"Mo Liang."

The two brothers and sisters were startled when they heard the words.

Moyena was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by Moro.

Mo Luo sneered and said, "Is he a hostage? Oh, for the emperor, sacrificing a mere headhunter is harmless at all, isn't it?"

However, Qiu Muheng shook his fingers and said, "Your Highness's words are wrong. This man has extraordinary abilities and is a rare pillar of our great Wei. It is because of his talent that he is worthy of being a hostage."

He glanced at Moyena meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Didn't Her Royal Highness appreciate him too?"

He said the word "appreciation" very meaningfully.

Qiu Muheng looked at Mo Luo, and continued: "I specially arranged him in Shuntian Mansion, otherwise, with his ability, I would have promoted him to be a general."

Indeed, in terms of martial arts and resourcefulness, he is not inferior to Helian.Moro and Moyena thought that although he was still young, it was not too much for him to be a general.

Qiu Muheng said: "The most important thing is that the person next to him named Wei Lan - you have already met him. This person, like the princess, appreciates Mo Liang very much."

He smiled, very slyly.

Moyena frowned, it was impossible for her not to understand Qiu Muheng's hint.

"And Wei Lan has the bravery of Guan Gong in the past. Taking the head of the enemy's commander-in-chief among millions of troops is like picking something out of a bag. This person came from the rivers and lakes, and serving the court is only out of "righteousness", not submitting to me. If I break my promise, he will definitely kill me, and my forbidden army can't stop him at all. So, do you understand, Your Highness? If I break my promise, Mo Liang will do whatever you want, and Wei Lan, who is so angry, will naturally come to fetch me The first level. I will never make fun of my own life."

Although his voice was light and light, it caused different ripples in the hearts of the two brothers and sisters.

Guan Gong was revered as the god of war by the people of the Central Plains, and his prestige was widely spread even in the countries of the Western Regions.

Mo Luo said: "The emperor speaks quickly. The emperor is relieved to tell us about this confidential matter."

Wei Lan was not loyal to the emperor. The emperor himself said this, but it gave two kinds of messages.

One, the emperor is incompetent.

Second, be tempted.Since Wei Lan is a capable person, the hostile forces with the emperor naturally want to win him over.

In Mo Luo's view, the emperor's words were more like the second point.

Qiu Muheng smiled and said, "I'm outspoken, so I naturally treat Your Highness and the Princess as a family."

family.

He once again reiterated his sincerity in cooperation.

The cup of tea in front of Mo Luo had already cooled completely.Qiu Muheng smiled, poured a new cup of tea for him, and handed it to him.

"In the next three days, I will order Bao Qing to send Mo Liang to the palace, and let you send me at your disposal."

He said this to Moyena, implying that you can take advantage of this opportunity to increase your relationship with Mo Liang.

"Actually, saying he is a hostage is just to make you feel at ease. From my point of view, he is the bridge that lays the foundation for cooperation between the two countries. I sincerely hope that we can have good relations with your country. I hope that there will be no more wars in this world and that the people can live forever." Enjoy a peaceful life. I believe that the Great Moon King also has such ambitions."

Mo Luo sighed: "The emperor is so considerate, Mo Luo deeply admires it. However, the cooperation between the two countries is a big deal, even though Mo Luo wants to agree, but the decision is in the hands of my father. Please wait another day, I will make a decision after I send the letter to the father of the king."

Qiu Muheng got up and said, "Then I, please wait for the good news from Your Highness."

After the brothers and sisters left, Bao Longtu came silently from the forest beside him.

As soon as he stepped into the pavilion in the center of the lake, Xiaosi brushed his whisk, bowed deeply to Qiu Muheng, and led all the maidservants to retreat.

Qiu Muheng has been looking at him since he came over.When he approached and stood upright beside him, Qiu Muheng said indifferently: "Your face is serious, and you can talk if you have something to say."

Bao Longtu pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty..."

Qiu Muheng raised his hand and said, "Hey, sit down and talk."

Bao Longtu sighed and sat down opposite him.

