Chapter 6: A Hint of the Beginning

When Ah Shan heard this, he no longer mentioned the Xu family, but said: "Princess Changkang and the eldest prince came down on the same day, since the Duke of Changkang is going to enter the Lanhui Pavilion, is the Linzhi Palace going to be opened?" ”

"The Queen Mother has raised the eldest son and the second son of the emperor under her knees over the years, and she has enjoyed this family happiness very much." Mu Bi groaned slightly, "I don't think the Queen Mother may be willing to be lonely under her knees, speaking of which I opened this example, but the princess is different from the prince, and my identity with the Queen Mother is also different, her serious grandmother is the Queen Mother, and it is natural to raise the imperial heir to adulthood, not to mention that the Ganquan Palace is so big." ”

After a pause, Mu Bi frowned slightly, "The eldest son of the emperor is nothing tight, his legs are ...... Although it is not obvious as long as you don't walk faster now, it is always not good when you run and jump, and if there is no accident, no one will move your mind to him...... However, the second son of the emperor is one year younger than the eldest son of the emperor, and next year, the second son of the emperor and the second son of the emperor will also go to school, and I don't know how their enlightenment teacher will be arranged......"

Although the enlightenment of the princes may not be able to determine the direction of the prince's position, but it can also be seen that there are many clues, the first emperor is long in the beacon fire, this dynasty received the teaching of the prince only Ji Shen, Ji Shen's enlightenment is Gaozu himself, the next homework is Gaozu Xu is the first person of Linyi County Gong Nie Jiezhi teaching, after the death of Nie Jiezhi, the successor Jiang Yao, Ji Jianran, Ouyang Huaiying, Jiang Yao and Ji Jianran do not say much, Ouyang Huaiying is the grandfather of the late Ouyang Meiren, is the famous Confucian, He died a year before Ji Shen ascended the throne, and the first emperor also asked Ji Shen to pay his respects...... The eldest son of the emperor, who was enlightened after April 14 this year, has been recognized by all parties as not being among the princes because of his leg disease, because of the Empress Duanming, who was posthumously crowned in the ninth year of Taining......

The four princes in the palace, the age difference is not big, this year is the eldest prince who is six years old and enlightened, next year is the second prince, Ji Kai because of his late birthday, is the fourteenth day of the lunar month, maybe he will not go to school until the spring of the next year, but in October of the next year, it is also the fourth prince who will be six years old......

"Now that Jiang Yao and Ji Jianran have stepped down, and His Majesty doesn't like them, I'm afraid it's unlikely that he will be the prince's teacher." Ah Shan helped speculate, "Although King Anping of Zuoxiang is a clan and an imperial brother, he is not famous for his talent, but he is the king of Guangling, known as a virtuous ......."

"Isn't the virtuous name of King Guangling still coming out?" Mu Bi said disdainfully, "I don't know if he can compare to the He family in terms of real talent, in the end, the He family has studied things hard...... But what you said is also true, he has a good reputation, although our majesty was watched by Gaozu and the first emperor for many years, but he was mixed up because someone helped him do his tricks, and he didn't necessarily think that King Guangling's talent was not good. ”

Ah Shan smiled: "Outside of King Guangling, it's Cui Jin." ”

"Cui Yi has been angry with His Majesty several times, His Majesty doesn't like him very much, plus the affairs ......of Concubine Bo and Princess Tongchang" Mu Bi squinted his eyes slightly and said, "He seems to be able to learn...... However, Your Majesty may not be able to pass this hurdle. ”

"Nie Yuansheng is now a servant, and it is more than enough to teach the prince with his talents, but the slave thinks that His Majesty is now useful to him, and I am afraid that he will not have the time to teach the prince." A Shan said, "However, the Duke of Rongchang County and Qu Jia have been famous for their literary names, and Ouyang Zhongli, who was robbed of his knighthood like Qu Jia, is also good...... I just don't know if His Majesty will use them? ”

Mu Biwei said thoughtfully: "Even if Your Majesty refuses to use them, it is estimated that there will be people who will speak for them, it has been three years since the affairs of Ouyang Meiren and the Qu family, and Your Majesty is not a person with a firm mind, and it may not be possible to have the mind to reverse their titles." ”

Ah Shan said tentatively: "If Niangniang wants Nie Yuansheng to teach Yu Lang ......"

"It's a year or two, and we'll talk about it later." Mu Biwei said a little absent-mindedly.

That being said, in the end, Ji Wei is his own son, and his future is not worrying about Mu Biwei, since he thought of these things because of the birthday of the emperor's eldest son, Mu Biwei still asked Ah Shan to pass the message in the Xuanshu Palace.

