Chapter 102: Meaning
Blocking the world's mouths?
Is it blocked? The old emperor was not such a dull person.
"The emperor is not such a restrained person," Yan Qinyuan smiled lightly, "It's not so much that he wants to give an explanation to the people of the world, but that what he wants to give most is an explanation to himself."
Xiao Qiyuan was stunned, raised his head violently, stared at Yan Qinyuan deadly, his heart that had always been calm and steady gradually beat hard, and he tried to calm down for a long time before he said slowly: "What Miss Yan said is true." ”、
He looked at Yan Qinyuan and said tentatively: "The Yan family has always been low-key, if General Dou is bright, then the Yan family is dark, yin and yang check and balance each other, and maintain the peace of Nanshu for a hundred years." It stands to reason that the Yan family should not have come to this point, leaving Miss Yan alone, adding a little sorrow. ”
"When Tadagan attacked, the neighboring soldiers were known as the most powerful Khan in Tadagan for thousands of years, General Dou was good at martial arts, if he was against him, it was Tadagan who was invincible for a while, and in the end, it would be General Dou Lao who lost."
"The first emperor was seriously ill and was no longer able to command, and he was wary of the old emperor who was still the crown prince, and he didn't listen to the words of the old emperor to go to the army, and he endured it for a few days, and my father couldn't stand it." Yan Qinyuan lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes covered her eye sockets, "Nanshu is in danger, my father has a huge responsibility, and he can't shirk it, so he can only take hundreds of people from the Yan family to the border of Nanshu overnight, meet with General Dou, and discuss the decision overnight, so that he has the ability to continue to pull down with Tadagan." ”
"Elder Yan is indeed a genius and a role model for my generation, but it's a pity," Xiao Qiyuan sighed and shook his head: "Losing two major boosts overnight has greatly damaged Nanshu's vitality. ”
But this made the two forces like a mess of sand, from the marginalization began to dispute, the dispute became bigger and bigger, the old emperor was tired of coping, so he used thunder means to recover the strength of both sides.
Although the two people died, the surrounding relatives were not vegetarians, the old emperor was extremely tired of receiving this power, and when his strength plummeted, there was a part of the foreign power left outside, and when he wanted to take it back, he found that the other party had been deeply rooted, and if he wanted to pull it up, he would have to shed a blood.
The old emperor had had enough of this bloodletting day, and seeing that they couldn't make any big waves, he let them go.
But who in power would want to let others sleep on their couch? Even if there is no threat, after a long time, the ideas will naturally increase.
Xiao Qiyuan frowned, and couldn't help but say, "It is rumored that Old General Dou is a lonely. One of them, when he was a child, met General Jiang and was rescued by General Jiang, and then he has been following General Jiang all the time, but I have never heard of any relatives from him. “
"The poor have no close friends in Beijing, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains," Yan Qinyuan smiled indifferently, "Presumably Lord Xiao, he has a deep understanding." ”
The corners of Xiao Qiyuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Yan Qinyuan with a hint of coldness.
Of course he does.
The Xiao family is just an ordinary family, three generations of farmers, not to mention a leader, even a scholar has never been a scholar.
It was his father's generation that the old man went out and licked his old face, so that he had such an opportunity to develop in the capital.
It's a pity that in the end, he was tired and tired, and soon he was unwilling to die, leaving him and his mother to live alone. The old mother brought herself up with hard work, poured out all her family property, and finally got a chance to enter the palace.
And he, by chance, seized that opportunity to perform brilliantly in front of the old emperor and got his current status.
In the past, when only their mother and son were left, even the neighbors around them had not seen their kind faces, let alone those distant relatives.
Since he became the commander, there have been quite a few people who have come to visit the mansion in recent days, including many distant relatives he never knew.
Xiao Qiyuan was sarcastic in his heart, but more self-satisfied, he was fed up with the white eyes he had encountered over the years, he liked the extravagant life, and he liked this supreme power.
Therefore, he was very flattering to the old emperor, for fear that the old emperor would be unhappy and dismiss himself, if he drove himself out of the palace, he was accustomed to high places, where could he stand low-lying and humble?
Not to mention marrying Dou Qingshuang, there can only be Dou Qingshuang alone in this life, and Xiao Qiyuan will definitely not refuse, she will definitely be clean and self-conscious for the rest of her life, and she will be alone.
Xiao Qiyuan knew in his heart that what could make the old emperor so taboo was nothing more than Dou Qingshuang's identity as the old general Dou Shuang's legacy and the unique army behind her.
The identity was given by Nanshu, and it was easy to take it back, but that unique branch was the most tricky, not that it could be recovered if it was recovered.
It is rumored that this army supported General Dou Lao to take the prince of Tadagan in one fell swoop, forcing the Great Khan of Tadagan to lead his troops back thousands of miles to take the lead, and then won the battle.
Tada is extremely fierce, treacherous and cunning, and he has been gritted his teeth by this army, and there is nothing he can do, let alone the old emperor who has been raised in the deep palace all the year round and his limbs are about to lie down.
The old emperor was wary of this.
