Chapter 209: The capital moves
Chapter 209: The capital moves
Go to Liaodong and build the fertile and desolate place in the mouth of the east fence into a paradise that belongs to them, and no matter how the situation changes in the future, they have a place to live and work, so they don't have to worry about anything.
Mo Youran was excited, I just went to see the corn today, the growth is excellent, if it is really like what Dongli said, it is an extremely fertile place, then he can show his strengths even more, and be more committed to the study of agriculture, at the beginning there was still some utilitarianism, I want to get the attention of the saint through the study of agriculture, and also ensure that my family can be invincible, I don't want to be the same as last time, because the entire family affected by the deposed six princes was abandoned by the scholars, and the six princes were innocent, just because Emperor Jinxuan was worried that this son was too good, Under suspicion, the princelings and the people of the Great Prince's Party used those fabricated evidence to push this son out and demote him to a concubine, and even the teacher of the six princes, Master Mo, was also crowned with the crime of teaching unfavorably, if it wasn't for the Zhenbei Hou Mansion's troubles, how could their family be safe and just lose their official position?
It's ridiculous that they thought that Nangong Xiao had fallen into the well regardless of his feelings, and they hated him for a while, and they almost ruined the match between him and his sister.
The royal affairs are too complicated, his personality, pure bookish temperament, is not suitable for those sneaky tricks at all, even if he gets the weight, can he really avoid those who are cunning? There is a way that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, and if they really get to that point, they want to dodge, that's really a joke.
In fact, there was a side of the matter of the six princes that they didn't know, and the matter was also related to his dear sister, at that time, Chu Liangchen had already understood that the soul of another world would come soon, not only he knew, but those who had ulterior motives and a little ability could also be roughly calculated, but they didn't know who this soul of another world would fall on, there were thousands of babies born at the same time as Mo Dongli more than ten years ago, they only knew that the soul of another world would choose a person with such a birthday, and the others were vague, I don't know.
Chu Liangchen struck first, and preemptively removed Master Mo's family from the court, just at this time, the crown prince and the eldest prince, who felt threatened by his younger brother, began to act against the six princes, Chu Liangchen pushed the boat down the river, and hit it off with Emperor Jinxuan, who had a tacit attitude, so there was that case.
The Mo family didn't know about this at all, Nangong Xiao only knew a little, and the person concerned, Mo Dongli, didn't know at all.
"Since this is the case, we must hurry up and find out Liaodong clearly." Master Mo suppressed the excitement in his heart: "Liaodong, that place is poor and bad, the climate is cold, there are many individual criminals who are exiled there, you still need to be cautious, beware of any extremely vicious people in it, in my opinion, this matter is more appropriate to be handed over to the Hou of Zhenbei to deal with, the Zhenbei army is out, and those prisoners dare not do anything." ”
But the question is, when will Zhenbeihou return to Northern Xinjiang? Emperor Xuan has been wary of this courtier for a long time, will he agree to let him go to northern Xinjiang?
Nangong Xiao is not worried at all, no one knows better than him what kind of person his father is, although he is biased in the treatment of the inner house, spoiling concubines and killing his wife, but when it comes to business, the absolute old fox, he wants to return to the Northern Frontier Army, and the generals who Emperor Xuan currently has no use to contain him will not pose any real threat to him at all.
Dong Liang pursed her lips, Nangong Xiao's confident appearance undoubtedly gave her a reassuring pill, and a big stone in her heart suddenly fell to the ground: "Since everyone has a plan, then I don't have to be nervous, by the way, everyone can taste the corn I brought back, this thing is very delicious, and the yield is high, yes, Xianggong." Speaking of this, she remembered one more thing: "Now that we know that there will be a disaster soon, and we have corn seeds in our hands with high yields, can we think of ways to promote these things, those ordinary people, we can help a little bit." ”
Master Mo stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction, it is a good thing that his daughter can care about the people.
Nangong Xiao patted her on the shoulder: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me, this is a good thing, but I thought, isn't the emperor holding a grudge against us?" Maybe this matter is just a buffer, I thought, I can't conflict with the saint for the time being, can we use an open and honest way, let the saint personally ask us to go to Liaodong? ”
A few people in the Mo family looked at each other, and let Emperor Jin Xuan speak in person? Is this possible? Just that cautious eye, like a needle nose, it's good not to pick the time to find trouble for you, and expect him to be merciful?
Nangong Xiao could also see that none of these people believed in him, but in this matter, he had other plans, and smiled mysteriously: "Don't talk about this, you are waiting for my good news, by the way, my mother-in-law started treatment today, is it going well?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.
Master Mo was very happy about his son-in-law's concern for his old couple's behavior: "It's good, it's all good, after soaking in the medicinal bath, I said that my body was a lot more comfortable, and my head was as heavy as a stone, and when I was walking in the sun outside, I said that I felt light, as if I was going to float." ”
Of course, it works very well, everyone is very happy, and the big incident has been resolved, Nangong Xiao shouldered a heavy responsibility, and was immediately driven back to the room to work on Liaodong and currying favor with Emperor Jinxuan. In this regard, Nangong Xiao was particularly happy that he had the foresight to ask for a few eagles that Chu Liangchen had raised to deliver letters, which were much easier to use than carrier pigeons.
