After the rumor of repairing the Feng Ci Water Temple spread, the country was in an uproar.

This water temple has been burned two thirds, the so-called repair, and rebuild and what is the same? And the water temple construction of the wood used are from the southern barbaric land transported a hundred years old material, with today's world everywhere beacon situation, want to get the same wood to that is impossible thing. Not to mention that the people of the world know that at this juncture, the saint actually still have the heart to repair the palace even if the southern barren jungle as usual cut down and sent out, but also by no means safe delivery to the imperial capital!

Such a stupid decree, the hundred officials since there is no lack of table requesting the emperor to the national affairs of the mind, back to the order of the people, but these people are light by the court cane or be relegated to a remote area, heavy directly to prison and even the family size "thought of it" of the emperor now in addition to seizing the last of these The "open-minded" saint now in addition to seize the last period of time to do as he pleases outside of nothing, he is even the ancestral foundation and many descendants are disregarded, and how will care about the advice of the people?

The matter of the water temple has not yet been officially opened, the saint and the decree of the selection.

Due to old age, energy is not as good as before, coupled with the previous ten years, the Empress Gu favor the six palaces, the palace has been a number of years without serious selection. And since Deng Guifei recommended Miao Jieyu shook Gu Empress sole favorite position, Gu Empress for solid favor order Zhong Xiaoyi serve the Emperor, both sides of the other side of the dead, and then do not allow anyone to share the favor.

But this time, even Empress Gu and Noble Consort Deng joined hands and were unable to stop the selection from taking place.

Year twelve to seventeen beautiful and innocent without disabilities, from a good family of women are selected into the palace exams within the country, there is no upper limit, as many as possible; and even in order to prevent officials from slowing down the will, expressly required each state at least tribute into the hundred violators of the order of the whole family banishment. The

With the degree of civil unrest in Wei nowadays, although there is no other civil unrest that can capture the government offices except for Yanzhou, but this holy decree, the state officials of several states and cities first took the lead to rebel! The people are not happy with the situation, the number of households will naturally be reduced, the number of households has been reduced, of course, the young and beautiful women will not be more.

What's more, a family, if there are children have a daughter, dying of hunger, most of the time is to protect the child abandon the daughter. Not to mention, even if you are a beautiful woman, if you are starving to death and only have skin and bones left, how can you talk about beauty? Hundred beautiful girls per state the civil unrest is intense point of the place, the state has been struggling to support not to fall into the hands of the enemy, but where to go to make up the number of this selection? And the negligence of the imperial decree is the disaster of the family and children, has long been forced by the civil mutiny of the state officials of the exhaustion of the heart how can not rebel?

Such evil results, the saint completely ignored, but more and more intensified, day after day, night after night indulgence, and even the forbidden army commander Gu Xiaode can not stand to see, sobbing saint calm down, help the country ...... but the saint knows that Wei has been sick in the heart, their own talent and virtue is not enough to save the tide of madness, where do you expect to be able to help the country ...... what the countryside? Naturally what words can not listen to, but asked people will Gu Xiaode drive beat out of the temple.

Did not put Gu Xiaode relegated to another country or prison sentence, has already been considered additional enlightenment ...... Of course, it is also possible that the saint knows that like Gu Xiaode so credible and available forbidden army commander is not too good to find.

In the middle of this, the hundred officials to advise were punished to varying degrees, gradually except for a number of life and death outside of the loyal ministers, no one said anything else.

By the time November rolled around, the capital city and other places were the first to get together the number of people to be selected because there hadn't been any civil unrest yet.

Hundreds of good children were dressed up in floral splendor, fish in a row into the palace, in the winter depression within the palace walls, like a blooming fresh flowers. The aged saint was high on the imperial throne, looking down on the newcomers who were old enough to be his granddaughters or grandchildren, and an indescribable sense of fulfillment rose up in his empty heart.

