After participating in the suburban festival, Shen Chong left Jingkou to return to Huiji, although the establishment of the Dongyang Army was smooth, the combat effectiveness of this army is also the focus of attention from the north and the south. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info As the commander of this army, Shen Chong is also under great pressure, if the first battle is unfavorable, not only the villagers will be disappointed, and Shen Chong himself will not forgive himself.

After seeing off his father, Shen Zhezi returned to Da Xian Mountain Manor for a short rest, and said goodbye to Princess Xingnan by the way. Later, he will also live in the barracks, and the whole army will go to Daye Pass, waiting for the dispatch.

Princess Xingnan has also been feeling anxious recently, seeing that the line is completed and the counterinsurgency is finally on the right track, and her mood is finally stable. But when he thought that Shen Zhezi was about to join the Rong Brigade, his heart couldn't help but become entangled again, and he didn't know what to say in and out.

Finally, she walked in front of Shen Zhezi and stared at her with wide eyes: "Don't you have anything to say to me?" ”

Shen Zhezi was still reading the book of soldiers while grinding his gun, and after hearing this, he put down the scroll, beckoned the princess to sit close to him, and said with a smile: "Yes, I still want to praise the princess." In the matter of King Langya earlier, if it weren't for the princess's knowledge and persuasion of the queen mother, the situation might still be variable. My lady is smart and wise, and she is already a person who can do things. ”

"You taught me this, and you're obviously still praising yourself!"

Princess Xingnan pouted a little displeased, her eyes turned red when she blinked, and tears glistened in her eyes: "How can you not understand, I'm not talking about this!" You, you're going to fight in the future, you must be careful......"

How could Shen Zhezi not see the entanglement in this girl's heart, and said with a smile after hearing this: "When the national disaster is at hand, no one can stay out of the matter." After all, the husband has to be honored on the battlefield in order to have peace of mind. Since I have been treated with such courtesy, of course, I must also set an example for everyone. Besides, I won't rush into battle alone, and there are many righteous people around me. Princess, don't worry, rest assured here, wait for me to pass on the victory. ”

When Princess Xingnan heard this, she was still unsure in her heart, and carefully took out a wooden box wrapped in brocade silk and opened it, which was full of various talismans. The little girl solemnly took out these talismans one by one, and told them about their usefulness one by one.

Shen Zhezi couldn't help but open his eyes when he heard that these talismans were used wonderfully, some could avoid arrows, some could dodge swords, and some could stop bleeding. There is more than one person in his family, and he knows that the business scope of the Heavenly Master Dao is very wide, but this kind of talisman that adds state on the battlefield is really the first time I have seen it, and I can't help but feel that those Taoist priests are really considerate and have a keen perception of the needs of the market!

"These talismans, you must keep them close to you, and you must also remember their respective effects, and don't forget to change them."

While speaking, the princess had already lowered her head and carefully stuffed a talisman into Shen Zhezi's rhino belt, and when she looked up and saw his nonchalant appearance, her expression was a little annoyed: "I know you don't believe this, even if you only ask for peace of mind, it is harmless to wear it on your body anyway." Forget it, I know you won't remember, and I'll tell someone else later. ”

Seeing that this little girl was still busy, Shen Zhezi sighed in his heart, raised his hand and grabbed the princess and said with a smile: "The lady gave me love and fists, and I am very pleased to be a husband." I just can't bear to see others pretend to be this fiery thought for their own sneaky selfishness, princess, if you really can't feel at ease, you might as well lead your family to help the needy. Tired of being kind to others, people are good to me, and it is always better to go in vain and ask for those ethereal things that are difficult for mortals to understand. ”

When Princess Xingnan heard this, tears had already fallen, and she wept and said: "I only hate that I am not a man, I can't go into battle with you to kill the enemy, I can only sit in the room and worry about it senselessly......"

"If you're really a man, I know who you are!"

