226 Transition
It is a foregone conclusion that Prince Yihe's Mansion has become a street rat that everyone wants to beat. The evidence is conclusive and there is no possibility of overturning the verdict. No matter how sad Qin Zheng and Yan Bo are, they can't change the solution. Therefore, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha's comfort I can only accept this fact.
After receiving the news, Shen Cha dragged Shen Haolin into the library of the Duke's Mansion, dug out the archives of the old Prince Yihe, and carefully reviewed them for two days. Through the war cases of the same period, After comparison, it was found that there were a total of 130 battles, and nearly 100 of them were counterattacks, turning defeat into victory when the entire army was about to be annihilated. However, these 100 battles were scattered over ten years. If you are not careful, or do not focus on studying these battle cases, you will not be able to notice it at all.
"Song Jue will notice that it was the master who taught him who put all these together. It is difficult not to understand the twists and turns in this comparison." Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin helplessly. , "Who is the master who is giving lectures to Your Majesty?"
"The left minister of the Ministry of War, Liang Zuo."
"No wonder!" Shen Cha showed a sarcastic smile, "He wished that the old prince would end up in this situation. After all, his son's promotion path in the military was cut short by the old prince."
"If he doesn't deprive the soldiers of their pay, doesn't harm the people at the border, and doesn't kill innocent people to claim military merit, no one will interrupt his promotion path." Shen Haolin sneered, "Liangzuo... his son's matter is not involved. He is already showing mercy to the late Emperor."
"But now no one will say that he is seeking personal revenge. They will only say that he has a sharp eye and can see Xizuo's true face at a glance. Maybe..." Shen Cha sighed, "There will still be people who suspect that his son was There is also a hidden secret behind the matter."
"That's not true. Let's talk about the matter. The people in Beijing are still sharp-eyed."
"That's what my brother said!"
In a blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Before dawn, everyone in the Zhenguogong Mansion and Wudinghou Mansion began to be busy, preparing for the last festival of the first lunar month, and at the same time, preparing to welcome the upcoming distinguished guests.
The Liao delegation, which was originally expected to arrive at Jiaping Pass on the 13th and 14th of the first lunar month, and Bai Datong, who was responsible for escorting the princess and escorting the prisoners, were trapped in the inn due to heavy snow and wind on the road, and their arrival in the city was delayed. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Shen Haolin and Shen Cha were woken up early in the morning by Ying Shisan who came back to report the news. They hurriedly freshened up and then let Shisan in.
"How is your Royal Highness's condition? Can you still hold on?"
"Master, boss!" Ying Thirteen saluted to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, sat opposite them, and took the tea cup from Shen Cha, "Her Highness the Princess is in good condition, although she has been there for a long time. Not traveling far, but not unsuitable in the slightest. Before departure, His Majesty's worries did not arise, and I don't know if Her Royal Highness the Princess and Commander Bai have made any private deals. Your Highness obeyed the Commander-in-Chief's words. This On the way, he pretended to be the guard beside the commander-in-chief and was always inseparable from the commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief was very satisfied with this."
"This is what it should be." Shen Haolin nodded, "According to Bai Meng's usual style, he probably made a three-part agreement with Her Highness the Princess. If she violates the agreement, she will probably be sent back to the capital. Her Highness the Princess is determined to find Xiaojing. Make it clear and make a complete settlement. No matter what harsh demands Bai Meng makes, she will happily agree and strictly abide by them." He pushed a plate of green tea cakes in front of him to Ying Thirteen, "Envoy of the Liao Kingdom How is the situation in the group? Are Xiao Fengqi and Yerunan still in peace?"
"They are eager to return home. Apart from being optimistic about Wanyanxi, they are focused on their journey. My subordinates overheard the conversation of the three young masters. What they are most worried about now is that they will not see King Xiao Liao for the last time."
