Chapter 52: Take the initiative to ask for help
When Murong Chen heard his slightly meaningful words, he immediately opened his mouth domineeringly, he had never liked something but it didn't belong to him.
Jing Yixuan smiled, his smile was gentle, elegant, like a clear spring, extinguishing the anxiety of people who don't know when to come, he glanced at the small courtyard that was sheltered by the woods, presumably the owner here had already returned to the room, and maybe would sit down and drink a pot of good tea with his maidservant, while chatting about the interesting things that happened today, at this time, she must have lost her guard and vigilance, her brows must have been stretched, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her bright Danfeng eyes were also full of smiles.
Murong Chen didn't like that he was so happy after hearing what he said. Although Murong Chen looks like he is indisputable from the world, he always wears a smiling mask, but ...... He snorted coldly, no one knew this person better than him. He seems to be taciturn and unsociable, but he is cautious and wise, and he is calm.
"Yixuan, is the injury healed?"
"Seventh brother, the vision is really accurate," Jing Yixuan replied with a smile, there was no surprise that he would know about his injury, even if there was no one to talk about it that day. "Seventh brother, let's get to know the wolf's teeth."
"The little thing? Well, the day I saw it. ”
"How dare Seventh Brother do it? Last night, my brother searched for him all night. Guess what Wolf Fang said when he came back? ”
The two talked and chatted, at this time there were a lot fewer people on the road, occasionally a few people walked past them, and they didn't stop for a moment, each family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and there will be fewer people to worry about other people's affairs?
Although the words of these two people were numerous, the atmosphere was unexpectedly peaceful. The wind has faded a lot, only some of the excess is still too lazy not to leave, and I also want to take a look at this red dust man and woman, taste the earthly style, blow up the sleeves of the two, and make a slight friction sound, like an accompaniment before a feast.
Without hearing the other party's answer, Jing Yixuan looked at Murong Chen's increasingly evil smile, but his face did not change at all, and he looked like a gossip, "Wolf Tooth said that he met Seventh Brother you the day he came out of the mountain, I don't know what happened to Seventh Brother looking for Wolf Tooth, and he is so anxious?"
"Did he tell you how he met me that day?"
Jing Yixuan shook his head, "Wolf Tooth said that he smelled your scent, but he didn't see you, it was another person who arrested him, presumably that person was Brother Qi's subordinate." ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Murong Chen's eyes, "That little guy's nose is quite smart, you can smell it from such a distance," he said, and he glanced at the man walking next to him with disdain, "It's not like some people, even if they have fought in person, they can't recognize it." ”
This person is also unconscious, and he doesn't have the slightest nervousness of being caught, and that's right, he Murong Chen has grown so big, and he hasn't encountered anything that makes him busy messing up, even if he kills someone, it's a matter of drinking saliva, where will there be the slightest nervousness about a party or 'attempted arrest'?
However, although he said it simply, he had already thought about it in his heart, and sure enough, he heard Jing Yixuan's words, "Seventh Prince, I don't know what you want to do when you grab the wolf's teeth, but as long as I Jing Yixuan is here, I will try to protect him." Also, please don't meddle in my Jing family's family affairs. ”
Now that he has admitted it, it is not difficult to guess that the opponents he met several times before were all sent by him, and the most likely person was his Seventh Prince himself, because he had a similar martial arts routine to the person who grabbed the wolf's teeth.
After saying this, the two had already reached the fork, Jing Yixuan only took the opening sentence of Murong Chen at this time, his face was full of the same smile as usual, but his eyes were clear without a trace of impurities, as if the clearest pool of water, at a glance, he could see it thoroughly, "Seven princes, Momo is probably the most hated is the palace." ”
Murong Chen looked at his back as he walked away, stood there for a long time, and did not go back to the Seven Princes' Mansion, but went to the palace instead, and rarely stayed there for half a day, and when he went back, it was already dark.
And the General's Mansion, Ye Qianmo also took away the worried green willow and red cherry, held the letter in his hand and read it for a night, went to King Xuan's Mansion early the next morning, and changed into the county lord's clothes that he wore during the worship, and followed King Xuan to the court.
The emperor looked at the trembling ministers in the court, although there was some fire in his heart, but he was also inseparable from what he thought, so he temporarily unveiled it, and asked again, "Love, who automatically invited Ying to Yizhou?" ”
Most of the ministers didn't speak, only a few juniors moved, looking like they were going to do a big job, but Emperor Murong Ming didn't even look at them, only stared at King Xuan who was standing in the first place.
