The next day, in the early dynasty, hundreds of civil and military officials were in order, waiting on the Jinluan Palace.The early dynasty has arrived, but the emperor did not appear on time.The ministers were puzzled, thinking that after the emperor ascended the throne, he had never mistaken the early dynasty for no reason.What's the matter today, could it be that the county lord came back yesterday, what caused the emperor to delay, after all, it is said that the county lord cried after returning to the palace yesterday.Everyone waited for a moment and found that not only did the emperor not come, but Li Muqing was also not there.Zuo Xiang and Yongkang Hou looked at each other, both very puzzled.The two looked at Prince Ying together.Prince Ying's morning dynasty is different from the past, early in the morning, his expression seems to be in a trance, sometimes happy and sometimes worried, his brows are tight and sometimes loose, the emperor may be an early dynasty, but he seems not to have found it, immersed in his own world.Zuo Xiang and Yongkang Hou looked at Prince Ying for a while, and they didn't know why.The two of them approached him and shouted, but he didn't hear it.Zuo Xiang patted Prince Ying on the shoulder, "Prince" Prince Ying came back to his senses, glanced around, chaotic, he looked at Zuo Xiang, and hurriedly asked, "Zuo Xiang, what's the matter?"
Zuo Xiang was speechless for a while, shook his head, "The emperor didn't come, and he hasn't come early." ”Prince Ying let out an "oh".Yongkang Hou hurriedly asked, "Lord, what happened to you" "What's the matter" Prince Ying looked at Yongkang Hou.Yongkang Hou pointed at him, "You are happy and worried at this time, it doesn't look right, what's going on in the house" Prince Ying heard the words "hey" and sighed, "It's a big thing." ”The two looked at him, "The prince can easily say that let's see if the two of us can help" Prince Ying shook his head, "No one can help with this" The two of them suddenly looked solemn, "What makes the prince happy and sad, we can't help, but we are curious." ”Prince Ying opened his mouth, glanced around, and said, "Why hasn't the emperor come yet?"
"I don't know, maybe something is delayed." ”The two said, "Li Muqing didn't come either, maybe he was talking to the emperor about things." ”Prince Ying nodded, and when he saw the two of them looking at him, waiting for him to solve his doubts, he sighed again and said, "My daughter-in-law is pregnant." ”Zuo Xiang was stunned, "You said that Xue Ying's child is not that she can't do it in a short time" "It's not your daughter, it's Qin Zheng's daughter-in-law, Hua girl." ”Prince Ying said.Zuo Xiang was even more shocked this time, "The little princess is pregnant" Yongkang Hou was also surprised, "It turned out that the little princess was pregnant, this is a big joy, what is the prince still doing with this expression, he is happy" Prince Ying sighed again, "You all know that Hua Yatou is not in good health."
The princess tossed and turned yesterday and didn't sleep all night.I was also worried, afraid that she would not be able to stand it. ”"It's worrying, it's been a few months now," Zuo asked."
It's been two months."
Prince Ying said."
This little prince and the little princess have been away from Beijing for a long time, can you say when they will come back," Yongkang Hou said, "Yesterday, the girl in my family knew that the county lord had returned to Beijing, and she wanted to enter the palace to ask about the situation of the little princess, but she was stopped by my wife." ”Prince Ying shook his head, "I don't know when I will come back, the two countries are at war, they have a lot of things to deal with, and they probably won't be able to come back for a while."
That's what worries people. ”"Mobei is far away, and we can't reach it in Beijing.Don't worry, this is a good thing, it's useless to worry, let the princess burn a few more incense, and ask the Buddha and Bodhisattva to bless it. ”Yongkang Hou said."
