"Uh......"

Mu Shang emitted a single tone in embarrassment, not knowing what to say. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He only cared about confirming whether Princess Zhaoying really supported the five princes, but accidentally forgot that once Princess Zhaoying succeeded to the throne, Sikong Yan's identity would be extremely embarrassing. Maybe a dignified and talented man in the capital will be reduced to being a male pet in the harem......

However, after this, Mu Shang was sure that Princess Zhaoying did not have the idea of taking the heir, so his goal was very clear. When approaching chess, Mufu should stand on the side of the second prince, and when walking far chess, it should stand on the side of the fifth prince.

This is a long move, and at the same time, it is also a risky move. No one knows how long it will take for Emperor Yonghui to return to heaven, no one knows if the remaining time is enough for Jiang Xu to grow into a generation of emperors, or rather, he, like many people, does not think that Sikong Yan has the ability to arrange everything for the five princes in such a short period of time.

But he didn't have a choice. Because you don't have to think about it to know that the second prince doesn't bother to form an alliance with him at all.

As the concubine of Mufu, it is not so much that he chose Jiang Xu, but that Sikong Yan chose him.

"The same two forces from the same concubine, if they don't unite together, there is no possibility of ascending to the top. This is what Mu Shang thought in his heart when he first met Sikong Yan. And he thought in his heart that this was the reason why Sikong Yan took the initiative to come to him.

And after communicating with Sikong Yan for a few days, his opinion completely changed.

Previously, he only thought that Sikong Yan's reputation as "the first genius in the capital" was hyped up, mostly because he was handsome and very young, so he was imposed such a name by secular people.

But now Mu Shang feels that the world's understanding of Sikong Yan's ability is far from enough.

If Sikong Yan didn't have him as an ally, he could still assist Jiang Xu to succeed to the throne, but if he didn't get Sikong Yan's help, what awaited him was only the fate of being suppressed by Mu Xiang for a lifetime.

It's not like an alliance, it's more like a gift from a monarch to his subordinates.

And he had no choice but to be his courtier.

About two or three hours passed. The topic has changed from who came to power to military and political. Shen Lanying didn't understand military and politics, but it was that stranger names and place names appeared too frequently in the conversation, so she couldn't understand them at all. Even if he could understand a sentence or two occasionally, he didn't know what to say, so he simply sat there quietly, answering from time to time according to Sikong Yan's instructions.

Wang Leyu has already served tea and snacks to the three of them four times. The meeting between the two leaders shows no sign of ending.

Boredom looking out the window, the sunlight is warm and soft, the trees and vegetation are lush, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the breeze is blowing, and even the sound of children can be faintly heard laughing and playing.

She was admiring the scene outside the window, and in the next moment, she was startled by Mu Shang's sudden shout. "Mr. Sikong, you mean that the traitor in Mufu is General Heling!? This, how is this possible. After laying the groundwork on this topic for a while, Sikong Yan finally succeeded in making Mu Shang jump excitedly.

Shen Lanying turned her head back to the meeting center with an expressionless face, and sure enough, the world in the room was much more real than outside the house.

Sikong Yan smiled slightly, "Young Master Mushang, whether you believe it or not, General Heling's suspicion is the greatest. The battle of Qihe is the best proof, it is said that the soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, and the military rations in the hands of General Heling were delayed for two months. Lord Tusi had obviously taken advantage before, and the army of Mufu had also penetrated more than 100 miles into Tibet, why did he then withdraw to the Yong Dynasty. Although it is claimed that Mu Fu is willing to consolidate the country with benevolence and righteousness, Young Master Mu Shang should know very well. The real reason for Mufu's retreat was nothing more than that the army's battle line was too far away, and the food and salary supplies could not keep up with the needs of the army. ”

Listening to Sikong Yan's analysis, Mu Shang gradually calmed down and thought about this problem. There are traitors in Mufu, which Mu Shang and Mu Xiang have speculated, but no one knows who the traitors are, and what potential forces in Lijiang threaten Lijiang's rule.

Sikong Yan had seen Mu Shang for a few days, and he had basically established a friendship, and Sikong Yan began to show him his strength.

Shen Lanying picked up the teacup, pretended to be unfathomable, and took a sip, but in fact, she didn't even know who He Ling was.

"What does Mr. Sikong mean that the traitor is actually a Tubo person?" Mu Shang thought for a while, recalled what He Ling had done, and felt that what Sikong Yan said was not unreasonable, but He Ling had been in Mu Mansion for more than ten years, and he really couldn't think of He Ling's motives.

"Not necessarily. Sikong Yan shook his head and said seductively, "Maybe he is just one of the many forces that want to shake the rule of the Mu Mansion. This move is just to weaken Mufu, maybe it is not possible. Young Master Mu Shang, what you need to pay attention to now is not what force that traitor comes from, but who he will be in the future. ”

Mu Shang was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Sikong Yan meant, "Please also ask Mr. to make it clear." ”

Before Sikong Yan could speak, Shen Lanying had already received Sikong Yan's hint, elongated her tone, and explained unhurriedly following Sikong Yan's appearance: "This is very simple, now you don't know where the traitor is, if Mu Xiang preemptively knows who the traitor is, I guess he won't tell Lord Tusi the truth." But it will blame you, not only to make a great contribution, but also to get rid of the enemy, killing two birds with one stone, why not. ”

Mu Shang's brows tightened, and he completely fell into deep thought, Shen Lanying's words made him break out in a cold sweat in the not too cold autumn, after all, this kind of technique was something he had never thought of, and this kind of technique would be a devastating blow to him.

Sikong Yan is very right, it doesn't matter what kind of force the traitor is, and even the identity of the traitor in Mufu doesn't matter, what really matters is whose house has the traitor, is it Mu Xiang, or him?

Mufu is a place where there is a clear distinction between concubines and concubines, and his mother does not compete for honor at all, allowing the rich woman to slowly climb to the seat of the main room. He had already given up competing for the position of Tusi, but after seeing Sikong Yan, his heart seemed to resurge.

The finances of the whole of Lijiang depend on the gold mines, which are 80 percent of the economic source of the whole of Lijiang, but looking at the numbers on the gold mine ledger that are decreasing year by year, no one is not worried about the future of Mufu.

The appearance of Sikong Yan and Princess Zhaoying made him feel hope, if the two of them could guide him financially to a way out, then he could lead Mufu out of the predicament and have a strong fight for the position of Tusi.

What Mu Shang never expected was that Sikong Yan not only gave him several clever suggestions financially, but also pointed out that there were moles in Mu Mansion.
