emperor of a dynasty

The fact that Murong Xun lost his temper in Qingquan Palace because of Prince Mu Cong's beating the envoy of Yan to death soon spread to the ears of Yan Wuwei and Mu Cong in the East. The panic and fear when he was angry, just saying that the Xiangguo Yan Wuwei, who is attached to the prince and tutor, did not get any good after this happened.

The news that Mu Congcong beat Yan envoy to death spread to the court of Qin, and soon there were several voices in the court. Some said that the crown prince had not done well in recent years as a reserve, and his character was weak but irritable. So, it is really not suitable to be the crown prince, and the king is tricked into transferring the crown—this is the idea of ​​the older generation. For them, it is very inappropriate for Qin to have a female monarch, and a second one may hurt them. Therefore, these people have always been dissatisfied with Mu Congcong's becoming the prince.They could hold back before, but now seeing that Mu Congcong has grown up, and the king doesn't want to choose a king, it is a certainty that Mu Congcong will be crowned, they are not in a hurry.

There is also a saying that the prince went to the east when he was young, and he had no good teacher to educate him, so it is understandable to make mistakes. I hope the king can recall the prince back to the capital, and choose a good teacher to regulate his behavior, so as to be safe. People's heart - this is a member of the princeling party, or it can be said that it is a member of the first prince's party. The first prince left suddenly, but his daughter finally sat on the throne. Before that, they didn't dare to say anything about Mu Congcong. Because Murong Cong was underage, Murong Xun didn't say anything at that time that he didn't choose the king, everything was still unstable, but what about now?The fact that Mu Congcong is the only crown prince can no longer be changed. Since this is the case, the ex-princelings and current princelings will naturally try their best to protect Mu Congcong.

The two forces quarreled so fiercely that they had to kneel in the imperial study room after they were divided. The more Murong listened to it, the more angry he became, the more angry he wanted to catch Murong Cong back and punish him by kneeling in the corner of the wall.

It's really in vain to enlighten her and Yan Wuwei's expectations for her!

And what about Yan Wuwei?Yan Wuwei was as shocked and annoyed as Murong Xun when he heard the news that Mu Congcong had killed the envoy Yan at Chuchu. What shocked him was that Mu Congcong, who hadn't seen each other for several years, had grown into such a playful appearance. What is irritating is that Mu Congcong, as the prince of a country, has no long-term insight, but shock is shock, anger is anger, something has happened, you have to think of a countermeasure, right?

So Yan Wuwei didn't have time to eat his lunch, so he changed his official uniform and went to the palace again.

Arriving at Qingquan Hall of the palace, Yan Wuwei heard Murong Yan's furious voice before entering the hall:

"What are you angry about?! Come on, call the people from the Ministry of Rites immediately! Choose a husband for the prince! Let the unfilial daughter choose a husband immediately!"

"It's against her! Gu put her in the Eastern Realm to let her experience some experience and take Gu's seat in the king's capital in the future, but this fucker who didn't do his shit in the Eastern Realm will learn to kill people!"

"What kind of evil?! Whenever there is something to do, she is the Marquis of Ding'an, and whenever she has meritorious service, she writes the name of her, Mu Cong? The one who wins over the ministers in the Eastern Realm, and favors the counselors, doesn't know that?"

"Gu should have thrown her to the desolate land in the north! Gu loves her, has she ever loved Gu?!"

……

Yan Wuwei sighed softly. In fact, she had expected very early on that the grown-up Murong Cong would no longer be as well-behaved as he was when he was a child, especially after Gong Shuji was imprisoned, Murong Qi's growth is predictable. No matter how unbearable Gongshu Ji and Gongshuya are, they are one of the few relatives for Mu Cong, and they also occupy a large part of the position for Mu Cong. After Qi Qi learned that the person who assassinated him was Gong Shuya, he could get a glimpse of it.

It's just that Murong Yan has always been unwilling to think about it these years, she is still willing to believe that her niece is still the same and has never changed.

But where in this world is there a constant thing?

Murong Cong was the orphan of the former prince, and he was supposed to sit on the prince's position justifiably, but Murong Yan came out halfway. Although it is true that he became the prince smoothly, how could he live a peaceful life?

Perhaps the ten-year-old Mu Congcong still doesn't understand the difference between "justifiable" and "fortunately obtained", but when the time passes day by day, what will happen when the child who was in constant fear at a young age gradually grows up?

Will she still not understand?

She is already slowly understanding.

In the past few years, among the courtiers, the one who is the most nervous whenever someone mentions the selection of the king is always the child far away in the east. Perhaps the man who could become a king hadn't done anything, but after all, she began to feel uneasy.

