If you drink water, you know it's cold or warm
Royal Doctor Wang: "Your Majesty, the ministers have diagnosed that Ogong is suffering from a relapse of water disease in his body. This disease has been stagnant for a long time, and this time it's coming fiercely, I'm afraid..."
Nangong Jingnu was stunned for a moment, her face was even paler than before, her raised hand suddenly stopped in mid-air to grab the imperial doctor's arm, she was no longer the princess who could show weakness in the past, but she was trembling. The voice is not deceiving.
Nangong Jingnv "Save her, I... If you want her to live, no matter what means you use, you can ask for any medicine you need."
Wang Yuyi: "Your Majesty misunderstood, it is not difficult to wake up the palace with the old minister's medical skills and the medicinal materials collected by the imperial hospital, but... water belongs to cold, lungs belong to metal. Gold produces water... endless life, all lung diseases are in the , the fire disease is the most harmful, and the water disease is the most difficult to deal with.”
Nangong Jingnu: "What will happen?"
Wang Yuyi had a look of embarrassment on his face, and said cautiously: "Yi old minister... The old minister dared to say, even if Da Gong can be rescued, I am afraid that I will always need decoction and medicine for the rest of my life, and it will also need tonic and conditioning from time to time. After a long time, there is no cure." Speaking of which, Royal Doctor Wang sighed, although he doubted Qi Yan's identity, but the parents of the doctors thought that if Qi Yan's water disease had been treated earlier, why would it be possible to treat it carefully?
In the past, Qi Yan's responsible medical officer was always Ding You. Later, Wang Yuyi also specially looked at Qi Yan's past pulse cases and found that Ding You secretly prescribed some medicines to restrain water disease. The prescription was very clever. Those who don't know the symptoms of the prescription can't see any clues at all. It can be seen that Ding You put a lot of thought into it.
But the problem is that the medicinal properties of these herbs are not strong, they can only play the role of restraint and delay, and they are only maintaining the status quo after so many years...
But Royal Doctor Wang did not dare to mention these words to Nangong Jingnu, otherwise it would be the responsibility of the Royal Hospital.
He could only blame himself secretly. If he had prescribed the right medicine earlier, the situation might not have been so serious.
Nangong Jingnu breathed a sigh of relief, her complexion was light, although she was distressed, at least Qi Yan's life was safe, the treasures of heaven and earth, what are the delicacies of mountains and seas? Couldn't the big Wei Kingdom be able to raise a Qi Yan?
Nangong Jingnu asked worriedly: "This disease... will it affect her life expectancy?"
Wang Yuyi stroked his beard: "With the medical skills of the old minister... and the special care of the palace, it is not difficult to enjoy an ordinary life, just..."
Nangong Jingnv's bright heart was sunk again by the "but" at the end. She frowned slightly, and her tone was slightly sullen: "Speak everything once, don't procrastinate."
Wang Yuyi: "Yes, yes. It's just... Even if you are very careful, there is still a possibility of recurrence of this water disease, and just the minister also said... Yin and Yang and the five elements are mutually reinforcing, and Jin produces water, which is endless. Therefore, in the days to come, Water disease will afflict Ogong from time to time, with coughing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and dizziness the most common. The yin and yang qi in the human body all rely on this breath and one breath to circulate around the sky, and breathing is not smooth... There will be other problems, the mind will It's not as clear as it used to be, it will become forgetful, and in terms of literary talent... slowly it will not be as good as it used to be."
Nangong Jingnu reacted for a while and said angrily, "You mean this water disease may affect Yuanjun's mind?"
Seeing Royal Doctor Wang nod, Nangong Jing's heart was twisted like a knife, and even her breathing was no longer smooth.
She turned to look at Qi Yan, who was sleeping soundly on the bed. This person would definitely not be able to accept such a result. Looking at the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, even the previous dynasties are counted.
She was originally an alien. She only learned to speak and write when she was eight years old. She wanted to know how much effort and sweat she had put in to achieve today's achievements. The fallen water disease, and now she has to seize the talent she is most proud of, how can Qi Yan let go of this?
Nangong Jingnv couldn't help recalling the past bits and pieces with Qi Yan, and all that flashed in her mind were her dazzling appearance as a genius.
Could it be that these... will all be gone?
Nangong Jingnv doesn't care whether Qi Yan's style is still the same, even if she becomes stupid since then, she will never dislike it again, this life and this life...
