Hearing the news, Emperor Zhaowu's face immediately darkened.

This time, I went to the Western Regions to ask for the Tianshan Snow Lotus, in the name of the Queen Mother, but the Western Regions directly replied that there was no, let alone the royal family, even the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu felt that they couldn't hold their faces, the Tianshan Snow Lotus is a national treasure-level medicinal material in the Western Regions, and it is true that the number is scarce, but it is not nothing, it is obvious that the Western Regions deliberately used this to provoke the Great Liang.

The ministers were talking.

Some people directly sent troops to crusade against the Western Regions and give them some color, while others said that it was just a snow lotus, maybe it really didn't exist, and there was really no need to hurt the harmony between the two countries.

He said that although it was not the Queen Mother who was ill this time, but he went in the name of the Queen Mother, the Western Regions knew that Daliang urgently needed this Tianshan Snow Lotus, but he insisted that he didn't put Daliang in his eyes at all.

Therefore, not only must we go to war, but it is best to drive the expedition in person, so as to destroy the Western Regions and raise the prestige of our Great Liang country.

At this time, the crown prince Fu Xuan stepped forward and said passionately that his father's kingdom was busy with affairs, and it was approaching the end of the year, so it was not suitable for the emperor to go to the Western Regions on behalf of his father.

Emperor Zhaowu bowed slightly, but did not express his position.

The Fourth Prince, Emperor Fu Zhuo, quietly looked at Emperor Zhaowu's face, and continued to stand there expressionless and silent.

General Su strongly objected, saying that this move must not be done, not to mention whether there is a Tianshan Snow Lotus in the Western Regions, even if they really don't give it and deliberately provoke, they can't send troops at this time, because at this time, the Western Regions are already frozen for thousands of miles, and it is difficult to move, so it is really not a good time to start a war.

even reprimanded Cheyenne for being sloppy with the enemy, which was a misguided move for the country and the king.

Mu Changyuan and Mu Yunting also spoke one after another, saying that they would not dare to lead the two countries to meet each other because of their own affairs, and they must not send troops lightly.

The two factions are above the court, you come and go, quarrel endlessly, and the ministers under their respective commands have also been involved in this war of words, and for a while, the court quarreled into a pot of porridge.

was so angry that Emperor Zhaowu slapped the table, reprimanded both sides fiercely, and immediately announced his retreat from the dynasty.

After leaving the palace gate, Mu Guogong Xia Yan couldn't help but sneer at Mu Changyuan: "It's not that the in-laws are eager to cling to General Su, and they are only above the court today, and they are strongly opposed to me, but I still think about your wife, although the Su family is your father-in-law's family and your in-laws, but don't forget, I am still your in-laws!" ”

"Grandpa Guo misunderstood, although this matter involves our family's private affairs, whether or not to send troops is a national matter, so you and I only have different political opinions, not personal feelings." Mu Changyuan was also displeased.

In fact, he is not against sending troops, he just doesn't want to lead the troops because of his own affairs.

Besides, even if you win, you won't be able to get the Tianshan Snow Lotus for a while, and it won't help.

If he is defeated, then he will not become a sinner for the ages.

He's not stupid.

Naturally, he knew that the Guogong Mansion's move was just to put some gold on the prince.

Cheyenne was speechless for a while, and walked away with a cold face.

After listening to the reactions of the courtiers, Situ Kong analyzed that although this time he went to the Western Regions in the name of the Queen Mother to seek Snow Lotus, it was not what the Queen Mother needed, although the emperor was angry, but it was impossible to send troops because of this, although the move of the prince and the prince did not get the attention of the emperor, but it was enough to deter the ministers.

As the emperor, he naturally hopes to see the ministers have different opinions, if it is a voice of Nuo in the court, it is not beautiful, so no matter who is in charge of the war and who is in charge of peace today, as long as they express their opinions, in the eyes of the emperor, they are all patriotic and loyal courtiers.

Xia Yan nodded yes again and again, and had more admiration for Situ Kong.

The Queen Mother naturally heard about the affairs of the court, and hurriedly called Emperor Zhaowu to Ci'an Palace, saying that she must not send troops lightly because of this matter, and at present, she can only think of other ways.

Emperor Zhaowu chuckled, saying that he had no intention of sending troops in the first place, and this move was just to test the reaction of his ministers.

The Queen Mother was relieved, thought for a moment, and asked infinitely sadly, if she was lying unconscious on the sickbed today, and she was the one who urgently needed the Tianshan Snow Lotus, what would the emperor do?

Emperor Zhaowu was stunned for a moment, and then comforted him, saying that the Queen Mother did not have to be sad, if there was really such a day, he would raze the Western Regions and find out the Tianshan Snow Lotus.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she sighed again, saying that it seems that Mrs. Houfu is more auspicious this time, and I am afraid that the time limit has come, and now we can only see if this happy event in Mufu can save her life.

Thinking of this, he immediately sent someone to give a congratulatory gift to the Hou Mansion, and instructed them to do a good job of Wulang's happy event and give the Huangfu clan a good joy.

