Chapter 411: Let's Go Home
He Muller didn't know why things had come to this point.
Maybe her political talent has never been on the top of sixty, maybe compared to the real political talent of Beiliang, she is a scum with a combat power of minus five, all in all, no matter how powerful and domineering she was in the main hall that day, after three days, the scapegoat became the palace maid named Li Er.
An obvious murder, but it turned into Daxingyi being bitten by a poisonous snake while going to the toilet, and ran out of the toilet room to see Li Er, but fainted because he was too excited.
Daxingyi died in front of her, but there were fragrant beans everywhere, everyone knew who had been here, she didn't have time to pick up all the fragrant beans to cover up the traces she had appeared, and when she saw this envoy / body held high, she simply gritted her teeth, didn't do anything, messed up her clothes, and then slapped herself seventeen or eight times, and lay on the ground and pretended to faint.
Daxingyi, because of her momentary fear, so delayed the illness and died.
As for the person who was waiting for the toilet of Daxingyi, he also found it, he said that Daxingyi did not want him to go into the toilet, so he left halfway, and this person was directly killed with a cane for dereliction of duty.
And those who drank Beiliang also checked repeatedly with the medical officers of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the result was that there was no problem at all.
A qiē comes to the conclusion that things are just a number of accidents superimposed on top of each other.
"Do you believe it too? Can you listen to such stupid words?" He Mulan roared angrily at the envoys of the Wei State, "Daxingyi died so aggrieved, can't he get any justice?"
"This is the best result, General Flower." A former deputy of Li Shun looked at He Mullan with an expression of "You are indeed a martial artist".
"Fuqu Muqian will be locked up by Queen Meng and deprived of all official positions for a trivial matter, which is already the meaning of the Liang Kingdom to show us who the murderer is, but it can't be handed over to us."
He analyzed towards He Mulan: "Although General Hua said tough, but we are now at war with Beiyan, no one wants to really fight with Bei Liang, the country will not want to fight on two fronts, once it really fights, Liu Song will not be unmoved, and when the time comes, even if we can win, it will be a miserable victory."
"In this case, King Liang and the queen maintained the reputation of Daxingyi in this way, and disposed of the accomplices, and they were even willing to compensate Daxingyi's family for a sum of gold and silver that was enough for them to spend several lifetimes, which was much better than when Daxingyi was wronged in the first place."
The deputy pursed his lips.
"Not to mention ......"
"Not to mention, in order to calm our anger and dispel our doubts, King Liang even let Fuqu Bodhi enter the capital with us as a proton. Although Queen Meng once said that she would send him to our country to be a proton after the position of the prince was established, after all, it is safest to follow us now, unless Queen Meng and King Liang really disregard the safety of the last concubine for the sake of Beiliang, otherwise we will be safe on the way."
Liu Zhen continued with his words.
"Although Daxingyi died unjustly, His Majesty will not treat his family badly, nor will he let him go like this. I believe that His Majesty will ask Beiliang for debts for this great post in the future, just like now welcoming back the envoy Yu Shimen, who has been imprisoned in Beiyan for decades......" This incident made many envoys full of confidence in their envoys, because the state would not give up on them.
"Meng Yulong personally acted as a guide, and Bei Liang was willing to put the princess and Bodhi in our team, so we were already able to express enough apologies."
He Mullan's heart was in great pain.
She knew they were right, but because they were right, she couldn't accept it.
She knew that it was an unacceptable result for both parties to make a fuss at this time, and she also knew that Frustrated Muqian would not die because of such a thing, but the real murderer was at large, while the innocent children and women had to bear the bitter fruits of their brother's crime?
A great post for a noble-born prince, everyone in the mission thought it was worth it, but everyone persuaded her to give up?
How could she give up?
"General Hua, you are a military general, so it is difficult to understand our thoughts." An envoy saw He Mulan's incredulous and unwilling expression, and although his heart was ironed, he still said as a matter of course: "Just as your generals are ready to die on the battlefield, we, the envoys of Honglu Temple, are also ready to die in a foreign land......
He said very calmly: "A foreign country is our battlefield, conspiracy, poisoning, half-way interception, intrigue, and verbal swords, these are the weapons of both sides. We are ready to fight for the interests of the country with our own death at any time, because we are not only a little sad about the death of Daxingyi, but we just want to use this matter to seek greater benefits for our country."
"You say that we are ruthless, or that we are ruthless, but now the Liang King and Empress Liang are willing to open the borders of Beiliang to allow the merchants and guards of the Wei State to come and go to trade, and exchange Bodhi for our trust, but it cost Daxingyi the life of one person, which is really worth it."
