"Why is it Nanxi again?" An Zhongning looked at the account book and sighed: "What is the excuse this time?"

"If you reply to your lordship," the subordinate replied tremblingly, "yes...... Because of the drought. ”

"Great drought, great drought, great drought!" An Zhongning slapped the account book on the table: "The emperor has reduced his taxes throughout the early cold and drought, why can't he supply Nanxi?"

"Alas...... The adults had only been in contact with the Xing Department and the Ministry of Rites before," the subordinate sighed: "I'm afraid I don't know, this Nanxi is like this." ”

"Why?"

"Do you know where Nanxi was before?"

An Zhongning frowned after hearing this, Nanxi ...... A special place indeed.

"Nanxi is my hometown," Jin Chen and Su Zili drank tea together, and the two chatted about Jin Chen's life experience, and Jin Chen did not shy away from it: "I am a member of the Wu clan, when the emperor destroyed our entire clan because of a trivial matter, I am one of the few clansmen who escaped." ”

"It's too sad to exterminate the clan," Su Zili felt a little sad for Jin Chen: "I was only three years old that year, and I heard the owner talk about it later, and it seems that ...... It was because the elders of the Wu clan had offended the emperor. ”

"It's just a pretense," Jin Chen sneered, "Actually, he just wants to get Nanxi." The Wu clan has always been alone, and because the clansmen have unique skills, they have always been feared by the court; And Nanxi is really a treasure land. The climate is suitable, even if there is a big drought, there will be no harvest; Rich in minerals, whether it is warm jade or purple gold ore are innumerable...... They were afraid of the Wu Clan but wanted to get Nanxi, so they ...... I chose to exterminate ......"

Sumire will never forget that day......

Blazing flames filled the old patriarch's body......

The Wicans are afraid of fire.

"Sumire Chen......" Su Zili didn't know how to comfort the injured teenager for a while.

"It's okay, Zili," Jin Chen smiled faintly, "It's been so many years, it's nothing." Later, Nanxi was taken over by the Wunan people next to it, and the Wunan people and the Wu people have always been friendly, and after a long time, Nanxi is still not under the full control of the imperial court. ”

"That'...... Why didn't it be directly handed over to the imperial court at the beginning, but handed it over to the Wunan people?"

"The extermination of the Wu clan has alarmed many aliens around," Jin Chen sighed: "This is also a compromise way, after all, the Wunan people advocate Taoism, and it can be regarded as easy to control." ”

"That'...... How did you escape?" Su Zili was a little puzzled: "You were still very young at that time, right?"

"Who knows?" Jin Chen smiled mysteriously, "I can't say for sure, I forgot." ”

It's not forgetting......

As Sumire Chen left the teahouse, she smiled self-deprecatingly......

I thought it would be too easy to escape, but I couldn't save him...... It's the pain of my life.

Since Zeng Motang slept again, Yunluo Palace was no longer the only place where the emperor went. Under the pretext that there were too few concubines in the harem, the emperor promoted Zeng Guiren to be a concubine, and named Meng Xiu's distant cousin Meng Yan, who had just entered the palace, as Meng Concubine.

As soon as he entered the palace, he was sealed as a concubine, which is a rare thing since ancient times, but because Meng Xiu was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, coupled with Meng Lang's tragic death, everyone dared not have any doubts.

"I didn't mean to let my cousin into the palace," Meng Xiu said to Lin Zaifeng bitterly: "Yan'er is only fifteen years old, and the emperor is ...... It is impossible to conceive a dragon seed, but it has been a lifetime in vain. ”

"The emperor seems to be paving the way for you," Lin Zaifeng paused: "Now your strength in the court is enough to get down anyone, and it only takes a moment." It's just that I don't understand...... Why don't you just marry the princess to you? The emperor is not a fool, how can he not see your heart for the princess?"

"What do you say?" Meng Xiu smiled: "Still pretending to be here, the emperor has no possibility of having a prince, so who will the princess marry...... Who is the future ruler. The person in power must be surnamed Lin. ”

"I have only brother and sister affection for the princess. ”

"I'm afraid you can't help it...... Or...... Lin Xiuhe was willing to marry. ”

"He willing!"

"I won't let this happen!" Meng Xiu suddenly got up: "I can accept that you marry Yun Xi, but I can't accept him!"

"Meng Xiu......" Lin Zaifeng looked at the angry Meng Xiu and slowly spoke: "You know, I only need one wife for my life, and her name is Su Zili." If you really love the princess, why don't you fight again?"

"In the wind," Meng Xiu smiled bitterly: "I have no choice, I can become the best man in the entire early cold, no matter how tired and difficult I am...... But I couldn't get her heart. Because I love her, I hope she can marry the person she loves, be happy, and be happy for the rest of her life. ”
