Chapter 383: The Secret of the Northern War
Mu Qiuye didn't know where the Yin Clan's private army and the Qingjia Army were as Mu Xiayan said, but he still believed it.
After all, Mu Xiayan was able to tell him all the secrets of the Yin Clan, which showed that he had no intention of hiding anything from him.
"Then since the Qingjia Army is the army of our Yin Clan, it should logically be under your control, why do you rather not know where they are?"
Even if Mu Qiuye didn't doubt what Mu Xiayan said, he still had to ask what the situation of the Qingjia Army was now.
"Speaking of this question, then I have to tell you about the rules of our Yin Clan."
Mu Xiayan immediately explained to Mu Qiuye.
"Although nominally, the Sizheng of Zongzheng Temple is also the patriarch of the Yin Clan, but Sizheng can only be responsible for managing the affairs of Zongzheng Temple, and the Qingjia Army has been managed by other members of the Yin Clan, and it is managed by the Great Elder."
"Uncle Xia Yan, do you mean that the Qingjia Army is managed by Grandpa Chunsheng?"
Xia Qiu felt a little incredible.
He had always only thought that Mu Chunsheng was just an ordinary old man, at most, his lifespan was longer than others.
In fact, this is already a matter of course in the eyes of the Yin people, because the successive Yin elders have a little longer lifespan than other people.
For this reason, Mu Qiuye also consulted Mu Chunsheng on this issue.
And the answer given by Mu Chunsheng is because of his law of life, no desires and no desires.
Now it doesn't seem to be that the case at all.
"That's right, now the Qingjia Army is managed by your Chunsheng grandfather."
Mu Xiayan replied in the affirmative.
"So, if I inherit your temple position in the future, I still don't have the opportunity to know the specific situation of the Qingjia Army?"
Mu Qiuye asked a little unwillingly.
"Nope! You may have a chance to know! โ
Mu Xiayan shook his head and said.
"What chance?"
For Mu Qiuye, when the royal family is now preparing to make a move on Zongzheng Temple, if he can master an army, he can feel a little more at ease.
"Hehe, this will be until you step down from the position of the temple and take over as the Great Elder."
Mu Xiayan obviously saw Mu Qiuye's thoughts, so he said with a smile.
"When is this going to be?"
Mu Qiuye obviously felt too late about the opportunity that Mu Xiayan said.
"This is our clan rule that cannot be changed."
Mu Xiayan said firmly.
"Why did the ancestors make such rules? In today's situation, if there is any emergency, is it not equivalent to tying one's hands and feet to be slaughtered? โ
Mu Qiuye said with some dissatisfaction.
"Actually, this rule was not set at the beginning, this rule involves another secret of my Yin Clan."
"Oh! What secret? โ
Mu Qiuye is now very interested in the secrets of the Yin Clan.
After all, the first secret that Mu Xiayan said just now had already shocked him, and he was now very much looking forward to the next secret.
"This secret is much more disgraceful than the identity of the ancestor."
Mu Xiayan moved his body when he said this, and then slowly spoke.
"Dishonorable?"
"That's right, in fact, to put it bluntly, this matter is a scandal of our Yin Clan, and it can even be regarded as a scandal of the entire Mu clan."
Mu Xiayan swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty.
And Mu Qiuye was already frowning at this time, but he was looking forward to it even more in his heart.
"Speaking of this, I have to mention the battle between the north and the south."
"What does this matter have to do with the battle between the north and the south? Could it be that there are still some unknown things in this battle between the north and the south? โ
At this time, Mu Qiuye already felt that there might be a huge secret in the battle between the north and south of Yu that outsiders did not know.
"That's right, although the battle between the north and south of Yu was said on the surface, it was because the last emperor of Beiyu, Emperor Shengyang, was mediocre and made the people in the world miserable, and the founding emperor of Nanyu, Emperor Shengzong, couldn't stand it and raised troops, but in fact, this is another insider."
Mu Xiayan said slowly.
"Do you mean to say that this war between the north and the south was caused by our Yin clan?"
Mu Qiuye opened his mouth wide and said incredulously.
"That's right, in fact, the culprit of the entire North-South Yu War was the Zongzheng Temple at that time."
When Mu Xiayan mentioned this name, Mu Qiuye clearly felt the anger in his tone.
"At that time, our Yin Clan was not as good as it is now, and the management and command of the Qingjia Army was still in the hands of the patriarch."
Mu Xiayan let out a long sigh, sorted out his emotions, and continued.
"You also know that the most terrible thing in this world is not that people have ambitions, but that people have ambitions after they have enough power."
"Could it be that the ancestor of Mu Chunjiu wanted to overthrow the royal family at that time and then become the emperor himself?"
