The queen must start from the head

Chapter 90
The person who came was Li Tianming, the king of the Northern Qi Kingdom, and because of his special status, He Ping and Guang Ming, who had not informed Mu Lian beforehand, stood aside with shame on their faces.

"He Ping, you take Guangming back to the front room, you don't have to wait here." Mu Lian had already calmed down her own breath, and after she instructed He Ping, she then looked at Li Tianming, "I don't know why the monarch is visiting? "

There is no friendship between her and this Northern Qi monarch, strictly speaking, there is a bit of hatred.

At the beginning, the concubine Xian in his palace was sent to the cold palace for reading such rebellious books as "The Queen's Biography", and then the monarch ordered someone to seal up her Sancai Bookstore.

In that battle, she killed Hei Shan, the warden officer of the opponent, Pang Da, the leader of the imperial army, and five thousand black armor soldiers, and finally released only one underage soldier alive to report the letter.Then the Supreme Emperor jumped out to fight her. As a result, the former was defeated and pretended to be dead. She held her in her hand and threw him directly at the gate of the monarch's palace.

Now that the monarch puts aside his dignity and comes to her small temple in person, he is probably going to visit the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

Li Tianming had such experience that he could easily detect Mu Lian's alienation from Mu Lian's tone of voice.He didn't take it seriously either, as a monarch, being thick-faced and dark-hearted is a compulsory skill.

"The widow is here today, naturally I want to discuss something with Mu Sheng."

Seeing his earnest attitude, Mu Lian might have said something serious.Letting people stand here and talk is not the way of hospitality.

Thinking of this, she called Aunt Rong and asked her to take Li Tianming to the living room to sit first. She had just finished practicing and needed to rest before meeting the guests.

After two cups of tea, Mu Lian changed into clean clothes and came to the living room.

Li Tianming was sitting on a chair, drinking tea, when he saw Mu Lian coming in, he put down the teacup in his hand.

After Mu Lian took her seat, the two of them exchanged some polite words and then went straight to the point.

"A royal enshrinement?" Mu Lian listened to Li Tianming talking about the various benefits she could enjoy after becoming an imperial enshrinement, she couldn't help but raised her hand and interrupted him.

This feeling of being interrupted made Li Tianming feel a little uncomfortable.As the king of a country, he has always been the only one who interrupts others, but today he was interrupted.

"Your Majesty should know that I am already the head of the Wushuang sect. The position enshrined by the royal family is too high. I ask myself that I can't climb high." Mu Lian was about to decline.

Li Tianming frowned, "Mu Sheng, to be honest, it's not that I look down on the sect you founded, but that your sect really can't provide you with any help. You have become a saint at such a young age, and you want to improve your cultivation in the future. In recent years, there must be huge resource support. I know that there may be a big force behind you, but they may not be able to fully provide you with the resources to practice in the saint realm. What's more, if you mix with a group of old, weak, women and children every day , What good does it do to practice? They will only hold you back. If you are worried about the lives of these people, I am willing to take action and arrange a good place for them."

"Thank you for your majesty's kindness, but the people under my sect don't need your majesty to worry about it."

Mu Lian's reticent attitude made Li Tianming lose his patience.He is the majestic king of a country, and today he came to visit her with such a humble attitude, and even made a heavy promise to attract her. Who would have thought that the other party would be so ignorant!

Thinking like this, Li Tianming's face gradually became unsightly. "In that case, please ask Mu Sheng to come up with conditions. As long as you are willing to become a worshiper of my Li family, we can discuss any conditions."

"No need, my nature is loose, I can restrain others, but I can't be restrained by others. I suggest that Your Majesty should hire someone else..."

Seeing that the matter was going to be serious, Li Tianming suddenly remembered what the Supreme Emperor had told his family before he left the palace, gritted his teeth and said, "What if I grant you a permanent land and allow you to rebuild sects in the city?"