Always uneasy.

She has been away from the court for four years and has never been ordered back. Even if Mu Congcong is pure-hearted, what about the people around her?

Will they be willing to follow a prince who doesn't know if he can ascend to the throne?

It's not that Murong Yan doesn't understand this truth. Occasionally, she also said, "I just want to think that she will slowly develop an ambition like me and my father back then, and then return to this king. all come."

But when the news that the envoy Yan was beaten to death in the east reached the capital, both Murong Tong and Yan Wuwei understood that Murong Tong had grown into an ambition, but she deviated from their original plan. set direction.

"My subject is Yan Wuwei, and I pay my respects to the king." After entering the Qingquan Hall, in the study, he saw Murong Xun who was angrily scolding his subjects, and bowed in a bow.

What Murong Xun is angrily scolding is Liu Zhang, Murong Cong's young master, who was also a former retainer of the former prince, and even the mainstay of the princeling party.

"President Yan is here." Seeing that Yan Wuwei's anger had subsided somewhat, Murong Yan looked at Shaofu Liu Zhang and said, "Liu Aiqing, I know you want the crown prince back to the capital, now I'm alone to bring the crown prince back. The royal capital's order has already been issued, why is it not as good as Liu Aiqing's order?"

"Your Majesty has displeased the old minister. The minister just thinks that the country cannot be without heirs, and the crown prince is far away in the east..."

"That's enough, that's enough." Murong Yan was very angry, "Isn't it just for one thing? Gu has already done what you want, if there is nothing else, then you can step back first. "

Liu Zhang wanted to say something more, but he saw Yan Wuwei shaking his head slightly at her. He was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Murong Yan's face, paused, and had no choice but to salute, "Your servant will leave..."

After Liu Zhang retreated, Murong Xun cursed angrily, "Old man."

Yan Wuwei naturally knew why Murong Yan was so annoyed by Liu Zhang. The first prince had been the prince for seven years after all, and he had many guests, and married the daughter of the great general's uncle Ji, so her interests were intertwined. Don't say that she is Yan Wuwei, maybe the crown prince would not be able to figure it out even if he came back alive first.

These people lived peacefully for a period of time after the death of the first prince, but when Mu Cong was established as the prince, he was expelled to the east, and now it has passed the age of Ji, if they don't help Mu Cong back up, maybe in the future One day, Mu Container will no longer need them.

They were afraid that Murong Xun would transfer their reserves, but Murong Xun hated their meddling too much.

"Mu Rongcong, Gu Gu is really impressed." After a while, Murong Xun said to himself again.

"How to deal with Yan State is the most urgent task now." Yan Wuwei took the map of Qin State and unfolded it on the ground, "Look, Your Majesty, Yan State has tens of thousands of troops on the eastern border, and it will cross the border in a few days. gone."

Murong Xun looked at the map carefully, and said in a deep voice, "I'm not afraid of a lonely country of Yan, but I'm afraid that the country of Qi will also get involved."

Yan Wuwei pointed at Qi State, and thought for a while, "If Qi really attacks Qin with Yan, then the situation in the Eastern Territory will be bad."

"Gu Ming ordered Gu Ming to rush to the east with light clothes, and he also wrote a letter to his cousin. If Gu Ming can make it, relying on the Great Wall to attack and defend, he can probably survive for more than a month." Murong Yan's eyes moved to the northeast, and Yan Wuwei's finger also slowly pointed to a place, their eyes met, and both of them laughed.

"It seems that Jin'er thinks the same as I do." Murong Yan smiled slightly.

Yan Wuwei also laughed, "It seems that the king needs to send someone to Chen Guo."

When the king's capital sent to the east to arrest Murong Cong back to the capital, Murong also sent people to Chen to form an alliance. The result of the alliance with Chen could not come out within a day or two. Then something happened.

The east border went down to the capital, and because the prince was returning to the capital, the officials along the way were all in high spirits, for fear that something might happen to the prince when he arrived on his own territory, but what if they were well prepared?Only people want to be thieves all the time, no one wants to guard against thieves all day long, so it's not a novelty for Mu Congcong to be assassinated on the way back.

Counting this time, this should be the fourth time she was assassinated in her only 14 years of life. When the assassin's sword came towards her, Mu Cong suddenly thought that she really didn't like being alive. .

More than half of the soldiers were killed, and the assassin who came was skilled in martial arts, so when the sword came, Mu Congcong had no time to dodge. Seeing that the sword was about to penetrate his body, he suddenly heard a "clang"—— Someone took the sword with the hilt, and before Mu Congcong had time to see who it was, someone grabbed his arm from behind and threw her out.

