Prosperous advisors

Chapter 975: On the Eve of the Expedition (3)
"Quick! Let's go out to receive the order." Jiang Taifu hurriedly helped his son's hand to get up.

"You don't need to be polite, old lady." Before he had time to go out, the people outside had already gone and brought them.Yun Yuefeng walked in wearing the clothes of a third-rank civil servant, looked at Jiang Taifu who was about to go out, and said in a deep voice.

Jiang Yu was a little surprised, "Master Yun, why are you here?" Before Yun Yuefeng was the prime minister, it made sense for him to come to deliver the decree.Now that he has been transferred to the Ministry of Punishment, why would he come to the Jiang family to pass on the decree?Yun Yuefeng cupped his hands and said, "Lord Jiang, I just went to see His Majesty and Prime Minister Mu when I was in the official position, and it happened that Prime Minister Mu asked me to come down here to pass on a decree."

"So that's the case. The minister is waiting for the order."

Yun Yuefeng took out the bright yellow imperial decree, and read in a low voice: "Jiang Hui, the daughter of the Jiang family, is talented and loyal to the country. She is bestowed with a thousand taels of gold, a pair of jade Ruyi, a sword, and two guards. I respect you."

"Thank you for your majesty's grace, and thank you, Mu Xiang." Everyone stood up to thank, and then stood up, Jiang Yuyan personally took the imperial decree from Yun Yuefeng.It was rare for Yun Yuefeng to take a curious look at this woman who dared to risk the world's disgrace.Originally thought that there was no other woman with such courage in this world except Mu Xiang, but she never thought that a family like Jiang's family with generations of scholars would actually raise such a woman.Moreover, Jiang Yuyan and Mu Xiang are completely different.Although both of them seem to be gentle and elegant, as long as they meet Mu Xiang face to face, they will find that the calm appearance gives people a kind of majesty and pressure that they dare not look up to.And the woman in front of her, if she didn't know what she was doing, she was really just an ordinary noble girl.

Turning around and taking a short sword from the person behind her, Yun Yuefeng said: "Mu Xiang obtained this sword three years ago in the Northern Han Dynasty, and Mu Xiang named it Qingluan. Mu Xiang said that he hoped Master Jiang could be as good as this sword." , although it has gone through thousands of years, it has not changed its true colors. I also hope that this sword can protect Master Jiang's safety."

Jiang Yuyan took it respectfully, "Thank you, Master Yun, and please tell Master Yun to Mu Xiang, thank you for Mu Xiang's teaching."

Yun Yuefeng took a deep look at Jiang Yuyan and nodded slightly.He raised his head and said to Jiang Taifu and others: "The imperial decree has been issued, and I will take my farewell."

"I'll take Master Yun out." Jiang Yu nodded and said with a smile.

"It's work."

After Jiang Yu sent Yun Yuefeng out, Tang Xiaofei curiously took the sword in Jiang Yuyan's hand and pulled it out. A green light flashed, and Tang Xiaofei couldn't help but praised: "Good sword." Jiang Taifu squinted his eyes and said, "It seems to be An ancient thing." Jiang Yuyan carefully looked at the sword in Tang Xiaofei's hand: "It really looks like an ancient thing." Tang Xiaofei praised: "Mu Xiang is really generous, and such a treasure is also given away." Born in the general family, Tang Xiaofei doesn't care about this Antiquity or not, she only knew it was a good sword.While sighing: "I heard that Mu Xiang gave Nangong Yu a Zhanlu sword. I am so happy." Jiang Yuyan smiled and said: "Although this sword cannot be given to you, you can use it."

Tang Xiaofei held it in his hand for comparison, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm used to using long swords, and this sword seems to be for self-defense like you young ladies."

"Nonsense." Jiang Taifu glared at the two of them and said: "The two girls don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, this is a sword bestowed by His Majesty. Swords have always been only given to generals, and there is only one kind of sword given to civil servants, do you understand?"

"What sword?" Tang Xiaofei blinked.

