Mu Yicheng's expression was quite calm, and he couldn't see his joy or anger: "You go on." ”

"Your Majesty once asked me to find out, who sang the nursery rhyme that slandered the county lord, and the old minister originally found out that it was done by the subordinates in Zhang Geyuan's mansion, and then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Konoha insisted that it was Zhang Geyuan's instructions." Yao Hongzhi spoke very slowly, giving Mu Yicheng enough time to recall the situation at the time, "After Taohong's confession, Lao Chen went to check the matter again, and found that Mu Ye knew about this nursery rhyme as early as when it first came out, but she has been secretly pushing and stirring up the trouble. ”

Yao Hongzhi said bitterly: "Your Majesty, it is a big crime for Lord Zhang to talk about the royal family, but this is what Konoha forced him, just for the 10,000 soldiers in his hands, and the entire Zhang family was forced to a desperate situation. If she is not satisfied, will she continue to attack the innocent ministers of the DPRK? ”

At this time, it was noon, not only did there be a dragon in the imperial study to keep warm, but also put a brazier in the four corners of the hall, and ambergris incense was also burned in the Boshan furnace, but it still made people feel that the cold was pressing, which was oozing out of the bones, and the killing intent that wanted to kill people was brought.

Yao Hong saw that Mu Yicheng's face changed, and continued to strike while the iron was hot: "There is another matter, the old minister has no evidence, but he is very suspicious in his heart. Since Konoha is from the Burning Moon Army, she should know very well the combat power of Nanwan's army, how dare she only take 10,000 people to the battle? And why did the 50,000 Nanwan army, which fought all the way to the Winter Pass, lose to Konoha in just one battle? ”

Yao Hongzhi didn't say the rest of the words, but the meaning was already very clear, he was saying that Konoha was still entangled with Nan Wan, and even this time Nan Wan's unprovoked violation was likely to be her and Gu Yunlie's plan.

The military information presented by Dudong Pass was placed under Mu Yicheng's hands at this time, and the battle report that was originally good news became a poisonous snake that hissed and spit letters.

Mu Yicheng knew in his heart that there was an irreconcilable contradiction between the nobles led by Yao Hongzhi and Konoha, and he recognized Konoha for the sake of the court's checks and balances.

Whether what Yao Hongzhi said was true or what he deliberately said to suppress Konoha made Mu Yicheng realize that Konoha was not an obedient pawn.

Disobedient pawns that pose a threat to the master should be destroyed.

And there is another advantage to doing this, which is the handle presented by Yao Hongzhi himself. If he has any disobedience in the future, or threatens the royal family, Mu Yicheng can completely bring up the old matter again, and deal with him on the charge that Yao Hongzhi framed Konoha.

It's a good deal, and the price Mu Yicheng pays is nothing more than treating Konoha as an outcast.

"Aiqing means to recall Konoha immediately and let her explain it to me?" Mu Yicheng knew what kind of reply Yao Hongzhi wanted, but he asked Yao Hongzhi to say it himself.

Yao Hongzhi kowtowed again: "I, Wang Shengming, if I recall Konoha directly, it is inevitable that she will be suspicious, the rabbit will bite when she is in a hurry, let alone a military general like Konoha." It's too risky to recall her. ”

Mu Yicheng raised his hand to make him stand up and speak: "Then what does Aiqing think to do?" ”

"The old minister is foolish, letting Konoha die on the battlefield is the only way that will not damage the reputation of the royal family."

After a long silence, the coldness in the hall was even worse.

"Then, according to what Aiqing said, let the Lord of Konoha sacrifice his life for the country as soon as possible."

After Yao Hongzhi came out of the palace, he rushed to Huguo Temple non-stop.

Thirteen lying on the roof was already frozen, he didn't expect Yao Hongzhi, the old guy, to go in for so long. In order not to let the people in the house notice, he lay motionless for more than two hours.

For such a long time, only the monk in the temple had come and gone twice, and no one else had been seen.

If your Royal Highness comes, you can still go to the Buddha hall to have a look. It's just that Miss Yao Er has always been a pester, so she should still be playing at this time.

The twelve on the tree suddenly gestured to him, and the thirteen were startled and found that Yao Hongzhi had finally come out of the Buddhist hall.

Yao Hong's straight face was solemn and dignified, and Thirteen scolded in his heart: "The old immortal, with the idea of harming people, pretends to be pious in front of the Buddha." ”

Naturally, a monk in the temple led Yao Hong directly to Mu Beimo and others.

