Chapter 97
"The emperor, this should be done by Queen Mother Huo alone." Huo Youjuan couldn't help but said. The Huo Family was opposed to adoptive matters from the beginning.
"I know, Huo Qing and the others don't have this need." Qin Nuo replied coldly.
But there was one thing Qin Nuo didn't say. Although Huo Donglai and the others did not participate in this kind of conspiracy to blatantly confuse the royal blood, they soon noticed it. They didn't say it, but arranged for manual stalking and got the real little princess in their hands. Later, she threatened Queen Mother Huo and asked her to give up the idea of adopting the clan. After he became the throne, he must also use this to threaten Queen Mother Huo not to make trouble.
Haha, from this perspective, I can be considered a half beneficiary. He was still wondering before that after he became the throne, the Queen Mother Huo didn't even make any trouble?
Huo Youjuan was silent. Before Qin Cong died, she had secretly met Queen Mother Huo and spoke for Qin Nuo. Now it seems that although there is a relationship moved by his own words, it is also because the resentment towards Huo Family has the upper hand.
After he succeeded, the child is still under the control of Huo Family. Later, when the epidemic spread, Wise Concubine Lin couldn't sit still.
Whether there is love between Wise Concubine Lin and Huo Bin is unknown. But from the beginning, she encountered Huo Bin many times, just to get the child's current situation, and stealing the talisman paper is also a life-saving talisman for her child.
After all, his card was too strict, and no nobles inside or outside the palace could get the talisman paper. But that child lives outside the palace, and the epidemic is rampant. Many aristocratic families will be unlucky. If they are infected, the baby will undoubtedly die.
But I didn't expect to be calculated by Cai Xiangshi, and the two had an unexpected "accident".
But apart from this, everything is still planned. The talisman paper was in hand, and it was given to Huo Bin, and given to his children. But is the truth so simple?
This child is in the hands of the Huo Family and is a big handle for Queen Mother Huo. Even though she is patriarchal, she is very dissatisfied with the daughter of Wise Concubine Lin, but this child is Qin Cong's last bit of blood in the world. .
Of course, she didn't want that child to continue to fall into the hands of the Huo Family, who was increasingly distracted. And how to take back the child?
Of course you need to determine the location of the child first.
From beginning to end, I am afraid that even Huo Bin has been calculated.
Huo Donglai will definitely be vigilant when the Queen Mother comes forward. Wise Concubine Lin's contact with Huo Bin is just a heart of love for women. Of course, their original plan was that a caring mother acted without authorization and stole a piece of talisman paper and entrusted Huo Bin to send it there. But didn't expect that because Cai Xiangshi stepped in, things would develop in another weird direction.
Fortunately, Huo Bin didn't have any doubts afterwards, and he delivered the talisman paper in accordance with his previous promise.
But because of this horizontal thrust, Wise Concubine Lin lost his life, and Qin Nuo realized something was wrong. followed the vine and found the truth.
After coming into contact with martial arts, Qin Nuo often listened to Fang Yuan's explanation of some of the secrets of the world, such as the fanciful butterfly tracked by thousands of miles.
That piece of talisman paper, mostly passive with similar hands and feet.
Then the master arranged by the queen mother followed the clues and rescued the little princess.
Qin Nuo could understand her previous conspiracy, even implicating the clan's nearly extinction, because after all, it was a means to deal with political enemies. But this matter really broke the bottom line.
Huo Youjuan was silent. The Queen Mother was just such a person, viciously calculating, using herself as a bait to target Qin Jian and Guo's family. Originally wondering why after Qin Nuo succeeded to the throne, she has kept on guarding herself, but now it seems that she has no time to get distracted.
After the morning dispersal the next day, Qin Nuo went to Cining Palace to greet her. This time, she met Queen Mother Huo.
Still sitting in the hall, leisurely leaning on the back of the chair, with a cold and empty expression, but Qin Nuo could feel that the empress dowager's spirit was different.
Compared with the dullness of the previous meetings, the Queen Mother Huo today is obviously more cheerful.
Qin Nuo didn't realize it, bowed and said: "Mother Queen."
"The emperor doesn't need to be polite, sit down and talk." Queen Mother Huo is actually in the mood to care about the government, "How is the preparation for the solution at the Imperial Medicine Court?"
The news came from the south of the Yangtze River that some golden cotton grass had been collected and shipped back to the capital quickly. Qin Nuo Gong said, the other adjuvants are already ready, and only after the golden cotton grass is delivered, the medicine can be made into the medicine within two days.
"The epidemic in the capital has infested a lot of the clan and noble family. For such a major event, the emperor should be a little considerate of everyone's feelings." The queen mother said slowly.
Qin Nuo bowed his head to be educated: "What the queen said is. The sons and ministers also regret it. It's hard to guard against thief by day and night."
