Chu Nanyue closed her eyes slightly, but what came to mind was the sleeve arrow with a cold light, which shot straight into her heart, and the pain was in her bones for a while.

She couldn't help but shudder, since she knew Zhao Jingyu's ruthlessness and saw Dongling Yan's intentions, how could she conclude that Dongling Shuo must be true to her?

However, after working together for a year, it is the same as all the soldiers, and Donglin Shuo's relentless pursuit at the moment, does it harbor evil intentions like Donglin Yan?

It is necessary to know that a person's emotions can be disguised.

Chu Nanyue has been on the battlefield for a long time, and because he has a man's heart, it is difficult to be tempted by people. She thinks that now that she has the position of a general with her military merits, she doesn't need to take the only way to marry like an ordinary woman.

She Chu Nanyue can live a happy life and live beautifully with her own strength!

Chu Nanyue slowly raised his eyes, looked at Shangdongling Shuo's eyes full of expectation, and said: "I hope that His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness will always be as calm as he is today in the court, and his relatives can't believe it yet, let alone colleagues who have nothing to do with it." ”

Chu Nanyue said vaguely, but Dongling Shuo still understood. She didn't believe her words, she didn't believe that she would defend her desperately.

Tanglin Shuo's eyes dimmed, but he quickly regained the firmness in his tone: "Thank you General Chu for reminding him." ”

Relatively silent to each other, Tanglin Shuo left silently.

The next day, in the imperial study.

In front of the emperor, several cronies and ministers did not dare to speak, just because someone wrote a letter to accuse the royal family in the capital, saying that Wang Chang, the son of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was greedy for ink, and connived at the house slaves to encroach on the fertile land and kill several people.

When he was hesitating to discuss how to deal with it, the second prince Dongling Hong came to ask for a meeting.

Now Tanglin Hong is in full swing, and he is the second son of the emperor, the oldest among the princes.

"Father, according to what the sons and daughters have seen, there is no need to worry too much about the old feelings, although the Wang family is a family, but it has been weak over the years, and dealing with them will not cause much resistance." Tanglin Hongdao.

The emperors of several dynasties have already had the intention of rectifying the family, and Dongling Hong's mother Concubine Duan saw that the emperor had not made up her mind for a few days, so she impatiently urged her son to take the initiative to give the emperor a reason.

"Hong'er, then it's up to you to handle this matter." The Emperor said.

He has the heart to train his sons, and the future foundation of the Tanglin Kingdom will be left to them to guard.

"Father Xie trusts!" Tanglin Hong does not hide his joy.

His mother was right, his father had expectations for him.

Tangling Hong quickly understood the situation of the Wang family.

He doesn't have to do anything, he already has his subordinates collecting and exploring for him many times, and there is even Concubine Duan to help him.

In the previous dynasty before the founding of Tanglin, the ancestors of the Wang family held important positions in the imperial court, and the Wang family even married the royal family, and the power was complicated.

When Tanglin was first established, in order to appease the intricate family forces, many families were not held accountable, but were rewarded with favors to strengthen their loyalty.

Taking the Wang family as an example, many of the sons of the Wang family who have made no meritorious contributions have also been knighted. In the generation of the Ministry of Rites, the family road gradually declined, the younger brother was arrogant and lascivious, and the Wang family lost its former glory.

Fortunately, Lord Shangshu Wang of the Ministry of Rites himself is quite low-key, but his eldest son, Wang Chang, is very different from his father. Wang Chang acted recklessly when he was young, and repeatedly used the power in his hands to seek personal gain.

Dongling Hong did not care about the Wang family, and ordered Wang Chang to be arrested and brought to justice, and sent to prison for a detailed trial, Wang Chang soon confessed the fact of embezzling land and property and taking away civilian property.

Under the hint of the emperor, Tanglin Hong acted resolutely and decisively confiscated the Wang family's property, Wang Chang was exiled, and Wang and his wife committed suicide in shame.

Due to years of greed for ink, after Wang Chang fell, his family property was charged into the national treasury, adding more than one billion yuan to the country. The treasury was enriched, and then the people reduced taxes, and the people of Tanglin applauded.

And Donglin Hong is considered to have made meritorious contributions, and he was also naturally named King Yu.

Concubine Duan was favored, and King Yu was crowned......

As soon as the news from the DPRK and China spread, Chu Nanyue did not seem surprised in the general's mansion.

"General, how do you look like you knew it in advance?" Qingshuang Qidao.

"It's just a king, the current situation is not clear, and the future is actually undecided." Chu Nanyue said indifferently.

Chu Nanyue didn't know what the emperor meant now, maybe it was just because of the death of the crown prince, and he loved the remaining princes more and more.

Or perhaps, the emperor is really trying the depth of several sons and exploring the right candidate for the next crown prince.

And Tanglin Hong was top-notch so early, which is not necessarily a good thing.

However, it didn't take long for Dongling Yan to be crowned King of Qi because of the merits of his mother Zhao family.

The result was unexpected.

Dongling Yan is the youngest son of the emperor, and he was not favored by the courtiers originally, but recently Concubine Hui's status has been raised, and he has been named the king of Qi, and there has been a lot of discussion in the court.

Compared with these two, the empress's Donglin Shuo seemed to have been ignored by the emperor and was not titled.

Some people speculate that the performance of the six princes Dongling Shuo has been flat recently, and the emperor is disappointed in it, so he focuses on King Qi and King Yu.

But the emperor is above the court, and Donglin Shuo is still as reliant as before, and he can't see any estrangement between father and son.

So although the courtiers guessed a lot, they didn't dare to stand in line rashly, lest they stand on the wrong side.

Jingning Hou Mansion.

It's night.

Chu Nanxuan knelt in front of Marquis Jing Ning, extremely depressed: "Grandfather, it's not that my grandson doesn't work hard enough, but I have been dragged down by my body for many years and have to make compromises. Chu Nanyue's girl just left, and cleaned up all the people in the army of our Chu family, she must have hated us very much. ”

If he didn't realize this, Chu Nanxuan even wanted Chu Nanyue to continue to open the way for himself, just like before.

"I don't know how she found out, she was so decisive from beginning to end." Jing Ninghou frowned.

But he didn't have time to think deeply, the way out of the Chu family was still unclear at the moment, which was enough to give him a headache.

"Xuan'er, your father is useless, I have long lost hope, and I can only hand over the foundation of the Chu family to your shoulders. You have also been taught by me since you were a child, and now the rise and fall of the Chu family is all in your thoughts. Jing Ninghou sighed.

Chu Nanxuan was powerless: "But grandfather, I don't have an official position at all, and if I go to participate in the scientific examination, I don't know how many years it will take." ”

With the current status of the Chu family, if you want to use gold and silver to stuff people into important positions in the imperial court, you don't dare. If the emperor is unfortunate enough to know, the emperor will never let it go.

"Why do you have to look so narrow?" Jing Ninghou shook his head, and a dark light gradually appeared in his eyes, "It is indeed difficult to follow the text, but if you join the army, like Chu Nanyue, sooner or later you can use military merits to fight for a world." ”

Jing Ninghou only hated the slackness of Chu Nanyue at the beginning, he did not control Chu Nanyue firmly enough, so that Chu Nanyue broke off his relationship with the Chu family when he was enjoying the glory.
