359. Powerful people's hearts

"Father, daughter-in-law, ......" Zhu Chuyu gritted his teeth, secretly hating in his heart. If she went back, she would really be able to grasp the rights in King Yan's mansion, but she knew that she would be idle by Princess Yan when she went back. Princess Yan won't use her at all, "Father Mingjian, my husband has been working hard day and night these days, and my daughter-in-law wants to stay and take care of my husband." ”

King Yan said coldly: "He is here to fight, not to go outing." ”

"But ......"

"Enough!" King Yan's eyes were calm, "This king is not discussing with you. Don't quit yet! ”

In Youzhou, King Yan's words are not holy decrees, but they are better than holy decrees. What he said, no one could disobey, and no one could refute it. Zhu Chuyu lowered his eyes, tightly held the hand hidden in his sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Yes, father." ”

was so ruthlessly cut by his father, Xiao Qianwei's face was not good-looking. He said in a low voice: "Father, the son has also retired." ”

After speaking, he picked up Zhu Chuyu and walked towards the outside of the big tent. As soon as he walked to the door, he heard King Yan's voice coming from behind, "Qianwei, my father didn't know that you care so much about your concubine and younger siblings." ”

Xiao Qianwei's heart tightened, and a sense of remorse couldn't help but rise in his heart. It turned out that he was wrong from the start. The relationship between the palace concubine and the mother concubine was not good, and Zhu Chuyu was beaten because of the palace concubine. Now that such a thing has happened, the three brothers of the mother and concubine are indifferent, but he still mentions it again and again when he knows that his father intends to suppress the matter. It's just a matter of mentioning it, or it's a reason to make the palace concubine feel relieved and worry about the unborn child. Between the sister-in-law and the concubine, it is appropriate to express concern, but after that, it will be fake.

They thought they were doing a good job of covering up their reasons, but they didn't know that their father knew their true purpose from the beginning.

It's just that... This time, Xiao Qianwei really didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. There was a faint anger in his heart, a sense of anger and grievance. Isn't it really my cousin's doing? Not necessarily. If not, why did the father suppress the matter? Could it be that the concubine on the side of the palace is not the concubine of her father, and the child in her belly is not the child of her father? Even for the sake of face, the father would not indulge the poisoner so much.

But my father pressed it down so strongly... Zhu Chuyu is right, his father is good to his cousin... It's too much.

In the big tent, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Xiao Qianwei looked at King Yan with a gloomy face on the seat, and was a little at a loss for a while. Although he has a rough temperament, he also faintly feels that this time, the second brother is targeting his cousin. But... Why? Even if it's really my cousin, what is it doing? The palace concubine is just a woman who was brought back by her father who doesn't know where to go, and whether she really did anything to her was just to scare and scare her. When did the second brother care so much about this kind of woman?

Nian Yuan sighed and said softly: "The second prince just thought about it for a while, and the prince was angry. ”

King Yan was not very angry, waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's nothing, let the master laugh." ”

"Where." Nian Yuan said: "The prince has so much trust in Wei Gongzi, don't say that it is the second son, even the little monk admires it very much." It's just that the second son is still young, so the prince still doesn't take it to heart. ”

King Yan smiled and disagreed, "The master is right, don't care about these trivial matters for now, this king still has some political affairs to ask the master." ”

King Yan took out a letter and handed it to Nianyuan, Nianyuan respectfully took it, and the two began to discuss military affairs back and forth, as if the solemnity and anger in the big tent had never existed. Only Xiao Sangongzi sat alone and bored, holding up the discussion that made him want to doze off.

sent Nianyuan away, and drove out Xiao Qianjiong, who was almost asleep in the chair, and the peace in the big tent was restored. As for the string song boy, he had already drifted away early, and he was envious of Xiao Sangongzi.

