Liang Sicheng just thought about it, and he was even more excited, and responded with a smile: "Childe said yes." ”

After a pause, Liang Sicheng said again: "Son, my mother is already in her prime, and she is not suitable for a long journey. ”

The main purpose of taking his eldest son to the south was to let him have some training, after all, the Liang family also had to have a successor.

Not only the Liang family, but also the Southern Border Army......

Liang Sicheng added: "The last general is at this age, and it is still necessary to take advantage of the energy to let the small ones below practice in the past few years." ”

In the past few years of the battle with Nanhuai, the southern army has lost a lot of backbones, and the current priority is to promote the younger generation, so that they can gradually take on the big responsibility, so as to live up to Mu Yan's trust in him, but also to lay a solid foundation for Dasheng, even if there are barbarians who dare to covet the southern border in the future, Dasheng will not be useless!

"Just let it go." Mu Yan said with a smile, "Liang Sicheng, you have worked hard all the way, go back and rest early today!" ”

"......" Liang Sicheng was about to respond, but when the words came to his mouth, he remembered another thing, and his face showed a little desire to speak.

Mu Yan seemed to see his hesitation, and said bluntly: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly." ”

Liang Sicheng's expression became more complicated, he clenched his fists, and still asked, "Childe, the eldest daughter of the last general committed suicide?" ”

Three years ago, when Mu Jinfan's biological mother Liang committed suicide, Liang Sicheng was far away in the south, and he was a subordinate, and he was controlled by others everywhere, and the news was naturally blocked, and when he learned the news of his eldest daughter's surrender, it was already four months after the incident.

At that time, he was sad, heartbroken, and blamed himself, and his family was all affected by him.

However, even if he was given another chance to make a choice, he could only choose the lives of tens of thousands of people in Changxu City, and he could only come to Jiuquan in the future and make amends with his poor daughter and his family!

At that time, he was in deep grief and self-blame, and he didn't think deeply about it, but later, he calmed down, and then slowly thought about the eldest daughter's throwing, and felt that it was not right.

Liang Sicheng's heart was complicated, and when he spoke, his expression inevitably showed a little entanglement.

Mu Yan narrowed his eyes, and his eyes froze.

There was silence in the room for two breaths, and the air suddenly became condensed.

"Do you think there's something wrong?" Mu Yan asked straightforwardly.

When it came to this, Liang Sicheng naturally knew everything: "The son doesn't know anything, the eldest daughter of the last general has been tough and calm since she was a child, and she is not the weak woman who can only cry and cry when she encounters problems." With the last general's understanding of her, even if she reconciles with the king of Taijun, she will not commit suicide. ”

Liang Sicheng's brows were furrowed, and the center of his eyebrows was almost twisted.

After considering his words for a while, Liang Sicheng continued: "At that time, the news of the 'surrender to the enemy' reached the capital, but the holy decree was not issued, and no one knew what kind of decision the emperor would make, and how she should try to deal with the Liang family. ”

"Even if she can't keep everyone in the Liang family, she will try to leave a bloodline for the Liang family."

"Moreover, even if the Holy Decree wants to behead all the men of the Liang family, maybe the female dependents of the Liang family will be betrayed, she is alive, and she can always take care of the female relatives of the Liang family."

The Liang family is dead, the Liang family is isolated, there is no hope, even if the Liang family doesn't want to think about herself, she will think about her old mother.

The more Liang Sicheng thought about it later, the more he felt that it was wrong, the eldest daughter could never just do nothing when she heard the news, and directly committed suicide.

At that time, he was too busy to take care of himself, and even if he felt that something was wrong, he couldn't do anything for his eldest daughter.

Mu Yan pondered while drinking tea, and his phoenix eyes became sharper and sharper.

In that year, after the death of Princess Liang of Taijun, the king of Taijun made the decision to give Mu Jinfan and Geng Tinglian a divorce, and later on the pretext of Mu Jinfan's bad character, he took away Mu Jinfan's position as the son of the family, and drove him out of the house.

The concubine Chengjue needed the emperor's special approval, and it happened that the emperor was angry with Mu Jinfan because of Liang Sicheng's defection to the enemy for a while, so he approved it without saying a word.

The current prince of Taijun is Mu Jinfan's second brother, Mu Jinwei.

Mu Yan has no contact with the King of Taijun, and he is not familiar with this person, but judging from the other party's behavior after the accident in the Liang family, he is definitely not a person of noble character.

