Faced with these repeated questions, Meng Yiliang was completely stunned. He never imagined that things would turn out like this.

He admitted that he did have selfish intentions, but, but, this is clearly Marquis Anyi's fault! If Marquis Anyi hadn't stepped in, forcibly robbed Nanliang's government affairs, and sow discord in front of the prince, how could he have thought of such a foolish move!

Moreover, he really did not know that Heragul would give such a vicious medicine to the war horse.

As the saying goes, those who do not know are innocent, right?

Meng Yiliang, who was lying on the execution bench, raised his head with difficulty. After being hit by the fifty military sticks, he couldn't even breathe.

He first stared at Guan Yubai angrily, then looked at Xiao Yi again, and said with tears in his eyes: "Sir, the last general and the last general knew it was wrong! But the last general never colluded with the former Nanliang royal family. , the last commander followed the old Nanwang's expedition to the north to pacify the southern border. How could he collude with the former Nanliang royal family and do something unfavorable to the southern border?! The last commander did everything for you, Shizi!"

Xiao Yi looked at him coldly, as if he was watching a clown jumping on a beam.

"Master Shizi, you are still young." Meng Yiliang continued to endure the pain with a well-intentioned look, "The one that the old prince was most worried about was you, Master Shizi, before he passed away, he deliberately recruited the last general. Go and ask the last commander to take care of you in the future. The last commander will only make this decision when he sees that you have been deceived by some traitorous villains and cannot be persuaded. The last commander knows that he is wrong. Do it this time."

Meng Yiliang was admitting his mistake, but every word and sentence sounded profound.

Well, he was entrusted by the old prince to take care of the prince on his deathbed. The prince should respect him a little bit, otherwise he would disrespect his grandfather and be unfilial.

Well, he worked hard, but unfortunately the loyal words were hard to listen to, and he couldn't persuade the eldest son to go his own way, so he took the last resort.

Well, he is a person left by the old prince. As a grandson, Shizi should take care of his grandfather's face.

Even if he made a mistake, it didn't cause any substantive consequences in the end. The Shizi has beaten him, and he has been trained, and his old face has been lost. If he continues to be aggressive, the Shizi will fail. Notoriety for indifference.

The commander also came back to his senses at the moment, hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "The last general urges the eldest son to spare General Meng Lao General Meng for the sake of his military exploits in the past!" Kneeling on the ground, a posture that Xiao Yi can't afford to kneel if he doesn't agree.

This seems to be a signal. The soldiers who came to ask for orders under Meng Yiliang all knelt down on one knee, clasped their fists with both hands, and said in unison, "I beg your son to spare General Meng!"

They also saw that what Shizi said was true, that General Meng was indeed involved in poisoning the war horse and tried to put the blame on Marquis Anyi. However, these people were all brought out by General Meng Lao. Once General Meng fell down, how could the prince reuse them again? Their future is over.

Now, Wan Wan wants to keep General Meng Lao!

They believe that as long as they ask, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, and to gain a good reputation, the prince will definitely reveal all of this!

Thinking of this, they pleaded in unison again, and these voices rumbled together.

"Ah."

Xiao Yi let out a sneer, as if to laugh at their oversight.

His casual gaze swept over the kneeling people, fell on Meng Yiliang again, and said, "General Meng, don't talk so nicely, in the end it's just your selfishness. For your selfishness, just Disregarding the lives of 50,000 soldiers in my southern border, how can this be offset by a 'wrong'?" He paused for a while, his expression became positive, and said in a cold voice, "People in the world often say 'kill the chicken to warn the monkey'. , But this prince thought that since it is a monkey problem, then killing the monkey is! General Meng, do you think so?”

Meng Yiliang felt a chill in his heart, does the eldest son really want to kill him?

He is not afraid, is not afraid that his reputation will be discredited? !

"There is no pardon for those who cooperate with the enemy and betray the country!"

These seven words, each word is sonorous and powerful, like the beat of a drum, falling on everyone's heart one by one, making people stunned.

Meng Yiliang gasped, only two words lingering in his mind——

Done!

His eyes darkened and he fainted completely.

The sun was shining hot on the top of the head, and under the sun, everyone didn't dare to make the slightest sound, even the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground continued to kneel, not daring to get up.

Only the sound of military sticks falling, one after another.

The sun is still bright, and there is no haze in the slightest.

