In Yi Jing, under the protection of a group of guards, a carriage slowly stopped in front of the Murong Mansion. Murong Qingwu also held the little hand of his daughter Ye Kexin and slowly walked out of the carriage... ···············
"Dad!" Looking at Murong Yuliang standing in front of the mansion, Murong Qingwu couldn't help but his eyes were red with excitement, and he was about to salute Murong Yuliang.
However, they were stopped by Murong Yuliang. After all, in a sense, although they were father and daughter, they were also monarchs and ministers.
After learning that his father Murong Yuliang returned to Yijing on Ye Mingsheng's order, Murong Qingwu asked Ye Mingsheng to return to Murong's mansion and meet his father.
Ye Mingsheng naturally agreed to Murong Qingwu's request and allowed Murong Qingwu to take his daughter Ye Kexin to Murong Mansion to meet his grandfather Murong Yuliang.
Because she was born after Murong Yuliang was transferred to Hebei and Henan Province, Ye Kexin has not seen her grandfather Murong Yuliang since she was born.
The father and daughter, who had not seen each other for a long time, exchanged a few words before entering the mansion. When Murong Yuliang entered the main hall, his eyes were attracted by the porcelain doll-like little Kexin next to Murong Qingwu.
Under the guidance of her mother Murong Yuliang, little Kexin also bowed respectfully to Murong Yuliang and said in a sweet voice: "Hello, grandpa!" Looking at little Kexin who was carved out of the same mold as his daughter, Murong Yuliang His eyes were full of love, and he immediately took out a long-prepared meeting gift - a longevity lock of mutton-fat white jade!
Xiao Kexin seems to like this longevity lock very much. Her chubby little hands keep playing with the longevity lock, and a novel smile appears on her tender face... ...... An opportunity to meet my father alone.
"Dad, does uncle really want to join the Fengwu Army?" Because time was limited, Murong Qingwu went straight to the question and asked his father Murong Yuliang very seriously: This time Murong Yuliang returns to Yi Jing, Although it was declared to be a normal work report, it was not difficult for Murong Qingwu to guess through some clues why his father was transferred to Yi Jing by Ye Mingsheng this time.
Facing his daughter's inquiry, Murong Yuliang pondered for a while and said: "The battlefield situation in Luo'an court is very bad, so your uncle has this intention, but he has not made the final decision yet!" Murong Qingwu nodded slightly when he heard this. , did not feel any surprise. She knew her uncle Murong Lun quite well. Murong Lun always put the interests of the family first. This is why Murong Lun has not chosen to jump ship yet as the Luoan court is declining.
After all, if Murong Lun leads the Murong family to completely rebel, the Luo'an court will really be finished, and the Murong family will not get much benefit... ······Ye Mingsheng may buy horse bones for a thousand dollars, and ostensibly reuse the Murong family for political propaganda, but fundamentally speaking, the policy Ye Mingsheng has always pursued is to suppress the existence of the family members, even from the beginning The Cui family, which supports the development of the Fengwu Army in terms of power, has been carefully guarded by Ye Mingsheng, and will be dismantled and suppressed if they show any signs of rising.
From the Cui family, we can know the fate of the Murong family in the Fengwu Army system in the future. The power of the Murong family will be greatly weakened.
Obviously this is unacceptable to Murong Lun, who always puts family interests first. However, it is a pity that the great things in the world now lie with Fengwu Army and Ye Mingsheng!
Therefore, no matter how unhappy he is, things will not change according to Murong Lun's will! So maybe it’s time for the Murong family to jump ship!
"Qing Wu, do you know when he will see me?" Murong Yuliang asked his daughter: Murong Yuliang originally thought that Ye Mingsheng would attach great importance to his matter, and would receive him as soon as he entered Yi Jing. Let yourself connect with the people arranged by your elder brother Murong Lun as soon as possible, and open the door to victory in Luo'an for Fengwu Army.
But what he never expected was that Ye Mingsheng didn't seem to care too much about this matter. The attendant just said that he had been assigned to Ye Mingsheng in his daily work, but what exactly was the rotation? It was not clear until he met Ye Mingsheng... This made Murong Yuliang a little confused. I have lost my mind and can't figure out how Ye Mingsheng wants to treat his eldest brother Murong Lun's willingness to surrender!
