Accidental catastrophe is coming
That night, the files on the losses and casualties caused by the soldiers entering the palace escort from Youzhou Prefecture were collected into Si Jiu's hands. Forty Jiu ordered Chen Chuansi to write a copy and send it to Weiming Palace. The original file was submitted to the Ministry of Punishment for review. It was approved by the Chinese Book Order and finally sealed in the Hongwen Museum.
Nangong Sunv, Nangong Shunv and the last two princes are guarding in front of Nangong Rang's coffin. There are mourning servants kneeling in the courtyard. The side hall next to the mourning hall is brightly lit. Follow-up issues, such as: whether the rebellion is made public, this matter involves almost the entire garrison army, whether to pursue it; how to take effective measures to minimize the impact, and how to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future...
Chen Chuansi sent the transcript of the dossier to the Weiming Palace, where Nangong Jingnv had just had dinner with Qi Yan.
Qi Yan took the dossier and handed it to Nangong Jingnu, who called Qi Yan to come and watch it together.
This dossier is only a rough statistic, so there is not much content.
Since Mo Fei did not have an imperial decree, he led 3,000 soldiers from Youzhou Prefecture to break into the palace from outside the city. The closest road from the barracks to the palace is the largest market in the capital. There are countless stalls, and there are hundreds of people who reported that people who couldn't dodge were killed or trampled to death, not counting the injured.
After that, Mo Fei had a head-on conflict with the patrol battalion, and killed all the 30-person squad of the patrol battalion...
At the gate of the palace, he clashed with the guards guarding the gate, killing 16 guards. On the way, four palace maids and two servants were mistakenly killed. After entering Ganquan Palace, Mo Fei led the three thousand iron cavalry to attack layer by layer, and the Royal Forest Army was killed and injured. There are more than 500 people, and the specific numbers are still being counted...
Moreover, the three thousand cavalry also damaged the facilities along the way to a certain extent, stepping on the broken stone bricks, and scraping off countless tiles.
The Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Internal Affairs put forward an estimate. If the casualties of the Imperial Forest Army are ignored for the time being, the compensation and pensions of the common people are calculated at 4 taels per person and 2 taels per stall, and at least 1,000 taels of silver are needed. compensation for injured people.
The 30-person squad of the patrol battalion who died in action needed three hundred taels to receive a pension of 10 taels per person.
There were sixteen guards at the palace gate, and each person was counted as twenty taels, for a total of three hundred and twenty taels.
Palace maids and servants are slaves who have signed a life-and-death contract, let alone.
But the cost of repairing the damaged palace and pavement is at least tens of thousands of taels.
After reading a file, Nangong Jingnv and Qi Yan thought of two completely different questions.
Qi Yan frowned and pondered: "Is it the fierce soldiers of Youzhou or the poor combat effectiveness of the patrol battalion? Mo Fei only led three thousand iron cavalry, and he could drive straight in, from outside the city all the way to the depths of the forbidden palace?"
Qi Yan was very uneasy. She never thought that the defense of the capital was so weak. The palace is the residence of the emperor, and 3,000 people rushed in without a single soldier. Rebel, Nangong Jingnu is afraid that she is already dead.
Qi Yan turned to look at Nangong Jingnu, and saw that the other party was also frowning, not knowing what she was thinking.
Qi Yan's heart was extremely contradictory, and she didn't know how the soldiers of Youzhou Prefecture were better than the prairie cavalry led by Bayin.
Although the Wei Kingdom once defeated the grasslands, Anujin is a pragmatic faction. After more than ten years of rest and study, the grassland troops have mastered the weapons and formations used by the Wei Kingdom. The reason why Anujin and Bayin are late Chi didn't do it. On the one hand, he mediated in it, and on the other hand, the battle that year left a shadow on the Tuba Department and even the entire grassland.
But... the so-called fear is just a lifelike tiger lying in the human heart. Whether it is a real tiger or a paper tiger, you will know after a try. If the grassland knew that the local army of Wei State was so vulnerable, would it take advantage of the situation to raise troops and turn back on the spot
In Qi Yan's heart, the revenge of the grassland has basically been avenged, and it is only a matter of time for Nangong to let the remaining emperors die, but Qi Yan is clear: Bayin and Xiaodie don't think so, their goal is to Completely overturn the rule of the Wei State, and let the people of the Wei State have a taste of being slaves.
And... There is still Ji Ya who has been silent for several months in the palace, will she spread the news
The masked man was still hiding in the dark, waiting for the best moment to give Wei Guo a fatal blow.
On the surface, Nangong Jingnu had the advantage, and it was only a matter of time before she ascended the throne.
But Qi Yan knew that the real crisis was yet to come, and it also contained the root of the curse that was planted by herself, which was brewing, waiting for an opportunity to break out.
Qi Yan's heart was in a mess, as if a heart had been thrown into a frying pan. She was afraid that her nightmare would become a reality: Nangong Jingnu laughed and jumped into the palace that had turned into a sea of fire in front of her.
But... Qi Yan, as an orphan from the grassland, the contemporary king of Khan who supports the plow department, does not allow her to do anything that turns her back on the grassland.
Qi Yan opened his mouth, but didn't say a word.
Nangong Jingnu recovered from her thoughts, sighed softly, and said leisurely: "Why is it also a pension for casualties, the lives of the common people are worth four taels, but the people in the patrol camp are worth ten taels, the guards of the palace are worth twenty taels, and the palace guards are worth twenty taels. Is the maid worth nothing?"
