The Rebirth Of The General Who Always Sees Himself As A Replacement

Hearing that the crown prince Fu Qi supervised the country, Mu Zhiming's figure swayed slightly, and he supported himself on the desk to stabilize himself. He looked at Fu Ji'an and forced himself to calm down: "When did this happen?"

Fu Ji'an replied: "A month ago." At this point, he seemed afraid to say something, his expression moved slightly, and he asked Mu Zhiming with his eyes.

Mu Zhiming knew what he meant, and said: "Don't worry, this mansion has no eyes and ears, I checked it when I came back, all the servants are old people from Mu's mansion, don't worry that the walls have ears."

Then Fu Ji'an said: "There are rumors that the father is already writing an edict to abolish the crown prince. He has summoned the Zhongshu Ling to face the saint in the Xuande Hall many times. Who would have thought that his condition would suddenly worsen and he would fall into a coma! There are many people who dissent, but Fu Qi suppresses them with an iron fist, and anyone who dissents will either be demoted or dismissed, and his family will be affected because of this, as time goes by, no one dares to speak out."

Mu Zhiming: "He is still a legitimate prince now, so he naturally has the confidence, and the queen's relatives have tried to do politics for many years. Once he has gained real power, without the emperor's control, he will cut off your wings in various names."

Fu Ji'an was annoyed: "The courtiers close to me, even those who did not question his supervision of the country, were all demoted by him. Among them, how many of them are loyal to the Jin Dynasty and have no second thoughts, I don't understand. If you recklessly rectify the court, aren't you afraid that when your father recovers from illness, you will blame him for disobeying the ancestor's precepts and only wreaking havoc on the people?"

Mu Zhiming suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "Jian, do you still have the Mingqian Longjing tea leaves that you drank with me that day?"

Fu Ji'an said: "No more, I have given all the Mingqian Longjing that my father bestowed on me to Dr. Kuang."

Mu Zhiming: "Ji'an, now that the crown prince is in charge of the country, and I have no official position, I cannot enter the palace at will. If you find a chance to enter the palace, go to the Imperial Medical Office and ask Dr. Kuang where he hides the tea leaves. Be sure to ask him." Bring it to me, remember to cover up your eyes and ears, the prince's minions will be watching your every move closely."

Fu Jian nodded: "Okay."

Mu Zhiming: "Ji'an, you and I will walk on thin ice from now on, and if we make a mistake, we may die without a place to die."

Fu Ji'an was extremely calm: "I have realized it long ago. Since ancient times, the power and strategy have always been sacrificed to the world with blood?"

Mu Zhiming sighed, and asked: "His Royal Highness King Su, what action will you take regarding the matter of the crown prince supervising the country?"

"Brother Wuhuang?" Fu Ji'an said, "Brother Wuhuang was close to me since childhood, and Fu Qi was not friendly to him. My brother's father-in-law is also the commander of the imperial army, Xiang Rushan, so he should be safe to protect himself, and during the period when the crown prince is in charge of the country, I will not walk around with him again, so as not to implicate him."

Mu Zhiming: "...Jian..."

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Fu Ji'an was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Mu Zhiming: "Forget it, the most important thing now is to pass the prince's test."

Fu Jian: "Brother Mu, you should be more worried about General Gu than Brother Wuhuang."

As if being slapped in the face, Mu Zhiming's breath was stagnant, and he looked at Fu Ji'an with trembling eyes, he said: "Fu Qi wants to activate the Flame Army?! But Gu Heyan has never participated in party struggles, and the Flame Army he led is even more loyal , What is the relationship between this treacherous situation of fighting for fame and fortune in the court and the clean soldiers?"

Fu Ji'an said: "Brother Mu, you have always been smart, how could you be so confused when you met General Gu? Prince Fu Qi regards you as a thorn in my side, and General Gu is married to you again. How could Prince Fu Qi not regard General Gu as a thorn in your side? You and my party member, he has a high position and power, and he holds military power, Fu Qi will never tolerate him."

