Chapter 35: The Shell Emperor
Mu Chunyang's return to the Xiangfu is really moisturizing, in the morning, there are servants to prepare breakfast, there are four or five kinds of pastries alone, breakfast or something ginseng bird's nest has it, but Mu Chunyang may really Mangosteen can't get used to eating fine bran, although these things are delicious and make up for it, but in Mu Chunyang's opinion, there is still no meat bun or the like to eat Ba Shi, as for pastries or something, Mu Chunyang likes to eat it very much, but Mu Chunyang still eats it to a degree, and it is not just because he likes to eat, so he eats it as a meal, maybe it is the ordinary life of the town that makes Mu Chunyang develop such a habit, maybe it is Mu Chunyang's natureγ
After breakfast, Mu Chunyang pushed the dishes and chopsticks to the side, anyway, there was a subordinate, there was no need to clean it up at all, a subordinate came over and cleaned up the leftovers on the table, Mu Chunyang got up and patted the subordinate on the shoulder and said: "Slowly clean up" After speaking, Mu Chunyang turned around and left, the subordinate scratched the back of his head, and some couldn't find the north.
Mu Chunyang held a dog tail grass pulled from the road in his mouth, hummed a small song, and used the dog tail grass to pound a few times in his mouth from time to time, it is estimated that the abalone and ginseng are stuck between his teeth, and he is embarrassed to blatantly pull it out, and it can only be so. This time when he went out, he was no longer wandering around the street like yesterday, this time Mu Chunyang went directly to the pharmacy on the street, wanting to see if there were any medicinal materials in the pharmacy.
The pharmacy in the capital is still powerful, what strange medicines are available, what Tianshan Snow Lotus, Nine Dead Soul Rejuvenation Grass, here it is the same as Chinese cabbage, but the price is not the price of cabbage, as for what Bi Huang, the earth center lotus also has a lot of reserves, which is completely enough for Mu Chunyang, but only this ice glass does not, Mu Chunyang asked the boss to pack those drugs by catty, Mu Chunyang directly asked the boss to pack thirty packs of medicine in one go, which is directly a month's amount of medicine, which can probably improve his physique to an amazing level.
The medicinal materials were not available, and Mu Chunyang didn't dare to mess around, not to mention how expensive the drugs were, these thirty packs directly spent all the money given by Mu Chunyang's father, almost not enough, a random package of medicine is dozens of taels of gold, and the unit price of these drugs is comparable to gold. This is secondary, the most ruthless thing is that although most of them are drugs for the treatment of bruises, but that Bihuang and Geocentric Lotus are both fierce drugs that can make Mu Chunyang so that there is no corpse left, not to mention what Sicheng will look like if he doesn't follow the prescription, I'm afraid that even if the medicine is complete, but if there is a little short catty or two, Mu Chunyang will probably die.
As for the last taste of medicinal herbs, Mu Chunyang didn't worry at all, there was no medicine shop in the capital, didn't there be one in the palace? Besides, his grandfather couldn't get these things? So Mu Chunyang didn't panic at all.
After bringing these drugs back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mu Chunyang went to the study to find his father, saying that it was a coincidence, his father happened to be not there, and there was no way, so he could only stay here and wait for his father to come back, because the first place his father went to every time he returned to the mansion was the study, and he basically did his own work in the study during the day, so Mu Chunyang came to the study to find his father as soon as he had something.

Above the court, almost all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were there, a man in uniform was on a high seat and on the dragon chair, and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty knelt on the ground, not even daring to raise his head, not because of the anger of the man, but because of another person, and this person was the prime minister of the dynasty - Mu Feng.
Originally, this time the court was discussing which cities to use in exchange for the eldest prince, but more than half of the people in the government and the opposition were opposed to using five cities to exchange for the eldest prince, although the eldest prince had no talent and no virtue, and it was indeed impossible to exchange five cities for the eldest prince, plus the three princes were also strongly opposed, so the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had the courage to resolutely oppose the exchange of five cities for the eldest prince, but it was such a thing that angered Xiang Ye, and Xiang Ye roared angrily: " The eldest prince is the son of His Majesty, and the whole world is not the king's land, and it is natural to exchange five cities for His Majesty's flesh and blood, and the eldest prince is the pillar of the country.
Besides, if the five cities are lost, they can be recaptured, and if a talent like the Great Prince is lost, I don't know what your colleagues have to say. β
Although the man in the costume sits on the dragon chair, a discerning person will see that this emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is just a shell, and the real ruler of the court and the opposition has already become the prime minister.