"Shangfang's sword!" Jiang Taifu said slowly, glanced at the two people and said: "So, put away this sword and the jade Ruyi bestowed by His Majesty, and take them away together. With these things, those magistrates also I dare not make things difficult for you." Tang Xiaofei suddenly realized, "It's no wonder His Majesty and Mu Xiang are so generous, so it's for this reason." You know, the number one scholar doesn't have so many rewards.It turned out that it was to support Jiang Yuyan.

Jiang Taifu snorted softly and said, "Little girl has no experience. Just know."

"Thank you grandfather for reminding me." Jiang Yuyan nodded, carefully put away all her things, and prepared to take them away with her when she left tomorrow.

When Jiang Yuyan left the capital, Mu Qingyi didn't go to see her off. Firstly, Jiang Yuyan's grade was not high enough, so it was eye-catching for her to go in person.The second is that Hanzhang Gongyu's study room has already started talking.In the past two years, Rong Jin had grown impatient. As soon as the news of the changes on the border of the Western Regions came in, someone immediately became excited, and ordered to go down to prepare food and reorganize the troops, planning to go on an expedition.

It is naturally a big event for the emperor to go to the imperial conquest, and it is even more a big event if he wants to take the prime minister with him.It can be resolved not just by persuading Wei Wuji, so in the imperial study at this time, Rong Xuan was arguing endlessly with Rong Jin because of this.As King Zhuang, Rong Xuan firmly disapproved of the emperor taking Mu Qingyi to the expedition.In Rong Xuan's words, Mu Xiang's talent is to manage the government and govern the country, not to march and deploy troops on the battlefield.This point can be seen from Mu Qingyi's performance during Rong Jin's eastward expedition to China, that Mu Xiang is really not good at military affairs.That being the case, bringing Mu Qingyi along is not only dangerous, but also a waste of manpower.Mu Xiang has nothing to do on the battlefield to help him with logistics, but there is no one to deal with the affairs in the capital, isn't it worth the loss?
Of course Rong Jin would not listen to Rong Xuan's advice, no one can change his mind on the things he has already decided.

"Your Majesty!" Rong Xuan said angrily.I don't know what evil the Xiyue royal family has committed. Two generations of emperors have been confused about women.It's also fortunate that Mu Qingyi is not the Concubine Mei Gui of the past, otherwise, what kind of virtue is this Emperor His Majesty?But even so, you can't act willfully, "Your Majesty, Xiang Mu has no power to restrain a chicken, and following him to the battlefield will only increase the danger out of thin air. Besides, what should I do if Xiang Mu is gone, and Cang'er is still in court?"

Mr. Wei leisurely watched from the sidelines, not helping each other.

Rong Jin said: "Are you and Wei Wuji planning to eat together and wait to die? Chen and Qingqing go out to fight, and the affairs in the imperial city will naturally be left to you."

"But Mu Xiang doesn't need to go to war at all!" Rong Xuan said angrily.If Mu Xiang was some kind of genius military strategist, or an unworldly famous general, he would have nothing to say.But this time His Majesty took Mu Xiang to the expedition just because he wanted to take Mu Xiang by his side.Is this what an emperor should do?
Young Master Rong Jiu didn't care, the emperor just did whatever he wanted, and did whatever he wanted!Otherwise, what is the emperor?
"Young Master Wei, what do you say?" Rong Jin couldn't say anything, Rong Xuan turned around and dragged Wei Wuji into the water.Young Master Wei shrugged his shoulders, and said helplessly to Rong Xuan: "Why does Prince Zhuang bother to talk anymore? If I could persuade him, I would have persuaded him long ago." Rong Jin is not easy to be persuaded by others.

Rong Xuan looked at the lazy Rong Jin, then at Wei Wuji who looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and finally gave up on himself.What's the matter with this king? !This king really persuaded him when he was exhausted.Taking a long breath, Rong Xuan decided to put the question aside, and asked, "In that case, when does Your Majesty plan to leave?"
