Huan Rong

After getting along with Xun You and others for a long time and accumulating rich experience, Huan Rong thought that his eloquence was not bad.However, at this moment, facing his mother's serious expression, he suddenly became speechless.

It was really unexpected that Qin Jing sent the Luanfeng hairpin during the crowning ceremony.

Based on the previous contacts, the possibility that he deliberately found fault is really too low.

Is it good to have two surnames?

Huan Rong sighed silently, this is even more impossible.

To marry or to marry?

The conditions are there, both hardware and software are lacking.

To be honest, when he saw Luanfengchai, he was also a little dazed. His first reaction was to send a letter immediately, and have a good talk with the person who made the "problem", to see if the other party's head was flooded, or he accidentally bumped into a pillar while walking up.All in all, is this something that "normal thinking" can do?

"Guar?"

Huan Rong didn't say anything for a long time, his expression changed back and forth, and his emotions and anger couldn't be broken. Princess Nankang became more and more suspicious.

Mrs. Li's eyes moved slightly, she looked carefully at Huan Rong's expression, and a thought flashed in her mind, she covered her mouth with her sleeve, and her smile was quite meaningful.

"Sister, don't rush, wait for a moment, after the gentleman sorts it out, he will tell you the truth."

Hearing this sentence, Huan Rong just wanted to smile wryly.

Tell the truth?

How to sue?

Someone from Qin is not honest, so he should give a warning in advance, so that he can know how to deal with the "incident".Fortunately, a Luanfeng hairpin was brought over, but my mother misunderstood it as finding fault, how could he explain it?

"Mother, this matter..." Huan Rong frowned, and said bravely, "I don't think the other party may have malicious intentions."

Princess Nankang's eyes narrowed slightly, "No malice?"

The pressure suddenly doubled, Huan Rong shivered Lingling.

Scary isn't it?

"My son has business dealings with the Qin family, and they have a contract with each other. The Qin family has always kept the contract. After claiming the king and taking the Yan territory, they once intercepted the rebels going south, which helped my son a lot."

Huan Rong bit the tip of his tongue, his emotions calmed down, and his thinking became clear.

"Er has an appointment with Qin Shilang, not only trading salt and grain, but also recruiting people from the Di people's jurisdiction, and recruiting strong men."

"Before returning to Jiankang, Xuyi sent a caravan to the north and entered Shangluo via Nanyang. If the plan goes well, it must have turned back by now."

"Not long after the Qin family took control of the Yan territory, they sent troops to attack the Di people and seized the land of the three counties. Due to limited conditions, even if they ordered to resume farming and rest with the people, it may not be effective in the short term. To maintain an advantage over the enemy, a large number of troops are urgently needed. Sea salt rice and wheat. [-]% will not kill the chicken to get the eggs, and give up the business with Youzhou."

"How do you know you can't?" Princess Nankang said in a deep voice, "If you can win Youzhou, why bother to buy it?"

"If the other side has the intention of provocation, or even sends troops to Youzhou, the neighboring states will definitely not sit back and watch." In order to strengthen his persuasion, Huan Rong dipped his hands in tea soup and drew a simple map on the ground to show the importance of Youzhou.

"Youzhou is located at an important point, connecting Yuzhou to the west, Qingzhou and Yanqiao Prefectures to the south, and Guangling to the south. Once Guangling is destroyed, the enemy will drive straight in, and Jiankang will be in danger."

Regardless of the status of the Jin family, it is a symbol of dynastic orthodoxy.Before successfully usurping the throne, even Huan Wen would not allow foreign enemies to invade, and would do his best to fight.

"Since the Qin family becomes king, sooner or later they will fight against Jin. However," Huan Rong paused, biting his cheek, "it won't be now."

The Qin family has strength and ambition, and will definitely have the ambition to compete in the Central Plains and unify China.

However, the meal has to be eaten bite by bite, and the road has to be walked step by step. I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.Before eradicating the Hu regime and unifying the north, it is not wise to rush into conflict with the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

This is different from personal tearing.

