Wife is an enemy general

001.

After nearly [-] days of rushing, the group finally arrived at the capital of Daning before the matter of the same surname Wang offered to lead the mission.

After changing into simple clothes outside the city gate, Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan followed Ma Yi and entered the city as servants of the Ma family.

After entering the city, the matter is not over yet. The city has already been under martial law, and soldiers in groups of three or two are everywhere on the streets, patrolling over and over again.

"You don't want to go out casually recently." After Ma Yi led the two of them to his temporary residence here, he warned.

"Most of the soldiers in this city belong to the emperor, but they are also mixed with many other forces. If something happens, it may be difficult to get out of the current situation." Ma Yi looked at Zhong Xiuyuan next to him.

Li Mu is fine, he can get away with it as a businessman.

But Zhong Xiuyuan's identity is difficult to explain, especially after Zhong Xiuyuan appeared in the eyes of everyone again, the fact that he had a scar on his face also spread among the crowd and became well known after the event.

After entering the small courtyard, Ma Yi immediately arranged for the two of them to live here, and then he changed his official robes and entered the palace.

These days, he has also recruited some colleagues in the court, but most of the people he has come into contact with are equivalent to his official position, either in idle positions, or some civil servants with no real power.

Ma Yi hasn't told others about Zhong Xiuyuan's matter, and under the current situation, he dare not tell others easily, lest the news leak out.

When Li Mu came, he brought the imperial decree left to him by Uncle Hong with him.

But in the current situation, he didn't dare to take out the imperial decree easily, otherwise he might be stopped halfway before he reached the palace.

The two stayed in the small courtyard without going out. After staying for nearly three or four days, Ma Yi finally found the opportunity to enter the palace under the pretext of reporting the recent tax items to the higher authorities.

In the early morning, Ma Yi brought Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan, who were dressed in ordinary servant clothes, into the palace with a pile of accounts under the escort of a group of soldiers.

This was a rare opportunity for Ma Yi to win. Although he had no way to meet the little emperor alone, he just bought a short period of time before the little emperor drove back to the palace after retiring from the court, but it was already very valuable.

When the three of them arrived, the morning had not yet faded, they stood far away in the corner outside, waiting quietly.

This waited for nearly half an hour, until the sky was bright.

There were some quarreling voices in the distance, and they couldn't hear what they were talking about, but they seemed to be talking about who would form an alliance.

The three of them waited with bated breath until the officials left one after another, and when there was another news of someone summoning them, the three of them entered in cold sweat.

After entering the door, Ma Yi took the two of them to the side hall and was about to salute when the eunuch next to them asked them to report quickly if they had something to do.

Obviously, what happened just now made the little emperor a little unhappy, so he has no time to take care of these at the moment.

"Report to the emperor, the minister brought the accounts..." Ma Yi straightened his bent body, and hurriedly asked Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan who were beside him to come forward holding the accounts.

Lin Yun, who was behind the tulle barrier, was unable to see this person again after the early court, but now that the national treasury is in a serious deficit, he had to spare some energy.

After the person entered the room, he asked the person next to him to report the situation quickly, but when he turned around, he saw two extremely familiar figures behind the tulle.

At that moment, he stood up from the stool suddenly like an electric shock.

"Your Majesty?" The people who were waiting beside him were startled.

"It's okay, you all back down." Lin Yun pretended to be calm, and waved his hand, making all the people around him back down.

When there were only four of them left in the side hall, Lin Yun opened the curtain.

After seeing clearly the two people standing not far in front of him, he was sure that those two faces were the ones he was thinking about day and night.

Lin Yun, who withstood the pressure of hundreds of officials alone in the court hall and remained unmoved, squeezed his mouth, ran up with his hands outstretched, and hugged the waists of the two of them.

Lin Yun hugged the two of them tightly. He tried his best to control the expression on his face, but after smelling the familiar aura of the two of them, his eyes still turned red.

Both Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan were taken aback by him, and they couldn't care about anything else at the moment, after throwing away the accounts they were holding, they turned their backs and hugged the villain who threw himself into his arms.

Ma Yi stood aside in surprise, watching this scene.

"Are you okay?" Zhong Xiuyuan asked softly.

Li Mu on the side had already directly put his arm around Yun'er's armpit, and with a force of his arm, he directly picked her up and hugged her in his arms.

