Lord of Rebirth

Chapter 203 Speculation

Compared to Ling Feihe, Sun Moyao really seemed a little restless.

At the beginning, they could still receive some news about Wei Zhenyun, and when they returned to Shen Xi, they immediately sent someone to tell Mrs. Wei, but after that, it seemed that the whole team had evaporated, and no more news came.

The last information about them is that Wei Zhenyun led the team into the mountains to rescue his second brother.

Did it work?Still failed?No one knew, but in the next two months, they all lost news with Wei Zhenyun.

Ling Feihe didn't say anything, but he was more anxious than anyone else in his heart.But she also knew that she couldn't be so worried, otherwise it would be bad for the child in her stomach.Even when she went to the palace, she forced a smile on her face and was worried.

Finally, when Ling Feihe was eight months pregnant, news came from the front line.

Wei Zhenyun successfully rescued Wei Zhenhai, and the whole army returned to the garrison on the Bashu border. A total of 50 troops passed by, but nearly 10 troops have already been lost. Should be responsible for this.

Having said that, the emperor has no intention of recalling the two generals for the time being, nor has he issued an imperial edict to punish Wei Zhenhai.Instead, letting them be stationed at the border temporarily seems to have other plans.

This incident reached Sun Moyao's ears. He dragged Shen Xi and asked quickly, "What does the emperor mean now? Zhenyun can't come back yet? His wife is about to give birth!"

Shen Xi shook his head, "I think Xishu Kingdom is inevitable for the emperor, and he must win it before he can give up. Otherwise, if all the generals are recalled this time, there will be no chance to do anything in the future!"

But Sun Moyao said, "The future is long, so there will be no chance in the future?"

Shen Xi glanced at him, "Could it be that Xishu Kingdom will continue to burn villages and snatch people at the border in the future? It is absolutely impossible for the emperor to retreat now, even if it is just because of what happened before, he absolutely cannot retreat."

"You're right." Sun Moyao nodded, "I don't think too much, maybe it's because I've lived a stable life for too long, and I don't think about other things because I'm too comfortable with it."

"I'm not blaming you..." Shen Xi thought to himself, the tone of the little prince was too scary.

Sun Moyao turned to smile and said, "I know! But being with you, Ziyuan, allows me to think about so many things, which is the most important thing!"

"Oh……"

Sun Moyao hugged Shen Xi from behind, turned his head from his left shoulder to his right shoulder, and asked again: "Then what do you think the emperor should do now?"

Shen Xi thought about it for a while, and then said: "The emperor will probably send a military adviser there... I guess, now there is no way to deal with the Xishu Kingdom with just a few generals in charge, so I can only send people there. And where is it now?" There are still 40 troops guarding the area, and there is no need to send any more troops. In the current army, there is a lack of a person who can really see the situation clearly."

"Military division..." Sun Moyao still couldn't laugh or cry.Now it's not like in the past when the countries fought in melee, how can anyone in the court be regarded as a military adviser?Even the title is gone!

Moreover, those who are still willing to read military books are probably only those generals who lead troops to fight. If so, how many people can read well in the army now?

Sun Moyao said helplessly, "Who else could it be? Either you people who follow Wang You Guoshi... Eh?! No way? Could it be that the emperor wants to send you there?"

Hearing this, Shen Xi didn't know how to answer, "Impossible, you are thinking too much, my lord? Don't always think that I am the one being targeted by the emperor... Cough, even if you are being targeted, don't you Forget, I am the concubine appointed by the emperor to marry you, what? Is there anyone in this world who assigns concubines to the battlefield? Does the prince agree?"

Sun Moyao said righteously: "My lord expresses his disapproval! Alas, you are right...then the emperor will really do this?"

Shen Xi coughed dryly, "It's just my speculation... If it were me, I would definitely do this. Rather than letting a few generals lead the army to run around like headless chickens on the front line, it's better to invite someone to go , to turn the tide."

"Then who do you think it could be?" Sun Moyao thought for a while, "Could it be the prime minister? Impossible..."

"Actually, the prime minister is quite capable." Shen Xi said so, but he didn't explain much, and continued: "But the prime minister was the first to oppose the emperor's doing this. Even if he was really sent, he would If you are unwilling to do so, you may not cause any damage when you reach the border, and you will definitely treat them negatively, so that would be meaningless."

"Um……"

"Actually, there is one person. If it were me, I would let him go."

Sun Moyao asked puzzledly, "Who?" But soon he opened his eyes, "Oh! You mean Ju Feng?!"

Shen Xi nodded, "Yes, not to mention Sui Bai's ability, and it is also very effective for Sui Bai's career...Of course, the premise is that the emperor really intends to let Sui Bai return to the court to help him, otherwise it will be fine." use."

