Early the next morning, there was a dispute in the Jinluan Palace. Why? It is nothing more than that the sixth prince, Mu Zexi, fought against the ministers and strongly recommended Xiao Xiaoxiao, the daughter of the Xiao family, to go on the expedition against Dayu.

This matter naturally caused controversy among the ministers. The old emperor also sat on the dragon chair with a dark face, sitting on the dragon chair in a dull manner, looking at the people who were making a fuss below.

"The sixth prince's move, the old minister objected. What kind of system does a woman become when she goes on the expedition? As the saying goes, there are no rules, there is no circle-·"

The old minister seconded. And the daughter of the Xiao family, who has no shape, also crippled the son of the old minister before, such a woman, she didn't have to lose the face of my great sage! ”

"Yes, I feel that it is not enough for Dayu to commit, and it is okay to suppress and suppress it casually, so I don't have to worry."

——·

Except for the ministers standing behind Mu Zexi, who were very quiet and did not say much, the ministers on the other side seemed to have said everything that the court had to say in the past year.

The corners of Mu Zexi's mouth floated with a meaningful smile, and his eyes became colder and colder when he listened to the words of these pillars of the country.

"The three daughters in Lord Li's family, the eldest daughter shows up to open a pawnshop, the second daughter likes to sing, and often goes to the opera garden to pretend to be a play, and the third daughter beats the prince on the street.

After speaking, Mu Zexi's gaze turned slightly, and he put it on the minister who answered the phone behind, and laughed a few times, and the scalp of the minister who laughed straight was numb, and then he said: "As a military general, if you don't want my great sage to lose face, don't let go into battle in person, or your disabled son can go into battle?" ”

The minister hurriedly took two steps back, bowed his head, and pretended to be the one who had just spoken? It's not what I look like anyway.

"Lord Xu can see it, and thinks that it is not a big deal for Dayu to commit a crime, so why don't you promote Lord Xu to the protector of Qiyang Chengdu and sit in Qiyang? Presumably, it will be able to suppress Dayu. ”

After the words were spoken, all the ministers shut up one after another, one by one for fear of involving themselves. It's not that they don't know that the people of Dayu are fierce, and if they go to the town to guard, they are afraid that they will not survive for more than two days, and they will be defeated and flee.

Those who were still indignant, now you look at me and I look at you, and they have completely lost their momentum.

Mu Zexi sneered twice, walked to the center of the hall, and said without a trace of emotion: "It seems that your lords, is there a better candidate than Xiao Xiaoxiao?" Really? ”

A better candidate than Xiao Xiaoxiao?

No, no, no, except for the sixth prince, you personally go into battle, I'm afraid there is no better candidate.

"Or, do you think that life in the capital is too comfortable, so you don't know the plight of the people on the border? I see that you are used to the delicacies of the mountains and the sea! ”

Mu Zexi has always spoken mercilessly, and when his words landed, those ministers looked at each other, and they all lowered their heads and whispered.

In this case, the old emperor naturally couldn't treat it as if he hadn't seen it, so he could only cough dryly and say seriously: "Little Liu!" Do you have to recommend the girl of the Xiao family today? ”

"Yes. General Xiao is brave and good at fighting, there are no dogs in Humen, Xiao Changyi is good at fighting, and his sister is definitely not bad! ”

It's just that after Mu Zexi finished speaking, the old emperor's face was extremely gloomy, as if he had endured it for a long time, suddenly got up, waved his big hand, and said, "Retreat from the dynasty!" Little Liuzi, you come with me! ”

Mu Zexi twisted his brows slightly, and followed the old emperor into the Qinzheng Palace.

When he entered, everyone in the palace had already retreated, and there was only the old emperor in the hall, sitting on the dragon chair, with an old face that was a little dark, obviously sickly.

Mu Zexi took a deep breath, walked in, lifted his robe, and knelt down.

"What, know you're wrong?"

The old emperor sneered, and for a while, he didn't know what to say to this son who he had been favored since he was a child. This son has made him proud for so many years, he is sophisticated, takes into account the overall situation, has a sharp mind, and is smart enough, and is the best candidate to inherit the throne. But today, he is confused.

"Yes. Erchen knows his mistake. ”

Mu Zexi was not stubborn and honestly admitted his mistakes. Just as the old emperor was groaning, brewing his emotions and planning to sigh with emotion, suddenly, Mu Zexi spoke: "However, Erchen thinks that this expedition is none other than Xiao Xiaoxiao. ”

"You !!!!"

Suddenly, the old emperor's eyes exploded, his whole body trembled with anger, and the hand pointing at Mu Zexi trembled, as if it was about to break and fall off at any time.

"Father, the emperor and his sons know that women have rarely taken the lead since ancient times. However, most of the military generals in our dynasty are not martial, the soldiers are not generals, and the Dayu is attacking, most of them are testing our country's national strength. If the battle is defeated, there will be chaos. Although Xiao Xiaoxiao is not a woman, she is from the Jiangmen, and she is brave and resourceful, and she can take on heavy responsibilities! ”

What Mu Zexi said was reasonable, but the old emperor wanted to scold in his heart, pointed at Mu Zexi and said angrily: "I think you are confused!!! Don't you know that if you lose this battle, even if you sit in that position in the future, it will be difficult for you to sit firmly? This will be the biggest failure of your life! ”

"Erchen knows."

Old Emperor: "Then do you know that the people of the world do not agree with Xiao Xiaoxiao's expedition, why do you support her?" ”

Mu Zexi: "She is the Xiao family." “

In fact, the real reason was because of Chu Yan, but if Mu Zexi said so, then the old emperor would definitely send someone to cut Chu Yan directly. The red face and the water are all harming their own families.