At this time, in the Moon Resting Hall, located in the first hall of the inner palace, the sunlight fell on the bronze mirror of the dressing table in the inner room through the window, reflecting several halos.

There was something empty next to the bronze mirror. There was originally a jade carving of a unicorn giving a child, but after Xiao Yi learned that the ancient family was also involved in the sick horse, he immediately ordered the jade carving to be taken away and destroyed.

Although these things brought into the palace by outsiders in the name of gifts have been carefully checked and checked repeatedly, there is absolutely no problem, but Xiao Yi is still worried. According to his statement, he is not afraid of thieves when they enter the door.

This makes Nangong Yue somewhat unfortunate. She likes that jade carving quite a bit. When she has nothing to do, she always plays with it in her hand, but now she always feels like something is missing.

Queer on the side followed Nangong Yue's gaze, thinking silently in her heart: Does the imperial concubine like that "unicorn sending child" jade carving so much? Or should she go and get a picture of "Kirin Sending Children" for Concubine Shi Zi?

She was thinking about telling a joke to make Nangong Yue happy when she heard a rude sound of picking the curtain, and Xiao Yi strode in...

Xiao Yi changed his robes, but there was no trace of chill on his body.

Nangong Yue smiled and stood up to greet him, "Ai!"

"I'm back." Xiao Yi showed a bright smile, one step faster than her, came to her side in the blink of an eye, and pressed her back.

He skillfully squeezed the high-backed chair that Nangong Yue was sitting on, and took her in his arms.

Seeing this, Queer wisely retire.

Nangong Yue leaned against Xiao Yi's arms, her nose moved slightly, and there was a faint dampness on his body, mixed with the fragrance of saponin, which smelled very good, he should have just bathed and changed his clothes.

She vaguely guessed what must have happened today, and cast a questioning look at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi nodded. His stinky girl had a bright nose. He was worried that he was contaminated with the smell of blood just now, which would cause her discomfort.

Xiao Yi briefly talked about what happened in the Sunlight Palace and Xuyang Gate today...

Nangong Yue couldn't help sighing: "Ayi, that means that General Meng was completely used by the ancient family?"

"Meng Yiliang thinks he is scheming, and makes others play with applause," Xiao Yi taunted his lips and said, "In fact, it's just a chess piece set by Helagu of the ancient family."

When he hit the 80th Army Cudgel, Meng Yiliang finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he took all the causes and consequences of his collusion with Helagu, and emphasized that he really didn't know that the medicine would have such vicious consequences.

But so what? Even if he cried miserably in front of him, Xiao Yi would not have the slightest sympathy.

The same goes for Nangong Yue. If Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai were not vigilant, Meng Yiliang's actions would have ended up killing 50,000 troops in the southern border. How could these 50,000 lives be written off with a single sentence of "not guilty of ignorance"?

only……

Nangong Yue narrowed her eyes thoughtfully, leaned lazily in Xiao Yi's arms, and said, "Ayi, General Meng wants to push away the official son and get the chance to rule Nanliang, but the ancient family Are the people here just to provide horses for the Southern Border Army?"

As she said that, she tilted her head crookedly, always feeling that this was a bit weird.

The ancient family dared to prescribe medicine on the war horse, and once it was revealed, it would be a big sin for the whole family. What's more, it was still used such a vicious medicine, obviously not for the purpose of suppressing the Dele family, let alone for the mere gold and silver.

"My stinky girl is really smart." Xiao Yi praised diligently, while playing with Nangong Yue's fair and tender little hands, rubbing for a while, clasping his fingers for a while, and continuing to say, "You guessed right. , Naturally, the ancient family is not only for the petty profit of selling horses, they are for 'exotic goods to live in'." Xiao Yi said meaningfully.

Of course, Nangong Yue knew the story of rare goods by heart, and it became clear immediately.

The purpose of Gu Na's use of such medicine was obviously to destroy the Southern Border Army, and it was obvious who would benefit the most from doing so.

She raised her chin, looked at Xiao Yi, and said, "Nanliang Remains."

Not really! Xiao Yi gave her a strong kiss on the corner of the mouth to show his compliment, and then said, "Businessmen value profits, but Helagu of the ancient family not only wants profits, but also power."

To put it bluntly, Helagu hopes to help the former Nanliang royal family to restore the country, so as to obtain the status and wealth of the extremely noble minister.