At the beginning of the year, Nie Yuansheng stepped on the moon and came, Changjin Palace and Jique Palace were originally close, because of the high seventh, Nie Yuansheng is now extremely convenient, he seems to be in a very good mood tonight, when he saw Mu Biwei, he couldn't help but say that he took her and kissed her first, and then asked with a smile: "Miss me?" ”

Mu Biwei saw him like this and said curiously: "What good news did you get?" ”

"Good news indeed." Nie Yuansheng let go of her with a smile, took out a piece of music from his sleeve, and handed it to her, "I specially brought it here for you to see." ”

"Oh?" Mu Biwei came to be interested, in the past two years, there have been more newcomers in the palace, Mu Biwei intends to avoid favor, Ji Shen rarely comes to the Chenglian Palace, the two come back and forth, Nie Yuansheng will bring some interesting pieces from time to time and the two of them will tease and have fun together, this time Mu Biwei thought that it was the same as before, where did it come from, and she didn't want to open it as soon as she opened it, and her face changed slightly when she saw the beginning, "Ni Zhen?!" ”

Nie Yuansheng smiled and said, "Let's take a look." ”

Mu Bi glanced at him suspiciously, Ni Zhen was originally her father Mu Qi's old department, born in the Han clan, quite handsome, since the fifth year of Taining Mu Qi town guarded the Snow Blue Pass but was broken by Rouran's design, but Ni Zhen helped to recapture the Snow Blue Pass...... Mu Qi and his eldest son Mu Bichuan were both escorted back to the capital by Feihewei to be punished, but Ni Zhen became the commander of the 300,000 army in the northwest.

However, Ni Zhen is quite good at being a person, when Mu Qi's father and son were questioned, he wrote to intercede for the Mu family, and later regarded himself as the old department during the New Year's holidays, and always had to send someone to send a Tuyi to express his heart......

Mu Biwei's impression of Ni Zhen was acceptable, but Nie Yuansheng suddenly took Ni Zhen's recital...... Northwest...... Snow Blue Pass ...... She took a deep breath before continuing to read it cautiously, but after reading it, she looked surprised: "Ni Zhen actually killed the beloved son of Rouran Khan?" Is Snow Blue Pass going to war again? ”

"He killed the hellish Rouran Khan Aiko!" Nie Yuansheng was sitting down and pouring a cup of tea by himself at this moment, and when he heard this, he put down the tea bowl that was handed to his lips, and said with a sneer, "It's just that I'm afraid that people will turn over old accounts, and the people who cooperated in the past may not be reliable, so I will start first, give myself some credit, and find a reason that can be justified as 'a plan to make a difference' in the future!" Is it true that when the Northwest armies let him command, it was all his, all these years? ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Mu Bi and said, "You find a reason to announce Xiao He's entry into the palace, let her go back and ask your eldest brother, it is estimated that your family's eyeliner in the northwest should also send back the news!" ”

"What the hell is going on?" Mu Bi was slightly shocked and asked.

"The Northwest Army has always been devoted to the Mu family, and even my grandfather was difficult to intervene in back then, so when I was five years in Taining, I was always puzzled about one thing, that is, how did Xuelan Pass get lost?" Nie Yuansheng put the piece back in his sleeve, and his expression gradually became cold, "With King Anping, a prince doesn't have this ability!" But adding a Ni Zhen is different......"

Mu Bi knew that he was not lying about such a thing, opened his mouth, and said in a trembling voice for a while: "No wonder...... My dad and my eldest brother are fine...... The family in the cold night is ......"

"Although General Ye's official qualifications were not as good as Ni Zhen when he was martyred, it is expected that the pastoral order values him more than Ni Zhen." Nie Yuansheng was quick-witted, although Ni Zhen's recital did not mention the Ye family at all, but Mu Biwei only mentioned Ye Hanxi's name to understand what she meant, and nodded, "Ni Zhen was born in the Han clan and is talented herself, but if there is no pastoral order to promote, it is impossible to be promoted so quickly!" However, in order to make him meritorious, the pastoral order let him garrison Baling alone with a group of soldiers and horses, but he took General Ye with him to teach...... I'm afraid he's worried that General Ye is a threat......"

"At that time, Hanxi said that when her family fell into Xuelan Pass, she only cared about grief, I think Xuelanguan was lost suddenly, and it is not surprising that the family fell into it, but General Ye is quite brave, plus his knees, and his children...... Even the cold night martial arts are not under me, not to mention that the Ye family also has pro-soldiers...... It will only escape from the cold night! Hanxi was lucky enough to meet my father and survived......" Mu Bi Weisen smiled, "It's just that the Yunmeng Rutai she brought over shocked me, so I didn't continue to think about it, so that's it!" Since it was Ni Zhen who made the move, it was not surprising that most of the purpose was to get rid of General Ye, the thorn in his side...... It's no wonder that none of Hanxi's brothers survived! This is afraid that my father loves the house and Wu, even if General Ye is dead, if he cares more about General Ye's blood and bones...... My dad was in the prime of life at that time! Wait for a child to grow up and become an adult! Besides, there are not many heirs of Daddy, if the Ye family has a surviving Lang Jun, he is not afraid that he can't take care of it! ”

