Chapter 18: Disputes between husband and wife
The husband and wife flirted and scolded each other, and after Shen Youjia arrived, Wei Changying found a reason to leave, so that Shen Zangfeng and Shen Youjia could discuss military affairs alone.
In the next few days, Shen Youjia ran to Shen Zangfeng all day long, sometimes with his staff, and even Deng Zongqi was invited over a few times when they were discussing.
Wei Changying guessed that they should have a major decision, but remembering the advice of the aunts, since Shen Zangfeng didn't take the initiative to tell him, it was better not to ask. Since she didn't worry about military affairs, she did her own thing well: she grasped Chenguang to comb the top and bottom of Mingpeitang, and beat the restless and rewarded the obedient...... Because Shen Youjia was close to Shen Zangfeng, his younger brother Shen Youyi had a good relationship with his brother, and after taking over Ming Peitang, he obeyed Wei Chang's words.
Wei Changying carried out many meanings one by one under the banner of Shen Youyi, and changed the positions of the servants in the family on a large scale, almost turning over the entire Ming Pei Hall. It is not without people who are trying to sue in the middle, but from the old man to the servant, they can't shake Shen Zangfeng's determination to support his wife, with him in charge, although Shen Zanghui is a soft-eared person, he doesn't dare to disobey his cousin. The three of them have one meaning, and they are afraid that they are strong, and everyone is helpless.
In this way, before Chinese New Year's Eve, the invitation sent by Wei Changyun in the name of her husband and wife and her little uncle Shen Zanghui was already no one dared to slacken.
It's just that the guests are trying their best to figure out how to go to the banquet, but there is an accident on the host's side - Wei Changying listened to her husband's sudden request, and couldn't help but change color and said: "Your wounds are not all healed, and now you can't ride a horse, so you have to go to Donghe Town...... Are you kidding?! β
Shen Zangfeng explained: "You Jia will lead the army to kill and plunder this time, and I will take care of his baggage behind him, and I will never go into battle in person." β
"It's not a day or two since Jia is the captain of Xiliang, will he not have a suitable baggage officer? Why do you have to go there yourself? Moreover, the first time you were injured was in Donghe Town, which shows the danger there, you say that you don't fight in person, but if you really bump into the enemy, can you 'fight'? Wei Changying disagreed, "The Hengzhi Saint has given you three years of Chenguang, and you have already made the credit for 'forced' Mushuel to almost desperation, and now you should also have a share in this calculation." Even if you don't go into battle, it's better to have less credit than if your injuries are not healed and worse! β
"I'm not here for merit." Shen Zangfeng sighed, "Last time, Brother Ziming, the three of them had no share, and this time I tacitly wanted to give them this merit." His voice was low, "I'm just not very worried about Youjia, he didn't catch Mu Xiuer last time he had such a good opportunity, I'm afraid that if I don't go this time, he will be negligent and miss a big thing!" β
Wei Changying frowned and said, "Since you don't worry about him, why do you still need to use him?" β
Shen Zangfeng's words that his wife didn't know anything about military affairs made Shen Zangfeng stunned, but he still explained to her: "Although Youjia is a little sloppy, he also has talents. It's just that Mushuel is too important, and I don't feel at ease if I don't go over and look at it in person. It's not that You Jia is really useless, otherwise the position of Lieutenant of Xiliang would not have been done by him, a person with a side branch and a low seniority. β
Although Du Wei is not a general, he is the highest-ranking military attache in Xiliang.
In fact, it is in charge of the entire army of Xiliang.
Of course, the "thorn hedge" is not among them.
But it is also enough to show Shen Youjia's talent - his position, but there is a test of whether Di Ren is qualified to bear it.
Seeing that although her husband's words were gentle, her intention to go to Donghe Town was resolute, and her heart was so irritable that she stood up and took a turn in the house, and said angrily: "No matter what you say, I won't let you go!" If you are already so good now, I am not such a stupid 'woman' who stops your desire to kill the enemy and serve the country for the sake of short-term knowledge! However, your wound has not yet scabbed, and the slightest jolt will surely open again. Donghe Town is so dangerous again, you go, just in case...... What do you tell me to do with Guang'er? You're worried about Mushuel worrying about the border, but aren't you worried about me and Guang'er?! β
She bit her lip and burst into tears, "Guang'er is still so young, speaking of which, he will soon be full after the New Year, but you, the father, haven't seen him yet!" If you take such a risk for the sake of a Mushuer, can't you think about your wife and eldest son? β
Shen Zangfeng walked up to her, reached out and stroked her sideburns, and said softly, "It's for you that I'm going." β
Seeing that Wei Changying frowned and was about to refute, Shen Zangfeng's fingers slid down, nodded at her 'lips', asked her not to say it yet, and said softly, "You know the sage's fear and precautions against our lords, now that my father-in-law is in good health, Ruiyu Hall will be prosperous, this is of course a good thing for us." But for the saints, they are afraid that our two families are too strong and endanger the throne. Fortunately, the saint is not a person of great talent, and he has been indulging in the 'lust' of harem wine for decades, and his spirit is exhausted, and he does not dare to use any thunderous means until he has no choice! β
"But the way of the world is what is to be feared." Shen Zangfeng sighed lightly and said, "You also saw it on the way from Fengzhou to the imperial capital before, our Great Wei is not very peaceful now!" I won't hide it from you, not to mention that there are flames in the territory, but even in a rich place like Jiangnan, there are several litters of bandits, not to mention the situation in other places? In many places, the government 'forced' the people to rebel and boil against the sky! The Holy Lord did not like to hear such news, so the various families discussed and focused on managing the Gyeonggi area, and all the reports about bandits and the like in other places were pressed. β
Wei Changying shook his hand away, frowned, and said, "But this is the world of the Shen family, what does it matter to us?" Is it difficult for you to quickly pacify the border and ask yourself to go out to govern it? This is what the saint has 'made' for many years without thinking about the government, but how can he govern it by relying on a courtier! She is not unsympathetic to those ordinary people who can't get by, but compared to these people, she cares more about the safety of her husband.
