Chapter 93 A secret conversation with the princess
After arranging the hotel decoration matters in detail, Muchuan also stretched himself.
Running to the palace frequently these past two days also made Muchuan a little tired.
Just when he was about to go out for a walk, Gao Kan ran over.
"Master, there is a foreign woman outside the house who wants to see you."
"Foreign woman?"
Muchuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he quickly thought of the Goguryeo woman he bumped into that day in the guesthouse.
Also, all the Goguryeo envoys were captured, so it was normal for someone to run by and plead for mercy.
Muchuan waved his hand and said, "Just drive him away."
"Here!"
Just kidding, the Tang Dynasty will go to war with Goguryeo soon. If I have private dealings with the Goguryeo dignitaries at this juncture, I am afraid that it will become an excuse for others to attack me.
"Master! Master!"
"what happened again?"
Muchuan rolled his eyes at Gao Kan angrily, this kid is still so reckless.
Gao Kan said angrily: "That foreign woman refuses to leave."
"If you don't want to leave, I'll take you out."
Muchuan said speechlessly, do you have to teach yourself such a small thing?
"But she put a sword to her neck and said that if you don't see her, she will die at the door of the house. We don't dare to touch her now."
Hearing this, Muchuan couldn't help but frowned.
To force her to death, this Goguryeo woman's methods are quite strong.
"Fine, then just bring her in."
Muchuan shook his head helplessly.
He couldn't really watch a woman die at the door of the house, could he?
Soon, people were brought in.
The woman was still veiled, and when she saw Muchuan, she knelt on the ground.
"Master Mu, please save Goguryeo!"
Muchuan took a sip of tea and looked at the woman lightly.
"Girl, no one taught you how to show your true colors when asking for help?"
Hearing this, Pu Shujun was stunned for a moment, and after a moment of hesitation, she took off her veil.
When he saw Pu Shujun's face clearly, Muchuan couldn't help but chuckle.
Sure enough, it was this Goguryeo princess.
"It turns out she's a princess. I'm being rude."
Muchuan smiled lightly and said, "Princess, please take a seat."
Pu Shujun shook her head, "Master Mu, please save Goguryeo, otherwise I will keep kneeling here."
"save?"
"When you Goguryeo wanted to assassinate His Majesty, did you ever think about the consequences of today?"
A coldness flashed in Muchuan's eyes, "Although our Tang Dynasty loves peace, anyone who offends our Tang Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are!"
As soon as these words came out, Park Shujun's face became even paler.
She had certainly heard about what happened in the palace and the news that many of the envoys had been arrested.
And because she escaped earlier, she avoided a difficulty.
As the princess of Goguryeo, she naturally did not want Goguryeo to go to war with the Tang Dynasty.
But with her current status, it was impossible to see the emperor, so she could only settle for the next best thing and place her hope on Muchuan.
She is not stupid, she knows very well that the key to this incident lies with Muchuan.
Only Muchuan can prevent this conflict between the two countries.
"Master Mu, you should know very well that although my brother is stupid, he definitely has no intention of harming the Tang royal family."
"So you reached out to me?"
Muchuan smiled and shook his head, "Then I'm really flattered."
"No, no, no, Master Mu, please don't misunderstand me. The idea of assassinating you is just the third brother's alone and has nothing to do with Goguryeo."
Pu Shujun gritted her teeth and seemed to have made up her mind.
"If the misunderstanding can be resolved, all the envoys from Goguryeo are willing to stay in the Tang Dynasty and wait for their fate. I just ask the Tang Dynasty not to send troops to Goguryeo."
Hearing this, Muchuan paused while drinking tea and couldn't help but take a closer look at Pu Shujun.
He was a ruthless character, even sacrificing members of the royal family for Goguryeo.
"Princess, it's useless for you to tell me this."
Muchuan smiled and said: "I am just a top scholar with no actual position. I can be said to be a humble person. I can't change your Majesty's holy will in the slightest."
"Master Mu, I know you have a solution! Please save Goguryeo, and all the people of Goguryeo will be grateful to you!"
Pu Shujun still refused to give up and begged bitterly.
To be honest, if he had such a cute little sister begging him before time travel, Muchuan would be soft-hearted and would agree to anything.
But now, Muchuan will never do anything detrimental to his own interests.
Squinting his eyes slightly, Muchuan began to make inexplicable calculations in his mind.
Nowadays, there is a shortage of candidates who understand the domestic affairs of Goguryeo, and the Goguryeo princess in front of me seems to be a very good choice.
Of course, if the plan was explained directly, Pu Shujun would definitely not agree to it, and would even be very likely to interfere with it, which would cause the Tang army to suffer disaster.
After thinking for a moment, Muchuan couldn't help but have an idea.
Muchuan sighed, "Princess, Mu has read scriptures since he was a child, and he doesn't want the people in the world to suffer. But if you ask me to persuade His Majesty now, you will undoubtedly ask me to die."
Hearing this, the light in Pu Shujun's eyes dimmed even more.
Why doesn't she understand this?
However, she can only grasp Muchuan's life-saving straw now, no matter how thin the straw is.
"Nothing."
Seeing that Muchuan hadn't finished speaking, Pu Shujun's eyes lit up again.
"Although there is no way to directly persuade His Majesty, things can still turn around."
"Please give me some advice, Master Mu!"
Muchuan smiled and said, "Princess, you'd better sit down and talk, otherwise I won't say anything."
"Thank you, Master Mu."
Pu Shujun stopped being pretentious. Since Muchuan was willing to help, there was no need for her to kneel down.
After Pu Shujun sat down, Muchuan took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.
"This, this won't work."
Halfway through, Pu Shujun couldn't help but shake her head.
Muchuan didn't explain too much and continued talking on his own.
After hearing the end, Pu Shujun fell into silence, lowering her head and not knowing what she was thinking.
"This is the solution. If the princess refuses to agree, then Mu will have no other choice."
"Princess, there is no need to make a decision in a hurry. I will give you three days, and you will live in my house during these three days. If you want to think clearly, just come to me directly."
After saying that, Muchuan stood up and left directly.
He knew very well that if he pushed too hard, Pu Shujun would become suspicious. Instead, he would make it easier for her to believe him if he took his time.
Muchuan left for a long time, and Pu Shujun still sat there, staring at her toes, and holding the corners of her clothes tightly with her hands.
Muchuan's method is indeed effective, but if he really does that, wouldn't Goguryeo completely become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty?
Muchuan's words kept echoing in her mind, and Pu Shujun had never been as tormented as she was today.
If it agrees, Goguryeo will completely lose its autonomy; if not, Goguryeo will be devastated by war again.
