220 Nine Gifts

Zhu Xuan glanced at the person opposite and said, "I still owe Uncle Zhao 10,000 taels of silver." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Nangong Zhao poured tea for himself, didn't care about her words, and continued: "Yi'an, what are you busy with when I'm not in Kyoto?" ”

Zhu Yue was panicked by his question.

He took a sip of green tea with a hesitant expression, put down the cup, and said, "Uncle Zhao, Yi'an, I fight wits and courage in the mansion every day, and I have no leisure." After Zhu Yu finished speaking, he quietly glanced at Nangong Zhao again.

Nangong Zhao's expression remained unchanged, and he suddenly clapped his hands, and the surroundings of the private room lit up suddenly, and when he looked at it, the maid holding the colorful glass lamp rushed in.

Zhu Xuan was slightly stunned, looked at Nangong Zhao, and saw him staring at her indifferently.

After a while, the private room was surrounded by glass lamps. She couldn't speak for a long time, and Nangong Zhao looked at her and smiled faintly.

Her heart fluttered, and she couldn't tell whether she was nervous or excited.

"Do you like it?" Nangong Zhao asked.

Zhu Yue was slightly anxious: "Well, I like it." Where did Uncle Zhao conjure up so many lanterns? ”

Those lotus lanterns are exquisitely carved and made of exquisite materials, which are not comparable to the lamps in the market.

Nangong Zhao smiled: "Just a few gadgets, you can like it." ”

Zhu Yue's hand couldn't help shaking, and the teacup almost fell.

Why is Nangong Zhao so flattering her?

It won't be, pursuit, right?

Zhu Xuan's heart was drumming, and the corner of his eye passed, because the lotus lamps were around, and the room was much brighter, and the man opposite could even see the hair on his face clearly.

I saw that the civilian clothes on his body were not ordinary clothes, they were over-the-shoulder persimmon cloud dragon patterns, and the belt with a hook on the waist was tied with gold and jade gems, although it was not bright yellow, but it was only a little different from the emperor.

With Zhu Shuang in charge, Daqi will not be able to put on this kind of regulated clothes for the time being.

Nangong Zhao looked at Zhu Yu steadily, his expression was as usual, and said, "Are you curious about your uncle's clothes?" ”

Zhu Yue nodded, a little dazed.

Nangong Zhao put down the jade teacup and said with a smile: "Because of my military exploits, Zhu Shuang asked the emperor to give me nine gifts." ”

The Nine Gifts refer to the Nine Gifts in the Book of Rites: chariots and horses, clothes, Lexian, Zhuhu, Nama, bēn, axe, bow and arrow, and wine.

The person who added nine gifts was no different from the emperor.

But will the emperor agree?

Zhu Yue felt incomprehensible.

"Yi'an, isn't it strange why your imperial uncle wants to give me nine gifts?" Nangong Zhao looked at her expression, seemed to feel something, and smiled lightly.

The addition of nine gifts will make people suspect that there is a suspicion of usurpation, Zhu Shuang's move, Mingli seems to be rewarding, but in fact, it is too much, Nangong Zhao can't think of it.

"Uncle must not want such a reward in his heart, right?"

Nangong Zhao smiled: "What will happen to the master of high merit?" Zhu Shuang is forcing the Nangong family. He sighed meaningfully.

What does he mean, did Zhu Shuang force the Nangong family to make a move?

Zhu Yue was surprised.

Could it be that the palace change in the early spring of the first ten years was forced by Zhu Shuang step by step?

The Nangong family is not an ordinary eunuch, from the time of the establishment of the Great Qi, it has made great contributions, and the descendants of the Nangong Mansion are all very competitive This is the favor of God, Nangong Zhao said this, does it mean something?

If Zhu Shuang forced it, it stands to reason and reasonable. If it weren't for the first ten years, Nangong Shi would not have received the support of the Queen Mother.

The mother and son of the Queen Mother were forced by Zhu Shuang, and the Queen Mother had to be placed under house arrest in Yonghe Palace, and the emperor became Zhu Shuang's marionette.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.

The emperor probably wouldn't have thought that after the Nangong family, which had always been loyal, eliminated Zhu Shuang, the family would dominate and become the key person who threatened the throne.

Zhu Yue restrained his thoughts and drank tea carefully. "Uncle Huang is doing this, Uncle must have a good plan to dispel the emperor's doubts, right?"

Zhu Yue looked at him, only to see him look careless, with the thumb of the jade wrench gently touching the wall of the teacup, and said with a smile, "What good plan do I have?" It's just a military general, and I can't learn the sour words of the court, so I will take it as he rewards. ”

"Uncle Zhao, you're not going to wait to make the fish on the chopping board, are you?" Zhu Yue looked at him.

Nangong Zhao was noncommittal, and said: "It's just a trivial matter, even you can see the conspiracy of the imperial uncle, how could the emperor not know, what should I do, there is an auxiliary government of the imperial uncle in the court, I am happy to sit here and have a drink with you." ”

Nangong Zhao's words made her stunned.