A man who looked like a guard walked into the tent and said respectfully, "Lord Wang." ”

King Yan snorted coldly and said, "How is Zhu Chuyu's side?" ”

The guard said respectfully: "Back to the prince, the second son and the second young lady have already packed up their salutes and sent the second young lady out." ”

King Yan leaned back in his chair and tapped the table casually, while saying, "I received the news so quickly, so to speak... Zhu Chuyu really has a connection with the person surnamed Gong. ”

The guard nodded, "Not only that... The second young lady is afraid that she will also have contact with Jinling. The second son, isn't it ......?"

King Yan shook his head, "Don't worry about it for the time being, this king also wants to see... What he wanted to do. "If he was really swayed by a woman, King Yan had to say that he would be very disappointed in this son. As for Xiao Qianwei thinking that he was too good to Wei Junmo, he felt injustice in his heart? King Yan scoffed, where is the fairness in this world? When these brothers were thrown into the fiefdom at the age of fifteen or sixteen, how could the emperor have ever been fair to these princes? If his trust and value for Jun'er were really transferred to one of their brothers, he would feel even more unfair, right? As long as the person who is valued and trusted is not himself.

King Yan is a little troubled, the eldest of the three sons is indecisive, the third child has no city government, Xiao Qianwei in the middle does not have the shortcomings of the two brothers, a little but not very prominent, the most important thing is that the heart and ambition make King Yan very unoptimistic. It's not that you can't be ambitious, but those who don't have ambition in the royal family are the ones who fail. But Xiao Qianwei obviously prefers conspiracy to Yangmou, but the most important thing is that his vision is too small and he has no overall view. Even forbearance and Taoguang are half-hearted. Some things are either not done, and making it half-baked is more uncomfortable than not doing it.

Could it be that the way he teaches his children is wrong? But Jun'er has no one to teach you since she was a child?

Rarely, King Yan began to feel a little troubled for his sons.

"Lord Wang?" The guard taught with some hesitation, a little surprised by the rare fact that the prince was in a daze or in contemplation.

King Yan looked calm, and said indifferently: "Send a copy of the matter here to Jun'er, tell him to stop making a big fuss, Gong Xiaodie is still useful." ”

"Yes, lord." The guard replied respectfully, quickly throwing aside the slightest bit of disrespectful conjecture from Fang Cai.

King Yan casually tapped on the table and continued, "Xiao Qianye... This nephew of this king is really... Since he is not willing to compete with this king on the battlefield, then... Pass the order down, activate the nails in the palace, the target, the child born to Concubine Zhu, right? Is it male or female? "Speaking of which, he still showed mercy to his subordinates, and did not intend to attack the queen's concubine directly. But even so, that is the only child Xiao Qianye can have in this life.

"Back to the prince, he is a prince." At the beginning, Concubine Zhu was not injured, and a few months later, she gave birth to Xiao Qianye's second prince safely.

King Yan nodded, "He's lucky." Send him a message, since he reached out to the child first, don't blame the king for a tooth for a tooth. ”

"Lord Wang, is it to leave a secret message or a bright hair?"

"Isn't this king on the side of the Qing monarch? Just take the last excerpt. ”

"......" is it really okay to be on the fold when they are all fighting? And most importantly, is it really okay to take this kind of excerpt?

In the Chenzhou Mansion, Nangong Mo leaned on the soft couch and looked at the letter he had just received. On the other side of the wide soft couch, two white and tender babies are sitting together babbling and playing. Mingqin was carefully guarding next to him, and Nangong Mo didn't care about them, looking at the letter in his hand, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Behind the bookcase not far away, Wei Gongzi, who was writing a book, raised his head and raised his eyebrows: "What makes Flawless so happy?" ”

Nangong Mo raised the letterhead in his hand and said with a smile: "I just received the news from Zi Yan, I heard that the second prince of Concubine Zhu in the palace suddenly fell ill, and he was still ill. Early the next morning, Xiao Qianye received an excerpt from Uncle Yan Wang, saying that the emperor could do something to babies under the age of one, and it was retribution. The fold was read out in front of the courtiers, and I heard that Xiao Qianye was so angry that he almost vomited blood. "No one knows how King Yan let such an excerpt appear in the court. Not all excerpts have a chance to appear in front of people, and even some excerpts will not be kept by the officials responsible for selection below if they cannot even be in front of the emperor. Such an excerpt can still be read out at the court meeting, this time King Yan must have paid a lot of price in order to respond to Xiao Qianye.

