Chapter 219: Zhao Wuwu's Planting
Zhao Wuwu was as indifferent and detached as ever, maintaining such composure and calmness no matter what time he was, followed by Mu Yao. The two saluted Zhao Song and shouted respectfully, "Dad!" ”
When she arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mu Yao had to assume the posture that her daughter-in-law should have.
Zhao Song bowed his head, "The county lord is polite." ”
Mu Yao smiled, "Let's talk, I'll go out for a walk." "She is unfamiliar with this Prime Minister's Mansion, so it makes sense to go out for a walk. What's more, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhao Song and Zhao Wuwu have something to discuss.
Seeing Mu Yao's knowledgeable withdrawal, Zhao Wuwu stood there with his eyes constricted, and took the lead in speaking, "Dad should know about the East Factory?" ”
Zhao Song sat down, and someone came up to serve tea.
Holding his fruit tea, Zhao Wuwu coughed lightly twice, didn't say anything more, just waited for Zhao Song's reply.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Song said coldly, "This matter came too suddenly, the emperor had no intention at all earlier, but now he suddenly issued such a will, it is really incomprehensible, I don't know if there is any hidden meaning in this?" ”
Zhao Wuwu took a sip of fruit tea, and couldn't help but say lightly, "The main battle in Dongchang, but now the emperor wants the main battle faction to go to Huanglan to negotiate peace, does this mean to defend against people?" ”
"Are you saying that the emperor is worried that the Lord and the Lord's faction will collude with Huanglan when he goes to negotiate peace? Therefore, the emperor deliberately let the main battle faction go to negotiate peace, so that he could also fight for Daye's own interests. Zhao Song stared, he really didn't expect this, "So the emperor is obviously negotiating peace, but in fact he is leaning towards the main battle." ”
Thinking of this, Zhao Song gasped, the emperor's trick was really good. I didn't expect that after so many years of elixir poisoning, I didn't even make myself a fool, this brain is still bright enough.
Zhao Wuwu nodded, coughing lightly with a pale face, "The first time I learned the news, I already asked people to go to the military department to find out the news, and there must be news soon." Ahem, if there is a troop movement in the military department, then Dad should be careful. ”
Zhao Song's face did not change, he was always serious and cold, "Then you don't have to worry, let's take care of your body!" ”
"I've been sick for more than ten years, and I've long been used to it." When she said this, there was a little gloom in her eyes, and she looked a little desolate. But all her looks are fleeting, she doesn't show it for too long or too much, and all her emotions are just right.
Zhao Song took a deep breath, "If the army is really transferred, I think the emperor really wants to go to war." ”
"If the emperor fights the main battle, and he doesn't want to refute the peace faction between his father and the adults, he has to think of another way. It is conceivable that the emperor's recognition and favor of Mu Baili has exceeded what we can imagine. Zhao Wuwu said softly and softly, "The power of Dongchang is constantly expanding, and it will develop towards an irreversible shape over time." When the time comes, if my father wants to curb it, I'm afraid he will have more than enough heart and not enough power. ”
"I don't need you to remind you that these things are clear to the Father." Zhao Song picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and then looked at Zhao Wuwu coldly, "I'm afraid you've been thinking about it for a long time, right?" Do you really want to deal with Dongchang? ”
Zhao Wuwu sighed lightly, "Dongchang and the Zhao family have been inseparable for a long time, and I just want to help my father so that the Zhao family can be invincible in the court!" Otherwise, Dongchang will grow, and our Zhao family will be destroyed in the hands of Mu Baili sooner or later. The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and there are no eggs under the nest. ”
Zhao Song stared at her meaningfully, "The case of your sectarian division has not yet been settled, and these things will be handled by the father himself." ”
"The case of the Jiaofang Division has been handed over to Jinyi Wei for disposal, and the emperor said that Jinyi's pro-army is credible." Zhao Wuwu drank fruit tea, his face was slightly pale.