When wars start between countries, they must go all out, the winner will kill all, and the loser will drink hatred.

In the battle of troubled times, the heroes compete for the throne, and I will appear on the stage after you sing.In less than 200 years, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Di, Qiang, and Wusun Rouran moved southward, and established a regime that cannot be counted in two palms.

The results of it?

Most of them are like meteors passing by, and will be wiped out in just a few years.

The reason is that the foundation is not stable, and it will collapse in case of a big defeat.

"Mother, from my son's point of view, it's fine if the Qin family doesn't unify the north. Once they control the entire northern land and win the hearts of the people, there will be a battle with Jin sooner or later. And before that, [-]% of the Qin family will not act rashly."

"Why?"

"The Qin family was able to rise because it held high the banner of 'expelling the Hu thieves and restoring the Han family'." Huan Rong said in a deep voice, "Going to war with the Jin before the Hu people have completely retreated is contrary to their 'aspirations' and will definitely be unpopular. .”

Historically, Fu Jian was ambitious. After taking over the north, he quickly dispatched millions of troops, vowing to unify the world.The strength of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is not enough at all.No matter who it is, there is no suspense about the outcome of this battle.

Unexpectedly, Fu Jian lost.

Not only lost the war, but also lost the country, and finally lost their lives.

Later generations commented that the Battle of Feishui became a classic of defeating the strong with the weak and defeating the many with the few.It also achieved the name of Xie An and Xie Xuan, and made the Xie family of Chen Jun reach the pinnacle of power.After this battle, the former Qin Dynasty, which commanded the north, fell apart, and all ethnic groups rebelled one after another, and the short-term unified situation was replaced by the separatist regime.

There are many factors that cause the tilt of the balance of victory, one of which is the composition of the army of millions.

Hu people occupy a minority, and more Han people.

No matter how weak, the Eastern Jin Dynasty symbolizes "Han orthodoxy."Fu Jian sent Han people to fight in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was undoubtedly a bad move.Regardless of the wind or the wind, the outcome of the war will not conform to expectations.

Nowadays, the Qin family is facing many problems, even if they are not as serious as Fu Jian's, they cannot tolerate reckless actions.If you are not cautious enough and make a wrong step, the previous good situation will be reduced to nothing.

With the Di people entrenched on the side, the golden pair of Fu Jian and Wang Meng may "make a move" at any time.Murong Xianbei's remnant forces have not been completely wiped out, especially Murong Chui and Murong De, who defeated Goguryeo and became self-reliant.

Qin's playing in the Eastern Jin Dynasty at this time is undoubtedly a stupid move, which is equivalent to an own goal on the football field.

"In my opinion, as long as the Qin family is not in a daze, they will definitely not attack south at this time." When the other party decides to attack south, his own strength is not comparable to what it is today, so he can use his wrists.

Princess Nankang nodded, thinking that Huan Rong's words were reasonable.When the latter was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he asked again: "Then, why did the other party send this Luanfeng hairpin?"

Huan Rong: "..." Dare he be fooled by such a series of tricks, his mouth is almost dry, but he still can't get the matter out of the way?

"Since it wasn't unintentional, there must be something strange in it." Princess Nankang looked at Huan Rong, not letting go of any expression on his face, "Gua'er, tell me the truth, what is going on?"

Huan Rong has a stomachache.

"Mom, this..."

"kindness?"

"... He, that, used to..."

"what?"

"Qin Silang once recited the Book of Songs to his son."

Princess Nankang: "..." What kind of answer is this?

Just as he was about to ask again, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Which song?"

"Zhao Nan and Wei Feng." Huan Rong dared not raise his head when he said these words bravely.

"Zhao Nan, Wei Feng?"

"Yes."

The room fell into silence, only the lights flickered, and the flame core suddenly burst, making a crisp sound.

"How long?"

"Mum?" Huan Rong looked up in surprise.

"How long has this been going on?"

