After retiring from the court, Mu Shengshi Shiran found Muyinaqi Palace in Changchun Palace and told her about the court's decision today.
Muyinaqi said: "Is this because the imperial court wants to use our mountain puppets as vanguard? It's a good plan."
Mu Sheng nodded and said: "That's right, but looking at it from another perspective, this might not be a good opportunity for the mountain puppets to rise rapidly. At that time, the imperial court will send hundreds of skilled craftsmen to the mountain puppets to build strong armor and sharp weapons for you, and will also support the army. The most elite ordnance and supplies of the Jin Dynasty, thanks to the proficiency of the Shanpu warriors, has now expanded to 200,000, and it will be easy to sweep across southern Xinjiang. When the time comes, the Shanpu will blackmail Taisha to protect the territory, and get the benefits of both sides."
Muyinaqi said: "Protect the land with the land? You mean that we help Taisha fight, and Taisha wants to use the land as a condition for our mountain puppets to fight?"
Mu Sheng took the opportunity to step forward and took Muyinaqi into his arms, saying: "That's right, the work cannot be done in vain. Now that the results of the court discussion have been decided, Huo Xiangguo will definitely not agree to send troops to help easily. The Xi clan You may have been frightened by the envoys sent by the Jin Dynasty for a while, but as time goes by and the Xi clan sees that the imperial court is unwilling to use troops, then the situation in southern Xinjiang will be difficult, and you can only rely on you for everything."
Muyinaqi wondered: "What are you doing with me now? Why don't you just call the elders into the palace to arrange what they should do in the future?"
Mu Sheng shook his head and said: "It is impossible for me to return to the mountain puppet. I don't trust the mountain puppet to be completely handed over to those elders. What I mean is that if you go back to regent the mountain puppet for me, you will be the mountain puppet from now on." As my official queen, the military power of Yucheng will be completely handed over to you from now on, and with your talents, you can lead Shanpup to develop and grow."
When Muyinaqi heard this, she was shocked. She raised her concubine and looked at Mu Sheng silently. Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, she hesitated for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, I don't want to leave you. It turns out that you have been with me these days. Huanhao, just to drive me away?"
Mu Sheng smiled and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? I can't bear to drive you away. It's just that the situation in southern Xinjiang is sensitive right now. I want you to temporarily handle difficult matters for me. When southern Xinjiang settles down, I will take you into the palace." OK?"
Muyinaqi just hugged Mu Sheng tightly without saying a word. Seeing how clingy she was, Mu Sheng smiled and said, "I usually come to you for fun, but you always look like you can't avoid me. Now let me go." You are free, and you are unwilling to let go."
Hearing this, Muyinaqi arched her head in Mu Sheng's arms, her face flushed slightly, and she said softly: "Your Majesty, as long as you come to find me from now on, I will never avoid you on purpose. You can come whenever you want, at any time." school"
Seeing that the routine was successful, Mu Sheng laughed strangely and said, "Well, since you don't want to go, then I can only make other arrangements."
In the Zhangtai Palace, Mu Sheng summoned the elders of the mountain puppets, and Bortas and Borzongbi arranged the affairs of the mountain puppets in the future.
After seeing the two of them enter the palace, Mu Sheng went straight to the point and asked: "Ta Si, are you almost seventy this year?"
Bortas was a little confused when he heard this, and stepped forward and said: "Old ancestors have learned from this, this junior is sixty-eight this year."
Mu Sheng nodded and said: "Well, Ta Si, I have something that is really difficult to decide in my heart. I would like to hear your opinion."
Bortas said: "Please tell me, ancestor."
Mu Sheng said: "From now on, if I become a neutron bomb, I will definitely not be able to return to Yucheng. Who should I entrust with the military and national affairs of Shanpup from now on?"
Bortas and Borzombi looked at each other and did not dare to say anything. It was obvious that they were looking for a reliable successor. This kind of thing could only be done by the emperor. They did not dare to give random suggestions or do anything. If it's not good, the future heir will be offended.
Seeing that they were afraid to speak, Mu Sheng coughed lightly.
Bortas had no choice but to step forward and suggested: "Ancestor, we really don't dare to comment on the important matters of the country. As for who will lead the mountain puppet in the future, we will definitely obey your ancestors." According to the decree, ancestor, you are who you are, and Zong Bi and I will do our best to assist the new master in stabilizing the country."
Borzongbi also immediately stepped forward to express his position: "I second the proposal, and I would like to abide by the decree of our ancestors."
Mu Sheng was very satisfied with Er Rao's stance. He felt that now he could show off his authority in front of the mountain puppet elders. No one was watching the show of authority here.
Mu Sheng turned to Bortas and said, "I remember that your family is Ding Xingwang, and your grandchildren are almost adults, right?"
Bortas said: "For the record, my ancestor, my eldest grandson, Jealousy, will be an adult next year. Now he is gray-haired, has a large family of children, and is respected by you, ancestor. I will be very content in this life."
Mu Sheng asked: "Well, I have met that wife, have you arranged a marriage?"
Bortas said respectfully: "I would like to inform my ancestors that my son is already engaged and will get married when he reaches adulthood."
Mu Sheng nodded slightly, then turned to Borzongbi and asked, "I heard that you just had a grandson?"
Borzongbi smiled and said: "My ancestors, my eldest daughter-in-law has just given birth to a big fat boy. The descendants of my Bor family are your filial sons and grandsons."