Mu Jinwei is not a good thing, after the accident of the Liang family, he was entangled with Ni Yaying, the wife of the eldest son of the Liang family, and almost made a scandal, this matter also made trouble in front of the emperor, angered the emperor, and almost abolished Mu Jinwei's throne, and later the king of Taijun managed to find two peerless beauties, and asked the eldest princess of Changqing to take a line and dedicate the beauty to the emperor, so he reluctantly revealed this matter.

Mu Yan's fingers rubbed twice on the armrest, and said, "I'll let people check this matter." ”

"Thank you, Childe." Liang Sicheng bowed his head and clenched his fists at Mu Yan again, and his hoarse voice was choked with a hint of choking.

In the past three years, his family has been convicted of him, especially the tragic death of his daughter, which is a thorn in his heart......

As a father, he always wants his daughter's death to be revealed to the world!

This is the only thing he can do for his daughter.

After a cup of tea, Liang Sicheng left the princess's mansion, and on the same day, Mu Yan issued an order as the regent, ordering Liang Sicheng to take over the military administration of the two southern states, and exempting the Liang family from all charges.

There was an uproar in the DPRK and China, and the ministers of civil and military affairs argued endlessly.

Some people think that since Liang Sicheng has defected to the enemy, even if he is guilty of meritorious service now, it is already an extra grace to be exempted from the death penalty, how can he not be punished and rewarded, and even promoted extraly!

Many people lamented that Mu Yan, who was not as weak as the crown, was still too young after all and acted rashly.

But some people feel that Mu Yan is reckless, he is clearly being a good person, so as to befriend those generals in order to cover the military power in his hands!

Thinking about it, this time, most people didn't dare to speak out easily, after the incident of the Taimiao that day, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty realized one thing, if there is no accident, Mu Yan, the son of Emperor Chongming, will be the next monarch.

The only person who can stop Mu Yan from ascending the throne is Cen Yin, if they act rashly, they will only be displeased.

Most of the ministers were waiting to see Cen Yin's attitude, wanting to see what would happen to Cen Yin, after all, this was a great opportunity for Cen Yin to suppress Mu Yan, as long as Cen Yin spoke out, they only needed to echo it to show their position and attitude.

However, one day passed, two days passed, and on the third day, Cen Yin still did not express his position, as if he acquiesced to this matter.

In this way, some people were anxious, for fear that this matter would pass silently, so some people sprinkled a fold on the ground, saying that it was inappropriate for the regent to reuse Liang Sicheng, Liang Sicheng defected to the enemy and treason, the evidence is conclusive, he is a criminal minister, he has not yet been tried, and he cannot be let go back to the south, he should be removed from his position, convicted, and imprisoned in the prison for the three divisions to be tried.

After the fold was handed over, there was no sound, and Mu Yan directly pressed down the fold, ignoring it.

No one expected that Mu Yan would be so partial to Liang Sicheng, and there was no one in his eyes, many courtiers were extremely dissatisfied with this, and some noble courtiers who were good friends with each other discussed in private.

"Hey, the regent is really too young, and it is difficult to do things according to personal likes and dislikes." King Taijun said a little disapprovingly.

Today, the king of Taijun invited a few good clan nobles to come to the mansion to talk about it, most of these people are generations of family friends and in-laws, so they don't have so many scruples when they speak.

The others in the hall exchanged knowing glances with each other.

In the capital, no one knows that after the accident of the Liang family, the king of Taijun couldn't wait to clear up the relationship with his eldest son Mu Jinfan, which is equivalent to a feud with the Liang family.

Some nodded in agreement, some remained silent, and some directly refuted.

"Lord Wang, what you said is wrong." A middle-aged man with a short and fat figure and a green brocade robe said slowly, as if there was a bit of pride that everyone was drunk and sober, "According to Ben Hou, this regent city is quite deep, where does he act according to likes and dislikes, he obviously wants to win over the generals and let Liang Sicheng give him his life!" This move, high! ”

"Master Hou is right." Another man in his thirties suddenly stroked his palm and said, "Think about it, a criminal minister like Liang Sicheng, if this is a few princes, you must always be afraid of the emperor who convicted him in the first place, where will he be used." Now only the regent dares to use Liang Sicheng! ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Yes, Mu Yan probably also thought of this, Liang Sicheng's defection to the enemy was the biggest stain on his career, and only Mu Yan could be loyal to him, and now only Mu Yan ascended the throne, and the Liang family could have a bright future.

"The regent's move can be described as killing two birds with one stone, and by the way, he can also pocket the southern border and Huaizhou, he is accumulating strength to guard against 'that one'!" The short and fat middle-aged man said again, he deliberately increased the volume on the three words "that one", and everyone knew that the person he was referring to was Cen Yin.

