Yanmenchun

Chapter 260

When Jiang Lan returned to Prince Yan's Mansion, Shen Tuchan was playing the pipa in the pavilion, and there were only her and Chunyu in the pavilion, because they played very melodiously.

It's not like playing the pipa, but playing.

When Shen Tuchan saw Jiang Lan, she put down the pipa in her hand and said, "I wonder if Your Highness has brought me good news?"

Jiang Lan felt that she still smelled like pickles, so she didn't get too close, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, there are more than you think."

Shen Tuchan's eyes lit up: "How did Han Tong agree? Can we set off for Mobei right away?"

Seeing that she was coming over, Jiang Lan hurriedly said, "I'll go and change first, and I'll talk to you when I come back."

After saying that, she turned around and left, Shen Tuchan went directly to the study with her pipa in her arms.

Chun Yu is young and straightforward, so she stretched out her hand to help Shen Tuchan hold the pipa and said: "Madam, the prince didn't come home yesterday, isn't it because he is afraid that the smell of some powder will smell on you?"

Shen Tuchan handed her the pipa, raised her eyelashes and glanced at her without speaking.

Chun Yu knew she had said the wrong thing, so she bowed her head and followed without daring to speak again.

After Jiang Lan bathed and changed her clothes, she was refreshed, and as soon as she entered the study, she leaned over and said, "Naturally, Han Tong didn't agree, and even went directly to the imperial court to argue. At worst, he doesn't want to abandon this son. I don't know if he can abandon his son, but once he says Come out, that is to resist the decree, and he, the assistant leader of Yuzhou, should not do it anymore, he has no other choice but to agree."

Shen Tuchan naturally also expected it, she leaned on the back of the chair and looked up at Jiang Lan who was standing there and said, "He has lost half of his family property now, I'm afraid that Yuzhou..."

Jiang Lan didn't tell Shen Tuchan that the crown prince knew more or less about this matter, and it was related to Jiangshan Sheji, so he said: "Don't worry, there will be no future troubles."

If Han Tong dared to use this to search for people's fat and people's anointing, he would just take the handle and send it to the court, one radish and one pit, and those who wanted to replace him in the Dajin officialdom could name a basket.

Shen Tuchan put her hands on the desk and stood up, "Then let's set off for Mobei in two days."

Jiang Lan met her gaze and nodded.

Both the empress and the Zhenbei Houfu knew that Shentuchan would go to Mobei again sooner or later, but the military department had some complaints because Shentuchan took the emperor's royal card and left.

With the Emperor's Royal Card, one can mobilize Mobei's officialdom, as well as generals and soldiers. If there are differences of opinion during a war, Shen Tuchan, a female family member, can dictate, and with the support of King Yan and the Emperor's token, it will have an immeasurable impact on the war.

But regardless of Princess Yan's status, she is still the lord of Yichun County Shen Tuchan, and she is entrusted with Mobei. She is enshrined by the people of Mobei, and Mobei also built a princess mansion for her. It is reasonable for her to go to Mobei , no one could openly resist her going to Mobei in the court.

It was for this reason that Shen Tuchan climbed up desperately. She wanted to return to Mobei in a legitimate way, just like when Shen Tulang received the emperor's decree to take over the soldiers and horses trained by his father and go to Mobei to serve.

Shen Tuchan didn't intend to bring maids with her when she went to Mobei, but only brought a few women who were rough envoys. These women were strong and strong, and they were willing to travel long distances.

But Han Fei begged on her own knees to go to Mobei with Shentuchan. Shentuchan was related to her glory for the rest of her life. The so-called wealth and wealth are in danger. If she can accompany her to Mobei, she will be Shentuchan's confidant when she comes back.

Shen Tuchan would not refuse if she wanted to, but she also warned Han Fei that if Han Fei was slow, she would leave Han Fei at the post station or passing government office at any time, and Han Fei would have to find a chance to go back In the capital city, Shen Tuchan would not care about her.

Han Fei is not a person who does not know what is good or bad, she is just a maid, and Shen Tuchan did not abandon her casually, which is considered a kindness, so she firmly said: "Princess, don't worry, this servant vows to accompany the princess back from Mobei. This statement is firm and will never change. .”

