Xuan Shao's father looked at him with a face, and sometimes what he did was outrageously naïve, but for his children, he always insisted on his own teachings.

Xuanshao learned to swim when he was five years old, and other people's parents must have been worried and had to stay by their children's side to teach them hand-in-hand. However, the prince finished telling Xuan Shao the trick of swimming in the water, and after demonstrating it himself, he threw the five-year-old Xuan Shao into the river and left him to fend for himself. He himself was leisurely nibbling on watermelons on the shore, ignoring the angry eyes of the onlookers.

Since Xuan Shao was eight years old, the prince took him up to the mountains to hunt and go down to the river to fish. Even when he sneaked into the hinterland of the northern desert, he took Xuanshao with him. Although Shizi rarely preaches, and he doesn't have much patience to teach hand-in-hand, he has taught Xuanshao his own skills.

It can be said that Xuan Shao's ability was obtained by him in practice, not learned in the greenhouse and surrounded by masters like other sons and daughters of other families.

So even if Xuan Shao was still so young, he was able to bring his mother back to the capital from northern Xinjiang safely. From this point of view, the educational method of this prince is still successful. Of course, it was also thanks to him that he gave birth to a smart son, if he was stupid, I am afraid that he would have been played to death a long time ago.

Wang Jing is very talented and works hard enough. But his life experience is still too simplistic. He was born into a civilian family, and he didn't have much nepotism in the army. So it is not easy to survive in the army.

"You should have heard of the Zhenbei General Meng Baohu, right?" Xuan Shao bowed his head and said to Sanniang.

Sanniang nodded: "I've heard that he came from an ordinary background, and he has earned it by himself to have today." For a self-made person like Meng Baohu, Sanniang still respects it in her heart.

"His second son died in a skirmish on the border." Xuan Shao said lightly.

Sanniang raised her spirit when she heard this, she had heard about this matter before, and she heard it from Shen Fengjiao. Shen Fengjiao heard the conversation of Shen Wei's staff. At that time, it was also said that the death of the little general was a bit strange.

And since Xuan Shao mentioned this matter at this time, it must be that there is something really unusual about this matter. For these greasy, Sanniang still wants to hear about it.

Xuan Shao looked at Sanniang in the dark, her eyes suddenly shining, and couldn't help laughing. I couldn't help but hook my fingers and scratch her nose.

"I should have known it a long time ago, you like to hear this."

Sanniang kicked Xuan Shao angrily when she heard this.

Xuan Shao hurriedly hugged her tightly and coaxed: "Ahem, I mean, it doesn't hurt to know more things." ”

said that he didn't wait for Sanniang to make trouble, and quickly turned to the topic: "I have seen Meng Baohu's son before, his kung fu is excellent, and he has learned the art of war well, although he is not as good as his brother, but he is still young after all." What is lacking is just experience. But such a person died in vain in a skirmish. ”

"You mean death in vain?" Sanniang was really diverted and said in surprise.

Although she had this idea, she still felt a little frightened when she really heard it from Xuan Shao's mouth.

A soldier dies on the battlefield, at the hands of the enemy, this is naturally the most normal way to die. In this way, it cannot be called a vain death. Since Xuan Shao said that this Meng Gongzi died in vain, then he must not have died at the hands of the enemy.

Xuan Shao gently patted Sanniang's back and sighed: "At that time, he received a report that a small group of Mongolian soldiers appeared in a village not far away. So he brought the people around him and rushed over. happened to face the Mongol soldiers who were about to return to the camp after plundering, and the two sides inevitably had a fight. However, when the son of the Meng family was concentrating on dealing with a Mongolian officer and soldier in front of him, an arrow came from behind and hit him. Although this arrow is not enough and deadly, when fighting, a little negligence can be fatal. The son of the Meng family was distracted and was cut off half of his head by the other party. ”

Sanniang couldn't help but feel a little chill in her heart when she heard this.

On the battlefield, the arrows shot from behind, she naturally knew what it meant.

"And after that? Didn't anyone find out? Sanniang frowned. On the battlefield in the army, the appearance of such black sheep who prey on their own compatriots and siblings really should be dealt with by military law! Otherwise, it's really chilling.

