The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 122 Explained
Mu Xu thought for a while, and told the truth, "I was originally the son of a vassal prince, and I came to the capital as a hostage. But because of my mother's relationship, my uncle trusts me a lot. Now our relationship is even more serious. Mo Ni, if I continue to hold an important position in the court, those censors will still make a fuss."

Tu Zhen snorted coldly, "I am the emperor, as long as I ignore them, what can they do?"

Seeing that he was so childish, Mu Xu persuaded him earnestly, "Don't forget, there is still Prince Yizhong in Ping'an Prefecture, and he must be waiting for an opportunity at this time. So for you, the most urgent task is to control the inside and outside of the court. , How can you break away from those ministers because of such a small matter like me?"

Hearing Mu Xu talk about Tu Yu, Tu Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "One day, I will personally conquer and capture him in front of my father's throne, and make him pay for what he has done." She said with embarrassment, "But in this way, wouldn't it be too wronged cousin."

"What's wrong with that, I don't like to be busy with those things every day." Mu Xu smiled, "Besides, even if you don't work in the court, if your cousin asks me for something, just pass me into the palace, that's more convenient gone."

Tu Zhen thought for a while, and felt that what he said was reasonable, but he still said, "I will discuss with the emperor's grandfather and queen mother about the position of the commander of the Longxiang Army. As for the commander of the Embroidered Clothes Guard, do you have any opinions?"

Mu Xu knew that he was asking himself sincerely, so he was not hypocritical, so he recommended, "The post of commander can be replaced by Zhang Cheng, who has been in Xiuyiwei for many years, and he is stable, so there should be no problem. "

After he finished speaking, he still wanted to talk about some of Zhang Cheng's advantages, but Tu Zhen waved his hand, "Okay, Cousin Dekong has arranged the official position in the Embroidery Guard properly, just give me a job offer, and I will do it too." I'm too lazy to listen to this." He wanted to say something more, but when he saw Zhao Le trotting over, he frowned immediately, "What's wrong?"

Looking at the two sitting side by side on the steps, Zhao Le had a deeper understanding of Mu Xu's position in the emperor's heart. He bowed to Tu Zhen, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager asked you to go to Fengzao Palace."

Tu Zhen stood up, patted his buttocks, and was just about to say goodbye to Mu Xu, when he suddenly remembered that Mu Xu hadn't been out of the palace for many days, so he said, "Cousin, you should go back and rest for a few days, or you won't know the old lady Why are you worried about me?"

Mu Xu didn't refuse either, and nodded in agreement, "That's fine, anyway, since His Majesty has succeeded to the throne, I'm not afraid of any minor disturbances."

Seeing that Mu Xu agreed immediately, Tu Zhen immediately became happy, said goodbye to Mu Xu, and took Zhao Le away.

Mu Xu waited for him to leave, first went to explain to his subordinates, and told them not to slack off, then left the palace and rode towards his own mansion.

Mu Xu, who hadn't seen him for many days, returned home, and the house was full of excitement. Mu Tong circled around his brother, refusing to leave for a moment. He insisted on telling him about the experiences of these days, so Mu Xu could only deal with her. While talking to grandma.

In the end, it was Concubine Zhang who felt sorry for her grandson, and held Mu Tong back, telling Mu Xu to go back and wash up before taking a good rest.

Only then did Mu Xu get rid of his sister and went back to his yard.After taking a bath under Yinglian's service, I was about to go to the bedroom to rest when I saw Mei Jian walking over with a letter, "My lord, this is a letter from the servants of the Lin family the day before yesterday, saying that Miss Lin gave it to you." of."

Mu Xu was a little strange when he heard the words. You must know that Daiyu has always been very reserved, and this is the first time writing to him.He took the letter, waved Mei Jian down, then opened the letter and read it.Seeing this, he frowned, because Daiyu said one thing in the letter, Jiamu went to her five days ago and asked her to ask him for help to intercede for Jia Yuanchun.Daiyu didn't agree directly with Jia Mu, but only said that she would ask his opinion.

Mu Xu put down the letter, thought for a while, and wrote back to Daiyu first, telling her that he knew about the matter, and if he had the opportunity, he would say a few words for Jia Yuanchun. As for the result, he didn't dare ensure.