Where is this like Nangong Zhao who is a wolf with ambition in the history books?

"Yi'an, I'm on a journey, have you ever worried about me?" Nangong Zhao suddenly changed the topic, "Maybe I will die on the battlefield one day, will you cry for your uncle?" ”

Zhu Yu was uneasy, lowered his head and said, "Yes." Uncle Zhao is Yi'an's lifesaver. ”

At this time, she just wanted to escape from the house and avoid Nangong Zhao's burning gaze, and her intuition told her that Nangong Zhao's words were meaningful.

Talking too much will make her even more at a loss.

Nangong Zhao smiled: "Life-saving benefactor? Also, you were only seven years old at that time, and you were still a little bit when you first saw you, and you were big as soon as you flowered, about the same age as Yan'er. ”

suddenly mentioned Nangong Yan's kid, Zhu Xuan swallowed his saliva, that Nangong Yan with a mole on the tiger's mouth, is really better than blue, scheming, and there are so many words that he can live and die.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside the elegant room, and when Nangong Zhao frowned, a little Taoist boy pushed the door and came in: "Lord, the Marquis of Changling is passing by here and wants to come in to visit you." ”

Zhu Xuan was stunned, Marquis Changling, is it the young master Xia Linxuan who has just attacked the lord?

If you are a relative, Xia Linxuan is her cousin.

The grandmother of the Marquis of Xiaochangling, the sister of the same mother as the old lady Du.

The roots are deep.

However, the Marquis of Xiaochangling lost the battle in the battle of Luogu, which is in stark contrast to the battle of Nangong Zhao's conquest of Shu, and occasionally someone will turn up the incident of Chen Sesame and rotten grain two or three years ago.

Changling was about to come to see him, Nangong Zhao frowned slightly. What is he here for?

Although the relationship between the two families is sensitive, Nangong Shi does not welcome him, but Nangong Zhao still has a little thin face for the former sister-in-law's brother, so he said lightly: "Call him in." ”

"Shall I avoid it?" Zhu Yu said.

"It's all family, no need, just sit next to it and listen quietly."

Nangong Zhaozheng said that there were bursts of vigorous footsteps at the door, Xia Linxuan walked in, looked inside, and saw the woman next to him, he didn't know him at first, after all, there were too many children in his relatives' family, not to mention that Zhu Xuan had been recuperating in Beiling Courtyard in a confused mind before, and he had not shown his head.

Xia Linxuan was born burly and tall, a beautiful man with masculinity, a slight beard, a bronze complexion, and it can be seen that when he was young, he fought in the north and south, and after the wind and rain, he showed his current complexion. He was wearing a robe with golden tiger stripes and a gold and jade belt around his waist, and walked towards this side.

Nangong Zhao stood up and invited him to sit opposite, and then instructed Dao Tong to take the iron arhat.

Tie Luohan is Xia Linxuan's favorite tea.

Xia Linxuan saw that he was thoughtful and thoughtful, and said with a smile: "The general has returned triumphantly, and he is accompanied by a beautiful woman, how can he be without wine?" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Xuan's face turned red.

Nangong Zhao didn't look sloppy, shook his hand with a smile, and said: "You have wronged me, this is your niece, Yi'an, the seventh daughter of Prince Zhu Lin." ”

Zhu Yue stiffened his head and said, "My niece Yi'an has seen Master Hou. ”

Xia Linxuan was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful woman among his nieces, and when he mentioned Prince Pei, he remembered his aunt Mrs. Du, and the Yi'an in front of him reminded him of the beauty of the old lady that day.

Although the old lady Du is already a beauty, she didn't expect her granddaughter to be as beautiful as a fairy, which is better than the old lady's demeanor that day.

"It turns out that you are Yi'an who was rescued by General Zhao that day." Xia Linxuan nodded in a conscious sense.

After sitting down, Nangong Zhao asked him why he came, Xia Linxuan said: "I heard at home today that you won the battle, and I never had the opportunity to come to congratulate, I didn't expect to meet you here, so I came here to congratulate the general on his triumphant return." ”

"You're welcome, this time it's luck." Nangong Zhao said, "I haven't seen you these days, it's been almost four years since the last incident, and it should have been turned a long time ago, you won't still worry about other people's disgust, right?" ”

Almost four years?

Could it be that you are referring to the Battle of Luogu!

When people ridiculed him in that battle, Xia Linxuan's psychological pressure can be imagined.

Hearing that Nangong Zhao suddenly broke it, Xia Linxuan's face was embarrassed, and he couldn't hide his emotions.

When Zhu Xuan saw it, he thought to himself, how could there be such an honest beautiful man?

Seeing his reaction, it was even worse than when he was timid, Zhu Yu Nahan.

Xia Linxuan will be a brave and good general on the battlefield, she doesn't believe it anymore.

