in the sound of swallows

Chapter 172 I'm Waiting For You

"The rooster is in the morning, Concubine Yan is afraid that if she continues like this, she will gain power in the court." There were also sober people who reminded Shen Guiwu like this.

Shen Guiwu is more sober than anyone else, but this is what he wants.So he didn't care, he had worked so hard on the battlefield for so many years, and now he finally settled down in the bustling place of the capital, Second Brother Shen actively devoted himself to Fireworks and Willow Lane, and gave Shen Guiyan all the jade seals.

Wen Shoushan fought hard in Lizhou and brought 20 troops. In less than half a year, half of them were lost.Shen Guiyan was very active in sending the defenders of the capital to reinforce them.Food and grass supply, soldiers drill, nothing is left behind.

So even if someone blows wind in Wenshoushan's ear, Wenshoushan doesn't think it's a big deal, as long as it can help him achieve great things, men and women are the same.

When holding the jade seal, Shen Guiyan seemed to be a different person, calm and calm, and handled things with a degree.If you don't look at that face, everyone will think she is a man.

Only Baoshan felt distressed. After the capital was broken, his master seldom spoke. At night, holding the crying child, he just walked around the house in silence.

When will the emperor come back?

When spring came, Shen Guiyan looked up at the willows sprouting by the palace wall with a dazed expression.

"Your Majesty, the prince seems a little strange." Baoshan put the six-month-old prince on the soft couch, and the strange thing was that his legs didn't move at all.

Shen Guiyan's eyes moved slightly, and she invited the imperial physician to see it.

Guo Yuanzheng said: "Your Majesty, the little prince's legs and feet... seem to be not very flexible."

What is inconvenient?Shen Guiyan stared at him, Guo Yuanzheng was a little flustered by the look, knelt down and said: "Probably brought out from the mother's womb, the little prince's legs and feet are not straight, I wonder if he will be able to walk normally when he gets older."

quack.

Lifting her skirt, Shen Guiyan went to the former Doctor Liu in Gu's mansion blankly. His medical skills made her feel more at ease.

Doctor Liu came into the palace, looked at the little prince over and over for a long time, and finally said with a smile: "The leg is deformed, it's okay, maybe it will be fine when I grow up."

Shen Guiyan nodded, finally smiled, hugged the little prince, watched his brows and eyes gradually stretched out and looked more and more like Gu Chaobei, kissed his little face with red eyes.

Dr. Liu got up and wanted to leave, but Baoshan stopped him and said, "Doctor, please stay in the palace. The master is not in a good condition now. He often gets sick and needs someone to take care of him."

Dr. Liu pinched his medical booklet and said dryly, "No need?"

Baoshan also smiled at him, pushed him to Tai Hospital, and snatched the medical book from his hand.

A new page was added, with the letter "Prince", followed by a note: "Leg bone deformity, congenital disability."

Bao Fan's eyes turned red.

It was also the national teacher who left with the emperor. If he was still in the capital, Baoshan would definitely pull him out and beat him severely.Didn't it mean that her master was born with Fengyu, so he was born with good luck?What is the order of the queen, what is the double great event, the master did not wait for a single one, but the one who waited was that the husband left her and the child was born with a disability!
Hiding behind the rockery, I cried enough, Baoshan wiped away the tears before I dared to go back to serve.

Shen Guiyan hugged the prince, but still didn't speak, just teased with her fingers lightly, the cute baby like colored glaze giggled because of her teasing.The sun from outside shone in and shone on her hair, Bao Shan felt in a trance that the master's black hair seemed to have turned white.

Some people are born to fight, and some are born to be good at writing.From the moment Shen Guiyan sat in the court, all the ministers in the court discovered that this woman was very politically cunning.

When it should be ruthless, she established [-] tortures, and even restored the long-abolished punishment of cannon fire.Follow the lead and follow the example, and if you don't follow, you will be executed.

When benevolence is due, benevolence treats the people. Shen Guiyan changed the system of farming and taxation, reduced taxes, encouraged farming, and advocated people-oriented and agriculture as a livelihood.

With Shen Guiwu backing her, a large number of officials in the court swore their allegiance to the death. Although some people criticized the Shen family for not abiding by women's morality and intervening in politics, Shen Guiyan still sat on this seat for three years.

In the past three years, Wenshou Mountain was defeated by Gu Chaobei. He once thought about retreating to the capital, but Shen Guiyan blocked the gate of the capital with troops and food, just to prevent Wenshou Mountain from coming back.Wen Shoushan also knew what Shen Guiyan had done in the capital, but on the opposite side was Gu Chaobei who was chasing after him, and behind him was Shen Guiyan's assistance.It was impossible for him to turn around and blame Shen Guiyan for messing up his position.

So Wen Shoushan had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue fighting.

People were devastated, and in three years, the world was devastated. Everyone said that the capital was the last holy land.Because Gu Chaobei attacked Wenshoushan's granary in Zhengzhou and burned down Erli in Zhengzhou, but he did not attack the capital.He wanted to come to the capital, but he was blocked by Wenshou Mountain. The two sides faced each other, and no one could go back to live a happy life.

