The chief eunuch beside the old emperor was puzzled by the emperor's instructions, and took the initiative to take it.

"It's still the national teacher who has a heart! Much more heartfelt than those sons of mine! One by one, they only want to increase their influence in the court! Let's go! After the old emperor finished speaking, he walked out with his hands behind his back, and a pair of palace maids behind him immediately hurriedly followed, and the national teacher Dugu Luo sent the old emperor out of the door all the way, watching the old emperor's men and horses disappear, and then slowly returned to the door, and the little guys on both sides quickly closed the door.

At this time, Nan Xuanye was sorting out the files in the study, looking at the case sent by Cheng Yu, patting the table with both hands, and frowning at Cheng Yu in front of him: "When did this happen!" It's been so long, why are you reporting it now! Don't you feel late? ”

Cheng Yu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "Go back to Your Highness!" On the night of the arrest of Su Zhe, you came back from the queen's palace and kept borrowing wine to kill your sorrows, and your subordinates saw that you were in a bad mood, so you didn't let anyone bother you, who knows, something like this will happen! It's all Cheng Yu's fault, please punish His Highness! ”

"Who knows! You're right! Good one who knows! This is Xiao Wang, the prisoner I am responsible for detaining, and now the prisoner is on the night of detention, a child Su Jie died, Su Yan was punished on the Trojan horse, and Su Zhe, a heavy minister, was beaten and injured all over his body! Fortunately, the corpses were all disposed of! Otherwise, if my father investigates and asks, how can I answer Xiao Wang! "Nan Xuanye is really a little irritable, the whole person is not good, he finally removed the obstacle of Su Zhe, so that his career is better, and now he is even more careful to maintain and cherish his feathers, there can be no dirty water and sewage to attack him!."

Nan Xuanye stood up and walked to the window irritably, looked at the fallen leaves outside, rubbed his eyebrows with both hands, and stood for a while and looked at Cheng Yu behind him: "Go to Taifu yourself to get a penalty of twenty boards, don't open your ass flowers, don't come to see me!" Nan Xuanye stood up and looked at Cheng Yu behind him.

Cheng Yu's face immediately turned into a vegetable, but quickly returned to normal, and after a while, he whispered: "During the period when your subordinates are no longer there, who are you going to find to replace your subordinates?" ”

Nan Xuanye was originally angry in his heart, he is now bent on establishing a good political image, slowly getting rid of his father's vigilance against him, and is constantly trying to save it, now when he heard Cheng Yu's words, he suddenly wanted to laugh in his heart, but he still glared at Cheng Yu coldly, knocked his hands on the table a few times, and looked at Cheng Yu in front of him: "What reliable people are your friends in the rivers and lakes?" ”

"Actually, the battle song is not bad!" After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he quickly stopped his mouth, and before he finished speaking, Nan Xuanye's big palm had already slapped Cheng Yu's head, directly slapping Cheng Yu to the ground.

"You spare me, I recommend Miao Hope to you, he is the eldest disciple of the Yangtze River Gang, the Yangtze River Gang has always hoped that he can rely on the official family and have a good backing, this time it will be used as an opportunity, let him come, I will go to get the board after I write a letter to him!" Cheng Yu bowed his head and said.

"The chief disciple of the Yangtze River Sect? Is that good? As soon as you come, will it be too condescending to let the eldest disciple of the family be a guard? Nan Xuanye looked at Cheng Yu in front of him and asked cautiously.

"You think too highly of Miao Xi, he won't take over the Yangtze River faction, there is no plan to die of the Yangtze River gang, he wants to take a career!" Cheng Yu said bluntly.

"Then you mean, he wants to be a springboard from Xiao Wang and me, and then become an official in the court?" Nan Xuanye is the same as Spiegel in his heart, "You directly understand to him, Xiao Wang's career is also in an unstable state now, if you want to go further, you have to do the work that a guard should do, and Xiao Wang doesn't make any promises, and he doesn't have any plans for his career, if you want to achieve something, then do a good job of being a guard first, you let him think about it clearly, and then reply, if you can, I want to see him in three days!" ”

After Nan Xuanye finished speaking, he looked back at Cheng Yu.

"The subordinates understand what His Highness means, what you want is a loyal subordinate, not a politician who only cares about his career, and the subordinates will definitely bring the words!" Cheng Yu folded his hands and knelt on the ground with a serious expression.

"If you understand, go down!" After Nan Xuanye finished speaking, he walked out and walked towards the Sakura Snow Palace.

