Chapter 288
"The news of the master has been spread as required, and the Xu family will cooperate." Hongrui entered the house to explain the situation.
"Master, when are we leaving?" Hongrui wanted to go back, and when she stayed here, she was angry when she saw the Yan brothers.
"Seven days later." Xichao passed the follow-up matters in his mind, and set a day to return to the city.
"The matter of the Ji Fang family is put aside?" Hongrui is inevitably worried about the hidden family's behind-the-back tricks.
"Hold on." Xichao is too lazy to care, and he will do what he loves.
With the Xu family's caravan coming and going back to the border pass, bringing back a lot of profits, there is also a situation at the border pass, which is not enough for the entire Mu country to be shocked.
"Really?" After the news came out, the people knew about it, but no one dared to believe it.
"Can this be fake!" Someone interjected, "If you win or lose the war, it is a big crime to kill your head, and you don't want to live!" ”
"Really won?" It's like a dream, it's been less than a year, how can it be so fast.
"Really, I didn't see the streets talking about this, I can't be wrong." The heart of profit and victory can be put down, and the rare peace in the heart reveals a little joy.
"The Wing King has made a great contribution this time." Some people remember that the commander who sent troops to meet the enemy was the Wing King, who was not very favored at the beginning, and he was only fifteen years old, but he was sixteen years old.
"Speaking of which, the Wing King is more capable than the original coach, and I still think that this battle will be less than two or three years and there is no hope, this is just over the New Year, looking at the spring planting, a good sign!" Most people like to make fun of happy events.
"When I win, I have motivation, and now I have endless energy. Spring ploughing must be done well, and strive to catch up with the bumper harvest year. The mood was particularly comfortable, and the atmosphere that had been suppressed for a long time was dissipated. It's as clear as seeing the moon through the clouds.
"Ah, we want to take advantage of the east wind of the victory of the Winged King, work hard, and look forward to a good year in the coming year by taking advantage of the good luck of the Winged King." There are people who can talk and express the feelings in their chests.
"Yes, yes, borrow the good luck of the Wing King." The people laughed loudly, and the depression in their hearts was swept away.
"The Wing King really deserves to be the prince appointed by the previous emperor. The commander appointed by the emperor. "In the eyes of the people, it was the Winged King who repelled the enemy army and resolved the danger of the Mu country, and there was no Winged King who took the initiative to ask Ying, and I don't know what year and month this battle will be fought.
Since Shangjing, the people have all praised the prestige of the Wing King, and it has spread from the surrounding towns with the momentum of sparks. The people remember the good of the Wing King, and there is no more peace to live, and it is more desirable to pray for it, and when the war is mentioned for many years, the color changes when it comes out, as if the sky is falling. The family, which was not rich, suffered hardships for his wife, who was unable to eat freely, and finally could not return to the peace of the past.
It is different from the simple joy of the people who weep with joy. The civil and military officials above the court have a different appearance.
The winged king took the initiative to invite Ying to go to the border to defend against the enemy, in the eyes of the hundred officials, it was just a little girl who didn't know the suffering of the world out of curiosity to go to play, and the events caused multiple concerns, and the winged king made the hundred officials know that nothing is impossible in this world with practical actions.
The bloody slaughter that began at the border gate, in order to deter those officials who had the perspective of watching the play, no one could shake the power that the Wing King could exercise, and the death of a living human life was a baptism of blood in the north, until today the war was won. This sudden good news brought not all joy to the courtiers, but more than half of them were frightened that they did not dare to declare.
The Winged King used his strength to sue all the people. It is so easy to defeat the enemy, and it more clearly alludes to the incompetence and inaction of the original border commander, and puts on the most glamorous and reasonable coat for destroying and manmen, no one dares to criticize the unreasonable behavior of the wing king, and the end can only be worse, the emperor is on the side of the wing king, and the wing king can have a few good.
The expression on the courtier's face was indescribably strange, and he was relieved and worried at the same time, what kind of scene would it be when the Winged King made this great achievement and returned triumphantly, this is not the point, the Winged King holds the power of the commander of one side, and the real military power is in hand, as an official of the great prince's faction, all of them listen to it and change their heads like a fight.
Originally, the Wing King, who originally held the Ministry of Works, was really difficult, no matter what methods he thought of, he did not coerce the shortcomings of the Wing King, and now the Wing King has returned victorious, and the little girl who holds the military power will be indispensable, and the Ouyang Mansion will add glory to this rising tide, and the backing that the emperor relies on has been strengthened, and it is not easy to overthrow this.
Some officials regretted why they didn't strongly stop the Wing King from leading the troops in the first place, and what is the solution to the dilemma that has caused the dilemma now?
