Shanglin Night Snow

It is mid-volt, sunny and hot weather, the sound of cicadas outside has not stopped early in the morning, and the noise lasts for a long time.

After leaving the court, Mu Yunqi discussed the current situation of the Northern Dynasty in detail with Zhang Zhongyue, the political advisor, in the Chuigong Hall. Fortunately, there is no bad news, and the confrontation between the two kings of Chu and Qi is still the same; the Lord You is eager to ask for a son, and has a new concubine in half a year Many people, unfortunately before the good news arrives, their bodies continue to deteriorate, and they have been sick again recently, or they are not very well.Mu Yun prayed to hear this and was worried: at present, there are many hidden dangers in his court, if there is a change in Youguo at this moment, he is afraid that Beigu will not be able to.

Zhang Zhongyue was well aware of the Lord's worries, and was relieved at the moment: "Now that Shao Chenye has been dismissed, and the Shao party has no leader, and Ding Zhibai has returned to the Privy Council, he can share His Majesty's worries. As for Shao Jingheng's 2 relatives, it is certainly a problem. There are no less than [-] guards stationed in the Imperial Army, and there are only [-] of them, even if they are strong and strong, they are outnumbered after all, so they dare not act rashly. Therefore, Your Majesty does not need to worry too much, and can make the best use of the situation and make a long-term plan."

Zhang Zhongyue didn't know about Er Zhukuan's private letter to Ding Zhibai asking for help, so he acted like an outsider. He really thought that Ding Zhibai was sick at home these days, and Mu Yunqi didn't blame him for not caring about his own worries.On the contrary, when it comes to Ding Zhibai, the former reason is not clear, so he took over the privy's office. I don't know whether it is a wise move or a foolish act, but as the saying goes, "Don't make people suspicious, make people not suspicious", the general trend is the same as before, and Mu Yunqi also There is no way to hesitate, but to take this risk: make it beyond doubt.

Just thinking about it, I heard that Huangmen came to report: Ding Zhibai asked to see me.

The person came here to restore his life, and Mu Yun prayed for his own order to announce his progress.At the moment, I heard that he filed a report: "In the past few days, I have reviewed the military and political affairs that have been handled by Shao Chenye in the previous month, and found one thing that is quite strange, that is, this month, when the forbidden army is on duty, the Northwest reported that it should have been transferred to Beijing. The Flying Meng Army was fighting outside to eliminate the Ministers of the Qiang and Hu Yu. It was the main force in Dingjiang and it was not suitable for deployment. Replace it with the revitalized army!"

Both Mu Yunqi and Zhang Zhongyue were aware of this matter, and the feelings expressed in the northwest sound reasonable, so they don't know what the doubts are.

Ding Zhibai was not surprised when he saw this: the military situation in the frontier, but the number of people, duties, etc. are detailed, not to mention that he sits in the temple and is not known. Soldiers, Duo Yi has countless and confused minds.So I had to patiently explain:

"Although I have been away from the Northwest for a long time, I still know about the border military. The two armies of Feimeng and Zhenxing belong to the Dianqian Division, but one is old and the other is new. The Feimeng army was established in the Taizong Dynasty. It is famous for its bravery. It resists foreign enemies. The contribution is indisputable! And although the northern border has been disturbed in recent years, the flying fierce army commander has been fighting for a long time, sometimes there are losses, and there are occasional shortages in numbers. It is really thought-provoking why we can’t make up for it and enter Beijing in time! Furthermore, the number of Fei Meng troops in the Northwest Chenqingdao does not match the book, and entering Beijing is not in accordance with the Wu Law. The divisions recruited by the Son of Heaven will be changed after five years! The Zhenxing Army was originally a Xiang army, and suffered heavy casualties during the Northern Expedition to the Qiang and Hu. So they recruited border people and bandits along the way to join the army, and recruited the brave and brave Anhu tribes to use them, so that they were invincible , Unstoppable, made great contributions to Dinghu, but because of insufficient numbers, the Beiding squadron was still organized as a Xiang army, and it was only four years ago that it was promoted to the imperial army. Wouldn't it be illegal to replace Fei Mengjun Gengwu?"

