Wei Sheng He went to the Sikong House, although because it is a peer, but also from the Fengzhou rushed over to the cousin, Song Yuwang again do not want to see people also had to receive him, but his persuasion but also did not play a role.

Wei Shengxian and Wei Zhengyin sent people to inquire about him after he left the Sikong Mansion, and the answer they got was that Song Yuwang was just being perfunctory, and it was obvious that the knot in his heart was still difficult to be resolved. But when Wei Sheng He tried to mention Wei Cicada Shadow, Song Yu Wang's unusual behavior made them confirm that his hatred for the Duanmu family was indeed related to Wei Cicada Shadow.

The problem is that this relationship in the end where it is not good to ask in detail Song Yuwang now body was already very bad, just mention Wei Cicada shadow let him agitated up, if further in-depth, the consequences of this Wei Sheng He dare not bear.

And Duanmu Wushe returned to her mother's home not long after the clan forced to "die of a violent illness", according to the dead account eliminated, even if this is not virtuous woman from the past to the deceased disrespect, she herself is dead, Song Yuwang as the elders and then count on it is really out of style.

So going around and around, Song Yuwang's side of the problem still couldn't be solved.

But Wei Sheng He came to the imperial capital main purpose is to give Wei Huan seek a cure, this matter is resolved, other things he is also try to do even if.

This time is already the middle of the waxing moon, the Su family, the Shen family have left Wei Sheng He in the imperial capital for the New Year. But Wei Sheng He still parents knees only his son, I am afraid that I do not go back, Wei Jiong couple knees lonely reason, declined these invitations, quietly take Zhu Shi, against the wind and snow to the south.

With her husband away in the army and her grandfather in bed due to an injury, Wei Changying felt that this year had been especially cold and lonely, despite the news of her brother's impending marriage.

In fact, she is not the only one who feels this way, the big house Shen Zang Li although back, but with injuries, the only son Shen Shuming was also sent to the Western Liang. For Mrs. Su, her most favored first young son Shen Zangji is also in Xiliang ...... so this year the whole Shen family feels disillusioned.

If not at the end of the waxing moon was picked up from the grandmother before the fourth Miss Shen Zang Ning also maintains a consistent love of laughter and love to play, leading the eighth son of the Shen convergence of Heng, the second grandson son of Shen Shuguang full of mansion play, at least added a few points of the flavor of the New Year and festivities, the large Tai Fu House is really cold and cheerless.

On the contrary, the palace, although the second half of the year because of the selection of the matter, the saint cut the Situ Wei Yu as the head of all the old ministers of the official position, and the master Duanmu woke up has not been able to heal not good to see the matter, resulting in the Wei group of officials without a head, the government is increasingly piled up but no one to approve the more and more chaotic political affairs, but the saint is now horizontal and vertical no matter what these, the one-minded enjoyment of the.

The New Year's Eve dinner, therefore, was actually more flamboyantly organized than in previous years.

Just this kind of brocade sky and embroidery, high on the imperial seat of the dying emperor, dim old eyes revealed the madness and desperate, accompanied by the seat of the royal family hampered grief and helpless look ...... how to look at it, are permeated with a kind of return to the prosperity of the light.

Even Empress Gu and Noble Consort Deng, who had maintained careful care and youthfulness for decades, seemed to have aged.

Out of fear of an emperor who only seeks pain without regard to the consequences, this year's dinner party, all the people are extraordinarily obedient to the wishes of the emperor. So the entire New Year's Eve, although the palace was laughing and joking, it was permeated with the caution of walking on thin ice.

In such a depressing atmosphere, it was thanks to the new beauties who sang and danced all night long that the long banquet was not left speechless.

New Year's Eve after the first month, each family to visit the spirit of walking, private rumors circulating, for the future of Wei more and more not optimistic. And on the ninth day of the first month, a bad news came the third son of the Great Khan of the Rong people took the initiative to ask for an order, leading an army of 300,000 people, and is raging to the important towns of Eastern Hu, such as Shichun Fort, Huangsha Town, Zhou City and other places.

The court shook!

Under these circumstances, although the good news of Yanzhou's breakthrough came on the tenth day of the first month, the imperial capital still had a tense atmosphere.

In spite of his illness, Duanmu Sheng, the Imperial Master, got up and forced his family to carry him in a soft sedan chair to the Six Ministries, where he summoned all the officials to discuss the strategy. In the case of the lieutenant clearly indicated that the Liu family may not be able to defend this offensive, the hundred officials with the fastest speed passed a resolution, that is, transfer the imperial forest army to Yanzhou to take over the mission to eliminate the remnants of Roy Lu, and the main force to break through the city of the East Hu army and Shen Zangfeng led 20,000 Western Liang army, immediately went to the East Hu to reinforce, make sure to hold inches of land!

