Chapter 986 293 Centrifugal (One More)
Xiao Fang's lotus step walked gently to the front of Zhennan King, with a happy and blessed body.
She is dressed in blue cloth, without makeup, with frowning eyebrows. She looks so delicate and weak. If it was in the past, King Zhennan would have pity and comfort her, but now King Zhennan is more than half of his heart. They all fell on the young and beautiful Wei Shi.
Compared with the young Wei Shi, the little Fang Shi is actually older. Both children are already in their teens. Even if the years look down, their beauty has not diminished, but there are still some fine lines at the corners of the eyes. She could still use rouge to cover it up, but at this time, she had washed off the rouge, which made the fine lines more obvious.
King Zhennan frowned without a trace, flipped his robes, sat down on the chair of the grand master, and said straight to the point: "Today, this king just received the imperial decree..." He squinted with a condensed expression. He said to her: "The imperial decree says that you have occupied Yi's property for many years, and ordered you to return the property you occupied and all the proceeds over the years..."
Xiao Fang was shocked. She had guessed the contents of the imperial edict, but she never expected that it would be a matter of industry.
As soon as the Liu Hezhuang and Kaiyuan pawnshop incidents broke out, she had some hunch, but fortunately, Yizhi only asked one or two questions, and it didn't hurt. And she is Xiao Yi's mother after all, as long as she pretends not to know, she can't do anything about Xiao Yi, even if the property is in Xiao Yi's name, she can still hold the money tightly in her hands. Don't want to, Xiao Yi actually asked the emperor to come forward for him? !
Xiao Fang was extremely annoyed at this moment, she should have gotten rid of those people left by the old prince early, and she still left behind!
No, I blame her for being too soft-handed. If Xiao Yi had been asked to meet the old prince in the underground early, nothing would have happened now!
After thinking about it, the only thing Xiao Fang can do at this moment is to calm down the anger of King Zhennan. With tears in her beautiful eyes, she said aggrievedly: "My lord, there is no concubine..."
"You really don't have it?" King Zhennan asked with a dark face.
Last time, Mrs. Fang said that she was wronged. King Zhennan believed her because of the trust of her husband and wife for many years, but now...
The King of Zhennan said coldly: "If there is no sufficient evidence, how could the emperor issue such an imperial decree? ... How much did you hide from this king? What happened to Yi's properties?!"
What King Zhennan was really annoyed about was not how much of Xiao Yi's property Xiao Fang had occupied. After all, Xiao Fang was also Xiao Yi's mother, and it was natural for his mother to manage the property for the child. He was angry that Xiao Fang was He has been hiding from him!
King Zhennan scolded her so harshly in front of the maids, he simply didn't show her face! Xiao Fang was angry and annoyed, but he didn't dare to show the slightest on his face.
I am afraid that the matter of the industry cannot be hidden, but since Xiao Yi is so unsympathetic and unscrupulous, and disregarding his years of hard work for him in managing the industry, and exposing this matter, then don't blame her!
Mrs. Fang lowered her eyes slightly. After a while, she finally raised her head, with a resolute look on her beautiful face, and said, "My lord, now, my concubine won't hide it from you. The father, the king, was indeed on his deathbed. I have left some properties for Ayi and Brother Luan, in addition to the open source pawnshop, there are also some shops and fertile fields, these years will be managed by the concubine, but the concubine has no intention of encroaching!"
Sure enough!
"Why doesn't this king know?!" King Zhennan frowned, his face full of displeasure.
He also knew that his father had accumulated a lot of property when he was alive. He thought that after his father's death, he had already returned to the public, but he didn't expect that some of them were hidden from him!
And such a big thing, Xiao Fang has been silent all the time? !
It was in vain that I had always favored her so favorably!
At this moment, King Zhennan was not only angry, but even deeply betrayed.
Mrs. Fang calmed down and explained, "I didn't know about the concubine at first. ... Does the lord still remember Mr. Shen, who was next to his father?"
King Zhennan looked at him coldly without saying a word. The cold eyes made Xiao Fang shiver. But now, she can't avoid it anymore, she can only bite the bullet and continue: "One year after the death of the father, the director of Shen Da committed suicide. That loyalty is touching."
