Madam, She Has a Tender Heart - Chapter 466

Chapter 466 Not a child anymore

Pei Shi was very surprised when he heard what Wu Xiu said.

At that time, Wu Quanzhong threw more than thirty ministers into the Yellow River and hanged nine princes of Zhaozong in Jiuqu Pond. King Xin was among them.

At that time King Xin’s son was still in his infancy.

 Wu Xiu was the long history official of Prince Xin’s Mansion at that time.

 “Are you sure?” Pei Shi stared at Wu Xiu, this was no joke.

Wu Xiu was stunned and shook his head: “I’m not sure. But he looks very similar to my sister and brother-in-law.”

Pei Shi let out a sigh of relief: “You can’t do it just by looking at it. You can’t do this as a joke. You can’t talk nonsense. Now the people of Zhenhai live and work in peace and contentment, and there won’t be any trouble.”

Wu Xiu was a little unwilling: “I have investigated and found that Master Lu’s eldest son is indeed not the biological son of Master Lu and Mrs. Su. Back then, Master Lu was under the command of Cui Sheng of the Fengxiang Army, Wu Quanzhong plotted to usurp the throne, and the princes and princesses all fled Chang’an. In the nearest Fengxiang, Wu Quanzhong ordered the army to surround Fengxiang. Lord Lu divided his troops and sent the emperor’s grandchildren out. I later went to Hedong to inquire and found out that if Zhi Gao was not in the team, he must have been hidden by Lord Lu. “

Pei Shi frowned tightly.

After thinking for a while, he shook his head: “This is impossible. Your Excellency did dispatch 10,000 elite soldiers to send the emperor’s grandchildren to Hedong, but you did not go with them. Instead, you stayed in Fengxiang and fought until the last moment. It was only after the city was broken that you took Marshal Cui to escape. . And Wu Quanzhong posted notices everywhere looking for him and Marshal Cui, so he had no chance to hide. “

Wu Xiu was unwilling to give up: “But Mr. Lu’s eldest son is indeed not his biological son.”

 “This alone proves nothing.”

“But he looks like my sister.”

Pei Shi narrowed his eyes and looked at him: “Then what do you want to do? What can you do?”

“If he is indeed my nephew, then the throne in Chang’an City naturally belongs to him.”

“Why should he? Or what can you do to help him? Do you have an army of millions in your hands, or do you have a lot of gold and silver in your treasury that he can use? Or do you have something in your hand that can answer the call? A capable person?”

Wu Xiu choked.

Pei Shi added: “I don’t care what you think. Now Zhenhai has finally reached the current situation. The soldiers and horses are strong, the food is abundant, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. All of this is hard-won. If others want to destroy him, I will be the first one.” disagree!”

“And you don’t have any evidence that he is your nephew. Even if he is, I hope you can think more about him and whether he wants to live the life of being roasted on a rack as you said.”

After Pei Shi finished speaking, he went out. I didn’t drink any wine and didn’t eat any food.

Wu Xiu was sitting alone in a private room. There was a long silence.

 Do nothing?

 But his brother-in-law and his sister died tragically. His Wu family also died tragically.

Pei Shi returned to the house, thought about it, plunged into the study, spread out the paper, picked up a pen and wrote a letter. He planned to ask his disciples to investigate the descendants of King Xin.

But the letter had just been written. Pei Shi thought about it, crumpled the letter into a ball, put it on the candlelight, and burned it.

 So what if it’s found?

Zhenhai is now calm and prosperous. Isn’t that what he wanted?

 Another person might not be able to achieve the current world situation. Just look at Liang and Jin. Now the Liang Dynasty is in decline and Jin is getting bigger. But what if Jin captured the Central Plains?

There are Wu, Yue, and Zhenhai on the Huaihe River, Chu, Nanping, and Shu to the south of the Yellow River, Min and Southern Han to the south, Nan Zhao to the southwest, Tubo to the northwest, and Khitan to the north. Internal and external troubles.

  Seizing the Central Plains was like being roasted on a fire.

 Zhenhai is doing well as it is now. Stabilize the people internally, defend externally, and not be afraid of foreign enemies. Zhenhai develops people’s livelihood economy internally, and has the ability to defend against enemies externally. It is a steady and steady attack, just like a paradise.

This is good, he does not allow anyone to destroy it.

Pei Shi burned the letter he had written and left the study. “Where is the young lady? Let her come and have dinner with me, an old man.” Pei Shi said to a servant with his hands behind his back.

“It’s the master, I’ll call the young lady now.”

 Completely unaware that Dabao was in the center of the storm, he and his brother were excitedly leading an elite cavalry force to launch the final attack on Caozhou from the two city gates of Caozhou, one from the south and the other from the north.

Although the two brothers are young, they have already established their prestige in the military. Lu Bocheng also carefully selected some people to follow his two brothers.

 They surrounded Caozhou for several days, but Caozhou could no longer resist. Today, Lu Bocheng is willing to let his two brothers lead the troops to call for formation, just to do the finishing work. It won’t be very dangerous.

Sure enough, it didn’t take long for the city gate to be breached. Caozhou’s defenders opened the city gate wide and welcomed Zhen Haijun into the city.

Since then, Zhenhai has added Caozhou under its jurisdiction.

 “Dad, dad!”

“What’s the matter?” Seeing Xiaobao running towards him excitedly, Lu Bocheng was smiling in his heart, but his face was serious.

“Dad, can my brother and I select some soldiers from Caozhou to join our team?”

Dad said that they are still young and it is not suitable to give them orders now. Without ranks, they cannot lead a team. There are only some guards and personal guards.

Except for some people selected by Lu Bocheng, if they want to add people to the team, they have to find people themselves and train people themselves. If someone in the army wants to follow them, other generals will let him go.

 Whether they can subdue the soldiers and let them follow them depends on the abilities of the two brothers.

Since he could not choose anyone from his own army, Dabao and Xiaobao focused on the Caozhou army that surrendered this time.

Lu Bocheng looked at the excitement on his youngest son’s face and couldn’t help laughing.

 Looking at Dabao who was following behind, he was also looking at him expectantly, and he couldn’t bear to refuse.

 Thought for a while and said: “Each military leader doesn’t have enough troops. I’m afraid it won’t be your turn to pick.”

Xiaobao jumped to his feet: “Dad, why don’t you keep your word? It was you who said that as long as we win Caozhou, my brother and I can choose people for our own team!”

“You each have brought more than a hundred people now. If you train them well, if one can equal ten, it will be enough.” Lu Bocheng was not very good at opening the door to his two sons.

“Dad! You are treating us like children! Which general only has a hundred men under his command!”

“Then you are not generals yet.”

Xiaobao choked.

He refused to give up: “Dad, you said that if my brother and I have made contributions in this battle, you will allow me and my brother to choose people! You can’t take away our merits, can you? Even if you don’t agree to confer the title, you won’t give it to me.” Let’s replenish our forces!”

 Hmph, dad’s words don’t count.

Lu Bocheng felt a headache when he saw his two sons looking at him accusingly.

The younger son will not turn thirteen in a few months. He is asked to add troops to his team. Who knows what other things this child will do to embarrass him.

 If his wife knew that he had sent his son to the front line, he might not even be able to get in.
