Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

State-owned Emperor Ji grows up at the beginning

Nangongda finally showed a smile: "Little sister Gao Yi, what do you guys think?"

The three princes Qiqi, who was older than Nangongda, chose to remain silent. The sixth prince, Nangong Lie, looked like he had nothing to do with him. The seventh prince, Nangongli, said in a very soft voice, "Fifth brother, you know... I never had any savings.”

Qi Yan looked at Nangongli, the other party's slightly terrified and innocent expression was just right.

She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and Nangong Li's face turned red when he saw this scene.

Nangongda never expected that the good start would be broken by a taciturn younger brother. With Nangongli's words, the other older princes seemed to have found a way to prevaricate. .

Nangong Jingnv was about to say something, but Qi Yan pressed the back of her hand.

She turned her head in surprise, and saw Qi Yan staring at her calmly, forgetting to speak for a moment.

Nangongda put his hand on the crutch again, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Qi Yan originally thought that Nangong Jingnv would listen to her this time, but she felt that the other party pulled her hand out and sat up straight.

Qi Yan let out a powerless sigh in his heart, before Nangong Jingnv could speak, he said: "Since Your Majesty ordered His Highness the Fifth Highness to take on the important task of supervising the country, these memorials... Let His Highness alone decide."

Nangong Wang nodded: "That's right, although this world belongs to our Nangong family, it has always been a taboo for princes to interfere in politics. In the future, my father, Emperor Longti Kangtai, will probably be blamed."

Nangong Jingnv couldn't help frowning, she could feel that Qi Yan was preventing her from helping Fifth Brother, but she couldn't figure out why he did that!

Seeing Nangongda clenched his fist to his lips and holding the cane with the other, he felt more and more pity: Fifth brother is not in good health, and has the gentlest temperament among all the princes, she should help him no matter what the reason is!

Nangong Jingnu: "Third brother's words are wrong."

Qi Yan raised her eyebrows and pursed her lips.

Hearing the words, the second prince and the third prince asked back, "What do you mean, little sister?"

Nangong Jingnv straightened her waist, glanced at her beautiful eyes, and her daughter-in-law's aura was fully opened: "Since the father ordered the fifth elder brother to supervise the country, his words are equal to the words of the father. If the father called you to discuss today, how many of you? Do you dare to show the attitude that it has nothing to do with you?"

One sentence made everyone present speechless, Nangong Jingnu smiled and said to Nangongda: "What do you want to say, Fifth Brother?"

Nangongda showed a smile on his pale face, cleared his throat and said solemnly: "The treasury of the imperial court is empty, and the top priority is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. These four words... It sounds simple but it is a long-term plan. After thinking for three days, I roughly sorted out the priorities. Farmers' spring plowing is the top priority, and the money for grain cultivation must be paid out of the treasury. If the household department has no money to dig the ground three feet, it will also have to take out the money! Then there is the father. The Mausoleum of the Emperor... His father has been on the throne for more than ten years and has worked hard for the country and the people. This matter cannot be stopped, let alone wait... for the other side, you can temporarily delay it. Just like the little sister said, the Weiming Palace can start Let it go, and then it will be the chief examiner of the scientific examination, and the repair of the examination institute. Cao Gong, the renewal of the official road and the weapons of the local troops are not at this moment, what do you think?"

Qi Yan quietly listened to Nangongda's words, what the other party said was justified...

Nangong Jingnu: "Fifth Brother is right, so just tell us what to do."

Nangongda: "It's the increase of income and reduction of expenditure just now... I would like to ask you to donate some money generously to help farmers tide over the difficulties. Of course, this money can be recorded in the national treasury... I will return it to you when the tax revenue is considerable in the coming year. Also One is that the father is ill, and he told him not to disturb his recuperation if there is no important matter. I looked at the expenditure of the harem yesterday, and it costs thousands of taels of silver every day. It's over. Second brother, Concubine Hui has a noble background, if she can take the lead..."

Nangong Wei snorted coldly: "It's okay for the fifth brother to squeeze out our peers, but you are going to stretch your hands into the harem?"

The fourth prince, Nangong Zhen, expressed his reconsideration, and the third prince, Nangong Wang, snorted coldly: "It's really hard for us to come forward about the elders' affairs, so the fifth brother should go to the emperor's place to ask for a letter of decree."

Nangong Shunv, who had been silent all this time, said, "How much does Fifth Brother need us to pledge? You tell me the number, so we can know."

Seeing that the matter of reducing the expenses of the harem might not be able to be negotiated today, Nangongda took advantage of this slope to go down.

"The Ministry of Household Statistics estimates that at least 50 taels of silver will be needed for this planting, half of which can be squeezed out from the treasury, and the remaining 25 taels will be claimed by our brothers and sisters..."

Qi Yan remained calm, she was still clear about the situation of the court of the Wei Kingdom: Let alone 50 taels, even millions of taels of silver... So, what does he mean by mobilizing the crowd to sing?

Nangong Jingnu also had the same confusion, but before she could speak again, Qi Yan had already made a decision for her: "In this case, our Princess Zhenzhen Mansion has pledged 5 taels, and there is no cash...you can get it from the treasury. Pick something and sell it and hand it over."

There was a gap between the number Qi Yan said and Nangong Jingnv's estimate, but she did not object to Qi Yan's serious expression and serious gaze.