Li Mu hugged her in his arms. He originally wanted to see Yun'er's face, but since Yun'er threw herself into their arms, she kept her head buried in them, unwilling to raise her head.

He is the emperor, as long as he is still wearing this dragon robe, as long as he is still sitting in that position, he has no right to cry.

Feeling the slightly twitching body of the person in his arms, Li Mu didn't force him, but just patted Yun'er's back lightly.

Ma Yi, who was on the side, saw this scene, and silently retreated to the corner to stand.

He can no longer intervene in this kind of thing, and he has done everything he can.

After a long time, Yun'er finally raised her head with red eyes and aggrieved mouth.

"Why?" Lin Yun wiped away tears, "Why are you here?"

He had obviously recalled all those people who frequently contacted Li Mu and the others, so they should have no way to enter the palace again.

The late emperor's sudden illness was something they did not expect. They thought they would have at least a few years to live.So after the sudden change in the situation, Lin Yun immediately recalled him.

His odds of winning were really too small, and he didn't want to involve these two people.

"Tell me about the current situation!" Li Mu reached out and pinched Yun'er's face.

Zhong Xiuyuan on the side came over with a stool, and the three of them sat down in the middle of the room. Under the current situation, they had no time to chat and reminisce about the old days.

Just now there was such a commotion in the hall, it is enough to see that those people gradually no longer fear Lin Yun's dragon robe.

Although he has indeed established some prestige over the years, if the current situation continues, those prestige will disappear sooner or later.

The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and no one knows whether those people in the court will not be able to withstand the pressure and turn against each other.

Hearing this, Lin Yun took a deep breath, and then roughly explained what happened in the palace.

The situation on Uncle Hong's side is similar to the rumors from the outside world, except that the so-called improvement is just a flashback.

Those kings with the same surname in the court pressed on every step of the way.

Now this mission has infiltrated a lot of their influence, if he doesn't decide who will lead the mission as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the people to explain.

The three of them sat in the side hall and chatted for a long time, until it was dark, Lin Yun calmed down and went out.

When they went out, Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan had already changed back into their clothes, and Zhong Xiuyuan had even put on his previous armor.

The armor that belonged to him alone made the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of Yuan Guo and Daning feel horrified just by looking at it.

This was brought back by the way when he returned to the border before. At that time, he knew that this thing he had abandoned and hidden would definitely be useful.

The news of Zhong Xiuyuan's appearance in the Daning Palace quickly disappeared.

As the news spread, Zhong Xiuyuan would personally participate in the mission to Dayu.

After this incident spread in the palace in Daning in Yuan Guodu, it immediately caused an uproar.

Several kings with the same surname entered the palace for various reasons, hoping that the little emperor would reconsider.

The little emperor did not waver, and after the news of Zhong Xiuyuan's entry into the palace spread, he integrated the mission group in less than three days, allowing the mission group to leave the country and start their journey.

This time, the people who went to the mission were basically selected by the little emperor, and the long-renowned General Zhong Xiuyuan was among them, but the person in charge of leading the team was not him, but a man named Li Mu.

If this matter happened in normal times, it would definitely set off a wave of injustice and doubts.

But because of Zhong Xiuyuan's presence, no one cares about this matter now, because everyone is too busy to be surprised that Zhong Xiuyuan will appear in Daning.

In the early morning, under the leadership of Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan, the missionaries left the capital, and were about to head towards the official road, when they were blocked by a group of soldiers just after walking.

In the morning light, nearly thousands of soldiers were divided into several forces and blocked each other, preventing the missionaries from moving forward.

After Zhong Xiuyuan stabilized the people from the mission, he rode forward and looked coldly at the princes with the same surname in front of him.

"Guys, what are you doing? Wouldn't it be too loud if you put it into practice?" Zhong Xiu didn't move his weapon, just looked at the few people in front of him.

"Hmph!" One of them, a man about the same age as Uncle Hong, with gray temples, drove forward, "A mere traitor deserves to talk to me?"

"What's the matter, everyone?" Li Mu hurried forward. He had already expected that these people would not just let them go, but he didn't expect that they would immediately surround them after they left the country.

"Who are you? How dare you act presumptuously here, didn't you see that I was talking to someone?" The prince didn't take Li Mu seriously at all.