She carefully looked at King Zhennan's expression and said, "Three days before Steward Shen committed suicide, he came to see the concubine, and the concubine also knew about it at that time. Steward Shen said that my father Wang left most of the private property he saved during his lifetime to Ayi and Brother Luan, and half of the two grandchildren, and they will officially take care of them by themselves when they are crowned adults. Steward Shen was devoted to his death, so he asked his concubine Before the two children were adults, I helped them manage their business..."
It's taking him for a fool! King Zhennan sneered and said: "Princess, this king is the direct son of the father, and the biological father of Ayi and Brother Luan, even if Director Shen really wants someone to entrust him, why don't you come to this king? Entrusting this to you?"
Mrs. Fang hurriedly said, "Your Highness, do you remember that your father had a big fight with you before he passed away?"
Speaking of that incident, King Zhennan's face turned a little darker, and he thought to himself: Did the father still hate that incident until his death? If this is the case, then it makes sense to not entrust the property to yourself, but to a trusted confidant.
only……
Shen Guanshi is all about his father and Wang, but Xiao Fang has also concealed it from himself for so many years!
Seeing that King Zhennan was no longer asking about this, Mrs. Fang fell to her knees and sobbed, "My lord Mingjian, the concubine has always been an escrow, and has no intention of encroaching on it. The body has helped Ayi and Brother Luan survive well. After the two children are crowned, they will be returned to them... You also know that the concubine has always regarded Ayi as his own son. No selfishness."
If Mrs. Fang had said this in the past, King Zhennan would have believed it, but now, after being lied to for so many years, King Zhennan's trust in her has been greatly reduced. He looked at her suspiciously, half a smile. Said: "Princess, ah, princess, are you still coaxing this king as a fool?"
"My lord..."
Xiao Fang wanted to say more, but was stopped by King Zhennan raising his hand impatiently. He no longer wanted to listen to her continue to argue.
"In short, regardless of whether you have deliberately occupied Yi's property or not, since the emperor has now issued an imperial decree, you should quickly return Yi's share, as well as the income over the years, not a single penny..." Having said that, King Zhennan was still very unhappy. His father must have left a lot of private property to Xiao Yi, and Mrs. Fang dared to hide it from him for so many years and managed it privately. will be less!
Xiao Yi is already defiant now, and when he gets such a large sum of money, I am afraid that he will not take himself seriously.
He is the direct son of the father, and the father would rather secretly leave his private property to his grandson without letting him know, which is too much!
Mrs. Fang tightened the handkerchief in her hand, to return these golden egg-producing industries and so many years of income, it was like cutting her flesh with a knife, it was painful! Moreover, these years of income are not all in her hands. After all, the industry is in Xiao Yi's name, and a lot of money has been distributed to him from the accounts that are paid every year! Now he still wants to rob him, which is totally unreasonable.
There are also those villages, shops, and fertile fields in the south of the Yangtze River, which are difficult to buy with money now. She originally thought well that after a few years when Brother Luan became the heir, she could slowly transfer the property to her own name and leave it to Sister Fei as a dowry!
It's all gone now!
Xiao Fang endured the pain in her heart and cautiously probed: "My lord, those properties were left to Ayi and Brother Luan by the father." She deliberately mentioned Xiao Luan again, and then said, "In order to express my concubine. I have absolutely no intention of getting involved in those industries, and from my concubine's opinion, why don't I give them and all the income from the past years to Yi, what do you think?"
Zhennan Wang frowned and said solemnly, "Give it all to him? How does he know how to manage business? If you give it to him, I'm afraid that those industries will soon be wiped out. Xiao Yi and Brother Luan are both direct descendants of the father and the king. Sun, the father and the king have a will, and the property should be divided equally between the two of them."
Xiao Fang was secretly delighted in his heart, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
At any rate, it is better to give Brother Luan half of it in a straightforward manner than to be occupied by that evil species! Xiao Fang was thinking proudly, and then heard King Zhennan add, "As for Brother Luan's property, you immediately sort out the account book and hand it over to this king. Before Brother Luan is crowned, this king will personally Take care of him."
The smile in Xiao Fang's eyes "swiped" away, and her hands trembled involuntarily, and she finally managed to squeeze out her voice: "...concubine knows."
Although he is not reconciled, Mrs. Fang also knows that now he must never blame the King of Zhennan again. It is the best for this matter to pass like this...
