Chapter 133: Resisting the Decree and Not Respecting
The victory in the battle of Chenzhou was attributed to Simeng and Mu Zili. Sima Luocheng had always wanted them to stay with him, but now he took advantage of this and made a favor in the Hall of Renhe in front of all the civil and military officials.
Pursuant to the decree, Zili and Simeng were ennobled as national advisors of the Yun Kingdom, and were given a mansion, a thousand taels of gold, a hundred acres of fertile land, and a wealth of brocade, silk and silk. They also selected dozens of smart and sensible attendants from the Chaoyang Palace to live in the mansion.
serve.
But after returning from Chenzhou, Shi Meng hid in Gongbo Longhai's other courtyard and saw no outsiders.
Even the chamberlain sent by the palace to convey the order was missing, and Mu Zili was sent back to Chaoyang Palace together with the order.
It was not that she was deliberately disobeying the order or deliberately neglecting Sima Luocheng, it was just because of his words and deeds that night at the Chenzhou military camp that she had to think too much and had to keep a distance from him.
She knew that even if she resisted the decree, Sima Luocheng would not hold her accountable. At most, it would only be a bad face.
But the chamberlain who came to convey the order today failed to successfully complete the task assigned by the king. At this moment, his pale face was already covered with sweat, and he could not even walk steadily.
If Mu Zili hadn't personally sent him back to the palace, he would have been frightened to death on the way.
When they arrived at the Yongle Hall, Sima Luocheng was sitting in front of the desk, looking down and frowning at the pile of memorials piled up like a hill in front of him, feeling worried.
The Yun Kingdom has been in trouble for a long time, and even if he is a wise ruler, he will not be able to restore his former prosperity overnight.
Not to mention, Mr. Shang will definitely hold a grudge for what happened in Chenzhou. Although he didn't say anything in front of him, he knew in his heart that Baili Rong would take action within a few days.
Furthermore, Grand Tutor Song Xian is still in the court. He is a scheming man and has his own power in the court. If you want to uproot him, you need to find a perfect strategy.
When he was frowning and worried, he heard the maid replying and asking for permission to see him.
"Quickly please!" Sima Luocheng stretched his eyebrows, showed a rare smile, and hurried forward to greet him.
However, he saw that outside the palace gate, except for the chamberlain who was ordered to deliver the order, there was only Mu Zili, and no figure like a dream. The smile on his face froze, then quickly returned to normal, and he extended his hand to signal Mu Zili to enter the palace.
say.
Mu Zili just raised his legs and entered the palace. Before he could relay Xi Meng's words to him, he heard the chamberlain falling to his knees on the ground, crying and begging for mercy: "Sir, spare your life, the little one deserves to die! The little one deserves to die!"
Sima Luocheng slowly turned around, glanced at the servant kneeling at the door of the palace, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter? Tell me!"
The chamberlain kowtowed frequently, slowly took out the golden silk from his arms with trembling hands, raised his hands above his head, "Damn it, little one! Your Majesty, forgive me!"
Just when he took out the silk, Sima Luocheng's heart suddenly froze. She still didn't want to.
He raised his eyes and saw the memorials piled high on the case table, and the irritability he had suppressed came to his mind again, and he shouted coldly, "Since you know it is a capital crime, just go to the Department of Internal Affairs to accept the crime yourself!"
When the waiter heard this, he was so frightened that he fainted.
Only then did Mu Zili realize that because they refused to accept the official title from Luo City, they would actually harm this innocent mortal. Thinking about it, he clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, calm down! I can't blame him for this. In fact, my junior sister and I are free.
Those who are used to it will not be able to bear the many constraints of the court. Please remember the past friendship and take back your life!"
After hearing what he said, Sima Luocheng was startled, and his dark eyes were slightly darkened, but the moment passed, and when he met Mu Zili's eyes, he was already full of smiles, "Brother Mu, you are serious!
It's because Luocheng didn't think carefully about it that he forgot about it."
In the courtyard at the foot of Dengyun Mountain, Shi Meng was sitting alone under the withered crabapple tree, frowning as he thought about yesterday's events, still feeling a little tangled in his heart.
Although Mu Zili repeatedly assured her, Sima Luocheng did promise him in the Yongle Palace that he would never force them to stay in Yun Kingdom again.
But she was still a little worried. She had a restless sleep all night last night. She tossed and turned until it was almost dawn, and then she managed to take a nap.
Originally, she thought there was nothing wrong with Sima Luocheng. He had the people and the world in his heart and would be a good monarch.
But whenever she thought of him recently, his words, expression, and heavy sigh that night in the camp would come to her mind inexplicably, making her extremely upset.
She hugged her knees and looked up at the sky, sighing, but she didn't realize that there were two more people beside her. It wasn't until she suddenly heard the sound of tables and chairs colliding with each other that she woke up from a dream. When she raised her head, she saw Mu Zili gently tapping his index finger.
Put it to your lips to signal the person to speak softly.
Looking again, there was a square wooden table behind her. There was a pair of mahjong neatly placed on the table. It was made of purple bamboo by Gongbo Longhai not long ago. Now that it is out of fashion, there are still Xu Xu bamboo
The fragrance enters the nose, making people feel relaxed and happy, and the unhappiness in their hearts disappears instantly.
"Master! Please sit down! This is the table and chair that the disciple made himself according to the master's instructions. I don't know if it is in line with the master's wishes!" Gongbo Longhai was wearing a moon-white silver silk robe, with green silk tied loosely behind his shoulders.
There was a little bit of pride in his eyes.
Although his skills were not very bright these days, he was very interested in the strange things his master said.
I often close the door and write and draw by myself, and then I find the necessary materials and make them myself.
The bamboo table and four bamboo chairs in front of him were made according to his master's description and he worked overnight.
I tried it on myself this morning. As Master said, this bamboo chair is indeed more comfortable than a soft chair. Even if you sit for a long time, you don't have to worry about your legs and feet getting tired and numb.
Xi Meng saw that Mu Zili had already sat down on the bamboo chair, and she herself was smiling from ear to ear. Her disciple was really a doer.
I just said a few words to him when I was chatting with him recently, and he actually made the finished product so quickly, and now it looks like that.
"Not bad! Very good! Long Hai, I think you can try to find workers to make more and sell them in your grocery store. If the people of Xuanyang City can accept this new style of tables and chairs, your uncle
This is the only one in our family, so we are guaranteed to make a lot of money! This time, we can’t give it to those people for free like we did last time when we made paper! Did you hear that? Hehe! Don’t forget to share the dividends with Master then!” Xi Meng
Sitting on the bamboo chair, playing bamboo mahjong that was slightly cool to the touch, and joking with him.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Gong Bo Long Hai suddenly stood up straight and bowed deeply to her: "Disciple, I will obey my master's orders! Let Shi Hai and the others handle it later!"
As he spoke, he turned around to look for Shi Hai, but luckily Xi Meng's quick eyes and quick hands stopped him, "Wait a minute! Oops! I said you idiot! You have such a bad temper? Why are you in such a hurry? Of course you have to listen to Master's words.
But what did your master tell you just now? Have you forgotten all about it?" Simeng Nuzui winked at Mu Zili, signaling him to speak quickly.
"Master? He... Master just helped to move the table and chairs. He didn't say anything to his disciple?" Gong Bo Long Hai was confused. He looked at Mu Zili and then cast his gaze on the seemingly unknown person.
