Chapter 360 Concentric
The border war situation is unfavorable, and the people in the capital are in a turmoil.
The Duke of Pingguo's mansion was even more panicked.
Duke He Lin of Pingguo was the commander of the border army, and He Song was the general in the army. Most of the children of the He clan were in the border army camps. The border army had a bad war and many casualties. Every time the battle reports sent to the capital, there was a list of deaths. Among the children of the He clan's side branch, two people were killed.
Fortunately, He Zhi had a great life and survived.
On that day, the scout camp where He Zhi was located went deep into the grassland to find out the news and encountered a group of Tatar cavalry. More than a hundred scouts died, and only a dozen survived. He Zhi was among them.
But the border wars are constantly fighting. Who knows if He Qi has such good luck and can be safe and sound?
Wei was overly worried and became angry and almost gave birth prematurely. He was lying on the bed all day long with his belly that was more than seven months old.
The Grandma of Duke Ping still could hold on. When he went to visit Wei, he comforted him: "As a son of the He family, he must fight."
"The loss rate of recruits when they go to the battlefield is the highest. As long as they can survive the previous one or two years and become veterans, there are many opportunities to survive safely."
Wei is a noble daughter from a general. Her own father is also a military general who leads troops to fight. Most of the brothers in the family are in the military camp. She doesn't need to explain the truth in detail, she also understands the truth.
But I understand that it is one thing, but it is another to worry about it day and night.
"What the grandmother said is," Wei replied in a low voice with red eyes: "The grandson-in-law understands the truth. Erlang made a big mistake that day, and now is a great opportunity for him to atone for his sins."
The lady swallowed her sigh into her throat and said warmly: "It's good that you understand. Now that you are pregnant, you should put your body first. If you have a son in your stomach, even if Erlang has a good or bad, you can leave incense. You will also have hope and support for the rest of your life."
Wei held back his tears, and his soft voice should be.
After visiting Wei, the eldest grandson wife stood up and left. Zhu, the eldest grandson daughter-in-law, supported the eldest grandson's arm and returned to the inner hall.
The lady didn't know what she was thinking, frowned and looked solemn.
Zhu was cautious and didn't say much, and stood by silently. After a long time, the grandmother opened her mouth: "Zhu, please ask me to go to the doorman to give me instructions. As soon as Dalang Sanlang Silang returns to his house, let them see me immediately."
He Qi was on duty in the palace, and He Dalang had already entered the military camp, and He Silang also entered the military camp at the beginning of this year. After counting the days, the three of them happened to go home tonight.
Zhu responded respectfully.
...
After dark, He Qi left the palace and returned home.
The concierge manager came forward diligently: "Your Majesty, the grandmother sent someone to pass the message and asked the prince to go to the inner hall to speak."
He Qi nodded slightly, turned over and dismounted, and quickly walked to the inner hall.
He Dalang and He Silang had already been waiting in the inner hall. He Dalang had not changed much, but He Silang had grown taller this year, looking quite heroic.
Since He Zhi went to the border, He Qi was made the crown prince, and the Duke Ping's mansion was completely settled. There were no undercurrents, and He Dalang and He Silang were willing to avoid retreating, leaving He Qi first.
"Grandmother specifically asked us brothers to come here, so there must be something important to discuss." He Qi's face was not seen at all, but his voice was a little low: "Is it for the border war?"
The lady was not in the mood to go around the circle and nodded directly: "Yes."
"The Marquis of Pingxi will soon lead troops to reinforce the border troops. Among you three brothers, someone must go to the border together. Leading more personal soldiers and generals can also help you. Besides, I can't worry about your father and second uncle. Someone must go and see it in person."
While speaking, he glanced at the faces of the three brothers.
He Qi obviously had expected it and was not surprised. He Dalang He Silang was a little surprised, but he quickly reacted and rushed to him, "Grandma, let me go."
The two brothers looked at each other.
As the prince, He Qi was neither married nor had any children. Moreover, he was the commander of the imperial guards of Jian Zai Dixin, so he would never leave the capital without permission. Silang Wulang was still young, and the only one who could go to the border was the only one of them.
He Dalang said in a deep voice: "I am the eldest son of the He family, and I have children and daughters. It is most suitable for me to go to the border."
He Silang said, "The border is fighting, and the capital is in turmoil. The third brother has to go to the palace to serve in the office every day, and there must be someone in the inside and outside the mansion. I am still young, and not to mention outsiders, even the personal soldiers and generals in the mansion may not be willing to listen to me. It is just right for the eldest brother to stay!"
He Dalang frowned: "Fourth brother, there is no eye-catching sword on the battlefield, it's not a joke. If there is any good, you don't even have a child..."
He Silang interrupted He Dalang: "If something happens to me, my elder brother will give birth to more sons and adopt them. From now on, I will bring incense sticks to me on the Zhongyuan Festival."
Everyone: "..."
Even though the lady was full of worries, she was amused: "Okay, don't argue with you brothers. Saburo, who do you want to go to the border?"
He Lin and He Song were at the border and didn't care about the capital. Now, He Qi had to make a decision on the major affairs in the Duke of Pingguo's mansion.
He Dalang and He Silang looked at He Qi together, his eyes as firm as ever.
He Qi felt a surge of enthusiasm: "Brothers are united and their strength is to cut off gold. The elder brother and fourth brother have this intention and are rushing to go to the border. I thank the elder brother and fourth brother first."
As he said that, he bowed with his fists.
He Dalang and He Silang were also shocked by He Qi's actions: "Third brother (third brother)!"
Even brothers have been beaten by him since they were young. Over the past year, the changes in He Qi have been obvious to everyone. It is hard to deny that such He Qi is even more convinced.
He Qi stood up straight and looked at his brother and brother: "We are brothers, so there is no need to say much about those polite words. The border war is urgent, and I am also worried and anxious. However, I am on duty in front of the imperial court and cannot leave Beijing."
"There are five hundred personal soldiers in the mansion. Please ask the elder brother to bring two hundred personal soldiers to the border."
A happy expression flashed in He Dalang's eyes and replied in one go.
In desperation, He Silang blurted out: "Third brother, let me go! My sister-in-law is pregnant again, and my brother stays in the capital. When the child is born, it will not be too late to go to the border again."
The three brothers knew very well that it would be impossible to go to the border at this time. There was no eyebrow on the battlefield, so maybe they would be covered with horses and corpses.
As soon as He Silang said this, Zhu, who was standing aside, immediately said softly: "The fourth brother has such a good mood. I am the eldest sister-in-law. However, the old and the young are in order. With your elder brother here, it is not your turn to go to the border."
