"You're forty-five, and in another twenty years, you won't be able to lift a knife."

Shen Qianwei snorted quietly.

But Shen He'er was good, so he still heard it clearly.

Immediately, his eyes widened with rage, and he picked up the whip in his hand.

Seeing this, Shen Qianwei hurriedly hid at the door of the camp tent, calling while hiding.

"Hey, hey, I'm wrong, Dad, I'm wrong, you put down the whip first, put it down, and have something to say!"

"Can you listen to it?" Shen He blew his beard and glared, "Okay, the matter in the Western Territory has not yet been decided, don't worry about it, I will tell you when there is news, go back." ”

When he said this, Shen Qianwei reluctantly left.

After he left, Shen He's lieutenant came in again.

"Why should the general be more childish, when we were young, didn't we all think about going to the battlefield every day to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions."

"I came here when I was young, and now I know how dangerous it is when I think about it."

Shen He sighed, showing a rare melancholy expression.

"I got married and had children late, I was talked about by my mother at the beginning, and now I have a son, I know how hard it is to be a father and mother, there are no heirs yet, if there is a difference on the battlefield, how can I be worthy of the ancestors of the Shen family, if he has left his bloodline, what will I stop him from."

The deputy general is about the same age as Shen He, and he also has children and daughters under his knees, and he is also emotional when he hears this.

He sighed and didn't say anything more.

However, the two of them knew very well in their hearts that this war in the west might not be avoidable, as short as a month, or as long as two or three months, and it was in between.

Yanhu is poor in resources, not as vast as Beidi, rich in resources, when Emperor Zhengde was mediocre, they tasted the sweetness here in Beidi, and now Emperor Jianning ascended the throne not long ago, they probably estimated that Emperor Jianning's foundation was unstable, so they moved their minds again.

And this war is not only worried about the courtiers, but also in the palace, Emperor Jianning has a headache.

Looking at the excerpts sent from the west, I only felt a faint pain in my temples.

He threw the fold on the table and looked up at the four sons standing below.

King Chen's body has recovered now, and he has re-entered the court since April, but after all, he has lost an arm, and his spirit is still not as good as before.

The four princes are completely made up, and the focus is still on the King of Jin and the Seven Princes.

"What do you guys think about the affairs of the Western Territory, and if there is a fight, who should you send?"

Originally, King Chen said it first, but this time he didn't plan to speak as the first one as before, but hung his head silently.

King Jin saw it in his eyes, so he had to stand up first.

"Father, the sons and daughters think that the court is good at leading troops, the Rongguo Mansion is a family of military generals, and there are many talented generals, as well as Zhaoyong General Shen He, the father and son of the Shen family are loyal and brave, and they can also take responsibility."

After he finished speaking, the eyes of the Seven Princes flashed, but they did not open their mouths.

But at this time, the four princes jumped out.

"The Li family of the Rongguo Mansion is the third brother's father-in-law, and the Su family is also considered to be, and this Shen family is the in-law of the Su family.

"If the fourth brother has a better candidate, it can be said that the left and right are decided by the father." King Jin said lightly.

The four princes eat, drink and have fun all day long and don't care much about the government and politics, they belong to the-stirring stick with empty ambition and inability.

So immediately it was dumb.

Seeing this, the Seventh Prince calmly spoke.

"On the generals who lead the troops to fight, we do have a lot of them in the court, but now most of them are in important positions and cannot be separated, such as the commander of Bianjingwei, Lord Wu, who has also made a lot of military achievements in the past, but now he cannot be transferred at will, in terms of it, it is indeed the Zhaoyong general Shen He who is the most suitable to lead the troops to fight, but this Shen He is brave but not resourceful enough, and it is not suitable to be the commander."

Emperor Jianning listened to it and did not refute it, obviously thinking that there was some truth in what he said.

After all, Shen He was the one who followed him from Yanzhou, and he knew better what his ability was.

However, he was not in a hurry to make up his mind at the moment, but turned his head to look at King Chen.

"Yan'er, what do you mean, let's hear it."

was named, and King Chen slowly spoke.

"Back to his father's words, Erchen thinks that what the seventh brother said is reasonable, no matter how good the weapon is, there must be someone who can use it to play the greatest effect, Shen He is a sharp blade, and Erchen thinks that the third brother is the one who can hold the knife."

As soon as these words came out, King Jin's brows furrowed slightly.

He knew that King Chen meant to make him the commander and lead the troops to the west, but even though this leading troops to fight was a good opportunity for meritorious service, it was really dangerous, and the slightest carelessness would kill him on the battlefield.

In the past, he knew that King Chen was in front of him, and he had no chance to take the throne, so he protected himself with military exploits in front of Emperor Jianning and acted as a military minister, but now that he has the intention of seizing the heir, he must be careful in everything, and he is naturally unwilling to do such a dangerous thing in person.

But he couldn't refuse directly, after all, this was for the country and the people, so King Jin's heart sank quickly.

After thinking quickly for a while, he calmly said.

"Erchen is willing to share his father's worries, but Erchen has never been to the Western Border, and he doesn't know anything about local affairs, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be the big responsibility that Brother Chen said, but Erchen remembers that General Zhao Zhongqi, who guards the Western Border, is quite talented and familiar with Western affairs, so it is better for him to be the commander, and Erchen will assist the two generals from the side."

Emperor Jianning sat behind the bookcase, swept over his four sons expressionlessly, and only spoke in a deep voice after a while.

"Okay, I still have to think about this matter, you all step back first."

Such a major event will not be easily decided, and several people have it in their hearts, so they naturally retire honestly.

When they got out of the palace, the seven princes were about to leave, but they were stopped by King Chen, and the two didn't know what to say, and then the seven princes got into King Chen's carriage and left together.

King Jin silently looked at the two who left, and his face became gloomy.

I guessed in my heart that King Chen might now also start planning for the Seventh Prince.

When he returned to the palace, a maid came to report.

"Lord, Concubine Su stewed duck soup with her own hands, and I want to invite the prince to eat."

"If the king has something to do, he won't go." King Jin waved his hand slightly irritably.

The maid answered, and when she was about to retreat, King Jin suddenly remembered something and stopped her again.

"Wait, it's not easy for Concubine Su to stew soup with her own hands, this king should go and taste it, tell her to prepare, and this king will go for dinner."

"Yes." The maid nodded and retired.

Su Zhiyi was also happy when he got the news, and immediately ordered people to prepare.

When it was time for dinner, King Jin came over, and saw that she was dressed exquisitely, and she had prepared a table of good dishes.

"It's hard to know, just leave such things to your subordinates in the future, why bother yourself." King Jin said warmly.

"I can make soup for the prince by myself, and the concubine doesn't feel tired." Su Zhiyi's face was shy.

King Jin smiled and took her hand to the table and sat down.

"My father-in-law married you to this king, and this king should treat you well, how can I be willing to ask you to do these rough work, let's say, this May 17 is the birthday of your fourth sister, and it will be a few days, so you can go back and see it at that time, so it is a sister of your relatives."
