Chapter 16: Initiation

"Marshal, I've heard a rumor." Cheng Da looked at Mu Zhi, and stopped talking a little.

"What rumors?"

"At the beginning, the first emperor set up the crown prince, hesitated between the Qingwang and the princess of Changping, and had a secret conversation with the two respectively, and it is said that the Qingwang and the first emperor broke up unhappily."

Mu Zhi glanced at Cheng Da and said lightly: "This is not a rumor. ”

"Huh?"

"King Qing came out of the palace and sent me a letter, saying this, the old immortal let him do something to me, I died King Qing is the crown prince, he refused."

Otherwise, the original owner would not have thought of helping King Qing ascend to the throne with all his heart.

This is a real iron buddy.

Cheng Da and the others were shocked.

None of them knew about it, not even the plum blossoms.

"Marshal, the Green King even told you about this kind of thing?"

A light smile appeared on the corner of Mu Zhi's mouth: "Xiaoqing is a true and pure person, if you really regard a person as a friend, you will never do anything to be sorry for your friend." ”

"Qingwang is really a believer."

"It's not in vain that we have been supporting Qingwang for so many years."

After the emperor decided to pass on the throne to Princess Changping, he intended to completely abolish King Qing and demote him to a concubine, otherwise with King Qing's military exploits and prestige in the army, it would be easy to pose a threat to Princess Changping.

It was the exploits of the Vertical Arch Party that kept the Green King.

Later, Princess Changping also stood up, and King Qingxi was spared, but he was also sent to Qingzhou, and he could no longer interfere in the central affairs.

Over the years, Qingwang has been impeached many times, and the empress's attitude towards Qingwang is also very ambiguous. If the empress really wanted to protect the green king, the green king would not be impeached one after another.

If it weren't for the bigwigs of the Vertical Gong Party thinking about the old feelings, whether King Qing could be his soil emperor in Qingzhou is really two words.

Song Hui's father realized one thing: "Marshal, King Qing did not qualify for the crown prince because he refused to do anything to you, so Your Majesty ......"

"She apparently agreed."

It's a plain deal.

Meihua Chengda didn't understand.

"Since the Qingwang has already told you about this, you haven't taken any precautions?"

A touch of self-deprecation appeared on Mu Zhi's face: "I was so stupid back then, I thought that even Xiaoqing refused, how could she do it to me?" ”

Everyone in the audience looked at each other.

That's a ......

"I'm ashamed to say it, but now that I think about it, even Li Zhongyi persuaded me that it was better to rebel and become the emperor myself, and then I scolded him."

Makiyuki also wanted to scold the original owner.

You weren't betrayed, you were stupid to death by yourself.

"Marshal, you are also a man of the utmost affection." Plum Blossom said seriously.

Cheng Da nodded: "Although the marshal is ruthless when he slaughters the demons, he is always soft on his own people. But it is precisely because of this that I am willing to follow the marshal. ”

Song Hui's father was also completely impressed: "The marshal is indeed the marshal, and you have indeed done your duty to Your Majesty." ”

Makiyuki: "......"

Although the words are all good, why does it sound so awkward.

Dare to be stupid and receive allegiance.

"Marshal, since King Qing is his own person, you might as well let him join in. With the presence of the Green King, the garrison outside the city may not be a problem. At the beginning in the army, the prestige of King Qing was still above Princess Changping, if he was willing to ascend to the heights, the British Duke would also think twice. ”

After all, if the Qing King is willing to stand up against the empress, it will be an internal contradiction in the royal family.

Everyone has the same surname, and it doesn't matter if they don't participate in ginseng.

But if it's just Muzhi doing it to the empress, then if they don't help the empress, it is equivalent to treason, and they don't even have a fig leaf.

This suggestion was reasonable, but Mu Zhi refused: "Xiaoqing's temperament, it's okay to be a general, but it's not okay to be an emperor." ”

"Marshal, how can you think so?"

"Xiaoqing's temperament is too straight, and when he is the emperor, he will be led by the nose."

Although Mu Zhi wants to take revenge on the empress, he still affirms the empress as a person: "If you want to be the emperor, you really have to be like the empress." Of course, her limitations are the pattern and vision, which are determined by the times. In comparison, Xiaoqing is not as good as her. ”

With the IQ of the Qing King, he will definitely be played with by a group of high-IQ ministers.

And then suffocate yourself to death.

It's not that you can do it if you want the emperor to work hard and forge ahead, who cares about you without some imperial means.

The original owner's wishful thinking is particularly ridiculous in Mu Zhi's opinion, do you really think that the emperor only needs to be good?

