Chapter 67
After a while, the group approached, and Jiang Zhixuan got out of the sedan chair outside the Yimen and was helped by the maid to enter the main hall; after saluting the people present, she sat in the position that Mrs. Jiang arranged for her to be close to the head of the Wujun monarch.
Seeing that she sat down and Mo Ziling raised a spoon to eat, everyone during the banquet also raised a spoon; after three rounds of drinking, Mo Ziling thanked Mrs. Jiang for her timely help in solving the matter of spring ploughing in Beifeng, and Mrs. Jiang hurriedly excused herself, saying that she should still run an errand for the monarch of Wujun with this old bone; and asked Jiang Qianhan about handling political affairs in Beifeng for a year, but he was still handy?
Mo Ziling Zhengse said to Mrs. Jiang: "Brother Jiang is really the dragon and phoenix among the people, and he is very skilled in handling government affairs; if there is no assistance from Brother Jiang, it is impossible for me to govern Beifeng safely." Speaking of which, I wonder what the old lady thinks about Brother Jiang's lifelong events?"
Speaking of Jiang Qianhan's marriage, Mrs. Jiang also has a headache: with the status of the Jiang family, Jiang Qianhan is the next patriarch, and she could have been picked at will in the Wangji family, but now Jiang Qianhan is the Sima of Beifeng, and he wants to live in Yongdu all the year round, and which family is willing to marry his own daughter and suffer from lovesickness?
Seeing the embarrassed appearance of the old lady Jiang, Mo Ziling said: "If the old lady can trust me, Brother Jiang's marriage will be arranged by me; Although there are still two years to go, he is steady and generous, acting neatly and decisively, and he is my right hand with Brother Jiang, and he will have a knighthood in less than two years, and he respects Brother Jiang. What does the old lady think?"
Jiang Siyuan, who was on the side, hurriedly asked, "What the monarch said is the same General Li who came to transfer seeds the day before yesterday?"
Mo Ziling should be, Old Madam Jiang and Jiang Siyuan exchanged glances and spoke: "Han'er's marriage can be bothered by the monarch, I am really grateful." β
With a chuckle, Mo Ziling said loudly: "This monarch is also thinking of Brother Jiang's hard work, and after my wedding, I spend half of my time in the royal capital every year, but I am afraid that Brother Jiang will settle in Yongdu; β
Seeing that everyone at the banquet was no longer restrained, Mo Ziling exchanged a few words with the patriarch of the Xuanyuan clan and then looked at the people present and said: "I think you are also wondering, how could this monarch leave for the Jiang clan half a day in advance to disturb the Jiang clan, and also invited several important members of the Xuanyuan clan; Beifeng has been deeply helped by the Jiang clan and the Xuanyuan clan since the day I took over, and my Mo Ziling has also given back a lot; if we have a cooperation relationship like this, I am afraid that it will no longer be able to distinguish it, then this war will inevitably require the two major families to raise military funds for me, and I will also repay the two families as before; in addition, I know that what your clan wants most is to enter the court, so that you can not be ridiculed by the scholars; you can select some children from the clan who want to win the war to see me tomorrow morning, I will select some of them to enter the Beifeng military with me, whether they can win a war merit and enter the court depends on their own creationγ β
After listening to her words, the Jiang clan and the Xuanyuan clan were a little unconvinced of what they had heard, but they were convinced that what she said was true when she sat there solemnly; for hundreds of years, since the founding of Dayue, the contradictions between the clan and the Shi clan could not be eliminated. The scholars entered the court but were noble, and the clan had wealth but no status. The Jiang clan was rewarded by the Wujun monarch, and Jiang Qianhan and Jiang Siyuan entered the court one after another, and their actions were no longer as stagnant as before, and the Xuanyuan clan had already looked red. Today's monarch can promise that as long as the children of his clan can work harder, the day when they want to come out is not far away.
After the banquet, Mo Ziling negotiated with the patriarchs of the two clans alone on how to transport military funds and ordered them to retreat, leaving only Jiang Zhixuan to accompany her to talk; After finishing it, he whispered in her ear again, and said that he had arranged for Mrs. Yu's niece to go to Moziyan's bed, and asked her to see the opportunity to spread rumors, so as not to send people to Mo Shining to disturb their lives.
Jiang Zhixuan didn't expect her to tell herself such an embarrassing thing, and her face couldn't help but turn red; Mo Ziling looked at her and said, "I really told you this when you were my sister-in-law, think about you and Brother Qin Se and Ming, if you run out of such a person, can you feel comfortable? Instead of fighting openly and secretly in the back house then, why don't you solve it now so that Brother won't misunderstand you then." β
Hearing her say this, Jiang Zhixuan nodded, knowing that she was worried that she and the prince of Xiyue were not opponents of the Xiyue royal family, and asked her after a moment of silence: "Since the martial monarch agrees with the prince to favor me alone, and I think I am also looking forward to the life of a couple for the rest of my life, don't you mind the people in Your Majesty's harem?"
Mo Ziling was silent for a long time and then spoke softly: "The world has the law of both worlds, and if you make a choice, you must bear the consequences and responsibilities of your choice. Nothing to mind or not......"
Jiang Zhixuan didn't hear what she said clearly, but when she wanted to refine Mo Ziling, she didn't speak anymore, and only silently looked at the golden silk tuanfeng on her neckline.
