Sixty-nine, dawn looks at the sky and twilight looks at the clouds

Dawn looks at the sky and twilight looks at the clouds. Walk and think, sit and think.

"The Book of the Kingdom of Guizi?" The regent's eyelids jumped, what kind of letter did Qiuzi write to Nan Xiang if he had nothing to do? He hadn't heard of any dealings between Guizi and Nanxiang before.

There are so many bad things that the regent is too lazy to ask about everything. just turned around and asked the lower officials to put away the letter of state, and then didn't ask anymore.

Xia Guan secretly breathed a sigh of relief while putting away the letter. To know the contents of this letter, it will cause an uproar. This is also the reason why Emperor Nanxiang did not announce this letter to the world.

Fortunately, the most troublesome thing for the regent at the moment is that the civil strife between the Nanxiang and the troops of the Nangong Clan, such as Jinzhou Linzhou, will be calmed down as soon as possible, and the rest of the things will be talked about slowly.

"Where's the dust? Tell him to come to my study at once. "The regent has a lot of importance to Nangong Chen, and he is willing to teach him a lesson in many things, so as to support him to sit on the throne of the crown prince as soon as possible.

Although Nangong Chen did not live in the prince's mansion and assumed the name of the prince, the real power in his hands was no different from that in the hands of the prince.

On the other hand, although the former crown prince Nangong Che was not far from the palace, he was given real power by the regent and was not allowed to interfere in the political affairs of Nangong Che, which was equivalent to directly cutting off the possibility of Nangong Che being in power.

In the study, Nangong Chen and the regent were in the process of intensively rearranging and preparing for the war in Jinzhou.

Xia Guan suddenly walked in in a hurry, leaned over and whispered in the regent's ear, "The regent has another letter of state from Qiuzi today, do you want to take a look?" ”

The regent reluctantly put down the map in his hand, got up, and walked with the subordinate to another place in the main hall, before he stopped, and instructed the subordinate official, "Go and bring the letter of state that I told you to collect before." ”

Somehow, the regent always faintly felt in his heart that maybe this letter of state this time would be related to the letter he had seen before.

The lower official's face seemed to change a little suddenly, but he only dared to bow his head, "Yes." It seems that there are some things that he has the intention to prevent and is powerless to change, and since this is already the case, he has to wait to see the results.

The lower official handed over the two copies of the letters of state to the regent. I wanted to say something, but in the end I didn't say everything, and after the regent saw it, I believed that he had made up his mind.

The regent opened the letter of state that he had seen before, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, and the fire in his heart was faintly burning.

Before he could finish reading the national letter in his hand, he angrily slapped the envelope in front of the lower official's eyes and said angrily: "Why didn't anyone tell this king about this matter before?" ”

"Who gave you the guts?" The lower official hurriedly knelt down, trembled all over, knelt on the ground and shouted, "The lower official really doesn't know about this matter, and I ask the regent to spare his life." ”

The regent patted the agarwood chair next to his hand vigorously, almost crushing the armrests on the chair. His chest rose and fell sharply, and it was obvious that he was trying his best to suppress his emotions at the moment.

Hearing the answer of the lower official, the regent only felt ridiculous in his heart, and sneered: "I don't know? Well, I don't know. "Could it be that he treats Nangong Bing as a fool?

In the letter, Nangong Cheng, the lord of the Nanxiang Kingdom and his good brother Nangong Cheng, had already agreed, and married his daughter Nangong Youyou to the prince of Qiuci Linghu and set a date for marriage.

and made a non-aggression agreement with Qiuzi, and his Nangong Bing's own daughter Nangong Yiyou is just an innocent victim of this agreement.

This made him Nangong Bing not angry in his heart! 's own daughter, even if she is passed on to her brother, now that she is a princess, she has to be married to the country of Qiuzi, in exchange for any father, I am afraid that she will not be able to accept this kind of thing calmly.

"Regent, let the officials say a word." The lower official suddenly said, "Actually, Princess Changning's marriage to the Guizi Kingdom is not necessarily a bad thing. ”

"Since it's not a bad thing, why don't you see Lord Xia marrying his beloved daughter to Qiuzi?" Nangong Chen didn't know when he was standing behind the two of them, and he had already listened to the conversation between the two of them just now.

"This, this ......" the subordinate suddenly became distracted. replied with a dry smile: "Xiaguan's daughter doesn't have that blessing, and she can't share her worries for Nanxiang, it's all due to Xiaguan's lack of teaching on weekdays." ”

Nangong Chen wanted to say more, but the regent stopped him from continuing, "Okay." "Now that it's useless to argue, there's no need to bother with words.

The regent put an end to the quarrel between the two. Open the new letter sent by the country of Qiuzi in his hand. pursed his lips and looked at it without saying a word.

In this letter of state, the lord of Qiuci wants to finalize some details of the marriage contract between the two countries with him.

Since the marriage between the two countries has been agreed, there is no possibility of repentance. What's more, Nan Xiang is such a princess who has been officially canonized, and if he doesn't marry, then only his sister Zhenxue, who is the county lord, will be left.

