Chapter 61: The City is Full of Storms
Emperor Yu walked into the carriage outside the Flower Couple's Courtyard, and the carriage slowly moved in the direction of the palace.
In the carriage, Fu Bo bowed his head and knelt down to Emperor Yu to say goodbye: "The old slave greets the emperor!"
Emperor Yu picked up Fu Bo and said, "Fu Bo, you are also an old man by my side, excuse me." ”
Fu Bo hurriedly stood up and stood on both sides of the carriage, and Emperor Yu asked, "After Mu Bai entered the capital, what was the movement?"
Fu Bo replied respectfully: "The people of the eldest prince have already made some moves, and when Mu Bai was taking a bath, the maid over there went to seduce him. ”
After hearing this, Emperor Yu asked with interest, "Oh, how did Mu Bai react?"
Fu Bo replied: "Mu Bai let the maid out, and the old slave has already disposed of the maid and replaced it with a maid from the other eldest prince's side. ”
After hearing this, Emperor Yu knocked on the edge of the table and asked Fu Bo: "It seems that Mu Bai is not very interested in women, do you think that if I give Mu Bai a great fortune, will he be tempted?"
Fu Bo lowered his head and said: "What Mu Bai's temperament is, the old slave doesn't know for the time being, so I can't guess whether Mu Bai will be tempted." ”
Emperor Yu casually peeled an orange and asked Fu Bo, "Is there any movement on the second side?"
Fu Bo replied: "The maid on the second prince's side has not moved for the time being, but when Mu Bai entered the capital today, the second prince and the eldest prince watched from the city wall. ”
Emperor Yu evenly placed the oranges on the table into three piles, and said slowly: "Since Chang'an entered Confucianism, most of the authority of Yu State has been abandoned, and it seems that it no longer seems to care about the power of Yu State.
After thinking for a while, Fu Bo said tentatively: "The old slave thinks that His Majesty the Third Prince is just sending friends, His Majesty the Great Prince and His Majesty the Second Prince should not pay too much attention to this matter, but they are just 、、、、."
Emperor Yu asked, "Just what? ”
Fauber took a deep breath and said, "It's just that the movement of the Wind Chaser seems to be too big. ”
Emperor Yu laughed and said: "I specially arranged the wind-chasing cavalry, I just want the wind-chasing cavalry to make the movement bigger." ”
Fu Bo hurriedly knelt down and said, "The old slave is guilty!"
Emperor Yu helped Fu Bo up and said: "Since I said to you, I won't blame you, those relatives on the boss's side have controlled the financial power of Yu for many years, and my father-in-law is even more in control of the treasury, originally with Chang'an's prestige in Yu State, I will hand over the throne to him in the future, and he can also suppress those gate valve families, but now Chang'an has no intention of managing everything in Yu State, and no one can suppress those gate valve families." Do you want me to hand over the throne to the boss? In that case, the Yu Kingdom will become a puppet of the gate valve forces, how can I hand over the Mu family to the gate valve family!"
Fu Bo asked: "But the emperor, even Mu Bai can't affect all aspects of the Yu Kingdom." ”
Emperor Yu whiskered and said: "He can't influence, but Chang'an can, I want everyone in Yu to know that Mu Bai is the spokesperson of Chang'an, then Mu Bai is in the whirlpool of power in Yu, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, whether he is the spokesperson of Chang'an or not, as long as all forces think that he is the spokesperson of Chang'an, then he has to be." ”
Fu Bo pondered for a moment and said, "However, as far as the old slave knows, Mu Bai was a small fisherman in a small fishing village whose parents died early, and I am afraid that he will not last long in this treacherous power struggle. ”
Emperor Yu ate the three piles of oranges in front of him one by one, and said, "That's why I went to see him, and I found that the whole Mubai was very similar to Chang'an, and maybe it could create a miracle that surprised me." And you need to help Mu Bai well, and I will arrange it over there for the Wind Chasing Iron Rider. ”
Fu Bo bowed his head and said, "The old slave obeys the emperor's edict!" With that, Fu Bo quietly left the carriage.
The carriage slowly drove into the palace, and Emperor Yu got down from the carriage, looked at the sunset on the horizon and muttered: "Chang'an, after you leave, where will the country of Yu go?" I have cultivated you for so long, can you bear to abandon Yuguo and your father like this?"
After Mu Bai said goodbye to Emperor Yu, he continued to watch the strange flowers and plants in the courtyard, and it was not until after dusk that Mu Bai reluctantly left the courtyard.
