Ye Zixi, who followed the general to command troops since he was a child, has a high prestige in the army. The general asked the Yellow Emperor to publicize Ye Zixi's repeated military exploits over the years in the palace. The title of Prince Pinzhen.

All the court officials now knew that the emperor was slowly handing over real power to Ye Zixi in a disguised form, and he showed his favor to Ye Zixi frequently.

As a national teacher, Cang Mo didn't have to go to court every day, but because Ye Zixi had to go to court every day after he was named the prince of Zhenguo, he also went with him, so that he could get acquainted with those officials as soon as possible and see which officials were worthwhile. If they are reused, those officials should find a chance to get rid of them.

After becoming a national teacher, Cang Mo's dress has also changed a lot. The previous style of robes was simple and self-cultivating. The official uniform of the national teacher is majestic and mysterious, coupled with a celestial appearance that does not eat the fireworks of the world. Anyone who sees it will be heartbroken. A sense of awe.

Before the fifth watch arrived, the officials were already standing outside the hall and waiting. Lou Yanming and Mu Yunfan stood at the front. One of them was the prince and the other was the number one scholar. Standing in that position would not look awkward.

When the time was approaching the fifth watch, Cang Mo and Ye Zixi came side by side. Today they are the same as usual. As the prince, Ye Zixi wears a jade grass crown and a dark gold python robe. One, with a cat's eyes in the middle of the waistline, with a solemn and majestic face, dressed in a moon-white long suit, embroidered with black and complex patterns on the lapel, and a milky white jade hairpin on the head. Deng is right, it is enviable.

Mu Yunfan and Lou Yanming have never seen such an alluring Mu Juechen. In their impression, Mu Juechen is indeed amazing in appearance, but his character is cowardly and timid. His calves trembled even when he took a step under everyone's attention. He was not as stable and peaceful as he is now.

Their timing was extremely accurate, Mu Yunfan was about to step forward to meet Cang Mo, the main hall door opened, the ministers raised their feet to move forward, Lou Yanming signaled him to take it easy.

After the morning ritual kneeling down, Mu Yunfan stood up and pleaded guilty. Originally, he was supposed to go to Beijing to report on his duties two months ago, but because he was seriously injured, it was a full two months late. However, the emperor did not blame him for this, like Like the previous life, he will be enrolled in the Imperial Academy as a minor.

Cang Mo didn't look at him or Lou Yanming from the beginning to the end, as if they were just strangers, which inevitably aroused doubts in their hearts. Maybe this national teacher just looks very similar to Mu Juechen, but he is not someone they know. people.

Just when he was leaving the court, the eldest prince stood up and said that recently there were many bandits in the Lingnan area, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of crimes. He begged the court to send him five hundred elite soldiers to suppress the bandits.

Although the first prince seemed to be heroic when he said this, everyone knew that the third prince was enshrined as the prince of Zhenguo. If there was a rebellion, there would be no reason for the eldest prince who was engaged in civil and political affairs to step over the prince of Zhenguo.

"Father, my son please order to go to Lingnan to suppress the bandits." At this time, Ye Zixi was obliged to stand up. Even if he knew that this was the eldest prince's scheme, he still had the responsibility.

"Your Majesty, I implore you to go with Prince Zhen Guo." Cang Mo must stand up at such a time. In the last life, Lou Yanming let the emperor let him go and make him the prince. A large part of the reason was this Lingnan bandit suppression campaign. For the matter, it was the eldest prince who stood up at that time, but at the beginning he was targeting the fifth prince, Lou Yanming.

Unexpectedly, this time the eldest prince is still as stupid as a pig, making wedding dresses for others all the time, this time Ye Zixi can wipe out the bandits in Lingnan, and his prestige will grow in the hearts of the people like a broken bamboo.

Seeing that Cang Mo stepped forward, the emperor's face softened a lot, and he agreed to Ye Zixi's request and sent a thousand elite soldiers to help him, but Ye Zixi said that he only needed a hundred soldiers chosen by himself, which made the ministers It was a surprise.

According to what the eldest prince said, there are more than two hundred villains, all of them are desperadoes, how can they be dealt with so easily, Ye Zixi did not ask for more troops, but rejected the emperor's kindness, this It really puzzled them, Ye Zixi didn't look like he would be overwhelmed with going to die.

Cang Mo did not teach Ye Zixi this trick of wanting to be promoted first. Ye Zixi did not expect that this trivial matter would secure him a seat on the dragon chair, and even make him famous in all the vassal states. Full of praise.

Ye Zixi only thought about two hundred bandits. Every soldier he brought out had been with him through life and death. Let alone one against two, even one against five would be no problem, so I didn't want to waste a lot of trouble , Take so many soldiers at once.

After retreating, Mu Yunfan was already waiting outside the main hall. As soon as Cang Mo came out, he stepped forward and shouted uncertainly: "Chen'er?"

Cang Mo smiled kindly, and asked him warmly: "Brother, long time no see, I wonder if the family is okay?"

"Chen'er doesn't know something..." Mu Yunfan thought that Cang Mo didn't know what happened to the Mu family later, so he thought that he was a bisexual and that the Mu family was implicated and kicked out of Yanmen City and had to move his family to the city. Tell him about the capital city, and also tell him where the Mu family is staying in the capital city, and invite him to go home to reunite with his family.