It's hard to bypass His Holiness when it comes to deploying the Imperial Guard.

But already even the children and grandchildren do not care, only care about their own enjoyment of the saint at this time and made a mistake, and refused to let the imperial guards leave the imperial capital. Let the officials cry once the East Hu lost its defense, the Rong people drove straight down, then the imperial capital is afraid of the risk of siege, the saint just do not allow, and finally impatient, simply ordered the imperial guards will be the hundred officials will be driven out of the temple!

Hundred officials outside the temple continue to cry, do not hear the response of the saint, but heard the sound of silk and bamboo in the temple more and more loud ...... loud to cover all the sound of the cry, I think the saint is the ear does not hear for the net.

"Gu Xiaode this stupid, misguided thief ah!" The East Hu side of the hundred thousand fire urgent, the crowd this time can not have the time to go to a kneeling a few days, not to mention the last time kneeling the Palace on the fruitless so the hundred officials heard the temple silk and bamboo chaotic ears, only to return to the six ministries of Yamen, their own discussions on how to solve this matter.

As soon as he entered the door, Lieutenant Liu Sihuai slammed his tealight with an iron face, gritting his teeth and cursing out loud!

No wonder he is so angry, originally the people guessed that the saint in these years all the way to run all the way to muddle muddle, and now even more let go to enjoy, greedy in still doing the emperor of the great Wei every breath of time. For the only pinch in his hands of the imperial guard, this last barrier, will not be released. So privately with the imperial army commander Gu Xiaode discussion, let him hide from the saint to send troops ...... because Yanzhou has been Shen Zangfeng and Mo Bunwei in conjunction with the attack, Lu Boazhi more in the chaos of the army by Shen Zangfeng hand shot to death, and now the rebel Yanzhou army is a group of dragons without a leader, scattered in a hurry.

In fact, if the imperial guards go to Yanzhou now, they will be able to take credit for nothing, with no risk at all. Otherwise, Yanzhou is an important place, and the performance of the imperial guards last time, the Imperial Master and others are still not confident to let the imperial guards go!

If it were not for the Rong people attacking in force, for the sake of the national gate, the elite army of the broken city needs to immediately go to Donghu to assist in defending the country, this kind of good thing, the three families of Shen Su and Liu would never agree to give up to the imperial army!

Favorably, Gu Xiaode also followed the saint to make a mistake, insisting on not seeing the imperial decree tiger symbols not to send a single soldier!

Now that there is no army to take over Yanzhou, is it possible to let the Donghu and Xilang armies just head to Donghu?

With the provisions of Yanzhou city, these two armies, the front foot a go, the back foot a quasi-bandits crazy to the influx! Shen, Liu, Su, and the three families to contribute, but also with Wei Xin Yong made a deal to recapture the city of Yanzhou, have not yet negotiated how to share the profits it, so how to rest assured that the hand is gone!

The imperial guards used to, even if they were privately coveting money, their roots were in the imperial capital and they weren't afraid that they wouldn't spit it out when the time came. Bandits were not like that!

"Now there is no other way." Duanmu awake always amiable to show people gloomy face, no mood to beat around the bush, straight to Shen Xuan said, "the imperial army side can not be counted on for the time being, and now the Rong people's army pressure, my great Wei is originally the people change everywhere, at this moment it is desirable to pacify the people's hearts should not be changed, even if the saint's this move is mediocre, we can only be from the order ... ... ..."

The emperor has long been known to the dynasty and the countryside, but the master is stable, speech never show, this time clearly said "mediocrity" two words, and said "can only follow the order", obviously is also very angry.

"It's a good thing that there are still 40,000 Xiliang troops in the capital city." Duanmu Sheng stared at the Shen Xuan brothers and sighed, "The elite of the Xiliang army is known throughout the world and is not comparable to the Imperial Forest Army. Please also ask Tai Fu to pass down the tiger talisman in consideration of the lives of the world!"

Shen Xuan had known that the remaining 40,000 Western Liang troops were going to be targeted as early as when the hundred officials entered the palace to request His Majesty's permission for the Imperial Guard to go to Yanzhou to take over the defense and hunt down the remnants of Royce Lu, to no avail.

