CHAPTER XXXIX
A carriage drove into the capital at the dawn, Mu Jinshen slowly lifted the carriage curtain, looked at the streets that had gradually become busy, and sighed in his heart that he had finally come to the place where his mother and sister lived, hoping that he could live happily in the place where his mother and sister lived.
The carriage drove directly to the door of Si Kou's mansion, and in order not to attract the attention of others, Si Kou's family just waited in the mansion.
Mu Jinshen lifted the curtain, and when Steward Lin arrived in the front hall, as soon as he entered the front hall, he saw that Si Kou's family and the sixth prince were waiting there, he looked at this group of strangers, but there was an inexplicable warmth in his heart.
Si Kou Zhan looked at Mu Jinshen who was approaching him, and muttered in his mouth: "It's true, it's really like." The only impression Mu Jinshen had was that Si Kou Zhan was over, so he walked straight to him, lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt down directly and said, "Meet my uncle and aunt." Si Kouzhan immediately helped Mu Jinshen up and said, "Good boy, you have suffered, since you are back, you must be well." Si Kouzhan's wife also smiled kindly and said, "This child is really familiar, and the good child will live with peace of mind when he comes." Si Kouxi slowly walked towards Mu Jinshen, pulled him and said, "Your identity in the capital in the future will be a side branch of Si Kou Mansion, and your parents died and came to defect, and you will live in Si Kou Mansion in the future."
Mu Jinshen smiled and nodded. Si Kouyu stepped forward and said, "Si Dian, I'm Si Kouyu, you can call me eldest brother."
Mu Jinshen also saluted, and said with a smile: "The youngest and promising general in Tengxiao Country, please give me more advice in the future, eldest brother."
Si Kouqing also stepped forward and said, "I'm Si Kouqing, you can call me second brother."
Mu Jinshen returned with a smile: "You can be literate and martial, you are probably a rare talent in the court." Second brother, I hope to exchange some questions with you.
Not to be outdone, Si Kouchen waved his hand and said, "I, my name is Si Kouchen, and finally there is someone smaller than me in the house."
Mu Jinshen also replied: "Third brother, your temper is definitely the most lively in the house."
Si Kou Yu couldn't help but marvel at Mu Jinshen's understanding of the people in Si Kou's Mansion. Because everyone in Si Kou Mansion is tight-lipped to the outside world, not too many people know that there is one more person in Si Kou Mansion, in fact, as long as it has no impact on the career of everyone in the capital, no one should care about one more person or one less person in Si Kou Mansion. Several juniors finally got together, they all gathered in Si Kouxi's small study, chatting freely, Si Kouchen was particularly excited because of the newcomer at home, and kept chatting with Mu Jinshen. However, because he had a lot of homework and the teacher was extremely strict, he was called away by Steward Lin to see the teacher soon after he rested. Mu Jinshen looked at the dejected Si Kouchen and said, "What is the third brother learning, he is so full. Si Kouxi replied: "It's just some human ethics, riding a horse and shooting arrows or something." The children of the Si Ko family have to learn more after all. Mu Jinshen frowned, looked at Si Kouxi and said: "The children of the Si Kou family are really good, the eldest brother and the second brother do not rely on their uncle, they are eye-catching in the court and on the battlefield, coupled with this prominent family background, now my sister has the title of the sixth princess." I traveled all the way to the capital, and I often chatted with people I met by chance, and they always praised the Sikou Mansion, and the current dynasty is only a few words. "The study fell silent, and everyone knew very well that the current Sikou Mansion was really frighteningly successful.
Si Kouyu broke the silence: "Xi'er, the eldest brother is ready to hand over the military power, we have no dissenting intentions just to protect the family and defend the country, so as long as this military power is in my hands when we fight, it usually attracts suspicion." "Si Kouxi has always wanted to talk to his brother about these things, but he didn't have a good opportunity, and this time Mu Jinshen was really worried about it.
Lan Jing said in a deep voice: "I have been avoiding contact with government affairs since I was injured on the battlefield, and my father directly proposed to let me go back to the court after I married Xi'er. Si Kouxi has always been smart, she naturally knows the reason, she agrees with the eldest brother to let go of the military power, and the second brother's talent in handling government affairs She also told the second brother to restrain a little.
Mu Jinshen took a sip of tea and said, "Sister, I plan to lead the troops to force the palace at the end of spring next year."
Everyone present immediately raised their heads and looked at Mu Jinshen with a shocked expression, but the person on the throne just drank tea lightly, as if the words just now did not come out of his mouth. Si Kouxi was the first to come back to his senses, looked at him and slowly spoke, "Have you made up your mind?"
Mu Jinshen nodded, "I thought about this day a long time ago, but I didn't expect this day to come so early, half a year earlier than I expected."
What are your specific plans?
