Mu Yunyu deliberately hesitated for a few seconds, and only stood up after Mu Yunchen stepped forward to speak.

Mu Yunchen began to feel a little worried when the emperor pointed him out just now.

The city was lost and the State of Dai attacked repeatedly. Apart from bringing troops from the capital, the only way was to transfer troops from the surrounding areas for support.

The closest to the northwest are Liancheng and Adaoguan.

The army stationed in Liancheng is to defend Jiuzhou City. Although Jiuzhou City has signed an alliance with Damu on the surface, it has been ambiguous with Dai State in recent years.

But they were still restrained. Without a pretext, the State of Mu could not initiate a war against Jiuzhou, so they could only order the son-in-law Han Jiuxi to station troops in Liancheng to prevent Jiuzhou City from taking advantage of the weakness of Liancheng's border defenses and marching straight in.

Therefore, the troops of Liancheng could not move.

So there is only——Adaoguan.

Adaoguan is adjacent to the Lige tribe, and the Lige tribe has only signed an alliance with Damu in the past six months. There is also Aher...

With him around, Li Ge will probably not have any other thoughts for the time being.

Therefore, transferring troops from Adaoguan to the northwest for support is the best option, there is no other way.

However, the general stationed at Adao Pass was Prime Minister Mu’s legitimate son and Qingning’s elder brother.

Mu Yunchen felt a little worried.

Qingning, if I recommended your brother, would you blame me?

The northwest at this time was like a den of dragons and tigers, with Dai State's wolfish ambitions in front and...

Shen Qianren, the general of the northwest, was originally just an inconspicuous figure in the imperial army. He was recommended by Mu Yunyu and had some abilities, so he was appointed as the general guarding the border and stationed in the northwest.

The northwest was indeed peaceful for a period of time during those years, but in recent years the country has suddenly become restless.

Shen Qianren had probably already colluded with Mu Yunyu. The loss of the northwestern city this time was probably due to Mu Yunyu's handiwork.

However, it is still unclear whether Mu Yunyu has any connection with Dai State.

If there is... then Mu Yunyu is really as stupid as a pig.

The only way now is to let Mu Ci lead his troops to support the northwest as soon as possible, so that there is a possibility of recovering the lost territory.

Otherwise, if Shen Qianren was really Mu Yunyu's man, by the time he led his troops from the capital, the Dai Kingdom would probably have been close to Fan Yang.

Once Fanyang City is captured, the Dai State can march straight into Zhongdu, and by then it will be too late.

Mu Yunyu, you'd better have some conscience and not collaborate with the enemy and commit treason. Otherwise, not only will your father not forgive you, but the people of the world will not forgive you either.

After thinking about it, Mu Yunchen finally made up his mind.

"Your Majesty, I think we should send troops from the northwest to support us. Whether it is time, manpower, or combat experience, it is safer than sending troops from the capital."

As soon as these words were spoken, they instantly attracted the attention of civil and military officials.

Mu Jin looked at Mu Yunchen with a little surprise, and then felt that it was expected.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's idea coincided with his. This was the best choice, and it should be so.

His son, Mu Jin, has the courage to enter the tiger's den and seize the city.

As a subject enjoying a salary from the country, one should put life and death aside, not be a coward, and do practical things for the people. This is what a loyal subject and a gentleman should be.

Mu Yunyu lowered his head and curled his lips. He just wanted these words to come out of Mu Yunchen's mouth.

Everything is according to his plan.

As soon as Mu Yunchen finished speaking, a moment later, Mu Yunyu also hurriedly stepped forward and echoed: "Your Majesty, I also think that what His Royal Highness said is very true."

The emperor's eyes showed relief, and he looked at Mu Jin with joy.

Mu Qing has only one son in his life, and now he has to let his only son fight against a group of ruthless and ambitious people in Dai State.

The future is really uncertain.

Thinking of this, the emperor seemed to have something unspeakable in his heart, and looked at Mu Jin with great confusion.

Mu Jin has been an official in the court for nearly thirty years. He is already an old fox as he has climbed to the position of prime minister, second only to the emperor.

From the look in the emperor's eyes, he knew what the emperor wanted to hear.

How can parents not worry when their son is away? But Mu Ci is not only his child, but also a subject of the emperor and a general of Damu.

"Your Majesty, I also think that what His Royal Highness said is indeed the best choice. I plead on behalf of my son, and ask Your Majesty to allow Mu Ci to lead his troops from Adao Pass to the northwest to support General Shen and recapture the city that Damu has lost."

His words were as powerful as thunder and as sharp as a sword drawn from its sheath. His tone was earnest, intimidating, and enough to shock people.

The emperor felt very comforted and slapped his thigh, ordering someone to rush the imperial edict to Adao Pass for 800 miles.

"If you have nothing to report, please leave the court!"

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Minister of Justice Pei Xuan stepped forward again and saluted the Emperor. Just now when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was offering advice to the Emperor, someone came to report.

An unsolved case occurred on Chang'an Street in Zhongdu City.

Originally, the prefect of Chang'an Street could have recorded the case for trial, but he didn't expect that the case involved the Prince's Mansion, and in just two hours, it had caused an uproar in the city.

This caused great indignation among the people, and the prefect of Chang'an Street had to report the case, so the case came to the Ministry of Justice.

For an upright and loyal minister like Pei Xuan, there is no one in the world that he dare not offend.

Even if it involves the Prince's Mansion, he will not show favoritism out of fear. Mu Yunyu probably expected this for sure, knowing that Pei Xuan would definitely report the case to the Emperor in the hall.

The people of the world, civil and military officials, were under such heavy pressure that even if the emperor wanted to protect the prince, he had to put him and her in prison.

As long as the prince is in prison, he will be unable to do anything he wants to do.

It's a pity that Mu Yunyu had planned everything, but he didn't expect that Mu Peiyun would take all the blame on himself.

-

"Sir, I have said that the carriage of the Crown Prince's residence did collide with the carriage of the Prince of Heqin's residence that day, but I did not order the drivers to be beaten to death."

"If you want to investigate the case, I will follow you, but I hope the prefect can handle the case fairly and impartially."

The prefect kept wiping the sweat off his face with his sleeves. The person in front of him was the Crown Princess, but the people outside kept shouting for justice.

Moreover, the person who made the accusation was the princess of the imperial family, and he couldn't afford to offend either of them.

The prefect tried his best to figure out what was wrong that led him to encounter these two giant Buddhas.

As a last resort, the prefect had to send someone to the palace to report to his superior, the Ministry of Justice.

As for the Crown Princess, she could only send someone to watch over her and wait for orders from the palace.

"Crown Princess, I am not making random guesses. The person who testified against you and His Royal Highness is actually the princess of the royal family. I am really in a difficult position."

The prefect seemed to be wearing a mask of pain, and the expression on his face was truly worrying.

Mu Peiyun was holding a teacup. Upon hearing this, he threw the cup to the ground, smashing it to pieces.

"Your Excellency, I have already said that the Japanese palace should go first. His Highness has something to do at home and has not come to the palace with me. No matter how much this matter is linked to, it cannot be linked to His Highness the Crown Prince."

The prefect was shaking so much that his back was soaked. He explained tremblingly, "You can... you can tell the princess that she saw you and His Royal Highness riding in the same carriage into the palace together."

After a pause, the prefect immediately added: "As for the officers on duty at the palace gate that day, I have also questioned them. I did see the carriages of the Crown Prince's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion collide, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was present at the time... I..."