Qi Yan was stunned. She didn't expect Nangong Jingnu to be silent for so long, but she was thinking about this issue.
Qi Yan's heart became more and more unpleasant, and she and Nangong Jingnv had a different focus. It was not that Nangong Jingnv was not smart enough to think of this level, but Nangong Jingnv's heart was filled with the people of the people and the world, and her own. There is a conspiracy in mind.
Qi Yan looked at Nangong Jingnv, but her eyes gradually lost focus. They had walked hand in hand for a while, but now Nangong Jingnv broke into a butterfly and bathed in the sun, while herself... can only stay in the shadows forever.
Nangong Jingnu: "Qi Yan?"
Qi Yan: "Huh?"
Nangong Jingnu: "What about you~?"
Qi Yan sighed softly: "In this world... it is divided into three, six, nine, and nine levels. The court's pensions also follow this standard. The people's pensions are calculated according to the taxes they pay in a year, and the soldiers are paid according to their salaries." After finishing this sentence, Qi Yan's eyes were a little sad, but unfortunately Nangong Jingnu didn't notice it.
Nangong Jingnv: "Forget it, this time the pension will be based on the standard given by the Ministry of Housing for the time being, and it will be made up later..."
Qi Yan rolled up the scroll on the table and threw it into the brazier aside: "Don't keep this thing, Your Highness, it's not something the princess can see."
Nangong Jingnu: "It's getting late, you should rest early. I'll go to Ganquan Palace to accompany my father."
Qi Yan: "I'll go with His Royal Highness."
Nangong Jingnu showed pity and took Qi Yan's hand to discuss gently: "It's getting dark, so inconvenient for you. And you've worked hard today, so you can rest well. You can come back tomorrow morning, okay?"
Qi Yan had no choice but to nod and send Nangong Jingnu to the door of the dormitory, watching her disappear into the night under the escort of Youzhou Prefecture soldiers.
…
Nangong Jingnu had just left before the door of the bedroom was knocked again.
Qi Yuxiao was frightened during the day, and had a nightmare at night, crying and arguing to find Qi Yan, but the palace maid brought Qi Yuxiao over with no other way.
Qi Yuxiao threw herself into Qi Yan's arms, with tears in the corners of her eyes, she called out, "Father."
The palace maid gave a thousand blessings and accused her: "My concubine, the county master has had a nightmare, and the servants can't be coaxed..." The palace maid said and looked around, but did not find Nangong Jingnu's figure, embarrassed He said: "Otherwise, the slave servants should take the county master back first, so as not to disturb the concubine's rest."
The Wei Kingdom pays attention to the defense of men and women, and even fathers and daughters should avoid it.
But Qi Yuxiao didn't understand, she saw that she put her arms around Qi Yan's neck and didn't let go: "I won't leave, I want my father to accompany me."
Qi Yan patted Qi Yuxiao's back and said softly, "Don't leave, Daddy is here."
Qi Yuxiao obediently said "um" and stopped making trouble, but a pair of small arms still tightly hugged Qi Yan's neck and did not let go.
Qi Yan turned to the palace maid and said: "Your Highness has gone to Ganquan Palace, Yuxiao was frightened today, at this very time, the main hall is always safer than the side hall, let Yuxiao stay tonight, you Just stay in the front room, and Yuxiao will call you in the evening if there is anything."
Maid: "Yes."
Qi Yan put Qi Yuxiao on the bed, pulled another quilt over her body, hugged her through the quilt and patted her gently: "Go to sleep, Dad is here."
…
Nangong Jingnu only knew when she arrived at Ganquan Palace that another major event had happened.
Nangongda's body had already been carried away, but a body covered with a white cloth was parked in the yard.
Nangong Jingnu: "This is...?"
Nangong Sunu's face was a little ugly, she pulled Nangong Jingnu aside and said in a low voice, "I just found it, when Lord Lu was out of the palace, he encountered the imperial army and died in battle. The deputy general Liu Ziyu was also seriously injured, and the imperial doctors are urgently treating them. , probably also…”
Nangong Jingnu was shocked: "What did you say?"
Nangong Sunu: "It's messed up, it's all messed up."
No one expected Lu Zhongxing's death, and Nangong Jingnu's scalp was numb.
In Nangong Jingnv's memory, Lu Zhongxing's skills were excellent. He used to be his personal bodyguard, and he was brave enough to be one of ten.
Nangong Jingnv turned her head and looked over. There was a small bag bulging in the middle of the white cloth. It was Lu Zhongxing's belly. She came to Lu Zhongxing's body and lifted a corner of the white cloth with her own hands. When she saw the person below, Nangong Jing The woman took a deep breath.
Lu Zhongxing was slashed in the face, with a ferocious knife edge on his face, the flesh turned out, the wound turned white, and even his face was deformed.
Nangong Jingnv tried hard to identify it, but she couldn't match the figure in her memory. Nangong Jingnv was a little dazed... It turned out that they had all grown up, and Lu Zhongxing was no longer the high-spirited teenager he used to be.
Nangong Jingnu's heart is a little heavy, not only because she and Lu Zhongxing have grown up together since childhood, but more importantly: when Lu Zhongxing, who was the prefect, died, the military attache group had no leader. Before, their sisters managed to persuade Lu Zhongxing to work together. Resisting Nangong Da, with his death, this powerful pillar collapsed suddenly, and our own faction no longer has a bridge to communicate with the military attache group...
Without Lu Zhongxing, the captain, if the military attache group does not approve of the female emperor's enthronement, then... the entire Wei Kingdom will usher in an unprecedented catastrophe!
