Chapter 620 Changes in the situation in the capital

When Meng Jingwen saw the tall wall of the capital on the boat, she was already in the outer suburbs of the capital of Chu State, Meng Jingwen was still a little excited in her heart, she left the capital for a few days, and she didn't know if Qiang'er missed her, and besides, Meng Lanshuang had no trouble coming to Tingxiang Jiuxie, she was thinking about it, and she heard some movement in the woods outside the suburbs of the capital, Meng Jingwen looked around, and saw a few acquaintances who had seen Sima Chang'an's mansion jump out of the mountains and forests, and now she was wearing a long jade pendant with a line of heaven on her waist. Meng Jingwen recognized that it was the Tianmen identity brand created by Mu Lingtian, and every member of Tianmen would have it.

Those few people brushed the jumping splints, half-knelt in front of Mu Lingtian to meet Mu Lingtian, and then Mu Lingtian asked them some about the situation in the court, they didn't see each other for a few days, and after hearing the tricky news from the people under them, Mu Lingtian was silent for a while, thinking to himself.

"The border matter has been resolved peacefully in accordance with the instructions of the door master, and the agreed money has been delivered to the enemy, but there is another turmoil in Dongyue, Dongyue has the meaning of making a big fuss, because An Guogong is still in poor health, the emperor has sent General Shangguan to Fusu City at the junction with Dongyue, and raised troops yesterday."

"The ministers of the court pondered the will of the saint, originally wanted to obey the will of the saint, and recommended a certain prince to go to the border to assist the Shangguan general, His Royal Highness the second prince was enthusiastic at first to recommend himself and was willing to follow, but the night before the expedition, he suffered a serious illness, it is said that he vomited blood in his mouth, and finally the emperor cherished it, so he left Mu Junsi, who had just returned, and sent the nine princes to follow the Shangguan general on the expedition."

"As for the ownership of the Sima family and the other two families in the eastern suburbs of the iron ore mine, the two forces are still clinging to it, and the previous master of the door ordered to use the strength of the DPRK and China to help the head of the Sima family complete the self-recommendation initiative, which was praised by the saint, because he expressed his mind early like the saint, not only did not take back the mining rights of the iron mine at the moment, but also postponed the discussion of this matter."

The series of messages from his subordinates also made Meng Jingwen on the side confused, and her brain was a little insufficient, but the basic meaning could still be known, and at the moment, Meng Jingwen sorted out this information one by one.

One is Dongyue's intentional invasion, in fact, from that lantern festival, it can be seen that the Dongyue Empire is ready to move, intending to touch the territory of Chu, otherwise how could it send a sect that has close contacts with the Dongyue court to the capital of Chu to make trouble, this is obviously to let people come to test the waters, in this way, there is friction on the border, and it is also reasonable, but Meng Jingwen cares about the so-called An Guogong's poor health and cannot go to the battlefield, and he is currently recuperating at another border, Meng Jiancheng's physical physique can be said to be good, It's a little strange to make up such a superficial lie at the moment, Meng Jingwen couldn't guess what Meng Jiancheng was trying to do for a while, and that Shangguan Yan, I heard that he also took the initiative to ask for help, which is a little strange, for this level of small friction, even if it is a collision between the two cities, it will not be necessary for a general of the town to go, it is inevitable that there is some fuss, so it seems that Shangguan Yan is also scheming, which makes people wonder through.

"Shangguan Yuyu and Mu Junsi have known each other since childhood, and if the two get married, this matter will be much simpler." Mu Lingtian also guessed that Meng Jingwen was so smart, and he must have thought of these strange points, so Mu Lingtian let go of the previous mustard, and now explained them to Meng Jingwen one by one.

Being reminded by Mu Lingtian like this, Meng Jingwen suddenly realized, could it be that Mu Junsi, when Shangguan Yan was appointed to go on the expedition, took the initiative to come forward to show his goodwill, intending to successfully win over Shangguan Yan, so why did he pretend to be sick in the end and let the Nine Emperor Princes go instead?

Without waiting for Mu Lingtian to answer, Nangong Wenchuan came out of the cabin, and at this time, after listening to the information reported by his subordinates, he immediately solved the doubts in Meng Jingwen's heart, and said, "Naturally, it is a state banquet that the entire Chu State celebrates. ”

The deadline for the state banquet mentioned by Princess Wen Yao before is now calculated, and it is almost approaching, but Meng Jingwen has not prepared yet, but at this time, Meng Jingwen ran away from her thoughts, recalling the meaning of the state banquet that Nangong Wenchuan said, even Nangong Wenchuan, an outsider, could see it, and Meng Jingwen naturally knew what he wanted to say.

Why is the entire Chu State celebrating, because nine times out of ten the successive Chu monarchs of the Chu State were established in the most prosperous and grand state banquet of the Chu State, in other words, this state banquet was originally a day of celebration set for the establishment of the prince of the Chu State.

Mu Junsi is trying to win over Shangguan Yan's heart, and at the same time, he also tries to dispel the emperor's suspicions, and he can stay in the capital, keeping an eye on the position of the prince who will be established at the state banquet of Chu State at all times.

