Chapter three hundred and seventieth victory and return to the dynasty
"It turns out to be Qin Qianhu, thank you for your hard work." Shen Ao also crossed his fists and saluted. Then he seemed to have thought of something, and said to Ao Jiu who was following him: "Brother Jiu, please stay here for a while. I will help Qin Qianhu choose hundreds of good horses, consider it a gift from someone."
"No." Aojiu agreed immediately.
"Ah!" Shen Ao was startled by the sudden gift, "Zhongguo Gong, you can say as much as you want, there are hundreds of good horses."
"Yes, these are all sent by barbarians, so they don't count. But I just don't know if a hundred horses are enough." Shen Ao laughed and said as if he was wealthy.
"Enough, enough, too many. In fact, fifty horses are enough. After all, the number of soldiers in our Yonghou Mansion is not very large." Qin Qi waved his hands repeatedly, obviously he was frightened by Shen Ao's generosity.
There is a shortage of horses in Daqian, which makes them even more precious. Many times they can't even buy them with money. Now it's no wonder that Qin Qi was so surprised when he heard that there were hundreds of good horses.
"It doesn't matter. If the Marquis Yong's Mansion doesn't need it, Qin Qianhu also has acquaintances, so it's okay to send them as gifts. Well, I have to go to the palace to see His Majesty, and we'll talk later." Shen Ao laughed and then said: Ignoring the excitement on Qin Qi's face, he led Xue Fei and the others into Daliang City.
Shen Ao and others left quickly, leaving only a silhouette behind everyone. Of course, there was more shock, just like the hundred households who refused to open the door before, they were completely frightened now. "Oh my god. , this shot is a hundred good horses, how big a victory has Duke Zhongguo won? Those horse teams are not the trophies of Duke Zhongguo, right?"
When Baihu said this, everyone suddenly realized that before they thought about the sight of thousands of horses galloping on the city tower, everyone's expressions changed suddenly. If this is true, Duke Zhongguo really returned with a great victory. ah.
However, after Shen Ao entered the city, he, Xue Fei and the three of them were speeding on the road.
Normally, Shen Ao would not be able to do this. Only someone like Marquis Zhongcheng, who had obtained the emperor's permission, could ride his horse in the city. But at this time, Shen Ao couldn't control that much. Now that he entered the city , it would be really rude not to see His Majesty immediately. Besides, with the great achievements he has made, it is just a galloping horse without hurting anyone, and it is harmless.
...
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
The sun was about to set, and Emperor Qianwen was still reviewing the memorials. Yan Fu on the side was arranging some eunuchs to hold lamps, and he looked very busy.
"Report...report..." A discordant, even slightly panicked voice sounded in the palace, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. Even Emperor Qianwen, who was looking down at the memorial, was startled by the sound and raised his head. Come.
Yan Fu also looked at the person who made the sound for the first time. When he saw that it was a young eunuch under his own command, he couldn't help but get angry. How could he be so unreasonable? This would scare the Holy Master. That was A crime worthy of death.
Serving the emperor seems to be a glorious experience, but it is not careless at all. If you make a mistake, you will fall from the high clouds and be shattered into pieces. Otherwise, why do some people say that accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger?
Yan Fu wanted to reprimand the little eunuch. It was better than asking the emperor himself. But before he could say anything, the little eunuch opened his mouth again and said: "Report, the loyal justice is coming to Yangxin Hall." , requesting an audience with His Majesty."
After the initial surprise and nervousness, the little eunuch was no longer so flustered and finally told the story. As soon as he said this, Yan Fu opened his mouth wide. It looked like he could stuff a mouthful into it. egg.
Emperor Qianwen's situation was slightly better than that of Yan Fu. His mouth was not opened so wide, but the memorial in his hand had already fallen onto the dragon case, showing his inner surprise.
I'm afraid none of them would have thought that at this time, the Zhongguo Guild would appear in the palace when they returned.
Fortunately, the two of them were also people who had seen the world, and they quickly reacted. Yan Fu was still the first to ask, "Wait, what did you say? Who is here?"
Obviously, Yan Fu still didn't believe it, and was afraid that the little eunuch below would make a mistake and make a big joke in front of the emperor.
"Eunuch Yan, Duke Zhongguo has entered the palace. This is how the people below reported. I think there is no mistake." The young eunuch who can go to the Yangxin Hall to report things is also a person of some status, and he also has some knowledge about some major events that happened in the court. From what he knew, he naturally knew what the appearance of Duke Zhong Guo represented. But even if the people below said so, he could only repay the truth.
"Are you really Duke Zhongguo?" Yan Fu still had a hint of doubt. Then he thought that seeing is believing, so he said to Emperor Qianwen who was also stunned at the side: "Your Majesty, please allow me to go and see whether it is true or false."
"Okay, go and come back quickly." Emperor Qianwen had regained his composure after a while. He also had a feeling that he was afraid that it was really the loyal Duke who came back this time, but he just didn't know whether he would return to the court in victory or defeat. Return?
