Chapter 85: The mourning hall embraces
The largest restaurant in Chasing Cloud City came to Curie, and in the past, it was ushered in, and in the lively lobby, although it was still noisy, but now everyone seemed to have a trace of sadness on their faces, and the most noisy discussion was about the defeat of Sheng Guogong.
Someone leisurely tasted a pot of wine, and then sighed and said, "Beauty is twilight, the end of the hero, this is probably the saddest thing, I want Sheng Guogong to be a hero who has never tasted defeat in his life, but I didn't expect that the only time he even gave his life away!" ”
Someone answered, "So, now it's a mess here." I heard that Xiluo has occupied Mocheng, although there is no movement now, but who knows when he will lead his troops eastward, and who else in the DPRK can lead the troops to resist the enemy!? ”
"Isn't there His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Someone said loudly.
"I have relatives who are officials in the court, and I heard that the general who led the troops this time was originally His Royal Highness the Prince, but he refused! Sheng Guogong will be on top! ”
"Why! He is our god of war, how can he not go to the battlefield! ”
There was a lot of discussion downstairs, noisy and shouting, and in the private room upstairs, Mu Lingkong slowly drank the tea in the teacup, his eyes were empty, and his mind was obviously not here.
Meng Ruyue leaned against the door and listened for a while, then frowned and walked back indignantly, "It's really too much, Sheng Guogong has been fighting horses all his life, relying on his protection, Nanyue Kingdom has been peaceful for so many years, and now his bones are not cold, these people are talking here, they have the ability to go to the battlefield!" ”
Mu Lingkong stayed for a long time before he replied slowly. Meng Ruyue glanced at her a few times, with a faint worry in her eyes, "You say, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be implicated!" ”
Mu Lingkong shook his head, poured another cup of tea, watched the tea leaves in the cup slowly rise and fall, and said softly, "No, it's just that the Shengguo Mansion is going to collapse completely, and the prince who lost the Shengguo Mansion is just a tiger with sharp teeth and claws, and may fight against the next storm?" ”
*
The Shengguo Mansion is full of vegetarians, and the plaque of the Gongfu is still shining, and it ushered in the emperor's will: because the Shengguo Gongjun defeated Mocheng, it was the general's dereliction of duty, remembering his past achievements, demoting the Gongfu to the Hou Mansion, and recovering the Tiger Fu of the Northwest Battalion.
The Shengguo Mansion can be regarded as a complete loss of military power.
In the usual mansion of the city, when Sheng Guogong was silent for a few days, no one came to worship, and everyone avoided it, which shows that people are indifferent.
Sheng Yuxi knelt on the futon, his knees numb. The bright and lively eyes of the past have been overshadowed.
He stared blankly at the dark word "Dian" in the hall, and only after a while did he turn his eyes to look at Feng Mingzhen, who was dressed in white next to him and had a cold face, and his voice was hoarse and low, "You shouldn't have come!" Now everyone is eager to draw a line with the Sheng family-"
Feng Mingzhen's eyes didn't move, "I am not included in everyone!" ”
Sheng Yuxi stopped talking, and looked ahead again, "Do you believe what Uncle Xu said?" ”
Feng Mingzhen's gaze fluctuated a little at this time, he pursed his lips, and it took a long time before he spoke with difficulty, "I believe ......"
Sheng Yuxi slammed his hands on the ground, and became excited in vain, "So! What are you going to do!? All along, it was grandpa who forced you to fight. He knows that you are not rare to be the prince, so he fights for you, but do you know that from the moment you become the prince, you can't help but give up, now it's grandpa, next time, is it the entire Sheng family!? ”
Feng Mingzhen suddenly clenched his fists, but he never said a word.
Just when the atmosphere in the hall was solemn, the little maid in the concierge suddenly ran in, "His Royal Highness the Prince, young master, yes, someone came to worship the old lady!" ”
Feng Mingzhen and Sheng Yuxi glanced at each other, put away the tension on their faces, and lowered their eyes waiting for someone to enter the hall.
There was a sound of soft footsteps in front of the hall, and when he got closer, he paused before stepping in again.
Feng Mingzhen's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly raised his eyes to see that Mu Lingkong, dressed in white, walked in slowly.
Met his gaze, she nodded slightly, "I'm here to worship Sheng Guogong!" ”
Sheng Yuxi stood up from the futon next to him, and looked at her with some words to stop, "You just come over like this, does Prime Minister Meng know?" ”
"Whether I come or not has nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion!" She said lightly.
Then he knelt down in front of the hall and kowtowed respectfully three times.
Sheng Yuxi watched her kowtow silently, lit a bunch of incense from the incense burner and handed it to her, seeing that she was inserted in the incense burner upright, she said, "We have received your wishes, but now that the Shengguo Mansion is different from the past, you better leave early!" lest gossip spread to you! ”
Mu Lingkong lowered his head and glanced at Feng Mingzhen, who had not said a word since she entered the Dian Hall, "Since I have entered the Shengguo Mansion, I am not afraid of gossip!" ”
She said so, Sheng Yuxi was not easy to catch up, he looked at Feng Mingzhen on the other side, and then said, "I have something to do, go out first!" ”
For a while, only Mu Lingkong and Feng Mingzhen were left in the hall.
Mu Lingkong hesitated in place for a moment before he stepped forward and half-squatted in front of Feng Mingzhen, and asked softly, "Are you okay?" ”
Feng Mingzhen raised his eyes, and his face was the same as usual, and he couldn't distinguish between joy and sorrow, but Mu Lingkong could feel the sadness in his heart, because his eyes were as bright as stars at this time, as dark as a lake in the night, calm and dead.
He looked at Mu Ling for a long time, and suddenly hung his head on her shoulders like a loss of strength, and said in a dumb voice: "Since I can remember, most of the time every year will be sent by the queen mother to the frontier grandfather, watching him drill soldiers and horses during the day, marching and arranging formations, herding horses and grasslands together at night, watching the stars in the sky, it can be said that my childhood is my grandfather has always accompanied me to grow up!" After my mother passed away when I was fifteen years old, my father began to promote Feng Minghao to fight against me, and it was my grandfather who helped me plan the layout. Many times, I hate this kind of conspiracy to fight for rights, but it is precisely the right I hate the most to protect the people I want to protect the most! ”
Mu Lingkong gently stroked his back, "Since ancient times, there have been many things about power dumping, only by cheering up, can you not waste the spirit of Sheng Guogong in the sky!" ”
Feng Mingzhen slowly hugged her, "I don't have anything now, I don't care about anything, but I won't let them hurt the people I cherish anymore!" ”
He whispered in Mu Lingkong's ear, "You know what? My grandfather didn't die in the middle of the arrow, he was shot by a bow and arrow suddenly shot in his own camp and died! ”
This news exploded in Mu Lingkong's ears like thunder, and Mu Lingkong looked up in surprise to see Feng Mingzhen's expression, but he kept his head down, and could only hear his soft voice continue to remember, "Haven't they been worried about me fighting for power?" Then I'll show them! ”