"You ......"
"Do you know what it would cost to open the door of a country and send a child under normal circumstances? Sometimes it's even something that can only be done when the corpses are all over the field and the national strength is exhausted." He stared into Hermulan's eyes and said word by word:
"Don't say it's a big line, if someone sues me, as long as I die, I can let my country's merchants enter and leave Liangguo at will from now on, and I will die calmly in the next moment."
The world is crazy.
The prince of Beiliang murdered the envoys of Wei, and now the envoys of Wei are taking turns to persuade her not to interfere in this matter anymore, because this deal is very profitable?
Because every one of them is in. [,! Treat yourself as a cargo.
For a moment, He Mullan felt that this result was very absurd, completely beyond her anticipation and excitement in the past three days. What she was waiting for was the helpless King Liang, who could only press the frustrated Muqian to their embassy and ask to appease their anger......
He Mulan wanted to say something more, but was pulled by Yuan Fang beside him.
"Our general is just a little stubborn, he will accept it." She heard Yuan Fang say this, "We will persuade him, everyone please do what you want to do first. The national letter of opening up the borders of the Liang Kingdom, and how to place the upcoming Princess Xingping and the Bodhi Prince, there are still many things that you have to work hard, so we will not participate in it......"
She saw Yuan Fang look at herself worriedly.
"As for the general, I think he should be quiet."
The rest of the envoys showed expressions of "understanding" and "understanding", and left one by one under the pretense of having something, only Liu Zhen stayed until the end, and waited until everyone left to be in the house.
"General Hua, you should know that I am the Egret Officer who stayed in the mission under the order of the Hou Guan." He looked at Mulan, who was obviously in a daze, and sighed slightly.
"I'm here because His Majesty and Su He don't want to rest assured."
He Mulan was slightly stunned.
"In our opinion, you are a little too upright. Although the soldiers of our Great Wei are indomitable and invincible, it is only a means to deter the enemy. The real victory is never on the battlefield, but after a brutal battle, by these envoys and ministers of the kingdom in a different kind of battle under the battlefield."
He was worried that Hermulan would become suspicious of him because of this, so he stayed behind to tell her about the cruelty of the world.
"I've always been a clerk, and I don't know how many hidden egret officials like me are in the Wei Kingdom, maybe there are powerful soldiers in your tiger army that you don't know are actually an egret."
"The cruelty we have seen is not only from the battlefields of swords and swords, but also from the many unknown ministers who died, the envoys who were robbed and killed on the way out, and the magistrates who had to give up their positions and lives because of compromise...... Many people may not have died at all."
"But my Great Wei has come to this day step by step on so many sacrifices. Among the sixteen kingdoms in the past, where are the traces of our Wei Kingdom? At that time, the Great Wei was just an inconspicuous little generational country. But why is it that the Wei State is getting stronger and stronger, while the rest of the countries have become clouds of the past?"
Liu Zhen looked at He Mulan, who was slowly recovering.
"Someone has to make a sacrifice, and someone has to suffer the consequences of the sacrifice and then grit their teeth and move on."
"You're just not used to it, and when you get older and see more and more things, you won't be so angry and incredulous."
"I don't think I'll ever get used to it."
Hermulan spoke hatefully.
"But you're right, now that the matter has been born, what I should do is not how to let the murderer die, but to make the sacrifice of Daxingyi more meaningful."
There was a cold glint in her eyes.
"Bei Liang has to pay the price, and that's not enough."
Changming Palace.
"I didn't know you were willing to make such a sacrifice." Frustrated Qu Mengxun looked at his wife with a guilty face, "Bodhi will be fine, I have already sent all my dead soldiers to him as guards, and they will be his guards from now on."
"Won't I protect my own son?" Queen Meng looked at Fuqu Mengxun with a sad expression: "I gave birth to three sons for you, and these three sons have made the greatest sacrifice for Bei Liang. Monson, I'm starting to regret marrying you a little."
She choked up and said, "How happy I was then, all I think about every day is what kind of fox I will hunt tomorrow......"
Frustrated Meng Xun recalled the past with her rare weakness, and couldn't help but show a nostalgic smile: "I wasn't King Liang at that time, the only thing I was thinking about was how to get King Duan to give me that sword he had."
Duan Dawang is talking about Duan Ye, the real pioneer of Beiliang.
The foundation of Beiliang was seized by Fuqu's father and son after taking revenge on Duan Ye.
At that time, no one knew that they would shoulder such a huge country on their backs, Fuqu Mengxun was only the son of the chief of Lushui Huhao in the Northland, and Meng Qiushuang was only the most favored daughter of the White Horse Qiang Leader in the Northland.
