The study was silent, only the sound of Guan Yubai's knuckles tapping on the desk.
Guan Yubai pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes, met Xiao Yi's eyes, and said slowly: "Spring is coming, this is actually a good opportunity."
"How do you say?" Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and asked while rubbing his chin.
Guan Yu's white and warm eyes flashed with a gleam, and said, "Ayi, people in Shilin pay attention to the difference between descendants and concubines, especially these literati students who have not been soaked in officialdom, most of them are full of enthusiasm and anger. The haired generation..."
Xiao Yi's heart moved, Xiaobai didn't plan to...
"There is a saying: The system of direct descendants was originally set up for the emperor and the princes to follow the law, and if the officials below this system are used, they will not be the king's line but the clan line, so the patriarch's law will be born." Guan Yu Bai Zuijiao With an almost sly smile, "Ayi, what if this year's Spring Festival is this year's theme?"
Xiao Yi fondly patted his hands and praised: "This idea is interesting."
Based on his understanding of his father-in-law, no, ahem, he knew those students. For those students who read Confucius and Mencius since childhood, the so-called orthodoxy, loyalty and filial piety are the beliefs they hold in their hearts, like a towering tree. Unshakable like a tree...
Once this topic is provoked, it will inevitably cause the students to focus their attention on the present court. A little trouble will set off a wave of waves among these students, so the emperor can use this to exert his strength!
Under the huge wave of the general trend and the aspirations of the people, those courtiers who have ulterior motives in their hearts may not dare to risk the world. In case of being crowned with a big hat that does not distinguish between descendants and concubines, and then being criticized by those students, I am afraid that this crime will be implemented, and it will be known to the world, and it will be despised by the people of the world...
In this way, not only can the crown prince be established logically, but also the help of Shilin can be obtained for the weak fifth prince. In today's imperial examination, after the Spring Festival, many outstanding people will enter the official career. They will personally participate in this battle of succession, and will be more trusting and loyal to the Fifth Prince in the future.
but--
"such a pity……"
Xiao Yi pouted and said.
The emperor is surrounded by elm heads, and I am afraid no one can think of this. If Guan Yubai was still in the capital, he would be able to persuade one or two, but if Guan Yubai, who is far away in the southern border, still talks about court affairs, it will only make the emperor suspicious, and he will not be able to get involved in this matter. .
But now, it is in their best interest to settle the Lichu affairs as soon as possible.
Guan Yubai smiled slightly, although Xiao Yi just sighed a pity, he already understood what he meant and said, "Ayi, as far as this matter is concerned, we are not without help in Wangdu."
Meeting Xiao Yi's thoughtful eyes, Guan Yubai continued, "I'm afraid you'll have to trouble Ayi's father-in-law to take action..."
The Nangong family is an aristocratic family of scholars, and has always maintained orthodoxy. Nangong Xin is also the companion of the fifth prince. For the Nangong family, if the other princes are in power, even if they will not deal with the Nangong family in a short period of time, but the Nangong family. The family will also become a thorn in the eyes of the new emperor, a thorn in the flesh, and will be in danger in the future.
Xiao Yi was instantly connected, and thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.
He didn't speak for a while, but when he raised his eyes again, he smiled. He looked indecent on the outside, but in fact he had already made up his mind.
Success or failure, always give it a try!
If it doesn't work, they must find a way to move the Nangong family to the southern border, so as not to be involved in the whirlpool of seizing the throne.
Thinking about it, he spreads out the paper and grinds it, writing straight.
After a while, a white carrier pigeon flew out from Bixiaotang and headed north...
Calculate the time, the carrier pigeon should be able to reach the southern border in three days, and then it will be sent to the Nangong Mansion by a reliable person.
It just depends on whether the Nangong family can persuade their indecisive emperor to revise the exam questions of the meeting before the spring.
Watching the carrier pigeons fly away, Xiao Yi said with a smile: "It's better to hit the sun if you choose a day. We just sent a batch of war horses from Nanliang this morning. Let's go and have a look."
Nanliang horses have strong legs and feet, suitable for long-distance travel, gentle in character, intelligent, and extremely alert. They are the best choice for war horses. So after Nanliang was defeated, Xiao Yi ordered people to buy good horses. .
These horses are for rationing camps.
Now that the cavalry battalion has been expanded from 1,000 to 3,000 people, not only is the newly formed cavalry in urgent need of good horses, but also according to Guan Yubai's plan, each cavalry of the cavalry battalion must be equipped with two or three spare horses , in order to ensure the marching speed during the attack, thereby strengthening the combat capability of the cavalry battalion.
Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai placed high expectations on the Youqi Camp, training them to use tactics such as long-range shooting, lure the enemy, vigilance, detour and flank, and even use scimitars, spears and other weapons to fight in close combat... After this After nearly two months of training, the Youqi Camp has begun to take shape.
