Du Jun was stunned, couldn't help but tremble, and quickly walked out and said: "Now...the emperor has been captured by them. If we don't agree to their request, the emperor will be in danger of life, but we agreed to them."
, the State of Mu will be a vassal state of the State of Meng from now on, and I am afraid that no one wants to see such a situation. It is really difficult for me to make a conclusion, so I still hope..."
When he said this, Du Jun only lowered his head and stood quietly on the spot. Mu Yunjing sat high on the temple. After looking at it, he continued: "Okay, I understand your point.
I mean, you don’t want to put the emperor in any danger, but you also want to get our country, Mu, out of trouble, but the current situation is just as you said, it’s really not easy..." Before Mu Yunjing could finish speaking, suddenly, the main hall
A cry came from outside, "Ninth brother, please, please save the emperor!"
As the sound passed, Concubine Xiao broke in despite the interception of the eunuchs. She was already sobbing loudly before she arrived. When the eunuchs saw this, they did not dare to really stop them. They could only gamble and let them go.
After a while, Xiao Ling finally came to the main hall and knelt down at once, "Ninth Prince, the emperor is your fifth brother. Even out of brotherly love, you have to rescue the emperor. Please.
"That's it." After saying that, he went to kowtow. The ministers on the side were all ashamed. Xiao Ling is now the queen, but Mu Yunjing is the regent and overseer of the country. How could he give such a great gift? Seeing this, Mu Yunjing hurriedly followed him.
She came down from the dragon chair and helped her up, saying: "Queen, please get up quickly. In this case, you will tell me how to set an example for others and how to manage the government in the future. Get up and speak first, brother."
I'm also heartbroken about the death of the minister. Aren't we discussing countermeasures with the ministers?" After saying that, he helped Xiao Ling up.
Xiao Ling stood up, took Mu Yunjing's hand and said, "Ninth brother, are you going to save your imperial brother?"
Mu Yunjing's face turned ugly. He hesitated for a moment, and then said with a wry smile, "Queen, the current military affairs are not as easy as you said. Now Meng Guo has sent a contract, saying that we, Mu
The country has professed its vassalage to Meng, paid tribute every year, and became their vassal state, otherwise the emperor's life may not be guaranteed." When he said this, Mu Yunjing couldn't help but sigh. He looked very embarrassed.
Seeing Mu Yunjing's embarrassment, Xiao Ling became mentally nervous at this time, "Okay, okay. When your brother left, he said that you would supervise and regent all major national events in the Mu country."
, you have the power of your royal brother."
The ministers heard that Xiao Ling actually asked Mu Yunjing to agree to this absurd contract because of the emperor. Immediately, several old ministers stood up and said: "Empress, military and national affairs have always been decided by the emperor or the regent.
As well as all the courtiers who came to make decisions, there has never been a precedent for the harem to interfere in politics. The ministers also know that the Queen is now worried about the safety of the emperor. I want to ask the civil and military officials in the court, who is no longer worried about the emperor, but national affairs cannot be trivial, let alone trivial.
Emotional."
Xiao Ling was not a troublesome person. He knew that what the adults said was not wrong at all, but he was still worried in his heart. He really wanted to change Mu Lianlong back. He continued sobbing: "I also know that this is not the case now.
It is time to be emotional, but I am worried about the emperor every night. Sometimes I dream about the emperor. The emperor is in the enemy camp and will be attacked by the enemy at all times. I hope you adults will understand me.
In my heart, I will try my best to rescue the emperor and return him to court."
Xiao Qi stood nearby and saw that his daughter was so affectionate. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he quietly walked over and whispered to her: "Queen, please go back for the time being. We are here."
These ministers, the emperor's safety can be left to us."
Xiao Ling raised her head and looked at her father, as if seeing a glimmer of hope, she nodded, and then bowed to Mu Yunjing, "The emperor entrusts it to you." After saying this, Xiao Cui let Xiao Cui go.
He was helped down.
Seeing the Queen leaving, Mu Yunjing took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, what can you do now?"
Xiao Qi bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please listen to what I have to say. The national affairs are worrying now. Although the matter has been sealed, the people may not know about it, so the matter should be resolved as soon as possible. If it is delayed, I am afraid there will be consequences."
The variable is, if we keep delaying and push the Meng State into a hurry, and they take the Emperor hostage to attack the city, then with the Emperor as the vanguard, our army will not dare to launch artillery defense, and the entire country of Mu will fall into the hands of the enemy.
