Mu Rongtong, who was praised by his aunt for the first time, seemed a little flattered. Seeing his niece like this, Murong's heart softened, and he said amusedly, "Is there anything you like? You haven't rewarded you since you came back from Chu State." What, it just so happens that your birthday is coming soon, do you like it?"

Mu Congcong shook her head, "There's nothing I particularly like." She recalled what her mother had said, and tentatively asked, "But...Qi'er wants to ask aunt for something?"

Murong Xun played with the small flag, turned around and looked at the map, and said casually, "Let's talk."

"Qi'er wants to seek an official position for one person..."

Murong Xun paused, then turned sideways, "Are you looking for an official position?"

Mu Congcong swallowed his saliva, "He, he, he... is a good friend of mother's. He was discharged from the army after being injured in the army..." Mu Congcong told Murong Cong the whole story, and finally raised his head after finishing speaking. , but saw that the corner of Murong Xun's mouth had disappeared from the smile at some point.

Her heart tightened, and she said again, "Qi'er is just..."

"Just what?" Murong asked, "Is it filial piety?"

Mu Container didn't speak, it seemed that he had acquiesced.

Murong Xun turned around, with his hands behind his back, and looked at his niece expressionlessly, "Do you still remember what Gu taught you on New Year's Eve?"

Murong Cong was startled, and suddenly remembered what Murong Xun said to himself that day:

"I only want you to climb up step by step, to fight, to grab, to take back everything you have, until you get everything you want."

"The ministers under the stage, and the common people in the world, are all chess pieces in your game."

"It's the same for lovers, and it's also the same for children, what's more about courtiers?"

……

"I, I..." Mu Congcong hesitated, "I just..."

"I want you to be the master of chess, but you are someone else's pawn." Murong Yan smiled coldly, "I want you to raise your own subjects, but you want to raise other people's dogs and utensils, what should I do?" What about you?"

Mu Congcong knelt on the ground in fright, and explained, "Auntie, I don't have me! It's just...it's just that my mother begged me a few times, me, me, me..."

Murong Xun stretched out his hand and patted his niece's shoulder, and said softly, "Mother... so what? Your mother's surname is 'Uncle Gong'."

Mu Cong suddenly raised his head, and was about to say something more, when he heard Murong say again, "It seems that you still can't harden your heart, so that's fine, that guy came to pave the way for you, it's just a tool..." Murong squatted down, looked at his niece, and smiled coolly, "You are not the only heir of the right age in the entire Murong clan, as long as you have a lonely wish, the Zong clan will eagerly pull you into the water, Get rid of it quickly, so that your descendants can take your place."

After hearing what Murong Yan said, Murong Cong was really scared. If she had never obtained the crown prince before, then she would not be greedy, but she has obtained it now, if she loses it... …

She would have nothing again.

...Absolutely, no!

"You are the only child of an orphan mother and elder brother. You are an orphan child. I love you, love you, and make you the crown prince, but this does not mean that I can protect you forever." The facts were placed in front of Mu Congcong, letting her know how difficult her situation was, "You have to become stronger, better, and able to sit on the throne. If you don't have that ability, then you have to learn To use the ability of others to grab and fight.

After your birthday, you will be 11 years old, and you will be crowned adult in four years.Do you understand what Gu is talking about? "

Mu Congcong was a little dazed, but seemed to understand something, "I..."

"You can't climb to the throne by yourself. You have to learn to use everything you can and remove all obstacles, including your natal family, your mother, and your marriage."

Murong Yan's words were like a gust of wind, stirring up a turbulent wave in Murong Cong's heart, which made her unable to recover for a while.

"Go back and think about it. The request you made today will be satisfied. I just want you to see with your own eyes what kind of ending the mistake you made today will bring you in the future. These are all your mother begged for you, and they are all in exchange for your stupidity."

Hearing this, Mu Congcong knelt down on the spot and kowtowed his head three times, and said in a shy voice, "Aunt Xie, Qi'er...retire."

"Go."

……

A few days later, Murong Xun still announced in the court hall that he would build the Great Wall on the Qindong border, and he also mentioned the policy of increasing business taxes and slightly reducing farm taxes.All the ministers were in an uproar after hearing this, gathered together a group of good students and discussed for a long time in twos and threes, probably feeling that they couldn't find any major faults, and finally agreed.

However, when Murong Xun took out the edict on the spot, they were also speechless for a long time. It seemed that Murong Xun had already made a decision, and it was nothing more than letting them know in the morning.

All the ministers were muttering in their hearts, Murong Xun's actions are getting tougher now...

After the imperial court, the matter of taxation and taxation was handed over to the people of Zhongshu Province, and the matter of building the Great Wall was handled by the Ministry of Industry and Ding'an Hou Murongqi.Originally, this matter was over, but I don't know if it was because Murong Xun scolded Murong Cong in the imperial study a few days ago, after the court, Murong Cong ran to the imperial study again, in front of Yan Wuwei and Murong Xun He offered to go to the east to supervise the construction of the Great Wall.
