A big war, according to the statistics of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, the rebels and reinforcements plus the soldiers and horses in Beijing, a total of more than 160,000 people, 160,000, this is the sum of the people of the capital of the Son of Heaven, however, the casualties among the people are only a few, after this war, the soldiers and horses in the capital died seriously, the emperor ordered to mobilize elite soldiers in various states and counties into Beijing, only to make up for the number of dead and wounded soldiers, the number can be adjusted, but those dead souls on the West Mountain, but it is difficult to recover.

After that, many people said that the West Mountain is haunted, if it passes under the mountain at night, you can see the ghost fire, and some people even say that they saw the army wearing soldier armor and lined up, and the emperor who dreamed a lot of dreams built a temple in the West Mountain, and invited the three monks of Lingyin Temple to live in the West Mountain, and chanted the Buddha day and night, so that the fear in the heart was finally dispelled.

And the emperor was even more convinced that the rebels were inexhaustible, and issued many holy decrees in a row to arrest the anti-thieves and rebels, and set up a literary prison, which made the people of Dahe panic all day.

The heavy snow in December has been falling for half a month, although the emperor who has changed his temperament and the sudden strengthening of day and night patrols after the war have made the people panic all day long, but seeing that there is another half a month is the end of the year, many people have also begun to be busy with it, and the streets that have long been covered with snow without blood have finally regained their prosperity and liveliness after a month and a half.

In order to compensate for the casualties and their families, Shen Ke was busy for more than a month, and the emperor took him two days off, so that he could rest at home for two days, and all the things left by the Fuhu army were destroyed by the emperor, and this big battle has now seen no shadow at all, and the death of 160,000 people has not brought much change to Dahe, except for the fact that the treasury has spent a lot of silver.

What is high is still what is high.

Although more than a month has passed, Shen Ke will still remember the words Chen Yin said to himself, and he will also remember the tragedy of that day, the seed of revenge, like a seedling after spring, growing stronger and stronger.

Feeling the sudden weight of his shoulders, Shen Ke lowered his head, just in time to see a dark green carved silk crane and a fair-skinned and delicate jade hand.

When I looked up again, I met those beautiful eyes.

Lu Xiangxue smiled, walked in front of Shen Ke and pulled the crane tightly to cover it. "Husband, what are you looking at? My father sent someone to deliver a letter this morning, asking us to go to Lufu at noon, saying that my mother was in a rare interest and made dumplings by herself, so that we could go and have a good time! ”

Shen Ke pursed his lips and squeezed out a tired smile. "It's rare to have time, it's time to visit your father-in-law and mother-in-law, you prepare a congratulatory gift, and we'll go there when the time comes!"

Seeing Shen Ke's smile, Lu Xiangxue said gently: "If the husband is tired, then don't go, you have been busy for more than a month, and it is not easy to rest and rest, why don't you rest at home!" ”

For more than a month, Shen Ke only slept for two hours a day, let alone eat at home or relax, and at night Shen Ke mostly sat in the study in a daze, frowning, Lu Xiangxue couldn't say how distressed.

"Go, you must go, didn't you say that you love to eat dumplings made by your mother-in-law? Now that my father-in-law is the head of the cabinet, it is rare to be free. Shen Ke smiled and stretched out his hand to wrap around the person in front of him.

"I'm just afraid I'm tired of you! The Fuhu army mutiny, the court is turbulent, everyone is in danger, I heard that a few days ago, Bingzhou arrested a scholar who wrote some anti-poems, how good is this! If you walk around in front of the emperor every day, I'm afraid of ............" Lu Xiangxue's dark and slender eyelashes trembled slightly.

"What are you afraid of...... I just need to do my part well, the emperor is not as terrible as the rumors outside! Shen Ke held the chin of the person in his arms with his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Look at you, you don't cry when the army is attacking the city, what are you crying now! ”

"Husband, ............" Lu Xiangxue's eyes flashed, she bit her lips lightly, lowered her head and hid her body in Shen Ke's broad chest, what was she afraid of, she didn't know it in the past, but now she knows, how can she not be afraid, 160,000 people have not been able to shake the emperor's throne, Shen Ke alone, what can he do...... But she couldn't open her mouth, she didn't know how to persuade her, looking at Shen Ke's face day and night, she couldn't help but think of the blood debt ten years ago and those letters in the study, the hatred had long been integrated into Shen Ke's flesh and blood, and she couldn't break her short-term happiness with her own hands.

Shen Ke hugged his wife in his arms and let out a long breath of turbidity, how could he have a good time in the past month and a half, the corpses of 160,000 soldiers were buried by him, and how did these have anything to do with him.

