Chapter 15 Front Harem
"You have always been unrestrained in front of her, in private..." After Nie Yuansheng saw his reminder, Gao Jun still looked confused and sighed, "You even called out your sister-in-law. Now she is looking for you to do this, and there are strange inside and outside. You didn't ask anything, and took the initiative to continue to talk about Gao Jieyu, isn't it? Do you feel guilty as a thief?
He shook his head, "I told you not to play tricks in front of her. You don't know that you have been trapped by her!"
Gao Jun was stunned and said, "I didn't ask Yun Mengru about it, just to show compassion for her!"
"If you explain it this way, then she will definitely continue to ask - why is it better to ask for a better relationship with the Anping Palace, and you don't ask more?" Nie Yuansheng rubbed his eyebrows tiredly and said, "How do you explain it? After all, the hostility between the two of us to Anping Palace can be concealed by Your Majesty, but we can't hide it from her!"
"..." Gao Jun meditated for a long time and said sincerely, "I don't know how to answer!"
Nie Yuansheng glanced at him and Gao Jun quickly confessed, "Second brother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have tried to test that one - after all, she and you are a couple! It's just that now that I've said something wrong, I won't go to the Chenglian Hall in three days or two. This explanation and remedy... Thank you for your hard work, brother!"
He retreated as he spoke. After saying the last sentence, he almost arrived at the door of the hall. He didn't wait for Nie Yuansheng to answer, and his whole body immediately slipped away...
Nie Yuansheng did not chase and scold, but slowly frowned, took out a purse containing refreshing mint and other things from his sleeve and sniffed. After a moment of meditation, he couldn't rest assured. He cleaned up the imperial case and got up and went out of the hall.
Zhuo Heng greeted him and asked in a low voice, "Are you giving up?"
"I'm too tired." The door of the palace was not closed, and the lights in the interior shone with the fatigue on Nie Yuansheng's face, and blood appeared in his eyes. He rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Is there cold water?"
"Yes!" Zhuo Heng whispered, "If you give up less, I'm going to fight."
Nie Yuansheng hesitated, but said, "Don't go first. I'm tired now. There are a few chapters in it. I have to ask your majesty before I come back to fg water!"
Zhuo Heng said, "I'm afraid it won't work. Your Majesty didn't return to the Xuan Room today, but he stayed in Shanlan Hall - I'm afraid he has already rested at this moment!"
"..." Nie Yuansheng was upset when he heard the words, and his face was silent.
Seeing this, Zhuo Heng quietly approached him and said, "In fact, why worry about giving up people? Your Majesty has always been in no way to care about these things. Just change it casually.
"If it falls aside, now that the Nuchuan has collapsed and the five counties have been disasterted. In autumn, if the rations of these five counties are not available, there will be exiles..." Nie Yuansheng smiled bitterly and said this, as if he was shocked to lose his words and sighed, "Well, I'll walk around and calm down and then change it!"
Zhuo Heng heard the word "distant" and knew that the matter was not small, but he didn't dare to disturb Ji Shen after all, so he said, "It's convenient for me, and the maidservant is guarding the door of the palace here."
Nie Yuansheng nodded, turned his back, slowly walked a few steps, and disappeared into the dim lights at the end of the corridor...
Changjin Palace is in the northeast of Jique Palace, not far away, only separated by a Changxin Palace. He avoided the patrol guards in a familiar way. Nie Yuansheng was familiar with the way to Chenglian Hall. He used to enter from the apse. The apse was full of lush vegetation, and then the corridor was connected to the hall.
just jumped off the palace wall, and Nie Yuansheng was still walking in the direction of the bedroom. Unexpectedly, someone said quietly in his ear, "You came slowly."
He turned his head and saw Mu Bi's wide sleeves floating, with long loose hair behind his head, standing under the palace wall, because her clothes and skirts were dark. In the forest at night, with Nie Yuansheng's vigilance, she didn't notice it when she came down.
Nie Yuansheng secretly regretted his failure and asked leisurely, "I didn't hold my breath. Why didn't you even find anyone in the forest today?"
