After the Queen Mother left, Mu Lianlong walked up to Xia Ziying and asked in a serious tone: "What kind of trouble are you making? Look, you are making everyone out of breath. How can this be so?"
How to work?"
Xia Ziying pouted and said angrily: "It's not that the Queen Mother needs to do this, otherwise I wouldn't know how to do it. Do you think I am willing? Originally, I was still sleeping under the quilt early in the morning, but I was forced to do it by the Queen Mother's eunuch.
I was dragged here to teach others how to dance, and I’m very tired!” She said with a grievance on her face.
Seeing her aggrieved look, Mu Lianlong looked happy, "Okay, I've wronged you, go back and have a good rest!" After saying that, he waved to the eunuch on the side and left.
Seeing that Mu Lianlong was about to go to court and the Queen Mother had left, Xia Ziying shouted to all the eunuchs who were practicing with her: "That's it for today, we're going to disperse." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and said
Then they left one by one.
Ling'er, who was left behind, saw that her master had been wronged, and immediately felt sorry for her, with a look of displeasure on her face. Seeing her look, Xia Ziying pulled her: "Okay, for my sake, just do it
Don't look so grim, you didn't realize that the emperor was joking, didn't everyone laugh in the end?"
Ling'er was pushed a few times by Xia Ziying, and then she calmed down slightly and asked: "Sister, although you are Concubine Xia now, but there are so many concubines around the emperor, will he really favor you wholeheartedly?
, after all, the emperor is also a human being, he might meet other people, this is what I have always been worried about."
Xia Ziying was touched by Ling'er's words, and she was melancholy for a long time, and sighed, "Once entering the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. No one wants to be just one of the men they love. But since God has chosen me, then by
Go ahead, instead of complaining here, it’s better to live a good life. Right? Ling’er?”
When Ling'er saw her master being so cheerful, she immediately lost her emotions and nodded!
After Mu Lianlong went to court, all the ministers had sad faces. Seeing their appearance, they asked: "My beloved sirs, if you have anything to say, please come quickly."
Still no one spoke. After a while, the boss stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it has been several months since you ascended the throne. There is still no queen in the harem. This is against the law. After all, it will only be a few months."
This is the annual ceremony to worship the heaven. If there is still no queen by then, I am afraid that people will be criticized. I ask the queen to make a decision as soon as possible."
After the old man finished speaking, Mu Lianlong finally remembered that in two months there would be an annual ceremony to worship heaven. At that time, he and the queen would represent the people of the world and pray to heaven for good weather and peace for the country and the people. His psychological state suddenly changed.
I got nervous and got up. It seemed that this matter really couldn't be postponed any longer, but how to choose? Concubine? Concubine Xiao, or did I always want to leave the position of queen to Wanru?
Mu Lianlong waved his hand, "I understand. In two months, the annual Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony will be held. I will consider the matter of the Queen carefully. Please rest assured, if there is nothing else, we will stop here.
That's all, dismissal!" Just as the eunuch was about to call out, a man suddenly came outside and shouted: "Urgent report!" He rushed in.
Seeing the panic on his face, all the ministers raised their hearts in their throats, because they saw that this soldier's uniform was specially used to report on border wars. If there was no important information, there would not be such a panic.
.
"What happened?" Before Mu Lianlong could leave, he stood up and asked the soldiers kneeling on the ground.
"Your Majesty, it's not good. Jinling Pass has been captured by Meng Guo and they are coming towards Jilin Pass. This time they are coming with unstoppable force and speed. Our border defenders were caught off guard and died in the battle.
Border." The soldier explained the cause of the matter in a panic.
"Asshole, the enemy dares to sneak attack on our country, Mu, it's so despicable!" The boss said first.
"How many enemy troops are there this time? Who is the general who leads the army?" Mu Lianlong asked eagerly. When he asked, he was mentally expecting the soldier's answer, because this suddenly made him feel a little bit worried.
Excited.
"Report to your Majesty, the enemy's army is said to be 200,000 strong. The general leading the army does not know. He only saw the word "Sun" written on the commander's flag." The soldier finished his answer with a pale face.
"Sun? Could it be Sun Sheng?" Mu Lianlong asked himself in his heart. Sun Sheng is a rare general. He once personally invited him to come out. Unfortunately, the opportunity did not come and he did not meet him in person. He did not expect that
Yes, he has not become his friend but has become his enemy. This enemy cannot be underestimated.
The old man on the side suddenly had an epiphany and said: "Could the person named Sun be Sun Sheng?"
After saying that, he stared at Mu Lianlong and continued: "It is said that this Sun Sheng was the grandson of Sun Wu. Back then, Guigu Taoist passed down the world's winning tactic, Tianji Art of War, to Sun Wu. After Sun Wu passed away, he passed on Tianji Art of War.
