Because the Nie family is a family of military generals, even though it is now a royal palace, it does not have as many rules as other aristocratic families, and the Nie prince and his wife only have this son and a daughter, and they love more treasures, so for their daughter's request, they not only reprimanded them, but also agreed with a smile.

In the next few days, Nie Wang Ye summoned the Lian family brothers twice, and kept sending people to the Lian family's little servants to talk to each other, confirming the news from the mouths of these people.

It turns out that although Lian Nie's family has the heart of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, it is not very strong, especially the Lian family is a large local family in southern Xinjiang, and Lian Nie's family is used to being the wife of the house, and has always been commanding and powerful, so as a last resort, I don't want to go to Beijing to go to my mother's family who has not been in contact for many years.

Moreover, when the Lian family arrived at Lian Yu's generation, a bunch of children were born, and they couldn't do it at all, and even the Nie family understood in their hearts that the so-called high climbing was actually difficult for a strong man.

But she has always been arrogant, when General Nie was stationed in southern Xinjiang that day, the daughter of the official family in southern Xinjiang respected her, and the princess grew up, and after marrying into the Lian family, she was even more overwhelming, and she was the only one who looked down on others, and no one looked down on her.

So although I know that my grandchildren are all concubines, and it is more difficult to say that a good family affair is more difficult than climbing to the sky, I can't accept the reality, not so much because I want my grandchildren to climb high, but for the sake of my own face, I don't want my grandchildren to marry badly.

If even the children of the family can find good relatives, even the Nie family will naturally have a bright face.

However, this time in Beijing, in addition to the idea of marrying a high-ranking family, the most important reason is that there has been chaos in southern Xinjiang, because there was not much rain last year, the drought in the fields was severe, the harvest was not good, and the partial government still collected taxes as usual, and refused to reduce or reduce half a cent, and the people naturally complained.

Even the family's reputation is outside, and he knows that he is a local rich man, and at the beginning of the year, he was attacked by refugees and robbed a lot of property, food, meat and vegetables, etc., although he did not enter the inner courtyard, it was enough to scare Lian Nie's family half to death.

In addition, the neighboring small countries are ready to move, and several harassers have disturbed the border, and the county seat of Yongjin, which is closest to the border, has been occupied, and the county order and several rich people in the county have been beheaded, and the family wealth has been divided.

Even the Nie family was even more frightened when they got the news, although they lived in the southern Xinjiang mansion, as long as the southern Xinjiang would not be completely occupied, the mansion would be fine, but she was still not at ease, so she decided to take a few grandchildren who had always been favored into Beijing to join the Nie Wangfu, as for the remaining unfavored, they divided some belongings and let them fend for themselves.

And all this, the emperor did not know at all.

As long as there are no particularly serious natural and man-made disasters, they will not mention a word, lest the emperor think that the government is unfavorable, thus affecting the promotion.

The same is true for the magistrates in southern Xinjiang, since the Nie family withdrew from southern Xinjiang in Nie Tingzhang's father's generation, and the one who was stationed in southern Xinjiang was a general surnamed Wang, whose ability was not as good as that of the generals of the Nie family, but the ability to whitewash the peace was extraordinarily large.

Although Nie Tingzhang has never been to southern Xinjiang, because of his ancestors, he has always been very concerned about that side, and he can't help but be a little suspicious, because as a border province, southern Xinjiang will never be like this.

Although he was suspicious in his heart, it was difficult for Nie Wang Ye himself to say anything, otherwise it would imply that the Wang family was not as good as the Nie family, or he couldn't see that the Wang family was doing better than the Nie family in southern Xinjiang. delicacies

It's not that he didn't write to the Lian family to ask, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, so this time Lian Nie's door came to the door, like fat delivered to his mouth, how could he not ask?

After getting the news, I can't help but be worried, the border city of Yongjin County has fallen, why hasn't the Wang family's excerpt been played?

General Wang's twists and turns have not come until now, not because the road is far away and has not been sent to Beijing, you must know that even the Nie family has an old woman and a girl, and the walking speed on the road is absolutely not fast, but the twist and turn is a special person to ride a horse all the way to gallop, and change horses at the post station without changing people to rush into Beijing.

Therefore, it was General Wang who concealed it and did not report it.

Nie Wang Ye couldn't figure out what General Wang's intention was, this is not an ordinary bandit, this is the loss of a border county, unless General Wang is absolutely sure that he can recover it, otherwise the court will know sooner or later.

I hesitated for a while, thinking that Nie Linyu had some opinions on political affairs, so I simply called her to discuss and tell her daughter the information she got from Lian Yu and others and the Lian family.

Nie Linyu muttered: "In this case, Daddy should report to the emperor, if you hide it, firstly, the people of Southern Xinjiang will suffer greatly, and secondly, if there is any talk in the future, I am afraid that it will not be good for Daddy." ”

Speaking of this, Nie Lin smiled, "Daddy is loyal to the emperor, how can he be afraid of the comparison between the two families of Wang and Nie?" I think my father is mainly worried, this matter is very important, but our news is from the mouth of the Lian family, I am afraid that I can't believe it. ”

Nie Wang Ye sighed and said: "You don't have to defend your father, your father is getting older and older, and he is always worried about you and your brother unconsciously, so the gains and losses are just as you said, this matter is not trivial, and it must be verified. ”

Nie Linyu's heart moved, "Daddy, if the emperor wants to send someone to investigate on the spot, Daddy might as well recommend His Royal Highness Prince Bao, and then recommend himself to help, Southern Xinjiang is originally a place where our Nie family has been stationed for generations, although the Nie family has been withdrawn for decades, there are still some old departments, so it is good for Daddy to go." ”

Prince Nie was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "You haven't given up yet, so optimistic about His Royal Highness the Seventh?" I don't hesitate to let our Nie family tie up with His Royal Highness the Seventh. ”

Nie Lin said with a straight face: "Daddy, Prince Bao is brave and strategic, and Meng Guifei's affection in the emperor's mind is also good, and he is not as flamboyant and domineering as the imperial concubine, and he will definitely be the throne in the future." ”

Prince Nie pondered for a long time, "His Royal Highness the Ninth is not bad, but it's a pity that the Lin family is too public, at this time, it is just the prince's foreign family, if you become the emperor's foreign family, I am afraid that it will be even more inch-by-inch, on the other hand, the Seventh Highness, the Meng family has always been very low-key, and Meng Ziqing is a great Confucian in the world, even if his grandson ascends the throne, it will not be like Lin Zhiyang." ”

Nie Lin was overjoyed, "What Daddy said is very true. ”

Nie Wang Ye said with a smile: "The fifth son of the Fu family is already the side concubine of the Seventh Highness, I heard that Qin Tianjian chose a good day at the end of this month to enter the mansion, isn't it for the sake of her future that you strongly support the Seventh Highness?" ”

Nie Linyu neither admitted nor denied it, "The matter of the fifth sister being a side concubine is already a certainty, if His Royal Highness the Ninth ascends the throne, with his temperament that will be retribution, our two families will definitely be unlucky." ”
