228 The King of the Dead 28
[I see.] ]
Yao Rong nodded and said with a smile: [Then the second question, guessed why you didn't tell me.] ]
Nan Liujing pursed his lips slightly.
Yao Rong waited for a moment and asked, [Does this question make you embarrassed.] ]
"Don't be embarrassed." Nan Liujing finally spoke, "It's just that I have some concerns in my heart. β
[What concerns.] ]
"I don't know why my mother didn't reincarnate, but stayed by my side, and became a Mingjun cultivation system."
ββ¦β¦ I'm afraid that revealing your identity rashly will be detrimental to you and will make me lose you again. β
In this matter, Nanliujing did not dare to take a little risk.
Anyway, as long as the concubine is by his side, it doesn't matter what his identity is.
Yao Rong suddenly said: [It turns out that you are worried about this.] ]
Nan Liujing cautiously asked, "Will this affect you, the concubine?" β
Yao Rong glanced at the system beside her, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, this is the truth. ]
"So I'm thinking too much?"
[Yes.] ]
Nan Liujing pursed her lips, but her expression did not become relaxed, but became a little more depressed: "Then why didn't the concubine recognize me earlier?" β
Yao Rong couldn't help laughing: [Although it has no effect on me, there will be some restrictions.] ]
[What's more, as you said, whether you recognize you or not, my attitude towards you is the attitude of a mother to her child.] ]
All right.
Nan Liujing accepted this explanation, but still felt a little depressed.
He struggled to divert his attention.
"Then I'll ask my mother two questions."
[You kid, you really don't lose at all.] ]
Nan Liujing said with a smile: "It was because of my performance in front of my little uncle that my mother guessed that I guessed your identity?" β
[yes, I almost got tricked by you.] ]
"Then I have a second questionβ"
Nan Liujing hesitated for a while before he spoke softly: "Why did the concubine become a system." Where are you now. How are you doing all these years? β
Yao Rong sat on the sofa, changed to a more comfortable sitting position, tilted his head slightly, and quipped: [This is more than one problem. ]
The next moment, she returned to earnest: [Let's answer the last two simple questions first.] I've been staying in a place similar to the Scripture Pavilion all these years, and I've been doing okay. ]
[As for why I became a system...... It's because I see that you are having a hard time, but no matter how hard I try, I can't change your life, and I can only watch you starve and suffer in the cold palace. ]
[This life went on for a long time, until when you were twelve years old, a voice asked me if I would like to save you as a Ming Jun cultivation system.] I didn't hesitate to say yes. ]
System: [......]
It was terrified that its host's words would be discovered by the Temporal Authority.
If this is discovered, it will be deducted from the completion of the task.
Nan Liujing listened quietly, his eyes fell on the sky that lit up a little bit, and his expression was peaceful.
The system pinched his sweat, and from Nan Liujing's expression, it couldn't tell whether he believed this statement or not.
[Host, can you fool him with your words? γ
Yao Rongdao: [Actually, I am not lying to him with this statement.] ]
After a long while, Nan Liujing retracted his gaze: "Mother, will you feel bored if you stay by my side all the time?" β
Yao Rong told him in a very positive tone: [No. ]
Nan Liujing's eyes were slightly moist: "I've always been worried that you will be bored." β
[Then I can tell you with certainty: the process of my companionship with you is like watching a persimmon tree slowly grow.] ]
[You are so strong that you don't need anyone to save you anymore, but I still want to stay and watch the persimmon tree blossom and bear fruit, growing into a towering tree, giving shade to the people of the world.] ]
Nan Liujing has not yet become a Ming Jun, and has not left a strong mark in the history of Qing, how can she be willing to leave at this time.
"Okay." Nan Liujing closed his eyes slightly, his eyebrows softened, "Mother, you wait and see." My uncle has already handed me the knife, so see how I hold it. β
"Hey, why did you get up so early?" Yao Sheng'an's voice came from not far away.
Nan Liujing opened his eyes, stretched out his hand to hold the railing, and smiled brightly: "Little uncle, let me tell you a secret." β
"What's the secret?"
Nan Liujing said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I dreamed of my mother last night. She asked me to tell you that she was proud of you from the bottom of her heart. β
Yao Rong smiled helplessly.
Yao Shengan was slightly surprised, and immediately his eyes turned slightly red.
He felt that Nan Liujing was probably just comforting him when he said this.
