Chapter 103 New Era, New Rules
Mu Tiantao lowered his head and was silent for a moment: "Wait a minute."
He got up and went into the study, and after a moment he took out a map made of silk and placed it on the short table in front of everyone.
The four heads of Duke Cheng, Duke Bao, Duke Bao, Zhang Jinyan, and Chief Secretary of War, Wei Dezao immediately surrounded him.
Wei Dezao reached out and took the silk silk in his hand and said to the other three: "This is the national treasury embezzled by the thief. I will deal with it after I find out."
Zhu Chunchen, Zhu Guobi and Zhang Jinyan obviously had something to say, but under Zhu Chunchen's eyes, he stopped talking.
Zhu Chunchen smiled and said, "The prince is full of heart for the country. I already know that, but I don't know whether this treasure map is true or false?"
Mu Tiantao continued to lower his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Mu Tiantao came to the capital and only wanted to die. He had long ignored the wealth. Even the military pay collected earlier, except for the purchase of some of the weapons, the rest would be handed over to His Majesty.
Before his death, Cao entrusted the treasure to me. Mu Tiantao felt a great responsibility and could not sleep for days and nights, but was worried that he would not fulfill Cao Gong's wishes, so that Cao Gong's spirit in heaven could not rest in peace.
Now, the Prime Minister and three important officials of the State Council are here, and they just entrusted the matter to you again.
Now that the big thing is over, Mu Tiantao is just in a fierce battle with the bandits without any worries!”
The four important officials of the Ming Dynasty looked suspiciously at the scars on Mu Tiantao's body. Zhu Guobi wanted to say something, but Wei Dezao pulled his sleeve and swallowed the suspicious words into his stomach again.
Mu Tiantao did not dare to look up. He was very worried that once he looked up, the contempt he could not hide in his eyes would be seen by these four people.
"Don't worry, there is only this map. Mu Tiantao swears with the heroic spirit of the ancestor of the Prince Mu's mansion. If he hides his own private affairs, he will teach me that the Prince Mu's mansion will be destroyed and that the entire clan will never be reborn!"
After hearing Mu Tiantao’s poisonous oath, Zhu Chunchen and Zhu Guobi believed it first. They were both nobles and knew very well that no children of aristocratic families would say such a curse-like oath.
Now, Mu Tiantao said that, then the authenticity of this map is more than 80%.
After getting the things, the four important officials were too lazy to even act on superficial etiquette, so they followed Wei Dezao and left Prince Mu's mansion.
After the four of them left, Mu Tiantao laughed loudly, and finally fell to the ground and burst into tears.
After a long time, Mu Tiantao stood up with his chair and sat quietly in the main seat without saying a word.
Xue Xiucai whispered: "Criminal, the troops they brought have retreated."
Mu Tiantao wiped his tears and said with a smile: "They dare not fight with us. They don't even have the courage to fight within themselves."
Xue Xiucai whispered: "So, Cao Gong's treasure?"
Mu Tiantao shook his head and said, "Where did Cao Gong's treasure come from? It's just a means that Cao Huachun wants to use us to fight for his interests."
Xue Xiucai nodded and said, "At this point, the prince should also find other good plans."
Mu Tiantao shook his head and said, "No need to make plans. As long as we leave the capital, Li Hongji's soldiers will definitely leave us a way out. At present, no one is willing to fight. Even when Li Hongji can take down the capital without bloodshed, he is unwilling to use force."
Xue Xiucai was stunned and said, "Why is this?"
Mu Tiantao said gloomyly: "With the four important officials of the Ming Dynasty who arrived just now, the bandits believed that as long as they entered the capital, they could seize countless wealth. As long as they entered the capital, their children would be given a request for jade and silk.
Success is right in front of you. Everyone is in a hurry to enter the city. Who is willing to intercept us, the officers and soldiers who are fleeing in a panic?"
Xue Xiucai sighed and said, "It's so good, so good."
Mu Tiantao looked at the willow tree that had already bloomed with buds outside the window, reached out and broke a branch and handed it to Xue Xiucai and said, "You go to Jiading Bo Mansion and handed the willow branch to the princess. She may not have noticed that spring has arrived."
"Are we going to take the princess with us?"
Mu Tiantao shook his head and said, "She should have a better place to go."
When Xue Xiucai rode a horse to Jiading Bo Mansion, Zhu Ma was in Jiading Bo Mansion. It seemed that she had the final say in this mansion.
Jiading Bo's family was all crowded in the backyard, turning a blind eye to what happened in the front yard and the middle yard.
After seeing the princess, she handed the willow branch in her hand to the princess and brought what Mu Tiantao said together.
Zhu Niu pinched the willow branches, lowered her head and watched the blooming leaves carefully. Some purple furry things seemed to be about to break out of their shells.
"So it's already spring."
As he spoke, he untied his hair, cut off a strand of hair with a dagger and put it in a beautiful treasure bag and handed it to Xue Xiucai, "Tell Mu Lang that this heart belongs to you forever."
