Chapter 260: Lingering Bones
Qi Xiuling also knelt down and said: "Your Majesty is angry, Lord Wang is reasonable, this kind of woman, Your Majesty not only can't marry her, but should also prevent it, she is a woman in the rivers and lakes, and it is okay to travel the world, why would she work hard to plan for Your Majesty, she must have a plan, and I implore Your Majesty to investigate!" After all, Qi Xiuling had the arrogance of the imperial history, and he looked at Xiao Moheng fixedly, with a firm and fearless expression.
With the opposition of these two humerus ministers, Xiao Moheng was already so angry that his nose was about to smoke, and it didn't matter if they didn't agree with Jiang Mei entering the palace, she was so unbearable by her, and the woman who dared to insult him didn't want to die?
"You....you actually slander my heroes like this, do you want to have a head?" Xiao Moheng roared angrily, when he was a prince, it was okay to let them point fingers, now that he is the emperor, does it depend on their faces to marry a woman?
Clinker, to Xiao Moheng's surprise, under his anger, the ministers were not afraid. Of course, not all of the ministers are really righteous, because all of them know that once someone or something endangers the society of Dahuan, then they must unite to prevent such a thing from happening.
Although Mu Xiaohe and Dongfang Zhan knew Jiang Mei's character, as long as they could save her, they would not hesitate to let her carry some stigma.
Then, Xie Hui, who had a calm face, stood up and asked, "Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty has imprisoned Miss Jiang in the harem?" If this is the case, the ministers hope that Your Majesty will let Miss Jiang out of the palace, even if the ministers don't want this head, they can't let Your Majesty make Jiang Mei the queen! "Say it. He knelt down. A righteous and awe-inspiring look.
"You!" Xiao Moheng frowned angrily and pointed at him fiercely, but he couldn't say a word of argument.
"The ministers implore Your Majesty to let Miss Jiang out of the palace!" At this time, a large group of ministers knelt down. The head can be broken, the ministers must not be lost, and the things that endanger the society cannot be allowed to happen.
Only Yan Sui, Tao Yiran and Shang Zhi stood proudly, Dongfang Zhan and Mu Xiaohe did not speak indifferently, and Pei Zhan and Wen Du did not kneel or stand.
This time. Pei Zhan, who had just taken office, did not want to be angry. And Wen Du was originally Xiao Moheng's henchman, where could he intervene if the master wanted to do it. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall froze, and only a few gasps were heard.
Xiao Moheng took a look at this. Look at that. I was so angry that I smoked. At last he shook his sleeves and strode away indignantly.
The ministers stretched out their heads to look at Xiao Moheng's angry back before slowly getting up. At this time, Wang Xuzhi said angrily to Dongfang Zhan: "Mr. Dongfang, you are Your Majesty's confidant minister, how could you let Your Majesty do such a thing, just now we all knelt down to make a statement, why didn't Mr. say a word?" ”
Dongfang Zhan smiled bitterly, shook his hand, and said angrily: "What Lord Wang taught is that what the Lord said today, Zhan doesn't know how many times he has told His Majesty, His Majesty doesn't want to see Zhan for this matter, Zhan has to pin his hopes on your lords!" ”
After that, he saluted everyone again. And Mu Xiaohe, who didn't say a word from beginning to end, also bowed to everyone and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Jiang and Xiao and childhood sweethearts, the two of us are also in love, but Xiao He's identity is embarrassing, and I can't make a sound, and I hope that the adults must dissuade Your Majesty from making Mei'er the queen!" ”
Only then did the ministers come to their senses, it turned out that Dongfang Zhan and Mu Xiaohe were both suffering and couldn't speak, thinking that as long as the ministers worked together, they would be able to stop Xiao Moheng's behavior.
At this time, he patted Xie Hui, who was dusting his sleeves, and said coldly: "Ladies and gentlemen, even if Your Majesty does not establish a queen, you can't make Jiang Mei a queen, no matter what, Xie hopes that your lords can work together to stop Your Majesty!" Moreover, once something happens, Xie will bear it! He finally glanced at Yan Sui coldly, and the rebuke was very meaningful.
Xie Hui knew that Concubine Xie's time was running out, as long as they didn't set up a queen, then they still had the advantage of being the eldest son of the emperor, so if they didn't make Concubine Xie the queen, then they would prevent the emperor from establishing a queen.
Dongfang Zhan's eyebrows moved, and he continued: "Xie Xiang is reasonable, Zhan will also ensure that all adults are safe!" ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, one of them was the leader of the courtiers, and the other was Xiao Moheng's confidant. With their assurances, the matter will be hassle-free.
If Xiao Moheng knew that his ministers were working together to calculate himself, he would definitely be so angry that he vomited blood, but fortunately, after he threw his sleeves out, his heart was much calmer. He thought that since they were unwilling, he would drag it until Jiang Mei was pregnant with his own child, then they would definitely have no choice.
Thinking about it, he suddenly felt a lot happier, so he decided to work hard. Therefore, after going down to the court, he went to Emperor Xiao's Lingtang to complete some rituals, and then took Qiulin quietly to Jiang Mei's residence. When his concubines thought that their majesty was mourning in the mourning hall, Xiao Moheng was living a comfortable life.
