Chapter 81: A Knock from the Emperor
Mu Qingge had no way to excuse himself, so he could only follow the emperor's words and continue: "The northwest land is the gateway to the plain, if this place is broken, the enemy army can wave its army north in three days and approach my Gyeonggi." ”
"Yes."
The emperor nodded and said: "This is the crux of the matter, if Su Rui is allowed to guard the northwest, I am absolutely assured, he has always had the demeanor of a Confucian general, and he has made many military exploits for me, but if Ling Xuanbai goes, I am really not at ease." ”
These words were all put in order, Mu Qingge felt like she was waiting for herself to drill in, so she was still silent and didn't speak, the more she reached this critical juncture, the more she couldn't speak, and there were many mistakes.
At this moment, the eldest duke in the palace trotted over and said a few words in the emperor's ear, and the emperor nodded and said, "Let's wait outside first!" ”
"I know you're a smart girl, and you don't know how to do ordinary things, so I just want to ask you if the third child did it secretly this time." After the emperor finished his order, he stared at Mu Qingge and asked, "He just wanted to send Ling Xuanbai, so he secretly transported things in." ”
Hearing this, Mu Qingge's delicate face had more doubts and deep thoughts, and after thinking about it carefully, she still told everything that day.
Then Mu Qingge said: "This matter is handled by the Third Prince, if there is a problem, I don't know very well." ”
"In other words, you really don't know about it?" The emperor sighed and said, "Really, don't know anything? ”
"I don't know." Mu Qingge said affirmatively: "Daddy has taught Qingge to do things openly and honestly since he was a child, if I knew about such a thing, I would definitely stop it, not to mention that Su Rui is Qingge's senior brother." ”
The emperor nodded when he heard this, if it weren't for this relationship, he would definitely not believe that Mu Qingge had not participated in this incident.
"You have a point." The emperor sighed and said: "But such a catastrophe from heaven, if General Su is allowed to take the blame for no reason, I can't bear it." ”
"The Emperor's Free Decision"
Seeing that Mu Qingge didn't go in, the emperor stared at her for a while and then said slowly: "I heard that you have been quite close to the third prince recently. ”
"It is true." Mu Qingge simply said clearly: "But Qingge is just a woman, and she doesn't dare to play with His Royal Highness, so I ask the emperor to persuade the prince that Qingge's wedding is imminent, so don't always come to me." ”
The emperor smiled, played with the wrench on his thumb and said: "You are the child I watched grow up, when you were clamoring in the house to follow your father to join the army, if I didn't persuade you, I'm afraid it wouldn't work, right?" It's been a long time since I think about it. ”
"Yes, the emperor was still the crown prince at that time." Mu Qingge also said with a smile on his face.
"I still remember what happened at the beginning, but when I think about it, decades have passed." The emperor said with a sad face: "Now that you have grown up, you can be in charge of the General's Mansion alone, and even many people are interested in scolding you, and what you value is the gold-lettered signboard of the General's Mansion." ”
Mu Qingge raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and then hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the General's Mansion is the Emperor's General's Mansion, and the General is also the Emperor's General, and this gold-lettered signboard is also the emperor's gold-lettered signboard." ”
After listening to Mu Qingge's words, the emperor laughed and waved his hand and said: "You think too much, I just feel it and say this, but then again, there are not many people who can know this truth!" ”
"If anyone moves the mind of the General's Mansion, the child will tell them what the emperor means."
"You are still too young, there are some things that you don't understand very well, just take the matter of you and the third child, if you and the third child go in, the people in the court will guess, is it the general's mansion and the three princes united? In this way, it is easy to form a party faction, and it has always been taboo for the court to form a party for personal gain. ”
Listening to the emperor talk to him about the affairs of the court, Mu Qingge's eyes flashed with some essence.
The emperor didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and continued: "Why do I care so much about General Su Rui's affairs? It's because if General Su Rui's matter is confirmed, forget it, and if it is not true, I can't give an explanation, so if someone says that I arranged for the third child to do this, in order to take away the military power and hand it over to the third prince, wouldn't this chill the hearts of the generals. ”
"In the land of the capital master, the first good district, no one will really dare to talk about the holy word like this, right?" Mu Qingge immediately continued: "General Su's case, it is inevitable to find out, but because he was in a hurry, he hurriedly gave a result, and it also hurt the emperor's sage." ”
The emperor listened to Mu Qingge playing Tai Chi back and forth with him, and he didn't say a word when he retreated, and he understood that the other party seemed to be unwilling to tell the truth, so he nodded and said: "It seems that if it is really the only way, I can only send General Su to atone for his sins and make Ling Xuanbai a prisoner." ”
"The northwest land is the top priority, I can't take this place as a bet because I am afraid of chilling General Su's heart, but the consequences of this matter need to be borne by me and the general's mansion." The emperor stood up and said, "Okay, I still have government affairs to do." ”
Seeing the emperor leave in front, Mu Qingge sat on the stone pier and frowned, why did the emperor have to be sure that he did it himself?
This shouldn't be the case.
"What's wrong, what are you thinking?"
Not long after the emperor left, Feng Wuchen walked in from outside, looked at Mu Qingge's distressed face and asked, "Are you thinking about Su Rui's bribery case?" ”
"The emperor called me just now for this matter, and told me some things in the court, anyway, I always feel that his old man has decided that I did it." Mu Qingge crossed his arms and frowned, "Why? ”
"I said you're a stupid girl, and you have to help with the money when you are sold." Feng Wuchen gently blew Mu Qingge's nose and said, "Something happened outside, you and I can talk about it while we walk!" ”
Having been pampered by Feng Wuchen, Mu Qingge immediately said with a layer of frost on his face: "What do you mean!" ”
"I don't know what's going on in this matter, but I'll give you an assumption about the emperor's intentions." Feng Wuchen walked in the palace and said: "You and Feng Wuchen worked together to put things in Su Rui's military tent, and then the result of the incident was that Su Rui was dismissed and recuperated in the capital. ”
"Exactly, what does that have to do with me? Why do you have to think that I did it? ”