"If that were the case, I wouldn't have said it was a scandal."
Mu Xiayan said angrily.
"Then what did the ancestor of Mu Chunjiu do to cause Nanyu and Beiyu to start a big war?"
Mu Qiuye now felt that his heartbeat was starting to beat wildly with Mu Xiayan's narration.
This tense and exciting feeling made him feel extremely excited.
"At that time, Mu Chunjiu really wanted to replace Beiyu, but he didn't want to start a war, after all, the Dayu Dynasty is our Mu family anyway, once the two sides fight, the Dayu Dynasty will definitely be greatly damaged, which will not benefit anyone."
"What did the ancestor of Mu Chunjiu think of?"
Although judging from the later situation, Mu Chunjiu's plan must have failed, Mu Qiuye still wanted to know what method Mu Chunjiu had thought of at that time.
"Humph! To say that this Mu Chunjiu is also a talent, the method he came up with is really a bit lacking in morality! โ
Mu Xiayan was very unkind to himself in this ancestor.
"Why did Uncle Xia Yan say that?"
Mu Qiuye also felt that something was wrong with this matter.
"When I tell me what Mu Chunjiu did, you will be as angry as me."
Mu Xiayan was already so angry that he got up from his chair at this time.
"In fact, Emperor Shengyang was originally an eloquent emperor, and in the early days of his reign, he had always governed the country very well, and the people's lives were quite good."
"How is this possible, I remember that Emperor Shengyang was recorded in the history books as a tyrant and a faint monarch?"
Mu Qiuye didn't believe that such an emperor recorded in the history books would be a Ming monarch in the early stage.
"Humph! If you really want to know about an emperor, the best way is to read his living notes. โ
"Uncle Xia Yan, aren't you joking, the emperor's living note, even the emperor himself can't see it, how can ordinary people see it?"
Mu Qiuye nodded helplessly with a wry smile.
"Yes, under normal circumstances, only later historians can be qualified to watch the emperor's daily notes, but when they write history books, they can more or less hide some things because of their respective positions, and the general aspect of Emperor Shengyang's talent is something that later historians can hide."
When it comes to the history book, Mu Xiayan is disdainful.
In his opinion, these guys are just some sycophants cultivated by Confucianism.
Their greatest role is to conceal evil and promote good, and to promote and deify the royal family.
Mu Qiuye very much agreed with Mu Xiayan's evaluation of those historians.
"Since Emperor Shengyang was so eloquent at the beginning, why did he become so tyrannical and unreasonable in the later period? Could it be that this is also deliberately made up by the historians? โ
Mu Qiuye asked puzzled.
"It's not that Emperor Shengyang is indeed very brutal in the later period, and even the reality may be even more serious than what is recorded in the history books."
Mu Xiayan shook his head.
"So Emperor Sheng Yang suddenly changed from the Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch to the Tyrant of the Faint Monarch?"
Mu Qiuye felt that this matter was very strange.
After all, a person does not suddenly change his temperament for no reason.
Like Emperor Shengyang, who suddenly changed from a bright monarch to a faint monarch, there must be an unknown secret in it.
"This matter will be blamed on Mu Chunjiu."
Mu Xiayan snorted coldly.
"It was the ancestor of Mu Chunjiu who made Emperor Shengyang's temperament change greatly?"
"That's right, it's a bastard, if it weren't for him, Emperor Shengyang might be a rare Ming Jun in Beiyu, and the later Nanyu would not have a chance to replace Beiyu."
"What did the ancestor of Mu Chunjiu do to make Emperor Shengyang, who is the emperor, change his temperament greatly?"
Mu Qiuye thought about it carefully, he felt that no matter what, the temple of Zongzheng Temple was unlikely to make the emperor's temperament change greatly? Unless it's Mu Chunjiu who has a spell.
"Humph! Didn't I say it just now, Mu Chunjiu originally wanted to replace the Beiyu royal family and make the Yin clan the new royal family, but considering that the country was quite stable at that time, he had no reason to want to start a war, so he found another way to achieve his goal. โ
"In what way?"
Mu Xiayan took a long breath before he spoke slowly.
"At that time, Mu Chunjiu felt that it was not possible to use war to achieve his goal, so after thinking about it, he finally thought of a way, that is, to secretly give birth to a child with Emperor Shengyang's concubines, so that Emperor Shengyang and Emperor Shengyang could support his children to ascend to the throne after Emperor Shengyang died."
After Mu Xiayan finished talking about Mu Chunjiu's way with difficulty, Mu Qiuye was completely stunned.
It took a quarter of an hour for Mu Qiuye to recover from the shock.
He never thought that Mu Chunjiu would come up with such a method anyway.
