Chapter 135 Tricks
What Wei Xiao had someone carry in was a four-panel screen with pictures of mountains, rivers and four seasons embroidered on it.
"Double-sided embroidery?" Mu Zixu asked.
"More than that. My lord, please look at it from the side. Each of these paintings is different. It can be said to be ingenious." Wei Xiao introduced.
Mu Zixu took a look, "It's really extraordinary."
Wei Xiao smiled happily.
It seems that Wei Xiao came to visit this time to give gifts to make Mu Zixu happy, because he left soon.
As soon as they left, the gloom in Mu Zixu's eyes faded away, and his expression returned to calm.
"My lord?" Seeing that Mu Zixu was silent, the guard asked.
Mu Zixu walked up to the screens and suddenly turned over one of them.The guard looked over and saw nothing from the front. After thinking about it and looking from the side, he suddenly discovered that the place on the left side of the painting that was originally a painting turned into a sentence: Is it the land of the king under the whole world, and the land of the land is the subject of the king .
The guard's expression was strange: "What does Wei Xiao mean? Did he come here to remind the prince?"
"Reminder? It depends on what kind of reminder it is." Mu Zixu said.
"Which one?" the guard asked.
"That depends on what Master Wei will do next." Mu Zixu said.
The guard was silent, understood, and still had to wait and see what happened.
"Could Wei Xiao be Mu Qianfan's man?" Gu Zhengqing asked Mu Changfeng.
What Mu Changfeng has is the latest information sent by the secret guard, judging from what he knows so far: "It's not sure yet. Maybe he noticed something and reminded him out of good intentions. Maybe he wanted to stimulate Brother Ming."
Gu Zhengqing scratched his head, it was true. "That's really cunning."
"No matter how cunning you are, there are times when you will show your feet. Let's take a look first." Mu Changfeng said.
Gu Zhengqing nodded.
King Ming and King Cheng were quiet for two days after they returned to the court, but the officials looked at their expressions but no one dared to say that the two princes had calmed down.Sure enough, just two days later, the two of them relapsed into old ways again, and they repeatedly contradicted each other, making Mu Lingtian furious, the court was full of anger, and everyone was terrified. The two lean on each other.
The emperor, Mu Zixu, and Mu Chengyun had a very unpleasant quarrel, and everyone had a premonition that a storm was coming.On this day, there were rumors again in the capital. It was said that after Wang Xiachao returned to the mansion, he kicked the screen used for decoration in the hall to pieces.
"Duke Ming has made a move." Gu Zhengqing said.
A good screen can be smashed to pieces with one kick, King Ming's kung fu is not bad.
"This is a good time to test it out." Mu Changfeng said.
"Is there any other movement from that Wei Xiao in the past few days?" Gu Zhengqing asked.That day after Wei Xiao went out at the Ming Palace, Mu Changfeng sent someone to follow him.
"No. Very calm." Mu Changfeng said.
"It really is cunning." Gu Zhengqing said.
However, no matter how cunning a fox is, it will show its tail sometimes, and this Wei Xiao went to the Ming Palace again the next day after King Ming kicked the screen off.
"The next official sees the prince." Wei Xiao said.
"What are you doing here again? Do you still want to give me a screen?" Mu Zixu said with a sneer.
"My lord misunderstood, this official came this time to bring news to my lord." Wei Xiao said.
"What news?" Mu Zixu asked.
Wei Xiao looked around and seemed to be in trouble.
Mu Zixu sneered secretly, and sure enough the tail was exposed, waved his hands and retreated, "Let's talk. It's a secret."
Wei Xiao smiled ingratiatingly, then put away his smile and approached Mu Zixu two steps seriously, and said in a low voice: "My lord, I heard some news about my lord in the palace."
In the palace?Mu Zixu raised his eyebrows secretly, "Say."
"I heard that the emperor mentioned to Father Baolu in private that he wanted to release the prince to the northwest fiefdom. It seems to be Yuzhou." Wei Xiao said mysteriously.
Mu Zixu's expression changed immediately, and he glared angrily: "What you said is true?!"
"It's absolutely true." Wei Xiao affirmed.
Mu Ziyi stood up with a cold snort, and swept the teacup on the table to the ground, and it shattered.The waiters outside the house heard the commotion inside, and they all knelt on the ground with a plop, trembling.Wei Xiao saw it from a distance.
"Too much deceit!" Mu Zixu exclaimed.
"Oh, I also think this... This is a little too much, Yuzhou is such a barren place, why does the emperor..." Wei Xiao seemed to be very sorry for Mu Zixu.
Mu Zixu looked at him coldly.Wei Xiao dodged Mu Zixu's gaze for a while, a little surprised, but when he looked again, he found that Mu Zixu was just angry, and didn't really see through him, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "My lord, what are your plans now?" .”
"This king went to the palace to ask Mu Lingtian for an explanation!" King Ming was about to walk out angrily.
"Hey, my lord, my lord!" Wei Xiao hurried to stop Mu Zixu, "I can't help it. The emperor hasn't issued any orders yet, you
If you enter the palace so rashly, won't the emperor suspect that you have planted eyeliner in the palace, and it will only be more detrimental to you if you make a fuss at that time.
"
"Then what do you want me to do!" Mu Zixu looked at Wei Xiao as if he wanted to kill someone.
