Leng Nanxian was silent, and the emperor was even more annoyed: "At such a great risk, transfer grain and rice." Maybe it's for splurge, but there's a bigger possibility! Just need it! As for the intention, do you still need me to point it out to you? If you don't have to raise an army, can you use so much grain and rice? And what to do with raising the army in private is even more self-evident!

Moreover, this person can control the imperial examination of my Chang'an Dynasty, the party is the same and different, the power can be seen, and the ambition is also obvious. Leng Nanxian, think about it yourself, what crime have you committed?! ”

Leng Nanxian lowered his head: "The grass people are guilty." ”

"Not only do you want to be convicted, you are knowingly guilty!"

The Emperor finally couldn't hold back his thunderous rage.

"I just want to atone for Lord Xia, I'm short-sighted and haven't thought about it so thoroughly."

"Beauty and lust mislead the country, that's the truth, if you tolerate the adulterer, so that the person can recuperate, and finally the conspiracy succeeds, you Leng Nanxian will be a sinner for the ages."

Leng Nanxian has nothing to argue, because what the emperor said is not alarmist. He really made a big mistake. The simple corruption case can't expose so much, coupled with the fraud in the science field, it shows more and more the power of that person to cover the sky.

Nanxian is guilty and willing to accept the punishment, and implores the emperor to surrender his guilt. But this matter has nothing to do with An Sheng, and An Sheng is completely unaware. ”

The emperor sighed lightly: "You have a talent for serving the country, but you are dazzled by beauty, you and your father are worlds apart, one is a bird, the other is a bird, it's a pity." ”

Leng Nanxian knelt on the ground, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes: "I have failed the emperor's hope, Nanxian is ashamed, and he deserves death." ”

"What's the use of me killing you? What I want is peace for my family and country, and for the people to live in peace, what more can I expect from you? It's better to let Ansheng, a little girl, marry and marry far away, and make up for the loss. The Emperor sighed faintly again.

"Remedying?" Leng Nanxian asked in surprise: "What does Heqin have to do with this case?" ”

The emperor snorted lightly: "In my Chang'an, the second prince is weak, and it is indeed a good opportunity for the eldest prince to get rid of him, but what the maid beside him said is thought-provoking."

Xiliang is already a defeated general under my Chang'an, and he can't withstand the strength of my Chang'an's soldiers, how can he be so stupid, knowing that he can't do it, and make a provocation to assassinate the second prince and frame Chang'an? She keeps saying that she wants to provoke the two countries to fight each other and hit the stone with an egg, what kind of purpose will she have? ”

Leng Nanxian's seven tricks are exquisite, and the emperor is just a little bit of an empowerment, and he suddenly raised his head: "The Xiliang war is together, and the Marquis of Dingguo and Yu Shizi are duty-bound, and they will definitely send troops to resist, so ...... The emptiness within my Chang'an will give people a chance to take advantage of! ”

The corner of the emperor's lips flashed an imperceptible smile, which was fleeting: "If someone takes the opportunity to rebel again, Yu Shizi will definitely not be able to take care of both sides, the other party will succeed, cut off the back road of the army, join forces with Xiliang, and they will definitely be defeated." Chang'an, can it still be peaceful? ”

On the back of Leng Nanxian, a layer of fine cold sweat unconsciously oozed out.

The emperor's analysis is extremely reasonable, and such a possibility cannot be ruled out!

So, who is colluding with Xiliang and betraying the country for glory?

He felt a deep sense of trepidation and fear, he was really confused for a while!

"What the emperor means is to say that it is false to let An Sheng and pro-Xiliang be, let her take the opportunity to spy on who is the person who colluded with the prince of Xiliang to rebel?"

The emperor nodded: "To be favored by so many people, Xia Ansheng, a little girl, I have also paid attention, she is smart, wise and brave, and she can be of great use." Therefore, I will call the shots, let her and Qin Xiliang, you and Yu Shizi also happened to break this thought, and we will kill many birds with one stone. ”

As a generation of emperors, it is indeed understandable for the emperor to do this, and it is a very wise approach, Leng Nanxian cannot refute it.

For a while, the emperor did not speak.

He knelt on the ground, sweating profusely, showing the tangle and trepidation in his heart.

Twilight has gradually fallen, it is hazy outside the window, and the imperial study is even darker, and it is impossible to see each other's eyebrows and expressions.

After a long time, Leng Nanxian finally couldn't hold his breath.

"Your Majesty," Leng Nanxian said with difficulty: "Nanxian is confused, and it is not a pity to die, but if Nanxian is willing to make up for his mistakes and ask himself to investigate this rebel, can the emperor be merciful and let An Sheng stay." ”

The Emperor rested his head on the back of his chair, full of tiredness: "Why should I believe you? ”

Leng Nanxian groaned slightly, and then said loudly: "Because, Nanxian is the best person to investigate this matter." ”

"How so?"

"First, Nanxian is not an official in the imperial court, so he will not attract the attention of that person.

Second, in the case of the Cangqiao fire, Nanxian participated in the investigation, and he had to understand the ins and outs of it more than others than others.

