After Mu San entered the yard, he quickly closed the gate, and casually threw the hoe aside. The majestic-looking man was Luo Weiran, the former Commander of the Ouchi Guards Department who once called the wind and rain in Chang'an City, and was even regarded as the number one figure in the entire Gyeonggi Province and even the entire Sui Dynasty.
He and Mu San have lived in this remote village for a long time, and they bought a house with a few acres of land. They said to the public that the elder brother is often away from home because he works as a postman outside, while the younger brother Mu San manages the few acres of land. With the help of the farmer's family, it is not impossible to get a little grain. No one in the village doubted their identities. Although everyone kept joking about Mu San's lack of beards, no one thought that he might be an eunuch.
When they left Chang'an City, they planned to join Fang Jie. But things didn’t go as planned, Fang Jie first went to the southwest and then to the northwest, after Mu San and Luo Weiran discussed it, they decided to find a place to live and then investigate the situation.
Anyway, it was said that Luo Weiran was working as a postman, and no one would doubt him if he didn't come back for a few months.
"Commander, what's going on?"
Mu San quickly followed Luo Weiran into the room, turned around and closed the door tightly.
Luo Weiran grabbed the teapot on the table and poured half a pot of herbal tea in one go. He wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "The world outside is in chaos. The Gyeonggi Province government controls the news, and the common people don't know about it. Luo Yao rebelled in the southwest. Millions of troops have invaded the south of the Yangtze River. The six generals of the south of the Yangtze River actually avoided fighting. The imperial court issued more than a dozen decrees, but the six generals of the six guards did not accept orders at all. It is estimated that a small half of Jiangnan may be Luo Yao swallowed it."
"Gao Kaitai and Wang Yiqu rebelled in the northwest, blocking His Majesty's Western Expeditionary Army in the Hexi Road and unable to return. Although Li Ni was defeated, the Northwest was still in a mess. Not only that, Qin Sheng, Governor of South Jiangsu Province, Yeh, Governor of Huaibei Road Pingdu has announced that it will no longer be restrained by the court, and it is publicized that the generals guarding the capital Xu Xiaogong and Liu Enjing are traitors, and His Royal Highness has been put under house arrest... Only Gyeonggi Province is still singing and dancing, other places, alas! "
Luo Weiran sighed, sat down and said: "At the beginning, His Majesty gave you a secret decree, telling you to wait for the opportunity to issue the decree to several important ministers, but now it seems that there is no such opportunity. Your Majesty has counted thousands of times, but Gao Kaitaihe is not counted. The navy will turn against him, although the navy general Duan Zheng led a part of the navy to kill, but he can't get in touch with His Majesty's troops at all, and His Majesty wants to come back to control the overall situation, but he can't come back at all."
"But...but..."
Mu San was spinning around in a hurry, but he didn't know how to express it.
He held back for a long time and didn't say anything, just stomped heavily: "Ah... I'm going to live up to His Majesty's great trust!"
"Take it out."
Luo Weiran said suddenly.
"What?"
Mu San asked subconsciously.
"The secret decree His Majesty gave you has no meaning at this point. Why don't we take a look first, and it can also provide some help for how to go in the future."
Luo Weiran stretched out his hand.
Mu San hesitated for a while, and finally nodded. He opened the cloth bag sewn inside his underwear, took out an imperial decree on bright yellow silk and white silk cloth, unfolded it carefully and handed it to Luo Weiran: "This decree I have never seen it, and I don’t know what His Majesty arranged. I thought that this little guy like me would become an Optimus Prime in the future, but now that I think about it, I really overestimated myself.”
Luo Weiran also sighed, took over the secret order and looked at it.
This decree generally meant that the emperor was going to attack in the northwest to get rid of a group of ministers related to the rebels. Then Mu San followed this decree and called several people who the emperor had sent away from the capital back to the capital to assist the prince. Before that, the emperor would send people back to the capital to get rid of Pei Yan and others, and the people with the intention rushed back to Chang'an immediately after hearing the news.
But who would have thought that the emperor would never come back!
After reading it, Luo Weiran couldn't help but smiled wryly and said: "Look at these names... Old Shangshu Huai Qiugong, former Minister of Rites Dugujing, old Nayan Su Ping's son Su Chongli... It is said that Huai Lao died of illness a while ago and went to Chang'an before he died. Kowtowed three heads tremblingly in the direction of the city, yelled that the old minister was unwilling to die. Dugujing died in the old house of his hometown not long after he was deposed. In the south of the Yangtze River, the Su family’s mansion was tightly sealed by hundreds of soldiers, and there was no freedom of entry and exit! Fang Xie is the prince’s junior teacher... Fang Jie doesn’t know where he is!”
While listening, Mu San subconsciously shook the cloth bag containing the imperial decree, but there was nothing else in it. There was a line of handwriting on the outside of the cloth bag, which said the words "Jiahuai Qiugong dismantled it personally". He didn't care, and put the cloth bag aside casually. Luo Weiran frowned, looked at the cloth bag and murmured: "No..."
Mu San asked: "What's wrong?"
Luo Weiran picked up the cloth bag and looked at it, then tore it open, but saw a line of small characters on the edge inside, which would never have been seen if it hadn't been torn open.
"Your Majesty used the word "Chaizi", which is very wrong."
Luo Weiran said something to himself, and then carefully looked at the small self in the row: "You should remember that after the crown prince came to power, Luo Weiran explained that Wu Dao and the three of them should not stay, and we should get rid of them, and Huai Lao will help the crown prince to govern. , I am very grateful.”
Seeing this line of words, both Luo Weiran and Mu San's expressions changed involuntarily.
