Chapter Seventy-Six: How to Be Good
The battle of the capital soon came to an end, and when Xia Qingmang's head hung high on the city gate, the tired city defenders finally put down their weapons. In fact, they already knew about this ending, and even when they saw Xia Qingmang's head, many people were overjoyed: "It's finally over." β
Yes, it's finally over, and Mu Yi also breathed a long sigh of relief. Standing on the city gate at the southern end of the imperial city, he had a feeling of loss: "If you win, so what?"
There is no real winner in this kind of palace infighting. Xia Qingmang's army was defeated and died, the people were displaced, and the national strength of Great Xia weakened, and Tocharo in the west was probably ready to move again.
"I still care about what these do. Mu Yi shook his head with a wry smile, over the years, whether he was on an expedition or fighting in the court, there was nothing he really wanted to do. Perhaps after today's war, he will finally be able to get out of these strife.
A few days later, the capital regained some vitality. Xia Qingluan also met with Mu Yi in the small pavilion in the imperial garden in the palace. It's lush and beautiful, just in time to get rid of their killing spirit.
"This time, Great Xia was able to get rid of Xia Qingmang, a thief, and General Mu made a great contribution, and I thank the general here. Xia Qingluan was full of spring breeze.
"Mu Yi is a subject of Great Xia, these are all things. Mu Yi did not have the etiquette of a courtier, but sat at the table face to face with Xia Qingluan. Although he is still a courtier of Great Xia, he is not a courtier of Xia Qingluan, the new emperor.
Xia Qingluan also knew Mu Yi's intentions, so he just smiled and said, "General Mu, we can be regarded as sharing weal and evil, so there is no need to beat around the bush." I knew that the imperial sister had no intention of becoming emperor, and the general was just following the trend. Now that the war in Daxia has just subsided, it is really not appropriate to renew the disaster. After thinking about it, I want to be crowned the king of Pingnan, guard 500,000 mountains, and be hereditary, how about it?"
Mu Yi put down the teacup in his hand and said: "There are no two days in the sky, there are no two lords in the country, what Your Majesty said is very true, and Qingqing and I really have no heart to be called emperors." But I was able to gain a foothold in the 500,000 mountains only because of local officials and generals. If you rashly declare yourself to Your Majesty, I am afraid that people's hearts will fluctuate, and it will be difficult to suppress it, and if you make trouble, there will be another incident. β
"What does General Mu mean?" Xia Qingluan actually threw stones to ask for directions, wanting to see Mu Yi's thoughts, and he didn't want to go to war with Mu Yi again, after all, this kind of unnecessary internal friction could be avoided best.
"I have already discussed this matter with General Su and others," Mu Yi stared at Xia Qingmang, "I'm afraid that the matter of being a minister will not work." For today's plan, only Luoyan Mountain is the boundary, and the north and south are divided. Although it is not a country, they are all descendants of Great Xia, what does Your Majesty think. β
Xia Qingluan's face changed a few times, and he said in a deep voice: "So, General Mu really has the intention of being the emperor?"
"Your Majesty has misunderstood," Mu Yi shook his head, "This is the case, I plan to resign from my official position and leave this continent." β
"Oh?" Xia Qingluan's eyes flashed, "Where does General Mu plan to go, but he is going to go to sea to visit Xianshan?"
"It is inconvenient to report this matter to Your Majesty. Mu Yi shook his head, the less people know about Ruyi, the better, especially not to tell Xia Qingluan. The couch is not allowed for others to snore, even if the Rouran Army is about to leave Great Xia, Xia Qingluan will inevitably go to the people to clean it again.
"General Mu is a cultivator, I understand these things. Xia Qingluan stroked his palms and smiled, "It's just that with the ability of the imperial sister, I'm afraid I won't be able to take charge of the government." β
"Qingqing will also abdicate. Mu Yi replied, "I am asking Your Majesty for a little prince this time to inherit the unification of Southern Xia." β
"It's too child's play. Xia Qingluan frowned, he didn't expect Mu Yi to have such a plan.
"It's not a road. Mu Yi said with a smile, "General Su means to find a little prince of the first emperor to inherit the unification in Southern Xia, but I don't want Great Xia to split, there is a plan or maybe unify the two Xia in the future." β
"I'm listening. β
"I intend to take the prince under His Majesty's knees to Southern Xia to claim the emperor. When the situation eases in the future, perhaps we can slowly seek an opportunity to pay tribute to Your Majesty. Or His Majesty can appoint him as the crown prince of Northern Xia. After a hundred years of His Majesty, the north and the south will naturally be unified. β
"It's easier said than done. Xia Qingluan sighed.
"I can't take care of that. Mu Yi smiled, "That's all I can do, maybe after this time, I will never have the chance to see Your Majesty again." How to operate in the future is up to Your Majesty. β
"Good, good. Xia Qingmang raised his head and smiled, "I will choose a prince and return to Southern Xia with the general." β
In fact, the concessions made by Mu Yi are already very large, and with Xia Qingluan's talent, it is not difficult to gradually achieve the reunification of the north and the south. Although it is not easy for him to say it, his heart has already blossomed. And the prince he chose was his eldest son Xia Yuhao, who was already fourteen years old.