Mu Zhiming took two steps back in a daze, and slammed his waist against the edge of the desk with a bang, knocking the inkstone on the table to the ground.

The inkstone fell to the ground, and the ink was spilled on the carpet, but for a moment, there was no bright brocade pattern, only the lingering blackness.

After Mu Zhiming returned to the Marquis' Mansion, Gu Heyan also rode his horse to the General's Mansion.

Wen Zhongcheng welcomed him into the mansion at the door, took the rein in his hand, and said: "Master, I heard that you are returning to Beijing today, and a young soldier came to the mansion early in the morning to wait."

Gu Heyan: "Where is he?"

Wen Zhongcheng: "I'm waiting in the side hall."

Gu Heyan: "I'll go right away."

Gu Heyan was full of travel and dust, and he didn't even care about drinking water, so he went straight to the side hall of the mansion.

In the side hall, a 20-year-old young soldier in blue-gray clothes was pacing back and forth, waiting anxiously.

He is Hao Tianqin, deputy lieutenant of Zhaowu of the Rongyan Army.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Deputy Hao suddenly looked up and saw that it was Gu Heyan who came. His face was overjoyed, and he immediately knelt down on one knee in a military salute: "I have seen the general!!!"

"Tianqin?" Gu Heyan stepped forward to help him, "Please get up quickly, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"

"General." Hao Tianqin said anxiously, "You can be counted as coming back. One day later, General Wei will leave."

"What?" Gu Heyan frowned, "Where is General Wei going?"

He complained of illness before, the emperor had a decree, and the military affairs of the Rongyan Army were all in charge of the military affairs of the Rongyan Army, Wei Lingyun, how could he leave?

Hao Tianqin: "The crown prince ordered General Wei to lead the [-] Rongyan Army to the northeast frontier."

Gu Heyan was puzzled: "Northeast frontier?"

The northeast border is north of Baicheng, adjacent to Gouji Kingdom, but Gouji has good relations with Dajin now, so why did he suddenly send troops to garrison.

Gu Heyan: "Is there a war?"

Hao Tianqin shook his head: "No."

Gu Heyan: "Then why did you let General Wei leave the capital?"

Hao Tianqin: "I don't know, the crown prince didn't go into details, but just gave this order, the general will follow me to the Luodu Camp, General Wei wants to see you."

"Okay." Gu Heyan nodded, and without resting, he and Hao Tianqin left the General's Mansion.

Luodu Camp, a military camp located in the north of the capital, is stationed with [-] soldiers of the Melting Flame Army.

Gu Heyan rushed to Luodu camp and met Wei Lingyun in the coach's tent.

Wei Lingyun was over forty years old and was born early. Since Gu Miao passed away, Wei Lingyun, as Gu Miao's righteous brother, has always treated Gu Heyan as his own and taught him carefully.

"My uncle." Gu Heyan saluted.

"Get up." Wei Lingyun helped Gu Heyan up, "Xiaoyan, you should already know that I will lead the troops to the northeast tomorrow, right?"

"Yeah." Gu Heyan nodded and asked, "But I also heard that there is no war in the Northeast."

"Yes." Wei Lingyun nodded, "That's why I was in a hurry to meet you and tell you everything about the recent military affairs, lest you be out of the capital for the past three months and suddenly take over the military affairs when you come back and get confused."

Gu Heyan: "Uncle, please tell me."

Wei Lingyun retreated to the left and right, and only spoke to Gu Heyan for the rest of the words. He sighed and worried: "Xiaoyan, since ancient times, military generals are most afraid of the king's suspicion and distrust. When your father was alive, he never got involved in government affairs and was careful in everything." , be cautious in every sentence, because you are afraid of being accused of 'taking credit and pride', but now, the Melting Flame Army has reached this point."

Gu Heyan frowned.

