The imperial edict, the loose state, gets down Tyrant city. 中诏,松州,下霸城。 „Coughs-” “咳咳咳-” Coughs from the throats one after another overflows, Nie Liangben wants to endure again, fishy smell upwells, causes an intermittent gastric disorder. 一声又一声咳嗽从喉间溢出,聂良本想再忍忍,孰料一股腥味上涌,引起一阵阵反胃。 He used the kerchief to cover the mouth, coughed layer on layer/heavily. 他用帕子捂住了嘴,重重咳了出来。 When he takes the kerchief, the snow white kerchief had dyed one group of dazzling black red blood. 待他将帕子取开,雪白的帕子已经染了一团刺目的黑红色血。 He is looking at this blood to be lost in thought that has keen ears to hear the corridor to hear sound of footsteps, coming the person to depend from far to near to him. 他正望着这摊血怔怔出神,耳尖听到长廊传来一阵脚步声,来人正由远及近向他靠来。 Nie Liang subconsciousness grips the obturation to enter the sleeve the kerchief, lay down. 聂良下意识将帕子攥紧塞进袖子,重新躺了回去。 „Comes.” “进来。” Nie Liang erases the corners of the mouth residual bloodstain in secret, the maidservant who outside the room awaits respectfully files, takes care of him to wash changes clothes. 聂良暗中抹掉嘴角残留的血渍,屋外恭候的侍女鱼贯而入,服侍他洗漱更衣。 Uses the breakfast, the maidservant end to come up simply late shiny black medicine juice, then can smell that indescribable flavor far away. 简单用过早膳,侍女端上来一晚黑黝黝的药汁,大老远便能嗅到那股难以言喻的味道。 Nie Liangben fears the bitter person, but he knows that oneself must depend on these medicines to hang the life, has to hold one's nose to fill to get into the stomach. 聂良本就是怕苦的人,但他知道自己还要靠着这些药吊命,不得不捏着鼻子灌下肚。 „Child along called the roll?” “子顺来点卯了？” Nie Liang complexion is not very good, the pair of eyes eye socket slightly has hollow, the dark pouche makes him look that is very weary and does not have the spirit. 聂良的面色不是很好,双眼眼眶略有凹陷,黑眼圈让他看着十分疲倦、没精神。 The maidservants said that „before health/guard military strategist quarter of an hour, then awaited respectfully outside, for does not alarm the master, this has not sent for circular.” 侍女道,“卫军师一刻钟前便在外头恭候了,为了不惊扰老爷,这才没派人通传。” Nie Liang and health/guard Ying are not only the awestricken and obedient relations, they are the best friend, the personal friendship are intimate. 聂良和卫応不仅是主臣关系,他们还是至交好友,私交亲密。 Knowing Nie Liang condition is not good, health/guard Ying wishes one could to pack to take care of Nie Liang the bed. 知晓聂良境况不好,卫応恨不得将床铺都打包过来照顾聂良。 Nie Liang nods, asked a excuse to send casually the maidservant. 聂良点点头,随便找了个借口将侍女打发下去。 Led the person to walk, Nie Liangcai set out to bring a lamp bowl from the one side, taking advantage of burning down kerchief that was stained with the blood. 带人走了,聂良才起身从一旁取来一只灯盏,借火烧了沾血的帕子。 His body he was clear, the surface looks at fortunately, actually the outwardly strong but inwardly weak, he does not know how long oneself can also insist. 他的身子他清楚,表面看着还好,实则外强中干,他也不知道自己还能坚持多久。 However- 不过- Nie Liangshuang pupil has delimited together cold glow. 聂良双眸划过一道冷芒。 How long no matter can also insist, he must boil dead Sir Nie to be good. 不管还能坚持多久,他都要熬死聂老太爷才行。 If he died, the son who this grandfather will not fully support Nie Liang, will give the peer the family property that Nie Liang operates mostly the brothers. Nie is what situation, Nie Liang knows in heart. If Nie Liang son is unable to be in power, the orphan widowed mother only has the dead end. 若是他死了,这位爷爷可不会全力支持聂良的儿子,多半会将聂良经营的家业交给同辈兄弟。聂氏是个什么情况,聂良心里有数。若聂良的儿子无法掌权,孤儿寡母只有死路一条。 „See your majesty.” “参见主公。” health/guard Ying the patience is sitting, waits to wait for Nie Liang for a long time, the opposite party footsteps are impractical, was still a listless appearance. 卫応耐心正坐,等了许久才等来聂良,对方脚步虚浮,仍是一副病恹恹的模样。 „Among your me also uses such overly courteous?” Nie Liang said with a smile, „how today to have come?” “你我之间还用这么多礼？”