"This..." Mu Yunqi was asked.

"If I were in the Privy Council, I would have to deal with this situation carefully. However, Shao Chenye was in charge of the power at that time, and he easily approved this proposal. Thinking about the timing, it is too coincidental!" Seeing his confusion, Ding Zhibai continued Add a reminder.

One word awakened the dreamer, Mu Yunqi and Zhang Zhongyue looked at each other, and their expressions changed.

"What you mean is that framing you for collaborating with the enemy may be just an expedient measure by Shao Chenye's uncle and nephew. He wanted to mobilize troops, but he was afraid that you would find out, so he took great pains to set up a plan to block you, a stone in the way. Move away!" Zhang Zhongyue was stunned, and after thinking about it, he asked anxiously: "Will the revitalizing army enter Beijing now? If it is still halfway, the order will be withdrawn immediately, and it is not too late to order him to return the original way!"

Ding Zhibai shook his head: "It's late, I have already asked, the revitalizing army arrived in Beijing a few days ago, and they are currently stationed in the camp of the Dianqian Division in the south of the city."

Mu Yunqi's expression darkened: "How many people are there in the Zhenxing Army?"

Wen said: "The photo book contains 3000 people!"

Rubbing his forehead, Mu Yunqi could no longer calm down: "In this way, if the Zhenxing Army is really used by Shao Jingheng, then he has more than [-] relatives at his side at the moment, and the Forbidden Army stationed in Beijing is only ten thousand in total. Wan is in his early years, and the Si Daying in front of the palace is the closest to Miyagi?"

Ding Zhibai replied, and said: "Dianqiansi has three major battalions in Beijing, one battalion is in the city, and two battalions are outside the city. The battalion stationed in the city is undoubtedly all the relatives of the Shao family. As for horses, infantry, etc. For the second army, the infantry camp closest to Miyagi is four or five miles farther than the nearest military camp of the Dianqian Division, and the other military camps are all outside the city, so if there is any change, it will be difficult to put out the nearby fire."

Zhang Zhongyue was slightly confused: "This should be speculated on the premise that the Zhenxing Army is the Shao family's pro-army, but if this is the case, why didn't Shao Jingheng bring the Zhenxing Army back when he returned to Beijing? Let's talk about the Zhenxing Army. Several years away from the Shao family's control, Shao Jingheng can use it with peace of mind even if he enters the capital one day? Besides, the revitalizing army replaced the Flying Meng army to enter Beijing, and they must apply to the state government. Everyone in the house didn't notice it, so they didn't suspect it?"

The words made sense, Mu Yun begged to turn to Ding Zhibai.

The latter sighed: "Although Zhang Xianggong's words are reasonable, don't forget that the Shao family has been operating in the Northwest for a long time. Shao Wenxi (the posthumous name of Shao Chenyun) went to the north that year, and stayed there for [-] years. When Shao Jingheng left the Northwest, everything was over. It will be a matter of course, his father and son have deep roots in the north, and even Ding does not dare to say what the extent of the power is! The revitalization army was originally recruited and reorganized by Shao Jingheng. It was the Xiang army, so he had no choice but to let go, but Yichen speculated that the person who took over the army at that time was still a close friend of the Shao family, so it seemed to the outside that the revitalizing army was not under the leadership of the Shao family, but the truth was quite different! As for the strangeness here, no one noticed It is not difficult to explain. First, the Shaw family has a great influence there, and there are many cronies, so it is not difficult to clear up. Second, the governor of Xingzhou is a new post, and he is not very proficient in military affairs. It is also close, and it only needs to be a little wording to confuse the public, and it is easy to pass the test."

This remark Yu Muyun prayed that Adam would not get a blow to the head.

