Lingnan

Zhong Jingying didn't expect that the Wen family brothers said to help him, to help him sit on the throne of King of Lingnan.

Now, he has everything he wants.

As for Lingnan's political affairs, on the one hand, he is too lazy to care about those things; on the other hand, he is terrified of Alpha, who represents Xifan, and wishes to hide in the depths of the Lingnan palace, so he naturally agrees to Alpha, who assisted him to ascend the throne. All requests and affairs were handed over to Wen Rumo and the officials recommended by Wen Ruyan to deal with.

The two brothers Wen Rumo and Wen Ruyan don't live in the palace very much now, and they have been busy with Alpha Furong planting and some silk, porcelain and tea trading companies.

When the official of the palace reported that Chi Ranzhi would lead troops to quell the chaos in Lingnan, Zhong Jingying, who was bored and immersed in drugs, opened a pair of cloudy eyes from the smoke. He was very thin. At this moment, only those eyes Outbursts of startling brightness and malice:

"He's here?! That's great! Be sure to catch me alive! Catch him alive!"

Su Mu gave birth for a long time, so he didn't go directly to the East Palace the next morning, but stayed in the Imperial College for the whole morning, went to the East Palace in the afternoon, and then returned to the Ministry of Industry.

After getting off the Yamen, Su Mu came to Yunxiang Restaurant.

While the dandies were laughing and joking around, Su Mu, who was sitting in the middle, said, "The western suburbs are almost there. I will be stationed in the western suburbs after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the rest will be left to everyone."

The dandies gave him a look while pretending to be playful: don't worry!Just look!

The next day is the Mid-Autumn Festival. In the morning, there will be a court meeting, and at noon, a state banquet will be held for all officials to congratulate. After a half-day bath in the afternoon, all officials will go home to reunite with their families. In the evening, a family banquet will be held in the palace to celebrate the festival.

Su Mu came to the East Palace in the morning, and after attending the Great Court Meeting, he and the Prince, Xiao Shuo and Xie Jianyu went to the Empress Dowager to pay their respects.

Along the way, Xiao Shuo wandered around Su Mu without a pause: "I said little cousin, quickly call cousin to listen."

Su Mu followed behind the prince, so he didn't bother to talk to him.

Xiao Shuo tugged at Su Mu's hair for a while, and tugged at the corner of Su Mu's clothes for a while, "No, you are already called Prince Cousin and Big Brother, you must call me Cousin, or you can also be called Second Brother. Hurry~"

Su Mu angrily turned around and kicked him, Xiao Shuo easily dodged.

Su Mu stood there and stared at him.

Xiao Shuo walked up to Su Mu very out of shape, "Okay, okay, stingy. How about letting you kick me and call me Second Brother?"

Su Mu lifted his foot and kicked him hard, then said, "Bah." Turning around and running away.

Xiao Shuo stared at Su Mu in disbelief, and stretched out his hand to grab him. Su Mu had already run to the prince and hugged the prince's arm: "Brother, he bullies me, you should take care of him!"

The prince looked at Xiao Shuo and said leisurely, "Suo'er..."

The tall and burly Xiao Shuo immediately hugged the prince's other arm and acted coquettishly: "Cousin prince, look at Su Mu, he clearly agreed, but after kicking me, he not only didn't call my second brother, but also pissed me off." one time……"

Prince: "..."

Su Mu stretched out his foot to kick Xiao Shuo again, and the two of them pestered the prince and walked to the Empress Dowager's Ciqing Palace.

Xie Jianyu followed behind with a smile, his eyes fell on Su Mu who took the opportunity to sneak up on Xiao Shuo, his peach blossom eyes were shining brightly.

Ciqing Palace

The queen mother, empress, concubines and princesses were all there, and some clan children came to pay their respects, and it was very lively.

Mrs. An Guo, as a close friend who accompanied the queen mother for most of her life, was with the queen mother. She saw Su Mu coming with the prince and others from a distance.

Although the crown prince and Su Mu seem to have a good brotherhood, the queen...

I'm afraid this will not be allowed to continue.

And in the harem, the only one who can compete with the queen may be the queen mother.

This is the only thing she can do for this savior afterwards.

The queen mother patted Mrs. Anguo's hand, looked at Su Mu, and then at the queen, thoughtfully.After Su Mu and the prince greeted him, they invited Su Mu to come over and asked many questions, until Su Mu looked at the prince uncomfortably, and then let Su Mu, the prince and others go out to play.

