This confidant guard was personally arranged by Mu Cunyi and was specially responsible for receiving Dongfang Changkong. He was also told that once Dongfang Changkong came, there was no need to report it.
At that time, it was naturally to deepen the connection with the Dongfang family, so as not to waste time.
Who knew that the Dongfang Family was so eager to stab him in the back, and now it was too late for Mu Cunyi to refuse to see him.
Mu Cunyi turned his murderous eyes away from the trusted guards. With Mu Zichen's support, Mu Cunyi stared coldly at Dongfang Changkong: "Second Elder, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Dongfang Changkong's smile did not change, and he was obviously well prepared: "I am here to explain today. As the saying goes, it is better to dissolve enemies than to make knots. Zhuo Mufeng will defend Jinghua Three Roads to the death. If we attack them forcefully, we can certainly win.
, but it greatly increased internal friction, which would only greatly damage the strength of the entire Eastern Zhou Dynasty and be detrimental to the country."
After a pause, he continued: "Fortunately, my eldest brother went to Jinghua City alone to negotiate with Zhuo Mufeng. The two parties have now reached an agreement and are willing to turn their hostility into friendship and form an alliance. I would like to congratulate the prince for successfully conquering the enemy."
We have a rebel leader and the restoration of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is just around the corner."
After hearing what the other party said, Mu Cunyi laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes, only resentment that was as deep as a knife. His chest was rising and falling, and there were signs of vomiting blood. He said word by word: "Zhuo Mufeng is ambitious and has ulterior motives.
You, an Eastern family, seek skin from tigers, aren't you afraid of being eaten by tigers in the future?"
Dongfang Changkong narrowed his eyes: "Thank you, Eighth Prince, for reminding me, but the Great Elder has his own concerns about this matter, so there is no need for outsiders to worry about it."
At this time, Mu Cunyi also calmed down a little. The old thief Dongfang suddenly formed an alliance with Zhuo Mufeng, undoubtedly to deal with him, but he was not so urgent before, which proves that something must have happened in the middle.
With Mu Cunyi's mind, he went through everything and immediately knew where the problem lies, Dark Night Pavilion! The old thief from the East must have deduced the existence of Dark Night Pavilion from the information he gave, and misunderstood him and Dark Night.
The government has reached cooperation.
Thinking of this, Mu Cunyi suppressed the sweetness in her throat and said anxiously: "Second Elder, you have misunderstood me. I am sincere to the Dongfang Family and have absolutely no intention of harming me. Please inform me.
Elder, I want to see him in person and explain everything!"
Dongfang Changkong looked at him up and down, shook his head and said: "In my opinion, Your Majesty is weak and weak, so it would be better to pay more attention to your health and take good care of yourself. Today I came here to receive a letter from the First Elder, hoping that Your Majesty will immediately order the frontline troops
If the horses retreat, we in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty will not attack our own people."
One of my own? Mu Cunyi was so angry that his liver and gallbladder nearly burst, his eyes were bloodshot, and he opened his mouth and roared: "For this battle, I have worked hard to allocate grain and grass from all over the country, and even increased taxes and scraped the ground three feet away. How many people in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty have died because of this?"
To die? In order to wipe out the traitors who destroyed the country, I have endured a lot of infamy and great pressure. Seeing that success is imminent, you ask me to withdraw my troops? Don't even think about it!"
Originally, Dongfang Changkong felt a little pity when he saw Mu Cunyi in such miserable condition, but when he heard this, his face suddenly sank.
As the spokesperson of the Dongfang Family, Dongfang Changkong doesn't care about serving the country or the people, or starving for thousands of miles, he only cares about the interests of the Dongfang Family.
To put it bluntly, the more Mu Cunyi made people angry and betrayed their relatives, the more he was happy to see it happen. Hearing this, he said coldly: "Eighth Prince, I have no reason to kill each other in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. In short, our Dongfang family has stopped
If the imperial court and the five military governors still insist on going their own way in attacking Jinghua Three Roads, then they are standing on the opposite side of our Dongfang family. Our Dongfang family is not afraid of a battle, but the prince must think clearly about the consequences."
Mu Cunyi's pupils shrank violently. If this was true, then the situation he had finally created would immediately fall apart.
Not to mention that the alliance between the Dongfang Family and the Jinghua Three Paths has already caused a big trouble. Once it reaches that point, the other five Jiedu envoys will tend to follow the imperial court because of their own interests. They may not have second thoughts by then. If Fang Zhaonan in the north
If you add insult to injury again, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty will be in chaos in an instant!
Mu Cunyi's body shook a few times, and his face turned red and white.
Just when Dongfang Changkong secretly sneered, he suddenly felt a figure flashing in front of him. A hand grabbed his neck and lifted him up. The hand gradually tightened, making Dongfang Changkong almost suffocated. However, his whole body was so weak that he couldn't even struggle.
cannot.
"Rebellious ministers and traitors, you dare to offend me and threaten our Mu Dynasty, who gave you the courage?" But Mu Zichen was angry from the bottom of his heart and restrained Dongfang Changkong, who was at the peak of the Star Bridge Realm, with one move.
Dongfang Changkong couldn't breathe, his legs were kicking in the air, and he was about to be strangled to death. Mu Cunyi's weak voice came from behind: "Uncle Emperor, let him go."
Mu Zichen didn't want to pay attention until he heard Mu Cunyi's next words: "Uncle, this is my nephew's order!"
Thinking that his nephew always had ideas, Mu Zichen finally held back his murderous intent and threw Dongfang Changkong to the ground, who coughed violently.
Mu Cunyi looked at Dongfang Changkong, who was standing up from the ground with a purple complexion. His expression had returned to calmness, but his face was pale: "Second Elder, I want to see the First Elder."
