My country, you can pinch it

"Ling'er, are you sweating?"

"Out."

"Then let's stop." Xilinghou retracted his fists, looked back at Shang Jinling who was panting, and raised his hand to the side.

The guards handed over the sweat towels, and the grandparents and grandchildren wiped their sweat with them.

"How is it? Are you comfortable?" Xilinghou asked.

Shang Jinling smiled and nodded, "Is this the Shang family's boxing method? It seems quite simple."

"Where can it be? This is the most basic move. It is used for warming up. Yang Yang has been practicing since he was three years old."

It turns out that the foundation of the foundation is indeed suitable for the sick and weak.

Xilinghou said to Changkong who was standing beside him, "Come here, put your young master on, don't catch a cold."

Changkong immediately shook off the cloak and put it on for Shang Jinling.

Then Xilinghou said: "Ling'er, the old man asked Dr. Hu that the weather is not bad this season. He said that your body can actually move. Originally, I planned to find a chance to talk to Rong Rong. Since you are here today, Come back tomorrow then."

Shang Jinling was taken aback: "Huh?"

"Ah, what, at your age, you should be able to run and jump, and this place in Shacheng doesn't take advantage of your illness. If you don't get stronger, when will you be well?" Xilinghou looked at him and said earnestly, "The one you just beat Do boxing, don't be tired, the focus is on relaxing your muscles and bones, what do you think?"

The so-called life lies in exercise, this statement is so reasonable, it is to get up early every day... Shang Jinling is a bit difficult, today is entirely for a reason.

"Don't you have to trouble grandpa every day? If you are not here..."

"Yangyang." Suddenly the Marquis of Xiling called out, and then saw a little girl with braids jumping in clumsily, "Grandpa, little uncle." Her forehead was sweating, and her face was red. Like an apple, she stretched out two fingers with a thin body, "Mother said twice."

Seeing that Shang Jinling was puzzled, the Marquis of Xiling said: "Chuqing came back yesterday, and this morning he should be testing his kung fu skills. In the end, he usually circles the Marquis of Xiling's mansion twice."

Xilinghou's mansion is not small, and Shang Jinling could walk for a long time by himself. Hearing this, he looked at this little guy in amazement, "This is too amazing!" He was only six years old!

Shang Yangyang proudly puffed out her small chest, compared to Shang Jinling who had to drive to the school, she was indeed much stronger.

"When marching and fighting, stamina is the most important thing, and running is the most basic. It seems that your mother is quite satisfied, and let you out so soon."

Shang Chuqing and his wife are usually stationed in Shamenguan, and Shang Yangyang is practicing martial arts with the Marquis of Xiling. If the couple come back, they will have to inspect their daughter's martial arts achievements on the second day. This requirement is much stricter than reading and writing.There is no way, this is the fate of the Shang family, if there is no accident, Yangyang will have to go to the battlefield in the future.

"Yangyang is not lazy, mother can tell, by the way, why is little uncle here?"

"I learned boxing from my grandfather." Shang Jinling said.

"Really."

"That's right, starting from tomorrow, Yangyang, my great-grandfather has given you a mission. The first thing you do when you get up early is to wake up your little uncle and let him come here." As soon as Xilinghou finished speaking, the nephew and uncle couldn't help but look at each other.

Shang Jinling was shocked: "No way, grandfather, I can come here by myself."

The Marquis of Xiling glanced at him, and said bluntly: "I don't know if I'm an old man? You are the last one to get up in the entire Marquis Mansion. Is it possible that I want the old man to call you in person?"

"I can actually learn from my mother."

"Rong Rong pampers you, if you lie on the bed like a baby, she will definitely not give up." Xilinghou didn't believe it.

You really know your daughter, Shang Jin Ling Moran.

"Okay, I'll do it!" Shang Yangyang suddenly understood his mission, and immediately became happy, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will not let my uncle be lazy!"

Thinking of the miserable days when Shang Jinling pressured her to read and write tests in the school, Yang Yang was so happy.

"Little uncle, don't stay in bed, Yangyang will definitely wake you up on time, let's work hard together, eh!" The big eyes were filled with a smirk, and he clenched his hands and let go of the girl, "That's the deal, I'm going to run around!"

"This little girl..." Shang Jinling looked at the jumping figure and couldn't help shaking her head and laughing.

The Marquis of Xiling looked at him, seeing that Shang Jinling wasn't unhappy, he couldn't help but feel relieved, "Come, let's have breakfast with grandfather, and let me tell you about you by the way."

Shang Jinling was taken aback, and looked up at him.

Xilinghou patted him on the head, "I woke up early today to find the old man, didn't he really come to learn boxing?"