Thinking of this, Nangong Jingnu's heart jumped again, this person... is a woman!
What are you thinking about? This person is obviously a woman, how did the two women come to this life...
On the other hand, Nangong Jingnu thought of her second sister again, thinking that she said that Xiaodie had a happy look with a light in her eyes and a smile on her lips, and she fell silent.
Nangong Jingnu stared at Qi Yan intently, not even hearing the voice of Royal Doctor Wang telling him to withdraw from the decoction.
She is still her, the same eyebrows, the same body shape, the same outline, the old scar on the left cheek has faded a lot, and she is still the same handsome.
She was very peaceful when she was sleeping, revealing a softness that a man did not have.
It turned out... She has always been her, and it was herself who was clumsy.
Nangong Jingnv looked at Qi Yan's chest again. She had seen the scald on her chest. It was the flat chest that completely deceived her. Nangong Jingnv's heart skipped a beat. She remembered what Qi Yan said: In order to restrain women The characteristics of her have taken a strange poison, and then she asked, "Apart from this water disease, is there any other problem with her body?"
There was no answer, it turned out that Royal Doctor Wang was no longer in the hall.
Nangong Jingnu thought for a while: This matter is related to Qi Yan's identity. It is better not to let the people in the inner court find out the clues. When the situation in Huainan is calmed down, she will release an imperial list and find a high-ranking person for Qi Yan among the people. Before entering the palace for conditioning, first treat the water disease well.
I don't know how long Qi Yan had slept before. After Nangong Jingnu found out, she slept for two days and two nights. The battle reports from Huainan came one after another.
Xing Jingfu discussed the situation of the treasury and considered that if the imperial court was unable to go to war, Her Majesty the Empress should issue a guilt edict as soon as possible to appease the mob, reduce the loss of the people, and prevent the mob from further expansion. .
All the excerpts asked Nangong Jingnu to take all the photos, but kept silent. For the past two days, Nangong Jing Nuyi took care of Qi Yan inexplicably, and ordered someone to carry all the imperial cases from the imperial study to the Chengchao Palace, and put them in the main hall to handle the affairs of the court.
But two days later, Huainan's battle report was not very optimistic. Huainan was about ten days away from here. The actual situation may be worse than the report.
But Nangong Jingnv's heart was full of strength, and she was very resistant to promulgating the edict of guilt. Xing Jingfu saw through Nangong Jingnv's mind, and took the initiative to enter the palace to face the saint, persuading and explaining: The superior should have the bearing of the world and be patient. The world cannot bear the burdens that the world cannot bear. The old minister knew that His Majesty worked hard to govern and love the people, but...
After Nangong Jingnu heard what Xing Jingfu said, her heart became more and more bitter. Is it really because he is a woman, he is not tolerant enough?
Nangong Jingnu didn't reply to Xing Jingfu. She wanted to wait for Qi Yan to wake up and listen to the other party's opinion. If Qi Yan also meant the same thing, then...the grievance would be accepted by herself.
In the early morning of the third day, Nangong Jingnu was woken up. Last night was another overnight. She fell asleep on the desk when it was almost dawn. She frowned and looked at the beaming maid: "What's the matter?"
The maid knelt down to the ground: "Your Majesty, Ogong is awake!"
Nangong Jingnu suddenly stood up, rushed out of the main hall and went straight to the bedroom, even forgetting to cover the yellow silk. Fortunately, the newly-appointed chief of the housekeeper was already able to take care of things, and he closed the door of the palace and stood guard at the door, not allowing anyone to enter.
Nangong Jingnv carried the long imperial skirt, and the maid who was holding a screen fan trotted along with her. Nangong Jingnv rushed into the bedroom: "Yuanjun!"
Qi Yan leaned against the cushion at the head of the bed with a sick face, and saw Nangong Jingnu's amber eyes flashing in, and pulled out a pale smile: "Your Majesty."
Seeing that Qi Yan actually lifted the quilt and wanted to get out of bed, Nangong Jingnu hurried to the bed, and said angrily and distressed: "Don't get up! What's wrong with being so polite?" And helpless, can't hear the slightest blame at all.
Qi Yan stopped lifting the quilt: "Yes."
After a long silence, Qi Yan spoke first.
Qi Yan: "Did something happen in the court?"
