"Your Majesty, I said that I would like to go to Longshang with General Ji, and I hope that your Majesty will make it happen."
"reason!"
Burying his head even lower, Pang Juan said to Li Mu with his forehead almost touching the ground: "Although Your Majesty does not care about my faults, treats and trusts me as usual, your Majesty should know that I can no longer do it."
…”
Having said this, Pang Juan slowly raised his head and begged Li Mu: "Your Majesty, I feel ashamed of you. Please agree to let me follow General Ji to the north."
There was silence in Shenxin Palace, and Li Mu could understand Pang Juan's thoughts.
It seems that he feels that he has no face to face Li Mu anymore.
But seeing that Li Mu didn't come back, Pang Juan continued: "Firstly, I am here to guard Longshang for Your Majesty, and secondly, I am going to lure the two remnants of the Anaconda Cult to show up. These two remnants of the Anaconda Cult hold a
The secret of His Majesty’s identity is that if the two of them learn of the death of the Master, they will definitely announce His Majesty’s identity to the world. So..."
"So you want to put yourself at risk to see if these two people will come and kill you?"
"Your Majesty is aware that this is probably the only way to lure out these two remnants of the Anaconda Cult."
But after hearing what Pang Juan said, Zhen Mi also interjected: "What if those two remnants don't come to assassinate you, but choose to announce His Majesty's identity to the world first? Will the world believe it if they announce it to the world?"
"Go back to the queen!" Looking up at Zhen Mi, Pang Juan said to her word by word: "Believe it or not, it doesn't really matter. What matters is the generals who are guarding the outside, the prefects who support their troops and respect themselves, and the nobles who are entrenched in the same place.
, the clan and others will use this as an excuse to get rid of Daqi’s control.”
"Are you saying that once those two people reveal this secret, those generals, prefects, nobles, and clans will immediately become kings and emperors?"
"I don't dare to deceive the queen. Qi Zhishang has an army and respects himself. He is as close as the Zhou family in Xiangbei and as far away as the Liu family in Yuzhou. Once they learn about your majesty's identity, they will definitely act like this."
Pang Juan said it euphemistically, and Zhen Mi was shocked to hear it.
In fact, Li Mu has thought about this problem for a long time, but he has not thought of a way to deal with this situation so far.
There was also the Li Shi in Northern Hebei. Li Mu still couldn't figure out what the intention and purpose of the Li Shi in Northern Hebei was to let him replace the emperor?
Could it be that the Northern Hebei Li family never thought that his identity as a false emperor would eventually be revealed? The day he was exposed?
After being exposed, will the world definitely be in chaos because of him?
He also asked Zhen Mi this question, but Zhen Mi couldn't answer him.
Because the task Li Tang gave her when he entered the palace was just to appease him, thereby holding back Wang Mang.
What should I say now that Wang Mang is dead?
After all, it was not Li Mu who killed Wang Mang, but he fell into Jia Xu's poisonous scheme and dug his own grave and died.
But seeing Li Mu deep in thought, Zhen Mi, Ji Ming and Pang Juan did not dare to disturb him no matter how anxious they were.
A lot of thinking, a lot of thinking!
While thinking about it, Li Mu suddenly looked at Pang Juan and said, "Go get some cotton and a pen."
"No!" But after listening to Li Mu's unreasonable order, Pang Juan hurriedly got up from the ground.
He spread the cotton fabric on the ground, and under the confusion of Zhen Mi and the others, Li Mu took a pen and began to dance on the cotton fabric.
The three of them thought Li Mu was going to paint, but they were stunned when they saw it.
His Majesty is not painting, he is clearly painting a country that does not look like a country on this cotton.
Just when Zhen Mi and the others were shocked by Li Mu's ingenious and superb painting skills, Li Mu pointed at the rooster-like picture of mountains and rivers and said: "Does any of you know where Yecheng is in this picture?" Location?"
"That position?" Staring closely at the picture of the rooster, Zhen Mi and the other two people began to stare at each other.
This picture is indeed lifelike and exquisite, but it is not their Daqi territory.
After waiting for a while, but seeing that the three of them did not point out, Li Mu also slapped his forehead and said: "Hey, I forgot, who of you two can draw a map of Daqi's power distribution."
"I can!" Although he didn't know what Li Mu meant, Pang Juan still recommended himself.
"Okay, here you go! The more detailed the drawing, the better."