When Mu Sheng heard this, he suddenly sighed and said: "I remembered that when the Great Emperor was in power, his son Borlantai conspired to kill the king, but in the end he was heartbroken and died. The so-called filial son and virtuous grandson are nothing more than this."
Hearing this, Bortas sweated on his forehead and said quickly: "Ancestor, don't worry, we dare to show any disobedience. If anyone dares to be disobedient, I will be the first to refuse." .”
Borzongbi also hurriedly stepped forward to express his position in fear: "Ancestor, don't worry. My uncle and nephew are here in Yucheng, so everything is safe. Who dares to be disloyal? Just ask about the knife in my hand. Fast or not."
The two of them knew that the emperor meant something. When the emperor mentioned Borlantay, who had his heart ripped out and died, he was hinting to them that from now on, if he is no longer in the mountain, you must behave honestly. Erlangtai is your fate.
Mu Sheng was very satisfied with Er Rao's stance and said, "Well, very good. I read you right. Ta Si listens to his orders."
Bortas' heart skipped a beat, and he quickly knelt on the ground and followed the instructions.
Mu Sheng said: "Tasi, in this critical period in southern Xinjiang, Yucheng cannot be left without an owner for a day. From today on, I officially appoint you as the regent of Shanpup, Da Zhongzai, to act as the emperor. From now on, Yucheng will be entrusted to you." Now, don’t let me down!”
Bortas was stunned by the sudden surprise and stayed on the spot for a while. It was not until Borzombi quietly pulled his sleeve that Bortas reacted.
Bortas kowtowed repeatedly and said: "My ancestors absolutely cannot do it. My morals are shallow and my old age makes me unable to handle this important task. I ask my ancestors to choose someone wiser."
It was a lie that Bortas was not excited. No matter who faced power, it was impossible to be indifferent. Although he was extremely eager in his heart, he still had to decline, lest his ancestors were just making false promises.
Mu Sheng smiled slightly and said: "Tasi, get up. I have entrusted you with such an important task for my own reasons. You must not let me down."
Bortas finally understood. This was either a temptation or the leader was really going to promote him.
Bortas's eyes filled with excitement, and he kowtowed desperately: "How can Tasi be so valued by our ancestors? From now on, as long as you are always on your way, I will never take a step back. Tasi is loyal to you." We can learn from the sun and the moon.”
Mu Sheng stepped forward and personally pulled up Ta Si and said: "Get up. From now on, you and Zongbi must govern the country carefully so that you can live up to my promise."
When Borzongbi heard this, his heart moved, and he felt that he should also have arrangements. With the temperament of his ancestors, he would not trust just one person.
Bor Zongbi hurriedly stepped forward to express his loyalty and said: "Old ancestors are wise, from now on Zongbi will assist the seventh uncle to stabilize the country. Please rest assured, ancestors."
Sure enough, Mu Sheng said: "Zong Bi came forward to listen to the order."
"Bor Zongbi, I accept your fate as the commander-in-chief of Yucheng, with the power to command the entire country's army, and Borjak as the deputy commander. With the two of you complementing each other, you are enough to deal with the situation in southern Xinjiang. You will accept your fate when you return. Give the book to Borjak."
Bor Zongbi said happily: "Thank you for your ancestor's trust. Zongbi will go through fire and water for our ancestors in the future."
Although his power is not as great as that of Bortas, he will still be the second-largest figure in the mountain puppet from now on. If he performs well, he may not be unable to take over from Uncle Qi in the future. After all, he is twenty years younger than Uncle Qi. As long as he is loyal to his elders, Ancestor, he will still have a long political life in the future.
Bortas knew it well and knew that this was the check and balance technique of his ancestors. He could not let anyone dominate the family to avoid unpredictable consequences in the future.
Both of them had red faces, and they were obviously overjoyed at their ancestor's acceptance of fate. They didn't expect that the emperor would hand over power to them, so they left the inner palace with gratitude.
On the way, Borzongbi smiled and congratulated Ta Si: "Congratulations to Uncle Qi for becoming the number one mountain puppet!"
Hearing this, Bortas scolded: "Zongbi, don't get carried away. What nonsense are you talking about? The number one person in this mountain is our ancestor. Who dares to arrogate such a title?"
Although this was Zongbi's flattery, it still made Ta Si feel very comfortable.
Borzong Bi repeatedly complained: "Oh! What Qi Shu taught me is that my nephew, I am a little complacent. In fact, in my heart, the ancestor is the god of my mountain puppet. Qi Shu, you are below the ancestor." , isn’t he the first person?”
After hearing this, Bortas' expression softened and he smiled and cursed: "Hey, you son, I really don't know what to do with you."
Borzongbi smiled and said: "From now on, my nephew in the mountain will have to rely on your seventh uncle."
Bortas's face was glowing, and he seemed to be ten years younger. He waved his hands and said: "What are you talking about, nephew? We are all running errands for our ancestors. From now on, you and I will work together to take care of the family business that our ancestors entrusted to us." , that is, honoring his old man."
Borzongbi nodded in agreement and said, "Well, Uncle Qi, you are absolutely right. Only by taking care of our ancestors' family business can we be worthy of our ancestors' trust in us."
After saying this, the two looked at each other, smiled, and left the palace.
