The two said goodbye to their master and uncle, and hurried back to Youzhou City. When he returned to King Yan's mansion, he was directly summoned into the study by King Yan before he didn't even have time to say a word to Princess Yan. In the study, the three sons of the Yan Wangfu were all there. It's just that Xiao Qianchi and Xiao Qianwei's expressions are a little dignified, but Xiao Qianwei is calm and leisurely. Obviously, King Yan just asked him to come over and listen, and he didn't intend to let him express any opinions. He probably wasn't very interested in any of these himself.

"Uncle."

"Sit down and talk." King Yan waved his hand and motioned for the two to sit down and talk. Xiao Qianchi and Xiao Qianwei looked at Nangong Mo with some surprise. They knew that their father and mother valued their cousin and sister-in-law very much. But I didn't know that my father would even ask my cousin and sister-in-law to come with me to discuss these things. You must know that even the mother concubine can't participate in these things most of the time. Nangong Mo didn't see the eyes of the two cousins, looked at King Yan and said, "Uncle, what does the emperor's majesty mean this time?" ”

Compared to the taciturn nephew, His Royal Highness King Yan felt that he still preferred to talk to this nephew and daughter-in-law. Although she is a woman, she will not say nothing, and every time she speaks, she can always get to the point. The most important thing is that she will not be like Wei Junmo, as if she needs a gold or two for every spit out, which makes people feel cold from time to time. The only pity is that it is not a man. Otherwise, he will also be a fierce general in the army in the future.

King Yan snorted lightly and said lightly, "What else can he mean?" Isn't it just that you don't feel at ease, send someone to see if this king has any ideas? ”

Xiao Qianwei frowned and said, "But, father? Why is His Majesty staring at us alone? My father is not the only prince with a heavy army. "Also holding a serious illness are King Ning of Xizhou, King Kang of Bashu, and Acting King of Bingzhou. King Yan glanced at his son and didn't speak, he knew Wei Junmo's life experience, but he couldn't tell his three sons. just said lightly: "The emperor has now cleaned up the Jinling royal family, and those families in Jinling don't want to raise the bar with him, so he naturally wants to find another opponent." But... To deal with so many princes first, who gave him confidence? ”

Nangong Mo smiled: "Naturally, they are those old ministers in the court. "Those people spend their days singing praises to virtue, except for excluding dissent. Even if Xiao Qianye is an inferiority complex and has been held like this for more than half a year, his self-confidence will be infinitely inflated. What's more, Xiao Qianye is not a humble character in nature.

Xiao Qianchi also understood that his father didn't want to say anything, so he asked, "What about the Duke of Eguo and Lord Zhou?" ”

King Yan said: "Aren't they here to attend the wedding?" After a few days of wedding, let them get out of the way immediately. Be careful these days. "The Duke of Eguo is actually not worried, and Youzhou has no handle for the imperial court to arrest now. But Zhou Xiang was a little uneasy about King Yan, Zhou Xiang was exiled by the first emperor in his early years and suffered a lot, and he was not a big person. The problem of these literati is that they like to grasp chicken feathers as arrows, and if there is a little mistake and is stopped by him, they hate it so much that it will make a big fuss.

"Yes, Father." The three of them responded in unison. It's just that Xiao Qianchi is serious, Xiao Qianwei is dignified, and Xiao Qianjiong is careless.

The three brothers of Xiao Qianchi retired, but Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo were left behind by King Yan. There were only three people in the study, and it was a little deserted for a while. Nangong Mo hesitated for a moment before asking, "Uncle, Xiao Qianye is staring at the Yan Wangfu, is it... Because, Jun Mo? ”

King Yan looked up at her and nodded slightly. Raised his hand to stop what the two of them wanted to say later. He said in a deep voice: "You don't think too much, even if there is no matter of Jun Mo, these things will come sooner or later." Whether it is this king or other brothers, they all know that once the new emperor ascends the throne, the most uneasy thing must be those of us who have heavy troops. "Xiao Qianye wants to take back the military power in the hands of the prince, and even wants to cut the domain, which is not wrong in itself. The question is whether he is capable of it. No one will really be tied up and let him be slaughtered at will.

Nangong Mo smiled bitterly, if it weren't for Wei Junmo's life experience, at least Xiao Qianye would not have completely focused his thoughts on Yan Wangfu.