It was left to their descendants. Throughout the ages, they have been hiding in the mountains to study the art of war. Very few people would go out of the mountains to lead troops in war, because they understood that the art of war is a weapon that kills people unintentionally and can bring down the world.
Life is full of misfortunes and blessings for people, so they all followed the wishes of their ancestors, fulfilled their duties, studied the art of war, but did not leave the mountain, and their reputation has always been outside. How many people in the world gave away gold, silver, treasures and beautiful women, but they all regarded it as nothing. They did not expect that
Meng Guo is still selfless and can actually invite Sun Sheng, a descendant of Sun Wu, to fight. It is really unbelievable!"
Mu Lianlong also nodded, "I received a secret early in the morning. It was said that Meng Guo was recruiting talented people, but he actually recruited a unique genius with great martial arts skills that no ordinary person could defeat. I didn't even guess that it would be Sun Sheng. I thought back then.
It was an unfortunate opportunity to ask him to come out. I didn't expect that it would be like today. God is really going to play tricks on my country, Mu!"
The words between the two people made all the civil and military officials in the dynasty panic. Who dares to fight Sun Sheng, the grandson of the God of War? Isn’t that asking for death? Everyone was so frightened that they immediately stopped talking. Mu Lianlong
He glanced down and asked, "Which one of you can lead the troops on the expedition?"
There was silence below, and everyone lowered their heads. In the past, in the Mu Kingdom, Mu Lianlong was the general who protected the country. If there was any important matter, he would personally go into battle to kill the enemy. He was also skilled in warfare and won many battles. The people of the Mu Kingdom
He was given the reputation of the God of War, and now that he is the emperor, he naturally does not easily go into battle to kill the enemy, but who to send out on the expedition was a dilemma for a while.
"Your Majesty, let me go meet Sun Sheng, the son of the God of War!" Seeing that no one dared to come out, the old man clasped his fists and asked Mu Lianlong to go out to fight.
Mu Lianlong really couldn't bear it. After all, he was already a long time old and his body and bones were already failing. If anything went wrong on the battlefield, he would regret it endlessly!
"Sir, forget it. You have already devoted your whole life to the country of Mu, and your body is no longer suitable for traveling long distances. I'd better choose someone else!" Mu Lianlong said awkwardly, and then he glanced around.
He looked at the people below. He hoped that if even one person jumped out, it would be a general from his own country, Mu. However, to his disappointment, no one came out, and they all lowered their heads.
"Your Majesty, you are looking down on me. I have been fighting for so many years, and I have never been physically weak. Although I am older now, my innocence in going into battle to kill the enemy has not changed, and it is getting stronger. Your Majesty, you
Just allow me to go on an expedition, I beg you, old minister." After saying that, the old man knelt down in the court hall and kowtowed deeply.
Mu Lianlong couldn't sit still anymore, and quickly ran down from the dragon chair and helped the old man up, "Please get up quickly, my old man, it's not that I don't believe you, but your body really can't
After all this trouble, why should I go to see my father? He won't agree to it."
The old man said with sharp eyes: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will explain it to the Supreme Emperor. Don't worry, Your Majesty. As long as you agree with me, that's all. Besides, I have three children under my knees. They have grown up and must be
If you can help me, can your Majesty still not trust me?" The light in his eyes was so fierce that he stared at Xia Ziying for a long time.
Mu Lianlong bit his lip hard, and after a long time, he nodded, "Okay, I'll let you go, but you have to promise me that you must come back safely and don't make any mistakes.
Otherwise, my conscience will really not forgive me." After saying that, I held the old man's hand tightly for a long time.
Mu Lianlong looked around at this moment and gritted his teeth, "Look, when it's time for me to employ people, which one of you will serve the country like a boss? Everyone is shrinking their heads."
, no one dares to come forward to take charge, you really let me down." After saying that, he shook his sleeves fiercely, walked to the court, stood on it majestically and said, "In order to commend the boss for his contribution,
For being loyal to the country, I have been awarded first-class merit, and my three sons will serve as generals of the left, center and right armies, assisting the old man in the expedition."
After saying that, the old man immediately knelt down to thank him.
Mu Lianlong continued: "The Meng Kingdom's expedition is really ambitious. They must be annihilated. This time I will send 200,000 troops to the boss. I hope the boss will come back victorious."
The old man immediately said below: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will definitely drive away the enemy invaders and drive them out of the territory of our country of Mu. When I return victorious, I will thank you for your kindness."
After the court dispersed, Mu Lianlong returned to his palace. He asked the eunuchs to report all matters regarding the expedition at any time, and mobilized troops to the boss. The matter could not be delayed, and the expedition must be launched immediately. According to his instructions to Sun Sheng
Understand, Sun Sheng must be a quick fighter. This sudden attack, he actually conquered a pass overnight and quickly gathered to the next pass. The surprise attack method is what he is best at, and he often kills people.