"months ago……"

Princess Nankang fell silent again, Huan Rong was sweating on his forehead, feeling the pressure was enormous.

The atmosphere is too tense, like a tight string that may be torn at any time.

"Sister," Mrs. Li suddenly said, breaking the solemnity of this moment, "Your Excellency's dragon and phoenix appearance is outstanding. Qin Silang and Mr. Lang have known each other for a long time, and it is not surprising that they admire each other."

"Not surprising?" Princess Nankang raised her eyebrows.

Mrs. Li nodded slightly, with a gentle smile and a soft tone, "The friendship between Boya and his son will last a hundred years. The so-called bosom friend is hard to find, if you can find a bosom friend, it might not be a bad thing."

"Bosom friend?" Huan Rong froze on the spot.

Can this be explained in this way?

Is there something wrong?

"It's just," Mrs. Li changed the subject, her smile was still gentle, but it made people feel chills down the spine, "Your gentleman is still young, and Qin Silang's move is really inappropriate. Why don't you write a letter to him and ask him to go to the secluded place?" Zhou and his party, His Highness can meet you in person."

Youzhou?

Huan Rong's eyes widened, he understood the implication in Mrs. Li's words, and suddenly felt happy.

"Mum, I'll order someone to prepare the car and drive, and I'll be leaving tomorrow!"

As long as my mother is willing to leave Jiankang, everything will be fine!

Luanfengchai?

Idiot!

If he can make this happen, he would like to thank someone instead.

Princess Nankang was surprised. When did she say she was leaving Jiankang?

Mrs. Li smiled lightly and said, "Sister, it's time to go."

Huan Da Sima will be on the road sooner or later, for Huan Rong's consideration, he will live another year or a half at most.With the elixir that Sima Daofu sent to the palace, Sima Yu might not be able to last long.

No matter who falls first, chaos will arise in Jiankang.

With the presence of Wang Xie and Xi Min, there will be no injuries, but disputes are inevitable.Empress Dowager Chu will also take the opportunity to step up to the stage, unite with one party, support Sima Yao or Sima Daozi, and regain power in Taicheng.

Jiankang was born in chaos, and the various forces competed for each other, so there was no time to plot against Huan Rong.

On the contrary, the capital is no longer stable, and military disasters may come at any time. It is not suitable for Princess Nankang to stay in the city, otherwise she will become a target and fall into danger.

Mrs. Li doesn't care who lives and who dies.

Having experienced the destruction of the country and family, he has already seen through life and death.However, she does not allow Princess Nankang to have an accident, absolutely not.

"Sister, there is news from Taicheng that the beauties in the palace are happy. The Shuyis have their own thoughts. If they stay in the city, they will be disturbed. Why not go to Youzhou to relax."

"Mother, Xuyi is different from the past, you must like it when you go!" Huan Rong said seriously.

"Besides, didn't you always want to see Yuan Feng? This time is just right. My son went out to study in his early years, and after returning to Jiankang for a short time, he went to work again, but Chang Simuen couldn't meet him. It's really..."

While talking, Huan Rong's eyes turned red, that's a pitiful one.

In order to let the mother-in-law leave Jiankang, she must give full play to her acting skills.How about selling miserably?He is happy!

Princess Nankang still felt that something was wrong, so she said helplessly, "Gua'er, I can't leave Jiankang, it's against the rules."

Even if you want to go, you should go to Gushu.

"Rules?" Mrs. Li smiled and said softly, "In this world, what rules are there?"

"Can……"

"Sister, if the lord is still the county magistrate, he must follow the rules. However, the officials have decreed that the lord has become the county lord, and his rank is higher than that of the princes. If you take my sister to Youzhou to take care of you, no one in the court will dare to say No words?" Seeing Princess Nankang's expression moved slightly, Mrs. Li lowered her voice, "Furthermore, what is Qin Silang-lord's true intentions, sister doesn't want to confirm in person?"

Whether it is good or bad, you have to face to face to see clearly.

