All kinds of disputes about the peace talks did not affect the Zhennan palace of Wangdu.
Because of the growing heat, Xiao Yi got enough ice early. Every day, he put two pots of ice in his room, which made Nangong Yue reluctant to go out.
Beautiful rest a nap, Nangong Yue just got up, lily with a pile of books into the room.
"Princess, steward Zhu has sent the account books."
Auditing is usually done at the end of the year, but the accounts at the end of the year are really in a mess. In the past six months, Nangong Yue has also spent some efforts to rectify them, and he thinks that he should have a look at the account books in the middle of the year.
What's more, Xiao Yi needs a lot of money to raise her soldiers. She has to see where she can move some money.
"Take it to my study."
Nangong Yue casually ordered a, let Baihui give himself a home style bun, just wear a few pearls at will, then went to the small study.
Nangong Yue looked at the account books on the book case and asked casually, "are these the only ones?"
Lily replied, "steward Zhu said that there are still some that have not been delivered. The new steward has just gone, and he has not had time to sort out the old accounts. He will send them back later."
Nangong Yue nodded and asked her to prepare tea and snacks for herself, and then she looked carefully.
All the original account books were burned by nangongyue, and all the accounts were recorded again. Therefore, each of the account books was only a few pages. Although it was less, it was much clearer than the original random records.
It's just
"Still no money." Nangong Yue felt a little depressed.
It took a lot of money to reorganize these industries, and it will take at least next year to see a little profit. I'm afraid the government will have to rely on the shipyards and the bank in the south of the Yangtze River to spend the money this year. If we only support the whole family, the money is more than enough. But if we want to support an army, it is far from enough.
Moreover, last time Xiao Yi also mentioned that he had forcibly occupied two cities in southern Xinjiang from Zhennan king. The two cities were greatly damaged during the invasion of the southern barbarians. Xiao Yi was the master and was exempted from taxes for two years. However, urban reconstruction needs silver, and the temperament of Zhennan king may not provide a little silver for Xiao Yi's city.
Nangongyue has a headache. In recent months, he has sent 70000 liang of silver to Nanjiang. It should be OK to last for a few months, but
"No way I don't want to show you... "
Suddenly, a light and crisp smile came from outside. Baihui, who was waiting in the study, could not help frowning. He was about to go out to remind him, but Nangong Yue simply put down his account book and raised his voice: "you come in."
The door of the study opened, and Lily and magpie came in.
Baihui stares at lily, but it is not convenient to reprimand him in front of Nangong Yue, but Nangong Yue suddenly notices that Lily's cheek is slightly reddish.
Lily is so careless that she blushes?
Nangong Yue eyebrow tip a pick, suddenly feel interesting to say: "lily, take out I have a look."
Lily's face was stiff. He turned his head to stare at magpie. Then he walked slowly to Nangong Yue and spread out his right hand. A wooden hairpin was lying in the palm of her hand. This hairpin is nothing special. It looks rough. It looks like the craftsman who made this hairpin is still a novice.
Looking at Lily's bright face, Nangong Yue's mind suddenly flashed an idea, deliberately said: "this hairpin is of ordinary workmanship, it can't be worn out. I'll give you a better one. I don't want this one."
Lily quickly took back her hand and shook her head in a hurry: "princess, I, I like this."
"Who sent it?" Nangong Yue suddenly came to a word, let Lily's brain has not yet responded, suddenly took off the mouth and said, "it's ah LAN." As soon as her voice fell, she knew that she had said something wrong. She quickly covered her lips with her hands and looked at Nangong Yue eagerly.
A straight tempered person is easy to get used to! However, I didn't expect that Lily and Alan Obviously, their first meeting was very unpleasant. Lily looked at ah LAN very much in the back. Now it seems that they are a pair of happy enemies.
Baihui is also silly eyes, staring at her cousin, thinking: this little girl, such a big thing should be hidden from yourself?!
"It's Alan." Nangong Yue pretended to be meditative and nodded. He saw that Lily looked at him nervously. She suddenly laughed and said, "in a few days, let ah LAN propose marriage."
