Chapter 136, high-sounding
In fact, Mu Tinglan thought that it was really a very stupid thing for the third prince and the others to think of dealing with the General's Mansion. The grandfather is old, but his brother is still there, and only the grandfather and brother are still there, the existence of the General's Mansion is meaningful. They just want to win over the General's Mansion and destroy it if they can't. Have you ever thought that if the General's Mansion is gone, can they sit on the throne safely?
It’s not that Mu Tinglan is too confident in the General’s Mansion, this is just a fact. Nan Yong can fight many people, but there are really no ones who are intimidating like this in the General’s Mansion. Look at King Xinyang, he can fight and also win many battles, but his reputation is still not as great as his grandfather. This is a gap.
The General's Mansion has never been a stumbling block to the Nanyong people, unless someone wants to rebel. But the Third Prince and the others obviously do not understand this correctly. Perhaps they also know it, but they may also be afraid that someone will sleep soundly on the side of the bed.
Not everyone trusts the General's Mansion as much as Emperor Jiaxuan.
General Mu thought about it, but just shook his head. He thought about it and seemed that many people had this possibility, but if he thought about it carefully, he found that there seemed to be no big possibility.
"Grandfather, we can start with these people. As long as there is a suspicion, we will send someone to investigate." Mu Lingheng said, "As for the third prince, if the other party really passes through Concubine De, then we have really missed a lot of things before."
They all focused on the third prince and the Zheng family, but never thought that the other party would start from Concubine De.
Actually, it’s not their fault. After all, who would have thought that the other party would cooperate with a woman?
In this world, women are full of weaknesses and depend on men. Even if they are powerful women, they will still be criticized and looked down upon.
Don’t look at Mrs. Su now respects everyone, but in fact, when she insisted on going to the battlefield earlier, she was still blocked and ridiculed and disdained? Even though she won the battle later and even received the recognition of the previous emperor, she still suffered criticism in the end. It’s just that the most talked about at that time was the ladies and ladies of various families who were like Mrs. Su.
"Well, it's time to check again." General Mu said.
A concubine De was able to contact people from the north, and she would definitely shock many people's chins if she told them.
The three grandparents and grandsons talked in the study for more than an hour, and then they spent dinner before returning to Wuyou Pavilion.
I just arrived at Wuyou Pavilion, but found that someone was waiting for her in Wuyou Pavilion.
Seeing Gu Heng sitting next to the table drinking tea leisurely, those who didn't know thought he was the owner of Wuyou Pavilion? Mo Xiang was also surprised to see Gu Heng, but after thinking about what happened before and Mr. Chuan Heng beside Gu Heng, Mo Xiang was not so surprised.
Mr. Chuan Heng is so good at martial arts, it is easy to take Gu Heng into the General's Mansion to Wuyou Pavilion.
"Mr. Gu, we're meeting again after only a few hours." Mu Tinglan walked over and sat down opposite Gu Heng, "I don't know what's wrong with you?"
I just saw it at noon.
Gu Heng saw Mu Tinglan's face slightly gentle, "I have something to ask the princess for help."
"Why didn't Lord Gu say it before?" Mu Tinglan asked curiously.
Gu Heng put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Actually, I got a message before I came."
"What news?"
"Prince Heshuo seems to have left Mozhou."
"Prince Heshuo?" Mu Tinglan was stunned for a moment. It was indeed Lord Gu, and even Prince Heshuo cared about it.
Prince Heshuo is the current uncle, the younger brother of the late emperor. However, Prince Heshuo and the late emperor are more than ten years apart, and are only four or five years older than today. But Prince Heshuo has returned to the capital. In fact, Prince Heshuo is also very determined and is so relieved that Princess Chongyang stays alone in the capital. However, Prince Heshuo is not only one daughter Chongyang.
"That's right."
"But what's the matter? Maybe Prince Heshuo wants to go out for a walk and relax." Mu Tinglan said.
"The direction Prince Heshuo is indeed not going to the capital, but he is heading towards the southwest border." Gu Heng said, "The southwest border has always been the place where King Xinyang is stationed." He stopped.
Even if he heads towards the southwest border, he might go out for a trip, but he mentioned King Xinyang again?
"King Xinyang and Prince Heshuo are familiar with each other?" Prince Heshuo went to the southwest for King Xinyang? It is not wrong for King Xinyang to be in the capital now, but the generals left behind there are the confidants of King Xinyang.
Gu Heng nodded, "As far as I know, King Xinyang had a good relationship with Prince Heshuo earlier."
Although Prince Heshuo is older, it is not too different. It is not strange that young people have friendships with each other. "But this doesn't mean anything."
"I didn't think anything at first, but I knew that King Xinyang might be on the side of the third prince, so the situation was different." Gu Heng said, "The princess may not know that King Xinyang and the emperor were sworn brothers at the beginning, but King Xinyang had a very different relationship with Prince Heshuo before that."