Cheng Yu drooped his head and went back to write a letter and took the board. When Nan Xuan walked to the Yingxue Palace at night, Xia Yinbing had already fallen asleep on the couch, for a month, her figure looked similar to usual, but her body was not as good as before, she would not run to the Hundred Beasts Garden in two or three days, she would vomit when she walked for a while, her appetite was poor, she couldn't eat anything, she vomited bile, her face was pale, except for sleeping, she didn't have the strength to toss a woman at all, so for a while, Xia Yinbing was very quiet and low-key, Almost invisible.

The people of Changchun Garden did not dare to take a step out of the gate, especially since the prince Nan Xuanye sent someone to secretly protect Xia Yinbing, there was no assassination anymore, and it was very quiet for a while.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, as long as Miss Xia gets through this period of time, she will slowly get better, this is a normal reaction of pregnant women, I can only let Miss Xia drink more nutritious soup and meat, Weichen has arranged some drugs to help Niangniang sleep, which will not have any impact on Niangniang's body, but the sleep time will be extended, and after the first month, it will feel better!"

"In terms of diet, it is still recommended to eat less and eat more, you can drink more ginger soup, and make more food that Xia Girl loves to eat, which will be better, especially to stay away from food with a pungent smell, eat less spicy, and quit drinking during pregnancy!" The old lady looked at Nan Xuanye's eyes, her body trembled slightly, and finally carefully added some.

"Doctor, you've worked hard, go down and rest!" Nan Xuanye sent the imperial doctor away, looked at Xia Yinbing in front of him, gently gathered the hair on Xia Yinbing's face behind his ears, covered Xia Yinbing with a quilt, and quickly walked out of Yingxue Palace.

When Nan Xuanye returned to the study, Cheng Yu suddenly ran in again and sent a secret letter to Nan Xuanye: "Look at it, this is the time when you have been busy dealing with Su Zhe's affairs in recent days, the latest information in the northern Xinjiang, the northern Xinjiang guard General Song Chengxuan has successfully recaptured the several states lost by the Great Zhou, but this time, the king of southern Xinjiang suddenly rushed to the northern Xinjiang overnight to support General Song, so this time the Xiongnu were beaten very badly and quickly retreated, and the king of southern Xinjiang did not go back this time, Instead, he and General Song Chengxuan came from the north to the direction of the capital at one time, and they should be able to get to the capital tomorrow! This is a secret letter from General Song Chengxuan to you! Cheng Yu said quickly.

"Looks like something has changed this time!" Nan Xuanye burned the secret letter in his hand, looked at Cheng Yu in front of him, and was still very uneasy in his heart.

"You don't have to be punished this time, but what happened to Su Zhe's family in the cell last time, Xiao Wang, I have recorded it for you, this is a booklet, you remember it, every mistake you make will be recorded for you, but you can rest assured, every good thing you do, Xiao Wang, I will also give you a note, the merit is not offset, the fault is the fault, the credit is the merit!" After Nan Xuanye finished speaking, he took out a brush and wrote a paragraph on the booklet, and Cheng Yu's head drooped even lower.

In the morning, the sky is not yet dawn, many days for the early Zhou Emperor Nan Wuyan, this time the day just dawned to start the early dynasty, many ministers in the court also crawled out of the warm quilt early, blowing the cold wind, came to the court, began to witness a reward.

Naturally, the people who were entitled were naturally the crown prince Nan Xuanye, who pacified the civil strife, Song Chengxuan, who pacified the war in northern Xinjiang, and Nan Yanlie, the king of southern Xinjiang, all the ministers polished their eyes and looked at the prince Nan Xuanye in front of them, Song Chengxuan, the eldest son of the military department, the guard general of Northern Xinjiang, and Nan Yanlie, the king of Southern Xinjiang, all of them are new forces and new power trends, of course, the two princes are the two princes, the crown prince Nan Xuanye and the third prince Nan Yanlie.

"This time, the traitor Su Zhe and the King of the Huns secretly colluded to exchange several states in the north for personal gain! The Xiongnu country had a bad time this year, there was a snow and ice disaster, a lot of cattle and sheep died, and the plague broke out in the autumn, and there was no food, so he started the idea of the Great Zhou, and bought the former prime minister with 50,000 taels of gold, and now the traitor Su Zhe, how did the 50,000 taels of gold come about? They pretended to be robbers in the north and robbed them for a long time! These are the hard-earned money of our people in northern Xinjiang and the business travelers who go to northern Xinjiang to do business! Now it's used to buy Su Zhe! ”

"Su Zhe, accepted the silver, and while I was practicing, the Xiongnu suddenly attacked the northern frontier, captured three states, burned, killed and looted! The loss is as high as 100,000 taels of gold, who will make up for the loss? "The old emperor began to ache when he said this! These are counted as enough for the people of Northern Xinjiang to live without worry for a few years!