Murong Qingwu pondered for a while and analyzed calmly: "I don't know much about the matters in the Attendance Department, but it is true that my husband is very busy. Regarding the newly prepared Thirteenth and Fourteenth Divisions, Wei Guan They need a lot of artillery and material support over there, and he needs to make the final decision on these matters!"
"Also, Qingzhou over Qilu seems to be suffering from a locust plague and needs rescue and relief. He has been sleeping in the study for five days in a row!"
"But the most important thing is that I think my husband understands my uncle's mentality of waiting for a price, but it is difficult for him to give him a price that is too high!" Hearing this, Murong Yuliang frowned slightly, and he himself also thought of Ye Mingsheng. This meaning, but after hearing his daughter's analysis, he became more certain of his thoughts.
Looking at his frowning father, Murong Qingwu also opened his mouth and comforted him: "Dad, don't think too much, Wei Pass is not easy to break, and the current situation of Fengwu Army is not as good as it seems. I'm holding on for a breath, so I think my husband will see you in the next few days..." Murong Yuliang nodded when he heard this, The solemnity in his expression eased a little. Seeing this, Murong Qingwu continued: "But dad, I advise you to ask your uncle to lower the price. It is best not to negotiate some unrealistic prices, for fear that the uncle will ask for too much." How disgusting it is for him!”
"Dad, you know what kind of character your husband is like. Even if he agrees to you now, he will still disown you if he turns against you!"
"So if uncle really wants to jump ship, he might as well be more sincere!" Regarding his daughter's words, Murong Yuliang was also thoughtful. He pondered for about a cup of tea and then asked Murong Qingwu:
"Qingwu, dad is far away from the center and doesn't understand the battle situation. Do you think the Fengwu Army can break through Wei Pass now?" Faced with such a question, Murong Qingwu couldn't help but show a wry smile and said with a little helplessness: "Dad, I am alone How could a woman who has lived in the deep wall know about such a major military matter?" Murong Yuliang didn't say anything when he heard this, but still looked at Murong Qingwu. Seeing this, Murong Qingwu could only continue to say: "Perhaps An Miaoyi can I know some of the battle situation, but I really don’t know the battle situation, but the only thing I know is that he has made up his mind to break Wei Pass at this time and completely end the Luo’an court!”
"And in these years, everything he has determined to do, without exception, has become..." Two hours later, Shen Shi Murong Qingwu took little Kexin and said goodbye to her father Murong Yuliang on the carriage returning to Ye Mansion. In the carriage, little Kexin was still playing with the longevity lock.
Murong Qingwu looked a little tired. Although Ye Mingsheng didn't tell her, she knew why Ye Mingsheng allowed her to visit Murong Yuliang and even asked him to bring Ke Xin with him.
Since marrying Ye Mingsheng, Murong Qingwu has been able to feel more and more that she is no longer simply the daughter of the Murong family, but also the wife of Ye Mingsheng, the daughter-in-law of the Ye family. What she has to do is to become a bridge and maintain a good relationship. The relationship between the two families!
But unfortunately, the two families have completely different ideas. Ye Mingsheng wants to be the only one and is not prepared to share power with anyone.
The Murong family, on the other hand, pursues the family's own interests and wants to protect the family's power position in the court. The interests of the two are contrary to each other.
The collision of the two interests made Murong Qingwu feel very tired as a bridge, but even if she exhausted all her efforts, Murong Qingwu was determined to persevere. After all, this was her life... ··············································· ·······························································································································Luoan, in the Shangguan Mansion, looked at the messenger Yang Ce sent back by Ma Chongyang in front of him. Asked: "How is the situation on the front line of Weiguan?" Yang Ce said without thinking: "For the time being, the safety of Weiguan is still safe, but the Fengwu Army has adopted the tactic of digging forward outside the city wall of Weiguan. , although the progress of this strategy is very slow, it can indeed offset part of our army's attack!"