Zhang Zhongyue thought for a moment and frowned: "If the speculation just now is true, then Shao Chenye's uncle and nephew must have planned this matter for a long time. I boldly speculate that returning to Yungu to hide soldiers may be Shao Jingheng's main envoy. Kill two birds with one stone!"

Mu Yunqi's godless eyes dimmed a bit, but he still didn't speak.It was Ding Zhibai who asked, "How do you say that?"

Zhang Zhongyue stroked his beard: "After the cold food change, Shao's empress died, and Shao's party really fell apart. Shao Chenye and his subordinates were just at the end of their efforts and could not be reused. Presumably, Shao Jingheng knew this well, so Shao Chenye responded in the court. What he did, he didn't ask questions, let alone participate, because he had other plans. The strategy of deploying troops definitely didn't start overnight. For the plan to be successful, two opportunities had to be seized. One, while Wen Zhong (Ding Zhi Second, before His Majesty turns his suspicions to the northwest! None of this is easy. First, Wen Zhong acts cautiously, and it is difficult to inflict harm. Second, the rumor that Shao Jingheng recruited the remnants of the Qiang and Hu tribes for his own use, once It is widely rumored in the Northwest that due to many accidents recently, it has also flowed into the court. His Majesty will inevitably become suspicious because of the incident. He ordered a thorough investigation. At that time, it is not possible to say that the deployment of troops was in vain. How could he just sit and wait for death? That's why he came up with this plan to kill two birds with one stone, and sent three thousand mobs to Yungu Qiao for training, and mixed in hundreds of barbarians to confuse the public. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could cleanse yourself and get rid of the troubles in your heart?”

Silently laughing like irony, Mu Yunqi remained silent.

Ding Zhibai's face was solemn, and he looked as chilled as the Son of Heaven: "If the inside story is like this, then the previous suspense can be easily solved." What he said is the case of Zhou Qi, and the case of Zhou Qi who mixed with Qin Liuzhi earlier. Stay at home.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Zhongyue's voice turned serious: "This is the end of the matter, and we must quickly come up with countermeasures!"

Leaning back in the chair, Mu Yunqi was a little depressed: "What do you think?"

Seeing Zhang Zhongyue's turning glance, Ding Zhibai understood, and said first: "I think that the situation is not good for me, so I should not act rashly. I don't know the purpose of Shao Jingheng's dispatch of troops to Beijing, but people with ulterior motives should be more cautious than ordinary people." , what he cares most about at the moment must be the movement of the imperial army, so it is absolutely not advisable to rush to attack the king, this battle must be outsmarted!"

Mu Yunqi also knew this point.

Zhang Zhongyue continued: "I have a plan, but your majesty must implement it personally. If Shao Jingheng doesn't know that your majesty knows about the revitalization of the army, he won't be overly vigilant. Then your majesty can declare him to enter the palace alone, and take it down while he is in the gap. It is the so-called capturing the thief and capturing the king, drawing from the bottom of the pot, as long as the timing is right, it will be successful."

But Ding Zhibai disagreed: "Is this plan too risky? For one thing, I have already returned to the Privy Council, so Shao Jingheng must speculate whether I know about it, and it is doubtful whether he will lead the order to enter the palace alone! Besides, he is thoughtful, so All kinds of accidents should be foreseen, even if they are captured, it is really hard to predict what the [-] relatives will do. If they fail, they will put the officials in danger, and even put the entire capital in danger!"

"Because it is said that this is a dangerous plan!" Zhang Zhongyue knew this, and said his plan: "As Wen Zhong said, if you do things in the palace, if the news leaks, the [-] troops in front of the palace will be ordered If they rushed to force the palace, the horse army and the infantry army would be far away from the water and close to the fire, but if they were outside—" His eyes turned: "For example, the Yujin Garden in the northwest of the imperial city! It is far away from the Infantry Division The camp is only five miles away, but it takes nearly ten miles to go from the Si camp in front of the temple, and you have to pass through the busy city on the way, and the marching speed will be twice as slow, so there is no chance to talk about it."