Xue Xiucai said worriedly: "The bandits in the city are like ma, and the princess moves to Prince Mu's mansion and there are many people to take care of her."
Zhu Moe shook her head and said nothing.
Xue Xiucai sighed and bowed to the King Mu's mansion.
It's still that wooden building.
But today, the wooden building is steaming hot.
The cold wind blew outside for a night last night. After returning to the city to wake up, Xia Wanchun was about to have a hot pot to comfort herself.
In the early spring, it is difficult to find some green vegetables in the capital. However, since Xia Wanchun wants to eat hot pot, the people in black have found enough green vegetables.
For example, spinach, leeks, and cabbage are not short of.
Add tofu, vermicelli and mutton, and it looks very rich.
When eating mutton hotpot, the knife method must be good.
After Xia Wanchun got everything in order, swordsman Han Lingshan appeared.
I saw him use his knife like a dragon and as fast as lightning. In an instant, he cut half a pot of mutton slices in a boiling water pot.
Hanlingshan's kung fu is the best in Yushan.
Even if someone makes a knife faster than him, he can cut the mutton into thin slices of uniform thickness and uniform size with each knife. This is all he can do.
"Good knife skills."
"You can practice it even if you serve your master to eat mutton hotpot for ten years."
"No, it should be the sword technique you practiced with my master for ten years."
Han Lingshan thought for a while and said, "That's true, I've eaten every meal."
Xia Wanchun said dissatisfiedly: "Since you eat too, don't be so mean to me."
"Your master has the same skills you will never learn in your life."
"What ability?"
"The ability to change a person and drive him."
"Have my master changed you?"
"yes."
“How did it change?”
Han Lingshan looked at Xia Wanchun's big eyes full of curiosity, touched his head and said, "I don't know either. He began to drive me as if he had done him a little favor..."
"Then this little boy made you happy to help?"
"Yes, he has a lot of candy to be distributed to his brothers and sisters in the academy, and he can't do it alone..."
Xia Wanchun snorted and said, "In the end, you two are the only ones who have no candy, right?"
Han Lingshan frowned and said, "It's not that he doesn't give it to me, but that he doesn't have candy."
Xia Wanchun continued: "Then the two people without candy watched other brothers and sisters eat candy, and even though they were drooling, they felt they didn't regret it?"
Han Lingshan nodded and said, "I was looked up high."
Xia Wanchun said without hesitation: "Then he asked you for help more often. The little busy became a big and small busy, and finally became a bad thing for him to kill and intercept goods?"
Han Lingshan said: "It is true. I have always suspected that this is a profound science. Now I get the answer from you, and it is true."
Xia Wanchun grabbed a lot of meat into the bowl of Hanling Mountain and piled it in the bowl, and said in surprise: "How could he remember these past events?"
Han Lingshan pushed the meat from the bowl to Xia Wanchun and said, "If you deal with your master and apprentice, you will be struck by lightning."
Xia Wanchun poured some red oil soup on the mutton and ate a bowl of mutton beautifully. When he put the chopsticks on, the mutton in the pot was gone.
After swallowing the last mutton, Han Lingshan said to Xia Wanchun: "I am very glad that your master is a very capable person."
Xia Wanchun said: "Because of the tragic situation of the Ming Dynasty at this moment?"
Han Lingshan nodded and said, "I finally understand why the master set up this congress."
Xia Wanchun said: "This is my master's noble way to return power to the people."
"fart!"
"Bullshit, but it's not so noble, it smells too bad."
"The royal family is the royal family, and the Lantian royal family will be one forever!"
Xia Wanchun said: "This is nature."
"However, the Prime Minister can be changed continuously."
"This is inevitable."
"In the future, the power of the Prime Minister will even surpass that of the Emperor!"
"This is what it is. Apart from military and national affairs, the emperor usually only cares about national affairs and people's livelihood."
Seeing Xia Wanchun answering, Han Lingshan gave a breath and changed the topic: "How are you going to send the princess and her group out of the capital?"
Xia Wanchun said: "Hao Yaoqi's soldiers and horses will appear at Zhangyi Gate. At that time, we will come out and he will be the first to enter."
After saying that, he saw Han Lingshan still staring at him.
Xia Wanchun said again: "When you first came out, you had very little power to rely on. You had to rely on your intelligence to deal with the enemy. I believe this process is very difficult.
Countless ancestors of Lantian sacrificed their lives for this, just to make Lantian stronger.
Now, we are strong, very strong.
At this time, we no longer use those risky ways.
Just like we watched Mu Tiantao fight outside the city this morning, I said that I am still very smart, but I want to use my intelligence elsewhere. This kind of thing that can be achieved through our equipment, force, or ability should be simplified as much as possible.
The tricks you came up with racks of your brains may not be as good as what I am doing now. The results that Mu Tiantao has worked hard to create are not as good as those I used to push out with my iron horses when I was in Hexi.
