The 239th Expedition
When there was an endless dispute in the warm pavilion of the imperial study, Mo Xuan, who was recalled by the emperor, was personally guarding the door with a sword at this time. In addition www.biquge.info the closest janissary to the East Warm Pavilion is also twenty steps away. If the Praetorian Guards twenty paces away couldn't hear what was being debated inside the Dongnuan Pavilion, then Mo Xuan, who was standing in front of the Dongnuan Pavilion, could undoubtedly hear it very clearly.
When the emperor opened his mouth and asked, "What do you think of the scholars?" Mo Xuan's heart tightened, after all, Huang Jiyun was just a civil servant and not a general!
However, Mo Xuan underestimated Huang Jiyun after all, he was not only a scholar, but also a confidant who was introduced by the emperor and traveled all over the world. Otherwise, he would not have resigned from his official position to travel the world in order to support the current emperor, and made friends with capable people and well-educated people.
Huang Jiyun held the Chao Wat in his hand, bowed down and saluted: "The ancestors once said: Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away!" Thus creating the myth of a powerful era. Today, we can also be the strength of the heavens/dynasties, the return of the people, show the soldiers, and recruit the strong slaves who come to invade! Holy Decree, Please! After Huang Jiyun finished speaking, he bowed to the end.
The people who were arguing in the court before were all quiet at the moment, no matter what they thought, they all kept silent at the moment, waiting for the emperor to make a decision. And Mo Xuan listened to the blood boiling outside the door.
The emperor looked at Huang Jiyun's gaze with a slight smile, but he did not show his attitude, but majestically glanced at several civil and military ministers present, most of the people who can be summoned today have a certain influence in the court, and the emperor needs to see their attitude.
Needless to say, General Fuyuan was naturally ecstatic at the moment, looking at the emperor with anticipation, and the military department was still in the department, at this moment, some people were carefully observing the emperor's expression and figuring out the sacred heart; Some people are bowing their heads and pondering countermeasures; Only the military department Shangshu himself, after a little thought, bowed down and saluted: "The minister is stupid, please be punished by the saint!" ”
Obviously, there are no fools who can do the book of the military department, it is not so much that Huang Jiyun is speaking, it is better to say that Huang Jiyun is the voice of the saint. This is what the Holy Ones mean! With the statement of the military department, for a while, except for a few old subordinates when the emperor was still the fourth prince, they all expressed their approval and asked the emperor to send troops.
And the emperor was still not in a hurry to express his position at this time, but looked at the Hubu Shangshu who was standing aside and had not spoken, which was also the emperor's old subordinate back then.
After pondering for a while, the Hubu Shangshu came out and said: "In addition to the appropriations from various places this year, if there are no other accidents, there will be a surplus, and the imperial court will be able to build new water conservancy in the coming year, but this surplus is not enough to support the Northwest War." And once the south is not peaceful, the northwest will start the war again, and I am afraid that the treasury will ...... Empty again! After speaking, Hubu Shangshu also bowed to the end.
As a result, there was a stalemate again. But at this time, it was a confrontation between civil ministers and military generals. Huang Jiyun understood that this was what the emperor wanted. Wenchen and military generals join forces, I'm afraid that the emperor will be uneasy in his heart, right?
But Mo Xuan didn't think about it so much, first his blood was boiling outside the door, and then he was passionate, but who knew that the head of the household was still alive, and a basin of cold water poured it on him. Mo Xuan really wanted to go in and express two opinions, but he didn't have the impulse in the end, he understood that he didn't have the qualifications to stand inside and talk.
No one expected that the argument inside would finally be ended by Prince Yi of the Seventh Prince. Prince Yi, who had been silent, suddenly came out to ask for war, not to mention the civil and military officials, even the emperor didn't expect it, but the emperor finally revealed, and today summoned these civil and military ministers to the palace for deliberations, the first smile since he came.
The emperor's eyes were gratifying, affirming, and encouraging. Naturally, the emperor wanted to send troops to quell the chaos and defend against foreign enemies. But who will lead the troops is a key, if there is no suitable candidate, the emperor is willing and muddy. After all, the northwest is not as good as the south, at least in the emperor's heart, the two places are different.
