Chapter 103 New Era, New Rules

Mu Tiantao lowered his head and was silent for a moment and said, "Wait a minute." ”

He got up and went into the study, and a moment later took out a map made of silk and placed it on the low table in front of everyone.

Zhu Chunchen, Duke of Chengguo, Zhu Guobi, Duke of Baoguo, Zhang Jinyan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Wei Dezao, the first assistant, immediately surrounded the four heads.

As soon as Wei Dezao copied it, he held the silk silk in his hand and said to the other three: "This is the national funds embezzled by Cao Thief, and we will deal with it after the old man finds out." ”

Zhu Chunchen, Zhu Guobi, and Zhang Jinyan obviously had something to say, but under Zhu Chunchen's eyes, they stopped talking.

Zhu Chunchen said with a smile: "The son of the world is a heart for the country, and the old man already knows, but I don't know if this treasure map is true or false?" ”

Mu Tiantao continued to hang his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Mu Tiantao came to the capital, just to die, and the wealth has long been out of his eyes, even if the military salary collected before, except for some purchased ordnance, the rest will be handed over to Your Majesty."

Cao Gong entrusted the treasure to me before he died, Mu Tiantao felt a great responsibility, and he couldn't sleep for days and nights, because he was worried that he would not be able to fulfill Cao Gong's wish, so that Cao Gong's spirit in the sky could not rest in peace.

Now, with Lord Shoufu and three important ministers of the country, I am just entrusting this matter to you.

Now, the big thing is over, and Mu Tiantao is just fighting with the thieves without any worries! ”

The four Ming ministers looked at the scars on Mu Tiantao's body suspiciously, and Zhu Guobi wanted to say something, but Wei Dezao pulled his sleeves and swallowed the suspicious words into his stomach again.

Mu Tiantao didn't dare to raise his head, he was very worried that once he raised his head, the contempt in his eyes that he couldn't hide no matter what, would be seen by these four people.

"Don't worry, there is only this one copy of the map, Mu Tiantao swears by the ancestor of Mu Wangfu, if he hides his secrets, he will teach me that Mu Wangfu will be wiped out, and the people of the whole clan will never be born!"

Hearing Mu Tiantao make such a poisonous oath, Zhu Chunchen and Zhu Guobi believed it first, and they were both nobles who knew very well that this kind of curse-like oath would not be said by all the children of the family.

Now, Mu Tiantao said, then, the authenticity of this map is more than eighty percent.

After getting the things, these four important ministers didn't even bother to do the superficial etiquette, and left the Mu Wangfu with Wei Dezao.

Waiting for the four of them to leave, Mu Tiantao laughed loudly, and finally fell to the ground with tears streaming down his face.

After a long time, a long time, Mu Tiantao stood up with his chair and sat quietly on the main seat again without saying a word.

Xue Xiucai said in a low voice: "Shizi, the soldiers and horses they brought have retreated. ”

Mu Tiantao wiped a handful of tears and smiled: "They don't dare to fight us." They don't even have the courage to fight among themselves. ”

Xue Xiucai said in a low voice: "So, Cao Gong's treasure? ”

Mu Tiantao shook his head and said, "Where did the treasure of Cao Gong come from, it is just a means for Cao Huachun to use us to fight for his interests." ”

Xue Xiucai nodded and said, "Now that the matter is over, the prince should also find another good plan." ”

Mu Tiantao shook his head and said: "Don't plan, as long as we leave the capital, Li Hongji's soldiers and horses will definitely leave us a way to live, just at present, no one wants to fight, even Li Hongji is not willing to use force when he can take the capital without blood." ”

Xue Xiucai was stunned for a moment and said, "Why is this?" ”

Mu Tiantao said gloomily: "With the general thoughts of the four Ming ministers who came just now, the thieves think that as long as they enter the capital, they can seize countless wealth, and as long as they enter the capital, their children will be given what they want."

Success is just around the corner, everyone is in a hurry to enter the city, who wants to intercept our army of officers and soldiers fleeing in confusion? ”

Xue Xiucai sighed and said, "So good, so good." ”

Mu Tiantao looked at the willow tree outside the window that had sprouted, broke one branch and handed it to Xue Xiucai and said, "You go to Jiading Bofu and give this willow branch to the princess, she may not have noticed that spring has come." ”

"Shall we take the princess with us?"

Mu Tiantao shook his head and said, "She should have a better place to go." ”

When Xue Xiucai rode to Jiadingbo's mansion, Zhu Yujiao was in Jiadingbo's mansion, and it seemed that this mansion was already her final say.

Jiadingbo's family was all crammed into the backyard, turning a blind eye to what was happening in the front yard and the middle yard.

After seeing the princess, he handed the willow branch in his hand to the princess, and also brought what Mu Tiantao said.

Zhu Yujiao pinched the willow branches, lowered her head and carefully looked at the leaf buds that had burst, and some purple furry things seemed to be about to break out of their shells.

"It turns out that it's spring."

As he spoke, he untied his bun, cut off a lock of hair with his dagger, put it in a beautiful bag and handed it to Xue Xiucai: "Tell Mu Lang that this heart belongs to it forever." ”

Xue Xiucai said worriedly: "There are so many bandits in the city, the princess moved to Muwangfu, and everyone has a good idea to take care of." ”

Zhu Yujiao shook her head and said nothing.

