Chapter 264: There is no room for mediation
There were many people from the imperial examinations, and both Jiang University Scholars and Song Baiwu had served as imperial examination examiners many times, and most of these people were either protégés of Jiang University Scholars or Song Wubai's protégés.
Among them, there are many smart people who immediately understood what he meant, just now Concubine Qing had already said the words of forcing the palace, if the stalemate continues, it is inevitable that there will be no senseless sacrifices. Rather than losing your life here, it is better to preserve your strength and wait and see what happens.
Thinking of this, someone had already stood up and bowed to Song Baiwuyi: "Mr. is reasonable, our actions today are very reckless, and the student has retired." ”
Some people whispered their opinions to their companions, some people left, and it was useless for the rest of them to stay here, and they all got up one after another.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, today's recital has not yet been approved, please don't miss the state affairs of His Royal Highness the Prince." Song Baiwu had already persuaded people to retreat and arched his hand towards the prince.
Zhong Hantao was also relieved and took this opportunity to leave quickly.
Qing Guifei looked at Song Baiwu meaningfully, and raised the corners of her lips lightly: "There is Mr. Lao Song." ”
Song Baiwu arched his hand and said: "The concubine is serious, if there is nothing else, the minister will retire." ”
Looking at Song Baiwu's departing back, Concubine Qing's eyes narrowed, this guy seemed to be here to relieve the siege, but who knows what kind of medicine he sells in this gourd.
Outside the palace gate, Song Baiwu looked at the ministers surrounding him, and shook his head helplessly: "How can we guess about the holy will?" What's the use of dying there on your knees? If you have this time, you might as well do your part. ”
After shaking his head and sighing, he didn't care about those few people, and went straight to an extremely ordinary green cloth carriage not far away.
"There's Brother Laosong." Murong Jingzhong, the king of Beining, who was sitting in the car, lowered the curtain that exposed a gap.
Song Baiwu snorted coldly: "These sour Confucians, how can they do some brainless things like those generals." ”
The corners of Murong Jingzhong's mouth twitched: "Brother Song is a scholar. "How to say what you say is no different from the reckless man in the market, and he also knocked all the Wenchen and military generals into the dust with one shot.
"The old man is a scholar, but he is not pedantic. Next time this kind of thing, don't look for the old man, don't bother to look at their stupid appearance. Song Baiwu rolled his eyes, completely lacking the elegant demeanor that a scholar should have.
"This siege can only be solved by Brother Song." Murong Jingzhong felt that sitting in a carriage with the person in front of him was simply sinful, so his eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't want to talk to him anymore. If it weren't for the fact that his son really couldn't be separated, he wouldn't have bothered to go to Song Baiwu.
But Song Baiwu didn't think so, it was true that he hated Murong Jingzhong, but it was all because of his junior sister Jiang Chunxue. From Murong Chu's marriage before, he could see that Murong Jingzhong was still very concerned about the only blood left by his junior sister, and his hatred for him before had diminished a little. Besides, now is not the time to settle personal grievances.
"Tell Chu'er that there is no room for mediation in this matter, let him be prepared."
Murong Jingzhong's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened because of Song Baiwu's words, looked at him a few times, and nodded slightly.
……
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and the prince did not ask to see the emperor again, but was diligent in court affairs. The order in the capital is orderly, and it looks like a peaceful and prosperous world.
Just when it seemed to be calm, a secret guard quietly appeared in front of Mo Li: "The master asked his subordinates to tell Madame that it's okay." ”
Mo Li bit her lip and said, "You tell him, don't worry." ”
The Dark Guard nodded and quickly left.
Mo Li took a deep breath, what should come is always coming. Since Murong Chu left that day, he had only come back once in the middle of the night, but he still glanced at her in a hurry and left again.
called Mama He over, told her about the matter, and asked her to hurry up and arrange it.
It has been discussed before, in order not to attract attention, you can't take too many people away. In the end, at Mama He's insistence, it was decided that Mama Zhao, Ruoping, and Danyu would follow to serve Mo Li, and all the others would stay in the house.
The other people in the palace who were going to go together had already greeted the Duan family. As for the eldest princess, no matter what the result is, there will be no problems, so naturally there is no need to worry about it.
Mo Li took two maids and a grandmother into the carriage as usual, and first went to Dongshi Street for a walk, and then the carriage swayed out of the city.
In the grove ten miles away from the capital, Duan's mother and son had already arrived. There were also two aunts and two concubines and a concubine from the palace.
Mo Haoxian hadn't seen her aunt for a long time, and when she saw Mo Li, she wrapped around her and refused to leave.
Murong Rui saw that Mo Li was a little difficult to hold him, so he pulled a few dogtails from the grass and made a little rabbit, successfully attracting Mo Haoxian to him.
After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, Lu and Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were late with their children. Mo Li didn't say much, just ordered people to hurry on the road.
The carriage traveled more than twenty miles, and finally reached the village, and when it passed through the farmland and reached the courtyard in the col, it was nearly dusk.
Everything in the courtyard is readily available, and the rooms are clean, although it is not as spacious as when it was at home, but it is not a problem to live in the courtyard of the three entrances.
The second courtyard is relatively large, the Lu family, the two aunts and their children live in it, and Mo Li, Duan's family, and Liu's family live in the third courtyard. The Lu family naturally didn't want to live with her aunt, but the courtyard was so big, she knew that it was impossible for her to enter the courtyard alone, although her face was not very good-looking, she didn't say anything.
The steward had already ordered his subordinates to prepare supper, and everyone had eaten in their own rooms, and then rested.
The first night in the courtyard passed peacefully, and there was no movement in the direction of the capital. The next morning, Xu Dazhuang and Ruoping disguised themselves as farmers and peasant women on the Zhuangzi and went out to investigate.
Mo Li Duan sat in the courtyard and watched Jing'er chasing Mo Haoxian. Jing'er wanted to play with Mo Haoxian, but Mo Haoxian disliked her as a girl and was too young, so she was chased by Jing'er all over the garden.
"Jing'er, don't pester Young Master Xian'er." Liu settled Yi'er, came out of the house, took Jing'er into his arms, and sat down on the chair next to Mo Li.
"Princess Shizi, do you think there will really be a fight in this capital?" Liu asked worriedly.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, they'll be fine." Mo Li hooked her lips slightly, comforting Liu and herself.
Liu smiled: "Look at me, I always worry about it, which makes Mrs. Mo laugh." ”
Duan patted the back of her hand: "Wherever it is, we are all the same." ”
"Princess Shizi......" A clear voice came from the gate of the courtyard, and it was Murong Wan walking towards this side.
"Why is Wan'er here?" Mo Li asked with a smile.
Murong Wan saluted a few people, and Mo Li pointed to a chair that was still empty: "Don't be so disciplined outside, sit down." ”
