After exhausting myself to death

Although Lilan had surrendered, most of the military strength was still left on the border to prevent them from counterattack. Only a part of the senior generals returned to Beijing with the Generalissimo.

Zhuo Feichen was also among those accompanying him.

The army entered Beijing and received a very warm welcome.

The people who were busy just to make a living didn't care about the right and wrong. They only knew that Da Qi had won another victory, and the children who went out to join the army had another hope of living.

Even if it's just out of a sense of belonging, it's always happier to win than to lose.

"The second prince is also very good. I heard that even General Zhuo admires him."

"Yes, yes, no wonder our Majesty likes him so much. If I had such a child, I would have to pamper and protect him."

"Head of the Shen family is still very discerning. When the second prince was still unknown, the head of the Shen family had already noticed his talent."

"Ha! Do you really believe it? What golden mask? Is the second prince so shameless? Those powerful people treat us like fools." Zhao Junde, as the most loyal supporter of the former prince, worked tirelessly to discredit Shen Minghuan. The first line is, "In my opinion, that white-robed man is not the second prince at all. He is probably that villain Shen Che."

The person next to me thought thoughtfully, "So you just think that the second prince is not very good, but you admit that Shen Minghuan is very powerful?"

Zhao Junde's expression froze and he hesitated to retort: ​​"You, how can you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air!"

This is just a small microcosm. In the eyes of different people, today's situation has different meanings.

King Rui is now in full swing, enough for them to re-evaluate each other's potential. After all, it doesn't matter whether Luo Xiuqi himself has this ability. What matters is that he has the ability to possess this ability.

Yanling is a pool of stagnant water that has been stirred up. All major forces have re-aligned their ranks. Shen Minghuan's name has been mentioned by countless people, and his past experiences have been read over and over again.

Although he had a reputation for talent in the past, they looked at him as if they were an outstanding junior, with an imperceptible arrogance.

They praised him for being a formidable young man, but in their hearts they didn't take him seriously. Even if the young Shen family leader really became a threat to them, it would be a long time later.

When the leaves began to turn yellow, Shen Minghuan joined the second prince with great fanfare.

At that time, Luo Xiuqi was just a well-known waste, so everyone regarded this as a joke.

It's just a game among children, so forget it.

Later, the leaves trembled and left the branches, and the wind blowing in the sleeves was infected with the slight chill of late autumn. The second prince transformed into a military marshal and marched to Mobei.

At that time, they were just shocked that the emperor was willing to do this for the second prince, but they were still not optimistic about it.

Mobei is a battlefield. When you are on the verge of life and death, it is easy to make achievements and be ugly.

But the second prince's performance this time was so wonderful that it was enough to erase all his previous shortcomings.

Shen Minghuan knows people like a torch? No, they are not blind.

But if the second prince is still incompetent, how capable should Shen Minghuan be?

On the surface, Luo Xiuqi was the most influential figure in Yanling during this period, but in fact, everyone talked more about Shen Minghuan.

The Shen family's mansion is always quiet and quiet, but I don't know which morning there has been an endless stream of visitors.

——They don’t think that Shen Minghuan makes only his own decisions. As the head of the Shen family, his words and deeds represent the Shen family.

——The Shen family, which has been noble for generations, wants to participate in the fight for the heir apparent. This is the hottest topic in Yanling after the news of the victory on the front line.

Shen Minghuan leaned lazily in the carriage, and could feel all kinds of burning eyes from the outside world without opening the curtain.

Li Chengzhuo looked at his disgusted expression in amusement, and stretched out his hand to tuck the curtains on the window tighter, "So annoying? But you are destined to be watched more in the future."

Sometimes he felt that Shen Minghuan was an omnipotent god, and sometimes he couldn't help but treat him as a child, so he couldn't help but be more gentle and caring towards him.

Shen Minghuan emphasized, "Don't add any more weird settings to me. I said I don't want the throne."

Zhuo Feichen glanced at him and thought, isn't this a rebellion? He wasn't someone who couldn't hide his words. After he guessed this, he didn't even say anything to Qu Zhengcheng.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess. Shen Minghuan has never concealed his contempt for Luo Xiuqi in front of them. This is not the attitude he should have towards his lord.

Zhuo Feichen is not a foolish and loyal person, and he does not stubbornly think that the surname in this world should be Luo. He became a general on his own, so the throne should be occupied by capable and virtuous people.

It snowed for the first time this year in Yanling two days ago, and pedestrians along the way had already put on winter clothes.

Shen Minghuan huddled lazily in the warm quilt, feeling deeply that his carriage was very crowded.

His carriage was so big that it had a comfortable and soft bed inside. The large table in the middle was filled with all kinds of pastries.

And three cups of steaming tea.

"That's all Li Chengzhuo. General, you are a man lying on ice with his sword on his back. Luo Xiuqi is riding outside, how can you be so depraved?" Shen Minghuan said.

Zhuo Feichen slowly took a sip of hot tea, sighed comfortably, and turned a deaf ear.

There was a lot of people outside the carriage, and all kinds of suspicions were rampant. Inside the carriage were three people who couldn't help themselves, enjoying a pot of tea in winter.

Many years later, Shen Minghuan was no longer in the world. The gray-haired Zhuo Feichen smiled and talked to Li Chengzhuo, his nostalgia mixed with sentimentality.

When they talked about the past, they jokingly called this carriage a gangster's nest, saying that there were three rebellious people sitting in it at the same time.

*

The Holy Spirit was merciful and could not bear the fatigue of all the generals, so he allowed him to go back to his hometown to rest and recuperate, and then go to the palace in the evening to report on his duties.