Only this satisfaction was soon broken-

Being led to the Dan Edward under the salute of the young girls, suddenly rushed out of the two, despite the shock of the palace people blocked, pointing at the saint cursed!

Although these two bold girls were quickly dragged out to be executed, but the angry saint decree to pursue their families only to find that their families have long been dead in the peace and disorder two of their fathers and brothers are in the military service, because of the defeat of the main generals in the peace and disorder, for the people killed; grandmother and mother could not withstand the blow of the death of the whirlwind. Originally, military families were not required to participate in the selection, but there were not enough good families, so the officials in charge of the selection saw that they were beautiful and young, so they changed their place of origin and took them to fill up the number.

And these two girls have long been because of the loss of loved ones, life is not love, the Wei room full of hate, so ah see, rather than give up everything, but also to denounce the king's lawlessness and mediocrity, to give away the Wei great mountains and mountains.

This matter so that the saint is full of anger nowhere to vent, although a breath of disposal will be the two girls picked up the size of the officials, and even the palace people have several people involved, still do not solve the hate the last is the decree will be picked with the two girls with a number of good son all give death -Before the hundred officials ate enough to advise the bitter head, coupled with the prospect of Wei disillusionment, and know that the saint is on fire this time, so the saint's venting this time to maintain the silence.

Only Situ Wei Yu still defied all the people and insisted on entering the palace to advise him but just as most people expected, the saint didn't listen to two sentences, and after realizing his intention, he stormed out and roared to drive him out of the palace.

How stubborn is Wei Yu? He let the saint's wrath, let the palace people try to imply, and even the saint ordered him to depreciate the position of the Secretary of State, expelled from the imperial capital also do not care, hard to rely on the Dan Edward, refused to leave, and complained bitterly about the great Wei ancestor ancestors start-up is not easy to keep the difficult, from the founding of Wei's grandfather, all the way to the saint, can be described as the words of the blood and tears of each sentence of bitterness. At the end of the day, but never see the emperor on the throne of the supreme father have any move repentance, desperate Wei Yu in turn calm down, he raised his sleeve to wipe away the tears, kowtowed a head, said "The old minister now only one thing to ask for the supreme father!"

The saint looked at him coldly, pondering what to do with this insensitive old thing to relieve his hatred, and only after a long time did he spit out a word through his teeth, "Speak!"

Originally the saint has already made up his mind, no matter what Wei Yu put forward the request, he will ...... not expect to hear Wei Yu smiled miserably and said, "The old minister begs the saint to grant the old minister a death!"

Tai Fu House, Jintong Yuan.

The afternoon sunlight shone through the window pane, and Wei Changying, who had just risen from a new sleep and had come to see her son in the private room, was carefully wiping away the saliva at the corner of her second son's mouth with a handkerchief drawn from her sleeve.

The fourth grandchild, Shen Shuxie, who turned one just a few days ago, can now walk, but not very steadily, and within a few steps he would fall to the ground. I don't know if this is the reason why he is still more enthusiastic about crawling.

As long as awake, refused to let people hold, but also refused to stand, leaning against the arms of a person twisting, twisting until he put him on the soft rug or laying a brocade quilt on the couch, he only smiling limbs on the ground, puffing and puffing to choose a direction to climb over the sharp.

This time, he realized that his mother was on his side, and turned around in the middle of his climb, and jumped into her arms as soon as he reached Wei Changying's vicinity. Wei Changying picked him up, but the boy wiped several strands of drool on his lapel, so she wiped his mouth with a mixture of anger and amusement.

Taking advantage of this light, Shen Shuxie tried to bite the celluloid ring hanging on her chest again.

It was easy to snatch it down, Wei Chang Ying didn't dare to wear it, the celluloid ring told this kid to bite a few teeth marks out of the matter is small, on the top of the bits and pieces of hanging celluloid was he ate the matter is big, busy picking it down and told someone to take it away. At this time, she wanted to hold him again, but the boy refused to stay in her arms twisting, twisting, babbling to nurse, but he was hungry.

