Back in Jinling City, Nangong Mo also breathed a long sigh of relief. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Anyway, sending away Gong Yuchen, the plague god, is also a good thing for them. As for whether Gong Yuchen will do anything out of the ordinary in the future, it's not something they need to worry about now. Of course, it is still necessary to send someone to "escort" Gong Yuchen out of the country. Obviously, Wei Junmo also thought of this question, and held Nangong Mo's hand and said softly: "I have already ordered it to go down, don't worry." "That's good." Nangong Mo nodded. As soon as he stepped into the city gate, the guards of the Youzhou Army came to invite them, saying that King Yan invited the two of them into the palace. The guard who passed the word looked at the young man who was held in his hand by Wei Junmo, and continued: "The prince said, please bring the two little ladies into the palace to meet together."
。 Nangong Mo pursed his lips, but didn't say anything. Originally, I planned to bring the child into the palace today. She just didn't feel at ease, it's not that her daughter was unsightly. If you keep letting King Yan talk about it, it would be better to hug him and show him something earlier.
When the two arrived, King Yan was sitting in the hall talking to Chen Yu, and his face looked much better than yesterday. Seeing the two of them coming in with their children in their arms, they raised their eyebrows and smiled: "You are finally willing to enter the palace." Come over and let the king hug me. ”
Xiao Xiao was a little unfamiliar with King Yan, and sat in Wei Junmo's arms and looked back at Nangong Mo. Nangong Mo smiled at her encouragingly, and said softly: "This is uncle, I saw it yesterday, I saw it before, do you remember?" She nodded, of course she remembered, but she was not familiar. Although Xiao Yao is a self-acquaintance, King Yan does not look as kind as His Royal Highness King Ning even when he is pleasant.
Spread out her little hand and let Wei Junmo hand her over to King Yan, she blinked her eyes and shouted, "Uncle." ”
King Yan paused and sighed helplessly. Although he was a little angry that his son refused to recognize him, he could not anger a three-year-old girl. Just looked at the little girl's face, and said to Wei Junmo: "This little girl looks like your mother." ”
Hehe. Nangong Mo twitched in his heart.
The mother that King Yan said is naturally not Princess Changping, Wei Junmo looks like Princess Changping, or should he be said to look like the mother of King Yan and Princess Changping. Although Xiao Yao and An An are neither completely like Wei Junmo nor Nangong Mo, they can still find out the characteristics of the two of them from their faces. It is clearly a collection of the advantages of his parents, why does he look like Wei Junmo's mother-in-law?
Chen Yu looked at King Yan holding the pink little girl with a happy face, as if even the breath of the whole body had become a little gentler, and he couldn't help but be surprised. looked at Wei Junmo and Nangong Mo who were standing on the side, and knew it in their hearts. It seems that the prince's attention to Wei Gongzi is indeed unparalleled, and it is also... Whoever can have such an outstanding son is enough to be relieved. Not to mention, the prince has watched his son's eldest son suffer a lot of grievances in the Jingjiang County Palace, obviously he is the prince and the son-in-law, but he can only succumb to the position of the prince of a county and be disliked. Coupled with the feelings and guilt of his wife who died early, I am afraid that no matter what Wei Gongzi looks like, he will be worth three points in the eyes of King Yan.
"Let's all sit down and talk." While teasing Xiao Yao, King Yan asked casually, "That Gong Yuchen, gone?" ”
Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo went out of the city early in the morning, so naturally they couldn't hide it from King Yan.
Nangong Mo nodded, and King Yan didn't care, "It's okay to go." "King Yan didn't have to kill everything, the reason why Gong Yuchen was able to turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain was only because of the situation at that time, and it was also because of his dual identity and the power of the Water Pavilion. Now that the Water Pavilion has been almost uprooted by Zixiao Palace, there is no money and no one, and Gong Yuchen can't toss it if he wants toss. In this world, it's not a bad thing to know that there is an enemy who may be peering in the shadows forever. At the very least, we can always be vigilant and not fall into the illusion of self-supremacy. What's more, Gong Yuchen is not a person who is willing to be subordinate, and his attention was only in the Central Plains before. really back to the Northern Yuan, how long the King of the Northern Yuan can tolerate him, or how long he can tolerate the King of the Northern Yuan, it is necessary to say.
Regarding King Yan's generosity, Nangong Mo was a little surprised. Speaking of which, Gong Yuchen has harmed King Yan a lot, and King Yan can let him go so easily, which can be regarded as magnanimous.