Some officials sneered and woke up the whimsical people who always regretted it, and the Wing King took the initiative to ask for help was not in the court, how to stop it. The emperor insisted on his own opinion, and there was no one among the courtiers who could be used, which made the emperor firm in his determination to reuse the Wing King, how to stop it. The emperor's stubborn temper has been taught by many people in the past six months or so, who really moved the emperor to change his mind with one mouth? No, it's definitely not good to end up on your own.
The missed opportunity is not so easy to compensate, and the situation is forced to stop it, it is not good to say, if there is no Wing King to make such a fuss about the current situation of Mu Kingdom, what about it, don't always be an afterthought, see the cause and effect problem clearly, without admitting that the Wing King is also a hero, don't forget what kind of demeanor the hundred officials above the court were when Wei Yan and the two countries formed an alliance, be content, why bother to pick a bone in the egg, reverse right and wrong and erase the merits of the Wing King, heh, weigh it yourself.
The official's face was pale and ashamed and he couldn't raise his head, although the words were harsh, it was indeed a good idea, no matter how unhappy he was, a big stone really fell in his heart, and he had to admit that the emperor was far-sighted after he insisted on going his own way.
The neutrals are still the same, hiding their minds and having leisure to see how the officials of the Great Prince's faction toss, reverse the defeat and recover some disadvantages before the Wing King returns to Beijing.
Mu Zhao never thought that the Wing King would have a victorious day, in his eyes, the Wing King was just a stinky girl who had not dried up, how capable he was, and he was afraid that he would be scared out of his body by the bloody killing when he went to the battlefield.
The facts gave Mu Zhao a resounding slap in the face, and it hurt so much that he didn't know what to do, the current situation was not good for him, and God seemed to have played a big joke on himself. I can't get back to my senses.
hurriedly convened the staff to discuss countermeasures first, and it was not a way to wait, and he was too passive for fear of being blackmailed by the emperor. It is impossible to prevent it, and it is better to think of ways to save the day.
The staff wanted to break their heads and racked their brains but still couldn't figure it out, Mu Zhao had a headache and it was not good to anger his subordinates for this, after all, he wanted to show a gentle and elegant image of his subordinates, so as to attract more people to work for him.
The Wing King is a hard guy who wants to hold on to himself and has no way to do it, so he might as well switch to another way, starting from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then there is the problem of wooing. The Wing King is a real powerful figure with heavy troops, and at this time, he must not be angered, so he has to use roundabout tactics. The side concubine in the backyard is also from the Prime Minister's Mansion, although it is rumored that there are two sisters who do not agree, but there is still something to do, how can there be an undying enemy in the world, and the blood flowing in the blood cannot change the facts. If a family wants to prosper, it must know what it means to have both prosperity and loss. The Winged King will turn his face ruthlessly for the sake of revenge, and what good will it do to the Winged King if things get bigger.
Mu Zhao listened to the staff say a bunch of unreliable nonsense, the blue tendons in the corners of his forehead jumped and jumped, and he waved his hand and sent the staff to order someone to call the courtiers, seeing that time was running out, his status as a prince became more and more embarrassing.
The officials of the Great Prince's faction were summoned and rushed to the Great Prince's Mansion overnight to discuss major matters, Mu Zhao finally saw some hope, and the officials knew the current situation better than the staff. Starting from the discussion of the situation in the court, there are many places worth fighting for, even to grab.
Just when the courtiers were in full swing planning to stabilize the situation. Several more news came one after another, one more terrifying than the other, and more shocking than the lightning and thunder.
"Why did Mu Guo form an alliance with Yan Guo?" It can't be a mistake, that's not what the previous news said.
"This is also the news from the Xu family's caravan, it is absolutely true." Someone looked away with a mouth of disbelief and empty eyes.
"The Xu family is an imperial businessman, and only the Xu family can wander around the inner city and the border passes, and the news is absolutely reliable." There is a lot of false news in wartime, and true news also exists, and you can't overturn a boatload of people with a single stick based on personal unbelief.
"Many people felt that they had heard the alliance wrong, and they asked it several times, but the people who asked it were impatient and stopped." One let out a long sigh, his voice revealing distant contemplation.
"Yan Guo is indeed allied with Wei Guo." Some people who heard the news opened their mouths and came, "I don't know what happened in the middle, Yan Guo turned against Mu and made an alliance." ”
"Isn't this a two-faced!" The sudden exclamation was heard, and the people who were watching and listening were quite approving.
"This can still be believed, don't be a trap set by Yan Wei and the two countries, bite Mu Guo back." The hearts of the people hanging in the air have not settled, and there are not a few frowns.