The next thing was much easier, 25 taels of silver was just a drop in the bucket for the few people sitting here, they easily claimed the share and wentssip a few words before going their separate ways.

Sitting on the carriage back home, Qi Yan's brain was running fast...

Why did Nangong Da do this?Does he want to use the remaining silver for other purposes, or...

Suddenly, Qi Yan thought of a possibility!

Nangong Da wanted this kind of pledge to become a normal situation, or he was just passing on the contradiction!

In the future, there may be more and more pledges, and the amount will increase... Then another leader who actively advocated today will gradually become the target of public criticism!

Fortunately, fortunately, I stopped Nangong Jingnv, and fortunately Nangong Shunv also showed up at the critical moment, otherwise...

When everyone's attention or anger is focused on the Princess Mansion, is Nan Gongda planning to secretly do something else with Chen Cang?

"Qi Yan!"

Nangong Jingnv's call pulled Qi Yan back from her thoughts, she turned her head and saw a trace of sullenness hiding in the other's pretty eyebrows.

"Your Highness?"

Nangong Jingnv frowned, and asked carefully, "Why did you stop me just now?"

Qi Yan blurted out without hesitation: "Your Highness, why did you say that?" In the past two years, she has become accustomed to dealing with Nangong Jingnv by practicing Tai Chi.

Nangong Jingnv was a little disappointed, she sighed and cast her eyes out of the car window, and said leisurely after a long time: "Fifth Brother can completely stay out of it..." If it wasn't for herself, Fifth Brother would not have faced so much pressure.

Nangong Jingnv thinks: She pushed Nangongda to the cusp of this storm, so before the situation stabilizes, she has the obligation and responsibility to help Nangongda share the pressure, and she has the money to contribute money and has the strength to contribute.

Qi Yan looked at Nangong Jingnv's profile, and for the first time felt that she couldn't argue.

There was silence in the carriage, Nangong Jingnv seemed to have been waiting for Qi Yan to say something, but it was the coachman who waited and told them: The son-in-law's mansion has arrived.

Nangong Jingnv glanced at Qi Yan indifferently: "Go back."

"Yes."

Qi Yan stood in front of the mansion gate and watched the carriage go away, went back and changed into a set of common clothes, and went straight to Xie An's mansion.

Originally, Nangongda was not in Qi Yan's short-term plan, so he can only be blamed for stretching his hand too far...

Didn't he want to use Nangong Jingnv to divert attention?

Didn't he want to use Nangong Jingnv as his shield?

She just didn't let him do what he wanted!The only person in this world who can take advantage of Nangong Jingnv is herself.

Qi Yanmi met with Nangongwang, told him that Nangongda might have been keeping a low profile, and explained that the other party should "communicate" with the second prince so that the forces in their hands would be passive and sabotage.

On the other side, before the carriage reached the gate of the Princess Mansion, Nangong Jingnv turned around...

She felt that Nangongda's idea of ​​reducing the expenses of the harem was very meaningful, but it was really inconvenient for the prince to come forward...

Although Concubine Liang's status is not as high as Concubine Hui's, she still has a decisive say in the harem.As long as she is persuaded, the possibility of success in asking the second sister to lobby Ya Fei is very high.

This was the first time that Nangong Jingnv made a major decision over Qi Yan, and it also made Qi Yan's subsequent efforts come to naught.

Jingjia ten years, April.

The entire territory of the Wei State returned to spring, and the upper reaches of the Luoshui River opened up. In addition to the continuous rainstorm, an urgent report was sent to the capital - many embankments along the Luoshui River burst, affecting more than [-] counties in six prefectures. ...

Nangongda begged to see Nangongrang, who had been lying in bed all night, and issued an imperial decree: order Nangongwang, the third son of the emperor, to be the imperial envoy, go to the disaster-stricken counties and counties to deal with floods, supervise the relief and pensions of the people, and give imperial swords; officials below the third rank can be beheaded first and then played.

Many courtiers saw the signs: the second prince was sent to Luobei for training before, and now the fifth prince supervised the country and the third prince was sent out. His Majesty may be inspecting the candidates for the crown prince.

Nangongwang attached great importance to this, and asked Nangongda to ask many officials to accompany him.

The Minister of Household Department: Lu Zhongxing, the eldest son of the Taiwei Mansion, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry: Princess Zhenzhen's son-in-law Qi Yan are all listed.

According to Guan Tiansi's calculation, three days later will be an auspicious day for traveling, and Qi Yan returned to the Princess Mansion as a matter of course.

Nangong Jingnv went over Qi Yan to lobby for the harem concubine to decide on her own rules, and the two had a very unpleasant quarrel.Qi Yan has not returned to the Princess Mansion for more than a month.

Before leaving, the two tacitly suppressed their unhappiness, had dinner together, and played chess in the room.

Without ordering, a red light was hung in front of the dormitory, and the palace lantern was placed on the small table at the head of the bed. The two hugged each other and lay on the Babu bed, enjoying the time before parting in soft voices.

No one mentioned the matter of the court, as if everything had returned to the past.

Nangong Jingnv sat up suddenly, clutching her stomach with a strange expression!

Qi Yan: "Your Highness?"

Nangong Jingnv's expression changed a few times, she looked down...

In the middle of the white underwear, a plum blossom is in full bloom.