Shang Jinling smiled, "Grandfather is wise."

The grandfather and grandson had a simple breakfast, and then went to the study, where Shang Jinling handed Liu Ke's letter over.

It was a thick stack, and it would take a lot of time for the Marquis of Xiling to read it through. He just flipped through it roughly, and was already amazed, "Ling'er, His Royal Highness King Ning trusts you so much?"

Unlike Shang Qingrong, he doesn't know Liu Ke's unknown thoughts. Seeing this, he will only be amazed that the dignified King Ning will tell a 15-year-old boy with no fame about the fiefdom in detail. If it weren't for this As a confidant, how to explain?

"Because I come from Xilinghou Mansion, grandfather, you read the end of the letter, how should I reply?"

Shang Jinling's words made Wang Xilinghou see the key at a glance, "Yuhua Pass..." He narrowed his eyes immediately, "Didn't King Ning move the guard of Yuhua Pass?"

Shang Jinling nodded lightly, "There is no rush, he is waiting for your reply."

"The old man's answer?" Marquis Xiling asked back. He was thoughtful, and then looked straight at Shang Jinling with sharp eyes, "Ling'er, there are other meanings in what you said, so you might as well speak up."

Shang Jinling smiled, and said: "Then grandson, you are welcome, grandfather, have you thought of the way out for the Xilinghou Mansion?"

The Marquis of Xiling immediately understood the meaning of such a straight-forward approach, "You mean to retreat to Yuhua Pass."

Shang Jinling nodded, "Grandson's knowledge is limited, so after much deliberation, if the emperor insists on changing the guards of the Shamen Pass and taking back your military power, Yuhua Pass is the best choice."

The Marquis of Xiling looked at these three words, and a map of the northwest immediately appeared in his mind. Yuhua Pass is the closest pass to the Shamen Pass. If he marched in a hurry, it would take less than five days to reach it. , he can respond at any time, so as not to destroy the Shang family's army.

Thinking of this, the Marquis of Xiling couldn't help but nodded slowly, "Good place."

When Shang Jinling rolled his eyes and raised the corners of his lips, he knew that the Marquis of Xiling would be moved.

But here is the problem.

"The distance is too close, the emperor may not agree." The Shang Family Army was established by the Marquis of Xiling, and both the generals and the soldiers have deep feelings for the Marquis of Xiling, which is a taboo for kings.

Shang Jinling said: "But grandfather, as long as there are Xiongnu, the emperor will not bet on two checkpoints."

As soon as these words came out, the Marquis of Xiling's eyes immediately froze.

Although Emperor Shun was not a wise lord, he was not a faint and incompetent king of subjugation. The guard of Yuhuaguan allowed the barbarians to transport food out of the pass. To put it seriously, he was a collaborator and traitor. Go down to replace.

There has been no war in Yuhuaguan for many years, only [-] soldiers and horses, if they are changed, they will be replaced, it doesn't matter, but if the emperor wants to move the general of Shamenguan at the same time to seize the military power of Xilinghou, then there will be a big problem.

If the Xiongnu can be repulsed, how many troops and generals can be stationed in the Northwest? If the Xiongnu and the Western Regions join forces, the two checkpoints will be unstable, and the morale of the army will fluctuate, and they will fall together...

"What's more, the hinterland is implementing a new policy, promulgating one after another without any hesitation. If the people complain, then this Shun Dynasty will be..."

Shang Jinling paused and did not continue, but the Marquis of Xiling could hear it, so he changed his tone, "But if the Shang family is transferred to Yuhua Pass, it will be different. No matter how prestigious you are, you are not Furthermore, the general at the Shamenguan has no right to mobilize any soldiers at the Shamenguan. Unless..."

He paused again and gave a "you understand" look.

"Grandfather, if the emperor doesn't want to be such a king, he will either not move the Xilinghou Mansion, or he can only place you in Yuhua Pass, limit your authority, and be ready to reuse at any time." Shang Jinling said firmly.

Marquis Xiling: "..." His face was slightly distorted, his body was full of discomfort, and he looked at Shang Jinling with surprise.

Shang Jinling was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

The Marquis of Xiling sighed, "Ling'er, you must be careful when speaking from now on."

Three sentences, the end point of each circle is either subjugation or rebellion, Shang Jinling didn't say anything, but there was no awe in his eyes, Xilinghou was surprised at his boldness.

When Shang Jinling heard it, he immediately laughed, blinked and said, "I'm just talking about it here, isn't it right?"

"Yes, it makes sense. But in this way, our Xilinghou's mansion will be completely tied to the same boat as King Ning." Xilinghou looked at Shang Jinling with a penetrating gaze.

