Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 172
Beijing,

western suburbs,

In the manor under Pingshan,
In a room, Mu Shi's angry roar was heard, and Qiu Shi'an nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile;

"This is what a king looks like, come, drink this cup of wine."

Without saying a word, Mu Shi took it and drank it all in one gulp, his eyes wide open, the blood red look is really scary, he said coldly;
"When the teacher comes here, he must have something to explain. Now that there are no outsiders, what can the teacher teach me?"

Qiu Shi'an put down the wine cup in his hand, and murmured with a complicated expression;

"Teacher, hey, I haven't seen you call me that for a long time. It's been almost 20 years now, and you don't come back to live in the capital. What's the point of staying in this mountain nest? Do you know what happened in the capital now?" ?”

Hearing the teacher's question, Duke Dongping was also at a loss. After all, he hadn't lived in the capital for a long time, so he was slow to know about the capital, or he didn't know.

After all, I asked this question with a deep meaning. After thinking about it, I don't know much about what happened after the frontier army entered the city. Could it be that there are repetitions.

asked with a sincere face;

"Also ask the teacher to teach me."

"Well, children can be taught."

Qiu Shi'an just sat there, and unhurriedly talked about the big and small things in the capital, without any details, and focused on the news of the King of Beijing and Luo Yunhou's entry into the capital to confront the Jia family.

Mu Shi was also shocked for a moment, and he did not expect the situation to repeat itself.

Beijing Wang Shui Rong, Mu Shi's face flashed with resentment, but now he is also under the military power, and his heart is still a little refreshed.

"Teacher, these things are not different, are they?"

"Hey, if you stay here any longer, it will be useless. Can't you see that all the ministries in the capital are splitting up and wooing each other. Among other things, the King of Jingjing is adding support. Others don't know it, but the miscellaneous family knows it very well. "

Mu Shi was shocked, what did he mean by that? Could it be that the King of Beijing already has enough strength?

"Teacher, has King Bei Jing recovered?"

Seeing Mu Shi panicked, Qiu Shi'an said angrily;
"That's not true. It's just that he has already recruited the second general of the frontier army. I also found out about this incident by accident. I am responsible for the purchases in the palace. When the goods were picked up in the canal, the Zhen family's boat was unloaded in Yunyang. , directly into the hands of the Yunyang frontier army, what do you think is such a coincidence?"

Qiu Shi'an seemed to be mocking and said again;
"I sent people to keep an eye on it. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, many cargo ships came here. After the Yunyang Frontier Army took over, they sent people to deliver some supplies and wanted to go west. Do you know what it means?"

Mu Shi was a little flustered for a while, and asked casually;

"What does that mean?"

Qiu Shi'an said firmly;

"This proves that this material is not just given to the Yunyang frontier army, there must be another one, so guess who this one will be?"

"Teacher, please tell me, who will it be?"

Qiu Shi'an didn't say anything, sat back, continued to take a sip of tea, stared closely at Mu Shi's eyes and asked;
"Do you still need me to say, who was assigned to the frontier army under the command of the Northern Palace?"

Only then did Dongping County King Mu Shi come to his senses, and he also poured himself a full cup of tea, drank it all in one gulp, shook his head, and settled down to think about it carefully.

The frontier army was mainly controlled by the Duke of Dawu, because the Jia family took over the Jingying in the capital and withdrew some of the frontier army generals.

Then the two kings of the Northeast lost their military power in turn, and the court added generals and troops to the frontier army, so the Northern King's subordinates naturally refer to the two generals Zhaowu and Zhaoyong.

"The teacher refers to the two generals Hou Xiuqing and Jiang Chengchu."

After Mu Shi spoke out coldly, Qiu Shi'an nodded in satisfaction,
"Of course, it's the two of them, didn't you expect that?"

"I didn't expect that these two people left the Northern Prince's Mansion a long time ago and joined the frontier army system of the Duke's Mansion. Why are they eating inside and outside again now?"

"Hahaha!"

Qiu Shi'an actually laughed out loud,

"That's right, if you have milk, you're a mother. If it weren't for the frontier army's entry into Beijing this time, it wouldn't have happened, but just at this time, the emperor let the frontier army into Beijing. You also know that the Duke's school is good in everything but poor. When these two met the King of Beijing, do you think it was dry sticks touching a raging fire?"

"The teacher is right, come and drink this cup of wine."

The two filled another cup, held it up, respected each other, and drank it down again.

"Happy! Today, this king is living comfortably. Teacher, there must be something wrong with the emperor letting the frontier army enter the capital. Either it is the emperor, or the civil servants, or both."

After finishing speaking, Mu Shi regained his composure, and Qiu Shi'an congratulated Yang Jing when he saw this;

"Congratulations to the prince for coming back. This statement is true. The emperor wants to seize power, and so do the civil servants. The current capital is a hundred times more lively than the New Year."

"Then when will the king show up?"

"Hurry up. Tomorrow is the Great Court Meeting. The Emperor specially uses the Qianqing Palace, and the Grand Competition in the capital will be three days away. Find a way to get General Yang Baoqing to advance his ranking."

Mu Shi naturally knew that the teacher was referring to Yang Baoqing, the general of the frontier army in Shanyang County, who was a former minister of the East Prince's Mansion. He was loyal to the old prince and took good care of himself. It's time to do something.