"Even if it is a pro-army in Jinyi, it is not my Zhao family's pro-army after all, if you are so careless, you are not afraid of losing Jingzhou again?" Zhao Song said coldly, "Now that you are on the cusp, you should take care of yourself!" ”
"Worry-free understanding!" Zhao Wuwu coughed lightly, "But no one dares to do anything to me, the county lord has the Qi Yu Palace, and I have a father on the top to block it, as the only son of the Zhao family, I think even if I go to the emperor, I can be thoughtful." ”
"Getting carried away will lead to disaster." Zhao Song stared at her coldly, "County Lord......"
"The county lord doesn't know my daughter's identity for the time being, and I live with her in a separate courtyard in the name of filial piety, so she doesn't suspect it." Zhao Wuwu smiled bitterly, "I just don't know if after three years, the county lord will grit his teeth and hate to kill me?" ”
Zhao Song didn't say anything, it seemed that in his heart, Zhao Wuwu's life was insignificant at all, so whether the county lord would kill her or not had nothing to do with him. Zhao Wuwu is also used to this kind of indifference, but he is still a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Even if you have a dog, a dog that has been raised for 18 years, you should have feelings, right?
But she was a person, a living person, a daughter who would call him her father.
Therefore, some people have no heart or no heart, and you don't expect to cover him with your own blood and your own heart. Ruthless people are ruthless in the end, and they don't have to have hope.
Fortunately, the current Zhao Wuwu no longer has any hope for Zhao Song and the entire Zhao family. So even if Zhao Song is like this, she just feels uncomfortable and doesn't feel sad.
What really saddened her was her dead mother.
How much courage does it take to dare to waste his life and bury his life for such a merciless man.
"Does Daddy have any plans?" Zhao Wuwu asked.
Zhao Song stared at her with slightly gloomy eyes, "Not yet, this matter has to be discussed with the cabinet." The emperor's will was issued without going through the cabinet, and it could have been dismissed, but it was already a matter of the world, and it was a major national matter, and if it was rejected now, it would definitely anger the emperor. ”
"So it's too late to dismiss the emperor's will." Zhao Wuwu took over the conversation, "Dad, let's think about it, how to make up for it, right?" ”
Zhao Song's lips pursed, "When you come here, you won't just want to tell your father to be careful of Dongchang, right?" ”
Zhao Wuwu smiled, "Dad thinks, is Wuwu this kind of afterthought?" Who doesn't know to be careful of the East Factory, why do I need to mention it again? I'm here just to give my dad a suggestion that it depends entirely on my dad whether he will adopt it. ”
"What advice?" Zhao Song had to admit that although Zhao Wuwu was sick and couldn't fully believe what she said, her brain was extremely good. The city is deep, and sometimes he can really think of places that he can't think of.
"If the imperial court shoots nine thousand years old to negotiate peace, it will definitely send a large army to accompany it, and after the thousand years old master leaves, my father can send the overseer army to supervise the army, so as to coerce Mu Baili's arbitrary behavior, which can be regarded as a block." Zhao Wuwu coughed lightly, "Since the emperor is openly advocating peace, he will inevitably agree to such a suggestion, so as not to slap himself in the face when he gets it." ”
Zhao Song was silent.
Zhao Wuwu continued, "The emperor is suspicious, and the military power is in the hands of one person, so he must also be worried. This is also why, over the years, the court has been full of power, but the emperor has not favored anyone, right? Mutual checks and balances and mutual restraints can ensure the stability of the court. If one person is dominant, it will inevitably threaten the Dao Imperial Power. ”
Zhao Song always felt that Zhao Wuwu's words were actually said to him. However, what Zhao Wuwu said was also right, if someone in the court covered the sky with one hand, the emperor would inevitably worry about his imperial authority. This is also the reason why Zhao Song has been in a high cabinet for so many years, but he has always been humble to the emperor.
"Okay, for the sake of the Father's meeting." Zhao Song got up, "I'll go to the cabinet immediately, you go back to deal with the matter of the Teaching Workshop Division first, and I will deal with the rest as appropriate." ”
Zhao Wuwu smiled faintly, "Yes!" ”
After dealing with this matter, Zhao Wuwu thought that it was time to say hello to the top. This matter is not in a hurry, it is good to take it step by step, and it is easy to show your feet if you are too anxious.
