Chapter 189: Provocation

Nan Yinglin unfolded the letter and read it carefully, suddenly smiled, and slapped his thigh with a smile.

Wen Yuan didn't know what was written in the letter, but when he saw Nan Yinglin's overjoyed look, he guessed that Luo Ru mentioned the things that the emperor was most concerned about in the letter. Could it be that Luo Ru has a way to raise an army of 500,000? Wen Yuan stared at the emperor and was speechless for a long time.

Nan Yinglin put down the letterhead, pointed at Wen Yuan, and said: "Go, give me a decree, General Luo Ru is loyal and commendable, and I will make him a first-class marquis today, hereditary replacement." ”

Wen Yuan was stunned: "Your Majesty, there must be a reason for the sudden sealing, right?" ”

Nan Yinglin shook the letterhead in front of Wen Yuan, and said with a smile: "Reason? That's why. ”

Wen Yuan took the letter and read it roughly, and there was a sound in his heart, and he raised his head in a daze: "Your Majesty, this General Luo is too whimsical, right?" ”

Nan Yinglin gradually faded his smile: "What whimsy? ”

"The emperor thinks about it, Lingnan Prefecture is the southern end of Daqi, and the Northern Cold is the northernmost section of Daqi, and the soldiers in the south are used to the hot and humid climate, how can they stand the strange weather of the Northern Cold?"

Wen Yuan scratched his head: "Moreover, Lingnan Prefecture is adjacent to Lu State, and Luo Ru's army is stationed there just to deter Lu State, once the emperor transfers Luo Ru to Beihan, what if Lu State takes the opportunity to change?" ”

Nan Yinglin's face gradually became gloomy: "You mean that this move is not feasible?" ”

"It's not naturally feasible." Wen Yuan frowned.

Nan Yinglin exhaled heavily: "That's because I didn't think about it, you go down first, and I think about it again." ”

Wen Yuan arched his hand and retreated from Luling Pavilion, Nan Yinglin sighed dejectedly and fell heavily on the chair. Headache, headache! He clutched his cheeks in pain.

Suddenly, a cold, soft hand touched his temple from behind, rubbing it little by little.

Nan Yinglin opened her eyes, stroked her hands, and turned her head to look at her: "Why are you here?" ”

Shen Yun Zhenqian smiled and said, "I heard that you lost your temper with those Wenchen again, so I'll take a look." ”

"See what?" He asked.

"Look at who is so bold and dares to provoke our emperor." She laughs.

Nan Yinglin sighed, pointed to the notebook in that place, and waved his hand helplessly: "I just want to recruit 500,000 troops, and I don't force them to mobilize from a state capital, but one by one it seems to rob them of their private money, pushing back and obstructing, and after three months, not even a single soldier has been transferred." ”

Shen Yunzhen sighed softly, her eyes fell on the letterhead on the table again, and she picked it up casually: "What is this?" ”

"Oh, it's Luo Ru's letterhead asking for war." He said.

"Who is Luo Ru?" She looked at him.

"It is the capital of the Lingnan garrison, and the entire Lingnan Prefecture is under his control." He took back the letterhead from Shen Yunzhen's hand: "Your daughter's family doesn't need to know this. ”

Shen Yunzhen pouted: "What, you look down on women?" ”

"This?" Nan Yinglin was stunned for a moment: "When did I say such bastard words?" ”

Shen Yun really turned her face away disapprovingly, and muttered in a low voice: "You just said it." ”

Nan Yinglin leaned over with a smile: "Then I will punish myself." He said, slapping himself lightly in the face.

Shen Yunzhen sneered and pushed him: "It's still an emperor, but it's still a child's temper." ”

She smiled, and it tickled to his heart.

Nan Yinglin said and went to pull her: "Let's go, let's go to the Crane Garden to relax." ”

Shen Yun retracted his hand suddenly and said, "I'm not going." ”

He was slightly stunned: "Why?" ”

"Do you think I don't know? Those good courtiers of yours gossip behind their backs, saying that I don't abide by women's morals, saying that I bewitch the king's heart, and saying that I want Chengyuan to recognize you as a father. Shen Yunzhen turned his gaze away lightly: "If I go out with you again, your imperial historians should say that I am a disaster to the country and the people." ”

"Who's saying that?" Nan Yinglin's eyes suddenly widened.

Shen Yun was really indifferent and ignored him.

He became more and more anxious, and stroked her shoulder: "Tell me, where did you hear this?" ”

She turned her face away from him.

"Tell me!" He shook her shoulders vigorously.

She pretended to be angry, and angrily pushed Nan Yinglin's hand away: "You have to ask your good servant about this, once I saw him secretly tearing the folds, and all the torn folds were thrown into the ditch, so I asked the eunuchs to fish them up, and when I put them together, it turned out to be scolding me." ”

Far? Is there such a thing? Unauthorized detention of the fold is already a big crime of bullying the king, and he even tore the fold to pieces!

Nan Yinglin stared at her: "What you said is true?" ”

Shen Yun nodded genuinely: "I still have the pieces that were fished up, do you want to see them?" ”

Nan Yinglin was a little distracted, and shouted at the eunuch outside: "Call Wen Yuan!" ”

He didn't need to see the evidence, he already believed it was true. Since the last time he removed four imperial historians from his positions in one go, he has never seen those who accuse him of coveting beauty and having fun and misleading the country. He also thought that the imperial historians had learned to be obedient, but it turned out that Wen Yuan was the obstruction.

