But Shen Nianyi's words also have his truth, the Empress Dowager even knows him better than the emperor, without exact affirmation, he will not say it so meticulously, presumably he has also thought it through, and it is inevitable.

Thinking about it this way, the Empress Dowager tried to take a few breaths, and she understood very well that when it was critical, she could not be rash, she had assisted three generations of monarchs, and her experience was no less than anyone else's, and even the night before the succession, she had already imagined all the unbearable, dark and fighting, just like Shen Nianyi's words, she still did not expect that the number of evil parties who came would be so large.

Although I have never seen it in person, I have heard a lot of truth from the mouths of those survivors, those people came in the night, it was like a black tide, wave after wave, killing all and more, killing all and more.

Assuming that what Shen Nianyi said is true, then the Empress Dowager shuddered: "Shen Zhengqing means that someone deliberately set up this bureau?" ”

Shen Nian nodded: "It seems to be the case at present. ”

"If the military report is true, who will be held responsible?" The Empress Dowager suddenly laughed, her smile was short and sharp, "Even the mourning family can't resist this responsibility, Shen Zhengqing can?" ”

"Wechen can try." As soon as Shen Nianyi's words came out, there was silence in the room again.

Yin Zhi felt that there were two people in front of him, one was his grandmother, the current empress dowager, and the other was Zhengqing of Dali Temple, the right-hand man of the first emperor, and the conversation between the two seemed to have excluded him.

The responsibility comes out, the result is undecided, there must be someone to take it, the empress dowager is too obviously trying to put the burden on Shen Nianyi, he is not a person in the army at all, and he has no experience in leading troops to fight, such a person, no matter how good his skills in individual combat are, no matter how superb his martial arts are, he can save his life at most when he goes to the front line, so what's the use?

The Empress Dowager stared at Shen Nianyi's face tightly: "Shen Zhengqing, do you know what you're talking about?" ”

"Yes, Weichen understands what he's talking about." Shen Nianyi was unusually calm, if the previous idea made him need to wait patiently for twelve hours, and then he was pushed down again, he felt that he had committed an unforgivable sin, he misled the emperor, and those military reports themselves were a great trap.

"You mean, if the military report is true, you will be responsible?" The Empress Dowager smiled instead of being angry, "The lives of the people are miserable, and the people are not happy, you are responsible?" ”

Shen Nianyi didn't answer her question, these are not questions that need answers, these are just the fears in the heart of the Empress Dowager, the war that has been a little far away, he still has heard of it, Dali Temple itself contains the case files of all the major events of this dynasty, after he entered the court, almost all of them have been seen and remembered.

How could he forget such a tragic battle?

He walked straight to the emperor, respectfully knelt down and pleaded: "Although Weichen has no experience in leading troops to fight, he is also a little familiar with the art of war, if the emperor trusts Weichen, please allocate 500 men and horses to Weichen, set off overnight, rushed to the border pass, and met with General Ning." ”

"What did you say?" Yin Zhi almost thought that his ears were broken, Shen Nianyi was forced by the Empress Dowager, or he already had a plan in his heart, he actually asked for orders to go to the battlefield, a Dali Temple Zhengqing asked for orders to go to the battlefield!

"What Weichen wants to say has been made clear, please ask the emperor to allocate five hundred men and horses, it really can't work, three hundred can also be used, light cavalry on the road overnight, Weichen has already calculated, it will arrive at least two days earlier than the army." Shen Nianyi raised his face and faced the emperor, his face was calm, there was no so-called arrogance at all, he was thinking about Zhou Ming's decision.

"Why?" Yin Zhi asked again.

"Because Weichen believes in General Ning's ability, he has been stationed at the border pass for many years, and he can't say that he has hit every shot, at least nine times out of ten, how can such an experienced general allow his subordinates to be defeated and retreat, how can he allow the army to be defeated on the battlefield of life and death, but I also know that there must be other changes at the border pass, otherwise it is impossible, the emperor can only receive those forged military reports."

The military newspaper did exactly the same as the real thing, but Shen Nianyi was already able to confirm that it was forged, forged fire paint, forged handwriting, and forged content.

Thinking of Ningxiasheng's ability, almost the glory of the god of war, the emperor and the empress dowager were very tacitly silent, if you are calm, it is indeed impossible to think about it, the soldiers and horses of the Shun Heavenly Kingdom have not doubled and increased dramatically, even the generals have not been replaced, there is no possibility of losing, even if it is 10,000 steps back and not listening, even if it is lost, it cannot be lost so miserably.

"So, you know that the military report is fake, and you still have to go to the border to take a look for yourself?"

Shen Nianyi still has a reason not to explain, Liangzhao Mountain is also nearby, his parents have lost the news of entering the mountain for too long, and even the first emperor is dying, the promise given to him at that time can still be calculated accurately, if you can go to the border in person once, first, you can know what happened there, and second, you can find out the whereabouts of your parents.