Such a simple beautiful man, can lead soldiers to fight? ”

"Zizhan, that battle is clearly someone deliberately trapped you in an unrighteous place, and the failure has nothing to do with you, you must not fall for other people's tricks and stupidly hand over the military power." Nangong Zhaodao.

Zizhan should be Xia Linxuan's word.

I remember that Nangong Zhao's character is Ziliang, and Nangong Shi is Zishang, both with the word "Zi", which shows how good their relationship was in the past.

And now it has not deteriorated to the point of being very serious, at least on the bright side, Nangong Shi did not show anything inappropriate, which would make this simple beautiful man Xia Linxuan perceive his details.

The redness on Xia Linxuan's face did not dissipate for a long time, as if he was drunk, Zhu Xuan unconsciously lowered his head, worried that Xia Linxuan, who was thin-skinned, would be uncomfortable.

After all, Xia Linxuan is Zhu Xuan's elder.

Xia Linxuan sighed heavily, took a sip of Dao Tong's brewed iron arhat, and said: "I understand Brother Ziliang's kindness, no matter what, I have to bear the main responsibility for the defeat that time." This time you won the battle, but I felt relieved and the burden on my body was lightened. Actually, you won this battle, and I want to thank you. No one remembers four years ago anymore. Our great Qi has opened up its territory and expanded its territory, which is all the credit of Brother Ziliang. Little brother toasts you. ”

Xia Linxuan's attitude was modest, without a trace of jealousy or disdain, he seemed to be really grateful from the bottom of his heart for Nangong Zhao's victory in the battle of Shu.

Nangong Zhao picked up the cup and drank a glass with him.

After Xia Linxuan finished drinking, he said again: "How is my sister-in-law lately?" ”

"She's fine." Nangong Zhao replied a little uncomfortably, "Yan'er has already started to train in the army. I'm going to put him under you, I wonder if Zizhan can take him with me? ”

"He's only fifteen years old and less than a weak crown, can Brother Ziliang put his mind at ease?" Xia Linxuan was stunned for a moment,

Nangong Zhao smiled: "What's not to worry about, I remember that when we were young, we almost honed it at this age." ”

"That's the same, when will Yan'er come over? You just say it. Xia Linxuan said very simply.

Zhu Xuan, who was listening to the conversation between the two of them on the side, secretly sweated for Xia Linxuan,

This Xia Linxuan is really simple enough.

According to the history books, in the end, Xia Linxuan was killed by Nangong Shi, and before killing him, Nangong Zhao also interceded for him, which shows that there is still a relationship between them.

After all, Xia Linxuan is the uncle of Nangong Shi's child.

The Nangong family not only guarded the Zhu family, but also wanted to inquire about the secrets of the Zhu family, Xia Linxuan and Zhu Shuang got close again, Nangong Zhao intended to let Nangong Yan go deep into Xia Linxuan's army, the motive was not pure, Xia Linxuan didn't expect it.

Xia Linxuan replied very simply, and Nangong Zhao smiled faintly: "I will let Yan'er visit you tomorrow." ”

"Yes, Yan'er, I'll arrange it properly."

"I hope he can really experience it, so I want to put him under your command, Zizhan, you must make him suffer more, don't make him accustomed to the virtue of a young master."

"Don't worry." Xia Linxuan didn't want to respond.

Zhu Yue felt that he was a little sad and lamentable.

Xia Linxuan looks tall and brave, and he is a talent, but he can't attack scheming, no wonder he was later evaluated by Nangong Shi: It's useless to be handsome, you have to rely on your brains.

Nangong Zhao smiled lightly and toasted him.

At this time, Zhu Yu suddenly felt that this was an excuse, he could leave here first, so as to avoid Nangong Zhao, and hurriedly got up and said: "Uncle Zhao, you guys talk here first, I want to go out to find my maid to visit the Huideng Market." ”

Nangong Zhao frowned slightly and said, "I'll ask two people to accompany you." ”

As if receiving a pardon, Zhu Yue slipped out with a thousand thanks, and walked to the door of the restaurant, where she breathed a sigh of relief.

Nangong Zhao's two little Taoist boys followed her.

They walked in the direction of the square, and when they approached the square, Lang Yue beckoned and smiled: "Girl, we are here." ”

Suddenly hearing Lang Yue's call, Zhu Yue's face was slightly red, and she didn't know if they had seen Nangong Zhao holding her hand.

She approached and looked around, but didn't find Xiangshu and Chongbi, so she asked, "What about Chongbi and Xiangshu?" ”

"Watching acrobatics over there. Girl, the slave has been waiting for you. ”

When Xiao Daotong saw Lang Yue, one of them stepped forward and said, "The township lord of Yi'an will be handed over to you to protect, and the subordinates will now return to report to the lord." ”

"Okay, you guys go." Lang Yue said politely to the two little dao boys.

Seeing Dao Tong walking away, Zhu Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why is it so coincidental that you met Uncle Zhao here, did you arrange Lang Yue on purpose?" ”

"Girl, it's all a coincidence, how dare the slave." (To be continued.) )