Lily immediately beamed and nodded happily. He didn't see any pinching, but he was a bit of the hearty of the people in the lake.
Although the maids who follow the hostess usually stay after 18 or even in their 20s, Nangong Yue naturally expects them to be good. If they have the right person, they will marry early.
It's a pity that Yimei Thinking of Yi Mei, Nangong Yue's expression was slightly dark, but soon he got up and made fun of lily.
While joking, there was a footstep outside the door. Then Xiao Yi pushed the door and came in. Nangong Yue was in a good mood and asked, "what's wrong today?"Nangong Yue got up to greet him. Baihe was a girl's home. When he heard the word "happy event", he blushed. He quickly made a salute and took his cousin and magpie to escape.
Xiao Yi was confused. Nangong Yue said with a smile, "you are right. Our family is going to have a wedding ceremony." Then he talked about Lily and ah LAN.
Xiao Yi was very happy when he heard this and said, "ah LAN is really a good boy. It's a match for Lily to marry him."
Nangong Yue should say: "I also think so."
Ah Lan's temperament and character are in the eyes of her, it is also a good match, this just agreed to come down.
Xiao Yi took her to the beauty couch. After reading the book case, he noticed a pile of account books placed on it, and asked casually, "what's the matter These are the new books? "
Nangong Yue nodded, broke his finger and said, "I've roughly calculated it. I can move another ten thousand liang of silver for the time being. However, we can't do it alone. I've thought about it. I still have to get the silver out of Xiao Fang's hand. I don't know where she's got the silver Too much is better than too much. I'm afraid we can't rely on the emperor again this time. "
Xiao Yi has been listening with a smile. At this time, a sly light flashed in his eyes and said, "speaking of all, last time my father asked me to give half of the property to Xiao Luan, we divided it."
"You mean..." Nangong Yue's mind flashed, "this is good!"
Naturally, Xiao Yi can say how much property the old prince has left. Xiaofang dares to say that in recent years, Xiao Yi's property has only made 6000 Liang silver. So they can say that the old prince has only left two shops.
Give him his own way.
If Xiao Fang wants to give Xiao Luan more property, she will not give up. As long as she dares to make trouble, the Xiao clan will come to show up.
Xiao Fang's name as a "mother" in the end, people all value filial piety. For Nangong Yue, it's worth even a little more effort in order not to let Xiao Yi's reputation get in the way.
"Calculate the time. It's time for the edict to arrive in southern Xinjiang." Nangong Yue can't wait.
Speaking of Southern Xinjiang, at this time, the soldiers in Luoyue City camp, thousands of miles away, were still practicing.
Just listen to the direction of the martial arts arena, from time to time came the sound of soldiers stepping, shouting and drinking, weapons collision One after another.
At the gate of the barracks, two tall and strong soldiers were guarding both sides of the entrance. One of the soldiers with a square face saw that there was no one around, so he quietly called out "three trees." He summoned his companion and whispered in his ear.
"What?! Princess, she has seized the property of shiziye?! Qian Dazhuang, you are not joking Another black faced man exclaimed in disbelief. He was so scared that Qian Dazhuang looked around and glared at his companion, indicating that he should be quiet.
Qian Dazhuang continued: "there is still a fake! Yesterday my mother-in-law came to see me in the camp and told me that it has been spread out for a long time. How do you think the princess was sent to the temple of Ming and Qing Dynasties? It's not because she was punished by the emperor! "
They don't know why the princess went to the Ming and Qing temples to pray for blessings. But now that they are spreading it like this, it must be true!
Hearing this, Chen Sanshu was almost stunned. After a while, he sighed: "the princess's courage is too big. Hello, do you think it's actually..." With that, his voice fell down, frowned, and wrote a quick "King" character in midair with his fingers.
Qian Dazhuang immediately understood it and whispered, "listen to my mother-in-law. Many people say that now. If you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. The son of a generation is really pitiful..."
Chen Sanshu's face suddenly changed and he said in a hard voice, "Lao Qian, since you have suffered from the cold, you'd better tell the centurion..."