Qiu Muheng frowned and said, "Where to sit?"

Seeing that Bao Longtu frowned in confusion, Qiu Muhengda had an expression of "children can't be taught", hooked his fingers, and as soon as he stood up, he hugged him and pulled him to sit on his lap.

"emperor!"

"Oh, why are you panicking. They are sensible and have already retreated. What did you want to say just now? I promise you to say it."

shameless.

Bao Longtu was even more helpless, sighed, let him hold him, and sighed: "Since a hostage is needed, why didn't you order the minister to go?"

Qiu Muheng leaned on Bao Longtu's shoulder and said, "I'm not willing to put you in danger."

Bao Longtu said: "It's no wonder that the emperor has deliberately alienated his ministers in front of Da Yueshi these few days. He didn't want to be seen through by them. I am on the emperor's side."

Qiu Muheng said: "If you go 'this way', I will be happier."

When welcoming the Da Yue Clan's mission before, Bao Longtu had to wait outside the palace and was not allowed to enter with a group of important officials.In fact, although his official rank is only third rank, he is fully qualified to enter because he is favored and in charge of public security in the capital.It turned out that the emperor had planned this.

"The only mistake was when I was talking to Moyena, I ordered you to go with me. At that time, I just wanted you to listen to me and give me advice. Thanks to the stupid little princess, I didn't think about it. But..."

Qiu Muheng smiled, with a look of color on his face: "Although Mo Liang's status is humble, he is definitely useful to them."

Bao Longtu said: "Mo Liang and Wei Lan, not to mention that they are the emperor, they have devoted themselves to the court, and they are utterly loyal. In the past, their father still favored us, the emperor really shouldn't..."

Qiu Muheng interrupted him and said, "You want to say I'm ruthless?"

Bao Longtu let out a long breath.He didn't say anything, but he answered.

Qiu Muheng said: "I know you blame me. Why don't I want to have both benevolence and righteousness? But in this world, there are many people who can't help themselves. Especially those in power, there is always a trade-off when weighing the pros and cons. The bigger the goal, the greater the sacrifice. There will be more and more. Everyone envies me that I am the emperor, sitting in the mountains and rivers, but who knows that the emperor is the biggest prisoner in the world, the prisoner of the mountains and rivers."

Bao Longtu felt sour in his heart.

In fact, how could he not know?

Therefore, when the emperor made a series of decisions, sometimes even though he was confused, even when he felt that there was something wrong, he never refuted it.

For example, what kind of murderous intentions are hidden in this negotiation with the Da Yuezhi.

Bao Longtu is proficient in the languages ​​of the eight countries in the Western Regions, so he also has a grasp of their local culture.

At the beginning, Sister Chui set up Bao Longtu's personality as: "Read poetry and books, learn Chinese and Western, have profound knowledge, and be full of economics."

His grasp of the geology of the Western Regions is probably much more than that of the kings of the Western Regions.

Why did the emperor insist on advocating extensive reclamation in Da Yuezhi?Are you even willing to pay a lot of manpower and material resources to help them farm?

On the surface, it is true that for the peace of the people on the border, for the future stability of all the people in the Western Regions, and for the gradual realization of the ideals and ambitions of Confucian sages—the great harmony of the world, all brothers in the four seas.

So Qiu Muheng didn't care about these expenses.

Because the return is far more than the pay.

However, in the vicissitudes of life, maintaining peace has never been easy, and it will not last long.A hundred years later, when he passed away, he had to think about how the world would look like.

Therefore, in order to keep the territory of the Great Wei inviolable, he devoted himself to promoting reclamation throughout the Western Regions.

Reclamation means logging and deforestation.Bao Longtu had read many ancient books and deduced that the soil in the Western Regions was different from that in the Central Plains.The surface of the soil seems to be fertile, with luxuriant fresh grass stretching and clear streams flowing continuously, but underneath the soil, there is quicksand, not the compacted land like in the Central Plains.

Today's Western Regions are so luxuriant and prosperous, and most of them are caused by the quicksand under the soil layer suppressed by vegetation.

