Chapter 534: The Nangong family is divided, and the human trap reappears
In the Taiqing Hall of the Imperial Palace, in addition to these old but energetic ministers, there is of course a beautiful figure.
His Highness Qingyang, who was wearing a luxurious palace dress, looked at Li Nuo who was surrounded by ministers with a smile.
Faced with compliments and flattery from everyone, Li Nuo made a few prevarications and squeezed through the crowd.
He doesn't have the time to make excuses with these old guys. If he has this time, wouldn't it be better to talk about love with Qingyang?
"You are still thoughtful. If you hadn't requested the Human Emperor Sword from the Imperial Ancestral Temple today, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Li Nuo returned the Human Emperor Sword to Qingyang.
In fact, it was quite difficult for Qingyang to make such a choice.
After all, no matter how much Wen Zong practiced the evil arts, he was still her imperial grandfather in the final analysis!
However, she asked for the Human Emperor Sword to kill him. At best, it was a righteous act of annihilation of relatives; at worst, it was an unworthy descendant.
"The eldest princess of Dayin, Li Lianyue, invites the Imperial Sword to return to her throne."
Princess Qingyang holds the Human Emperor Sword in both hands and spits out a stream of true dragon energy from her mouth.
Then the Human Emperor Sword trembled slightly, and then flew out of the hall on its own with a "swish" sound, and fell in the direction of the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
"Actually, I don't know if the Human Emperor Sword is useful, I'm just giving it a try."
Qingyang sighed.
What happened today will surely spread quickly.
This can be regarded as a royal scandal. I am afraid that the people of Dayin will be a little disappointed in the royal family.
She also doesn't know how to restore the reputation of the royal family.
When Cui Wuhui saw this, his vigilance dissipated.
It's because he's too worried.
Li Zian, even if he is an extremely human minister, cannot have more than 10% of the luck of the Central Plains. How could he be able to control the Human Emperor Sword? This should be the result of His Highness Qingyang's connection.
"Zian, you have worked hard today. You should have a good rest these days. When the army returns home in triumph, the imperial court will definitely give you a reward."
Cui Wuhui walked up to Li Nuo and showed his kindness to him.
Li Nuo knew that this old fox was not so kind, but fortunately he had Cui Yunyun's card in his hand, so he would probably be more at ease during this period.
The finishing touches were naturally left to these ministers who had nothing to do except impeach each other.
On the way back to Chang'an, Li Nuo jumped into Qingyang's chariot, causing Qingyang to roll his eyes.
The guards naturally looked at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, but saw nothing.
"As long as King Qin wakes up, it should be no problem for me to exchange for your freedom with my rescue today."
Li Nuo looked at Qingyang and said with embarrassment.
Qingyang's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her heart was as sweet as eating candied fruit, but she couldn't let her lover do whatever she wanted. She was a princess! So he deliberately displayed the majesty of a princess and said: "If you want to marry me, your house is too small."
point."
Marrying a princess is not that simple.
Even if the complicated three gifts and six betrothals can be simplified, the princess's place of residence cannot be like that of ordinary people who just set up a small house and spend it away.
"The house in the west of the city is indeed smaller, but the good houses in the good areas of Chang'an are all owned by owners. Even if the price increases at this moment, no one may be willing to sell them, unless I use my power to force them."
Li Nuo frowned and thought.
Qingyang really posed a difficult problem for him.
He hadn't thought of this before.
After all, when I married Ye Qingyu, it was just an ordinary old house in Anhefang, Yuzhou.
Qingyang glanced at the phoenix eyes and said angrily: "Who wants you to use your power to force others? Don't you ask the emperor to give you a mansion? The majestic Duke Wu An, the prince and grand master, does not even have a decent mansion.
In what manner?"
Li Nuo suddenly realized.
Then he felt slightly annoyed, what kind of brain was he in, why didn't he think of this?
Whether it is Chang'an or Luoyang, the royal family has many good mansions on hand. For example, the original Jin Prince's Palace, Xin Prince's Palace, etc...
After these were nationalized, they remained vacant.
These mansions are generally used to reward meritorious ministers.
Li Nuo, on the other hand, surrendered to the Demon Cult and pacified Southern Xinjiang, exactly agreed with this condition.
Moreover, Qingyang also found a little trick to ask the emperor to give him a mansion. This represented the emperor's attitude and agreed to the marriage!
Li Nuo also quickly figured this out. In this way, he and Qingyang were legitimately together. If outsiders still made irresponsible remarks, it would be natural for him to kill people with a knife.
Qingyang is still thoughtful!
Li Nuo also feels very confident about this matter. As long as the real King of Qin comes back...
Nothing should go wrong, right?
As for such trivial matters as re-cleaning the palace, he doesn't need a foreign minister to remind him, right?
"As expected of my daughter Zhuge, come and give you a kiss as a reward."
Li Nuo excitedly leaned over and rewarded Qingyang with a kiss.
Qingyang glared angrily and hurriedly pushed the crooked lover away. He blushed and talked about Chunwei's incident: "Stop making trouble in broad daylight. By the way, I have already released the news about what you are talking about.