Xiao Yi curled his lips sarcastically, and continued: "He has tried his best, after the collapse of the Nanliang kingdom, he not only received and hid the former king's grandson Modler, but also gave Nanliang's remnants one million dollars in succession. The army of two silvers funded him to restore his country. This 'horse plague' plan was proposed by Helagu, and even the plague virus of the horse plague was occasionally obtained by Helagu when he went to Changdi for business four or five years ago. , he kept it carefully over the years, and only took it out now."

Helagu was only offering small favors and benevolence, and he acted as if he was asking for others. Meng Yiliang, this idiot, was actually hooked.

If Heragu were to succeed, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Fortunately, they had seen this kind of epidemic poison with their own eyes, and the epidemic poison in Helagu's hands was obviously much weaker than the one used by the Chang Di people in the hunting palace. Can't keep up.

"It's still thanks to my concubine's foresight." Xiao Yi complimented Nangong Yue with a smile, showing a flattering look, which made Nangong Yue chuckle.

Xiao Yi's tone sounded like a joke, but it came from the heart.

A terminal illness, such as smallpox and tuberculosis, makes people smell discolored because of its lethality. Once there is an antidote, the so-called terminal illness is no different from headache and cold.

With the patent medicine that Nangong Yue has developed before, what is the fear of horse plague in this district!

Nangong Yue deliberately raised her chin and said jokingly, "How does the eldest son plan to reward his merits and deeds?"

Xiao Yi heard the words, a pair of peach blossom eyes sparkled, and he didn't know what "good" idea he had in mind.

Sure enough, in the next instant, Xiao Yi said excitedly, "What do you want from Concubine Shizi? Jewelry, or Grange Shop real estate, or..." He deliberately paused and blinked playfully, the originally normal man The tone suddenly became delicate, "Or, Yu Yi'er 'serving' the prince's concubine?"

serve? As she sees it, it's all about tossing her. The corners of Nangong Yue's mouth suddenly stiffened. She glanced at the empty dressing table from the corner of her eyes. She thought of something, and she hurriedly said, "Ayi, isn't Nanliang a prolific jade? I see the unicorn sent by Lishaluo. The carving of the gift child is good, and the carving skills are different from our Dayu. It looks very unique. Why don't you give me some jade carvings? I can wear and display them myself, or give them to me Several aunts and sisters in the mansion..."

Xiao Yi responded with a sullen response and blinked, meaning, are you sure you don't want Yi'er to serve?

Nangong Yue coughed dryly, trying to divert his attention, and asked, "Ayi, Gu's... I mean, what will happen to the Lisara girl?" She sighed a little bit, a little bit Sigh, "When I saw Lisha Luo in the Jade City that day, I didn't see that she approached us for such a purpose. Although her speech and behavior that day were a little rushed, she was full of enthusiasm. I thought she was trying to revive the family business..."

In this world, women are not easy. Originally, Nangong Yue still had some appreciation for Li Shaluo, but she didn't want her to look away.

Xiao Yi curled his lips sarcastically, and said: "The Gu Na family claims that women in the family have the opportunity to be the head of the family, but in their heart they prefer to choose a man as the heir, the eldest son of the ancient family is actually the next head of the family. No. The head of the house is nothing more than a 'carrot hanging before the donkey'."

After all, the ancient family wanted to let the donkey die for the carrot that he could never eat, so how could the donkey know such a big secret?

Xiao Yiman said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter whether she is sincere or fake, it doesn't matter. The evidence of what Helagu committed is conclusive, and the Gu family can't get rid of it this time."

Since Helagu dared to collude with Nanliang Yu Xie, he must have known that he would end up today. Since he is a patriarch willing to risk the whole family's life, why should he be polite to him? !

Moreover, it can also be used to give a warning to the other big families in Nanliang, so as not to treat them so leniently that they don't know who is in charge of Nanliang now!

A cold light flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes, but when he looked at Nangong Yue, he turned into a bright smile, "Ayue, let's not talk about these disappointing things? How are you doing today? Our family is still alive. obedient?"

As he said that, his left hand had gently covered Nangong Yue's still flat abdomen, and his voice softened a little, as if he was afraid to startle the child in Nangong Yue's womb.

Nangong Yue is very used to it. Ever since she was confirmed to be pregnant, Xiao Yi has been talking to the child in her womb every day without a word.

