Chapter 620: Secretly Raising an Army
How could Little Nuobao give up like this?
So the little guy used all his martial arts skills, clenching his fists and waving them at his father.
Then he rubbed his eyes until they turned red, and grabbed his father's sleeves pitifully, shaking him back and forth.
But Mu Yihan had already made up his mind, so he simply closed his eyes and didn't look at the jumping little fat girl, for fear that he would be soft-hearted for a moment.
Seeing that his father was "mighty and unyielding", Little Nuobao was also a little disappointed. With his chubby little face drooping, he got off the table in disappointment and ran back to the house angrily.
After she left, Mu Yihan felt helpless, "Ali, go back to the palace and go to the storehouse later. Pick out two big gold nuggets and send them to the fat girl. I hope it can coax her."
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Fengze again, his expression became serious, "You come to the study with me, I have something to tell you."
Jiang Fengze also vaguely sensed something, nodded vigorously, and followed immediately.
If the national teacher really just wanted to go for a walk among the people, it would be okay to bring his sister with him, so I'm afraid it's not that simple.
Sure enough, after entering the study, Jiang Fengze just closed the door, and saw Mu Yihan touching his arms, then took out a secret report and threw it on the table.
"This is" Jiang Fengze stepped forward and picked it up, and saw the secret seal of the spy printed on it.
Mu Yihan sat on the rosewood armchair and said in a deep voice, "I have planted several spies in the Southern Province in my early years. This is what they sent half a month ago. Take a look for yourself."
Jiang Fengze untied the rope and took out the letter inside. After reading a few lines, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"How can they be so bold! They actually recruited private troops behind the back of the court? And they already have nearly 100,000 troops!" He took a breath of cool air and couldn't help shouting.
Mu Yihan's eyes were as dark as night, "One hundred thousand, this is just what we have found out. I am afraid that in places we haven't explored, their power will be even stronger!"
The so-called "they" refers to the old nobles of the Southern Province.
Now, they have secretly raised an army, and the direction of the sword is, of course, the court!
Although Jiang Fengze knew that there had always been forces in Southern Province that were not in the same mind as the imperial court, he did not know much about how deep the water was.
After all, since he led the army, the enemies that were exposed were only Xiao Jinshan and Wala.
Mu Yihan saw his doubts, "You came to Beijing late, so it is inevitable that you are not clear about some things. Although those old nobles in Southern Province rarely cause trouble on the surface, the dogs that really bite people often do not bark loudly."
"They are just hiding too deep." Mu Yihan's tone sank, "But if one day they stick their heads out, it will be time to use a killing move!"
The forces in Southern Province are intertwined, and the most powerful among them is the Gu family, the head of the four major families.
Speaking of their rebellious intentions, we have to mention how Murong Huaidan, the founder of the Murong Dynasty, took the throne three hundred years ago.
"Back then, Murong Huaidan, as the royal son-in-law, was able to successfully usurp the throne thanks to the support of the Gu family and several other large families."
"But after his imperial power became stable, he began to be jealous of the power of several big families, so he deliberately ordered them to be responsible for the construction of the imperial mausoleum. Later, he executed all the male members of the Gu family and other families on the false charge of questionable Feng Shui of the imperial mausoleum."
Mu Yihan lowered his eyes and said slowly, "It is said that at least two hundred people were taken to Caishikou at that time. After the execution, the smell of blood could not be dissipated for three days."
Jiang Fengze was shocked, "Isn't this just killing the donkey after it has done its job? And the killing was too cruel!"
Mu Yihan closed his eyes, "When it comes to imperial power, who wouldn't be cruel?"
After that, the remaining bloodline of the Gu family did not dare to stay in the capital, so they moved to the southern province to live.
Murong Huaidan just thought that everything was settled.
Little did they know that the Gu family had never forgotten this hatred since the day they left Beijing.
Therefore, the Gu family had been in the Southern Province for many years, accumulating strength, hoping that one day they could overthrow the Murong royal family and step on their corpses to ascend the throne.
And more than ten years ago, marrying Gu Changying to Murong Laoer as the queen was also the final preparation for this.
Unfortunately, plans are not as fast as changes.
Before the Gu family could rebel, Murong Laoer had already died. They could only watch Mu Yihan take power, and of course they were unwilling to accept it.
Jiang Fengze became more and more frightened when he heard the last part.
So, as early as three hundred years ago, this family began to plot revenge and usurp the throne. This thought is too deep!
"Now, the Southern Province is the most prosperous place. The Gu family has long controlled the government there, as well as countless wealth, and they can lead troops into the capital at any time."
"So I want to lure the tiger away from the mountain, let them think that the capital is empty, and they can take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in. In fact, as long as they are lured out of the cave, I will raid their nest in the Southern Province and eliminate the trouble forever!" Mu Yihan rubbed his eyebrows, his eyes as calm as water.
Jiang Fengze suddenly realized.
No wonder the national teacher refused to bring his sister, it turned out that this trip was full of dangers, and it really is the love of parents in the world.
"Then what do you need me to do?" Jiang Fengze looked solemn, and his posture could not help but straighten up.
Mu Yihan pursed his lips and said in a cold voice, "I will go to the southern province to cut off their retreat, and you will stay in the capital to protect the capital for me."
"If they bring troops into the capital and really launch a rebellion, then everything will be handed over to you. I believe you can do it." He raised his head and stared at Fengze.
Jiang Fengze's pupils trembled slightly, and his fists clenched.
After a pause, he took a deep breath, knelt down and clasped his fists, saying, "Master Imperial Master, don't worry. As long as I am here, there will be no chaos in the capital!"
At this moment, there was a rumble in the distant sky, and dark clouds floated over.
Mu Yihan and Jiang Fengze looked out the window at the same time, both of them looked serious.
I think it won't be long before this huge capital city will completely change...