Many people in the hall were a little thoughtful.

One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, especially when it comes to the supreme power, no one will share their own power with others, this is the case today, Cen Yin is like this, and Mu Yan is the same.

Although Mu Yan is now the regent, he will not be satisfied with the status quo, after all, he is now subject to Cen Yin everywhere, and Cen Yin may moderately put some power to Mu Yan and let him taste some sweetness, but it is impossible to allow Mu Yan to sit big step by step and threaten his position, after all, there are many emperors in this history who began to "settle" old accounts after sitting on the throne.

King Taijun picked up the teacup, took two sips of tea, and pondered in his heart: Cen Yin will take action to suppress Mu Yan sooner or later, and if he doesn't make a move now, I'm afraid it's just that the time has not come, or he wants to take advantage of this to see the attitude of the ministers......

King Taijun's eyes flashed, and he reprimanded him by his name: "This Mu Yan, in order to fight for power and profit, even a general like Liang Sicheng dares to use it, and he is not afraid of being criticized by scholars all over the world?" ”

The king of Taijun was "indignant" and said, and a young man in Tsing Yi hurriedly came to the hall.

After the little servant entered the hall, he said to the head of the Taijun Wang: "Lord, the regent announced that you will go to the Wuying Palace. ”

After the words fell, the voices in the hall suddenly seemed to be sucked away, and there was a dead silence.

Everyone had different expressions, some frowned, some showed surprised expressions, some were a little uneasy, and some showed curiosity and thought, and their eyes all looked at King Taijun.

"......" King Taijun looked inexplicable, he had no contact with Mu Yan.

In the past, in order to avoid suspicion, he would also keep his distance from the son of the eldest princess of Anping; Now, considering Cen Yin and Liang Sicheng, he will not show favor to Mu Yan.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

The short and fat middle-aged man glanced at the people in the room, and his face showed a hint of understanding, and he said categorically: "Lord Wang, I'm afraid that the regent is trying to win over the clan by doing this!" ”

The others also showed a bit of a sudden realization when they heard this.

The other person nodded and agreed: "Yes, Lord Wang, you must talk to Mu Yan well, don't make your own decisions at a young age, the government affairs of the court are not as good as fighting a war, it is not a matter of who wins and who loses, you have to consider all aspects." ”

The implication of these words is that Mu Yan is a hairy boy, even if he can fight? It's just a martial artist, and fighting a war is completely different from the intrigue in the court!

King Taijun also thought so, pulled the corners of his mouth and said: "Hey, young man, if you build a little bit of merit, then it will be fluttering, how can this king say that he is also his elder, so he should talk about him well." ”

It is absolutely impossible for Mu Yan to fight Cen Yin, a spirit like this!

For himself, this may be an opportunity, should he take this opportunity to show his kindness to Cen and show his loyalty?

The king of Taijun temporarily handed over the guests of this hall to his second brother, and he left the palace in a carriage and went in the direction of the palace.

The carriage jolted slightly, and King Taijun, who was alone in the carriage, was in a trance, and his face sank like water.

To tell the truth, after the king of Taijun learned that Liang Sicheng had defected to the enemy, he had already regarded Liang Sicheng as a living dead.

After all, Liang Sicheng rebelled against Dasheng, or Nan Huaisheng, he was a general, and he was charged with treason for 10,000 years; Either Da Sheng wins, then Liang Sicheng is the crime of dividing the corpse of the five horses.

Unexpectedly, Liang Sicheng not only came back alive one day, but was also given a big responsibility.

The commander-in-chief of the military affairs of Yunnan and Qianzhou is a feudal official.

And he is just an idle clan, and now that Liang Sicheng is beautiful, he will definitely take advantage of this to step on him......

And his unfilial son, Mu Jinfan, will rely on Liang Sicheng to oppose him......

King Taijun was a little irritable and a little flustered in his heart, as if he had pressed a boulder, which made him panic.

He opened the corner of the curtain slightly, let the breeze blow in, and the whole person felt a little more comfortable, and said to himself that he must try to make Mu Yan change his decision, and this rebel general should have the "treatment" of a rebel general. The most suitable place for Liang Sicheng is the prison!

The Taijun Palace's palace is not far from the palace, only four streets away, and the carriage arrived at the palace gate without a single incense stick.

The little chamberlain who came to Xuanren led the king of Taijun through several palace gates to the east side hall of the Wuying Palace, and let the king of Taijun enter by himself.

Incense was lit in the side hall, and wisps of green smoke rose from the incense burner.

Mu Yan sat comfortably by the window, holding a book in his hand, reading, and a young general in his twenties stood next to him.

