Chapter 12 The Palace Stream Undercurrent
Nangong Bao sighed, and Nangong Yan looked through it carefully, and her eyes did not move on the page of Emperor Xiaowu's meritorious service, she was puzzled for a moment, and stretched out her hand to point to the name of the first general of Emperor Xiaowu and the same position as the general: "Brother, this person is just a captain, how can he be ranked with the general?" ”
Nangong was suspicious, glanced at the merit record, and then said in a procrastinated voice: "He... I guess he won't be able to secure this reward... Nine times out of ten, we're going to be unlucky..."
"Do you reward those who have merit? How can you still be unlucky? ”
"Yan'er, the military general, don't cover his army, this kid I heard some news, he is a young general of the Xiaowu Emperor, he has some ability, he was still a bachelor of the country before entering the army, during the bloody battle of the Liaoyuan Army, this kid rode alone to aid the Liaoyuan Army, and severely damaged the Beiban Golden Family, and leaked his face in front of Qin Yi and His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and his reputation was famous for a while, so that the two of them jointly named him for his meritorious service..."
"That should be a good thing, I've heard of Qin Yi's prestige, that's the most powerful old handsome in Great Xia... The person he fancies will definitely not be bad..."Nangong Yan didn't know why.
Nangong Bao shook his head and smiled: "What do you know, a general with high merit is recommended by a foreign military department, so where is the face of the general of his own army?" Moreover, Emperor Xiaowu is His Majesty's pro-army, Emperor Xiaowu's first and second armies are all wiped out, only the three armies are dependent, Geng Liao is from the middle general, from the deep general, what this guy has done has long been taboo..."
Nangong Bao was forgetful for a while, so he said a little too much, but a majesty came from behind him: "Bao'er, what are you talking about?" ”
Nangong Bao was stunned for a moment, and got up: "Dad!" ”
In front of the door, Prince Qing stood with his hands behind his back, and his majesty was overflowing, which suddenly made Nangong Bao look at a loss: "Dad, I... I... Just looking at my sister boring... It's hard for the next person... Just come and relieve her boredom..."
Prince Qing glanced at the merit record in Nangong Yan's hand, and scolded loudly: "How many times have I told you... Don't get involved with the rotten Confucians in Zhongshuge... How did you make this mistake again..."
Nangong Bao knew that Lao Tzu was blaming him for taking the merit record, so he wanted to explain: "Dad, tomorrow will hold a merit meeting, this merit record is not a secret for a long time, many people have it in their hands, I just passed by Zhongshu Pavilion, met Zheng Qian, and said a few more words, and he gave me a copy casually..."
I didn't think that this prevaricating explanation would be exchanged for Prince Qing's greater anger: "Others? Do you want to follow the trend when someone else does? If someone else gives you a trap, you want it, and if someone else sets a trap for you, you will also jump with it? Is it that this king has been negligent in punishment recently, so that you all forget how to write the painful words? ”
"It's not... Father... Don't be angry... Nangong Bao became more and more anxious, although in front of outsiders, he was the prince of King Qing's mansion, the left Qianniu guard of the Imperial City Palace Guard, brave and heroic, and more than a thousand strong armorers under his command were as obedient as arms, but in front of Prince Qing, his young tiger momentum had long dissipated.
Prince Qing looked at his helpless son and sighed angrily: "Alas... Bao'er, you are the son of Qingwangfu, you are related to the future of hundreds of people in Qingwangfu, walking in the palace, this is the cliff climbing, the crisis can be on the body at any time, we are the identity of the king, but also to be vigilant from time to time, do not attack the respect, if something goes wrong... The consequences are that the sky is falling..."
A heartfelt statement made Nangong Bao feel annoyed in his heart, regretting that he was talking too much and taking some bullshit merit book.
Beside her, Nangong Yan saw that her brother was scolded because of herself, and she didn't play tricks anymore, she went up and knelt down, and presented the merit record: "Dad... Either burn this thing..."
