Shen Leng stood there without saying a word for a long time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Maybe he stood for a long time, and if Su Leng could still know, he would think that his death was a success.

The emperor stood silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

Maybe if he stood for a long time, Bai Xiaoluo could still know, and he would think that his death was a success.

Then Shen Leng left the street outside Chengtianmen, did not go back to Weiyang Palace, but went home directly, the emperor left Yanfu Palace without saying a word to the queen and returned to Dongnuan Pavilion.

The two monarchs and ministers, one was in a daze at home, and the other was sitting in a daze in the East Warm Pavilion.

When it was almost dark, the emperor came out of the Dongnuan Pavilion, stood outside the door of the Baoji Hall and looked at the world that had gradually been shrouded in night for a while, and then looked back at the chief attendant who came out on behalf of the boat: "Prepare the car." ”

"Your Majesty, it's almost dark."

Dai Fangzhou bowed his head: "It's a little unsafe to leave the palace at this time." ”

"Don't talk so much."

The Emperor's gaze returned to the sky: "Find me a piece of clothing." ”

The palace gate of Weiyang Palace will be closed before dark, and the carriage will leave before the palace gate is closed, the sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the bluestone slab is somewhat crisp, and the emperor sits in the carriage and listens to this rhythmic sound with his eyes closed.

"Your Majesty, where are we going?"

"Night Market."

Chang'an City, East City, West City, respectively, there is a very large market, according to the direction, it is called the East City West Market, the East Market sells mostly the products of Daning's own country, and the West Market has a lot of merchants from the Western Regions, but whether it is the East City or the West Market, it is really lively after dark.

Most people are always busy during the day, and the traffic in the east and west markets after dark is often much higher than during the day.

The emperor said that he would go to the night market, but he did not say whether he would go to the east market or the west market, but Dai Fangzhou seemed to understand His Majesty's thoughts very well, so he directly ordered the coachman to go to the east market, after all, it was closer to General Shen's house.

The cold General's Mansion.

Shen Leng sat on the steps and looked at the bright moon in the sky, stunned, and there were three wine jugs beside him that had been emptied.

He had to think about Su Leng's words.

Although he knew that Su Leng's words were deliberately stirring up a relationship between him and the emperor, if he really believed in Su Leng, there would be a gap between the monarch and the ministers, and once this gap appeared, it would be difficult to repair.

If Shen Leng didn't have two children, he might not think about this, and now that the two children were out of the full moon, how could he ignore what Su Leng said?

"Maybe one day in twenty years, and it is as beautiful as today, your son will also stand on the street outside this Chengtianmen Gate and shout to the opposite city gatehouse, that dog emperor, do you dare to come out to see me?"

These words were like thunder blasting back and forth in Shen Leng's mind.

Shen Leng is not really stupid, although he doesn't know what his identity is, but judging from the attitude of Mr. Shen and Tea Ye, he is definitely not just an abandoned baby picked up by Boss Meng, the queen wants him to die, and the prince should also want him to die, and no matter what his identity is, there seems to be no doubt that these two people want him to die.

Then, after the future crown prince ascends the throne, it is very likely that there will really be the situation that Su Leng said.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier.

Will the ending of the great general Su way be his cold ending?

At this moment, there was the sound of cars and horses outside the door, and the black mastiff raised his head violently, and his ears were propped up, and there was a sense of vigilance in his eyes.

The General's Mansion is naturally much larger than the small courtyard of Shen Leng and the tea master, Shen Leng lives in the backyard, the sound of cars and horses is outside the main gate of the front yard, he didn't hear it, he is thinking about it, where do he have the heart to listen to this, but the black mastiff heard it, ran to the front yard, and soon came back wagging his tail, and Chen Ran came back with it.

Chen Ran lived in the front yard, wearing a long shirt and walked over quickly: "Leng Zi, Your Majesty is here!" ”

Shen Leng was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly got up to greet him, but when he ran to the front yard, His Majesty had already come in, and Dai Fangzhou was carrying a lantern in front of him to light the road, and His Majesty was walking behind with something in his hand.

"Your Majesty."

Shen Leng and Chen Ran hurriedly bowed.

"Get up."

The emperor handed the things in his hand to Shen Leng: "I touched a sea bass in the night market, it looks fat, you go and clean it up, and borrow your backyard to roast it in a while...... I also bought some cooked food, you also went to cut it out, do you have wine at home? ”

"Yes."

Shen Leng hurriedly replied.

"How much did you drink?"

The emperor had already smelled the smell of wine on Shen Leng's body, so he frowned slightly.

"Lost in a loss."

Shen Leng replied.

"Hehe......"

The emperor walked into the backyard and saw the three wine jugs on the steps of the door: "It's three distractions." ”

Shen Leng suddenly became embarrassed.

After a while, Chen Ran and the others cleaned up a place in the backyard, set up a fire, Shen Leng poured rapeseed oil into an iron plate and put it on the fire to heat, added a large number of green onions, garlic cloves, and peppercorns, and stir-fried the fragrance, and then carried the sliced fish and put it in, and the oil immediately boiled.

The emperor looked at the freshness: "I haven't seen you do this." ”

Shen Leng replied: "When I was in southern Xinjiang, I generally ate sea fish, although it was delicious, but the smell of the sea was particularly strong, the locals liked to steam, but the minister didn't like it, so I fried it and pressed it with the taste of green onions, ginger and garlic, put a little vinegar, you can't put old vinegar, the old vinegar is too heavy, you need to use rice vinegar, rice vinegar is slightly sweet, and then add these ingredients, sprinkle some coriander before the pot, the sea smell can be removed, only the fish is fresh." ”

The emperor nodded: "You are really more suitable for cooking." ”

Shen sneered, put the prepared fish on the stone table in front of the emperor, put the cut cooked food away, and then filled the emperor with a glass of wine.

