"Chengfeng, you really don't want to help me?"

Seeing Duan Chengfeng refuse again, Li Mujun's wide eyes were full of disbelief.

The first time she saw Duan Chengfeng, she rejected herself twice in a row.

Duan Chengfeng sighed in his heart when he saw that Li Mujun was still obsessed.

If the princes of the Dayu Dynasty are very mediocre, it would be fine, but King Xuan, King Yu, and King Chu are all heroic, even if it is the King of Ming who has failed, when he puts it down, his mood has grown.

Even if King Xuan, King Yu and King Chu are all defeated, there are still King Ming, King Heng and Emperor Yao.

Where can it be your turn to be the eldest princess!

Seeing Duan Chengfeng continue to be silent, Li Mujun couldn't help but say anxiously:

"Chengfeng, look at my current status, I am already above 10,000 people in the court, and I am only one step away from that position, do you think I will be willing?"

Alas!

Duan Chengfeng closed his eyes, not daring to meet Li Mujun's almost crazy eyes.

Is this just one step away?

He returned to the imperial court as an official for many years, and he didn't know how deep the water of the imperial court was.

Li Mujun can take this position, do you really think it is her luck?

Emperor Yao is the new emperor who was handpicked by the previous emperor, but because Emperor Yao is becoming more and more mature, several princes outside feel the danger, just in this Kyoto, belonging to Emperor Yao's base camp, poisoned, and the murderer has not been found so far!

It's not that Li Mujun is clever, and because she just fits this position, she reassures several princes outside.

Seeing Duan Chengfeng closing his eyes and being silent, Li Mujun opened his mouth, and what he originally wanted to say stopped, looking straight at Duan Chengfeng.

The two stood quietly for a long time, and in the end, Li Mujun couldn't bear it anymore, turned his back to Duan Chengfeng, and said in an extremely firm tone: "Chengfeng, this palace will not give up, even if I, Li Mujun, die, I will die vigorously!" ”

Duan Chengfeng slowly opened his eyes, looked at Li Mujun's back, flashed a wisp of tenderness, and finally his eyes turned into determination, and he said:

"Eldest princess, Weichen retired first."

Duan Chengfeng saluted Li Mujun and turned to leave.

Sensing that Duan Chengfeng was about to leave the secret room, Li Mujun still didn't turn around, his pupils were a little red, and his tone was a little cold:

"Sixteen years ago, you defeated the Liang Cang Dynasty and returned victorious, and the imperial brother once asked me if I would like to marry you!"

Duan Chengfeng's figure, who had just walked to the door, was stunned, and this sentence exploded in his head like five thunderbolts, and his face was stunned.

Li Mujun didn't seem to know what Duan Chengfeng's situation was now, and continued:

"At that time, the imperial brother said that you have both civil and military skills, and you are a pillar of talent that is difficult to find in the world, and in time you can become another pillar of the Dayu Dynasty.

At that time, I was very unconvinced, thinking that it was another political marriage, and immediately ran to the queen mother and knelt down for a day and a night, only hoping that the imperial brother would not give me to you in marriage. ”

Duan Chengfeng's figure trembled, his face raised slightly, and his pupils flashed with tears.

"Hongu knows what you think, but Hongu is ambitious, if Hongu gets married, how can he stay in Kyoto.

Therefore, Bengong has never regretted it, especially since Bengong has its current status, and it feels more and more that it was an extremely correct choice at that time. ”

Duan Chengfeng looked at the increasingly hazy scene in front of him, slowly closed his eyes, a tear slowly slipped from the corner of his eye, and his heart was like a knife!

Your Majesty, Weichen deserves death, and you are to blame!

Li Mujun turned around, looked at the trembling voice, and said with a firm expression:

"This palace knows that since the palace has been in charge of the country, it has disappointed you more and more, and the royal brother has said that you are loyal to the royal family, and I have reprimanded me for not deceiving and using you.

Today's refusal, although this palace has thought about it, I really didn't expect you to refuse.

Presumably you are also very sad in your heart at the moment, and even feel guilty about Hongu. ”

Li Mujun's eyes closed, his head tilted to other places, looked away and said:

"Hongu knows that once the next action is started, there is no turning back.

So today I tell you everything, cut off your thoughts, you don't support me, you and I don't want to contact me from now on. ”

Duan Chengfeng opened his eyes, but he didn't look back, and after being distraught, he only left a sentence, and walked away directly.

"Your Highness, don't trust the people around you easily, Weichen retires!"

After Duan Chengfeng left, Li Mujun turned around, two shallow tears appeared on his face, looked at the position where Duan Chengfeng stayed before, smiled, and said silently in his heart.

It's okay to leave, it's okay to leave.

If the palace succeeds, you will definitely be named the secretary of the military department.

If it doesn't work......

Then it doesn't work out.