Third, Nanxian has its own independent and perfect news network, although it is used for business, but it is all over Chang'an, well-informed, no less than the government. ”

The emperor straightened up and looked at him: "Will you give it your all?" ”

"Absolutely give it your all. Please rest assured that Nanxian will not disappoint your expectations this time. ”

The emperor snorted coldly: "It's a pity it's late!" Leng Nanxian, if you had said this earlier, I might have forgiven you, but now, you are already a guilty body, even if you can make up for your mistakes, it is only to make up for your own guilt, why should you negotiate conditions with me? ”

Leng Nanxian was in a cold sweat, which made the cold wind gust at the back of his back: "Nanxian is too guilty, I don't ask the emperor for forgiveness, I just ask the emperor to stay in peace." ”

"You mean that you are willing to accept the guilt, and even willing to exchange merit for Xia Ansheng to stay in Chang'an?"

Leng Nanxian nodded categorically: "Yes." ”

"What if I want to confiscate your family property and expel you from the capital?"

Leng Nanxian's body couldn't help shaking, and he gritted his teeth: "This is Nanxian's own sin, so naturally he will bear it himself." ”

"If you become nothing, do you think that she Xia Ansheng will still wander the world with you?" The emperor chuckled: "Don't forget, she also has a Yu Jingyun." ”

Leng Nanxian was silent for a while.

"You still have one last chance to regret it."

Leng Nanxian clenched his fists and shook his head slowly: "No regrets." ”

The emperor snorted softly from the end of his nose: "Then you can go, go back and wait for my decree." ”

Leng Nanxian hesitated slightly, secretly gritted his teeth, stood up slowly, and slowly withdrew from the imperial study. For a while, he seemed to be carrying a thousand heavy burdens on his body, and he couldn't breathe.

Outside the imperial study, Yu Jingyun was still waiting, and he smiled proudly when he saw him.

Leng Nanxian was depressed, didn't say a word, turned around and was about to leave.

Yu Jingyun said faintly: "You don't have to be so depressed, you and I have a relationship, if there is anything you want to bring to An Sheng, I am willing to pass on the word." After all, it's easier for me to see her now. ”

Yu Jingyun's words, as well as the smugness on his face, made Leng Nanxian feel alarmed, and blurted out: "Fooled!" ”

Yu Jingyun hooked his lips slightly, so he had a good time.

Leng Nanxian gritted his teeth in frustration, and only later realized that he had fallen for the emperor.

If the emperor really made a decree to let An Sheng go to make peace, Yu Jingyun would never look at himself so leisurely and gloat! With his impatient temper, he had already jumped up.

The emperor is going to threaten himself with An Sheng and his relatives, so that he can take the initiative to invite Ying to participate in this matter.

I was walking on thin ice in front of the emperor, but I didn't expect this, and I was reprimanded by the emperor, and I really obediently got into the trap!

However, he is guilty first, and he knows that it is a trap, so he must drill and take this responsibility.

An Sheng entered the palace all the way nervously, and the eunuch took her directly to the concubine's palace.

Concubine Ji is peeling walnuts and eating them.

The palace maid in front of her was holding a small brass hammer in her hand, and when she knocked it down gently, the walnut suddenly cracked.

It is a paper walnut.

The palace maid's slender fingertips flew up, and soon peeled off a whole walnut kernel. Remove the kernels from the inside and place the walnuts in a white tray on the side.

When Concubine Ji saw An Sheng coming in, she saluted respectfully to herself, got up and changed into a comfortable position.

"Sit down."

An Sheng thanked Concubine Ji for giving him a seat, and sat aside with his head down.

Concubine Ji instructed the palace maid, "Take these walnut kernels to Miss Ansheng to eat." ”

The palace maid lowered her head, and then asked, "Niangniang, you haven't eaten enough five today, do you need to peel some more?" ”

Concubine Ji frowned: "It's already bitter in my mouth, I don't have any appetite, and it's even more bitter to eat this." If it weren't for the dragon in my stomach, I wouldn't want to eat a bite. ”

An Sheng secretly raised his face to see that Concubine Ji's lower abdomen was slightly bulging, obviously pregnant.

Concubine Ji was born noble, the emperor followed him when he was still in the mansion, and now that she is pregnant, if she can give birth to a prince, think about it, the queen's position should be nine out of ten.

The Prince's Mansion has also risen and become more prominent.

The palace maid brought the walnut kernel over and put it in An Sheng's hand.

An Sheng sat upright, where was he in the mood to taste?

"Two days ago, I entered the palace and told me that you lived in the Hou Mansion for a few days, and you seem to have had a little misunderstanding with my mother?" Concubine Ji asked slowly.

An Sheng carefully considered it and said, "It is indeed a little misunderstanding. ”

"My mother has been in charge of the Hou Mansion for many years, and she is used to being flattered by others, so this temperament is somewhat stronger. And Jingyun is a muddy person, a natural little overlord, no one in the house can take him, I am used to it. The two of them always come to each other when they do things, and no one will let anyone. So Mother Xu is a little prejudiced against you, Miss Ansheng don't take it to heart. ”

An Sheng didn't know how to explain to Concubine Ji for a while.

After all, it doesn't matter much whether you take it to heart or not. I am about to be close to Xiliang and stay away from Chang'an, and all the things in the past are all in smoke.

She smiled bitterly: "It's okay. ”

Concubine Ji bowed her head and said, "I am not polite to say such a thing to you today. After all, I know Jingyun's temperament, he looks like a fairy on the outside, but in his heart he lives with a devil, and no one can tame him. As long as he recognizes something, there is absolutely no one to run. If you enter the Hou Mansion in the future and get along with my mother in embarrassment, Jingyun will be in a dilemma in the middle. ”

An Sheng couldn't help but raise his head in surprise: "Enter the Hou Mansion?" ”