Shen Zhezi laughed, took the girl into his arms, and persuaded her for a long time, until the lady's mood calmed down, and then asked tentatively: "Don't worry, I will put away these talismans." With so many categories, it should cost a lot, right? ”

"It's not much, the teachers all know that I am seeking shelter for my husband, and I only take half of the compensation, and the total is less than 50,000 yuan." The little girl whispered in Shen Zhezi's arms.

"Five, fifty thousand?"

When Shen Zhezi heard this girl's ordinary tone, he simply regarded money as dung, and he was very atmospheric. His family already had a flattering mother, and now this lady is really better. There is also a deeper understanding of the greed of those Taoist officials.

The princess knew that Shen Zhezi didn't pay much attention to the Heavenly Master's Dao, and when she noticed that his expression was a little unkind, she was a little weak-hearted, and lowered her head and whispered: "I won't do this again in the future, don't be angry, okay?" ”

The world is like this, and Shen Zhezi also knows that he can't blame his own girl alone. The times are turbulent, and the emptiness and depression in people's hearts always have to have some sustenance, such a huge market, even if there is no Heavenly Master Dao, there will be other religions rising to fill this gap, and it may be even more excessive. Even in the heyday, the administration of religion was a problem. Even if he was dissatisfied with the Heavenly Master Dao in his heart, now was not the time to delve into it.

"Personnel are difficult, and I really can't look up to the gods. At present, there are many families affected by the disaster in the left side of Jingkou, and 50,000 yuan is more than enough to treat more than 100 people. My family is well-known in the world, so I should take responsibility, not for the sake of inviting fame, I can't bear to see people miserable. The princess should not do those useless wastes in the future. ”

Shen Zhezi said that he was not stingy with money, but he just didn't want to be slaughtered as a fat sheep by those Heavenly Masters and Dao officials. And now he also has a lot of influence in the Heavenly Master Dao, and when the war is over, he will have to investigate who is taking advantage of this national disaster to make a lot of money! I want to pick out a few who are too unbearable, take them out and kill them to make an example, and suppress the more and more presumptuous style of the Heavenly Master!

In the afternoon, a visitor was invited, and it was Tao Hong, who came as an envoy from Jingzhou this time.

When Shen Zhezi came out, he saw that Tao Hong's description was slightly withered, and his face was full of grief, so he hurriedly invited people into the room.

Tao Hong is now a body of filial piety, his father Tao Zhan died on the battlefield earlier, and he has not yet been mourned. It is inevitably rude, and in addition to filial piety, he wears a coat to cover it up slightly. As soon as he sat down, he said to Shen Zhezi apologetically: "The grieving body should not be a guest, but I know that Wei Zhou should have many doubts in his heart, and he has the courage to meet him, and I hope not to blame him for the rudeness." ”

"Brother Shi, why do you have to say this, you and I are old friends, and I am also deeply saddened by the mourning of Shibo's loyal martyrs. It's just that now that I am in ministry, I can't go to mourn in person, which is really a pity. ”

Shen Zhezi comforted Tao Hong a few words, and his heart was indeed full of doubts. Tao Kan has a total of seventeen sons, in addition to those who died early, there are still more than a dozen people alive, and the grandchildren do not know how many mortals, so it is reasonable to send Tao Hong, whose father has just died for a long time, and who has not been removed from filial piety as a messenger. There should be some reasons that he didn't expect, so he had to interview Tao Hong before leaving.

Tao Hong smiled miserably after hearing this: "Since he has received the weight of the country's favor, he should repay him with death." The father of the family is loyal and righteous, and he is the son of man, he should feel this honor and have no regrets. It's just that you can't do your best to cultivate filial piety, and you can't let go of it after all. ”

Speaking of which, his expression was already extremely sad, which showed that he regretted not being able to fully fulfill his father's funeral.