Regarding herself, Princess Nankang may not easily nod.When it comes to Huan Rong, he will definitely consider it carefully.

Sweeping across the open wooden box, seeing the shining Luanfeng hairpin, several thoughts entangled in my mind, and finally, the heart of love for my son prevailed.

"If you want to leave, you need to send that old slave away first."

If Sima Huan doesn't leave, she may not be able to leave Jiankang.

"Sister, don't worry." Mrs. Li frowned, exhaling like blue, "Elder Sima will stay for at most two more days, no matter whether the official family approves or not, he will set off and return to Gushu."

"really?"

Madam Li nodded.

It's not easy to do it in the military camp outside the city, so when he returns to the mansion, naturally he can't let him make this trip in vain.The matter was done in secret, and Hanshi powder was used as an introduction to ensure that Huan Da Sima's illness would be like a mountain, and he would not die for a while, but he suffered more than death.

In order to avoid Princess Nankang's repentance, Huan Rong immediately stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he did not forget to hold up the wooden box and deliberately "show" it in front of his mother.

"Aunt, I will submit the form tomorrow, and please send Aunt to the fiefdom."

After the words fell, he saluted and left in a sloppy manner, his movements were crisp and quick, with the speed of the wind.

The room fell silent, Princess Nankang looked at Mrs. Li, raised her eyebrows and said, "Ah sister did it on purpose?"

"Sister, what did you say? I don't quite understand." Mrs. Li blinked innocently.

"Look at the situation, Gua'er may not be without thoughts." Princess Nankang leaned on the low couch, and said slowly, "It's not a big deal, but the Qin family... will inevitably fall into the shoes of others, which will be of no benefit to him in the future."

"Sister, although the gentleman is smart, he is still young." Mrs. Li leaned closer and said in a low voice, "That's why sister should go to Youzhou in person. With sister here, the gentleman will not suffer."

Princess Nankang closed her eyes, opened them again, and sighed.

"You are bothered."

Mrs. Li shook her head, rolled up Princess Nankang's sleeves with bare hands, her lips were slightly raised, and her long eyelashes fanned lightly, like dexterous butterfly wings.

"Without Sister, I would not have lived to this day. As long as Sister does not abandon me, I am willing to be by Sister's side in this life, in this life, and in the next life."

"You..."

Brushing the amber under Mrs. Li's ears, Princess Nankang smiled like a peony in full bloom.

Huan Rong returned to the room with the wooden box in his hand, and when he heard Ah Mi's report and learned that Huan Yi was locked in the room, he nodded in satisfaction.

"You did the right thing. Be cautious at this time, and don't make any noise."

As for Huan Xin, sooner or later there will be a chance to clean up.

"Mr. Lang, do you want to wash up?"

"Not busy." Huan Rong went to the inner room and took out the bamboo slips himself, "I want to show up to the emperor, please send my mother to Xuyi. Send someone to Qingxili tomorrow, notify everyone in the mansion, pack up and prepare to leave immediately."

Ah Mi's eyes widened, and he pinched his arm hard to confirm that he had heard correctly, his expression was full of joy.

"Also," Huan Rong spread out the bamboo slips and began to grind the ink, "Let people keep an eye on the eldest son and third brother, and report back immediately if they encounter any mistakes."

"promise!"

Ah Mi respectfully agreed, turned around and moved two three-legged lamps, ordered his loyal servants to guard the outer room, and not to disturb them easily, and then arranged for someone to make sure that when the fence gate was opened tomorrow, Qingxili would get news.

At the same time, Sima Huan suddenly had a startled dream, his clothes were drenched with sweat, and he felt thirsty, so he sat up while calling someone.

Just as the servant girl entered the inner room, she failed to turn on the light when she suddenly heard a blunt sound.Looking around suspiciously, seeing Sima Huan lying on the ground, his face turned pale.

"Master!"

"Shut up!" Huanda Sima rolled on the bed, although his mind was clear, half of his body felt numb, and his hands and feet were a little uncontrollable, "Hurry up and help me up."