But there is one thing, Zhao Song is right.
That is the case of the Teaching Workshop Division, and it must be concluded as soon as possible.
The case of the Teaching Workshop Division was aimed at Zhao Wuwu on the surface, but it actually meant that Dongchang was in trouble, so Zhao Wuwu was less worried. After all, such a big Dongchang is not something that anyone can shake if they want to, otherwise Zhao Song and King Qi You don't have to worry so much about Mu Baili being in charge of the army.
Walking out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhao Wuwu trembled and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Su Xi's eyes were quick and he immediately helped Zhao Wuwu.
Sitting on the steps in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhao Wuwu's face was as white as paper, and Mu Yao looked at her worriedly, "Xianggong, what do you think?" It's really not good, let's take a break and then go. ”
Zhao Wuwu thought, how can he rest? The emperor has already issued a holy decree, and he will presumably leave for it soon. After all, the emperor's desire for this snow fox has long exceeded whether the two countries are at war and whether the people will face the burden of war.
Sighing lightly, Zhao Wuwu reluctantly got up, "I'm fine, go back!" After thinking about it, he said, "County Lord, you go back to Shangshu Mansion first, inform Wen to go to the Teaching Workshop Division, and say that I am waiting for him in the Teaching Workshop Division." ”
Mu Yao frowned, "You still want to go to the Teaching Workshop Division?" Your body is ......," she was stunned, "what did the prime minister say about you?" What was Zhao Song's attitude at the beginning, and Mu Yao's face at the time of the incident, Mu Yao remembered it clearly.
Zhao Song will definitely not give Zhao Wuwu a good face. She sometimes thinks it's very strange, it was originally a normal thing for a loving mother and a strict father, but in Zhao Wuwu, what Mu Yao saw was not a strict father, but cold-blooded and ruthless. What is Zhao Wuwu's condition, everyone can see it, does Zhao Song not care about Zhao Wuwu's body at all?
Even an outsider like Mu Yao felt distressed when he saw Zhao Wuwu running around day after day, but Zhao Song, who was his father, was still aggressive, which was really incredible.
Could it be that people in high positions are accustomed to such insensitivity? Even his only son has to live and die, is it peace of mind?
However, Mu Yao didn't dare to say these words, after all, even Zhao Wuwu didn't say a word, so she naturally had to be a little calm.
"Then I'll go back first, and you be careful yourself." Mu Yao advised, "Wen will rush over soon." ”
Zhao Wuwu nodded, and watched Mu Yao get into the carriage and leave. She was still standing at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, looking back at the towering plaque in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, for her, whether it was the Prime Minister's Mansion or the Shangshu Mansion, this plaque was like a thousand catties of heavy burden, which made people breathless.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Wuwu said, "Let's go!" ”
Hearing that Zhao Wuwu was sick again, he almost fainted, so he rushed to the Teaching Workshop Division after picking up his old days. He knew that her body would not be able to bear it, the cold poison in her body was still moving arbitrarily, and it was rare to be able to slowly relieve the poison of Wuxiang, and now she had to rely on medicine to pretend to be sick, where could her body bear it.
When he arrived at the Teaching Division, he went to find Zhao Wuwu in a hurry.
In the Accord, Zhao Wuwu was lying on the soft couch, looking dying.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, she picked her eyelids and looked at the disturbed smell. Wen is a martial arts practitioner, and his feet are extremely fast, so it is impossible for him to have breathing disorders, and the only possibility is that he ran all the way with the medicine box.
"I don't have any horses in Shangshu Mansion to travel?" Zhao Wuwu glanced at him indifferently.
