King Solo
Chapter 4
Painfully lamenting the helplessness of the world, some arrogant without a trace of modesty that a courtier should have, all kinds of people are chaotically waiting for the coming bloody storm, only Meng Zhang kneels in front of the tombstone of the royal tomb Painful and weeping, Meng Zhang knew everything in his heart, but the aristocratic family was too powerful. Although he was a prince and aristocrat, he was discriminated against since he was a child because his mother was a palace maid.Although he is a prince now, he is also an idle prince in name only.
Ling Yuan knelt behind Meng Zhang and knew that his father was afraid that he would die now.Before the mausoleum, Meng Zhang got up suddenly, helped Lingyuan up, and said to the officials, "I, Meng Zhang, the king of Anyuan, became sworn brothers with Shao Sikong Lingyuan before the mausoleum of the former king. Since then, we have shared weal and woe together." Then he said softly, "I don't know. Ling Shaosi is willing to become brothers with different surnames with this king."
Everyone was very surprised for a while, Su Han was caught off guard by this move, but he could only admit that he was dumb. Su Han wanted to get rid of Ling Sikong and his son together, but Meng Zhang rescued Ling Sikong with this move Getting married is the adopted son of the royal family, but it also means that the power of Prince Mengzhang will be divided, and the power of salary will be halved.) Su Han can get rid of anyone today, but he can't move the surname Meng, because the world is He belongs to the Meng family, if Ling Yuan is removed, he will bear the eternal infamy of usurping power and treason.
Lingyuan looked at the immature Meng Zhang in front of him. Kingship is so important. Now Meng Zhang is the only one in the entire Meng family who can have the power of an emperor, but Meng Zhang voluntarily gave up seizing power to save himself, and finally agreed.
Under the gate of Tianshu King City, the guards took Ling Sikong down and took him to the royal tomb.
Su Han "Sikong Ling Zhengqing, corruption, disaster relief money and food, private account books, false accusations of important court officials and other seven crimes and punishment, will be executed after three days"
Ling Sikong said in an air, "You and other treacherous villains will not end well in the end."
Lingyuan roared angrily, "The king has passed away for many days. You waited for a secret to lure my father into the city. You should be beheaded."
The father and son hugged each other and cried, but Su Han was aggressive, "The king took the Life-Extending Pill you gave, and it's a good luck not to kill your nine clans."
Ling Sikong's tragic song "The family dominates the sky with one hand, the princes call their ministers and take turns as puppets, the people suffer from hunger and cold, their bones are white, and the dog meat stinks in front of the family's door"
The chaotic Tianshu is like thick dark clouds in the sky, and heavy rain is approaching.
Entering official career for the first time 5
What made Murongli lose his plan was that he was overtaken by Zhiming just a day after he set off, and the two of them were resting in the same tea shed by accident.
It's just that at this moment, in the eyes of the two, the other is just a passer-by. There is a curtain made of straw between the table where the two are sitting. Murong Li just glanced at the boy who was wearing black clothes and couldn't see his face clearly. Other passers-by in the tea shed were chatting about the court defense of Princess Yaoguang; the cynical Zhiming missed the hour for fun, and the heroic feats he had done along the way.
On the other side of the tea shed, Zhi Ming's face turned blue and purple, the Tai Tuo gave a fierce look at Zhi Ming who was about to erupt, Zhi Ming had no choice but to hold back everything, his expression was worse than eating ten Coptis chinensis Unsightly, Mo Lan was caught in the middle and calmly acted as a mouse in the bellows. Seeing that the tea in the Taifu's tea bowl was about to bottom out, she hurriedly sat up straight and filled it up herself.The Tai Tuo stared at Mo Lan again, just in time to meet Mo Lan's aggrieved eyes, and drank the tea helplessly.
One of them said with gusto, "That day when Crown Prince Zhiming passed by Tianxuan Qixing County, he happened to meet local students at a camellia party. The prince who went to join in the fun was punished for writing a poem because he was a newcomer, and he made a proposition with unrewarded ambition. Guess, the prince What poem did His Highness write?"
Everyone echoed, "What?"
The man stood up from the bench and said, "Teacher talks a lot of nonsense, troublesome and long-winded. Life is a man of heaven, and death is the soul of heaven. It is impossible for me to approve memorials. Time is not like an arrow, and the sun and the moon are not as fast as a shuttle." Homework is all based on editing, and if you make mistakes, you will be punished for copying. Year after year, I hate this."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Murong Li was originally drinking herbal tea calmly, but after listening to this poem, the tea that entered his throat almost spewed out, then he coughed lightly to cover up his gaffe, Fang Ye lowered his head and forced a smile.Everyone laughed heartily, only Zhi Ming on one side wanted to find a hole to get in.
Susu Palace
In Yuxuan's study room, the memorials were scattered on the ground, telling their own stories.The exquisitely crafted purple jade teapot shattered into wreckage with a bang.
Yuxuan said to the servants beside her, "Immediately send an urgent secret letter to recall Murongli, and let him come back quickly."
In the gazebo under the Fuyu Mountain in Yaoguang, Murongli looked at the pink and plain flowers all over the mountain, and smelled the elegant and heart-warming fragrance of the flowers. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "It still smells so familiar and nice."
Then he played a flute, the sound of the flute was melodious and melodious, but full of traces of sadness.Not far away, in order to meet Murongli who belittled himself, Zhi Ming and Mrs. Mo Lan rode to Fuyu Mountain one step at a time. Hearing the melodious and sad sound of flute, the two of them felt lost in their hearts. They looked towards the source and fell into the The person in the line of sight is a man in a light red long coat standing sideways holding a flute. His long and straight black hair crosses his hips, making him look even more attractive under the breeze. Dao: Is this the legendary banishing fairy?
The sound of the flute is charming, and the person is even more charming.Zhi Ming was fascinated by watching immediately.Mo Lan "There is such a good news in the world, it really is a lingering sound"
Zhiming took a long time before softly saying, "He is really a wonderful person"
Fang Ye: "Master, what tune is this, why have I never heard it before, the tune is full of longing"
Murongli looked at Fang Ye and smiled slightly, "It's just an ordinary song."
Fang Ye scratched his head in doubt, the snow-white carrier pigeon landed on the fence of the gazebo.
Fang Ye handed a scroll with a red wax seal to Murongli. After Murongli read it, the two of them immediately rode up to Fuyu Mountain.Zhiming Mo Lan also hurried to catch up, but unfortunately he was still one step short.
One step away is just one step, but if you want to make up for the difference, sometimes you only need to take a big step to be on par with it, but sometimes, you are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. no period.
When Zhiming reached the end of the mountain road and saw a majestic temple, Tiancheng Temple, the two of them entered the temple, searched the entire temple, but did not see Murongli, and asked all the little Taoist priests in the temple. I've seen men in red and black.
Zhiming entered the main hall and turned around casually before coming out, but when he came out, he collided with Xiaodao who was holding a stick holder, causing the Xiaodao's sticks to be scattered all over the ground, Zhi Ming bent down to pick up the sticks under his feet, and saw After looking at the words on the signature, Fu handed the signature to Xiaodao again, and before Xiaodao took Zhiming's signature and put it in, a kind old Taoist held it in his hand and looked at it.The old Taoist looked at the lottery and then at Zhi Ming said, "My lord, your lottery"
Zhiming smiled politely, "This is not my signature."
But the old Taoist said, "Fortune is also a misfortune, but it is not a misfortune, and misfortune is also a blessing, but it is not a blessing. Everyone in the world is innocent, and you will never be repaid in your life." When the old Taoist finished speaking, Zhiming had gone far.
Only the old Taoist shook his head repeatedly and said to himself, "It's fate..."
The two went down the mountain, Yaoguang City was not far away, the Taifu hadn't arrived yet, the two had to wait for the Taifu in the gazebo where Murongli stayed just now.
Murongli Fang Ye went up to the middle of the mountain and took the fork in the road. This is a shortcut road leading directly to the back mountain. The mountain road is rugged and steep, but it is sparsely populated and few people know it. Murongli survived by taking this road back then.
Fang Ye's "The Urgent Secret Letter"
Murongli, "The son of the general who protects the country is greedy for beauty and ruined the innocence of a restaurant girl. The grand master's nephew beat her up and seriously injured on the spot."