But I don't know why, he has a strange feeling in the dark, this is what Sister A thinks in her heart.
"What else did your mother say?"
Nan Liujing did not reply immediately.
Yao Rong understood the meaning of Nanliujing.
Yao Shengan's pain comes from his refusal to let go of himself.
The only person who could persuade him to let him go was her.
[Liujing, you help me tell him, just say-]
[He has always felt that I have sacrificed my marriage for the sake of the family, but he has also been sacrificing his life for the sake of the family for the past 18 years. Don't be bitter about what happened to me, I don't regret my choice, just like him. ]
[I am sure that my father, eldest brother and second brother will also be proud of him.] ]
Nanliujing has not changed a word, and all of it is retelled.
Yao Shengan tried to squeeze out a smile, but the smile was more ugly than crying.
He was sure that it must be Sister A's dream for her nephew.
Because only Sister Ah knows what he cares about the most and what is the most difficult hurdle.
Nan Liujing and Yao Shengan went to have breakfast together, and then Nan Liujing went back to the house to catch up on sleep.
He didn't sleep too long, he woke up just after noon, went to the study after a simple wash, studied ink and picked up a pen, and wrote a letter to Qi Si and Liang Guangyu.
Ten days later, a thin young man wearing a hat and several subordinates rode into Yongning City.
Half an hour later, the young man entered the county office and took off his hat in front of Nanliujing.
"Fourth Brother Qi, it's you." Nanliujing stepped forward in surprise and hugged Qi Si, who was in the dust.
Qi Si hugged Nan Liujing hard: "I haven't seen you for two years, you are already half a head taller than me." β
Gui Sheng served tea to the two of them and greeted Qi Si with a smile.
Qi Si and Gui Sheng have a very good relationship, and they also cared about Gui Sheng's body for a few words, and when he heard that Gui Sheng was fine, he was relieved.
After a few people talked about the old for a while, Qi Si cut to the chase: "As soon as I received your letter, I went to see Lord Liang, and after discussing with Lord Liang, I immediately left to see you." β
Nan Liujing said: "I didn't expect you to come over in person. β
Qi Si said: "The stakes are high, and I don't trust anyone but myself. β
Nan Liujing handed a box to Qi Si: "The thing is for you." β
"Okay." Qi Si took it solemnly, "Give me two months." β
After getting the things, Qi Si only had lunch in the county office and was about to get up and leave.
"Walking so fast?" Nanliujing stayed, "Let's rest here for one night." β
Qi Si declined his kindness: "Since I received your letter, I have been so excited that I can't sleep. If I don't do this soon, I won't be able to sleep well. β
"I want to catch up with you more."
"Don't worry, we'll be able to meet again in two months at most."
"Yes, be careful." Nan Liujing patted Qi Si on the shoulder.
Qi Si finally couldn't help but collapse his face.
When he and Little Brother Nan first met, Little Brother Nan was still a lot shorter than him, but he hadn't grown much in the past few years, but Little Brother Nan was already tall enough to pat him on the shoulder.
Nan Liujing laughed, no longer teasing Qi Si, just stood in place, watching Qi Si turn over and get on the horse and whip away.
The box he gave Qi Si contained the incriminating evidence of the person in charge of the Dark Pavilion Beidi back then.
Eighteen years have passed, and the person in charge of the Northland is now the second-in-command of the Dark Pavilion, responsible for the entire Second Department of the Dark Pavilion.
Nan Liujing didn't know what Qi Si and Liang Guangyu had done, he just got the result he wanted two months later.
There was a purge within the Dark Pavilion, and the second-in-command of the Dark Pavilion and the head of the Dark Pavilion in the North were all executed.
Now the second department of the dark pavilion is taken over by Liang Guangyu.
And the person in charge of the Dark Pavilion in the Northland is Qi Si.
Nan Liujing looked at Qi Si, who turned over and dismounted, and walked into the county government to report to him, and smiled slightly.
Since then, the eyes of the imperial court in the north have been used by him.
That night, Nan Liujing took Qi Si to meet Yao Sheng'an.
Yao Shengan is the only relative of Nan Liujing who is still alive in the world, so Nan Liujing takes good care of him.
Knowing that Yao Sheng'an didn't like the environment of the county government, Nan Liujing bought a courtyard for Yao Sheng'an on the street not far from the county government, arranged two servants for Yao Sheng'an, and asked the doctor to go to Yao Sheng'an every few days to diagnose and treat him.
