Mu Sheng was extremely speechless at this time. Although the hairless little girl in front of him was only a few days older than him, he had to recognize her as his sister. He had no choice but to call out "Sister Yi..." …”
Ruimu Yi responded with a smile as bright as a flower, "Hey! Good brother, sister, I am the only daughter of the Grassland Eagle Turli King. Since you have recognized me as your sister, I will protect you from now on. There is no one else in the world except There are not many people in the emperor who dare to bully me... Wow haha!"
Mu Sheng was speechless looking at this beautiful girl who looked like a big sister...
The two of them chatted all the way, but it seemed that they had met each other late.
Ruimu Yi said, "Brother Sheng, you can't see the scenery on the grassland here in the Central Plains. In the future, you must come to my Ruimu house as a guest when you have time, okay?"
After hearing this, Mu Sheng nodded and agreed, "That's for sure. I will definitely visit your home as long as I have the chance."
When Mu Sheng heard Ruimui describe the scenery of the grassland in his hometown, he also looked fascinated. In the future, he must go to the grassland to see the beauties... er, no... to see the grassland.
At this time, a messenger was riding in front of him. The knight raised his hand and saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Changping, has an edict to send the contestants of the riding and archery competition to come to the imperial court to receive their reward."
"I see."
Mu Sheng said, "Sister Yi, I'll see you later, little brother, I'll go and collect the reward first."
Ruimui said proudly, "You are the only one who has a reward? I also have one, let's go together."
Only then did Mu Sheng realize that there was a white cloth strip hanging on her horse's head. This was the mark of third place in the riding and shooting competition, and the second place was a yellow cloth strip.
Mu Sheng was immediately impressed by the girl in front of him. She was indeed a heroine! sure! A girl can actually get the top three in the riding and shooting competition? The strength is indeed extraordinary.
Mu Sheng immediately clasped his fists and saluted her and said, "I really didn't realize it, Sister Yi, women are not inferior to men!"
Ruimui pouted and said, "That's right. Don't even look at who I am..."
The two of them rode their horses to the emperor's palace, laughing and joking all the way, and stepped forward to receive the reward.
At this time, Mu Sheng, Ruimu Yi, and another tall barbarian knight walked up to the viewing platform to receive the reward. On the high platform, the kings of the prairie chatted and laughed with the emperor sitting in the middle.
I saw three people coming forward. Among them, a middle-aged man sitting there was dressed in leather Hu clothes, but he had a deep nose and high eyes. He was obviously a Hu man in appearance but had a refined temperament. He seemed out of place among the kings of the prairie.
He looked at the three of them, his eyes lingered on Ruimui for a moment, and said, "We Huns have always come first in the riding and archery competition. This year is a strange thing. There is actually a Jin warrior who can take the first place. I, on the other hand, have won the first place." Curious about who this warrior among the Jin people is?"
After saying this, he looked at Mu Sheng who was kneeling on the ground with burning eyes. The princes of other tribes around him also looked at him curiously and whispered to each other...
At this time, a hearty laugh came from the emperor who was sitting on the throne. After laughing, he said, "Let the three warriors be equal!"
The three of them stood up after hearing this.
The emperor said, "My dear prince, come to me and let me introduce you to your uncles."
After hearing this, Mu Sheng walked to the emperor and stood next to him. The emperor showed a hint of pride. He stretched out his hand to hold Mu Sheng's hand and introduced to the kings of the prairie, "This time the champion of riding and archery is my fourteenth son Sheng'er. He To be able to perform today is beyond my expectation.”
The Hu man who asked the question just now stepped forward and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty's good son is indeed a good man. What's more unexpected is that such a brave man is actually the heir of His Majesty the Emperor. I admire him."
Upon hearing this, Mu Sheng immediately guessed that the person was Sister Yi's father, King Turli of the Prairie Eagle.
The other prairie princes also came forward and gushed a huge amount of dragon farts...
"Congratulations to His Majesty the Great Emperor for having this dragon son. The Jin Dynasty will be protected forever..."
Hearing this, the emperor was very happy and said to Mu Sheng, "I am very pleased with your performance today. I want to reward you well. Now that you have been granted the title of king, I will grant you the title of five hundred households."
Mu Sheng looked overjoyed when he heard this, and he knelt down and said, "Thank you, father, for your kindness. Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"
Being rewarded in front of the emperor today, Mu Sheng was naturally in the limelight. After the competition, he went to Gongzi Xiu to return the BMW Jueying. Although he was a little reluctant to give it up, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, he was his favorite that he had cultivated for many years.
After the game, Mu Sheng returned to his tent and saw Mr. Wu and Yun'er playing Go. He couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw Yun'er holding the black chess with a frown and hesitation. With someone as smart as Wu Xie, he couldn't help but laugh. People play chess just to be abused!
Wu Xie raised his head and saw Young Master Sheng entering the tent. He smiled and said, "Young Master is so good at shooting. Today, Your Majesty has gained a lot of face in front of the kings of the prairie."
Mu Sheng quickly said humbly, "Hey! Mr. Wu doesn't know something. If it hadn't been for the horse that Young Master borrowed from me, I might not have been able to take first place."
"Oh? Master Xiu?"
At that moment, Mu Sheng told Wu Xie exactly what he had experienced today.
Mu Sheng asked, "Mr. Wu, what do you think Young Master Xiu intends to do?"
Wu Xie touched his thick beard when he heard this and said in deep thought, "What else can it mean? Isn't it just for the crown prince position that Young Master Xiu wants to win over you? Young Master Xiu's mother's family was born into a prominent family, and she belongs to a family of generals in the Jin Kingdom. Yang His ancestors had three Jin generals, and his great ancestor served as the right prime minister during the reign of the second emperor and is quite influential in the court to this day."