Fang Ye was a little dissatisfied, "Let's leave it to the legal department to investigate and deal with it according to the law. Why should the master go there in person? Could it be that the king needs you to handle such trivial matters yourself?"
Murongli looked at Fang Ye, "You, you can't just look at the surface when things happen. The girl who was humiliated is the wife of the grand master's nephew who hasn't married yet. Old General Mu and the grand master are both veterans of the three dynasties, and their power is intertwined. If you are not careful, the consequences will be unimaginable, not to mention that General Mu still holds the military power. Pass the news to Geng Yin, and be sure to check carefully this precious son of General Mu. Oh...Did I say that I would go to sleep?"
Fang Ye was bewildered, "Then this is": I thought the Lord would take a shortcut...
Murong Li, "You will know when you arrive, just write a letter about this matter, not to mention that A Yu will be returning to Yaoguang in these two days, how could Murong Li appear in two places at the same time, so my painstaking efforts for so many years will be in vain."
Fang Ye's "Mission of the Right of Heaven"
Murong Li, "Just let Taishi Shi Zhouyi entertain him."
Tianshu Palace
Meng Zhang made deals with the three great families, and ascended the throne under the support of the family's power.As soon as he came to power, Ling Yuan was promoted to succeed his father as Sikong.
In an open place in the outskirts, there are large and small graveyards. A young man in plain white long clothes under a black cloak kneels in front of the newly built tombstone, with a water mark on his beautiful, pure and refined face. "Mother, the child is here to see you"
Zhou Liang stood upright behind him, and Geng Chen stood out in front of Zhou Liang like a ghost.After Murong Yu went to the grave, Zhou Liang drove his carriage into the city, but at the corner of the street, he collided with a middle-aged man with a fierce face and small eyes who was riding a white horse.Inside the carriage, Murong Yu's whole body collided violently with the carriage, and the white gauze bamboo hat also fell off.
The man was very tricky and ruthless, he patted the dust on his buttocks and rushed towards the carriage. Zhou Liang, who hadn't recovered, was knocked out by the man's punch to the head, and he cursed angrily with unbearable words, Lifting the curtain, he saw Murong Yu whose face was a little red due to nervousness, staring at Murong Yu in a daze, without even blinking.
The sudden look and the smell of alcohol made Murong Yu feel uncomfortable, and a cold voice floated out from the thin cherry lips, "What's the matter, my lord?"
Only then did the man come to his senses and said, "My lord's carriage hit and injured my young horse, my lord, what should I do?" Murong Yu was a little flustered, and the blush on his cheeks intensified. For a man who is still full of alcohol and has not vented his alcohol, Murong Yu at this moment is tantamount to a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.
Murong Yu gradually revealed a trace of disdain, "A horse, I just want to accompany you."
The man smiled charmingly and said, "Young master, I am a thousand-mile horse that came in from Tianshu, I'm afraid, young master..." But the whole person has already climbed into the carriage, Murong Yu doesn't know martial arts, and it's okay to come here. Before finishing speaking, he was kicked out of the carriage severely by Murong Yu. The man got up to get the horsewhip that fell on the ground and swung it at Murong Yu who was helping Zhou Liang. Suddenly, a sharp arrow shot directly through the carriage. The man's forearm was heavily inserted into the tree trunk next to him. Mo Lan saw that his result was not bad, then nodded in satisfaction, and looked at Zhi Ming like a child who finished his homework begging for candy, "Your Highness, how are you?" ?”
Zhi Ming smiled and said, "That's right, I will reward you with whatever you want when you go back."
Mo Lan immediately bowed happily and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
When Zhi Ming stepped forward and waited until he could clearly see the person supporting Zhou Liang, Mo Lan also widened those clear eyes, and both of them were both surprised and happy.
Zhiming "Young Master, are you all right?"
Murong Yu's complexion was a little pale at the moment, fine beads of sweat could be seen below the hairline as delicate as jade, and his mind was full of the night when Mu Ronghua died.
Zhi Ming winked at Mo Lan and signaled Mo Lan to help Zhou Liang, and Mo Lan took the man in Murong Yu's arms knowingly.Murong Yu glanced at Zhiming and said softly, "Thank you, my lord, for saving the siege."
Seeing that Murong Yu's expression was not good, Zhi Ming said, "My lord, let's find a place to rest for a while"
Murong Yu nodded slightly, his limp body sank slightly, Zhi Ming gently supported the person in his arms, his arms were careful not to use force, as if a little force would hurt the other party, Zhi Ming's heart In the depths, for the first time, I had the desire to protect someone.
The man who was nailed to the tree trunk was still struggling while spitting out words even more filthy than moya (shit).When Fatty came forward and said something to the man, the man fell silent instantly, leaning limply on the tree trunk.
On the backside of Fuyu Mountain, there are three wooden houses made of bamboo surrounded by a fence full of vines. Murong Li got off his horse and looked at the old wooden house in front of him and refused to knock on the door. Fang Ye also followed behind Murong Li Standing there, he didn't talk as much as usual. Although Fang Ye couldn't see Murongli's expression, he felt that the atmosphere around him was unusually oppressive. The master and servant stood like this from noon to sunset on the west hill before Murongli spoke softly. Said "Call me Ah Cheng later" Fang Ye hummed softly
Murongli "Did you bring the things I asked you to buy?" Fang Ye immediately handed the package to Murongli.
A woman who came back with a half mask and a hoe saw Murongli from a long distance, so she trotted all the way to Murongli's side. The girl looked only in her teens, about the same age as Murongli. The mask on the girl's face was as bright as the moon. Carved with exquisite patterns, it looks out of place with the plain linen clothes.Seeing Murongli, he looked extremely happy, even a little excited, "Brother Qing, you are here!"
Murongli smiled at the girl, "Grandma?"
girl "in the room"
Murongli was a little worried and said, "Grandma's wind and cold are so good."
The girl said, "Last time I took the medicine you sent me, and I was fine in three days. Now, I eat more than me in one meal." The girl just looked up at Murongli who was a head and a half taller than herself, and her face There is an enviable smile on his face.
Murong Li's complexion improved slightly, and he turned his head to look at the wooden house again, his eyes involuntarily became deep.
The girl was a little disappointed and lowered her head and murmured, "Aren't you going in again? Grandma misses you very much."
Murongli turned around, and Shen gently took a piece of grass hidden in the girl's bun, Fang Ye had never seen that gentle lake-like look in his eyes.
Murongli said softly to the girl, "Take these things back home, and there are Qionghua cakes you love inside." After a pause, "I won't go in, take care of grandma and myself, if you need anything, just write to... "
The girl looked at this mention and hesitated, Murong Li pretended to be a little impatient and said, "Okay, okay, how many times, my ears are almost callused."
Murongli said again, "The thing in the red kit is your birthday present."
The girl looked at Murong Li and pouted, "That's so good, thank you Brother Qing"
Murong Li Fang Ye rode away, and the girl just stood upright stupidly looking at the blurred figure in the distance, she didn't know if it was blurred by the dark night, or it was the tears in her eyes.
Inside the wooden house, the gray-haired grandmother closed the window with a gap, staggered on crutches and groped slowly to the tablet table with no engraving, and said tearfully, "Grandson, Ayu came to see you." The tears fell instantly. It fell and hit the rough, wrinkled hand that was gripping the cane.
Night above the bumpy horseback down the mountain "Master, that girl's face just now"
Murong Li, "It was burned, but General Qi saved it. Both parents died, so she was allowed to follow Mrs. Qi later."
Fang Ye said in disbelief, "Madam Qi, could it be?"
Murongli took a deep breath and then nodded slightly.
The little girl in the wooden house was a little disappointed and said, "Grandma, Brother Xi is here, but he still won't come in."
The old lady covered the corners of her eyes and smiled, "Why, you're not happy."
The little girl suddenly remembered something and said excitedly, "Grandma, today I heard from the old man Wang at the foot of the mountain that the newly appointed princess ordered the entire county to be exempted from taxes for a year as soon as he took office, and he is also very young and handsome. Beautiful" when she thought of her elder brother's cheeks a slight blush began to appear, but the blush disappeared instantly when she touched her face.
Old Madam, "What's the name of the princess?"
The little girl "seems to be called, called, by the way, called Murongli"
The hand of the old lady holding the tea cup trembled for a moment.
