Zuo Du Yushi was in a trance, he didn't know how he walked out of the hall, and how he got out of the palace.
He didn't know how to return to the emperor when he returned to the king. When the emperor hears the news, Longyan will definitely be furious. By then, the Zhennan Palace will be thousands of miles away. I am afraid that the person who will be angered by the emperor will be himself.
Thinking about it, Zuodu Yushi was already sweating profusely, and the cold sweat on his back soaked his shirt.
What should he do? !
Just when he was at his wit's end, there was a lively commotion in front of him, and several civilians hurried past him, yelling at one another while running:
"I heard that the prince Spring Hunting is back!"
"That's right, that's right, people have already arrived at Zhen'an Street ahead!"
"I just heard that my lord and the others' spring hunting is a 'big harvest'!"
"Of course, the soldiers of our Southern Border Army are invincible, what are the mere beasts!"
""
Zuodu Yushi was stunned, and then he realized that his eyes that were originally dull were a little bright again.
King Zhennan is back? !
Maybe maybe I still have a way out!
Zuodu Yushi's eyes flashed, and he immediately made up his mind, gestured to his followers, and said, "Follow me!"
He must speak to King Zhennan before he returns to the palace
Zuodu Yushi rode away with the few people who were watching the excitement. After turning a corner, he saw dozens of soldiers galloping here on tall horses. People passing by consciously give way to both sides of the road.
Among those soldiers, the leader was a middle-aged man wearing a vassal's python robe, and his horseshoes were flying in high spirits.
Obviously, this person is Zhennan King!
Zuo Du Censor rode his horse to the middle of the street, then got off his horse, gritted his teeth and shouted at the Zhennan King on the horse: "My lord, this officer is the imperial envoy Zuo Du Censor Hong Yongzhi sent by the emperor to deliver the decree in southern Xinjiang!"
When Zhennan Wang saw that someone dared to block the way, he originally planned to have someone drive him away, but he didn't expect that the other party claimed to be an imperial envoy from the capital. The smile on his face immediately disappeared, and his heart sank. It is obvious that there will be no good things for the emperor to send someone!
King Zhennan could only hold the horse rope, and stopped two or three feet away from Zuodu Yushi amidst the uneasy neighing of the horse.
"See you, my lord." Zuodu Yushi bowed to Zhennan King seriously, and then raised his voice, "Your lord, I have just met with your son, and he kept saying that southern Xinjiang wants to be independent. How dare you ask?" But what does the prince mean?!"
Zuodu Censor's tone was a little questioning. Rather than questioning Zhennan King, his words were actually meant to be heard by the soldiers present and the people on the side of the road.
Even if Zhennan King and Xiao Shizi want to rebel and want the South to be established, would their generals dare to follow? ! Do the people in southern Xinjiang dare to rebel? !
At this moment, under the eyes of everyone, does King Zhennan dare to admit that what Xiao Yi said was ordered by him? !
Zuodu Yushi's eyes were burning, and he stared up at King Zhennan without blinking, looking upright and awe-inspiring.
The King of Zhennan was stunned, he was so frightened that he almost passed out, if it wasn't for the public at this moment, he would almost pinch his thigh to see if this was a nightmare? !
That Nizi said that southern Xinjiang wants to be independent? !
Why doesn't he know that Nanjiang is going to be independent? !
For a moment, King Zhennan only felt that the top of his head was green, and when he was frightened, a burst of anger rose from his heart.
Not only the King of Zhennan was shocked, but also the dozens of soldiers behind him and the people around him. They looked at each other with different expressions, and the people couldn't help but whisper to each other
The noise from the surrounding people finally brought Zhennan Wang back to his senses. He instinctively wanted to ask clearly, and comforted the Imperial Envoy of the Left Capital by the way, but he saw Yao Yance who was on the right back immediately stepped forward, and suddenly said: " Bold! How dare you make such a rude noise in front of the prince! Come, don't take this person away!"
Although Yao Yan still didn't understand the situation, he also understood that King Zhennan couldn't show weakness to the imperial envoy in front of so many people, he had to try to fool King Zhennan away.
Thinking about it, he turned his head and whispered to King Zhennan, "My lord, do you think you should ask the son first before making any plans?"
Zhennan Wang squinted his eyes, yes, Yao Yan is right, even if you want to talk about this matter, you can't say it in front of so many people, if it becomes more and more troublesome, and spread it, Nan The rebellion in Xinjiang has become an established fact!
Yao Yan saw that Zhennan King's face was loose, so he said again: "Your Majesty, don't worry, in the end, people will be optimistic about that Zuodu Censor."
