The Peach Blossoms of the Lone Star of Tiansha

In the middle of winter, the capital snowed heavily.

The old emperor had a new funeral, and before the full seven days, the new successor couldn't wait to announce to the world that the emperor had changed, and he was the rightful next-generation master of the world.

According to the old system, only one year after the death of the old emperor, the new emperor can officially ascend the throne and change the country name.But Nangong Yao was so impatient that he almost forgot about the old system. Apart from his brain being broken, it was probably because he had been under siege for too long, so he jumped the wall in a hurry.

Liancheng sat in his tent, holding a small warm stove in his hand, still feeling cold all over.

After they received Nangong Yao's edict, they immediately set off and returned to the capital. They hurried to the outskirts of the capital within [-] days, and at the same time they brought General Song's [-] troops.

Nangong Yao was scared when he saw the army, and he was so frightened that he closed the gate of the city tightly, saying that they wanted to seek power and usurp the throne.He hid in the city and dared not come out.

Regarding his accusation, Nangong Huang was noncommittal.I just discussed with General Song to surround the capital into a dead city, so that not a single fly could fly out.

Then he took out a secret edict, which clearly stated that the third prince, Nangong Huang, would inherit the Datong, and it also stamped the emperor's personal seal.

Of course Nangongyao refused to acknowledge this secret edict, and was so angry that he said that his third younger brother was a wolf with ambition, and dared to forge the late emperor's edict, and now he is leading troops to besiege the city, it is absolutely audacious!

Nangong Huang did not show any weakness here, and directly pointed out that the death of the old emperor might have something to do with Nangong Yao.It was almost impossible to say that Nangong Yao had usurped the throne by murdering his father!

Two people, you pour me dirty water, and I will return you a basket of knives.Obviously they are all princes and nobles, and they are no different from ordinary people when they talk about it. It's really dumbfounding.

But after talking for a long time, the situation became more and more tense, and later it developed to the point where everything was in danger.

They have been besieging the city for more than a month without knowing it, people in the world have been discussing the matter of the imperial brothers' siege of the wall, almost becoming a laughing stock.

Nangong Huang stayed put and didn't dare to rush into the city, presumably because his teacher was unknown and he was afraid of infamy.

But it's not a solution to keep stalemate like this. Presumably, Nangong Yao in the city also thinks the same way, so after the two brothers had enough arguing, Nangong Yao suddenly proposed a solution that made people laugh and cry.

He asked Nangong Huang to take his edict to the north city wall at noon three days later. At that time, he would ask three ministers who were familiar with the late emperor's handwriting to personally identify which edict was true!

As long as anyone's share is identified as true, whoever will inherit the throne.

This approach sounds ridiculous at first glance, and it is obviously beneficial to Nan Gongyao. After all, the wealth and lives of all the ministers are tied to him alone at this time.

But Nangong Huang actually agreed.

Nangong Yao was not shameless either. Since it was his idea, in order to show fairness, the candidates for these three ministers were drawn up by Nangong Huang, and he would never intervene.

At any rate, this can be regarded as a win, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty must be cherished in selecting three people.

Yin Hanshang was the first to be picked out. Although he was occasionally tactful, he had a good character, not to mention that he was Yin Mochu's father, and he belonged to the faction of the third prince.

Then came Guozijian Jijiu Zhou Tang, this man was famous for his uprightness, even if a knife was on his neck, he would never go against his heart and utter half a lie.

But the third place is not easy to choose. Yin Mochu proposed to choose Lian Qingyan as the chief assistant of the court. After all, when the late emperor was around, he was the most favored and trusted person. In addition, he was Liancheng's father, so he would definitely stand by Nangong Huang's side. .

But Liancheng objected as soon as he heard it, and the reasons he gave were too simple and rude:

"My father has always been the most spineless person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. If you really choose him, I am afraid that he will turn against him without a few threats from His Highness. At that time, he will miss a big deal, and it will be troublesome."

"Hmph! If Mr. Shoufu is as unbearable as you said, he must not be able to sit in the position of being under this person. Lian Ziyu, if you are afraid of hurting your father, just say it, why belittle your father like this, Make people look down upon!"

"That's right. I'm just afraid of hurting my father, right? Just because you're eager to push your father out to take risks, doesn't mean I have to be as unfilial as you."

Liancheng simply admitted it directly, and the choked Yin Mochu had nothing to say for a while, and could only stare at him bitterly.In the end, it was Nangong Huang who smoothed things over:

"Ziyu doesn't want to, so he doesn't want to. Even adults are too old to take such a big risk. I think the last candidate is Uncle Wuhuang."

The five emperor uncles that Nangong Huang spoke of were Prince Xi, the fifth younger brother of the late emperor, and a well-known virtuous king at that time.

