I painted skin in the cemetery for 15 years

Then, Shen Gongao said hoarsely: "I will immediately write a secret letter and donate the red land territory to the empire free of charge."

After the eunuch listened.

Immediately, he put the second secret decree into the box by himself, sealed it up completely, took it back to Beijing, and handed it over to His Majesty the Emperor for destruction.

Then, the eunuch said: "Call everyone in, for such a happy event, the decree must be announced publicly."

Next!

The door opens.

Mu Hongyu and others all entered.

The eunuch unfolded the imperial edict again, and said loudly: "Your Majesty has an edict."

Shen Gongao led hundreds of people and all knelt down.

"Following the emperor's order, Shen Wuque, Marquis of Zhenhai, the third son of Shen Gong Ao, is intelligent, courageous, wise and generous. He was conferred the title of Viscount of the Empire, titled Qingping, and the title of Imperial Black Dragon Terrace Hereditary Thousand Households. This is my honor!"

The eunuch's voice resounded throughout the hall.

"Your Majesty accepts the order, thank you for your kindness."

Everyone in the Shen Gong family, kowtow to thank you.

Wu Que stepped forward and accepted the imperial decree.

Immediately felt heavy.

"Congratulations to Viscount Qingping, I hope you will come to Beijing as soon as possible. Your Majesty wants to see you very much." The eunuch smiled and said, "Let's take our leave now."

Ordinarily, Shen Gongao should bribe a large sum of money and leave this great eunuch to drink.

But now he can't.

Moreover, this great eunuch has achieved his goal, so he doesn't care about this meal of wine anymore.

A moment later, the eunuch left Zhenhai Marquis' Mansion with a guard of honor.

................................................

In the study, Shen Gongao stared at the map on the wall, in a daze for a while.

Red Clay Ridge!

His coveted clay collar.

He had fought for the Red Territory for several years and suffered 3 casualties.

Paid the price of two sons.

Now, completely lost.

For the third son, for the only intact son.

He chose to forego the red clay.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Gongao rubbed the ink and began to write the memorial.

There is no fancy rhetoric, no parallelism, just a straightforward sentence.

"My minister, Shen Gongao, is willing to donate the red land territory to the empire for free!"

There is no more than half a word left.

This shows the personality of the person.

After finishing writing, seal the wax seal, affix the seal, and put it into a special zipped box.

Shen Gongao has the right to play a secret performance, he used to feel very proud, but now he only feels ashamed.

"Come on! Eight hundred miles, hurry up and send this secret book to the capital!"

A samurai entered, took the secret box, bowed and said, "Yes!"

Then he left directly, took a team of knights, and galloped north to the imperial capital.

Wucai entered the study.

Shen Gongao said bitterly: "Wu Que, you don't need to comfort your father, and you don't need to feel guilty. You can't blame you for all this. Someone treats you as a weapon, and treats you as a father's weakness. It's not your fault."

Wu Que said: "You should be on the front line of the red clay collar at this time, why did you come back early? A few hours ago, I sent people to transport gold to the front line to distribute pensions."

Shen Gongao said: "Wu Que, I don't have any other skills to be a father, but I have the skills to fight. Didn't the granary in Magic Stone City be burned? Aren't we short of food? So I used the Zhaxing Pavilion as a mortgage to borrow from the Tianxiahui 80 taels of silver to buy grain."

He nods his head, indicating that he knows about it.

Shen Gongao said: "While I sent people to buy grain, on the other hand, I led 2000 people into the Kingdom of Dali, and looted three cities. The food was enough, and the more than 100 million taels of silver to comfort the brothers was also enough."

As soon as these words came out, Wu Que was shocked and speechless.

Awesome!

This Shen Gongao's thinking is really simple and rude.

When the food was burned, I went to grab it.

The silver is gone, so I'll grab it too!

"Of course, the people who went to plunder were the Moro army, and they have nothing to do with our Shen Gong family." Shen Gongao laughed.

"To be honest, my father dare not have too much hope for you, because in such a short period of time, it is too difficult to earn three or four million taels of silver. How could my father put the burden on you? So just I went out in person, while the other side pretended to borrow money to buy food, and even mortgaged the Zhaxing Pavilion, while the other side robbed it."

"But I didn't expect that you actually did it and earned 600 million taels of silver. In comparison, this achievement of being a father is nothing."

Still speechless.

He thought that Shen Gongao's going to the front was really to maintain the morale of the army and prevent mutiny.

Unexpectedly, people directly support war with war, and maintain the morale of the army with looting and fighting.

So when it comes to military affairs, Shen Gongao is absolutely YYDS.

Then, Shen Gongao sighed: "However, all the price has been paid. We have lost the red soil territory forever. From now on, the expansion of our Shen Gong family is over."

Wu Que said: "Do you know who wrote all of this?"

Shen Gongao said: "Who?"

Wu Que said: "Li Shiyun, the prefect of Nanhai County, he dedicated this strategy to the emperor."

"I killed Li Shiyun's cousin. I killed hundreds of garrisons in Nanhai County. Li Shiyun didn't say anything, without any public reprimand. Instead, he used this charge to force you to hand over the red soil collar to keep me."

"After I ordered the beheading of the Nanhai County garrison, he began to plan all this."

"Now, he should have shown his face in front of the emperor. If I'm not wrong, after the eunuch who announced the decree left our house, he went directly to Nanhai County's prefect's mansion to praise Li Shiyun."

Shen Gongao said: "Li Shiyun, step on our heads to make meritorious service in front of the emperor? Use the heads of hundreds of Nanhai County garrison to dye the top of his official hat red?"