If we talk about Zhong Xiuyuan, he still has a name and surname, and he is quite prestigious in Daning, but who is Li Mu, they have never heard of him!

As soon as the man said this, several people around him laughed.

Obviously, they were very dissatisfied with the fact that Li Mu occupied the position that should belong to them.

"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is what do you mean by stopping us here?" Li Mu looked at the people in front of him calmly and expressionlessly, not at all worried by the heavy army encircling them Oppressive.

"Could it be that you are dissatisfied with the mission?" Li Mu's eyes slowly swept across the faces of several people, and finally, he turned back to look at the capital behind him.

"If everyone is dissatisfied, why don't we go back now and explain clearly to His Majesty the Emperor?" Li Mu was about to let the people from the embassy go back home while speaking.

The whole country of Daning paid close attention to the matter of their mission. Before the mission, the little emperor had already issued an announcement announcing the specific time.

Therefore, although the sky is not bright yet, there are already many people on the street who have come to see him off.

These people were sent from the city to the outside of the city, and even this place has many curious people watching the excitement.

Under such a situation of laboring and mobilizing many people, if these kings with the same surname block them back after leaving the country, then even if these people have a thousand mouths, it is probably difficult to tell clearly.

Those kings with the same surname who were planning to show Li Mu and Zhong Xiu a little bit of color at first, saw that Li Mu was about to go back to the house without saying a word, and their faces suddenly became ugly.

They originally had their own ideas, but most of them were planning to make trouble, and finally some accident happened, causing Li Mu to die of serious injuries accidentally.

Now that things were going on, they had to try their best to get the last place in the mission.

In the end, they worked hard, but they never expected that Li Mu would go straight home when he saw them.

Before they could do anything, Li Mu seemed to have been bullied, and wanted to go back to the emperor to complain.

Seeing the missions that had already returned home, everyone's faces were dark.

They originally planned to come here to play rascals, but they never thought that Li Mu was even more rascal than them!

Originally, they were the villain, but at this moment, they had the feeling that Li Mu was the first to complain.

002.

Before they had time to do anything, they just said a few words and passed their mouthful. This person seemed to be bullied and fell for them, and he was going to go back and sue...

Looking at Li Mu who had already walked back, several Wangs with the same surname looked at each other.

Now that the situation is like this, they have no excuse to make trouble. If they catch up and hurt others at this time, they will really become rogues.

Everyone was so angry that their faces were livid, but the people who watched the excitement nearby had already become agitated and protested one after another.

You said that you have been looking forward to it for a long time, and you finally expected the mission to arrive, and finally saw them go on a trip, and they were blocked back after not going for a long time. No one would feel at ease.

What's more, this matter is also related to Daning's future.

On the streets and in the city, there were rebellious people everywhere. The Wangs with the same surname who had originally surrounded the official road outside the city were very angry when they saw this scene.

But under the current situation, what else can they do?

"You misunderstood." Wang Qima, the same surname who had spoken to Li Mu before, stopped Li Mu and prevented Li Mu from letting the people from the mission back to the city.

"Huh?" Li Mu remained expressionless.

"We didn't come here to embarrass you, we just came to see you off. The mission is related to Daning's future. As the prince, we must not express it."

Seeing this, the other Wangs with the same surname nodded their heads in agreement.

Li Mu suddenly realized that these people brought nearly a thousand soldiers here to send them away!

"So that's it, I was being rude." Li Mu quickly apologized.

After apologizing, he looked at the relaxed faces of these people, and quickly struck while the iron was hot, "If that's the case, then I'll trouble everyone."

Before several kings with the same surname were puzzled, Li Mu hurriedly said earnestly: "Before, His Majesty was worried about whether there would be any danger on the way out of the embassy. I will trouble everyone for your safety."

Hearing Li Mu's words, the smiles on the faces of the Wangs with the same surname couldn't hold back.

Zhong Xiuyuan next to him couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, revealing a helpless and indulgent smile.

These Wangs with the same surname originally wanted to find trouble, but in the end, they were not only defeated by Li Mu, but now they can't lose the rice, and they were also relied on by Li Mu.

"What?" Li Mu looked at the princes in front of him suspiciously, "Could it be that I misunderstood everyone?"

