After eating in the main building, Nie Qingwan followed Nie Bei to visit Nie Gongshu, Nie Gongshu is now the Taishan Beidou of the Dayin Empire, on a day like the New Year, there are many people who come to see him, but there are very few people who can see him, and among these very few people, Yin De is the most noble.

Yin De came to see Nie Gongshu, naturally it was not in vain, Yin De had also heard about the tribute being returned by the Queen Mother, and also knew that today's authorities in those small countries personally came with another batch of tribute, Yin De not only heard about this, but also knew that the Queen Mother issued the decree that 'if there is a hard interlode, it will be regarded as a crime of rebellion, and he will be killed on the spot'.

When Yin De heard this decree, his first reaction was that this decree was not issued by the little queen mother, but by Nie Gongshu through the little queen mother's subordinates.

In the land of the imperial capital of the Great Yin Empire, kill the monarch who came to send tribute, what do you want to do!

Yin De didn't want to come to Nie Gongshu, but he couldn't help but come.

But when he came, Nie Gongshu only invited him to tea, and did not mention anything about what was happening outside the city gate at the moment.

Did he come to have tea with him?

Doesn't he have a tea buddy?

Do you have to come all the way to him?

Long face him!

Yin De, as the person with the highest rank in the Yin royal family, how noble his identity is, he came in person, but this old guy surnamed Nie is still here to pretend with him, Yin De was slightly angry, but he didn't get angry, he just stopped taking a sip of tea, just stared at a pair of tiger eyes, looking at the old and thin man opposite.

Nie Gongshu said with a smile: "If King De has anything to say, the Queen Mother is home, and she should be coming in a while." ”

What this means is that if you don't want to say it in front of the Queen Mother, then you have to hurry.

Yin De's face twitched faintly, this old fox.

Yin De had no choice but to get straight to the point: "Why did this king come to you, Duke Nie should know very well, what is going on outside the city gate, and why did the Queen Mother give such an order, it is impossible for Duke Nie not to know, right?" ”

Nie Gongshu nodded: "I know." ”

Yin De asked: "Is it what you mean or what the Queen Mother means?" ”

Nie Gongshu smiled and said: "The matter of tribute has long been handled by the Queen Mother, and the ministers know it, so it is impossible for King De not to know, right?" I didn't see you say anything when the Queen Mother returned those tributes before, why are you so anxious and white-faced now? ”

Yin De said coldly: "The Queen Mother gave such an order, can I not be in a hurry to be white-faced?" ”

Nie Gongshu said without emotion: "That kind of decree, what kind of decree? Has King De read the list of items that the subjects paid tribute to? Now that you've seen it, can't you see that those lists are actually very problematic? As the person with the highest rank in the Yin royal family and who plays a leading role in the Yin royal family, you should know the attitude of the Yin royal family and even the entire royal family! Da Yin has been ferocious and murderous since the establishment of the industry, so the surrounding countries are frightened, but thousands of years have passed, the Da Yin royal family has become more and more gentle, to the first emperor is seriously ill, almost no longer care about the affairs of those vassal countries, but let those vassal countries think that my Da Yin royal family has gradually declined, the first emperor has just died, the bones are not cold, they are so eager to show their ambitions, not to mention that the queen mother did not know when she gave this order, even if I knew, I will only clap in favor, and will not object. King De felt that the queen mother's decree was unsatisfactory, so you say, how do you receive these ill-intentioned vassal monarchs, receive them into the city gate, treat them like guests, and then set up a banquet to entertain them, so that they can live a happy year in the arms of the imperial capital? ”

Yin De choked, and was choked by Nie Gong's not shallow words, he naturally saw that there was something wrong with those vassal monarchs, but this is the New Year's Pass, even if it is difficult, it is not now, and those monarchs have already come with tribute in person, so it doesn't mean that they are actually afraid? Moreover, the Da Yin royal family ruled the four seas, but in front of their own country to kill those who bowed down to the monarchs who came to send tribute, if this matter spread, what will others say about the Da Yin royal family, what will they think of Da Yin? Who will dare to come to Chengcheng in the future? And those who surrendered, can they not chill when they hear this? Once you have a cold heart, can you rebel without changing your heart?

