Chapter 4 Claiming the King
Thinking that he would face many tests after his filial piety, Wei Changying did not dare to slack off.
Although the Huang family and the He family are her left and right arms, and they are not used to their departure, in order to prepare for a rainy day, she still decided to let the Huang family personally lead the team to the imperial capital to prepare a dowry for Shen Zangning - mainly to investigate the marriage candidates of Shen Yongshi and others, such a big thing, it is not an old and loyal old servant like the Huang family, Wei Changying really can't rest assured.
Of course, the most important thing is that Wei Changying can trust Huang's eyesight.
Whether it is Shen Jishi, Shen Shujing, or Shen Shuming, this time they are all looking for a room or husband, once they look badly, they may not bring what kind of aftermath!
At this time, it was already November, Xiliang was far away from the imperial capital, and now the world was in chaos, after Wei Changying decided, he asked the Huang family to hand over the messenger in her hand as quickly as possible, pack up and leave.
But the Huang family has not yet reached the imperial capital, as if they have made an appointment, in fact, the states that have long been under the control of the Great Wei court have become independent!
Pingzhou Sun Wuding and Li Yueshan Zhao Man are the most moderate - although they regard the land they occupy as a country, they still support the Shen bloodline, and the former chose Shen Huan, the grandson of King Tan, the second son of Huanzong; The latter chose Shen Biao, the uncle of Huanzong and the great-grandson of King Xiang.
Since the Shen bloodline has been established, of course, there will be no new country name, these two people are not worthy of the banner of ruling the world under the banner of today's saintly virtue and talent, and they are not worthy of the banner of ruling the world. Of course, we did not forget to denounce the Qingzhou Su clan and other scholars for erecting the saint and making the hall of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor like a puppet.
But not everyone is like Sun Wuding and Zhao Man, who deliberately pulled a fig leaf-
Cao Jianlin of Youzhou was defeated by the Pei family at the end of last year, and when he fled to the direction of Donghu, he unluckily bumped into the baggage team led by Su Yuwu, which became one of the stepping stones for Su Yuwu to become famous all over the world.
But Xu Zongwen, another force entrenched in Youzhou, has always stood like a mountain, and even the Pei family, who lives in Youzhou, has no choice but to sit back and watch him occupy half of Youzhou and the entire Xinzhou and other places, and set the capital of Xinzhou Prefecture, play the king's name, and proclaim himself the king!
Within a few days, Gunzhou Quwen also took the city of Gunzhou as the capital and built Xiangguo.
The seven counties of Mengshan established the Mongolian state, and on the day of the founding of the country, they sealed several one-word kings in one go......
The kings and kingdoms that have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain seem to be child's play, but the forces of the whole country have to be treated cautiously - Hugh sees that at this moment, a country is divided and occupies only two or three states, and dares to be the king. But...... This means that the number of Great Wei Qi has been exhausted!
Although from a few years ago, the government and the opposition felt that the Great Wei State was thin, but after all, it was still the nominal court.
All the kingdoms are the bloodline of the Shen clan canonized by the Emperor of Great Wei.
lingering, but also a breath remains.
And now, even the two "countries" that pushed Shen Huan and Shen Biao out as puppets refuse to recognize the saints in the imperial capital!
"Da Wei is finished." Shen Zangfeng sighed and put the news back on the table.
Shen Zangji asked excitedly with three points of apprehension and seven points of excitement: "Third brother, can we return to the Central Plains?" ”
"It's not time yet." Shen Zangfeng glanced in the direction of the imperial capital, but shook his head, "Even if Great Wei is dead, there is still a ...... to fight It's only been a year since we came back, and the clan ...... Not all settled yet. If you start like this, I'm afraid it will give some people a chance. ”
Shen Zangji and Shen Yongkun glanced at each other, their faces quite embarrassed. If the Xiliang Army sends troops to the Central Plains again, Shen Jishi, who is good at fighting, and Shen Zangfeng, who has easily sat on the position of lord after this year's open and secret fighting, will definitely personally command this expedition to change the dynasty with the army, so those who stay in Xiliang must be their two brothers.
Shen Zangfeng naturally didn't trust them when he said this...... But it's also true.
Originally, the two brothers thought that they would be a gentleman who walked horses and fought dogs in their lives, and enjoyed all the glory and wealth under the shadow of their father and brother. As a result, the sudden change made them have to take responsibility - it has only been a year or two, even if the temperament of the two has changed greatly after the big change, they are not the opponents of those old guys in the clan.
"There's nothing wrong with not meddling now." Shen Jishi didn't know whether to comfort his younger brothers, or if he really thought so, he stroked the short hair under his chin and said lightly, "In the past year, according to Mr. Shangguan's suggestion, we have actually controlled Guanzhou in the name of protecting the jade mine. Later, he used the reason of chasing the robbers to take Yunzhou down. Now it is a land of three states. In my opinion, it is more reliable to enter the Central Plains step by step than to send troops directly. ”
After a pause, he said, "The main thing is to enter the Central Plains now, what reason is used?" The Great Wei is over, but the court is still there, shall we go to King Qin to escort it? Why bother? Do you want to chase the Central Plains? It's the truth - but this kind of thing is tacit, and it doesn't make sense to say it. ”
"So it's better to pretend to be confused and continue to take down the fortified cities on the border between Yunzhou and Liuzhou......"