After three months of getting along, Lou Yanming's heart has been completely set on Mu Yunfan, and he has never mentioned Mu Juechen again, so he can greet Cang Mo with a pleasant face. Being loved by the emperor and being regarded as a thorn in the side by other princes, Mu Yunfan has decided to help him.

What he wants now is to establish a good relationship with the ministers. If his younger brother Mu Juechen really becomes the national teacher of the Lou Kingdom, then he can give them a big boost just by persuading them to join the Fifth Prince's camp.

"Is what elder brother said serious? Chen'er never thought that elder brother is also a bisexual person." Cang Mo asked knowingly, Mu Yunfan's bisexuality was arranged by him before he left, and such a result was foreseen early in the morning , in order not to make Mu Yunfan suspicious, he deliberately showed a lamenting expression.

"Chen'er and brother Wei are both suffering people, so we should help each other in the same boat, Chen'er, are you right?" Mu Yunfan sighed while supporting Cang Mo's shoulder.

"National Teacher, the matter of suppressing the bandits is urgent. It's time to go back and make arrangements." Ye Zixi raised his eyebrows and urged.

"What elder brother said is very true. When Chen'er returns from suppressing the bandits, we will have a good talk with elder brother." Cang Mo and Mu Yunfan said goodbye to Ye Zixi reluctantly: "Third prince, please."

In Mu Yunfan's eyes, Cang Mo's attitude towards Ye Zixi strengthened his determination to pull Mu Juechen into Lou Yanming's camp. Juechen, the shameless mind that had been immersed for three months began to stir again.

In the eyes of outsiders, the third prince and the Guoguoshi of the current dynasty seem to be inseparable. The Guoshihui followed Ye Zixi only because of the kindness at the beginning, and later because the two often have different opinions on politics. It is getting worse and worse. It is rumored that the national teacher urgently needs to find a wise and brave prince to take refuge.

After discussing secretly, Mu Yunfan and Lou Yanming decided to spare no effort to win Mu Juechen over. They planned to visit Cang Mo that night, but he was not in the mansion, and no one knew where he went.

The next day, Ye Zixi and Cang Mo quietly left the capital without alarming the emperor and the others. Lingnan was only half a month's walk away from the capital, and it only took one month to go back and forth, and it was even faster to ride a horse.

It took Cang Mo and others five days to ride horses to Linggao City, and the local officials rushed to greet them. When they saw that only a hundred or so soldiers had come, the flattering smiles on their faces almost couldn't be held back.

The barbarians in the south of the Five Ridges are strong and strong, and they are all rough men. It is tantamount to wishful thinking to exterminate them with a mere hundred soldiers.

Although the people in Linggao City were very disappointed that the imperial court only sent a hundred soldiers to suppress the bandits, one of the leaders was the prince of Zhenguo, and the other was the first national teacher of the dynasty. Even if they had complaints in their hearts, they did not dare to neglect On that day, the officials set up a banquet in the best banquet building in the city to welcome them.

The Lingnan area was originally rich in land and sparsely populated. Every household was able to eat good food during the festivals. Cang Mo and Ye Zixi did not scold them like the princes and ministers of other dynasties when they visited various places. The officials ate big fish and meat, but they ate happily in a harmonious atmosphere. Every soldier was very satisfied and full of energy.

During the banquet, some local gentry and their family members were invited to have a drink and discuss together. They all found that the third prince was very knowledgeable. People in this area have benefited a lot, and they have a good impression of the third prince.

The people who didn't know the truth saw that they ate and drank in the banquet building on the first day they came, and they were even more disappointed. They guessed that the third prince was just going through the motions and would not really go to the mountain to suppress the bandits.

Unexpectedly, the next day, the people in the city saw them camping at the entrance of the mountain where the bandits must pass through, waiting for the bandits to go down the mountain and fight for several rounds.

"Third Prince, something is wrong. The spies came to report just now. The number of bandits on the mountain is far more than what the First Prince said. There are more than five hundred of them." The intelligence soldier ran into the main account to report the military situation, sweating profusely.

"Only five hundred? It's nothing to be afraid of. Just wait for the third prince's order. Our national teacher promises to destroy those gangsters without a single soldier." Cang Mo and Ye Zixi were drinking tea and playing chess, listening Seeing Junqing without even frowning, with a calm expression on his face, Ye Zixi signaled with his forehead that he could step back.

The intelligence soldiers resigned anxiously. The thugs here are not ordinary enemy soldiers. Each one is very sturdy and burly, and they are more willing to die than desperadoes. I don’t know what confidence Mu Guoshi has to dare to say that kind of arrogance If so, it is absolutely impossible to wipe out the bandits without a single soldier.

After they were stationed at the foot of the mountain, five days later, Cang Mo summoned some intelligence soldiers with good light skills, handed them a stack of rice paper with writing on them, and asked them to find a way to throw it into the cottage where the bandits were.

Two days later, I saw a group of two or three hundred thugs coming down the mountain in a hurry, looking somewhat exhausted and embarrassed, with rashes on their bare skin. The leader was a bearded man with a big knife on his shoulder, walking The tiger was in full swing, and there was a horrible scar on the left side of his face.

"Who is Mu Juechen? Get out, grandpa." The bearded and thick voice started calling from a long distance away. Cang Mo and Ye Zixi heard the voice, slowly opened the curtain, and came out together , standing side by side watching the group of gangsters getting closer and closer, with a relaxed smile on their faces.
