Chapter 267

Just because Wei Quan benefited the most from Beijing, in the eyes of Emperor Wu, this son became more and more a threat to the throne.The eldest son of the middle palace has a higher status than other princes.Coupled with the backing of the Zhao family, the largest clan in the Wei state, Emperor Wu was more concerned about the way the court ministers followed suit.

If an emperor cannot control his subjects, he will lose trust in these people.

In such a situation, in front of others, Emperor Wu still had great trust and love for Wei Quan.But intentionally or unintentionally, he also began to gradually pay attention to other princes.

Wei Wuzhen wouldn't think about it, a son who kept him in the dark, a prince who betrayed him and disturbed his world, a son who became his threat, a person like Emperor Wu would never choose understanding.

Therefore, the best candidates are nothing less than three: Wei Shanzhi, Wei Shi, and Wei Yin.

Wei Shanzhi...

When Emperor Wu thought of him, he subconsciously wanted to shake his head.After thinking about it, although this son was born of the unloved concubine Li, Emperor Wu didn't pay much attention to it all these years, but except for the embarrassment at the palace banquet, the few errands he entrusted to Wei Shanzhi before, he did everything. Very beautiful.During the war in the north, all the soldiers also praised Wei Shanzhi, this son still has some abilities!

But...whether the matter of the palace banquet was framed by someone or he was confused, it undoubtedly proved that Wei Shanzhi was not the best candidate.

Emperor Wu hesitated, and set his eyes on Wei Shi and Wei Yin's two sons.

Wei Yin, the youngest among the grown-up princes, had just had his crowning ceremony last year.In fact, but in terms of appearance, Wei Yin is the child who most resembles Emperor Wu, especially when he is silent, it really looks like it was printed from the same mold.Emperor Wu liked Wei Yin very much in his heart, but when it came to entrusting Jiangshan... Emperor Wu shook his head, among other things, he was really afraid that if Wei Yin was given the throne, he would marry himself a male queen and let Li The ancestors pointed at their noses under the spring and scolded!

After many calculations, Wei Shi was the most suitable person.

He likes Wei Shi the most on weekdays, and he is flexible, but he has little interest in this world.However, this can also be cultivated, and when he realizes the value of rights, he will have the mind to fight for the top.Hobbies, Wei Shi is not as absurd as Wei Yin. It is normal for men to like beauties and wine. With Wei Shi's temperament, he is not worried that Wei Shi will be like Xia Jie and Shang Zhou. As dizzy and senseless.

Now that a decision has been made, Emperor Wu will naturally plan actively, and the biggest change will start from the court.

In the past, when Wei Shi wanted to go to court, he would go to court, and he never asked, but since Wei Wuzhen fell, he began to force Wei Shi to go to court on time.

Emperor Wu is the emperor, in order to avoid traces, the method he used is very simple.Every day when he goes to court, he will ask: "When is it, why don't you come to court?"

After the emperor asked, the doctor Yushi naturally went to mention Wei Shi.If Wei Shi does not arrive one day, the threshold of Prince Yu's Mansion will be trampled in the afternoon, forcing Wei Shi to promise to go early on time, and the visit will not be given up.Once or twice, Wei Shi was also afraid, and vaguely guessed why in his heart, he went to the court in a serious manner.

In the past, when Wei Shi went to court, he often yawned and ignored the speeches of court officials.In order to correct his fault, Emperor Wu really worked hard.

One morning, when he entered the hall, he had a gloomy face. After making everyone feel insecure, he found another problem and called Wei Shi to answer.Wei Shiben maintained his temper of not saying a word in the government, so naturally he didn't bother to explain.Emperor Wu immediately used this as an excuse to challenge Wei Shi, saying that he was punishing him for being perfunctory. In the future, when he went to court, the Zhongshu official would not have to wait, and gave Wei Shi pen, ink, paper and inkstone to record all the main points of everyone's speech.

This was a pain for Wei Shi, he hated writing those boring documents the most, and was afraid that Emperor Wu would blame him, so he had to obediently listen to the lectures.

After seven or eight days, Wei Shi pretended to be stunned, and Emperor Wu accepted the order and allowed Wei Shi to return to his position.

Emperor Wu's attitude towards Wei Quan didn't change, he even became closer on the surface, Wei Quan naturally didn't notice it, seeing Wei Shi being made listless every day, he felt sympathetic and advised Wei Shi to think about it.

Just when Wei Shi started to make his mark in the court, the things that Mu Yunge told Tang Linyi to investigate also gradually echoed.

"Linju is in Southern Chu." Tang Linyi's Feige Biography only had two short lines, the first line contained six characters, and the second line contained a specific address.

Holding the letter, Mu Yunge almost jumped up.But she held back, Lin Juzheng was fine, it was too important to her.As long as Lin Juzheng is alive, Nangong Jin's heart will be alive!

"Prepare the car, I'm going to the princess' mansion." Mu Yunge put the letter in his arms and told Peixin.

Nangong Jin didn't know she was coming, and was discussing military affairs with the soldiers in the side hall.Nangong Jin already recognized her as a military adviser, and she did not shy away from her in anything, and directly arranged her behind the screen in the side hall, as an observer.