"In that case." Yin has not been approved by the Empress Dowager again, since his grandmother has always refused to speak out, it is already a kind of acquiescence, but he has just come with such a momentum, and he must also want to find a step to get down, he thought about it and asked, "What does grandmother think?" I listened to Shen Zhengqing's words, it made a lot of sense, General Ning would not lose to those generals of the Shun Heavenly Kingdom, otherwise in the past ten years, where would the Tiandu City come from to be quiet and peaceful, singing and dancing. ”

"So what does the emperor mean that he promised to give him five hundred men and horses?" The Empress Dowager coughed rather unnaturally.

"I don't have five hundred men on my hands, at least not tonight." What Yin has answered so far is also the truth, it is not that he can't be mobilized, but in the dead of night, he can't be mobilized, but he knows that who still has it in his hands has the ability to decide.

The Empress Dowager thought for a moment, flipped her palm, and when she spread it out again, there was a small jade plaque in her palm: "There are no five hundred light horses, but no more than three hundred." ”

Yin Zhi took it cautiously: "Thank you grandmother for making it complete." ”

The Empress Dowager snorted, and had no intention of continuing to stay: "In this matter, the mourning family is doing their best, I hope Shen Zhengqing will never let the mourning family disappoint and disappoint the emperor." ”

"Wechen did everything he could." Shen Nianyi replied in a low voice.

"Very well, you should remember what you said tonight and do your best." The Empress Dowager turned and walked away.

Shen Nianyi was still maintaining Fang Cai's posture, and Yin Zhi's hand had already landed firmly on his shoulder: "Shen Zhengqing, what are you waiting for, this is the Empress Dowager's personal guards, you take it on the road, I am waiting for your good news here." ”

Shen Nianyi slowly got up and said, "Weichen, thank you for the emperor's trust." ”

"It's just that you said you want 500 centaurs, and there are only 300 centaurs here." Yin still didn't know what he thought, his face became very strange, Shen Nianyi first said that it was indeed five hundred people, and then changed his words to say three hundred, these three hundred, and the three hundred in the hands of the Empress Dowager, Shen Nianyi was planning at the beginning of the three hundred personal soldiers in the hands of the Empress Dowager!

If this is the case, the two of them were talking secretly in the imperial study, and the Empress Dowager suddenly rushed over angrily, and it was also in Shen Nianyi's grasp?

Shen Nian saw that the emperor's face was cloudy, and coughed lightly: "It is not surprising that the emperor has someone by his side, the queen mother is also for the emperor's safety, and it is natural for grandmother to worry about her grandson." ”

Such a sentence is tantamount to admitting.

"Who is it?" Yin Zhi asked in a deep voice, who was the person sent by his grandmother, he had the right to know, if even Shen Nianyi knew it, he didn't want to be buried in the dark, wouldn't it seem that he would always be behind.

"It's Gonggong Shi under Gonggong Yang." used to be a small sand and a small stone, but the master gained momentum, which of the people in the palace is not snobbish, and they don't follow behind him to make a good sound, besides, it is also a person who follows the emperor from the circle road, and his identity and worth are very different from other fathers-in-law.

"It turned out to be him." Yin Zhi smiled slightly and said, yes, these two little eunuchs are following Yang Gonggong, and they have been around since he entered the circle road, if one of them is the empress dowager's person, it is not too much to say, if you only think about it on the good side, it is what Shen Nian said, and the empress dowager also wants to protect him.

When he was in the circle, he was still her grandson, and it was really a natural thing for a grandmother to put a talisman next to her grandson.

"How long have you been around?"

"It won't be long." When the emperor was locked up in the encirclement road, he naturally would not find anything, life there was boring and boring, but the empress dowager suddenly asked out loud when she made the last critical choice, in fact, she already had the most suitable candidate in her heart, the first emperor from the day the emperor was locked in the encirclement road, he had made detailed arrangements and systematic training, if such a son who had poured the emperor's hard work could not succeed to the throne, then who else could be more competent.

Shen Nian strode out, his back was extremely resolute and decisive, without a trace of hesitation, and the emperor understood very well that taking three hundred people to the border pass alone, in the case of the situation that was completely unpredictable, how difficult and unpredictable it would be, and what situation was waiting for him on the battlefield at the border pass, no one could say.

"Shen Zhengqing!" The emperor suddenly shouted.

"Wechen is here." Shen Nianyi's fingers had already touched the door.

"I'm waiting for your return." This sentence is sincere, just like what Shen Nianyi did.

"Thank you for your trust." Shen Nianyi didn't stop, he walked out of the door of the imperial study, and walked extremely fast, almost without a foot, the time that could be left for him was really not much, and his previous judgment error made him waste a few hours in vain.

Of course, it can't be regarded as a waste, at least, he also met Shining side.

He had no way to say goodbye to Shining, it was too late.