"Although these Xiongnu were defeated, they also gained a lot of wealth, especially during the period when Su Zhe concealed it and did not report it, it was when the people and land of the Great Zhou were crying, where is the current head of Northern Xinjiang, how do you deal with it?" The old emperor asked Song Chengxuan and Nan Yanlie below.

"Back to the emperor! The chief of the northern Xinjiang was besieged and beaten to death in the mansion by the displaced people who broke out in the northern Xinjiang! Song Chengxuan bowed and said.

"Killed? That's the bloody truth! Things have developed to the point where the outcasts have rebelled? Where is the prestige of our Great Zhou officials? It's really a shame, now the people of Da Zhou have risen up to resist! ”

"The head of the northern Xinjiang doesn't care about things, corruption, colluded with Su Zhe and the king of the Huns, and is now beaten to death by the rebels. People, water too. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat! ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" At this time, His Royal Highness, hundreds of officials echoed together.

However, in this civil strife, the prince was meritorious, and promptly reported and arrested the traitor Su Zhe and his family, which was very happy; Secondly, in this rebellion in northern Xinjiang, Song Chengxuan guarded Song Chengxuan in northern Xinjiang, and the king of southern Xinjiang repelled the Xiongnu together, and settled the displaced people in northern Xinjiang in time, so that all the war and chaos were repaired in time, which is the biggest good thing, the country is stable, and the Great Zhou will be rich and strong! ”

"This time, I am also tired, from today onwards, the prince began to directly participate in political affairs, to assist me in dealing with the government, secondly, the crazy Song Chengxuan is the part-time head of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and has long monitored any movements of the Huns, and the king of Southern Xinjiang has made meritorious contributions to quelling the chaos, this time, I have allowed you to stay in the capital from now on, and it is still your duty to stay in the southern Xinjiang, and your mother will move out of the cold palace directly from tomorrow, arrange Changle Palace, and restore the title of the virtuous concubine!" The old emperor said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, father!" Nan Yanlie knelt in front of the old emperor Nan Wuyan at the moment, he was speechless with excitement in his heart, his hands were a little trembling, although he still looked cowardly, his face was almost full of tears, his whole body was trembling, he wanted to prostrate on the ground, and the hundred officials around him were stunned.

But many people also slowly smelled the smell and began to understand that the emperor wanted to reuse the king of southern Xinjiang! This is a great thing, they must have a good relationship with the king of southern Xinjiang in the future, the emperor is clearly using the king of southern Xinjiang to contain the prince, so that the prince does not dare to be too angry.

At this time, the king of southern Xinjiang was in a good mood, with tears in his eyes, and the scenery was infinite, and Song Chengxuan, who was rewarded, was also compared gloomily. “

"Thank you, father!" Nan Xuanye had a faint smile on his face, his eyes glanced at the third prince Nan Yanlie opposite, and the hands hidden in his sleeves quietly clenched and released, clenching again!

The early dynasty soon dispersed, and when the southern prince Nan Xuanye came out, most of the hundred officials in the court began to congratulate him, and they all began to approach around the prince Nan Xuanye, but there were still many officials who walked directly in front of the third prince Nanjiang King to congratulate.

When Nan Xuanye was walking towards the palace of the harem queen, Nan Yanlie's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Big brother! Wait a minute! Wait a minute! ”

Nan Xuanye had just turned around, and at this time, Nan Yanlie, the king of Southern Xinjiang, walked up to the crown prince Nan Xuanye with an excited face and said: "Big brother, why are you walking so fast, I can't catch up, why do you see that the third brother and I stay in the capital, you have another opponent, and you are unhappy?" ”

Prince Nan Xuanye was slightly stunned, looked at the person opposite and smiled heartily, and also smiled: "Yes, you started to stay in the capital as soon as you came, I really feel a lot of pressure, in case you also want to snatch the position of the prince, then I don't have to worry?" You tell me? ”

"Big brother, do you mean it really?" Nan Yanlie looked frightened and looked at Nan Xuanye in front of him carefully.