Nangong Jingnu's eyes showed surprise, and then she frowned: "But the palace and you are chewing your tongue?" The harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, and no palace servants except Qi Yan were allowed to arbitrarily discuss political affairs.
Qi Yan felt suffocated and sighed: "Your Majesty is thin and haggard."
Hearing this, the grievances in Nangong Jingnu's heart came out inexplicably, she nodded and said without reservation: "The war broke out in Huainan, and the mob set up a 'Zhengan Army' in the latest report received yesterday. It is said that the mob has already occupied three cities, and the team is growing. At present, Huainan Jiedushi is leading troops to suppress, but because he has not received a clear order from the court, he has not launched an offensive. Although Huainan is warmer than the capital in winter, it is still grass and trees. The withering march is difficult. Moreover, most of these mobs are local people. They occupy the mountains as kings, they are familiar with the terrain, and there are many relatives in the city. They can receive news as soon as there is trouble, so several suppressions have achieved little effect. There are many soldiers, but the mob occupies the land. If the war starts, it will be a tug-of-war. Once the army starts, the war will be won. Otherwise, the power of heaven will be lost. Even smashing the pot and selling iron can barely maintain the expenses for three months, so…”
Qi Yan naturally took over the conversation and said slowly, "So, did those old ministers petition His Majesty to issue an edict to appease the mob?"
Nangong Jingnv was not only not surprised by what Qi Yan said, but she had some fluke expectations in her heart: maybe... the imperial doctor's words were too serious, isn't this person a good person?
Nangong Jingnu nodded.
Qi Yan: "What do you mean by Your Majesty?"
Nangong Jingnv didn't want to interfere with Qi Yan's judgment, so she said, "I want to hear from you first."
Qi Yan: "My minister means... This crime cannot be convicted."
Nangong Jing was in love for a while, the haze in her heart was swept away, and she asked, "Why?"
The sudden announcement from outside the hall interrupted the conversation between the two: "Your Majesty, the time for the morning has come."
Nangong Jingnu: "Autumn..." just a word, and it stopped abruptly. Nangong Jingnv originally wanted Qiu Ju to pass the order not to go to the early court today, but Zuo was just those old ministers who made themselves guilty.
A word "autumn" broke the rare warmth and made the atmosphere fall into silence.
Nangong Jingnu said nothing, and neither did Qi Yan.
It has been a while since Qi Yan sent Qiu Ju, Chen Chuansi and Xia He away, and they tacitly did not mention it again, but Qiu Ju has followed Nangong Jingnu for many years, and this sense of existence cannot be erased in a short time.
Qi Yan stubbornly didn't tell Nangong Jingnv the truth. On the one hand, she didn't want to expose Sifang Qianzhuang, on the other hand, she knew that Nangong Jingnv was soft-hearted, and knew that these people would definitely find them back when they were still alive, and they would be in danger again.
So this matter gradually became a thorn between the two, an invisible and intangible thorn, which would hurt as long as it was accidentally touched.
Qi Yan: "Your Majesty, let's go to the morning court first. Right now is the time of war. If your Majesty is absent from the court for no reason, it should come true."
Nangong Jingnv didn't look too far: "Well, drink the medicine first, and you don't have to wait for me to have breakfast. They will prepare it for me, and I will be back in the morning."
Qi Yan: "Yeah."
…
After Nangong Jingnu left, Qi Yan pressed her temple, and there was a throbbing tingling sensation inside. I don't know if it was because I had slept for too long. When I woke up this time, my mind was not clear, and the base of my tongue was a little hard.
Sure enough, as expected by Nangong Jingnv, the six Shangshu and Zhongshu decrees at the court meeting once again asked Nangong Jingnv to issue an edict of guilt. After the court meeting was hurriedly ended, Nangong Jingnv returned directly to Qi Yan, only to see that Qi Yan was still maintaining herself. Leaving position - leaning on the cushion at the head of the bed, just asleep.
Nangong Jingnu pursed her lips, sat on the edge of the bed and gently pushed Qi Yan: "Yuanjun?"
Qi Yan opened her eyes, saw the person in front of her and turned to look at the sky outside the window: "Your Majesty came back early? Why did I fall asleep again?"
Nangong Jingnu forced herself to calm down and explained, "The imperial doctor said that the decoction contains sleeping ingredients, and there is also drowsiness."
