Chapter 407
Under such circumstances, what can Shen Ze say? Although his family doesn't need to steal the credit of others, it's obvious that they have military merit now. Can't they push it out?
So Shen Ze respectfully replied, "tell the emperor that I just asked for my uncle's peace yesterday. Although he was a little sad, he was still strong. It was my uncle's lifelong belief to protect my family and defend my country. If the emperor sent me, I'm sure my uncle would not shirk it. "
At this time, I don't know who said, "Duke Shen has leg disease."
It's hard for Shen Ze to answer this. The other party has dug a hole. No matter how he returns, it seems that he is easy to fall into the limelight.
The emperor looked at the man and felt a little displeased. At the same time, Ding'an came out and said, "the people who are in charge of the army don't have to go to the front. Although Shen Guogong has leg disease, he just walks a little slower. If the emperor still has doubts in his heart, he might as well ask the Duke of Shen to enter the palace and ask him face to face. " The emperor readily agreed and sent his servants to pass the edict.
Ji Guogong scolded Ding Anbo in his heart for being a slippery old man. There was no one who could control his speed at the sight of the wind! Then he turned his head and thought that although he had supported his Royal Highness the king of Chu for many years, the emperor was not so careful. He would not go back to the past now, would he? Your nephew, his Royal Highness the king of Yue, has been showing no signs with the emperor in the past two years. Don't think that if he flatters the Emperor today, he will look up at you.
Ding Anbo didn't think so much about it, but as the saying goes, "he who knows current affairs is a hero.". Now that the new emperor ascends the throne, there is always something in the court that he can't control for a while. If he doesn't show his loyalty at this time, can he really wait at home to be robbed?
At the moment, the emperor was worried about the border war, and had no time to think about the bowels of these ministers. After a while, the Duke of Shen came down to Qianyuan hall under the guidance of the servant.
As a result, it is needless to say that Shen Guogong's intention to retire at the beginning of his life was to hide his talents and keep his low profile. The provincial government's hesitation in the court hindered the emperor's eyes. In case of being instigated by villains to say "high achievements and shocking the master", his efforts for so many years would be in vain.
Only now that the new emperor ascended the throne and made it clear that he trusted him did he want him to go to daningwei. Not to mention that his leg disease is not as severe as the external claims, even if he is really lame, the emperor will let him go, and he must go too!
The Duke of Shen showed his loyalty immediately, and the new emperor also said a lot from the bottom of his heart. Because of the time constraint, the army started all night. Shen Guogong didn't even have the time to go home and pack up, so he went to the barracks to inspect.
As early as when people came to the palace, Han had a premonition in his heart. Later, after getting the letter of approval, he quickly packed his bags and sent them to the barracks.
Leisurely heard the news, also busily picked up some herbs to send in the past. After meeting her, Han said angrily, "what kind of medicinal materials do you have at home? How can you send them all the way?"
Leisurely smile back, "I know there is no lack of good medicine in my aunt's home, but I brought some patent medicine. On weekdays, it's made by my cousin according to the prescription, mostly for hemostasis and detoxification, and a small part for wind cold and wind heat. Xianggong once took it to the imperial army to test. Although the medicine effect was not as good as that in the palace, it was better than that in the pharmacy outside. There is no eye for swords on the battlefield. Let uncle bring more of this, and we can feel at ease. "
After listening to her words, Han opened the package and went to have a look. There were small wooden boxes inside. The medicine in each box was different. There was a label on it with the name and efficacy of the medicine written on it. There are more than 20 kinds of patent medicines in Han's family. It can be said that some common diseases and minor injuries can be dealt with with with the patent medicines here.
Han just nodded and said, "although I have some, they are not as complete as you. On the battlefield, these are life-saving things. I won't be polite to you any more. " With that, he tied up the burden again and ordered people to put Haosheng in an ebony box together with the salute to Duke Shen. The emperor officially made the Duke of Shen a marshal of jingbeida, who was in charge of the defense of daningwei. Even though it was getting dark, the situation in daningwei was not optimistic, and the army started immediately. As for food, grass and military supplies, they can be slightly delayed.
Leisurely husband and wife accompanied han to the city gate to see off Shen Guogong.
Han and Shen Guogong have been together for many years. Even though they have had a grudge, their feelings are very deep. Different from his last expedition to the northwest, Shen Mingchang has grown old in recent years. He has a few white hairs on his temples, which makes him old. Han sighed, "if it's superfluous, I won't say it. I just hope my husband can return safely."
Shen Mingchang patted her hand, "don't worry, I will come back." It's just a simple sentence, but it's still heavy from Shen Guogong's mouth.
In particular, there are relatives and relatives who come to see them off. Some of them are calm and some of them are not. Someone began to cry in a low voice. At first, it was only sporadic. Later, more and more people began to cry.
Even leisurely also infected by the heavy atmosphere, can't help but wet his eyes. How many people have fought in ancient times? Civil servants are always envious of the promotion of military generals. However, they won the military service and the future with their lives?
Shen Mingchang took a deep breath and said, "I'm in a hurry to leave. I have to say goodbye to the queen in the future. When you are free to enter the palace, please give my regards to the empress. " Han nodded his head.
Shen Guogong looked at Shen Ze again and said, "after I leave, the internal and external affairs of the family will be handed over to you." Shen Ze knew what he meant and solemnly answered.
Seeing that it was not early, Shen Guogong ordered the troops to move forward at full speed, expecting to arrive at Wucheng in three hours. This time, he personally led 70000 elite soldiers drawn from the capital camp and Zhili Prefecture, and 30000 elite soldiers from Tanggu will go directly to daningwei from there to join him.
Shen Guogong put on his armor, turned and stepped on his horse. With a wave of his hand, the bugle of assembly sounded in the army. All the soldiers said goodbye to their relatives and were ready to go. The army of Dakang was under strict control. The assembly call was only half a quarter of an hour, and the whole army had been assembled.
Shen Guogong once again took a look at the Shen family. He nodded his head to this side. Then he took the lead and ran away
After a long time, leisurely think of this farewell scene, still sigh, some things have their own destiny.
