Because there are no adults in the Lin family, the two children are also in the Shen family these days, with Yulian and Shen Xi taking care of them. At this time, after listening to her daughter-in-law's words, Mrs. Lin said, "OK, I haven't seen two children for several days. I just went to see them. Old lady, you are going to work hard here. You should pay more attention to your health and don't be too tired. "

Zhuang Shu answered one by one and personally sent them to the second gate.

When they got home, a maid brought hot water to wash them. When they put on their clothes and came out, the steaming dinner was ready.

Leisurely see, smile to jade lotus way "these days, thanks to the elder sister help, otherwise a walk so a few days, the family still don't know what kind of chaos?"

"Don't thank me. I'm just looking at my children. It's sister Xi who is capable of arranging everything in this family. She must be a good hand to live in the future."

Lin's mother also said with a smile, "sister Xi is really capable. Your sister-in-law was not so experienced at her age."

Shen Xi said, "my aunt is joking. I just learned a little from my sister-in-law."

Leisurely is talking with some children. After hearing the words, she helps her forehead and says, "OK, you are all very capable. You don't have to be modest there. Now that the food is ready, let's have a quick meal. My stomach is going to be flat. " Then he asked the people to sit down.

Yu Lian said with a smile, "you just came back and said that I would not wait for you. Sister Xi and I took the children to eat first. You and the second aunt don't care about us. Eat quickly. "

Hearing this, leisurely then didn't politely greet them, and directly called mother Lin to have dinner. They went to the Marquis's residence in Jinxiang for such a long time. It's very late now. Several children have been sleepy in that can't open their eyes, see, leisurely busy let the mammy take them down, their placement did not mention.

For several days in a row, there were elderly people who fell ill one after another. Later, after discussing with the empress dowager, Shen Tian ordered people to clean up the side halls, put fire pots and other things, and allowed them to take turns to rest. He also promised that Gao Ming, who was over 60 years old and had no physical discomfort, would not have to go into the palace to cry. Leisurely has been exercising all the time. Although it's hard, he can endure it, but he lost a lot of weight in the end.

After the coffin of emperor Dahang was officially moved to the mausoleum for burial, Shen Ze finally returned home. As the commander of the Imperial Army, he had to be on guard everywhere during the transition from the old to the new. He always lived in the army these days. It's so easy to wait for the emperor of Lunde to enter the mausoleum. After the new emperor officially ascended the throne, he was free to return home.

In sum, the couple had not seen each other for more than a month. This is the longest time since we got married.

Leisurely watching Shen Ze lose a lot of face, can't help heartache to say "how thin so much? On such a cold day, why is it so dark? "

Shen Ze held her hand and said, "it's a bit dark outside all day? Don't patronize me, I see you've lost a lot of weight, but your skin is still as white as before. "

Leisurely back to the way "at least every day I can go home to eat some hot food, sleep a safe sleep, not as hard as you sleep outside. But this is a little relief. I asked someone to prepare hot water. Take a bath first. In the evening, let's drink mutton Guiqi soup so that we can supplement it for you. "

Shen zerou said, "these days, you have to go to the palace to cry, and you have to worry about your family. You are also involved. Let's make up for it together."

Thanks to the servant girls, they have already retired, otherwise this meeting will not be numb to death

Seeing that the emperor Dahang had been buried in the mausoleum, and that the new emperor had succeeded to the throne, the Manchu Dynasty just relaxed, and the news of the invasion of Tartars came from daningwei in Beiguan. The Tartars did not know how to lobby, but they gathered the forces of many grassland tribes. This time, they gathered 100000 troops to invade. Only 50000 or 60000 troops were stationed in daningwei, but the neighboring Guangping county was also invaded by Gao Liguo and failed to send reinforcements for the time being. Although general Dingbei, who guarded daningwei, led his troops to fight hard, he failed to keep daningwei's pass and could only stop the enemy outside daningwei's palace. This time, he has sent several folds to Beijing to ask for support.

It shouldn't be too late. Now the enemy troops are on the way to the city. If we don't send reinforcements quickly, once the city of Daning Prefecture is broken, there will be no barrier north of the capital to stop the enemy's invasion.

There are now more than 200000 elite troops stationed around the capital, but these troops are not easy to mobilize. The emperor ordered 100000 elite troops to be transferred from Zhili, Tanggu and other places and immediately went to Daning Prefecture for reinforcement.

Soldiers are easy to adjust, but the leader has become a problem for a while. As for Ding Anbo, Ji Guogong and others recommended by the ministers, when the emperor thought of their relationship with the princes, he could not relax even if they would lead the army again.

Xinjun looked around the ministers in Qianyuan hall, but he didn't like it. He would not doubt Shen Ze's loyalty and ability, but at this time, the imperial guards who are responsible for guarding the Forbidden City are not suitable for fighting.

Seeing that the new emperor was still hesitant, Luo Shangshu of the Ministry of war immediately stepped forward and said, "tell the emperor that the position of commander is not trivial. In addition to bravery, he must have great talent. Shen Mingchang, a loyal Lord, has been fighting for many years. He once made great achievements in Northwest China. His heroic strategy, throughout today's imperial court, is beyond his control. The commander-in-chief of the northern expedition must be Duke Shen. "

As soon as these words came out, all the generals in the temple, such as Duke Ji, were not happy. Although the enemy's sneak attack was abrupt, it was only a matter of time before Dakang was able to cope with these small countries. In a deeper sense, although there are risks in this expedition, once the victory is won, the military achievements will not be illusory. It can also be said that it is so easy for those Tartars to dare to fight against Dakang when the new and old emperors change. How could they be taken by the loyal Duke. He has made a lot of contributions. He has been said to be ill at home. Will you excuse him this time?

So they all added that Shen Guogong was not in good health, and that he was old. In short, they didn't want Shen Mingchang to be commander-in-chief this time.

But the Emperor didn't think so. Naturally, the emperor trusted his father-in-law more than the generals in the palace. In particular, today's empress Zhonggong has two legitimate sons, which makes the emperor feel more secure. He firmly believes that for the sake of himself, his daughter and two grandchildren, Duke Shen will surely beat the enemy down.

Thinking of this, the emperor looked at Shen Ze with a little sadness. "Shen Tongling, I'm busy with government affairs these days, and I haven't seen my father-in-law for a while. How is his old man recently?"
