Chapter 378: Breaking the Level Again
Second Uncle Bai's tone was sincere: "If you hadn't come forward to help, my son-in-law wouldn't have known where he was gotten by that group of scoundrels, thank you so much!" ”
After speaking, he began to introduce himself, after all, people saved their own sons, it is not good to ask others first, and then report their own door, it is a little too rude.
"Under the surname Bai, if this Shen Gongzi doesn't mind, I will drag it out, you can call me Second Uncle Bai, as for this unsuccessful son, he is also surnamed Bai, if you don't mind, you can call him Bai Gongzi if he looks like he is the same age."
only said the surname, but did not say the name, Shen Yingniang knew that this middle-aged man was wary of himself, this was to guard himself, but Shen Yingniang did not feel offended.
After all, being wary is not a bad thing, it is a good thing, and she also smiled and introduced herself.
"You're welcome, it's just a gesture, and besides, this little boy and I have never met, I don't know if Second Uncle Bai has an impression, you also came by boat, right? I also came by boat, but my boat is smaller than yours. ”
"When I was on the boat, I saw the two of them on the big boat, and when I was eating in the restaurant, I didn't want to take care of it, but when I saw this little boy, I also saw it, so I took care of such an idle matter, by the way, under the surname Shen, if the two of you don't dislike it, you can also call me Shen Gongzi, or Shen Shopkeeper."
Hearing Shen Yingniang's self-introduction, Second Uncle Bai had no surprises, and even breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that not only Shen Yingniang saw the Bai family's uncle and nephew, but also Shen Yingniang, at least the second uncle Bai saw it.
Second Uncle Bai asked, "I don't know what kind of business Shopkeeper Shen is?" Our group is going to Wuyi Mountain to participate in the famous tea conference, we are tea merchants, I don't know if the next way, if the way, there is also a response. ”
Shen Yingniang was not polite, and said directly: "I also went to participate in the famous tea conference, I have a long experience, my name is Shen Liang, if you don't mind, you can also call my name directly." ”
"Looks like we're on the way." Second Uncle Bai has a score in his heart.
Bai Gongzi didn't react at all, and when he heard Shen Yingniang following them along, he immediately laughed and said.
"By the way? That's great! Brother Shen, will you move forward with us? In this way, we can also take care of each other, you have helped me a lot this time, give me a chance to repay you, I bring a lot of people, I will definitely protect you! ”
Second Uncle Bai just glanced at Bai Gongzi lightly, but he didn't object, which can be regarded as acquiescence.
Shen Yingniang smiled and thanked: "Then thank you." ”
……
Three days later, the capital.
The Great Xia Emperor, who was sitting on the throne, threw a military report on the main hall, his eyes swept over the faces of the civil and military officials in the court like a falcon, and finally said with a cold snort.
"The frontier war report, it's not good news, the five princes of the barbarians led people to break the Jackdaw Pass, not only that, but also broke two levels one after another, and now the waste in southern Jiangsu has led people to retreat to the last pass, Xishui Pass."
"The fifth prince of the barbarian clan may break the last defensive Xishui Pass at any time, and at that time, this barbarian clan can drive straight into my Great Xia, what do you think?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the civil and military officials present all changed, this is a big deal, and this matter is not so easy to solve, but in front of the emperor, it is not good not to say anything, so someone immediately stood up and scolded.
"Your Majesty, Sunan is simply a shame for us in Great Xia, and he actually threw three passes in succession, and let the fifth prince pick up such a big bargain, it's really hateful!"
"That's it, I don't know who recommended this Sunan in the first place, let him go to the frontier to garrison, this is good, the garrison ability didn't see any reputation, but lost so many passes, if we have any recommended candidates or countermeasures next, we have to think carefully and think clearly."
As soon as these words came out, it was considered to block those who wanted to follow the trend and talk nonsense, if they didn't say it well, they were asking for trouble, so let's brew it, for a while, the entire hall was silent, and no one dared to say anything anymore.
Yue Lingjun was also standing in the main hall, but he looked leisurely and leisurely, and he didn't care about himself, which made many people who secretly paid attention to him have doubts in their hearts.
It stands to reason that Yue Lingjun shouldn't have hurriedly taken the initiative to invite Ying and go to the frontier? This was a great opportunity, although they didn't want to admit it, they all knew how much Yue Lingjun wanted to go to the frontier to defend against the enemy.
The emperor hurriedly summoned people back from outside, which was also the purpose, but after calling people back, he did not immediately arrange people to go to the frontier, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
But after waiting and waiting, everyone gradually understood the emperor's intentions, and it seemed that the emperor still wanted to tame this fierce horse first, and then arrange errands for the other party.
It's just that Yue Lingjun's proud head doesn't seem to be going to be lowered, so it has dragged on until now, if Yue Lingjun had gone to the frontier a long time ago, there would be no current situation......
Thoughts gradually drifted away, everyone's eyes kept moving back and forth on Yue Lingjun and the emperor's body, they faintly noticed something, and at this time, the Nine Emperor Princes spoke.
"Father! The son has something to say! ”
The Nine Emperor Princes should not have come, after all, he was grounded by the emperor and locked up, but the Nine Emperor Princes are always the Nine Emperor Princes, except for the crown prince, he is the most favored son of the emperor, and he used some means to finally lift the grounding and go to court in advance.
