In the first month of this year, the emperor's capital and nobles suffered two successive funerals, which greatly reduced the festive atmosphere.
Wei Shengyi's middle-aged death of his wife is not enough. It's just a courtier. Just follow the rules. However, the death of the Empress Dowager Ji made the whole imperial capital sink into the undercurrent.
After coming back from King Ji's condolence, Mrs. Su went into the upper room and waved back, leaving only mother Tao to wait on her - the door was closed, and Mrs. Su hated the case very much and said with gnashing teeth, "bitch Deng! How dare Ann deceive my Shen family! "
Mother Tao comforted: "madam, please take a rest. His royal highness Ji Wang is pure filial. Now he is also concealed from the drum. If your highness knew the inside story, would it be used by the Deng family? "
Mrs. Su sneered and said, "what do you know? King Ji has always been obedient to empress dowager Wang. At the beginning, the two maids sent by the servants coaxed King King Ji to leave Xiuer alone. He even listened to the words of two concubines who were not on the table and doubted Xiuer was not virtuous! But the Empress Dowager gave the two concubines to others with only one admonition! Although I am grateful to the queen mother in this matter, later Xiuer still went home, and I specially warned her - the influence of the queen mother on her husband Very big! "
"You think now Queen Mother Wang died of illness. It happened that she died suddenly. In addition to being greatly moved by Deng's words, she planned to fight for a chance for her son to stay in Beijing to replace the prince with her own death, what else could it be?" Mrs. Su bit her lips and said, "since the queen mother has made such a decision, even though she was worried about Ji Wang's refusal and didn't tell him, wouldn't she leave a letter or a message to let Ji Wang live up to her wishes?"
"there are many heirs of God. The mother of the prince is empress, and the Royal Highness Princess of Qingxin." Mrs. Su sneered and said, "what about King Ji? Since I was 16 years old, I have gone to the fiefdom with my mother. I don't even have the chance to come back once a year! According to the description of Deng family, the mother and the son What a fool! "
Mother Tao didn't know what Shen Cangfeng had reported to Shen Xuan. She was just worried that her son-in-law would be involved in the whirlpool of taking the reserve. At that time, Shen cangxiu, the second daughter, would not be able to get rid of the Shen family. So she suggested, "maybe my wife could find an opportunity to talk with the second daughter and let the second daughter talk to his highness King Ji?"
"Who doesn't want that position? Even if queen Ji and King Ji have said that, I'm afraid King Ji may not have heard it. " At the same time, in the study in the front yard, Shen Xuan narrowed his eyes, stroked his beard and listened to the discussion of his staff.
The person who said this sentence was only in his twenties. He was handsome and tall, with a cynical look on his eyes and brows. It was the chief of staff Shen Cangfeng had personally recruited. He casually took the tea cover and skimmed the tea foam, saying, "what's more, how can a woman in the backyard talk? Especially such a big event! So I don't think it will help if I tell queen Ji about it. Maybe it's easy to get out of the way. I'd rather not talk about it! "
"That's a bad word for Le mu." An old aide shook his head and objected, "isn't Princess Deng a woman? But it's because of the imperial concubine! Can Mr. lemu despise the power of women? I suggest that queen Ji persuade King Ji to get away from it first. If King Ji persists, then I will take care of it! "
They had different opinions, but Shen Xuan and Shen zEU listened to each other, but they were silent. Other staff members deliberated. Some supported Nian bang and some supported the chief of staff that year. At that time, one of the people who supported the chief staff came out and said: "Queen Ji is the dear daughter of the Lord, and King Ji is also the son-in-law of the Lord. King Ji has always been very respectful of the Lord, even though she was confused for a while, however..."
"But the Empress Dowager Ji died." In the year of the reign of emperor Qi, he said in a mocking way, "if you don't believe in Princess Deng, why should empress dowager Ji put a good empress dowager aside and die in the bustling capital on such a festive day as the first month?"
Before that person refuses to accept, refutes: "King Ji is not allowed to be loved by the emperor, the imperial concubine said again, until King Ji calms down, he will hate the imperial concubine! When I remember my mother's hatred, I only hate the truth that the princess's evil words misled the Empress Dowager. "
"Since ancient times, is it possible that all the supreme people are the descendants of the first emperor and his son? What's more, it's hard to ride a tiger In King Ji's view, empress Ji gave up her life to pave the way for him! If you are a son of man and your mother sacrifices for you like this, can you fail to live up to her heart? Will you listen to the advice of the Yue family at this time? "
When the man said something, his companion came out again and said, "do you want to tell the king and his wife? What shall I do then? "
"The Lord should call him ill at once." The light way of the year.
This words let everybody be a Leng, Shen Xuan also stopped to caress the action of the beard, way: "dare to ask Mr. Nian what do you mean by this remark?"
"It's impossible for Princess Deng to persuade King Ji's mother and son just by herself," nianpeng said with a smile. "It must also be in the name of the Lord. The Lord is not sick at the moment. In case his highness comes to ask the Lord for help After all, King Ji is the husband of the Lord '. So, it's not like pretending to be ill before Ji Wang comes to the door! "
Many of the staff looked at each other with a kind of dispirited look.It's no surprise that the Shen Xuan brothers were attracted by Shen Zang Feng in the original year. They were well received at Shen Zang Feng. This time, Shen Zanfeng brought up the big event because of his plan. In addition, Shen Zanfeng left the imperial capital, leaving Nian Bang to his father as a helper.