Seeing Wei Junmo's unsurprised appearance, Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and said, "You also intervened?" ”

Wei Gongzi said calmly: "I said, if you want to give Xiao Qianye a big gift, you can't break your word and get fat." ”

"I thought you were talking about Xinling." A few days earlier, Tainingwei had already captured Xinling. At this point, the north and south of the Li River, from Yuezhou in the west, to Xinling in the east are under their control. Counting the time, it took less than five months before and after. Wei Junmo said: "Xinling was originally in the plan. ”

Nangong Mo shrugged and said, "Okay, we don't have to fight anymore for the time being, Uncle and their side are only afraid that the pressure will be greater." "But there is really no way for them to fight anymore, Tainingwei is about to withdraw, no matter how hard they try, it is impossible for them to train hundreds of thousands of troops comparable to Tainingwei in this month or two. So, now all they have to do is take this place and recuperate.

"Will my uncle recruit you back?" Nangong Mo asked, it's okay on their side, but there are still many things like that in the north. King Yan is indeed very likely to recruit Wei Junmo to go back and lead the troops. Wei Junmo shook his head and said, "Chenzhou can't get out, don't worry about that side." I won't go back, and neither can you. ”

Nangong Mowaner smiled, "Naturally I can't, I just picked up An An and Xiao Yao, how could I run back to You... What's wrong? Nangong Mo had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and hurriedly asked. If King Yan made a move, Wei Junmo would not be able to refuse so categorically, unless something happened.

Wei Junmo frowned, raised his hand and handed over a fold on his right hand.

Nangong Mo stretched out his hand to take a look, and couldn't help frowning, "Is this what Qian Wei means, or what Zhu Chuyu means?" ”

Wei Junmo was silent, Nangong Mo sighed, Xiao Qianwei is not a person with soft ears and easy to be agitated. Zhu Chuyu can only prove that Zhu Chuyu said what is in his heart, and he just said it through Zhu Chuyu's mouth. Sighing a little helplessly, Nangong Mo said: "At the beginning, I was worried that Qianchi and their brothers would one day be brothers, who knows... But the fire first burned on us. "With the character and state of the three brothers of the Xiao family, it is only a matter of time before something goes wrong. But before their own brothers made trouble, they were targeted first. Is this also a lie down and shot?

Wei Junmo shook his head, "No matter who is in this position, it's the same." "Although his uncle's attention to him is one part, it is definitely not the main reason. No matter who is in his current position today, as long as Xiao Qianwei still has such thoughts, he will be in trouble. Even, it may be because he is the person in this position that Xiao Qianwei has restrained a lot. If it is another general, Xiao Qianwei only needs to tell his uncle that he wants to come over to help or study, it is a fair and honest reason. When they got here, how many generals had the ability to completely suppress the second son of King Yan?

Nangong Mo sighed and said, "Okay, Hengzhu, let's stay away from Youzhou now." There are still many things in Chenzhou that have not been last night, where is there time to take care of things thousands of miles away. ”

Wei Gongzi smiled indifferently, got up and walked to the edge of the soft couch and sat down, picked up a baby in one hand and put it in his arms, and said, "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”

The young man who was having fun with his brother was suddenly interrupted by his father, and he immediately became unhappy.

"Babble." Stretch out your little hand and pat Daddy's big hand. Wei Gongzi looked down at the little girl, raised his hand to touch her little face, the little girl was teething, and when she saw the big hand on her face, she lowered her head... Bite!

Wei Gongzi raised his eyebrows, the little child had just grown four small baby teeth, where could he bite Wei Gongzi. If it weren't for Wei Junmo's fear of hurting the little girl, it would not be possible to break his two teeth in this mouthful. calmly withdrew his hand, took the handkerchief handed by Mingqin next to him and wiped it. The little girl looked at her father blankly, and was about to cry when she pouted.

