() The heavy rain was still pouring down, and Fu Moyu's voice was cold, "Commander Zhang, someone intends to assassinate the county lord, please leave ten people for me, I will take people to the front to investigate and see if I can find clues, you take the rest of the people to escort the county lord back to the house." ”

His identity at this time can already be regarded as the county master of Nie Wangfu, and when Nie Linyu did not object, Commander Zhang bowed down and obeyed, "Yes." ”

Princess Nie was worried about her daughter, so she asked Commander Zhang to bring out most of the guards in the house, there were hundreds of people, and they were all elites, but Fu Moyu only needed to take ten, Nie Linyu felt that it was too little, "You can bring more people." ”

Fu Moyu shook his head, "No need, there are too many people but the goal is big, ten people are enough, there are many people around you, so no one dares to step forward." ”

After speaking, he rode on the horse let out by Commander Zhang, and walked away with ten elites, Nie Linyu got into the carriage under the service of Bi Xi, and under the escort of hundreds of guards, he returned to the city with a hug, and the Nie family's Wang Qi came out, even if there were assassins in ambush, he did not dare to step forward.

It was so vast that everyone in the capital knew that the county lord of the Nie family had encountered an assassination.

Princess Nie's face was pale, regardless of the wind and rain, she personally stood at the gate of the palace to greet her, and when Nie Lin got out of the carriage, she immediately took her daughter into her arms, "You are really scared to death, go back and ride a horse, how can you still meet assassins?" ”

As he spoke, he looked his daughter up and down to make sure that she was intact, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again, "Where is Moyu?" Where did he go? ”

Nie Linyu didn't hide it, "Fu Moyu took a few guards in the mansion to chase after that group of assassins, to see if he could find some clues." ”

Princess Nie was very dissatisfied, "He is a scholar, what can he do to be so strong, what if there is a good one?" ”

He immediately ordered Commander Zhang, "The county lord has returned to the mansion, and I expect that the assassins will not dare to make trouble in the mansion again, you take someone to find Master Fu, and be sure to bring him back." ”

Commander Zhang led the order to go, and Princess Nie immediately gave a series of orders, asking people to put hot water to serve Nie Linyu to take a bath, let the kitchen cook ginger soup for Nie Linyu to drink, and ordered to ask the imperial doctor to instruct the people in the palace to turn around.

When the palace heard the news, they immediately sent someone to condole, and it was the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace who came, according to the custom

After a few words of comfort, he asked: "The emperor asked the old slave to ask the county lord, is there any clue about the person who committed the assassination?" ”

At this time, Nie Linyu had already taken a bath, and the imperial doctor had also come to cut the pulse, and came to the conclusion that there was nothing else except for the cold, and the prescription was not opened, Nie Linyu drank ginger soup, and Bi Xi stood with a big towel to wipe her hair.

Because it was an old eunuch and a eunuch beside the emperor, there was nothing to avoid, Nie Linyu was dressed in homely clothes, and said lightly: "The incident happened suddenly, and the county lord doesn't know who is here, and I think it has something to do with my father's extermination of the rebels in southern Xinjiang." ”

The eunuch's expression was grim, "Yes, our family will definitely report to the saint truthfully when we go back, a group of Xiaoxiao, who lost the battlefield in front, dared to fight the idea of the prince's beloved daughter, it is really an unforgivable sin." ”

When the eunuch left, Bi Xi asked puzzledly: "County Lord, don't you have two suspicions, is it because the imperial concubine is pregnant, so it is inconvenient for you to say?" ”

Nie Linyu nodded, "There are reasons for this, but it's not enough, the emperor lives in the palace, and all he sees is wealth and peace, so he can't help but ignore how the front-line soldiers fought bloodily, and what kind of suffering their families have to go through." ”

It is to take advantage of this opportunity to make the emperor deeply realize that the generals leading their troops to fight outside the territory will never be majestic, and they themselves, including their wives and daughters, are threatened with death at all times.

Bi Xi also felt the same way, gritted his teeth and said: "What you are saying is that not only the emperor, but also those civil officials and adults, only know the majesty of the military generals leading hundreds of thousands of troops, where do you know the sacrifices?" ”

"If you win the battle, it is the emperor's wisdom to use people, if you lose, it will be the command of the generals, how can this really be true."

Bi Xi is the son of Nie Wangfu, and his father was originally a confidant and personal guard of Nie Wangye, who died in the battle to leave the country.

Let's say that the eunuch returned to the palace to restore his life, and told the emperor Nie Linyu's words, and the emperor really sighed, "This is my negligence, Tingzhang took away his son on this trip, and the Nie family only has the princess and daughter left, which will inevitably give people an opportunity to take advantage of." ”

It happened that the Seventh Emperor Zizi was on his side, and when he heard this, he said: "Father, it is better to send some internal guards to Nie Wang's Mansion."

, Protecting Princess Nie and the Lord of Nanyang, Prince Nie will be grateful when he learns about it on the front line. ”

The emperor bowed his head, "Your proposal is very good, Tingzhang father and son have not lived up to me, some time ago, I reported that the rebellion in southern Xinjiang has been largely pacified, and there are only some stubborn people left, so there is nothing to fear." ”

Yuan Zixi hurriedly said: "Maybe it's because of this that they jumped over the wall in a hurry and wanted to assassinate the county lord of Nanyang, probably because of the idea of distracting Prince Nie." ”

The emperor pondered for a moment, "On the southern Xinjiang side, since the fight has been almost over, it is very important to let Tingzhang father and son come back, and the rest of the finishing things, Lao Qi, you go, sweep away the remnants of the rebels, appease the people, and restore the vitality of southern Xinjiang, these things will be left to you." ”

Yuan Zixi was overjoyed, this was an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but he was kind in the end, and he was only happy for a moment before saying: "Father, in this way, won't the son become a peach picker?" Prince Nie's father and son worked hard to quell the rebellion, but seeing that the end was over, the retainers went, I'm afraid it's not okay? ”

"Nothing bad." The emperor patted Yuan Zixi's shoulder, "You go, it's good for you to see more about the people's livelihood." ”

This sentence made Yuan Zixi confused, he didn't dare to think about it, and he was stunned for a long time before he answered in a low voice.

The imperial concubine knew it almost immediately, and immediately became furious, holding her belly that was about to give birth and losing her temper, "Which one is this?" Let the seventh child see the people's livelihood? Why didn't he just say that let Lao Qi be the prince! ”

The palace maid Jin'er hurriedly persuaded, "Niangniang, be quiet, the emperor just said it casually, maybe he doesn't have this idea, don't worry, it's better to send a letter back to the house, let the lord think of a way, and let our prince also find a chance to go out to practice." ”

The imperial concubine was still angry, frowned, raised her hand and swept down a teacup, "Go and call Mu'er." ”

As soon as the words fell, he held his stomach and shouted, "My stomach hurts so much, I'm afraid I'm going to give birth, go and invite the emperor!" ”

Jin'er was frightened, and spent a long time, feeling that her master didn't seem to be doing things through her stomach this time, as if she was really going to give birth, so she hurriedly sent someone to ask for a doctor, and she personally went to the Qianqing Palace to invite the emperor, and asked people to notify Yuan Zimu.
