At the beginning of the next day, the sun shone on the earth, and the white clouds floated in the blue sky, slowly fluttering with a gust of wind.

Under the shadow of the clouds, the palace of Xiyun Kingdom was as usual, the armored guards were guarding the entrances and exits like benchmarks, and sometimes patrols were walking by.

Qingren Hall, located in the center of the Imperial Palace, is called the "heart" of Xiyun Kingdom, because this is the place where the lord of the country makes decisions.

It's guarded by a bunch of elite armor warriors, and it's almost impassable. And the two rows of stairs made of white jade, a towering tree in the center, and a stone lion sitting in ten steps, these give people a solemn feeling.

At this time, there were already hundreds of officials of Xiyun Kingdom waiting in the Qingren Palace, and they had already come to Lizhou a few days earlier, and some of the nearby ones also had to enter the palace in the middle of the night to come to the morning court once a month.

Now they don't know that Su Mu Yashan has returned, and they think that the person who is in charge of the government today is still King Shenliu, that is, Su Muxin's half-brother.

Su Yan, the former lord of Xiyun Kingdom, has a mother of the main room, called Wan Rong, and three concubines, namely Concubine Fu Yina, Concubine Lan Kelan, and Concubine Xian Xiangzuo.

Su Mu Yashan and Su Yanyue are the twin siblings of Concubine Xian for Su Yansheng, and Su Yanyue's title is Princess Xining.

As for the eldest prince Su Mu Youmiao and the fourth prince Su Mu Puyu, they are the sons of Wanrong. The eldest prince died of illness in his early years.

The biological mother of the second prince Su Mu Gao Zhuo and the fifth prince Su Mu Honghuan is Fu Concubine Yina.

The third prince, Su Mu Qiang, and his biological mother is Concubine Lan.

Now the brothers were standing in front of the procession of officials, and below the throne there was a chair on which sat a man.

This person's eyebrows and facial features are similar to Su Muxin's, and his gestures show that he has a steady and spicy heart.

But if you look closely, you will notice that there is something strange in his eyes, and occasionally glance at the dragon chair behind him.

This person is none other than Su Mu Gaozhuo, the king of Shenliu with the name of the fief.

"Meet King Shenliu!"

Hundreds of officials knelt on the ground and saluted, and several princes just saluted.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please get up, and a few princes are exempt. Su Mu Gaozhuo brushed his hand, and then said: "This morning, everyone has worked tirelessly, and some adults have even entered the palace in the dark, which is really a model for people. ”

Well, there is really a set of polite words.

Su Mu Gaozhuo saw that some officials were secretly happy, but only two or three were indifferent, but it could be regarded as satisfying his purpose of winning people's hearts.

He said again: "I wonder if you adults and several princes have something to play?"

Everyone looked at each other, stunned that no one was the first.

Those princes with somewhat similar appearances would not be like this, only to see an older one glance at a twenty-something-year-old, and the latter walked out of the ranks.

"Brother Huanghuang, I have something to play!"

The corners of Su Mu Gaozhuo's mouth rose, and he said with a smile: "Fifth brother, please speak." ”

It turned out that this person was Su Mu Honghuan, the younger brother of Su Mu Gaozhuo's half-father.

I saw Su Mu Honghuan in the realm of no one, he didn't care about the image, he stood loosely, he said: "Since the lord of the country went out to retreat and cultivate, the Xiyun Kingdom has been thriving under the governance of the imperial brother, and every household has endless food to eat, and the gold and silver that have not been spent are endless, which can be said to be the wealth of the country and the peace of the people.

As soon as the lord of the country left, there was no news, ignoring the people of Limin, and the government and the opposition did not ask any questions. is so irresponsible, it is difficult to become a clear gentleman. ”

Baiguan was shocked, and everyone knew what the meaning of this Su Mu Honghuan was.

"I'm afraid it's going to change. ”

"It seems that we need to stand in line so as not to cause trouble. ”

"Speak carefully for a moment. ”

Hundreds of officials whispered.

