154 Three years later
After sending away their grandmother and brother-in-law, Hua Minyun and Nangong Mo closed the door and lived their own small lives.
In the blink of an eye, three years have passed, which can be regarded as a rare peaceful day for Nangong Mo and Hua Minyun. But, for others, probably not so.
First in the Southern Desert, the war continued, with the help of Li Fei, with the Longtian and Yaoxi tribes, coupled with the fierce death of Kehan, in three years, they seized one-third of Ruyeni's power.
Moreover, there is a tendency for Kahan to become more and more courageous. According to this trend, in less than three years, half of the southern desert will have to go into the pockets of Kehan.
And Ruyeni, Hua Minyun always felt that in this life, he was no longer as heroic and invincible as in his previous life.
Maybe it's because he lost his right hand.
And the situation of Great Wei is even more serious than that of the Southern Desert.
The emperor became even more ill, and had to endure headaches for at least two hours a day.
However, he is so painful and can't die, this is his pain and torture, why not torture the people and officials of Great Wei?
Nowadays, there is no doctor at all in the Tai Hospital, because he can't cure the head disease, he was killed by the emperor.
The Great Wei Dynasty reached the point where everyone talked about medicine, and there was a doctor in the family, who did not hesitate to leave the family away, incognito, as if fleeing, leaving Bianjing City, which was once longed for by everyone.
Such a scenario is not the most ridiculous.
The emperor is no longer in court, but he is becoming more and more suspicious and nervous.
He doesn't care about state affairs at all, and he doesn't have the energy to take care of it. However, he didn't care about it himself, and he didn't let the ministers interfere, as if he might take away his country.
Following the example of the previous dynasty, he raised a group of brocade guards, who were under the command of his henchman, the Grand Governor of Laifu, who acted as his thugs, as well as secret guards and spies to spy on his ministers.
In just a few years, several ministers were labeled as rebels and were killed by the Jinyi guards.
Both the people and the ministers were disturbed by him, and they couldn't even find a place to catch medicine when they were sick.
It can be described as a depression in all industries, a scene of decay and death.
The officials forced the people to rebel, and the people couldn't survive anymore, so they naturally had to rebel.
Small-scale uprisings were frequent.
Even more problematic is the issue of borders.
In the past few years, Xu has seen the civil strife in the Great Wei, and the surrounding countries feel that it is profitable, and they have become more and more rampant.
Beicang State and the Xuanwu Army have broken out several major disputes, although the Du family army is brave, but as time grows, the imperial court does not give any support, presumably the Du family is also very hard to maintain!
I just received the news a few days ago that Du Ruzhong, the old general of the Du family, has re-emerged from the mountain.
Thinking of the old man who fell silent after going through the world and returned to his roots, he had to shoulder the burden of the Du family again, and you can see how hard the Du family has supported this war.
Similar to the Xuanwu Army, the Suzaku Army did not dare to slack off, although Kehan was bent on attacking Ruyeni, but Ruyeni was not so concentrated.
After Nisubu, he supported a henchman named Bian Chu, made him a general, deployed 150,000 soldiers and horses, and fought with the Suzaku army several times.
Bian gradually is different from Nisub, he has more brains and is more powerful than Nisub.
There is a lot of ability to march and fight.
As a last resort, the Suzaku Army united with Governor Qian and General Han to establish the Qishan camp, and the Qishan side became their main battlefield.
There is no way, the court doesn't care about them, and each place can only go its own way, and if you don't save yourself, you will be killed by the enemy.
After the three princes of Xixiang Kingdom succeeded to the throne last year, they also began to frequently disturb the border, and the soldiers and horses of General Chen Shu of the White Tiger Army were also in an emergency.
And the Shen family of the Qinglong Army in the east is close to the sea, I don't know what's going on, pirates have been rampant in recent years. The Blue Dragons are busy suppressing pirates every year.
Even so, the people there struggled in pain, often slaughtering and killing people by pirates who raided ashore.
Today's Great Wei is simply embattled, but the emperor has no intention of asking.
He still did not appoint a crown prince, and even had the intention of conniving at the princes to fight each other, and the relationship between several princes had reached the level of tension.
King Qin and King Lian both came out, and three months ago, the two of them gathered some followers and men and horses to do a battle outside the city.
King Qin's leg was broken, and King Lian won a big victory.
In this regard, the emperor actually didn't know, as if he didn't know that his son who was imprisoned had come out, and he didn't know that his son had reached the point of being in the same room.
His behavior fueled their arrogance, and none of them, whether it was King Qin, King Yi, King Lian, or King Li, could stand alone.
And that's just the beginning.