King Yan obviously didn't care about this, and said in a deep voice: "Don't think about it, this king doesn't believe that he dares to blatantly do something to this king." can't come up with a justifiable reason, and these imperial uncles of his are not eating rice. ”

Nangong Mo nodded, and King Yan continued: "Don't worry about Yuan Chun there. It's Zhou Xiang's old man, you two pay attention. The three of them are still a little too tender in the end. ”

"Yes, uncle." The two nodded and said in unison.

King Yan made people stare at Zhou Xiang, but the first one to find Nangong Mo was Yuan Chun. Now they all live in the Yanwang Mansion, and if they want to visit the mountain gate, it's just a matter of raising their legs. Nangong Mo was sitting in front of Princess Changping and talking, and the girl outside came to tell the Duke of Eguo to see the princess and the county lord. Princess Changping was stunned and a little puzzled, "Why did the Duke of Eguo make a special trip to see me?" ”

Although she is the eldest princess of a country, she really has no intersection with the people in the court. Not to mention that the Duke of Eguo, as a veteran of the Yipin Country, is now the queen's father, and he is in the position of the national abbot, no one can say anything if he doesn't come to see Princess Changping.

Nangong Mo smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Eguo Gong probably... It's coming for me. ”

She hadn't forgotten that before leaving Jinling, she had taken advantage of the Duke of Eguo. Although she did what she felt she should do, she was still a little sorry for this upright Duke of Eguo, who had been upright all her life. Princess Changping didn't know what was going on, so she had to nod and say, "In that case, please come in." ”

The girl answered, and after a while, she saw E Guogong wearing an ordinary shirt and walking in quickly. Although he is already over the age of sixties, the spirit of the battle-hardened man E Guogong is not bad. stepped forward and bowed respectfully towards Princess Changping, "The old minister has seen the eldest princess." ”

Princess Changping smiled lightly: "Don't dare, the Duke of Eguo will be exempt from courtesy." Have a seat. ”

The Duke of Eguo thanked Princess Changping and sat down at the bottom

, sat down at the bottom, and then looked at Nangong Modao, who was sitting on the left hand side of Princess Changping: "Lord of Xingcheng, don't come to harm?" ”

Nangong Mo got up and said with a slight smile: "Thank you for the Eguo Gong Hangji, it's okay." Guogong also seems to be blessed and healthy, and the trip to the north is still refreshing. ”

E Guogong smiled, looked at Nangong Mo and said, "The old man has seen a lot of people in his life, but he has never seen anyone who can talk better than the county lord." ”

Nangong Mo maintained a smile, "Guogong has won the award." Compared with the county lord of Shanjia, Nangong Mo is only afraid that he will not be able to hurt the table. ”

"Lord Shanjia?" E Guogong frowned, not knowing what to think. Obviously, he had a bad impression of Zhu Chuyu, and said with a smile: "If the county lord of Shanjia is really better at talking than the county lord, why has the county lord of Shanjia never offended the old man, but the old man doesn't like her very much." On the contrary, it is the county lord who uses people without mercy, but the old man still appreciates it? Visible... Or the county lord of Xingcheng is more powerful than the county lord of Shanjia. ”

Nangong Mo sighed in his heart, and sure enough, he still couldn't hide from this matter. When you come out to mix, you always have to pay it back.

Arching his hand towards the Duke of E, Nangong Mo Zhengse said: "The matter of Jinling, the younger generation is also forced to do so, and I ask the Duke of Eguo to forgive me." ”

Duke E waved his hand, looked at Nangong Mo and said: "The old man doesn't know what grievances you have with His Majesty, but the matter of Jinling is indeed not authentic." The old man didn't come here to ask the county lord for his guilt. ”

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, looking at the defeated Duke of Eguo in front of him, he was a little puzzled by his intention. E Guogong snorted lightly and said: "The county lord and Wei Shizi have a life-saving grace to the queen, even if the old man doesn't know anything anymore, he also knows that the life-saving grace should be reciprocated." The matter of Jinling, the county lord is not more careful. Although E Guogong was also a little angry when he first came back to his senses and realized that he was being used by Nangong Mo, there was nothing to say after thinking clearly. The emperor made it clear that he wanted the lives of Wei Shizi and the county lord of Xingcheng, could he not allow people to resist? If Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo really committed some heinous crimes, it would be easy to say. But His Majesty's behavior like that is clearly revenge for personal gain. On the other hand, E Guogong also admired Nangong Mo's intelligence. This time, I didn't come to Nangong Mo to settle old accounts. Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo saved the lives of the queen and the little prince, which is more important to the Yuan family than anything else.