Mu Jinshen told Si Kouxi that he had been contacting the leaders of the tribes in the Biansai region and had already reached a consensus with them, plus many people in the Jianian Dynasty had already complained about Mu Xi, who had always been ambitious and eyeing some territories of Tengxiao Kingdom. In fact, the situation of the Carnival Dynasty has not been very good in recent years, and it has gradually declined since the death of the queen mother. Si Kouxi also understood how much effort Mu Xi had spent on the throne back then, he must not be willing to lose his prestige on this continent, and now even some small surrounding countries dare to provoke, how can he give up in his heart, and sooner or later he will send someone to sweep the border land. Mu Jinshen took out a letter and said to Si Kouxi: "This was sent to me by someone in the palace, sister, take a look."
Si Kouxi looked at the letter, his brows furrowed more and more, and the letter informed: Mu Xi is going to attack the border countries in the spring, and plans to go all the way north, which has the intention of sweeping the frontier. Si Kouxi almost died of anger when she saw it, many of the names of the realms that appeared on it, if she remembered correctly, these people had obeyed her aunt's leadership and helped Mu Xi ascend to the throne, even if the country was peaceful later, her aunt still had comfortable contacts with them, and the relationship was very close, how did it evolve to this day, and they turned against each other? Si Kouxi slapped the letter on the table, shaking the tea in the teacup, and reprimanded angrily: "These people were kind to the Jianian Dynasty back then, although my aunt also gave a lot of grace back then, but Mu Xi can't be ungrateful!" Lan Jing comforted Si Kouxi and said: "I have heard a little about the Jianian Dynasty in the early years, Mu Xi and my aunt's statecraft are different, I heard that Mu Xi didn't want to borrow the hands of those people back then, but my aunt insisted, Mu Xi was also convinced, and then there was a scene of support from all directions, if it weren't for your aunt's presence, Mu Xi would have attacked them a long time ago." Si Kouxi didn't expect this result, Si Kouyu quietly tentatively said: "If I heard me right, what you were just discussing was snatching the throne of the Carnival Dynasty?" His tone was full of suspicion.
Lan Jing smiled and said, "You heard it right, and your sister has been planning this matter for a long time, and it seems that she married me out of such a plan, in a vain attempt to count us all." Si Kouyu and Si Kouqing's faces darkened when they heard this, what a person Si Kouxi is who can observe words and feelings, she knows very well in her heart that the eldest brother and the second brother are angry.
She was a little embarrassed and said: "Big brother, second brother, I've always wanted to do this, my aunt has a nurturing grace for me, she was so sad when she left, the Carnival Dynasty is her hard work, but now it has been changed by Mu Xi into what it is today, I really can't bear to see it."
Si Kouqing shook his head and said: "Then you can't hide from us and say nothing, and even secretly prepare revenge, it is not easy to collect debts from such a big dynasty."
How dark can the power struggle in a country be, and is it something you can face alone?
We won't agree.
Si Kouxi understands that this time is not trivial, the reason why Mu Jinshen wants to say his plans in front of Si Kouxi's family is that he just doesn't want Si Kouxi to hide from her family, when everything is exposed, my sister is resolutely not allowed to have conflicts with his family, he has lost his dearest person, he doesn't want his sister to have a conflict with the closest person, so he deliberately mentioned this matter, he just wanted to find out what his sister's family thinks about it, if her family does not agree, he will not agree. Mu Jinshen saw this situation, and also understood everyone's attitude, he looked at Si Kouxi and said: "Sister, you can't protect me for a lifetime, you have done enough for me, I know that in fact, you have some undercover agents in the Jianian Dynasty, otherwise my life in the cold palace will not be just like this, I am afraid that I will not even be able to live, I always feel that someone is secretly protecting me."
Mother's revenge should also be avenged by me, it's really good that you can help me get here, I think my mother will definitely be very pleased, and at the same time, she won't want you to get involved in these throne disputes, so I'll take the next road by myself.
Si Kouxi would never agree to such a thing, she looked at Mu Jinshen with sharp eyes and said, "Don't you think, no matter what happens on the road ahead, I will definitely accompany you to the end."
Second brother, believe me, I won't let myself have trouble! Si Kouqing looked at Si Kouxi with complicated eyes, he always felt that when Si Kouxi came back, it was different from before, it turned out that she came back with such determination and will, she wanted to change the dynasty.
He has always understood that his sister has shown good military and political talents since she was a child, especially every time she leaves home and returns, it turns out that the person she has been accompanying is the legendary general queen of the Carnival Dynasty, and she must be inseparable from the teachings of that person to have such wisdom today, but it is too risky to be the enemy of a country in order to repay her kindness.
He looked at his eldest brother, looked at Lan Jing, and finally looked at his sister, even the eldest brother and his husband didn't stop him, what was he particularly good to say, smiled helplessly.
Si Kouyu saw all of Si Kouqing's expressions in his eyes, and some of the two brothers were clear even if they didn't say anything, he looked at Si Kouxi and said: "In the blink of an eye, I can't imagine that Xi'er has been able to take charge on her own, since you want to do it, as your brother, I will support you." In addition, the frontier of the Jianian Dynasty has not been peaceful recently, and there are complaints about them everywhere, and the Jianian Dynasty is also eyeing some of our territories, and we can't avoid going to war. Si Kouxi especially thanked her brother for his understanding and support, and Lan Jing smiled at her and nodded.
The five people in this study showed the world what it means to be a heroic boy on the battlefield a few months later.
