Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

In the third year of Zhenghe, in late May.

Chen Mo and his party arrived at the capital of Wei Dynasty.

Chen Mo placed Si Song in the Wei Palace where he lived before he became emperor.

After returning to the palace, Chen Mo issued an order to ennoble Nalan Yi as a jade concubine.

As soon as the decree was promulgated, Geng Songfu came over.

Geng Songfu was wearing a purple official robe with gray hair. He cupped his hands towards Chen Mo, handed over a pamphlet, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is the draft draft drawn up by the cabinet to divide Jinxia into eight states. Your Majesty, please Check it out.”

After Chen Mo took it, he took a cursory glance. In terms of internal affairs, he was definitely not as good as Geng Songfu, so he had no objection to the cabinet's division of Jin Xia. He just pondered for a while and said: "Divide Haiyan Pass into Give it to Youzhou, and let Youzhou control the passes of Jinxia."

"No." Geng Songfu wrote it down.

"How is the war going south in Jinxia?"

"Back to Your Majesty, General Chang'en has sent back the good news. The three major tribes in the south of Jinxia are willing to surrender to the Wei Dynasty. However, these three major tribes have made demands to our army. The matter is serious and General Chang'en dare not agree to it outright. Come down and report the matter to ask for your Majesty's opinion," Geng Songfu said.

"What's the request?" Chen Mo held it on his back with one hand and flipped the seal casually with the other.

"There are three requests in total. The first request is to ask your Majesty to reward them with a title, no less than that of a viscount, and hope that this title can be hereditary and irreplaceable. The second request is that your Majesty can pardon their crimes and forget the past. The third request is that , these three major tribes want to donate a beauty each to become your majesty’s concubine.”

"They are very good at calculating, both want and want." Chen Mo sneered, closed the memorial, looked up at Geng Songfu, and said, "What do you think, Geng Qing?"

"In my opinion, Your Majesty can agree."

"Oh? Tell me."

"Your Majesty, it is easy to eliminate these three major tribes, but according to my understanding, these three major tribes have great influence in the south of Jinxia. If your majesty agrees to their request, you can use their power to appease the people in the south of Jinxia. "To prevent the people in the south from hating the Wei Dynasty, when the division of the eight states is completed, your majesty will send officials to transform the eight states into Wei. If things go on like this, the people of the eight Jinxia states will become the subjects of the Wei Dynasty." Geng Songfu said. Xu said.

Hearing this, Chen Mo tapped the table with his fingers and considered: "They are not qualified to be my concubines. Even their Jin Xia Ke Dun is just one of my concubines. Since you want to offer your beauty, , then I will give them a beauty spot.

As for the title, I can reward them with an earl and allow them to inherit it hereditary, but I also have requirements, that is, their descendants cannot be mediocre people. They need to pass our imperial examination and obtain the title of Jinshi. Only then can their descendants If you can inherit the earl, otherwise, you will be reduced in descending order from uncle to son."

Geng Songfu thought for a while and felt that this was okay. If he agreed to the requests of the three tribes without changing a single word, it would make them feel that the court still had His Majesty easy to talk to, and thus they could make further progress.

"Your Majesty is wise." Geng Songfu cupped his hands, then raised his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, if their descendants are reduced to viscounts, and their descendants are admitted to Jinshi, will their ancestors be reinstated as earls, or will they inherit viscounts? "

"Naturally, they will inherit Viscount. If their descendants still fail to pass the exam, then they will be reduced to Baron. If they still haven't, they will be stripped of their title." Chen Mo thought.

"Your Majesty is wise. As a result, they can no longer rely on the protection of their ancestors' titles. They need to work hard on their own to prevent their descendants from becoming the worms of our Wei Dynasty." Geng Songfu stroked his beard and showed a bright smile on his face.

"Yes, not only that, even the nobles of Wei Dynasty will have to do the same in the future." After saying this, Chen Mo paused, and after a moment of silence, he said: "But they are meritorious ministers after all. The requirements are relatively low, just let the people pass the exam. As long as the descendants of the Dukes of the Wei Dynasty pass the exam, the title will not be reduced. Of course, the successors will also be inherited by those who passed the exam and cannot be faked. "

".promise."

"Qing Geng, do you have anything else to report?" Chen Mo asked when Geng Songfu looked like he still had something to report.

Geng Songfu nodded: "Your Majesty, Master Wu Changlin returned to Beijing early last month. When Your Majesty was not around, Master Wu told me about the Chuanhai Nangong family."

