285, Master of the Divine Stick
"Master Nianyuan."
Under the corridor of the temple, a monk dressed in white looked up at the sky, his expression calm and compassionate, almost making people think that it was not a living person but a finely carved jade statue of the Buddha. Hearing the voice behind him, Nian Yuanfang turned his head to look at where the voice came from, and nodded slightly, "Lord of Star City." ”
Nangong Mo walked under the eaves and looked up with Nianyuan, but he could only see a small sky above the courtyard. The sky was spotless, and there were no clouds in sight.
"Does the county lord have something to ask the little monk?" Nian Yuan looked sideways at Nangong Mo and said with a smile.
Nangong Mo nodded, "Just now in the study, the master is trying to stop me from speaking?" ”
Master Nianyuan sighed: "It is said that the county lord is decisive in trouble, and there is no kindness of a woman. Now it seems that the county lord is still a little soft-hearted. The little monk heard that a few days ago, the county lord was going to raid the door, wouldn't what His Royal Highness King Yan did exactly what the county lord wanted? Why stop it? ”
Nangong Mo touched her nose, although she is not a good person, she has not yet reached the point where she is about to kill people casually, right? If this incident really caused the consequences of Yan zhòng, she might really do it. But it was not because she felt that it was right to do so, but to appease the anger of the officers and men in the army, and to give everyone an explanation. Benevolence is indeed a beautiful character that has been praised throughout the ages, but when something really happens, no matter which superior sees it, it is a weighing of pros and cons rather than benevolence and generosity. The so-called generosity is just because it is more beneficial to oneself. But this time, there is always room for a turnaround.
Nian Yuan shook his head and said, "County Lord, in addition to the anger of His Royal Highness King Yan, there is another reason why these people will die. But the county lord won't do it and won't think of it. ”
"Please ask the master for advice." Nangong Modao.
"Shock." Master Nianyuan said: "Or can it be said... Punish someone as a warning to others. At this time, although the wind and waves are calm on the surface, how can outsiders know the turbulent waves in the secret? However, the county lord always knows something in the game, right? Not everyone in this world is a loyal minister, and those who are secretly wavering, if they don't give them a lesson from the past, how can they know... There is a price to pay for betrayal? ”
Nangong Mo was stunned, and only after a long time did he shake his head and smile bitterly, "I really didn't expect this." "It's not that I didn't think about it, but I didn't think about it at all. Although I have lived in this world for seven or eight years, I have not been able to completely change my thinking. In the previous life, even if it was a gangster, not many people would kill the whole family in order to warn the people below, right? Small troubles and kingly hegemony are always different. Not to mention that she is a killer who is used to being alone, and she is already talented and intelligent to be able to deal with these things clearly now, where can she speculate on the thoughts of a hegemon?
Nian Yuan smiled and comforted: "The county lord doesn't have to care too much, even if you just spoke, His Royal Highness King Yan won't be angry." ”
Nangong Mo nodded, if she persuaded King Yan, she would indeed not be angry, but she would not listen to her. But if Xiao Qianchi dared to persuade him, King Yan would definitely be furious. This is the difference, no matter how good Nangong Mo is, King Yan still hopes that his nephew and daughter-in-law can be soft-hearted, so this is not her shortcoming. But as a son, being soft-hearted is a big shortcoming in the eyes of King Yan.
Nangong Mo sighed and said, "Thank you for your advice." ”
Nian Yuan shook his head and said nothing.
Nangong Mo looked at the white-clothed monk in front of him, he was still spotless, as if he was out of the world, but what Nian Yuan said didn't look like what a monk should say at all, which made people feel a little chill in their hearts. If Nian Yuan and Xian Ge stood together, more than ninety percent of people would think that Nian Yuan was like a good person than Xian Ge, but Nangong Mo felt that the handsome white-clothed monk in front of her was colder than her senior brother in the game world.
Nian Yuan seemed to notice Nangong Mo's gaze, and he didn't argue for himself, but just smiled: "The county lord is thinking that the little monk is not like a monk again?" ”
Nangong Mo was a little apologetic, Nian Yuan didn't care, "Although the little monk is a member of Buddhism, he doesn't seek the next life, let alone become a Buddha." The little monk has a little experience with the sky, the crape myrtle is dark, the glow is confused into the South Dipper, the army is broken and the seven kills are empty, and the main world has changed greatly. His Royal Highness King Yan is eloquent and strategic, and has ......"
"Ahem." Nangong Mo interrupted him with two light coughs.
