The generals were shocked and drew their swords one after another.
She Yue looked around, but she was calm and said coldly: "Ye Chaoxuan, do you really want to rebel?"
"I have no intention of doing this." Ye Chaoxuan immediately said: "Princess, this is an extraordinary time and you have to be careful in everything." He raised his finger and pointed at Dong Cheng and said coldly: "This person is inciting discord between you and me in front of the princess.
The relationship between the princess and his words directly pointed out that I wanted to rebel, so it can be seen that this person is deliberately plotting rebellion."
Dong Cheng was also calm and sneered: "Ye Chaoxuan, you call me "catch the thief."
"Princess, please don't forget that there are assassins from Kyoto lurking in the city." Ye Chaoxuan put one hand behind his back, but he was calm and composed. He raised his hand to stroke his beard and said: "The whereabouts of the assassin are unknown. Maybe someone is covering up. Dong Cheng's family members are all in Yuzhou.
Although he surrendered to the princess, it is really doubtful whether he is sincere. I have always been wary of him. Today, it seems that this person is in cahoots with foreign enemies, and he just pretended to surrender before. He deliberately provoked a conflict between me and the princess, just to make Xuzhou fight.
Chaos will give Kyoto an opportunity to take advantage of it."
Although Ye Chaoxuan was talking about Dong Cheng, Hu Haibiao's situation was the same as Dong Cheng's.
Naturally, Hu Haibiao couldn't bear Ye Chaoxuan's words and cursed angrily: "Ye, you are a slanderer. Although I have no friendship with Commander Dong, he is definitely not a traitor, but loyal to the princess sincerely. If he is not loyal to Li Tang,
You could have led troops to Yuzhou in the first place, so why did you go to Xuzhou City to pledge allegiance to the princess? On the contrary, you, without the princess's order, threw a cup as a signal, laid an ambush in advance, and let your soldiers break in. This is treason.
"
Hu Haibiao was so excited that he naturally did not expect that a military meeting would be a trap set by Ye Chaoxuan, and the princess was obviously kept in the dark.
"You're right, don't speak loudly." Ye Chaoxuan looked at She Yue, cupped his hands and said: "Princess, I and Dong Cheng are loyal and traitorous. One of them must be a treacherous minister. Princess is wise, please make up your mind!"
She Yue looked at Dong Cheng, and then glanced at Ye Chaoxuan. Seeing that Ye Chaoxuan was calm and composed, obviously full of confidence, she sneered: "Ye Chaoxuan, if you want to use my hands to punish Commander Dong, do you want to directly transfer the military power of the Yuzhou Battalion?
Can you get it?"
Ye Chaoxuan frowned.
However, Changsun Meier had already said to the surrounding soldiers: "Princess is here. Without her instructions, you entered without permission with sharp weapons in hand. Do you really want to follow Ye Chaoxuan and rebel? Why don't you retreat!"
But the soldiers looked indifferent and ignored him.
But Mu Wuming burst out laughing, and Sheyue frowned and said, "Why are you laughing?"
"She Yue, you have been smart since you were a child, why do you become more and more stupid as you get older?" Mu Wuming said: "Master Ye, I will give you a chance. As long as you believe that Dong Cheng is a traitor, you will still be in charge of Xuzhou City.
But you have been given a step, but you don’t know why you have to make everyone tear apart?” He shook his head and sighed: “It is said that those who understand the current affairs are heroes. You should know what the current situation is, but yours
The choice was really disappointing.”
But She Yue said calmly: "Wang Zhuo, please step away first!"
Wang Zhuo took a few steps to the side, but still remained on guard.
She Yue stared at Mu Wuming's eyes, and said directly without further words: "Mu Wuming, General Changsun was assassinated, but you and Ye Chaoxuan planned it together?"
As soon as these words came out, the generals were shocked. Hu Haibiao said in horror: "Princess, the eldest grandson has been assassinated?"
Mu Wuming did not answer directly. Instead, he put his hands behind his back, stared at She Yue and said: "Originally, I wanted to wait a little longer and not go on stage too early, but Tantai Xuanye left the stage in person. You can't sing this show, so you need to change the protagonist.
.”
"What do you mean?" She Yue frowned.
Mu Wuming walked slowly to the chair and sat down, saying: "I told you last time that if you can hold on to Xuzhou for a while, the situation in the world will change. But my words are only half right, and
Half of it is not explained clearly."
She Yue's lips moved slightly, but she made no sound.
"It's true that you have the blood of Li Tang." Mu Wuming sighed: "But if the flag of Li Tang is erected in your name, the flag still cannot fly. Not only do you have the blood of the Li family, but also the blood of Xiahou
The blood of the family. Xiahou and you are mother and daughter. Even if they meet each other at war, they are still connected by blood. In the eyes of many people, the dispute between you and Xiahou is both a state matter and a family matter." After a pause, he continued: "Even
Some people may think that if you meet with Xiahou today, you may not be able to shake hands and make peace one day. Not everyone can understand the palace affairs, and not everyone can clearly see the relationship between you and Xiahou."
Ye Chao
It’s a burial place.”
"Master Ye is mature and prudent. He can understand that in fact, many people also have such concerns." Mu Wuming said: "You raised the flag in Xuzhou and only a few people responded. Is it just because you are currently lacking in strength?" He shook his head and said:
"The most important reason is that your blood is not pure. When Xiahou bloodbathed the Li family, the Li family was slaughtered, but you and Changning were left alone. This made the world understand that you are not just members of the Li family.