When he said this, Geng Songfu lowered his voice and looked around.

"All of you, please go down." Chen Moping withdrew several servants including Jia Yin.

Geng Songfu cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Wu said that according to his investigation, he found that the Nangong family's private army did not disband, but destroyed a small overseas country called Ryukyu and transferred all the troops to this small country.

Therefore, Master Wu guessed that the Nangong family's previous smuggling operations probably required a large amount of money to support these people in the Ryukyu Kingdom. "

"This is happening." Chen Mo frowned. He could tolerate the smuggling before, but raising a private army touched his bottom line.

"Is there any evidence?" Chen Mo said.

"There is evidence that Mr. Wu sent many people to break into the Nangong family and bribed some people from the Nangong family. However, the Nangong family found and eliminated many of them. The remaining people are all in Ryukyu and the Nangong family. I seem to have noticed something and am checking myself."

Geng Songfu paused for a moment, thought of something, and said: "By the way, Your Majesty, Lord Wu told me at the beginning that he had something else that he needed to tell Your Majesty face to face."

Chen Mo was already concerned about this matter and said, "He is alive now."

"It's in the capital."

"Tell someone to come see me."

"promise."

When Geng Songfu handed over his hands and left, Chen Mo watched him walking lamely.

Chen Mo almost forgot that when the two first met, Geng Songfu was lame and said it was an old injury that would never get better. In addition, he also found a lot of things for Geng Songfu later (before meeting Nalan Yiren). The doctor looked at it and found that it really couldn't be cured, so Chen Mo never took it to heart.

Thinking about it now, Chen Mo felt really guilty. The other doctors were helpless, but Yi Ren might be able to do it. After all, he hadn't asked her to show it to Geng Songfu yet.

"Geng Qing." Chen Mo called him.

"Your Majesty, do you have anything else to tell me?"

Chen Mo smiled and shook his head and said, "I'll tell you later. You wait here first."

Chen Mo called Jia Yin and asked him to call Yi Ren.

When Nalan Yi came over, Geng Songfu learned that His Majesty wanted the Jade Concubine to show him the back of her legs. He immediately became frightened and shied away, saying, "Your Majesty, how can I be so virtuous as an old minister? I bother a rich man like the Jade Concubine to come and see me." It’s an old leg that can’t be healed.”

"What are you saying, Geng Qing? You have made great contributions to the country, to me, and to the people. I still feel guilty for not asking Concubine Yu to help you earlier." Chen Mo can develop to this day, and Geng Songfu is indispensable. , I just asked Nalanyi to show him his legs, what’s the big deal.

"Master Geng, please sit down," Nalan Yi said.

"Don't bother me, my dear, condescension." With that, Geng Songfu picked up his trouser legs.

Nalan Yi looked at it, and then touched his lame area a few times through a layer of veil. He already had the answer in his heart: "Your Majesty, those doctors were not wrong. He has grown strong. The reason why It is said that it cannot be cured, but they are not sure that they can help Mr. Geng recover. "

"Can it be cured?" Chen Mo asked.

"It's not difficult." Nalan Yi said.

When Geng Songfu heard this, his body trembled. He didn't expect that when old age comes, he can still have good legs like a normal person.

Nalan Yi said: "The reason why I said that the doctors were not sure that I could help Mr. Geng recover is because he has grown strong here and needs to break it, then reconnect the bone and fix it. After it grows back, That would be fine. But Master Geng is already old and his recovery ability is not as good as that of young people, so the doctors are not sure whether Geng Songfu can grow up again. After all, if he does not recover well, he will not only be lame, but also the leg will be disabled.

But I am sure of this, I just need to break it off and fix it, and apply my special ointment. "

"hiss"

After Geng Songfu heard this, his legs were already hurting and he said, "Your Majesty, Madam, it's actually quite good to be lame."

"Master Geng, don't be afraid. As long as you take my special Ma Fei Powder, you won't feel any pain during the whole process. You will be able to recover in half a month at most." Nalan Yiren said very confidently.

Geng Songfu wanted to say more, but Chen Mo settled on it: "Then I'll bother Yi Ren. After Geng Qing has finished handling the matters at hand, he can find time to have his leg treated later."

Nalanyi nodded, this was just a small matter to her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Concubine Yu."

Chen Mo waved his hand.

Afterwards, Chen Mo met Wu Changlin.

"Immortal island?" After hearing what Wu Changlin had to say, Chen Mo raised his eyebrows.

Wu Changlin nodded.