The servant girl went forward with a pale face, and with great effort lifted Sima Huan and placed him on the couch.

"Pour a glass of water."

"promise!"

Just as the maidservant turned around, he heard the wind in his ear, and his chest felt cold.Looking down, a sword tip pierced through the chest cavity, and blood flowed out from the wound, instantly staining the front of his clothes red.

"Ahem...for..."

Blood spilled out of the mouth, and the servant coughed twice, before he had time to scream, he fell to the ground in an instant.His hands and feet twitched a few times, and soon he was silent.

The copper stove was placed in front of the couch, and the warm fragrance wafted away, mixed with the smell of blood, which was abrupt and pungent.

Suddenly there was a light sound outside the screen, and soon after, Xi Chao's voice came, with obvious worry, "Ming Gong, what happened?"

"Nothing." Huan Wen leaned against the couch, moved his fingers, and found that the stiffness gradually disappeared, and he could barely move freely, "Jing Xing came in, I have something to order."

"promise!"

Xi Chao walked around the screen and saw the servant girl lying in a pool of blood, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Ming Gong?"

"You make arrangements immediately, and leave tomorrow to return to Gushu." Huan Wen had no intention of explaining, "The sooner the better."

"Where is the official house?"

"Leave the city first, and I will show up." Sima Huan clenched his fingers tightly, the feeling of powerlessness struck again, and unspeakable panic rose in his heart, "I must return to my aunt as soon as possible, and I am afraid that things will change later."

Taking a closer look at Sima Huan's expression, Xi Chao knew he couldn't ask, so he immediately withdrew from the arrangement.Before leaving, he did not forget to order his loyal servants to carry away the body, clean up the blood, and light a new furnace of incense.

In Taicheng, Sima Yu lived alone in the Taiji Hall, and did not call any beauties to sleep with him.Thinking of what the Huan Mansion saw, melancholy and irritability came to my mind at the same time, tossing and turning, it was still difficult to fall asleep.

"Come on!"

An eunuch bent over and approached, watching Sima Yu's expression carefully, waiting for orders.

"King Xuan's beauty."

"promise!"

The eunuch retreated outside the palace, and within two minutes, the beauty was invited.She was wrapped in a cloak, and under the cloak was a short jacket and long skirt made of thin silk. As she walked, her delicate lotus feet were looming on the edge of the skirt, and a golden bell hung on her ankle. The sound was crisp and touching.

Sima Yu took a pill, his cheeks flushed suddenly.

The beauty was pulled onto the dragon bed, and immediately let out a coquettish cry.

The brocade tent fell, and the eunuch lowered his eyes and pushed them against the wall.Opening the dark cabinet and seeing the half-empty medicine box, I was shocked, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on the back of my neck.

Thousands of miles away, in Pengcheng County, Qin Jing stood on the porch, looking up at the bright moon hanging high, without moving for a long time.

A scops owl flapped its wings and flew towards him, seeming to recognize Qin Jing. It called "Bobo" a few times, folded its wings, and landed on his shoulder.The small head turned around, the big eyes did not blink, and the breast feathers were fluffy, obviously begging for food.

Qin Jing glanced at it, turned and went back to the inner room.

The congratulatory gift should have been delivered to Jiankang, but how did Brother Rong react?

The night wind suddenly picked up, and the ends of her hair blew lightly, like a piece of black silk.

Qin Jing went to the side of the couch, put one hand on her lap, she didn't know what to think, her eyes were deep, and her pupils were actually darker than the night.

The scops owl pounced on the lacquer plate, opened its mouth to pick up a piece of jerky, and swallowed it in two mouthfuls.The black eagle standing on the wooden frame suddenly woke up and erected the domain, obviously dissatisfied.

First the pigeon and then the screech owl, each of them came to grab the meat, and they couldn't kill it for supper. From ancient times to the present, has there ever been such an aggrieved eagle?Have it? !