Little girl, "Grandma, why don't you come in every time? He is so worried about you, but he never sees you when he comes to see you, as if he is probably avoiding you. And he never stays longer than A quarter of an hour. Does he dislike me?" As she spoke, her pink lips curled up involuntarily.
The old lady "It's not disgust, it's protection. In the future, don't go to the stone lion if there is no important matter"
The little girl was a little dissatisfied and said, "Why?"
The old lady's kind complexion became much darker, and she spoke slowly after a while, "Because, Xi'er can't have fetters, and we are the fetters he can't let go of. If others find out, your elder brother will be in danger. Today You have to remember what grandma said."
The little girl attached herself to the old lady's lap and nodded earnestly. Although she didn't quite understand what she said, she knew that doing so would be beneficial and harmless to her elder brother.
In the private room on the second floor of Zuixian Building, Zhiming ordered dishes and asked, "Ben, my name is Zhiming, and I haven't asked you about my son's name yet."
Murong Yu said indifferently, "I'm Murong Yu, you can just call me A Yu."
Zhi Ming looked at Murong Yu, happened to meet Murong Yu and looked into his own eyes, and couldn't help lowering his head and said, "Ah Yu, do you like to eat?"
Murong Yu said lightly, "Grilled fish head"
Zhi Ming's hand flipping through the recipes paused slightly, and the corners of his mouth almost couldn't close the smile. : Ayu, Ayu who likes to eat fish heads, is that you?
And in Yaoxianju, opposite Zuixianlou, Murongli was discussing with Zhouyi and the Taifu about some matters concerning the trade between the two places.
Fang Ye entered the room in a hurry, and whispered something in Murongli's ear, Murongli was still indifferent, but turned the wine glass in his hand a few times. "It's okay, you will prepare two carriages and go back to the house in person."
Murong Li procrastinated the conversation, Fang Ye took A Yu and Zhi Ming back to the princess mansion, but the two took separate cars.Fang Ye sent back to the mansion and drove Murongli and Taifu back in a carriage.That night, I received an urgent secret report from Tianquan that the Lord of Tianquan was critically ill, and the Ming Taifu set off to return to China before the sky was bright.
After Geng Yin's investigation was clear, there was also news, and Murongli wrote to inform Yuxuan of a plan
Entering official career for the first time 6
Stay in the palace
Mu Liang suppressed his anger and came to Yuxuan's study, "Your Majesty, although my son made a big mistake, your Majesty has been loyal to my Mu family for generations, please let Chao'er go."
Yuxuan got up and helped the old man who was kneeling on the ground, frowning and sighing softly, "Old general, it's not that this king doesn't miss the old relationship, it's just that this matter has caused a lot of trouble in the city. If this king releases little general Mu now, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble." To arouse public grievances, I have to wrong General Mu and stay in prison for a few days, waiting for the limelight to pass, and it will not be too late to let him go."
General Mu stood up, thanked Yuxuan, and retreated.
Yuxuan, "The old general stayed behind, Xiaogui, and brought the tonic that I paid tribute to yesterday. The old general made great military exploits for me, and taking these back to make up for it is a thank you gift from the king and the people of the world."
After the old general shied away, he still took it with him.
I originally thought that things would be much calmer after half a month, but things became more troublesome, and even literati changed them into nursery rhymes and sang them among the people.
General Mu has always been on good terms with the Taiwei, so he went to visit the Taiwei's house in order to find a way to save him, but he couldn't even enter the Taiwei's mansion.
General Mu flung his sleeves away in a fit of anger, and when he returned home he yelled at the Taiwei for crossing the river and tearing down the bridge.The wife who went to visit her son in prison came back crying and knelt down on the ground, crying and scolding Muliang, the great general who protected the country for saving the country, but could not save his own son.
Mu Chao caught the wind and cold in the prison, and was severely beaten by the grand master's nephew, and now he is unconscious.The people sent by General Mu came back and said that the Taiwei had visited the Captain's Mansion many times in the past few days, and the servants who had been bribed by the Captain's Mansion said that they had heard about the embezzlement of military pay many times. It also softened, as if it lost its support in an instant
At this time, the attendant who hurried in gave the old general an unsigned letter, which stated that the eldest son of General Mu did not fall off the cliff while hunting, but was framed by someone to fall off the cliff.It also said that the person who designed it was the current king, and General Mu angrily walked towards the palace with his saber in hand.
Taiwei, "Have you dealt with the accounts that you have been asked to deal with?"
The captain smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, everything has been cleaned up, and I guarantee that no problem will be found on your head."
Taiwei smiled happily
In the palace, Yuxuan looked at the wooden beams carrying a big knife up the hall, and her worried expression became much calmer.
As soon as the wooden beam entered the main hall, a strong fragrance rushed towards his face, and the anger in his chest was instantly ignited, but in the end, a trace of reason suppressed him, and he still didn't make an overstepping move, and angrily said to Yuxuan, "My son Qi, I fell off a cliff and died three years ago, I don’t know if the king still remembers it.”
Several ministers discussing matters in the palace were frightened by this old general with a fierce face and full of hostility.At this time, the captain came to the main hall with a thick account book to sue Muliang, the general protecting the country, for embezzling 10 taels of silver for the army.
General Mu listened to this crime. He once coveted the military salary for a while, but it was only a hundred taels. Now this crime is like a knife stabbed into his chest. What came was the betrayal of the king he was loyal to and the people. Thinking of this, the last sliver of sanity of this ever-victorious general vanished. The eyes glaring at the people were covered with bright red blood, and the blood in the neck rushed straight up. The tip of the big knife in his hand wiped out the flames on the ground, and in just a moment, the head of the captain fell to the ground, blood splattered everywhere, and there was a panic in the hall. The old general fought in the majestic and solemn Xuanzheng Hall, and finally the old general died, lying quietly on the ground with his eyes open like that, maybe what he is talking about is now.
Mu Chao was finally sentenced in accordance with the law, cut off his military post, demoted to the common people and distributed to the frontier, leaving the general's mansion and general's salary under the management of Mrs. Mu.
On the tenth day after Zhiming returned, Zhixuan died of illness, and Zhiming ascended the throne in early July of Juntian 334.
Yuxuan and Yuxiao sat around a table and had dinner together, Yuxiao "Congratulate Brother Wang for taking back the military power"
Yuxuan felt a little regretful, "It's a pity that Old General Mu's first fame was ruined by that ineffective son."
Yu Xiao, "I don't understand. General Mu has a blunt personality but has always been rational. How could he be so demented this time and commit an assassination in front of the palace?"
Yuxie, "The king just sent someone to prevent General Mu from meeting with the Taiwei, and sent the captain to investigate the corruption of military pay."
Yuxuan knows that this method is sorry for Muliang, but it is also the best method for him now, but Yuxuan regained his military power, got rid of the moth captain, saw the situation in the court clearly, and gained a lot from the grand master. The hearts of the party and the people, but also let Yuxiu know that Mu Rongli is a person who has to do.
Murongli looked at the reports piled up on the table like a mountain, and turned the teacup in his hand back and forth.Fang Ye came in with a snack and gently placed it in front of the table, "Master, it's not too late to see after a while." Murong Li picked up the snow-white pastry and took a bite
Geng Chen hurried in, "Master, there is news from Xunsu that the general protecting the country hanged himself in the Xuanzheng Hall, and his son Mu Chao was dispatched to the frontier." Then he handed over a delicate porcelain white vial, "This is from King Xunsu. Antidote"
The corner of Murong Li's mouth curled up slightly, then he regained his composure and said, "You put it away first."
Fang Ye was a little puzzled and said, "Master, don't let anyone test it."
Murong Li leaned limply on the seat, "It's not necessary, I helped him solve the tricky potato, he will definitely take it seriously, otherwise, what will happen next time?"
Geng Chen, "Subordinates don't know that General Namu is a generation of Zhongliang, how could he hang himself?"
Murongli's "Hanging himself is just a nice way of saying things"
Fang Ye: "A speech?"
Murongli "I was afraid that it was General Mu who assassinated him in front of the palace, so in order to prevent it from spreading bad news, he pretended that he hanged himself."
Geng Chen, "The old general is loyal, how could he assassinate in front of the palace?"
