Chapter 746: Sister-in-law
Changning entered the palace while sitting on the emperor's chariot.
Chang'an City had just been warned, and the people still had fear in their eyes, so when Liaodong heavily escorted Changning into the palace, not many people dared to come to watch, they only dared to watch from afar.
This eldest princess was carried into the palace with a phoenix in the past, but who would have thought that today, eight months later, she would be replaced by a dragon chariot.
Chang'an City became lively because of the arrival of the empress's army, and Changning was also regarded as the orthodox bloodline of the Chu family, and she was in charge of the imperial power, and the people subconsciously had a feeling of returning to the past.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were spared because they were more or less favored by Changning, and they turned a blind eye to the heroine's accession to the throne.
And Mu Qingyan was also smart not to pursue those who "collaborated with the enemy and treason".
In order to appease people's hearts, he issued the first holy oracle for Changning, all the stories of Liu's rebellion during the First World War were not to blame in the past, and only looked at the future deeds.
The hearts of the officials were completely calmed.
Also on the same day, Mu Qingyan announced the confession of the surviving imperial doctor in the palace, confirming that King Xiao Jin had died half a month ago.
There was an uproar.
King Xiao Jin did rarely show up after he ascended the throne, and even the holy decree was announced by Liu Yizhan on his behalf, which is reasonable.
What's more, Zhao Yu and the others were mad, and in order to pretend, they even smeared embalming ointment on the corpse of King Xiao Jin, in a vain attempt to delay corruption, and the evidence was conclusive.
It wasn't until today, when Mu Qingyan took over the palace, that this poor child began to be buried.
Changning lived in Qianxiang Palace according to the emperor's system, and he himself, because of his status as the emperor's husband, also lived in the dormitory, and no one dared to disagree with His Majesty to eat and sleep together and deal with political affairs.
To put it bluntly, the officials in the court can only hope that Mu Qingyan is sincere to Princess Changning.
Otherwise, the 100,000 troops in Liaodong will be overwhelmed, and Mu Qingyan will now announce his ascension to the throne and change the dynasty, and they will not dare to let go of a fart.
Mu Qingyan knows what the officials think.
In fact, if Changning was awake at the moment, Mu Qingyan would never be involved in these things.
He knows his identity very well, once he discusses politics, he has the taste of plotting to usurp the throne and coerce the princes of the Son of Heaven, but he still maintains an attitude that is neither domineering nor humble, so that the hundred officials can't figure their heads, and at the same time, they don't dare to act rashly to ask him to return the power to Changning.
Mu Qingyan's move was of course to delay time, he never thought of becoming emperor.
Even now that the Mu family's heavenly grace is gone, his perception of astrological divination is not as keen and strong as before, and the curse of the Mu family that they will never be the masters of the people has also disappeared, and he can ascend the throne and stand on his own feet at any time.
But he wasn't impressed.
The world is full of rivers and mountains, but it can't withstand a smile.
Mu Qingyan looked at Changning's peaceful sleeping face, and for the first time in his heart, he felt how accurate this sentence was.
So in order for Changning to smile after he sobered up, he had to insist.
Mu Qingyan wiped Changning's hands with a wet cloth, and suddenly paused when his fingertips swept over Changning's wrist.
His fingers stopped on Changning's wrist and bounced to check the pulse, and his face was indescribably strange.
"How is this possible......"
What interrupted Mu Qingyan was a military newspaper.
Sui Anhou's Cao family's army did not move, even if he heard that Sui Anhou was captured by Mu Qingyan because of the "assassination of the empress", he did not make the slightest move.
On the surface, the 20,000 Cao family army was not the opponent of the 100,000 army in Liaodong at all, so they admitted defeat before they fought.
As a matter of fact...... Of course, that's the case, but with one more.
That is, what Sui Anhou said when he was captured was good, there are still people in charge in the Cao family's army.
And this person is not Cao Yu.