Several Wangs with the same surname also looked at Li Mu in front of them, their faces were ugly for a while, and they even felt a bit of murderous intent in their hearts.

But under the current situation, under the watchful eyes of everyone, they can only follow Li Mu's words.

Stop the mission and force the mission to go back. If they can't give a reasonable explanation to the people, this matter will never end.

Under the current situation, if they continue to follow Li Mu's words, then it is impossible for them to be tampering before the mission leaves Daning.

Otherwise, if something happened on the road, with Li Mu's rascal character, he would beat him up again, saying that they didn't protect them enough, and they wouldn't be able to tell when the time came.

If the little emperor pursues it further in anger, I'm afraid they will just walk away without food.

"Good Li Mu!"

The faces of the Wangs with the same surname were uncertain, but they had to make way for the embassy to leave the capital surrounded by their soldiers and go to the official road.

Lin Yun, who sat anxiously in the palace and waited, heard the report sent back by the person who went out to investigate the news, and couldn't help showing a cheerful smile on his small face.

This was the first time in a long time that he was so happy.

After laughing, Lin Yun had no choice but to put away the smile on his face, took a deep breath, and prepared to face the difficulties and dangers that followed.

Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan left, he can rest assured to leave the matter of forming an alliance to them, but he has to do the matter in the palace by himself.

At least until there is a result from Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan, he must not lose, otherwise everything will be in vain.

The mission left the capital and went to the official road.

While driving his horse forward, Li Mu couldn't help but glance back at the capital behind him.

This time, he came very full, so he only glanced at Uncle Hong in a hurry.

If Yun'er hadn't been sitting by the bed and holding Uncle Hong's hand, he wouldn't even have recognized who was lying on the bed.

With pale hair, bony body, almost breathless, slightly wrinkled brows, and painful expression, Li Mu couldn't help feeling sour just thinking about it.

In just a few years, Uncle Hong was tortured until he lost his human form.

Just as Li Mu was thinking about that face, there was a burst of warmth in his hand. He looked back and saw Zhong Xiuyuan stretched out his hand and held his hand.

Feeling the warm touch, Li Mu took another deep breath and swallowed the bitterness in his throat.

After experiencing so many things, he now cherishes this rare companionship and warmth even more.

He shook hands back and felt the warmth, just with this person by his side, the empty place in his heart would be filled day by day.

"Let's go!" Zhong Xiuyuan chuckled.

Zhong Xiuyuan looked at the people beside him, with a firm smile in his smile.

He can put on the battle armor again and go into battle, he can pick up the discarded things in the past, as long as this person is by his side, he is fearless!

Although this alliance may not be successful, but this time, they can only succeed, not fail.

With resolute determination, the people who sent the mission slowly walked towards Dayu.

When the mission left the capital and reached the border, the bad news finally came.

The first emperor, Lin Hong, died at the beginning of the second year after signing the armistice agreement with Yuan Guo in Daning.

At the age of 54, he had three sons.

In his early years, he was murdered by the crown prince Lin Shang after he ascended the throne, and escaped by feigning death.

Later, because Daning suffered heavy losses for ten years, he rose up again and killed Lin Shang, who was at the side of the Qing emperor, and later established the emperor's grandson Lin Yun as emperor.

It took two years to win peace with Yuan Guo, stop the ten-year-long war, stabilize Daning, and save Daning from the fire and water.

The late emperor Lin Hong passed away. According to the usual practice, during the five-day national mourning period in Daning, everyone should dress solemnly and refrain from making loud noises, and refraining from engaging in congratulatory matters.

After the news spread in Daning, the whole country mourned in Daning.

When the news reached the border, the missionaries had submitted various official documents and were preparing to cross the border.

After hearing the news, the people on the mission changed the date of transit, and all stayed in the post station to serve the country's mourning until the end of the mourning period.

In the post station, no one made any noise, and everyone was silent.

Li Mu wore a heavy cloak and sat silently in the courtyard.

After all, they missed Uncle Hong's funeral.

Zhong Xiuyuan sat quietly at the side and accompanied him hand in hand.

Li Mu felt uncomfortable, he knew it all.

It's not that he doesn't feel uncomfortable, he also feels uncomfortable for Uncle Hong and Yun'er, but his identity prevents him from treating Daning like Li Mu.