"You believe me, Bodhi will eventually ascend to the throne......" Frustrated Qu Mengxun looked at his wife gently, "I am also sad about the death of Zhengde and Xingguo, but my old vows will not be invalidated. Maybe Mu Jian will be proud for a long time, but in the end Bodhi is the final winner. I don't lie about it, you may not understand it now, but you will know later that the best path I have chosen for Bodhi is ......"
'Maybe you've left Bodhi with some kind of backhand.'
King Meng choked up behind him, but he was sneering in his heart.
'But our mother and son are not rare.'
Frustrated Meng Xun may have felt very guilty about Queen Meng's sacrifice, and the two snuggled together for a long time, talking softly while reminiscing about the past.
However, the better he reminisced about the past, the more difficult it was for Queen Meng to breathe.
She felt like the frog that had been boiled in warm water, because the environment was comfortable at first, and gradually it came to this point, until the youngest child was almost poisoned.
If he had been trying to protect them, why had she ended up like this?
She is not an ignorant woman, she has also seen the one who was preached". [,! ] weak", his words at that time are still fresh in her memory.
"As a lord of the country, the best thing that can be given to a woman is to show the greatest favor that can give her fearlessness, to put her son on the throne, and to ......"
He said with a smile.
"Even if you die, you can continue to live without worry and honor."
So from the very beginning, she didn't believe in anything like "shields", "I pamper other women because I care about your reputation" and the like.
She's just trying to get her son on the throne.
Now that the son who wants to be the king has gone, the biggest wish of the remaining one is to travel all over the world, why should she pretend to be disgusting and perfunctory to him?
Thinking of this, Queen Meng almost couldn't wait to push away the frustrated Meng Xun who was nestled on him.
"At this time, the white horse must be naughty again and refuses to sleep, I want to go and see. Your Majesty, please do it." Hakuba is her daughter, Bodhi's older sister, and has a boy-like personality.
Thinking of that naughty and lawless daughter, Frustrated Meng Xun sighed with a headache: "Although I am not going to kiss this daughter, it is not good to dance with a knife and a gun every day, you still ......"
"I'm going to let her take over guarding the tunnels after I'm dead." Queen Meng just used one sentence to gag the frustrated Meng Xun's mouth.
"She may marry late, or she may not marry at all, I have to exercise her skills, and the king doesn't have to worry about it."
Queen Meng nodded casually to him, and was about to leave the palace, but she paused again, turned back to him and said, "Great King, after Bodhi leaves me, I don't know when I will be able to return. I only have this daughter Chenghuan on my knees now, and I can't let her have a little mistake. After Bodhi leaves, I am not ready to leave the Middle Palace again, and the white horse must also stay with me, is that okay?"
Frustrated Meng Xun's heart softened, "I know what you're worried about, I won't meddle in the affairs of the palace, and I will also withdraw the guards who are in charge of your safety."
Because of the fear of the rebellion of the Meng family, there are also people in the tunnel who are frustrated and Meng Xun patrolling at any time, these guards do not listen to the command of Queen Meng, and there are frequent troubles among these people, Bodhi has been assassinated several times before, and they are all guards belonging to this faction.
But because there was no way to control Queen Meng, even if he knew that this group of people was no longer trustworthy, he could only continue to use it.
But now, because Queen Meng's most relied on hand Bodhi has been handed over to the Wei people, the guilty frustrated Qu Mengxun finally let go and completely handed over the control of the tunnel to Queen Meng.
"After so many years, I've finally waited for this sentence......"
A teardrop crossed the corner of Queen Meng's eye.
As if his heart had been burned through by the teardrops, he almost fled from the middle palace in a deserted manner.
"Mother, is my father gone?"
The timid Bodhi poked his head out of the side room.
Behind him, a little girl who looked like Queen Meng walked out with a big grin and rolled her eyes.
"If you want to go to Wei State, he must be so weak that he doesn't even dare to stay longer!"
"White horse, don't always push your brother out as a black cauldron!"
Queen Meng knew at a glance that Bodhi was prodded by her sister to do this act of secretly hiding behind and eavesdropping.
Bai Ma stuck out his tongue, "He also wants to, but he doesn't dare to do it, I pushed him to give him a suitable excuse, I am the bad guy, it's really bitter."
Queen Meng really didn't know who Bai Ma's out-of-the-box temperament looked like, she and Fuqu Mengxun were both steady and cautious people.
If she hadn't known that she had been loyal to Furu Meng Xun for so many years, she would have almost thought that this was her drunken and promiscuous child.