King Zhennan made a gesture, and immediately four accompanying soldiers stepped forward. When the scabbard was horizontal, the Zuodu Yushi trembled in fright, and his face turned pale. He didn't want to give his life to Nanjiang, so he could only leave with those soldiers in a humble manner.
However, the commotion on the street did not subside. King Zhennan's face sank like water, his horse's belly was clamped, and he hurriedly walked in the direction of the palace.
The gate of the Wangfu was closed soon after King Zhennan entered the mansion, and also blocked the prying eyes from outside the mansion.
Zhennan Wang's face was so ugly that it was almost dripping ink, he gritted his teeth and said: "Give me the king to ask that Nizi to come to the study to see the king?!"
As he said that, the veins on Zhennan Wang's face popped up, and he was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke. If Xiao Yi was right in front of him at this moment, he really wanted to strangle this traitor to death!
The woman here is indeed a debt from her previous life!
A young servant hastily took the order and left, walking in a hurry.
After a stick of incense, Xiao Yi hurried to Zhennan Wang's outer study slowly. The sleepy look made Zhennan Wang almost want to throw the paperweight on the desk, but he finally remembered the urgent task and pointed at Xiao Yi's The nose asked: "You?! Did you tell Zuodu Censor that southern Xinjiang wants to be independent?!"
"Father, your study should be well ventilated!" Xiao Yi answered the wrong question, and kindly opened the window for King Zhennan, a gust of cool wind blew in with a "squeak", and Xiao Yi smiled with satisfaction.
The veins on King Zhennan's forehead twitched, and he almost wondered if this Nizi wanted to talk about him, but Nizi nodded and said, "It's me."
As he spoke, he casually lifted his robe and sat down on the armchair by the window.
Zhennan Wang only felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured down his head, and his whole body was cold.
Is it really this rebellious son who is going to rebel? !
For a while, King Zhennan forgot to be angry, and couldn't help but start to think about it in his mind. When the emperor hears the news, he will definitely not be able to hold back his breath. At that time, the emperor will mobilize troops from all over the country, which will be Dayu's million-strong army. No, if he removes the 200,000 soldiers of the Southern Border Army, that will be a full 800,000 troops!
At that time, how can he contend with a mere 200,000 troops in southern Xinjiang? !
It's over!
Conspiracy is a crime of beheading everyone!
He has worked hard for most of his life, and the foundation built by his father, King Rongma, will be destroyed by this rebellious son's nonsense!
King Zhennan felt a cold swish on his neck, as if he had seen a butcher knife hanging high above, and he didn't know when it would "crash" to fall
Xiao Yi was admiring his father's complexion that alternated between blue and white, then red and purple, and naturally guessed what he was thinking, and the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth became stronger.
Another gust of wind blew from the window, blowing Xiao Yi's temple hair caressingly on his handsome face, adding a touch of wildness.
Xiao Yi turned his head sideways, his long black hair fell down, he casually propped his cheek with his right hand, and said casually:
"Now, Nanjiang, Nanliang, Baiyue, and Xiye are all my domains. It's okay for the imperial court to settle down a bit. Like now, I don't have time to play with them when they come to make trouble from time to time!" Where is his concubine
Xiao Yi uttered some shocking wild words in such an understatement, without concealing his impatience with the emperor in his tone.
On this day, King Zhennan once again felt struck by lightning.
What did this bastard just say? !
Nanliang and Baiyue were also brought down by this traitor? !
When did this happen
Why doesn't he know? !
Zhennan Wang also forgot to worry about Xiao Yi saying that the southern border was his, and his mind was filled with one question after another, trying to recall the strange behavior of this rebellious son in the past two years
Xiao Yi didn't intend to sit here to answer Zhennan King's questions, he stood up suddenly, brushed off the dust that didn't exist on his robe, and said with a smile: "Anyway, the beatings are all down, and from now on, these are all The brat's industry is still"
Xiao Yi deliberately paused, then tilted his head to look at King Zhennan and asked, "Father, do you want to dedicate Baiyue, Nanliang and Xiye to the emperor?"
As soon as the steelyard that held the emperor and his grandson in his heart was released, Zhennan Wang's heart immediately distinguished the high and the low. Instead of dedicating it to the emperor, it would be better to leave it to your own precious golden grandson!
But if this is the case, doesn't it mean that the Zhennan Palace really wants to rebel? !
King Zhennan was vacillating, with a very tangled expression on his face, and couldn't help asking: "Baiyue and Nanliang have really been defeated?"
"Of course." Xiao Yi smiled like a cat stealing fish, his half-closed eyes were shining brightly.
After the words were finished, Xiao Yi didn't bother to socialize with King Zhennan anymore, and said directly: "Father, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. I have to go back and take my son!"