When Nan Liujing and Qi Si arrived at the courtyard, Yao Shengan had just finished seeing the doctor.
When he heard about Yao Sheng'an's identity, Qi Si looked surprised. But soon, thinking of the box full of incriminating evidence, Qi Si understood.
"I'm going to give everything in that wooden box to Fourth Brother Qi." Nanliujing went straight to the point and said to Yao Sheng'an.
"Okay." Yao Shengan nodded, "The person you choose must be fine." β
Qi Si showed a sharpened expression: "There is actually other evidence of crime?" β
Nan Liujing said: "Yes." But the movement of our cleaning of the Dark Pavilion is a bit loud, and we can't make any more moves against the other two people for the time being, otherwise it will cause Ji Yushan to be jealous. β
After Qi Si learned about the other things in the wooden box, he pondered for a moment and asked Nan Liujing, "Little Brother Nan, how far do you want me to go?" β
Nanliujing said: "I hope that the hearts of the people of the Northland can be used. β
Qi Si pondered: "That might take a little more time." β
"Is one year enough?"
"That's enough."
Yao Shengan sat next to the two of them, quietly listening to their words, and was full of emotion in his heart.
He is obviously not old, but in front of such two young people, he can't help but have a feeling that "the times already belong to them".
No wonder his nephew can do so well.
In addition to his own ability, he is also surrounded by talents.
After reading the incriminating evidence, Qi Si took a moment to make a detailed plan, and then showed it to Nanliujing.
Nan Liujing thought about it for a long time and gave Qi Si some advice.
After hearing this, Qi Si nodded again and again: "This is a good idea, I will do it." β
The plan that the two of them came up with was actually quite simple.
That is to compile the story of the Yao family into a script, opera and other ways that ordinary people like to see, and then add a little private goods to it, such as setting up a big corrupt official surnamed Ji, and then putting all the things that Ji Yushan does on this big corrupt official.
This plan is feasible because the Yao family's prestige in the Northland is very high.
Although the Yao family no longer exists, just like Yao Shengan said, the Yao family has been stationed in the north for more than 130 years, and for generations, they have shed blood and tears for the north.
Ordinary people are not so forgetful.
What's more, when the Yao family was in the Northland, what was the situation in the Northland.
The Yao family is no longer in the Northland, what is the situation in the Northland.
The eyes of the common people are not blind, they can see clearly.
In order to make the script and opera more catchy, Qi Si spent a lot of money to hire someone to write it.
Yao Rong has nothing to do when he is idle, and he also helps create a lot of scripts and operas.
Nan Liujing sent what Yao Rong had written to Qi Si.
After reading it, Qi Si slapped his thigh fiercely: "Absolutely." It's really amazing. Even I, a person who knows the truth, couldn't wait to rush in and kill that corrupt official when I saw this, and then follow the general to make a contribution. β
Nan Liujing smiled, and agreed with Qi Si's evaluation in his heart.
He was his mother's first reader.
"Then I'll leave the rest to Fourth Brother Qi."
There is no doubt about Qisi's ability to do things.
A month later, Nan Liujing went out to run errands, passing by three taverns along the way, and there were storytellers in all three taverns.
They say different things, but the protagonists are all members of the Yao family.
There is a tavern among them, which happens to be the one written by Yao Rong.
Nan Liujing looked at the sky, and it was almost time for lunch, so he decisively dismounted and went into the tavern to eat.
Yao Rong commented: [This storyteller is really good. ]
Nan Liujing said: "I heard that Fourth Brother Qi spent a lot of money and invited a lot of storytellers from other places. β
[The money is well spent.] ]
Some money can be saved.
Some money is spent, and the effect can really be seen.
When Yao Rong and Nan Liujing were chatting, several people at the next table were also chatting while eating peanuts.
"The general in this book is really miserable, his parents, brother, sister and uncle were all killed by corrupt officials, and he was also imprisoned by corrupt officials, and he almost lost his life."
"It's miserable, but it's true." The man gave a thumbs up, "There was a big mess in the north, and the corrupt officials couldn't solve it, so they took the general out of prison and let the general go to the north to fight with an injury." The general went, and he won! β
"There are generals in the north of the people in the script, what do we have!?"
"Why don't we have it, have you forgotten General Yao and General Yao?"
"Yes, yes, I'm confused. But...... I always feel that what happened to the general in this book is a bit similar to that of General Yao......"