When Pang Juan took over the pen and started drawing seriously, Li Mu also raised his eyes and looked at Ji Ming and said: "General Ji, please go and call Wang Jian and the others quickly.
"
But following Li Mu's orders, Ji Ming and Zhen Mi became even more confused.
Although he was doubtful, Ji Ming went anyway.
Time passed like water. After Pang Juan finished drawing the distribution map of Daqi power, the four brothers Wang Jian, Deng Ai, and Ma Su also arrived for a while.
After Pang Juan put down his ink pen and respectfully made way for Li Mu, the first thing Li Mu said to the people in this hall was that there was no need to go to Longshang.
"Why?" But after hearing what Li Mu said, Ji Ming also asked him excitedly.
Without replying to Ji Ming's question, Li Mu pointed to Longshang in the power distribution map and said: "If you don't do something that can be done, you are called a coward! If you do something that cannot be done, you are called a fool. In Longshang, Zhou Zha stationed troops To put it bluntly, this place in Longshang has been regarded by Zhou Zha as his fiefdom. We want to lead his army in his fiefdom. No matter which one of you goes, I'm afraid it's all wishful thinking. Let's not talk about this wishful thinking. It may even cost you your lives in vain, so I say there is no need to go to Longshang."
After saying this to everyone in Zhen Mi, Li Mu took an ink pen and put a big cross on the two characters Long Shang.
Wang Jian and others knew clearly whether what Li Mu said had any truth or basis.
Before Zhen Mi and others could ask questions, Li Mu turned his attention to Ye City again. Looking at Ye City, he saw Li Mu picked up the ink pen and circled the word "Yecheng".
It's not a cross, it's a circle. What does this mean, Your Majesty?
Just when Wang Jian was about to ask Li Mu, Li Mu looked away from the power distribution map and then looked at everyone.
Looking at Deng Ai and everyone, Li Mu said to them in a solemn tone: "You all know my identity, and you are still willing to follow me even though you know my identity. To be honest, this is not pretentious, but I really
Very touched.”
After saying this to everyone in Deng Ai, Li Mu paused and said: "It is precisely because I am moved that I have made a decision in my heart, whether it is for me or for you. Come around now."
But after hearing what Li Mu said, everyone in Zhen Mi did not dare to neglect and hurriedly gathered around Li Mu.
Tonight, the moon is bright, tonight, Xinglang!
When Li Mu finished telling Zhen Mi the decision he had made in his heart, everyone was so surprised that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear. All that was left was a dull look on his face.
At the end of the night, when the first ray of white fish belly appeared in the east, Shang Yang, Xiao He and Chao Cuo had already dressed themselves up and were ready to go.
At this moment, these three people are in high spirits, their faces are radiant, and they have never looked forward to today's morning court as much as they do today.
Just when the three of them were about to go out together, there was a sudden knock on the courtyard door.
It was not yet fully dawn, and few of his colleagues came to visit Xiao He's house. I wonder who came to visit so early in the morning?
The three of them looked at each other, and then Xiao He opened the door.
The door opened, and there were three people standing in the courtyard!
When Xiao He, Chao Cuo, and Shang Yang saw clearly the faces of the three people standing in the courtyard, the three of them were also suddenly startled. In panic, they all knelt down and said: "The humble ministers Xiao He, Shang Yang, and Chao Cuo bow to your majesty.
"
"Everyone get up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu, Pang Juan and Ma Su stepped in.
Although Li Mu asked Xiao He and the three of them to get up, how could they dare to get up if they didn't know Li Mu's intention?
Li Mudan saw that these three people were still kneeling down, so he walked up to them.
As soon as he walked in front of the three of them, Li Mu smelled a faint smell of alcohol from their bodies.
So he said, "Have you been drinking?"
"Your Majesty, drink...drink!" Xiao He replied without daring to raise his head.
"Drinking all night?"
"I dare not deceive Your Majesty, the three of you..."
But hearing the three men's answers being so submissive, Li Mu interrupted them angrily and said, "You're not drunk, are you sober?"
"No... Your Majesty, how dare I be greedy..."
"Okay, as long as your mind is calm, come with me and find a quiet place. I have something to say to the three of you."
Because of their nervousness, Xiao He and the others did not notice Li Muyu's address.
Now that they heard that Li Mu had something to say to the three of them, Chao Cuo and the other two hurriedly got up.
Xiao He's mansion was not big, with only one main courtyard and one inner courtyard.
The three of them drank in the pavilion in the inner courtyard last night.
