Qi Yue Wuyi

Not long after Nanfeng returned to Gusu, Hualufan came to visit. As the emperor's favorite, Jiangnan Wang Nanfeng certainly has many benefits. Not to mention that the palace is built by the West Lake, but the Jinyuan Garden in the city occupies a large area. The beauty of the garden is comparable to that of the officials and eunuchs of the era. During the construction, many local gentry and civilian houses were demolished, which naturally caused a lot of complaints.

Despite the public grievances, Nanfeng did not stop because of this, but squandered recklessly with the emperor's favor, building large-scale construction has long been the norm. Officials and businessmen near the south of the Yangtze River all know that he likes a luxurious life, so they often give him gifts.As a result, Nanfeng's reputation in the Jianghu became mixed, and there was no conclusion. The emperor wanted to take the opportunity to destroy his mass base and portray him as an incompetent image of pleasure-seeking, so Nanfeng naturally let it go.

Jinyuan is heavily guarded, and the guards are all elites of the Tianyun Guards sent by Lin Luo. As the three generals in Beijing, Lin Luo and Xin Yi both have deep backgrounds, not to mention their own abilities, and they are born in a family of soldiers. They are extremely prestigious, and they are already in charge of the two largest armies of Ming Dynasty based on their age alone, so naturally they will not be fools.The weakest of the three generals is Taiyu. Although his background is the same as that of the other two, his status is not as stable as the other two because Long Liefeng, who has been serving all the time, has rebelled against him. He often has to rely on the support of the emperor.

Lin Luo sent Nanfeng back and was not in a hurry to go back. Although Long Lieyang absolutely did not want Nanfeng to have more contact with high-ranking officials, he could not control Lin Luo. , it is impossible for him to punish Lin Luo for such a trivial matter.Nan Feng was not very polite to him, he sat down on a chair nonchalantly as before, pointed to a chair and said, "Sit."

"I have heard for a long time that His Royal Highness Jiangnan's mansion is extraordinarily luxurious and elegant. Seeing it today really opened my eyes." Lin Luo said and sat down beside him. Nanfeng smiled: "How about seeing you off?"

"I've lived in Beijing for a long time, and I'm afraid I can't bear the luxury of Gusu City." The maid brought the tea to his hand, and Nanfeng sneered: "Retire."

"His Highness doesn't seem to trust the servants in the house?"

"When this house was built, 31 households were demolished, and a dozen of them did not want to move. They were killed overnight, and their bodies were buried in the back garden. Would you like me to take you to have a look?" Nanfeng said disdainfully. With a smile, "I don't care for such things."

"His Majesty seems to value His Highness very much."

"Of course, he is the only one like me." Nan Feng said bluntly, "If he doesn't love me, who else can I love?"

"General Taihua was ambushed not long ago. Xin Yi said that when he arrived, he was already dead." Lin Luo said, "You want to hear about him."

"General Taihua probably came from a family."

Lin Luo put down the teacup, and the high-quality porcelain fell on the table with a slight sound, and his sigh was particularly desolate: "Xin Yi told me that General Taihua's last words were to hope that General Taiyu could return to Taijia , I have been with him for many years, this is his lifelong wish, until he dies, it still has not been fulfilled."

Nanfeng shook his head: "You should talk to Taiyu about this, I am not familiar with Taiyu."

"Obviously the royal family does not want Taiyu to go back. Long Liehe and Long Liefeng will not want him to return to Tai's family, especially Long Liefeng. He will not be willing to give up the only chess piece in his hand. As long as Taiyu returns to Tai's family , everything in his past can be erased, including... the Taiping county." Lin Luo looked at Nanfeng, "When it comes to the attitude of the royal family, Xin Yi and I are not qualified to negotiate..."

"If the Tai family collapses, a new force will inevitably rise up, and then your status and Xin Yi's status will be threatened."

"If it was King Zhenbei, or General Li Chongwen, Xin Yi and I would have nothing to say, but although Bai Wei came from a family of officials, his foundation in the army is still shallow. In order to support him, the emperor will definitely follow me and Xin Yi. High-ranking people, what’s more, King Zhenbei, or Taiyu.” Lin Luo shook his head, “Xin Yi and I have watched him use all kinds of means to kill people from the Tai family, and now Taihua is also died, the only surviving daughter is 16 years old, and the son is only six years old, it is impossible for the Tai family to let a six-year-old child lead the army."

"Do you think I want to see Bai Wei flourishing in the army?" Nanfeng knocked on the table with his knuckles, "You know my father scolded me just now."

Lin Luo smiled indifferently: "You are notorious now, if you are locked up in the palace like Yu Xuzi again, you can imagine the consequences."

Nanfeng raised his eyebrows, thinking that Lin Luo really knew everything: "I let Yuxuzi continue to stay in the palace to deal with that old guy. Although Yuxuzi is the crown prince in name, he is capable enough. Shangtai Xueniang has a special status, no matter what the emperor wants to do, she can't escape his eyes, but both Li Chongwen and Taiyu have a fatal flaw, you should know it."

"The two of them lack the foundation in the court, so you've got your idea on me?"

