"Nature." In addition to the same thoughts, it was impossible for Chu Yu to stand on the position of the four princes, let alone regard His Majesty's thoughts as his own.

"There you go."

Shen Hong straightened his clothes and went out, the carriage was ready, he got into the carriage and walked towards the Yuwang Mansion.

The second prince had already prepared the best tea and the precious tea cup in the house, and a beautiful brother beside him invited Shen Hong to come and taste the tea.

Shen Hong sat down, and they talked for a while about this excellent Pu'er, which is produced in the majestic and towering snow-capped mountains, which is precious and scarce, because it absorbs the breath of the snow-capped mountains, the tea is domineering, and there will be a feeling of coolness on the cheeks.

After the brother finished pouring the tea, they had already talked for a while, and the brother retreated, and the second prince talked about today's court affairs.

Obviously, he came to appease Shen Hong.

Shen Hong sighed and didn't say anything.

The second prince said: "My father attaches great importance to this battle, so he will do this." The father and emperor did not know in his heart, and being refuted would only make him more angry, but Chu Yu was a little surprised that Shen Hong would actually say this at this juncture, instead of everything going along with his father.

Shen Hong nodded: "But the people's livelihood is hard, it is the people who suffer from conscription, and it is the people's granary that loses money in raising soldiers." ”

Chu Yu nodded: "Lord Shen is a virtuous minister, and he cares about all the people in his heart. ”

"All this is sad."

"Lord Shen has a few sorrows in his heart, maybe this king can relieve your worries."

Shen Hong smiled faintly and did not speak, and then the topic returned to the tea leaves.

The two of them were playing Tai Chi and chatting as the second prince got up, walked outside, and stood under the porch looking at the scenery outside.

Shen Hong also got up, looking a little touched, and suddenly said: "With this war, Daning will no longer be peaceful, and this war, the situation in the world will change, and Daning will no longer be the Daning of the past." ”

Not only for the common people, but also for them, Xiang Jia has always wanted to fight, because fighting a war is the greatest opportunity for soldiers, and the more battles can be fought, the more military power will be expanded and the greater its influence will be.

Those small countries are honest on the surface, but they may have a nest of snakes and rats behind their backs, and once the influence of the Xiang family expands, the threat of the four princes will become even greater.

What's more, His Majesty suddenly began to waver, in his eyes the second prince is the best king to keep the success, but the war has changed the situation, and it may also change what kind of king Daning needs.

Shen Hong understood this, he didn't need to say it too clearly, the second prince would also understand.

In the process, they have to grasp something, or do something before the war is completely settled and the situation is completely changed.

In short, His Majesty can no longer be trusted.

Shen Hong looked at Chu Yu, and the two exchanged a look, silently without speaking.

At the border, letters were delivered by the post post today, and things were brought from all over the place to be distributed in the camp, and they all waited with their eyes to see if there were any letters from their own homes.

Erzhu was a rare literate warm-hearted person in the barracks, and every now and then there would be a circle of old men around his bed, waiting for him to read the letter.

Erzhu estimated in his heart that his New Year's letter should also come, and it was not easy to send something, sometimes it took a month or two in between, and he didn't know what to do, so he was delayed.

It didn't take long for everyone to show off, and whoever received the letter and the thing again had to take it out and show off, shaking whether it was written by his mother or the daughter-in-law at home.

Erzhu is very proud and proud every time he arrives at this time, because he always has letters, one or two pages of other people's letters, and his letters are three or four pages casually, which have many greetings to him, and today he was given winter clothes, he took off the old cotton clothes on his body, shook them off and put them on his body, and the buddy next to him immediately said: "You have new clothes to wear, and if you don't want the old ones, just say that I can wear them." ”

Erzhu nodded: "It's not worn out yet, you just wait, my family's mind, how can it be given to others before it is broken." ”

"If you say this, the fourth child will turn into a rat and bite holes in your clothes at night!"

Erzhu didn't bother to care about them, so he stretched the clothes on his body: "This clothes are so energetic, and the craftsmanship of my family is really good." ”

His clothes were untied, they were open, and he pulled the sides apart, revealing his pockets, and he won the envy of the wow.

Erzhu shook and shook his clothes, showed off and showed, and touched the fabric lovingly.

They were so envious that they knew that Erzhu's family was an embroidery workshop and often made clothes, and that other people wore tattered and tattered armor, and that there were two of them all year round, a thin set and a thick one, but Erzhu had new clothes to wear every quarter, and every few days he had to go to a lake to take a bath and change his clothes.

He said that his family taught him this way, and he was used to it, and he would feel uncomfortable not taking a bath for too long.

Although he was at the same grassroots level, Erzhu's personality was very bold and rough and unruly, and his courage was also very strong, killing the enemy army was like chopping cabbage, and when he returned to the barracks, he sat on the bed and chatted with everyone, and he did not have the frame of the deputy captain at all, and he was always neatly dressed, and he had to take a bath every five or six days.

A group of big men did not pay attention to it, and they sat down on the bed without taking off their shoes, and began to read the letters separately or wait in line to read them.