No matter when, the Xiling Hou Mansion is only loyal to the monarch, and has never been inclined to anyone.

"Isn't it good?" Shang Jinling asked back, "Big sister said, you sent them to the capital a few years ago, not only to bring me and mother back, but also to find a way out for the Shang family."

Xilinghou nodded, "But this way out is hard to find."

Now the imperial court is full of smog, the two powerful princes are fighting for the benefit of the New Deal, the emperor is suspicious and narrow-minded, the Marquis of Xiling really doesn't know what else to do while maintaining neutrality?

"Now it is the emperor who wants to move the Xilinghou's mansion."

The eyes of the Marquis of Xiling darkened. The saddest thing about a loyal minister is that he cannot be trusted by the emperor, and the reason is, "I am old."

With a sigh of emotion, the heart is full of sadness.

At this time, Shang Jinling said, "That's right, you are already old, and it is not a pity that you have retreated to the second line to take care of your life. It is the grace of the emperor."

The Marquis of Xiling's gaze flickered, and an invisible deterrent shrouded the rude young man in front of him.

However, Shang Jinling remained unafraid, and his words became sharp, "It's a pity that people in the world are ignorant and have prejudices against gender. I have been traveling all the way, and what I hear most is that you have no children or grandchildren under your knees, and no one inherits the mantle. It's a pity that there are seven granddaughters who are not inferior to any man. They should be proud and continue the glory of the Xilinghou Mansion, but they are ignored by life. Your way out should not be given to yourself, but to them. Favoritism, just an opportunity for fair treatment."

The Marquis of Xiling looked at the young man in front of him in shock. He was obviously very fragile and needed careful protection, but he was able to say such words loudly, which really moved him.

"Ling'er, your sisters really didn't love you for nothing."

Shang Jinling smiled, "I will keep it in my heart. More than anyone else, I don't want them to be buried and return to mediocrity."

"Do you think King Ning will give them this chance?" Xilinghou asked.

Shang Jinling said firmly, "Yes."

"why?"

Shang Jinling didn't answer this question right away. What he thought of was the day when the exiles, Liu Ke decisively abandoned Luo Yun, handed over the command to Shang Chuqing, and gave him the greatest power, and that sentence...

He said: "If the Shang family loses military power because they have no children, the Xiongnu will laugh, and the people of Dashun will cry. This is what he said, whether it is true or not, because the sisters have the most right to speak."

Just like Shang Chuqing, the Marquis of Xiling was slightly taken aback when he heard these words, and his expression softened, "Ling'er, it seems that you are here to be his lobbyist."

"Yes, I am optimistic about him. Anything I want to do next, including the New Deal, can only be carried out based on King Ning, so I hope you can also help him."

Xilinghou thought: "However, the emperor doesn't want to see him. Compared with the two older princes, he has nothing, and he was relegated to Yongliang, where birds don't shit and chickens don't lay eggs. What are they fighting for? What chance can we give to the Xilinghou Mansion?"

Shang Jinling didn't have any hesitation when he heard the words, "But grandfather, it is because he has nothing that it is possible for the emperor to put the Xilinghou Mansion in Yuhua Pass with peace of mind; it is because he has nothing that he can fade out of the capital. Out of the line of sight, get a stable and stable environment to grow; it is because there is nothing, the results of working together are more cherished and precious, people are willing to give opportunities, isn't it? "

Three have nothing, but have everything.

Since ancient times, the earlier you surrender, the better, and the greatest merits of Conglong will be.

In today's era, there is no fairness at all. In the eyes of everyone, the Xilinghou Mansion is doomed to decline. If you want a chance, you can only fight and choose.

The young man's words fell into Xilinghou's heart word by word, leaving traces one after another. Xilinghou picked up the tea and drank it with his head raised. He needed time to think carefully.

"The old man has to discuss it with your sisters."

"Of course, this is their way." Shang Jinling replied, "The grandson will leave first."

The Chief Marquis of Xiling let out a sigh of relief and waved his hand.

He asked his daughter to bring Shang Jinling back to the Hou's Mansion to give him shelter, but he didn't expect to let the child push him all the way to this fork in the road.

The Marquis of Xiling knew very well that the current imperial court would not give him a second way. If he asked Shang Chuqing for canonization, then what awaited him was a faster transfer and the loss of military power.

He doesn't know any idioms, but the rooster is in the morning, but it is deeply imprinted in his heart.

"I'm getting old." He said to the empty study room, and let out a heavy breath.

Perhaps King Ning is indeed the only choice for the Xilinghou Mansion.
