Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 403 The Great Court Meeting

Although things were unsatisfactory, I heard Zhao Mu agreed. This can be considered a good start.

Concubine Chai and Zhao Ji no longer bothered Zhao Mu.

Seeing that both mothers were sent away, Zhao Mu was really relieved.

At this moment, Ju Jian walked in with tea. She put the tea away and said, "My slave, congratulations to the young master for getting married again."

Zhao Mu looked at the hair ornament on Ju Jian's head, and after confirming her identity, Zhao Mu took her into his arms.

Zhao Mu kissed her on the cheek and said: "Compared with those I have never met, I want to marry my Ju Jian more."

Ju Jian said with a blushing face: "Young Master, what are you talking about? We four sisters have been yours since the Lord gave it to you. Young Master, if you are, if you are..." Although Ju Jian Jian has always been the most outgoing among the four swordsmen, but he really couldn't say this shameful thing.

Zhao Mu kissed her on the cheek again, and then said: "No need to say it, I know everything. Looking at the current situation, I am afraid that the position of concubine cannot be given to you four sisters. If you four sisters do not have the position, It doesn’t feel good at all. How about I make you four sisters my wives from now on?”

At this time, a voice came: "We just need to serve the young master as slaves and maids. If you really want to be a wife, the concubine will be tired of putting on airs all day long."

Zhao Mu raised his eyes and saw that the person walking in was Lan Jian.

When Lan Jian came closer, he reached out and hugged her again.

Zhao Mu held the two little girls in his arms and asked, "By the way! How did you complete the task I assigned you? How many experts were transferred from the Vulture Palace?"

Ju Jian replied: "We returned to Lingjiu Palace to talk to the Lord about what happened here. The Lord specially selected thirty masters from the Juntian tribe to come. After we arrived, Master Xuan led the followers. The dragon guards have all gone back."

Zhao Mu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay! In this case, I have nothing to worry about. Every time I go out, I am afraid that something will happen at home. Now that I have your protection at home, I feel relieved."

Zhao Mu looked at Lan Jian and Ju Jian beside him. Although he had intentions, he was somewhat "powerless" now.

But it's not that he is really powerless, but that he has lost interest in the past few days.

He came with Li Qinglu, but Li Qinglu was not polite at all. When she came back, she stayed with Zhao Mu every night.

Zhao Mu vented all his loneliness during this period on her, and he really had no interest in it.

After dinner that night, Zhao Mu returned to his bedroom. Mu Wanqing, who was in the bedroom, saw Zhao Mu coming back.

She quickly wrapped the quilt tightly around herself, and her eyes were still slightly frightened as she said, "Don't be too rude. I haven't been feeling well these days."

Looking at Mu Wanqing's appearance, Zhao Mu couldn't help but smile.

Zhao Mu said: "Don't worry, my princess. We will only rest tonight."

Hearing this, Mu Wanqing couldn't help but feel strange, but then she lowered her face and said, "Okay! It's not enough for you to have so many women around you, and you even provoke wild women outside! Father is not a good person, you Same thing."

After saying that, Mu Wanqing picked up her pillow and threw it towards Zhao Mu.

Zhao Mu took the pillow smoothly, and he also felt a little emotional about women's fickleness.

In the past, I begged myself to take concubines and begged myself to find other women. But now that she got her wish, she started to make trouble again. As soon as Zhao Mu raised his hand, a breeze blew by, and the buttons of Mu Wanqing's inner shirt were directly torn open, and the pink belly came into Zhao Mu's eyes.

Zhao Mu said with a bad smile: "I just lied to you! My dear concubine, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I will take good care of you!" Zhao Mu had no choice but to make Li Qinglu's identity public now. I can only temporarily work overtime to fool Mu Wanqing first.

Mu Wanqing protected her chest and said, "Despicable! Shameless! Dirty!"

But she said it was too late, because Zhao Mu had already pounced on him.

At midnight, Mu Wanqing was lying on her back, Zhao Mu was beside her, pinched her little face and said, "How is my concubine? Did I eat secretly outside?"

Mu Wanqing glared at Zhao Mu, and then said: "You should eat outside secretly from now on. I'm afraid I will be tortured to death by you in the future."

Although Mu Wanqing said this, there was a smile on her face after she turned sideways. Now she doesn't object to Zhao Mu finding more women, but it's okay to find girls, but he can't go out to eat without telling her.

Early the next morning, Zhao Mu got up early. After changing his clothes, he drove into the palace to attend today's court meeting.

But today, Zhao Mu did not wear a python robe, but put on his own official robe. He is now the Minister of the Ministry of War. Although it is only a false position, he is still a high-ranking official.

However, although Zhao Mu was worshiped as "Minister of War", his rank was not high. Just the third grade.

This is because the Song Dynasty inherited the Tang system, and generally the second- and third-grade official positions, such as Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong, were honorary official titles.

The real power official title of the second rank is the position of prime minister of Sima Guang and Cai Que. There are also the privy envoys of King Zhongxiao Huyanxiong.

However, although Zhao Mu's official rank is the third rank, his actual position is considered to be the second rank. He also has the rank of Zhe Zongfeng, who is involved in political affairs.

Zhao Mu was a little uncomfortable with going to court as an official for the first time. This is because he felt that the official robes of the Song Dynasty were too ugly and not as good-looking as his own python robes. There are two hat wings on both sides of the hat, and Zhao Mu always has the urge to shake them.

Although Zhao Mu was the Minister of the Ministry of War, he stood among the civil servants. The position is behind Sima Guang. Among Class Three, he was on the same level as Su Zhe. Not far behind him was Su Shi, who was recalled to Beijing.

Zhe Zong was also very uncomfortable with this meeting. The one who doesn't adapt is naturally Zhao Mu's existence.

Although Zhao Mu looked majestic in his official robe, Zhe Zong always felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it, he realized what the problem was.

That means Zhao Mu stood with those unsightly civil servants. Just stand together, and still stand in the second row. Whenever Zhezong looked at Zhao Mu, the first thing he saw was Sima Guang's annoying old face.

Zhe Zong thought about it and felt that he still had to upgrade Zhao Musheng, and stop hiding behind him.

At the beginning of the Great Court Meeting, civil and military officials reported important national affairs to the emperor. Zhao Mu was just a man in charge of eating but not working. He couldn't get in the middle of the performance at the court, so he just stood there stupidly holding the court board.

When the government was discussing politics, Zhao Mu didn't talk much. Zhezong didn't ask him for his opinion, and he didn't say a word.

After dealing with the important business, the main topic of the day began, which was to summon the envoys of the Liao Kingdom to quickly send away the Princess of Zhao, Yelu Yanxiu, who had been staying in the capital for a long time.

Although the Song Dynasty does not have to deal with one woman, it is not a problem for her to be a princess of the country and stay here all the time. Moreover, she is the head of the Liao mission. The letters of credence signed by Song and Liao were in her hands. If she did not go back, she would not be able to transfer the letters of credence to Yelu Hongji. Then the peace negotiations between Song and Liao would not be considered concluded.