Coupled with this batch of war horses... Imagining the Yuqi Camp after the formation of the future, the two of them couldn't help but gleam.
They had just mounted their horses at Dongyi Gate and were about to leave the racecourse when they heard a panting voice from behind: "Big brother, big brother..."
Fu Yunhe came in a hurry and said with a sigh of relief: "Big brother, fortunately you haven't left yet." He took a breath and said, "Big brother, Hou Ye, Nuhar wants to see big brother, saying that he is willing to cede the lake sacrifice city again. and sent his eldest son, Esno, to Luoyue City as a proton."
Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai glanced at each other. These days, the conditions proposed by Nuhar were better than once, and now they are even more desperate.
However, just adding the area around Lake Festival City is not enough!
Xiao Yi said lazily: "Xiao Hezi, I'm busy with other affairs and I don't have time to see him, you go and tell him, let him think about it carefully, the opportunity will never come back, there is no regret medicine in this world! "
After he finished speaking, he grabbed the horse's belly and left Bixiaotang with Guan Yubai, and went to the horse farm outside the city.
This batch of good horses sent from Nanliang has a total of 5,000 horses. This Nanliang horse is slightly shorter than the BMW of Dayu, but it is of medium stature, but it has a beautiful body and well-developed limbs and tendons.
Xiao Yi, Guan Yubai, and Xiao Si randomly picked a few horses to test, and after running around the racecourse for a few laps, they were still a little unfulfilled.
And what boy doesn't love BMW!
Xiao Yi picked a docile mare from them and planned to give it to Nangong Yue, while the rest would be sent to the Youqi Camp after recharging their energy.
He couldn't wait to present the treasure and brought the mare back to Bixiao Hall with great interest.
When the servants of Bixiaotang saw a docile mare brought back by the eldest son, they immediately guessed who the horse was for.
Grandpa Shizi and Concubine Shizi really are deeply in love!
Under the envious eyes of the servants, Xiao Yi returned to his and Nangong Yue's yard, but as soon as he entered the door, Thrush came out and said, "Master Shizi, Concubine Shizi and Mrs. Lin are going to see the third girl together."
Xiao Ni? ! Xiao Yi frowned slightly, then came out of the room and went around from the right to the back. From a distance, I saw the door of the room being opened from the inside, and Lin Jingchen and Nangong Yue came out of the wing.
The grandparents and grandchildren were discussing Xiao Ni's condition, so they didn't see Xiao Yi.
After these days of treatment, Xiao Ni has basically quit her addiction to Wuhe Ointment, but since all the medicines only play a supporting role, what Xiao Ni has experienced during this period can be described as worse than life. Death, and therefore, her body was seriously deficient. Even if you quit the five-harmonious paste, you will need at least a month or two of recuperation before you can barely take care of yourself like an ordinary person.
"Grandfather, it's really thanks to you this time." Seeing Xiao Ni, who had almost withered before, gradually regained its vitality, Nangong Yue still felt like a dream.
Lin Jingchen's brows furrowed, his steps stopped for a moment, and he said sternly: "Yue'er, compared with Miss Xiao, the illness of the Fifth Prince may be more troublesome..." After a pause, Lin Jingchen analyzed carefully, "The fifth prince's headache is restrained by Wuhe ointment, and Wuhe ointment is addictive, which means that if the fifth prince wants to quit medicine, he must first cure his headache, otherwise, one link will be linked. I'm afraid that Wuhe ointment has not been given up, and the combination of addiction and headache will make his condition worse..."
Nangong Yue's expression became solemn when she heard this, but in fact, this was not what she was worried about.
Lin Jingchen continued: "Yue'er, I have drawn up a prescription these days, which can control the addiction of Wuhe ointment a little, and temporarily allow the fifth prince to try it first."
Nangong Yue's eyes lit up, just as she was about to respond, she suddenly saw a familiar and tall figure in front of her, standing under the willow tree and looking at herself with a smile.
"Ai!"
Nangong Yue blurted out, subconsciously speeding up her pace, but then thinking of Lin Jingchen beside her, she slowed down again, with a faint smile on her face.
Lin Jingchen watched from the side, and stroked his beard amusingly.
Xiao Yi's smile became even brighter. Under the sun, there seemed to be a sea of stars in those beautiful peach blossom eyes, which made Nangong Yue almost stunned.
Xiao Yi stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Lin Jingchen. Lin Jingchen looked at the little children and said with interest, "Ayi, I also invited your grandfather to play chess, so I will leave first. Let's talk slowly."
Nangong Yue's face was stained with a red glow, and she hurriedly ordered Baihui to send Lin Jingchen.