Although Zhuo Feichen has lived in Mobei for a long time, he is a general after all, and he still has a house in Yanling worthy of his status.

Li Chengzhuo entered the capital as a hostage, and even with Shen Minghuan there, he was not treated as a prisoner. The emperor was very considerate and treated him with courtesy. He not only arranged a special post station, but also sent officials in charge of foreign affairs to receive him.

Shen Minghuan didn't want to enter the palace, he just wanted to go home.

So he left without even saying hello, and had no intention of coming back in the evening.

The second prince has always been courteous and virtuous, so he probably wouldn't care about such a trivial matter.

Shen Minghuan rode the luxurious carriage prepared for him by the second prince to go home. Perhaps the family members did not want to be too blatant. Compared to these days, Shen Ming's residence was rarely quiet today.

The carriage swayed and stopped in front of the mansion. Shen Minghuan slowly got out of the carriage, wrapped himself tightly in his fur coat, and still held the folding fan that was incompatible with the season in his hand.

Shen An received the news and was standing in front of the door, winking at him anxiously.

Shen Minghuan was very relieved: "Xiaojiu, being popular is different. How long have I been away? How much do you think he misses me?" ]

The system thinks that someone can like Shen Minghuan with such an annoying personality. It is really one of the great unsolved mysteries of the universe.

"Uncle, thank you, goodbye." Shen Minghuan waved his folding fan.

The coachman saluted him silently, and then returned to resume his life with the empty carriage.

Well, although the second prince doesn't know about this yet, he has also given an order to obey Mr. Shen's instructions. Moreover, Mr. Shen's return is as fast as an arrow, and the second prince is considerate and would agree even if he knew about it.

Shen An trotted forward. When he saw the outsider leaving, he pushed Shen Minghuan with both hands, as if to drive him away. Shen An was so anxious that his face turned red and he was speechless for a moment.

Shen Minghuan was confused. He raised the folding fan and tapped Shen An's forehead gently, with a comforting smile, "I said, didn't I just take you out? As for not letting me in the house?"

Shen Minghuan doesn't like having people around him. He has never cultivated the consciousness of confidants, nor is he worried that no one will be available to him.

From the moment he was born and regarded as king, no one who was willing to surrender betrayed him.

Shen Minghuan does not need confidants, because everyone around him will become his believers.

Xinghe is loyal to their king, high in the mountains and far away in the rivers, with an unswerving determination.

——He thought it would always be like this.

Later, things changed, some people and things changed, but Shen Minghuan's habits and preferences were preserved.

"Master!" Shen An was so anxious that he returned to his previous title: "Master is back. You should go somewhere else to avoid the limelight. I will inform you when it is safe."

master?

Shen Minghuan remembered the letter Luo Xiuyuan sent home, which indeed asked the emperor to summon Shen Duo to return to the capital.

Due to Xiqiu's remoteness and the handover matters, he originally thought it would take a while, but he didn't expect Shen Duo to come back so soon.

I guess I missed "Shen Minghuan" too much, so I traveled day and night.

Innocent and simple little system worry reminder: [Host, based on the analysis of Shen An's expression, it doesn't seem to be a good thing. ]

Shen Minghuan asked: "Is grandpa at home?"

"...Yes." Shen An replied blankly, suddenly realizing that his anxiety just now was a little exaggerated.

It was the first time that Shen Minghuan left home for so long and went to such a dangerous place. Now that he is back, Shen Changqing will be there no matter what.

Since Shen Changqing is here, no one can hurt Shen Minghuan, let alone Shen Duo.

Shen An blushed. He was anxious just now, but now he is ashamed. He turned sideways and led the way, "Master, let's go in."

Shen Minghuan chuckled and walked ahead.

Shen An, who was behind him, looked at his back and couldn't help but lose consciousness. Why do you feel that after not seeing each other for a while, the young master is attracting more attention?

Shen Minghuan seemed to feel something and turned back suspiciously, "What are you thinking about?"

"No, no." Shen An deliberately changed the subject, "Master, Mobei must be very difficult, you have lost so much weight."

Shen An can tell "lost weight" through the thick fur coat, and Shen An is also a talented person who tells lies with open eyes.

Shen Minghuan laughed, and tapped the other person's forehead with the folding fan again. The movement was very gentle, and there was a special tenderness.

Shen An covered the place where he had been knocked and was stunned again.

The heads of the Shen family like to be quiet, and there are not many servants, but they are all well-trained. When they saw Shen Minghuan along the way, they all saluted with smiles on their faces, respectful yet close to each other.

Just like before Shen Minghuan left.

The ups and downs and rumors outside have not affected Shen Minghuan's appearance in their eyes at all.

The system ran through the program in confusion and thought it was normal.

In this era when life is worth less than grass, those who can sincerely thank the coachman deserve special treatment no matter how special it is.

"Master?" Shen An reminded in a low voice: "Did you go the wrong way?"

Logically speaking, when you return home from a long trip, you should meet your parents as soon as possible. Although the Shen family does not value formal etiquette, their head has extremely high demands on himself and is stricter with himself than anyone else.

Moreover, Shen Minghuan and Shen Changqing have always been close. Even if they didn't talk about rules and etiquette, Shen Minghuan would go to see Shen Changqing as soon as possible, even if it was just to report that he was safe.

But the path they were taking now led to the courtyard where Shen Minghuan lived.

Shen Minghuan snorted: "Am I wrong? Shen Xiaoan, just follow me."
