"Huh? What's up? ”

Shen Xinan was stunned, his mind was blank now, and he felt that his sister's thinking was jumping too fast, and he couldn't keep up.

"The matter of the talisman!" Xiyue deliberately said in an emphatic tone, "Don't tell me you forgot." ”

"Nope!" Shen Xinan remembered it all of a sudden, waved his hand and shook his head, "I definitely haven't forgotten, but I think it should be placed in the study, and my father's study is guarded ......."

Shen Xinan had a bitter face, and under his sister's serious expression, his voice became weaker and weaker, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I thought you were joking......"

"Clear the platform!"

"Clear the platform!"

A deep voice interrupted the conversation between the brother and sister, and the two immediately fell silent and listened again against the door.

"What are you doing here! Aren't you going to abandon your wretched wife! You who have suffered a thousand cuts, why don't you die outside! Woo woo woo woo ......" When Zhang Zhongshi saw her husband, she immediately howled, wiping her tears and complaining, "Since you want to cut off my life!" Then don't think about it! ”

Zhang Shunquan, the elderly Marquis of Zhiyuan, was accused by his wife, and he cried in front of his colleagues regardless of decency, he felt extremely embarrassed, and his old face turned red.

"Shut up!" He glared at his wife, and then bowed his hand to Shen Qingtai and the Tan family to apologize: "Brother, I can't stand you, I'll take this crazy woman back, there will never be such a thing like today in the future, and I ask Qingtai brother and sister to forgive me, and ......."

He was a little embarrassed, paused for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Please also ask Qingtai and his younger siblings not to mention it in front of the emperor and Niangniang." ”

Shen Qingtai and Tan glanced at each other, but the two did not answer.

Zhiyuan Hou is obviously hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and he will not really care about his wife's mother's family, the reason why Zhang Zhong's family is so fierce must be that he wants to give the Zhong family a warning.

Now Zhang Zhong's doesn't understand him, and he makes trouble in front of the Tan family, and the Tan family is Queen Yang's henchman, which is equivalent to making trouble in front of the queen.

The Zhong family had a murder case, and if they went to the palace, they would not be able to get good fruits to eat, and Empress Yang would not forgive the Zhong family because he was the founder of the country.

"This ......"

Shen Qingtai was silent, he didn't say anything.

First of all, Zhang Shunquan is his old boss, and he can hand over his back to each other's comrades-in-arms on the battlefield, so it stands to reason that he should help.

But to help is to shield murderers......

Seeing that her husband was speechless, Tan was silent for a long time.

Zhang Shunquan stared at her nervously, his eyes full of pleading and expectation.

Xiyue and her brother also glanced at each other, and Shen Xinan sighed, "It's only natural to kill people to pay off debts and pay back, why hasn't my father refused?" ”

"Brother, not everything in this world is black and white, General Zhang is a person who is more close to our family, my father is not easy to refuse, that Zhang Zhong is so capable of making trouble, if she doesn't save her mother's family, I'm afraid General Zhang will be sad in the future."

The words fell, and Tan's voice sounded.

"Elder Zhang, please forgive me, although my sister-in-law didn't make it clear, but I also know a little bit of the truth, human life is a major matter, how can Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, not know? How can I deceive the Son of Heaven? ”

Tan's words were said after consideration, and after she finished speaking, her face couldn't bear it, General Zhang had been marching for more than 20 years, and his temples had already turned white, and now that something like this happened, his expression could be said to be extremely haggard.

After hearing Tan's words, his obviously old face seemed to be ten years old at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the whole person was shaky.

"What do you mean?" It took Zhang Zhongshi a long time to react.

Her husband begged Shen Qingtai and his wife not to poke this matter out, but Tan didn't agree?!

Why not?

Immediately, her anger immediately shifted to Tan, she rolled up her sleeves and asked Tan, "Fang Qiao, what do you mean?" I'm going to the emperor to sue me? ”

Tan had already thought that Zhang Zhongshi would definitely point the finger at her, because after listening to her questioning, his expression remained unchanged and he had a statement.

