The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 474
Wanting to understand this point, Mu Xu secretly basked in his heart, and was amused by Zhao Kai's innocence. This guy really makes people laugh and cry. Obviously his old man Zhao Ji is the key to his success in seizing the heir, but he doesn't seem to see this. It's the same thing, but I have to push hard to the side.

But since Zhao Kai came to the door by himself, Mu Xu would not push him out of the door. If he made friends with him, he might be able to take advantage of him in the future.

Immediately, he responded enthusiastically, "The officials love His Highness so much, and they have high hopes for His Highness. Your Highness must seize the opportunity and don't let the officials down."

Zhao Kai's eyes lit up, but he didn't know to refute at all. Instead, he had a sense of confidant towards Mu Xu out of thin air, and he repeatedly agreed with this statement. Unknowingly, he changed his address from Master Mu to Brother Mu.

What's more, when the two came to sit down in the main hall, Zhao Kai actually invited Princess Yun Zhu Fengying out to meet them.

Seeing that Zhu Fengying was going to salute him, Mu Xu couldn't keep people talking, so he hurriedly turned his gaze away, and said in a refusal way, "Princess must not do this, it should be the servants who worship you."

Zhu Fengying looked Mu Xu up and down a few times, covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Master Mu is very polite, you are not an outsider, maybe we Taro will call you uncle in the future!"

Mu Xu was startled when he heard the words, and had some guesses in his heart, but he still couldn't believe it, so he asked tentatively, "I don't know what the princess said?"

Zhu Fengying asked people to bring refreshments, and at the same time offered teacups to Zhao Kai and Mu Xu herself, and then said, "Let the prince and the lord talk, the concubine will take her leave first."

After Zhu Fengying left with a scent, Zhao Kai talked about the purpose of inviting Mu Xu on this trip, and only listened to him,
"Before talking about this matter, Xiao Wang wants to ask Mr. Mu a question. Please tell me the truth. Have you married a wife and had children?"

Mu Xu replied, "There are several concubines, but they have no wives and no children."

Zhao Kai immediately said happily, "In this way, the biggest obstacle to this happy event will be gone."

Mu Xu forcibly suppressed the wild thoughts in his heart, pretending to be puzzled and said, "My lord is honestly saying that the next official is at a loss, please enlighten me."

Zhao Kai said with a smile, "Master Mu, why pretend to be stupid, didn't you already meet my fifth sister in Genyue that day, don't you have to ask Xiao Wang to speak out?"

"This..." Mu Xu hesitated, "But will the officials agree?"

What Zhao Kai was waiting for was Mu Xu's words, and he immediately explained Zhao Ji's previous concerns and how he persuaded him.In short, it was to tell Mu Xu that without Zhao Kai's help in this matter, there would be no drama.

After finishing these words in one breath, Zhao Kai waited for Mu Xuna to bow his head and thank him for his great kindness as a matchmaker.But who would have waited for a while, only to see Mu Xu sitting there blankly, with an unsteady expression on his face, wondering what he was thinking.

Now Zhao Kai was really surprised, and couldn't help thinking to himself, "Could it be that Fifth Younger Sister is just hot-headed and hot-headed, and Mu Xu doesn't think of her as male or female? But it doesn't make sense. She is the princess that my father loves the most, and she is the one that any man would be willing to marry."

As the most powerful prince in the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kai always asked whatever came to his mind, "Does Lord Mu think that my sister is not good enough for you?"

Mu Xu hurriedly waved his hands and said, "It's my honor to be favored by the Empress Dowager for what your Highness said, how dare I have the reason to dislike it!"

"Then why do you look like this?"

Of course Mu Xu couldn't tell Zhao Kai that he was considering the pros and cons of marrying Zhao Fujin just now.After all, now that he has just come into power, when he does anything, he can't just look at his children's personal relationship, but also needs to consider all aspects, so as not to affect his whole body.

From a bright point of view, marrying Zhao Fujin has many benefits. Not only can it dispel Zhao Ji's wariness, but it can also buy a lot of time for development and reduce the suppression from the Song court.

But everything has advantages and disadvantages. Once you marry Zhao Fujin as your wife, it will be a little unreasonable to turn against Da Song in the future. You can't just use Zhao Song's lack of morals as an excuse, and your son-in-law will kill your father-in-law, right?

But if he refuses, let's not talk about whether he will offend Zhao Ji because of it. From Mu Xu's heart, he is not a monk, so he likes beautiful women like Zhao Fujin, not to mention that the two have some fate.

After thinking about it, Mu Xu finally made up his mind, let him do whatever he wants, agree first, and then say, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, why worry about it?
"Your Highness, I am a little worried that the ministers in the court will oppose this matter, and according to the Song Dynasty system, consorts have to take up idle positions in Tokyo, but Your Highness knows about the situation of the official, how can I leave the cloud?" State frontier?"

Hearing Mu Xu's scruples, Zhao Kai thought he was smart and gave him a solution, "This is easy to handle, brother Mu can make a marriage with Fifth Sister first, and you can return to Beijing after Youyun is calmed down in the future." Just marry her."

As soon as Zhao Kai's words came out, Mu Xu immediately understood that the reason why Zhao Ji let go of his mouth so easily was because he wanted to hug grass and shoot rabbits.

Regarding this point, Mu Xu will never compromise, but he will not be foolish to say no, so he said,
"If it is true as what His Highness said, then it would be great. But has Your Highness ever thought about what to do if the matter of You Yun takes a long time? You can't just drag it on like this and let Di Ji's youth fade easily, right?" ?”

Zhao Kai also realized that he was taking it for granted, but he still refused to give up and said, "Then can brother Mu hand over the soldiers and horses to the imperial court, and you will come to Beijing to take up the post?"

Mu Xu pretended to think for a while, then shook his head and said, "I'm afraid there is something wrong. I have some arrogant soldiers under my command. If there is no suppression from me, there will be troubles, and the gains will not be worth the losses."

Having said that, Mu Xu paused for a moment, leaned forward slightly, and after getting close to Zhao Kai, he whispered,

"Your Highness's kindness today, the official is too stingy, and I am willing to contribute a little bit to His Highness's grand ambitions, but if you come to Beijing to perform duties, you will not be able to help Your Highness. Your Highness, please think again."

Being exposed by Mu Xu so bluntly, Zhao Kai was startled at first, but then he came to his senses.

That's right, he worked so hard for Mu Xu because he was afraid that one day things would go wrong, and he expected Mu Xu to lead his troops to help him win the throne?

If this brings Mu Xu to Beijing, wouldn't it be a waste of effort this time?
After figuring out the stakes involved, Zhao Kai naturally didn't want to force Mu Xu to go to Beijing, but just to be on the safe side, he still wanted to confirm, "Brother Mu is serious about what he said just now, are you really willing to help me achieve great things? "

Mu Xu swore decisively, "I will do my best to help His Highness ascend to the throne of the king of a country. If you break this oath, you are willing to die with thousands of arrows piercing your heart!"

Hearing this, Zhao Kai was overjoyed immediately and said, "Okay, this king can also make an oath that we will never meet each other again!"

Zhao Kai only cared about being happy, so he didn't think deeply about the problems in Mu Xu's words.Mu Xu's promise was to make him the king of a country, but he didn't mention which country at all.

As everyone knows, Mu Xu is thinking at this moment, if Zhao Kai really helps him a lot, then at a big deal, he will find an island in the Southeast Asia countries in the future and make him a cheap king.

On the other hand, after being excited, Zhao Kai suddenly thought of the question Mu Xu just asked, so he murmured, "Brother Mu, please go back to the mansion and wait for three or two days. Xiao Wang will enter the palace today to report your difficulties to the emperor. Forge a good relationship with Fifth Sister as soon as possible."