"Looking for death, you little thing! Run!" A soft and sweet female voice came from behind, and Mu Congcong looked back, only to see a twenty-eight-year-old woman following behind, wearing a short jacket and carrying a long Sword, so natural and unrestrained.

Looking at those indifferent and clear eyes, Mu Congcong was startled, "Mr., sir...?"

No, it's not her, she doesn't know martial arts.

Seeing Mu Congcong staring at her in a daze, the woman thought she was stupefied, so she stepped forward and grabbed her arm, "Why are you dazed?" As she spoke, she pulled her with one hand and held her sword in the other, walking like flying, taking her breath away. Then she ran out a few miles.Seeing this, the assassins behind were also chasing after her. The woman seemed to have a bad temper, so she cursed angrily when she saw this, "Is it over yet?" She threw a few hidden weapons and went back, and the three assassins fell in response. The next seven people are still chasing.

Seeing this, the woman knew that she couldn't hide, so she hid Mu Congcong behind a stone at the corner of the forest, and jumped out to meet the assassins who were chasing him:

"So many people came here to kill a child?" The woman stood on the road with a long sword in her hand, and smiled at the seven assassins, "It's really shameful."

Seeing that the woman who just appeared just now stopped running suddenly, the assassins were a little surprised, and saw that the forest was deep and the road was secluded. They were afraid of being cheated, so they became vigilant, and the leader stepped forward and said to the woman, "Let's take It has nothing to do with the girl to use people's money to ward off disasters for others, as long as the girl hands over the person, this matter will be forgotten."

Mu Congcong hid behind the stone and lowered her eyes when she heard this, she quietly thought, this is the second time she has heard this, the last time she heard it was in the New Year's Eve seven years ago.

That assassination...

"It's easy to say." The woman played with the sword in her hand casually, and said with a smile, "But you must have heard the saying 'When the road is rough, draw your sword to help'?"

Those assassins saw that the woman insisted on taking care of this matter, so they also became murderous towards the woman, and attacked together. The woman is very good at martial arts, and she chose Lin Zhong, which they are most familiar with, but she is only fifteen or sixteen years old. Being able to get one to seven, he still had the upper hand. Seeing that he could not get any benefits from the woman, and fearing that Mu Cong's guards would rush over, under the entanglement, the assassins looked at each other and had no choice but to throw away the pod Hidden figure.

"Thank you for saving my life." After the assassin fled, Mu Cong came out from behind the stone, stepped forward and bowed to the woman, "I'm in the capital... Su Rong, dare I ask the girl's name?"

"Disciple of Guigu, Beiyou." The woman clasped her fists at Mu Congcong, reported her name, and said, "It's not a life-saving grace, young master. But I think those Someone came here on a bribe, and since he came here on a bribe, if he didn’t achieve his goal this time, there must be another time. The young man is dressed in extraordinary clothes, he must be from a wealthy family, right? He lives in the capital?”

"The family is just doing business. This time... maybe someone rebelled against money." Mu Congcong gave a wry smile.

Seeing that she seemed to be in trouble, Bei didn't ask any more questions, but said, "Do you have a guard? Where is it? I'll take you there."

Mu Congcong was startled for a moment, "No...no more..."

This was the second assassination she encountered on the way back to the capital. She was punished all the way back, so she couldn't bring many guards. After two assassinations...they were almost exhausted.

Bei frowned again, "Young master is only about thirteen or fourteen years old this year, right? Why are the elders in your family so worried about you being away alone?"

Mu Congkong opened his mouth, wanting to say that it was because he made a mistake and went back to be punished, but she looked at Beiyou's eyes that looked like that person, and couldn't say anything, she didn't want that person to know that she had once Over that side.

He just said, "If the girl has something to do, let's go first."

"how about you?"

"I can buy some guards when I get to the next county."

Bei rolled his eyes again, he is really a little prince who doesn't know the sufferings of the world, if the guards can be bought casually, why would someone spend several years or even ten years cultivating loyal guards?

"Let's go." Bei put the sword back into its sheath again, and said to Mu Rongrong, "I'm going to Jiangnan. If I make a little detour, I can take you home."

Mu Congcong was startled, he didn't expect that this Jianghu woman would be so chic and generous, willing to accompany him back to the capital.

"Thank you..."

"Okay, okay, young master, don't thank me here and there, the capital is still far away, so I have to get on the road quickly."

"Oh……"

In this way, Mu Cong followed the woman named Bei You and set foot on the road back to the capital.

The author has something to say: Guess who Bei is?
