Expedition
Three days later, the Jinluan Hall was facing upwards.
"Now it is a troubled time, there is a constant nuisance of the Qing Dynasty in the north, and there is a king in the west, which has caused the people to be in dire straits, and the widows are very sad. Today, I am fortunate to have the double branch champion Mo Li Shangxian, Wen Cheng Wude, for my Ming court pillar. This time, the widow wanted to leave Shangxian as the national teacher, and ordered him to lead 100,000 elite soldiers to the Northern Expedition. Do you have any doubts?" said Zhu Youzhan straight to the point.
"Your Majesty, Mo Li's origin is unknown, and he cannot be directly entrusted with important tasks, but should be slowly figured out. Cabinet Auxiliary Minister Wu Youlian retorted.
"What Lord Wu said is extremely true. Although this Mo Li is both civil and military, he has not seen his success. If he is directly entrusted with important tasks, I am afraid that it will arouse the dissatisfaction of some generals. A white-haired old man with a white face and beard chimed in.
Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen frowned, expressing his dissatisfaction with the two of them refuting him.
A middle-aged fat man with oily hair and flour noodles said: "Lord Wu, Lord Zuo, what you two said is wrong. Although this Mo Li Shangxian does not know the origin, he has now become His Majesty's master. Are you two saying this to trap Your Majesty in a place of disloyalty, filial piety, and injustice?"
When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he was even more dissatisfied with Wu Youlian and the others, but he looked up at the fat man twice, and said: "If the widow is not mistaken, your name is Xi Qinglou, and you are the sixth place in the last scientific examination, right? ”
"Thanks to Your Majesty, you still remember the lower officials, and the lower officials are terrified. The lower officials thought that Moli Shangxian was not easy for God to see my Daming, and he specially sent it down to bless my Daming. Unlike some people, they will only protect a single petal lotus. Moreover, Mo Li Shangxian Wencai martial arts, I dare to say that no one in the entire Ming Dynasty can be beaten. In this way, if Mo is not qualified to lead the army to attack the Qing Dynasty, who else is up to the task?" Xi Qinglou hurriedly lowered his head and replied.
Zhu Youzhen saw that Xi Qinglou was slightly the same as what his hero saw, so he asked: "What people say is very true, and widows also think the same. I don't know what kind of official residence the ** person has now?
"Xia Guan is now subordinate to Zhan Shifu, he is a mansion, and his official residence is six grades, but he is a small official the size of a sesame mung bean, and he can't enter His Majesty's eyes. Thanks to His Majesty's concern, the lower officials are terrified. ”
"Such a talented and practical person, but he can only live in six official places, but the pearl is covered with dust. The widow remembers that there is still a lack of Zongzheng in the Zongren Mansion, so how about you temporarily appointing it?" Zhu Youzhen really dared to say, and directly promoted him from the sixth rank to the first rank.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred. Xi Qinglou, who was so excited, was waiting to receive the order to thank him, and suddenly, his head fell to the ground. Such a movement caused a lot of noise in the main hall.
It turned out that Mo Li, who was belated, heard the conversation in the hall from afar, so he directly learned about this Xiqing Building.
"Your Majesty, this person is afraid that he feels that he is not competent, so he will die and hope that His Majesty will think more. Mo Li stepped forward and arched his hand.
Seeing that the person who came was Mo Li, a chaotic kind of civil and military affairs settled down. It's not that Moli reassured them, but that they have all seen Moli's tricks, and they know that it is useless to resist, so they can only force themselves to settle down.
Mo Li's behavior made Zhu Youzhen's face a little unbearable, but he didn't dare to refute, so he had to say: "What the master said is very true, but the widow is not thoughtful. ”
"Your Majesty has a valley in his heart, which is really a blessing of the Ming Dynasty. After Mo Li finished speaking, his eyes swept over all the civil and military officers present, so frightened that they all shrunk their necks one by one, not daring to make a sound.
"Master, the widow wants you to be the national teacher, serve as the chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty, the official residence is a product, the national army is in command, and the official residence is a product, and the official residence is a product, and the affairs of the Zongren Mansion are in charge. I wonder what the master thinks?"
"No, you can't. The deity came to tell His Majesty that His Majesty only needed to hand over the talisman and Yuan Chengzhi to the deity, and His Majesty would not bother with other matters. If Your Majesty is free, you can practice diligently, and at the same time deal with the floods in the south and the drought in the north. As for the matter of the national teacher, His Majesty can arrange it himself. ”
"Obey the teacher's orders. Zhu Youzhen saw that Mo Li had already decided, so he didn't say more. Then he swept to a kind of minister and said, "Can the civil and military officials have any objections?"
"Your Majesty is sage, the national teacher is sage, and the ministers are no different. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty lowered their heads, not daring to look at Zhu Youzhen and Mo Li.
"It's set at this time, it's so set over there. Do you have anything to do with the ministers?"
Seeing that no one answered, Zhu Youzhen said: "Since there is nothing to do, then retreat." ”
Mo Li stopped Wu Youlian and Zuo Mingqiang, who were about to leave, and said, "You two stay for the time being, and the deity will discuss with you two later." ”
Wu Youlian and Zuo Mingqiang showed brown faces, and replied reluctantly: "If the national teacher has anything to discuss, we should cooperate." ”
Seeing that everyone else was almost gone, Mo Li pointed to Xi Qinglou's corpse and said, "Your Majesty, this fat man is a person who can only sneak around and flatter, and he has no real talent. If His Majesty's subordinates are short of manpower, these two people dare to speak and act, and they can consider it. ”
Zhu Youzhen saw Mo Li's words, so he said: "Don't thank you yet, no matter whose faction you two belonged to before, you can only be loyal to the widow in the future." Do you two understand?"