Wei Xiao was taken aback by him, but remembering his mission, he still bit the bullet and said: "My lord, this matter still needs to be discussed again.
Discussion. "
It wasn't that Mu Zixu was really going to rush into the palace, but now that he heard Wei Xiao saying that he wanted to negotiate, his goal was achieved, and he went down the steps, saying: "How else can we discuss? Let Mu Lingtian give this to me. The king changed his fiefdom? Didn't you see that Mu Lingtian disregarded his brother's affection and completely ignored this king!"
As he kept saying 'Mu Lingtian', Mu Zixu seemed to have completely lost his mind.
Wei Xiao observed Mu Zixu secretly, and was overjoyed when he saw this, but he persuaded him sincerely, "Your Majesty, don't worry, there is a way for the lower officials, I wonder if you would like to listen to it."
What I want is your 'method'.Mu Ziyi thought secretly.
Mu Zixu stepped back and sat down, "What can I do?"
Wei Xiao walked over, and after getting closer, he said in a low voice: "The emperor did this just to catch the prince by surprise. We just need to make the emperor have scruples and dare not send you to the fief at will."
"A way." Mu Zixu said.
Wei Xiao giggled, then smiled and said, "The solution lies with you and King Cheng."
"Me and King Cheng?" A dark light flashed in Mu Zixu's eyes.
"Exactly. My lord, think about how much credit you and King Cheng have made for our Great Zhou over the years. Just because of a little conflict during this period, the emperor wants to send you and King Cheng to a remote and barren fief." What's the matter? Even if the emperor dares to think so, there are still courtiers who disagree." Wei Xiao said.
"But this time it's just about this king, what has nothing to do with Cheng Wang." Mu Zixu said.
"You are not the only one who offends the emperor, but also Cheng Wang. The emperor has treated you like this, and why would he let Cheng Wang go so easily? You just need to talk to Cheng Wang, and Cheng Wang must also understand the reason. I will definitely stand with you." Wei Xiao said.
"So you mean to let King Cheng and I instruct the courtiers to obstruct the emperor's will?" Mu Zixu asked.
"No, no, we must stop the emperor before the emperor's will is issued, otherwise this matter will be difficult to handle." Wei Xiao said. "How do you stop it? Doesn't it seem strange to bring it up for no reason?" Mu Zixu asked.
"It depends on what method to use." Wei Xiao said with a smile: "Here, I would like to ask the prince first, whether the prince wants to go to the land, if it is a rich place like the south."
"So what if you think about it, so what if you don't want to." Mu Zixu said.
"If you want, you can unite to become a king, grab the emperor's will, and propose to go to the fief first, and request that the fief be in the south. If you don't want to, then let the officials of Yushitai impeach any official in front of all the ministers, and with that An official discussed in private the reason for suggesting that the emperor send you and King Cheng to the barren land in the northwest, and pointed out the unreasonableness of this proposal. The words must be sharp and severe, and the problem is as serious as it is. For this suggestion, I definitely agree There will also be dissatisfaction among courtiers. At that time, the emperor will be a dumb man who suffers from eating Coptis chinensis, so how can he make a decree after beating first and playing later." Wei Xiao said.
"Sounds good." Mu Zixu said.
"It's my duty as an official to relieve the prince's worries." Wei Xiao said with a slightly smug expression.
Relief?Time to force him to death.
The two suggestions seem to be for his sake, but no matter which one is against the emperor's scales, it will inevitably push the relationship between the two parties to a worse result, which is equivalent to completely tearing face off with the emperor.In such a situation, how could the emperor not find a way to deal with these two powerful princes?At that time, these people will add fuel and vinegar to make it possible for him to force the palace.
Or, that's what they're for.
Mu Ziyi's thoughts turned sharply secretly, but on the surface he still had a gloomy and violent appearance, unable to see his real thoughts.
"This king will discuss with Cheng Wang." Mu Zixu said.
Wei Xiao also knew how to accept it as soon as it was good, immediately changed the subject, and left after a short while.
A message was sent to the Imperial Palace and Mausoleum Mansion through the dark guards.
"Now the fox's tail is exposed, this Wei Xiao is indeed Mu Qianfan's man." Gu Zhengqing said unhappily after reading the news. "After believing Wei Xiao's words, Brother Ming and the others and Brother Huang can roughly guess Mu Qianfan's purpose." Mu Changfeng said
"But we don't know what despicable means Mu Qianfan will use against us." Gu Zhengqing said.
"Since we are prepared, we won't let him succeed easily. You really don't have to worry too much. Why don't you think about our upcoming engagement," Mu Changfeng said.
Gu Zhengqing...
Will this topic turn too fast!
Gu Zhengqing blushed slightly, "Didn't you agree to wait until this matter comes to an end before discussing it?"
"When this matter comes to an end, the ceremony will be held, and now the early preparations can be made." Mu Changfeng said.
"I hope you prepared our engagement ceremony yourself." Mu Changfeng continued.
Gu Zhengqing's ears turned red now.
"I, I'll go see if there's anything I can do." Gu Zhengqing immediately found an excuse to get out of the way.
"My lord's move is really clever, now Guanshi Gu won't worry about other things anymore." Shen Qianxing and Yannan said.
Yannan nodded, agreeing.