"How is Mu Hao's movements?" This was asked by Mu Lingtian, and now that Mu Junsi has moved, then Mu Hao, who is hoarding troops in Yunxiao Mountain, should also take action.

However, the subordinate denied and said: "The third prince did not take too obvious measures, but just met a son of the Lu family, but this son of the Lu family acted secretly, so the subordinates couldn't find out which of the ten masters of the Lu family was this person." ”

"Why can you be sure that it is one of the ten masters of the Lu family?" Mu Lingtian questioned what had no evidence, and his subordinates immediately walked up and handed over a fan, Mu Lingtian took the fan, and then opened it, and saw ten heroic sons on it, not only the capital of Chu State, but also the five major countries who don't know that the fan depicted on it is the ten rising stars in the Lu family, and it occupied the top ten out of the 1,000 and 20 in the first examination in the capital that year, causing a sensation in the Chu State, but the Lu family has already ordered that the people of the Lu family are not allowed to buy properties in the capital, Of course, there will be no mansion, the emperor of Chu was helpless, so he ordered these ten people to be named the ten masters of the Lu family, according to the ranking, let them choose the vacant official position in any place outside the capital, which can be regarded as a compensation for the Lu family.

At that time, some people complained about unfairness, although this was a small complaint among the people, but it still reached the ears of the emperor of Chu, and the emperor immediately issued a decree, from tonight onwards, if the men in a family take the top ten in the examination, then they will be like the ten people of the Lu family, they can choose official positions outside the capital at will, and as soon as the decree comes out, it immediately causes a greater commotion, which is why the people of Chu and other four major countries will talk about this enough shocking thing when they mention the ten masters of the Lu family, They were all curious about this Lu family's ten masters.

"The ten heroes of the Lu family, each of them will wear a fan that is the same as the others, in order to commemorate this young man." So the texture in front of me doesn't look like a fake fan, it should be owned by the ten masters of the Lu family, so what is the purpose of meeting with Mu Hao? Will it be related to the state dinner?

At the moment, without specific information, it is naturally impossible to deal with it, Mu Lingtian and Meng Jingwen immediately put their minds on the second point reported by their subordinates, and the emperor has a vision of sending a prince.

"Is the Emperor already suspicious of you?" The strength of the DPRK and China is intertwined, and every point of power is implicated in many large and small things, and the emperor, as the supreme ruler of the Chu State, naturally wants to neutralize all these forces that can pose a threat to the temple, and only by maintaining the power of the civil and military officials at a balanced point can the Chu State have the so-called tranquility.

For the sake of peace and stability of his position, has the emperor already begun to take action against the prince who is too powerful? This is not impossible, this made Meng Jingwen listen to it, and she was extremely frightened, if the emperor knew that Mu Lingtian was actually in control of one of the four famous assassin organizations in the whole capital, would he also move to kill Mu Lingtian and kill Mu Lingtian? If this is the case, Meng Jingwen would rather Mu Lingtian have nothing than the so-called throne.

Is there any murderous intent, it has been dispersed with the assigned Nine Emperor Princes following Shangguan Yan's expedition, and there is no temptation from the emperor at the moment, what can be done is to beware of the emperor of Chu who is very deep in the city everywhere, lest the bravery at that time become the source of their death.

The last one is nothing more than the iron mine related to the Sima family, Meng Jingwen actually doesn't understand why Mu Lingtian wants to arrange for the minister to support the Sima family master to give up the iron mine, is it because of this, the emperor will see the loyalty of the Sima family master, so he gives up the decision to recover the iron mine, and the Sima family can recapture the iron mine?

It's simply not possible, so what can it do?

Meng Jingwen looked at Nangong Wenchuan, but Nangong Wenchuan waved his hand at this time, indicating that he couldn't understand and was very helpless, Meng Jingwen no longer expected Nangong Wenchuan to say a reason, and then looked at Mu Lingtian, he strongly advocated assisting the Sima family master to give up the iron mine, and naturally knew the meaning.

However, Mu Lingtian didn't say anything at this time, just looked at his subordinates and asked, "Recently, how is the situation of the other two families?" ”

Situations can refer to many kinds, interpersonal relationships, business, and human lives..... All of these things were included in one package, and Meng Jingwen was also surprised by Mu Lingtian's question, and then there was a faint understanding in her mind.

The subordinate then said: "The ministers of the two major families in the court are also still writing to ask the emperor to change his mind, this is not much change, to talk about change, it is worth saying that the business of the two major families in the capital seems to be colder than before, and from time to time there will be some situations, and even one or two famous shops have been ordered to stop business." ”

Sure enough, Meng Jingwen also suddenly realized a little, and immediately knew why Mu Lingtian supported the head of the Sima family to give up the iron mine before, Mu Lingtian was expecting that the emperor would secretly use some small tricks to make the business of the two families lose their income, and in the end, it would not be like these two big families, knowing that the damage would be huge, but they also had to work hard to support, the more the Sima family came out of it, the better it was, to avoid the emperor's single-mindedness, and then find another way. There will always be a way to hold on to the iron ore mine that belongs to them.