The next day, Mo Ziling got up early, Jiang Zhixuan accompanied her to the conference hall, Jiang and Xuanyuan were waiting in the hall, and two rows of young men were waiting outside the conference hall; Mo Ziling's personal guard captain took a few people to check their roots and bones one by one, and when they saw Mo Ziling approaching, the two rows of men lined up and watched: This is the world-famous martial monarch, and at the age of teens, he is the lord of the princes of a country! As long as he has the opportunity, he should also make military achievements, and he can also raise his eyebrows in the family.
Thirty young men were selected, and the captain of the guard led them into the battalions, and after breakfast, they set off for Yongdu.
Before leaving the gate of Wangji, Mo Ziling was stopped by a team of people, looking at Han Fang in front of him, Mo Ziling raised his eyebrows and asked, "I don't know why Senior Brother came to stop me?"
Han Fang immediately asked her: "When did Ah Ling get so separated from me, and he didn't say a word to his senior brother when he returned to Beifeng." β
Mo Ziling laughed: "I was in a hurry to leave and didn't say goodbye to anyone, senior brother stopped me at this time, could it be that Ah Lingli was not careful?"
"Queen Nanchen saw that the Monarch of Wujun killed King Nanchen with her own eyes, this happened in broad daylight, and the senior brother could only come and ask Ah Ling to make it clear. Han let go of his hand, and several people behind him hurriedly stepped forward to surround Mo Ziling's body.
Mo Ziling asked suspiciously: "Didn't King Nanchen just leave for Nanchen today, why did he appear at this hour? and he was assassinated? Besides, I stayed at the Jiang family's mansion yesterday evening, and I left directly from there today, and I didn't see King Nanchen and his party, so how can I kill him?"
Han Fang replied: "It was Queen Nan Chen who saw it with her own eyes, the monarch of Wujun was dressed in red, killed Queen Nan Chen with a soft sword at his waist, and rushed towards the gate of Wang Ji. I am in charge of the Tingwei Mansion, and since there has been a murder, I can only ask Ah Ling to go back to the Tingwei Mansion to understand the situation, after all, the deceased is the king of Nanchen, and it should not be underestimated, right?"
The two teams of people were in a stalemate, and two teams of people and horses came, walking in front was Su Cangming, with a heavy grief on his face, and behind was Jiang's secret guard carrying a sedan chair, and when he got closer, one person came down from it was Jiang Zhixuan.
Su Cangming dismounted and walked to Mo Ziling and asked her in a deep voice, "Ah Ling, why did you want to kill my father?"
Mo Ziling raised his voice and asked, "Yes, why did I kill King Nan Chen? Is it King Nan Chen who blocked my way to promotion? Or is the wealth in the hands of King Nan Chen that I covet it? Can Queen Nan Chen confirm that I killed someone? Just wearing a red coat to say that it is me Mo Ziling who killed people is too arbitrary, right?"
Su Cangming didn't believe that it was Mo Ziling who killed her father, because she really had no motive; in terms of territory, Nanchen was only half of Beifeng, and in terms of gold and silver, Ah Ling's cooperation with Zhao Shuo, the Jiang family, and the Xuanyuan clan had already become rich in the world; besides, Ah Ling was still in the imperial study yesterday to remind herself to return to Nanchen as soon as possible to set up defenses, so what reason did she have to do it to her father? But the queen mother obviously saw that it was a woman dressed in red, and she also used a soft sword at her waist, and only Mo Ziling could match the time and place.
Looking up at the weather in the northwest, Mo Ziling said to Jiang Zhixuan: "Ah Xuan, I think you came here for this, right? There is a vision in the sky, I am worried that there will be something wrong with Brother Jiang of Beifeng, I will leave first, you and Lord Han and Su Shizi will explain in detail the reason why I am not at the scene." β
After finishing speaking, he looked at Su Cangming and said, "Su Shizi, have you heard that the king of Xiyue returned to Xiyue with Wang Ji Mo Ziyao yesterday and was robbed in Wangji?
Glancing at Han Fang again, Mo Ziling smiled lightly, beat the horse and set off, and a thousand guards followed behind her, like wolf smoke rolling away. Han Fang knew that he couldn't stop Mo Ziling, so he looked back at Jiang Zhixuan hatefully and said that he was troubled, please explain it to Miss Jiang.
Jiang Zhixuan raised a handkerchief in her hand, which was a thin white stone; she said softly that the Jiang family's mansion was protected from moisture and snakes and insects, and the house was made of white stones except for the blue brick floor; and just now the Wujun monarch could clearly see that the soles of her boots were this kind of white stones, and it was said that the assassination site of King Nanchen was at the gate of Wangji City, which was full of loess and stains.
Su Cangming couldn't help but look at Han Fang and said, "According to Ah Ling, it was the person who robbed Mo Ziyao who killed my father?" But who saved Mo Ziyao, and we don't know what this person wants to do with her; β
Han Fang squinted at Mo Ziling who was far away, and when he heard Su Cangming say this, he hurriedly responded, and said that he would spare no effort to track down the real culprit, but how should Queen Nanchen explain there, she still insisted that it was the Martial Monarch who killed King Nanchen.
Jiang Zhixuan hesitated for a moment and then said to Su Cangming, "Please also ask the prince to explain this matter clearly in front of the queen, I suspect that someone must want to destroy the relationship between the monarch of Wujun and Nan Chen, so as to facilitate the interests of the fisherman; β
Han Fang raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard her say this, Su Cangming nodded and hurried back to the royal capital to deal with the affairs of Queen Nanchen.
