Seiwa

Sanbao and his party stayed in Kaipingwei for two days, and set off for Peiping before King Yan entered Beijing.

Unlike when he came, although Song Zhong didn't come forward in person, his subordinates directed Yu Zhen and others to change their previous arrogance and send Sanbao and his party out of the city gate in person.Meeting Shen Xuan at the gate of the city, he smiled for the first time.

The reason is related to the upcoming entry of King Yan to Beijing.

When the giant Buddha left Beiping, Emperor Jianwen of Nanjing was restless and did not eat well, but Song Zhong of Kaipingwei and others breathed a sigh of relief.

King Yan was not in Beiping, it was as if he had lifted a mountain that was pressing on everyone's heads, his waist was no longer bent, his back was straightened, and his voice raised a lot.As for Emperor Jianwen, who was overwhelmed by Mount Tai, and his colleagues in the court... Song Zhong and others subconsciously turned their heads and remained silent.

Everyone is also trying to fulfill the orders given by the emperor. The emperor has always been kind and magnanimous, so it must be understandable... right?

In front of the city gate, Sanbao had a smiling face towards Shen Xuan and Yu Zhen, but when he spoke, he could still see the closeness.

Shen Qianhu is one of his own, so he needs to do everything in his face.

As for Song Zhong, Yu Zhen and others, please be polite now, when King Yan returns from Nanjing, their good days will be over.

San Bao said goodbye to Yu Zhen and the others with a smile. When facing Shen Xuan, he brushed his cuff lightly.

"Shen Qianhu also rests at ease to heal his wounds, and our family will answer when the prince is there."

While speaking, he deliberately glanced at Yu Zhen, his expression remained unchanged, but his gaze was really piercing.Commander Yu gave a dry laugh, and without an explanation, San Bao had already jumped on his horse, his movements were clean and neat, with a sassy and handsome look.

Eunuchs can also be men.

Meng Qinghe was already on duty at the top of the city, and when he saw San Bao getting on his horse, he was unsurprisingly blinked.

As expected of the future great navigator, Zheng He, whose name will go down in history, although this navigator got seasick.

In March in the frontier fortress, there is still heavy snowfall, and there is no trace of spring.

Watching the Yanwang Mansion and his party leave, Yu Zhen put away the smile on his face, snorted coldly, and said, "Shen Qianhu is really capable."

"Humble post, thank you for the command and praise."

Yu Zhen: "..." Did he praise him?

"Is there any order from the commander? I need to patrol outside the city today, so I dare not delay."

"Okay." Yu Zhen sneered again, "Shen Qianhu is loyal to his duty and remembers to be loyal to the imperial court, very good!"

"Thank you, Commander!"

There was something in Yu Zhen's words, but Shen Xuan's face was cold, as if he couldn't hear it.

After a beating with the army sticks, there were also black hands secretly, not to mention tearing his face.

Each is the master, depending on each other's ability.Peaceful coexistence is simply a fantasy.

Yu Zhen was blocked by Shen Xuan for a few words, unable to make use of the topic, snorted coldly, turned around and left.Zhao Qianshi hurriedly followed, and when he turned around, he winked at Shen Xuan, the meaning was very clear, well done!

Shen Qianhu was silent, in fact he could do better.It's a pity that the officials are a few levels behind, otherwise, Yu Zhen would never be so proud.

King Yan's oral order has arrived, and Song Zhong must leave Kaipingwei to go to Peiping. Chen Heng, the governor who was ill before, has "cured" and will be ordered to go to the frontier soon.Although he still has no military power in his hands, Yu Zhen and others are destined to not be able to make much waves because of the rank.

Shen Xuan knew about these things, and Kaipingwei's command and envoys also knew about them.Including Song Zhong and Yu Zhen also knew it well.Otherwise, Yu Zhen would not condescend and come to the city gate to see him off in person.His tone to Shen Xuan would not be so "polite".

Furthermore, it was for Emperor Jianwen's sake that King Yan went to Beijing to meet the new emperor, no matter what the purpose was.If you dare to make some troubles at this time and give King Yan an excuse to attack the court, the first one who wants to punish Song Zhong will not be King Yan, but Emperor Jianwen himself.

Therefore, when gods fight, even those at the level of Song Dudu are cannon fodder.

Yu Zhen and Zhao Qian returned to command the envoys, and Shen Xuan led a thousand cavalry under his command to ride out of the city.