"There are many things in North Korea these days." Nie Yuansheng paused for a moment before answering. When he opened his mouth, there was an unconcealed hoarseness. Mu Bi was slightly stunned, and her originally stunned eyes softened and said, "Then why do you still want to come here... Forget it, go in first!"
When he arrived at the bedroom, Ashan was making needles and threads under the lamp. Seeing this, he wanted to retreat silently. Mu Biwei ordered, "Make a pot of tea and get some food."
The two sat on the couch. Under the light, Nie Yuansheng's face was obviously haggard. Mu Bi saw it and frowned unconsciously: "How did you make it like this?"
"Nuchuan has made a break." Nie Yuansheng sighed, "Five counties have been affected, and I'm afraid there will be no harvest this year!" In autumn, I'm afraid there will be exiles. In the past few days, your majesty is worried about the selection, and there are also talk about beauty production and the favor of Shunhua. After all, I am a little unable to do such a big event!"
Mu Bi muttered slightly, "Nuchuan is not the first time to make a decision. I remember that Gao Zu also made a decision? Is there a precedent to follow?
"That time was different." Nie Yuansheng immediately shook his head. Obviously, he had also considered it and said, "That decision was far less serious than this time, but the two counties were affected by the disaster, and it was not enough for the whole county to receive it!" Moreover, among the five counties affected this time, Zhao County, Yan County, Liang County... The situation is relatively complicated. These three counties were the fiefdom of Emperor Shenwu of Wei and his mother, King Ruyin, and they have been a place of more elite soldiers since ancient times. At the beginning, King of Ruyin relied on this foundation and defeated Gaozu in seven consecutive battles, which greatly damaged Gaozu's vitality. Later, my grandfather designed Li With the king of Ruyin's favorite concubine with a decisive and resolute son and a cowardly legitimate son, Princess Ruyin was extremely dissatisfied with this and instigated Princess Ruyin to kill King Ruyin and surrender to Gaozu with her son..."
"But the king of Shanchang at the time of Gaozu?" Mu Biwei recalled and asked.
Nie Yuansheng nodded: "The king of Shanchang is young and cowardly, and Gao Zu still likes him very much. This is also the only king with different surnames so far in this dynasty, but soon as he became the queen of Shanchang, he was killed by his concubine brother who escaped when the king of Ruyin died. He had no children behind him. The original princess of Ruyin and later the imperial concubine of Shanchang wanted to take his mother's nephew. The heir was not allowed by Gaozu. He only added the two daughters of King Shanchang to the princess and gave them food to the three counties... Now the two princesses have passed away one after another. Of course, the three counties were also taken into the country at the time of the previous emperor, but the two princesses were prosperous and formed a large family in the three counties, because King Ruyin managed the three counties well in those years. The people of these three counties have always been towards the descendants of King Ruyin. Even if the court recovers the food after the death of the two princesses, it is difficult for local officials to make friends with the two princesses and their descendants. However, the one who was transferred to the governor of Yan County in the last period was a cousin who was both a plan. Not to mention his ability, but Ge Geng, who did not know how to change, ignored the queen of Shanchang at all. After taking office, he fought frequently with the queen of Shanchang. This time, Yan County did not necessarily suffer disasters in the whole county. Both sides restrained and delayed each other, so they failed to transfer the people and build embankments in time... Hey! These damn things!"
He originally spoke in a very plain tone. After all, Nuchuan's decision was not a matter just reported, but as he spoke, he was really angry: "If it's just one or two counties, it's okay. Now the five counties have been disaster, and the population of the five counties adds up to hundreds of thousands of people! If there is no relief in autumn, it will be hundreds of thousands of exiles! Nowadays, although the treasury is not empty, there are Rouran in the north and Nanqi in the south. One carelessness is a major event that shakes the foundation of the country! This idiot! I couldn't stand the anger for a moment. I made such a big disaster that I didn't think about myself and repeatedly impeached the Queen Shanchang in Shangshu!
