Chapter 102 Chapter 102
Shen Yu's eyes gradually dimmed.
He didn't look back, just staring at the names written by himself in front of him.No one spoke, and then Shen Yu asked in a low voice: "Is it not suitable for me to be here?"
Is he no longer qualified for the post of Dengzhou prefect?
"No." Wu Junyi blurted out his denial.But categorically vetoing it seemed too pretentious. He immediately found another reason and said without hesitation: "When I left Beijing, my uncle was sick in bed. You should go back and visit your uncle. Besides, I am worried that your body will not be able to take it sooner or later." .”
This is of course an aboveboard reason.Wu Junyi's fundamental worry was that if Shen Yu stayed here any longer, one of his body and spirit would collapse first.
The problem of judgment is only a manifestation of the latter.
In fact, Shen He fell ill shortly after writing a letter to Shen Yu while paying homage to his ancestral grave.Wu Junyi sent the imperial doctor to take the pulse, he only said that it was caused by excessive worry and tiredness, and it was not a serious problem.Under Shen He's repeated begging, Wu Junyi did not tell Shen Yu about it.
But now, it's time.
The font on the paper is vain, which proves that Shen Yu's hand has almost lost the strength to hold the pen.
"Father..." Shen Yu was in a daze, and the ominous scenes in the dream appeared before her eyes again, but this time the bad news was so real that it came from people around her.
This is, retribution?
"Bojin!" Seeing that Shen Yu was in a daze again, Wu Junyi woke him up loudly, and pressed his hands on his shoulders vigorously, "Wake up, I'm still here, we will win! I just want you to go back and watch first Look at Uncle, and it's time for you to rest. If you continue to work so hard and collapse before the battle, what should I do!"
These sonorous and powerful words finally aroused Shen Yu's vitality, and the blood gradually returned to his face.
That's right, in his current state, staying in Dengzhou will only be a burden to Wu Junyi.Shen Yu also knew that there was something wrong with his judgment, but his influence on Wu Junyi was very important.War is the most intolerable mistake, and now, he is really not suitable to stay here.
"Okay." Shen Yu replied straight away, "Then I'll go back to accompany my father first. I'll wait for your... triumphant return."
"It's a promise, and there will be no obstacles." Wu Junyi met his gaze, and Shen Yu finally showed a faint smile.
Then came a series of transfer orders, and Shen Yu took the important job of "transporting grain" and returned to Beijing openly.
Shen Yu learned of his father's serious illness in a hurry, but the guilt for being unfilial overwhelmed the nightmare in his heart. He rushed all the way back, fell asleep in a hurry every night, and seldom dreamed. His originally frail body survived.
All the way to my father's side.
Shen Lin's red eyes from crying gave Shen Yu an ominous premonition.Song didn't ask why he came back, but pushed Shen Yu directly into the room, "Go in and see your father."
"The unfilial son is late!" Shen Yu knelt in front of Shen He's bed, tears streaming down her face.
Shen He's description was haggard, and he looked a bit exhausted.He opened his eyes and saw that it was Shen Yu, so he gave a reassuring smile and made a weak voice: "Da Lang is back, get up and talk, what does it look like crying."
"Father, what do you think?" Shen Yu asked softly.
Shen He coughed laboriously, and said slowly: "I know my body well. It's good that you're back, it's just the right time. I have a few words to tell you."
When Shen Yu heard the tone of explaining the funeral, her eyes turned red.But he struggled to hold back his tears, and moved closer to his father, "I... Shall I ask Erlang and mother to come in?"
"No, I'm talking to you specifically." Shen He panted, looking very struggling. "I can only tell you. I know that you have a grudge against your grandfather, but because he loves you a lot, and you are the eldest grandson of the eldest house, this matter can only be left to you."
Shen Yu remained silent, neither refuted nor obeyed, her face was pale and her body trembled.
Shen He continued intermittently: "It will be a matter of time before the imperial court regains the lost land, but unfortunately I am not lucky enough to see it. But, the fallen leaves return to their roots, I, I want you to send me and your grandfather back to my hometown..."
Then he remained silent, just staring at Shen Yu stubbornly, waiting for Shen Yu's reply.
Shen Yu took a few rough breaths, her chest was churning with blood, her complexion was not much better than that of Shen He on the bed.He was silent, hesitating, hesitating.There was a stalemate for a long time, but under the gaze of his father's faintly shining eyes, he could only do one thing, which was to nod.
Shen He seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and his body softened.
Shen Yu couldn't care less about the dike that was crumbling in her heart, and hurriedly called back her mother and Shen Lin who were guarding outside.
Holding his last breath, Shen He told Shen Lin: "I will listen to your elder brother from now on." After Shen Lin nodded with tears, he looked at his wife who had been together for decades with infinite dependence, and held her hand , forced out a smile, then closed his eyes and let go of his hands.
"Father!" Shen Lin cried and rushed forward.He was only 12 years old after all, still a child, unable to bear the blow of life and death.
Shen Yu immediately supported her mother, and said with red eyes: "Mom, please take care of yourself!"
