The two of them held their hands and lowered their heads, but they looked at each other, lowered their heads and said in unison: "Please ask the Holy Duke..."

"Don't be so restrained. Tell me what you think. You have just met Jin Zhi." Fang La walked down the steps and walked forward slowly. His voice was not loud, and he waved his hands at the same time to repel the maids and guards around him.

Seeing this, the two of them stopped being polite. Lu Qinghou hesitated for a moment and said: "We met, but the princess looks bad. Is it because of the fatigue from the journey?"

Deng Yuanjue also hurriedly said: "It's been a long and tiring journey, at least seven or eight days. It's really hard for the princess. I have two salvia trees in my house. I'll make chicken soup for the princess soon."

Fang La waved his hand: "Both of you are Jin Zhi's uncles, and Qinghou watched Jin Zhi grow up. But today, the eldest son of the Nangong family, Nangong Yaowen, has evil intentions against Jin Zhi. Although

He doesn’t know that Jinzhi is my daughter, but this matter is related to Jinzhi’s reputation, what do you think I should do?”

Deng Yuanjue said in his heart: "Mother, you still want to ask about this matter? Isn't it okay to kill them? Isn't it okay to punish the three tribes? What do you mean by asking? Are you asking, should I say it or not? But it's okay, ask

It’s Marquis Lu Qing.”

And it is not for nothing that Lu Qinghou has gained a reputation as an observer of people's actions over the years, otherwise he would not have reached the position of military advisor.

Immediately he said: "Reporting to the Holy Duke, this is a serious matter. According to the law, he should be executed. The family will sit together, the men will be assigned to the border areas as soldiers, and the women will be assigned to the priests as prostitutes."

Fang La didn't say anything, probably because he was thinking, but Deng Yuanjue smiled and said: "According to the military advisor's intention, just kill him directly? Wouldn't that be too cheap for this guy?"

At this moment, Lu Qinghou really wanted to pick up and turn his head and slap her directly, but he still held back and said: "According to the law, this is indeed the case, but it concerns Princess Jinzhi. The matter is serious, so we have to act on our own rights.

"

"No matter who it is, we can't let him go easily." Fang La spoke at this time.

"What the Holy Duke said is absolutely true." Lu Qinghou said with cupped hands. He had already concluded the matter in his heart. He looked at the monk Deng Yuanjue again and suddenly felt that speaking of this guy as a bald donkey was an advantage for him. At this moment, it was simply

A middle-aged man with two strokes.

"Then tell me, how should we deal with it best?" Fang La asked again.

Deng Yuanjue was secretly happy in his heart. This matter was not easy to handle. Nangong Wan was still hiding in the back room, and there was Nangong Jing who had a life-saving relationship with Lu Qinghou outside. Here was the only daughter of Shenggong, Fang Jinzhi. It couldn't be handled well.

The Holy Duke was about to get angry, and immediately looked at Lu Qinghou with an unchanging expression, with a hateful look on his face as if the matter was none of his business.

Lu Qinghou cursed in his heart: "Damn old bald donkey, look at how your grandfather turned defeat into victory. I don't know how you, a fool like you, got into the position of general."

As soon as Fang La finished speaking, he heard Lu Qinghou say: "Reporting to Duke Sheng, this matter is of great importance and concerns the reputation of Duke Sheng's royal family. It should not be too publicized. Not many people know about it now. Master Ning is accompanying the princess.

, should control the message. To

As for Nangong Yaowen, he should be punished for his unprovoked offense, and the Nangong family also has the highest ranking, but the Nangong family's merits and demerits are balanced. The matter should not be investigated too deeply, but it must not be punished. Failure to punish is not enough to shake the prestige of our country.

Punishment is not enough to quell Tian’s anger.”

Fang La nodded slightly: "Yes, this matter is indeed difficult. You all know Jin Zhi's temperament. Now that her mother has left, she finally took over. When encountering this kind of thing, it is mainly Jin Zhi, then

Although the Nangong family has made meritorious deeds, their success this time has been huge. Military advisor, please continue, don’t be influenced by me."

At the same time, Deng Yuanjue thought to himself, this guy has directly set the tone, and he is not influenced by you. This combination is Hello, Me, Hello, Everyone. He suddenly thought of Nangong Wan and looked at Lu Qinghou.

I noticed something fishy.