Most of those juniors are the children of official eunuchs, and the family has been officials for many generations, and the relationship between the court and the court is already complicated, with the meaning of 'pulling a hair and moving the whole body'. Standing beside them for a long time, the 'well-wishers' who knew the way of officialdom immediately and quietly conveyed the information imperceptibly, pulling the sleeves in front of them, stepping on the boots behind them, and shaking their heads at the distance.
The court was biting its ears, only a few people in front of him were there, as if they didn't see anything abnormal, including the left and right phases, and King Xuan, who was staring at.
"King Xuan, I will send three hundred Imperial Forest Army to follow you to Yizhou, what do you think?" Murong Ming's eyes were gloomy, his tone was resolute, and he looked unquestionable.
But there are still objections, but this person is the most reassuring person for the emperor - Zuo Xiang.
"The minister has objections."
"Left Phase?" Murong Ming lay down on the dragon chair, looked at him and said, "Let's hear it." ”
/ "Your Majesty, there was a riot among the people in Yizhou, but the sin was not in the people. It is because of the lawlessness of the officials, the fish and the flesh of the people, and the protection of the officials and officials, so that the people have nowhere to complain, and the people are not happy, it is really official coercion/civil rebellion! It is true that people should be sent to investigate and deal with these corrupt officials, these traitorous people who eat the people's food but do not do things for the people, but Xuan is very old after all, and a few days ago he was too worried about his love for his grandson to seek medical treatment, and his body is not as big as before, and Yizhou is a remote and barbaric place, located in a remote area, and the climate is humid, and King Xuan is not suitable to go to Yizhou to quell the chaos. ”
As soon as Zuo Xiang's words came out, there was a sudden sound of discussion in the court, and most of the people were gossiping that King Xuan was indeed not suitable for travel. But Zuo Xiang stopped making a sound, and stood quietly aside, so that what he said just now did not come from his mouth.
Although the left minister did not participate in any partisan disputes, no one could shake his position in Daxing, which shows that his methods were extraordinary. Only a small pebble was thrown, but it broke a stagnant water.
Murong Ming frowned and looked at the early dynasty like a vegetable market, and scolded: "What do you have to say out loud, what kind of system is this!" Waiting until everyone stopped talking, they looked at the right minister and asked, "Xia Aiqing, what do you think?" ”
"Although King Xuan is physically inconvenient, the matter of Yizhou is urgent, and the minister thinks that King Xuan has led the troops to fight many times, and they have won a great victory, and he is the best candidate to quell the chaos, and the minister implores the emperor to send King Xuan to Yizhou to quell the chaos, in order to save the people there from fire and water."
"Can you not take care of King Xuan's body? Right Minister, you can't pretend to be a public servant! Zuo Xiang scoffed.
The concubine of the right minister is General Ye's second wife, Xia.
"You're spewing blood! also asked the emperor to be the master of the minister, the minister is really loyal. The right minister was annoyed and angry, Xia's affairs have been his heart disease for so many years, and a good concubine has become someone else's concubine.
However, back then, he also tried his best to persuade him, but who called his daughter arrogant, she had to marry that person, she obviously had a better choice, the young lady of the dignified family, there are not many good sons in the world for her to choose.
"Okay, the left and right are also loyal. However, what the right minister said is also reasonable, Zhong Aiqing, do you have any objections? Murong Ming asked casually as if he didn't care.
However, the ministers below all heard the Tao, where is there any opposition, even the left minister no longer speaks, and the emperor is determined to be like King Xuan.
"Then send three hundred royal forest troops, plus two palace doctors to follow King Xuan to ......"
"Slow ......"
King Xuan, who had not said a word from beginning to end, interrupted Murong Ming's words at this time.
Murong Ming's face was full of seriousness, his eyes were full of displeasure after being interrupted, and he looked dangerously at King Xuan who was kneeling in the center of the hall, "King Xuan, do you want to resist the decree?" ”
At this time, the needle drop in the court could be heard, and the ministers all watched the next development, but they didn't dare to say a word.
"The old minister didn't dare. Since the death of the emperor, the old minister has made up his mind not to lead the troops to fight,"
"It's from promotion, you can't generalize."
