"Oh." Qiao Bin left first this time, and Qiao Jin quietly ran to Qiao Ke's side and whispered, "Don't worry, we're here."

Seeing Qiao Jin running out to chase after Qiao Bin, Qiao Ke smiled with tears in his eyes.The eldest brother and the second brother doted on him too much, too much...

Before the three of them talked, it was the third day after Master Jin died.The Minister of the Ministry of War proposed the matter of soldiers changing guards at the court. It is not uncommon for a group of soldiers to change guards from the capital every year.This time when the New Year is approaching, the Minister of the Ministry of War proposes to reward the border soldiers.

"This year the whole country has a bumper harvest, and the soldiers are exposed to the wind and sun at the border, so they should be rewarded." Master Huang, Minister of the Ministry of War, has always felt sorry for the soldiers, and there is nothing wrong with making this suggestion.However, not to mention the number of soldiers, once the order is ordered, the reward will be a large sum.The imperial court did not treat soldiers harshly in ordinary seasons, and even gave out gifts on major festivals.Recently, there have been small battles at the border, and there have been no major fights. At this time, rewards are inevitable...

Shen Xi felt that this matter had nothing to do with him, and went in his left ear and out of his right ear.What's more, he felt that the soldiers worked hard, and rewards were fine.

Naturally, some people objected to the proposal of the Minister of the Ministry of War, especially Lord Lu, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry: "I think it is inappropriate. Soldiers go to the border to guard the country, not to enjoy the blessings. Which item does the country not need money? In summer, when there is flooding and drought, spending money is like It’s like running water. The Baiyun Temple was burned a few days ago, and the imperial court should have paid for it to repair it. The people’s willingness to contribute money and effort is their intention, and this is the imperial court’s responsibility.”

"It sounds good. Who doesn't know what gardens and palaces your Ministry of Industry will build soon, and you haven't heard a sound when the white money is in your hands." Master Huang rolled his eyes, "You want money , the Housekeeping Department wants it. What does it have to do with our soldiers."

"What do you mean you didn't hear a sound?" Master Lu was furious, "The palace is built there, and there is no long-distance running. You don't know how to see it!"

"I don't want to look at it." Master Huang became stubborn, "Anyway, it's good-looking, so what's the practical use?"

"Please explain clearly to me what is meaningless!" Master Lu rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was going to talk to Master Huang endlessly, "Do you understand what is historical wealth? If you search history, there are not many of them Representative buildings. Even if we can't see how they did it with our own eyes. But as long as the things are there, we can always step on the pace of history and see the disappearing dynasties. Now we are doing our best to create something, We will be able to leave our deep footprints in the torrent of history.”

Listen, Shen Xi felt that Mr. Lu also made sense.But Mr. Huang is not necessarily wrong, what will the emperor do?

"We will discuss this matter later." Emperor Xuanhe decisively chose to delay, announcing his resignation.After retiring from the court, Shen Xiongcai and several senior officials were invited to the imperial study.Shen Xi left the palace without stopping, and went back to work in the Ministry of Punishment.He remembered that during the last scientific expedition, the emperor asked how to deal with the emptiness of the treasury.

I saw Master Huang and Master Lu fighting again today, blushing and thick neck.Shen Xi couldn't help but think, is the court really so short of money?

That night, Shen Xiong called the whole family to announce something: "This time the changing of the guard, the emperor ordered Buya to escort them, and replace Buhuo and Buzhi to return to the court. The emperor was concerned about Buhuo and Buzhi who had been stationed at the border for many years, and specially asked them to go home and be with them. family reunion."

Replace Shen Buhuo and Shen Buzhi, who have experienced many battles, with an inexperienced Shen Buya?It's impossible for Shen Xi not to think too much, wouldn't there be a risk when the replacement was just made?Soldiers have always only obeyed those who are capable.Shen Buya did go to the barracks to practice every day, but it was different from actual combat.People in each place will form different circles of influence after staying for a long time. Shen Buya used to be an outsider to the border soldiers.

