Chapter 741: The Imperial Expedition
There have been several years of fighting on the border, and in the past it was only the Ruma who had been driven out. And now it is time to flatten the boundaries of Ruma and turn it into the territory of the Great Beam.
It's not easy, of course, but it's a good idea to go out in the summer.
It stands to reason that after so long, there should always be news coming from the border, but now that the battle report has come, Mu Ling always feels very worried in his heart, so he can't help but ask.
Liang Chu pursed his lips, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes became deeper and deeper: "Ruan Fan led his troops deep into the snowy mountains, preparing to outflank him from the rear, but now he suddenly lost contact, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious." β
"Tang Qing is following him?" Mu Ling's color changed, but he still raised his own questions.
Liang Chu nodded, his expression serious.
Mu Ling sighed lightly and comforted: "Tangqing is from Luma, he should always know a little about the terrain of Luma, even if he goes deep into the snow mountain, it shouldn't be too difficult, so don't worry too much." β
Liang Chu nodded again, but the gloom between his eyebrows did not go down a little.
Mu Ling saw that his heart was becoming more and more uncomfortable, and he looked at him again and again, always feeling that he still had nothing to say. But this border war, in the end, is not something she can intervene in, so what if she asks now?
Trapped in this deep palace, she can't help much.
Liang Chu was relieved to see that she didn't ask any more. It's just that looking at her eyes, it is even more sad and restrictive.
The result of today's deliberations among the ministers is nothing more than that the imperial court will send another highly respected general over. This person does not have to be very good at leading troops to fight, but he must be able to boost morale.
It stands to reason that such a person is better to be a prince or a prince or something, and the more noble the status, the better.
But now there is only one prince in the royal family, what role can a child under the age of one play a role? Besides, Liang Yan himself is a prince, and there is no one else to choose except him.
But if the court does not take action this time, I am afraid that the war will be difficult to settle.
After thinking about it, Liang Chu felt that it was more appropriate to go by himself.
He is the emperor, and the imperial conquest has an extra deterrent in it. With the emperor present, the morale of the soldiers is needless to say.
But now that the royal family is empty, if Liang Chu is personally recruited, who will manage the court?
That's a real problem.
Liang Chu only had an idea about this matter, and did not mention it to Mu Ling.
And he obviously has something to hide, but he doesn't say a word, so he naturally can't hide it from Mu Ling's eyes.
She knew that it was for the war on the border, and she shouldn't know too much about the war, but his attitude still made Mu Ling feel worried, and she couldn't wait to open his head to see what he was thinking.
Thinking about it like this, Mu Ling felt very angry in his heart, but he didn't want to pay attention to him.
There was a strange atmosphere between the two for a while, which made the palace maids in the palace worried, but they didn't know how to dissuade them.
This has been the case for the past few days, Liang Chu wanted to talk to her, but when he saw her calm and indifferent expression, he stopped thinking again, and finally just sighed.
"Niangniang, you and the emperor have been angry for a while, why don't you go and take a soft one?" Cui Yan really felt sorry for her master, and finally couldn't help but speak.
Mu Ling ignored it and took care of Ren Cuiyan to groom her.
Cui Yan couldn't help sighing: "Today, the small kitchen has made a sweet soup to reduce the fire, and it is being frozen with well water here, why don't you send a bowl to the emperor?" β
Mu Ling's expression loosened slightly, and he pursed his lips.
"Recently, the border war is dangerous, and the emperor is also very busy, and when he comes back at night, he is still carefully serving his mother, I am afraid that I don't know how much I love you!" Cuiyan made persistent efforts.
Mu Ling turned his head and glared at her: "You can see it clearly!" Where is he cautious again, he obviously wants to ignore this palace for the rest of his life! β
Cui Yan couldn't help but cry out for the emperor in her heart, this ignorant person is clearly her own mother, and she also owes the emperor to a good temper, and she has endured it these days. If the emperor hears such words here, he doesn't know how sad he should be.
Mu Ling didn't bother to pay attention to it, and when he saw that he was almost dressed, he picked out a hairpin from the box and put it on, then he stood up and walked outside: "Where's the sweet soup?" β
It's a relent.
Although he said don't want to, he still feels distressed in the end.
Cui Yan hurriedly responded, and went to the small kitchen to bring the sweet soup: "Niangniang, but do you want the maid to send it over?" β
"That's it, I'll go to the palace myself." Mu Ling glanced at her, this little hoof was just joking with her, knowing that she would go over by herself, but he gave her the courage to say otherwise.
Cui Yan just snickered and hurriedly followed.
Liang Chu is a resolute master, no matter what he encounters, he can quickly come up with a countermeasure. And if he decides something, he will definitely arrange it quickly, and no one can change his mind.
At this time, there was tension in the imperial study, and more than a dozen ministers stood in the imperial study, and their expressions were not very good-looking.
Only Liang Chu looked at the excerpts leisurely, arranging things in an orderly manner, as if this group of ministers did not exist.
This really made the ministers feel very embarrassed, you said that they came to dissuade the emperor, and now they are here to put pressure on the emperor, but now it seems that the emperor treats them as air at all!
This...... It's really uncomfortable.
Xiao Ruizi ran in from outside, glanced at the ministers hurriedly, and said respectfully to Liang Chu: "Your Majesty, Mu Lao is waiting outside." β
"Hurry up!" Liang Chu's expression finally loosened a little, waved his hand and put down the fold, and sat upright waiting for Mu Lao to come in.
The expressions on the faces of the ministers changed, and when they saw who was coming, they changed color for a while: "Your Majesty, this is ...... This Mu Shangshu ......"
Isn't the person who came Mu Shangshu who has already sued the official and returned to his hometown to enjoy happiness!
Because Mu Shangshu is a military attachΓ©, even if he is over half a hundred years old, he still looks like he is in good spirits, and he has no tendency to be decadent at all.
If it weren't for the fact that Mu Ling was worried that the palace change would involve everyone in Shangshu Mansion, and insisted that Mu Shangshu return to his hometown, Mu Shangshu would not be a problem if he was an official for another twenty years.
Seeing Mu Shangshu again at this time, the ministers were really uncomfortable.
The emperor was thoughtful, and even Mu Shangshu was invited back.
"See the emperor." Mu Shangshu clasped his fists and saluted, neither humble nor arrogant.
Liang Chu hurriedly stepped forward and helped him out: "Shangshu doesn't need to be polite, you must know a little bit about this time when I asked you to return to the court, I'm afraid that the next few days will be hard for you." β
This is not only an old scholar who is loyal to the court, but also his father-in-law, so he naturally has respect in his heart.
Mu Shangshu's face was righteous and gave up.
