After the rebellion of 54 years was put down, the frightened dignitaries suddenly realized that there was a strange situation hidden under the calm regime. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Self-preservation in troubled times is the way to survive, and I don't know which powerful people were the first to realize, and after foresight, they decided to expand and train their own guards according to the specifications in the army. In the following years, the capital began to prevail in the style of maintenance, in its heyday, there were 18 colleges dedicated to training guards for senior officials, and the instructors were selected as retired lieutenants in the army, and the dogma was to practice the military precepts of "order by text and practice by force".

It is no exaggeration to say that if this team were united, it would be easy to break through the Imperial City, which was guarded by the Imperial Guards.

The saint had a lot of complaints about this, but at the beginning of the rebellion, everything was in ruins, and he urgently needed time to recuperate and rebuild his homeland, so he couldn't spare his hands to deal with this matter. After the country was stabilized, the entire conservation system has become self-contained, and the relationship covers hundreds of civil and military generals.

And this flood, for the people, is a natural and man-made disaster that makes them lose their grains, but for the saints, it is the best opportunity to eliminate hidden dangers. It's just that the court is intertwined, and what he needs is not only an opportunity, but also a sword to break through the predicament for him.

"Good! Good! Good! Mrs. Li, who had been standing by the door with his eyes down and meditating, suddenly clapped his hands and praised, and called three good words in a row. Nalan Qi saw his eyebrows dancing through the gap, and his face was full of energy, and he thought about this relationship.

"Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth" Immediately, he lifted his official robe again, hurriedly strided, walked to Nalan Yuze, who was respectfully standing on the side of the kang, and looked at him carefully.

"It's just a yellow-mouthed child, just talking nonsense! Taifu Mo praised him. Huang Shangshu hurriedly shook his head, but the expression on his face was smiling.

Nalan Yuze has been standing quietly with his head slightly down.

"Yuze, haven't you admired Guozijian's students for a long time, but you are suffering from the fact that you can't reach the entrance threshold of eight years old? Mrs. Li is the head of Confucianism, and the article is a giant prince, what do you have to say to Mrs. Li. Huang Shangshu took a sip of hot tea and instructed Nalan Yuze in a gentle tone.

Without waiting for Nalan Yuze to reply, Mrs. Li stroked his beard and smiled: "What's so difficult about this? It is just a matter of a letter of recommendation, and it is also a blessing for the country to add another talent. ”

After that, he got up and made a series with Huang Shangshu, and said goodbye: "The idea is decided, my heart is really a big stone to the ground, so I won't delay Shangshu and his children to gossip here." ”

"Slowly, slowly, isn't Taifu Mo going to visit Lord Nie, the governor of the river? I'm afraid it's a little embarrassing to go to Lord Nie's house at this time. Huang Shangshu shouted again and again, with a slightly strange smile on his face.

"This morning, my protégé came to visit, saying that Lord Nie's original wife died violently last night."

He lowered his voice suddenly.

"I heard that he was killed by a concubine."

"Oh, can Shangshu confirm?" Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows, her voice was a little surprised, but she still didn't believe it.

"Can this kind of thing still be used to deceive people? Originally, it should have been a violent death, but Mrs. Nie was from the royal family of northern Jiangsu, and it was a great family that had practiced medicine for generations. Huang Shangshu paused, and his voice became deeper and deeper.

"My protégé happened to be the descendant of the Wang family, and it was Mrs. Nie's father who went to see his daughter off for the last time and found that Mrs. Nie's nails were pink and could not be washed. He had read in ancient books that there was a colorless and odorless poison prescription that caused death, and it was such a symptom after it caused death, and it caused a fuss in Nie's house last night. ”

Pink nails? Nalan Qi suddenly felt that her back stiffened, and her heart jumped suddenly, she had also seen a person like this after death.

In the last life, the eldest lady of the Nalan family died suddenly at the border pass, because it was winter, Uncle Nalan filled the sedan chair with ice and sent it back for burial. When he arrived home that day, Nalan Qi happened to see it, although he was still young, he still didn't know how to remember. And what impressed her the most was the weird pink hands with weird pink nails exposed in the brocade that wrapped the eldest aunt!

Could it be that the eldest aunt was murdered?

Nalan Qi suddenly felt that all the disordered information in his head was connected, and he instantly became much clearer. But then, she only felt that her internal organs were like falling into an ice cave, and her heart sank as if it was filled with cold lead.

The past events in her previous life that she thought she had forgotten gradually became clear again.

In March of the 60th year of pouring ink, Nalan Yuze, the grandson of Nalan's family, proposed the idea of recruiting the official family and the guards from the full-time college to go to Quanzhou City to fight the disaster.

On the morning of the second day, Mrs. Li reported to the court, and the saint Longyan Dayue summoned Nalan Yuze above the court, praising him for having the style of a family's children, and he will be a pillar of the country in the future.

Nalan's family was full of flowers for a while, cooking oil with fire, but behind the flowers and cooking oil lurked a lot of killing machines.

In the early spring of that year, the regulation of Nalan's tailoring was adjusted from four sets of new clothes per quarter to two sets of new clothes per quarter, and then, the grade of travel, food and other aspects began to decrease.

Nalan Qi remembered that she had asked the maid who served the eldest lady at that time, and she replied vaguely, only that the big traders who were used to cooperating with the Nalan family in previous years suddenly stopped signing the contract this year, and the grain stored in the dealer and the brocade from the dyeing workshop could not be sold, so they were sold, and the price was also very low. The Nalan family couldn't turn over funds for a while, and they were a little strapped for money.

Now that I think about it, most of the merchants in the capital are controlled by a few imperial merchants. In the spring of the 60th year of pouring ink, the entire national capital was the heyday of cultivating guards, and cultivating guards for dignitaries and nobles was the main source of income for these imperial merchants. An idea of the Nalan family cut off half of their wealth, and these imperial merchants were dissatisfied with the Nalan family, and secretly instructed their traders to make some stumbling blocks, and it was reasonable not to buy goods from the Zhuangzi and stores of the Nalan family.

However, the attitude of the imperial merchants was only the beginning of the decline of the Nalan family.

The court ministers spent years of financial and material resources to accumulate half of the power overnight, and their cold face to the Nalan family because of this incident and the open guns and arrows were the fatal stab for them to fall from a first-class family to a second-rate family.

In April of the 60th year of pouring ink, the only uncle in Nalan Mansion who had real power above the court died suddenly and returned from the frontier to mourn.

After the expiration of the March term, 81 people, led by cabinet scholars, suddenly wrote a letter saying that General Nalan had been stationed at the border for many years, had worked hard and made great achievements, and had passed the position, but he was alone, and he should first stay in the capital to find a marriageable woman to start a family. The saint was very moved when he heard this, and asked Uncle Nalan to return home first to find a match, and said that the army could not be without generals for a day, so he took advantage of the situation to accept military power.

In just a few months, the vicissitudes of life, "Han Feizi" once said, "The embankment of a thousand zhang collapses with the nest of ants; A hundred-foot room, burning with a sudden gap", but who knew that the prologue to the decline of the Nalan family actually started with an insignificant or even well-intentioned idea?

Cease! Cease! Cease! Nalan Qi thought about his previous life, and only felt that his heart was surging.

Their Nalan family has been inherited from the previous dynasty for more than 200 years, no matter what kind of dirt they have in private, they have always been loyal to the imperial power, so why is it so sinful?