King Chuxiong of Xinyang was actually not from An Cheng, and his family background was not as good as the princes of An Cheng, but he was just the son of a seventh-rank county magistrate of Chuzhou. He met Mu Ziyan by chance, and then came to An Cheng with Mu Ziyan. By chance, he became sworn brothers with Emperor Jiaxuan, who was the prince at the time. Now he ascended the throne, because of his unstable foundation and frequent border wars, he was also sent by Emperor Jiaxuan to the battlefield and became a famous general in a contemporary way, and was named King of the opposite sex.
Chu Xiong is also Nan Yong's only king of the opposite sex now.
The first person Chu Xiong met when he came to Ancheng was Prince Heshuo. He heard that Prince Heshuo had also troubled Mu Ziyan and Chu Xiong at that time. Mu Ziyan was not very opposed to Prince Heshuo, but Prince Heshuo and Chu Xiong did not fight each other and knew each other.
However, Prince Heshuo later left the capital and went to the fiefdom of Mozhou. The last time he returned to Ancheng was three years ago.
"Does Lord Gu doubt Prince Heshuo?" Mu Tinglan asked in surprise.
Gu Heng could not deny that he did have such suspicion.
“But is this possible?”
"So I want to ask the princess for help." Gu Heng said.
"What can I do?" Mu Tinglan said, "If Prince Heshuo came to the capital, I will naturally help, but in the southwest." She suddenly paused, then opened her eyes wide and looked at Gu Heng, "Does Lord Gu want his adoptive father to help?"
Gu Heng nodded, "The garrison general in the southwest of Wuzhen Kingdom is a capable general of King Xiaoyao. If Prince Heshuo really has something to do with King Xinyang, I believe they will also care very much."
"But there are only a few confidants of King Xinyang on the southwest border. Can they represent King Xinyang?" Mu Tinglan felt that if these two people had any conspiracy, Prince Heshuo would definitely not talk to these confidants of King Xinyang.
It is true that a confidant can trust, but many things are not something that a confidant should know, especially when someone has a conspiracy.
"There are also actions on the Crescent Moon Sect." Gu Heng said, "Although Lord Liu also sent someone to stare at the other side, he can't do much. I know that the general also keeps someone to stare at the Crescent Moon Sect there, so you can probably start from here. And King De'an may not stay in the capital for much time, and King Xiaoyao's movements are very fast."
Therefore, when the Emperor of Wuzhen Kingdom needed manpower, King De'an would not miss such an opportunity to benefit.
"Mr. Gu also suspected that the Crescent Sect had a relationship with King Xinyang or Prince Heshuo?" Mu Tinglan asked.
"It's just doubt." Consciousness is doubt, but there is no evidence. But evidence is often not needed.
Mu Tinglan pondered for a while before saying, "The Xinyang Palace has been very quiet these days."
Did Chu Ran stay at home and wait for marriage like that? Surely no, and the King of Xinyang has always stayed in the Xinyang Palace and refused to go out. Even his colleagues refused to make an appointment. He did not show off on the emperor's birthday, and this was not right.
"The surface is just quiet." Gu Heng said lightly.
Mu Tinglan suddenly looked at Gu Heng, thought for a while, and asked, "Master Gu seems to be very concerned about the matter of the Xinyang Palace." She had guessed that Gu Heng would deal with the Xinyang Palace, but Gu Heng and the Xinyang Palace in their previous life looked like they were not invading the river.
Could it be that she died too early that she could not see the wonderful part?
Gu Heng lowered his eyes and didn't say anything, but silence is sometimes the best answer.
"I will ask someone to bring a letter to my adoptive father when I look back." Mu Tinglan nodded and said.
"I thank the princess for this." Gu Heng said.
"We are in a cooperative relationship, and it is appropriate to help each other. Lord Gu is too polite." Mu Tinglan said with a smile.
"What the princess said is that I will naturally not be polite in the future." Gu Heng smiled faintly, and then said, "In this way, I need to pick up a few people from the princess. I wonder what the princess thinks?"
Mu Tinglan,… “Looking back, Lord Gu just went straight to Lan Mansion to find someone.”
After Gu Heng and Chuan Heng Youran left, Mu Tinglan asked Mo Xiang to come in and told her to send a message to Mo Yan, so that the Yinmen would pay more attention to Prince Heshuo's information and any movements from the Northwest Garage Force should not be missed. In addition, she wrote another letter and handed it to Hei Qi, asking Hei Qi to pass it back to Master Qiao.
While Mu Tinglan was doing these things, someone quietly left Zilan Garden of the General's Mansion, and someone almost smashed his entire room in Jinguang Courtyard.
The next day, the second house people got up early and started to pack up their things, but the servants looked unhappy. Their contract for selling their bodies was not in the General's Mansion, but was always held by Zheng. When the second house was about to leave, they naturally had to follow them. And they also knew that after leaving the General's Mansion, their treatment might not be so good.