Hou Ye also believes in Buddhism," Zuo asked.Yongkang Hou shook his head and nodded, "Normally, at such times, believe more." ”Prince Ying bowed his head, "When I go back, I ask the princess to bow more every day." ”After the three of them finished talking, Li Muqing walked in from the outside, followed by the second chief manager next to the emperor and Ruyi in the queen mother's palace.Someone stepped forward, "Lord Li, is the emperor still going to the early court" Someone also stepped forward and asked, "Isn't it early today" Prince Ying, Zuo Xiang, and Yongkang Hou also looked at Li Muqing.Li Muqing rubbed his eyebrows, sighed, and bowed his hand to everyone, "Everyone, the emperor has gone to Mobei." ”The ministers were shocked when they heard this.Prince Ying's face immediately changed, and he didn't care about entangled Qin Zheng and Xie Fanghua, so he hurriedly stepped forward and looked at Li Muqing, "Lord Li, why didn't the emperor go to Mobei, why didn't we get the slightest rumor, when did the emperor leave" Li Muqing handed the holy decree in his sleeve to Prince Ying, and said helplessly, "I also received the holy decree sent by the emperor earlier, and I just knew."
Yesterday night, the emperor left.The prince and the adults will read the holy decree for themselves. ”Prince Ying hurriedly took the holy decree, and after taking a look, he said angrily, "What a fool" Zuo Xiang hurriedly stepped forward, and after reading the holy decree, he was speechless.After Yongkang Hou read the holy decree, he said worriedly, "Oh, why did the emperor only bring one Zheng Xiaoyang, how far away is this Mobei, he is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, if something happens to this, what can I do in the South Qin Jiangshan" The ministers were also panicked when they heard this, and they didn't know what to do.Li Muqing looked at everyone for a moment, and after everyone digested the news, he said helplessly, "Lord Wang, Lord Xiang, Lord Hou, all my lords."
The matter has come to this point, we can only respect the holy decree, stabilize the situation in Beijing, and wait for the emperor's news. ”Prince Ying looked at Li Muqing, opened his mouth to say something, thought about it, stopped again, nodded, and followed his words, "That's all." ”Zuo Xiang also glanced at Li Muqing, shook his head, and sighed, "We are old." ”Yongkang Hou also sighed, "Yes, even the emperor can't stand it." ”Li Muqing said slowly, "The emperor is both martial and military, it is the son of Yingming, the battle between Southern Qin and Northern Qi, and the emperor has already planned to drive the expedition in person.But because of the fact that all of us stopped it, the emperor could only give up.Now, it is understandable that I can't sit still.Let the Northern Qi know that our emperor of Southern Qin can not only rule the world civilly, but also rule the world by force.Ladies and gentlemen, we have such courage to go to the battlefield to fight and kill the saints, and the courtiers should be proud. ”Everyone looked at each other, and some people nodded one after another, "Master Li has a point. ”"Thanks to the emperor's entrustment of the position of supervising the country, the virtue of this official is still shallow, and his ability is insufficient.But since the emperor trusts him, he doesn't dare to lose it.After today, before the emperor returns to Beijing, the official will accept the help of many colleagues.Work together in the same boat, stabilize the dynasty, and wait for the emperor to return victoriously. ”Li Muqing's words fell, and he arched his hand to everyone.Someone hurriedly said, "Lord Li is serious," there is a humane, "but it is up to Lord Li to send it." ”There is a humane, "Lord Li is very capable, and the emperor has entrusted Lord Li with the responsibility of supervising the country, and he has not entrusted the wrong person."
I'll listen to Master Lee. ”Everyone expressed their stance in unison.Prince Ying, Zuo Xiang, and Yongkang Hou glanced at each other, and nodded in unison, "Master Li is young and promising, and the three of us will also help."
Don't let the court situation go wrong, so that the emperor has no worries. ”"Thank you to the prince, the prime minister, and the marquis."
