Chapter 240: Coming from the West

After the succession ceremony of the crown prince ended, the power of the imperial court was completely given to the new majesty.

On the same day, the father and son of the Su family were summoned by His Majesty and talked for a long time in the imperial study.

Many officials in the capital thought that His Majesty would immediately promote the father and son to official positions, but they did not expect that after the Su family's father and son returned to the house, there was no will in the palace for a long time, so it was unpredictable what the intentions of the new Majesty were.

Su Mansion, Shen Baiqing's courtyard.

After Su Bowen came back, Shen Baiqing asked about the things in the palace, and Su Bowen answered truthfully.

"Your Majesty called the three of us to go, just to analyze the situation in the capital court together, Your Majesty has just ascended to the throne, naturally there are some things that you can't decide, and there are not many people your Majesty can trust in the court, so you can only discuss with us."

"Then does Your Majesty have a will?"

Su Bowen knew what Shen Baiqing meant, and it stands to reason that after His Majesty ascended the throne, he would reward the Su family no matter what, but now that the will has not been issued for a long time, it will inevitably be unpredictable.

"Your Majesty's mind is not something you and I can speculate, the Su family is a loyal minister, and it is within the scope of doing things for Your Majesty, my father said that the Su family must not discuss these things in the future."

"I see."

Shen Baiqing didn't expect that this new majesty's attitude towards the Su family was a little unpredictable, but this was not something Shen Baiqing was worried about.

Just like Su Bowen said, there are not many people that Your Majesty can trust in the court, which means that Your Majesty believes in the Su family for the time being, and this is enough.

As the saying goes, after a long time, when the days are long, His Majesty will naturally be able to see the good of the Su family, and reusing the Su family is just around the corner.

At night, Shen Baiqing received a message from the grassland khan Zamuhe, saying that there was an abnormal movement on the western border, and he had sent the news to Linzhou City, asking Linzhou City to deal with it carefully.

Shen Baiqing immediately told Su Zhiyuan the news, and Su Zhiyuan's father and son entered the palace overnight to face the saint.

The news that the Su family's father and son entered the palace overnight soon spread throughout the capital, and the next morning, the six officials were also summoned by His Majesty to enter the palace.

General Mu Wu has already led 10,000 troops to the border first, and His Majesty is still arranging the rest of the matter.

Su Mansion, the Wang family was in the courtyard with Tong Qiurong and Shen Baiqing, thinking that the palace might have been in chaos, the Wang family was a little worried.

"I really don't know how long this peaceful day will last."

"Mother, don't worry, the Western Frontier is no match for us, and even if we attack it now, there will be no good fruit to eat."

Shen Baiqing wasn't very worried about this matter, the Western Realm had been defeated once before, could it be that he could win this time?

Hearing this, Wang's face softened a lot, but when he thought that Su Bowen's leg disease had now healed and he could move around freely, Wang was inevitably worried.

"Now that the imperial court is employing people, Bowen is now walking freely, Your Majesty will not let Bowen go to war."

As soon as Wang's words came out, everyone in the courtyard became uneasy, but Shen Baiqing was very calm.

"If Your Majesty really gives your will, our Su family will also do what Your Majesty wants."

Shen Baiqing's words reminded the Wang family that now that His Majesty is very important to the Su family, it is natural that he will reuse the Su family at this time, which is understandable.

The more this time, the more the Su family can't be chaotic.

At noon, the father and son of the Su family returned to the Su Mansion, and Shen Baiqing and others learned the news that His Majesty was going to drive the expedition in person, and Su Bowen and Su Boxing both asked for orders in the court and would follow His Majesty to the border.

In the main hall, Wang couldn't help but sob.

"You say, you two, it's not good to go to one? We have to go both, sir, we have only these two sons, if we ......"

"Enough! No one in the court today is willing to accompany His Majesty, and our Su family is not out, can we still count on that group of officials! ”

Now that His Majesty has just ascended the throne, many officials in the court are watching, especially those old ministers, who do not plan to contribute if they can.

If it weren't for the two sons of the Su family who took the initiative to ask for help today, I am afraid that His Majesty's face would not be able to be saved.

Su Zhiyuan's words made the Wang family silent, indeed, the Su family is the only one who is loyal enough to His Majesty, when the country is in danger, His Majesty feels that the royal family is in charge, so it is impossible for the Su family not to accompany him.

Shen Baiqing looked at Su Zhiyuan and said.

"Father, daughter-in-law will go back to pack up their things, and send someone to the pasture and grassland to say, since it is a battlefield, war horses are indispensable.

The daughter-in-law had ordered someone to hoard a lot of grain and grass collected from other countries in the border city, so she secretly sent someone to the border pass, and General Muwu's daughter-in-law would also order someone to say hello. ”

"Go ahead."

Su Zhiyuan knew that Shen Baiqing must be very supportive of this matter, and Tong Qiurong on the side also said.

"Father, daughter-in-law is to check Su Ji's books to see how many silver taels can be allocated and sent to the treasury."

"Okay."

After Shen Baiqing and Tong Qiurong left, Su Zhiyuan said with emotion.

"Our Su family really married two good daughters-in-law!"

Ordinary women were already panicked when they encountered such a thing, but Shen Baiqing and Tong Qiurong could immediately understand what they needed to do.

Su Bowen and Su Boxing were also silent, they naturally knew that their wife was very good, and they were also proud to have such an excellent wife.

Three days later, His Majesty left the capital with his men and horses and went to the border pass.

Half a month later, His Majesty's men and horses came to the border pass smoothly, and the grain, grass and war horses arranged by Shen Baiqing also arrived at the border pass.

The treasury was empty before, but now it is much better, and the Su family handed over most of the silver money to the treasury at this time, with imperial businessmen like the Su family taking the lead, many imperial businessmen also donated silver money to the treasury, so that this time in a war with the west, the chances of the imperial court can be greater.

The border was fighting, and Su Zhiyuan was in charge of the capital, and many officials knew the actions behind their backs, and the emperor's body was getting better and better, and he gave Su Zhiyuan a lot of support in the open, so that the capital was not in chaos.

Fortunately, the Emperor Taishang is here, which is also the reason why His Majesty dares to drive in person.

On this day, Shen Baiqing received a letter from Su Bowen, saying that the western border did not know when a military advisor who knew how to form was obtained, and General Mu Wu lost the battle, but the news did not reach the imperial court.

Su Bowen hoped that Shen Baiqing could order the intelligence network they had set up to investigate the matter, and it would be best to get the military defense map of the western border.

Shen Baiqing arranged for He Lian to pass on the news to the intelligence network, all of which the Wang family and others did not know.

When Tong Qiurong came to Shen Baiqing's courtyard, he saw Shen Baiqing frowning, and Tong Qiurong was relieved on the side.

"Brother and sister are worried about the second brother?"

"I'm just worried about the war at the border now."

Hearing this, Tong Qiurong was also silent, their husbands were all fighting at the border pass, and now the situation at the border pass is not clear, and I don't know what will happen in the future.