For a long time, when Li Mujun sorted out his face, as soon as he walked out, the maid on the side was waiting, and when she saw Li Mujun come out, she quickly said: "Your Highness, Lord Tao came to visit, and I have been waiting in the palace for a long time." ”

Tao Xin, an official of the imperial court, was the one who had always supported Li Mujun in his early days, and won the trust of Li Mujun, and was now promoted by Li Mujun to Hubu Langzhong.

Li Mujun's eyes moved, and he asked:

"When did Master Tao come?"

Li Mujun asked as he walked.

"Report to Your Highness, Lord Tao arrived as soon as you entered." The maid next to her followed Li Mujun's footsteps and replied.

"So fast!"

After a while, Li Mujun returned to the main hall,

A tall, thin, goatee-bearded man in the main hall quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"Your Highness, according to the news from the imperial army, King Heng and Shangguan Zhenyu have already investigated the details of Fengding City, and they plan to attack Fengding City tomorrow." Tao Xin saw Li Mujun walk in, and said directly, without dragging mud and water.

When Li Mujun heard this, her face moved slightly, the imperial army had moved, then it was not far from the big war, and she had to prepare as soon as possible.

After thinking about it, Li Mujun sat back on the main seat in a few steps, looked at Tao Xin and said:

"Now that Wan'er has successfully won over one of the leaders of the Dark Guard, how are you preparing over there?"

Tao Xin was one of the few subordinates she trusted, and her next plan was not hidden from him.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the arrangements have been made, and those officials of King Heng in the imperial court will not be aware of it." Tao Xinyu reports.

"Good."

Li Mujun's spirit was shocked, revealing a trace of joy.

Tao Xin below had a solemn face and did not smile because of Li Mujun's praise, but said solemnly:

"Your Highness, I wonder how the commander's side is preparing?"

As the commander who led the army to attack Yangzhou and Liangzhou is the top priority, whether it is the candidate or the offensive plan, it must be arranged, and once the time is ripe, he will immediately lead the army to attack Yangzhou.

"This ............"

Li Mujun's face was a little gloomy, originally she had already determined Duan Chengfeng as the commander of the army, he was both capable and reassuring, he was simply the best candidate.

But just now Duan Chengfeng rejected himself, and he didn't want to force Duan Chengfeng to join.

Therefore, the commander-in-chief who will lead the troops has not yet been determined.

Li Mujun was a little dazed in her heart, she suddenly found that except for Duan Chengfeng, there seemed to be no commander under her command who was both capable and trustworthy.

Tao Xin saw Li Mujun's expression, and his solemn face gradually frowned:

"Your Highness, haven't you thought of a candidate yet?"

Li Mujun saw Tao Xin's solemn eyes, and hurriedly explained:

"The choice of this commander is the most important thing, and this palace naturally needs to consider it carefully."

However, Tao Xin's brows did not loosen, as an old man who followed Li Mujun's side, he naturally knew the situation between Duan Chengfeng and Li Mujun, so he arched his hand and said:

"Your Highness, Weichen thinks that Lord Duan, the squire of the military department, can be the commander, this person is loyal to the imperial court, and he is brave and good at fighting, and his military achievements are outstanding."

"Take ......, Lord Duan can't do it, and this palace doesn't plan to appoint him." Li Mujun shook his head directly and said.

Tao Xin's pupils shrank, and he raised his head in surprise.

Li Mujun knew what Tao Xin was thinking, and was a little embarrassed and coughed lightly:

"Ahem, Master Tao, do you think there are any other good candidates besides Duan Chengfeng?"

Tao Xin put away his surprised expression, and his face gradually became solemn.

There are indeed many good generals in the court, but Taiwei took a batch, and King Heng took another batch.

Now there are very few commanders in the imperial court who can competently conquer Yangzhou.

Capable enough generals, they are difficult to trust, and once the news is revealed, it will be a catastrophe for them.

The most ideal result is that King Yu directly shook hands with the King of Chu and made peace, retreated and returned to Yangzhou, and defended heavily.

The worst result is that King Yu and King Chu cooperate to attack Zhongzhou on both sides.

And the generals who can be trusted, the ability is insufficient, and the elite soldiers and strong generals who stay in Yangzhou to guard Yangzhou are not something that ordinary people can break, not to mention the fifth Chengmeng who guards in Liangzhou.

Li Mujun saw Tao Xin's solemn face, her eyes were gloomy, and she was a little distressed in her heart, she was also thinking about this problem.

"Your Highness, why don't we try to invite Uncle Taishi!"

"Taishi Shuming?"

Li Mujun's eyes flashed!

One of the top ten generals of the Dayu Dynasty, Taishi Shuming, with him, he will definitely be able to take Yangzhou, and even solve the fifth Chengmeng in Liangzhou!

But she quickly shook her head again, and even said a little angrily: "No, since the imperial brother summoned him back to Beijing, he has been cowering in the mansion, no one has seen him, this palace has secretly invited him many times, but he has avoided it again and again, this palace asked him to attack Yangzhou, he will not make a move, and if he moves, he will definitely alarm the entire Kyoto." ”

"This ......" Tao Xin also fell silent, this is indeed the case.

"Alas!"

