[092] Good news from the north! The court is in an uproar!
The next day.
After a whole night of sleepless nights, Shen Xinlan finally accepted the fact that she and Han Shuang were not destined to be together.
After despair, she found Zhou.
"Mother……"
Shen Xinlan seemed to have lost all her strength, lowered her head and closed her eyes: "My daughter...accepted her fate."
"Why……"
Zhou instantly understood what Shen Xinlan was referring to, sighed and comforted: "Xinlan, mother knows that you feel wronged, but this is the last thing your father and brother left to us, mother and son. Now mother is the only thing The only one I can count on is you, do you understand?"
"My daughter understands."
Shen Xinlan smiled sadly.
"Besides, don't have anything to worry about."
Zhou continued to comfort her, "The person Mom has found for you is definitely good. If you like it, you can stay as a slave. If you don't like it, Mom will make this person disappear completely afterwards."
"Thank you, mother."
Shen Xinlan nodded numbly.
At this moment, Tang Yuan's anxious voice quickly approached.
"Madam, madam!"
"what happens?"
Zhou's heart tightened.
She had just given instructions that no one could come near.
Tang Yuan came despite orders, something big must have happened.
"Madam, Second Young Master, Second Young Master has returned to Beijing!"
Tang Yuan leaned over and said anxiously.
"Shen Yuchun returned to Beijing? Why are you in such a panic?"
Zhou was a little puzzled.
"The second young master returned to Beijing with good news!"
Tang Yuan's voice was full of surprise, "The Duke...is still here!"
Whoosh!
Zhou stood up suddenly: "What do you mean?!"
Even Shen Xinlan, who was heartbroken, woke up as if from a dream, his eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
"The Duke used a trick to ambush the barbarian army and won a complete victory. He will return to Beijing in triumph soon!"
Tang Yuan spoke more and more smoothly, and began to speak faster: "Second Young Master has reported victory all the way, and he has probably entered the palace to meet the saint at this moment!"
"impossible!"
Zhou's face was full of horror, "The old man's body has been seen by all the civil and military officials of the dynasty with their own eyes. There were so many people present even at the funeral. How could he be resurrected from the dead?!"
"This old slave doesn't know, but... I think it was the old man who did it deliberately in order to make the barbarians believe it."
"...cheating death?"
Zhou's face was extremely ugly, and it was difficult to spit out two words.
Although I don’t know what method the old man used to hide a fake corpse from everyone’s eyes, I have to admit that this does seem like something he can do.
In order to deal with the barbarians, what does it mean to deceive the emperor and the world?
Immediately, Mrs. Zhou thought of something more serious, and immediately ordered the old housekeeper to stop it immediately, and no one who knew about it would be left alive!"
"yes."
Tang Yuan leaned down and bowed down, a trace of relief flashed in his lowered eyes.
"etc."
Mrs. Zhou stopped Tang Yuan again and told her again: "Remember, your hands and feet must be clean, and no traces of any kind can be left. Do you understand?"
"My subordinate understands!"
Tang Yuan left.
Only then did Shen Xinlan recover from the shock and asked: "Mom, besides making arrangements for your daughter... have you made any other preparations?"
"You don't need to know this, after all, they are all for the same purpose."
Zhou sat down and leaned on the back of the chair, feeling a little weak, "It's okay, it's okay... If Shen Yu comes back from the Spring Festival Gala, everything will be too late..."
"Mother……"
Shen Xinlan instinctively felt that her mother must have made some very crazy plans in the past few days, otherwise she would never have been so panicked when she heard the news that her grandfather was still alive.
"The only problem now is the letter from your second aunt."
After a brief panic, Mrs. Zhou calmed down and her mind was spinning rapidly: "Fortunately, Su Ping's words and deeds are now under our control. Even if it is a bit far-fetched, he should be able to cope with it..."
………
Yongqing Palace.
At a time when there was no court meeting, a decree quickly summoned all the officials.
"Your Majesty will live forever, and your Majesty will live forever!"
"Get flat."
Emperor Yongtai had a rare smile on his face, "I suddenly summoned you to the palace because I have a big happy event to announce."
happy event?
