Stunning weapon

() The first snow that came late, seemed to make up for what was owed. It continued to fall for several days, and the snow on the road was two feet thick, and finally stopped slowly.On the court hall of Shangjing in Xiliang, all the officials are beaming today.

Liu Chengqi had already returned to the capital, but he never showed up for the funeral for Liu Suizhu.

Mo Zhiyuan received the news about Mo Xiaochuan being captured by Liu Jingting forwarded by Qi Xintang, and before he could decide what to do, he received the news that Mo Xiaochuan was on his way back, which saved him a lot of trouble thing.

However, he felt a little strange about the behavior of the Liu brothers, and he was even a little wary of Mo Xiaochuan.Qi Xintang would never have imagined that their kindness would arouse suspicion in Mo Xiaochuan this time.

Liu Chengqi did not go to court. Although he was really attending a funeral, he thought of more problems, but how to solve the problems of Mo Xiaochuan and Mo Zhiyuan. Originally, when he arrested Mo Xiaochuan, he wanted them to If there are conflicts between uncles and nephews, it is best for them to fight first, to support Mo Xiaochuan secretly, and then take the opportunity to make a difference. ..

But now this plan seems to have lifted a rock and smashed his "son" in the foot.This bothered him very much.

Mo Zhiyuan was in the court, and he was not affected by Liu Chengqi's actions this time. The atmosphere of joy among the officials made him very excited. This period of time was all about the barbarian army. He has a headache.

Now I can finally put aside this matter temporarily and enjoy this relaxing moment.

There are relatively few reports from Baiguan today. It is nothing more than something that has so much snow this year. In the coming year, whether it is a horse ranch or a dealer, it will inevitably grow vigorously, and Xiliang's treasury will be enriched again.

At the same time, they didn't sympathize with the people of Yan State, they were still laughing at how many people in Yan State would freeze to death because of the snow.Moreover, they also learned that Mo Xiaochuan was coming back.No one dared to mention Mo Xiaochuan's affairs in Yan State before.

Because Mo Xiaochuan collapsed most of the imperial city of Yan Kingdom, this incident had already reached their ears as if he had grown ears, but Emperor Mo Zhiyuan did not mention this matter in the court, so they naturally I dare not say.

If he said something about rescuing King Chen, if the emperor sent him there, wouldn't he be asking for death?

However, it is different now.King Chen is already on his way back to Beijing. If he can come back alive and have made such great achievements, the emperor will definitely use him more. In the future, King Chen's future is limitless, and no one wants to offend him.

In this way, Mo Xiaochuan was praised one after another in the court.

Gu Lianqing, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, talked even more eloquently, saying: "This snow is God's blessing for me in Xiliang. I am here to go to the country of Yan as an envoy. What I saw and heard along the way made me very moved. The people of the country of Yan are all yellow and emaciated. They don't cover their bodies. When we approached Youzhou City, such scenes were less. After this snowfall, if the country of Yan provides disaster relief, the treasury must be exhausted. If there is no disaster relief, many people will die of cold and hunger. There is no way to survive, and there are even some rebels, and with King Chen making such a fuss in Youzhou City, Emperor Yan may not live long. Once Emperor Yan died, Ye Bo acted impulsively, so it was a good story. As for Ye Yi, he is too narrow-minded to become a great weapon. No matter who ascends the throne, the two brothers, Yan Kingdom will surely decline. It will be of great benefit to me, Xiliang, but no harm. ..."

In the past, several other ministers didn't value the Minister of Rites, who had no real power, and Gu Lianqing's qualifications were average, so few people vassalized what he said, but this time it attracted a lot of attention. People agreed, and some ministers even wrote an impromptu poem.

Of course, it's not only because Gu Lianqing said flattering words, but more importantly, Gu Lianqing traveled with Mo Xiaochuan for more than four months during his mission to Xiliang, and the two must have developed a good friendship.

Perhaps, this Gu Shangshu hugged King Chen's thigh, which was about to grow thick, and was about to turn Xianyu over.

People in this world are happy to do things that add beauty to the scenery.Therefore, in the court, someone immediately praised Mo Xiaochuan again, and they only wished to praise Mo Xiaochuan to the sky.

Later Mo Zhiyuan heard what they were saying, so he stood up slowly and said: "Today is the New Year's Eve, if you adults have nothing to play, you will retreat."

Only then did the crowd respectfully send the emperor off, and then retreated to go home one after another.

Liu Chengqi had just left the court when he got the news from the court. After listening to it, he couldn't help frowning.It is definitely not a good thing for these people to praise Mo Xiaochuan at this time.

Because Liu Chengqi understood Mo Zhiyuan's character, he must have doubts about Mo Xiaochuan at this time.In Mo Zhiyuan's ears, praise at this time might as well be a few words of scolding.

However, the matter has come to this point, even Liu Chengqi is powerless to change anything.Fortunately, Mo Zhiyuan will not do anything to Mo Xiaochuan just because of his little suspicion. There is still a lot of time for this matter to be resolved.

It depends on what Mo Xiaochuan himself does.

At noon, Mo Xiaochuan entered the city.In Shangjing, when Zhang Li heard that Mo Xiaochuan was coming back, he had already sent someone to clear the snow on the road to prepare to meet Mo Xiaochuan, which saved a lot of trouble for the people in Shangjing.

As soon as Mo Xiaochuan entered the city gate, he saw Zhang Li guarding there with the soldiers of the Tenth Battalion. Seeing him coming in, they all knelt down and saluted.This also includes Lu Shang, Lin Feng, Situ Xiong, Huang Ping...etc.

When Mo Xiaochuan saw this situation, he couldn't help but frowned. He didn't have time to say goodbye to his brothers, so he lowered his face and shouted softly: "Zhang Li, who asked you to bring someone here?"