聂良笑道,“今日怎么这么早就来了？” „Yesterday received several confidential letters, should deliver to your majesty early, but at that time is in the middle of the night, does not dare to alarm your majesty clear dream, can only this morning call the roll sooner.” Then, health/guard Ying gives Nie Liang several correspondence, „east came from celebrates, from father.” “昨日收到几封密信,本该早早交予主公,但那时已是深更半夜,不敢惊扰主公清梦,只能今晨早些来点卯了。”说罢,卫応将几封书信交给聂良,“一封来自东庆,一封来自老太爷。” Does east celebrate? 东庆？ „What trick was difficult to be inadequate is that willow Xi makes?” “难不成是那柳羲又弄什么幺蛾子了？” Is saying, he while opens the sealing wax with the slender slender finger, two fingers take out inside confidential letter. 一边说着,他一边用纤细修长的手指将火漆打开,两指取出里面的密信。 „Really is not a quiet woman.” Rapid reader looks, Nie Liang says with emotion, „Liu has the female so, what isn't worry prosperous?” “果真是个不消停的女人。”一目十行看完,聂良感慨道,“柳氏有女如此,何愁不兴盛？” health/guard Ying reminded, „before willow Xi and yellow Song made war, then unilaterally announced the minute/share of sect independence.” 卫応提醒道,“柳羲与黄嵩开战之前便单方面宣布分宗独立了。” In other words, Liu do not want to account for the nickel from Jiang Pengji the small advantage. 换而言之,柳氏别想从姜芃姬身上占到半毛钱的便宜。 Thinks that also sympathizes with Liu, if willow Xi the heart toward Liu, will not worry over the following hundred years prosperously. 想想也是同情柳氏,若是柳羲心向着柳氏,不愁接下来百年兴盛啊。 „willow Xi is a extraordinary woman, does to Liu this chicken coop unable to detain the families phoenix.” The Nie Liang light say/way, „she was used to the habit of looks for the matter, the present range goes on a punitive expedition against yellow Song over more than past year, she then could not bear be ready to fight to south hold to start, she did not fear that had food stuck in the throat.” “柳羲是个了不起的女人,奈何柳氏这个鸡窝留不住人家凤凰。”聂良平淡道,“她惯会找事情,现在距离征伐黄嵩才过去一年多,她便忍不住摩拳擦掌对南盛下手了,她也不怕噎住。” The health/guard ying surprise, is the content of confidential letter unexpectedly this? 卫応诧异,密信的内容居然是这个？ - 如此说来- „Southern hold did Mengjun win?” “南盛盟军赢了？” Nie Liangdao, „according to informer reply, south abundant allied armies hard victory. Recently south can have the abundant news?” 聂良道,“根据线人回禀,南盛盟军惨胜。近些日子可有南盛的消息？” health/guard Ying replied, „recently passed on one batch newly.” 卫応回答道,“最近才传回来一批新的。” Nie Liang throat somewhat is that itchy, the impulsion will endure a while to cough depresses, he does not want to be in front of health/guard Ying to cough to bleed. 聂良喉咙有些痒,忍了一会儿才将咳嗽的冲动压下,他可不想当着卫応的面咳出血来。 „You go to bring these.” “你去将那些都取来。” Sent health/guard Ying, Nie Liang then to cover the kerchief to be depressed to cough two, this time but actually good, above did not have the bloodstain. 打发了卫応,聂良这才捂着帕子闷闷咳嗽两声,这次倒还好,上面没有血迹。 Shortly, health/guard Yingbao one pile of letters were coming, Nie Liang labels 11 to look according to the time. 没多久,卫応抱着一摞书简过来了,聂良按照时间标注一一看过来。 Because in southern hold and the imperial edict great distance is remote, the news is half a month passes on one time, the hysteresis quality is very strong. 因为南盛和中诏相隔遥远,消息都是半个月传一次,滞后性很强。 Is just like the content in Nie Liang hand, in fact was one month ago historical anecdotes. 好比聂良手中的内容,实际上是一个多月前的旧闻了。 With these historical anecdotes, celebrated the news in aspect in light of east, Nie Liang also roughly found out south the abundant situation. 凭着这些旧闻,结合东庆方面的消息,聂良也大致摸清了南盛的局势。 After looking, Nie Liang said with a smile, „she selected a good time, south abundant this was exerts its utmost......” 看完之后,聂良笑道,“她真是挑了个好时候,南盛这是势在必得啊……” The south abundant troops are void, Jiang Pengji actually quite training more than one year, are morale resounding time, goes to battle southern has the chart grandly. 南盛兵力空虚,姜芃姬却好生修养了一年多,正是士气高亢的时候,出征南盛大有可图。 