Xiao Yi couldn't wait to pull up Nangong Yue's hand and said, "Ayue, come with me, I have something good to show you."
For the spring hunt, Xiao Yi had already sent Nangongyue horse whips and jewelry one after another. Seeing his expression and tone, Nangongyue knew that he was going to give him gifts again.
Nangong Yue was still a little surprised when she saw the Nanliang horse outside the study, which looked very different from the Dayu horse, and her eyes widened in surprise. Xiao Yi talked about the benefits of the Nanliang horse as if offering a treasure. Finally, he said, "Ayue, this Nanliang horse is short and has a sensitive and docile temperament. It is suitable for your girl's family. You can try riding it slowly, but don't take it with you this spring hunting."
It also takes a certain amount of time to get used to horses and people, and Xiao Yi didn't dare to let Nangong Yue ride a strange horse to the hunting ground at will.
Nangong Yue took a piece of candy from Thrushi's hand, fed it to the mare, and happily responded.
Seeing that she liked it, Xiao Yi was even more proud and suggested, "Ayue, how about we try riding?"
Nangong Yue looked at the Ru skirt on her body, and the corners of her eyes twitched. Yi is still the same, saying that wind is rain. Originally, it would be okay for her to go back and change into a riding outfit and try riding again, but...
"Ayi, in a while, several stewards will report back and forth about the arrangements for the carriage, manpower, guards, etc. on the day of the spring hunting. I'm afraid I will be busy for a while. Why not tomorrow?" She said helplessly.
It's for the spring hunt again... Xiao Yi's whole face turned black, this time the spring hunt really took up a lot of time for his stinky girl. It's better that this guy Xiao Fei gets married as soon as possible, so that the stinky girl will not have to work for her again in a few days!
Xiao Yi unwillingly took Nangong Yue's hand and tried to act coquettish, but after a sticky cup of tea, Nangong Yue left "ruthlessly".
Looking at Concubine Shizi's disappearing back, Xiao Yi almost wanted to look in the mirror and feel sorry for himself, he is not old yet!
In the midst of Nangong Yue's busyness and Xiao Yi's grievances, April 12 finally arrived, which was the day of spring hunting set by the palace.
Early in the morning, the first rays of dawn lit up Luo Yue City amid the crowing of cocks.
The palace has been busy for a long time. When the sun is not bright, the servants start to prepare for the trip. Those servants who can follow the master to go out are light and radiant, and the same is true in Nangong Yue's yard. , the little maids were as excited as the birds that were about to be released from the cage.
After breakfast, Xiao Yi, Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei came out of the main room.
Today, Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei both put on their newly-made riding clothes. The two girls, who were usually elegant and delicate, suddenly looked heroic under the background of the riding clothes, and they felt a little bit like a tiger girl.
Thrush and Queer followed behind, trying hard to hold back their laughter. Seeing that the prince and the eldest girl were guarding both sides of the prince and concubine like door gods, the two brothers and sisters secretly despised each other.
Xiao Yi pouted, thinking to himself: Even if he and Ah Yue have breakfast, and there is one more person for him, this Xiao Fei is too scornful! But don't get married!
Xiao Fei naturally saw his brother's dislike, but he was too lazy to pay attention to him. When he was away, she accompanies her sister-in-law for meals. Why should her brother give in when he comes back? !
Just as the brothers and sisters looked at each other with disgust, the group walked all the way to the ceremonial gate of the palace...
From a distance, I could see that a lot of people had gathered at the gate of ceremonies. The girls and the sons were chatting excitedly. The palace had not gone out for spring hunting for many years, let alone such a large-scale spring hunting.
When Xiao Yi and the others approached, several young masters and girls came to salute one after another: "I have seen my eldest brother and sister-in-law."
While Xiao Rongxuan and Xiao Rongying were blessed, they glanced at Xiao Fei who was beside him, and secretly regretted it, why didn't he think of going to Bixiaotang and sister-in-law first? !
The thought just flashed by, and the two of them were quickly distracted. A woman came to report that King Zhennan and Concubine Wei were coming this way.
So, everyone adjusted their clothes and prepared to salute the King of Zhennan.
But Nangong Yue got more information——
"Prince Prince, the prince has temporarily added a carriage, and Aunt Mei is also here."
Mother Luo, who came to report, had some headaches. Originally, the quota for Spring Hunting's accompanying party, whether it was the master or the servant, was pre-determined, and it was arranged by reporting to Bixiaotang. With the addition of a concubine Mei, it seems that she is only one person, but the corresponding carriages, servants, guards, tents, etc. must be equipped with it...
Xiao Yi frowned and said impatiently, "You can handle this trivial matter by yourself."