"Now the Yang family has two lords. General Zuo Yichenghou Yang Lin is the uncle of An Guojun, and Wuyi Hou Yang Yan is the father-in-law of An Guojun. They were all generals who followed His Majesty in the Northern Expedition of Dayi. Young Master Xiu With the help of his mother’s clan’s power, he is the only one among the princes who can challenge the crown prince.”
Mu Sheng frowned and said, "Mr. Wu, I have always been strange. If the father is dissatisfied with the prince's growing power, why not just give the ninth brother the title of king? Since he is the only one who can balance the prince's power, now he inexplicably gives him the title of king." I have granted a title to Lord Changping? I really can’t guess what His Majesty is thinking..."
Wu Xie smiled and said, "Young master, I only know one thing but not the other. If you grant the title of prince to the prince, it means that your majesty is really dissatisfied with the prince. Maybe your majesty really has the intention to change the prince."
After Wu Xie's suggestion, Mu Sheng suddenly figured it out and said, "I understand. If the young master is granted the title of king, he may pose a serious challenge to the prince's status by virtue of the Yang family's power in the court. This shows that His Majesty has only given the Crown Prince a few blows and has no intention of abolishing him. He still trusts the Crown Prince more than he is wary."
Wu Xie said with a smile, "My lord, the right answer is that the purpose of granting you the title of king is to balance the prince's party. The lord's mother's family has only one Yue Shaofu Zhao Chu in the court. Zhao Shaofu was promoted by His Majesty. In addition to Mr. Zhao, you have basically no foundation in the court. Granting you the title of Lord Changping will not pose a substantial threat to the prince. You must use the prince to suppress the East Palace, and you do not want to depose the prince. This is one of the things."
"Secondly, Your Majesty and the Crown Prince only have a dispute over the ideals of governing the country, and it has not shaken the Crown Prince's status in His Majesty's mind. In recent years, Your Majesty is generally quite satisfied with the Crown Prince's supervision of the country and his administration. Although His Majesty had great military exploits in the Beihai victory in the past, Your Majesty has always valued these prairie princes since he came to the throne. You know this. His Majesty's philosophy of governing the country is to support the grassland tribes after unifying the Central Plains, and internally divide and disintegrate the Huns tribes to prevent the Huns from uniting again and going south to deal with them. This is especially important for me, Dajin."
"How the Yu Dynasty collapsed is a lesson learned from the past. Your Majesty must not only win over the grassland tribes, but also prevent the grassland tribes from reunifying and threatening the rule of the Jin Dynasty in the Central Plains. Today, your Majesty has actually been trying to find the relationship between the Central Plains Dynasty and the Grassland. The balance point of all departments to maintain the current situation."
"The current crown prince is dissatisfied with His Majesty's idea of governing the country. He believes that the Jin Dynasty now dominates the world. The national and military power of the Jin Dynasty can completely crush the grassland tribes. There is no need to deliberately win over the rear in order to stabilize the eastward unification like in the past. In the grassland tribes, the current crown prince is closer to the old and young of the Seven Kingdoms."
"The prince's biological mother is a princess of the Chen Kingdom, so the prince's idea of governing the country with the Central Plains as the center conflicts with His Majesty's insistence on striking a balance between the grassland tribes and the Central Plains dynasty. The third reason is that, but Your Majesty is only dissatisfied with the Crown Prince. For now, Your Majesty has no intention of abolishing the crown prince..."
Wu Xie had just finished analyzing the situation when he heard Yun'er put her head on her hands and yawned, "You men have been doing all kinds of conspiracies and tricks all day long. I'm almost exhausted from listening to them. I'm going to rest in the back..."
After that, he turned and left.
Mu Sheng was convinced by Wu Xie's analysis. As expected, the prince's status was still as stable as Mount Tai.
Mu Sheng asked again, "Sir, Master Xiu seems to be trying to show favor to me these days?"
Wu Xie said, "He is sending a signal. He wants to form an alliance with you. It depends on whether you are willing to cooperate with him."
Mu Sheng said, "What do you mean, sir?..."
Wu Xie said, "You'd better join forces with him. Young Master Xiu is backed by the Yang family. The relationship between the DPRK and China is intricate. The forces behind it are so powerful that you can't compare with them. To say the least, if the time comes, the Prince and Young Master will be ignored." No matter who Xiu has the last laugh, you won't suffer too much. Among the princes, only Young Master Xiu is qualified to fight openly and secretly with the prince."
After hearing this, Mu Sheng nodded and said, "I understand, I know what to do..."
Wu Xie suddenly looked back at the direction Yun'er went out and asked, "I heard that the young master has met Ruimu Yi, the little princess of the Dongyue clan, the pearl of the prairie?"
Mu Sheng nodded in agreement.
"How does Princess Yi feel about the young master?"
Mu Sheng didn't know why, so he had to tell the truth about the process of getting along with Ruimu Yi.
Wu Xie stroked his beard and muttered: "Young master, please stay close to Princess Yi. His father is Prince Tuli of the Ruimu family, leader of the six tribes of the Dongyue clan. He is known as the prairie eagle. He followed His Majesty to the north more than 20 years ago. He made a great contribution by conquering the Dayi clan in Beihai and killing the Shanyu Tutu. After the defeat of the Dayi clan, most of the tribe, millions of cattle and sheep, were rewarded by His Majesty to Prince Tuli, which greatly increased the power of the six tribes of the Dongyue clan. "
"The King of Tuli of the Dongyue clan alone has hundreds of thousands of string-controlling elites. He is absolutely the uncrowned king of the grassland supported by His Majesty. I also heard that King Tuli loves his only daughter very much. If the young master can If we take over Princess Yi, the pearl of the prairie, maybe the young master will really be qualified to compete for the position of crown prince."
