526 Reward according to merit
Suddenly, "Click! "A crisp sound of flesh and bones shattering!
---- unusually abrupt sound.
"Die!" Nian Xi carried a long red tassel spear, which pierced directly through the white tiger's head, stabbed it fiercely on the ground, and directly trapped the white tiger.
"Whew! Pounce on ......" The white tiger's head suddenly flowed like blood, and blood mist spurted out!
Nangong Shuyun stood next to him, and was directly sprayed with red tiger blood, and there were also blood drops on his face, and the whole person looked more and more demonic.
His face seemed to reveal a little bit of obscurity.
---- didn't seem to be happy that he didn't kill the white tiger.
And Nian Xi held the spear with one hand, pulled out the bright waist knife with the other, and cut it down fiercely when he aimed it at the tiger's head!
directly chopped off the head of the white tiger.
Blood splattered everywhere, spraying him all over the body, revealing bursts of murderous aura in an instant!
The white tiger is completely dead.
Only then did Nian Xi withdraw his hand, bowed forward and clenched his fists, "Don't be surprised, the evil tiger has been killed by Weichen!" ”
There was silence.
The people who had fled and screamed all stopped and looked back at the dead white tiger in a daze, and the danger alarm had been lifted.
Soon, the crowd let out a burst of exclamations, "The white tiger has been killed!" It's dead! ”
Someone praised: "Nian Xi is really heroic!" Killing a tiger alone is simply unstoppable! ”
Nian Xi didn't care about other people's praise.
He stepped forward to help the emperor up first, and asked, "Your Majesty, are you okay?" Have you ever been injured? ”
The emperor's face was very ugly.
Not to be hurt!
However, the son of a country, how embarrassing it is to be frightened by the white tiger and fall to the ground.
At this moment, Concubine Li Xian suddenly knelt down, "Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty!" ”
Everyone was puzzled.
Concubine Li Xian apologized: "Your Majesty, just now the concubines were too anxious and worried about the emperor's safety, so they accidentally knocked the emperor down and disturbed the holy driver. ”
The Emperor's face softened slightly.
Although it wasn't Concubine Li Xian who knocked him down, this statement gave him a good step down.
It's really rare for Concubine Li Xian to be so understanding.
Moreover, just now, in order to escort her, she rushed over regardless of the danger to her life, which is really affectionate, righteous and responsible.
"I don't blame you." The emperor's gaze at Concubine Li Xian softened more and more, and said: "You are also for protection, loyalty is rare, and besides, I am not injured, get up quickly." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Li Xian was trembling and wanted to get up.
As a result, as soon as she raised her hand and grabbed the little palace maid's hand, she revealed her injured and bleeding wrist, and the blood flowed down the river, and half of her sleeve was already stained red.
Princess Qinshui has always cared about her mother, and she saw it first.
couldn't help but exclaim: "Mother, your hand is injured!" ”
"Huh?" Concubine Li Xian seemed to be an afterthought, so she turned her head to look, and then said in shock: "What's the matter?" No wonder I felt a little pain just now, ouch ......, I really can't see blood, I'm very dizzy. ”
The two little palace maids, one on the left and one on the right, hurriedly supported her.
"Mother beware." Princess Qinshui also rushed over to help support.
"Hurry up and send Concubine Xian down to heal." The emperor said in a deep voice.
Concubine Li Xian looked frightened and said weakly: "Your Majesty, the concubines are a little bloodless, so they retired." ”
The emperor's expression was gentle, "Go ahead, let the imperial doctor bandage you well." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Li Xian thanked her again and again, and then left with her daughter Princess Qinshui.
The Emperor returned to his seat and sat down.
He looked around.
King Qi is gone.
Xiao Shaoxuan protected Lu Ruoqing and Nian Ying, of course, ......, Nian Ying must be incidental.
---- only has a daughter-in-law and no father!
Xiao Hao's eyes couldn't see, and she was still sitting in her original position, and Princess Sanssouci was so frightened that she shrank into a ball and didn't say anything.
The rest of the princes, princesses, and concubines were also hiding, shrinking, and under the threat of being threatened by the white tiger, they all thought about saving their lives first.
Only Concubine Li Xian stupidly took the initiative to rush up to escort her.
The emperor's heart couldn't help but soften.
Thinking of Concubine Li Xian's poor death again, guarding a daughter for so many years, eating fasting and reciting Buddha, the more he thought about it, the more distressed he became.
Commending Concubine Li Xian for escorting that is certain, but not now.
The emperor looked at Nian Xi first, this is also a stupid boy who is brave and loyal, very good, very good.
Therefore, the decree was issued: "The commander of the year LinkedIn is brave and meritorious, and he is specially rewarded with the title of Marquis of Zhongyong, and he is also promoted to the deputy commander of the Janissaries." ”
Nian Xi hurriedly knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”
The guards and janissaries next to him all looked at him, and their eyes showed envy.
Nian Xi made a meritorious contribution to killing the tiger this time, not only won the title of Marquis, but also promoted to the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard!
You must know that the commander of the Praetorian Guard is nearly fifty years old, and he will be old in a few years.
At that time, it will definitely be Nian Xi's position as the top commander.
Tsk, a lifetime of glory and wealth is gone.
The guards were envious.
Nian Xi didn't think about it so much.
In his opinion, he just did what he was supposed to do.