Some people will definitely quit, but there is one person I can do something about."
It was originally scheduled to be at the end of February or early March to recruit scholars in the spring, but as a result, Emperor Jingtai had been hiding in the harem to tinker with his summoning of heroic spirits, and could not get the emperor's approval, so the matter was delayed again and again.
But now it's almost April. If the exams don't start again, I'm afraid the candidates will have complaints.
After all, traveling to Beijing to take the exam for food, clothing, housing and transportation is a huge expense.
Of course, the children of aristocratic families don't care, but for the poor family members, life is limited, and one day longer will mean a day of hardship.
"Who dares to rob me? A veteran of the Imperial College?"
Li Nuo was very curious.
Qingyang shook his head lightly: "Guess again."
"One of our own? That's even more impossible. Who is it?"
Li Nuo really couldn't think of anyone who wouldn't give him face except those old diehards from the Imperial College?
Qingyang's phoenix eyes narrowed, and he said with murderous intent: "Nangong captures the tiger!"
"How could it be him?"
Li Nuo was greatly surprised.
The contemporary head of the Nangong family is named Nangong Qu, and his son is named Nangong Qinhu, who is also the cousin of Nangong Shehu, and now holds the position of right minister of the Ministry of Rites.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Nuo is not very familiar with this person and has not had much communication with him.
On weekdays, Nangong Qinhu always keeps a low profile, even in the Ministry of Rites, like an invisible person.
After all, the Minister of Rites is the famous Prince Tutor Du Yan. Even though Du Yan is basically staying at home and annotating the Confucian Classics, the Ministry of Rites still has a minister Zuo, and this "Chen Laoshi" is conscientious and has brought the Ministry of Rites into the spotlight.
If everything is well organized, there really is no room for Nangong to get too excited.
Therefore, Li Nuo really didn't expect that Nangong Qinhu would come out to compete for the position of examiner.
But Nangong Shehu probably won't be able to help with this matter.
Although Nangong Shehu is the admiral of Jiangnan Navy and is a master of fourth-grade military art, his status is really embarrassing. He is only a collateral...
Nangong Qinhu is the direct descendant of Zhengerbajing. After a hundred years of Nangong Qu, he will succeed as the head of the family.
Nangong Zishuo, who was slapped in the face by Li Nuo at Baqiao and who knelt down and recited "Farewell to his teacher at Zheliu Pavilion", was Nangong Qinhu's son.
However, last year Qiuwei High School ranked second, which was a bit unexpected. I don’t know whether it was due to accumulated accumulation or cheating.
Of course, it was because of this enmity that Nangong Zishuo kept encouraging the family to annex Li Nuo's Immortal Drunken House in Yuzhou.
After receiving the news, Lu Yihong also personally reported it to Li Nuo. Li Nuo responded by directly auctioning off the liquor formula.
Counting the days, the auction house is almost ready, but the number of high-quality items is still slightly less. So Li Nuo is not in a hurry, after all, this auction house must be a hit!
It was already sunset when we returned to Chang'an, but Li Nuo did not follow Qingyang back to the palace, but returned to his residence in the west of the city.
Ye Qingyu and Qiluo also returned to Chang'an as early as possible. As for the return of the army's troops to the court, they were fully responsible for Chen Xiaowei and others.
"I am so happy that my husband has returned safely."
Ye Qingyu, who was wearing a light blue dress, stepped forward to greet her with a slight smile on her lips.
Qiluo, on the other hand, immediately lit the brazier that had been prepared and said playfully: "Uncle, hurry up and step over the brazier to get rid of bad luck."
"Why are you so unlucky?"
Li Nuo couldn't help but smile bitterly as he looked at the fire that had already shot up to a height of ten feet.
"Isn't this unlucky? You are the emperor's killer! There is no chance that a group of old diehards will jump out and use etiquette to accuse you of being unruly and lawless."
Qiluo urged, "Uncle, please hurry up and jump into the brazier."
Li Nuo had no choice but to comply.
After stepping over the brazier, Qiluo sprinkled some water with a willow branch. After seeing the two women showing satisfied smiles, Li Nuo said: "Madam, when are you free, can I make an appointment for you?"
"Meet Qingyang?"
Ye Qingyu smiled and said.
Li Nuo said awkwardly: "I promised her before I went on the expedition that I would give her an answer after the southern Xinjiang was pacified."
"Husband, the slave family is not a jealous woman. Qingyang has made so many sacrifices for you, so she should have been given a title a long time ago. The slave family has a lot of free time now, you can make arrangements."
Ye Qingyu said generously, "By the way, I have already told Qingfenglou about Sister Xiyao's matter. We have to dig three feet into the ground to find this mother and son. You can just worry about the matters in the court. At home. The slave family will take care of things for you."
"Madam, I have wronged you."
Li Nuo held Ye Qingyu's hand tightly and was extremely moved.
Qiluo suddenly thought of something, so she hurried to the house and took out a greeting card and handed it to Li Nuo: "Uncle, someone sent a greeting card this morning."
"Who?"
"He put it down and left. I didn't even ask. You can see for yourself."
