meet again

Chapter 289
In the following month, good news came one after another in Jizhou.

The court soldiers had enough fine food, and General He was good at leading troops in formation.Those militiamen didn't even have a few serious weapons.Half of the soldiers stationed in the original guard ran away, and the remaining half owed food and salaries all the year round, and they couldn't get enough to eat.It is conceivable how the combat power is.

After several victories and battles, the bandits were quickly suppressed.The troops stationed in the guard are retreating steadily.

In the battle report, the name of Lieutenant General Shen You finally appeared.

"General He fought with the garrison, and Vice-General Shen took two thousand soldiers to raid the garrison's lair. Vice-General Shen personally beheaded the leader of the group of rebels. The rebels were dispirited and surrendered on their knees."

"This time, Lieutenant Shen made a great contribution."

Wang Zhang said with a smile.

A smile flashed in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he nodded slightly: "Gu really saw the right person. General He is brave and good at fighting. Although Shen You is younger, he is quite talented in leading the army."

General He was originally from the Yuan family army.The prince not only reused General He, but also cultivated and supported his confidants.

This is the way of balance.

Wang Zhang remained calm, and echoed with a smile: "The person His Highness values ​​is indeed extraordinary."

Yuan Hai didn't know if he heard the meaning behind Wang Zhang's words, but he also said with a smile: "When the army returns, His Highness will reward Shen You for his meritorious service, and it's time to give Shen You a promotion."

The Yuan family holds one hundred thousand frontier troops, and under their command there are countless elite soldiers like a cloud, and they have the confidence and confidence of being the number one general in Daqi.

Shen You is a hereditary Jinyiwei, who was also the Prince's personal guard.Now the crown prince releases Shen You to lead the army to hone his qualifications, and when the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, the position of commander of Jinyiwei will most likely belong to Shen You.

The important task of the commander of Jinyiwei is to guard the safety of the emperor.And the frontier army are two systems, it can be said that well water does not violate river water.Yuan Hai was happy to send a favor.

The prince said with a casual smile, "Let's talk about meritorious deeds and rewards when the army returns to court! I'm going to see my father now, and report the victory to my father."

Wang Zhang Yuan Hai and other officials of the Eastern Palace surrendered.

The prince got up and went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

When the prince went out, there were dozens of guards with swords behind him, and several servants accompanied him.The head servant is none other than Eunuch Yang.From a month ago, there was another young Eunuch Feng.

A group of people arrived outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony in a mighty manner.

The guards had to stay outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and Eunuch Yang followed the prince into the Hall of Supreme Harmony.With Eunuch Feng's status at this time, he was not qualified to enter the palace, so he waited outside the palace.

The rules in the palace are strict, and the Hall of Supreme Harmony is even more solemn.There are so many royal guards and servants inside and outside the hall, but there is no sound.

In such a dignified atmosphere, if you were a timid person, your legs would tremble and your whole body would already be trembling.

But Feng Shaojun is like a fish in water, quite happy.

Not long after the prince entered, King Qin also came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Since Xue Pan was executed and Xue Lin was dismissed from office, the illustrious Xue family has plummeted.Emperor Long'an didn't severely punish the King of Qin, but was indifferent and distant day after day.

In just over half a year, King Qin actually had a few strands of gray hair and wrinkles on his forehead, making him look much older.There is no longer the attitude of being aloof and arrogant in the past.

"His Royal Highness Qin Wang, please stay." The servant guarding the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony said respectfully: "The emperor is discussing with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and strictly prohibits anyone from disturbing him. Please wait a moment, Your Highness."

He didn't even have the intention of going in to communicate, so he stopped King Qin directly.

A trace of sullenness flashed in King Qin's eyes, and his voice was mild: "This king also has something to report to Father. You go in and pass it on."

The servant had no choice but to agree, and after a while, Eunuch Shen came out.

Eunuch Shen bowed to the King of Qin: "Your Highness, please follow the slaves into the hall to have an audience."

King Qin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, responded, and followed Eunuch Shen into the hall.

Feng Shaojun glanced at King Qin from the corner of his eye, and sneered secretly in his heart.

Seeing that King Yan, who was originally overwhelmed by him, became the crown prince, his position became stable day by day, but his holy family was getting thinner and thinner. Compared with the two, there is heaven and earth.

This kind of taste, let King Qin taste it slowly!
……

"I have seen my father, and I have seen the prince."

Regardless of how aggrieved and unwilling King Qin was, when he saw Emperor Long'an and the crown prince, he did not reveal anything and saluted respectfully.

Emperor Long'an responded nonchalantly: "Get up!"

The prince got up quickly, and gave King Qin a little help: "Brother, hurry up, please get up."

The King of Qin stood up and smiled at the prince: "I heard that there is another good news from Jizhou. General He won the battle, and Vice-General Shen also made great contributions. The prince really knows people!"

General He is not outstanding among military generals, and Shen You has never led a soldier.The crown prince chose these two at the beginning, and King Qin laughed behind his back a few times, waiting to see the excitement.I never thought about it, I waited and waited, and all I waited were good news.

You said it was outrageous!
The crown prince and King Qin have been brothers for decades, and they know King Qin's temperament like the palm of their hands. Hearing this, he smiled: "General He was recommended by Yuan Shilang, and Vice General Shen is my personal soldier. He gave his life to save me, and he is loyal to me this time. In Jizhou, no one from the Eastern Palace has been lost.”

As soon as "sacrificing his life to save each other" was mentioned, the King of Qin felt guilty, and his tone softened a bit: "This Shen You is indeed a talent to be made."

Emperor Long'an frowned slightly, and glanced at King Qin faintly: "You came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony just to say these things?"

The indifference and displeasure in the words made King Qin's heart tremble.

Emperor Long'an did not implicate King Qin in Xue Pan's matter.However, what is going on in the end, they know each other well.After Xue Pan's death, Emperor Long'an only saw him two or three times out of ten times when King Qin asked to see him.

Today's King Qin's status in the palace is not as good as that of King Zhao.

King Qin swallowed the humiliation and anger in his throat, and said to Emperor Long'an: "Father is approaching in the future, and my son thinks that there will be many happy events in the palace this year, and father's birthday should be more lively."

Emperor Long'an's face remained unmoved: "It is too costly to organize a palace banquet. Now that the national treasury is not full and Jizhou is still fighting, the birthday banquet can be simpler."

Qin Wang wanted to flatter, but he patted the horse's hoof, and smiled awkwardly.

The prince opened his mouth and smiled at the right time: "Although the national treasury is not abundant, the war in Jizhou can still afford it. Besides, the imperial father's thousand-year-old birthday banquet will be paid by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It's better to arrange it, and let the brothers and sisters do their best. The filial piety of the Son of Man."

Emperor Long'an's expression softened, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The prince is filial, and I am very relieved. Then according to the prince's wishes, the birthday banquet will be more lively."

King Qin: "..."

The king of Qin was so stunned that he had to force a smile to agree: "Father said yes. I will go to the third and fourth brothers later, and have a good discussion."

Emperor Long'an hummed: "Let the crown prince take the lead, you brothers, if there is something unresolved, just ask the crown prince."

Qin Wang took a mouthful of old blood pressure and responded with a smile.