Emperor Zhaowu saw that she was sad, and he couldn't bear to hide it, so he hurriedly told the truth, saying that Mu Yunting had already sent someone to the black market in the Western Regions to find the Tianshan Snow Lotus, and maybe there would be a glimmer of hope.

The Queen Mother turned her worries into joy.

Mu Yunqi was very depressed.

He finally put his mind away, he wanted to study hard, and he would find an official and a half-job in the future, which could be regarded as a serious thing, but his father and mother suddenly told him that he was going to get married, which made him really unacceptable.

He originally thought that his family affairs were different from others, at least different from Mu Yunche and Mu Yunting, the two of them were ordered to get married, and they didn't have any of their own intentions in it, so he had to choose his own daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law! You have to pick one that you like, otherwise, how should you live?

But he was wrong.

His parents asked him to marry Su Ruyi, the daughter of his maternal uncle's family.

All right!

He didn't know anything except that his cousin was a woman, so he didn't want to!

Simply, thirty-six strategies, go for the best policy.

Only this time, he was wrong again.

The Su clan had already sent someone to surround the Tingyu Hall, and even a mosquito could not fly out, and the guard led by him explained that the fifth young master did not need to worry, and when the bride passed the door, the fifth young master could go out.

Angry, Mu Yunqi jumped up and down in the house, but to no avail, he shouted to see the Su family, why locked him up??

My son is getting married!

And he married his niece.

Although Su Shi is busy, he is in a very good mood, and he is happy to arrange wedding banquets and entertain guests who come to congratulate him every day.

The Hou Mansion, which had been silent for a few days, immediately became lively with lights.

There were smiling faces of joy everywhere.

The old rule is that whenever there is a big wedding in the house, people will be rewarded in a big way.

The last time the prince got married, each of them got a reward of ten taels of silver!

I just don't know, how much this time!

At the beginning of the day, the sky was falling a little snow, and as soon as the morning passed, it gradually cleared.

It's just that the wind blows and the windows are whirring.

It's cold outside, and it's cold in Shumei Garden.

There was no fire in the charcoal stove for a long time, and no one added charcoal.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Aunt Mei walked silently to the charcoal stove with charcoal and lit a fire, and the room gradually became warmer.

"Auntie." Mu Yao lifted the bed curtain and called weakly.

In the past few days, the maids in the house have all been transferred to Tingyutang to help, everyone is busy, who can take care of her, a bedridden person.

"Erniang." Aunt Mei hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, saw her rapidly emaciated face, and sobbed, "Erniang, aunt beg, don't torture yourself anymore, if you continue like this, you will ruin yourself, aunt has lost Sanniang, if Erniang has three more long and two short, my aunt will not be able to live." ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but hide his face and cry bitterly.

In the past few days, her tears have dried up.

If it weren't for Mu Yao's illness in bed, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold it for a long time.

"Auntie, don't be sad, I've been thinking about it for the past few days, I won't be sad for some people who are not worth being sad anymore, it's not worth it." Mu Yao smiled reluctantly, sat up and said, "I'm hungry, aunt help me cook some porridge!" ”

Aunt Mei answered, hurriedly wiped away her tears, got up and went to the kitchen to make porridge.

After two bowls of rice porridge, Mu Yao also had the strength in her body, and immediately got out of bed with the help of Aunt Mei, and walked back and forth in the house, before she gradually gained some energy.

At this time, the housekeeper's lady Xu Mama walked in, and when she saw that Mu Yao had been able to get up, she was very happy, and she was busy waiting for Aunt Mei to bathe and change her clothes, combing her hair, while chattering about the recent events in the house, and ignoring Aunt Mei's presence, she said that the Hou Ye had just brought in a room, and these days, he didn't even go to Lixiangyuan.

Aunt Mei was suddenly silent.

There is also the fifth young master who is about to get married, and there is a lot of excitement in the house.

It's just that the Mrs. Tai of Muyingtang, the situation is getting worse and worse, the expected Tianshan Snow Lotus has not been obtained, and even the Imperial Doctor is worried, saying that if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will only last for three or five days.

Aunt Mei and Mu Yao's hearts sank and sank.

After Mama Xu finished speaking, she patted her thigh again and said, just now she forgot to tell the maid of Tingyutang to be sure to pull up the red silk used on the day of marriage tonight, otherwise, it will be too late.

After Mama Xu left, Mu Yao sighed: "Auntie, let's go see Grandma!" ”

As she spoke, there were tears in her eyes again, if her grandmother, who had always loved her, was gone, then she would be in this mansion, it would be more and more difficult!

On the side of Muyingtang, Shen Qingli lay on the kang in the Xinuan Pavilion and fell asleep, woke up, saw that the sky had darkened, and heard Aunt Tian's voice faintly coming from the coat room, so he got up and got off the kang, tidied up his makeup a little, and walked out a little sleepy.

Several candles were already lit in the coat room.

The fire in the charcoal stove was blazing.

"Second young lady, you can wake up." As soon as Aunt Tian saw her, she hurriedly walked over mysteriously, pulled her to the screen, and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so she quietly spread out her palms and said, "I know that the new little slut is not a good bird, you see, what did I find in her?" ”R1152