An An next to her saw that her sister was about to cry, so she immediately crawled over. Stretched out a chubby little hand to pat his sister's arm, and the young man who wanted to cry was immediately attracted by his brother, and the two little guys sat together and played the game of you shoot me and I shoot you, and finally rolled into a ball.

Looking at the brother and sister rolling in a ball, Nangong Mo couldn't help but hide his lips and laugh.

"Happy?" Wei Junmo lowered his head and looked at Nangong Mo who was smiling happily. Nangong Mo smiled: "Naturally happy, watching An An and Xiao Xiao grow up day by day, I feel... There's nothing in this world that makes me unhappy. Wei Junmo raised his hand and pulled her into his arms, and said softly: "We will always be so happy, and An An and An An will grow up safely." ”

"yes, I know." She never doubted.

The clever conductor of the Ming Qin who was waiting next to her took the two babies away to feed, and she also retreated silently with Fu Fu, leaving the room for the county lord and the son to be alone. Speaking of which, they have been married for two or three years, and even the two little masters are several months old, but the relationship between the county lord and the son is still so good. The people around them are also envious when they see it.

There is no longer a war, but Tainingwei's borrowing period has not yet arrived. So the rest of the time began to train. Now that Wei Junmo has the territory of the six states on both sides of the Li River, Nangong Mo has been recruiting troops, and there are defeated soldiers captured on the battlefield. After integration, there are two or three hundred thousand regular soldiers and horses. and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses that Nangong Mo called the reserve army and had only undergone some simple training and had been on the battlefield.

The soldiers of Tainingwei also kept their promises and began to help them train after coming down from the battlefield. It's hard to say how much you can learn in just one or two months. But it is better to have these people to train than no one, and there are many generals in Youzhou who can match them, but now that the war in the north is raging, no one can spare time to train troops.

In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of December, and the soldiers of Tainingwei also began to return to their hearts like arrows. However, before the day of their departure, there were already people who couldn't wait to visit Chenzhou first.

In the hall of Chenzhou Mansion, Nangong Mo sat beside Wei Junmo and looked at the man sitting in the guest seat with a lazy appearance, "His Royal Highness King Ning has made a special trip to Chenzhou, we are really full of glory." ”

His Royal Highness King Ning sighed lightly, glanced at the entire hall and nodded in agreement: "It is indeed Pengshu, I said that the two of you can take out your hands casually for a few million taels, do you need to pick the door like this?" Look at this hall, the faΓ§ade is so shabby, and the inside is even worse, right? ”

Nangong Mo secretly rolled his eyes in his heart, this Chenzhou Mansion was the official residence of the original Chenzhou Governor, with the corruption of Chenzhou officials, where can this mansion be shabby? After arriving in Chenzhou, they were busy with affairs, not to mention, raising troops to fight wars and people's livelihood everywhere asked for money, but because of the drought, the taxes could not be collected, who had time to repair the mansion. Of course, compared to Ning Wangfu, this Chenzhou Mansion is indeed nothing.

Nangong Mo smiled and said: "His Royal Highness King Ning said that he laughed, if a few million taels can be taken out casually, where will we worry about the people from all over Chenzhou for the winter?" ”

His Royal Highness King Ning snorted lightly and gave Nangong Mo an expression of "I'll listen to you". In the past six months, he has already found out. In addition to the two people who were initially given two million taels, the fourth brother settled the rest by themselves. You must know that in the past six months, hundreds of thousands of troops have been fed up, as well as relief for refugees, and Nangong Mo even began to repair the river and dig wells everywhere. The amount of money that needs to be spent is astronomical, and as for the taxes paid in various parts of Chenzhou in the past two years, it is a joke. What's more, as soon as Nangong Mo arrived in Yuezhou, he was exempted from all taxes in the disaster-stricken places this year.

So... His Royal Highness King Ning stared at the person in front of him with green eyes, he knew that these two guys were so rich, and he should have robbed these two people directly in Xizhou! His Royal Highness King Ning thought hatefully in his heart, while thinking about a question that he hadn't figured out for a long time: Where did these two guys get so much money?

T