At the same time, he finally understood why Mu Xiayan gritted his teeth so much when he mentioned Mu Chunjiu, and also said that Mu Chunjiu was a shame for the Yin Clan.
"This Mu Chunjiu's plan is so crazy, hasn't he thought about how much impact it will have on the Yin Clan if he is exposed at this time?"
Now Mu Qiuye no longer calls Mu Chunjiu an ancestor.
Mu Qiuye now felt that his three views were about to collapse, and he really couldn't accept that his ancestor was such a shameless and ridiculous thief.
"Hmph, at that time, all the Qingjia Army was in his hands, and Zongzheng Temple was also quite authoritative among the vassal kings at that time, so Mu Chunjiu completely lost himself because of this, so he didn't take into account the prestige of the Yin clan at that time."
Mu Xiayan also became more and more angry the more he spoke.
"Even so, those concubines of Emperor Shengyang in the palace are not fools, how can they risk being wiped out by the Nine Clans to have an affair with Mu Chunjiu in private and cuckold Emperor Shengyang?"
Mu Qiuye suddenly thought of this question again.
"You're right, as long as it's a concubine with a normal head, it's impossible to do such a rebellious thing, but don't underestimate Mu Chunjiu's despicability."
Mu Xiayan's breathing became rapid at this time because of anger.
"Could it be that Mu Chunjiu still dares to use it?"
Mu Qiuye looked at Mu Xiayan in disbelief.
"He didn't have the courage to rob his concubine, but he Mu Chunjiu used an even more despicable method."
"Is it ยทยทยทยทยทยท?"
Mu Qiuye was so surprised that he didn't dare to say anything at this time.
"You guessed right, that Mu Chunjiu bought off the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, sneaked into the palace with the help of the eunuchs, and then calculated the menstrual period of the concubines according to the information provided by the palace maids, and then used drugs to stun those concubines one by one, and then forcibly possessed them."
"What's the difference between this and a brute!"
Hearing this, Mu Qiuye was already gritting his teeth.
He even felt that it was a shameful thing that he belonged to the same Yin clan as Namu Chunjiu.
"In this way, Emperor Shengyang, who originally had no heirs, had eleven more heirs in a year, including seven princes and four princesses."
"Humph! His mother's Mu Chunjiu really has some skills. โ
Mu Qiuye was already completely angry at Mu Chunjiu's matter at this time.
"I finally understand why Emperor Shengyang's temperament suddenly changed dramatically, but what I don't understand is how Emperor Shengyang knew about this in the first place?"
Mu Qiuye is now powerless to complain about his ancestor.
"Humph! Do you really think that Mu Chunjiu is made seamlessly? โ
Mu Xiayan smiled coldly.
"Could it be that there was something wrong with the eunuchs and palace maids that Mu Chunjiu bought at the beginning?"
The only way Mu Qiuye could think of Mu Chunjiu's affair was through those palace maids and eunuchs.
"That's not it, after all, even if this kind of thing is that even if the palace maids and good eunuchs take the initiative to report to Emperor Shengyang, they will inevitably die, so it is absolutely impossible for the palace maids and eunuchs to take the initiative to tell Emperor Shengyang about the matter, and do you think that with Mu Chunjiu's city, he will give these palace maids and eunuchs a chance to reveal the matter?"
"In that case, how did Emperor Shengyang know about this matter? Could it be that the concubines said it themselves? That's impossible, they can't escape death if they say it! โ
Mu Qiuye denied his thoughts while thinking about it.
"It's very simple, that's because Mu Chunjiu chose too many concubines in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, and even the queens and concubines of Emperor Shengyang have not escaped his clutches."
"Wait! The queen you are talking about is not the Empress Huo who was demoted to the harem by Emperor Shengyang and finally completely insane, right? โ
Suddenly, Mu Qiuye thought of Emperor Shengyang, the deposed Empress Huo.
"That's right, it's her! The poor woman! โ
mentioned this Huo Queen Mu Xiayan couldn't help but feel sorry.
"At the beginning, Mu Chunjiu didn't know that Emperor Sheng Yang and Empress Huo were designated by the first emperor to marry, and the two parties actually had no feelings, so there was no round house between the two for many years after they got married."
Hearing this, Mu Qiuye didn't have to think about it to know what was going on.
The thing must be that Emperor Sheng Yang suddenly found out that Empress Huo was pregnant, so he was furious, and then demoted Empress Huo to the cold palace.
Then he was sure to investigate the matter, so this investigation pulled out the radish and brought out the mud Mu Chunjiu, and these pickled things must have been found out by Emperor Shengyang.
This is the reason why Emperor Shengyang's temperament has changed drastically.