But for so many years, no one knows the whereabouts of that army, and Xiao Qiyuan has also secretly investigated a lot, but in the end he couldn't find the slightest trace.
Yan Qinyuan glanced at him, with a decent smile on the corner of her lips, took out a box from her cuff, handed it to Xiao Qiyuan, and said softly: "Lord Xiao's concerns, Qin Yuan knows, before making a decision, it is better to take a look at this." ”
It is a well-made agarwood box, the tentacles are warm and cool, exuding an extremely good fragrance, hollowed out and carved with four-legged auspicious beasts, mysterious and awe-inspiring.
Xiao Qi's eyelids jumped inexplicably, and he opened the box, and there was a black jade lying inside, the surface of which was polished extremely smooth, reflecting a strange light.
"This, this is," Xiao Qiqi felt that his heart was in his throat, and his hand holding the brocade box trembled slightly, as if he couldn't believe what he saw in front of him, "Divine Soldier Jade Order, you, how can you have it?" ”
He had heard the old emperor say that since the founding of Nanshu, there has always been a strong army trained secretly, they only recognize the jade order and do not recognize the person, and they will obey the order to whoever the jade order is.
The emperor personally handed over to his trusted military ministers, so that the military ministers could replace the imperial family and defend the imperial family from the suppression and humiliation of other countries.
The first emperor favored Dou Chunting, so he handed over this jade order to him, and the army branch that the old emperor tabooed was the army branch that had been guarding Nanshu for thousands of years.
It's a pity that Dou Chunting died too quickly and suddenly, and there was not much time left for the old emperor at all. It wasn't until the appearance of the woman of the Dou family that he had a glimmer of hope.
It's just that the other party is a weak woman, and the old emperor doesn't bother to take it by force at all, which will make him feel that doing this is a loss of the emperor's manners.
So he thought of a compromise to marry Dou Qingshuang, so that Xiao Qiyuan would naturally inherit this military branch, and then return this military branch to Nanshu.
"That should have been Nanshu's thing, but now it has returned to its original owner," Yan Qinyuan wiped the fine sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, "Now Lord Xiao, you don't have to worry about the rest of your life, and you will spend it with people you don't like." ”
With Dou Qingshuang's current status, he is not even as good as being his concubine, but because of the words of the old emperor, he can sit on the throne of Xiaofu's mother-in-law, don't say Jiang Hanling, even he can't bear it.
"Miss Yan is so righteous, Xiao will definitely report to the emperor truthfully," Xiao Qi's smile appeared on his face, and he was unspeakably happy, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said easily: "If you come next, the emperor will be relieved." ”
Yan Qinyuan smiled but did not speak.
At this time, Xiao Qi's henchmen ran in, knelt on one knee, looked more panicked, a trace of cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and said in a low voice: "My lord, it's not good." ”
For so many days, Xiao Qiqi didn't seem to hear good news, and he couldn't help but whisper: "Didn't you see that I was discussing something important with the county lord?" I don't know what to do, go back to the punishment department and get the punishment by myself! ”
"Yes!" The subordinate wiped the sweat on his forehead and said in a deep voice: "In the place where the list is released in Beijing, the people within a hundred miles have inexplicably poisoned their mouths, and now they are all lying in front of the emperor's list, as if they are in extreme pain, and the doctors and doctors dare not come forward!" ”
The road on the Huangbang, but the area he is responsible for, has not happened since Xiao Qiyuan took office.
Now that it was so serious, Xiao Qi, who was so frightened, stood up violently and said angrily: "Useless rice bucket!" I can't do this thing well, what do I want you to do!? ”
The subordinates lowered their heads even lower, "Fortunately, Miss Dou was present at the time, and she has healed all the people in the field!" ”
"Miss Dou ....." Xiao Qi was stunned, staring at his subordinates, and said with a hint of uncertainty: "Miss Dou family? ”
Yan Qinyuan's eyelids on the side jumped, and the heart fly had a bad feeling, and sure enough, he heard his subordinate say: "Exactly." ”
If it was in the past, Xiao Qiyuan must have been skeptical, but now that even his subordinates have seen it with their own eyes, then he has to believe it.
Yan Qinyuan shook the thin fan, her eyes fell on Xiao Qiyuan's face, and when she saw him frowning, she smiled silently, took a sip of the tea in front of her, and pulled the chess pieces one by one in the chess game in front of her with some boredom.
For them, it doesn't matter if they win or lose, the important thing is to enjoy the whole process, then this life is not in vain.
"Lord Xiao is busy with affairs, so the county lord won't send it." Yan Qinyuan beckoned, a little maid immediately came to her to quietly add tea to her, Yan Qinyuan looked at the blue tea, with a hint of joy, "When Lord Xiao is free, it's not too late to get together again." ”
Xiao Qiyuan's heart jumped slightly, and his eyes were a little crazy, although he had read countless women over the years, it was rare to see a superb like Yan Qinyuan. ‘
Even if he knew that this woman was not simple and knew that he was using himself, Xiao Qiyuan still softened his mind when facing her.
When he walked to the door with his subordinates, he suddenly stopped, turned his head, looked at Yan Qinyuan and said, "Miss Yan, what do you want?" ”