The goose-feathered snow was just ordinary in the capital, and looking at the snow-covered courtyard wall shrubs, Shen Ke suddenly smiled.

"By the way, I don't know if my father-in-law will invite King Rui and Yiyi this time, now King Rui is walking in the cabinet, I heard that he is also quite angry with his father-in-law, a few days ago King Rui also said in front of the emperor that he wanted to worship his father-in-law as a teacher, maybe our family, we will kiss and kiss!"

Lu Xiangxue, who was hiding in her warm chest, looked dark again, "This is a good thing!" I thought that after the crown prince, several highnesses would be more peaceful, but now it seems that they are still making trouble one by one, husband, although His Royal Highness King Rui is the husband of Yiyi, it can be ............"

"I know, the most unseemly thing for the emperor is that the military general Wenchen and several highnesses are too close, I understand this measure, although the prince is established, but there is still a reversal of the situation if he does not stay in the East Palace for a day, to say something disrespectful, after all, the emperor has not been mourned, as long as the emperor has not been mourned, everything has the hope of being pushed back!" Shen Ke's voice sank, and he felt the person in his arms suddenly tremble, and he hurriedly tore the crane apart and wrapped the person in his arms and tightened it a little.

Lu Xiangxue pulled the corners of her mouth and put her hand in Shen Ke's warmest heart. "Although the crown prince has been canonized, but King Chao is in the Left Army Governor's Mansion, I heard that it is also quite valued by Fan Dongli, as long as he is given time to wait for Fan Dongli to retreat, the commander of the Left Army Governor's Mansion will be him, King Su is now the commander of the former Military Governor's Mansion, plus the Kongran Master who lives in the palace is his master, compared to the original He was constrained everywhere, and now he can be said to be proud of his eyebrows. And what did you get? That is, I have a few stubborn imperial historians to teach the prince every day, that is, the James Mansion, the emperor has not been selected for the prince, and the Marquis of Chang Sheng is now under your command and has been robbed of military power, seeing that the prince is sitting on the throne of the prince, but in fact, it is just a false name! ”

"You can see it thoroughly, but since the prince has confirmed the position of the prince, as long as he waits until the beginning of spring to go to the Taimiao Temple to worship and live in the East Palace, he will be able to come out, and the prince will be canonized, and it will be difficult to abolish it." Shen Ke let out a long sigh and tilted his head to the head in his arms.

Lu Xiangxue straightened her neck, tilted her head and raised her eyelids to glance at Shen Ke. "In the final analysis, that is, the emperor is in the prime of life, and he is suspicious by nature, so he will be more weak to the prince, for fear of cultivating someone to compete with him! If it weren't for such a big change this time, where would His Highness be able to sit on the throne of the crown prince now. ”

"It is said that my father-in-law is wise and unparalleled in the world, and I think that his daughter, is also a female Zhuge among women!"

Shen Ke's doting praise made Lu Xiangxue smile shyly again, and snorted a few times coquettishly.

"Speaking of which, Yiyi can settle his mind through this incident, and it is also a blessing in disguise! At present, Rui Wang's body is getting better and better day by day, and after this experience of sharing hardships and hardships, the relationship will inevitably get better and better in the future! ”

"You also said that last time someone sent a few dancing girls to King Rui and you found out, you immediately called King Rui to scold him, making King Rui disgraced and embarrassed, husband, you are just a brother, His Royal Highness King Rui is the king and you are a minister, some things are just mentioned, don't be so ............"

"Humph! It's only been long since I married Yiyi, and I actually accepted a concubine, if it weren't for the fact that he was King Rui, where would I be so polite to him! ”

"Alright, alright! The husband is polite to His Royal Highness King Rui, very polite, very polite! Looking at Shen Ke's angry face, Lu Xiangxue couldn't help but think of the situation that day and laughed: "Although I accepted that little concubine called Qinglan, didn't I see him snub Yiyi!" Last time I went to King Rui's Mansion, I saw that Yiyi deliberately snubbed His Royal Highness King Rui, which is not good, and the relationship between husband and wife still depends on management. Hey, not everyone is like you! Look at those highnesses, there are not a few people around to fill the house now, but the princess is undecided! ”

"The emperor has now asked the cabinet and the imperial history to nominate the princess, saying that he plans to wait until the beginning of spring next year, and at the latest in the summer of next year, and then handle the marriage of the prince and the two royal highnesses! This time, you can also inquire with your father-in-law to see whose young ladies have fallen into these old stubborn eyes that are picky in eggs! ”

Looking at each other, Shen Ke smiled and hugged the person in his arms.