Both Hua Minyun and Nangong Mo knew that the emperor was following the example of his father Wei Taizu and deciding the next monarch in a way similar to that of the Nanzhao people.
It's just that today's Dawei can still bear this? The kingdom is gone, what heirs are there to talk about? The King of the Dead?
These are man-made disasters.
In addition to man-made disasters, there are also natural disasters, the treasury is empty, and the Great Wei is already in turmoil.
And Nanzhao, although it is not calm, can barely find a temporary place to live in the cracks.
Over the years, the Nanzhao royal family has been busy fighting in the nest, and the people of Nanmo have already stood on their land openly, fighting with the Vermilion Bird Army of the Xie family, and no one cares about them.
Nanzhao, except for miasma, poisonous insects and the like, there is nothing particularly worthy of coveting by others.
This is probably the reason why Nanzhao can still be a little peaceful for the time being.
Nanzhao horses are famous far and wide, but today's Nanzhao royal family can no longer raise good Nanzhao horses, if you want to say where there are herds of Nanzhao horses, it has to be in Hua Minyun's horse farm.
Although the Southern Desert horse is not as good as the Southern Zhao horse, but the Southern Desert is not short of horses at all, although the Southern Desert horse is not as majestic and mighty as the Southern Zhao horse, but the people are not bad, and compared to the difficult to raise the Southern Zhao horse, the Southern Desert horse is not only prolific but also easy to feed very much.
It was Da Wei who was really busy fighting and lacked horses, but the emperor didn't care.
With Hua Minyu here, no one who lacks horses will be able to take the turn of the Xie family and the Suzaku Army who are fighting with the Southern Desert.
As for the other horses that lack horses to fight, because of the problem of geography and distance, they can't covet Nanzhao's horses.
Therefore, no one will attack Nanzhao because of the lack of horses.
However, Hua Minyun knew that it was just that both sides couldn't free up their hands.
When Nan Mo and Da Wei fight to determine the winner and loser, with Ruyeni's temperament, if he wins, he will be able to clean up Nanzhao by turning his head.
However, Hua Minyun knows that the troubled times have come, and no one can be left alone!
What's more, whether it is Nangong Mo or Hua Minyun, they have never thought of being alone.
They are just hibernating, waiting for the right moment.
Now, the time has come.
A few days ago, Hua Minyu received news from Bianjing City, and the Hua family is now in danger.
Everyone in the world knows that the Hua family has silver, but now that it is robbed, what has the world become?
In the past three years, the Hua family has been planning to escape, and most of their belongings have already been transferred.
On the bright side, he followed the crowd to buy a caretaker home, hoarded grain and grass, and prepared for self-protection.
These are not abrupt, as long as there is a little bit of power, at this time, they are looking for capable caretakers everywhere, in order to save their lives.
Hua Minyun's shop, including all the shops of the Hua family, was closed.
In troubled times, human life is like mustard, silver and shops are the least valuable things, and the most valuable things are food and manpower.
However, these are all easy to do, but they can't leave.
The Emperor's brocade guards stared at them.
Specifically, it should be to keep an eye on all their officials.
All officials, including dukes and earls, are not allowed to leave Beijing, and if they do, they will be punished for treason.
This is the right granted by the emperor to Jinyiwei.
The Hua family couldn't, so they had to live their lives behind closed doors, the Xie family was far away in the southwest, and Hua Minyu was in Nanzhao, far from the time when they exposed their strength to startle the snake.
However, in the past few years, those Jinyi guards have either come to Huajia to "borrow" silver, or King Qin, King Lian and King Li have come to "borrow" silver.
In this matter, the Hua family gave some more or less in the spirit of calming things down, as long as they were passable, plus the deterrence of Princess Duanning and King Yijun, they didn't dare to go too far.
However, this year, there is a more and more serious trend, last time, Li Wang directly led people to rush in, forcing Hua Minyun's eldest uncle Hua Bingyan to take 50,000 taels of silver tickets to him, and also injured several nurses of the Hua family.
Although Hua Minyun knew that there was Wu Xing watching them, the Hua family's life was not in danger for the time being. But in addition to being angry, she also knew that it was time for her to go back.
In case one day, the emperor goes crazy, it is really hard to say whether he will drag the Hua family with the brocade guards to accompany the funeral.
When the time comes, how will they resist?
And Hua Minyun knew that Nangong Mo also had the idea of returning to Beijing.
Every time he received a letter from Bianjing, he was so angry that he couldn't even eat.
At night, I have to hold her, talk night after night, and can't sleep.
Hua Minyun knew that he was angry and heartbroken.
It has not been 50 years since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, and it feels like it is coming to an end.
