Her personality has always been stoic, and she probably said this in front of him when she was wronged to a certain level.

As if she didn't want him to see her expression, after she finished speaking, she lowered her head and bypassed him: "It's late at night, it's not appropriate for adults to stay in my boudoir, I'll go and ask Liuniang to make your bed." Suddenly remembered one thing again, paused and asked, "I wonder when the adults learned that they had entered Beijing?" ”

When she asked this, she turned her back to him and didn't look back.

Shen Hanxi looked at the back of her head and said, "I've asked people to find an excuse to stop her, and I can probably contain it for a few days." ”

Her shoulders relaxed: "Thank you, then, sir." ”

He walked behind her, and his voice was a little deep: "The Mo family already knows that you are in Ling'an, you can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime." ”

"If it's Shaoyuan, I have my own way of coping with it."

She continued to walk, and before she could reach the door, a pair of hands grabbed her waist from behind.

Shen Hanxi's voice sounded in her ears: "Who arranged for you to come to Ling'an City, and what is the purpose of him letting you come?" Wang Zhuo and you are not all the way, he is loyal to someone else, and you are protecting someone else. Who is this person? ”

Song Ran's heart lifted, and without waiting for an answer, he turned to him.

He looked down at her, and although his tone was cold, his eyes were full of compromise: "No matter who he is, this official is willing to take a step back with him." ”

"Take a step back?"

He raised his finger, landed on her eyebrows, and gently traced along the contours of her facial features: "This official takes a step back, and the previous things are no longer with him." He took a step back and stopped bothering his own officials in the future. Do you think it's fair? ”

Song Ran breathed slightly for his words, but immediately calmed down, did he want to take the opportunity to test her, or did he want to ...... Continue to take advantage of her?

From beginning to end, not even for a moment, she never looked through him.

The person who gently hugged her in his arms one moment, the next moment, ruthlessly let people torture her.

And how could she trust him again?

The cold smile that unconsciously appeared from her lips slightly stinged Shen Hanxi's eyes.

For the first time in his life, he realized what it meant to be on the wrong foot.

He lowered his head and said, "Shaowei, start over with me." ”

The tone of this sentence is not asking for her opinion, but it is less domineering than before.

She didn't dare to nod easily, but she was attached to the person in front of her, and for a while, neither advance nor retreat. Before I knew it, there was a circle of red around my eyes.

Shen Hanxi saw her hesitating, only to feel that her heart at this time seemed to be placed on a frying pan, and there was a small fire under it slowly roasting. He finally couldn't bear the torment anymore, and lowered his head to kiss her, but was suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door.

He stopped at her lips, a touch of annoyance crossed his face, and Song Ran took the opportunity to bypass him and go to open the door.

Xia Xiaoqiu stood outside the door, glanced at Shen Hanxi who was following her, and said, "My lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites you to go to the East Palace to discuss matters." ”

His face was not good: "Don't look at it, what time it is at this time." ”

Xia Xiaoqiu knew that he had disturbed them, but the matter was urgent, so he had to report: "It's a major incident of the military aircraft." ”

Hindering Song Ran being here, Xia Xiaoqiu was inconvenient to say more, Shen Hanxi judged the seriousness of the matter from his serious expression, glanced at Song Ran, and ordered Xia Xiaoqiu: "Turn around." ”

Xia Xiaoqiu turned around inexplicably: "What did the lord do when he turned around?" ”

Shen Hanxi didn't answer, stepped forward and pinched Song Ran's chin, imprinted the kiss on her lips that Shi Cai didn't succeed, and then left casually, and said to Xia Xiaoqiu: "It's nothing, let's go." ”

Song Ran only felt that her lips were hot, as if she had been burned by a hot iron, she stood there, looking at his departing back, and did not come back to her senses for a long time.

As soon as Shen Hanxi was discharged from the hospital, he asked Xia Xiaoqiu: "Let's talk about it, what is the big thing about the military aircraft." ”

"The northern Tatars marched southward, killing and plundering people and livestock all the way, plundering gold and silver treasures, and directly taking Xuanzhou, which was lost in the early hours of this morning due to incomplete weapons and lack of military rations, and according to the war report received an hour ago, several states were lost one after another."

Shen Hanxi sneered: "Tatar has always wanted to exchange markets with me in Dajing, and now he is using troops against me in Dajing, what do you want to do?" ”

Sitting in the carriage, he stroked his fingers, his eyes slowly swallowed by ink, and gradually slipped into the unfathomable darkness. The crown prince has not yet ascended the throne, and the mess within the court has not been sorted out, and now he has encountered such an external trouble, but it is really full of disasters.

However, it is also a good opportunity.

In the Wenhua Palace, several important ministers of the cabinet are expressing their opinions, and a huge sand table is placed on the main hall, on which are built with high mountains, hills, cities, etc., which is a miniature map of the entire Dajing. On the sand table, there are already palace people who have placed red flags on the city attacked by the Tatars, and you can see the route of the Tatar soldiers to the south at a glance.

A young man was propped up on the edge of the sand table with his hands on the edge, staring heavily at the places where the flags were planted. The prince had a wide robe and wide sleeves, standing on the side, and the expression on his face was quite solemn.