Seeing that she was still quite awake, Wen Gu breathed a sigh of relief, put down the medicine box and said, "The county lord said that you almost fainted, aren't I worried?" ”
Su Xi chuckled, "What are you worried about?" Isn't this still me by Childe's side? I really couldn't do it, so I gave up my internal strength to save my son. You said that you ran all the way with a medicine box, and those who didn't know thought that the Teaching Workshop Division had committed another murder case. ”
With a light sigh, he took the antidote and handed it to Zhao Wuwu, "Take the medicine first, and then I'll give you an injection to make the effect of the medicine work faster." ”
Zhao Wuwu nodded, "I'm fine, I just feel a little weak!" If you have time, let's go see Qu Yun! I hope she wakes up soon. ”
"Didn't Childe think that if Qu Yun wanted to die, then even if she woke up, it would be useless." Su Xi hesitated.
"If she wants to die, she must be threatened. Since they are all going to die, it doesn't seem to make much difference who threatens them. Zhao Wuwu was meaningful, "Isn't it just a dead word?" If she really wants to die, I will take her as the whole thing. It's just that she has to die worthwhile. ”
Su Xi didn't understand what Zhao Wuwu meant, but she knew that Gongzi must have a plan in his heart.
When the medicine took effect, Zhao Wuwu felt a little happier and a lot more comfortable. The breath held in his chest also eased a lot.
Wen Gu looked at her with his eyebrows, and carefully lowered his voice, "You are so anxious to deal with the affairs of the Sect Division, you are actually worried about Mu Baili, right?" Xu was afraid of angering Zhao Wuwu, and he looked a little timid.
A person who has been chased and killed by Dongchang for so many years, in front of Zhao Wuwu, is like a child who will make mistakes at any time, and his caution is so cautious that it makes people feel a little distressed and desolate.
Zhao Wuwu rubbed his eyebrows, "Suxi, you go and do something!" Su Xi recklessly exited the room.
Seeing Su Xi exit the room, Wen Su looked a little nervous, thinking that he would not make Zhao Wuwu angry again, right? In the past, she would yell at him when she was angry, and she would ignore him.
So what now?
Reminiscent of the old heart, waiting for Zhao Wuwu's reproach.
But this time, Zhao Wuwu unexpectedly did not blame him, but sighed lightly, "If you regard Mu Baili as your Murong and you as me, will you do everything for her?" ”
"I-"
"Will it?" Zhao Wuwu asked.
Bow your head and be silent.
"If you don't deny it, that's the default." Zhao Wuwu leaned on the soft couch, and the mood on his face seemed to be a little gloomy, "I don't know when I started to sink into the mud." I might as well tell you that I gave him the jade pendant, just like when you handed over the jade pendant to Murong, it was the same mentality and the same mind. ”
"What did you say?" You gave the jade pendant to Mu Baili? ”
"This jade pendant was given to Murong by you, representing your heart and your love. Later, it somehow fell into the hands of my mother, and my mother left this as a peace charm for me, and here is my mother's love for me. Now I hand it over to Mu Baili, which also means this. Zhao Wuwu said quietly, "I like Mu Baili, I like the kind I like very much." ”
"But you can't be together. The Zhao family and the East Factory are accustomed to being incompatible. "It's not that I think you love the wrong person, but I think that if you want to be together, it will inevitably be difficult." This Mu Baili is too ...... again."
Zhao Wuwu smiled bitterly, "What is there to be afraid of in many difficulties, I only ask you one thing, Murong was almost burned at the stake in the past, have you ever been afraid?" Have you ever flinched and hesitated? ”
"Nope." Hui Lao's face was slightly pale.
Today's Zhao Wuwu is very strange, she always talks about Murong, what does she want to express?
"I hope to have blessings from my loved ones, but I also know that my father will not be able to say yes." Zhao Wuwu smiled sadly, "Dad is my last relative in this world, it's a pity ......"
Wen Gu opened his mouth, he actually wanted to tell her that no matter what she decided, he would always support and accompany her. Even if she likes eunuchs, even if she sacrifices herself for Mu Baili, even if she and Mu Baili go through many hardships and dangers, they may not be able to get what they want. But he will still stand behind her, forever!
Seeing that he didn't dare to speak, in a certain position in Zhao Wuwu's life, he was vacant for more than ten years, which led to her suffering for eighteen years.
