The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

Ever since that day when Xuanyuan revealed the matter of "cooperating" with the Crown Prince of Great Qin to Shen Tiange, they began to arrange and act secretly. The secret guard who could be fully trusted personally rushed to the border to inform the matter. Shen Yu.

Shen Yu is a scheming man who has been guarding the border for decades. He has his own rules for marching and fighting, and he does not reject the use of strategies. It should be noted that there are also masters of strategic strategies such as Sun Tzu's Art of War and Sun Bin's Art of War.

Daqing Dynasty and Daqin Dynasty have been at war with each other for a long time, but this time I don't know if Shen Jiajun's spirit is a little weak, or maybe he is tired after fighting hard for too long. During this time, Shen Jiajun suffered several defeats in a row.

Although these battles were small battles, and the Shen Jiajun's losses were not large, the repeated losses still lowered the Shen Jiajun's morale, and the DPRK and China were quite reprimanded for the unfavorable outcome of the battle, and the Shen Jiajun coach Shen Yu was criticized.

Xuan Yuan stood with his hands behind his hands by the lake in the imperial garden, which was covered with sky-reaching lotus leaves and pink lotus flowers. He stood on the railing and stared at this emerald green. The light lotus fragrance blown by the wind was refreshing, and the breeze blew. Very refreshing and comfortable.

It was rare that he did not deal with government affairs in the imperial study room, but took a small vacation for himself to relax in the picturesque and exquisite imperial garden, which also gave the original owner's body a chance to rest. After all, his body is still too weak.

Xuan Yuan gave himself such a luxurious holiday all because he received good news.

In just these two days, the impact of the Yellow River floods was finally subsided and the disasters caused were finally eliminated. With the efforts of the Ministry of Household Affairs and county officials, the victims displaced by the Yellow River floods have been resettled. Losses are reduced to a minimum.

At this time, the rainy season has passed, and the Yellow River Basin is no longer raining heavily every day. After the heavy rain gradually stopped, the water level of the Yellow River finally dropped slowly. It is expected that after a while, the water level will be reduced to a safe range, and that Then you can start repairing dams that have been washed away by floods to prevent floods from coming again.

Now that this serious concern has finally been resolved, even if the military situation on the border becomes critical, the Shen family army suffers three or four defeats in a row, and the officials in the DPRK and the Central Government either impeach Shen Yu or excuse him, and make a fuss about it, they still can't stop Xuan Yuan's plan. good mood.

After all, it was his plan that Shen Jiajun suffered a defeat. He would not blame Shen Yu for this. At most, he felt that the chattering officials in the court were very annoying, which made Xuan Yuan feel that it was not enough to sort out the court. not enough.

"How's it going? Now you can realize what the warmth and coldness of human feelings are?" Xuan Yuan's eyes were filled with the green of the lotus leaves. The lotus leaves as big as umbrellas were like polished jasper, standing tall and graceful, emerging from the mud and unstained.

When Shen Tiange, who was standing behind Xuan Yuan, heard this, he lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "As the Shen family has lost power these days, those officials who have come to cling to us are indeed adding insult to injury and have a lot of betrayal."

In fact, this is nothing. Originally, the Shen family did not intend to form a clique. If these officials deserted, they would just abandon it. It doesn't matter. It just cleared the suspicion of the Shen family forming a clique. It's just... their actions like this are inevitable. It's chilling.

"Why, do you feel aggrieved? Do you feel that it makes you feel heartbroken that they have abandoned you?" Xuan Yuan's handsome face was cold and indifferent, as cold and noble as the snow on the mountain. The coldness came from his bones, which was extremely shocking. .

Xuan Yuan turned his head to look at Shen Tiange expressionlessly, with an indifferent expression. There were wisps of light in his dark eyes. He slightly raised the corners of his lips, and his thin lips curved into a smile that was not a smile: "What are you doing for the Shen family?" It’s not worth it, do you feel unwilling to do so?”

Shen Tiange shook his head repeatedly and said in a solemn voice: "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such thoughts." The Shen family are just ministers. If they really had such thoughts, where would they put themselves? They have never had such rebellious thoughts.

"Actually, there is nothing to feel wronged about. Loyalty is never so easy to obtain." Xuan Yuan glanced at Shen Tiange indifferently, not caring about his statement, and just turned his head and said in an understatement.

Shen Tiange didn't know how to deal with this, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he continued to stand behind the emperor in silence, watching everything around him and being careful. Since you are a guard, you must do what a guard should do.

Looking at the green lotus leaves and the pink lotus flowers dotted among them, in the breeze, the expression on Xuan Yuan's face softened, and there was a faint smile in his deep and unpredictable eyes: "The weather today is really... nice."

Seeing that the topic had turned back to the normal direction, Shen Tiange, who was following Xuan Yuan, breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, His Majesty did not pursue the previous topic and said anything more. After all, it was the Shen family who had done something wrong. If not, it would still be used now. There is no need to be frightened now because of the wrong things you did in the past.

In fact, Shen Tiange thought too much. How could Xuan Yuan deliberately test the Shen family, let alone use it to beat him? He really just asked casually, mainly because he was in a good mood to relax, so he casually chatted with Shen Tiange. .