Wei Lingyun continued: "Now, the crown prince is in charge of the country. He has monopolized the imperial power for only one month, and he ordered me to lead [-] troops to leave the capital. Moreover, he also appointed his confidant as the supervisor."

Gu Heyan: "Supervisors? Ever since the establishment of the Melting Flame Army, there has never been a supervisor."

Wei Lingyun: "In addition to the matter of supervising the army, if you look at the current Melting Flame Army, it has been split into three parts. Twenty thousand will follow me to the northeast, [-] will be stationed in the northwest border to defend against Xi Rong, and [-] will continue to garrison Luoyang. Du Daying, this is not a good omen, we should tell everyone to be more cautious in their words and deeds, and we must not let the crown prince have any more suspicions and doubts about us."

Gu Heyan: "Thank you uncle for telling me, I understand."

Wei Lingyun stopped talking, patted Gu Heyan on the shoulder, told him to take care of himself, and then left the riding horse and set off to catch up with the large army.

Gu Heyan watched Wei Lingyun leave outside the Luodu camp. His armor was heavy, dust was flying, and the twilight was pleasant. Between the sky and the earth, Gu Heyan was as quiet as a rock, silent for a long time.

In the dead of night, Gu Heyan returned to the General's Mansion.

He didn't enter the mansion immediately, but stood in front of the simple general's mansion, looking up at the red-bottomed plaque of 'Gu Mansion'.

Wen Zhongcheng came out to lock the door, and when he saw Gu Heyan standing there, he was taken aback for a moment, and hurried forward: "Master, why are you standing here, it's so windy and cold, go in quickly, Mr. Mu is waiting for you in your room! "

"He's there?" Gu Heyan looked at Wen Zhongcheng, his eyes sparkling.

"Yes, here you are. I came in the evening. I heard that you went to Luodu Daying, so I waited in the room." Before listening to Wen Zhongcheng's words, Gu Heyan strode inside.

In the east wing, the candlelight shines through the window and falls on the sycamore leaves swaying with the breeze.

Gu Heyan pushed the door open, and Mu Zhiming, who was sitting at the table flicking the candle and waiting quietly, stood up: "Heyan, are you back?"

Gu Heyan: "Yes."

Mu Zhiming picked up the porcelain pot and cup on the wooden table, poured a glass of water and handed it to Gu Heyan: "Sit down and rest, I heard that you were immediately called to the Luodu camp by the young soldiers as soon as you returned to the mansion. It must be coming and going in such a hurry that I can't even take a sip of water."

"Thank you." Gu Heyan's mouth was really dry and he felt a little tired. He took the water glass and drank it down.

"Have you had dinner yet?" Mu Zhiming asked.

Gu Heyan shook his head.

Mu Zhiming: "Sit down and wait for me."

With that said, Mu Zhiming left the wing room, and after a while, he came back with the wooden tray in his hand.

On the wooden tray, there are two plates of delicate side dishes, a plate of crispy shortbread, and a bowl of steaming white rice porridge that looks glutinous and delicious.

Mu Zhiming put the food on the table one by one: "I haven't eaten either, I will eat with you when you come back."

Gu Heyan said, "Don't wait next time."

Mu Zhiming smiled, and sat down beside Gu Heyan: "I can't answer you, if I answer, I'm lying. I learned how to cook this white rice porridge from Aunt Liang. Try it."

Gu Heyan stared at the porridge in front of him: "Did you cook it?"

Mu Zhiming: "Yes, because waiting is really boring, so I went to the back kitchen to learn from Aunt Liang. It's not difficult to cook porridge. Just wash the rice and put water, just wait."

Gu Heyan picked up the porridge bowl, lowered his head and drank a few spoonfuls, and swallowed the hot porridge whole: "It's delicious."

Mu Zhiming said: "General, what's so delicious about a bowl of white porridge? Your name is Aiwujiwu."

Gu Heyan paused every word: "No, it just tastes good."