The queen remained calm and said nothing.

At noon, the state banquet was held in the Xuanzheng Hall, and Su Mu sat with the prince.At the last court meeting, all the officials saw the prince protecting the calf. This time, after seeing the two brothers, they were finally sure that they were right. Whether it was the faction that supported the prince or the faction that supported Su Mu There was silence.

Good guy, they fight to the death and life every day, the undercurrent is raging, but the righteous master is respecting brothers and sisters?

However, the allure of Conglongzhigong is too great.

Apart from doubting life, some speculators began to use their brains.

By the evening's family dinner, Su Mu was already a little drowsy.

Because it is a festival for family reunion, this time the royal family banquet was held by the Taiye Lake in the Imperial Garden, and there were no seats for men and women. The emperor, empress, and queen mother sat at the top, and the others sat at separate tables. Su Mu, Xiao Shuo, Xie Jianyu and other princelings sat at a table.

The princelings are quite familiar with Su Mu, and they all took the small toys that Su Mu brought back from Jiangnan, but ever since Su Mu became a prince from a son-in-law, he has been a little awkward. However, seeing the prince and Su Mu at noon today Everyone was at a loss for Mu's relationship with each other.

After the entire dinner, everyone heard His Royal Highness showing off his younger brother in a fancy way. While speechless, they also understood that even if the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, Su Mu will be a rich and idle prince.Looking at the way Su Mu looked at the prince, he knew that even if Su Mu ascended the throne in the future, the prince would be safe and sound.

So, that awkwardness disappeared.Those with younger brothers began to compare themselves with His Highness the Crown Prince, while those without younger brothers added fuel and vinegar to the side, enjoying themselves happily.

The bright moon hung high, amidst the lively sound, Su Mu looked up at the bright full moon in the night sky, and was stunned for a long time.

Among the flowers and trees in the distance, Mo Xiao was in the shadows, staring at Su Mu for a long time, followed Su Mu's gaze to the bright moon in the sky, silent.

Zhen Guogong Mansion

After the palace banquet, the grandson and grandson of Zhen Guogong gathered in the study.

After listening to the report of the leader of the dead men in the mansion, the grandson of the Duke of Zhen swung him away, closed the door, looked at Duke of Zhen, and said indifferently:

"All the assassins were killed before they could get close to Su Mu. There are too many guards around Su Mu, the Dragon Shadow Guard, the Inner Palace Supervisor, and some of them seem to be the hidden guards Chi Ranzhi prepared for him, with layers of protection, Can't get close at all.

And all the people we can use in the palace have rejected the assassination mission because..."

The elder son walked up and down in the study, and when he heard the words, he looked at the elder grandson with a bad feeling: "What?"

Grandson: "Because the Queen's aunt has already told them, no one is allowed to touch Su Mu."

Prince: "..."

The grandson looked at the son, then at the Duke of Zhen who was sitting on the chair, and frowned slightly: "Grandfather, father, you were silent about the prince last time, can you tell me now what is going on?" ?”

Zhenbei Wangfu

Xiao Shuo: "I thought the queen's aunt would attack Su Mu. I was very vigilant during the palace banquet all day, but I didn't expect anything to happen. Besides, my aunt seems to be not right tonight. She keeps staring at Su Mu from time to time. Look. And for a moment, if I'm not mistaken, my aunt looked at Su Mu...as if she was looking at her own child..."

The eldest and third child of the Xiao family: "Is there? Why didn't we see it?"

Xiao Shuo glared at the two of them, then looked at King Zhenbei: "Father, what is going on..."

King Zhenbei was not in high spirits today. He walked to the window and looked up at the bright moon. After a long time, he sighed softly: "The Queen, your mother, and Concubine Xue have grown up together since childhood, and they are married to Jinlan. sisters."

The three Xiao Shuo brothers: "???"

Zhen Guogong Mansion

It took a while for the grandson of Duke Zhen to say: "You mean, Concubine Xue is the prince's cousin's godmother? And although the prince was young at that time, he still remembers it?"

The prince of Zhen Guogong sighed: "Back then, the empress had difficulty in childbirth, and it was Concubine Xue who used the ancient recipes of the ancient country to help deliver the baby, so the mother and child were safe."

The grandson was silent for a long time, looking at the two of them: "Then you..."

Zhenbei Wangfu

Xiao Shuo: "Since that's the case, why didn't you save the ancient country back then?"