The Nangong family was in the Guluo Kingdom's sea area, searching for the Immortal Island with such great fanfare, and so many people died. How could no news be leaked at all?

This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!

After Wu Changlin deliberately investigated, he naturally learned something.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Zhang Feng of the Nangong family bought a fairy fruit from a commoner of the Guluo Kingdom, and this fairy fruit was obtained by the commoner of the Guluo Kingdom from the fairy island." Wu Changlin guessed: "I'll see Come on, this fairy fruit should be real, and the Nangong family has received actual benefits from the fairy fruit. Otherwise, they would not have spent so much manpower and material resources to find an illusory fairy island. It is very likely that this fairy island is also real. of."

Hearing this, Chen Mo suddenly became interested.

The matter of Jin Xia's Blood God Seal made him feel that there must be stronger people in this world who transcended the Heaven and Human Realm. After all, the Blood God Seal was definitely not something that could be created by the Heaven and Human Realm, but Chen Mo couldn't touch it.

Now hearing about this fairy fruit and fairy island may help him understand an unknown side of this world.

He said: "Just like that, you believe that the fairy fruit and the fairy island are true?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I was not sure at first, but I sent someone to investigate and found out that the Gu Luo people who sold fairy fruits were dead. Not only him, but his family of six, no one survived. This is obviously It's not a coincidence, someone is trying to silence someone. If this is false, why is the person behind it covering up?" Wu Changlin said.

"You are just making assumptions, but do you have any actual evidence?"

"Not yet, and I still suspect that the people I bribed and infiltrated into the Nangong family should have been controlled or killed by the Nangong family. I haven't heard from them for a while." Wu Changlin shook his head. , sighed.

"Nangong Jin" Chen Mo frowned and said, "If I remember correctly, he didn't come to Beijing last time because of illness. It seems that I have to think of a way to summon him to Beijing and give him a try."

"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion."

"explain."

"Your Majesty, we can do this"

Mid June.

Chuanhai, Chaoping County, Nangong family.

"Let me serve as an official in Beijing." Nangong Jin frowned as he looked at the appointment documents issued by the officials and then sent to him through various post stations.

"It's all right. What's the purpose of the imperial court suddenly asking me to serve as an official in Beijing?" Mrs. Zhang also felt that there was something strange in this.

"What the imperial court means is that from the Shibo Division, if I have merit, I will be rewarded." Nangong Jin said: "So the Ministry of Civil Affairs selected me to select the doctor of the Qing Dynasty for the Ministry of Civil Affairs. This is a full-fledged official of the fifth grade. "

"Then there's no need to go to Beijing. Can't you be rewarded with some money for your merits?" Zhang said.

"Yes, something is wrong. The court transferred this boy named Wu back and sent a boy from a poor family here. I don't know what he wants to do?" Speaking of this, Nangong Jin suddenly thought of something and frowned. : "Wu Changlin has already arrived in Beijing at this time. Perhaps he told His Majesty something that led to the matter of transferring me to Beijing."

"What I mean is that the boy from the Wu family has been slandered." Zhang's expression changed.

"I'm afraid that's the case." Nangong Jin was also worried about other things.

"Then go to Beijing?"

"I can't get in, I can't get in, I have to write a letter and reject this official."

Early July.

Nalan Yi was shocked. When she went to see Si Song today, Si Song suddenly passed out without saying a few words.

Nalan Yiren took a look at him and found that he was running out of gas.

She could only find Chen Mo, use some century-old medicinal materials to combine with her current blood, and forcibly renew Si Song's life so that he could wake up.

But she knew that this was only temporary. If Si Song wanted to get better, Tao Xie Gu had to successfully transform for the fourth time.

Judging from the forced life extension just now, the Taotie Gu succeeded in its fourth transformation and might really be able to save Si Song.

In order to let the Taotie Gu complete its transformation as soon as possible.

As long as the Taotie Gu was not sleeping, Nalan Yiren would pester Chen Mo whenever he had time. For this reason, the impression of Nalan Yiren among the concubines in the harem was greatly changed.

Once, she even wanted Chen Mo to run a red light.

When Chen Mo found out, he scolded her.

Entering mid-July.

On the staff side, Nangong Jin's letter was handed over to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo saw the words of refusal in the letter.

The old age and lack of abilities made Chen Mo feel that Nangong Jin had something up his sleeve.

This was the same intention as Wu Changlin's suggestion at that time.

Just give Nangong Jin a try.

See if he feels guilty.

Now it seems that I tried it.
