Chapter 37: Returning Home
"Huh."
Empress Yang sneered, "You are also embarrassed to say military salary, how much military salary can you afford?" When Shen Qingtai first started with you, you didn't pay a penny of military salary, so didn't they also lead troops? As if he thought he was rich. ”
Emperor Hongzhao was ridiculed by the empress, stared at her angrily, pointed at her, and said helplessly: "You, you, you...... You are because he is the same countryman as you, so you are favored. ”
"Whether I have a favor or not, you know in your heart."
"You're not biased, what are you doing here with me? Did Tan ask you to come? ”
The two of you said a word, and the atmosphere changed unconsciously, and the high Jinluan Hall was regarded as an ordinary one-third of an acre of land at home.
"Qiaofang doesn't agree with Shen Qingtai's intercession for those who can't succeed, I just sigh that people like Shen Qingtai can be reported, it can be seen that there is no cost to report, just climb the founding heroes, you don't have any prestige in the court." Empress Yang was tired of speaking, and motioned for the prince to get up and make her tea.
The prince was also tired of kneeling, so he got prompted by his mother to quickly get up and make tea for the second elder.
Emperor Hongzhao had actually thought of this early on, but he felt that it was an opportunity and didn't want to let it go.
After all, Shen Qingtai has 800,000 people, which is too many.
"Poor Shen Qingtai is not like others, he has many sons and daughters, and his in-laws have extraordinary identities, and now that something has happened, I have to say two fair words for my fellow countryman."
Emperor Hongzhao, who was drinking tea, was stunned on the spot when he heard this, his head was buzzing, why didn't he think of this layer just now!
The princes of the court, Wu Guogong and Qin Guogong are in-laws, Qi Guogong and Lu Guogong are relatives of the emperor, and the remaining relatives of Zheng Guogong and Yu Guogong are also founding merits, but Shen Qingtai, the marquis, has nothing to do with anyone else.
He has only one son and one daughter, and he has not yet grown up, and his wife and mother are all dead......
Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhao began to feel sorry for Shen Qingtai, "Shen Qingtai treats his subordinates really well, I don't believe that he took the credit of his subordinates, and as for deducting military salaries, it is even more impossible." ”
"He knelt for his subordinates for several days, and those people who had no conscience even wanted to pull him off the horse, which was really chilling, just send him back to his house, if he didn't want to tie him back, he would also kidnap me, it would be an eyesore."
His voice fell, and Empress Yang showed a little smile on her face, "The emperor let Shen Qingtai go back and no longer check?" ”
"I don't know him yet? No need to check. Emperor Hongzhao knew that Empress Yang was teasing him, and he glanced at Empress Yang to express his dissatisfaction, "I am for the sake of him as your fellow countryman, and next time he is so stubborn, I will ask for you." ”
"Although he is my fellow countryman, I am the queen of the entire Great Wei, Your Majesty, you don't check those who report it?"
"It's to be reprimanded." Emperor Hongzhao said and picked up a notebook, and glanced at the queen who was sitting still, "Is Yue'er's nightmare healed?" It's raining, and you're not going to accompany him? ”
This is to drive people, Queen Yang couldn't help but laugh, and got up very obediently, "Yes, the concubine retired." ”
"Hmm." Emperor Hongzhao breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Empress Yang would have to support Shen Qingtai and investigate those who reported it.
Shen Qingtai's subordinates reported Shangguan, which showed that the Shen family army was not very united, and it was not monolithic, but it was also something he was happy to see.
How could Empress Yang not know about his little Jiujiu, but she just didn't break it down.
Coming out of the Xuanzheng Palace, the Tan family had already knelt in front of the hall with Shen Qingtai, Gao Shuliu took an oil-paper umbrella, but he didn't let her hold it, and knelt very respectfully in the rain.