What's more, he has always admired Nangong Huang the most, and I heard that he loved Nangong Huang's mother and concubine Wen Guifei even more, so it is naturally very appropriate to choose him.

Yin Mochu didn't talk nonsense, and reluctantly agreed to the arrangement.

The list of candidates was sent to the capital by envoys, and Nangong Yao soon heard back.

It was agreed that at noon on the third day, we would see each other on the north city wall.

In the end, he specifically mentioned that as a show of sincerity, he did not bring the imperial guards, but only two attendants, and hoped that his third brother would also keep his promise.

Nangong Huang naturally ignored him.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and around noon, Nangong Huang took Yin Mochu and Lian Cheng up to the north city wall as promised.

Under the clear sky and blue sun, Nan Gongyao was wearing a luxurious sable long jacket, waiting there with a few people.

But what Liancheng didn't expect was that besides the three elected witnesses, there was also his father Lian Qingyan.

His complexion changed instantly, he never expected such a situation, so he could only subconsciously say:

"father--"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard the very familiar reprimand:

"Don't call me a rebellious son! It hurts my heart to hear your voice as a father!"

"..."

"How did my father teach you back then! As my family member, you must be loyal to the king and the country. Look what you have done now!? Leading troops to besiege the capital! You are so capable! Do you want to be a traitor!?"

"..." Tsk!It seems that my father took refuge in the First Prince very thoroughly for his own sake!

Liancheng muttered something in his heart, and at the end he really wanted to ask: Dad, when did you say that! ?You have never taught me this since I was a child! !

But looking at his father's expression, he still swallowed this question wisely.Nangong Yao on the side also acted in awe-inspiring manner:

"Lian Shiweng, the current conclusion is inconclusive, Shiweng doesn't have to favor me so much."

"What conclusions are not conclusions! Your Majesty, you are orthodox. It is these rebellious ministers and thieves who are provoking troubles. They are ambitious and brothers fight against each other. They have no regard for human relations, so shameless!!"

Hearing his father use a series of parallel comparisons in a row, so plausible, if it wasn't for the wrong timing, Liancheng would have wished to give his own father a round of applause and cheers!

But after all, he is from Nangong Huang's side, so it would be too much to undermine the situation.

So he held back in the end, kept his mouth shut and said nothing.

But when Lian Qingyan saw that his words were so beautiful and no one applauded, he felt lonely and unwilling to reconcile, so he asked Liancheng coldly and angrily:

"Why don't you talk, you rebellious son! Do you think your father taught me wrong!?"

"No." Liancheng was almost convinced by his father's unreasonableness, so he could only say aggrieved:

"Didn't you just say that you don't want to hear my voice? My heart hurts when you hear it. My son loves you and is filial to you."

Lian Qingyan was once again choked by his son's words, and glared at him for a long time, unable to think of a response.

Or the other people on the side really can't understand this pair of wonderful father and son. It's hard for others to say, Prince Xun has a noble status, so he said coldly:

"Let's gossip. We are not here to witness the farce of your father and son meeting! We are here for business! Please, Your Highness, please issue the late emperor's last edict. We will read them one by one and see for ourselves."

Prince Xun is the emperor's uncle after all, and he has the name of a virtuous king. Naturally, both of them wanted to give him some face, and each produced their own wills.

The first person to investigate was naturally Prince Xi, who compared the two edicts for a long time.Finally, he closed his eyes and opened them again before pointing to Nangong Huang's and saying:

"This handwriting is the real handwriting of the emperor, I will not admit it wrong."

The first person turned against Nangong Huang, which was a good start.Yin Mochu looked a little better.

Nangong Yao was not in a hurry.He just raised his eyebrows, and asked Zhou Tang of the Guozijian Jijiu:

"According to Lord Zhou's opinion?"

Zhou Tang also stepped forward, carefully identified the two wills, and finally pointed to the eldest prince's and said:

"In my opinion, this edict is written by the late emperor."

"Oh? How did you see that?" Nangong Yao actually asked carefully, Zhou Tang replied with a straight look:

"Your Majesty once worked as an attendant by His Majesty's side when he was young, and he often polished his books for His Majesty. Every time His Majesty writes this glorious character, the left half will be drawn very long. If you don't believe me, you can go to His Majesty's past imperial pen, and you will definitely be able to read it. There are clues."

Prince Xi moved his lips after hearing this, but he didn't speak, but Yin Mochu couldn't hold back and said angrily:

"A nest of snakes and rats!"

When Lian Qingyan heard this, he immediately realized that this was a great opportunity to show his loyalty, and immediately put on the airs of an elder and said to Yin Mochu:

"Second boy of the Yin family, what are you talking about! Just now, Prince Xi couldn't say anything, just won't admit a mistake, and you don't let go of your fart! What Mr. Zhou said is justified, because it is not your master. , are you jumping in a hurry!? Really petty!"

