It's an unforgettable Mid-Autumn Festival!

Drinking alone to the moon, getting a little drunk, and about to sleep with his head covered, he thought he could sleep until dawn, but he was dragged to the palace in the middle of the night...... On a sunny day, the emperor issued an order and led his troops to the northwest to serve as the governor of Yansui. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Shen Xi could only sigh: "This is to toss people to death!" ”

The order issued by Zhu Youzhi himself, Shen Xi could not be disobeyed at all, so he had to go to the northwest, the number of soldiers and horses was set, 6,000 foot soldiers, but the emperor did not seem to plan to give Shen Xi some detailed battle reports on the war in the northwest, as if to hide the situation on the front line to the end.

In this regard, Shen Xi could only lament that the emperor was irresponsible...... I give you the responsibility, but I don't tell you the truth, I don't know if I like to deceive myself, or I don't expect to turn the tide of the war at all, just find someone to hit the luck, if luck comes, maybe you can solve the trouble, but if you don't hit the right one, let Shen Xi and six thousand soldiers and horses contribute blood and life to Daming Sheji.

After Shen Xi agreed to come down to the northwest to serve as the governor of Yansui, Zhu Youji's mood finally improved, but it happened that he fell ill at this time, and coughed violently on his chest on the dragon chair.

The ministers showed concern on their faces, and finally Zhu Youzhi went back to the palace to rest under Liu Jian's suggestion, while Shen Xi received the royal flag and prepared to lead the troops on the road on August 17 a day later.

It's good that the emperor's subordinates are merciful, if Shen Xi sets off immediately after receiving the order, Shen Xi will feel that he is equivalent to being put on the execution ground, just waiting for the Ming canonical punishment. Of course, the current situation is not much worse, delaying the dispatch of troops for a day, but the final outcome may still be to run into the Tatar cavalry in the wilderness and wipe out the whole army.

A cadre of important ministers left the Qianqing Palace, and Shen Xi followed.

Xie Qian deliberately avoided Shen Xi, it was he who brought Shen Xi into the palace, and it was he who pushed all the previous things on Shen Xi in the face of the emperor's anger and the reproach of other ministers, so that in addition to breaking his face, he also let his grandson-in-law go to the northwest to die, Xie Qian was actually the most depressed of everyone at this time, even more uncomfortable than Shen Xi himself.

Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Zhang Mao did not take the initiative to talk to Shen Xi, there is still a day of preparation time, if the imperial court has any explanation for this battle, they will choose the opportunity to make it clear.

Zhang Heling deliberately walked back and came to Shen Xi's side: "Shen Zhongcheng, you are leading the troops to the expedition soon, and tomorrow Japan will hold a banquet in the mansion to practice, and by the way, talk about the dispatch of soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp, do you appreciate your face?" ”

Shen Xi set out on August 17, and the Marquis of Shouning held a banquet on the evening of August 16...... Openly wooing the Minister of Command, don't you want to rebel?

Shen Xi looked at Zhang Heling, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and wondered what Zhang Heling's plans were, and finally vaguely understood that Zhang Heling didn't seem to have broken his heart to win him over.

Shen Xi secretly thought: "At the beginning, Zhang Yanling used poison tricks to frame me, and the two sides have become a situation of fire and water...... Now Zhang Heling still doesn't forget to woo me, does he think that he is the uncle of the country, I don't dare to hate their brother, or does his brother do something that my brother doesn't know? ”

"Since the Marquis of Shouning has official affairs to explain, the lower officials will definitely visit tomorrow night!" Shen Xi arched.

Shen Xi didn't want to entangle with Zhang Heling too much, now he was ordered by the emperor to go to the three sides on an errand, the night before leaving, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling The two brothers must have scruples, Shen Xi guessed that Zhang Yanling mostly wanted to win him over, or recommend some people to his side, on the one hand, to monitor, on the other hand, to make trouble.

In the eyes of many people, Shen Xi's trip to the northwest this time is basically to die, but the hope of returning safely cannot be ruled out, although the chance is very slim.

If Shen Xi can triumph from the northwest, he will inevitably be a hero of the Ming Dynasty, and his future is limitless.

Zhang Heling is very meaningful at this time, he has no loss when Shen Xi dies, and Shen Xi will accept his love if he rises.

Coming out of the Qianqing Palace, Zhang Mao and Zhang Heling went out of the palace, the emperor has ordered martial law in the capital, and the two are now responsible for leading the five armies to the governor's mansion and the other to lead the Beijing camp, and need to arrange martial law matters, and Shen Xi followed the three ministers to Fengtianmen. Shen Xi didn't prepare to go to the cabinet by Zuoshunmen, but left the palace from the Wumen, Chengtianmen and Daming Gate, because he felt that even if he went to Wenyuan Pavilion, there was nothing to say in the face of the three pavilion elders.

When they arrived at Zuoshunmen, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian didn't say hello, and went directly. Shen Xi waited a little, and when he was sure that he had been forgotten by the three pavilion elders, he continued to go in the direction of leaving the palace with peace of mind.

There was no obstacle all the way, Shen Xi went out of the palace gate directly, and soon found a serious problem, he originally took Xie Qian's carriage to the palace gate, and there was no own carriage outside the Daming Gate at this time.

