When marching and fighting, the most important thing is to remove grain and grass, and the most important thing is naturally soldiers and horses.

Rong Guogong pulled the question to this, and Emperor Jianning also became a little serious.

After his gaze swept over everyone present, he spoke in a deep voice.

"The war in the west is not trivial, I am determined to take Zhao Zhongqi, who has been guarding the west for many years, as the commander, he is familiar with the affairs of the west, and has made many military exploits, and has dealt with Yanhu all the year round, he is the most suitable candidate, as for the other generals, in addition to Bianjing, he also sent people from other states and counties, Shen He!"

"The minister is here!"

After being mentioned, Shen He immediately came out of the queue and answered loudly.

Emperor Jianning frowned, "I know your ability, and you have been following me for a long time, this expedition, you are willing to go." ”

"The minister is willing to go, be loyal and dutiful, and share the worries of the emperor!" Shen He clenched his fists.

"Good!" Emperor Jianning's eyes were sharp, "Father and son soldiers, that kid of your family knows that he is also a good hand, and he is also performing meritorious deeds at these times, so he will be a vanguard general with you and go with you!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Shen He's brows frowned, and he subconsciously wanted to refuse, but before he could open his mouth, Emperor Jianning had already turned his head to look at Rong Guogong again.

He couldn't interject for a while, so he had to stand back in his place first.

It is naturally a good thing to be appreciated by the emperor, but in this matter, Shen He just doesn't want Shen Qianwei to get involved.

Even if as a courtier and a military general, he knows that it is his responsibility to protect his family and defend the country, but as a father, he would rather his son not have these responsibilities.

Su Yi looked at Shen He's expression with his peripheral eyes, and frowned slightly.

In the end, Emperor Jianning finished ordering the generals before slowing down his voice again.

"Now there are people, the coach has been decided, but the candidate for the deputy coach is still inconclusive, do you have a candidate?"

When he said this, Emperor Jianning's gaze swept towards King Jin.

King Jin is not stupid, so he naturally quickly realized Emperor Jianning's thoughts.

However, the deputy marshal is actually just a deputy, especially the prince as the deputy marshal, there must be no need for him to really lead the troops, this is Emperor Jianning is giving him the opportunity to go out and make meritorious contributions.

The Seventh Prince intervened in the logistics of grain and grass, and the opportunity to make meritorious contributions on the front line was given to him, and King Jin realized that this was his father's trade-off.

Of course, to talk about it, there are naturally many disadvantages to going on an expedition, and I don't know if he will make meritorious contributions, but if he is also nested in Bianjing like the Seventh Prince, it will inevitably disappoint Emperor Jianning.

After all, he relied on his military exploits to assist Emperor Jianning to seize the throne and ascend the throne all these years to gain a foothold in the royal family.

Thinking of all this, King Jin stepped forward and spoke loudly.

"If the father doesn't dislike the stupidity of his son, the son will recommend himself!"

"Okay, if you have this heart, I will allow you!"

After getting the answer he wanted, Emperor Jianning's eyes also burst out with a sharp light.

King Chen silently looked at the dragon robe behind the bookcase, and knew in his heart that for now, Emperor Jianning was still more inclined to King Jin.

But it doesn't matter, it is in the people to make things happen, and he can always plan slowly.

The battle between these princes is not everyone's concern, and there are Shen He and Su Yi here.

failed to open his mouth in front of Emperor Jianning, and after leaving the palace, Shen He kept his face gloomy.

Just as he was about to ride away, he was stopped by a voice behind him.

"General Shen!"

turned around and looked, it was Su Yi.

"Is there something wrong with Su Yushi?" Shen He stopped moving.

Su Yi nodded and made a gesture of invitation, "Borrow a step to speak." ”

The two of them immediately walked towards the less crowded place.

After standing still, Su Yi spoke again.

"In the imperial study today, I saw that the general seemed to have something to say to the emperor, probably for the sake of a thousand curtains."

"In the end, you are careful, and you can see it." Shen He sighed.

Su Yi shook his head and chuckled.

"Most of the people present are nine-hearted, the emperor looks at things and people, and he is even more insightful, I can see that the emperor may not be able to, but the emperor did not give the general a chance to speak today, and the general should be clearer in his heart."

Shen He has always been rough, but he really hasn't touched these doorways, but he is not stupid, listening to Su Yi's analysis at this time, what else does he not understand.

Immediately, his eyes widened.

"You mean, the emperor must want Qianwei to go to the west, so he avoided me?"

"At present, although there are many generals in the DPRK and China, they are all veterans, such as you, such as Rong Guogong, it is true that you have experience and ability, but after all, the younger generation cannot but experience."

Su Yi sighed and continued.

"Especially among the younger generation of martial arts now, Qianwei is indeed top-notch, and the emperor also values it."

After listening to this analysis, Shen He moved his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all.

The others don't have to listen, they just know that the emperor wants Shen Qianwei to go, so they can't hide.

Besides, Shen Qianwei's temperament, can he be a father?

When he went to Yuzhou to suppress bandits, this kid came with him, and when he went back to the west, he couldn't say if he would repeat his skills.

If that's the case, he can't hide, so he might as well take people with him and watch them.

Observing the change in the expression on Shen He's face, Su Yi knew that he should have the answer in his heart.

He reached out and patted Shen He on the shoulder, and left after a little comfort.

He deliberately said this, but he was also worried that Shen He's protector was anxious, and he didn't see what the emperor meant, so he ran to the emperor to say something to refuse.

If he said this, and didn't offend Emperor Jianning for Shen He himself, I am afraid that Shen Qianwei's future would be ruined in the future.

Now that the family matter has been decided, Shen Qianwei is even half of the Su family's son-in-law, so he will not sit idly by.

The courtiers left with their own thoughts, and in the palace, Emperor Jianning was also tired.

"Your Majesty, the queen mother personally sent a dim sum soup, and the emperor wants to pass it on." The chief steward, Wang Lianyi, said cautiously.

Emperor Jianning pinched his temples and threw the rosewood bracelet in his hand onto the table.

"Pass it in."

"Yes."

The latter replied and slowly retreated.

A moment later, Empress Xu came in with a food box.

"The concubine asked the emperor to say goodbye, I heard that the emperor didn't use much for lunch today, and this afternoon I saw the minister to discuss state affairs, I guess this time I was hungry, and the concubine specially prepared some things, even if the emperor is worried about the government, he has to take care of his body."

"The queen is bothered, sit down." Emperor Jianning waved his hand.

Queen Xu put down the food box, took out the things inside, and handed over the dishes and chopsticks, and then sat down next to her.

While Emperor Jianning was eating, he spoke softly again.

"This war is about to start, and it has collided with the wedding of the two children, and everything has been taken care of, just waiting for the day, but now. The concubine couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she wanted to ask the emperor what he meant. ”

Emperor Jianning took a sip of the soup and frowned slightly.

After a moment of silence, he whispered.

"This matter, I have also pondered in my heart, the seventh is not enough, and now it is determined that the third child is going to go with the army, as short as five days, as long as half a month, he must leave, his marriage has been delayed for many years, and it really can't be delayed anymore."

Listening to Emperor Jianning's tone, Empress Xu's eyes flashed, and then she said.

"King Jin's marriage really has to be hurried, the concubine thinks, then it's better to do it in advance, just two brothers together, it's not favoritism, two happy events, it can be regarded as a rush before the war."