Nangong Mo is not sorry for Taizu, and naturally he does not sympathize with his brother.
He couldn't stand the bloodlessness and selfishness of the Nangong family.
and heartache for the displaced people.
Hua Minyun also empathizes, at least half of the world is fought by the Xie family.
The soldiers fought with their lives, but they were defeated by the people of the Nangong family.
And those people are even more pitiful, only a few years have passed?
Hua Minyun knew that Nangong Mo had been making preparations.
From many years ago, Nangong Mo had a team of soldiers and horses, which had 50,000 soldiers, and later in Nangong Mo's hands, it grew to 100,000.
This army started from the Xie family, but it did not belong to the Vermilion Bird Army.
They were the personal soldiers of Empress Dowager Xie's father, and later Grandpa Xie handed over this personal army to Empress Dowager Xie.
Later, when they were fighting the world, they were organized in the Suzaku Army and followed the Empress Dowager Xie to help Taizu fight the world.
Later, when Empress Dowager Xie entered the palace, this personal army disappeared.
No one knew where these soldiers were, and Taizu didn't know either, only Grandpa Xie and Empress Dowager Xie knew.
Taizu never knew that this personal army did not belong to the Suzaku Army.
didn't know that the war was over, Grandpa Xie stripped these people from the Vermilion Bird Army and handed them over to the Empress Dowager Xie.
This is the hand left by the scheming grandfather Xie, but he didn't expect that one day this hand would really come in handy.
This army of soldiers and horses has long been disarmed and returned to the field by Empress Dowager Xie.
The soldier talisman was given to Nangong Mo by Empress Dowager Xie.
A long time ago, when Nangong Mo wanted to rebel in order to protect himself, he recruited him back.
Nangong Mo didn't hide all of this from Hua Minyun at all, and told her everything.
These days, Nangong Mo spends most of his time training soldiers and horses, and Hua Minyun knows that this is Nangong Mo actively preparing.
Nangong Mo is waiting, waiting for the child in Hua Min's womb to be born.
At this time, Hua Minyun was busy in the horse farm on the other side of the South China Sea.
I saw Nangong Mo coming over in a hurry.
Seeing that Hua Minyun was busy, he frowned, stepped forward, and supported Hua Minyun, but his tone was very gentle: "Didn't you ask you not to work here?" Although these are foals, they are not ambiguous when they kick people, what can you do if you kick them? ”
Hua Minyun patted Nangong Mo's hand, knowing that he cared about him, and he was very useful: "Don't worry, Grandpa Wu said, my stomach is stable, and I won't let your son be wronged." ”
Nangong Mo glanced at Hua Min's astonishing belly, listened to Hua Min's words, blinked his eyes, and put on an expression: "How can I care about this stinky boy, I obviously care about you, it's been time, he hasn't come out yet, he's really going to spank." ”
Hua Min raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.
Hua Minyun's belly should have been born according to reason, but the child did not come out for a long time.
However, Unazi said that it was okay, and the two first-time fathers had no choice but to wait.
As early as when she was pregnant with a child, three or four months ago, Wu Nazi asserted that it was a male doll, and at that time, there was a moment of ecstasy in Nangong Mo's eyes, and Hua Minyun did not miss it.
Oh, man.
Hua Minyun understands this feeling, Nangong Mo is ten years older than her, and the year of establishment has passed before she becomes a father, and it is too normal to want an heir to inherit the mantle.
Nangong Mo couldn't see that his wife was at the stable anymore, so he leaned over and picked it up, and was ready to send it to the house.
As he walked over, he glanced at Wei Yue, who was standing on the side: "Let's see if the deer I brought back yesterday has been cooked, Madame has such a big belly, I don't know what to persuade you?" ”
I was reluctant to say that my daughter-in-law suffered in a month.
Weiyue, who had been reduced from a secret guard to a maid, lowered her head and stood in place, not daring to come out.
The master's ruthlessness was unimaginable, and it was by no means what he showed in front of his wife.
Nangong Mo looked at Hua Minyun, his face was immediately as gentle as the warm spring sun, and he said to Hua Minyun in his arms in a gentle tone: "Deer blood is the most warm supplement, you have to eat more, look at you, you are too thin." ”
Hua Minyun looked at his big belly, he only looked in the mirror last night, not to mention the double chin, the three chins came out, how could he be thin?
If it weren't for Wu Nazi's repeated assurances, saying that she was just right like this, Hua Minyun would be afraid that she would be too fat and not good for the child.
But he is by no means as thin as Nangong Mo said.
She rolled her eyes at the thought of this.
This man can open his eyes and tell nonsense.