Seeing Yao Lin coming straight to Yao Hong, she unconsciously became dignified.

Mu Beimo smiled and asked, "Why has the Prime Minister prayed for so long?" Lin'er complained to me, saying that you agreed to accompany her out, but she disappeared for so long. ”

Yao Lin tugged at Mu Beimo's sleeve, and looked at Yao Hongzhi with dodgy eyes: "Dad, I didn't say that." ”

Yao Hong stretched out his hand to pat the falling snow on Yao Lin's hat, Yao Lin thought that her father was going to beat her, so she shrank into the fluffy mink collar in fright, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

"The old minister prayed in front of the Buddha for the prosperity of my Xiling country, and prayed for His Royal Highness the county lord who went out on the expedition, hoping that His Highness would return safely and victoriously as soon as possible. So it took a little more time. ”

Mu Beimo heard him mention Konoha, and his heart jumped: "The prime minister has worked hard for Xiling, and it is my Xiling's luck to have loyal ministers like this." ”

Yao Lin interrupted his father's self-humility: "Brother Prince, my father offered incense in front of the Buddha and begged Sister Ah Ye to return safely, let's also go and put on a few pillars of incense." ”

Mu Beimo nodded in agreement, and the group walked towards the main hall again.

It is a major event for the prince to offer incense and pray for blessings, although it is not a formal ritual such as worshipping the heavens and ancestors, and the temple also attaches great importance to it.

He paid incense in front of the Buddha and donated a lot of incense money to Huguo Temple. Abbot Huaihai recites the Buddha's name with his palms together to show his gratitude.

Yao Lin faced the abbot, did not dare to be presumptuous, and respectfully made a blessing salute: "I asked the master for a few days ago, I don't know if I can ask the master to explore the celestial phenomena again today and see when my sister Ah Ye can return?" ”

Since the last time Konoha came to Huguo Temple, Abbot Huaihai has kept the small note with the eight characters of Konoha written on it. When he saw Konoha for the first time, he was shocked by the evil aura on Konoha's body.

For such a young girl, the evil aura on her body actually made him feel frightened.

But after privately holding the eight characters and deducing them a few times, Abbot Huaihai was even more surprised.

Konoha's life grid is clearly seven kills, an extremely fierce life, but it is a natural star. She can bring great changes to the world, but for herself, it is a lifetime of dangerous twists and turns.

Strong will be humiliated, too rigid and easy to break. He had told Konoha about it, but Konoha didn't seem to take it to heart.

Knowing that after the wood went on the expedition, the abbot of Huaihai had calculated in front of the Buddha, knowing that this pass, in terms of Konoha, whether it was evil or auspicious, blessing or disaster, life or death, all in one thought.

It's just that he couldn't say this, and Huaihai considered his words: "The lord of Konoha has his own gods and Buddhas to protect him, and he has all the nobles to pray, so he will be fine." ”

Yao Lin listened to it, and her expression immediately had a joy that could not be concealed.

Mu Beimo was uneasy in his heart, he remembered that the last time he came, Huaihai specially called Mu Ye to the meditation room to ask about the eight characters of his birthday, and today he said such ambiguous words, which made people feel worried.

It was getting late, and the group was ready to go back to the city.

After sending the father and daughter of the Yao family back to the Yao Mansion, Mu Beimo returned to his East Palace.

He called Twelve Thirteen to his eyes: "Yao Hongzhi has been in the Buddha Hall for more than two hours today? ”

Thirteen was lying on the eaves and couldn't see what was going on in the Buddha hall, so Twelve replied: "Back to Your Highness, Yao Hongzhi has indeed been kneeling in the Buddha hall, and I am indeed reciting scriptures when I listen." ”

Mu Beimo was still uneasy in his heart, and asked the twelve to tell him everything that Yao Hong had started when he went straight to the door.

After listening to Twelve's description, Mu Beimo didn't find any problems, so he waved his hand to let the two of them retreat.

Yin Kang beside him didn't have Mu Beimo's uneasiness, and soaked the best sun-cast snow buds in the purple sand lotus pattern pot in a beautiful way: "Your Highness is too worried about the county lord these days, Yao Hongzhi put a few pillars of incense on his own Buddhist hall to eliminate his sins, where is it worth His Highness to worry about it like this." ”

Mu Beimo subconsciously retorted: "I didn't." ”

Yin Kang poured himself a cup and sipped his mouth slowly to sip tea, obviously too lazy to refute Mu Beimo.

