Chapter 189: A Long Night III

At night, the beacon fire was in the North Palace, but there was a very quiet atmosphere in the official office of the Printing Supervision Office, and only the sound of the workshop sounded around the official office.

"Shizi, the meal is here!" In the hall, Huo Yu brought in the meal in a hurry.

"Zhongheng, put these things away!"

Mu Jing handed him today's harvest, a jade ring, a waist match, and two jade jue, and said, "Good things are here, they may be useful in the future!" ”

This is what he got after he went through Liu Xie and Liu Wei in one day.

"Yes!"

Huo Yu took a look, this thing was obviously not rich or expensive, he hurriedly put the thing away, and then took out a secret letter from his long sleeves, handed it to Mu Jing, lowered his voice, and said: "Shizi, the letter sent by His Royal Highness is just said in the afternoon!" “

"Does anyone know?"

"No, the letter is directly in my hands!"

"I see, you go down first!"

Mu Jing squinted and said.

"No!"

After Huo Yu left the letter, he bowed and retreated.

"I've been serving two little kids for most of the day, but I'm starving!"

Mujing was hungry at night in Luoshui, so he had dinner in three or two.

After dinner, Mu Jing leisurely opened the vermilion lacquer, opened the letter, looked at the letter inside, and looked at the handwriting on it, it was indeed Zhang Ning's handwritten letter, which had the unique contact information between them.

"It's good to be able to gain a foothold in the north!"

He read the letter, breathed a sigh of relief, and then burned it with a lamp, and only then did he feel relieved to see it burned to ashes.

This will be the beginning of the chaotic times of his father and son.

It is also a hole card for him to gain a foothold in Luoyang.

"Long Tu, you are really in front of Mount Tai and you are not in chaos, and now the city of Ruoyang has become like this, you still have the situation to sit here and review the official office?" Xi Zhicai stepped in, knelt down and sat down, looking at Mu Jing, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts, but unfortunately from Mu Jing's expression, he couldn't see anything.

"Chaos is chaos, what do you have to do with me!"

Mu Jing beckoned, let a few guards on the left and right come in to clean up the countertop, and then spread out a few official documents, and began to deal with the official documents of the printing supervisor: "In his position, keep his duties, I am the seal supervisor, I only need to take care of my one acre and three points of land!" “

"The general has already waved the army to Beigong, don't you say you don't know?" Xi Zhicai looked at him with dead eyes.

"Yes!" Mu Jing nodded calmly.

Obviously, the killer was sent by He Jin, since he has failed, He Jin will definitely break the boat, if He Jin has this courage, he is not worthy of becoming a general of the dynasty and commanding all armies in the world.

"Don't tell me you didn't cause this mess?" Xi Zhicai squinted: "Today, someone took the two princes to skip class, but now everyone in Luoyang knows about it!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Mu Jing paused for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal: "I'm just a pawn, how can I cause a rebellion in the imperial court, you think too much, I'm just a target at most!" ”

"Are you helping the prince argue or the prince's association?"

Xi Zhicai stopped going around in circles, and asked straight to the point.

"Wrong!"

Mu Jing's face was straight, he shook his head, and said, "I am helping Your Majesty today!" ”

"The Son of Heaven didn't faint at all, did he?" Xi Zhi was only a little transparent, and his pupils changed slightly: "It turns out that you already knew, so you are leading the snake out of the hole, the goal of the Son of Heaven...... Be a great general! ”

"How can I be as smart as you think!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "There are all old foxes in the court, where can I count them, I just happened to meet it, and I always feel that the Son of Heaven is not so easy to fall, just try it!" ”

"If you try, it will make the court chaotic!" Xi Zhicai's gaze at Mu Jing was a little complicated.

"If I don't provoke, won't this court be chaotic?" Mu Jing asked rhetorically.

"But what's in it for you?"

"Benefits?"

Mu Jing thought for a while: "At least I can know the strength of Luoyang now!" ”

"Why do you want to know the strength of the Luoyang Army?" Xi Zhicai was even more confused.

"I have a little confidence when I save my life!"

"I don't understand!" The drama is clear but not clear.

"Didn't you care about these things in the past?" Mu Jing asked a little strangely.

"The world's scholars, the career is fate, even if the clear stream is like Cai sacrificial wine, hiding in the purity of Taixue, but also being pulled down by someone in this muddy water, who can go to the world and ignore the government!" Xi Zhicai sighed and said with some bitterness.

Learn the art of literature and martial arts, and sell it to the emperor's family.

This is the eternal pursuit of Confucian disciples.

He is not a high school, he just can't find a suitable opportunity to become a scholar, he is not a child of the scholar family, he does not have a strong connection, he can only rely on fame, and paying attention to the trend of the court is the homework of every scholar.

"If you want to be a leader, it's not difficult!" Mu Jing said with a smile: "If He Jin wins tonight, I will definitely not be able to sit still in this position, but some people will not let the children of the Shi clan sit in this position, because they still know the importance of it, so you, a well-known son of a poor family, will have a chance!" ”

Tonight, who loses and who wins, he doesn't know.

But he knew that the peace of Luoyang had been broken, and he was afraid that he would have a peaceful birthday.

"Do you think Your Majesty will lose?"

Xi Zhicai frowned slightly.

"I don't know!"

Mu Jing sighed, his eyes were gloomy, and said: "But Your Majesty is too anxious, this is in favor of He Jin, He Jin is still a scholar clan behind him, and the scholar clan is a lonely bet, and the strength is something you and I both know!" ”

"And what about the worst outcome?"

"Beigong will be breached!"