Even though what Nie Gongshu said was very reasonable, but Yin De felt that what he was worried about was also reasonable, so he argued with Nie Gongshu and quarreled, in Yin De's opinion, although he Nie Mansion was highly respected and held authority, but he was only a minister, and he was a minister, how could he know the king's vision and concerns?

What Yin De didn't know was that Emperor Yin Zu entrusted Nie Qingwan to assist the new Emperor Yin on his deathbed, that is, he knew the concerns of his own people, and what Emperor Yin Zu wanted was not a person who always took into account the overall situation, he wanted a ruthless person who dared to break the deadlock of Da Yin for so many years without scruples.

Nie Gongshu is old, and now most of his body has entered the bones, and the person who has lived to this age has actually lost his temper, but he was still angry by Yin De's deliberate words to find trouble, and almost fainted.

Nie Buwei was waiting by Nie Gongshu's side, and seeing that Nie Gongshu was panting, he hurriedly and skillfully went to get the medicine, poured water again, and drank it for him with great skill.

Waiting for Nie Gongshu to take the medicine, Nie Buwei patted him again, and the afterglow swept towards Yin De, very cold.

At that time, Nie Buwei was only twenty years old, he was a rare visible martial arts genius among the Nie juniors, and he was also another chilling existence after Nie Xifeng, his glance swept over, although it was as light as the wind, like even more thunder and lightning, Yin De's face trembled, and his heart was even more stunned, Yin Shan raised his head and glanced at Nie Buwei.

Nie Buwei didn't look at them anymore, and only lowered his eyes and asked Nie how he was.

Nie Gongshu shook his head, didn't want to talk to him, just looked at Yin De, and said: "I'm a little uncomfortable, so I won't entertain King De, I'll go lie down for a while, King De will take care of himself." ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Yin De's reaction, and directly asked Nie Buwei to help him up.

As soon as he stood up, before he could take a step, there was a small servant outside the door who spread the word that the Queen Mother and the Sixteenth Prince were coming.

Nie Gongshu's foot that was about to step out stopped so vividly, and he rushed to the door and said, "Let them in." ”

The little servant answered yes, opened the door, and let Nie Qingwan and Nie Bei in.

When the two of them entered, the door to the study was closed again.

Nie Qingwan originally just came to ask Nie Gong to say goodbye and then go out to play, but as soon as she entered the study and saw Yin De, she knew that she didn't want to play for a while.

Nie Qingwan stood there, her gaze glancing at Yin De lightly.

Although Yin De was unwilling, he still got up, saluted her, and shouted 'Queen Mother', Yin De saw the salute, Yin Shan naturally also saluted, Nie Gongshu and Nie Buwei also saluted.

Nie Qingwan smiled and said, "What is King De doing in Nie Mansion at this time?" I also secretly came to see Ah Zu Gong, what did you say to Ah Zu Gong, you are angry with Ah Zu Gong, right? I saw that Ah Zugong's face was not very good. ”

Yin De pursed his lips and thought angrily in his heart, what am I angry with him, is he angry with me, it is you who are angry with me, it is your Nie Mansion who is angry with me, not the decree you made, can I run over in a good manner? Next year will be the Chinese New Year's Eve, today the Yin clan people are pasting couplet decal paper to prepare for tomorrow's ancestor worship, I am also very busy, who has time to come and find trouble! You're all to blame!

