169 Never again
The next day, Ling Jiantong and Mu Jinghong were about to leave for the capital, but they disappeared from Situ Qianchen for a long time, and went to his room, only to find that he had left last night.
In Tianji City, the Fengguo Army was practicing in the barracks, and in the big tent, Gong Chuyue was dressed in men's clothes, sitting in front of the table, and was contemplating his eyebrows to deal with some official business.
At this time, the soldier guarding the gate came to report: "Lord Warden, someone outside the camp wants to see you." ”
Gong Chuyue didn't even raise her head, and said directly: "Let him come in directly." ”
The soldier was a little embarrassed: "The man said...... Let the warden personally greet him outside the camp. ”
The brush in Gong Chuyue's hand was stunned, and the paper was immediately dyed with a black ink spot, she raised her eyes to look at the little soldier in front of her, and she was already angry: "Who is here?" So arrogant? ”
The little soldier buried his head in the bottom, and he didn't want to be beaten for no reason: "The person who came was dressed in black, it was a man, he said...... He and the overseer are old acquaintances in the capital. ”
Old acquaintances?
Gong Chuyue couldn't think of who it was, but she still got up and followed the little soldier to the outside of the barracks, and saw the war horse meteor from a distance.
Gong Chuyue glared at Xiao Bing and said angrily, "Don't you even know Situ Qianchen?" ”
Xiao Bing gave up, this can't blame him, he is a recruit just recruited by the place, although he has heard Situ Qianchen's prestige before, but he has never seen a real person.
Gong Chuyue didn't have time to talk to a recruit, so she bombarded him.
Situ Qianchen heard the movement behind him, and slowly turned around and saw Gong Chuyue standing in front of him with a complicated expression, he smiled: "Miss Gong, are you okay in Tianji City?" ”
Gong Chuyue knows the truth that those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come, not to mention that this Situ Qianchen is an uninvited guest.
"General Zhaoyi has traveled thousands of miles to my Tianji City, but is there anything wrong? My time is very tight, and if the general comes to visit the mountains and rivers, then I will not accompany him. "As soon as Gong Chuyue gave up, she was about to leave, but where did Situ Qianchen say that she would leave easily?
"Miss Gong is afraid that she has not forgotten your oath that day, right?"
Gong Chuyue frowned, looked at him with doubt, and did not speak.
Situ Qianchen walked in front of her and had to remind her again: "I remember, that day, you said in the eldest brother's mourning hall that you would be different from Ling Jiantong, and one day you would completely defeat her, am I not mistaken?" ”
Gong Chuyue didn't deny it, nodded and said, "That's right." ”
She also admitted that it was good, Situ Qianchen stood with his hands in his hands: ". ”
"You?" Gong Chuyue glared at Situ Qianchen and snorted coldly: "Situ Qianchen, you are really good at laughing, aren't you too late for Ailing to cut her pupils?" For her, she can give up her life, what's wrong now? ”
"Miss Gong, this is a bad word, in the eyes of my Situ Qianchen, anyone who doesn't know how to lift is my enemy, I was Ailing cut her eyes before, but she only has Mu Jinghong in her heart, she trampled my heart under her feet three times and twice, from love to hate, I think Miss Gong, not a stranger, right?"
According to Situ Qianchen's temperament, this is a bit like his style of doing things, but she Gong Chuyue and Situ Qianchen haven't known each other for a day or two, but Gong Chuyue only listens to his words as a joke.
"Situ Qianchen, don't think I don't know what you think, you just want me to be the sword in your hand, so that you can separate Mu Jinghong and Ling Jiantong, so that you can take advantage of the opportunity to enter, right?"
Situ Qianchen smiled: "Miss Gong is really smart, and she deserves to be able to train the Fengguo Army properly." ”
"You don't have to wear this kind of high hat for me, I don't eat this set, why should I help you?"
"It's very simple, because Miss Gong is helping you to help me, think about it, what is the most heartbreaking thing for Ling Jiantong right now? It's nothing more than Mu Jinghong, you and I have the same goal, why can't we form an alliance? ”
Gong Chuyue was silent, she has now fallen to this point, it is all caused by Ling Jiantong, it is because of Ling Jiantong, she can't go back to home, and it is also because of Ling Jiantong, she lost the love of her life, everything that caused all this is because of Ling Jiantong!
"Miss Gong, I don't have to tell you the truth, I have a plan now, I can directly let Ling Jiantong fall at your feet, do you want to hear it?"
Gong Chuyue hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
Because Mu Jinghong was in a hurry to enter the palace, he put Ling Jiantong at the door of Fengguo Mansion, and then escorted the owner of the village and the second master of the village captured from Nanzhi City to the direction of the palace.
In the court, Mu Jinghong was greatly praised by Mu Zhan for his contribution to controlling the plague in Nanzhi City, and was rewarded with a lot of silver taels and jewelry.
Prince Mu Luo stood on the side, his face was full of disdain, he was remorseful, he had known that the cottage bandits would be so stupid, he should not have let them intercept and kill Mu Jinghong.
All the rewards were placed in front of Mu Jinghong one by one, but Mu Jinghong didn't mean to take it, but said bluntly: "The son has one more thing, and he wants to play his father." ”
Mu Zhan was happy, stretched out his hand to signal Mu Jinghong to get up, and then said: "Hong'er, what's the matter, you might as well just say it." ”
Mu Jinghong took out a fold from his sleeve and presented it to the eunuch, who took it and handed it to Mu Zhan.