"Forget it, let's have a long memory this time!" Prince Qing looked at the two of them, although he was angry, but in the end it was a child, so he relieved: "Remember in the future, how calm you are in trouble, now this king's body and bones can still support it, and he can protect you for a while, but if this king is not there one day, you can only look at God if you are so reckless!" ”
Hearing this, Nangong Yan and Nangong Bao felt sour in their hearts.
"Yan'er, you have to be obedient these days, don't run around, this is the middle of the capital, if you are really panicked in the house, you and your mother will go to the manor outside the city to live for a few days, if you can't do it, you will be in the old mansion of Dongjun!" Prince Qing's words came here, even if Nangong Yan no longer understood the military and government affairs, she could hear something strange from her father's words.
"Dad, my daughter listens to you!" Nangong Yan got up very honestly, and as for Nangong Bao, Prince Qing whispered at him: "Take the merits and record them in my study!" ”
In the study, Nangong Bao talked about the situation in the palace in detail, and when he heard that the palace guards were resting in turn, Prince Qing's eyebrows changed slightly: "Bao'er, do you mean that the patrol of the four gates in the palace has changed?" Who appointed? And where did the order come from? ”
Nangong factored his thoughts and said, "The decree is from the Forbidden Army Pavilion!" ”
"Just the Forbidden Army Pavilion?" Nangong was suspicious: "Isn't there a coordination order from the Nine Gate Governors and the Palace Guard?" ”
"Nope!" Nangong Bao looked at Prince Qing's face, and was a little stunned: "Dad, what's wrong?" Could it be that the transfer of the palace guard... Abnormal? ”
"No... It's nothing..."Prince Qing waved his hand, looked at the merit record in his hand, and after a while, he got up and said, "Bao'er, you go back to the palace guard!" ”
"Why? Dad, the order is decentralized, the left guard stops, the right guard patrols, I'll go back this time... But it violates the law of palace guards..."
Hearing this, Prince Qing got up and paced back and forth a few steps: "Since you can't come back to the palace guard, you go to the Forbidden Army Pavilion and find Zhonglang General Yu Changhai, and say that you will have tea with him, don't you go?" ”
Then the father and son sighed carefully for a few moments, Nangong Bao hurriedly left the house and went straight to the Imperial City Forbidden Army Pavilion, and Prince Qing also prepared the frame and entered the palace to ask for a meeting.
Xishan Daying, Zhongying School Field.
As far as the eye can see, tens of thousands of soldiers of Emperor Xiaowu are divided into various schools, gathered here, on the platform of a general, Geng Liao stands proudly, and the army and vanguard behind him are lined up on both sides.
"Xiao Wu soldiers, in early summer, the Northern Barbarians went south, killed my people, plundered my mountains and rivers, after half a year of fighting, bloody slaughter, countless heroic souls scattered in the wilderness, but the Northern Barbarians have retreated, Great Xia has been peaceful, this is Your Majesty's heavenly grace..."
As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers of the Martial Emperor had already chanted, 'Heavenly Grace Protection... Long live Your Majesty... Banzai... Hooray...'
Beside Geng Liao, Huang An, the head of internal affairs, stood upright, looking at the warriors who shouted the emperor's grace, this old eunuch who was nearly sixty years old looked proud and majestic, beside him, with the eunuch holding a silver plate, with a silver tin scroll on it, waiting for the soldiers to shout and disperse, Geng Liao turned around and bowed to Huang An: "The chief manager came to give an order in person this time, and the warriors are grateful, and I feel the emperor's favor and the lower feeling that the lord is tired!" ”
"Where is the general, as a servant of His Majesty, our family can't kill the enemy with a knife like all the soldiers, and I already feel guilty in my heart, and now I can run errands for Your Majesty, which is a blessing, and besides, the great victory in Northern Xinjiang is a major event for the whole country, let those little slaves below come, and our family can rest assured!" Huang Anyan replied, picked up the silver tin scroll from the silver plate: "Emperor Xiaowu receives the order!" ”
