The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 214 Attention, the heroine haunts

When the little maid pushed the car door open, she saw a young girl sitting on the east side of the car. She looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a pink dress with wide sleeves sprinkled with gold, and a silver belt tied around her thin waist. .Her long black hair was combed neatly, and a red gold peacock was swaying in her hair, reflecting her skin whiter than snow.A pair of beautiful almond eyes are like meteors passing by like mirror lake water, rippling with intoxicating charm.

Such a suffocatingly beautiful girl, like an untouchable fairy, seems to be independent from the world, she is the second young lady of the Dianxi Mu family mentioned by the two officers earlier, her boudoir name is Zhiqing.

When she saw the man in white outside the car, she immediately smiled, showing a gentle and amiable arrogance, "Brother, you are back."

"Well, Yale said you were looking for me? What's the matter?" Mu Jing also smiled, stepped into the car, and sat opposite Mu Zhiqing.

Mu Zhiqing signaled the maid to close the car door, then turned her head and asked softly, "Brother, did you go to Su Guansheng's place just now?"

"Ah, yes." Mu Jing smiled heartily, "Lord Su and Ding Dutang have a good relationship, so I would like to ask him to send troops to Yunnan from Guangxi, and Guangxi and Yunnan are close at hand. Wouldn't it be more effective with half the effort?"

"Brother, I think this is inappropriate." Mu Zhiqing shook her head and said seriously.

"Oh, what's wrong?" Mu Jing asked.

Mu Zhiqing said softly: "Brother, it is a very confidential matter for us to invite troops into Fujing. If you are so fanatical, if someone spreads it to Sha Dingzhou, there is no hope of recruiting soldiers to put down the rebellion. In great trouble."

Although Mu Jing is the legitimate son of Lijiang chieftain Mu's family, he doesn't seem to have the slightest temper at the moment.His second sister was extremely intelligent since she was a child, and she has her own unique views on major issues, even her father would often discuss with her when encountering problems.

Mu Jing's lips moved, and he said: "I can save myself. I act cautiously, and no one else will know."

Mu Zhiqing persuaded again: "Brother, if we bring Zhao Yinxuan Zhao Zongbing's Yunnan Army back to Yunnan, it will be a great achievement, and it is better not to have side effects."

Seeing that Mu Jing still showed disapproval, she said softly, "Brother, if you have a relationship with Su Guansheng now, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing."

"Oh? Why?" Mu Jing asked in surprise, "Lord Su leads the household department with the qualifications of a great scholar, and also trains the Xinwei army to defeat captives. It can be said that he is both civil and military. He is the most popular person in the court." He looked at it The younger sister took a look, "If he can say a few words in the court, the danger of Duke Qian may be solved immediately."

"Brother, do you know who this Su Guansheng belongs to?"

"Whose person?" Mu Jing rubbed his nose, "He must belong to the imperial court."

"He is a man who assists the king." Mu Zhiqing still said patiently, "The current situation in the court seems to be calm on the surface, because there is a captured enemy ahead, and the balance of power is still barely maintained.

"The Assistant King used to be the supervisor of the country, and until the new emperor ascended the throne, he still clings to the power, the meaning is very clear.

"Although the empress dowager relies heavily on the Tang king to assist the government, how can she continue to do so in her heart? She has not gained real power in the court, but she has the opportunity to issue an order on behalf of the king. She must be gathering strength to regain power in the court."

"Just wait for the enemy to retreat, and the assistant king and the empress dowager will definitely compete. At that time, Fujing will not escape a bloody storm.

"These two parties are either the royal family or the clan. At this time, it is difficult to predict which is stronger. But for the courtiers, if they are on the wrong team, it will be a disaster!
"Many powerful chieftains in Yunnan are staring at our Mu family, waiting for us to make mistakes and using excuses to make mistakes. Big brother is now stirring up chaos in the court, isn't it just giving others a handle?"

If you say that this Mu Zhiqing has extraordinary knowledge, unlike later generations, you can search everything on Baidu.Her family is in the western border of Yunnan, and she only heard a few words about the affairs of the court.She was able to weave these trivial information together to outline the deep political struggle situation in Tianxing Mansion.