Wu Que said: "Yes! All along, we have been focusing on the Mi family, but we have underestimated the prefect."

..................................................................

Wu Que's guess is not bad at all.

After the eunuch left Zhenhai Marquis's Mansion, he did not return directly to the Imperial Capital, but went to the Nanhai County Prefect's Mansion.

"Your Majesty has an order, Li Shiyun, the prefect of Nanhai County, accepts the order!"

Li Shiyun knelt down.

"Li Shiyun, dedicated to his career, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, was conferred the title of Bachelor of Attendant of Tongwen Pavilion, and his mother, Lin's family, was granted the imperial order of the fourth rank. I respect you!"

Li Shiyun kowtowed and said with tears in his eyes, "Thank you, Lord Long En! Long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live, long live!"

The eunuch handed over the imperial decree to Li Shiyun and said, "Prefect Li, keep up the good work."

After Li Shiyun received the imperial decree, he said: "Thank you for your encouragement, the chief supervisor, I have prepared a banquet, please thank the chief supervisor for your face."

The eunuch said: "I will stop drinking the wine."

Li Shiyun pulled the eunuch's sleeve and said: "No, you must drink! Otherwise, the world will rumor that I, Li Shiyun, don't know how to be polite."

The eunuch couldn't postpone it, so he stayed to eat wine.

At the banquet, Li Shiyun called two beauties to accompany him.

"Prefect Li, please seek wealth and wealth. If you stay in Nanhai County and guard a Shen Gongao who doesn't know how to advance or retreat, you are not afraid that you will not have credit." The benefits of the Gong family, and now that Shen Wuyu is unconscious, the Shen Gong family has become a treasure, and people can get whatever they want."

Li Shiyun said: "What about Shen Wuque? What do you think?"

The eunuch said: "Extremely clever, but showing his sharpness, and he doesn't know how to hide his clumsiness. It is another version of Shen Gongao, but Shen Gongao is the edge of martial arts, and Shen Wuque is the edge of literature. But they are just smart, without wisdom, and they are not close to death. Far."

Li Shiyun said: "I deeply feel the same way. When Shen Wuque ordered the shooting of the Nanhai County garrison in Zhenhai Marquis's Mansion, and angrily killed Bai Chongguang and Li Tianyun, I was extremely shocked! There are still such people who don't know how to advance or retreat in this world, so frantically wanting to die The man. I was ecstatic when I was shocked, Shen Wuque really handed over the huge responsibility of the crime to my hands, and let me get whatever I want."

Then, Li Shiyun said: "Poor Shen Gongao. He lost his two sons and suffered 3 casualties before he won Hongtuling. Because of Shen Wuque's momentary arrogance and prestige, he lost it forever. This Shen Wuque seems to be The Shengong family has made great achievements, but in fact it has brought disaster to the entire Shengong family."

The eunuch said: "I heard that Li Taishou and Na Zhifan once married each other?"

Li Shiyun said lightly: "This woman looks smart, but she is actually stupid. Since he made a choice, he must pay the price."

The eunuch smiled and said: "Prefect Li is so proud, why should a husband worry about not having a wife? But His Majesty really appreciates Shen Wuque's literary talent, so you should find a way to keep him here, and it is best to sleep here forever!"

"It's not just me, King Mi will do everything possible to let Mr. Wuque rest here forever!"

Then, Li Shiyun's beautiful face appeared inside.

He is still determined to win this woman, but in another way.

Shen Wuque, how can you not die?For Zhifan, you are going to die!

................................................

Inside the study of Zhenhai Marquis Mansion.

Seeing the incomparable pain and loss on Shen Gongao's face.

Shen Gongao smiled and said, "Why bother?"

Shen Gongao forced a smile and said: "Yes, since it has already been lost, why bother? As long as our father and son are united, what kind of family business will not be able to earn back in the future? Besides, my Shen Gong family has expanded to this point in the past ten years, so we should be content."

Even so, Shen Gongao was still in pain.

Wu Que said slowly: "No, we will not lose the red soil territory."

Shen Gongao was stunned and said: "The secret book for my father has been handed over, and I will donate the red soil collar to the empire for free."

Wu Que said: "What I want is that you hand over this secret document, so that my plan can be more calm!"

Shen Gongao was startled.

The red soil collar has been dedicated to the empire, can it be taken back?

Wu Que said indifferently: "If the emperor wants to make me a viscount, then I will accept it without hesitation. But I want the title, and I also want the red soil collar."

Shen Gongao looked at Wuque in disbelief.

This, this is impossible!

"Not only do I want to get back the red soil collar, but I also want to kill Li Shiyun in one fell swoop, and let him kill everyone!"

"Originally, my plan was not quite complete, but as soon as the eunuch came today and these imperial edicts came, my plan was complete, and my steps were able to walk more leisurely."

Then, Wu Que took out his pocket watch and checked the time.

It's twelve o'clock at midnight!

"Give me an army." Wu Que said, "We don't need too many people, but we need to be strong. Five to six hundred people are enough. We need the top and most elite warriors!"

Shen Gongao tremblingly said: "My son, what are you going to do? Don't take risks, leave it to Weifu to do!"

Wu Que said: "No, you can't do this. Only I can do such vicious and shameless things. And I think the less you know, the better!"

After finishing speaking, Wu Que stretched out his hand towards Shen Gongao.

Want military power.

Shen Gongao's heart was trembling.

He really didn't know what Shen Wuque was going to do.

This son is very caring and close.

But sometimes, it feels very mysterious.

Because, he never told Shen Gongao what he was going to do.

For example, he won the big exam in Xuecheng and killed Fu Tieyi.