Nangong Mo lowered his eyes and said softly: "The public words of the Eguo are heavy, and it is just a matter of duty." ”

Duke E looked at Nangong Mo and Princess Changping, and said in a deep voice: "This time the matter is not right, but... 陛xià is still young after all. If the majesty xià... Change your mind, eldest princess, Wei Shizi and the county lord of Xingcheng are willing to ......" Without waiting for the Duke of E to finish speaking, Nangong Mo spoke: "Duke Guo, thank you for your kindness." It's just that... This shouldn't be the meaning of Majesty, right? ”

E Guogong was stunned for a moment, nodded slightly, and said: "As long as the county lord and Wei Shizi are willing, the old man is willing to guarantee the safety of the three with his net worth." ”

Nangong Mo shook his head and said with a light smile: "Guogong, the emperor's heart, you are afraid that you still don't understand." If we return to Jinling, not to mention your net worth, I am afraid that even if we match the net worth of the entire clan, His Majesty the Emperor will not change his mind. ”

Eguo Gong was stunned, "Why is this so?" In the eyes of the Duke of E, Xiao Qianye's dim sum knot towards Wei Junmo and Nangong Mo should be the obvious importance that the first emperor attached to Wei Shizi when he was alive and Wei Shizi swept the emperor's face several times. The rest is the matter of Zixiao Palace, although it is a big deal to set up a killer organization privately, but as long as Zixiao Palace is disbanded, sincerely admits his mistakes, and has the guarantee of his eldest princess Lingyi and King Qi of Yan, His Majesty will always open his face. What's more, now that there is a shortage of military generals in the DPRK and China, E Guogong was originally very optimistic about Wei Junmo. Although he knew that the emperor was afraid that King Yan would not let Wei Junmo hold heavy troops, Wei Junmo was a rare all-round talent in civil and military affairs.

Such a talent was forced to live in Youzhou, although he had the support of King Yan, but he was really wronged.

Nangong Mo said: "It's better not to mention this matter to His Majesty, otherwise I'm afraid it won't be a good thing for Guogong himself." Nangong Mo didn't suspect that Eguo Gong was a lobbyist sent by Xiao Qianye, no matter how stupid Xiao Qianye was, he should know that they had such a reason, they would never go to Jinling again, no matter who they sent, it was the same. What's more, if he wanted the Duke of E to trick them back for him, he had to tell the Duke of E the reason why he had to kill Wei Junmo. I'm afraid that in a short period of time, Xiao Qianye will not be willing to tell this reason to the upright Duke of E.

E Guogong frowned, Nangong Mo said it so clearly, he naturally understood that there was an inside story that he didn't know. Regarding Xiao Qianye's son-in-law, Eguo Gong originally thought that he knew a lot, but since the death of the first emperor, he found that he didn't seem to know him at all. For example, he almost didn't understand the matter between Xiao Qianye and Xiao Chun. is even more incomprehensible to Wei Junmo's inexplicable killing intent. Thinking of what Xiao Chun said on the night he forced the palace, and Xiao Qianye's behavior of killing Xiao Chun first at any cost. E Guogong couldn't help but shudder in his heart, and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Seeing that the Duke of E was like this, Nangong Mo also knew that he had figured it out. In fact, many things are not that people can't understand them, but that they are subconsciously unwilling to understand them. Once someone reminds you, it is obviously not feasible to cover your ears and steal the bell.

After thinking about it, E Guogong's face became even more difficult to look at. Not only for Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo, but also for the future of Great Xia. His Majesty sent him and Zhou Xiang to Youzhou, obviously not at ease with His Royal Highness King Yan. But now... Didn't His Majesty the Emperor feel that he was in a hurry? It has only been half a year since he ascended the throne to dare to fight the idea of the vassal king, even if the crown prince ascended the throne at the beginning, he did not dare to be so anxious.

Nangong Mo and Princess Changping sat calmly on the side and drank tea together. After a long time, the Duke of Eguo let out a long sigh and arched his hand to Princess Changping: "The old man was reckless for a while, and I ask the eldest princess to forgive me." ”

Princess Changping shook her head and said with a light smile: "This palace knows that the Duke of Eguo has good intentions. ”

startled

E Guogong shook his head bitterly, sighed and got up to say goodbye.