Xue Xiucai sighed, and then said goodbye and returned to King Mu's mansion.

It's still the same wooden building.

It's just that today, it's steaming in the wooden building.

After a night of cold wind blowing outside last night, Xia Wanchun was ready to eat a hot pot to comfort himself after waking up in the city.

In the capital in early spring, it was difficult to find some green vegetables, but since it was Xia Wanchun who wanted to eat hot pot, the people in black still found enough green vegetables.

For example, spinach, leeks, and bok choy are not lacking.

With the addition of tofu, vermicelli, and mutton, it is very hearty.

To eat mutton shabu, the knife technique must be good.

After Xia Wanchun got everything in order, the sword master Han Lingshan also appeared.

I saw that he was as fast as a dragon, as fast as lightning, and in an instant, he cut half a pot of mutton slices in a pot of boiling water.

Han Lingshan's kung fu is the best in Jade Mountain.

Even if someone is faster than him, he can cut the mutton into slices of uniform thickness and size with each knife, and this is the only one.

"Good knife technique."

"After serving your master to eat shabu mutton for ten years, you can also practice."

"No, it should be the knife technique that you practiced after eating shabu mutton with my master for ten years."

Han Lingshan thought for a moment and said, "That's true, I also eat every meal." ”

Xia Wanchun said dissatisfiedly: "Since you also eat, then don't be so mean to my master." ”

"There's one thing your master can't learn in your life."

"What are you capable of?"

"The ability to subtly change a person and drive it."

"My master has changed you?"

"yes."

"How did it change?"

Han Lingshan looked at Xia Wanchun's big eyes full of curiosity, touched his head and said, "I don't know, he started to drive me as if he started to do him a small favor......"

"And this little favor made you very helpful?"

"Yes, he has a lot of candy to share with his brothers and sisters in the academy, and he can't be busy alone......"

Xia Wanchun snorted and said, "In the end, only the two of you have no candy to eat, right?" ”

Han Lingshan frowned and said, "It's not that he won't give me food, it's that he has no candy." ”

Xia Wanchun continued: "Then two people who don't have candy watch other brothers and sisters eat candy, and although they drool, they don't regret it? ”

Han Lingshan nodded and said, "I was looked at by Gao." ”

Xia Wanchun said without thinking: "Then he asked you for help more often, and a small favor became a small favor, and finally evolved into helping him kill people and intercept goods?" ”

Han Lingshan said: "That's true, I've always suspected that this is a profound science, and now I get the answer from your mouth, and it's true." ”

Xia Wanchun fished a lot of meat into Han Lingshan's bowl and piled it in the bowl, and said in surprise: "How can you remember these past events?" ”

Han Lingshan pushed the meat in the bowl to Xia Wanchun and said, "If you deal with your master and apprentice, you will be thundered by the sky." ”

Xia Wanchun poured some red oil soup on the mutton, ate a bowl of mutton beautifully, and when he put down the chopsticks again, the mutton in the pot was gone.

Han Lingshan swallowed the last mutton and said to Xia Wanchun: "I'm glad that your master is a person with high skills. ”

Xia Wanchun said: "Because of Daming's tragic situation at the moment? ”

Han Lingshan nodded and said, "I finally understand why the master set up this congress now. ”

Xia Wanchun said: "This is my master's noble practice of returning the government to the people. ”

"!"

"Fart, but it's not noble, it smells too bad."

"The royal family is the royal family, and the Lantian royal family will be one for eternity!"

Xia Wanchun said: "This is nature. ”

"However, the state minister can be changed constantly."

"It's also inevitable."

"In the future, the power of the prime minister will even surpass that of the emperor!"

"That's what it is, except for military affairs, the emperor generally doesn't care about the national economy and people's livelihood."

Seeing Xia Wanchun's answer like this, Han Lingshan breathed a sigh of relief and changed the topic: "How are you going to send the princess and her party out of the capital?" ”

Xia Wanchun said: "Hao Shaoqi's soldiers and horses will appear at Changyi Gate, when the time comes, we will come out, and he will be the first to enter." ”

After speaking, he saw that Han Lingshan was still staring at him.

Xia Wanchun said again: "When you first came out of the mountain, you had very little power to rely on, and you had to rely on your own ingenuity to deal with the enemy, and I believe that this process was very difficult.

Countless ancestors of my Lantian have shed their blood for this, just to make Lantian stronger.

Now, we're strong, very strong.

At this time, we will no longer use those adventurous paths.

Just like when we watched Mu Tiantao fight outside the city this morning, I said that I am still very smart, but I want to use my cleverness in other places, and this kind of thing that can be achieved through our equipment or force, or ability, will be as simple as possible.

The tricks you came up with when you racked your brains back then are not necessarily as good as what I do now, and the results that Mu Tiantao worked so hard to create are not as good as the results that I used to push horizontally with the Jin Ge Iron Horse when I was in Hexi.

Uncle Lingshan, our era has begun, you must learn to play in a new way in the new era, otherwise, I will soon be able to take your place, as for you, it is very likely that you will enter the congress as my Lantian patriarch, drink tea, read the newspaper......"
