History of Yongwu

Daliang South Gate

Not far away, Nangong Xun came slowly in a simple carriage, followed by no one except a servant.

"See Your Majesty"

"Palace Master has worked hard all the way." Qin Yu quickly supported him, interrupting Nangong Xun's salute.

"Thank you, my lord." Nan Gongxun stood up, glanced at his children and landed on the young man beside Yan Shijun, "Who is this?"

"This is Deng Yuan, Lieutenant of the Dongying School of the Jinwang Army of Daliang." Qin Yu said, "Deng Yuan hasn't come to pay a visit to Nangong Palace Master yet."

"Meet Uncle Nangong"

This Deng Yuan was mentioned by the King of Jin when he wrote a letter, and Nangong Xun also understood the meaning, so he couldn't help but take a closer look.After hearing about this Deng Yuan, he once wrote a letter to inquire about Yuliang, but Yuliang said that Xiang'er quite liked this person.

"General Deng is polite"

"Hehe... the long journey, the palace lord has worked hard too." Qin Yu said in a timely manner, and said with a smile, "my nephew will not bother you to rest for now. I will wait for my nephew to hold a banquet in the palace tomorrow to welcome the palace lord."

"Thank you my lord"

Everyone parted, Deng Yuan was still standing there looking at Nangongxiang who was leaving, Qin Yu secretly smiled, stood aside and said, "Don't worry, I asked for you before, and the master of Nangong has no objection to this marriage."

"Really?"

"Really..." Qin Yu laughed, took him into the carriage and said, "Tomorrow your father will be here, and this king will be here too. This Nangong Xiang, I can't run away."

"Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord," Deng Yuan smirked.After all, Deng's matchmaking with Nangong's family was a bit worse, but it would be quite different if King Jin was the guarantor.

Nangong House

As it got dark, Nangong Xun wandered around the house twice, opened the door and left.

"Xiang'er"

"Father" it was still early, Nan Gongxiang naturally did not sleep, sitting alone in the room embroidering a brocade handkerchief "Why are you here?"

"Naturally I came to see you." Nangong Xun's beard trembled, and he smiled kindly at her, sat down at the table, picked up the brocade handkerchief on the table, and asked casually, "What did you show?"

"Don't show it to father." Nan Gongxiang snatched it over, turned around and stuffed it into the cabinet.

Nangong Xun smiled a little relieved, but he was still a little uneasy, looked at her and asked, "Xiang'er, have you known that General Deng for a long time?"

"Well, it's been a long time." Nan Gongxiang was a little shy, lowered her head and poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Nangong Xun, so as to cover her red face.

"How did you meet?"

"I went hunting with the King of Jin once, and we met at the hunting ground..." Nan Gongxiang still had that instinct, happily talking to her father in her heart, and unconsciously talked a lot about what happened that day.

Nangong Xun's eyes flickered for a moment, but his expression remained the same. He looked at the brilliance in his daughter's eyes, and pressed his heart to ask, "Xiang'er likes this Deng Yuan very much?"

Uh... Nan Gongxiang blushed for a moment, but then smiled and looked at her father and said, "Well, I like it very much"

Nangong Xun smiled and nodded without making a sound, Nangong Xiang probably followed her mother, she is a resolute and strong woman, her likes and dislikes are so clear, without affectation, she is straightforward and decisive.

"Father doesn't like Deng Yuan?" Nan Gongxiang felt a little uneasy when he saw his sudden silence.

"It doesn't matter whether father likes it or not." Nangong Xun stood up and patted her on the head. "As long as he treats you well, that's fine as long as you like him too."

Nangong Xun left and walked slowly along the corridor to the house. Although he didn't know what happened, the matter of Nangong Xiang and Deng Yuan had been interrogated by the King of Jin, which was enough for Nangong Xun to feel that it was unusual.

"Father" Nangong Yuliang suddenly turned back from the back garden, and ran into Nangong Xun head-on, and was a little surprised for a while, "You haven't rested yet?"

"Where have you been?" Nangong Xun didn't answer him, looking at the lantern in his hand and asked instead.

"Yuliang couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk in the back garden"

Nangong Xun nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly turned around and asked, "Deng Yuan, what do you think?"

"General Deng is a man of talent, and he has always treated Xiang'er with courtesy, and never surpassed it. My son thinks he is a gentleman," Nangong Yuliang said pertinently.

"En." Nangong asked nodded.

Nangong Yuliang's temperament is not as irritable as Nangongxiang's, but more gentle and humble, and he is always upright, so Nangongxun is still very convinced by his words.

