Chapter 135 [Partners]
Three days later, the kingdom of Lu, the palace ......
The crown prince Nangong Xiao received a report from his subordinates, and the ninth princess came back, and immediately walked out of the practice secret room and began to write a secret letter.
After writing, he pinched it in his hand and sealed it with wax to form a wax pill the size of a tooth, and then handed it to an attendant who commanded, "And be careful." ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince." The chamberlain is not quite like an ordinary chamberlain, but a man wearing a wig, and his face is very plain, and he can't remember this person at first sight.
After the chamberlain left, someone said that it was the Third Highness, the Seventh Highness and the Second Princess who visited.
"Xuan!" Nangong Xiao tidied up his robe, then sat up straight, with a habitual smile on his face, giving people a warm and warm feeling.
Soon, three men and women arrived, two men were slender, one was slightly taller, but with a dense beard on his chin, which looked more masculine.
The other person is a typical jade-faced Langjun, with a pair of slightly bewitching peach blossom eyes, which is quite attractive.
The rest of the woman looked graceful and luxurious, with a good temperament, three-dimensional facial features, sharp eyes, slightly plump lips, and a sense of condescension in the eyes of people.
"I've seen the prince's brother." The three of them saluted him together, Nangong Xiao's eyes quickly swept over the three of them, and immediately stretched out his hand to help the three of them.
"It's all a family, and it's not in the court, why bother to stick to this, sit down for tea!" Nangong Xiao's actions always make people feel comfortable, and the three of them think that they are inferior, and they can't help but sigh, they are worthy of being the prince.
After drinking tea for a while, the second princess Nangong Ling took the lead and said, "Big brother, I heard that something big happened in Dongyang. ”
"Well, there is something wrong, the underground ranch of the Paradise Sect has been exposed, and it has a great repercussion among the people, and it has also received serious concern from many ministers in the court, and my father is also very troubled." Nangong Xiao said with a frown.
After the Dongyang incident was exposed, it attracted a lot of attention, and many people knew openly and secretly that the underground pasture was a major stain on the Bliss Sect, but it was not revealed because the royal family covered it up for them in the past, and the Bliss Sect was powerful, but now that the Bliss Sect has declined, the royal family has also become stormy, and if you want to cover it up again, you are a little powerless.
"Big brother, the lid of the underground ranch of the Bliss Sect can't be lifted, otherwise there will be endless troubles, and the blow to our royal family will be even more devastating." His Royal Highness Nangong Quan reminded nervously.
Nangong Xiao nodded, looked at the third Nangong Feng again, and asked, "Third brother, don't you say a few words?" ”
Nangong Feng looked at the few people around him, and said with a rare smile: "Actually, the key to this matter depends on whether the Extreme Happiness Sect can reach an agreement with several other major forces, and if it can be reached, then this matter will naturally be resolved." If it can't be achieved, then our royal family will face a drastic change, so my idea is that it is better to be still, wait and see what happens, and maintain the situation. ”
"Let's take a look at how to maintain the law." Nangong Xiao didn't expect that the seemingly rough temperament of the third child could be so calm, and what he said seemed to be to the point.
Nangong Quan and Nangong Ling next to him were a little jealous of him, but they also decided to listen to how he planned first.
Seeing this, Nangong Feng said his plan, which was roughly divided into two aspects: first, fighting fires. Fire refers to the anger of the people, so it is necessary to provide disaster relief, subsidize the people of Dongyang, control the anger and resentment of the people, and kill a group of officials in Dongyang at the same time to show the determination of the imperial court.
Second, to show goodwill to several other major forces, you can no longer follow the Bliss Sect with one heart, it is a ship that is about to sink, and if you continue to stand on it, you will inevitably be doomed, and you must plan early.
The plan was put out, which shocked the three of Nangong Xiao, and at the same time they were impressed by Nangong Feng.
"Very good, third brother, since you can come up with this plan, you must have considered it or a doorway, this first plan is not easy, so I and the third brother, the second sister and others will complete it with the help of others, so that we can bear the anger of the people, and at the same time share the sorrow of my father; This second plan is relatively easy, only need to make initial contact, and at the same time give some benefits to the major forces, you are in charge, big brother believes that you can do it, how? Nangong Xiao even cut the belt and beat Nangong Feng to have mixed feelings in his heart, but he couldn't refuse, after all, he proposed it himself.
"Since the eldest brother said so, I naturally won't refuse, by the way, the ninth sister came back last night, she is a member of the sect, why don't you just follow me and assist me, how about it?" Nangong Feng remembered the detailed conversation last night, which made him more clear about his future.
Nangong Xiao agreed after a slight hesitation, and the other two became excited, and began to talk about various disaster relief plans around him.
Seeing this, Nangong Feng retreated with interest, and his original indignant expression disappeared at this moment, replaced by a state of ancient wells without waves.
