"It's hard for Kohoku too, he did it all to choose you out."

When Hua Nanhe returned to the house, will be the morning court happened all the things described, Yun Xi sighs with emotion, hand holding face disguise ice silkworm false face skin.

"My plan was a hundred times worse than it should have been, and I didn't anticipate that Princess Jingle would pull the same stunt. The meeting of the two waves of roving bandits is really far-fetched, and is bound to attract suspicion as the days go by.

Xiao Bei Golden Palace on top of the following offense to your words without symptoms, is to let the people present believe that the wrong marriage is true, lest in the future Hua Nanxin suspicion. Such a mess, in the eyes of outsiders, it seems that the East Chamber and the Nine Royal Mansions have made an enmity, and this is also the result that Hua Nanxin hopes for."

Hananh nods slightly.

"Indeed, the heavens have always treated me favorably, Wah Nam Hyuk, not only giving me you who know me and understand me, but also bringing those loyal brothers to my side."

YUNSHI smiles.

"When masters fight, they never fight without bloodshed, Xiao Bei really has a great mind.

He knew that Hua Nanxin was suspicious, which is why he pretended to have no one in his sight at the temple, in order to deliberately agitate the Emperor.

Who does not know that he is Shi Ling's hand on the governor's seat, he has no one in his sight, on behalf of Shi Ling's no one in his sight. In this way, it is in plain sight to Shi Ling secretly inserted a knife.

If you lose your wife on your wedding night, anyone would do something drastic. Therefore, the old Shiling or Xiao Tai Fei, admittedly can not pick Xiao Bei what fault to come.

As for Dowager Consort Xiao, she praised Shi Ling on the spot, but only because she wanted to rely on the Shi family to establish an ear in the palace, so that she could live in peace in her old age in the future ......"

"Huananxin really fell for it and was completely driven crazy to kill Xiao Bei, can't wait to get down to the might of the Shimashita Party ......"

Hananh gathers the woman's shoulders and asks in a shallow voice.

"What you're going to say, is this, isn't it?"

Yun Shi snuggled into the man's chest and nodded with a light smile: .

"Huananxin's childhood experiences were unfortunate, and when he grew up, even as a king, his character was suspicious, and he was extremely insecure about people and things.

He spends all his time in the world, delegating power to the Cabinet and the East Chamber, yet guarding both with either restraints or checks and balances, which has already violated the major taboo of governance. Right now, the parties in the court are so divided that soon he, the emperor, will be hollowed out."

Hua Nanhe sunk his eyebrows and sighed.

"Back then, I didn't want to bear the world's scorn and resolutely gave him half of the jade seal in my hand. I thought that he would be motivated after his bad luck and would surely be a good emperor.

Unexpectedly, this Hua Nan Clan's kingdom and mountain came to his hands, but in turn, it was not as magnificent as the pomp and splendor of the late Emperor Hua Nan Ze's reign."

Yun Shi advised him.

"Don't think too much, Hyuk, you must remember how it was before and how it will be again. You must not point your finger at the affairs of the court just because the regency has been given to you. In anyone's eyes, you are still a free prince who eats, drinks, and has fun."

"Yes, Diffractor's honor to follow Your Highness' teachings."

Hua Nanhe picked the woman's jaw and tenderly possessed her lips.

......

The night of the moon and the stars.

In the study of the Prime Minister's residence, Shiling handed an envelope to an underling: .

"Go, personally deliver it to the Empress, and make sure she takes the medicine carefully according to the prescription above."

The underling obliged and withdrew.

The content of the letter is a reliable secret recipe, specializing in helping married women to get pregnant and sit down male fetus, is the time Ling with thousands of gold from the hands of folk magicians to beg.

Thinking back to the emperor's violent face in the morning court, Shiling's spine tightened for a while, and the feeling of heart failure increased.

As the chief cabinet minister and a first-ranking official with a lot of power in his hands, Shi Ling was well aware of the emperor's nature.

He has to use the minister and also guard against him at all times.

The heights are too high!

Today, the Emperor killed Le Frost in front of the temple, I'm afraid that it is to kill to him when Ling see.

Luckily, the Dowager Princess came to the rescue at the crucial moment.

However, she could protect the Shi family for a while, but not for a lifetime.

The most reliable method of self-preservation is to let her daughter, Shi Yuanqing, get pregnant with the Emperor's son as soon as possible.

Once this child is born, it will be the first son of Emperor Ren Xian after he ascends to the throne, and it will be golden.

And the daughter is the Empress of the Eastern Palace, the status of honor, she gave birth to the emperor son is the first son, is able to inherit the future monarch of the Huainan clan miles of rivers and mountains.

As long as he has this first son, no matter how the dynasty changes in the future, the Shih family will win, and he, Shiling, will have something to rely on in his old age.