All the ministers looked at each other, except for a few who heard the sound of victory, most of them looked curious.
Jia Hongyi took a step forward and shouted: "Xuan! Chisong Army Chief Qian, Shen Yuchun!"
"Xuan! Chief Chisong Army, Shen Yuchun!"
"Xuan..."
Orders were issued one after another.
Not long after, a high-spirited young man entered the hall carrying a wooden box, walking like a dragon and a tiger, and knelt down in front of the steps.
"Your Majesty, General Chisong Army, Shen Yuchun, pays homage to Your Majesty!"
"No gift."
Emperor Yongtai waved his hand, "Speak loudly to them what you want to say!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Shen Yuchun stood up holding the wooden box and spoke loudly.
"Great victory in the north!"
"The new commander of the Chisong Army, Lou Guan, led the Chisong Army directly into Beizhou and killed 200,000 barbarians! Destroyed the demon horse farm of King Yebuhan! Seized a total of more than 320,000 cattle, sheep and horses!"
Wow!!!
Even in the presence of the emperor, there was still a huge uproar in the palace.
"impossible?!"
"Didn't Lou Guan go to defend? How did he get out?!"
"Kill two hundred thousand barbarians? Is this something Lou Guan can do?"
"A demon horse farm?! A demon horse farm that breeds peerless war horses that can travel thousands of miles without eating anything?!"
"Hiss! 320,000 cattle and sheep, how is that possible?!"
"..."
Surprises and doubts arise one after another.
Almost no one is willing to believe that Lou Guan can achieve such results!
The most outstanding achievement of the military god Shen Tiannan was the brutal defeat of a barbarian king.
Although it looks more powerful, it was achieved after six months of stalemate based on the principle of no return.
And what about Louguan?
Not only did they abandon the pass and break into the barbarian lair, but they also beheaded 200,000 barbarians on the barren grassland with no way around them?
What is this concept?
Could it be that this Lou Guan is an even more unique military genius than Shen Tiannan?
The noise in the main hall continued, but Shen Yuchun hadn't finished speaking yet.
He suddenly raised the wooden box in his hand and roared louder.
"The commander-in-chief of the Chisong Army, Shen Tiannan, ambushed Zhanghua Mansion with 60,000 personal troops and defeated the 900,000 barbarian army!"
The words just fell.
The noise in the palace suddenly stopped and fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone stared at Shen Yuchun with wide eyes and a ghostly expression.
After a long time, Ji Xuanren, the elder of the cabinet, stepped forward and asked in a trembling voice: "You...you are talking about Brother Shen Tiannan? He...he is not dead?"
"Mr. Ge, our ancestors are still alive and well. The so-called death from illness is just a ploy to lure the enemy deeper."
Shen Yuchun answered with a smile, tears glistening in his eyes.
"Not dead... not dead..."
Hearing Shen Yuchun's answer, Ji Xuanren, a waning cabinet bachelor, suddenly burst into tears and turned over and over again with only one word left: "Okay, okay, okay! Okay!"
Not only did Mr. Ge's gaffe not make anyone laugh, but it caused a chain reaction on a large scale.
"My lord, the old man...isn't dead? Hahaha!"
"Not dead! Not dead! Hahahaha!"
"The sky has eyes, the sky has eyes!"
"A common man! An old common man! How dare you deceive me like this?!"
"Yes, when he comes back, we will definitely not break up with him!!"
"..."
Some people took off their official hats and messed up their hair.
Some people were crying, laughing, and dancing.
Some people beat their chests and vowed to make Shen Tiannan look good.
Emperor Yongtai watched quietly without saying a word. After these people had vented their anger, he asked: "Shen Yuchun, do you know the beginning and end of this battle?"
"My ancestor said that His Majesty would definitely ask this, so he asked the military advisor to come back with me."
Shen Yuchun smiled sheepishly.
He had already pestered Shen Tiannan to ask clearly about this battle, but if he was asked to explain it, he couldn't explain it clearly at all.
It's better to leave it to scholars.
Emperor Yongtai nodded.
Jia Hongyi sang: "Xuan! Chisong Army Advisor! Wu Ding!"