Zhang Li stood up with a hippie smile, came to Mo Xiaochuan's side, and said, "My lord, I haven't seen you for a long time, and all of you are thinking about it. They all want to pick you up. This is because Mrs. Yu'er said that if we leave the city, we will definitely be disliked by you, so we arranged to be in the city. Madam must be anxiously waiting in the mansion right now, the prince should return home quickly."

"Nonsense." Mo Xiaochuan glared at him, and said: "I was ordered to go to the country of Yan this time. When I come back, I must first return to the emperor's order. How can I go home first? There are so many of you blocking the city gate. What are you going to do? Are there no rules in the Tenth Battalion? Hundreds of cavalry, if you say bring them out, you will bring them out. What does it look like. Take them back to me quickly..."

After finishing speaking, Mo Xiaochuan took the reins from Lin Feng, turned over and jumped on the horse, saying: "No one is allowed to follow." After finishing speaking, he urged the horse to go towards the palace.

Mo Xiaochuan's move made everyone present dumbfounded, and they didn't know what to do.Lu Shang patted his forehead on the side, and said: "We are all confused, the prince must see the emperor first when he comes back this time, and we should clean him up at night, or after the prince returns. Well, how can you block in front of the city gate now, make the situation so big, the prince wants to go home and change clothes before going. You see, the clothes of the prince are torn..."

Situ Xiong suddenly realized something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, is he going to meet the emperor dressed like that? Except for the big cloak on the outside, the clothes inside seem to be ragged, why didn't we ask him to change one?" Clothes again?"

Zhang Li was about to send someone to deliver clothes to Mo Xiaochuan, but Lin Feng stopped him, shook his head slightly, and said, "It might be better to let the prince go like this."

Several people turned back to look at Lin Feng suspiciously, but saw Lin Feng touching the beard that he had grown out of worrying during this period, with an inscrutable appearance, without explaining.

At this time, a crisp voice from behind shouted loudly: "Will you give way, I'm hungry, I want to go home for dinner."

Only then did everyone realize that it was not only Mo Xiaochuan who came back, but also this little ancestor, who couldn't help but smile. Mo Xiaochuan came back, and the knots in their hearts were untied.Zhang Li ordered Huang Ping to bring back the members of the Tenth Battalion of the Forbidden Army, and he, Lin Feng, Lu Shang, and Situ Xiong accompanied the little girl and the old Taoist priest to Chaochen County Palace.

Mo Xiaochuan rode a horse to the gate of the palace, only to realize that he hadn't changed his clothes, how could such tattered clothes wait for the elegant hall.However, since it's here, that's all.

Although the old queen gave him the right to enter and leave the palace freely, but this time he came back to return to his command, and did not use this power. Instead, after being informed, he stood quietly in front of the palace gate and waited. with.

About half an hour later, when Mo Xiaochuan was waiting a little anxiously, he saw a familiar figure walking towards him. After a closer look, it was Shi Kui. He knew that Shi Kui was Yingying's person, and his heart moved. Could it be that Yingying has something to say to herself and let Shi Kui pass it on?Just as he was about to go up to talk, he saw Eunuch Chen coming out leisurely. After seeing Mo Xiaochuan, he saluted and said, "The prince came back a bit late. The emperor has been waiting impatiently. Let the old slave come to greet the prince."

When Shi Kui saw Eunuch Chen approaching, he retreated back quietly. Mo Xiaochuan couldn't walk towards him anymore, so he cupped his fists and said, "Don't come here without any problems, Eunuch Chen."

"Thanks to the prince, our family did not die in the country of Yan." Eunuch Chen said nonchalantly.

Mo Xiaochuan said with a smile: "That's it, next time Eunuch Chen won't delay this king's blessing, I'm afraid that Eunuch Chen's blessing will be lost if he is so delayed by Eunuch Chen."

Eunuch Chen coughed a few times, and wanted to say something else, but suddenly thought that today is not the time to argue with Mo Xiaochuan, so he said: "Your Majesty is still so eloquent. However, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time, we still Go to see His Majesty first. If the old servant talks too much with the prince here and makes His Majesty wait anxiously, it will be bad."

Mo Xiaochuan nodded, raised his hand lightly, and said, "Then, I will ask my father-in-law to lead the way."

Eunuch Chen was walking in front, and glanced back at Mo Xiaochuan's tattered clothes exposed under his cloak, slightly curled his mouth, and said, "My lord really worked hard this time."

"Not as happy as my father-in-law." Mo Xiaochuan replied.

The conversation between the two of them was always unpleasant, so Eunuch Chen simply shut up.

Seeing that Eunuch Chen stopped talking, Mo Xiaochuan looked left and right, trying to find Yingying's figure. Logically speaking, Yingying should know that she is back, and even if it is inconvenient for her to come to see him, she should Where will I hide and look out.After looking around for a while, he didn't find Yingying, so he put his hopes on the small building in her bedroom, but when he looked there, he was disappointed again.

The small window that he used to open every time he entered the palace was now tightly closed.The garden in front of the former bedroom has also become withered and covered with snow.

For some reason, Mo Xiaochuan felt lost, and he hurriedly comforted himself, maybe Yingying didn't get the news of his return, or, she was called by her aunt and didn't have time to come, the window of the small building was not opened because today It was snowing and the weather was a little cold.

He was thinking like this, walking unknowingly, only hearing Eunuch Chen's soft voice, saying: "My lord, we're here."

Hearing Mr. Chen's voice, Mo Xiaochuan raised his head, but he was already standing in front of the door of the imperial study. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, opened them again, looked at the door of the imperial study, and bowed to salute. , Said: "Your Majesty, fortunately, Mo Xiaochuan did not disgrace his life, and returned to his life."