Honestly he is not too reluctant West Liang army sent to guard Yanzhou, although there is the benefit of near water first, and this kind of relief situation Shen family even if let go to fish for benefits, think other people will also endure ...... but he risked a first grandson on the road to suffer losses The risk of transferring the 60,000 western Liang army to the imperial capital nearby, the chaotic struggle for supremacy is still secondary, the main thing is still for the safety of Shen's original clan.

Grandchildren are young, sons and nephews in the age of half a big not big has not yet negotiated marriage ...... Shen Xuan pondered for a moment, before cautiously said "The old master's order, Xuan would not dare not obey? But Lu Haozhi has been ambushed, the remnants of its scattered, Xuan thought, this town of Yanzhou to pursue the remnants of the army, should not need 40,000 troops, right?"

Shen Zeu and elder brother a consideration victory and defeat is a common thing in the military, the safety of their own family is the most important so immediately helped "Yes, although we do not dare to take the praise of the master of the Western Liang army, but in the end it is a fight with the Dizi! Although we don't dare to be praised by Taishi, in the end, we have fought with the Di people for a few matches, and we are just guarding the city and cleaning up the rebels who have lost their military spirit, 40,000 people is a bit too many."

Duanmu Sheng frowned and said, "The Rong people are coming aggressively this time, and the morale of Donghu was low because of the fall of Yanzhou, according to my intention, I will let Zang Feng rate those 20,000 Xilang troops to sit in Yanzhou, to ensure that Donghu's supply wagons are free of defects. And the 40,000 Xilang troops in Jinggi will immediately depart for Donghu to ensure safety!"

"How can this be?" Shen Xuan was instantly displeased if Shen Zangfeng had led the 20,000 Xilang troops that fought Yanzhou to East Hu, with him presiding over them, he thought that the Xilang troops wouldn't have been harshly treated, but when these 40,000 Xilang troops went to East Hu, and there wasn't a general who could carry off the Marquis of Weiyuan to protect them, God knows how they would have been organized! When the time comes, they might be used as cannon fodder or dead soldiers by the Liu family!

After all, his eldest son Shen Zang Li returned with injuries, has not yet healed. The other sons, in addition to a Shen convergence outside are not enough to take up the responsibility of bringing tens of thousands of troops, is not to go to Shen Zeu? Shen Zeu is on the battlefield, but he is an old man, the time of the military horse also fell all the injuries, Shen Xuan how to give up this brother to suffer from the battlefield? Not to mention that he still needs the assistance of Shen Zhou on the court.

As for Shen Jingshi, he was sharpened in Xiliang when he was a teenager, and he has some roots in the Xiliang army, so he is about capable of leading the army to Donghu.

But this is from the overall situation of Wei to consider, from Shen Xuan's point of view to consider but not appropriate First, the second son of Shen Jieshi led the troops to go to East China to fight with the Rong people, as the heir to the family of the third son of Shen Zangfeng is to lead the troops to hide in the back of the relatively safe. Although the master so proposed is to take into account Shen Zang Feng in the Shen family status is important than Shen Jingshi, but undeniably, this practice is clearly unfair to Shen Jingshi, Shen Zang Feng's reputation is also damaged.

After all, Shen Zang Li is the initiative to return to the capital injured, the opportunity to take Yanzhou City to his younger brother to make a name for himself, Shen convergence of real and Shen Zang Feng different mother, temperament is not like Shen Zang Li, he may not be willing to sacrifice their own to fulfill the younger brother Shen convergence of real thousands of hope to the son of Shen Lyric Yi is now still small it!

And even if forced by his father's orders, Shen convergence real did. Not to mention the gap between the brothers thus born, this do brother in the front line to sacrifice his life, do brother fell in the back to enjoy ...... Shen Zang Feng which can not be discussed?

Secondly, Shen Xuan is also worried that in case the second son thus builds up his success, there is a team in the Xiliang army ...... in the future will not cause sibling rivalry? After all, Shen Jingshi is older than Shen Zangfeng, and now has a son at his knee. This second son although usually did not show the coveted position of the valve master, but to the age of Shen Xuan, has long been well versed in the unpredictability of the human heart.

Even if Shen Rengshi realizes that he has no ambition at all, but when he has the foundation and the dependence and the capital to be able to covet the position of the valve master, who knows if he will continue to willingly assist his younger brother?

Shen Xuan man in his prime to cultivate heir, in order to not let his children and grandchildren eat their own because of the early death of parents have no dependence on the bitter head. However, things do not go against his wishes, the first son Shen Zang Li was a Di daughter dragged down already let him sad, he does not want the second heir to have any more flashbacks ...... even if this flashbacks from their own another biological son is the same.

So for this proposal from the Imperial Master, he firmly rejected it without even thinking about it.