Yin De snorted angrily, and stood there and told her what he had just said to Nie Gong, Nie Qingwan listened, frowned slightly, and said, "This matter has nothing to do with Azu Gong, it is an order from the palace." ”

Yin De said: "It is against the will of the people to kill the monarch who came to envoy the country in front of the gate of the imperial capital. ”

Nie Qingwan sneered: "People's hearts? ”

Although she is small, standing there is also a small group, but the words that come out are earth-shattering, she said: "Everyone will have people's hearts, there are more people's hearts in this world, what you said is against people's hearts, which part of people's hearts are against people's hearts?" King De, although the palace is small, but the palace understands a truth, that is, the hearts of people who are not on the same road, they don't need to be maintained, they don't need to be maintained, why be afraid of violating them? ”

She smiled sharply and said unhurriedly: "You don't dare to do this thing that goes against the hearts of the people, this palace will do it, and all the consequences will be borne by this palace!" Of course, if you have to block the will of the palace today and let those princes of the vassal country enter the city, it will be very good, announce it to the world, inform all the Yin royal family, and all the consequences caused by this will be borne by your Yin royal family. ”

Yin De squinted: "You are a ten-year-old queen mother, you are responsible, what are you responsible for!" ”

Nie Qingwan said lightly: "Yes, you also know that I am still the queen mother, so what do you say I will bear." ”

Yin De choked again, he stared at the little girl in front of him, the little girl may have played outside, the tips of her hair were sweaty, and her forehead was a little sweaty, it was such a cold day outside, she didn't wrap a fox coat, she was wearing a cotton jacket skirt, she looked fat, bloated, and not cold, but her face was frozen red, and her ears were also very red, it must have been blown by the wind, and when it was set off by such red, it seemed that her eyes were particularly black, like a stone, looking at him at the moment, like a bottomless deep pool.

At this moment, Yin De couldn't see through her.

A ten-year-old.

A ten-year-old queen mother.

A ten-year-old girl.

It made him, a person who had experienced his fate, couldn't help but be shocked and trembled.

She said-You also know that I am still the Queen Mother, so what do you say I will bear.

What she is responsible for, taking the rivers and mountains of the Great Yin Empire, and the thousands of miles of territory of the Great Yin Empire - she is not only answering his questions, but also announcing to him - the rivers and mountains of the Great Yin Empire, she has the final say.

Yin De replied that he couldn't say that this little queen mother, he could see that this little queen mother was an ordinary person.

Yes.

If she insists on doing so, it's up to her to clean things up.

Once the situation gets out of control, she must not blame him for intervening!

Yin De snorted coldly, didn't say anything, and led Yin Shan away again.

Yin Shan glanced at Nie Qingwan when he passed by, then silently withdrew his gaze and followed.

When the door of the study closed, Nie Qingwan immediately ran to Nie Gongshu's side and said worriedly, "Ah Zugong, are you okay?" ”

Nie Gongshu smiled and stretched out his hand and rubbed her little head: "Azu Gong is fine, with you, what can Azu Gong do." ”

He sat back in his chair and asked Nie Buwei to pour him a cup of tea.

Listening to him always coughing, Nie Buwei's brows tightened, Nie Qingwan and Nie Bei also showed very worried looks, and the three children all stood beside Nie Gongshu, looking at him with a hint of red in their eyes.

The three children may also know that their grandfather's longevity is numbered, and he may leave them one day.

Nie Qingwan stretched out her hand, took Nie Gongshu's hand, and asked him, "Does Ah Zugong also think that Wanwan is doing something wrong?" ”

Nie Gongshu covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, coughed for a while, and then said: "No, you did a good job, in the future, just do what you want, don't worry about anyone." Fearless, invincible, this is what Emperor Yin Zu warned you, and it is also what Azu Gong wants to warn you, you bear the will of Emperor Yin Zu, and you are the reformer of Great Yin, so your belief is very important. ”

Nie Qingwan said, "I understand. ”

Nie Gongshu nodded with satisfaction: "Ah Zu Gong can see that you are smart when you are young, and you will understand Emperor Yinzu's intention of leaving you in front of the bed." ”

After he said this, he coughed violently again, Nie was not shocked, and hurriedly called Nie Jinhua and Nie Zong to come over to see Nie Gongshu, because it was the New Year, next year will be Chinese New Year's Eve, at this time the entire Nie Mansion outside is happily pasting couplets, sweeping the floor, hanging red lanterns, women are gathered around to make dumplings, make soup balls, the masters are busy hand-picking New Year's goods, as well as new clothes and jewelry, etc., everyone is busy, because of such busyness, Nie Gongshu does not let Nie not make a noise, Nie Buwei didn't say anything, and only quietly called Nie Jinhua and Nie Zong over, except for Nie Qingwan and Nie Bei, the two juniors, the other juniors didn't know, so the entire joyful Nie Mansion didn't know that Nie Gongshu's body was no longer good, maybe it would come to an end after surviving this New Year.

