can guarantee that a sentence is foolproof.

"This palace knows that this palace believes that the kid of the Shen family will definitely return triumphantly, but it's a pity, this year's New Year, how many families can't be reunited."

Shen Yunxiao was urgently summoned into the palace by the emperor, and when he arrived at the Linde Palace, many ministers in the court had also received an urgent call, all with sad faces, seeing Shen Yunxiao walk in, almost everyone's eyes seemed to see a savior.

"Minister Shen Yunxiao greets Your Majesty!"

"Shen Qing is exempt, you must already know the news, Qi Yang led 30,000 soldiers to Yanmen City, and Yanmen is in danger."

Shen Yunxiao naturally knew the news, the west of Yanmen was under his jurisdiction, and on weekdays, there were some small barbarian countries that fought a little, and the rest of the big countries did not dare to send troops because of Shen Yunxiao's garrison in Yanmen.

This time, it must have been because he knew that Shen Yunxiao had returned to Beijing to report on his work, and it coincided with the New Year's Festival, so he came up with the idea of a surprise attack on Yanmen.

"I am willing to lead the troops to Yanmen immediately!"

"I know that Shen Qing is loyal and patriotic, but this time the situation is not trivial, in addition to Qi Yang's raid on Yanmen, another well-trained army infiltrated my Dayan, according to the secret report of the spies, this army came straight to my capital."

This is where the emperor is really worried, although Dayan is strong and strong, and the generals who have the ability to shock the battlefield, they are scattered in the southeast, northwest and northwest border passes.

If Shen Yuntong is stationed in the capital, he can indeed ensure that the emperor can sit back and relax, but the military situation outside Yanmen Pass is urgent.

But if Shen Yunxiao goes to Yanmen, there is really no one available in Beijing.

Moreover, there is what the emperor is most worried about, the Nankang Palace.

If Your Majesty is worried about the safety of the capital, the five thousand elites brought back by the minister can stay in the capital to ensure that Your Majesty can rest assured!"

The Shen family's army is brave and good at fighting, and Shen Yunxiao's personal soldiers can fight with one enemy and three, if five thousand elites are left, the army sent by Da Li is not worried.

It's just that the capital is thousands of miles away from Yanmen, and if Shen Yunyu goes alone, there may be variables on the road.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if there are 5,000 elites, it is better to leave 3,000 to ensure the stability of the capital, and the remaining 2,000 to escort Shen Shuai to Yanmen, so it can be regarded as a strategy for both worlds."

"No, Lord Zhao is worried that Shen Shuai's safety is fine, but the army that has been lurking has thousands of people, and the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, if I can't leave enough troops, I'm afraid I can't guarantee Your Majesty's well-being."

Lord Zhao is an old friend of General Shen, so naturally everything depends on Shen Yuntong's safety, but he has an old friend, and others don't.

5,000 elites ensure the stability of the capital, they can stay in the brocade clothes and food, as long as they can save their lives, who will care whether others live or die?

"Your Majesty, please think again! If Shen Shuai can't arrive at Yanmen safely, Yanmen is in danger, and the capital is still precarious! ”

Lord Zhao glared fiercely at the adult who stopped him, but the situation was critical, and he didn't care about arguing with him anymore, so he could only say that His Majesty would think twice, hoping that the emperor could give a foolproof plan.

"Lord Zhao is a little safe, Ben Shuai has traveled back and forth from the capital to Yanmen for more than ten years, I don't know how many times, I think it will be fine."

"Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case! You are the only descendant of the Shen family, if something goes wrong with you, how can we be worthy of the old General Shen who sacrificed his life for the country! ”

When Lord Zhao mentioned Old General Shen, he was already choked up.

When the emperor heard this, he was also stunned for a long time.

Shen Yunxiao is the only root of the Shen family... Shen Family...

"Okay, I have my own decision on this matter, you all go out, Shen Yunxiao, you stay, I have something to say."

The emperor ordered, and Lord Zhao couldn't say anything more even if he had something to say, so he could only follow the rest of the ministers and withdraw from the Lin De Palace.

In the main hall, except for Mu Fu, there are only the emperor and Shen Yunxiao, the monarch and the minister.

After a while, the emperor sighed and spoke slowly.

"Zhao Zhiyuan is right, you are the only descendant of the Shen family, if something goes wrong with you, I am afraid that the old general Shen will not know peace, Mu Fu, you go to the back and take the Great Seal of the Praetorian Guard."

"Your Majesty! You..."

"Needless to say, you go get it."

The emperor wanted to take the seal of the forbidden army, Mu Fu was very surprised, and just opened his mouth, but was stopped by the emperor with a wave of his hand.

Seeing that the emperor had made up his mind, he didn't say anything more, and slowly walked to the apse.

The emperor raised his eyes and looked at Shen Yunxiao, who was standing tall and jade in the main hall, a young man, this is the pillar of Dayan, with him, Dayan can prosper even more.

After a while, Mu Fu walked over with the Great Seal of the Forbidden Army in his hand.

The emperor took the big seal, looked at it carefully for a while, and finally raised his eyes to look at Shen Yunxiao as if he had made up his mind.

"Shen Yunxiao, the Great Seal of the Forbidden Army, you know the importance of it, I will delegate this power to you, I will use the three thousand forbidden troops in the imperial city in exchange for the five thousand elites of your Shen family to garrison the imperial city, do you have any objections?"
