[Rebirth] General waiting for my return

The Red Maple Camp went to the southwest, and the emperor personally practiced it for them.

Zhao Duanwu, who was disguised as Qin Muqiu, stood beside Zhao Qingming with Zhan Xun, wearing armor and covering his face.Because the news of Qin Muqiu's death was already known to the whole court, so only the generals of the Red Maple Battalion knew about the news that Qin Muqiu led the army to the battle. Externally speaking, the leader of the army this time was still Zhao Qingming.

Holding his wine glass, Tan Muqiu said loudly, "I am waiting for your triumphant return." But his eyes were always on Zhao Qingming.The two looked at each other, smiled, and drank together.The generals of the Red Maple Battalion present all drank the wine in their glasses.

"Let's go." Tan Muqiu raised his arms and shouted, just like when he was the commander of the Red Maple Battalion, his face was full of confidence and excitement.

The soldiers of the Red Maple Battalion had a tacit understanding with him for a long time, and shouted "We must win" in unison, only after they finished shouting did they realize that the person who raised their arms and shouted was not "Tan Muqiu" but the current emperor.

Zhao Qingming took another deep look at Tan Muqiu, and got on the horse first, followed by "Tan Muqiu" and Zhan Xun.

The strong men go out to fight, and the horseshoes fly.

Tan Muqiu was so excited just now, but now he is so lonely.

The passion of that year has not yet cooled down, but he has no chance to gallop on the battlefield again.When he was in Beijun, he didn't feel how happy that kind of life was, but just now when he saw the soldiers of Hongfeng Camp who lived and died with him in the past, Tan Muqiu realized how high-spirited he was at that time.

However, there is always an end to everything.

Fate sent him here, made him fall in love with Zhao Qingming again, let him control Dayu's country, no matter what, he must give fate an explanation.

Ninghe Hall.

Sitting in front of the desk, Tan Muqiu read the report from beginning to end, and said loudly, "Come here."

Someone pushed the door open and entered, but Tan Muqiu looked up and saw that he was still waiting.

"Why are you guarding here every day? Is there no one else in the Habayashi Army?" Tan Muqiu asked.

Shang Waited looked embarrassed, and said: "General Zhao asked the minister to swear before he went out to fight, that he must always be by His Majesty's side, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Qin Muqiu asked.

Shang waited with a look of embarrassment and said: "Otherwise, he will make me the head of the inner court after he comes back."

Qin Muqiu couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard the words, thinking that the head of the inner court is not an eunuch.

"The Red Maple Battalion has arrived in the southwest. I am relieved at last. You will bring Qilin Guard to see me immediately, and then find someone to prepare a fast horse." Tan Muqiu said seriously.

Shang waited to hear the words and hurriedly ordered to go on.

After a while, Xuan Qi and Xuan Lin came.

"Xuan Qi, I order you to send this secret decree to Mao County to King Ning'an." Tan Muqiu picked up the secret decree that had been drawn up on the desk and handed it to Xuan Qi.

Xuan Qi received the secret decree and asked, "Do you want to wait for King Ning'an's reply?"

Tan Muqiu thought for a while, and said: "This secret letter is to call him back to the Central Capital, and you can come back with him at that time." Xuan Qi heard the words, and withdrew with the secret letter.

Qin Muqiu picked up another imperial decree on the table, hesitated for a moment, and said to Xuan Lin: "I will ask General Shang to take people to Zhao Houye's mansion to announce the decree later. You should stay in the dark and don't show your face. If he dares to play tricks , you wait until night to force him to hand over his things."

"Yes." Xuan Lin hurriedly replied.

"Remember not to hurt his life, and don't disturb other people." Tan Muqiu said.

Xuan Lin should be, so Tan Muqiu asked him to step down.

Only Tan Muqiu and Shang are left in the hall.

"Your Majesty wants to announce King Ning'an into the palace?" Shang et al asked in puzzlement.

Tan Muqiu said: "King Ning'an will live in this Ninghe Palace sooner or later, doesn't General Shang know?"

Shang waited to kneel down when he heard the words, and wanted to plead guilty, but was stopped by Tan Muqiu: "I said it myself, you don't have to panic. I'm afraid all the people in Dayu think so in their hearts. Besides, you are Yu Lin The general of the army is protecting the safety of the entire imperial city, who lives in this Ninghe Palace is not important to you."

Shang et al said seriously, "Your Majesty, forgive me for saying something boldly. General Zhao said before he left for the expedition that you and King Ning'an agreed for half a year before discussing the matter of the throne after the Southwest War is over."

"That's all I said." Tan Muqiu said: "The war in the southwest is urgent and there is no room for delay. I must ensure that General Zhao and the Hongfeng Camp arrive in the southwest before I dare to negotiate with King Ning'an. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, not only If the Southwest War is delayed, there will inevitably be other troubles."

Shang waited to say something, but was stopped by Tan Muqiu.

"Now go to the Zhao Mansion to announce the decree and take back the military talisman in Zhao Houye's hand. Then go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to announce the decree, let the Ninth Prince enter the palace, and say that I want to discuss with him who will succeed Zhao Shuo in charge of the defense of the central capital. "Qin Muqiu said.

Shang waited to be shocked when he heard the words, but then he understood a little bit.