At least in the south, there is still the sea across it, and the manpower that can attack is limited, and a small number of people entering the Celestial/Imperial Continent are really insignificant to the entire imperial court, and they cannot shake the foundation of the country, or it cannot affect the imperial power. The northwest will be completely different, and it is likely that a large number of foreigners will invade the Central Plains and set off wars everywhere.
Prince Yi of the Seventh Prince is naturally a very reassuring candidate for the emperor, and he is willing to take the initiative to stand up and ask for his life, the emperor is naturally happy, and many problems are no longer problems.
Hearing that the Dongnuan Pavilion had finally decided to send troops to the northwest, Mo Xuan was excited. After the ministers took orders one after another, Mo Xuan couldn't help the excitement in his heart, and went to see the emperor as soon as possible.
The emperor looked at Mo Xuan, who was flushed with excitement, and had a headache. Speaking of which, Mo Xuan is the emperor's son and nephew who grew up, and he naturally trusts and cultivates it intentionally in his heart. After all, the relationship between Mo Xuan and the Cheng'en Mansion is well known. In this way, there is no need to worry about strengthening the descendants because of Mo Xuan's relationship and controlling the imperial power in the future.
Moreover, Mo Xuan is not a member of the royal family, so there is no need to worry about him paying attention to the imperial power. However, Mo Xuan was only eighteen or nineteen years old, which was not enough for a weak crown. And there is no war experience, how can the emperor rest assured? Mo Xuan is the minister of the humerus he cultivated for his son!
For a while, the emperor frowned and looked at Mo Xuan hesitating, but Mo Xuan seemed to be iron-hearted, he couldn't kneel for a long time, lowered his head and didn't look at the emperor's expression, which made the emperor cry and laugh very much.
In the end, Mo Xuan took the queen's route for the first time, and even took the prince's route, seeking a chance to be a pioneer general. The emperor ordered him to follow the Seventh Prince Yeyi and set out with the army five days later.
Although Mo Xuan was busy with this matter, he did not forget Lin Ruhai's death day, and as soon as the city gate was opened early the next morning, Mo Xuan rode out of the city and went to Daiyu's Zhuangzi. Coincidentally, except for Yingchun and Yunbaozhou, because they have never come here because of avoidance, everyone else is the same as yesterday, no less than one is not bad.
And Huang Jiyun was obviously busy with the expedition and came over very late. From where the emperor learned that Mo Xuan was about to go on an expedition, Huang Jiyun was very worried. After all, he roughly guessed that the emperor's plan for Daiyu, and even from Huang Jiyun's point of view, he did not agree. Therefore, Huang Jiyun was extremely dissatisfied with Mo Xuan's initiative to ask for the expedition.
But Mo Xuan's words made Huang Jiyun suddenly feel for the first time that the emperor might also really love Daiyu, thinking of this, Huang Jiyun even had a moment of trance, only to hear Mo Xuan say shyly: "I have to earn a future on my own, don't I?" You can't stay in the Praetorian Guard forever. Hehe. ”
Huang Jiyun didn't want to say anything more when he saw this, it was better to have ideas and be motivated than relying on Zu Meng to make a living, right? I had to nod and say: "Pay attention to your own safety, we are all waiting for you, and win and triumph as soon as possible!" ”
Mo Xuan grinned, and after paying homage to Lin Ruhai, he hurriedly returned to the city to prepare for the expedition. What he didn't know was that the conversation between him and Huang Jiyun was completely listened to by Hongshi, who was standing at the corner not far away at that time, but neither of them thought that there would be someone listening to the corner in Daiyu's Zhuangzi, and it was not a confidential matter, so they did not take precautions.
Hongshi looked at Mo Xuan's distant back, and said with a secret smile in his heart: This is really God helping me! Even the most powerful competitors are gone...... Thinking of this, Hongshi couldn't help but laugh, but unfortunately, this is Daiyu's Zhuangzi and the territory of the Lin family.
