Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 239
When the landlord of the imperial study was arguing in the Nuan Pavilion, Mo Xuan, who was recalled by the emperor, was guarding the door with a sword.In addition, the imperial guard closest to Dongnuange was twenty steps away.If the imperial guards twenty paces away couldn't hear what was arguing in the East Nuan Pavilion, then Mo Xuan who was standing in front of the East Nuan Pavilion could undoubtedly hear it very clearly.

When the emperor asked, "What's your opinion on the Grand Scholars?", Mo Xuan's heart tightened. After all, Huang Jiyun was just a civil servant, not a general!

However, Mo Xuan underestimated Huang Jiyun after all, he was not only a bachelor, but also a person who was introduced by the emperor as a confidant and traveled the world, so he seemed bohemian, but he was also a person who cared about the world.Otherwise, in order to support the current emperor, he would not have resigned from office and traveled around the world to make friends with capable and well-educated people.

Huang Jiyun held the imperial wat, bowed and saluted: "The ancestors once said: those who commit a strong man will be punished even if they are far away! Therefore, we created a myth of a powerful era. Today, we can also be the prosperity of the heaven/dynasty and the return of the people. Unleash your weapons and conquer the invading strong slaves! Please make an order!" Huang Jiyun bowed to the end after finishing speaking.

Those who had been arguing endlessly in the court hall had calmed down at this moment, no matter how much they thought about it, they kept silent at this moment, waiting for the emperor to make a final decision.And Mo Xuan's blood boiled when he heard it outside the door.

The emperor looked at Huang Jiyun with a slight smile, but he did not express his attitude. Instead, he glanced majestically at the few civil and military ministers present. Most of the people who can be summoned today are those who have certain influence in the court. The emperor Need to see their attitude.

Needless to say, the generals of Fuyuan are naturally ecstatic at the moment, looking at the emperor with full expectations, while the ministers of the Ministry of War, at this moment, some people are carefully observing the emperor's expression and trying to figure out the sacred heart; some are bowing their heads and thinking about countermeasures ;Only the Minister of the Ministry of War himself, after a little thought, bowed and saluted: "I am stupid, please punish me!"

Obviously, there are no fools who can become Minister of the Ministry of War. Rather than saying that Huang Jiyun was speaking just now, it is better to say that Huang Jiyun is the voice of the Holy Majesty.This is what the Holy One meant!Following the Minister of War's statement, all of them, except for a few of the emperor's old subordinates when he was the fourth prince, all expressed their agreement and asked the emperor to issue an order to send troops.

But the emperor was still not in a hurry to make a statement at this time, but looked at the Hubu Shangshu who stood aside and kept silent, this was also the emperor's old subordinate back then.

Minister of the Ministry of Households pondered for a moment and then came out and said: "The Ministry of Households this year removes the appropriations from various places. If there are no other accidents, there will be a surplus. The imperial court will be able to build new water conservancy projects in the coming year. However, this surplus is not enough to support the Northwest War. And Once the south is not settled, and the northwest begins to fight again, I'm afraid that the treasury... will be empty again!" After the Hubu Minister finished speaking, he also bowed to the end.

As a result, there was a stalemate again.But at this time, it was a confrontation between civil servants and military generals.Huang Jiyun understood that this was what the emperor wanted.With civil servants and military generals joining forces, the emperor might feel uneasy, right?
But Mo Xuan didn't think about it so much. Outside the door, his blood was boiling first, and then his passion was surging, but who knew that the Minister of the Household Department poured a basin of cold water on him.Mo Xuan really wanted to go in and express a few opinions, but he was not impulsive after all. He knew that he was not qualified to stand inside and discuss.

No one expected that the debate inside would be finally ended by the seventh prince, Prince Yi, standing up.Prince Yi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly came out to ask for a fight. Not to mention the civil and military officials, even the emperor didn't expect it, but the emperor finally showed his first smile since summoning these civil and military ministers into the palace to discuss matters today.

The emperor's eyes were filled with relief, affirmation, and encouragement.The emperor naturally wanted to send troops to quell the chaos and resist foreign enemies.But who will lead the army is the key. If there is no suitable candidate, the emperor is willing to be reluctant.After all, the northwest is no better than the south, at least in the emperor's heart, the two places are different.