"You don't understand this, I heard that the Wing King talked to the head coach of Yan Kingdom, and only the parties know how to reach an agreement." Those who have found half of the truth talk about it.
"The condition is not the city of Mu Country!" A group of elderly people sat together and listened, "This kind of incident has become an unwritten rule throughout the ages, you think, how can there be a cheap thing in the world, why is it good to oppose the water, it is nothing more than the conditions offered are higher than the defense of the country." ”
"That's right." Some of the young people nodded frequently, and worry floated on their faces.
"What's new, what's new!" Suddenly, an excited and high-pitched voice shattered the gloomy atmosphere.
"Tell me about it." They all thought that the conditions of the alliance were made public, and the whole heart was hard to breathe.
"The royal family of the patriotic country was destroyed, and half of the territory of the patriotic country was returned to the Mu country." The man was very excited and danced while talking, and the indescribable excitement and joy were vividly vented.
"Say what, say it again!" It's not that I don't hear clearly, it's that I don't really believe in the truth of what I hear.
The man repeated the original words, and in order to take care of all the listeners, he slowed down word by word with great patience.
"How could it be, how could it be!" It has become a muttered word in everyone's mouth, and it is about to become a mantra.
"Why not, how can't it be." The young man said loudly, "Mu Country is not a weak country, why can't I annex Wei Guo if I am a big country, speaking of which, the territory of Wei Guo is a little smaller than Mu Country." He also gestured with his hands.
"But the defense of the country is also a strong country, and the end of the war at the beginning of the three kingdoms has achieved the strength of the three countries, which shows that the defense of the country is not weak." Some people still don't want to believe it, and they say one thing or the other.
"Don't forget, who is the coach of Mu Guo, plus a Yan Guo who is also not weak. Plans are in the people, and things are in the sky, this is the latest situation that the Xu family has received, and the border pass is earlier than we know. The man didn't care if someone retorted. After all, such a big event is still a big happy event, somewhat similar to being hit by a pie falling from the sky, and the whole person is in a dazed state and can't figure it out.
"What's going on with that half of the Patriotic Territory?" Someone asked about the rest of the story.
"That's hard to guess." The man said happily, "The purpose of the alliance between Mu Yan and the two countries is this, the Emperor of the Kingdom has no way to destroy Mu, but unexpectedly, there is a turn for the worse and the two countries are destroyed by the two countries, and the reason of heaven is the retribution that the country deserves." ”
"As for why half of the Patriotic territory. This is going to talk about the conditions for the alliance between Mu and Yan, the Wing King promised to give half of the land promised to Yan after annexing the Wei Guo, and the two countries of Mu Yan will divide the Wei Guo equally. The more the man spoke, the more energetic he became. The two pieces of news came too suddenly, and the story was even more exciting than the story in the book.
"That means it has nothing to do with Mu Guo?" One person asked, still having doubts in his heart.
"It doesn't matter what you mean, it really matters." The man solemnly corrected, "It's not God-sent good luck that it is difficult to expand the territory of Mu Kingdom. ”
"It's not. What I mean by this is that the terms of the alliance between the two countries do not involve the Mu country. "He who speaks divides and speaks, and makes the word clear.
"That's it." It's hard to say it earlier, so people are overly excited. Zigu muttered a few words, "No, I heard from the Xu family that the Wing King was unwilling to exchange Mu Guo's land and gold for the Yan Kingdom's alliance, and it took the boss's strength to negotiate with many parties." ”
"The Winged King is really the blessing of the country and the blessing of the people." When the old man heard this, he sighed first, and his voice was full of admiration for the Wing King's obedience.
"No, a great good man, a real pillar of the country." Exclamations frequently erupted from the crowd. These are all from the simple hearts of the people.
"If there are a few more officials like the Wing King, why worry about the country and the people!" It is rare to conceive for the people of the country.
"The first emperor is really wise, and what he values is the ability of the Wing King. The previous false rumors are self-defeating. "For the first time in many years, I raised my eyebrows and exhaled my face.
"That is, who is the Wing King, the prince of this Mu country, and the blessed general above the people." There are no words of praise that can be described, covering the exploits made by the Wing King, not only to keep the Mu country, but also to win a larger land for the Mu country.
The hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China were almost top-heavy by these two thunderous shocks, that is the defense of the country, it was divided like this, and it ended without any news coming out? It's even more difficult to accept than listening to heavenly books.
Regardless of whether it is good or bad, the courtiers can't help but remember the emperor's immobile posture and look down on the courtiers, and the emperor ordered that the border personnel should not interfere, probably since then they knew or expected that or the news that the Yiwang sent back to Beijing to promote the alliance between Mu Yan and the two countries, only the courtiers were kept in the dark and frightened all day long.