He didn't really want to go to Beijing at all, but he wanted to go to his family in Beijing, and he couldn't tell how he felt this way, and he didn't know how to express in words his former disambition and hesitation, and his thoughts about his family and his disgust for going to Beijing were all in his heart, but when he saw the letter, he still felt that he missed that place, the streets they walked, the restaurants they ate, and the roads they ran in a hurry.

But it was just a little sad, Erzhu wiped his tears, and soon he got better, and then began to read letters to others.

These letters are very jerky, many of them are written with the help of Xiucai, written in crepe, the beginning is, my son personally enlightened, will serve the country, the mother is worried, at home worried about sleepless nights, Erzhu looked at it seriously, and then raised his head.

"Your mother says he misses you, and sometimes at home she thinks of you and she is so worried that she can't sleep at night."

Two pillars in one sentence Throw it out.

But there are also a lot of outrageous things, and Erzhu feels that he has also learned a lot in his life of reading letters.

"Well, your daughter-in-law said that he misses you so hard that he can't sleep, and wants you to go back quickly." Erzhu was so frightened that he was embarrassed to continue reading, and a group of people looked at the soldier with envy.

"And then." Erzhu's expression gradually became puzzled: "Your daughter-in-law said that he dreamed of you at night, and dreamed that you went home and slept with her. ”

"Wow !!" A group of people continued to get excited.

"He said it was probably because he went to the Bodhisattva in a dream and wanted to have a child, and you had fellowship in the dream, and then he is now pregnant."

All the soldiers looked at each other, and the voices that wanted to make a coax were blocked in their throats: "......"

Erzhu raised his eyes.

"Our old Wang family, finally have a queen!"

Erzhu suddenly thought of what Lin Piao and Shen Hong had taught him, as well as what Ergou said, why bother with some things, sighed in a tone, did not speak, and continued to read the next letter.

The things were divided into the back, and the next day, they found that the battalion commander of the barracks had also received the same clothes as Erzhu, so they were a little suspicious, and the battalion commander also shuddered, saying that this clothes were called homecoming clothes, and his family specially sent them to him.

This battalion commander has a good family background, although he does not say anything about the powerful family, but he is also from Shangjing, and in this way, everyone knows that the original Erzhu's family not only runs an embroidery workshop, but also his family's embroidery workshop in Beijing, and they are even more envious.

After Erzhu learned the name, he was even more excited: "My family made it!" This is called homecoming, you know?! I'm going to kill the moon and go home in this outfit. ”

When he came to the border, the first confrontation he encountered was with the Yuebu, who plundered their city and dragged the women and their brothers behind horses like cattle, and there was a miserable scene inside, and the streets were covered with thin traces of blood.

But it was precisely because of their actions that he and his brothers had the opportunity to catch up and snatch back all the people of Daning and all the food and goods they had stolen, and added eleven heads.

He felt a little disgusted by the matter of bringing the head, but he did not hesitate, he felt that if he did not bring the head back, he would not be able to calm the pain and resentment in everyone's hearts, which was not terrible for the people in the invaded city, and it was a good medicine for their hearts.

Spring has begun, and the cold of spring will only get colder.

Erzhu tightened the clothes on his body, and when he thought of those people in Shangjing, his heart ironed again.

If he earns military merits and goes back, he will be able to protect everyone, be everyone's reliance, and help Shen Hong a little.

Chapter 148

The beginning of spring is busy, Yueming is up and down, to make spring hairpins and clothes, Lin Piao reviewed the general style and there is nothing he needs to do, just waiting for the news from the border, hoping that Erzhu can be better at the border.

However, Lin Piao also knew that this idea was unrealistic, and that the border gates were about to become a mess, and when the news reached Shangjing, the people in Shangjing could not tell what was going on, but they just said that the Yuebu was really hateful, and that all of them were brutes.

Shen Hong came back and told him something in detail, saying that the relationship between the Yuebu and the Xianbei Yuwen Department suddenly improved, and he also took Xiliang, although it was not as close as a mother's compatriots, but they were also watching each other, and there was a feeling that the new and old hatreds between the various ethnic groups and Daning were about to break out during this time, and the record was also won and defeated, and the Yuebu even wanted to break through the border and impact the territory of Daning, which caused the emperor to be angry and completely gave up the meaning of Huairou and peace talks. Or to be a slave, and now they are all killed, and they are not allowed to live half of their mouths.

According to Shen Hong, Shen Hong received the news that the situation on the border was already very tragic, and both sides were enraged, you kill my side, I will kill your side, the more you kill, the more anxious you are, every time you fight, you are dead and alive, once one side is defeated and reduced to a prisoner, you can kill the local yellow sand stained red.

In short, the border has somehow turned into a hellish sight.

Lin Piao listened to these news, and his heart gasped, of course he could understand this situation, after all, slapping each other can be anxious, not to mention killing each other, he is in a stable place in Shangjing, listening to the story of the border, the completely different situations on both sides are like two divided worlds.