At least in the south, there is still the sea across, and the number of people who can attack is limited, and a small number of people entering the Tian/Chao mainland is really insignificant for the entire court, and it cannot shake the foundation of the country, or it cannot affect the imperial power .But the northwest will be completely different. It is likely that a large number of foreigners invaded the Central Plains and set off wars everywhere.

The Seventh Prince, Prince Yi, is naturally the emperor's most assured candidate. He is willing to stand up and ask for orders. The emperor is naturally happy, and many problems will no longer be problems.

Hearing that Dongnuange finally decided to send troops to the northwest, Mo Xuan was excited.After the ministers took their orders and left, Mo Xuan couldn't help the excitement in his heart, and immediately went to see the emperor.

The emperor looked at Mo Xuan, whose face was flushed with excitement, and felt a little headache.Speaking of which, Mo Xuan was the emperor's nephew who grew up under the watchful eye, so he naturally trusted him in his heart and cultivated it intentionally.After all, the relationship between Mo Xuan and Duke Cheng'en's mansion is well known.In this way, there is no need to worry about controlling the imperial power in the future because of Mo Xuan's relationship.

Moreover, Mo Xuan is not a member of the royal family, so there is no need to worry about his attention in the name of imperial power.However, Mo Xuan is only eighteen or nineteen years old, not a weak crown.And there is no war experience, how can the emperor feel relieved?Mo Xuan is the humerus minister he trained for his son!

For a moment the emperor frowned and looked at Mo Xuan hesitating, but Mo Xuan seemed to be determined, unable to kneel for a long time, lowering his head and not looking at the emperor's expression, which made the emperor very dumbfounded.

In the end, it was the first time for Mo Xuan to take the queen's route, or even the prince's route, and got a chance to be a pioneer.The emperor ordered him to follow the seventh prince, Prince Yi, and set off with the army five days later.

Although Mo Xuan was busy with this matter, he did not forget the anniversary of Lin Ruhai's death. The next morning, as soon as the city gate opened, Mo Xuan rode his horse out of the city to Daiyu's village.Coincidentally, except for Yingchun and Yunbaozhou, who never came because of the taboo, the others were all the same as yesterday, no less than one.

But Huang Jiyun was obviously busy with the expedition and came here very late.Huang Jiyun was very worried when he learned from the emperor that Mo Xuan was about to go to war.After all, he roughly guessed that the emperor's plan for Daiyu, even from Huang Jiyun's point of view, he did not agree with.Therefore, Huang Jiyun was extremely dissatisfied with Mo Xuan's initiative to ask for an expedition.

But Mo Xuan's words made Huang Jiyun suddenly feel for the first time that the emperor might also really love Daiyu. Thinking of this, Huang Jiyun was in a trance for a moment, only to hear Mo Xuan shyly say: "I have to earn money by myself. Back to the future, isn't it? You can't stay in the Imperial Guard forever. Ha ha."

Seeing this, Huang Jiyun couldn't say anything more. It's better to have an idea and be willing to make progress than relying on Zumeng to make a living, right?I had no choice but to nod and said: "Pay attention to your own safety, we are all waiting for you, and you will win and triumph as soon as possible!"

Mo Xuan grinned, and after paying homage to Lin Ruhai, he hurried back to the city to prepare for the expedition.What he didn't know was that Hong Shi heard the whole conversation between him and Huang Jiyun. At that time, Hong Shi was standing at a corner not far away, but neither of them thought that there would be someone listening to the corner in Daiyu's village. , Moreover, it is not a secret matter, so I did not take precautions.

Looking at the back of Mo Xuan going away, Hong Shi smiled secretly in his heart: This is really God helping me!Even the most powerful competitor is gone... Thinking of this, Hong Shi can't wait to laugh, but unfortunately, this is Daiyu's Zhuangzi, the territory of the Lin family.

After everyone worshiped Lin Ruhai in the evening, Fang left one after another. After returning to the palace, he went to Concubine Hou's courtyard with a burst of excitement, and talked about Mo Xuan's upcoming expedition.Concubine Hou was not as excited as Hong Shi imagined, but sneered and said: "Can I find out who he is going out with?"