"It seems that they have reached an agreement on this matter. No one will choose to act like a monster on the way back, so as not to delay the business and leave regrets for themselves." Shen Cha nodded, "Does Wanyanxi know the inside story of rushing on the road? "
"He doesn't know the inside story." Ying Thirteen held a piece of green tea cake in his mouth and shook his head. "No one will tell him anything. He did not see the Jin Kingdom envoy in Beijing, nor did he find their spy in Beijing. The whole person was very disappointed, feeling that his future was uncertain and his revenge became increasingly slim. Now, he wished that the mission could leave Xijing and return to Linhuang Mansion as soon as possible, so that he could continue to pester Yelvertu. Convince him to lend him troops and fight back to the Kingdom of Jin."
"It's good to let him have such an illusion, so that he won't cause trouble on the way." Shen Cha looked at the empty teacup in front of Ying Shisan, picked up the teapot and poured him another cup, "Eat slowly, it's all What's yours, no one will steal it from you."
"Well, this snack is so delicious. Sister Miao Miao's skills have improved a lot in the past few days since I left!" Ying Shisan looked satisfied after eating, "Master Guo, boss, you don't know, Jing The food here is really not to my taste, and if Your Majesty hadn’t provided me with it from time to time, I would have starved to death.”
"How can it be so exaggerated? The taste in Jingzhong is a little lighter, but it brings together delicacies from all over Daxia. You can taste all kinds of flavors without leaving Xijing City." Shen Cha threw a handkerchief to him and said, "Wipe it." My mouth and face are full of snack dregs."
"It's exactly the same as when I was little." Looking at Ying Thirteen's appearance, Shen Haolin smiled and said, "How are you doing, Mr. Zhao, along the way?"
"Except for not talking, everything else is good. You should eat, drink, and sleep." After finishing the plate of green tea cakes, Ying Thirteen burped with satisfaction, "The old prince is like that." His Majesty, being kind-hearted, only focused on the old prince, and spared the three young masters without holding them accountable. The three young masters were greatly shocked when they learned that their fathers were actually from the Liao Dynasty. Young Master, from the moment the incident happened to the time we left the capital, he was so depressed that he seemed to be a completely different person. The commander-in-chief said that the eldest young master has always claimed to be the most noble young master in the capital, and now he has fallen from the clouds and stepped on him covertly and covertly. There are countless people, so it’s understandable that he couldn’t accept it for a while.”
"I just hope he won't go to the point of no return because of this." Shen Cha thought for a moment, picked up the pen and wrote a note, handing it to Mei Lin who was standing at the door, "Give it to Xiao Wu and ask him to pass on the order and let everyone Brothers, keep an eye on the eldest son, and if there is any change, take him down secretly immediately!"
"Yes!" Merlin responded, took Chen Cha's note and went out.
"Are you worried that he will completely defect to the Liao Kingdom or some other foreign nation and turn around to bite us?" Shen Haolin sighed, "His Royal Highness is proud and arrogant. Now that he has fallen into the mud, his mood must have changed. . If a person like him is taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives... there will be endless troubles."
"That's what my brother said. That's why I have to be on guard against him. Otherwise, if he bites me suddenly, it won't hurt our muscles and bones, but it will be enough to trouble us."
"But, boss, he can't return to the capital, so what can he do?" Ying Thirteen said while rubbing his belly, "No matter how unwilling the eldest son is, there is no way to turn around now. Before Princess
When he broke off the engagement, he was expelled from the capital and was not allowed to set foot in Xijing for the rest of his life. Coupled with this incident now..." He sighed, "Counting from now on, it will be impossible for him to be in Xijing for at least fifty years.
I saw the Zhao family's children in the Xijing court. Since I can't join the officialdom, I have no way of knowing the situation in the court, so how can I cooperate with foreigners? If I were a foreigner, I wouldn't think he has any value that can be used.
."
"You are right, but we must take precautions. If those foreigners think differently than we do, and use their swords to take advantage of them, and we fail to take precautions, wouldn't we suffer a big loss?"
"My boss is wise, my subordinates are ashamed!"
"Haolin, Xiaocha!" Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing, who were wearing soft armor, walked in from outside, "That boy Bai Meng sent someone to deliver a message. In another twenty miles, they can reach the tower.