......

At the end of October, the northern border is at war again.

The three major tribes of Dolan, Yuha, and Buyu, which had been oppressed by the heavy taxation of Dayi for many years, united with more than a dozen small nomadic tribes in the neighboring area to raise 130,000 troops to rebel, and encountered the strenuous resistance of the northern defense garrison.

The frontier land was in a state of wolfishness, and the people were uprooted and living in misery.

The northern defense is an important place, and the military service is changed once every three years. This time the rebellion broke out just before the change of defense in the north.

The resident veterans were no match for the nomadic barbarians and ended up dead or wounded.

Urgently seeking reinforcement of the military newspaper one by one into the capital, when the emperor is in the newly won the theater garden with Rui Ji and the new palace theater actresses to have fun.

Summoned the ministers to the palace to discuss the best strategy, some council down, but the ministers put the focus on the matter of rituals to compete with each other on the power of the military.

In the end, Huananxin sent Qingpingbo Meng Fang, the father of Xianfei, to lead a 150,000-strong Gyeonggi army and 200,000-strong Northeastern army in a northern expedition to conquer the rebels.

Winter is a good time to recuperate, and it would have been bad timing to lead an army.

And the northern border is a long way, the northern expedition is the rear military supply. Thus, in terms of geographical advantage, the army of the Heavenly Kingdom also does not occupy an advantage.

In the early years of the state policy of changing rice into mulberry has scourged many good land, the government food has been in short supply of floating image.

At present, in order to respond to the military needs of the northern part of the country, the government from all over the people to the urgent collection of grain and grass, half-price for the equivalent of robbing, the people are full of grievances.

Furthermore, Hua Nanxin has lived an extravagant life in the two years or so he has been in power, and his corrupt style has long since affected the local community.

The result was that the generals in the army were drunk, the soldiers were weak and the armaments were seriously wasted.

If such a team is pulled out, even if it is numerically superior to the barbarians, its combat power can be imagined.

What's more, on the way of Meng Fang leading his troops northward to round with the Northeastern Army, the negative _news_ of the soldiers of the Jinggi Army forcibly capturing the women of the people and wheeling them * to death has been repeatedly rumored.

The northern border is in a constant state of war, the situation is tight, and the capital has not been able to stop for a moment.

This nomadic rebellion was the trigger for the escalation of the party struggle between the imperialists and the opposition in Da Yi.

Among them, the three major parties, the Toki Party, centered on the chief cabinet ministers, the Dairen Party, which was in opposition to the Toki Party and advocated the dissolution of the cabinet and the return of political power to the king, and the Ximin Party, which proposed the abolition of the East Chamber, fought the most fiercely.

Their behavior of suppressing each other and climbing over each other appeared to be all for the sake of the country and the people, but in fact it was only for the purpose of excluding dissenters, making their own party lineage the head of the court, and controlling the sovereignty of the central government in their hands.

In this kind of treacherous chaos, the only Hua Nanhe stable stand outside the Bureau, since the news of the war in the northern border into the capital, he will be in ill health as a reason, and then did not enter the palace to participate in the meeting.

......

Time is like water slipping through the fingertips without notice, and it's already New Year's Eve.

Early in the morning the sky was cloudy with scattered snowflakes.

The wind is very cold.

Hua Nanhe had originally refused the traditional annual celebration luncheon in the palace and only wanted to spend time with Yunshi in the mansion.

Recently Yunshi's body is not very good, especially sleepy, people are tired and crooked all day long, not too much spirit.

Soon after, the emperor sent his palace staff into the residence to invite him, and Hua Nanhe had no more reason not to go.

The annual celebration luncheon was just like the old days, with good food and wine being served.

The courtiers have their own purposes, facing the table full of delicacies also have no intention to taste.

Singing and dancing, colorful sleeves fluttering, full of the temple wine and meat incense entangled with the fat powder gas, more highlighting the atmosphere on the field of lonesome and incongruous.

However, Hua Nanhe's mood was extremely good, drinking and eating to tease the dancing girls, and grabbing a handful of dates, throwing them one by one.

After that he simply left the table, ran to the table of several officials in the back row, fished out two colors from his sleeve pocket, and said with a smile:.

"Lord Zhang, Lord Li, and Lord Wang, this place is boring as hell. Let's go, let's go, how about we find a place to have a good sparring session?"

"Aigoo, Your Highness, quickly put the things away."

The officials were suddenly green in the face.

All three of them were regulars at the gambling tables and had a few encounters with Hua Nanhe in the gambling manor in the capital.

But today's occasion is definitely not the right time to roll the dice.

Unimpressed, Warrnenhurst reaches right out and pulls: .

"What's wrong with a couple games? Come on, let's go."