It is impossible to say that he does not hate Daning at all.

If Daning hadn't provoked the ten-year-long battle, his grandfather and father would not have died on the battlefield, and the following incidents would not have happened in his family.

It's just that he also hates Yuan Guo, and hates Yuan Guo even more!

In the courtyard, Li Mu looked back at Zhong Xiuyuan who was quietly accompanying him.

After a long time, he finally said, "I'm not feeling sorry for Daning, I'm just thinking that in the future the mountains will never be as lively as before."

What made Li Mu feel uncomfortable was never the death of the emperor of Daning, let alone the passing of the great heroes of Daning, but the departure of the uncle Hong who protected him in everything in the mountains.

"I know." Zhong Xiuyuan replied softly.

While speaking, he leaned to the side and leaned against Li Mu's chest.He likes to listen to the sound of Li Mu's heart beating in his chest, that sound can calm him down.

When he put on armor and went into battle, it was never for Yuan Guo, let alone for Daning, he was just for the person beside him, for the peaceful and mediocre life in the mountains.

At this point, they're never the same.

What they are looking for has never been any glory, wealth and fame. What they have always been looking for is only a little bit of peace in the mountains.

There are no disputes or wars, and the sunrise and sunset return, a small day as plain as water.

Raise ducks and plant fruit trees.During the busy farming season, they are busy under the sun, and when they are done, they lie motionless on the stool as if they are about to die, staring at the iced watermelon and lazily pushing each other to cut it.

During the slack season, as Li Mu had planned before, he could walk around, look for delicious food, and feed the gluttons in this person's stomach.

003.

The mission went to Dayu in March, and after the entire Daning waited with bated breath for three full months, a letter from a flying pigeon brought good news that made the whole Daning rejoice.

The mission persuaded the emperor of Dayu to agree to sign an alliance with Daning.

Specific matters to be determined, but things are established.

After the news had spread, the whole country celebrated.

In the Daning Palace, Lin Yun and the ministers quickly drew up a draft, and rushed to Dayu by [-] miles to start discussing the alliance contract.

The alliance was decided, and the whole country in Daning celebrated with joy. The people wept with joy and ran to tell each other, and the country was full of joy.

Yuan Guo quickly withdrew his troops when he got the news, and the situation at the Daning Border Pass was reversed.

Although the late emperor Lin Hong passed away not long ago, no one pursued these jubilations.

As the alliance was finalized, the palace also issued an announcement.

The will left by the late emperor Lin Hong before his death was transcribed and widely publicized.

Li Mu, the person in charge of the Dayu mission, accepted the decree of the former emperor Lin Hong, entered the court as regent, and bestowed the title of regent.

The great general Zhong Xiuyuan bestowed the title of Great General of Zhen Guo.

Everyone in the rest of the missions will be promoted to rank and honor.

In Daning, the Jin family's assistants made meritorious service and bestowed kings with different surnames.

Ma Yi, the tax collector, bestowed the title of Minister of the Third Grade for his reuse.

One after another imperial edicts were issued from the palace, no one in Daning was different, and the momentum of the little emperor Lin Yun was unstoppable.

The whole country celebrated in Daning, and Dayu's mission returned to Daning after the news of the alliance was confirmed.

Everyone waited with bated breath, just waiting for the mission to return to the country and receive countless honors.

Seeing that everything is developing in a positive direction, there is a sudden news from the palace that the little emperor Lin Yun was assassinated and almost died!

As soon as the news came out, everyone immediately speculated that half a month later when the mission entered the country.

The little emperor in the palace woke up from a coma, and with great power, he took the real evidence and took down the prince with the same surname. On the charge of conspiracy to usurp the throne and treason, he gave poisoned wine and ended everything at home.

The little emperor in the palace, Long Wei, showed great power, and the people applauded for a while.

Earlier, several kings of the same surname had forced themselves into the palace in an attempt to conspire against others, which spread like wildfire, arousing the anger of the people.

There are even rumors in the market that it is related to the death of several kings with the same surname and the death of the former emperor Lin Hong.

The former emperor Lin Hong did a lot for Daning in his life, and his reputation is quite high, and now it is his funeral.Several Wangs with the same surname suddenly lost their reputations and were cast aside by the people.

The mission returned to the country and returned to the capital.