"I mean there is already 'chaos' in the world, Da Wei ......" Shen Zangfeng hesitated for a moment before he lowered his head to her ear, almost breathing, word for word, "Country, Zuo, Already, Decline!" β
Although Wei Changying was not very optimistic about the future of Da Wei, he couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the words at this moment, and subconsciously grabbed the handkerchief in his hand, and said after a while: "Really...... It's really come to this point?! β
The decline of the Wei family is obvious, but to say that the state has declined...... For example, there are bandits everywhere today, but they are all petty fights in various places, and they are not serious enough to develop the scale of several states and counties to develop a world-famous name. The royal Shen family inherited the legacy of the ancestors, and the heyday of the Great Wei Dynasty has only been 100 years away from now - since Wei Gaozu officially became the emperor, the Wei family has only been more than 200 years ago!
Could it be that Wei Zuo was squandered by the Shen clan so quickly?
Shen Zangfeng smiled silently and said, "The saint doesn't ask about political affairs, and many minor illnesses in this dynasty have become a depression over the past few decades. Even if the prince is wise and martial, if he wants to cure this chronic disease, in addition to his talent, he must at least rely on five points of heavenly help. But what do you think the current prince has to do with the wise and martial arts? It's not as good as the Holy One! Even if the current crown prince cannot inherit the throne, among the sons of the saints, the eldest prince is the most filial and humble, and the fourth prince and the sixth prince are smart and smart, but now these three princes have passed away. Among the current kings, there may be virtuous and filial people, but when it comes to turning the tide...... But no one can do it! β
He smiled faintly and said, "It is rumored that in the emperor's grandson, Shen Lin, the son of the crown prince, is young and sensitive, but how old is Shen Lin?" There are many heirs of the Holy Lord, if the crown prince loses, how can it be his turn to inherit the throne? Take 10,000 steps back, even if he has inherited the throne - the Lord Shaoguo doubts, no matter how smart Shen Lin is, he is just a child now! Where can you stop the scene! It will only make Da Wei more 'swinging'! β
Shen Zangfeng sighed: "Looking at the current princes and grandsons, it is impossible for there to be a master of Zhongxing within three generations!" Ying'er, you say, in this world, there is no food and no clothes...... They are afraid that they will not be able to wait for three days, and they will go up the mountain to join the bandits to make a way to survive, how can they wait for three generations?! What's more, the fourth generation of the Shen family will definitely have an unborn genius who can reverse such a decline in one fell swoop? β
His eyes were as heavy as night, and he shook his head slowly, "I don't even believe in me, a child of Valve, who eats in brocade clothes and 'jade', let alone those ordinary people who are in danger?!" The people's hearts are shaking, and the Wei family is already in urgent danger, not to mention that there are Rong people in the north and Qiudi in the west? ! Such internal and external troubles, it's not that Wei Zuo is about to decline, what is it! β
Wei Changying subconsciously said, "Then what do you mean?" β
"Within 10 years, there will be great 'chaos' in the country." Shen Zangfeng said in a deep voice, "We are waiting for the valve reading industry to spread all over the country, and there are thousands of clansmen, so it is impossible to stand by and watch!" I must seize every opportunity to deal with Qiu Di, not to mention exterminating the clan, at least to kill them far away from the desert, and they have not been able to invade for more than ten years, so as to temporarily protect the peace of Xiliang! β
He exhaled and said imperceptibly, "In this way, you can not only increase your official position and seize the power in the army; It also makes my Shen Sangzi have no worries, so that I can free up my hands and concentrate on dealing with this big 'chaos'! β
Wei Changying thought quickly and remained silent.
