Looking at Mu Qiuhuang, who looked like a chicken thief, Zhang Fuling also grinned and said, "Boy, don't be stupid, I advise you to rest early!" Is there anything you have sinned about tomorrow? ”

"Is the old fairy going to return to Wudang Mountain tomorrow? Why don't you stay in the Hou Mansion for a few more days? In addition to "The Story of a Thousand Boats", "Hundred Flowers", "Jade Girl's Love" and "Pink Daimei", there are also "Lady Picture", "Pipa Dew" and "Snow Moon Edge...... Don't look at these old immortals? Mu Qiuhuang seduced him shyly.

Zhang Fuling squinted at Mu Qiuhuang and said proudly: "Boy, you want me to wait for you for a few more days, right?" I don't follow your wishes, just tomorrow morning, do you like to go? ”

"Negotiable?"

"The old way says yes."

Mu Qiuhuang glanced at Zhang Fuling resentfully, and ran away in a puff of smoke...... Only Zhang Fuling, who looked proud, and the little monk who wanted to speak were left.

Zhang Fuling turned around, saw Wuxin's appearance, and said with concern: "Little monk, if you have anything to say, just say don't hold back your illness again, is there a bottleneck in your cultivation...... It doesn't hurt for you to speak out, with my relationship with wisdom and hardship, it's not impossible to give you some advice. ”

"Amitabha, since Zhang Xianren asked, the little monk also spoke bluntly, you and Mu Shizhu said "A Thousand Boats", "Hundred Flowers", "Jade Girl's Love", "Pink Dai Mei", "Lady Picture", "Pipa Dew", "Snow Moon Yuan", ...... What kind of texts are these? The little monk thinks he has read a lot, why has he never heard of these classics? Wuxin asked curiously.

Seeing this, Zhang Fuling took out an ancient book from his arms and handed it to Wuxin, and said with a smile: "This is "The Legend of a Thousand Boats", and there are a few more I haven't brought with me, as long as you want to see it, I will give it to you one by one on the way to Wudang tomorrow." ”

"Thank you, Immortal Zhang." I didn't want to see Zhang Fuling so generous, and sincerely thanked him.

"You're welcome, your character is really the same as when Jue Se was young...... Zhang Fuling didn't finish speaking.

I saw that the unintentional monk who had just opened a page dropped the book on the ground, and muttered: "Amitabha, sin and sin ......"

Zhang Fuling picked up the book on the ground with a distressed look on his face and hurriedly dusted off the dust.

"It's the little monk who is rude." I had no intention of apologizing to Zhang Fuling.

"You haven't peeked at it?" Zhang Fuling stared at Wuxin with a suspicious expression.

Hearing Zhang Fuling's words, he unintentionally folded his hands and read sins in his mouth.

Seeing this, Zhang Fuling said with a look of pity: "You little monk is far less interesting than the little monk back then. ”

"Sin, sin."

……

Knowing that he was about to leave for Wudang tomorrow, Mu Qiuhuang didn't have time to make more arrangements, so he hurriedly returned to Wutong Garden to summon Chun Tao, Xia He, Qiu Shuang, and Dong Xue, and whispered to each of them.

Then I went to play with my little sister Mu Qiuming for more than an hour.

In the end, he rode alone to the Liujing River and found Su Xiaoxiao, I don't know what he had a secret conversation with Su Xiaoxiao? I only know that not long after Mu Qiuhuang left the Liujing River, the maid pothos beside Su Xiaoxiao changed into Su Xiaoxiao's appearance, and the real Su Xiaoxiao took advantage of the night to leave Yunzhou City alone.

When Mu Qiuhuang returned to the Hou Mansion with all the arrangements, it was already three o'clock, but Mu Qiuhuang did not return to Wutong Garden directly, but went straight to Mu Qingen's study.

Sure enough, the study, which was already dark on weekdays, was brightly lit today.

Seeing this, Mu Qiuhuang smiled and pushed the door in.

I saw that there were some food on the desk, and there were still three cold dishes such as red oil and ears, pickled cucumber in sauce, and braised yellow beef, but the remaining three dishes that night were replaced with sweet and sour pork ribs, boiled pork slices, charcoal-grilled lamb chops, and an extra bowl of rice, and the wine was replaced by tea.

Seeing this, Mu Qiuhuang's heart warmed, and he saluted Mu Qingen and said, "The child has seen his father. ”

"I haven't eaten yet! Eat first. Mu Qingen waved his hand.

"I really haven't had time to eat." Mu Qiuhuang answered, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and devoured them.

Mu Qingen saw that Mu Qiuhuang was eating sweetly, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Mu Qiuhuang, and advised: "Eat slowly, be careful of choking."

"Hmm..."Mu Qiuhuang replied vaguely, but his hands and mouth were not idle at all.

Mu Qingen smiled silently when she saw this, sat opposite and looked at Mu Qiuhuang quietly.

After a while, Mu Qiuhuang put down the dishes and chopsticks, picked up the teapot and poured another cup of tea and drank it.

Only then did he sigh with satisfaction and said, "Comfortable, my father is still good to me, and he knows how to leave me a supper." ”

Mu Qingen smiled when she heard this, and asked, "Are all arrangements made?" ”

"Well, it's already arranged."

Mu Qiuhuang said: "The child is going to Wudang Mountain, and after the sea of qi recovers, he is not going to go home, and plans to go directly to Qinlu?" ”

"It's up to you, but before that you can do so, you may have to go to the imperial capital first."

Mu Qingen took out a holy decree and handed it to Mu Qiuhuang, and continued: "The little emperor issued an order to summon the children of the princes to enter Beijing to celebrate together on this year's 'Shangri Festival', saying that it was to catch a glimpse of the young talents of Dayou......"

