This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 656 The Hunt Begins

At the beginning of March in the 21st year of Tianyuan of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Jingzhou water diversion plan was completely completed, and Wen Ruyan began to promote the "one-whip method" in an all-round way. The land is divided equally and taxes are calculated by mu.Such a move naturally attracted applause from all the people in Jingzhou.

When it was time for spring planting, Wen Ruyan led the people in various villages to reclaim the land. Jingzhou is located in the northwest. Although it is barren, it has a vast territory. Nearly half of the land has not been reclaimed. Wen Ruyan believes that these There is no reason for great mountains and rivers.

The eighth day of March.

Ji Qiu came from Yanjing and brought a shocking news to Wen Ruyan when he devoted himself to the construction of Jingzhou.

Southern Chu Liuyun City was in great chaos half a month ago. The mansion of the eldest prince Mu Xiyun suddenly caught fire, and hundreds of people in the whole mansion died. Life was lost there.

The emperor of Southern Chu was seriously ill all of a sudden because of the pain of losing his son, and then Mu Xiqiu appeared in Floating Cloud City in an upright manner. Because of the deeds of the third prince and the ninth prince, countless ministers wrote letters to impeach him, intending to impeach the sixth prince Mu Xiqiu. Xiqiu was brought to justice, but was suppressed by Prime Minister Shen Yaochen and General Sima Zongheng.

The eldest prince, the third prince, the eighth prince, and the ninth prince died one after another. At this moment, besides Mu Xiqiu, there is only one adult prince under the Southern Chu emperor, the disabled fifth prince. Yifa, what should Nanchu do in the future?
Many civil servants think that although the eleventh prince is young, he is smart, kind-hearted, and worthy of great responsibility, while the sixth prince, Mu Xiqiu, is ruthless and has bad conduct when he kills the third prince and the ninth prince in spite of his family's blood. End, if you don't do it, it's not enough for the people to be angry!
And when the court was in chaos, the diners in the third prince's mansion suddenly stood up and listed all the wrong things the third prince had done in the past few years, among which was planning to kill the sixth prince Mu Xiqiu. Immediately, several people responded, and the diners in the residence of the Third Prince and the Ninth Prince stood up one after another to attack the two dead princes.

The good name is that in the past, he was controlled by others and did not dare to speak nonsense, but now that the sixth prince is in deep shackles, he can't bear to see him being criticized by the world, so he stands up to rectify his name!
And many people stood up and listed all the grievances Mu Xiqiu had suffered in these years.

And once this incident happened, the wind direction of the entire Floating Cloud City completely changed, and Mu Xiqiu, who slaughtered his brothers, turned into a poor child who endured humiliation.

At this turbulent time, the Prime Minister Shen Yaochen directly wrote a letter to ask the Emperor of Nanchu to make Mu Xiqiu the crown prince, but the Emperor of Nanchu felt guilty for Mu Xiqiu all these years, and because of the matter of the third prince and the ninth prince, he almost missed him. Taking his life away, he straightforwardly agreed to Prime Minister Shen Yaochen's request.

This matter has just come to a conclusion, and I don't know how many officials have jumped out to oppose the decision of the Southern Chu Emperor. After all, they have been in the officialdom for many years, so how can they not understand the way?
The third prince and the ninth prince have been dead for so long, why didn't those diners jump out before, but why did they stand up at this time?If it is said that there is nothing tricky in it, they will not believe it if they are killed.

But just when everyone thought that this matter would be in a stalemate, the emperor of Nanchu suddenly raised his butcher knife and killed all the officials who opposed this matter one by one. Qiu's side.

The emperor of Southern Chu directly suppressed this matter with such ruthless means, since then no one in the court objected to Mu Xiqiu's entry into the East Palace.

Jingzhou.

In Wen Ruyan's mansion.

After hearing what Ji Qiu said, Wen Ruyan also let out a long sigh.

He knew that Mu Xiqiu would definitely win, but he didn't expect him to win so easily. When Mu Xiqiu was forced to escape from Floating Cloud City, Wen Ruyan once thought that the emperor of Nanchu had lost his head. But today he finally understands a little bit, it's not that the emperor of Nanchu is in a daze, but this matter is in his plan from the beginning to the end.

If this matter was not his instruction, how could Mu Xiqiu win so easily?

Apart from the emperor of Southern Chu, who else could have the power to change the hearts of the people without making a sound?

It's just that when Mu Xiqiu enters the East Palace, the difficulties that Dazhou will face will double in the future. Ji Qiu also brought back another news that the emperor of Nanchu is indeed lying in bed with a serious illness, and he may die soon. After Xiqiu became the crown prince, she left Floating Cloud City again and disappeared!
After hearing all the news from Ji Qiu, the expressions of all the people present became serious.

Mu Xiqiu left Floating Cloud City without knowing his whereabouts, could they still not guess where he went?

I'm afraid he is already on his way to Jingzhou, or even arrived in Jingzhou City.

After everyone was silent for a long time, Ye Linxue looked up at Wen Ruyan and asked, "He's coming soon, what are your plans?"

Wen Ruyan shook his head: "This matter can only be taken one step at a time. Mu Xiqiu is very cautious. I guess even if he arrives in Jingzhou, he will not go to Ning Wan'er immediately, but will It is possible to show up only after we have figured out all the surrounding situations. At this moment, we are knowing that he is in the dark. What we can do now is to keep an eye on Ning Wan'er every day. If any strange person appears, we must Take it down right away."

"Mu Xiqiu is not to be missed." Ye Linxue pondered for a moment, and then continued: "I have learned his tricks from Yang Ping and I in the northern region. If he returns to Floating Cloud City safely and soundly this time If the emperor of Southern Chu is killed, then the difficulties we will face after the New Year's Eve will be doubled."

night.

About ten miles to the west of Liujia Village, a man in blue stood quietly on the hillside, looking at the dark distance.

Not long after, Peng Hai came over from behind and cupped his hands and said, "My lord."

"How's the scout going?"

Peng Hai shook his head, and said: "Now there are secret whistles everywhere around the Liu Family Village, and there are many experts among them. The few of us can't sneak in at all, and we can't see Miss."

Mu Xiqiu took a deep breath, nodded and said: "This is also within my expectation, after all, he has fought against Wen Ruyan so many times, and he is naturally aware of the relationship between me and Wan'er, so he won't take Wan'er Take it down, naturally it is waiting for me to come over."

After saying this, Mu Xiqiu suddenly chuckled, and then muttered to himself: "This guy has quite confidence in me, he knows that I will come sooner or later."

Peng Hai thought for a while and said, "Then what should we do now? The security there is so strict that it is impossible to pick up Miss."

Mu Xiqiu smiled and said, "Why did you have to pick her up?"

Peng Hai was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what Mu Xiqiu meant by those words.

I only heard Mu Xiqiu whispering again: "Wen Ruyan wanted to get rid of me, but I happened to have the idea of ​​getting rid of him too. If I killed him, it would be easy for Wan'er to solve it."