"That night, I will work hard for the teacher, and I will return to Beijing after dinner."

"Okay, if you can cheer up, the miscellaneous family will be pleased."

When Qiu Shi'an said this, tears flowed from his eyes. Mu Shi was silent for a while, but just as he was about to speak, he heard a knock on the door. Qiu Shi'an immediately wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

And Mu Shi, the king of Dongping County, had a bad expression on his face and shouted angrily;
"who,?"

The steward of the villa trembled when he heard the question in a bad tone, and replied in a depressed manner;
"My lord, the steward of the slave villa, the capital came here to send invitations, and I specifically told him to send them to the lord."

Mu Shi looked at Qiu Shi'an, who nodded, and then said;

"Come in, what invitation?"

The steward lowered his head and came in without daring to speak loudly, so he replied in a low voice;

"Go back to the lord, this is actually sent by Yi Chun Yuan."

"Huh? Yichun Courtyard!"

Mu Shi accepted it in surprise, took a look at it and sent the steward out first, the steward trotted away as if he had received an amnesty, closed the door and then leaned against the wall and took a deep breath.

Mu Shi, who was in the room, hurriedly handed over the invitation card, and Qiu Shi'an also took it and looked at it in wonder.

"Interesting, interesting, everyone wants to jump out now."

"Teacher, the Spring Building of Yichun Courtyard can send out invitations. This king really has never heard of it."

Dong Wang didn't understand that there was still such an operation in the capital, so Qiu Shi'an snorted coldly.

"I don't know who it is, do you know who is the proprietor behind this Yichun Courtyard?"

Mu Shi, the king of Dongping County who has not lived in the capital for a long time, is not sure for a while, but he must know that the one who can set up such a scene tonight must be the prince and his like. Who will the person be.

"Teacher, please be blunt. This king thinks that either Beijing King Shui Rong is a member of the royal family."

Qiu Shi'an admired and said,

"It's quite transparent, and I can think of this, but it is absolutely impossible for the King of Beijing. If he is so jumpy now, the frontier army who just got it can still be kept. It must be a member of the royal family, so the courage must have something to do with the emperor. What do you say?"

Seeing such an explanation, Mu Shi's eyes lit up, and said;
"The teacher is talking about Zhou Jian'an, the emperor's brother-in-law, Prince Zhongshun, right?"

"It must be him."

Seeing that the teacher was so sure, Mu Shi was also relieved. This week Jian'an was defeated outside the pass. It is a big deal for such a person to come out now.

Furthermore, Luo Yunhou, this fierce man stepped on his head, which is interesting, so interesting, it will be an eye-opener tonight.

"Teacher, thank you for your kindness."

Mu Shi stood up and bowed deeply, Qiu Shian quickly supported him, and said with emotion;
"Miscellaneous families are also useless people. The palace has not contributed so far. I am really ashamed. Our family is getting older. I am afraid that we don't have much time to repay the favor of the old prince. Do everything you can. Prince, people are not afraid of failure. If you don’t have an enterprising heart, you can see that the North King is working hard at such a grade, not to mention the West King and the South King, now that the general situation has been established, it is difficult to move."

"Cough cough."

Qiu Shi'an suddenly coughed a few times, Mu Shi hastily supported him, and asked worriedly;

"Teacher, you."

Qiu Shian waved his hand,

"Nothing. You listen to me."

"The rise of Marquis Luoyun outside the pass must have blocked the Northern King's whereabouts and had to be brought back to life in the frontier army. But you, Jiangnan can't go back, you can only wait. Now the rapid development of Jiangnan Taiping Sect may change color someday. So you have to be fully prepared and wait for the right time, remember that the southeast border may not be a good place, if you go there, don’t come back.”

Qiu Shi'an tightly grasped Mu Shi's hands and said sharply.

"Remember?"

"Remember the teacher, you will go with the apprentice in time, and we father and son will enjoy our blessings."

"Good boy, good."

Mu Shi's heart was greatly touched. Knowing these words was to comfort himself. In such a grade, there are still a few days left to live by then. Forget it, my Eastern King is by no means inferior to others.

"Teacher, take your time to rest. I take a bath and change clothes. I am going back to Beijing. I will meet the heroes for a while."

Dongping County King Mu Shi's eyes were like a wolf's, cold and vicious.

"Go, go, bring more guards, be careful if there is no big mistake, the miscellaneous family will not accompany you, this barbecue is delicious, I am eating some."

Mu Shi bowed respectfully,
"The teacher eats slowly, the students go first."

After saluting, he strode out of the house and shouted;
"Come here, prepare to bathe and change this king."

"It's the lord."

A large number of servants and maidservants came out from nowhere, looking at the busy people, Mu Shi turned a room and went in, saw the princess with red eyes inside, and said softly;

"My concubine, it's hard for you, I will go back to Beijing with the king tonight."

The princess wept with joy and sobbed back;

"Okay, okay, everything is up to the prince."

After a while, Mu Shi changed into royal clothes after taking a bath, trimmed his beard, and a gentle and elegant young man walked out without anger and prestige. He was confident like never before, flamboyant and restrained. , with guards.

Dong Wang on the horse shouted;
"Go back to Beijing!"