As if sensing her surprised gaze, King Yan snorted lightly and said angrily: "Only you have the ability, even the most powerful enemy will be trampled under your feet and bowed down, if you don't have the ability, there will be a fire pavilion master if you kill the water pavilion master, and there will be a fake Taoist priest after killing the fake monk of Gong Yuchen." ”
"Thank you for what my uncle said." Nangong Mo smiled.
King Yan was speechless, looking at Nangong Mo looking at Wei Junmo, he suddenly felt speechless.
Sighing, King Yan asked, "The Jinling Imperial City is already under our control, and those people who are locked up in the imperial study are time to be released?" Speaking of this, King Yan was a little depressed
。 He wished that all those old immortals were dead, but these old guys couldn't be killed. At least, you can't kill them all, can you? And Xiao Qianye... King Yan raised his eyes to look at Wei Junmo, "What's going on with the emperor?" ”
Wei Gongzi's expression was cold, but it was clearly written in his eyes, how do I know?
Chen Yu coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, although we have now controlled Jinling City, those old ministers, in the opinion of the last general, it is better to lock them up for a few more days." "Although Chen Yu is a military general, most of the time he can still be used as half a civil servant. He is a confidant of King Yan, and he is not too taboo when he speaks, "Most of those old ministers are stubborn, and now they are only afraid that they will cause chaos." There are also two Zhou Xiang and Han Min..."Zhou Xiang and Han Min are not only highly respected, but also famous among the scholars in the world. In terms of age, Xie Hou is their junior.
King Yan also frowned, he didn't want to keep these two old men. But if you want to kill, you have to have a good reason. These two are not those unknown people, and no one cares if they are pinched to death. Even if these two of them fell ill directly in the imperial study today, eighty percent of the people in the world would suspect that it was his poisonous hand. So... You still have to endure it! King Yan gritted his teeth, this king has endured it for more than 20 years, and he still cares if it doesn't work in these two days?
nodded and said, "That's it, then let's lock it up first." Heard... Yongcheng is there for you? ”
Nangong Mo nodded, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, Yongcheng and the county lord of Shanjia entered the city, didn't Changfeng tell his uncle when he entered the palace?" ”
King Yan frowned, waved his hand, and said, "Then let her live where you live now." The Yanwang Mansion should also be cleaned up in two days. As for the second daughter-in-law... Leave her alone for now. "Zhu Chuyu, the daughter-in-law, King Yan has never looked pleasing to the eye from beginning to end. This woman has some skills and scheming, and she even has contact with Gong Yuchen. But in the past two years, she still knows some measure, and she hasn't leaked anything to Gong Yuchen that shouldn't be leaked. Otherwise, he couldn't spare her!
After discussing the matter, Chen Yu retired with interest and left the space to King Yan and his son and daughter-in-law.
When Chen Yu left, King Yan was obviously much more relaxed. He was not in good health now, and it was not good to hold the child all the time, so he put him in a wide chair and stuffed her with a set of delicate jade carved dolls and let her play with herself. Then he looked back at Wei Junmo and asked, "What did you think about rescuing Xiao Qianye before?" ”
Wei Junmo frowned and asked, "Uncle thinks it's better to let him burn to death?" ”
"Convenient." In the face of Wei Junmo, King Yan did not act coyly, and simply said neatly. Of course, he knew that Xiao Qianye being burned to death by fire was not good for his reputation, but it was better to be clean. Anyway, the temple was arranged by himself, and if he died, he could only be regarded as a * at most.
Wei Junmo disagreed, and said indifferently: "If he dies, how do the two princes and uncles who are left behind plan to be settled?" "The emperor is all * , even if there is a big mistake, you can't hold on to it anymore. What's more, King Yan is fighting under the banner of Jingjing, the emperor committed suicide and martyrdom, you can't still kill the two princes, right? Not only must you keep it, but you have to keep it well. It's your fault if you die. But raising two children who have the hatred of killing their father and seizing the throne?
King Yan frowned, "Then what do you say?" ”
Wei Junmo said indifferently: "Let Xiao Qianye abdicate by himself." ”
"Isn't that the same?" King Yan frowned and said, "The king is going to raise three people?" It's better to have two children who don't know anything. King Yan looked at his son a little strangely, when did this kid start to soften his heart.