Some officials had a lively mind and immediately got a glimpse of something profitable from the newly obtained news, and started to think crookedly, half of the land of the country is also not a small territory, and now it is in the late stage of the war, it is necessary to send Mu officials to preside over the overall situation, what a good opportunity.
The officials of the Great Prince's faction were really about to run out of skills now, and the Wing King threw two explosive mines out of thin air, shattering their old bones with one foot in the coffin, and the original plan was no longer applicable.
The brain turned fast, although I don't know how much the Wing King paid to unite with the Yan Army to win the country, but no one dared to put his beak fearlessly in the future identity of the Wing King, that is the real version of the real power figure, and he can't be offended lightly.
It took two nights of sleepless work for the eldest prince's officials to give advice, and analyzed a lot of useful news for the eldest prince, and it is not a little gain, Weidi is the best location, far away from Beijing, and the one who wants to do it can't be controlled, mainly because he can't see nature, he can't stretch out his hand, and for the eldest prince is a big pie that has accumulated strength and flourished, and he is bound to swallow it.
Mu Zhao is not greedy, but it is difficult to make up his mind because of his concerns, after all, the Wing King has made great efforts to make the first contribution in this matter, and picking peaches like this will really not be retaliated by the Wing King, the Wing King is now not what it used to be, and there is really no way to take her with military power in his hands, so it is really not appropriate to act rashly.
has suffered a lot of losses, but there is always a memory, although Mu Zhao is moved, he does not dare to take this step rashly.
The officials carefully considered and analyzed the feasible, but still uncertain factors to speculate and verify, to see how feasible it was, but it was really impossible to wait for the court to see what other officials were thinking, and then make a temporary play, but that was just that.
Mu Zhao was used to being cautious, this was all forced by Mu Jinming, and he abolished many of his subordinates, causing him to be trapped in a dilemma.
In the early court, after the courtiers and hundreds of officials bowed three times and bowed nine times, their eyes inadvertently conveyed the message, and after a pause for a while, an official came out to play.
Mu Jinming looked at the opening remarks of the officials under him lazily, and he didn't know where to start this, which was really exciting.
The officials asked the border guard general Li Qi of Pingnan and the general of Zhenbei to be destroyed, and no matter what crimes the two families committed, it is necessary to ask the emperor to appoint a commander to fix the hearts of the army.
As soon as this remark came out, many officials had the idea that the border pass was not a good place to go before, but now it is different, the border pass war has been decided and has achieved unpredictable good results, at this time the border pass is not threatened by foreign enemies, you say foreign? That's nothing, but a bunch of uncivilized barbarians don't matter.
It's so easy to win military power, it's a big taboo to have no commander at the border, and this matter has to be put on the agenda to deal with it, and it really dragged on for a long time, even if you know it, no one dares to open your mouth to find bad luck at this juncture.
Today is different from the past, everything is developing towards the good, and the military power in front of him does not want to be a fool, so the officials of the Great Prince's faction moved when they heard the fish, and they made enough efforts to gain military power for the Great Prince.
Mu Jinming showed a rare smile, and looked at a group of civil and military officials, what happened to the emperor? laughed so much that it was called an infiltrating person, and it was suddenly sudden.
It is not difficult to guess the official's thoughts, what is on the surface, but unfortunately the bamboo basket will be empty, Mu Jinming smiled very happily, Xi Chao can really eliminate all difficulties for his long face, and there is no need to talk nonsense with the courtiers.
Mu Jinming restrained a little, and told the ministers in a warm voice not to be busy, and there was no need to think about it, the matter of the border pass commander had been resolved, and the border pass commander had already filled the vacancy with the executed generals, so he didn't bother the courtiers.
The courtiers were stunned when they heard this, and said that they had heard it wrong, it shouldn't be like this, how could it be so fast, the emperor wasn't joking to make fun of the courtiers, right? The reason for thinking this is the good news of the victory at the border pass, and anyone can sit still.
Mu Jinming saw the doubts of the courtiers, and generously answered them, after a few months, there were already suitable candidates for generals in the border pass, all of whom were from the army, and the whole army was recognized, and there was no need for the court to appoint them, the reason was simple, the situation at the border pass was naturally well understood, and the dispatch of others was not enough, so there was no need to discuss this matter, and the holy decree had already been issued to the courtiers to rest their hearts that they should not have.
"......" courtiers are quite helpless and speechless, and the will of the courtiers is issued so unclearly without going through the courtiers' agreement, and they don't take the courtiers seriously! (To be continued......)