Li Muqing smiled slightly, holding the breeze and the moon.Everyone looked at Li Muqing, who was young, just the official position of the prime minister, but he was entrusted by the emperor with the position of supervising the country.Li Muqing is even more blue than the right minister back then.The young emperor went on an expedition, and the young courtiers supervised the country.Complement each other.Hundreds of civil and military officials are not fools, and in their selfish hearts, they will have a little bit of care.The older generation of people who have not resigned and retired to the dynasty think that they are old, and now they are the world of the younger generation.They have more than they can do.The younger generation of people thought that Master Li was above 10,000 people under him, holding the holy decree in his hand, obviously he had been ordered by the emperor yesterday, and he knew that the emperor had left early in the morning, and that he only found out this morning, it was just a rhetoric in front of everyone.As long as they look ahead to others, they will have a future in the future.The emperor only left with Zheng Xiaoyang, such a great grace, in the future, this Lord Zheng will also be Lingyun upright, and he must not be offended.Although everyone has their own thoughts, they all know one thing in their hearts, the emperor went to the Mobei military camp, in this court, Li Muqing has the final say, this Lord Li with his wrist, will definitely build the rear of Southern Qin and Kyoto into a solid one.The emperor is not in Beijing, and everyone must be more cautious and not make mistakes.Next, Li Muqing discussed with everyone about the affairs of the court.Before Qin Yu left yesterday, the important recitals were all reviewed, and Li Muqing discussed some trivial matters with Prince Ying, Zuo Xiang, Yongkang Hou and others, and everything went according to plan and dispersed.Qin Yu's departure, although it made the Manchu Dynasty civil and military panic for a while, did not cause chaos and quickly stabilized.After the morning court, Li Muqing greeted everyone for a while, and then went to find Cheng Ming.Cheng Ming has been idle since Yan Ting left.Earlier, he was caught by Yanting to work, and he was tired to death.It was right to call him not to enter the court.But this captured labor, and there is no money, and it is not very good.Now, Yan Ting is gone with reinforcements, he is fine, Coke, leisurely.Li Muqing went to Cheng's house, felt empty, inquired, and said that he was listening to music in the teahouse, so he went to the teahouse.Yan Ting was really listening to music in the teahouse, and Song Fang was sitting next to him, and the two of them were not leisurely.Li Muqing came and sat opposite them, and they listened to it with relish, looked at him, glared together, and asked in unison, "Master Li, why do you have time to listen to music today?"
"The emperor went to Mobei." ”Li Muqing said.The two of them were stunned, "Why haven't you heard about it?"
"I left quietly last night, and everyone just knew." ”Li Muqing said.The two glanced at each other and nodded, "The emperor should go to Mobei, if he has the ability to do something, he is trapped in the palace, how boring." ”Li Muqing smiled and looked at the two of them, "The emperor left an order, and the two of you will enter the court and supervise the grain and grass." ”The two of them immediately raised their eyebrows, especially Cheng Ming, and immediately said, "The emperor also left an order for him to know that I will not enter the court."
I said it a long time ago, and he agreed, I have no interest in the court, I just want to make the business bigger, and I promised to pay me one-third of the grain, grass and military salary.How can he go back on his word now" Li Muqing shook his head, "This time and that time."
Zheng Xiaoyang was originally suitable to supervise the grain and grass, but he was more suitable to go to Mobei with the emperor.was taken away by the emperor.This supervising the matter of grain and grass, looking at the court, except for the two of you, there is no suitable person. ”Cheng Ming shook his head resolutely, "A while ago, Yan Ting's non-human thing grabbed me and tired me to death.Don't do it, don't do it.Neither will the Holy Decree work.I finally took a break and just caught my breath.I don't want to be tired to death anymore. ”Song Fang also shook his head, "I haven't stopped yet." ”Li Muqing didn't persuade the two of them when he heard this, and said, "I have a piece of news, do you want to hear it." ”"What kind of news is good or bad," Cheng Ming looked at him defensively, "You don't bend for us." ”Li Muqing smiled, "About Brother Qin Zheng and Fanghua." ”"Listen to this."
Cheng Ming said immediately.Song Fang nodded, "After they left, we all heard from the teahouse that Mr.
Storyteller said about him, and there was not a letter, which was not interesting enough." ”Li Muqing said, "Do you know why the emperor went to the Mobei military camp?"
and "Why did you go back to the emperor again" The two were dissatisfied.Li Muqing said, "This matter is related to Brother Qin Zheng and Fanghua. ”"Then you can say it."
Cheng Ming waved his hand.Li Muqing said slowly, "Fanghua is happy." ”"What do you mean to be happy," Cheng Ming asked puzzled.Song Fang patted Cheng Ming's head, "You are stupid, if you are happy, you are pregnant." ”Cheng Ming let out an "ah", stood up, looked at Li Muqing, "Really" Li Muqing smiled, "Naturally, it's true." ”Cheng Ming patted his head, "We don't have a daughter-in-law yet, so he will be a father, hateful." ”"Hurry up and get married."