I don't understand the stars, but I understand you strangely. The meaning of Master Nianyuan translates as: I watched the sky at night and found that Xiao Qianye was no longer good, and the world was about to be chaotic. Looking at the image of King Yan as a master, he decided to come out to assist him personally.
However, Master Nianyuan said this, but she didn't think it sounded good. Anyway, Master Nianyuan, you are a high-ranking disciple of Buddhism, is it really good to instigate the feudal king to rebel? How much enmity does Xiao Qianye have with you?
was interrupted by Nangong Mo, and Nianyuan was not angry. Still calmly looked at Nangong Mo with a smile. It's as if he's just talking about something very mundane.
"Master Nianyuan, can you tell Uncle Yan Wang?" Nangong Mo asked.
Nian Yuan smiled lightly, "His Royal Highness King Yan is dedicated to the country and has done his best, where can I listen to the words of the little monk?" ”
Hehe, why don't I believe it so much.
Nangong Mo smiled, "In that case, the county lord should have never heard what the master said." The master is good for himself. Leave. ”
Nian Yuan sighed helplessly, "The destiny of heaven is like this, why should the county lord be so indifferent?" ”
Not at all, I can see it very openly. It's just that I didn't plan to use the magic stick as a gunman.
King Yan is not there, and when facing the prince, the officials and magnates of all sizes in Youzhou City can toss as much as they want. But after King Yan came back, all the wind directions changed instantly, and the original words that criticized the prince immediately disappeared from everyone. King Yan said that he wanted to kill people, and he would definitely not scare people, and he would definitely not leave one more alive if he said that he would kill all over the house. But after half a day's effort, on a school field in the northern suburbs outside Youzhou City, hundreds of heads fell to the ground. Smelling the strong suffocating smell of blood, he looked at His Royal Highness King Yan
Taste, looking at His Royal Highness King Yan's indifferent expression and the appearance of the wind blowing on all sides, everyone couldn't help but feel a little bit in their hearts.
Although His Royal Highness King Yan has been a little entangled in women's sex recently, his temperament has not changed at all. Let's be honest if you want to live.
Because King Yan wanted to kill people, Nangong Mo stayed in Lingquan Temple for a few days before returning slowly. Anyway, there is King Yan in charge of King Yan's mansion, and she has nothing to do. She's pregnant now! By the time Nangong Mo returned to Youzhou City with the people, the former tranquility had been restored in Youzhou City. It's just that there are a lot of familiar faces missing. The political envoy of Youzhou, who had always been a little eager to try, was also completely honest.
Thousands of miles away in the Imperial City of Jinling
Xiao Qianye's face turned pale as he looked at the secret fold sent by the fast horse in his hand, and finally couldn't help but raise his hand and sweep all the things on the table to the ground. The palace people who were waiting in the imperial study were startled, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and touched the ground with their foreheads, not daring to peep at the angry dragon face of the Son of Heaven.
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhou and Lord Han ask to meet." At the door, the inner supervisor said tremblingly.
Xiao Qianye took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Xuan." ”
It has been less than a year since he ascended the throne, but Xiao Qianye deeply understands that it is not easy to sit in this position. This year, he did not covet pleasure, but dreamed of sleeping at night, working diligently every day. Even the whole person is a little more tired and emaciated than when he did not ascend the throne. However, progress in politics has not been satisfactory. barely reached a balance with the powerful people of Jinling, but what made Xiao Qianye even more worried were his uncles who had heavy troops. Especially...... Looking at the dense fold on the ground, Xiao Qianye secretly gritted his teeth.
"The old minister knocks to see His Majesty!" Zhou Xiang and Han Min came together. glanced at the mess in front of him, and was silent.
Xiao Qianye hurriedly said: "The two gentlemen are quickly flattened." ”
"Thank you." Among the two, Han Min was more straightforward and quick-witted, and asked, "Why is Your Majesty so angry?" ”
Xiao Qianye snorted coldly and said, "The secret fold on the political envoy of Youzhou, the two gentlemen will take a look."
The two glanced at each other, Zhou Xiang leaned over and picked up the fold on the ground, read it, and then handed it to Han Min. Xiao Qianye waited patiently for the two of them to finish reading before asking, "What do the two gentlemen think?" Han Min said loudly: "King Yan is so bold that he dares to intercept the tax money of the imperial court, which is really contempt for the throne. Please make a decree to apply. ”
Xiao Qianye smiled bitterly, is Shen Yu useful?
