[Rebirth] General waiting for my return

The early court was as dull as ever, and the ministers didn't have many papers. Anyway, this His Majesty has never been diligent, and there is no difference between handing papers or not.

Tan Muqiu thought for a long time, sat upright, and said, "About the war between the imperial court and King Ning'an, do you have anything to say?"

The courtiers were obviously a little surprised and began to discuss.Zhao Qingming looked at Tan Muqiu with complicated eyes, unable to figure out why the other party was so concerned about the war with King Ning'an.

"Your Majesty, the war is protracted. King Ning'an went all the way south, and the grass and trees in the prefectures he passed were full of soldiers, and the people felt uneasy. Even though Chang Ning's army has strict military discipline and will not disturb the people, how can the family and the country live in chaos? Besides, the war consumes military resources. Quite..." The one who spoke was waiting for Zhao Shuo, Zhao Qingming's father.

"Conclusion." Tan Muqiu impatiently interrupted Zhao Shuo's long speech.

"Your Majesty, please send ministers to persuade King Ning'an to surrender," Zhao Shuo said.

Tan Muqiu thought it was funny, it was obviously a peace talk, and he insisted on persuading surrender, thinking that Li Yu had always been cautious, and the ministers were afraid of offending him.

However, in my memory, it was not Zhao Shuo who went to persuade him to surrender, but another civil servant who was on the same level as Zhao Shuo.Qin Muqiu searched among the courtiers for a while, locked on a small and thin old man, and said, "Wang Xing, you go, I remember that you can speak better than Lord Zhao."

As soon as Qin Muqiu said this, everyone present held back their laughter. Zhao Shuo twitched the corners of his mouth, but did not refute.This Wang Xing is notoriously pedantic and stubborn, and he talks like a master preaching the scriptures, which makes people sleepy.

However, no matter who is sent at this time, the effect is the same.Li Jin has already started to rebel, and it is impossible to give up halfway. If the war wants to stop, unless Li Yu surrenders.However, Li Jin might not believe Li Yu's surrender. He directly led the Chang Ning army into Zhongdu, and Li Yu surrendered and ushered people into Zhongdu. To Li Jin, it was no different.

At least the former is more enjoyable.

But Zhao Shuo still proposed peace talks, although he knew that the result would not change.However, peace talks may be able to stop the speed of Chang Ning's army. In any case, everyone hopes that An An will welcome the new king into the court after the new year.

Li Jin has always come to kill decisively, who knows what will happen to Li Yue's old ministers?House raids, distribution, beheading, of course, it is also possible that everything remains the same.But in any case, many people still plan for the worst, so they hope to live another year in peace.

Wang Xing accepted this job. Although he is pedantic, he is not stupid.The emperor sent him an errand, and he didn't expect anything, maybe he just wanted to send himself to make Li Jin feel uncomfortable.

After the court, Zhao Qingming consciously followed Tan Muqiu.He didn't pick up Tan Muqiu in the morning, because he hadn't figured out a plan, or he didn't make up his mind whether to help Tan Muqiu.But after the morning court, he suddenly felt that the emperor was really different from before.

Maybe this guy who lurks in the peace talks team has some tricks.Fortunately, no matter what, as long as you stay by the other party's side, you will be able to guarantee that the other party will not be able to play any tricks.That being the case, if a dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor, there will never be a worse situation than the fall of Zhongdu.

After entering the Ninghe Hall, Tan Muqiu asked straight to the point: "General Zhao, tell me about your plan."

"Wang Xing is old and dim-witted. It's not difficult to sneak into the team with a disguise. I can arrange the guards of the same company. I will make sure that they are all my own when the time comes, and I will definitely not show my feet." Zhao Qingming said.

"Well, what about this side of the palace?" Tan Muqiu pinched a piece of red bean cake and asked while eating.

Zhao Qingming stared at the red bean cakes on the table, lost in thought.Li Yu never eats snacks, this is a well-known fact, even if Zhao Qingming has not been close to him all year round, he will know about it.

"Do you want to eat?" Seeing the other party looking at the red bean cake in a daze, Qin Muqiu picked up a piece and wanted to throw it to the other party.Zhao Qingming subconsciously reached out to pick it up, but it was empty.Tan Muqiu put the red bean cake in his mouth into his mouth, and said with a smile, "I'll eat it after you finish talking."

Rong An stood aside and raised his eyebrows, "I'll go pour you a cup of hot tea for His Majesty."

"Pour him tea, I won't drink it." Tan Muqiu said casually.

After Rong An left, Zhao Qingming came back to his senses, and said, "If Your Majesty is disguised, Wang Xing will naturally not recognize him. However, if he meets King Ning An, he may not be able to avoid the other party's eyes. It is convenient for him to just meet him face to face." I can recognize His Majesty."

"Why didn't I think of that." Tan Muqiu put down the half-eaten red bean cake, frowning slightly.Li Jin was very close to the first emperor, and also very close to Li Yu, his nephew.In my impression, before Li Yu came to the throne, Li Jin would come to the Central Committee for a long time every year, and it is said that he often stayed in Li Yu's bedroom.

Three years ago, for some reason, the uncle and nephew suddenly developed a grudge. Since then, Li Jin has never returned to Zhongdu.But even if they haven't seen each other for three years, Li Jin must be able to recognize Li Yue easily, Tan Muqiu has no doubts about this.