King Taijun walked up to Mu Yan, thinking that he was also an elder no matter how he said it, and arched his hand casually, "Ah Yan." ”

He stood with his head held high, waiting for Mu Yan to return the salute.

Mu Yan closed the book, and casually put the booklet on the small square table on the side, next to it was a small arm-length firearm.

King Taijun's gaze inevitably fell on the fire gun, and the corners of his eyes jumped.

Mu Yan looked at King Taijun with a smile, and neither returned the salute nor invited him to sit down.

Being looked at by Mu Yan like this, King Taijun's old face showed a little embarrassment, and he always felt that he was inferior to others standing like this.

He simply walked to a circle chair next to him and was about to sit down, but Mu Yan didn't speak, and the young general on the side had already reprimanded: "Did the regent let you sit?" ”

A small military general dared to speak to his dignified king in such a tone! King Taijun's face suddenly turned black as if he had splashed ink, and he said angrily: "Ah Yan, you don't care about your people!" ”

He began to feel that something was wrong in his heart: Could it be that Mu Yanxuan didn't come here to win him over?!

Mu Yan still smiled and said nothing, picked up the firearm on the square table, and played with it flexibly in his hand.

The corners of King Taijun's eyes jumped again, on the day of Mrs. Chu's birthday banquet, he was also in the Xuanguo Mansion, and he saw Mu Yan shoot and injure the third prince with this firebolt, and it was twice.

At that time, not only him, but everyone was afraid that Mu Yan would "bite" someone if he caught him, and no one dared to meddle in his affairs.

King Taijun's face turned pale, and his eyes were hesitant. Mu Yan even said that the three princes would be injured, and in the end, no one would punish him, let alone himself, I was afraid that he would be injured, and he could only endure it.

The situation is stronger than the man.

King Taijun said to himself in his heart, his eyes sparkling.

After hesitating for a while, he finally obediently took a few steps back, stood up again, straightened his sleeves, and bowed respectfully to Mu Yan: "See the regent." ”

He thought that Mu Yan would shout a salute halfway to show his modesty, but Mu Yan waited for him to perform the full salute, but there was no reaction.

This Mu Yan is really frivolous, he is an elder, and he is not afraid of losing his life!

King Taijun secretly gritted his back molars, and said in his heart: Hmph, a martial artist is a martial artist, and he doesn't even need to serve the people who serve him, and he carries a fire gun with him, which is no different from a robber, so vulgar, he doesn't understand the rules, and he doesn't look like their Mu family at all!

Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, but King Taijun didn't dare to move at will, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the fire gun in Mu Yan's hand, really afraid that this thing would suddenly go off.

He couldn't help but swallow.

Mu Yan flexibly turned the firearm in his hand again, and said with a smile: "King Taijun, the accuracy, speed and range of this firearm are good. ”

"......" A little cold sweat oozed from King Taijun's forehead, and he said in his heart: Since Mu Yan announced himself not to win over, is it to threaten himself so that he does not dare to oppose him?

King Taijun didn't dare to act rashly anymore, for fear of finding an excuse for Mu Yan to embarrass himself, so he had to continue to stand and dryly echoed: "It is indeed a good thing." ”

As he spoke, he barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

After that, there was silence in the side hall.

King Taijun didn't dare to ask why Mu Yanxuan came by himself, so he had to wait quietly, only to feel that the time was particularly long.

Mu Yan took out a moon-white handkerchief and slowly wiped the fire gun in his hand, as if he was wiping some rare treasure.

"King Taijun, Jin Fan did a good job on this errand, and he is about to return to Beijing." Mu Yan said casually as if chatting.

When King Taijun heard Mu Yan praise Mu Jinfan, he lifted his eyelids thoughtfully, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his body was not so tight.

It seems that Mu Yan should still want to win over his own family, but what he did was just to give himself a dismount first.

Little family gas! King Taijun secretly said in his heart, as the old saying goes, he was born in the deep palace and grew up in the hands of women. This Mu Yan is the answer to this sentence.

"Thank you, Lord Regent, for the compliment." King Taijun didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction on his face, and arched his hand with a smile, "Jin Fan is lucky enough to get the errand of transporting firearms to the north, and he should do it well." ”

"Hey, the ugliness of the family is not allowed to be publicized, but you and I are both our own families, and there is nothing bad to say, compared to the son of the world, Jinfan, this child is really dull, and he doesn't know how to be flexible. If the prince goes this time, it will definitely be better. ”

King Taijun degraded Mu Jinfan to nothing.

He said a lot, but Mu Yan remained silent.