Qian Dazhuang was confused by him, "when will I..." Seeing his companion winking at him, he finally realized that he was not right. He turned around stiffly and saw a middle-aged man in armor looking at them not far away.
Two soldiers were busy kneeling on one knee and saluting: "see general song!" too bad! What they said just now did not know how much general song heard.
Song Xiaojie strode to the two soldiers and coldly dropped a sentence: "do a good job, no gossiping!" Then he strode out of the camp.
The two soldiers were so frightened that they fought on both legs. They thought that they could not avoid the punishment of the thirty army staff this time. However, general song let them go with one eye closed. They looked at each other for a long sigh of relief.
After Song Xiaojie got out of the camp, he immediately jumped on a black horse and galloped all the way to Luoyue city.
His eyes were slightly heavy and his mind was heavy. What the two soldiers had just said was just the tip of the iceberg. Now, the views of the generals and the people of Southern Xinjiang on Zhennan King were the most worrying to him!
If we go on like this, the morale of the army and the people will be unstable.
It seems that it's the prince who needs to be mentioned Song Xiaojie said in his heart.
After arriving at the Zhennan palace in Luoyue City, song Xiaojie first reported the military information to Zhennan king. After dealing with the business, he said, "Lord, there will be one thing that I don't know should not be mentioned?"Zhennan Wang's face was positive and said in a deep voice, "Xiaojie, what can't you say between you and me?"
Song Xiaojie rationalized his thoughts and said, "Lord, do you know the most popular new play in the city recently?"
Zhennan Wang Zheng Zheng Zheng, confused.
In the past, Xiao Fang, the princess of the imperial family, liked to watch operas. From time to time, there was a sound of singing opera in the mansion. But since Xiao Fang's family went to the Qingming temple, the house was much quieter. Why did song Xiaojie suddenly mention singing opera? Did he not want to express his feelings to Xiao Fang?
After all, they have been husband and wife for more than ten years. If song Xiaojie really comes to talk about love, he will simply go down the steps
The king of Zhennan was thinking about it, so he heard song Xiaojie continue: "a few days ago, the Opera Troupe in the city had a new play called" Miss Shi Jiaofu. ". This is a joke about a senior general surnamed Shi of the former dynasty who had been fighting for many years, and left her home to his stepwife, Wang. Wang treated her eldest daughter as her own and loved her as a treasure. Unfortunately, she was indulgent and disrespectful to her stepmother. Over time, general Shi was not happy with his eldest daughter. On the contrary, he loved the children of his stephouse. When she was old, general Shi quickly chose a marriage for her. Miss Shi has a bad reputation, and her husband's reputation is not very good. However, no one expected that Miss Shi used evil to control evil, and she turned her husband into a tool. Her husband was admitted to the Jinshi a few years later. After that, there was a rumor in the city that it was the stepmother who was unkind, and that Miss Shi had a bad reputation in order to protect herself. The Wang family had a sinister heart. He not only deliberately killed Miss Shi, but also took the dowry left by her original marriage... "
"Ridiculous! It's ridiculous Hearing this, Zhennan Wang finally couldn't suppress his indignation and interrupted him.
What general Shi? What Wang?
This play is clearly in allusion to his own town South King and Princess Xiao Fang's family!
How brave these villains are!
Zhennan Wang's face was black and said angrily, "which Opera Troupe dares to be so bold?" How dare you criticize the palace so much!
Song Xiaojie sighed for the attention of Zhennan king. In a flash, many pictures flashed through his mind. Now all the cities and the army in southern Xinjiang have been spread, and the only one who knows nothing about it is Wang Ye.
He bit his teeth and made it clear: "Lord, it's not just the opera troupes, but the people in southern Xinjiang are telling that the princess will not return the property of the son of heaven..."
Zhennan Wang's face was even more ugly, and he almost didn't stand up. "How did this get out?"
How could this happen?
After the last edict arrived, he had ordered Xiao Fang to return his property and silver, and sealed his servant's mouth. This should have been uncovered quietly. How could it have been spread? And spread it to the whole southern Xinjiang?
