The civil and military officials in the court were not sure what Chu Fan was trying to do. During the few months since Chu Fan took office, he had been incompetent and had not accomplished anything.
I didn't expect that he would dare to forcefully marry Mu Yunfeng's daughter today. Is Chu Fan really not afraid of Mu Yunfeng's rebellion?
Chu Fan also hoped that Mu Yunfeng would rebel, but things turned out to be unexpected. Not only did Mu Yunfeng not rebel, he didn't even show any dissatisfaction.
"I will never let your majesty down." Mu Yunfeng's eyes were firm, his heart brimming with endless loyalty and love for his country. He was fully aware of the heavy burden on his shoulders and the high expectations your majesty placed on him. From this moment on, he would do his utmost to resist the Xiongnu invasion and would not allow them to advance even a single step.
The court was dismissed not long after. Chu Fan was waiting for Mu Yunfeng to start a rebellion, so that he could return to Blue Star and live a carefree life.
You should know that in the history of Blue Star, there have been too many generals and prime ministers who rebelled to become emperors. It is well known that Prime Minister Cao not only liked other people's wives, but what is even more famous is that Cao Cao used the emperor to control the princes.
What Chu Fan didn't know, however, was that all this was merely his own wishful thinking. Mu Yunfeng and most of the ministers in the court were fiercely loyal to the country. Mu Yunfeng didn't dare to send troops because he feared the corrupt officials in the court would speak ill of him behind his back. If Chu Fan listened to those corrupt officials and made the wrong decision, Wei's situation would become even more difficult.
If he stayed in the imperial capital Kaifeng, he could put up a strong resistance when the Huns attacked the imperial capital.
Now that His Majesty the Emperor wants to marry his daughter, and Chu Fan doesn't have any concubines in his harem, his daughter may even become the queen if she enters the harem.
He could now send troops with complete confidence to fight against the Huns' invasion and recover lost territory.
After returning to the mansion, Mu Yunfeng immediately summoned his staff and generals. After hearing what Mu Yunfeng said, no one knew what Chu Fan was going to do.
But now the emperor has issued the imperial order, and everyone has to set out to resist the invasion. In addition, the Huns are about to reach the imperial capital, and if we don’t resist, the Wei Kingdom will be destroyed.
After the discussion, Mu Yunfeng went to his daughter and wanted to know what she thought about marrying into the imperial palace. If his daughter really didn't want to, he would have to wait until he returned from fighting the Huns and then have a good discussion with the emperor.
Looking at his daughter in front of him, Yunfeng felt a mixture of emotions. He felt that his family was somewhat protected because his daughter could enter the harem, but he was also worried about his daughter's entry into the royal family.
"Xi'er," he called softly, his voice carrying a barely perceptible tenderness, "Do you know what happened in the court today?"
Mu Yunfeng's daughter, Mu Xi, was a talented, beautiful and gentle woman. She had already learned about what happened today from the servants.
Her voice was clear and firm: "Father, I understand. Your Majesty's intention is unexpected, but I am willing to put the country first and obey your orders."
Mu Yunfeng gazed at his daughter with a mixture of relief and reluctance. He knew that once he entered the palace, he would be entering an unknown and dangerous world. But he also knew that his daughter's talent and courage were enough to allow her to shine in this world of power and conspiracy.
"Xi'er, remember this," Mu Yunfeng said earnestly, "no matter where you are, you must maintain your integrity and not be swayed by power. Since His Majesty has this intention, our Mu family should fully support him to repay the emperor's grace. But you must also be vigilant at all times. The hearts of those in the palace are unpredictable, so you must proceed with caution."
Mu Xi nodded in agreement, her eyes gleaming with determination and resolve. She knew she was embarking on an unusual path, but she was ready to use her wisdom and courage to write her own legend.
In addition, she had grown up with Chu Fan since childhood, and Chu Fan's figure had long been engraved in her heart. After Chu Fan became emperor, there was a gap between them, and they no longer had any contact.
Meanwhile, Chu Fan was alone in the imperial study, fiddling with his telescope, deeply puzzled as to why Mu Yunfeng hadn't rebelled yet. The Imperial City's garrison was small to begin with, and Mu Yunfeng held considerable power over the city's military. If he wanted to rebel, he would surely succeed.
However, Chu Fan waited all night but did not hear any news of Mu Yunfeng's rebellion. Instead, he heard the news that the Mu family sent their daughter to the palace.
He had secretly transferred most of the gold, silver and treasures in the inner treasury. All he needed was Mu Yunfeng's fire, and he would be able to leave this ancient world that made him feel constrained and return to the Blue Star he had been thinking about, and continue his leisurely and comfortable life.
Chu Fan's brows were furrowed, and the telescope in his hand seemed to be the embodiment of his anxiety.
Chu Fan didn't expect that Mu Yunfeng was not an ordinary person. His loyalty to the emperor and patriotism were deeply rooted, and it was not easy to make him rebel easily.
The next day, after Mu Xi entered the palace, Chu Fan looked at the beautiful woman before him. His mind flashed back to every little detail of his time with Mu Xi. Chu Fan's original plan to embarrass Mu Xi and force Mu Yunfeng into a fight had to be abandoned.
The complex emotions he expressed towards Mu Xi seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force in his heart. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, but his eyes still flickered with unresolved thoughts.
Every smile and every gentle word from Mu Xi replayed in Chu Fan's mind like a movie. Every detail was as vivid as yesterday.
Mu Xi looked at the person in front of her and bowed with a smile, "Your Majesty, your servant greets you."
"Get up, we haven't seen each other for just a few months, how come we feel so distant?" Chu Fan had already recalled all his memories with Mu Xi. Mu Xi was one of the rare white moonlights in the memories Chu Fan had received.
"Brother Chu Fan, what is that in your hand?" As a girl from a general's family, Mu Xi didn't have so many etiquettes. After chatting with Chu Fan for a while, Mu Xi returned to the way she used to get along with Chu Fan.
Chu Fan put the telescope in Mu Xi's hand and told Mu Xi how to use it.
After using the telescope for a while, Mu Xi realized the importance of this item. Mu Xi asked Chu Fan, "Brother Chu Fan, can you give me this telescope?"
"Sure, I'll give this to you." Chu Fan had nine telescopes in the system space, so he only needed one. This could definitely be given to Mu Xi.
After getting the telescope, Mu Xi immediately left the palace and prepared to give it to his father. This telescope could definitely play a greater role on the battlefield.
Chu Fan did not stop this situation. He guessed that Mu Xi left the palace in such a hurry because he might have obtained a treasure and wanted to show off to his parents.
When Mu Yunfeng received the telescope and learned how to use it, his eyes lit up. Chu Fan was willing to give this artifact to his daughter. His Majesty the Emperor still had great trust in his family.
