Chapter 181
Mu Wanqing was also quite shocked, "You're right? It's Prince Wei's Mansion? Not Prince Jin's Mansion?"
In her judgment, King Jin's uprising is most likely, and she has been staring at it.
However, it was actually the residence of the Prince of Wei.
The subordinates hurriedly took out an order, "This is an order from the Wei Palace, and it's under the banner of revenge for the Queen Mother."
Mu Wanqing took over the letter, which contained sharp words and awe-inspiring righteousness.
He scolded the emperor for being ruthless and ruthless, not even letting go of the queen mother who had been very kind to him, and also said that the queen mother died tragically.
Son of man? Mu Wanqing was a little dazed, and Du Shuai's voice came from her ear, "The Queen Mother raised King Wei for several years."
Mu Wanqing suddenly realized that the queen mother could still be used as a tool once she died.
"Hehe, it's obviously a wolf's ambition, and what kind of dutiful son is he pretending to be, it's not disgusting."
There was a humming sound on and off the stage, and discussions continued.
The foreign war is not over yet, why are we fighting in the nest again? Isn't this a sign of ruin?
A student said weakly, "Du Shuai, King Wei will not succeed, right?"
The scene was quiet, and all eyes looked at him.
What Du Shuai said was decisive, "Yes, such an unfaithful and unrighteous dog thief can't do anything."
As soon as the well-respected Du Shuai said this, everyone believed him, their emotions were calmed down, and there was no panic.
However, Mu Wanqing was not so optimistic, her brows furrowed.
Du Shuai sighed silently, "County Lord, sit down and have a cup of tea."
"Okay." Mu Wanqing made an inviting gesture and invited Du Shuai to her office.
Li Dong brought tea and waited for a while before quietly exiting, closing the door and staying outside.
Du Shuai took a sip of tea, bitterness in his mouth, "What you said has come true."
She said there would be a civil war, but no, that's exactly what she said.
Mu Wanqing was silent, what are my words? Obviously he thought so too.
"It's later than I thought, why did they choose this time to attack? I don't know if it was a hasty revolt, or was it planned for a long time?"
It stands to reason that if you want to rebel, you are not just talking about it. You have to recruit troops and raise weapons. It is not enough for a few years.
Du Shuai's hand can't stretch that long, so he can only guess, "Maybe the war is about to end, and they didn't achieve the results they wanted. They are anxious."
The battle in the south was over, and the firepower was concentrated on Xiliang's side, and the battle was stalemate.
Mu Wanqing snorted coldly, "Collaborate with foreign countries, lead the enemy troops to enter the gate, drive all the way to the capital, and take the opportunity to get rid of the emperor, they can stand up to gain reputation, accumulate people's hearts, set up a force to turn the tide, and save the glory of the people from water and fire. It is their conception to take the throne logically. Unfortunately, the court is not as weak as they imagined."
She hates traitors the most. If you fight within each other, you will fight each other.
The struggle for imperial power is nothing more than this, but, connecting with foreign countries is a principled red line that cannot be touched.
Du Shuai's face is like sinking water. In order to seize the world, he will do whatever it takes to betray the interests of Daqi. How can such a person deserve to sit on that high throne?
He was the first to disagree.
"How can the enemy be willing to stop?"
Mu Wanqing's tone was cool, "I'll give you the land and pay for it. No matter how poor you are, you won't be poor. You can still sing and dance, and you'll be able to have a great country if you cut a few cities and go out. It's not a loss."
Thinking about the past dynasties, there are not many such things.
"A bunch of scum, traitors." Du Shuai couldn't help scolding, "Aren't they afraid of bringing wolves into the house and becoming sinners of the Da Qi Dynasty?"
Mu Wanqing sneered, if they had a bottom line, Daqi would not be in flames.
The soldiers were blood-soaked to defend their country, and those dragons and phoenixes only thought about how to make good money.
"Wealth and wealth are in danger. This power is worth betting on. If you succeed, you will be the emperor, and if you lose, you will be a bandit."
Du handsomely clutched his chest, gasping for breath.
Mu Wanqing was taken aback, for fear that he would fall here, and she couldn't speak clearly.
She hurriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, "Don't be angry, it's not worth it. Right now, let's think about how to protect ourselves and how to protect the people of Xiliang."
She and Du Shuai, as the highest officials of Xiliang, have the responsibility to protect the people of Xiliang.
In his position, he must fulfill his responsibilities.
Du Shuai didn't take the tea, but took out a pill and swallowed it. After a while, his face gradually improved.
"what do you think?"
Mu Wanqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Mu Shuai's physical condition was worse than expected, "This is just the beginning, I bet one egg, and the Jin Palace will soon follow."
Du Shuai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his face pale, "You don't like Jin Wangfu?"
Mu Wanqing thought of Mu Jinyao's choice. The reborn person chose the Prince of Jin. What did it mean?
Having said that, Mu Jinyao disappeared, what happened?
"I have met the Prince of Jin. He seems to be gentle and elegant, but he is actually a ruthless and unscrupulous person, and he is also very ambitious."
Du Shuai had nothing to do with the Prince of Jin, and had no impression, "The emperor is wise and martial, and he won't let those people succeed."
Mu Wanqing sighed softly, "Your Majesty is a Ming Jun, but your luck is not very good, it's hard." Being an Emperor is not a good job.
There are famines, earthquakes, locust plagues, and droughts everywhere. The court is busy with disaster relief every day.
Saying that the king has lost his virtue will cause the wrath of the gods, and this will bring disaster.
This day can't be over.