When Shen Yongshi said this, he couldn't help but ask for battle again, "I don't think it's too late, Hong Jin hasn't succeeded in fighting for a few months, so it's better for me to go in person!" ”
"There's a reason why Hong Jin didn't come down." Shen Zangfeng pondered for a moment, but shook his head and refused his brother's request, "Those few terrains are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the people inside are proficient in the method of defending...... The most important thing is that the order I gave to Hong Jin was that the loss of our soldiers should not be too large, and he would not dare to attack, and he could only slowly consume it. ”
"Hong Jin has a quick temper, but the third brother just gave him such restrictions, is it to sharpen his temperament?" Shen Zangji said, "If that's the case, then the second brother really shouldn't go." ”
The two brothers are opposed to Shen Yongshi to replace Hong Jin, but the so-called reason is actually another reason, that is, Shen Yongshi was too seriously injured last year, and he was not allowed to use the blade until the beginning of this year.
"Or should I go? I'm not qualified to succeed General Hong, but it's better to be a deputy and have insight? Shen Yongkun saw that Shen Yongshi's brows were furrowed, so he said.
Shen Zangfeng still shook his head: "It's November now, according to the battle report sent back by Hong Jin before, if there is no accident, I can't take those places this year." After you go, won't you want to spend the New Year outside? ”
Shen Yongkun touched his nose: "That's nothing......"
"To see, the next thing is to have an opportunity." Shen Zangfeng snorted, "Hong Jin, just leave it to him to think for himself!" Although this person is brave, his temper is really impatient, and I am counting on taking advantage of this siege to let him cultivate his mind! lest you always cheer him up when you send him into battle in the future...... Don't bother, any of you. ”
When he said this, the crowd could only agree.
After finishing the business, the brothers also discussed a few family matters - Shen Yushi was most concerned about his nephew's studies, and now they were busy, and they didn't have time to give careful instructions to each of them. plus among the three living nephews, one of them wholeheartedly wants to be a pure martial artist, and when he talks to him about strategy, he can sleep until the clouds are out without a cup of tea; One is too small, and it's naughty and tight.
The most valued is, of course, Shen Shuguang.
At this moment, Shen Yushi asked: "Is the health of the third brother and sister better?" ”
"I just sent someone to tell you, the fever has subsided, and I think I can be fine for two days." Shen Zangfeng knew that what this cousin really wanted to ask was not his wife's body, but-" She was also afraid of delaying Guang'er's homework, so as soon as she woke up and saw Guang'er serving in front of her, she sent someone to tell me that I would bring Guang'er back tomorrow, saying that she had someone to serve there. ”
Sure enough, Shen Yishi immediately didn't bother to care about when the wind and cold of the third brother and daughter-in-law would get better, and said with great satisfaction: "Guang'er has good talent and is willing to work hard, and he will definitely be able to achieve something in the future." Now that he is the age of laying the foundation, the so-called high-rise buildings rise from the ground, and he must not slack off. ”
Two days ago, Wei Changying didn't know how to get it, and suddenly contracted a cold, although Ji Qu was invited over, he still had a fever for two days in a row. This made everyone in the backyard of Ming Peitang very worried, Su Yuyin and Huo Qingling temporarily took over the management, because of the departure of the Huang family, there was a lack of an extremely important person, and there was no Wei Changying, and the young fifth and sixth ladies were in a hurry.
And all the girls from Shen Shujing and below, including Ji Yiren, who had already lived back to Ji Yuan after returning to Xiliang this time, rushed over to serve the sick.
As the eldest son, Shen Shuguang also asked to go back to the backyard to serve his mother's bed after knowing - everyone up and down knew that if Wei Changying had three longs and two shorts, the backyard would be unbalanced, and the front would definitely be affected.
I'm afraid that Shen Yishi will ask a few words, but in his heart, he is completely worried about Wei Changying's mother's illness, don't delay his baby nephew's homework for too long......
However, Shen Yongshi's temperament of thinking that the backyard should naturally have a female dependent to preside over and not let the backyard disturb the business of the men in front of him, his younger brothers have long been used to it.
At this moment, Shen Zangfeng could only sigh and promise: "Early tomorrow morning, Guang'er will serve his mother for dinner, and I will bring him over." ”
"Bring it to me when the time comes." Shen Yongshi stroked his short hair and said seriously, "I have to investigate what I taught him two days ago...... In fact, there is absolutely no shortage of people in front of my brother and sister. That is, Guang'er wants to be filial, and when we discuss things like this today in the future, we should also call him over to listen. Just let him go back to serve his third brother and sister. ”
…… Even if you are determined to teach your nephew well, think that the one lying on the couch now is his own mother! Although Shen Shuguang is young, he is very filial, you just sent someone to call him, is he willing to downplay his mother's illness like this?
Shen Zangji and Shen Yongkun glanced at each other, and they both felt that they couldn't cry or laugh.
In the end, Shen Zangfeng was so self-contained, he smiled lightly and diverted the topic.