Although being held back by Commander Xu, Zhao Qianshi and others, Song Zhong still transferred [-] horses after dispatching a thousand cavalry from Shen Guerrilla's men.

Shen Xuan didn't make a sound, and it was useless to make a sound.

If King Yan hadn't forced Song Zhong to leave the frontier fortress, he might not be able to keep his right to lead the army.Song Zhong has no right to cut Shen Xuan's official position, but he has a way to lift him up.

Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat dried shrimps, nothing more.

After Shen Xuan left the city, he suddenly turned around on his horse and looked at the top of the city.

A gust of north wind blew by, and Shen Qianhu, whose reputation spread throughout northern Xinjiang, was waving his whip and galloping his horse in the crystal white snow. His black eyes were actually colder than ice and snow.

On the city wall, Meng Qinghe, who was also dressed in a blue military uniform, patted his chest, and couldn't help but think of Shen Xuan under the night light.

A god of killing on the battlefield, or a gentleman like pure bamboo?

One person has two completely different looks.

Shen Xuan aroused his desire to explore.

He pursed his lips, it was dangerous, quite dangerous.

Meng Qinghe stood in the north wind, not moving for a long time, only hoping that his feverish brain would wake up as soon as possible.

"Baihu?" Seeing that his expression was not right, Gao Fu asked, "But the injury hasn't healed yet?"

"It's okay." Meng Qinghe shook his head, "I'm just thinking about something."

"Is it about the Miscellaneous Bureau?" Gao Fu looked around and lowered his voice, "Go again under the bid?"

"No need." Meng Qinghe pressed one hand on the cold city bricks, "I have informed Qianhu of this matter, and Qianhu has his own arrangements."

"Yes."

Gao Fu stopped talking, and Meng Qinghe was distracted by his words for a while.

The imperial court attached great importance to the manufacture of firearms, and set up two bureaus for military battles and military weapons to separately manufacture firearms.The Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau of Zhusi Weisuo in Beijing Province can also manufacture, but the variety and quantity are strictly limited.Violators shall be punished.

The repeated refusals were not due to the embarrassment of Meng Qinghe by the ambassador of the Miscellaneous Bureau, but indeed he was unable to help.

Shen Qianhu has a way. Because of Song Zhong and others, Commander Xu Zhong escaped with an excuse, let alone being caught with the excuse of "making firearms privately". The king's hand is the best.

"In troubled times, we need to be more cautious."

Shen Qianhu was stating the facts, but also reminding him.Meng Qinghe began to reflect on himself, many things were because he did not think carefully enough.The ancients said that it is really meaningful to examine myself three times.

It is also beneficial to send out drawings if the actual object cannot be given.With a wave of Shen Qianhu's hand, the word "trial" on top of Meng Baihu's head was finally removed.From today onwards, he is an upright six-rank hundred household, half a foot into the threshold of Daming's officialdom, whether he can really walk in depends on his future efforts.

As for the gentleman killing the god, the beauties under the lamp or something... don't worry for now.

It's useless to be anxious, if one is not good, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my life.

Thinking of Shen Qianhu riding a horse and wielding a knife on the battlefield, killing people like chopping melons and vegetables, Meng Qinghe couldn't help touching his neck.

He was actually just a little curious.

Yes, just curious.There should be no other thoughts, absolutely not!

I kept persuading myself that the back figure in front of me in the wind and snow, and the jade-like face under the dim light still lingered in my mind.

Meng Qinghe was decadent.

Is it really hopeless?

Crouching down, putting his hands on the city wall, thunder and lightning flashed above his head, and Meng Baihu burst into tears.

Gao Zongqi: "Baihu, what's wrong with you?"

Meng Qing wiped away tears, "Ben Baihu is lamenting his tenacious willpower and spirit of not fearing death, which is so epic."

Gao Zongqi: "..." The scholar's words are really quite profound.

Shen Qianhu, who was patrolling outside the city, suddenly felt a chill behind his back, Tartar?Wolves?

Riding the horse and turning around, the sky and the earth are white, not even a shadow.

Shen Xuan frowned, what was going on with this feeling of being watched by a beast?

In March of the first year of Jianwen, King Yan set off for Nanjing in Beiping Mansion with full guard of honor.