"Furthermore, the artillery of the Fengwu Army is really fierce. They used most of the artillery to bombard the northeast corner of the Weiguan city wall. They seem determined to blow up the northeast corner and enter the city!" After hearing Yang Ce talk about this, Shangguan Chang Gong couldn't help but picture the terrifying scene of the wolf-like Fengwu army charging into Wei Pass in his mind, and his heart couldn't help but immediately asked: "The northeast corner of the Wei Guan city wall, can it resist Fengwu?" Military bombardment?" Feeling Shangguan Changgong's expectant gaze, Yang Ce knew what kind of answer he wanted to hear from him, and he also wanted to tell that answer.
But at this critical moment of life and death for the imperial court, he needed to let Lord Shangguan know the truest situation on the front line, so he still said in a low voice: "Dudu Ma has mobilized all the craftsmen he can mobilize to repair the city wall as much as possible, but the Fengwu Army The artillery is really too fierce..."
"But please don't worry too much, sir. Governor Ma has already begun to prepare the second line of defense. Even if the city wall is destroyed by the Fengwu Army's artillery, our Forbidden Army officers will use our own flesh and blood to build a new city wall." Hold the Fengwu Army outside Weiguan City!" Although what Yang Ce said was decisive, especially when he said it with great courage at the end, it was still not enough to make up for the helplessness and melancholy in Shangguan Changgong's heart at this time.
After being silent for a cup of tea, Shangguan Changgong regained his energy and asked Yang Ce: "What do you need on the front line?" Yang Ce said without any hesitation: "Everything! Personnel, money, medicines, firearms, Craftsmen and so on are all in short supply!”
"The troops of the Fengwu Army are continuously gathering in the direction of Weiguan. Not only do they have people but they also carry a large number of artillery. In addition, their logistical supplies are also very smooth. The Fengwu Army can get everything they want! "
"But our situation is completely different. The casualties on the front line are very high. Every soldier dies and one soldier is missing. At first, only the seriously wounded could not receive medical treatment. Now even some lightly injured soldiers cannot receive medical treatment. They I can only die helplessly in pain and despair!" Yang Ce wanted to continue, but Shangguan Changgong had already waved his hand to signal him to stop talking. Seeing this, Yang Ce could only helplessly shut his mouth.
Shangguan Changgong was silent for a while and then said: "I know that the soldiers on the front line are suffering, but the situation in the imperial court is also very difficult. You must be able to understand the imperial court!"
"Of course, I will do everything I can to raise more money for medicines for you..." Hearing Shangguan Changgong's solemn promise, Yang Ce's eyes also showed hope, and he immediately bowed to Shangguan Changgong and said joyfully: "The last general will represent the frontline soldiers, thank you very much, Lord Shangguan! "Shangguan Changgong nodded and waved his right hand. Yang Ce also wisely said goodbye and left. After Yang Ce left, Shangguan Changgong immediately ordered to summon Chen Jingyu, the commander of the Supervision Department.
After burning the incense, Chen Jingyu also came to Shangguan Changgong. When Chen Jingyu finished the ceremony, Shangguan Changgong asked directly and solemnly: "Has there been any change in the situation in Luo'an?" Faced with this question, Chen Jingyu's mind He thought quickly and then whispered: "The ministers in the court are secretly transferring family documents and property to Sichuan. In addition, there are also some ministers who are in contact with the Fengwu Army!" As soon as these words came out of Shangguan Changgong's eyes A cold light flashed and he said immediately: "Who is in contact with the Fengwu Army? What does your Supervision Department do for food? Why don't you report this matter as soon as possible?" Regarding Shangguan Changgong's rebuke, Chen Jingyu looked a little aggrieved and said: " This matter has already been reported to the court two days ago. Because there are many people involved and some of them are important officials in the court, I don’t dare to act rashly!" After hearing this, Shangguan Chief Gong remembered that two days ago The Supervision Department seemed to have really given himself a memorial, but at that time he was drinking to drown his troubles these days, so he forgot about this matter. Although this matter was his own responsibility, But it was obvious that Shangguan Changgong could not admit it... After a slightly awkward silence for a while, Shangguan Changgong asked again: "Murong Has Lun had any contact with the Fengwu Army?"