"Then what can be done?" Tan Muqiu asked.

Zhao Qingming said: "Wuyun is good at disguise, you can make him disguise for His Majesty."

"Who is Wuyun?" Tan Muqiu asked.

Zhao Qingming glanced at Tan Muqiu, slightly surprised, but not overly shocked.It happened that Rong An came back at this time, and gave Tan Muqiu a bowl of pear soup with rock sugar, and gave Zhao Qingming the tea in his hand.

"Sit down." Tan Muqiu said nonchalantly, this time Zhao Qingming didn't shirk, and sat down calmly.

Rong An walked up to Tan Muqiu and stood beside him, and said, "Your Majesty may have forgotten that Wuyun is Pei Qing who became a monk and went to Wanli Temple three years ago. Before His Majesty ascended the throne, he has been a guest of the Eastern Palace."

Tan Muqiu nodded pretending to be enlightened, and secretly glanced at Zhao Qingming, seeing that the other party was concentrating on drinking tea, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Zhao Qingming put down the teacup and continued: "If this matter is to be safe, His Majesty must believe in Wuyun. If not, this matter will be difficult to accomplish."

"Let's talk and listen." Tan Muqiu said.

"Your Majesty is not in the palace, someone must come and pretend to be His Majesty." Zhao Qingming said.

Tan Muqiu was startled, if Wuyun and Zhao Qingming joined forces, wouldn't it be a plot to usurp the throne.But he thought about it again, he still understood Zhao Qingming's behavior, although he was a little untrustworthy, he must be a loyal minister to the country and the people.

Besides, the throne was originally picked up, so he doesn't feel bad if it is lost.

"Okay, very good." After Tan Muqiu finished speaking, he picked up the red bean cake on the plate and threw it to Zhao Qingming, which was fulfilling the "promise" just now.

Just as Rong An wanted to remind him, he saw that Zhao Qingming had already taken the red bean cake, which was the half-eaten piece of Qin Muqiu, but Tan Muqiu didn't notice it.

Zhao Qingming hesitated for a moment, then put the red bean cake into his mouth.Tan Muqiu just looked up and choked up the pear soup he just drank.

"That..." Tan Muqiu felt a little embarrassed, and didn't know what to say, so he simply said, "Rong An, ask the imperial dining room to pack a red bean cake for General Zhao to take back."

Zhao Qingming thanked her calmly.

Rong An took the order to leave, and the hall was a little embarrassed for a while.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask Your Majesty for a favor." Zhao Qingming knelt down suddenly.

"Get up and say, what do you want...?" Tan Muqiu asked.

Zhao Qingming took a deep breath and said, "The red maple that your majesty went to see that day was planted by me personally ten years ago. I implore your majesty to allow me to transplant that red maple out of the palace."

Tan Muqiu was silent for a moment, pretending to be nonchalant and said, "It's just a tree, dig it away."

Zhao Qingming kowtowed to thank him.When the red bean cakes were delivered from the imperial dining room, Zhao Qingming left the Hall of Ninghe with them.Tan Muqiu said that he didn't have to wait in front of the palace every day, so he asked someone to help him move Hongfeng out of the palace.

In the past, he would never have made such a request to intentionally touch Li Yue's Ni Lin, but today he can already conclude that the person sitting on the dragon chair has changed, whether it's a change of temper or another person. , in short, no longer moody, no longer vicious and gloomy.

In the past seven years, because he was afraid of touching the scene and breaking Li Yu's taboo, he never went to see Hongfeng.He was also worried that the tree would die if left unattended, but he didn't expect it to grow very well.

That night, after setting up Hongfeng, he galloped to the Wanli Temple outside the city overnight.

Pei Qing, who is Wuyun today, came to Wanli Temple for the first time and said: "Wanli Wuyun, if I come here to become a monk, I will give myself a Dharma name called Wuyun."

At that time, Zhao Qingming also said: "You look like a Taoist priest, and you should not come to the temple if you become a monk." It never occurred to me that after Li Yu came to the throne, Pei Qing really went to Wanli Temple to become a monk, and his dharma name was Wuyun .

"Benefactor, you visited the evil temple late at night, but what vulgar things bothered you?" Wuyun clasped his hands together with a relaxed expression.

Zhao Qingming put down the red bean cake in his hand and said, "Master, let's make a guess."

Wuyun said "Amitabha" in a serious manner, then narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "The poor monk is watching the sky at night, the benefactor must be here for the one on the dragon chair."

Zhao Qingming kicked the other party and said, "Can you look like a monk, don't wear cassocks and pretend to be a Taoist priest?"

"Big Thousand Worlds..."

"Let's say I'll beat you."

Wuyun had no choice but to put away the supernatural stuff, opened the red bean cake, squeezed a piece, and said, "You haven't bought this for many years, but today you really want to."

Zhao Qingming just wanted to explain that it was a gift from His Majesty, but then he held back.

"Did something happen to Your Majesty? I was very flustered a few days ago, but these two days have calmed down a lot. I think Your Majesty is lucky enough to have survived this calamity." Wuyun said.

Zhao Qingming frowned slightly, and said, "In a few days, I will bring your Majesty down to see you."

Hearing this, Wuyun choked on a mouthful of red bean crisps and almost lost his breath.