"Well, I think so too. You say, is it possible that what is said in this book is true? Could General Yao have been killed by corrupt officials back then? β
When one person connects the script with reality, more and more people will start doing the same thing.
The release of all kinds of true and false news has greatly enriched the lives of the people in the north, and also increased the hatred of the people in the north for the imperial court.
Because the corrupt officials in the script not only framed the general for his loyalty, but also increased taxes and levies for the people of the Northland, ignoring the fact that the people of the Northland died of natural disasters and military disasters
For things such as tax increases, conscription, natural disasters, and military disasters, the people of the Northland have personal pain, and they easily substitute for themselves, thus completing the empathy with the characters in the script.
When it was said that the general led the people of the north to kill corrupt officials, quell military disasters, and suppress natural disasters, the anger in the hearts of the people turned into happiness.
They may not understand what this emotional change means now, but the seeds of rebellion have been planted in their hearts.
In a blink of an eye, it's the end of the year again.
After surviving the initial stage, Nanliujing's army had increased to 30,000 people, and Qi Mingxu also had 20,000 soldiers and horses.
Of the sixteen cities on the border, six have already been surrendered.
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Nan Liujing and Qi Si rushed to Chang'an County to celebrate the New Year with Qi Mingxu and Jiang Ding.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Ding took a few people to the arsenal and went all the way to the deepest part of the arsenal: "I have developed siege equipment and trained a group of craftsmen. With enough materials, they were able to build several siege machines overnight. β
Nan Liujing asked: "How is the effect?" β
Jiang Ding said: "Little Brother Nan, don't worry, ordinary cities will definitely not be able to stop these siege equipment. Of course, a giant city like Kyoto is not something that can be taken casually by siege engines. β
"That's enough." Nanliu Jingdao.
After the Lantern Festival, the imperial court finally sensed that something was wrong with the situation in the north.
After all, the population of the Northland is still on the move, and many merchants will go back and forth between the capital and the Northland, even if the Southflow has always been intentionally controlled, the anomaly of the Northland is still known by the imperial court.
Among them, Yongning City has changed the most.
So soon, Yongning City ushered in the first batch of Qincha.
Zhou County Ling and Master were responsible for entertaining this group of Qin missions.
Under their frenzied operation of stuffing silver tickets, these Qin cha came to the conclusion: "Everything is normal in Yongning City, and the development of Yongning City is because of the hard work of Zhou County." β
Without waiting for Zhou County Ling and Master to breathe a sigh of relief, within two months, the second batch of Qincha arrived.
This batch of Qincha is not as easy to fool as the previous batch, the silver tickets are not less, and the things that should not be inquired about have also been inquired, and I also like to play micro-service private interviews.
Zhou Xianling broke out in a cold sweat and quietly went to find Nanliujing: "Little Master Yaonan, the abnormality of our Yongning City may not be able to hide it." β
Nan Liujing was reading the letter, and when he heard the words of Zhou County's order, he handed over the letter in his hand: "If you can't hide it, you won't hide it, the imperial court won't be able to take care of us in a short time." β
Zhou Xianling took the letter and looked at it, and immediately understood.
Half a month ago, the Yellow River burst its banks, affecting hundreds of thousands of people.
Instead of providing disaster relief, the imperial court is still desperately oppressing the people.
The desperate people stormed the granary, snatched the grain, and finally raised the flag and directly revolted!
The imperial court is now busy sending troops to the south to quell the civil strife, and there is no time to take care of them for the time being.
"This world is going to be chaotic. Little boy Yao Nan, what are we going to do. β
"Wait."
"What are you waiting for?"
"I'm waiting for a reply from one person."
Outside the study, there was a sudden sound of cramped footsteps.
Qi Si rushed to Nanliujing with a food box.
Nan Liujing's gaze fell on the food box: "What's inside?" β
"It's the Golden Cake." Qi Si opened the lid of the food box, "You said, you wrote a letter to Lord Liang, and Lord Liang gave you a box of golden cakes in return, what do you mean?" β
Nan Liujing reached out and picked up a golden cake, took a bite, and said with a smile: "I like to invite everyone to eat persimmons and golden cakes." Master Liang was telling me that he had agreed to my request. β
Solving the golden cake in his hand, Nan Liujing raised his eyes to look in the direction of Kyoto, and his tone was understated, as if to say that the weather was really good today.
"If the south is reversed, then we will also reverse the north." οΌοΌοΌ