Seeing that the weather was getting colder, many soldiers complained that the clothing materials given by the court were too thin to keep warm, and several of them fell ill due to frostbite at the beginning of this month alone.News reports from the northwest also said that the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled in the army have become sicker since autumn. Recently, there have been two snowfalls in succession, and some of them have froze to death.

These are things that require money. Nangong Jin has nothing to do if the imperial court does not allocate money. While urging the Ministry of War to ask for money, he writes back to the Northwest, asking the generals there to embezzle their monthly salaries first, so as to replenish the equipment for the soldiers.When the monthly salary is settled next month, the Ministry of War will make up for the embezzlement.

Another thing is more important.

The news of Nangong Jin's return to the court finally leaked to Chimeng, and the spy stationed in Chimeng sent back the news, saying that Chimeng's country was about to move, and obviously there would be a battle at any time.

Nangong Jin summoned all his subordinates this time to discuss this matter.

Everyone quarreled and had no choice but to formulate a middle-of-the-road plan in the end.Strengthen defense and actively train troops to prepare for emergencies.Lieutenant General Liu Yuan prepared a memorial to be submitted to the Ministry of War and Emperor Wu, explaining the general's situation analysis and countermeasures, and waiting for Emperor Wu to give his opinion after reading it.

After finally finishing the meeting, Nangong Jin let out a long sigh of relief, and accompanied Mu Yunge out of the side hall.

Mu Yunge handed the note in her hand to Nangong Jin. After she read it, all the blood on her lips faded away, leaving only a piece of innocence. She subconsciously bit her lower lip and said in a low voice, "Nangong Jin Chu, why is Juzheng in Southern Chu?"

"I don't know much about the inside story. But since there were other people who came back with Second Young Master Lin that day, maybe it was this strange person who took Second Young Master Lin away." Mu Yunge said with a smile: " It is not easy for me to find out these things, and since I have never met him, I have no way of guessing his intentions."

"I'm so happy and confused." Nangong Jin put away the note she handed over, her eyes were lost, and she smiled faintly after a long time: "No matter who he is with now, as long as he is still alive, I will be happy."

"I see who he is with now, and it may not be because of his will." Mu Yunge shook his head and sighed.

If it is really voluntary, why has there been no news at all these years?

Nangong Jin's pretty face was slightly cold, and she said in a deep voice: "If he didn't stay in Nanchu voluntarily, even if he chased him to the ends of the earth, I would definitely bring him back."

But how to take it is the problem.

Nangong Jin is the princess of the first rank, a female general of the court, and her status is very noble.In Dawei, all three-year-olds knew her, and the secretive work of Nanchu, who was mostly hidden, had already spread her portrait all over the country.As long as Nangong Jin sets foot on the land of Nanchu, the future will be bleak and dangerous. None of them can afford this responsibility.

However, if Nangong Jin didn't go, who would recognize the Second Young Master Lin?

The two discussed and discussed, and both denied several alternative candidates, and in the end both had advantages and disadvantages.

Nangong Jin's eyes dimmed, and she was blankly holding the paper.People often say that being close to home is timid, and she has a unique experience today.

Suddenly, she looked up at Mu Yunge, her eyes lit up.

She couldn't trust anyone else, but she could trust Mu Yunge.The woman in front of her is Bingxue smart, with a pure heart, with her exquisite heart, what is there that she can't do?
Mu Yunge is a third-rank Zhenshu, the daughter of the Mu family's concubine. She first came to the capital and doesn't know many people. It is really suitable for her to go to Nanchu!
Nangong Jin clenched Mu Yunge's hand tightly, her eyes filled with pleading and anticipation.This kind of Nangong Jin couldn't refuse. It's not surprising that Mu Yunge also made such an idea on the way here.She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she said, "Okay, I will try my best, but Nangong, if I can't bring back Second Young Master Lin, you have to live happily."

After the matter settled down, Mu Yunge quickly set off with the red clothes.

At this time, there was only a little more than a month before Xiao's delivery date, and they could not delay for a moment, so they stopped taking the carriage along the way and changed horses at the post station, so fast and fast, they arrived on the land of Chu State in less than three days.

Standing in a familiar place, Mu Yunge looked at the boundary tablet between Chilin County and Dawei, and only confusion remained in his heart.

Everything in the previous life flashed before her eyes, being bullied, hunted down, and Peiying beaten to death seemed like yesterday!
Fortunately, there wasn't much time, so she couldn't remember much, so she left the border of Chilin County and entered Luhu County on the border of Southern Chu.Stepping into the city gate, the familiar scenery and unfamiliar people, Hong Yi and her reined in the horse and stood at the gate, both sighed.

At this moment, there was a cloud of dust in the rear, and someone came quickly, and the dust raised by the horse's hooves set off thick yellow sand behind him, the back was blurred, and pedestrians gave way.The horse came very fast, and it was in front of us in a blink of an eye. When the two soldiers guarding the city saw the man on the horse, they clasped their fists together and saluted, and shouted respectfully: "His Highness Ninth Prince, thousand years old, thousand years old!"

"No." Immediately it was a high-spirited young man who reined in his horse and glanced at the soldiers, then quickly rode away.

Ninth Highness?Isn't that exactly the person I'm looking for?
Mu Yunge shouted: "Red clothes, follow!" He hurriedly urged the horse to run, and chased the young man called His Highness Ninth Prince, and ran towards the city of Luzhen County.

Remarks: I came back late today, sorry, even later...