Murongli said, "It's medicine. Yuxuan bestowed the old general with tonics. The old general is upright and forthright, with abundant liver qi, and the tonics given are all important medicines for nourishing the liver and kidneys. In this way, it will explode with just a little stimulation. For a A general who has been loyal to the country all his life, is abandoned and betrayed by the people he personally protects, but his loyalty for generations will bear the eternal infamy of being corrupt and perverting the law; and for a father who only has four sons left, there is nothing he can do to save him. In addition, the Taiwei who has always been a good friend has fallen into trouble, no matter what kind of people will lose control."
Murong Li got up and walked to the window, watching the blooming flowers outside the window and played the flute.As if mourning for the dead old general Mu, the deep eyes reflected the flowers outside the window, but the invisible things flowing out of these eyes did not seem to make people happy, on the contrary seemed to have a faint disdain...
Murongli asked Yuxuan to imprison Muchao for a month, dragging down Muchao's body, spreading songs among the people to push Muliang out of the house to look for the Taiwei, and asking Yuxiu to send the captain to investigate the corruption of military pay in advance
Military salary corruption has always been envoyed by the Captain and the Taiwei. In addition, Muliang’s military discipline is strict, and corruption has been blocked many times. Captain is none other than.
In this way, the captain can close the relationship with the captain, and he can also make meritorious service. The important thing is that the captain can not only escape the crime of corruption, but also be promoted to the rank, why not do it.
Murongli knew that the Taiwei was a villain who must take revenge, so he went along with the flow and used his plan, and thus staged such a scene of cannibalism
Ever since Mu Chao's incident, the Taiwei wanted to put aside his relationship with Muliang, but the captain investigated the case, so he had to protect himself first, and then he heard the informant that Muliang was going to report his corruption to the king, so he opened the account Tampering, blaming wooden beams.As soon as Mu Liang died, only the Grand Master was left in the court to restrain the Taiwei.
Yuxuan finally ordered the wooden beam to be buried generously with the ceremony of a general.
After Murongli returned to Yaoguang, he didn't go to court for a long time, but he just finished approving the memorial every day, and if there was any improvement, he carefully corrected it one by one with a Chinese ink pen.Only the issue of trade and commerce has been slow to see progress.
Fang Ye: "Master, the rumors outside have become worse these past few days, saying that the master is in a county position, but not in charge of the government, saying that you..."
Murong Li "It doesn't matter"
Fang Ye "said that you are afraid of the imperial court and treat the position of the princess as a trifling matter, and you are unbearable as a child... the county official"
Murong Li smiled, "The effect is good, it seems it's time to show your face."
Fang Ye was a little puzzled, "Why does the master want to destroy his reputation?"
Murongli got up and slowly moved in front of Fang Ye, "Only by making those people think I'm dispensable can they expose their true nature as much as possible. After all, tigers are not afraid of sheep."
Although the mahogany-repaired hall is not big, it is still solemn and majestic. Murongli is wearing a red dress, and the cuffs of the light red gown on the outside are embroidered with a huge Yuqiong flower. Murongli walks up to the highest place of the hall step by step. He turned around and looked at the ministers. The people headed by Master Zhao and General Qin just bowed lazily and saluted. Murongli immediately sat on the mahogany carved seat inlaid with gold-edged patterns, slowly Opened the mouth, "I invite all of you to come here today, but I just want to get to know you."
He seemed to say something casually, but his eyes swept over everyone.
Murong Li leaned forward slightly and said with a half-smile, "My lords, introduce yourself if you don't mind, let's start with this general."
General Qin introduced himself confidently and loudly, Master Zhao casually said...
Shi Zhouyi, the Taishi, stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Princess, I have something to say. Yesterday a caravan of 27 people from our county was robbed on the Changyang slope [-] miles outside the city. Now there are no people and goods. There are many people involved in this matter. Also ask the princess to decide"
Murong Li, "Master Taishi will leave this matter to you to handle."
Murong Li, "This princess has one more thing to do. Send an order to recruit talented people, regardless of industry. Anyone who has a skill can apply to the Secretary of State. I don't know if you have any opinions."
Mr. Zhao hurriedly said, "The princess is not familiar with everything now, so it might be difficult to recruit newcomers now. Why don't you just wait a while, and it won't be too late to recruit when the princess is familiar with the affairs of the county."
Murong Li sat up straight with a calm and indifferent face without any expression, "Why, Mr. Zhao looks down on this princess so much?"
The sudden questioning made Mr. Zhao rub his hands a little, but in a flash he said confidently, "It has been more than a month since the princess set up a new trading department, but the merchants who have settled in it are not satisfactory. It is really..."
Murongli: "Okay, let's wait until this matter is resolved before recruiting talents"
Murong Li nestled on the soft bed and watched the memorial, Geng Chen came in, "My lord, Mr. Yu has passed the letter three times this month."
Murongli still looked at the memorial and said calmly, "The person who communicated can find out who it is."
Gengchen: "Yes, the sovereign of heaven"
Murongli "sent a message to Yang Xinyou, telling him to find some people to go to the shop to make trouble, remember, don't hurt people, and then send a letter to try to mix in with the gangsters in Changyangpo cleverly, and be sure to detain Lord Taishi, but Guarantee Taishi's safety."
Gengchen "Why Taishi was detained"
Murong Li, "General Qin is headstrong and conceited, he is conceited, and he has a good relationship with the Taishi. If he is in a hurry, he will be chaotic. This is how to strengthen his spirit. As a general, being too conceited is a taboo for military strategists."
Yang Xinyou was originally an ordinary soldier under the command of General Qi of Yaoguang. Collecting protection fees and other methods became local snakes, and Mu Ronghua colluded with the officials and gangsters, causing the merchants in the city to complain.
Ma Laosan coveted Yang Xinyou's younger sister's beauty, and finally took her by force, and beat her father to death, so her sister hanged herself. Yang Xinyou joined the Horse Gang for revenge, and later killed Ma Laosan with Murongli's power and became the leader of the gang. In order to repay his kindness, Yang Xinyou has served Murongli since then, and has since become a secret guard of Murongli.
The next day, a minister at the court asked Murongli to send troops to wipe out the bandits in Changyangpo, and Murongli ordered General Qin to lead a thousand troops to kill the bandits.
General Qin Xiang came from a mere 300 bandits, but Murongli actually sent 1000 of them, feeling that Murongli made a big fuss and underestimated himself, and rushed all the way to Changyangpo, without even checking the terrain, he rushed to fight hastily, and attacked all of them for three rounds. He did not capture the stronghold, but wounded more than [-] soldiers. When Murongli came to supervise the battle, he saw many dead and wounded soldiers lying down, and the hand holding Yanzhi turned white instantly.
Murongli "The whole army rested in place and sent 100 people to escort the wounded back to the city for medical treatment"
Murongli: "From now on, all soldiers will obey my orders"
Murongli just glanced at General Qin coldly, and General Qin took a few steps back unconsciously. This moment of eye contact made General Qin, who was always confident in his chest, feel a little timid for no reason.
Murong Li, "Fang Ye, send a message to their leader, I want to talk to him"
On the wall made of loess squatting, a dark-skinned man in shabby clothes said loudly, "My village master said that only the princess is allowed to come in."
Murongli nodded to Fang Ye, Fang Ye took a step forward with a worried look on his face, "Master, let me go with you."
Murong Li, "No, if I don't come out after an hour, you'll call every two quarters of an hour and have someone burn down one of their houses every half an hour."
The fiery red figure disappeared within the wall.
Murongli came to the room made of wooden branches. The room was very large, and a middle-aged man with thinning hair sat in the middle. When the man saw Murongli, his surprised eyes felt like they were about to pop out of their sockets.No one can easily salute such a fledgling child, let alone the king of the mountain who is used to being unrestrained and easygoing.
The man sat up from the lying body, and his slightly low voice was full of disbelief, "You, the owner of Yaoguang County, Murongli?"
The eyes widened, but the mouth remained open after speaking, like a still statue.Murongli also ignored it, walked straight to the chair next to him and sat down, lazily slumped on the backrest, his eyes kept looking at the Yanzhi he was playing with in his hand.
After a long while, the owner of the cottage said, "So the rumors are true, he is just a brat."
Only then did Murongli speak slowly, "I came today to show you a clear path, the village master."
The village owner was a little sarcasm, "Mighty way? I am a clay bodhisattva and still show the way to the village owner. It's ridiculous. I, Yaoguang, have really reached a dead end!"
Murongli: "I advise you to release Tai Shi and surrender as soon as possible."