In the team, a four-pillar prince elephant is particularly eye-catching.The sill seat is one meter high, and the sill stand is nearly two meters high. The body is painted with red paint, and there are red paint strips and ring plates around the sill seat.There are doors in the front and on the left and right of the car, and red flower carpets and red brocade mats are spread inside the car.The chairs, cushions, curtains, and red curtains are all similar to the golden scorpion that the crown prince rides.

King Yan was used to riding a horse, and he rarely used an elephant when traveling. This gorgeous cart was used as a display in King Yan's mansion most of the time.Zhu Di decided to take him to Nanjing, and even Princess Yan felt a little different.

The guard of honor came out of the ceremony, and Zhu Di, who was dressed in a red panlong uniform, was sitting in the car, flipping through a few blueprints in his hand.

The blueprint of the tiger crouching cannon has been handed over to Dao Yan, and the underground arsenal of the palace is being activated. Whether this blueprint can be used can only be determined after the craftsmen have studied it.

What King Yan held in his hand was not a blueprint for firearms, but a few pictures of the formation of troops.The three-stage shooting method of the firecracker demonstrated by the king of Gaoyang County in the palace is listed among them.In addition, there are chariot formations, soldier formations, and the coordination of cavalry and infantry.The more he looked, the more serious Yan Wang's expression became.

His keen military intuition told him that these would definitely be of great use in the army!

"Three guarantees."

"The servant is here."

"Come in and talk."

"Yes."

The side door of the pavilion was pushed open, and Sanbao came in with a bow, "This servant has seen the prince."

"Xuan'er handed these over, what else did you say?"

"Back to the lord," Sanbao said cautiously, "Shen Qianhu told the servants that these drawings were all made by Meng Baihu. Only after Qianhu corrected the deficiencies did he dare to present it to the lord for review."

"En." King Yan leaned on the soft support, "It's interesting."

King Yan doesn't know much about tiger squatting and cannons, but he is an expert in arranging troops.

Most of Shen Xuan's fighting skills were taught by him, which made Shen Xuan look up to him, which shows that this Meng Qinghe is not a mediocre person.

However, King Yan lowered his eyes and put down a few pieces of paper in his hand.

"Look, how is this Meng Qinghe?"

"Returning to the prince, in the eyes of slaves and maidservants, Meng Qing is talented, but a little reckless."

"Oh?" King Yan was interested, but talented but reckless? "How to say?"

"Go back to your lord, that's what happened..."

When General Sanbao and Meng Qinghe met for the first time, the conversation between them was verbatim.Not only was he confused at the time, but King Yan didn't speak for a while after hearing this.

It wasn't recklessness, it was like being hit on the head with a stick.

"According to this servant, although this person behaves a little irregularly, he should not be a person with deep scheming."

"kindness."

Talented, a little reckless in his actions, not a man with deep plans, only those who know King Yan can understand his criteria for employing people.

Meng Baihu owed Sanbao a big favor.

Without Shen Xuan's help, Meng Qinghe would not be able to owe this favor.

King Yan nodded, "When Gu comes back from the capital, you go to Kaipingwei again. Gu hasn't seen Xuan'er for a few days, Meng Qinghe, Gu wants to see him too."

"The slaves obey."

King Yan left, but there was no peace in Beiping City.

When Yan Wang came to Beijing this time, only Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Gaoyang County, accompanied him.Both the concubine and the eldest son stayed in Beiping, and Zhu Gaosui wanted to follow, but was finally held back by Princess Yan.

The eldest son Zhu Gaochi personally sent King Yan out of the city gate, and looked at Zhu Gaoxu who was riding a horse in high spirits, with a simple and honest smile on his chubby face.It was rare for Zhu Gaoxu not to run on his elder brother, and the two brothers performed a good show of brotherly respect in front of the city gate.

King Yan was very satisfied. Lao Tzu's son could still handle the critical moment clearly.

Beiping chief envoy Zhang Bing was surprised, but his heart sank.

Didn't it mean that the son of King Yan and the King of Gaoyang County were at odds?

From this point of view, it is extremely difficult to follow Zhou Wangshi's method and provoke the relationship between brothers and sons.

Emperor Jianwen of Nanjing City was not idle either, and issued an edict to send 24 people including Shangshu Baozhao of the Ministry of Punishment, Xia Yuanji, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Xu Simian to Shizhong to serve as interview envoys. , can act cheaply.Among them, Bao Zhao served as an interview envoy to Beiping, and set off almost at the same time as the team of King Yan to Beijing.
