Sheng Lao Guogong didn't say anything, and soon Ni Zhen'er helped her into the house.

"The sun is good outside, so let's go sit outside with my grandfather." Sheng Guogong said with a smile, Sheng Mingzhu nodded, and helped him up with the little guy who had been waiting by Sheng Guogong's side, and several people walked into the courtyard together, the warm sun shining. The little guy quickly moved a rattan chair, and Sheng Mingzhu helped Sheng Lao Guogong to lie down.

The sun is already very good, especially when it is spring and everything is coming back to life.

Sheng Mingzhu sat on a low chair next to Sheng Lao Guogong, talking about the recent popular things in the capital.

"Those situations in the capital, grandfather, I have been looking at it for more than 60 years, what is there not enough to see", Sheng Lao Guogong was still smiling, and looked at Sheng Mingzhu again, "Tell my grandfather about your family's affairs in Bingzhou, how is Bingzhou, how is the customs and customs here in the capital?" ”

Sheng Mingzhu thought for a while and said, "It's not as prosperous as the capital." But in the end, in the place where I grew up, I always feel that there is more human touch in Bingzhou than here, and there are those customs in Bingzhou in the past, I-" Sheng Mingzhu was about to elaborate, but the door was opened, and there was a little eunuch with eyes outside, holding a holy decree in his hand.

Now that Emperor Wei is not there, the cabinet ministers draw up a holy decree, and the prince can only write it under the approval of the prince. Sheng Mingzhu hurriedly got up from the chair and hurriedly knelt down to meet the holy decree. Sheng Lao Guogong got down from the chair slowly, and the little guy next to him supported him, his legs and feet were a little inflexible, and he was about to kneel, when the little eunuch hurriedly walked over.

"The old prince is very old, and His Majesty has said that he has exempted the grandfather of the country from these false courtesies."

The little eunuch's voice was shrill and thin, Sheng Mingzhu raised his head slightly, looked at him and helped his grandfather, and looked at the smile on his face, "Old Guogong, this time the thieves outside the gate are coming, and there is no one in the court to send out a general, this holy decree was approved by His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness after a lot of effort was approved from the elders of the pavilion, just waiting for the old prince to hold 100,000 soldiers and go to the gate to promote my Great Wei Guowei!" ”

To raise the prestige of the Great Wei State, Sheng Mingzhu got up from the ground and looked at the old eunuch again, "The annoying father-in-law entered the palace to tell him, my grandfather has not been well from a serious illness recently, how can he lead the troops to the battle?" "The serious illness is not well and another said, now Wei Ci asked his grandfather to guard the border pass, but he knew that after Wei Ci took the throne, the first thing to deal with was the Shengguo Mansion.

The eldest princess wielded military power, and her grandfather also held military power.

Now that she is letting her grandfather lead the troops to the battle, she can guess one or two if she is not thinking about it. The little eunuch only smiled, and said to Sheng Mingzhu again, "Miss Sheng San, this is not decided by the slave maid, the holy decree has been issued, and the lords of the cabinet will definitely not change it-" looked at the old man Sheng, "The grandfather of the country should be strong and strong, and the slave and maid still remember that when they were young, their parents often told the slave and maid that the heroism of the grandfather on the battlefield was not as good as the remnants of the Great Zhou, but just a few widows." ”

Sheng Lao Guogong coughed, and looked at the little eunuch with a wry smile, "Now that I am old and sick, I can't even lift a knife, how can I go to battle and kill the enemy-" The little eunuch only smiled, "The slave doesn't know anything, but now that the holy decree has been issued, if the old man doesn't want to accept the decree, he also has an idea, His Majesty is now recuperating in Nanshan, and the old man can go there and talk about it." ”

It's no different from protest. Sheng Lao Guogong didn't say anything, only took the holy decree, Sheng Mingzhu helped her grandfather, and only faintly heard him sigh something.

——

Sheng Guogong's dispatch of troops was a foregone conclusion, and Sheng Qian couldn't change it after maneuvering many times.

It's not that he is blocking his father from serving the country, it's just that now in such a chaotic situation, it's okay to win the battle, but if he loses the battle. My father has never been defeated since he joined the army, which not only damages his old man's reputation, but also does not know what kind of chaos these people will make. Moreover, the Great Wei Dynasty was fundamentally injured in the morning in the great war forty years ago, which is also the reason why Emperor Wei has always chosen to be stable with Guanwai for more than ten years.

As Sheng Qian thought, Wei Xi originally wanted to seize the military power of Sheng Guo.

"Now that the crown prince has taken the throne and issued this order, it is to let the king enjoy the benefits of the fisherman", originally the military power of the Sheng family was a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of the later superiors. Now he recommends Sheng Guogong to lead the troops to fight, if he wins, he will naturally lose nothing, if he loses, it will also be the prince's disaster, and he also has the ability to solve a big trouble.

Old Man Sheng accepted the holy decree, but in the end, the old man was already old, and his body was not as good as before. What's more, the prince had long been disgusted with Wei Xi, so he sent his cronie Yao Cheng as a supervisor to accompany the army all the way.

Yao Cheng himself is the prince's person, and Wei Xi recommended Sheng Laoguo Gong as a general to fight, but how could he obey others in everything. The war did not go well from the beginning, and how could it be victorious.

——

Emperor Wei was still recuperating in Nanshan, which was the first time that Sheng Laoguo had been defeated since joining the army.