Shen Tuchan didn't even wait until the new year in the capital city before embarking on a new journey.

This time, Jiang Lan and Hu Dao accompanied her, and her maid became Han Fei.

Shen Tuchan remembered to ask Jiang Lan on the way: "Where is Han Tong's son? What about Han Ruoyi's marriage?"

In the winter, Jiang Lan did not ride a horse, but took a carriage with Shen Tuchan, he said: "Han Ling was sent back to Yuzhou directly, Han Tong will not let him enter the capital until Han Ruoyi gets married, Han Ruoyi The marriage is still the same, Han Tong is the head of the family after all, Han Ruoyi can only marry into the Lu residence honestly."

Shen Tuchan walked along the dark green lapel on her waist: "Han Ruoyi comes in, my good aunt will be someone who will accompany her to fight with her in the future."

Her displeasure towards Shen Tufang was palpable, Jiang Lan held her by the shoulders and let her lean against him, then changed the subject and said, "You brought back a lot of gifts and money from Tai'an and the Qin family, and you came back with me Putting on your own dowry, and cheating half of the Han family's wealth, I am afraid that the royal father's private treasury is not as good as yours, so what are you going to do? Give Mobei double the military salary?"

When Shen Tuchan asked Princess Tai'an and the Qin family for money, Princess Tai'an even suspected that Shen Tuchan was not for Mo Bei, but purely for money, inexhaustible money.

But this is too strange, Shen Tuchan enjoys the extreme wealth and honor in the world, and she can't spend so much money if she doesn't land in her whole life.

Jiang Lan didn't even want to understand this point.

Shen Tuchan raised the curtain and looked at the bleak mountains outside, and said to Jiang Lan, "It's okay to tell you now."

She let the cold wind blow away a little of the boredom caused by the charcoal pot before she put down the heavy curtain and said: "Since Li Jingshu died, when I vowed to kill Yuwenji, I wrote a letter to my brother and Uncle Cang in Hanzhong. secret letter."

Her gaze fell on Jiang Lan's face solemnly: "I asked them to find a way to make artillery."

Jiang Lan was shocked for a moment: "What did you say?"

Shen Tuchan's face was very serious, and her voice was clear and powerful: "Fire, my father once told me when he was alive that there are more barbarians than the Huns on the other side of the sea. They have a weapon called cannon, which is like fireworks exploding. I asked my brother to find all the manuscripts of my father, but we found nothing."

She paused, but Jiang Lan knew that there must be some progress in this matter, otherwise Shen Tuchan would not have amassed so much money.

Sure enough, Shen Tuchan continued: "But my brother used to work in Tianjin Wei, Tianjin is close to the sea, my brother went to sea, he has never seen the barbarians on the sea, but there are powerful people in Tianjin Wei, so he paid to hire Many people go to sea."

Jiang Lan's expression was also very serious, until Shen Tuchan said: "Many of these people died. They didn't get the heavy artillery, but they brought back the residual pictures."

So Shentuchan needs a lot of money, she wants to make artillery, and she wants to use it on the battlefield in Mobei.

But this is not an easy task, and it may take countless years for it.

Shen Tuchan said frankly: "I am a woman, no matter how good my kung fu is, I can't defeat a hundred on the battlefield. I have limited military skills. I can win by surprise in the court and boudoir, but I don't have such skills on the battlefield." Opportunity, who knows if I have talent?"

She has been going crooked, just like a game of chess, what is her ultimate goal, she has no way to go, as long as she can get there.

Princess Yunnan's daughter joined the army, but she studied the art of war seriously, practiced martial arts and archery, and got the chance to join the army after many competitions. She started as a soldier and made some achievements. After climbing up, although she is not the commander-in-chief now, she already has a place in the army.

Shen Tuchan is not, she seems to have never thought of taking that road, but tried her best to shorten this long road. She will be sent back to Mobei, and she will preside over Mobei. She doesn't know If he has the ability to survive on the battlefield, he will look for other confidence.

In fact, Jiang Lan didn't know that Shen Tuchan wanted to go that way at first, but when she was waiting for Feng Yingru to marry into the Chen family, she had already spied on other things, such as imperial power.