He doesn't have the qualifications, and he doesn't have the face.
"Actually, as long as the two of you can do well, your mother will be very pleased." Thinking about it, the one who loves Zhao Wuwu the most should be Yang Jinzhi.
"I know my mother will be happy, but I'm not happy." Zhao Wuwu smiled bitterly, "My mother can't see it, before she died, she couldn't see me put it on, and she made it for me with her own hands." ”
After a pause, she turned around and looked at him meaningfully, "Reminiscence, Murong looks good in a wedding dress, does it look good?" ”
Wen Gu suddenly smiled, with a little tears in his eyes, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?" ”
"Is it pretty?" She continued.
Hui nodded again and again, "It's good-looking, it's good-looking." ”
Zhao Wuwu replied in a low voice, "I've seen Mu Baili wearing a wedding dress, and he really looks good." Refreshed, is this considered a lover's eyes? What rejoices in oneself is always the best. ”
"But they are indeed the best." Wen choked up, and looked at Zhao Wuwu with tears.
"Actually, I'm curious, why didn't you persuade me to leave Mubari?" Zhao Wuwu straightened his posture.
was stunned for a while, this Zhao Wuwu's mood changed too quickly, and he couldn't accept it for a while. Stiffened, I don't know just now or now, which one is the real Zhao Wuwu? What she said just now, is it true or false? Or is it temptation?
He hesitated a little, and was speechless for a while.
"Mu Baili is insidious and cunning, ruthless, aren't you afraid that he will be with me, is there a plan?" Zhao Wuwu turned his face too quickly, and he couldn't hold it back.
"No, it won't." "He should, should also like you!" ”
"How so?" Zhao Wuwu got up, let out a long breath, and stretched comfortably, "Originally, they were all people in the court, and what they paid attention to was the struggle for power, how to be sincere." ”
"Then you're just-" Confused, confused.
"I was just joking with you, are you serious?" Zhao Wuwu calmly poured a glass of water, and drank it to himself, "It's just a temptation to test you, who knew that you were also an elbow turned out, and I really thought I liked Mu Baili." What, you want to use me to curry favor with Mu Baili, but you have a grudge with Dongchang? Well? ”
"I didn't mean that, I just think that as long as you are happy, no grievances or power are as important as your happiness." My grievances with Dongchang have been around for a long time, and there is no need for them anymore. It's just a life, and it's always insignificant to your happiness. ”
"Then how do you conclude that Mu Baili is not using me?" Zhao Wuwu sneered twice, "That guy is used to clever words, and some are means." If he wants to use me to attack the Prime Minister's Mansion and gain power in the court, then it is estimated that I will die without a place to be buried. ”
"Absolutely not." Review the past to the point.
"Because he told you that he was going to fetch the snow fox for me?" Zhao Wuwu stared at the old man faintly.
"Yes......" was dumbfounded.
Suddenly, he suddenly realized that he was being tricked around by Zhao Wuwu, and - Zhao Wuwu succeeded. Looking at the look on her face and the tight pursed lips, he understood that he couldn't hide it from Zhao Wuwu.
This girl can almost be described as cunning, focusing on her heart in every word.
She moves you deeply with her feelings, is aggressive, and makes you unable to parry.
Wen sighed and sat down helplessly, "Why do you have to know?" ”
"Because I feel that I need to know what kind of sacrifice the people I like have made for me behind my back. I can't be kept in the dark after he's done everything for me. Zhao Wuwu narrowed his eyes, "I don't like the feeling of being deceived, even if you think you are well-intentioned." ”
She thought that one day, she should let them taste how deeply the so-called white lies hurt people.
Looking at Zhao Wuwu steadily, "Your temperament is very similar to Murong, and you are so stubborn that people are speechless." ”
"Stubbornness has the benefit of stubbornness, at least sincerely." Zhao Wuwu took a deep breath, "You already knew that Mu Baili was going to Huanglan to fetch the snow fox for me, right?" ”
Silence.
