Chapter 238: A Great Gift
There seems to be a figure flashing through the window.
"Who is it" Feng Tianwan shouted, and hurriedly got out of bed to check.
There was no one outside the window.
Only the snow drifted by, Feng Tianwan's hand was slightly stiff, and then she saw that there seemed to be a note flying in the corner, she quickly grabbed it and took a look, and her mood was instantly complicated.
After shaking her mind slightly, she hurriedly burned the note, leaving no trace.
The closest to the imperial city in the south is Anyang, the fief of the Marquis of Anyang, who was rewarded by Emperor Qi Ming, who sent 50,000 soldiers and horses to support the imperial city or go to the south.
Nan Xuanmin previously issued an edict, but Anyang Hou did not respond.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, someone came to the palace, saying that it was a New Year's gift from Nan Xuanmin. Anyang Hou is very disdainful, rumors have spread all over the Qi country, Nan Xuanmin is just a wild species, what he rewards, Anyang Hou still feels dirty.
The eunuch still greeted him with a smile, as if he didn't see the impatience of the Marquis of Anyang, and said, "Lord Hou, Your Majesty has always been thinking about you, and specially ordered the servants to come in a hurry, and finally, I can give this generous gift to Lord Hou on the first day of the Lunar New Year." ”
An Yanghou sat on the Taishi's chair, took a sip of hot tea, and then looked at the wooden box held by the eunuch, which was unremarkable, and knew at a glance that it was not a valuable thing.
He has always rarely fought for power, but this time the eldest princess of Liyang had sent a letter to him in advance, and he also planned to stand still and observe the situation.
"Hmph, Your Majesty is looking down on people" Anyang Hou said coldly, "The New Year's gift given by the first emperor often has two large boxes, you will come over with a wooden box today, this is a generous gift, although I am only a small feudal marquis, but there is no shortage of things"
The eunuch listened to the sarcastic words, his smile did not change, and he hurriedly stepped forward, "Master Hou will know at a glance." ”
He opened the wooden box, revealing a strand of hair first.
An Yanghou was a little puzzled, got up and looked forward.
With just one glance, An Yanghou was so frightened that he stepped back, and his face was slightly pale, obviously frightened.
He thought that Nan Xuanmin had sent him some gold, silver and jewelry, but he had never thought of the head of Prince Mu
After being surprised, An Yanghou couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and he laughed wildly, "Villain, you are finally dead"
The eunuch was a little stunned, this is really as Nan Xuanmin said, An Yanghou will definitely be happy when he sees the head, but the eunuch feels that Anyanghou is like a madman at the moment.
When Anyang Hou had laughed enough, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty's gift, you really put your mind into it"
"Your Majesty knows that this person had a holiday with Hou Ye many years ago, and His Majesty attaches great importance to Hou Ye, so he avenged this little revenge for Hou Ye today." The eunuch said.
"Okay, good" An Yanghou said a few good words in a row, and then looked at the head in the wooden box, sneering in his heart.
Back then, Prince Mu relied on his civil and military skills and humiliated him many times, causing him to become a laughing stock in the imperial city. Although many years have passed, the Marquis of Anyang has always kept it in mind, and wants to find an opportunity to repay the humiliation of the day, precisely because there are rumors that Nan Xuanmin is the wild seed of Prince Mu, so he is unwilling to obey Nan Xuanmin's edict.
If a son kills his father, he will be punished by heaven, and it seems that the rumors are false. Moreover, in order to win him over, Nan Xuanmin killed the villain Mu Wangye, how could Anyang Hou be unhappy.
Seeing this, the eunuch said again, "Master Hou, Your Majesty has already expressed his sincerity, I don't know Lord Hou"
Anyang Hou knew what it meant, he bowed his head slightly, and said; "When does Your Majesty want to mobilize troops and horses?"
"Your Majesty means that it is the Chinese New Year, and if you attack at this time, you can just catch those traitors off guard" The eunuch conveyed Nan Xuanmin's will.
When Anyang Hou heard this, he secretly admired Nan Xuanmin, where is this like what others said about the straw bale emperor, it seems that he can't fulfill the promise of the eldest princess of Liyang.
It's just that in this troubled world, only the victor is qualified to write the history books, and the loser doesn't even have a place to be buried.
The Marquis of Anyang was still a little evasive, and said, "I don't know what tricks Your Majesty has to deal with King Chen"
The corners of the eunuch's mouth hooked, and the smile became more and more cold, "Please rest assured, Lord Hou, King Chen suffers from blood Gu, and it is not enough to be troubled." His Majesty has already figured out a way to deal with him, to ensure that nothing goes wrong, and the Hou Ye only needs to send troops. ”
The Marquis of Anyang had a hard time holding his breath in the first half of his life, and now he is helping Nanxuan Min to quell the chaos, and he will definitely be famous all over the world
"Okay, I will immediately order the reorganization of the soldiers and horses, and obey Your Majesty's orders," An Yanghou said.
The fifth day of the first month.
The heavy snow finally stopped, and it was rare to see a trace of sunshine.
The eldest princess of Liyang specially prepared a small family banquet, and when it was ready for the New Year, before everyone had eaten a few bites of food, a guard outside hurriedly ran in.
The guard was a little flustered, and he stumbled under his feet and fell to the ground. He quickly got up again, half-knelt, and said, "Oh no, no, the barracks has been raided."
"What" Marquis Feng was the first to speak in surprise, and couldn't help but stand up.
Nan Xuanchen and Nan Lao Weng and the others also frowned, they were actually attacked at this juncture, if there was a large army approaching from the imperial city, the spies would definitely return.
"Didn't the spies reciprocate?" asked Nan Xuanchen.
"The wind and snow have been too strong in the past two days, and when the spies find out, that elite army is already approaching." The guard said, "Now there are 30,000 soldiers and horses with heavy casualties, and Nan Xuanmin has also mobilized all the troops in the south, it seems that he wants to take us by surprise."
The crowd was silent.
It is precisely because it is not easy to fight in winter that they slack off a little.
I didn't expect Nan Xuanmin to be a powerful person, and he gathered soldiers and horses so quickly to attack at this juncture.
"How many soldiers and horses does Nan Xuanmin have," Nan Xuanye hurriedly asked.
"Fifty thousand," the guard replied, "It's the soldiers and horses of the Marquis of Anyang."
"Anyang Hou" Liyang eldest princess frowned, full of disbelief, "How could it be that I sent a message to him before, and he said that he would not support Nan Xuanmin, but now why did he suddenly change his hexagram?"
Feng Qian listened to it and frowned slightly.
That Anyang Hou is a short-tempered person, and he won't easily follow Nan Xuanmin's orders, isn't it
Her mind moved slightly, and it happened that at this time, Su Liu also walked in and solved the confusion for everyone, "Just now the secret agent reported, Nan Xuanmin sent someone to send the head of Prince Mu to the fief of Anyang Hou, and when Anyang Hou saw the head, he immediately sent troops to support him. ”
That's true
Feng Tianwan couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Counting the days, Nan Xuanmin still sent the head on the first day of the new year. He was right that day, Nan Xuanmin had suffered so many losses, and he had already been out of the blue, but he had never revealed much.
exchanged his biological father's head for the support of princes and generals, and he was really a fast and ruthless person.
Hearing this, everyone's faces became ugly and pale, they thought that Prince Mu should die on the battlefield, but now he was killed by Nan Xuanmin as a bargaining chip, which is really embarrassing