The emperor looked away from Hua Nanhe's wanton nonsense, and there seemed to be a clear and cold mist in his sunny and handsome eyes.

He got up silently, a wine pot in one hand and a wine glass in the other, and walked over to Hua Nanhe.

"Imperial Uncle, why didn't you bring the princess?"

"Your Majesty?"

Hanah froze and casually shook the dice in his palm, causing them to "lalalalala".

"Oh, she's just a storyteller, from a mediocre background on the stage."

That woman was Yun Shi, and in order to avoid any traces being seen by the emperor, Hua Nan He could never have brought her into the palace.

"I see Your Majesty."

The ministers were of humble status and only knew how to crouch and worship in fear.

Ignoring the two, the emperor poured a full cup of wine in front of Hua Nanhe's eyes and handed it to him: .

"The finest Nine Stuffed Spring, Imperial Uncle taste the flavor."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Hua Nanhe took it and drank it all in one go, praising : "Sure is good wine."

"In that case, I will present this pot of Nine Brews to Imperial Uncle. Come, I have some words with you."

The wine pot was handed over to the chamberlain, and the emperor guided Hua Nanhe to the pavilion outside the back hall.

At this time the snow was tightening, and Xuan Hua glittered with clear light and sprinkled down from the depths of the leaden clouds, accumulating a thin white blanket on the frozen lake.

"Imperial uncle, previously all moon west building make trouble to separate you and me uncle and nephew. I let uncle suffer, every time I think of it, I feel ashamed of uncle."

Looking straight at the snowy landscape for a moment, the emperor's deep silent eyes like the sea looked toward Hua Nanhe, his mouth spat out a white gas mass, dense with his hale and hearty features.

Hwa Nang Hyuk's expression of disbelief: .

"It's all in the past, Your Majesty doesn't need to take it to heart."

Copying the wine jug in the chamberlain's hand, Hua Nanhe tilted his head and poured a few mouthfuls, smacking his lips in satisfaction: .

"Ah, good wine!"

"In a few days there will be batches of troops that need to be relieved to the northern lands, and at that time I will transfer another 50,000 Gyeonggi troops to protect the grain and grass northward. Imperial Uncle, I would like to place these 50,000 men under your command."

One side of the gray eyebrows popped imperceptibly, Hua Nanhe "haha" laughed, waved his hand and said.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. If Your Majesty really dislikes me, it would be better to let me move my family back to Xiyi, why bother sending me to the North like this."

When he finished speaking, he took the curved spout of the jug in his mouth and slammed it down.

"Ai, Imperial Uncle has misjudged me."

The emperor is not willing to stop there, and smiles.

"As the saying goes, a brother fights in war, and a father's son fights in battle. You are my own uncle, instead of handing over the military power to others, I would rather hand it over to my own family. Imperial uncle, do you think so?"

Hananh smiled without saying anything.

Both his intuition and past experience told him that Huanan Xin had given him a gift, and it was not a good intention.

It was not without reason that Yun Shi had repeatedly told others not to show themselves in front of others, only to plan in secret and bide their time.

"Royal Uncle ......"

The emperor was about to say something else, when the Grand Master Liang Jian came running over, complaining.

"Your Majesty ......"

"What's the matter? Can't you see I'm talking to my uncle?"

"Wan asks the Emperor to look at this first."

Liang Jian bowed his head, peeked at Hua Nanhe, and offered a note in his hand.

The emperor took it and unfolded it, and exclaimed out in shock: .

"An IOU from the Qian Sheng Gambling House? One thousand taels of silver! ...... Imperial Uncle, you!"

Hananh drank up the imperial wine, his face thinly flushed.

Looking toward the handwriting on the IOU, a hint of surprise swept across his eyes, but he did not deny it.

Patting his belly, he smiled shyly and asked.

"Hey, hey, how did this IOU get to the palace?"

Liang Zhen's contemptuous gaze brushed over the out-of-control man, and said in no good humor:.

"Your Highness, you owe money that is overdue, and the owner of the gambling house is kneeling outside the Shenwu Gate right now waiting for our long-lived master to pay back the money!"

"What a scandal! Give him the silver!"

The emperor shouted grumpily.

Huananhe was happy to hear that and bowed his hand.

"I thank Your Majesty for your generosity. It is not that I refuse to pay back the money, but the one who married the wrong one is really powerful, and only on the second day of his entry into the house he collected the key to my money vault."

The emperor frowned in boredom and waved his hand, signaling him to retire immediately.

Looking at Hua Nan He's strutting back, Liang Jian was full of helplessness and shook his head, saying.

"How can such a heartless thing lead the Emperor's 50,000 Jinggi soldiers northward?"

Huananxin coldly withdrew his eyes, crumpled the note into a paper ball, and grunted ferociously : .

"Whether he really lacks heart or lungs, I will soon find out!"