The village master put his hands behind his back and circled around Murongli, "It's okay to let Taishi go, but it depends on the sincerity of the princess. As for surrender, I'm sorry."
Murongli was still indifferent, his handsome face showed no expression, "I'm afraid the village master will be disappointed."
Ling Yuan knelt behind Meng Zhang and knew that his father was afraid that he would die now.Before the mausoleum, Meng Zhang got up suddenly, helped Lingyuan up, and said to the officials, "I, Meng Zhang, the king of Anyuan, became sworn brothers with Shao Sikong Lingyuan before the mausoleum of the former king. Since then, we have shared weal and woe together." Then he said softly, "I don't know. Ling Shaosi is willing to become brothers with different surnames with this king."
Everyone was very surprised for a while, Su Han was caught off guard by this move, but he could only admit that he was dumb. Su Han wanted to get rid of Ling Sikong and his son together, but Meng Zhang rescued Ling Sikong with this move Getting married is the adopted son of the royal family, but it also means that the power of Prince Mengzhang will be divided, and the power of salary will be halved.) Su Han can get rid of anyone today, but he can't move the surname Meng, because the world is He belongs to the Meng family, if Ling Yuan is removed, he will bear the eternal infamy of usurping power and treason.
Lingyuan looked at the immature Meng Zhang in front of him. Kingship is so important. Now Meng Zhang is the only one in the entire Meng family who can have the power of an emperor, but Meng Zhang voluntarily gave up seizing power to save himself, and finally agreed.
Under the gate of Tianshu King City, the guards took Ling Sikong down and took him to the royal tomb.
Su Han "Sikong Ling Zhengqing, corruption, disaster relief money and food, private account books, false accusations of important court officials and other seven crimes and punishment, will be executed after three days"
Ling Sikong said in an air, "You and other treacherous villains will not end well in the end."
Lingyuan roared angrily, "The king has passed away for many days. You waited for a secret to lure my father into the city. You should be beheaded."
The father and son hugged each other and cried, but Su Han was aggressive, "The king took the Life-Extending Pill you gave, and it's a good luck not to kill your nine clans."
Ling Sikong's tragic song "The family dominates the sky with one hand, the princes call their ministers and take turns as puppets, the people suffer from hunger and cold, their bones are white, and the dog meat stinks in front of the family's door"
The chaotic Tianshu is like thick dark clouds in the sky, and heavy rain is approaching.
Entering official career for the first time 5
What made Murongli lose his plan was that he was overtaken by Zhiming just a day after he set off, and the two of them were resting in the same tea shed by accident.
It's just that at this moment, in the eyes of the two, the other is just a passer-by. There is a curtain made of straw between the table where the two are sitting. Murong Li just glanced at the boy who was wearing black clothes and couldn't see his face clearly. Other passers-by in the tea shed were chatting about the court defense of Princess Yaoguang; the cynical Zhiming missed the hour for fun, and the heroic feats he had done along the way.
On the other side of the tea shed, Zhi Ming's face turned blue and purple, the Tai Tuo gave a fierce look at Zhi Ming who was about to erupt, Zhi Ming had no choice but to hold back everything, his expression was worse than eating ten Coptis chinensis Unsightly, Mo Lan was caught in the middle and calmly acted as a mouse in the bellows. Seeing that the tea in the Taifu's tea bowl was about to bottom out, she hurriedly sat up straight and filled it up herself.The Tai Tuo stared at Mo Lan again, just in time to meet Mo Lan's aggrieved eyes, and drank the tea helplessly.
One of them said with gusto, "That day when Crown Prince Zhiming passed by Tianxuan Qixing County, he happened to meet local students at a camellia party. The prince who went to join in the fun was punished for writing a poem because he was a newcomer, and he made a proposition with unrewarded ambition. Guess, the prince What poem did His Highness write?"
Everyone echoed, "What?"
The man stood up from the bench and said, "Teacher talks a lot of nonsense, troublesome and long-winded. Life is a man of heaven, and death is the soul of heaven. It is impossible for me to approve memorials. Time is not like an arrow, and the sun and the moon are not as fast as a shuttle." Homework is all based on editing, and if you make mistakes, you will be punished for copying. Year after year, I hate this."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Murong Li was originally drinking herbal tea calmly, but after listening to this poem, the tea that entered his throat almost spewed out, then he coughed lightly to cover up his gaffe, Fang Ye lowered his head and forced a smile.Everyone laughed heartily, only Zhi Ming on one side wanted to find a hole to get in.
Susu Palace
In Yuxuan's study room, the memorials were scattered on the ground, telling their own stories.The exquisitely crafted purple jade teapot shattered into wreckage with a bang.
Yuxuan said to the servants beside her, "Immediately send an urgent secret letter to recall Murongli, and let him come back quickly."
In the gazebo under the Fuyu Mountain in Yaoguang, Murongli looked at the pink and plain flowers all over the mountain, and smelled the elegant and heart-warming fragrance of the flowers. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "It still smells so familiar and nice."
Then he played a flute, the sound of the flute was melodious and melodious, but full of traces of sadness.Not far away, in order to meet Murongli who belittled himself, Zhi Ming and Mrs. Mo Lan rode to Fuyu Mountain one step at a time. Hearing the melodious and sad sound of flute, the two of them felt lost in their hearts. They looked towards the source and fell into the The person in the line of sight is a man in a light red long coat standing sideways holding a flute. His long and straight black hair crosses his hips, making him look even more attractive under the breeze. Dao: Is this the legendary banishing fairy?
The sound of the flute is charming, and the person is even more charming.Zhi Ming was fascinated by watching immediately.Mo Lan "There is such a good news in the world, it really is a lingering sound"
Zhiming took a long time before softly saying, "He is really a wonderful person"
Fang Ye: "Master, what tune is this, why have I never heard it before, the tune is full of longing"
Murongli looked at Fang Ye and smiled slightly, "It's just an ordinary song."
Fang Ye scratched his head in doubt, the snow-white carrier pigeon landed on the fence of the gazebo.
Fang Ye handed a scroll with a red wax seal to Murongli. After Murongli read it, the two of them immediately rode up to Fuyu Mountain.Zhiming Mo Lan also hurried to catch up, but unfortunately he was still one step short.
One step away is just one step, but if you want to make up for the difference, sometimes you only need to take a big step to be on par with it, but sometimes, you are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. no period.
When Zhiming reached the end of the mountain road and saw a majestic temple, Tiancheng Temple, the two of them entered the temple, searched the entire temple, but did not see Murongli, and asked all the little Taoist priests in the temple. I've seen men in red and black.
Zhiming entered the main hall and turned around casually before coming out, but when he came out, he collided with Xiaodao who was holding a stick holder, causing the Xiaodao's sticks to be scattered all over the ground, Zhi Ming bent down to pick up the sticks under his feet, and saw After looking at the words on the signature, Fu handed the signature to Xiaodao again, and before Xiaodao took Zhiming's signature and put it in, a kind old Taoist held it in his hand and looked at it.The old Taoist looked at the lottery and then at Zhi Ming said, "My lord, your lottery"
Zhiming smiled politely, "This is not my signature."
But the old Taoist said, "Fortune is also a misfortune, but it is not a misfortune, and misfortune is also a blessing, but it is not a blessing. Everyone in the world is innocent, and you will never be repaid in your life." When the old Taoist finished speaking, Zhiming had gone far.
Only the old Taoist shook his head repeatedly and said to himself, "It's fate..."
The two went down the mountain, Yaoguang City was not far away, the Taifu hadn't arrived yet, the two had to wait for the Taifu in the gazebo where Murongli stayed just now.
Murongli Fang Ye went up to the middle of the mountain and took the fork in the road. This is a shortcut road leading directly to the back mountain. The mountain road is rugged and steep, but it is sparsely populated and few people know it. Murongli survived by taking this road back then.
Fang Ye's "The Urgent Secret Letter"
Murongli, "The son of the general who protects the country is greedy for beauty and ruined the innocence of a restaurant girl. The grand master's nephew beat her up and seriously injured on the spot."
Fang Ye was a little dissatisfied, "Let's leave it to the legal department to investigate and deal with it according to the law. Why should the master go there in person? Could it be that the king needs you to handle such trivial matters yourself?"