Although it is already a routine inquiry every day, the person who asks is not annoying, and the person who answers is not annoying. Every time there is an indescribable expectation, this is their treasure.

The young couple looked at each other and smiled, and accidentally revealed a silly smile.

Nangong Yue put her right hand on Xiao Yi's big palm and said with a smile, "Ayi, Nan Nan is very good."

This child is really good, so far, she has never tossed her as a mother.

As long as she is responsible for getting enough sleep every day, eating well, and raising the baby at ease.

Xiao Yi smiled even brighter, his brows couldn't hide the joy, he kissed her cheek, and said without modesty: "Ayue, our family is really good! In the future, I will teach her to bow and horse, ride and shoot. You teach her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and when our daughter grows up, you can not only help me manage military affairs, but also help you take care of the central feeder..."

Ah Yue can spend more time with herself. Xiao Yi thought happily.

The corners of Nangong Yue's eyes twitched. She was only two months pregnant, and it would take more than half a year to give birth. He had already found an errand for his unborn daughter. One moment he told her to be the queen, and another moment he let her take care of her. In the middle of the feeder, they also need to be able to write and be able to martial arts, and have all kinds of martial arts... If their daughter is scared away, what should they do... Bah Bah! How could I be misled by this guy again!

The two of them were talking nonsense with each other, and the time flashed by in this faint warmth.

Outside the Xuyang Gate, the dozens of soldiers who came to ask for orders were still kneeling there, from day to night... until they couldn't hold on and fell to the ground, they were dragged away.

As for Meng Yiliang, after receiving a hundred military sticks, he was dragged to death row, waiting for Xiao Yi's order.

And in the city of Wuli, there was a huge wave of noise...

How could the fact that the ancient family was confiscated by the Southern Border Army was concealed from the eyes of others? It didn't take half a day to spread the word throughout Wuli City.

For a time, the whole city was shaking and people were panicking.

It was obviously sunny weather, but in the eyes of the people in the city, it seemed to add a layer of thick dark clouds, and even the air seemed to be filled with a depressing and dull atmosphere, with a chilling air.

The whole Wuli City was speculating about what Prince Zhennan's move meant.

Since the Southern Border Army broke down the city, there has been no massacre, no burning, killing and looting, and no acts of rape. This is obviously a well-disciplined army. After a period of time, the people of Wuli City are still living as usual...

Now that almost half a year has passed, the prince of Zhennan suddenly took the first family in Nanliang, the ancient family, which made many families in Nanliang have to worry. Will this be just the beginning? Are they?

In this kind of uneasy speculation, the air in Wuli City became heavier, the whole city was silent, but no one dared to make a noise, just imagine that even the tens of thousands of troops from the previous dynasty were defeated in the southern border. Under the iron hoofs of the army, what can they do with the helpless commoners, they can only be wise and protect themselves.

Xiao Yi didn't care what happened to Wuli City. After inspecting Gu's house, he issued a series of orders to directly disband the three battalions of Tabai, Modao and Daji under Meng Yiliang.

There are 10,000 people in these three battalions, and they all bear the traces of "Meng Yiliang". If there are still three battalions, even if someone else takes over, it will be difficult for them to be really obedient. It is too wasteful to return to the field, after all, this is a full 10,000 well-trained soldiers.

Therefore, at the suggestion of Guan Yubai, Xiao Yi simply scattered the ten thousand people and organized them into other battalions. Each battalion could be divided into a few hundred people at most. Their comrades-in-arms live together and train together, so that Meng Yiliang's influence on them will be minimized.

The more than a dozen generals who provoked mutiny in the military camp that day all resigned from their posts until the military law dealt with them.

As for Meng Yiliang, the culprit, who was ordered to be beheaded for public display, and the Meng family who was dismissed from all military positions, all of this happened in just two days.

Military orders are like mountains, military law is ruthless!

Under Xiao Yi's iron-fisted policy, all the families in Nanliang surrendered one after another, and did not dare to make small moves in private.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Guan Yubai announced several new policies that had been prepared for a long time in succession to win the hearts and minds of the people.

After waiting and watching for so many days, the surrounding small countries finally couldn't sit still. Several countries sent envoys while Xiao Yi was still in Nanliang...

At this time, the royal capital, which is thousands of miles away, is about to usher in the palace exam.
