Lord of Rebirth

Shen Xi calculated according to the time written in the imperial decree, even if they set off for the capital now, even if they could arrive before the canonization ceremony, it would be too late.

Before the canonization, they had to pay respects to the queen first, and then went to sacrifice to the heavens. From the perspective of time, it was definitely not enough.

But the imperial decree was only delivered today, and it really wasn't because of the delays caused by so many things that happened to them before. This meant that the emperor notified them only at this time, so that they couldn't make it to the capital in time.

Both Shen Xi and Sun Moyao guessed in their hearts that this must be the case, but why?Sun Moyao couldn't guess.After all, if you want to let him go, wouldn't you send it earlier?

Sun Moyao twisted his nose, he must have felt a little upset, "I think the emperor did it on purpose, that he didn't let me go on purpose, why do you think that is?" He shook his head, reached out to take the imperial decree, showing displeasure.

Seeing this, Shen Xi said, "Actually, the reason... is also very simple. Didn't the emperor want you to run around when you are fine before? Cough cough, he just wants you to sit obediently in Liangzhou. Now the emperor canonize the queen, although it is also It's an extremely important matter, but if you go to the capital because of this matter, if something happens during this period, you can't come back, and the emperor can't punish you for this, just like his previous Aren’t the ideas at odds, so it’s not incomprehensible that the imperial decree arrived at this time.”

Hearing what Shen Xi said, Sun Moyao showed a smile instead, "Oh? It's reasonable for you to say that, so I shouldn't give him this face?"

"Naturally." Shen Xi glanced at the imperial decree, "The emperor himself doesn't want this face, so why do you post it for him?"

Sun Moyao rushed forward and put his arms around Shen Xi, "You are so right! To be honest, I don't want to go."

Shen Xi looked back at him, sneered and said, "You really hate the capital so much?"

Thinking of the time when Sun Moyao led the army, he would rather make a few laps outside the capital than enter the capital once.If he hadn't thought that the emperor was going to marry him to the princess in the end, it was really impossible for him to set foot in the capital again.

"Really..." Sun Moyao frowned, "I don't like the imperial palace...there is no one in such a cold place."

Everyone in the world said that the palace had the most people, the richest people, the most lively people, but some people said that there was no popularity in the palace.

"Yes, then we won't go." Shen Xi said.

He had only stayed in the palace for a while before, and he really didn't love that place, and he really understood why the prince would say that.

Sun Moyao smiled back, but he was still a little worried, "Anyway, I have long legs, so I can do it if I don't want to. But if I don't go, I have to have a reason not to go. How should I say it? Is it called sickness? I was sick for a while before. , it was widely spread in Fengxiang Mansion..."

Shen Xi shook his head, "No, let's just say that the current situation is unstable. Your lord, you have to stay in Liangzhou, so it's not suitable to travel far. Although it's a pity that you can't come to the canonization ceremony in person, it's better than if something suddenly happened when you were not in Liangzhou. .And the queen is not the daughter of an important official of the imperial court, of course it doesn't mean that the queen can be offended, but the emperor himself doesn't pay attention to this matter, so you can't blame the prince for not being able to go."

Sun Moyao nodded seriously, "Let's write down a congratulatory memorial."

"Of course, leave this to me." Shen Xi said, "Besides, you have actually given the emperor a step by saying that. He was the one who said those words back then. If you don't go, it's not justifiable, but it's nothing. Can be blamed. I think the emperor should have told the empress about this."

"Well..." Sun Moyao said, "Then let's do this."

"Yes."

The Queen's Canonization Ceremony was held on December [-]th. Although Liangzhou had already had heavy snowfall, the capital city was not so cold.

People in Fengxiang Mansion and others in Liangzhou also heard about the bustle of the capital at this time.Thinking about it, the emperor already has a queen, that is, someone who has a family, he should become more calm and calm, handle state affairs well, and don't cause any other troubles.

But when Shen Xi learned about the queen's background and family status, he realized that they might be thinking too simply.The emperor tried his best to reject the opposition of the prime minister and others this time, and if he insisted on setting up this queen, then naturally he would offend the prime minister severely.

What's more, the relationship between the emperor and the prime minister was very stiff before, and it is basically impossible for the scene of talking together to exist. As long as the quarrel did not lift the roof of the imperial study room, it would be considered very self-restraining - these are naturally from Lu I heard it from Jufeng.

Lu Jufeng once said that it was a gift from the emperor that he could leave the imperial court temporarily to go to the Western Regions.If he stayed in the court for the past two years and watched the emperor and the prime minister fight, he might lose his life, and he might even have little chance of continuing to work for the emperor.

Shen Xi thought, this imperial palace and the court are really bloody, he was right to jump out of the fire pit as soon as possible.

They are not in the court, and they don't know that the relationship between the emperor and the prime minister is almost on the verge of breaking out.

The prime minister scolded the emperor for being a warlike faction, and the foundation of the entire Nanshun country for hundreds of years might be destroyed in his hands.

