Everyone present was shocked.
Mu Zhao said: "When the news of my father's death reached the capital, the court was in an uproar for a long time.
I vaguely remember that an official suggested that I stay in Beijing to marry a princess. ”
Is it easy to be a royal consort in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?
According to the laws of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, in order to prevent external relatives from interfering in politics and to disperse the imperial power, the son-in-law of the emperor was not allowed to serve as an official in the court.
It was too ugly to immediately strip Mu Zhao of his right to inherit his father's business as soon as General Mu passed away.
Besides, Mu Zhao is young and his foundation is not stable.
The emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty declared in the court that he would send Mu Zhao back to Guyan County when he came of age to inherit his father's business.
Mu Zhao: "After the ceremony, I started packing my bags."
"I look forward to being reunited with my sister with great joy.
...
...
Unexpectedly, what I saw was a scorched earth. ”
Mu Zhao's voice was hoarse, and he clenched his fists: "Sister, why?"
"My Mu family is loyal and dedicated to serving the court, and has never had any other thoughts."
"My father has spent his entire life guarding the border. Isn't that enough?"
Mu Xi shook his head: "Not enough."
"He doesn't trust the Mu family and has always been wary of them."
Mu Zhao couldn't believe it: "But he also has Mu family blood in him?"
Mu Xi said: "He witnessed how the Mu family supported him to become the emperor, all the means and twists and turns.
Just be more cautious. ”
Mu Xi's words made everyone fall into deep thought.
The biological mother of the current Eastern Zhou emperor was a concubine's daughter from the side branch of the Mu family.
Because of this, the first emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had seven sons, and with the help of the Mu family, he was able to turn a disadvantage into an advantage and seize the throne in one fell swoop.
Mu Xi's indifferent eyes turned moist:
"The city was destroyed, the soldiers were killed, and the family members disappeared."
"A young general was trapped in a city."
"A Zhao, this is all his trick!"
Shen Lan's good self-restraint was completely forgotten at this moment: "Is this something a human would do? It's worse than pigs and dogs!"
Lu Heng also said: "This plan is too vicious."
Mu Zhao's face turned green with hatred and he said, "I will definitely seek justice for my sister, the Mu family army, and the people who died in vain!"
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
After a long while, Mu Zhao asked in confusion: "But why doesn't my sister want to recognize me?"
Mu Xi sniffed and said, “I originally thought that once the emperor achieved his goal, he would let you go.
At least it can save your life. ”
"If I appear in front of you, I'm afraid you will lead the remaining soldiers to do something horrible after learning the truth."
Mu Zhao shook his head: "I would rather make a mistake than be kept in the dark for the rest of my life."
Mu Zhao raised his head and looked at Mu Xi: "Sister, you are rebelling."
Mu Xi's pupils suddenly shrank and he stood there in a daze. He never expected that these words would come from Mu Zhao's mouth.
Everyone present looked at each other in surprise. Not only did they not expect Mu Zhao to have the intention of rebelling, but they also did not expect that he would say such words in the Dajing Palace.
Mu Zhao let go of Mu Xi's shoulders, looked at Xiao Jingzhou and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the original agreement?"
Xiao Jingzhou naturally remembered that Mu Zhao had promised him that he would agree to one condition after finding Mu Xi.
The prerequisite is not to harm the people of Dong Zhou and not to go against his conscience.
The Emperor of Eastern Zhou did so many bad things that now it is no longer Mu Zhao's fault.
Xiao Jingzhou nodded.
Mu Zhao said seriously: "Da Jing has a strong military force and is protected by the gods. Sooner or later, they will defeat Dong Zhou.
Why not let me play as the left forward and open the formation for Dajing. ”
Xiao Jingzhou raised his eyebrows slightly: "What are your conditions?"
Mu Zhao said: "Treat the people of Dongzhou well and properly place the soldiers of Dongzhou."
"When the war is over, I will disband the Mu family army, take my sister with me, hide my identity, and live my own life."
The two looked at each other.
After a long while, Xiao Jingzhou said in a deep voice: "Okay, I promise you."