"If...if I didn't think there's anything wrong with this dismantling, I just handed over this secret decree to Huai Lao. If I didn't go with you when I left Beijing, I definitely wouldn't have discovered the secret here... "
Mu San felt his back getting cold, and subconsciously glanced at Luo Weiran.
"But… "
Mu San looked at the sentence about Fang Jie in the decree, and couldn't help frowning: "Your Majesty obviously values you, San Jinhou, and Lord Xiao Fang. How could there be such a confession?"
The image of His Majesty the Emperor appeared in Luo Weiran's mind, and he couldn't help shaking his head: "In fact, no one has understood His Majesty's mind. He thought he was always in control of everything, and he also thought he could always distinguish between loyal and evil. A few years ago I'm worried, Your Majesty doesn't even trust my master, the old director of the Academy of Martial Arts, who else can he trust? If there is no old director, the Yang family will be so easy to secure Chang'an City... "
Mu Sanyue thought more and more frightened, and said to himself that fortunately he didn't know about this thing, otherwise Luo Weiran could crush him to death with one finger.
Luo Weiran didn't think about it at all, he pondered for a while and said: "That's right... The reason why His Majesty arranged this is not because of any fault of ours. He is worried that the prince is young, and I will be in charge of the palace guards after I go back. But San Jinhou holds the imperial family's private property in his hands, Fang Jie is the prince's young teacher at a young age, even if the three of us have no rebellious intentions, we must have too much power, the emperor is afraid that the three of us will affect the court after the prince takes power, That's why Huai Qiugong was asked to secretly help the prince get rid of the three of us after he took office."
He couldn't help but shook his head: "Your Majesty... Who did you trust?"
At this moment, his face suddenly changed, he squeezed a sword formula with one hand, and his figure flashed out of the window.
…
…
There were several carriages parked on the village road outside the yard, and the drivers sat chatting as if they were waiting for someone. There is no sign painted on the carriage, which does not look like something from a famous family. There is no flag, so it doesn't look like a business escort. Coming out of the yard, Luo Weiran looked warily at the carriage not far away, with a serious expression on his face.
After he came out, a fat man with a cute smile and a kind smile got out of the first carriage, trotted over to salute him, and then said with a smile: "Commander, long time no see, do you still remember me?"
The fat man was wearing a new dress that looked very shiny, but because the clothes were too tight, his breathing was a little short of breath.
"Wine and money?"
Luo Weiran glanced at him, and his face softened immediately: "Why are you here?"
"Come to pick you up."
Jiu Se Cai smiled and pointed to the carriage behind him: "Master Hou is waiting for you in the carriage, because it is inconvenient to show up, so I did not come to invite you in person, Master Hou asked me to apologize to you. If it is convenient for the commander, please clean up Things, can we go on the road now?"
"On the road?"
Luo Weiran asked, "Where are you going?"
"I don't know about this, you can just ask Lord Hou. But it should be to the south. Lord Hou has been transferring his business to the south in the past few years. In fact, the shops in the capital are just shells. There is nothing to miss, if you don't mind, I will send someone to help you pack your things?"
Luo Weiran looked at the carriage suspiciously, then turned around and said to Mu San who came out, "Bring your things, we're moving."
Mu San was stunned, and then subconsciously said: "This yard was bought with a lot of money, and there are a few acres of fertile land. It won't take long for the grain to be harvested. Wouldn't it be a pity to leave now?"
After saying this, he regretted it himself, smiled embarrassingly and went back to pack his clothes. Jiu Se Cai waved his hand to signal some servants to help, he walked back to the convoy with Luo Wei Ran and pointed to the second carriage: "Master Hou is waiting for you in the car."
Luo Weiran nodded, opened the curtain and walked in, smelling the aroma of wine and coriander. There was a low table in the carriage, and there were several plates of hot dishes on the table, which looked like they had just been fried and were still steaming. A plate of stir-fried beef tenderloin with shredded lotus root and white fungus, a plate of braised lion head, a plate of crystal elbow, a plate of stir-fried liver tip with Laba garlic, and a small pot of Qibao soup in the middle.
Seeing these things, Luo Weiran couldn't help but sigh: "Pinkeju's fried beef tenderloin, Deshenglou's lion head, Wangkelou's crystal elbow, Xishanlou's Laba garlic liver tip and Qibao soup... It's been a while Smell this smell, could it be that Master Hou has kidnapped the chefs from these buildings? Although they are all common side dishes, ordinary restaurants can’t cook them well. And these dishes are definitely not made by the same person Here, I can barely tell the difference."
The middle-aged man in a royal blue robe sitting in the carriage poured a glass of wine for Luo Weiran, smiled and said, "Why not, you know I'm a picky eater, and after thinking about it, I couldn't find anything I liked along the way. I was a little troubled about what to eat, so I simply invited the chefs from the four buildings, and brought along the dishes I wanted to eat at any time along the way."
"The bosses of those four buildings are willing to let people go..."
Luo Weiran took a bite of the dish and chewed it slowly in his mouth, enjoying it extraordinarily: "Comfortable..."
Wu Yidao took a sip of his wine and then smiled, "Of course I won't let him go, so I bought those four buildings first."
Luo Weiran was stunned for a moment, and then said helplessly: "I didn't think you were so unreasonable before."
Wu Daoruo seemed to be talking to himself: "Because you served the most unreasonable person in the world before, so you think other people are very reasonable."
Luo Weiran thought for a while, then nodded: "It makes sense!"
"Where are you going to reason?"
he asks
"No... it's to be unreasonable."
Wu Yiyi smiled meaningfully.