Xiao Yi said it confidently, regardless of Zhennan Wang's reaction, he strode away directly.
"" King Zhennan looked at the back of Xiao Yi's leaving, his mouth opened and closed, he really couldn't make a decision for a while, it was the country of several countries.
There's no reason to pour out the fat that has already entered the bowl of their Zhennan Prince's Mansion, right
But can the emperor tolerate them eating "meat"? !
The more King Zhennan thought about it, the more entangled he became, and finally he said to himself, he had never heard of the independence of the South, and he didn't know.
Since King Zhennan could not make up his mind, Xiao Yi simply "kindly" made up his mind for his father. In the next few days, Xiao Yi directly turned the darkness into light, and sent an order to the four directions in the name of King Zhennan:
Southern Xinjiang broke away from Dayu and officially became independent. Baiyue, Nanliang, and Xiye all changed their country into counties and belonged to Southern Xinjiang! ..
In addition, several small countries from Nanliang to Xiye have long since surrendered, and the territory of Southern Xinjiang has expanded several times at once, and it is already a giant enough to shock the world and rival Dayu!
For a time, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion was full of people. Early in the morning, three veterans of the army came to see the Zhennan King, and wanted to persuade the Zhennan King not to use his emotions to become an enemy of Dayu.
The servant immediately led them to the small lake on the northwest side of the outer study. The three veterans were dumbfounded. They saw King Zhennan wearing a simple green robe and a bamboo hat, fishing on a small boat. It seems that there is quite a feeling of idle clouds and wild cranes.
King Zhennan, what does this mean? ! The three veterans looked at each other in blank dismay. Was he implying that "Jiang Taigong took the bait when he was fishing"? Or "fishing alone in the cold river and snow"? Or "Water can carry a boat and capsize it"
The three veterans were unpredictable, you looked at me, I looked at you, but in the end they responded, "The three monks have no water to drink." The three of them just had a fishing discussion with King Zhennan, and none of them could talk about the topic. Go around to "Nanjingli".
The three veterans came with high ambitions and left restlessly.
For a few days, several groups of people came to see King Zhennan. No matter who came, they all saw King Zhennan fishing in an "unfathomable" way.
Unknowingly, "Zhennan King Fishing" has become an unsolved mystery among the Southern Xinjiang Army.
However, for the people in southern Xinjiang, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion has governed and guarded southern Xinjiang for decades, and the imperial court is simply dispensable to southern Xinjiang. Therefore, whether southern Xinjiang is independent or not is just a temporary topic among the common people. There was only a slight ripple in the first few days. After that, everything returned to normal, and the common people still did what they should do.
Xiao Yi didn't care about the turmoil he caused. These outside disturbances didn't affect him at all. On this day, Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue brought little Xiao Yu to Qingyunwu.
Everyone was sitting around a large mahogany carved table, on which was spread a large parchment map. This map was a new map of southern Xinjiang that Guan Yubai had started drawing in Xiye before. It took two days to finish.
Looking down at this map, the eyes of Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai are shining brightly. This is the country they built step by step and at the cost of countless lives!
Little Xiao Yu, who was sitting in Xiao Yi's arms, saw that his father and adoptive father were looking at a large "painting" on the case, and looked at it curiously, but he couldn't see the pattern. He twisted his body and tried to climb onto the big case.
Xiao Yi immediately found out his "unruly intentions", patted his round buttocks lightly, and said with a smile: "Stinky boy, be quiet!"
Meeting the innocent and curious eyes of the little guy, Xiao Yi simply grabbed one of Xiaotuanzi's chubby paws, led him to a certain city on the map, and said, "This is Luoyue City, home!"
Xiao Xiaoyu understood the last word and smiled happily: "Home!"
The cuteness and cooperation of the little guy gave Xiao Yi a subtle sense of satisfaction, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He continued to pinch the little guy's chubby finger and moved south, and then said: "This is Baiyue County"
Regardless of whether the little guy understands it or not, Xiao Yi taught him to recognize the places on the map everywhere. The little guy felt like he was playing an interesting little game, and he laughed crisply from time to time, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely cheerful.
Nangong Yue, who was sitting beside Xiao Yi, looked at the father and son with a smile, her heart was soft and peaceful, like a clear spring flowing in her heart
Even if Xiao Yi didn't say anything, she already knew that it would be a matter of time before Nanyang became independent.
Even if Nanjiang does nothing, it is already destined to be a heart disease in the emperor's heart. What's more, Nanjiang is still getting stronger and stronger under the emperor's nose, and the emperor has long been unable to tolerate Nanjiang!
To put it bluntly, the emperor was worried that the Southern Border would rebel and the Northern Expedition would happen. However, in Nangong Yue's view, the emperor's worries were nothing more than mediocrity.