Li Nuo opened it and looked slightly surprised: "Red Lady?"
"The red lady? Is she the widow you said Senior Brother Ren likes?"
Ye Qingyu also had a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"Well, she is actually Nangong Shehu's biological sister. She just recognized her ancestor and returned to her clan not long ago. But why did she come to Chang'an? Could it be..."
Li Nuo thought about Nangong Qinhu's fight with him to be the examiner.
To be honest, the Nangong family did this unethically.
Could it be that Nangong Shehu sent this sister here to plead for mercy?
This made Li Nuo feel a little unhappy.
In Yingtian Mansion, he got rid of Zhao Quan and gave the Nangong family a huge gift.
With the fall of the Zhao family, the vacant power and wealth are so coveted, so who can get it first? It must be the Nangong family!
Ye Qingyu asked: "I wonder if she is here on behalf of the Nangong family, or just in her own name?"
"The signature is 'Red Lady'...but I think it should be for the sake of the examiner."
Li Nuo clicked on the signature on the greeting card.
Ye Qingyu asked in confusion: "Why do you care so much about this examiner? With your status, there should be no need to be this examiner, right?"
"My lady, I don't know. This is my literary style. If I can't be the examiner for once, my literary style will be imperfect."
Li Nuo pointed to his Wen Xin.
"Don't worry, uncle! The sword in my hand is not a vegetarian. If the Nangong family doesn't know what to do, I will destroy them."
Qiluo opened her eyes and was full of fighting spirit!
"You little girl, stop shouting and killing all day long, plant more flowers and cultivate yourself. Okay, it's getting late, I'll go to the appointment right away."
After saying goodbye to the two women, Li Nuo quickly went to Zhuangyuan Building.
Entered the appointed private room.
The red lady hurriedly stood up to greet you: "I thought you weren't coming."
Li Nuo closed the door and said with a playful smile: "The person who signed your invitation is the 'Red Lady'. You are inviting me as my sister-in-law. How dare I not come?"
"Virtue... Then I'll get straight to the point."
The red lady rolled her eyes. Although she had recognized her ancestors and returned to her clan, after traveling around for more than ten years, her temperament was not easy to change.
"If you want me to withdraw from the competition as examiner, then there is no need to discuss it."
Li Nuo put his ugly words in plain sight.
The red lady glared angrily: "Am I the kind of person who repays kindness with enmity?"
"Haha, she is indeed the woman that my senior brother Ren has chosen! It's me who judged a gentleman with a villain's heart. Xiaosheng apologizes to the red heroine!"
Li Nuo smiled heartlessly.
The red lady said helplessly: "My brother sent me here, mainly to explain to you that we are just a side branch. Even if my brother becomes a high official, he doesn't have much say in the family. In this matter, my brother
There is nothing we can do.”
"Well, I understand. The aristocratic family is like this. Even if Brother Shehu got to that position by his own strength, the direct family members will only think that all this is the family's credit."
Li Nuo nodded to express his understanding.
The red lady lowered her voice and said, "My brother asked me to come. There is one more thing I want to ask your opinion on."
"What's the matter?"
"Separate the family!"
"Separation?"
Li Nuo was very surprised.
In this day and age, separating a family is not a good thing, and may even be labeled as unfilial by the world.
The red lady said: "My brother has actually had this idea for a long time."
"Once the families are separated, Brother Shehu may not be able to retain his status as Navy Admiral."
A friendly reminder from Li Nuo.
The red lady smiled bitterly and said: "If we don't separate the families, I'm afraid we will be beheaded."
"how you said that?"
Li Nuo was surprised.
The red lady said cautiously: "My brother accidentally saw a letter from my uncle."
This uncle refers to the contemporary head of the family, Nangong Qu.
"He Xin?"
"Written by the King of Nanman to his uncle!"
"Nanbarbarians? It can't be that Nangong Qu wants to collude with the Nanbarians and subvert the Central Plains, right?" Li Nuo shook his head and smiled, "You are worrying too much. The head of the Nangong Qu family is not a fool. He knows that the rebellion is impossible to succeed, so how can he still do it?
Doing such a stupid thing?"
The red lady smiled bitterly and said: "If that's true, I would respect him as a good man! Unfortunately, that's not the case."
There was a pause.
The red lady looked slightly angry and said through gritted teeth: "My brother checked it out in private, and sure enough, some Jiangnan women disappeared mysteriously. My brother concluded that they must have been sent to the Nanman!"
"No one reported it?"
"They are all poor people who have spent enough money. Who is willing to report to the official?"
"But what do the Nanman want from us Central Plains women?"
Li Nuo still doesn't quite understand what the purpose of this move is?
"I don't know, but they are all transported by ship. My brother also sent people to follow them secretly, but they never returned."
"Brother Shehu's subordinates are all proficient in water properties, but they also failed?"
Li Nuo took a deep breath of air.
The red lady looked solemn and said: "I don't know either. But some people said that they vaguely saw people coming and going on that boat. Unfortunately, when we went to find that person for confirmation, that person died."
Human beings!
Li Nuo's hair suddenly stood up when he heard this name!