When she said this, she suddenly came to her senses, grabbed Nie Yuansheng's sleeve and asked in a deep voice, "How did the real news about Xue Languan come from?" When did you know that Ni Zhen was wrong? ”

Nie Yuansheng smiled and said, "Could it be that I can still deliberately harm your family?" As I said, because of the bitter cold and barrenness in the northwest, there has hardly been a decent family, or the pastoral family who migrated from Yedu to guard the border is the most popular, and my grandfather spent a lot of effort to install some spies...... After my grandfather left, because my uncle had no intention of pursuing a career, these hands were passed on to me, and I was young at the time, and my grandmother took care of them first, and when they came to me...... You know that my grandmother was not as good as my grandfather, and she lost a lot of people in the middle, and when I first took over, I was also busy consolidating His Majesty's trust...... Now there are only a few people left, Ni Zhen and King Anping's collusion is more than three years ago, and the people who accidentally found him came to your house to deliver Tuyi first, and then changed their faces and entered the Anping Palace's mansion through the back door......"

Mu Bi was so angry that her whole body trembled: "I also said earlier that he sends some earthen rituals to my house every year to show respect for my father-even if it's for show!" I don't want to, but he wants to contact King Anping and use my father as a cover! ”

At that time, You'e Ying was showing off herself in the palace, and He found out again...... I'm afraid you won't tell you because you're too distracted, and it doesn't make much sense to tell you at the time, but now, our opportunity has come. Nie Yuansheng smiled and said, "Rouran is in civil strife, and the tribe that colluded with Ni Zhen and joined forces to break through the Snow Blue Pass has the upper hand, and if it fails to borrow troops from Ni Zhen, it will be necessary to show evidence of what happened back then to force him!" ”

"Oops!" Mu Bi shouted slightly, changing color and saying, "Now Xue Languan is under Ni Zhen's guard!" Now he has taken the lead in this recital...... This person is from the Han clan, there are not many family members, and they are all in the northwest! In case he is in a hurry...... Simply switch to the enemy......"

Ni Zhen, although Mu Biwei doesn't know much about this person, but since she was promoted by Mu Qi at the beginning, she was jealous because of Mu Qi's different view of Ye Hanxi's father, who was also from the Han clan, and even went so far as to collude with King Anping and unite with Rouran to murder the Ye family, and even dragged Mu Qi's father and son into the water! It can be seen that he is narrow-minded and only has selfish interests at all, even if he is a citizen of Daliang, I am afraid that in order to avoid being questioned, he may not be able to do anything to defect to the enemy!

What's more, Xuelan Pass is far away in the northwest, even if the carrier pigeon flies the book, it will take several days!

Ni Zhen is now the first person in the northwest......

Besides, his subordinates may not know his plans, and when the time comes, he will find an excuse to lure the enemy deeper or even simply fake the holy decree......

Nie Yuansheng smiled calmly: "Don't worry, Wei Niang...... Why do you think King Gaoyang was exiled back then? ”

Mu Biwei was stunned, and saw Nie Yuansheng said proudly, "And it is also exiled to Baling City, where Ni Zhen has been operating for many years...... He is not like Mu Ling's personal guard of Xuelan Pass, he has always been in Baling City, it seems that you haven't paid attention to those Feihe Guards who accompanied King Gaoyang to leave the capital at that time, because King Gaoyang and the princess were still in a hurry, but not all of them came back......" He said meaningfully, "And in order to protect King Gaoyang, Feihe Wei was not all in the open!" ”

"Flying Crane Guard...... But with Feihewei, he may not be able to stop Ni Zhen and his ......" Mu Biwei couldn't rest assured, Nie Yuansheng intercepted: "What about the genuine holy decree?" ”

"What?"

Nie Yuansheng said casually: "Don't forget, the jade seal has been used by me all these years, and I am afraid that Your Majesty's handwriting is still like your Majesty...... Since I had the idea of exiling King Gaoyang to the northwest when I suggested to His Majesty, how could I not keep one more hand? Those Feihe guards who stayed in the northwest and lurked, there were not many around, and everyone had a holy decree, specifically for Ni Zhen's possible defection to the enemy, or even refusal to surrender military power and refuse to return the capital, I have prepared them all! As soon as a pigeon book arrives, someone will naturally read it...... Well, just in case, I have prepared two copies of the holy decree of all the contents......"

He said slowly, "At the beginning, the people of the five counties were raised, and with a radish I found on the way, I made a holy decree that even the Duke of Wuying County couldn't distinguish between true and false, let alone the ready-made jade seal in the Xuanshu Palace?" Ni Zhen wants to join the enemy...... Hey! I'm afraid he won't go to the enemy! ”

Mu Bi pondered slightly, and her eyes gradually lit up......
