This is why Shen Yi has always wanted to meet the King of Jin.
King Jin is the youngest brother of the late Emperor Yongping of the Northern Qi Dynasty, who is also the uncle of the current Emperor Zhaowu of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Very high status.
Not only does he have a high status, but he also has a good character. He has done some good deeds in recent years and is well-known in Taiyuan and even Shanxi.
Of course, what's more important is that this person is now firmly under the control of someone Shen.
When Master Zhu Li entered the customs, there were only one or two hundred thousand people.
If he could go back to seventy years ago, Shen Yi could easily drive all these people back outside the customs.
But now, Zhu Li, at least, has more than one million people.
This number is still the result of the Northern Qi court. In order to limit the number of "nobles", there were some restrictions on intermarriage, otherwise this number might have been several times higher.
In addition to these so-called "upper clans" with Zhu Li's identity, there are probably countless people in the Northern Qi Dynasty who have the blood of Zhu Li and who are entangled with Zhu Li.
At this time, it is no longer realistic to completely separate or even kill Zhu Li.
Moreover, if we really want to do that, it may become a problem whether all the Zhuli people can unite and move northward.
No one can push a group of more than one million people to a dead end.
Therefore, at this time, dividing Zhenren Zhuli has become the best choice. If you want to divide Zhenren Zhuli, in addition to winning a big victory on the battlefield, you must also create a second artificial intelligence within Zhenren Zhuli. Two cores come out.
Jin Wang Zhao Xiong is undoubtedly a good candidate.
Seeing that Prince Jin bowed his head in submission, Master Shen smiled and helped him up, and said: "Since Prince Jin has made a wise choice, we will be friends in the future. When Shen's battle is over, Then I took the prince to Jiankang to meet the Holy Spirit."
"but…"
Shen Yi said softly: "When the time comes, the prince's title may need to be changed."
Da Chen already has a Jin king, and he is also an acquaintance of Shen Yi.
The then crown prince Mu had ascended the throne and became the new king of the Jin Dynasty.
Zhao Xiong nodded quickly and said, "Yes, it all depends on Master Hou's arrangement."
While he was talking, a woman about thirty years old came into the living room with tea. She first looked at Jin Wang Zhao Xiong and prepared to serve Zhao Xiong tea first. However, when she saw Zhao Xiong winking, she realized and arrived with tea. In front of Shen Yi, he lowered his head softly: "Master Hou, drink tea."
Shen Yi looked at Zhao Xiong's expression, then turned to look at Shen Xu.
Shen Xu exhaled and said, "Brother Qi, this is my sister."
Shen Yi was startled, then stood up, cupped his hands and said, "It turns out she is the sister of the third uncle's family."
Shen Huan'er put down the tea and quickly bowed her head in return: "Don't dare, don't dare."
She looked flustered: "You guys talk, you don't need to pay attention to me."
After that, he turned around and left.
Shen Yi smiled and said: "I'm not a wolf, tiger or leopard, we are cousins, why should I be so panicked?"
Shen Ming's family must be recognized by now. After all, they have done so much for Shen Yi and the Huai'an Army during this period.
Now that he has recognized her, he must recognize the relatives who should be recognized. However, Lord Shen can recognize Shen Huan'er as his cousin, but he cannot recognize Zhao Xiong as his cousin-in-law.
Firstly, it was not convenient from the official perspective, and secondly... Shen Huan'er was just a concubine in Prince Jin's Mansion.
Shen Huan'er then boldly looked at Shen Yi, and then said softly: "Qilang is really young..."
After saying that, she looked at her biological brother Shen Xu and said, "Second son, you entertain Qi Lang so well, I'll go down first..."
Shen Xu nodded first, then stood up and helped his sister out of the living room. The two siblings went to the door to whisper.
After the two siblings left, Prince Jin looked at Shen Yi and said: "Master Hou, I have several unmarried daughters in my house. I will let them come out to meet Master Hou. If Master Hou likes them, they will be married in the future." Let them follow the Marquis and take care of his daily life."
Mr. Shen coughed and almost spat out the tea he just drank. He looked up at Zhao Xiong, who had a serious look on his face, and shook his head repeatedly: "Your Majesty, don't make trouble, you are too young."
A smile appeared on Zhao Xiong's face: "If it's not Huan'er, it won't be a problem."
"We, Master Zhu Li, don't pay attention to these things."
Shen Yi shook his head slightly: "We scholars pay attention to these things."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, as long as you don't do anything extraordinary, our cooperation will not be interrupted, and there is no need to rely on in-laws to maintain it."
He said quietly: "Maintaining it through in-laws is far less stable than maintaining it through interests."
Zhao Xiong was thoughtful, lowered his head and said: "Yes, Xiao Wang understands."
After that, Shen Yi talked with Prince Jin for a long time and asked some questions about the Northern Qi royal family before he stood up and left.
Jin Wang Zhao Xiong took his family all the way to the gate of the palace. Shen Xu and Shen Yi walked forward and said, "Seventh brother, I will let someone take you home first, and I will stay here for a while. "
Shen Yi turned to look at him and chuckled: "Bard brother wants to stay here for the night?"
