When Mu Sheng heard this, his heart moved, of course he understood the meaning of the emperor's words, of course, he also had to express his position, bowed down and said: "Thank you Your Majesty for the reward, thank Your Majesty for the tribute of the mountain puppet people, my mountain puppet people should have peace for eternity from now on, this is the great benevolence and great goodness......

The meaning of the emperor's words is obvious, don't toss things around you, but if others want to toss you, you have to look at Lao Tzu's face, since you recognize me as the eldest brother, then the eldest brother has the responsibility to protect you.

Mu Sheng also said at the same time, I listened to all your words, big brother, and resolutely obeyed the leader's arrangement!

When Mu Sheng saw that his goal had been achieved, he naturally accepted the emperor's inscription with a smile on his face.

After the gift, the emperor returned to the throne and said with a smile: "The king of Zhennan has worked hard to wade through mountains and rivers, and the tribute is in line with my heart. ”

Mu Sheng bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" ”

After taking their seats, the entourage that followed the king of Zhennan also withdrew from the main hall, and after the whole process was completed, the next state came to pay tribute......

In the evening, the Jin Palace held a banquet for the delegations of the southern Xinjiang countries, and at the banquet, Mu Sheng was invited to sit on the right side of the emperor's throne with the Lama of the Patriarch of Laima, and the Great Jin Dynasty respected the right, which shows the importance of the emperor to Errao.

Ahlami doesn't have to, he changed his life for the emperor and continued his longevity, the emperor naturally trusts her very much, and Mu Sheng's identity is naturally a crucial grasp for the emperor's attempt to exert influence in southern Xinjiang.

The national strength is too strong, such as the former clan, if the Great Jin helps, the current balance pattern in southern Xinjiang will be reversed immediately, and a tyrant will be created in the south, which is what the Great Jin does not want to see, the two sides actually know it, each takes what it needs, and it is very clear in the edict played by Mu Sheng before he came, that is, he licked a big face to hug the thigh of the Great Jin, and officially recognized the eldest brother, of course, Mu Sheng just slapped the leader's ass loudly and well, which is also a powerful plus.

The emperor raised his glass and greeted the envoys of various countries, and the envoys of various countries naturally stood up one after another to congratulate each other.

After a while, the emperor turned his head and said to the king of Zhennan: "I heard that Aiqing has been in southern Xinjiang for hundreds of years, and I have heard of it many times in the Central Plains. ”

When Mu Sheng heard this, he got up and saluted: "Your Majesty has praised it, the old minister is ashamed, how dare you compare with Your Majesty for this little bit of merit, Your Majesty is diligent in political affairs, good at cultivating military armor, and with my army of tigers and wolves in the Great Jin Dynasty, exterminate the Seven Kingdoms, cover, merit, ancient and modern, I am afraid that after many years, Your Majesty's achievements will really be worthy of the four words of shaking the ancient and modern." ”

"Now I see that the state affairs of the Great Jin Dynasty are thriving, there are millions of people who control the strings, and the territory is thousands of miles, the Great Jin really deserves the first state, Your Majesty is virtuous, and the minister is willing to submit to the prestige of His Majesty, as for the minister's merits compared with His Majesty, it is like the light of a grain of rice, how dare he compete with Haoyue, I really dare not be!"

When the emperor heard this, he laughed and said: "Aiqing doesn't know, my current achievements are all based on the renewal of the rule of the kings of my Jin Kingdom and the reform of the law to strengthen the country. ”

When Mu Sheng heard this, he sighed with emotion: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, the minister thinks that even if there is a foundation for Xianrao, if there is no sage and sage in charge, he can't hold the toss of a loser in a good family, and the minister feels that His Majesty should be the first person of the kings of ancient and modern dynasties, even if he is a sage and ancient sage, he must retreat!" ”

When the emperor heard this, he laughed and said, "What Aiqing said is true, come and drink!" ”

Mu Sheng naturally smiled and raised his wine glass to drink it all, and the emperor said with the strength of the wine: "Somehow, I and Aiqing hit it off at first sight, and we really hate each other..."

The emperor suddenly took off the sword and handed it to the king of Zhennan, and instructed: "In this way, I will give this portable sword to Aiqing, and in the future, Aiqing can use this sword to deter Taisha and the former people. ”

When Mu Sheng heard this, he was overjoyed, and he was afraid that the emperor would regret it, so he hurriedly stood up quickly and stepped forward to take the emperor's sword respectfully, and said: "Long live my emperor, long live, the minister has received the gift of His Majesty, like a tiger with wings, the minister will drive for His Majesty in the future, for His Majesty's pawn, His Majesty's sword is pointed, the minister charges into battle, does not avoid the axe, and it is incumbent on His Majesty to open up thousands of miles of rivers and mountains." ”

The emperor laughed when he heard this, raised his wine glass and said, "Aiqing, hurry up, come on!" My King of Zhennan, drink! ”

Mu Sheng returned to his seat and raised his wine glass to drink nine glasses in a row to show respect, and the patriarch Ahlami who accompanied the wine at the same table was shocked when he heard this, what does the emperor mean by this, this is to fully support the mountain puppet to dominate southern Xinjiang?

Prime Minister Huo Cheng, who was accompanying the emperor on the left side, heard the words and stepped forward to stop them, but when he saw that the emperor was on the rise, he had to wait for His Majesty to wake up tomorrow before making a move, which is different from what was discussed at the beginning?

Huo Zheng turned his eyes to look at this king of Zhennan again, although he is the lord of barbarians, he really can't take it lightly, this sycophant kung fu is really first-class, why did the emperor give him all the swords for some reason?