"This fool doesn't even think about it! If there is free time in the court, how can you sit and watch the hearts of the three counties facing the blood of the former Wei?! Now, the queen of Shanchang also sent people to Yedu to submit a letter, saying that it was a plan to blackmail large households in the fish and meat village, which made the people of the three counties miserable, which made Nuchuan out of control after the decision! These three counties are not just as simple as supporting the Queen Shanchang! The three counties have sent elite soldiers since ancient times. After the death of King Shanchang and Princess Shanchang, most of their guards were taken over by the two princesses. There were many soldiers who followed King Ruyin! Not to mention that King Ruyin was killed by the princess. Because the king of Shanchang surrendered to Gaozu, many subordinate generals were assigned to the Yecheng army. Although more than 30 years have passed, his blood is there..."
The more Nie Yuansheng said, the more angry he became. It was not until Ah Shan took the hot tea cake and came up. Then he stopped and used it with a little unhappy face. Mu Biwei personally twisted a hot handkerchief and handed it to him to intervene. When he finished using it, he rinsed his mouth with tea. Ah Shan cleaned it up and said, "So what are you going to do now?"
"On the theory, we should first call for Ji Xiao and defend ourselves." Nie Yuansheng sighed, "This is not a problem. The queen of Shanchang just hate Jiyun now. It's not a big deal to take this opportunity to knock it down. It's just that the matter of Nuchuan's decision has to be solved - now the three counties are busy working together to attack Jixuan, and Jixiao is busy impeaching - that's all, there are many things to do and take care of them for a while. No, if there is a chance in the future, I will settle the general account with them!"
Mu Biwei heard the murder under his tired tone, nodded her index finger on her lips and said faintly, "In addition to this, is there anything else that bothers you?"
Because Nie Yuansheng used something, he wiped his face again and regained his spirit slightly. Hearing the words, he was in the mood to joke: "That's you. Gao Qi just went to find me and said that you seemed to have encountered a difficult thing. Even he didn't care much about Gao Jieyu's entry into the palace... What's wrong?"
"You don't like King Anping. What's the reason?" Mu Bi slightly heard the words, and did not turn around. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "I was born and raised in Yedu. Your Majesty's reputation for value color and light morality has long been known. The king of Guangling has a sage, and the king of Gaoyang is young and has always been gentle and polite. As for the king of Anping, he spoiled his wife, I gradually learned it after I entered the palace, but I haven't heard of any bad deeds, but you are obviously dissatisfied with him for a long time. Regardless, Gao Qi is still a cousin of King Anping. Although his bloodline is not as close as the Duke of Rongchang, he is always a relative, not to mention that Princess Anping is also surnamed Gao... Well, even if Gao Qi is unhappy for his cousin, what about you? Don't tell me that you have admired Princess Anping for a long time and can't see her wronged, so you have to live with King Anping in your heart!"
Nie Yuansheng couldn't laugh or cry: "Where do you think?"
"Then why on earth do you repeatedly embarrass King Anping?" Mu Bi slightly asked.
Nie Yuansheng pondered.
Mu Biwei did not urge, but just added some tea to the tea cup in front of him, but seeing him think for a long time, Fang Youyou said, "How can you believe the rumors? It is said that Guangling Wangxian, so in your opinion, he can reach that virtuous character? Although what he said to His Majesty is actually reasonable, but if you think about it carefully, it's not because of the instigation of King Anping that it's enough for me to call this king a stupid word. As for the sage... it's also a fool! If he hadn't been the birth of Empress Dowager Gao and married the direct daughter of the Qu family, I would have killed him casually with his last advice! It even harmed his family!"
"Gao Qi told you that I was looking for him?" Mu Bi said suddenly.
Nie Yuansheng looked at her inquiringly, and Mu Bi said slowly, "You may not know the origin of that maid named Yun Mengru? I think you may have paid attention to Ye Hanxi and didn't carefully investigate Yun Mengru, but it's not surprising that this time the newcomers are more than the other. Although you are responsible for the election of the prime minister, you still have to write for your majesty and hold several positions, which is inevitable to miss..."
Listening to this, Nie Yuansheng's expression gradually became cautious: "Is this cloud dream like?"
"Her aunt's name is Yun Xianger..." Before Mu Biwei finished her words, she saw Nie Yuansheng's face suddenly change. She couldn't help but sigh and whispered!
Neo Yuansheng's face was heavy and solemn, but he slowly shook his head: "It's not what you think..."