Nangong Mo tilted his head and thought for a moment, and said, "Uncle, what Jun Mo means... Let everyone in the world try to stand on his uncle's side, even if Xiao Qianye still has any thoughts in the future, it is his unrighteousness, not that his uncle is unkind. King Yan frowned, he didn't really want a reputation for cruelty, but how could this be possible?
"As long as this king ascends the throne, he will not have a good reputation no matter what
。 "In the eyes of the world, no matter how King Yan ascended the throne, it was Xiao Qianye who passed on the throne to the first emperor, but in the end, King Yan kicked Xiao Qianye down and took the throne himself, which is a crime.
Nangong Mo reached out and took out a booklet from his sleeve pocket and handed it to King Yan, "What if you have these." ”
King Yan was stunned for a moment, took the booklet and hurriedly flipped through it. Raised his eyebrows and said, "This is what Gong Yuchen gave you?" ”
Nangong Mo pursed his lips and smiled lightly: "This is half, and the other half will be sent to General Zhu before he leaves the customs." ”
King Yan put the booklet aside, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "If that's the case, you can give it a try." "For the sake of the eldest brother of the prince, King Yan doesn't want to kill Xiao Qianye, but this little affection for the former prince is insignificant compared to his ambition.
Some rumors about Xiao Qianye suddenly spread throughout Jinling, and spread beyond Jinling at a very fast speed.
For example, when Zhang Dingfang rebelled, because of Xiao Qianye's mistake, the coach was seriously injured and almost wiped out. For example, when Xiao Qianye was the eldest grandson of the emperor, he formed a party for personal gain and so on. But these are all trivial things, and more importantly, Xiao Qianye's cronies were corrupt and bent the law at the beginning, which led to civil unrest in Lingzhou, and Xiao Qianye and Xiao Chun's cooperation in stealing gold mines was improper, which made Lingzhou almost plagued. But Xiao Chun was the murderer who killed the crown prince and the first emperor, and the first emperor died, Xiao Qianye ascended the throne and canonized Xiao Chun as the regent. As a descendant, Xiao Qianye's collusion with the person who killed his father and ancestor is really rebellious. Although Xiao Qianye killed Xiao Chun in the end, no one will think that he is lying on his back, but will only think that it is caused by the uneven interests of the two of them. There were many times he cooperated with the Pavilion Master of the Water Pavilion to calculate the Yan Wang's Mansion, and in the end, he almost burned the Yan King to death in the Taimiao. And the identity of the Pavilion Master of the Water Pavilion is actually the remnant of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Such news seems to have spread all over the Jinling Imperial City.
Many people know that this is someone who ruined Xiao Qianye's reputation again, but the problem is that these things are rumored to have noses and eyes, and even conclusive evidence. And those who are capable and willing to whitewash Xiao Qianye's reputation are all locked up in the imperial study at this time, and they don't know anything about the outside world. As for the top ten families in Jinling, they have long hated Xiao Qianye to the core. Even if Xiao Qianye didn't send someone to kill them, it was always Xiao Qianye who put them under house arrest in the palace, and Gong Yuchen always cooperated with Xiao Qianye. Even the most gentlemanly Xie family is just a disagreeing one. For example, the Zhu family, the Lian family, and the Yang family, who suffered heavy losses1, even struggled to join the team to smear Xiao Qianye.
The imperial court seemed to have no intention of controlling public opinion, so everyone became more discussant. Even if someone occasionally thought that this was a conspiracy of the Yan Wangfu, it was quickly drowned in the endless saliva of the people.
Overnight, people seemed to have forgotten about the army in the Yan Wangfu, and Xiao Qianye, who had a very average reputation, suddenly became extremely corrupt. It seems that Xiao Qianye is really the first faint king who is heinous, corrupt in character, and rare to see in the ages. ”
"Father."
Xie family
Xie Hou sat in the study and drank tea with the head of the Qin family, and standing behind them was the seventh son of the Xie family. Although Xie Qigongzi is not the choice of the next generation of the Xie family, he is really an excellent son of the Xie family. It's just that people like the Xie family don't need a family head who is too sharp, and Xie Qigongzi's ranking is also very low. But the eldest son of the Xie family is busy with affairs, and Xie Hou is usually more willing to talk to Xie Qigongzi.
The head of the Qin family looked out the window and sighed, "His Royal Highness King Yan has made a good move." ”
Xie Hou raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a light smile.
The head of the Qin family said: "I originally thought that according to the character of King Yan, His Majesty the Emperor was afraid that he would not survive the day when the city was broken." "Cutting through the mess quickly is indeed more in line with the character of King Yan.