Qi Yan sighed again unconsciously, and sat up straight: "I think that there are two reasons why Your Majesty cannot issue an edict of guilt. If you can't appease them, it will be the reason for them to recruit troops and buy horses to strengthen themselves. Second, although Your Majesty is an empress, she is a woman after all. In this world where patriarchy has been respected since ancient times... All wrongs done in life will be infinitely punished. Zoom in." Having said that, Qi Yan let out a long sigh and said leisurely: "Although Your Majesty's foundation is gradually firming up, there are still many men in this world, or scholars, or warriors, or merchants and pawns, and common people. It is a shame to be pressed on the head by a woman. This mob incident can also prove one or two. This is why people are unpredictable, repeated and sinister. Just like the so-called defense of the people, even the prevention of Yuchuan is also this. The truth. All the mouths are full of gold, and a single word can destroy a person. This world is extremely tolerant to men, but it is inexplicably harsh to women. If your majesty issues a decree of sin, it may be eternal. If it is reversed, the outcome will also be reversed. Therefore, this crime cannot be promulgated.”
Nangong Jingnu listened to it as if she was enlightened. In addition to her grievances, she had always had a vague worry in her heart.
Nangong Jingnu asked again: "Since this road is not feasible, how should the court quell the rebellion? It is definitely impossible to sit back and ignore it."
Qi Yan raised her hand to hold her forehead, and pressed her temple with her long fingers. After a long time, she said, "I have thought of a plan... It's just that the method is a bit cruel. Would your Majesty wish it?"
Nangong Jingnu was silent for a moment, then nodded.
…
Qi Yan gave Nangong Jingnv a plan, which was a bit cruel as she said, but it was definitely a miracle.
In fact, it rarely snows in Huainan. Winter is the driest season in Huainan. Qi Yan asked Nangong Jingnu to pass a secret edict to Huainan, find a windy night and arrange an appointment to send someone to fire the mountain at the same time. Set up a beheading force composed of local soldiers, in order to make great profits and ensure the safety of their family members and clansmen, order this force to lurk in the city occupied by the mob on the same night, and carry out beheading operations on the enemy generals.
At the same time, soldiers with a local accent disguised as a mob burned by the fire and gathered under the occupied city for help.
After entering the city, they ordered these soldiers to secretly spread the fires of the sky, and the wrath of the sky was punished by the gods.
Having said that, Qi Yan lowered her eyes and pouted the corners of her mouth. There was a trace of gloomy sadness in her eyes. She had used the tactic of God's Wrath and God's Punishment and more fires on her body...
Now that the treasury is empty, it has something to do with the reconstruction of the Weiming Palace, which is now the Chengchao Palace... Nangong Jingnu gave her the best palace in the inner court, but she does not know that this is another kind of torture for Qiyan. She opens it every day. When you look at this palace, you can think of everything you have done in the past.
The stunned look in Nangong Jingnv's eyes was fleeting, and it was true that such a method was indeed disgraceful in her opinion, but Nangong Jingnv had to admit that it was a clever trick.
How many generals in this world regard "Sun Tzu's Art of War" as a golden rule, and they have memorized it by heart and forget it completely in actual combat. "Sun Tzu's Art of War: Conspiracy and Attack" has a saying: "The first soldier is to attack the strategy, and then the enemy is attacked, and then the attack is made. Soldiers, their subordinates attack the city; the method of attacking a city is a last resort.”
In short, the highest state of Shangbing is: subduing soldiers without fighting.
In the past, important officials in the court, including the Huainan Jiedu envoy, believed that the court should recover the lost city as soon as possible, which is also what Sun Tzu said: the last resort.
Qi Yan clenched her fist against her lips and coughed a few times. Nangong Jingnu asked with concern, "Is something uncomfortable? Would you like me to come over and take a look at the imperial doctor."
Qi Yan: "It doesn't matter, it's just that my throat is a little itchy. I haven't finished speaking yet. This is only half of the plan."
Nangong Jingnu got up and poured a glass of water for Qi Yan, watching her drink it before saying, "Keep talking."
Qi Yan: "What I said above is just the preparation stage. The most important link is 'down'. How to bring this group of mobs back to their homes is the top priority."
Nangong Jingnu sighed softly: "How do I know that the wealthy and prosperous in Huainan are also the granary of Dawei, and the instability of Huainan's imperial court is also shaken. I have thought of a few methods before, the most direct and effective way is lure, but now the imperial treasury is empty. And the three-year amnesty hasn't passed yet, isn't it still the opposite?"