Presumably, the latter is more likely. After all, if the battle was won, it would have been known to the whole city. How could it come back without any success?
After receiving the imperial order, Yan Fu quickly walked out of the palace. As soon as he left the palace gate, he bumped into Shen Ao who was coming.
Feeling the pain in his body, Yan Fu didn't even see the person coming clearly, so he couldn't help but scolded, "What kind of little monkey is this, so reckless."
In terms of Yan Fu's identity, all the eunuchs can be regarded as his disciples and disciples. This statement is not wrong. In the past, those eunuchs who were scolded by him were often proud of this. But this time, the person who was hit was obviously not. He was not happy, but certainly not too angry. He probably knew that Yan Fu said it casually and did not mean it specifically. "Haha, Eunuch Yan, I am Lord Zhongguo, not some monkey cub."
Such a clear voice came into his ears, how could Yan Fu not hear it? He raised his head and looked carefully, who else could the person in front of him be if it wasn't Shen Ao?
The charming oval face of the Three Courts, the crouching dragon's brows and the dragon's lips. A pair of attractive pink and phoenix peach blossom eyes, as if they can talk, are as alluring as the heartstrings. "Oh, it's Mr. Zhongguo. I'm really sorry. Just now Our family made a mistake, made a mistake."
"It doesn't matter, so-and-so came uninvited. By the way, is your Majesty here?" Shen Ao knew Yan Fu's identity and was a person whom Emperor Qianwen trusted very much, and their relationship was considered harmonious when they met before. Of course, apart from his own During that time in Tianlao, we usually got along well with each other, so naturally we wouldn't argue with him over such trivial matters.
"Your Majesty is here, he is here. In this case, please wait a moment, Duke Zhongguo, and we will report this." Yan Fu was sure that the person in front of him was Shen Ao, and then he smiled and turned towards the Yangxin Palace with joy. And enter.
Yan Fu didn't think as much as Emperor Qianwen did, and it didn't matter whether Shen Ao won or lost the battle, as long as he returned safely.
As long as Shen Ao is safe, Master Xue will be happy and will not come to trouble them. This is a lucky thing. As for Shen Ao not being able to defeat the Barbarian King, that is a matter of course. In the whole world, I dare to say that it is certain. How many people can defeat the Barbarian King?
I'm afraid even the current His Majesty wouldn't dare to pat his chest and make a guarantee. In the words of the common people, King Barbarian ate more salt than Shen Ao ate rice. Even so, there is no shame in defeat at his hands.
Yan Fu didn't know that he had already preconceived the idea that Shen Ao had lost the battle or even escaped. After all, according to the usual practice, any general who had won a battle would not have reported the victory early and then enjoyed it when he returned to the city. With the glory of all eyes.
Perhaps only people who have lost the battle and have no face to show off to others would carry out such a surprise attack.
After suppressing his thoughts, Yan Fu returned to the Yangxin Hall, knelt down in front of the hall and said, "Your Majesty, I am so happy. As expected, Duke Zhongguo is back. Now he is outside the hall, requesting an audience with Your Majesty."
"Okay, pass it quickly." Emperor Qianwen straightened his body, put away the excitement in his eyes, and tried to make his tone as calm as possible. It must be said that he had already regretted sending Shen Ao out.
Although Shen Ao has shown his ability in the past two years, both in terms of literary talent and ability to make money in business, he is first-class. But fighting is not a child's play after all, and it involves countless things. I didn't pay attention to one link. If it arrives, it may directly affect the direction of the war.
Coupled with the lack of troops, lack of experience, unfamiliarity with the terrain, etc., defeat is normal.
Fortunately, Shen Ao is young and will have a lot of time to learn in the future. If he loses this time, he can win back next time. Of course, Emperor Qianwen has given up on letting Shen Ao lead troops again. Compared to Shen Ao After leaving this period of time, with all the things that happened in Daqian Bank, this son's role should be more focused on developing the dynasty's economy rather than on the battlefield.
Emperor Qianwen even thought about comforting Shen Ao with a few words. Isn't this the best time to repair the relationship between their father and son? As for losing to the barbarians, what kind of things will they do? The soldiers will stop them, and the water will come. That's right. Their national strength is much stronger. Are they really afraid of a foreign country?
For a while, Emperor Qianwen had already thought about a lot of things. At this time, Shen Ao followed Yan Fu into the palace.
After walking dozens of steps forward, when he was still about twenty steps away from Emperor Qianwen, Shen Ao knelt on the ground and recited loudly, "My loyal Duke Shen Ao has returned from an expedition to the barbarian lands and is here to present himself to Your Majesty. Crossover.”
"Okay, just come back, just come back. How about it, war is not a child's play, it's not that easy." Emperor Qianwen saw Shen Ao kneeling on the ground with his beard and feathers intact, and he looked satisfied at the moment. As long as As long as a person is fine, he is satisfied if he is not lacking in items.