Shi Xiaofang calmed down and thanked Yingying: "I am here to thank the prince for his love for Brother Luan."
If this was in the past, King Zhennan would naturally benefit from it, but at this moment, he only felt extremely harsh.
King Zhennan said indifferently: "Brother Luan is the son of this king, how could this king not love him?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Fang's heart skipped a beat, with a docile smile on her face, and she said, "It's the concubine who made a blunder." Now this situation is so much more wrong, even if she just said a word, I am afraid that the king of Zhennan will have it. Other ideas may arise.
King Zhennan snorted coldly, and the anger in his heart could not be quelled.
He thought that his prestige in the southern border and in the palace was absolute, but he didn't expect that not only Xiao Yi's rebellious son would betray him, but even the concubine had a second heart for him. This spread out, and he dignified the king of the south and even his own back house. I can't help it, it's really embarrassing!
The dignified princess, who is not as sensible as a side concubine, really disappointed him!
It seems that he has been so fond of her over the years that she has lost her sense of proportion! King Zhennan thought so, and said coldly: "Princess, since you have the heart to pray for the southern border, you should look like you are praying."
Xiao Fang was even more uneasy in his heart. King Zhennan had never treated himself so indifferently.
"Come here!" The King of Zhennan said in a loud voice, "Pass on the king's order, and the princess is dedicated to praying for the southern border. Naturally, it should not be too extravagant. From today, all expenses will be compared to the monks and nuns who illuminate the temple."
Xiao Fang's face froze. Although she prayed here for blessings, no one dared to ask her to do hard work. It was just to live in another place. What does the prince's order mean now? Really let her live like a nun?
King Zhennan looked at her expressionlessly, and said: "Princess, since you are so sincere, then kneel down and copy the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" a hundred times for the casualties of the southern border. Back to the palace, let’s take a good practice here!”
"My lord!" Mrs. Fang was so frightened that she cried, "I know I'm wrong, so please forgive my concubine this time... lord!"
This time, King Zhennan didn't soften his heart, but said: "If this king finds out again and you dare to make an assertion, then you stay in this Qingming Temple and don't go back."
Zhennan Wang's anger still remained, he threw his sleeves fiercely, and strode away, leaving Xiao Fang's back with no nostalgia.
Xiao Fang was both angry and anxious. Although she knew that King Zhennan would definitely be angry after this incident was exposed, she did not expect him to be so angry. As a woman, she can clearly feel that King Zhennan's affection for her is not as good as before, otherwise she would never be so heartless.
Wei Wei! It must be Wei Wei, this little slut, who is sowing discord in front of the prince!
She must find a way to coax King Zhennan back...
Back then, she was able to grab the position of Princess Zhennan from her useless cousin, but now, what is a mere Wei Wei?
She has to figure out a way...
"Princess." At this time, the host of the Ming and Qing Temple knocked on the door and walked in, and said with a salute, "The prince has a life when he leaves, let the princess live in the temple from today, and concentrate on copying the "Ksitigarbha Sutra", please ask the princess Go with Penny."
The host's attitude is alienated, and he can't see the humility and submissiveness towards him a few days ago, but it is only because the lord has a cold attitude towards him. Mrs. Fang secretly hated in her heart that she was a princess after all, so this little nun dared to be so rude!
Xiao Fang clenched his fist tightly, his face was blue and white, his chest seemed to be blocked by something, and he was suffocated.
"Princess, there are 13 chapters in the Ksitigarbha Sutra. Your lord has ordered you to finish copying it a hundred times, so please start earlier so that you can return to the palace as soon as possible."
"you……"
Xiao Fang couldn't get back up in one breath, his eyes darkened and he fell down.
"princess!"
Xiao Fang's maidservant, who was waiting in the room, shouted anxiously with bright eyes, and then instructed the abbot, "Quick, look for the doctor."
The abbot recited the Buddha, and stood there with his eyes watching his nose and his nose watching his heart, "Look at the poor nun, the princess is just tired for a while, please ask the girl to help the princess to the back temple, the pen and ink are ready, wait for the princess to wake up. After that, you can start copying.”
Mingmu felt a little cold in his heart. This Mingqing Temple was enshrined by the Zhennan Palace. The abbot's attitude towards the princess was obviously due to the prince's order.
What will the princess do in the future?