"These Tartars must have seen that my Dajing was slow to agree to their request for mutual markets, and wanted to force me to compromise with war. In recent years, China's finances in Dajing have been tight, floods have been raging in the south one after another, tens of millions of taels have been spent on disaster relief, and military spending has been reduced year after year. ”

"When people bully them to the house, do they let him slaughter them? Still want to trade with each other? They don't even think about it! ”

"Open up a few places to allow them to trade with each other, so that both sides can benefit and can ensure the stability of the border, why not?"

"The dignified Celestial Empire, exchanging markets with border ministers, not to mention the weight of the country, coupled with this Tatar cunning and cunning, if I do my best to exchange financial resources with him, but he uses the mutual market to ambush the army, how will I deal with the aftermath?"

The cabinet officials quarreled over whether to exchange markets, but the prince only paid attention to the young man staring at the sand table. I saw the palace man on his side pick up a flag and plant it on the edge of a city in the sand table.

"The next target of Tatar should be Tongzhou."

As soon as his words landed, the hall was immediately silent.

Soon, some old ministers questioned: "However, at this time, looking at the route of Tatar, it is heading towards Yaozhou." ”

"Tongzhou is an important place connecting the north and the south, and there is the imperial tomb of Taizu, if the Tatars occupy this place, not to mention the benefits they can plunder, they can also hit the prestige of my Dajing. What's more, Yaozhou is garrisoned by the Qin family's iron guards, and attacking Yaozhou is tantamount to looking for death. If it is changed to this king, he will definitely feint to attack Yaozhou and take Tongzhou. ”

The young man who spoke was King Chengwu, he had been guarding the north for many years, and he knew better than anyone else about the situation in the north, he was not in the army, but he was afraid that it would also give the Tatars courage to raise troops to the south this time.

Therefore, although the crown prince was afraid of King Chengwu and was afraid that he was in the camp of the second prince, he still sent someone to invite him to analyze the situation for himself.

His words persuaded almost everyone here, and the prince's expression became more and more solemn, and before he could speak, he heard a voice coming from behind him: "I don't know what the prince can do to solve the predicament of Tongzhou?" ”

Everyone looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw who it was, and immediately some people were dissatisfied: "Lord Shen assists the prince in supervising the country, but when he encounters such a major event, he is still late, I don't know what he is busy with?" ”

Someone scoffed: "I'm busy checking the rebels." ”

Today, Long Pan led people to send all those who had secret correspondence with Wang Zhuo to the edict, which caused a lot of turmoil in the court.

Shen Hanxi's eyes swept to the person who spoke: "Master Li will say it directly if he has something to say, what's the point of being sarcastic?" Don't you just want to say that this official is now in power, those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will die? Even if that were the case, why would you bear with me? ”

These words were extremely arrogant, and the corners of the prince's forehead couldn't help but jump, and those cabinet ministers dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Shen Hanxi put down those words lightly, and turned to King Chengwu casually, waiting for him to answer the question of the right talent.

King Chengwu leaned on the edge of the sand table with his arms crossed, looking a little hanging: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lets this king go to the front line to lead the troops, this king has nothing else to say, just ......" He squinted at the prince, and there was some provocation, "Does Your Highness dare?" ”

The meaning of his words is very clear. He has countless military exploits, and the saint has long been a little jealous of him and wants to release his military power, but now, if he hands over the military power to him again, it will only magnify his prestige even more and threaten the imperial power.

Seeing that the prince's eyes were dark, the corners of his lips hooked, and said, "Your Highness is afraid that this king is not easy to control, and this king is also afraid that he will be able to overshadow the master." ”

He picked out his words very clearly, and all the ministers present also had their own thoughts, and the prince was about to speak, when Shen Hanxi suddenly said: "In this case, the minister will recommend a person to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The crown prince frowned and asked, "I don't know who Lord Shen wants to recommend?" ”

Shen Hanxi opened his mouth lightly and said, "Cui Yu." ”

When the prince heard the word Cui Yu, he couldn't help but be shocked.

This person is exactly the person he wants to mention. At present, this person is only a low-level general, but he is very optimistic about a descendant, he knows this person's character very well, and he is very aware of his loyalty to himself.

In the shock of the prince, Shen Hanxi said again: "However, this person is still young and has no experience in leading troops, so I am afraid that you will not be convinced." ”

Immediately, a minister said: "The old man has never heard of this person, Lord Shen, this is related to the safety of hundreds of thousands of people and the stability of Dajing, you can't promote this person willfully just because he likes your eyes!" ”

Although he knew that Shen Hanxi was used to being willful, and his words were in vain, he still tried his best to express his doubts.

The prince couldn't help but say: "This palace has seen Cui Yu's performance in the tiger camp, whether it is wisdom or bravery, this person is one of the best in the tiger camp, and in time, he will become a great weapon." However, as Lord Shen said, he has no experience in leading troops, so he is afraid that he will not be able to convince the public. ”

Shen Hanxi looked at King Chengwu: "So, I want to borrow someone from the prince for use." ”

King Chengwu raised his head: "Who do you want to borrow?" ”

"I heard that there is a resourceful Xu Junshi by the prince's side, it is better to let him guide Cui Yu from the side, if he can retreat from the enemy, there is also a credit to the prince."