Su Mu Gaozhuo smiled secretly in his heart, his brother was true

Clever, it was in vain that he sent a few beauties to him last night.

But he didn't show it, and he asked, "What do you want to say?" Although this king is only acting as an agent of the state, he can also forgive you for saying that you are not guilty. ”

Su Mu Honghuan said: "Brother Emperor Xie. What I want to say is that the country cannot be left without a master for a day, and the court cannot be without a king for a day. ”

Look at this meaning, I want to kick Su Muxin off the stage!

Su Mu Puyu's face was very bad, and he secretly scolded these half-brothers for colluding here.

He himself was very frustrated, he didn't like to fight for power, he only liked to drink and enjoy flowers.

But it was precisely because of his hobby that he was caught by Su Mu Honghuan, saying that he would only be vassalage and elegant, and did not put his mind on the country's social affairs.

At that time, he theorized, but he had no doormen, and he couldn't compete with these dozens of mouths at all, not to mention those three people.

Hearing Su Mu Honghuan's words, Su Mu Puyu knew that the former was going to repeat his old tricks and wanted to drag the lord of the country to abdicate.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a voice that he hadn't heard for a long time.

"Listening to King Wenlu's words, are you going to usurp the throne?"

Su Muxin was dressed in a golden-red dragon robe, the jewel on the crown of his head was shining, the jade belt was inlaid with small pieces of Hetian white jade, and there were auspicious clouds around him.

When they saw someone coming, everyone was surprised, and they immediately lay on the ground and saluted.

"Meet the lord of the country, may the lord of the country be eternal. ”

Su Mu Gaozhuo was jumped, as if a needle had pierced him in the chair.

"Bye...... Meet the Lord of the Kingdom. At this point, there were a few beads of sweat on his forehead.

Su Muxin sat on the dragon chair dignifiedly, and said lightly: "Second Emperor Brother is exempt. ”

Su Mu Gaozhuo slowly took three steps back, turned around and walked to stand in front of the queue of hundred officials.

He didn't expect Su Muxin to come back quietly, he didn't know at all, the guards at the palace gate were all in the hands of his fifth brother, and if there was any trouble, he had already ordered them to report in time.

For example, Su Muxin's whereabouts.

Although Su Mu Gaozhuo was surprised, his face still did not change, and he did not move like Mount Tai.

On the other hand, looking at Su Mu Honghuan, he was a little frightened. I was ashamed to speak out just now, and I was heard by Su Muxin, so it was difficult to do it now.

Seeing that the Qingren Hall was quiet, Su Muxin snorted coldly, and the majesty of the emperor broke out at this moment, and he said, "Go on! ”

Su Mu Gaozhuo gave Su Mu Qi'ang a look, trying to get the latter to come out and say something casually, just by changing the topic.

But who can grow up in the royal family is not a human spirit?

Su Mu Qiang laughed at Su Mu Gaozhuo's bad intentions in his heart, ignored him, and looked at the ground without saying a word.

Su Mu Gaozhuo scolded secretly, then changed his face and said with a smile: "I don't know when the lord of the country will return?" Why don't you tell Weichen, so that I can take over the wind and wash the dust for you." ”

Su Muxin said in a cold voice: "Heh, if I let you know that I have returned, I am afraid that I will not be able to hear the advice of King Wenlu today, let alone see that the acting regent appointed by me is actually among the ranks of the hundred officials." ”

That's pretty straightforward.

It means that Su Mu Puyu, who was appointed by the dignified state director to act as the government minister, was actually deposed by several princes, and is there still a lord of the country in his eyes? Is he still the lord of the country?

Could it be that their power and courage are so great, and they are unheard of to be above the lord of the country.

"Why? don't speak?" Su Muxin was so angry that he almost slapped the table, "King Zhenxi, I ask you, why did you look like a suitable talent when you handed over the imperial court to you that day?"

