The lame man took a thousand people to look for the treasure, but after seven or eight days of tossing and turning the treasure and not finding it, he lost seven people.

In order to find those seven people, I tossed for two more days, but in the end I couldn't find them.

Where are those seven people?

The lame man may have run away, or he may have fallen behind and lost his way.

"Captives are unreliable." The cripple sighed: "If I have 20,000 Han soldiers in my hands, I dare to fight Latif every man." ”

Chen Mu glanced at the cripple, looking at his eyes, it seemed that he was reprimanding the cripple, trying not to brag. Especially in front of Cao Sheng and Zhao Jin. These two are also sitting in the house now, and what good is it for you to brag nonsense?

Listening to the lame man's bragging, no one took the stubble, but Zhao Jin said with great interest: "Throughout the ages, there are countless examples of winning more with less. How old was the champion Hou Cai back then, and hundreds of people dared to break into the enemy camp and kill countless people. Looking at today, there are also gods like Qi Dongyang in our dynasty. ”

Cao Sheng moved slightly, as if he had something to say, but he held back.

"I've heard a passage before, and now I'm relaying it to you." Chen Mu said in a deep voice: "People can not be superstitious, but they must know cause and effect, and everything has its own reason. Those who believe in cause and effect can at least know good and evil, good and evil. Many things seem to have a providence in the dark. Heaven is clear, and retribution is circulating. ”

"We didn't come out to fight for the sake of fighting, we didn't just pursue something. We need to look to the future. What I want is a complete Western Regions, based on this, to compete with the Central Plains. Of course, the country I founded was itself a country of Central Plains culture, and I advocated Confucianism and Legalism. Only by doing this will I be able to walk into the Central Plains in the future, so that there will be no cultural barriers. ”

"I am a prince of royal blood, sooner or later I will change my surname back to Zhao, and advertise the world, I will maintain the imperial power, so that I can justifiably compete with the three major gates."

"It's a big goal, it's a long road and it's a lot of difficulties. I need a foundation, and a base is important to me. There is depth, there is a population base, an economic base, and the people must be united. ”

"I don't want military unity, but cultural unity."

The people in the house did not speak.

Zhao Jin wanted to look at Cao Sheng, but Cao Sheng didn't look up.

Obviously, Chen Mu's words have exposed his ambitions, but he said them in a high-sounding manner that makes it impossible to refute.

Zhao Jin lowered his head, fiddled with the teacup, and said in a faint tone: "His Majesty the Emperor listened to the advice of the generals and decided not to go to Dunhuang, but to send troops directly to Ulcheng. It is estimated that I arrived here around the first day of February. Maybe even sooner. When His Majesty comes, the Shepherd may wish to sit down with His Majesty and have a talk. Between our brothers, we can talk about everything. ”

Chen Mu smiled: "How dare you talk to Your Majesty about everything, that's too high a self-esteem." ”

Soon after, Chen Mu left the hall and came to the backyard.

Turning his head and asking, "Xiang'er, what do you think are our chances of winning?" ”

"I don't know."

Chen Mu smiled bitterly: "You must think that I am ambitious, but the bigger I say, the more bottomless I am." I even felt that this task could not be completed. ”

"Why?"

"Because Senior Sister Yan sent me a very bad news."

——

Listening to Cao Sheng, the Emperor of Heaven is actually a very humble person. This is really rare for an emperor.

Everyone said that the Emperor of Heaven was young and unwise, but Cao Sheng did not see it that way at all, he believed that the Emperor of Heaven was just hiding his intelligence.

The more incompetent he seems, the safer he becomes.

Chen Mu agreed with Cao Sheng's statement.

Cao Sheng emphasized that the Emperor of Heaven was really humble, and if it weren't for the limitations of his status as a monarch and minister, he really wanted to make friends with the emperor.

It's a pity that it can't, because of the emperor's profession, it is unlikely that he will have friends.

For him, everyone in the world is a "villain", and the "villain" here refers to the subordinate, which is relative to the "adult". For example, Lord Zhao, Lord Qian.

So for the emperor, it is either his own minions, or his own enemies.

It is said that tiger poison does not eat children, is it possible for the queen mother to become the emperor's enemy, and will the queen mother kill the emperor?

Emperor Xiaoming of the Northern Wei Dynasty was killed by the famous Empress Dowager Hu Ling. Originally, Yuan Xu had already controlled the overall situation, he could easily kill his mother, and the royalist general Er Zhurong was rushing to the capital, but unfortunately at this time, Emperor Xiaoming Yuan Xu relented, and was killed by the Queen Mother when he found an opportunity.

It is said that Emperor Tianci has been studying since he was a child, and he will not know this history, using history as a mirror, if he is really in power, how will he treat the Empress Dowager Chen?

Presumably, Empress Dowager Chen also knows this truth.

But Chen Mu was very strange, if the Queen Mother knew this truth, why did she let the Emperor of Heaven send an expedition.

Isn't this cultivating the dragon nature in his son?

came out to fight, the dragon gave birth to scale armor, sharp claws and sharp teeth, returned to Luoyang with military merits, and there were many loyal ministers around him, what is the benefit to the queen mother?

After lunch, Zhao Jin disappeared, and it is said that he went to sell his car.

It seems that he really has nothing to do, so he finds a reason to go out for a walk.

Chen Mu and Cao Sheng played chess, and both of them were a little absent-minded, gossiping while playing chess.

Chen Mu said to Cao Sheng: "I think the Queen Mother is ambitious. Under her rule, there must be a break between the royal family and the three major gates. ”

Cao Shengdao: "This time Your Majesty comes to the Western Regions, you will definitely have a long conversation with the King of Shepherds." ”

Chen Mu nodded: "I have long told others that I am also a pawn of the Queen Mother." ”

——

It was already late January, His Majesty the Emperor was still on the road, and the days were a little difficult, so Chen Mu had nothing to do to write a letter to his family in Dunhuang.

From the letters from Hanxiang, Xiaohuan and others, I learned that Yu Linglong was about to give birth.

Chen Mu felt that he should prepare a big gift for the child.

But what is the best gift?

Giving money seems too vulgar.

So Chen Mu decided to take out the best piece of jade in his hand and find a jade craftsman to carve a smiling statue for the child.

So he picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Xiaohuan and asked her to handle it as she saw fit.

In addition, I told Xiaohuan to make less trouble at home, I know that you are restless in your heart, and you will not want to show off everywhere in my name. Otherwise, you'll have your ears pulled out when you get home. When I have nothing to do, I will teach Li Shi and Qiyu to read and write, and when I go back, I hope that the two of them will know at least 500 words. If it's less than that, I'm going to punish you too. You will not be allowed to eat meat for a month.

Recently, Han Jianniang seems to have been very dissipated, as if people have evaporated.

Why is this happening, Chen Mu also wondered, so he wrote a letter to Han Jianniang, greetings, did you find a new love, if this is the case, you have to be careful. Your husband, Jun Zhu Meng, is also the supervisor of the Second Brigade and the Third Brigade, and he is also a person with prestige in the army. If you let him lose his prestige, he will surely take your head off.

From all aspects of the letterheads, Chen Mu sensed a bad situation, and the situation of Hanxiang's dictatorship was getting more and more serious. Recently, she has changed positions in succession, and arranged all the minions of the Tang family gate valve to some unimportant departments.

Whether it is the military or the political circles, she is making a big move, and she even wants to expel Tang Liu, the prefect of Shazhou.

This idea was a bit dangerous, and Chen Mu decided to stop it.