Shen Xi frowned and asked: "How could the emperor make such a decision for no reason? Who suggested it?"

"Prince." Shen Xiong managed to see Shen Xi's surprised look, "The prince agreed to reward the soldiers, and then suggested this way. The Ministry of Households has always been low-key, and will pay out money when major events happen. At this time, the reward will probably keep them busy for a while. .”

Noticing the important point in Shen Xiongcai's words, Shen Yu was puzzled: "Is the Minister of the Household Department the prince's man?"

"The crown prince has always been weak, and only the Ministry of Household Affairs works for him." Shen Xiong sighed, "Fortunately, the crown prince is kind and never withholds military pay. Sometimes even if he can't get it out, he will try his best to pay the military pay first, and then consider it later." other things."

So in the hearts of the soldiers, the crown prince is more prestigious than the third prince and the sixth prince?Shen Xi curled her lips, after all, she was a parent.

"In fact, there's nothing wrong with changing the guard." Qiao Ke tugged at the hem of Shen's clothes and looked at Yi Wanyue and Hu Xixi, "The two younger brothers and sisters happen to spend a lot of time with the younger brothers. I hope they will be happy soon, and they will add to the general's mansion. Husband, you Say it?"

Unexpectedly, Shen Hao was completely speechless.It seems that when the two younger brothers and sisters married in, the two younger brothers rushed to the border after paying homage.Four years, or five years?It's pitiful to stay alone in an empty room for so long.Shen Xi felt guilty, she shouldn't show her affection...

"I don't know if Buhuo and Buzhinian can rush back." Mrs. Shen greeted Fengxu, "Let's clean up for Buya."

Feng Xu got up and saluted with a smile, and followed Mrs. Shen to pack Shen Buya's burden.Knowing that he was going to the border, Shen Buya seemed very happy: "In my dreams, I dreamed that I could guard the border like my father and brothers. I never thought that my dream would come true!"

Maybe... a good decision?Shen Xi couldn't help but think so.No one is born with something, they always have to overcome it.

The household department needs to prepare materials, and the army needs various arrangements, and the departure is scheduled for ten days later.Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

After the morning court ended, Shen Xi, who was about to leave the palace, was stopped by the prince.The prince smiled slightly: "Congratulations to your brothers who are about to be reunited."

"Thank you, Prince, for your hard work." Shen Hao didn't intend to accept the prince's favor, "but has the prince ever thought about how Buya, who has never been in actual combat, will go to the border to convince the people. Although the soldiers below are all veterans brought out by the Shen family , but Bu Ya is only 16 years old."

"Does Mr. Shen underestimate his younger brother?" The prince was helpless, "Shen Buhuo went to the border at the age of 13, made great achievements at the age of 14, and became a young general at the age of 15. Shen is not restrained. Why does Mr. Shen not trust the 16-year-old Shen? Can you command thousands of troops?"

Because he was underage at the age of 16 in his impression, modern thinking made him treat Shen Buya as a child.Shen Hao didn't want to talk about this with the prince, and he didn't want to know whether the prince had good intentions or ulterior motives.Shen Xie sighed and said quietly: "I hope everything is well." I hope that what he is worried about will not happen; I hope that there is no sign of the Shen family's decline; I hope that there is no conspiracy behind this change of guard.

"Master Shen, why do you always think of the bad?" The prince said optimistically, "You should believe that the Shen family's army is invincible."

"Invincible? It's just buried in a foreign land." Shen Hao turned and left.White-haired people give black-haired people, even though it's peaceful now...

The prince looked at the back of Shen Yu and smiled faintly: "Buried bones in a foreign land? Maybe it is. It is because of this that I am invincible."

The wind blew away the prince's words and messed up his robe, but it couldn't blow away the confident smile on his face.He believed in Shen Jiajun...

When Shen Hao came home, Qiao Ke saw that Shen Hao was not in a very high spirits and asked, "Still worried about Bu Ya's going to the border?"