Once these life-saving straws are felled wantonly, what will happen?

You should know that crops are different from trees, flowers and plants, they do not moisten the soil, but absorb it.

And the crops that Qiu Muheng provided free of charge were crops that would change the nature of the soil.

Once planted, the piece of land can only produce this kind of crop, and other crops will not grow at all.

Just imagine, when Da Yuezhi mastered the farming technology and thought that he no longer needed the seeds of Da Wei, and wanted to buy seeds from other places or grow them himself, the land would not grow crops.

Since then, Wei has monopolized the entire Western Regions and became their only supplier.

Just imagine that a hundred years later, the vegetation will be cut down, the rivers will disappear, the western regions will be covered with yellow sand, and the people will be displaced. At last, those who survived will have to migrate and leave this piece of land that used to survive but is now like a hell on earth. How did Da Wei laugh so loudly that he could finally say the last sentence with peace of mind, the world is peaceful?

The emperor said just now that the bigger the goal, the more sacrifices will be made.

For the eternal well-being of the people of Great Wei, he sacrificed the future stable life of all the people in the Western Regions.

Bao Longtu couldn't bear it, he didn't want to.But he is from the Great Wei after all.

Therefore, he was silent.

Qiu Muheng stared into his eyes.

He also knew that his Longtu would silently support him even though he felt that he had done something wrong.

Regardless of right or wrong, regardless of success or failure, just stand by his side wholeheartedly, loyally assisting him, and never leaving him.

"Don't worry about Mo Liang's matter. The little princess loves him, so naturally she won't make things difficult. Besides, if Mo Liang becomes the son-in-law of the Da Yue Clan in the future, enjoying the glory and wealth, and being a bridge of friendship between the two countries, wouldn't it be better than that?" It's much more rewarding to be a head catcher in your government office?"

At least during their lifetimes, the disasters he had hidden in the Western Regions would not be revealed.

He pulled Bao Longtu's chin, and said frivolously: "Or is it that Longtu is very reluctant to let go of Mo Liang, and doesn't want him to leave his side for a moment?"

Bao Longtu sighed: "The emperor is teasing the minister again. In the minister's heart, there is only one person, and it will always be that person."

"Oh? But I don't know who that person is?"

Ask knowingly.

Bao Longtu rolled his eyes.

"The emperor, of course the emperor."

"Didn't you say that there is no need to distinguish between monarchs and ministers when there is no one else? It's just that I have no memory."

Qiu Muheng smiled and kissed his lips.

Bao Longtu closed his eyes and responded silently.

Since the heart has followed him, it is his.Don't ask right or wrong.

The two of them worked together to play this game of chess for too long.Now that it is coming to an end, my heart is not as relaxed as when I made the heavy oath back then.

Although the emperor kept saying that as an emperor, as a master, it is natural to weigh the pros and cons, be selfless and ruthless.But Bao Longtu understood that there was also a soft part in his heart.The heart will also hurt.

Since you are a partner, you should accompany the king at such a time.

So tonight, he wanted to take the initiative to stay with him.

During the kiss, he whispered in Qiu Muheng's ear.

However, Qiu Muheng followed his shoulder and saw that in the forest not far away, a person bowed deeply to him.

It was the shadow guard he sent to find Wei Lan.

Are you here?

Qiu Muheng ended the kiss, gently helped Bao Longtu away, and said with a smile: "If I want to make sure everything is safe on my wedding day, I will need you to do a lot of planning. If you win this game, you and I will have a lot of happy days in the future." , not in a hurry tonight."

Suddenly there was an eagle howling in the sky.The eagle flew by, a scene that the people of Wei had never seen.

Qiu Muheng smiled, patted his hands, and said, "Go. Mo Luo has already acted, we cannot lose to anyone."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

When Wei Lan was ill before, when Mo Liang sneaked into the palace to find medicine for Wei Lan, he silently said to the little emperor in his heart that you are a dragon among men, and you will fly up sooner or later.Now, this sentence has come true.