"You, duplicity." The queen personally helped Tan up, took her hand and patted her, "Go back, if Xixi wakes up, she will go back to her hometown to worship her ancestors first, and I will talk about it later." ”
Empress Yang's voice fell, and Marquis Zhongwu brought someone over, "General Shen, the emperor asked me to drive you out of the palace, I offended." ”
After saying that, Zhongwu Hou made a gesture of action, and seven or eight imperial forest soldiers surrounded him, carrying Shen Qingtai and walking out.
Although the three words 'drive out of the palace' are not very good, for the Shen family at this time, it is no less than getting gold, silver and jewelry, the Tan family immediately cried with joy, knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you concubine, thank you to the emperor, thank you Niangniang." ”
"Let's go back." Empress Yang said with a smile.
In the Xinyong Marquis Mansion, Zhou's mother ordered the kitchen to set up the meal according to the hour, and because Xiyue was sick, the meal was placed in her Biluozhai.
As soon as the food was served, Xiyue stopped and said, "Set up the main courtyard, and my father and mother will return to the house soon." ”
Zhou's mother was stunned, she didn't know whether to believe this.
Believe it, it's incredible.
If you don't believe it, it's too bad for the girl.
"Childe ......" Zhou's mother looked at Shen Xinan for help.
Shen Xinan held the book and talked about it, covering up the anxiety in his heart by reading a book, and he didn't care where to eat, "Listen to my sister." ”
Zhou's mother was helpless and wanted to persuade her, for example, the girl's body was weak and she should not move Yunyun.
However, before the words could be spoken, Cuihuan hurriedly ran over, "Childe, girl!" Exultation! Master Hou and Mrs. are back! ”
When Shen Xinan heard this, he immediately put down the book, rushed to Xiyue's bed excitedly, reached out and pinched her face, and said happily in his eyes: "Sister, you are really like a god!" Brother admires you a little bit now. ”
Mother Zhou didn't hear what Xiyue said to Yanhe, and she didn't know why Shen Xinan said this, but Shen Qingtai and Tan's return to the house was indeed a great joy, and she was happy to forget Xiyue's abnormality.
"Quick, go to the main courtyard to set up dinner!" She excitedly ordered, "I'll go and cook two more specialty dishes for Mrs. and Master Hou." ”
Xi Yue and Shen Xinan looked at each other and smiled when they heard this, Xi Yue took away her brother's claws and glared at him very dissatisfied.
The warm scene of the brother and sister happened to be seen by Shen Qingtai and Tan who entered the house, and the two also looked at each other and smiled, and their daughter woke up!
Today is really a double happiness.
"Dad, mother!" Xiyue raised her hand happily.
"When did you wake up? I didn't call anyone to tell me. Tan said complaining words in his mouth, but his face was full of smiles, and tears rolled in his eyes.
Shen Qingtai was a lot haggard, he had lost a whole circle, he was already skinny, but at the moment he didn't look as full as dry firewood.
"It's good to be awake, it's good to be awake." He also said happily.
Tan wiped away his tears, touched his son's head, and scratched his daughter's little nose, "In a few days, we will go back to our hometown to worship our ancestors." ”
Shen Qingtai did not object, after this incident, the matter of going south to quell the chaos will definitely not be under his control, it is better to go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and his ears will be clean.
It's just that he wanted to be clean, but others didn't give it, and the wet clothes on his body were changed, and before he could drink a bowl of ginger soup, the porter came to report: "Master Hou, Zheng Guogong is here." ”
"What is he here for?" Tan, who was tidying up his clothes, asked suspiciously.
Shen Qingtai sighed, "Although he has also made great achievements, it is much less than that of other princes, I think he wants to take command of the south to quell the chaos, how can the others let him get his wish?" He came to me to discuss what to do. ”
"Why are you looking for you? Shouldn't he be looking for Master Joe? Tan frowned.
Zheng Guogong is Qiao Shen's person, and Qiao Shen's person and Fang Maokang's person are fighting in the ring, so they will come to the door at this time......