"Why is it Uncle Yanwang? In the past few months, there have been many excerpts. King Kang committed murder, King Jin whipped officials, King Lu privately cast official silver ......" The more he talked, the more angry he became, Xiao Qianchi was almost trembling with anger, "Pile by pile... Which of these imperial uncles has taken me as the emperor in his eyes?! ”
Han Min and Zhou Xiang were silent, many of these princes had been on the battlefield, and the younger ones had also been stationed in the fiefdom for many years and had heavy troops, who could really put the nephews just now in their eyes? And the majesty xià...... The two looked at each other, as if they had made up their minds, and said in unison: "Your Majesty, please give an order to cut the domain." ”
There was silence in the imperial study, and Xiao Qianye sat on the throne in silence. In the study, it seems that even the sound of a needle hitting the ground can be heard clearly.
After a long time, I heard Xiao Qianye sigh and say: "The emperor's grandfather said in his early years, the Son of Heaven is in charge of the country, and the prince guards the border. Now I'm ......"
"陛xià." Zhou Xiang arched his hand and persuaded: "The vassal king is arrogant and rude, and despises the emperor's authority. If it is allowed to become bigger, I am afraid that the country will not be a country, so it is better to cut the feudal domain as soon as possible, so as not to meet the royal flesh and blood in the future and laugh at the world. Xiao Qianzhi lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhou is reasonable, I don't know what the two gentlemen have?" ”
Zhou Xiang said: "I only see that the vassal kings of all walks of life are the strongest in Yanwang, and this interception of tax silver is a good excuse." As long as you take down King Yan, are afraid that the vassal kings of all walks of life will dare to act rashly? ”
Xiao Qianye frowned and hesitated: "Uncle Yan Wang has hundreds of thousands of iron horses, outstanding strategy, and capable people under his command. I'm afraid it's ......" For King Yan, the imperial uncle who has always been close to the prince, Xiao Qianye is still a little afraid in his heart.
Zhou Xiang waved his sleeves and said: "Now that the border pass is fighting with the Northern Yuan, His Majesty sent troops to Youzhou on the grounds of sending troops to support, and General Xie should cooperate with the outside world, as long as General Xie sends troops to attack the rear wing of Youzhou Guard, we will take the opportunity to send troops to attack before and after, and we are not afraid that we will not be able to take the King of Yan." ”
"No." Hearing this, Han Min frowned.
Xiao Qianye asked, "What is Mr. Han's opinion?" ”
Han Min said: "Youzhou Weizheng is entangled with the Northern Yuan, if His Majesty raids King Yan at this time, it will be a success, how do the people of the world think of His Majesty?" The prince who is seriously ill is not the only one who is in the hands of King Yan, and at that time, the vassal kings of various places will raise troops together on the grounds of His Majesty's injustice and calculating the emperor's uncle, how should they deal with it? ”
What Han Min said was exactly what Xiao Qianchi was worried about, he was not the emperor's grandfather after all, and he didn't have the courage to kill all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and didn't care what the people in the world said.
"What does Mr. Han mean?"
Han Min said: "In the opinion of the old ministers, we should start with King Qi, King Jin, King Lu and others. These people did not have many soldiers and horses in their hands, and they were much closer to Jinling than Youzhou. Moreover, many of them have committed lawlessness, and there are many reasons why His Majesty wants to cut off their titles. On the contrary, it is His Royal Highness King Yan... His Royal Highness King Yan is well-known in the Northland, and His Majesty wants to cut the domain, and he is not under the command of King Yan, but I am afraid that the people of the Northland also have a whisper in their hearts. ”
Xiao Qianye lowered her eyebrows and thought. Zhou Xiang categorically objected: "Brother Han's words are wrong. If he cuts King Jin and King Lu and others first, once he alarms King Yan, he will be prepared......"
Han Min shook his head and said: "The war in Northern Xinjiang can't stop in March or April, as long as we move quickly, we can take down these princes before King Yan frees up his hands." ”
Zhou Xiang still didn't agree with Han Min's point of view, and the two of them were about to quarrel when they insisted on their own words. Xiao Qianchi rubbed his eyebrows with a headache and said, "The two gentlemen should write their own charters, this matter is not something that can be decided in a day or two." ”
The emperor spoke, and the two naturally couldn't really quarrel anymore, so they had to give it up.
It should be. Xiao Qianchi sighed, waved his hand, and said, "There are two gentlemen, you should step back first." ”
"The old minister retired."
In the blink of an eye, it was already mid-October, and Nangong Mo in the Qingmo Garden was draped in a thick fox fur cloak early. The room has been dyed with the best silver charcoal, and the cold wind outside the window is bleak, but the room is still as warm as spring.