Su Mu Puyu was originally very happy that Su Mu Yashan had returned, but when he heard the latter's reproachful words, he smiled bitterly: "I...... Eh~That's it. ”

He really can't say how bitter he is!

The heart is as bitter as coptis.

"The lord of the country doesn't know. Su Mu Gaozhuo saluted and said: "The king of Zhenxi was ill that day, so Weichen took his place temporarily in the spirit of governing the country and loving the people. ”

Su Muxin said, "Is that really the case?"

At this time, Su Muqiang jumped out, and he said: "The lord of the country, Weichen can also testify, it is true." ”

Wechen can also testify. Some officials also spoke out for Su Mu Gaozhuo.

The so-called cold lips and teeth, once Su Mu Gaozhuo has no good fruit to eat, they will also be implicated.

Su Muxin's eyes were fixed on Su Mu Puyu, hoping that the latter would refute it.

It's a pity that Su Mu Puyu said something that disappointed Su Muxin, "Return to the country, the words of the second emperor brother are true." ”

Su Muxin closed his eyes and suppressed the anger in his heart.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and said, "This matter is not discussed for the time being, I have my own judgment. I went to Luohuaxuan to retreat and practice, and I am very grateful to all of you for the country and the people in the past year. ”

"It is the ruler of the country who governs the country in a proper way. The officials were unanimous again.

said that it was not privately passed, but it was all false.

Su Muxin also knew that this was just a face-to-face statement, "Okay, has something important happened this year?"

"Returning to the country, the Northern Ling Kingdom wants to conquer our country, and now they are stationed outside the pass, and the war is about to break out. It was Taiwei Zhang Buli who spoke.

Su Muxin rubbed his temples and said, "I have heard about this matter, and I have sent someone to investigate the reason.

In addition, I need a great talent to send an envoy to the Northern Ling Kingdom on my behalf to discuss the withdrawal of their respective troops. Our country has not had a military incident for many years, and we do not want the people of the two countries to fall into misery, so it is best for each country to withdraw its troops.

So, I don't know who of you virtuous people is willing to send an envoy?"

The officials whispered again, but the princes were expressionless, and they each played Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts.

Su Mu Honghuan, who had escaped for the time being, did not dare to move, for fear that Su Mu Yashan would trouble him.

Seeing this, Su Muxin said, "Since no one recommended myself, then I can only choose it myself." ”

He stood up, walked down a few steps, and came to several imperial brothers, but his eyes were looking at the door of Qingren Palace, "King Wenlu can speak well, is witty, and is my imperial brother, why don't you send it!"

Su Mu Honghuan was so frightened that he knelt down, and hurriedly said: "The lord of the country forgives his sins, and Weichen is just for the people and the court, not a big rebellion." ”

He thought to himself that he would send an envoy to Beiling Kingdom, not to mention whether the negotiations could succeed, but whether he could come back alive or not, which was very small.

To negotiate at this juncture is obviously to send to death.

Su Muxin played well with this hand, since you Su Muhonghuan want to oppose me, I will let you go to Beiling Kingdom.

Do you go or not? Go, then you don't need to say anything, you can do it yourself.

If you don't go, you're in trouble. Chrysostom, the lord of the country, said that if you don't go, it will be a protest, and you should be killed according to the routine.

Although it is said that it is a royal family, it will also be reduced to a common person.

Therefore, Su Muxin is clever!

Su Mu Gaozhuo said at this time: "The lord of the country, because of the recent war, there may be a war at any time. There was chaos in the Lizhou area, and King Wenlu was responsible for the safety of the palace and could not get out. ”

Su Mu Honghuan grabbed a life-saving straw and said: "That's right, there is news that there are thieves who want to invade the palace, and the minister really can't leave, so please choose another talent." ”

Su Muxin said with a smile: "Haha, I'm just saying it casually, why should the two imperial brothers be in a hurry? However, King Wenlu is really good at speaking, in order not to send an envoy to Beiling Kingdom, he can even make up a thief." ”