In the spring of Beijing, the drizzle is drizzling, although the weather is still cold, but the spring breeze is gusting, the playful children have begun to take their paper kites and start flying kites on the street, and there are also noble women who are privately invited, because of the frequent wars, they dare not be extravagant, but there are also carriages waiting, maids and maids waiting, more than a dozen snacks and fruits, and good spring tea, and their low-key is only the reduced frame and the number of people accompanying them, and they are not so gorgeously dressed.

The war on the border did not reach the bustling Shangjing, and every day in the restaurant, there were men who talked about the border war, and they could talk for two hours with a pot of wine and a large plate of pickled pepper rabbits.

And the most tormented person is the second aunt, everyone said that they want their son to join the army, to kill the Yuebu to the bust, let him serve Daning at the border, only the second aunt is not very blown, because her son is really at the border, really kill the Chuyue Bu, really serve Daning at the border, she is worried that it will be too late, as soon as the war is serious, she is afraid in her heart, where can she go out to brag.

Lin Piao accompanied her to grab a few calming medicines, and basically fried a bowl before going to bed every day, and then fell asleep after drinking, otherwise the second aunt would always not sleep well at night.

"Piao'er, I dreamed of Erzhu, the blood is stabbing and whistling, it's scary to look at." Recently, the second aunt has been thinking about the day and dreaming at night, always dreaming of Erzhu, and her mental condition is a little bad, and she has not been to Tongxi Lou for the past two days, and her heart to make money is weak.

"Dreams are all reversed, I think about it every day and dream at night, it's my aunt, you're too worried about Erzhu in your heart."

"I didn't dream of anything, he didn't do anything, he just had a lot of blood on his clothes, he was walking around in one place, and there were a lot of people around him, but I couldn't see clearly, so I saw him walking around in it, and it was really weird, and those people greeted him, and he replied with a smile, and he didn't know where he was feeling."

Lin Piao is not very easy to talk about this, in case the family is a mother and son.

"Anyway, it's okay, it's rough at the border, it's okay if he's dirty, let's ask someone to send him some clothes, so that he can change and wash more."

The second aunt nodded, but found a new direction of sustenance and went to prepare a new wave of autumn clothes for Erzhu.

Is it really going to be good this year?

After Lin Piao finished persuading her second aunt, she walked out of her room and went into the courtyard to look at the blue sky, the sky in Beijing was always so blue, and the city horizon was filled with clouds, and the sky was always clean.

This piece of heaven is the heaven of Daning for nearly two hundred years.

In the era of change, life seems to be stable, but there is a sense of uncertainty, although the war is far away, but because there is a family over there, it is like a line to transmit all the feelings over there, so that Lin Piao has a feeling that they are little people are swept by the times, and the seemingly stable life will be shaken at any time.

But when I came back to my senses and looked at the sky over there, it was still good above my head, Tongxilou was still making money in the day, Yuemingfang's spring limited gold was hard to find, and Shen Hong was still mixing well in the court, and these things were all safe and secure on the ground.

At noon, Lin Piao asked the kitchen to prepare a table of good dishes, and then prepared spring cakes, and carried out a big action to bite the spring.

With the largest light cyan broken porcelain carved plate used to make the spring plate, the color is appropriate to the occasion and refreshing, loaded with five-color vegetables, are the freshest stubble that has just come out in the spring season, green wisps of red silk, and with some onions and garlic fresh water tender small wild vegetables and other things, get together to eat a fresh.

Everyone sat together, eating the vegetables and rolling the spring cakes according to their own taste, this step should have been done by the maids next to them, they only had to point to what they wanted to eat, but they really couldn't stand the ink, and it was better to point and eat it directly into their mouths for a long time.

After lunch, the dishes were withdrawn, and several people sat together to drink tea, Shen Hong spoke very little today, even if he himself did not talk much, today's words were still too few, and now the news of the border war came from time to time, and everyone immediately became sensitive, thinking that there was any new news coming from time to time, so they knocked on the side and asked.

Shen Hong said: "It's not the border, it's that it hasn't rained in the south for many days, and it was only reported today. ”

Lin Piao was a little surprised: "How come?" It's so good that it doesn't rain, how can we live in spring? "Now there is no irrigation project, as long as the days without rain are long, it will go straight into drought.

"It is said that it only rained a little on the day of the beginning of spring, and there was no rain before and after, and on the day of the beginning of spring, there was a thin drizzle, and it was said that the spring rain was as expensive as oil, and it was gone after only a layer of soil."

"Then what is the emperor going to do?"

Shen Hong was silent for a moment, what could the emperor do? The emperor didn't understand this, so naturally he asked the courtiers below, who were busy fighting and intriguing, who wanted to care about this matter? If it was a human business, it would be fine, but if it didn't rain, they didn't want to take care of it, and they couldn't take care of it, so they said to the emperor very respectfully.

"Your Majesty, Daning is blessed by the heavens, but it hasn't rained for a while, and it hasn't affected anything so far.

When the emperor heard this, he nodded again and again.

Shen Hong said the reaction of the ministers and the emperor, everyone was a little confused, if it wasn't anything else, although the second aunt and Uncle Qiu felt that something was wrong, it was quite reasonable.
