Chapter 57: Sai Zhuge

Nangong Zhe, as the brainchild of the family, always plays the peacemaker of his father and eldest brother, Nangong Zhan has a short temper and often makes his father angry, Nangong Zhe is more thoughtful and often helps his father analyze things.

Nangong Zhe saw that his eldest brother was fighting with his father again, so he could only continue his role as a peacemaker, and said to Nangong Zhan:

"Big brother, you just listen to your father! The overall situation is important, and the third brother's life will not be in danger for the time being, this is just their means, and for now, they will not embarrass the third brother. ”

Nangong Zhan was still indignant, and said angrily in his heart:

"I don't care what they mean, if they want to bully the people of my Nangong family, they just can't do it, besides, why should they say that they won't embarrass the third brother anymore, if the third brother makes another mistake, how can it be good."

Nangong Fu saw that Nangong Zhan was so reckless, no matter what he said, he couldn't eat oil and salt, and he was suddenly speechless.

Nangong Zhe could only patiently persuade:

"Big brother, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, my Nangong family wants to gain a firm foothold in this court, what is this grievance, you just treat it as if nothing happened, can't you! Could it be that you want to ignore the century-old foundation of my Nangong family in order to understand the momentary anger? ”

Although Nangong Zhan was reckless, he was not an unreasonable person, hearing that Nangong Zhe had moved out of the hundred-year-old foundation of the Nangong family, Nangong Zhan could only grit his teeth, and was suddenly at a loss, pacing straight in the main hall, and said unwillingly:

"I ...... You...... What about the third brother! ”

Nangong Zhe looked at Nangong Zhan helplessly, and said with a wry smile:

"Don't worry, eldest brother, I believe that in a short time, the third brother will naturally return to Kyoto, and there is no need to stay in Yuegang City anymore."

Nangong Zhan was puzzled and asked suspiciously:

"What do you mean by that?"

Nangong Zhe confidently analyzed:

"This attack on the third brother, I'm afraid that before he went to Yuegang City, that person had already planned it, and the person who planned it was so thoughtful, I'm afraid that you and I brothers combined are not as good as him."

Nangong Zhan was not as patient as Nangong Zhe, and after listening to it for a long time, he didn't hear that he wanted an answer, so he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and blamed Nangong Zhe and said:

"Second brother, can you make it clear what you are doing around those bends?"

Nangong Fu was already angry with Nangong Zhan, but at this time, seeing that Nangong Zhe had already said it so clearly, Nangong Zhan was still unwilling to use his brain to think about the root cause of the problem, and was still asking Nangong Zhe, and said angrily:

"What do you do with this head, don't you ever think? It's not clear what is going on in such an obvious situation. ”

Nangong Zhe smiled and said patiently:

"Big brother, what do you think! The reason why the third brother was assassinated was because of the dispute between the princes, so if you want the third brother to have an accident, the best venue is Yuegang City, in order to be the problem of our Nangong family's team, now that the result has been achieved, the role of the third brother has become smaller. I believe that King Xinyang also understands this, and it is estimated that after a while, the prince of Song Jing will return to Kyoto, and then the third brother will naturally come back. When the third brother returns to Kyoto, are you still worried that there will be people who want to harm him? ”

Nangong Zhan finally nodded in understanding, but there was still anger in his chest, and he said dissatisfiedly:

"They are fighting for their prince, what does it matter to our Nangong family, and they also use my Nangong family as a chess piece."

Nangong Zhe shook his head and said helplessly:

"Big brother, who made the Song Kingdom the world of the Song family, as a courtier, isn't it normal to be treated as a chess piece!"

Nangong Fu heard the conversation between the two becoming more and more disrespectful, and hurriedly said:

"Shut up, how can such a big rebellion come out of your mouth, remember, Mo'er must not mention this matter in the future, and above the court, abide by your own duties, don't let people grasp the handle, I have a hunch, the storm is coming, who wins and who loses is not yet known, so you all give me caution."

Nangong Zhan and Nangong Zhe hugged their fists at the same time and responded:

"Yes......"

Nangong Zhan was still frowning, wanting to speak and stopping, it seemed that there were still unsolved questions, but he was afraid of his father's scolding, so he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.

Nangong Zhan's expression was seen by Nangong Zhe, and he couldn't help asking:

"Big brother, looking at your expression, it seems that you have something to ask your father, is it about why your father agreed to support King Xinyang?"

Nangong Zhan glanced at Ma Mingzhe gratefully, and then at Nangong Fu, afraid that Nangong Fu would blame him again, he nodded weakly to Nangong Zhe and replied:

"Exactly ......"

Nangong Zhe smiled and said:

"Didn't the eldest brother see that my father was delaying the army just now? King Xinyang is aggressive, if he doesn't express his position today, I don't know how King Xinyang will deal with our Nangong family, I'm afraid that the third brother will be affected by then. ”

Nangong Zhe continued:

"King Xinyang borrowed the matter of the third brother's attack, firstly, he wanted to guide our Nangong family to hate other palaces, and secondly, the third brother was ordered by the emperor to protect the prince, King Xinyang felt that he could restrain our Nangong family, so that we could no longer go to other princes in the team, but King Xinyang was too confident in himself, and he also underestimated my Nangong family, and he also misunderstood the holy will, so he was afraid that he would lift a stone and hit himself in the foot.

In addition, King Xinyang himself understands that at present, my Nangong family will never support him openly, but King Xinyang only needs to know that we will not help other princes, and this is enough. ”

Nangong Zhan may really not like to use his brain, or he may not be interested in the battle in the court, Nangong Zhe has analyzed it very thoroughly, but he still knows a little bit and asks suspiciously:

"Why does King Xinyang just need to know that we don't support other princes?"

Nangong Zhe was really speechless, if he didn't know his eldest brother too well, maybe he would have turned his head and left at this time, and it felt like he was talking to the cow.

But Nangong Zhe still patiently explained:

"Big brother, just imagine, the king of Xinyang has 300,000 elite soldiers, in terms of generals, the king of Xinyang does not need anyone's support at all, but the civil official is the constraint of the king of Xinyang, the top priority of the king of Xinyang is to need the support of the civil official, and as long as we do not support other princes, then the king of Xinyang still has the strength to fight, if we support other princes, it is equivalent to other princes will have military power, and there will be a threat to the king of Xinyang.

But this is also the wisdom of His Majesty, let us Nangong family put it out of the way, let other princes have the support of civil officials, or the support of military attachΓ©s, at that time, Your Majesty will appoint any prince as the prince, and he will be able to better control the court. ”

When Nangong Zhe heard this, he suddenly realized, and finally unraveled all the fog in his heart, and hugged Nangong Zhe and said:

"Second brother Sai Zhuge admires it."

Nangong Zhe heard the praise of the eldest brother, and quickly bowed down and replied modestly:

"The eldest brother is ashamed of the foolish brother, how dare the younger brother compare with Mr. Wolong, the younger brother is less than one-ten-thousandth of Mr.

Nangong Zhan said with a straight face:

"I think the second brother is better than Mr. Zhuge , how can he be inferior to him."

Nangong Zhe smiled and shook his head, he didn't argue with Nangong Zhan, he felt that it was good to be able to recognize himself, not to lose himself because of the praise of others, and not to look down on himself because of the belittlement of others.
