History of Yongwu

At the north gate of Daliang, it was rainy and there were few pedestrians. At the end of the line between water and sky, a fast horse came at a high speed, and arrived at the city gate in an instant.

"Hurry up six hundred miles, Dongyang civil uprising!!" The envoy shouted, and the lingering sound echoed.

Lexing Temple

"Mr. Let's guess right, something happened to Dongyang." Qin Yu rubbed his brows.

At the beginning of the year, the first batch of scholars from the National Policy Office were sent out. There were no aristocratic children in Dongyang who were willing to go, and Nian Ziping just filled the vacancy. At that time, Zhao Zhiping was worried that there would be many things in Dongyang. handle.

"Fortunately." After reading the letter from Nian Ziping, Zhao Zhiping put it down and said, "Although the incident happened in a hurry, it is just a refugee after all. With a little appeasement from the county government, it can be calmed down. This matter is difficult for Daliang."

Since Chunnuan, Dongyang has been causing disasters, and the family veterans headed by Xu Wenbai have been criticizing Nian Ziping for his dereliction of duty. Now this incident will definitely cause an uproar. Even Jin Wang will find it difficult to withstand the pressure and not relegate Nian Ziping.

"It's nothing, as long as Nian Ziping can solve this matter as soon as possible, the king can continue to suppress it."

"My lord, my lord..." Xiao Fuzi rushed into the palace quickly, "Six hundred miles hastened, Dongyang civil uprising, several counties fell"

when!The quilt in Zhao Zhiping's hand fell to the ground, and he was a little gloomy for a moment. He looked at King Jin, who had a low eyebrow and looked worried.

How could it fall so quickly!

Six hundred li urgently reported to the army that this matter must be announced, and the officials discussed it. In the East Hall, except for Fan Wentian who still claimed to be sick in the mansion, everyone else arrived.

"Dongyang suffers from floods every year, but it has not led to civil uprisings today. This can only be due to the dereliction of duty of the county magistrate." Xu Wenbo knelt down and said, "Please severely punish the dereliction of duty of the county and county."

The important officials knelt down a lot, Qin Yu sat there without making a sound, and looked at Xu Wenbai after a while, "Xu Shangqing thinks how to deal with it?"

"Cutting down Dongyang's ineffectiveness of the county magistrate, killing the county magistrate Nian Ziping to express the anger of the people"

"Nonsense!" Liu Yuansi pointed at him and said angrily, "The civil uprising has not yet been settled, and the county guard was killed first. It's just nonsense."

"Lord Liu, the people's upheaval is due to the county guard's ineffectiveness, and the people's grievances are boiling. If Nian Ziping is not killed, why are the people angry?" one person stood up and said.

"Okay." Qin Yu interrupted the useless fight between the two parties and asked, "Do you all think Nian Ziping should be killed?"

"The Lord's Holy Judgment"

The holy judge...hehe...Qin Yu fell silent. Seeing Xu Wenbai's silence, Fan Xingyan, who had knelt beside him and remained silent all of a sudden, took a step forward.

"My lord, the governor of Dongyang cannot absolve himself of the blame, but if the people's upheaval is the first, it is better to cut his post and put him in prison, and wait for the people's upheaval to subside before he can judge the crime."

Xu Wenbo frowned, hesitating whether to make a sound, but Jin Wang suddenly stood up.

"Just do it"

The continuous drizzle finally stopped, and the sky was still gloomy. Qin Yu lay in the dormitory tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Recently, he had been sleeping more and more badly, often waking up inexplicably.

The sound of knocking on the door just interrupted his sleepiness, Qin Yu sat up impatiently, and asked angrily, "Who?"

"Prince" Xiao Fuzi stood at the door and whispered "North Mirror"

It's really a house leak and it rains all night!Qin Yu hurriedly opened the door, took the letter and looked at it, heaved a sigh of relief, and then raised a sigh of relief.

"Little Fuzi passed on to Wang Meng, prepare a battle armor for this king"

The Dongyang rebels occupied two more counties and approached Kaiyang City, the prefecture.The commander of Jicheng was afraid that the rebels would cross Dongyang County and enter Yan County, so he ordered the guard of Jicheng to lead the King Jin Army into Dongyang to defend the rebels.

Jicheng is the old city of King Yan, and now it is the capital of Yan County. Because it borders Beihu and was once Wangji, the Jicheng Order has the right to mobilize the army of King Jin. Unlike other places, only the local garrison can be transferred. .

Jicheng Lingxin is good, but as soon as the King Jin army entered Dongyang County, the court immediately knew about it. Wang Qianhe urgently ordered the Xinyang garrison to enter Yiyang City, the prefecture, and garrison at the border of Dongyang County.

When the Northern Army heard the news, the troops from Shuocheng and Tongcheng immediately divided up and stationed in the Xincheng area, forming a coercive force on Xinyang County. This military report was sent by Kong Shi overnight from Xincheng.

"See you, my lord." Wang Meng hurriedly entered the door and said, "But something happened in the northern border?" Xiao Fuzi had already told him when he came.

