Chapter 208 Tired

After coaxing the emperor well, Su Nancheng was not only not convicted, but also got a reward.

The emperor rewarded him for his wit. Although 200 taels of gold was nothing, as long as it was rewarded by the emperor, it would be a big deal.

Su Nancheng was also generous, and directly threw a five taels of gold ingot to the eunuch who sent him out: "It's hard for you to share with other eunuchs."

The eunuch said embarrassingly: "Your Excellency is very polite, you will be rewarded every time, and the slaves will not repay you."

What he said was true, and he was really embarrassed to keep asking.

"Eunuch, you are welcome. If you really have time, I have a small matter to trouble you."

"My lord, just say, as long as the servants can do it, it will definitely be done." The eunuch patted his chest.

"Small things, small things. In the East Palace in the past, I was only a ninth-rank official and young. At that time, I was taken care of by my father-in-law. My surname is Xie, and now I am serving in the incense store. My father-in-law knows that the abolished prince was convicted. Everyone..." Su Nancheng shook his head.

"This Eunuch Xie is really kind to me. If Eunuch is free, why don't you take care of him. At least make him live more comfortably."

Su Nancheng saved him back then, but friendship is all that matters after all.

For a person who is in front of the deposed prince, it is not bad to escape his life, so what good treatment can he get?The past two years must have been miserable.

And when Su Nancheng talked about this today, he didn't really want to take care of Eunuch Xie.

It's just that the eunuchs in front of the emperor understand that he, Su Nancheng, is someone who can take care of even the eunuchs who have been kind to him.

I can't look down on these people.

They live like ants, but they are too close to the emperor.

Sure enough, this was too much monitoring, so I responded decisively.

Su Nancheng had to go back to the Hou Mansion first.

Early in the morning, I sent a message to Mr. Feng Zhu to tell her to go to the Hou's mansion to wait.

At this moment, everyone in the Hou Mansion is also at home.

When Su Nancheng saw Lord Hou, he first knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The unfilial grandson has come back and worried the family, please punish my grandfather."

Before Cheng Kanghou could speak, Su Yingqu scolded first: "Sinister! You don't know the severity of things, do you really know that you are wrong?"

"Respond to the father's words, the son knows his mistake." Su Nancheng didn't talk back.

Wrong not bad, did everything.It's hard to get overwhelmed.

"Forget it, although it is reckless, it is still a way." Cheng Kanghou shook his head: "Get up and answer."

"Thank you, grandfather." Su Nancheng kowtowed before getting up.

"How about Luancheng?"

"If you go back to your grandfather, it's not good. Even if you have opened a warehouse, it's a pity...it won't last until next year's autumn harvest. If it doesn't rain this winter and next spring, I'm afraid more people will die. The whole north is not good." Su Nancheng said.

"God wants to take people's lives." Su Yingmao sighed.

"There is another piece of news. My grandson heard that He Lianhu, king of Beiyi Khan, should not succeed. Now his sons and brothers are fighting fiercely." Su Nancheng said.

"Isn't this a good thing?" Third Uncle Su Yingji said, "Let's go fight among ourselves, it's good to kill anyone."

Su Jincheng said: "Third Uncle, if their old King Khan dies, no matter who ascends the throne, I'm afraid... will send troops."

"This... what if they can't produce results in three to five years?" Su Yingji asked.

"In the end there will be results."

The crowd fell silent for a while.

"Now that there is a severe drought in the north, their side will only get worse. The locust plague last year is probably not too bad. If it continues, it doesn't matter whether their old Khan dies or not, I'm afraid they will all go south." Su Nancheng said.

Since ancient times, the barbarians in the north had nothing to eat, so they went south to grab it.

Today's Beiyi is in the stage of nomadic transition to settlement.

But most Beiyi people are still used to living on the grasslands.

"It's an eventful autumn." Cheng Kanghou sighed.

"You don't have to look so far right now, old seven, what do you think of the crown prince?" Su Yingqu asked.

Su Nancheng complained about his own father's words in his heart, so he didn't have to look so far.

But he still replied: "Back to father, it's hard to say about the son, but I just think it's unlikely that His Majesty will abolish the crown prince again?"

Everyone nodded, this is true, and the ministers will not allow it if they make a fuss again.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made some contributions this time. Many people in the court say he is good. But there are also many people who impeach him." Su Yingqu glared at Su Nancheng when he said this.

Presumably during this period of time, the Su family father and son have often made things better for Su Nancheng.

"By the way, there is one more thing, you don't know yet, right?" Cheng Kanghou said: "The countries in the Western Regions haven't sent this year's annual tribute yet."

Su Nancheng was taken aback, isn't it usually around Mid-Autumn Festival?

"Is this going to be sent?"

"The drought also affected them. It's just that they haven't sent anything or sent envoys so far. Your Majesty was angry once because of this." Cheng Kanghou said.

There are four or five small countries in the Western Regions, which are really not big.

So no matter whether it was Dayuan or Beiyi, they didn't fight, and they didn't have much sense of presence.

For thousands of years, they have been attached to the Central Plains.

It was the same in several dynasties before the Yuan Dynasty.

Now this is, giving birth to a rebellion?
"Forget it, let's talk about these things. You just came back and are tired. Go and see your mother first. Let's have a banquet." Cheng Kanghou waved his hand.

Su Nancheng has a status in the family now, he came back from a long way, he should have a family banquet.

Su Nancheng agreed, and went to Feng's to pay his respects.

Both aunts were there, as were several sister-in-laws.

Everyone greeted politely, and Su Nancheng kowtowed to Feng.

Feng Shi was naturally polite.

After the greetings, everyone cheers before going to the main courtyard to set up meals.

When Su Nancheng finally returned home, it was almost dusk.

In the carriage, Su Nancheng held Mr. Feng Zhu's hand: "I've been away for a long time, thank you for your hard work."

"There is nothing wrong at home, I just came to the Marquis Mansion the next day to pay my respects. I didn't make any rules, so I didn't have to do any hard work. It's my husband who has worked so hard, so I went out for a while, and saw that he lost a lot of weight and got tanned." Mr. Fengzhu said embarrassingly. .

"Hehe, the north side is not very good." Su Nancheng said, then leaned against the car wall and sighed.

He is very tired, his body is very tired, and his heart is also tired.

Mr. Fengzhu held his hand distressedly: "No matter what, let's go back and have a good rest. Can you not go to the city defense camp tomorrow?"

"No, I still have something to do tomorrow. It's okay, just rest overnight." Su Nancheng closed his eyes, squeezed her hand: "Is the capital okay these days? What's interesting?"

Mr. Fengzhu is not a person who likes gossip, but in order to appease him, he still gossips.

At first, Su Nancheng still answered the phone, but slowly fell asleep leaning on the carriage.

Toyotake-kun waited for him to fall asleep before sighing softly.

Her girl whispered: "Young master is exhausted."

Mr. Fengzhu nodded, but just held Su Nancheng's hand and did not let go.

After the car stopped at the door of the house, Su Nancheng woke up by himself.

"Let's set up a table in your room tonight." Su Nancheng said with a sigh.