Shen He was weak in his early years, and he was tortured all the way south, and his foundation was hollowed out. However, relying on the imperial doctor and precious medicinal materials, he can support him for a period of time.Wu Junyi didn't think it was serious, so according to what he said, he concealed his illness.However, because of Shen Tai's incident, Shen He felt guilty and suffered a lot. He couldn't rest well every day, and he couldn't drink the medicine soup, so he quickly drained his only energy.
Shen Yu has become the head of the family, he can only guard the crumbling fortress in his heart, with tears in his eyes, he arranges his father's funeral, and writes to ask Ding You to guard it.
On Dengzhou's side, not long after Shen Yu left, Wu Junyi ordered Deng Xian to lead the cavalry out of the tower and charge.
This was the first time that the cavalry of Daqi had a head-on confrontation with Xianbei. The soldiers were eager to try, and because Deng Xian led the team, everyone wanted to perform, and their morale was high.
What they rode were good horses traded from Xianbei, and what they carried were guns developed by the supervisor of firearms. They were led by the famous "Grandpa Deng" who defeated Xianbei every time. Now, none of the soldiers was willing to admit that they were inferior to others, and they rushed forward with all their strength.
Taking advantage of the cavalry confrontation, the soldiers on the tower were not idle. They were busy firing the artillery to bombard Xianbei's follow-up troops. The range of the artillery was limited, just enough to keep the cavalry fighting more.
Wu Junyi couldn't ride a horse and rush out to kill the enemy himself, so he climbed up the tower and directed the arrows and artillery in person.Seeing the emperor's demeanor, the guards guarding the city were naturally eager to show their loyalty.
There was also an accident during the period, which was nothing else: when a guard loaded the gun, he was probably too eager, filled too much, and ignited the fire too quickly, and the thick moso bamboo burst from it. Wu Junyi on the side was unprepared, The left hand was injured, and the soldier was killed on the spot.
It was just a flesh injury, Wu Junyi didn't take it to heart, but told them to strictly abide by the firearms supervision regulations when using firearms.
The others were terrified because of Wu Junyi's injury, and were even more worried about his health.
This battle was fought from dawn to late at night, and the Xianbei cavalry were extremely brave. Even if they fought more with less, the cavalry led by Deng Xian suffered a lot. Although this battle was won, it was really a tragic battle. win.
Wu Junyi ordered people to take back the densely packed corpses of people and horses in the city. The horses could scoop out the flesh and keep it as dry food. The people, of course, had their identities counted and buried in a decent manner.At this time, he was more and more grateful to send Shen Yu back to the capital in advance: even he couldn't bear to see this miserable scene, let alone Shen Yu?
Shen Yu, Bo Jin.
When Wu Junyi thought of Shen Yu, his heart would soften a lot.He knew that Shen Yu was not hypocritical, nor was he indecisive or benevolent.Only when he really understands can he empathize.In fact, there is nothing wrong with such a Bojin, but he himself, living in such a world, will be extremely uncomfortable.
Moreover, Wu Junyi could feel that there was something simmering in Shen Yu's heart, which was not revealed at all.
Just an encounter when he was a teenager didn't seem to be enough for him to push himself so hard.
At this moment, Wu Junyi received a report from Shen Yu and Ding You.
Ding You is the ancestral system, and Wu Junyi has kept filial piety for Emperor Yingzong for three years, and the ministers of the court are very strict with filial piety.So the Ministry of Etiquette also approved it smoothly, but because Shen Yu was still responsible for transporting food, now only Wu Junyi needs to give an order, and Shen Yu can be officially dismissed and go home.
When seeing Shen He's death, Wu Junyi's heart suddenly fell blank.Seeing Shen Yu's handwriting again, as if it was plainly written to keep filial piety for his father, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
No, he has to go back and have a look.
Even if it is placed on ordinary people, the pain of losing a father is a huge blow, let alone Shen Yu at this moment.
Xianbei's offensive has been resolved, and now there is no need for him to keep an eye on Dengzhou all the time.Wu Junyi was straightforward, regardless of his injured left arm, and immediately called Deng Xian to explain Deng Zhou's plan after he left.
Deng Xian crossed his arms and looked at Wu Junyi, who was acting resolutely, with a strange smile on his lips. "I saw Master Shen returning to the capital, so I guessed that His Majesty couldn't sit still."
There are many deep meanings in this sentence, but Wu Junyi just slightly raised his eyebrows, "Mister, do you still need me to sit in the town in person to win the battle?"
"Since that's the case, I have nothing to say." Deng Xian glanced at him lightly, then retracted it. "However, please be careful, Your Majesty, military generals should not take Ding You lightly. Although Master Shen is not a military general, he is also responsible for military supplies."
This is a reminder of Wu Junyi, which can be used as a reason to make Shen Yu fall in love.Wu Junyi didn't say much, and after thanking him, he hurried back to the capital with a few attendants.
Wu Junyi returned incognito, so he couldn't help returning to the palace with great fanfare, and rushed directly to Shen Mu's cemetery.
The first seven days have passed, Shen He has been buried, and there are only three people living together in a hut next to the tomb.
In just a few days, Shen Yu was already so thin that he was out of shape. His pointed chin and pale face were indistinguishable from the filial piety on his body.
"My minister, meet your majesty."