After comparing the two in his heart, the regent finally made a decision and gritted his teeth and agreed to the marriage.

Will marry Yiyou to Qiuzi and marry Qiuci in exchange for the peace of the border between the two countries, as well as Qiuzi's current support for the southern minister.

In the long run, this marriage will be beneficial to the country of Qiuci and will not do any harm, so there is no reason for the country of Qiuzi not to agree to their request.

Nangong Chen looked at the regent, and had already begun to prepare to reply to the Guizi Kingdom, allowing this family affair, and was unwilling in his heart, so he hurriedly dissuaded: "Uncle Wang, Chen'er thinks that we should ask Yiyou's opinion on this matter." ”

Unexpectedly, the regent didn't pay attention to his proposal, but patted him on the shoulder and reminded: "If you want to achieve the great cause of the world, you must learn to give up some things, and I think you still need to hone and hone on this point." ”

If there is only one princess, you can exchange it for peace and peace on the border of Nanxiangguo for decades or even nearly a hundred years. Then everyone must be happy to see this result.

As for whether the sacrificed women really got happiness, it was not something that they, civil officials and historians, should worry about.

Nangong Chen lowered his head and did not answer. In his heart, there is a fierce struggle between heaven and man. On the one hand, he has been planning for a long time, and on the other hand, his dearest sister, who is about to sacrifice her lifelong happiness for his country.

Nangong Chen found himself in a dilemma, as if no matter how he chose, it was wrong. But neither of these two options was his original intention.

How could the regent not understand the complex contradictions in Nangong Luo's heart at this time, sighed, and comforted: "That's it, don't leave this matter to me to deal with." ”

Nangong Chen came back to his senses after hearing this, and then nodded. The regent seemed to suddenly get a lot older again, and both of them had no intention of continuing to discuss the affairs of Jinzhou, so the regent waved his hand, "If you have time during this time, you can accompany her more." ”

"Hmm." Nangong Chen nodded and left the palace without saying a word. There are many things written on the face, but they can't be hidden.

Relying on women to win the world, is this still the world he once wanted?

I thought that he had despised his second brother at the beginning, relying on the Khitan and the three capital of the northwest to consolidate his position, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen to him soon.

But if you are afraid, you will come to whatever you want. As soon as Nangong Chen came out of the garden, he bumped into the people who came to the pool to walk and feed the fish, Nangong Yiyou and Nangong Zhenxue.

"Third brother." They greeted him cheerfully and beckoned him to pass. Nangong Chen hurriedly moved the event to greet them with a smile on the queen's already stiff face.

"Third brother, you just came from your father's side?" Yiyou sideways his eyes and guessed from the direction from which Nangong Chen came.

Nangong Chen looked at her but was stunned, and only reacted after a few seconds. "Hmm."

Zhenxue put her hand under Nangong Chen's eyelids and shook it, and asked, "Third brother, are you okay?" What's wrong? "How do you feel today, the third brother also looks listless.

"Nothing." Nangong Chen shook his head slightly, his attitude was clear that he didn't want to tell the two, and he refused to ask the two more.

also leisurely tightened his heart, and then guessed a possibility. asked: "Third brother, is there another accident over there in Jinzhou?" Otherwise you wouldn't be like this. ”

Nangong Chen shook his head, those words were clearly on his lips, but it was such a rare thing to want to say it.

He looked like he was spitting, and even Zhenxue couldn't stand it, "Third brother, if you have anything to say, just say it, if you have something in your heart, we will be uncomfortable to watch." ”

Nangong Chen's gaze swept over Zhenxue, "Zhenxue, you avoid it first." I have something to say to Yiyou. Zhenxue paused unhappily and retorted: "I'm also your sister, why can't I listen." ”

Yiyou couldn't help but be amused by Zhenxue's words, and said to Nangong Chen, "It's okay, third brother." Let's talk about it here. ”

After a long silence, Nangong Chen finally broke the silence, he looked at Yiyou, although the words he was going to say in the future were not necessarily what Yiyou wanted to hear, but they must be about herself, and she had the right to know this. Convey the words that came out to her.

"Yiyou." Nangong Chen suddenly didn't dare to look at Yiyou's eyes, "Nan Xiang and Guizi have already decided to get married, and you won't have any room to regret this matter in the future." ”

"What!" Zhenxue let out an exclamation in surprise, "You mean, my sister is going to marry Qiuzi soon?" Nangong Chen nodded, "Hmm." ”

To be honest, Yiyou is also for such a result. Actually, I didn't think it was that surprised. Ling Huhe's intentions had already been revealed at the beginning.

The only thing she didn't calculate was that Nan Xiang would respond to this family business, and she didn't guess that this family business would come so quickly.

"Yiyou?" Nangong Chen looked at Yiyou's reaction a little strangely, and asked cautiously, "You're not angry?" ”

Angry? Yiyou shook his head, but said to Nangong Chen with a smile: "Being with my parents is the responsibility of the princess of a country, I just did what I should do." Looking at Yiyou like this, how could Nangong Chen not feel distressed.
