"Zu Ti died of illness." Sima Shao's voice deepened.
As soon as these words came out, He Mucheng immediately fell into thoughts.
According to the book, Zu Ti's Northern Expedition brought the entire Yuzhou into the territory of the Jin Dynasty. However, His Majesty was afraid of Zu Ti's appeal and sent the ignorant Dai Yuan to contain his Northern Expedition. Zu Ti was heartbroken and finally died of sorrow and anger.
But now facing Sima Shao, He Mucheng couldn't criticize him for not knowing how to employ people, right?
She was silent, then heard Ji Yunyuan speak with regret:
"Shi Hu is warlike. When he was in Zhao State, he had always coveted the land of Yuzhou. With his ancestor Ti here, he couldn't go south, so he decided to go to Youzhou."
Sima Shao sighed softly, "General Zu Ti attaches great importance to Hulao City. It is bordered by the Yellow River to the north and Chenggao to the west. Without a solid barrier, it would be difficult to resist the invasion of Shihu. But before the barrier was built, he had already
Died of illness."
"His Royal Highness, do you want General Ji to supervise the work on behalf of General Zu Ti?" He Mucheng understood Sima Shao's intention and asked directly.
Sima Shao nodded, "Ayan once said that my father will die of illness soon. If I lead troops to Hulao City, Jiankang will be leaderless. If Wang Dun raises troops again, Jiankang will probably fall again. Therefore, I have to rely on Ji's army to protect him."
Territory of Yuzhou."
After saying that, he stood up and bowed deeply to Ji Yunyuan.
Ji Yunyuan hurriedly stood up to avoid this gift, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, leave it to me."
After receiving his agreement, Sima Shao raised his lips and said, "If General Ji can win the hearts of the people of Yuzhou this time, after I defeat the traitor Wang Dun, I will bring Yuzhou and Yanzhou under the jurisdiction of General Ji."
scope."
He Mucheng sighed in his heart, what a great way to control his subordinates!
Say the request first, then the benefits, with a sincere tone and a firm attitude. This method is simply the most suitable for a person of Ji Yunyuan's temperament.
No wonder the book says that Sima Shao was one of the strongest emperors in the Jin Dynasty. He really knew how to employ people!
Seeing the two of them sitting down, He Mucheng said worriedly, "I remember that General Dai Yuan is the military commander of the six states and the governor of Sizhou. If he has other ideas, I am afraid that General Ji will not be able to deal with it head-on."
After finishing speaking, He Mucheng snorted coldly in his heart. Zu Ti was mad at him. According to Ji Yunyuan's temper, he would definitely be mad at him too. He had to think of a way to deal with it in advance.
Sima Shao smiled helplessly and took out a jade pendant from his arms, "Actually, Dai Yuan's appointment was made by my father. He has never been very concerned about the Northern Expedition. I disagree with him on this point. Let's ignore it for now.
If Dai Yuan dares to obstruct you, use this jade pendant to suppress him and don't listen to his nonsense."
He Mucheng took the jade pendant preciously, raised his little face and smiled at Ji Yunyuan.
Ji Yunyuan pursed his thin lips, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Sima Shao took in everything. After a while, he raised his lips and said, "This time you two will set off together with the newly appointed governor of Yanzhou. When passing through Lucheng, you can stay for a day or two to take a look at Nanzhi and Luzhou."
Which one is more serious, the king of the city?"
As soon as these words came out, He Mucheng immediately asked the doubts in Cai Cai's mind, "Why does Your Highness think that King Lucheng will be defeated?"
Sima Shao took a deep breath and said, "When General Zu Ti was at war with the State of Zhao, he was short of food and grass for a period of time. However, King Lucheng closed the city gate tightly. Finally, the begging army took action, and this was the solution.
It is an urgent matter, so Lucheng is in trouble, and the surrounding areas are standing by and watching. It is only a matter of time that the king of Lucheng will lose power, but there is just a lack of opportunity."
"Oh~" He Mucheng suddenly realized, "Let Nan Zhi be a treacherous villain and kill the King of Lucheng first. General Ji will then go to attack the traitor who poisoned the prince. He will be famous!"
"Ayan is smart." Sima Shao smiled slightly.
"His Royal Highness is wise!"
This heartfelt compliment was very appreciated by Sima Shao.
At the same time, the carriage paused, Sima Shao stood up and said with a chuckle, "On the day I came to Jiankang, I buried a pot of fine wine under the locust tree in the courtyard, and now I finally found someone with whom I can drink it together."