"Third brother, are you serious? What you said really shocked Big Brother! Nan Xuanye also looked frightened.

"Just kidding, of course! The younger brother is the green onion, it is too late to respect and love the prince, the younger brother sincerely hopes that the eldest brother can support his father more in the future, he is really old and needs the help of the eldest brother! Nan Yan Lie, the king of Southern Xinjiang, bowed down and said.

"Then the eldest brother will also need the help of the third brother in the future! Our brothers will take care of the world of this big week together! The crown prince Nan Xuanye helped up Nan Yanlie's body, patted him on the shoulder, and pulled him towards the harem together.

At this time, the two brothers separated directly, the crown prince Nan Xuanye came directly to the queen's palace, and the third prince Nanjiang Wang walked directly in the direction of the cold palace.

At this time, the king of Nanjiang had just turned the corner, walked to the side and looked at the direction of the crown prince Nan Xuanye, and the corners of his lips hooked a touch of firmness: "Nan Xuanye, my Nan Yanlie is back!" ”

Then Nan Yan Lie directly accelerated his pace and walked towards the direction of the cold palace, through a prosperous garden, through several courtyards of the favored concubine, Nan Yan Lie quickly walked towards the southeast corner of the palace, a dilapidated and barren courtyard, the closer to the cold palace, the more bleak the place passed, the courtyard of the favorite concubine was spotless and clean, on the other hand, the cold palace was sparsely populated, the fallen leaves were spread layer after layer, and his feet made a creaking sound when he stepped on it, when he walked in front of the cold palace door, There was no one else in front of him except for a few older eunuchs guarding him.

"Who are you? Strange men are forbidden to break into the harem, and the cold palace is even more forbidden! The gray-haired eunuch looked at Nan Yanlie in front of him and asked loudly.

Nan Yanlie was not angry, smiled slightly, directly took out the sign symbolizing the king of Nanjiang, walked in, and looked carefully at the two old eunuchs in front of him, the two figures stared at the sign carefully for a while, and after making sure that it was not fake, the thin and tall eunuch's expression immediately changed greatly: "The slave is clumsy!" Meet the King of Southern Xinjiang! ”

"The old slave greets the prince!" Another chubby old eunuch knelt on the ground and began to salute, but when he was old, it was easy to kneel, and when he thought about it, it was very difficult.

Nan Yanlie didn't bother to talk to the two old eunuchs in front of him, so he walked in directly and asked loudly, "My mother, where is Concubine Xian?" ”

"Back to the prince, Concubine Xian Niangniang has already been welcomed into Changle Palace by someone sent by the emperor, you are a step too late!" The fat old eunuch just finished speaking, the person in front of him had long disappeared, and ran in the direction of Changle Palace, the two old eunuchs only saw that there was a flying leaf in front of them, and there were still falling leaves in the air, and the wind blew in, blowing up the fallen leaves in front of him, falling on the ground, blowing up again, falling again, and repeatedly.

When Nan Yanlie rushed into Changle Palace, he heard the palace from a distance, and there was a sound of laughter inside and outside, many concubines went in and out with generous gifts on their backs, celebrating the virtuous concubine who had just returned to the palace, and some people specially prepared a brazier, so that the virtuous concubine could cross the brazier and usher in new good luck.

Nan Yanlie was in a violent mood, his eyes gradually moistened, quietly hid by the door, and quietly observed the scene of the middle-aged woman dressed in red, gray hair, and thin body from the crowd under the echo of the crowd, slowly raising her legs and stepping over the brazier, her hands on the door frame, there was a trace of sourness, he almost couldn't believe that the scene in front of him would really appear, after more than ten years, he watched his mother and concubine being taken away from a few years old and locked in the cold palace.

Now, as an adult, he used his own strength to save his mother, when he really saw it, there was a kind of timid strangeness, he didn't dare to rush in, and he kept hiding outside, until the crowd of celebrations slowly walked away, and the surroundings gradually quieted Xia Li, he slowly revealed the figure.

It's just that when he raised his head, he was stunned, the woman in red clothes in front of him, slowly came to him with the support of the maid, the woman in front of him looked from the front, the obvious aging of the face, the face was full of wrinkles, the eyes looked a lot darker, it looked lifeless, like a persimmon with rich juice, after years of polishing and bright, the juice gradually dried up, leaving only dry wrinkled skin, it looked, old, without any life, giving people a sense of decadence!