Wei Chang Ying could only hand him over to his nurse to feed him, and after touching his temples, which had already sprouted a few strands of hair, he took his daughter back to the main room to clean up, lamenting, "Xie'er is getting more and more rowdy, thanks to the fact that he's still young now, but if a few years go by, he'll be with Guang'er and he won't know what kind of a row he'll be making. At that time can really worry about endless ah!"

The maids laughed "The little daughters are in good health, so they are lively like this. Besides, the two young daughters are extremely filial, how can we really ask the young lady to worry?"

After saying these two words, they were walking to the door of the main room, the master and servant laughed and went in, but they saw that Shen Zangfeng was at the head of the room, and the maids were busy converging their colors to go forward to greet each other, and Wei Changying asked curiously, "How did you come over here?"

Shen Zangfeng sixteen years old by his father's shade supplemented the guards, for the seventh grade; later catching up with the rise of the saint, the order of the imperial guards to the border to build merit, in the western Liang as a lieutenant, promoted to from the sixth grade; and last year in September back to the capital on the rewards of the rewards, because of the number of fall autumn Di, the tranquility of the frontier of the work, get a great promotion, jumped from the fourth grade of the Xuanwei General.

However, this General Xuanwei was leading the Xiliang Army, not the Imperial Forestry Army that was defending the imperial capital. That is to say, before the arrival of the Western Liang army in the capital city is just a title, in fact, can not do anything. Later, the Shen family escorted their daughter-in-law and grandchildren back to the capital on the pretext of reunion, but got 60,000 Xilang army elite to come.

However, after some negotiations, the 60,000 troops can only be stationed two days away from the imperial capital, every move is watched by the court and various families, not allowed to have too much contact with Shen's family, not to mention letting Shen Zangfeng to go to the army day after day to point out the drill in case of the day to drill the drill, the swinging of the sword directly to the imperial capital how to do it?

So Shen Zangfeng now has no official business in the body, but this does not mean that he is very idle ...... not only to assist Shen Xuan and Shen Zu in the front yard to cope with today's situation; privately to accept Shen Xuan's words and teach; he also has the responsibility of teaching the first eldest son Shen Shuguang.

Only four years old Shen Shuguang is early enlightenment, think they have been aggrieved, coupled with the influence of big cousin Shen Shuming, very reluctant to be detained now. This kid is very smart, untutored will be able to use the child's advantage from grandmother, mother and a cadre of elders who can suppress Shen Zangfeng, but also can directly interfere to his discipline to seek refuge and support.

So Shen Zangfeng always have to keep a few points of spirit to keep an eye on him, as usual at this time, Shen Zangfeng should be in the front of the Golden Intimidation Hospital to personally watch Shen Shuguang, how come at this moment, but alone over it?

Shen Zangfeng looked calm and did not seem to have any urgent matters, this kind of attitude made Wei Changying think that there was no big deal, and was still speculating about a few family matters that were not too big or small. However, after Shen Zangfeng slowly asked his subordinates to withdraw, he opened his mouth and said, "There is a piece of news that is not so good."

Wei Changying's light smile froze her husband had always been calm, so he made light of the situation, but things were bound to be tricky and troublesome.

Sure enough Shen Zangfeng continued, "Yanzhou side of the siege failed again, Lu Royce even organized soldiers out of the city to cover up for a while ...... Big brother he was accidentally hit by stray vectors, and now has been on the way back to the imperial capital."

Shen Zang Li in being a valve master above the temperament is lacking, but not lost as a primus. In the western liang has the reputation of a good fighter, hit by a stray bullet actually immediately after sending back to the imperial capital on the road, even without news first to ask for instructions whether to send him back, obviously not lightly injured. Not so light that the ministry first decides to send him to the imperial capital before saying.

Wei Changying's mind turned, he didn't ask about his elder brother's injuries, but said, "But you're going to Yanzhou?"