The second house is leaving. Zhang is the happiest here in the third house, but after being happy, he is deeply worried that the second house is leaving. How many days can they stay in the general's mansion?
Lin stood in the yard and watched the servants packing their things, with a very ferocious expression.
She never thought that she would leave the General's Mansion in this way. She thought that even if she was old, she would die in the General's Mansion. She would be buried in the Mu Family Mausoleum as the General's wife and enter the Mu Family Ancestral Hall.
Looking at the courtyard where he had lived for decades, Lin was reluctant to leave. Leaving himself means he lost completely.
She once laughed at Helian Suzhi, so what if she became the general's wife? In the end, she was the one who survived by the general. Even if she was just staying with the general as an aunt, at least she was still alive, right? The general was only her and a woman, right? But now she truly realized that she had never won from the beginning to the end.
Perhaps, there is no so-called loss or victory, because the general never cared about her. Didn’t Mrs. Mu use medicine when she was bed several times? Haha, this is really sad.
"Madam, it's good to leave." The old lady said. General Mu and the others were already suspicious of her, and it would be easier to show their strength when they remained in the general's mansion.
Lin clasped her fist unwillingly, "I will make him regret it." Her voice was cold and hatred.
The old lady sighed in her heart. Seeing that everything was almost done, she helped Lin, "Madam, let's go."
Not only did Lin's hand hold tighter, even though her nails were trapped in the flesh, she didn't notice the pain. She looked at the courtyard where she had lived for decades. Lin took back her eyes and walked outside.
Liu Qi had been waiting outside Zilan Garden for a long time. When he saw Lin coming out, he just lowered his head slightly, and then he took Lin and the others away in front.
Looking at Liu Qi's straight back, something flashed across Lin's eyes.
The second house was also low-key when moving out of the general's mansion. Mu Yaoguang was helped onto the carriage, and Mu Yaoqin's eyes were unconscious and did not make a fuss. But Mu Zishu's concubines wanted to fight for anything else and wanted to gain sympathy, but what could it be useful?
However, Lin was quite proud. After scolding the concubines, he did not forget to express his disagreement with General Mu's approach, and his momentum was also shown, which looked like a mistress in the family.
General Mu saw all these in his eyes, but his expression did not change at all.
Just as the second wife was about to leave, Lord Zheng, Qi Bohou and his wife appeared in sight.
"I've seen the General." Lord Zheng walked over quickly, and first met General Mu before asking, "General, Zishu, what are you doing?"
"Father, what are you doing? Why are you driving my second brother and the others away?" Mu Yiyi quickly walked to Lin and supported Lin. "Second brother and the others did nothing, right? How can you do this, Father?"
In that way, it seemed as if General Mu was forcing Mu Zishu and the others to leave.
Seeing this, Mu Tinglan snorted coldly, "What are you saying about Aunt? The second uncle and the others have already divided the order. They had to stay in the General's Mansion for some reasons. Now the second uncle has found the mansion outside and naturally has to leave." Mu Tinglan said, "If the second uncle and his family continue to live in the General's Mansion, their grandfather naturally has no objection, but what will outsiders think of the second uncle? Could it be that the aunt wants to make people laugh at the second uncle before they are happy?"
"You." Mu Yiyi didn't know how to refute what Mu Tinglan said for a moment. As a result, she had long forgotten that the second and third rooms had already been separated. If the second room left, they would have a chance to seize the General's Mansion, but even Lin was sent away, there would be no great hope.
And if we really want to separate, why are the three bedrooms not together? Why are the three bedrooms still living in the general's mansion?
"Aunt, I also know that this has been too long, so it is normal for you to forget it." Mu Tinglan added with a smile, "Don't worry, grandfather won't blame you, but my aunt's words should not be said again, so as not to cause controversy for her second uncle."
Mu Yiyi was so painful that she was choked by these words, and Mu Zishu was speechless and couldn't speak. However, Lin was still calm, but a cold light flashed in her eyes.
"General, Yiyi is just concerned and confused." After looking at Mu Yiyi, Mr. Qi said, "General, don't blame me, but the son-in-law has something to say, "I don't know if it's right to say it."
General Mu looked at the Queen Qi Bohou and said, "What does Queen Qi Bohou want to say?"
Mr. Qi Bo looked at General Mu carefully, then bowed and said, "General, my sister-in-law has not been dead for a long time. Of course, this is because my elder brother wants to move out of the General's Mansion, but people may not be able to understand it. There will inevitably be some criticism at that time. So, can I let my elder brother and others move out after a while? And seeing that the niece of the third house, Yaoxian, is about to get married, the general's mansion is also in need of manpower."
Anyway, I just want the second wife to continue living in the General's Mansion for a while.
And this is also very impressive.