Mu Beimo snatched the lotus pattern pot from his hand: "Konoha is just a pawn for me against those nobles, I am afraid that she will kill herself without playing any role, and it will become a loss-making deal for me." ”

"Yes, yes, you're right. Give me back the pot. Yin Kang said perfunctory words, stretched out his arm to grab the purple clay pot.

Mu Beimo opened his hand, poured some tea from the pot into the golden halo stone inkstone, took the ink on the case and grinded it slowly.

It wasn't that he was going to write anything, but he found it calming himself down.

Yin Kang shouted bitterly: "Your Highness, stop, you can forget about your wine, you put down the old minister's snow buds, I wasted a lot of effort to turn it out of the cabinet." ”

Seeing that Mu Beimo's hands kept moving, Yin Kang had already begun to beat his chest: "Your Highness, that's an inkstone, an inkstone!" Ink grinding! It's not for you to pour this mess into it. ”

Mu Beimo deliberately took off the lid of the pot in front of Yin Kang, and sniffed it lightly: "Sure enough, it is my treasured Suncast Snow Bud, I don't remember to reward it to you, and I honestly explained how you found it." ”

The atmosphere in the hall became awkward for a while, Yin Kang quietly withdrew his hand, and turned back to sitting upright, his eyebrows were full of awe-inspiring righteousness, and he was looking like a loyal minister who was ready to share the worries of his master at any time.

"Ahh——。h Your Highness, let's go back to the matter of the Lord of Konoha. "Yin Kang took care of him to the extreme.

Mu Beimo also stopped teasing him: "Comber, I brought Konoha back." I just wanted to use her, but she, she didn't do what I wanted. ”

Yin Kang didn't know about Mu Beimo and Mu Ye having a big quarrel because of Gu Yunlie, but he could guess a thing or two.

After all, he had seen with his own eyes how she lost her soul after Konoha was poisoned when she sent Nanwan.

In the past few days, only when Gu Yunlie happened to him, Konoha would lose his mind and oppose Mu Beimo.

Looking at the prince's expression, Yin Kang could only speculate on his intentions and persuasion: "Your Highness, a character like the Lord of Konoha is not like something that can be easily handled. In the opinion of the old minister, the county lord is intelligent and knowledgeable, and His Royal Highness's opinions will basically be listened to. It's just that after all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and if Your Highness wants the Lord of Konoha County to follow your wishes, it will be difficult for some strong people. ”

Mu Beimo knew that what Yin Kang said was reasonable, and he valued Konoha precisely because of her temperament. Thinking about it carefully, the only thing that Konoha disagreed with him was that he refused to fight with Gu Yunlie, which was actually not a big deal.

It's just that Konoha's attitude makes him dissatisfied, as if he is stuck in his throat.

Yin Kang saw that he was silent, opened his mouth a few times, and continued to persuade: "Your Highness, there are some things that are not in a hurry, you think Konoha is still a little girl, and she suddenly arrived in a new place, and she has to adapt to it for a few days." ”

Mu Beimo suddenly remembered something when he heard it: "Is Konoha's birthday just in these two days?" ”

Yin Kang held his head and thought for a long time: "It seems to be true, and this is the day when the county lord should be in time." ”

It was a big deal, and a grand ceremony should have been held in the palace, but Konoha was outside, and I was afraid that there would be no way to rush back.

"Comber, you have poisonous eyes, go to the storeroom and pick out a few good things and send someone to send them to her. Although I can't make a big gift, my brother should always say something. ”

Yin Kang responded, and quietly stuck out his tongue behind Mu Beimo: "I still insisted that I would use the county lord as a chess piece, and I found an opportunity to send a letter and ask a few words, so I was happy to be like this." ”

Mu Beimo turned his head: "What did you say?" ”

Yin Kangfei also ran away, his tongue was almost knotted: "The old minister said that His Royal Highness is Renze, and the old minister will go immediately!" ”

Mu Beimo let out a happy low laugh, and his depressed mood was relieved a lot.

He slowly paced to the Xiling Kanyu map hanging on the wall, carefully looked at the small Winter Pass in the lower right corner, and his mind drifted to Konoha again.

I don't know what Konoha is doing at this time.