Qi Yan: "Many of these mob are innocent peasant households. Your Majesty's amnesty will not benefit them much, but this time is different. When the mountain is set on fire, the mob will inevitably panic. Your Majesty can send one A well-weighted person took the big letter written by His Majesty to Huainan, hung the big letter on the city wall, and sent someone to handwrite some of His Majesty's private seal and put it ten feet away from the city. When you ask for it, you don't need to write too complicated content on it, just write 'With this book, let's forget it'."
Nangong Jingnu asked, "Then what if they don't come to get it?"
Qi Yan smiled slightly, with a hint of pampering and tenderness in her eyes, and explained patiently: "If they don't come to get it, we will send someone to get it. For the first time, don't put too many outside the city. Fifty copies is enough. An additional batch will be issued on the tenth day, each time the number is not fixed but not too large, and it should be appropriately reduced. In addition... Didn't Your Majesty say that most of the mobs are local people? Then distribute some in the city, so that the people in the city can donate to the wrong people. The relatives and friends who have gone astray, of course, have to make it clear that this official prophecy is only limited to one month, and if the mob has not subsided after one month, otherwise the army will open to all the participants and be punished as treason, which will bring disaster to the family.”
After listening to Nangong Jingnu, she thought for a while: "You rest first, and I will discuss with the Six Books."
Qi Yan grabbed Nangong Jingnu's hand: "Don't worry, Your Majesty."
Nangong Jingnu's heart jumped abruptly twice, and Qi Yan seemed to have thought of something and retracted her hand silently.
This was the first "close contact" between the two after Nangong Jingnu learned of Qi Yan's female identity, although it was only for a moment.
Nangong Jingnu suppressed the strangeness in her heart: "What else?"
Qi Yan: "Your Majesty, it's very important to be careful with this plan. If it is too light, it may backfire. Not only will it fail to appease the mob, but it will also destroy the majesty of the court and His Majesty. The court will fight to the end, and this person... not only must be absolutely loyal to His Majesty, but also have a certain weight... "
Nangong Jingnu: "How about Gongyanghuai?"
Qi Yan: "Baishi is naturally good, but the military talisman of the Taiwei is too oppressive for the mob, and at this juncture, Baishi should stay in the capital to help defend His Majesty, and it is not appropriate to leave the capital."
Nangong Jingnu heard Qi Yan's invitation, and immediately objected: "No, your current physical condition is not suitable for traveling far. It's cold outside and Huainan is far away, so you can't stand this toss."
Qi Yan looked at Nangong Jingnv, her lips moved, and it took a long time before she uttered a few words softly: "I just want to do something for Your Majesty." This sentence was very calm, but Nangong Jingnv inexplicably heard a sense of farewell. , her eyes turned red uncontrollably, Nangong Jingnu closed her eyes, but replied firmly: "If I say no, I can't! I'll go first... I'll see you later."
Qi Yan didn't say anything, just watched Nangong Jingnv's back until it disappeared. Not long after Nangong Jingnv left, Qi Yan fell asleep again, and woke up again Nangong Jingnv appeared beside Qi Yan's bed again.
The light in the hall was very dim, and only a few oil lamps were on. The dim halo made Nangong Jingnu's expression a little blurry. Qi Yan was in a trance for a while and asked, "Your Majesty? What time is it?"
Nangong Jingnu tucked the quilt for Qi Yan, raised her hand and touched her forehead: "It's almost time, the imperial doctor said that your body is weak, and the medicine has added sleeping medicine."
After Nangong Jingnu finished speaking, she lowered her eyes and stared at a certain point on the quilt.
Qi Yan's clever plan was supported by the six ministers, the middle book, and the Taiwei, but before the specific candidates were discussed, the people from the imperial hospital rushed to report: Ogong was in a coma.
Nangong Jingnv immediately ended the discussion and hurried over. Qi Yan had just woken up for only a day when she fell into a faint again.
Nangong Jingnu was very angry, and the people in the Royal Hospital were walking on thin ice, and Royal Doctor Wang even used his own head as a guarantee that there was absolutely no problem with his prescription.
In order to show his innocence, Wang Yuyi also ate Qi Yan with the remaining medicinal dregs, and nothing happened two hours later.
Nangong Jingnu panicked, and stayed by Qi Yan's bedside, occasionally sticking her fingers under Qi Yan's breath to probe.