If the opponent really wants to take the seat of King Ning'an, the first thing that King Ning'an will do after assuming the throne is to reset the defense of the capital. The opponent's move seems to be cutting Zhao Shuo's military power, but in fact it reduces the Zhao family's power. The risk of staring.

Your Majesty, you are determined to keep the Zhao family.

No wonder the other party had to wait for Zhao Qingming to leave before attacking. If Zhao Qingming was by his side, the other party would inevitably have a lot of worries when attacking.

Qin Muqiu saw that Shang et al.'s face was flickering, thinking that the other party was worried about his situation, so he said: "Don't worry, King Ning'an is not a violent person, even if you are the general of the Habayashi Army, you will definitely not make things difficult for you. But General Zhao is different, he had a feud with King Ning An in his early years..."

"Of course I'm not worried, it's just... I'm thinking about how King Ning'an will treat His Majesty after he ascends the throne? How will I explain to General Zhao on the day of his triumphant return!" Shang Waited looked worried, slightly disappointed Proper.

Tan Muqiu handed the edict to Shang et al, and said, "I'll worry about the rest of the matter, you just need to do your errands well first."

Holding the imperial decree in his hand, Shang Wait finally came to his senses, received the decree respectfully and withdrew.

Nine Palaces.

"Eleventh brother, I've never seen a person who can make trouble like you." Ninth Prince said to a man in military uniform sitting in the hall.

"Don't you want me to follow you to the southwest? This time is exactly what you want." The man changed his face, but the voice was Ning'an Wang Li Jin.

The Ninth Prince said rather unfriendlyly: "Go and take off that fake face first, it will make you feel uncomfortable just looking at it."

Hearing this, Li Jin went to restore his appearance, and changed his clothes by the way.

The Ninth Prince looked at the other party more pleasingly this time, and then said: "How did you figure it out, why did you come back?"

"That day at Wanli Temple, I saw Mu Qiu riding Hongfeng with my own eyes. It was just that I didn't know the details of who followed him at the time, so I couldn't recognize him. But since the day of the expedition, all the way I didn't see Hong Feng's shadow." Li Jin said.

"You came back just because of a horse?" Ninth Prince said.

"You don't understand. Mu Qiu regards Hongfeng as a part of himself on the battlefield. Even if he doesn't bring a weapon, he won't take Hongfeng with him. Later, I had doubts, so I followed for a few days. Keshang waited and Zhao Da The young master followed him almost every step of the way, and I couldn't find a chance to talk to him." Li Jin said: "But I can be sure that he is not Mu Qiu, because he reunited with those soldiers of the Hongfeng Camp after a long absence, so it is impossible for him to have no reaction."

The Ninth Prince looked at the other party thoughtfully for a moment, and asked cautiously, "Are you sure Tan Muqiu is still alive?"

Li Jin nodded and said: "That day at Wanli Temple, I saw him riding Hongfeng with my own eyes. Later, he talked to Shang et al. I was only a few steps away from him. I will not admit my mistake."

The Ninth Prince frowned when he heard the words, looking puzzled.

At this time, a servant came to report and the imperial decree arrived.

The two glanced at each other, Li Jinsui walked behind the screen and hid, while the Ninth Prince was sitting upright waiting to receive the order.

After a while, a servant led Shang and other people in and read out the imperial decree.

After everyone left, Li Jin came out from behind the screen.

"Succeed Zhao Shuo to take charge of Zhongdu's defense?" The Ninth Prince looked at Li Jin puzzled, and said, "Why did he discuss with me? I have never been in court or participated in politics. Zhongdu's defense is a big deal, and it should be left to the Ministry of War." It's up to the officials to discuss it."

Li Jin pondered for a moment and said: "Zhao Shuo has dealings with you, he should know about it? You and I have always been friends, and he knows about it too. It's really frustrating that Zhao Shuo has to discuss candidates with you because of his military power. Incredible."

The Ninth Prince suddenly said: "Zhao Shuo and I have a relationship, maybe he doesn't know about it? First, we have very little contact, except for... the poisoning incident, there is almost no intersection; second, Zhao Shuo It seems that we are not on the same rope with Mr. Zhao."

Otherwise, I wouldn't have poisoned someone to harm someone, but my son would do everything possible to come to the door to ask for the antidote.Presumably, when Zhao Shuo poisoned, he didn't discuss it with his son, but decided on his own.

Li Jin nodded and said, "That makes sense."

In Ninghe Hall, Xuan Lin returned to Tan Muqiu.

"After Lord Zhao received the imperial decree, he was very surprised for a while, but then he seemed to want to understand something." Xuan Lin said: "Master Hou went into the house and took the military talisman and gave it to General Shang personally, and then wrote I sealed the fold and asked General Shang to present it to His Majesty."

Xuan Lin handed the soldier talisman and zhezi to Tan Muqiu, and said: "General Shang ordered the minister to return to the palace with the soldier talisman and zhezi first, and then went to the Nine Princes' Mansion."

After reading Zhao Shuo's excerpt, Qin Muqiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The other party is going to Jiangnan for retirement, so he must have understood his painstaking efforts.

"Send a team of people to escort Marquis Zhao and his family later, and then give some silver taels." Tan Muqiu said: "Now send people to the prison to bring Lidong out, let him take a bath and change clothes and wait in the side hall. .”