This is really a plan.Only Mu Yunqi's mind was uncertain, and he didn't say yes or no in the end.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, Mu Yun prayed to return to the bedroom, retreated from the rest of the crowd, but did not rest, and sat quietly in the pavilion by himself, intending to reason about the past, and to carefully consider the pros and cons, but he was helplessly confused, and all the things floating in front of his eyes It's a story from my childhood, which makes people have mixed feelings!Half a day of ups and downs, hard to stop.

The birds chirped, and the wind blowing past the window finally shook off some coolness.

A white light flashed in the corner of his eyes, and he fell down the window sill.

His arms sank suddenly, Mu Yunqi subconsciously protected the ball of white velvet, pinched the raised cat ears, and lightly reproached him: "I haven't seen you for a long time, where did you go for a stroll?"

"Meow!" After sitting still for a moment, unable to withstand the provocation of the birds outside, Patch got up and climbed the window to look out.

The sun was already sinking to the west, and half a day had passed before I realized it.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but you don't want to fight?" The man under the window caressed the cat's body, and a wry smile fell from the corner of his mouth: "But it's useless to think about it. It's not time to play around..." He lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally made up his mind: "But Tonight, I have to go." Put the cat back on the window sill: "It's just not convenient to take you..."

The summer sunset persisted, after Mu Yun prayed for food and took a bath, he went to the palace in a corner of the back garden, but he could still see the faint light shining on the west wall.When you leave the secret path, the first starlight appears above your head.

The courtyard is quiet, except for the buzzing of insects and the lights in the room.After taking two steps closer, through the screen window, I saw the silhouette of the man sitting with a scroll in his hand.Mu Yunqi stood in front of the window for a long time, but he did not turn his head, thinking that he was concentrating on his studies.He had no choice but to open the door and enter the house by himself, and opened the curtain of the study, only to see the man look up with a look of surprise on his face.

"What are you reading, so concentrated?" Strolling in, he probed his eyes and saw that it was a military book, Mu Yunqi shrugged his nose, went around to lean on the book case, and curled his lips: "Jing Heng still wants to take another martial arts exam? "

The night wind blows through the window, bringing out the fragrance of his body.

Li Li lowered his head and pecked at the back of his hand, the person being questioned straightened up and raised his eyebrows: "If that's the case, how will Your Majesty become an official with the minister?"

A little tired from standing, Mu Yunqi simply sat down on the desk, touched his chin and showed embarrassment: "I really want to add an official with you, I'm afraid I won't agree to it!"

Pulling his hand to play with it, the man smiled meaninglessly: "That's it, that's all. I'll take the exam again and read so many books. I'm also bored."

Mu Yunqi frowned: "Then don't read it, it's better to play with me if you have the time." Yan Jian really snatched the book in his hand and threw it away.

"Who is this who provoked His Majesty again, so he came here to make fun of the minister to relieve his anger?" The man smiled and did not look around.

With a soft snort, Mu Yunqi's complexion darkened: "It's a disappointment, what are you talking about?"

Forget it, the man turned to tease: "Then what does Your Majesty want to play?" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw the predecessor leaning forward with a heavy shoulder.

"What do you think?" Wrapping one hand around his neck and touching the tip of his nose, the smile on Mu Yunqi's lips turned evil.The next moment there was a heavy weight in the waist, and he was finally seeking benevolence, and he was pulled into the arms of the opposite person without any effort, and his lips felt hot.

It seems that they are forbearing, the two of them have only tasted this game, and have not tried it deeply.After a moment of separation, the four eyes met, and the waves in the eyes were calm and peaceful.

"I suddenly remembered something." Mu Yun touched the tip of his nose, "If you hadn't been drugged by Jin Fu, and I had never jumped under your wall in the middle of the night, then you would be the son-in-law of the Ding family now?"