"Prince...... As long as you don't ascend the throne for a day, you will always be a prince, not a king! At this moment, Nangong Feng's eyes shot a stunning light.
After leaving the palace, he returned to his residence, retreated left and right, came to his back garden and sat down, took out a purple rune paper, and then lit it, and suddenly turned into a spiritual light and disappeared into the sky, and then quietly waited for the person to arrive.
He did not allow anyone to disturb him, and continued to wait even if he did not have dinner, so that everyone in the palace was careful not to make too much noise.
Finally, when the sky was dark, at some point, there was an extra man in front of him, this man was long, his face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were smart, and he shone with wisdom.
It's just that this person gives people a very low sense of existence, if it weren't for Nangong Feng staring at him carefully, he would definitely think that there was no one there, it was really amazing, these cultivators really couldn't be underestimated.
"How did you and the Ninth Princess meet, are you in the same door?" As if playing a trick, Nangong Feng took out a pot of wine and two cups from his sleeve.
"No, I just agree with the Ninth Princess's attitude towards the Bliss Sect, so I decided to help, that's all." Seeing this, Ge Xian took out some boxes of cooked food from his package, which were the delicacies collected in Lucheng in the past two days.
Nangong Feng looked at it and immediately smiled: "Grandma Lu's braised duck neck, braised lotus root slices in Rice Wine Lane, and iced spicy soy milk from Tofu Shih Tzu?" Yes, yes, you're kind of a good eater, so you're welcome. ”
Ge Xian saw that this prince did not show discomfort because of these folk food, on the contrary, he seemed to like it quite a lot, but he looked at him a few times.
The two stopped talking at this time, and they ate and drank separately, which was very enjoyable, during which the two abandoned their respective identities and drank happily, like a pair of confidants.
An hour later, both of them got up and left the stone table and walked to the side pavilion, where the Third Highness began to cook tea again, showing great skill.
When the tea was brought to Ge Xian, he found that the tea had a trace of aura, and it turned out to be spiritual tea.
"The words you and the Ninth Sister made me hesitate a little last night, but after today's temptation, I finally understand that the prince is already a member of the Bliss Sect." Nangong Feng said after having a drink with Ge Xian.
"More than that, several highnesses and princesses, I'm afraid even your father and king." Ge Xian reminded.
Nangong Feng was stunned for a moment, then nodded bitterly, and said: "If you have to say that there are still people who are exceptions, then me and Ninth Sister are two special cases, after the underground ranch incident is exposed, the Extreme Happiness Sect will use all its strength to calm down, even at the expense of setting off a bloody storm." ”
"Has Your Highness thought about why I and the Ninth Princess are looking for you?" Since Ge Xian came here, he had trusted him, and he didn't hesitate to take out the wine and tea, which made Nangong Feng's heart quite moved, he hadn't experienced this feeling of being believed in for a long time.
Nangong Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know, it won't be because I'm just not a member of the Extreme Bliss Sect, just like the Ninth Sister, that I was taken by you, right?" ”
"No, we value your qualifications and personality, and compared to your eldest brother and others, we think you are the most suitable king for the future." Ge Xian's words shocked Nangong Feng, he never thought that he would be so appreciated, and even felt a little ashamed, all these years, he has been living in the shadow of the prince, it is difficult to make a difference, in fact, most people are the same, except for him and Nangong Wanhua, who has been back for two years, no one dares to resist the prince's family.
Ge Xian didn't ask him to understand thoroughly, he and Nangong Wanhua carefully discussed, the most suitable person for the upper position of the Nangong royal family was this Third Highness. On the one hand, his identity does not belong to any sect power, and he is relatively clean. On the other hand, it was Nangong Wanhua who proposed that this Third Highness was the only one who was talented in civil affairs and had implemented a policy of light punishment in his fief.
After Ge Xian left, Nangong Feng still didn't come back to his senses, but he was very sure of one thing, that is, there was a force that was pushing him to the top, which had never been done before.
He remembered that his biological mother was from a humble background, just a lady in charge of the lamp, and he was only because of his father's drunken and disorderly sex.
But after her mother obtained the grade, she didn't live a good life for a few years, and finally died in the cruel palace fight, and she just survived to adulthood by luck.
He has no power and no character, and he has never been concerned by his father and other forces, and his image is not outstanding under the backdrop of other princes, so he can only choose to take refuge in the prince's family, but unfortunately he has always been on the edge of the circle, and once it comes to the critical moment, he will be sent out to top the bag or carry the blame, and it will not be a good thing, such as this time.
"Does this king really have a day when Ji Tai comes?" Nangong Feng found that the moonlight fell on his body at some point, sprinkling a layer of silver brilliance, he felt that today's moonlight was particularly bright, and it seemed to have a deep meaning, indicating that he was about to rise.
The sensation excites him, clenching his fists, unable to contain himself in the night wind.