Murongli looked at Fang Ye, "You, you can't just look at the surface when things happen. The girl who was humiliated is the wife of the grand master's nephew who hasn't married yet. Old General Mu and the grand master are both veterans of the three dynasties, and their power is intertwined. If you are not careful, the consequences will be unimaginable, not to mention that General Mu still holds the military power. Pass the news to Geng Yin, and be sure to check carefully this precious son of General Mu. Oh...Did I say that I would go to sleep?"
Fang Ye was bewildered, "Then this is": I thought the Lord would take a shortcut...
Murong Li, "You will know when you arrive, just write a letter about this matter, not to mention that A Yu will be returning to Yaoguang in these two days, how could Murong Li appear in two places at the same time, so my painstaking efforts for so many years will be in vain."
Fang Ye's "Mission of the Right of Heaven"
Murong Li, "Just let Taishi Shi Zhouyi entertain him."
Tianshu Palace
Meng Zhang made deals with the three great families, and ascended the throne under the support of the family's power.As soon as he came to power, Ling Yuan was promoted to succeed his father as Sikong.
In an open place in the outskirts, there are large and small graveyards. A young man in plain white long clothes under a black cloak kneels in front of the newly built tombstone, with a water mark on his beautiful, pure and refined face. "Mother, the child is here to see you"
Zhou Liang stood upright behind him, and Geng Chen stood out in front of Zhou Liang like a ghost.After Murong Yu went to the grave, Zhou Liang drove his carriage into the city, but at the corner of the street, he collided with a middle-aged man with a fierce face and small eyes who was riding a white horse.Inside the carriage, Murong Yu's whole body collided violently with the carriage, and the white gauze bamboo hat also fell off.
The man was very tricky and ruthless, he patted the dust on his buttocks and rushed towards the carriage. Zhou Liang, who hadn't recovered, was knocked out by the man's punch to the head, and he cursed angrily with unbearable words, Lifting the curtain, he saw Murong Yu whose face was a little red due to nervousness, staring at Murong Yu in a daze, without even blinking.
The sudden look and the smell of alcohol made Murong Yu feel uncomfortable, and a cold voice floated out from the thin cherry lips, "What's the matter, my lord?"
Only then did the man come to his senses and said, "My lord's carriage hit and injured my young horse, my lord, what should I do?" Murong Yu was a little flustered, and the blush on his cheeks intensified. For a man who is still full of alcohol and has not vented his alcohol, Murong Yu at this moment is tantamount to a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.
Murong Yu gradually revealed a trace of disdain, "A horse, I just want to accompany you."
The man smiled charmingly and said, "Young master, I am a thousand-mile horse that came in from Tianshu, I'm afraid, young master..." But the whole person has already climbed into the carriage, Murong Yu doesn't know martial arts, and it's okay to come here. Before finishing speaking, he was kicked out of the carriage severely by Murong Yu. The man got up to get the horsewhip that fell on the ground and swung it at Murong Yu who was helping Zhou Liang. Suddenly, a sharp arrow shot directly through the carriage. The man's forearm was heavily inserted into the tree trunk next to him. Mo Lan saw that his result was not bad, then nodded in satisfaction, and looked at Zhi Ming like a child who finished his homework begging for candy, "Your Highness, how are you?" ?”
Zhi Ming smiled and said, "That's right, I will reward you with whatever you want when you go back."
Mo Lan immediately bowed happily and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
When Zhi Ming stepped forward and waited until he could clearly see the person supporting Zhou Liang, Mo Lan also widened those clear eyes, and both of them were both surprised and happy.
Zhiming "Young Master, are you all right?"
Murong Yu's complexion was a little pale at the moment, fine beads of sweat could be seen below the hairline as delicate as jade, and his mind was full of the night when Mu Ronghua died.
Zhi Ming winked at Mo Lan and signaled Mo Lan to help Zhou Liang, and Mo Lan took the man in Murong Yu's arms knowingly.Murong Yu glanced at Zhiming and said softly, "Thank you, my lord, for saving the siege."
Seeing that Murong Yu's expression was not good, Zhi Ming said, "My lord, let's find a place to rest for a while"
Murong Yu nodded slightly, his limp body sank slightly, Zhi Ming gently supported the person in his arms, his arms were careful not to use force, as if a little force would hurt the other party, Zhi Ming's heart In the depths, for the first time, I had the desire to protect someone.
The man who was nailed to the tree trunk was still struggling while spitting out words even more filthy than moya (shit).When Fatty came forward and said something to the man, the man fell silent instantly, leaning limply on the tree trunk.
On the backside of Fuyu Mountain, there are three wooden houses made of bamboo surrounded by a fence full of vines. Murong Li got off his horse and looked at the old wooden house in front of him and refused to knock on the door. Fang Ye also followed behind Murong Li Standing there, he didn't talk as much as usual. Although Fang Ye couldn't see Murongli's expression, he felt that the atmosphere around him was unusually oppressive. The master and servant stood like this from noon to sunset on the west hill before Murongli spoke softly. Said "Call me Ah Cheng later" Fang Ye hummed softly
Murongli "Did you bring the things I asked you to buy?" Fang Ye immediately handed the package to Murongli.
A woman who came back with a half mask and a hoe saw Murongli from a long distance, so she trotted all the way to Murongli's side. The girl looked only in her teens, about the same age as Murongli. The mask on the girl's face was as bright as the moon. Carved with exquisite patterns, it looks out of place with the plain linen clothes.Seeing Murongli, he looked extremely happy, even a little excited, "Brother Qing, you are here!"
Murongli smiled at the girl, "Grandma?"
girl "in the room"
Murongli was a little worried and said, "Grandma's wind and cold are so good."
The girl said, "Last time I took the medicine you sent me, and I was fine in three days. Now, I eat more than me in one meal." The girl just looked up at Murongli who was a head and a half taller than herself, and her face There is an enviable smile on his face.
Murong Li's complexion improved slightly, and he turned his head to look at the wooden house again, his eyes involuntarily became deep.
The girl was a little disappointed and lowered her head and murmured, "Aren't you going in again? Grandma misses you very much."
Murongli turned around, and Shen gently took a piece of grass hidden in the girl's bun, Fang Ye had never seen that gentle lake-like look in his eyes.
Murongli said softly to the girl, "Take these things back home, and there are Qionghua cakes you love inside." After a pause, "I won't go in, take care of grandma and myself, if you need anything, just write to... "
The girl looked at this mention and hesitated, Murong Li pretended to be a little impatient and said, "Okay, okay, how many times, my ears are almost callused."
Murongli said again, "The thing in the red kit is your birthday present."
The girl looked at Murong Li and pouted, "That's so good, thank you Brother Qing"
Murong Li Fang Ye rode away, and the girl just stood upright stupidly looking at the blurred figure in the distance, she didn't know if it was blurred by the dark night, or it was the tears in her eyes.
Inside the wooden house, the gray-haired grandmother closed the window with a gap, staggered on crutches and groped slowly to the tablet table with no engraving, and said tearfully, "Grandson, Ayu came to see you." The tears fell instantly. It fell and hit the rough, wrinkled hand that was gripping the cane.
Night above the bumpy horseback down the mountain "Master, that girl's face just now"
Murong Li, "It was burned, but General Qi saved it. Both parents died, so she was allowed to follow Mrs. Qi later."
Fang Ye said in disbelief, "Madam Qi, could it be?"
Murongli took a deep breath and then nodded slightly.
The little girl in the wooden house was a little disappointed and said, "Grandma, Brother Xi is here, but he still won't come in."
The old lady covered the corners of her eyes and smiled, "Why, you're not happy."
The little girl suddenly remembered something and said excitedly, "Grandma, today I heard from the old man Wang at the foot of the mountain that the newly appointed princess ordered the entire county to be exempted from taxes for a year as soon as he took office, and he is also very young and handsome. Beautiful" when she thought of her elder brother's cheeks a slight blush began to appear, but the blush disappeared instantly when she touched her face.
Old Madam, "What's the name of the princess?"
The little girl "seems to be called, called, by the way, called Murongli"
The hand of the old lady holding the tea cup trembled for a moment.
Little girl, "Grandma, why don't you come in every time? He is so worried about you, but he never sees you when he comes to see you, as if he is probably avoiding you. And he never stays longer than A quarter of an hour. Does he dislike me?" As she spoke, her pink lips curled up involuntarily.
The old lady "It's not disgust, it's protection. In the future, don't go to the stone lion if there is no important matter"
The little girl was a little dissatisfied and said, "Why?"