Mu Zhan still had a smile on his face at the moment before he opened the fold, until he saw the contents of the fold, the smile on his face became tightened, and his face gradually became gloomy, he looked at the prince who was standing aside from time to time as if nothing happened, and closed the fold with a heavy heart.
Mu Zhan didn't question the crown prince Mu Luo, but looked at Mu Jinghong and asked, "Hong'er, is what you wrote here true?" ”
Mu Jinghong said truthfully: "What Erchen wrote, there is no discrepancy at all, when the prince took over Nanzhi City before, he privately swallowed the disaster relief silver taels of the imperial court, and closed the city gate, not giving the people who suffered from the plague a little bit of medicinal materials, and let them fend for themselves at home, but also tried to make Nanzhi City a dead city, Erchen was later ordered to go to Nanzhi City, and the prince sent local bandits to take the lives of Erchen. ”
Mu Luo, who was on the side, heard that Mu Jinghong had impeached him, he immediately stood up, pointed at Mu Jinghong and said angrily: "Seventh brother, this meal can be eaten indiscriminately, and words can't be talked indiscriminately, when did I make Nanzhi City a dead city?!" ”
Mu Jinghong didn't have to pay attention to Mu Luo, he said directly: "Father, the son has evidence in his hand that can be proved. ”
Mu Zhan glanced at Mu Luo with a solemn face, and then allowed Mu Jinghong to present the evidence.
In addition to some correspondence between Mu Luo and the local prefect, there was also a person kneeling on the court, and that person was the master of the Nanzhi prefect.
Mu Zhan looked at those letters while listening to his master's accusations of Mu Luo's various evil deeds in Nanzhi City.
The civil and military officials standing in the court began to talk in a whisper.
"On weekdays, I see that the Seventh Prince doesn't learn and has no skills, but I didn't expect that he is accumulating thick and thin, and now the evidence is conclusive, and the prince is afraid that it will be suspended."
"Who said it wasn't, I think the Seventh Prince wants to bring down the crown prince and take the opportunity to replace him."
Prince Mu Luo's face was very ugly, he glared at Mu Jinghong, if it weren't for Mu Zhan still there, he was afraid that he would have rushed up to kill Mu Jinghong a long time ago.
I read most of the letters, and the master's words were finished.
Mu Zhan's face was already blue with anger, he smashed all those letters on Mu Luo's body, and said angrily: "Luo'er, you really did this?!" ”
Mu Luo knelt on the ground and swore not to admit it: "Father Mingjian, these things are made up by Mu Jinghong to frame his son!" The retainers are wronged! ”
This person's evidence and physical evidence are all there, how can Mu Zhan still trust Mu Luo?
Mu Zhan sighed lightly and ordered: "Come on, lock the prince in Mingyuetai, and he is not allowed to take a step without my order." ”
Mu Luo was shocked, he was naturally unwilling to be imprisoned in Mingyuetai, but he begged Mu Zhan in every way, and Mu Zhan was also resolute, ignored him, and let the guards pull him out.
The hundred officials in the court suddenly sighed and were imprisoned in Mingyuetai, I am afraid that the position of this prince will not be guaranteed.
Mu Zhan felt that his temples were jumping hard, he stretched out his hand to signal the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch understood, so he stepped forward and said loudly: "Retreat!" ”
After worshipping the officials, Mu Zhan left the hall with the support of the eunuchs, and many courtiers got up and surrounded Mu Jinghong for a while, either thumbs up and praised him for doing the right thing, or came to pat the horse's ass as an afterthought.
Mu Jinghong couldn't stand so many officials who looked at him coldly on weekdays, but he changed his attitude in an instant just now.
Mu Jinghong knew in his heart that they were afraid that after Mu Luo stepped down, he would have no backing, so he would rely on himself, but unfortunately, they were looking for the wrong person.
"Excuse me, my lords, I'm going home." Mu Jinghong interrupted their flattery, pushed away the crowd and walked towards the door of the main hall, but he didn't expect that as soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he bumped into Situ Qianchen, who was about to come in.
The two looked at each other, and suddenly became a little unfamiliar.
Baiguan knew that Situ Qianchen and Mu Jinghong were the best, so they rushed up and surrounded Situ Qianchen to tell Mu Jinghong about his righteous act just now.
After Situ Qianchen heard this, his expression did not have any waves, he looked at Mu Jinghong, but said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the Seventh Prince really has a hand, and I really admire it." ”
Mu Jinghong couldn't get used to Situ Qianchen's polite words in the clouds, so he pulled Situ Qianchen out of the circle surrounded by hundreds of officials, found a secluded place, and said with his eyebrows: "Second brother, can't you say something well?" ”
The corners of Situ Qianchen's lips hooked slightly: "Seventh Prince, you are really powerful, even the current crown prince has fallen at your feet, so may I ask you if you take a step, are you ready to take the position of crown prince?" ”
"I told you in front of my eldest brother's grave that day, I have no ambition to be a prince, second brother, why don't you believe me?"
Situ Qianchen approached Mu Jinghong and smiled meaningfully: "I believe it, how can I not believe it, the court is dispersed, and I should go back to the house, third brother, you do a good job, second brother is optimistic about you." ”
Mu Jinghong looked at the back of Situ Qianchen leaving, and only felt that the distance between their brothers was like a ravine, and there was no time to fill it up.
