Two days later, Ming Chenyuan led an army of 100,000 to arrive outside Cangyu City and stationed on the spot. That night, King Jiang set up a banquet in the palace to wash the dust for Ming Chenyuan, and Wei Nong was also at the banquet. Because of their own hearts, this banquet was eaten very sloppily, and the guests and hosts hurriedly dispersed after fulfilling their etiquette, leaving time for Wei Nong and Ming Chenyuan to speak.

Mingchen didn't wait for her to speak, and asked first: "Deputy Zuo sent a letter saying that after you escaped from King Ning's Palace, you stayed in the Yan Army camp for one night and disappeared, what's going on?" ”

Missing? It's a very good word to put the blame on. Wei Nong didn't explain: "I found something suspicious and wanted to tell you." ”

"What's the matter?" Ming Chenyuan's expression is natural.

Wei Nong bit his lower lip, decided not to beat around the bush, and asked directly: "Tell me first, have you already reversed?" ”

Ming Chenyuan was silent for a moment, and simply nodded: "Yes." ”

"Why so fast? We clearly said okay, you go back to Yan Kingdom to stabilize the situation first! Wei Nong was very annoyed.

"Nie Xingyi has decided to belong to Ning Guo, I can't watch him ignore the people of Yan Kingdom for his own selfish desires and ruin His Highness's foundation!" Ming Chen was far more angry than Wei Nong.

"He has decided to belong to Ning Guo, you can clamp him down, you can threaten him! How can you say the opposite? Wei Nong paused, and wanted to say a few heavy words, but he didn't say anything after all, only said: "What are you going to do?" Do you want to turn your back on Yan Guo? Do you want to be infamy? ”

"It's not that I want to turn my back on Yan Guo, it's Nie Xingyi who turns my back!" Ming Chenyuan's face was solemn: "Now I just want to fight for breath and fight with Ning Guo to the end!" Nie Xingyi wants to be a coward, I won't do it! Yan Guo hasn't lost yet! Whether it's a good reputation or an infamy, I admit it. ”

Wei Nong looked at him carefully, as if he wanted to see the truth of his words from his face, seeing that he looked upright, Wei Nong was not easy to judge, so he had to reprimand: "You are too impulsive, at least wait for me to come back from Ningguo and discuss with me!" ”

"I can't wait, when the eldest princess and I return to Yan Kingdom, the Definition Hou has already gone to Ning Kingdom! Nie Xingyi had already prepared his will, and he didn't discuss it with the courtiers at all, and planned to announce it to the world before we went back! The more Ming Chenyuan spoke, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but slap the table hard: "I was angry, and I directly led someone to break into the Longqian Palace to question him, and then he was charged with 'rebellion'. ”

"Isn't that a trap? How can you be fooled? Wei Nong was extremely anxious after hearing this.

"I'm not that stupid, although it's like a rebellion, but the banner I played is 'protect the family and defend the country' and stop Nie Xingyi from defecting to Ning!" Ming Chenyuan snorted coldly: "If it weren't for King Ning's sudden announcement of war, I would have had to lead my troops here, and I would have killed Nie Xingyi's traitor at this time!" ”

"You've already had a confrontation head-on? How many troops does he have? Wei Nong asked the most important thing.

"Less than 50,000, and the disparity in the number of His Highness's cronies' troops, it is impossible for him to defeat us." Ming Chenyuan is full of confidence.

"Nie Xingyi has been set up for many years, but he can still have 50,000 horses to serve him, it's not easy." Wei Thick felt a little calmer, and then asked: "Did you tell him about his life experience?" ”

As soon as he talked about this, Ming Chenyuan was angry again: "No, I wanted to expose his life experience, but the eldest princess didn't let me, saying that it was a shame for the Yan royal family, which was detrimental to Gaozong's wisdom." I don't understand, he was originally fake, why didn't he let it be exposed? ”

Wei Nong also disapproved of exposure, but her position was different from that of the eldest princess: "It's right not to be exposed, if Nie Xingyi's life experience is exposed, everyone will know that there is no successor to the Yan royal family, and there will be no one or two who will rebel at that time, and the ministers with great power will be rebellious." If he is not exposed now, at least everything is still stable, and the situation is still controllable. ”

Ming Chenyuan really didn't expect this step, and when he heard Wei Nong say this at this moment, he was also shocked to sweat: "Hearing you say this, the top priority is to take back all the talismans?" ”

"Most of the military power is in your hands, and the rest, such as the Gyeonggi Guard, as well as the military talismans that are transferred from various states, are useless to take them back. What they should have been wooed a long time ago, without a military talisman, they can still transfer troops and buy people's hearts. He sighed slightly: "The reason why everyone is standing still now is probably because Nie Xingyi is orthodox and wants to see how far you can go." ”

When Ming Chenyuan heard this, he only felt that he had drunk too much wine at the banquet tonight, and he had a headache at the moment: "In the past, His Royal Highness always thought that he could rest assured that he would take the military power in his own hands, and he couldn't look down on ordinary generals, so now he doesn't even have a military general who can be used!" If it weren't for the lack of people to lead the troops, I wouldn't have been transferred by His Highness to Chudi to quell the chaos, maybe His Highness wouldn't have died! Now I won't be in a dilemma, neither will I stay in Yan Kingdom, nor will I go to Youzhou to fight against Ning! ”

Ming Chenyuan said, the grief and anger in his chest were even more difficult to express, and he couldn't help but slam his fist on the table.

