In addition, several eloquent concubines from the Hanlin Academy were sent - Shen Mingtang was also included.
The emperor meant that since Xiao Xian was taking care of Shen Mingzhu at home, Shen Mingtang could go and perform meritorious service.
Shen Mingzhu also knew that the emperor had another intention. This was Shen Mingzhu's own idea, to let the brother she cared about go. If something went wrong, she would be anxious, and she would definitely not leave the eldest prince alone.
She carefully told Shen Mingtang some things. Although Shen Mingtang was straightforward, he was also smart, and he could understand the secret as soon as he heard it.
Three days later, Shen Mingtang accompanied Xiao Che and set off to Cangzhou for negotiations, bringing gifts and the emperor's decree.
Naturally, I have to take Wen Songzhi with me, as he is the owner of the farm. When the time comes, the Jin people will be able to visit his new farm that combines farm and pasture. The Jin people will definitely be interested.
It will also make negotiations go more smoothly by then.
Shen Mingzhu also appeared to be seriously ill and incurable to the outside world, and Xiao Xian's internal strength had begun to fail.
After hearing this, the emperor actually ordered Shen Mingzhu to move into the palace in order to express his love for them. Luo Hu led ten masters to help Xiao Xian practice kung fu for Shen Mingzhu, hoping to open up the meridians throughout her body as soon as possible so that she might survive.
.
Although Shen Mingzhu didn't want to go, it was hard to refuse, and Xiao Xian had already made complete preparations, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
In addition, Xiao Xian and Concubine Xie also moved into the palace to accompany her.
They live in Fenghua Palace, which has always been empty.
Strictly speaking, Fenghua Palace is not a concubine's palace, but is an independent entity between the former dynasty and the harem, with a rigorous structure.
In order to take care of her emotions, the emperor asked her own maid to take care of her. Even the bodyguards were arranged by Xiao Xian and there was no need to use people from the palace.
She moved in just to make it easier for the dozen or so experts to help her heal her injuries.
Luo Hu gave her a prescription. Although he was not a doctor, top experts were almost like doctors to a certain extent. They did not rely on medical skills but relied on internal strength to treat diseases.
"First soak in a medicinal bath for a period of time to mobilize your muscles and bones and strengthen your meridians. Otherwise, if you forcefully open the blocked meridians all at once, it will only aggravate your condition and cause your meridians to burst and die."
What he means is that if you don't have strong meridians and simply have strong internal forces, your meridians will not be able to contain those internal forces and you will be swollen to death.
Therefore, people who practice martial arts pay attention to gradual progress, in order to increase internal strength and strengthen the meridians at the same time, so that they can accommodate and withstand the internal strength accumulated over time.
After they left, Shen Mingzhu whispered to Xiao Xian, studied the situation in the north, and then talked about his "injury".
"Your Majesty is very kind to you." Shen Mingzhu sighed with emotion. Most emperors are suspicious, but this emperor is actually so kind to Xiao Xian.
Of course, this is largely because Xiao Xian is now the most capable general in the Qin Dynasty. Without him, there would be no one to take responsibility for the hostile attacks from the north, south, east, and west.
After all, he could have many concubines and sons, but he couldn't have too many generals. By using Xiao Xian, he didn't have to worry about the self-respect of his troops, nor the threat he posed to the imperial power.
Xiao Xian also treated the soldiers harshly, did not drink their blood, and returned the soldier talismans on his own initiative after the war. He was not greedy for power at all.
Where can I find such a useful general? He is capable of both literary and military skills, and he is also loyal and useful. He will not have any second thoughts.
