Chapter 151: Expedition
Mu Zhixuan bowed and left, but the next moment he was stopped by Ji Huan, he frowned, as if he had made a very difficult decision, and finally said: "Forget it, don't act rashly first." ”
Now the power of the Mu family is in full swing, and Mu Zongze and Mu Zongsheng occupy an extremely important position in the court, if this matter is exposed, it will inevitably be held accountable to him.
If you miss a big thing because you can't control your feelings for a while, then it's really wrong.
He was also confused for a while, and almost ruined the overall situation because of his own selfishness.
Moreover, there are many ways to punish a person, not to kill him.
Sometimes, it's more painful to be alive than to die.
When he returned to the palace, he saw Mu Zongsheng hurriedly walking in the direction of the imperial study.
Ji Huan squinted his eyes and returned to the dormitory while no one was paying attention.
When Mu Zongsheng walked to the imperial study, Emperor Mingde was reviewing the folds.
"Weichen see the emperor." Mu Zongsheng knelt respectfully, and when Emperor Mingde saw him coming, he said: "Aiqing came just in time, you see that these are the so-called heroes, these are the good deeds done by the great heroes who helped me conquer the world." ”
Mu Zongsheng picked up one of the books and opened it to see that it was full of all kinds of evil deeds about the former heroes of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Emperor Mingde frowned and said, "I must have been so kind to them that I let them do such a hurtful thing. ”
Mu Zongsheng looked at the twists and turns about the collection of people's fat and ointment in the fiefdom, but his brows suddenly relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty." This is a great joy. ”
Emperor Mingde glanced at Mu Zongsheng, who was laughing, and said, "Oh? Is it a great joy for them to do such a bad thing? Mu Shangshu, you don't have a problem today. If you're not feeling well, then step back and let me sit alone for a moment. ”
Mu Zongsheng shook his head and said, "No, Your Majesty, Weichen is very sober at the moment. He walked closer to Emperor Mingde and said, "Your Majesty, you want to." If none of them made mistakes, then the local people supported them and their power grew day by day. It's a big threat to the Great Jin Dynasty. If you make these mistakes now, you can take this opportunity to cut their rights, and if you take the people's fat and ointment, you are afraid that you will also lose the hearts of the people. It will not pose any threat to the country of the Great Jin. ”
Emperor Mingde narrowed his eyes. Suddenly, he suddenly realized, and said, "Aiqing is reasonable, I suddenly feel better in my heart." ”
Mu Zongsheng suddenly lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I'm not afraid that the heroes have made mistakes, but I'm afraid that there will be no faults." This person who has done so will lose the hearts of the people first, even if the emperor does not punish him. He didn't make a big deal either. The emperor can deal with it leniently, and when the time comes, he can also get the title of wise and generous. But if it is a person who has no fault, I am afraid that he is cautious in everything, and such a person has to be guarded against. ”
Emperor Mingde immediately understood Mu Zongsheng's words.
Suddenly, he stood up, looked at Mu Zongsheng, and said, "Mu Aiqing, who do you think are these people who have no fault and are meritorious?" ”
Mu Zongsheng suddenly fell to the ground and said in fear: "Your Majesty, Weichen is panicking, Weichen is just talking nonsense, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." ”
Emperor Mingde laughed and said, "What kind of crime do you have, you are the only one who dares to say such a thing to me." This is enough to prove your faithfulness to me. Come, Aiqing, please get up. ”
Emperor Mingde personally helped Mu Zongsheng up, and then gave him a seat.
Mu Zongsheng looked worried and said: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that the Xiyue border has been rampant again recently, but I am afraid that if we do not send troops to defend it, if we really attack, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the distant water to save the near fire at that time." ”
Emperor Mingde lowered his eyes and said, "Then who does Aiqing think should be sent?" ”
Mu Zongsheng said: "Your Majesty, now the third brother of Weichen has a heavy army, and he defeated Xiyue Kingdom five years ago, and Weichen thinks it is more suitable to send him." And again......"
Mu Zongsheng suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, if you let a general with heavy troops stay in Kyoto for a long time, then the emperor's country will suffer from the enemy." ”
What Mu Zongsheng said was also what Emperor Mingde was worried about.
Now that Old Man Mu has resigned, coupled with his advanced age, he is bound to have no ability, but Mu Zongze is different.
He has a heavy army, and he has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, if he stays in Kyoto for a long time......
The next day, there was a sudden urgent call in the palace, and Mu Zongze entered the palace.
And Mu Zongze hung his head when he came back after entering the palace, and his face was gloomy and terrifying.