"The whole army" Qin Yu looked at him, fastened his cape and "go to Dongyang"

"Dongyang?" Wang Meng was taken aback, didn't he mean that the Japanese led the army to set off, and the military newspaper was not the Northern Frontier Army? "The prince wants to go with the last general?"

"Well, go to Zhao Zhiping and ask him to follow immediately."

King Jin had already strode out of the hall after giving orders, Wang Meng immediately took the order and left quickly.

There were 24 counties in Dongyang County, which were merged into thirteen counties in Jin State. It seemed good, but the counties along the river suffered from constant floods every year. The levee in Zhouyang County broke again, and several counties downstream were destroyed flooded.

Kaiyang County

His Royal Highness King Jin has a headache looking at the map. The entire south of Dongyang County is occupied by rebels, and it is almost approaching Kaiyang. For the rebels, Wang Qianhe is fine, and will not take advantage of others, but what about King Zhao?

If there is a hand-to-hand fight with King Zhao, will Emperor Xuan enter Dongyang by quelling the chaos? He can't summon all the Northern Border Army and King Jin Army because of one Dongyang County, and then have a big Yong internal fight here!

Therefore, Dongyang County must be cautious when deploying troops. Who made this a place of four wars? While all parties are guarding against others, they are also waiting for opportunities to spy on others.

In addition to external troubles, there are also internal troubles. Dongyang people's grievances are beyond expectation, and they are extremely distrustful of the county government. His Royal Highness Jin Wang doesn't understand why?That's why he didn't let go of the suppression right away.

When Zhao Zhiping came in, Qin Yu turned around and looked at him and asked, "How's it going?"

"Prince" Zhao Zhiping cupped his hands and said, "I checked and visited, and the mob in Dongyang County thought that the prince killed innocent people indiscriminately, so the punishment was sent from heaven."

"Kill innocent people indiscriminately? Who did this king kill indiscriminately?" Qin Yu put down the cup with a snap.

"My lord remembers the Kong family"

"Kong Guopei?"

"That's right, there are rumors that although Kong Guopei is guilty, the disaster will not affect the whole family. Dongyang Kong's family is a virtuous family shown by the heavens. The prince will destroy the whole family, and the heavens will punish him," Zhao Zhiping replied.

"Family of virtue, who is talking nonsense"

"Uh..." Zhao Zhiping had a slight embarrassment on his face, and said bravely, "Do you remember the prophecy back then?"

Qin Yu raised his eyebrows and froze there, "So this king shot himself in the foot with a rock?"

"..." Mr. Zhao did not answer, but instead said, "More than that, I heard that the initial conflict was due to the county magistrate's embezzlement of food and salaries for disaster relief. The more it spreads, the more powerful it is, some say it's from the county guard, and some say it's from the prince?"

"Is this king embezzling his own food?" Qin Yu was amused.

"They said that the prince doesn't like Dongyang County, so they don't plan to help them"

Cough cough... Does this king look so boring?

Qin Yu shook his head, his brows were furrowed. Although these things were nonsensical, the people believed them to be true, and the government's explanations couldn't make sense, so they were regarded as delaying sophistry.

"My lord, are you still on good terms with that priest from Tianshen Palace?" Zhao Zhiping said suddenly.

befriend?Qin Yu thought about the scene where he met Nangong Yuliang last time, it should be regarded as friendship, right? !

"How can he help?"

"Weichen understands that because of the five years of Yonghe, there are still many people in Dongyang County who believe in Tianshen Palace. If the prince can invite people from Tianshen Palace, I think the situation should be eased."

Hmm... Qin Yu nodded after pondering for a while and said, "This king knows."

Capital

Nangong Xun followed the palace people and walked towards the Changxin Hall step by step. He already knew what Emperor Xuan was thinking, and unlike his son Nangong Yuliang, he didn't think that this matter was a temporary idea of ​​Emperor Xuan. Now King Jin and Emperor Xuan are as powerful as water Huo, Emperor Xuan's move was intended for Tianshen Palace and Guanzhong.

Looking at the pillars and sculptures in front of Changxin Hall, Nan Gongxun felt that it was no different from the Jinhua Hall where the Empress Dowager lived.You have finally become a queen mother, but you are still trapped between the red walls and golden tiles!

"See Queen Mother"

The queen mother sat on the soft couch, smiled dignifiedly and politely, and waved her hands, "Master Nangong, please stand up and sit down."

Nangong Xun sat next to him, looked at the Queen Mother who had not seen him for many years, and said with a smile, "The Queen Mother is still in such good spirits."

"I just look good, but actually there are many problems." The Queen Mother smiled, but said to him, "It's you who have been cultivating in Guanzhong."

"I can't do it either," Nangong Xun replied with a smile.

"This person can't stop him once he gets old, after all, your children and grandchildren are already that old."

"Yes, the eldest son of the emperor should get married in a few years."

"Yi'er's life is hard. Now that there is no queen mother, your majesty is busy with government affairs. Who will discipline this child?" The queen mother lowered her head and glanced at Nangong Xun.

Nangong Xun drank his tea with his head down, as if he didn't see the Empress Dowager's eyes, and didn't talk to each other.

