Chapter 6 Winning the hearts and minds of the people
The subordinate officer was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and hurriedly sent the pen and paper to the front.
Seeing this, the old ministers still wanted to speak, but Mu Rong had already written directly.
In a short time, the abdication script will be written and stamped with a large seal, so that the matter will be a foregone conclusion.
Mu Chaobi took the paperwork, and after glancing at it, he looked at the old ministers coldly and said, "You guys, do you have any opinions?" ”
"The old minister is old and frail, and he has become more and more unable to handle official affairs recently, so I hereby ask His Royal Highness to allow the old minister to return to his hometown."
"Ministers, please also return to the old."
Several old ministers said almost at the same time.
Mu Rong's eyes flashed, and he quietly glanced at Mu Chaobi's reaction, and saw that he just sneered, so his heart moved.
"Several of you are all old ministers of the Qianguo Mansion, since you are determined to leave, I can't force you to stay, so let's go home with me after I get the paperwork to return to my hometown."
With a wave of his big hand, Mu Rong immediately looked at Mu Chaobi again, and saluted: "Second uncle, I'm afraid the angel is also coming, please welcome you, wait for me to get the old documents for them, and then explain to the angel." ”
"Okay."
Mu Chaobi said lightly, holding the document in his hand and leading the person out of the hall.
After the others left, Mu Rong looked at the old ministers and said, "Come with me." ”
Then he got up and brushed his sleeves away, looking very unhappy.
Several old ministers looked at each other, and after hesitating for a while, they finally followed.
The palace of the prince of Qianguo was established according to the system of vassal kings, according to the central dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, slightly reduced, and there were six departments.
The appointment and dismissal of the subordinate officials of the royal palace are dealt with in the Ministry of Officials on weekdays.
A group of people followed Mu Rong to the envoy of the ministry, Mu Rong asked one of the subordinate officials to prepare the documents, and he called the people to the innermost inner hall.
After making sure that there was no one around, he spoke: "Mu Rong, please help me!" ”
Seeing this, several people showed doubts on their faces, and one of the old ministers asked first, "What does Your Highness mean by this?" ”
"You are all the ministers of the humerus of the palace, the hope of the people of Yunnan, you must not resign and return, if you leave, this palace will really fall into the hands of traitors." Mu Rong said earnestly.
"But His Royal Highness has just written the documents and ceded the title to the governor, even if I have the heart, I am afraid that I will not be able to serve my life anymore."
The old minister who spoke was called Zhang Wenhai, and he was the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Palace.
Mu Rong arched his hand and said: "The old imperial history doesn't know, I have to do it as a last resort, if not, how can Mu Chaobi's traitor tolerate me waiting?" ”
"Your Highness wants to ......"
Another old minister's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he seemed to have guessed something.
This person is Ge Hong, the imperial envoy of the right capital of the Imperial Palace.
"Now the palace inside and outside are the minions of the Mu Dynasty's sword soldiers, if you want to clean up the inside and outside, you must have real evidence, and then ask the angels to witness it, and go to the Beijing Division."
Mu Rong had an extra heart in his heart, he didn't explain the plan to invite Su Dingan to lead the troops back, and he was actually not completely sure whether Zhang Wenhai and Ge Hong were completely credible.
It's just that there is no other choice at the moment, so they are counted.
Unexpectedly, several people were overjoyed immediately after hearing this, and Ge Hong said directly: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry, these old ministers and others have already secretly collected all the evidence of Mu Chaobi's thief, as long as His Highness gives an order, he can be arrested at any time!" ”
"That's great, so please go back to the mansions first, sort out the evidence, and when everything is ready, I will only have you."
Mu Rong didn't expect that Zhang Wenhai and these people had already investigated and collected the evidence of Mu Chaobi's crime, so he was naturally overjoyed and said immediately.
In this way, as long as Su Ding'an's army arrives, the right time and place will be occupied by himself, and Mu Chaobi will have no possibility of turning the tables.
After sending Zhang Wenhai and the others away, Mu Rong came out of the envoy of the ministry, and just wanted to go to Mu Chaobi again to complete the set.
didn't expect to meet him head-on, leading a group of people over with a spring breeze on his face, so he took advantage of the situation to meet him.
"Second uncle, why are you here, where are the angels?"
"I handed over the document you wrote to the angel, and the angel said that the matter is very important, and you need to go back immediately to fly the pigeon to report to the emperor, and you have left."
Mu Chaobi smiled and said, "What about the old horsemen? ”
I'm not going to pretend to do it.
Mu Rong's heart moved, and he said quietly on the surface: "I have taken the paperwork and left, since the angel has gone back, the second uncle will officially take over the title of Duke of the country, and the etiquette must be very busy, and the nephew will not bother you." ”
"That's right, then you have a good rest...... Just woke up, and the body has not yet recovered, so don't go around, and cultivate in the palace. ”
Nodding slightly, Mu Chaobi didn't know whether it was a reminder or a threat, so he added another sentence.
Hearing this, Mu Rong naturally didn't say anything, turned around and said yes.
Then sent Mu Chaobi away, Mu Rong returned to his study in the other courtyard again, and then he just had to wait for Wu Ben to come back.
originally thought that he would have to wait for at least one day and one night, but he didn't expect that night, Mu Rong was just about to go back to the house to see if Liu Qiao'er had woken up, and there was a figure shaking outside the house.
At first, he thought it was Mu Chaobi's person, but he didn't recognize it until Wu Ben pushed the door in.
But seeing that he came back so soon, Mu Rong was a little uneasy, and stepped forward and hurriedly helped him and asked, "Uncle Wu, why did you come back so quickly, did you encounter something on the road and failed to see the old general?" ”
"Your Highness, rest assured, the old slave saw the old general, and when he went out, the old slave prepared three fast horses, and he didn't stop for a moment, so he arrived in advance."
"It's hard Uncle Wu, what does the old general say?" Mu Rong said with joy in his heart.
"The army will be drawn immediately, and it will be able to reach the royal city in two days, and the old general will personally lead the troops into the city."
Wu Ben said excitedly.
Just hearing his words, Mu Rong suddenly reacted to a question in his heart.
Asking Su Dingan to lead the troops back is indeed his biggest hole card, but he ignored a key point before, that is, the soldiers guarding the palace and the capital of Yunnan are all Mu Chaobi's people.
Then even if Su Dingan led the troops to kill, it would not be easy to attack the city.
In this process, his life was still in Mu Chaobi's hands, and it was certain that at that time, the first thing Mu Chaobi did must be to kill him.
Therefore, Su Ding'an can't be allowed to lead the troops to attack the city, and Mu Chaobi must be tricked out.
After pondering for a while, he had an idea in his heart, and Mu Rong spoke again.
"I also want Uncle Wu to go out of the city again, tell the old general that he doesn't have to lead the troops to attack the city, just ambush the army in the tomb of the king of Xishan, and then I have my own way to let Mu Chaobi throw himself into the net!"