Xiao Jingzhou appointed Lu Heng as the commander-in-chief and Mu Zhao as the left vanguard, and the two led 100,000 troops to Eastern Zhou.
The deal was done.
Mu Zhao said: "Swords have no eyes on the battlefield, I hope Your Majesty can take care of my sister."
Xiao Jingzhou said: "I will find a house in the capital and let your people protect Mu Xi in the courtyard."
Mu Zhao was stunned. He originally wanted Mu Xi to stay in the palace.
After all, there is no place safer than the Dajing Palace nowadays.
However, he seemed to realize that Xiao Jingzhou did not think so.
Mu Zhao smiled and said, "Okay."
Everyone dispersed, but Shen Lan remained in the hall.
Seeing that he was hesitant, Xiao Jingzhou frowned slightly.
He said coldly: "If you have something to say, please tell me."
This was the first time that Xiao Jingzhou felt that Chen Lan was tactless.
Didn’t you see that he still had a bunch of memorials to read?
Shen Lan hesitated and asked Lu Chen to leave.
Xiao Jingzhou responded to his request and said calmly: "You can tell me now."
Shen Lan asked, "Your Majesty, if you look at someone else's body, do you have to take responsibility?"
Xiao Jingzhou: "..."
Seeing his gloomy face, Shen Lan felt that the air pressure in the study room dropped a bit, and she didn't dare to breathe.
Xiao Jingzhou's voice became even colder: "If you dare to bully a woman, I will never forgive you."
Hearing this, Shen Lan realized that he had misunderstood.
Just as he was about to explain, he heard Xiao Jingzhou sternly say, "Get out."
There was no other way, Shen Lan could only leave in disgrace.
He curled his lips, walked out of the hall and muttered, "It was obviously me who was exposed. Who is bullying whom?"
"I'll just die unjustly."
Chen Lan originally wanted to ask Xiao Jingzhou for advice, but unexpectedly, not only did she not find a solution, she was also scolded.
He held his anger and returned to the military camp to train his troops.
The new recruits in the army felt their hearts sank when they saw Chen Lan's face that looked like a demon.
…
21st century.
Jiang Zhenyu was looking through a business plan in the study. As soon as he heard Xiao Jingzhou's words, he put down the pen.
"The emperor leads the army in person?"
Xiao Jingzhou said gently: "Yes."
"The situation in the capital is stable. I plan to let Yan Gang guard the capital."
Jiang Zhenyu: "Isn't Yan Gang a civil servant?"
Xiao Jingzhou responded.
It was this sound that made Jiang Zhenyu react.
She said, "That's good, this way there will be someone to handle all the memorials from the capital and all the matters concerning the refugees.
You can also relax and fight on the front lines. ”
The current headquarters of the Dajing Dynasty is not in the capital at all, but in Zhiyi City and Yuanfeng City.
As soon as the King of Dayan died, Qi Hou and Wei Wenshan went to guard the area, opened mines and forged weapons, thus eliminating the threat to the southeast of Dajing.
Lu Heng and Mu Zhao led an army of 100,000 to fight in Eastern Zhou, thus avoiding an attack from the east of Dajing.
The Southern Tang was not a powerful force, and most of the Western Jin's military forces were in the north.
Dajingjing City has become the safest place.
Jiang Zhenyu asked: "What are your plans next?"
Xiao Jingzhou has been busy with government affairs during this period, and he rarely tells her anything except important information.
Every late night, Xiao Jingzhou said nothing and only wanted to hear what happened to Jiang Zhenyu in modern times.
The two of them have been in this mode for a long time.
It was not until today that Jiang Zhenyu realized that Xiao Jingzhou had never lifted the burden on his shoulders.
Xiao Jingzhou said: "I plan to have Chen Lan head west to the Western Jin Dynasty and attack the imperial city."
"All of them are right. The Western Jin Dynasty is in chaos. Chu Jin will definitely not be able to sit still and will lead the army to rush to the Western Jin Dynasty to rescue the emperor."
"And my battlefield is in the north."
"This time, I will make Beiliang and Chibei disappear and incorporate them into Dajing's territory!"