Shen Zangfeng gently stroked his wife's hair bun and said softly: "So I can't let go of Mu Xiuer, this person is eloquent and ambitious, and he is really a big trouble!" If I don't eradicate him, even if the Di people are far away from the desert, I can't rest assured! β
"In the 'chaotic' world, human life is like a mustard, the identity in peacetime is not enough to worry about, there is no power and no status, how can I protect you and Guang'er?" Shen Zangfeng said softly, "Okay Ying'er, don't stop me, let me go!" β
Wei Changying held his hand blankly and said, "But we are Valve!" Isn't our family high enough now? β
"This time, you also saw that not all of you elders really respect our ancestors?" Shen Zangfeng stretched out his finger to stroke her eyebrows, and said in a low voice, "Now they have no chance, they have to bow their heads!" But if the world is 'chaotic', how can they not have other thoughts? The Honjo Branch...... The bloodline cannot be 'chaotic', but the position of the lord and the hereditary title of repudiation are not impossible to bear by changing one for another! β
His gaze froze, "This is also the reason why I support you to take over many affairs of Ming Peitang as soon as you come, we are very short of time now!" You and I are young! Originally, my father, mother, and uncle were all in the prime of life, and if it was a prosperous and peaceful time, we would have nothing to worry about, and the elders would cultivate us carefully and steadily. However, the situation is so bad, we can't help but be prepared for the 'chaotic' times. After all, when it really comes to that time, the elders may not have time to take care of us, which one doesn't want the position of the Shen lord? β
Wei Changying was silent for a long time, and Fang said in a low voice: "Then ......"
She paused again before she said with difficulty, "Then you bring Sister Xinmiao with you, just in case." β
"How is this possible?" Shen Zangfeng heard the strong reluctance and worry in her tone, lowered his head and 'kissed' her cheek, and said with a chuckle, "Let's not say that Donghe Town is shabby, there are also risks, Miss Duanmu Ba is not a servant of our family, I always have to ask her what she means when she wants to go, she is not willing to go, can we still tie her up?" Let's just say that she is a 'female', and unless she is a prostitute in the army, she has always been forbidden to enter the 'female' son, let alone follow me. β
Wei Changying was upset and 'chaotic' at the moment, and she didn't know what to say. After listening to what her husband said, she realized that what she said was indeed a little taken for granted, but she was worried and stunned for a moment before she said again: "Then you bring all the 'medicine' and don't miss it." Tell Shen to put on some heart, boil it for you on time, and you have to drink it on time, don't be bitter about the 'medicine'. β
Shen Zangfeng responded with a smile this time, stretched out his fingers and pinched the tip of her nose, and smiled: "Do you think 'medicine' is bitter?" When did I get bitter about the 'medicine'? I'm not a three-year-old child, and I have to be coaxed to drink 'medicine'? He deliberately picked this to ease the atmosphere, but although Wei Changying was told that he couldn't help but let him go to Donghe Town, he couldn't let go of it in his heart, and he didn't have the heart to joke with him at the moment.
"I'll ask Sister Xin Miao later, what are the 'medicines' you can use......" After being stunned for a moment, Wei Changying twisted the handkerchief a few times before muttering.
She kept thinking about how to prepare the method for Shen Zangfeng, but she felt lackluster when she thought about itβshe couldn't help but blurt out, "Or, I'll go with you?" β
Shen Zangfeng smiled and said: "'Women' are not allowed to enter the ...... in the army"
"I'm not going with your army, I'll go to Donghe Town to join you." Wei Changying said seriously, "Didn't Shen Chufu's 'wife' also be sent there before?" Since there are ordinary people living there, I will go there and 'get' a room to live with you, and at most I will not enter your camp. β
"Donghe Town, haven't you been there......" Thinking of the dilapidated border town where the entire town does not leak snow and rain because of years of war, Shen Zangfeng sighed and said, "No." Not to mention that there is no suitable place for you to live there, let's just say that the two of us went to Donghe Town, what should we do here in Mingpeitang? β
Wei Changying said: "Shen Youyi's husband is good. β
"If you don't sit here, they won't be able to do anything right away." Shen Zangfeng reminded with a light smile, "They were promoted by you, your foundation in Mingpeitang is too shallow, and your prestige has not yet reached the point where you are not in Xiliang City, and the people in Mingpeitang still dare not neglect the rules you set and the people you promoted!" Besides, you have sent out the posts of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and I can still let the fourth brother replace me if I am absent, what will it look like if you are absent? β
Wei Changyun: Where would he have the heart to think about the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet? Those people don't add up to a little finger of their husband! She said without hesitation: "What do they do!" Either let Shen Youyi's wife greet them, or let them take care of themselves! Where can they compare to you? β
"I like to hear that." Shen Zangfeng stroked her face and said softly and persistently, "But you still can't goβyou need to keep an eye on it here, so that I don't know what is going on in the clan when I'm busy with the war." "The most important thing," he said softly, "is that if something happens to me, we can't afford to leave someone to take care of me!" β