"Okay, then I'll ask in a different way." Zhao Wuwu said, "What is the role of the snow fox?" Can it relieve the cold poison in my body and revive the butterfly Gu? If you promise Mu Baili to keep his secret, then there is no problem, you just need to answer yes or no. ”
Wen hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes!" ”
Zhao Wuwu sighed and didn't ask any more.
It is enough to have this answer, but looking at this situation, Mu Baili seems to have made all the plans, is he going to the wilderness with the idea of nine deaths and one life?
There was silence in the room for a while, and Su Xi knocked on the door and entered, "Childe, it's done." ”
Zhao Wuwu nodded, "That's good." He looked at Wen Lao, "Let's go and see Qu Yun!" Make sure she wakes up, this matter can't be delayed any longer. ”
Wen opened his mouth, but all the words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't swallow it and couldn't spit it out. That's it! It doesn't matter what she said before, which sentence is true and which sentence is false, it always follows her.
He still said the same thing: as long as she is happy, as long as she is happy, everything else doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter whether you use or be used.
When he stepped out of the room, Zhao Wuwu glanced back at Wen Gu, and suddenly said, "I haven't dreamed of Murong for a long time, do you say she's still there?" ”
I was stunned and couldn't answer.
Zhao Wuwu had already brushed his sleeves away, and he didn't seem to care about the answer. In the eyes of the old man, Zhao Wuwu's performance seemed to be getting stranger and stranger.
Qu Yun was still fainting, and he checked his pulse, saying that the toxins were gradually being peeled off, and if he could wake up in the past two days, there would be no problem, if he couldn't wake up, it was estimated that this would be the case in this life.
"What about the silver?" Zhao Wuwu asked.
Wen walked out of the room quickly and stayed outside.
Su Xi said, "According to the direction that the Chitose Lord said, the people sent by the lowly position have already found the batch of silver. She put one of the ingots from her sleeve on the table, "There are tens of thousands of taels to say the least." ”
Zhao Wuwu's fingertips gently brushed the white silver ingot, "The color is good, the amount is enough, it looks like the other party has invested a lot of money." She thought that this matter had to have a good place. If you can't spread it on your own head, it can only fall on someone else's head.
This is just to see who is more unlucky.
"Childe?" Su Xi said, "Lu Guoan asked people to carefully seal the cellar at that time, so the people of Jinyiwei failed to find out the location of the cellar, but after a long time, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes." ”
"So, we have to be fast." Zhao Wuwu whispered, staring thoughtfully at the silver ingot in his hand, "A while ago, the emperor filled the harem, and this household department was selected by order, so he must have received a lot of benefits, right?" ”
Su Xi nodded, "That's natural, this good and bad are all sent to the palace, and a lot of oil and water must have been taken." ”
"The household department is the wealth collection mouth of my Zhao family, if the household department is broken, I don't know if my father will be sick and rush to the doctor?" Zhao Wuwu smiled predictively, "The coins minted by the household yamen have their special marks. ”
She looked at Su Xi meaningfully, "Do you know what I mean?" ”
Su Xi was stunned, and looked at Zhao Wuwu hesitantly, "Are you sure that Gongzi wants to break ground on Xiangye's head?" If it is detected by Xiangye, I am afraid that it will ......"
"Even if my father finds out, it is the hand of Dongchang, what does it have to do with me?" Zhao Wuwu smiled coldly, "The emperor's decision to let Mu Baili envoy to the wilderness will definitely let him have military power." If my father rashly impeached Mu Baili at this moment, it would only make the emperor unhappy. delayed the emperor's great cause of cultivating immortals, and no one's head would be useless. ”
Su Xi nodded, "What Childe said is extremely true. ”
"I'm going to move this stall to the head of the Prime Minister's house, and then clean myself. I had to let my father knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and he didn't dare to attack Dongchang. Zhao Wuwu's eyes were ruthless, "The key to all is still on the emperor's body." Jun is Jun after all, who dares to make a mistake! ”
She threw the silver ingots to Su Xi, "Be careful to do so, don't show your feet, lest you fall short when you get it." ”
Su Xi bowed his head, this matter really has to be careful and careful.