After everyone worshiped Lin Ruhai in the evening, Fang left one after another, and Hongshi returned to the palace, and went to the courtyard of Concubine Hou with excitement, talking about Mo Xuan's upcoming expedition. Concubine Hou was not as excited as Hongshi imagined, but sneered: "Can I find out who he is going on the expedition with?" ”
Hong Shi was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what Concubine Hou meant, her face couldn't help but be gloomy, and she thought about it before saying: "No matter who you go with on the expedition, just one point, that Lin girl is about to be filial, and the mother concubine must act quickly, and she must settle this matter before the class teacher returns to the court." Not to mention anything else, just that Huang Jiyun is a big help. ”
Concubine Hou saw that Hongshi had an idea, so she nodded, pulled Hongshi to sit down next to her, and said with a smile: "Since I have thought about it in my heart, then the mother concubine cooperates with you, I think she is just a righteous daughter, and the prince will not refute my face for this idea, and Shi'er is still married to Ming Media, which has already given her a big face!" Hongshi heard Concubine Hou so assured, and was naturally complacent.
At this time, Princess Wujun also learned that Mo Xuan was going to go to the northwest with the army, but because this matter was fought for by the queen mother for Mo Xuan, she didn't say much, just a few more words of advice and some packing for him.
Before the expedition, Mo Xuan still returned to the Cheng'en Mansion, although the Cheng'en Gong did not want to see this son, but he was his own son, and he was very regarded by the saints, so the Cheng'en Gong still explained to him in the study for a long time before he was sent out.
Duchess Cheng'en is not like this, although her son does not like Mo Xuan, she is still very kind to Mo Xuan, at least on the surface. Her son Mo Ang was friendly with Mo An, the eldest son of his former wife, and she herself wooed Mo Xuan, although the effect was not as good as his son's.
At this time, Mo Xuan said that she was going to go on the expedition, she tried her best to show a loving motherly appearance, preparing here for Mo Xuan, where to prepare, seeing that Mo An was very dissatisfied, but she couldn't say anything, but the anger in her heart was burning secretly.
Mo Xuan stayed in the Cheng'en Mansion for one day, and then went to the Wujun Mansion the next day. Of course, it's just to go back and rest, and most of the time it's in the military department or the palace of Prince Yi.
Hongshi naturally saw all this in his eyes, and secretly hoped that Mo Xuan would leave as soon as possible, until the day before departure, something happened that made Hongshi very angry.
Mo Xuan actually led a cage to the outside of the city the day before departure, and Gu stared at Daiyu Zhuangzi's eyeliner to report that Mo Xuan went to Daiyu's Zhuangzi. And the steward named Lin De on Daiyu Zhuangzi actually let Mo Xuan in! Hongshi secretly thought in his heart: Wait for the future to see the master and not abolish your dog minion!
Hongshi didn't know that what Mo Xuan was carrying was not a cage, but a parrot rack, and a parrot, which he asked Daiyu to take care of on his behalf.
And Daiyu asked Lin De to invite Mo Xuan into the village, because she learned that Mo Xuan was going to the northwest, counting the days, the northwest had begun to snow, at least this winter, Mo Xuan and they were going to stay in the northwest, so Lin De invited Mo Xuan into the village, so that he could explain two things to him.
did not invite Mo Xuan to go to the garden, but Daiyu came to the front yard in person and handed over the two drawings in her hand to Mo Xuan. ”
After speaking, Daiyu said with a smile: "I heard from the master that the Seventh Prince led the army to the northwest to defend against foreign enemies, Yu'er couldn't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but she also wanted to do a little bit." This sleigh is extremely convenient to pull goods or transport people in the snow, and it is unknown whether it can be used, if Brother Mo agrees to bring it, Yu'er will take care of the parrot for you, you say okay? ”
Mo Xuan's eyes lit up after hearing this, for Daiyu's various drawings, Mo Xuan also learned about them by chance, but those were all used for the sea waterproof army, Mo Xuan never thought that Daiyu would be able to come up with drawings that are conducive to the northwest snow, so he said happily: "Then it's decided!" Anyway, I took advantage of you. ”
Mo Xuan hurriedly said goodbye after eating a cup of tea, he had to hurry up and present this drawing to the Holy Lord and the Seventh Prince Ye Yi before leaving. Now that the business has been said, Daiyu will not leave guests. He didn't even send him off in person, but before Mo Xuan went out, he said softly: "Take care all the way!" Mo Xuan nodded and left.