Xie Hou shook his head and said, "King Yan is not an unwise person, since he has so many things in his hands... Naturally, it would be better to keep His Majesty
。 "It depends on martial artists to fight the world, but wisdom in the world depends on Wenchen. If King Yan is opposed by all the literati in the world, there will be more trouble in the future than if Xiao Qianye is left now. The head of the Qin family smiled: "That's why I said, His Royal Highness King Yan has made a good move." His Majesty's defeat in the hands of King Yan is really unjust. ”
In terms of ability, wrist, and courage, where is Xiao Qianye, the eldest grandson of the emperor who grew up in the splendid pile, the opponent of the emperor's uncle? I don't know if the first emperor thought of this result when he passed the throne to Xiao Qianye.
Xie Hou pondered for a moment and said, "If His Royal Highness King Yan can leave His Majesty's life, it is naturally the best. "After all, the Xie family is a scholarly family, and they don't want the king on the throne to be too cold-blooded and ruthless.
The head of the Qin family nodded, Xiao Qianye is still the nephew of King Yan, if he can be ruthless to Xiao Qianye, he will not be polite to these families. Of course, the head of the Qin family felt that King Yan had no mercy towards Xiao Qianye now. There was silence in the study for a moment, and the Qin family master asked, "In the future... What are Xie Houke's plans? ”
In today's situation, it is impossible to stay out of it. Even the Xie family, who was beyond the world, had to choose to take sides. Either choose King Yan, or accompany Xiao Qianye to die. And whether it is the Qin family or the Xie family, of course, they will not accompany Xiao Qianye to die. The Qin family doesn't have to choose, there is Qin Zixu in the Qin family, and he has already been tied to King Yan's chariot. And when the head of the Qin family asked this, in addition to temptation, he also had the intention of convincing Xie Hou. King Yan has a resolute and iron-blooded personality, and the Qin family needs to show enough obedience and loyalty. Otherwise, just one Qin Zixu can keep the Qin family for a while, but not the Qin family for a lifetime. The head of the Qin family is obviously well versed in the survival of the family, the king is cowardly and incompetent, and the family can certainly exhale and raise his eyebrows. If the monarch is strong, it is better for them to keep to themselves.
Xie Hou smiled indifferently, looked sideways at Xie Qigongzi, who was standing beside him first, and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Xie Qigongzi was still calm and calm towards the two family masters, and said with a smile: "The Xie family is different from the Qin family, we only need to take a stand at the right time, His Royal Highness King Yan will naturally understand." More than enough is too much. ”
The head of the Qin family was a little regretful, and he was still planning to pull the Xie family to help. As for the other family heads, he didn't look at them very much. But obviously, the Xie family is not stupid. The Qin family has a transcendent status, and only needs to protect themselves. Although this Xie Qigongzi is young, he is not arrogant or impatient, and he is very calm. Looking at the Qin family master's undisguised expression, Xie Hou couldn't help but smile, shook his head and said, "Brother Qin, why should he be like this? With Ling Lang here, the Qin family can rest easy. Speaking of... The old man really admired Brother Qin very much. "To be able to give up the eldest son at that time really requires a great decision. Fortunately, the Qin family master won the bet.
The head of the Qin family sighed and said, "It's the old man who is greedy." ”
Xie Hou shook his head and said: "Just follow the trend, the ancestral teachings of the ancestors are still in the ears, otherwise the old man may not be moved." However, the old man heard that there was quite a bit between the three sons of Yanwangfu... Once King Yan ascends the throne, I am afraid that it will be another storm. ”
The head of the Qin family frowned, and he was also a little lucky, "Zixu is following Wei Gongzi, as long as he is stable, he will not be like this." It's still a little early to say that. "The Qin family really can't get involved in the prince dispute anymore. King Yan is in his prime, but his three sons-in-law are already quite young. But who knows what the future holds? It's too anxious to choose a side now.
Xie Hou nodded, "Brother Qin has a plan in his heart. ”
"Master Qiqi, the lord of Xingcheng asks to see you." Outside the door, the steward announced.
Hearing this, the three of them were stunned. The head of the Qin family smiled, "It seems that Brother Xie can't stay out of the matter." ”
Xie Hou shook his head, "Not necessarily." ”
The Qin family lord said with a smile: "The county lord of Xingcheng is not an ordinary woman, since she is here to visit Brother Xie, there must be something important."
Xie Hou was speechless, so he had to sigh and get up, "Please come in." ”