Because at the first time of capturing Chang'an, Cao Yu, the prince of Sui'an, rushed into the city to find his mother.
When Cao Yu saw that his family was not only intact, but had even become a refuge for the entire Chang'an City, he had mixed feelings, but he did not ask for Sui Anhou to be released.
Therefore, Mu Qingyan had reason to suspect that Cao Yu did not know the news of Sui Anhou's arrest at all.
In the army of Sui'an Hou, there are still such characters.
can not only conceal Cao Yu as the young master, but also control the whole army.
Who the hell is he?
Mu Qingyan wanted to know the identity of this person, and he also knew that he would soon be able to know what kind of medicine was sold in this Sui Anhou's gourd.
Therefore, he still focused on dealing with military affairs, looking like he was ignoring the Cao family's army, and at the same time he also sent people to pay close attention to the situation in the northwest, and he had already prevented Liu from counterattacking after learning the news.
At the beginning, Liu Yizhan took away the top team in the northwest military defense of Dachu, and once Liu Yizhan led the 200,000 troops to counterattack, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But even if there is a real fight, Mu Qingyan will not be guilty.
Half of the army in Liu Yizhan is the general of Hawkeye Pass, which can be regarded as an old department that was born and died with him.
Moreover, his reputation as the commander of Eagle Eye Pass is still there, and with an order, half of the 200,000 troops in Liu Yizhan will have to fluctuate.
In addition, the 100,000 troops in Mu Qingyan's hands are all henchmen of Liaodong, and they have fought against the Turks for many years, and their combat power is no worse than that of the Northwest Army, and even slightly stronger, so Mu Qingyan is not afraid, the only thing he is worried about is the misery of life.
"Report! There is an emergency military situation! The urgent document for eight hundred miles northwest came, which was sent by the general who defended the city at Eagle Eye Pass: "Liu Yi was defeated in the battle!" More than half of the Northwest Army has been lost and has fled back to the territory! Ask Chang'an to come to the aid quickly, otherwise the country will be broken! ”
Chang'an, which was originally peaceful, panicked again because of this military report.
This is really a wave of unsettled waves, is it true that Da Chu's qi is really exhausted?
Mu Qingyan dealt with it urgently, but I don't know when, the fortunes of the Chu Dynasty were about to end, and the rumor that the new dynasty would belong to the Liu family spread in Chang'an City.
Chunxiao urgently organized the people of the Mozi Guild to arrest them, and pulled out the few dead soldiers of the Liu family who released the rumors and threw them into prison.
But the rumors were still released, and some people began to question the virtue of the position of Empress Changning, and some even said that only by giving way to Liu and fighting could the war be extinguished.
Originally, because the doubts of the siege battle subsided, Chunxiao and Zhou Wan teamed up to catch wave after wave, but there was no end.
"Someone must be doing something in the dark!" Zhou Wan was angry in front of Mu Qingyan.
If it weren't for someone secretly playing ghosts in Chang'an, the messages would never be so endless.
And this matter is too harmful to the new emperor, so that the atmosphere in Chang'an is tense again, Mu Qingyan attaches great importance to it, and under his personal investigation, he finds that the spearhead is actually pointed at Cao Hou's army outside Chang'an City.
All of a sudden, things got complicated.
The 20,000 people outside Chang'an City are not much compared to the 100,000 Liaodong Army, but it is not a small number.
Mu Qingyan is a good hunter, since the other party can't bear it, he will be more patient.
After all, it is now him and Changning who occupy the righteousness and have the capital to stand still.
On the surface, he was presiding over the affairs of the Northwest Army, but he did not relax for a moment about the gossip in Chang'an City, and the evidence that should be arrested was in his hands.
When it was clear enough to pick out the message from the Cao family barracks, the Cao family barracks moved.
The person behind the curtain stood up and announced to the whole world with the holy decree of Changning's previous accession to the throne: "The first emperor passed on the throne, but the concubine is not the only princess of Changning!" ”