Sun Moyao put his arms around Shen Xi and shook his body, "You're right, Sui Bai has this ability, unless the emperor is stupid, let alone Xishu Kingdom's side, he will be restrained by the prime minister from now on... But having said that, Ziyuan, are you a bit powerful?"

"Ah? What?" Shen Xi looked back at the prince.

Sun Moyao raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, "How can you think of these things?"

"My lord, these things haven't been implemented yet! If the emperor really thinks so, it won't be too late for you to praise me again!"

Sun Moyao laughed, "It's never too late to praise you!"

Shen Xi looked at him, this little prince could really say such words anytime and anywhere.And today, Shen Xi is a little embarrassed.So he broke free from the embrace of the little prince and went to the study alone.

And how could Sun Moyao be the one who let him go, so he turned around and followed in.He thought, although the relationship between Nanshun Kingdom and Xishu Kingdom is tense now, as long as there is one more day like this, it is a gift of one day.

What Sun Moyao praised Shen Xi before was not wrong at all.

Not long after, the emperor issued an imperial decree, assigning Lu Jufeng to the front line to support General Wei.

Shen Xi was quite satisfied with the imperial decree, thinking that the only person the emperor can use now is Lu Jufeng.For other people, it is still a question of whether they can be completely loyal to the emperor, but for Lu Jufeng, he will definitely do his best for the emperor.

Moreover, when Shen Xi thought about it this way, Lu Jufeng's ability is naturally not a problem. As long as he can successfully break through the Xishu Kingdom this time, his achievements will definitely be unparalleled.Not to mention that the position of the chief historian of the Western Regions has allowed him to sit in a high position after returning to the court, let alone this time, it is not surprising that he returned to the court after making great achievements, even if he became a prime minister.

Thinking of this, Shen Xi broke out in a cold sweat.

Could it be that this is what the emperor meant?

In fact, the emperor has already calculated this step?First drive Lu Jufeng to the Western Regions, and remove him from the imperial court—or even from the eyes of the prime minister, lest they stare at Lu Jufeng all day and cause any bad results.Afterwards, the incident in Xishu Kingdom occurred, and the entire court knew that no matter whether it was the prime minister or anyone else, they would not stand by the emperor, so the emperor chose Lu Jufeng as a matter of course, and when he returned in triumph, he would not do it for him. A high-ranking official, the entire court can't justify it.

Moreover, during this period of time, the emperor was still able to deal with the prime minister slowly, especially in his attitude towards the matter of Xishu Kingdom. In the end, he could say that the prime minister's assistant was not good for him and let him leave the high position.Even if an unwarranted charge is used in the end, the prime minister can completely shut up.

In other words... Chen Xi thought, Lu Jufeng, the prime minister, is probably going to sit still?

Shen Xi didn't dare to say anything more about this matter, it would be a serious crime to speculate casually on the emperor's meaning.It doesn't matter if you don't guess correctly, but if you guess correctly, I'm afraid it will arouse the emperor's suspicion, so it's better not to speak.

Now that it is confirmed that Lu Jufeng is going to the Bashu border, he will naturally pass through Fengxiang Mansion when he leaves the Western Regions.

Not long after, the people sent by the prince picked up Lu Jufeng early.It's just that this time because of the tense situation, Lu Jufeng cannot be allowed to stay longer in Fengxiang Mansion.

It's just that they originally planned to meet Lu Jufeng outside the city, and then escort him all the way to the south without stopping in between.

But who would have thought that they had just arrived at the gate of the city, and before they saw the team welcoming Lu Jufeng, someone rushed to say that Mrs. Wei had given birth prematurely.

But it's only nine months, it's not yet a full month, and when Mrs. Wei gives birth to a big baby, it will be less than a month.

Shen Xi glanced at the lord, and could only say: "My lord, then I'll go to Wei's house to have a look, and I'll trouble you to send one to the old man."

"That's the only way." Sun Moyao nodded.

When Shen Xi arrived at Wei's residence, Mrs. Wei's second child had not yet been born.And Dabao stood alone at the door, and there was not even half of the maids following him.Shen Xi walked up and saw that Dabao's eyes were red and he was holding back his tears, so he was probably frightened.

But when he saw Shen Xi coming, Dabao burst into tears. He hugged Shen Xi's leg and said, "Uncle Shen! It's all my fault! Wow!"

Shen Xi quickly picked him up and sat on the stone bench beside him to comfort him.After careful questioning, he found out that his mother was hit by him and fell to the ground before giving birth prematurely.

"Don't be sad." Shen Xi was also a little flustered, "Madam Wei must be fine, your mother must be fine."

"Wow wow..." Dabao was still crying, lying on Shen Xi's shoulder, with a lot of snot and tears.

Shen Xi knew that he felt guilty, but after all, he was just a child, how could he be blamed?

Not long after, the prince came and brought Lu Jufeng.
