Shen Yuanxu said with a firm look: "I know this is an incomprehensible move, but uncles and aunts, please listen to my analysis!"

Shen Congwen rolled his eyes at his second brother and angrily said, "What a good son you have taught!"

Shen Conglian looked innocent: "Brother, don't blame me. I didn't teach him much." It's just that his son is good-looking.

Seeing that the person didn't take the situation seriously at all and was even complacent, Shen Congwen was so angry that his beard was about to stand on end.

Shen Yuanxu said calmly: "Without real talent, even if I sit at the top of the literati, it is still a castle in the air. Uncle, you know my knowledge. Now that our Shen family is in power, no one dares to say anything. Once the world is peaceful one day, I, the dean of the White Deer Academy, will be the first to be criticized by the literati!"

Shen Conglian said without thinking: "Literati are sour and they love to harp on other matters!"

This remark also included Shen Congwen as an insult, but Shen Congwen did not get angry and instead remained calm.

"I was born on the battlefield. I can't read and I have no interest in reading. If I want to climb up, I still have to go the battlefield. Now is a good opportunity. I also want to make achievements like Yuan Jing!"

Shen Congwen felt a little uncomfortable when mentioning Shen Yuanjing.

When Shen Lanxi arranged for Shen Yuanjing to go to the northwest, he opposed it, but it was useless and Shen Yuanjing went anyway.

Not only did he go there, he also defeated the invading foreign tribes many times and has now become famous in the northwest.

Shen Conglian: "Brother, you can't allow your son to achieve great things and not allow my son to go to the battlefield!"

Liu pulled Shen Conglian and said that there was no mercy on the battlefield and she didn't want her son to go.

Shen Conglian acted as if he didn't feel anything and ignored Liu.

"You...what nonsense are you talking about. I am your brother." Shen Congwen was so angry that veins were popping out.

"Do you think it's so easy to go to the battlefield? Do you know how many men have ever returned from the battles in history?" Shen Congwen began to tremble again with anger.

Shen Conglian is in charge of recruiting soldiers, how could he not know?

He wanted his son to go because he knew that.

Shen Yuanxu: "Uncle, I have made up my mind. Lan Xi also asked me to bring along the sons in my family who are willing to go with me to gain experience."

The third and fourth rooms were in a state of uncertainty, yet they were also hesitant.

The battlefield is indeed dangerous. If you die or are injured, even if you have won military merit and earned wealth and glory, you won’t be able to enjoy them alive!

"Brother, I'll go with you!" Shen Yuanqing was the first to step forward and respond.

"Brother, I'm going too!" Shen Yuanqing.

"Brother, I'm going too..."

"Big brother..."

"Brother, I'm going too!" Shen Yuanxin hurried over.

Everyone in the room looked at the man who was running breathlessly.

Shen Yuanxin had been staying indoors ever since the death of the Tenth Princess. He even had his meals brought to his room. They hadn't seen him for a long time.

Shen Congwen's eyes widened with anger.

Each and every one of them turned upside down.

"You all want to go, do you want all the men of my Shen family to go to the battlefield?"

"If something happens to you, who will support the Shen family in the future?"

"You unfilial things, do you want your elderly family members to die before your young ones?" Shen Congwen stomped his feet in anger.

Shen Yuanxu said in a deep voice: "This is Lan Xi's arrangement, not the order of the Regent."

All the sons of the Shen family were invited to take this opportunity to achieve success, which shows that Lan Xi still favors the Shen family.

Shen Congwen fell backwards in anger.

"Boss, why are you so angry? Sit down!" Old Madam Shen has learned a lot from the master recently, and the most learned thing is the skill of nourishing qi.

The master had already analyzed the pros and cons with her, and she understood it better than anyone else in the family.

"Lan Xi wants our Shen family to gain a firm foothold in the court. Even if the prince ascends the throne in the future, he will not be able to touch our Shen family at all."

Shen Yuanxu looked at his grandmother in surprise: "Grandma, you are really the ancestor of our family. You are so insightful."

Madam Shen said confidently, "Our family is now prosperous and may seem to be at its peak, but if any prince starts a rebellion, the first thing he will attack is our family."

The third and fourth children all looked at their mother in disbelief. How could their mother say such wise words?

Although Shen Congwen was very angry, he did not dare to disobey his mother.

"Mother, do you want them to go?" Those are all the adult males in their family!

Old Madam Shen was also reluctant.

Shen Yuanxu: "You can go or not, it's all up to you!"

"We're all willing to go."

"I'd like to go too!"

“We all volunteer!”

The men of the Shen family rushed to go, fearing that they would not be allowed to go.

Shen Conglian: "Brother, our sons are not good at studying. Don't expect them to succeed in the imperial examinations in this life!"

Although this sentence hurts, it is the truth.

In the previous spring examination, no one from the Shen family passed the exam, and Shen Congwen was so embarrassed that he didn't dare go out for several days.

Shen Conglian: "If big brother doesn't allow it, then ask Lan Xi again and see what she says."

When Shen Lanxi was mentioned, Shen Congwen's face darkened. He didn't ask.

Shen Yuanxu has notified that all males over fifteen years old from the second house, regardless of whether they are legitimate or illegitimate, must go.

With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Liu began to pack her sons' bags.

Back in the room, Shen Yuanxu whispered to Hu Jinyu.

"I really didn't expect Lan Xi to give in so easily!" Shen Yuanxu felt that he had been suppressed for too long, and he couldn't believe that his wish came true out of the blue.

While rummaging through boxes and cabinets, Hu Jinyu warned, "Swords have no eyes on the battlefield, so be careful."

There are some things he cannot tell Hu Jinyu yet. Although it is hard to be patient, but secrets lead to success while disclosure leads to failure. For the sake of safety, he better endure it!

"Don't clean up, there's still half a month left, let's sit down and talk!"

Seeing Shen Yuanjing's ambiguous gesture, Hu Jinyu gave him a shy look and moved over.

Shen Yuanxu: "Let's have another son!"

……

Shen Lanxi set aside a day specifically to take Wei Dongzhu out on the street in disguise.

"I am going out this time, firstly, incognito, and secondly, to see you off!"

When the day of departure really came, they had no chance to talk alone.

Wei Dongzhu understood that while he was touched, he was also a little absent-mindedly worried.

This place is very close to the general's mansion where he lives.

"Lan Xi, let's go to Wangjiang Tower and sit for a while!" He lives in the south and Wangjiang Tower is in the north.

They sat in a private room and were not disturbed by anyone.

"Okay, let's go upstairs in Wangjiang Tower. We just happened to pass by Madam Song's shop, so let's go take a look!"

Wei Dongzhu raised the corner of his mouth happily and walked in front to lead the way.

Who would have thought that Madam Song, who was willing to do anything to get away with it, such as throwing tantrums and stripping people's clothes on the way to exile, would now be a powerful general under Liu Yanhui.

"Hey, why are there so many people gathered at the door?" Could it be that rare things are being transported from Dongchuan or the Northwest?