When Shen Zhezi saw Tao Hong's state, he had doubts in his heart, and he couldn't ask him bluntly for a while, so he only gently persuaded him at the banquet: "The national disaster is so bad, and loyalty and filial piety are difficult to complete." Brother Shi, you are running for the community, how can it not be the great righteousness of the words and deeds of the world, everyone feels this righteousness, and there is no way to say wrong. ”

After a long time, Tao Hong's mood calmed down slightly, and after wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, he said to Shen Zhezi solemnly: "The eldest father is also shocked by the rebellion of Liyang, and he can't help but cry when he thinks of the fall of Gyeonggi and the fact that His Majesty the Emperor is trapped in the thief brigade. ”

Shen Zhezi just nodded, selectively ignoring this face-to-face conversation. He was still unsure about other things, at least in the matter of Su Jun's rebellion, Tao Kan would never be able to realize it later. It must be known that even his father knew Su Jun's exact date of dispatch in advance, and if Tao Kan was so slow, he would be blind to the name of the general. In particular, Jingzhou is divided into Shaanxi, and it can be inserted into the heart of Liyang along the river. If he couldn't get tacit approval or hints from Tao Kan, Su Jun should not dare to send troops to Gyeonggi.

But now there is no point in thinking about these anymore, Su Junxing has come to this point, in addition to his own strength, it should also have a great deal to do with the connivance of all parties. None of them are clean.

"I have the courage to ask for permission this time, but I still think of the old friendship with Wei Zhou, hoping to use Wei Zhou's mouth to defend myself a little for my father to clarify. Although Jingzhou is punished by Shaanxi, it is also a four-way rush, and it is really difficult to focus on one side......"

Hearing Tao Hong's words, Shen Zhezi gradually realized that the difference in their identities and statuses would also be different in cognition. Indeed, for Tao Kan, it is difficult to escape the blame for the punishment of Shaanxi while watching Gyeonggi fall to the rebels. However, if Tao Hong was sent to defend himself because of this, this reason is inevitably a bit far-fetched.

Therefore, Shen Zhezi was not in a hurry to speak, but just looked at Tao Hong and waited for him to continue to explain.

However, Tao Hong wanted to speak and stopped, as if there was something difficult to say, and he was silent for a long time before he said: "I came here this time, and I also want to ask Tovi Zhou for something. The father's hatred is not the same as the sky, Liyang is a traitor, in public and private, you can't sit back and watch this thief run rampant! If Wei Zhou didn't abandon me because of my contempt, would he be willing to include me in the army to rebel? ”

When Shen Zhezi heard this, his eyebrows were raised, and he understood many things. If Tao Hong is difficult to say, it should probably be related to family ugliness. If it is really as he said, he wants to join the army to seek revenge, Jingzhou is now the largest military state town, Tao Hong is Tao Kan's grandson, and his maternal grandfather's family is also the family of the general, why do you need to ask for it?

If the Jingzhou army has no place for Tao Hong, then it is self-evident where the resistance comes from. No matter how complicated the Jingzhou forces are, it is impossible to interfere in Tao Kan's family affairs. So the dilemma that Tao Hong is facing should come from within his family!

Thinking of this, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but laugh dumbly in his heart. Tao Kan is in such a position, no matter what his attitude is, it will make people think a lot. In the past, I was also thinking about Tao Kan's attitude from all aspects, but I only ignored his family problems.

Too many children and grandchildren may not be a blessing. Especially for a family like Tao Kan, who was born in a cold background and has no qualifications, if he has an heir, he may be able to show his inheritance, but if he does not have an heir, he will soon be no different from a poor family. Tao Kan's eldest son died early, and now among these sons, the most famous is Tao Zhan, but with Tao Zhan's death, there are other possibilities for inheritance.

In history, not long after Tao Kan's death, several sons competed for property and even drew knives against each other, such as Tao Xia, who was the envoy this time, did not hesitate to slash his brothers, which can be described as ruthless. In such a situation, Tao Hong, as Tao Zhan's son, faces a predicament that can be imagined.