Du Shuai's expression changed, and he looked at the door subconsciously, "Don't talk nonsense."
Mu Wanqing pursed her lips, "I want to show my loyalty to the emperor, and send 20,000 troops each in Yuyuguan and Yicheng. If necessary, close the city gates and cut off all external gates."
Yuyuguan and Yicheng are the two barriers between Xiliang and the outside world.
Du Shuai is the head coach of the first army, and he is hundreds of times better than her in this regard.
"right."
Du Shuai pondered for a while, "Okay, who do you want to tune in?"
This is just to show respect for Mu Wanqing, not really asking her to make an idea.
Mu Wanqing is not stupid, her tone is casual, "You are an expert in this regard, you can decide."
They had long agreed that she would be in charge of administration, but not in military affairs.
Du Shuai has already thought about the candidates, "Then let Jiang Tongzhi be stationed at Yuyuguan, and Zhou Siyuan be stationed at Yicheng."
Mu Wanqing said, "Can't it end on Du Shaoxuan's side? This war has dragged on for too long."
The daily supply of food and grass is a huge expense, and she can't afford it no matter how rich she is.
Chao Ting is too busy to take care of himself, and he can't take care of the borders at all.
Although Du Shuai was recovering from his injuries in the rear, he knew the battle situation on the front line like the back of the back.
"After Xiwu's defeat, he retreated directly to Ganzhou City. The two countries worked together to fight against my Mu family army. They fought back and forth for several times, and the stalemate could not be reached."
Mu Wanqing frowned slightly, "It won't take a few years, will it? Burning money every day will make you poor, why don't you sit down and talk to see if we can live together peacefully and make money together?"
It was the common people and the soldiers at the bottom who suffered the most.
Du Shuai also didn't want to fight, "The two countries have long been willing to annex me, so why would you want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"
Mu Wanqing rubbed her brows. Fortunately, she had arranged everything early and vigorously promoted industrial commerce. The listing of cotton attracted investment from businessmen across the country, and the funds were abundant.
Another wave of wheat has just been harvested, but the yield is not high, and we have to find a way to increase the yield.
No, you still have to hoard a lot of food and grass, the more the better, contact the merchants.
Suddenly, Du Shuai's voice came from his ear, "Thank you, county magistrate."
Mu Wanqing was stunned, she heard right, "Huh?"
Du Shuai's expression was sincere and serious, "If you hadn't planned ahead, knew the righteousness, and sent the hoarded food and grass to the army, I'm afraid it would have been impossible to keep it."
No matter how strong your troops are, if you don't have food or grass, you will starve to death.
Once Xiliang was lost, the enemy army marched straight in, and the troops approached the capital, with unimaginable consequences.
Those people calculated everything, but missed one person, and that was Mu Wanqing.
Mu Wanqing's vision is long-term, and her ability is very powerful, she can only turn the situation around by herself.
She was originally exiled to the border, but she became the guardian of Xiliang by accident.
No one expected this.
Mu Wanqing showed a bright smile, "I also think I'm great, and the court should give me a big reward."
Du Shuai couldn't help laughing, she was smart but not conceited, and she was very likable.
"You don't have any ideas?"
Mu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, what do you mean? But looking at his meaningful expression, his heart moved, "You mean that supreme position."
She said it very directly, "It's very cold at the heights. The higher you stand, the greater the responsibility on your body. I support the entire empire by myself. I don't want to put such a heavy shackle on myself."
To be honest, there are frequent disasters, internal and external difficulties, the emperor is worried, sleep and sleep are difficult, life is difficult, and she is not at ease yet.
"Besides, the current emperor and crown prince are not rude to me, and they are all rewarded. I quite recognize them."
The implication is that if it is not good for her, she will make a counter-attempt.
Du Shuai: ...
I had known that she was a very rebellious person, and she was a daughter, but she dared to wrestle with the court officials, and dared to do things that ordinary people would not dare to do.
But so... deviant, still suffered a great impact.
Sure enough, not long after, Jin Wangfu announced its support for Wei Wangfu and jointly rebelled.
The Prince of Jin also stood up and testified, saying that he broke the secret of the emperor's poisoning of the queen mother, so he was chased and killed, if not for his life, he would not be able to return to the fief.
Also took out the so-called evidence, the Queen Mother's handwritten letter.
The empress dowager said in the letter that the king of Jin was her parent and son. At first, the current emperor brought a civet cat to replace the prince, and separated their mother and son.
Why does the current emperor do this? It is to coerce the Queen Mother to help him ascend to the throne.
It sounds well-founded, and the reasons can be self-consistent.
After such a riot, the world shook.
The court denied everything, bluntly saying that it was all made up, just to make the rebel teacher famous.
At the same time, the court sent troops to suppress it and fought fiercely with the rebels.
During this period, several refugee teams rushed into the city to kill officials and occupied the city to declare an uprising.
For a time, the situation was chaotic and everyone was in danger.
Only the Xiliang area is not affected, and it is a world of its own.
There was an uprising army who wanted to capture Yuyuguan Pass, the barrier of Xiliang, but was directly destroyed by the local defenders, and the whole army was destroyed.
The frightened others did not dare to attack Yuyuguan again.
Mu Wanqing didn't dare to slack off, she was busy hoarding food, busy with city affairs, and busy picking up leaks.
There was no war in Xiliang, which attracted many refugees who yearned for stability.
Batches of refugees came from all directions, and the government was busy screening and resettling.
On this day, his subordinates said, "County Lord, the Prince of Jin sent someone to ask to see you."