Li Mujun kept sighing, in her opinion, Duan Chengfeng was a very suitable person, and he commanded the elite soldiers of the imperial court, and he could definitely take Yangzhou, and then defeat the fifth Chengmeng.

Looking at Li Mujun's dejected appearance, Tao Xin's eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something, and said quickly:

"Your Highness, why don't we let Fang Wukui attack Yangzhou and Liangzhou!"

"Fang Wukui?"

Hearing this name, Li Mujun frowned, shook his head directly, and said: "No, Fang Wukui is now fighting in Qingzhou, without Fang Wukui, Qingzhou is only afraid that it will be taken by the Chu sisters and the Yanzhou Alliance, and the situation in the southwest will change in an instant." ”

He is not really stupid, Li Yao nailed the Qingzhou of Fang Wukui's faction like a big nail to the four southwestern states, making the Zhenguo Mansion and the Yanzhou Alliance extremely jealous, and even King Xuan could not act rashly.

Tao Xin's eyelids moved slightly, and when he saw Li Mujun directly refused, he raised his head and said:

"Your Highness, you have misunderstood what Wei Chen meant, and your subordinates mean that you want you to replace Fang Wukui."

"Swap it out?" Li Mujun looked at Tao Xin in surprise: "Change Fang Wukui down, who will you send to Qingzhou?" ”

"Taishi Shuming!"

Tao Xin replied with his head down, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

"Change Uncle Taishi to replace Fang Wukui?"

Li Mujun couldn't help but straighten up when he heard this thought, but quickly shook his head and said:

"It's not proper, there is Fang Wukui in Qingzhou, we are much more at ease with King Xuan and Zhenguo Mansion."

Fang Wukui was like a needle in the southwest.

In the face of Li Mujun's refusal, Tao Xin was not surprised, but continued to persuade:

"Your Highness, my subordinates think this plan is feasible."

"Your Highness, think about it, King Xuan has obtained the million army of the Taiwei, the forces of the Zhenguo Mansion have been defeated and retreated, and Fang Wukui has also suppressed the Chu sisters and the Yanzhou Alliance, so that they can't support the Zhenguo Mansion.

If nothing else, King Xuan is likely to be able to defeat Chu Junxiong!

Would you like to see King Xuan defeat Chu Junxiong so quickly? ”

When Tao Xin talked about King Xuan, Li Mujun's face was furious.

Under Duan Chengfeng's secret reminder, she had already understood the conspiracy between King Xuan and Taiwei, and King Xuan's plan directly made her lose face and become the object of ridicule of the whole world, and the imperial court strength was even less than half.

This damn King Xuan, sooner or later he will have to settle accounts with him.

Tao Xin saw Li Mujun's appearance, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and continued:

"Your Highness, think about it, if we withdraw Fang Wukui and let Fang Wukui take away some of the troops, replace Uncle Taishi Ming, and let him switch from attack to defense, in this way, the Chu sisters and the Yanzhou Alliance will have a chance to breathe, and they will definitely be eager to support the Zhenguo Mansion.

The Zhenguo Mansion received reinforcements, and King Xuan would not win too quickly.

We will have more time to take Yangzhou and Liangzhou, and when Fang Wukui defeats the fifth Chengmeng and takes Liangzhou, and then let him attack Yanzhou from Liangzhou, it will be a lot of wins with one stone! ”

When Li Mujun heard this, he was suddenly a little shaken in his heart, and his eyes turned, thinking about weighing the pros and cons.

If Fang Wukui leads his troops to attack Yangzhou, he is definitely a very suitable candidate.

Li Mujun pondered for a while and said, "However, what reason do we use to exchange Fang Wukui back and let Taishi Shuming go up." ”

Tao Xin saw that Li Mujun was loose, his eyes were happy, and he said quickly:

"Your Highness, we can use Fang Wukui's failure to take Qingzhou for a long time to make a fuss about replacing Fang Wukui, and others will only think that we want to make some trouble for King Xuan, what we promulgated is the will of the imperial court, and Fang Wukui will not accept it."

"What about Taishi Shuming, how can we move him?" Li Mujun asked again.

"Your Highness, don't worry about this, there is always some competition between famous generals and famous generals, we represent the decree of the imperial court, which represents the righteousness, let Taishi Shuming replace Fang Wukui, it shows that Taishi Shuming is stronger than Fang Wukui here.

If Tai Shi Shuming does not accept it, it will be a protest, and it will make others think that Tai Shi Shuming thinks that he can't compare to Fang Wukui.

In addition, Kyoto is a place of right and wrong, we have visited Taishi Shuming many times, and he will also be distressed, there is such a good opportunity to leave Kyoto, and it is just such a simple task as defending Qingzhou, Taishi Shuming will not refuse. ”

Li Mujun's face was happy, and he felt that what Tao Xin said was very reasonable.

Just when Tao Xin thought that Li Mujun was going to agree, he didn't expect Li Mujun to suddenly say:

"Master Tao, your method is good, when Wan'er comes back, the palace will discuss it with her."