You must know that establishing a sect in the imperial city is different from establishing a sect residence.Big forces such as Mingyue Tower and Baiye Tower all established branches in the imperial capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and their headquarters were only one or two pavilions.The largest building in the entire imperial city is the palace, which covers an area of ​​over [-] acres.If Mu Lian wanted to establish a sect in the imperial city, it would definitely not be possible without thousands of acres of land.

This condition made Mu Lian a little moved.

According to the information gathered by Aunt Rong, all land sales of more than ten acres in the Imperial City must be strictly reviewed. To establish a sect on the purchased land, you must report to the Kyoto Captain for registration, which is a complicated procedure. Not to mention, not to mention how much money it takes to do up and down in the middle.

The most important thing is that among the contiguous land sold in the imperial city today, there is no one of more than [-] mu. Such a large contiguous land has to be found outside the city.But once he left the city to set up a faction, given the current situation where his family was surrounded by enemies, he was very likely to be besieged by some forces. After all, it was much safer to stay in the imperial city.

After thinking about it, Mu Lian asked, "How big is that land?"

Li Tianming felt that there was still a turning point in the matter, so he quickly replied, "It's close to ten thousand mu."

Mu Lian thought about it, "Forget about the royal family offering, but I can promise you that I will take a shot for your Li family's royal family without harming the sky or harming yourself."

Why did Li Tianming ask her to be an enshrinement to the royal family?Didn't he still fancy her saint-level strength?If the sky falls, it is always good to find a tall man to hold it up.

"Three times!" Li Tianming said and showed three fingers.

"Once." Mu Lian did not back down.

"three times!"

"once."

"Then...then twice!"

"Twice is twice."

This deal is finally negotiated.

Soon after Li Tianming returned to the palace, someone sent over the land deed and a series of documents allowing the sect to be established.Mu Lian looked at all the materials in her hand, and couldn't help nodding, "There are people in the court, it's really easy to handle, this saves me a lot of money."

Just as she finished packing these materials, He Ping suddenly came to report, and the Prime Minister's mansion sent someone over, saying that he wanted to see her.

Is Bi Ying, the current prime minister?Although Mu Lian has never met this person, she also knows that the other party is well-known among scholars, and is an important figure who holds great power in the court.However, there is also some gap between the other party and himself. After all, he, Bi Ying, poured the stigma about Sancai Bookstore earning ill-gotten gains.

Since the other party sent someone over, let's meet before saying, "Let that person in."

He Ping retreated in response, and not long after, a middle-aged man with a goatee and a dark blue brocade robe entered the living room.

After saluting to Mu Lian, he explained his purpose of coming, to the effect that he wanted to invite her to the house tomorrow.

Mu Lian thought about it for a while. She had to settle down the affairs of the sect in the past two days, and she might not have time to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow, so she said, "I have received the kindness from the Prime Minister. It's just that there are a lot of things these days, and I'm afraid that tomorrow will be too late." I can't go to the banquet. I will choose another auspicious day and visit the Prime Minister again."

The middle-aged man who came to pass the message was about to take out the invitation letter in his sleeve, but Mu Lian's words made him stunned on the spot.

After a while, he regained his composure, cupped his hands and said, "The Mu Sheng can deny the next exact date, so that such a young man can answer the Prime Minister after returning home."

"Then five days later."

After setting the date, Mu Lian soon saw off the guests.

After the man in charge of delivering the message left the bookstore, his face darkened.He didn't do the little things Xiangye asked him to do well, and he would inevitably be punished when he returned.Although Mulian said she had become a Mu Sheng, she dared to take Joe in front of the Prime Minister. She was supposed to invite her to a banquet tomorrow, but she shirked that she had something to do and said she would come back in five days. Is it true that the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion is open for her at any time? ?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. After returning to the prime minister's mansion, he had to take a lot of eye drops when reporting the news.

In this regard, Bi Ying, who had listened to the report from his subordinates, seemed not to care, and waved his hand to make people retreat.

It was only when there was no one in the room that Biying's eyes revealed a sharp light. He held the volume of books in his hand, unconsciously squeezed his five fingers tightly, and said to himself, "Mu Lian, I hope you will not be broken." It's my good deed, otherwise..."