Later, Xiao Yuning saw it, so he asked: "What happened when you entered the palace this time, why did you look sad when you came back?" ”
Mu Zongze suddenly looked up at her, hugged her in his arms, and said, "Ning'er, I can't bear you and the child." ”
Xiao Yuning heard what he said, his expression became light and solemn, and said: "What happened, now that Dajin is also in the peaceful era, why did he suddenly say such a thing?" ”
Mu Zongze said with difficulty: "Now the Xiyue border is rampant, and the emperor sent me to Xiyue to guard the border. I don't know when I'll be back, and I don't know when I'll see you and your children. ”
Xiao Yuning also looked calm, and said: "There is no way to do it now, is it possible that you can still resign from the official position, and you can't resist the decree?" If this matter is done by me, I will definitely be able to do it, but only you, Mu Zongze, can't do it. ”
Mu Zongze nodded and said, "The emperor's order is difficult, and now I can only think about how long I can hide it." ”
Xiao Yuning knew that he would answer like this, but he didn't have much complaint, after all, in his heart, the emperor's order was more important than anything else.
"Even if one day my child and I are gone, you can guard your borders." Xiao Yuning broke free from Mu Zongze's arms.
Mu Zongze looked at her distant figure, his face full of helplessness.
It's just that this matter can't be contained in paper after all, and the news spread throughout the Mu Mansion in less than two days.
The moment these words reached Mu Zhiling's ears, she was embroidering, and the sharp needle tip stabbed into the flesh of her fingers, bright red blood overflowed, and she quickly reached into her mouth and chewed gently.
She looked at Yuemei nervously and said, "When will Daddy get up?" ”
Yuemei shook her head and said, "The slave doesn't know either. It's just that it seems, I'm afraid it's just these days. ”
"Hurry up and find out the situation before you tell me, I want to know the exact date." Mu Zhiling put down the embroidered cloth in her hand. Said with a frown.
The day has finally come.
The previous life was two years earlier than this time.
It was because my father and my mother were at odds with each other, because he took the initiative to ask for orders to guard the frontier.
And in this life, there must be someone instigating.
Daddy went this time, and his daily whereabouts must have been tracked, so the princes of Liao in the previous life would mention his father's daily affairs, which made Emperor Mingde even more convinced that his father was treason and collaborator.
Suddenly, a carrier pigeon flew to the windowsill, and Mu Zhiling took out the letter paper from the pigeon's feet to take a look. There was a mixed blessing on the face.
This letter belongs to Mu Zhilan.
The letter mentioned that she is now the princess of Liao, and that Zhen Mu is really the future prince of Liao. Mu Zhilan also believed what Mu Zhiling said, because Zhen Mu had already told her the truth of the truth.
It turned out that the reason why Mu Zongsheng kept Mu Zhilan by his side was that he wanted to carry the banner of reviving the Great Zhou in the future. If Mu Zhilan is the daughter of Princess Zhenyu, then the Liao State can naturally send troops.
At that time, some of the old forces of the previous dynasty are afraid that they will also recover, and the emperor of the Later Zhou is not dead, and the Liao State can threaten him to make him a puppet emperor. And this entire Dajin bento is really in the hands of the Liao people.
What a great move.
It is also difficult for Mu Zongze to exchange his daughter for the daughter of Princess Zhenyu.
But why did Mu Zongsheng do this? He is clearly a citizen of the Great Jin Dynasty, but he has been working hard for so many years......
Unless he's not! From the beginning, this Mu Zongsheng was fake, or this Mu Zongsheng who came back from Zhenzhou was not the real Mu Zongsheng......
But something is wrong, things are by no means so simple, but at least now she can come to a conclusion, there is Mu Zongsheng and the people of Liao, and even the royal family of Liao has an ulterior secret.
At this moment, even if she thought of this, it was useless, she had to tell her mother and father.
Daddy's departure is inevitable. But he had to be careful. Just because in his previous life, Mu Zongsheng found out the so-called letter with the prince of Liao from his father's room when he went to guard the border pass.
Then the Liao State invaded the Central Plains on a large scale. Daddy rushed from Xiyue to the east of the Great Jin Dynasty, across the entire territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the boat and car were tiring, but he met the elite soldiers of the Great Liao, and finally ended up defeated.
Although Dad escaped back by luck, most of the elite soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty were gone.
Mu Zongsheng took advantage of Emperor Mingde's disappointment in his father to search for those letters, and his father also went to prison.
She only realized that the layout of this qiē was so precise.
A long-planned calculation, no matter who it is, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape.
Mu Zhiling's hatred for Mu Zongsheng at this moment has increased a little, that man is really terrifying.