When Xiao Moheng stepped into the courtyard gently, he didn't hear any movement in the house, he walked in lightly, but found Jiang Mei lying on the desk sewing a purse, he glanced at Mochizuki, who was blessed, and Mochizuki quietly retreated.
At this time, Jiang Mei was leaning on the desk in a white shirt, and her black hair was hanging down on the white shirt, like a fairy in the world, elegant and outstanding.
is so incredibly beautiful, she will only strengthen Xiao Moheng's determination to marry her. He walked over softly and picked her up suddenly.
"Hey...."
Jiang Mei Huoran was startled, she didn't notice that there was someone behind her back, and when she saw the person coming clearly, she slowly lowered her head with an angry face. The endless lingering throughout the night had made her gradually surrender to his embrace.
Xiao Moheng looked at the purse she was holding in her hand and smiled softly, "What are you doing here?" ”
Jiang Mei blushed and replied, "Anyway, I was bored, so I learned to embroider a purse from Mochizuki." ”
Although it was a man, Xiao Moheng saw the thick stitches at a glance, and couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that you are really not suitable for the work of this boudoir." ”
Jiang Mei glanced at him angrily, "It's not who is born with it, if I study hard, I can embroider a good purse!" Jiang Mei took the purse and looked around, in fact, compared to the beginning, today's purse has been much better.
Xiao Moheng snatched the purse from her hand. Then stuffed it into his arms, and said seriously: "This purse will be given to me!" ”
"You!" Jiang Mei was annoyed for a moment when she saw him snatch her things, but it was obvious that she couldn't help him.
Xiao Moheng carefully hugged the person in his arms and walked towards the bed of the warm pavilion step by step.
Jiang Mei's intuition told her that Xiao Moheng was a little different today, she looked up at him, but found that there was a trace of elusive confusion in his eyes, as if she was uneasy and reluctant. There seemed to be some angry fear in the middle. Xiao Moheng like this was something he had never seen before.
Jiang Mei's heart softened. Is it because of yourself? The smart Jiang Mei wouldn't have guessed that she had been missing for half a month, and it was impossible for Jiang Fu and Dongfang Zhan to take no action, Xiao Moheng must have encountered obstacles!
Xiao Moheng put her on the couch. But it was to attach to her lips without delay. Won't let go for a moment.
Xiao Moheng didn't say anything. She didn't ask anything, she was just clumsy and let him bully,
After Xiao Moheng got Jiang Mei's body information. Zhao Ran stopped his movements and looked at her steadily, he saw the comfort in her eyes. The next moment, he frantically tore her clothes and staggered her.......
The next day, Xiao Moheng, who learned that hundreds of officials were kneeling in the Taiji Hall, sent a message to him, saying that if the hundred officials were not up for a day, he would not go to court for a day.
The ministers who got the news were so angry that the emperor actually quit the dynasty for a woman, which strengthened their determination to oppose Xiao Moheng's marriage to Jiang Mei.
Later, the hundred officials also asked Qiulin to pass on the message, saying that if His Majesty did not come to the court for a day, they would not be able to kneel for a long time.
So Xiao Moheng, who had just ascended the throne, had a stalemate with his ministers.
For two days in a row, the officials knelt in the Taiji Hall for two mornings, and Xiao Moheng had no intention of going to court. On the third day, when the ministers decided not to kneel for the day, an eight-hundred-mile rush broke the deadlock.
Xiao Moheng, who was trusted, didn't care about eating and hurried to the court, and the ministers who got the news had to put aside the internal affairs and rushed to the court in a hurry to wait for Xiao Moheng.
"Rank Aiqing, tell me what you think!" Xiao Moheng threw the general's report aside, it seems that Dongfang Zhan still underestimated Tang Naiyao for a month. Just three days later, Tang Naiyao led his troops to attack Yidu County.
"Your Majesty, the minister has sent a message to Huxiang and South Vietnam to raise military rations and go north, and General Qiu Shaoping in Yidu also has to resist for a while, but we still have to send a large army to Jingzhou to fight!" Dongfang Zhan took the lead.
Xiao Moheng lowered his head and pondered, sending troops is not a problem, but there are two problems at the moment, one is military salary, and the other is the choice of coach. Xiao Moheng knew this, and Dongfang Zhan also knew it.
"Rank Aiqing, recommend a coach for me!" Xiao Moheng pondered for a while and said.
At this time, Pei Zhan came out and said: "Your Majesty, Mu Shizi once accompanied His Majesty on the northern expedition, and his wisdom and bravery are enough to deter the three armies, and the minister thinks that Mu Shizi can be the commander of the three armies!" ”
As soon as his voice fell, all the ministers nodded, because Mu Xiaohe was indeed the most suitable candidate.
Mu Xiaohe smiled bitterly, because he knew that Xiao Moheng would not let him go, firstly, because of Jiang Mei, and secondly, he was somewhat afraid of Ningzhou Mufu, once he captured Sichuan Shu, then Sichuan Shu and Ningzhou would be connected, which had to be said to be a threat to Xiao Moheng.