"By the way, has Shen Xiaoyue ever mentioned 'that matter' to you?" With the refreshing wind blowing and the light but sweet scent of lotus filling his nose, Xuan Yuan lowered his eyes and smiled, looking towards the rocks across the lake. Walk down the corridor.

Shen Tiange was slightly startled, knowing that His Majesty wanted to talk to him alone, so he quickly followed. The stone corridor above the lake spans the water and is several feet away from the water. It is very safe. Even if he is the only one guarding it, the emperor should be fine.

Over the past few days, as Xuan Yuan's personal bodyguard, Shen Tiange has witnessed Xuan Yuan's diligence, as well as his methods and strategies hidden under his dignity and dignity. Unknowingly, Shen Tiange has been completely impressed.

Now he is more concerned about Xuan Yuan's safety than what Xuan Yuan wants to say to him in private. From this point of view, Shen Tiange's loyalty has been entrusted to Xuan Yuan and has been domesticated by him into a loyal dog.

Xuan Yuan walked along the stone corridor for a while. Under the corridor was the lake. The lotus leaves standing out of the water were as big as green umbrellas. The lotus flowers were pink and white. The petals were as thin as cicada wings, translucent and soft, and they bloomed in layers. is beautiful.

Standing on the stone corridor above the lake, the more you can feel the coolness blowing from the lake and the fragrance of lotus flowers. Xuan Yuan put one hand on the stone corridor, with a little darkness and comfort in his dark eyes, and his tone He said calmly: "Why don't you reply?"

Shen Tiange was silent for a moment and then said helplessly: "I am not sure what your Majesty is talking about. My sister and Concubine Yuan Gui did not tell me about it, so I am quite puzzled."

Xuan Yuan slightly raised his long eyebrows, turned around and glanced at Shen Tiange flatly, his eyes flickered slightly, with a hint of darkness: "I see." His thin lips were slightly raised, Xuan Yuan turned back, and said calmly, "That's right. Not that important."

Xuan Yuan put his hands behind his back, and the gentle breeze blowing on the lake ruffled the corners of his clothes and the black hair tied up with a jade crown. He only heard him say in an extremely indifferent tone: "If the Shen family is willing, we can take Concubine Yuan Gui in." , Shen Xiaoyue left the palace and remarried."

Shen Tiange suddenly opened his eyes, looking a little confused and surprised: "Leave the palace and remarry? But Concubine Yuan is your Majesty's concubine. There is no precedent for this!"

How could a woman who entered the palace as a concubine leave the palace and remarry? If a woman who had already become an emperor left the palace, who would dare or be able to marry her? If such a thing is done, it is likely to offend the emperor, even if the person who proposed it in the first place is the emperor.

Xuan Yuan tilted his head and glanced at Shen Tiange lightly. Although his expression was cold and his eyes were understated, Shen Tiange's heart skipped a beat for some reason, as if all the thoughts he had hidden in his heart had been glimpsed. Feeling guilty and nervous.

Xuan Yuan did hear the implication of Shen Tiange's words and knew the reason for his evasion, but he ignored Shen Tiange's caution and simply pointed out the facts indifferently: "Shen Xiaoyue is still a virgin now. After leaving the palace, she remarried. It’s the way out for her.”

"Unless you are willing to let her live her whole life alone in the palace." Xuan Yuan took a deep look at Shen Tiange, his eyes dark and solemn, with a different kind of seriousness and seriousness.

There was a flash of disbelief in Shen Tiange's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "What your Majesty means is that you have never touched Concubine Yuan Gui, and you don't plan to in the future..." His voice was a little hard, and some words were said out of embarrassment. Still can't bear to say any more.

As an elder brother, it would be a little awkward to discuss such private matters with his sister's husband, even though Shen Tiange had always been free and unrestrained and did whatever he wanted. But under the embarrassment, the surprise and shock in his heart made him even more at a loss.

He couldn't help but think about the deep meaning of His Majesty's doing so. Shen Tiange knew very well that the reason why his sister Shen Xiaoyue entered the palace in the first place was not only because she liked His Majesty's insistence, but also because His Majesty needed the help of the Shen family, so she exchanged her position as a noble concubine for the Shen family's help.

But His Majesty has never touched his sister, and he does not even plan to do so in the future. Is he doing this because he really has no intention of her, or is it because... His Majesty does not intend to allow his sister from the Shen family to give birth to an heir?

The more he thought about it, the more Shen Tiange couldn't help but sweat profusely, and he smiled bitterly in his heart, but he also knew that it was a rare kindness of His Majesty to let his sister leave the palace and remarry, and he also understood why His Majesty would mention this to him.

Taking a breath, Shen Tiange said solemnly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will persuade my sister." Since staying in the palace is a waste of time, it is better to take my sister out of the palace, and the future will still be bright.

At this time, the big eunuch by the lake received the news from a little eunuch who was running errands. A smile of surprise appeared on his face like a chrysanthemum in full bloom, and he was about to share the good news with Xuan Yuan.

"Your Majesty, it is a great joy. It seems that Concubine Rou is pregnant." After Xuan Yuan returned to the lake, the eunuch stepped forward and bowed and said with joy.

"Your Majesty is very happy!" The palace guards serving nearby also knelt down and congratulated with joy on their faces. Suddenly, the lakeside was filled with joy.