Fortunately, this prince doesn't look very old, otherwise it would be really difficult to hide it from Su Qi and them, Mu Yi couldn't cry or laugh. Xia Qingluan is probably afraid that the prince is too young, and he will be controlled by the courtiers when he goes to Southern Xia.
After everything was done, Mu Yi led the army back to the capital of Southern Xia, and then established Xia Yuhao as the crown prince.
"Brother, why did you find a child about the same age as me to be the prince, I feel so awkward. Xia Qinghan finished his morning and beat his sore back and complained to him. The dragon chair was too big, and she was too small to lean on the back of the chair, so she had to keep her body straight. Sitting like this for a day will inevitably cause back pain.
Mu Yi said helplessly: "Your third brother will stuff me with such a big son, and I can't help it." Bear with me a little longer, I agreed with Yue Ting that the succession ceremony will be held on the first day of the first month of next month. β
"Well," Xia Qinghan nodded obediently, "That's right, brother." I forgot to ask you, where did my aunt go? β
Mu Yi spread his hands: "I don't know, I thought I was going to have a fight with your master that day, but I didn't expect to see her at all." β
"It's also a shame that you still remember me as a master. A voice suddenly came from behind Mu Yi, he was alarmed, turned around and pointed forward with his sword, looking at the comer.
"Auntie," Before Mu Yi could react, Xia Qinghan had already pounced.
It turned out that the Dao Gu had arrived, Mu Yi thought for a while, and then put his hand into his arms, always guarding against the other party's trouble.
"Hmph, if you took my things, do you still plan to use them against me?" Mai Daogu snorted lightly, and the Hundred Beast Diagram actually broke free from Mu Yi's arms and flew into her hands.
"Ahh
"Okay, you don't have to be afraid, you will spare my life that day, and I will let you go. Otherwise, I will go to the temple with Fang Yu to take your life." Dao Gu put the Hundred Beast Diagram into her sleeve and said coldly.
Xia Qinghan saw that the two were very unfriendly and the atmosphere was very embarrassing, so he said coquettishly to Aunt Dao: "Auntie, he is someone's husband, and he has no ill will towards you." β
"He has no ill will towards me, but do you know what he did?" Dao Gu sneered, "He carried you behind your back and hooked up with other women." If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have done anything to him. β
"What?" Xia Qinghan was also stunned, and immediately smiled, "Auntie, it's nothing." The father and the emperor have a lot of concubines. β
She said this, but there was no lack of bitterness in her tone, what woman didn't want her man to spoil herself. When she said this, she was just excusing Mu Yi.
"You stupid girl," Dao Gu nodded her head dotingly, "Well, since you don't mind, it's hard to say anything as a teacher, so let's do it yourself." Then he got up and flew away.
At this moment, a pleasant voice made her retract the steps she had just taken: "Little Muzi, I'm here." β
Mu Yi, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, tensed up all over his body again, he couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hands, gritted his teeth and sighed: "If you don't come early, if you don't come late, why do you come at this time." β
A gust of incense came from outside the hall, and the person who came was none other than Nian Yi, who was practicing in the country of words and spirits. She didn't look at anyone else in the hall, took Mu Yi's hand and said happily: "Little Muzi, why haven't you gone to see people for so long, I miss you." β
Mu Yi turned his head away, he didn't need to look, he also knew the faces of Xia Qinghan and that Dao Gu.
"Another one, okay. Dao Gu sneered, "How many women are you still hiding outside." is also carrying Han'er on his back, what a good husband. β
"Who are you, and on what basis do you speak of him? Nian Yi raised her eyebrows, she had just flown from Yanling, and she only heard that Mu Yi was now the regent of Southern Xia, and she didn't know his relationship with the Empress of Southern Xia.
"Who are you," Xia Qinghan was also anxious at this time, she could tolerate Mu Yi having other women, but she couldn't stand carrying her behind her back to hide Jiaojiao in the golden house outside.
"I'm his fiancΓ©e. You, a little girl who is not fully developed, do you have any ideas?" Nian Yi straightened her chest, after all, she was a few years older, and her chest was undulating.
"You, you. Xia Qinghan saw that Nian Yi was so domineering, even if he cultivated well, his voice trembled, "I am the lady he is marrying, how dare you talk to me like this." β
"What!" this time it was Nian Yi's turn to be stunned, "What's going on." β
"Xiao Muzi, didn't she force you. Nian Yi grabbed Mu Yi's arm, a little anxious.
"Yes, yes. Mu Yi nodded hurriedly, he really had no way to marry the little princess.
"I'll just say it. Nian Yi temporarily gained the upper hand and glared at Xia Qinghan provocatively.
"Brother, how did I force you, how can you say that. Xia Qinghan was about to cry when he was aggrieved, and his eyes were red.
"No, Qingqing, I didn't mean that. Mu Yi hurriedly explained.
"Hahaha," Dao Gu laughed on her back, "both ends of the coax, all men can talk these words." There's another one, come out. She slammed the dust, and there was a loud bang in the inner hall, and an old man in his fifties raised his sword to block Dao Gu's flying needle, and shot out backwards.
"You, who are you. Mu Yi looked at this burly man with a beard on his face, like a general leading the army, but he really couldn't remember that there was such a number one person in the army.
"It's me here, Mu Yi. Then another man came out of the inner sanctum. Mu Yi's head was as big as a bucket when he saw it, and Ru Yi actually came!