"Why?"

Mu Qiuhuang looked at Mu Qingen puzzled.

"This is actually not surprising, the new emperor has this will on the throne over the years, the little emperor just follows the ancestral system, in fact, this is just to meet the children of the princes, so that they can get to know each other and get close to each other...... So that it is good to examine the attitude between the princes, and then decide to praise that? Suppress that? The so-called imperial means are nothing more than that. Mu Qingen explained.

Mu Qiuhuang smashed his mouth and said, "Didn't there be a little emperor who summoned the princes to King Qin, and the princes shouldn't do it before?" The little emperor still dares to play this trick, isn't he afraid that the princes will refuse again? If this continues, the imperial power is really not majestic......"

Mu Qingen smiled slightly: "Although the world will be chaotic, there is no chaos yet, so the face that should be given to the little emperor on the bright side is still to be given?" Besides, last time King Qin, Xiliehou and I were ready to follow the order, but we didn't do it. ”

Mu Qiuhuang smiled when he heard this, and did not debunk Mu Qingen's words, and continued to ask: "If the little emperor thinks differently this time than in previous years, what if the princes' children are detained in Kyoto as hostages?" ”

"He didn't dare." Mu Qingen wrote lightly.

Although it is just three simple words, the implied weight in it is self-evident.

Mu Qiuhuang thought seriously for a while and reminded: "I know that the little emperor doesn't dare, but what if Xiahou Xuanba has this kind of thought? Whether this will is that the little emperor is following the ancestral system, or Xiahou Xuanba wants to take the opportunity to make trouble, it is impossible to say? Since the old lady passed away, he is now coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes? ”

"You really dare to say anything."

Although Mu Qingen said so, he didn't mean to blame, but looked at Mu Qiuhuang with relief and explained: "The little emperor doesn't dare, Xiahou Xuanba doesn't dare, it seems that he has more real power than the little emperor, but compared with the deep-rooted princes, he is actually more like a rootless Ping, the little emperor is not so much his puppet, but his courage, and this time I estimate that although the princes will not resist the order, but the children they should send are also insignificant people, so Xiahou Xuanba will not have this kind of thought." ”

Mu Qiuhuang was still full of doubts and said, "Then what is the meaning of his will?" In case several princes consulted with each other, chose to sacrifice the inconsequential group of children, and then raised an army under the pretext of raising an army...... Isn't he going to shoot himself in the foot? ”

Mu Qingen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Mu Qiuhuang's eyes and appreciated it more and more: "When you say this, you remind me...... I'm afraid that this time things are not as simple as I originally thought. ”

Mu Qiuhuang looked at Mu Qingen and was very puzzled.

Mu Qingen thought for a while and said: "Back then, Dongche Hou rebelled, Xiahou Xuanba led the army to fight with him, on the surface, Xiahou Xuanba lost more than 100,000, but in fact, this number has to be increased by at least 50,000, that is, the army of the DPRK and China lost at least half of it, so he has actually lost the capital to compete for the world, so this time he issued an order to announce that the princes' children enter Beijing, and Xiahou Xuanba is very likely to ......"

"Most likely, you want to choose the master?" Mu Qiuhuang and Mu Qingen said in unison.

Mu Qingen laughed and said, "Zhang Xianren is honest and doesn't deceive me!" If you have such a son, you deserve to be in Beiyu. ”

"Then what attitude does my father think I should have towards Xiahou Xuanba at that time, and what kind of promise should I make to him?" Mu Qiuhuang asked.

Mu Qingen thought seriously when he heard this, and muttered to himself after a while: "This is not in a hurry, this is just a guess from you and me...... If the Xiahou clan really has this kind of thought, I think it should be Xiahou Wenyuan who is really in charge? ”

"Xiahou Wenyuan?" Mu Qiuhuang was puzzled: "Isn't he Xiahou Xuanba's brother, and he relied on Xiahou Xuanba's relationship to enter the court?" ”

"No, you're wrong."

Mu Qingen seriously admonished him: "Huang'er, you remember never to despise any opponent. Especially for people like Xiahou Wenyuan, who have the ability to slaughter and assist, as the saying goes, 'Wenchen has one mouth, and the military general has three knives', you must pay attention to this kind of person from the bottom of your heart. ”

"The child remembers his father's teachings." Mu Qiuhuang nodded in response.

Mu Qingen continued to explain: "Xiahou Wenyuan is more than ten years younger than Xiahou Xuanba, in addition to being Xiahou Xuanba's clansman, he is also the proud disciple of the old lady Situ Changqing, note, it is a disciple and not a protégé......"

Mu Qingen reminded emphatically, and finally commented to Xiahou Wenyuan: "This is definitely a character who can seek the pattern of the world in the dynasty and change the situation in the field." ”

Hearing Mu Qingen focus on Xiahou Wenyuan, Mu Qiuhuang also nodded in response.

He knew that his father seemed to be peaceful, but in fact, he was very rebellious in his heart, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he had no spare son, and it could only show one problem that he could take it so seriously, that is, Xiahou Wenyuan was indeed terrible.

"Remember, child."

"But if this Xiahou Wenyuan is really as extraordinary as his father said, I'm afraid that Xiahou and his family may not be able to choose the master?" Mu Qiuhuang continued.

"Yes, you're right! I want to make it simple......" Mu Qingen frowned.

After a while, Mu Qingen said: "You go to Wudang Mountain first, and then I will let the ghosts, charms, dragons, and spirits secretly follow you...... This matter will be planned by me again, and then I will send a message to you. ”

"Yes, father." Mu Qingen nodded in response.