"If I remember correctly, apart from joining the army, the rest of General Lin's family must have served as officials in Beijing." Nan Feng said, "Your Majesty, 1 people believe in your loyalty to him."

Lin Luo shook his head with a smile: "I have always been on good terms with Long Liehe, but..."

"Do you want to pay him too?"

Lin Luo sighed: "That man is very cunning. I have stayed by his side for so many years, but I have never found out who he is."

Nan Feng couldn't help laughing, he laughed for a while, and finally said: "Of course you can't find out, he is a dead man, he is Long Lieyang."

"Long Lieyang?" Lin Luo was stunned, "You mean he's not dead?"

Nanfeng nodded: "The person who died at that time was actually Long Liehe. He always regarded his brother as important, and he was willing to die for him, but...he didn't expect that after his death, Long Lieyang would take advantage of him Live on in his name."

Lin Luo nodded: "Long Lieyang is not a likable person. Although he is orthodox in the royal family, Long Liehe always thinks he is like the sun, but I always feel that this person has an unfathomable sinister heart. think."

"You didn't expect much." Nanfeng said, "I can think of a way to let Taiyu return to Tai's house, but I definitely can't do it alone. I am not qualified to speak about this matter. Neither of you, only one person has it, but she dare not say it."

"Who are you talking about?"

"Who else? Taihua's only daughter, Taixueyi." Nanfeng supported his head and tapped the table twice with his fingertips. "Taihua is dead. If she doesn't marry Baiwei, the emperor will marry her." personality, he will really send Tai Xuelong to the front line, when the time comes..."

"Maybe... collateral?"

"Do you think people in the collateral line dare to mention it?" Nanfeng smiled and shook his head, "Taiyu is different from them. He is the eldest son, Taihua's elder brother. If he hadn't been expelled from the family, the head of the family would have It should be his, so it is justifiable for him to come back."

"What do you want her to do?" Lin Luo frowned. Tai Xueyi really didn't dare to speak. She was different from Tai Xueniang. For such a big matter, she has nothing to do, "Sometimes I really think that if Tai Xueyi is like Tai Xueniang, it will be much better... She just goes to find Xueniang..."

"Weakness has its advantages. A woman like Tai Xueyi who doesn't know the sufferings of the world dare not make up her mind on this matter, but she can become very independent on another matter." Nan Feng smiled Said, "Let me give you an idea, she will definitely do well."

Although Taihua is an official in the capital, their family has been in the south of the Yangtze River for generations. After all, the Tai family rose from the south of the Yangtze River. Tai Xueyi has the unique softness of Jiangnan women. Nanfeng and Lin Luo went together on the day of Taihua's funeral. Changed into a white robe which is rare, Taiyu brought several sons and Tai Xueniang also came from the capital, after all, he was his own younger brother, even if he was expelled from the house, he still had to come to see him off.

When Nanfeng entered the mourning hall, he saw a woman dressed in heavy filial piety beside the coffin, crying bitterly while holding a crying little boy in her arms, and a young girl kneeling quietly beside her, who was just in her prime. His eyes were red, and he kept wiping away tears.The steward and Mrs. Zheng received Nanfeng, because the two sons of Mrs. Taihua's knees passed away, and now only a pair of sons and daughters in the concubine are alive. There are not many people from the Tai family. Ding withered, it was embarrassing to watch.

As Nanfeng was massaging the mourning hall, he felt that Lin Luo gave him a hand and said in a low voice, "Taiyu is here."

Taiyu and his children all wore pure white robes without embroidery. Although they didn't have to wear mourning, their hearts were quite heavy. Tai Xueniang even knelt down and began to cry.Taiyu was very silent all the time, he burned incense, then took his wife's handkerchief and wiped away his tears, walked over to try to comfort him, but he opened his mouth but couldn't speak.

At this time, the girl who was kneeling quietly just now suddenly rushed over with her skirt in hand, hugged Taiyu's waist and cried loudly: "Uncle, you have to decide for your niece! My niece will not marry unless she is an uncle in this life!"

None of the people present reacted, and they were all stunned for a moment. It was her mother, Aunt Lan, who came back to her senses in time and angrily said: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Uncle Taiyu, the only thing my daughter thinks about is Uncle Taiyu! My daughter has already made up her mind that she will not marry an uncle in this life!" Tai Xueyi insisted, and Mrs. Zheng hurriedly recruited a few maids to pull Tai Xueyi away. Open, but Tai Xueyi seemed to be determined, holding Taiyu tightly, and even Taiyu couldn't break free for a while.

At this time, Bai Wei just stepped into the door, and when he saw this posture, he was immediately dumbfounded: "Madam, what happened?"

"Uncle, please help me!" Tai Xueyi was still crying loudly. Seeing that her father could not get away, Tai Xueniang had to come to help, and finally pulled Tai Xueyi away. Taiyu frowned and turned to leave. When they got to the door, they heard Tai Xueyi let out a miserable howl, she threw off Tai Xueniang and ran headlong towards the pillar.

Nanfeng Yanjiu quickly stepped forward and grabbed her sleeve, but only heard the sound of cloth being torn, her sleeve was torn off, Nanfeng was stunned, Tai Xueyi had already rushed to the pillar and bumped into her. go up.