Nangong Shuyun suddenly stepped forward and pleaded: "Your Majesty, this ...... is all my fault!" I really didn't expect that this white tiger suddenly went berserk and almost disturbed the holy driver. ”
The emperor looked at him with a gloomy face and was silent.
In fact, the white tiger did not threaten him, let alone hurt him.
But......
This chaos was indeed caused by Nangong Shuyun.
If it weren't for the fact that he was the prince of Nanshu Kingdom, and thinking that the peace talks had just ended, the emperor would have spoken out to punish the crime a long time ago.
But now, the emperor still endured it, "That's it, you can't expect the white tiger to go crazy, you can't blame it all." Besides, you also rushed to escort the car as soon as possible. ”
The emperor has his own discretion in his heart, for the sake of temporary anger, it is not cost-effective to use troops to fight a war and consume the treasury.
"Thank you for your forgiveness." Nangong Shuyun seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
However, he still apologized again and again, "Although the emperor is magnanimous and doesn't care, but I ...... that I really don't want to go in my heart, and I still have to make some compensation." ”
Nangong Shuyun immediately walked towards the Nanshu State Mission.
He said: "Today, because of the mistake in the arrangement of the Nanshu Kingdom, the Central Plains Emperor was frightened, so ......, I decided to make a compensation and return Yuyun County to the Central Plains Imperial Court." ”
"No!"
"The Four Princes can't!"
The envoy of the Southern Shu Kingdom suddenly exploded noisily.
Lu Ruoqing couldn't understand it, and asked sideways, "What does Yuyun County say?" ”
Xiao Shaoxuan explained: "At the junction of the Central Plains and Southern Xinjiang, there is a small county in the middle of nowhere, full of mountains and poor soil, and at its peak, there were no more than 100 households in the county. ”
"What do you mean about restitution?" Lu Ruoqing asked.
"In the past, when the Central Plains and Nanshu were at war, Yuyun County was beaten to pieces, and the people of this county were almost gone."
"The soldiers in southern Xinjiang took the opportunity to station and announced that Yuyun County was theirs."
"In this peace talks, there was originally a negotiation of Yuyun County, but later the imperial court thought that Yuyun County was not of much value, so it gave up Yuyun County because of other interests."
Xiao Shaoxuan finally said: "Now Nangong Shuyun proposes to return Yuyun County, but it's just chicken ribs. ”
Lu Ruoqing chuckled, "The food is tasteless, and I can't give it up." ”
"However......" Xiao Shaoxuan sighed, "Standing in the position of the imperial court and his father, every inch of land is valuable, and the value of recovering Yuyun County is not great, but the significance is not small." ”
Lu Ruoqing nodded when she heard this, "I understand." ”
What she doesn't understand now is whether the return of Yuyun County has anything to do with today's tigers hurting people?
How can you look at it, it seems that Nangong Shuyun has prepared a means of appeasement.
But......
Nangong Shuyun didn't seem to be going to assassinate the emperor, so why bother to make such a fright, and then return Yuyun County? Even if Nanshu didn't suffer too many losses, it would be a loss.
Lu Ruoqing was a little puzzled.
The envoys of the Southern Shu Kingdom were noisy and noisy, and they all said no.
In the end, Nangong Shuyun said loudly: "This prince is the main envoy of this peace talks, I can say yes!" As for the consequences of giving up Yuyun County, after returning to China, I will also bear it myself! ”
---- actually made a direct decision.
Of course, the emperor was satisfied with this compensation.
Therefore, there was no politeness, "Since the four princes are so sincere, then I will understand it." ”
Although the emperor was frightened, he would not suffer a loss if he could get back a Yuyun County, so why tear his face? Calculate the benefits, as long as you don't suffer losses.
A turmoil was successfully resolved.
Lu Ruoqing felt suspicious.
I always felt that Nangong Shuyun's calm face seemed to have succeeded in some conspiracy.
---- is really suspicious.
Speaking of which, why did the tiger suddenly go crazy? Why did the animal tamer go straight to the emperor? Why did Nangong Shuyun react so quickly, and he was about to kill the tiger directly?
Especially, after Nian Xi killed the White Tiger first, Nangong Shuyun's face was very unsightly.
In other words, Nangong Shuyun was probably premeditated to make an injured white tiger go crazy, and then he rushed to rescue him, but he was robbed of the credit by Nian Xi.
That's why his face is very ugly.
But after this, Nangong Shuyun did not fight with Nian Xi for credit, but immediately offered compensation, and quickly appeased the emperor's anger with a Yuyun County.
All of this is too much to come to fruition.
However, the doubts in Lu Ruoqing's heart soon had an answer.
Immediately after the feast, the emperor gave the order.
Concubine Li Xian was canonized as the imperial concubine because of her meritorious service in saving the car regardless of her life, took charge of the six palace affairs, and received the post of deputy queen.
However, Concubine Li Xian insisted on not accepting it.
said that he was not worthy of the position, and he did not dare to be qualified for the position of deputy queen, and he was already trembling in the position of the virtuous concubine.
Concubine Li Xian pleaded with the emperor for only one thing, saying that her knees were empty, and begging to pass on the eleventh prince to her.
If she gets her wish, she will have no regrets in this life.
"The emperor agreed, and passed the eleventh prince to Concubine Li Xian." Ti Ying finally said.
"I see." Lu Ruoqing sighed softly.
"Stand down." Xiao Shaoxuan's face was covered with dark clouds, he waved back, and then slammed his fist on the table, "I didn't expect Nangong Shuyun to collude with Concubine Li Xian!" ”