Wen Yuan hurried over, and saw that the emperor was so angry that he didn't even have half a sentence of defense, so he kowtowed and confessed.

Nan Yinglin waved his hand: "Drag it out and beat me to the death!" ”

Outside the house, there was the sound of sticks slamming against the flesh, and sometimes Wen Yuan could be heard whimpering, and the sound was squeezed out from the depths of his throat, because he refused to beg for mercy and gritted his teeth. Seeing that he didn't beg for mercy, Nan Yinglin became more and more angry, rushed out and added: "You don't have to stay alive!" ”

Shen Yunzhen saw that he lost his temper, so he naturally refused to stay here to eat melons, so he found a reason and left, leaving Nan Yinglin alone in the room to sulk.

Wen Yuan was still whimpering and roaring at first, but then he spat blood from his mouth, and he didn't even have the slightest sound.

He sat depressed in the room and scratched his head, no one paid attention to him, and his anger gradually subsided.

Without the left and right of the fire, reason was finally able to dominate his brain, and he hurriedly walked out and shouted to the eunuchs who were playing the board: "Stop! ”

Wen Yuan was already lying on the wooden bench and dying, the blood in his mouth slowly flowing down the legs of the stool, sticky on the ground.

Nan Yinglin was a little flustered in her heart, don't you really kill her, right? Although he was panicked, he still pretended to be calm on the surface, and pointed to the eunuch: "Is he still alive?" ”

The eunuch leaned down and tried to snort, it was very weak, but fortunately there was still it.

Nan Yinglin sighed and said, "Pass the imperial doctor to give him a good look." ”

Wen Yuan was rescued back to his room, and the imperial doctors who followed him arrived in a moment, and several imperial doctors fought at night, busy all night, and finally pulled Wen Yuan back from the edge of death.

His internal organs were damaged, he vomited blood all night, had a high fever for three days and three nights, his body was hot like iron that had just been burned red, and he was muttering nonsense in his mouth.

Nan Yinglin also regretted that he had taken a heavy shot, Wen Yuan had followed him since he was a child, although he committed the crime of bullying the king this time, but after all, it was also out of the kindness of calming people. He was afraid that he would be angry, and he would revoke the imperial history, for fear that he would cause the anger of the courtiers!

The room was silent, he didn't light the lamp, he sat alone in the dark.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and Shen Yunzhen walked in with a small bean and bamboo lamp in her hand, she didn't speak, just lit the lights and candles in the palace one by one, walked to him again, and put the bean and bamboo lamp on his table.

"Why are you here?" He asked.

"Come and see you, I heard you're not in a good mood." She asked softly: "Wen Yuan's matter is my fault, I shouldn't talk too much." ”

He smiled and shook his head: "I don't blame you, it's his fault first, and I can't control my anger for a while." ”

Shen Yunzhen's gaze fell on an unstamped holy decree on the table: "This is?" ”

Nan Yinglin smiled: "As soon as General Luo Ru took three notebooks in a row to ask for battle, I felt that he was a usable talent, so I wanted to try it." ”

Shen Yun nodded genuinely: "Listening to Sister Su, Luo Ru's army is known as the Iron Army, and it has always been known as an iron wall. At the beginning, he was a minister in the same palace as General Xu, and the two had some friction, so it is no wonder that he was so active in asking for war. ”

"Friction?" Nan Yinglin stared at Shen Yunzhen: "You mean?" ”

Shen Yun nodded really: "I heard that the two of them had their own opinions in the court, and they made a fuss, and later General Xu connived at his subordinates to kill one of General Luo's favorite house slaves." ”

"Really?" Nan Yinglin finally showed a smile on his face: "Then you say, who is more powerful, Luo Ru or Xu Yongchang?" ”

Shen Yun really looked at him blankly: "I'm a woman, how can I know this?" ”

He smiled: "Yes, I forgot that he never allowed you to intervene in the government. ”

Shen Yunzhen lowered her eyelids slightly: "But I guess it should be comparable." ”

Nan Yinglin made up his mind, picked up the seal and covered it steadily. The ochre yellow holy decree is stamped with a large vermilion seal, which looks solemn and majestic.

"Have you thought about it?" She asked him with a wink.

He nodded: "Actually, I have been thinking about it for a long time, thinking about what Wen Yuan said. What kind of southern army does not adapt to the climate, then the Su family army is not originally an army stationed in the northern cold, how can the Su family army adapt, but Luo Ru's army can't adapt? There is also Lu Guo, Lu Guo is in civil strife, their old emperor is critically ill, and the little prince is too young to control the scene. It's just that he doesn't fall apart, can he still take the opportunity to attack Daqi? ”

Shen Yunzhen sighed softly, and only said, "It seems to be the truth." ”

Seeing that she agreed with him, Nan Yinglin was a little happy on his face, and hurriedly called the eunuch to come in and stuffed the holy decree into his hand: "Immediately pass the decree, there must be no mistakes." ”

When she saw that the eunuch was gone, she grabbed his arm: "You said last time that you would accompany me to the Crane Garden, but then you didn't make it, and now the weather is getting cooler, if you don't go to see it again, those cranes will soon not know me." ”

"Still playing?" He was tickled by Shen Yun's childish face.

"What's wrong? You don't want to go? She looked at him delicately: "Aren't you done with all those things?" ”

"Yes, but ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Yunzhen had already dragged him by the arm and took him out of Luling Pavilion: "Let's go, let's watch the crane, just the two of us, no one will take it." ”