But I heard Lu Qinghou continue to say: "The reason why we captured Jinling without a bloody battle was because the Nangong family cooperated with the outside world. Two thousand troops lurked in Jinling, and a large amount of weapons transportation would not have been possible without the Nangong family. Secondly, Nangong Wan was personally granted a title by the Holy Gong.

Being a saint, such an honor, before

There is no one in the past and no one to come after. This is to serve the Holy Duke on behalf of the people of the world. The third Nangong is honored as a second-grade official. It will be of great help to stabilize prices in Jinling and smoothen the business community in Jinling. If prices soar and the business community collapses,

I’m afraid the battle on our frontline won’t be easy either.”

"You can escape death penalty, but you cannot escape living crime." Lu Qinghou changed the subject: "Now the war on the front line is tight, and the army of Daxia Dynasty is pressing on the border, and Chuzhou and Luzhou are short of food and grass. If the Nangong family can provide funding, help me in Yongle Dynasty

Overcoming this national crisis, whether it is food, grass, supplies or information, is a great achievement, and only then can we say that the merits and demerits are balanced."

Fang La pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "The military advisor's words are reasonable, but by doing this, I have wronged Jin Zhi."

Lu Qinghou said again: "This matter is left to my ministers. Let the saint take Nangong Yaowen to plead guilty, ask for your forgiveness, and eliminate the misunderstanding. It is also related to the fate of the country. I believe that your highness, the princess, has followed the Holy Duke since she was a child, so she will be able to understand the overall situation.

Please forgive me."

"Well, Jin Zhi is a sensible child..." Fang La nodded: "Marshal Deng, do you have anything to add?"

Deng Yuanjue was stunned, touched his bald head and chuckled: "This method is the best. It can not only save the royal family's face, but also benefit the country's fortune. The national master is indeed the national master, and he can come up with such a way to get the best of both worlds."

"Okay, then just follow what the Imperial Preceptor said. How much blood the Nangong family needs to be drained depends on the Imperial Preceptor. Furthermore, Jinzhi's place requires the Imperial Preceptor to make another trip." Sheng Gong said.

"I obey," Lu Qinghou said, cupping his hands.

Fang La headed towards the inner court. Just as he was about to pass the screen, he suddenly turned around and said, "Marshal Deng will also keep an eye on this matter, so as not to prevent the Nangong family from cheating and delaying the fate of the country."

Deng Yuanjue was secretly happy in his heart. This was to ask him to supervise, so as to prevent Marquis Lu Qing from enriching his own pockets and delaying the destiny of the country. He hurriedly declared the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, I obey the decree."

Immediately, he and Lu Qinghou left the hall and left separately.

"Thank you, Holy Father." Nangong Wan's pear blossoms were raining, and Fang La pushed the door open and entered, only to see Nangong Wan kneeling on the ground.

Fang La ignored him and went straight to the table and sat down: "I'm a little tired, please come and massage me."

Nangong Wan stood up in a hurry, wiped away her tears, and massaged Fang La's hot temples with her cold hands, but it felt like the subtle feeling of ice and fire.

After a long time, Fang La slowly opened his eyes and said: "The foundation of the Yongle Dynasty is not stable. The Nangong family needs to put more effort into it and cause less trouble. You have been working really hard here these days. Go back to see your father and take him with you."

Let me say hello."

Nangong Wan's heart sank, and she knelt down on the ground: "Thank you Shenggong for your kindness, Wan'er will come back as soon as you go."

Fang La waved his hand and signaled Nangong Wan to go out: "I still have some things to consider, so please step aside first."

Nangong Wan kowtowed and slowly retreated. When he closed the door and looked back at Fang La, his heart felt extremely desolate.

She is extremely repulsive to serving Fang La. In her mind, a wishful husband is not like this. Although she was once obsessed with power, there is a hindrance in the family who is always looking for trouble. Now that she is a saint, this

Although it was the first time for Fang La to avoid her, it did not affect her status in Fang La's heart at all.

Who was kidnapped? It was Fang Lanzhi, Fang La's only daughter. Fang La was able to swallow this breath. In the final analysis, he still took a fancy to the financial and material resources of the Nangong family. The Yongle Dynasty had just been established. Maybe the court would send troops here one day.

Well, a big war is inevitable, this is something that even Nangong Wan knows very well.

"Nangong Yaowen...I have to peel off your skin..."