People from all over the country gathered on the way of the mission, and cheered and greeted them all the way from the border, without any failure, until they sent the mission to enter the capital.

The whole country in Daning is celebrating, and even the mountains are full of festive colors.

In the mountains, Zhong Manlu was standing in the duck cage, looking at the ducks scrambling for food in front of him, he couldn't help but smile.

Ever since Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan left, he took over all the things in this mountain by himself. During that time, he couldn't sleep peacefully, thinking about the safety of these two people all the time.

After only half a month, I lost a lot of weight, which shocked other people in the mountain.

Xu Tian even dragged him to the foot of the mountain to see a doctor, who forced him to prescribe several medicines for which he didn't know what disease to treat.

Now knowing that the two of them had returned safely, Zhong Manlu still didn't feel sleepy at all. Having not slept all night, he ran to the duck cage early in the morning to look at the ducks.

Only in this way can he calm himself down instead of being so excited that he has trouble falling asleep.

At this moment, the weather has already warmed up, and it is already June or July.

In midsummer, the cicadas in the mountains kept shouting.

The green shade covers the top of the head, making the forest a little less stuffy and a little more cool.

Standing in the duck cage, Zhong Manlu looked at the quacking ducks at his feet, feeling a little absent-minded for a moment.

Li Mu's mission did not pass by their side, their side was close to Yuan Guo, and Dayu, where Li Mu and his group went, was in the completely opposite direction.

Even so, there are quite a few people meeting up in this mountain in their town, wanting to see the excitement.

Zhong Manlu was a little tempted, but looking at the ducks all over the mountains, he rejected the invitations of several long-term workers.

There are now two people missing in the mountain, and only he is left, and things are getting more and more complicated.

In addition to these ducks, there are also peach and jujube trees in the mountains. These trees will also pick and sell fruit in a month.

In June and July, it was the busy season for farming in the mountains, and he couldn't leave.

Before the two of them left, they explained a lot to him, about the duck and the mountain, but they talked more about him.

What about getting married, what about after, while listening carefully, he couldn't help feeling that these two people are such talkative people, why didn't he realize it before?

The return date of the two is undecided, but they will come back anyway.

So he has to take care of the things in this mountain, at least he has to look at this mountain before those two people come back.

Don't ask those two people to be homeless when they come back.

The mission returned to the capital all the way from the border, and adjusted the time on the way. When it entered the capital, it happened to be the morning when the sun was rising.

With the return of the mission, the gates of the capital opened wide, and there were cheering people on both sides of the road.

In the national capital, the imperial palace also opened its main gate, welcoming the return of the mission with the highest etiquette.

In the welcoming team, apart from the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, even the little emperor came out to greet him in person regardless of the wounds on his body.

After the mission entered the palace and paid homage to the little emperor, all members of the mission were rewarded.

It wasn't until everyone was settled down that the little emperor sat on the dragon chair and looked at Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan who were standing in the court hall.

The bestowal of Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan was issued by imperial decree a long time ago, and now it is already known to everyone.

According to the previous imperial decree, Lin Yun once again bestowed seals on the two of them personally.

Needless to say, Zhong Xiuyuan, his kindness to Daning has long been worthy of the title of the current general of the town.

As for Li Mu, no one knew about him before he was sent as an envoy, but now he has become famous in one fell swoop and is in the limelight.

The little emperor wants to bestow him the regent, there are people's expectations in it, the little emperor's own wishes in it, and the legacy of the former emperor Lin Hong.

Therefore, above the court, no one is different.

The award was made, and everyone expected it, but General Zhong Xiuyuan refused to be an official on the grounds that he was a member of Yuan Guo and that he had to work around.

Everyone was shocked, but after listening to Zhong Xiuyuan's reasons, the little emperor Lin Yun agreed to his refusal.

Zhong Xiuyuan's identity is already sensitive//sensitive, although no one is different from the conferment of the little emperor before, but it can't change the fact that Zhong Xiuyuan is from Yuan Guo.

Now that Zhong Xiuyuan refuses to be an official, no one in the court, civil and military, has raised any objection, disobedience or disrespect, only a burst of compliments and regrets that don't know the truth or not.

After the conferment incident, Li Mu, the person in charge of the mission, lived in the palace as the regent, accompanied by the little emperor Lin Yun.