With the power of the Royal Hospital, all the methods have been used, including acupuncture points... Qi Yan is not a sign of waking up, Nangong Jingnu once again felt her incompetence, even if you are an empress, you can only look forward to it, Waiting in vain, there is no other way.
Fortunately, Qi Yan didn't sleep for a long time this time, and woke up after only a few hours. After waking up, she didn't feel any discomfort, but Nangong Jingnu knew that this did not mean that Qi Yan's body was safe, if it was just a normal sleep. It is impossible not to wake up even acupuncture points.
What makes Nangong Jingnu most desperate is that, except for water disease, the imperial hospital cannot diagnose Qi Yan's other diseases.
Nangong Jingnu raised her hand to straighten Qi Yan's broken hair on her forehead, and said softly, "I have replaced you with a new group of people from the new palace and placed them in the palace. You can't do without a caring person to serve you. I'm busy today. After a day, go back to rest first, just say whatever you need, if you are thirsty and hungry, ask the palace servants to serve you, okay?"
Qi Yan: "Yeah."
Nangong Jingnu forced the wetness in her eyes back: "Then I'll go back first?"
Qi Yan: "Your Majesty, wait!"
Nangong Jingnu: "Huh?"
Qi Yan: "What was the result of the consultation? What did the courtiers say...?"
Nangong Jingnv: "Don't worry, they all think your plan is feasible, and I will do it tomorrow."
Qi Yan: "What about the candidate? Has it been decided?"
Nangong Jingnu: "It's still under discussion. If you think Gongyanghuai is not suitable, I can ask Zhongshuling to go there in person. Zhongshuling is an extremely high-ranking official and a civil official, so it always meets your requirements, right?"
Qi Yan thought for a while and replied, "If Lord Zhongshuling is willing to go through this, that's fine."
Nangong Jingnu: "Have a good rest."
…
The moment Nangong Jingnu turned around, tears fell silently, she straightened her waist and raised her chin slightly, and left the bedroom.
After leaving the dormitory, a gust of wind blew, and the clothes on Nangong Jingnu's body were instantly pierced, and her cheeks hurt like a knife.
Nangong Jingnu was followed by a solemn guard of honor. She walked alone at the front of the team, silently shedding tears.
On this lonely and cold night, Nangong Jingnu walked alone on the palace road, with a biting chill and endless sadness.
Between her and Qi Yan... I haven't had time to sort it out, I haven't had time to sit down and have a good talk.
Why?
Nangong Jingnv returned to the imperial study room to discuss with all the adults, and left the Zhongshu Ling Xing Jingfu alone, and analyzed the key points of Qi Yan's strategy to Xing Jingfu. The latter sighed after hearing it. Murder is just that.
Most of the farmers rely on the sky for their food, and they are particularly awe-inspiring to the myth of strange powers and chaos.
Nangong Jingnv: "The New Year is approaching, it is reasonable to say that you should not go there in person, but at the time of this crisis in the imperial court, as Yuanjun said, the operation of this matter cannot be deviated by half, so I must This matter is entrusted to a person who is extremely capable and absolutely trustworthy."
Xing Jingfu: "Old minister understands, please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
Nangong Jingnv: "Go back and pack your bags, and set off with my official letter in three days, and I will see you off in person."
Xing Jingfu lifted the hem of his official robe and knelt to the ground: "My minister obeys the order!"
…
Nangong Jingnu wrote a letter overnight and asked the Ministry of Industry to engrave it on the slate. She thought that she could finally spend a few days free to accompany Qi Yan, and then ordered someone to go to the people to find famous doctors to see Qi Yan.
But... by coincidence it is not a book.
On the eve of Xing Jingfu's preparation to go to Huainan, Xing Jingfu's old mother Gaotang passed away, and the old lady's body was already cold when she was found.
According to the laws of the Wei Kingdom, Zuntang should observe filial piety for three years when he dies, which is also called "Ding You". Those who are in the court must resign from official positions, those who are engaged in business cannot go out of the market, and even farmers can no longer farm the land, especially the eldest son. Obey, some famous families have to follow their eldest grandson to keep filial piety for a year.
In the past three years, Ding You will build a grass hut beside the grave to live alone, wear mulberry, eat cold food, and make sacrifices every day.
The whole country of Wei believes in Confucianism, attaches great importance to filial piety, and Xing Jingfu is a literati.