Some people say that Shen Guiyan can become queen by herself, just like that shameless Wenshoushan, making herself a guardian king, sitting in that position, wouldn't it be more justifiable?

Shen Guiyan did not. She has always been called "Concubine Yan". She was dressed in a palace costume and sat on a dragon chair. Looking forward, when that person comes back, will he praise her for a job well done?

The first class lasted for three years, and her son hadn't been named yet, so he was called the First Prince.Some veterans suggested many names, but Shen Guiyan always shook her head stubbornly.

The eldest prince has a leg and foot problem, and at the age of three, he can only be carried away by the court ladies and eunuchs.Shen Guiwu made him a wooden wheelchair and pushed him to the Imperial Garden every day, for fear that the child would become gloomy and depressed because of his legs.

But he worried a lot, because his mother and concubine have been silent, the eldest prince has been very considerate and careful since he was a child, even if he couldn't walk, he didn't blame anyone, he just asked his uncle curiously: "Everyone said that the concubine mother is not dumb, But why didn't she speak?"

Shen Guiwu patted his head and said: "Your concubine mother has too many words in her belly, she is waiting for someone, and she can only speak out when that person comes."

The little prince seemed to understand, sitting on a large wheelchair, quietly looking at the flowers in the imperial garden.

"Your Majesty, I think that the capital is prosperous and the folk customs are simple, which is a rare good weather." Master Zhou, who was named Grand Master, was standing beside Shen Guiyan at this time and said, "Since it is already stable, there is no need to provide reinforcements. and food."

The word "An Ding" means that in this capital, those who still want to go to war and work for Wenshou Mountain have almost disappeared.Three years of ease are enough to wear down one's fighting spirit.

Wenshou Mountain's troops were exhausted, and their health has deteriorated a lot after years of fighting.Now as long as he loses again, he will fall like a mountain, and he will never be able to get back up again.

Shen Guiyan turned sideways and stared blankly at Master Zhou for a while, with shining eyes, everything she wanted to say was contained in her eyes.

What about him?

"In the past year, the emperor used the Huainan army to regain a lot of lost ground with General Yuwen. Now the most important place is the capital." Master Zhou said: "As long as the battle of Jingjiang is fought, the emperor can win again. Then it will not be difficult to come back and take the capital."

Eyes brightened slightly, Shen Guiyan picked up a pen and wrote the will: The reinforcements will withdraw and defend the capital.

Putting down the pen, holding the skirt, he ran to the harem, walked through the corridor, and ran in front of his son with a bright smile on his face.

"Why is Concubine Mother crying again?" The little child stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears that were about to fill her eyes.

Shen Guiyan shook her head, and hugged her son's small body tightly.

Gu Chaobei looked in the direction of the capital, standing on the watchtower, his mind wandering.

He was much thinner than before, and for three years, there was no news in the capital, and he wanted to send a message, but he was afraid of causing trouble for Yan'er.Back then, she was left in the capital without a word of explanation. Shouldn't she hate him to death?
Every time he thinks that Yan'er may never forgive him again, or even forget him, Gu Chaobei feels his whole body loses strength.

"Your Majesty." Zhuiyun helped him, looked at the height of the watchtower, pursed his lips and said, "Stand still, it will be soon."

Gu Chaobei turned to look at him, and asked softly, "Zuiyun, are you afraid?"

Zhuiyun was puzzled: "What are you afraid of?"

"Aren't you afraid that when we go back, Bao Shan will already be married?"

Zhuiyun's face turned pale.

Too many things can happen in three years, Bao Shan should be around soon based on her age, she is only two years younger than Concubine Yan Gui.

When he left suddenly at the beginning, no one thought about it. The emperor planned to fight in the street and defend to the death. How could he know that someone opened the city gate without any precautions. He didn't even have time to go back to the palace, so he had to leave the capital directly through the west gate.

Such a little time to evacuate was bought by Yuwen Changqing's temporary rebellion and the sacrifice of many soldiers.If the emperor went back to the palace to pick up people at that time, not only would no one escape, but the army would also be disappointed.How can a person who is too affectionate with his sons and daughters be able to sit firmly in this world?

The emperor did nothing wrong, and he did nothing wrong, but why are you regretting it now?

Zhuiyun didn't answer the emperor's question, but followed the emperor in a daze on the watchtower, his body crumbling.

The three armies fought, the old man Wen Shoushan was headstrong and conservative. Although the final battle lasted for more than a month, Gu Chaonan used his troops like a god and cooperated with Yuwen Changqing very well. His own soldiers did not lose too much, but the opponent did The posture of retreating from the capital.

"Chase!" The emperor ordered while standing on his horse in armor.

Everyone understands the reason why the poor should not chase after them, but this time, they followed the emperor and chased them for hundreds of miles.

Wenshoushan wants to return to the capital, but the gate of the capital cannot be opened.

"Nonsense!" The gray-haired old man Wen coughed: "Why don't you let me in the country I brought down? Where's Shen Guiwu?"

The confidant reported: "General Shen is said to be obsessed with brothels and doesn't care about world affairs. Concubine Yan Gui decides everything in Beijing."

Come on, let's go out for a while, and they changed the house key for him!