The subtext is that in the future, the mountain puppets in southern Xinjiang will increase their strength by virtue of the influence of the Great Jin, and the representative behind this sword is that the mountain puppets can let go of their hands and dominate in southern Xinjiang.

In the evening, when the banquet dispersed, Mu Sheng looked at the emperor's sword in his hand, and he was full of energy.

When the envoys of the southern Xinjiang countries heard that Zicijian and the king of Zhennan had probably guessed what this meant, they came to make friends with the king of Zhennan and show goodwill.

Seeing them come here to show his goodwill, Mu Sheng smiled and was polite to them, and he clearly knew why they were so behaving, and the influence of the mountain puppet among the countries of southern Xinjiang in the future was equivalent to the second shopkeeper of the Great Jin, and the Great Jin Dynasty was separated from the southern Xinjiang by thousands of rivers and mountains, but the mountain puppet was under his own nose, and the county official might as well be in charge now, and he must give priority to the lord of the mountain puppet.

In the Jin Palace the next day, after the emperor woke up, he sobered up under the service of Sun Furao, and after a cup of tea, the temple people came to report, and Huo Zheng, the prime minister of Zuo, asked to see.

When the emperor heard Huo Xiang's report, he knew that he was drunk yesterday, and he was excited to give the sword to the lord of the mountain puppet, although the lord of the mountain puppet is indeed very good at patting on the back, but in retrospect, the emperor still has a slight regret in his heart, but if he goes out, the water that is spilled out cannot be taken back casually, especially since he is still the king of a country, and it is not fun for you to joke.

The emperor had no choice but to frown and find himself under the stairs, and said, "Alas! Give it to it, I can't take it back, but I remember that it seems that I am only sending troops at my discretion, and it can be regarded as too full of words, and whether to send troops or not depends on me. ”

Huo Zheng said: "Your Majesty, this son gives the sword, it is of great significance, in fact, whether we send troops or not is not very important to the lord of the mountain puppet, what matters is our statement of the Great Jin, which is the most important thing for the mountain puppet......"

The emperor said: "Now that the wood has been completed, can Aiqing have a clever plan to take back his fate?" ”

Huo Zheng said: "Your Majesty, now we want to stabilize the situation in southern Xinjiang or need to win over the mountain puppets, rashly retracting the fate is afraid that it will damage the prestige of our dynasty, and the gains outweigh the losses, since the sword has been given to him, we might as well make a holy decree between the visiting countries, and the countries must not attack for no reason, wanton annexation, only the division is famous, with the right way, to welcome the hearts of the people, can use soldiers, otherwise our Jin army should march south with a righteous army, in order to win over the minister." ”

When the emperor heard this, he nodded again and again: "Okay! Good! Very good, just do it, Aiqing will go and draft the purpose! ”

Huo Xiangyan withdrew from the hall when he heard this, and went on an errand by himself......

On the same day, Mu Sheng received the imperial decree in the post house, he laughed secretly, the emperor finally came back to his senses, and immediately issued a holy decree to make an upgrade patch, clarifying his attitude.

Mu Sheng doesn't care, anyway, the goal has been achieved, his main goal is to clean up the behemoth of Taisha, he doesn't look down on these countries at all, so he hurriedly found someone to write a book to express that he resolutely obeys the leader's arrangement, and will never dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool, etc.......

At the beginning of March, the temple people in the palace came to the post house where they stayed to inform the imperial court to send people to come to reward the envoys of various countries.

After a while, the official in charge of this matter in the imperial court came to the post house under the leadership of the first person, but the first person was the son of An Guojun.

Seeing this, Mu Sheng was stunned, he came to read out the imperial court reward on behalf of the emperor? It is also expected, although Gongzi Xiu of An Guojun has not been publicly canonized as the crown prince by the emperor, but now this pomp, the carriage and horse he rode when he came, as if he was already the treatment of the prince of the empire, and now the civil and military idiots of the Manchu Dynasty can see that Gongzi Xiu must be the next emperor of the internal designation, and as expected, the weight of Gongzi Xiu in the emperor's heart is indeed extraordinary.

Mu Sheng saw An Guojun's face proud, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet Gongzi Xiu, this time is different from the past, not only to tie up the old emperor, but also to make a good effort to tie the knot, now the old emperor does not know how long he can live, but this Gongzi Xiu, the future new monarch, will definitely reign for a long time, and he has to make great efforts to take it over.

Mu Sheng had to pretend to be in a state of meeting for the first time, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Presumably you are An Guojun, right?" ”

Gongzi Xiu looked at the middle-aged man with a scarred face in front of him, knowing that he was the guest next to His Majesty, so he stepped forward and saluted: "I have seen the king of Zhennan, I am An Guojun." ”

Gongzi Xiu was puzzled: "King Zhennan, you live in southern Xinjiang, and it is the first time you have come to the Central Plains, you and I have never met each other, how do you always know that I am An Guojun at a glance?" ”

Mu Sheng smiled and said with a full mouth: "In fact, it is not difficult to recognize you, this king is a person who has achieved cultivation, the first time I saw An Guojun, you walked wide and closed, and gathered dragon energy, and the appearance was wonderful, it was really a very person, this king dared to speculate that the noble person in front of him today must be An Guojun You yourself are undoubted!" ”

Gongzi Xiu's face showed surprise, and he waved his hand again and again: "King Zhennan, you don't dare to mess around, what kind of body gathers dragon energy, this spreads, if Your Majesty blames it, I can't afford to bear it." ”