This is the consequence of Nie Xingji's conceit, and Wei Nong felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he knew that it was not the time to lose his temper, so he asked him again: "Do you have a way back now?" It must be known that once the label of 'rebellion' is taken off, many things will not be easy to handle. ”

Fortunately, Ming Chenyuan was still sensible and nodded: "Yes, Lian Pian persuaded me not to do things too desperately, so I have never publicly declared it, only saying that it was 'protecting the family and defending the country' and refused to surrender to Ning." However, His Royal Highness's descendants have all changed my military flags to distinguish them from Nie Xingyi's men and horses. ”

"What about the ministers of the DPRK and China? How much do you know? "Wei Nong cares more about that.

"In front of His Highness's cronies, I insisted on preserving His Highness's inheritance. As for the other courtiers, although I knew that it was like a rebellion, I only spoke with the handle that Nie Xingyi wanted to 'descend to Ning', and I did not openly admit it. ”

"That's good." A slightly thick hanging heart finally fell heavily. Above the court, many things pay attention to a "name", even if Ming Chenyuan has done something, as long as he is still a courtier of the Yan royal family in terms of name, and has not publicly said anything about rebellion, everything will have time to be remedied.

"If you don't do things perfectly, you can't count as 'rebellion'. The military flag can be exchanged back, you can go to the front line with peace of mind, leave the affairs in the palace to me, and I will govern Nie Xingyi. Wei Nong said so.

"You don't have military power, you can't govern him." Ming Chenyuan hit her directly: "The eldest princess hates him so much, she didn't tear her face with him, and she also took into account that he still has 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands." ”

"So you must win this battle, only by winning can our confidence be stronger." As soon as Wei Nong thought of Yan Ning's current situation, he felt that his head was big, what could he do if he won Youzhou? There are also Minzhou, Fengzhou, Yanzhou and so on...... Unless you fight to the end and capture the capital, it will be impossible to come back in disgrace. However, it is said that it is to capture Ningguo, and it is not easy to talk about it without Nie Xingji in charge!

"After all this time, you haven't said it, what the hell are you trying to tell me?" Mingchen still remembers this from afar.

Only then did Wei Nong remember that there was still this big thing to say! Although Yunchen had warned her and asked her to beware of Ming Chenyuan, what happened in the Yan army camp that day also made her feel that Ming Chenyuan did have objections. But now that he talked to him, Wei Nong felt that he should still trust him, at least at this stage, he was still loyal to Nie Xingji in his heart.

So, Wei Nong decided to tell him the speculation that Nie Xingji might not be dead, but after thinking about it, she didn't know where to start. It seems that as long as Nie Xingji's life and death are involved, the relationship between King Ning and him must be mentioned.

Wei Min took a deep breath, lowered his eyes and said, "I have to tell you one thing first, about his relationship with King Ning......"

Throughout the night, Wei Nong told everything about Nie Xingji being King Ning's grandson, including her later wrestling with King Ning, how she escaped from Lidu, and met a strange team of people in Fengzhou...... Until the matter of "moving the coffin" that King Jiang said.

From beginning to end, Ming Chenyuan listened silently, only frowning when Wei Nong said "moving the coffin": "Don't you know about this matter?" ”

Wei Nong was confused when he heard it: "I am in King Ning Palace, how can I know?" ”

Ming Chenyuan's face sank: "I remember very clearly, at the beginning of the lunar month, I wrote a letter to send a flying pigeon to Youzhou, and ordered someone to send it to Ningwang Palace for 800 miles to be sent to you." There was a reply from the palace in the twenty days of the lunar month, or your handwritten letter, saying that you had agreed to move the coffin. ”

"My handwritten letter?" Wei Nong's face was even heavier: "How many days will the letter be signed?" ”

"It's the twentieth day of the lunar month." Ming Chenyuan replied: "It is precisely because you agreed that the eldest princess specially went to Jiang Country to preside over the removal of the coffin for Her Royal Highness." ”

On the twentieth day of the lunar month, she hadn't escaped yet! If she remembered correctly, it should have been her first day at Yuan Che's private residence! Wei Nong was furious for a while: "King Ning never mentioned this matter at all, and I didn't write any personal letters!" ”

Ming Chenyuan also realized that he had been fooled, and he was a little more annoyed with King Ning: "Neither I nor the eldest princess recognize your handwriting, we only feel that this matter has nothing to do with King Ning, the deceased is the greatest, and he has no reason to stop it, so he believes it when he sees the letter." Why didn't he let you know? I really don't understand. ”

Wei Nong silently listed those useful clues in his heart: when Nie Xingji and Qi Zhan died, Ji Fengzhi was present; Ji Fengzhi was born in Momen; Momen has a secret recipe for fake death; King Ning is Nie Xingji's maternal grandfather and Qi Zhan's grandfather; King Ning concealed the removal of the coffin from her and bought a large number of herbs; There are also things that were escorted by 5,000 people on the night of the Lantern Festival......

Wei Nong faintly felt that she was very close to the truth, she had a bold guess in her heart, and immediately asked, "What did you write in the letter?" ”

"It's nothing more than the location of the mausoleum, feng shui, how much manpower and financial resources King Jiang spent, and the day when the coffin was moved...... Ming Chen came to this point, and found that Wei Nong looked at him with wide eyes, and suddenly "chuckled" in his heart: "Oh no! ”

"Oops!" The two spoke in unison. Wei Nong almost lost his voice and shouted: "Quick! Go to the mausoleum! ”