But General Zhong Xiu Yuanzhong disappeared without a trace after that, like the wind, no one knows his whereabouts.

Beside the regent Li Mu, at some point, there was a man in green clothes with a wooden mask, like a servant or a friend, always by his side, drinking together under the moonlight, hand in hand.

The little emperor Lin Yun respected the two of them very much, so it made people even more curious about their identities.

But until the regent retired to the countryside, and until Lin Yun abdicated in old age, no one knew the real identities of the regent Li Mu and that person.

In the year after the mission returned to China, Daning and Dayu signed an alliance contract, and the two countries exchanged friendly and courteous gifts, which forced Yuan Guo to dare not enter for decades, and in exchange for decades of stability and peace in Daning.

Lin Yun, the little emperor, ascended the throne at the age of five, and his country name is Lin, which means that the forest grows from the trees and becomes a forest, which means lush and thriving.

The little emperor did indeed.

After signing an alliance with Dayu, Emperor Lin Yun of Daning, at the age of nine, with the support of the regent and some officials, reformed the old system, established new laws, and punished corrupt officials with clear rewards and punishments.

During his reign, he popularized the method of education, built countless private schools, and even allocated funds to admit young children into private schools to learn to read.

It also promoted the imperial examination system, called people with lofty ideals from all over the world, and recruited virtuous talents.

Connecting canals, changing waterways, emphasizing agriculture, promoting business...

During his 40 years in office, the country of Daning prospered and the people lived in peace and prosperity, creating the most prosperous and prosperous age in Daning history.

Later, a wild history joked that Lin Yun, the ancestor of Daning's prosperous age, was a man descended from heaven, otherwise how could such an unprecedented prosperous age be created?

Going south from the capital for a few days, behind an unknown town far away from the official road, there is a peach blossom forest among the rolling mountains surrounded by green hills.

In the peach blossom forest, a new tomb is built next to the old tomb, or they sleep in the same coffin, or they are closely related to each other.

The peach blossoms in the mountains bloom season after season. Hundreds of years later, legends arise.

Some say that the former emperors Lin Hong and Lin Yun were buried here, some say that General Zhong appeared here last, and some say that the regent lived here in seclusion after returning to the countryside.

Whether this is the case, hundreds of years have passed, and there is no way to verify it, but there is indeed an old grave in the peach blossom forest in the mountain.

Later, it was widely rumored that the two peach trees at the old grave in the mountain became spirits.

The flowers of these two peach trees are different from other places. The petals are large and dark in color. When viewed from a distance, the clusters of flowers are like burning clouds in the sky, extremely gorgeous.

Every June and July, people who come here to enjoy the flowers after hearing the rumors will ask about this tree when they find it here, or someone in the know will point to the two peach trees on the side of the mountain that are one head taller than the other peach trees, and give them look.

It's just that the peach tree blooms, but few people see it.

It's just because this tree doesn't bloom every season like other trees, they seem to have become spirits, and when they are in a good mood, they will bloom for the last season.

If you are in a bad mood, you may not be able to see him even if you wait ten years.

It is said that the peach blossom tree has become a spirit, and some say that the mountain is haunted by ghosts!

It is said that in the peach blossom forest that was planted at an unknown time, people would often see people gathering in twos and threes, drinking happily or playing chess under the moon.

Occasionally, when the wind blows, you can still faintly smell the fragrance of peach blossoms and wine, and hear the joyous laughter.

But if you ask carefully, the people who live nearby will tell you that it is not peach blossom trees that have become spirits in this mountain, and it is not ghosts that make trouble, but a group of ducks.

A group of wild ducks who don't know when they were raised in this mountain.

No one knows where they live, but people who live in this mountain occasionally encounter ducks in twos and threes, waddling and quacking as they walk in the forest.

They held their heads high, aggressive and fearless, as if they were inspecting everything in the mountains that belonged to them.

They also especially like the two peach blossom trees. Many times, they can be seen gathering around the peach blossom trees.

They either quacked for food, or flew up the trees to play, or hunched their heads, squatting on one of the joint graves and dozing off in the dark.

If they don't go to other graves, they just press one grave, as if they want to get the person buried in it to get up and beat them, so they are willing.

It's over, sprinkle flowers.