"The minister also knows that the matter in Yizhou is urgent, however, the old minister's body is not enough to take on this important task, but he is afraid that he will be disappointed in the ...... of the Holy Trust."
"I forgive you for your innocence."
One sentence after another, one sentence after another.
"But the minister recommends a person, and the old minister wishes that this person will be guaranteed and be held accountable for joint crimes."
"Oh? Who. ”
King Xuan paused for a moment, thinking of the conversation this morning, he sighed secretly in his heart, that's it, the children have grown up, raised his head to look at the emperor on the dragon chair, and said, "This person is General Ye...... 's daughter, granddaughter of the minister, Ye Qianmo. ”
As soon as King Xuan's words fell, the hall that was still silent just now sounded with controversy, and a trace of surprise flashed in Zuo Xiang's eyes, and he looked at King Xuan thoughtfully. This is an old fox, how could he put his granddaughter in danger? What the hell is this old guy doing?
Murong Ming smiled gloomily and flicked his sleeves, "Xuan Ye Qianmo has come to see you, King Xuan, you should also get up." ”
Listening to the little eunuch's unique shrill voice, Ye Qianmo entered this gathering place of the highest power in Daxing for the first time, and saw the emperor who was high up for the second time, and he was also his biggest opponent at this time. I haven't seen him for many days, and the emperor sitting on the dragon chair looks a lot older, so he has the appearance he should have at his age.
Murong Ming looked at the girl in red who was standing there straight, she was a little more beautiful, but ...... But she is no longer like her mother, these days, it seems that she has grown up in a corner that she can't see, out of her control, yes, it is this feeling that Murong Ming reacted to the reason for his discomfort.
Compared with the glamorous leakage at the flower appreciation banquet, this time she seems to have converged everything overnight, low-key, introverted, but she does not tolerate underestimation. The more unobtrusive things tend to give you the most fatal blow.
Murong Ming squinted his eyes and glanced at the ministers, then turned back to stare at Ye Qianmo, "You want to go to Yizhou for King Xuan, do you know that since the establishment of Daxing, there have only been a handful of people who have led the troops to fight as women, and they are all talented people, what can you do to make me believe in you and hand over my three hundred imperial forest army in Daxing to you?" ”
"The courtiers are willing to go alone, without any generals from the emperor, and they are willing to make a military order, if they can't put down the rebellion," she turned a deaf ear to the uproar she caused in the court, looked at Murong Ming, and spoke very slowly, which could be described as a word, "Ye Qianmo will be at the disposal of the emperor." ”
This is what Ye Qianmo has thought about a long time ago, since the emperor wants to get rid of his grandfather, how can he easily give up the idea of letting his grandfather go to Yizhou, only by using himself as bait and putting himself in the most dangerous situation will there be a chance of change. She can't, let alone watch her grandfather go to death, her grandfather's body is not to mention fighting, and it is not even known whether she can reach Yizhou safely.
"Qianmo," Ye Haoyu was startled, although he had heard about this matter beforehand, but he didn't know that she was so bold, this was simply lifeless, and hurriedly knelt down on the top of the main hall, and pleaded guiltily: "Your Majesty, the courtiers are young and ignorant, please forgive the emperor, please take back the emperor's order, and the ministers are willing to go to Yizhou." “
"Ye Aiqing doesn't know about this either, Qianmo, this girl is really bold," Murong Ming reversed the majesty just now, and said with a smile: "It's really a young talent, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, since this girl wants to break through, Ye Aiqing doesn't have to stop her, when the time comes, she will blame you for taking care of it more, hahaha......"
"Your Majesty ......" This is Ye Haoyu's urgent cry.
Murong Ming waved his hand, "Ye Aiqing doesn't need to say much, I have already decided on this girl's request." Zhang Wuda, pass the decree, Ye Qianmo will be in charge of all matters there after arriving in Yizhou, and be sure to show my great prestige and change Yizhou to a clear and clear state. I promise here that when Ye Qianmo returns, I will fulfill one of her requests. Alright, Ye Qianmo,"
"The minister is here."
"Let's go tomorrow."
The two sisters of the Xia family and the Ye family soon learned the news.
The three of them were half happy and half worried, worried that her accident would affect the general's mansion, and they hoped that something would happen to him. When they came to the study, Ye Haoyu, King Xuan and Ye Qianmo were talking.