Although it was Xiao Fang who was wrong, he could not escape the reputation of lax family governance!
Song Xiaojie sighed in his heart: This is always the Lord's family affair. How can he know it?
However, his face was still, and he bowed his head and said respectfully: "Lord, in the teahouses and restaurants in the city, those scholars are talking about it in succession. Some people say that the prince is confused and is dominated by a woman and regards his parents and children as enemies. Therefore, he did not send troops to reinforce him. Even the son of a generation has defeated Fuzhong and kailian, and the prince still insists on seizing the son of God It's a great achievement. Even, some people suspect that the princess's move was made by the Lord behind his back... "
In a word, the king of Zhennan was coaxed around by the princess. He was so confused that he could not see the future of his son. He lamented that the son of a man was so miserable that he could grow up peacefully only by acting like a dandy since he was a child. He praised the son of God for his tolerance of humiliation and the fact that he was not contaminated.
With song Xiaojie's every statement, Zhennan king was furious and said: "a bunch of nonsense! How can I covet that son of a bitch for such a little silver? "
"The Lord will not." Song Xiaojie hurriedly said, "the problem is that outsiders don't know what to do with it."
Song Xiaojie sighs in his heart.
In fact, it's no wonder that some people say that Wang Ye. Since shiziye returned to southern Xinjiang last year, his bravery and outstanding performance are obvious to all. He took the lead in many wars, led his troops to fight bravely, and finally defeated the southern barbarians. Naturally, the contribution made by his blood and sweat was naturally looked upon by all the people in the army. However, the prince repeatedly disappointed the soldiers and gradually lost the morale of the army and the people.
In contrast, shiziye's prestige in southern Xinjiang is at its zenith. I don't know how many people are secretly envious of the two cities of Zhonghe and kailian, which can be held by Shizi himself. However, the people in the two cities are more obedient to the emperor, with high fighting spirit and high morale. The reconstruction of the two cities is orderly. The people have a faint momentum of "only know that there are sons, but not Princes"! But they can't tell the Lord.
The prince will not listen to it. Thinking that the prince refuted the money needed for the reconstruction of kailian in order to get angry with Shizi, song Xiaojie couldn't help sighing. Isn't this a deliberate message?
No wonder these two cities are loyal to shiziye now.
Song Xiaojie was eager to speak, but finally he had to say implicitly: "Lord, now the rumors are getting more and more fierce. For the sake of the reputation of the prince and the royal family, please persuade the princess to show his feelings..." Only by letting Xiao Fang's family admit their mistakes can we stabilize the people's hearts and minds in southern Xinjiang.But what song Xiaojie said later, Zhennan King couldn't listen to it at all. He was so angry that his forehead was so blue that he murmured: "how unreasonable, how unreasonable!" In my heart, I just feel that the whole southern Xinjiang is watching his own jokes, ridiculing him for his muddleheaded mind, for his ignorance of gold and jade, for being led by a woman by the nose
The more he thought about it, the more he breathed, he suddenly felt choked. He raised his hand to cover his chest. His face was pale, even faintly blue. He breathed heavily in his mouth, and his eyes turned white
Song Xiaojie felt that there was something wrong with the king of Zhennan and exclaimed, "Lord!"
Before the words fell, the king of Zhennan had already fallen down to the ground. Song Xiaojie couldn't get up quickly. He helped Zhennan Wang and yelled: "please send for the doctor! The Lord fainted... "
The news that Zhennan King fainted was immediately spread all over the palace. Some people went to ask for a doctor, some went into the study to help him move the Zhennan king to the bed in the main courtyard room, and others rushed to inform the Wei side imperial concubine and several princes and girls.
After a while, Doctor Wang, the doctor in the palace, was sweating and carrying the medicine box. Then, Wei, Xiao Luan and Xiao Fei, the imperial concubines, came here in a hurry.