He sealed the envelope, called Yang An, and told him to send someone to deliver the letter to Lin's mansion. He suddenly remembered the matter of the embroidered clothes and guards, so he called Yang An again, and told him to let Zhang Cheng, Feng Ziying, Liu Xianglian, and Jia Lian come tomorrow. meet him.

Having nothing to say all night, Mu Xu slept at home and felt refreshed in the morning.He first practiced some exercises, and then had breakfast with his grandmother and younger sister.Not long after, someone came to report, and Zhang Cheng and the others came.

Mu Xu came to the outer study room, greeted the four of them, and asked them to sit down.Seeing Liu Xianglian's smiling face, he couldn't help joking, "Look at Brother Liu, it seems that you've had a good time these days."

Feng Ziying also smiled and added, "My lord is right. Brother Liu has been very different since he got married. I asked him out for drinks a few times, but he refused in every possible way. After going to office every day, he He rushed home and refused to stay outside for a moment. Tsk tsk, I didn't realize before that brother Liu is still a family member." Then he said to Jia Lian, "Second brother Lian, you don't care about your brother-in-law. "

"It's fine, why is it talking about me again? I can't control this matter." Jia Lian hurriedly waved back.

Liu Xianglian's face was reddened by the two people's words, and she was speechless for a long while.Several people chatted and laughed for a while, before Mu Xu said, "Okay, no more joking, I called you here to talk about business." Immediately, he told several people that he was about to step down as the commander of the Embroidered Guards.

A few people were anxious when they heard it. You must know that the Embroidery Guard can be rebuilt, but it is all thanks to Mu Xu's work. If he is gone, what will happen to the Embroidery Guard?

Mu Xu raised his hand to stop a few people from talking, and explained to them, "My identity is a bit embarrassing. You didn't see it in the palace yesterday. Those Wen Palaces can't wait to attack me. I will be the commander again." If not, those people will have to trouble me every day."

After hearing what he said, except for Zhang Cheng, the rest of the people scolded those literati for meddling in their own business.It was Mu Xu who saw Zhang Cheng's embarrassment, and quickly stopped them, "Okay, in the court, civil and military confrontation, so it's fine to talk about those civil officials, why did it involve the literati."

After all, Feng Ziying was shrewd. Seeing Zhang Cheng's expression, he immediately realized that he and the others also scolded Zhang Cheng. You must know that Zhang Cheng was also born as a scholar.So he hurriedly apologized to him, "Don't blame Mr. Zhang, we are scolding those civil servants, not you." Jia Lian and Liu Xianglian also came back and apologized to Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng shook his head quickly, "What are you doing? I thought of something else, which has nothing to do with you." Then he explained with a wry smile, "What kind of literati am I? Embroidered Yiwei, whoever didn’t call me a court eagle dog in the past, cut off contact with me long ago.”

"Come on, it's a disappointment to say that. You must know that those literati have always been like this. They are officials to plead for the people, while others are officials to become eagles and dogs." Mu Xu tried to persuade,
"We still say that the business is important. Now that the Embroidery Guard is on the right track, I don't care if I have it or not. And His Majesty also allowed me to recommend officials, so you don't have to worry. What happened before will be what happened afterwards. If there is a solution It’s not difficult, you can come to me, but it’s best to do it in private, and you can’t be honest.”

The eyes of the four people brightened when they heard the words, and they all remembered in their hearts that the relationship between their lord and the new emperor is not ordinary.In the end, Zhang Cheng asked, "Then the lord called us today, is it because he wants to readjust his position?"

Mu Xu nodded approvingly, then he glanced at several people, and said seriously, "Everyone is our own, even if I resign, I have to plan for you in advance. So I recommended Zhang Cheng as the successor commander to His Majesty, do you have any ideas?" Opinion?"

Zhang Cheng quickly wanted to decline, but Mu Xu stopped him with his eyes.As for Feng Ziying and the other three, they all expressed no opinion. Of the three of them, only Feng Ziying had some thoughts in his heart, but he also understood Mu Xu's painstaking efforts. His qualifications were too low, and if he rashly ascended to a high position, it might not be a good thing for him.