"What, you want to go?"

A voice came from behind Shen Xi, and Shen Xi turned his head to look, only to see Xie Qian's slightly old and clumsy figure, walking slowly.

Xie Qian was alone, and Liu Jian and Li Dongyang were not seen behind him, and it is estimated that the two ministers stayed in the palace to discuss matters.

Shen Xi said with a bitter face: "The younger generation will lead the troops to the battle the day after tomorrow, if you don't rest well, you won't have the spirit to go to the battlefield!" ”

Xie Qian sighed: "What's the hurry? The capital is far from the battlefield. ”

"In the eyes of the younger generation, leaving the capital, you don't even need to go out of Juyongguan, there are battlefields everywhere...... What can 6,000 soldiers and horses do? The future is bleak, and it is really unpredictable! By the way, dare to ask the elder Ge, how much ordnance has Your Majesty allocated to me, these 6,000 soldiers and horses? How many artillery pieces are there? Shen Xi asked cautiously.

Xie Qian didn't answer, but answered Shen Xi's question in disguise - there was no artillery.

Shen Xi was a bandit in the southeast, and there were self-cast Franc machine guns, plus looted and extorted from the Franc machine people, it can be said that there were plenty of soldiers and horses, grain and grass, weapons, and firearms, and even a conscienceless cannon made by Shen Xi to help. But now, even if Shen Xi is given a team of 6,000 soldiers and horses, he doesn't even have a single artillery, or he will be equipped with some firecrackers, but Shen Xi doesn't have much confidence in the Ming Dynasty's firecrackers, otherwise he wouldn't have been abused so badly by the Manchus in the Liaodong battlefield later!

"If I had known, I should have studied yellow powder and breech guns in advance, why didn't I have any preparations for the upcoming battlefield now?" Shen Xi was a little depressed at this moment.

Xie Qian said: "Come to my house first, and discuss something with you!" ”

Shen Xi directly refused: "Elder Ge, forgive me, the student is really difficult now, if there is something to talk about in the future, the student will go back to the house to rest!" ”

After speaking, Shen Xi no longer paid attention to Xie Qian, and went directly to the root of the imperial city and went to Zhaohui Jinggongfang in the north of the Forbidden City. What if you walk ten miles? It's better than being used by Xie Qian, and it is better to pretend to confess a few words.

Although Shen Xi also knew that Xie Qian was not to blame for this, Xie Qian had offended Emperor Hongzhi in order to protect him, and he also had the kindness of the well-behaved and lovely Xie Hengnu to him. But Shen Xi thought that his trip might cost his life, and his eleven years of hard work would be in vain, and he was really angry in his heart.

On the way back, Shen Xi thought: "Maybe you shouldn't be able to write anything about Jianwen to Xie Lao'er, nor should you write anything about the Northwest Leveling Policy, and you shouldn't get too close to Xie Qian, so there won't be so many bad things." ”

But thinking about the innocent and lovely Xie Hengnu of the Xie family, and then thinking about the opportunity to make contributions because of knowing Xie Qian, Shen Xi couldn't resent Xie Qian.

That's the thing, is it a blessing for Seon to lose his horse?

When I first met Xie Qian, I didn't expect to know Xie Pi, let alone meet Xie Hengnu, know each other to fall in love, and have so much relationship with Xie Qian.

Shen Xi walked many times on the way home from the palace, but this time he returned to the capital, but it was the first time he walked such a long way, or walking alone at night, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, a bright moon in the sky shone on the road ahead, and Shen Xi felt desolate.

One is not good, he can't return from this trip to the northwest, and he is buried with the 6,000 soldiers in Beijing who don't know their situation.

The soldiers of the Beijing camp have a lot of pockets, as early as the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, when Shen Xi led the troops to escort the artillery to the three sides, but luckily, even Song Shu and others have returned from their achievements, and now Song Shu has become Zhang Heling's right-hand man.

Shen Xi believed that he should be able to see Song Shu at the practice banquet in the Shouning Marquis Mansion in the coming day, but Song Shu would probably not accompany him to the northwest, because Zhang Heling would not be willing to push his confidant to the northwest to die.

"Sir, are you back?"

After walking for more than an hour, it was almost the fourth watch, when Shen Xi returned to the door, Yun Bo was waiting there with a lantern, probably the women in the family informed Yun Bo, Yun Bo didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly rushed over overnight.

"Hmm."

Shen Xi's expression was calm, "Clean up, I will lead the troops to the northwest the day after tomorrow, I don't know how long it will take to return this time, and the affairs at home will be left to you for the time being!" ”

Yun Bo asked in surprise: "Master, didn't you just come back from the south, why do you want to ......?"

Shen Xi waved his hand: "The affairs of the imperial court, are they still divided into time and region?" Where there is a need, the courtiers must go unconditionally, the news has not yet been announced, but it will be clear tomorrow morning...... There's something big happening in the northwest, you just have to prepare, I'm tired now, go back to my room to rest! ”

After being tired all night, Shen Xi was tired at this time, and he just wanted to lie back on the soft pillow of the high bed and sleep well, and take care of his mother's home and country!