None of the ministers are stupid, and with this moment of thought, many have become aware of the problem.
Guangluxun Lu Zheng came out and said: "Your Majesty, General Deng Rui, the assassin of Yuzhou, is closer to Jingzhou, so it is better to let General Deng lead his troops to Jingzhou to resist Tang Naiyao." "Lu Zheng was originally a guard lieutenant, Xiao Moheng ascended the throne and became an official Guangluxun, and the guard was led by Wen Du. It's just that the position of Wei Wei is real power, and Guangluxun is a superior position. Although Lu Zheng didn't explicitly say that he wouldn't let Mu Xiaohe go, the meaning was clear.
Tao Yiran then also followed and said: "Your Majesty, let General Mu Bai of Chang'an lead his troops south to Sichuan and Shu, and attack Sichuan and Shu with the Jingzhou soldiers, so Tang Naiyao will definitely be defeated!" ”
At this time, many ministers' eyes lit up, and they nodded yes, Sichuan and Shu were already surrounded by our army, and with the geographical advantage of Hanzhong, they attacked on both sides, and they were sure to win.
"Exactly! There are tens of thousands of soldiers in Guanzhong and Hanzhong, and they have geographical advantages, so they can be the main force in Shu! Wen Du agreed.
After discussing it, the urgent worries just now dissipated a lot. But Xiao Moheng was still indifferent, he was still waiting for someone's opinion, and that person was Dongfang Zhan.
Dongfang Zhan raised his eyebrows and received Xiao Moheng's inquiring gaze, he smiled lightly, gave a salute, and said proudly: "Your Majesty, General Deng Rui is good at water warfare, and the mountains and rivers of Sichuan and Shu are blocked, General Deng may not be able to show his majesty, and furthermore, Your Majesty must not let General Mu Bai leave Guanzhong, because there are still soft iron horsemen in the north!" ”
His words made everyone frown again, "Then according to Mr. Ir's opinion, how is it good?" Shang Zhi said anxiously.
Dongfang Zhan glanced at the ministers slightly, then moved his gaze to Xiao Moheng with a complicated expression, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers ask for war, the ministers are willing to lead the Beifu soldiers to Yidu to fight the enemy, and then let General Feilian of Hanzhong send troops to fight together, please Your Majesty agree, and the ministers will break Shu and return!" ”
The ministers were stunned for a moment, and they all looked at him in a daze, no one expected that Dongfang Zhan would actually go to Sichuan and Shu in person, but... He never seemed to have led an army into battle, and I don't know why he was so confident.
Xiao Moheng frowned, as if he was not allowed, "Sir, I know General Deng Rui, let him and Fei Lian go to Sichuan and Shu, it should be no big deal!" I still need a gentleman to assist in the government! "It's not that he doesn't believe in Dongfang Zhan's strength, he really doesn't want Dongfang Zhan to leave the capital. For some reason, he seemed to see a hint of determination in Dongfang Zhan's eyes. This made him a little uneasy.
Unexpectedly, Dongfang Zhan's expression was terrible, and he knelt down suddenly, "Your Majesty..."
Xiao Moheng was startled, quickly got up and walked down, walked in front of him, and said hurriedly: "Sir, why is this?" Sir, please get up! ”
At this time, the ministers also looked at Dongfang Zhan in confusion, completely unsure of what to say.
Dongfang Zhan shook his head with tears streaming down his face, but he knelt on the ground silently, motionless.
Xiao Moheng instantly understood what was going on, and said to the other ministers: "Everyone Aiqing should step back first!" ”
The ministers received the order, and bowed back one by one with uncertain expressions.
After everyone left, Xiao Moheng helped Dongfang Zhan up, "What is the reason for Mr?" The tone was worried.
Dongfang Zhan bowed again, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister was originally a citizen of Tang Shu, the ancestors were officials for generations, but my grandfather was slandered and beheaded, only Zhan escaped, Zhan was conceited and talented, but he threw himself around, and there was nothing great to do, but ten years ago, fortunately His Majesty appreciated it, and then put it under His Majesty's command, just like Miss Jiang's Northern Expedition, Zhan also thought hard about the strategy of Pingshu, and now he has a good opportunity, and I hope that His Majesty will sympathize with Zhan's hard work for many years and complete Zhan!" ”
Xiao Moheng looked at Dongfang Zhan who bowed down in a daze, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, since he left the palace at the age of fourteen, Dongfang Zhan has stayed by his side like a teacher and a friend, these nine years of teaching day and night, planning night and night, now I want to come to a world away, for Xiao Moheng, Dongfang Zhan seems to be the first person around him, over the years, he, Dongfang Zhan and Su Junyi have gone out and slept together, how can the friendship be known to outsiders? Now Su Junyi is disheartened by the disaster of the Su family, and has been staying in Qian Tang's Fenghe Building, and there is no correspondence with him. And now, Dongfang Zhan is also going to leave him, he suddenly feels a kind of loneliness, it turns out that he is so reluctant, reluctant to leave a true friend from him......
But after so many years, he has only made such a request, how can he not agree to him? (To be continued.) )