Xi Zhicai asked, "Will He Jin kill the king?" ”

"No!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "He doesn't dare, even if he has the guts, so many officials in the court will not allow it, the worst result should be that Your Majesty loses, loses the court, loses the government!" ”

"Lost the court, lost the government?"

Xi Zhicai suddenly understood, and his eyes burst with a gleam: "Are you reduced to a puppet?" ”

……

……

The north palace was attacked by the enemy on both sides, and the east was attacked by the northern army, but the south palace was attacked by the general He Jin and the general Yuan Shu of the tiger ben Zhonglang.

In the palace city, there are two soldiers and horses.

One is the main force of the Southern Army, the Royal Forest Army that adheres to the North Palace, and the main will be Liu Fan, the commander of the North Palace, who personally climbed the city wall and waved his troops to block it.

The other part is the eight camps of the West Garden.

The main task of the Eighth Battalion of the West Garden tonight is to block the Northern Army, and Jian Shuo led a heavy army to rush to the east gate of the palace and defend the east gate.

"Attack!"

"Knock open the palace door!"

"Kill the eunuch, right now!"

To the east of the palace gate, the main battlefield of the five battalions of the Northern Army, one by one the children of the Northern Army charged into battle as if they were at home.

As the main force of today's imperial court, the five battalions of the Northern Army, whether equipped with weapons or personal combat effectiveness, are the first in the world, not to mention the guards guarding the North Palace, the Beigong Imperial Forest, even the elite soldiers of the West Garden cannot stop the might of the Northern Army.

"Father-in-law, I can't stop it!"

Xia Mu, the left captain who was guarding the city wall, stepped forward and arched his hand: "My left battalion has suffered nearly four hundred casualties, and if it goes on like this, the morale of the army will inevitably collapse!" ”

"Order, the right battalion and the pawn battalion press up!" Jian Shuo's voice was cold, and his murderous intent was terrifying: "Tonight, even if we all die here, no one will be allowed to threaten Your Majesty's safety!" ”

"No!"

After the two battalions were transferred, the precarious situation began to be pressed back a little.

"Attack again!"

The face of He Xianjun, the marquis of the northern army under the city, became a little hideous, and he said angrily: "Shooting battalion, press the bow and crossbow up!" ”

"Yes!"

The Shooting Battalion is equipped with heavy crossbows and strong bows, which are a powerful weapon for attacking walls and breaking through cities.

"Damn it!"

On the city wall, Jian Shuo's eyes were gloomy and bullish like ice: "I don't believe it, press my upper military camp up, today, our family and the city wall live and die together!" ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The sound of the battle resounded through the sky like a drum, echoing in the palace.

……

……

In the palace.

The Son of Heaven sat firmly on Mount Tai, did not move, and tasted tea peacefully.

"How's the situation outside the palace?"

"Your Majesty, the east gate has not been lost, but most of the south gate has been lost!" Zhang Rang replied.

"The northern army can't get in, but the south gate of Miyagi can't stop it!"

The Son of Heaven smiled: "This scholar clan can't hold their breath first, I still underestimate their strength in Luoyang City, it seems that I have miscalculated a little tonight!" ”

"Your Majesty, why don't you move to the north?"

"If you leave this palace, I won't be the emperor!"

The Son of Heaven shook his head: "Don't worry, this night hasn't passed yet, and as long as I stand up tonight, the world won't be chaotic, at most, it's just ...... Hehe! ”

He smiled and said nothing.

This game of chess is played to this point, it is nothing more than a matter of going further and taking a step back, and it is not so much that the chessboard is turned over.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here!" A small eunuch came to report.

"Let her in!"

"No!"

The eunuchs around Xiaoyuan scattered.

Today's queen, Queen He is dressed in a phoenix robe and comes in style: "The concubine meets Your Majesty!" ”

"Zitong, come here!" The secluded way of the Son of Heaven.

"Yes!"

Empress He walked over, sat cross-legged on her knees, and gently boiled water and made tea for the Son of Heaven.

"You and I have known each other for many years!" The Son of Heaven remembered the past and said softly: "In the deep palace back then, only you and I were with us, and I will never forget those times!" ”

There is love between the Son of Heaven and Empress He.

Queen He is not a powerful family, she can stand out in this harem, only because she has always accompanied the Son of Heaven in the most difficult time, so she has the favor of the Son of Heaven, and one person has ascended to heaven, so she has the current cousin He family.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is ashamed!"

Empress He bowed down and said, "Brother, he is not rebelling, he is just for the sake of arguing!" ”

"For the sake of argument?" A sneer rose at the corner of the Son of Heaven's mouth.

"That's right, for the sake of arguing!" Empress He is not a little woman, she can be the master of the harem, and the person who seizes power under the powerful Empress Dowager Dong will not be a weak woman, and her momentum is not under the Son of Heaven.

"He killed Xie'er for the sake of arguing?" The gloomy voice of the Son of Heaven was startled.

"Brother is confused!"

Empress He bowed her head and said sincerely: "The concubine guarantees that this matter will not happen, and please ask Your Majesty to discharge her charges!" ”

"Then he just wants to force the palace?"

"Brother has no such intention!"

Empress He shook her head: "Your Majesty prefers the second son, and he is unfair to the arguing son, and the elder brother is uneven, so he took the risk, the brother is at fault in this matter, and the concubine is willing to bear His Majesty's punishment for him!" ”

"Okay!"

The Son of Heaven smiled, his smile was a little evil, and there was a trace of gloomy aura on his pale face: "I will bet on the fate of the Han royal family today, as long as he He Jin can come to me today, how about I defend my son as the crown prince in front of him today?" ”

"If it's a brother, he'......"

"He's dead!"

The Son of Heaven was cold.

Empress He trembled, her hands cold.