"Last time, when you left Daliang, did King Jin hold you accountable when you returned?"

"No" mentioning King Jin, Nangong Yuliang was instantly nervous, and quickly shook his head, "Later, when the Huaicheng incident happened, and Jintian and other places happened, King Jin might not have time to take care of Yuliang."

"Well, King Jin is cautious and suspicious. Don't act recklessly in Daliang, for fear of causing disaster."

Nangong Xun ordered to leave, Nangong Yuliang stood there strangely, he hadn't heard someone describe King Jin like that for a long time, and suddenly he felt quite uncomfortable when he heard it.

Lexing Temple

"What happened just now, but what did Nangong ask you?"

The palace banquet went well. After the banquet, Qin Yu invited Deng Yuan's parents and Nangong Xun to enjoy the garden together. He found an excuse to leave and saw Deng Yuan nervous when he returned.

"Uh...it's nothing, I just asked how the general and Miss Xiang'er met"

Qin Yu frowned, and asked again, "What did you say?"

"It is said that it was love at first sight when I was hunting with the prince, and I have always kept it in my heart."

"He's pretty good at talking." Qin Yu smiled, indicating that he could go down.

In the Hall of Lexing, Qin Yu sat there alone, feeling guilty for a while, wondering if Nangong Xun could see through all of this, the key is if he sees through, will it affect Yuliang...

With this thought in mind, Qin Yu quickly got up and asked Xiao Fuzi to call back Deng Yuan's father. He had to make the marriage go faster.

King Jin's attention made the marriage of the two families proceed very quickly. Within a few days, the wedding date had been set. Seeing that the New Year's Eve was approaching, the entire Nangong Mansion was filled with joy.

Yan Shijun looked at the pair of brothers and sisters who were chatting enthusiastically, Nangong Xiang blushed and smiled, Nangong Yuliang also hid An Ran in the corner of his eyes, he did not go up to say hello, but walked through the corridor to see Nangong Xun directly.

"uncle"

"Scholar" Nangong Xun was slightly surprised, and said with a smile, "Why did you come here suddenly?"

"There is nothing wrong with the government office, I just want to come and visit my uncle"

"Sit down." Nangong Xun took him to the small study next to him and sat down. "Now that Xiang'er is going to marry into the Deng family, this Daliang may live here permanently. When I'm not around, you should visit her more often."

"It's natural." Yan Shijun poured tea to Nangong Xun, and asked hesitantly, "Is uncle really going to let Xiang'er marry Deng Yuan?"

"how?"

"Xiang'er told me that they knew each other, and Shijun felt... a little strange"

Yan Shijun looked at Nangong Xun's expression, and found that Nangong Xun just moved his eyebrows slightly, and there was nothing unusual.

"What do you think is strange?"

"Shijun ventured to guess that this matter was planned by the King of Jin, deliberately letting Deng Yuan and Xiang'er get acquainted, and attracting Xiang'er's attention."

Ha ha... Nangong Xun smiled, put down the teacup in his hand, "You can see that, it means that you didn't treat Daliang's officialdom in vain"

"Uncle...knows?" Yan Shijun was startled.

Nangong Xun didn't make a sound, and nodded slightly in acquiescence. Yan Shijun wanted to ask a question, but was stopped by Nangong Xun, and continued to say to him, "If you can understand this, then you must understand why King Jin made this happen?"

Yan Shijun naturally knew why King Jin wanted to facilitate this matter, but he looked at Nan Gongxun's eyes and suppressed the truth that he was anxious to say.

"What does uncle mean?"

"The king of Jin is ambitious, and my Nangong family can't get out of the trouble in Guanzhong. The marriage between Xiang'er and Deng Yuan can make the king of Jin feel at ease, so you don't need to say much about it, let alone tell Yuliang and Xiang'er" Nan Gongxun looked out the window and said, "After all, Xiang'er is really attracted to this Deng Yuan."

So it turned out that Yan Shijun understood his thoughts and gave up the idea of ​​telling the truth. If Nangongxun found out that he had been deceived, and King Jin was really spying on Nangong Yuliang and the entire Nangong family, would he still be so indifferent?

"Your Majesty, remember." He saluted and said goodbye, walked outside the door, turned around, turned back, stood at the door and asked Nangong, "Uncle, if King Jin is really ambitious, I'm afraid there will be other threats."

Nangong Xun hesitated for a moment, his brows were furrowed, Yan Shijun smiled imperceptibly, and bowed out again.