Nangong Mo followed and got up to personally send E Guogong out, and the two of them had nothing to say along the way. In the end, Duke E just looked at Nangong Mo and sighed, shook his head and turned around to leave.

Nangong Mo stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the back of Duke E Guogong who was a little stumbling when he left, and sighed slightly.

"Flawless?" On the other side, Wei Junmo strolled over and happened to see Nangong Mo standing at the gate of the courtyard and said. Nangong Mo looked back and smiled, "You're back?" ”

"What are you doing standing here?"

Nangong Mo said about the visit of Duke E, and Wei Junmo nodded slightly and didn't say anything more. They and Xiao Qianye have long since left no room for relaxation, although the Duke of E is kind, but this hard work is in vain.

Nangong Mo pulled Wei Junmo inside, and asked curiously, "How is that old man Zhou Xiang?" "It's also an old man, compared to Zhou Xiang and Jinling, Nangong Mo thinks his master is particularly cute.

Wei Junmo shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"Huh? I thought my uncle asked you to see Zhou Xiang and Eguogong. Nangong Mo was a little surprised. Wei Junmo said indifferently: "No, my uncle just left me to talk about things in the army for a while." "Obviously, His Royal Highness King Yan doesn't take these two envoys very seriously. Although it is said that you must be careful not to let them catch any braids, but if a prince of King Yan still needs to bow carefully to the two courtiers, then this prince might as well not be happy.

Nangong Mo nodded, and sighed: "I like that this wedding can be completed smoothly, and we can send these two away, so we can go back to the army." "Although the conditions in the army are a little simpler, life is simpler. But compared to these trivial matters in Youzhou City and the intrigues in Jinling, it is more than a hundred times easier.

Wei Junmo stretched out his hand and took her into his arms, and said softly: "Okay, let's go back after the wedding." In addition, the uncle who you wrote earlier about wanting to train a large number of military doctors and supply medicine bottles in the army agreed, but there are still some things I want to talk to you about personally. Nangong Mo was stunned for a moment, and said with some surprise: "You were talking to your uncle about this just now?" ”

Wei Junmo nodded slightly.

Nangong Mo happily stretched out her hand and gave him a hug, the matter of training military doctors was considered to be for the sake of the army, but most of the supply of medicines was for her own money. Although there will be a lot of convenience in the army, the key point is that she can transfer a lot of money. Although she already has a lot of money, she doesn't mind making more money on her own. Especially when these methods of making money are based on things you love.

However, these are all plans written by Nangong Mo when he is idle in private, and Wei Junmo occasionally takes them and looks at them twice, but he doesn't say anything. I didn't expect him to show it to King Yan in person, Nangong Mo knew that if it wasn't for Wei Junmo's persuasion, King Yan was afraid that he wouldn't make up his mind so quickly.

"Thank you." Nangong Mo smiled: "I will do my best to make the most complete plan to satisfy my uncle." ”

"If you like it." Wei Junmo looked at him and said softly.

Looking at him in his arms, Nangong Mo happily thought about his own affairs in his heart. King Yan has a total of nearly 400,000 soldiers and horses, and the amount of various medicines needed every year is at least 250,000 taels. With the help of King Yan, King Ning, King Qi, King Zhou, King Lu, and so on who are close to the north can be considered in the future. In this way, her thousands of acres of land are not enough. Don't look at the income of more than 200,000 taels this year, when Wei Junmo made a move, it was 500,000 taels to see a doctor, which was brain pumping.

Looking at the woman's beautiful eyes that were leaning on her arms, she kept rolling, obviously thinking about something. Wei Gongzi raised his sword eyebrows, and was about to speak, when a smiling voice came from behind him, "Cousin, cousin-in-law, where are you?" ”

When the two turned around, they saw Xiao Qianwei and Xiao Qianchi standing side by side at the door looking at them with strange expressions.

Nangong Mo hurriedly retreated from Wei Junmo's side, and said with a smile: "Two cousins, what's the matter?" ”

The two sons of Yanwangfu glanced at each other: the cousin-in-law is really a heroine among women, this calm posture... Let them think a little more, and feel that they are thinking about it.