"Is it useful for me to worry?" Sitting Shen Yu hugged Qiao Ke's waist, "I feel uneasy that my child will go to the battlefield. He is only sixteen. You said that if our child dies in the future On the battlefield, what shall we do? Don’t worry about dying.”

"Even if you are worried about death, you still have to let them go." Qiao Ke gently touched Shen Yu's head, "Because you love them."

Love them, so respect their choices.Shen Xi pouted and acted like a baby: "So it's better to have a girl by your side."

"Girls always get married." Knowing what Shen Hao was going to say, Qiao Ke said first, "Even if you want to marry her, don't you have to ask her opinion? Husband, the child will have his own way when he grows up. We It’s good to be worried and supportive, isn’t it?”

"I found that you love talking about me more and more." Shen Xi sniffed and pretended to cry, "Hey, Qiao Ke doesn't love her husband anymore."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qiao Ke pushed Shen Yu angrily, "What will it look like for Yu'er to see. Is it embarrassing?"

"If you don't lose face, you won't lose face." Shen Yu gently stroked Qiao Ke's stomach, "I hope they can all grow up happily."

Shen Xi kissed Qiao Ke's stomach through the clothes, with a smile on his lips.Qiao Ke smiled happily, as if his whole life was frozen at this moment.

"Father, grandma." The nanny ran in with Shen You.Shen You ran towards Shen Yu, and hugged Shen Yu's thigh.

Picking up Shen You, Shen Yu grabbed Shen You's little hand and touched Qiao Ke's belly: "Does You'er like a younger brother or a younger sister?"

"Hi, I like them all." Shen You said in a childish voice.The nanny smiled gratifiedly.Shen Hao and Qiao Ke looked at each other and smiled.

Ten days later, Shen Buya led his team to set off for the border.Mrs. Shen and her family saw off at the gate of the city, watching the long procession go away.Thinking of the scene when they sent Shen Buhuo and Shen Buzhi away, Mrs. Shen's eyes were wet.Now they sent Shen Buya away again.

I don't know if it's because of the cold, or because nothing major happened, it was much quieter in the early morning.The repair progress of Baiyun Temple was very slow, and the work stopped immediately after entering the winter moon.Mr. Lu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was obviously unhappy about this matter, so he slumped his face early and ignored people.

The palace made preparations for the New Year's banquet in advance. This year, because many officials came to Beijing to serve, the emperor allowed them to bring their family members.When talking about this matter, Emperor Xuanhe named Shen Yu by name, and he should not make excuses for his absence.Shen Xi, who was thinking about this matter, was unhappy, why...

"I know that your husband is pregnant." Emperor Xuanhe knew that Shen Hao had always been reluctant to attend the banquet. He didn't come to the annual banquet last year, but it's not a big deal that he hasn't attended. "Since you returned to Beijing, I have never I haven't seen your husband. What are you hiding? Let me see what's wrong? I tell you that you must bring your husband to the New Year's banquet. Otherwise, you will disobey the order and I will punish you severely."

"Your Majesty, since you know that my husband is pregnant, you should also know that he has limited mobility." Shen Yu argued, "It's snowing and cold in winter, so I'm worried about something happening. Besides, he's never been in the palace. As soon as I bumped into the emperor, wouldn't it be..."

"Don't worry, there are many imperial doctors with superb medical skills in the palace, and they will not let your husband have trouble." Emperor Xuanhe directly replied Shen Yu's words, "Don't be afraid of him running into me. I will give him a grace, no matter what happens What, never blame him."

"Okay." Shen Hao immediately agreed.Anyway, he just came to the palace to have a meal, and he could leave after eating and drinking.

Laughed out of anger, Xuan Hedi shook his head helplessly: "You. You really don't want to take a loss, and you will learn a lesson sooner or later."

"Thank you for your instruction." Shen Xi saluted without sincerity, "I must take it as a golden rule and remind myself all the time."

Unwilling to listen to Shen Xi's lip service anymore, Emperor Xuanhe announced his resignation.Shen Xi curled her lips, there was another trouble...
