Chapter 529: Far Away
Shen Shu took the fold that Shi Ke handed over with some curiosity, looked at it fixedly, and instantly gasped.
"The minister is the emperor's companion, for the emperor to sort out the books and chapters every day, and now the emperor has ascended the throne, and the sages on his side are prosperous, and the ministers know that they are not enough to learn, and there is no place to use. The minister knows that the emperor's grace is vast, and the emperor wants to value love and righteousness, and will not treat the minister badly, but he does not want to accept charity in despair, and only wants to repay the emperor's grace with his own strength...... General He Yan, the general of Beiguan, was transferred to the capital, and the Beiguan army was vacant ......"
Shen Shu looked at Shi Ke deeply, and saw that his face was full of seriousness and firmness.
- "Therefore, the minister asked himself to lead the troops to pessimism and defend the national defense. ”
Shi Ke actually wanted to give up the official position of Zhengyi Dispatch Literature and History given to him by Shen Mi, and wanted to go to a difficult place like Beiguan to defend the city defense?
No wonder Shen Mi became angry when he saw this fold and refused immediately, even if Shen Shu saw it, he felt that this matter was absolutely inappropriate, not to mention Shen Mi, who was like a brother and sister to him?
"Ziyu Gongzi...... What's the pain? Compared to Shen Mi, Shen Shu was quite calm, he gently closed the fold, and looked at Shi Ke in front of him puzzled.
The three sons of the Hou family, just one of him is the son-in-law from the big house, but he is the only son-in-law, he doesn't inherit the family business well, so he has to go outside, or the border area where birds don't, are the people of the Hou Mansion willing to let him go......
Besides, although Shi Ke has some kung fu, he has never participated in the war, he has always appeared in front of the public as a scholar, and he suddenly has to run over to the battlefield, which must be for a reason.
Shi Ke knelt in the center, he thought lightly, stretched out his hand and unconsciously touched his heart, and replied, "Because where...... It is a place that the minister has never forgotten. “
As soon as he said this, Shen Mi's heart immediately understood.
It turned out that after so many years, Shi Ke had never forgotten the fifth princess Shen Wan.
When the fifth princess got married, Shi Ke didn't seem to have any other emotions from beginning to end, so calm and as always. However, the real heartbreak is often buried in the bottom of their hearts, and they still think that Shi Ke is really as heartbroken as usual.
Now that I think about it, Shen Mi, who naively thought that he had nothing to do and didn't talk to him much, only felt that he was selfish and hateful.
Beiguan is the city pass at the junction of Dongwu and Yuguo, once there is any intersection between the two countries, they will pass through here if nothing else, Shi Ke does not choose other places, but chooses this Beiguan, what is he thinking in his heart, isn't it obvious enough?
"I'm not sure!" Shen Mi said, "Ziyu, the past has passed, why do you want to go over and stick to your memories!?" Isn't it good for you to stay in the capital, guard your parents and your younger sister, and live in peace! You don't think life is boring, you have to have some fun for yourself, right? ”
Shi Ke didn't blame Shen Mi for saying something too ugly, but smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, the minister has made up his mind." As for the father and mother, they ...... I believe that I will not fail to understand the minister's ...... They never force us to do anything. ”
"Yes...... Wan'er, she has become the queen of Dongwu, she is now loved by the people, and she has a daughter and a son under her knees......" Shen Mi sighed slightly, "Ziyu, you have never been such an irrational person!" ”
"Previously, it was because His Majesty needed the help of his ministers! The minister cannot, and there is no reason to shirk, leave the capital and go to Beiguan. And now that the overall situation has been decided, and the result is satisfactory enough, there is no reason for the minister to stay here......" Shi Ke stroked his chest, said softly, and suddenly smiled slightly, "And...... It's not that the minister wants to fight for anything more, it's just ...... The fifth princess and her women are still doing their part for our Yu country, and the ministers ...... I also want to do my best to protect the country she is guarding......"
"You!" Shen was stunned, not knowing what to say about him.
Shen Shu on the side also shook his head slightly, but he had no position to persuade on this matter, so he could only choose to remain silent
Shi Ke kept kneeling in the distance, refusing to get up at all, which shows how resolute his attitude is. The two were in a stalemate for a long time, and in the end, it was Shen Mi who was defeated first, and he let out a long sigh, "Alas...... Well, I've never quarreled with you, and now that you've made up your mind...... Even if I force you here, you won't be willing. ”
Shi Ke nodded, listening to Shen Shu's meaning, knowing that he had already agreed, he smiled slightly, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
Shen Mi glared at him, and reluctantly picked up a pen and paper to prepare to write the holy decree to send Shi Ke to Beiguan, and said: "Let's talk about it first, Ziyu, you must make this matter clear to Prime Minister Shi Cheng and Qian'er, and say it well!" Girl, girl...... Can you bear to let you run that far? ”
"This ......" As soon as Shi Qingqian was mentioned, Shi Ke couldn't be sure, "Or ...... First of all, please ask the emperor to decree it. ”
"Hmph, you want to use me as a shield?" Shen Mi shook his head helplessly.
Sure enough, when this holy decree came directly to the family, the eldest lady, Shi Yuan, and Shi Qingqian exploded immediately.
Shi Ke didn't tell them about this matter in advance, he went directly to Shen Mi, and at the beginning, he decided to cut it first and then play, and now that the holy decree has come out, even if Shi Yuan and they are unwilling, there is no way.
"Brother! Are you ...... For the five princesses? "Shi Qingqi is Shi Qingqian, and I can see Shi Ke's thoughts at a glance.
Without waiting for Shi Ke to speak, Shi Yuan sighed first, "It's okay!" It's also a good thing to go to the army to experience the experience......"
'No way!' The eldest lady didn't think about it and directly shook her hand and refused, "Absolutely impossible!" How did Ke'er endure that barren place! If you are gone...... Mother, how can I be good......"
Shi Ke also knew that his parents were here, not far away, some people were forced to travel far away, but they didn't want to come back all the time, and he could obviously stay in the capital to enjoy the blessings, but he chose to go to Beiguan, and anyone who thought would think that he was not in a good position.
He gently hugged the eldest lady's shoulder, his face full of self-blame, and said, "Mother...... Over the years, the child has been depressed to the point of going crazy...... Let the children go, and after they go, they won't think about it all the time......"