At the beginning, Shen Xuan, Shen Zhou and their staff didn't look up to the young nianbang very much. As a result, in these days, the man's wisdom made his staff dare not look down on him. Even Shen Xuan and Shen Zhou respected him even more.
In fact, for the matter discussed today, the two former staff members proposed that Shen Zang Xiu persuade Ji Wang, but they didn't really agree with it. They mainly heard that Shen Xuan loved his daughter and tried to give in to her.
As a result, Nian Bang insisted not to tell They also thought that he was not afraid to offend Shen cangxiu, nor to regret for his daughter in the future, and to be angry with him. He didn't want to turn around, not only thoughtful, but also for Shen Tibetan show.
Shen Xuan and Shen Zhou's staff have been in the limelight for several times. They can't help chatting with the benefactor. Although Shen Xuan and Shen Zhou are pleased that Shen Zanfeng has recruited a talent, it's impossible for Nian Bang to fill all the duties of other staff. After all, he is Shen Zanfeng's man. Therefore, I have praised the new year's birthday. I have to comfort more people
Of course, Shen Xuan will also write down the performance of Nian bang in his family letter, asking people to fly to Xiliang and report it to Shen zangfeng.
At this time, the capital of the emperor is still snowy, and Xiliang has been snowing for three feet.
Shen zangfeng, wearing a big fur, holds the reins in his left hand, presses the knife in his right hand, and leads his mount to trudge in the snow that is knee deep. His body was carried on his back, so although there was no one to ride, now there was sweat on the top of his hair. He was blown by the cold wind and frozen into a mass of ice dregs, which made him more and more tired.
So every once in a while, Shen zangfeng would release the reins and walk to the side of the mount to brush away the ice. However, although the thick hood almost blocked his whole face, only a pair of Eagle like eyes were exposed, but he was always vigilant to scan around.
In fact, in the vast white snow, in addition to the withered and yellow grass stems that occasionally drill out of the snow layer, and the sporadic animals that have to venture out of the snow to find food because of the hunger and fire, they are dozens of riders in this line, with their horses' collars and hooves wrapped in cloth, walking in silence.
"How long is it to Donghe town?" I realized that I and my subordinates had lost a lot of physical strength. Walking in the front of the team, I could hear the continuous gasping sound from the team. This is the boundary between Wei and Qiudi. Even when the snow is full of bows and knives, Wei and Di people often swim nearby, which is not safe. Shen Zang Feng, slightly pondering, raised his hand to stop the procession and told everyone to be divided into two teams, one to rest on the spot and the other to be on guard.
Panting, Shen Dui ran from the middle of the team and spread a thick mat of dim color on the snow for Shen Zang Feng to sit on the spot. However, Shen didn't sit on it, but took out the map from the horse's back, spread it on the felt, and called the guide not far away to inquire.
The guide looked at the town, Tun, county and town marks circled by Zhu pen on the map, then looked away and said respectfully, "if you go back to the school captain, you will come here soon. According to our current speed, you will surely arrive before dark!"
Shen zangfeng seemed to be relieved. As he put away the map, he was satisfied and said: "military orders are like mountains! Duwei ordered me to go to Donghe town to hear the order before tomorrow, but I didn't want to delay the trip for days. Fortunately, you are familiar with the path and know the path! Now I am relieved! "
The guide said with a meaningful smile, "why do you worry about such trifles? If you want to arrive at Donghe town at this moment, even if you have a small one, you can complete your school captain! "
“……” Shen Cangfeng didn't care that the guide from common people would suddenly say such unbridled words. He took a surprised look at him and turned to Shen dieI, who used to be his young man and now serves as the bodyguard. He was about to speak, but he heard the guide grinning and saying: "the warriors who are lonely in mushur, I have led the most cherished legitimate son of Shen from Xiliang to this place for you. Don't you start?"
His laughter did not fall, but he saw a large number of snow foam flying on the snow not far away!
A group of Qiudi people wearing white hats, white robes and white boots, and covered with snow, laughed to shake off the snow, showed off their long-standing bows and arrows, and shot arrows towards Shen zangfeng and his line within 20 steps. As soon as the arrows left the string, they immediately abandoned their bows, pulled out their broadback machetes on their waists and backs, and shouted to rush up!
All of a sudden, according to the guide's calculation, Shen Zanfeng and his party have been trekking in the snow for a long time. At the moment, they are close to running out of oil and light. Even as Shen Zanfeng, tens of his riders are all elite, but now they don't have much resistance left. Moreover, with the help of the snow and the snow sand from time to time, the Di people are so close to ambush, not at all How many opportunities for Shen zangfeng and his party to react How do you think, this ambush is a safe one.
Seeing the arrows of the Di people falling like rain, the guide who dodged to the side early could almost see that the battle was over soon, and he followed the Di people to receive rewards in the king's tent of muhuer, and this life could not enjoy the rich future!