They are also members of the Xiahou family."
Ye Chao
Shaking his head and sighing: "At least I will be suspicious, worried about whether the princess really wants to fight to the end with Kyoto? Will Xiahou give the princess some conditions when the time comes, and the princess will lose her fighting spirit? Or maybe when it comes to a life and death situation, the princess will
You care about the relationship between mother and daughter, but you can't bear to fight with each other? As long as you have Xiahou's blood flowing in your body, others will have reason to have such suspicions."
She Yue's face was grim and she said, "Mu Wuming, what do you mean by changing the protagonist?"
"The meaning is very simple." Mu Wuming said: "You are no match for Tantai Xuanye. Apart from Jiangnan, you can't win more power!" At this point, he shook his head and said: "No, maybe Qin Xiao can still
I will work hard for you. This is a big game. You think you can compete with Xiahou, but in fact the power of your flag is much weaker than you think. To face off against Xiahou, you need a flag.
A real flag!”
She Yue looked suspicious, obviously she still hadn't understood Mu Wuming's words.
Hu Haibiao said loudly: "What on earth are you talking about? If you don't have a big flag, who are you?"
"Commander Hu, why did you follow She Yue?" Mu Wuming looked at Hu Haibiao and asked.
Hu Haibiao said without hesitation: "Of course I support the princess in reviving Li Tang. Three generations of our Hu family have been benefactors of Li Tang. When Xiahou usurped power and massacred the Li royal family, heaven and man were outraged. My father said before his death that those who do unjust things will be punished by death."
Sooner or later, the Xiahou clan will pay the price for what they have done."
Mu Wuming nodded, and actually cupped his hands to Hu Haibiao and said: "Your Majesty is loyal to Li Tang, and he is a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty. His loyal name will be remembered forever!" His tone was actually quite gentle.
Hu Haibiao was a little confused. He didn't expect that this man, who looked arrogant and rude, would actually salute to him.
"Commander Dong, I remember that your father was once a palace guard." Mu Wuming looked at Dong Cheng and said, "He once followed the late emperor on hunting three times, guarding the left and right sides. Once, the late emperor got so excited while hunting that he divided his guards into five teams.
Let's compare which team hunted the most prey. Your Majesty led one team and finally won the championship. The late Emperor Longyan was very happy and rewarded your Majesty with his own bow. I wonder if the Dong family still preserves that bow? I remember that the bow was engraved with "Nothing in the World"
The four characters "Blade" were engraved on it by the late emperor's order, but I wonder if the handwriting is still clear?"
Dong Cheng's expression was originally very stern. After hearing this, he was startled and said in surprise: "How do you know?"
This happened more than thirty years ago. The Dong family received the emperor's bow as a gift. Many people knew about this. The grace was great, but few people knew about the four words "There is no blade in the world" on the emperor's bow.
.
The Dong family naturally treasures the emperor's bow, but they are very low-key and do not publicize it to the outside world. Even within their own family, there are only a handful of people who have seen the emperor wear a bow. Few people know the details on the emperor's bow.
Those four words.
At this moment, Mu Wuming said something, and Dong Cheng was naturally shocked.
Mu Wuming laughed and said: "You answer my question first, and then I will tell you how I know."
"It was a gift from the late emperor." Dong Cheng said: "My father naturally kept it as a treasure. He wiped it frequently for more than thirty years, but did not show it to outsiders."
Mu Wuming sighed: "If you can carefully preserve the belongings of the late emperor, you will naturally be a loyal minister."
"How do you know those four words above?" Dong Cheng frowned and said, "There are very few people who know this."
Mu Wuming smiled and said: "Then I won't hide it from you. The treasure bow given by the late emperor was his favorite. After it was successfully made, he intended to leave a few words on the bow. At that time, the late emperor asked me to write
A few words, I wrote the four words "The world is without swords", which is to hope that the Tang Dynasty will be peaceful and the people will be safe, and there will be no disasters from swords in the world. After the late emperor saw it, he was very happy and ordered the prisoner to immediately engrave it according to the original mark.
On top of the treasured bow. Later, the bow was given to your father by the late emperor, and when the bow was presented to you, I happened to be serving the late emperor."
When his words came out, everyone, including She Yue, was shocked and couldn't believe it.
This ranger actually has such a connection with the late emperor?
The late emperor was able to engrave his handwriting on the bow and let him serve by his side when hunting, so the relationship between this person and the late emperor must be very close. According to Mu Wuming, he was probably a close official of the late emperor.
Dong Cheng and Hu Haibiao looked at each other and saw the shock on each other's faces.
"Who is your Excellency?" Dong Cheng said solemnly: "Since you have been favored by the late emperor, you should be loyal to the princess. Why did you collude with Ye Chaoxuan to rebel?"
Mu Wuming shook his head and said: "I have not rebelled, and Master Ye has not rebelled either. On the contrary, Master Ye is Li Tang's true loyal minister." He raised his hand, but slowly took off the mask on his face.
After taking it off, a thin face appeared.
She Yue stared at Mu Wuming's face and suddenly lost her voice: "You are Uncle Qing!"