"I came today because I knew what Su Leng said to you before he died."

The emperor raised his glass and did not drink it, but glanced at Shen Leng instead.

Shen Leng didn't expect the emperor to say it so directly, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

Before Shen Leng could speak, the emperor raised his wine glass and shook it: "Do you want me to touch one with you?" ”

Shen Leng hurriedly picked up the wine glass: "The minister doesn't dare." ”

The emperor stretched out his hand: "Then touch one." ”

Shen Leng was startled, and cautiously reached over the cup and touched it.

The emperor took a sip of wine: "Su Leng told you about the fate of the general Su Wei, do you feel related?" That's because you only know one thing but you don't know the other, have you ever thought about it, why didn't he come when I summoned Su to Beijing? ”

The emperor put down the wine glass: "My brother's favorite is jade and wine in the Western Regions, Su Way will buy a lot of people to send to Chang'an City every year, and then many people in the Western Regions know about it, thinking that it is Su Way that he likes, so a large number of cars of wine and jade are sent over, naturally not unconditionally, but to ask Su Way to relax the border ban in Western Xinjiang, Su Way failed to hold it, do you know how rampant the Western Regions people were during that time? They only need to buy off some people who are oblivious to their righteousness, and they can take away a large number of iron tools......"

Shen Leng was taken aback.

The small countries in the Western Regions next to Daning, there is no iron ore in the country, relatively speaking, an iron pot is worth more than a piece of jade in good condition on their side, and the weapons and equipment of those small countries are very backward, and the big countries in the Western Regions will naturally not relax their control over iron tools, and the opening opened by the Soviet way, although it will not let those small countries threaten Daning, but it is already a capital crime.

"I summoned him to Beijing because I wanted to give him dignity and let him resign and go home, but he didn't dare to come."

The Emperor poured himself a glass of wine, as he found Shen Leng in a daze.

"After talking about Kyushu and going to Western Xinjiang, hundreds of people were dismissed and punished from the top and bottom of the heavy armor in Western Xinjiang, which is the biggest shame in the history of the Daning soldiers, but these things naturally can't be publicized, even later I didn't let people publicize their crimes, you know, once such a big scandal as the heavy armor in Western Xinjiang broke out, the government and the opposition would inevitably shake up and down, what should I do? More than 100 people have been punished...... That's going on a killing spree. ”

The emperor took a bite of the fish, and the strong aroma immediately stimulated his taste buds.

"Su Leng is a poor man."

The emperor glanced at Shen Leng: "But it's even more hateful." ”

The Emperor asked, "Do you know what I mean by this?" ”

Shen Leng lowered his head: "The minister understands." ”

"It's good to understand."

The emperor said lightly: "People are different, the story you heard from Su Leng does not mean that it is the truth of the matter, Daning's soldiers cannot have scandals, once there is, the whole country, the people will spread the word-of-mouth, and their trust in the soldiers will fall off a cliff." ”

The emperor was silent for a while: "Don't forget, I just arrived in Chang'an at that time, and I need stability. ”

Shen Leng snorted, thoughtful.

"I didn't need to come and tell you this, but I came, you understand."

The emperor pointed to his glass: "I have already poured myself two glasses of wine, and you still want me to continue pouring wine?" ”

Only then did Shen Leng react, and quickly stood up and filled the emperor with wine.

The emperor glared at him: "If you are related because of what Su Leng said, then you are sure that you and Su Wei are the same kind of people, if you are sure that Su Wei is not the same kind of person, why do you want to put other people's affairs on yourself?" ”

Shen Leng lowered his head: "The minister is wrong." ”

"It's inevitable to think about it, that's human nature."

The emperor looked at him again: "I have a question for you, if the bad guy looks like he is dead, isn't it the bad guy?" ”

Shen Leng shook his head: "How to die, they are all bad people." ”

The emperor drank all the wine in the cup: "I will stop here these words, you are not a fool, in fact, I will not be able to realize it yourself sooner or later...... In two days, you will go back to the water division, your team will come back in about half a month, you go directly back to the water division to go to the northern Xinjiang, the recent movements of the Heiwu people are a little strange, the Heiwu Khan Emperor Samburu actually sent someone to send me a handwritten letter. ”

The emperor said: "What Samburu means is that he doesn't want to fight with Daning anymore, he wants to reconcile the two countries, in order to show his sincerity, he plans to send an envoy to Chang'an City, and he will bring me a lot of gifts, calculating the days, your sailor is just going to the northern frontier, you bring people back to me, I want to see what the black warriors are trying to do." ”

Shen Leng nodded: "The minister obeys the order." ”

The emperor paused: "There is one more thing, after Ye Yunsan returned to the northern frontier, he rebuilt the line he had buried on the Heiwu side, and inquired about one thing, Samburu's own sister fled from the capital of the Heiwu country, it may be in the northern Xinjiang, you look for this woman after you arrive in the northern frontier, it is rumored that this woman is very remarkable, Samburu is quite jealous of her, if she can make good use of it, the Heiwu country will have no secrets." ”

Shen Leng's eyes lit up: "If you can find this woman, it will be of great benefit to the Northern Expedition." ”

The emperor smiled: "Tomorrow you go to Concubine Zhen's palace to say goodbye to Cha'er, after all, the child is still young, she will be a little sad when I let you out, explain it well, after all, you are not only her husband, you are also my general." ”

Shen Leng puffed up his chest: "The minister was ordered to find Niu'er, what can she say!" ”

Emperor: "......"

The emperor looked at the fish: "The fish is fat. ”

Shen Leng: "Yes." ”

Emperor: "You've been getting fatter lately. ”

Shen Leng: "......"
