cool night

Back then when Xiliang raised troops to suppress the border, they originally borrowed some shady forces in order to gain some benefits, but they didn't want Mu Chenling to personally conquer, and within three months, he would be beaten to pieces.Afterwards, there was civil strife in Xiliang, and the new lord came to power. He retreated a hundred miles away and claimed the land, which severely damaged his vitality for a while.

But after all, it is a neighboring country, and it will not benefit both parties if they continue to fight each other like this.Mu Chenling also knew that the national power was not strong enough to support a war of annihilation that destroyed people's ancestral temples, so all the battles that should be fought would be won, and the relationship that should be repaired would have to be repaired slowly.

Although it was meant to restore relations, after all Xiliang had already submitted a document of vassalization, so it could only be regarded as a small subsidiary country.Naturally, it was impossible for Mu Chenling to lower his suzerainty's attitude, but it was enough face for him to rank the envoys of Xiliang in a higher position when the various countries met in the next year.

Xiliang is also very sensible, knowing that he has just extinguished the flames of war with Lan Guo, and there may be some generals in the court who are still angry. , refused to show any limelight.

——Until their accompanying Princess Heyang stood up.

The meaning of taking the princess to the suzerain country is very obvious. I am afraid that the suzerain country will not like me, and I have nothing to please, so I have to send a girl to the dragon bed to please.

In fact, Mu Chenling has always hated such things.

After all, that's how his mother and concubine were sent here, but the old relationship was hard to break, and he met people who were not good, and his whole life was wasted, without any good results.

Mu Chenling looked at the envoy in the palace who was full of joy and said that he wanted to get married, and the shy and timid Princess Heyang standing behind him, feeling irritable and guilty for a while.

In fact, he has nothing to feel guilty about.

When the Xiliang envoys first entered Beijing, Mu Chenling knew that they had brought a princess, and also guessed that they wanted to take the road of getting married, so he was too lazy to deal with it, so he sent someone to remind them early, and let them Save yourself the trouble.

Unexpectedly, this envoy was too ignorant, and it was useless to raise some points in private.

Mu Chenling sighed, then turned his head and said to Bai Feng: "Don't worry - I told them before, they don't want to play tricks, they won't listen."

Bai Feng followed suit and nodded, took over the work of the small internal supervisor and filled Mu Chenling's glass of wine.

Calm a little too much.

Mu Chenling frowned, always felt that he was still not paying attention, and he was not even a little nervous when someone offered him a pillow in front of him.

At this time, shouldn't we just stand up and let people beat out all the princesses and envoys in Xiliang?

What are you nodding?

Mu Chenling was anxious and angry, just about to teach His Royal Highness Chen Wang who was sitting still and still, when the envoys under him boldly said: "Your Majesty, this time I will bring the princess Come here, I dare not extravagantly ask for the princess to enter the harem, but only ask for the princess to follow His Royal Highness, and come in and out as attendants."

Mu Chenling: "...?"

WTF?

What the hell are you talking about?

Mu Chenling barely held back the fire, and looked at Bai Feng who was sitting next to him: "Princess Xiliang wants to make a marriage... What does His Highness Prince Chen think?"

The tone was not very good, Bai Feng was so frightened by him that he was about to kneel down and apologize.

Teaching his son in front of others, training his wife behind his back, in front of so many people, it really makes people kneel, he is fine, but His Royal Highness Chen Wang's face may not look good.

Mu Chenling's thoughts turned, and he pressed him down secretly. His face was still calm, and he couldn't see any joy or anger, so he just asked him: "Princess Xiliang's sincere affection... How does His Royal Highness Prince Chen think?"

Bai Feng's heart was full of alarm bells, he just wanted to explain to his master that he had never known that princess before, but at any rate he knew that it was time to have a face-to-face conversation, so he quickly refused: "I have no intention of getting married, the emperor forgives me."

Mu Chenling pretended to be distressed: "But this princess of Xiliang wants to marry you wholeheartedly. If you don't agree...would it be impossible for the two countries to start another war over this?"

Having said all this, the envoys sent by Xiliang are not stupid, even if they are ignorant, they can tell that the emperor and His Royal Highness sitting on it don't like this marriage, so they quickly smoothed things over. Pulling his own Princess Heyang back down.