Kneeling on the ground, the Taiwei and the Imperial Doctor said in unison: "We are short-sighted, it is better for the Prime Minister to be far-sighted, and almost caused the Great Song Dynasty to lose a talent like the Great Prince, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." β
These two were still opposed to the change of the prince just now, and suddenly changed their minds, obviously this is just a play that Mu Xiang sent them to play, but these two first-class masters have taken refuge in the prime minister, and the clear-eyed people know what to do at a glance, to be honest, those who can mix in this court will not be stunned, they are all old fritters who see the wind and rudder, all of them are like pounding garlic with their heads, and they generally kowtow, while shouting loudly: "Prime Minister Mingjian, we are short-sighted, and we have not been able to think deeply and pay off Your Majesty's forgiveness." β
Although on the surface, the civil and military officials were begging His Majesty for forgiveness, but in fact they were just signaling their position to the prime minister, and the man forced out a smile and said: "With the assistance of a virtuous minister like Mu Xiang, how can my Great Song Dynasty not be prosperous, come here, reward Mu Xiang with five thousand taels of gold." β
Mu Feng bent down and said: "Thank you for Your Majesty's reward, it is within the minister's duty to solve problems for Your Majesty, as for this reward, the minister does not dare to take it." β
The man scolded angrily in his heart and said, "It's not a thing, it's not enough." But he still said with a smile on his face: "Okay, good, Mu Xiang is really a virtuous minister, the widow is very pleased, and he should be rewarded heavily, and he will be given ten thousand taels of gold." β
Mu Xiang bowed down again and said, "The old minister is ashamed." The man in uniform smiled and said, "Mu Xiang, don't refuse." Xiangye bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty for the reward." β
Obviously, this Mu Xiang is not enough, but this emperor Lao'er is also the emperor's old child after all, although he is just a shell, but he is still a dignified Song Emperor on his face, even if Mu Feng has set up the emperor, but he still has to take care of the above, not an inch.

After retiring from the dynasty, several people in the court who couldn't keep up with the rhythm but were still smart hurriedly walked up to Xiangye, arched their hands, bowed deeply and said: "Xiangye is far-sighted, I wait for the eyes of the rat, and I hope that Xiangye will bear with me, and I will definitely unite with Xiangye in the future." β
Mu Feng hugged his fists, expressed his respect for the emperor, and said: "Sharing worries for Your Majesty is within my boundaries, but you still have to take a long-term view in the future." β
Those officials naturally understood the meaning of Mu Feng's words, and said with a smile: "The lower officials understand, Xie Xiangye pointed out the maze." β
The official words are quite beautiful, but the actual meaning is only understood by them in their own hearts.
The emperor returned to the palace directly after the tide receded, but the more he thought about the things in the court, the more angry he became, so he smashed a fist on the pillars around him, and the pillars were smashed into a dent, but the emperor's hands were also bloody, and the concubines around him hurriedly ran over, and ordered the maid to take gauze and medicine from the side, and the concubine took the emperor's hand and helped the emperor bandage his wounds with ease.
The concubine naturally knows why the emperor is like this, but there is nothing to be done, among the government and the opposition, all the people who hold great power have taken refuge in Mu Feng, as for those who have no power, this time in the court today, it is estimated that those who have brains will take refuge in Mu Feng, but there will always be a few upright stunned young people in the government and the opposition, but the status is not high, there is no power in hand, even if it is useless to stand on the emperor's side, it is estimated that it will not be long before this Mu Feng will rebel, but the emperor has nothing to do.
Say that the emperor's ability is not good, then how can it be possible, to be selected from many princes, to be established as a prince, and finally to become the emperor, how can it be a mediocre, incompetent and brainless person, but a mountain is higher than a mountain, the road is one foot high, and the demon is one foot high, obviously Mu Feng is the devil, who was originally established as the prime minister, but now it has become the biggest disaster, how can you not be angry.
Now the only one who can stand on the emperor's side is probably Xie Xun, and fortunately Xie Xun is on the emperor's side, otherwise the country may have changed hands long ago, but Xie Xun is on the front line, always on guard against Da Liao, and he can't take care of the emperor's side, if Xie Xun is here, the emperor doesn't have to be so angry.
Speaking of Xie Xun, since the last time he was seized of military power, although he is still loyal to the emperor Lao'er, but there are still some complaints, not to mention that his identity as a veteran of the three dynasties was suppressed by a hairy boy as a royal family, just this battle was broken by Da Liao several levels, the culprit was originally the fool of the big prince, but in the end, he had to negotiate with Da Liao to exchange five cities for one person, and he was still a sinner in exchange.
In recent days, although Da Liao has not made a big move, but small fights do often happen, the Da Liao side does not do anything else, nothing to come over to provoke, kill a few people, set a fire, and run away directly after doing this, harassing every day, but there is no big action, just like playing monkeys, the Song army is playing all over the group, Xie Xun, who is already angry, is even more angry by this kind of scoundrel fighting, but he does not dare to make a big move. Aggrieved can't do it.
