At the end of the night, the most serious problem was not the casualties, but the brewing of public opinion.

There is such a big disaster during the New Year, whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it is enough to make the people who believe in the destiny of heaven panic all day long.

If you can't stop this rumor...... I'm afraid that there will be many people with intentions who will obstruct it and spread rumors that Nanzi is immoral and unworthy of being the king of Nanshang.

"I ...... I'll go to the palace. He struggled to get up, but as soon as the palm of his hand touched the bed, as soon as it touched his left shoulder, the heart-rending pain shook him.

"The imperial doctor has just dug up your cooked skin and flesh, and the pain of your movement now is tantamount to picking your skin and cramping." Lu Liuyu said, turning his head to call Su Feng, "Master Su, I'm sorry for you to invite Your Majesty to come here." ”

Su Feng glanced at Nan Luyuan, and without waiting for Nan Luyuan to squeak, she was afraid that he would be involved in flesh and skin again, so she agreed to retreat.

Lu Liuhui got up, asked someone to take the pen and paper, and sat at the desk at the back end, thought for a moment, then picked up the pen and wrote, for a while, picked up the pen, dried the handwriting, handed it to Nan Luyuan and said: "Look at it, writing like this, can you make the prince of the Western Tang Dynasty pay attention to it and avoid disasters first?" ”

Since the king of Nanshang has been calculated, then Gu Yu is likely to be calculated.

It's just that the posture at night is clearly that someone wants Nanzi to die.

King Qi should not dare to do such a thing at this time. The risk of killing the prince of the Western Tang Dynasty was much smaller than that of harming the king of the Southern Shang.

"Ask the king of Nanshang to ask, it's more useful than you trying to be cranky alone." Lu Liuhui put the letter in his pocket, helped Nan Luyuan tuck the quilt, and got up, "It is estimated that the king of Nanshang is also quite irritable now, when Miss Li fell asleep with him, many people saw that they had a skin-to-skin relationship." ”

She walked out of the room and gently closed the door for Nan Luyuan.

Nan Luyuan raised his eyes and looked at the beam above his head, thinking about Lu Liuhuan's words, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, does this matter have anything to do with Li Xiang?

After an hour, there was a call from outside the door for servants to lean over to greet His Majesty, and after the call stopped, someone pushed open the door of Nan Luyuan from outside.

Nan Luyuan tilted his head slightly and glanced at the man. In fact, he didn't need to look at it to know that it was Nan Zixiao, but he still wanted to get up and salute, but sure enough, Nan Ziyan hurriedly pressed back.

"You're almost cooked, so you don't have to salute, brother." Nan Ziyan sat beside him, putting aside the tonic he had brought in his hand, and his face was full of worry in addition to anger.

When Nan Luyuan looked at him, he knew that he was trapped by difficult things, so he said carefully and considerately: "What kind of difficulties did Zi Xiao encounter?" ”

Nan Ziyan looked at his eyes, looked down at his injuries, and struggled for a long time, as if he couldn't bear to let him be disturbed by these miscellaneous things when he was injured, and when he was embarrassed, he hesitated for a while before he confessed in Nan Luyuan's encouraging look: "The interrogation desk has already asked this morning that someone is secretly referring to it, how can I change the class and work hard, and the bird dealer will die in prison." ”

Nan Luyuan's expression was grim.

Nan Zixiao continued: "The trouble in this matter is the trouble, not only did we not ask anything, but also let people die in our place without knowing it, it is not good to give an explanation to the people, and I am afraid that people will think that we are looking for a scapegoat." ”

Nan Luyuan replied with a solemn face, pointing out the suspicions: "Being able to infiltrate the heavenly prison imperceptibly, this person does not have some relationship with the government, or has something to do with the military power." ”

Nan Ziyan said: "There are not many people like this, but it's not easy to check." He paused, and suddenly thought of a person: "Is it possible that Li Xiang did it?" Since the accession of this king to the throne, there has been almost no time when he has been appointed alone, and the eldest brother of Yangguan is in a high position in the army, Li Xiang may have secretly used this relationship to let people get into prison and kill the bird dealer? ”

Nan Luyuan raised his intact arm, lightly pressed his finger against the tip of his nose, his eyebrows wrinkled into a mountain-like "river" shape, and he hesitated: "No, Li Xiang is also the prime minister no matter what he says, that position is coveted by many people, and it is unlikely that he will be able to make such a decision to kill you." Besides, if you have three strengths and two weaknesses, it will not do him any good, but I believe that his daughter saved you later on his own intention. ”

Nan Zixiao's face turned dark, and he said angrily: "Don't mention this matter, now the court is almost coercing this king to marry Miss Li, not to say that there is any 'saving merit, the virtue of the virtuous, the image of the mother's ceremony', that is, they are not happy to be crowned the queen and concubine." ”

At this time, Nan Luyuan also persuaded him: "It should be so." The work of saving the car is in the front, the skin is in the back, and you have to give someone an explanation no matter what. ”

"But, but...... The king has no friendship with her. Nan Zixiao argued in a low voice.