He promised Yue Lingjun that today was the time to fulfill his promise, and he had to move.
Looking at the Nine Emperor Princes who stood up, Emperor Daxia breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, and he asked directly.
"What do the Nine Emperor Princes think?"
The Nine Emperors arched his hand, his eyes were serious, and he said in a calm tone: "Father, the situation on the frontier is really worrying, if Southern Jiangsu can't hold this last pass, Xishui Pass, then the barbarian people will have to drive straight in." ”
"At that time, even if we send people to defend against the enemy, the people on the frontier will still suffer, so Erchen thinks that we have to send someone to take over quickly, since Sunan can't do this errand, then retreat obediently."
Emperor Daxia's eyes were dark, but he still asked.
"What do you recommend for the Nine Emperors?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on the Nine Emperor Princes, and they were also very curious, what the Nine Emperor Princes wanted to do, if their intelligence was not wrong, there should be no military generals under the Nine Emperor Princes.
What's more, at this time, Sunan has already lost three passes in a row, if the Nine Emperors send another waste to replace Sunan at this time, wouldn't it be troublesome for themselves?
Sunan has made such a big mistake, and when he comes back, he must be scolded by the emperor, if the emperor is in a bad mood, he may even lose his life, and the Nine Emperors will send their own people to take over at this time, if they can keep it, it is best to keep it, but if they can't keep it...... That's asking for trouble.
The Nine Emperors don't look like such impulsive and brainless people, what's wrong with this today?
Everyone has such doubts in their hearts, and so does Emperor Daxia, he still values this son, compared to the crown prince, he is a smart person, but he is too smart, and sometimes even the emperor feels jealous.
However, now that this situation is not under control, this person has to be arranged first, so Emperor Daxia is also very curious about who the Nine Emperor Princes are.
The Nine Emperors arched his hand and said: "Father, the son recommends Yue Lingjun, he is the general of our Great Xia, although the boat and car are tired to rush to the capital, the general is indeed tired." ”
"But now that the frontier is tight, the general, as the god of war who guards our Great Xia, is duty-bound to go to the frontier at this time, and I also ask my father to issue an edict to immediately order the general to go to the frontier and take over all the matters in southern Jiangsu, and it is urgent to protect my mountains and rivers!"
When the Nine Emperors said the back, they looked worried, they didn't know, they really thought he was a good prince who was worried about the country and the people.
As soon as the Nine Emperors said this, the civil and military officials who were staring at each other in the court looked at each other, and then they were shocked.
Nine Emperor Princes, what's going on?
When did he have such a good relationship with Yue Lingjun?
That's right, everyone can see that the Nine Emperor Princes are speaking for Yue Lingjun, and they can't help but guess.
Who doesn't know that Yue Lingjun has offended almost half of the magnates in the capital, even the prince is no exception, and the Nine Emperor Princes are among them, why did he suddenly abandon his previous suspicions and speak for Yue Lingjun?
Although Yue Lingjun did not take the initiative to express his intention to go to the frontier, but Yue Lingjun did not need to say it, others could see what he wanted to do, but Yue Lingjun himself did not speak, but the Nine Emperors stood up and became the person who recommended it.
For a while, everyone's eyes looked at the Nine Emperor Princes with a little inquiry, and their eyes kept sweeping back and forth on the Nine Emperor Princes and Yue Lingjun, guessing what happened to these two people.
Emperor Daxia was also quite surprised, looking at his son's eyes with doubts, others don't know his son, can he still not know? has always been arrogant and conceited, and for Yue Lingjun, it has always been regarded as a thorn in the side.
And Yue Lingjun is also a proud person, it is impossible for either of these two to obey anyone, and the son suddenly stood up to speak for Yue Lingjun at this time, and Emperor Daxia wondered if he had any calculations for Yue Lingjun.
Emperor Daxia couldn't help but think of the previous incident of the shadow guard, although the matter of the shadow guard was indeed a little strange, but the Nine Emperor Princes could not say that they were completely unsuspecting.
The Nine Emperors, as a person who once wanted to kill Yue Lingjun, stood up to help Yue Lingjun at this time, and Emperor Daxia really couldn't understand it, so he was silent, not knowing whether he should agree or not.
This move of the Nine Emperor Princes aroused everyone's doubts, but no one would have nothing to do and offend the Nine Emperor Princes at this time, or come out to contradict them.
Yue Lingjun went to the frontier, this is a good thing, and in the end it is also the trend of the times, maybe the emperor lacks such a step, so no one among the civil and military officials stood up to oppose it.
But someone dared, and he was afraid that the emperor would agree to the proposal of the Nine Emperor Princes, so his tone was a little anxious.
"Father, I don't think this matter is appropriate!"
The prince stepped forward.
The people of the prince's party frowned, and no one stood up to say anything while looking at each other.
They are the ones who support the prince, but they don't have the dignity to stop the prince, not to mention, the prince's words have already been spoken, they jumped out to oppose it at this time, didn't it make the people of the Nine Emperors' faction see the joke?
Therefore, even though he was confused and dissatisfied, he didn't say anything, only hoping that the prince wouldn't say anything too much.
The Nine Emperor Princes glanced at the crown prince, and they didn't seem surprised that the other party stood up and contradicted him.