Nangong Mo and Princess Changping sat in the room and sat in the female red. Princess Changping was sitting in her hand with a small big red baby swaddling cloth. The child will be born about April next year, and the swaddling clothes and small clothes made by Princess Changping are also relatively thin and soft. From time to time, I looked up at Nangong Mo, who was embroidering the child's small clothes, and persuaded her to rest more so as not to hurt her eyes. Pregnant people do too much female red, which is not good for the eyes.
Although Nangong Mo usually doesn't do this, but in the end, the person who plays with needles, one-handed embroidery is still very amazing.
In a good mood, he unfolded the image of the unicorn that he had embroidered most of the time, and said with a light smile: "I haven't done it for a long time, and some hands are raw." ”
Princess Changping smiled: "You are very busy in the past few days, just let the people below do these things, do they dare not do it?" If it doesn't work, this grandmother is also idle. Seeing that she is about to hug her grandson, Princess Changping is in a good mood every day.
Nangong Mo smiled: "I also do it when I have time, and now they don't let me go out, what else can I do if I don't become a female celebrity?" In order to let her cultivate well, Qu Lianxing, Liu Hanzhishu and others took care of everything inside and outside the house, and King Yan was determined to temper Xiao Qianchi, and Xiao Qianchi was not allowed to come to her for help, she was extremely leisurely these days.
Princess Changping looked at her abdomen, although she couldn't see anything yet, but she was almost four months pregnant. sighed: "I don't know when Jun'er will come back, but don't wait until the child lands before coming back, and grandchildren won't recognize him." ”
Nangong Mo smiled: "Mother don't worry, they should come back in two months." "After fighting for a few months every year, they may not be able to stand the Beiyuan people.
Princess Changping shook her head, "This palace doesn't care about him, it just wronged you and the child." "Flawless is pregnant, but my son hasn't seen it from beginning to end. But there is no way to do it, when she was pregnant with a child, she didn't see anyone for a few months.
"Princess Qiyu, county lord. The steward of the Yanwang Mansion asked to see him. Outside the door, a girl hurriedly came to say.
Princess Changping was a little strange, raised her eyebrows and said, "Yan Wangfu? What are the people from Yanwangfu doing at this time? "Today's weather is not very good, the cold wind is howling outside, and the cold wind is blowing and making people's cheeks hurt.
The girl shook her head to indicate that she didn't know, and Princess Changping nodded, "Let him in." ”
Soon, the steward of the Yan Palace's mansion walked in, hurriedly saluted Princess Changping and Nangong Mo, and said, "Princess Qiyu, the prince invites the county lord to come to the mansion." ”
"What?! No way! Princess Changping frowned, and said in a deep voice: "What should I do if the weather is so cold and flawless?" The third brother was sick or not in the house before, but now there is something that the third brother can't solve by himself? "Is the daughter-in-law of this palace specially in charge of the Yan Palace? Princess Changping was very dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law because her third brother always commanded her. The pregnant woman is also embarrassed to instruct, is the third brother's subordinates useless?
The steward said in embarrassment: "The princess forgives her sins, it is really an urgent call from the prince, but I am afraid that there is an emergency." The prince also knew that the county lord was inconvenient now, and the special order brought the sedan chair in the mansion, and there was a fire in the sedan chair, and it would never freeze the county lord. ”
Princess Changping couldn't help but roll her eyes, didn't she have a sedan chair in her house?
The steward was unmoved, so she had to look at Nangong Mo pleadingly. Nangong Mo asked, "Steward, do you know what your uncle is doing?" ”
The steward smiled bitterly, "The little one is just an errand runner, how can I know this." The lord forgives the sins. ”
Nangong Mo lowered her head and thought about it, but she didn't find that there was anything that King Yan needed to let her over recently. Is it a border matter? Even if the border is really urgent, she can't help now. After thinking about it, Nangong Mo still said, "Mother, I'll go over and take a look." Maybe something is wrong with my uncle. ”
Princess Changping snorted lightly and said, "It's because you're so good at talking that you let him pile everything on you, what should you do if you're tired?" ”
The steward hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't worry, princess, doesn't the son of the county lord also want to call the prince uncle?" How could the prince not know that he felt sorry for his juniors? I definitely didn't dare to let the county lord be tired. ”
Nangong Mowan'er said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, I'll go back when I go." ”
Princess Changping had no choice but to order someone to add clothes to Nangong Mo, and carefully inspected her before letting her go out.
Nangong Mo couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth: Although the senior brother said that she should not use her internal force now, her ability to resist the cold is still much better than that of ordinary women. Wear so much... It's really hot.