The news reported that in the palace, Nangong Jingnu was silent for a long time, relieved Xing Jingfu of the responsibility of going to Huainan, and allowed her to resign for three years, and then be hired after three years. In the government, the mother of Xing Jingfu was given the title of Mrs. Gao Ming.
The left and right servants shoot the same position in the book, waiting for the Holy Order. But another, more imminent matter is in front of us: the censor's group is about to go to Huainan, and the position of chief is vacant again.
Nangong Jingnv has made a complete trouble this time. Although Nangong Jingnv has vigorously cultivated a group of young loyalists since her ascension to the throne, most of them are not capable of taking on this great responsibility.
Of these old officials left over from the previous dynasty, only Xing Jingfu, a Nangong Jingnv, can be trusted enough, and the rest are either too old to travel far, or too conservative in their behavior, or suspected of being connected to the previous dynasty.
Gongyanghuai is a good candidate, but as Qi Yan said, his half-armed talisman is too coercive for the mob.
Nangong Jingnv thought about it, and wanted Qin De, who was from Jinzhou, the minister of military affairs, to be on top. Qin De was Qi Yan's disciple and an official who was promoted by Qi Yan.
The idea was certain. Nangong Jingnv came to Chengchao Palace to ask Qi Yan's opinion, or if she had any instructions.
When I came to Chengchao Palace, I was told by the maid that the concubine Yagui came to visit an hour ago.
Nangong Jingnv was stunned at first: what is she doing here.
Immediately after that, I remembered the "relationship" between Ji Ya and Qiyan Agula in the past - Qi Yan once said that Nagus Erri and Zeng wanted to marry Ji Ya to Qiyan Agula as his wife...
Nangong Jingnu had a strange feeling in her heart, and when she heard that Ji Ya had been in the dormitory for almost an hour, her pace quickened a lot.
With a "squeak", Nangong Jingnv pushed open the door of the bedroom, and the screen blocked Nangong Jingnv's sight.
Ji Yajiao's voice came from behind the screen: "Who?"
Nangong Jingnu walked over quickly and saw that Qi Yan was leaning against the bed in only a snow-white t-shirt, with an empty medicine bowl on the small table next to it, while Jiya sat on the edge of the bed without any hesitation. !
Nangong Jingnu said with a cold face, "What are you doing here?"
Ji Ya smiled sweetly, her beauty was beyond measure: "I heard that Yuanjun is ill, so I came to visit." She said and smiled and looked at Qi Yan.
Qi Yan hooked the corner of his mouth, noncommittal.
Nangong Jingnu saw Qi Yan's smile, and the flames in her heart burst into flames. Her heart suddenly became clear: Yes, Jiya must have discovered Qi Yan's identity early in the morning, and she has not said that she must have a secret for so many years!
Nangong Jingnu said coldly, "Have you seen it now?"
Jiya: "Well, I see."
Nangong Jingnu: "No."
Ji Ya was not annoyed, she put her finger to her lips, giggled for a while, got up and left.
When the sound of closing the door came, Nangong Jingnu's tense body relaxed, looked at Qi Yan for a while, and sighed, "How do you feel today?"
Nangong Jingnv's reaction Qi Yan only guessed half of it. She guessed Nangong Jingnv's attitude towards Ji Ya, but she didn't guess the ending.
She thought that Nangong Jingnu would ask her why Ji Ya came, but she didn't expect that she would not mention a word.
Qi Yan: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, I feel much better, thanks to the company of the elegant concubine."
Nangong Jingnu's eyebrows twitched, and at this moment she looked at her in astonishment as if she didn't know Qi Yan anymore.
The word "accompany" makes Nangong Jingnu's heart sour. When will it be her husband's turn to accompany others?
When the words came to her lips, Nangong Jingnu swallowed hard again. She thought of Qi Yan's sleepless appearance, and looked at her sick face, she couldn't bear to be blamed.
Qi Yan: "Your Majesty... are things going well?"
Nangong Jingnu sighed and wanted to sit on the bed, but when she thought that Ji Ya was sitting there just now, she couldn't sit down, so she moved a round stool and sat beside Qi Yan: "Old Madam Xing passed away last night, Xing Jingfu is entrusting her today. On the book, please resign from the post of Zhongshuling, Ding You for three years. I have already approved."
Qi Yan didn't say anything, and Nangong Jingnu said again, "Huinan's post is vacant. I want Qin De to take over. What do you think?"