"I don't think so." Sighing lightly, the man shook his head: "Since your majesty is determined, if I don't follow suit, how can you give up? Besides, I am not Liu Xiahui, everyone has shortcomings, your majesty will attack me by taking advantage of my vital points, Is there any reason for me not to submit?"

He really knew!Unsurprisingly, Mu Yun Qifan was a bit frustrated: "It's a trick! Fortunately, I thought that the 'throwing bait and waiting for the fish' was perfect and I was satisfied. It is debatable who is the bait and which is the fish. "

The man still shook his head: "This comparison is inappropriate. When the bait gets into the stomach and the fish takes the bait, the fish and the stone will be destroyed in the end, and the fisherman will gain. But between you and me, although it was made up by tricks, it is your love and my wish, fish and water. Rong, the two sides are happy at last, so why bother to explore the cause and cause?" His eyes moved, and he turned to provocation: "But then again, you know that the princess wants to do something to me, but you still sit back and watch it happen, but you are not afraid that I will really be drunk. , Self-defeating?"

Finally seeing the smile, Mu Yunqi sneered slightly: "Since I let Jinfu do this, I have my own plan. On that day, a minister came to Jiawang's mansion to give gifts. If you are already unconscious, he will find a way to take you away." You bring it back." Before he finished speaking, the tip of his nose was tapped lightly again, and then his body lightened, his toes lifted off the ground, and when he regained consciousness, he had returned to the desk, facing the enlarged face in front of him.

"Your Majesty has a good strategy!" The man leaned forward and pushed him down on the table, "Of course I didn't say it earlier, but I always think about it, and I still have lingering fears in my heart."

Mu Yunqi was fearless, and laughed wantonly: "That's natural, how can I let others eat the fish I want to catch by mistake?"

Nibbling lightly on the tip of his upturned nose, Shao Jingheng narrowed his eyes: "Then Your Majesty is here to fish again today?"

Feeling cold, Mu Yunqi was slightly startled, but remained indifferent: "So what?" Before he could finish speaking, his body was completely overwhelmed, and he lay flat on the table.

"Since the fish is hooked, how do you want to eat it?" The man knocked twice on the table with one free hand. Hard, afraid that His Majesty will not sleep well."

As soon as he gritted his teeth, Mu Yunqi lifted himself up and climbed up to his neck: "It's okay, I can bear it for a while!" After saying that, she regretted it, because seeing the evil light in his eyes flashed, it was a sign of injury. .

Suddenly, the corner of the mouth that was already upturned revealed an evil intention: "I can bear it for a while, but if it's a night in the middle of the night, I'm afraid that your majesty won't be able to bear it. If it hurts, would it be the fault of the minister?" Take a big step inward.

The moon falls and the wind lives, and the night is so quiet.

Half the night was wanton, and the clouds and rain first dispersed, and it was already a silver candle.

His whole body was sore, sweaty and cold, Mu Yunqi was chaotic, sometimes he seemed to be wandering in the clouds, and sometimes he seemed to fall into a dark ravine, ignorant of where he was.

The thin quilt on the body was lifted, and the sudden coolness made people gradually regain their minds, and there was the sound of dripping water in their ears. Before I could think about it, a warm wetness had already fallen on my shoulders, and it gradually went down and walked everywhere. , the skin relaxes, cool and comfortable.

The thin quilt covered her body again.With a sigh of relief, Mu Yunqi only felt very tired. He stretched out his hand to the outside of the quilt in a daze, but was caught and stuffed back, and the voice in his ear was soft: "The night is late, go to sleep."

Opening his eyelids vigorously, he sneered at the source of the voice, his words were vague, begging: "Jing Heng, tomorrow I want to go fishing in Yujin Garden, you can go with me."

There was a moment of silence.

"it is good."

"Well, then it's settled." She smiled again, then closed her eyes with peace of mind, and fell into a deep sleep.