Nan Luyuan reprimanded softly: "Throughout the ages, there are very few people who have a deep relationship with the former king and queen, I have no objection to you seeking the woman you love, but since you have been rescued by others and hugged her, you must give others the title you deserve." Besides, this matter is so great that the whole city is watching your intentions, and if you do not marry her with the gift of a queen, will not the whole city feel that you have done a bad act as a king? ”

Nan Zi suddenly wilted, drooped his head, and was silent for a while before he reluctantly said, "That's good, this king...... This king listens to you. ”

Nan Luyuan didn't say anything anymore, it was already very difficult for him to let Nan Zixiao marry Li Xiang's daughter, and since he agreed, it was nothing.

Nan Zixiao took out a small can of sealed fish maw old chicken soup from a pile of supplements, touched it and felt that it was not hot, before opening the lid and handing it to Nan Luyuan, while saying: "It's still the same thing just now, the bird dealer is dead, what should I do next?" Send the army to search from house to house? ”

Nan Luyuan held the jar with his right hand, took a sip of the thick and sweet soup, and said categorically: "Tell the bird dealer's words, how he died, what the interrogation said, and tell me in detail." It's better than the people spreading rumors in the clouds. Place more trustworthy guards inside and outside your dormitory, reduce travel, and send people to pacify the afflicted people. He breathed for a while, and then said, "Write an edict for sin, reflect on it yourself, abstain from meat and abstinence, clean yourself and burn incense for a month, and then make the edict public to the world." ”

Nan Zixiao nodded, understanding that this was to stop the outbreak of rumors and public opinion, so he carefully kept them all in his heart, and after confirming that they were word for word, he thought of something else: "Then ...... about your marriage to Miss Lu?"

Nan Luyuan lowered his eyes, gently pursed his thin lips, and said, "Right now, your marriage is in the spotlight, if I get engaged in front of you, it will definitely be unfavorable to Miss Lu." I'll wait for you to get married. ”

Nan Zixiao also felt that it made sense, so he didn't ask anymore. He looked at Nan Luyuan's eyebrows and eyes were already stained with a little tiredness, reflecting his handsome and very handsome face with a hint of weakness and sickness, and he couldn't bear to disturb his rest anymore, so he got up and prepared to leave.

As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he couldn't help but turn around and ask: "The eldest princess is going to get married tomorrow, so I can't persuade her." This king can't afford to lose this face, do you want to go? ”

Nan Luyuan seemed to be disgusted even by hearing this title, he frowned slightly, closed his eyelids, and said without a trace of emotion: "Don't go." ”

Nan Zixiao seemed to have known this result a long time ago, so he no longer disturbed him, and gently closed the door.

.........

...

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and when everyone was busy in this stall and did not touch the ground, Beiqin sent a letter to the dignitary.

Nan Zixiao received the letter and immediately tore it to pieces in anger. Nan Luyuan, who had just seen an improvement, accompany him by his side, and finally persuaded him to extinguish the fire.

"Can this king not be angry? This is how they know that this king is now overwhelmed by the dominance, and they are overstretched by the alliance of the Western Tang Dynasty and the Eastern Wei Dynasty! One by one, they fell into the stone, and they are not afraid that the children will not have parents in the future! ”

Nan Luyuan covered his mouth in time, but gently reminded him undoubtedly: "Your Majesty, pay attention to your words and deeds. ”

Nanzi slapped the table and sat down, unable to get rid of the anger in his heart for a while.

"What does Your Majesty think of the matter of Northern Qin?" Nan Luyuan handed him a cup of warm tea.

"Drag it out, it's a while if you can drag it out, now is not the time to turn your face with Beiqin." Nan Zixiao took the tea and drank it all, "Let's delay the spring first—what else can I do?" ”

During this period, Zhang Shenling has been sick at home, and no one has been seen. Nan Luyuan and Li Yangguan both ate a few closed doors, although they didn't say anything, they already had a vague guess in their hearts.

Sure enough, at the end of spring, Northern Qin suddenly sent a letter saying that he had received the sincerity of the Southern Merchants and sent an envoy to send a return gift for the alliance.

Under Nan Zixiao's repeated questioning, Zhang Xiangcai told him how Zhang Shenling persuaded him, and how he learned the news that he used the Zhang family's money to prepare a gift in the winter, and went to Northern Qin. Angry, Nan Zixiao pointed at Zhang Xiangsheng and blushed for a while, unable to speak, and looked anxiously a few times before he said helplessly: "Your father is really willing!" ”

Zhang Xiang knelt on the ground, but when he heard this, he raised his head and said sonorously: "Your Majesty, the minister is also a courtier of Nanshang." ”

Nan Ziyan was neither angry nor angry, pacing back and forth a few times before he walked away in frustration.

Nan Luyuan helped Zhang Xiang up, looked at him with almost half of his flowers, looked at the deep and shallow furrows on his face, and thought to himself, this senior has worked hard for Nanshang all his life, but the only son also went to a foreign country for the future of Nanshang, not to mention that no one is willing to take care of him, that is, it is unknown whether there will be someone to support him in the future.

Nan Luyuan helped him to walk into the house, Zhang Xiang patted his hand gently, signaling that he was okay, then raised his head and looked out the window, and suddenly said nonsensically: "Spring is passing." ”

He looked at this admirable old man, and saw that the old man was looking out the window, as if he was distracted, but he said softly: "Lu Yuan, beware of the eldest princess." ”
