After the Lantern Festival, the entire Northern Dynasty fell into panic. The Sirius Kingdom deliberately provoked war, invaded the territory of the Northern Dynasty, burned, killed and plundered wantonly at Konggu Pass, destroying the original agreement. Although it was originally a peace treaty submitted by the Sirius Kingdom, it was also an agreement between the two countries personally signed by the emperor of the Northern Dynasty and the monarch of the Sirius Kingdom. Now it is the Sirius Kingdom that has caused the people to lose their lives and undermined the agreement. It would be too cowardly for the Northern Dynasty to back down.
In the deep and quiet secret room, the carved dragon pillars are very exquisite, and the surroundings seem airtight but are very cleverly designed. The two luminous pearls as big as the mouth of a bowl on the dragon pillars illuminate the entire secret room as if it were daytime.
Nangong Yuanyi followed in and saw the emperor turning the mechanism with his own eyes. Although it was not his first time here, when he came here again, his heart was still tight and his breathing became heavy.
Nangong Nan looked at the portraits of the emperors on the wall, with a hint of sadness in his expression. He had been on the throne for more than 20 years, and he had tried his best to protect the country handed over to him by the late emperor, so that the people of the world could live and work in peace and contentment, but he He was not cold enough and always looked forward and backward. If the late emperor had not pushed him to the throne, he would rather be an idle prince like King Yu.
The Northern Dynasty has existed for two hundred years. Nangong Nan was the fifteenth emperor. His reign was not long but not short. During this period, it was mostly because of the help of Prince Yu's Palace that his empire was stable. In addition, he continued many of the policies of the late emperor, so there was not too much turmoil in the court, but as time went on, problems would arise. For example, the deep-rooted Governor Xu in Jincheng dared to embezzle huge amounts of public funds. If such a worm is allowed to exist, it will only It would bring disaster to the Northern Dynasty.
Most of the evidence of Taishou Xu's corruption was secretly fueled by Nangong Yuanyi, which is why the matter was settled so quickly. If he were not careful and Taishou Xu used his power to rebel over this matter, there would still be a fight to be fought. After all, Taishou Xu held in his hands Military power, where did these powers go later? Of course, it was legitimately returned to the emperor's hands. As for the process, one can only ask Nangong Yuanyi.
In addition, the disease in Yongxiu County can be suppressed quickly, and Nangong Yuanyi also secretly contributed a lot. In order to prevent the people from panic, Nangong Hao took advantage in vain.
"Sirius Kingdom deliberately provokes and wants to cause war. What do you think of this matter?" Nangong Nan said in a deep voice.
Nangong Yuanyi was silent, with an indifferent expression, looking careless, "I have no knowledge and skills all day long, and I only know how to tease cats and dogs. Your uncle asked me to give you advice. Didn't you deliberately bury me?"
Nangong Nan didn't take it seriously. He knew Nangong Yuanyi's ability. If Bei Dynasty was really in trouble, Nangong Yuanyi would not ignore it. He said to himself: "Why did the Sirius Kingdom suddenly do this? Why did King Nawuda Not to go to war directly, but to deliberately provoke. If I send troops to start a war, I will be the party who takes the initiative to tear up the agreement. At that time, I will be spurned by all countries. I am dishonest, but the people of Konggu Pass are also my subjects, and I cannot let it be. The humiliation from other countries, alas, really gives me a headache."
Nangong Yuanyi has actually figured out that it is their political king who took the initiative to stir up trouble in the Sirius Kingdom, but there is also the tacit approval of King Uda. Who dares to say that King Uda does not want to tear up the agreement? Besides, Is it really only the Sirius Kingdom that wants to provoke a war? Will there be other countries involved? This matter needs to be investigated clearly.
Nangong Yuanyi took a look at the emperor. A person who could check and balance the dynasty and sit on the throne for twenty years must not be as "benevolent" as he seemed on the surface. In other words, the emperor also cared about the 500,000 soldiers in his hands.
Suddenly, the emperor said again, "Princess Yu has taken a fancy to the little granddaughter of Taifu Wen's family and asked me to grant you a marriage. I think that girl is knowledgeable and courteous, and she is talented. Taifu Wen is also very satisfied with you. She has also He is your master, and he is worthy of it. When I choose an auspicious day to marry you, you will be old enough. At your age, I already have several sons."
When Nangong Yuanyi heard this, there was finally a trace of emotion on his face, and he said in a nonchalant manner: "Threatened me about getting married again. Was it my mother who instigated me? This time, she asked me to marry her daughter. We But they are cousins."
In order to find a wife for Nangong Yuanyi, Princess Yu had already found out the birthdays and horoscopes of all the ladies from aristocratic families in Kyoto.
Nangong Nan frowned and brought up the old matter again: "What's the matter, cousin? This is a good thing for a kiss. Besides, Miss Nawen is infatuated with you. In this life, she will not marry anyone other than Nangong's son. Taifu Wen also came to the palace to talk to her several times." I have replied, and I can’t always refute Taifu Wen’s face.”
Taifu Wen was knowledgeable and the emperor's disciple. The emperor naturally respected him very much. This small request only required an imperial edict to grant marriage. The reason why these marriages were delayed was because Nangong Yuanyi was unwilling. , then Miss Wen is also very good, so why wouldn’t she want to do it?
Nangong Yuanyi suddenly said seriously: "I agree to go to the Sirius Kingdom, but my mother's proposal is over." If he really marries Wen Tingting, he will be annoyed to death. If the imperial decree is really issued, he will not agree to marry Wen Tingting. If Tingting comes to seek death and life again, he is not going to be in bad luck.
An Xiyue's sharp-tongued appearance suddenly flashed in Nangong Yuanyi's mind. She seemed to be fearless, which was very incomprehensible.
Nangong Nan smiled with satisfaction, "If Taifu Wen comes to intercede again, I will accept it. However, you must not slack off on this important matter of marriage. If you have a girl you like, I will help you get married."
"Let's wait until the matter of Sirius Kingdom is resolved." Nangong Yuanyi did not refute this time and said calmly.
The emperor was suddenly startled. In the past, when marriage was mentioned, he was very disgusted and usually walked away. Why was it different this time?
As soon as An Xiyue returned home, she went directly to Ruixueyuan to see the old lady.
When An Xiyue explained the cause and effect to the old lady, the old lady's eyes were full of worry and she said: "Do you really want to send your mother to Nanshan? But can it really be cured? She was poisoned. But you can’t spread it out…”
An Xiyue nodded with a firm look. Yu Wenjing said that he alone did not have the ability and confidence to detoxify his mother. He could only send it to Piaomiao Villa to show it to his master. Plus, if Yoon'er could really be cured, She didn't want to miss such an opportunity.
But thanks to Nangong Yuanyi's help, they had the opportunity to connect with Piaomiao Villa.
An Xiyue said softly: "Grandma, it is precisely because we cannot publicize it that we have to send it out for treatment. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we cannot give up."
An Xiyue knew that the only person in charge of this family was the old lady. As long as the old lady nodded, the matter of why her mother was not in Kyoto could be reconciled with the people of An Mansion.