A girl's personality is like a scoundrel, this is like a word!
"Mother, can we leave soon?" Hakuba looked at his mother expectantly, "Go see where the merchants and guards said?"
The smoky Jiangnan, the vast Central Plains, the vast desert, and......
Various types of handsome men?
It's great, as long as she thinks that she doesn't have to choose a slightly higher one in a group of people to marry, she can't wait to leave immediately.
Bodhi also looked at Queen Meng with blank eyes.
He has never left his mother when he is so old.
"Cousin Yulong will protect me, right? It won't be long before I see the queen mother again, right?"
"You're so stupid, if you want to leave for a little longer, your mother will be crazy, how can you stay outside longer. Wait, wait for us to pick you up! "
The white horse's heartless words seemed to comfort Bodhi's worried heart, and he laughed along.
"Don't worry, we'll all be fine. Mother has been waiting for this day for many years......" Queen Meng hugged a pair of children and nodded silently.
"Everyone will protect you, not to mention, that Hua Mulan of Wei is a very upright and good person, and she will not harm you like others......"
Queen Meng thought about it, squatted down, and instructed Bodhi in a very cautious tone.
"But Mulan is a good person, it doesn't mean that the envoys of Wei are all good people. When you arrive at the Wei State Mission, you must follow Mulan every step of the way, so that even if someone wants to plot against you, you will have to pass his level. Someone like him would never let anything happen to you, you know?"
"I understand."
Bodhi nodded.
"Even if I lose face, I will follow him.".
[,! "Just say that it was said by Grandma, and he will understand."
Queen Meng pinched Bodhi's little face.
"Yes."
On the 15th day of July, the auspicious day of the divination of the people of Beiliang.
On this day, countless turmoil was caused in Beiliang, and the Wei mission, which made all the people of Beiliang afraid and curious, finally left Guzang.
As grand as entering the city, the procession of the Wei people was more noisy and the pomp was more spectacular, because when they came they were only tiger soldiers and missions, but when they left, they took with them their most beautiful princesses and the most noble princes.
This is a shame for all the people of Beiliang, but behind this shame, it is full of the happiness and joy of the people of Beiliang because they sacrificed the prince and princess in exchange for the guarantee of peace.
They numbly thought that this was a real "golden and jade relationship", and it was the affection of Qin and Jin, and even many amorous teenagers were talking about the story of "a beautiful princess and a young and handsome emperor of a foreign country fell in love", and they seemed to have seen the happy future of the two in their words.
The men were guessing how beautiful the kind-hearted Princess Xingping was, and how wise she was when she had been in disaster relief, while the women were crazy about imagining how generous Tuobatao's chest was and how charming his face was.
He is the most valiant warrior and the most resolute and invincible army in the world, his roar makes his enemies tremble, and his smile enchants the most beautiful women.
Even He Mulan, who had always been a little depressed, was in a slightly better mood when he saw that these Beiliang people were so happy about the possible peace that could come.
At least that's what Daxingyi wants to see, not a big basket of rotten eggs and angry glare, she's pretty sure of that.
The corpse of Daxingyi could not be brought back on this hot day, and the Xianbei people held a grand "burning" for him, and even Queen Meng and King Liang personally came to burn a lot of sacrifices. The monks of Beiliang spent his soul in vain, and the poisonous snakes in Guzang City were almost extinct because of this incident......
"We're going home."
He Mulan looked at the clear blue sky, and his feelings were finally driven by this satisfying result.
"Let's go home!"
"Go home! Go home! "
"Wei is mighty!"
The laughter and laughter of the crowd and the hesitation of ease all brewed into a crazy homesickness in Hermulan's simple sentence of "go home".
The envoys of Wei and the Tiger Ben army were almost impatient to bid farewell to the officials of Beiliang and the king and queen of Liang, and then ordered all the horses to gallop wildly.
It's a pity that this is impossible, and I don't know how long I have to be polite before parting.
The Wei envoys, who had become accustomed to this, suddenly felt that even politeness became unacceptable.
If it's Li Shun, I'm afraid I don't know how long I have to talk about it, right?
Look at Mulan again......
"When are you leaving?"
With an impatient face, He Mulan looked at Queen Meng and Frustrated Meng Xun who were walking towards her, and there was an expression on her face, "Can I just leave if it's so troublesome?"
We're sure you'll just go! ’
A group of envoys were hysterical in their hearts.
'Don't worry about us, really! ’
King Meng later came to Hermulan, but his eyes passed through Hermulan's shoulder and looked directly at his son, who was riding a horse and waving his hand at her, showing a smile of encouragement.