None of the people present were stupid Bai Tian, and they quickly understood Muzhi's words.

Song Hui's father's face was a little ugly, but he also agreed: "What the marshal said makes sense, Qingwang Ning's unbending temperament is indeed not suitable for being an emperor." ”

"So what do we do? Marshal, do you want to be emperor? Cheng Da looked at Mu Zhi: "It's not that I don't think it's okay, but if you change the dynasty, I'm afraid it will be very difficult." ”

He has long been determined to do with Mu Zhi, and changing the dynasty is also a matter of Mu Zhi's words.

However, what Mu Zhi revealed in the letter before meant that he had no ambitions, and most likely wanted to support Qingwang as the emperor.

I didn't expect to change my mind now.

Cheng Da couldn't keep up with Muzhi's rhythm.

Mu Zhi smiled: "During the vertical arch war, there was no emperor in the world, and the world was not running very well?" ”

"How can that be the same?"

"Why can't it be the same?" Mu Zhi asked rhetorically: "Actually, it's just because you haven't experienced the days without an emperor on your head that it feels incredible. If you really experience it, you will find that the profession of emperor is really not particularly necessary. ”

"If you don't believe me, we'll give it a try."

Everyone looked at Makiyuki in shock.

They didn't understand Makiyuki's mind until this moment.

"Marshal, you ...... Do you want to depose the Emperor? ”

Mu Zhi nodded: "I do think that the profession of emperor can disappear in the long river of history." ”

In the last world, he just managed to do a vote.

Although the methods are different, in fact, they have the same goal, and Mu Zhi does not mind another vote.

Everyone else was a little unacceptable.

"Wouldn't that be too radical?"

"It's okay to abolish the emperor, just abolish the emperor, I'm afraid everyone in the world will oppose it."

Mu Zhi waved his hand: "You overestimate the people of the world, there is one less person on the top of your head, it's too late for everyone to be happy, who will object?" Besides, ordinary people don't really care about this at all. ”

"How could it not be cared?" Song Hui's father could not accept Muzhi's statement.

Mu Zhi said lightly: "What ordinary people care about is what to eat for the next meal, whether this year's grain harvest can be good, and whether their children can have a good life." The emperor was too far away for them. ”

Song Hui's father thought carefully about Mu Zhi's words.

Then I found out that what the marshal said was indeed true.

He had come from the countryside before and knew the situation in the countryside very well.

In the eyes of many peasants, the emperor was a symbol.

Except when it came to paying taxes, they were very indifferent to the emperor in most other cases.

The emperor's quality and badness make little difference to them.

Even if there is a change of dynasty, the peasants are still peasants.

Expecting them to fight back to defend the emperor is really too much to think about.

Most ordinary people just accept the fact of changing the dynasty very ordinarily, and then silently expect that the new emperor is a wise monarch who can reduce the world's taxes.

"The emperor is hereditary and has supreme power. So once a fool or a villain is put on the stall, the people of the world will suffer, and the uncertainty is too great. Rather than keep such a destabilizing factor, it is better to abolish it, at least the term of office of ministers has a limit and can be replaced. ”

"One less Son of Heaven on his head is also a great thing for the courtiers, at least they won't worry about losing their heads suddenly, and the power in their hands will increase. Don't tell me that you were born to be a minion? ”

Plum blossom Zhengse said: "Marshal, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be this official at all." ”

"What about you?"

Cheng Da and Song Hui's father glanced at each other.

Song Hui's father is a little old-fashioned, and he still can't understand Mu Zhi's thoughts very well.

But Cheng Da and the others quickly changed their thinking: "Marshal, are you going out of the mountain?" ”

Hearing them say this, Song Hui's father also came back to his senses and looked at Mu Zhi expectantly.

If Muzhi wants to go out of the mountain, even if he is not the emperor, he will definitely have the authority of the emperor.

And with the prestige and talent of the pastor, they have no opinion.

Makiyuki smiled slightly, did not admit it, and did not deny it.

Actually, he won't go out of the mountain.

The body does not allow it.

If he had followed the system, he might have been cured by the system.

But now, Makiyuki has directly shielded the system, and everything is on his own.

Then his body is estimated to be only able to support the empress.

The limit of this body is approaching, and it cannot be reversed by human beings, and it can only rely on bugs like the system.

It's a pity that Makiyuki is too lazy to play the system.

Damn it.

Just finish the main quest.

As for these people, they always have to grow.

Give them thousands of miles and work hard for themselves.

It's better to be a human being than a dog to others, and Muzhi doesn't feel like he's harming them.

……

Muzhi was not prepared to involve the Green King.

For him, this revenge is not lacking in Qingwang, a prince who is basically half-useless.