"Whoa!"
"Yuan Chengzhi, come out, the master wants to take you on the Northern Expedition, are you willing to go?"
"Back to Your Majesty, in the next country villager, he learned a martial arts, just because he wanted to serve the country and drive out the Tartars. This time I was fortunate enough to fulfill my dream, even if I died, I don't have to worry about it. ”
"Uncle is a miracle, in this world, I'm afraid no one will hurt your life. ”
Seeing that Zhu Youzhen and Yuan Chengzhi were chatting hotly, Mo Li did not bother, but said: "Two adults, I don't know if I would like to go on the Northern Expedition with me, and after I can drive out the Tartars, I can become famous. ”
"The national teacher is polite, this is the luck of the two of us, how can there be any reason not to go?"
At this time, seeing that Zhu Youzhen and Yuan Chengzhi had also finished speaking, Mo Li said: "Your Majesty, there are still two things to inform Your Majesty. First, these two deities took this to the Northern Expedition to try to solve the troubles as soon as possible; second, this Yuan Chengzhi was originally the son of Yuan Chonghuan, and His Majesty was subjected to the discord of Huang Taiji back then, but his father was a victim of this. This time, the deity took him with him, just to let him kill Huang Taiji with his own hands and avenge this great revenge. ”
"Oh, it turns out that Uncle Shi is actually the son of Yuan Chonghuan. Back then, the widow was deceived by Huang Taiji, and he ordered to kill your father without investigating clearly, and asked Uncle Shi not to blame. ”
"Your Majesty is too worried. There is a debtor and a master, and the father was killed by Huang Taiji, so he naturally has to go to Shanhaiguan to have a chance to take revenge. ”
Hearing Yuan Chengzhi say this, Zhu Youzhen's heart fell to the ground and asked, "I don't know when the master will leave?"
"The deity will go back tonight and give an explanation, and let Mo Er come to protect His Majesty. Early tomorrow morning, the deity will take Lord Zuo, Lord Wu, Brother Chengzhi and Mo Yi to leave Shengjing and go to Shanhaiguan. ”
Back in Mozhuang, Mo Li first explained to Mo Er, one was to let him protect Zhu Youzhen's safety, the second was to ask him to guide Zhu You's maintenance, and the third was to let him investigate the affairs of the Xing family. Mo Li always felt that Mo Er was originally surnamed Xing, and he was afraid that he was inextricably linked with the Xing family.
After explaining Mo Er, Mo Li taught him all the exercises synthesized some time ago, and told him that except for the Liangyi Fist Method and the Five Fowl Opera, other martial arts could not be taught to Zhu Youzhen.
After this incident, Mo Li came to Chen Fang's residence. After telling Chen Yuanyuan about this expedition, he had an affair with Chen Yuanyuan all night. Although Chen Yuanyuan is pregnant and can't do that kind of thing, there is nothing wrong with hugging and kissing me.
The two tossed all night, and it was not until the next morning that Chen Yuanyuan fell asleep deeply.
After waking up, Chen Yuanyuan found that there was no Mo Li by the pillow, and until he had already gone on the expedition, he secretly hurt himself.
Suddenly, Chen Yuanyuan caught a glimpse of a letter and a thread-bound book on the bedside. Chen Yuanyuan ignored the book, but picked up the letter and read it.
Yuan'er and my wife:
I wanted to wait for you to give birth to an heir before going on a campaign, but if there is a big chaos today, the sword of the Qing Dynasty has been on the neck of the Ming Dynasty, and the people are suffering day and night, and the husband really can't do that kind of cold bystander. Therefore, I decided to go to Shanhaiguan to repel the Qing army for the time being, and return me to a bright future, so that our children can grow up in peacetime and not have to suffer from the war. It will take about two months for my husband to go to Shanhaiguan this time, and by the time I return, I am afraid that you have already become a pot-bellied woman, hahaha! I will leave you a book of pure heart exercises at the bedside, and you can practice diligently when you have nothing to do. This exercise is not a wolf way, but only for purifying the mind and calming the nerves. If you practice diligently, you can stay in peace. If there is anything you don't understand during the cultivation period, you can ask Mo Er directly. Please don't let me down on my kindness. - Moli himself.
After reading the letter, Chen Yuanyuan carefully folded the letter and hid it in his arms, for fear of breaking it. After collecting the letter, he picked up the mantra and studied it carefully. Although Chen Yuanyuan does not practice martial arts, he also has some martial arts foundation, and although it is jerky and difficult to read now, he can still read it.
Time back to early morning. Not long after Chen Yuanyuan fell asleep, Mo Li packed up, left a letter and a heart-purifying mantra for Chen Yuanyuan, and then went out to meet Mo Yi and the others.
Everyone walked outside Shengjing City, Da Hei suddenly shook his neck, and then turned into a giant black wolf, carrying Mo Li and a group of five people to leave Shengjing, and rushed towards Shanhaiguan.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and in a blink of an eye, five people and one wolf came to Shanhaiguan. After some inquiry, I learned that Wu Sangui is now the chief soldier of Jibei, and his father Wu Xiang is the governor of Jiliao. Sometimes the father and son were in a bad mood, so they would live in the governor's palace, but not in the Jiliao general soldier's account.
Seeing that he had come to pounce on him this time, Mo Li took out his talisman and took advantage of the situation to incorporate Wu Sangui's troops.
After dealing with the matter of incorporating the army, Mo Li touched the darkness and took Mo Yi and Yuan Chengzhi to Wu Xiang's residence.