Queen Mother Huo paused.
After meeting several times, the two of them have been tacitly avoiding Wise Concubine Lin's affairs, but did not expect the emperor to mention it at this time.
The Queen Mother Huo was also very annoyed by this accident, but luckily the goal had been achieved.
She looked at the emperor and said with a smile: "There are many women in this harem. If there is no one to take care of, it is indeed very undecent. After the New Year, the emperor should also be selected for the wedding."
"Thank you for your mother's concern. My son is young, and I want to restrain myself more and learn more."
"The emperor is always motivated, which is a good thing. But the concubine and concubines are the avenue of human relations, and you can't take it lightly."
Queen Mother Huo talked with each other. At first glance, outsiders saw that the atmosphere between the mother and child was quite harmonious.
After saying a few words, the two turned to talk about the handling of the New Year's Day. No one mentioned Wise Concubine Lin again.
Saw Queen Mother Huo holding up the tea cup. Qin Nuo got up and left.
After leaving Cining Palace, Qin Nuo took a long breath, and the cold air penetrated into his lungs, diminishing the dull suffocation that had congested in his chest.
In fact, in addition to the irritability that Queen Mother Huo made him, the affairs of the DPRK and China also made him feel a lot of pressure these days.
The solution was put on the agenda, the commotion in the capital was almost overwhelming, and the new round of commotion was not among the ordinary people. Since the guarantee of the Golden Sect master, coupled with the effective control of the epidemic after the water supply was cut off, the panic among the people has been greatly reduced.
A new round of commotion occurred in the royal family. There have been patients in several consecutive homes, and there are even those who have become extinct like Qin Han. Although the number of people who died of illness is far less than that of the folks, for these nobles, the fear of dying of a person of the same class, Far more terrifying than the death of 11 million civilians.
As Queen Mother Huo just mentioned. He resolutely rejected all noble requests. Although the research progress of the Imperial Medicine Court was guaranteed, it also caused a small dissatisfaction among the nobles.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly in the following development. The team that went south from the Imperial Medicine Court quickly purchased a lot of golden cotton grass. On the way back, Mei Jing and others started to make medicine pills while rushing. Bring them back to the capital and quickly distribute them to various epidemic areas. As the patient gradually recovered, the panic gradually dissipated.
A few days ago, the staff of the Five City Division also intercepted the culprit of this epidemic in the upper reaches of the water source.
Sure enough, it was the hands and feet of the Nanchen spy!
According to the results of the torture by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, as early as half a year ago, they began to sneak into the north continuously to implement this plan. It started in Taizhou, where the epidemic first broke out.
The thing they used is very simple, a closed glass bottle filled with sewage. As long as it is thrown into the water source, the toxin will diffuse quickly. Once the court took effective measures to gradually reduce the scope of the disease, they would find the right time to throw the toxin again.
The Imperial Medicine Court is still wondering what poison or medicine is so powerful that not only is it not diluted by the water source, but it can become more and more intense. Qin Nuo naturally understands that most of it is some kind of stubborn bacteria or virus, and the ability to reproduce is so powerful.
It was determined that it was Nanchen's hands and feet, and the stolen goods were obtained.
The imperial court immediately arranged personnel to inform the world about Nanchen's poisoning, and urgently formulated the letter of credence and sent it to Wuli Kingdom. This was almost equivalent to a declaration of war.
People who have been tortured by fear for countless days and nights desperately need a vent. All of the capital, the ruling and opposition parties, the resentment and accusation against Nanchen Yudang became the main theme.
Even the palace talked about it. The folks quickly derive various magical versions, such as Wuli Kingdom's magic spells, and even the rumors that Golden Sect masters fight against Wuli Kingdom monsters for 300 rounds.
If it weren’t for the epidemic that hadn’t completely passed away, the teahouses and restaurants were crowded, and Qin Nuo had no doubt that the troupe in the capital would be able to perform Golden Sect for you right away. The main mana is boundless, three beating bone spirits, uh no, three Wuli monsters. The jokes come.
There was also a lot of enthusiasm in the DPRK, and officials kept writing letters asking the court to send troops as soon as possible to conquer Wuli Kingdom.
Next, the imperial court will make full effort to prepare for this war.
Makes Qin Nuo extremely troubled. In his career plan, Nanchen's order is actually behind Beishuo. Even if the emperor Nanchen has a wink, be his Wuli Kingdom king, don't miss Nanchen's glory in the past. Maybe Nanchen's problem can be resolved peacefully.
The court of the Great Zhou Dynasty went up and down, and in fact, they didn't have any interest in the barbarian land where the miasma was rampant, and they didn't even understand the language!