A moment later, two sturdy black eagles flew out of Qinghe Town, quickly rushed into the sky and disappeared.
The turbulent capital, these days because of the emperor's abnormality, snubbed the concubines who have children in the palace, recently frequently recruited some new low-grade concubines who entered the palace, at first no one took it to heart, but I felt that Emperor Jin Xuan felt fresh, after this freshness is, men, in the face of young beauties who are as beautiful as flowers, they are always impulsive, but as Emperor Jin Xuan has maintained this situation for many days in a row, and he has begun to do not mince words about the prince and the eldest prince who he originally valued and loved. Even after the meeting, they behaved extremely coldly, and the ministers and the harem women panicked, feeling as if something had happened to them unconsciously, and it was developing in a very bad direction when they didn't know why.
Is the Holy One merciless? On the surface, they all sang the praises of the Holy Father's kindness and filial piety, but in fact, there is no family affection in the heavenly family, everyone still remembers the six princes who were suddenly demoted from the pride of the sky to the common people a few years ago.
As a result, under the calm surface, an undercurrent began to surge, and in the court and harem, the princelings and the princes' party began to secretly move one after another when the emperor's intentions were not clear.
Zhenbei Hou stood in front of the window in a purple brocade robe with his hands behind his back, his eyes calmly staring at the birds jumping around the trees outside, and he only spoke up; "Have you all read the letter from the Prince?"
There were also a few men in the room who were also dressed only in civilian clothes, although they were not strangely dressed, but all of them had an aura that seemed to be difficult to hide, definitely not ordinary people, one of them patted his chest with a beard; "I didn't say it, Hou Ye and Shizi are both long-term people, I'm a rough person, so I'll follow you two, I'll do whatever you say."
As if he had long been accustomed to the swaggering personality of his companion, a middle-aged scribe in a cyan robe and a turban next to him shook his fan; "Hou Ye, what the prince said is not bad, today's saints have always had a lot of scruples about our Zhenbei Army, and have always tried their best to suppress Hou Ye, if you are really taken away one day, I am afraid that the brothers of our Zhenbei Army will be disrupted and reorganized one by one, if you meet a general who has no ability, won't it send the brothers to death?" No mistakes, no word skipping.
"Master Hou, what Lao Jiang said is right!" The black-faced man doesn't look like a man of power, but more like an old peasant at the bottom, with a swarthy face and a weathered and sad face; "If there is really going to be a big mess, food must be the first factor. Even if it weren't for disaster relief, those rabbit cubs in Warat would have been affected by the disaster, and they would definitely come to us to fight the grass valley, and if we want to fight, we can't lack food. ”
Several people nodded, and Zhenbei Hou turned his head with blazing eyes; "Since everyone has no objections, then let's take action, the prince has already sent an eagle to Lao Tan, and asked him to send a few people to Liaodong to see if it is really as the prince said, the land is fertile and suitable for development, let's also get ready, I think, it won't be long before the emperor will send Benhou to go on the expedition."
Several henchmen and generals all nodded, and were about to continue to say something, but there was a bold cat outside that meowed twice, Zhenbei Hou's face changed, and he reached out to twist the armrest of the chair behind the bookcase, and the huge bookshelf moved to the side silently, revealing the hidden dark room inside, and several people hurriedly entered, Zhenbei Hou moved the bookshelf back to its original position, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, got up and pushed the door open and walked out; "Someone, prepare the horses! Ben Hou wants to enter the palace! ”
After he left for a while, a gray-clothed man drilled into the study like a silent shadow, first carefully observed the surrounding situation, and after making sure that there was no one around, he cautiously ran to the bookcase, first looked at the position of the things on the Zhenbei Hou case, and then carefully rummaged through.
Zhenbei Hou held his son's secret letter in his arms, and secretly sneered, Emperor Xuan also looked down on him too much, did he think that a few secret guards would be able to discover his secret? If you want to grasp your own handle, I'm afraid he still needs to have a good experience.
Thinking of what his son mentioned in his letter, about the establishment of a territory in the Liaodong area that only belonged to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, the Zhenbei Hou was also moved, although he didn't want to rebel, but he didn't want the lives of the family to be pinched in the palm of others' hands and threatened all the time, if there was a way to protect the family, he was naturally willing.
However, this matter is very important, and the son also mentioned in the letter that now the people in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion are not aligned, whether it is the Cui family, the Huang family, or even Nangong Fan, who is becoming more and more strange now, all of them have their own little calculations, this matter is related to a full family, and it is absolutely not allowed to be leaked before the matter is completed. Even if they have a tight mouth, but the pervasive spies around Emperor Jin Xuan are not vegetarians, and they can't get benefits from themselves, and it's not easy to deal with a few women?
Besides, he also understands that there are definitely spies sent by various forces in his house, and he has been turning a blind eye to this, no way, the military power of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion is too eye-catching, and no one is at ease, if he does not allow these individuals to stay in the mansion, those people don't know what they will think about in their hearts, anyway, they can't get any valuable information, and they stay to settle other people's hearts, the best of both worlds.