King Taijun's heart sank, and he cautiously looked at Mu Yan's face, and had a feeling that it was not good, and a thought appeared in his heart: Could it be that Mu Yan wants to stand up for Mu Jinfan?

Think about it carefully, the eldest son Mu Jinfan once accompanied Mu Yan to Pu Guo, could it be that the two had a friendship because of this?

Hum! What if they have a friendship, filial piety is great, he is the father, Mu Jinfan is the son, even if he kills this rebel son with his own hands, he can only bear it!

King Taijun's heart has settled down a lot. That's right, it's a family affair for their family.

Mu Yan didn't look at King Taijun, he wiped the fire gun by himself, and said casually: "There is a difference. Since the Taijun Royal Mansion has set up a concubine as the prince, let's demote it to the rank of lord, and the end of three generations. ”

According to the ancestral system, the family of the clan can only be a son-in-law, and only if there is no son-in-law can the emperor be a concubine, if the emperor is not gracious, he can take back the title when he dies, even if the emperor has extra grace, he must be demoted to the throne.

However, the royal family has always been the most unruly place, and the clan is not demoted for three generations according to the ancestral system, and the fourth generation has only begun to descend.

King Taijun's face was even more ugly. Most of the clans are idle princes, and their reliance is on the title, without the title, they will have no grace, just commoners. For them, taking the title and demoting the lord is tantamount to asking for their lives.

He is already the third generation of the king of Taijun, and the third generation will eventually mean that the title will stop at his generation, and the position of the second son will naturally be gone.

Mu Yan is really too deceitful!

King Taijun tried to argue with Mu Yan: "The second son of King Feng Ben is the second son of the emperor, which is an extra favor of the emperor......"

However, Mu Yan didn't want to hear it at all, and said lightly: "The emperor is the emperor, and I am me." ”

He didn't want to open it.

"......" King Taijun was dumbfounded for a while, and his face changed several times. Mu Yan said that he would soon ascend the throne! Crazy, it's crazy!

King Taijun clenched his fists, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to himself that at this time, it would be useless for him to make trouble with Mu Yan...... That's right!

King Taijun suddenly had an idea and thought of a good idea.

This matter is not big or small, in fact, it is a matter of Mu Yan's words, it is better to find two beauties to give to Mu Yan as he did three years ago, as soon as he is happy, he will let go of the Taijun Mansion as lightly as he did now.

Thinking about it, King Taijun's heart was hot, Mu Yan suddenly changed his words and asked, "King Taijun, how did Princess Ling die?" ”

Since the princess of Taijun committed suicide by hanging Liang, the king of Taijun has not continued the strings, and the princess Mu Yan said is of course only Liang Sicheng's daughter Liang.

Mu Yan's question caught King Taijun off guard, and in an instant, King Taijun's face turned white, like a white wall without a trace of blood.

There is no need for the other party to say anything, Mu Yan has already understood.

As Liang Sicheng said, Liang's death is really boring!

King Taijun quickly reacted, and opened his mouth to say: "The princess can't stand the blow, so she ...... to vote"

However, Mu Yan didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so he sent him away: "King Taijun, please go back." ”

Now that he understands it, Mu Yan doesn't plan to waste any more time on King Taijun, and King Taijun won't admit anything anyway.

"......" King Taijun was dizzy by Mu Yan's unreasonable play, his eyes were surging with extremely complex emotions, and he wanted to speak and stopped.

In the end, he still didn't say anything, and bowed his head to Mu Yan again: "Then the king will retire." ”

Under the guidance of the little chamberlain outside the hall, King Taijun left, leaving only Mu Yan and the young general in the side hall.

The young general couldn't help but ask, "Childe, just let him go?" ”

"Just throw stones and ask for directions." Mu Yan finally wiped the fire gun, threw the handkerchief away, and put the fire gun around his waist.

After all, after three years, time has passed, and there is no evidence left for many things, Mu Yan didn't plan to convict King Taijun with a single conversation, he just planned to test it first and then investigate.

The young general immediately understood what Mu Yan meant, and said with a smile: "Being a thief is weak." ”

If King Taijun has a ghost in his heart, he will naturally make some moves and reveal flaws, then it will be easy to check later.

Mu Yan didn't speak, he looked out the window in a daze, as if he was thinking about something.

These things made him a little upset, so he simply flew up and went out directly through the window, leaving a sentence: "I'll rest in the afternoon." ”

He gave himself a vacation directly.

Mu Yan took a shortcut out of the palace, and after that, he went to Duanmu Mansion, and climbed the wall and climbed the tree as usual.

Tomorrow is the Flower Festival~ Come on a date!