Taking advantage of Doctor Wang's injection to Zhennan Wang, Wei turned his head and looked at Song Xiaojie and said, "general song, I heard that the general was on the spot when he fainted in his study. What happened?" Wei's voice was gentle and polite, and his eyes were full of worries, but he didn't mean to ask about silk.
Song Xiaojie respectfully replied: "back to the side of the princess, this matter or wait for the prince to wake up again."
Wei's light frown eyebrow heart, half drop eyes, did not ask what again.
Xiao Luan on one side was discontented and said, "general song, my father and king are like this now. What else can't be said to us? Do you have to wait for my father to wake up? In case... "
Xiao Luan was about to reprimand when she heard a servant girl exclaim in surprise: "Lord Lord, wake up
Xiao Luan swallow to the mouth of words, turn around to see the bed of Zhennan king really wake up, face is still some white, eyes are not God, where is still like the usual awe inspiring Zhennan king.
"Lord, you are awake at last, but you are worried about the death of my concubine." Wei's side imperial concubine was sitting on the edge of the bed, and said to the king, "I know that the Lord is always busy with his business, but he still has to take good care of himself."
Seeing that Zhennan Wang woke up, Wei's heart was slightly relieved. If Zhennan Wang was really seriously ill, she was not afraid of anything else. She was afraid that she would give Princess Xiao Fang an excuse to return to the palace.
Although the princess will come back sooner or later, the Wei family still hopes to wait until he gets in touch with the royal family.
Zhennan Wang patted Wei's hand and indicated that he was OK. Then he looked around and said weakly: "you all go out first. I have something to say to general song."
Wei's soft voice told him two words, and then he retreated with Xiao Luan and Xiao Fei. He thought to himself: we still need to find someone to ask what the king and general Song said
When there were only himself and song Xiaojie left in the room, Zhennan king said to song Xiaojie with a straight face and a sharp look: "Xiaojie, pass on the king's order and bundle the whole southern Xinjiang. If anyone dares to discuss the right and wrong of the king's house, he should stick to the twenty boards; if he commits a crime again, he will be sentenced to death!"
Song Xiaojie was shocked and said, "Lord, this..."
He felt that Zhennan Wang was confused? If this order is issued, will it not further confirm the rumor? I'm afraid there will be more people who suspect that everything is under the command of Zhennan King
"Do as the king says." Zhennan Wang Li voice way.
Song Xiaojie said in his heart, "yes."
Song Xiaojie retreated. Although he did not want to, he could only follow the orders of Zhennan king.
After severe punishment, no one dared to talk about it. However, as song Xiaojie worried, all the people's conjectures seemed to be confirmed by the untimely order of Zhennan king. Therefore, the king of Zhennan connived at the princess's harsh treatment of her parents and children, which spread faster than before.
Only two days later, even Xiao Fei, the eldest girl of Zhennan palace, got the news. She frowned slightly and asked Zhennan Wang, who was still on her bed, to visit her mother and concubine in the Ming and Qing temples.
In the past few days when Zhennan Wang was resting in his bed, he let his boys go out to inquire. Sure enough, the opera troupes, storytellers and scholars settled down, and no one dared to discuss the privacy of the palace. He felt that his decision was really right. To deal with these troublemakers, we should let them know their superiority and inferiority.
Zhennan Wang was in a good mood and in good spirits. Even his illness seemed to be about to recover. So Xiao Fei's request was mentioned, and he readily responded.
Xiao feifu's body retreated. The king of Zhennan was going to let the boy take a spare book to have a look. Suddenly, a disordered footstep sounded outside, followed by a slightly anxious voice: "Lord, the angel is coming, it's to preach the imperial edict!"
Zhennan wangdun eyebrows frown, how to have the imperial edict again!?
There was a foreboding in his mind. More than ten years after the last emperor's edict, there have been more good things than before.But even if he was not happy in his heart, the king of Zhennan could only be served. He changed his clothes and went to the front hall to meet the angel.
To the surprise of Zhennan king, the imperial edict was originally given to the princess Xiao Fang!
But according to the emperor's will, the king of Zhennan should listen to the order together.