“…… Qianmo, what did you say to me when you left, you said that you would ensure your safety, but now, you want to go to that barbarian land alone, do you know that there are so many people in the court, why no one is willing to go there, that is because the people there are not disciplined at all, the court has some rules, and they themselves have a set of standards, you go there as a girl, this is not looking for death! Ye Haoyu paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, frowning and counting Ye Qianmo, the more he talked, the more annoyed he became, "At least, you should also ask the emperor for troops." ”
"Father, you calm down," Ye Qianmo was not as anxious as him, "Don't you see what the emperor has in mind, although my grandfather is idle at home, regardless of the government, but the emperor is still suspicious and jealous of my grandfather, this time, I just want to get rid of my grandfather, how can Qianmo watch it?" Also, if the three hundred Imperial Forest Army mentioned by the emperor really exists, it must be some old, weak, sick and disabled, and it will not be effective at all, and I am afraid that it will be charged with improper command. ”
King Xuan sighed, "There are no eggs under the nest, the emperor has long been afraid of King Xuan's mansion, and now he finally can't hold it back," he smiled bitterly, "I accompanied the emperor to fight on the battlefield, but in the end, I ended up like this, hey, the rabbit died and the dog cooked, and the bird was hidden." ”
The people outside the door who heard this were all startled, the movement was loud, and the curtains rang, but it was very obvious in the gap between the pauses.
"Who, come out." Ye Haoyu's eyes were like swords, and he looked at the door.
The Xia family and the Ye family sisters walked out cautiously and saw King Xuan sitting on the right seat looking at them.
"Master, Xuan ...... Rajah. Xia calmed down his heartbeat slightly, and saluted with a smile, "I just heard about the emperor's will, come and take a look, Qian...... Is the eldest lady really going to Yizhou? ”
"Hmph, the emperor's holy decree has been issued, can it still be fake? Okay, you guys go back first, we still have some things to discuss, Qianmo will leave tomorrow. ”
After the Xia family left, the three of them discussed in the house for a few hours, but they didn't know whether they were hungry or thirsty, and when they came back to their senses, the sky was already dark.
King Xuan looked at Ye Qianmo reluctantly and patted her head, "Child, be careful, if you can't do it, come back immediately," Speaking of this, a fierce look appeared in his eyes, "You also heard what Prime Minister Zuo said in the court, official/forced people/anti-......"
"Grandpa," Ye Qianmo knew what he was about to say, "Don't act rashly, don't think about that if you are not completely sure, don't worry, I will come back safely," she smiled, "I am still reluctant to be here, I don't want to leave." ”
King Xuan only thought she was coquettish and didn't think much about it.
The next day, Ye Qianmo got up early in the morning, did not alarm King Xuan and General Ye, who were still sleeping, and left the General's Mansion with Green Willow and Red Ying, and left the capital after the same round of Jianxiong and Jianying in the inn.
But not long after leaving, I met Qing Yao who was sitting on a branch and waiting.
"Sister Qianmo, hehe, I've been waiting here for a long time." Qing Yao jumped down from the tree, greeted a few people with a smile, and led the horses that were leisurely grazing on the side, looking like they were going to follow.
Except for Ye Qianmo, a few people had never seen this sweet-looking girl, Ye Qianmo briefly introduced it, and looked at her with a frown, "Murong Chen sent you?" ”
"Sister, Your Highness sent me out to experience the experience, and after hearing about you, I will wait for you here."
"No," Ye Qianmo refused, "It's too dangerous there." ”
"Danger, Your Highness just sent me along," she muttered quietly, and then, looking at her with a smile, "Sister, you forgot, I'm a master of poison, and Yizhou is a good place to find medicinal herbs, take me there, I promise," she raised her hand, "I must listen to you, you let me go east, I must not go south," she can go west, hehe."
"Take her with you, miss, there are many people who use poison in Yizhou."
When Qing Yao heard this, her eyes lit up, she looked at Jian Xiong who was sitting on the horse, and said with a smile, "You are so good, thank you." ”
"It's okay to take you, but you can tell me the real purpose of Murong Chen letting you follow me first."
Qing Yao hesitated, and whispered, "I said it, you can't be angry with me, this is His Highness's original words," said and glanced at her cautiously, and saw her nodding, before closing her eyes and saying in one breath, "Spy on you, stop you, and mess with flowers." ”