Song Fang said, "Otherwise, when his child is born, we won't rush to fix the baby." ”"That's right," Cheng Ming nodded.Li Muqing looked at the two of them wordlessly for a moment, shook his head, and said with a smile, "Fanghua has been pregnant for two months, but her physical condition is not very good, I'm afraid she can't stand it." ”The smiles on the faces of the two of them suddenly subsided.Li Muqing said again, "The emperor went to Mobei because he didn't worry about them and didn't want them to delay his affairs because of the military."
You know, Brother Qin Zheng and Fang Hua both have the responsibility of Southern Qin Jiangshan on their shoulders.In the past year, the two have hardly been idle.For the sake of this dynasty and the foundation of the country, they have suffered a lot, and protecting the people of Southern Qin is a heavy burden that they have always shouldered.How much suffering, how much tiredness, both of them carried it. ”The two nodded in unison, Qin Zheng and Xie Fanghua did what Nanqin Jiangshan did, although they didn't know a lot, they also knew a little, it was really hard, what they did was not something that anyone could do.Li Muqing said again, "The emperor is the emperor of Southern Qin, first, he left the government for the sake of responsibility, left the capital, went to Mobei, and drove to the military camp in person.The second is so that they can rest assured that the Mobei military can handle their own affairs with peace of mind, and save their lives and the safety of the fetus and mother and child in Fanghua's womb. ”The two nodded again.Li Muqing said again, "It seems that there is no gap between my Southern Qin and Northern Qi now, once the reinforcements led by Yan Ting and Cui Yizhi arrive, the strength will be on par with Northern Qi."
However, this is only on the bright side.The two of you and Yan Ting have supervised the grain and grass military salaries together, and you all know it.In our southern Qin, there is a drought this year, and we have not prepared for many years, and the domestic grain, grass and military salaries are only enough for one year.And the Northern Qi Dynasty has been preparing for many years.Our Southern Qin can only fight a quick battle, and we can't afford to fight with Northern Qi. ”The two nodded again.Li Muqing said again, "However, when the forces of the two sides are equal, it is not easy to defeat.A few days ago, our army defeated the Northern Qi army, also because the prince of the Northern Qi underestimated the enemy.Now, if he fights again, he will definitely learn his lesson.In particular, the uncle of the small country of Northern Qi is also in the army, and since then, he will definitely support Qi Yanqing with all his strength for the sake of the Northern Qi family.Yu Yanchen, you have all seen his talent, it can be said that he is not inferior to Brother Qin Zheng in any way.People who can be compared with him, even if the emperor goes to Mobei and fights against him, in a short period of time, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with. ”The two nodded again.Li Muqing looked at the two of them, stopped talking, and concluded, "So, although the emperor promised you not to enter the court about the military salary in the DPRK.But I strongly suggest that the emperor can only break his promise.But don't worry, you don't like the court, and only supervise the military salary during the time when the emperor is away from Beijing.I can't trust anyone else.When the emperor returns to Beijing, the country will be decided, and you will resign from your official position again, and you will be relieved. ”The two looked at each other and didn't answer for a while.Li Muqing said a long paragraph, and everything was very clear, so he didn't say anything more when the two of them decided.After a while, Cheng Ming sighed, "You've talked about it to such a point, we don't agree anymore, it seems that Te is not a man anymore."
After all, there is a country to have a home.The land of Southern Qin, there is also a little bit of us, the national disaster is at the head, no matter how tired we are, we have to go to the top, and we can't shirk it. ”"Yes, don't think about listening to music in the future."
Song Fangdao.Li Muqing expected him to say such a thing, and the two would definitely agree, and said with a smile, "There is still time to marry my daughter-in-law." ”"After marrying a daughter-in-law, did you also take the time to give birth to a child?"
Song Fang asked.Li Muqing smiled and nodded, "This is okay." ”Cheng Ming laughed.Song Fang also laughed.Li Muqing looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "That's it" The two nodded, pushed the teacup, and said, "Let's go with you, before the emperor returns to Beijing, he will be mixed with you." ”Li Muqing smiled and bowed his hand, and also got up and said, "Okay, I will settle the two adults on a monthly basis." ”:
