The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 217

"I can't talk about a perfect strategy, but it is indeed a bit shallow." Mu Xu smiled lightly and talked about his own opinion, "I think the suggestions from both the civil and military sides are good, your Majesty might as well adopt half of them, so that everyone has nothing to say. "

"Appreciate further details."

"Your Majesty can order the king of Nan'an County to take the initiative to attack according to what the civil servant said, and then send an admiral to lead the Jiangnan navy to respond to the two situations I mentioned."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ting immediately put forward his opinion, "Your Majesty's proposal is a good one, but Huo Huan, King of Nan'an County, may feel that the court has ulterior motives and will not go all out."

But Mu Xu shook his head and said, "This is human nature, but since ancient times when border generals fought against enemy countries, the imperial court either dispatched troops from the central government or sent officials to supervise the battle. What can't he understand? And I heard from my father that Huo Huan This person has always had a high opinion of himself, he has nothing to say, but he is very happy about his achievements, how could he be willing to let go of this opportunity to show his martial arts, maybe he still thinks that the imperial court sent troops to compete with him."

After hearing these words, Tu Zhen nodded involuntarily, then looked at Chen Ting and asked for his suggestion.Chen Ting thought for a while, and replied, "Since King Dongping commented on Huo Huan in this way, there is nothing wrong with it. I also agree with the son's method. It would be better for a supervisor to go and sit in town."

"Supervisor, this is a solution, but who to send, the King of Nan'an will not take ordinary people seriously."

As soon as Tu Zhen finished speaking, Mu Xu saw that the eyes of the two were on him. He quickly shook his head and refused, "I can't, it's not because I don't want to go through this experience, but because Huo Huan and my father have a relationship of the same generation. How can you put me, a junior, in your eyes?"

"It's better to send King Beijing to go. Although his seniority is low, his status is comparable to that of King Nan'an..."

Before Chen Ting finished speaking, Mu Xu resolutely objected, "No way, if you send the King of Beijing, it will only spoil the affairs of the court. Your Majesty may not know that the King of Nan'an is very serious about the voluntary withdrawal of the Beijing Palace. I was dissatisfied and thought it was a betrayal of our other three families, so the two families have become strangers and have long since died of old age. The King of Nan'an even satirized the Shui family many times during the gathering of the nobles."

"Then what should I do, I can't let my uncle be transferred from Liaodong to the south to supervise the war?"

Mu Xu himself didn't want to go into this muddy water, let alone his father. He was afraid that Tu Zhen would really do this if his head got hot, so he hurriedly came up with an idea, "My father definitely can't, Liaodong It has not been very peaceful all the time, he can't go away at all. In fact, His Majesty's eyes are dark. The court has many suitable candidates, such as a few uncles. "

"How many uncles?" Tu Zhen hesitated, he always kept in mind his father's teachings before his death, and was always on guard against his uncles.

Chen Ting, who didn't want to take the lead, heard Mu Xu's candidate, and immediately agreed with him, "Your Majesty, I feel that the candidate Mu Shizi said is the most suitable candidate. As the elders of the clan, the princes should take their own responsibility when the country needs it." Come forward. Of course, His Majesty also needs to take good care of the young prince who is on business, so that he has no worries."

"This old bastard, I didn't expect him to be quiet and insidious." Mu Xu only scolded Chen Ting in his heart, but completely forgot that he was the one who came up with this bad idea first.

"Well, uncle is right. As a junior, I have the duty to take care of my relatives." Tu Zhen immediately understood what Chen Ting meant, and said with a smile, "Which emperor uncle should I send?"

"Lord Zhongshun and Lord Zhongjing are both suitable, Your Majesty can choose one of them."

Mu Xu didn't want to be complained by Tu Rui in the future, so he quickly made a decision for Tu Zhen, "General Chen is right, but Uncle Seven is a frail scholar, I'm afraid he can't withstand the storms at sea, Uncle Fifth is the most suitable."

Tu Zhen pondered for a moment, "Okay, then send Uncle Wu to sit in the town."

Coming out of the palace, Mu Xu was in a particularly good mood. He was not because of the war in Qianxiang Kingdom, but because of other things.Before, he asked Yang An to send someone to Rongguo Mansion to inquire about the situation of Jia's second bedroom. Today, good news finally came. In this way, the action of cleaning up Jia Baoyu can be done freely.

But this matter still needs Xue Pan's help. Thinking of this, Mu Xu immediately turned his horse and headed towards Xue's house.When he got near Xue's house, he didn't go to the door, but just sat down in a teahouse at random, and sent his chief attendant to invite Xue Pan.