Shen Xu shook his head quickly: "Just say a few words and I'll go home right away."
Mr. Shen didn't ask any questions, just put his hands behind his back and turned around silently.
Shen Xu and Zhao Xiong stood together, watching Shen Yi go away. When Mr. Shen's back slowly disappeared, Zhao Xiong let out a sigh of relief, only to feel his feet go weak and almost fall to the ground.
Shen Xu supported him.
"My lord, what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Xiong reluctantly stood up straight, looked at this "brother-in-law", and said with a wry smile: "Second son, your cousin..."
"It's really scary..."
Shen Xu scratched his head: "Isn't he always smiling with the prince?"
Zhao Xiong shook his head.
"Second son, you have never met the emperor or many important people."
"Your cousin is already very similar to my imperial brother."
Prince Jin took a deep breath.
"This feeling is called the unpredictable power of God."
Shen Xu was thoughtful and asked, "The prince asked me to stay for a while. What's the matter?"
"Er Zi, I want to ask you."
Zhao Xiong swallowed his saliva and asked, "Do you want to straighten Huan'er...?"
Shen Xu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty, let's just go on as usual."
"I guess it's not convenient for Seventh Brother to have such a close relationship with Prince Jin's Mansion."
Zhao Xiong nodded.
"Then I'll listen to you."
He patted Shen Xu on the shoulder and sighed softly: "Second son, your family saved my life for the second time."
Shen Xu shook his head.
"It was the prince himself who saved himself."
…………
That night, Shen Yi stayed temporarily at Shen's house in Taiyuan.
That night, Shen Ming held Shen Yi for a long conversation. Knowing that Shen Yi would rush to the front line the next day, Shen Ming did not dare to disturb Shen Yi's rest.
Early the next morning, Shen Ming and his son sent Shen Yi out of the city. When they were saying goodbye, Mr. Shen jumped on the horse and looked at Shen Xu: "Eighth brother, after some time, there will be an official from Jinan coming to Taiyuan, named Zheng Lu. , when the time comes, he will temporarily handle the political affairs of Taiyuan and take over the Taiyuan magistrate's office."
Shen Xu quickly lowered his head, cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I will arrange it."
Shen Yi on the horse thought for a while and said, "At that time, you can discuss things in the city with him. If you have anything to do, send someone to deliver a message to me. I should be in Datong Mansion during this period. "
Shen Xu bowed his head respectfully: "I understand, little brother."
Shen Yi no longer hesitated, and raised his hands to Shen Ming on horseback: "San Bo, see you in Jiangdu!"
After that, he shook the reins, led a group of followers, and galloped away to the north.
The father and son watched Shen Yi go away. Shen Ming patted Shen Xu on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Follow your seventh brother and don't have any evil intentions."
Shen Xu smiled bitterly.
"Dad, seventh brother is like a god."
"I don't dare to breathe in front of him. How dare I have any evil thoughts?"
…………
Datong Fucheng.
When Shen Yi and his party arrived at the Pioneer Army camp outside Datong Prefecture, there were only eight or nine thousand troops stationed in the Pioneer Army camp, and half of these eight or nine thousand people were injured and recuperating in the rear.
In the camp, Xue Wei was naturally not there, not even the deputy general Wan Zhong was there.
After Shen Yi arrived at the camp for a long time, Wan Zhong rushed back to the camp. After seeing Shen Yi, he immediately half-knelt in front of Shen Yi, respectfully, lowered his head and clasped his fists: "Mr. Shen!"
Shen Yi didn't talk nonsense: "What's the situation on the front line?"
"Stand up and answer."
"yes!"
Wan Zhong stood up, took off the water bag from his waist and took a drink of water. He looked at Shen Yi and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Shen, the rest of the several guards in Datong are all new recruits. They are not good enough. After we arrive in Datong, we will only After a brief contact, these Northern Qi border troops were not able to hold on."
"In less than ten days, several guard posts were occupied by us one after another. Just when we were attacking the Lu Guards and Tian Cheng Guards..."
Wan Zhong said in a deep voice: "The Tatars are attacking from the east of Tiancheng Guard, that is, the three guards of Xuanfu!"
"This group of Tatars has a large number of people. We suffered some losses and retreated all the way to Yanghewei and Gaoshanwei."
"Now, General Xue is there, having a stalemate with the Tatars."
Shen Yi rubbed his eyebrows, frowned and said, "Come from the Third Guards of Xuanfu?"
"yes."
"If we hadn't come from the Three Guards of Xuanfu, there was the Great Wall at the border and so many military forts, the Tatars wouldn't have been able to get in easily."
Wan Zhong took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said: "These Qi people are very likely to be in cahoots with the Tatars!"
Shen Yi sat on the chair and frowned fiercely.
"Go tell Xue Wei and let him..."
"According to the situation, if necessary, you can consider withdrawing to Datong Mansion and defending the city. Those Tatars should not be able to attack the city."
"General Xue means the same thing, but General Xue said."
Wan Zhong leaned forward, lowered his head and said: "General Xue said that even if you retreat, before you return to Datong City, you must first take a look at those Tatars..."
"What kind of quality is it?"
When Mr. Shen heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed dumbly.
