"Thank you, Mr. Ling." Great, at least there is a chance to meet my father.

After half a ring, Father-in-law Ling walked out of the palace with a smile, personally stepped forward to help Shen Tianming, who was kneeling on the ground, and said kindly: "Fifth Highness, don't kneel badly, Your Majesty agrees with you, go in quickly." ”

"Really? That's great. ”

Inside the Chengqian Palace, the windows and doors were closed, and the light was much dimmer than outside, as soon as Shen Tianming entered the hall, his eyes were not adaptable, and it felt no different from being suddenly locked in a small black room.

"Father." Shen Tianming blinked, couldn't find his bearing, and shouted indiscriminately.

Suddenly, a candle lit in the direction of the desk, the emperor shook the fire armor in his hand, the old face was wrinkled and sealed under the candlelight, Shen Tianming's heart trembled, the emperor who had not seen him for many days, his hair was grayer, and his back was more rickety.

"Father?"

"You're here." The emperor sat at the dim desk with a book in his hand, squinting his eyes and looking at it, the only candle in the hall was lit because Shen Tianming came over.

Shen Tianming followed the light and walked over, and his eyes gradually adapted to the light in the hall: "Father, why don't you order a few more gambling candles when you read books?" ”

The emperor smiled faintly: "It's not in the way, it's not in the way, it's not the middle of the night, what are you doing with so many candles." Then he put down the book and asked in a hoarse voice, "What is important to you that you insist on seeing me today?" ”

If there was nothing important, he would not have risked being punished to see the emperor.

"Father, the son returned from the barracks, as a military doctor in the camp to see a lot of wounded soldiers and dead soldiers, although the battle of Songcheng has the help of the Bai family army and the king of Chu, but we must not underestimate the enemy, a month ago the king of Chu has sent a letter asking the father to send troops to help, why did the father delay the order, is it because he thinks that General Bai Jin can lead the army and survive this catastrophe?"

The emperor snickered, he has been living in Chengqian Palace with the snail for the past few days, but he still sees the twists and turns of the court every day, and the battle is such a big thing, and the guys on the side of the military department are extremely bad.

"I know that today's Xiliang is not the Xiliang of that time, they are revenge, not afraid of bloodshed, not afraid of death, although Bai Jin is the general of Zhenguo, but after all, he is old, Bai Shuo is still young, inexperienced, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes in the war to cause defeat, I also want to send reinforcements to help as soon as possible, but ......" Shen Tianming was puzzled, sending reinforcements, just a matter of the emperor's words, is there anything to hesitate about?

"Just what?"

The emperor sighed, glanced at him meaningfully, and said sadly: "When the king of Qi was still alive, many people in the court said that he should lead the reinforcements to Songcheng, and now that the king of Qi is gone, those guys turned their heads and said that you should bring reinforcements forward, I have lost a son, and the king of Chu is still on the front line." For the sake of the so-called momentum, they even wanted to send my son out, so I avoided people and looked upset. ”

That's how it is...... When Bai Jin went out on the expedition before, he had already taken away a large number of troops in the capital, and most of the troops who are still stationed in the capital are guards, and the guards will not be transferred out unless there is a major incident.

If you want to mobilize the guards to support, you have to pay a little, which is what the guys in the military department want.

Asking him to bring troops to aid is not impossible.

Shen Tianming kowtowed, and said with a straight face: "Father, if the Erchen leads the troops to go is the general trend, it is not impossible, I escaped from the hands of the Xiliang army, it was the King of Chu who took me in Songcheng, for me, it is just to return to the barracks again, as long as this battle can be fought, what is these red tape." ”

"No! Ahem...... "The emperor coughed anxiously.

"Father?

"You can't go...... the emperor held back his eyes, and he had to flip over from the table and grab him, "I finally got you back, how could I let you go to such a dangerous place." ”

He can understand the emperor's beloved son's feelings, but Shen Tianming was not raised by the emperor himself after all, and he still has an obsession with his former relatives.

"The Xiliang people slaughtered my township and killed my adoptive father, I keep these hatreds in my heart, even if I recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, my sons are not willing to stay in Beijing, I must watch the Xiliang people roll out of the Daliang realm with my own eyes, father, you just let me go."

"You...... Ahem! The emperor clutched his chest, his brows furrowed, and he looked very uncomfortable.

"Father, how are you?" Shen Tianming rushed up to support him, and the emperor's avoidance of people was not only a matter of reinforcements, but because of the King of Qi, his health was getting worse and worse, which was worse for him.

"Amo, do you understand your father's intentions, you are a descendant of the middle palace, your status is noble, and you have the responsibility of inheriting the country in the future, if you have an accident on the front line, how do you let your father, a person who has been cut off half of the earth, deal with yourself, you have suffered outside for so many years, your father has not been able to raise you well, take care of you, just want to stay by your father's side for the next time, ..... "Those people in the court, now they are saying that they want you to bring troops to support, but Songcheng can't delay it, even if I don't agree, I have to send troops over, There are many military generals who are suitable for leading the team in the DPRK, so there is no need to worry about these. ”

The emperor held Shen Tianming's hand, this was the only son he left behind, and all his obsessions were on the other party.

"Ah Mo, you can stay in the palace with peace of mind and stay with your father, okay?"

The emperor's burning and concerned eyes could not be hidden, Shen Tianming had already lost a father, and he was indeed not mentally prepared to welcome the death of another father.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Tianming was ruthless and said firmly: "Father, no matter whether the court asks the king of Qi or his sons to lead troops, you should not delay the time to send troops. ”

In the decision-making of this matter, the emperor could not deny that he was too rash.

"My father knows that what I did is wrong, after all, the people are innocent, the soldiers are innocent, but my father doesn't want to lose you."

"Father won't lose me!" Shen Tianming argued, "There are my best friends in the military camp, as well as the King of Chu and General Bai, I can't watch them wait and be annihilated by Xiliang in the end. ”

Shen Tianming took two steps back, and his mind was decided: "Please also ask my father to give an order and send his sons to lead troops to support." ”

Having said so much and saying so much, can't you still convince him?

The emperor was so sympathetic that he couldn't suppress Shen Tianming's desire to return to the battlefield.

"Have you really figured it out?" sighed lightly, sighing out the sadness of an old father, "The two countries are at war, and they can't be fought in three or five years, the battlefield is dangerous, and I really don't want you to go." ”

The father and son had just met each other, and before they got along well, they were about to experience separation, and Shen Tianming himself was also very sad.

"Father, rest assured, there is no shortage of brave and good soldiers on the battlefield, and they will come forward to kill them in blood, but the military medicine skills are limited, and the sons can only help in this aspect, and ask the father to complete it."

Today, Shen Tianming will ask for this matter to the emperor, someone must be beating, today does not agree, there will be tomorrow, the emperor, as the king of a country, will delay the matter of reinforcements, and the people will also talk about it.

"Okay." In the end, the emperor relented, "Since you have thought it through, then I will not stop it, and tomorrow I will make a decree to let the guards of the capital be the reinforcements for this time, and then select a few capable generals to escort you to Songcheng." ”

After all the hardships, everything will turn around.