Not long after, Xue Pan followed Mu Xu's lead.The two exchanged a few words, and Mu Xu asked straight to the point, "Has your mother been in contact with the Jia Wang family in the past two years?"

"Why did my brother-in-law talk about her so well?" Xue Pan said with a disappointed face.

"I'm asking you something, you just tell the truth, where are there so many complaints?"

Seeing that Mu Xu was angry, Xue Pan hurriedly replied, "Yes, my mother will send someone to visit Jia Wang every month." After saying this, he remembered that Mu Xu didn't want to see Jia Wang, so he explained again. Said, "My brother-in-law also knows that my mother has always been soft-hearted. Since Jia Wang was imprisoned in the Buddhist hall, she has never been able to bear it, so she often sends people to send something to her sister."

"Okay, let's not talk about this, you come closer, I have something to explain." Mu Xu motioned Xue Pan to sit beside him, and then whispered, "Go back and ask your family to deliver things to Jia Wangshi..."

"You...you mean, tell Baoyu about Xia Jingui?" Xue Pan stammered, his eyes staring like copper bells, apparently startled by Mu Xu's idea, "Isn't Xia Jingui a tigress? , can the Jia family be willing?"

"You know what a fart, people are called quick-tempered, and Jia Baoyu is too weak, and it happens that the two temperaments can complement each other. This is a match made in heaven. We are doing good deeds."

No matter how stupid Xue Pan is, he won't believe Mu Xu's nonsense anymore. What he said is better than what he sang, and there's nothing complementary. Come on!As far as Jia Baoyu's behavior is concerned, he can't be put to death by the tigress.But it's nothing to do with himself, Xue Pan is happy to watch the jokes, but he also has concerns.

"I'm a little worried that this matter will be difficult to handle. Even if Jia Wang believed the servant's one-sided words, but now she is locked in the Buddhist hall, how can she be Jia Baoyu's master?"

Mu Xu smiled and comforted, "Just do as I tell you. There will be no problem. I've already made inquiries. The second master of Jia's family often visits Jia Wang's recently. I believe she can convince her husband. But this matter must be done quickly, because the second wife of the Jia family has already made a verbal agreement with the Li family, and if the two families formally sign the marriage certificate, it will be difficult."

Xue Pan was entrusted by Mu Xu, so he didn't dare to neglect. After he returned to the mansion, he immediately sent someone to invite Wang Momo over, and then he turned around and asked her, "Wang Momo, did you go to Rongguo Mansion so that you don't want to go to the Rongguo Mansion?" Many times, have you ever been familiar with the maid next to my aunt?"

Wang Momo didn't know why, but she told the truth, "Returning to the uncle, I have a good relationship with that girl named Yuchuan, and she is a smart person."

"This is really God helping me." Xue Pan clapped his hands happily. He knew the identity of this jade bracelet, and it was easy to buy this girl's sister who was forced to death by Wang.I saw Xue Pan took out two silver bills of five hundred taels each from his pocket and handed them to Madam Wang, "Here is one thousand taels of silver bills, and you and that girl named Yu Chuan each have five hundred taels. I need you to help me with something."

"This...Master, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it well, and your important event will be delayed." Of course Wang Momo wanted the money, but she was afraid of burning her hands, so she was a little hesitant for a while.

"Don't worry, this matter is very easy to handle, you don't need to take any risks, you do this..." I explained it carefully several times, and seeing that Wang Momo remembered it, Xue Pan did not forget to remind me, "You know me about this matter." You know, don't tell my mother, do you remember?"

When Wang Momo heard that Xue Pan only asked her to pass on a few gossips, she was rewarded with five hundred taels of silver, so there was no hesitation.She immediately patted her chest and promised, "Look at it, the old lady will definitely handle this matter properly, without any mistakes."

The next day, Mother Wang really went to Rongguo Mansion, and Yu Chuan couldn't help being surprised when she saw her coming, "Didn't Mother Wang come here two days ago, why are you here again today?"

Wang Momo replied, "Our wife got some good donkey-hide gelatin yesterday, and ordered me to send some to my aunt. By the way, where is my aunt?"

Yu Chuan pouted towards the Buddhist hall, "It's not a coincidence that you came, my wife picked up the Buddha beans for half the night last night, and she is falling asleep right now!"

"It's okay, I'll just see my aunt next time. Let's find a quiet place to talk, so as not to disturb my aunt's rest."