Lexing Temple

Green smoke hovered in the incense burner, Nangong Xun put down his teacup, looked at King Jin opposite him, and asked, "Your Majesty called this old man here, what is your order?"

"The palace lord and my little nephew are too polite." Qin Yu poured another cup of tea for him with a smile, and said a little closer, "My little nephew heard that Xiang'er and Deng Yuan's marriage has been decided, so I specially congratulate the palace lord."

"Thank you, my lord." Nan Gongxun looked at King Jin's smile, remembered Yan Shijun's advice, and didn't speak for a while, just sat quietly and sipped tea.

Nangongxun's silence made His Royal Highness King Jin nervous, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves. At this moment, he was a little envious of Deng Yuan.

"Actually, my nephew still has something to discuss with the Palace Master."

"My lord please speak"

"The government and the people of the Jin Kingdom have also been thinking about Princess Jin for a long time. This king thinks that he should obey the public opinion, but there is someone who wants to tell you." Qin Yu stammered involuntarily.

Nangong Xun's folded hands shook, and a strong uneasiness rose in his heart, "Who is it?"

"My son, Nangong Yuliang"

Sure enough, Nangong Xun's face changed suddenly, he straightened up and looked at King Jin and said, "This is absolutely impossible."

What do you mean absolutely not? Why did you Nangong family react so strongly when they heard this? Qin Yu was dissatisfied, but he decided to hold back his dissatisfaction.

"Palace Master, why exactly?" Qin Yu smiled peacefully, and asked modestly, "Could it be that you think that my nephew is not doing well?"

"The prince, the emperor, the nobles, the Nangong family can't afford it"

"Why did you say that?" Qin Yu pressed his hand, "The Nangong family and Lin Taishi's family are family friends, not to mention that you have known your mother for many years, so I will call you uncle instead, so why can't you get ahead?"

"My lord..."

"Hey? Is it possible that the king is not as good as Deng Yuan?"

King Jin's eyes were burning, and Nangong Xun suddenly clenched his fists as he watched, feeling a trace of anger in his heart.

"Since the lord mentioned it, the old man wants to ask the lord. He first set up a plan to let my daughter marry into the Deng family, and now he wants to keep my son in Jin. The lord promised the old man to protect my two children well. Why is this so? Distrust?"

"Palace Master" Qin Yu stood up and apologized, "Dongyuan and Deng Yuan did it on purpose, but it was also for the sake of Miss Xiang'er. Besides, they are in love with each other now, so what's wrong with it? I never wanted to humiliate Qianjin." "

"Because of this, the old man agreed to the Deng family's marriage, why does the prince keep pushing?" Nangong Xun also got up abruptly.

Qin Yu took a step back, and said reassuringly, "This king is not persecuting, he really falls in love with Yuliang, and Yuliang also falls in love with this king."

Yuliang... Nangongxun's beard trembled, and he took a step back and fell on the couch. Qin Yu quickly stepped forward to help him, and continued to say, "So, we are also in love with each other, and I hope the Palace Master can make it happen."

"No!" Nangong Xun shook off King Jin and stood up to leave.

Qin Yu grabbed his arm, stopped him and said, "The palace master is too heartless, this king can't catch your eyes, you said you want to protect your children, what is safer than being with this king!"

"The prince's side is more dangerous than anywhere else." Nan Gongxun stared at King Jin for a long time, and said, "You also grew up in this deep palace, so you should know what's inside the palace walls?"

"This is the state of Jin, not the capital city!"

"Anyway, this matter..."

"Mistress of the Nangong Palace" Qin Yu's voice suddenly turned cold, "You used to hide from the imperial court to avoid disasters in the Jin Kingdom, where else can you go to avoid disasters now? You have known the concubine and the queen mother for many years, so you should know how your nephew is. If you insist Not allowed, my nephew can only bring the princess to make amends to you in the future."

"The lord always puts courtesy first and then soldiers, and doesn't give others the slightest room to refuse."

Is this considered a concession?Qin Yu smiled and didn't care about his tone, raised his hand to get a cup of tea, offered it with both hands, and said respectfully, "Please calm down, uncle."

The white porcelain teacup was delivered to him, Nangong Xun knew that if he took this cup of tea, the matter would be settled, but... his eyelids twitched and he took a half step away.

"The old man can't afford the prince's great gift"

"Isn't Palace Master worried about Nangong Xiang and Deng Yuan?"

"The old man knows" Nangong Xun looked back, "The prince will not ruin this marriage"

After all, the Deng family is also a prominent lintel. If King Jin really broke up this marriage out of personal anger, it would undoubtedly be a humiliation to the Deng family.