Who knows that the situation has changed suddenly, Nanchen roared out so hurriedly, and completely overturned Qin Nuo's plan to recharge.
Can't help but fight! This epidemic spread all the way from the original city to the capital, and tens of thousands of people died from the disease. It is impossible for any country to suffer such a vicious method.
After the beginning of the spring, the North Korean government has agreed to conquer Nanchen. Even if Wuli Kingdom cannot be exterminated in this battle, at least the two counties in the Central Plains controlled by Nanchen must be brought back.
One pile, one by one, is annoying.
That night, putting aside the tea, Huo Youjuan couldn't help asking: "Is it really about to start?"
"How can it be so fast?"
Qin Nuo was helpless. Once war with Nanchen, it is a national war.
It's not that simple. Last year, there was just a battle with Beishuo. Although it ended with a discussion, the war started and the mobilization of soldiers, horses, food and grass was not a small amount.
Immediately conquering Nanchen, there is no time to mobilize it, and it will be next year at the earliest.
And now the disease has not been completely eliminated. Just this serious illness has left the entire capital torn apart, and there are a series of subsequent problems.
"Nanchen can actually use this method to mess up the country's politics. It's..." Huo Youjuan couldn't help sighing, this kind of tactics is really unheard of in history.
Knowing that Nanchen could even think of using this method to deal with enemy countries, Qin Nuo's first reaction was also amazing.
Is the concept of germ warfare that people in this era can think of?
But then think about it. In ancient Chinese history, when the Han Dynasty fought against the Huns, there was a warfare method of throwing sick and rotting livestock into the river to pollute the water source. It is not unusual to come up with such a strategy. It's just that it's relatively rare to find such a powerful virus.
Although there is no concept of bacteria and viruses in this era, miasma poisons are well developed.
"Wuli Kingdom is worthy of the Southern Barbarian country, can find such a powerful poison." Qin Nuo said with emotion.
Huo Youjuan nodded: "Now everyone knows how vicious Emperor Nanchen is. Hmph, I said before that they would not believe it."
"Ah? Nanchen pseudo-emperor?" Qin Nuo was surprised. In fact, in his selfishness, Nanchen's use of this method, although insidious, was not excessive.
If the two countries are at war, who cares about your life and death! Of course, the messier the other party, the better. This is not a later generation. The era of civilized conventions cannot involve the common people.
For Nanchen, the last emperor, Qin Nuo still admires him.
After reading the memorials for the past few days, he ordered Yushuge to sort out Nanchen's information and send it up.
The more look, the more feel, the pseudo-emperor Nanchen is really not a simple character!
He is the son of the concubine Zhang Guifei, the last emperor of Nanchen, ranking eighth. It is said that this concubine Zhang was born with stunning talents and was unparalleled in the world. All the people have seen are overwhelmed.
Concubine Zhang Guiyan's name spread everywhere, even Great Zhou admired it. That's right, it's Emperor Jingyao, his cheap father.
When Nanchen destroyed the country, Emperor Jingyao was still worried about his family. He specifically ordered the army not to hurt him, and he wanted to bring them back. It is a pity that the imperial concubine had a zhenlie temperament and died as a martyr.
The eighth prince inherited the good looks of his mother by nature, and he was both talented and talented. He was known as Yulang in Nanchen. He was a figure who fascinated countless young girls since childhood, and even his fame reached Da Zhou.
"Do you often discuss this?" Qin Nuo expressed doubts about Huo Youjuan's words.
"Of course, Nanchen Yulang's name is unknown to anyone in the world!" Huo Youjuan smiled.
"What are you talking about?" Qin Nuo was curious.
"Ahem, just a little bit about my daughter's leisure time."
"Oh~" Qin Nuo looked at her funny, knowing it well. It's as if men get together and the topic cannot be separated from women. In private, the friends of the friends and dogs familiar in this era will definitely discuss which lady is more beautiful and talented, and among the ladies, it is indispensable to talk about which son, brother, civil and military Shuangquan, considerate and gentle...
The eighth prince of Nanchen is well-known for his beauty, and he is also well-known overseas, as well as his talents. He studied literature at the age of four and wrote poetry at the age of six. When he was twelve or thirteen years old, his works were already amazing. Nan Chen's literary way was originally more prosperous than Da Zhou. The works of the eight princes of Southern Chen flowed into the north, and they were often sung by people. Even in Da Zhou's boudoir, there were many young ladies secretly admiring him.
On a whim, Qin Nuo couldn't help but smile and asked, "Which is more beautiful, Nanchen Yulang and I?"
Huo Youjuan laughed loudly: "You are so beautiful, how can Yulang be better than you?"
The two of them laughed for a while.
After a long time, Qin Nuo finally saw the man with his own eyes. Recalling his comparability today, he just wanted to say, his face hurts! It hurts!