Hong Shi was taken aback for a moment, and instantly understood what Concubine Hou meant, and her face couldn't help but gloomy. After thinking for a while, she said: "No matter who you go with, just a little bit, that Lin girl is about to show her filial piety, and the concubine mother's action is very good." Hurry up, this matter must be settled before the class teacher returns to court. Not to mention anything else, Huang Jiyun alone is a big help."

Concubine Hou saw that Hongshi had already made up her mind, so she nodded, pulled Hongshi to sit next to her, and said with a smile: "Since I have thought about it in my mind, then mother and concubine should cooperate with you. I think she is just a righteous daughter." The lord will not refute my face just because of this little matter, and besides, Shier is still married to the Ming matchmaker, which is already giving her great face!" Hearing Hou Fangfei's assurance, Hong Shi was naturally full of ambition.

At this time, Princess Wujun also learned that Mo Xuan was going to go to the Northwest with the army, but because the Empress Dowager fought for Mo Xuan, she didn't want to say anything, but she just said a few more words, for the sake of He's just packing up.

Before the expedition, Mo Xuan went back to Duke Cheng's mansion. Although Duke Cheng didn't want to see this son, he was his own son and was highly regarded by the Holy One, so Duke Cheng still explained to him in the study for a long time. It was sent out.

Mrs. Cheng Engong was not like that. Although her son didn't like Mo Xuan, she was still very kind to him, at least on the surface.Her son Mo Ang made good friends with the ex-wife's eldest son Mo An, and she herself wooed Mo Xuan, although the effect was not as good as his son's.

At this moment when Mo Xuan said that he was going to go to war, she tried her best to show a loving mother's appearance, preparing here and there for Mo Xuan, and Mo An was very dissatisfied, but she couldn't say anything, but the anger in her heart was burning secretly .

Mo Xuan stayed in Duke Cheng's Mansion for one day, and went to Prince Wu's Mansion the next day.Of course, it's just going back to rest, and most of the time they are in the Ministry of War or Prince Yi's Mansion.

Hongshi naturally saw all this in his eyes, secretly looking forward to Mo Xuan's early departure, until the day before departure, something happened that made Hongshi furious.

The day before departure, Mo Xuan led a cage to the outside of the city, and reported that Mo Xuan went to Daiyu's Zhuangzi with his eyeliner.And the steward named Lin De in Daiyu Zhuangzi actually let Mo Xuan in!Hongshi secretly thought in his heart: Wait until the future, the master will not abolish you, you dog slave!

What Hongshi didn't know was that what Mo Xuan carried was not a cage, but a parrot stand, and another parrot, which he asked Daiyu to take care of.

And Daiyu asked Lin De to invite Mo Xuan into the manor because she knew that Mo Xuan was going to the northwest. Counting the days, the snow had already started to fall in the northwest. At least this winter, Mo Xuan and the others were going to stay in the northwest. Mo Xuan was invited into the manor so that he could tell him two things.

Instead of asking Mo Xuan to go to the garden, Daiyu came to the front yard in person and handed over the two blueprints in her hand to Mo Xuan. Seeing Mo Xuan's puzzled face, Daiyu explained with a smile: "These two blueprints , which are the structural diagram and the overall diagram of the sled respectively."

After finishing speaking, Daiyu smiled and said: "I heard from the master that the Seventh Prince led the army to the northwest to defend against foreign enemies. Yu'er can't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but she still wants to do her best. This sledge is very good for pulling goods or transporting people in the snow. It's convenient, maybe it can be used, but if Brother Mo agrees to take it, Yu'er will take care of the parrot for you, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Mo Xuan's eyes lit up. Regarding Daiyu's various blueprints, Mo Xuan also learned about them by accident, but they were all used for the navy and navy. Mo Xuan never thought that Daiyu could still Taking out the blueprints that benefit the Northwest Snowfield, he said happily, "Then it's settled! In other words, I took advantage of you."

After eating a cup of tea, Mo Xuan left in a hurry. He had to present the blueprint to the Holy Majesty and the Seventh Prince Yi Prince before departure.Now that the business has been finished, Daiyu doesn't stay.They didn't even see them off in person, but before Mo Xuan went out, he said softly: "Take care all the way!" Mo Xuan nodded and left.