Nie Gongshu lay on the bed, looked at a few pale and sad children, and said: "People always die, this is the law of nature, you don't have to be sad, you look at the first emperor, he is so wise and powerful, when I was young, I always thought that he was immortal, but then he also died, so I can survive the death of the first emperor, it is already very profitable." ”

Nie Qingwan's dark eyes showed tear bubbles, she bit her lip, and her little nose inhaled: "But Wanwan is reluctant to let you die." ”

Nie Gongshu smiled: "Then you let Ah Zugong live, cough and take medicine every day, suffer from illness, can you bear it?" ”

Nie Qingwan shook her head with tears in her eyes.

Of course she couldn't bear it.

Nie Gong said: "That's it, sometimes death is actually liberation. ”

For the current Nie Gongshu, isn't death a relief?

Emperor Yin Zu is gone, and he really won't live long.

His wife is long gone, and he can live until now because of the brother Emperor Yinzu, and this brother is different from the brothers in the family, and the love between him and Emperor Yinzu will not be understood by these children.

Nie Gongshu closed his eyes and waved his hand to make them all withdraw.

Nie Qingwan took out a handkerchief, wiped her eyes, and left sullenly.

Nie Buwei didn't leave, he served by Nie Gongshu's side every day.

Nie Jinhua and Nie Zong went down to dispense medicine again, and they didn't stay here.

Nie Bei followed behind Nie Qingwan, seeing that although she wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, she was still sobbing without a match, he thought about it and said, "Brother Sixteen will take you to play hide and seek, okay?" ”

Nie Qingwan raised her head, looked at him twice, and hung down listlessly.

Nie Bei pulled her strongly and said, "Let's go, let's go and shout Xixi, Qingqing and Yuchuan together, call one or twenty people, run all over the courtyard, it must be very fun." ”

The sadness in Nie Qingwan's heart was immediately pulled away by these words, her mind drifted to playing, in the end, she was still small, she couldn't resist the temptation of fun, struggled for a while, and immediately responded jubilantly.

Nie Bei: "......, hey, it's still a child."

Nie Bei took Nie Qingwan to find the Nie children to play hide and seek, so that Nie Qingwan found a particularly fun place, and the next time she played hide and seek, she always liked to run there, as a result, on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, she encountered a heavy snowfall, and she met a boy, and that boy was really stupid.

That day, Nie Qingwan met Chen Wenzi, but Chen Wenqi didn't know who she was, and when he got home, he thought about Ergouzi in pieces, Ergouzi was tied to a chair by him at that time, listening to him talking happily there alone, Ergouzi couldn't bear to hit him, and the elf, the elf in the snow! He's practicing martial arts, isn't he? There are fart elves in this world!

The second dog said aggrievedly: "Young master, do you have to help untie me first?" The master is going to check your homework in a moment, are you sure you still have to keep Erlang's legs crossed like this? ”

When Chen Wen heard this, he quickly jumped on his calves, came to the second dog, untied the rope on his body, and pulled him up unceremoniously, sat in the chair himself, and pretended to read the book.

The second dog smiled: "Young master, you took the book backwards." ”

Chen Wen saw that the words on the book were upside down, he twitched his forehead, flipped the book over, and stared at a certain dog with a smiling face: "Roll on, don't disturb your young master and my study." ”

The second dog couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Chen Wenqi: "......" laughs, it's good that I can take the book properly, and it doesn't matter if the words are correct or not, get out!

The two dogs went out to watch the door so that they could ventilate the news.

The thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve was the day of ancestor worship, Yin Xuan went to give incense to his parents, burned paper, burned incense and came back, he was surrounded by a group of Yin clan children, these people are all good friends with Yin Shan, and they used to bully him and his mother, so it must be bad intentions to block it at this time.

Yin Xuan ignored them, and walked away silently around them as before.

However, as soon as he walked around them, an arm stopped him: "Don't think that if the Queen Mother receives the Palace of Mercy and Grace, you will fly on the branch as a phoenix, even if the baby born by the chicken grows a handful, it is still a chicken." ”

Such vicious, vulgar and hurtful words with him and his mother are often there, Yin Xuan has long been numb, but he didn't care about it before, it doesn't mean that he doesn't care now, he used to be alone, he doesn't care what others say about him, they have a big tree to shelter, he doesn't, so he knows the current affairs very well, and he also knows how to get out without fighting, but now he is favored by the Queen Mother, and he is the person who the Queen Mother wants to cultivate, they still scold him like this, are they purely scolding him? Even if it was purely just scolding him, not scolding the Queen Mother, but they scolded him, but he suffered it, which is equivalent to disgrace the Queen Mother, no matter what kind of mentality the Queen Mother has to cultivate him, he can't let her be ashamed! In the past, he didn't fight back because there was no big tree behind him, but now that he has, how can he swallow his anger?

Yin Xuan smiled indifferently, the murderous aura permeated into the peach blossom-like evil and beautiful eyes, the young and vigorous child, with the killing intent in his heart, did not know how to restrain it at all, so as soon as his murderous aura came out, all the people around him who came to humiliate him felt it, and the Yin clan who stopped him and disgustingly damaged him stared at him in shock: "You dare to try it on me, kill the people of the same clan on this day of ancestor worship, you are the emperor Laozi, and you will also be ambushed!" ”

Yes, he's right.

Of course Yin Xuan knows that today is the day to worship ancestors, whoever dares to commit the taboo of worshipping ancestors today will be eaten alive by the clansmen, they are deliberately picking such a day to humiliate him, right? Thought he didn't dare to fight back, so he was unscrupulous?

Yin Xuan sneered, the murderous aura in his eyes accompanied by the sharp palm wind in his hand coldly and ruthlessly hit that person, that person was startled, he really didn't expect Yin Xuan to really dare!

That day, the scene of Yin Xuan killing Yin Shan hit his heart, the man's frightened eyes closed, and he hurriedly hid back, and the others also hurriedly hid, they didn't have martial arts and didn't dare to fight back, but today was the day to worship their ancestors, Yin Xuan was crazy, and he dared to do something to them, but they didn't dare to violate the clan rules! Yin Xuan is a sludge, and if he dies, he will die, but how can they die with such a noble status? Can't die, a few people were scared, and they cried wolf howls to dodge.

Yin Xuan didn't know if it was intentional, the more they hid, the heavier the murderous aura in his hand became, and he went directly towards their cover door, just when everyone was terrified and thought that Yin Xuan was really crazy, and really wanted to kill them, and they were also frightened with their legs trembling, and when their eyes were straight, the murderous aura that came towards the door was like a sharp sword, and it hit the tree behind them with a bang, "click", and the hundred-year-old tree was cut in half by the sword twisted by the internal force, accompanied by ' With a loud bang, the big tree fell backwards, dusting up countless dust, and the leaves on the tree fell like human heads.

The faces of the people turned pale with shock.

Yin Xuan withdrew his hand, dusted his sleeves indifferently, and said slowly in his usual tone: "If I dare to kill one Yin Shan, I will dare to kill the second, you should be careful, the next time you see me, if you are so open-mouthed, I don't mind pulling you to hell together." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving the eyes of these people with a cold color of infinite horror, and he did not touch them at all, not even a single hair touched, but let them experience what it is like to die.

After that day, when everyone saw Yin Xuan, they all took a detour, let alone talk, they were afraid to look at him.

Yin Xuan thought to himself, is this called feng shui in turns, I used to see you detour, but now I have changed you, so, as the old saying goes, thirty years to the east, forty years to the west, to be a man to accumulate virtue.
