Chenzhou

Nangong Mo sat in the lobby of the Chenzhou Governor's Mansion, looking at the letter that King Yan had just sent in front of him, and his eyebrows frowned slightly. Along with King Yan's letter, there were dozens of civil officials who had been transferred from the yamen in various parts of Youzhou. Although most of them are deputies, it is also a great thing for them who are desperately short of people now. At least, compared to those who are promoted from the private sector, these people have experience and can get started directly. However, King Yan's letter also made it very clear that most of these people were there during the reign of the first emperor, so loyalty cannot be taken care of. How they use it depends on themselves.

In this regard, Nangong Mo was not very worried. On the contrary, it was another thing in the letter that made her more concerned. King Yan's letter also mentioned that after Xiao Qianjiong, Xiao Qianwei also led the troops to the battle. In addition, Zhu Chuyu also followed Xiao Qianwei.

It's not that Xiao Qianwei can't lead troops to fight, it's just that after they captured these places, Xiao Qianwei took the initiative to lead the troops to the battle, and he also took Zhu Chuyu with him. Nangong Mo had to cross the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, suspecting that Xiao Qianwei's sudden actions were related to what they were doing here now. However, thinking about Wei Junmo's identity, Nangong Mo secretly shook his head in his heart. These things are still a little too far away. Even if it really comes to that point, it is definitely not them who are the most important ones blocking Xiao Qianwei and Zhu Chuyu's way.

"County Lord?" Qin Zixu sat next to him, and when he saw Nangong Mo's somewhat uncontemplative appearance, he couldn't help but ask. Could it be that there is something important in King Yan's letter? Hearing this, Nangong Mo raised his head and looked at the crowd in the lobby and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, Nangong Mo was rude." You have come from afar, but it is a pity that my grandson is now leading the troops and cannot personally pick up the wind for you. ”

Everyone hurriedly said they didn't dare. Most of them in Youzhou are deputies of yamen in various places, such as Tongzhi, Tongju, County Cheng, etc., with large and small grades, but without exception, they are all deputies. Now that they have been sent here by King Yan, they naturally understand that the place where Wei Gongzi has just laid down a large area is the time to employ people, and it is very likely that they will go further and become the number one.

Nangong Mo said with a smile: "I'm not polite to you, the situation in Jinzhou is very bad now, although Yuezhou is slightly better, it still needs to continue to work hard." The lord of this county will report to the prince, and all the officials present here will be promoted to the next level. Your positions will be notified to you later, and I hope that you can be loyal to your duties and work with the people everywhere to tide over the difficulties in front of you. ”

"The ministers receive orders." Everyone said in unison.

Nangong Mo nodded and said, "Then the county lord will thank you on behalf of the prince and his grandson." In addition, the lord of this county has always liked to make things clear first, and I have heard many people say that thousands of miles of officials are only for money. If you want to reach out, you'd better think about whether you will be discovered by me, but don't blame the county lord for not teaching and punish you when the time comes! ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but shudder in their hearts. Even if I had some ideas in my heart for a short time, I was afraid that I wouldn't dare to come up again. On the way here, they naturally heard a lot of things, including the fate of corrupt officials in Yuezhou and other places. Why is there such a shortage of people in Yuezhou and other places? Is it true that there are so many officials who are loyal to the imperial court and die for their country? Naturally not, but the vast majority of them were dominated by the Lord of Star City.

Looking at the beautiful and vulgar woman in blue sitting in the lobby in front of her, her originally gentle and smiling eyebrows and eyes were a little more cold and murderous, which made people dare not despise her because she was a daughter. More well-informed people have long known about the great achievements of this county lord, and at this time, when they see a real person, they can only be more disciplined and dare not have the slightest disrespect.

After settling these new civil officials, Nangong Mo walked out of the lobby and walked to the backyard. Speaking of which, she still belongs to this Chenzhou Mansion, and this place can be regarded as an eventful place. At the beginning, Zhang Dingfang raised troops to occupy this place as a general's mansion, and later after the rebels were pacified, he reopened the government and built the mansion, and the new Chenzhou governor also renovated this mansion from the new. But I don't want to be more than two years later, and this mansion is occupied again.