The people don't remember, not to mention that more than 40 years have passed since the era of the old prince of Sheng. They only knew that Da Wei had suffered a defeat, and he was defeated, and there were people chatting in the streets and alleys every day.

Sheng Laoguo suffered a defeat, although he was recommended by Wei Xi, but he was also ordered by the prince, and now he is arranged by the courtiers every day, and his heart is already very frightened. As soon as he returned to the mansion, he only swallowed a cup of iced tea first, and the anger in Fang Jue's stomach dropped a little.

Concubine Qin looked at the prince worriedly, "Master, but things in the court are not going well today." ”

Saying that, he stepped forward to wipe the water at the corner of his mouth for him, the beauty spoke softly, the anger in the prince's heart was a little gone, and he sat on the chair with a big golden knife, "It's not that the Sheng family is old and immortal, in the past, he only said that he was a victorious general, and he didn't go to the battlefield after holding the military power and eating for decades, but now he knows the truth and falsehood when he tries it, he can hide in the house and pretend to be dead when he loses the battle, but I was bitten to death by these courtiers." ”

The boredom in the prince's heart was more than a little bit.

Concubine Qin was afraid that she would say something wrong again, and she was the same as last time, he sat down well with him, and went to the princess again, only thinking about his words, and observing his expression, and only after a while did he say softly, "Since the master doesn't like this Sheng family, why did he listen to the courtiers and let the old prince go to the battlefield to lead the troops?" is already old, who is better than Yao Cheng? ”

Yao Cheng is a close confidant of the crown prince and her distant cousin.

The crown prince shook his head, "Fei Gu wants her to go, Gu Na's eldest aunt holds the military power in the court, and her father has never passed on the Tiger Fu to Gu, except for the old prince, Gu can't think of anyone else to go." Saying this, the prince slammed his fist on the table in hatred.

Lao Qi is curious and ingenious, and he got involved with his aunt's only daughter Jiang Runyan early, and now he is married to Jiang Runyan, which is like marrying most of the military power behind the eldest princess - a good son born to his father, who sells himself for glory, which is rare in these years.

"Since the old prince has the power of the army, it would be better for the lord to take it back, and now the lord is now supervising the affairs of the court instead of His Majesty, and the old prince will not disobey him-" She said as she observed the prince's expression, for fear that she would say something wrong again. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the prince was stunned.

Qin was nervous in his heart, but when he saw the prince suddenly get up from the chair, he held her face and kissed her, "Good love concubine, why didn't you think of it?" Wei Xi has the soldiers and horses of the eldest aunt behind him, but how can that group of rabble be compared with the lion of the old prince, now that his father is not there, he is alone in charge of the government, and he has issued a holy decree to let him hand over the military power! ”

As he spoke, he rushed out of the door, and Qin watched him walk away, knowing that he had said something wrong, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

——

After Sheng Guogong returned home, he has been sick, and from spring to summer, it has been sunny after continuous rain, and the weather is extremely hot. Emperor Wei has not come back yet, and ordinary people in the court can see it with their eyes. On this day, the prince sent someone to come to the Shengguo Mansion to get back the Sheng family's tiger talisman.

Sheng Mingzhu is also there.

Grandfather's tiger talisman was placed in a yellow nanmu box, and when the prince came, he did not hesitate for a moment, and quickly handed it to him. The little eunuch Xu didn't expect to take down the tiger talisman without any effort, and immediately smiled, "The old man is a cheerful person, since the things have been obtained, our family will stay soon, and we have to rush back to hand over to the master." ”

Old Duke Sheng pointed to the little guy on the side again, "Go and send my father-in-law." ”

The little eunuch walked out, only holding the dust and saying no need, and soon arrived at the door, and there was no one to see.

Sheng Mingzhu sat next to his grandfather, the Nanmu box that originally contained the tiger talisman was empty, he sat there with a faint expression, "Grandfather-" Sheng Lao Guogong patted her hand, "I'm too old to take these things." ”

Sheng Mingzhu wanted to say something, but Jin Zhi came in from outside, and said a little embarrassedly, "Miss, it's getting late." Have you forgotten that today is the banquet of the county lord of Yongning, and you promised to go? ”

Sheng Mingzhu really forgot, she remembered such a stubble after being reminded by Jin Zhi, but she actually received Yongning's post a few days ago, and now it is not good not to go, and looked at her grandfather again, "Grandfather, Mingzhu will accompany you another day." The old man only patted her hand, "I'm still old and strong, I don't need you to take care of me, let's be stubborn." ”

Sheng Mingzhu smiled and soon went out with the golden branch.

It's just that not long after she went out, a column of people wearing the armor of the palace guards entered the Shengguo Mansion.

——

The banquet of the county lord of Yongning naturally invited many dignitaries. After all, she is the eldest daughter of the prince, and even Wei Ci, who is fighting with the prince these days, is like a black-eyed chicken, and he also sent someone to send a pair of pearls from the East China Sea as a congratulatory gift. The queen even came out of the palace and personally supported the scene for her granddaughter.

"Sister Mingzhu, Sister Jiang fainted in the room just now."

Sheng Mingzhu was originally at the table, and was turning her head boredly, when the county lord of Yongning silently walked up to her. Sheng Mingzhu glanced at her and motioned for her to continue, "I've been in the study, and no one has come in, so I've been staying." The imperial doctor said that Sister Jiang, the county lord of Jiang, was pregnant. ”
