A few days later, the prince's letter was delivered to the palace.
Emperor Qing'an looked at this short and powerful letter, and Zhu Yun's silent, painful and tough face flashed in his mind, and he was filled with a variety of emotions.
Then, a feeling of relief came to my heart.
Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Zhu Yun, who was born in wealth and splendor, is good at everything, but he is a little soft-hearted. This trip to the border has given him a great training. After experiencing the baptism of war,
, Zhu Yun will also truly transform and mature.
Although there was no good news for the border troops, Emperor Qing'an was still in a good mood because of this family letter.
Eunuch Yang had served his master for decades, and he was very aware of the subtle changes in Emperor Qing'an's expression. He laughed softly and said, "What did His Royal Highness write in the letter? Why is the Emperor so happy? Could it be that the war has turned for the better?"
Emperor Qing'an was very scheming, and his temperament became even more unpredictable after he ascended the throne as emperor. The only people who could chat with him inside and outside the palace, except Empress Yuan, were Eunuch Yang who was always by his side.
"The war has not improved for the time being." Emperor Qing'an said casually: "However, the prince has made great progress. In this way, a trip to the capital is not in vain."
Eunuch Yang said with a smile: "The emperor loves His Highness deeply, and the demands are too high. In the eyes of this servant, His Highness the Crown Prince is already the best among men."
When Emperor Qing'an was in a good mood, hearing such flattery was particularly pleasing to his ears, and he raised his lips: "It's okay to say this in private, but it will become a joke if it gets out."
Eunuch Yang spared no effort in flattering him: "Your Majesty, you don't know this. Your Highness the Crown Prince has an excellent reputation in the court and is respected and loved by everyone, even the common people in the court and the public. I can't say anything if I'm not afraid of the emperor's irritation. The young emperor has
time, but far from it.”
Emperor Qing'an laughed: "Okay, okay, it's becoming more and more outrageous."
Emperor Qing'an was in a better mood, and the atmosphere in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which had been depressed and dull for several days, became much more relaxed.
When Shen Jia was having lunch, Shen Jia deliberately came to Shen You's side: "I heard that the letter from His Highness the Crown Prince was delivered to the palace today. The Emperor read His Highness's letter and was filled with great relief and looked up to the sky with a smile."
So, this is how rumors come about, and the more they spread, the more exaggerated they become.
Shen You glanced at Shen Jia: "The emperor is in a good mood, but he is not laughing in the sky."
Shen Jia smiled and said: "I'm just exaggerating a little bit. That's what it means anyway."
After a pause, he sighed in a low voice: "I also heard that the reason why the frontier army lost battles one after another was because the Tatar Rouran people were too cruel, and they drove old, weak, women and children to the city gate every time. The soldiers of the frontier army
We were forced to have no choice but to kill the common people of Daqi. As a result, it is inevitable that the military morale will be low and morale will be low."
"These Tatar Rouran cavalry are really nothing, and they can use such vicious methods. Sooner or later, they will all get retribution on themselves."
Even Shen Jia has heard about it, how could Shen You not know about it?
Any bloody man will be filled with boundless anger and raging fighting spirit when he hears such a cruel war.
Shen You pursed his thin lips and whispered: "It's a pity that I couldn't go to the border. Otherwise, I would have led a group of people to sneak out of the city gate, bypass the enemy army, and go to the rear to burn their food and grass. Let them not
The battle breaks out."
Shen Jia's blood boiled when he heard this, and he clenched his fist fiercely: "That's right! Burn the enemy's food and grass and see what they use to fight!"
Shen You sighed softly: "I'm afraid General He and the others have already thought of all the ways we can think of. However, the food and grass supplies must be heavily defended. It is not easy to burn the food and grass. Those who go will have a narrow escape."
Shen Jia felt heavy in his heart, and even the meat in his mouth lost its flavor. He let out a long sigh and fell silent with Shen You.
…
Two days later, it was time to take a rest.
Shen You returned to Cui's house first. His so-called gloom and boredom were all in vain when he saw the grinning Brother Xu, and was thrown aside.
Brother Xu excitedly fluttered at Shen You. Shen You smiled and stretched out his arms to hug his chubby and heavy son.
"Brother Xu, call me daddy." Commander Shen, who spoke coldly and rarely, was very patient in front of his son: "Come, look at my mouth, daddy."
Brother Xu made babbling noises, put his fingers in his mouth, and chuckled.
Shen You also smiled, stretched out his hand and pinched Brother Xu's fair and handsome face: "You little bastard, when will you call me daddy?"
Brother Xu suddenly stretched out his hand, hugged his father's face, and gave him a kiss. Brother Xu was drooling all day long when his teeth were coming out. This kiss made Shen You's face wet. Fortunately, it was his son. , Shen You didn't mind it either. He took a clean and soft cotton handkerchief, wiped his face, and then wiped his son's hands carefully.
When Feng Shaojun entered the house, he saw such a warm scene.
Brother Xu raised his head and smiled excitedly at his mother.
Shen You turned his head, his eyebrows and eyes were filled with tenderness.
Feng Shaojun's heart felt as if it had been soaked in honey, soft and warm. He walked quickly to the bed, leaned down and kissed his son: "Brother Xu, have you missed me?"
Ji Xiang stayed with Brother Xu every day in front of his master. Brother Xu was very familiar with Feng Shaojun's face. He couldn't understand what was being said, but he kept smiling and waving his little arms.
Feng Shaojun smiled and picked up his son. Mother and son rested their foreheads against each other, playing affectionately.
Shen You smiled silently, stretched out his arms, and pulled his wife and children into his arms. Both faces, one big and one small, were full of smiles.
This is having the happiness and beauty of the whole world!
Feng Shaojun snuggled into his husband's arms and asked with a low smile: "How long have you been back?"
Shen You replied: "About half an hour."
"It's already dark, let's have dinner with grandma together!"
"Um."
The family of three went to Xu's courtyard. As expected, Cui Yuanhan's family of four were also there. Cui Dalang had been studying for more than half a year, and he looked like a gentle little scholar. He raised his hands and saluted in a decent manner: "I have met my aunt and uncle."
Feng Shaojun pursed his lips and smiled: "Dalang has become more obedient and sensible since he started studying."
The naughty and restless Cui Erlang hurriedly looked over: "Aunt, where am I?"
Cui Yuanhan and Mrs. Song were both happy. They had never seen anyone rush to ask for praise!
Feng Shaojun suppressed his laughter and praised seriously: "Erlang is smart and lively. My aunt likes Erlang the most."
Cui Erlang puffed up his chest proudly, making everyone laugh.
After having a pleasant dinner, Mrs. Song took her two sons back to settle down and rest.
Cui Yuanhan stayed and said worriedly to Feng Shaojun Shen You: "Recently, there have been rumors in the Ministry of Internal Affairs that the border army is not doing well in the war. In order to raise military pay and food, the emperor even sent money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the Ministry of Accounts. He did not know about this battle. How long will it take to fight? When will there be a turnaround?"