Mu Chenling was still puzzled, looking at Xiliang's table felt like an eyesore, wishing he could beat them out.

It was a dinner with great difficulty that there was no big disturbance. The civil servants and military generals who accompanied the dinner were worried about the meal, and then they breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly resigned and went back to the house.

With good eyesight, Mu Chenling nodded in agreement, and took Bai Feng back to Minglan Palace, and waited for the palace people to withdraw before preparing to settle accounts after the fall.

Bai Feng also felt that today's matter was quite serious, and before Mu Chen Ling could speak, he knelt down: "This subordinate knows his mistake, please master punish him."

He opened his mouth first, but Mu Chenling couldn't say anything.

What's more, Bai Feng was also suffering innocently. He was eating this food well, but he was suddenly called out to marry him. After all, he didn't provoke him. It's not appropriate to blame him.

While persuading himself in his heart, Mu Chenling was sullen, and after a long while knocked on the table, he pointed to the chair next to him: "Okay, don't do this, go and sit down."

Bai Feng was feeling flustered, and he didn't dare to refuse too much, he obediently said "Yes", and sat down on the chair.

"What's the matter with that Xiliang princess?" Mu Chenling was not very happy, "I specified that I want to follow you... You two knew each other before?"

Bai Feng was startled, and then knelt down in a panic: "The master knows that, the subordinates don't know her."

Mu Chenling also felt that the two of them didn't have a chance to get to know each other, so asking this question was just to hear him explain it himself. Now that he heard him denying it, he felt a little more comfortable, and waved his hand: "It's just a question, what are you in a hurry for?" ……sit."

Bai Feng explained in a low voice: "It is a serious crime to secretly communicate with the song, and my subordinates dare not."

Mu Chenling didn't speak, but just stared at him.

Bai Feng pursed her lips, and said again: "Subordinate, this subordinate doesn't know why Princess Xiliang asked her to marry her by name, but this subordinate really doesn't know her."

"It's probably because when you led the troops in Xiliang, you were so famous that even the girls in the boudoir heard about it."

After Mu Chenling calmed down, she felt even more unbelievable, "But you went to beat them, how can she be considered a princess of the enemy country, so she's so excited?"

Mu Chenling paused, "Or did you hear that I had no intention of going to the harem, and came to look for you instead?"

Bai Feng was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said: "Master knows clearly, this subordinate really has no intention of getting married."

"I know, I know." Mu Chenling comforted him, "It's not your fault tonight, it's to scare you."

Only then did Bai Feng feel relieved.

Mu Chenling sighed again: "You have no intention of getting married, but I'm sorry for you after all."

Bai Feng shook his head hurriedly, and hurriedly explained: "No, my subordinates don't have..."

Mu Chenling waved his hand: "I know you don't care about this, but it's still my fault."

Mu Chenling had actually been thinking about this matter all along, but he never had the chance to mention it.Today's talk has come to this point, Mu Chenling doesn't intend to procrastinate any longer, and discusses with Bai Feng: "Get married, seal the empress, it's not difficult to announce to the world like this, and give you a proper title, but I'm thinking about it , that would be bad for you."

After all, Bai Feng was born as a secret guard, and he was always unclear about such things as the government and the people, so Mu Chenling slowly explained to him: "Now you are His Royal Highness Chen Wang who holds military power and has military exploits. In the court, among the people, and even in the future generations of history books, you will be a loyal minister and good general. But if you are a queen... I can say that when I was in power, after a few decades, your reputation might not be good."

Bai Feng really didn't understand these things, he wanted to say that he didn't care about his reputation, but it seemed like he was forcing the master to give him a name, so it was not appropriate to say it.

Fortunately, Mu Chenling didn't have to force him to make a decision, but said to him with emotion: "I didn't really care about the reputation behind me before, but now, I don't know why, but I care more and more about it."

"I don't care about it myself, but you... If I love you for the rest of my life, later generations will treat you as a pet and treacherous..."

Mu Chenling paused, and didn't continue talking.

It was only these days that he realized that it was not that he didn't care about his reputation in later generations.

It turns out that I really care about a person, not only his emotions, but also his reputation behind him.

His Royal Highness Chen Wang should be a unparalleled national soldier, a little general with great military exploits, how sad it would be if he was given the title of sycophant by later generations.