, whichever is easier between the two, from the perspective of a humble minister, it is better to welcome the emperor back first and temporarily accept Meng Guo's request. After the emperor returns to the court, we will discuss state affairs together. This time the emperor can be easily captured. The matter is not
It's so simple. Someone must have planted a traitor in our army's operations. If we eradicate it, it's hard to say who will win in the future. After all, military strategists never have a victorious army."
What Xiao Qi said was well-founded, with pertinent words and thorough analysis. It moved everyone a little bit. Some people even agreed with him after he finished speaking. Looking at them
He looked very serious, not in a moment of excitement.
Surprisingly, Mu Yunjing did not object, but just asked the people below, "What do you think, dear ladies?" After asking, someone already echoed, and then many people nodded in agreement.
The ministers all agreed, and Mu Yun nodded, "Since all my dear friends have agreed, I don't have any objections. After all, it is a great blessing for our court to rescue the emperor. Then we will do it according to Master Xiao's wishes.
!”
After that, Mu Yunjing ordered to the Minister of Rites below: "I will send the Ministry of Rites to reply to Meng Guo's contract for this matter. Mr. Xiao will assist me on the side. After it is done, I will tell you."
That's it." After saying that, he sat on the high dragon chair and looked at the people below. The eunuch on one side understood the situation and shouted: "If you have something to do, leave the court."
Seeing that no one was talking anymore, Mu Yunjing went back to the palace. All the ministers exchanged greetings with each other, and were especially more polite to Xiao Qi. Several people walked up to Xiao Qi deliberately.
Said: "Master Xiao is really powerful and a blessing to the people!"
Xiao Qi smiled bitterly and casually responded. He knew in his heart that he was doing a terrible thing. If things went wrong, he would be the eternal sinner of the Mu Kingdom. No one would forgive him, but
For the sake of his daughter, he was so cruel that he took up this job. If he had done it before, he would have run far away. The most dangerous place is above the court. If he is not careful, he will be ruined forever.
The sinner may be killed without knowing why. When he thought of this, Xiao Qi could only raise his head and sigh to the sky, shaking his head helplessly. Although his daughter was so in love with the emperor,
This is all I can do with my old bones.
Mu Yunjing returned to the side hall and closed the door. He was overjoyed because his plan had been half successful. If Emperor Meng sent someone to kill Mu Lianlong on the way, what responsibility would he have?
It's all gone, and now that there's a scapegoat, all that's left is to wait for the results.
Suddenly the curtain behind moved, and Mu Yunjing felt something strange. Without looking back, he just asked softly: "How did things go?"
After hearing this, the person behind the curtain walked out gently, came to Mu Yunjing, and said in a cold tone: "The mission failed!"
"Failed? How could this happen? You must know that the assassin you brought was an assassin specially cultivated by my king." Mu Yunjing asked a little surprised. Lu Hongqing was a capable master in his heart, and there were no mistakes in every mission.
.It actually failed this time, which really surprised him.
Seeing Mu Yunjing's surprised look, Lu Hongqing raised his head and said slowly: "It happened suddenly. It could have been completed, but Concubine Xia suddenly appeared and blocked the servant's knife..."
Mu Yunjing was stunned. He walked over quickly and asked, "What happened next? Tell me!"
Lu Hongqing's face was in a daze, and he said quietly: "I... I just wanted to kill Meng Zhiqing at that time. I didn't expect that she would block the knife for others, and what I didn't expect was that she would be willing to block the knife for Meng Zhiqing. Me too..."
"
"I asked you what happened in the end, tell me quickly!" Mu Yunjing shouted still nervously.
"I finally sent someone to investigate secretly. Although I blocked the knife, the injury was not serious. He has recovered and is now on his way to Bangladesh with the Mongolian army." Lu Hongqing said in a low voice.
After hearing that there was nothing serious about Xia Ziying, Mu Yunjing breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, it's okay. You go and protect her now. If nothing happens, I'm afraid she will fight to the death."
If you risk your life to rescue Mu Lianlong, you may not be able to save your life by then."
After hearing this, Lu Hongqing just nodded, and when he bowed slightly, he staggered obviously. Although he tried his best to hide this movement, Mu Yunjing still noticed it, and he quickly asked: "Why?
Yes? Are you injured?"
"It's a small injury, it's not a big deal." Lu Hongqing concealed it with a bit of embarrassment. After saying that, he folded his arms and backed away gently. Mu Yunjing wanted to say something else, but it was hard to say a word. Lu Hongqing followed
His relationship is now completely beyond that of master and servant, but sometimes, he has to act like a master.