Qin Zixu followed behind her and asked respectfully, "What is the county lord worried about?" ”

Nangong Mo looked back, raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you say?" ”

Qin Zixu said with a smile: "I see that the county lord looks a little wrong when he looks at His Royal Highness King Yan's letter, but what else did His Royal Highness King Yan say?" ”

Nangong Mo shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal, Qian Wei took the Shanjia County Lord to lead the troops to the battle." ”

Qin Zixu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Oh? To put it this way... Youzhou is going to have a pair of immortal couples like the county lord and Wei Gongzi who work together to advance and retreat? Nangong Mo smiled lightly, and Qin Zixu said: "The county lord is worried about Xiao Ergongzi'......" Nangong Mo waved his hand and said: "No, it's that I'm thinking too much." Qin Zixu touched his nose, thought for a moment and said, "It's not necessarily that the county lord is thinking too much." Speaking of... The prince's trust in Wei Gongzi really made Zai Xia couldn't help but marvel. Don't say anything else, I'm afraid... The father's trust in Zai Xia will not be more than that of the prince to Wei Gongzi. ”

Nangong Mo smiled: "Grand Prince Qin is too modest. If the head of the Qin family didn't trust Gongzi's ability, how could he let Gongzi leave Jinling alone? ”

Qin Zixu said with a smile: "The future head of the Qin family is not in the next place, the father is in his prime, if there is anything wrong with the Qin family, it can be severed from the next generation, and it is not difficult to cultivate a future family master." But if you bet on the right bet, the benefits to the future of the Qin family are also limitless. Therefore, my father's willingness to agree to leave Jinling alone was not because he had complete trust in Zaixia, but because no matter what the situation was, the Qin family had its own way to stand tall. ”

Nangong Mo said: "What does this have to do with King Yan's trust in Jun Mo?" ”

Qin Zixu said: "His Royal Highness King Yan obviously has ambitions in the world, but now that he has put such a big power to Wei Gongzi, isn't he worried that one day Wei Gongzi will support his own army and even fight against him?" In front of power and the world, even if it is a biological father and son, I am afraid that I can't fully trust it, let alone an uncle and nephew? Nangong Mo nodded slightly, "So."

Gong Mo nodded slightly, "So?" ”

Qin Zixu shook his head, "I don't know why the prince trusts Wei Gongzi so much, but I'm afraid that others don't know either." What does the county lord think, in the hearts of the three sons of Yanwangfu, what will it be? Especially... In the case of such an obvious differential treatment of His Royal Highness King Yan? The county lord should be worried about this, right? ”

Nangong Mo sighed lightly, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Gongzi Qin, I'm really a little worried." It's just that... These are also unavoidable things. We can't decide how King Yan will act, so we can only do our best to do what we can. Although it is a good thing to take precautions now, thinking too much is tantamount to worrying about the sky. ”

Qin Zixu said with a smile: "It's good that the county lord has figured it out, in fact, it's not difficult to know what Xiao Ergongzi thinks." ”

"Oh? Childe for advice. Nangong Mo was very interested.

Qin Zixu said with a smile: "With the age and qualifications of Second Prince Xiao, His Royal Highness King Yan should not let him lead the troops alone. So the place he was going to was either in the army of the two generals Xue Chen, or with the third prince and the prince of Nangong. The county lord only looked at which side Xiao Ergongzi chose. ”

Nangong Mo pondered for a moment, and said clearly: "If it is under the two generals Xue Chen, with the qualifications of the two generals, even if these two let Qian Wei a little, it will be even more difficult for Qian Wei to get ahead and even master the army. But if it is Qianjiong and the eldest brother, everyone is half a catty, Qianwei's status is higher than that of the eldest brother, and he is older than Qianjiong. As long as he has outstanding ability, it is not difficult to suppress the eldest brother and Qianjiong if he operates properly. ”

"That's what happened." Qin Zixu said with a smile: "Originally, the layout of the prince's division of troops was a little unbalanced, I guess it was originally planned that Wei Gongzi would lead Xiao Sangongzi and their troops and horses all the way, but unfortunately... Wei Gongzi didn't go. Although Nangong Gongzi is proficient in the art of war, he has no follow-up in Youzhou Weizhong, and if the prince does not plan to recruit in person, he should be ready to transfer one of the two generals Xue Chen over. It's just that these days I heard that Nangong Gongzi and Xiao Sangongzi are fighting well, and the prince is only afraid that he will hone the young man's heart, so he has no action. If Xiao Ergongzi chooses this side...... County Lord, do you think Nangong Gongzi and Xiao Er Gongzi can coexist peacefully? ”

Nangong Mo was stunned for a moment and said: "This is natural, even if Qian Wei wants military power, he should not be a person who makes trouble and suppresses generals at will." ”

Qin Zixu shook his head and said, "Nangong Gongzi and Xiao Sangongzi can get along well because these two are good at planning and fighting, and they are just a good match. However, Xiao Ergongzi has neither lack of strategy nor courage, but it is not enough to crush Nangong Gongzi by sending troops to deploy the formation, and it is not enough to deter Xiao Sangongzi from charging into battle. In this way, if the two sides disagree, I am afraid that it is... No one can convince anyone. In the army, if the three commanders have equal power, it is equivalent to a group of dragons without a leader. ”