Qi Yan bent her slender fingers and replied, "Qin De... his ability is enough. But he is from a poor family, so I'm afraid he will be soft-hearted. If the foreshadowing is not ruthless enough to prevent those mobs from trying the methods of the imperial court, I'm afraid I won't surrender willingly. The minister's plans are interlinked, and no step can go wrong. We must drive the mob to a dead end and throw a glimmer of hope in order to achieve the most perfect effect."
Nangong Jingnu frowned slightly, thinking about who else could entrust her.
Qi Yan said slowly again: "The wildfire can't be burnt out, and the spring breeze is blowing again. This group of mobs has a clear purpose and a devious way, and there must be someone secretly supporting it. Tricks won't work. Your Majesty..."
Nangong Jingnu: "Stop talking!"
Qi Yan: "Your Majesty!"
Nangong Jingnu: "I don't believe that the big court can't find a replacement. In short, I won't allow you to go!"
Seeing that Nangong Jingnu wanted to leave, Qi Yan added another sentence: "Your Majesty, I have been very depressed these days. I wonder if I can let Ji Ya come over from time to time?"
Nangong Jingnu's face changed with anger, her chest heaved, and she fled away.
Qi Yan looked at Nangong Jingnu's back with a wry smile.
Today, Ji Ya found Qi Yan: she received a handwritten letter from Nagus Anujin, saying that Gu Qibain heard that Qi Yan's identity was exposed, and was going to raise troops to rescue Luochuan when it was frozen. Ji Ya's son asked Ji Ya to be the inner responder.
Ji Yasi thought about it, although the Wei Kingdom's court was in danger, but Nangong Jingnu's ability exceeded everyone's expectations. Now the court situation is gradually stabilized, and Luobei is thousands of miles away from the capital. Even if it can reach the capital, it will take at least one A year and a half later, although the Wei Kingdom also took advantage of Luochuan's freezing to subvert the grasslands, it was only because Nangong asked Nangong to build up an army on the Luochuan side in advance, and only when the grasslands flattened the river could they succeed.
Wei Kingdom is different from the grasslands. There are many cities and garrisoned troops everywhere. It is not easy to reach the capital. Once both sides dislike the war, Ji Ya knows that she will be killed and sacrificed to the flag.
So she came to find Qi Yan. If Qi Yan could help her return to Luobei, she was willing to try her best to persuade Gu Qibayin and Anujin to avoid this war.
After hearing this, Qi Yan was stunned. After thinking for a while, she knew that this must be the revenge of the masked person, but Qi Yan understood the personality of her own Anda. After a month or two, Luo Chuan would freeze. In order to save himself, Bayin will definitely kill him!
Right now the treasury is empty, and a large-scale rebel army has appeared in Huainan. If Luobei also rebels, the court will be in danger. If the masked people are waiting for the opportunity...
Qi Yan also thought about asking Qiantong or someone from Sifang Qianzhuang to send a letter to Bayin to tell him that he was fine.
But after thinking for a while, he knew that it would not work. Anujin had already had his heart against it, otherwise he would not have included Bayin, the enemy who killed his father. Didn't he like Bayin's inappropriate bravery?
The people from Qiantong and Sifang Qianzhuang didn’t understand the Prairie dialect, and they couldn’t pretend to be different from the Prairie people. Only Jiya could reach Luobei safely and bring his message to Bayin!
Qi Yan immediately reached an agreement with Ji Ya, she forced Ji Ya to stop the war, and only asked Ji Ya to do everything possible to delay at least this winter, as long as Luo Chuan melted Anujin, it would be difficult for them to think about it again. Next year, I will find a way to meet Bayin again, only I can persuade him in this world!
At the beginning, I asked Nangong Jingnu to keep Ji Ya, at least as a hostage. How can I send Ji Ya away?
it's actually really easy…
Qi Yan asked Ji Ya to come to see her at three o'clock every noon, at least for an hour, this is the time when Nangong Jingnv came to see her in the morning, only to make Nangong Jingnv suspect that she and Ji Ya were "unclear". ", in order to provoke her to send Jiya to Luobei...
Or, it would be better if Nangong Jingnu was in a fit of rage and sent herself to Huainan as "out of sight" as in the past, that would be even better...
Just ah.
Seeing Nangong Jingnu's sad appearance, Qi Yan's heart was bleeding.