In the evening, Mu Zhiling went to Jingxuan Pavilion.
Seeing Xiao Yuning and Mu Zongze each with cold faces, stiffening each other and not speaking, Mu Zhiling felt a trace of distress in her heart.
After all, Daddy is the sworn brother of Emperor Mingde, and some things are involuntarily, and this qiē is not his fault, but someone calculated.
Mu Zhiling walked into the room, suddenly pulled Mu Zongze's sleeve, pretended not to know that he was going to guard the frontier, blinked his eyes, and said: "Daddy, a few days ago, Ling'er went to Jingguang Temple to ask for a sign for her father, and the monk said that her father would be far away in the near future, and said that her father would definitely be targeted by traitors, and Ling'er was very scared at that time. Daddy, Ling'er heard that the monk was very good, and Ling'er got angry when he went to get a sign, and he suddenly smiled and said that if you want to resolve this evil omen, it is not impossible. Say what everything starts with, and say what Daddy, you can't stay for a long time when you go this time. If you don't return within a year, it must be a bad omen. Mu Zhiling looked at Mu Zongze with blank eyes, almost crying, and said, "Daddy, do you really want to travel far, that monk won't be a liar, how can you travel far?" ”
Mu Zongze gently stroked Mu Zhiling's head and said, "Silly girl, Daddy is not going anywhere, Daddy is here to accompany you and your mother." ”
Having said that, Mu Zhiling's words kept echoing in his mind.
Is it really a bad omen to go this time, although the art of divination cannot be fully believed, but it is also better to believe in it than to believe in it.
Mu Zhiling saw that she had achieved the purpose of coming this time, so she also left.
Seeing that the atmosphere between her father and mother was wrong, she didn't want to stay longer.
Daddy thought she didn't know at the moment, but he was afraid that she would be uncomfortable if she knew.
After returning to the courtyard, he summoned Thirteen Fifteen back. This time, I am afraid that Mu Zongsheng will have a lot of things, if this is the case, when he comes back from the thirteenth and fifteenth, he may be able to be on the list.
And Thirteen and Fifteen were kneeling on one knee in front of Rong Zhi at the moment.
They looked up at Rong Zhi, their hands trembling slightly, and they shouted in unison, "Lord." ”
Rong Zhi squinted his eyes and said, "Count your fate, you met such a little girl, and saved your life, but the person who died for you is not so good, what is it like to think about it now?" ”
The two of them frowned at the same time, and said, "My subordinates must cherish this hard-won life even more, and smear the liver and brain for the Lord." ”
Rong Zhi smiled and said, "I just need you to remember one thing, I Rong Zhi is your master." As you listen to that girl, don't forget the task I have given you. ”
After the thirteenth and fifteenth salutes, he left.
And then Rong Zhi suddenly chuckled, and muttered to himself: "Mu Zongze, Mu Zongze, I want to see how capable you are to fight with me, hahahaha......"
When it was almost the day of Mu Zongze's trip, Mu Zhiling suddenly heard that among the people who went this time, there was Li Shizi......
For a moment, I only felt that the world was spinning, and my heart was even more mixed.
Brother Li, what does this mean exactly?
In his previous life, he didn't go at all, although she didn't care much about Brother Li at that time and didn't know much about it, but on the day her father left, she also went to see him off.
In the mighty crowd, the only people riding horses were my father and my brother.
Mu Zhiling's heart was suddenly a little dull, there were too many things in this life that were different from the previous life, and there were too many things that were beyond her expectations and beyond her control.
Why did Brother Li go......
Daddy is forced to do so, and Brother Li, he has so many injuries on his body, isn't it possible that he still has too much?
Suddenly she felt so uncomfortable, she really wanted to ask him what was going on.
But when I think about it, I feel that I am not qualified.
Who is she his?
Younger sister? Brother Li's sister is the lord of Ruoxi.
And he also has his own wife, the one who is supposed to care about him......
When this matter reached the ears of Mu Zongsheng and Mu Zhishu, it was also shocking.
Mu Zhishu even asked Mu Zongsheng to marry her to Zheng Li immediately.
She knelt down in front of Mu Zongsheng and said, "I beg my father to be fulfilled, Brother Li is going this time, I don't know when I will be able to come back, can my father tell Brother Li that the marriage date will be earlier." ”
Mu Zongsheng was a little unhappy, and said, "No, I'll wait for Zheng Li's kid to come back." ”
If something happened to Zheng Li, would it be possible to make her daughter widowed?
His Mu Zongsheng's daughter said that it was such a waste and useless, so it was better not to. (To be continued......)