Two people pace before the earth chart slowly, is looking at the scenery Xiushan river on chart, Nie Liang actually had a bleak sentiment. 二人慢慢踱步至坤舆图前,望着图上的景秀山河,聂良却生出了一股荒凉之情。 health/guard Yingdao, „willow Xi the next goal is Yang big wave.” 卫応道,“柳羲下一个目标是杨涛。” Punched Yang big wave to turn secure Cui. 揍了杨涛才轮得到安慛。 Yang big wave shoulders for a long time, settles cui then to have more time to rest and build up strength, recovers. 杨涛扛得越久,安慛便能有更多的时间休养生息,恢复元气。 Nie Liangdao, „looks over Yang big wave in the south abundant increasing the family fortunes history, character that he...... also or his person does not like resigning oneself to extinction. Must try hard mostly, the hopeless situation seeks livehood. Child smooth, you guess how Yang big wave does want to do to stimulate the entire chess surface?” 聂良道,“纵观杨涛在南盛的发家史,他……亦或者说他身边的人不是喜欢束手待毙的性格。多半要努力一把,绝境求生。子顺,你猜猜,杨涛要怎么做才能盘活整个棋面？” health/guard Ying ponders over a while. 卫応思忖一会儿。 „Only Yang big wave, feared that is not willow Xi the opponent, don't said for a year, feared that is a half year somewhat is dangerous. Only has to form an alliance a way out!” health/guard Yingdao, „Yang Taogang and secure cui cooperation ended, the view latter's action, will not be involved in this tangled warfare mostly, hides in the back, when only the canary has the possibility. So looked, Yang Taoruo wants to cope with willow Xi, will choose to send people to persuade your majesty mostly to form an alliance?” “单凭杨涛一家,怕不是柳羲对手,莫说一年,怕是半年都有些悬。唯有结盟一条生路！”卫応道,“杨涛刚与安慛合作结束,观后者的举动,多半不会卷入这场混战,躲在背后当只黄雀倒有可能。如此一看,杨涛若想对付柳羲,多半是会选择派人劝说主公结盟？” After all, side Jiang Pengji neighboring enemy such several. 毕竟,姜芃姬身边相邻的敌人就这么几家。 Nie Liangdao, „mostly so.” 聂良道,“多半如此。” health/guard Yingdao, „, if Yang Taozhen sent, your majesty can the meeting should under?” 卫応道,“倘若杨涛真派人过来了,主公可会应下？” Nie Liang sighed, „I also do have the choice? Whatever willow Xi sits in a big way, but raised a serious hidden trouble to oneself. Has not grown thoroughly while her, thinks the means to strangle him would rather in the seed. If Yang big wave sends, forming an alliance must should under.” 聂良叹道,“我还有选择的余地？任由柳羲坐大,不过是给自己养了个心腹大患。趁着她还未彻底成长起来,倒不如想办法将其扼杀在萌芽。杨涛若是派人过来,结盟必须应下。” health/guard Ying nods, approves of Nie Liang viewpoint. 卫応点点头,赞同聂良的观点。 However health/guard Ying cannot think, Nie Liang does that also in the arrangement behind the matter. 不过卫応怎么也想不到,聂良这么做也是在安排身后事。 The first confidential letter, Nie Liang opened the second confidential letter, this is his grandfather sends. 说完了第一封密信,聂良又打开了第二封密信,这是他爷爷发来的。 In the correspondence has not written several characters, can look. 信函上没写几个字,一眼就能看完。 health/guard Ying asked anxiously, „did father have what instruction?” 卫応紧张问道,“老太爷有何指示？” Nie Liangdao, „grandfather did not approve, he said that the Dairo grade was too small, is not suitable to stand for the successor early.” 聂良道,“祖父仍是不赞同,他说大郎年级还太小了,不适合这么早立为继任者。” health/guard Ying listened to the complexion to be blue, clenched teeth saying that „father this was wants your majesty is not happy sincerely?” 卫応一听面色都青了,咬牙道,“老太爷这是诚心要主公不痛快？” Nie Liangchui pupil said, „grandfather power and prestige illustrious for a lifetime, actually seized power to be built on stilts by the grandson close to the later years, definitely is not at heart comfortable.” 聂良垂眸道,“祖父威风赫赫了一辈子,临近暮年却被孙子夺权架空,心里肯定不舒坦。” Nie as the imperial edict respected family second to none, the background is not lives the hereditary scholar class to compare ordinary. 聂氏作为中诏首屈一指的大家族,底蕴可不是普通生士族能比拟的。 However, the respected family trifling thing are also many, under the seemingly tranquil lake surface is hiding the revolting contest for power similarly. 不过,大家族屁事也多,看似平静的湖面下同样隐藏着令人作呕的权力之争。