Dongfang Changkong's aura calmed down a lot, and while rubbing his neck, he replied: "The Great Elder specifically told me that if the prince wants to see him, there will be a chance in the future, so there is no need to rush now."
As soon as these words came out, they undoubtedly showed Dongfang's determination to win the marriage, but they were also a sign of contempt for Mu Cunyi. The majestic prince did not even give him a chance to meet him.
Mu Cunyi laughed miserably and explained: "I have never cooperated with Dark Night Pavilion, or even had contact with him. Fang Zhaonan is in cahoots with Bei Qi. I am not that stupid, how dare I lead a wolf into my house?"
Dongfang Changkong's eyes flashed: "I will tell the great elder."
But he knew in his heart that no matter whether Mu Cunyi's words were true or false, it was no longer important at this point. What was important was that the marriage was done, and then the next plan would be launched. The eldest brother's goal has always been this.
A prince who vomits blood, who taught him that he is too weak!
Dongfang Changkong didn't dare to look at Mu Zichen, so he forced himself to emphasize: "I hope the prince will not waste time and give the frontline a retreat order immediately, otherwise there will be a misunderstanding and it will be bad for everyone. In fact, everyone has taken advantage this time
, at least the territory captured does not have to be returned to Zhuo Mufeng."
After saying that, he cupped his hands and turned around immediately to leave. By the time he left the study, a layer of cold sweat had formed on his back, and he secretly said something lucky.
In the study room, the atmosphere was solemn and depressing.
As the confidant guard who led the way retreated tremblingly, Mu Zichen looked at Mu Cunyi and asked in a deep voice: "Why did you stop me from taking action just now? That kind of person should be killed!"
Mu Cunyi sat back on the stool, leaned against the soft cushions on the back of the chair, and raised her head: "Although Dongfang Changkong is hateful, he has a different identity after all. If he is killed, it will be detrimental to the situation."
Mu Zichen laughed angrily: "Situation situation, do you know why I don't like people like you? You think too much about everything and have too many constraints, and you will be suffocated to death sooner or later. Your archenemy Zhuo Mufeng, but a little bit
Unlike you, he even killed the Northern Qi Emperor at his command, so he was much more straightforward and neat than you!"
These words made Mu Cunyi startled, and she couldn't help but think, if it were Zhuo Mufeng today, Dongfang Changkong wouldn't even dare to say sarcastic words, right? Facing himself, he has no scruples.
He suddenly felt the urge to chase Dongfang Changkong, but after thinking about it, he shook his head, Zhuo Mufeng was just a reckless man after all, how could he be like him?
Closing her eyes, Mu Cunyi began to give orders to Minghua who was waiting on the side: "Assemble the Jinyu Guards immediately and blockade the Dongfang Family's major properties in the imperial city. All relevant personnel should be arrested and imprisoned, and they will be executed after three days. Anyone who asks for mercy will be punished."
Drive him back, if he dares to do it a second time, he will be punished with the same crime!"
Minghua and Mu Zichen looked at each other. Didn't they just hold back for the sake of the situation? Then they turned around and attacked the Dongfang Family's property?
Mu Cunyi didn't bother to explain that in a game involving this level, whether to do it or not is only secondary, the important thing is the scale. If you suffer a big loss this time and don't even react at all, you will be despised by Dongfang Changsheng.
"Second, impeach the court officials of the Dongfang family, who are below the fifth rank. No matter what method you use and what charges you levy, you are limited to imprisoning all of them within half a month. Third, investigate the emperor
All Jianghu forces inside and outside the city, if they are involved with the Dongfang Family, will be wiped out without leaving any survivors..."
As Mu Cunyi issued orders one after another, Minghua's head was covered in cold sweat and his feet were cold.
The prince wants to take advantage of this incident to overthrow most of the Dongfang family's arrangements in the imperial city. From the officialdom to the market, to the Jianghu, the number of people involved, the breadth of levels, and the scope are large enough to defeat the emperor in the imperial city.
Stir up a bloody storm!
It's really about to be completed. Even if the Dongfang Family still has the power to stay at the top of the imperial city, but you don't even have the soldiers and generals below, how can you do anything? Roll up your arms and go into battle yourself?
This move will definitely severely damage the Dongfang Family's layout in the imperial city, allowing the prince to free himself from the shackles and show off his skills. However, it will also trigger an extremely fierce backlash from the Dongfang Family. In his opinion, it would be better to kill Dongfang Chang.
No time to vent your anger.
To be honest, Minghua admired the prince's reaction and methods very much, but he still felt that doing so was too risky and too radical.
Maybe it was because Minghua was responsible for this matter, Mu Cunyi explained in particular: "Don't worry, this is the battle between this king and Dongfang Changsheng. As long as it does not exceed the bottom line and does not affect the overall situation of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, everyone will just rely on their abilities. This time
It was Dongfang Changsheng who broke the rules first, he will make concessions, and I don’t want to wipe him out all at once.”
Minghua suddenly realized. The prince's words were scary, but when the order was actually implemented, I'm afraid it would not be so straightforward. In the end, he would have to negotiate with the Dongfang Family to gain the maximum benefit.
Then I saw the prince with a gloomy face, sitting motionless on the chair. Finally, he clenched his jaw. He took a piece of clean rice paper and wrote a few words with a brush. He picked up the seal and stamped it with a loud voice.
It's like smashing the seal into pieces.
Minghua hurriedly took the rice paper thrown at him, and after just one glance, he knew it was an order from the prince to the front line. He lowered his head in a hurry, and after getting the prince's approval, he hurried away.
When they arrived at the door of the room, Mu Cunyi's indifferent voice came from behind: "The man who helped Dongfang Changkong lead the way, I don't want to see him again."