But before she could speak, Shen Qingtai pulled her behind her, and said with a face as heavy as frost: "Elder Zhang, you are also a person who has been through ups and downs for decades, and you have finally survived to this position, brother, please cherish your feathers." ”

Shen Qingtai's words deliberately bit very hard, "In history, how many feats of pride and complacency and allowing relatives to do evil have a good end?" You helped once today, what about next time? One life today, two tomorrow, how many lives can your Danshu iron coupon protect?! ”

Zhang Shunquan didn't speak, he was silent, silent for a long time, until he was sure that Shen Qingtai and the Tan family really wouldn't help, then he took his wife's hand and said sharply: "Go!" ”

"I'm not leaving, what kind of dog was he Shen Qingtai before? Isn't it because you were promoted that you have your current merits? Now that he is glorious, he doesn't miss the old love, and he turns his face! He ......"

"Shut up!" Zhang Shunquan scolded angrily, "How long are you going to make trouble!" Trouble to the Zhong family's ruin?! ”

After all, he is an old general who has fought for decades, although he is old, his momentum is still there, and Zhong Zhang's was so frightened by him that he immediately silenced, and only glared at Shen Qingtai and Tan with his eyes.

Xiyue listened outside the door for a long time, and only then did she push in when she heard Zhang Shunquan's footsteps getting farther and farther away.

"Elder Zhang will understand." Shen Qingtai glanced at a pair of children who walked in, and then comforted his wife softly.

Tan smiled and shook her head, she was doing things by the queen's side, almost every day someone begged her to do things, she had already learned to refuse, and there was no psychological burden after refusing.

"Dad, will Your Majesty be angry with the Zhang family because of your aunt's maiden family?" Xiyue raised her eyes and asked with curiosity on her face.

She actually understands very well that Emperor Hongzhao will count the things done by his courtiers' relatives, students, and subordinates on the heads of his courtiers, and this question is just to remind her father.

Shen Qingtai was stunned when he heard this, did his daughter understand?

When did she become so sensible?

"That maybe, if Tiance's cousin bullies your sister, I will definitely not be friends with Tiance." Shen Xinan raised his voice and grinned again, "But don't worry, sister, my brother will never let people bully you, whoever bullies you, I will bully his whole family!" ”

Xiyue was amused by her brother's words, and teased: "Brother, you brag, I heard that the general's military power will be returned to the imperial court, and you will not be able to inherit your father's military talisman at that time, how can you help me?" It's better to be like this, if you work hard and practice martial arts, you may be able to beat others. ”

The child's words were no longer naïve, like a lightning strike, hitting Shen Qingtai's heart.

After the founding of the country, what Your Majesty needs is a general who abides by his duty, is low-key and introverted and can fight well, rather than causing trouble every day.

Since ancient times, the first thing many emperors did after the founding of the country was to dilute the military power in the hands of their generals......

Thinking of this, Shen Qingtai was in a cold sweat on his back, but he was still reluctant to hand over the military power.

"Xixi." He squatted down, held his daughter's arms, and asked seriously, word by word: "Tell Daddy, who told you these words." ”

"When I went out shopping with my brother, I overheard it, what's wrong Daddy?" Xiyue lied casually, anyway, she is still young now, even if Shen Qingtai goes to investigate, she can't find out.

What's more, he didn't dare to check this kind of thing at all.

Is it the emperor's words?

Shen Qingtai didn't suspect his daughter, he suspected that the increasingly suspicious Emperor Hongzhao was knocking on the side.

It was a guess that would never be answered, but for some reason, he felt that the emperor was reminding him.

Xiyue saw that her father heard it in her heart, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Emperor Hongzhao put aside the matter of killing heroes, he was really a good emperor, and in the vast history, there were no more than ten good emperors who could be as famous as him.

As long as the military power is handed over, the family does not commit crimes, and does not take bribes, the family will definitely be able to live as long as the dynasty.