The old lady's kind complexion became much darker, and she spoke slowly after a while, "Because, Xi'er can't have fetters, and we are the fetters he can't let go of. If others find out, your elder brother will be in danger. Today You have to remember what grandma said."
The little girl attached herself to the old lady's lap and nodded earnestly. Although she didn't quite understand what she said, she knew that doing so would be beneficial and harmless to her elder brother.
In the private room on the second floor of Zuixian Building, Zhiming ordered dishes and asked, "Ben, my name is Zhiming, and I haven't asked you about my son's name yet."
Murong Yu said indifferently, "I'm Murong Yu, you can just call me A Yu."
Zhi Ming looked at Murong Yu, happened to meet Murong Yu and looked into his own eyes, and couldn't help lowering his head and said, "Ah Yu, do you like to eat?"
Murong Yu said lightly, "Grilled fish head"
Zhi Ming's hand flipping through the recipes paused slightly, and the corners of his mouth almost couldn't close the smile. : Ayu, Ayu who likes to eat fish heads, is that you?
And in Yaoxianju, opposite Zuixianlou, Murongli was discussing with Zhouyi and the Taifu about some matters concerning the trade between the two places.
Fang Ye entered the room in a hurry, and whispered something in Murongli's ear, Murongli was still indifferent, but turned the wine glass in his hand a few times. "It's okay, you will prepare two carriages and go back to the house in person."
Murong Li procrastinated the conversation, Fang Ye took A Yu and Zhi Ming back to the princess mansion, but the two took separate cars.Fang Ye sent back to the mansion and drove Murongli and Taifu back in a carriage.That night, I received an urgent secret report from Tianquan that the Lord of Tianquan was critically ill, and the Ming Taifu set off to return to China before the sky was bright.
After Geng Yin's investigation was clear, there was also news, and Murongli wrote to inform Yuxuan of a plan
Entering official career for the first time 6
Stay in the palace
Mu Liang suppressed his anger and came to Yuxuan's study, "Your Majesty, although my son made a big mistake, your Majesty has been loyal to my Mu family for generations, please let Chao'er go."
Yuxuan got up and helped the old man who was kneeling on the ground, frowning and sighing softly, "Old general, it's not that this king doesn't miss the old relationship, it's just that this matter has caused a lot of trouble in the city. If this king releases little general Mu now, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble." To arouse public grievances, I have to wrong General Mu and stay in prison for a few days, waiting for the limelight to pass, and it will not be too late to let him go."
General Mu stood up, thanked Yuxuan, and retreated.
Yuxuan, "The old general stayed behind, Xiaogui, and brought the tonic that I paid tribute to yesterday. The old general made great military exploits for me, and taking these back to make up for it is a thank you gift from the king and the people of the world."
After the old general shied away, he still took it with him.
I originally thought that things would be much calmer after half a month, but things became more troublesome, and even literati changed them into nursery rhymes and sang them among the people.
General Mu has always been on good terms with the Taiwei, so he went to visit the Taiwei's house in order to find a way to save him, but he couldn't even enter the Taiwei's mansion.
General Mu flung his sleeves away in a fit of anger, and when he returned home he yelled at the Taiwei for crossing the river and tearing down the bridge.The wife who went to visit her son in prison came back crying and knelt down on the ground, crying and scolding Muliang, the great general who protected the country for saving the country, but could not save his own son.
Mu Chao caught the wind and cold in the prison, and was severely beaten by the grand master's nephew, and now he is unconscious.The people sent by General Mu came back and said that the Taiwei had visited the Captain's Mansion many times in the past few days, and the servants who had been bribed by the Captain's Mansion said that they had heard about the embezzlement of military pay many times. It also softened, as if it lost its support in an instant
At this time, the attendant who hurried in gave the old general an unsigned letter, which stated that the eldest son of General Mu did not fall off the cliff while hunting, but was framed by someone to fall off the cliff.It also said that the person who designed it was the current king, and General Mu angrily walked towards the palace with his saber in hand.
Taiwei, "Have you dealt with the accounts that you have been asked to deal with?"
The captain smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, everything has been cleaned up, and I guarantee that no problem will be found on your head."
Taiwei smiled happily
In the palace, Yuxuan looked at the wooden beams carrying a big knife up the hall, and her worried expression became much calmer.
As soon as the wooden beam entered the main hall, a strong fragrance rushed towards his face, and the anger in his chest was instantly ignited, but in the end, a trace of reason suppressed him, and he still didn't make an overstepping move, and angrily said to Yuxuan, "My son Qi, I fell off a cliff and died three years ago, I don’t know if the king still remembers it.”
Several ministers discussing matters in the palace were frightened by this old general with a fierce face and full of hostility.At this time, the captain came to the main hall with a thick account book to sue Muliang, the general protecting the country, for embezzling 10 taels of silver for the army.
General Mu listened to this crime. He once coveted the military salary for a while, but it was only a hundred taels. Now this crime is like a knife stabbed into his chest. What came was the betrayal of the king he was loyal to and the people. Thinking of this, the last sliver of sanity of this ever-victorious general vanished. The eyes glaring at the people were covered with bright red blood, and the blood in the neck rushed straight up. The tip of the big knife in his hand wiped out the flames on the ground, and in just a moment, the head of the captain fell to the ground, blood splattered everywhere, and there was a panic in the hall. The old general fought in the majestic and solemn Xuanzheng Hall, and finally the old general died, lying quietly on the ground with his eyes open like that, maybe what he is talking about is now.
Mu Chao was finally sentenced in accordance with the law, cut off his military post, demoted to the common people and distributed to the frontier, leaving the general's mansion and general's salary under the management of Mrs. Mu.
On the tenth day after Zhiming returned, Zhixuan died of illness, and Zhiming ascended the throne in early July of Juntian 334.
Yuxuan and Yuxiao sat around a table and had dinner together, Yuxiao "Congratulate Brother Wang for taking back the military power"
Yuxuan felt a little regretful, "It's a pity that Old General Mu's first fame was ruined by that ineffective son."
Yu Xiao, "I don't understand. General Mu has a blunt personality but has always been rational. How could he be so demented this time and commit an assassination in front of the palace?"
Yuxie, "The king just sent someone to prevent General Mu from meeting with the Taiwei, and sent the captain to investigate the corruption of military pay."
Yuxuan knows that this method is sorry for Muliang, but it is also the best method for him now, but Yuxuan regained his military power, got rid of the moth captain, saw the situation in the court clearly, and gained a lot from the grand master. The hearts of the party and the people, but also let Yuxiu know that Mu Rongli is a person who has to do.
Murongli looked at the reports piled up on the table like a mountain, and turned the teacup in his hand back and forth.Fang Ye came in with a snack and gently placed it in front of the table, "Master, it's not too late to see after a while." Murong Li picked up the snow-white pastry and took a bite
Geng Chen hurried in, "Master, there is news from Xunsu that the general protecting the country hanged himself in the Xuanzheng Hall, and his son Mu Chao was dispatched to the frontier." Then he handed over a delicate porcelain white vial, "This is from King Xunsu. Antidote"
The corner of Murong Li's mouth curled up slightly, then he regained his composure and said, "You put it away first."
Fang Ye was a little puzzled and said, "Master, don't let anyone test it."
Murong Li leaned limply on the seat, "It's not necessary, I helped him solve the tricky potato, he will definitely take it seriously, otherwise, what will happen next time?"
Geng Chen, "Subordinates don't know that General Namu is a generation of Zhongliang, how could he hang himself?"
Murongli's "Hanging himself is just a nice way of saying things"
Fang Ye: "A speech?"
Murongli "I was afraid that it was General Mu who assassinated him in front of the palace, so in order to prevent it from spreading bad news, he pretended that he hanged himself."
Geng Chen, "The old general is loyal, how could he assassinate in front of the palace?"
Murongli said, "It's medicine. Yuxuan bestowed the old general with tonics. The old general is upright and forthright, with abundant liver qi, and the tonics given are all important medicines for nourishing the liver and kidneys. In this way, it will explode with just a little stimulation. For a A general who has been loyal to the country all his life, is abandoned and betrayed by the people he personally protects, but his loyalty for generations will bear the eternal infamy of being corrupt and perverting the law; and for a father who only has four sons left, there is nothing he can do to save him. In addition, the Taiwei who has always been a good friend has fallen into trouble, no matter what kind of people will lose control."