He looked at Ji Yunyuan, then at He Musheng, and smiled, "Don't worry about your health. When A Yan and General Ji return, I will personally open the seal. By then, I will not return unless I am drunk."
After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and stepped out of the carriage with the help of his attendants.
The carriage drove away and headed slowly towards Nanfu.
He Mucheng smiled brightly at Ji Yunyuan, "I thought we would have to hang out for a while, but I didn't expect that we would have to leave so soon."
Ji Yunyuan looked at her quietly, with confusion in his eyes, "Didn't Ayan always want to return to Jiankang? Now that you have found your father and brother, and have a stable place to live, why did you know that you wanted to leave with me?"
, so happy?”
He Mucheng thought to himself, do you think I don't want to live a stable life? Isn't there a main mission to complete?
But she couldn't say it. She just tilted her head and thought for a while, then explained, "His Majesty is about to pass away, and Jiankang will be in turmoil again. The Ji family army is gone. I don't feel safe, so I naturally want to stay with you."
Ji Yunyuan pursed his lips and smiled, "Ayan can't bear to worry about me, and at the same time he's looking for many reasons for himself. Why don't you openly admit that you like me? Why do you work so hard to hide it..."
"stop!"
"Stop?" Ji Yunyuan naturally accepted what she was about to say.
"It's good that you know." The little girl turned around unnaturally and looked out through the swaying curtain of the car. Unknowingly, her heartbeat was beating like a drum.
In a trance, a familiar breath echoed in her breath. She turned around suddenly and saw that Ji Yunyuan had sat beside her at some point.
Just as He Musheng was about to say something out of habit to tell him to get away, he saw that the iron-blooded general who was still energetic suddenly looked tired. He slowly tilted his head, and finally put all the weight on the top of his head on her bun.
.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Yunyuan had closed his eyes and took a shallow breath.
This guy... fell asleep leaning on her head?
"Ji Yunyuan, don't pretend to be asleep, I won't believe you." He Mucheng didn't dare to move, he just stiffened his neck, rolled his eyes, and squinted at the instigator beside him.
The other party turned a deaf ear to this.
Feeling that the weight on his head was getting heavier and heavier, He Mucheng had no choice but to tilt his body to use his strength to drag down the tall people around him.
"You're dead, Ji Yunyuan, if you want to go to sleep on the couch, don't torture me!" She gritted her teeth and said angrily.
However, the other party still went his own way.
The catkins covered his handsome face, and He Mucheng wanted to push him aside, but the man didn't move at all.
The clear breath touched her palms, making her heart soften, so she sighed and said lightly, "Ji Yunyuan, I owed you something in my previous life..."
Ji Yunyuan raised his lips, thinking of teasing the little girl, but the unique fragrance on her body seemed to have a miraculous effect on concentration. He just stayed next to her, and finally fell asleep inexplicably...
When I woke up, the carriage had stopped at the gate of Nanfu.
He was awakened by the clamor outside the carriage. When he opened his eyes, the little girl beside him already had a look of despair on his face...
"What happened?" Ji Yunyuan asked softly in a hoarse voice.
He Mucheng stared at the iron-blooded general with a gloomy face, thinking how he could use her as a pillow with peace of mind, not even a word of apology after waking up, and still have an innocent face?
Thinking this way, Ji Yunyuan seemed even more innocent. He blinked and complained, "Ayan, why are you angry again?"
He did it on purpose!
He Mucheng ignored it, snorted coldly, opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.
At the door not far away, his sister-in-law Nan Zhao was looking down at the servant who was kneeling at the door of the mansion begging for mercy.
Those people looked panicked, "The girl was wronged! It's so unfair..."
"Unjustly accused?" Nan Zhao's face turned red with anger, "If you hadn't drugged the bird's nest you sent me, how could I have fallen asleep so far and missed the invitation to talk?"
Huh? So Nan Zhao also received the invitation?
No, drugging?
He Mucheng took a closer look and saw that these servants were not from Nanyu Courtyard?
At the same time, Nan Yu quietly walked out of the crowd. She still looked like she had disguised herself in the morning, but rather than saying that she was disguised, it was better to say that she had just changed into men's clothing.
He Musheng looked her up and down, and when he saw that she didn't act like she was groveling in front of Nan Zhao, he knew that she already knew about Nan Zhi's appointment.
Seeing her slightly raising her chin and walking forward, He Mucheng immediately became interested.