Although I don't know what is in the edict, the king of Zhennan has already sunk in his heart, and his foreboding is more and more strong. After simultaneous interpreting the
, the king of Nan Zhen sat down on a red top coach and escorted several palace men to the Ming and Qing temple.
Three hours later, Zhennan Wang and Xiao Fang knelt together in the courtyard of the Ming and Qing temples to listen to the edict.
The servant read the edict in a long, sharp voice, but Xiao Fangshi only heard one sentence, and he felt the sound in his ears.
How could it be!?
Is she dreaming?
She's the princess of South Town! How could the emperor take her Princess's life?
In the history of Dayu, it was the first time ever!
Xiao Fang's whole body froze. His first reaction was to jump up and beat the waiter's mouth. He wanted to tear up the imperial edict and treat it as a nightmare
All the thoughts flashed by, but she quickly calmed down.
It is an unchangeable fact that her imperial edict has been robbed. However, southern Xinjiang is different from the capital of kings. In southern Xinjiang, Zhennan king is the local emperor. As long as Zhennan king is willing to protect her, even if there is no imperial edict, she will not be afraid! Who dares to disrespect her!
After the king of Zhennan ordered the servant to be sent out, Xiao Fang blinked. A mist appeared in his eyes. He looked at him dimly with tears and sobbed: "Lord, I am wronged..."
She was so aggrieved that she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her cuffs. She knelt down and sobbed. She looked soft and lovely. But when her eyes were on the icy eyes of Zhennan king, the whole person suddenly fell into an ice kiln.
As if something had happened that she didn't know about?
Zhennan Wang looked at her coldly and said in a sharp voice, "Xiao Fang, what's going on here?"
In the imperial edict, Xiao Fang was only mentioned as his mother, but he was not kind to his stepson Xiao Yi. He could not be honored as a princess. However, Zhennan king didn't believe that it was just that. The emperor would take Xiao Fang's instructions.
"Lord..." Xiao Fang's tears came down, and her pretty face was full of sadness. "I don't know how I came back. Last time you asked me to return the silver and property that Yi had kept for him, I've already returned it. But why Lord, I'm really wronged. "
While crying, Xiao Fang noticed the king's look and said carefully, "is it that Yi is still angry with his concubine? I treat him like my own son all the time. You know, Lord, I'm not selfish... "
After more than ten years of husband and wife, Zhennan Wang has no feelings for Xiaofang. However, when he thinks of the rumors in southern Xinjiang these days, and the thought that he has been accused of murdering his parents and children, Zhennan Wang's heart is filled with resentment, and his eyes are cold.
"Enough!" Zhennan Wang interrupted her impatiently, waved his hand wearily and said, "Xiao Fang, I don't care what stupid things you have done. In a word, I've lost all my face to you!"
"Lord..."
Xiao Fang tried to catch the sleeve of Zhennan king, but he threw it away.
The good reputation of Zhennan palace was destroyed in the hands of this woman! Zhennan Wang was disgusted. He took a deep breath and coldly shook his sleeve and said, "the emperor's will has been done. I think the temple is quite clean. You might as well cultivate yourself here."
He turned around and was about to leave. Xiao Fangshi was frightened and afraid. He walked over and grabbed his robe in a hurry and said, "Lord, my concubine..."
In the past, Xiao Fang's voice was like a warbler's voice, but now it sounds like a sparrow. Zhennan Wang kicked his right foot hard No matter how Xiao Fangshi is, he strides away without nostalgia.
Xiao Fang was not on guard. He kicked him violently, and the whole person fell on the cold stone floor with a thump, and the bright red blood slipped down from his white forehead.
The servant girl looked at her nervously and asked, "princess, are you ok?"
Xiao Fang's heart was so cold that he had no idea. If Zhennan Wang really detested her and let her stay in qingdeng Gufo temple in Ming and Qing Dynasties, what should she do?
The blood from her forehead made her face whiter.
Xiao Fang's body was shaking like a sieve chaff. The whole person collapsed and his eyes were filled with despair
She won't take it! not reconciled to!