The old emperor brushed his beard, looked at Mu Zexi deeply several times, and said angrily: "I give you a chance, if the people of the world agree, if she really has that ability, I don't object!" ”

As if he was afraid that the old emperor would regret it, as soon as he heard this, Mu Zexi hurriedly kowtowed and said seriously: "Thank you father." will live up to the expectations of his father! ”

The old emperor's angry face turned green, he gritted his teeth and glared at Mu Zexi, eager to go up and kick his feet before he was willing: "I want to see, how do you plug the mouths of people in the world!! Hum!! ”

Mu Zexi hung his head and did not speak.

As soon as the time passed, it was afternoon. Chu Yan sat in front of the window dejectedly, lamenting and smirking.

Lamenting, how can he convince the people? What's silly is that he dreamed of a beautiful man last night! Although the beautiful man felt a bit like Mu Zexi, she Miss Chu would not admit it.

"Hey—"

When the one hundred and ninety-ninth lament sounded in the courtyard of the Jardine House, even the birds that had stayed in the courtyard for a short time flew away in disgust.

Chu Yan glanced at the empty courtyard with resentment, and suddenly felt very helpless.

"Hey—"

"Miss!! What the hell is wrong with you? Did you eat two less pieces of meat in the morning? Or is it a little hotter today, and you're tired? Yu'er looked at her young lady worriedly, and her heart was also entangled, this, what is the trouble with this young lady, is she sighing like this?

During this time, there were no suspicious characters around the prince? And the prince has nothing to say to his own master. What went wrong?

The two of them were struggling, but Meng Yi suddenly came in laughing, and threw a roll of his eyes at the fish girl with a smile on his face, and then he saluted Chu Yan in a proper manner.

Actually, Chu Yan guessed that this Meng guard probably wanted to throw a wink, but the eyes were too big, and if the winking was too much, it became a white eye. So he smiled and said, "Are you so happy because you came to Yiheyuan?" Or is it because I see the fish that I am so happy? ”

Meng Yi touched the back of his head and replied very embarrassedly: "Back to the princess, my old Meng is happy to see you and your future daughter-in-law." However, speaking of which, this is really a fun thing!! ”

Fun stuff? As soon as Chu Yan heard this, she became interested. Although Meng Yi is a man, the small scandals in the backyard of the deep house that came out of his set are endless, so much so that the fish girl has forced Meng Yi countless times with a pig-killing knife to ask Meng Yi if he peeks at the backyard wall every day.

As a result, Meng Yi said: "You are the secret guard of our Six Princes' Mansion like our princess, and you like to lie on the wall?" ”

Okay, she just thought that Meng Yi was praising herself. But when did she like to lie on the wall? This has to be clarified!!

"Don't sell it, what's a good thing, say it quickly!"

Yu'er is really a good maid, even if she has to sleep on Meng Yi's bed soon, but her heart is still towards Chu Yan, and she directly asked what Chu Yan wanted to know.

Meng Yi coughed twice in a pretentious manner, and then said according to the words given to him by Mu Zexi: "A few days ago, a little prodigy appeared in Hezhou, who was ten years old, and he could recite poems and write against each other, and he was talented, comparable to the reincarnation of the sixth prince. Ahh However, in the past few days, this prodigy has been questioned by the people of Hezhou, saying that it is a fraud, but in fact, he has no real talent and learning, and he is all famous. As a result, the previous time, the prodigy actually issued a war letter to Xu Yi, a talented man in Hezhou, but Xu Yi was defeated, and the prodigy became famous for a while, and he was in the limelight!!! ”

After speaking, Meng Yi cautiously looked at Chu Yan's expression, and at the same time thought, the prince confessed that he had memorized everything, right? Isn't there anything missing? Tsk, I also added a sentence, maybe the prince was happy, so he let himself marry Yu'er in advance?

"Prodigy-Genius-·"

Chu Yan dragged her head into contemplation, and always felt that these words should be something that Meng Yi couldn't say, so could it be that Mu Zexi was putting water on himself behind his back? What does he mean?

Damn, under one roof, you have to play a guess I guess you guess or not!! Chu Yan raised her head suddenly, glanced in the direction of Mu Zexi's study, resisted the urge to rush in and beat Mu Zexi violently, and rolled her eyes several times towards the air.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she rolled her eyes to the inspiration, but there was a bold idea swirling in her mind.

Mu Zexi deliberately asked Meng Yi to tell her about this, isn't it a reminder that she can go to the talented people in the capital to compete? Ahh!!h Looking for a martial champion to compete? If Xiao Xiaoxiao can prove himself with strength, presumably, there should be fewer people who oppose it?

The stupid Meng Yi didn't know that he was desperately trying to conceal that this was the prince's idea, but the princess had already guessed the mastermind behind the scenes.

Thinking about it, Chu Yan suddenly shouted at the fish: "Fish!" Flying knives and pig killing knives are all carried—"

"Miss, what are you going to do?"

"Master, fool Xiao Xiaoxiao to go to the fight——! ——”

Since Mu Zexi has given such a clear hint, she is naturally not stupid, let Xiao Xiaoxiao go to fight the martial arts champion first, and then go to deal with other generals.

In the study of Jardine Hospital, although the door was closed, the handsome man standing behind the door suddenly had a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, sighed, and commanded in a low voice: "Send someone to help secretly, don't let people see it." ”

"Lord, don't you worry about the princess-"

"She won't, even for the sake of the baby in her belly, she won't mess around."

Mu Zexi smiled very calmly, his eyes firm. He knew that Chu Yan would not settle down, and he was afraid that she would be bored, so it would be good to find something for her to toss, at least, she could be happier. That's it, that's it.