However, the emperor scolded the prime minister for being pedantic and conservative, who would only eat his laurels and sit on his laurels, and if he said that the fundamental failure was also in his hands.

Now go back to the ministers to go to the morning court, and you will see the emperor and the prime minister frowned, and then quarrel like children.

But even so, the weather in Nanshun Kingdom is still smooth.

As long as there is no interference from Xishu Kingdom and Beili Kingdom.

Not long after the Queen's Canonization Ceremony, Sun Moyao received a tip from Wei Zhenyun, and heard that there were many activities of the garrison troops in the land of Bashu and part of the border of Liangzhou.

When Sun Moyao saw the direction, he understood in his heart, and he said to Shen Xi: "The emperor wants to attack Xishu Kingdom."

Shen Xi was stunned for half a second, "This...is it too early?"

"Ziyuan, do you think now is not the time to send troops?" Sun Moyao asked him.

Shen Xi then said, "The emperor wants to send troops to Xishu today. This is something that emperors of all dynasties have wanted to do. It doesn't matter whether it is sooner or later. But now the faction of the prime ministers in the court has become hostile to the emperor. I am afraid that no matter what the emperor does or does Whether it is good or bad, they will express their objections.”

Sun Moyao frowned slightly, "However, Xishu Kingdom is an enemy, so it shouldn't be..."

"But I'm most afraid that the emperor has positive ideas, but the prime minister has no such intentions. If you don't care about it, it's fine..." Shen Xi thought for a while, and said with a smile, "Of course, I don't think Prime Minister Pei will joke about the lives of frontline generals." .”

Sun Moyao raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Yes, no matter how tense the relationship between the prime minister and the emperor is, he is not such an indiscriminate person, just leave it alone. I don't know who the emperor will appoint to take the lead this time."

"The Wei family has so many generals, there will always be one or two outstanding." Shen Xi smiled, "You don't have to worry about that."

"That's right."

However, before they heard the news from the capital, they heard that the Xishu Kingdom had sent troops to invade the western border of Yizhou, burned three villages, looted three towns, smashed the gate of a city, broke into the city at night, robbed government offices and granaries, and burned them all. He raided the county magistrate's mansion, robbed two rich merchants, and robbed the daughters of the wealthy merchants' families.

How despicable this incident was, and it quickly spread throughout the Nanshun Kingdom. The common people were filled with righteous indignation, wishing they could put on their armor and lift their long swords, and followed the general to Bashu to defend their home and country.But of course this is just talk, no matter how angry they are, most people are not willing to give up their current good life and go to a place where they will lose their heads every moment.

After learning about this, Sun Moyao could not sit still, but he couldn't calm down. He threw the paperwork on the ground and said harshly, "What's going on? I remember that there are quite a few troops in Bashu. How could they be beaten?" In this way?!"

Shen Xi didn't know the answer, so he looked up at Wei Zhenyun.

Wei Zhenyun just frowned and expressed his thoughts, "My lord, it's not like you don't know that Nanshun Kingdom has been doing well in the past few decades, and the two surrounding countries are also in peace for the time being, so there will be disturbances at the border. You, my lord, can make a name for yourself. But in places like Bashu, the garrisons are numerous, and few of them know how to fight. The commanders who lead the troops can’t even read the books on the art of war. And this time, Xishu Kingdom is attacking at night. Caught them off guard."

This is not unreasonable. In Nanshun Kingdom, there are people who have experience in leading troops and fighting, and they can count them with one hand.Not to mention the princes, but the generals in the army. If they want to fight with real swords and guns, they may not even be able to beat Sun Moyao, let alone lead troops to face the enemy's invading generals.

After hearing this, Shen Xi said, "That's right, and it was a surprise attack in the middle of the night. This is a common technique used by military strategists and generals, and it is the most difficult strategy to resist. Besides, whether it is Yizhou or Xishu Kingdom, it should have been against the emperor before." I have some understanding of my thoughts and actions, but even so, I was caught off guard by the opponent, and I am afraid that I have underestimated the enemy."

Sun Moyao frowned, "In this way, Bashu managed to recover from the troubles caused by the previous princes. Now that they are being troubled like this, what will the local people do?"

Shen Xi naturally didn't want to think in a bad direction, but they couldn't do anything now, they could only wait for the emperor's wishes.

Sure enough, within a month, there was news that the emperor was going to send troops to Xishu, appointed Wei Zhenhai, the second son of the Wei family, as the general, and brought an army of 30 to the Xishu Kingdom.

When the emperor ordered the garrison activities on the border before, the intention was naturally obvious, as if it was a kind of provocation.

As a result, the opponent was really provoked, and directly leading troops to burn the village and plunder was a kind of prestige.

But in Shen Xi's view, the two countries were at war, and the division was famous. Now Xishu Kingdom gave him a legitimate reason to lead troops to solve Xishu Kingdom.

But many people don't understand, Xishu Kingdom exists there perfectly, but why do they have to send troops to them?

However, people who are far away from Xishu Kingdom don't understand, and people who live near the border of Yizhou heard about it, but they were happy and wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate.