But he didn't go to look for the Qingwang, but the Qingwang took the initiative to come to the capital.

And as soon as he came, he entered the palace angrily, obviously to make trouble.

When Bai Xiaosheng reported the news to Mu Zhi, Mu Zhi felt angry and funny: "How long has Xiaoqing been in the palace?" ”

No wonder this guy is an iron buddy with the original owner.

It's just as stupid.

Bai Xiaosheng replied respectfully: "For an hour, there was news from Meihua, the Qing King and the Empress were tense, and the atmosphere was very tense. ”

Nonsense.

It's no wonder if you're not nervous.

Mu Zhi closed his eyes and knew what King Qing had entered the palace for.

He wasn't wrong.

Bai Xiaosheng took the initiative to ask Mu Zhi: "Marshal, help Qingwang, he is also coming out for me, for Song Mu, and for you." ”

"I know."

It's pretty brainless though.

But this heart is more sincere than everyone else.

Over the years, Bai Xiaosheng has traveled all over the world on his face, and Qingwang has sent people to contact Bai Xiaosheng, asking him to inquire about the real cause of death of the original owner.

On the premise that everyone else is wise enough to protect their lives, Qingwang dared to mention this matter in the face of the world's disapproval, and even took the initiative to send someone to investigate.

This is probably the friendship between men and men.

Compared with the relationship between the original owner and the empress, the relationship between men and women is obviously much deeper.

And this time, although Qingwang was far away in Qingzhou, he obviously heard the ups and downs of the capital.

Seeing that the empress seemed to be about to tear her face, King Qing couldn't sit still, and rushed to the capital with the dignity of a prince to stand up for Bai Xiaosheng and Song Hui's father.

It's just that his appearance will only help more and more.

Qingwang is still the same as before, not politically sensitive at all.

"Xiaoqing doesn't come forward, you and Song Hui's father don't seem to be threatening, and the empress may not necessarily kill you. But Xiaoqing stood up, she was simply claiming the mastermind behind the scenes, and it was no wonder that the empress didn't have murderous intentions. ”

Bai Xiaosheng also understands this truth: "This is the preciousness of the Green King. ”

"Yes, such a stupid person, isn't the minister looking forward to him becoming the emperor, and I also hope that such a person will be in charge."

With a little brain, you can play with this silly white sweetness in applause.

Bai Xiaosheng didn't dare to answer.

He is not ready to intervene in the court, from a neutral point of view, he admires people like Qingwang, but he also admits that what Mu Zhi said is very reasonable, when a person like Qingwang becomes an emperor, the courtiers will definitely be happy.

It's really well designed.

Dig a pit without being instigated by others, and the Qingwang himself jumped.

Like this time.

Muzhi didn't want to pit him at all, what Makizhi wanted to pit was the empress.

couldn't stand it, and the Qingwang ran out to claim it by himself.

"Why does Xiaoqing think the empress will listen to him?" Makiyuki was curious about this question.

Bai Xiaosheng has already found out the reason: "King Qing brought his garrison outside the city. ”

Makiyuki was shocked.

Really shocked.

"Is Xiaoqing so tiger now?"

It is already a big crime for a vassal king to enter Beijing without an edict, and he still brings his soldiers and horses.

Isn't this looking for death?

But Bai Xiaosheng explained: "Marshal, Qingwang really brought a lot of people this time. ”

"How many people are there?"

"The Qing King's soldiers and horses have not betrayed him in the past, and the heroes in your army have not forgotten you all these years." Bai Xiaosheng said in a deep voice.

Makiyuki fell silent for a moment.

"Marshal, the empress ascended the throne, you were rumored to have passed away, and many of the soldiers in the army who were loyal to you spontaneously returned to the major generals, and more than half of them liked the green king, but it was not visible, and the young king had not been exposed for so many years.

This time, Qingwang took out all the hole cards, which really surprised many people. ”

Isn't it?

Makiyuki was also shocked.

"Xiaoqing...... His temperament is no wonder he can mix so openly in the army. ”

The Green King is suitable for mixed armies.

He was a natural general and brought his own charisma in the army.

"Xiaoqing must be protected, go and ask Cheng Da if they are ready? Forget it, don't ask. ”

Makiyuki got up directly and began to issue orders: "Launch." ”

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Mu Zhi in amazement.

Originally, he just wanted the marshal to keep the Qingwang, but he didn't say that the marshal would launch it now.

"Marshal, are you in a hurry?"

"Don't wait, it's my people who control the palace, it's my people who control the capital, and now half of my people are outside the capital, I'm not reckless to go over, I'm sorry for this kind of big advantage."