She understands her Ah Yi!
Her Ah Yi is the most arrogant, if no one offends me, I will not offend others. Moreover, her Ah Yi has the ability to open up territories, so why bother to covet Dayu's country!
It's a pity, since the emperor has doubts in his heart, he will never believe it!
At this time, Xiao Yi and Xiao Xiao Yu's fingers had reached the end of the "journey" - Xiye County.
"Xiye County." The little guy read vaguely, then looked up at Xiao Yi, waiting for his father to praise him.
Xiao Yi perfunctorily rubbed the top of Xiaotuanzi's hair with his hands, messing up his hair on purpose.
The class is now over, but the little guy is still a little bit unsatisfied. He looked around for half a circle, and noticed a similar "painting" hanging on one of the walls, pointing there and shouted, "Daddy, Daddy" let's continue playing!
Xiao Yi's eyes followed the little guy's fingers, and there was also a map hanging on the wall, Dayu's map.
Xiao Yi's eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something, his left arm wrapped around the little guy's chubby waist, and his right hand took Nangong Yue's hand, saying: "By the way, Ah Yue, I want to talk to you Let Xiaobai go to the capital together!"
Xiao Yi obviously didn't tell Guan Yubai in advance, and Guan Yubai who was sitting opposite him had a look of surprise on his face.
After these few days of recuperation, Guan Yubai's originally pale complexion gradually turned rosy. These days, Lin Jingchen came to give Guan Yubai acupuncture every day. Although Guan Yubai's right hand did not improve for the time being, his complexion improved. few
Seeing Lin Jingchen being so active in treatment made Guan Yubai feel a little hard to say.
He wanted to go to the king's capital, but he didn't even say anything to Xiao Si, because he wasn't sure when he would be able to get up. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi had already seen his intentions and brought it up first.
Xiao Yi grabbed the little guy's hands again, and counted the days with his fingers. Little Xiao Yu was confused by his father, and let his father fiddle with his fingers for a while, then saw Xiao Yi raised his eyes and said with certainty: "Next month is an auspicious time, so let's go next month."
Even Guan Yubai was confused by Xiao Yi. After a while, he finally came to his senses, looked deeply at Xiao Yi and smiled, and slowly uttered a word: "Okay!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, Xiao Xiaoyu looked back and forth between his father and adoptive father, as if afraid of falling behind, he also smiled foolishly.
The golden sunshine softly sprinkled into the house through the windows and the door, the inside and outside of the house were bright and transparent, and the air was filled with the fragrance of lotus.
The summer in southern Xinjiang is a sunny day.
When Xiao Yi's family of three came out of Qingyunwu, the sun was already setting, and the sleepy little guy had already fallen asleep in his father's arms, spitting bubbles from time to time.
With a "click", another bubble of saliva burst on his lips. Nangong Yue took out a handkerchief and wiped the corner of the little guy's mouth. Xiao Yi cooperated with her and stopped, saying: "Ah Yue, This time around, we will be back in two months at most!"
Nangong Yue's subordinates paused slightly, and wiped the corners of the little guy's mouth, then raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yi, and asked softly, "Ah Yi, are you here to bring the official and general back?"
There was a touch of sadness and melancholy in her soft voice.
Xiao Yi responded, and stared deeply at Nangong Yue, his dark peach eyes rippled a few times.
Those who know others, Ah Yue also!
Xiao Yi hugged Xiao Yu who was so sleepy that he didn't know where to go, and continued to walk forward, looking at the northern sky with distant eyes.
"You can't let Xiaobai go to the capital alone." Xiao Yi sighed.
Nangong Yue responded, her eyes half-downcast, the events of many years ago flashed like a revolving lantern in front of her eyes, how she met Guan Yubai and Xiaosi by chance, how she reached a cooperative relationship with Guan Yubai and later, How did Guan Yubai clear the grievances of the official family, and return to the capital with great vigor and coffins full of heroes from the official family
For Guan Yubai, if their old house and cemetery were not still in the capital, the capital might also be a sad place that he would never want to touch again.
"And," Xiao Yi's eyes flashed a sharp light, and he said meaningfully, "Now is the best time!"
Based on his understanding of the emperor, when the emperor knows that Nanjiang has captured Baiyue, Nanliang and Xiye, and with his bullying temperament, his fear of Nanjiang will inevitably rise to the highest point. He and Guan Yubai We must seize this opportunity and get things done as soon as possible, so that General Guan and Mrs. Guan can be reunited under Jiuquan as soon as possible
A gust of warm summer wind blew, making the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees rustle. Nangong Yue's sigh escaped from her lips before being blown away by the wind and covered by the sound of swaying branches and leaves.