The king of Zhenbei looked at the bright moon with his hands behind his back, and said for a long time, "The war in the Qian Dynasty had just subsided, but the threat had not been lifted. Choose to protect yourself. Moreover, Anbu of the royal family of the ancient country is very powerful. Everyone thought that no matter what, the royal family of the ancient country could safely come to Qian Dynasty to take refuge under the protection of Anbu.

King Zhenbei lowered his eyes: "Not long after Concubine Xue passed away, your mother... also went with her."

The three Xiao Shuo brothers: "..."

Zhen Guogong Mansion

Lord Zhen Guo said indifferently: "The reason why we didn't rescue them back then is because everyone thought that although the ancient parliament fell, the royal family of the ancient country should be able to take refuge in the Qian Dynasty. Unexpectedly, Anbu disappeared and the royal family died for the country."

"Of course, those are all excuses. The reason why I insist on not saving it is because if the ancient country is still there, then Concubine Xue's child is too much of a threat."

Duke Zhen's eyes became sharper, and he looked at his grandson who had high hopes: "The power struggle of the royal family has never been sympathetic since ancient times."

Grandson: "..."

On August [-]th, the [-]th birthday of the Duke of Zhen, a grand banquet was held in the newly built Fushou Building in the mansion of the Duke of Zhen.

The Fushou Building has five floors, and the architecture is very elegant. It is full of antique treasures collected by Lord Zhen Guo for many years, and all visitors praise it.

Su Mu came to celebrate the birthday with the crown prince, and Xiao Shuo also came to celebrate the birthday on behalf of the Zhenbei Palace.

Looking at this Fushou Building, Su Mu lowered his eyes.

After fighting hard in the front, the instigator still wants to live a happy life?

Humph.

The crown prince and Su Mu just came for a cutscene, they got up and left shortly after celebrating the old man’s birthday, Xiao Shuo didn’t want to stay any longer and came out with them, Duke Zhen got up to see him off, but the crown prince didn’t let the old man move, only Xie Jianyu sent him off sent.

As soon as Xie Jianyu sent the three of them out, the Fushou Tower collapsed behind him.

Prince & Xiao Shuo & Xie Jianyu: "!!!"

Su Mu folded his hands and looked back: "Oh, it's collapsed."

……

Su Mu was always at the scene, seeing enough of the grandparents of Zhen Guogong and their party members being carried out with broken arms, broken legs and bloody heads, and went to the western suburbs the next day contentedly.

It has been less than a month since Chi Ranzhi went to war, and the news of victory is frequent.

The imperial army was in full swing, and the Xifan and Lingnan defenders had no resistance and retreated steadily. It took only three days to attack Lingnan City.

But Zhong Jingchen did not die, and was rescued by a local medical center together with his wife and children, and joined forces with Chi Ranzhi Li Yingwai to enter the Lingnan Palace.

Zhong Jingying, Zhong Jingyu and others were killed by Zhong Jingchen. The Wen family who colluded with Xifan was dug out from behind the scenes and fled with the Xifan people. The army drove the Xifan people back to the sea all the way. Zhong Jingchen bowed his head and pleaded guilty.

Jiangnan Wen's family property was confiscated, and the emperor bestowed it on Prince Leyi.

By the time of Frost's Fall, the Lingnan Rebellion was settled, and after the imperial court sent special personnel to take over, the army set off to return to Beijing. Zhong Jingchen and his wife and children went to Beijing to plead guilty.

It took only one and a half months from the expedition to Pingding, and the world was shocked.

Half a month later, on the winter solstice, the army to suppress the chaos arrived in the capital.

As they got closer to the city gate, the soldiers couldn't help looking at the coach Chi Ranzhi who was riding a tall horse.

This coach can be called a wise man on the battlefield, with clever calculations and strict military management, but he is a bit cold and unfathomable.The soldiers seldom saw him smile, and were a little afraid of him.

But approaching the capital, the coach's whole body is like a piece of ice that is gradually melting, more like a terrifying beast in the dark night, gradually illuminated by the rising sun, a little popular.

His cold face was even gradually stained with a smile, which was an expression that didn't appear even in the final victory.

The army could already see the gate of the city, and from a distance they could see the prince leading all the officials to greet him.

The corner of Chi Ranzhi's mouth curled into a slight smile, and his phoenix eyes patrolled the welcoming crowd, but he didn't see his little sticky bean bun.

The smile on the corner of his mouth stopped abruptly.