"General Hua, I won't be polite if I don't say anything else, I'm just such a son......" she bowed to He Mulan Yingying, "please keep him safe."
"You can rest assured."
He Mullan had always had a crush on the queen and hurried to help her up.
"I will protect the son."
He Mulan helped her up, only to realize that the legendary queen with amazing martial arts was very strong, and she was even an inch taller than herself.
If she hadn't been born in Liangzhou, if she had been born a little later, if she had fought for Tuoba Tao, there would be no Mulan in this world, only "Meng Qiushuang".
The world is really a man-in-law, and Queen Meng's living example tells her what she can force a woman to look like when she enters the court, which makes her have a greater awe of the harem.
Even if you can't be a nanny, that place is not a place for people at all.
Most of his words were polite, and he expressed great concern for his daughter who was in the Wei convoy. In his words, Princess Xingping lives like a saint who will die if she is seen by a man, although in order to gain the trust of Wei State, Princess Xingping's safety is placed under the protection of the Tiger Army, but I still hope that Wei State can understand her reputation and not contact Yunyun too much.
If it weren't for He Mulan's faint investigation of some of Princess Xingping's past, I am afraid that she would really be concealed by this "chaste and virtuous" princess, and she would not dare to let any guards approach her car.
At this time, He Mullan could only nod perfunctorily.
"Rest assured, unless the princess summons us, we will all retreat. What's more, with the Bodhi prince here, and Princess Xingping will not be separated from an inch, there will be nothing you worry about."
Who will have nothing to do with the princess?
Isn't the knife fast enough?
Frustrated Meng Xun was just worried that his daughter would not be able to hide her true nature among so many men, and after repeated instructions, he looked at Hemulan's team as if unintentionally.
"Why isn't General Yuan here?"
"He took the place of the Great Traveler and went to the front early to survey the road." Hemulan's face does not change color, and his heart does not. [,! "Now he's the only one who knows the path."
Tomorrow, Meng Yulong will have one less deputy envoy in the team, but that doesn't matter, the Meng family and the Wei State have formed an alliance, so they won't say much.
Yuan Poqiang used to be a native of Guzang, the prince of Nanliang, he knew that the road was natural, although he was very puzzled in his heart, he could only press the uneasiness in his heart, and send away this group of Wei people before checking.
The frustrated Muqian waited for the queen and the lord to greet each other before he followed.
He had been confined in the uninhabited East Palace before, only Li Jingai was by his side, probably because he was not doing well, and he did stupid things and caused trouble, many officials in Beiliang pretended not to see him, his complexion was not very good, but his expression was not as gloomy and depressed as before.
If he had to say it, his eyebrows seemed to suddenly brighten up a little.
No one knew why he had become like this, and some people looked at him gloatingly, but he also continued to step forward without hesitation, and walked in front of Mullan.
"Why, the lesson is not enough, do you still want to provoke?"
He Mulan really didn't have the slightest affection for this man, and she was ready to complain about Tuoba Tao's disgusting behavior when she returned to China.
Such a man actually married a woman like Li Jingai, who knew the general situation, it was simply a good cabbage that was arched by a pig.
She looked at Queen Meng not far away.
She was wrong, it was two good cabbages that were arched by two pigs.
"In the past, I thought about it, and I won't do it in the future." What didn't make Hermulan think was that the frustrated Muqian gave in without concealment.
"I'm here to have a few words with my brother, is that okay?"
Of course, he was not embarrassed.
No matter how much others laugh at him, look down on him, or think that he almost messed up this qiē, he will no longer be afraid and angry.
For he will be the king of Beiliang, the lord of all the people who will come, and they will bow down under his throne and ask for his mercy.
The peace that this zinc and pro and the hostages have in exchange for will only be an illusion. The peace that everyone has been waiting for will not come at all, it will only be delayed for a while.
In the end, Bei Liang still has to rely on him for support.
No matter how arrogant Hua Mulan is, he is just a small general, and he will become the lord of a vast land......
Why should he......
"No, you can't."
He Mulan looked at him and spat out three words.
…… Deal with him......
Belch?
What did he just hear?
Did he hear it wrong?
"You're not the King of Cool, don't try to tell me what to do."
He swore he had seen something like this in Hermulan's eyes.
I saw He Mulan show a mocking expression, and chuckled at the frustrated Muqian and said, "I'm really sorry, Third Prince, we have delayed too much time, and we can't let you ...... over."
She looked at the people of Wei behind her, who were already restless, and showed the first smile of the day, and shouted loudly.
"Let's go!"