Yin Mochu was so angry that his veins bulged, and he couldn't really care about an elder like Lian Qingyan, so he could only snort coldly in anger, and whispered:

"Dog leg image!"

Liancheng heard Yin Mochu's scolding without naming names, although he felt that the scolding was quite right.

But anyway, it's my own father, so I have to protect three points even if I don't care, so I said coldly:

"Pork kidney statue!"

Yin Mochu: "..."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, so they asked Yin Hanshang to identify it in order to quickly get past the incident.

Strange to say, perhaps to avoid suspicion, Yin Hanshang never said a word to his own son Yin Mochu from the very beginning, and even the father and son exchanged a few words at any rate.

Both of them were silent, as if they were two strangers.

Right now, Yin Hanshang took the two wills and carefully identified them, without even looking at his own son.

He looked very carefully, but the more he looked, the tighter the corners of his lips and eyebrows became, and his face became even more ugly.

The eldest prince was not in a hurry, seeing him put down the will, he asked with a gentle smile:

"Master Yin, can you recognize it?"

Yin Hanshang took a deep breath and nodded slightly.But he didn't identify it, so the eldest prince was not in a hurry, instead Nangong Huang said:

"Master Yin, he just said it's fine."

Yin Hanshang looked up at him, and looked at Yin Mochu with some pain. This was the first time the father and son looked at each other for so long.

Yin Mochu had an intuition that something was wrong, but Yin Hanshang had made up his mind, pointing to Nan Gongyao's will:

"This is written by His Majesty himself. I will never admit my mistake!"

Everyone was shocked, Yin Mochu almost looked at his father helplessly.

Although Yin Hanshang's face was painful, he did not change his words, and still insisted:

"I won't admit my mistake."

Nangong Yao smiled, still had that gentle and gentle face, but there was a blatant complacency in his eyes:

"Third brother, what do you think we should do now?"

Nangong Huang lowered his eyebrows and said quietly:

"Since Lord Zhou and Lord Yin both said that the eldest brother's edict is the authentic one, then naturally it will be as we agreed..."

"and many more!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice. When Liancheng heard it for the first time, his brows twitched.Looking at the reputation, I saw my father pretending to be deep and said:

"The old man hasn't read it yet."

Everyone was a little silent. Although Nangongyao was unhappy, but seeing that he was an important minister of the former court, he still said softly:

"Lian Shiweng, my third brother and I agreed to invite three former court officials to verify the authenticity. Now that the result is out, I won't bother Shiweng."

"Your Majesty's words are wrong. When it comes to authenticating His Majesty's handwriting, who is more experienced than me. Zhou Tang, do you dare to compare with me?"

Zhou Tang shook his head, and he looked at Yin Hanshang again:

"Master Yin, do you want to compete with me?"

Yin Hanshang waved his hand, but before he turned his eyes to Prince Xi, the prince said coldly as if chasing away mosquitoes:

"That's enough! I don't have time to compete with you!"

Lian Qingyan was satisfied with this, and returned to Nangongyao's side while licking his face, and said proudly:

"His Royal Highness, listen! Listen! They all think they are not as good as the old man, so the old man is troubled, and I am willing to take a look for you."

Nangong Yao had already sensed that something was wrong with the current situation, his smile turned slightly cold, and he was thinking of some reason to refuse Lian Qingyan.But I heard Nangong Huang say indifferently:

"Brother, since Lian Shoufu is so persistent, let him take a look."

When Liancheng heard these words, his face changed suddenly, and he suddenly turned to Nangong Huang.

Nangong Yao was also full of reluctance, and now this scene is obviously a conspiracy.

If he didn't feel the taste, all these years would have been in vain.

But he couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse for a while, and Lian Qingyan had seized the opportunity, happily ran to the two wills, glanced at them, and then pointed to Nangonghuang's and said:

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is obviously not written by the late emperor himself, lord, how can you speak such nonsense without conscience!?"

Being run on by him, Prince Xi turned red with anger:

"you!!"

But he turned a deaf ear to it, picked up Nangong Yao's will and read it carefully for a long time, muttering to himself:

"This handwriting is real, not fake."

Nangong Yao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, thinking to himself that he had been besieged for a long time, and he was just worrying about something.

But before he could breathe out, he heard Lian Qingyan continue:

"However, although the handwriting is real, it is not the real edict."

After he finished saying this, his face suddenly became serious, and he looked back at the crowd, and he announced:

"These two edicts are all fake!"

The author has something to say:

The number of words has exploded, and I am also very desperate. It should take a few more chapters to end the chapter on the human world.

After all, I don't want to write too rough and leave a lot of bugs, so I would like to say sorry to everyone. .

Still Calvin, the last few chapters may not be guaranteed to be updated every day, I will try my best. .