Murong Li got up and walked to the window, watching the blooming flowers outside the window and played the flute.As if mourning for the dead old general Mu, the deep eyes reflected the flowers outside the window, but the invisible things flowing out of these eyes did not seem to make people happy, on the contrary seemed to have a faint disdain...
Murongli asked Yuxuan to imprison Muchao for a month, dragging down Muchao's body, spreading songs among the people to push Muliang out of the house to look for the Taiwei, and asking Yuxiu to send the captain to investigate the corruption of military pay in advance
Military salary corruption has always been envoyed by the Captain and the Taiwei. In addition, Muliang’s military discipline is strict, and corruption has been blocked many times. Captain is none other than.
In this way, the captain can close the relationship with the captain, and he can also make meritorious service. The important thing is that the captain can not only escape the crime of corruption, but also be promoted to the rank, why not do it.
Murongli knew that the Taiwei was a villain who must take revenge, so he went along with the flow and used his plan, and thus staged such a scene of cannibalism
Ever since Mu Chao's incident, the Taiwei wanted to put aside his relationship with Muliang, but the captain investigated the case, so he had to protect himself first, and then he heard the informant that Muliang was going to report his corruption to the king, so he opened the account Tampering, blaming wooden beams.As soon as Mu Liang died, only the Grand Master was left in the court to restrain the Taiwei.
Yuxuan finally ordered the wooden beam to be buried generously with the ceremony of a general.
After Murongli returned to Yaoguang, he didn't go to court for a long time, but he just finished approving the memorial every day, and if there was any improvement, he carefully corrected it one by one with a Chinese ink pen.Only the issue of trade and commerce has been slow to see progress.
Fang Ye: "Master, the rumors outside have become worse these past few days, saying that the master is in a county position, but not in charge of the government, saying that you..."
Murong Li "It doesn't matter"
Fang Ye "said that you are afraid of the imperial court and treat the position of the princess as a trifling matter, and you are unbearable as a child... the county official"
Murong Li smiled, "The effect is good, it seems it's time to show your face."
Fang Ye was a little puzzled, "Why does the master want to destroy his reputation?"
Murongli got up and slowly moved in front of Fang Ye, "Only by making those people think I'm dispensable can they expose their true nature as much as possible. After all, tigers are not afraid of sheep."
Although the mahogany-repaired hall is not big, it is still solemn and majestic. Murongli is wearing a red dress, and the cuffs of the light red gown on the outside are embroidered with a huge Yuqiong flower. Murongli walks up to the highest place of the hall step by step. He turned around and looked at the ministers. The people headed by Master Zhao and General Qin just bowed lazily and saluted. Murongli immediately sat on the mahogany carved seat inlaid with gold-edged patterns, slowly Opened the mouth, "I invite all of you to come here today, but I just want to get to know you."
He seemed to say something casually, but his eyes swept over everyone.
Murong Li leaned forward slightly and said with a half-smile, "My lords, introduce yourself if you don't mind, let's start with this general."
General Qin introduced himself confidently and loudly, Master Zhao casually said...
Shi Zhouyi, the Taishi, stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Princess, I have something to say. Yesterday a caravan of 27 people from our county was robbed on the Changyang slope [-] miles outside the city. Now there are no people and goods. There are many people involved in this matter. Also ask the princess to decide"
Murong Li, "Master Taishi will leave this matter to you to handle."
Murong Li, "This princess has one more thing to do. Send an order to recruit talented people, regardless of industry. Anyone who has a skill can apply to the Secretary of State. I don't know if you have any opinions."
Mr. Zhao hurriedly said, "The princess is not familiar with everything now, so it might be difficult to recruit newcomers now. Why don't you just wait a while, and it won't be too late to recruit when the princess is familiar with the affairs of the county."
Murong Li sat up straight with a calm and indifferent face without any expression, "Why, Mr. Zhao looks down on this princess so much?"
The sudden questioning made Mr. Zhao rub his hands a little, but in a flash he said confidently, "It has been more than a month since the princess set up a new trading department, but the merchants who have settled in it are not satisfactory. It is really..."
Murongli: "Okay, let's wait until this matter is resolved before recruiting talents"
Murong Li nestled on the soft bed and watched the memorial, Geng Chen came in, "My lord, Mr. Yu has passed the letter three times this month."
Murongli still looked at the memorial and said calmly, "The person who communicated can find out who it is."
Gengchen: "Yes, the sovereign of heaven"
Murongli "sent a message to Yang Xinyou, telling him to find some people to go to the shop to make trouble, remember, don't hurt people, and then send a letter to try to mix in with the gangsters in Changyangpo cleverly, and be sure to detain Lord Taishi, but Guarantee Taishi's safety."
Gengchen "Why Taishi was detained"
Murong Li, "General Qin is headstrong and conceited, he is conceited, and he has a good relationship with the Taishi. If he is in a hurry, he will be chaotic. This is how to strengthen his spirit. As a general, being too conceited is a taboo for military strategists."
Yang Xinyou was originally an ordinary soldier under the command of General Qi of Yaoguang. Collecting protection fees and other methods became local snakes, and Mu Ronghua colluded with the officials and gangsters, causing the merchants in the city to complain.
Ma Laosan coveted Yang Xinyou's younger sister's beauty, and finally took her by force, and beat her father to death, so her sister hanged herself. Yang Xinyou joined the Horse Gang for revenge, and later killed Ma Laosan with Murongli's power and became the leader of the gang. In order to repay his kindness, Yang Xinyou has served Murongli since then, and has since become a secret guard of Murongli.
The next day, a minister at the court asked Murongli to send troops to wipe out the bandits in Changyangpo, and Murongli ordered General Qin to lead a thousand troops to kill the bandits.
General Qin Xiang came from a mere 300 bandits, but Murongli actually sent 1000 of them, feeling that Murongli made a big fuss and underestimated himself, and rushed all the way to Changyangpo, without even checking the terrain, he rushed to fight hastily, and attacked all of them for three rounds. He did not capture the stronghold, but wounded more than [-] soldiers. When Murongli came to supervise the battle, he saw many dead and wounded soldiers lying down, and the hand holding Yanzhi turned white instantly.
Murongli "The whole army rested in place and sent 100 people to escort the wounded back to the city for medical treatment"
Murongli: "From now on, all soldiers will obey my orders"
Murongli just glanced at General Qin coldly, and General Qin took a few steps back unconsciously. This moment of eye contact made General Qin, who was always confident in his chest, feel a little timid for no reason.
Murong Li, "Fang Ye, send a message to their leader, I want to talk to him"
On the wall made of loess squatting, a dark-skinned man in shabby clothes said loudly, "My village master said that only the princess is allowed to come in."
Murongli nodded to Fang Ye, Fang Ye took a step forward with a worried look on his face, "Master, let me go with you."
Murong Li, "No, if I don't come out after an hour, you'll call every two quarters of an hour and have someone burn down one of their houses every half an hour."
The fiery red figure disappeared within the wall.
Murongli came to the room made of wooden branches. The room was very large, and a middle-aged man with thinning hair sat in the middle. When the man saw Murongli, his surprised eyes felt like they were about to pop out of their sockets.No one can easily salute such a fledgling child, let alone the king of the mountain who is used to being unrestrained and easygoing.
The man sat up from the lying body, and his slightly low voice was full of disbelief, "You, the owner of Yaoguang County, Murongli?"
The eyes widened, but the mouth remained open after speaking, like a still statue.Murongli also ignored it, walked straight to the chair next to him and sat down, lazily slumped on the backrest, his eyes kept looking at the Yanzhi he was playing with in his hand.
After a long while, the owner of the cottage said, "So the rumors are true, he is just a brat."
Only then did Murongli speak slowly, "I came today to show you a clear path, the village master."
The village owner was a little sarcasm, "Mighty way? I am a clay bodhisattva and still show the way to the village owner. It's ridiculous. I, Yaoguang, have really reached a dead end!"
Murongli: "I advise you to release Tai Shi and surrender as soon as possible."
The village master put his hands behind his back and circled around Murongli, "It's okay to let Taishi go, but it depends on the sincerity of the princess. As for surrender, I'm sorry."
Murongli was still indifferent, his handsome face showed no expression, "I'm afraid the village master will be disappointed."