"Actually, apart from reminiscing about the old days, I was looking for Palace Master Nangong to discuss matters. Han Yunfu Bo went there early, but the country cannot have no heirs. Your Majesty prefers Yuliang. Please ask me to ask what Palace Master Nangong means." , the queen mother took the initiative to speak.

As soon as the words came out, it was considered a marriage proposal. Nangong Xun gently put down the teacup, looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Is the Queen Mother really asking?"

"certainly"

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for my son to take on such a big job. Thank you for your love from the Queen Mother and Your Majesty." Nangong Xun said without moving.

"I know what you are worried about. Your Majesty already has three sons. It is not impossible to adopt Yi'er to Yuliang. The courtiers will not have any gossip, and I..."

"Empress Dowager" Nan Gongxun interrupted her and said, "Your Majesty values ​​the prestige of the Nangong family in Guanzhong, but Tianshen Palace has never been involved in political affairs. I beg the Empress Dowager to choose someone else."

"Not only that, His Majesty really likes Yuliang."

"But does Yuliang like His Majesty?" Nangong Xun suddenly looked at the Queen Mother, with a hint of anger floating on his face.

The queen mother stood there dumbfounded, no one had talked to her like this for many years, she frowned slightly, and she wanted to speak, but Nangong Xun stared into her eyes, the anger on her face dissipated, leaving her eyes full of sadness,

"Qing'er, you have been like this before, why can't you understand big brother?"

Brother Nangong... the Queen Mother muttered softly, that was how many years ago, when King Liang was still active in the court, and Emperor Ming had not yet ascended the throne, there was still spring breeze, green grass, and a person hidden in her heart.

"Okay." The queen mother lowered her head, her voice was very soft.

"Empress Xie" Nangong Xun heard her answer, heaved a sigh of relief, didn't speak any more, got up and wanted to leave here.

"Brother Nangong"

"Huh?" Nangong Xun turned around.

"Hao'er is no longer a child around me. He has his own ideas now, and I... can't stop him anymore." The queen mother raised her head, her voice was still so gentle and majestic, but Nangong asked There was a hint of guilt in her eyes.

"Understood, thank you." Nangong Xun smiled at her, turned and left.

Nangong House

"Father" Nangong Yuliang saluted, watching him hesitate to speak.

"Don't go to the palace anymore, the queen mother won't call you anymore." Nangong Xun looked at him and said.

Huh, Nangong Yuliang breathed a sigh of relief, and said cheerfully, "Someone asked to see my father just now, and he is waiting in the flower hall."

"Who?"

"didn't say"

Nangong Xun nodded, looked at him, and said, "Go back to your room and rest, don't leave the house if you have nothing to do."

"Yes" Nangong Yuliang left, still thinking about returning to Guanzhong immediately to meet Xiang'er.

flower hall

Nangong Xunduan sat at the head, looked at the visitor and asked, "I don't know who you are, come to visit the old man"

"Mistress Nangong, my master has a letter to deliver to Palace Master" he said and offered it with both hands.

Nangong Xun opened the letter, and after a while, raised his head and asked solemnly, "Since King Jin wants to serve the old man, he can just order it directly, why bother Your Excellency to come here?"

"Palace Master Nangong is joking. People outside the Tianshen Palace have always been respected by the world. The King of Jin also admires the Palace Master. How dare he order according to worldly etiquette? This time, I ask Palace Master Nangong to take pity on the people and go to Dongyang to help." The envoy was polite replied with a smile.

Nangong Xun also smiled, and didn't believe it in his heart. He put away the letter, looked at the person and said, "Please stay here for a day, I will think about it before replying to you."

"Troubled"

In the study, Nangong Xun was lost in thought alone. Originally, with the Nangong family's purpose of not being involved in government affairs, he would never step into this troublesome situation.

But today the Empress Dowager's marriage proposal shows that Emperor Xuan can't wait any longer. The only person who can defeat Emperor Xuan's persecution is King Jin, but is King Jin credible?

He got up and went around the yard, passed by Nangong Yuliang's room, saw him packing up his things, the kid thought they were going back to Guanzhong.Nangong Xun shook his head with a smile, regretting that he protected the children so well that they could not see the danger, so he returned to the study, thinking about it until midnight.

bang bang...

"Yuliang wake up, I have something to tell you for my father"

Nangong Yuliang woke up in a daze, opened the door, and saw his father standing outside the door with a serious face, his drowsiness disappeared in an instant, "Father, is there something urgent at this late hour?"

"Yeah." Nangong Xun came in and sat down, looked at Nangong Yuliang in front of him and said, "Tomorrow, I will arrange for someone to take you out of the city for my father. Don't ask where you are going, just follow obediently."

"Father, is it Your Majesty... Then what do you do?"

"Don't worry, since you are gone, His Majesty will lose his mind. What can I do for my father?" Nangong Xun smiled.

Nangong Yuliang didn't believe it, and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Nangong Xun, "Okay, this matter is settled like this"

In the early morning, Nangong Yuliang got into the carriage and left the capital very quickly. Looking at the city gate, he felt more and more uneasy. He touched the letter from his father to King Jin in his arms, and he hesitated to tear it open.