Xuan Shao shook his head: "It's not easy to investigate, at that time, the Meng family's son was full of people he brought with him, and no one admitted it afterwards, and no one could see who did it." Later, the imperial court sent people to investigate, some of them for meritorious service, and some for personal revenge, they actually bit each other. The entire Zhenbei Army almost became a mess because of this incident. ”

Sanniang sneered: "This is really a big laugh off people's big teeth, tens of thousands of troops were not defeated by the Mongol soldiers, but they were defeated in the internal fighting." ”

Xuan Shao's mood was also very heavy, but he still said with some respect: "Speaking of which, General Meng Baohu, Marquis of Zhenbei, is really a respectable person. Seeing that the scene was uncontrollable, he gathered the whole army, saying that Meng Gongzi's death was due to his own lack of skill, and that he was killed by the other party while fighting with the Mongol general. He also specially wrote to the emperor that before the end of the war in northern Xinjiang, he begged the court not to pursue the tragic death of his son. ”

Sanniang was even more sad in her heart: "If you don't investigate it at that time, what can you find out when the time passes?" This Meng Gongzi really died in vain. It's a pity, looking at his father's personality, this Meng Gongzi must also be a manufacturable material. Xuan Shao said that he is very talented, and with a strict family education, it is not easy for such a person to grow crooked.

Xuan Shao sighed: "I am telling you this just to tell you that even on the battlefield, you can't survive with your ability and identity." Wang Jing still has a lot to learn, if he really wants to take this path, I will let people teach him well. ”

Sanniang hugged Xuan Shao's waist, looked up at him and smiled: "I understand your hard work, brother, he is not a person who doesn't know what to do, and he can also understand that you are for his good." In fact, I also think that with his current experience, he is not mature to go to the battlefield. ”

It would be fine if Wang Jing was really just from an ordinary family, but he was born in the Wang family and had an extraordinary family background, but he had no foundation in the army. Such people are easily envied and bullied.

Wang Jing has gained a lot of experience over the years, and Sanniang can see his growth, but these are far from enough. Sanniang believes that Xuanshao will teach Wang Jing well. At that time, she won't always have to worry about Wang Jing.

Xuan Shao saw that Sanniang's spirit was getting better and better, so he talked to her about the second prince of Mongolia again.

Although Xuan Shao did not say what the emperor had told him before about dealing with the Mongols. But Sanniang has a natural sensitivity to this kind of thing, and she guessed some from some of Xuan Shao's understated descriptions.

"This time the second prince of Mongolia entered Beijing to seek allies, no, he is not qualified enough for allies."

"Coming for backing?" Sanniang blinked.

Xuan Shaozhen didn't know whether marrying a wife who was too smart should be happy or a headache.

It's just that since Sanniang has already asked, Xuanshao didn't hide it, and told Sanniang about the court's plan. Xuan Shao knew that Sanniang was not the kind of woman who didn't know the world and didn't know the importance of the world, she always knew what to say, and what to say could only be the private words of the husband and wife.

So talking to Sanniang, he felt very relaxed. And for so many years, he has always figured out and carried everything by himself, and no one can let him share everything unsuspectingly and without burden. Sanniang's existence made him very surprised in his heart, but he felt that this mood was also very comfortable.

Sanniang listened to Xuan Shao's words and pondered in her heart for a long time: "So, the emperor and the second prince are Lang You's concubines?" Is it almost to pierce that layer of window paper? ”

Xuan Shao: "What kind of nonsense is this?

Xuan Shao was very helpless in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "The emperor doesn't have to be the second prince, if Wu Siqi is not available, then that's it." ”

"Wu Siqi?" Sanniang called the name with great interest, "I've been thinking about the Mongolian language recently, is this name?"

During the time when Xuan Shao left the capital to go to the northern Xinjiang, Sanniang became very interested in Mongolia, so she tried to learn the Mongolian language. It's just that because resources are really scarce, she has no way to learn if she wants to.

But today, Xuanshao gave her a transcript left by the previous son, and after she opened it and read it, she was amazed and laughed for a whole day.

Speaking of this father-in-law who has never met, he is really a talent.

His method of taking notes is different from others, and in addition to his flowing cursive handwriting, there are also some drawings he draws. When Sanniang first saw it, she thought that this prince was wearing it. Because he sometimes narrates, using techniques similar to those of modern comics.

But after looking at it carefully, Sanniang rejected this idea. Shizi's painting style is still very ancient, and there have been no words that frighten her.

It's only possible that the circuits in his brain are different from others, so it's very interesting to remember the notes. She didn't want to put it down when she looked at it, and she had been reading the transcript before Xuan Shao came back.

Also, the booklet contains some Mongolian names and nouns, as well as some strange customs. This prince of the world is very gossipy and gives detailed descriptions, sometimes even putting the cart before the horse.

But it makes people feel that the prince is happy no matter what the situation.

Xuan Shao was a little surprised that Sanniang was studious, but he didn't have anything to say when he knew that Sanniang liked him: "If you want to learn, I can teach you in the future." ”

Sanniang's eyes lit up when she heard this, this is really a good resource, but what she wants to say is not this: "Master, this is what you said." Then tell me, what does the name Wu Siqi mean? ”

Regarding the title of Sanniang, Xuan Shao couldn't cry or laugh: "Wu Siqi means loyalty." ”