Fu Bo had already prepared dinner for Mu Bai, and a table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas was set up.
Mu Bai looked at the table full of delicacies of the mountains and seas in front of him in surprise, and said to Fu Bo: "Fu Bo, you grew up in the countryside since you were a child, and you are not very picky about food, you just prepare some things casually, don't make such a big fuss." ”
Fu Bo said with a smile: "Mr. Mu is not strange, Mr. Mu came to the Flower Couple's Courtyard for the first time, I don't know Mr. Taste, so I prepared some, Mr. Mu just picked up what he liked to eat." ”
The corners of Mu Bai's mouth twitched, and he said with a smile: "Next time, you must not spend so much, I don't know how to repay the favor to the third prince in the future." ”
Fu Bo instructed the maid to prepare the dishes and chopsticks, and said: "It's okay, this is the general hospitality dinner, you can invite His Majesty the Third Prince to the restaurant for a meal in the future." ”
Mu Bai exclaimed: "The royal standard is really extraordinary. ”
After Mu Bai finished dinner, Fu Bo took a set of clothes and handed it to Mu Bai, and said: "All the disciples of the academy can enjoy the treatment of the three products of Yuguo, yesterday the emperor saw that Mr. was heroic and extraordinary, and Mr. Tefeng was the commander of the three products, which is Mr.'s official mansion and waist card." ”
Mu Bai hurriedly excused himself and said, "I have no intention of being an official in Yu State, and I am about to leave Yu Country to go to Dahe Academy." ”
Fu Bo explained with a smile: "Sir, rest assured, the commander of the three products is just a fictitious title, and the commander of the capital is the official position of managing the wind chasing iron cavalry, since ancient times, the wind chasing iron cavalry has been under the command of the royal family, and the emperor awarded Mr. the commander of the three products just to show respect to the Confucian disciples." Moreover, General Cao Tieyi has already left the capital for military affairs, so it is better for Mr. to stay in the capital for a few more days. ”
Mu Bai accepted the official uniform and waist card, and said in surprise: "General Cao has left the capital, then I can only go directly to Dahe Academy." ”
Fu Bo hurriedly said: "It's not a big deal, it is estimated that it will be three or five days, Mr. Mu might as well stay in the capital of Yu for three or five days." In the past few days, the old slave can also take you to enjoy the scenery of the capital, and the friendship of some landlords for the three princes. ”
Mu Bai breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and said: "Three or five days is fine, it's a shame to say, General Cao is afraid that he has delayed a lot of military affairs in order to pick me up." ”
Fu Bo nodded and said, "Even so, General Cao is a man in the army, and the soldiers are heavily ordered. General Cao will definitely send Mr. out of the border of Yuguo, and please don't let General Cao disobey the military order. ”
After hearing this, Mu Bai said embarrassedly: "That's natural, General Cao was also injured for me along the way, I'll wait for General Cao in the capital." ”
Fu Bo nodded and arranged for the maid to serve Mu Bai to rest.
At this time, the undercurrent of the capital of Yu was surging, and a stream of news that Mu Bai was the spokesperson of Mu Chang'an, the third prince, rose out of nowhere overnight and swept the entire capital of Yu.
In the mansion of Sun Wenyao, the head of the household department, the eldest prince Mu Changkong smiled and said to his grandfather, Sun Wenyao: "Grandfather, this is also the wind blowing from nowhere, it is ridiculous to say that Mu Bai is the spokesperson of the third brother." I have already found out that Mu Bai is the third brother's junior brother, and the third brother simply sent someone to escort the junior brother, and they have no such relationship at all. ”
The eldest grandson Wenyao sat on the seat and said: "Of course I know that Mu Bai has nothing to do with the three princes, but after today, the people of Yu Kingdom will not think so, they will think that the three princes they have high hopes for are planning to come back, and the old departments of the three princes in the capital will ignite hope again. We don't believe it, but people all over the world believe it, under the general trend of the world, that Mu Bai is afraid that he will come to the cusp of the power of Yuguo. ”
When the eldest prince Mu Changkong heard this, he groaned for a while and said, "It's so troublesome." It's better for us to kill this Mu Bai, as long as Mu Bai dies, then this rumor will be meaningless. However, the identity of a Confucian disciple is a bit tricky, and we have to do it cleanly. ”
The eldest grandson Wenyao nodded, took a sip of tea from the teacup, and said, "This matter needs to be done as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”
The eldest prince Mu Changkong patted his chest full of jewels and said, "Don't worry, grandfather." I'll make Mu Bai disappear tomorrow. ”