After Qin Zixu said this, Nangong Mo also understood a lot. He rubbed his eyebrows a little helplessly and said, "If Uncle Yan agrees to Qianwei's request, he must also know this result." Now I'm not worried about these things, but I can't... If it's really as Qin Gongzi said, we can have one more general on our side, right? ”

Qin Zixu couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "It's still the county lord who can think about it." ”

Nangong Mo said: "I just thought too much before, but it was a headache, after Qin Gongzi said this, the county lord felt that since things were destined to happen, it is better to know in his heart than to be ignorant, as for more, it is useless to think about it more and just look at the present." ”

"The county lord is wise." Qin Zixu said with a smile.

Nangong Mo glanced at him, "I don't know when the eldest prince of Qin will flatter people." If you really want to flatter me, Ah Qiao's homework in the past few days will be bothering the son. ”

Qin Zixu said with a smile: "The subordinates obey the order." ”

"Master." Just talking about Shang Qiao, Shang Qiao has already walked quickly from the end of the corridor to this side. These days are good, and Shang Qiao seems to be more and more energetic. Because he began to practice martial arts with the guards, the originally thin little boy gradually became a little more heroic between his eyebrows. Walking up to the two of them, Shang Qiao saluted respectfully, "Master, Mr. Qin." Because Qin Zixu often taught Shang Qiao to read, Shang Qiao called him Mr.

Nangong Mo smiled and said, "Ah Qiao, but what's the matter?" ”

Shang Qiao looked at Nangong Mo and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Back to Master, Aunt Qu said that tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is a night market lantern festival in the city." I want to ...... in vain."

Nangong Mo was stunned, and couldn't help laughing: "Do you want to go out and play?" ”

Shang Qiao was a little embarrassed, although he was only eleven years old, Shang Qiao felt that he was already an adult. I think the master still wants to go out and play or something......

Nangong Mo smiled: "You are not a child anymore, so naturally I will not detain you." It's just that you're just starting to practice martial arts now, and the situation in Chenzhou is undecided, and you have to take the guards with you when you go out. You've never been out since you visited the teacher, and I don't like to go out and play. "Nangong Mo didn't grow up in a normal childhood, and he didn't know what this normal child of this age liked to do. In addition, she was very busy these days, and if Shang Qiao didn't go out, she thought that Shang Qiao didn't like to go out. Now it seems that as long as you are a child, no matter how mature you are, you will inevitably like to have fun.

Shang Qiao's face blushed slightly, "Master, can I go out with Aunt Qu?" ”

"Naturally." Nangong Mo said with a smile: "In the future, I have to go out and talk to Lian Xing or Liu Han." ”

"Yes, thank you, Master!" Shang Qiao said happily.

Nangong Mo patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Sure enough, it's still a child, go ahead." ”

Shang Qiao didn't dodge Nangong Mo patting his hand, but just looked at Nangong Mo and asked, "Master, aren't you going?" ”

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, and Shang Qiao said: "Aunt Qu said that you are often busy in the study all day, and you should go out for a walk more to be good for your health." ”

Nangong Mo smiled and said, "I'm about to forget that it's the Mid-Autumn Festival again, this ......" Wei Junmo is not there, Nangong Mo can't be interested in shopping or anything.

"Master..."Looking at the little boy in front of him looking at his appearance, Nangong Mo couldn't bear to refuse, so he had to nod and said, "Okay, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival will be spent with Master." ”

When Shang Qiao heard this, he smiled more and more satisfied. Since his mother and sister are gone, in Shang Qiao's heart, Master is his only relative. Of course, there is also the handsome master who is not like mortals and is also indifferent. However, in Shang Qiao's heart, the closest person will always be the master who saved his life and avenged his mother and sister.

Seeing him like this, Nangong Mo couldn't help laughing, and at the same time smiled at Qin Zixu with a smile on his side: "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the soldiers in the army should also be rewarded." "These days, Tainingwei has been invincible all the way to the city, although the soldiers and horses are borrowed for money, but the merit still needs to be rewarded.

Qin Zixu said with a smile: "Although the county lord can rest assured, Miss Qu has already started to arrange it earlier. It's just that the county lord is entangled in affairs, so Miss Qu didn't bother the county lord with these trivial matters. ”

Nangong Mo nodded, "Lianxing is becoming more and more capable now, and I am naturally relieved that she is doing things." ”
