Looking up and pondering for a while, Shen Tianming said eloquently: "That battle was initiated by Da Liang, and since he finally retreated, it means that the purpose of my father is not territory. Yan Bi also paid attention to Father-in-law Ling's expression, "It's not for the territory, then there is only one possibility, it's for something, or someone." ”

Father-in-law Ling's eyelids jumped, and he lowered his head even lower, the first emperor had told that the palace was not allowed to discuss this matter again, and all the relevant personnel had to keep their mouths shut, even Bai Jin was a little taboo about this matter.

"Looks like I've guessed my eyebrows." Shen Tianming was in a good mood, and then continued, "Since it is for something tangible, then why didn't General Bai Jin bring it back, there may be thousands of reasons for this, but I think the most convincing one is that that thing can't be brought back." ”

"What is it that made my father's strength to raise troops and finally return disappointed, Father-in-law Ling, I have no way of knowing, I can only ask you to tell me."

Father-in-law Ling bent over and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, the first emperor has an order, this matter must not be mentioned again, that thing in Xiliang has a curse, it is not something we can get, otherwise the first emperor will not stop, Your Majesty listens to the old slave's advice, don't delve into this matter anymore." ”

"Oh?" Shen Tianming tilted his head, "In this case, I am more interested, maybe the people of my father's generation believe in the curse of heaven or something, I live in the people, I am good at medicine, everything in the world is related to cause and effect, and I just want to find out the grievances of the previous generation, and I have no interest in Xiliang's treasure, after all, Bai Shuo and they are about to return to Beijing, I want to see if it has anything to do with that incident." ”

"Your Majesty, you ...... Alas. ”

Shen Tianming never asked him for anything, but he was worried about this matter.

After hesitating again and again, Father-in-law Ling was finally willing to speak: "When the first emperor was still alive, there were rumors of elixir in Xiliang, and the kings of many surrounding countries were quite interested in this thing, and sent envoys to visit again and again, but no matter how many people were sent by the surrounding small countries, they were stopped by the king of Xiliang, and said to the outside world that Xiliang did not have this medicine at all, but found a rare meat Ganoderma lucidum, whose medicinal effect is overbearing, only this one, because it is precious, it has been misrepresented by the world." ”

Shen Tianming's eyes were like hooks, and he listened carefully.

"Although King Xiliang personally came forward to clarify, everyone didn't believe that immortality was what the kings of the past generations wanted, so the first emperor became greedy and ordered the Bai family army to take this meat lingzhi over."

Hearing this, Shen Tianming couldn't help but sneer disdainfully: "What kind of immortality, there is no such thing in the world, if that meat lingzhi really has a miraculous effect, why doesn't King Xiliang take it himself, will he wait for others to grab it?" ”

"Yes, such a simple reason, the first emperor was stunned and couldn't figure it out, and then Daliang raised troops to attack Xiliang, just to ask for medicine, after the king of Xiliang died in battle, no one knew the whereabouts of the meat Ganoderma lucidum, there were rumors that the Lingzhi had been eaten by the royal family, but at that time, the Bai family army only cared about chasing the king of Xiliang, and the whereabouts of the princess and son of Xiliang were unknown, so they gave up."

Shen Tianming narrowed his eyes: "Just because you can't find the princess and the princess, you gave up?" Doesn't it mean that there is some curse left. ”

"Yes, yes, this is also the main reason for the first emperor's retreat, I heard that although the people who got the meat lingzhi themselves can live forever, but this immortality is at the cost of the lives of the people around them, once the meat lingzhi is taken by the people, none of the people around him are spared, how can the emperor lack the support of the courtiers, after thinking twice, the first emperor will retire."

In fact, it is enough to lack virtue if you think about it, kill the king of others, occupy other people's territory, and finally pat your ass and leave, no wonder Xiliang will make a comeback and seek revenge from Daliang.

"I didn't expect my father to do such a ridiculous thing, if he hadn't coveted that meat lingzhi, the relationship between Xiliang and Daliang would not have been so stiff."

Gonggong Ling nodded in response: "Yes, the first emperor knew that he was wrong, so he blocked this matter and could not be discussed, for fear that there would be other dignitaries and nobles who coveted the meat Ganoderma lucidum in the future and committed irreparable mistakes." ”

This kind of pediatric strategy is especially a long-term solution, even if the people don't talk about it, the behavior of the first emperor will be despised by the nobles.

"That's it, although it's wrong, but after all, he is my father and the first emperor of Daliang, I won't ask you about this matter in the future, so don't mention it again."

"The old slave obeys." Father-in-law Ling breathed a sigh of relief, but he could be regarded as surviving.

"Eaten by the Xiliang royal family...... Princess Anning ......" Shen Tianming muttered a few words while pondering, some things have always been dusty, and once they are opened, they will be out of control.

The Liang army finally returned to the capital, and this time the whole country toasted together, and Shen Tianming arranged a grand welcoming ceremony outside the imperial city.

Everyone is proud of Bai Jiajun, and they are also proud of Bai Shuo's first time as coach.

Lu Tianhui and Su Qingyan have special identities, and the palace people led them all the way to a palace.

"Your Majesty said, let the general and the princess live in the palace for the time being, and when they are officially knighted and conferred on the official in the coming day, they will arrange a mansion for the general in the capital."

Shen Tianming's arrangement was decent, and Su Qingyan was very satisfied.

"For me, it's just a transfer from one palace to another, and the princess hall in Xiliang is as big as here."

"Here, be careful." Lu Tianhui jumped out of the carriage and stretched out his hand to gently pick people down, "It's also the first time I've lived in the palace, you're pregnant now, it's better not to move." ”

"It's so expensive." Su Qingyan held her stomach and smiled beautifully, "Pregnant women still need to move more, when I was pregnant with Wanwan, I often walked in the garden with rhubarb, and we haven't met Your Majesty yet, when we settle down, we have to meet people." ”

"yes, I know."

Su Qingyan hadn't seen Shen Tianming for a year and a half, and when the two met again, their identities were no longer the people of Chuanling Town.

"Brother Alin, you're finally back!" As an emperor, Shen Tianming will only put an emperor in front of Lu Tianhui, he and Lu Tianhui are still the same as when they were children, calling each other's names, there is no Jieyue.

"This battle has been fought for so long, the casualties on the border are vivid, and Chuanling Town has not recovered, if the battle is not stopped, I am afraid that the people over there will not come back."

Shen Tianming nodded and sighed, standing at the highest point overlooking everything, everyone knew the devastation: "If you want to restore the war zone to a civilian area, I don't know how many years it will take." ”

Their intention to retreat and return to Beijing is obvious, that is, they want to stop the war and make peace, both Xiliang and Daliang have been hit hard, and there is no need to spend it any longer.

Su Qingyan followed behind the man, his hands were level on his chest, and he saluted, "Meet Your Majesty." ”

Shen Tianming glanced up, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be a sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be Princess Xiliang." ”

Su Qingyan pursed her lips, smiled awkwardly and followed his words: "The matter of identity came suddenly, and I didn't expect that you would be the prince." ”

Lu Tianhui was a little embarrassed in the middle, his brother and daughter-in-law all had vests, he was a complete commoner, and it was also a godsend to be able to get involved with these noble people.

"I heard that the new King of Xiliang is dead, not long ago, someone in Lu Xingcheng handed a letter of surrender to Daliang in the name of the royal family, and my sister-in-law is Princess Xiliang, do you know about this?"