Mu Jing nodded slowly with a solemn expression, he entered Fujing this time to ask for troops from the imperial court, in fact to help Prince Mu's mansion to quell the chaos.But I didn't expect that there would be such an undercurrent of swords, lights and swords in the hall, and a little carelessness would completely destroy the Mu family's foundation!

He suddenly got excited and said anxiously: "I just gave Su Guansheng quite a lot of gold and jade, the price is more than 4000 taels, it wouldn't be bad if someone else found out about it!"

An anxious look flashed across Mu Zhiqing's face, "I'm afraid that Su Guansheng will spread the word and tie our Mu family to the assistant king."

She thought for a while, and said to Mu Jing: "Don't worry, big brother, it's not difficult to expose this matter if you give up some money."

"Oh, how to do it?"

"After we enter Tianxing Mansion, elder brother will give heavy gifts according to the rank of the officials in the court." Mu Zhiqing instructed him, "It only makes people think that you are aimless and only want to form a good relationship. In this way, the things given to Su Guansheng will not be special."

Mu Jing nodded immediately when he heard the words, "Okay, that's the only way to do it now." His Mu family has been running Lijiang for hundreds of years, and there is no shortage of money. He brought 10,000+ taels of silver with him when he came to Fujing this time.

At the end of last year, Shadingzhou, the chieftain of Yunnan, rebelled, and Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qian, led other chieftains loyal to the court to fight against it.Unexpectedly, Sha Dingzhou was fully prepared for the battle, and after a series of victories, he seized a large area of ​​Yunnan and pinned down Mu Tianbo's men and horses in Chuxiong.

On the other hand, Sha Dingzhou called for the thief to catch the thief, falsely accusing Duke Qian of rebellion, and asked the court to authorize him to "put down the rebellion."Although Lijiang Mu's chieftain secretly supported Mu Wangfu, he had to pretend to be "neutral" due to the military strength of Shadingzhou.

When Sha Dingzhou became less wary of the Mu family, Mu Yi, chieftain of Lijiang, immediately sent his son to Fujing under the name Chaohe Xinjun.

One is to prove to the imperial court that Sha Dingzhou is actually the one who rebelled, and Duke Qian is Zhongliang.

On the other hand, I hope that Zhao Yinxuan, who reinforced Jiangxi to fight against Kim Shenghuan last year, can be transferred back to Yunnan to help Guizhou to fight the rebellion.Of course, it would be better if the imperial court could send more soldiers to conquer Shadingzhou, but with the fighting power of the Ming Dynasty army, even sending tens of thousands of troops may not necessarily be stronger than the [-] Dian troops selected by Zhao Yin.

When Su Pin's army passed the border of Tingzhou, Mu Jing found a reason to part ways with the Guangdong army, and only brought sixty or seventy guards to protect the chariots and horses and rushed to Tianxing Mansion.

When they met the Cantonese army on their way, they also thought about the rampage of Fujianese Jian captives, and for the sake of security, they went with them, and even gave Su Pin a lot of benefits.Therefore, Su Pin was not surprised that they left the team at this time.

The Mu family and his party were still a hundred miles away from Tianxing Mansion, and they had already heard the news of Yanping's victory, that Chen Wangzhen defeated Boluo and defeated more than ten thousand enemies.

All the guards breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news. From this point of view, at least they will not encounter the Jianlu brigade on the way, and the safety of the young master and the second lady is finally guaranteed.

But unlike the guards, Mu Jing became even more nervous, ordering the entourage to speed up one after another.According to Mu Zhiqing's analysis, the retreat of the foreign enemies at this time was the beginning of strife within the Ming court.

As soon as their chariots and horses entered the city of Tianxing Mansion, they heard the sound of low-pitched horns coming from behind them.Immediately, the officers and soldiers of the brigade began to run back and forth at the top of the city, with bows and blunderbuss in order, as if they were preparing for battle to defend against the enemy.The soldiers and horses of the five cities also sent troops to strictly enforce martial law in the city.

The entire Tianxing Mansion immediately looked like a rainstorm was about to come.

Mu Zhiqing asked Yale to inquire about the location of the post house, and learned that it was still more than ten miles away.She frowned slightly, and then said to Mu Jing: "Brother, the situation in the city is not right, we'd better settle down nearby."

Mu Jing nodded, and immediately ordered the guards to find a store to stay in, and ordered them to ride a fast horse to deliver a letter to the Ministry of Rites.