Xiao Yi looked at Nangong Yue distressedly, that is, his stinky girl was so good-natured that she was hands-on with everything, so that these servants would bother her with trivial matters.
Nangong Yue never refuted Xiao Yi's face, and kept smiling.
Mother Luo responded repeatedly and hurriedly withdrew.
At this time, King Zhennan brought his side concubine Wei, Aunt Mei and the others approached. Next to King Zhennan were Guan Yubai, Master Xiao San and others.
Next, everyone greeted each other for a while.
Now that everyone has arrived, King Zhennan took the lead in getting on the horse in high spirits, and then ordered to set off...
People get on the carriage, get on the carriage, and get on the horse.
Nangong Yue smiled and said to Xiao Fei, "Sister Fei, I plan to ride a horse with your elder brother, do you want to come with us?"
Xiao Fei really wanted to agree, but she has always been fond of writing and not good at martial arts, and her riding skills are really average. She couldn't get on the stage, so she shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law, I'd better take a carriage."
Xiao Rongying originally planned to follow Xiao Rongxuan on the carriage, but when she saw Nangong Yue got on the horse, she changed her mind temporarily, and asked the maid to pull the horse over, and said, "Sister-in-law, I will ride like you." Xiao Rongying I was actually a little surprised. I originally thought that my sister-in-law was from a scholarly family, but she likes to invite chess, calligraphy and painting just like her sister Xiao Fei on weekdays. Then today, I have to let my sister-in-law see what I can do.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Rongxuan's face turned blue and white, but getting off the carriage now would be too flattering.
After a while, everyone set off from the gate of the palace, all the way to the direction of the city gate.
The team of the palace was already strong, and the guards of the palace carefully guarded the front and back, which immediately attracted countless people to watch on both sides of the street.
Many people know the king of Zhennan and the eldest son Xiao Yi, but they have never seen the rumored concubine. Distinguished.
The two rode on two horses, one black and one red, respectively, without any intimacy, but one look and one expression could reveal the tacit understanding between each other.
This young lady must be the imperial concubine!
Seeing how Concubine Shizi and Shizi Ye are neck-and-neck, she really looks like a talented man and a girl, it's really a perfect match!
The people were whispering one by one, looking very excited.
A group of chariots and horses soon came to the vicinity of the city gate.
The other prefectures participating in the Spring Hunting have already been waiting there. Most of the southern borders are military commanders. The children of the commanders are all wearing bright riding uniforms and sitting on horses with their heads held high. Many girls’ families are also like Nangong. Yue Ban directly abandoned the carriage and got on the horse.
At first glance, among the knights, women actually accounted for about 30%. This is a scene that cannot be seen in the spring hunt in the capital.
Looking at those heroic women, Nangong Yue couldn't help the corner of her mouth twitching slightly, being able to ride a horse galloping under the blue sky and white clouds like now is really a great joy in life!
Seeing the arrival of King Zhennan and his party, the people from all the prefectures immediately became agitated, all got off the carriage and horse, and went forward to salute together.
"See the prince, the prince." The crowd shouted loudly.
Seeing that everyone bowed their heads to him, King Zhennan seemed to be in high spirits and was in a great mood, and loudly signaled them to abstain from the ceremony.
As a result, Chunhun's team became even stronger, and hundreds of people headed for the west of the city with the motorcade of Zhennan Wangfu as the center...
On the official road, passers-by all avoided both sides, the carriages and horses traveled all the way, and the gray and white eagle rushed forward for a while, and then turned back suddenly, on the heads of Xiao Yi, Nangong Yue and Guan Yubai. From time to time, they circled in a circle, making a light and crisp eagle cry, as if urging them to hurry up...
Looking at the two eagles soaring freely in the air, Nangong Yue's mood couldn't help but become more relaxed, and exchanged glances with Xiao Yi, both of them were pinching their horses' stomachs, speeding up a little.
The warm spring breeze came towards them, gently brushing the hair of the two of them, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of spring flowers.
Nangong Yue's riding skills are now very superb. She knows how to swing her body along with the horse's running, which not only relieves her own fatigue, but also reduces the horse's burden. Therefore, she has been out for nearly two hours with the team galloping. , she still did not change her face, she rode her horse with ease, while admiring the beautiful scenery along the way.
In front of you, you can already see stretches of mountains. In the hazy blue sky, it looks like a dream. Just looking at it from such a distance makes people feel like they have forgotten the troubles of the world.
Seeing Nangong Yue's joy, Xiao Yi said from the side, "Ayue, I have been to Qingyuan Mountain. It is even more beautiful than the previous mountains. We should be able to reach Qingyuan Mountain around dusk today."
Nangong Yue replied with a smile, her obsidian-like eyes shone with crystal brilliance in the sunlight.