Mrs. Fang was praying for blessings in the Ming and Qing Temple, and the return date was undecided. On the other hand, the silver note sent by Xiao Yi from the capital had arrived in the southern border.
There are 50,000 taels of silver notes, which Nangong Yue gathered together in a short period of time.
As soon as he received the silver note, Tian He happily called Mo Xiuyu and Yao Lianghang over.
Mo Xiuyu looked at the large silver notes on the bookcase, and said with joy, "The money from Shizi is too timely!"
Xiao Yi ordered them to reorganize a Xuanjia army as his personal soldiers. Now that the three thousand Xuanjia army has been reorganized, they are waiting for the pay.
Mo Xiuyu used to think that 3,000 people were not many, but when he had to manage the food, clothing, and use of these 3,000 people, he would find that the feeling of these 3,000 soldiers sitting on the mountain was terrifying!
Clothes, armor, arrows, weapons, wound medicine, tents... all of them need money!
Mo Xiuyu used to think that he was a general, as long as he knew how to fight. Now that he manages and trains the Xuanjia Army with Yao Lianghang, he realizes that the potential of people is really unlimited. The potential of a nanny...
Mo Xiuyu and Yao Lianghang glanced at each other. In just over a month, the two of them felt that they were several years older... but they also benefited a lot!
Tian He picked up the thin silver notes, but felt heavy, and sighed with complex eyes: "Fifty thousand taels! A full 50,000 taels. In order to raise these 50,000 taels, I am afraid that it will not be possible. Easy."
Hearing this, Mo Xiuyu and Yao Lianghang's smiles disappeared, and Yao Lianghang said solemnly, "It's really hard for the prince."
The prince is the future king of Zhennan, and it is also very important to form his own personal soldiers. It is reasonable to say that the king of Zhennan should also support it, but their prince is narrow-minded, lest the prince will be powerful and not like passing away. His grandfather was as broad-minded, so that the prince walked with difficulty every step of the way, and now he needs to worry and trouble about this yellow and white thing.
Tian He's heart was deeper than Mo Xiuyu's. After all, he watched with his own eyes how the old prince taught and nurtured the current Zhennan King, paving the way for him step by step... I didn't expect the relationship between father and son. The difference is so big!
Tian He calmed down and didn't think about it any more, but cautiously told Mo Xiuyu: "Little Mo, although the eldest son didn't say it, the money is not easy to come by, we have to save some money and don't be extravagant. wasted!"
"This subordinate understands." Mo Xiuyu stood up solemnly, bowed to Tian He and clasped his fist.
Naturally, it is necessary to save some use. 50,000 taels seems to be a lot, but it is not enough to raise 3,000 soldiers, and it is still 3,000 elite soldiers. It's been a while.
This is no money, and it is absolutely impossible!
Tian He said with relief: "Master Shizi really worked hard! He has not forgotten us even in the capital."
The prince Xiao Yi, whom they were thinking about, was clinging to Nangong Yue at this time, and he didn't have the heroic and domineering arrogance in the southern border.
It has been forty days since Xiao Yi returned to the capital, and the one-month vacation that the emperor gave him has been used up early. However, he seems to be unconscious, clinging to Nangong Yue all day, and even the palace is too lazy.
Finally, the emperor couldn't stand it any longer, so he summoned Xiao Yi into the palace, and after some words, let him continue to lead the errand of the five city soldiers and horses.
In this way, Xiao Yi could only aggrieved and bid farewell to Nangong Yueyi early in the morning, and ran to the Wucheng Military and Horse Division to report, and on the same day, a good news from far north was also presented to the emperor's imperial case. .
"Okay, great!"
Looking at the good news in his hand, the emperor was overjoyed and praised it again and again.
Unexpectedly, the Nanman Rebellion has just subsided, and now the company commander Di has also been defeated by his great cavalry. This is really great news!
The emperor couldn't help but read the good news again, his eyes wandered over Han Huaijun's name, and a proud smile appeared in his eyes.
Han Huaijun beheaded Chang Di's general with his own hands, which was no small feat!
This is the true character of their Han family's children! The attitude of the younger brother, King Qi, towards this concubine eldest son...
The emperor's eyes flashed, and he sighed in his heart: After all, Brother Jun and his uncle make the decisions for him. A good man has already established a career, and it is time to start a family! When Brother Jun comes back, he will arrange the marriage between him and Sister Xi! Make the queen happy too.
Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Eunuch Liu took a step closer, smiled and congratulated: "It's all the emperor's sage! It seems that I can wipe out the barbarians in all directions, just around the corner!"
The emperor calmed down and smiled with emotion: "It was my Dayu soldiers who charged into the battle to defeat Changdi. It's really not easy!"
This battle between Dayu and Changdi has been going on for more than a year, and finally this hard-won victory has been won.
Over the past year, Dayu's losses are not small...
When the emperor calmed down a little from his joy, he thought of a person he had forgotten for a long time - King Chang Di Cheng.
Since the war between Dayu and Changdi, Prince Cheng has been placed under house arrest in the palace of Prince Cheng in the capital.
Next, it's time to think about how to deal with this sincere king.
There was a smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth, and he gave a few words to Eunuch Liu. Eunuch Liu also smiled, with heavy wrinkles out of the corners of his eyes, and went down to work in response.
Eunuch Liu's work efficiency was extremely high, but in just one hour, a few palace servants arrived at King Cheng's mansion with the emperor's imperial decree and a dozen boxes of rewards.
King Cheng was naturally called to kneel in the main hall to receive the decree, but his mind was blown up by the content of the decree.
how can that be possible!
His Changdi was actually defeated by Dayu? Even the illustrious General Taka was beheaded, with tens of thousands of casualties and thousands of prisoners, and if Dayu continued to go deeper, the capital of Company Commander Di would also be at stake...
These lines were repeated in King Cheng's mind over and over again. He didn't listen to the reward mentioned later in the will, and knelt on the spot dumbfounded.
The little maid who passed the decree sneered in his heart, but he deliberately said with a sharp voice: "His Royal Highness, the Emperor is gracious and merciful, and awarded these rewards, why does His Highness not thank you, is it to the Emperor..." He sneered. , a look of contempt flashed in his eyes, King Cheng can still be in the palace of this city today, but what about tomorrow?
"His Royal Highness..." King Cheng's personal servant knelt behind him and pulled King Lacheng's sleeve nervously. Only then did King Cheng come back to his senses, fell on the ground and kowtowed to thank him, then took the imperial decree with both hands high, his face Has been drooping, hiding the humiliation in his eyes.
The little waiter shrugged coldly and swaggered away.
The servant hurriedly sent a few palace servants to the entrance of the main hall.
After the palace servants left, the main hall was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling could be heard.
King Cheng still knelt stiffly on the spot holding the imperial edict, lost in spirit.
The servant hurriedly helped him up carefully, and asked worriedly, "Your Highness, are you alright?"
How could he be good! King Cheng's face has never been so ugly before. His eyes stopped at the box of rewards in the main hall that were packed in bright red wooden boxes. He felt that the red was a bit dazzling, as if it was dyed by the blood donations of Changdi's people...
Even if he was placed under house arrest by Emperor Dayu in this Prince Cheng's mansion, Prince Cheng did not despair so far.
Because he knew in his heart that as long as the battle between Dayu and Changdi did not result in a day, he would be safe in Dayu.
If Changdi wins, he can predict that he will instantly change from a prisoner to a guest, become an important pawn in the peace talks of Emperor Dayu, and even have a chance to return to Changdi again... But what he didn't expect is that Changdi lost!
How is this possible?
After being shocked, he had to worry about his future, and now whether he can survive or not depends on the meaning of Emperor Dayu.
King Cheng's eyes were covered with a thick haze...
Nangong Tsang is to blame for all this!
Back then, he was sincere to Nangong Tsang, but how did Nangong Tsang repay him?
She betrayed him, trampled on his sincerity, forcibly broke the wings of an eagle on the grassland, and was locked in this cage-like mansion of the sincerity like a fowl!
And what about her?
She even got married in a glorious way and became her wife, Mrs. Jian'an Bo!
Why?
Thinking of her, how can a woman who is so despicable, shameless, double-edged, sweet-smelling, and dilapidated live such a glamorous life now?
King Cheng pursed his thin lips, and his eyes were so dark that he seemed to come from the bottom of hell.
Nangong Tsang!
Since he's going to go to hell, he's a bit too lonely by himself, isn't it?
He smiled gloomily, and the little servant beside him was silent and didn't dare to speak at all.
